Credit Repair in Cedar Grove, North Carolina 27231
As we near the conclusion of 2011, the state of the American economy is deplorable. An unheard of number of people in America are jobless and the worth of the dollar is steadily heading downward. Taken together, these two facts make it very simple to fully grasp precisely why the economy is as it is, but many are left questioning just how things got to be as they are today. Each day that goes by inevitably brings about a new wave of people in America who are being forced into a dramatically diminished quality of life and pigeonholed into living paycheck to check while simultaneously overextending their credit in an effort to keep food on the table. But, did you know that the people of Cedar grove were amongst some of the hardest hit by the awful state of the overall economy?
Thankfully for the men and women of Cedar grove, however, there are many credit repair companies servicing the city of Cedar grove which not only offer debt solutions, but consumer credit repair services, which have been crafted to give protection to consumers against credit card companies and loan providers who come to be extra predatory when the financial environment is as bad as it is today. What's more, these debt solutions and credit repair services have been specifically tailored for men and women who have been hit hard by the current economic climate and who have begun to experience the predatory methods of credit card companies and loan companies who feast on people at their most vulnerable. Bearing that in mind, if you happen to be a citizen of Cedar grove, a handful of critical information will be spoken of below catering specifically to those located in Cedar grove, which range in subject matter from the leading credit repair practices to highly-esteemed and dependable credit repair companies that service the city of Cedar grove who are at the ready to help pull you out of just about any debt you've found yourself in.
To start, it will come as no surprise that having adverse credit can make it very difficult to do things as significant as securing a loan for a house or car, or as trivial as successfully obtaining a new credit card. A lot more so when the overall economy is in a recessive state and men and women are flocking to credit card companies in search of any means to a positive financial end. Because of that, for those men and women in Cedar grove who've found themselves earning only enough to pay off the interest on their bills, life can look pretty grim. Despite this reality, all it takes is the help of a single credit repair business servicing the city of Cedar grove for life to start looking better for those men and women.
Regardless of what your credit repair needs are, Lexington Law has the works: legal assistants to resolve any questions you have concerning how to repair credit, illustrations of credit repair letters, plus the capacity to schedule routine credit repair evaluations, amongst a number of other things. However you cut it, Lexington Law is far and above the go-to credit repair company for the inhabitants of Cedar grove that have found themselves over their head with money.
All set to turn your economic life around? Great! Simply call Lexington Law for a cost-free consultation at [phone] and a legal assistant well-equipped to solve any and all questions you have will be with you shortly. Do not give into the mounting stress you are currently dealing with on account of your mounting debt. It isn't the end of the world! But, if you carry on and let those outstanding debts mount up and refuse to seek a helping hand, you might as well kiss life as you know it farewell. Do not do that to yourself or your family. Call Lexington Law today!

My idea is a game made in the form of a FIGHTING MMORPG. Unlike most MMOs, where the key is to level up your character through winning battles, in this game as you gain experience regardless of whether you win or lose a fight. As you gain experience you can use this to unlock new jutsu and/or level up current jutsu you have (I will explain this more in detail later).
The main premise is that the player is a avid NARUTO fan. He/She is rushing home to play a new game and is inadvertently sucked into the digital world based on NARUTO. ( I know its kind of cheezy....but it works :P) Since the focus of this game is the player as the main character I thought a fitting name would be NARUTO: I AM THE ULTIMATE NINJA!
Character Creation
This will be the first process of the game. Players will be able to create their own unique character from scratch. Skin tone, hair style, facial features, tattoos/ body paint, etc. Some clothing and items will only be accessible if you reach a certain rank (i.e Anbu mask will only be accessible if you are a member of your villages anbu unit). In this section you will also select what village and clan you are a member of and choose you characters name. (i.e. if you choose the Uchiha clan then you type in the first name of your character as Dan, then the name of your character is Uchiha Dan)
You will also need to pick which style your ninja is better at Taijustu, Ninjutsu, or Genjustu (this will affect how effective you are with these types of moves in battle). So if your are a Taijustu style then using Taijustu will cost less charka, have faster speed, and do more damage than a Ninjustu or Genjustu move. Also when leveling up moves you have or learning new ones it would be better to incorporate moves that fit your style better. When picking a style you will select a Main style (the style your ninja will excel in) and then a sub type (the type your ninja is average at). So using the same example, if your main style is Taijustsu this will be use most effective in battle, and your sub type if your chose Ninjustu would do average damage, have average speed, and use an average amount of chakra. This means using a Genjustu move with this character would be pointless as damage would be minimal and the amount of chakra used would be large.
Another aspect you will need to select is your chakra affinity. When making a character you will only choose one chakra affinity of the main 5 elemental ones. You can master another as you progress in the game, and you will be required to have 2 chakra affinities in order to become a Jounin. However, the expectation to this rule is your character is apart of a clan that has one of the advanced chakra affinities through a kekkei genkai (i.e ICE). If you chose one of these clans you will automatically have three chakra affinities. For example, If you have ICE affinity you automatically get the affinity for WATER and WIND as well. The other exception will be if your character is a Rinnegan user which means they will have affinity for all 5 basic elemental ones.
The limit of the number of different characters you can create will be 10. This will give the player the ability to play around with ninja from different villages and clans, while in the process finding out which one he/she likes most. However, each character will be unique and moves/skills/experience will not transfer over. Basically each character you make is like starting a new game.
Aside from customizing your main character you should also be able to customize the look and the move of your aid characters.
After completing the creation process, the next will be the intro. The setup after you get sucked into this digital world of NARUTO, is that you just graduated from the Ninja Academy and your now a Genin. The next step is a quick tutorial showing you your controls for the character you created. Once completing this Tutorial (probably ending after you learn use of your awakening or ultimate jutsu) you then move on to become a Chounin. And from here the real fun begins.
This is where players will spend most of their time outside of character customization. There will be 2 ways to fight. Either a quickmatch or you can go to a lobby. Quickmatch you will be randomly givin an opponent. There are should be 5 different quickmatch options. Fire Country Quick Match, Water Country Quickmatch, and so and and so forth (one quick match for each main country). Choosing your own country in quick match will either set you in a fight with a fellow country member or an attacking ninja from another country. Choosing a quick match for another country will pit you as an attacking ninja from your country.
For the lobbies, there will be country lobbies, village lobbies, and clan lobbies. Once in a lobby you can chat or challenge/accept challenges from other players. There will also be secret lobbies that can be accessed by missing-nin that will require a password for entry in to the lobby. These lobbies can only be created by Missing-Nin
The main function of fighting will not only be to prove yourself as the ultimate ninja but to gain experience to progress your ninjas rank as well as unlocking new moves, items, ect. Completing a fight will award you EXP points that you can use to buy items and unlock new moves as well as other extras as you see fit. As I mentioned before you will gain EXP no matter if you win or lose, however you should get almost double the EXP if you win.
The other focus on fighting will be to improve the moves you are already using. By using the same moves in battle you can start to get closer to mastering them. Whether its a jutsu, combo, or throwing and item. The more you use it the more effective it will become in one of 3 main areas (speed, chakra consumption, and attack power). You will set what area you want to focus on when you first create or character and/or when you later customize your character further. However, once you choose what area you of expertise you want to focus on for that attack/combo you can't change it. TECH EXP will be applied to the move each time it is used (it doesn't have to hit the opponent, unless its the latter part of a combo, or an ultimate jutsu), then based one what area of improvement you have the move set on that is where the TECH EXP will be applied (i.e you are using Fire Blast and you have it set on speed, once you level up this attack with enough TECH EXP the speed of the attack will be increased making it harder to counter or use a replacement jutsu. If set on power then the FIRE BLAST will be come powerful and could possible give a higher chance for a guard break the more you level it up. If you have it set on chakra consumption then it wont take much chakra to use the move). Once a certain level is reached (I was thinking level 3) then you have mastered that move with either an emphasis on speed, power, or chakra consumption. TECH EXP will not be based on winning or losing a fight, it will solely depend on how much an attack, combo, etc is used and once it is used enough it is mastered.
Character Customization
This game should allow almost total customization. From clothing to combos, players should be able to change different aspects to make their character as unique as possible. You feel a certain combo would work for you character with a different jutsu or another attack it should be able to be changed and the moves should link almost seamlessly. For the combo customization it would probably be best to have a wide variety of combo starters whether they be ranged or close combat, and then the player can chose what move starts the combo, what move(s) are in the middle, and then what move finishes it. Basically they would have a list of moves that would work in said chain. As for items, jutsu, ultimate jutsu, and awakenings (outside of tailed beast users) that would be totally up to the player.

Promega's pTargeT™ Vector has been constructed to improve the cloning and expression of DNA fragments amplified by PCR or modified by addition of deoxyadenosine tails. The presence of the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase in the pTargeT™ Vector allows detection of recombinants by blue/white screening, a feature not shared by other mammalian expression T-vectors. Comparison of the pTargeT™ Vector to another commercially available expression T-vector demonstrates enhanced mammalian expression of Renilla luciferase from the pTargeT™ Vector by as much as 15- to 18-fold.

Since moving to new digs in 2007, Alpenglow Cafe hasn't missed a step.
OK, prices have gone up about $1 across the board since the cafe vacated its longtime Bond Street premises — where the newly expanded Deschutes Brewery Public House now stands — for the Columbia River Bank Building, on the former site of the historic Pilot Butte Inn, which was demolished in 1973.
But whereas buildings may be temporary, the quality of Alpenglow's fresh, tasty breakfasts and lunches has remained constant.
Service here is reliable if casual. It sometimes takes a little longer than one might like to get a morning coffee cup refilled, but the staff is gracious and attentive, quick to take and deliver orders from the spacious kitchen.
Decor is simple, with large windows facing a patio area on Newport Avenue. Local photographer Bruce Jackson's panoramic photo of the Three Sisters during alpenglow — the pinkish-toned first light of morning — is showcased on the cafe's west wall.
Small regional scenic photos by John Hart hang on the facing wall. But the room, which seats 44, lacks the sense of ski-lodge coziness that its name might suggest. Instead, there are stainless-steel overhead fans and ceiling ducts.
My dining companion and I have enjoyed four separate morning meals at Alpenglow in the past couple of weeks, and while I wouldn't call any of them spectacular, they offered solid, tasty fare with high-quality ingredients.
Our favorite was my friend's smoked salmon omelet, which she requested with egg whites. Smoked in-house, the salmon was neither too salty nor too fishy in flavor, as the fish can sometimes be. Dill and cream cheese were perfect complements. Hollandaise sauce (made with butter and lemon juice) came on the side, again as per her request.
I first opted for Mexican-style huevos rancheros, which my friend liked better than I did. A lightly toasted, plate-sized tortilla — I would have preferred it ungrilled — was topped with black beans and two eggs, fried over easy. It was finished with shredded cheddar, a sliced half avocado, pico de gallo and tangy cilantro pesto sauce.
On our next visit, my friend opted for eggs Benedict. While we didn't consider them "Bend's best," as the menu had promised, they were presented on a house-made English muffin, which immediately won points for the dish. She found it a little doughy but still with good flavor. Poached eggs were presented atop Deschutes bacon, custom-smoked locally in the manner of Canadian back bacon, and topped with hollandaise.
It was the bacon that made the dish, but coarsely chopped, pan-fried "home fries" were a worthy accompaniment. So, too, was a wedge of moist and delicious coffee cake, made with fresh apples and a toasted oat crumble, that might have been a breakfast in itself.
I broke from the pattern of eggs to try Alpenglow's Cascading Grains pancakes, made with a variety of grains — including wheat, rye, barley and rolled oats — plus large chunks of walnuts mixed into the batter. I was presented three large cakes, thicker and heavier than I had expected but not at all yeasty.
Despite a heavy-handed sprinkle of what appeared to be allspice, they were tasty enough, although I could only eat one. It took in moisture like a sponge. I found myself requesting extra butter and syrup — real maple syrup, from Vermont, according to the menu — to get through it.
We began a midday meal with a hearty soup of the day. My companion described the bacon-potato chowder as "like potato salad in a bowl." Peppery and cream based, it was mixed with minced carrots and green onion, and was delicious.
Her chicken sandwich, dubbed the 1040 Bond Street, featured a broiled breast on a house-made wheat bun, spread with pesto mayonnaise and topped with lettuce, tomato and red onion. Discovering that a feta cheese topping was not equally distributed on the chicken, she did a little handiwork by taking off the top half of bun and redistributing the cheese.
I found my Summit burger to be a little overcooked for my taste and its lightly grilled white-bread bun too big.
But a couple of slices of Deschutes bacon, along with sauteed fresh mushrooms and Tillamook cheddar, made it all better. The burger was also topped with avocado, tomato and red onion.
The bun was undressed, but plenty of options — mustards, ketchup and mayonnaise — were offered. And skin-on French fries were some of the best I've had in Bend.
One of the most impressive things about Alpenglow is its "freshness pledge," posted in the cafe by owners Daniel and Kimberly Gregg and reprinted on menus: Nothing is frozen. All breads are made fresh daily. All meat and dairy products come from Central Oregon purveyors. Maple syrup arrives directly from Vermont. No canned products are used. In fact, a $1,000 reward is offered to anyone who can find a can opener in the cafe — "no fair bringing in your own!"
That in itself, coupled with prices that are kept below most other popular casual cafes in Central Oregon, will keep me coming back.
Redmond's One Street Down Cafe is closed through the holidays for a major remodel that will see it expand its kitchen and dining areas. The restaurant has a strong local following for its daily breakfasts and lunches. 124 S.W. Seventh St., Redmond; www.onestreet downcafe.com, 541-647-2341.
Regular patrons can detour two blocks north to Coho Coffee. Breakfasts, including quiche, and lunches, including sandwiches and homemade soups, are priced no higher than $7.25. Open 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday. 623 N.W. Cedar Ave., Redmond; www .cohocoffeecompany.com, 541-526-0368.

76. | boyfriend | ||
A man who is willing to do anything for the one he loves.Makes sacrafices and puts you first! James this is you. You are my hero! You are the best boyfriend ever!
1. | boyfriend | ||
a great guy who make you feel good bout urself... a protector, and ur best friend keep ur hands off my boyfriend, bitch! he's mine!
2. | boyfriend | ||
Non-essential male counterpart. However, with the aid of a magical diamond attached to a golden ring, the boyfriend may transform into a more revered creature named "husband." My boyfriend proposed last night; he's the most amazing man I've ever met. Note: the usage of "man" here indicates status raise.
3. | boyfriend | ||
A male whom a female begins a relationship with. He is not essential to making the female a better person, but more so a person she can depend on for emotional support, sexual comfort, or life lessons.
1)A boyfriend, depending on how the girl feels about him can make a girl feel beautiful, special, a better person, and dependant on the happiness she recieves from him if he is a proper man. 2)A boyfriend can also be an enemy that the female cannot get herself away from because she feels as though she "needs" him, even though he may cause her physical, emotional, or psycological pain. 3)A boyfriend can be a wonderful or a horrible thing, but either way, they are always welcome 1)Hey, this is my boyfriend, and I love him to death
2)My boyfriend isn't so bad, you just don't know him like I do |
4. | boyfriend | ||
someone who is able to make you smile all the time, someone who you can trust and talk to about any thing. He should be the one who walks you home just incase, and buy you icecream =] He should also be someone who makes you happy when your down, and makes everything alrite when everything is shit. all the above describes my boyfriend
5. | boyfriend | ||
1. A male that one allows to regularly invade their pants.
2. A male that one relies on to hide their insecurities. 3. On rare occasion: A male that one truly loves. Hey, girl, meet my boyfriend.
6. | boyfriend | ||
The nice guy you settle for when you realize that the hot bad boys you fall for are just manwhores who make you cry as often as they make you come. I love my boyfriend because he likes to cuddle with me and he never looks at other girls.
7. | boyfriend | ||
Someone who makes your life seem like its worth living, someone who makes you feel loved, protects you, is always there for you.. A boyfriend is also someone you can define as the light of your life, the beat of your heart, the sun in your day and the stars in your night..
without him, you feel incomplete.. I love my boyfriend with all my being..
he is my boyfriend, i imagined this only to be but a good dream, and now it is a reality!! Luv you leath xoxox |

STYLE: Campbell | COLOR: Oceanside
Out of practicality and style, the neutral palette is growing darker and more refined it not only looks good, it's more forgiving. The brightest, lightest colors are giving way to darker taupes and beiges, more reflective of golden skin tones. This coincides with a large return to gray pure gray uninfluenced by any other colors.
An area rug is the perfect accent for any room in any home. Contemporary, classic, rustic or casual, an area rug let's you transform your home in an instant. Let it serve as a background element or a focal point. Pair it with a new or existing hardwood, tile & stone, or laminate floor to convey your style to everyone who walks through the door. Whatever its purpose, Shaw offers the quality, selection and value for your style and your budget.

I realise I'm clutching at straws here, but recently I've got it into my head I always want a camera to hand... every day and every situation. This entails a pretty small camera. I realise there are some high-end compacts but I can't justify the cost (my partner is going to go nuts at the thought of a second camera anyway).
So, does anyone know of a compact that is cheap (£200 or so), with a half decent optical zoom (x5 at least), that has full manual control? Things like a relatively large sensor would be nice, along with Raw capability, and image stabilisation would be a real bonus - then I could get pictures of flying pigs right?!
I'd gladly bin all the bells and whistles these things normally come with just for a bit of quality and control, but I can't find anything that doesn't have 50 scene selections but only two aperture settings!
Massive thanks for any suggestions.

Writer: Jon ChurchmanCast: Enric Majó, Laura Morante, Raf Vallone, Rosalía Dans, Jeannine MestreSpain, 1985, Episodes, colorSpanish with Turkish subtitles The life and times of Francisco de Goya served as the basis for this memorable 6-episode miniseries. Appropriately produced by TVE and filmed on historical location, it is a spectacle of interest not just for art lovers or Goya connoisseurs, but for anyone into well-crafted drama. Goya was a witness of the Napoleonic wars and of a nation in arms resisting the aggression with undismayed heart and soul. He was that ancient paradox of the artist: an extremely sensitive individual who also was a bullfighting aficionado. He was a womanizer in his own aesthetic and impassioned way; he was friends with kings and poets, and a victim of social and political prejudices. This series undoubtedly succeeds in honestly portraying him.The screening of these series is in collaboration with the Cervantes Institute.

Updated: Thursday, 19 Jul 2012, 2:40 PM CDT
Published : Thursday, 19 Jul 2012, 11:55 AM CDT
ATLANTA (AP) — Gay rights advocates were surprised Thursday that the president of fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has taken a public position against same-sex marriage.
Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy said this week that his privately owned company is "guilty as charged" in support of what he called the biblical definition of the family unit.
The Atlanta-based chain opened its first location in a Georgia mall in 1967 and grown to more than 1,615 restaurants in 39 states and Washington, D.C., with annual sales over $4.1 billion, according to its website.
"We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that," Cathy told the Baptist Press, the news agency of the Southern Baptist Convention.
His comments to the Baptist Press, the news agency of the Southern Baptist Convention, unleashed a mix of criticism and support.
"He's taking a bold stand," said Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, which is based in Washington, D.C. "Chick-fil-A is a bible-based, Christian-based business who treats their employees well. They have been attacked in the past about their stand. But they refuse to budge on this matter, and I commend them for what they are doing."
Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign that works for same-sex-marriage, said Thursday that Chick-fil-A "has finally come clean" after cloaking its positions for years.
"While they may have been in neutral, kicking this fight into overdrive now allows fair-minded consumers to make up their own minds whether they want to support an openly discriminatory company," Griffin said in a statement. "As the country moves toward inclusion, Chick-fil-A has staked out a decidedly stuck-in-the-past mentality."
Chick-fil-A released its own statement, saying it has a history of applying biblically-based principles to its business, such as keeping its stores closed on Sundays.
"The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender," according to the statement.
"Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena," it said.

"This donor is so generous by donating and joining The Salvation Army in doing the most good," said Algerome Newsome, The Salvation Army area commander. "What a blessing this person has provided to so many this Christmas."
The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program deadline is extended to Sunday, Dec. 9. With only four days left, there are still 651 Angels to be adopted and many more who have been adopted but their gifts have not been dropped off yet. The Salvation Army Angel Tree provides Christmas assistance for needy children, their families and senior citizens who would not otherwise receive gifts, including necessities like food and warm clothing. Angel Trees are at Hamilton Place, Northgate and Bradley Square shopping malls.
Monetary donations are still needed to assist with all Christmas programs, including the Angel Tree. Donations can be placed in any of the red kettles, mailed to 822 McCallie Ave. in Chattanooga, given online at csarmy.org or by calling 1-800-Sal-Army.
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has been supporting those in need without discrimination for 130 years in the U.S. Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. Eighty-two cents of every dollar spent is used to carry out those services in 5,000 communities nationwide. For more information, visit salvationarmyusa.org.

I eat hamburgers, hot dogs and bacon. I can also lose a couple of pounds. I don't particularly like healthy type restaurants. I feel obligated to tell you this because I know that whenever I write about "Healthy Menus", I hear from people with alternative views.
That being said, "A leaner menu may lead to a fatter wallet for those invested in the restaurant industry, research suggests."
"The chains that increased their reduced-calorie options saw a boost in business, including a 5.5 percent jump in same-store sales, a nearly 11 percent increase in customer traffic and about a 9 percent increase in total food and beverage servings."
"Meanwhile, the chains that offered fewer lower-calorie servings had a 5.5 percent drop in same-store sales, a nearly 15 percent decline in traffic and about a 16 percent reduction in total servings, the investigators found.
The restaurants involved in the survey included
McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Applebee's, Olive Garden, Chili's, Outback Steakhouse and others.
Are the researchers right? As you probably know, I am pretty good with statistics. I don't doubt that healthier food is a good thing. I do doubt that the healthier menus are as healthy as advertised. I do know that McDonald's and Burger King make their menus look healthier by offering apple slices to customers. Parents feel much better about bringing their kids to a fast food establishment that offers apple slices. I'm not so sure that too many kids are going for the apple slices.
It appears that those eating establishments offering healthier menus are gaining from the trend. There are plenty of people who choose only those restaurants with healthy menus. So, no matter how you feel about it, it's a very strong trend that all restaurants need to participate in.
It can't get easier.
If you are the owner or manager of a retail store or restaurant, this may be all you need to improve sales. It can't get easier.
Take this test. Go visit the competition. Many people do it. You need to go to the competition and see what they are doing better than you. Steal the best ideas. Other countries do it to the United States all the time.
Think of retail and restaurant competition as a good thing. If you have competition, that just makes it easier for your business to succeed. Just do what they are doing, but better.
Competition should be your friend. Check out your local mall. It is likely that you will find many shoe stores close to each other. You will notice that most of the eating places are in the "food court." Competition works. If lots of businesses are doing the same thing, you must have a winner.
So, all you need to do is visit the competition and do it better.
If you can't figure out how to do it better, close down and do something else.
Perhaps the #1 way to do better is to make sure that your sales people are enthusiastic. Enthusiasm doesn't mean that your sales person has to be bubbly or "get in the customer's face."
Enthusiasm means that your sales people are happy to see customers walk into your business and happy to help them make their experience more positive.
A good sales person believes in the products that they are representing. A good waiter or waitress believes in the food that they are serving.
McDonald's. I rarely see an enthusiastic McDonald's order taker. McDonald's is an exception. They have good locations, an inexpensive product, and have relatively good food at their price point. They may not need enthusiastic employees.
However, if you own a shoe store located in a mall, having enthusiastic employees make the difference between a successful shoe store and one soon to go out of business.
So, I urge you to visit the competition and check out the employees. You can tell the difference between a real enthusiastic employee and a phony. You customers can also tell the difference.
There are some restaurants that just have a great wait staff. People actually like them and visit the restaurant for that reason.
pcAmerica has succeeded because we have developed an exceptional sales staff. Each of our long term sales-people have great and unique assets. When we first started advertising Point of Sale products in Computer Shopper Magazine, we managed to outsell about two dozen competitors. We became the company that all others had to beat due to the skills and enthusiasm of our sales team.
Finding enthusiastic employees is not easy. You hire and you fire until you have the right employees for your business.
A salesperson minus enthusiasm is just a clerk. It's your business. Reward the best and fire the others.
Tip #3: Shut-Up
This tip will bring up your sales by 25%.
Remember how your mother told you that interrupting is rude?
Remember how your marriage counselor told you to listen to your spouse (before you got divorced and had to pay big alimony bills)?
Why should we listen? We already know what customers are going to say. We already know what employees have to say. We all know what our spouse is about to say. Isn't it a waste of time to listen to those things that we already know?
If you are the boss, owner or manager of a retail store or restaurant, your employees already know what you are going to say. Why say it?
The best way to see is to listen to your customers. You must train your employees to listen to customers Let your customers complete their sentences and thoughts. Wait until they are finished talking before you respond. Don't interrupt.
This doesn't mean that you are not allowed to speak. It does mean that you should allow your customers to take the lead.
When a customer asks you a question, you don't need to give them a lecture which shows how much you know. It's best to listen, digest, and possibly come back with short replies that may help you best understand your customer needs.
The best sales people, the best managers, and the best teachers all learn to listen and respond appropriately.
I don't want to give you a lecture so…I'm going to Shut-Up and Listen.
As a goal:
Talk 25% of the time
Listen 75% of the time
What's the #1 way to turn off your customers?
It's the bathroom.
Conversely, the #1 way to turn on your customers is to provide them with a clean bathroom.
Remember, everyone who enters your store is a customer or potential customer. Having signs prohibiting the use of your bathrooms to customers only is a big negative for your store. Yes. On occasion, you may find unwanted customers using your bathroom. It's just bad to ban all non-customers.
You never know when a potential customer will use your bathroom and actually become a customer or recommend your store to others.
I do remember those stores and restaurants that have suitable bathrooms. I also remember to give those businesses more of my business whenever possible.
Having clean bathrooms in your retail store or restaurant is extremely important. I've been talking about it for years. I hate going into a dirty bathroom.
How much is a clean bathroom worth?
What you sell 40%
Service 20%
Location 10%
Price 20%
Bathrooms 10%
What you sell (or food if you own a restaurant) accounts for 40% of your sales and profits.
Service accounts for another 20% of your business. If you have good service but bad products, service won't help you. On the other hand, you can have great products or food, but bad service.
Location is worth 10%. You can have great service and great products or food, but a bad location can ruin you.
Price is very important to lots of potential buyers. Great products, service and location all influence how much your buyers are willing to pay.
Finally, we have bathrooms. I think it can account for 10% of your business. Having clean bathrooms (especially if you own a restaurant) makes a big difference to lots of customer.
Here's a chart to make this more visual. You can disagree with me if you want. Retail store owners, just substitute Items you Sell instead of Food.
When operating your store, just think about these categories. Just don't discount your bathrooms.

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the first mass mailing of credit cards. As Patrick May at the San Jose Mecury News notes in his article, it all started in Fresno, Calif., when Bank of America sent a mass mailing of a small plastic card called the BankAmericard.
Credit cards actually have their roots much earlier in history, with the 1946 "Charg-It" card issued by a Brooklyn bank. As we know, the concept — giving Americans the ability to spend money they did not have based on a revolving signature loan — caught on big time. Today, the credit card industry is a nearly one trillion-dollar money machine.

By Ben Woolsey and Emily Starbuck Gerson
As far back as the late 1800s, consumers and merchants exchanged goods through the concept of credit, using credit coins and charge plates as currency. It wasn't until about half a century ago that plastic payments as we know them today became a way of life.
Early beginnings
In the early 1900s, oil companies and department stories issued their own proprietary cards, according to Stan Sienkiewicz, in a paper for the Philadelphia Federal Reserve entitled "Credit Cards and Payment Efficiency." Such cards were accepted only at the business that issued the card and in limited locations. While modern credit cards are mainly used for convenience, these predecessor cards were developed as a means of creating customer loyalty and improving customer service, Sienkiewicz says.

Tip #4: Your Best Customers are your Current Customers
Stop worrying about finding new customers.
Don't pay for newspaper advertising. Don't participate in those mailers.
Concentrate on those customers who enter your store.

Successful stores must Change or Die.
Best Buy has big problems It is the type of store that gets lots of lookers who wind up buying items seen at Best Buy online for less money.
Target has the same problem, but to a lesser extent. Target has changed its model by adding very cost effective groceries to its stores. Customers who buy their groceries there likely to purchase other Target items that yield a higher margin.

Good morning! Just a quick update: although DH has been back at work for some time and I have been in and out if my classroom, getting things ready, yesterday was my first official full day back at work. Our routine was so normal! DH came home, fixed his own lunch, walked the dogs and returned to work. After work I fixed dinner, then headed out the door to a zumba class. I know it doesn't sound exciting, but yesterday's ordinary was a day of celebration for us. We have learned to embrace and appreciate the every day routines. Make today a glorious one! Maine Lady | |||
I'm happy for you both. | ||||
Normal takes on a new appreciation for you and DH after the events of the last several months. Normal is good and never to be taken for granted again. Now you can devote your attention to watching for bears around your property. | ||||
How incredibly wonderful! Taking JOY in ordinary tasks is such a spiritual experience! Makes one really appreciate just being. We are doing same...sharing the joys So HAPPY for you! So very happy! And Zumba class! what a lady! Mary Ruth *****We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are! ***** (Anaias Nin)***** http://pinterest.com/mary_ruth/ | ||||
Maine Lady, What a nice celebration for you and DH. Yes, each day is a gift to enjoy. ~Like sands through the hourglass ~So are the days of our lives | ||||
It makes me smile to read this wonderful news. I am so very happy for both of you.. it is the ordinary events in life we often fail to see that are the most Joyous. | ||||
Wanda | ||||
Dear Mary Ann, I think all of us, your loving HGTV friends, delight in hearing an appreciation of "ordinary" and what a blessing it is in all our lives. You all have been truly tested in the past year and how wonderful to know that you have not been found wanting. You are a real living embodiment of one of my DH's favorite poems by Emily Dickinson: (1176) by Emily Dickinson We never know how high we are Till we are called to rise; And then, if we are true to plan, Our statures touch the skies— I'm sure that you will never look at life in the same way after as you did before and stressful, worrisome and difficult as that has been, you all have also been given a gift that will never leave you. Blessings on you all.This message has been edited. Last edited by: lady of shallot, | ||||
Your normal day brought tears to my eyes. I'm so thankful that you are experiencing normal again. | ||||
Yes, sometimes it takes extraordinary or tragic circumstances to show us how wonderful 'ordinary' can be. Good to be thankful for even the small positive occurrences in our lives. Nice to hear your routines are back to 'normal'. Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
so glad you're back to "normal"...revel in it! | ||||
Thank you, Indexlady! Mamaspoon, thanks! We haven't seen any bears for almost a year. I keep my eyes open all the time, though! MaryRuth, I whole heartedly agree! I have always considered myself to be grateful and appreciative, but my experiences have become enhanced. BR, every day is a gift! Sonny, I'm very happy our news makes you smile. I am smiling a lot these days. The other day, someone told me that I look wonderful. My response was that I am happy. WWanda! Emily, I am touched. That is a beautiful poem. It is true that our lens of the world has changed. As tragic as events have been, we have been bles$Ed with so many gifts. Graciejp, I learned some things about tears. When the first tear is from the right eye, it is because of sadness. The first tear from the left eye is happiness. Interesting that has seemed to hold true for me. Thank you Lucky and SkinnyBelink, we are reveling in the every day moments of living. I never saw the true beauty in the mundane before. Maine Lady | ||||
Hugs to you Maine Lady | ||||
Thank you, GP! Hugs right back to you! Maine Lady | ||||
Good to hear that things are getting back to normal. Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford | ||||

Environmental Initiatives
Accelerating clean energy solutions that improve the economy, national security and the environment.
Who's Winning the Clean Energy Race?
Energy is a key pillar of our lives–it runs our cars, charges our computers and powers our factories. Globally, energy use is expected to increase 35 percent over the next 25 years, driven almost entirely by demand due to increases in electricity use and vehicle fleets. The growing need for energy around the world is likely to make it an ever more precious commodity–forcing up prices and increasing global instability. Additionally, the world's energy sector is responsible for approximately 70 percent of global carbon emissions, the direct cause of climate change.
A business-as-usual approach to energy policy threatens global economic competitiveness, national security and the environment. We must fundamentally transform the manner in which we produce, distribute and consume energy if we are to reduce dependence on oil, create jobs, enhance global competitiveness and decrease carbon emissions.
Combined heat and power, or CHP, provides the U.S. industrial sector with an economical, timely solution to the problem of energy use and cost, while promoting economic growth and addressing future energy needs.More
In the race to capture the economic benefits of the growing clean energy sector, the Master Limited Partnership Parity Act would provide an opportunity for U.S. businesses to mobilize private capital and better compete.More
From April 22-24, Pew's clean energy program is attending the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit in New York City. This week, we will provide updates and share information about trends that impact the future of renewable energy and efficiency.More

Send a Pup to Camp: Dog and Beth leave the kids at camp while they scour the wilds of Colorado for a bad-man on the lam.
- Domestic and professional obligations clash in Colorado.
- The real-life exploits of the world's most successful bounty hunter.
- See how Duane "Dog" Chapman brings fugitives to justice.
He is a uniquely modern, larger than life character who is also a throwback to an era when the law was in the hands of vigilantes. Duane "Dog" Chapman is the world's most successful and famous bounty hunter. The charismatic ex-con has captured some 6,000 people in his three-decade career. With his dedicated posse and his bottle-blond wife Beth Smith, Dog roars out from his Hawaii home to dispense his unique breed of justice.
This may be the biggest challenge the Chapmans have ever faced: dropping their kids off at Summer Camp in Colorado.
But after the last painful good-bye, it's time for Dog and the crew to get some manhunting done! The target is Robin, a bad cat who disposed of a body following a homicide. He skipped a court date and is highly motivated to stay on the loose. Before it's all over, Robin will lead the team on a chase full of surprises, from address to address, across the wide-open prairie, and face-to-face with an enraged, jealous husband.
And the whole time, Beth's got her ear to the phone, comforting a homesick Garry.
Will Garry stick with camp? Will the kids learn to love campfire songs and arts-n-crafts? Oh, and will justice be served?
Find out in this thrilling, slice-of-life episode of DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER!
