    CAR INSURANCE QUOTES :

    CaN a site and application for Car Insurance quotes be WiN-abled ? HoW ?

    Car Insurance: are YoU begging for Car Insurance help ?

    Using win-abled options, your site and application can have huge advantages over your competition. First, a person will more likely visit your site instead of your competition and will NoT only obtain the auto insurance quotes, but have realistic various options for earning revenue, too >> Without SpaM or ReferraLs!

    Sited: " Locating the BesT Car Insurance quotes is tedious and can sometimes be eXpensive and time consuming. BuT a winabled site for car insurance will maximize time and revenues for BoTh parties involved "

    However, many people claim the NexT BiG ThinG called, "WiN-abled" will resolve many problems and issues about maximizing time used to locate profitable Car Insurance quotes. But there will always be a degree of the public who'll scrutinize the solution >> but maybe thats a good thing !?

    Once you learn the general concepts of "WiN-abled" and its variations you will realize and understand iTs magnitude for truly helping your customers with more and more options for realisitc profits without begging and without referrals.

    Many Experts (or so-called experts), may disagree. And yes, winabled will NoT be the most correct solution for every business scenario. iT would be very arrogant to make that claim. I guess its like everything else, via its impossible to get everyone to agree on every subject. Maybe we should develop web applications to address this issue ... but wouldn't that also "invite the babies" to add to their un-reasonable complaints ? Or would iT be another ProFiTable Application ?!

    I.E. a profitable solution for satisfying the crying babies over their car insurance being too high and MoRe ... or whatever ... hmmmmm ?

    If anyone would like to help develop an application regarding this issue, i have a few ideas to get the ball rolling. Ofcourse, if you'd just like to do the time consuming search for the BesT auto insurance quotes, use this search tool or check out the links and bonuses below. You are welcome to add any eXceptional link you find concerning Car Insurance to the uDoTonE database. Afterwards, LearN HoW you can also earn pshares for income without spamming or referrals. MoRe

    Hi Angie,

    I had heard about Juice Plus+ over 2 years ago from an Olympic athlete
    on a sports panel. I looked into it (and some other natural products,
    like noni juice, acai, etc.) and found JP+ to be backed up by solid
    research from reputable universities and medical centers including
    Duke, MD Anderson (our big cancer center here in Texas), etc. I also
    like the fact that it is in capsule form so I can carry it easily (one
    of the drawbacks of a liquid since I travel so much).

    My family and I are on JP+ for 2 years now (kids 6-15 qualify to get
    it free), and we are doing well on it. I sleep better and don't have
    "personal heat" issues, and my husband was able to stop taking his
    glucosamine for his elbow. It's not a vitamin, mineral, or
    supplement; it's simply 17 fiber and nutrient rich fruits and
    vegetables that are dehydrated (they take out the water, sugar, and
    salt) and put in capsules. So, it's an easy way to get your 8
    servings of fruits and vegetables every day; your body is so
    wonderfully designed that it does the rest if you give it the correct
    building blocks! It's also not a magic pill; you won't feel a
    difference after one day; it's more like a diet. You don't feel like
    you're losing weight every single day, but at the end of the month
    when you've lost 10 lbs, you realize it's from doing something
    consistently for the past 30 days!

    I became a distributor since we have 4 of us on it; many folks are
    personal use distributors (they get the product wholesale for
    themselves and their families) and others work it as a side business
    (like me). If you are interested in finding out more, you can check
    out all the research at www.healthyfood123.com [click on the research
    link], or contact me directly at marymcd@healthyfood123.com and I can
    send you info that you are interested in, as we have a great research
    dept that has info for ADD, diabetes, autism, etc.

    Hi Geri,
    Is your friend having a complete hysterectomy? Is the procedure c-section? I had a complete hysterectomy three years ago. (Depending on the answers to these questions). I would recommend paying attention to the full six to eight weeks recovery time. Take it easy. I was thrown into menopause about 4 months after my surgery. Which has not been bad for me at all. Hot flashes are the irritant. I went with natural hormone replacement therapy. It's a cream I apply every morning and it is working great. Most likely she will feel so much better after her body adjusts.

    Fri Nov 16, 2007 8:48 am (PST)

    Hi Geri:

    I found that some things after my Hysterectomy went exactly as the
    doctors had predicted and some things did not. I have talked to other
    people who have had this surgery and they had different recover
    problems.
    First, the less weight you are carrying and the more fit you are the
    easier it will be to recover. I was able to walk more and sooner than
    other people and I fit into normal clothes in a few days, this was not
    the case for others. However, I could not drive or even ride in a car
    for much longer than the estimated week. So, have your friend plan for
    this possibility. I hope she will have some one to help her at home, she

    will need help dressing and bathing for several days. She will not be
    allowed to leave the hospital until she can urinate and eliminate on
    her own. This can be a problem for weeks/months afterwards. The
    purging and anesthesia can affect you as well, eat yogurt!!! Some
    times you can not tell if you have to pee until it is dire, this will
    eventually sort itself out, but for 6 months I needed to know there
    was a bathroom available. Tell your friend to give her self time to
    recover, it may take longer than she wants it to, but letting your body
    heal completely will make a huge difference in the long run. She should
    also be prepared to grieve for her loss, this is an emotional surgery.
    She is welcome to contact me if she wants more information. Martha

    Do you find yourself biting your tongue in the face of a narcissistic
    partner/manager/napoleon type? You know the type --- the individual who
    only hears his opinion (too often it's a male) b/c he knows best and
    your opinion couldn't possibly matter? I have reached a point where I
    realize the narcissistic type will never change. I feel I have to make
    do in order to keep the peace. Trying to fight the circumstances only
    means more angst for me. Your thoughts on dealing with this type of
    individual or these types of circumstances? Martha Stark

    I also like Juice Plus. My kids love it too. Very easy to give them and it
    doesn't have one of those icky aftertastes. And along the lines with what
    Sherry said, another great wellness product to incorporate is Young Living
    Essential Oils. There have been several times that my kids were in the
    midst of catching a cold but a few drops of Eucalyptus on their chest and it
    dissipated. I suffer from migraines. A drop of Peppermint oil on my
    temples and/or third eye and I'm cured! There are lots of wonderful goodies
    offered by the company so I'm giving them away as Christmas gifts. You can
    contact my rep at faithshands@youngliving.org for additional info.

    If you don't want to plan a spa trip, then just drop in any one of the nail
    salons that you walk by to just get a quick manicure or something similar.
    It's something that I've done with friends a few times and just enjoyed
    sitting together and talking for a while.

    If you like walking tours, check out www.bigonion.com or
    www.nycvisit.com(for info about public walking tours and lots more -
    incl specials!).

    Another fun place for a stop during ladies weekend is Max Brenner's
    Chocolate Bar
    http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/42150362/new_york_ny/max_brenner_chocolate_by_the_bald_man.html
    just
    south of Union Square.

    If your trip is a few weeks away, you may want to contact
    www.bigapplegreeter.org for a one-on-one look at a neighborhood.

    Sometimes, the most fun can be had by just wandering around and seeing what
    you come across. This city is always full of surprises. Enjoy your weekend!

    NYC Midtown gave some good advice, but if you want to explore beyond
    midtown, here are some ideas:

    A walk up Broadway from City Hall to midtown is always interesting --
    good people watching, some stores you won't see elsewhere.

    Chinatown is like being in another country.

    Take a walking tour -- unlike the bus tours, most of these are
    excellent, plus you get a bit of exercise. Google "walking tour NY" and
    take your pick. I especially like the Big Onion tours.

    (I just Googled "Christmas NY" and got pages of great ideas!)

    Other good sites are The New York Times <www.nytimes.com> and New York
    Magazine <www.nymetro.com>.

    Have fun!

    You didn't say when you were going, if it's soon then you're in luck, there's nothing better than NY at holiday time. On the down side, if it is soon, you may not get to your show unless the strike gets settled. Broadway is dark, only very few shows are running, which is too bad for people who have already made travel plans. Plan on seeing Tavern on the Green in Central Park, the lights are amazing now, take your time to walk down 5th avenue and see the window displays, as well as the tree in Rockefeller Plaza, and sit and have some hot chocolate and watch the ice skaters. The Plaza Hotel (soon to be condos) offers a wonderful afternoon tea. Don't miss Little Italy, the decorations are worth a trip, and the food is great. I usually take people to the South Street Seaport, it's a unique place to go and you can catch a water taxi ride from there if it's not too cold. I love New York anytime of the year, but christmas is my favorite. If you have time, the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular is awesome. Have a wonderful visit!

    Difficult Size to Fit

    Posted by: "Marilyn Santiesteban" msantiesteban@ATHENAHEALTH.COM

    Fri Nov 16, 2007 8:46 am (PST)

    Hello there:

    Just about everyone is "hard to fit" - we are all made inour own unique
    body mold, which designers don't have access to! The toughest item to get a perfect fit in is pants, so I
    have a unique solution, Here's what I recommed:

    * Have your pants made for you by a tailor or seamstress. If you
    hunt on Craigslist, you will find wonderful dpeople who can create
    clothes made to YOUR measurements. Try a style that hits just below the
    waist, is smooth front and has no pockets. Look a slightly flared
    bootcut leg that will make you look slimmer. Have these pants made in
    three or four basic colors - black, brown, navy, and charcoal. This
    style is simple, clean, slimming and easy to sew, so less expensive to
    have made.

    * Instead of blazers that require a good fit in the shoulder,
    sleeve and bustline to look their best, wear knits. A heavier weight,
    tailored cardigan maybe trimmed with braid can easily stand in for a
    jacket with your gorgeous pants. One cool thing about knits - they can
    be reshaped! Ask any dry cleaner to steam your knits bigger or smaller
    where you need it. When I was pregnant, I had a lot of my knits steamed
    bigger in the front and then shrunk back afterwards. You can get any
    fine knit to fit your body exactly.

    * Wear fabrics with stretch. Under your cardigan, wear a stretchy
    knit top. In the summer I wear higherr-necked tank tops. In the cooler
    months I switch to long sleeve round or turtle neck tops made of cotton
    with spandex that I buy at my local Gap outlet for less than $10.

    * I like the look of a tailored pant and top in a dark color and
    a vest, jacket or sweater in a color that makes it pop - but that's just
    me. Monochrome (all one color) are always elegant and slimming - and ot
    doesn't have to be black. Navy, brown, burgundy - any dark color will
    do.

    you can also try coldwater creek; not only do they have an online
    presence, but they have brick and mortar stores for your shopping
    *perusal* ...

    this is their store main page: www.coldwatercreek.com and this is
    their store locater page: http://www.coldwatercreek.com/StoreLocator/
    ... they also have live
    help online ... i have ordered from them and have been very happy with
    their products ... great quality and style, and i have shopped from
    their maple grove, mn and tyson's corner, va stores ... great service
    ... have a look ...

    I can sympathize with your dilemma, two stores that I regularly shop at are Coldwater Creek and Talbots. Both carry larger sizes, and even if you shop online you can return the clothes to the store, saving on shipping them back. Talbots has a much better selection online, they usually don't have the larger sizes in the store ( not in my area anyway) but Coldwater Creek carries all sizes in the store. The clothes from both are very well made, not the cheaper made stuff you find at stores like LB. Trendy stuff is ok when it's less expensive quality because you probably won't wear it much, but for professional clothes I like good quality that will stand up to time (and numerous trips to the dry cleaners) Also Ralph Lauren has a women's line that has very nice pieces, you could check upscale department stores in your area for that too. One more thing, and this isn't just because I'm a jeweler, don't forget to accessorize! Even an inexpensive outift can look great with the right jewelry. Good luck!

    Sigh. For the most part, it's not *that*
    difficult to make a website that works on all
    browsers. I do it routinely; all my "default
    stuff" is already set up that way. And it's not
    *that* difficult to hire one help desk person who
    knows Macs and Firefox and Safari etc, and can
    take all of those support calls.

    So if the company you work for is willing to
    write off 20% of the market share, I say kudos to
    all the other companies that will benefit from
    this kind of short-sightedness.

    RE: "What kind of company tries to force people
    into using a specific browser for no reason?"

    I can answer that one. The kind of company that
    doesn't want to put the extra time and work into
    making the site work on all browsers. They're
    perfectly happy knowing that they have 80% of
    visitors (more or less depending on their target
    demographic) covered. In my W2 job, we build for
    IE because the client demands it. They build for
    IE because they are unwilling to extend dev and
    qa schedules and multiply support calls/knowledge
    to support the *very* small percentage of people
    who show up with another browser and are
    unwilling to switch to shop the site.

    NYC ideas

    Posted by: "Anne Borg" amborg@covad.net

    Fri Nov 16, 2007 8:47 am (PST)

    One of the best things I did on my first trip to NYC about 18 years ago was to take the Cirlce Line harbor tour on a boat. We circumnavigated the entire island of Manhattan; we were there in early November and although it was chilly on the water, with wind-proof coats we were very comfortable.

    I think this is the operator we went through: http://www.circleline42.com/

    Seems like we paid 10-15 dollars for a 2-3 hour trip (this was 1990, after all!) but I thought it was a great bargain for a land-locked Colorado person to see the big city!

    Enjoy your time -

    Printers & Envelopes

    Fri Nov 16, 2007 9:51 am (PST)

    Hello!

    So, I've designed my own cards for the holidays. I want to get the
    Christmas cards ready soon, but I don't know the first thing about
    printing/envelopes/shipping. Is there a website that serves this
    function for small business people? I want the cards to be printed on
    a nice textured stock, not just any old glossy finish. I'm also
    concerned about shipping.

    Then there's e-commerce sites. I have no idea how to set up a website
    to sell this. I have design ideas for the look, but I don't know how
    to make it work and link up to paypal.

    Any help would be awesome.
    Thanks!

    freelance writers

    Another place to find a good freelance writer is
    FreelanceWriterSearch.com. That site is affiliated with the American
    Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA). All ASJA members are
    experienced writers -- you have to have written a certain number of
    articles or books to get in. Media Bistro and Freelance Success are
    also good places, but they have no professional requirements for
    admission, so they do have a lot more people with little or no
    professional experience.

    And as the other poster said, please don't expect a writer to work on
    your story for free, with promises of a payoff down the line. Writers
    need to be paid upfront.

    What's Better, Dell or Mac

    Posted by: "Kevin Kreitman" kbk@well.com

    Fri Nov 16, 2007 9:51 am (PST)

    I've used PCs for over twenty years, trained people to use them,
    programmed on them, used them for work and leisure, the works. I
    didn't want to hear about Apple computers. About seven years ago, my
    husband (who is a computer scientist and software developer) let me
    use his Mac for a project we were working on together. After about
    three months, I went out and bought a Mac laptop, and have never gone
    back.

    I still have to use a PC for a few things at my day job, but I would
    never go back to buying a PC. Similar story for my 82 year-old
    father, who is a writer, and keeps in touch with all of his friends
    and family online. And my husband's father, who is a PhD
    researcher. Why? In addition to the other things people have said...

    1. Support. When there is a problem with the Mac, we take it to the
    Genius Bar at the local Apple Store. A real live person checks it
    out, and usually fixes it on the spot. When one of our dads has
    trouble or even questions, we can remotely access the machine and see
    what the problem is, and usually fix it. No calls get routed to
    Indonesia, India, or Timbuktu. No walking thru scripts with Tier One
    help support.

    2. Features. The way we keep in touch with my husband's parents, who
    live 3000 miles away, is over Video iChat, and the built in cameras on
    the computers. Even my mother-in-law is enthusiastic about this, and
    she won't touch a computer. It's also how both my husband and I
    routinely work at a distance together. Can you do this with a PC?
    Sure. Is it easy to do? Nope--but it's really easy on the Mac.

    3. Ditto for having access to the Mac programs like iWeb (creating and
    publishing your own web pages with template support and push-button
    publishing to your .Mac account), iWork (Word processing and so much
    more, spreadsheet and electronic slide/animation). Really easy to
    create your own professional copy. We do all the development of
    materials, books, video, audio, etc. on the Mac. The quality is
    unbelievable, because you have access to really professional design
    templates.

    As for price, lots of the features you have to pay more for to add
    onto a Dell or other machine come standard on the Mac, so feature for
    feature, the Mac is as good or a better deal pricewise than most
    PCs. Go to apple.com and check it out or go to an Apple store and
    play with stuff...

    Enough said

    new computer typing slow

    For what it's worth, my computer does that slow typing thing when it is
    running a virus scan in the background. It doesn't tell me it's doing it
    until the test result window pops up at the end, and the typing is fine
    again.

    Looking for wholesale organic baby t-shirts

    Posted by: "Suzanne Gerrior" suzannegerrior@yahoo.ca   suzannegerrior

    Fri Nov 16, 2007 1:57 pm (PST)

    Hello everyone,

    I design and silkscreen t-shirts for babies and young children and I
    have been asked by a retailer to create some t-shirts but she prefers
    that I use organic cotton tees. I am having a little trouble finding a
    wholesaler of organic t-shirts (I prefer not to use American Apparel).
    Can any one recommend an organic t-shirt wholesaler, preferably in
    Canada, but the US is ok too.

    Cheers,
    Suzanne

    I frequently order catalog items from Jessica London and find the sizes
    pretty true with other quality brands. End of year or clearance items
    don't always have a great selection of sizes / colors but if you use
    the website it at least tells you the availability.

    +Re:registering name

    Posted by: "Samantha Castronovo" samanthacastronovo@gmail.com   samilynn01

    Fri Nov 16, 2007 1:58 pm (PST)

    I have had a little but of experience with trademarking. First, you can try
    to do a search on the Patent and Trademark Office's website, at
    http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=l9i071.1.1. This is not a
    simple search, and you should use the Basic, Free Form and Browse Dictionary
    searches. You may want some help with this.

    If you do not find that your name is being used for clothing already by
    someone else (it can be used for other things, like tires and basketballs,
    exercise equipment, you name it), then the best thing to do is publish it
    with the TM symbol after it. The TM symbol basically allows you to put
    others on notice that you have the name. You cannot get a registered
    trademark (the R in a circle symbol) until you can prove you've used the
    name in commerce (selling or advertising it, mostly) anyway.

    So, do the search and put TM after the name you want to protect (it's
    offered as a symbol in Word and I use it for my nonprofit).

    Good luck!
    Samantha
