Furnish Your Vision, Fulfill Your Desire
Home! Sweet home. What else could be the connotation of this seemingly simple word? For many, home is not where you live but where you yearn to be at the end of a long grueling day, it is not a dream but a vision, it is not a part of your life but an addendum of who you are rather than what you are, it does not vindicate your existence but expound your entity and hence it is imperative to us that we meticulously plan and execute the search and furnishing of the same.
Now, that can be a task too many. Comfort is not bestowed on but earned and pleasure is not a prerogative but a return in lieu of what you gave to this world. Making your home a utopia of pleasure and comfort is a process that demands honesty and willingness. The colour you have chosen to adorn your house with, the furniture you have picked to meet needs and fit space available, the gadgets you have selected to make tasks easier, from a pin to a pen, an amalgam of aesthetic and pragmatic approach works better towards making this process more effective.
These days the term Cash back Portal is heard more often than not and I see no harm in giving this buzzword a try when it comes to shop online and make the process more convenient and yielding. Subject to your priorities you can opt for one of the innumerable portals offering anything and everything you need. Catch is, go through their policies and offers mentioned there and make the most out of it. I would personally go for portals with a more user friendly website and a rather uncomplicated policies and offers. They still have way to go and that�s where I could gauge an opportunity to get associated with them, as they would be willing to project themselves as more customer-centric than revenue generators.

Holiday Planning Tips For Parents
Ahhh, the Holidays�� The Thanksgiving turkey comes out of the oven golden brown, with an enticing aroma that fills the entire house. All the china is in pristine condition and not a single piece in the set is missing. The family is gathered for holiday pictures, the children are poised perfectly; hands to themselves, not a hair out of place and their smiles are shining brightly for the camera. Then just as the photographer is about to capture the shot� you wake up! Let’s be realistic ladies. Without proper planning, the holidays are anything but a holiday. Just look at the list of things that need to be done: Shopping, cooking, cleaning, decorating, sending holiday mail, the list goes on and on.
Let me clue you all in on a few key questions that you should ask yourself in order to have a holiday season free of stress and worry, and instead filled with fun and laughter:
What types of holiday celebrations do you want? For example: Do you want to have an immediate family only holiday affair or an extravaganza including immediate and extended family plus a few friends? Once you’ve thought everything through and decided on the type of holiday gathering you would like, you can then start making your plans.
If you are ready to get a head start on organizing yourself, your family and your holiday check lists, then keep reading:
Holiday Cards: Start early! I use a holiday card list that I derive from saving names and addresses from holiday cards my family has received in past years. I created a simple, computerized list that is easy to edit and print onto address labels. Be sure to stock up on stamps so that when you have your cards signed, stuffed and addressed you can affix a stamp to them and make one, simple trip to the Post Office.
Holiday Gifts: There’s nothing like getting a HUGE credit card bill in the mail at the start of the New Year. Many of us tend to want to be generous when shopping for holiday gifts. While your generosity will be appreciated at gift giving time, keep in mind that it is very easy to succumb to “impulse buying” and go all out on your holiday shopping. While your intentions may be good, your pocketbook may be singing a different song. Set a budget and stick to it � your bank account will thank you for it after the start of the New Year.
Wrap it up: Wrap your gifts and place nametags on them immediately after you bring them home, then store the gifts in a secure spot. This will cut down on those late night wrapping sessions that I am sure we ALL have experienced a few times, if not every year.
Baking & cooking: If you will be cooking during the holidays, it is important to plan your meals ahead of time. Be sure to stock up ahead of time on all the necessary non-perishable baking ingredients such as flour, sugar and spices. Create a list of your holiday menus and a list of the ingredients you will need to prepare each of those meals. Also, try to think of a few dishes that can be prepared ahead of time and then frozen as an extra timesaving measure
Delegate: This is one of my favorite tips. Be sure to enlist the help of your family or friends. Sit down and discuss what needs to be done then ask for volunteers. If no hands are raised, simply assign small tasks to each of them. Whether it is arranging for a babysitter so that you can escape for a child free day of shopping, passing the shopping list onto another family member or friend so that they can pick up the items for you, or letting the children decorate your home. Be sure to get the whole family involved in the holiday preparations so that you will not be overwhelmed.
Enjoy: Whatever you decide to do, remember to relax and enjoy yourself. You and your family will have much fonder memories of this holiday season if you are not spending it pulling your hair out.

How Long Can I Consider a Job Offer?
A few weeks ago, a young man I was representing almost lost a job. He had interviewed with the firm on Thursday afternoon and received a job offer that day. He wanted to consider the offer until the close of business the following Friday . . . and almost lost the opportunity he ultimately accepted by insisting that he had �a right� to �consider it� until then.
From my client�s perspective, they understood that he was comparison shopping, had actually hired three people from the firm he was waiting for an offer from, were interviewing more people from there and didn�t want to risk losing everyone.
This situation offers an opportunity to examine how long you have to consider a job offer once you receive one.
The correct answer is that you have as long as they will give you.
Most firms would like an immediate or almost immediate response. I don�t mean an answer in 10 minutes. I mean an answer where you sleep on it. After all, in most cases, you�ve interviewed there several times, why haven�t you been thinking about it before now and able to make a decision?
And delaying for too long gives a message to the hiring firm of how you make decisions . . . or that you are shopping for another option . . . or just aren�t that interested.
The fact is everything you do on an interview is a reflection of you and how you will work with your new employer. A day to think is OK (truthfully, now, you�re not going to take a day off from work, sit in a chair in isolation and contemplate the job offer, are you), two days is often OK and more gives the employer reason to feel hesitant about you and your thought process.

Skin the Cat
Skin the Cat
by Bob Osgoodby
No we’re not talking about upcoming “Yo-Yo” events, but rather different ways of doing business. Those with a “brick and mortar” business, quickly learn that there are two types of people they will meet in their store. Those who can afford to pay for the goods and services, and those who can’t. Now that seems simple enough.
Someone who leaves the store without buying, because they couldn’t pay now, will seldom be seen again. Sure, some go to an ATM, withdraw the cash and return, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Others will write a check, but there are people who can’t afford, at this moment, to write a check either. If you can’t close a sale when they are ready to buy, they have time to cool off, and you will most likely lose the opportunity.
The same holds true on the web. If you can’t close when someone has made up their mind to buy, you will probably lose the sale. Now there are several methods of accepting payment on the web. One is to have them send you a check or money order. They have to write out the check or get a money order, and time passes - in other words you have lost the immediacy of the moment.
Many people buy on impulse, and if you provide a convenient way for them to pay for the purchase, you have a better chance of making the sale. This can take several forms on the web, and let’s talk about just two.
Many online business barely make expenses when starting out. As you get known, it will increase, but after awhile will level out. You are losing the impulse purchases. Once you install online checks, your business should immediately increase.
Obviously the online check submission has an effect. But, you can then expect your business to level off again, even though it will be at a higher level than before. Realize that people will not submit a check online if they are tight on funds.
Some people will write a check or submit one online knowing they don’t have sufficient funds to cover it. Yes this is illegal, but there are those who will do it, hoping to get the merchandise. Those that do are fairly comfortable in the fact that it is usually not worth the merchants time and effort to prosecute, and they will simply write it off as a bad debt.
It is then time to take the next step. Acquire merchant status and be able to accept credit cards. People can now make the purchase knowing they have 30 days to make payment. If they were financially tight at that point, they could make a minimum payment, but still have the advantage of making their purchase now. At that point, your business should take a huge jump.
If you are doing business on the web, and selling either a product or a service, and feel you just can’t afford to get a merchant account, it is costing you lost sales. Sure, it costs about a 700 - 800 dollars to become fully operational with online checks and a merchant account, but you will recover that very quickly.
But I have to have a “secure site” to accept these you might think, and you are right. You can do this in one of two ways that make sense. You can contract with a company that provides web space and get a “secure site” from them, but this requires a knowledge of HTML coding. You also have to manually enter the credit card information, and you have little defense against a disputed claim, and may have “charge backs”.
A second way is to set up a shopping cart. This is probably the best way to do business online. You don’t need a secure site of your own as the company providing the shopping cart does. An added benefit is that the customers enter the information themselves and their “IP” address is automatically captured. If the credit card is declined, they can immediately enter another. You are only notified when there is a successful transaction. The customer is automatically sent a receipt, so the chances of a charge back are significantly reduced.
If you don’t have merchant status, you should at least consider “Paypal” which is probably the easiest and cheapest way for small businesses and websites to accept payments online. There is also a shopping cart available, but does require basic knowledge of HTML. “Paypal” is a viable solution for a small business. The only drawback is that your potential customer has to sign-up with “Paypal”, and “jump through a few hoops”. This does risk “cooling off”..
There are many ways to “skin the cat” and if you find one that works for you, your online business will prosper.

15 Hot Tips to Make Your Romance Sizzle
Is your romance with that special someone cooling off? Do you worry that the spark is going to go out? Look no further. Here are 15 hot tips to make your romance sizzle.
1. Use edible pain to create masterpieces on each other’s bodies. If you don’t have or can’t find edible paint, use chocolate syrup or whip cream.
2. If you are looking for action later in the evening, eat a light dinner for a better ability to perform.
3. Create a fantasy box. Cover an old shoe box with white paper and use markers to paint some romantic scenes or hearts on it. You and your partner should write fantasies on slips of paper and put them in the box. When you are both in the mood, draw out a fantasy and make it into a reality.
4. Have your partner close their eyes, or blindfold them and then experiment with sensations. Use a feather, aromatherapy oils or ice to enhance their pleasure. Rub their lips with ice until they are cold and then kiss them with your warm lips. This is very erotic.
5. Go a little crazy and plan a sexual adventure. Make a date when each of you comes prepared for a sexual fantasy. You can dress in costumes or use sex toys to spark the enthusiasm.
6. Set the mood. Use aromatherapy candles and romantic music, or dim the lights and spend time together sipping a glass of wine. Fireplaces are romantic as well. Light a fire and cuddle up on it with your partner and then seek out all of those pleasure spots. Making love before a fire is very romantic.
7. Ladies can wear sexy lingerie - not. Go out to dinner and tell your partner about your bare essentials. If you can give him a peek without allowing others a glimpse, use the situation to your advantage.
8. Put a drop of edible oil in your partner’s favorite flavor someplace on your body that you know they will lick. This gives a pleasant surprise and stimulates sensitivity.
9. Take your partner shopping…for sex toys. If you are embarrassed to go into a sex toy shop, do your erotica shopping online. There are a wide variety of sites that offer sex toys that will add romance to any couple’s life.
10. Experiment with a vibrator. Each person can use it on the other to find those “pleasure spots.” Once you find them, return to them time after time for a sensual lovemaking experience.
11. Delay orgasm. Enjoy the eroticism and sensuality of the sex act itself. When you finally do reach your orgasm, it will be extremely intense and pleasurable.
12. Be sure to take gender into consideration. Women like to be aroused slowly. Partners shouldn’t go directly for the clitoris or nipples. Men, on the other hand, have only one area that is extremely sensitive to stimulation; the genitals. To be sure that both partners enjoy the act of lovemaking equally, the woman should provide manual stimulation while the man slowly brings her to arousal.
13. Take the chance and enjoy the thrill of having sex in a forbidden place. Take your partner parking in a secluded area and make love in the car. Lovemaking in dangerous places stimulates both male and female partners.
14. Make eye contact during lovemaking and especially during orgasm. This enhances both the intensity and intimacy of lovemaking.
15. Explore each other’s body to find pleasure spots that will send your partner into ecstasy. If you and your partner enjoy oral sex, explore each other’s body with your tongues. This can be very sensual to those who enjoy it.
Use your imagination to bring romance and sensuality into your life. Find out what your partner likes best through trial and error, or simply ask them what they like to do in the lovemaking department. You might be surprised at how much your relationship will heat up. Keep it sizzling.

1031 Royalty Interests
If you’re looking for a way to diversify your real estate portfolio and are having trouble with traditional replacement properties, investing in 1031 royalty interests in an oil or gas project may be a viable alternative strategy.
Basically, a 1031 Exchange is a way for investors to take the money they make off of the sale of a property, and reinvest it into another property. One of the main reasons for doing this is to defer capital gains taxes from the relinquished property to the replacement property. If you currently own real estate, and you’re looking for a replacement property, you might want to consider investing in 1031 royalty interests in an oil or gas project . The IRS has some tricky rules when it comes to exchanging oil and gas rights. For example, minerals beneath the surface are considered part of the real estate, but when they are extracted they fall into a different category. You can exchange 1031 royalty interests for another royalty interest, as well as for a hotel, office building, shopping mall, or any other "like-kind" property.
In a standard oil and gas investment, investors have "subsurface interests" or "mineral rights" to the oil and gas reserves which lay beneath a shared property. One type of interest is called a "royalty interest." Under these circumstances, the investor is the owner of the mineral rights, however the owner plays no role in the exploration or the drilling of the oil and gas; they simply are entitled to a percentage of any extracted minerals.
Oil and gas interests have several very attractive characteristics. For one, the demand for oil and gas is virtually unwavering. Also, in many of the oil and gas deals, there are no closing costs or additional fees to consume part of your investment. Finally, oil and gas investments have a significant upside in respect to returns.
If you are interested in making a exchange, 1031 royalty interests may provide an profitable avenue for you. Remember, it’s essential to do your homework regarding royalty rights to ensure you comply with state and federal laws regarding the exchange of oil and gas rights.

Smart Buying for Christmas Lights
Christmas Lights are very popular during the holiday season because it gives life to our Christmas decorations. They come in different styles and prices. So here are some tips in buying the right Christmas lights for your home at a reasonable price.
Compute the area where the Christmas lights will be used.
You have to measure the exact length of the area where you will place the lights then add a few inches depending on where your power outlet is located. So if you are planning to hang them outside your home, determine the length of your home as well as the distance to the power outlet.
However, if you plan to place the Christmas lights on your Christmas tree, you can use a tape measure to determine the exact length of the Christmas lights that you will need to buy.
Find out how many strands of Christmas lights you need.
This will depend on your measurements of the area needed to be covered with Christmas lights and length of strands of Christmas lights you will purchase. For example, your measurement is 50 feet and each strand of Christmas lights measures 10 feet, then you will need 5 strands of Christmas lights.
It is also advisable to use shorter strands of Christmas lights so that you can easily replace them if one strand gets damaged.
Determine the type of Christmas Lights you need.
To easily determine the type of Christmas lights, you need to know your purpose of your Christmas light. Will you be hanging them outside your home? Are you planning to have indoor Christmas lights together with your Christmas tree?
Once you know your purpose then check out the features of Christmas lights which include bulbs, strand type and plug style.
� Bulbs: The bulbs can be in different sizes, shapes and color. You need to determine your Christmas holiday motif so that you can select Christmas lights that match your other decorations. Then, decide on the number of bulbs you prefer because Christmas lights vary in the number of bulbs per strand. Look in the package and you will see the number of bulbs included in the Christmas lights.
You also have to check the wattage of each bulb because the illumination of your decoration will depend on the wattage and number of bulbs you will use. Moreover, bulbs have different lightning effect. Some bulbs can have a steady glow while others blink in different ways. So choose the Christmas lights with the bulb that you will love.
� Strand type: The strand of Christmas lights can either have serial or parallel wiring. In a serial wiring, all bulb will not light up if one of them is broken. Thus, it is best to have a Christmas lights that has parallel wiring so that even if one of the bulb is damaged, all other bulbs will still illuminate.
� Plug style: Select an end to end style of plug if you are planning to use several strands of Christmas lights. This will allow you to easily connect all strands of lights together. But if your decorations will only require one strand of Christmas lights, then the plug style may not be that important.
Do a comparison shopping
It is always advisable to do comparison shopping to get the best deal for your favorite Christmas lights. Visit the shopping stores that sell Christmas lights in your area. You can also watch out for sales on these stores. Another way is doing an online shopping.
This would be convenient for you if you do not have enough time to visit the stores in your area. Remember to jot down the prices of each preferred Christmas lights so you can compare them once you have visited all the stores.
You can be a smart buyer for Christmas lights by simply following these tips. Thus, you can start lighting up your home using your favorite Christmas lights during holiday season.
