Weightloss Surgery

May 31st, 2008

Weightloss surgery is regularly a decent preference for those who want to lose a large amount of weight. Lots of individuals who have this type of weightloss surgery have made an effort numerous times to take advantage of diet, exercise and medications to get rid of the weight and have failed. Weightloss surgery is a life changing practice and frequently results in a substantial volume of weight loss. While there are lots of benefits of this surgery, there are risks involved, as well.

If you are thinking about any kind of weightloss surgery, it is important that you know and understand the risks of the surgery. There are both short term ramifications and this surgery can additionally bring about some long-term effects. Right after surgery, patients will notice some amount of discomfort. This is due to the-place-of-the-incision. With a laparoscopic operation, the incisions are smaller and the healing and soreness in the area is less than with an open-procedure. For patients that have an open-procedure, such as in a gastric bypass, there will generally be additional tenderness while the incision heals. During the first few weeks, patients will only be able to bear a liquid diet. Anything other than liquids can aggravate the system and create nausea, vomiting and bowel disorders. In the weeks that follow more food can be added to the diet, but if too much or the wrong types of food are added, it can also cause undesirable side effects. When the stomach and incision has completely healed, these side effects usually subside.

Also patients experiencing certain sorts of weightloss surgery are more predisposed to developing a condition termed “dumping.” This is when food is passed very quickly from the stomach to the large intestines. As a result the patient will experience nausea, abdominal cramping, sweating, dizziness and diarrhea. Just about all gastric bypass patients cite this condition, but those who have the lap band operation rarely report this as a side effect.

Other more severe side effects of this surgery can include stomach ulcers, acid reflux, heartburn, bloating from gas, constipation, difficulty swallowing, nausea and vomiting, dehydration and in serious cases, death. With the lap band operation, the band can deflate causing leakage or the band can slip. In other instances, the band can erode into the stomach necessitating an additional surgery or the stomach pouch can become enlarged. Sometimes weightloss surgery can in addition cause obstruction of the stomach, which can be caused by food, swelling, improper band placement and stomach twisting. There are other side effects from this type of operation that a GP can talk over with each patient.

Things I Learned from Corey Rudl

May 30th, 2008

On Wednesday, the first day of June, I received the following email from Corey;

Dear Leeuna,

Once I’m finished typing this e-mail, I’m crawling off to bed to sleep… I’m exhausted. (It’s about 4:30 a.m. and while I don’t normally drink coffee, I’m sucking back my third cup since midnight, and it’s not helping anymore…)

Last week was CRAZY.

He went on to say that he had just publically released, for the first time ever.. the newest edition of his famous Internet wealth-generating system… and had invited 250 people to help him prove to the world that it really works.

Apparently 250 wasn’t nearly enough to meet the demand because his office had been absolutely SLAMMED with e-mails and phone calls — more than they could keep up with.

So rather than make me wait for them to catch up, … If I could get back to him that day, he would just ship me his new system via Federal Express, completely at his own risk….

The following morning at 10:40, Corey was pronounced dead at California Speedway in Fontana! Dead at age 34 along with his friend, Benjamin Miles Keaton who lost control of the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT they were racing..

Now I know that he probably automated his email messages, just the way all the successful business people do, and perhaps he may not have written the email himself. However that isn’t the point. The point is that Corey Rudl kept in contact with his public on a level that made them feel as though each one was his close personal friend. He treated everyone as someone important. This was lesson number one.

Here was a man who really enjoyed helping others succeed. It came across in his teaching as well as through his business practices. He gave more than he asked for in return. While others were still charging thousands of dollars for their Seminars, Corey made it possible for the ‘not yet successful’ marketers to afford his training Seminars for a fraction of what they were really worth. Corey knew that in order to get something, you must give something in return. This was lesson number two.

Lessons number three through ten thousand were the basics of marketing and running a business.

The last lesson that Corey taught me was that life is short, money isn’t everything and the way in which you spend your life is often more important than how you spend your money.

Corey… you left behind a big pair of shoes for someone to fill. You will be missed…

Finding a Website Hosting Provider

May 30th, 2008

Finding a Website Hosting Provider can be a daunting task. There are many providers out there, offering many different services, at many different prices. So, where do you begin, and how do you narrow your choices down? Hopefully, this article will help to clarify some of your questions and get you and your website on line.

Type of Website

When looking for a website hosting provider you first must consider the type of website you want to have now and in the future. Is it going to be:

1. Informational

2. E-commerce — if you are going E-commerce route, you should make sure that the hosting provider will or can provide a hosting program that is e-commerce ready. Why? You can get up and moving a lot faster — and will eliminate additional research.

3. Are you looking to put up more than one site? You always must consider growth, and diversification on the Internet.

Now if you’re contemplating having both an informational and a e-commerce site, you must make sure that the hosting provider can fill your needs now and in the future, when you add the additional website to your building business.

Primary Technical Considerations

Some of the primary technical aspects that you should consider are:

1. Is the hosting site up 24/7 with little down time? You will need to do a little research in this area, because I know of no quicker way to lose a customer — than having a customer click on your site and finding that your website is unavailable.

2. Technical support — are they available 24/7?

3. How much Bandwidth (Traffic) does it allow?

4. How much storage does it offer?

5. How often does the hosting provider backup your files?

6. Does it offer programs that include growth for your online presence?

7. Does the hosting provider offer traffic statistics?

8. How many email addresses does the hosting provider provide you? You will need more than one.

9. If you are contemplating moving to another web host provider, does the new provider offer the expertise and/or the service to redirect your website to their servers?

10. What additional services do they provide for the price? Example: domain registration, renewal process for your website, preinstalled scripts — for blogs, Site Builder(to help you build your site for those that have no knowledge of html), maybe even content.

11. And what additional services do they have available, if you need to have them in the future?

As you can see by the questions that I have asked, there are many options to consider when choosing a website hosting provider. And the above questions should be asked, according to your needs.

How Do I Get Through The Maze

How do you get through the maze of providers? The smart thing to do is to create a list that prioritizes the items first by what you need, second, by what you want, third, by what you don’t want and finally, by the price range that you will be comfortable paying for the service. Take your time, and don’t be afraid to ask questions of the provider if you do not find the answer on their website.

Finally, remember that your website hosting provider is one major part of your website success. You need a provider that can keep your website online, and supply you with the service or services you need to move your business forward.

Garden Folklore: Plants Thrive in Good Company

May 29th, 2008

Farmers and gardeners of long -gone past
were aware of the importance of keeping some
form of order in their farming or gardening to
keep the plants healthy, repel insects and pests
with no other tool but the plants and how they
are grouped together. Plants that are not
“friendly” together are planted separately.

There were no supportive scientific data to
back up their findings. They conducted their
experiments, with their lands as the laboratory
using the trial and error method year after year.
This method of gardening helps to keep this
earth healthy, minimize if not eliminate the
use of chemicals for growth or pest and disease
control. It keeps the soil balanced.

Plants can be good companions to one another.
They provide pest and insect control to their
neighbors. It can be the scent, hormones and oils
coming from their roots, flowers or leaves that
help to discourage disease and harmful pests
without losing their beneficial assets.

Taller sun-loving plants provide shade for the shorter
plants that prefer the shade.

Some plants provide extra nutrients, such as
deep- rooted plants that bring out sulfur, potassium
and calcium to the surface, for the benefit of the
shallow-rooted ones to share.

Some plants act as fungicide, insect and pest
repellants. Some plants accumulate sulfur well
and this gives an odor that many pests avoid.

Flowers and leaves with strong scent are known
to repel flying insects.

Secretions from the roots inhibit weeds and kill
parasitic worms and nematodes.

Some gardeners provide a “trap” plant to absorb
the disease or attract harmful pests without causing
harm to itself

These plants can be used as borders, ground covers,

backdrops or interplant to keep the plants happy and
healthy and in good company.

Some good neighbors and partners

Marigolds top the list. The strong scent from
the flowers and foliage repel pests and the roots
inhibit nematodes. Plant with vegetables and
other flowering plants.

CAUTION: Marigolds are not friendly with
herbaceous plants. The root secretions can
inhibit the growth of the herbs. If you must
plant marigolds with herbs, don’t plant them
too close, keep them around the edges.

Foxglove ( Digitalis) have beautiful flowers
and it is known to stimulate the growth of plants
near it. It makes the neigboring plants disease
resistant. It improves the storage qualities of
fruits and vegetables and root vegetables.
probably due to gaseous secretions and minute
hormones.

Insect repellants :
Many flowers used as border plants repel flying
insects, such as: coreopsis, coriander, cosmos,
geranium, marigolds, chrysanthemum, marjoram,
oregano

Most vegetables are friendly to one another.

Peas and beans make good companions
for other plants because the roots fix the
nitrogen supply for the other plants,

Onions and garlic and other plants from the
alium family are beneficial to plants around
them. These plants are known as good fungicides
and insecticides. They accumulate sulfur
very efficiently and the odor they emit repels
many pest and other pesky four-legged critters.
Plant with cabbage, tomatoes, peas, corn.
Good for roses too.

Unfriendly neighbors:
Avoid planting these together for they are
unfriendly and definitely not good companions:

rue and basil
runner beans and potatoes
beets and beans
beans and onions or garlic
strawberries and cabbage
dill and carrots
cucumber and potato, no strong herbs
potato - no cucumber, pumpkin, raspberry, squash, sunflower, tomato

Fennel prefers to be by itself.

This is just a short list.

Herbs are good companions to most plants.
The strong scent repels most pests. Some
herbs are also known to bring out potassium,
sulfur and calcium to the soil surface for the
plants around it to benefit from. Chamomile is
especially favored for these qualities.

This can be a topic by itself for herb gardeners.

Tax Credit for Going Solar

May 29th, 2008

As we sit in the middle of winter, most people can’t believe how high their utility bills are. Going with solar energy can lower your bills and you get a hefty tax credit

Solar Tax Credit

Solar energy is a clean, renewable energy source. The production of solar energy on residential and commercial structures creates no pollutants and is starting to make serious financial sense. In 35 states, the concept of net metering is now an established fact. Net metering simply means you can sell energy from solar panel systems back to utilities, thus eliminating or seriously reducing utility bills. As oil and natural gas costs skyrocket, the Federal Government is doing even more to promote the use of solar energy.

In 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act. As part of the act, a tax credit was established for any person purchasing and installing residential solar energy systems for electric and water heating purposes. If you purchase and install solar systems for either of these purposes, you can take a 30 percent tax credit. If you install systems for both of these purposes you can double the tax credit. To avoid tax abuse, each tax credit has a cap of $2,000.

Importantly, tax credits are far more valuable than tax deductions. Tax deductions are taken from your gross income prior to figuring the amount of tax owed. Tax credits are a dollar for dollar reduction of the actual amount of tax you owe. For instance, if you prepare your tax returns and find you owe $5,000 to the IRS, a tax credit would be deducted from this $5,000 figure. In short, a tax credit gives you a lot more bang for your buck.

To claim the solar tax credit, there are a few restrictions and requirements. First, you can’t claim the tax credit if you use the solar system to heat a hot tub or pool. Second, the system must be certified by a solar rating certification corporation to establish that you, in fact, installed a working system. Third, the system must be activated between January 1, 2005 and the end of 2007. Finally, you cannot claim the credit if the government gave you a grant or financing to purchase the system, to wit, no double dipping.

When solar energy is discussed as a potential alternative energy source, most supporters point to the environmental benefits. Ultimately, the benefits to ones bank account will really make the difference and the solar tax credit is a solid step in that direction.

What Should You Know About Hiking Boots?

May 28th, 2008

What is essential equipment for you when going on a hiking?
Beside, your backpack, you also have to consider about your
footwear. You will be suffering when you are not using your
footwear properly. It seems all physical activity, especially
hiking need good footwear.

Physical Activity Need Good Boots

Ask your friends to hike with you! Hiking is one of the way to
know more about your friends and also a good way to make your
body and your spirit healthy. There are more you get though; but
all of that will fade away if you don’t wear good hiking boots.
Understand that all outdoor physical activity will be enjoyable
if you wear good boots. As people said, if you’re nice to your
feet, the rest of your body will feel good–especially during a
hike.

What ever your outdoor physical activity, either a light day
hike to a three-pack or four-day pack trip, your hiking boots
makes the difference. Hiking boots is one of the most important
pieces of gear when hiking. To keep your feet comfortable, you
must wear a boot that fit with your feet boot to avoid blister
and foot-injury.

Choosing Your Boots

How to find a good hiking boots for your feet to make you
comfortable. Well, here are some check lists you might want to
know about hiking boots:

- Decide what type of hiking boot you want to choose. You can
find two types of boots on the market, leather boots and
lightweight hiking boots. Leather boots are more expensive, but
they are tend to be more durable and last longer, and can be
waterproofed. Lightweight boots tend to be more breathable, more
comfortable, cheaper, and require a shorter break-in time. Even
though, most important for both types of boots should have good
ankle support.

- Don’t choose the hiking boots of your normal size. You have to
go up a 2 size with your normal shoe size. When you put on your
hiking boot, you should be able to put a finger between your
foot and the heel of the boot since your feet swell as they warm
up.

- If you want to try hiking boots, do it when you have warm
feet. Walk at least half mile before you try it on. That way
your foot will be more the size it will be when you are actually
hiking.

- Don’t forget to wear two hiking socks. It’s the best way to
prevent blisters and an uncomfortable foot while hiking. Two
pairs of socks will not only give you good padding, but will
also wick the moisture away from your foot as well.

- Once you have the shoe on, lace the boot up. Don’t lace it too
tightly, but just snugly. Walk around the store and see how they
feel. In particular, make sure that your heel can slide around
slightly. The boot should be comfortable but stiff.

- Your toes should not hit the front of the boot too much. To
simulate walking down a hill bang the toe of the boot on the
ground or against a wall. Your toe shouldn’t hit the front of
the boot too easily. If it does, either your boot is too small
or your laces aren’t snug enough. Your boots should feel a
little big.

interest. You are going to get more boots which you can compare.

Increase Web Site Traffic by Writing Your Own Ezine Article

May 28th, 2008

Plan to write an article every 2 weeks or so. You will see a dramatic increase in web site traffic each time you submit yourarticle.. all without spending a dime.
In my previous article (Part 1 - www.isitebuild.com/writearticles) we discussed the 7 ways to benefit from writing an ezine article.

Part 2 will cover the formula and format you can use to write your own article as well as provide valuable resources where to publish your articles for maximum exposure.

How to write your own ezine article

1. Research a topic you are very familiar with or have a passion about. This makes it easier to write and will show through in your writing.

2. Take out a sheet of notebook paper and create an outline of your article. Write down all the points you wish to include. Don’t worry yet about the order because you just want to let your mind flow in the beginning.

3. Write down a number of headings and sub headings that concisely describe your topic. You will probably edit these a number of times before you have finished your article.

4. Write a catchy introductory paragraph that will immediately get the readers attention. If you are writing a “how-to” article, you could first explain the problems people are having “how to do this task”. You then provide the solution to their problems.

5. Offer clear solutions in succeeding paragraphs. These should expand and support the heading, introduction and sub headings.

Write four or five sentences for each paragraph. Your sentences should be formatted to 60-65 characters per line. This ensures your article can be read by all types of email software.

Most ezine publishers prefer short articles under 500 words, others prefer longer copy under 1000 words.

6. Write your conclusion - this paragraph should give a brief summary of what you have just written, emphasizing the main benefits.

7. Include a 5-7 line resource box at the end of the article - give a brief description of who you are, what product or service you are selling, your web site and email address. See the resource box at the end of this article for an example.

8. Revise your article - read through it a number of times so you are sure all the ideas build upon one another, support and expand on your main topic.

Use your spell checker but don’t rely on it (i.e. it won’t pick up the difference between there and their). Use the dictionary for words you are not sure of.

After editing it a number of times, leave it for a few hours or sleep on it then edit it again (or have someone else read it). This gives you a fresh perspective and you will often refine it until it’s near perfect:-)

9. Submit your article to online publishers and article banks - this will potentially give your article exposure to thousands of people.

Dentists Scare the Hide Off of You?

May 27th, 2008

If the thought of visiting your dentist scares you rigid then you definitely must read on. You see if you think about it logically it is in your dentists best interest to make your dental experience as easy going and calming as possible. You see he knows only to well that if he gives you pain he will not gain. To put it bluntly the better your experience the more likely you are to make a return visit.

Do not for a minute think that your dentist is a money grabbing tyrant who’s main goal in life is to get his hands on your hard earned cash. Most dentists will be financially secure and very happy practising a career which is rewarding both financially and from the job satisfaction angle.

Ok so you might have memories of a nasty experience when you were a kid. Well get real, Memories from our childhood are often far removed from the actual reality of what really went on in the past. The terrible pain you thought you endured was more than likely a fraction of what your memory tells you.

The science of dentistry itself has advanced to such a degree that really there is no need for pain other than that given by the dreaded needle.. Well did you know that even that task can be carried out with the minimal of pain. Your modern caring dentist now has it in his power to numb your gums with the aid of a pain killing compress. A small amount of a pain killing drug is applied to a small cotton bud, This is then placed on your gums and the end result is you won’t even feel that dreaded needle.

It is ironic to think that the key to the least amount of dental pain is in fact to ensure that you take the time to make an appointment and visit your dentist at regular intervals. Most dentists pride themselves in their prevention and decay stopping techniques.

For those of you who do in fact have to visit your dentist for a long overdue appointment, Don’t worry,Don’t panic and simply make sure your dentist is totally aware that you are terrified out of your wits as he prods and examines your mouth. The thing is that it has been found that an amazing eighty percent of folk visiting the dentist are actually not bothered by this experience at all, Our dentists say that because of this they tend to get into such a routine that sometimes the thought of a person being scared has not even entered their mind.

If you are among the small percentage of folk who are indeed petrified of dental visits then it is vital that you tell your dentist exactly how you feel. Once he knows this you can be assured that every effort will be made to ensure your visit is as stress free and most importantly,

As pain free as possible.

My Personal Financial Coach & Why I Chose Bruce Lloyd Bradshaw

May 27th, 2008

“Nine Notes on Wearing the Pants” Part III

My Personal Financial Coach is an unlikely choice in some ways, and I think, a brilliant choice in others. A Viet Nam War veteran who graduated with a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Western Wisconsin Technical College, Bruce has studied plenty of Life Lessons Learned in order to make his own way into the world of financial advising. After surviving two years, 9 months and 27 days of active duty with the US Army as a UH-1 Helicopter Crew Chief, he came back from Viet Nam and Thailand to build another life. His first marriage was a casualty of the war, and his career in engineering would also turn out to be full of landmines. He has survived a heart attack at 41 and the death of a child, a son, at 17.

He has seen a corporation to which he had given years of dedicated service and his retirement plan go bankrupt. Working for this corporation, he spent time in places such as Zambia, Liberia, Benin, Venezuela, Panama, Colombia, Greece, Turkey, China, Japan, Germany, the UK and Switzerland. There are lessons to be learned from every culture, he believes.

He has owned a resort and a night-club and residential investment properties in the US. Because of these diverse experiences he understands a wide range of financial tools available. There are very few advisors in the world bringing the tools, knowledge, experience, and compassion together to help people reach their individual financial goals.

Bruce Bradshaw has personally experienced the ebb and flow of markets and the joys and traumas of investing in multiple asset classes. On account of all this, he became a professional financial advisor and founder of the Walworth Financial Group. He witnessed the death of too many hardworking employees’ dreams; has seen how life’s sudden enormous surprises can take people unprepared. He and his wife have the care of truly elderly ladies in their family. They have a strong and enduring marriage and five grandchildren. “My entire life I’ve been a mechanic at heart. I love to understand which tools to apply to a given situation. That’s what I do…I fix things or prevent them from breaking…with the right tools. And that’s what good financial planning means.”

He has refined a unique strategy to help his clients protect and grow their assets over specific timeframes and reap the benefits of highly probable investing.

A Personal Financial Coach is available to my readers across the country and around the world. While it may not be my Personal Financial Coach, there are others who share his code of ethics and perspective on client service.

The opportunity to “wear the pants” and take charge of your financial future is just around the electronic corner.

Create a Traffic Stampede with More Web Content

May 26th, 2008

If you have an Internet business, then you have a need for quality, fresh content. It has been said that the more content means a greater chance of attracting web visitors.

So basically, more content means more visitors which means more m*ney!

But what if you really hate writing or can’t think of ways to get more content?

If that is the case, then here are six great places where you can easily add quality content to your website.

Google Alerts

Google has a service that sends news, press releases, and website information to your email account. Easy to set up, you enter a search phrase and Google Alerts will send you updates about that specific topic. You easily take this information and create a 100-150 word summary that can be entered into a blog or news section.

To get started, you can check-out Google Alerts: <http://www.google.com/alerts>

Public Domain

There are tons of books, magazines and websites full of great content that can be easily copied to your website. Called Public Domain Works, this is content that is written by someone else which has no copyright protection. You have the legal-right to take it and use it for your own purpose. By using public domain works, you can easily create sites with thousands of pages.

Some of the better places to find Public Domain works are <http://www.firstgov.gov/> or
<http://www.gutenberg.org>.

Articles

By using other people’s articles, you can easily add thousands of pages to your website. If you go to an article directory, you can find a large variety of web articles that are related to your topic. In addition, most of these articles are quite informative and provide quality content to your web visitor.

Two of the better places to find quality web articles are <http://www.goarticles.com> and <http://www.ezinearticles.com>

Outsource Your Content

If you have a little c*sh to spend, you can easily hire someone else to write tons of web content. What I usually do is find about 30-50 profitable keywords in my niche and hire someone to write an optimized article of 400-600 words. Usually you can find authors for around $8-$10 per article. So for a small-investment, you can get great content that is unique and optimized for search engines.

Here are few places where you can find quality (and affordable) people to write content articles: <http://www.elance.com> and <http://www.rentacoder.com>

Private Label Resale Rights

One of the “hidden” places to get quality content is through websites that offer private label resale rights. With private label rights you get full access to ebooks and articles that are written by other people. You have full permission to change or present the content in any way that you see fit. So if you find an ebook with 101 tips on a topic, you can easily turn this material into a series of web pages. You can also take this one step further and create an autoresponder sequence that is tied into your major affiliate-program.

One of the best places I use to get private label rights is <http://www.nicheology.com>

RSS Feeds

A great way to get fresh content is to have a RSS Feed installed on your website. Basically a RSS Feed is a tool that pulls news items from a website or blog. A great trick is to place the RSS Feed on all your web pages, so search engines see that your content is being consistently updated.

What I usually do is use a feed that pulls entries from my own blog. That way, I can control the content and amount of times that it is being updated.

One of the better places to find a good RSS Feed for your website is <http://www.pheeds.com>.

Although I have given you six great places to get content, there is one thing you should know about using it. Many search engines penalize websites for having duplicate content. So if you know that this information is listed on other sites, you need to change or add to the content. What I usually do is add to or alter about 25% of the content. This will help you avoid the duplicate content filter that is used by major search engines.

By utilizing all six of these content sources, you can easily build up a site filled with thousands of pages of fresh quality content that will attract tons of web-traffic. Once this is done, you will see your income soar through the roof.
