Satellite TV: Best Deals-Best Products

2008-03-31T13:25:00.000-07:00

My lady friend/lover said, "what a perfect title" ...about how couples need to approach the major issues that arise from time to time in their relationship. I had just told her that this book-I Love You, Let's Work It Out by David Viscott had just sold from my library at the ever growing Redeux Products online store. Search our inventory for this and other relationship books here.

We too have had our share of difficulties, and we are learning a bit along the way how to keep ourselves together. It starts with feeling like you were meant for each other and remembering the big love (and passion) that was easily acknowledged between you two, we believe. It also starts, we believe, with accepting the commitment you made earlier and taking responsibility for what it entails.
I see Viscott saying much the same thing as I page through the book quickly before it goes out the door to help another couple hopefully.

He quotes Shakespeare the flyleaf, "He love not who does not show his love". I liked the Happiest Couples short poem that ends the book.
"The Happiest Couples share a unique view of the world.
The happiest couples are partners in a destiny they create together
No one is bound to be what the other cannot achieve
Each is his own person and free
The present is without debts.
The moment is without fear
The answer is I love you.
The question is unimportant"

Viscott also devotes a large chapter to sexual relations. He says in another way what I know from experience and in my layman ways have suggested couples give equal or even greater effort and focus to as well as all the other things that need atttention.

Viscott, "It has often been said when sex is bad it is a very large part of a relationship and when sex is good it is a very small part." I suggest that the effort and time spent is as important as the end results. Viscott suggests couples could prepare a lovemaking-sexual relations manual. I think this could be part of their relationship notebook or folder, which most definitely has to have pictures of the happiest most loving times.
The sex relations manual would include the couples thoughts and feelings on the following, he says
1. Our Erogenous Zones-the map of love
2. What Excites Me..You
3 How our feeling of romance help our sexual relations and what are they
4. What turns us off?
5. Planning spontaneity
6. How I need you to love me
7. Sharing fantasies-and acting on them
8. How should we experiment and continually grow our sexual relations/lovemaking.

So plan your spontaneity and plan to talk and write.
Are these the seven most powerful words for people in a relationship? "I Love You...Let's Work it Out" If not, what is? Comments?
Have a great day!

Fat Loss For Dummies or Idiots.. Is there such a thing?

Fat loss is one of those things that sounds easier than it really
is.

After all, if you just eat less calories than you burn, you'll
lose fat, right?

Not necessarily. You could be burning muscle, which will turn you
into a weak blob of quivering fat if you stay on that diet long
enough.

And even if you do burn fat, does that mean you have to be hungry
all the time?

There is a TON of disinformation out there. One person says to
follow a low carb diet, another says to follow a low fat diet,
and someone else says low calorie is definitely the way to go.

Who knows?

Here's what the Fat Loss For Idiots folks say:.

Here are the facts...

Low Fat Diets DO NOT Work...

People have been on low fat diets for two decades, yet there are
more overweight people than ever before.

What many folks don't seem to realize is that your body NEEDS
certain fats to function properly, and even to LOSE weight.

That's right... you will lose weight, and lose MORE of it, if you
are eating the right amount of certain fats.

So FORGET low fat diets, they simply DO NOT WORK.

Low Calorie Diets DO NOT Work...

This is hard for most people to swallow, but the fact is, eating
too few calories is the WORST thing you can do to your body.

Starving yourself SLOWS DOWN fat burning.

So while you may lose a few pounds initially, you will then hit a
plateau and all weight loss will STOP.

Worse yet, when you increase your calories, your body will pack
on MORE fat as a safety measure in case you starve again. So
you'll likely wind up weighing MORE in the long run by using a
low calorie diet.

Low Carb Diets DO NOT Work...

People love low carb diets for the first week or so, because they
see that scale needle dropping. But do you know what they're
losing? Usually water and muscle.

Then reality kicks in. Who can continue to eat nothing but meats
and vegetables, especially when it's making you so tired?

Low carb diets are extremely difficult to stick to. And again,
once you go off the diet, you're likely to gain all the weight
back and then some.

Programs such as Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig are somewhat
better...

These types of programs result in slower weight loss, and some of
them involve buying special meals that are expensive and don't
necessarily taste very good.

While better than the first three types of diets, these diets are
still not the best.

So what's the answer?

An Accelerated Fat Burning Program such as the one found in Fat
Loss For Idiots program...

Visit Fat Loss For Idiots Site

If you're overweight, it's because you've been eating the wrong
foods at the wrong intervals in the wrong patterns.

Sound crazy?

Not all calories are alike. Some foods make you gain weight while
others help you maintain or lose weight.

And it's not just the types of food that you eat that's
important.

It's also WHEN you eat each type of food, and how many times per
day that you eat.

It wasn't lack of exercise that made you overweight. It was the
wrong foods at the wrong times of the day.

If you correct this, you'll lose weight.

And here's where you find out how to do that...

Visit Fat Loss For Idiots Site

This was part 1 of 3 of information from the Fat Loss For Idiots program, one of the most popular information programs online.

P.S. Food is more powerful than any weight loss drug.

That's because the foods you eat have the power to make you fat
or thin.

And just as you gained weight without exercising, you can also
LOSE weight without exercising, if you know what you're doing...

Look at your calendar right now. Count out 11 days from today,
and circle that date.

Using the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet (found no where else) just 11
Days from today you'll notice a dramatic change in your body...

As I'm inclined to do most of the time, I like to look quickly at the "how to" books and other personal development books, as well the others too. It's a great side benefit of an online bookstore-"tidsbits of knowledge daily based on what other people are voting for with their pocketbooks". The book that got a bit of my attention today was "Super Self-Doubling Your Personal Effectiveness" by Charles Givens. A very nearly new condition hardcover by the way of this 1993 book which is what we try to do to distinguish ourselves in a crowded marketplace. Very good condition used or like new copies. Givens is known for his wealth books and seminars in the 80's and 90's

His Success Strategy No. 1 is worth repeating. Most of us who need personal development and growth have failed at some things or something. We have made many mistakes. To make quantum leaps forward we may have to rely more on the experiences of others who have been successful than learning from the "school of hard knocks" which has been our own life. We keep going back to old methods and habit that repeat our problems and I can say with experience based just on relationships in my past. Or look at your choice of jobs or business activities.

His strategy based on the notion that doing more of what doesn't work won't make it work any better is "Learn From The Experiences Of Other, Rather Than Your Own". This will cut the learning curve time frame and the change curve in your life dramatically, he says, and I tend to agree. Learning the right methods to personal and business effectiveness and having them become formed habits in the shortest possible time, as opposed to the trial and error of our own experiences, is the basis of
the "Super Self" as he calls it.

And with that I carry on with my day. Make one key change in your life today based on what you know or see successful people doing regularly! I concur with Givens, you won't regret it.

Long-Term Romance: 10 Ways to Lure Customers to Your Loyalty Program

by Steve Webster, Chief Strategy Officer and founder, iPost

Loyalty programs can be your key to high conversion rates. People like to be appreciated for their patronage especially if you offer them something special first-time or infrequent customers don't get. Following are some simple strategies for turning a one-time customer into a habitual and happy loyalty program spender:

1) Make it easy for them: Structure your program to make joining as simple as possible. Design it so that all of your customers can participate at some level.

2) Make it easy for you: Choose vendors who are flexible and don't just offer technical expertise but also support, so that the ball is never dropped.

3) Add real value to your loyalty program: Consider your costs and ROI, and focus on what's valuable to your customer.

4) Personalize: It costs almost nothing to call your customers by name, but it makes them feel special. It also helps create the impression that your message was expressly intended for the reader.

5) Show them you're paying attention: Turn the data you receive about your customers' interests and preferences into value for them.

6) Get it in front of them: Promote your loyalty program at every customer touch point -- call center, website, etc.

7) Make your loyalty program viral: People like to pass valuable and exciting opportunities on to their friends, so make it easy for your customers to get others to join your loyalty program.

8) Tie your PMS into your loyalty program: Work your unsold inventory into your customer rewards, so that you move that merchandise quickly and effectively.

9) Reward your customers for planning ahead: Check your past history to see what inventory sells slowly or usually needs to be moved, and promote this to customers far in advance at a great rate.

10) Bring effective partnerships into the equation: Sell mini and combination packages that make it easy for customers to purchase not just your merchandise, but complimentary products and services, too.

NTT DoCoMo testing Mobile WiMax and HSDPA handoffs - Rmail

2006-07-06T16:15:00.000-07:00

Filed under: Wireless

Japan’s NTT DoCoMo just applied for license to launch a Mobile WiMax (802.16e) network for testing. The tests will be conducted over the next year in the Yoyogi area of Tokyo and among other things, check for continuous connectivity handoffs between WiMax and other systems such as their new HSDPA network launching later this year.

After seeing WiMax frequency allocation blocked in Europe last year due to heavy UMTS investment by some of its ~~protectionists~~ manufacturers, it does our cold, jaded hearts good to see this level of cooperation in well-mannered Japan.

Carriers and manufacturers form pact to push mobile Linux - Rmail

2006-07-06T16:10:00.000-07:00

Filed under: Cellphones

Yeah, we've heard it before, but they mean it this time. Carriers Vodafone and NTT DoCoMo have teamed up with Motorola, Samsung, NEC, and Panasonic to succeed where others have failed, busting out a common Linux-based smartphone platform and sharing costs and R&D resources along the way. Besides unifying the fragmented mobile Linux community behind a single open platform, the group's goal is to see the light of day in a production phone before the end of 2007, but let's be honest -- the project won't be considered a success unless the joint venture can produce a popular, well-known platform that can scrap with the Symbians and the Windows Mobiles of the world. Hey, Access PalmSource, you guys paying attention?

Dish Network Adds More HDTV Programming-Nashville To Get HDTV via Satellite from Dish

2006-02-21T07:31:00.000-08:00

DISH Network boosts HD lineup

By Chris Lewis, clewis@nashvillecitypaper.com
February 21, 2006
The trend toward high-definition (HD) television is marching forward in Nashville, with DISH Network’s recent additions of local TV channels to its HD lineup.

EchoStar Communications Corp. officially announced Monday that its satellite TV service added WKRN-Ch. 2 (ABC), WTVF-Ch. 5 (CBS), WSMV-Ch. 4 (NBC), and WZTV-Ch. 17 (FOX) as of last Thursday.

Nashville is one of only five markets in the nation where DISH offers local channels in high definition, joining Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York, said Matt Catlin, business development director for DISH’s Southeast region.

“Nashville has been a great market for us in the past. We do have a great customer base here,” he said, noting that the company will expand its local HD channel offerings to 50 cities by the end of the year.

But besides being a little underwhelmed by the looks (as usual), it’ll run you $300 bones — and yes, it’s still only pre-recorded programming. No word on what the capacity is on this thing, but we’re sure to find out sooner than later.

Some Laughs For You Tool Guys and Girls-Sorry No Source Available

2006-02-15T05:39:00.000-08:00

Automobile Tool Definitions

Hammer:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive car parts not far from the object we are trying to hit.

Mechanic’s Knife:
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on boxes containing convertible tops or tonneau covers.

Electric Hand Drill:
Normally used for spinning steel Pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age, but it also works great for drilling rollbar mounting holes in the floor of a sports car just above the brake line that goes to the rear axle.

Hacksaw:
One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

Vise-Grips:
Used to round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

Oxyacetelene Torch:
Used almost entirely for lighting those stale garage cigarettes you keep hidden in the back of the Whitworth socket drawer (What wife would think to look in _there_?) because you can never remember to buy lighter fluid for the Zippo lighter you got from the PX at Fort Campbell.

Zippo Lighter:
See oxyacetelene torch.

Whitworth Sockets:
Once used for working on older British cars and motorcycles, they are now used mainly for hiding six-month old Salems from the sort of person who would throw them away for no good reason.

Drill Press:
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it against the Rolling Stones poster over the bench grinder.

Wire Wheel:
Cleans rust off old bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprint whorls and hard-earned guitar callouses in about the time it takes you to say, "Django Reinhardt".

Hydraulic Floor Jack:
Used for lowering a Mustang to the ground after you have installed a set of Ford Motorsports lowered road springs, trappng the jack handle firmly under the front air dam.

Eight-Foot Long Douglas Fir 2X4:
Used for levering a car upward off a hydraulic jack.

Tweezers:
A tool for removing wood splinters.

Phone:
Tool for calling your neighbor Chris to see if he has another hydraulic floor jack.

Snap-On Gasket Scraper:
Theoretically useful as a sandwich tool for spreading mayonnaise; used mainly for getting dog-doo off your boot.

E-Z Out Bolt and Stud Extractor:
A tool that snaps off in bolt holes and is ten times harder than any known drill bit.

Timing Light:
A stroboscopic instrument for illuminating grease buildup on crankshaft pulleys.

Two-Ton Hydraulic Engine Hoist:
A handy tool for testing the tensile strength of ground straps and hydraulic clutch lines you may have forgotten to disconnect.

Craftsman 1/2 x 16-inch Screwdriver:
A large motor mount prying tool that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end without the handle.

Battery Electrolyte Tester:
A handy tool for transferring sulfuric acid from car battery to the inside of your toolbox after determining that your battery is dead as a doornail, just as you thought.

Aviation Metal Snips:
See Hacksaw.

Trouble Light:
The mechanic’s own tanning booth. Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, "the sunshine vitamin", which is not otherwise found under cars at night. Health benefits aside, its main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate that 105-mm howitzer shells might be used during, say, the first few hours of the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name is somewhat misleading.

Phillips Screwdriver:
Normally used to stab the lids of old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splash oil on your shirt; can also be used, as the name implies, to round off Phillips screw heads.

Air Compressor:
A machine that takes energy produced in a coal-burning power plant 200 miles away and transforms it into compressed air that travels by hose to a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench that grips rusty suspension bolts last tightened 40 years ago by someone in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and rounds them off.

Another Book Gone From The Library (Cont'd)...Jim Morrison bio.

2005-11-13T04:08:00.000-08:00

My Library says goodbye to No One Here Gets Out Alive, the biography of Jim Morrison of The Doors that I picked up recently.

This book just went out the door to a fine home in Ontario, Canadao.
No One Here Gets Out Alive . by Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugerman, Warner Books, 1981. ISBN: 0446939218

Their music sounds as fresh today as it did in the early 70's when it took us all by storm. What a fantastic album debut they had. As popular today as when they first recorded.

Jim Morrison was the master of excess in his life. I noted the quote from Blake that poet Michael McClure used in the afterword; "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom"
