There is just something about seeing a shined and polished classic car rolling down the highway that gets everyone’s attention and that sparks all kinds of wonderful memories. For those who love to restore and tinker with some of the vintage vehicles that so many people enjoy gawking at as they speed by, a classic car auction can be just the place to find the special set of wheels to impress the neighborhood.

Classic car auctions have long been a favorite type of event for car lovers of all ages to attend. Before the bidding gets underway, which can get rather heated with an enthusiastic crowd, there is a period of time when people can meander through the displays of the vintage models and appreciate the timeless and elegant lines of the cars that will soon be offered on the auction block.

The classic car auction events are considerably different than the average public auto auctions, which are more common and easy to find. The public car auction events primarily feature seized cars, repossessed cars and salvage car components. Rarely will they have the kinds of vehicles found at a collector car auction.

In the case of public auto auctions, people hope to find a decent car at a good price that will get them to and from work. Seldom will there be much of a bidding war on the very average and ordinary vehicles that are seen at government auto auctions and the like. But all the rules change when attending a collector car auction with an enthusiastic group of avid car collectors who know all about every model and who are looking forward to either starting their own collection or adding to one they already have.

Even if you aren’t attending to buy, the auction is still worth a visit if you have an interest in classic cars. All grouped in one place for you to check out the wide range of cars from many different eras, which are in immaculate shape, having been lovingly and attentively restored, and are sometimes an improvement over the original model.

Because the market for the classic, collectible cars is a can be tight and there is so much interest in the vintage vehicles that are either still in fairly good condition or that have been restored, a collector car auction is not the place to look for a bargain. If a particular model of a classic car is rather rare or in high demand, then there could be an intense bidding war that will drive the winning bid much higher than any Blue Book estimate. As antique collectables, the classic car game can bring huge profits and is worth considering if you have a genuine interest in starting an antique business.

However, it might also be that you could end up getting a better price buying from a classic car auction than from a private owner directly. It all depends on the other people who are attending the collector car auction and how motivated they are to have that car go home with them, instead of you.

Getting Over the Pain of an Office Romance

A botched romance is always a devastating experience for women and crushing if you have been dating a co-worker openly. When he suddenly dumps you for reasons you cannot figure out, you will never know where to look - at the ceiling or at the floor? The problem could have been managed differently and discreetly if the affair was with someone not connected with the office, but what can you do to survive the daily encounters with your ex?

You cannot smash his head with one of your desk clocks, or erase his computer files just to get even. Though revenge is inviting, do not stoop to this level. Doing so would erode your professional image and annihilate chances for a promotion.

These handyl pointers from survivors are sensible solutions to your predicament:

* Act as if you are okay. Continue to be your usual cheerful self and focus on your work, never mind if there are raised eyebrows because your ex is chasing another girl at the water cooler.
* Surreptitiously remove his picturefrom the digital frames of your atomic clocks at home and in the office. There is no reason to do this with fanfare. Switch it with your cat’s image to make you feel better.
* Be a professional. Don’t talk to him unless it is work-related; when you do, call him by his name preceded with a Mister, but smile to show the world you are not wretchedness.
* Do not quit your job no matter how much you itch to get away. The backstabbers will have their heyday if you do. But if the new job offers a bigger pay and a nice (read far away) location, get it. Announce the reasons later to nip in the bud malicious speculations.
* Keep mum. Do not demean yourself by blabbing. You do not have to give a blow-by-blow detail of your break-up to the girl in the next cubicle.
* Keep yourself busy and stay away from the water cooler until things die down, but be active in office activities and socials.
* Don’t expect you can forget him in a month. At times it takes a year to mend emotionally. Fortunately, the pain just vanishes and you will be your usual self again, so why waste more tears?
* Avoid him but don’t be too obvious about it; doing so would start a conflagration of speculations.
* RemoveGet rid of the desk accessories he gave you plus that widget from his nautical table clocks collection.
* Staying cool despite your inner turmoil can improve your image because the boss sees he can rely on your performance even in traumatic situations. This is a plus if you’re aiming for a promotion.

Surely keeping your dignity has its rewards. After all, there is still a likelihood of a better relationship - but avoid office romance. After the humiliation and the fury, would you have another office romance?

Well, apparently www.littlewhiteebook.com is back. However, it is going to be quite curious to watch just how Little White tries to get back in the game.

It’s a lot of fun, have more fun with your Network Marketing Training today!

Though this Network Marketing article is not directly about recruiting or getting customers, it shares a vital tool that will help you build your business faster and in a more creative way.

When you are in the learning environment have you ever not fully understood a topic? It is a frustrating feeling. Then the speaker moves on, and it sometimes is difficult to catch up.

If you are a teacher, have you ever tried to teach or train some one, and felt that your student or trainee was not fully grasping the subject? Did you find they were struggling to understand you?

Be aware, pay attention, drop your ego, and ask questions about your teachings to find out if your message is getting across perfectly.

It is no new or profound fact that our minds work in mysterious ways.

Let’s play a fun game. Stop everything your doing, read the next sentence, then, close your eyes. Can you see or notice that there are images streaming through your mind? These images are always present to help explain to your mind all the things you hear or think about.

Your subconscious mind and thoughts are in charge of painting and creating these images, and true learning happens when we connect and involve our subconscious mind with our conscious mind.

Whether you are training groups or individuals for your MLM training, your goal is to not have your information just flow into one ear and out the other. We want them to grasp the teaching. We want them to be able to use it in their life, and ultimately we want them to be able to teach it to others.

This means that the trainees must fully understand what you are teaching.

Most speakers are boring, and do not engage different parts of their audience’s minds. One of the most valuable tools to engage people’s minds in your topic is to involve their subconscious mind into what you are teaching. One of the best ways to involve the subconscious mind is to use metaphors.

A metaphor is very influential in creating images in the subconscious mind which translate to higher understanding of the topic discussed.

Great metaphors are like making magic with words. Metaphors are fun, entertaining, and they are truly engaging. It is a very effective technique because it utilizes parts of the brain that would otherwise be busy creating non-related images, other thoughts, or anything else that is not in line with the teaching you may be giving. Realize that while we are alive, the brain does not ever stop working. Our goal as trainers is to make sure that we can make as many parts as possible at one time work on the same goal. This is what Geniuses do. Subconsciously or not, they are able to use their entire brain or many parts of it to work together to solve 1 problem.

What is a metaphor?

Here is a Shakespear/Wikipedia example…

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances; — (William Shakespeare, As You Like It, 2/7)

In this example, “the world” is compared to a stage, the aim being to describe the world by taking well-known attributes from the stage. In this case, the world is the tenor and the stage is the vehicle. “Men and women” are a secondary tenor and “players” is the vehicle for this secondary tenor.

It may not be the easiest thing to come up with great metaphors, the more you practice, the better you will become, and the easier it will be to create new ones.

The best metaphors are vivid, memorable and emotional descriptions of the topic you are talking about. When you use these metaphors your trainees will learn better, and the information will stick easily.

There is no universal metaphor for any one subject. It is a trial and error type activity. Metaphors it is something you can begin to test on your spouse, or better yet, a child.

Coming up with metaphors requires that you drop your search for the perfect description and look for many simplified ideas. Here are a few ways you can improve your metaphors:

#1 – Isolate 1 small Idea or Issue within a topic, and build your metaphor from there.

#2 – Be Vivid. Create a stronger image in your mind to help describe your metaphor, “Showing belief in your product is important”–or–“Showing belief in your product is the ultimate fulcrum to massive and explosive success!” When creating your metaphors, visual impact is more important than perfect accuracy.

#3 - Quantity over Quality. Having 3-4 metaphors to describe a topic puts you in a far better position than one really good metaphor. Metaphors are vivid picture like definitions, your images in your head may not look like the images of other people, so do your best to come up with more than one metaphor for important points you are making.

#4 - The Child Rule. The best subject to try your metaphor out on is a child, if a young teenager can get your metaphor, you are good to go. Your goal with metaphors is to transform a complex idea, and re-frame it into an easy to understand idea. Boring, complex or difficult to understand metaphors can turn an imaginative journey into a lifeless plot. A child will not understand this, and neither will a great deal of your audience. Their mind does not want too work hard to figure out your metaphor. Your metaphor is supposed to help their mind, not confuse it.

Without metaphors, ideas, speeches, and trainings are simply dry and flow through people’s ears without a second thought.

So, how do you get really good at using Metaphors?

Practice, practice, practice…

Start creating metaphors today. Pick up a book or magazine, and start creating metaphors. Pick and chose the topic you would like to create a metaphor about, and take 5 minutes to think about how you could make a metaphor for it. If it does not happen quickly, find a new piece to create a metaphor about then write that topic down. Then take 5 minutes to figure out a metaphor for that new topic. If it does, or does not happen, find a new piece to create a metaphor about. Write the topic down, then take 5 minutes to figure out a metaphor for that topic.

Let me explain what happens in your mind while in this process by first using its a metaphor. Have you ever forgotten a movie name? Possibly even more common, have you ever forgotten a person’s name? Then while in the conversation with them, or even the next day, their name just pops into your head? Susan!! That is her name!

That is your subconscious mind at work. Since your initial thought, “What is her name?” your subconscious mind has been working on it without you even knowing.

In the exercise I described above to develop your metaphor skills, the goal is not necessarily to come up with the metaphor during the 5 minute processes.

The goal is to re-program your brain and your subconscious mind to think in metaphor language. It takes time, it takes repeated energy, and it works. If you do the exercise recommended above, throughout the day, or the next day, don’t be surprised if a metaphor or several metaphors regarding those topics you chose come up for you. It’s a lot of fun!

However that does not address the criticisms of affiliate review sites like Site Review Authority which are fearlessly suggesting products of stunningly questionable quality. That sort of thing is best handled by forum boards but that doesn’t always work.

Menopause come come like a “shot out of the blue” and turn your life upside down but did you know that while you may have heard a horror story or two about it it really doesn’t have to be like that.

That’s why ignoring pre menopause symptoms and their importance in the whole change of life process will come back to hurt you. You see, pre menopause symptoms are simply nature’s way of conditioning you in a respect for the full version. And the best way you can face the big “M” head on and with a smile is to simply know and understand it a little more.

One factor many women don’t realize is that pre menopause symptoms can affect them as early as their thirties and if you’ve been experiencing symptoms and think you’re losing your mind then you really need to have a chat to your doctor and talk to him/her about it.

In this article, we will explain the importance of being educated on the subject and some of the symptoms which could be affecting you over the next few years.

Menopause Education

One of the best ways to handle menopause is to get educated about what it is and how it can affect you when it finally arrives in your life.

Pre menopause symptoms are natures way of easing you into the full version and many women are surprised to learn that these can actually start in their thirties.

Just be aware, they serve a strong purpose in conditioning you to the more severe symptoms you may experience during full menopause. Just think, to go from normal to the full version in one fell swoop could be just the ticket you need to be sent to a sanitarium. So don’t be alarmed if you experience these symptoms early.

Education is a great way to mentally prepare for symptoms. There seems to be a common theory that pre menopause symptoms signifies old age and yes, they do in a way but to simply ignore any mention of them because of this could do you more harm than good.

Harm can come from not knowing what to do when it finally arrives. Too many women leave it to the last minute or even worse, when they are experiencing the big “M” and this is a strong reason why those that do just don’t cope well.

A study was conducted several years ago among women who took the time to educate themselves and those that didn’t and it was no surprise the findings revealed the former group handled the natural change of life much better.

In fact, experts suggest embracing menopause as a new beginning in women’s lives is great for creating a good mental attitude.

So what are some of the symptoms you should look out for. We’ve compiled a short list and remember two things, there are many more symptoms with some leading to others. Also, some of the symptoms mentioned below may not even have anything to do with menopause.

They could in actual fact be related to other conditions and this is one of the reasons it’s important to check with your doctor. If it is related to another condition then alternative treatment will be required.

9 Pre Menopause Symptoms

Okay, here is a short list of pre menopause symptoms which could affect you well before you graduate to the full version:

1. Hot flashes are probably the most common symptom and can invariably create other issues.

2. Irregular periods are a definite sign you could be starting your change of life but don’t simply assume it is because it may be also related to other conditions. Always check with your doctor.

3. Mood swings are common and can result from hot flashes which can lead to lack of sleep which then leads to feeling irritable.

4. Weight gain can be related but like irregular periods, this can also be related to other issues.

6. Vaginal dryness can be a problem and is a symptom which can lead to a low libido and thus, lack of sex drive because of the pain associated with it. This can then create issues with your partner so watch this one.

7. Skin irritations and dry skin

8. Night sweats

9. Depressive mood

Riddled with Riddles

Which comes first, the chicken[/spin or the egg? Unlike the puzzle of the mythical Sphinx, this question remains unsettled to this day. Akin to this riddle is the poser - do you work for the money or to rationalize your eistence? This is a good question for those staring at empty gold money clips.

With the cost of gas still rising and the dollar wobbling dangerously, pray tell who is working that hard to justify his or her existence? The employed or people working for somebody also employed have to live on the little that goes into their wallets or leather money clips.

Reasons Why You Should Work Hard for the Money

Those who proclaim that money is not the lot are rolling in it and may not be working for it. They are the fortunate ones; but to tell you there is more to life than work when they haven’t seen your credit card bills smacks of narrow-mindedness. Do not spin]listen to|heed[/spin] them. This is good advice in these economically unstable times. Yet there is more to work than just getting a paycheck. Here are the top five rational reasons why you should keep on working:

* The money you earn gives you choices because the money clamped in your money clip is yours to spend. You can decide if you fancy a new scooter or get insurance.
* You learn to perfect the art of making smart choices. Knowing that times are uncertain, your choice to get insurance for the rainy days is smart.
* You are your own boss. Not a one can boss you around because he or she feeds you.
* You perfect your skills. The better you become at something, your chances for better opportunities are assured.
* You beat ennui to death. You have something to work on daily while the pampered ones are ready to climb the walls because there is nothing challenging to do. They have exhausted all those fun activities money can buy, or they are plain lazy.

Balancing Work and Play

It is not carved in stone that you cannot have fun because you have to work in order to survive. Work-related stress is the curse of the 21st century. More Americans are suffering from stress and according to Jerrod Greenberg in his textbook Stress Management, one in three people endure stress daily and others have to suffer it everyday. To keep mentally and physically fit, relax to beat stress.

But balancing the two different poles is challenging and more so if you have a family. It is a matter of incorporating play and relaxation in the everyday routine. A best way to loosen up without the cost is listening to your favorite mood music after a hard day at work or relishing an afternoon at the park with the family on weekends.

The point is to relax to have a better frame of mind for work - you still have to work hard for the money.

How would you know you’re ready for a home based business or internet marketing?

We all think that if a person is skilled enough to ply his or her trade in the Internet, then he or she is ready to start an online business. Well, this is not always the case. There are many things one has to consider before embarking on an online business. Yes, talent is a plus. If you are a skilled website designer, you can always go freelance since your talent would enable you to get the right number of clients.

But there are other things that you also have to take into consideration before even thinking of having a home-based job. There are the questions of the demand of your skill or expertise, the issues about your attitude, your current obligations, among others.

People looking for work at home usually also have another regular job. In effect they are having another job because they want another source of income. There are also people who work on a home based business because they love what they are doing, since their business is something that interests them.

However there are also risks of having an online business. First one has to be hardworking enough. He or she should be responsible and disciplined enough. Time management is important, since there is no supervisor or boss to supervise your work.

Other things one has to consider in taking a home based business is one’s tolerance to business risk. This is important since in every business, one has to take risks. Are you good enough in managing risks?

Then there’s also the issue of cash flow. Every business needs a start up capital. Do you have the money to support your venture?

Your patience will also be put to a test. First, how willing are you to wait for your business to actually make money? Or are you the type of person who can’t wait for money to start coming in?

Are you comfortable partnering with another person? Or would you prefer to work on your own? This specially applies to online businesses which need more than one person, like website design and engineering.

Answer the said questions as honestly as possible so you can know if you are ready enough to embark on a home-based business. If your answers are in the affirmative then you are set to have your own home-based business.

Wine tasting is an art, and something that is equally enjoyable and interesting to learn. Have you ever watched in admiration as a fellow diner captured everyone’s attention by expertly swirling the wine, sniffing and magically announcing its name? All this is now possible with a wine-tasting circuit. All the learning is in the tasting, so it is a very enjoyable lesson indeed, one that educates the palate as well as the brain!

Like all fine things, a quality wine is to be savored and enjoyed. The greatest pleasure of good wine is learning about its complexities.

Complexities, everything from the amount of sunlight received by the vineyards when the grapes form, to the pouring of the wine into the wine glass, contributes to the taste and aroma. It takes practice and knowledge to discern the subtle aromas and flavors of the wine and how various aspects of the vine’s cultivation come together to fabricate a beautiful, intricate and well-crafted wine.

Wine tasting courses are for those who are passionate about wine and are willing to invest their time in learning its nuances and caprices.

Classified on the basis of effect on the taster’s palate, each wine has its own story to tell and it takes an experienced taster to understand the delicate language of its flavor and aroma. Professional wine tasters are much sought after for the tasting, judging and labeling ceremonies. Wines are classified by body type - wines can be illumination bodied, medium bodied or full-bodied and can be classified on the basis of increasing tannin and alcohol content. It is not rare that wine descriptions can sound strange and unconnected to the grape juice, where it originated from: some of the words used for descriptions are ‘leather’, ‘pepper’ and ‘nutmeg’.

Professional wine tasters often can distinguish between subtle flavors characteristic of a specific kind of grape, and the flavors that result from other factors in wine making. The flavor elements in wine are often intended to give it a better taste, and are imparted by its aging in oak casks; sometimes the wine maker adds chocolate, vanilla, or coffee to fabricate the flavor - make it more rich and interesting.

A wine tasting education plan usually takes the learner through the basics of the kinds of wine, the effects of climate, important vintages, soil and grape varieties, winemaking trends and important producers.

There are many roads to learning the secrets of wine tasting. Wine merchants and wine clubs offer wine tasting events that are informal and can be fun for the beginner. To know more about wines a visit to a winery in France, Spain or Italy can be a wonderful experience. There are wine-tasting trips, excursions and holidays available and what better road to learn about the wine world - a fascinating area of chateaus, vineyards and vintages.

Wine tasting and wine education is now a full-fledged professional course with many well known colleges offering certificates from simple wine appreciation courses, to Masters in wine. Many organizations also organize wine tasting and judging competitions that help to demystify the world of wine. You will learn and find out many useful wine tasting ideas from there.

Wine tasting courses are for those who are passionate about wine and are willing to invest their time in learning its nuances and caprices.
