Car Cloning
To clone a legitimate vehicle thieves take the vehicle identification number or VIN and copy it to a stolen used car. With some fake papers the thieves are ready to sell you a used car that looks perfectly legal.
"Right now, cloning is by far our biggest car theft challenge, the good news is, it's preventable." Supervisory Special Agent Ryan Toole, who leads our vehicle theft program at FBI Headquarters in Washington.
Unfortunately if you end up buying one of these cloned cars it will more than likely be repossessed by the authorities as stolen merchandise and you will be out the money you paid for it.
The following five tips will help to protect you from becoming a car clone victim:
1. Vehicle Identification Number
Check the VIN - Every vehicle sold has a VIN. This number should match the number on the title and registration. The VIN is located on the driver's side above the dashboard, inside the driver door and under the hood. Look for any signs that these numbers could have been tampered with. If the windshield contains slight damages, such as scratch marks around the area, or there are scratches or gouges on the dashboard, there is a strong possibility that the VIN has been replaced. If so, the car is probably stolen, and it’s best to move on.
2. Registration Papers
The registration papers will give you some clues about the vehicle. Make sure the license plate on the car matches the numbers on the registration papers. Make sure the owner’s name matches the sellers - and ask for picture ID.
3. Maintenance Records
You should also inspect all maintenance records, which are not only a good way to see if the car was stolen, but also will give you a hint of how well the car has been taken care of. Checking the mileage over time on the maintenance records is one good step to ensure that the seller did not tamper with the odometer.
4. Low Sale Price
If the car seller is asking a ridiculously low price for the vehicle, inquire why. Smart buyers usually research car prices online before purchasing. To check current car values simply search for a similar vehicle on a popular car classified website. If the vehicles asking price is significantly lower, be suspicious, the car could be stolen or there may be something else wrong with it. You don’t want to end of with a lemon either.
5. Intuition
Trust your instincts. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you feel suspicious about a vehicle or the seller, walk away. Even if the vehicle was not stolen, reconstructed after flood damage or older than it appears, it’s not worth taking the risk. There are plenty of other used cars available.
The best way to ensure you don’t end up with a stolen vehicle is to buy your used car from a reputable dealer. Not only will the chance of buying a problem vehicle be much smaller, resolving any issue will be much simpler if the need arises.

Well, that’s understandable because presently there is only one prototype in the world but the hover bike has the potential to become the most dazzling gadget ever built. After four years of design work it has finally begun test runs and people are falling in love with it wherever it has been shown.
It operates the same fundamental principle as a hover craft with a large foam base which impels the bike into the air and gives it the power to thrust forward at the same time.
It may look awesome but let’s get answers to some critical questions.
According to Jim Chalmers, the inventor of the hover bike it should top out around fifty miles per hour but it is quite happy to bounce around at lower speeds around 30-35
Handling-wise it is very sensitive. It makes turns rather sharply, it will spin around in a circle if you want and you can propel it forward facing in any direction.
When these become available they will provide an interesting ride for anybody. They require the rider to stand while riding!
I have seen one and I can guarantee you that this is for real. But who knows when it will get out on the road?. It required four years to create the first one. It probably will not be allowed on highways with a top speed of 50? And what handling do they have for using one when it rains Will it have an umbrella built in? And won’t the rain bounce up into the air stream from the jets underneath and result in a seriously bumpy ride? And I suppose it will be attractive to the folks less than 50 years of age or so but I can hardly imagine granny riding around in her hover bike and our one needs to factor in the reality that our population is getting older and older. And what will be the asking price for one of these fascinating gadgets??
Well, a hover bike may or may not be right for all folks but here is something that was never any good for anybody. This has to be one of the corniest 50s era TV commercials I ever saw! Ay yi yi! It is all about the Edsen Hover Car! lol I am confident that this was the invention that made it possible to “beat those Ruskies”! (as they say in the commercial)
I enjoyed this fun diversion from my routine articles which focus on the most practical, inexpensive and beneficial modifications ever discovered to assist you to get lower fuel usage get clean emissions and help your car to operate more efficiently.
In the mean time, WATER4GAS is offering information for a fee which people can use in their garage or wherever to create a small device which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their vehicle runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the system burns as fuel. So it is able to use considerably more of the gasoline.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to increase your MPG by 12%. But many are getting thirty to fifty percent improvement or even more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty darn big in some systems before. But with WATER4GAS they are made usable so you can increase your MPG.
It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner.
This information has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND individuals already and happy members number about 99%! So that's pretty electric!

What? You don’t know what a hover bike is?
Well, that’s understandable because currently there is just a prototype in the world but the hover bike has the potential to become the most dazzling gadget anyone ever saw. After four years of development it has finally started test runs and people are falling in love with it wherever it has been shown.
It is powered by the same fundamental principle as a hover craft and it has a large foam base that thrusts the thing off the ground and gives it the power to thrust forward simultaneously.
It may look great but I think we need to get some crucial questions answered.
According to Jim Chalmers, the man behind the bike it should do up to 50 MPH but it is quite a fun time to meander around at lower speeds around 30-35
Handling-wise it is very sensitive. It turns rather sharply, it will spin around in a circle if you want and you can propel it forward towards any direction you might be facing.
When these do arrive they will be an interesting ride for anybody. They are particularly unique in that the rider stands while operating!
I assure you that this is legit. But there is no set date for release. It required four years to create the first one. It probably will not be allowed on highways with a maximum speed of 50? And what does one do when it rains? Will it have an umbrella built in? And won’t the rain bounce up into the air stream from the jets underneath and result in a seriously bumpy ride? And I imagine that it will be welcomed by people under fifty years old or so but I can’t conceive of granny scooting around in her hover bike and our one should consider our population is getting older and older. And what will be the ticket for one of these exhilarating gadgets??
Well, it may be ideal for everyone but let me show you something that was never any good for anybody. This is one of the corniest 1950s television commercials I ever saw! Yikes! It is all about the Edsen Hover Car! lol I have no doubt that this was the thing that made it possible to “beat those Ruskies”! (as it says in the commercial)
Well this was a fun change of pace from my usual articles which focus on the most realistic, inexpensive and advantageous inventions ever discovered to assist you to get lower gas consumption clean your emissions and enable your car to operate more efficiently.
In the mean time, WATER4GAS is providing information at a low price which consumers can use in their garage or wherever to build a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.
The process makes bite sized particles out of the particles that the system burns as fuel. Because of the smaller size the engine is able to use considerably more of it.
By doing this you can reasonably expect to reduce your gas consumption by 12%. In reality though many are obtaining 30-50% improvement or significantly more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty darn big in some engines before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can reduce your gas consumption.
It also helps to lower emissions significantly.
This package of info has been purchased by over 9000 people already and happy members number about 99%! So that's pretty electric!

Do you have any notion how much personal power that you have?
Start with this… if Einstein or somebody splits one atom enough energy gets released to decimate some number of miles in radius from that point. Well in your pinky? And that is just the physical. It is an historical fact that ideas have much more potential power as part of their nature than bombs! Consider this… if you were not so bleepin’ powerful at your inner core then why would the bastards who run this joint go through such efforts on so many fronts and falsely print so many billions of worthless dollars in order to keep you from finding out how powerful that you really are?
Well we do live in interesting times now and the “monster” has been stirred. And by the “monster”, I mean thee and me! In fact it is a basic definition in law..(human being See MONSTER. —Ballentine's Law Dictionary –1930). They conceive of us as monsters and that is why they are so afraid of us that they attempt to diminish our power! Does that give you a new view on what the words “war on terror” mean? Right! It is their war on our freedoms because they are terrified of us!!! Wouldn’t you try to do the same if you had some influence over a monster??? Lol
The revolution takes many forms. One front is the internet. Another front is the alternative energy movement. These have combined into something uniquely powerful and unstoppable and terrifying).
The advent of the Internet has made this alternative energy technology unstoppable. Also I have to tell you that the competition that it fosters is GOOD, actually VERY GOOD for all of us. That's due to the fact that the academic institutions and auto makers and the oil corporations alike have been force feeding us false information. We were coerced to believe that making fuel from water was impossible. Now we know the truth - it is very attainable.
So boiling it all down to the core we get that change is inevitable. You will soon see many more big and small manufacturers, installers dotting the landscape, and many 1000's of individual car owners and managers of fleets of cars exchanging notes and combining synergestically in the mutual quest for cheaper energy. And here’s you right at the beginning of it all so congratulations, I never met a finer monster!

Steering wheel covers are becoming more commonly used in cars today. They serve two main purposes:
* - Aesthetics (It has to look good!)
* - Grip
Steering wheel covers actually started being used way back when cars weren't even being imported yet. The steering wheels were very thin and made of slippery hard plastic so using a steering wheel cover helped improve the grip and security of the drivers. When vehicles began to be imported, they were coming in with thicker wheels built into the vehicle already so American car makers began to make steering wheels thicker as well to be able to compete.
If your car came with a boring steering wheel, why suffer? Want some luxury? Maybe some sportiness? Is it peeling and looking older than you'd like? Steering Wheel Covers are an easy fix! Anybody can install one and have a completely new looking steering wheel in minutes.
They come in so many different varieties. The most popular ones are by far the leather steering wheel covers. They also come in Wood Grain, Carbon Fiber, Rubber, Vinyl, Flames, Manufacturers logos on them Basically anything you can imagine, they’ve probably already thought of it too and made one. You’ll see everything from the mild ones to the wild sheepskin steering wheel covers if you just really take a look at other people’s cars.
For a cheap price, you get better safety and looks for your car. Yet another no-brainer and win-win situation for you.

At the smaller end of the market there is the Vauxhall Corsa is in the same class as the Ford Fiesta and Ka, as well as the Renault Clio. They make brilliant cars for first time drivers, especially as a dealership may offer a years insurance with the price of the car. This should be a major incentive to first time drivers as insurance premiums are usually astronomical. The Vauxhall Corsa also makes an ideal city run-around for those who want a car for simply the weekly shop; comfortable and economical it is perfect.
Just because Vauxhall has long been regarded as a producer of predominantly practical cars it does not mean that your local dealership will not have sportier models. The Tigra has been around for a number of years and the current generation benefits from this heritage. With bold lines and a retractable roof it goes from great sporty run-around to open top tourer in seconds; a must for the fashion conscious.
This is however not the only convertible in the Vauxhall range, your local dealership will have information on the Astra twin top. Somewhat larger than the Tigra it retains much of the style and elegance without compromising comfort. Large enough to fit an average size family it is perfect for summer holidays and joyous drives on hazy evenings. Other cars in this class include the Peugeot 206 convertible and SAAB touring convertible.
If your family is larger your local Vauxhall dealership will be able to solve your transportation problems. The Zafira is a sublime seven seater that even has room for the family pet. Spacious and designed with passengers in mind it will ensure those with large families are able to make trips in comfort.
Slightly smaller is the Meriva, with only five seats it is ideal for those with average to large families and possesses amazing safety features that will ensure your family is safe at all stages of your journey. the MPV market is currently saturated with models such as the Citreon C4 and Renault Espace, Vauxhall will have their work cut out to corner this market.
The Astra has long been an integral part of any dealership itinerary, largely seen as the bread and butter car for Vauxhall the latest generation is ideal for younger drivers; especially if considering the sporty VXR model. The entry level car is extremely affordable and if looking for a cheap new car cannot be rivalled. The range of Astras has a car to suit many budgets and can be used for business, pleasure or just touring around. There are however many small family cars on the market already such as the Ford Focus and the VW Golf; once again, this is a hard market to crack but the Astra has been a mainstay for a long time now.
In terms of saloon cars your Vauxhall dealership will be able to present you with the Vectra. Heavily indebted to its racing pedigree for its handling and performance, the Vectra's racing brother won the British Touring Car Championship in 2007. It is refined but retains an aggressive attitude. With sumptuous styling and a dashboard full of gadgets and gizmos it is perfect for business executives who spend a great deal of time on the road. The executive car class has some premier models that the Vectra will be hard pushed to compete with, although more affordable, Mercedes and BMW cars carry far more prestige.
Vauxhall have even had a foray into the SUV market with the Antara. One of the most radically styled cars on the dealership forecourt; its curves and lines makes the cars proportions practically perfect. The Antara is a tough car that is ready for the challenges of an active life. With an intelligent four wheel drive system it may even handle the odd spot of off road travel.
There is little doubt that your local Vauxhall dealership will have a car that suits your needs. With such a diverse range that caters for all requirements, you should be able to find the perfect choice for your transportation needs. Vauxhall are rapidly distancing their company from the 'boring' label they have received in the past. Their latest generation of cars combine style and performance with comfort and practicality; what more could anyone want?

The car manufacturer from France has been making cars for over one hundred years. Originally a bicycle manufacturer this insistence on convenient, mobile travel solutions is still present on Peugeot dealership forecourts today. Peugeot have focussed on making small cars for many years and can be seen as a company the have cornered this end of the market through stylish design, performance and brilliant brand management.
Styling has been a concurrent factor in the design of all the superminis made by Peugeot.
A look at your local dealership will demonstrate how important style is as a design ethic; after all they are French. From the tiny 107 up to the somewhat larger 1007 the Peugeot supermini collection offer style and grace and some of the sportier models are great fun to drive. If you head down to your dealership you will most likely be able to experience this yourself through a test drive.
The Peugeot 107 is the smallest car on dealership forecourts. A tiny 3 door with quirky styling it makes a great first car or ideal city run around. Its running costs are extremely low which will undoubtedly appeal to those of the green persuasion. While it is a comfortable car for two, ferrying around any more people will be troublesome; the space in the rear seats is confined to say the least although for the price you are not going to be expecting a family car. The boot is also relatively small although as a compact car designed for traversing the city the premium on space is a necessary evil.
The 206 is also contained in the supermini category on your dealership forecourt and comes in both 3 door and 5 door models. It has been around for a number of years now but the styling is still contemporary and has many fans among the young, especially those who like to make modifications.
Because of its age however it is increasingly being seen as a budget alternative to the new 207 in the hatchback category. The age of the car is apparent in the interior styling with a lot of plastics, poor layout and an uncomfortable driving position.
That is not to say the Peugeot 206 is a poor car overall. If you undertake a test drive from your dealership you will find the driving experience engaging and extremely enjoyable. The steering is responsive and balanced although on motorway journeys the car does suffer somewhat.
The 1.6 HDi sport offers the most fun for those who appreciate the thrill of driving. Ultimately this car is a good value alternative to more modern counterparts. Running costs are relatively low while picking up a bargain from your local dealership should not be a problem because of its age. Although dated, the Peugeot 206 remains a decent little car.
A departure from the usual young driver focus of Peugeot in the supermini market is the 1007. With two electrically powered doors it has become an ideal small car for older drivers. The remote access has made it popular with those who have mobility issues and also those who are troubled by parking restrictions. Sadly the styling is clumsy and awkward and makes it the ugliest car on the dealership forecourts; this can be seen as strange considering famed design house Pininfarina penned the cars outline. Inside however the design is efficient and extremely comfortable.
Sadly because of the heavy electric door mechanisms the driving experience of the 1007 has suffered. It was never going to be a sporty model but power steering makes parking simple and easy and the use of a 2 tronic gearbox means city driving is easy on the left foot. In terms of safety it is a brilliant family car, it received five stars from the Euro NCAP safety body, an accolade that not many cars actually manage. Fuel economy is also good which makes the car an inexpensive vehicle to run and maintain.
Overall the supermini range at your local Peugeot dealership offers cars that are efficient and in the whole stylish. The young driver market will like the 107 and 206 as budget alternatives to the larger hatchbacks that have enough credibility to be appealing. More practical drivers will appreciate the 1007 for its clever use of space and comfortable interior. As a company that has made decent small cars for a number of years, the heritage of design is clear for all to see.

With growing gas costs, it is no wonder that more drivers are interested in getting good gas mileage out of their cars. There are several ways to go about getting solid gas mileage from your motor vehicle. You can buy a car with good gas mileage in the first place, or you can get better gas mileage from your car by driving it in a manner that is fuel efficient.
Let's examine the first area. More critical than anything is the car you by. When you compare cars' gas mileage, you generally look at their city mpg and their highway mpg. If you are like most shoppers and are looking at half a dozen or so possible cars, these numbers can often become so jumbled in your head it is hard to remember what was what.
One tip is to just focus on the highway mpg. Most of the your actual miles you put on your car is on the highway. While you may spend more time on city streets, most of the car's gas is spent on the highway. So just compare the highway mpg between various cars. It'll be easier on yourself, and it is also a better way of analyzing the differences between the cars.
Another tip is to look at Japanese brands of cars. While American manufacturers are starting to improve th gas mileage of their vehicles, Japanese car makers have traditionally focused their cars more on efficiency and reliability, whereas American manufacturers have focused more on style.
The final tip goes without saying: the more boring the car, the better the gas mileage generally. Want a hot sports car with a lot of horse power? Be prepared to get terrible gas mileage. If you want good gas mileage, go for the sedan with 130 hp, not the SUV with a V8 engine.
You can also increase your gas mileage by driving your car in an efficient manner. Here are a few tips:
1. Avoid high speeds on the freeway: While going 80 mph might be fun and get you to your location faster, it also is much more costly in terms of gas mileage (not to mention the potential speeding tickets!)
2. Avoid braking or accelerating quickly. Sudden jerks on the pedals are terrible for saving gas. When slowing down, do so gradually and softly, not a sudden stop. Likewise, accelerate gradually, not like you are trying to win a race.
3. Carry a light load. Do you really need to drag your 6 bowling balls everywhere? Doing so will lead to more trips to the pump. So drop your stuff off at your house or apartment instead of dragging everything around town in your car.
4. Roll down your window instead of using air conditioning. The AC eats up a lot of gas, so a good way to save gas is to simply not use the AC. While this is not practical in the dead heat of summer, there's certainly nothing wrong with turning off the AC and rolling down the window and enjoying a nice breeze.
5. Get your friends to drive. Hey, what better way to save gas than not driving at all! Get your friends to pick you up and drive you places. They ought to be worth something after all right?

Petrol currently costs 17p per litre more than it did last year, making the average price 1.04p per litre, or 4.77 pounds a gallon. In areas of the UK where prices are above the average, this means they are paying 5 pounds for one gallon of petrol!
For drivers with a standard 50 litre fuel tank this puts an additional 8.79 pounds on the price of a full tank and a possible 18.84 pounds a month on total car running costs. All this is due to the rise in the price of a barrel of oil, now at $100 and also affects drives of diesel vehicles.
A record average on diesel prices now sees drivers paying 110.3p on a litre compared with last year's 91.1p. It seems users of car rental will not save money in the long run, then.
Fuel tax rises caused havoc with the roads in 2005. Blockades of oil refineries were carried out by protestors furious about the price of petrol and diesel. Car rental companies saw a large drop in profits that year with more and more people using public transport to avoid the rising costs of driving.
That year saw an unprecedented running dry of petrol stations and when deliveries were made, drivers were queuing around the block for the chance of some fuel after rationing. The uproar this event caused died down and since then, the government have continued to raise the tax on fuel.
It is amazing to me that another protest hasn't been started but it seems that us Brits just can't be without our vehicles and do not want the country at another stand still as happened in 2005.
Understandable, although frustrating that we are held to ransom over any prices the government decide to inflict on us.
Instability in Iraq has been blamed for the rise in fuel costs but how does this explain the 2.2 pounds billion the government received in oil revenue since October last year. This followed a rise in fuel duty and the government plan to implement another rise next month.
Another consideration when using car rental is the insurance. Make a thorough check as to exactly what you are covered for and how much your excess is. Usual cover includes fire, theft and collision. However, even with fully comprehensive insurance, there will be an excess to pay, sometimes up to 1000. pounds Find out just how much this is before you embark on car rental to avoid getting stung if anything untoward should occur.
After campaigns to tackle the insurance scams run by car rental companies, it was discovered that many of them have been charging the full excess on any minor dent the car is returned with and in some cases, the repair work is never even carried out, in effect, meaning the car rental company are stealing the hirer's money. If you are charged for any damage always insist on seeing repair bills.
Some insurance companies offer cover for the excess of another policy. This seems a bit odd - to insure yourself against your insurance shortfalls? It means you are paying twice for the same thing. However, if car rental is something you use on a regular basis it may be well worth considering.

Batik Sarong Color That Really Pop!
What are sarongs? A Sarong is a simple piece of material that is wore by many different people around the world for a few different reasons. typically the sarong is made of a rayon fabric and is long enough to wrap around you at least once, chances are that twice.

It doesn't take much to put one on. In many instances people search for ways to wear a sarong, but inevitably the easiest way is to effortlessly wrap it around your waist and tie it. You have the optionof using a sarong tie or not. Sarong ties can be coconut, mother of pearl, a resin abalone mix (these are indeed pleasantand made of quality worthwhile materials that will last and shine for a long time!), or plastic (we don't favor these - very tacky). Just go search google for the words: Sarong Clips. You're sure to find a excellent tie, clip, or buckle to match your sarong!
Here are 10 fun filled facts about Sarongs that will help you gain intellectuality about them:

6) In Kerala the brightly coloured sarongs are called Kaily and the white ones are called mundu.
7) Statistically, the number of people wearing sarong as their primary public attire, are on the decline in Sri Lanka; the reason being that Sarong carries the stigma of being the attire for less educated lower social classes.
8) The American public is most familiar with the sarong for the dozens of motion pictures set in the South Seas, most of them romantic dramas made in the 1930's and 1940's.
9) In North America and Europe, the fabric of the sarong is as things go quite light, oftentimes rayon, and may feature decorative fringing on two sides.

What Is Spiritual Wisdom
Wisdom is knowledge applied, so "spiritual wisdom" is spirituality applied; it is that simple. New Age Spiritual Wisdom is the knowledge of New Age spirituality applied to your everyday physical life.
Spirit is what you are naturally, so everything that you do is spiritual. Because being spirit is natural, when spiritual attributes are applied to your everyday life, your life becomes less of a struggle, and there is a natural tendency for your life to flow easily because you are in harmony with spirit. When you add your conscious thoughts to your spirituality, the purpose of your physical life becomes vague and chaotic. The farther you move away from your true nature (which is spiritual) the more difficult it is to return to it because you become brain washed.
As you move away from your childhood and start to believe all the things your parents and your elders tell you about life, and how yours is supposed to be lived, the less spiritually motivated you become. You start to live your life for others and in a way that is acceptable to them, and you loose site of your purpose and why you decided to become physical. The farther you move away from your childhood the more difficult it is to apply spiritual attributes to your life, and the natural ability to consciously alter what you are or will experience.
Because you are life itself as well as the creator of it, you have all the attributes of a creator. The more you accept the misinformation or disinformation of your parents or elders, the less your ability to use your power. After years of believing what they tell you, you become impotent and mortal. However, the good news is that you can get it all back, unfortunately for most of us; it becomes a major struggle with our old beliefs about why we cannot. The older you get and the more entrenched the misinformation, the more difficult your spiritual quest will be. You can have it all back in a heart beat if you can let go of your physical thoughts and accept your true nature as your new reality; but that is easier said than done. Experience has taught me that it is another lifetime or several before that transformation can happen. The idea of acceptance is easy; its practice however, is most difficult. It is a lot of work and energy finding your way back and the harder you try, the farther away you move.
If you are lucky enough to have parents who are wise in spiritual matters and they allow you to maintain your natural awareness and develop it, the powers will stay with you and are accessible for the rest of your life. If you are fortunate enough to be reading this and are intuitive or intelligent enough to understand, you work will be less if you are critical about the information that is given you. People will always try to disempower you, with this awareness comes your best defense. They cannot take away your power unless you let them - unless you believe that you do not have it.
Parents want the best for their children, but the struggle for spiritual awareness or wisdom should be the parents' not the children. It is difficult to let go and allow a child to find their own way. We want to guide them and protect them and that desire is inherited in every parent, but every child must choose, or suffer a life unfulfilled. As parents we tell ourselves and others that we want more for our children, yet we give them the same misinformation given to us, that will guide them to less. Of course when we say this, we are thinking of material things once again ignoring their spiritual purpose for being physical. Loving our children unconditionally and knowing that they have a purpose will allow the freedom for them to follow their destiny - again, easy to say, not so easy to do.
The world is the way it is because we have stifled our spirituality and replaced it with boxed religions which do not want us to use our power. We have allowed fear to replace love and freedom to evolve into the greater human that we are so capable of. Spiritual wisdom would bring back life into our physical experience. Spiritual wisdom would encourage diversity, not assimilation. Life must move in all directions before it can know itself as complete. There is no life if we all believe in the same things. Acknowledgement of our differences is acknowledgement of life in all its expressions, none better or worse than the other.
Spiritual Wisdom is your awareness expressed in the best possible physical manifestation of your own thoughts. Be true to your own wisdom.

Don't Stop Believing; the Law of Attraction is Still Working
I hear people who were planning to live out their dream say things like "I'm doing ok, at least I'm not creating anything bad for myself." I personally can not think of a less exited or more bland way to look at your life. Ok, so you haven't lost anything, and life is pretty much what it used to be so everything is fine, right? Wrong! You didn't start out using the law of attraction to maintain what you had. You started out building your dream life and somewhere along the way you experienced either impatience, lack off faith or plain old fear of not succeeding so you kind of gave up and re-wrote your dreams to fit you level of enthusiasm.
I'm not trying to make you feel bad about where you are; I'm trying to get you to dig up your original dream and start creating on that again. If you are trying to tell me that things have changed and that you now realize that you don't really want that house or car or career that you first set your sights on, I don't believe you for a second. Stop lying to me, and most importantly; stop lying to yourself. The law of attraction operates on how you really think and feel, not on what you tell yourself to feel better about giving up or loosing faith.
Stop feeling bad about not having achieved it yet, and start using the law of attraction to create your dream again! You don't know how something is going to come about, that's not up to you. Your part of the job is to visualize yourself already having what you want and feeling good about knowing it's on its way. The rest is up to the universe.
My friend had a steady, well paying job but wanted something that gave her more challenges. Over the course of a couple of years she was considering leaving her job for more exiting but less secure ones but never acted because she was afraid of making a bad decision. I watched as she was more and more bored in her old job and heard her passionately talk about the life she could see herself having if she only took the jump and left her stabile job for a more exiting one. I tried to talk her into taking a leap of faith to realize her dream, but she was so caught in the paradigms of "safety over happiness" that she kept hesitating.
One day the universe acted for her. She called me up and told me she had just been let go from her stable well paying job; the company she worked for was closing down. As devastated as she was, she still acted fast and in five days she had a whole week of job interviews lined up. Here's the twist: she never even got to go to one job interview. Before the week was over she got a phone call from a company she had applied to yeas earlier but didn't get the job. She always referred to it as her dream job. The company told her they had heard rumors that she was back on the job market and wanted to snatch her up before someone else did. Not only did this girl get her dream job, it paid much more than her previous job.
Do you think my friend could see that the law of attraction was about to make her dream come true the day she was suddenly without a job? Of course not, but she was given a huge nudge from the universe and she acted on it.
Even though she was afraid to leave her secure job, my never lost faith that she could have the job of her dreams; she kept dreaming, she kept believing, and she was rewarded.
What are you so afraid of? Is failing really the end of the world? The way is see it, there is not such thing as failure if you really, really tried. The only thing stopping you from having what you want is you. Trust in your power to use the law of attraction, and welcome your dream. As long as you are doing your part right; as long as you are visualizing and feeling good about what is coming, you are on the right track.
The universe gives us nudges along the way too, and the law of attraction is always working. Keep your eyes open and you'll find the next step forward.
5 Proven Ways To Avoid Mental Blocks
Writing an article doesn't just mean putting down thoughts into words then typing and writing it. You have to capture the awareness of your readers, teach them valuable know-how and get them to keep on reading. To send your message across you have to get the attention of the reader and have a firm grasp of their interest and pique their curiosity.
The main ingredient in baking up an article is a large dose of creativity. While creativity may come natural to many people, some just gets into a block or something to that effect that can drive someone to feel slight at uneasy. Many writers have literally torn their hair out when they get writers block and just can't seem to get their creative juices flowing.
Putting words into images in the readers mind is an art. A clear and crisp depiction requires a certain flair that only creativity can provide. Similes and metaphors help a lot, but the way an article gets entwined word for word, sentence by sentence then paragraph by paragraph into a whole article develops the essence of the article.
So just what do you have to do when nothing comes to mind? There is no surefire ways to get the perfect ideas but there are easy ways to get your creative juices flowing. No one can guarantee you of having the perfect mindset but many methods may aid you in achieving that state of mind. Here are five battle tested easy ways to overcome such issues.
1) Keep a diary or a journal with you always. Ideas can be triggered by anything you may hear, see, or smell. Your senses are your radar in finding great ideas. Write all of them into a journal and keep it with you for future reference. You may also write down anything that you have read or heard, someone's ideas could be used to develop your own ideas and this is not stealing. Remember that ideas and creativity can come from anywhere; it's the development of the idea that makes it unique.
Not everyone are going to be able to remember to bring their journal or notepad along with them. However, it is highly likely that they would have their mobile on them. Today, mobiles has the capability to record instant audio and you can certainly take good advantage of your telephonic devices whenever that golden ideas start to kick in your head.
2) Relax and take time to sort things out. A jumbled mind cannot create any space for new ideas. Everyone must have a clear mind if one wishes to have their creativity in full speed. Get rid of all obstacles that can be a hindrance to your creativity. If you are bothered by something, you cannot force your mind to stay focused.
Try to relax every time that you can and think about your experiences and interactions with others. Your experiences are what shape your mindset and your opinions which could be reflected on your writings. Try to discover yourself, find out what triggers your emotions. Go back to the past. Discover what inspires you and what ticks you off. You can use these emotions to help you in expressing yourself and your ideas, with this you can grow creatively.
If it still fails, try to listen to calming music like the one you normally hear in the spa. You can easily buy these relaxing tunes from the music stores or download it off Itunes. You're bound to feel better in the end.
3) Create a working place that can inspire your creativeness. Your working place can be quite a hindrance if it doesn't make you feel happy or relaxed. Creativity comes from being in a good state of mind and a messed up workplace that causes distraction won't be conducive in firing up your creative flow.
Surround your working place with objects that makes you happy and relaxed. You may put up pictures, or scents, objects that inspire, or anything that can get your creativeness cranking. A clean and well organized workplace also rids of distractions and unwanted hindrances. With a good working place, you can work in peace and never notice the time pass by.
4) Set the mood. Setting the mood requires you to just go with the moment or to induce yourself to feeling what makes your mind works best. Finding out what makes you tick could help you find ways to get your creative juices flowing. Set the pace and tempo for your mood and everything else will follow.
There are many ways to set the mood. Some writers have been known to use alcohol, a little sip of wine to stir up the imagination. Some would like some mood music while others let the lighting of the environment create the mood.
5) Go on a getaway and just do something different. Letting yourself go and have fun produces adrenaline that can make your imagination go wild. Take an adventure or a solemn hike. Whatever it is that is unusual from your daily routine can take the rut out of your schedule. In no time at all, your creativeness will make use of that experience and get your imagination to go on overdrive.

7 Ways to Kickstart Writing Your Book This Year
Have you started your book yet? No. Don't think about it any longer. You know the words; now say it with me. Just do it! With the right focus and information, you can successfully begin, complete and even publish YOUR book within a few months this year.
More and more people are successfully completing their books in less time. Even your competitors are getting it done. Why not join them. Here's seven tips to kick start writing your book:
1. Make your mark in the world with a significant book.
Many hopeful authors tremble in their tracks wondering if their book will sell. That's a good question. Who wants to invest time or money into a sinking ship? Don't be afraid; here's how to test your book's significance.
You can know your book is significant if it presents useful information, answers important reader questions, and impacts people for the good. If it's entertaining or funny it could go further than you imagined.
It's significant, if it creates a deeper understanding of animals, humanity or this world. With one to three of these elements your book is worth writing. More than three, it has potential of making great sales and even to best seller status. Now, get started; write your book and make the world a better place.
2. Find out who will buy your book and sell it to them.
When you give your book a specific audience, it will hit the mark of good sales. Best seller books focus on a single topic per book. When you aim at one audience at a time, each tip, each story or how-to will be more effective. Point your message to someone specific and you gain a competitive edge on many book writers. For many authors just shoot their book out to the world without aim.
It would be helpful to create an audience profile. Are your potential readers male or female? How old are they? Are they interested in topic? What problems do they face? Are they business people or professionals? Are they techies or non-techies? Are they willing to spend $15-20 on a book like yours? Do this and you're on your way to selling more books than you dreamed.
3. Write your book's central thought and support it with your book.
Did you cringe at the words (thesis) central thought? For some, it brought back memories of school days and writing essays. No worries, a thesis simply means the main central thought of the book. Make sure your main central thought includes the greatest benefit to your book reader and you're done.
In other words, it should answer your audiences' question, "How will this book help, encourage or solve my problem for me?" Write the thesis before you write the book and stay on the path of focused, powerful yet easy to read content.
All chapters support your book's main concept. For "Win with the Writer Inside," the thesis is "How to write, complete, and publish your best book fast." The top selling titles often include the main thought in some form.
4. Make an inspiration cover early to encourage yourself.
Keep it nearby to inspire you. Remember, book covers are the number one selling point of a book. Of course, in the beginning this is only a working cover. Nevertheless it will help crystallize your thoughts and propel you toward the fulfillment of your dream. You have 10 seconds or less to impress your potential readers to buy.
Look around the bookstores and the internet to get a few ideas. Look for the covers most suited for your audience. Choose colors that attract them. For instance, consider red and blue for business books; aqua, yellow, and shades of red work for personal growth books. Even so, avoid too much red; it makes some feel suspicious.
5. Develop the back cover as a sales message before you write chapter one.
This benefit driven outline helps give your book direction and helps you focus on what's really important to your readers. Most books will only allow for 50-75 words. That gives you less than 20 seconds to impress your prospective reader. Make this message passionate. Focus only what sells: testimonials (reader, expert and famous), a benefit driven headline to hook the reader to open the book and read the table of contents, and bulleted benefits.
6. Compose your book's 60 second "billboard" before you begin writing.
Have you noticed a billboard lately? You only have a few seconds to get it as you drive by. So, the information is distilled into sound bytes to be effective. Make your 2-3 sentence book blurbs into sound bytes. Like a billboard where you only have a few seconds to get your message across, condense your sound byte into a 60 second tell and sell.
Use your mini billboard at networking meetings, in the elevator, in the grocery line, anywhere you only have a few seconds to tell about your book. Composing your ad should include your title and 3 top benefits.
7. Write your publishing goals down for your book.
Will you self-publish or shop for a traditional publish? There are serious pros and cons for either method. Find out the differences so you can make an educated choice that suits you. If you are self-publishing, consider the POD technology for your book. There are lots of good choices that will publish your book for you at an affordable price.
If you are opting for a traditional publisher, get an agent and a contract before writing the book. Then shop agents and publishers with 2 chapters and a knock-out book proposal. Invest in one of the current market guides and research the best fit for your work. It raises your chances considerably if you know what kind of manuscripts a particular company is looking for.
I admit it; getting started writing a book can be challenging to most. Even so, it doesn't have to stay that way. You can do like the author did; use the ten tips above and kick start writing your book. Start today; complete and release your significant message to the world. Then jump around, get excited for it won't be long before we see your name in print!
Express Your Feeling Through Love Letter Writing
Expressing love through letter writing shows thought and it is the thought that counts. Your beloved will be so touched that you put in the extra effort to create something they could proudly display on the wall. There are good chances that your love letter is probably the first love letter that he or she has ever got, which makes the letter even more memorable.
If you've been married for many years, you may want to write about how lovely it's been spending your life with your spouse. The increasing rarity and consequent emotional charm of personal mail may also serve to emphasize the emotional importance of the message. The decline of letter love writing,however, has interestingly lead to its effectiveness as a way to express love.
Some Tips For Love Letter Writing:
- "I will love you always," "Loving you forever," "My heart is yours," are all good possibilities.
- Build up your vocabulary to include a variety of words to describe the intimacy or the sensual nocturnal games you could share.
- Don't make promises you can't keep and don't write anything you may regret later.
- Don't forget to sign your love letter!
- Take the time to tailor your letter for the moment.
- Never feel that you have nothing to write about, as the simplest things can make a great letter.
- You want your lover to know that you love her for the emotional aspects, not just the physical.
- If you do not know her name, then a simple 'Hi' would do.
- Beginning the letter with words that flatter your chosen would let him know of what sort of naughty fun he can expect.
- Go on to express tender feelings and how it is for you when you spend intimate moments with your chosen.
Things To Consider In Writing:
- Collect Your Thoughts. Take some time to think about what you want to say before you start writing.
- Make An Offer She Cannot Refuse - Offer to do something that you know will make her really, really happy.
- Surprise Your Partner - Surprise your partner by sharing something very intimate with her, that maybe you didn't express in the past.
- Remember, There Are No Rules In A Love Letter - A love letter is an intimate conversation between two people and there are no rules to be abided by.
Writing A Love Letter- The Effective Way
The love letter can fire the imagination of the one who is writing it as well as the one who receives it. The decline of letter love writing,however, has interestingly lead to its effectiveness as a way to express love. The art of writing a love letter should be nurtured and perfected when one wants the romance to grow and flower.
Expressing love through letter writing shows thought and it is the thought that counts. The letter may describe what pleasures await when you next meet or feelings of love and tenderness. When writing a perfect love letter it's important to consider the status of the relationship.
Some Tips On How To Wite A Love Letter:
- End the love letter by saying that you hope to be able to have the opportunity to 'bump' into her again.
- You want your lover to know that you love her for the emotional aspects, not just the physical.
- If you are writing an erotic lover letter, talk about yourself as well.
- Spray the love letter with a light fragrance.
- Take the time to tailor your letter for the moment.
- Let your letters be as if you were there talking to your partner face to face.
- If you are handwriting the letter, use a very dark ink and be certain to have a few extra pieces of paper on hand.
- Perhaps a more primal experience is what is called for.
- Your own handwriting will be something new and probably a side of you he/she has never seen.
- Build up your vocabulary to include a variety of words to describe the intimacy or the sensual nocturnal games you could share.
Things To Consider In Writing:
- Make An Offer She Cannot Refuse - Offer to do something that you know will make her really, really happy.
- Remember, There Are No Rules In A Love Letter - A love letter is an intimate conversation between two people and there are no rules to be abided by.
- Clear your desk and your mind of distractions.

Your Online Guide on How to Write A Good Book Review
First, what is a book review and why do people want them?
You have just read a book and are offering your opinion. Essentially, you are providing a mini-version of the book so someone else can decide for themselves if it's worth their money and time.
A book review is a description, analysis, and evaluation of a book. It talks about the quality, meaning, and significance of a book. It isn't just a short, 6 paragraph retelling. It's not a book report or a summary.
It's your reaction to the strengths and weaknesses of the material. It's how you felt about the book's purpose, content, and authority.
There is no right or wrong way to write a book review. Book reviews are personal and reflect your opinion. There is no minimum or maximal length. If you're writing one for an Amazon, you will need to be concise and to the point - but if you are writing for a magazine, you could run 1500 words or more.
One way to write it is to state what the author has tried to do, compare (in your opinion) how that author succeeded, and back it up with evidence.
Here's some guidelines:
1. Write an opening statement giving essential information about the book: title, author, first copyright date, type of book, general subject matter, special features (maps, color plates, etc.), price and ISBN. (In online reviews, this can be skipped, since it is part of the blurb for the book and that data is just a few paragraphs above.)
2. State the author's purpose in writing the book. You can often get this from their preface or first chapter. Where they don't come out and say so, you can ask yourself these questions:
a. Why did the author write on this subject rather than on some other subject?
b. From what point of view is the work written?
c. Was the author trying to give information, to explain something technical, to convince the reader of something?
d. What is the general field or genre, and how does the book fit into it?
e. Who is the intended audience?
f. What is the author's style? Did it suit your own tastes?
g. Scan the Table of Contents to see how it's organized sensibly.
g. How did the book affect you? Did you change any ideas you held because of it? How does it fit in with what you think or your own personal world view? Did it bring up old memories of yours?
h. Did the book achieve what it set out to do?
i. Would you recommend this book to others? How come?
3. Sum up the book in an elevator pitch - if you had to recommend this book to someone during an elevator ride, in the time between floors.
4. Explain how the author got his point across. What descriptions did they use? How did they tell the story - and did they keep you interested? Did their arguments make sense? Did they leave anything out or leave you unconvinced at the end?
5. Check into the author (this is fairly easy on the Internet) and see if what you find - reputation, qualifications, influences, biographical, etc. - establishes them as an authority. Do you see any relation between the author's philosophy, life experience and book you're reviewing?
6. If relevant, make note of the book's format - layout, binding, typography, etc. Are there maps, illustrations? Do they help your understanding?
7. Check the back matter. How's the index? Are the footnotes accurate and useful? What does the bibliography look like - long, short, haphazard? Make notes of what you find.
8. Summarize (briefly), analyze, and comment on the book's content and its summary. List the main topics, and briefly summarize the author's ideas about these topics, main points, and conclusions. Use specific references and quotations to support your statements. Once you have a good grip on that book, the conclusion will come simply.
Where To Look For A Book Publisher
Your efforts do not stop after you have taken to write your pride and joy book or novel. In fact, formatting it up to the standards of different publishers and finding the right publisher needs an equally great effort, time and research if you wish to avoid a stack of rejection slips landing in your mail box..
Although there are hundreds and hundreds of them, the best place to look for book publishers is the Writers Market, this is a book which is published once a year incorporating information on book publishers, magazines publishers, and any other imaginable publisher in the writing market.
It will give you the most up-to-date information about the specialization of each publisher, whom to contact, and how to you have to format your manuscript to meet their specifications. For more up to the minute information Writers Market is available online too.
There is a lot of guidance available online which gives tips on how to approach book publishers as well as how to attract the attention of an editor by sending a well-drafted cover letter with your manuscript. Paying great attention to small nuances like these may make a big difference in getting someone to read your submission instead of it being tossed in the rejected pile unread.
Agents are skilled in selling books and can be of great help in getting some attention to your manuscript as they have contacts and can call in favours owed to them by publishers. Though they offer no guarantees but provide very useful counsel and can contribute a lot to your objective, especially if you are a first timer. As book publishers are often flooded with submissions, therefore employing a good agent can get the right person to look at your book faster.
If you are struck with traditional book publishers, you may try to publish on your own book or article. Before venturing out on this route, it is very much advised that you consider the strength of your skills in the area of marketing and distribution because that will be your responsibility. You may use some publishing companies that help only with the printing of your book. Before you sign up with any self-publishing company, make sure that you do extensive research before you commit to anything. Beware of scams - of which as in any industry there can be many - as there are some companies that will take your money and do little else.
