Stopping Locust Plagues; Is It Possible?

Posted in Best Video Resources on August 30th, 2008

Can mankind stop locust plagues and swarms using a sound wall? Should we try? Well we have a lot to gain if it works do we not? Sure we do, think of the devastation these Locust Plagues cause our species? Can we build a sound wall that the insects will not wish to cross? Or is the sound they make so intense that we cannot create sound at such volumes as they produce as they thunder across the lands like a freight train?

But if we could stop them by making sound walls they would stop flying and fall to the ground and begin cannibalize. The biggest issues as you know and as stated by the World Bank, UN commission on farming in the third world and the issues with droughts is that feeding the 6.6 Billion and growing human populations will mean such Locust Swarms and Plague disruption could push an already starving human population to the brink.

Many farmers are using sound emitters to send birds away and this can be used to keep bird migrations with potential N1H5 Bird Flu away from regional wildlife birds and chicken farms, as that is about the last thing we need isn’t it. Sending insects away is only a matter of discovering the proper harmonic, which is annoying or overwhelmingly signaling their systems away or to something else. I say collect the locust swarms and use them for protein to eat or for feed. But that is a whole other topic? Consider all this in 2006.

Real Estate Investing: Family Feud with an Auction Deadline - Adventures in Probate/ Estate Purchase

Posted in University of Sports on August 28th, 2008

One of our investor students told us of an interesting probate deal or “adventure” they’re working on now and while it’s a good story, it also illustrates lots of the ins and out of probate or estate issues and purchases.

The Seller (we’ll call him Scott) co-owned this house with his mom, and he co-signed on the loan with mom. Mom has been deceased for 3 years now.

Scott says his sister lives there and is not making the payments, so the mortgage is behind 6 months in payments, and he’s ready to sell the house. He said Mom left no will for her estate, but there are 6 other siblings. If that’s not enough of an investing adventure for you yetScott then tells us that the bank is threatening foreclosure.

They’re not just threatening….we discover that the house is scheduled to go to the courthouse steps in 3 weeks. Why would anyone even try to purchase a mess like this with a short timeframe? Well, Scott owes $33,000 + $5000 in back payments on a cosmetic, light fix-up $10k rehab house that’s worth about $140,000 when it’s all fixed up. So let’s do a little math to see if there’s just a wee bit of profit in it.

ARV $140k minus Rehab $10k minus BuySellHold $21k minus Profit $25k equals MAO $84k

So the max we could afford to offer on this house is $84k, and he has to have $38k to cover the mortgage and the back payments, say another $35k so that each Scott and every other sibling/heir gets $5k profit too. That’s a total of $73k, still leaving $11k EXTRA profit for the investor!! There IS big money to be made if you understand issues like these!

Now, how do we work through the estate stuff. Well first we (or Scott) would have to negotiate this price with all the siblings to reach agreement on their share. Next they’d all have to verify that “mom didn’t leave a will”. If so, Scott could petition the probate court to appoint him as Administrator of the estate and he’d have to run a notification of the estate ad, and get all the siblings to sign document agreeing to his being made Administrator. Now Scott could sign the Purchase Contract as “Scott, Administrator of the Estate of Momma”.

If the siblings said “no, Mom DID have a will”….then we’d spank Scott for fibbing, and see who was appointed as Executor of the estate in her will. That person would then have the court probate the will, and run an ad. Then the Executor would have to sign the Purchase contract as “[Name], Executor of the Estate of Momma”, and sell the house and distribute the profit to the sibling/heirs as described in mom’s will.

In the meantime, don’t forget the upcoming foreclosure auction either. It’s a race between the probating and the foreclosure to see who will hit the ‘finish line’ first. So the investor (she can say she’s a friend of Scott, just helping out) will need to talk to the lender or their foreclosing attorney, in order to stall the auction.

She’ll need to get a ’statement of account’ to find out what the loan balance is, and also what the back payments, penalties and attorney fees add up to. These additional fees could be paid by the investor as preparation for a subject-to purchase. The risk is that if there is no will AND the sibling/heirs couldn’t reach a quick agreement on price, she’d have to keep making monthly payments to the lender to prevent foreclosure but she wouldn’t yet own it until (hopefully) the siblings reach agreement and appoint Scott as Administrator.

I can hear you saying “but the investor could try for a short sale purchase direct from the lender, and not worry about all these siblings and probate issues”….problem is she can’t get all the borrowers (momma’s deceased) to sign all the short sale paperwork, and she doesn’t yet have the property successfully probated to have a new legal Adminstrator/Executor that could sign either.

So no one can yet legally sell, nor sign short sale paperwork until either estate is probated or the lender forecloses and takes back ownership of the property….the clock is ticking…we shall see.

Best of success & abundance,

1st Time Home Buyers - 3 Things You Should Know Before Buying

Posted in University of Sports on August 24th, 2008

Buying your first home is an exciting time in your life. With careful planning the transition from renter to home owner can be very smooth and easy. There are three important things that every first time buyer should remember as they look for their dream home.

Hold off on big purchases.

You have your credit report in front of you and you are excited to learn that your credit score is higher than you thought. Just because you have the credit, does not mean you should use it. Sure a new minivan would look great on the driveway of your new house, but buying it now, before you finalize your new home loan, could jeopardize things. The bank is going to look at the debts you have when deciding just what kind of a loan you can be expected to repay. If your credit report suddenly shows up with a lot of high balances, the lender may think twice about giving you the loan or may decide since you are somewhat of a risk you need to have a higher rate of interest.

Get a home inspection.

Hiring someone to come in and inspect the home from top to bottom is a very smart move on a buyer’s part. The professional has no emotions attached to the home and can give you an honest assessment of its problems. He is also trained to find things that you might not see or the seller might not know about such as termites, mold, wiring problems, and foundation issues. You will have to pay for the inspection but the typical fee of $100-$400 could save you thousands of dollars in the long run. In the short term, it could even save you money if a problem found by the inspector justifies offering the seller a lower price for the house.

Don’t give good faith money directly to the seller.

Try using one of ABC Loan Guide’s
Recommended Mortgage Companies Online. Their recommended companies are reputable and competitive in their rates.

If you are asked to give earnest money it needs to go into a trust account and not directly to the seller. The seller isn’t allowed to touch the money until everything closes, but if you give the money directly to the seller and the deal falls through, you will have a hard time getting that money back if the seller has already spent it.

Dieting: A Few Smart Dieting Secrets To Rejuvenate You

Posted in University of Sports on August 22nd, 2008

In our society of fast food and long hours spent at jobs, it is not difficult to add weight at all.

That is the easy part.

The hard part is how to shed those extra pounds.

With the right dieting and discipline, it can be done.

Here are a few smart dieting secrets to help you achieve an ideal weight.

Start your diet with a food diary, record everything you eat, what you were doing at the time and how you felt.

That helps you gain insight about yourself, your temptation, the emotional states that encourage you to snack.

Instead of eating the forbidden piece of candy, brush your teeth. If you’re about to cheat, allow yourself a treat, then eat only half a bite and throw the other half away.

When hunger hits, wait 10 minutes before eating and see if it passes. Set attainable goals. Don’t say, “I want to lose 50 pounds.” Say, “I want to lose 5 pounds a month.”

Get enough sleep but not too much. Try to avoid sugar. Highly sweetened foods tend to make you crave more.

Drink six to eight glasses of water a day. Water itself helps cut down on water retention because it acts as a diuretic.

Taken before meals, it dulls the appetite by giving you that “full feeling.”

Diet with a friend. There is strength in numbers.

Support groups are important, and caring people can help one another succeed. Start your own, even with just one other person.

Substitute activity for eating. When the cravings hit, go to the “Y” or health club if possible; or dust, or walk around the block.

This is especially helpful if you eat out of anger.

If the pie on the counter is just too great a temptation and you don’t want to throw it away, freeze it.

If you’re a late-night eater, have a carbohydrate, such as a slice of bread of a cracker, before bedtime to cut down on cravings.

Keep an orange slice or a glass of water by your bed to quiet the hunger pangs that wake you up.

If you use food as a reward, establish a new reward system. Buy yourself a non-edible reward.

Write down everything you eat - - everything - including what you taste when you cook. If you monitor what you eat, you can’t go off your diet.

Weigh yourself once a week at the same time. Your weight fluctuates constantly and you can weigh more at night than you did in the morning, a downer if you stuck to your diet all day.

Make dining an event. Eat from your own special plate, on your own special placemat. Borrow the Japanese art of food arranging to make your meal, no matter how meager, look lovely. Make eating some kind of a ceremony.

This will lessen the habit of automated eating.

This is a trick that helps chronic over-eaters and bingers pay attention to their food instead of consuming it unconsciously.

Don’t shop when you’re hungry. You’ll only buy more fattening food. Avoid finger foods that are easy to eat in large amounts.

Avoid consuming large quantities of fattening liquids, which are so easy to overdo. And this includes alcoholic beverages.

Keep plenty of crunchy foods like raw vegetables and air-popped fat-free popcorn on hand. They’re high in fiber, satisfying and filling.

Leave something on your plate, even if you are a charter member of the Clean The Plate Club.

It’s a good sign that you can stop eating when you want to, not just when your plate is empty.

Lose weight for yourself, not to please your husband, your parents or your friends.

Make the kitchen off-limits at any time other than mealtime. Always eat at the table, never in front of the TV set or with the radio on.

Concentrate on eating every mouthful slowly and savoring each morsel. Chew everything from 10 to 20 times and count!

Never skip meals (unless you’re not hungry)

May these dieting tips help you to achieve your ideal weight and maintain good health and happiness.

Warmly,

Honest Home Based Business Review

Posted in University of Sports on August 21st, 2008

Copyright 2006 Timothy Rohrer

I am Tim Rohrer, and I have tried just about every income opportunity and home based business you could possibly think of in the past year. 99% of the time I was scammed, burnt and left behind when it came to finding a program that would deliver real results. Most people starting a home based business hop into an opportunity with broken promises of making a fortune overnight. Well I am here to tell you the hard facts and hopefully give you a bit of insight. Truth is, you can make the millions, but you need a step-by-step process to make it happen and a proven one at that.

Back in the summer of 2005 I sold my guitar for $100 profit and decided to invest that $100 into an e-book that opened up my world to a new realm of possibilities. I took this knowledge have since been able to earn a modest $5,000 per month. How can anyone start with $100 and build such a business one might ask?

I learned the hard way; it took a lot of wasted advertising dollars, phone calls and independent research. What I did learn is that it’s important to network with other successful home business owners. Having a mentor that will show you his or her proven success is essential when building your internet business. People love the idea of a team and that’s what provides insight, guidance and feedback. If you are able to find a team of people to work with and grow your business, half of the battle is already won.

Do not re-create the wheel. If Donald Trump said to you, “I did x, y and z to make 1 billion dollars”, I am sure you would follow those steps. When shown a system that works, go with it and do exactly what it tells you to do. Most people will tend to jump into an opportunity and don’t do a single thing with it. Being persistent and setting personal goals will help grow your business. Find a mentor or someone that is willing to show you their success and duplicate it. Simply put, do what they do.

The number one home business mistake is when people try to recruit their friend’s family and relatives into their opportunity. If you have chosen a team of successful networkers and marketers, they will provide you with a step-by-step process on how to put people into your business. Friends and family aren’t necessarily expert marketers and entrepreneurs.

The honest truth here is to advertise your business. If the local Pet Shop down the road didn’t run specials and advertise in the local newspaper, they would draw very minimal business. Putting an ad out in the paper helps draw people that are looking for your opportunity, rather than you trying to find them.

Find out where entrepreneurs and business builders like to hang out on the internet. If you wanted to see a professional football game, you’d have to go to the football field. The same idea works on the internet. Find forums that business minded people tend to hang out on and discuss home based business opportunities. A few good ones are talkgold and money group forums and whydowork at home. Follow a few of these simple steps, and I guarantee you will see success.

Amazing Quotes from Clients

Posted in University of Sports on August 16th, 2008

No doubt you’ve collected memorable quotes from your job or business. Here are some of the amazing things people have said to me since I started my business in 1992. And, yes, all of the quotes are true.

“Paying these royalties is a real hassle.”

> Comment: You can’t judge a book publisher by the cover.

“I know that you’re a much better speaker, and that your content is better, your materials are better, and even your fee is lower, but I decided to use a seminar company from out of state because my boss will approve it without asking any questions.”

> Comment: That explains why sometimes you find yourself in a really terrible seminar.

“I save all the invoices in a drawer and every four months or so I go through the stack and approve them.”

> Comment: I bet she would go ballistic if her paycheck were ten minutes late.

“Okay, in your case we’ll make an exception and pay you on time.”

> Comment: Here’s another person who fails to understand how business works.

“Instead of hiring a speaker we decided to spend our money on an ice sculpture.”

> Comment: I suppose it’s more important to watch ice melt than learn something.

“I want you to send me a proposal with complete descriptions of all of your workshops, a resume, your client list for the past five years, a dozen testimonial letters, and a fee schedule. I’ve got 21 proposals so far and I want to collect 25.”

> Comment: If I were this man’s boss, I’d fire him for being a public nuisance. (And I did not submit a proposal.)

“If she had wanted to act on your proposal, she would have returned your calls. Duh!”

> Comment: Every vendor is also a customer, and in this case I responded to their rudeness by transferring my phone service to another company. Cost to them: over $1,200 per year.

“What do you charge to speak for 54 minutes?”

> Comment: The same that I charge for 55 minutes. And 53 minutes.

“Now that we have your workbook, we’ll use one of our staff to conduct the workshop.”

Fast Weight Loss Tips and The Best Supplements

Posted in University of Sports on August 15th, 2008

Oh, my the dreaded Holiday Season has come and gone and all you have to show forth is extra pounds. Sure the parties were fun, the family gatherings were unforgettable and gift giving made you feel great. There is only one left over problem to take care of. Too much eating led you to weigh too much. Here are some fast weight loss tips and some of the best supplements to help you burn the fat.

Fast weight loss tips begin with your eating habits. Many foods eaten over the holidays contained large amounts of fat and sugar. Two deadly sins to your body. It’s time to cut them both out, or atleast cut way back. It was so nice for others to make all that food and set it out so you could feast, but the holidays are over and you need to get back in those pants again. Fat and sugars are stored in your body until burned away and let’s face it, who’s been exercising. Cut back on the amount of fat and sugar products and you’ll almost instantly lose weight.

Another fast weight loss tip is to lower your carbohydrate intake. We all have heard of the low-carb diet, but it is quickly losing the interest of Amercians because we get bored fast. Lowering carbs does work though! By doing so you will cause your body to burn more fat for energy by reducing what you have stored up over the passed few weeks. Lowering carbs, cutting back on fats and elimnating too much sugar will dramatically lower your weight fast. You will have turned your body into a fat burning furnace and the pounds will come off.

Now let’s get to some of the best weight loss supplements used to increase the amount of weight lost and speed up the process. Some of the hottest supplements are ephedra free thermogenics like Stacker, or Hydroxycut. The new ephedra free formula is free from harmful side effects and will tell your body to turn up the fat burning temperature gauge to shed pounds quick. Other great supplements are CLA, Pyruvate and weight loss shakes. That’s right a shake. Try taking in a weight loss shake instead of apple pie and you’ll feel full and won’t crave sweets.

The most important ingredient in any diet program is water. Water is the most abundant product in your body and it is needed for every function of the body. Taking in 8-10 eight ounce glasses of water will do wonders. It gets rid of waste, makes sure all your organs operate at peak performance and will help keep you from getting a lot of illnesses. Just by adding more water to your diet.

Here’s the last and the worst weight loss tip-Exercise. Yes, it’s true. You must get some exercise, but it doesn’t have to be hours a day all week long. Just get up and do something to get your heart and blood pumping atleast for a little while. 30 minutes a day at 4 days a week is recommended. Whether it’s walking, jogging, or just playing around with the kids-Get Up and Get Moving!

There are many other fast weight loss tips and supplements, however, these few ideas will take off the extra pounds in a very short amount of time. To measure progress only get on the scale once a week because your weight can change daily. You can expect to see result within a week.

Some fast weight loss tips and supplements recap:
Lower your fat intake
Keep sugars to a minimum
Take ephedra free supplements, CLA, Pyruvate, or weight loss shakes
Up your water intake
Most importantly-Get Moving!

Staying healthy isn’t easy. It takes work, dedication and the right information. OCD Supplements is dedicated to helping you reach your fitness goals with supplements and diet programs. You can do it!
