Do you want to put a smile on someone’s face? Maybe make their day a little bit brighter? It doesn’t have to take much time or money on your part. In fact, many things can be done as a part of your normal routine and cost little or nothing. You won’t know how many people are encouraged by your kindness because smiles are contagious. Try out one or more of these 7 ways today to put smiles on their faces.

1. Write an encouraging note to others that have encouraged you or that need encouragement. Handwritten notes that are given to encourage, not just for thanking someone for a gift, are rare. That makes handwritten notes even more special. Start a new practice of sitting down and writing an encouraging note on a regular basis. You just might start an epidemic!

2. Take a friend out to lunch or invite her to your home for a meal. You will get to know each other even better than you do right now. If you feel like being more adventurous, throw a party for several of your friends and put smiles on a multitude of faces.

3. Give someone an inspirational book to read. You will feel good doing it, reading the book will change the person, and they will think of you every time they read it.

4. Ask a friend or relative if you can take care of their kid(s) for a day or evening. If you have been a parent, you know the value of being able to have a few hours of “adult time” without worrying about the children. Don’t wait to be asked to baby-sit when it is required. Offer to do it at a time when the parent can do something fun and relaxing.

5. Deliver a meal to someone you know that is sick or having a rough time. We have all been sick and know the last thing you want to do is be out of bed. There are also times when life is tough and it is hard to do all of the daily chores. You can be a tremendous help by providing a meal that can be enjoyed.

6. Volunteer time to supporting your local church or charity. Every minute you dedicate to a church or charity will cause many smiles. You will put a smile on the face of each leader just for helping without being asked. You will also be putting smiles on the faces of those that are being helped through the organization.

7. Thank everyone that supports you throughout the day. The list of those that you come in contact with is endless. Remember family and friends, secretaries, co-workers, teachers, Sunday school teachers, pastors, store employees, janitors, gas station attendants, those that deliver your mail and newspaper, and servers at restaurants.

I know this is a list of 7 ways to put a smile on someone’s face, but there is one more way that can’t be ignored. Reveal a genuine smile to everyone you meet. You will experience how easy it is to get others to smile!

Companies have begun to take a stance against spyware by implementing spyware tools across their entire network. In the recent past Infoworks Technology and Unisys developed a partnership when Infoworks announced they would be providing their SpyRemover software for the entire Unisys use enterprise.

The company chose to make a move into spyware prevention because of spyware’s prevalent threats to personal and business internet uses. Employees have become active on the internet, leaving the enterprise’s computer network vulnerable to spyware infection.

For businesses spyware infection can cause negative impacts in several ways, such as slowing computers thus decreasing employee productivity. More serious problems can occur when security codes are breeched and corporate information is exposed. Infoworks’ SpyRemover software is designed to detect and fix problems including spyware, hijackers, adware, keyloggers, Trojans, tracking devices and other hacker tools. The programs has been successfully used on personal and business computers.

With spyware infesting any computer, personal or network, the speed and bandwidth capabilities will continuously degrade until the problems are fixed. Unauthorized ports for information release can be created by spyware. Many spyware applications run silently and cause only gradual computer degradation which leaves you unaware of the infestation. SpyRemover scan and removes spyware infections but it helps prevent some future infections, leaving your computer safer to surf the internet on.

There are a few basic methods that are effective in catching catfish. Bear in mind that specific methods are applicable to specific kinds of waters. That is because techniques and baiting mixtures are formulated for specific targets.

The following methods are simple, yet proven successful when used:

1) Rigging method - Depending on the bait used, loop the bait holder or the treble hook from a line to a preferred distance to the end. Bait movement is not suggested; therefore, a weight must be used to allow the rig to be still. A good distance shall be about 18″ to 24.”

Same as the first method, using the Slipweight to make the bait stable is also effective. The weight does not matter as long as it can slide in the line. The fish will not feel any weight and it will be late until they realize that the bait is fake.

Multibait technique allows multiple catches at once. Simply place three-way swivel along the line. As it draws more strikes it makes a great choice for catching more catfish at the same time.

2) Bait - Experts opt for chicken livers or medium sized shrimp from groceries. The shrimp’s tail and skin must be removed and body should be big enough to slide up in a number 6 hook. This is simpler than the chicken which necessitates the use of pantyhose. A diameter of a quarter is wrapped in a piece of pantyhose leaving a tag end then attach it through the treble hook. Blood worms, minnows, catfish paste, night crawlers, snails, living or dead small fish, and dough baits are also good choices of baits. Remember that the best baits are always those that nature produced.

3) Chumming - Fishermen catch more catfish with this method. This is simply throwing balls of mixtures of natural recipes in the fishing area. This attracts more catfish; the trick is that the mixture should be right enough for the catfish to feed heavily. The hook that will be used to fish normally must have the same recipe for the bait. Adding a good smelling flavor into the pasty mixture attracts catfish more.

4) Tackling - Although the technique involved in this method is by far effective, it’s still the bait that attracts and brings the catfish in. As simple as it is, the tackle should be about 6 feet long with a spinning real. Choose heavier lines to allow more battle between the fisherman and the catfish. It doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive. The experience you get from a cheaper tackle is no different from an expensive one.

Make sure the grip is secure hooks are removed by pliers after catching the fish. Avoid being stuck with the fins as some are poisonous. Just simply sliding the hand up to its belly from tail, placing the fingers behind one side and thumb behind the other can remove the catfish from the hook without any harm. Happy catfishing and good luck!

For years we’ve suffered under recession, prompting us to ask, When will it end? My answer is, “It’s only the beginning.”

Historically, recessions are the result of high interest rates, pushed up as the result of loose money policies. Recovery comes when citizens begin to spend more wisely, save money and pay off their debts, but not this time. Never before have credit policies been so loose for so long, and there has been no decrease in consumer debt. It’s still on the rise, but Americans are NOT fundamentally to blame; immoral monetary policy is.

Banks used to consider a safe loan applicant to have a 36% or less Debt to Income Ratio (debt divided by gross income). This percentage is a time-proven figure indicating the financial health of an individual. Now, during the worst economy in twenty years and with no signs of recovery, our banks gladly loan to applicants with a 56% Debt to Income. What has changed? Are banks suddenly more generous? I don’t think so. One good question to ask is, Why are banks willing to accept the additional risk? But the real question to ask is, Where is this money coming from?

Not one in a thousand Americans knows the true nature of our banking system, so they have no idea that what happened in 1929 is about to happen again. Nor do they know that it was done deliberately then, and is being done deliberately now.

We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions known to Man, and I refer to the Federal Reserve. Since it’s inception in 1913, every dollar created has interest being paid on it as if it were borrowed. This debt cannot be extinguished without destroying the currency itself, and has spawned a nightmare of debt that presently amounts to over $360 Billion in interest paid per year, accounting for half the personal income tax of the nation. Due to this, America is forced to create $7 Billion daily to cover the $1 Billion it pays in interest daily due to the Federal Reserve System. This is where the public comes in.

Federal Reserve bankers have to find a way to spend $6 Billion every day while masking the inflation it causes. Throughout the nineties it was done through real estate and the stock market. Now it is almost exclusively being put into real estate. How on Earth could so many mortgage companies be offering interest only, no money down, multi-hundred thousand or million dollar loans with high applicant debt ratios?

Here is a hypothetical example of what’s going to happen: Your mortgage banker tells you that with a 56% debt ratio, you can afford a $300,000 home, no money down. You secure the loan at 4%, costing $1432 per month. A few years later, you’re thrown out of work for three months. Back payments amount to $4296 plus late fees, legal fees, etc., and another $5k on cars, credit cards and everything else. Unable to catch up, you’ll try to refinance, but interest rates have moved up to 7%. A $310,000 loan now costs $2062 per month—more than you can afford, but banks will have tightened lending policies back to 36% and you no longer qualify for the home you own anyway. Accounting for all other debt, you now qualify for a shocking $360 per month. You are trapped, and the new bankruptcy laws they pushed for will never let you walk away.

You owned this home in a perfect numbers scenario, but any complications—unemployment, salary reduction, interest rate increase, debt ratio change, bruised credit rating, depressed home values–and you’re cooked. One mishap and every financial measure works against you. Your financial angel has suddenly become your greatest enemy. Welcome to the Federal Reserve System and their freshly engineered worldwide depression.

If you were to approach the housing market fresh, you would find that you only qualify for a $55k house now, along with the market of buyers you were hoping to unload your balloon-house on. The bank forecloses, auctions it off and you’re personally responsible for the difference, which could be massive. Bankruptcy is right around the corner, and deplorably, you are the only one who will be held accountable. You will then be a debt slave as the Federal Reserve intends, and game over.

My advice is to get as financially stable as you can. Mathematically, our situation is much worse than that of the Great Depression. No matter how generous these bankers appear, pare down monthly outlays to 36% D/I or less. Set aside three to six months of mortgage payments in case you become unemployed. Make sure you can ride out the storm.

We are coming to a point in American society to where it’s either them or us, and mass awareness is the key to our survival. Most believe the Federal Reserve is a part of the government, but it’s just a name. The Fed is a private corporation set up for private gain, with a dark history of stock market crashes, financial panics, political manipulation and ultimately, mass poverty and hunger riots. Our struggle is not new: currency control has switched from public to private hands EIGHT times since our country’s inception, and needs to be reclaimed by the people, one last time.

Don’t think you can play helpless and expect our political leaders to protect you from financial calamity; they never have. You must become Morally Armed on your own. Don’t be coaxed into believing the system is optimized for the good of all. The Federal Reserve System is not an equitable institution, and it was never intended to be. They believe if they have us strung out on debt, we are no threat to them. Let us prove otherwise.

Currency reform is the most important issue facing Americans today. How it plays out will determine whether you and your children eat or not, whether you have a place to live or even a future to look forward to. The major media will ridicule anyone speaking against the Fed, so to validate history’s greatest moral dilemma for yourself, just google “Jackson bank veto.”

America must abolish the Federal Reserve System to regain control over the economy and our government. For a concise history of world monetary policy and how it shapes world events, see Moral Armor. Then share this knowledge with your friends. Email this article to everyone in your address book and stay tuned for further developments. We’ll change the system together and bring a brighter dawn to Mankind.

Once considered a luxury for the rich and famous, satellite television has become a competitive industry, making it an affordable option for just about everyone. Nowadays, with more than 20 millions subscribers in total, satellite TV broadcasting had become one of the fastest growing home products in United States.

The fact is for recent years, the expansion rate of satellite TV had beaten cable TV greatly. Recent polls show some common reasons being superior picture quality, larger selection of channels and programs, increased availability, good customer service and the continuing drop in price.

However, with any hot product come the scammers. Thousands of “Free Satellite TV” websites have popped up; claming to offer the best satellite TV deals and promotions. Most of these scams offer a fake promise on their deals. Extremely low monthly subscription rates, next-day installation, and unlimited number of free satellite systems are some of the common promotion terms. However, once a customer signs up they find hidden activation fees, high delivery costs for free extras, installation dates continuously missed or pushed back, as well as shocking cancellation fees.

What will happen when I order my satellite TV via online retailers?

You place an order with an online satellite TV system retailer. You will then choose the number of satellite system you wished to receive. Standard online satellite TV deals will offer you up to 4 free satellite systems along with certain incentive gifts like DVD player or home theater systems.

At the time of ordering you will schedule a time that a local professional installer can come to your home and install the system. You do not need to choose your programming packages at the time of order. For example when you are ordering the Dish Network deals, you can always order your Dish Network systems first and decide your programming package later. Instructions for ordering your Dish Network programming will be sent with your systems. You will need to call Dish Network’s toll-free number (24/7 all year long) after your installation is completed. A customer service representative will help you activate all the programming you would like.

The satellite system will either be shipped to your home before the installation date or the installer will bring it with them. In normal case, shipping cost and standard installation fees are free of charge.

Many people try to hold a raging fire within themselves, but it
restlessly and relentlessly gnaws at their core. Some have tried
to cover it up with alcohol, numb it with drugs, hide it with
shopping, kids, work, or religion, or fuel it with sex. The Baby
Boomers looked for eternal youth and to change the world. They
thought they would never grow up, but they did. They thought
they would change the world and they did.

The previous generation looked for the American Dream. Some
found it. Many did not. The present generation seems to be
seeking success. Yet, the gap between the “haves” and the “have
nots” widens. Each generation and each individual, in turn,
searches for something, but it often slips from their grasp. The
fire carries both energy and discomfort. The key is to use the
discomfort as a motivator and the energy as fuel.

Redfield in the “Celestine Prophecy” talks of the need for a
historical perspective. The first man or woman met his/her
physical needs. Then he or she explored and conquered the world
and put it to their collective service. Now we seek something
and we don’t seem to know what it is.

When we are connected to our roots and our souls, passion rises
quickly and pushes us the next level of life or learning or
love. It does not have to be love of a mate. It could be
creative passion, fueling what we do for ourselves, work,
community, or family. Anything where the totality of who you are
is absorbed in the doing, requires passion. To loose it, is soul
death, or at least deep sleep. It will cry to be heard when it
sleeps.

I’ve sometimes been afraid of my passion. It seems so fierce at
times. I guess I fear it will consume me and nothing else will
matter. I know that can happen. I’ve had a small taste of it
when I work for hours into the night, so absorbed by my work
that I forget time, sleeping, and eating. But, I also know that
I must have time in my life to live the every day life of doing
the mundane things that must be done. Balance is probably still
the key, but you must not loose your passion all together. Your
life will be too dry and dull without it.

Remember your first love? Nothing else mattered. You felt as if
you would walk to the ends of the earth for that love. Remember
that? While that first passionate, all consuming love does not
last, it gives us a taste of a force within ourselves that
carries tremendous energy. Look for your passion and it will
find you.

You are surfing the net and checking your email, just minding your own business, when you come across an email from your friend asking you to check her website out. You move the mouse cursor to the delete button when suddenly you stopped. A sentence that read “You can earn money through your friends! Join now and start getting thousands and thousands of cash monthly!” got your attention and you find yourself checking your friend’s site. You find what it has to say really interesting and start thinking of all the fine things you could acquire with all those money. So in no time at all you find yourself joining her club. Welcome to the wonderful world of the downline club where more and more people are being enticed in joining, thanks to the promise of easy money and gifts!

Downline club is something you join for free or else it would be deemed by SEC as a pyramid scam and would be illegal. The concept of money making here is simple: you make money through the people who joins below you. These people are aptly called your downlines. Once you join the club, you will then be given a personal website to promote and entice people in joining your downline club. The supposed beauty of a downline club is that you don’t really need to work hard to get downlines. You only have to convince two hardworking and passionate people to be your first downlines and the rest, as they say, would be history! One you have established your first level, let your downlines help you out. The people they will bring into the club will also be your downlines and so on and so forth. Thus, the more downlines your downlines bring, the more you earn!

Sounds easy enough eh? So why not all people have joined downline clubs then if money seems that easy to earn? The thing is, it is not that easy to earn money as what downline club members would let us to believe. Money begets money and even if joining a downline club requires you to pay no fee, the time and energy you spend in front of your pc logged on to the internet is taxing and will cost you something. Think of the electricity you would consume and internet bill that will pile up. Also, finding someone who is passionate in encouraging people to join downline clubs is pretty tough. Finding one is lucky enough and finding two is most of the time close to a miracle.

Downline clubs then are not for everyone. A downline club could be really profitable if the person has many contacts who he or she can persuade to join. Downline clubs are also for people who have a lot of time in their hands for this kind of business can really, really, really be time consuming. A special kind of marketing skill too is needed for this business. So if you don’t posses any of these things, not to patience and passions for this certain kind of business then don’t join at all for your success on such business would be limited. Then again, you could help out someone by just being a downline. Just don’t ever fantasize you could get something out of it.

It is puzzling that there is such a dearth of home grown talent in the US to capitalise on the level of interest in this genre. Virtually every programme is imported or adapted from the UK so there are variants, as I intimated earlier, of Bargain Hunt, Flog It, Cash in the Attic and, of course, The Antiques Roadshow. There are many others from the same stable, some of which may yet sink mid Atlantic, so don’t be surprised to see offerings such as Car Boot Challenge, Car Booty, Sun, Sea and Bargain Spotting and, in what must be a classic case of product placement, The 20th Century Antiques Roadshow. Given that Americans have so little history in the traditional sense, the latter seems tailor made for them. Time will tell. Much the most intriguing development in recent times, however, has been the decoration of a four storey Manhattan townhouse with items acquired on the eBay site. Eight leading designers were given two months to furnish the property and web surfers were invited to follow their progress on eBay. This concept cleverly combined an appreciation of antiques in the context of home design and demonstrates a grasp of a changing market. People evidently enjoy this subject but TV executives are generally formulaic and unimaginative in their approach. The eBay initiative should act as a wake up call.

The truth of the matter is that the existing crop of TV antique shows are all much of a muchness. They all have the potential to surprise and even amaze us but, despite the unflagging efforts of David Dickinson et al, they lack innovation. I note that one of the presenters for Cash in the Attic is Jennie Bond, formerly BBC Royal Correspondent. How about zipping around Buck House or Windsor Castle to look at a few heirlooms? Cash in the Attic? Cash in every Room would be more appropriate. Heaven knows what the intrepid might find stashed under the floorboards or bricked up inside that false wall. Looted art? Asylum seekers? Who knows what lies beyond the green door? It’s all a bit too predictable for me, as it stands. It’s contrived and controlled and faintly twee but the most damning criticism is that the genre is so disengaged from the needs and expectations of the populace as a whole.
