Well, there are a few very good reasons, as you are about to find out.

Reason #1 (by far) - You Could Save Your Life

Taking a defensive driver course could save your life! It doesn't matter how careful or responsible you are when driving, accidents can still happen. Many accidents are caused by other drivers you encounter on the roads who act irresponsibly and drive dangerously. in addition to being careful, responsible and courteous yourself, you must also drive defensively to avoid others who drive dangerously.



Reason #2 - Avoid Emotional, Physical and Financial Hardship

Large numbers of people are seriously injured in each year. Being involved in a car accident results in traumatic emotional, physical and financial hardship, and is often caused through no fault of your own. Accidents like this can affect you and your loved ones for many years to come. Taking advantage of a good defensive driver course can help learn techniques for combating the irresponsible and dangerous driving of others.

Reason #3 - Save Money On Insurance Premiums

Many companies offer discounts and rebates to drivers who have undertaken a certified defensive driver course. Drivers who invest in defensive driving education and present a to their insurance company can often benefit from reduced car insurance costs.

Reason #4 - Dismissal

In some municipalities, completing a defensive driver course is one of the consequences of being booked for a traffic violation.

Completion of the defensive driver course, and presentation of the appropriate documentation can sometimes entitle you to a dismissal of the ticket. Undergoing driver education can also help you to drive in a much safer manner and avoid traffic violations in the first place.

Reason #5 - Learn Many and Varied Strategies For Safety

A good defensive driver course will use many tools to teach safety strategies. Quality courses use videos to show clearly the different defensive driving techniques that are important to remaining safe on the road. A good defensive driver course will often use animations to highlight common mistakes made by drivers. Animations are also used to demonstrate important techniques, such as how drivers should enter and exit from a busy freeway. Escape techniques for avoiding dangerous and aggressive drivers are also valuable tools taught by any good defensive driver course.

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons to take a good defensive driver course. Saving your life and avoiding physical, financial and emotional hardship alone would be more than enough reason to invest your money in some quality driver education. Don't delay, do it now!

Project is not for the fainthearted, as it employs some notorious "black hat" strategies to suck traffic from the search engines. Essentially, teaches exactly how some of the biggest search-engine spammers pull off getting thousands of pages and websites indexed in order to earn money from .

Unfortunately, there are some serious issues with this whole search-engine game - the first of which is that this type of behavior, considered highly unethical in some quarters, has caused Google and other search engines to tighten their algorithms so much that white or gray hat sites are getting penalized as well, e.g., for "duplicate content."

Furthermore, as I read Project Black Mask, I kept asking, "How do you keep your Adsense account from being canceled?" PBM provides no real answer to this problem - yet, the chances of losing your account appear to be pretty good if you're uploading thousands and thousands of pages of spammy content that include your Adsense ID in them. In PBM, Goad refers to "Adsense accounts" in the plural, but, unless you are opening up accounts in the name of several shell companies, for example, I don't see how you could have more than one account.

Most of the techniques are not for me, but there was some really good information regarding building large keyword lists, as well as other very useful information concerning in general.

In any event, if you like living on the edge and dangerously, you may like Project Black Mask.

It's a koan or at least a dilemma. A few nights ago, a friend shared how he recently worked with his s" rel="tag">fears and limiting beliefs around money, trust, and abundance.

For six years he had been "at a loss"--literally, unable to figure out why he was living in poverty while everyone around him seemed to manifest abundance so easily. A few weeks ago, he decided to stop asking why and started to simply "walk the walk" of abundance. It started with his awareness that he was out of integrity with himself and his church. His church asks its members to agree to 10% of their earnings to charity. Although he had made the agreement, he had been skimping, telling himself that he didn't have enough money for food or rent so how could he possibly give 10%?

When he confronted this, he made a decision to tithe 10% anyway, even if it meant going hungry. He made one other behavioral change to stop reinforcing his fear of lack. He stopped letting his get dangerously close to empty or even running out of gas. From the moment he stopped letting the fear of lack control him, his business began to boom. Within two weeks, he was booked with work for the next three months and has since given the overflow to other contractors.

So how do we trust enough to /the Universe? This is where and "working in concert" come in. Faith means allowing God/the Universe to provide even though we can't know ahead of time how things will work out. Faith is trusting, even with our fears and limiting beliefs. Working in concert means not sabotaging God/the Universe through behaviors that reinforce our fears and limiting beliefs. It means acting as if--as if we have perfect faith, as if it will all work out, as if we can help ourselves and others even when we don't see how.

This is what my friend did by tithing and by filling up his gas tank. He behaved as if his fears and limiting beliefs didn't have to be true or run the show anymore. I acknowledge him for his hard-won mastery of trust. He is an inspiration.

It is that everyone realizes what stress can do to someone, especially the stress of a loved one's life dangling on a limb. Are you sure they will make the for you, or even that you will make the right for them? It is this question that makes a living will so important. Everyone, no matter how healthy or ill, needs to have a living will.

A living will can be your only voice when you wouldn't otherwise have one. No one ever believes it could happen to them which makes this even more important. In the perfect world we could tell our loved ones what we want and they would do exactly as we say, however our world is not perfect. , in the eyes of the law, what will the doctor believe? What if your family agrees on what may be best for you? What if your family just doesn't know what to do and waste precious time trying to figure it out? These are all things that happen every single day. A living will can make your decisions clear and make sure that you get the care you actually want.

Some people have a lawyer draft a will and living will. Others attempt to make there own. There are many websites offering forms that you can download and fill in. Online forms,do it yourself wills and even lawyer prepared can and do get contested. One of the most important about a will is to have one, no matter what process you choose. The other about a will is to keep it,insurance papers and other important documents where they can be found,not hidden where they might be lost or dis guarded.

One thing with which they take particular exception is what I've written about . I've reported the incidents in which I've been hit by buses as the result of being shoved off the dangerously narrow sidewalks in the city of . I also reported that two from Puerto Vallarta, visiting Guanajuato for the first time, wrote to tell me they, too, were shoved off the sidewalk and narrowly avoided injury. I have reported numerous other cases in which gringos have been shoved off the by uncaring, fast walking youth who shove you to get around you and end up getting you hurt sometimes.

We learned of a lady, reportedly a Gringa, who was hit by a car while on the sidewalk here in Guanajuato. She was so severely injured she required emergency surgery to repair her crushed leg.

We learned just yesterday of a six-year-old girl who was run over and killed by a bus driver who was driving way too fast and wasn't able to stop in time to avoid her. The tragedy resulted in some extensive placements of what we in America would call "speed bumps" (in Spanish, ) on this road to slow down all the recklessly fast traffic.

However, these Gringolandias living in Guanajuato's Gringolandia claim through my teeth when I report this information.

The fact is that the Mexicans driving these buses and, in some cases the cabs, are way too careless.



Now, here is some good fodder for the Gringolandians to have a meeting and discuss (they've actually had meetings about the articles I write=97their lives must be so empty they need to have a meeting to discuss me!!).

My wife and were heading out to El Campo (the country) by bus to have dinner with some Expat friends. They are true expats. They are always so encouraging. Some of the stories they've told us about Mexican life in El Campo have also been labeled by Guanajuato's Gringolandians as yet more lies from my keyboard.

My wife and I were sitting directly in back of the bus driver. When he got to the halfway point between Guanajuato and where our friends live, he slowed the bus down. I cannot even guess what the speed was because I couldn't see. I thought he was going to pull off the road and onto the shoulder to let someone out. This happens all the time. Someone wants off just anywhere, so he or she tells the driver or his assistant where to stop.

Anyway, the bus driver suddenly leapt up from the seat, leaving the bus unmanned. He shouted something at his relief guy who, by the way, looked every bit of ten years old. Then, the bus driver jumped off the still-moving bus. The relief kid casually walked toward the front of the bus, but first stopped and asked this older woman where she wanted to depart the bus. He then crawled behind the steering wheel and sped up to finish the run. The bus was driverless for about thirty seconds (according to my wife=97I was too stunned to count seconds) just moving along driverless.

The kid took over the bus, deposited us at our stop in the boondocks, and we stumbled down the lane to our friends' house.

They told us, when we related the story, they've seen this happen more than once.

Our friend usually begins screaming in her fluent Spanish at the drivers when they pull this stunt. Her husband doesn't scream but thanks the driver for not killing him today.

The point?

This stuff happens. How many must get hurt before the Gringolandians admit that living their make-believe existences, with their SUV's, shopping at the superstores, does not permit them to see this stuff. They rarely, if ever, ride the buses or walk the streets in the barrios.

Their logic: You've got to be lying, Bower. Since we've not seen or experienced it, it cannot have happened.

Just brilliant!

I started living in apartments during my last few years of college and I have been living in apartment situations ever since. I guess I fell in love with apartments and I have had a hard time moving on. Call me crazy, but living in an and having neighbors all around me. I love knowing that there are people above, below and on the sides of me. I love knowing that I am surrounded by a community of people. Their is such a diversity in the people that live in my apartment building and I love this. It is, perhaps, the biggest reason that I cannot get enough of this kind of living. I have from all around the world just by going upstairs or downstairs in my apartment building and I have had the opportunity to build the best friendships of my life because of where I've lived.

My life is busy. Being a realtor in a large and busy city means that I have little time to relax and enjoy life outside of work. I know that many, many professionals know what I'm talking about. So another great thing about living in apartments is that it is such a low- place to live. I, for one, do not have enough time in my weeks to take care of the immense amount of upkeep that living in a home requires. So apartments are perfect for me because there is little to no maintenance to be handled in this kind of living. So if you're a busy professional or family that wants to spend life on things other than doing maintenance to a yard, then you should really consider living in apartments.

Another great benefit of living in apartments is that you have the freedom to get up and move at any time. So if you need a place to live for a few months or for just a few years, then you should consider apartment living over buying a house. The last thing you want is to be tied down to a home that you own when you are a person on the move. So consider apartments if you plan to be mobile in the months and years to come.

This brings us to why this question can also be answered "NO".

"NO" people can not make a living off of HYIPs unless they are extremely skilled, and are already in a good financial situation. This can be said however for and investing as well. If you have half a million $'s then sure, you can live off of the earnings you make in the stock and , or turn to the more risky HYIPs to earn even higher returns.

The point of this article is to show that usually if you are looking to make a living on HYIPs, then you probably won't (and should not) be able to do it without risking a very large portion of your assets. On the other hand, those people who have a great deal of money and are not looking to make a living since they have more then enough funds to live off of, are the people who can make a living off of HYIPs. If you are desparate and looking for quick cash, then you should not be investing large sums of money in this arena, however if you are wealthy and looking to increase your wealth and have fun, the HYIP arena may be right for you.

In conclusion, those looking to make a living in this arena are those that probably won't, while those people who are not looking to make a living in HYIPs are usually the ones who do, but don't need to.

The creation of a living will may be even a little more difficult to face and deal with. No one wants to think of themselves as lying in a or being so ill that there's nothing medically left to do for us and that dying is the only thing left.

Still, having a living will is essential, and since we never know what will happen from day to day, you will want to have one made as soon as possible.

Because even though you may not want to confront the issue of being allowed to die without , you more than likely have very strong views about having your life prolonged though you may be a burden to others, as well as about being in an accident of some sort that leaves you unable to state your wishes in the case of such an event's happening.

This is why having a living will is . Think of the , for example. All people had to go on was what her husband and parents had to say=97and they obviously had very different views on the subject. Had Terri had a living will, more than likely a great deal of frustration, anger and pain, not to mention time wasted and tax money spent, could have been prevented.

A living will has the ability to speak for you when you cannot speak for yourself. It is vital to answering any questions like those that came up in the Schiavo case and can eliminate the need for taking such an issue to the courts. Because once the courts get involved, we all know what happens: months and months of discussion, ruling and overruling that repeats itself in an that does little but draw out the pain and expense.

For a living will to be legal and binding, it must be witnessed by a government official such as a . There are standard living will documents that attorneys use or you can have an attorney create yours.

However, you do not have to have an attorney make your living will as long as you have it duly witnessed along with the appropriate seal. This is an alternative that appeals to many people and they make their own, but fail to make sure they're legally binding. So if you choose to go this route, make sure you legalize it. Remember, you may have an idea about your final wishes, but your family members may have another.

Finally, once you have created and made your living will legally binding, be sure that the person who will have your power of attorney is aware of the will and that they know where to find it in case it should be needed. Too often, people make living wills but don't let anyone know about it or where to find it. Hospitals will require a copy, so it is essential that whomever has your power of attorney knows about your living will and your wishes as well as where the living will is should it ever be needed. The last thing you want is to go to the effort of creating a living will and not have it adhered to because the right person doesn't know where it is!

They have been, and still are, a worldwide epidemic.

Historically, the ancient Romans were cursed with them too. In fact, they had such an outbreak of cold sores and fever blisters going on in Rome, the emperor banished kissing in public ceremonies. Today, it is estimated that nine out of every ten men, women and children over seven are infected with the virus that causes these unsightly blisters.

By the time you finish reading this short article, you will know the what, why and how of cold sores and fever blisters. You will learn the one thing you must avoid to prevent permanent damage to yourself or someone else when treating a cold sore. Finally, you will discover how to heal them and prevent future outbreaks.



Some folks call them cold sores. Others refer to them as fever blisters. Truth is, they are two different names for the same exact thing. They both are an oral . Cold sores and fever blisters most commonly occur during or after physical stress such as colds (cold sore) and flu (fever blister). And that is how they got their names. Cold sores are the most common term used for these blisters.



The root cause of these hideous and is the , type 1 or type 2. We all have various viruses in our bodies at any given time. Most, like cold and flu viruses, eventually disappear. This is not true with the . This virus will likely stay with you your entire life.

Fortunately, the fever blisters and cold sores oral herpes virus is normally latent. Nearly a third of all those infected will never get an outbreak. They will never even know they carry the herpes virus. The other two-thirds of us will get one or more fever blisters per year.

Cold sores and fever blisters are dangerously contagious.



During an outbreak, you can easily spread the virus to someone else. You can easily spread cold sores to other areas of your body, such as your eyes. Fever blisters on the cornea can cause permanent damage or blindness. Avoid the itching temptation to touch the sore with your bare fingers. Constantly clean with alcohol on cotton balls or swabs. Coat them with a virus killing oil such as garlic or oregano oil. Don't be kissing anyone, anywhere.



How frequent and severe your cold sores depend greatly on your physical condition.

It depends on the strength of your immune system. There are several easy ways others have used to quickly heal and prevent cold sores and fever blisters.

Lysine is a popular natural remedy for the herpes virus. It works quite well at a dosage of 1000 to 3000 mg. per day during the event. Those who get frequent blisters often do well taking a daily maintenance dosage of 500 mg. If you can get by without the maintenance dosage you might be better off. Studies have shown that the body may develop a tolerance to lysine.



Every person who is prone to cold sores and fever blisters should be taking a good quality multi-vitamin. This is critical today for a high level of health. It helps to reduce the effects of stress and give you a stronger immunity. And by good quality I do not mean the drug store one or two-per-day junk vitamin pills. They do not contain enough nutrients for your body to notice. And, they often do not dissolve during digestion. I have personally seen them in bedpans.

You could still read the brand name on them.



Quite honestly, you will get more nutrition from two ounces of broccoli. Go to a vitamin store or check on-line. Expect dosages of six capsules or three large tablets per day. Better yet, dosage packets are becoming real popular today. That is what I am currently using.



Should the oral herpes virus break through the immune sentries, and you start to feel a burning or itching sensation on your lip or nose, get some ice or something cold on it immediately. This will often send the virus back into hibernation.

Herpes simplex virus does not like cold. Acting quickly with the ice is an easy and proven way many cold sore victims use to prevent cold sores and fever blisters. Denny Bodoh is a 35-year newspaper veteran and natural health research writer.

In this article, I will give you great info about cold sore attacks that you can use. You will discover, in a minute, practical and fresh info about cold sores that you will not find anywhere else.



Cold sores are not new. Yes, they certainly are an epidemic of global proportions today. But, according to history, cold sore outbreaks were epidemic even 2000 years ago. Over 59% of the world population today will get a cold sore in the next 24 months. Most will have multiple cold sores during that time.

How many do you get per year? The average is three to four outbreaks per 12-month period.

The root cause of a cold sore outbreak is an active . There are two types of this virus that are known to . 1 causes 79% of the facial sores. Type 2 herpes is the cause of the other 21%.

A sore created by either type of herpes is identical in look, feel, and duration time. There is six other that cause diseases such as mono, chicken pox, and shingles.



No info about cold sore events should be presented without mention of how easy it is for spreading . Simply put, cold sores are EXTREMELY AND DANGEROUSLY CONTAGIOUS. Your cold sore virus, when active, can be spread to others by touch, or by commonly used objects, such as faucets. You can also easily spread it to other areas of your own body. The most feared is infecting your eye. Such an event can cause permanent loss of vision. Usual cause of spreading cold sore virus to the eyes is contaminated fingers.



The herpes simplex virus is sub-microscopic. Tiny indeed. Similar size viruses are head cold and . When you have a head cold or flu, your mouth and nasal fluids contain these viruses. Same is true with active cold sores. When you sneeze or cough, these viruses can become airborne in droplets of moisture and infect people near you.

Fortunately, cold sores will generally stay in the same area as the initial infection site. They have not, as yet, been known to spread internally. A close cousin, chicken pox, does spread internally and creates sores all over the body. Fortunately, one bout with chicken pox is all you will likely have in a lifetime.



This is not so with cold sores.

Your cold sore attacks can reoccur many times over your lifetime. With each cold sore event, your body creates additional anti-bodies to protect you. However, the cold sore virus is extremely good at hiding and survival. Because of this, the herpes simplex virus will likely be with you for life.



Only recently have scientists discovered why.

The herpes simplex virus will hide in your nerve cells in the nerve ganglia near your ear - for facial cold sores. Not only does this virus hide in the nerve cell, it actually takes control of it. Each of your cells is programmed to die and be reborn. The cold sore virus interferes with this process and will not let the cell die. In addition, the virus will hibernate in such a way that it gives off little or no signs of life that could be tracked by our body defenses. Over the centuries, it truly has adapted for survival.

The open, weeping cold sore occurs when the herpes virus replicates. The virus senses when your immunity is down or distracted. It then becomes active and quickly moves to the surface through the nerve fibers. Once at the surface, each virus enters a nerve cell. It then forces the cell to create clones of itself. When the cell is full, the original virus kills the cell to release the new viruses. These new viruses are complete and full size, identical to the original virus.

You have now learned that the root cause of cold sores is the replication process of the herpes simplex virus. You have also discovered that this virus is a master at hiding.

It hides undetected from our own body defenses and all the medications invented so far. And finally, you now know that cold sore virus is not just an inconvenience but is dangerously contagious. The ease of spreading cold sore virus is why it is an epidemic today.

This is especially the case when machines must be used to keep you alive due to a severe injury or illness. It is in tragic times like these that a living will can be the difference between saving or breaking a family--economically at least.

A living will is a legal document granting another person the right to cease treatment in the event a person becomes unable to live, eat, and function without the aid of machines or . A may be removed, a ventilator turned off, or any other machine or device that is being used to keep a person alive may be discontinued or turned off if the of a living will determines so.

Of course, there are certain conditions that must be in order for the executor of a living will to be able to make the decision to cease treatment. , there are no uniform and concrete set of conditions to be met in a living will because they differ from .

In general, however, physicians must determine that a person is unlikely to improve and in a debilitative or painful state. Also, the person must not be able to care for themselves and thus require a machine or other medical device in order to remain alive. At that point, a person with a living will can have treatment terminated if the executor requests doctors to do so.

Of course, there are instances when a living will is contested by other family members not named in the living will. In most cases, the courts have ruled in favor of the wishes made clear in the living will and rarely ordered the continuation of treatment. And honestly, that treatment is very expensive and run into the thousands of dollars--each and every day.

No one wants to see the passing of a loved one but no one wants to see them suffer, either. If a person took the time to have a living will drafted and they found themselves in a situation covered by the document, then chances are they would want treatment stopped. While an unpleasant topic, the fact remains that medical situations arise where the person will not recover and is only being kept alive by machines. Prolonging life at that point only costs everyone more suffering, confusion, and money. A living will is the responsible alternative that takes a potentially painful decision out of other people's hands and puts it squarely in yours--where it belongs.

The focal point you choose depends entirely on what is your intended use of your space. For a family with young children, using the television as a focal point makes eminent sense. After all, the TV will probably be in use an awful lot. If, however, the room is primarily used for conversation or entertaining, it may be a better use of space to place a low table in the center of the room and surround it with seating.
