Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Wesley Berry, AAF Wesley Berry Flowers http://www.wesleyberryflowers.com/ Carmen Electra has become such a versatile force in the celebrity world that is seems she can do almost anything. She's worked in television, film, theater, and has even created a fitness video. It leaves one wondering if there's anything she can't do...for instance, could she choose the right florist? Choosing the right florist to fit your needs can make your flower ordering and gift giving experiences much easier. Your florist can be your ally and make you look like the best gift-giver in town. He or she can help you remember important dates, like birthdays and anniversaries, and be a key player in making sure your loved ones always receive a beautiful and personal gift at exactly the right time. But, unfortunately, as with every service industry, all florists are not created equally. And, even though one florist might be perfect for your neighbor, your needs might be completely different. To help you choose the florist that's right for you, the Society of American Florists suggests you use these tips: * Look for a shop that offers lots of product choices. Because everyone in your life is unique, they will have different likes and dislikes. You'll need to find a florist that can accommodate all those different personalities by offering a wide variety of flowers and design choices. * Find a florist who is interested in getting to know you. If a florist doesn't seem willing to take the time to find out who you're ordering flowers for and what they can do to make the experience better for you and the recipient, you should probably find someone else for your floral needs. A good florist will keep track of your floral likes and dislikes and offer to remind you of upcoming important dates. * Find a florist who offers suggestions. You're a busy person and you're not always going to know exactly what you want to send. Your florist should be able to suggest new trends or seasonal flowers that the recipient might enjoy. He or she should also have ideas for making your gift unique. * Make sure your florist offers high quality products. If the plants and flowers in the shop don't look healthy, keep looking! There's nothing worse than ordering flowers for someone you love only to find out their arrangement wilted the next day or just wasn't as beautiful as it should be upon receipt. * Find a florist who is professionally affiliated. Florists who love their craft enough to join professional affiliations are usually more committed to quality than those who don't. Look for affiliations with national wire services, like FTD and Teleflora, and with national

How Do I Sell This Thing? Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Vasrue.com, All Rights Reserved Written by: Adam Rooney http://www.Vasrue.com Are you ready to cash in your existing vehicle for a newer model, or are you just looking for ways to unload a gas guzzler? Selling your car can be daunting - from listing to showing and all of that paperwork. But done correctly, your efforts can pay off in the end. Here's a few tips on selling your used car or truck: 1. Price it Right. Like anything, customers won't bite if you advertise an over-priced item. Find out what your car is really worth, not what you want to make on it. Use the Kelley Blue Book (http://www.kbb.com), or check Ebay (http://ebay.com) for similar vehicle sales prices. The Consumer Guide (http://www.consumerguide.com) will let you know the going market rate. 2. Write a Compelling Description. Consider the buyer when you write your description. What would you want to know about a car before spending your time calling and test driving? Detail every feature your car has, describing its honest condition and recent maintenance. Read other advertisements to get ideas, and answer questions proactively to save everyone's time. 3. Create a Listing. While newspaper classifieds are a great way to advertise your car, the Internet has also opened up a plethora of used car sales venues. You can post an ad at online auction houses like Ebay (http://ebay.com) or general classified websites like Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.org) and Cars Direct (http://www.carsdirect.com). 4. Make a Donation. If you have an extremely old car and it's simply not worth your time and trouble to sell it, consider a tax deductible donation. Look in your local Yellow Pages for charities near you, or visit America's Car Donation Charities Center (http://www.donateacar.com). That unwanted car just may be someone's lifeline. 5. Clean and Detail Your Car. Nobody wants to buy a dirty car. Even if you're comfortable with it, a stranger will expect a spotless car and will pay more for this extra attention to detail. Wash, wax, vacuum, shine the dashboard and clean all the windows and mirrors. You might even want to shine the tires and hubcaps while you're at it. 6. Prepare the Paperwork. Have all the paperwork ready when buyers visit and test drive your vehicle. Check your state requirements for smog certificates, title transfers, tax requirements and odometer reading statements. Ask the local Department of Motor Vehicles if you're not sure. Plus, have all parties sign a bill of sale. 7. Be Cautious of Scams. Finally, when dealing with online transactions, be leery of foreign buyers requesting payment via wire transfers, escrow services or Western Union.

No matter how what they might call it, many look upon the American Old West as a wild and dangerous place that existed in the last half of the 1800's in the American Frontier, west of the Mississippi River in the United States. Even Europeans who dislike or fear George W. Bush are quick to call him a cowboy, in a derogatory manner, as if his being from Texas automatically brands him as being like the outlaw cowboys that died at the O.K. Corral on October 26 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory. Many other people from around the world romanticize the American Old West. They conjure images of cowboys, Indians, guns, cattle, buffalo, trains and the simple life when they imagine the world of the Old West. Television, radio shows, and movies have all contributed to the romanticism of America's Old West. Television brought us Gunsmoke and Bonanza. Movies have come through time to further emphasize people's romantic ideas of the Old West. Movies that come to mind include Far and Away in 1992, True Grit in 1969, Two Mules for Sister Sara in 1970, Dances With Wolves in 1990, and Tombstone in 1993. And then there were my two favorite westerns of all-time, Support Your Local Sheriff and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid which both came out in 1969. (People love their westerns, and the Internet Movie Database gave them the chance to rate their favorite western movies here: http://www.imdb.com/chart/western) People Still Think The West Is About The Cowboys And Indians Even in today's communication age, some people still believe that Oklahoma and Texas exist as it did in the 1890's. Back in the late 1980's, I had traveled to Florida. While there, someone asked me where I was from. When I said Oklahoma, they had this puzzled look come across their face. After a moment or two, this individual seemed to have made the connection they were looking for. She asked me, So, how did you get to Florida? I was confused. I said, Well, I drove. She responded, Oh, so you stopped along the way and bought a car? I said, No. I had the car before I left. I could see a deer in the headlights moment, and then I heard her soon-to-be-famous words, I thought everyone in Oklahoma rode on horses and in wagons. What about the Indians? Do you all still have problems with the Indians? True story. No kidding. It is hard to

Acid reflux or gerd (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is a condition in which fluid splashes up from the stomach into the esophagus. This fluid contains mostly acid with some pepsin and bile. All three of these fluids are potentially dangerous to the sensitive esophageal tissue, with acid being the most harmful. This refluxed fluid can inflame and damage the lining of the esophagus (esophagitis). If this condition is allowed to become chronic, it can in time develop into Barrett's esophagus, which is the precursor of esophageal cancer. Over 15 million Americans experience acid reflux daily. People at all ages are susceptible to this condition. Older people who suffer from acid reflux tend to be more seriously affected than younger people. 13,000 people are diagnosed with esophageal cancer each year. At least 12,000 people die from it. The overall survival rate is very poor. Acid reflux is the greatest known risk factor for developing Barrett's Esophagus, which can become esophageal cancer. Barrett's esophagus occurs when chronic acid reflux or esophagitis is not controlled. Through constant inflammation and damage, the normal cells that line the esophagus called squamous cells turn into specialized columnar cells. Columnar cells are not normally found in human beings and can become cancerous. Although this can happen to anyone, it usually occurs in people over forty who have had regular bouts of heartburn for more than five years. Some of the symptoms are difficulty in swallowing and being awakened in the night by the pain of heartburn. Some people have no symptoms at all. Scar tissue can develop from the constant attack of acid on the tender lining of the esophagus. The tissue can become thickened and hard, making the esophagus narrower. This can make it difficult to swallow food or even water. I am a firm believer in natural cures versus conventional medicine. When I go to a doctor it is for diagnostic purposes only. Then, instead of subjecting myself to a barrage of harmful pills and painful procedures, I attempt to cure the condition myself by using alternative methods. I have found that MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) has the ability to soften scar tissue, making it flexible and permeable. I believe that by taking MSM on a regular basis, one can possibly avoid the severe problems

Not only do start-up businesses have heavy one-time, up-front expenses, but they're also tight on cash and funding. So your first task is to create a realistic budget. This acts as your blueprint for success. Your preliminary budget outlines expected and conservative income figures. Start with broad expense categories like utilities and income, breaking these out into more detailed line items like Utilities: telephone, Utilities: gas, Income: paperbacks, Income: hardbacks, and so forth. Expenses are typically easier to project than income. But income grows more and more predictable as time goes by. For this reason, review and adjust your budget quarterly and annually based on new data. (We'll talk more about this in the final installment of this series). Differentiate your one-time expenses (business license, legal fees, signage, sales literature, and so forth) from your ongoing expenses (leasing, utilities and insurance). Project figures out a full three years with growth dependent on market research or educated estimation. Add an extra 25 percent to all expenses to cover unforeseen or emergency events. Survive on as little capital investment as possible during your first few years to ensure survival until you reach profitability. Buy and budget only those items necessary to generate revenue. Organize your budget into fixed and variable expenses. Your fixed costs are those which remain stagnant from month to month, including your building lease, utilities, advertising and insurance, while your variable expenses are typically dependent on sales, like commissions, inventory and shipping. Avoid optional or unnecessary purchases. Nearly every penny you save goes into your pocket. So don't give in to temptation by spending $1,000 on a new desk. Buy only what's necessary to generate revenue and allocate money toward items receiving the strongest ROI. You can always upgrade down the road once your businesses is better established and income is more predictable. The leaner your organization, the better. Finding Funding Every business needs start-up capital. These funds help you purchase furniture and fixtures, computers and inventory while still bringing in a livable wage during the first few years when most companies see more red than black. But how much you need and where this funding comes from differs from business to business. According to a Biz$hop article for Wachovia, the country's

Rowling. Those of us who aren't skilled writers (and probably some who are!) sometimes struggle with finding the right words to say. Lucky for us, we can send flowers to say it without words...or can we? What about that card that goes along with the flowers? What do we say there? Don't panic! Your florist is a skilled professional who can create the perfect floral gift for any occasion that will say exactly what you want it to, whether it's I love you, Happy birthday, or Sorry for your loss. In truth, you don't need to write much more on the card that accompanies the flowers than your name so the recipient knows who sent the extremely thoughtful gift. But, there are certainly some occasions when you'd like to add a few extra words. When you're searching for the right words, ask your florist for suggestions. Your florist has assisted numerous customers with sending flowers for every occasion you can imagine. And, since many orders are placed over the telephone, your florist has heard lots of clever and wonderful messages for flower cards. If you're a little shy about asking your florist for help, though, here are a few ideas to help you along: * Anniversary For all these years you have been my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night. Still looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you. * Apology Accept these flowers in place of the words I said. Will these keys let me out of the doghouse? I'm sorry. * Birthday Wishing you a year filled with the same joy you bring to others! Enjoy this gift that's as beautiful as the birthday girl herself. * Cheer Up Sending sunny thoughts to brighten your day. I hope these ruin a perfectly bad day. * Congratulations Stunning performance! A standing ovation for you! * Get Well Hoping these flowers brighten not only your room, but your heart. Loving thoughts are tucked inside this bundle of flowers. * Housewarming May those who visit your home feel the love residing there. There's no place like home! Congratulations. * Love/Romance I usually tell you 'I love you' two or three times a day. Today I'll make it a dozen. If actions speak louder than words, this is my way of shouting. * New Birth We share in your celebration of the new life you created! Babies are special, babies are fun, congratulations on your new little one! * Sympathy Please accept these flowers and hear the words we are not able to speak. May you take
