Tornadoes - Nature's Most Violent Storms!

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 17:03:06 -0700

By Larry Frank

When it comes to speed and destruction, nothing beats a tornado's punch - it hits fast and it hits hard! Not only that, there's little to no advance warning before one shows up on your doorstep.

Mr. Prepared Says Twisters Are Weather Record-Breakers!

When it comes to speed and destruction, nothing beats a tornado’s punch - it hits fast and it hits hard! Not only that, there’s little to no advance warning before one shows up on your doorstep (and it won’t be polite and ring the doorbell, trust me!). A twister can take out a whole town in a matter of minutes - not to mention your entire house off its foundation in a flash. Now that’s some kind of power!

I’m Mr. Prepared, here to tell you that, when it comes to these wicked wind devils, emergency preparations are more important than any other natural disaster - because, when tornadoes do strike, you don’t have time to do any last-minute cramming!

That’s why I wrote my new free special report, “Top 10 Tornado Survival Facts,” available for download at my website at www.MrPrepared.com. It’s a valuable primer on what to do before, during and after a twister - and what food supplies and essential survival gear you should always have on hand in case one strikes. The more you understand in advance how tornadoes work - and what you should and shouldn’t do when one strikes - the better equipped you are for survival!

And you need to be, especially if you live in the good old USA. Here, violent tornados happen 4 times more often than in all of Europe! Although tornadoes have happened on every continent except Antarctica (breathe a little easier, you penguins!), America is where the most tornado action is. As a matter of fact, the most violent tornado of all happened in the Midwest in 1925 - it was called “The Tri-State Tornado.”

Yeah boy, this was one for the record books. The TST, as I like to call it, slammed through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana and still holds the record for the tornado that traveled the longest (219 miles), the fastest (73 mph) and stayed intact the longest (three and a half hours - the average lifespan of a tornado is ten minutes!). It also racked up the most U.S. tornado fatalities - 695 dead.

Almost fifty years later, in 1974, the record books were shattered again when the most extensive tornado outbreak occurred, blowing through parts of the Midwest and in southern Ontario in Canada. There must have been more wind than at a session of Congress - an astounding 148 tornadoes were spotted in just 18 hours, and an unprecedented amount of them were at the most-violent end of the scale. At one point, sixteen tornadoes were on the ground at the same time!

With tornadoes coming a lot more fast and furious in recent years, the TST’s record could end up being challenged soon. Although there are certain times of the year and certain parts of the country that favor tornado formations, these wicked weather events can actually happen at any time anywhere in the country.

So know how to prepare for a tornado. Know how to survive during one. And know how to safely deal with what could be an ugly aftermath after the twister has moved on. Download my free special report, “Top 10 Tornado Survival Facts,” at my website - and while you’re there, check out some of my suggestions for stocking up on emergency survival supplies in case you’re cut off from crucial services and assistance due to extreme tornado damage. Your life may depend on it!

This is Mr. Prepared, bringing Awareness to Preparedness!

Mr. Prepared is the alter ego of Larry Frank, a self-described, "preparedness junkie." MrPrepared.com is a website dedicated to teaching people of all ages how to be better prepared and serves as a central outlet where visitors can get all of the supplies they need to stay safe and prepared.

TV Shows To Watch Online - What Do You Wanna Watch?

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:01:57 -0700

By Roger Davis

Thanks too many TV networks, you are now being provided with TV shows to watch online. With a busy schedule and many reasons to watch TV online, why haven't you?

We today live in a busy society. Our schedules are filled with work, our kids sporting events, errands and chores, etc. You are hard pressed to find a moment to sit down, relax, and enjoy TV. However, we live on the internet, and spend almost too much time in front of a computer screen. What does this mean? It means you are now offered TV shows to watch online!

For some it seems like just yesterday that the television was invented. You had few channels and even fewer shows. Fast-forward to today and there are thousands of channels with thousands of TV shows available too you. Not everyone has time to enjoy all of the programs that are being offered to them though, until now. With channels offering TV shows to watch online, people who used to not be able to watch TV are now being given a chance.

All of the major networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, offer their TV shows online to you, for free. What this means is you are able to go to anyone of their websites, find the TV series you are interested in, find the specific episode you want to see, and begin watching it! You do not need to register to view any of the episodes, and they are given to you instantly.

There are many reasons to why you would want to watch TV on your computer. The first one that I have stated is you do not have time to sit down in front of a TV. Other reasons are commercials, picture quality, and saving money.

Many do not like commercials and use it as a time for other things. If you watch a one hour TV show you will view around 15 minutes of commercials. When you watch your shows online, you will get limited commercial interruptions. The commercials are 30 seconds long and you will have to view only 5 of them in a one hour episode. That means that a one hour episode will actually be closer to 50 minutes in length.

Many computers actually have better picture quality than most televisions. This is not true if you have invested in a new LCD or HDTV, but many computer screens have better picture quality than televisions.

Finally, cable or satellite can be extremely expensive. You could be paying as much as $100 a month to watch TV. When you watch TV online, you are not spending a dime because all the shows are free. You could be saving as much as $1,200 in a year because you watch your shows on the computer.

Discover how to find TV Shows to Watch Online by visiting Roger's site that shows you how to Watch TV on the Internet

Every Failure Is An Opportunity In Disguise

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:43:35 -0700

By Richard Saldan

Mount Rushmore was inspired by incredible men who accomplished amazing feats by harnessing the power of adversity. Overcoming the adversity of life can reward you with an exhilerating feeling of strength and accomplishment. While most people run from adversities the true leader embraces challenges.

As much as we would all love to live an easy life with endless resources and finances, most people might admit that life would be pretty monotonous if there were no obstacles or failures. Evidence of this might be seen by watching the celebrity gossip television programs, where the rich and famous of Hollywood seem to bounce from one crisis to another, seemingly bored of living the good life. How many times have you watch such stories in the news, and thought what you would do to benefit humanity if you could have their vast resources of wealth, power and influence. How many times have you been puzzled when trying to understand their mindset?

Success begotten without any hard labor or without crossing any insurmountable barrier is hardly remembered even by the most successful people. To compare it with something which we experience every day, we would not value sunlight if it was not snatched by darkness of the night. While no one in this world is spared from ill fortunes and his share of bad luck, disappointments and failures, what separates men from mouse is the individual ability to deal with failures. While some succumb to their past rejections and present failures, some rise above it and strive harder to perfect their processes to achieve success. The second group always visualizes the entire spectrum of life – with its due quota of ups and downs and sees every failure as another opportunity thrown at them which has the potential of future success. This relentless pursuit of happiness and success despite all the hurdles which might come in the way, eventually take these people high on the ladder of accomplishment. The people who are tormented at the sheer thought of failure, past or present, are usually left behind.

What is it that makes successful people look beyond their set backs and re-set their goals with renewed enthusiasm and vigor? Here are some of the ways by which people can achieve this skill:

— Treat the past as over and future as illusive. This means that you have to act for the present moment, which is all that you have in front of you. If you let your past failures come in your way of thinking positively for the future, you would be perennially haunted by what obstacles may occur in future. The key is to treat any set-back as an opportunity to improve the way you do things. Once you start believing in what the present is offering you, you tend to be more focused on making the most of your opportunities.

— Believe in yourself. We all know about the rejection which Graham Bell faced from the scientific community when he invented a new way in which we could communicate. If Bell had given up on his belief and resigned to his failures, we would have perhaps never reached this far as we have today in the field of communication. Failures, negative criticism, set backs are all intrinsic part of success. If you believe in your ideas and can firmly stand by it, you can look at every failure on its face and see the sun that shines behind the barrier.

The talent or ability to take every failure in the stride is an important asset in any organization. It is really the leader’s responsibility to coach his employees and team members the importance of remaining steadfast in their approach to achieve respective career and personal goals. Set backs would come and go and would continue to do so, so long as you are involved in some kind of activity in life. There is a saying that when it rains, it pours. Nothing can be truer than this saying, when it comes to being flooded with set backs. Where we go wrong is that we fail to notice the silver lining around the cloud.

Motivational Magic is a mindset that gives special attention to building and reinforcing this type of thinking. People are given the tools to develop a more positive outlook towards life and to go beyond failures with a smile and head held high. The whole idea is to derive new enthusiasm from our adversities. Reaching deep within to tap into an inner power that you never worked with ever before. Reverse the negativity, and let us not turn the whole adversity experience into a vicious cycle where we perform sub-optimally in the face of adversities to invite more failure.

If you have tried hard, try harder this time pushing down all the adversities which hinder you and success could be round the corner. Overcoming the adversities of life can reward you with an exhilerating feeling of strength and accomplishment. While most people run from adversities, the true leader embraces adversity and uses it as a slingshot to propel themselves forward. Mount Rushmore was inspired by such leaders, incredible men who accomplished amazing feats by harnessing the power of adversity.

Allow your adversities to unlock your greatest opportunities for personal achievement and extraordinary accomplishments!

Hair Mineral Analysis And Aluminium

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:03:39 -0700

By Joy Healey

When the body's ability to detoxify itself is exceeded, toxic minerals may accumulate in fatty tissues and may cause chronic health problems. One such mineral is aluminum. Learn how a simple, non-invasive test can check for aluminum imbalance, and what corrective steps you can take to re-balance the bodily levels.

Our modern life-style means we have to protect ourselves from the natural effects of exposure to a vast array of chemicals; for instance by eating organic foods. Many health problems are caused by an over-load of anti-nutrients - which are those that stop nutrients being used, or promote their excretion. In addition to a healthy diet what other measures can we take?

When the body’s ability to detoxify itself is exceeded, toxins accumulate in fatty tissues and may cause chronic health problems. If your job or lifestyle has exposed you to such toxins you are recommended to have a hair mineral analysis (HMA) to check your levels. In this article I’ll be looking at some of the toxic levels an analysis may reveal, what problems they may be linked to and what you might do to reduce your exposure.

If you have a disease or illness, which has not responded to conventional treatment, you may wish to explore other possibilities and an HMA is an excellent place to start. So if you are suffering from ‘unexplained’ problems such as headaches, backaches, weakness or tremors, an HMA may help you to get to the bottom of it.

The section detailing anti-nutrient and toxic mineral levels is a vital part of the hair analysis report. If toxic minerals are found to be in excess, there are many ways in which a nutritional approach can help.

Of course it makes sense to do as much as you can to protect yourself from exposure in the first place. One very common substance is aluminum which has been linked with Parkinson’s disease by some researchers. Aluminum has also been found in tangled fibers in the brains of Alzheimer’s sufferers. Aluminum may be responsible for symptoms such as poor memory and concentration, skin irritation, hair loss and slow metabolic rate.

Common sources of aluminum in our daily lives

* Aspirin, some deodorants, antacids and toothpaste tubes.

* Consumables such as processed cheese, table salt (for smoother pouring), baking powder, instant coffee, tea bags, powdered milk. Aluminum is added to foods (E173) as an emulsifying, bleaching or anti-caking agent and to flour to bleach it. Many food additives are harmful, but are still added to enhance appearance and shelf-life - hence profitability. Check the labels and avoid additives where possible. Buy fresh, organic food and consume it before it deteriorates.

* Many water authorities add aluminum to the water supply to clean it, so drink filtered or bottled water - ideally from glass, not plastic bottles

* Aluminum is often present in packaging such as aluminum foil and cans. Many cooking utensils are made from aluminum and it is particularly harmful to cook fruit and vegetables in aluminum pans as the cooking water will become acidic and take up more aluminum.

The vitamins and minerals in wholesome food can help protect you from toxins and aid detoxification if necessary - for instance, vitamin C (found in fruit and vegetables or easy to take as an inexpensive supplement) fights against toxic metals.

Iron deficiency enhances the uptake of aluminum from the diet. Aluminum is soluble in water and more readily absorbed by man in acidic conditions. If iron is deficient there will be less hemoglobin made and the blood will be more acidic so more ready to take up aluminum. People who are anaemic often have raised levels of aluminum. Iron supplements could make you constipated, so, a better way is to get iron naturally, from the food you eat, than from a supplement. The following foods are just some that contain iron: parsley, dates, almonds, prunes, cashew nuts, raisins, Brazil nuts, walnuts, pork, cooked dried beans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, pecan nuts.

What steps can you take to prevent the ingestion of aluminum from your food? Calcium and zinc reduce the uptake of aluminum from the diet so eat plenty of leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, Brewer’s Yeast and seafoods. Avoid as many as possible of the sources above. The importance of eating organically grown foods to minimize the risk of ingesting other toxins from pesticides, cannot be emphasized strongly enough.

Can you remove aluminium from your body? Fibre and pectin (a soluble form of fibre found in carrots, apples, the pith of citrus fruits and bananas) help remove toxic metals from the body, as do foods which include sulphur containing amino acids (the building blocks for protein). These include onions, garlic and eggs. Also, be sure to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables containing vitamin C.

Finally, if a Hair Mineral Analysis shows an excess or imbalance of aluminum, the recommended supplement program that comes with your report, will be designed to correct the imbalance.

Vendstar Review

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:03:09 -0700

By Jayne Manziel

Over the years, Vending Machine business has been proven to be a very good business with a quite high yield - rate. Just like any other business endeavors out there, it also needs you to do your homework. Followings are a part of my experiences that I gladly share with you to help you tread this glorious path.

Why suffer from soaring gas prices when you can stay at home and earn huge amount of money?

Nowadays, where the cost of living is high and every price seems to be fluttering upward, most people are already considering the benefits of starting their own home-based business and just working at the convenience of their own home. One company that claims to help you be your own boss in the comfort of your own home is Vendstar.com.

Like any other vending machine business company, Vendstar.com promises you vending machines that are 100% cash business and vending routes that require no additional employees. Since vending routes require no rent for an office or additional utilities fees, you can just work from home and set your own hours. A word of caution, I am not saying that you should trust Vendstar right away, desperation is common nowadays and more and more people are falling victims to scammers, better make sure that the company you are dealing with is really sincere in keeping their promises.

Vendstar boasts of it’s Vendstar 3000 which they claimed to be the most advanced, streamlined and efficient Bulk Vending Machines on today’s market. Vendstar 3000 has a modular design which makes a person to easily service up to 600 machines comfortably. Servicing the machine takes only five minutes of a person’s time, once a month. I have seen this machine and noticed that it is all made of plastic except for the locks

Vendstar.com claims that they put a high premium on your business and offers a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty on parts and services as well as a 10-year coverage for theft and vandalism.

Vendstar.com also claims of ongoing consultation support services to those who are interested in a home-based bulk vending business program. Though Vendstar’s business program sounds good, my tip to those who are thinking of starting a vending machine business is start with a small number of machines first. In this way, you can gauge the machines’ profitability and see if the business is really for you. If you think the profits suit you well, then you can always expand later by buying more machines.

Overall, Vendstar.com might be a good choice for people who are thinking to start a vending machine business. I have heard a few good things about Vendstar and noticed that their customer testimonials on their website seem happy with the way they run their business. If you are looking to run your own vending machine business in the future, then I think Vendstar could be a good choice and they do provide a nice bulk candy machine in my opinion. But again, do your own research and make your own decision when choosing a vending company and a vending machine.

She devotes the time, energy, and effort into her clients and mentors them to ensure their success. To learn more visit her Vending Locators Network.

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:02:38 -0700

By Brenda Hollingsworth and Richard Auger

This article provides an outline of the defences available to impaired driving charges and other important considerations. A person charged with impaired driving or driving "Over 80" should consider this list when deciding whether to self-represent or when chosing a defence lawyer.

Impaired driving charges surge over long summer holiday weekends. If you find yourself charged, make sure you know these numbers…

7 facts that must be proved before you can be found guilty of impaired driving:

1. Your identity

2. As a driver

3. Of a motor vehicle

4. As a driver operating a motor vehicle in a public place while

5. Your blood alcohol level was over one of the prescribed limit by

6. The introduction of alcohol into the body.

If all of these facts are not proved, you cannot be convicted.

10 facts your lawyer wants to know:

1. What your schedule was before the arrest.

2. What you drank and how much.

3. Describe your observations of the officer.

4. Why the officer says he or she stopped you.

5. Were you asked to take roadside tests?

6. The results on roadside tests.

7. What you said to the officer.

8. The results of any breath or blood tests.

9. The names and contact information for any witnesses to your arrest.

10. How long it took from the time of your arrest to the time the breathalyzer was administered.

All of these facts may help the lawyer determine defences available to you.

3 ways the arresting officer’s testimony can be discredited:

1. Inconsistent statements by the officer or officers involved in the arrest.

2. Failure on the part of the police officer to recollect your case.

3. Failure to make important notations in the officer’s duty book notes, for example failure to record the time of the arrest and the time of the breathalyzer.

If the police officer’s evidence is shaky, the Crown’s case against you is shaky.

3 things the Crown Attorney does not want you to know:

1. The Crown does not have all the witnesses available to prove the case.

2. The Crown has exculpatory evidence which would prove your innocence.

3. The Crown has evidentiary problems in proving your blood alcohol level.

An experienced impaired driving defence lawyer can discern these facts from the Crown disclosure.

4 things that are crucial to your defence?

1. An excellent investigation of the facts.

2. Skillful cross-examination.

3. A thorough understanding of your Charter Rights.

4. An experienced criminal defence lawyer.

5 ways to challenge the results of the alcohol tests:

1. Prove that the officer lacked a reasonable suspicion that you were violating the law.

2. Prove that the officer lacked probable cause to arrest you or demand the roadside tests.

3. Prove that the officer failed to inform you of your rights concerning a breath or blood test.

4. Prove that the officer lacked probable cause before he arrested you and before he required you to take a blood or breath test.

5. Prove that the officer failed to tell you that you have a right to remain silent and to consult a lawyer.

2 things you need to know before deciding to plead guilty to impaired driving:

1. How strong is the Crown’s case against you.

2. What will the outcome be of an impaired conviction?

4 pretrial motions that should be filed, and the danger to you if they aren’t.

1. Motion to exclude evidence on the ground that you were unconstitutionally stopped.

2. Motion to exclude evidence on the grounds that there was an unconstitutional search and seizure.

3. Motion to exclude statements on failure to give advise you of your right to remain silent and your right to consult a lawyer.

4. Motion for disclosure of all Crown evidence.

If these motions are not filed by an experienced criminal defence lawyer, your case may not be dismissed when it should have been. Plain and simple.

7 defence strategies in pre-trial motions:

1. Challenge the constitutionality of the stop.

2. Challenge the constitutionality of the administration of roadside tests.

3. Challenge the constitutionality of the probable cause to arrest.

4. Challenge whether the appropriate Charter warning were administered.

5. Challenge how the roadside tests were given.

6. Challenge the use of any blood or breath test.

7. Challenge the constitutionality of any search and seizure.

If you are considering facing impaired driving charges yourself or if you are chosing a defence lawyer for your case, consider these numbers...they count!

The Most Important Health And Beauty Secrets

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:02:07 -0700

By John Russell

Natural beauty is individuality. It is also glowing health and vitality, it is awareness and action, it is science and technology and, of course, well groomed looks, perfectly nourished skin, and a toned and balanced body. We are no longer interested in finding quick cover-up effects but want long-range anti-aging natural beauty secrets to make us look and feel younger.

Best kept health and beauty secrets is an internet topic that is constantly in print. What does best kept health and beauty secrets really mean?

Best Kept Health and Beauty Secrets often is a catch-phrase used to attract attention to drive a reader to a product offering. A great website will share with you the actual health and beauty secrets that give you alluring, supple, provocative looking skin without the hype.

The first Best Kept Health and Beauty Secret is to use the correct pH of all products used on your skin. The recommended pH is 5.5 and certified dermatologist-tested at that level.

The next beauty secret is that skin care products are 100% formulated without animal products or by-products. Only plants and herbs together, improved through science and technology, offer superior benefits.

There’s a whole lot more to being beautiful than just your physical looks alone. It is true, natural beauty is making the most of what you have by looking after yourself and showing off your best.

Some of the most satisfactory beauty secrets are those you can make yourself with familiar ingredients. Old-fashioned beauty recipes handed down through the years, added to and improved upon, often turn out to be the most valuable of all beauty secrets. It will take time to determine which ones are the best for your particular skin type.

The traditional smoky-eye makeup colors are, of course, black or grey. You are, however, not limited to these color choices, you can also use less intense colors such as violet, chocolate, coffee, dark pink, copper, dark green, dark blue, or purple. Remember, when choosing eye shadow shades that colors should be chosen keeping in mind your eye color, hair color, and skin tone, and not the color of the clothes you wear. For smoky-eye makeup, you will need to choose 2 color coordinated eye shadows.

Since the days of antiquity, the aloe vera plant has been a popular healing remedy for many different types of diseases and conditions, and also as an aid in the promotion of greater health. Without a doubt, aloe vera’s most popular use is in the promotion of health and healing for the skin.

Anti aging starts on the inside, we all age at different rates depending on how well we look after ourselves. You can have control over your aging process, all you need to do is use anti aging skin care products and follow a few simple guidelines. Pursuing natural beauty secrets for anti aging is not vanity; it is an essential way to build-up confidence without which there is little achievement in anything.

Beauty advice that is not strictly guided by products 100% without mineral oil are not beauty secrets to be used. Mineral oil is occlusive that interferes with skin functions and otherwise scientifically advanced delivery systems. Think about smearing mineral oil on skin that is already even slightly oily and how the outcome could only be an oilier complexion.

If you are truly passionate about carressable skin, a best kept beauty secret is the total avoidance of products including dyes or chemical fragrances.

In summary, the best kept health and beauty secrets have to do with being committed to reversing the aging process; with a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and use the helpful home remedy tips we suggest above.

Can I Make Mistakes With Employees?

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:03:42 -0700

By Pat Brill

What's one question that all managers face in managing employees: ...can I make mistakes with my employees and still be effective in managing them?

What’s one question that all managers face in managing employees:

...can I make mistakes with my employees and still be effective in managing them?

Note: Some mistakes are illegal...become familiar with the federal and state employment laws.

The mistakes I’m talking about are human in nature....being too busy to focus and listen to your employees.

I’ve have certainly made mistakes with my staff....didn’t listen enough, was annoyed, rescheduled 1:1’s with my staff more often than I should, and yet I still managed to do a fairly decent job in managing my staff.

Just because I have a background in HR doesn’t mean I didn’t make my mistakes. Learning the skill of managing employees is just that...learning.

When I realized my mistake, I did the best I could do to rectify the situation. First, I acknowledged my mistake to the employee. Why is this important? You are showing respect to your employee as well as yourself, when you admit that you didn’t handle the situation in the best manner. You also model for the employee that it’s ok to make mistakes and to come forth so you can both handle the situation. It’s a mutual learning experience for both of you.

Sometimes the issue is small and you weren’t aware of it until the employee said something. Other times, you knew immediately that you didn’t handle a situation right. For example, you didn’t take the time to explain a project to the employee and you had a nagging thought that you were not organized in your presentation.

What I found to be the important strength to develop in managing employees is to respect what they bring to your team. Sounds ideal… especially when you are busy with day-to-day operations and feel the pressure of time to meet your deliverables. Yet It can be done.

Start by asking yourself...do I respect what each member brings to the team? If you don’t, then how can you resolve that situation? Employees do deserve your respect. Even if an employee isn’t able to meet the essential functions of their job, you can still handle them with respect. Sometimes the most respectful action is to let them move on to another position that is more suited to their abilities. Think it terms of respect when you interact with your team members.

So the question I leave you with is: Can you employees depend on your values to do what is right...even if you take a detour and make a mistake?

If you want the best from your employees, you have to give them your best...your respect.
