Smart Discounting: The Right Way To Discount Your Products
If a store had a great discount in the middle of the woods and nobody was around to hear about it, would it make a difference?There are two types of discounting. There are arbitrary discounts; these are the type you just make up because you are trying to close a sale or for some other stupid reason. Arbitrary discounts are not only ineffective, but they can often backfire on you and make you look like a salesman. Then there are legitimate discounts that are in place to move a certain product or for some other acceptable reason.These legitimate discounts work great if you can promote them and use them to bring more customers into your store. Discounts will only eat up your margins if they are not promoted throughout the community. You need to make sure everybody hears about your great discount or else you are doing nothing more than throwing money out the window.You may also use discounts as incentives to buying an outdated product, or a product that you are simply trying to get rid of. Depending on your marketing and your clientele you can also offer cash discounts or discounts for using your ‘in-store’ credit card. These types of discounts ‘make sense’ to the customer and are generally accepted. Not everybody responds to discounts. By having legitimate discounts in place, you will be broadening the range of customers that you can effectively serve.The point being, your discounts need to be justified. Arbitrary discounts are dangerous and ineffective, not to mention they upset

One of the more questionable results of animal disease, hail, fire and destruction of animal feed by locusts etc, is that all the cattle and all the beasts and horses die at least three times from what I can tell. They are either diseased, beaten into pulp or starved by the Wizardry of Moses through Aaron. The Wizards of Egypt simply can't compete. They finally wake up and don't kill more animals at least, but can't get the dead ones back either...but wait...maybe they do!

Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain. 4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel. 5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land. 6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one

Exodus 9:3-6

How to For Sale By Owner Can Sell Fast in a Down Market
1. Correct Pricing - In a buyer’s market, shoppers have plenty of options to choose from. The larger the inventory, the more choices buyers have - and the more price-competitive you need to be. Buyers will discard overpriced homes and concentrate on those that are not over-priced. All broker listed real estate is either over-priced by the amount of the commission or at least less price flexible because of the commission. You have a huge advantage selling privately. Don't blow it by trying to compete with broker listed properties in price! You don't have to reduce your price by six or seven percent; just one to two percent will make worlds of difference. You will sell faster than the brokers and you will still net more than had you used a broker in the first place! A current appraisal by an independent, certified appraiser is simply the best tool available to you to obtain your current market value. Plus, it gives you a negotiating tool to help sell for the most money. Don't use an appraisal that you got for a refinance or loan. The news is full of stories of properties that were over-appraised for a loan. Tell your appraiser that you are having the appraisal done to arrive at a sales price, not to get a loan. Don't tell them what prior appraisals have come in at. Don't tell the appraiser what you think the property is worth. Let them be as objective as possible. You can tell them how quickly you'd like to sell though. This can make a difference in your asking price. Remember that price isn't always just a matter of "what it's worth"

Exodus 4:1-5

And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.

And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared...

Exodus 7: 7-16

And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.

And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.

And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them: as the Lord had said.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh's hear is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.

Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.

And thou shalt say unto him, The Lord God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear."

With the debut Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and the condemnation of such by the new Pope, perhaps we can ask a simple question that any child would ask if they are raised on the many fantastic stories of the Bible. What's the difference between the Wizardry of Harry Potter and that of Moses, Elijah, Jesus, the Apostles and Paul? It's a short answer for a kid... none.

As with hearing voices in the head, if it is in the Bible, it is the voice of God. If it is from a religious person, it may be the voice of God or it may be the voice of a mental condition that needs to be addressed. If it is from a nonbeliever, it is the voice of Satan or definitely mental illness.

But it is a legitimate question and one that any modern child or teen has every right to ask adult fundamentalists and evangelically smitten Christians.

From the account of Moses turning his staff into a serpent, to Aaron matching the tricks of Egyptian Sorcerers, we have what appears to be for all intent and purposes a war between the Wizards. Of course Moses wins and his serpent/staff eats up their serpent/staffs. Next we go on to Moses turning the waters of Egypt into "blood" to be matched by the Wizards of Egypt. Obviously Moses left a little for them to play with as well but for the life of me the best trick would have seemed to be the Wizards turning Moses "blood" BACK into water! Guess they weren't thinking!

From here we, of course go on to, frogs, gnats, flies, diseases, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and killing of innocent children.

Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

Ex. 8:5-6

Frogs are a nice touch, and add eye of newt to the mix and we are back with Harry.

I suppose we would have to get a good mental picture of this "stretching forth" of hands over the rivers etc to get the same picture of Harry Potter doing much the same, with his wand, in his exploits, but what is the difference? In practical fact, none or certainly not much.

The Wizards of Egypt, like a bad movie script, duplicate the trick rather than undo it. Come on boys, wake up use the force for the good of Egypt! Of course, it would seem that duplicating an act that has already occurred is much easier, in some way, than undoing it. We never really hear just how the water turned blood, eventually turned back to pure drinkable water again. I guess it just cleared up.

Interest Only Home Loan - Is It Right For You?
There are many benefits to interest-only mortgage loans. There are many situations where an interest-only mortgage loan could be best for you.Here are some of the situations where an interest only mortgage loan might be beneficial to you:1. If you are in a situation where your income is sporadic and would rather have the option of paying as little as possible sometimes and then paying larger amounts when there is more income, for example, a real estate agent or loan officer.2. If you are investing your mortgage payment savings in something else that is low risk, and has a much higher return on your money than your house payment.3. If you are temporarily in a situation where your income will be low for a while but then increase later on.4. If your mortgage is only temporary, for example, an investor looking to flip a property or someone who is working on a fixer upper. It would be good in any situation where it would be in your best interest to keep the payment low as opposed to creating equity in the home.How much can you save with an interest only mortgage loan? For loan amounts under 500,000 you can usually save around 10% or more off of your mortgage payment. However, that number can vary depending on your individual situation.An interest-only mortgage loan can be very beneficial because it can help you save money on your payment when there are other things that you would like to invest your money in. It also gives you flexibility when your income is sporadic and you need to make sure that

Tires, Recycling and Our Planet
The tires we put on our cars are made of rubber, a renewable resource, right? Not so; well over 90% of all tires are made from synthetics - and they have certainly proved to be an environmental headache.In the USA, about 300 million tires are scrapped or dumped per year.Tires tend to be dumped in huge piles. If these piles should be set alight, the smoke is an extraordinarily toxic cocktail and the runoff from melted residue can contaminate groundwater.Tires left sitting around in the open also collect rainwater and become perfect breeding grounds for mosquitos.While there's been a lot of talk about recycling tires, 25% still wind up in landfills and nearly nearly half of reclaimed tires in the USA are utilized as "Tire Derived Fuel" (TDF), usually burned alongside other fuels such as coal.Burning tires creating huge amounts of toxic air pollution, oil, and heavy metals; including:benzene (carcinogen)leadpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonsbutadiene (central nervous system damage, carcinogen)styrene (potential carcinogen)dioxinsfuransSo unfortunately, taking them to recycling centers mightn't be that earth friendly after all. Check with the center that you go to regarding what happens to the tires they collect. While tires are a necessary evil in our modern lives, there's other things we can do to reduce the number of tires that may wind up being used as a toxic fuel alternative or just dumped in landfills. You can also save some cash in the

Exodus 9:3-6

It does appear all the horses died as well along with the cattle. But.....

"And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him: 7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea"

Exodus 14:6-9

Miracle of miracles, or perhaps wizardry of wizardry...the Egyptian horses are resurrected for perhaps the second time at least and maybe the third, and strike out to attack the Israelites, but die in the Wizardry of Moses who parts the Red Sea with his serpent/rod and drowns the lot of them.....again. I could be wrong, but I don't think left over dogs or goats from the previous plagues could pull a chariot.

In all the events of the Exodus, what is the difference between Harry Potter and Moses? Nothing...

What's the difference...

* Exodus 14: Moses parts the Red Sea -with a serpent/staff. Joshua 3:16: Joshua parts the Jordan -when feet of Priests touched water

* 2 Kings 2:8: Elijah parts the Jordan -with his mantle

* 2 Kings 2:14: Elisha parts the Jordan -with magic mantle of Elijah

* Kings 18: Elijah calls fire to consume sacrifice

* 2 Kings 1: Elijah calls fire upon 2 army units

* 2 Kings 13:21: dead man resurrects when he touches Elisha’s bones

* 2 Kings 2-6: ELISHA: healed waters; she-bears; multiplying oil; unpoisoning food; multiplying food; strikes men blind, not to mention floating axes made to swim "because it was borrowed."

What's the difference between Moses, Elijah, Elisha and Harry Potter? One is in the Bible and one is in a popular book of fiction and adventure, is all.

What's the difference...

* 1 Kings 17:1; 18:45: Elijah commands rain (see also James 5:17) - pretty much a Wizardry thing

* Matthew 8:26: Jesus calmed the storm

* Matthew 14:25, 32: Jesus walks on water; calms a storm

* Matthew 21:19: Jesus withers the fig tree - for having no figs when it was not the season for figs!

* Luke 5:6: miraculous draught of fishes - a calling forth of fish.

* John 2:9: Jesus turns water to wine - Like Dionysus , god of Wine before him, and celebrated by "the Church" on the same day that Dionysus did it.

To a child, all of these are weather and nature related wizardry by any standard, as are the following foolings with Mother Nature and the Heavens in the Bible.

* Joshua 10:13: Joshua stopped the sun, well actually the earth had to stop rotating which went unrecorded anywhere on the planet and no one died elsewhere in the tsunamis.

* Isaiah 38:8: sun went backwards 10 degrees - earth rotated backwards.

* Matthew 2: star in the east brings wise men to Jesus. Wizards show up to honor Jesus. Where was the Rabbi?

* Matthew 27: darkness for 3 hours at crucifixion. Sun drops out of picture or heavy clouds obscure. Could not be a solar eclipse as a full moon during Passover does not permit that phenomenon. No one else on earth notices this either.

A few more..

* Matthew 14:20: Jesus multiplies loaves and fishes - manifesting things that aren't into things that now are.

* Matthew 15:37: Jesus multiplies loaves and fishes again

* Matthew 17:27: Peter gets coin from mouth of fish to pay tax - no one had change?

* Acts 2: tongues

* Acts 5:5,10: Ananias & Sapphira struck dead by Peter’s word - nice way to treat the brethren for not handing over the money to the Church. But what does "struck dead" mean? If he struck them, it's murder, if he mentally zapped them, it's murder.

* Acts 9: light from heaven: Saul’s conversion - manifesting light being

* Acts 12: angel releases Peter from prison - where was the Angel before I got arrested?

* Acts 13:11: Paul strikes sorcerer blind - hey Jesus struck Paul blind too!

* Acts 16: earthquake releases Paul & Silas from jail - now that is one very vibrationally focused earthquake!

To a child, the only real difference between the events in Harry Potter and the events in the Bible is that each is confined to their own book. The wizardry appears to be the same and thus Papal disapproval or Pastoral condemnation to anyone with even a Sunday School education does not wash. Of course, since it is the Bible, that makes it somehow different, yet it is not. Appeals to heavenly authority fall on deaf ears when one sees that wizardry is wizardry no matter where it occurs.

From the raising of the bronze serpent in the wilderness by Moses to save the snake bitten brethren, to it's worship by the people,
