    <content:encoded><![CDATA[1. Transactions <br /><br /> Transactions rarely go as efficiently as you would like them to. The process is usually much more complex and every <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/property+investment" rel="tag">property investment</a> is unique. You can find out some information on property <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/investment+advice" rel="tag">investment advice</a> below. <br /><br /> 2. Assume the Loan <br /><br /> Assumption allows you to save for property upkeep. If you get an assumption you have to pay 1% of the total loan value for assuming the loan and your finances need to be approved by the lender. Whats even better is that the financial institution knows the property. Moreover, on long-term loans, you dont have to start the amortization process immediately. By picking up where the previous owner left off, a higher percentage of the monthly payment can be used for amortization, rather than interest. This way, you can build equity faster than if you got a new loan instead. <br /><br /> 3. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/trust+deed" rel="tag">Trust Deed</a> Financing <br /><br /> There are situations when the lender may not allow you to assume the loan or the seller already owns the property. In this case, the seller can use a trust deed, allowing you to make a lower down payment and setting more flexible terms. If the situation allows you to follow this bit of property investment advice, you can benefit from a lower transaction costs and you have the chance to for lower interest costs as well. <br /><br /> 4. Contract Financing <br /><br /> The seller can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/entwine" rel="tag">entwine</a> new and old loans. You usually have to ask the loan-holders permission for an assumption. You also have to thoroughly examine the acceleration clause and check if wrap financing is possible. Contract financing allows the original loan with a low interest to stay in place, while new financing from the seller is added on. <br /><br /> This property investment advice is useful only for those people who have some extra money they could use to buy a new loan in case the original one is called. Collection companies can be <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beneficial" rel="tag">beneficial</a> to those involved.  <bio>For more great Investment related articles and resources check out <a href="http://123futures.info" >http://123futures.info</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mexican+insurance" rel="tag">Mexican Insurance</a> Store has issued a report on the top legal and insurance related problems experienced while driving on vacation in Mexico. Unlike the law in the U.S., in Mexico the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/assumption" rel="tag">assumption</a> of guilt prevails over the assumption of innocence. The penalties for not having insurance while <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/traveling+in+mexico" rel="tag">traveling in Mexico</a> can be severe. <br /><br /> Mexican Insurance Store has issued a report on the top legal and insurance related problems experienced while driving on vacation in Mexico. Unlike the law in the U.S., in Mexico the assumption of guilt prevails over the assumption of innocence. The penalties for not having insurance while traveling in Mexico can be severe. <br /><br /> Common Legal / Insurance Problems: <br /><br /> 1. Not Having Mexican Insurance. <br /><br /> U.S. and Canadian auto insurance is NOT recognized in Mexico. Vacationers that don't have Auto Insurance in Mexico and have an accident may spend many hours or days in jail and have their vehicle confiscated. <br /><br /> 2. Buying Insurance with services that are NOT Valid in Rural Areas <br /><br /> Some services have fine print that says that they are provided in only "the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/major+cities+of+mexico" rel="tag">major <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cities+of+mexico" rel="tag">cities of Mexico</a></a>". Most of Mexico is rural and many vacationers travel far from major cities. It is important to read the fine print of the insurance contract. <br /><br /> 3. Not Having Mexican Emergency Medical Assistance Coverage <br /><br /> Most U.S. health insurance is not valid in Mexico. <br /><br /> 4. Not Having Insurance for Friends and Family <br /><br /> Don't forget to get coverage for your traveling companions. <br /><br /> Mexican Insurance Store offers a package deal that includes insurance needed while traveling in Mexico. <br /><br /> - Auto Insurance with services good in cities and rural areas. <br /><br /> - A minimum US $20,000 in Legal Assistance and Bail Bond. <br /><br /> Additional information: <br /><br /> All claims must be reported to an authorized insurance adjuster or claims service center before leaving Mexico. Failing to do so subjects the claim to denial by the Mexican insurance company. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mexico+auto+insurance" rel="tag">Mexico auto insurance</a> policies are null and void if the driver responsible for an accident is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. <br /><br /> We recommend purchasing electronic policies which reach insurance companies more quickly. "Paper generated" policies often take days to reach Mexico before any official document is available to your Insurance Company. Claims are handled more efficiently using this process. <br /><br /> Many paper generated policies sold in Mexico and the USA also come with additional add-on fees.   <bio>The director of Mexican Insurance <a href="http://Store.com" >http://Store.com</a>, Linden H. Gray, has over 29 years retail, wholesale, and direct insurance experience. Visit his website here for more information about Mexican Insurance.   </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The answer to being able to find your passport to wealth online is... <br /><br /> "Big Ticket" items. <br /><br /> If you don't know what those are yet, hold on, I will fill you in. First, something has to be addressed so that you really understand the power of "Big Ticket" items and why they are your ticket to producing a large <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/amount+of+money" rel="tag">amount of money</a> online very quickly. <br /><br /> You are with almost 100% certainty making a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/false+assumption" rel="tag">false assumption</a> about making money online that is derailing your chances to ever make a substantial amount of money. Before you hear what the false assumption is, answer the following question... <br /><br /> Would you rather make 100 Sales to make $1,000 online, or would you rather make just a single sale to produce that same $1,000 income? <br /><br /> It's not a trick question. The answer is meant to be totally obvious. <br /><br /> Of course you should only want to make one sale as opposed to 100 to earn $1,000. <br /><br /> So why is it that so many people are wasting their time trying to market products, ebooks, opportunities etc. that pay them tiny commissions? I will tell you why, because there is a giant false assumption floating around in regards to being able to make quick <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/easy+money" rel="tag">easy money</a> online. The false assumption.... <br /><br /> It is easier to produce a $10 sale than it is to produce a $1,000 sale. <br /><br /> If you think that way, do yourself a favor and erase that thought from your mind forever. Locate that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/trash+can" rel="tag">trash can</a> within your brain, wad that statement up, set it on fire, and dump it's ashes into the trash. <br /><br /> The absolute truth is that it takes just as much time, effort and money to produce a $10 sale as it does to produce a $1,000 sale. <br /><br /> Read that sentence two or three times and let it sink in. Then ask yourself this... <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/what+the+heck" rel="tag">What the heck</a> and I doing trying to sell $10 products, or even $100 products or opportunities when I could with the same effort be making just as many $1,000 sales? <br /><br /> What defines a "Big Ticket" item. That differs depending on who you ask, but in the opinion of most marketing experts, it is a product that makes you a commission of at or around $1,000. Why $1,000? Because that seems to be the threshold of what people are willing to spend pretty freely to join an opportunity or business. If it is more, it does in fact get harder to make sales. If it is less, you are selling yourself short. <br /><br /> Traditional compensation plans whether they be mlm, powerline, or some crazy combination of both require hundreds, even thousands of sales to produce a $5,000 monthly income. Plus, and this is industry standard statistics, most of the people you bring in will quit before 90 days requiring you to be constantly adding members to your team. Does that seem very quick or easy to you? <br /><br /> Big ticket compensation plans however could produce that amount of money with 5 sales or less depending on the structure of the compensation plan. Now that seems a heck of a lot quicker and easier to me.   <bio>Nick Bramble specializes in teaching people the advantages of making large monthly incomes online through the marketing of big ticket, highly automated opportunities.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/coin+price" rel="tag">coin price</a> guides published; weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and annually. They come in the form of magazines, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/newsprint" rel="tag">newsprint</a>, "<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hot+sheets" rel="tag">hot sheets</a>", and books. All of us have referred to one of these from time to time to ascertain what a particular coin might be worth. Yet, few of us stop to think about what we are getting from any one of these Price Guides, beyond the price or value of a coin. After all, don't price guides, just give you the price? What else is there? <br /><br /> Basic to an understanding of price guides are two things: 1) the Grade of the Coin; and 2) the Foundation of the price guide.<br /><br />Knowing the Grade of the Coin is required before one can begin. Saying so seems to be obvious, but what more does it mean? <br /><br /> Unless the coin is Graded by an appropriate Professional <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/grading+company" rel="tag">Grading Company</a>, which has designated what Grade and Identity has been assigned to the coin, most of us are making an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/assumption" rel="tag">assumption</a> about the actual Grade. This assumption we make can be very dangerous because of: a) the difficulty in grading a coin; and, b) the different possible outcomes or results that occur. One Grade "point" or level can make the difference in hundreds or thousands of dollars in the Value of a Coin. <br /><br /> Price Guides assume that YOU already Know the Grade of the Coin. This is why we have the First Rule of Coin Collecting: Know the Grade of Your Coin. <br /><br /> Secondly, ALL Price Guides are founded on the same Principle, which is that the Coin, whose price you are looking up, has been Graded using one Grading Standard. That Grading Standard is set by the ANA =96 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/american+numismatic+association" rel="tag">American Numismatic Association</a> =96 and is entitled the Official Grading Standards For US Coins. <br /><br /> Therefore, ALL Price Guides have a "silent assumption" built in to their guide; which is that the Grade that YOU decide upon, is the True or Accurate, and that such Grade is based on the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ana+standards" rel="tag">ANA Standards</a>. <br /><br /> The first difficulty that arises is that most people never know if the Grade that they have decided upon is Accurate. Of course, this difficulty never comes into question, if the coin is Professionally Graded by an appropriate company. There are only four (4) reputable Professional Grading companies that strictly follow the Guidelines set by the ANA, and they are: PCGS, NCG, ICG, and ANACS. <br /><br /> The second difficulty arises because of this "silent assumption" or Foundation of all price guides is whether or not the Grade has been decided upon using the Guidelines or Standards established by the ANA. If you don't have the skills and training of a professional coin grader, the decision is probably questionable. <br /><br /> Even if you do have the skills and training of a professional coin grader, the decision is still probably questionable. Why? Because even professional coin graders have differing opinions.  This is why the reputable professional coin grading companies require the opinions of three (3) professional coin graders to arrive at the "Grade" designation to be placed on every coin. <br /><br /> The obvious conclusion is that a Serious Coin Collector is going to invest in rare and modern coins that are graded by one of the Top Four reputable Grading companies. It is the only certain way to eliminate the disagreements and arguments about the Grade of Any coin being Bought or Sold! It is the only certain way one can Value their coin collection. It also eliminates "getting taken" or cheated buying raw coins. <br /><br /> Have fun collecting your Perfect Coins! <br /><br /> Robert L Taylor, JD  Copyright 2006, Robert L Taylor, JD   <bio>Robert Taylor is a retired Lawyer, from Denver, CO, and who has had a passion for collecting US coins, since the age of 6.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world." ~Buddha <br /><br /> This exercise may feel a little New Agey, but indulge me a moment and you might just find that even esoteric information can help with your sales and in gaining rapport with your affluent prospects and clients. <br /><br /> Imagine this: everything in the universe vibrates. Everything does. The next step in sales is to imagine your prospect vibrating. In your mind, imagine the speed at which they're vibrating. Now feel/imagine the speed at which you are vibrating. All you have to do to get 'pacing' down is to now mesh those <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/two+speeds" rel="tag">two speeds</a> so that you vibrate at their speed. <br /><br /> You can then move the combined <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vibration" rel="tag">vibration</a>s up or down, wherever you want them to be. This is 'leading'. <br /><br /> Is this a mental construct? Yes. It sure is. But does that mean it's not really happening as well? No. Not at all. It means that you don't really have to feel the vibration, but have the model of it in your mind. <br /><br /> Look at your prospect as if they are vibrating and then watch for any <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rhythm" rel="tag">rhythm</a>ic+movements" rel="tag">rhythmic movements</a> they might be making. Are they tapping their foot? Shaking their leg? Rocking back and forth? <br /><br /> Here are a few things you can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pay+attention" rel="tag">pay attention</a> to make the rhythm more easily understandable. . . <br /><br /> Pay attention to how they're breathing. Is it located high in their chest, or low in their belly? <br /><br /> All you have to do is be open to the idea that can sense this and use it to influence. <br /><br /> If I were to say to you, 'Close your eyes and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/take+a+deep+breath" rel="tag">take a deep breath</a>', your rhythm would probably begin to slow down. <br /><br /> Your first <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/assumption" rel="tag">assumption</a> was an altered state. Your vibration changed because your assumption changed. <br /><br /> Now simply imagine your vibration increasing, moving faster, faster, speeding up. <br /><br /> What direction is it traveling? Some people experience theirs as going around in circles, others feel it goes up and down, or back and forth. <br /><br /> Now move faster. Expand it. <br /><br /> How does it feel when you speed up? What difference do you feel vibrating fast and vibrating slow? <br /><br /> In knowing that difference, you can begin to adjust to your affluent prospects in any given situation. By doing this, you gain a deeper rapport in addition to being able to get them to go where you want.   <bio>Kenrick Cleveland teaches techniques to earn the business of affluent clients using persuasion.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Many people are choosing to operate a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+based+business" rel="tag">home based business</a> these days; only most do not understand what it fully involves. It is a good idea to have as many of the facts as possible before you decide to embark on this type of opportunity. Many people are under the assumption that a home based business is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/easy+money" rel="tag">easy money</a> and will provide them with plenty of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/time+off" rel="tag">time off</a> and a high income. While these can both be true many people tend to over look the high demand of a home based business. <br /><br /> If you are a person that is considering a home based business you will need to make a clear evaluation of your life style, your desires for the business, as well as the amount of time and effort you have to devoting to a business. No <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/matter+what+type" rel="tag">matter what type</a> of business you want to own you will be required to put in many hours into this business to make it profitable. Knowing your desires will help you to have a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/profitable+business" rel="tag">profitable business</a>. This means you need to have a clear plan on where you want your business to be in five years. How much do you want to be making in a year? How much time do you have to invest in your business? These are all questions that should be asked of yourself and answered honestly. <br /><br /> Often people get the assumption that a home based business is easier to run and that you can make a lot of money with very little effort. It is very rare to find a business that is going to make you money with out you putting work into the job. Finding a business that makes you happy can give you a great sense of satisfaction and can give you the feeling that you are not really working. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/owning+your+own+business" rel="tag">Owning your own business</a> takes a lot of dedication to the project at hand, it can be a very trying experience for many new business owners. Being dedicated to your business will help it take off quicker, bringing in more money and allowing you to have more time off. In the beginning you may put in more hours getting your business underway then you did working your nine to five job. You may need to sacrifice extra hours that normally would have been spent with friends or family, or you may have to make financial cut backs in order to save the money needed to get your business off the ground. All internet businesses require some money to invest in them. The investment greatly depends on the type business you want to own and run as well as what kind of marketing you will be doing for your business. This of course means that you will need to have some knowledge of how to market your business. What kind of advertising is best used and how do you go about getting people to buy your product? <br /><br /> By understanding that your home based business is not an easy job but a lot of hard work you can turn your life into one that you can have more control over.   <bio>Dustin Cannon, of Next Level Enterprises, LLC is a successful Internet marketer working with top leaders in the home business and Internet marketing industry.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Is the day upon us when we need to vote reform family courts to support shared parenting? It's a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sad+day" rel="tag">sad day</a> when the parent who places the best interests of the child first-loses in court! <br /><br /> Many times their loss comes about only because they don't know how to make their best case. And their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/attorneys" rel="tag">attorneys</a> are just as bad! <br /><br /> Two <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/child+custody+lawyers" rel="tag">child custody lawyers</a> with over 30 years each in the child custody field have combined their decades of experience to produce the awesome book "2006 Custody Strategies." <br /><br /> They have been expert witnesses, custody evaluators and consultants. These two authors are also editors of a national publication on custody matters. They have stuffed a tremendous amount of information into this book. <br /><br /> A few of the chapters are, "Most frequently Made Error." The authors have expressed shock that even attorneys who are caught up in custody battles themselves don't know this single most important fact. They call it the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/best+kept+secret" rel="tag">best kept secret</a> in the world. <br /><br /> Another chapter, "The Single Biggest <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/false+assumption" rel="tag">False Assumption</a>," zeroes in on a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/crucial" rel="tag">crucial</a> assumption that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/all+and+sundry" rel="tag">all and sundry</a> run after as if in thrall of some Merlin. <br /><br /> Would you like to know 14 strategies that you can use in order to make a strong case for yourself? Of course you would. Strategy #1... you'll have to get the book! <br /><br /> It is a travesty when a child is manipulated and brainwashed into turning against the other parent. It is truly a sad day when this happens. The authors have included a brilliant chapter called, "The Bribed Or Manipulated Child." <br /><br /> If you believe that an evaluation was biased, or maybe even incomplete or just downright inaccurate, what can you do? They have included an excellent chapter on this very thing. <br /><br /> Are your funds tight? Are you cutting it close to the bone? Don't worry, you're not alone, trust me! They even have a wonderful chapter on the costs you can expect. And how to control them. <br /><br /> The authors have included what I believe to be the best bonus ever! We live in an ever changing world. Laws are enacted, policies are done away with and a new way of doing things is adopted. <br /><br /> They review and update whenever necessary. And those updates are free. When you purchase this book you are always current and up to date! That alone is worth the price of the book.   <bio>If you are embroiled in a custody battle, or you anticipate one on the horizon, vote reform family courts to support shared parenting. Don't consider the purchase of this book as a cost. It's an investment! An investment in your child's future. Don't leave your child's future hanging on a silly mistake you may have made.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Guns have always been a sure way to protect yourself and your home, although things have changed quite a bit over the years. Even though those who live in the United States have a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/right+to+bear+arms" rel="tag">right to bear arms</a>, there are also certain responsibilities that come along as well. Those who own guns have the responsibility of protecting their home and their family - and also their guns. Anyone who owns a gun may have self protection in mind - although he also has a priority to protect his guns as well <a href="http://www.NewPalmHome.org" >http://www.NewPalmHome.org</a> <br /><br /> Anyone who owns a guns should never allow them to fall into someone else's hands. To ensure this never happens, the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gun+owner" rel="tag">gun owner</a> should always keep his <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gun+collection" rel="tag">gun collection</a> locked away in a safe or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gun+cabinet" rel="tag">gun cabinet</a>. You can get many different sizes of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gun+safes" rel="tag">gun safes</a>, that will hold a variable amount of guns. Anything can happen if the wrong individual gets a hold of your guns, which is why you should always make sure that they are well protected - and locked up. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gun+owners" rel="tag">Gun owners</a> can protect their own property as well, by storing their guns in fireproof gun safes. Fireproof gun safes can protect guns and keep them safe, even if everything else burns to the ground. Even though gun owners have the responsibility to keep their guns out of the reach of others, they also have the right to ensure that no harm comes to their guns as well. <br /><br /> Fireproof guns safes will also keep guns safe from children as well. All children are curious, and like to get their hands on anything they can. If you leave your guns lying around and not locked up, a child will eventually find it. You should also ensure that your guns are never loaded either, as a child can really hurt himself if he finds a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/loaded+gun" rel="tag">loaded gun</a>. Although you may keep your guns locked up in a fireproof safe - you should also make sure that the ammo is out of the guns and locked away in the safe as well. <br /><br /> Keep in mind that children may look for your gun on purpose, knowing that the guns are something that you use. Therefore, simply putting your guns on a higher shelf doesn't really protect your children. If a child wants something bad enough, he or she will do anything possible to get it. The only real way to keep your guns safe from children is to ensure that they are always locked up in fireproof safe or traditional gun safe. <br /><br /> Children may show interest in guns at an early age, which can be a good thing but can also be a bad thing. At a young age, a child won't know anything about gun safety. Therefore, if a child happens to come across your guns, bad things can happen. If you have guns if your home, you should always make a point to teach your children gun safety. This way, they will know that they aren't allowed to handle your guns, and they'll be aware of what can happen if they do. <br /><br /> By keeping your guns in a fireproof safe or traditional gun safe, you'll keep your guns safe from children or others. Fireproof safes will also keep your guns safe from fire as well, which makes them an ideal investment. Although you can also get a traditional gun safe if you prefer, fireproof safes are by far the best way to go. You can keep your guns safe from children, others, and even fire - which makes them more than worth the money.   <bio><a href="http://www.HomeAgentsMortgage.org" >http://www.HomeAgentsMortgage.org</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is a question that gets asked all the time by many different people. When you look at the different types of ink available on the market today and compare them to the papers that are available on the market today, you will notice right away that a lot of companies manufacture both. HP, Epson and a number of other well known companies are in the business of creating both ink and paper for their printers. <br /><br /> Now, a number of people will go even further to notice that when you are looking at the prices of different products, some products for one company might be cheaper and others more expensive. This might lead people to buy a combination across companies; <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hp+ink" rel="tag">HP ink</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/epson+printing" rel="tag">Epson printing</a> paper for example. Some people however, say that buying two things from the same company (i.e. buying both printer ink and paper from HP) will result in a higher quality print of what they are after; the question really becomes, are they right in making that assumption? <br /><br /> Well, the short answer is that yes indeed they are correct in making that assumption. The longer answer considers a number of factors that are inherently better for people that are looking to buy both printing paper and printing ink from the same company; a company such as HP. <br /><br /> The first factor to consider is the factor that is scientifically referred to as adhesion. Just because both Epson and HP make a glossy printing paper doesn't mean that the chemical components that create that glossy surface are the same in both Epson and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hp+paper" rel="tag">HP paper</a>s. Nor does this also mean that even if they are the same components, that they are present in exactly the same proportions in both sheets of glossy paper. The fact of the matter is that each company is different and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/this+also+means+that" rel="tag">this <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/also+means+that" rel="tag">also means that</a></a> HP ink will adhere better to HP paper and the same holds true for any other company that makes both products. Better adhesion will result in lower running of ink and therefore an ultimately higher quality print. <br /><br /> In addition to the adhesion factor, there is also the combination factor. Both the ink and the paper are made up of small particles known as atoms. These atoms then combine to form things called compounds and ultimately those compounds are the basis for the particles that are located in both the ink and the paper. Compounds, even if they don't end up mixing with each other and combining, might exist in the same space as each other and therefore anything about the atomic structure of one might affect the atomic structure of another. A company makes their ink to have a neutral atomic affect on the paper, which once again serves to hold everything in place and prevent things like leaking and smudging; both detriments to getting a good picture.   <bio>Ellen Davidson is a freelance editor for HP Ink Online.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Whenever you sell your home sans a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/real+estate+agent" rel="tag">real estate agent</a>, the process is known by the real estate industry as a for sale by owner, FSBO. Several reasons exist for a homeowner to sell their home on their own. For one, the homeowner can avoid paying commission to the real estate agent. In some cases, the extra few thousand dollars tacked onto the price can be the difference between a home that sells and a home that sits on the market for months at a time. <br /><br /> Idaho homeowners that choose to sell their homes using the FBSO method should familiarize themselves with the process before putting their home on the market. Homeowners should also be aware that the process will require knowledge of the market as well as dedication and persistence in selling the home. <br /><br /> The first step necessary to sell <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/real+estate+in+idaho" rel="tag">real estate in Idaho</a> is determining the value of the home. Knowing the value is necessary to determine the selling price of the home. Many homeowners do not pay enough attention to this step. Instead, they set their home price as a somewhat arbitrary number based on the price at which the home was purchases and an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/assumption" rel="tag">assumption</a> that the home <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/appreciated" rel="tag">appreciated</a> since its initial purchase. Since your home is not guaranteed to appreciate, this assumption may not be correct. More importantly, appreciation does not dictate the price of a home, the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/real+estate+market" rel="tag">real estate market</a> does. <br /><br /> The best way to price your home is to find out the selling prices of similar homes in your area that have recently been sold. These homes are the best indicator of the market value of your home. If homeowners are purchasing similar homes in your area at a certain price, you can safely assume that your home will sell for a comparable price. <br /><br /> Advertising your home is the next step after you have determined the selling price. Advertising through a FBSO website is a convenient and effective way to market your home. Using a website increases your home's exposure greater than traditional methods such as local newspapers and real estate magazines. That is not to say that you should forgo these traditional methods. Rather, you should employ all the methods at your disposal to improve the odds of selling your home. <br /><br /> You will start receiving inquiries about your Idaho home soon after you have begun your marketing efforts. Once you start receiving inquiries from prospective buyers you should be prepared to allow the buyers to view your home. It is best to prepare your house for viewing before you put it on the market. Since you never know when you are going to get the call for your first showing, it is better to be prepared than to lose a sell because you were not.  <bio>Fruzsina Csery is a freelance copy writer.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Mexican Insurance Store has issued a report on the top legal and insurance related problems experienced while driving on vacation in Mexico. Unlike the law in the U.S., in Mexico the assumption of guilt prevails over the assumption of innocence. The penalties for not having insurance while <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/traveling+in+mexico" rel="tag">traveling in Mexico</a> can be severe. <br /><br /> Common Mexican Insurance Problems: <br /><br /> 1. Not Having <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mexican+auto+insurance" rel="tag">Mexican Auto Insurance</a> <br /><br /> U.S. and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/canadian+auto+insurance" rel="tag">Canadian auto insurance</a> is NOT recognized in Mexico. Vacationers that don't have auto insurance in Mexico and have an accident may spend many hours or days in jail and have their vehicle confiscated. <br /><br /> 2. Not Having <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/emergency+medical" rel="tag">Emergency Medical</a> Assistance <br /><br /> Mexico can be a dangerous place to be without emergency medical assistance. Most U.S. health insurance is not valid in Mexico. <br /><br /> 3. Buying Auto Insurance with Emergency Medical Assistance that is NOT Valid in Rural Areas. <br /><br /> Travelers need to read the fine print in "emergency medical assistance options". In order to save money, insurance companies limit their coverage to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/major+cities+of+mexico" rel="tag">major <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cities+of+mexico" rel="tag">cities of Mexico</a></a>. Services are provided by third parties sub-contracted with the insurance company. It is important to watch for this because most of Mexico is rural and some insurance policies say they cover it, which is accurate. The broker should tell you that in rural areas, the policy actually reads, "we will do the best we can". <br /><br /> 4. Emergency Medical and Travel Assistance with a monetary limit <br /><br /> This is another area where the fine print can not be overlooked. Most policies have a low monetary limit or do not cover pre-existing conditions. Evacuation by air or land can be expensive and is not included in many policies. Costs can reach $100,000 per patient. <br /><br /> 5. Not Having Assistance Services for Friends and Family <br /><br /> Don't forget to get coverage for your traveling companions. Ask whether there are restrictions such as up to 4 passengers. <br /><br /> About <a href="http://MexicanInsuranceStore.com" >http://MexicanInsuranceStore.com</a>:  Mexican Insurance Store offers package's that include insurance policies needed while traveling in Mexico. <br /><br /> All Auto Insurance Plans should include: <br /><br /> • Emergency Medical Assistance good in cities and rural areas. <br /><br /> • Emergency Medical and Travel Assistance good for the entire family with no monetary limit and guaranteed hospital admittance. <br /><br /> • A minimum US $20,000 in Legal Assistance and Bail Bond.   <bio>The director of Mexican Insurance Store, Linden H. Gray, has over 29 years retail, wholesale, and direct insurance experience. Policies can be ordered and printed online in minutes.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Your dog is a very important part of your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/household" rel="tag">household</a> and the care that they receive is equally as important. Many pet owners wonder if <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/taking+the+time" rel="tag">taking the time</a> to put their dog through <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/obedience+train" rel="tag">obedience train</a>ing is a good idea. There are many excellent benefits to obedience training that will be <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beneficial" rel="tag">beneficial</a> to not only your dog but you and your family as well. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dog+obedience+training" rel="tag">Dog obedience training</a> can be extremely important in establishing a pack order in the household. This order should be established as you, your family and then your dog. Since dogs are pack animals the establishment of the order of the pack goes a long way in helping them feel safe and secure. Your dog needs to be one hundred percent aware that you are the top dog of the household. If a dog is under the assumption that they are the top dog of the pack it could lead to some serious problems among the other members of your family, particularly if there are children in your home. <br /><br /> Working with a qualified <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/obedience+trainer" rel="tag">obedience trainer</a> can assist a dog owner in communicating better with their dog. All too often dog owners think that their dog is stupid or just lazy because of how they respond to the commands that they are given. A quality dog trainer can assist dog owners in understanding better how their dog takes direction thus making it clear what training methods are most effective. <br /><br /> Studies have shown that a huge portion of dogs that are put to sleep have not had any type of obedience training. Taking the time to obedience train a dog can help ensure a happy and healthy existence between a dog and their owner. <br /><br /> Having a well-trained dog can save its life. Should your dog get away from you on a trip somewhere it being <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/well+trained" rel="tag">well trained</a> can stop it from running out into traffic for example. <br /><br /> A happy healthy well-trained dog can be taken just about anywhere. You do not have to worry about sending a dog outside when you have company over. You can take your dog for a walk down the street without having to worry about them misbehaving.<br /><br /><br /><br /> So when you are trying to decide whether or not obedience training would be a good option for the family dog keep in mind all the benefits mentioned here. You will be happy that you did.   <bio>Gray Rollins is a featured writer for Dog Teachers.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ According to the recent researches, an average people have almost five to fifteen pounds of waste which is gathered into their colons. That's while you can find several of advertisements telling us about the threats of the toxins that can show the way to scrounger and finally cause the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/colon+cancer" rel="tag">colon cancer</a>. Bad food habits and pollution are the reality of today's modern world and we can't run away from it.

That's while colon pills are come in the depiction. <br /><br /> After <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/public+realization" rel="tag">public realization</a> of the benefits of colon cleansing, the colon cleansing pills befall very popular. There is a number of verities of colon cleansing pills are available in the market. The quality level of these pills may be different from each other. There is some baseline point of standards that should be followed to ensure that they are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/taking+the+pills" rel="tag">taking the pills</a> for colon cleansing properly. This will preserve both the effectiveness and safety of the product. <br /><br /> Along with the increasing examples of the colon cancer all around the worlds, thousand of pills for colon cleansing are available in the market. The rates are different for all of the diseases according to the quality and quantity. Before choosing the dosage you should consult with any qualified or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/professional+physician" rel="tag">professional physician</a>. <br /><br /> Most of these colon cleansing pills claim to fasten your problems right away. You should always be more careful about these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/colon+cleansing+products" rel="tag">colon cleansing products</a>, as you be obliged it to yourself for using the best pills.

That is the only reason behind the increasing number of users of the pills with natural ingredients in the market. These pills don't have any harmful side effects, that's why these are most popular products. You should check out the formula of particular pill before using it. <br /><br /> For making the colon cleansing pills more effective, it is most important to have these pills regularly.

Unpredictable use of pills will never acquiesce the accurate results. Overuse of these dosages may cause the tolerance of pills and it is definitely not desirable. <br /><br /> For many individuals, there is the incorrect assumption that if you will increase the no of pill used daily then the result you achieve will be multiplied.

Really it is a ridiculous assumption and it is more dangerous for your health. In fact, the over ingestion and overuse of these colon cleansing pills may cause a number of gastrointestinal problems and may be possible dehydration. You should read the warning labels on these pills carefully and use them according to the instruction written on them.   <bio>Author is the webmaster of <a href="http://www.coloncleanse-r.com" >http://www.coloncleanse-r.com</a> and <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/clean-colon" >http://www.squidoo.com/clean-colon</a>.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ For many years people have sought to spread the word about their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+based+businesses" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+based+business" rel="tag">home based business</a>es</a> on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/safe+list" rel="tag">safe list</a>s. They said it was either very low cost or free advertising. And they said that one could reach others who understood MLM or network marketing or home based business attitudes. Thus one could reach others who would be of a like mind.<br /><br /><br /><br /> And there are even those who claim, and rightfully so, that they have made <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lots+of+money" rel="tag">lots of money</a> advertising on safe lists or had people sign up for their opportunity from a safe list.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> However, upon closer scrutiny it becomes apparent that only certain types of businesses do well on safe lists. And those are businesses that advertise the next hot safe list to join, or that advertise a tool or system that will enable the home based business owner to more widely or efficiently promote their business.<br /><br /><br /><br /> As for those who have had success on a safe list getting others to sign up for their business opportunity, for every one who claims that there are 999 others who claim otherwise. In other words, every now and then even a blind hog roots out an acorn. <br /><br /> Sad to say, if you are promoting your own network business you will not do well.<br /><br />What happens is that you wind up promoting your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/own+business" rel="tag">own business</a> to others who are promoting their own business and have little or no interest in what you have to offer. They want you to read their offer but wind up just going to the link to get their credits and delete your offer as quickly as possible so they can hurry to another link and do the same thing all over again.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Two more people can also make money on a safe list. And that is the person who owns the safe list and the person who sells you an e-book that tells you how to best use the safe list. So, unless you are the safe list owner, or have a product that appeals to the safe list niche market, I would avoid them like the plague. It is not only a waste of your time, but of your money too.   <bio>Dr. Robert Armstrong is a retired <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/green+beret" rel="tag">Green Beret</a> turned <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/doctor+of+chiropractic" rel="tag">Doctor of Chiropractic</a> who is currently the Director of Corporate Training for TWCCTW, Inc., a firm which works with over 150,000 non profit organizations.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[On both sides of the Atlantic burglaries and break-ins are on the increase, so you shouldn't think that you don't need security because burglaries only happen to other people.<br><br>Nowadays everyone needs security both at home and in the workplace. If you keep valuables in your house including large sums of money and/or jewellery then you may want to ensure that they don't get into the hands of a burglar by keeping them in a security safe.<br><br><i>There are different types of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/security+safes" rel="tag">security safes</a>; the most common are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fireproof+safes" rel="tag">fireproof safes</a>, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/wall+safes" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/wall+safe" rel="tag">wall safe</a>s</a> and underfloor security safes.</i><br><br><b>Fire Safes</b><br><br>You may be more worried about security in case of a fire than you are about burglaries or at least just as worried, in which case you might want to consider a fire proof safe. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fire+proof+safes" rel="tag">Fire proof safes</a> are especially constructed to keep documents, bonds and other values safe from fire. These are especially useful if you want to keep certain financial documents or identification documents (e.g. birth certificate, passports) safe, most fireproof safes are also difficult for a burglar to open.<br><br><b>Wall Safes</b><br><br>It used to be the case that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/small+business+owners" rel="tag">small business owners</a> and some home owners kept a portable safe in a back room or home office. Nowadays many people use wall safes in their home or office as these can easily be covered by a picture or mirror and will only be discovered by a more determined burglar. Most wall safes are operated with a combination lock and a person would have to know the particular combination in order to open the safe, without this combination the intruder would have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/extreme+difficulty" rel="tag">extreme difficulty</a> in opening the safe.<br><br>Burglars who were not too worried that someone might come in and discover them might attempt to jimmy open the safe or blow the door off. Some wall safes are designed with a combination pad that is alarmed. If a thief tries the wrong combination or attempts to open the safe in some other way then this sets off an alarm at the local police station.<br><br><b>Underfloor Safes</b><br><br>Some people believe that a wall safe is all too easily detected by a determined intruder and so they prefer what they believe is the added security of an underfloor safe. An underfloor safe is usually a more robust version of the wall safe, except that it is designed to fit under flooring. A floor safe may be installed when someone is having a house built, the floor is lowered into place and covered by a barely visible trap door and then the floor is often covered with a rug. Underfloor safes do seem to have an added measure of security as most intruders may not have the time or the initiative to look under the floor. Underfloor safes often have a similar locking system to a wall safe and may have a combination lock to deter would be thieves.<br><br>The type of safe that you choose is largely a matter of personal preference. While a security safe may not be 100% secure, it provides an extra level of protection for your valuables.<bio>Derek Rogers is a freelance writer who writes for a number of UK businesses.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, so it may sound a little funny but <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fashion+business" rel="tag">fashion business</a> school is something that many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fashion+students" rel="tag">fashion students</a> are looking into now more than ever. Fashion business school does sound a bit ludicrous, but if you consider the reasons why people attend <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fashion+school" rel="tag">fashion school</a> in the first place the idea of fashion and business together only make sense. Fashion degrees are about learning the ins and outs of the business and refining your skills whereas business courses are for people who want to manage or start a business of their own. For those out there already attending fashion school, it is a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/safe+assumption" rel="tag">safe assumption</a> to say that many of them dream of having their own line some day. A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fashion+line" rel="tag">fashion line</a> is a business, and that is where fashion business school courses can come into play. <br /><br /> Who Needs Fashion Business School=85Right? <br /><br /> Who cares if you are a pro at making A-line dresses fit even the sloppiest of figures if you can't run your business properly? It is insane to think that so many people are failing to consider the vital role that the fashion business industry plays in their chosen field. What would the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fashion+industry" rel="tag">fashion industry</a> be if it weren't for fashion business school? If nobody knew how to run a business there would be no Versace, no Louis Vuitton or Donna Karen. <br /><br /> Fashion in itself is a business, and those fashion students out there who are serious about their success will put some consideration into fashion business school courses. Just look at other industries, they all have their own business schools. I know people that have failed in the medical field due to poor business skills and management. So if you are serious about getting into fashion, they I would highly recommend checking out the business schools. <br /><br /> Deciding if Fashion Business School is Right for You <br /><br /> It is important to realize that while it may seem like common sense, not all <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fashion+schools" rel="tag">fashion schools</a> are going to offer courses in fashion business. School courses are designed for one thing or another, but not always both. Find out what type of coursework your chosen fashion school offers and see if you can get some good courses in fashion business in while you are in attendance. <br /><br /> This means that not only will you be able to learn everything that you have ever needed to know about the fashion industry, but you can also learn the ins and outs of business as well and how to handle certain things that your business may throw at you. If you become a millionaire you can hire a manager but in the meantime, you are going to have to learn something or other about fashion business. School may be the way to help you do just that. And you can always ask past or present future graduates to get some recommendations for which type of classes that would be best for you. <br /><br /> I now hope you realize how important the business aspect of your fashion career is.   <bio>Article written by Jessica Bradbury, she has a site dedicated to fashion design schools at <a href="http://www.fashion-school-info.com" >http://www.fashion-school-info.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[When <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vital+records" rel="tag">vital records</a> are stolen, lost, destroyed, or become unusable in any way, you have a disaster within a disaster. There are countless documents that are important to the wellbeing of you and your family, and these records belong in a fire-resistant, theft-deterrent home security safe. Store your records in a home security safe. A home security safe allows you to protect your vital records in case of fire or burglary. Vital records are any documents that contain information essential to survival in the event of a disaster. Some documents such as insurance policies, stock and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bond+certificates" rel="tag">bond certificates</a>, and bank records should be kept in a safe location for four to six years. Many other records, such as the ones below, need to be secured in a home security safe permanently. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/marriage+certificates" rel="tag">Marriage Certificates</a>, Adoption and Child Custody Papers, Wills. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/divorce+papers" rel="tag">Divorce Papers</a>, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/adoption+papers" rel="tag">Adoption Papers</a>, Mortgage Papers, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/passports" rel="tag">Passports</a>, Deeds, Citizenship Documentation and  <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/family+health+records" rel="tag">Family Health Records</a>. <br /><br /> Protecting these documents in a home security safe allows you and your family to effectively recover from a disaster by giving you the ability to prove who you are and what you own. <br /><br /> Choose the right home security safe <br /><br /> When you are faced with the decision of what type of home security safe to buy, you first need to consider whether you need your home security safe to protect your valuables from fire, thievery, or both? <br /><br /> If fire protection is the most important issue, you need to remember that no home security safe is 100% fireproof; anything can be damaged if exposed to high enough temperatures for a long enough period of time. A decent fire-resistant home security safe needs to be constructed from at least two layers of fireboard which are each 5/8 of an inch thick. The home security safe also needs to be able to maintain an internal temperature below 350 for a minimum of 30 minutes when tested in conditions which simulate a home fire. <br /><br /> When securing your valuables and vital documents from theft, remember that the construction quality of a home security safe determines the amount of protection offered. There are several important aspects of a home security safe to check before purchasing. Steel plate thickness, Welding quality, Door thickness, Steel door, reinforcements, Lock type and quality, Bolt locking mechanisms and Relocking devices. <br /><br /> The best protection you can get with a home security safe is by choosing one that has a combination of fire-resistant and theft-deterrent features.   <bio>Ralph Winn has over 32 years of experience in the security industry.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are a lot of reasons to start your own business from home. The freedom from the corporate world, the ability to make your own schedule, the opportunity to do something that you love for a living are all lures to start up your own business. <br /><br /> Do not be fooled into thinking that because of all the appeal, starting a home business is an easy prospect. There are many considerations in starting up your own business, and many areas that people will not realize when they start out. Having a heads-up about some of these areas can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/help" rel="tag">help</a> you avoid some of the pitfalls of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/new+business" rel="tag">new business</a> owner, and may help to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/save+money" rel="tag">save money</a> and keep the funds coming in in the future. <br /><br /> Don't Quit Your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/day+job" rel="tag">Day Job</a> Yet: This is the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cardinal+rule" rel="tag">cardinal rule</a> in starting up a home business. The advantage of this business is that you can run it on your spare time, when you are away from your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/regular+job" rel="tag">regular job</a>. Most businesses can expect to lose money in their first year of operation, this is just part of the cost of starting up and the learning curve. You will inevitably make misstates, and you will likely have to cut into your market through competition by offering lower rates than you could otherwise expect to gain. It is important that you keep some kind of income flow in order to succeed, so you should not quit a regular job until you are absolutely positive about your new business' potential. Assess your situation after you have been operating for a year; do you have an established base of clients? Is there a potential for more growth? Will the time you gain from leaving your regular job and concentrating on the home business allow you to make greater profits? If the answer to all of these questions is yes, then it might indeed be the time to concentrate solely on your business as your only source of income. <br /><br /> Set <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/realistic+targets" rel="tag">Realistic Targets</a>: When you start your business, you should have an idea of how much money you would like to make. It is best to make these targets on several levels, in terms of time. Start out with the most basic- is the hourly rate you are making worth the amount of work you are putting in? Some home business owners will find that a job at minimum wage pays more than they are receiving from their own business. Unless you really enjoy what you are doing, this type of business is probably not worth it. Secondly, have a two week amount in mind. This is the standard paycheck period for most people, so you will want to set your amount at whatever you would be earning at your regular job. You can also substitute this with a monthly goal, as some weeks will inevitably be better than others. Finally, consider your yearly goal. Do not count your first year when considering whether your business is worth pursuing- as stated above, most businesses will lose money in their first year. Instead, start your yearly analysis in the second year. <br /><br /> TAXES!!!: A lot of home business operators neglect to consider their tax burden, whether purposely or not. It is best to always set aside a portion of the month's business income for tax purposes- always operate under the assumption that you will be caught if you try to cheat. This will save you a lot of grief and money in the end. A good way to put aside money on the taxes that you will owe is to invest in a safe area such as mutual funds or GICs; this way, your money is safe and you will make a small amount in the year before your taxes are due. In effect, your taxes will actually make you money!   <bio>Jeff Jackson runs a website focused on helping you start your own home business.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ One of the things that so often trips us up in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/effective+communication" rel="tag">effective communication</a> is this thing called assumption. To make an assumption is to form a conclusion about someone or something without evidence or proof. When it comes to people and even environments, we make <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/assumptions" rel="tag">assumptions</a> almost daily. We are quick to size up people and situations almost immediately and act accordingly. This can be a real problem when it comes to communication and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/interpersonal+relationships" rel="tag">interpersonal relationships</a>. Our assumptions get in the way and cause us to respond in ways that are not always appropriate.<br /><br /><br /><br /> It's not always what it seems or appears to be. For example: <br /><br /> * We see a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/disheveled" rel="tag">disheveled</a> person and we assume they are homeless. (Maybe they just having a bad day!)  * We see a person without a wedding ring and assume they are single or divorced. (Maybe they took it off because it doesn't fit any more or to play golf like my husband does.)  * A really tall guy at college must be a basketball player.  * Northerners are unfriendly.  * Southerners are stupid.  * <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/alice" rel="tag">Alice</a> wants some help from her husband Mark with the garage.  Mark's former wife nagged him often and was very critical.  Alice is simply asking for help but as Alice begins to speak, Mark begins to automatically assume that Alice is going to begin nagging him and criticizing him. Rather than really hear her out, he cuts her off, explodes and walks out. He assumes the worst and doesn't really hear her request.  * A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/newlywed+couple" rel="tag">newlywed couple</a> talks about where to spend the holidays.  The husband suggests they stay in town. The wife gets defensive and upset because she assumes that he is taking her away from her family. After talking it out, she realizes that he was not trying to take her from her family. She had made an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/incorrect+assumption" rel="tag">incorrect assumption</a>. Her new husband had his own assumptions.  He assumed that his new bride would want to spend their first Christmas holiday together as a couple. <br /><br /> When it comes to relationships, we bring our life experiences to those relationships. It is those life experiences that often affect our perceptions and our view of things. It is these perceptions that can get us into trouble! When we live out of our own perceptions and assumptions, we often fail to see the other person's point of view. We are not open to possibilities. We aren't really listening. We have already formed an opinion and judgment on the matter.<br /><br />In Mark's case, in the illustration above, he had already formed an opinion about Alice based on his former wife. After all, all women are the same right? His response of blowing up was way out of proportion to her request. It's call magnification. He took what would have been a one dollar event and made it a $1,000 event. That is not a great thing to do when it comes to communication. <br /><br /> Also, when we make assumptions, we can get into mind reading.  We assume we know how the other person thinks or feels. We also assume they should know what we want and need. When they don't meet our expectations we are totally bent out of shape.  Rather than voicing what we need or want to the other person to begin with, we assume they should be able to read our minds.  Mind reading isn't helpful for anyone! <br /><br /> When it comes to communication, assumptions do really need to go. The key word here is communication. I believe much can be done on the prevention end before things get heated or become explosive. In communicating, we need to become better listeners and that means listening with all of our senses. We need to listen to what is being said and what is not being said. Both verbal and non-verbal communication is important.  If a person isn't raising their voice, then why should we? We need to be fully engaged with the other person with our eyes and ears. We must resist formulating our response or coming to a conclusion before we have thoroughly heard them out. In other words, waiting before the conversation is over before interrupting or injecting our own thoughts. We also have to get better at telling people what we need and want to begin with, and not expect them to assume what we need or want. Most people are not mind readers. <br /><br /> Another helpful way to move past assumptions is to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Ever thought of what they might be thinking, feeling and needing here?<br /><br />Try to see the other person's point of view. Try to see where they are coming from.<br /><br />Try and look for a win-win situation if at all possible. <br /><br /> Finally, the most important question to ask yourself at all times is what am I assuming here? Are my assumptions based on fact or just assumptions? And the next time you find yourself beginning to tense up and react, take a deep breath, stand back a step, and ask yourself the question, "what am I assuming here?" I bet you will see things differently and you might just save yourself from an argument!   <bio>Janet Daughtry, MDIV, CBC, is a certified Christian life coach helping women reach their potential and fulfill their purpose.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[As the years pass you by, you should be prepared to watch your looks deteriorate year by year. That is the assumption most people make. An assumption that is thankfully wrong.<br><br>In reality, a woman who cares for herself can look better and better as the years go by. Yes, wrinkles and gray hair will eventually show up, but compare a 25 year old woman who can't be bothered with her health and is grossly overweight, and who abuses her body with her bad habits, to a 60 year old woman who cared for her body over the decades, who kept trim and healthy through a healthy diet, exercise and clean living. Who do you think looks better?<br><br>The younger girl may have the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bloom+of+youth" rel="tag">bloom of youth</a> but the unfit body spoils it all. The older woman may be fit and glowing with health.<br><br>The other day, I found myself envying a grandmother's figure. She had gray hair and was talking about her grandchildren. Her figure was trim and shapely. Sexier by far than many women half her age.<br><br>A younger woman or even a teenager with a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sedentary+lifestyle" rel="tag">sedentary lifestyle</a>, who lives on junk food can well be obese. Maybe she spends all her time sitting in front on the TV or computer and calls in a pizza or greasy fast food for lunch and doesn't touch fruit or veggies. Not only would her weight be affected, chances are her skin, hair and nails would be dull. Or blemished. If her idea of a workout is to lift crisps into her mouth, she is probably in big trouble.<br><br>Even if she doesn't think she eats much, her sedentary lifestyle would ensure a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/slow+metabolism" rel="tag">slow metabolism</a> and that alone can cause her to gather fat.<br><br>If you have a weight problem, the first thing to do is a reality check.
