My All Natural Oasis

By Randy Martin About 7 years ago, I decided that my budget could stretch, just enough, to fulfill my lifelong dream of owning my own hot tub. Like most perspective spa owners, my biggest concern was whether the hassle of adding and mixing all those toxic chemicals that (I used to believe) are necessary for clean spa water was really worth the pleasure of after-work escapes into my personal oasis. After all, who dreams of an oasis comprised of a hot chemical soup, with labor involved in starting and maintaining it? It is kind of counteractive to the fantasy if you think about it like that. It would be more of a mirage than an oasis, if you ask me. I began to brood over other possibilities as I let my skepticism simmer. What if I developed a rash or an allergic reaction to those artificial additives? I mean, my pores would be more open and vulnerable then, and that could really put me in hot water. Then a friend of mine told me about an all-natural, enzyme based formula that was designed to maintain crystal-clear spa water, and sanitize, without chemicals. The amazing thing is that it only needs to be added once every three months. Nothing else has to be added, ever. No testing, labor, or supplements are required with normal use. The enzymes do it all for you and it is 100% safe and nontoxic. If you think I was cynical before, I certainly was then, because this sounded too good to be true. Nevertheless, I decided to take my friends word for it. I brushed that skeptical angel off my shoulder and went out to purchase my steamy indulgence. To my delight, my friends testimony and my dream came true. I had the hot tub I always wanted and none of the worries or hassles that I feared. The product is called Spa Magic and it is no misnomer. In 3 words: I loved it. To quote an old Norelco ad, I liked it so much, I bought the company. Actually, I liked it so much I started my own company to distribute these great products. Our company is called Cre8ive Enzymes (http://www.cre8ivegroup.com/enzymes/) and we our proud to join the community of Green Industries that our changing the way we live our lives. Using our products produces no harmful byproducts. Our customers can dispose of their spa or cleaning water with the security of knowing that they are not contaminating the environment at all. We are glad to be a part of the growing movement towards a greener world, free of the toxins and chemicals that can poison our world. We now have hundreds of customers, still growing, and nothing but positive feedback and repeat business from our satisfied clients. In addition to the Spa Magic, we sell other great cleaning products for your house and your pets. The thing that pleased me the most about this discovery was the confirmation it gave me that green solutions have the power to beat synthetic/chemical solutions in the marketplace through both superior efficacy and cost effectiveness. There is hope yet, that consumers may finally abandon their, seemingly endless, use of artificial products that contaminate and disrupt the balance of our delicate ecosystem. Dr. Hunter, with the development of this revolutionary enzyme formula, was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in the early 90s. Starlab, the manufacture of this proprietary enzyme formula, is currently working towards expanding its product line with the development of more environmentally-friendly solutions to the problems we face in this ever changing world. They say we are in the second Age of Reason, but the contamination of our environment, that has been our mainstay, is not very rational at all. However, all-natural products that are less expensive and more effective than chemicals (such as the product line our company offers) provide the perfect incentives for consumerism to evolve for the better. Randy Martin is an environmental entrepreneur who lives in Wytheville, VA and owns an e-commerce business that sells all-natural, nontoxic cleaning products for everything from hot tubs to pets. Our company is called Cre8ive Enzymes http://www.cre8ivegroup.com/enzymes/ and we our proud to join the community of Green Industries that our changing the way we live our lives.

Diet Food Stinks!

By Dr. Jamie Fettig One big thing that can keep you from eating healthy is the idea of the food. People often think it sucks and doesnt taste good. That is the best thing of not dieting, the food tastes great. And since eating healthy is a non-diet the food also tastes great, often better than junk food. Have you ever had a strawberry that was so good it was almost orgasmic? People get caught up in comparing the old food they used to eat to the new food they are now eating. Don’t do this. Do not get caught up in trying to find something that tastes like your old favorite thing. Here is a little secret, the natural healthy food will not taste the same. It will taste better, if you let it. Let me explain what I mean with a story. My friend was eating an apple, and after a bite or two, she put the apple down and was going to throw it away. It was one of the worst apples she had ever eaten, she said. Dont ask me why, but I wanted to taste the worst apple ever. I took a bite, and it tasted pretty good to me. And then I had a thought. If I ate the apple expecting an apple taste, it was pretty bad. In fact, horrible. But when I tasted the apple for the taste it had, without comparing it to anything else, it was fine. In fact, the apple was pretty good. My friend, who just a moment ago was going to throw the apple out, tasted it again. When she didnt compare it to what she thought an apple should taste like, she thought it was pretty good as well. If you try to compare the new food you are eating to things youve eaten in the past, it will not be the same. It is not the same. But if you actually taste the new food you are eating for the food it is, you will find it is just as good, if not better, than the food you used to eat. Fresh and pure food always tastes better than toxic food, if you taste the food for what it is without comparing it to what you used to eat. Find your new favorite foods from healthy selections and the food you eat will taste great. Junk food is NOT actually easier and more convenient. I also share this and more with you in my free e-course that this article is a part of. Go to http://www.HealthyEatingDiet.com to get the full e-course. Dr. Jamie wants to help give you Permanent Results with his “non-diet.” He is also giving you dozens of valuable free gifts to “ethically bribe” you into helping him make his new book, “The Ultimate Non-Diet” a #1 best seller.

Secured Loans: A High Value Cheque At An Economical Rate

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=N._Kishore_Sahu]N. Kishore Sahu People take secured loams for many reasons. Secured loans are loans from financial organisation that need collateral to be pledged. It means that you can offer a lender your house as collateral in exchange for money. There are various benefits attached with a secured loan which are discussed in detail below: 1. Cheap rate of interest: -Secured loans come at a cheaper interest rate because of the presence of collateral. The lender gets guarantee of collateral thus he charges less interest. Many borrowers question the disparity between the rates publicised and the actual rates that they have to pay. There may be several reasons for these differences. The rates of interest shown by the lender are the standard rate of interest. However, depending on the value of collateral, borrowers credit grades and several other factors, a borrower may be offered the loan at a higher rate. The disparity in interest rate also depends on the loan amount. 2. Lower monthly installments: - A secured loan comes with a low monthly installment as the repayment period is long. The period may sometimes go upto 25 years. The low interest rate provides you the luxury of taking a high amount within your financial budget. 3. Huge Capital:-Another important advantage of secured loans is that borrowers can draw a much larger amount of cash than in unsecured loans. Higher the value of collateral higher the amount to be approved. 4. Easy availability: - All financial products are not as readily available as secured loans because of the risk involved in loans without collateral. Mostly all lenders have secured loans in their product portfolio. It is because of the comparative security that secured loan gives guarantee to the lender that no lender refuses these loans to consumers. 5. Bad credit history: - A secured loan is a boon for people with poor credit history as they too can take a secured loan to get going in life. Since they are providing collateral the chances of loan approval becomes high.

Depressed or Just Unhappy?

By Samantha Weaver Am I depressed or just unhappy? A difficult question you may think, but it is my opinion that a depressed person knows when they are depressed and a sad person knows when they are sad. It is perfectly human to experience the feelings of sadness. There is not one person on this planet who will live their life and not experience sadness. Sadness is a natural reaction to a painful circumstance. Depression on the other hand is more extreme, a clinical illness which has many more symptoms than general sadness and can, if not treated lead to suicide. A person experiencing feelings which upsets them can logically distinguish what it is that is causing the unhappiness. Whereas a person suffering depression can not necessarily do so. As a person suffering sadness would know, their feelings will begin to heal over a period of time, this person is dealing with their pain and know that it will get better over time. Whereas a person suffering depression tends to get worse and see that they are feeling sad more-or-less all the time with little or not let-up. Depression can last for weeks, months and for some years. It is not something that a person can merely snap out of, much as they wish that they could it is impossible. The feelings involved are intense and overwhelming and believe me; no-one wants to be contemplating taking their own life. Generally, if a person has had a loss of interest in life in their daily activities, job, relationship or socialising for more than approx 2 weeks and their mood is out of character for them, then the doctor could potentially diagnose depression. Some of the main symptom of depression are:- 1. Tiredness/lethargy or inability to sleep (insomnia) 2. Loss of interest in social activities and sexual relations 3. Recurrent thoughts of death and/or suicide 4. Lack of self worth and inappropriate guilt 5. Significant weight changes 6. Inability to concentrate Seeing your GP should be the first port of call, however screening tests are available and there are a range of them available on the internet.

By Ben Cloutier Ever wonder if there was an alternative solution to Paypal? or were you just so busy and heard about Paypal and signed up right away without looking for other options?

How I Get 100% Effectiveness With Girls

By Victor C. Yes my friends, believe it or not I can say that I have a 100% of effectiveness when I ask a girl to be my date or girlfriend. Sex? Well, I’m not the kind of guy that gets a girl just to have sex, however, let me tell you that out of all the girlfriends that I’ve had, I had sex with all of them eventually and with the rest of them, well.. honestly I didn’t want to but if I’d had asked them, I’m pretty sure they would have considered it. So, what is my technique? Here it is: 1) First of all, I’ll tell you something that I recently told to a couple of friends who were suffering because of their girls “You have to be willing to lose your girl since the very beginning.” You’d say I’m crazy, but it’s true. You see, anything can happen and if you are willing to accept that, chances are that if for some reason you get separate, your pain will be a lot less. 2) Do without doing, say without saying, flirt without flirting. This is good. When flirting a girl, don’t let her feel that you are dying for her. Women have a sixth sense, they know when a guy likes her and they feel that everybody like her, so, what you should do is, be less attentive, pay attention to what she needs but don’t make her feel too important. Here is an example: Let’s say, that you are at a party and somebody introduces her to you. Tell her sincerely and SUPER INTERESTED that she’s got the most beautiful eyes you’ve ever seen. Really, pay the most attention you can to her eyes for about 3-5 minutes, looking at “them” not at her. The next 20 minutes do something else and don’t pay attention to her eyes. She’ll think that something is wrong. Then, bring her a drink and tell her again about her eyes, and go somewhere else. Are you following? Be attentive but, make her wonder, “why at the beginning he was so attentive and he liked my eyes so much, no he is a little cold? Aren’t my eyes that beautiful?” 3) MAKE HER LAUGH! Laugh is the way to true love! That’s it! Short technique but, super effective. It has worked for me every time. Take care.

Wedding Reception Table Centerpieces

By Margaret Keenan Creating stunning centerpieces for your wedding tables need not cost you the earth. Most people design their own centerpieces to create both a unique piece and to keep costs low. Remembering points like the height of each centerpiece can avoid problems that may arise from your guests being unable to chat with each other across the tables. Layout a budget of how much you want to spend on each table and then calculate the total using your table plan. The following simple ideas can be used to create centerpieces from elegant and simple, to bold and dramatic. Candles Candles can create a beautiful ambience and stunning centerpiece to any table. They can be used grouped together or as single items to get a dramatic effect. Candles can be purchased in many colors and designs, which make them ideal for complimenting wedding schemes. A great idea to keep wedding costs low is to purchase plain church candles and decorate these using ribbon and other inexpensive craft materials. Another idea is to use similar candles, draw designs on them with a craft glue pen and then dip the candle into colored sand of your choice. This can create a beautiful embossed look. Glass Vases By using glass vases with a single colored flower of your choice filled with dyed water you can achieve a simple but elegant result. A great idea for christmas weddings, glass vases can simply be filled with different colored seasonal baubles to create a winter theme. Fresh Flowers Fresh flower arrangements for tables can be ordered with your own wedding bouquet from your local florists. This can be costly but will ease the burden of your stressful wedding plans. The only alternative would be to arrange your own flowers which could become a nightmare if you are not experienced. Arrangements designed in a wreath style, look amazing with a church candle placed inside. Fresh flowers on tables also give a beautiful aroma to compliment any wedding. Whatever your choices make sure not to go overboard into tackiness. A rule of thumb when designing your perfect wedding centerpiece is to keep it elegant and simple.

75 Questions to Ask When Hiring a Church Architect

By Stephen Anderson The design and construction of church facilities may very well be one of the most important activities in your organization’s history. One of the many critical components of your building success is hiring the right architect. Your church should consider at least 3-4 architects or design/build firms who have a good reputation for building the type and style of structures you are considering and are familiar with designing within the budget range you can afford. General Background Questions 1. How long has the architect been in business? 2. What percentage of the firms business is designing church facilities? 3. How many people does the architects firm employ? 4. Does the architect have a valid license for the state in which you intend to build? 5. Does the architect commonly do church projects of the style, size and budget that you anticipate building? 6. Is the architect familiar with the nuances of your denomination and worship style and what this may mean in building design? 7. Does the architect have a specific design style and how well does their design style match what you are looking to build? 8. Does the architect intend to use consultants for this project and if so, how are they paid? 9. Does the architect carry insurance? 10. What are the policy limits for each type of insurance carried? 11. Will the architect provide proof of insurance should the church decide to hire the firm? 12.

May the church see examples of the architects previous projects that are similar to your proposed project, including sketches, photos, plans and budgets? 15. Should the church decide to hire their firm, may the church get the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the clients for these previous similar projects? 16. What services did the architect provide for those church clients during the design, bidding, and construction phases? 17. Who will provide each of these services for the church: the architect, the architects employees, or outside professionals? 18. What was the actual construction cost versus the architects estimated cost for each of these projects, and how do they account for the variance? 19. Who from the firm will the church be directly dealing with? Is it the same person who will be designing the project? If not, who will be designing it and what direct interaction will the church have with this person? 20. What is the proposed mediation process for resolving disputes and will the architect agree to binding arbitration? Proposed Project Questions 1. What are the most significant challenges of the proposed project and how does the architect anticipate dealing with them? 2. How well does the architect understand the churchs goals and constraints? (Ask the architect to reiterate back to you the overall goals, design and budget constraints and evaluate how well they understand them.) 3. How confident is the architect of meeting the churchs proposed schedule? 4. What experience does the architect have translating ministry needs into space requirements? 5. What is the objective process that the architect will use to gather information to help evaluate the needs & goals of the ministry to provide the optimum design solution? 6. What sort of information will the church need to provide, and when? 7. What services does the architect propose to provide during construction? 8. Which of the proposed services are optional? 9. What are the steps, or phases, in the design process and how long should each take? 10. What does the architect show to explain and present the project? (Models, computer 3D models, color renderings, line sketches, etc.) 11. What are the options and price differences for each option? 12. How viable does the architect believe your proposed project is with respect to timeline, budget and land constraints? Fees & Contractual Issues 1. How does the architect establish fees and when will payments be expected? 2. How does the architect tie fee payments to milestones or phases in the scope of work? 3. What are the architectural and engineering fees for each phase of this project? 4. What specific services do the fees cover? 5. How does the architect establish fees for additional services? 6. How does the architect establish fees for reimbursable expenses? 7. What additional costs (e.g. permit, impact and other governmental fees) or services (e.g. time spent obtaining permits and approvals) does the architect anticipate for your project in addition to architectural and engineering fees? 8. If consultants or engineers (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, geotechnical, testing and inspection, etc.) are necessary, are their fees included in the architects quoted fee or are they separate services? 9. How might the church structure the contract so that the church has the ability to walk away from the agreement at the conclusion of any phase without additional cost or penalty? 10. How does the church insure they own and have the right to use the intellectual property (drawings, research findings, etc.) from each phase if they should decide to terminate their relationship with the architect? 11. What engineering work will the architect sub-contract, will it be sent out for bid and will the church be able to see these bids? 12. What is the architects markup on 3rd party services if they sub-contract out the work? 13. Will the architect provide construction cost estimates for the project? 14. What happens if the architects construction estimates are not in line with construction quotes? 15. Who is liable for the cost of redesign if it is necessary to meet the construction budget? 16. Will there be additional charges for changes required by the building department or other government agency? If so, how are these charges calculated? 17. How are additional charges computed for design changes requested by the church after working drawings are already completed? 18. How are additional charges computed for design changes requested by the contractor? 19. Who is financially responsible for correcting errors and omissions in design and bids? 20. Will the architect provide a fixed price agreement for each phase instead of a percentage based fee? (Fixed price is usually better.) Making the Final Decision Dont go by your feelings, check the references! Call or visit each reference that each architect gives you and ask and evaluate the answers to the following questions: 1. How well did the architect adhere to schedules? 2. How well did the architect live up to the expectation they set during the sales phase? 3. Did the project complete within budget? If not, why not? 4. Were you pleased with the architects services and your working relationship with the architect? (Compare to the architects explanation to the same question) 5. Did the architect listen to your concerns and attempt to resolve them to your satisfaction? 6. Would you hire the architect again? Why or why not? 7. What problems surfaced during the project? 8. What were the architects strong points? 9. What were the architects weak points? 10. What would you do different the next time? 11. Ask each reference about other projects they know the architect was involved with. This will give you some additional references to check. Remember no one will knowingly hand out references that wont give a glowing report. Seeking out other off list references may give you a more balanced viewpoint. Subjective Issues To Evaluate And Consider When Hiring An Architect These are questions that you may not always directly ask, but may evaluate from the responses to other questions and actions. 1. How interested is the architect in your project? 2. How much time and effort has the architect put into winning your business and earning your confidence? 3. How busy is the architect? 4. What do you feel sets this architect apart from the rest? 5. How well does the architect respond to being asked why you should hire them over someone else? 6. How well do your thoughts on why this architect may be the best fit for your church line up with their answer on why you should hire them? 7. How well has the architect performed in bringing projects to completion within the proposed budget on other projects? 8. How well does the architect understand your goals, priorities and constraints? 9. How good of a personality fit do you feel you have with the architect? 10. Does the architect have an all or nothing attitude towards the proposed services, or are they willing to offer services a la carte to help you meet your budget? 11. Are the agreements and pricing for services straightforward and easy to understand? 12. How well has the architect responded to your questions and communications in a timely and accurate fashion? It is recommended you create a form (or several) with all the questions allowing each person on the evaluation team to rank each respondents response on a scale of 1-10. If possible, visit the projects the architect has used as references for their services. This will provide an objective valuation for each applicant that should weigh heavily in the final decision and help eliminate personal feelings and preferences. As you may notice, many of the questions assume you have a good idea of what you want to build, why you need to build and what you can afford. If you cannot definitively answer these questions, it is premature to solicit the services of an architect or design/build firm. In addition to leading his church through a building and capital stewardship campaign, Steve Anderson is a church building consultant, seminar speaker, past contributing editor for Church & Worship Technology Magazine and author of the eBook, “Before you Build”: Practical Tips & Experienced Advice to Prepare Your Church for a Building Program.

Market Research Applied

By Daniel Wadleigh All industries evolve from the same sequence of events. This includes: Engineering, because the product must be designed; Product, which components interface with which applications; (Beta test) Distribution, how to get that wonderful product out there; (they’re 14 ways) Marketing, how can we help those dealers sell more, or, get the public to buy; Service, what follow-up or soft trades go along with a new profit center. Once a company has defined exactly what it is, management should set goals based upon the amount of business that can be done with existing resources. A two-person operation might be able to sell, install and service two sales per week. Whatever the resources, plan your business goals realistically. Settle on a plan that utilizes 80% of maximum possible business based upon existing resources. Expansion should be delayed until some consistency is reached in sales, lead generation and seasonal adaptability.(Otherwise known as predictability) Plan the market approach according to the ability to generate leads and close sales during peak seasons and carry through in off-seasons. For example, for retailers, January is not usually as good for sales as December; spring and fall are usually better than summer. An important element of goal-setting is making sure that there is a realistic way to reach the goals. This way, the goals will become reality. The old axiom, “Plan your act and then act your plan” is a formula for success. Whether the acquisition of the skills is paid for or rented, the business must be allowed to operate according to a master plan. This plan must include marketing and sales. The key to operation in an orderly manner is discipline. According to Jon Jorgenson, International Marketing Director for Digital, “It’s both discipline that gets you there and discipline that keeps you there.” Too many companies and institutions get fat and waste away from abundance misused. The responsibilities of mature planning and executing are demanding, but fulfilling.
