		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Throughout time, women have had a love affair with footwear. Forget diamonds or furs ? footwear has been and continues to be the accessory of choice for many women from all social circles. Just look inside any woman's closet and you are sure to find more than one pair of shoes inside. In fact, rarely will you find only one pair. You are more likely to find shoes for work, shoes for play, shoes for exercising and more types of footwear including several pair of boots and at least one pair of slippers. </P><P>And almost every woman, at some time during her life, has owned at least one pair of womens suede boots .Now, womens suede boots are making a comeback. Throughout the years, this type of footwear has come into and gone out of style which in fashion terms makes this style a classic. Look around and you will see that boots made from suede are everywhere; at playhouses, at chic nightclubs, in shopping malls, at the beach and all places in between. There are so many trendy styles available and so many ways to wear womens suede boots that there is just not enough room here to list them all.How you wear a pair of womens suede boots really is just a matter of the look that you are trying to achieve. If you are simply looking for comfort, a pair of neutral colored, ankle length boots will do the trick. </P><P>The natural color of the boot will match any outfit. Don a few suede accessories such as a purse and/or a lightweight suede jacket and you will achieve a look that is comfortable and very stylish. If you are heading out for a night on the town, you will want a style that looks good. Oftentimes women have to trade off comfort for appearance. Not so when you pair your outfit with suede boots. </P><P>A tall length boot in black will give you a look that is sleek and sophisticated (and best of all, comfortable!) If instead you will be spending the night watching the latest hit movie that has been released on DVD, then a pair of suede boot style slippers will be the right choice. Any look you are trying to achieve, whether it is the western look, the punk look, the trendy look or the outrageous look, can be accomplished simply by finishing off your outfit with the right pair of womens suede boots.The nice thing about womens suede boots is that they are made from animal skin, a natural material. If an animal's skin can protect the animal from the elements, just think how these boots can help protect your feet. A double faced suede material will have the best mix of features. The inside of the boot will be soft and pliable and after just a short amount of time wearing the boots, the insoles will conform to the shape of the arch. </P><P>The natural wicking properties of the animal skin will keep moisture and perspiration away from the feet helping them stay dry, comfortable and odor free. To reap the most benefits, these boots should be worn on bare feet.Then consider the outside of the boot. Because it is easy to dye suede, these boots are available in a rainbow of color options. Plus, there are literally hundreds of styles to choose from. With so many color and style options available, it is easy to wear womens suede boots making this the number one reason why these boots have yet to go out of style.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Traveling the world will take you to many places and in some of them you may even find treasures. But treasures are not always made of gold or diamonds. Treasures are also made of copper. And in Santa Clara del Cobre in the Mexican state of Michoac?n you will understand why treasures are also made of this modest and noble metal.Copper, the 29th element, is believed to have been mined for about 5000 years now accompanying humanity and civilization through most of his great technological accomplishments. In modern times copper is an ever present element in the electrical and electronic industry. </P><P>But that's not the only area of our modern lives where copper is present. Since ancient times Mexican artisans have used copper as a valuable material to fabricate beautiful and intrincate artisan works, among them there is one branch of artisans that combine practicality and art in their work. They are those dedicated to fabricate beautiful raw copper sinks in Santa Clara del Cobre.These sinks are fabricated entirely by hand using the same ancient techniques of their indigenous ancestors. Even gas is forbidden to heat and soften the metal, they use only charcoal in small fires in the shops and helped by their inseparable hammer artisans give life and form to the copper plates placed into the fire. But this is not all, after getting the desired shape, the sinks surface has to be treated so that they will last and look like new for many years. </P><P>For this they use a process called "patination" which is done under heat and that gives the surface of the copper sinks their characteristic color and durability.Many people may think that copper sinks are soft or fragile but that's not so. They are sturdy enough to substitute a regular, series made, stainless steel sink. It is sturdy enough that even bathtubs are fabricated entirely on copper. And due to the "patination" process they won't acquire a greenish color or get rusty as those old pennies that didn't have the luck of being "patinated".The charming town of Santa Clara is full of shops that work day after day to bring to life this wonderful pieces that are considered a national art. They are so proud of their skills that every corner is adorned with copper, even street lamps have their share of copper. </P><P>If you ever have the chance to visit Mexico, make plans and include Santa Clara del Cobre in your schedule. Who knows and you may even end cooking in a copper pan and relaxing in your own copper tub while your dinner is being cooked under a copper kitchen hood.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>As they say, getting there stopped being half the fun when airplanes were invented. If you travel a lot, here are some tips to make it more palatable. 1.Go ahead and pay to join something like AA's Admirals Club. With it you'll get assistance with reservations, seat selection and boarding pass issuance; a quite place to wait and work; complimentary snacks and beverages; private bar at most locations, and showers at some. At around $450/yr. </P><P>for one person, it could be well worth it.2.Use airport Conference Rooms and Executive Centers.Saves everything from nerves to time to money. No membership required. Eliminates need for overnight stay, hotel or car rentals. There are 22 available at O'Hare, for instance. Executive Centers come equipped with everything you need to conduct business. </P><P>Call 1-800-237-7971, option 3. 3.Keep all your luggage on wheels, use one carryon, invest in good luggage. According to the US Transportation Dept., about 1 in 200 bags are lost, misdirected or stolen, which is about one person per flight. 87% of this happens at the curbside check-in station. Advantages: don't have to tip porter; don't have to arrive as early; if you miss your connection, you can easily rebook yourself; you can easily volunteer to be bumped on a full flight; no wait once you land. </P><P>4. Take a book with you. Better than TV in most hotel rooms, good for waits, also good to hide behind if you get next to someone in the plane who annoys you. Leave it behind for another traveler or tear off chapters as you go along and lighten you load.5. The travel wardrobe. </P><P>Coordinate to one color, like black. Many women, myself included, swear by Tencel?. Indestructible, always looks nice. Choose the right print blouses and it won't show stains. Gentlemen, consider microfiber fabrics. </P><P>Choose something with inner pockets (that zip!) for important papers and cash. 6.Don't appear wealthy.Especially important in 3rd world countries. Wear cheap-looking watch and jewelry and leave the diamonds at home. Makes you less of a target for pick pocketers and luggage theft. If you must take a camera, guard the lens; popular with pick pockets as well.Remove luggage tags from other trips. </P><P>It's a tip-off for thieves looking for the "rich frequent traveler".7.Cash.Hide cash in different parts of your body. If traveling internationally, get new bills, as some countries won't take "dirty" money. In Africa, for instance take new $100 bills. The exchange rate on anything lower is not good. Check with someone else who's been where you're going. </P><P>i.e., in Russia, they aren't supposed to take US dollars, but they sure do.8.If you get a rental car, write down all the information about it. Just in case you forget what you're driving.9.Stay alert. Take a water bottle with you for dehydration and drink 2 glasses of water before you board. While on the plane, splash water on your face; when you get to the hotel, take a warm bath. Dry membranes are more vulnerable to infection.Go rested. </P><P>Try the Argonne Anti-Jet-Lag Diet: http://performance.netlib.org/misc/jet-lag-diet .10.Take measures to avoid developing deep vein thrombosis.Drink lots of water, avoid beverages that dehydrate, avoid salty food, wear support socks, get up and move around whenever you can, exercise your feet and legs 4-5 mins. every hour. 11. Check out some of the travel products at sites such as www.magellan.com . You'll find No-Jet Lag tablets, head and foot rests, packing aids, micro fiber wear, all sorts of helpful things.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>On March 28, SportsCrew.com and GamingClubPoker.com presented The Potentate and High Priest and Prophet from the Atlanta Divan of the Shiners Hospital for Children with a check for over $60,000. "These are the highest ranking Shiners in the North Georgia Region. It's pretty amazing all of the time and effort these men put forth and get no compensation in return", said R.J. Bergh, Poker Manager for SportsCrew.com and professional poker player.This is the second event that SportsCrew has sponsored for the Shriners in the past month. Through both tournaments, over $100,000 has already been donated in 2005. </P><P>"It's an amazing thing, the Shriners Hospitals.  A child gets injured or hurt and they accept no money from the family.  While the players were playing for a great prize, they were playing for an even better cause", continues to say Mr. Bergh, he left the tournament with this closing statement: "it feels good to be instrumental in such a great cause. We feel proud and blessed to having been able to help all these children." These 2 poker tournaments are part of an effort by SportsCrewPoker.com, which looks to raise a total of $500,000 donated to different charity causes in 2005, including 2 more events for the Shriners Hospitals for Children and various more events in benefit of The American Cancer Society, the American Diabetes Society, and Special Olympics.The tournament was full of excitement and in a rush of blood to the head that only poker can give, Glenn Rezaee took home a seat in the 2005 WSOP main event; where he will contend for $5,000,000. </P><P>On the final table, in a memorable heads-up play between James Moore and Glenn Rezaee, Rezaee was the first to make a move on the final hand, declaring all in.  Moore immediately called.  Moore flipped over King of Diamonds, ten of Diamonds.  Rezaee dropped his pocket jacks on the table and the race was on.  Flop came 4d3s6h, followed by the turn of Js, which left Moore drawing dead. </P><P> After the chips were counted, Glenn had James covered by a mere 2000 in chips and is on his way to the 2005 World Series of Poker main event. After all was said and done, the real winners were the children at the Shriners Hospitals for Children. We invite you to join us in this noble cause, please visit <a href="http://www.SportsCrewPoker.com" target="_blank">http://www.SportsCrewPoker.com</a> and stay current with our events and offline poker tournaments.SportsCrew is a high-traffic sport and gaming portal (6,293 Alexa Ranking) that focuses its resources on the promotion and expansion of the online poker and gaming industry through print media, broadcast media, website marketing, guerrilla marketing strategies and live-event sponsorships.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P><b>The Future Is Flexible</b>Gone are the days when the only way you could afford a cell phone was to buy into a lengthy cell phone plan. In those early days, a cell phone plan included a seemingly ironclad contract that lasted a minimum of three years. There simply were no choices. If you wanted a cell phone you had to buy the phone and commit to being tied to a contract; like it or lump it.Thankfully those days are over and today because of the number of service providers, choices abound! Today's cell phone plans are designed with the consumer and their multitude of choices in mind. The wireless customer can choose an affordable cell phone with many choices and combinations of cell phone plans. </P><P>That's the good news! There is bad news though, with the large volume of information available today, where does a person start to look and how do they decide what to choose?<b>Choices, Choices, Choices</b>That's the reason for this article. My goal is to help guide you through the myriad of choices that are available and to introduce you to the world of prepaid cell phones, family plans and shared plans for multiple cell phones. I'll be giving you some suggestions on how to match the best cell phone plan for you and your lifestyle. I'll also be giving you an idea where to find some ratings and reviews.There are a few things to consider when making a decision. Once that's done you can look into the various reviews on what's currently available. </P><P>Some internet sites provide ratings for the cell phone plans they advertise and are always striving to inform the customer about their newest offerings and hottest deals.<b>Decision Helpers</b><ul><li>Hardware & Software.</li><li>What's Available?</li><li>The prepaid cell phone ? Diamonds & Dust.</li><li>Contracts ? Bundles of Bargains.</li><li>Companies you can count on.</li><li>What's your style?</li></ul><b>Hardware And Software</b><b>The Hardware</b>When it all comes down to it, isn't it all about the phone? This is primarily one of the first of the decision making factors because it determines what kind of phone you'll get. This is especially true when you are looking at what can be a very expensive purchase.Almost every cell phone company provides the most simple or the most complex cell phones with their prepaid cell phone packages. Companies such as Verizon, Cricket, and Nextel all offer easy consumer friendly "pay as you go" options.If you chose a contract, there seems to be a formula but some companies have very enticing offers especially if you are changing service providers. The basic rule of thumb seems to be:<ul><li>$50.00 price reduction for a one year contract.</li><li>$100.00 price reduction for a two year contract.</li><li>$150.00 price reduction for a three year contract.</li></ul>As mentioned above some service providers offer up to a 75% discounted price for a top of the line cell phone in exchange for a three year contract. As a particularly good salesman told me "you can always get out of a contract these days, you just have to pay it out". </P><P>Because the cell phones offered by most service providers are top of the line items from Motorola and Nokia and the contract is so consumer friendly it will be easy for you to stick with a contract for three years.<b>The Software</b>The service provider is the most important software factor when choosing between a prepaid cell phone and cell phone plan contract. This is an important issue because even the best phone is only as good as its signal.Buyers beware however; some service providers' piggyback on top of more established lines. If it's a case of first come; first serve and your service provider piggybacks, you could be the first one off. This results in dropped calls and unreliable air space. Not a good outcome to your purchase. </P><P>So do your research diligently.<b>What's Available?</b>Because it's all about the phone, ask yourself the following questions. What kind of phone do you want? Do you want one that is bare bones or one that has it all? Does the cell phone company or service provider offer a phone that comes with family or shared plans? If you chose a family plan, are both phones equally efficient? Do you want a cell phone that doubles as a palm pilot or perhaps you want a <a href="http://www.cell-phone-n-plans.com/camera-cell-phones.html">cell phone camera</a>?All these questions will determine where you want to look when making your choice between a contract and a prepaid cell phone plan. There may be some features that you can live without. Knowing this upfront will help you determine what is best for you. There are numerous websites that provide ratings and reviews of what is currently available. </P><P>Surf the web and research Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, Nextel, Cricket and Cingular.The most popular plans these days are shared plans or family plans. Family plans are useful to the small business because each employee can have a cell phone and the company receives just one invoice. This is a good way of keeping track of communication expenses. This applies to a small business but one invoice is a good way to monitor family budgets as well.<b>Prepaid Cell Phones?Diamonds & Dust</b><b>Diamonds</b><ul><li>Prepaid minutes can be less expensive than contract minutes.</li><li>No Credit checks, no hassles!</li><li>No monthly bill, you've paid upfront.</li><li>No service fees.</li></ul><b>Dust</b><ul><li>Extras costs more, long distance and roaming fees can be very expensive.</li><li>Not all services are included, you may not be able to surf the web.</li><li>Your phone only works in analog areas (quite common in more remote areas).</li><li>Prepaid minutes can be more expensive on a minute by minute basis. Read the fine print.</li></ul><b>Contracts ? Bundles Of Bargains</b>The most attractive feature about cell phone contracts is the bundle concept. </P><P>There are numerous cell phone plans to make it easy for you to adhere to a contract and get a bundle of great deals. You can get special "add ons" like three way calling and call display. You can purchase a relatively nice cell phone at a reasonable price. As mentioned above contracts are not the iron clad document they used to be. If need be you can get released from them and you do get nicer phones!<b>Companies You Can Count On</b><b>Tried & True</b>There are so many cell phone companies and service providers these days, who can you, count on? For the best hardware (the phone) and the best software (airtime and air quality), you could choose cell phone companies that have been in the communication business for a long time. </P><P>Verizon is one of these companies. They have a long standing tradition of superior customer service and product dependability. AT&T is also a long established communications company with impeccable standards.<b>Up & Coming</b>There are also some new cell phone companies and service providers who are making a good name for themselves because of the attention to quality as well. Check out new companies such as Nextel (a proud sponsor of NASCAR), T-Mobile, Cingular and Cricket.There are reviews you can read about the latest and newest technology about all of the above companies so go to each company's websites and check out how their phones rate against each other.<b>What's Your Style?</b>Truly today, it is all about you and your unique lifestyle. This is the most important decision making factor of all. </P><P>You know what you need in a cell phone plan. The key is finding the best one that will serve your needs best. Don't be intimidated or overwhelmed by the number of choices out there. Just keep in mind; it's all about your unique communication needs. Read these two short scenarios. </P><P>They will help to show you what could be right for you.<i>Your job takes you all over the world. Your friends have a hard time keeping track of you because you are always on the move. You pay your bills on the internet and phone your family periodically just to let them know you're "OK".</i>OR<i>You're still in school and living at home. Your parents want you to keep in touch but you're sick of pay phones. Borrowing your friend's cell phone is getting old but you still need to check in.</i>The first scenario indicates that a prepaid cell phone would suit your lifestyle well. </P><P>Make sure you prepay your minutes and avoid those pricey extra airtime costs. Use an international company such as AT&T so that you receive global coverage.The second scenario indicates that your family needs a shared plan like the family plans currently available. Surf the web and research companies like Verizon and AT&T.<b>The Bottom Line ? Choices Do Abound!</b>So there you have it, the future is flexible and choices do abound. I hope you have found this article helpful as you make that choice between a prepaid cell phone and a cell phone contract. Keep in touch!. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Have you seen any headlines like these lately? :10 Trillion Double Opt-In leads for $69.99! Earn Massive Automated Income, Just By Feeding Your Cat!! Joe Guru Shows You How!Chances are you've seen more of those hyped up offers than you care to think about, especially if you are new to the world of online marketing.Many of us are born with an innate "B.S." alarm that sends us running the other way from these scams. Yet, there are some very clever salespeople on the Internet who manage to cloak their losing propositions well enough to lure in the newbie marketer. Sometimes we're just lured in by pure curiosity.So, how do you sort the diamonds from the coal? What is the best way to protect yourself and your pocketbook, but still find the information you need?Tip #1: Value Long Term Success over Short Term GainThe idea of a speedy path to riches allures each of us. It's a natural human impulse to seek instant gratification. Sometimes the promise of overnight wealth is all the more poignant when we're stuck in jobs we don't enjoy, or have mounting debts from which we yearn to escape.Unfortunately, the Internet is not a lottery (despite what you may have heard). </P><P>Even those with stories of apparent overnight wealth had to invest time, money and know-how in order to reap their reward.Seek out those products which teach you how build a business from the ground up, nurture it and expand it. That is the true road to wealth.Tip #2: Be Aware of Where You Are In Your Business DevelopmentWhen you understand your strengths and your limitations, you make informed choices. Sometimes a great product comes along for which you simply aren't ready. If you're strong on traffic building skills, but weak on writing copy, invest in learning how to write good copy or in hiring a talented copywriter. This will rocket you ahead much more quickly than spending another dime on "guaranteed traffic" techniques.Likewise, invest in an education on general business and marketing principles if you're starting from scratch. </P><P>You need to understand the mindset of the entrepreneur before you begin working the "details" like building your opt-in list. Remember, you could have thousands of potential customers join your list or visit your web site, but it will make no difference if your business model is directionless and your sales skills ineffective!Tip #3: Use Old Fashioned Common SenseOne of the amazing skills shared by expert copywriters is the ability to make the obvious sound like a closely guarded nuclear secret. There really are no secrets when it comes to online success, merely degrees of awareness.Evaluate each product that attracts you with this in mind. Ask yourself whether the sales pitch is forthcoming about the subject matter. What area of expertise are you lacking in and will this product address that deficit? If the most you can glean from the product is that it's packed full of "stunning things we can't even give you a hint about", you're probably better off passing it by.Finally, keep your eyes open for high-quality and free sources of information. </P><P>This can include newsletters, articles online and message boards. You can, in fact, arm yourself with a wealth of information just by networking and asking questions. You won't have to spend a dime this way; and, you'll know where to spend it when the time is right.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Just because you don't have a lot of money doesn't mean you can't find an affordable engagement ring that looks like it cost a fortune.Tips on getting more diamond for your dollar when choosing an affordable engagement ringFirst, the diamond shape you choose can help make your ring look like it's worth a lot more than you really paid. A marquise-shaped diamond, for example, looks larger than a round diamond. Pear-shaped and oval-shaped diamonds are also good choices for diamond engagement rings because they look larger than their round counterpart.The setting you choose can also make your engagement ring look very glitzy and expensive.  In particular, an Illusion setting. The diamond is mounted on a metal plate similar to a mirror, which makes the diamond appear bigger and more brilliant.The quality of the diamond you choose is also important if you want an affordable engagement ring. </P><P> Your personal preference will prevail, but it's possible to sacrifice quality for size.  Colored diamonds are a popular choice, so one possibility is to opt for a lower grade color to get more diamond for your dollar.Where to look for an affordable engagement ringWhy go past the World Wide Web?  Crank up the computer and browse online, it's the easiest, most pain-free way to find a great affordable engagement ring that's not going to break the bank.Of course, who can go past e-Bay for a bargain-priced affordable engagement ring?  Another good value online jewelry auction site is <a href="http://Bidz.com" target=new>Bidz.com</a>.  But a word of advice - make sure you do your homework before placing a bid.  Get a handle on the various grades of diamonds available and the type of metal you fancy - be it yellow gold, white gold or platinum.Check out your local pawnshops too, they usually have terrific bargains on affordable engagement rings.  And if it makes you feel a bit, well, icky, owning a pawnshop engagement ring, just remember that antique and vintage engagement rings are all the rage - and they have a history too.Finding a bargain-price affordable engagement ring makes sense. </P><P> It leaves you plenty of money to spend on other things you may need for your new life together.  Like a ride-on mower, perhaps?. </P>]]></content:encoded>
