Resolved Question: Am I unique and mysterious?

This is just for fun, and i was just wondering if i was unique and/or mysterious. i will describe myself and what i like doing and then please give me an honest answer and i will either pick an answer or let others decide :) thanks so basically i am 14 and english. when i am older i AM going to be an astronomer (there's no question about it because i am too passionate lol). on wednesday evenings i go to astronomy club which i managed to find in my local area and not many people know i go to this, it is not something i really advertise. lol. i am also really into ghosts, myths, and freaky co-incidences. my hallway outside my bedroom is definitely haunted because i can feel it and whilst i have been writing this my door has already opened by its own free will, this happens very regularly. i go to a grammar school and really want to go to university. i used to be part of the 'popular' group but broke away from them because of how they treated people and what they talked about (basically boys and make-up) and i now have amazing friends who are not nerds but are not popular, we have loads in common and i feel able to talk about anything with them. i suppose i am quite confident and i take a lot of risks. also i am really superstitious (i think i spelt it wrong sorry) and believe in almost anything but not like gullible, more like deep-minded and wouldn't cancel things out, i am not sure why but i think it is because of my love for astronomy, which is absolutely amazing and so mind-blowing, that nothing else can really comprehend what you learn in that topic and if all of the occurrences which made the universe and us can happen, then surely things like ghosts, spirits, luck and magic can easily happen. my style is kind of rock chick, not really gothic but kinda alternative if you can describe it like that. i wear lace up boots or doc martins, leggings, michael jackson t-shirts or other strange t-shirts that i love, either leather jackets or waist-coats, vintage jewellery and eye liner and mascara. I may appear to be fun and free willing at school but my friends always say i go into really deep thought a lot, and i kind of know it myself, like my eyes just glaze over and people keep like waving and clicking at me and i don't even notice, and online i looked up stuff to do with my star sign and it talked about how libras go into like a kind of trance sometimes and this is when hugely deep thought is going on and it said something like, no one can begin to imagine the deepness of thought that occurs during this time not even libras themselves. i guess i do go into deep thought a lot so that is pretty accurate and sometimes i cant remember what i was thinking about when i come out, usually it is about like the universe and death lol (cheerful much). well anyways, i am just wondering if i am unique and mysterious? thanks xx more

Voting Question: Seen UK top 5 broadband rip-offs? & how best to deal with 'em? What do you think is the best deal? How 2 beat?

I put this in Politics as Govt promise to roll out superfast broadband Is there a corrupt angle? UK's top broadband rip-offs, together with a few ideas on how you can combat them. 1) Super-fast broadband You might think super-fast broadband sounds amazing. Lightning-fast deals via next-generation fibre technology allow you to surf the net at more than 5 times the usual speed (50Mb). Unfortunately, however, super-fast broadband generally comes with a much higher price tag than packages with standard connection speeds. And I think, at £40 a month, providers are ripping us off - especially when you take into account a 8Mb package with a 10GB usage limit can cost less than £6 a month. The fact is, unless you need faster speeds for things like watching internet TV or downloading HD movies regularly, these packages probably have far greater capability than you really need. If you're not a heavy user, paying the higher monthly cost is a waste of money, frankly. 2) Restrictions on download limits Many broadband providers boast of unlimited download limits, only to accompany these bold statements with a little asterisk which, on closer inspection directs you to a fair use policy that restricts the amount you can actually download. Fair use policies are often a get out of jail free card for providers which advertise unlimited download limits, only to impose penalties or other restrictions if you exceed a certain threshold. And, to make things even more complicated, finding out about your own download habits can sometimes feel like trying to break into Fort Knox. For example, when I called my own provider to ask them about my usage, I was only told that I ‘need not worry'. This ambiguous phrasing may make little difference in my case, but in some circumstances you'll only realise you've exceeded your fair usage limit when you get a warning from your provider – or worse, when a hefty bill lands on your doormat. If you want to gauge your surfing habits, this data usage calculator from Virgin is a nifty tool which will give you an idea of your own monthly usage, which you can then use to get the best plan for you. Alternatively, providers Be and O2 offer super-fast broadband with truly unlimited download limits. 3) Broadband without a landline. If you move into a property without a BT landline in place, it will cost you £124.99 to connect yourself to the outside world, plus £10.50 a month in line rental, unless you commit to an 18-month contract. If you don't fancy forking out all this just to get connected, one alternative is Virgin media which, providing you live in a cabled area, will connect you without the need for a BT line (£30 connection fee applies). In addition, some providers such as Tiscali make use of local loop unbundling (LLU) to bypass BT and offer inclusive line rental. LLU enables ‘local loops' (or put simply, the cable through which you receive your broadband) to be freed up so other providers can design their own broadband packages to provide alternative, and often cheaper services. The third way you can get connected to the internet without the need for a BT landline is via a dongle . Dongles provide a convenient way of getting online, though from experience provide much slower download speeds than conventional broadband. Check out my latest article on dongles . 4) Tag on the line This is one of the sneakiest ways broadband providers can stop you from switching easily. They put what's known as a 'tag' on your line, which is difficult to remove. When you run into trouble, they often point the finger at your landline provider, who then points the finger back at the broadband provider, and so on. What many people don't realise is that you have to talk to the provider you want to switch to and ask them to remove it. Luckily, Broadband Choices offers a handy list of numbers on its website to contact with regards to having a tag on your line. 5) Long contract terms Last but not least, contract lengths for broadband, and indeed your mobile phone are slowly creeping up, and these days you'll often have to sign an 18 and sometimes a 24 month contract in order to secure the best deals. However, there is light at the end of the broadband tunnel, and if you don't want to be tied into a lengthy contract, you could always opt for a provider which doesn't impose one. For example, you can now get one-month only contracts from providers like Plusnet and Zen, which enable you to switch at any time. Obviously, your broadband service is unlikely to be 100% perfect, 100% of the time, but hopefully these small tips will help you on your way to a smoother surfing experience.

Resolved Question: Help! Do you have any creative and inexpensive advertising ideas?

I help run youth theatre camps with a local theatre company, and we're having a real tough time getting kids to sign up this year. Currently, we have all sorts of online advertising (ads we pay for and free listings), we pass out flyers at all the schools that will let us, we have flyers in a few local businesses, and we're even paying people to work for us as recruiters. And we're still getting no one--I don't know what's going on, we've never had a tough time in past years. Anyway, I need more advertising ideas-ones that won't cost a fortune (meaning commercials won't happen). Do you have any clever little ways to advertise for little or no cost? I was trying to think of some clever ideas, and I thought maybe we could make bookmarks (advertising our camp) and slip them into library books geared towards kids aged for our camps. Would I get into trouble for this? This probably sounds stupid, but we're getting desperate, I've run out of good ideas! Help me! (PS. I should also mention that the libraries won't let us advertise by putting out flyers because we're not a not-for-profit company. So, I was trying to think of a way around this)Yes, we do have a website. We also have PPC advertising through google, microsoft, and facebook. (The facebook one is getting really expensive!) Thomas, I don't understand that website.... If it's called "Add Your Site Free" why do I have to pay? I don't know if that would help much, I guess I should have mentioned that we really just need local advertising. more

Resolved Question: I am going to be a DAD! I need to make $10,000 in 2 months from my new business. Help me with ideas! (Please)?

This post is not some sort of cheap attempt to get a measly few more views on my site from this community. I genuinely want your ideas on my situation. My situation (A new beginning): I just started an IT business a few months ago on the Gold Coast (IT Support, Web design, Computer repair, Computer sales etc). I went all out and QUIT MY JOB to make this happen. Most of my available funds and time have gone in to equipment, general setup (server, web site, some starter clients). I have a couple of refered clients (from friends and family) but not nearly enough to cover my old wage as an Network Administrator. Dilemma (The news): Soon after Quitting my job to start this business I found out I AM GOING TO BE A DAD! Great news...! I am ecstatic! but fearful at the same time because of my situation. My wife will soon be unable to work and I will need to support the family myself. Doing the sums, I figure that unless my business makes an extra 10k in the next 2 months (to cover some financing etc) I will have to give up on the Business and look for work. That would not be a good option as it is hard to find a good salary in IT on the Gold Coast to cover living expenses for Me, My wife, My Mother in-law (living with us) and a new born due in in a few months. So you see, my business MUST WORK! I have no other option. About 5 - 10 new steady clients would do it, but how?! Done so far: Here are some of the things I have done so far (Please be honest with your criticism on these, I need to know what to change): *Registered a business name "DO IT Solutions" (Direct & Online IT Solutions) *Purchased a 1300 number 1300 DO IT 4U / 1300 36 48 48 (cheesy I know) *Created a dot com dot au website (I hope I am allowed to put this:) doitsolutions.com.au *Created a "DOITSolutions" facebook page with a custom welcome page using FBML facebook.com/doitsolutions *Created a twitter account twitter.com/doitsolutions *Linked the special offers on my web site to an RSS feed which updates Facebook and Twitter *Offered a discount for facebook fans (to help raise the amount of fans that will in tern receive my specials via facebook as listed, there are 47 at the moment I think, just friends of mine) *Added links from the front page of my web site to become a facebook fan or follow on twitter *Listed with online advertising on Truelocal (com au site) for $300 / month, considering cancelling it as only getting about 1 view per day and no calls :( *Listed with many other free online advertising sites and some cheaper paid ones (Clickfind, dlook etc) So far I just haven't managed to penetrate the market enough. Please help me think of ideas: Example idea: 1) Brochure, local handout: I am thinking of creating a brochure. One side with an IT Support special and the other side with a Web design special. Maybe a cheap monthly payment plan for a new website (eg. $70 - 80 / month, maybe including domain registration and web hosting or similar) instead of reducing my upfront amount web site amount. And then delivering it to my local businesses. I would hate being one of those annoying people that drop and to give you a brochure unannounced, but I am that determined to make this work. Please, any ideas will help. Share a story about a a similar experience, or a possible idea for a plan. Any input would be much appreciated! :) Michael A. more

Resolved Question: ANOTHER COLLEGE PAPER??? Why yes indeed it is! Would you please mind helping me?

I'm writing a business proposal for a place I'm interning at, and that is to be reviewed by a professor. It's basically regarding a free online database for alternative and/or medicine. In order for it to be free, we need to make money off of advertisers. Who would be good businesses to talk to about paying to advertise on our website? There is a few criteria: 1. They should be small local businesses that generally cater to sustainable living, such as fair trade products, hand-made crafts, family-owned restaurants, and food co-ops. 2. If they are big business ideas, then they should hopefully be somewhat in sync with the basic philosophy of economic equity and sustainability. We want more than anything to help promote small businesses, especially during these economic times, but it wouldn't hurt to have a few large ones on there too. We also would like any advertisers to be unconnected with pharmaceutical companies, if possible. Just respond to this question with ideas, or shoot me an email if you have further questions or wish to share information that you don't want posted on here.Sorry, I meant it's a "free online database for alternative and/or HOLISTIC medicine." more

Resolved Question: Why in the world are all these "online degree programs" so very very expensive?

I have checked into the pricing of most every advertised "get you degree online here" programs that are advertised on tv and on webpages...WTF???? What is wrong with these people? There prices per credit hour are outrageous and highly unjustified and downright greedy and hec. WTF is the deal? They are in fact...so very greedy and ill priced.that most of them after spending 30 minutes navigating all over their site..you still will not have found ANY info on their cost for tuition...which makes it seem like it is a F***ing SECRET or somthing!!! i have had to write to most of them or fill out their little crap and let them bombard me with freakin' phone calls...just to find out or get any idea at all of their cost...that is how embearassed these people are of their greed...the go out of their way to absolutley avoid the issue on their FAQ pages and all the rest of their website areas.... Why is it so stupidly expensive at the "Online Only" colleges...you all know the names of them. University of Phoe***, Wald** University., etc... How in the world do they justify this staggering sticker shock of tuition fees when they should automatically be so much cheaper because they have no brick and mortar campus to maintain..which should in my mind greatly affect cost... My God man! I could goto HARVARD for the same money....these people.. WTF???? Please adivse. Why are they so expensive...??? Other than greed...and why all of them? How do THEY justify this greed/redicuous absurd tuition and fees...when everything is online. I feel sorry for the folks that do not realize their local communty college. or most any college anywhere nowadays offers most of their classes online, hence the same degree mostly from home....done online...or a substanial portion of it...but also with the benifit of a b&m place to goto when you have a problem or need help...a much better value of course by any way you look at it... all for much much cheaper. Without all the burden of massive student loans that these schools I am complaining about are so quick to push you into...they act like it's free money..you know you cannot even claim bankrupcy for student loans...you are stuck with them babies for life man.. These places are in my opinion...a ripoff...and they prey on the non prudent. How do these places justify their super expensive tuition and fees is my question..play devil's advocate and come to their defense...I cannot imagine? Thank you in advance for your time, Perry in FLIs answerer correct? I though these expensive online colleges are accredited and different than simply those "online degrees" that you buy. more

Resolved Question: Currys UK, can I take my product back to ANY currys store? or the exact one I bought it from?

Hi, I bought a camcorder from a currys in my local town (nightmare to park! costs a fortune), which is soon shutting down. I only bought it from there because the other currys in my town (in an industrial estate with free parking/easy access) didn't have what I wanted in stock. I bought it last weekend, can I take it back to ANY currys store, or does it have to be taken back to the exact store I bought it from? I have already phoned the customer service phone line, and as usual no one seems to know their own job anymore. It's got a dead/stuck/hot pixel, and I am NOT happy. I was NOT made aware of this when purchasing it, and it says nothing about it in the manual. Also under the 'The Sale of Goods Act 1979' that products bought should be: As described - refers to any advert or verbal description made by the trader. Satisfactory quality - covers minor and cosmetic defects as well as substantial problems. It also means that products must last a reasonable time. But it doesn't give you any rights if a fault was obvious or pointed out to you at point of sale. I was NOT made aware at time of purchase that camcorders often have a pixel problem, so I see this as false advertising and I want my money back, if camcorders are known to have a pixel or two missing/stuck then why was I not told this at time of purchase. (I put all this extra crap info in because I know there is always some smart bum who will go on about it, even though that wasn't the original question!). Thank you. PS, the reviews online for currys are pretty poor, most people saying they refuse to refund/exchange even though it states on the back of the receipt: If the product is faulty within the first 28 days you are entitled to a refund or exchange. If a fault occurs any time after that period, you are entitled to have the product repaired.Hi, thank you both for your replies so far. bouncer bobtail, you said 'Curry's will repackage it and sell it as new to some other poor sap.' and it's funny you should say that. Because went into the shop to get it for me, I noticed once she got in the car that there was no seal on the box at all, I always thought electrical goods were sealed? So now I am wondering if someone had already had it/tampered with it before me! I am going back to Currys tomorrow with my mum. My mum tried taking it back to the original store today, and the ignorant bloke refused there was a dead/hot/stuck pixel and refused to refund, he made my mum feel so small she had to leave the shop. more

Resolved Question: Mcdonald's wifi - Why the terrible marketing move?

Everyone knows most coffee shops have free wifi... mcdonalds is trying to put every coffee shop out of business replaced by 'mcafe'; mcdonald's "espreso" coffees, etc. They recently made a move installing wifi at mcdonalds. Sounds very convienenet, and in truth this would be a great step for "Combating" the poor local coffee shops in rural communities, small towns, etc. But the very strang move was making this wifi connection not only available for PURCHASE (which ISN'T advertised) they made it a hell of a pain to use. Behind a terribly slow proxy, and difficult to connnect, login, and surf, not to mention there are no power outlets available for people to use at mcdonalds. I had to drive my grandmother for a 6 hour surgery about 100 miles away from home. Not knowing what the hell to do for 6 hours i of course brought my guitar and laptop and figured it would be a great oppurtunity to busk and spend some time surfing the web or playing online games at a mcdonalds.... well... with only about an hour remaining on 50% battery... doesn't look like that's going to happen... If any major suit from mcdonalds happens to read this, if they do some kind of customer satisfaction research... WHAT THE EFF??? I had a difficult enough time cyphering through secured connections to find out your wifi name is "wayport" (the company that they use to CHARGE people for internet usage) now my battery is dying, and the internet is SLOW AS HELL because of your dammed proxy!

Resolved Question: Tips for starting a student newspaper?

Our school's principal asked me and my fellow student council members to start a student newspaper/newsletter. Since I'm the VP, I've been put in charge.I have no idea how to do it! I know we were looking at starting something small--2 pages, once a month. Our school only has 250 students, so I don't have a lot of resources or money to pull from. Is there some free layout/editing software I can use? (That's a biggie!!) How do I go about finding members for the newspaper crew? So far, I only have 2 people on the newspaper crew (and they have kind of been coerced into it because they are on the council...) Should I try and get the writing teachers/classes and yearbook crew involved? How do I get the student body interested and involved with the paper? What will make people want to read it? What should such a small publication focus on (mission statement, focal point of main articles)? Should we stay online? Should we try to advertise? Would starting a facebook group be a good idea, and if so, how would we use it? Sorry that question this is so loaded. I've had a teensy bit of journalistic experience (voices columnist for local paper), but that's about it, and I don't know where to start! I've been looking online, but there isn't a lot of help for groups like mine that are a) starting so small and b) so tiny to begin with. Thanks for all your help!

Voting Question: Need a local vendor for custom motorcycle license plate frames in San Francisco CA area?

I am looking for a vendor of custom license plate frames for motorcycles. We have a font that is trademarked and need it on the frames so we don't want to use a online vendor (even though I've found some good ones) because we need to ensure the font is not duplicated for any other use aside from ours. Anyways does anyone in the Northern California area, preferably near the Bay area know of anyone that does plate frames? Saw one pop up at the mall back in the day but don't know of anything free standing that will be around for more then just Christmas. Also, not lookin for the cheap ones that are just a plastic piece that's cut then glued to the frame, I want the good one piece ones. Need someone that can do Black and Chrome frames. This is for a group of guys here in the area, not for advertising so need a company that doesn't have a huge quantity requirement for orders. more

Resolved Question: Small independent bookstore owners, please give me some advice?

Any new/used "small" bookstore owners willing to comment? I just opened a small (5,000) books, new/used bookstore, downtown in Texas. I am located across from our one and only antique mall. We have a population of about 13,000 people with many affiliated with a nearby military installation. I offer my books at half the original publisher's price and 25% off the new book sticker price. I am offering a 10% discount to military and teachers and was wondering if I could afford to offer the same discount to city employee's. Traffic is slow "downtown" other than the lunch crowd at the antique mall. I need help in bringing in more traffic to the store. I have very nice, like-new books. I've advertised in our local paper twice before opening, announcing the opening, and I'm going to advertise again in one week to announce the grand opening. Do you think it would be wise to offer a 10% discount to city employee's as a way of bringing in more traffic and a little free advertising? Are small used/new bookstores making these days? Do you sell online, is Amazon or ABE better? I would appreciate your comments and advice. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Would you buy pet supplies like this?

I was thinking of starting an online pet store, that only caters to customers in my LOCAL area. I only want to sell to local customers because online pet stores are a dime a dozen and it would be too hard to advertise my website to people all over the country. Basically here is how it works: Customers from my area would log onto my website and order the items they want for their pets (dog treats, toys etc). After they order the items online and pay for them, I will deliver their order to them. The incentive is that if you order $50 worth of stuff, you get free delivery. If you order less than $50 there would be a small delivery charge. The benefits are that you don't have to go to the pet store which saves you time and gas. So my question is if someone like me had a similar website in your area, would you buy your pet supplies from them, or would you just go to the physical pet store? Pricing would pretty much be the same on both the website and physical store. Thanks for your help. more

Voting Question: How can I advertise locally that's cheap and effective to find vendors for a new flea market?

I've tried freecycle to offer free coupons, and I've also tried on craigslist. I'm in a couple papers and plan on giving out flyers at a local farmer's market that's on a different day than ours(so I'm not stepping on anyones toes). Does anyone have any other ideas, especially online that might be effective? It's in Richmond Illinois if that helps(5911 Route 173).

Resolved Question: I don't know what to do with my life...Help me out please?

I'm 15 years old and I don't know what kind of career I should pursue. And I'm starting to panic about it. I'm not really expecting anyone to read the ridiculously huge chunks of text coming up. I'm just trying to sort out the mess in my brain by putting it into words. (Last time I put this question in the career section and got a ton of advertising people, so...I'm not sure which section belongs in) I'm in 9th grade, taking all Honors classes. My GPA is a 3.8. I'm taking the SAT II Subject test for Biology this June. I plan to take other AP tests, like AP Chinese, later in high school. My annual standarized test scores (STAR test scores, dunno if it's different in other states) are usually good, I often get 600s. I'm a GATE1 student, meaning my IQ is supposedly over 140. But I hate school...My school is suffocatingly competitive. I'm tired of competing with the girl who plays the piano and violin, is on the Debate and Badminton team, volunteers at a local museum, speaks 4 languages, and still manages a 4.0 GPA (I'm not exaggerating!). I routinely fall asleep studying...None of the subject matter is even remotely interesting to me. To get the grades I have, I have to try so hard I'm stressed out all the time. People, teachers, classmates, parents volunteering, have been telling me since preschool that I should become an artist when I grow up. From a ridiculously young age I've been associating drawing with pleasure and praise. I don't just like drawing...I feel like I'd die if I couldn't. It's like a stress reliever for me. When I can't draw, I feel anxious and my hands start shaking. I can't really suppress the impulse to draw, even in the middle of taking tests! Some of the answer sheets I get back are comical -- There are beautifully detailed drawings in the margins -- The world map in front of me, the trashcan in the corner, the guy who sits in front of me, all of my teachers. And then you look further down the paper, and I didn't have time to finish the last few problems. I learn by trial and error. But I always improve a lot when I have the time to practice, like over breaks, just sketching whatever comes to mind, copying pictures from magazines, or speed-drawing with 30-second online pose generators. I look at my drawings a month or two apart, and it looks like they were done by two different people. If I spent less time on my studies, I think I could easily be as good as a professional artist. It's my dream to go to some sort of art school after graduating. I know it's a really, really bad idea to become an artist. I know probably 90% of them starve on the streets and die in misery. Even many great artists aren't appreciated until they're already dead. Then their works sell for millions, but of course it makes no difference to the already-dead artists. It's a cruel world. Following my bliss could be the end of me. But what discourages me even more than that is my dad. He's a Stanford graduate who makes missiles for the government. He tells me to study more or I'll be like my older sister (who's becoming a doctor) who "ONLY" got accepted my Berkeley, UCLA, and UC Davis. He made me study 4 hours a day on spring BREAK. Quote: "Good thing there's Stress-free week, then you can study for the SAT." He gave me a lecture when I was in elementary school about how I should read nonfiction books instead of fiction because I'll actually learn from them. He's threatened that if I don't choose a career path soon, he'll choose one for me himself. He will be REALLY angry if I say I want to be an artist. I'm afraid he'd hit me. I don't know what to do. It's smartest for me to just forget about art and become an accountant or doctor or something...Maybe just a little art in my spare time, but definitely not for a living. But my heart isn't attached to my brain. Irrationally, I still want to become an artist. I don't know why I'm crying, this is stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID If there's still anyone who's still there after reading my ridiculously long question, I would like some serious advice. Talk some sense into me. Please. I really don't know what to do. Thank you, and please have a nicer day than I did.Yeah, as I stated from the beginning, I didn't expect anyone to read all of that. And most of you didn't. Thank you, the few of you who did! And...I'm pretty amazed that someone thought my endless run-on question was INTERESTING o.o Hmm...So I should either a) become an artist and be poor but happy or b) don't think about it because I'm young... more

Resolved Question: Can we make a website for no-cost at all for our animal funeral services?

Me and My best-friend (aetd96) run an "under-the counter" funeral home. And what I mean by that is we run a funeral service for animals kinda quitely. I have been doing this since I was 10 years old in 2003. I established my animal funeral service b/c in 2003 I have deicded to become a LIC. funeral director for people when I'm old enough. As of now I'm 15 and in the next year I plan on working as an apprentice at a real funeral home. I do this animal service sort-of for practice. My associates and I have been carring-out our traditions for nearly 6yrs. and we have had 4 members along my side through the years. now I only have 2 besides my self. We do not charge any money! If we are given money we donate the cash to a local animal charity or shelter. We offer complete services that any that any funeral home would normally offer. We pre-arrange, consualt, make memory cards, obituaries notices, hand-made caskets, and rubbermaid burial vaults. We only bury in owner's yard not a cemetery. We do memorbila, such as slide shows .and cremation services as well. If cremation is deisered the master of the pet must send the body to a LIC. company, once ashes are returned to the owner we offer what ever they want done. We preform Calling Hours (viewings) and Full-Funeral services as well. This is generally held at your home in the living room, we will re-arrange chairs and sofas to create a funeral home atmosphere and bring our own pink-torchiere lamps for the mood-lights setting as well. Sorry we don't embalm. As our moto at my funeral service says... "Every life is significant, everylife has a story to be told, let us help you tell that story" I'm serious in what I do, Animals have lives don't they? They have a story to be told? Why don't they desvere to have it told? Well I think they do! -- And that is why my associates and I do what we do best! If you are a funeral director and you are reading this I would appreciate your imput, I need some perfessional help. I do want to become a real Mortician in the years to come. I'm 15 so I will be soon. I'm only do the animal services now sort-of as practice. So I want to create an online website for no cost and to advertise my services.

Resolved Question: Need Free Online Advertising To Promote Group - Any Info Or Answers?

I need some help with free advertising online. I have advertised & tried to promote new members for my online group. However, most of the advertising sites are not helping much. Instead of people responding to my posting, they are instead using the link to send me spam about whatever they are trying to promote or sell, etc. It is very frustrating to get a bunch of junk mail instead of new members, etc. Here are the ones I have used so far: Inet Giant, Classified Ads, Classified Ads 4 Free, & Sales Spider. I am not trying to sell anything at all. I am merely trying to spread the word about a new online group. I do not want to advertise nationally. This is a local group for the Reno Metro Area of Nevada only. If you know of some good advertising sites that will work out for me (locally not nationwide) that will not give me the same issues as stated above, please reply to this. It has to also be free advertising as I cannot afford to pay for any advertising. Any efforts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Read this!! Want to be taxed for each mile you drive?

The following is an article from newsobserver.com. If you don't want to read the whole thing, it basically says that they are playing with the idea of taxing everyone for each mile they drive because more and more people will be turning to fuel efficient cars and not buying as much gas and they will be loosing the gas tax money. What do you think of this? ================================== Bruce Siceloff, Staff Writer Comment on this story Two hundred Triangle drivers will be recruited this fall to road-test a satellite-technology system that might be used one day to collect highway taxes on every mile we drive -- replacing the gas tax on every gallon we buy. Computers mounted in volunteers' cars will use global positioning system tracking to count the miles -- even across state lines. Participants will receive make-believe state and federal tax bills for their miles. For their time and their opinions, they'll be paid $895 in real money. The $16.5 million Road User Charge Study will enlist drivers in six states to determine whether the technology works, and whether Americans would accept a new mileage tax. Volunteers will be asked how they feel about technology that collects information about their driving. The federal government and 15 states, including North Carolina, are paying for the study to find a fair, reliable revenue source that can keep pace with growing transportation needs. "The gas tax is not going to be a viable way of funding our highways in the future," Jon Kuhl, a University of Iowa professor who is directing the study, said in an interview. "The national Highway Trust Fund is already going broke, and the situation is going to get worse." Gas tax collections are slowing as cars get more miles on each gallon, and as $4 pump prices force Americans to reduce their driving. A few years from now, many Americans might be driving plug-in electric and fuel-cell cars that don't use gas at all. Michael Walden, an economist at N.C. State University, said the study will help Americans answer hard questions about how to pay for the nation's transportation infrastructure. He agreed with Kuhl that the nation needs to find a replacement for the gas tax. "Perhaps a better way in terms of assessing someone's use of the roads is not how many gallons they use but how many miles they actually drive," said Walden, who is not involved in the study. "A mileage tax could be adjusted over time, as the cost of road construction goes up." With the $895 bounty and an advertising campaign that will start next week, Kuhl and his team hope to enlist a diverse mix of car owners from the six-county Triangle area. Details are available by phone at 866-363-1975 (toll-free) or online at www.roaduserstudy.org. After the participants are chosen and trained, their cars will be outfitted with GPS computers -- the satellite technology that drives popular dashboard navigation gadgets. Over eight months, starting in December, the car's computer will record the number of miles driven in each state, then upload the information to a central billing system. Make-believe taxes Cars will have make-believe per-mile tax rates based on their EPA-estimated fuel economy. The tax rates are intended to generate about the same taxes on miles that the car pays in taxes on gallons of gas. The mileage tax would be higher for a heavy truck that burns a lot of gas, and lower for a fuel-thrifty hybrid. A typical car rated at 24 miles per gallon will have a make-believe federal tax rate of 0.8 cents per mile, plus 1.3 cents per mile for the North Carolina tax, Kuhl said. For 24 miles, that's 31.2 cents state and 19.2 cents federal tax -- about a penny more than the current taxes on a gallon. If the technology works, it could give federal, state and even local governments the option to set different tax rates for different vehicles. Volunteers also will test of public attitudes about a new type of tax -- and about technology that gathers information about where people drive. "Privacy is a hot-button issue," Kuhl said. "People rightly have a knee-jerk reaction about being tracked." The system will only count the number of miles driven each month in a given state, he said. "There's no way these units could be used to track people or determine they were in a particular place at a particular time," Kuhl said. Some drivers will worry about government snooping, Walden said, and that could make it even harder to sell the idea of a new tax. "I don't know if the mileage tax is going to be any better accepted than the gas tax, but I know we have a problem finding money for our roads," Walden said. bruce.siceloff@newsobserver.com or 919-829-4527 http://www.newsobserver.com/news/growth/traffic/story/1245637.html more

Resolved Question: I need some artistic advice-please help?

I need some art advice. I went to SVA and I have a degree in animation/film. I tried getting a job in animation and it didn't work out for me. I want to get my own comics published and distributed. I want to go back to school and get a degree in Illustration/Cartooning so I can get the training I need to work as a comic artist/writer/creator. My problem is I have issues with my financial aid, and I can't get a degree online till that's taken care of. I tried taking classes in a local art school in the meantime-but they didn't have too classes related to illustration/cartooning and comic art-I did have a comic creativity course but that was it and I have some 2-D and 3-D drawing classes. It would be to my benefit if I have an Illustration/Cartooning degree since a lot of jobs look for that, and some places need animators-I tried getting jobs through the alumni dept. at my old school-but I can't get down to them anyway-I can't afford the commute. I live in upstate NY and these jobs are down in NYC and Long Island-I can't get to the freelance ones. I was told by some people you need a cartooning degree to get a cartooning/illustration job, and others said having a cartooning degree isn't necessary if you want a job in comics. My animation degree isn't enough-you have to have training to work as a comics artist/writer/illustrator. I tried finding out about the art programs at my local colleges-they don't have what I am looking for. I considered The Art Instruction Schools-they are the company that advertises the free art test which you complete and return to them so they can evaluate it. I found out their work-at-home program costs $130 for enrollment and $130/month each month after for 26 months. Right now I can't afford that. Until I get situated financially what can I do to get the training I need-where should I go? Does anyone here know anything about getting funding to get my work out there? more

Resolved Question: Where's the best place online to recruit models for a photo shoot?

I have a part-time photography business and am desperately looking for female models (preferrably with no experience) to do a photoshoot. One model agency recrimended ModelMayhem, Musecube and some other one. The models at Modelmayhem tend to want paid services rather then trades of service. Then Musecube is free for models to join but $10.00 for non-models such as photographers. The third one is free with very limited features which doesn't include the ability to do casting calls. They have that with their pro account which is out of my budget. I tried the Craigs and backpage with no luck. I also tried Kijiji and did have a couple of shoots but many models inquired about the ad and never got back to me to do the photoshoot. I also tried New Faces and they're free as long as I'm willing to pay casting credits. I'm sick of this online advertising nonsense and online groups that have many rule, would it be better for me to advertise in the local paper...continued to part 2 more
