    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Carpet cleaning gets a bad reputation for a number of different reasons. This article will expose some of the negative <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth" rel="tag">myth</a>s of carpet cleaning. Keep reading and find out more about why you do not need to fear the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/carpet+cleaner" rel="tag">carpet cleaner</a>. <br /><br /> The number one myth about carpet cleaning is that it causes carpet to get dirty quicker. This myth comes from people who have had their carpet cleaned by a sloppy professional or have done it themselves. When carpet is cleaned improperly it is left with a high amount of soapy residue. This residue will attract soil quickly and lead to rapid soiling. If carpet is cleaned correctly it will not be left with a residue. Professional cleaners are able to completely remove all traces of detergents and shampoos after the cleaning. <br /><br /> The next myth about carpet cleaning is that it can cause the carpet to shrink or stretch out. This myth comes from the fact that carpets used to have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/jute+backing" rel="tag">Jute backing</a>. This backing would stretch and shrink if over wetted by sloppy <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/carpet+cleaners" rel="tag">carpet cleaners</a> or do it yourself cleaning. Jute backing is no longer used. Carpet today has a latex backing which is not affected by moisture the same way that Jute was. <br /><br /> The last myth I will discuss is the myth that carpet cleaning causes mold. I can understand how this could be scary but to grow mold your carpet would have to stay wet for a long period of time, days or even weeks. Carpet cleaners today can get carpets dry in as little as one hour and the norm is no longer than six hours. This myth comes from once again bad carpet cleaners and faulty home cleaning methods. <br /><br /> As you can see most of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/negative+myths" rel="tag">negative myths</a> in carpet cleaning come from bad <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/carpet+cleaning+methods" rel="tag">carpet cleaning methods</a>. Modern and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/quality+carpet" rel="tag">quality carpet</a> cleaners do not have these problems so you have nothing to worry about. just do some research and choose a quality carpet cleaner for your next carpet cleaning.   <bio>Visit <a href="http://www.fortcollinscarpetcleaning.info" >http://www.fortcollinscarpetcleaning.info</a> for more information on carpet cleaning.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[People tend to steer clear of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/foreclosure+properties" rel="tag">foreclosure properties</a> because of one of the many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myths" rel="tag">myths</a> that they have. A bank <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/foreclosure+property" rel="tag">foreclosure property</a> is easy to understand and buy if you know the facts. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/unfortunately" rel="tag">Unfortunately</a>, as this industry has grown, there have been a lot of myths that have started to surface.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We hear it over and over again: It's the number one <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth" rel="tag">myth</a> about <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/online+registration+system" rel="tag">online registration system</a>s that keeps many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/meeting+planners" rel="tag">meeting planners</a> from making their lives easier and their events more successful. We want to explore this myth, bring the truth out into the light so that everyone knows what online registration is really about. <br /><br /> The #1 Myth: <br /><br /> I know my current system isn't perfect, but I'm comfortable with it. Plus, it would take too much time, money and headaches to switch to something better. I wouldn't even know where to start. <br /><br /> Why is this myth completely false? <br /><br /> Because thousands of meeting planners said the same thing before they discovered that a high-quality automated system: <br /><br /> * Is easy to implement without any technical knowledge  * Only takes a matter of hours to set up - and in some cases, less than an hour  * More than pays for itself -- and is affordable to even the smallest meetings <br /><br /> How is this possible? <br /><br /> A few years ago, these systems were made available through your web browser. No software to buy, install, or maintain. You don't have to figure out how to connect to your website. This entirely new type of service exists on the web, instead of on your office computers, allowing for anywhere, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anytime" rel="tag">anytime</a>, real-time access to your events and corresponding data. <br /><br /> * The benefits of a Web-based Service:  * You don't need a technology department to use it  * You can turn it on immediately  * You control everything without having to wait -- form changes, reports, accounting  * You can give immediate access to your colleagues anywhere in the world, anytime  * The security of your data will be many times greater  * You get to use a multi-million dollar online registration system for just a few dollars per registration. <br /><br /> I sincerely hope this article makes your conference and event registration even more successful!   <bio>If you would like to receive more great tips on how to increase your registrations and decrease your workload, visit <a href="http://www.<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/regonline" rel="tag">RegOnline</a>.com/eTips" >http://www.RegOnline.com/eTips</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[One man's food is another man's poison. Your reality is my <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth" rel="tag">myth</a>. The sudden, unexpected appearance of acne is somewhat mythical. You just don't understand its way of functioning. And whenever you are unable to understand something and you are unable to get at the root of its happening, you attribute certain strange characteristics to it. And the same is true for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acne+myths" rel="tag">acne myths</a>. <br /><br /> Can two walk together except they agree upon walking? The scientists and the believers are generally opposed to each other. These are the two contending forces. These are the two opposing forces. As far as acne is concerned, the same rule applies. <br /><br /> Here is a comprehensive list of some popular acne myths. <br /><br /> Myth 1: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/diet" rel="tag">Diet</a>:  It is believed that diet has a major role to play in worsening or improving the acne situation, wherein <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dermatologists" rel="tag">dermatologists</a> simply refute this. As per dermatologists you can eat whatever you want to, you can take as many chocolates as you wish. But the popular belief goes heavily against this. <br /><br /> Myth 2: Washing  The second myth is about washing the affected area. Wash your face or the affected area as many times as you feel, says the myth mongers. Because they believe that washing helps the cause. <br /><br /> But the fact is blemishes are not formed by dirt. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+pores" rel="tag">skin pores</a> do not get blocked in the way most people think. Collapsing of pores occurs from within and never from top down. And this is what is responsible for acne process. <br /><br /> Going by the proven facts, excessive washing can give negative results and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cause+acne" rel="tag">cause acne</a> condition to worsen. Do not use a flannel for washing but only the bare hands. <br /><br /> Myth 3: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stress" rel="tag">Stress</a>  Let stress not be the reason for your future breakouts. No, it has nothing to do with your acne conditions. Acne and stress are poles apart. Do you have acne every time you have stress? <br /><br /> If this is not true, you can't say that when you have stress, you have acne. Don't carry the guilty conscious that your stress is responsible for your acne. If stress is the reason for acne when you have to pay heavy income tax annually, you should have acne, along with millions of others! <br /><br /> Myth 4: Exposure to Sun  The all powerful yet benevolent sun is also drawn into the controversy. Some firmly believe that the warm rays of the sum will help them to mitigate the suffering on account of spots and pimples. But the scientists say that exposure to the sun will damage your cause further. <br /><br /> Myth 5: Communicable or non communicable?  Some believe that acne is contagious. In reality, it is not. It is a non-communicable disease. You are also advised to leave acne to its fate. It will come and it will go. But the fact is that acne can be treated and it will strike you irrespective of age bar. It is foolish to leave it without treatment. <br /><br /> The reality of the situation is millions suffer from acne, at any given time. Some gossip about it and there arises a rumor. The rumor becomes thick rumor, when it goes through several rounds. The thick rumor becomes a myth!  <bio><a href="http://www.acnetalks.com/pimple/" >http://www.acnetalks.com/pimple/</a> andamp; Acne provides detailed information on acne treatment, pimples, acne skin care and more. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ More than 48% of US households are headed by <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/unmarried+individuals" rel="tag">unmarried individuals</a>. The American Association for Single People projects that by 2010, 47.2% of adults will be unmarried. Being single does not mean being alone, not does being in a couple for the holidays insure happiness. Let's dispel some myths! <br /><br /> Myth: Single people are lonely at the holidays.  Reality: No moreso than anyone else. This is a projection of people who fear "being alone for the holidays," a fear of the unknown. <br /><br /> Myth: Single people need you to invite them over to your celebration.  Reality: Contrary to perceptions, single people are v. popular at the holidays, and we generally receive lots of invitations. If you want us over, invite us, but because you like us, not because you think we need it. <br /><br /> Myth: Single people don't know what to do for the holidays.  Reality: On the contrary, we are used to planning our social lives actively, good at generating options, and used to making <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/unilateral+decisions" rel="tag">unilateral decisions</a>. We're pros! <br /><br /> Myth: Single people are available to perform certain social tasks during the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/holiday+celebration" rel="tag">holiday celebration</a>.  Reality: We like to be cherished guests. We don't like to be the steer among the bulls =96 invited to get people who don't get along off of one another's throats. If you don't like your family and friends, why would we? "Can you come over and help out with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/aunt+edna" rel="tag">Aunt Edna</a>?" is not an invitation. <br /><br /> Myth: Single people are available to do certain <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/physical+tasks" rel="tag">physical tasks</a> during the holiday celebration.  Reality: Nor is this an invitation: "It's John's in-laws and I want to impress them. Can you come over and help with the hors d'oeuvres?" As best-friend, yes; as the only working-guest, absolutely not. <br /><br /> Myth: Single people are misfits, outsiders.  Reality: On the contrary, most of us have highly developed <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/emotional+intelligence" rel="tag">Emotional Intelligence</a> skills; that's the reason we get the `rescue us' invitations! Outsiders? It's about half the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/adult+world" rel="tag">adult world</a> now. Take another look! <br /><br /> Myth: If a single person isn't part of a couple, or doesn't spend Christmas with a couple or family, they will be miserable.  Reality: Come on now. Is it so horrible to celebrate Christmas on a cruise to the Caribbean, coming back rested, tanned and relaxed? <br /><br /> Myth: The only "happy" way to spend the holidays is if you are a couple or part of a family.  Reality: If that were so, half the articles on the Internet this time of year wouldn't be about how to cope with the annual holiday dinner with the relatives, and the divorce rate in the US wouldn't be 50%. <br /><br /> Myth: Single people have "nowhere to go" for the holidays.  Reality: Nowhere to go? We have everywhere to go! I loved my years as Mrs. Santa. Now I'm on-the-go. I'm thinking about Germany this year. There are so many places to go I can't decide!! <br /><br /> In fact I have so many neat ideas for spending Christmas on-your-own, if you're stuck email me!   <bio>Susan Dunn, MA, www.susandunn.cc, sdunn@susandunn.cc .

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is extremely important for any internet company but also important for web sites from brick and mortar businesses. SEO is important to bring the right targeted audience to your website. There are many myths about SEO, some are true, some were valid a few years ago, and many have no basis. <br /><br /> Myth 1: Multiple Domains <br /><br /> One SEO tactic involves etting up multiple domain names to bring more traffic to your business. This can be helpful, but often is not. Not only would this be expensive (yearly fees for domain name and maintenance) but would be <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/very+time+consuming" rel="tag">very time consuming</a> to maintain all the websites. <br /><br /> Myth 2: Search Engine Submission <br /><br /> Resubmitting your information every few weeks is not necessary, but could even reduce your priority ranking. Once your website is in the database of the search engines, there is no need to update your information. <br /><br /> Myth 3: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/meta+tags" rel="tag">Meta Tags</a> <br /><br /> Another myth is that meta tags increase visitors. These might have been true five - ten years ago years ago, but current search engines do not place priority with the inclusion or absence of meta tags on a website. One important thing to remember is that the search engines do use the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/meta+description+tags" rel="tag">meta description tags</a> when displaying your site in the SERPS. So while the meta tags may not affect your rankings, well written meta tags can increase the number of searchers who visit your site. <br /><br /> Myth 4: SEO Is Too Costly <br /><br /> Other myths include the value of SEO. They feel <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/seo+experts" rel="tag">SEO experts</a> are a costly, unnecessary expense. Marketing efforts are very costly. Direct <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mail" rel="tag">mail</a>, banner ads, radio or TV ad time, print advertisement, e-mails lists and trade fairs can all be more expense than SEO. Some companies believe an in house SEO effort can be as effective as an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/seo+company" rel="tag">SEO company</a>. This is a myth too, and SEO is a function that should be outsourced to ensure the company is aware of the latest trends. Traffic on you your website can be increased drastically by a SEO professional. <br /><br /> Myth 5: SEO Doesn't Matter <br /><br /> The other major myth is that when people are looking for a specific company, they type in the website url. Since the exact name of the website is rarely known, many people (estimated at close to 90%) save time by using a search engine to quickly and easily locate a website. For example, even for major websites like <a href="http://Msn.com" >http://Msn.com</a> or <a href="http://Amazon.com" >http://Amazon.com</a>, people use a search engine to locate the website instead of going directly to the site. SEO is important so that your business may be found on the search engines.   <bio>Need search engine optimization Philadelphia PA services?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Myth #1: A good news release is all you need to get "ink" <br /><br /> The days of the "one size fits all" news releases are gone. Now it's all about customizing and knowing what the media <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/target" rel="tag">target</a> you're pitching is looking for. Making one release isn't a bad idea, but use it as a starting point, not the final message. <br /><br /> Myth #2: Mention your book every chance you get <br /><br /> The surest way to kill an interview (and your chances of getting asked back) is when you mention your book over and over. When you say things like: "as I wrote in my book," you'll cheapen your message and make it look too sales-like. Viewers hate being sold, just give them solid information and they'll buy your book because they'll want to know more. <br /><br /> Myth #3: You must answer every question the media asks you <br /><br /> Despite all your research and expertise, you can't expect to know everything. If you don't know an answer, don't lie or speculate. It's much better to say: "You know, I don't know the answer to that question, but I'm happy to look into it and get back to you," than to make up a story that will make you (and the reporter) look bad. <br /><br /> Myth #4: You can use advertising dollars to influence media interviews <br /><br /> If you're trying to get some airtime or print placement, do not ever allude to buying ad space in order to get them to commit to an interview. This is a completely unethical thing to do, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/conversely" rel="tag">conversely</a>, if someone is trying to get you to buy an ad in order to be considered for their publication or program, run for the hills. <br /><br /> Myth #5: Use big, complicated words; they'll make you sound savvy <br /><br /> It's unfortunate, but the "<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dumbing+down+of+america" rel="tag">dumbing down of America</a>" is a necessary trend and one you shouldn't overlook. Do not use complicated <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/industry+jargon" rel="tag">industry jargon</a> to impress your audience (unless you're speaking to industry experts), you will only confuse them and alienate the person interviewing you. <br /><br /> Myth #6: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/emotion" rel="tag">Emotion</a> is a bad thing <br /><br /> Marketing fact: People buy on emotion. Whether it's happy, sad, or angry. Make them feel something and you'll send them straight to your web site to buy your book. Now I'm not suggesting that you fall apart on camera, but emotion is a good thing. Look human! If it's a subject that you're passionate about, look passionate! If it's a terrible thing you went through that you're writing about, let your audience "feel" that emotion right along with you! <br /><br /> Myth #7: You should never even consider doing an interview without media training <br /><br /> Don't get me wrong, media training is a great thing, but media training without the proper interview prep work can lead to a disaster. For example, don't assume because you're media trained that you can survive any interview without researching the show or publication. Even worse, don't put all your focus on your media training and then forget to update your data to support your interview.   <bio>Penny C.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[When I was a teenager, I was known as the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acne" rel="tag">Acne</a> King, with a face full of scores of black and white heads. My colleagues gave me that nick name with a real and visible motivation. My face was a talking running advertisement for acne. My peers, especially the girls, were according me with generosity their contempt, and I suffered much for it. Removing the ugly acne was more than a necessity. <br /><br /> My parents firmly had the opinion that my acne was the result of a poor diet. Eating out was not the cause of my acne, I presumed. The neighborhood fast food dished out a dose of junk, but a number of my friends ate out with me, even more frequently than I did and nothing happened. It looks like the popular belief was wrong. <br /><br /> The myth was busted out of my life and become to believe that anther myth was true. You can find other teenager related material at <a href="http://www.mmdatahub.com" >http://www.mmdatahub.com</a>. It was about <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chocolate" rel="tag">chocolate</a>, but I couldn't give up eating it, with the entire risk to remain the acne king for my life. I read many articles and medical new about this subject: the good news was that chocolate has nothing to do with my acne. It was a very good news, chocolate is making everybody happier. <br /><br /> My peers had a shocking opinion about my acne; maybe it was another myth about it. They never believe that it was the result of a specific alimentation, but the result of my constant and frequent <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/masturbation" rel="tag">masturbation</a>. Why don't believe them? For a while I did so. But any hot-blooded male, in this point of his life is doing the same. I was a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/teenage+male" rel="tag">teenage male</a> and who doesn't indulge masturbation during this period of his life? After another time, I realized that it was another myth, as false as the others. Was I so stupid to believe that my colleagues, my <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/male+friends" rel="tag">male friends</a> who had no acne at all, did not masturbate? Not at all! I was again playing my <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth+buster" rel="tag">myth buster</a> role: I would believe that they were aliens! Another myth vanished for ever from my life. <br /><br /> Another myth, more veridical than the previous ones, was that acne is the result of too much dirt accumulated on my face. This myth had a genuine and even scientific support, so I believed it. But a logical reason comes to my mind: why my legs and arms, more frequently exposed to dirt wasn't riddled with acne (or any other part of my body)? There are on the market several soaps and solutions especially made to avoid or eradicate acne; the famous anti acne remedy. I spend a major part of my youth washing frequently and seriously my face with this kind of cream, soaps and solutions. Nothing happened. I had the feeling than more I was fighting against my acne, more I was invaded by. <br /><br /> Desperate and without expectation to win this unfair battle, I gave up. I was surrounded by false myths and there was no way to eradicate the acne from my face. After a few years, after I was slowly grown out of my teenage, the acne disappears, on its own, without traces. Maybe some small scares are telling me something about those dark ages, but now my face is clean, pure and radiant!   <bio>Melissa also enjoys these two other informational sites: <a href="http://www.ourpressreleases.com" >http://www.ourpressreleases.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ We are living in a world where the Internet has a far bigger role to play than just connecting people beyond <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/geographical+boundaries" rel="tag">geographical boundaries</a> or enabling VoIP. Internet drives most businesses today, whether we talk about <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/internet+mail" rel="tag">internet mail</a>, online presentations, business meetings through video conferencing or generating revenue through PPC campaigns and other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/internet+marketing+strategies" rel="tag">internet marketing strategies</a>. But there are many people out there who want to be successful entrepreneurs over the internet but there is some myth or the other that is stopping them from being successful. <br /><br /> Let us look at the 10 myths that have kept many people away from being successful entrepreneurs or from generating revenue on the internet: <br /><br /> Myth I: Not good enough <br /><br /> There are many people who feel that they are not smart enough or good enough to do online business and the truth is that although business over the internet might not be for everyone but it is not impossible. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth+ii" rel="tag">Myth II</a>: Not enough time <br /><br /> Most of you are probably doing 80hrs a week and to add to it is the commuting time and the time you spend with your family. Most people would ask how can there be time left for an online business after all this. If you are working 10 hrs a day and if you are commuting by train then you can always think and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/jot+down" rel="tag">jot down</a> your ideas while traveling. Spend about an hour every night before you hit the bed to browse through the internet and find the required information and the right sources that will help your business. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth+iii" rel="tag">Myth III</a>: Not enough money <br /><br /> Although it may seem like a costly proposition on the outside but the truth is that the internet is really cheap. Most website hosting companies are also offering cheap hosting services ranging from as less as a $1 a month. A simple website design using basic HTML will not cost you more than $100 and broadband is also available at low costs. So you can set up an online business within a budget of $150 with ease and start reaping the benefits from the first month itself. <br /><br /> Myth IV: Not an expert <br /><br /> You don't have to be an expert to start an online business. You may need to be a construction engineer to build bridges, but you don't require any kind of educational qualification or work experience to be successful on the internet. All you need is an understanding of how the internet works and how you can take advantage of the internet to generate revenue. <br /><br /> Myth V: What should I sell? <br /><br /> There are many who believe that they have nothing to sell at all on the internet but they are wrong. You don't have to really start by selling a product or a service of your own. You can choose to sell some other companies product or service on a commission basis and then slowly grow from there. <br /><br /> Myth VI: Competition <br /><br /> One of the worst excuses is that there are already a lot of players in this field and hence it is difficult to survive. The truth is that competition is everywhere but as long as you have the desire to succeed, you can overthrow any competition. Another important thing is that your loss will be someone else's gain. <br /><br /> Myth VII: Making money <br /><br /> Some people believe that the only people really making any money are the ones who tell others how to make money. This is not true because although there are many people who advice people on how to make money but such people comprise of only 1% of the internet business. <br /><br /> Myth VIII: No Success <br /><br /> There are some people who have met with failure but that is no reason for believing that they are not cut out for internet business. Sometimes, the reasons for failure are because of our own faults like not being able to capitalize on an opportunity or failing to recognize one or bad decision making. <br /><br /> Myth IX: Search Engine Ranking <br /><br /> There are many who believe that there business can't reach places without a search engine ranking. This is untrue. Not everyone is on the number 1 page of Google but that doesn't mean that they are not successful businesses. <br /><br /> Myth IX: Advertising Budget <br /><br /> You don't necessarily require an advertising budget to increase the visibility of your business. There are many different ways of doing it without even spending a dime like back linking, article submissions etc. <br /><br /> At the end, it is all about making a start!   <bio>Seomul Davis is search engine optimization specialist for SEO 1 Services links <a href="http://www.seo-1-marketing-services.com" >http://www.seo-1-marketing-services.com</a> <a href="http://www.seo-1-marketing-services.com/company.htm" >http://www.seo-1-marketing-services.com/company.htm</a> <a href="http://www.seo-services-expert.com" >http://www.seo-services-expert.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Are you a believer of Global warming or not? Or are you one of the cynics yet to be convinced? Well both have a part to play in the Global Warming arena debate. The whole issue is surrounded by facts and figures but when these facts and figures are looked at it is very difficult to prove them with science, so you end up with hearsay. <br /><br /> Global warming from our point of view is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans. <br /><br /> When you observe all the different global warming myths that are published in various publications, online, TV, and radio you will understand the issue with conflicting information. Because of these global warming myths come in many forms it is essential to understand the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/causes+of+global+warming" rel="tag">causes of global warming</a>, and the facts attached to those myths. <br /><br /> MYTH: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/water+vapour" rel="tag">Water vapour</a> is the most important, abundant <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/greenhouse+gas" rel="tag">greenhouse gas</a>. So if we're going to control a greenhouse gas, why don't we control it instead of carbon dioxide? <br /><br /> FACT: Water vapour does trap more heat than carbon dioxide (CO2), but as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/co2+levels" rel="tag">CO2 levels</a> increase in the atmosphere, they lead to warmer conditions, which lead to more water vapour in the air, which leads to even warmer conditions, thus a never ending cycle. Because of this relationship between CO2, water vapour and climate, to fight global warming nations must focus on controlling CO2. <br /><br /><br /><br /> MYTH: Global warming reduces as the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ozone+hole" rel="tag">ozone hole</a> shrinks. <br /><br /> FACT: Global warming and the ozone hole are two separate issues. <br /><br /><br /><br /> MYTH: Global warming is not occurring due to some glaciers and ice sheets are expanding and not shrinking. <br /><br /> FACT: In most parts of the world, the shrinking of glaciers and ice caps have been dramatic. The best available scientific data indicate that Greenland's <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/massive+ice" rel="tag">massive ice</a> sheet is shrinking. <br /><br /><br /><br /> MYTH: So what if global warming is a problem, trying to fix it will affect American industry and workers. <br /><br /> FACT: A well thought out trading program will harness <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/american+ingenuity" rel="tag">American ingenuity</a> to decrease heat-trapping pollution cost-effectively, jumpstarting a new carbon economy. <br /><br /><br /><br /> MYTH: The cold winters and cool summers that have been happening of late are not the effects of global warming, and are infrequent events. <br /><br /> FACT: While it is true that different areas of country's have experienced some colder winters here and there, between them the average temperature has ben on the up. <br /><br /><br /><br /> MYTH: We can adapt to climate change. Civilizations have survived droughts and temperature shifts in the past. <br /><br /> FACT: Although it is true that the human race has survived an onslaught of drought and prolonged warmth along with the bitter cold and more, entire societies have collapsed from dramatic climatic shifts. <br /><br /><br /><br /> MYTH: Global warming along with extra CO2 will be beneficial, they reduce cold related deaths and stimulate crop growth. <br /><br /> FACT: Any beneficial effects will be far outweighed by damage and disruption. <br /><br /><br /><br /> MYTH: Global warming is just part of the worlds natural cycle. The Arctic has warmed up in the past as it is doing now. <br /><br /> FACT: The global warming we are experiencing is not natural. People are causing it. <br /><br /><br /><br /> While the global warming myth story is interesting, it does reduce the impact of the facts. But as they say "Truth is stranger than fiction." The many myths on global warming doing the rounds are based on global warming statistics, just with a different view point. <br /><br /> It is always best, as with everything, to look at the global warming myth with an open mind. There is always two sides to every coin, so explore both before making your full opinion. <br /><br /> Perhaps this article on global warming myth with strike a chord with you and will inspire further reading into the subject.   <bio>Global Warming reference site <a href="http://www.worldclimatewarming.com/" >http://www.worldclimatewarming.com/</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In today's society, it seems as if <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth" rel="tag">myth</a>s are all around us. There are myths about how you can lose weight, how you can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/make+money+online" rel="tag">make money online</a>, and so forth. What you may not <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/necessarily" rel="tag">necessarily</a> know is that there are also myths associated with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fish+tanks" rel="tag">fish tanks</a>. Yes; fish tanks. Many of these myths are centered on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/custom+aquariums" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/custom+aquarium" rel="tag">custom aquarium</a>s</a>. <br /><br /> If you are interested in buying a custom aquarium, you are urged not to fall victim to the many custom aquarium myths. Should you mistakenly believe these myths, you may end up not purchasing a custom aquarium. You never really know, but that could result in you missing out on the one of the best purchases of your lifetime. The best way to not fall victim to the many custom aquarium myths is to know what they are. A few of the most <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/common+myths" rel="tag">common myths</a> are outlined below. <br /><br /> MYTH: Custom aquariums are only for the rich and famous. <br /><br /> TRUTH: This myth actually couldn't be farther from the truth. Custom aquariums are not just for the rich and famous. In fact, custom aquariums are ideal for just about anyone and for any purpose. There are a large number of "everyday," individuals who have custom aquariums in their homes or in their businesses. <br /><br /> MYTH: Custom aquariums are only for business owners, not homeowners. <br /><br /> TRUTH: As with the above mentioned myth, it is important to remember that custom aquariums are actually for all individuals. Yes, custom fish tanks are commonly found inside public establishments, namely businesses, but they can also be found inside many homes. Essentially, if you want to purchase a custom aquarium, whether that aquarium is for your home or your office, you should be able to do so. <br /><br /> MYTH: Custom aquariums are expensive. <br /><br /> TRUTH: While it is possible to find quite a few custom aquariums that are expensive or ones that are finically out of your reach, you should still have a number of custom aquariums to choose from. Custom aquariums, like all other aquariums, are available for a wide range of different prices. With a little bit of research, you should be able to find a custom aquarium that is within your budget. <br /><br /> MYTH: Custom aquariums are a waste of money. <br /><br /> TRUTH: This is another myth that couldn't be farther from the truth. When you actually think about it, custom aquariums are a wise purchase and they can even be considered an investment. Almost all custom aquariums, at least the best ones, are made from acrylic materials. These materials are known to be strong, durable, and dependable. In fact, that is why many fish tank suppliers and manufacturers actually offer warranties on their aquariums, including custom aquariums. With a warranty, you know that you are purchasing a quality custom aquarium; one that will not be a waste of your money. <br /><br /> MYTH: Custom aquariums are only aquariums that are large in size, like in-wall aquariums. <br /><br /> TRUTH: Custom aquariums come in all different sizes, shapes, and styles. In fact, that is the beauty of ordering a custom aquarium; you pretty much get to help design the aquarium that you would like to purchase. While a large number of custom aquariums are large in size, there are many medium sized or even small sized custom aquariums. When a custom aquarium is ordered, it is most commonly ordered because the purchaser couldn't find what they were looking for elsewhere. While there are some custom aquarium restrictions, depending on the manufacturer in question, custom aquariums can be purchased in a wide variety of different sizes, shapes, and styles. <br /><br /> MYTH: Custom aquariums can only be ordered directly through a fish tank manufacturer. <br /><br /> TRUTH: Yes, a fish tank manufacturer will likely be the one making your custom aquarium, but you don't have to place your order directly with the manufacturer. There are a number of fish tank supply stores, both on and offline, that work directly with many fish tank manufacturers. These retail stores, such as FishTanksDirect.com, can take and process all custom aquarium orders, including yours. <br /><br /> Now that you know some of the many myths associated with custom aquariums, you are less likely to fall victim to those myths. With any large purchase, like the purchase of a custom aquarium, you are encouraged to thoroughly examine your decision to make sure that it is the right one for you.   <bio>Fish Tanks are a wonderful addition for any home. Relax in your house and find tranquility with your very own acrylic aquariums. A number of health officials say that fish tanks can actually reduce stress. <a href="http://www.fishtanksdirect.com" >http://www.fishtanksdirect.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[As in any gambling game, there are many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/online+bingo" rel="tag">online bingo</a> myths abounding. While these are mainly surrounding the type of people who <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/play+online" rel="tag">play online</a> bingo, some of these myths are centered on the security of online bingo. <br /><br /> Players should be aware of these myths, as they need to be able to make informed decisions before they believe rumors they may have heard. <br /><br /> Online Bingo Myth 1: Only un-employed people play online bingo. <br /><br /> Recent surveys have shown that the online bingo market is primarily full-time employed women between the ages of 25 and 50. The majority of these players play online bingo for relaxation and entertainment after a day at the office. There is, however, a small percentage of players who do not work. <br /><br /> Online Bingo Myth 2: People who play online do not play land-based bingo. <br /><br /> Most online players also play at <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bingo+halls" rel="tag">bingo halls</a> or churches. The majority of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bingo+players" rel="tag">bingo players</a> do not play only to win, they see the game as a social activity. Many play online bingo on a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/daily+basis" rel="tag">daily basis</a>, while they generally only play land-based bingo once a week. It is also often easier for players to play from the comfort of their homes. <br /><br /> Online Bingo Myth 3: Players who win all the time have 'beaten the system'. <br /><br /> Players who win a lot often buy many cards and play a lot of games. They usually make bigger deposits as well, to ensure that their accounts are funded. Online bingo is a game of chance, and aside from buying more cards and playing often, there are no sure ways to win bingo. <br /><br /> Online Bingo Myth 4: Online bingo is a security risk. <br /><br /> Almost every online bingo site has specialized programs to ensure that all transactions are secure. Payment software such as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/neteller" rel="tag">NETeller</a> allows players to make deposits without putting their financial details at risk. Advanced technology ensures that online bingo is as safe as land-based bingo. <br /><br /> Online Bingo Myth 5: Online bingo has no social benefits. <br /><br /> While players may not get drinks and snacks when they play at online bingo sites, they can still meet fellow players. Features like schedule buying options and chat features enable players to spend time chatting, as they do not need to call bingo on their cards. Chat has become an integral part of online bingo, and players get to know one another really well. <br /><br /> The reality of online bingo is that it is just as much of an experience as land-based bingo, in fact it has even more to offer as players can play from home. It offers something for everyone.   <bio>Mary Weber has been an online bingo fanatic for over 7 years. Though she has played other forms of online gambling, Mary has always stated that bingo is her true passion. Her internet bingo related publications are filled with interesting and useful online bingo tips. Her many articles she has written can be found at: <a href="http://www.online-bingo.net" >http://www.online-bingo.net</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ And here is the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cool+thing" rel="tag">cool thing</a> about being in an Internet small business, your competition, you can see exactly what they are doing all the time, any time you want to see what they are doing you just look. Like I said before, once the competition clicks on your ads in pay per click just to see your ad, but they want to click on it more to see what you are doing on your landing page and your lead capture page. They look to see if they need to get an edge on you or create something a little different for themselves, because you just changed what you are doing. It always pushes people forward and makes you a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/better+person" rel="tag">better person</a>. That is how people become such good marketers because of competition. Some people would not be that good today if there was no competition. It forces you to try new things all the time, forces you to learn new things, get more courses, learn more from their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mentors" rel="tag">mentors</a>. <br /><br /> Many people pay tremendous amounts of money to their mentors to learn all the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/different+things" rel="tag">different things</a> that make them successful. The mentor is a millionaire or a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a> today, but you learn from them all the different tactics that can make you a millionaire or a billionaire today. It should be part of your success philosophy in any industry you want to learn something in, just find the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cream+of+the+crop" rel="tag">cream of the crop</a> in that industry, who you perceive that gives you great value as being the cream of the crop, and pay them what they want and learn everything you can from them. It will make you who you are, so other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myths" rel="tag">myths</a> that are out there that you hear, I just talked about one myth now, but there are lots of myths out there. One of the myths out there is about making sales at a certain time or to recruit or sponsor, whatever you want to call it, that is a myth too. <br /><br /> We can prove that wrong numerous times, it is just a myth. We have told people that we continue on with business as usual and why the people that believe that myth in their head, you are out there capitalizing and making the sales that they could not make. The same thing in the months of December and November, same thing, we can debunk that myth too. The only industry that I have found so far that in the months of November and December that are absolutely slow and not worth doing business in was in the real estate industry. Other than that, we have not found any other things that we have done on and off line that is affected by the time of year. As a matter, of fact we have seen companies break sales records all year round just in December. <br /><br /> We have done many sales in November and December, even right on the holiday, it does not matter, right on Christmas Day, does not matter. So whenever you hear somebody say something that is potentially - - I mean they are not going to come out and say it is a myth, they are just going to say it is, instead of just believing it is a fact, either go get the facts, or prove it wrong, or ask them how or what proof they have. I want solid proof. And even if they do give you solid proof, try it yourself. There are a lot of things that are lost in the world just because a person believes what they hear. Same thing in politics and other areas and that is because people do not look into the different areas and the actual facts. So do your own research and be thorough about it. <br /><br /> Here is something to think about. How does someone make so many sales when other people are talking about how saturated a field is?   <bio>Are You Prepared To Instantly Plug-in To A Power House Marketing System: Contact George Collins <a href="http://smallbusinesspractice.com" >http://smallbusinesspractice.com</a> Email George Collins <a href="http://georgecollins.com" >http://georgecollins.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The last 10 years we have been overwhelmed by the get-rich-quick schemes on the internet. The variety is huge but they do have some common principles. They <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/promise" rel="tag">promise</a> you less or no effort and spend nothing and gain gazillion dollars in a month. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth" rel="tag">Myth</a> 1: Buy this "<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/super+magic" rel="tag">Super Magic</a>" software and you will become an internet millionaire overnight. <br /><br /> Although there are great software titles out there that can automate your business, there is no such a thing like <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/magic+software" rel="tag">Magic software</a> that does everything. You can find software saving you time or even money but you will never find software doing everything. <br /><br /> Myth 2: I make 35.000$ per month! <br /><br /> It's true, people who make that income exist and maybe more. But what they don't tell you is how much they spend in order to make those amounts of money. Don't believe anyone of them, promise you that by spending 10$ you will achieve those numbers. A good example is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/google+adwords" rel="tag">Google Adwords</a>. <br /><br /> You see those sales letters and the photos with proof of making 600$ per day? Did they also show you the advertising costs? Sure, spending 1000$ per day on Adwords, with careful planning, can make 1600 per day. The tiny detail is this: can you afford spending 1000$ per day (30.000$ per month)? <br /><br /> Myth 3: Become Rich with other people's efforts. <br /><br /> This refers to MLM and similar techniques. You shouldn't contemn <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/multilevel+marketing" rel="tag">multilevel marketing</a> completely. There are serious <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mlm+companies" rel="tag">MLM companies</a> that have been expanded on that way. Some universities also teach MLM. But when someone promises the earth by making downlines only and not focusing on the products and how to market them, stay away. <br /><br /> Do you honestly believe that you will find 3 business partners becoming your downline and each one of them will bring a thousand referrals with you doing nothing? It will Not Happen. <br /><br /> Myth 4: Work only 10 minutes per day! <br /><br /> I wish this could be real. We should believe in the saying "work smarter not harder" but there is huge misunderstanding on that. Even the most successful online entrepreneurs , before they reach the ideal lifestyle working few hours per day, they came across the path of working endless hours , spending and loosing money , testing and retesting , failing . There is no shortcut to this. PERIOD. <br /><br /> Myth 5: I make 50.000$ per month. Buy my 19.95$ "Super Magic Secret E-book" <br /><br /> Isn't that obvious? Doesn't it ring the bell? If you had that "50.000$ Super Secret" would you share it with the whole internet world and actually charge it so cheap? Get Real. It's 100% certain that you will find the same recycled information with other 500 similar resources. <br /><br /> Myth 6: Buy 5.000.000 email addresses CD. Only 99$! <br /><br /> Be Careful. This is SPAM. Have no doubt about it. Don't even think of purchasing this. Those emails have been extracted without the email owners consent. You will not make a dime and you will loose your website and internet connection and maybe more with the new strict antispam laws. <br /><br /> Myth 7: Sign to 50 Auto Hits Generation websites and Get 20.000 visitors per day. <br /><br /> There is another saying for that: "Garbage in -- Garbage out". Think for a while, if you are using this web traffic generation method what stops other webmasters do the same? You will not watch at the sites automatically reloaded and obviously you will be doing something else during that time. <br /><br /> So, you think you are the only one who thought about that? No you are not.   <bio>Christos Varsamis is an Internet Marketer and Affiliate Marketing Specialist.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you're a woman and you're experiencing some reproductive difficulty, or if you've been diagnosed as infertile by your obstetrician or gynecologist, you need to know what the facts are versus the myths when it comes to what causes fe<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/male+infertility" rel="tag">male infertility</a>. It will help you if you know the facts instead of believing in half-truths or absolute misinformation. Once you have the real facts, you can decide what to do about them. <br /><br /> There are 3 very <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/common+myths" rel="tag">common myths</a> as to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/causes+of+female+infertility" rel="tag">causes of female infertility</a>. Let's dispel them here. <br /><br /> Myth #1: Your infertility is "all in your head" <br /><br /> This myth is a common one, in part because it is true that couples often have dealt with infertility and then eventually have become pregnant on their own. Some have said that this is because many reproductive problems are stress related or that a couple is overly focused on becoming pregnant. It's true that stress and other things can contribute to female infertility, but it's certainly not the only cause, and is not the most common one. <br /><br /> Advances in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/modern+medicine" rel="tag">modern medicine</a> over the past several decades have been able to pinpoint and often treat both male infertility and female infertility. Indeed, modern medicine can find and treat even the most minute of causes that even a few years ago could not be determined. However, the "it's all in your head" myth continues to persist in that it's often thought that failure to become pregnant is a mental hurdle to overcome rather than a physical one, for the most part. Nonetheless, physical causes for either the man or woman are the most common reason for not becoming pregnant. <br /><br /> Myth #2: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/miscarriage+causes" rel="tag">Miscarriage causes</a> female infertility <br /><br /> First of all, you must remember that most <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/miscarriages" rel="tag">miscarriages</a> are not the fault of the woman whatsoever. Most miscarriages in fact are not caused by overwork or any other "controllable" stress or strain. In fact, most doctors see miscarriage as a symptom, not the problem itself. Such things as environmental toxins, radiation, hormonal problems, abnormalities of the uterus, for example, cause many miscarriages, as does something called an "incompetent" cervix, or other pre-existing medical conditions. Still other miscarriages have no cause that can be found if the miscarriage happens very early in pregnancy, but it is simply assumed that there is some sort of fetal abnormality that made it impossible for the fetus to survive. In short, miscarriage itself is not a symptom of infertility, since "infertile" means the woman cannot become pregnant at all. With miscarriage, the woman has no difficulty becoming pregnant, but if miscarriage is common problem, it is a symptom of some other difficulty. <br /><br /> Myth #3: If you've already had at least one child by "natural" means, you're not infertile <br /><br /> Indeed, parents who have had at least one child can become infertile thereafter. This is called secondary infertility. In some cases, female infertility difficulties don't manifest until after the birth of a least one child. <br /><br /> If you're a woman who has difficulty with any of these issues, you should address them directly with your doctor and only your doctor. If you feel you're not getting straight information, get a second opinion and/or consult a specialist. However, simply relying on myth alone is not going to solve your problems for you and will only help ensure that they continue.   <bio>Allen James is dedicated to helping couples experience the miracle of childbirth.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The different <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acne+myths" rel="tag">acne myths</a> have been misleading a lot of people for several generations already. Most of the time, these myths come from hearsays from family, friends, and other people surrounding you. Starting your journey towards being acne free should involve knowing these myths in order to avoid putting them into practice. This newly found knowledge will increase your chances of treating your acne using proper skin care methods instead of relying on hearsays that are not medically proven.<br><br>Having acne means you're dirty and don't wash frequently. This is the first myth and it is entirely untrue. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/blackheads+and+whiteheads" rel="tag">Blackheads and whiteheads</a>, which are symptoms of acne, are thought to be dirt present on the pores but they're not. Blackheads get their color from oxidation of the excess <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+pigment" rel="tag">skin pigment</a> when your pores are open. Whiteheads are typically the same as blackheads however the pores were not open during the presence of excess skin pigment on your pores thus eliminating the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/oxidation+process" rel="tag">oxidation process</a>.<br><br>The second myth about acne entails that washing your face a lot will help get rid of acne. This is another false belief because acne is not caused by poor hygiene. There are a lot of television commercials promoting that some impurities block your pores thus leading to blackheads, whiteheads, and even pimples. This is not true. Washing your face too much will actually irritate your skin and clog up your pores in the process.<br><br>Another unbelievable myth indicates that acne is contagious. This is entirely false because there's no way you can catch acne from someone you have interacted with. In the old days, people believe that having sex and masturbation will cause acne. In reality, they only made up this myth to discourage young people in participating in these activities.<br><br>Unproven acne myths include linking diet to the direct <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cause+of+acne" rel="tag">cause of acne</a>. The truth is diet does not directly interconnect with acne however diet filled with so many fatty and oily foods can cause your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/oil+glands" rel="tag">oil glands</a> to produce <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/excessive+oils" rel="tag">excessive oils</a>. An oily skin is more prone to developing acne problems. Diet may not have direct cause to acne development but it is still a good idea to keep a balance diet not only for your skin but also for the other systems in your body.<br><br>A lot of people think that you can achieve an acne free skin by tanning. Tanning your skin will just mask your acne because a darkened skin makes acne less noticeable but this does not mean you are acne free. Other people even thought that wearing make-up can cause acne. Make-up can only cause acne if you do not take it off properly at the end of the day. If you have sensitive skin, you should think about choosing non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic make-up products for your skin.<br><br>Another acne myth implicates that popping your zits or pimples will help them heal faster. This myth causes the opposite of what is intended. What happens is that the germs and bacteria will go further deep in the skin when the pimples' are squeezed. Because of this, instead of being acne free, you'll be experiencing more outbreaks of pimples.<bio>Skincare, acne and health expert.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are several myths that circulate about SEO (<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/search+engine+optimization" rel="tag">search engine optimization</a>) in general that have persisted for years. Unfortunately these myths consist of bad advice that could have you wasting your time and money and result in not making much of a profit of all. <br /><br /> Myth #1. "The more search engine optimized terms you have on a page the more money you will make." Unfortunately the more SEO keywords you have on your page the more traffic you are likely to draw but it is likely to be just surfers not real buyers. Furthermore a search engine could penalize you for what is called "keyword stuffing." <br /><br /> Myth #2. "You have to be inethical to make a profit using <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/search+engine+techniques" rel="tag">search engine techniques</a> on the Internet." There are probably more honest people using search engine <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/optimization+techniques" rel="tag">optimization techniques</a> to sell their products and services then dishonest ones. You can add SEO all you want to a site but if there is a basic problem with your business plan or equation then no short cut in the world will solve it. Usually the web sites that sell the most are sticking to the simple equation that has worked for salespeople for centuries -- "The sell a product they believe in that does exactly what you promise it will for a low affordable price." <br /><br /> Myth #3. "You have to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/spend+money" rel="tag">spend money</a> to make money using search engine optimization techniques." Using SEO to make a living is the same as any other occupation. You only succeed as much as you are willing to put into it. However the good news here is that throwing money at programs, software and other gizmos is not what is required to be a successful merchant or affiliate marketer who uses SEO. All it really takes is time and talent, which can pay off in spades if you are talented.   <bio>Chris Angus is a SEO and website promoter, he can be contacted at sales(at)brilliantseo.com <a href="http://www.chooseinsurance.co.uk" >http://www.chooseinsurance.co.uk</a> <a href="http://www.mobility-direct.co.uk" >http://www.mobility-direct.co.uk</a> <a href="http://www.illustratemyname.com" >http://www.illustratemyname.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/credit+myths" rel="tag">Credit Myths</a> <br /><br /> Like they say, "Knowledge is power." <br /><br /> Many times people either act on false information or fail to act because they didn't know what could be done to their benefit. <br /><br /> This is the case in many areas of life, but on the top of that list is money. And in the money category, you will find lots of misinformation about credit. <br /><br /> There is so much to talk about on the topic of credit myths that an entire book could be dedicated to it. <br /><br /> Let us start with the granddaddy of all credit myths. <br /><br /> Myth 1: If I <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cosign" rel="tag">cosign</a> a loan for my friend, it has no affect on my credit. <br /><br /> Fact: When you cosign a loan, it's like you took the loan on your own! It may be true that your friend is the first one responsible for the loan, however, if they default, it's completely your problem. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth+2" rel="tag">Myth 2</a>: There's nothing I can do about it now. My credit is destroyed forever! <br /><br /> Fact: As long as you work, starting today, to rebuild your credit, you'll eventually get it under control. Rebuilding your credit means: (1) Paying on time; (2) Looking for better credit options; and (3) Learning more about money and credit. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth+3" rel="tag">Myth 3</a>: I'm a complete financial <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/loser" rel="tag">loser</a> for getting myself into this mess. <br /><br /> Fact: It may be true that you're responsible for getting into debt, but that doesn't make you a loser. In fact, it may not be your fault at all. As long as you start working on becoming more knowledgeable when it comes to finances, you will ultimately find success in controlling your debt. <br /><br /> Myth 4: It's fine to give out my credit card number for identification as long as I don't authorize a charge. <br /><br /> Fact: NEVER give out your information as a form of identification. When it comes to giving out any personal information, be sure you know exactly with whom you're speaking. This is especially true with someone on the phone. <br /><br /> Myth 5: If I get in debt too deep, I can just file for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bankruptcy+protection" rel="tag">bankruptcy protection</a>. <br /><br /> Fact: The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bankruptcy+laws" rel="tag">bankruptcy laws</a> are changing to make it more difficult to eliminate all your debt in a bankruptcy, so you may end up paying much of it back anyway. <br /><br /> It will also be on your credit report for 10 years! Hey, if you have NO OTHER OPTIONS, then you should certainly investigate bankruptcy. However, it's much better to settle the debts if you can <br /><br /> Credit card companies want you to be in debt because it maximizes their profits. Credit is much more than a piece of plastic, and the resources in this booklet can help you become a more informed consumer. <br /><br /> Creditors report at all different times of the month, therefore your score can change whenever your credit report changes. <br /><br /> In order to understand why many credit myths aren't true, it's important to understand exactly what credit is in the first place. <br /><br /> Learn More Credit Myths and Facts If you get offers in the mail does this mean you afford more credit.   <bio>The Author Leonel Avalos has <a href="http://getcreditsavy.com" >http://getcreditsavy.com</a> a firm devoted to informational Websites, including <a href="http://credit-repair-ez.blogspot.com" >http://credit-repair-ez.blogspot.com</a> Where you can find up to date free Credit related material.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Many years ago when I was a teenager I was known as the Acne Boy. Those days where horrible as you can imagine. My face was like a mine field with lots of black and white heads ready to blow up. I remember it was a very difficult time to get to know other people, especially the cool girls. I always hoped that one day a solution for my problem would surface that would help me get rid of my acne for good. <br /><br /> All the traditional <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myth" rel="tag">myth</a>s about acne did not help me at all. My mother and father and other family members really believed that my acne was a result of eating <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/junk+food" rel="tag">junk food</a> on a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/daily+basis" rel="tag">daily basis</a>. I must admit that I do have a weak spot when it comes to eating <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fast+food" rel="tag">fast food</a> but I <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/definitely" rel="tag">definitely</a> don't eat it everyday. <br /><br /> Therefore I wasn't so sure that eating this food was the main cause of my <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acne+problem" rel="tag">acne problem</a>. Many of my friends snacked away the same food I did. Some ate even more frequently but they hardly had any acne. Something had to be wrong with this old and popular belief right? <br /><br /> I had seen the myth being shattered right in front of my eyes. Yet another myth I hear a lot of people talk about is the chocolate myth. Since I'm a big fan chocolate, I really thought about giving it up, even at the risk of remaining the acne boy. But having read up and followed news and medical reports on the subject, I discovered to my huge relief that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/eating+chocolate" rel="tag">eating chocolate</a> had nothing to do with acne. <br /><br /> Those of you who are not familiar with the latest information on Acne now have at least a basic understanding. But there's more to come. <br /><br /> My friends were not much of a help either when I needed them the most. My friends hinted often with stupid sarcasm. They once told me that my acne face was the result of my computer addiction. It didn't need much thought to conclude this was also a myth. <br /><br /> Another myth that I did believe, and which sounded truly genuine and even scientific at that point in time was the assumption that acne was a result of dirt accumulation on the pores of ones face. I never stopped to consider that if that was the case, why wasn't the skin on my arms and legs, which were more in contact with dirt and grime than any other part of my body, covered with acne? <br /><br /> I remember clearly that I spent several months assiduously washing my face with all kinds of soaps and anti acne creams in a quest to get rid of my acne. I did all of this with no effect of course. At one point in my life I changed my attitude and concluded that the more I focused myself on my acne the longer they would remain. <br /><br /> Exactly at that point I made the decision to stop bothering myself about my acne filled face. And guess what happened? A couple of years later when I grew out of my adolescence, the acne disappeared on it's own like magic. Today my face is very clear and radiant and I love it! <br /><br /> That's how things stand right now. Keep in mind that any condition can change over time; sometimes all you need to do is give it a little more time.   <bio>Bill Johnson - Natural Skin Care <a href="http://skin-health-magazine.com" >http://skin-health-magazine.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>
