Rasheed, Leave the Predictions to the Experts
Do you recognize that quote? If you don’t, you should. This is probably the greatest prediction ever made by a player, in a time when player predictions actually meant something. Who is the player, you ask? None other than Joe Namath, predicting the outcome of Super Bowl III. The New York Jets were facing off against the Baltimore Colts and were 10-point underdogs. The brash young QB would follow through on his prediction, winning 1969’s big game 16-7. His boldness was innovative and would be copied time and again throughout sports history by some of the game’s greatest athletes. Recently, however, this trend has gotten a little out of hand.
“I know we goin’ win. I know we goin’ bust they ass. Tomorrow night is the last game here in this building this year. Y’all can quote me, put it back page, front page, whatever.”
Now I know most of you know who this is. It’s Detroit’s Rasheed Wallace giving his usual playoff prediction. This prediction came after a Game Three loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Lebron James. Rasheed was pretty much explaining, in his own crazy language, that the Pistons would defeat the Cavs in Game Four and wrap up the series back home in Game Five. Wallace’s predictions have become so common that writers have coined the phrase ‘guaransheed’ to explain his constant predictions. This is Wallace’s fourth such prediction and there is one problem. The Pistons lost Game Four. This forces me to bring forth the ultimate question; do player predictions mean anything anymore?
I have thought long and hard about this topic and came up with a checklist of sorts to see if this ‘guaransheed’ actually constitutes a meaningful prediction.
First off, if you are trying to be bold and make a prediction, you or your team must be the underdog in the contest.
Nope. Sorry Rasheed, but your team is the heavy favorite to win the NBA Championship. This in no way constitutes the Detroit Pistons as the underdog against the fourth seed Cleveland Cavaliers. No one on this Pistons team should be making any guarantees, unless they find themselves down in a playoff series, and that is very unlikely to happen now.
Second, what does a guarantee mean if the game that is being predicted is not the championship? My answer: absolutely nothing.
You have come up short once again Rasheed. This is the second round of the playoffs, not even the Conference Finals. Save your predictions for that round, or even better, the NBA Finals. A second round prediction, especially when your team is up 2-1 games, means absolutely nothing to me.
Finally, make sure you come through with solid play in the game you made a prediction about. There is nothing more embarrassing than predicting a victory and then having a less than stellar performance. Ask Seahawks TE Jeremy Stevens, he’ll tell you.
Would you believe it that Rasheed falls short once again? I would hardly call 7 points and 3 turnovers a stellar performance. Simply said, Wallace talked the talk but did not walk the walk in Game Four.
So let’s sum up what we have learned today. The Pistons are heavy favorites to win this series, Wallace’s prediction did not come true during an all-important game, and Rasheed had a pretty poor performance in Game Four. To add further insult to injury, the Pistons actually lost the game. Rasheed’s predictions have come to mean absolutely nothing and these types of player predictions have become a real problem. If you can think all the way back to the first round of the playoffs, Ron Artest made a similar bogus prediction, but for different reasons. He predicted the Kings would win the championship; only the Kings were the eighth seed and no one took them seriously. Especially after they lost in round one to the Spurs. Some other athletes actually make predictions just to pump themselves up. A classic example is Joey Porter, the linebacker from the Pittsburg Steelers. Before the 2006 Super Bowl, Porter made all kinds of predictions for the sole purpose of giving his team reasons to win the game. If these predictions and trash talking are the only way to get pumped up for the SuperBowl, you have a serious problem.
I am going to close with one important message to all athletes such as these. Leave the prediction making to the experts and the media. We, like you, might not know what we are talking about, but at least we get paid for it. All your bogus predictions about games that aren’t very significant are just diluting your importance and turning you into a circus act. The next time I hear a player prediction, I’ll know it’s more valuable as entertainment than actual information.

Other equipment such as networking equipment and storage equipment can also be colocated within server racks. Colocation hosting has many advantages above ordinary dedicated server hosting, such as the fact that most data centres provide a ‘remote hands’ service if your server needs a task doing such as an OS reinstall which can only be done from the console; also, the connectivity that your equipment receives will probably be better than that you would receive on a dedicated server, the reason being that your equipment is surrounded by your own equipment meaning that you don’t have any other customers around you that could be a burden on your connection speed.

5 Powerful Reasons WHY Niche Content Sites Are Being Considered The Way To Go In 2006
Let me ask you this... "What do most people go online for?"

So, with that said, you should now have a good idea as to why Niche Content Sites are the way to go if you are looking to build a network of sites that will produce a nice residual income for years to come and will steadily grow over time on there own all by using other peoples content and products.

Reason #1. Search Engines absolutely love them.
If you don't know by now Search Engines love content and what do Niche Content Sites contain? That's right... Content.
The more content you have to offer, the more pages you'll get listed within the search engines, which then gives you more exposure to your target audience from within the search engines and more chances for you to profit, which I'll explain in more detail in a few minutes.
Point being, this is a great way to grow your business and give your audience what they're looking for all at the same time, Plus... to get the Search Engine spiders to return for regular indexing.
Reason #2. Your Niche Content Sites will grow effortlessly.
Content is literally the FUEL that powers the net and even more so is one of the most effective ways to grow your own business online.
What I mean by that is there are literally thousands of content publishers out there on the web looking for places to submit their content for publication. So depending your niche, you will always have an abundance of content to continually grow your network of Niche Content Sites no matter who your target audience is.
I will also be giving you some examples of some Niche Content Sites towards the end of this article to give you some idea of what to expect.
Reason #3. The information is targeted towards your Niche.
Niche Content Sites are just as the name depicts and even more so the information inwhich they contain primarily target your target audience and feed their hunger for information.
Remember what I mentioned earlier about why people come online in the first place.
Your simply giving them what they ready want and making a profit from it at the same time which I'll explain in more detail in the last two segments of this article.
Reason #4. Get paid for other peoples work.
With the rising popularity of Google's Adsense program and the profits that can be made from other peoples content using Google Adsense, this gives people all the more reason to build a network of Niche Content Sites because of the residual income you can make through Google's Adsense program.
The trick is this... the more pages you have listed, the more opportunity you have to generate BIG Google Adsense cheques, all from someone else's work.
Pretty COOL!
Reason #5. Get paid through targeted affiliate programs.
Want to get paid between 30 - 70% again by offering targeted affiliate programs about the content within your Niche Content Sites?
That's right, get paid for referring other peoples products that directly reflect the content inwhich your Niche Content site offers and what your target audience is looking for.
By having a Niche Content Site with targeted content, this gives you a great opportunity to help Pre-Sell your target audience to want to get more information, Information inwhich they have to 'Pay For' which is where the targeted affiliate program you choose comes into play.
Now... are those 5 reasons enough for you to get started with your own network of Niche Content Sites?
Only you can answer that question.
It's reason enough for me, and the real cool thing is you don't have to produce any of the content yourself and you can use other peoples products to make a profit, Plus... Google Adsense.
Just imagine what a network of 30 to 50 of these sites would bring in.
I could ramble on but I think you get the picture.
Before I go though I said I would give you a few examples of what a Niche Content Site might be so here are the two I would get started with - Article Directory or a Niche Blog.
Article Directories will target Multiple Niches where as Niche Blogs will only target One.
So, you have a choice. Now, all you have to do is make a decision.

Beginning Golf Instruction tips: Getting a feel for the approach shot
There are a variety of approach shots, all of which are used in different situations depending on where your initial shot lands on the course. However, your intention with these shots is always to land on the green.
The pitch shot is an approach shot that is played from farther away than the other shots. Using a wedge, the ideal pitch shot is the perfect combination of enough swing momentum to carry your shot through, but not enough to send it sailing over the green. Trajectory will be low to average depending on how far you are from the cup and you want to make sure the ball doesn't roll too far.
You must start off with a slightly open stance, positioning your right foot directly across from the ball. When following through on a pitch shot, always make sure to keep your backswing as short as you possibly can. Failure to keep your backswing in check will usually cause you to instinctively put the brakes on your shot while accelerating, which is a definite no-no. You want to have enough confidence in your wedge to let the club do the work for you: don't think you have to assist the ball through the air.
Another approach shot is known as the chip shot. You'll need to use a chip shot once you're within about 30 yards from the green, usually after a fairway drive or tee shot. The idea is for this shot to have a much shorter trajectory, so you will need to use a less lofted club. Proper weight distribution is paramount to getting off a decent chip shot. If you're a right handed golfer, you want to put the majority of your weight on the left side and hold this position through the duration of your shot.
There are generally two kinds of chip shots that we want to concern ourselves with. The first one is what's known as the bump-and-run shot, and the second is a flop shot. The Bump And Run is usually taken with an 8, 7 or 6 iron club and with the clubface hooded. That way your shot will have have less loft. You also want to have just enough power in your backswing to follow through. The flop shot is used when you want to get over an obstacle like a rough patch or a sand trap, so you're going to want to have a much higher trajectory in order to push the ball over. Open up your stance and follow through as far under the ball as possible to try and pop it up, and you'll keep your ball away from the danger zones with a good position for a subsequent shot.

Stock Investing-The Real Deal On Options Back Dating And What It Means For Stock Investing
Just when you thought it was safe to write a check for stock investing, the options backdating scandal hits. Our problem as money managers is that much of the information that has been disseminated about options back dating, and stock investing is just pure WRONG. The purpose of this article is to clear the air, and inform you as some one in need of stock market information just what you need to know about this scandal.
Let’s begin. CEO’s and senior management at any company whether it’s Steve Jobs at Apple, or over 100 other companies in question receive their executive compensation in two forms. The first form is an outright salary grant. Let’s say $5 million per year. No one is challenging that there have been any games with this part of the compensation package.
The second form of payment is stock options of which there are many types. We are going to use the most common form of stock options which is a straight options grant. Let’s create an example. Let’s say John Smith is CEO of ABC Computer and he was given options on 1,000,000 shares of ABC Computer this afternoon which is January 22, 2007 at $10 per share which is the selling price of the stock on the open market.
Now let’s say back on December 15, 2006 the stock was trading at $5 per share. The compensation committee at the corporation in question wants to do the CEO John Smith a favor. They BACKDATE the options agreement to December 15, 2006, when the stock was selling at $5 per share. The date of the options agreement is called the GRANT DATE. You need to remember this term.
Under the IRS Code, an executive must hold the option for 2 years. It is now 2 years and one day later. Let’s make it December 16, 2008, and the stock is selling for $15 per share. John Smith the executive exercises his options and sells 1,000,000 shares at $15 per share on the open market. Because of options backdating, he is showing a grant price of $5 per share, on December 15, 2006. His profit is $10,000,000.
You get the profit by selling one million shares at $15 per share, with a cost price of $5 per share. It’s a $10 per share profit on one million shares, or $10 million profit. If the company had used the correct date of January 22, 2007, the grant price would have been $10 per share, and the selling price would have remained the same at $15 per share. The profit would have been $5 million dollars or half the profit that was made by BACKDATING.
Of course, John Smith CEO would have had to wait until it was two years past the real grant date of January 22, 2007 to sell his stock in order to meet the IRS requirements. We now see that because of options backdating, this CEO executive John Smith made $10 million exercising his options as opposed to $5 million. There are several more things you need to know in order to understand what’s at work here.
• What is the nature of the compensation when the options are being exercised? Is it ordinary income, or capital gain?
The answer is that the sale of the options after two years from the grant date is ordinary income. Mr. Smith in this case has $10 million in ordinary income on top of what he is paid in compensation by ABC Corporation.
• Is the IRS being defrauded by options backdating?
The answer is no, the $10 million is being declared as income and is includible in income. The IRS is not being defrauded by OPTIONS BACKDATING, although the media would have you believe this is the case. If anything, the IRS is getting more taxes than it is entitled to because the compensation declared is $10 million. If the correct grant date were used the compensation would have been $5 million as we talked about above.
• Is anybody getting defrauded?
You bet, the shareholders of the company are being defrauded by whoever is granting the options, and the recipient of the options if he or she DIRECTLY knew about the backdating. In this case, the fraud amounts to $5 million of excess compensation paid because of the backdating. You get that number by figuring out what the compensation would have been if the correct GRANT DATE were used, as opposed to an erroneous earlier date, or backdating.
• Is there any way that an executive can make his gain a CAPITAL GAIN and pay the Capital Gains rate on the transaction?
Yes, but it involves the executive in question declaring the value of the option on the grant date, and paying ordinary income taxes on the grant date to the government. This is a section 83b election under the IRS code. The executive then can convert his gain to a capital gain on the date of sale 2 years later. This basically only happens if the stock is very cheap, pennies per share on the grant date. During the Internet go-go years, executives who elected this option got huge tax bills that they could not pay because stocks went from pennies a share to hundreds of dollars per share, and then collapsed before they could sell them, leaving the executive with a huge tax liability.
Another thing an executive can do is exercise his option on the exercise date 2 years later and then NOT SELL, but hold on. He will begin a capital gain holding period on the exercise date 2 years later. Keep in mind that this means the executive is now at risk.
Conclusion
The options backdating scandal has resulted in the shareholders of the companies in question being defrauded by the amount of excess compensation that was earned by the executive granted the option. The IRS was never defrauded by the company. In fact the IRS benefited in the excess compensation paid the executive by receiving additional taxes from the executive.
Options backdating should not be tolerated by any Board of Directors of a company, and certainly not by the shareholder base. To the extent that it is, the Directors are violating the rules of corporate governance that they have a fiduciary responsibility to uphold.
Bill Gates of Microsoft has said publicly the most useful skill he ever learned was a working knowledge of the tax code. Now having said that, where do we sign up to get some of these stock options?

Using Solar Power Energy To Help The Environment
It is quite easy to start on your own solar project at home and make a difference to the amount of energy that you use. The price of fossil fuel energy is always on the increase so many people are considering using alternative sources of energy at home. This initiative is supported in many countries by their governments. This support is given in the form of tax rebates and incentives to use solar energy.
The aim is to reduce carbon emissions into our environment thus reduce polluting the air. This can be significantly helped if more people try to use alternative methods to power their homes. The biggest energy usage goes towards warming up the house. Making a change to power the central heating using solar energy can make a huge difference.
Switching to a successful alternative energy source takes a little research. Firstly, you have to make sure that your home has sufficient sunlight during the day; most homes in the States qualify to switch to using the sun as a source of energy. The solar panel has to be placed where it will get the most sun over a year. To know this, you will need to seek the advice of a professional who will conduct a site obstacle survey.
To help use reduce the cost of your utility bills and be environmentally friendly, you can consider making other changes too alongside your solar power project. Installing better installation for your home will reduce the amount of energy you use daily to keep it warm. You can also buy energy saving light bulbs for the home.
Many people start by making their own power generator. You should be able get all the information to do this on the Internet or your local green store. It is simpler than you think as you can buy all the parts that you need. It will come with instructions and will only take a few hours to set up. Remember to start with a small solar panel and you can move up later on.
A small solar panel can gather enough energy from the sun to power many little appliances at home such as a camera, hair dryer etc. If you are looking to do this and make a change there is a lot of information on solar power energy on the Internet.

The Switch to Electric Men's Shavers
Many men who have grown comfortable with their manual razors will likely hesitate to purchase new electric men's shaver, much less, make a firm decision to change.
Electric men's shavers, though convenient, can cost you some serious money. When you buy shavers, an average one will cost more than $50 and higher brands can cost as much as $300. The good news is that the maintenance is very low. You don't need to change your shaver's rechargeable batteries, just charge them occasionally. Also, the shaver heads may dull over time and you will need to either sharpen them or change them each year to two, depending on the quality and brand of your unit.
Taking into account men who have some blood conditions, I would recommend an electric razor because it keeps your skin from getting cut and bleeding, unlike blades. If you are using an electric men's shaver for the first time, your time of adjustment to your new unit may take three weeks or more. Why that long? Since it is an electric, you will need to adapt to the different way of shaving and let your skin get used to the new sensation, and also devise your own way of shaving with a Men's Shaver.
Though manual razors are uncomplicated, some electric men's shavers are revolutionary, and they are here to stay and will have more features and enhancements over time. Even though their prices for the very best men's shavers can be high, they offer super value for your money.
Click HERE for some great FREE informative articles and a superb Site where you can see all the latest models and is designed especially for us Men who are thinking of changing to a men's shaver.

Using Automation Tools to Make Your Life Easier
Everyone is trying to automate these days. Whether you use tools, or outsourcing work to others, automation is clearly a way to expand your business and bring in more profits. For example, if you are building links for your newly launched site, there are many mundane tasks that you have to do each day to increase your search engine ranking including blog commenting, posting articles on article directories and web 2.0 sites, and more. These are completely necessary tasks, but not something anyone wants to personally do for several hours each day. The answer to this is automation, and in this article I want to look at two tools that will make your life easier called iMacros and UBot.
iMacros is a really cool free Firefox Add-on that lets you automate the Firefox web browser. Once installed, it basically allows you to record and play back tasks that you perform on your browser. This is especially useful for basic tasks like form filling or repetitive tasks like checking your stats on multiple affiliate networks. If you learn how to use its datasources feature, it can even be expanded to create macros to perform more complex tasks like creating accounts and posting links for you. To create scripts, it really is as simple as pushing a button to record and then performing a sequence of tasks in the browser. You can then save your scripts and play them back whenever you need to. iMacros is simple and I recommend it for people just getting started with automation.
UBot is a little more powerful than iMacros, but it has a higher learning curve. Basically UBot allows you to create your own web bots using its own Visual Scripting Language. This language is completely graphical, unlike standard programming languages. That means that even non-programmers should be able to pick it up if they have the inclination to. UBot is more flexible than iMacros because it supports branching, looping and constructs like that. It also comes with built in functions for proxy switching, captcha input, page scraping and a whole lot more. Plus if you build some decent bots with UBot, you can compile them into self contained programs that you can then give away or sell.
Both iMacros and UBot are great tools for automating repetitive tasks that you need to do on the web. If you are just getting into automation, then I would recommend taking a look at iMacros first. It's free and quite easy to use. However, if you want to build something more sophisticated, then take a look at UBot. It's extremely powerful and you can create bots that do some amazing things with it.
Think UBot sounds cool? Then check out my UBot blog which contains all the info you need to create your own automated web bots.

3 Quick Ways To Start Your Own Online Business In Less Than 24 Hours
The only set back most people run into when wanting to start one of their own online business is How and Where to get started.
I did a search under the keyword term "home based business" and the search results returned 575,000,000 results for that keyword alone.
That's a pretty intimidating number for someone wanting to start their own home based business on the web wouldn't you say?
These were the same obstacles I was up against when I first ventured into the online world of business.
But I didn't let that stop me and I hope that won't stop you either from wanting to start your own online business.
So, I saved you the hassle and put together 3 of the quickest ways for ANYONE(that's You) to start their own online business with next to no investment required and can get started in less than 24 hours.
Are you ready? I hope so.
Business Model #1. Affiliate Programs.
Affiliate Programs are simply programs set up by the business owner for others to sign up for and promote for the business owner for a agreed upon commission(usually between 10 - 75%).
The great thing about Affiliate marketing is it doesn't cost you a single penny to get started, you don't have to worry about refunds or customer service that come with owning your own product.
All you have to worry about is generating the traffic to your affiliate link and collecting your commission cheques.
This is the quickest way to get started online... Period!
Here's a few Affiliate Directories to give you a start:
Associate Programs - http://www.associateprograms.com
Refer It - http://www.refer-it.com
Business Model #2. Resell Rights.
Resell Rights are simply products that have already been created and are available to anybody who is willing to pay for the Resell Rights to market them.
The upside to this is you get Ready-To-Go websites with PROVEN sales letters that convert. The best part of all is... you get to keep 100% of the $Profits$.
The draw back is you can't claim those products as your own. The original creator of the product maintains full rights. You just get to keep all the profits.
Not such a bad trade off wouldn't you say?
Business Model #3. Private Label Resell Rights.
Private Label Resell Rights are simply products that are ready to be branded with your name to it.
What I mean by that is you get full rights to the product or products and are able to claim them as your own even though you didn't create them yourself.
This is the fastest way for anyone to start a online business who really doesn't have any experience or knowledge on how to create their own products.
The other really cool thing about Private Label Resell Rights products is they come with Ready-To-Go websites which then again saves you time and money in having to create them yourself.
Well there you have it, 3 Quick Ways To Start Your Own Online Business In Less Than 24 Hours.
The easiest way to locate any of the above via the search engines is by entering something like this into there search engine web form:
affiliate programs + "what your niche is"
(Note: make sure you use the quotations around what niche you want to target. Very Important!)
This will save you time and target your search much better, where as if you were to just enter 'affiliate programs' into the search engine web form you would get a gazillion results, leaving you frustrated.
Now, the only thing left for you to do Right NOW is make a decision on what you would really enjoy doing as a business online.
Once you've figured that out the only thing left for you to do is put together a... Plan For $Profit$.

30 Seconds to Easy Self Hypnosis
This state of mind, known as the hypnotic state is very simply created by;
- Focusing one’s attention.
- Relaxing the body.
- Allowing unnecessary thoughts to enter, then exit, without any rationalisation.
This process can be easily accomplished by the technique that follows. It is known as the “Eye Roll Technique’, and is a very old but powerful way of entering a safe therapeutic hypnotic trance. When in this relaxed state of mind, it is possible to offer oneself any positive suggestions or affirmations in order to bring about the changes which you desire. Examples of positive statements and affirmations are given further on.
THE TECHNIQUE.
If possible, find yourself a quiet place and either sit down or lie down comfortably.
Roll up your eyes, just as if you were trying to look at your eyebrows.
Allow your eyelids to slowly close, and as you do so, take in a deep breath and hold it.
As you slowly exhale, allow your upturned eyes to return to their normal position.
As you finish exhaling, enjoy that gentle, floating sensation that you will experience.
At the same time, imagine your right hand to be very light, like it has a childs helium balloon tied to it making it rise gently. You may be surprised at the ease by which your hand and arm seem to float up by themselves.
This floating hand signal is a signal from your subconscious mind that you are entering a state of deep relaxation.
As you remain in this deeply relaxed, hypnotic state of mind, offer yourself any positive, therapeutic suggestions which you feel will help to bring about the changes you really want or need.
Remain in this state for 10-20 minutes, that’s really all that’s needed.
You can repeat the process as many times a day as you like.
EXITING THE TRANCE STATE.
Roll up your eyes behind your closed eyelids.
Very slowly, allow your eyelids to open, and the eyes to focus.
Make a tight fist with your right hand, and as you do, allow this light floating hand to drift down into a comfortable position. As it comes to rest, release the tight fist and gently stretch those fingers.……FINISHED !!!!
If necessary, the exit from the trance state can be accomplished any time by going through the steps listed above.
It may take you a little time to perfect the technique, especially if you are the ‘on the go all the time’ sort of person. Relaxation comes easier to some people than to others, so always bear this in mind.
Remember, if you want to make positive changes in your life, this relatively short use of your time can pay great dividends in the end. The beauty of it is that once you have practiced and mastered the technique, you will be able to enter the relaxed state much more easily and deeply.
Another point to remember is that everyone is capable of entering into a hypnotic state.
But just as we are all different, so is the ease with which we enter into a hypnotic trance.
Some will succeed on their first or second attempt, where as others may need many more attempts. It took me a week and a half, and about 15 attempts before I achieved a hypnotic state. The motto is—PERSERVERE. It may take time, but the rewards are well worth the effort.
