A look at how you can hook up business opportunity seekers

I've been involved in online marketing for many years now. Since I'm fairly successful at what I do, a lot of friends (and even a few strangers) have asked me for some advice about how they can make their online MLM venture work. I usually tell them that it doesn't matter what kind of product they have because the real key to increasing sales (and, therefore, the bottom line) is to increase the size of their salesforce. In other words, they have to know where to find business opportunity seekers who are ready to make money.

The good news is the fact that there's no shortage of business opportunity seekers out there. That's because everyone has heard by now that there is very good money to be made on the Internet and they want to take a piece of the pie. The bad news is that not every business opportunity seeker is right for your project. Instead of wasting time and money on a extensive advertising attack that mostly reaches people who have no meaning of following up on your offer, you should limit your ads to a select group of business opportunity seekers who are truly interested in your sales pitch.

That sounds easy enough. But how are you supposed to find these business opportunity seekers in order to get your message out to them. The best way to do so is to purchase a few hot mailing lists from upright sources. These mailing lists contain hundreds of names and email addresses of business opportunity seekers looking to join lawful operations like yours.

These are people who freely submitted their contact information and are waiting to hear from you. That's what makes targeted mailing lists much more valuable than general lists. You won't have to worry that the people you contact via targeted mailing lists might view your pitch as spam. Your emails will only go out to a captive audience of excited prospects.

I will offer you one caution here. Prior to purchasing a mailing list of business opportunity seekers, be sure to check into the seller's status. The last thing you want to do is spend good money on a list that contains stale names or invalid email addresses.

So if you're ready to expand your salesforce or pitch your products and services to targeted business opportunity seekers, then I suggest that you consider purchasing some MLM mailing lists. You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to close sales when your prospects actually want to hear from you.

The trouble with long hair - cushing s disease

As summer sets in most horses have shed their winter coats. But some older horses are still clinging to their winter coat. Some have not shed it at all.

Failure to shed the winter coat is a good indication that a horse has Cushing's disease.

Cushing's disease is being recognised more and more frequently in older horses and ponies. The condition is named because of its similarities to the human disease of the same name. But there are significant differences.

Equine Cushing's disease is associated with excessive cortisol production by the adrenal gland. In almost all cases, it is caused by increased activity in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland, which sits at the base of the brain. The underlying problem seems to lie with nerves that should limit the activity of the affected part of the gland.

In normal horses, ACTH, a hormone from the pituitary gland, stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands. The blood cortisol level is controlled by a complex "feed back” mechanism. Basically, an increase in blood cortisol inhibits further ACTH release, which in turn causes the cortisol level to fall.

In horses with Cushing's disease the abnormal pituitary gland produces ACTH, and other related molecules, some of which increase the “potency” of ACTH. In addition, the abnormal gland does not respond to the normal feedback controls. Most of the signs seen with Cushing's disease are due to the increased cortisol activity.

Often the first sign that a horse is affected with Cushing's disease is hirsutism, the development of an excessively long and often curly coat. Shedding of the coat that normally occurs in summer either does not occur at all or is greatly reduced.

Other signs include excessive sweating, weight loss, poor performance, increased drinking and passing increased amounts of urine. Almost all affected animals go on to develop laminitis eventually. Because the laminitis in these cases is the result of internal problems rather than a momentary dietary indiscretion, it is often more difficult to treat than laminitis due to dietary causes.

Various tests have been used to help to confirm the diagnosis. Unfortunately the tests can sometimes be misleading. In most cases they are not necessary. There is really only one condition that causes older horses not to shed their hair in summer - and that is Cushing’s disease.

So, what can be done for horses with Cushing’s disease? Veterinarians have used a variety of medications, originally intended for human use, to treat Cushing's disease in horses. The most effective seems to be a drug called pergolide. If the treatment is successful, as well as showing a general improvement in condition, a horse may start to shed its coat again.

Some people have found that herbal mixtures containing chaste berry extracts have helped, but others disagree.

Clipping the excessive coat will make the horse more comfortable, and may reduce the risk of skin infections. Regular corrective trimming of the feet is likely to be necessary once laminitis develops.

The onset of Cushing’s disease need not necessarily mean a horse’s days are numbered. But once you spot the telltale signs have a word with your veterinarian to discuss the options that are available for managing the condition.

Links to try out and be on your way to self-improvement... a great helping resource

The popularity of self-improvement books, tapes and seminars is a reflection of the universal interest we all have in overcoming our limitations, or "being the best we can be" or "achieving our full potential."

Popular applications of self-improvement programs include motivation and confidence, personal relationships, sales and job performance, enhancement of sports performance, public speaking, weight control and smoking cessation.

Here are some basic principles to help you determine whether such products or programs are worthy of your time and money.

There is no book or program that will be an exact fit for your needs and interests. Books and group programs are necessarily general in nature. Some of the ideas and concepts may apply well to you, but others may be irrelevant or just plain wrong as applied to your own personality and life situation. Use good judgment and discrimination in following advice offered in any self-improvement program.

Be wary of any program that is highly authoritarian and that tears you down, or attacks people who question what is being done. There have been many group self-improvement programs that have enjoyed a temporary burst of great popularity over the years that have been extremely damaging to some participants.

The most effective program or tape would, of course, be one that is designed specifically for the individual, addressing his or her unique goals, motivation and personality. Obviously this can be done only in personal consultation with a professional person such as a psychologist and involves the cost of paying that professional person for the time it takes them to provide the individual attention required to design a program or tape tailored exactly to your needs.

Suggesting a link to which you can seek for help can make things easier for you to achieve your goal. Help is on its way. Here are links that I can suggest you can visit.

• Psych Web by Russ Dewey:

The content of this awesome and well-organized site might be described as half-way in between the sites "Self Improvement Online" and "Mental Health Net." Although its modest self description on the home page is "This Web site contains lots of psychology-related information for students and teachers of psychology," it is that and much more. The links on its self-help directory page alone are worth the time of the trip to this site: psych com/resource/selfhelp. htm.

• Internet Mental Health:

mentalhealth. com

In their words: "Internet Mental Health is a free encyclopedia of mental health information. It was designed by a Canadian psychiatrist, Dr. Phillip Long, and programmed by his colleague, Brian Chow...Internet Mental Health is for anyone who has an interest in mental health: - Mental health professionals - Patients who want to learn more about their illness - Friends and families of patients - Mental health support groups - Students - Members of the general public who want to learn more about mental health" This is an impressive site with many helpful articles and resources. If you are interested in mental health from any point of view, you'll be happy you visited.

• Life Mentoring:

lifementoring. com/

Because of the demand from our clients we started this site Life Mentoring for individual visitors, in

1998. It's mission is to provide you with the best collection of thoughts, ideas, philosophies and practical concepts for leading a truly meaningful and successful life. It is not linked to any school of thought, but rather wants to give you an overview of all different approaches - and so you to choose and pick whatever suits your needs best." The site has a number of very good articles, excellent collection of links, a free newsletter, a bbs/forum. Lots of enthusiasm, but no commercial hype.

A group program or a general tape is, of course, less costly. If it does in fact does come close to fitting the goals, motivation and personality of the individual reasonably well, it may prove to be a useful self-improvement tool. It is a less costly approach, but it could not reasonably be expected to be as effective as a program or tape designed specifically for you.

Maintain your family s comfort by getting a debt consolidation loan online

Sometimes in everyone’s life we come to a place where money begins to fall short and sacrifices have to be made. These days, however, when money falls short, there are options that do not include sacrifice. It is possible to continue living the life that you’ve become accustomed to even when it gets a little pricey. With the use of a debt consolidation loan online, you will be able to combine your current debts which will save you money in the long run as well as allowing you to make smaller payments now.

When you consolidate something, you combine it. You do this to create more room. In financial terms, you consolidate to create more income each month. This does not mean that you’re getting more money on your paycheck, but it does mean that more of your current paycheck will be available to you for use in whatever way you choose. Currently you pay each credit card every month by a certain date. If, at the turn of the billing cycle, you have not paid your total debt off, you are charged interest. If you have a good payment history, your interest rate probably ranges from 11-14% each month. If you have had some late payments or have gone over your limits, you are not only assessed fees, but your interest rate may go up as high as 26%. This would be for each credit card. In making minimum payments, all you’re really doing is staying in good graces with the credit companies. Your balance is barely being touched, if at all. At this rate your balance remains and you are making the credit card companies a lot of money while paying several dollars more than you should have to each month.

The debt consolidation loan online will take all of these credit balances and combine them. Also, your interest rate will be much lower than that of the credit card. You will only be charged the interest rate once a month rather than several times over. When you make your payments you will see monthly the amount of the balance decrease. One of the best features of this type of loan, you will have more money in your pocket each month to cover living expenses. If living expenses have risen due to a new child or just the fact that your children are growing, this loan will make it more easily possible for you to continue to do for your family what you’ve already been doing and possibly even more. In addition to this, you will finally be paying those credit balances down and eventually will pay them off.

If you are not ready to sacrifice the things that you’ve come to depend on, the debt consolidation loan online is one that will keep things going as you’ve come to like them. Sacrifice will not be a necessity and your financial outlook will be a positive one.

Making all city

Toward the end of my junior year at Weequahic High School in Newark New Jersey, I started hearing from my friends that I was going to make All City. How did they know I asked myself? In my usual mood of high esteem I was thinking that there was no way I would make the all city team. “Vailburg’s catcher was better than me” is what crossed my mind. I make the grade – No way. I told you I had high self esteem.

The two best teams in the city at the time, Barringer and Vailsburg would receive the most recognition for their players. We were 3-15. And our record did not display how really bad we were. I think I was the only player that batted over .300. Well maybe Dashell Meeks hit over 300 as well.

In the last game of the season we were playing Central High School in Unterman Field. They were a poor to average team at best. But they had Richie Glenn. An above average pitcher with speed to burn and a curveball that was, well I’ll get to that curveball in a minute. I went up to bat thinking home run. I was so determined to hit a home run I remember standing closer to the plate thinking I could reach an outside pitch. Most if not all of my hits that year were singles. While I had power I had not displayed much of it. I dug in deeper ready to smack one when Richie let loose with one that was very high and very tight. A curve ball without the curve in it.

So tight it stuck in my ear. I guess it did not curve like I thought. Down I went. Out like a light. While the ball did not stick in my ear it made quite an impression in my head. I think some thread from the ball is embedded in my ear and lobe to this day.

I was slowly escorted to Coach Ginsburg’s office. When I finally awoke which seemed like hours, but was really minutes, Mr Ginsburg told me I had made the Star Ledger All City Baseball team. I was elated and soar. I was happy and groggy. I was proud and queasy at the same time.

At the time it seemed like the beaning I received made whoever voted for The All City team vote for me. They felt sorry for me and gave me a place on the team. I told you I had high self esteem.

Wow what a day. I wonder if Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig ever went through something like this.

No2 - nitric oxide supplements for bodybuilding

Nitric Oxide, a key molecule manufacturered by the body, causes vasodilation (an expansion of the internal diameter of blood vessels), which in turn leads to increased blood flow, oxygen transport, delivery of nutrients to skeletal muscle and a reduction in blood pressure. An amino acid compound called arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (A-AKG) and arginine-ketoisocaproate (A-KIC) can boost short term Nitric Oxide levels. Increased strength and markedly improved stamina can also be expected. In fact, the results may be classified into three categories: 1) the promotion of an extended pump; 2) signaling muscle growth and speeding recovery; 3) increasing strength and stamina.

NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC, natural myodilators that may help boost nitric oxide levels in your body, thereby increasing blood flow, oxygen transport, and delivery of nutrients to skeletal muscle.

• NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help your muscles experience an extended pump.

• NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help your body signal muscle growth and speed recovery.

• NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help improve your strength and stamina.

• NO2 utilizes the A-DS Advanced Delivery System which enhances absorption of the active compounds to insure uptake and help sustain powerful effects around the clock.

Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?

Everyone needs nitric oxide to carry out key physiological processes within the body. From a bodybuilder's perspective, nitric oxide supplementation may prove useful in increasing growth due to increases in blood flow to certain areas of the body. Further, men suffering from erectile dysfunction may also find supplementing with nitric oxide helpful.

Signs of deficiency include the inability to achieve and sustain erections, physical weakness and extreme fatigue. Most "nitric oxide" supplements contain the amino acid Arginine-alpha-keto-glutarate.

What are the side effects?

With any amino acid containing product, overdose is a possibility. Dosing with too much arginine can lead to diarrhea, weakness and nausea. Clear dosing guidelines have not been established, so it is best to do what is known as "tolerance mapping". Take a small dosage for one week, note the benefits and the side effects, and increase the dosage until the benefits are maximized and the side effects minimized. Over time the two will converge and you will hit the optimal dose.

Benefits

• improves strength and stamina

• increased muscle growth and recovery

• increases muscle pump

Roman shades light-wise window solution

Fabric roman shades add a touch of refinement, flair and sophistication to any room. You can buy a ready-to-use set of Roman shades or you can create them from scratch in any fabric and size that you like. You can hang Roman shades flat for a more modern style, or fold them and create a softer and more conventional teardrop Roman shade style with buffs of any volume.

Roman shades are becoming a big home-decorating trend, returning on a wave of the interest to streamlined minimalist or exotic designs. Made with beautiful soft fabric, simple and very practical, Roman shades fold into well-defined pleats when raised, much like a classic Venetian blind. At the top, a matching fabric is used allowing for an array of color and pattern. For the lining, a solid pale color is commonly used.

Roman shades are incredibly flexible and light-efficient. They also offer better temperature control than other types of shades. In winter, you can draw them high to allow the sun’s natural heating rays to enter the room, and after the sunset you can close them tightly stopping the heat from escaping through the window. In the summer, you can close the Roman shades almost completely to prevent the overheating of the room, while in the evening you can open the shades to cool down the temperature. All other types of shades leave too much fabric around the window that doesn’t allow for precise light and temperature control.

Roman shades are relatively simple to make. Before you start picking the fabric you must measure your window and estimate which hardware and mountings you need. Roman shades don’t require any specific mountings – that’s the beauty of them. They draw up via a cord strung through the sides of the shade. The cords then travel through the pulleys mounted on mounting board above the window on or outside the window frame.

The fabric that you choose for your roman shades depends on where the window overlooks. If there is a beautiful scenic view you will most likely choose a plain sheer light fabric. If your window overlooks a busy street, then you will need an opaque fabric that gives you a sense of privacy. Plus, some people are prone to season affected disorders and need more light to remain positive and healthy. In this case, you may need a sheer fabric that doesn’t block the sun light, but rather diffuses it.

The type of fabric is also determined on what type of activities the room is used for. If it’s a living room with a TV, you may need a fabric that allows you to control the amount of light and glare on the screen. If you a planning to put your roman shades in the bedroom you will need a light-blocking dark fabric to help you sleep during the summer months when the sun rises early.

At the end of the day, all window treatments require maintenance and cleaning. The benefit of roman shades is that they are the easiest to keep clean – you can wash them in your washing machine, iron afterwards and re-hang them looking as good as new.
