Surviving a Night Out on a Shoe String

I would say one of the most annoying moments for students is when a big night out is coming up, all of your friends are going, but there is a slight doubt in your mind because of one issue……CASH!

If you don’t have enough cash to go out, my usual advice would be don’t give in to peer pressure or temptation and stay in to put in those valuable study hours, but if going on a bender is unavoidable or you actually really DO want to go, here are some tips on how to survive the night on a tight budget and have a good time too.

Stick to your Budget
Before going out, plan ahead and choose how much you can afford to spend on the night out. This should be based on how much money you actually have, and can you afford to live until the next bit of cash comes in.

Now you have chosen your budget, stick to it! Here’s the best advice I can give you….do not take your cash/credit card out with you. Get your cash out from a machine in advance, so the temptation to withdrawl more than you have budgeted wont be there. And of course don’t go spending all of your budget at once or too quickly. Oh yes an nearly forgot, don’t borrow money from your friends, especially if you can’t afford to pay them back.

Stretching your Budget
To make your money go further, take advantage of special offers in pubs and clubs, such as buy-one-get-one-free offers, or money off offers, this will get you more booze for your buck.
Another way would be to go to student friendly pubs and clubs or even the student union, these places usually offer good reduction on alcohol prices and are usually free entry, or money off entry for students. But it could be as easy as just choosing to go to the cheapest places possible, you should take into consideration the entry free and the price of your favorite tipple.

Taxi
This is usually a stumbling block, let me guess how many of you out there, including myself have gone out on a budget when suddenly closing time comes and it hits you really hard in the face when you realise you didn’t take into account that you needed a taxi at the end of the night. My advice would be to place your taxi money in a separate pocket or a separate area of your wallet and DO NOT under any circumstance spend it.

If you follow these tips, not only will you have a great night out but you shouldn’t have any regret the next day, you will also have enough money to do what you usually do but didn’t have to sacrifice much. If you have any questions or need some advice, please don’t hesitate to email me on onlineblogs@gmail.com

The Brothers Knew How To Win New Business

Back in the seventies two brothers built a hugely successful advertising agency. They were called Maurice and Charles and their agency was Saatchi and Saatchi.

The key to their success was their ability to promote their business. It seemed like every week they would win new business from some big corporation.

Every time they won a new client they told the whole world about it.

The lesson for others to learn is that Maurice and Charlie weren’t always famous. When they started out they were just two more talented and determined people.

The world is full of talented and determined people, so what makes the difference between those who succeed and the also-rans?

The Brothers focussed their attention on building their business by creating a reputation. They knew that they would win new business almost automatically if people wanted to work with them.

The key to building their reputation was that they produced highly “creative” advertising. Their work was innovative, like the “pregnant man”. They then sought to win awards for their work.

But it didn’t end there – they went a step further. They actively promoted their good work and their awards to ensure they gained the attention of the widest possible audience.

They knew that to win new business they needed to expose themselves to the people who made decisions about which advertising agency their company should use. Such people will only beat a path to your door if they know that you exist and they are excited by your reputation.

Let’s just review what I have said here – they produced outstanding work and they promoted their work. Why, to build a reputation for producing highly creative advertising.

They made the name Saatchi and Saatchi synonymous with effective advertising. And because of that advertisers wanted to use their services.

This is a path that anyone who wants to build a successful business would do well to follow. It makes it really easy to win new business.

There was one other point on which I would be prepared to bet a large sum of money. I bet that the brothers never asked themselves: “what if?”

Successful people don’t worry too much about consequences, they deal with them when they arise. So, don’t you worry, just go for it.

David Ferrers invites you to: “transform your business into a gold mine. Working together we’ll ensure you win new business. The proof that I can do this is my personal client portfolio which includes: GM, J&J, Dell, Xerox, Prudential and P&O, plus many smaller companies. I’ll tell you how I blasted my way into these corporations. We’ll use the same techniques to build your business. I’ll show you everything you need to do as soon as you join my reasonably priced Marketing Club. I’ll send you a freshly made business building video every week. Plus, for a limited period, you’re invited to online profit creating seminars. I’ll even coach you privately with a guarantee to grow your business. Join today and I’ll immediately give you a FREE Bonus that can win you a new client in just 7 days.

Despisings

“Did no one condemn you?” Jesus asked the woman. “No one, Lord.” “Neither do I condemn you; go your way. From now on sin no more” (John 8:10,11); “If God is for us, who can be against us?…Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?” (Romans 8:31,33).

There is a lot of condemning in this world, and it started in the Garden with Adam and Eve and the Serpent, which means it has gone on forever and will no doubt go on forever. What a pity! No flower grows under constant wind and pounding rain; neither can the tender flower of childhood mature into the meat of manhood, if mom and/or dad see nothing but the tiny black dot on the big white sheet of paper. We live in a culture of censure; it sells more papers and fills in TV time.

I read something years ago that made a profound impression: “Blessed are those who heal us of self-despisings. Of all services which can be done to man, I know of none more precious” (Mark Rutherford). Mr. Rutherford even suggested making this the Eleventh Beatitude.

Mary became one of God’s elect because Jesus showed mercy rather than condemnation. Should we not follow His example and show forbearance to others? We are sinners, too, so why should we point out the tiny speck when we carry a beam of sin ourselves? “Love covers all transgressions,” (Proverbs 10:12b NAS) so let us rather love one another than condemn without the facts.

Cold Sore Care - How to Lessen Cold Sore Swelling Quickly

Cold sores or fever blisters can be annoying, not to mention unsightly. Such sores are the products of the herpes simplex virus. They will begin as red dots, then start puffing out, all itchy and tingling and cold sore swelling will take place. As the blister gathers moisture and water, it gets larger, and even more embarrassingly conspicuous. Cold sores actually come from any contact of the herpes simplex virus with your mouth, perhaps early in your childhood. The virus picked out a host cell and moved into it. The cell, perhaps a nerve, then suffered to become the puppet of the virus, as the viral DNA gave orders to the host to produce more of the herpes simplex virus.

As cold sore swelling takes place, the numbers grow, the virus multiplies, and the cold sores replicate. Such cold sores can turn up wherever they wish in your body, wherever their host cells lead them. If you have ever been disturbed and aggravated by a cold sore, you know how irritating cold sore swelling can be, and how ashamed you can feel whenever cold sores suddenly choose to wreak havoc. You might also have been tempted to prick it or pop it. Such methods, however, are dangerous, and can lead to cold sore swelling and more infections.

Here are a few methods you can use to lower cold sore swelling and have it disappear quickly. For more tips, consult with your doctor and find ways by which you can prevent even more cold sores from bugging you in the future.

- Because cold sores like moisture and dirt and need more water and bacteria to keep swelling, they can fade away if they are kept dry and clean. Wash the area around the cold sore regularly and pat it dry to lessen cold sore swelling.

- Buy a new toothbrush to prevent cold sore swelling and recurrence. Toothbrushes can incubate such cold sore-causing viruses for days at a time, so you can be infected once again after your last cold sore heals. Studies have shown that patients with cold sores were less likely to get them again if they replaced their toothbrushes after they discovered that they had a cold sore, and then after the cold sore healed.

Not only do toothbrushes make good homes for the cold sore-causing virus, so do toothpaste tubes. As you stick the bristles of your toothbrush against the toothpaste tube opening, you transfer the herpes simplex virus onto the toothpaste tube, where the virus can incubate for quite a while. To prevent this from happening, you can buy smaller toothpaste tubes, or avoid sticking your toothbrush bristles against the opening of the toothpaste tube.

- Herpes simplex thrives in moist conditions, so if you keep your toothbrush exposed in your bathroom, chances are you will get cold sores again and again and cold sore swelling will not be healed. Take your toothbrush out of the bathroom, and wash it before and after you use it.

- Shield the sore with petroleum jelly to avoid cold sore swelling. Use a cotton swab to apply the petroleum jelly onto the cold sore, and throw the swab away immediately.

- According to research, zinc can heal cold sore swelling quickly. Ask for tubes of zinc sulfate or zinc gluconate at your local pharmacy or health food store the minute you feel the familiar tingling of a cold sore.

- Some studies also show that the amino acid lysine can help heal cold sore swelling quickly. Supplement your diet with as much as three thousand additional milligrams of lysine by drinking supplements, or eating potatoes or dairy products to heal cold sore swelling. Be careful, however: lysine can interfere with infant development and growth, so if you are pregnant or nursing, you need to find other ways to treat your cold sores. If you can have the lysine-rich diet, however, stay away from arginine-rich foodstuffs such as sodas, peanuts, chocolates, grains, beer, and cashews. Herpes simplex relies on arginine to multiply.

Although you can lessen cold sore swelling and it naturally disappears after a few weeks, it is still best to find the best permanent treatment for cold sore. Cold sore is not only contagious but it also has high tendencies to come back on the same spot. It is important to stop cold sore at the root of the problem, instead of treating cold sore swelling or just masking the symptoms.

Did you know that you can totally eliminate your cold sores in 3 days? You will never have to worry about having serious cold sore swelling and recurrence problem again.

Where was God?

Donel McClellan, in a sermon titled “Sleeping Through Storms,” shares this:

A terrible tragedy engulfed a religion professor at Whitworth College. Gerald Sittser lost his wife, mother and four-year-old daughter in a single car accident. One by one, by the side of the road they died in his arms. Following the accident Sittser chronicled the emptiness of his life. With candor and matter of fact clarity he recalls the despair that threatened to overwhelm him—but amazingly, never did. He survived because he believed in the ancient Christian doctrine of grace. He believed in grace because he lived it. And he named the book he later wrote, “A Grace Disguised.”

He writes, “. . . [T]hough I experienced death, I also experienced life in ways that I never thought possible before—not after the darkness, as we might suppose, but in the darkness. I did not go through the pain and come out the other side; instead, I lived in it and found within that pain the grace to survive and eventually grow. I did not get over the loss of my loved ones; rather I absorbed the loss into my life, like soil receives decaying matter, until it became a part of who I am. Sorrow took up permanent residence in my soul and enlarged it.”

Sometimes when I’m reading a particularly profound devotion, I experience what I call a “wow” moment, and this surely is one of my wows. To repeat: “Sorrow took up permanent residence in my soul and enlarged it.” Grace—this is such a cardinal tenet to our faith and we miss it, especially in times that tear our insides to pieces that only a loving Father can restore to a wholeness again. This dear man lost mother, wife and daughter. I thought of Job and the messenger who brought him the news that all his children had died together, gone, just like that.

So where was God while Dr. Sittser cradled his beloveds in his arms? God was right where He was when His Son died! I didn’t understand the profoundness of this until the night we heard our son scream and then shoot himself to death. I do believe that what got me through the moments, minutes, hours, days and weeks afterwards was the absolute belief that our Father was there with us through it all. And I believed that God would give us the courage (yes–courage!) to crawl through this valley, and walk and run again (Isaiah 40:29-31). I hope this doesn’t sound blasphemous, but God depends on us as much as we depend on Him.

Gerald Sittser concludes in his book:

“To live in a world with grace is better by far than to live in a world of absolute fairness. A fair world may make life nice for us, but only as nice as we are. A world with grace will give us more than we deserve. It will give us life, even in our suffering.”

Thank you, Dr. Sittser, for reaching beyond unfathomable grief and sharing with us your inspiring words. We are forever grateful to you.

“See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction” (Isaiah 48:10).

Parenting Girls - Entertainment Girl Style

Whether she’s a tomboy or a little princess, sometimes your little girl just needs some downtime. Lives are hectic these days, and that can take a toll on those we want to protect. Help your daughter discover the benefits of relaxing. When she is done reading a book or drawing a picture, what can you do with your girls who need a break from all the running around so common today? Take them online!

Girls have things they like and things they don’t – and it varies by girl, of course. One thing that a lot of young girls enjoy, however, is a bit of coloring or drawing. Many websites, including TheDollPalace.com are catching onto this bit of interest, and on behalf of these girls, are designing online coloring pages.

Coloring Online?
Traditional coloring books are fun, but coloring pages online offer an entirely new world of entertainment options. The DollPalace, for example, uses many of their most popular dolls, including dolls of the young celebrity Miley Cyrus, to build coloring pages. Girls have the opportunity to browse the available pages, then enjoy coloring them right on the computer. Once the picture is finished, there are plenty more available for continued fun.

Moving Beyond Coloring Pages
Once your young lady has run out of coloring steam, there is still plenty to do online without ever leaving the coloring page website. There are hundreds of dolls to discover – including many Miley Cyrus dolls that have not been made into coloring pages, and young girls can try their hand at designing their own dolls as well.

These websites have many activities that parents can approve of and even enjoy with their children. Parents may be just as stumped as kids when it comes to trying to guess celebrity dolls by their award show finery and some of the dolls – such as mermaids and goddesses open the door for creativity and perhaps even a little story telling of your own. Encourage story telling or have your daughter write a few personalities or stories about their favorite dolls. Girls love fantasy games, and dolls are a perfect means for this.

A Safe Haven
As new coloring pages are created every week, there are always new things to do. With so many questionable locations on the internet, it’s a relief for parents to be able to find a safe haven. A website that keeps girls happy and occupied with some of their favorite actresses, activities and games in a single location makes it easy to keep tabs on what your daughter is up to and make sure she’s having fun.

Every parent wants the best for their child, and with coloring pages online, there is a new avenue open. Keep your daughter safe and happy at the same time by opening up the virtual world of coloring and dolls.

Web Site Traffic Secret Uncovered

Where does web site traffic come from?

It is a question that leaves many new Webmasters scratching their heads in frustration and bewilderment. After all, traffic is the life-blood of any website and if your site isn’t getting any then you have a problem. But it need not be that way because there is more than one solution and some are much easier to achieve than others.

The biggest secret to getting web site traffic is… wait for it…, backlinks. Yes, I know it’s not much of a secret, but it is the type of inbound links and how you go about getting these all-important links that is important. Get it wrong and, at best, you will be wasting your time, at worst, you could actually damage the credibility of your Website. Alarmist I know, but true all the same.

How do you damage the credibility of your site? By procuring links from sites that have been given a black mark by search engines for using questionable SEO tactics such as hidden text or keyword spam. Such sites are known as ‘bad neighbourhoods’ and as the name suggests; should be avoided. In fairness, the search engines know that you have no control over who chooses to link to your site, so don’t get paranoid about the idea, but do try to concentrate your efforts on links from good neighbourhoods.

So if backlinks are so important to the success of a Website then surely it would be worthwhile spending some cash to achieve the desired results, which begs the question: Is it worth paying for links?

The short answer is that it can be. But before you reach for your wallet you should be aware that some paid links are more effective than others, and there are of course plenty of ways of building backlinks for free. So, before spending any cash perhaps we should determine just what a ‘quality’ inbound link is.

A worthwhile, or indeed ‘quality’, inbound link is one that will add some value to your website. That value could be click-through traffic or page rank that will boost your own site’s ranking in the SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages), but preferably; both. If you haven’t already done so, then you should install the Google toolbar (you can find it at http://toolbar.google.com) so that you can check the page rank of prospective link partner sites. But be aware that page rank does not necessarily equal traffic! However, it can be a good indicator of a site’s worth.

If you do intend to buy a link on another website then it is perfectly reasonable to ask the Websmaster for some evidence of traffic statistics. A quality site with a good amount of traffic should happily provide this information in return for a paid link. If not, then look elsewhere; it is their loss.

In conclusion: one way of building traffic to a website is to invest time and effort in building inbound links, or backlinks, from other quality Websites. Avoid ‘bad neighbourhoods’ and concentrate instead on getting quality links. Finally, if you are going to pay for a link then try to get some evidence of how many visitors the linking site is getting.

Online FOREX Brokers – A Brokers View Of Why Novice Clients Lose

I write frequently on how to trade but my observations on the markets here I will go back to may days as a broker and give you the view from the dealing room on client behavior and the major reasons traders lost.

I dealt with several thousand traders over 8 years and here are my observations.

This was the late eighties and early nineties and online FOREX brokers of course did not exist, clients behave no differently today as they did then.

Here are the top reasons traders lose with any FOREX broker and that includes online FOREX brokers

1. Methods traded were illogical

The first reason was simply methods did not work as logic they were based upon was not relevant to market movement.

Today, day trading is more popular than ever with online FOREX brokers, but it was around 20 years ago and the same results were obtained which were:

A wipe out of equity in a short time.

Day trading did not work then and it doesn’t work now- Volatility is random in short time frames.

Any support and resistance seen in a daily time frame therefore is useless for trading purposes.

Online FOREX traders just like we did must love day traders lots of commission generated!

As a broker your balance sheet is based upon commission to equity.

You generally assume all clients lose anyway, so if they pay lots of commission while losing all the better.

There were other methods that lost especially the ones that clients bought that promised regular money or an income from trading.

These methods were normally bought tested in hindsight and the trader threw in the towel after a few losses, or was wiped out.

Another group that lost were the ones with complicated methods.

They figured the more complicated a method was the more likely it was to succeed, this of course is totally wrong.

Simple systems work best as there are fewer elements to break.

We had one trader who bought a system which he proudly boasted was based on artificial intelligence and the same technology used by NASA to put a man on the moon

Unfortunately, it did not help him in the market!

2. Discipline

What always struck me was how few clients could trade in a disciplined fashion.

They had jobs where they had to be disciplined everyday, yet in the markets they simply behaved irrationally as soon as a few losses came along.

- They would chop and change methods looking for the perfect one.
- They would revenge trade to catch up losses.
- They would blame the markets and call them stupid

When money is on the line we all know it’s hard to be disciplined, but the emotions that we saw ranged from crying to total despair, including one suicide.

3. Money management

Many clients were good at picking market direction but could never make any money due to poor money management.

This was problem for them not only in cutting loses ( they very often removed stops or never placed them) of course, a small loss soon becomes a big loss, the trader cant take that, then he was handed a loss he had to take.

He would have been better of taking the small loss in the first place.

What surprised me was how few traders could accept big profits.

The bigger the profit became the more they wanted to take it even if their system indicated further gains.

The argument given was:

“you don’t go broke taking a profit”

Of course you do, if profits don’t exceed your inevitable losses.

This was perhaps more important than taking small losses.

Traders I saw could not allow trades run to $10,000 or more, a couple of thousand and they banked.

There are more reasons but they above are the ones that caused most losses and of all the traders I traded less than 1% made money longer term.

In part 2 of this article we will look at different personalities we traded, who won, who lost and the traits of the traders who won.

2 Inspirational Sportsmen That Will Inspire You

The world of sports is full of courageous stories. This article will bring to you two sportsmen who have the courage to excel and beat against all odds to achieve the unthinkable. In a field where physical strength is the most important factor, these athletes showed human will is a more significant thing.

If you have been struggling to excel in life or sports because of your age or because of physical limitations, the two athletes will inspire you to achieve your dreams.

1. Cliff Young- the ultra marathon runner
A potato farmer, Cliff Young took part in a Sydney to Melbourne ultra-marathon race in 1983. Coached by his mother who’s 81 during the time, Cliff Young started the marathon with work boots and galoshes overalls.

Competing against world-class marathon runners who were backed up by big sports companies and had hundreds of hours preparing for the race, Cliff Young’s informal training regime consists in running for his sheep. He told the organizers that if he can run after his sheep for a few days, he could surely compete with other runners.

The ultra marathon normally took 5 days to complete and this potato farmer’s decision seemed suicidal. In fact, some tried to stop him from running the super-difficult race because they though Cliff Young could die due to the heat and fatigue. After all, he’s 61 years old!

To cut the story short, Cliff Young managed to finish the race. While the young racers sleep, he continued the race throughout the night. The young athletes left him far behind until the very last night where he eventually lead the marathon.

Not only Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer survived the race; he even managed to win the marathon and actually broke the race record by 9 hours! He even gave away his prize money to the rest of the runners after him.

After the win, he continued to run in many ultra-marathon races and has even sets standards in the world of endurance racing. His running style – dubbed “The Cliff Shuffle” is a famous running technique adopted by many runners in the world today.

Cliff Young showed that being old is not a barrier. And being a champion doesn’t mean you need have super-human strength, just super-human wills.

2. James Braddock – the fairy tale boxer

In 1928, James Braddock was a successful amateur boxer who broke his arthritis hand in several places during a fight for a chance for championship. He lost the game but continued his boxing career with an injured hand because he needed the money. As a result, his career floundered and he had eventually lost his boxing license when the boxing authority deemed him an embarrassment to the sport.

Out of work, James Braddock found himself in a difficult situation as the Great Depression swept the country of her wealth. Along with million other Americans, James Braddock went under, with no money or career to put food on the table of his young family.

Struggled to even buy milk, James Braddock waited at the harbor docks for jobs. Not wanting to be out of work, he made sure no one knew about his injury. During the difficult time, the family struggled with little food and had even had their electricity cut during winter.

In 1934, a few years in poverty and under government assistance, Braddock was asked to fill in a spot as a temporary boxer. Out of shape, Braddock was seen as an easy opponent. In what was considered a big upset, Braddock crushed his high rank opponent much to the amazement of boxing fans. With the help of his ex-manager, his license was eventually restored.

A veteran boxer with almost no chance of a career revival, Braddock defied his critics and won games after games and managed to eventually come back from a dead career. He ultimately went on to fight the World Heavyweight Champion during the time – Max Baer. A tall, powerful boxer, Max had actually killed a few of his opponents in the ring.

A small boxer, fans hoped Braddock wouldn’t be killed during the fight. Most believed that his fairy tale revival would end on the night he fought Baer.

It was a difficult fight for Braddock. He took heavy beatings and even broke his ribs during the match. However, he fought until the end of the fight and eventually won the World Boxing Heavyweight Championship, much to the amazement of the whole country.

He earned the nickname “The Cinderella Man” from this amazing comeback. From a poor, forgotten boxer, James Braddock went on to be the heavyweight champion of the world.

These courageous sportsmen are human beings just like you and me. But they go against all odds to achieve success not only for themselves but also inspire those who follow their careers.

They don’t give excuse. They work hard. They followed their dreams. They showed that human-will is more important than anything else. They showed that success can be achieved regardless of your limitations

So what’s your excuse?
