Some years ago I joined a chamber of commerce with the goal of rubbing shoulders with powerful corporate decision-makers and establishing my consulting value, soaking up many new clients in the process like warm gravy at Thanksgiving dinner. The morning I headed out for my first chamber breakfast, however, my business partner called me to report that our bank had just canceled all its merchant credit card accounts following a decision to get out of that business. At that time, I was running a seminar business which heavily depended upon credit card sales. Suddenly I had lost a very lucrative conduit of revenue.Literally minutes later, stunned and feverishly ruminating about what we would do to...

How many times has this scenario played out in a company? The candidates resume indicated that he had extensive success in our market and had progressed in each of his positions. When we brought him in for an interview, he was a good communicator, likeable, well-groomed and focused on our industry. We hired him and he was an absolute stiff. He wouldnt call leads, he couldnt qualify prospects and he never closed a significant deal. We fired him 12 months later. The only reason why we waited so long was because his forecast was loaded with large opportunities that were perpetually 45 days away from closing. This expensive scenario is all-too-common in corporate America today. Yet, companies...

Staffing vendors who refer candidates on the strength of a resume and a phone interview-foregoing thorough background checks-are asking for trouble.Case in point from the CEO of Palmiter Recruiting of Plymouth, Minnesota: 15 years ago, before she founded her staffing company, Elizabeth Palmiter was on assignment as a contractor herself when the nightmare of nightmares occurred at a client's worksite.During a routine reference check, a contractor marched into his supervisor's office and killed him with an automatic rifle. The scary thing is that because it was an automatic rifle, he could have killed other people, too," says Palmiter.Today, Palmiter works on the other side of the desk-as a staffing...

The EmotionsDivorce is a scary, lonely and misunderstood process for most people, particularly when there are children involved. The mutual friends enjoyed during the marriage may not be of help because those individuals may not want to "pick a side." A divorce will introduce you to an entirely new balancing act.The Effect on Productivity at WorkYou must be conscious of how the divorce process affects your ability to function on your job. There may be occasions when you will feel overwhelmed by a typical day's workload. On such occasions, you may wish to apportion work in terms of what you can handle.You may at times find yourself uncharacteristically testy and acerbic to friends and colleagues...

Travel can be a lot of fun, but it takes some advance planning. People with diabetes have to plan a little more. Here are a few things to keep in mind about your insulin when you head out for that dream vacation. Your Blood Sugar When you are traveling, it is important to monitor your blood sugar more closely.

During the State of the Union Address on January 31,2006 President George W. Bush presented a plan to the people of the United States and to the U.S. Congress to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025.He spoke of hybrid cars, hydrogen based fuel cell cars and the expansion of ethanol fueled vehicles. The ethanol-based technology is already here, there are already somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 million Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFV) already on the road in the USA.FFV can run on regular unleaded gasoline or a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent regular unleaded gasoline (known as E85) or any percentage of ethanol and gasoline blend in between.

Selecting Assignments Where You Desire No one else can tell you where to go as a travel nurse-well, not unless you're married. You are free to fly with the wind to the most exotic and out-of-the-way places like the rural areas of Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska or Iowa, or enjoy an assignment in the metropolis of New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, or Phoenix. Travel to the beaches of Southern California, Atlantic City or Hawaii. Assignments can also be found ranging in areas from the Virgin Islands to the great state of Alaska. You might have to change companies, but so far I have gone every place that I have wanted to visit. This is easier done if you have more than one specialty, like medical...

If winning new clients were easy, gurus wouldn't be giving $1,000 seminars on the topic, and you wouldn't see "Dummies" guides to closing a contract deal.Let's face it-winning a contract can be one of the most bewildering parts of running your consulting business. It doesn't have to be such a tremendous dilemma. I've worked with hundreds of very successful consultants through the years (and been one myself), and I've found that those who flourish take these 8 steps:1. Prepare to make a great first impressionYou never get a second chance to make a first impression, and you make a great first impression by being prepared. Research the company and subject matter, using any available means, including...

One thing that I enjoy very much when going on a vacation or just traveling somewhere special is when we try different restaurants and places to eat. Of course, when we go to a new place, we don't know where we can find the best food. Therefore, usually we used restaurant guides to help us find restaurants in an unknown town. Soon, we realized that restaurant guides most of the time provided us with disappointing results. We found out that restaurant guides were not giving us correct information about the best places to eat as they were usually printed by restaurant owners who were advertising their business. We needed a more reliable method than restaurant guides were. In...

For those of us who love motorcycles and off road sports we know that having the power at your wrist is paramount to getting out of a tricky situation. But we also realize there are limits to the ability of the vehicle to rapidly accelerate. It seems that perhaps there should be a way to accelerate more rapidly when needed on ATVs or all-terrain vehicles and this would make them more exhilarating and fun.And consider if you will for a moment the potential eventuality of combat forces using ATVs in the desert against the enemy to rapidly advance on their positions...

Have you been reading those alarming headlines lately:"the avian flu will be in the United States in a few months because of migrating birds"?Well, consider this evolving story about a possible preventative: sauerkraut.This story started last November as scientists at Seoul National University in South Korea fed an extract of kimchi, a spicy Korean variant of sauerkraut, to 13 chickens infected with avian flu, and a week later, 11 of the birds started to recover, according to a report by the BBC Network.Well guess what? A company that makes sauerkraut in Wisconsin made these claims: "we've got the preventative, and 115,000 tons of it in Wisconsin alone," said Ryan Downs, owner and general manager...

Have you just bought a wonderful surround-sound home entertainment system but no decent home theater seating to sit on to watch the latest rented DVD? Do you always have to squeeze next to the cat and your daughter who likes to hog the old sofa like it was her bed whenever she watches anything on the screen?Do you have to constantly pause the DVD to get your tomato juice from the kitchen benchtop because there is no place to put your drink without fear of spilling it on your white carpet? And does your back suffer terribly even only after 30 minutes of watching your favorite sitcom?Home theater systems and home theater seating - the suburban preoccupation of the decadeIf you've answered yes to any...

Rehoboth Beach Delaware is called the Nation's Summer Capital because we are such a common second home and entertainment location for the powerful and influential people of Washington D.C. There are few people making over $75,000 a year in the DC professions who do not frequent this area when they need privacy, space, fresh ocean air and relaxation. It's not just summer that draws them anymore, they come year 'round. And it's not just Rehoboth Beach anymore, they populate Lewes, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island and all the little towns near the Delaware Beaches.During the past several years all real estate, especially waterfront real estate or beach real estate anywhere has been a...

The media loves to slam the bad boys of the NFL. Players such as Terrell Owens and Randy Moss are made to look like spoiled and obnoxious jerks by the media. As sports fans, you hear about their huge multi-million dollar contracts and their problems on and off the field. As a recently retired NFL player, I know what goes on behind the scenes in the lives of NFL players. I know about both the good and the bad. I decided to write this article to let you know about the side of players that is rarely covered by the media because it is not considered exciting and newsworthy. I want to talk about the many wonderful things the "bad boys" of the NFL do to make this world a better place. Randy Moss and...

In the 2oth century, the top professional teams were the Buffalo Germans and the Original Celtics. The first major national professional league was the American Basketball League.

For several years now Minneapolis Public Schools have been emphasizing the need for students to have a choice in which school they attend. Giving the students and the parents a hand in the decision making process gives the family a sense of ownership. The student will feel he or she has, by making this very important decision, invested in a scholastic future. And it is the invested student who is more likely to stay in school and more likely to become a contributing member of society. Recently the board of education of Minneapolis Schools has decided to take its emphasis on choice a step further and extend the idea to all students and all schools. Students will no longer elect to make the choice...

Chicago, Arlington House, Sunday, October 23, 2005, 6:25 am After being appropriately prepped as a result of our visit to the Chicago Cultural Center we decided to head off yesterday to visit the Pullman Historic District, a planned industrial and residential community dating back to the 1880s, on Chicago's South Side. In order to get there we took the red line all the way to the end and then connected onto the 111 bus. What was very interesting to note was that the population on Chicago's south side is predominantly black, as much of the black population from the US South had migrated northwards after the 2nd World War. Actually Chicago was known as one of the most racially segregated cities, and...

Top fire fighter, Chief Jim Clark of the Minneapolis Fire Department exclaimed that the first miracle was the low death toll. Clark said, "We were surprised that we didn't have more people seriously injured and killed, I think it was something of a miracle." With upwards of 500 cars crossing the bridge at any given moment that qualifies as a miracle for most of us. Other stories are emerging even as rescuers are still combing the rapidly moving waters of the murky Mississippi. Divers rushed to the scene with hopes that if they responded quickly they might find victims who found ways to survive in pockets of air or that were only partially submerged in their vehicles. Although that hope was deferred...

It may seem obvious to many people why literacy is so important in our technologically advanced society. However, many parents may not fully realize the emotional pain and life-long damage illiteracy can cause their children. Literacy, the ability to read well, is the foundation of children's education. If children can't read well, every subject they try to learn will frustrate them. If they can't read math, history, or science textbooks, if they stumble over the words, they will soon give up reading out of frustration. Asking children who are poor readers to study these subjects is like asking them to climb a rope with one arm. Kids learn to read in their most formative years, which is why reading...

I have a (wholly unsurprising, considering my profession) confession to make, dear readers: I'm overweight. Not alarmingly so, like the rotund McDonalds victims we see on television or the huge guy creating his own Lake Mead of sweat next to you on an airplane, but I do have a belly on me. And unfortunately it's only getting bigger. But hey, I'm not alone! A striking 67 percent of Americans are currently overweight, and of those people almost half are obese-that is, their Body Mass Index is over 30. We're all aware by now of the dangers inherent in obesity: high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and other general nastiness; according to the U.S. Surgeon General, it kills 300,000 people per...

Evergreen trees, a hearty, charismatic tree thrives in specific landscapes, preferring climates that are bound for a long, cold winter season. Evergreens prefer the cold and snow. It's where their blooming growth gains the most strength. Hot, humid climates, on the other hand, are less conducive to growth. Just ask an evergreen. Its way too hot and sticky for this dense, stiffly needled tree. In specific area in the United States, such as Minnesota for example, evergreens grow in an environment where half of the year the deciduous trees and shrubbery are leafless. The perennials lie dormant due to the cold climatic features present in this stretch of North America. In fact, nearly six months out of...

Who can ever forget Simba, the adorable and mischievous little lion cub who always manages to get into trouble?

Coincidences, déjà vu experiences, finding a parking space on a meter in downtown Chicago, are all surface indicators of being in the "flow." But for more revealing insight, examine the quality of your intimate relationships. Being "on the path" means that you understand the divine nature of man. That is, you realize that there really is no dividing line between yourself and others. The only division that exists is that which is created by the human ego. It also means that you realize that you are the physical embodiment of God and in so much as you are God, you must accept that you are Love. Therefore there is no need to find Love. Only fear prevents us from knowing this as truth. You believe...

The Harlem Globetrotters are a basketball team that combines athleticism and comedy to create one of the best-known sports entertainment franchises in the world. Created by Abe Saperstein in 1927 in Chicago, Illinois, the team adopted the name Harlem because of its connotations as a leading African-American community. Over the years it has toured over 118 countries, playing more than 20,000 exhibition games, mostly against deliberately ineffective opposition like the Washington Generals (1953-1995) and the New York Nationals (1995-present). There is no clear consensus as to the very beginnings of the Globetrotters. The official history contains several facts which are clearly untrue, such as the...

Even though the crime rates have been steadily falling from the 1990's, some of the bigger cities across the nation have to still contend with a growing crime rate. While the government officials are doing their best, crime related problems continue to persist due to the ever-growing population in these urban centers. So fighting crime is a battle that must be waged continuously day after day by law enforcement agencies against elements of anarchy and social unrest. Minneapolis is located in Minnesota and has a population hovering just under 400,000. The emergency services in this major American city almost never stop fielding calls and requests for aid. On any given day, over 1,000 calls are...

One of the most important things a business needs is a way to send out mail. There are a lot of small businesses that rely on mailings in order to get new business. Home based businesses are the businesses that really rely on direct mail. Direct mailings, whether they are letters with envelopes or postcards, need postage that costs money. Postage to a big business is not as much of a concern, it is the small businesses that have little or no budgets. With the cost of postage going up more and more, it takes a lot of money to send out advertisements and information to clients. In the beginning a small business will use stamps, but as the price goes up and they get more business, it is time to look...

BY ELINOR NAUEN You walk a block, then clutch your leg with what feels like a charley horse. You stop, and the pain does too. The discomfort may be a warning of a common yet serious condition called peripheral arterial disease (PAD). In PAD, the same fatty material that can clog heart arteries builds up in the arteries of the legs, blocking blood flow. The risk for death from heart attack or stroke is six to seven times greater in people with PAD-equivalent to the risk of someone who's had a heart attack or stroke. Without prompt treatment, one in four people with the condition will suffer a heart attack, stroke or amputation or die within five years. PAD is most often recognized when it causes...

All of the major cellular providers naturally advertise their strengths. Examples would be fewest dropped calls, most "anytime" minutes, plan flexibility, etc. Some of these claims lend themselves to debate; so, after grabbing brochures among the many cellular kiosks in the local mall, we decided to check out the four biggies -- Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon -- and compare their offerings and prices. These prices are as of June, 2006 and are based on a national single line in twenty major market cities in the U.S.: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Diego...

If you are considering going on holiday or vacation with your family, then you'll know by now that this type of trip can be expensive. Of course, you could choose a tourist destination in your own country and many people do! But if you are in search for a more exotic place for your next holiday adventure, then staying at home is just not going to cut it! This of course entails several decision making processes where budget and destination will certainly play a big role. Popular amongst many travelers are budget holidays where everything is included in the starting price such as the plane fares, the hotels and in some cases tourist park attraction once you have reached your destination. The advantage...

Everywhere we look, we see the businesses such as restaurants, bars, resorts and casinos, that theme their uniform style to match their business' atmosphere. That's all well and good, but sometimes you might think that the uniform styles out there are a little homogenized. Of course, it's understandable that you want to keep to a professional image at all times. But you might also be feeling more creative, like you want to break out of the mold and re-invent the restaurant uniform concept. Example: If you've seen the movie "Pulp Fiction", there's a restaurant that Vincent and Mia go to early in the film which looks like a fun place to go. It's modeled after the 1950's "rockabilly" era, and if you...
