Chiropractic Marketing with Social Networks and Video

By Matthew Loop, DC

When they first originated, I don't think anyone could've imagined just how lucrative and powerful social networking websites like YouTube, Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were going to be for business growth and exposure. When I introduced social media and simple video marketing to the chiropractic profession three years ago, I was confident that these Web 2.0 platforms would change the face of marketing as we knew it. With that confidence, I still could not have predicted the explosion that has taken place globally in such a short amount time.

And that wasn't the end of it either. I was able to save a remarkable amount of time by leveraging tasks, and was able to use web 2.0 and all its services at absolutely no cost. No wonder expensive marketing firms are working like crazy to find new clients to charge loads of money. They sense the end is near, because the real power of SEO and web 2.0 can be unleashed on your own! When I started to introduce myself to my community three years ago using MySpace, I was meeting nearly 50 people a day online. The traffic this drew to my website was unheard of. Soon enough, calls from potential patients starting coming in.

The results and success that I experienced with this kind of online marketing was almost instantaneous. In fact, I experienced dramatic results within 24 hours. I successfully was able to brand myself as the chiropractic authority in my community, and therefore entice countless new patients to utilize my services. I was able to constantly keep in touch with my new friends online and send information to my massive amount of subscribers. When you're keeping in touch with several thousand people on a regular basis, there's basically an avalanche of success that begins to flow your way.

Online video submission is really the powerhouse of chiropractic marketing. It is the basis of my success, and the secrets of it are taught to my students. By making regular videos, you can greatly increase your standing as a chiropractor in the community. When you learn the right tricks and know the appropriate services where you can upload your videos, the potential is amazing. Just a tip: make sure you always compress your video before submitting. Use a program like Windows Movie Maker for PC or iMovie for the Mac.

I noticed a while back that videos receive tremendous index status in the major search engines. When you understand the basics of optimization, you can begin to see your material reach top billing as well. When the most highly targeted visitors see your videos and get the link to your website, you officially have the internet working for you and your chiropractic practice 24 hours a day. My new patients said they felt like they already knew me, even before stepping into my office. That says a lot! When I provide new health and chiropractic information over the internet to help and inform people, they sense that they're not getting junk or spam. They're getting information and support they can trust.

Now is the time to learn the power that chiropractic video marketing can have on your practice. Nearly 52% of online content today is video! When people go online to look for solutions to back pain and neck aches, they want to ideally find videos for "one on one" instruction and information online. The more videos and material you have online, the more they trust what you have to say and believe your credibility in the business. There is no better way to literally stifle the competition.

It's truly awesome when you have the ability to give people a tour of your office, so that they can really see where you work and the environment of your practice. I know it sounds funny, but I carry my video camera and tripod with me everywhere, because I'm always inspired by some new idea for an informational video and promo for my chiropractic practice. I've shot videos everywhere! It says something about the success of my practice that I've made promo videos in the office, at home, in the mountains, near oceans, and even in Costa Rica! Wouldn't you like to hear answers about your back pain from someone sitting in a majestic location? Viewers come with me on this journey, and are better able to trust me when I speak to them in the flattering natural light.

In your chiropractic video marketing campaigns, make sure to also crank-out at least 1-2 videos per week. You can do them yourself or outsource production. If you outsource, though, you will pay a pretty penny. I recommend doing it yourself, as it's so simple and free. It's also a good idea to invite people to subscribe to your YouTube video channel at the end of your video messages. If you directly ask them, they will be more inclined to do so.

The important thing to remember is to relax, have fun, and to not be pretentious. Your videos should not be fake or give a false impression of who you really are. Convey your genuine feelings about wanting to help people and be the go-to person for their specific problems and this is what you will attract. With that in mind, provide a large amount of use value that your followers or people that see your video can implement that same day. This will give you even more credibility and build faster rapport with your community.

You truly do need a good chiropractic coach that understands the current marketing climate, and how modern technology and communications function for chiropractors today. Find a coach that specializes in chiropractic marketing utilizing web 2.0 and social media sharing sites. There's no use finding someone who specializes in anything else. Once you find the right mentor, fasten your seat belt because your practice is about to explode on the internet! - 15615

Speed Dating Advice

By Mary Bush

Here we are going to pass on some advice about the things that you should be doing when you are sitting at the meeting and talking to your speed dating "partner" and what you should do when its all over when trying to contact the singles you want.

Firstly, when you eventually start at your speed dating session, you want to make sure you are making enough eye contact, this is very important and it tells the person that you are interested in them and in the end you will get a better response from them. If you are just beginning, try not to look around too much but then again you don't really want to be accused of staring at the other person. You don't want to come across as a bit strange now do you.

Second part of our tips is to always remember to smile when you are speed dating, this is also extremely important to your success as a smile will show that you are friendly and approachable, the other single or beginner will feel a lot more comfortable speaking to you and your speed dating will go much better. Thirdly, another bit of advice is to remember to write down their contact details, such as email address, this is what you will need if you don't want to keep returning to speed dating, time after time as this will enable you to see the single/beginner again after your speed dating session.

Emailing them is usually a good way to make contact as its not too in your face and they can contact you when they have the time. Another bit of advice is to make a date with the person sometime after as you don't really want to have to start all over again at the speed dating service you were with and try to find another single or beginner to do this on. Or maybe you do. This is pretty important and is the next step towards a relationship but don't dive in their too fast.

You don't have to do any of that if you aren't comfortable with it, i mean speed dating can be loads of fun if you just want to have random dates and loads of people to meet and you don't really want a relationship. Their are lots of singles out there that do it just for the dating, my advice is to keep going at it and do what ever you are comfortable with. - 15615

6 Things You Should Know Before You Buy A Showerhead

By Steven M. Fisher

1: SHOWERING IN STYLE.

The finish or color of your showerhead should match the tub filler and the faucet. The styles should have a similar look, but don't necessarily have to match. You can now get showerheads that offer up to 25 different sprays from massage to drenching rain to fine mist.

2: THE JET SET.

All showerheads are not alike and there are numerous types available on the market. The wall-mounted showerhead is the most common with an overhead shower placed on the ceiling. Others mount on a vertical slide for versatility and allow for height differences. One of the best to bathe children, wash a pet or help those who need to shower sitting down is a handheld version. The ultimate is body mist shower has a series of jets on a single bar to gently wash the body, as well as, has adjustable force and spray patterns. Body spray showerheads are small showerheads installed on opposite walls in a series of two or three.

3: SELF CLEANING.

Do you live where there is hard water? Then think about a showerhead that offers self-cleaning capabilities. Also if you live by salt water, ask about special protective coating for polished brass and chrome fixtures. You will be able to maintain the good looks without tarnish or discoloration or even pitting.

4: FLOW.

Low-flow showerheads conserve water by restricting flow through smaller openings. The federally mandated effort to save water has reduced the flow of showerheads to no more than 2.5 gallons per minute. Some showerhead manufacturers offer flow restriction mechanisms that reduce levels even lower. While they save water at this lower level, the water temperature may be lower than desired.

5: PRICING.

Showerheads come in a wide range of prices, anywhere from $15 to $600 and more. As a general rule, you get what you pay for. The lower priced models will offer less features and a lesser warranty, if any. Changing to an overhead shower may mean expensive plumbing renovations. If you are replacing a wall mounted showerhead, you will probably want to select another one.

6: TEMPERATURE GUARD.

Antiscald protection is extremely important if your shower is used by older adults or small children. To replace an old mixer valve with an anitscald one is an expensive plumbing expense. Instead, think about an antiscald fitting which installs in between the shower arm and your new showerhead. It's way cheaper and just as efficient. - 15615

Acoustic Musical Instruments

By Kevin Gillett

Music is an offering of the soul. When most profound, it directly connects with the cosmos. Such music is known to melt hearts and cure the diseased. Musical instruments are of various genres. They aim to give a player a lot of options. Musical instruments can come in form of percussion instruments, wind instruments and various other acoustic measures. The idea is to let die hard musicians get a large selection to choose from. Today, it does not matter whether you are looking for pop or electro pop or hip hop or fusion. There is always an electric guitar or a jazz instrument you can look for. You can get higher modulations, bass, soft tunes, blends whatever you seek.

Musical instruments are most noticeable in music concerts. Acoustic instruments are very important part of the musical genre. Acoustic instruments use instruments which are just opposite of electronic ones. Electronic instruments like guitars and synthesizers are very late additions to music. This is why most of the musical instruments can be branded as acoustic instruments.

Today, acoustics and electronic instruments are blended at times. Musicians wish for more present-day genX appeal so they add electronic amplifications to an acoustic instrument. Even for these cases, the acoustic devices are kept as separate units than electronic equipments. Acoustic is generally considered to be very pure, untouched silken music genre. Electronica is often defied by critics as a genre that has brought a violence of technology.

Two very famous acoustic instruments are guitar and mandolin. Mandolins are generally understood by the length of the scale. Mandolins are the common name. It has many derivatives. Bluegrass mandolin comes with a couple of Gibson. Each Gibson produces an array of scintillating music. There are many other derivatives of a mandolin. There are the mandobass, manocello, mandola and many other versions. Folk mandolins are generally associated with deeper and larger bodies. They have a nice big hole in the middle. As a general rule, a mandolin is flat at the back and is arched. This means that it has no carves. Mandolins use mahogany, spruce, cedar and rosewood for its make.

It is not easy to repair an acoustic instrument. Certain stringed instruments make a buzzing noise. This means that they may have a heightened fret, low action, or a warped neckline. If the warped neck is disturbing you, alter the string balance and put in a truss rod. If its the raised fret thats the cause of bother, distance the buzz to some other fret range and stick the fret where it was initially. For low action, tie a denser, fresh string.

Musicians are evolved with a musical sheet. Such sheet music provides with musical notations. But you need to understand the notations. It is a special type of literacy which is only taught in musical schools. Solo performers memorize the music. Classic performers keep the musical sheet and then play their music. - 15615

How To Manage Your Time Making Money Online

By Timmi Olando

The quality of the internet e-tail service is the real thing that a e-tail business should keep in view. However, firms face several problems in understanding the context of web based commerce. Current notions of service quality and delivering quality service are based largely on research and managerial experience in conventional contexts where customers can physically examine and interact with the products they purchase. In contrast, the nature of customer interactions with products as well as the cues they receive about the firm is likely to be significantly different online. Understanding how customers perceive service quality online and how such perceptions influence perceptions of value and willingness to purchase online.

Furthermore, our current understanding of the phenomenon of e-commerce phenomena comes largely from studies. With online e-tailing becoming increasingly main stream across the globe, information on the phenomenon from an international context is particularly important. Service quality has been recognized as an important strategic e-tailing weapon. Many successful product e-tailers differentiate themselves not through the product they sell but through the service they offer. The quality of a web-based e-tail service depends on the perceived quality of the process of using the web for purchasing as well as the perceived quality of the outcome. Research has suggested that functional service quality influences consumers' willingness to buy directly.

The functional service quality is main contributors of consumers' willingness to buy. Functional service quality also influences technical service quality, which in turn influences product quality. The role of technical service quality is well recognized. It influences not only perception of product quality but also the personal construct of value. Competence (skill and expertise) or product knowledge is important for Perceptions of technical service quality.

Consumers on the web do not regard all web service quality categories as equally important. Some web service quality factors differ from one product category to another while certain factors are regarded as highly important across all the product categories. This highlights the important role of functional and technical dimensions of service quality and their link to perceptions of value and the willingness to buy. The results provide evidence of the moderating effects of product characteristics on the relationships of web service quality to perceived product quality, value, and willingness to buy.

The results provide a broader picture of these relationships in an international context. The multiple web sites in each product category can sharpen results. In addition, understanding how culture affects satisfaction and perceived service quality is an interesting point. The certain potential antecedents of customers' purchase behaviors like customers' buying decision style are uncontrolled because of the limitation of setting. Incorporating these effects may yield useful insights. - 15615

How to Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back - 3 Tips

By katie George

There's always hope in getting an ex boyfriend back. You found your way here so that means you believe there is hope too. You've already the first step to getting him back and that is action. Where do you direct your energy now? Getting your ex boyfriend back is not as hard as it may seem. Right now things are looking like an uphill battle but it won't be that way for long. Here's a couple of tips to set you in the right direction.

1. No Contact

What? That doesn't make sense? Here's why you need a period where you don't have contact with your ex. You both need time to heal and calm down after what just happened. Chances are if you were to call him up now and gush about what you did and beg him to take you back it will not work and simply drive him away. Your chances with this approach don't improve if you do it every day either. This will give your ex time to miss you. It will let him figure out where he stands and you should be doing the same thing.

2. Party With Your Girlfriends

This is another piece of advice that, at first, seems counter-intuitive. How can having a Girls Night Out possibly help in getting him back? Most importantly, this advice is for you specifically. It's to make you feel better and figure out the world is not over because you have broken up with your boyfriend. The out reaching effect of this activity is that your ex will probably get wind of how well you're taking the break up and become intrigued again. People expect others to be broken and miserable after a break up and this shows you as anything but.

3. Develop A Plan

Trying to approach your ex without a plan is walking on thin ice. Something can easily be said that could ignite another argument putting you back to square one or making the relationship over for good. Already knowing what you intend to say can limit these unexpected fights from happening. You will also be able to clearly and easily explain your feelings to him without letting outside issues or distractions take you away from that purpose.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for ways you can get your ex boyfriend back. These three are perhaps the most important though since many others branch off from what they suggest. Now you know where to direct all that energy. If you need more information it is readily available to you, but this should get you started. - 15615

Ten Essential Online Dating Safety Tips

By katie George

1. Trust Your Gut Instinct

Your instinct is a powerful medium for knowing when something doesn't feel right. It is also a great way to measure when to move forward with someone and when to turn and run. As you read profiles, responses to emails, have phone conversations, and meet in person your instincts help to tell you if something is "right" or out of alignment. The "out of alignment" message is your cue to be careful, back off, or proceed with extreme caution. Trust your gut instinct, it's the most powerful psychological tool you have at your disposal.

2. Don't Provide Personal Information Too Soon

Your home phone number and full name provide easy ways to track who you are and where you live. Armed with just your home phone number, a person can easily gain access to your income information, home address, and even learn the value of your home. Armed with your first and last name, a person can do searches to determine quite a bit of information on you - where you work, what you do, and even what your home phone number is. So in the initial stages of communication, guard your personal information. As far as phone communication, see the next tip.

3. Use a Free Email Account

If you decide to move your communication from the anonymous email feature provided by the majority of online dating services then provide an email address that isn't your regular one. Sign up for a free Yahoo!, Hotmail, or Gmail account that you use just for online dating. Don't put your full name in the From field - only your first name or something else. This protects you from a person being able to search your normal email address to find out more information about you.

4. Use a Cell Phone or Anonymous Phone Service to Chat

When it's time to move your communication to the next level (talking on the phone), never give out your home phone number. Either provide a cell phone number, use Skype to communicate, or use an anonymous phone service. It's just an added protection barrier until you get to know the person better.

5. Beware of Married People

It's unfortunate, but a lot of married people do use online dating services. They'll even go as far as to meet people. A few years ago, MSNBC reported that a study found that up to 30% of people using online dating services are married!

6. Look for Questionable Characteristics in Your Communication

As you chat via email and on the phone you may be able to start to pick out characteristics of the other person. Are they controlling? Do they seem to anger easily? Do they avoid some of your questions? These can be questionable characteristics that tell you it's time to move on.

7. Ask for a Recent Photo

There's nothing wrong in asking someone if their photos are recent. If they don't have a photo, request a recent one. It's important for you to get a good look at the person you may eventually meet. Plus your instincts from your communications and their photos may provide you with valuable insight into the person. Plus, if they tell you the photo is recent and you meet and see a major difference, then you'll know the person lied and can cut the date short. If a person lies about their photo or profile then that is a red flag to no longer pursue the relationship.

8. Stick With Paid Online Dating Services

Free online dating services provide a greater opportunity for potentially dangerous individuals. They don't ever have to provide a credit card or other information that identifies them. There is some truth to the saying, "you get what you pay for".

9. Don't Get a False Sense of Security

Some online dating services claim to offer "background checks" and when signing up for such a service you may find it easier to let your guard down. Don't. Laws differ from state-to-state when it comes to background checks and there are even several states where checks can't be effectively performed. Because of the inconsistency, criminals/wrong doers can and do get into services that do "background checks". Never let your guard down.

10. Meet in a Public Place for Your First Meeting

When it's time to schedule that first exciting face-to-face meeting, arrange to meet in a public place and provide your own transportation. Your initial meeting will tell you a lot about the other person, including whether or not he/she lied in their profile. Your gut instincts will kick in. Never accept an offer to be picked up at your house. Make sure that a friend knows where you are at and who you are with.

By following these tips, you'll help protect yourself from being an easy prey to someone who may have ulterior motives. With an average of 100+ marriages a day from online dating, you can see that the experience can be both safe and rewarding. Keep it safe! - 15615

The History and Background of the Piano

By J. Simon

The piano is a musical instrument that a person plays by pressing the keys on a keyboard. The keys are linked to felt covered hammers that are caused to strike metal strings when the key is depressed. A mechanism ensures that upon striking the strings the hammers are immediately released, which allows the strings to continue to vibrate at their resonant frequency.

After the pianist presses the key, a part inside the piano stops the sound from reverberating. While the key sounds, it transmits to the soundboard which amplifies the sound of the keys. The piano player is able to play different pitches depending on the keys played with differing degrees of loudness or softness and the duration of the notes held can be controlled by the damper pedal.

Most Western style music use the piano for piano performances only, with other musicians and singers as an accompanist, or with orchestras inspired pieces. It is the main instrument that composers and conductors use to compose and convey melodies and pieces. It is one of the most universally accepted and revered instruments throughout the world today.

The word piano is an abbreviation of the Italian word pianoforte, a rather formal and archaic word which means 'soft and loud'. It expresses the gradation of tone that the instrument produces. By association, the word piano has been taken over to denote the instrument whose original Italian name, clavicembalo, refers to the instrument's fidelity and responsiveness to any touch on the keyboard.

The original model for the piano is the much older stringed instrument known as the harp, the earliest versions of which were designed and used in ancient Greece centuries before the birth of Christ. At some point, a musically minded inventor conceived of the idea that instead of plucking the strings on a harp with the fingers as was traditionally done, it was also possible to devise a means of plucking the strings mechanically. It was this idea for a harp operated by mechanical keys that revolutionized music and gave rise to the first primitive keyboard.

In 1698, Cristofori began the actual steps for designing the precursor of the piano which was the harpsichord capable of soft and loud, complete with drawings and models. But the precision and quality of the instrument as we know it today was still far way off yet. Over the next few centuries, there unfolded a grand old story of experimentation, designing, innovation and refinement.

Before the proper precursor to the modern piano was invented in the early 1700s, to be able to produce the keyboard music one needed to control three separate instruments all at once. Right from its inception, the principal challenge motivating the art of piano designing has been to make the high notes louder and brighter. To this end, several improvements have been made in the standard piano design: a precisely calibrated mechanisms to control hammer swing, high tensile steel strings in place of catgut, innovations in the shape and material of hammers, advancement in the designs of resonators and fret boards to extend the instrument's range, and other crucial inventions like the double key escarpment that enables a note to be repeated even if the hammer had not regained its full resting position.

The real development of the piano occurred around the 19th century with the invention of felt hammers which helped the strings resonate better, better steel wires, and more superior frames for the sounding board. The piano was built into the upright styles in the 19th century which was a smaller version of the much larger grand piano. This change made the piano much more affordable for more families and more people had the opportunity to learn the instrument. - 15615

How to Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back - Killer Tips

By katie George

Are you in this situation: your girlfriend of some time breaks up with you leaving you all alone? The only thing you can think of is getting her back. Your buddies tell you to get back into the dating pool, go out, and have a good time. Should you go out and date while you're trying to get your ex girlfriend back? Is it right or are you being a jerk?

Dating can be a great way to get your ex girlfriend back. Let me explain. Casual dating is going to help you keep your mind off your misery. I don't say this lightly, but you're more attractive when you're having fun and relaxed. Moping around about a break up doesn't paint you in the best picture. Try not to directly contact your ex for about a month. During this time if she sees you having fun and being confident around others, she is going to start to wonder if she screwed up by leaving.

If you'd been with your ex for a while, it may be tough to step back into the dating pool.

Top 10 Do's and Don'ts of Effective Online Dating

By Mary Bush

It's challenging enough to meet someone in real life, let alone to try to find them in the abyss of the World Wide Web! Today more than ever, online dating is the most common way to meet potential mates. Online dating can put a small dent in your pocket, but it costs less than going to a bar a few nights a week waiting for Mr. or Miss right to walk in while you throw down yet another shot of Patron. Dating would be way simpler with a rulebook, but unfortunately, we couldn't find one appropriate for this century. So we came up with our top ten suggestions of Do's and Do Not's of online dating.

1. DO have fun! Remember that dating is supposed to be a good time and not a chore. Pick activities or places that make you happy so you can relax and laugh. It's always easier to break the ice with something cool to do. Even if you both can't ice skate or bowl, at least you can bond while you fall on the floor or strike out.

2. DON'T assume that the other person's photo is as accurate as yours. Once, we made a date with someone whose dating head-shot looked attractive, but upon meeting him, he could have passed as our 65 year old, balding, pudgy Uncle Morty who pulls coins from our ear.

3. DO make your dating head-shot and profile accurate and fun to reflect your personality. Be positive in your profile. Even if you just lost your job or you had a fight with your best friend, don't tell your date. A bad outlook can destroy a potential date faster than you can say, "I have an STD."

4. DON'T be desperate. Even if you are totally ready for marriage and kids, coming on strong is a sure date killer. While it's important to know what you want and to be on the same page, don't answer the door in a wedding dress. In fact, don't even talk about weddings until the third month of dating. Yes, third month, not third date.

5. DON'T lie. If the date stunk and the person isn't for you, tell them NICELY in a follow up e-mail. You don't have to tell them you think they're the most boring person on earth and you wouldn't go out with them again even if your life depended on it. Instead, thank them for their time and say you just don't think it's a match.

6. DON'T cyber-stalk someone. Don't text or email more than once after a date. Meet that person with the same energy they are giving you. If them e-mail you through the dating website you're using then return the e-mail through the same site. If they move on to your private e-mail, them return the message to their private e-mail and so on. Don't text if they're e-mailing and DON'T call if they're texting, etc...

7. Don't get drunk on your date; it's not cute or sexy. Practice some self-control.

8. DO learn the language of dating profiles: Cuddly = Chubby, Fun Loving= Player, Travels a Lot for Work = married with kids.

9. DO move the conversation along from email to text to phone calls as quickly as possible. Some people are better writers than others. On a phone call you'll get a better sense of who the person is and if you'll get along. Plus, you'll find out if you like the sound of their voice.

10. Don't give out too much personal information during your first few e-mail exchanges. Make sure to meet your dates in a public place and keep your contact information confidential until you know your date's middle name, at least one child hood story and where his mother grew up. It's best to wait on sharing personal info until the second date. Taking things slowly can pay off in the long run. Just ask yourself how all those times you rushed things have worked out for you? - 15615

How to Approach Women Successfully

By katie George

Life is a lot different from the imaginary, fabricated on that we see in Hollywood. It always seem that men are able to confidently approach women, and without a need to search for the right pick up line. But why would this create a problem? With the fabricated script lines that are created for them, and the women who are paid to respond accordingly, there really should be no problem.

Let's face it though, in our real life it's not quite this easy, as the right 'line' isn't always at your disposal. This probably sounds all too familiar to most of us. Perhaps you're out with your friends, and notice a beautiful woman at that corner table. You procrastinate and procrastinate, and still haven't went to talk to her. You procrastinate even more, and look over again, and she's with another man - a confident man, who appears to know how to pick up girls. This man seems to be the man that everyone wants to be like, including you!

If your solution on how to be an alpha male and how to get girls is to brush up on those pickup lines, then you are bound to fail. Rare is the woman who will fall for a cheesy and overused pickup line. Imagine a woman who has heard your pickup line before from some other guy. Imagine a woman who has read that pickup line while surfing the Internet.

The key to approaching a woman is confidence. Stop racking your brain for things to say when you approach a woman. Be confident about yourself, your looks, your skills, and your own person. Come across as a guy who is out to have some relaxed fun and is not needy or desperate to pick up women. Show her your attraction not by saying that she looks like an angel who just fell from the sky. Tell her she's beautiful as relaxed or as matter-of-factly as possible. Don't say it like it's the line that will get you your next girlfriend. Say it as an honest compliment to a lady.

One important thing when picking up a woman is how to keep yourself different from the ordinary 'trying to take her home' scheme. Let's face it - women aren't stupid, and they'll be able to see right through you. Conversely, you must stay focused on ensuring keeping her interest, and more importantly stay interested in her's. Perhaps she has friends with her, which is an excellent opportunity to strike a conversation on how they met. Keep a well-balanced conversation by talking about both your interests and her's. The key is to send such a message that she realizes that you're not the typical guy, but rather a gentleman who is out to have a good time, and to get to know a truly interesting person - and not for what most other guys are after. - 15615

Avoid a Breakup and Save Your Relationship

By Mary Bush

Most people realize that their partner isn't really with them emotionally when they discover that their significant other is usually not around at home. Do you actually recall when you first met each other? Most people recall how they first fell in love with their partner because it is a uniquely special moment with most couples.

Remember also that in course of life, things do happen. Family members are born or die, jobs are lost or gained, there's money to be made and spent, and health situations can change either for the better or can get worse. Many situations can affect the relationship between two people who are committed to each other.

Remember what first drew you to your partner in the first place. so engage yourself in conversations about what's going on in your families and in your lives that you share. Showing a little love goes a long way in a relationship. Be clear and intent on communicating love by showing some nurturing and caring touch.

Don't keep track of the real or imagined slights and things your partner did to offend and hurt you. Instead, find some common ground to solve the problem or issue so you both agree. Show that you are committed to saving the relationship and be firm about it with your partner.

By remembering your love with your significant other that you had in the past, you need to try to revive it together. If you don't set up some time to spend together, think of the consequences if you don't. Do you both really want to work on this partnership?

Be proactive together as a committed couple. If you can't agree on what the problems are or how to solve those problems, do some research and get learn some techniques on how to get started. It will be rewarding and can only help you both if you both determine to follow through on a step by step plan together.

Keep asking your spouse if they want to still spend time on salvaging your relationship. And keep saying that you are willing to do the work together with them. The choice you want to make is to stay united as a couple, and stay with your decision.

Consider that to learn how to stop a breakup also means that you have to be patient with no expectation of fast results. Don't forget that when you both are working on your relationship learn to have some pleasure, laughter, and fun again. Love is also an expression of joy you have in knowing each other. - 15615

How Do You Get Music Videos On Your I-Pod?

By Amy Nutt

The Apple I-pod is one of the most technologically advanced multi media players on the market. The new I-pod touch and I-pod video have the capabilities to store and play thousands of songs and pictures like the older models, but now have the technology to store and play hundreds of hours of video as well.

Apple has taken instant, hand held entertainment to a new level, allowing I-pod users to create their own videos and upload them onto their I-pods to enjoy and share, or to purchase their favorite music videos from I-tunes (or one of any number of other online retailers) to carry with them anywhere they go.

Where to get your Favorite Videos

There are a number of ways to get your favorite music videos such as Eminem and movie clips onto your I-pod where youll be able to enjoy them wherever and whenever you want.

The Safest Bets

You can join a website for the specific purpose of supplying videos for portable media players. This is often a good option, because the files will already be in the format that will be compatible with your I-pod software, so all you have to do is essentially point and click to have all of your favorite music videos in the palm of your hand. The only downside to joining a membership site, is that you have to pay the fee regardless of how many videos you download - so if you only find a few that you really want, then you could be paying an exceedingly high per-video fee. The up side is that downloading videos this way is perfectly safe and legal; you can search and download all the videos you want without any fear of viruses or legal repercussions.

You can transfer videos from DVDs that you already own, which will be free, but a little bit more complicated. I-pods only support video in the MPEG 4 format, which means that any videos in any other format will have to be translated into the MPEG 4 format in order to be compatible with your I-pod. Translating video into this format will require you to purchase software that can change the video format, creating an extra cost and adding an extra step to the process. You may or may not be able to find a software application that can translate certain video formats for you for free, but be very wary about what sites you download programs from - in looking for a cheaper alternative, you may just find yourself with an unwanted virus.

You can also join a "pay as you download" site, where you wont have any out of pocket cost to join, but will pay for each individual video that you download. This is just as safe and legal as the pay membership sites, but you will probably end up paying a bit more for each individual video that you download. These sites often have very extensive libraries containing thousands and thousands of videos to choose from like Lil Wayne or akon, so finding the exact videos that you want shouldnt be very challenging.

A Cheaper but, Risky Option

If you dont want to pay for the software to translate videos into the MPEG4 format, or pay anything for the videos that you download, you can always visit a free download or shareware site. Youll usually be able to find exactly what you are looking for on these sites, but the big downsides here are that it is dangerous and illegal. These sites usually arent monitored very well, so its pretty common to find that either a virus or some form of spy-ware has found its way onto your computer, particular if your are on the sites often.

Whatever method of downloading videos to your I-pod that you happen to choose, youll be opening yourself up to a whole new style of entertainment. Youll have instant access to all of your favorite music videos, no matter when or where you want to view them. Apple has totally changed the way we are able to entertain ourselves with the capabilities of the new series of I-pods. - 15615

Secrets on Investing in Web Traffic

By Leonardo Marques

Do you know a good amount of websites could be earning more profits? And why aren?t they? Because most of them have almost no traffic. The more traffic a website has, the more profitable it is. But a good number of websites are wasting potential buyers - who could be browsing products and services on their web page - because its owners don't know exactly how to obtain cores traffic.

Good websites with high traffic really stand out for a reason. Designers invest lots of time and energy into the structure and layout of their websites. Consultants rack their brains for innovative methods to attract new eyeballs. Both do so in order to turn mere visitors into paying customers.

If you are willing to have a good income due to a good amount of traffic coming to your website, don't bet simply on luck. In fact, it has nothing to do with that. The keys for the success of an online business are hard work, attention, concern and ambition. In addition to that, some money is needed to be invested in order to make your website more professional. The more professional your website is, the better. It will gain the people's trust.

Suppose a woman, who comes for a short visit in your store, browses, compares and entertains herself with your offers. Chances are that when she is just looking, she has an impulse and buy something. The same situation above - of a company which has a physical presence - occurs in a website, almost certainly with more frequency, specifically if the buyer just have to click on a link.

As in every successful business, the website owner must invest some money in advertising in order to attract those potential buyers to the website. He must spread the advertisement in a good way in order to bring traffic, since traffic comes from a lot of exposures over time.

One of the best ways to achieve this goal is by advertising using Google Adwords, paying for solid keywords. Your website will certainly receive a good amount of traffic due the relevance of Google Ads. Ads are displayed either in the sidebar of Google results page or within many websites that are profited by Google Adsense. When people click on your ad, they will be automatically driven to your website.

Adwords makes sure that website traffic is generated by appealing to consumers in a very specific way. Every person who clicks on the advertisement was in the process of conducting a very similar search. Other search engines also provide similar services. Making simultaneous purchases from the most popular search engines will broaden the scope even more.

A business that invests in advertising is essentially paying for its traffic. This is a good thing, because specific customers can be attracted and profits can be calculated based on a model. This helps ensure the stability of the business over time.

In every business, it's so much important not be miserly regarding to time and money investments mainly in quality, efficacy and perfection, because they will be rewarded with profits. People who wait for a traffic that comes by chance, often get a not-so pleasant surprise. - 15615

Online blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as sports, news, music or a hobby. Most blogs online function more as personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on photos, audio podcasting, videos, or all combined together.

Many physical therapists who have private practices, physical therapy products, and continuing education courses can use blogs to keep in touch with their readers or create a community of readers interested in their subject matter.

Have your blog offer RSS feeds and Podcast feeds of your posts.

Place links to important information from your website like the services you offer, continuing education courses that you offer, your physical therapy product information, and etc.

The important social and interactive aspect of blogs is its ability for visitors to post comments on your post. Creating dialogue shows your reader you are a live person behind the blog.

You can customize the design and layout of most blogs to cater to the look and feel of your business brand.

How Much do Portable Display Stands Cost on Average?

By Amy Nutt

Having a trade show display is something that more companies need to try. This is because a lot of people come to trade shows. They not only come to see what they can get their hands on, but they like to see what the different companies are offering. Yes, some do come just for the freebies, but there are plenty of individuals who come for the educational value of it all. That is why it is very important to have portable display stands as a part of your trade show display.

There are different types of portable display stands that you can use for your trade show display. It is basically up to you which you get. You can base it on your budget and your style.

Different types of display stands

First of all portable display stands can have several different holders. This means that you will be able to hold more than just one brochure or flyer. You're going to be able to hold much more than that. So here is a rundown of what you may encounter when looking for the right portable display stands for your trade show booth:

- You can get curved display stands or a literature rack that holds multiple pieces of literature for anywhere between $175 and $200. These are units that sit on the floor, but they can set up quickly. They usually fold up in some way.

- There are fabric displays that can cost you under $100.

- You can find tabletop displays for under $100 and still hold multiple pieces of literature.

- You may even find that a rotating magazine rack is the way in which you can display your literature. This is something that may still cost you anywhere from $90 to $125.

- There are lighted displays that may cost you around $500. This is one of the most expensive units you can invest in.

There are so many different types of display stands. What you pay depends on what your style and of course if you decide that display booth rentals is the way to go. You may choose something super sophisticated, which will come packed with a sophisticated price. Then again, you may choose something that is modest with a modest price. You have so many choices and so many price ranges to choose from. That means you're not going to have a hard time choosing the right display stands for your trade show booth.

Why use display stands?

When distributing literature, you don?t want to have to lay the literature down flat upon the table you're using in your trade show booth. This is because it gets knocked around and can look really messy. People will sit their things on top of them. Fanning them out on a table also means you're using up space that could be used to display your product or something else important. Even using a tabletop display stand will save a lot of room and keep things organized.

So for the sake of your image, it is a good idea to use portable display stands for your literature. That way you look really professional and people are able to freely grab information about you and your product. People like it when literature is made available to them and you're going to like it too. You?re going to like it because that means you have possible new customers. That means you're going to make even more money, which is made possible by setting up a trade show booth and being organized with that booth. That means you have made the trade show and your display work for you. It's just a matter of finding the materials that will serve you best. - 15615

How to Download iPhone Music and Stay Secure

By Davion W

If you are looking for a site where you can download iPhone music, there are some pointers that you have to consider before you accept any offer from a site. Prior to availing the packages and other services being offered to you, it is advisable to make a comparison first. Below are some important things that you have to keep in mind when making comparisons:

Reputation - Most of the sites where you can download music for iPhone are quite well-known, trusted and recommended by many users. To check about the popularity of the site, it would be helpful to see their search engine rankings by Google searching for them.

Collection ? It is quite important to check if the site offers a good collection of iPhone music to download. What's the use of joining a site that does not have many items to offer?

Price - The usual rate for joining a site is S49.95. If it gets higher than this, snub it and check for another instead. Be aware also of sites that offer free membership. Most of them are illegal. Some may be legitimate but their way of doing it is enticing you to join for free but you will be charged a certain rate for each download.

Quality - It would be good to see various reviews about the site before joining to allow you to find the satisfaction ratings they get from their members. In addition to this, check whether the video and audio have high qualities.

Customer Support ? A legit site should have a customer support that can provide immediate assistance whenever you need to know something about your iPhone music download concerns. It is indeed a nice thing to get immediate help when you are experiencing hassles.

If a site does not have the qualifications that I've mentioned above, it would be advisable to consider another to avoid waste of time and money. Since you want only the best sounds for your iPhone, consider only the best sites to get your music from.

Being a music lover, myself, I've been downloading iPhone music for years and I wrote some blogs, useful critiques and important guidelines to other users. To find more about what I have to say on various download those sites, click HERE. - 15615

Affiliate Marketing Programs

By Don Bethune

Affiliate marketing programs allows advertisers to reimburse webmasters for the space of putting up advertisements on their webpage or even within the e-mails they send. These advertisers pay for space on the internet, much as they would on a billboard or in a magazine or newspaper.

The simplicity of being participating in affiliate marketing programs has made it one of the most well known ways to earn income without leaving home. These programs allows just about anyone, housewives, the elderly, the homebound, to have their own 'home business' and gain monetary freedom.

So just how do advertisers pay the webmasters hosting their ads? First, it is important to understand how sites are ranked when someone searches the web. Simply, the more hits a website receives per day the higher it is listed when a user performs a web search with a search engine. This in turn makes a frequently visited website have even more hits.

The more traffic the site sees, the more likely a user is to click through the ad link on a website. Paying for ad space on these popular sites can potentially result in hundreds of new customers each day. Advertising space is therefore priced based on the hits that the website receives.

Advertisers using affiliate marketing programs pay based on the several types of actions that occur as a result of a website user clicking on their ad. Some pay per click, per thousand click, per action after click, per lead, per completion, and many others.

In a cost per click scale the webmaster will be paid based on the number of times a person using the website hosting the ad, clicks on the link directing them to the advertiser's website. In the per thousand click scale the webmaster is paid for every thousand times a web user clicks on the ad's link. A per action scenario means that the web user must not only click through the ad link, but also complete a particular action, such as filling out customer information, signing up for a contest, completing a purchase and so on. Another payment scale type is cost per lead which is similar to cost per action, but the webmaster sends potential customer information.

How do webmasters choose the right affiliate marketing program for their websites? Many simply search the internet! The best way to determine which program best suits a webmaster is to search for affiliate programs, evaluate the payments schedules, and determine if ad placement is suitable for their site (size and location requirements).

Income from affiliate marketing can vary widely and is highly dependent on the number of hits your website receives. Another consideration is that part or all of the income generated may be considered taxable income on the city, state, or federal level; it is best to check with your local tax office. Regardless, the income potential is boundless and worth looking into if you have the space on your website. - 15615

6 Things To Consider Before You Buy A Stove

By Steven M. Fisher

1: STYLE IS IMPORTANT

Ranges have become the status symbol of the kitchen and many treat them like a stage for performing. There are free-standing or slide-in models, or built-in. It is a smart move to select the same type of replacement range to avoid renovations. Larger professional type ranges add glamour as well as heat, but they need better ventilation and may need fireboards next to the adjoining cabinets.

2: COLOR IS KEY

These days, most ranges come in white, black and stainless steel or metallic finish resembling stainless. Ask if the metal is really stainless steel. The rule is that range should match the dishwasher and refrigerator if they do not have a custom cover. Custom colors are available on premium brands.

3: FUEL - A VERY IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION

Electric and gas are both reliable and offer consistent heat. Gas allows you to select different levels of heat and when the burner is off, cooking stops. If you currently have electric and decide to switch to gas, you will need a gas hookup as well as 120 volt circuit for clocks and electronic ignition. Electric heat gives you very low heat, which is not always possible with gas, but it heats up and cools down slowly.

4: FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE

There are several features to choose from. Decide which are most important to you and which you will actually use. Check out convection baking for superior baking results as well as low simmer and high heat options on the cooktop.

5: THE MAINTENANCE CHECK

If you don't want to waste your time cleaning your oven, go with self-clean options. The continuous clean never really gets the oven immaculate. Ceramic cooktops and glass need specific cleaners and care. The burners on professional ranges require considerably more care.

6: MAKING SURE IT FITS

Before you make your final decision, be sure that the one you choose will fit into your existing or renovated kitchen. Most freestanding ranges are 30-inches wide, but can vary from 24 to 48-inches. Professional models measure from 36 inches to 60. - 15615

Internet Dating for Single Parents: Seven Useful Tips

By Desmond Ray

Some motivation. You are a single parent and you doubt that you need another love in your life aside from the one which you already have: love of your children. Really, why you should make your life more complicated, is not this already the case? Every single parent may have such thoughts once in a while, but here is an answer to it. People in love look better, because they feel happier and, as a result they live longer, so they can give more love to those whom they love. Or, in other terms, the very existence in this world requires a balance: if your love to your children is not balanced by your own love life, then how good is your love to your children in the first place? They sure love you, so they want you to be happy, but are you happy while you are alone? Bottom line: as a single parent you may need strong motivation for dating again, so this way (or another) you have to work it out for yourself first.

Be prepared. So, lets assume that you agree with all that is said above (or, perhaps you have other reasons), and so yes, you are going to date someone, again. Are you ready? Here are several simple checks. First, do you have any negative feelings about your former friend (husband, wife)? Get rid of them: you dont want to pass old stuff into your new relationship. Second, are you fond of yourself? Yes, you should be! If not, find a way to fix this condition, I am sure you have a plenty of reasons to change your attitude towards yourself. Value yourself, groom yourself, love yourself, those are necessary ingredients for seeking love from another person. Finally, it is possible that it was an eternity since you dated someone, many things had changed, so you need relatively gradual immersion into your new state: online dating will help you, because the pace of the process will be under your total control.

Are money an issue? So, lets assume that you have your motivation and you are ready, but there is still one more issue left unclear, that is, money. You dont feel like dating is something that you can afford right now. This is where online dating gives you one of its best features: the very low level of spending with great outcomes. The only thing that you have to pay is your membership fee, which is by all means a modest expense. After that you will have an access to thousands of profiles, you can contact tens of candidates, you can afford the finest search you need: an impossible venture if you would try it in a live mode! Besides, if you like, you can sign-up to a single parent dating network and find someone special right in your area.

Your children and you. Yes, what about them: do you have to keep your dating secret from them? No, you better tell your kids from the start that you are looking for a date. You have to be exemplary for them, even in this business of grownups. Keep them posted about your meetings: where you are going and what to do in case if you will be late. Be prepared that at some occasions your children may even attempt to control your dating life. Do not let them to prevent your dates, they might be driven by a simple jealousy, but this will pass. Do not let them tell you whom you should meet and whom you should not: this is your life and decisions are yours.

About your new friend and your kids. Your dating eventually will bring you a stable relationship. So time will come to introduce your new friend to your kids. You have to avoid any surprises, prepare them for that first, tell them about him or her. The first meeting must be short. An incidental encounter at cinema (or any other place which your kids love to go to) would be a good idea. Next time you can make it a little longer. Getting used to each other takes time, so pushing any side toward the other is a bad idea: everything must come in natural way. You have to be patient, and you have to make your children understand that there is nothing there that will change your love, care and devotion to them. You have to be open and sincere with your kids and after first meetings ask their opinion about your new friend.

You and your new friend children. Before meeting with the children of your new friend, you have to know about them as much as you can (or, at least, something). Set the first meeting on the neutral grounds, i.e. not in their home, so they will not feel threatened as if you are trying to take their living space from them. Absolutely abstain from saying or showing anything negative about their other parent. Be natural, do not deem this meeting as a vital event of your life (even if this is the case). Bring some presents (nothing too cheap, nothing too expensive), it is always good to ask your friend what will be a good thing to bring to the kids. You have to be friendly, even if the child is cold with you, because you are the one who is a grownup. And be yourself, because children will feel any pretence a mile away. With all that handled in a thoughtful and leveled manner you will succeed.

Thats it! Oops, I almost forgot one more thing. Do not rush into getting married again, just give it some time, and good luck! - 15615

6 Things You Should Know Before Buying A Couch

By Steven M. Fisher

1: COLOR IS IMPORTANT.

Look for colors that express your personal style or work with colors you already have in your room because color will be the first element you respond to.

2: THE COMFORT TEST.

Once you find the couch you like, test it for comfort. Bounce up and down on the cushions. Make sure you like the feel. After all, you are the one that will be sitting on it.

3: DURABILITY.

Lift the frame and wiggle the arms. Does it feel heavy and sturdy? Do the arms hold firm indicating good workmanship?

4: FEEL.

Do you like the feel of the fabric? Are the seams straight and does the fabric line up properly? Most importantly, do you like the way it feels when you sit and relax on it?

5: PRICING.

Double check the price against other couches you have looked at. Good quality can be found in all price ranges.

6: MEASUREMENTS.

Make sure it fits, but doesn't overwhelm. Additionally, you want to make sure it isn't dwarfed by your other pieces. - 15615
