Cats, I Love them

Posted in General Articles

Cats are the coolest animals on the planet. Yes, that statement is rife with conjecture and straight up personal opinion—based on personal pet preference. But they really are amazing creatures.

Cats have their own laundry or body soap solution, and can wash themselves in all areas except the one area Moms used to nag about—behind the ears…at the nape of the neck. Oh, and they can be picked up (with teeth!) by that nape of the neck, without ever flinching or griping or calling out in pain.

Cats don’t hassle or pounce, relentlessly, when you enter a room. They have little interest in your command performance attention—the quality and quantity of which had better be delivered, according to their mortal foes, dogs, or you’ll get a face full of slobber, a front full of mudprints, or a shove to the ground because the dog thinks he’s a lapdog when he is, in fact, a Rhodesian Wolfhound weighing in at over a 100 pounds.

Cats are so intuitive they know when you need them. That is, if you are weeping, depressed, lonely, or ill, they will first stare at you for a minute, likely picking up which vibe it is they need to address, and then will come close. This is not hyperbole or conjecture on my part. Numerous studies have been done to indicate that pets in general but especially cats have been introduced into high-stress people’s homes and hospital wards—and the illnesses decreased, the stress levels reduced, and the feeling of well-being returned to degrees of something around 15% improvement.

I mentioned that cats stare. Yeah, this is one I still am trying to figure out. They will position themselves in statuesque stillness, focus on one spot, thing, or you (shudder), and with unblinking, undeterred pose will penetrate whatever (or whomever) it is they stare at. I have paid close attention to this particular behavior on many an occasion, and can only see not a bored soul just watching the air molecules move about but a profoundly knowing being…whose eyes, when you look deeply into them, reveal eras and ages of reincarnated mystique, reveal the origin of their many dimensioned essences.

I may be interpreting this because I know the cat’s history. Or know what others know thus far. Cats were a revered animal in Egypt. They were found buried in the tombs and sarcophagi of the royalty. They were reportedly so esteemed that a person was caught harming a cat that person was executed. (Wish we had held onto this one archaic law, especially when I see how cats are sold in markets for food in some countries, or how cats are tortured by cults or kids with nothing better to do and no more brain cells than to set a now defenseless domesticated creature on fire. Makes me very angry, actually.)

And back to the physical wonderment of cats…that whole hairball thing, while at first may be disgusting or may seem pitiful (I always go into apoplectic sympathy mode as the cat looks at me to shut me up so she can be sick), is really fascinating (and makes sense). The cat is licking her hair every day and night, many times. She is of course collecting the fallout. In her gut. She then, on scheduled intervals of time, hunkers, hacks, and hawks until the perfectly bundled thing is expelled. And then she begins the cycle all over again.

Cats have (students and professors at Cornell studied) 100 different vocalizations. My favorite is the rrow-rrow-rrow one as if my cuddly baby is chirping with giddy delight. (It is happy, it is friendly, and it is a greeting. It is also an expectation—of goodies.)

I am really not all that intellectual about cats, though I do acknowledge a deep respect for and kind of metaphysical fascination with cats. So I am always learning something new, coming to understand their biological imperatives—that they wash immediately after eating (or after you eat, even) so they don’t (their cells recall this from jungle days eons back) appear as food or prey. Duh. I didn’t think of that. They scratch and claw stuff not only to sharpen their claws. They do so to leave scent for those competitors (in our case, the raccoons) that might even think about approaching for a nice warm bed, lots of healthy food, much smooshy affection, and the occasional starefest. Which still kinda creeps me out.

Thinking About Money and Financial Freedom

Posted in General Articles

Reflecting on our standing in life brings us to a point where we are forced to describe our goals. For self made millionaires, they have written off the goal of financial freedom in their lives long before other people realized its importance.

However, while others are starting to catch up on the trend of wealth creation, financial freedom is just too abstract a concept without the right mental shift. Called the millionaire mindset, it involves a lot of different approaches to one’s lifestyle while learning financial strategies through searching for opportunities. By turning goals into reality and acting responsibly, financial freedom seems a much closer idea than before.

Yet, the philosophy of financial freedom is still too large a concept for people to grasp. One can ask what freedom really means. Then we can search the meaning of financial freedom for each one of us. While financial freedom can be measured through one’s monetary standing, people do not realize that the philosophy behind financial freedom relies on our attitude towards money. In order to achieve financial freedom, we must describe our priorities which include how we look at money.

The first fundamental perspective of a millionaire’s mindset is thinking that people are interested and should be interested in money. Why not? Money is a vehicle to make your life work and to make our system go round and round. But then more people do not value money the right way. People who seem to be satisfied with the money that they have end up getting rung down in the bottom of the financial pyramid. For some, money represents your paycheck that pays your bills. These people often find an ethical standard since they don’t care for money.

However, ethics and interest and money should not be removed from each other. The reality is, money is a vehicle not only to make a living, but also to make a quality life. Learning to value money gives us a perspective that makes us responsible with our finances. Finding the balance of how much money means to you is important in seeking financial freedom.

Want to lose weight without dieting?

Posted in General Articles

Let me tell you right now, I hate to diet. Always have.

When I was in my twenties, I kind of ballooned up a bit. When I started college, I found the dining hall, with all-you-can-eat everything available, was one of my favorite places to be, especially since I didn’t know anyone, and I was struggling with my classes.

I lost the weight later, but in other rough patches during my twenties, my weight would balloon up again. I was on a roller coaster. No fun.

I read a book back then, called something like the “I Hate to Diet” book. It has since gone out of print — I’ve looked for it over the years, but have never been able to find it again, even when Amazon.com and Google came around. So, basically, I re-wrote it, using the methods the original author talked about, and expounding on what I had learned over the years.

Since I read that book and applied her methods back in my mid-twenties, I have not had a weight problem, and it’s been about 30 years since I started applying her methods.

And what are her methods? They’re VERY simple. The first is: Eat whatever you want. Yes, that’s the first rule.

There’s only one other rule, and, trust me, it’s every bit as simple as the first. But you’ll still lose weight without dieting, without taking pills or putting on patches, without starving.

I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. I am living proof. I feel great, I’m slender and full of energy, and I never, ever diet. Happy NON-dieting!

Should you Have a Wedding DJ?

Posted in General Articles

Planning for a wedding can be a very involved process. There is the ceremony itself, but then there is the catering, the location, the transportation, the flowers and of course the DJ. In a place like Philadelphia, with around one and a half million people, a person should not have a hard time finding a Mobile DJ.

However, finding the right Philadelphia Wedding DiscJockey is a process that needs every bit as much attention as the caterer. There are a number of things to consider when looking for and deciding on a Philly DJ. The most important rule is to not, under any circumstances, consider using your cousin and his ability to create awesome mix CDs. Now that rule number one is established, here are some quick pointers to hiring a Mobile DJ.

First, check your immediate area for DJs and then compile a short list. Write down five or six DJs leaving room for notes. Notes will help you compare one DJ against another. Second, and probably the obvious next step, is to make the calls.

When talking with the DJ you will want to concentrate one a few key bits of information:

1. Cost. How much are you willing to spend? Does the Wedding DJ Philly charge by the hour or by the event?

2. Song library. It’s important to find a DJ that offers a wide variety of music. You will not only want a DJ who can change up the music, but be able to cater to the tastes of your guests. Your 100 country music fan guests will become very weary after 30 minutes of rap music, or vice versa.

3. DJ for wedding interaction and personality. Does the DJ seem like a fun person? Is this someone who is going to entertain as well as play music? In some cases a great DJ can make a bad master of ceremony. You are going to want someone as lively and entertaining as the music they are spinning.

Sell & Rent Products May Boost Bridging Loan Take Up

Posted in General Articles

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the property sectors probably have some way to go before they hit rock bottom. The fashionable sell and rent phenomenon seems to be resulting in more repossession opportunities too. If there is anything to be excited about it is that when the market does bottom out there will be some top deals available. If you’re looking to get into property development now would be a good time to start planning your strategic move.

First-time developers will need to think about wangling bridging loans for the all-important “make or break” project. There are still some lenders prepared to lend you money for your property development project. You might have to work harder to convince them to provide the funds but nobody said it was going to be a walk in the park!

Property development finance is often easier to lay your hands on than a regular mortgage because the lenders can be more sure that you’re looking at it as a business and if you’ve done your sums properly it will be as clear as day for them to see that lending money to you is probably safer than lending to a customer who doesn’t have the same goals.

Having said that you will find an increasing number of lenders who will not look at you even if your business plan realistically indicates that you’re going to make a gazillion in profit! Many banks really have got the frights at the moment and with good reason!

If your credit record has the slightest blot on it you may find it increasingly difficult to get a loan of any kind let alone a property development finance loan. No more are the heady days where you could just saunter into your high street broker, claim that you earn 40 big ones a year even if you didn’t and they would line up to give you the cash. Now they are running away with their tails between their legs!

These insecure financial times have led to an exceptional number of people going online trying to find work. Shedloads of people Google for jobs doing data entry at home in an attempt to supplement their pay. If this is you be wary. There are plenty of scammers waiting to unashamedley take your money! I would concentrate on property development if I were you.

Smartphone / PDA features and functions have evolved.  They are all-in-one wireless mobile handheld devices which have gone beyond simply communication between two people.  All the bulkier equipment traditionally used in an office has been compressed into one small and slim device that can fit in the palm of a hand or inside a pocket.

Carriers have gone beyond providing only voice and text messaging.  Now they can provide Internet access for smartphones, such as the Blackberry Storm, LG Voyager Phone or the Palm Treo 800w Phone that support a web browser.  If the carrier provides 3G, then users can talk to a friend or coworker while surfing the web and even have another application running in the background… that other application maybe a mediaplayer running a video or playing music.  The capability of playing video games, online or off is included as well.
