Water Fuel for Earth Friendly Family

by Lina Mavaega

It’s true that today’s rising gas prices are something we all hate. However, we really have only ourselves to blame. In fact, they’re just one example of how our reliance on nonrenewable and polluting fossil fuels can ruin not just our standard of living, but earth itself.

Even though rising gas prices are a problem and may literally put our families and us in the poor house, the damage we do with these fuel sources to both our environment and ourselves is even worse than what’s currently being done to our financial well being. It’s time we did something better.

If we can’t depend on nonrenewable and polluting fossil fuel sources such as gasoline to fulfill our energy wants, what should we do?

Enter water fuel. Water fuel conversion technology has been in the works for years, but it’s an idea whose time has finally come. Yes, you can run your car at least partially on water fuel; not only will you provide significant savings to yourself and your family by utilizing this technology, but you will be helping the planet out significantly as well.

When you do water fuel conversion, your gas mileage will about double over what you’re getting now. You and your family will also be helping the environment very positively. You’ll be adding much less carbon dioxide and monoxide to the atmosphere every time you take your car out.

Perhaps best of all, the technology is quite cheap. The conversion itself is going to cost you about $100, but you’ll save that much in gas money in a very short period of time. You’ll make back your initial investment and you’ll save both fuel and money.

This may even literally recession proof you and your family, because you’ll be giving yourself a financial cushion that others who don’t use this technology won’t have. In addition, the government, too, gives you a tax write off because you use this technology, which is yet another opportunity to save a few dollars.

Instead, your children can see you take steps to help the environment by helping alleviate global warming and other negative environment effects as they grow up. In turn, this can teach them lessons that making carry with them as adults. Then they, too, can live their lives knowing that their actions impact the environment and living accordingly.

Rather, your children can grow up watching you take steps that can help alleviate global warming and other pollution-related negative environmental effects. This, in turn, can teach them lessons that they will carry with them into adulthood; they, too, can then live their lives with an eye on how their actions impact the environment. Along with other environmentally conscious decisions, utilizing water fuel conversion technology is just plain smart, both financially and environmentally.

Learn The Rules Of The Credit Card Game

by William Blake

“Credit Card” and “Game” are words that are rarely spoken together. Games are fun and exciting, while credit card debt is anything but. According to financial expert David Bach, credit cards are the biggest game of all, and just like any game, there are certain rules that all credit card companies are held to.

Knowing the Rules

Because as consumers, we are in the game already, Bach says it is imperative that we know and understand the rules of the game we are playing.

Interest rates. This is the percent that consumers pay in order to borrow money from the credit card company. It is important to know this number, because it represents what your debt is costing you. The higher the number, the more money you are throwing away each month.

Late fees. Credit card companies are allowed to charge anywhere from $15-$39 on payments made even one hour late. This is money that could be applied to your debt. Pay your bills on time, and ask for an extension if you know you may be late with a payment. After the fact, you can call your credit card company and ask for late fees to be waived.

Read the Fine Print. Often credit card companies lure you in with promises of low interest rates, or no fees on balance transfers. These teaser rates are for a limited time, so its important to understand your agreement, and know how long you have to pay off your debt at the low rate. It is also important to understand the terms of your agreement, often a late payment will negate the teaser rate, and leave you vulnerable to fees, penalties, and interest rate increases.

Playing the Game:

Now that you know the rules of your credit card, you are ready to really play the game.

Know what you owe. Begin by making a complete list of all your credit cards, the amount you owe, and the interest rate the card carries. Prioritize the list starting with the cards with the highest interest rate.

Contact your creditors. Call each credit card company and negotiate a lower interest rate on your existing debt. Although they may argue at first, a supervisor is authorized to reduce your rate, immediately saving you money as you pay down your debt.

Dont be afraid to walk away. If they refuse to work with you, find a company offering a no balance transfer fee, and 0% interest for as long as possible. Transfer your debt to the new card, and pay it off within the allotted time period. Continue to pay down your debt, and celebrate each victory along the way, as you work to win the big game.

Ways to Make your Kitchen Look Good

by Jack Blacksmith

Kitchen remodeling is one of the most popular home remodeling projects. The kitchen is one place in the home that is the most lived in. It seems to always be a busy spot and often needs updated with newer appliances. Most home owners dream of a nice kitchen that is comfortable and functional. Remodeling is something that can turn an old kitchen into a dream kitchen.

The kitchen bar area makes for a very nice kitchen, but remodeling it can be a hassle. Having a bar area in your kitchen often ends up as just one more place for clutter. In order to make your kitchen bar remodeling a success you have to start by thinking about what you do and do not like about its current state.

The Function of the Kitchen Bar

The kitchen bar can have many functions. It can be an eating space, a serving space, a cooking space or a catch all. You should think about how your bar is utilized. Do you like the way it current is being used or do you want to make it used for something else? If your bar seems to be the place where mail, notes and other clutter congregates and you really do not enjoy that, then that should be at the top of your list of things to change. However, if you like the way it is being used, then you can leave that area alone and focus on other parts of the kitchen.

Declutter

Often in a home remodeling project clutter is the top of the list of things to change. It can be so easy for messes to pile up when things do not have a proper place. When you have a place for everything to go it makes it much easier and convenient for people to put it in its proper place. Your remodeling project should keep this in mind. You want organized areas. You should install hangers for pots, pans and kitchen utensils. You may want to add a wall organizer for keys, papers, and writing utensils. Make sure that everything has a place.

Most people who have a kitchen bar are very happy with the idea of having a kitchen bar, but they are not using it in the right way. Letting clutter take over the kitchen bar can just make it an eyesore. Once you clean up the bar you may even realize that you do not even need to remodel. You may be able to get by with just updating appliances, painting and maybe some new flooring.

Love and Faith

by Kim and Charles Petty

No woman is worthy to be a wife who on the day of her marriage is not lost absolutely and entirely in an atmosphere of love and perfect trust; the supreme sacredness of the relation is the only thing which, at the time, should possess her soul.

Women should not “obey” men anymore than men should obey women. There are six requisites in every happy marriage; the first is Faith, and the remaining five are Confidence. Nothing so compliments a man as for a woman to believe in him nothing so pleases a woman as for a man to place confidence in her.

Obey? God help me! Yes, if I loved a woman, my whole heart’s desire would be to obey her slightest wish. And how could I love her unless I had perfect confidence that she would only aspire to what was beautiful, true and right? And to enable her to realize this ideal, her wish would be to me a sacred command; and her attitude of mind toward me I know would be the same. And the only rivalry between us would be as to who could love the most; and the desire to obey would be the one controlling impulse of our lives.

We gain freedom by giving it, and he who bestows faith gets it back with interest. To bargain and stipulate in love is to lose.

Perfect faith implies perfect love; and perfect love casteth out fear. It is always the fear of imposition, and a lurking intent to rule, that causes the woman to haggle over a word it is absence of love, a limitation, an incapacity. The price of a perfect love is an absolute and complete surrender.

To give a man something for nothing tends to make the individual dissatisfied with himself.

Your enemies are the ones you have helped.

And when an individual is dissatisfied with himself he is dissatisfied with the whole world and with you.

A man’s quarrel with the world is only a quarrel with himself. But so strong is this inclination to lay blame elsewhere and take credit to ourselves, that when we are unhappy we say it is the fault of this woman or that man. Especially do women attribute their misery to That Man.

And often the trouble is he has given her too much for nothing.

This truth is a reversible, back-action one, well lubricated by use, working both ways as the case may be.

That form of affection which drives sharp bargains and makes demands, gets a check on the bank in which there is no balance.

There is nothing so costly as something you get for nothing.

You May Need to Access Corporate Credit

by Robert Bain

You may just be starting out with a new business so you aren’t sure what you may need to use corporate credit for. Over the course of daily operations though you will soon come upon many different uses for it. Of course you want to be very wise with what you choose so that you have plenty of it to access when you really need to do so.

Not all business owners can readily access corporate credit due to how they have handled it in the past. This means they have to rely on profits alone to help them get buy. Should they have additional expenses to cover, they better make sure they have money in the bank. There is very little chance of them moving to a new building or buying new equipment until they save up enough money to do so. In them mean time if things go wrong they could be in serious trouble.

You may decide to use your corporate credit to buy land. This can be to build a factory, place a corporate office, or even to have as investment property. You may want to buy cars for your top executives to drive around. Such added perks can help to ensure you get the best people in the industry working for you.

Most types of businesses have to have some types of equipment. It may be just office equipment depending on the type of business you offer. It can be hundreds of thousands of dollars if you have some type of industry you are involved in. You definitely need corporate credit to be able to buy what you need and to keep it operational. As your business grows, you will also need to be able to buy more of it to expand.

Don’t fail to see the importance of advertising your business. You will need to look at various forms including online, billboards, TV, magazines, radio, and any others you wish to pursue. You have to be able to get your messages out there so people will choose you over your competition. Advertising can be costly so don’t fail to have the credit you need in place to pay for the expense.

There is likely to be the issue of travel expenses as well. Most business owners have to travel for business from time to time. It is likely that your employees or at least a handful of them will need to. Something as simple as a business credit card for them will help to ensure they can take care of all the expenses associated with doing such business for you.

Taking care of your corporate credit is very serious. If you don’t do it you will fail to be able to open up the doors to do all of these things. You can end up being your own worst enemy in the business world if you aren’t very careful with the credit you have accessed. Always stay on top of what you have available and what you owe.

In order to make sure you can always access the forms of corporate credit you need though, you have to show you are worthy. As your business grows you will likely need to access higher credit limits. They only way to accomplish this is to be extremely responsible with it from the start. Watch your expenses and always pay your debts on time for the business.

The Art of Conversation

by Kim and Charles Petty

The grand object for which a gentleman exists, is to excel in company. Conversation is the mean of his distinction, the drawing-room the scene of his glory.

In company, though none are “free,” yet all are “equal.” All therefore whom you meet, should be treated with equal respect, although interest may dictate toward each different degrees of attention. It is disrespectful to the inviter to shun any of her guests. Those whom she has honoured by asking to her house, you should sanction by admitting to your acquaintance.

If you meet any one whom you have never heard of before, you may converse with him with entire propriety. The form of “introduction” is nothing more than a statement by a mutual friend that two gentlemen are by rank and manners fit acquaintances for one another. All this may be presumed from the fact, that both meet at a respectable house. This is the theory of the matter. Custom, however, requires that you should take the earliest opportunity afterwards to be regularly presented to such an one.

The great business in company is conversation. It should be studied as art. Style in conversation is as important, and as capable of cultivation as style in writing. The manner of saying things is what gives them their value.

The most important requisite for succeeding here, is constant and unfaltering attention. That which Churchill has noted as the greatest virtue on the stage, is also the most necessary in company, to be “always attentive to the business of the scene.” Your understanding should, like your person, be armed at all points. Never go into society with your mind en deshabille. It is fatal to success to be all absent or distrait. The secret of conversation has been said to consist in building upon the remark of your companion. Men of the strongest minds, who have solitary habits and bookish dispositions, rarely excel in sprightly colloquy, because they seize upon the thing itself, the subject abstractly, instead of attending to the language of other speakers, and do not cultivate verbal pleasantries and refinements. He who does otherwise gains a reputation for quickness, and pleases by showing that he has regarded the observation of others.

It is an error to suppose that conversation consists in talking. A more important thing is to listen discreetly. Mirabeau said, that to succeed in the world, it is necessary to submit to be taught many things which you understand, by persons who know nothing about them. Flattery is the smoothest path to success; and the most refined and gratifying compliment you can pay, is to listen. “The wit of conversation consists more in finding it in others,” says La Bruy,re, “than in showing a great deal yourself: he who goes from your conversation pleased with himself and his own wit, is perfectly well pleased with you. Most men had rather please than admire you, and seek less to be instructed, nay, delighted, than to be approved and applauded. The most delicate pleasure is to please another.”

It is certainly proper enough to convince others of your merits. But the highest idea which you can give a man of your own penetration, is to be thoroughly impressed with his.

Patience is a social engine. To listen, to wait, and to he wearied are the certain elements of good fortune.

If there be any foreigner present at a dinner party, or small evening party, who does not understand the language which is spoken, good breeding requires that the conversation should be carried on entirely in his language. Even among your most intimate friends, never address any one in a language not understood by all the others. It is as bad as whispering.

Never speak to any one in company about a private affair which is not understood by others, as asking how that matter is coming on, &c. In so doing you indicate your opinion that the rest are de trop. If you wish to make any such inquiries, always explain to others the business about which you inquire, if the subject admit of it.

If upon the entrance of a visitor you continue a conversation begun before, you should always explain the subject to the new-comer.

If there is any one in the company whom you do not know, be careful how you let off any epigrams or pleasant little sarcasms. You might be very witty upon halters to a man whose father had been hanged. The first requisite for successful conversation is to know your company well.

There is another precept of a kindred nature to be observed, namely, not to talk too well when you do talk. You do not raise yourself much in the opinion of another, if at the same time that you amuse him, you wound him in the nicest point, his self-love. Besides irritating vanity, a constant flow of wit is excessively fatiguing to the listeners. A witty man is an agreeable acquaintance, but a tiresome friend. “The wit of the company, next to the butt of the company,” says Mrs. Montagu, “is the meanest person in it. The great duty of conversation is to follow suit, as you do at whist: if the eldest hand plays the deuce of diamonds, let not his next neighbour dash down the king of hearts, because his hand is full of honours. I do not love to see a man of wit win all the tricks in conversation.”

In addressing any one, always look at him; and if there are several present, you will please more by directing some portion of your conversation, as an anecdote or statement, to each one individually in turn. This was the great secret of Sheridan’s charming manner. His bon-mots were not numerous.

It is indispensable for conversation to be well acquainted with the current news and the historical events of the last few years. It is not convenient to be quite so far behind the rest of the world in such matters.

Fear and Reason

by Kim and Charles Petty

“In civilized life it has at last become possible for large numbers of people to pass from the cradle to the grave without ever having had a pang of genuine fear. Many of us need an attack of mental disease to teach us the meaning of the word.” William James.

We have all heard the seemingly discriminating remarks that fear is normal and abnormal, and that normal fear is to be regarded as a friend, while abnormal fear should be destroyed as an enemy.

The fact is that no so called normal fear can be named which has not been clearly absent in some people who have had every cause therefor. If you will run over human history in your mind, or look about yea in the present life, you will find here and there persons who, in situations or before objects which ought, as any fearful soul will insist, to inspire the feeling of at least normal self-protecting fear, are nevertheless wholly without the feeling. They possess every feeling and thought demanded except fear. The idea of self-preservation is as strongly present as with the most abjectly timid or terrified, but fear they do not know. This fearless awareness of fear suggesting conditions may be due to several causes. It may result from constitutional make-up, or from long continued training or habituation, or from religious ecstasy, or from a perfectly calm sense of spiritual selfhood which is unhurtable, or from the action of very exalted reason. Whatever the explanation, the fact remains: the very causes which excite fear in most of us, merely appeal, with such people, if at all. to the instinct of self-preservation and to reason, the thought-element of the soul which makes for personal peace and wholeness.

Banish all fear.

It is on such considerations that I have come to hold that all real fear-feeling should and may be banished from our life, and that what we call “normal fear” should be substituted in our language by “instinct” or by “reason,” the element of fear being dropped altogether.

“Everyone can testify that the psychical state called fear consists of mental representations of certain painful results” (James). The mental representations may be very faint as such, but the idea of hurt to self is surely present. If, then, it can be profoundly believed that the real self cannot be hurt; if the reason can be brought to consider vividly and believingly all quieting considerations; if the self can be held consciously in the assurance that the White Life surrounds the true self, and is surely within that self, and will suffer “no evil to come nigh,” while all the instincts of self preservation may be perfectly active, fear itself must be removed “as far as the east is from the west.”

These are the ways, then, in which any occasion for fear may be divided:

As a warning and as a maker of panic. But let us say that the warning should be understood as given to reason, that fear need not appear at all, and that the panic is perfectly useless pain. With these discriminations in mind, we may now go on to a preliminary study of fear.

preliminary study of fear.

Fear is (a) an impulse, (b) a habit, (c) a disease.

Fear, as it exists in man, is a make-believe of sanity, a creature of the imagination, a state of insanity.

Furthermore, fear is, now of the nerves, now of the mind, now of the moral consciousness.

The division depends upon the point of view. What is commonly called normal fear should give place to reason, using the word to cover instinct as well as thought. From the correct point of view all fear is an evil so long as entertained.

Whatever its manifestations, wherever its apparent location, fear is a psychic state, of course, reacting upon the individual in several ways: as, in the nerves, in mental moods, in a single impulse, in a chronic habit, in a totally unbalanced condition. The reaction has always a good intention, meaning, in each case, “Take care! Danger!” You will see that this is so if you will look for a moment at three comprehensive kinds of fear fear of self, fear for self, fear for others. Fear of self is indirectly fear for self danger. Fear for others signifies foresensed or forepictured distress to self because of anticipated misfortune to others. I often wonder whether, when we fear for others, it is distress to self or hurt to them that is most emphatically in our thought.

Fear, then, is usually regarded as the soul’s danger signal. But the true signal is instinctive and thoughtful reason.

Even instinct and reason, acting as warning, may perform their duty abnormally, or assume abnormal proportions. And then we have the feeling of fear. The normal warning is induced by actual danger apprehended by mind in a state of balance and self-control. Normal mind is always capable of such warning. There are but two ways in which so-called normal fear, acting in the guise of reason, may be annihilated: by the substitution of reason for fear, and by the assurance of the white life.

Let it be understood, now, that by normal fear is here meant normal reason real fear being denied place and function altogether. Then we may say that such action of reason is a benefactor to man. It is, with pain and weariness, the philanthropy of the nature of things within us.

One person said: “Tired? No such word in my house!” Now this cannot be a sound and healthy attitude. Weariness, at a certain stage of effort, is a signal to stop work. When one becomes so absorbed in labor as to lose consciousness of the feeling of weariness, he has issued a “hurry call” on death. I do not deny that the soul may cultivate a sublime sense of buoyancy and power; rather do I urge you to seek that beautiful condition; but I hold that when a belief or a hallucination refuses to permit you to hear the warning of nerves and muscles, Nature will work disaster inevitably. Let us stand for the larger liberty which is joyously free to take advantage of everything Nature may offer for true well-being. There is a partial liberty which tries to realize itself by denying various realities as real; there is a higher liberty which really realizes itself by conceding such realities as real and by using or disusing them as occasion may require in the interest of the self at its best. I hold this to be true wisdom: to take advantage of everything which evidently promises good to the self, without regard to this or that theory, and freely to use all things, material or immaterial, reasonable or spiritual. I embrace your science or your method; but I beg to ignore your bondage to philosophy or to consistency. So I say that to normal health the weary-sense is a rational command to replenish exhausted nerves and muscles.

It is not liberty, it is not healthful, to declare, “There is no pain!” Pain does exist, whatever you affirm, and your affirmation that it does not is proof that it does exist, for why (and how) declare the non-existence of that which actually is non-existent? But if you say, “As a matter of fact I have pain, but I am earnestly striving to ignore it, and to cultivate thought-health so that the cause of pain may be removed,” that is sane and beautiful. This is the commendable attitude of the Bible character who cried: “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” To undertake swamping pain with a cloud of psychological fog that is to turn anarchist against the good government of Nature. By pain Nature informs the individual that he is somewhere out of order. This warning is normal. The feeling becomes abnormal in the mind when imagination twangs the nerves with reiterated irritation, and Will, confused by the discord and the psychic chaos, cowers and shivers with fear.

I do not say there is no such thing as fear. Fear does exist. But it exists in your life by your permission only, not because it is needful as a warning against “evil.”

Fear is induced by unduly magnifying actual danger, or by conjuring up fictitious dangers through excessive and misdirected psychical reactions. This also may be taken as a signal of danger, but it is a falsely-intentioned witness, for it is not needed, is hostile to the individual because it threatens self-control and it absorbs life’s forces in useless and destructive work when they ought to be engaged in creating values.

Keep It Within Your Budget

by Peter Wilson

While there are always more things to spend money on and different things which we need in one form or another, it’s interesting how little attention we pay to something so essential in our homes like our floors! Without a floor we would be walking the plank on the beams of our homes construct and while they should not be something that we need to replace often, when they are replaced we should not short change the program else we decrease the value of our home and also hasten the time when we will need to replace them again.

Keep It Within Your Budget

By the same token of you not shortchanging your floor situation you also shouldn’t spend too much money. You don’t want to have to go into default on your mortgage just because you spent too much money on your floor! If you are able to walk the tightrope of being able to have a decent floor replacement like linoleum without getting so egregious that you are broke at the end, then you have truly won.

Another thing that you can do to really improve the quality of your home flooring situation is do the replacement yourself. While this is not something someone with two left feet should attempt to undertake, if you are able to wield a hammer and follow instructions, replacing the floor is something you can do yourself. If you do this you will be able to get better components and you will also be able to make sure that things are done to your own specifications. An added insurance against any potential hazards would be if you employ that “friend” of yours who is very handy.

Chew the Fat and Make Your Floor the Best

If you are able to winnow away the outside influences which only seek to drive your project into the gutter and you are able to cut through the clutter you should be alright. If you need to employ the assistance of an expert one way to do it on the cheap is call in for a consultation. An honest person would be up front and say that they have no intent on using the services of the professional but would pay them for their time; the less honest of us may enter into the agreement with gray terminology and unclear intentions. But that’s up to you.

Understanding Corporate Credit

by Robert Bain

One of the most common misconceptions relating to corporate credit is that it works just like personal credit. In many was it does but there are also some significant differences that you need to be aware of. Understanding them will help you to get the most benefit from the corporate credit that you secure.

Just like personal credit it can be hard to establish at first. You will also have a business credit rating and score. So paying your bills on time and not having a high balance on available sources of credit such as credit cards and lines of credit is very important. You also want to keep a very close eye on your corporate credit to make sure it hasn’t been compromised.

Of course that is just the beginning of things so don’t give yourself too big of a pat on the back just yet. Do you know what is on your business credit report? At least once a year you should be examining it very thoroughly. You don’t want to become the victim of identity theft, in house theft, or even data entry errors that can occur with credit bureaus. All of these scenarios can be very time consuming and problematic for you to resolve.

You need to let lenders know you are very serious about establishing your business for the long haul. They have seen their share of fly by night ones that they aren’t going to be comfortable otherwise. While you are establishing your corporate credit this is vital to your success. Be confident and passionate when you talk to them and show them your plans on paper. Being incorporated is also a step in the right direction.

It is very important that you are organized and prepared. Find out what type of information the lender is likely going to ask you for. This way you can gather it and not have to wait as long to get a response from them. It also shows the lender that you are on top of things and serious about making this happen for your business.

Most business owners wait until they really need corporate credit before they start searching for it. As a result they may accept terms that they aren’t really happy with. You should try to establish a line of credit and a credit card for your business right away. They will be the easiest forms of corporate credit to get and you can use them to build some type of history.

Think carefully before you access the corporate credit that you have been extended. You don’t want to blow that open door shut with boards and nails deep into it. Prepare for unexpected expenses and strive to keep overhead low. This way you can depend on profits to be there. Some businesses bring in a ton of money but then they have so much going back out they are in trouble with their finances.

The more you understand about these aspects of corporate credit the easier applying for it, accessing it, and caring for it will be. Good decisions in the area of corporate credit are vital to your overall success. This should always be something you keep a close watch over regardless of the type of business you operate or how much money you make from your operation.
