Memoirs of a Boy Soldier

Literature Reflection

Reflection 1

Writing can be a very effective tool in helping to understand a problem. By writing a problem out in writing you can see it in its entirety. You have the opportunity to see the beginning, middle, and end all at the same time. When you are living in a problem you only focus on the events that are happening at that moment. You don't have the opportunity to step back and see how that event will affect something else, how it could change you. When you write the whole problem out you see how the little events interact with each other and how the end result got to be.

Writing can be a big help in finding by to go through and fix problems. You can use it as a way to heal yourself and understand why the problem had to take place. I personally use writing as a way to get all of my problems physically out of my head. Usually once I see my problem neatly laid out on paper (usually in the form of a poem) I can find a way to worth through the problem. Ishmael used writing as a way to bring himself back into a time when he was happy, when everything was right. He was able to rediscover his "childhood that was almost lost." When I write the ideas, thoughts, my worries, just all my emotions just flow onto the page. Most of the time I don't know what I'm going to write about until it is there in front of me. I find that writing helps me fix my problems by first showing me what they are.

Writing can be used in many different ways, but there has a way that could help anyone. Writing can either take you back to a time that you wish you could return to, or it can take you to a place you wish you could go to. Writing can just take you away. Writing can bring you peace, it can clear your head, and it can make almost everything better, even if it is just a little bit. Writing is a great took to start the healing process. My personal writing has saved me mentally from many situations. It has freed my mind.

Reflection 2
On Way Gone was written by a college student about his life, mostly of when he was a young child. Many people have a hard time regarding this material as truth. They don't believe that one would be able to remember that much in that much detail. These people will admit that the horrible events did actually take place, but aren't sure if ever detail is correct. They wonder how much we can actually trust what we read.

There are certain events in a person's life that they can't forget. Even if they would like to, it is imprinted on their minds. The events that Ishmael discourses are those very types of events. How could a person forget that? He tries to block them out, but over and over again he tells us about the dreams he has from his days in the army. He will never be able to fully recover from what he suffered. Ishmael also talks about a time when his father would give him something special that was supposed to help their memories for their tests in class. Ishmael isn't sure it actually worked, but he talks about how he could remember everything almost as if it were a "photograph" in his mind. Ishmael has a very wonderful memory; I especially don't feel like he could forget such dramatic and horrific events as the ones he suffered through as a boy soldier.

I feel that we should regard memoirs such A Long Way Gone as truth. We should keep in mind that some of the edges of memory fade over time; some little detail may have slightly changed, but that the whole story as a whole is true. We need to look at all the information we receive critically, but honestly. Look at the reason the book, passage, lecture, or memoir was written.

Reflection 3
By Way Gone makes us view war in a way none of us wish to. We have all seen war portrayed in movies, in the media and books, mostly from an outside perspective. This powerful book makes us look at war from the eyes of one scared boy participating it in. He is forced to participate just to survive. We see it from a whole new set of eyes. He doesn't sugar coat the situation, making it seem better then it is. He just tells us straight out what he saw and what he felt. Through Ishmael's eye's we see inhumanity towards other men, suffering of the innocent, and what all this fighting can do each person.

Ishmael was taught to kill in cold blood. He was taught not to look at the person and decide with compassion, but to just look at the situation. They taught him the situation was desperate and the only way to survive would be to obliterate the competition. They gave him no hope for a compromise. It was their way or death.

If I was placed in this kind of situation I would have a hard time. I would have a huge struggle against my will to be able to just take a human life with no thought behind it. I would personally think about it to much. Ishmael and the other soldiers just saw the rebels as something in the way of their goal, something to be destroyed, not as another human being. They had that thought imprinted so deeply in their mind some never could get it out.

My future aspiring dramatically affected if I had been forced into that sort of conflict. I would never be able to get those imagines out of my head. I wouldn't know how to move on with life. Ishmael found a way to be happy. I would struggle with the memories of the pain I had caused. Ishmael was strong because he found a way he could live again.

Reflection 4

Ishmael's friend began to ask him about his past. They asked if he had "attestor] some of the fighting." He replied, "Everyone in the country did." They asked him, "You mean you saw people running around with guns and shooting each other?" He told them that he saw that "all the time." His friend thought that was "cool." Ishmael then smiled to himself about what they thought.

People have a tendency to glamorize things such a war and fighting. I'm sure that if Ishmael's friends read this book and saw it through the eyes of one that had actually participated in the fighting they would feel differently. They would have to see the pain and destruction that something they thought was "cool" caused.

Everything in someone's past helps to shape their future; whether ie for good or for bad is up to them. Your past helps shape your future. You can let your past either build you and your future into something you want, or you can let it destroy all you have worked for. It's all up to you. You can't change your past. You can only change how you will let it affect your future. There are some things you need hold close and cherish, and other things you need to leave behind. Every person is different and what they need is unique.

We have the ability to be whoever and whatever we wish to become. We're the master painter sitting before his pearly canvas. Our past is the brush, we have the choice where it moves and how it moves. The paint is our future. It is new and slowly starts to show the grand picture. We have to decide how we want our painting to turn out. What we have done can't be redone, but we can use it to shape the picture into something beautiful. We have the capacity to create wonderful beautiful creations. We just have to believe, be brave enough to pick up the paint brush.

Reflection 5

Ishmael addressed music when he needed something. He let it touch him and take him away from everything. Ishmael had a passion for Rap music. He had a love for the stories behind the music. He let the music take over his mind and body. He loved to just sing and dance to the beat.

Music has always been a huge influence in my life. Whether I was playing or listening it has always touched my soul. Music is and so full of expression and emotion. It has a way to say exactly what I was feeling without me knowing it. There is always music for every situation and mood. Whether I need to listen to beautiful inspiring music while I was writing, something that told a story full of emotion and wonder with out the use of words; or need something with a little more spirit behind it to lift me out a funk, music is there. I have never been left alone when I could find music. There has always been something there when I needed it.

VARIATION IN TACTICS

 1. Sun Tzu said: In war, the general receives
  his commands from the sovereign, collects his army
  and concentrates his forces

 2. When in difficult country, do not encamp. In country
  where high roads intersect, join hands with your allies. 
  Do not linger in dangerously isolated positions. 
  In hemmed-in situations, you must resort to stratagem. 
  In desperate position, you must fight.

 3. There are roads which must not be followed,
  armies which must be not attacked, towns which must
  be besieged, positions which must not be contested,
  commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed.

 4. The general who thoroughly understands the advantages
  that accompany variation of tactics knows how to handle
  his troops.

 5. The general who does not understand these, may be well
  acquainted with the configuration of the country, yet he
  will not be able to turn his knowledge to practical account.

 

Nest Eggs

Birds all the summer day
  Flutter and quarrel
Here in the arbour-like
  Tent of the laurel.

Here in the fork
  The brown nest is seated;
For little blue eggs
  The mother keeps heated.

While we stand watching her
  Staring like gabies,
Safe in each egg are the
  Bird's little babies.

Soon the frail eggs they shall
  Chip, and upspringing
Make all the April woods
  Merry with singing.

Younger than we are,
  O children, and frailer,
Soon in the blue air they'll be,
  Singer and sailor.

We, so much older,
  Taller and stronger,
We shall look down on the
  Birdies no longer.

My Shadow

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow--
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes goes so little that there's none of him at all.

He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close behind me, he's a coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

FIVE THINGS YOU MUST DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN MAIL-ORDER.

A mail-order business is a great business to start, either part-time or 
full-time. It's exciting, because it's always changing, and it can be very 
profitable, if run correctly. One important thing to remember, though, is 
that mail-order businesses are easy to start, but take work to maintain.  

Don't believe the hype you hear about making millions overnight in mail-order. It's happened to a few lucky fools, but that's about it. You have to use your head in mail-order, if you want to survive.  
There are five extremely crucial rules to remember when running a mail-order business. You still won't be guaranteed success, but it will be a whole lot easier, if you follow 
these rules.

1) EXPLORE FREE AND LOW COST MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES.  
  Too many people jump into a mail-order business with an expensive, 
  flashy full-page ad in a big magazine. That's great IF it's successful, 
  but what do you do when your ad only pulls enough orders to cover it's 
  cost, and you have no marketing budget left for new ads? Lick your 
  wounds, and close down your business.  
  The smart thing to do at the start (and throughout your mail-order career)
  is to take advantage of all the free and low cost marketing options at your 
  fingertips.  
  You say you don't know about any? Well, here are some ideas. 
  Send a sample of your product along with a press release to the products
  reviewers at the magazines your customers read. Also, write a short article about a 
  subject or issue that will interest your potential customers and that 
  has a connection to the product you sell, and submit it to those same 
  magazines.  
  For example, if you sell bass fishing lures, write an article 
  on the best times of the day for bass fishing. 
  Offer to talk about the subject on radio or TV talk shows regarding this subject.
  Cable TV, in particular, has plenty of talk shows with specific audiences that are 
  desperately in need of guests.
  In all of these instances, include a short paragraph with information on 
  how to contact you and a general description of the products or services 
  you sell. Offer your articles or expertise for free, in return for this 
  paragraph either appearing at the end of your article, or being read 
  after the interview.
  Marketing yourself as an expert in your business will get you far more 
  publicity than placing an expensive ad, and it's virtually free, except 
  for your time, a few stamps and a few phone calls. It works for me, 
  and I know it can work for you.

The Wind and the Sun

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger.
Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun
said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can
cause that traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as
the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and
the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller.
But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his
cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair.
Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the
traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

Kindness effects more than severity.

The Frog and the Ox

"Oh Father," said a little Frog to the big one sitting by the
side of a pool, "I have seen such a terrible monster! It was as
big as a mountain, with horns on its head, and a long tail, and it
had hoofs divided in two."

"Tush, child, tush," said the old Frog, "that was only Farmer
White's Ox. It isn't so big either; he may be a little bit taller
than I, but I could easily make myself quite as broad; just you
see." So he blew himself out, and blew himself out, and blew
himself out. "Was he as big as that?" asked he.

"Oh, much bigger than that," said the young Frog.

Again the old one blew himself out, and asked the young one if
the Ox was as big as that.

"Bigger, father, bigger," was the reply.

So the Frog took a deep breath, and blew and blew and blew,
and swelled and swelled and swelled. And then he said: "I'm sure
the Ox is not as big asBut at this moment he burst.

Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction.

STRIP-O-GRAM Singing Telegram With A Twist

A stripping telegram is nothing more than a more mature, slightly 
provocative version of the singing telegram. Other than sing, the talents 
who deliver a stripping telegram dance and strip in front of their audience.

Some strips end while the "talent" still wears underwear. Other strips go 
either tipless or totally nude - an issue more sensitive with female rather 
than with male talents.

All told, a stripping telegram features a male or female modelwho dances 
and strips while delivering the telegram message to the intended recipient.

THE AGENT 
The entrepreneur offering this service is usually known as an agent. The 
business is generally referred to as an agency or delivery service.

It is common for the agent/entrepreneur to operate the business him or 
herself, usually answering phone calls for bookings and from talents looking 
for work. Agencies do not have full-time staff. If any, it would be limited 
to a receptionist who takes care of the booking and scheduling of the 
talents.

THE PAY SCALE 
Talents work on commission basis only. They usually deal with two or more 
agencies in the area, a practice that usually guarantee that they keep busy. The rate a talent is paid depend largely on the ex
tent of stripping their showcase entail.
  Here is a sample rate chart showing what customers pay and how much the 
  talent makes. (A) is what the client will pay for the showcase, and (B) 
  is what you would pay the talent.  
  The difference would bwe your profit.

FORMAT A B 
Undies $60 $30 
Topless $90 $50 
Nude $125 $75

  In more affluent markets, the rates may be up to 50% more than 
  this average. Plus, on top of their share, talents also get tips, 
  usually 20% to 30% of the standard rates.


THE BUSINESS 
An agency's overhead expenses are usually confined to office rental, 
telephone lines, and some form of advertising, the most common of which is 
the Yellow Pages. With an average of 6 to 7 bookings a day, an agency can 
earn $200 tp $300 a day.
   Licensing may be expensive if not difficult. Consult your city zoning for 
futher details pertaining to this type of business.

finances reorganized

During periods of high inflation, most people have to "tighten their belts," and watch their expenditures a bit more closely. After all, buying on credit and attempting to spend more than you have coming in is a sure-fire road to financial ruin.



 In order to live within your income - keep the bill collectors off your back - and not really lower your accustomed standard of living, this report is made up of a number of proven ideas to help you.



 One of the first things you should do is take write out a budget. You do this by listing your total take home income on one piece of paper, and all of your regular monthly obligations on another piece of paper. A good idea is to set up a separate envelope for each of your bills - use the envelopes from your incoming mail for these, marking on the front of each envelope what it's for.



 There should be an envelope for your mortgage or rent payment, for any payments to loan companies, and of course your charge cards, for your groceries, your lights, heat, water and telephone costs. Then, as you get paid, cash your check and divide the money you have into each envelope. If you're "strung out pretty tight," you may have to contact each of your creditors with a request to lower your payments, and extend them over a longer payback period. If after making out your budget - and actually seeing on paper how much money you've got to pay your bills - this is necessary, then by all means get in to talk with your creditors. Tell them about your situation; explain to them that you've taken a look at your income/outgo situation, and have devised a plan and work with you in everyone off. In almost all instances, they'll welcome your plan and work with you in every way possible to help you get caught up.



 Probably the biggest area in which you can cut your expenses is with your groceries. To do this, always make a detailed and itemized list of the things you need before you leave home. Total up the costs and if it goes beyond the amount you want to spend or have to spend, simply go back through your list marking off those things lease necessary. Never go grocery shopping when you're feeling hungry!



 When making up your list of groceries to buy, always check your local newspaper for best buys - if you've had to discontinue newspaper delivery - check your local post office about midweek and you'll find "grocery shoppers' supplements" stacked up by people who don't want them. Go through your papers with a fine tooth comb and compare prices. Shop at the "no frills" stores, the "food barns" and liquidation sales.



 By all means, clip out the "cents off" and refund coupons. Keep a sharp eye out at all times for these coupons and use them - if they're for brands or items that you don't want to use, offer to trade them with people who want them.



 It almost goes without saying that when you're trying to watch your expenses, you'll have to give up snacks and eating out. Instead of buying a candy bar to munch on as you walk through the store, buy a bag of apples and take one with you from home. Instead of eating out once a week, cut it down to once a month and make it a real reward for having lived within your budget for the preceding month.



 With your cooking, prepare more of your meals from scratch instead of serving processed, pre-cooked or hear and serve meals. Save your foil/transparent plastic wrap - just wash it and use it again. Use paper towels or do without napkins. Use bread wrappers and save those place containers - just wash and use them for keeping leftovers. Use washable cloth handkerchiefs instead of expensive facial tissue.



 Clothing is another area in which most people can save. Instruct everyone in your family that there won't be anymore new clothes purchases until you've got your finances reorganized - instruct them to learn to value and take care of the clothes they have - make them last longer. Learn to sew on buttons, repair ripped seams, and sew on patches. Never throw anything away - if something becomes outgrown or no longer wanted, save it for a garage sale or trade for something you can use at a second hand store.



 Learn all you can about auto upkeep and minor repairs. Visit your public library and explore what is available that you can use to learn how to "do-it-yourself" instead of having to pay someone to do it for you. Talk with your relatives, neighbors and co-workers about swapping services - you do little odd jobs for them in exchange for their doing things for you that you either can't or don't want to do.



 Save and sell all materials that can be recycled such as aluminum, bottles and paper. Don't splurge on gifts - either at Christmas or on birthdays. Think of things you can either make yourself or trade for - often-times a handmade card is a gift-enough when times are tough.



 And finally, don't go shopping at the big advertised sales if you don't have the cash in hand to buy a needed item. A savings of $50 on an item that puts you $50 in debt is no savings at all. At the bottom line, before you buy anything, ask yourself if you "really" have to have it! - and act€

AUTO TUNE-UP

QUICK IN & OUT AUTO TUNE-UPS... Low cost, guaranteed...
 We pick up and deliver... Call Jim at 123-4567

 Place a similar ad or notice on all the bulletin boards in your area. To drum up business and get the ball rolling, you could even elicit customers via telephone. Simply start calling people out of the phone book. Tell them that your shop is offering a change-of-season special on auto tune-ups - in and out in less than an hour for $5, plus parts, which usually run less than $10, and then ask them if they'd like for you to pick up and
deliver their car this afternoon or evening.

 Another way of managing, building, and promoting your business is via the service stations and auto parts stores in your area. Have posters or signs painted, advertising your "quick in-and-out" tune-up service. Take them around to all the service stations that don't handle auto repairs, and to the auto parts stores, and ask them to put your signs in their windows.

 The next thing would be to hand out your business cards wherever you go and to everybody you meet. Give a handful to your friends, and ask them to write their name on the back of the cards and hand them out for you. You could promise them a dollar or two for every customer who brings in a card with their name on it. You'll be quite pleasantly surprised at how fast your business will grow when you take advantage of these promotional methods.

 Still another idea is to have advertising circulars made up. Pay some junior high school students to hand them out at busy shopping centers on weekends, especially after the first cold snap or hot spell of the year. If you live in a large metropolitan area, leave off stacks at your downtown parking lots and get the lot attendants to hand them out as the people pay their parking fees.

 You should be able to trade tune-up work for free radio advertising, especially after or during any change in the weather. This kind of advertising should work very well for you, so plan on it and use it at those times when people are most likely to be thinking about a tune-up.

 You can set this business up very simply and operate it according to the sophisticated time-saving methods of the highly capitalized franchised operations.

 This means an electronic check of the ignition system and scientific diagnosis of the engine. Check with the auto parts and tools distributors in your area. They should be able to steer you the national manufacturers or suppliers of the equipment you need.

 Here's how to buy the equipment: Decide upon a supplier explain your business plan to him. Tell him you want to finance the cost of the equipment through your local bank with him as your co-signer. Get the bank to draw up the papers, make a layout of
your shop and equipment with the help of your supplier, and that's all there is to it.

 After you've electronically checked the ignition, the next step in your quick tune-up procedure is to replace all parts that aren't operating properly. This usually means points, condenser and plugs. In some cases, this may include a new rotor, distributor cap, fuel filter, air cleaner and maybe spark plug wires. Be hesitant to suggest extras beyond the basics until your business is established. Spray some chemical cleaning fluid into and on the carburetor, start the engine, set the timing, make any necessary adjustments - and the job is complete. You charge the customer about $10 for parts, (or according to your cost) plus $5 for labor, and you should be on your way to a good income.

 As you become established, and as your customers gain confidence in your work, you'll be able to suggest and sell them such things as new batteries, battery cables, starters, voltage regulators, alternators and sometimes even generators - when these parts are not working properly and need replacement. It's important that you don't sell, or even allow your customers to buy parts from you that are not really needed for continued trouble-
free operation of their vehicles. Another thing: when you do replace a major piece of equipment on a customer's auto, always schedule the replacement work for a time when you're not handling regular in-and-out tune-up customers. In other words, you might
schedule the replacement of a generator for Monday, after advising the customer of the need on Friday. Suggest that he leave the car with you all day, and pick it up on his way home from work. Or he could stop by on his way to work, and you take him to work,
replacing the generator during the day, and pick him up after work.

 The charge for replacing major engine components such as suggested should be $10 plus the cost of the replacement part. It's also very important that whenever you contract to do this kind of work, you have the work done and the car ready for your
customer at the time you promise him it'll be ready. No one likes to wait around for the completion of work that was promised to be done at a specific time. By completing the work on time, and having your customer's car properly serviced as promised, you'll
build more long-term loyalty than any fancy advertising, "come-on" gimmicks or rock-bottom prices ever offered.

 So the thing to do as you organize your business is to establish accounts - sources of wholesale priced parts - with the major auto parts distributors in your area. You'll want to maintain a general supply of new parts on hand, and not have to worry about paying for them for at least 30 days. In other words , you'll need a cash-flow system that works to your ad vantage .

 Your profit will come from developing a standard routine that allows you to move at least four cars through your shop every hour. Some automotive purists may argue that you're only providing a "pep-up" instead of a tune-up, but let them beat their gums. Give each car the same procedure: an electronic check, new points and condenser, then an engine diagnosis, and collect your fee.

 Talk with your customers. Get to know them and allow them to get to know you. Then when your engine diagnosis indicates a valve job or a new carburetor you can recommend it to them and they'll trust your judgment.

 You, as the operator of a quick tune-up shop, should not volunteer any major mechanical work. Suggest someone whose work you trust. Your customer will appreciate your suggestion and concern. And he'll remain loyal to you for not taking his money and attempting to give him a repair job in an area where you don't specialize.

 After all, you're a tune-up specialist - the guy who knows all there is to know about a car's ignition system - the guy who keeps cars running smoothly. By specializing in a particular area of auto repair, and recommending other specialists as needed, you'll
be able to quickly dispel the skepticism many car owners have for independent auto repair shops in general.

 An assembly line in-and-out operation will reduce the necessary investment for tools, enable you to hire lower-cost workers, and greatly increase your profit potential by eliminating wasted motion. Keep it simple, routine and according to a definite procedure on every car.

 Once you have your business established and a regular following of people who bring their cars to you for regular tune-ups - usually every six months - you can begin thinking about expansion. It's best to hire college students, or "car-crazy" high school students, to work alongside you. Give your customers a chance to recognize and know your help. When you find one who seems to be especially mechanically inclined, take him aside and offer him the title of assistant manager of your shop.

 Teach this young man how you want the business to operate; explain where the profit comes from; and assign more of the actual responsibilities to him. Leave him on his own to run the shop for longer periods of time. Be patient; compliment him on his work;
and if you want him to stay with you, give him a raise now and then, and eventually, a percentage of the profits.

 Offering him a percentage arrangement will result in even greater profits for you, plus a very strong local image for your business. Because you're "giving him" a part of the business, he'll promote your business to his friends, and through him and his friends, a long line of new customers and a chain of loyalty that could become more valuable to your business than any amount of advertising you could buy.

 When you're ready to expand your operation from your garage to a regular commercial location, look for a vacant service station. One of the larger facilities built by a major oil company, located on a strategic corner, will be your best bet.

 So long as you operate out of your garage and on a small scale, you probably won't have to worry too much about licenses. That is, providing you get along well with your neighbors, don't clutter up the street with 5 or 10 cars at a time, and don't erect
any kind of sign indicating you're doing business in a residentially zoned neighborhood.

 However, once you move into a commercial location, you'll need to register the name of your business with the appropriate local government authority. In most states, this is the office of the county clerk.

 If your state has a sales tax, you'll have to check with the state tax commissioner's office to learn the rules on how the collection system operates.

 All these licensing offices are in reality offices for tax collecting. Basically, they know nothing about your business, and usually could care less. Their main reason for existence is simply the collection of money for the administration of government in your area. If they should ask you questions relative to the worth of your business, or how much money you will be taking in, always estimate a much lower figure than either the
true worth or those you anticipate. Most license fees are based upon the investment of the entrepreneur and his anticipated income from the new business, and you certainly don't want to start off paying excess taxes.

 A good eye-catching sign is vital to the success of any business in a commercial location. The most important requirement for you is visibility. Your sign should be big enough and tall enough for people to see it from several different directions at a distance of at least a half block away. Check with your city ordinances for the sign limitations in the location you select.

 Secondly, your sign should immediately state the service you're offering. Hence, a sign that clearly and simply announces "Auto Tune-ups" fits this requirement. However, in order to attract customers into your shop, your sign should "promise" a benefit. It should describe an added benefit to the reader. So, your sign should read: "Rapid Auto Tune-Up!"

 Basically, that's all you'll need for a sign, but to "fill it out" you might come up with a special logo or business motto. You can probably get an art student at your local college to design something for little more than the privilege of including it in his or her portfolio. For a business slogan or motto, something along the lines of "Better performance from your car, at a price you can afford," is the kind of thing you want to come up with, and that will do you the most good.

 Remember, fast, efficient service and low prices, coupled with a personality that makes the customer feel you're his friend, are the keys to your success. Organize yourself; start slowly and build your customer loyalty; instill these principles in your employees, and you'll be on your way.

FOR QUICK, EASY MONEY!

 Pick almost any city or town in the country, drive through any middle class neighborhood or residential area on the weekend, and you're sure to spot at least a half dozen garage sales.

 What's being sold at these garage sales? The accumulated "junk" people no longer use or want taking up space in or around their homes. Are they making any money with these garage sales? You'd better believe they're making money! It's not at all uncommon to make $600 with a weekend garage sale. Is it hard to put on a profitable garage sale? Well, yes and no. It really does take some of your time, and also requires an awareness of a few merchandising tactics. But the problems in running a successful garage sale are small in comparison to the profits.

 Who are the buyers, and how do you get them to come to your garage sale? Your customers are going to be "everybody," and you get them over to your garage sale with a little bit of advertising and promotion.

 Let's look at the background: Everybody accumulates the kind of garage sale items that other people are searching for, and are willing to buy. These items range from no longer wanted or outgrown items of clothing, to furniture, tools, knick-knacks, books, pictures and toys. Many garage sale items are objects of merchandise purchased on impulse, and later found to be not what the buyer wanted. He discovered too late that he really didn't have a use for it, or he no longer has a need for it. Many items found at garage sales are gifts that have been given to the seller, but are the wrong size or incorrect choice for the recipient.

 The problem with most people is that they haven't the time to gather up all the items "just taking up space" in and around their homes and staging a garage sale to get rid of them. Many people don't know how to stage a garage sale, and many other people feel
that putting on a garage sale is just too much bother and work.

 This is where you enter the picture. Your enterprise will be an ongoing garage sale of items donated and collected from these people who lack the inclination to put on garage sales of their own.

 Step one is education: Spend a few weeks visiting all the garage sales, swap meets and flea markets in your area. Find out what's being offered for sale, what people are buying, and how the merchandise is being sold. Generally an item is tagged with a price, but the seller is open to almost any reasonable offer from the customer. Another thing you want to make mental note of is the way the merchandise is displayed, and how the customers are allowed to browse.

 You start your own garage sale by cleaning out your own basement, attic, closets and garage. Talk to your relatives and friends; tell them what you're going to do and ask them for donations of no-longer used or unwanted items. It's here that you'll get your first experience in negotiating, and finally, an agreement for you to display and sell other people's merchandise for a percentage of the sales price. You'll find people explaining that they really don't have a use for a specific item or they really don't want to keep storing it, but because of sentimental reasons, "just hate to give it away."

 Once you've had a little experience with this type of seller, you will be able to advertise in the newspaper that you buy garage sale items, or take them on consignment for a percentage of the final sales price.

 It's best that your wife handle the garage sale itself - greets the potential customers, "shows them around," and generally engages them in conversation. If it's a woman staging the garage sale, then arrangements should be made to have an other woman "mind the store" while she's out digging up more items for sale.

 The advertising angle is really quite simple, and shouldn't cost very much either. You should run an ad in your area shopper's newspaper for about three days in advance of, and up through the day of your sale. Once you're operating on a full time, every-day-of-the-week schedule, you'll want to change your ad schedule and the style of your advertising. But in getting started, go with small classified ads simply announcing your garage sale, emphasizing that you've got something of interest to everyone - everything from A to Z. To get ideas on how to write your ad, check your news pa per for a week or so; cut out all the garage sale ads you can find; paste them up on a piece of paper. Then, with a bit of critical analysis, you'll be able to determine how to write a good ad of your own by determining the good and the bad in the ads you've collected. Something to remember: The bigger and better your sale, the bigger and bet ter your "getting started" ads should be. And the secret to outstanding garage sale profits is in having the widest or largest selection of merchandise.

 You should have made an old-fashioned "sandwich board" sign to display in front of your house when your garage sale is open for business. This will pull in your neighbors, if you haven't already informed them, and attract the people driving by. Sand
wich boards are sometimes set out at key traffic intersections not far from the site of the garage sale, to attract attention and point the way. (Check local ordinances to see if this is
permitted in your area.)

 Another "sign idea" practiced by a few really sharp operators is the old "Burma Shave" roadside pointers. Here, you simply take a few cute sayings in verse (or one-liners), write on pieces of cardboard and tack onto the power poles at about 200 yard
intervals on a thoroughfare leading to your garage sale. You'll create a lot of traffic for yourself! Simply visit the public library and check out a book on limericks, adapt the ones you find humorous, and start making signs. One word he re though: Be sure to check your local ordinances before you start nailing signs to power poles. 

 By all means, search out and use all the free bulletin boards in your area. It's better, and usually much more profitable, to take the time to make up an attention grabbing circular you can post on these bulletin boards than just using a written 3 by 5
card announcement.

 To do this, pick up some "transfer lettering," go through your newspapers and old magazines for interesting illustrations, graphics and pictures, then with a little bit of imagination, make up an 8 1/2 by 11 poster-type announcement of y our sale. When you've got it pasted up, take it to any quick print shop and have them print up 50 to 100 copies for you. The cost should not come to more than six or seven dollars.

 If you make this "circular/poster" up with versatility and long-time usage in mind, you can use it over and over again, simply by pasting on a new date. In case you were puzzled when we talk about "pasting," this is simply pasting another piece of paper onto the overall page. Say you have a circular with a date of Wednesday, March 1st, and want to change it to read Thursday, July 16th. Rather than do the whole thing over, simply write out the new date with your transfer letters on a separate sheet of paper, cut out to fit in the space occupied by the old date, and paste the new date over the old date. A good paste to use for this purpose is rubber cement. That's all there is to it; the printer does the rest.

 Now let's talk about the "inside secrets" of drawing people into your sale, and the merchandising "gimmicks" that will result in the maximum sales and profits for you. First, call attention to your sale. Don't be shy, bashful or self-conscious about letting everybody for miles about know that you're having a garage sale. Some sharp operators do the next best thing to having the Goodyear blimp overhead: They rent miniature blimps, send them up above the housetops, and tether them there on their sale days. Of course this giant balloon or miniature blimp has some sort of sign on the side of it, inviting people to your garage sale! This is one of the strongest available advertising ideas for pulling "traffic" to a sale of any kind. For more details, write to Pie-In-The-Sky Company, PO Box 5267, San Mateo, CA 94402.

 You have to give your sale some flair. Put some posts up across the front of your property and run some twisted crepe paper between them. Even better than crepe paper, run brightly colored ribbons. Invest in some colorful pennants and fly them from temporary flag poles. And don't forget the balloons!

 Make your garage sale a fun kind of event with clusters of balloons anchored to your display tables and racks. Be sure to "float" them well above the heads of your customers as they are browsing through your merchandise displays.

 Cover your display tables with colorful cloths. Don't hesitate to use bright colors with busy patterns. Regardless of what you sell, effective display is still predominantly essential!

 You cannot "dump" items haphazardly on a table, sit down, and expect to realize great profits. The people doing the most business - making the most sales - are the ones with interesting displays, action and color.

 Try to have as wide a selection of colors as possible in your clothing racks, and mix them for a rainbow effect. Make sure that your jewelry items shine and sparkle. Arrange them in and with jewelry boxes, jewelry ladders and other items sold for the purpose of showing off jewelry while keeping it neatly organized. We know of one lady who regularly arranges jewelry items in a battery operated lazy susan. Seeing this jewelry slowly turning on the lazy susan never fails to draw attention.

 Think about it, and then study the methods of display used by "rack jobbers" in the stores in your area. These are the wire racks that usually hold card packaged items. This kind of display rack would lend itself beautifully for anchoring a cluster of balloons. Keep these things in mind, and build your individual displays as part of the whole; make it pleasing to the eye as well as convenient for your customers to browse through and select the items that appeal to them.

 Look for some kind of interesting and unusual item to call attention to your sale - something you can set up or park in front of your home during your sale. Some of the displays we've seen along these lines include a horse-drawn surrey, a restored Model T, an old farm plow. But anything of an unusual and interesting nature will do the trick for you. One couple we know put up a display using a manikin dressed in an old-time farm bonnet, long dress and apron. The display depicted a farm woman of old, washing clothes with a scrub board and two steel wash tubs. You have to believe this drew crowds and made people talk!

 Wherever your imagination takes you, you have to be different and distinctive, or you'll get lost in the hundreds of garage sales going on all around you. If you'll take the time to employ a bit of imagination and set your sales up with the kind of flair we've been talking about, you'll not just draw the crowds, you'll end up being the one holding the most profits.

 It's almost a compulsion of many women to go shopping, to search for interesting and sometimes rare and valuable items. This fact alone will keep you as busy as you'll ever want to be - staging and holding garage sales. The market is so vast, and the appetite so varied, that anything from a brass bedstead to a used diary of somebody's long-for-gotten grandmother will sell, and sell fast at garage sales. Put it all together, use a little imagination, and you'll easily make all the money you want!and have them print up 50 to 100 copies for you. The cost should not come to.

Geriatric Care Managers Explained

What They Do

Geriatric Care Managers are professional advocates who help seniors and their caregivers lead the highest possible quality of life. Trained in any of a number of fields related to long-term care, the GCM acts as your guide, primarily identifying problems and offering solutions. GCMs are trained to recognize telltale signs in your loved one that indicate specific needs-signs that are clear to trained professionals, but which you may not be able to recognize yourself. GCMs can be hired to help you in times of crisis, should you need respite or as the full-time point of contact for all senior care services.

What to Expect

GCMs begin the process by conducting a comprehensive care assessment of the senior to determine his or her needs. The objective of an assessment is to draft a plan of care, which is based on the health, social, emotional and physical needs of that person.

GCMs often work with other long-term care professionals to coordinate as few or as many services as are necessary to meet the specific needs of your loved one. The services a GCM provides include screening, arranging and monitoring the services your loved one requires; preserving financial resources by helping you avoid inappropriate placements and duplicated services; intervening in a crisis; counseling and supporting; educating and advocating; and much more. The GCM will continue to monitor care on an ongoing basis, and will modify the care plan when appropriate.

Paying for Geriatric Care Managers

Geriatric care management is strictly private pay as Medicare, Medigap, Managed Care, Medicaid and LTCI do not cover the service. Read a detailed description of all types of reimbursements.

Veterans Benefits

What It Covers

While Veterans Benefits do not cover geriatric care management, they do cover Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM), a similar service that includes a comprehensive assessment of the veteran's physical, medical and emotional needs. The objective of the assessment is to build a customized plan of care that may include a combination of treatment, rehabilitation and social services.

How to Spot a Guinness Air Bubble

It was a well know fact that the Blowers in Waterford Crystal Ireland had a really tough job. The heat in the Blowing Department reached temperatures in excess of 110 degrees. Some of the counter measures to combat this predicament were salt tablets. This would keep body fluids from building up and would bring much relief to these extraordinary artisans. This would also save their wives from doing laundry with extra fabric softeners. The result was softer shorts, which gave a element of comfort to these fine craftsmen of the now bankrupt Waterford Crystal in Ireland.

In those days, air-conditioning was unheard of and the next best relief available was an open window, a big fan turning at a high rate of speed to circulate the air, or a head/sweat band to stop the moisture from stinging the eyes, which could result in crystal pieces being deformed. Shirts were not allowed to be taken off, but on the real hot days the Supervisors overlooked it. Water fountains were spread throughout the factory floor which was a must have on the lazy warm days of summer. Other ways to beat the heat were to have liquid lunches at the local watering establishments.

Air Bubbles, also known as Smithwicks, Phoenix, Harp and Guinness bubbles, were formed in a lot of the crystal pieces that the blowers created. The Guinness bubbles were the largest and gave the cutters the most problems. It was up to the Master Cutter on the bench to determine what species the bubble was and to act accordingly to remove the air from the bubble. Special wheels called the GB Blaster were used frequently, where the cutter would have to wear a special oxygen mask to eliminate the hot air created by the Guinness formation. Many an American visitor, while taking the factory tour, was heard commenting on how happy the Blowers were. One of the favorite songs heard resonating in harmony with perfect pitch each day after lunch was "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles"

White Wine Making

The term white wine does not necessarily refer to the color of the grapes used. White wine can be made from red or even very dark colored grapes. What is important is that the fleshy part which is clear in appearance is separated or has limited contact with the skin during juicing to ensure that a clear juice is produced.

Winemaking, also called vinification refers to the production of wines. There are three basic steps in winemaking: preparation, fermentation and maturation.

Preparation

Grapes are carefully picked from the vineyard. It is important that they are picked at the right age and at the right time, this ensures that the chemical composition of the fruit is in the right balance. Such factors contribute in t he production of a good wine.

After picking, the grapes are cleaned and checked for bruises. Bruised grapes are then set aside, they are no longer suitable to make wine. All skins, seeds and stems are removed before juicing. The result, a clear juice perfect for making white wine.

Fermentation

This is the process of adding live yeast to the juice. The yeast turns the sugar content of the juice into alcohol. Fermentation may last for three to four weeks.

Maturation

Also known as aging, this is the process of storing wine to further develop its flavor and aroma. Wines can be stored in barrels, steel vats or directly in bottles. The important thing is that wines are stored away from sunlight.

Wilshire Corridor

Where to get the best condominium lifestyle?

Wilshire Corridor is not called the Golden Mile for nothing. Another popular portion within Los Angeles' world-famous entertainment district, the Wilshire Corridor is known for its line of ultra-modern, luxury condominiums, which make up its fantastic skyline. And for this alone, many up and coming Hollywood stars dream of leasing a luxury condo on the Wilshire Corridor.

The Wilshire Corridor stretches from the western part of Westwood Village, all the way to the east of the street where the Los Angeles Country Club, slicing the area between Beverly Hills and Westwood Village. These days, the Wilshire Corridor is known for being the center of the hip and happening Los Angeles condo lifestyle-stylish, chic, and modern.

Those who are leasing a luxury condo on the Corridor probably didn't know that the Corridor's reputation for being the site of luxurious condominium complexes did not come about until the middle of 1970s. Before then, the stretch of the Wilshire Boulevard mostly housed small apartment complexes. Apartments mushroomed until there were no more spaces for additional buildings left. After which, developers moved on to establishing high-rise condominiums from Ground Zero. The highest condominium buildings back then towered up to 27 floors.

As an offshoot of the condominium developments going on in the area, the Wilshire-Westwood Scenic Corridor Specific Plan was drafted and approved in February 1981. The plan addressed such concerns as the density of the developments, landscape issues and easements of light and view. The plan also regulated subsequent developments to only 75 feet high or a total of six floors, except for special developments that are subject to approval. Among these special exemptions were the LaTour, which was topped off in 1990 and has 73 units spread out over all 21 floors, and the Wilshire, completed the following year and has 95 units in its 27 floors.

For many of the residents, leasing a luxury condo on the Corridor is a signal that one has "arrived" in the social scene. Living in the Wilshire Corridor is indeed the best condominium lifestyle that you can ever get. The standard amenities that come with leasing a luxury condo on the Wilshire Corridor put premium on comfort and convenience in the most luxurious way.

Leasing a luxury condo on the Wilshire Corridor is also a better option for singles or new couples who want a taste of the luxurious LA life without having to spend on a Sunset Boulevard mansion. Aside from cost savings, condominium living also provides residents with better amenities and more aggressive security.

High Resolution Video Surveillance

Every night the evening news shows just how bad video surveillance can be as we watch a recording of the local store being robbed at gunpoint. Most of the video we see is so bad its hard to determine the physical characteristic of the bad guy due to low resolution analog cameras. How many times have you wondered why you see such poor quality video being displayed on your HD TV? IP Megapixel technology will change video security from a low-resolution, poor quality video to high definition quality that is changing the video security industry.

We see great results on television programs showing camera recordings that rival HD television cameras, so why is this technology not available to every retail and business requiring some form of video surveillance? Today its not available at a reasonable cost, but it will soon be availble to the masses as IP Megapixel technology becomes standard camera requirements, and the cost of IP Megapixel CCTV comes down in price. Basically the cameras will be digital IP instead of analog composite signals. Digital IP cameras are fast emerging and costs should drastically decrease as more products coe to the market. It can't happen soon enough.

Video surveillance technology is dominated by analog cameras. With analog cameras comes low resolution and the inability to digitally zoom the recorded video with any real success. With the new IP Megapixel Video Cameras coming to the market, the video surveillance business is changing rapidly both technically and at a business level.

We have had for several years, Megapixel still-shot and video cameras. We can record quality high resolution pictures and video, and better yet perform post-recording editing such as digital zoom and cropping. Why is video surveillance technology behind on this technology? Why can't a video camera take a record a broad view of a business retail counter and if necessary, zoom in to details such as faces and transaction details? Due to the limitaions of analog cameras this has been a burden for video security installers and customers alike.

IP Megapixel cameras are measured by the number of pixels on the screen (resolution). Compared to typical analog systems with less than 640x480 resolution, Megapixel Cameras at 3MB have a resolution of 2048 x 1540 and a 6 Megapixel Video Surveillance will provide 2830 x 2800 resolution. Basically the smaller the dots on the screen, and the more dots on the screen provide the ability for Digital Zoom to maintain a quality picture. In analog cameras with 500 or so TV Lines, digital zooming brings fuzzy video and poor quality images.

Bed Wetting

It can be a frustrating journey for parents seeking a handling for bed wetting in children. There are quite a few different methods out there for treating bed wetting, and being well informed before committing a lot of time or expense to a particular treatment will serve you well.
One of the more heavily advertised treatments is a moisture alarm. This could come in the form of special pants or a pad for the mattress. The sensor on the moisture alarm will send a wireless signal to a receiver usually kept by the parents who will quickly wake up the child when moisture is detected. This method has some workability, however it does have a high relapse rate and therefore the treatment needs to be repeated as many times as necessary.

Another treatment for bed wetting in children would be in the form of synthetic hormones that are designed to mimic the hormones that regulate bladder control at night. This method has had some proven success, however it needs to be administered and monitored by a doctor, and many parents may be wary of giving hormones to their children. Similarly, antidepressants are sometimes prescribed for bed wetting in children. These drugs are risky in that they have known side effects.

Investing in a Sure-Thing

There is a common tendency, in times of economic down-turn and uncertainty, to look for the 'sure-thing' - something that can put fears to rest and help reduce anxiety. In such times, individuals with high self-confidence and self-esteem thrive and prosper by capitalizing on the lack of inspired competition. While everyone is looking for ways of cutting back and reducing overall costs, it is important to remember that though times may be tough now, it is critical that we continue to invest - both time and money - in the things that will endure long beyond the recession, namely, our families and personal relationships.

With enough negative information in the media surrounding the state of the global economy and the same message often being echoed in the workplace, now more than ever, we need to draw our strength and confidence from the people closest to us. The home is our refuge. It is also a place to get re-energized and inspired; to give love and receive love. While it is easy to get wrapped up with resume writing, social networking, job-fairs and head-hunters, we need to make time for each other. This time, however we chose to spend it, is invaluable to all our other aspirations.

The boost to one's feeling of self-worth, acceptance and value as a human being received at home will propagate and permeate all other aspects of our life. A positive sense of self will translate to a more upright posture, greater tendency to smile, a firmer handshake, a confident 'can-do' attitude and the belief that I have value to your organization, company or enterprise and you will miss out if I walk out of here because I can make it happen: I'm a sure thing.

Great Children's Party!

If you are planning your child's birthday party, and want it to be an extra special party this year, why not follow these different tips, and ideas, which will help your child have the best birthday party ever.

The best way to get your child really interested and for them to have a great time is to theme the party round an idea, interest, or hobby. This will keep your child interested, and they will have loads of fun, and enjoy a party dedicated to their hobbies and interests. From these ideas it is great to involve your child throughout the organisation of the party, this will keep them even more interested, and excited about the upcoming of the party. Their involvement will help them want to create the best party ever, and they will not go off the idea, or become disinterested, meaning already you are a great success in creating your child's best party ever.

From your chosen themes, the first thing to do is send out themed invitations to the guests. For example if you're having a pirate themed party send out pirate party invitations. This will let them know that they are in for a lot of fun, at an exciting themed party, and make them eager about the approaching party. After this it's time to organise the party, and to think about what the party should involve. You should think about party games and activities, food and drink, venue decorations (to create a playful atmosphere), and the all important party bags, filled with party bag toys, which your child's friends can take home and enjoy, and remember the party for the rest of the day, week, and even month.

Party games and activities are important to your party. Tie this in with your themes, and you will be on to a winner. For example if your child would like a pirate party, why not have treasure hunts with maps, prizes and clues in different rooms. Also buying a few accessories which the children can wear throughout the treasure hunt such as eye patches, and a moustache, this will make them laugh, get excited, and get into character, as pirates. Buying children's party supplies is a great idea to help engage the children. Ask your child if they have any ideas for the party games and activities, they may come up with something completely original, fun, and entertaining.

After all you will be entertaining children of your own Child's age, so anything they choose will generally be the best way to keep everyone entertained, and interested. For decorations and accessories within your activities and party games, it's a great idea to buy these within the theme of your party and you can purchase these cheaply. It's a great idea to have games and party activities finish with a prize or something the children have made which they can take home. Children love to compete, and engage into something which they can complete and take home proudly to show their parents.

After the children have played, it's now a good idea for them to enjoy some food and drink. Again tying this in with the theme is a great way to keep the kids excited. For example if it's a princess and fairies theme, you can buy themed birthday party plates, cups, napkins, banners, party bags, table cloths, balloons, fairy and princess themed food, and sprinkle the table with fairy dust. Perfect. The children will enjoy sitting and eating at the fairy and princess themed table.

Three speedy And gentle Ways To construct A Profitable Opt In List

You eventually realize that you demand a good opt-in name. After reading countless articles and sought expert advices and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their advices to the T and you still weren’t able to make a profit.
In point of fact, you may be losing money. You maybe hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You’ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.

Indeed what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list does not mean they are going to buy instantly.

Hither I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.
1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.

Joint forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good clients. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you're business is all about.

The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not attending buy something out of your recommendation if they don’t know you.

2) discover a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you will be able to carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the customers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.

Although it is true that they are best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits get into. As well provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.

Building a profitable opt-in list don’t just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.
