HBT: Tigers are still interested in Jason Marquis

UPDATE: ESPN?s Jim Bowden reports that the Nationals will receive prospect shortstop Zach Walters from Arizona. The Diamondbacks are expected to cover the $2.47 million left on Marquis? contract.

Walters, 21, is batting .302/.377/.485 with nine homers, 56 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 412 plate appearances with Class A South Bend this season. Baseball America ranked him as the organization?s No. 29 prospect coming into the season.

4:46 PM: FOXSports.com?s Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Diamondbacks have agreed to a trade with the Nationals for right-hander Jason Marquis. It?s not yet known who the Nationals will receive in return or if they will pay any of his remaining salary for this season.

Marquis was scheduled to face the Mets this evening, but Yunesky Maya is expected to start in his place.

The Diamondbacks enter play today four games behind the Giants in the National League West and 4 1/2 behind the Braves in the Wild Card. They have struggled to find a reliable fifth starter for a while now, so Marquis represents an upgrade for the starting rotation.

4:28 PM: Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Diamondbacks are working to acquire Jason Marquis from the Nationals.

2:02 PM: Even though they bolstered their staff with the additions of Doug Fister and David Pauley on Saturday, the Tigers are still chasing after Jason Marquis, according to MLB.com?s Bill Ladson.

The Washington Post?s Adam Kilgore reports that the Nats and Tigers were extremely close to a Marquis deal on Thursday.? He indicated that the door was closed after the Fister trade, but Ladson is saying differently.

Kilgore also reported that the Nationals have Yunesky Maya traveling to Washington in case Marquis is traded prior to his scheduled start against the Mets tonight.

Marquis is 8-5 with a 3.95 ERA in 120 2/3 innings for the Nationals this season.? Following Fister?s addition, the Tigers have a rotation of Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello, Fister and Brad Penny.? Penny, who had a dispute with Victor Martinez on the field Thursday, may be the odd-man out if the Tigers acquire another starter.

ConocoPhillips 2Q profit drops but tops estimates (AP)

NEW YORK ? ConocoPhillips said Wednesday its second quarter profit dropped 18.3 percent but beat expectations. The year-ago quarter benefited from large gains as the company shed assets.

The Houston oil and natural gas company reported earnings of $3.4 billion, or $2.41 per share, for the April-June period. That compares with $4.2 billion, or $2.77 per share, for the same part of 2010 when Conoco reported $2.9 billion in asset sales.

Revenue increased 34 percent to $67 billion.

Analysts had expected earnings of $2.20 per share on revenue of $57.9 billion, according to FactSet.

Conoco has been aggressively shrinking its business, selling assets that haven't been as profitable as others. Earlier this month, the company announced it would follow crosstown rival Marathon Oil and split into two companies: one that focuses on exploration and production, and another that refines oil into gasoline and other fuels.

"We believe our investors will see significant long-term benefit from this repositioning," Jim Mulva, Conoco's Chairman and CEO, said in a statement.

The moves have been cheered by Wall Street, though the asset sales have cut into the company's global oil production business at a time when crude prices have risen. Oil and gas production dropped 25 percent year-over-year to 1.64 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. During that time, oil prices rose 46 percent to an average $103.90 per barrel and natural gas prices climbed 20 percent to $5.50 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Earnings dropped 39 percent to $2.52 billion for Conoco's exploration and production operation.

Meanwhile, Conoco's refining business reported $766 million in earnings after reporting a $279 million loss a year ago, thanks to higher prices for gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other refined products. Earnings also increased 44 percent to $199 million for Conoco's chemicals business.

Shares rose 54 cents to $74.15 in premarket trading.

Boat Insurance in Irvine | The Honest Business Report


Buying Boat Insurance in Irvine

Those of you who own boat will want to make sure
you get watercraft coverage.? Often times, people
don?t realize that they need this type of coverage
for their boats.? There are many boat owners that
don?t even realize this type of boat insurance in Irvine is
even available.

You need boat insurance in Irvine if you own a boat, it?s
that simple.? Before you buy boat insurance, here
are some things you simply must know.

-? Many states now require that you carry watercraft
liability coverage.? What this coverage does, is
protect you against any damage that you cause to
other people or their property with your boat.? This
insurance will also cover you for vandalism, theft,
fire, stranding, sinking, and even collision.? You
should always call your insurance agent and see
what?s required with your state and what policies
they cover.

-? There is also optional coverage that you should
really consider.? One type of coverage that you
should strongly consider is Wreckage Removal.? In
most areas, the removal of sunken or wrecked
boats is required by law, and the responsibility
of the owner to pay for the removal, which can

you.? You should also consider adding coverage
that will pay for repairs and mechanical failure
as well, along with towing charges - should you
ever need to be towed back to the shore.

-? Not all insurance companies cover everyone who
operates the boat.? This is something you should
always ask about, find out who is covered when
operating the boat.? There are several companies
that will only cover the owner of the boat.? Make
sure that the insurance agent defines who is
covered when operating the boat.

-? When you shop for boat insurance in Irvine, call your
current company first, then check with other
companies to see what type of rates they offer as
well.? Always remember that insurance agencies
are in competition with each other, and they?ll
work with you to get you to join them.? Let one
know about a better rate that you?ve been quoted
and see if they?ll go one better.

Before you shop for boat insurance in Irvine, think about
the investment you have made with your boat.? Boats
are not cheap, replacing or repairing them isn?t
cheap either.? Therefore, you should always make
sure you get the coverage you need to protect you
against anything that happens with your boat.

Understand What It Takes to Pick a Profitable ... - Internet Business

There are a few important elements to keep in mind when picking a target market for your online business. So let?s jump right in and find out exactly how you should go about picking a profitable target market. It does not matter what type target market you need to identify, whether it?s the Willie Crawford website traffic category or any other category, you need to focus on acquiring the proper market 1st.

Overcome Problems: A major consideration when choosing the right market is to consider what specific problem the people within your market may be facing. If your target market has a big problem that constantly brings in hurdles or slows down things, then it?s a winner. Any product you can mention is there to specifically cater to the problems, issues or obstacles customers are trying to overcome. The key here is to look for a target market in which people are willing to pay good money in order to access the solutions they need to solve their problem. For instance, if you had chosen the market that includes ?computer users?, you may want to think about the problems they want solved. There are plenty to choose from, but spyware or adware could be considered as persistent problems that need to be fixed. Perhaps your customers would appreciate a product designed to remove malware from their computers. If you can pinpoint the problem your product will be ideal for solving, people will be happy to buy it from you.

Look at the Numbers: In order for a target market to be truly profitable, it has to be big enough to justify putting your resources into it. Marketing is really a numbers game, so if your target market is negligible, your results in terms of profits will also be disappointing. In order to survive in tight markets your product needs to be extremely consumable, which is why you should try to go for markets that have a good number of people willing to spend money. The target market that you go after needs to be big in size, at least to such an extent that it becomes easy for you to earn the right level of profits. If you find evidence that a market is likely to dry up very quickly, it would make more sense to focus your energy in another direction. For instance, in case you see that your NameCheap related market offers an excellent opportunity then go for it.

Find a Narrow Niche: You?ll find marketing much easier if you choose a narrow focus for your niche. You have less chance of attracting the precise customers you want if you aim too broadly. When you aim at a really tightly focused segment of the market, you have a higher chance of reaching serious customers willing to buy right now. If you consider a really broad niche like ?dog training?, you?ll see that there are plenty of people looking for this topic, but many of them will be seeking only specific aspects that suit their needs. So you could choose to really hone in on a specific segment of a broad niche, like ?train your dog to stop barking? and reach the exact audience you want based on what information they need.

In conclusion, from the above article we can clearly understand that finding a good target market that is not only sustainable but also profitable is all about focusing on building a strong foundation right from the start. So go ahead and start applying these tactics straight away to your DirectoryPress coupons business and see what kind of response you get.

A new guest post? ? Veritas Aculeus

I?m always inspired by commentors to my posts, but sometimes their own words are enough to be posted on their own merits?this is one of those circumstances?

This?post is one of that type of?comment from reader Dave Francis on one of?my posts.

I thought his response warranted a guest post and?since I?ve been unable to verify his status as a blogger and since I thought his comments so insightful but yet a little bit naive, here is his response to An Illegal Aliens Guide to the top five places to live in America:

His comments:

?Stop the Discretionary Spending on the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT invaders.

Notably the gargantuan problem with illegal immigration, both illegal and illegal is CHAIN MIGRATION. It stems from the initial legitimized individual who attains citizenship can then sponsor family members. Family consists of Wife or Husband, Child under 21and unmarried all all have immediate admittance into the US. A US Citizen can also sponsor a son or daughter who is 21 years old or over, a married son or daughter of any age, and a brother or sister, who falls into the DERIVATIVE category. The derivative classification has a waiting period of many years as it takes to process. The sponsors will need to demonstrate adequate income or assets to support the intending immigrant, and accept legal responsibility for financially supporting their family member, by completing and signing a document called an Affidavit of Support. Sponsoring these family members is all well intentioned and good, but the main issue comes when the sponsor, who must a sign an affidavit of financial support, intentionally or for whatever reason, fails to honor his commitment.

This part of immigration law, is hardly ever enforced so the recipients, have little choice but to apply for welfare assistance from the State and municipal government. The bottom line for any mass amnesty or as recorded Immigration Reform, gives those who are naturalized the right to petition (Form I-130 Petition for alien Relative) for their whole family, to legally enter America. But hundreds of thousands these petitions millions are processed and this has become an escalation of CHAIN MIGRATION, since the 1986. After the Hart/ Celler Act of 1965 when the Bracero Program was disbanded, the incentives and effects of chain migration perpetuated volume illegal migrants and immigration to the United States. In America? ?chain migration? and its terminology is to? enlighten people why legal immigration has quadrupled in replicating levels throughout the 1960s. As such, ?chain migration? is branded as one of the principal causes of the United States? current immigrant population explosion.

NumbersUSA, a a million plus organization that lobbies Congress for lower levels of immigration, states that, ?one of the chief culprits in America?s current record-breaking population boom and all the attendant sprawl, traffic congestion, school overcrowding, health care deterioration, street garbage and other impacts that reduce American?s quality of life. NumbersUSA cites the tradition of chain migration to America as a main cause for creating incentives for undocumented immigration.

NumbersUSA, FAIR, and other groups are working to change immigration law to limit chain migration laws. NumbersUSA cites a specific bill it supports. ?On Feb. 4, 2009, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) introduced the Nuclear Family Priority Act (H.R. 878). The bill would eliminate the extended family visa categories (e.g., married sons and daughters of citizens, etc.), thus ending ?chain migration? as optional by the bi-partisan Barbara Jordan Commission in 1997.

Today, passage of the Dream Act is cause for worry or any kind of mass Immigration Reform, would jeopardize the minimum of entrances to the US, through CHAIN MIGRATION. One point to this quandary is America has a major deficit problem, that has risen to new heights of $14.5 Trillion dollars under President obama?s signature hand. Simply put, we cannot afford to be the breadwinner for the rest of the world anymore. If we haven?t the cash anymore to pay the Chinese Investors and others, how can we afford an Amnesty estimated to cost $2.6 Trillion dollars? Never mind the original giant Amnesty of the 1986 Immigration Control and reform Act, cost only 76 Billion dollars. This is just a projection of the Census Bureau?s 11 million illegal aliens who have homesteaded here. But most activist organizations are of the opinion, there are more than 20 million living illegally in the US, while 8 million plus foreigners have employment.

In this dragging recession how can Democrats, even discuss such an issue? Have the liberal progressives lost their minds, when there are 13 million American out of a job? It?s too incomprehensible, to even conceive such an awful situation for the lower income workers having to compete with this new source of potential hires? The majority of illegal aliens today are-ECONOMIC; they are here for their share of discretionary spending at Federal, State or Municipal level.

One of the largest costs that would certainly make a difference is cutting benefits to illegal aliens.? $113 Billion dollars, from the Federal government, that is not counting State, County and community for these hundreds of welfare and public services.? Few know the amount of money paid out to parents of a child that receives an immediate birthright citizenship.? Each child receives entitlements of what US citizens get, even though the parents are illegal.

EACH YEAR 300.000??? PLUS BABIES ARE SMUGGLED ANNUALLY INTO AMERICA IN THE MOTHERS WOMB, TO GAIN THE SPECIAL PRIVILEGE OF A MISINTERPRETED LAW; THE 14TH AMENDMENT. Once here and the parents are allowed to stay, the?ECONOMIC?family can then collect from taxpayers.? So what does these entitlements consist of to the taxpayer? For a start cash payments of around $600.00 according to the State, that can double, triple for ever baby born. Food stamps, Medicaid Wic (WIC) is a nutrition program for women, infants and children), (TANF) Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Low Income housing. The most disturbing effect of this particular issue, that other family member can join those already here and hid away in their government backed homes.

As thousands of people join the TEA PARTY, it is obvious that they have the right avenue towards building a better tomorrow. Their ticket to the 2012 elections is less government, less taxes (A fair taxing system, without loopholes for everybody) and reducing Illegal Immigration to a real trickle. When states like Arizona cannot rely on the US government, to construct the?REAL FENCE?at the border, then it has been forced by huge entitlement programs for foreign nationals crossing our sovereign perimeter to build another 78 miles of the fence through public and commercial donations. States are waking up as the look at their dwindling amounts of money in their treasuries? California, the first Sanctuary State that?s Liberal Congress, gives away freely benefits to millions of illegal alien homes. That?s why they are trying to climb out of a giant financial hole of $26 Billion dollars. ALABAMA, GEORGIA, ARIZONA are doing the right thing for their legal population, by enacting policing laws. Many states looking on are now supporting these restriction issues, because both political parties have ignored the laws to aid taxpayers. These new laws are?WORKING? because thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands are deserting these?zero tolerant?States and rushing of to California, Nevada and other refuge States.

Insist you?re Representative in Washington, that they rescind any Immigration reform bills, Sanctuary Cities and state, the Dream Act and anything that has the rotten stench of AMNESTY. Liberals and open border brain-dead individuals, always refer to every foreign aliens, as ?Immigrants?? tying everybody together in one population. No matter your country of origin, whether Hispanic, European, Asian or the Pacific Rim, if you come here legally, there should be no fear of the E-Verify and Secure Communities. TO REPEAT ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS. THEY ARE ILLEGAL AND ENTERED A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY WITHOUT PERMISSION. LEGAL HIGHLY SKILLED WORKERS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO PRIVILEGED VISAS, BUT WE MUST REMOVE THROUGH WHATEVER MEANS POSSIBLE TO DEPORT ILLEGAL Currently, illegal aliens are not only stealing jobs (should be a felony) from less schooled citizens, but residents and even students during the seasonable recess. NATIONALS. This is a very distasteful situation but birthright citizens and legal non-citizen individuals have a right to be employed over foreign nationals.?

He included representative phone numbers and e-mail addresses for the congresspeople that might represent his interests?Dave I hate to tell you this but they don?t give a rat?s ass about?your concerns?

I do, that?s why I write this blog?

Dave, you?re better off working with individuals like me and all my compadres in this sphere to get the?information out there?that we all are going to?need?when the?inevitable collapse happens?that?s when we find out who is with us or against us?

It?s not going to be?any of your?(supposedly) elected representatives?

Motivation - Can Online Change Management Training Benefit a Company?

The internet has certainly increased the way in which people approach education. In the past, the only way to attend a formal course of study was to physically visit a particular learning center. While this process has certainly not disappeared, it is now joined by various alternative processes for learning. One such method is online distance learning and for many companies, the ability to enroll employees in online change management training is a huge help.

Really, any process that can help expand the knowledge base and skills of the employees can prove quite helpful. This would be true not only of change management training but also of p3o training and business analysis training. Most companies, however, will be centering on change management training since it is so vital to the future success of a company. A company that does not have adaptable or flexible employees is doomed to suffer in a changing environment. That is why effective training programs are so very necessary to institute.

As much as most companies would wish otherwise, there are time constraints and limitations regarding what can be done in the office. Because of this it becomes necessary to look towards alternate means of training in order to arrive at a successful educational process. This is where an online distance learning procedure comes into play. By instituting long distance training, employees can casually learn the material at their own pace. This, in turn, can improve office functions immensely. Additionally, online change management training can prove less costly which is another helpful benefit that companies should never overlook.

Hot Women's Hairstyles for Long Hair ? Beauty, Health and Fitness

There are some gorgeous hairstyles for women with long hair this season. Whether you like to wear your hair up or down, have fine hair or thick, there is sure to be a look that you will fall head over heels in love with. Of course, in addition to actually knowing the hot styles, you must also learn how to create them. As such, you may need to experiment, as some will require patience and time.

Wavy tresses

You?ve probably seen this style on almost every actress with long hair this season, and you can get the same beautiful look. It is an elegant way to dress up for a special or casual event. No matter where you plan to go with the long curls, you can achieve the look a few different ways. The first is to head to your favorite salon with a photo of the curls that you want. Tight, wavy curls are going to involve a perm in most cases. This is going to be fairly permanent and a little costly, too.

The other way to get the wavy look is by setting your hair in pin curls. Start with towel dried hair that is still damp to the touch. You?ll also need a large amount of bobby pins and a comb ? preferably the ?rat tail? kind that helps to divide the hair into segments. If your hair is very fine, you may want to put a setting lotion in your hair first. Wrap a 1 inch section around your finger and hold it in place with a bobby pin. Continue through your entire head or hair and then either sleep on it or blow it dry on low. Release the bobby pins, comb your hair gently, and admire the new waves!

Long swept bangs

If you?ve already got long bangs, don?t leave them hanging in your face all season long. Instead, sweep them to the side and incorporate them into the back of your hair with a hair clip. Start just below the temples and gather up a few inches of hair on both sides and bring them towards the back, scooping up your bangs in the process. Find an elaborate hair clip to keep it all pinned back for an added touch of elegance.

French braids

Traditional French braids are a very classic style, but instead of going down the back of your head, go for something that is more ?Bohemian chic.? You can achieve a sideways French braids by parting your hair sideways and then braiding it along the hairline. This will keep a lot of the hair out of your face and give you a fun new look. Plus, you don?t have to do anything with the rest of your hair.

Add layers

Visit your hair stylist to place some long layers into your lengthy hair. This will make styling much more fun because you can go for some fun and unique up-dos using chopsticks, or keep it long and functional without it just hanging. It will look much more stylish without losing the length.

Insurance For Cars Utilized In Competitive Motor Sports

???

By : Samson Muric ?? 4 or more times read
Submitted 2011-07-21 19:08:57 If you've ever visited 'the track' as motorsport spectators refer to it as, then you'll understand that there tend to be lots of automobile enthusiasts out there. Even on a scorching hot summer's day when the sunshine is shining down on the viewing stands not to mention that the tar in the racing grid happens to be virtually melting, individuals still turn out in great numbers to watch 'drifting' and quarter-mile races. Individuals can possibly show up to watch vehicle rallies when it is pouring with with the car tires can be spewing wet dirt. This is all very well but what has people's enthusiasm for motor sport got in common insurance for cars?

Okay, before explaining the link between motor sports and insurance for cars we feel it important to mention that everybody that possesses an automobile is likely to be aware of the need to insure their automobile against accidents and theft, for example. It is basically not possible to get by without having some form of vehicle protection nowadays what with the alarmingly crowded roads and freeways many of us have got to navigate on our journey to and from work every day, let alone the threat of automobile theft as well as hijacking. This sort of thing is usually included in 3rd party, fire and theft policies and also by comprehensive automobile coverage policies but may not extend to damages to a car caused by unusual circumstances.

Motor sport competitors who possess cars that they make use of specifically for racing or rallies, for instance, will have to acquire a specific kind of protection for these automobiles through insurers specialising in antique and sporting cars because auto racing isn't covered by regular insurance. Rally, racing and vintage vehicles are classified as 'special interest vehicles' therefore there are special criteria in terms of insurance coverage. Kit vehicles and muscle cars, including cars that have been customized for racing likewise tend to fall into this category. Paradoxically, it's thought that more could go wrong during transportation or routine maintenance of a vehicle used in racing, for instance, than when it is literally racing therefore much of the coverage for racing cars is related to damage taking place away from the race track rather than on it.

Many of the spectators who watch motor sports are automobile enthusiasts who've modified their own vehicles to a certain extent in order to improve its functioning on the road. Having said that, these folks tend not to use their street vehicles to compete in free-for-all quarter-mile events, for example, as it puts unnecessary wear and tear on engines, and car tires in particular. These people go to the track to observe other drivers as it would simply be too costly for them on the whole to race using their personal vehicles.

When it comes to insurance for cars which are customized by means of body kits, turbochargers, performance exhaust systems and through lowering of the suspension, etc, the rates tend to be higher than for unmodified cars due to expense of replacing this technology. If you possess a customized vehicle, it is wise to mention the customizations even if it becomes necessary to pay more than one normally would to insure your vehicle.

Acer K11 Projector


The Acer K11 Projector ($379 list) is highly portable, and can run presentations from a computer or off a USB thumb drive or SD card. At 200 rated lumens, this palmtop data projector is brighter than its palmtop projector peers that we've tested. Its image quality is decent for both stills and video.

The K11 has the looks of a classic palmtop mini-projector: black (glossy on top, matte on the sides?where not broken by grilles for ventilation and to expose the speaker). The projector is a nearly square box, measuring 1.7 by 4.6 by 4.8 inches (HWD)?it might fit in a winter coat pocket, but it would be tight. I weighed it at 1.25 pounds, with the power adapter and cord adding just over a pound more. The Editors' Choice Dell M109S is even smaller and lighter, but it's dimmer at 50 lumens and more limited in features, lacking a remote for one thing.

On top of the K11 is a four-way controller with center button, with which you can access the menu system. It also comes with a tiny remote control, smaller than business card (if not as think).

The K11 has a native resolution of 856 by 600 pixels, a rated brightness of 200 ANSI lumens (bright for a palmtop), and a rated contrast ration of 2,000:1. Inputs include VGA, composite video, and HDMI ports. It can operate as a standalone projector, running off a USB thumb drive or SD card./p>

Performance
In my testing using DisplayMate software (www.displaymate.com), image quality proved typical of a palmtop projector. Some minor artifacts?a recurrent shadow at one edge of the field of view, and some slight tints?were visible, but didn't seriously detract from the viewing experience. The projector did well in displaying both very bright and very dark grays.

As a DLP projector based on TI's Digital Light Projection, the K11 is subject to the rainbow effect, in which white areas on the screen are broken into their constituent (red/blue/green) colors, particularly in moving images or when one's eyes move quickly. I'm not particularly sensitive to the rainbow effect, and although I noticed a trace of it in both still and moving images, it did not approach the level of distraction.

Video quality was good enough to show clips as part of a presentation, and it is adequate for showing a full-length movie in a small room. As is often the case with small projectors, the video quality is better than the audio. The K11's 1-watt internal speaker can only be heard in its immediate vicinity, and its sound quality is mediocre. The projector lacks an audio-out jack, so it can't be used with powered external speakers. The Editors' Choice BenQ Joybee GP1 ($500 street, 4.5 stars) provides a louder (2-watt) speaker and an audio-out jack.

The Acer K11 Projector is bright for a palmtop projector, with a good range of connectivity options, including HDMI-in as well as the ability to run presentations off of a USB thumb drive or SD memory card. It image quality for both still images and video is good, but its weak 1-watt speaker and lack of audio-out confine the use of video to short clips as part of a presentation, or staying in the immediate vicinity of the projector if you're watching a movie. The BenQ Joybee provides louder audio as well as audio-out. But if you plan to stick to data presentations, the K11 is just as capable, and available at a lower price.

COMPARISON TABLE
Compare the Acer K11 Projector with several other projectors side by side.

Why buy flood insurance in Charleston, SC or Coastal Carolina ...

Lindsey Kuck from King Street Agency explains:

Flood is our nation?s leading natural disaster, which is enough to convince me that flood insurance in Charleston, SC is a must have in any zone. Just remember, anywhere it rains it can flood; EVERYBODY is in a flood zone. There is a chance of rain almost every day in Charleston and when it does rain you won?t find me driving through those flooded downtown Charleston streets. Just think, if it floods this much within 1-2 hours of heavy rain, what would it look like if we had a hurricane with several hours of heavy downpour? Not good, I can only imagine as I was not here to witness Hurricane Hugo.?

Flood insurance in Charleston can be relatively inexpensive, as little and maybe even less than $348 a year for the maximum coverage in some places. (This equals out to less than $30 a month) However; if you are in one of the higher risk zones of Charleston, the premiums can be costly not to mention unavoidable if you are required to have it by your lender.?

In efforts to save money, homeowners are quick to reduce flood coverage. During a hurricane the last thing you want is to be underinsured since this is the only thing that is protecting one of your most important assets in the event of a flood. Your homeowner?s policy will not cover flood damage. ?A measly 1 inch of flood water in your home may cause more damage than what you think, check out the flood cost guide tool on www.floodsmart.gov.? Rather than lowering flood coverage, there may be some cosmetic changes you can make to your home to reduce your premium. (Check with your insurance agent or www.floodsmart.gov) If there is nothing you can physically change on your home to help your flood insurance rate you can try increasing your deductible. If this still doesn?t help, talk to your agent, there might be another area in your insurance portfolio that you can find savings on to help offset higher flood insurance premiums.

Avoid Small Business Ruin By Engaging In Self Improvement | Robb's ...

If you want to make a different kind of investment in your business, and your self, then simply decide to adopt a self improvement plan of action. What could you do? Well, what about the things concerning your self that you already have some awareness about. The truth is, and you probably know this, we all tend to hurt ourselves more than anybody else. So it is natural and does not mean there is anything ?wrong? with you. What happens is you are creating inner conflict, unknowingly, and your deepest beliefs are not in accordance with your conscious actions. Your conscious mind, though, has less influence on your life than you realize. You will need to have courage, but there are ways for you to stop the sabotage.

If you have difficulty with trying new things, then this could be just a case of being too comfortable with your own space. If that?s the case, then it?s plain you are not comfortable leaving your normal routines behind and focusing on something new. This is not a problem just limited to you. Almost everyone experiences this discomfort from time to time. Honestly realize that you are going to have to face, and overcome, different scenarios that will not be normal for you. It?s important that you identify the factors that cause you anxiety and the areas in which you can function in comfort. So perhaps the easiest way to work on this is to take baby steps. The secret is to start with something that is somewhat difficult, but not too threatening. Continue to plug away at your first challenge until it?s conquered. You will feel better able to tackle the next step after the first one is successful.

As a general rule, we tend to filter out, or rationalize, the things we don?t want to take into account. This is just human nature. We all know that reality can be frustrating and discouraging, at times. But there are jewels waiting for us even in such times, as well. Nevertheless, as business owners we have to maintain an objective outlook, or perspective. The only way you will know what you should do with your business to keep it on track is to make sure you perceive it realistically. If you truly listen to what?s going on in your head, it may help you see your situation in a new, clearer light. Wishful thinking is counter-productive, but most people do it and know when they are doing it. So be sure to eliminate as much subjectivity as possible, and your business will be stronger for it.

If you are at the point where you have outsourcers and actual teams working for you, then first of all that is great. However, be aware of the type of manager you are, and you do want to stay away from being over-bearing or interfering. All we would like to recommend is for you to note whether or not this is something you normally with anyone else. We know you do not want to do anything that will potentially be negative for your business. So, the first and most important step is to become aware of it, and then you can move from there. Controlling people have some amount of fear of the unknown and have to keep everything totally predictable. Once you understand that keeping that kind of control on people is not really necessary, then it will be better for you, too.

Using self improvement as a means of greater success in business is simply a smart approach. Also, it is important and interesting to note that very many business owners avoid doing it. The wise, successful business man or woman is the one who knows instinctively that if they work to improve themselves, their business will also grow and be more successful. There are those who become successful who don?t worry about improving themselves, but they are the exception rather than the rule.

Regardless of what kind of company you have, you must have a solid policy for dealing with your clients. Without this, you will have a much tougher time. Consider creating and implementing a good customer support plan today.

Cheap Cell | Cell Phone Accessories = Awesome! - Communications ...

Lowerpriceusa.com presents a convenient way to purchase quality Cell Phone accessories and electronic accessories supplies at competitive prices. Lowerpriceusa.com has the solution for you. We strive to always offer the lowest prices, and be the ultimate online source for all of our consumers needs.

Online PR News ? 12-July-2011 -New cell phone accessories are arriving at cell phone accessory stores each and every day. Most customers simply want a new cell phone case . However, there are other accessories available for purchase including cheap cell phone faceplates .

New Accessories Arriving Every Day

It does not matter which cell phone company a customer has, or the type of phone, there are plenty of accessories. Customers on a budget may wish to check out the cheap accessories; those that are not on a tight budget certainly will find plenty of options. Many customers know that they can choose a ringtone in order to personalize their phone. Not many customers know about the accessories that they can also use.

Customers on a budget will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of options that they have to accessorize their phone. Even older phones can be decorated with a new phone case or a new faceplate. There are lots of other accessories too. In order to find out more about the options available, customers can check out their cell phone company?s website, call their cell phone company, or stop into the local office.

This means that customers can purchase a cheaper phone and customize it to make it look like they?ve spent quite a bit of money. A new faceplate, a trendy new case, or other accessories can make quite a statement. Even if you do not or cannot afford the latest phone, accessories can really help to make a phone look attractive. Why should customers on a budget not be able to have nice things?

Sometimes, customers may not be able to find the accessories that they want on their budget. If this is the case, the customer should ask if any other accessories are available. Sales people and customer service agents can order accessories that will fit into the budget of even the most cost conscious consumer. Otherwise, customers on a budget can check online at different auction sites to see if the accessories that they want are at a price that they can afford. Many times, customers will have success with this tactic.

Checking online is also a good idea if a customer wants the accessories for an older phone. Sometimes, accessories are out of stock or simply are not being manufactured due to the age of the phone. Of course, most consumers like to keep upgrading their phones, but not everyone can or wants to do so.

In Conclusion

Being on a budget does not mean customers need to do without cool accessories. There are various types of accessories available for customers who are on a budget. Customers who are on a budget should look to see the accessories that are available at their local cell phone store or check their retail stores. If a customer still can?t find the accessories that they are searching for, they can then do a web search. This is a great way to find websites that carry the accessories that they need and want at a price they can afford.

When Is It Time to Buy a New Computer? | Golds-Press UK

Article by Joe Palver

Have you found yourself wondering lately if it?s time to replace your current computer system with a new computer? Deciding when it?s time to buy a new computer is not quite as easy as it might seem.Computer technology continues to change rapidly. Processor performance increases, RAM become less expensive, operating systems from both Microsoft and Apple improve and change versions, and new devices and connections such as rewritable DVDs and HMDI come along. At the same time laptop computers, and now netbook computers, have put more and more features into smaller and lighter weight portable computers.

Eventually the thought of upgrading or replacing your computer system gathers momentum. Pertinent questions include: how does this evolving technology fit within your budget; do you really need any of this new technology; is your current computer adequate; could you just upgrade your current computer without having to buy a whole new system; and is now a good time to buy a new computer?

Key factors that may set you on the upgrade/replace path are: your current computer is having significant problems (crashes, slow performance, old version of Windows, etc.); you have a desire to use hardware or software technology that your current system can?t handle effectively; or you just plain want a faster computer.

Another reason for replacing your current computer may be increased mobility. If you currently have a desktop or tower (floor standing) computer but you want a portable (laptop/netbook) computer, the choice is relatively clear ? buy a new computer. No amount of upgrading, troubleshooting, or waiting will turn your desktop computer into a laptop computer.

Laptop, and more recently, netbook computer manufacturers are producing systems that are lighter, faster, and more full-featured than ever before. While there are a significant number of lightweight and ultra-light weight systems for people on the go, there is also a growing class of laptop computers that have been given a label of ?desktop replacement? systems. These laptops are geared towards user who want the power of a desktop system but still want to be able to have a system with some mobility.

Assuming that portability isn?t the main question, what other reasons are most compelling for purchasing a new computer? Some of the technology changes that may make upgrading your computing environment desirable include:

1. New Windows Versions: The newest version of Windows adds many new features and capabilities but can also require greater CPU power and larger amounts of RAM.

2. New Applications and digital media can demand substantial processing power, memory, and data storage capabilities that can overwhelm some older computers.

3. New Hardware Devices: Newer technology has become available in the last few years including rewriteable DVD drives (DVD+/-RW), high capacity hard drives ? up to 2,000GB (2TB) for desktop computers and 500GB for laptop computers, and higher performance video processors.

4. New Connectivity Options: Device connections such as USB 2.0, and faster wireless networks supporting the 802.11n standard.

5. Overall System Performance: Beyond faster CPUs and more memory, newer systems also allow the CPU to talk to main memory (RAM) and to the graphics processor at a dramatically faster rate.

6. Running Multiple Programs More Efficiently: All those programs that load when you boot your system and run in the background require system resources such as memory, processing power, and data storage.

7. Battery Life: Longer battery life on laptop and netbook computers.

Still not sure about upgrading? You are not alone. Your situation may be a case of ?If it ain?t broke, don?t fix it.? If your system is running fine, provides a level of performance acceptable to you, and meets all of your current needs, stick with it.

Successful Online Business Marketing: The 5 Myths You Need to ...

If you talk to some online marketers, they?ll tell you that traffic is all that matters. Others will focus exclusively on the importance of sales. Then there are still other marketers who believe that social media and online connections are the key to building a successful business.

Not a single one of these approaches by itself is enough. But together, they can all have a powerful impact on your business.

When you?re beginning online business marketing for your company, it?s important to understand that there is an entirely different set of rules than those of marketing principles for the brick and mortar world. Marketing online is about providing your users with answers, solutions and choices in a manner that is fast, informative, helpful and affordable. As you make choices about how your business will adapt to online marketing, be sure to avoid the trap of these five prevalent myths.

1. I know what my customers are searching for when they go to Google.

Though many people throw around the SEO buzzword, few of them actually understand how much real search engine optimization encompasses. It?s important for you to have some ideas of what your ideal customers are likely to be searching for, but this isn?t enough. You also need to use an actual tool that will tell you what search terms people are typing when they visit Google. By using a tool to search for keywords, you?ll often receive a wide range of response back, many of which you might not have expected. In order to truly optimize your site for search and promote your page with online business marketing, you need to include many of these keywords and their variations.

2. I don?t need a blog because no one reads those anymore.

Some people believe the age of the blog is over. These people believe that the only way to read blogs is to have a list fired up in your RSS reader that you check regularly. While many people might start RSS readers that they never return to, these people are still reading blogs every time they click through search results on the Internet. Blogs can take numerous shapes and forms. They are a great opportunity to provide clear, concise and free information to your customers.

Additionally, blogs still remain a favorite with search engines. They are updated regularly and tend to have higher-quality content than other sales pages a company might feature. When you implement a blog on your site, you greatly enhance your chances for better rankings and offer greater service to your customers.

3. Traffic is all that matters.

No matter how well you?ve optimized your site and what type of analytic tracking you?re using, traffic is not the only determining factor of your success. It is certainly important to keep track of your traffic and to try new strategies based on how traffic increases or decreases, but this measurement alone is not enough to give you a real picture of how your business is doing.

Traffic is an essential first step to making sales, but to succeed in online business marketing, you?ll also need to focus on how you?ll get those sales once you have the traffic. Be sure that your website is set up in a manner that encourages people to buy and that helps them find what they need easily. This brings us to our next step.

4. Hiring an expensive designer will improve my website.

Many people believe the false idea that hiring expensive designers will improve their websites. Design is an essential component of your company?s success; however, like many things, it is not the only thing that matters. Your site also needs to be easy to navigate and have a user-friendly appeal. A truly great design should always be in service of the customer. Be sure to test your website with real users to see how easily they are able to find things and whether or not they enjoy the experience.

Keep in mind that development is also an important part of your site?s success. It won?t matter how aesthetically appealing your site is if it takes too long to load and people click away out of frustration.

5. It?s easy for customers to find me on the web.

Once you have a website established and have begun optimizing your site for search engines, it?s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that people can find you easily online. Unfortunately, you?ll still need to keep in mind the importance of building traffic from multiple sources. Optimize your site for search engines, but also be sure to feature your page on social media sites. Write guest posts and purchase ads to get exposure to all different types of audiences.

Your website should also make it easy for customers to get in contact with you readily. Many websites feature a contact page, but customers can sometimes have difficulty finding these, particularly if it is buried within a link to another page. Consider posting your contact information in the footer of every page, as this makes it easy for people to find you any time they?re interested. This can also help to improve your local SEO efforts and build buzz around your pages.
