Weekend $$ Plans?

Weekend $$ Plans?
|Thu, 02-09-2012 - 10:55am
Wow, its Thursday again,
This week has just flown by. Lots of after school/work activities. Tonight a winter concert for one child and picking up the other child from drama practice.

Frugal weekend for me. I plan to reorganize my spice rack and establish a lifecycle management system for it. No more old spice for me! I also found a recipe for Moroccan Chicken that I'm going to try on Saturday. And I did a quick rough-draft of my taxes last night but I need to read through the section on medical claims to see if I have enough receipts to claim anything. Can teeth be included? I need to check. Then I can finalize them and file next week.
All in all a frugal, boring weekend for me.

No idea, not too spendy I suspect.
Nothing much on Friday planned, running a 5k on Sunday near home, paid the $25 already, nothing Sunday but I plan to do taxes.
We did spend $72 on groceries we needed this week already. Shouldn't need much more.
Would love to get some flakes in soon!

I am working so hard now, because I have to deliver a lecture tomorrow, and it's gotta be good. This weekend I just want to sit at home and watch some movies, or swim a bit.

Drinking! Lol! I have had a HELL week and BF's friend is coming in from out of town to go out so I think we will hit to local pub tomorrow. I am so okay with that. I am frustrated and overtired and all in all in a not so good place, so I can use a night out at the pub! The rest of the weekend will be recovery and cleaning!
|Fri, 02-10-2012 - 7:08am
Oh Bex, I'll be drinking as well. I thought this goes without saying!! ;-)

Thanks, Kate! I think the talk went over OK. I am giving myself pats on the back. Pat pat pat pat pat.
I rewarded myself by playing in the bathtub with nice warm water. Now I'm making some spaghetti. After the food is done I'll take it with me back to the tub.
Hope you guys are winding down from the busy week!

Frugal! Yay! I am doing grad school full time on top of working full time though, so I admit, I am too busy to cause trouble for myself. Cleaned and studied yesterday, I had dinner plans with a friend on Friday and she canceled and I was thrilled - no money spent. I like to study at the coffee shop so that is about $3, but worth the concentration. :) Last night I did an on demand movie and $6 of take out. Today it could get scary - in between studying and doing some house projects, I am going to home depot for a few things I need. Oh, I forgot, I did go to Pier One yesterday and bought my Dad his birthday gift (it is in May and I saw some great things on clearance) and bought $13 worth of stuff for me. That wasn't the plan, but I am ok with it, I did a snowball to the mortgage (not a huge one, but still). I am frustrated that I found out there could be a potentially negative ding on my credit and I am diligent about it (even though my score is still low) and I tried to look into it this morning but can't seem to figure it out....yet!

Tips and Activities to Help Nurture Kids Creativity at Home
Sparking children's interest in art and ability to create it can be loads of family fun – and affordable. Detroit educators share smart ideas to get started.
Content brought to you by Excellent Schools Detroit
If you think "making art" is hard, you're probably thinking too hard. Want to get some doable – and fun! – advice on nurturing your young artist at home? Education Detroit picked the brains of three Detroit art education pros: Roberta "Bobbi" Lucas with the El Arte early learning program at nonprofit Living Arts in Southwest Detroit; Carol Hofgartner, director of Art Road, a Livonia-based nonprofit that teaches art at two Detroit public elementary schools; and Ruth Goldfaden, a middle-school art teacher at Clippert Academy of Detroit Public Schools (her students' award-winning float ideas have wound up in a few America's Thanksgiving Parade processions in Detroit).
Dedicated art space
Create a nook for kids to create in. Start with a folding table, Lucas says, with decorated old boxes tucked under to store paint brushers, markers and glue. Try a porch or unused space as a teen-only "coffee/tea house" or "off-line chat room," says Lucas, where they can "write, paint and share poetry, stories, songs." They can even host a "parent night," where they share their work with you.
Recycle stuff
Hubcaps and acrylic paint are a great combo, says Hofgartner, who did this project with kids at Detroit's Heidelberg Project. They also painted old kicks for a Shoes of Others project – then asked children where their shoes could take them. Where to start? Simply raid the recyclable bin. Cereal boxes and empty paper rolls make great mini cities. Old T-shirts also are prime canvases.
Visual inspiration
Browse Google Images or visit a library and simply see what hits kids right, Hofgartner says. "That'll help visually just get your juices flowing."
Community influence
Free festivals are great ways to taste different foods, art and music – and many have free kids' activities, Goldfaden says. She asks her tween students, "What would you like to see in your dream neighborhood?" to get them thinking about float designs. They might explore parks, stores and libraries. Kids' sketches that turned into winning floats included Cinco de Mayo dancers at a fest and a community garden bursting with flowers, fruits and veggies.
Creating personalities
A box of dress-up clothes or fabric scraps can inspire kids "to create characters from favorite books or stories or games," Lucas says. Urge kids to invent their own characters, she says, or create story extensions.
Sounds and tracks
Make music and beats with drums, coffee cans or Home Depot utility buckets for a impromptu "stomp" band," Lucas adds. Recording basic instrumental tracks lets kids add their own lyrics or chants. "Ideas can be silly and simple," she says, "like, 'Let's write a song about food – or washing the car!'"
Living Arts also has done projects where kids experiment with "photo shoots," setting a scene and snapping pix of themselves or others. How would they look if you said, "Act casual"? Thrilled? Bummed? Like a visionary artist?
Discuss and display
Hone in on specifics when it comes to your kids' work, Hoftgarner says, like, "I love that color! Why did you use it?" or "Why is that zebra talking to the elephant" – vs. a generic, "Oh, I like it." It gets kids thinking and engaged. Finally, she says, tack those masterpieces to the fridge! "The more you value something, the more the child's going to value it."

News Review: Health, Ag, Sports, and Entertainment
By Ben Kieffer & Ben Stanton
From infectious disease to sports and entertainment, River to River host Ben Kieffer has a news roundup show. He'll talk with the Director of the Iowa Department of Public Health about recent outbreaks of cyclospora and West Nile virus. Also, hear a little sports: Iowa's Zach Johnson is competing as the defending champion at the John Deere Classic Golf Tournament in the Quad Cities, and many Iowans reacted to University of Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz being listed as one of the worst coaches by Sports Illustrated recently. And Justin Bieber fans were upset that his concert in Des Moines started late.

It's a new year. The holidays are behind us. Christmas is over. The new year festivities are finished. The holiday decorations should be put away (unless you are like me and haven't done it yet). And there's a little bit of hesitation to leave 2009 behind. Plus, a little sadness that December and all the celebrations are over. Not to mention, back to work.
But then, there's the excitement of SNOW! Weather forecasters give you a few teasers here and there, "The chance of snow this Thursday," or "We may see a few flurries Sunday." And it doesn't dish out. But today, January 7th, I think we're going to see a few inches for sure. The Cumberland Plateau has been getting pounded since noon today, and we're seeing some sprinkles here in Knoxville ourselves. And that makes me very excited!
Happy and ready to embrace the new year ahead!

Sam Robson should open the batting for England alongside Alastair Cook in the first Test with Sri Lanka, according to Eoin Morgan.
Morgan believes his Middlesex team-mate has done enough to be given his debut after a stellar past 12 months for his county and England Lions.
The likes of Michael Carberry, Joe Root, Nick Compton and Varun Chopra are potentially all in the frame along with Robson, who had a fine 2013 with his county, then shone for the Lions on their winter tours of Australia and Sri Lanka.
The Australia-born opener - who has decided he wants to play for England rather than the country of his birth - has started the 2014 county season well too, scoring a big century last week.
Morgan missed most of last season, away at the IPL or injured, and last week he batted for the first time with the 24-year-old opener. And the pair shared a double-century stand against a Nottinghamshire attack boasting Australia Test star Peter Siddle.
The Irishman liked what he saw: "It's the first time I've ever batted with him, and it was brilliant.
"I thoroughly enjoyed watching him play. He led our innings from start to finish and was the backbone. I was very impressed by him.
"He was very calm at the crease, knew his game inside-out - and his ruthlessness in just wanting to score runs was very impressive.
"I think he has scored a lot of runs and has proved himself that he is in a good enough position to take his place. If I was picking the (England) team tomorrow, I would pick him."

Proscan PLCD5092A 50-inch Class 1080p LCD HDTV Independence Day Sale
The USA celebrates their anniversary of Independence every 4th of July. Since it's a festivity, great discounts are offered by electronic store, gift shops and even restaurants. As an early July 4 treat, low-priced electronic gadgets are available at the TigerDirect Black Friday June Edition.
For those looking for 4th of July 50-inch LCD Sales, the Samsung UN50ES6500F 3D 1080p LED Smart TV at Best Buy and the Proscan PLCD5092A 50″ 1080p LCD HDTV at Tiger Direct are both offered at low prices.
Proscan PLCD5092A 50-inch HDTV Specs List:
- 50″ LCD with 16:9 Aspect Ratio
- 3000:1 Contrast Ratio
- 1920×1080 Pixels Resolution
- 120Hz Refresh Rate
- 8.5 ms Response Time
- 1080p Signal Compatibility
- 3 HDMI Ports
- Inputs: RF Input, AV, YPbPr, PC Input
The Proscan PLCD5092A 50″ Class LCD HDTV retails for $699.99 regular price. However, it was given a huge price cut for Tiger Direct's Black Friday June Edition which is quite like an early July 4 electronics sale.
At Tiger Direct, 1 New Proscan PLCD5092A 50″ Class LCD HDTV is given a $150 instant savings which turns the price into $549.99. But there is more for shoppers – a $50 rebate that is available until July 5, 2012.
In short, shoppers will only have to pay $499.99 after rebate. This is even cheaper than the Element ELGFW551 55inch Widescreen LCD HDTV that sold for about $900.
Since this is a cheap and basic LCD TV, it lack high-end features like Wi-Fi, Smart Apps, 3D capability, internet connectivity and other high-tech stuff that make HDTVs pricey.

For a Uniform Certificate of Authority Corporate Amendment for the redomestication of an insurer the only state specific items are the payment of a $25.00 fee for recordation of the amendments to the articles of incorporation. The original Certificate of Authority issued by the LDI to the company must be returned only if the city of domicile appears on that Certificate.
If no amendment to the articles of incorporation was required in order to change the city within the state of domicile and if the original Certificate of Authority issued to the company by the LDI does not include the city of domicile, then no state specific items are required.
If the application is submitted electronically using the National Association of Insurance Commissioner Uniform Certificate of Authority electronic submission process or via email to email@example.com, the only "hard copy" filing requirements for the application would be for the payment of the recordation fee and the return of the original Certificate of Authority (if applicable). There is no need to submit any other portion of the application hard copy if a complete application is filed electronically. However, on all imaged documents that require notarization or certification, the notarization or certification seal must be clearly visible on the image.
Louisiana law (La. R.S. 22:339) requires that a foreign or alien insurer authorized to transact business in Louisiana must file certified copies of any amendments to the articles of incorporation within thirty days of the effective date of the amendment and La. R.S. 22:337 provides for penalties for any company which fails to file the documents within sixty days of the effective date of the amendment.

Ron Mathieu on What's Next at Clinton National After Hawker Beechcraft
Posted 4/29/2013 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Despite the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Hawker Beechcraft, the company continues to pay on its nearly $600,000-a-year lease with Clinton National Airport, said the airport's executive director, Ron Mathieu.
The company, now known as just Beechcraft, emerged from Chapter 11 in February. It continues to lease 247,500 SF at the airport for $587,626.05 per year in an agreement that originally was to end in 2037. Mathieu said the airport had agreed to Beechcraft's request to alter the lease deal to allow either side to terminate the agreement with notice of at least 90 days.
The company had manufactured jets and pistons, but as Beechcraft it has shed itself of the jet business, Mathieu said, and the company's airport location was home to a jet finishing facility.
Beechcraft, which maintains a small staff at the airport, is seeking a buyer for its assets there, and Mathieu is hopeful one will be found.
"They clearly believe that they have the ability to bring on another company that will take over that operation, and we're encouraging them to do that," he said.
If Beechcraft can't find a buyer, then at some point the airport will move to market the facility, which Mathieu called "top-notch." The land and some of the facilities belong to the airport, and if Beechcraft decamped without finding a buyer, the airport would retain improvements like a jet-painting hangar made at the site by Hawker Beechcraft.
The Little Rock plant employed about 900 in October 2008, which was near its peak. Mostly, Mathieu said, he's hoping that whoever buys the assets will bring back some of those jobs.

I am confused and i need help this topic is affecting my islam please Help !! about cause and effect
my question is related to this link right here posted on sunnipathhttp://spa.qibla.com/issue_view.asp?...D=3752&CATE=24*******and to be honest it is getting me quite angry because either i am stupid and losing my common sense or they didnt explain it in simpler way i tried to read articles in there website related to it but i only got confused more so PLEASE SOME ONE MAKE THIS VERY SIMPLE AND EXPLAIN IT TO ME AS SIMPLE AS YOU CAN AND EXAMPLES WOULD BE GOOD TOO.. the part that is really getting to me is this part -----This is why Shaykh Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri (Allah have mercy on him), the great spiritual guide and master of the sciences of faith (aqida) from Damascus, explained,*******
�Taking means is necessary, and denying that they are effective is necessary. Whoever negates means is denying the Wisdom of Allah, and whoever relies upon means is associating others with Allah.�------------ I MEAN COMMON WHAT DOES THAT MEAN SERIOUSLY U CAN'T JUST SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND EXPECT EVERY ONE OR ME ATLEAST TO UNDERSTAND THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR TALKING ABOUT SHIRK, THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME AND I CANT EVEN CONCENTRATE ON LIFE, OR ISLAM ETC. BECAUSE OF THIS. (sunnipath love talking so sophisticated give it a break seriously its about the religion not a university make it easy for even slow people like me and kids can understand - the Prophet (S) explained to the sahabas in simple way not this way) astaghfrullah
- what does this mean? so if i drink water does it mean that the water is really not quenching my thirst or Allah is quenching my thirst? and if i believe that water is quenching my thirst does it mean i am depending on the means and committing shirk?*******
-for example if i am thirsty and i depend on water to quench my thirst or if i am hungry and i depend on food to fill me up does it mean i have committed shirk? please explain*******
-what is required what is obligatory to believe i dont want no philosophical stuff just what do i need to believe and what do i need to rely on in order to save myself from falling into shirk?*******
=what exactly is it that i have to do in order to constitute shirk related to this topic on depending on the means?
-does this also mean a muslim that gambles for a living or a muslim who sells drugs, or steals for a living is really committing shirk because he is trusting and depending on the means he is taking to provide for him his money instead of depending on Allah? (since if he was depending on Allah he would not take any haram means so doesn't it mean he is actually depending on the means so isn't he commiting shirk?) please explain simply and inshAllah with examples also because i am really not getting this and i really want to. please don't get the wrong idea i just am very depressed after this any will will be apreciated from a person that understands this topic. thank you in advance may Allah reward you all

Re: I am confused and i need help this topic is affecting my islam please Help !! about cause and ef
Only pray to Allah. Ignore that site.
Praying to other than Allah is shirk.

Re: I am confused and i need help this topic is affecting my islam please Help !! about cause and ef
agree, thats the crux of it.
example: the physical means for energising yourself to pray, work etc is food. the rizq you are granted comes from Allah. hence although the food fuels you it is ultimately Allah swt that gives the food the qualities it carries, ie protein, calories, things that energise you etc. to say that 'only the food gives you energy' may be shirk as Allah swt blesses us with health, strength etc Re: la hawla wala quwatta illa billa.... if that makes any sense......
I have a question also: is supplication/dua a means? eg: you want something but it is totally out of your power to acquire it, so the only thing you can do is ask Allah for it......... any suggestions/advice?

FTD is never found with a decent pen in his pocket. Whilst his plummy contemporaries pull out beautiful Mont Blanc pieces, no doubt given to them for some achievement by a friend or family member, I'm often without a pen at all, or some broken biro that I've chewed the end off.
Don't get me wrong, I've got a couple of nice pens (one, very nice bought from my Grandparents), but they inevitably run out of ink and I inevitably have lost the last batch of £10 a pop cartridges I bought for them.
I've never been able to hold on to a pen for long since I was a kid.
My solution was generally two fold: 1) smile at a friendly usher and be provided with a piece of bulk bought Court Service stationery, this is now impossible since Court Staff were forbade pens and now must do with eco friendly economical pencils OR 2) hunt around the robing room/advocates' room for some abandoned ill functioning writing implement.
But nowadays, I have a new solution. The free biro. Ah yes, that little piece of plastic marketing that adorns many a solicitor's conference desk. I now collect them, in large quantities, probably to the extent that ought to be frowned upon.
Thing is, that little piece of plastic represents the demise of our jusitce system.
No, haven't lost my mind, honest.
But it's back again, the great Solicitor Advocate v Barrister debate.
In short, solicitor advocates are qualified solicitors who take an extra qualification during practice which entitles them to practice in all Courts all the way up to the Supreme Court. They can qualify in civil, or criminal law, or both.
Solicitor Advocates complain that they are treated rudely by the Bar and are assumed to be somehow inferior.
Barristers complain that Solicitor Advocates take briefs which they are not capable of doing and often put profits before representation.
The reality
I have seen barristers be incredibly rude to and about solicitor advocates. I had one particularly unpleasant member of the Bar bark at me for having lunch, in public, with a solicitor advocate.
I have had solicitor advocate friends complain to me that they are pressured into taking cases that they don't feel ready for or are not capable of. And, I've seen solicitor advocates sit behind barristers in cases, commanding large fees where they have done nothing and are merely paid for sitting there.
As a junior junior, I've grown up with solicitor advocates. 'Favourite solicitor' one of the people who has helped my career most has become a solicitor advocate recently. I don't dislike solicitor advocates, I don't feel superior to them, they just do a different job then I do.
I recently co-defended with a solicitor advocate, I was first on the indictment so took the lead. When we got to the end of the trial and the jury went out he told me that it was his first Crown Court trial but he hadn't wanted to tell me as he worried I might have taken advantage.
I felt incredibly sad at that. I would have helped out all I could, other members of the Bar would have done too I hope? A number of times in the Magistrates' I have co-defended with people doing their first trial, they've told me and I've helped out, especially baby barristers.
I've said to 'Favourite solicitor' if she wants to do her first Crown Court trial with me then I am happy to co-defend with her. Am I a traitor? Am I taking work away from the Bar? I don't think so, as I know she'd only ever take on something she was capable of doing.
Back to the biro
The problem with the free biros is what is represents. Big firms of solicitors doing big quantities of work. That's what the Government wants and they want them to do it on the cheap.
That inevitably will mean that more and more advocacy is kept in house at solicitors firms and that barristers will be used less. Bigger isn't always better, often means less individual attention for clients.
The free biro is: remember us, we gave you a pen. Not, remember us because we have a relationship and represent your interests to the best of our ability.
Standards count when you're playing with somebody's liberty/livelihood.
My reality
I don't worry about solicitor advocates. Why? Because I'm going to do my job to the best of my ability, put in the hours and hope to be noticed.
The end of the Bar is not nigh, the end of the Criminal Bar might be. But, if the Bar as a concept was outdated, it would have gone already, like Sergeants-at-Law. Look at the other end of things, the Commercial Bar is booming. If Commercial Solicitors wanted to do that job, they would and they could, they don't – why?
And this is my objection, not to solicitor advocates, but to the 'bulk buy legal services provider':
Independence. Solicitor advocates are for the most part employed by their partners. In-house barristers are the same. They are open to pressure from individuals more senior to take on certain cases, or conduct them in a certain way. On the prosecution side of things, the lack of independent advocates creates incredibly odd situations – who has ownership of cases? Quite recently my opponent, at the independent bar took a view about the case, despite her seniority she had to take instructions from an in-house CPS lawyer who knew nothing about the case.
Independence has two further advantages: it means fresh eyes on a case and it means that Court advocates will have a wider range of experience. Why? Because they are not limited to a particular pool of clients, police officers, Judges in a small number of court centres. Independent provides a breadth of experience which helps for continuing learning and development.
Money, money, money: I'm not allowed to give kick backs, or negotiate deals. The Government has set a rate (they get a good deal!) for the services of a qualified Court advocate. That rate takes into account the amount of witnesses, pages of evidence and other matters which will have an impact on how long I have to prepare a house.
If I am giving a bung to a solicitor, or there is a certain arrangement where someone has got an eye on how much they need to make out of a case, then I am not giving my client the best possible service as then I'll need to take on more work to fill the hole the bung made and so on.
A client, facing imprisonment or the loss of their livelihood, should get the best possible court advocate. That advocate should be picked for their skill and experience and how they will communicate with that client.
Because, that's how a commercial solicitor chooses a barrister for their commercial client!
Money is no object
I know money is tight for everyone, but the solicitors and barristers engaged in dodgy financial arrangements are just hastening one thing. That's big, factory firms, defending clients as cheaply as possible.
Criminal Defence PLC, keeping the overheads low. Keeping the standards low.
But you get a free biro.
So it's not about barrister v solicitor advocate. It's lawyers who put clients first v lawyers who put their pockets first.
p.s – the two firms I nick pens from the most are highly rated and very rarely use in house advocates – irony, the bloody irony.

|Stockster Quotes Documentation
How do I use the module?
Create a new module (using Joomla's Module Manager) and assign it to the pages you want it to appear
Define the stocks to track
Then simply provide a comma-separated list of stock symbols.
Choosing the information to view
Then decide which information (symbol, name, prev. close, open, last trade, change, change in percent...) of the stock symbols you want to show in the stocks table. You can define the order by choosing the appropiate information in the respective data entry (from 1 to 12 possible).
You can decide whether/which headers should be supplied for the according data entry. Alternatively, you can decide to not show any headers at all.
Adapting the design
Stockster Quotes comes with a number of pre-defined designs. This helps you to quickly deploy the module in your site.
Of course, you can also use a custom, CSS generated design. Then use the "Clean design" option to suppress the standard formatting and go ahead to include the formatting in the template of your site.
How do I find out the stock symbols to use?
Stockster Quotes uses aata from Yahoo Finance. Therefore, you need to use the symbols as specified by this page.
The simplest way to find out the symbol is the Symbol Lookup from Yahoo! Finance.
The symbol to use in Stockster Quotes comes on the mentioned site right after the name. Often, it is the local symbol followed by a dot and a country code (e.g. DE for Germany). Alterantively the local symbol is followed by a dot and a city code (e.g. TO for Toronto).
How do change the direction of the table?
Simply use the "table orientation" setting.

Why use professionally written real estate letters?
To eliminate those annoying gaps between commission checks.
You probably already know why you experience those gaps in income - they happen because when you're busy with current clients you don't find time to follow up with new leads. Then when the final transaction closes, you have to start all over from a state of virtual "unemployment."
Well-written real estate letters used in a drip marketing campaign can put an end to those gaps between checks.
Those panicky times of "temporary unemployment" happen because you simply can't find the time to prospect for new clients or to follow up with every lead. And it's easy to see why. When you're working hard trying to get everything done for transactions in progress, there aren't many extra hours in a day.
But that doesn't make it less important. The prospecting, marketing, and follow-up you do today is what will lead to income 60 or 90 days from now.
And that's why I wrote a series of real estate letters for you that can work on autopilot to perform two vital functions:
Whether you prospect from lists such as the default notices, from inquiries to your website, from expired notices in your MLS, or from FSBO signs, or you've chosen a geographic farm area, these real estate letters build trust before your prospects even meet you...
And more and more, success is all about building trust. It's about showing people that you're interested in helping them - and not just interested in your own income. It's about demonstrating your abilities, and about showing that you're reliable.
When people haven't met you in person, it's about sending the right words in every real estate letter you mail or e-mail.
Now - Real Estate Prospecting Letters You Can Use Today
Now you can send those "right words" - starting this very day - and you don't have to take the time to write them.
Introducing: The Real Estate Letter Sets
Now you can choose from an assortment of real estate prospecting letters, pre-written by a professional real estate copywriter, and ready to personalize and plug into your autoresponder or use in postal mail for drip marketing.
If you've got one spare hour, you can put these letters to work this very day.
The letters in each set are designed to give your prospects good information, while at the same time demonstrating why they need you. Each letter builds upon the last to reinforce this idea. And, because each letter offers advice and information rather than high pressure sales, each serves to increase their trust in you. But of course each one does invite them to call or e-mail to get in touch.
That does mean that when they contact you personally, you'll have to make some time to talk with them. But talking to someone who has raised their hand to say "yes, I need you" is different from following up on lukewarm leads. These are people who are ready to take action.
Marte, thank you for writing such fresh sales and prospecting letters for today's real estate agent! Your unique writing style is professional but very personable as well.
I'm confident using these letters will position me to help more homeowners with their real estate needs.

The post Businesses Need To Buy All The Necessary Domain Names appeared first on Bloggergeeze.]]>
The territory that a business purchases online when they buy a domain is space that they are taking from their competitors. The competition is going to build up territory to take away customers, and a business should make sure they are reacting to the competition online.
Sales will increase when a business has a range of domains that people could land on. The best way for a customer to be drawn to the business is to give them a reason to visit the business. Each of the URLs that a business owns will bring people back to their main site through web searches or incorrect typing. Sales are made when customers find a website they like, but they cannot like a website they have never seen.
A business that purchases multiple domains can sell those domains in the future when they have full ownership. The business owns territory that other people want, and the business can profit from every website that it sells. There are times when these websites will produce advertising money, but there are other times when the business can improve cash flow simply by selling the website URL.
When businesses are investing in property online, they are making purchases that will profit them one way or another. Some businesses will make a passive income on the websites that they own, and other businesses will sell the websites they own to make some ready cash. Consider each new URL as a property that can be flipped for the business' benefit. The main URL is a mainstay for the business, but every other URL has profit potential.

The post Solutions For Online Stores appeared first on Bloggergeeze.]]>
There are several important features that every online store should have in order to successfully convert website traffic into sales. First of all, products need to be listed in an orderly way. Catalogs can be generated and filled with items that are being sold. Descriptions, photos and videos should be added to each product listing. Additionally, there should be a smooth navigation menu for shoppers to explore. Products have to be displayed in an organized way.
A shopping cart is perhaps one of the most critical features of an online store. Customers can virtually add and remove products with a single click. Carts can be programmed to allow shoppers to change the quantity of items by typing in whole numbers. After a shopper has selected all of the desirable products, it is time to proceed to the checkout. Payment processing systems have to be installed onto an eCommerce platform. Credit cards can be processed easily as the shoppers enter basic information such as the card number, expiration date and security code on the back. For extra security, some payment processing systems may prompt the shoppers to enter the zip code of the billing address associated with the card that is being used to make the purchase.
Webmasters need to use third party merchant accounts in order to receive money that has been processed by the payment processors. It may take several days for funds to arrive in the merchant account. Analytic sales reports are also vital to any eCommerce operation. Webmasters need to have access to detailed reports on all of the items that are being explored, sold and returned. Statistics can be used to improve the marketing and operational strategies for running an online store. Hiring eCommerce consultants is an excellent idea for online store owners who'd like to optimize sales. For example, some consultation services might use search engine optimization to bring in more potential shoppers to an online shop. Social media integration might also be suggested as a way to boost sales.

The post Casinos and their web design appeared first on Bloggergeeze.]]>
When taking the first glimpse of an online casino website, the visual aspects typically pop out first at users. For instance, colour can have a large impact on the success of an online casino site. If the site chooses to use colours that are bright and hurt the eyes, users may not wish to use the site. Also, music isn't a requirement for a site to be appealing. Many users do not like coming to a site as it blares loud music which can be seen by the recent influx of plugins to combat auto-playing music; therefore, not adding this feature can make more people be drawn to a certain online casino site. It is important that these aspects be considered given the large amount of competition in this industry.
Game selection is another factor that goes into designing an online casino site. This is probably the most important area to some players and can make a huge difference in determining which players will join the site. Some sites such as Gaming Club have been around for around 20 years now and thus game selection has naturally grown. Users want to easily find this information so when the design includes a manageable and easy navigable design, this only helps.
The best sites have well thought out organization systems which means that users to the site can easily find information. All too often some users go to a site and have to search and search to find an answer to their question and sometimes, they may not even be able to obtain an answer. The best online casino sites have been designed with categories in mind and well written categories means the information is correctly dispersed across the site and can be found easily.

The post 3 Reasons to Use an Online Lead Generation Service appeared first on Bloggergeeze.]]>
To give your business a quick boost you can choose to work with a professional lead generation service. These online marketing companies supply a steady stream of warm prospects to your business.
The number one rule in lead generation is to make sure the leads are highly targeted to your specific area of expertise. Leads that come to the website from your local area are people interested in getting information on your offerings. Many are ready to buy once they establish you are legitimate.
Attracting local customers requires a focus on optimizing your site for specific keywords and content that is appealing to consumers. A knowledgeable company that utilizes the latest search engine optimization techniques can help your site rank higher. Better site rankings translate into more people coming to your site and checking out your offers.
When your site has been optimized to bring in prospects from your city and surrounding areas, you'll find that these visitors are more likely to buy from you. Achieving better conversion rates is a topic that you should discuss with your web services provider. The reason to focus attention on conversion is that good leads can be wasted unless your content is relevant and useful.
When you have a team of online professionals managing all of the lead generation details they usually generate a regular report. This report is a result of tracking traffic statistics and analyzing data related to online marketing efforts on your behalf. Tracking reports provide current data that shows you exactly what lead generation methods are working.
By doing a search for the best local SEO services for businesses, you can find some great companies that can generate steady business leads. Local search leads are better for your bottom line than general visitors that are not ready to purchase.

The post Best Online Payment Systems Today appeared first on Bloggergeeze.]]>
On this article, we list and gauge what we think are the best online payment systems today. With literally tens of available options, with some free and some paid, we try our best to highlight what we believe are going to benefit you the most.
Arguably the king of the hill when it comes to today's online payment systems, PayPal is the world's go-to payment acquirer, processing over $4 billion payments every year. Established in 1998, it is now an international e-commerce partner performing payment processing for online vendors, auction sites, personal usage, safe and secure deposits at Royal Vegas. It has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of eBay for 12 years now.
PayPal takes 4.4% + $0.30 per transaction and asks for zero setup or monthly fees.
A subsidiary of Amazon, Amazon Payments provides a similar and competing alternative to PayPal. Complementing the vast user base of Amazon.com, the payment facility gives users the same checkout facility available on its mother website, which is great news especially for budding entrepreneurs who wish to sell internationally. Available for consumers, businesses and even developers, Amazon Payments provides a multitude of offerings for all sorts of applications.
To compete with PayPal, Amazon charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction over $10 but for under that amount, users are charged 5.0% + $0.05.
Another PayPal alternative, 2Checkout combines both merchant and payment gateways into a unified platform, with additional features such as shopping cart integration and recurring billing features.
2Checkout charges a 5.5% + $0.45 transaction rate, a tad more expensive than competitor PayPal but with more features and options especially for merchants.
Square has the grand potential of one-upping PayPal by integrating credit card payments, point of sale systems and e-commerce into one central and rather cheap platform. Using its revolutionary card reader for mobile devices, the company enables merchants, big or small, to accept credit card transactions and integrate everything into their inventory and financial accounting.
Square has no signup, activation or monthly fees, but rather, users are charged 2.75% per swipe or online sale and 3.5% + $0.15 per manual transaction.

The post Tips for Using an FTP appeared first on Bloggergeeze.]]>
Before using the FTP, make sure that you put all of your files in the correct folders so that you quickly and easily know where to find them. You also want to keep a copy on your machine. This way, you can work with them offline, adjusting things and making changes until you get it all to be just right. You can then upload the new files and instantly put those changes on your site, rather than making the changes while you are online.
You may even want to structure your whole site on your computer, including the data folders that the pages will use, so that it is all set up to run. With one massive upload, you can put everything in place and launch your site. You do not have to play around with the structure or make sure that files and folders are being uploaded to the right places because you already know that they are.

The post Mobile App, Mobile Gadgets And The Internet appeared first on Bloggergeeze.]]>
According to an estimate by the ITU, or the International Telecommunications Union, there are 2.1 billion mobile web users in the world. That's an astounding 29.5% of the global world population, or 1 out of 3 humans. Mobile broadband has grown 40% annually in the past 3 years, with mobile outnumbering fixed broadband 3:1.
Worldwide, the US leads 4G network subscribers with 62.5 million, followed by Japan and South Korea. For 3G, China leads the way with 325.5 million subscribers, followed by Italy, Japan and UK.
In terms of actual mobile web users, China is also still king, with more mobile internet users than any other country. According to CNNIC or China Internet Network Information Center, the country has a total of 464 million mobile internet users. However, measuring the percentage of mobile subscribers accessing the web at least once a month, Japan leads with 47%, followed by China and the US. In fact, 80% of all Japanese people access mobile internet on a regular basis.
Interestingly, there is a huge chunk of mobile web users who never or infrequently use other forms of internet connectivity. This is especially true in developing countries, as Egypt, Indi a, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria. In fact, according to CCK.com, in Kenya, 99% of internet connections are purely mobile.
It's no brainer that most of the online businesses have been moving into mobile applications to market or hook new users. From websites, e-commerce and shopping sites or even gaming they've created an app to easily access their online websites through the portable devices. You can check Engadget, Amazon and 888 poker mobile app, respectively for these classifications.
Given this amount of usage, cost per megabyte of mobile internet use has continued to fall while actual usage continues to rise, with Portio Research predicting mobile data usage to grow twenty-fold by 2017. For comparison's sake, see the table below taken from MobiThinking.com:
|Cost per megabyte (MB) of mobile data (worldwide in US$)
v Monthly mobile data traffic per smartphone user (worldwide in MB).
|Cost/MB (US$)
Provided such dependence on mobile connectivity, today's mobile devices and the apps that power them will continue to drive data usage up, while network operators will proactively try to dampen their impact on network performance via policy revisions or unlimited data contracts.
