The motivation to change my oil came the other day when I turned the key in my car’s ignition. It coughed wearily, and there was an ominous clicking sound where the engine should have chimed in. Then there was a brief flashing of several lights on the dash. One of them was the oil light, and I sat behind the wheel for a minute, realizing that even if I had extra motor oil on hand, I’ve no idea where it goes.

A thousand what-ifs raced through my mind, and they all required a functioning automobile for me to address them. Foremost was the warning of a friend who learned the hard way that you don’t put off oil changes. Something happens to the engine–something I understand only as “seizing up.” For my friend, it meant having to buy another car.

This is what I always tell myself when there’s something I’ve been procrastinating about. Usually it’s an oil change for this single parent family’s aging but beloved automobile, or something around the house that needs doing, but gets pushed aside because it will take an investment of time and effort that I don’t feel like giving it.

Working at home is somewhat comparable, only in the sense that it requires the same mentality as the nudge to get your car’s oil changed. It will take an investment of your time and effort, but consider: stay-at-home parents work pretty hard alreadyassembling furniture, planning days that contain just the right amount of intellectual stimulation, fixing lunches and snacks that deliver the right balance of nutrients and calories, making it better (whatever the current “it” happens to be), reading that favorite story umpteen times with the same enthusiasm as the day it was first discovered.

Forget about waiting around for the economy to improve. Forget about lining up for dibs on a limited number of summer weekends. Just get up and do.

Who Is Stuart Goldsmith?

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

‘Stuart Goldsmith? Who is Stuart Goldsmith?’ you may be asking.

I met Stuart at his retirement seminar in London at the end of 2002. I couldn’t miss the chance of seeing for myself if he was ‘for real’. He didn’t disappoint me!

In his books, courses and newsletter he is very controversial. He explained that this is a deliberate shock tactic used to make people wake up and take action.

Here is a sample of his opinion about the majority of people who live their lives like sheep:

“After a lifetime of always choosing the easy option, the lazy way out, the least amount of work, the mediocre will have the temerity to call you ‘lucky.’ They will then demand ‘their’ share of your wealth – the wealth you built by numerous small daily disciplines, each one requiring you to forgo immediate gratification of your desires.”

“Whilst vilifying and despising the rich and successful, they will be frantically completing a lottery ticket in an attempt to join them.”

“People are NOT equal. They never have been, and they never will be. Any attempts to make them equal are doomed to failure. Some people are superior to others – they always have been. Most people are like sheep – they always will be. This is just a plain, simple fact of life.”

You have been warned! If you are prepared to be shocked, you can learn a lot about wealth, power and freedom from Stuart Goldsmith.

Procure Cheap West End Musical Tickets Online

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

London breaks always seem like such an excellent idea – to leave behind habits & habitats, watching something new; perhaps listen to something different. However, without a purpose, weekends away can frequently fall a bit short, a case of ambling around a large town, constantly darting into retail shops & recognising statues. This may well be sufficient if you are pleased to go with the flow, although if you enjoy being busy & ‘doing’ something then West End theatre show breaks can be an excellent choice.

Even if you could continuously fly to New York, why would you wish to? There is plenty of talent and tinsel much closer to you in London. Notably, London includes a large number of glorious theatres, the majority of which can be found located together in the West End – a place in which everyday life looks to become a little more rosy & the whole lot turns out well at the end of the day; or at least if not, you can get trapped in heart-rendering moments & feel a little bit of a better individual.

However for lush, light-hearted entertainment during a London show break as a rule the majority of individuals turn to musical plays. These can be anything from the heart-wrenching disaster of Les Misérables to the rollerblading wonder that is undoubtedly Starlight Express. Although, admirers of rock and roll, doo-wap & men and girls in exceedingly tight black leather will only be interested in one musical show – Grease. Taking the UK by storm in the nineteen-seventies, this exciting show has never ever failed to make an impact, transferring with consummate ease to the silver screen. Including a dazzling John Travolta & an impossibly skinny Olivia Newton-John, the motion picture went on to be chosen for an Oscar. The Leicester Square Box Office sells cheap London theatre tickets, visit the website today.

A lot of people will have time in their heart for Grease, no matter what age they are, or indeed what gender. It is 1 of those fun motion pictures that is enjoyed by many age groups; equally the London musical is fitting for both young and old alike. The ease and energy of Rydell High is catchy, the late nineteen-fifties costumes are desirably retro, & the music songs are so catchy that you’ll be singing in your seats.

Use Your Mental Mouse

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Have you ever wished you could take your computer mouse with you into your off-line life? When you’re looking for a parking space near that new restaurant, wouldn’t you like to pull down a menu of options and click on “find a spot 2 blocks away”? When you realize you have just introduced your spouse to your colleague Justin Case but called him the wrong name, don’t you wish you could just highlight the whole transaction and delete it?

Well, I contend that you actually have a “Mental Mouse” which you can learn to use to your great advantage. Here are some ideas to spark your imagination.

SAVE

Often the answers to our challenges are visible to us, but they flit by so quickly that we hardly notice them. They occur to us in the form of fleeting ideas or images, which we may not even register. Or we dismiss or disregard them. This needs to change. Harvesting images and ideas that are vibrant and compelling can be a critical step in moving forward in our lives. Capturing them for later consideration can make a difference.

Here’s what to do. When one of these images appears, use your Mental Mouse and click “save.” This is your way of saying to yourself, “This is a compelling idea. I will remember it.” As soon as you can, jot it down on a piece of paper, or write it to a computer file. Do this regardless of whether it’s practical, realistic, reasonable or whether it passes any of your other requirements for an idea “worth keeping.”

Now it’s saved. You can look at it later. Many of these images come from your intuition or your inner wisdom. They are worthy of your consideration. Some you will reject, but others can lead you deeper into the life you dream of.

EMPTY YOUR RECYCLE BIN

My computer misbehaved several days in a row recently. When I asked my Computer Wizard about it, he told me he told me to see if my recycle bin needed to be emptied. The truth? I had completely forgotten about the recycle bin. When I looked, I was appalled to find probably a year’s worth of “deleted” files. HAHA! They weren’t deleted REALLY. I used my mouse to empty that recycle bin, and got rid of those files once and for all! My computer once again became docile, servile, and even perhaps a bit ingratiating.

What a great metaphor! How often do we do this in our lives? We THINK we’ve gotten rid of something because we’ve “deleted” it, that is, removed it from view. But it lurks!! It is still really there for us, below daily consciousness, waiting to be called back into service, eating up our energy, zapping our memory, using up precious creative and productive juice.

What’s in your personal recycle bin? It could be an ancient, obsolete image of yourself that you are still fighting, say as a sloppy 6-year-old, even though your work is meticulous, your reputation is sterling, and your personal appearance and home are impeccable. I have worked with affluent clients at midlife who still carried with them an image of themselves living hand-to-mouth as they had in their younger years. These outgrown images of yourself can be emptied! They are not serving you.

Ditto for the “I should have’s”: I should have gone to medical school. I should have married the other guy. I should never have left South Dakota. These may be serious hints about actions you need to take to make your present life better – in which case, take the actions: make a move into a science career, or just start taking some courses. Get clear what’s missing in your marriage and enroll your partner in creating it with you. Identify what you miss about South Dakota and find it where you are. Or visit South Dakota and remind yourself why you left! But let go of the “should have’s.” They are big time energy thieves.

What’s lurking in your recycle bin? Grab the hand of a trusted friend and go have a look. Use your mental mouse to let go of what you no longer need.

DETACH

I recently wrote an email and attached a file to send with it. By mistake I attached the wrong file. So I detached that file and attached the correct one. I was struck with how easy it was!

When you’re stuck in a traffic jam, stressing out because you’re late for a meeting, wouldn’t you like to click “detach” and just release all of that tension? You actually can, by using your Mental Mouse and choosing to detach from this and other attachments (to a particular outcome) that are not serving you well.

Have you ever had to work on a project with someone you just don’t like? Or someone who doesn’t seem to like you? This can be difficult, especially if you have high needs for connection or being appreciated. You have obviously already clicked “attach” earlier in the process, or you wouldn’t be so invested in creating a particular outcome: people liking each other. But the truth is, once you’re aware of what you’re doing, you can mentally click “detach,” and support yourself to be okay with whatever the outcome is. This actually leaves you freer to do your best work.

Notice when you are stressing out. Use your Mental Mouse and detach.

COACHING TIPS:

1. Play with the idea of a Mental Mouse.

2. Stop and take notice when you wish you could “click.”

3. Identify the human action you need to take.

4. Take that action.

If you’re considering hiring a coach to help you with challenges like using your Mental Mouse, contact me at sharon@stcoach.com for an initial consultation at no charge.

Exercise and Kids: The difference between training children and adults!

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Copyright 2005 Raymond Kelly

The greatest mistake a person can make when exercising with children is to treat them like little adults. Children are growing and developing rapidly. This means that certain physiological issues must be considered when they are exercising.

Bone Injuries That Affect Growth When most parents think of children and weight training their first concern is the possibility of it affecting their growth. Contrary to popular belief, weight training will actually improve the bone and muscular systems. It is when children have a lack of qualified supervision that accidents occur. Actually, growth problems are extremely rare when children are given well-designed programs with qualified supervision. In fact, growth problems occur more frequently in dynamic sports such as Tennis, Swimming, and Baseball, than they do in weight training. Another misconception about growth related injuries is that it will happen without you noticing it. It is actually quite painful because you are actually cracking the top of the bone. It will cease the growth in that bone only so if you get this injury in your upper left thigh (femur), only your left femur will stop growing. Your right femur will continue to grow.

Kids Have Higher Heart Rates and Lower Blood Pressure A child has a smaller heart and less blood volume than an adult so the child’s heart compensates by beating more often (per minute). A child’s blood pressure is also less than an adult because this is directly proportional to body size. It reaches adult levels in their late teens.

Children Don’t Perform Well Without Oxygen! Children have a limited ability to perform anaerobic activities due to the limited production of the enzymes required for provide energy in the absence of oxygen.

Keep Kids Cool In The Heat A child’s sweat glands are not yet fully developed so they are less effective at cooling down through evaporation then adults. Make sure they drink lots of water and always exercise in light, cotton clothing.

Property Casting – Podcasting for the Real Estate Industry

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Propertycasting is the commercial application of podcasting for the real estate industry. Propertycasting involves the distribution and publishing of audio and video feeds, that offer real estate information delivered over the Internet, for on demand listening.

This is a new step in the evolution of on-demand real-esate information delivery, making it accessible, informative, useful and appealing. This mix presents the real estate industry with a very unique opportunity to reach its target audiences through this new medium. Those individuals, who are already seeking real estate information actively, will use RSS subscription technology built into each podcast feed, to receive information immediately as it is updated by the real estate firm. With one click of a button, a user can subscribe to a feed that may be interesting, and any related information that is ever updated to that feed will be automatically processed to their personal aggregator. An aggregator is able to subscribe to a feed, check for new content at user-determined intervals, and retrieve the content.

To take this process one step further, podcasting publishes each feed with the capability to be transferred to any portable audio or video device. So with the growth of the ipod and all the other portable media devices, you have the ability to grab propertycasts and place them on your portable player for listening or viewing. Most users attach their portable players to their computers daily or weekly, and once the player is attached they automatically receive the new propertycast updates.

Here is an sample propertycast:

http://whatiwantpodcasting.com/pods/video/PropertyCast_Large_Wind ows.wmv

The flexibility of this medium is what will drive the growth of propertycasting tremendously over the next few years. Currently the most useful application for real estate organizations worldwide, is complimenting already existing real estate web pages with audio and video feeds. These propertycasts detail important notices and information that may be prudent, along with a quick marketing pitch from a broker. These can be used for seasonal marketing activities, special events, or monthly updates.

For years and years, associates and brokers have been sending out property listing updates. These propertycasts can be inserted into your existing listing pages. Most firms have numerous web pages which deliver real estate information in text and pic format. By providing an audio or video link on that page it gives the user a different and much more effective format for receiving the information. This is also a great way to teach your existing users how to start utilizing propertycasting services.

The popularity of portable on demand information will grow even greater as wireless internet services continue to flourish across the country. These portable devices will no longer have to be connected to the internet; they will receive information wirelessly as it is updated. In addition, as cell phones and portable devices continue to merge together, the market grows larger.

For firms that have thousands of employees or brokers, the distribution of company information is very important, and once again this offers each institution a method of on-demand delivery which is convenient to all.

There are numerous uses for propertycasting currently, and over the next few years it will explode in popularity. It is beneficial to institutions as well as the consumer, and it will be seen as a great tool in any real estate organizations’ operations.

This Article was written by Ryan M. Hoback, CEO of What I Want Podcasting.

What I Want Podcasting offers you the ability to record customized audio or video real estate listings in your area. Our mobile podcasting studio will travel to each location to film your properties and /or record your audio information listings. Our mobile studio brings the video equipment to your property location, and then the agent uses our mobile audio studio to record his voice-over on site.

Updated Bathrooms Pay When You Sell Your Home

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

Many home owners look for ways to add value to their homes through improvements. One of the best ways is to have a go at your bathrooms.

The Almighty Bathroom

Today’s bathrooms are wonderful. Showers that “rain” on you, warm air hydrotherapy bathtubs, sinks that look like water worn boulders. You can pamper yourself now and smile on your way to the bank when you sell because homes with good kitchens and bathrooms are in demand. The only caveat is don’t make it so grand that it’s above your neighborhood’s standards. It’s hard to get your money out when yours is the most expensive house in the neighborhood.

Explore and Plan

The scope and style of your bath update needs to fit the style and price range of your home and your family, and you’ll face space constraints. One way to approach the project is to canvass various places that sell bathroom fixtures, see what you like, comparison shop, and then see if there’s an outlet for your price range with a good design staff to help you on a “freebie” basis if you buy from them.

Lowe’s and Home Depot are useful if you are very price conscious. They carry brands we’re all familiar with. It can be fun to explore some of the avant-garde fixtures in some of the high end outlets, and then see if something similar can be achieved for less. And if the budget (and the neighborhood) can take it, go for a truly luxurious spa of a bath.

Simplicity is prized today. I think it may be because life tends to be so rushed and complicated. Simplicity does not mean boring. Far from it. The simple can pamper and provide great visual appeal.

Put together a plan within your budget and you are on your way. Improved bathrooms can actually add tens of thousands of dollars in equity to your home.

Fantastic Ideas for Ringbearer Gifts

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Whether he is knee high to a grasshopper or already a little league slugger, your ringbearer will think he is “one of the guys,” thanks to the responsibility of carrying your wedding rings to the front of the altar on your wedding day. Why not commemorate the occasion by choosing among a selection of ringbearer gifts readily available in stores today?

Your ringbearer will take his job seriously. And he will also be a little nervous. After all, who would not be, considering that all eyes of the wedding guests will be upon him? Ringbearer gifts are a great way to convey your thanks to him and that you appreciate his efforts.

What type of ringbearer gifts should you consider? There are a few things to factor in first in your quest for a present. First of all, how old is he? His age could guide you in your decision in ringbearer gifts. Another factor to think about is his personality and interests. What gets him excited? What does he have fun doing?

If he is just a little guy, consider ringbearer gifts that are keepsakes, yet also functional. Personally engraved silver plated banks make for great ringbearer gifts. Depending on what he likes, you can find banks shaped like tractors, airplanes and even trains. In addition, you can put a few dollars in coins to start his “savings.”

Other ideas for ringbearer gifts for a younger kid include Lego kits, Hot Wheels cars and even activity kits with markers and stickers. The Lego’s and even the activity kits would make great ringbearer gifts because they could keep the little guy occupied during what he would think is a really long reception!

If your ringbearer is a little older, his interests and hobbies could be a good guide to determining ringbearer gifts. If he is a baseball fan, there are great personally engraved keepsakes like baseballs or even baseball bats. If he is a football kind of kid, great ringbearer gifts include a special edition football or a jersey with his favorite player’s number on it.

Maybe he is a video game nut. Great ringbearer gifts include a portable Gameboy, game software for his computer or a gift certificate to his favorite video game store. For an adrenaline rush, amusement park tickets or water park admissions make for some awesome ringbearer gifts. For those outdoor types of boys who like camping and fishing, compasses make for ringbearer gifts as do fishing poles and backpacks.

Some ringbearer gifts speak to the child in all of us. Remote controlled cars, motorcycles or even airplanes would thrill your ringbearer. Just make sure you don’t charge those batteries ahead of time or else you will have him racing it throughout the reception! Of course, he is going to want to be just like the big guys, so maybe ringbearer gifts of a personalized drinking mug or tankard would work. Of course, whatever you choose would be the kid’s version of what the adult groomsmen may have received.

No matter what ringbearer gifts you decide upon, just remember that he is still just a kid. So look to the child still living inside your own heart and think about what you would have been thrilled to get at his age. That will help you in your quest of great ideas for ringbearer gifts.

Dave Poon is the owner of Engraved Gift Creations. We take the headache out of selecting gifts for your wedding party, whether they are Groomsmen or Bridesmaids. Come and see our selection of groomsmen gifts and bridesmaid gifts at Engraved Gift Creations.

Introducing Card-Playing: Gambling House Taking a Chance

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Assuming you haven’t got the picture on betting hall games of luck, do please read on…

Generally speaking a gambling saloon is a house that offers gaming. Aficionados will have fun by operating the one-armed-bandits or trying out some other games of chance. Betting hall games usually include numerically determined probabilities constituting them that make sure the management keeps hold of the upper hand versus the clients.

A large number betting room games can make you end up far too infatuated quickly. By way of illustration take the standard one-armed bandit, a coin operated machine with 3 plus cogs which revolve if a bar on the side is manipulated. The instrument more often than not pays up based on a range of glyphs observable on the information screen of the appliance. Regrettably, betting hall games tend to convey the mirage of supremacy, effectively tricking the gaming aficionado — the addressee is granted choices, but in actual fact these cannot realistically match the client’s long-term odds. This is brought about by the the casino not paying the full sum as expected. This systematic policy is again and again found in popular casino games like five-card stud poker, dice games, roulette or blackjack.

Seven card stud poker is indisputably an incredibly trendy casino pastime. The betting devotees, holding fully covered hands, will bet into a principal pot which is then given to the winning gamer controlling the highest set of cards. (Of course, the bluffing hand can easily win)

best online gambling

Like five card stud, blackjack is also an incredibly popular casino game. A considerable chunk of its renown is thanks to its particular mix of luck and talent and choice making, and a praxis dubbed “counting”. It is a highly complicated mode of playing gaming tactics through which gaming aficionados may dramatically change the odds of the card game for their own good by both wagering and procedural opetations in correlation to the hands shown.

“Craps” is yet another famous casino pastime making use of the throw of a couple of dice. Patrons are betting on the result of 1 spin, or on a sequence of cycles on 2 dice. Quite unlike blackjack, there can’t be a feasible long term killer system you could play on to improve the chances.

Roulette is another celebrated casino gambling pastime. A croupier turns a roulette wheel that accommodates a set of 37 (European roulette) or precisely thirtyeight (as applicable to American roulette) differently tagged compartments in which a rolling pellet will finally come to lie, thus defining the winning number and the other chances that will come with it. Assuming that the player wagers on a single number which makes it meaning she is enjoying a lucky hand, the promised dividend is thirty five to 1, the bet proper will be paid back. Consequently in total it’s multiplied by a factor of thirty six.
