The onetime Prada campaign girl will likely convert to Islam to marry the eldest son of the Aga Khan.
Much like the British monarchy, when the current Aga Khan is ready to abdicate his post, he will personally choose a successor.
The Aga Khan opened the museum in Toronto, as tension rises between Islam and the West.
Spears in the third model to marry into the Aga Khan family.
Not the king of Monaco, the Aga Khan, or even Steven Spielberg.
With due respect to the Aga Khan we do not see the logical connection between the two.
When Aga Khan grew up he managed to reconcile his followers to the orthodox Mohammedan faith.

Rising costs see sharp fall in Unicom profits
Related topics
China Unicom (Hong Kong), the country's second-largest wireless network operator, warned of 'substantially different' interim earnings this year due to escalating costs and higher 3G handset subsidies.
Based on the sharp fall in profit for the quarter to March it reported yesterday, Unicom would appear hard-pressed to meet last year's first-half net profit of 2.53 billion yuan (HK$3.02 billion).
The Beijing-based company, which is Apple's exclusive mainland carrier-partner for the iPhone, said its first-quarter net profit declined 86 per cent to 166 million yuan from 1.21 billion yuan a year ago.
That decrease was attributed to higher costs and other expenditures, which were up 25.3 per cent year on year to 48.79 billion yuan.
It included 1.9 billion yuan in 3G handset subsidies, 6.79 billion yuan for sales and marketing, 14.06 billion yuan in depreciation and 6.84 billion yuan in network, operation and support expenses.
Unicom's shrunken net profit was lower than the average forecast of 750 million yuan from analysts polled by Reuters and the 1.13 billion yuan median from Bloomberg estimates.
First-quarter revenue increased 21 per cent to 49.03 billion yuan from 40.52 billion yuan the previous year.
Turnover from the carrier's mobile business rose 42 per cent year on year to 28.42 billion yuan, with service revenue from its 3G network reaching 5.68 billion yuan.
Unicom reported a total of 174.54 million mobile subscribers as of the end of last month. It had 156 million 2G network users and 18.54 million subscribers on its high-speed, WCDMA-standard 3G network.
The monthly average revenue per user (Arpu) for 3G customers was 117.2 yuan.
Despite what the carrier described as 'rapid growth' in its mobile business, driving an earnings recovery will remain a major effort.
'Unicom progressively rolls out lower pricing plans and higher subsidy levels to drive this growth, putting pressure on its Arpu and earnings forecasts,' Lisa Soh, an analyst at Macquarie Securities in Hong Kong, said in a report.
Revenue from Unicom's fixed line business was up slightly to 20.36 billion yuan. Its fixed-line network business had 96.55 million local-access subscribers as of last month, with broadband network users totaling 49.8 million.
Unicom's share price was down 2.48 per cent to close at HK$15.72 .
Bad signal
The first-quarter profit of China Unicom (Hong Kong) declined this much from the same period last year: 86%

In most cultures, the elderly are respected for living a long life and possessing the wisdom cultivated from that life. Because of this respect, they can be expected to live the last years of their lives in a peaceful existence. Unfortunately, for many older people the remaining years of their lives can be full of abuse, which comes in many different forms.
One of the most disturbing trends that have come about in recent years is the problem of elder abuse. Elder abuse occurs when elderly people become a victim of assault by people they know or are caring for them. Elder abuse comes in many different forms.
Elder abuse can be committed by people in the form of physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse and other forms. The abuse can be perpetrated by friends, family or strangers, both in the home or in the care of a nursing facility. The important thing for people that watch for the elderly is to be alert to any different behavior of the victim. If the person starts to act differently, it may indicate that they are being a victim of elder abuse.
If you know someone that has been a victim of abuse have them file a complaint here.

"A knight without armor in a savage land."
Perhaps the only genre more popular than private eyes in television's early years was the western, so it's probably not all that surprising that someone soon came up with the idea of combining the two. In 1957, Have Gun-Will Travel made its debut on CBS, and soon became one of the most popular programs of the fifties. It ranked in the top five almost immediately and after that trailed only Gunsmoke and Wagon Train for the rest of its run. The theme song, co-written by star Richard Boone, even became a hit single.
On the surface, dapper, black-clad PALADIN was just a high-priced gun-for-hire, but in reality he was actually a sort of troubleshooter and private lawman-for-hire (a private eye, if you will), often sent out into the wilds to places where there was little, if any, law.
But his strong sense of ethics soon established for viewers that he was no mere assassin. A man of morals and conscience, he would at least try to settle a dispute without violence whenever possible. He occasionally would even turn on his clients, if he felt they were in the wrong.
Paladin was also a man of culture, West Point-educated (he served as an Union officer in the Civil War), literate, with a taste for fine food and clothing and the theatre. He dressed like a dandy and made his headquarters in the ritzy Hotel Carlton in San Francisco. His calling card featured a picture of the white knight in chess (a paladin is a knight renowned for his heroism and chivalry) and the inscription from which the show drew its title: "Have Gun, Will Travel...Wire San Francisco."
It was only when he was at work that he ditched the fancy duds, and clad completely in black, with his six gun stapped low on his thigh, he rode off in search of justice, or something like it, a "knight without armour in a savage land." Boone, as Paladin, brought a sense of dignity and weight to the role. Despite the western trappings, one of the more watchable of the early P.I. shows.
Paladin's success translated to another medium: radio! Have Gun-Will Travel was an unusual series as it was one of the very few to originate on television before becoming a radio program. Many of the radio episodes were adaptations of television scripts.
John Dehner's radio Paladin was different than Richard Boone's. Dehner could seem even more the refined gentleman, but just as formidable in a tough situation. The radio show was also unusual because the last episode provided a plot line resolution to the series. Paladin went East to claim a large inheritance from a deceased aunt's estate.
Respectfully submitted by Stewart Wright and Kevin Burton Smith. And thanks to Mark Yaworski for helping me get the pieces straight.

Child sex trade thriving
Canadian communities, large and small, suffering problem
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan (AP) Chastity Scott lowered her pregnant torso onto a cushioned sofa, her dark eyes trying to follow the careening figure of 13-month-old Jorden.
She sighed like only a weary mother can, realizing Jorden would be awake long past bedtime and require countless more struggles to stand up and run her down.
It's demanding for any young woman, particularly a 15-year-old living in a Salvation Army home. For Scott, though, anything is better than her life of the last few years.
"I started working at 9," she said, using the euphemism for selling sex on the streets. "I was living in a foster home and I didn't like it and left. I had to support myself."
Work meant two tricks a day at 120 Canadian dollars each, or about $165 total, mostly with "older guys driving around looking." The money paid for food, clothes, makeup the necessities for a self-perpetuating existence focused on surviving until the next dawn.
Police and social workers say Scott's story is far too common in Canada, where the child sex trade frequently snares troubled young people almost always from backgrounds of emotional, physical or sexual abuse.
In major cities like Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, such sexual exploitation has an underworld atmosphere involving children from all social and ethnic groupings.
Out in the smaller towns and rural areas of the world's second largest country, children forced or lured into the sex trade tend to reflect the local population. Most are Indian or mixed-race Canadians like Chastity, desperate for money, alcohol, drugs, food or just a ride, said Jannit Rabinovitch, a consultant for Save the Children Canada.
A recent study by the Canadian Council on Social Development, a nonprofit social service advocacy group, called sexual exploitation of children a growing problem that is luring pedophiles to Canada. Internet sites devoted to child sex list "kiddie strolls" for some Canadian cities, while Rabinovitch and others say the abuse they refuse to call it prostitution occurs everywhere.
"In all the communities I've been into in British Columbia, there is no question there is some sort of abuse taking place," said Sgt. John Ward, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police coordinator for missing and exploited children in the province.
Ward said half the 60,000 children who run away from home in Canada each year fail to return within 48 hours, with most ending up entangled in street life.
"There are a lot of runaway kids, street-wise kids, who will barter sex for anything," he said. "It's not an organized thing."
Rabinovitch, the Save the Children consultant, helped set up a 1998 conference in Victoria, British Columbia, where sexually exploited children from Canada, the United States and Latin America gathered to tell their stories.
Sarah Ninnie was one of them. She used to work the Saskatoon stroll along 21st Street to get money for the Ritalin and morphine that she and two members of her family shot up several times a day.
Wearing a neat wool skirt, her dark hair held by a butterfly clip, the 19-year-old shifted uncomfortably when talking about life on the street.
"People would drive around the house, looking for me," she said in a hushed voice. "A couple of times I got beat up, but I didn't really care. I had no hope for myself."
Ninnie mostly remembers the isolation. Her family wouldn't listen, the pimps and kids on the street weren't interested, and few social services addressed the child sex trade.
A plea from her younger sister finally got Ninnie to give up street life, and an invitation to the Victoria conference introduced her to others like herself. Finally she could share her sorrow.
"I didn't know anything about child abuse, that I was being exploited by people," she said. "It was so painful to talk about it."
Today Ninnie is finishing high school and works with a project for sexually exploited children spawned by the Victoria conference. Her life goal is to get other youths off the streets, where "you're always alone."
Isolation and loss of identity two common traits of aboriginal children forced into the sex trade are products of a cycle of social woes dating back generations.
Government policy from after World War II to 1979 forced most aboriginal children to attend residential schools away from their families. They lost their native language and culture and often faced physical and sexual abuse, returning home with emotional scars that exacerbated the poverty, joblessness and alcoholism endemic to many Indian reservations.
Sandi Leboeuf, director of the Saskatoon Tribal Council Family Center, said the residential schools also left parents isolated, breeding alcoholism and family dysfunction.
Her own story illustrates the problem. One of 17 children, only eight of whom lived to adulthood, she was sexually assaulted by a distant relative who had been a victim of sexual abuse at a residential school.
Only with unusual support, such as a father who gave up drinking, did she manage to avoid the streets, Leboeuf said. Two cousins abused by the same relative now have large families struggling with alcoholism and physical abuse.
Rabinovitch said increased public awareness and better training have mostly eradicated sexual abuse in public institutions like foster homes and residential schools.
"There's no access to kids in the public domain any more," she said. "Now you have to pay."
Stricter penalties for those who procure child sex are being considered by a committee of politicians, social workers and others investigating the problem in Saskatchewan.
Co-chairman Peter Prebble, a former social worker representing the New Democratic Party in the provincial parliament, said some committee members were shocked to learn at the first meeting in January that children as young as 9 are involved in the sex trade. He estimated that more than 100 children younger than 16 are working as prostitutes in Saskatoon alone.
Prebble also wants to examine preventive solutions like a program in Hawaii called Healthy Starts in which paraprofessionals monitor families of children considered at risk of abuse.
"We have a choice to make about whether we spend our resources solely on youth on the street, or if we're going to back off and spend some on prevention," he said.
In Regina, the provincial capital, aid workers Marie Smith and Karen Desjarlis work until 4 a.m. five nights a week in a recreational vehicle that serves as an outreach station for the government- and private-financed Pisim Wikihk Safety Services.
Pisim Wikihk, which means "sun house" in the Cree language, offers doughnuts, coffee and trained counselors in the vehicle. The informal setting and humor-laced banter are intended to ease the natural distrust of Indians to any kind of governmental authority.
"We are certified counselors, but they don't think we are," Smith said. "They just come in and relax and say, 'I don't really want to go to a counselor.' Meanwhile, that's what they're doing."
Such programs are increasing in cities, but social workers complain that children who finally decide to seek help have few options. Because of outdated laws and regulations, most official programs require children to be returned to their families, where the problem began.
Faced with that, children return to the streets, where they have their own identity, Smith explained.
"They get abused at home, but out here they have money and drugs and people know them," she said.
Scott, the teen-age mother expecting her second child, understands the lure of the street never disappears.
"My little sister, she's 8, she says, 'Chastity, I want to be just like you. You used to wear such nice clothes and so much makeup,"' Scott said. "I try to explain to her she can't."

A veteran investment adviser's take on her peers is that one-quarter aren't doing the job right.
"Seventy-five per cent of the people in the industry are well educated, professional in their manner and in the services they offer," Betty Tomsett said. "It's the other 25 per cent of the industry that just drives me crazy."
What's the problem? "The service levels, the experience and the knowledge," said Ms. Tomsett, director of wealth management at Richardson GMP Ltd., and an adviser since 1986. In a portfolio strategy column last October, Ms. Tomsett offered a blunt insider's take on Related contenthow to interview a prospective adviser . Here, she offers her views on how to tell if your adviser is one of the good ones or not.
Ms. Tomsett suggests asking these questions:
Does my adviser keep in touch with me?
Ideally, there should be a full review of your portfolio at least once a year, with additional contact depending on market conditions. "In a bull market, advisers can be a little less frequent in their communications because things are going well," she said. "When markets become more challenging, then greater communication is required."
Ms. Tomsett's advice to clients who haven't heard from their advisers in more than a year: Call to set up an appointment. "Some clients are hesitant to get on the phone to arrange a meeting," she said. "They feel that the responsibility is on the adviser to arrange it, which it is. But in markets like we're seeing today, advisers can get caught up in the day-to-day events. The important thing is that the meeting happens."
If you're wondering how to phrase your meeting request, Ms. Tomsett suggests the direct approach. For example, you might say you're feeling uncomfortable about your investments and want a meeting to review them.
Do I believe my adviser is well informed about the markets and economic events?
Before the next meeting with your adviser, prepare some questions designed to generate a discussion of market conditions. "Ask the adviser, how are you feeling about the markets or what's generating the changes in the market? Whatever the adviser says, it gives some insight into the depth of knowledge that they have."
A more practical approach is to say you're going to be renewing your mortgage soon – where does your adviser see interest rates going? Grade your adviser's answers by how clear, thorough and well reasoned they are. Also, note whether the adviser wallows in technical jargon or offers a wishy-washy view that suggests he or she doesn't know enough to take a strong position.
Do I have confidence in my adviser's ability to guide my investments?
The performance of your investments is a major consideration, but Ms. Tomsett warns that clients have to be realistic. If the stock market is down 15 per cent and your diversified portfolio fell 2 per cent, then your adviser has done well enough.
Another issue to examine is whether your adviser revisits your risk profile from time to time. Bear markets have a way of waking investors to the realization that they're not as tolerant of risk as they thought they were several years ago, when the markets were steadily rising.
One indicator that an adviser is doing a thorough job is if he or she insists on drawing up an investment policy statement for you. These statements formalize a client's risk profile and investment objectives, and Ms. Tomsett said they are becoming standard for new accounts.
Is the relationship with my adviser professional and one of mutual respect?
Let's start with the meetings you have with your adviser. Are you being rushed, or is your adviser showing an interest in you by asking questions? "Probing questions suggest [an adviser]cares, that they respect the relationship and that they want to ensure the client is comfortable and happy," Ms. Tomsett said. The meeting should be with your adviser and not one of his or her associates.
Ms. Tomsett's acid test for a client's compatibility with an adviser: "After you've had a conversation with your adviser, do you feel good when you get off the phone? If you don't, you have to ask yourself what you're uncomfortable with. Were you not being heard? Was the adviser in any way being dismissive?"
You may come out of the process of evaluating your adviser thinking you're in a good situation. If not, you must choose between trying to fix the relationship or ending it and finding another adviser. If you're not ready to give up and you believe your grievances to be fair and realistic, then schedule a meeting with your adviser to raise your concerns. "It's important to go face to face with the adviser," Ms. Tomsett said. "If the adviser doesn't know, he can't fix it."
If you're feeling intimidated, she suggests bringing a spouse or friend for moral support and drafting an informal script laying out what you want to say. A second-best approach is to send an e-mail that lays out your concerns. However you reach out to your adviser, indicate that you feel the relationship isn't working and then cite examples. Wrap up by asking your adviser what can be done to repair things.
Ms. Tomsett said there are two possible outcomes from a discussion like this – your adviser may work with you to improve things, or she may politely suggest you find another adviser who is better suited to your needs. Yes, advisers do sometimes fire their clients.
Prefer to just end the relationship with your adviser rather than trying to work things out? It's actually quite painless. Just find a new adviser and ask to have your account transferred. "The old adviser does know the account is being closed out, but there's no involvement needed by the client."
An agenda for a meeting with your adviser
Adviser-client meetings should happen at least once a year, says veteran wealth manager Betty Tomsett. Here's what she suggests as topics for discussion:
*Any material changes in your personal or financial life
*The performance of your investments
*A full portfolio analysis
*A reassessment of your risk profile and asset mix
*A discussion of any additional services required, such as retirement analysis, insurance needs, charitable giving
*Your adviser's view on the marketsReport Typo/Error

Vaccine concerns come with projected swine flu spread - 24 Aug 2009
Vaccine concerns come with projected swine flu spread - 24 Aug 2009
With risks such as neurodevelopmental disorders and paralysis that have been revealed for similar vaccines, a group of scientists, health experts, and religious leaders in the US have launched a website encouraging US residents to write to their state and local representatives in request of alternative approaches to the vaccine.
Their concerns involve the efficacy of vaccine treatments in general and the use of live pig DNA and other animal tissue within the vaccines, which may act to spread disease.
Swine flu continues to spread across the globe, with reported numbers that reflect only a small minority of actual cases.
Currently 251,401 people have been officially afflicted in around 180 countries, of which 2,545 cases have been fatal. A 4-year-old child became Western Australia's 17th swine flu victim, while another 4-year-old child was the 12th fatality in Israel. Wales in the United Kingdom reported her first swine flu fatality, Kuwait has declared her second, and the South Pacific island of New Caledonia has reported her third.
The US suffered 45 more losses of life in the past week, totaling 522, and a sudden jump to nearly 8,000 hospitalizations to date.Looking ahead, China's Health Minister Chen Zhu has warned that swine flu could reach pandemic proportions in the country as flu season approaches, adding that with growing cases, serious cases will be more frequent.
India's Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad likewise stated the country should brace itself for a "large scale" pandemic. Bangladesh, with about 100 officially tested cases so far, has predicted that 70,000 to 80,000 people will be stricken in the next 2 to 3 months.
Our earnest thanks, all who are working to ensure safe and rapid approaches to prevent swine flu spread. We sorrow for the ill and lost due to this tragic pandemic, and pray that only safe, humane and effective prevention techniques will be used, especially the one most available now – a healthy organic vegan diet.

Obama, Putin will gather for D-Day rite
WASHINGTON – Complicating the West's efforts to isolate Russia, the Kremlin announced Thursday that Vladimir V. Putin will join President Obama and European leaders in France next month for a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion that hastened the end of World War II.
The June 6 commemoration would mark the first time Putin and Western leaders have come face-to-face since the outbreak of the crisis in Ukraine. The United States and Europe have condemned Russia's provocations.
Still, leaders from Germany and France publicly welcomed Putin's decision to attend the observance at Normandy, raising questions about the effectiveness of recent efforts to ostracize the Russian president over Ukraine. And while the White House said Obama would not meet one-on-one with Putin, U.S. officials did not appear to be seeking to stop him from attending.
"We would not expect France to dis-invite Russia from this historic event commemorating World War II because of what's taking place in Ukraine," White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said. "The events in Normandy on June 6 are focused on remembering the sacrifices of all our World War II veterans." Millions of Russian lives were lost in the war against Germany.
International gatherings such as the D-Day anniversary are often occasions where world leaders find themselves in the presence of their foes. Obama shook hands with then-Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez at a regional summit in 2009. He also exchanged a handshake with Cuban leader Raúl Castro last year while both attended a memorial service in South Africa for Nelson Mandela.
Meanwhile, a day after claiming to have withdrawn thousands of Russian troops from Ukraine's border, Putin presided over East bloc military maneuvers Thursday that included tests of Russia's nuclear forces and live firing of intercontinental ballistic missiles.
NATO leaders said they had yet to see any evidence of Russia having moved the 40,000-plus troops amassed on Ukraine's border. And despite Putin's contention that Thursday's exercises had been planned since November, the unexpected display of the former Soviet empire's surviving destructive powers was likely to ratchet up tensions in the region.
In Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said via Twitter that alliance officials "haven't seen any – any – indication of troops pulling back."
Wednesday, Putin appealed to pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine to postpone their planned Sunday referendum on whether to demand greater autonomy within Ukraine or secede and be annexed by Russia.
But a separatist leader in Donetsk, capital of the restive region with a large Russian-speaking population, said the referendum would be held despite Putin's "respected" advice.

Docket: 02N-0209 - Request for Comment on First Amendment Issues
Comment Number: EC -255
Accepted - Volume 4
Comment Record
Ms. Judy Johnson
2002-07-29 11:13:31
Ms. Judy Johnson
Dietary Supplement Industry
Comments for FDA General
1. Are there arguments for regulating speech about drugs more comprehensively than, for example, about dietary supplements? What must an administrative record contain to sustain such a position? In particular, could FDA sustain a position that certain promotional speech about drugs is inherently misleading, unless it complies with FDA requirements? Does anything turn on whether the speech is made to learned intermediaries or to consumers? What is the evidentiary basis of such a distinction?
The DSHEA law was passed to inform the public on the benefits of natural health products. They are NOT drugs and the FDA should NOT regulate them. It is my right to be informed of alternatives available and then make my own decision.
2. Is FDA's current position regarding direct-to-consumer and other advertisements consistent with empirical research on the effects of those advertisements, as well as with relevant legal authority? What are the positive and negative effects, if any, of industry's promotion of prescription drugs, biologics, and/or devices? Does the current regulatory approach and its implementation by industry lead to over-prescription of drugs? Do they increase physician visits or patient compliance with medication regimes? Do they cause patient visits that lead to treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry lead to adequate treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Do they lead to adequate patient understanding of the potential risks associated with use of drugs? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry create any impediments to the ability of doctors to give optimal medical advice or prescribe optimal treatment?
Drugs have become rapant. And some antibiotics do not even work anymore. The price of drugs is outragous and some of our seniors cannot even afford them. If the FDA really wants to help, work to lower the drug prices.
3. May FDA distinguish claims concerning conventional foods from those relating to dietary supplements, taking into account limits on claims that can be made about foods in the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, 21 U.S.C. 301, 321, 337, 343, 371? What must an administrative record contain to sustain or deny claims on food labels? How can information best be presented in a succinct but non-misleading fashion? To what extent do assertions in claims need qualifications or disclaimers added to the label to avoid any misconceptions that consumers may draw? Is there a basis to believe that consumers approach claims about conventional foods and dietary supplements differently?
Food is food. The labeling, like Low Fat Non-fat is misleading. The trans-fat amount should be put on labeling.
5. How can warnings be made most effective in preventing harm while minimizing the chances of consumer confusion or inattention? Is there any evidence as to which types of warnings consumers follow or disregard?
Side effects must be put on drugs and continue to do so.
8. Do FDA's speech-related regulations advance the public health concerns they are designed to address? Are there other alternative approaches that FDA could pursue to accomplish those objectives with fewer restrictions on speech?
Clinical studies are a must. In dietary supplements, one should be able to refer to clinical studies for consumers to look to.
9. Are there any regulations, guidance, policies, and practices FDA should change, in light of governing First Amendment authority?
Leave the DSHEA alone! It was passed for a good reason. Don't let the pharmaceuical companies big bucks influence the FDA.

And if this is an accurate representation, then the Reaper of Lost Souls Fiberglass Sculpture definitely paints a more eerie and sinister portrait of death. This sculpture truly is a massive decoration that features an absolutely stunning level of detail. Depicting death in all its glory, this skeletal figure stands tall while wearing a black cloak, which it pulls open to reveal the spooky interior of deaths regalia. Held within its cloak is, of course, its skeletal rib cage, as well as so much more. Swirling within the black folds of cloth are the faces of countless lost souls, some smiling, some wailing, and all trapped by deaths cloak. For its part, death has remained hooded, although its mouth is opened as if roaring or threatening, while its eyes (when activated) glow and pulse a vibrant red color. This impressive sculpture is made from quality fiberglass, which makes it a strong decoration that is perfect for indoor or outdoor decoration. It measures approximately 5.5 feet (66 inches) tall and is battery operated, requiring 3 AA batteries (which are not included). The statue also makes spooky sounds. For a truly spooky and terrifying reaper to stand around among your own Halloween decorations, there is none more frightening than the Reaper Of Lost Souls Fiberglass Sculpture.

To make money online, you need your own products and lots of money foradvertising, right?
In fact, if you don't have money and products, you're not even qualified to makereal money, right?
That seems to be what a lot of the "gurus" are telling us.
But yesterday I sent you the lowdown on a program that proves those "guru-dudes"wrong.
That's right, I said it...The gurus are W-R-O-N-G!
And some of my readers have already written back to tell me they grabbed theprogram and were blown away by what they discovered...
You DON'T need products...And you DON'T need money...To MAKE money online.
Here are some of the questions I've received from readers who haven't purchasedyet...
Q. Okay, just how much money DON'T I need?
A. Nearly all of the techniques in Who Loves Money won't cost you one thin dime.When they say you don't need money to make them work, that's exactly what theymean. You'll learn how to make money using your brain instead of your wallet.And isn't that the way it should be?
Q. Is this proven to work?
A. Yes, yes and yes. The creators were in college when they figured this stuffout, and they built themselves a $20K per month income.
Since then, they've gone on to teach numerous other people to do the exact samething.
And the creators provide you with PROOF and examples of everything they talkabout.
Q. Is this info rehashed stuff that's been sold elsewhere?
A. The techniques are based on real-life campaigns the authors created. They usethis info day in and day out.
Q. What's the guarantee?
A. If you can follow instructions, you can do this. But if for ANY reason youfeel you can't, you'll get your money back, no hassle, no questions.
Q. Do I have to do any work to make money?
A. Duh. Yes, you do. And if you run across a program that says you don't, run.Run very fast.
Q. Can I have a free taste?
A. Yes. Go to the site, fill out your name and email address, and they'll sendyou the "How to Turn $5 into $150 Dollars Quickly" guide.
Get it, read it, do it, and thenquicklyquicklyquicklygo back to the site and ORDER, because today they're offering a $20 discount.
Don't dilly dally or you will LOSE it.
Roland Hubinette.
P.S. This is one of the biggest no-brainers I've run across.
You don't need money to make money online if you just know HOW, and this bookwill show you step-by-step how to do it.
P.P.S Yes, the program's name is hokey.
Who cares.
It works.
