Want to archive your email?
Jul 16th, 2009 by Lucy Katts

One of the problems with email isn’t just spam these days. No, one of the most awkward problems is just how much email many of us want to keep. For instance, I move my emails from family members into a special email folder, which keeps them neat. That’s great, but as they’ve grown over time they’re cluttering up my email application and making it slower. I don’t want to get rid of them, so what can I do?

You can read more about one particular solution at sublime-products.com.

If you use Mozilla Thunderbird, you’ll already know it’s free and it’s great. But if you have a lot of accounts in it and lots of incoming email, it does slow down. To use it efficiently you need to keep the number of emails in it down to a sensible level. Some people have many thousands of emails in their email application.

Some people keep that many because they want to access them whenever they feel like it. That’s great, but the truth is most of us only need to do it once or twice a month ,at most. For me, I was running a sub-optimal system and my email application was slow Using an email backup system now gives me the best of both worlds. I can quickly search for an old email whenever I need one, but my normal email system runs fast and lean, which saves me time every day.

Well, there are several solutions to archiving email and many of them are free.

The various solutions aren’t always easy to use. If you’re looking for an easy solution here are some of the facilities to keep an eye out for:

1) Secure database backup

2) One click backup

3) Simple viewing of emails which have been archived

4) Rapid searching facilities

5) Burn to cd archiving

When you install your solution here’s a tip for you: delete your spam before you do the backup! There’s nothing worse than backing up a ton of spam messages.

2009 Could Be Your Year to Win a Songwriting Contest
Jul 16th, 2009 by Lucy Katts

If you have ever dreamed of writing a hit song, the first thing you should consider is entering a songwriting contest. That is perhaps the best way to get started in the music business.  When you are writing song lyrics and composing the music, you should meditate and let it come from within you.  If you were good at poetry in school, then you probably already have a natural ability to play off of for a songwriting contest.  This venue gives you some exposure to professional people in the music business.  If you have a good idea for a song, you should consider preparing it for a contest so you can let it be heard.

Some common mistakes novice songwriters make is trying to make their song sound like another song.  This is your song, and it should reflect your inner self.  If you have a cause you care about or you are into current events, those are great ways to brainstorm and come up with ideas for lyrics and music.  Depending on what type of personality you are, you may like to start with the lyrics, then add the music.  Other songwriters have a tune in their head that they add lyrics to later.  No matter which way you go, getting involved in a songwriting contest is the best way to get your voice heard about a cause or whatever moves you.

Some things you can do to improve your songwriting skills and have a better chance at winning in a songwriting competition are write about what you know, learn about what a verse, chorus and a bridge are and how you can best utilize them within your song, keep the title as short and catchy as you can (using a double meaning for your title and in the chorus is very catchy), keep your song at around 3 to 4 minutes and watch your grammar for mixing up your past, present and future tenses (this gets confusing to the listener).  Now, go have fun, practice some fun lyrics and be creative, then test out your song ideas and forms with family and friends.  After that, you will be ready to enter a songwriting contest where you can win money, prizes, recording contracts or a combination of products or services.  Life is a dance and people need a good song for dancing - why shouldn’t they dance to yours?

Know Which Loan You Want?
Jul 16th, 2009 by Lucy Katts

Car Loan

The basic types of car loans available are Hire Purchase and Manufacturer’s schemes. Hire purchase car finance is arranged by a car dealership, and in essence means that you are hiring the car from the dealer until the final payment on the loan has been paid, when ownership of the vehicle is transferred to you.

A Manufacturers’ scheme is a type of loan that is put together and advertised by the car manufacturer and can be arranged directly with them or through a local car dealership. You will not own the car until you pay back the loan in full. The car would be repossessed if you default on repayments.

Cash Loan

Cash Loans are also known as Payday Loans, and these loans are arranged for people in employment who find themselves in a situation where they are short of immediate funds.

A Cash Loan can assist you in this situation with short term loans.

Loans are repayable on your next payday, although it is possible to renew your loan until further paydays down the road.

To apply for a Cash Loan you must be in employment and have a bank account with a checkbook. A poor credit rating or debt history is initially not a problem.

Debt Consolidation Loan

Debt consolidation loans can give you a fresh start, allowing you to consolidate all of your loans into one simple loan, which will give you just one easy-to-manage payment, and in most cases, at a lower rate of interest.

Secured on your home, these debt consolidation loans can sweep away the pile of repayments to your credit and store cards, HP, loans and replace them with one, low cost, monthly payment that is calculated to be well within your means.

With a Debt Consolidation Loan, you can borrow up to 125% of your property value in some cases.

It can reduce BOTH your interest costs AND your monthly repayments, putting you back in control of the life you want to lead.

Wealth Creation With Tangible Assets
Jul 16th, 2009 by Lucy Katts

I studied the tiny book that galvanized the successful book and film The Secret called The Science of making money by Wallace D Wattles. It made me think of the Universal Guidelines I learned decades back. The book does not get into details of why the guidelines work.
How cool is that? The Secret and its interpretation of the Law of Attraction drew lots of furore. One debate is the simplicity of using the Law of Attraction to become materially made. Yes, by standing shoulder to shoulder with successful people, you too will attract success and experience wealth creation.

I do not need to realise how electricity works to brighten my home at night.

The writer of the book starts with a consultation of humanitys right to be rich. To earn money doing what one loves is everyones dream. However, many of us learn it does not work that way. Material wealth can make contributions to the betterment of the planet. It is our right and requirement to be made. The writer explains that there’s a science to getting rich, a process that if followed correctly, works each time. Most everybody has heard of folks that succeed against all chances and prophecies. The Science of making money insists that opportunity isn’t monopolized by the select few. Opportunity abounds at each step of life.

The difference between a rich person and a poor person is the way they act and think. Rich parents teach their kids the Certain Way of doing things that made and keeps them well off. The writer says that there’s an unending supply of wealth. It’s the nature of the universe to move toward more life. Everybody thinking and acting in a Certain Way will be rich.
