SEO Mistake Like First-Time Golfers

When you start getting into Search Engine Optimization (SEO), a website marketing strategy designed to increase your visibility in search engines, youll learn that one of the best things that you can do is to put good key words into your content.

Because it is easy to do, however, you can easily do it wrong.

You may start jamming keywords into your pages wherever you can, thinking the more the merrier. You want higher rankings, but what happens is the opposite your rankings get worse.

Its like watching a first-time golfer at a driving range.

He wants to hit that ball like the pros smack it hundreds of yards. He winds up and gives it all hes got. But because of sloppy form, he misses the ball or shanks it to the left or right.

He went gusto on the ball and made a mess.

Just the same, if you go gusto on your web pages - stuffing in too many keywords in a sloppy way, you will create a mess.

The mess is two-fold.

First, putting too many keywords in your web pages can hurt your search engine rankings it can actually make them go down.

Search engines know that in well-written web pages, a keyword phrase can occur only so often, generally five percent of the pages content.

Search engines also know that any one web page usually covers a specific topic, so it can only realistically contain a few related keywords.

For example, if you create a web page on how to swing a golf club for beginners, it might contain some phrases like golf swing, golf swing instruction, golf tips.

Imagine the same page had information about golf putting, getting out of sand traps, golf etiquette, the difference between clubs, teeing off, using wood, using irons, etc.

That would be way too much information on the page an overload.

The second problem is that a page overloaded with keywords will scare away visitors.

Youve probably seen this before - a website that is so loaded with keywords that it looks like someone spilled the dictionary on it.

Using our same scenario, imagine that you were learning to swing your golf club for the first time. You did a search on golf swing tips and hey, you saw a listing entitled Golf Tips How to Swing Like a Pro.

When you clicked to the page, you started reading this:
Golf swing tips Use these golf swing tips to help you swing your golf club like the pros. Begin your golf swing by placing your left hand on the golf club. Then, as shown in golf swing diagram 1, place your right hand over the golf club. This will stabilize your golf grip a good golf swing tip for beginning golfers.

Yikes! You cant read that without going insane!

Dont jeopardize the readability of your pages in pursuit of high search engine rankings.

Here are some tips to help you in the swing of writing good keyword rich pages that search engines like:

* Use three to five keyword phrases on any one page. Do this for pages that have a decent amount of content, like articles and service descriptions.

* Put your keywords in your page headings, subheadings and bulleted points.

* Write a page summary at the top of the page which has important keywords in it.

* Replace generic terms with your specific keywords, but dont over do it.

As an example of the last point, if you had a sentence like:

Classes begin at 1pm every day including Saturdays and Sundays.

You could write:

Golf lessons begin at 1 PM every day including Saturday and Sunday.

This gets the phrase golf lessons into the page which is more likely to be searched on than classes or even golf classes.

In conclusion, use finesse and good form when put-ting keywords into your web pages. Your readers will read more of your content and search engines will give you higher rankings.

The Christ, Ratu Adil & Satria Piningit--Revealed?! Part 5

Below are extracts from the literature of the Summit Lighthouse concerning the incarnation of Satria Piningit as the Comte de Saint Germain :

"Upon his ascension from the Rakoczy Mansion in 1684, Ascended Master Saint Germain entered the Great Silence (nirvana) where his beloved twin flame Portia, the Goddess of Justice--whose name he had inscribed in The Merchant of Venice--had long been waiting his return. Not long thereafter, the beloved Sanctus Germanus was given the dispensation by the Lords of Karma to function in the world of form as an ascended being having the appearance of an unascended being.

"The archives of France contain evidence that English, Dutch, and Prussian statesmen of his (St.Germain's) time regarded the Count as an authority in many fields. He was hated by some while loved and held in awe by others. As one of his friends said, 'He was, perhaps, one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived . . . His heart was concerned only with the happiness of others.' The master alchemist (St.Germain) spoke French, German, English, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian so fluently that he was accepted as a native wherever he went. According to a contemporary account, 'the learned and the oriental scholars have proved the knowledge of the Count St.Germain. The former found him more apt in the languages of Homer and Virgil than themselves; with the latter he spoke Sanskrit, Chinese, and Arabic in such a manner as to show them that he had made some lengthy stay in Asia.' (Compare this to local ideas that the Knight wanders often as an austerity--"Lelono broto") The Comtede Saint Germain composed, improvised, accompanied on piano without music 'not only every song but also the most difficult concerti, played on various instruments,' and played the violin 'like an orchestra.' His compositions remain today in the British Museum and the library of the castle of Raudnitz in Bohemia. He painted in oils with colours of gemlike brilliance, a 'secret' which he himself discovered. It is said that from 1737 to 1742, Saint Germain was at the Court of the Shah in Persia, there exhibiting his extraordinary knowledge of precipitating and perfecting precious stones, particularly diamonds. According to the memoirs of Madame du Hausset, Saint Germain once removed a flaw from a large diamond, which belonged to King Louis XV.

In his alchemical laboratory at the Royal Chateau at Chambord, Saint Germain was attended by a group of learned and noble students. The Count is described by Graf Cobenzl in a letter dated 1763: 'Possessing great wealth, he lives in the greatest simplicity; he knows everything, and shows an uprightness, a goodness of soul, worthy of admiration. Among a number of his accomplishments, he made, under my own eyes, some experiments, of which the most important were the transmutation of iron into a metal as beautiful as gold.' The Comte de Saint Germain thoroughly understood the use of herbs and plants and discovered medicines and elixirs to prolong life and maintain health. Many of his demonstrations of mastery are described in the diaries of Mme.d'Adhemar, who knew him for at least half a century. She records Saint Germain's visits to herself and to the courts of Louis XV and Louis XVI, noting in his glowing face the appearance of a man in his early forties throughout the period. She mentions a personal conversation with the Count in 1789 in which he appeared 'with the same countenance as in 1760.' In the same conversation he predicted the Revolution of 1789, the fall of the House of Bourbon, and the course of modern French history . . ."

We believe that this paper offers enough vital information to scholars and mystics to assist in correlating the information found herein with the information to be found in Javanese literature concerning Ratu Adil and Satria Piningit, or to the impressions that they have received psychically. It is of our opinion that what we have revealed here will be further substantiated through their efforts. We must also caution our readers that some individuals might commercialize the knowledge that we have revealed here for their own egoistic purposes, perhaps claiming themselves to be a representative of Satria Piningit. Please do not be fooled by this. The real knight is silent on such matters.

Messages from St. Germain

The following are messages from St. Germain, the Knight Commander, or Satria Piningit--they are extracts from the Pearls of Wisdom, published by the Summit Lighthouse:

"I am come to find my freedom fighters, those who stand for freedom and do not budge from that stance when freedoms are compromised . . . See to it that you are not the victims of tyrants, that you do not shy away from their confrontations, that you do not become cowards and say, 'Well, what of it? I can do without this or that privilege or freedom or right.'

"Well, beloved ones, you cannot do without your rights. For freedom is the very core of the victory. It is the very core of life. It is the very core of the soul rising in the flame of liberation . . . let us consider championing the right of the individual to know the unadulterated truth of the Path and the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.

"I say, beloved, speak gently and tenderly and lovingly with an open heart, a loving heart, a compassionate heart--the heart of kindness that is the signet of Lord Maitreya--and speak on those subjects in which you find agreement with another. But come to the place where you are also willing to take a stand as freedom fighters, even as the wondrous saints have gone forth to fight the battles of this century and many past centuries and have laid down their lives for the honor, the freedom and the defense of their nations and their causes.

"We have won this victory (of freedom) in the United States. We must maintain that victory. And we must win it and maintain it in all nations, for freedom of religion and every one of the four sacred freedoms must be guarded.

"Blessed hearts, this is an hour to champion the cause of non-discrimination in politics and religion in America and in every nation upon earth. For there are tyrants in every nation; and where governments have not guaranteed the sacred freedoms, these tyrants have gotten away with torturing and imprisoning their own citizens for challenging them and their regimes.

"Freedom fighters all, I say to you: Fight for your own wisdom! Fight for your own education! Fight for your own desire to champion the millions and not only the few . . . Mine is the urgent message that absolute God-freedom must cover the globe, beloved.

"This is the calling, beloved. It is the calling to affirm the right of every soul to practice the religion of his choice 'with malice toward none, with charity for all.' In this spirit, affirm to those you contact, 'You have a right to believe what you believe.' And if it is known that some do not believe as you do and you feel prompted by the Holy Spirit to show them another way, the Ascended Masters' way, then do it gently. Suggest but do not compel. Teach by example and always with compassion.

"We are opening the door of the Aquarian Age! And we desire to open that door to a golden age!

"Let us accomplish our tasks. Let us slay the dragons! Let us go forth in boldness. If we must give all of our life-essence to champion the cause of freedom of a single person or of the millions, then we must be willing to do it . . . we will say, 'I will not stand still before this injustice!' (Spoken like a true knight).

"When you say that, my beloved Portia (the Goddess of Justice, Ratu Adil) will come to you and champion you. Blessed hearts, if you would be worthy of Portia, if you would have her as your living Guru, do not allow a single injustice to pass that you do not challenge; for then you will have her as your mighty supporter. And her support is ultimate, beloved.

"Do not slacken your pace, for I am moving across the earth in all the nations of the world . . . And I come to scourge the earth! And I come to drive out those who are not of the Truth, those who are not speakers of the Truth, but out of their mouths come 'unclean spirits like frogs.' And many of those who speak not the Truth occupy the top leadership positions of their nations.

"We are determined, beloved. You must have greater determination than you have ever had. It is God who reaches out to man. You must reach out to God with equal and greater fervor, for you have the greater need.

" . . . I stand as the Hierarch of the Age of Aquarius and my burdens are great in the earth and for the earth, I take on few chelas (disciples) directly, on a one-on-one basis.

"You can raise yourself up. That is a truth. You can do it in God. You can transcend mortality as I did. You can taste your immortality even while in the flesh. But you must work at it. You must focus on it. You must get out of the grave of buried problems. You must get out of the self-made grave of your dark vision of self and others . . . See Christ. Know his glory."

How to Become a Knight

After reading thus far, the question might arise: "How may I work on behalf of the Spiritual Hierarchy, the World-Teachers, Lord Maitreya, Ratu Adil and Satria Piningit? And how may I earn my spiritual knighthood?" Working for spiritual forces entails aligning oneself with the Light and all that is Good. Intense preparation is necessary. One has to purify one's being, physically, emotionally, and mentally of all dross and toxins--all subconscious patterns of hate, malice, avarice, envy, intolerance, selfishness and other negative qualities; one has to master the false ego. One has to discipline one's passions, appetites, and desires, and express the higher spiritual aspect of Self. One has to acquire a spiritual consciousness through constant meditation and awareness of one's true identity, and by doing so build a bridge of communication between oneself and superior intelligences in order to receive their directions, inspirations, and counsel.

One has to be able to attune himself with his Higher Self, with his Master, with his spiritual group, with the Lord of his Ray, with the Spiritual Hierarchy, and with Shamballa and other focus points on earth of Cosmic beings. The level of one's intelligence has to be raised, and the frequency of one's holistic being accelerated. There is a saying that many are called but few are chosen. Those that are chosen are actually the individuals that choose themselves to be chosen. We have mentioned this principle before. The "chosen" volunteer selflessly for the work.

It is a vital matter to realize that nobility is not a matter of flesh and blood. We do not inherit nobility from our forefathers. Nobility is a quality that the soul has to unfold within itself. We are noble not by being born in any caste, but by simply becoming or being one's True Self.

To earn one's knighthood one has to learn the meaning of self-sacrifice, service and selflessness. The spiritual qualities that characterizes a knight one has to embody--qualities such as loyalty, harmlessness, devotion, honesty, courage, sincerity, purity, goodwill, inclusiveness, serenity, gratitude, contentment, creativity, etc. One must possess the degree of purity with which Sir Galahad embodied, and echo his words by saying: "My strength is the strength of ten because I am pure."

Endurance, humility, patience, and moral strength are also virtues that should adorn and protect every knight. All of the virtues are the knight's strength and power--the knight's weapons of offence and defense, however, underlying all of these virtues lies the knight's greatest power: Love. Without embodying Divine Love a knight is lifeless and worthless.

True spiritual knights do not care for rewards, and often prefer to work silently in the background. They never attract attention to themselves and do not care for the opinions of men. They are not attached to the world, and they seldom complain. They are psychologically centered and are the same whether rich or poor, in pain or in health--they always maintain a joyful, calm mien. Simplicity and sweetness characterizes knights of the Light. Knights are noble and express beauty in their behavior, speech, movement, gait, and thoughts. Knights are likewise sensitive to beauty in all of its forms. They are well-attuned with Nature and often differ from the ordinary person when it comes to understanding life. This particular trait makes others perceive them as quaint, strange or even irrational. Spiritual knights all have the qualities of Satria Piningit on a lesser scale; however, they still tower far above the average person in spiritual dignity.

Aside from developing a chivalric nature, it is necessary for the knight-in-becoming to study the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, the teachings of the Masters, the Cosmic laws of the universe, and follow a path of spiritual training. The sacred scriptures of both East and West, like the Bhagavad Gita, for instance, are training manuals for the Aquarian knights.

Though a knight may possess power, he is to learn to wield it with wisdom, intelligence and love. He serves all those that require his services should the need be in accord with Cosmic law, and he ever seeks to improve his skills and abilities. He is always obedient to the still, small, voice within. It goes without saying that knights must have a growing sense of responsibility.

By training and disciplining one's threefold instrument--the physical body, the emotions, and the mind--by exercising one's will, one gradually grows aware of a higher presence living in one's heart. This is the birth of the spirit of the Christ, the inner warrior, priest, healer, teacher, and king in one's consciousness. This Christ-Consciousness will have to be nourished through selfless work. In the course of time one's threefold-flame burning in the heart will grow so beautifully and one's aura will shine so brightly that it will attract the attention of spirit beings everywhere, and they will recognize, honor, and tremble in one's presence. They will know one as a light-bearer, a keeper of the flame, a knight of the light, a son or daughter of God.

How and where does a knight work? A knight works for truth, freedom, and justice no matter in what social field or human endeavor he (or she) may find himself, no matter in what office or position. The spiritual knight no longer fights with a physical sword. He fights with a fiery tongue, and with a pen whose ink never runs dry. He knows the truth of the saying that "the pen is mightier than the sword." When he speaks all are silent. His words are few, but they carry the weight of the Cosmos. His words remain etched in the minds of his listeners forever. The knight never compels, but suggests and appeals. He is not a man of words, but a man of action. He is more of an exemplar than a preacher. Seldom will a knight justify his actions or defend himself in any way, though he will fight till death on behalf of others. Like the rest of the world, Indonesia has produced many beautiful knights, both men and women, who fought on behalf of Truth, Justice and Freedom.

The knight is forever in search of the Holy Grail, the philosopher's stone, or Cintamani--the precious jewel of Shamballa. Cintamani is the love jewel, the doctrine of the heart, or compassion, and is related to the heart-chakra. It is this divine quality that the knight seeks to unfold within his being. The true knight knows that selfishness and self-centeredness--the ways of Atlantis is over--that the Piscean way of life of greed and ill-will should no longer be sustained.

The following points are important for the would-be knight to consider:

Recognition of the Divine Presence living in oneself and in others.

Vigilance in guarding the senses from recording unworthy impressions.

Obedience to cosmic laws and evolutionary principles.

Recognition of the rights of others.

Developing a protective attitude on behalf of Truth.

A closer approach, attunement and obedience to one's Higher Self.

A self-sacrificial attitude.

Being an example to others.

Doing one's dharma (responsibility and duty).

Developing the joy of cooperation.

Encouraging others to align themselves with all that is good and true.

Understanding the past and present in the correct perspective.

The qualities that we have referred to above are rarely found in a single individual. For this reason true knights of the Spirit are rare. Knights are not easily known and recognized; and it is not an easy matter to meet one of them unless our motives are pure or karmic law decrees it. Knights tread the path leading towards human perfection. Islam calls this state, "Insan Kamil," while yogis refer to it as Sthitaprajna. Theosophy calls it "Masterhood." In some ancient traditions, warrior-priests who are on the path are referred to as "Titans" and they make "war" against the false gods.

As we can see from the above, training oneself to be a knight is not an easy matter, but is a worthwhile task. The Knight Commander, or Satria Piningit will only overshadow with his electronic presence those who are spiritually prepared and are aligned to the ideals that he represents. The world needs warriors of the spirit who recognizes the enemy--they are not of flesh and blood. They are forces, powers, and principalities that cause humanity to go astray. Our fight is for freedom and justice--freedom from ignorance, and justice for all. Let us, therefore, commence our work without delay, for the battle and war of Armageddon has already begun in the mental and emotional planes. I hear Satria Piningit shout with a loud voice:

"My knights are vigilant and keen on battle. Observe your energy; watch your thoughts, speech and action. Never let negativity into your hearts and be imprinted into your subconscious mind. Remember, the great war is within you."

We should manifest a better planet and civilization for our children and grandchildren. It is ignorance to declare that it makes no difference to us what the future would be, that even if it degenerates that it does not affect us personally, for we would be long gone, living somewhere else in one of God's many mansions. Understand this--we would eventually reincarnate as our grandchildren! Thus the very sort of world that we leave to our progeny is the very type of world that we will inherit when we return to continue our soul-evolution through the means of reincarnation. Therefore, be concern, and attempt to play an important role in society to assist its spiritual transformation, for what you give is also that which you will receive. Do not sit in the back-seat in complacency, just watching others struggling for your rights, freedom and continued existence. There is no more time for twiddling thumbs. Get up and save the world and yourself through direct involvement in world affairs or through your financial and moral support. Below we quote again the Lama from "Shamballa: Oasis of Light":

"The people of earth must understand that the time of crucifixion and gentle prophets preaching to raving crowds is ended. This time the Arhats (Saints) will speak with lightning, thunder and star showers!"

Finally, below we offer a fiat composed by St. Germain and extracted from the literature of the Summit Lighthouse. It is hoped that every disciple of freedom would recite this aloud daily to program his or her subconscious mind the determination to be spiritually free.

Brief Boat and Boating History

Boats can generally be defined as watercraft that float on, and provide transport over water. Boats such as the whaleboats were historically designed to be operated from a ship in an offshore environment. The Navy defines a boat as a craft small enough to be carried aboard another vessel such as a ship. Boats may have government, marine research, or other commercial usage, but any vessel, regardless of size, used privately or in a non-commercial status is almost certainly referred to as a boat.

The beginning notion of boats and boating happened when people first used bamboo rafts and hollowed-out logs to travel across a lake or down a stream. Since then boats have been a major part of life.

Although wooden boats are widely used today, some of the first modern boats were made of synthetic material such as fiberglass and other man-made or hewn materials. Although, there are numerous uses for boats today, most are used for pleasurable purposes.

The word boat refers to a vessel that is buoyant, stable and easily moves across water by some physical or mechanical mean. Contrastingly, a ship is considered a large, ocean-going vessel usually propelled by sails or engines.

The word boat comes from the German word, bot, which originally referred to the goods or items delivered. Later this became the definition for the craft used to make the delivery. Thus we get the term boat.

There are many different watercraft that go by the name boat. There are dozens of different names for boats around the world. Here are a few types that might fall under the general category of pleasure or recreation boats.

* Dinghy

These craft are usually 10 feet long or less, light and portable. They are generally used close to shore, in small harbor areas or on lakes.

* Johnboat

These smaller boats are used for many purposes, such as fishing, hunting and coastal exploring. Most boats of this type are propelled by a small outboard motor.

* Day Boats

This is a recreation boat for use on small lakes or for sailing close to the shoreline of the ocean. They are generally less than 20 feet in length.

* Fishing Boats

This category can include bass boats, general purpose pleasure boats, trawler-style boats, sport fishing boats, combination fishing and ski boats.

* Catamarans

This type of sailboat has two parallel hulls. It can be made of logs or floats lashed together and are capable of traversing long distances for pleasure boating and racing.

* Houseboats

These homes on the water boats are designed specifically for living on the water. They provide all home amenities and are more elaborate than pontoon boats or deck boats.

* Flatboats

A flatboat is a boat with a flat bottom and square ends used for transporting freight on inland waterways. Many are also adapted and used for sports such as fishing and hunting.

Wall Sconces Are Unique And An Elegant Addition To Your Home Dcor

A wall sconce is a type of lighting fixture that uses a wall for support, and directs light upwards. It does not have a base on the ground, but is instead attached to a wall. Wall sconces can either contain an electric lighting fixture, or contain stands for candles of all shapes and sizes. They are typically used in hallways or corridors to provide light to areas that may need it, but also add a decorative touch to any home.

Even though a wall sconce must be installed, they are very simple to add to any room. They are mounted to almost any wall, and sometimes may require minimal electrical work. Wall sconces that use candles only require mounting, which is a much simpler way to add a beautiful accent anywhere in your home.

Wall sconces work great for those who do not have much space, since you dont need a table or floor space to place them. They fit directly on the wall almost anywhere in a home, but can still provide enough light for areas that need it. Wall sconces come in a variety of different styles and sizes, which makes it very easy to find one that will fit almost any dcor. Wall sconces work great for either indoor or outdoor use, and can be installed in a number of different ways.

Wall sconces are great for those who are redecorating their home, but can also be placed even when not redecorating. They are much less expensive that buying wall lamps, and can be much easier to install. Wall sconces take up only a small amount of room, making it possible to hang up pictures and other decorations along with your lighting fixtures.

Wall sconces can be installed in a number of different rooms, including hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms, and even kitchens. You can use a wall sconce to set a certain mood in a room, no matter what mood you are looking for. You can keep your bathroom feeling peaceful with a wall sconce, or even bring some excitement to your bedroom. Because you can use either candles or light fixtures, you can find something that will work in almost any room in your home.

Because wall sconces can direct light in a number of different ways, it is easy to get enough light just by attaching one to your wall. They can be used to provide enough light to a dark hallway, or you may just want to add a little decorative touch to your boring wash room. No matter what you are looking for to improve in your home, wall sconces are the way to go. You will find wall sconces in a number of different colors, styles, and sizes, which makes it easy for almost anyone to find a wall sconce that will fit in with their personal dcor.

The Age of Blu-Ray

Do you remember how awesome it was when you upgraded from you old VHS tapes to DVDs? The picture was way clearer and the sound was amazing, right? Well another technology shift of even greater proportions is on the horizon in the home entertainment industry.

A standard DVD or DVD-R disc has about 4.7 GB of storage, but the new Blu-Ray discs have over 25 GB of storage on a single-layer disc and 50 GB on a dual-layer disc! And all that extra space, over 10 times more than a regular DVD, does not go to waste. Movies in Blu-Ray format will have crystal clear, life-like High Definition picture and superb digital sound. This unprecedented high quality combined with a 1080p High-Definition TV will be like nothing you have ever seen before. Are you salivating yet?

The only thing that will stop you from running to your nearest Circuit City, Best Buy or Sony Style to pick up a Blu-Ray player and a couple movies to go with it (and if youre really ambitious, you can buy a Blu-Ray disc burner too) is the large and almost unwieldy price tag.

Today, a stand-alone Blu-Ray player will cost you around $1000, with each movie at about $50, meaning it would take a sizable chunk out of that portion of your bank account you allocate towards home entertainment. Now if you have a phone number annual salary that wont be a problem, but what about for the rest of us?

Well, just as with any new and emerging technology, the price will be very high at the outset, meaning that mostly techies and people who dont mind dishing out a few thousand bucks will buy it. But with time (maybe even in time for the 2006 holiday season), the price will drop until it becomes affordable. And for those of you who absolutely can not wait to get one of these awesome pieces of technology in your living room, you will be glad to hear that the new Sony Playstation 3 coming in November 2006 will come equipped with a Blu-Ray player. This next-gen console will cost around $600, a bargain for just the Blu-ray player.

The Playstation 3 will be the most powerful gaming machine ever released in terms of raw computing power. It features a new technology called a Cell chip, which works like 9 CPU microchips in one. This allows for blazing speeds and spectacular graphics, especially when it comes to running lots of programs simultaneously.

So, how do you obtain this tantalizing cinematic machine without overdrawing your checking account? My advice is to wait until the holiday season. The mainstream will have caught wind of the new Blu-Ray technology and it will become a holiday must-have. The price will inevitably be lower, and it will be your choice whether you want to go with a stand-alone player or a PS3.

If you wish to find out more about Blu-Ray players and what movies are available, check out http://blu-ray-site.com for more information. This is a technology that will awe and inspire, and it will forever change the home theater experience.

Lookers Gains Merc

Lookers has acquired 10 sites from HR Owen in a move that will see the dealer group now represent the Mercedes-Benz franchise.

The consideration payable in cash will be 5m goodwill and 8.1m of fixed assets. Once the value of stock is taken into consideration, however, the value of the deal could rise to between 18m-25m.

The acquisition is expected to add around 175m to Lookers annual turnover and enhance profits in the first full year of ownership.

It represents the Manchester-based dealer groups first purchase since the drawn-out battle with rival Pendragon for Reg Vardy at the beginning of the year.

Lookers chief executive Ken Surgenor told Motor Trader the deal was representative of the groups strategy to expand its range of premium brands.

So far this year Lookers has boosted the number of Land Rover sites it operates by three as well as adding two Volvo and Jaguar dealerships in a multi-million pound deal with HR Owen at the start of the year.

Our stated strategy has been to strengthen the mix of premium brands that Lookers operates. The market is going the way of the premium brands. You can see both BMW and Mercedes strengthening their market share and our strategy is in response to those market trends, he said.

Surgenor said that the group had been keen to add Mercedes-Benz to its portfolio and did not rule out adding to the newly acquired franchise but said that was dependent on the manufacturer and the sites that became available in the future.

Were delighted to be approved by Mercedes. Its a brand weve wanted to represent for some time, Surgenor added. The deal covers four Mercedes sites in Redhill, Gatwick, Eastbourne and Brighton, with the latter also selling Smart; two ChryslerJeep outlets in Hatfield and Romford; two Lexus sites in Hatfield and Brighton; and Land Rover sites in Acton and South Kensington.

Lookers is a car dealership chain in the United Kingdom with over 90 dealerships turning over in excess of 1bn annually. http://www.lookers.co.uk/.Idette Blog12843

Live A Debt Free Life

At the present time, in which financial collapse is so common, we present some ways to transform your debt problems into solutions. In the United States, consumer debt has reached the highest levels because in the past 10 years credit debt has doubled itself.

According to the Federal Reserve Board, consumer debt reached $1.98 trillion in October 2003, while in 2000; the debt reached only $1.5 trillion. Because unsecured credit delinquencies are always high, American citizens spend in banks interest rates more than $65 billion dollars a year.

The total US credit card debt in 2002 was $60 billion; the average consumer debt was $8562; debt increased from 82 million in 1990 to 144 million in 2003.

Thanks to the different option consumers have, being a debt free person is now a lot easier.

The following programs have been extremely successful in repairing consumers credit history.

Debt Consolidation: In 2004, thousands of consumers beneficiated thru debt consolidation programs. A Debt consolidation program consolidates your whole loan in a single amount and withdraws your late fees. To deepen this info visit: (www.bill-consolidation-and-debt-negotiation.com)

Bankruptcy: The Administrative Office of US Courts showed that bankruptcy fillings diminished by 1% during 2003. Still bankruptcy fillings remain high as ever, showing historic increases, chapter 7 and chapter 13. (www.personal-bankruptcy-avoidance.com)

Debt settlement is a program in which a third party consultant makes a negotiation with your creditors to decrease your debt. That is, debt settlement agencies negotiate with creditors to minimize your debts from as much as 50 % to 75%. For instance, lets suppose you have accumulated $20,000 in credit card debts; you owe $10000 to a credit card company, another $6000 to any other credit company, and last but not least, you owe $4000 more to a third company. You settle your debt with a 5 year plan, paying only $250 a month to the Debt Settlement Company; you end up paying a total of $15000. In the end, this tactic not only saved you $5000, but also helped you in becoming a debt free person in just five years. (ww.curadebt.com/)

Debt Management Programs: Last year, 3 million people or more got in contact with a credit counseling company to obtain help with debt issues. Credit counselors collected $7 billion last year with debt management plans; these plans bring about an opportunity to customers to settle their debts in 4 to 5 years with low interest rates. Clients that successfully finished the program felt that the these types of payment plans were extremely beneficial; nearly 85% felt that paying the debt was had a positive outcome and 55% felt that subscribing to a debt management plan stopped collectors calls.

Statistics demonstrate that 38% of this selected population has agreed that the plan cleared their credit history, and that 51% felt it enhanced their financial situations.

Credit counseling: Credit counseling companies help you get out of debt, but they dont consolidate your debt; they negotiate a payment plan with low interest rates and over the limit fees for your debts. Settlement companies are an intermediate between the consumers and the creditors in which both the parties end up maximizing their gains and minimizing the losses. Almost 9 million, people consult credit counseling agencies each year.

Budgeting: This subject matter is exceptionally important in the process of a debt solution plan. Recent statistics show that a household allocates 33% of total income in housing, 13% in food, 5% in apparel 19% transportation, 5% in health care, 5% in entertainment, 9% personal insurance and pensions, 1% in life insurance and 10% for others.

Liposuction - What You Should Know

If you're thinking that liposuction is a great way to lose weight, forget about it. Liposuction isn't about weight loss at all. It's all about sculpturing and contouring the body to remove excess fat deposits that aren't willing to go away with diet and exercise no matter how hard you try. It's about looking good in that swimsuit AFTER you've lost all the weight that you're going to lose.

Women love liposuction, but men dabble in it too. Women tend to have it done on their abdomen, thighs, knees, hips, chin or neck while men usually treat their neck, chest, abdomen, and "love handles."

In all but a very few isolated instances liposuction is strictly cosmetic which means your insurance company won't be footing the bill for your new belly or butt. Your insurance company MAY get involved, however, if your treatment is prescribed for certain medical conditions including enlarged male breasts in men and certain fat deposits, such as "buffalo hump" which is caused by a hormone imbalance.

Liposuction is a procedure whereby fatty tissue is literally sucked from under the skin using a hollow wand which is attached to a suction device. Local anesthetics and other compounds including saline, and epinephrine are administered to control swelling and bleeding.

Once the patient is prepared the doctor inserts the wand, called a "cannula" through small incisions which are made in the skin. They push and pull the wand through the fatty cells causing them to break up and to be suctioned off along with other body fluids. That's about as complicated as liposuction gets from the actual procedural point of view.

There are several different types of liposuction procedures in use. Each procedure is based upon the amount of fluid which is (or isn't) injected during the procedure. "Dry Liposuction" uses no fluid and is rapidly falling from favor. Next is "wet" where the doctor injects six to eight ounces of ephinephrine, and "superwet" which uses the most fluid. Basically, the more fluid that is injected during the procedure, the less blood that is lost.

While the liposuction procedure is relatively safe when performed by a Cosmetic or Plastic Surgeon, it is not without its risks and side effects up to, and including, death in very rare instances (about 20 out of 100,000). Infections have been reported in some cases as well as "seroma" which is a pooling or oozing of body fluid.

Swelling, bruising and locally painful areas are almost a guaranteed side effect of liposuction and you can expect to lose a week or more from work during recovery. In almost all instances the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and you'll be home the same day.

An unexpected side effect of liposuction is that the fat can return and, often times, it returns to a different area from where it was removed. This is believed to be caused by drops in leptin levels. Leptin is a hormone that is made in fat. When the levels drop it signals the body to take in more food so that it can increase its fat levels to what it "thinks" is normal. This condition is most likely to occur in people who were overweight to begin with yet still sought liposuction as a hopeful "cure".

Any doctor can perform liposuction with as little as 30 minutes "training" on the equipment. However, since there is so much at stake, and the health risks are real, you should only consider treatment by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon who has additional specialized training in liposuction.

Differences Between Canadian And American Football

American and Canadian football both descended from rugby and began in Canada as a game played between British soldiers garrisoned in Montreal. The soldiers played a series of games against students at McGill University. McGill played several games against Harvard in 1874 and a tradition was born. Despite their mutual origins, the Canadian and the American game developed differently and now have substantially different rules and regulations.

The biggest difference between Canadian and American football is the size of the playing field. In Canada, football fields are 110 yards long and 65 yards wide. In America football fields are 100 yards long and 53 and 1/3 yards wide. The goal posts in Canadian football are placed at the front, rather than the back of the end zone which is also deeper in Canadian football than American.

Canadian football teams have twelve players as opposed to the eleven on American teams. Because the same number of players is required at the line of scrimmage in both games, this results in an extra backfield player on Canadian teams. This means that the typical Canadian offensive setup has two slot backs instead of a tight end and on defense, two defensive halfbacks and one safety instead of two safeties as is typical in the American game.

Another difference between the two games is the number of downs. Instead of four as in the American game, Canadian football has three. This results in a more pass and kick oriented game since there are fewer downs available for short-yardage running plays. The kicking rules are also slightly different with the kicker being able to recover and advance his own kick. For this reason, kicking is a much more integral part of Canadian football than American.

The biggest difference between the kicking rules in the two games is that there is no fair catch rule in Canadian football. In American football, if a kick returner thinks he will not be able to advance the ball after recovery, he can signal for a fair catch and be immune from contact. In Canadian football no player on the kicking team except the kicker and any players behind him on the field may ever be within 5 yards of the ball unless it has been touched by an opponent. Also, in Canadian football any kick that goes into the end zone is a live ball, except for successful field goals.

There are other minor differences as well including scoring, motion and time rules but they are not as significant as the major differences noted here.

Buying Gifts Online for Your Recipients Helps You Save Time and Money

Today, the hectic time table that everyone has makes it rather difficult for each and everyone to make a visit personally to a shop, and walk down aisles of clothes, toys, jewelry or tools, to choose on the perfect gift to buy. It sometimes seems to be a complete waste of quality time that could have been utilized somewhere else. And it is this kind of people and anyone else in general, who prefers online shopping than real time shopping.

Buying gifts for near and dear ones through the internet saves a lot of time for the buyer. There is no need of actually visiting the store to buy gifts. Everything can be done while sitting in the comfort of the home. All one has to do is to type the name, or the kind of gift that they need to buy, and enter that name or phrase in a search engine. Immediately you will be shown lists of numerous online stores that sell all these products.

You then visit a few online stores to decide on the best gift, and best price for your near and dear one. And once you choose the gift, you can pay through e-banking like merchant accounts and their shopping carts. You will have to furnish some information as to the address for the gift to be shipped and perhaps some contact information. And once the payment is cleared, you will find the gift shipped to the recipient, on your expected date of arrival.

There are all types of gifts available on the internet; let it be jewelry, electrical items, clothing, chocolates, flowers, in fact, the item that you name is very much likely to turn up in any of the many search engine searches. Besides saving on your time, you also save money as you dont have to travel to the shopping center or store, spend money on fuel or use public transport. Everything can be done from a single computer and table in your home or office.

There is no need of you getting ready to go shopping. If desired, you can also shop while in your pajamas or nightdress! No one will know, or even bother to know. You not only save in time with online shopping by not having to visit the shopping center, you also save time by not having to go on looking for the item that you need in the shopping center. You just have to type the specific item in a search engine, and you will be provided with numerous items and gifts that suit the description or name that you provide.

So the next time you need to buy gifts for someone, consider online shopping as the better alternative, where you can save both in time and money while coming up with an exquisite gift for the special people of your life.

Can a Personal Bankruptcy Prevent You From Getting a Job?

Personal bankruptcy? Kiss your dream job good bye...

For quite some time, it's been standard for financial, gaming and government employees to have their credit reports checked by their employers. After all, we don't want criminals working in the government (insert your favorite joke here).

But now, the "Credit Police" are infiltrating other industries as well.

And what really irks me is, they don't have the guts to just come out and say "We don't want people with bad credit working for us."

No, instead they're using September 11th (911) and an increase in workplace violence as an excuse to check our credit reports. That's pretty low.

Recently, pre-employment screening agencies have noticed a surge in requests for full background checks, which can investigate credit reports as well as criminal records, driving records, and employment and education history.

Alert Staffing reports that about 50 to 70 percent of all companies currently review credit reports, which not only reveal bankruptcies but also liens, judgments, and loan and credit card payment history.

Many companies simply believe that trustworthiness and creditworthiness go hand in hand. Personally, I think that's a crock! I know lots of rich people with high credit scores, who I wouldn't trust to watch Sparky, my pet goldfish, not to mention my money. On the other hand, I can list hundreds of people who've filed bankruptcy and have poor credit scores, who I'd trust my life with. However, most business owners believe how we handle things in our personal lives is a sign of how we would manage a company's assets.

Employers want to know whether a potential employee will be a security risk, subject to bribery, and willing to give unauthorized individuals access to company information. In fact, a friend of mine who used to work at one of the national credit reporting agencies tells me they were always investigating their employees, because of the fear employees might take money to change credit reports. He tells me it was common to see people escorted out of the building by security after they were busted.

The bottom line is that some employers believe that bad credit shows little responsibility and little regard for secrets. But, believe it or not, there's some good news in all this. First of all, the bankruptcy code (even after the recent changes to the law) prohibits employers from discriminating against applicants solely because of the bankruptcy. Also, job applicants and employees up for promotion are not obligated to tell a potential or current employer about their bankruptcy.

So, what should you do when you apply for a new job after you've filed bankruptcy? I usually recommend two strategies: For jobs where you know your credit will be reviewed, be upfront and honest about your bankruptcy, and the circumstances that caused it. Honesty is a powerful tool for getting what you want after bankruptcy.If you're applying for a job that you aren't sure whether or not they will review your credit, make them love you first...then during the second or third interview explain what happened. Let's call this strategy "delayed candor." :-) We all know that bankruptcies aren't always caused by financial irresponsibility. Don't underestimate your potential employer's ability to understand your situation.

In such a credit-conscious climate, one of your best weapons is to know your rights. While employers can legally terminate or deny a job or promotion to those with bad credit, Section 525 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code prohibits discrimination based solely on bankruptcy.

Furthermore, Sections 604, 606, and 615 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act require employers to follow a very specific set of rules in order to review your credit reports.

First, they must notify you in writing that your credit may be used in the job evaluation and obtain your written authorization before pulling your credit reports. But remember, sometimes they'll "notify" you in the fine print! In other words, they'll "tell" you without really "telling" youif you know what I mean. So make sure you always read the fine print on all those forms the human resources person hands you during the interview.

Second, if your employer or potential employer sees something on your credit reports that may cause them to not hire you or fire you, they must send you a "pre-adverse action disclosure." (That sounds worse than a subpoenadoesn't it?) But the pre-adverse action disclosure is actually your friend. It gives you time and an opportunity to fix incorrect information on your credit reports. However, the burden is on you to act fast.

If an employer fires you because of information on your credit reports, they must provide you with an "adverse action notice." The notice should contain contact information for the credit reporting agency supplying the report. It should also specify that you have the right to dispute the accuracy or completeness of any information the reporting agency furnished and request an additional free report within 60 days.

OK, how do you prove if you were discriminated against because of a bankruptcy on your credit reports?

Well, it ain't easy!

The chances for successful legal recourse are better if the only negative item on your credit report is bankruptcy. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to prove you have been discriminated against because of your bankruptcy and not your bad credit.

The truth is, if an employer doesn't want to hire you because of the bankruptcy on your credit reports, then it's pretty easy for them to claim they didn't hire you for another reason. But if an employer offers you the job and then rescinds it, and the background check shows all high marks except the bankruptcy, your chances of mounting a successful case increase. Bottom line: If the ONLY negative item on your credit reports is a bankruptcy, you have a better chance of getting the job than you do if you have lots of other negative items on your credit reports.

This is why it's so important to make sure you get copies of all three of your credit reports. Review them carefully and if there are any inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, unverifiable, or outdated items on your reports, get them taken off. I suggest you use an attorney who specializes in credit law. It costs a few dollarsbut I think the end results are worth it. The law firm I used was a life saver.

10 Easy Tips to Help You Profit From Your Website

Hundreds of thousands of webmasters across the world make money online with their websites. Why not you? Here are 10 easy tips that you can use on your website to make it profitable. As with any good website however, you first need quality original content!

1. Google AdSense - Make money selling advertising space. While banner ads are not worth your time for the most part, Google AdSense is. Many web site owners make a comfortable living off of AdSense profit alone.

2. Affiliate Marketing - Make money referring your website traffic to other websites. Dont have a product? That is 100% O.K. Just add someone else product to your site by joining an affiliate program and forget about it. If you have related content (free information) you will see a slow trickle of income from your affiliate links.

3. Write an eBook - Sell your own idea or product. I know it sounds like a day dream, but people do this all the time. In fact, it is the most common method that people use to make money. Write an eBook, offer consultations, or make something people will use. In this category, you are only limited by your imagination.

4. Create an online directory - Sell text links. Add a directory area to your site and offer to place links to other web sites for a small fee.

5. Become a Paid Blogger. Offer to blog for companies. Blogging is fast becoming an important link building strategy for online companies. There are hundreds of small businesses that could benefit from a professional blog but, do not have the resources to hire a full time employee. You have a website, put it to use!

6. Open your own eBay store. Buy low, sell high. There is no easier place to sell than online with your own eBay store. You can concentrate on a particular type of product like coins and antiques or you can sell a wide variety.

7. Host an online competition. Offer prizes for the first, second and third place winners. Your competition can be on almost anything. Think of a way to offer a competition, create a small entry fee and you are set!

8. Create a member only area. You can create a members only site about anything from Fan Clubs, Online Newsletters, Courses and Training, Stock Trading Tips, Dating Sites, Personal Advice, Horoscopes, Family Trees, and so on. Again, your only limitation is your imagination. If you have a site already up and running, offer something in your paid members area that they cannot easily get for free.

9. Begin a paid advice service. Free information is great and will draw readers to your site. Once there, help the reader out with some basic information. Save the real meat for those that are willing to pay a small fee.

10. Sell your site. Why drag on a project for years when you can get in, get out and turn a quick (albeit smaller) profit? Create your site, get it listed in the search engines, make sure you get a few dollars a week in online advertising and sell your site for a few thousand dollars.

Dressing your Room with Window Blinds

When you think of window blinds, do you picture some white heavy wooden things that hung in the windows of your Grandmother's house? Window blinds today can be a decorative accent to any room, no matter whether it is a country, traditional or contemporary style. They can be more than just a means to add privacy to your home and keep out excess heat and sun. Today's marketplace offers a large choice of materials, colors and styles of window blinds that can match any room.

Window blinds come in a variety of price ranges as well. You can find ready-made blinds at your local home store, discount store or specialty shop. While you are restricted to only popular sizes at a discount store, a home store will cut blinds to the size you actually need. A specialty store can make or order blinds in custom sizes to fit your needs. One of the advantages of shopping at a specialty store is that installation is available. However, if you are an ardent do-it-yourself person, installing blinds can be done by an amateur.

Selecting a style of blinds that fit your budget, style and room can be fun. You can select from one of many categories:

* Wood blinds fit a classic and natural style. Real wood requires more attention than faux. Faux wood is either composite or PVC. The operating mechanism can be cord. But many families prefer the safer lift technology that requires a soft touch. Wood blinds are generally 2" slats. The wider the slat the less light that can come through. Color and wood tones should compliment your room rather than jump out at you. Many people opt to use a valance or cornice to add needed layers.

* Vertical blinds can make a room feel taller and mysterious. On a sliding door or living room window, these blinds don't have to remind you of the 80s with big flowery patterns and cold surroundings. The pull mechanism can be from either side or even operate from a remote control. Careful not to mix patterns that will be outdated in a short time. Many vertical blinds add a soft texture that brings out your furniture's beauty.

* Aluminum blinds are typically trendy and inexpensive. Most are mini blinds that spruce up a kid's closet window or look great in a play room. However, they tend to bend or dent easily. So try to pick a place where kids aren't hanging on them a lot.

* Top or bottom hanging blinds are interesting ways to let light shine into your room. Blinds don't have to operate just from the bottom up. You can select a blind that slides from the top down with the light touch of your hand. If you want more options than just tilting slats upward or down, you can select a blind that pushes down and leaves the bottom half shut for added privacy.

For more information about how to select a blind for your room, call your local Eddie Z or visit http://adblinds.com

Dolby vs DTS: Which is Better?

Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround Sound - Identifying the main differences between these multi-channel sound formats

This Dolby vs DTS surround sound is a rather hotly debated issue. Many audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts argue that DTS surround sound formats can deliver higher quality audio in comparison to their corresponding Dolby formats, with improved dynamic range, better representation of subtle detail in audio content, and improved signal-to-noise ratio.

Partly, this reasoning arises because DTS surround sound is usually encoded at a higher data rate than Dolby Digital and its lineup of associated formats.

This is more than understandable. We are dealing with lossy compression techniques. A higher bit-rate for the same format should normally implies superior sound during playback, as less compression in the encoding process should result in a better representation of the original sound source.

In this Dolby vs DTS debate, DTS people argue that they are after 'sonic perfection, not space consumption' - hence the higher bit rate and lower compression.

Dolby would counteract that their codec is more efficient and therefore, it can run at a lower bit rate.

In other words, one cannot simply draw conclusion on sound quality based on raw bit rates and compression figures alone; it also depends on how well designed are the encoding and decoding algorithms. And this makes sense too, but then...

There are relatively big differences in raw bit rates and compression levels when comparing Dolby vs DTS sound formats, implying a too wide a difference in codec efficiency - about 3 times as much - in favor of Dolby. Is it possible that Dolby sound formats achieve this level of codec efficiency?

The truth is that when dealing with different sound formats, the whole equation starts to get extremely complicated; it is not that easy to define what makes better sound.

This Dolby vs DTS is a much debated issue, but in reality is it true that one is better than the other?

To understand why this Dolby vs DTS surround sound controversy, it is necessary to have an understanding of the main differences between these formats. In particular, there are significant differences in bit-rate and compression levels as applicable to Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround. There are also important differences in the way these formats are implemented in movie house applications and in home entertainment.

It is not the scope of this write-up to go into these details; for the relevant information on the differences between Dolby and DTS, please read the full article appearing on Practical Home Theater Guide at http://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/dolby-vs-dts.html.

At the same time, it is important to realize that these same differences between these two formats have actually given rise to this Dolby vs DTS controversy.

So where does this Dolby vs DTS debate leads?

Sound quality is an extremely subjective issue and therefore it is not easy to define what constitutes better sound. Opinions vary when comparing Dolby vs DTS and range from 'DTS is better' to 'Dolby Digital and DTS Surround Sound are pretty much the same'.

..and what do we say about this Dolby vs DTS debate?

Both Dolby Digital and DTS Surround are capable of achieving similar results in delivering surround sound, even though the lower compression and higher bit-rate of DTS Digital Surround should theoretically yield apparent benefits in sound quality.

At the same time, one cannot ignore the fact that these two formats make use of different coding schemes and syntax to perceptually compress audio.

This means that efficiency in terms of data utilization between these two formats is different. Therefore, direct comparison of the respective Dolby and DTS sound formats based solely on their raw bit rates, cannot be taken as an objective measure of sound quality.

Thus, while it is objectively possible to compare the resultant sound quality for the same audio format encoded at different bit rates, say in a movie house application and in home entertainment, yet it is not so straightforward when dealing with different formats.

Rather, for identically sourced audio content, it would be much easier for the listener during Dolby vs DTS 'blind' listening tests to notice a change in sound quality when changing the playback equipment between different brands, than when changing from Dolby to DTS.

In other words, you need a thoroughly refined audio playback setup to bring out that subtle difference in sound quality between these two formats.

Seychelles What To Know Before You Go

The Seychelles are truly paradise, with extraordinary beaches on almost every island, and they are virtually deserted. The forests are beautifully lush and green, and the underwater sights are amazing with more fish than you could ever dream of, whilst the colors of the sea will leave you spellbound. Another wonderful and man made sight is the lack of high rise hotels, as buildings have to be lower than the palm trees.

In addition if you want to see Green and Hawksbill turtles, then at certain times of the year you can do just that. So if it is nature trails and hiking that fascinates you, then Silhouette Island with no roads, and lots of trails would be perfect for you, especially because the thick vegetation means lots of wildlife.

If fishing, especially fly fishing is your thing, then get yourself to the bonefish flats near Alphonse, where you will catch literally dozens of fish. Add to this the historic and famous coco de mer on Praslin at the Vallee de Mai, and the millions of sooty terns on Bird, and you can see this is a paradise for nature lovers.

On the other hand, if you love beaches, then some of the best beaches in the world are to be found in the Seychelles, and for me its a toss up between Anse Lazio on Praslin, Bird Island beach which goes all the way round and is almost deserted, and Anse Victorin on Fregate, which probably wins the vote due to the exclusivity of Fregate, and the white sand, turquoise sea, and the fact it is cut off by rocky headlands on either side. These are just three, and you will realize it is difficult to set them apart when you have been there.

Whilst I personally dont dive,but I do snorkel, I am reliably informed that the diving at Alphonse is just the best, but Desroches has the coral, and La Digue has the colourful fish, but to be truthful from the moment I walked into the water at Anse Lazio on Praslin and was immediately surrounded in knee deep water by hundreds of brightly coloured fish, Ive never failed to be astounded by the snorkeling everywhere in the Seychelles.

Where you stay in the Seychelles is very dependent on your budget, and probably the greatest luxury is to be found at the resort on Fregate, home of the best beach too!! Here you stay in a villa with views to die for with your own Jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, it is pure pampered luxury, but it is not the only island with only one resort. Alphonse, Bird, Desroches, and Silhouette are all like this, if you want crowds go to Mahe!!

Praslin, and La Digue are a half way house with affordable hotels, and not many people.

People often ask about the food in the Seychelles, and what its like. It is a real fusion of flavours, best described as Creole. It features lots of coriander, chillies, ginger, lemongrass, pepper, and fresh herbs, blended into curries. Fish is in profusion, and seafood, particularly look out for Tuna, red snapper, kingfish, parrotfish, or octopus served raw and thinly sliced.
It's great just book and go!!

Active Adult Retirement Communities: Ten Things to Know

Most articles about active adult retirement communities state this important fact: Baby boomers have turned 60. Some will choose to sell their homes for a variety of reasons: financial, to downsize, to be closer to children. As homebuilders are building more retirement communities and discovering what features boomers want making them more appealing, more boomers are considering retirement at active adult retirement communities.

Here are ten things you should know when you begin your research into active adult retirement communities:

1) Choose an Area: First thing decide where you would like to live by region, state and then city. A variety of websites now cover this subject thoroughly and are very helpful. My website also gives descriptions of the areas if you are wondering what it would be like to live in California, for instance. Find the communities listed under that area or city. The type of community we are talking about here will be categorized as Active Adult and sometimes Independent Living. Make a list of the active adult communities you want to consider further. There are many types of active-adult communities so notice what kind it is. For instance, some communities only have rental apartments. There are some that are manufactured homes only or RV. Some have assisted living available. The most common type is the outright purchase plus homeowners fee.

2) Make a list of your wants and needs: Is a golfcourse necessary? What are your hobbies and can you pursue them there. What other activities are there that you may wish to try in the future. Do you want a resort-type active adult community. Is having a college nearby important or your favorite medical facilities. How about scenery. Is a view important to you. Make a list putting your highest priorities first.

3) Decide on your budget: Do you wish to purchase or rent. What is the homeowner's fee and what does it cover. Are there any other fees. Make a list of your total expenses. What is the policy regarding raising fees. Are there other active adult community plans that you find more desirable than outright purchase. There are many types of financial plans, however, the most typical is purchase plus a fee. My fee covers property tax and insurance, utilities, basic cable TV, security services, Clubhouse, and amenities such as fitness center and tennis. My tai chi class is an additional small fee. Usually there is an extra fee for golf and outdoor pool. For the greatest security, make sure you can cover your monthly expenses for the rest of your life.

4) Make appointments to Visit: A good plan is to contact the community or homebuilder and let them know you are interested. I find the retirement community will then send a generous packet of information. Sometimes they may have a visitor's program offering a tour of the property and sometimes an overnight stay at reasonable rates. Visiting gives you more detailed information.

5) During your visit, be observant: Notice if the seniors appear happy and active and sometimes greeting you. Ask them if they like living there. Notice if the landscaping is well kept and beautiful. What amenities are offered. Where do you put out your trash and do your laundry. Seriously, both of these are conveniently right outside my door. My trash shute makes my life a lot easier. The building is cleaned every week. Sometimes, of course, you will have your own machines in your home. Make sure the floorplan makes your life easier. Are there any unique health programs for seniors such as restaurants serving a menu that is lower in fat, salt and sugar. Get the newspaper or activities calendar and ask if there are resales, check out the local real estate office. They can also give you an objective opinion on the community.

6) Is there transportation for residents? Is there a shuttle bus? This is wonderful if you take the one car to work and your spouse stays home all day. You may not want the expense of two cars anymore or any car at all. You don't want to be stuck in your home and no way to get around. How far is the shopping center. Can you walk?

7) Where are the grocery store and major shopping: Is there a shopping center located nearby and where is the major shopping mall. Ours is conveniently next to the community and we can walk if we want to.

8) Emergency Services and Hospitals: Fortunately, most active adult communities are located near these facilities since adult community homebuilders know it is important. However, some that are in more remote areas may not be near enough and you may have to weigh this in your decision.

9) Security Services: What does this consist of? Is it an electronic gate only, a 24-hour manned gate, or manned gate and patrol. The manned gate plus 24-hour patrol is best. Our security service also handles just about anything that may come up that we need assistance with or are concerned about. It is wonderful and gives so much peace of mind.

10) Now choose which communities you like best: Once you are in a community, you will only then know how important having all these conveniences will be to you. Get the names of persons you came in contact with for any questions you may have later. Narrow your list down to only one or two. Get more details on the community and maybe try to rent there first to try it out. Retirement communities usually have short-term rentals available. You may wish to do a follow-up visit.

Choosing which adult community you will reside in will be easier than you think. The people you come in contact with at retirement communities are very gracious and helpful. Soon you will enjoy the new sense of freedom and pleasure that only a great active adult retirement community can offer.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

WHAT IS SLS?

Rapid Prototyping refers to the creation of quick representations of final products from an initial idea and taking it through successive iterations until the final form is developed without tooling or molds. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is one of the most popular Rapid Prototyping mechanisms in which a laser beam selectively fuses or sinters powder materials, nylon, elastomer etc. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) can provide your manufacturing business with a leading edge by producing rapid plastic or metal prototypes that closely match their molded counterparts.

SLA vs SLS

The primary advantage of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) over Stereolithography is that it builds prototypes in nylon material. It is possible to make structurally functional parts such as living hinges, functioning springs, snap fit components with nylon material using Selective Laser Sintering. The process in itself is very simple and there is no molds or tooling involved. The nylon material used in SLS can be easily machined, drilled and tapped unlike those used in SLA, which are brittle as they are built with liquid photopolymers and cured with UV light. They continue to cure once complete and as a result become more brittle as time goes on.

Since being patented by Dr. Carl Deckard in 1989, the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology has become one of the most popularly utilized processes for rapid prototyping and product development in manufacturing industries. Selective Laser Sintering has become a very reliable and trusted form of rapid prototyping due to its structural properties. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is particularly useful when the design is complex, customized, needs to be functional or requires short run production.

PROCESS

In the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process, 3D parts are created when an infrared laser beam sinters and fuses powdered materials. The final object is created by repeatedly fusing thin layers using the laser beam. This process also known as additive manufacturing producing parts that gradually increase in size until they reach the prescribed size. These prototypes are created directly from the STL file obtained from 3D CAD models.

The most beneficial characteristic of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is how durable and functional the materials are. These materials include versions of the original DuraForm and DuraForm glass-filled (GF), which are nylon-based materials that create highly durable and functional plastic prototypes. Other Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) materials available are Flex Plastic for elastomeric, rubber-like parts, and LaserForm, which makes metal prototypes.

ADVANTAGES

Research and development has been progressing to bring newer selective laser sintering (SLS) materials to the market. These materials are such that they require no post processing steps whatsoever after building and this offers a distinct advantage over stereolithography (SLA). This however does not mean that these materials cannot be processed. All of the selective laser sintering (SLS) materials can be finished in multiple ways. They can be painted, plated, drilled, tapped, or even machined. This allows for a higher grade of appearance to these parts thus giving users an unlimited potential to use them.

Teaching English To Non-English Speakers

Teaching the English language to a non english speaking person can be exciting and interesting. If this is of interest to you, consider traveling to other countries to teach.

It is generally preferred for the English teacher to be a native English speaker.

Here are some common terms you should familiarize yourself with:

Before you excitedly answer any employment ads you should learn the meaning of commonly used terms as well as recommendations for working locally or abroad.

TEFL: Teaching English Foreign Language; often refers to teaching English in a foreign country. Known to students as EFL classes.

TESL: Teaching English as a Second Language; usually refers to teaching English to foreigners in an English speaking country. Known to students as ESL classes.

Would you prefer to teach locally or abroad?

For people who wish to travel TEFL can be a great opportunity to interact with new cultures and to finance traveling. It is important to investigate the country you will be traveling to as well as the employer offering the position to ensure you will be safe and have reliable work. You may decide to work with an agency based in your home country that will assist you with legal questions and assist you in making living arrangements.

While many foreign positions are available to individuals without experience or certification you will likely find the education and resources of a class to be valuable before taking an assignment. If you think you would like to try this career out you might offer your services locally, as a private tutor, or take an instruction class to familiarize yourself with the responsibilities and work required to teach a language.

If you choose to work in your own country there will be various guidelines for certification, experience and materials as determined by the employers. If you consider private tutoring you can research recommended course materials and methods online or at a book store or library. You can then advertise your services in a local paper or on college and university billboards.

Teaching English can be very rewarding. However, English is a language that is full of rule breaking nuances. Trying to explain these to a student can be difficult and a person needs to have patience and good personal skills to become an effective teacher.

Do your research to be sure you are interested in the opportunities that there are. Teaching English to non-English speakers really is rewarding and profitable. And, you may get the chance to travel as a bonus!

Remember When We Could Cruise and Drag

As I was listening to our oldies station, they were talking about the big June event in Modesto, with all the old cars, music groups, car shows and cruisin down the main drag. For those of you who dont know Modesto is where the inspiration for American Graffiti came from and that movie brings back memories for all of us who love cars.

Between hearing the info on that event and reading about drag and bracket racing, made me think back to my high school days, I know amazing at my age that I can actually still remember them!

While no one ever condoned street racing we all know it took place. Even more than street racing, I can remember spending all day Saturday, washing, waxing, polishing and cleaning the inside of the car so it was in tip shop shape Saturday night to cruise with.

For so many of us back then there were places to go and show off our cars. We had streets to cruise on and show off our cars. And yes, we also had those places where we drag raced them.

But we also had tracks you could go to and drag race on. I can remember, Central Islips and National Speedway to name a couple. Todays car lovers dont really have that luxury. Maybe some areas of the country do, but here in California for the most part it is gone. Not the tracks, but the ability for the average Joe to use them for fun. The police here have curfews and dont want any kind of cruising activity to take place. Drags have been outlawed on the roads, as well they should. However, the raceways (the ones that are left), wont even accommodate those who wish to drag race. They are strictly for those with the big bucks and the big buck drag racing cars.

What a shame, as I know of many kids who would love to have an outlet or place to go to show off their car and their skills as drivers. Like so much else today, it is just another bastion we have lost. Very sad to those of us who grew up in an era when all of this and much more was available.

So for those of us who have the memories of what it used to be like, be sure to share those with the youth around you today and let them live vicariously through you.

We would love to hear your stories, drop us an email so we can put yours up on the site today.

Selecting a CMS Vendor

With so many mid-tier content management system vendors vying for market share, it's important to look for unique selling points (USPs) and specialist expertise that fits your requirements.

When a market sector becomes awash with choice, it can be hard to differentiate between the USPs of your shortlist of vendors. This is currently the case with the mid-tier content management system (CMS) marketplace, where products range from web CMS solutions to enterprise CMS offerings.

Web CMS solutions are built to drive websites - incorporating features for capacity planning, site design and layout, content development, production, content delivery, session tracking, and site evolution. The core focus of these products is to empower business users, webmasters and website developers to create and manage their website content.

But today's web CMSs are rapidly evolving to embrace enterprise content management systems (ECMs). These provide the strategic "glue" for enterprise content, helping to integrate multiple back-end processes and data stores, with multiple customer-facing applications. Meanwhile, the front-end customer-facing applications could include e-commerce, sales automation, customer relationship management, supply chain management, or an employee portal, for example.

With many mid-tier CMS solutions jockeying for position in the marketplace today, what should information professionals look for when choosing a system?

At a technical level it comes down to products being industry standard, easy to integrate into a heterogeneous IT environment, and scalable - independent of delivery requirements and without incurring major incremental costs. They should also be able to deliver content to end-users in a variety of ways, and be capable of supporting multi-lingual websites.

The ability to customise the solution to meet specific business needs is also key, as is ease of use and efficiency, in terms of content reuse across multiple channels. Content reuse capabilities are essential to enable organisations to improve knowledge worker productivity and avoid creating content chaos. Products should also offer the right balance in terms of rich, out-of-the-box functionality, rapid implementation and easy ongoing administration by IT.

Information professionals should also look for CMS vendors that offer good content collaboration tools. These are invaluable since they improve knowledge sharing and teamwork, including project collaboration capabilities using facilities such as discussion forums, bulletin boards, team calendars, to-do lists and file-sharing.

These features and strategies will guarantee a flexible, extensible CMS development platform that can grow with the business.

But the system has to be affordable too, which is when you need to consider total cost of ownership. In terms of ROI, look for an affordable services contract tied to short implementation timeframes. That's why we've been enjoying our use of a new and many-featured content management system called Traffic King Pro. More info here: http://www.traffickingproducts.com.

Obviously, CMS vendors should be financially sound, with a track record in the appropriate sector. But they should also be culturally sensitive - an offshore vendor is fine provided its solution has been appropriately adapted to cater for the European market, and it can offer good, local support.

Information professionals should also look for a vendor of a similar size to their own organisation, so as to maintain their influence on issues such as support. Of course, this is not always necessary, or even possible - witness the option of buying Microsoft's Content Management Server. Microsoft's CMS may not fit all needs, despite being the brand of the moment, while the vendor dwarfs most users.

Joe Bella loves creating websites, both static and blog. He's favorite tool for both: http://www.traffickingproducts.com.Gayle Blog1154

Checking Computer Security

Many people wonder whether or not their computer is secure. They fear that someone might be looking through their files, copying, altering, or erasing them. They are uneasy about the thought that someone might be monitoring their every move in cyberspace. These concerns come to mind when reminded of the problem of hackers, viruses, and other security risks that abound in the Internet. Fortunately its easy to prevent these problems by following a few simple tips.

Update

Perhaps the most important step for computer security is to keep it updated. Install the latest critical updates and service packs from Microsoft's download center. This is made easy by configuring the system to utilize Automatic Updates, if available. If not, updates can be downloaded directly from Microsoft's download center. Currently, Service Pack 2 (SP2) is the most current Service Pack for Windows XP.

Firewall

The easiest way to increase the security level of a computer is by using a firewall. Firewalls monitor all activity that occurs on a connection between one or more computers. They act as a wall with one or more computers on one side, and one or more computers (usually the Internet) on the other. Information transfer by suspicious programs are immediately cut off, preventing them from entering the protected side of the firewall. This way denying access to anything coming from unauthorized and unknown sources prevents possible infection by viruses, worms, and other malicious codes.

Anti-Virus and Anti Spy-ware

Even if a computer is protected by a firewall it is still necessary to use anti-virus and anti spy-ware. This is because a firewall only prevents unauthorized outside access, and cannot distinguish between malicious and benign access. It is still possible to inadvertently make a request for information that is harmful, which the firewall views as an authorized transfer. Anti-virus and anti spy-ware provides another layer of armor for a computer, making it harder for hackers and their malicious programs to penetrate and control a computer. Some well-known anti-virus programs include Norton, Trend Micro PC-cillin, and McAffee. Anti spy-ware programs are also important as they reduce the chances of spy-ware getting into a computer. Spy-ware behaves differently than viruses, making it necessary to use different programs to catch it. Spy-ware can monitor any activity a computer infected with it performs, or even act as a gateway to download additional spy-ware or viruses. Hackers typically use spy-ware to obtain important information that must remain confidential like credit card numbers, social security numbers, and police records.

Protect Home Networks

It is possible for a computer owner to be unaware they are using a network at home. If more than one computer shares the same Internet connection or if wireless Internet access is being used, a home network is present. Securing a single computer is not much use if it is part of a network. The whole network must be protected as well to prevent malicious software from simply hopping from computer to computer to avoid attack. Different kinds of home networks face different kinds of risks. In the case of a wireless connection, anyone within the broadcast range of the network may be able to look at any data contained within the network.

Most networking devices employ their own security mechanisms. Using this in combination with security defenses installed on each computer's should provide enough protection to thwart attempts from hackers to hi-jack the network and use the computers connected to it. Most routers function as Network Address Translators (NAT) which makes them a safe connection to the Internet.

While no measure can guarantee total immunity from attack, these steps should increase the security of a computer or network enough to protect against any typical attack.
