			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a new game in town and it&#8217;s called  Male Enhancement.  No longer is this subject hush hush among the male members of society. Penile enhancement has popped up everywhere, including primetime television. So how many guys are looking for male enhancement? According to Internet stats, over 500,000 searches per month and growing! </p>
<p>Guys will be forever obsessed with their size that no amount of therapy or reassurance will cure. If the truth be told, the majority of women really don&#8217;t care about size near as much as the male ego does. Women want to be romanced and adorned by their male counterparts.</p>
<p>The real reason why many men seek out male enhancement is to feel better about themselves and honestly, that&#8217;s all that really matters. Having self confidence goes a really long way with women and if a guy feels really great about himself because of male enhancement, then why not?</p>
<p>There is a wide variety of enhancement methods out and also a lot of scams. It&#8217;s tough to sift through all the B.S. to get to the stuff that really works. Enhancement pills do increase blood flow and expand blood vessels, but the effects only last as long as you take the supplements.</p>
<p>Lately, there has been a lot of press about traction devices that stretch the male member and hold it in place. There has been private studies and reports in health magazines showing proven results. Yet the medical community is reluctant to embrace the findings.</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s just a matter of time until one of the big pharmaceutical companies see what type of market they are dealing with and come out with a device that&#8217;s endorsed by prominent members of the medical community nationwide.</p>
<p>If that happens, it wouldn&#8217;t be surprising to see male enhancement devices in big name chain fitness stores like GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. Personally, I don&#8217;t see anything wrong with this. It just goes back to the  feeling good about yourself thing. </p>
<p>Women get the hair and nails done and go shopping, so what&#8217;s wrong with guys wanting to feel good about themselves? One thing is for sure, male enhancement is here to stay and the market is just going to get bigger. So wouldn&#8217;t it be a lot easier to embrace the change than to shun it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know your credit history and score could have a tremendous impact on your ability to obtain insurance and how much you pay for it? Many consumers are not aware of this link and because of it they are often in for quite a surprise when the time comes to take out a new insurance policy. </p>
<p>Insurance carriers are becomingly increasingly aware that a tendency to pay other bills late may mean that you will pay your insurance premiums late as well. As a result, more and more carriers are opting to run your credit history before providing a quote. In some cases, a poor credit rating may mean you pay more for your insurance while in other cases it could mean you may not be able to obtain insurance at all. </p>
<p>Just how bad does your credit have to be to interfere with your ability to obtain insurance? It really depends on the guidelines used by that individual insurance company; however, in some cases, missing just as few as two credit card payments could mean you might have problems. In some instances, missing just two payments could mean you premium might be doubled. </p>
<p>You are not necessarily exempt from this type of problem even if you&#8217;ve been with the company for a long period of time or if you&#8217;ve had a good history in terms of losses, either. Some consumers have been rudely surprised to learn their policy has been cancelled due to credit score problems even though they had previously had a long relationship with their insurance carrier. </p>
<p>How can insurance companies do this, you might ask. As previously stated one reason is that many companies feel that you may have an increased tendency to pay your premiums late. Other companies justify the practice on the basis that if you&#8217;re irresponsible with money you may also be irresponsible with other aspects of your life. Some statistics serve to back up this theory, indicating the thought that individuals with poor money management skills also handle other areas of their life with less responsibility, such as driving or even taking care of their home. </p>
<p>Of course this doesn&#8217;t take into consideration the number of people who have a poor credit score due to the fact they have experienced financial difficulties rather than possess poor money management skills. </p>
<p>Is there anything you can do about this practice? Not really. If you have been with the company for a long period of time, you could try protesting it, but your chances of winning aren&#8217;t very good. </p>
<p>Ideally, it&#8217;s best to try to get your credit score in shape by running it yourself and making sure there are no errors on there to drag down your score. Then concentrate on raising it by paying down other debts and paying your bills on time. You may have to live with a higher premium for awhile but the good news is that when your credit score starts to rise your insurance premiums should go down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how many documentaries you&#8217;ve seen or how much you&#8217;ve heard about Australia or spoken to others about it, once you&#8217;ve taken your first look at Australia you&#8217;ll be forever hooked and want to come back for what can only be described as an exotic vacation.</p>
<p>Eventually, the urge will be there, irresistibly, to see it all. </p>
<p>There&#8217;s no doubt about it. You&#8217;ve not experienced the world until you&#8217;ve seen the wonders of Australia. </p>
<p>Have you ever imagined what it would be like to swim in crystal clear water, sit under a palm tree while sipping on some exotic drink or laze about beside a pool on a balmy night ? If you have, then Australia&#8217;s exotic islands are for you. They&#8217;re just irresistible !</p>
<p>However, it&#8217;s a big country consisting of some 8,000 islands, including the island State of Tasmania.</p>
<p>Australia&#8217;s island resorts and exotic island getaways offer a richly rewarding experience and are great romantic places for that exotic vacation. </p>
<p>Some of the best honeymoon places in the world can be found on Australia&#8217;s islands with resorts situated on islands ranging from small coral ones, where you can walk on the beach to the Great Barrier Reef, to an island made of pure sand - the World Heritage listed Fraser Island.</p>
<p>The Great Barrier Reef, off Australia&#8217;s east coast, is one of the wonders of the natural world. It is World Heritage listed and is one of Australia&#8217;s, and the world&#8217;s, premier holiday destinations. The combination of glorious weather, pristine rainforest, white sandy beaches, and an ocean varying in hue from blue to turquoise to green, ensures it&#8217;s where the world wants to go to lie on the beach, swim, surf, snorkel, sail, bushwalk and bird watch.</p>
<p>When it comes to exotic vacation spots, Queensland boasts an inviting array of easily accessible islands, where you&#8217;ll find unspoilt beaches, rainforest and superb resorts. Queensland&#8217;s islands offer a unique holiday experience and with resorts in the Tropical North, Whitsundays and Southern Queensland, the hardest decision is to choose your perfect exotic vacation spot. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re travelling to Sydney, why not get on another plane ? It&#8217;s well worth the effort, as you&#8217;ll have the opportunity of experiencing the wonders of Lord Howe or Norfolk Islands. Being sub-tropical getaways they&#8217;re quite different and, are among the world&#8217;s most natural heritage destinations. </p>
<p>Located 450Kms off mainland Australia, Lord Howe Island is the lone survivor of an extinct volcano chain. Its incredible, natural environment, with rainforest clad hills, green lagoons and unique wildlife, is perfect for cycling around. Norfolk Island is about 1,700Kms east-north-east of Sydney, or a two and a half hour flight. Much of the island is covered by national parks and reserves where birds are prolific. The sub-tropical climate makes it ideal for fishing, bushwalking, scuba diving and snorkelling.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking for a casual getaway or an indulgent escape, Australia&#8217;s beautiful islands cater for all ages, tastes and budgets. </p>
<p>Immerse yourself in the ultimate exotic vacation at some of the world&#8217;s most romantic places.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all probably know a couple religious hymns, but today&#8217;s fast-paced society is changing, and so is the style of music we listen to. Christian music has developed tremendously over the last century to represent the changing style of music that we enjoy. Contemporary music offers up-to-date music styles with the same traditional Christian message within the lyrics. In fact, Contemporary Christian music is growing quickly in popularity, and so is the number of subgenres offered to those interested in listening. In this article we discuss a few of the newer genres in Christian music.</p>
<p>Contemporary</p>
<p>Contemporary music literally covers all genres of new age Christian music, but is most commonly associated with a new movement of Christian music that has alternative rock, pop, and country sounds. The contemporary movement began in the 1960s, with this type of music then referred to as Jesus music. Some Christians dispute whether or not the contemporary tones fit into their religion, but contemporary is a popular genre that gives Protestant listeners an alternative faith-based style of music. The growth of contemporary styles has been strong since the mid 1990s, and newer artists and subgenres help to continue the expansion of Christian music.</p>
<p>Hip Hop</p>
<p>Christian hip hop, or gospel rap, is a unique genre of Christian music. Due to the often sinful nature of mainstream rap lyrics, it has been a tough road for Christian rap artists to gain popularity. However, beginning in the 1990s Christian rap has become popular with the younger generation looking for an uplifting form of music that reflects their urban lifestyle. The most popular innovators among Christian hip hop artists would likely be DC Talk, who took the music scene by storm in the late 1980s before making a switch to a more pop sound in the mid 1990s. Christian hip hop is a fabulous way for Christians to spread their faith to kids from the street and other youth looking for a fresh music genre. </p>
<p>Gospel</p>
<p>If gospel music does not fill your sole with spirit, then I am not sure what can! Gospel music is uplifting, inspiring, and fun to listen to. When most think of gospel music, churches in the south come to mind. In fact, gospel music has been thought to have started during times of slavery in the late 1800s. The genre of gospel became more defined and gained popularity in the first quarter of the twentieth century, and is now listened to worldwide. Gospel music is known for its strong vocals surrounded by electric guitars, bass, and drums. Gospel music thrives today and is certainly considered a staple of Christian music.</p>
<p>Christian Rock</p>
<p>Christian rock music covers a lot of ground with many different subgenres contained within the rock category. The  sex, drugs, and rock &#8216;n roll  explosion in the 1960s certainly made many Christians wary of jumping into the rock scene, but by the early 1970s Christian rock bands began to separate themselves from a demonic image, and instead produced Christian lyrics with rock tones. Today many bands are considered Christian rock artists, some more devoted to the Christian title than others. Although some might not realize this, the band U2 was a catalyst for Christian rock in the 1990s based on their enormous success beginning in the 1980s. </p>
<p>This is hardly a complete list of Christian music genres, but sampling some of these genres will give you a good taste of the great listening Christian music offers. Finding your favorite genre is important and will certainly enhance your experience. Being able to listen to your favorite Christian bands at home or on the go is a relaxing way to worship throughout the day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got an idea from Art Sobczak&#8217;s Telephone Prospecting And Selling Report.</p>
<p>In one of his articles he talked about sales questions.  What made his article especially interesting and powerful was that each question began with  How. </p>
<p>In addition to Art&#8217;s questions I&#8217;ve added a few of my own:</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How do you define quality?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How are you budgeting for this project?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How are you planning to make the decision for . . . ?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How have you evaluated these products in the past?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How have you evaluated suppliers in the past?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How have you quantified the cost of the problem you&#8217;re trying to solve?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How can we help you improve this?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How often does this happen?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How are you doing it now?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How often does your current supplier do business reviews?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How can we make this work for you?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How can we make this happen?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How can we speed up the process?</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; How am I doing?</p>
<p>Use these questions to get your prospects and customers talking.  The more they talk - the more you&#8217;ll learn about them.  And of course the more you know about your prospects and customers the easier it will be to solve their problems.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s one more  How  question I suggest using on a daily basis.</p>
<p>It is an introspective question which promotes continuous self-improvement.  When you ask this question on a daily basis you will experience dramatic growth and prosperity.</p>
<p>It takes courage to ask this question because it assumes there is still room for improvement.  If you have a big ego you may not be comfortable asking this question.</p>
<p>The perfect time of day to ask this question is at the end of the day - after your last sales call.</p>
<p>And when you ask this question be sure to consider the following:</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Making appointments</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Establishing goals</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Managing your time</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Communicating effectively</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Identifying opportunities</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Qualifying opportunities</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Adjusting selling styles to buying styles</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Presenting solutions</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Overcoming objections</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Asking for the business</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Measuring what matters most</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; Having an attitude of gratitude</p>
<p>Imagine spending a few minutes every day thinking of ways to improve.  Also try to imagine the impact continuous improvement will have on your sales and your personal income.</p>
<p>You can trigger your self-improvement program by asking one simple yet profound question.</p>
<p>The question is  How can I do it better?   These six words are the catalyst for continuous self-improvement.</p>
<p>Every time you ask the question,  How can I do it better  you automatically raise the bar on your level professionalism.</p>
<p>The reward asking this question is continuous improvement.</p>
<p>Why say something when you can ask something?</p>
<p>When you ask these questions, be prepared to listen and take notes.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m convinced the less you say the smarter you&#8217;ll sound.</p>
<p>Say less and you&#8217;ll sell more!</p>
<p>That has a nice ring to it!</p>
<p>Oh, and one more thing.  You can add another 12 questions, plus an additional 24 selling skills to your selling repertoire, when you order my book,  The 12 Best Questions To Ask Customers. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It may be the hope of all who have ever put pen to paper that they might be able to write on a full-time basis. The romantic notion of a writer&#8217;s life is compelling enough to many to find them seeking ways to make a living by crafting the written word.</p>
<p>David Boles is the publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Go Inside Magazine. Boles indicates his day starts at 8:00 a.m. and he rarely finishes writing until midnight. Boles has additional words of wisdom for new writers.</p>
<p>1. You will not get rich overnight</p>
<p>Some of Boles&#8217; advice runs counter to the idealistic notion of what a writer&#8217;s life is supposed to be,  The best thing you can do to prepare yourself for the life of a writer is to make certain you have a steady form of income that will cover your monthly nut. </p>
<p>2. Creativity may be overrated</p>
<p>Boles also indicates creativity is less about devising something altogether new and more about a willingness to find new ingredients for an old recipe,  There&#8217;s nothing new in the world and good writing is simply reinventing what has come before you in a new and delightful way. </p>
<p>3. Muse cooperation is not optional</p>
<p>While many writers feel that creative inspiration is required if you are to write anything of meaning, Boles has a more pragmatic approach to writing,  Making yourself sit down and create is more important than the desire to write. </p>
<p>4. An understanding spouse is worth their weight in gold</p>
<p>When you sit in front of your word processor for hours on end it may be difficult for others to see how what you are doing has much meaning, but Boles indicates if you are called to write you should,  Find someone who understands your need to write &#8212; for writing is a lonesome life and sharing that isolation with someone who unconditionally accepts your Calling is paramount to protecting your sanity and career. </p>
<p>5. Writer&#8217;s Block</p>
<p>Boles has some very straightforward advice for those who may feel they are experiencing a season of writer&#8217;s block,  Write. Just write. There is nothing else. </p>
<p>It should be clear that the life of a writer is not a pristine existence where creative thoughts are ever-present and publishers are always willing to publish your material. A writer&#8217;s life is hard work and rarely filled with instant gratification. However, for those who have experienced the call to write it is difficult to imagine a life lived any other way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spyware installs itself on the system and runs in the background. This slows the system down a great deal. Spyware also makes entries in the registry files. This must be removed with spyware removal programs.</p>
<p>By frequently adding and removing software and hardware from the system may make the system more and more sluggish over time. The system may become slow to the point of being annoying. Yet when the system was new it ran perfectly. There are many answers to why this happens. The system may be infected with viruses that are filling up the resources by replicating themselves or there may be Spyware operating in the background. These Spyware can wreck havoc with the system time by delaying the response of the processor to the programs that are running in front. One other possible reason could be that the registry has gotten full of obsolete entries and references that installing programs and hardware make in the registry. These entries are not removed when the programs or hardware are uninstalled. This has to be done manually or with any free Spyware removal tool made for the very purpose.</p>
<p>Use Software, Do Not Delve Into The Registry Manually</p>
<p>It is incorrect to assume that by uninstalling software from the system all the entries in the system pertaining to the software are removed. Nothing can be further from the truth. Many traces or entries of the uninstalled software or Spyware may be left behind in the system registry, either intentionally or unintentionally. These obsolete entries or references in the registry clutter up the system to such an extent that the system may crash and cause tremendous loss of data. A wake up call is the system slowing down and acting erratically. On such signs you should get some free anti-Spyware removal tool in addition to the anti virus software and scan the system for Spyware that may have installed itself on your system. Many anti virus packs come with software but it you do not have any it may do a world of good to get some anti-Spyware. After running the free anti-Spyware removal tool run the registry cleaner any free registry cleaner to remove all instances form the system registry.</p>
<p>Manual cleaning of the registry is very complicated as well as dangerous because if a wrong file is deleted the system may shut down and not boot up again unless the Operating System is reinstalled. It is for this reason that registry cleaners are designed. They do a great job in a few seconds and leave the system running more efficiently and fast. If your system has been running sluggishly lately. Run a registry cleaner after the anti-Spyware and it will surely be a pleasure to work on the system again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Batman one of the best movie of all time, from cartoon series, tv series, and even on the big screen. Lots of people specially kids really love this movie. This movies have lots of award. Some of this are:</p>
<p>Batman Awards:</p>
<p>Academy<br />1989 Best Art Direction Anton Furst<br />1989 Best Art Direction Peter Young</p>
<p>Golden Globe<br />1989 Best Actor - Musical or Comedy Jack Nicholson</p>
<p>PEO<br />1989 Best Film (in Drama) </p>
<p>and more.. </p>
<p>The 1960s Batman TV series focuses on Bruce Wayne, a multi-billionaire living in crime capital Gotham City. Bruce Wayne is Batman a crime fighting super hero that uses only his wits and some advance gadgets and vehicles to combat criminals and bring them to justice. When Bruce was just a child he&#8217;s parents were murdered in front of him, because of this Bruce trained himself to become tough enough to fight thugs and criminals. Along with Bruce is Dick Grayson a former circus acrobat who became Batman&#8217;s sidekick Robin, they secure Gotham from bigtime criminals such as the Joker, Penguin, Scarecrow, the Riddler and Catwoman. </p>
<p>Batman (1960s TV series) </p>
<p>The series debuted on January 12, 1966 and was marked for its high camp, and continues to be the version many associate with the Batman character despite it perhaps being least representative of the many versions. </p>
<p>Despite the abhorrence of the TV series by Batman&#8217;s fans of the 1970s through the present day, the live-action TV show was extraordinarily popular; at the height of its popularity, it was the only prime-time TV show broadcast twice in one week as part of its regular schedule, airing on Wednesdays and Thursdays.</p>
<p>The hippie counterculture of the 1960s enjoyed the fact that even though they would eventually win and put the bad guys in jail, Batman and Robin portrayed the forces of  law and order  as being woefully humorless,  square , and unaware of the fact that the world was laughing at them. </p>
<p>The series was produced in the United States of America and debuted at 7:30, Wednesday evening, January 12, 1966 on ABC television, at a time when other popular TV series included The Andy Griffith Show and The Wild Wild West. The Batman series set a standard that identifies it as a product of the 1960s. It was known for its silly high camp humour and continues to be the version some associate with the Batman character despite it being least reflective of the Batman mythos as it is known today. (The series was very reflective of the character as portrayed in comics in the late 1950s and early 1960s.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people have a pre-conceived notion that if there computer has a firewall or the latest anti-virus protection they are completely safe from hackers. This is simply not true.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you have a firewall or not. Sure, it blocks some unwanted intrusion to your computer but it can&#8217;t block them all because of the very nature of the system. Just like a tiny bug that comes from outside and enters your home all it needs is the smallest opening and its there! Web traffic has to pass through firewalls to access your computer and even the best firewalls cannot process all the hugh amounts of inbound information.</p>
<p>Before a hacker can &#8216;hack&#8217; they have to talk to a computer in its own native tongue. Much of the time it&#8217;s HTML (hypertext markup language), but it can be Java, XML, Perl or a number of others. Most successful hackers have much more than a basic knowledge of computer languages as well as how security systems function. A hacker can be anybody with enough knowledge of computer languages and a great deal of computer savvy to look at a URL string and read between the lines. All a hacker needs to do is &#8216;request&#8217; information from web sites, servers or PCs using there unique knowledge of computer languages by using simple-well placed codes that may seen trivial yet extract a great deal of what you thought was secure information about you or your business. A hacker can, with persistence get administrative control of a web page and do just about anything to it like changing colors, graphic, text or Meta tags.</p>
<p>The only tools a hacker needs is an internet browser and a target URL. Broadly speaking a URL structure is: Protocol://sever/path/to/resourse?parameters This roughly translates to:   targetsite.com/directory/files  http://targetsite.com/directory/files </p>
<p>When you open your browser to a web page what&#8217;s viewed is what the browser interprets and displays. There is an ocean of information behind the pictures and text. On a typical web page, not readily available to the human eye but can be found none the less is information such as the HTML source code, source code keywords, hidden parameters, hyperlinks and a whole lot more. The more a hacker knows the better they can plan an attack. These people are very good at tricking a web server to release a source code for an application or script without it being executed. With enough prodding and poking at a web server they can view the original source code of the HTML content generated by the script. The method of attack will depend on what the hacker learns from the information accumulated from the server side, browser or client side.</p>
<p>Protocols </p>
<p>HTTPS is a protocol used for encrypted traffic within an HTTP stream. HTTPS is mainly used by sites that offer security where credit card and bank account numbers are used. Another level of security is the Secure Sockets Layer set of protocols (SSL) that has become a standard way to communicate between a web browser and a web site when a high level of security is needed. Not only that, but it can help secure e-mail, file downloads, and chat line conversations by using File Transfer Protocols (FTP) that works with SSL. Without this type of security in place it is relatively easy for someone to read the information you are transmitting. The thing to know here is that SSL only secures information in transit (between computer and website). It does not and will not guarantee security at your end and the site you are viewing! You will have to trust security measures at the site you are viewing and rely on your own computers virus and firewall protection. SSL uses a symmetric key cryptography for encryption, meaning the client and server uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt communication. If a hacker can decode the encryption key they can decipher the message coming in and going out.</p>
<p>Cookies</p>
<p>Many sites you visit will set a cookie on your system when you view that site. The purpose of cookies is to give you easier and faster access to the sites resources and to identify you later if you choose to purchase a product from them. This cookie will keep your personal information such as name, address and credit card number on their file in case you visit them again at a later date. The site itself has its own cookie system with the same personal information so when some user logs in they know who they are, what was ordered previously and what credit card was used so they can give you the &#8216;use same and credit card?&#8217; option. Because a lot of websites have security vulnerabilities hackers can view there cookies and retrieve credit card numbers and other personal info. Most web browsers let a user delete cookies on there system, either all of them or manually but they are still on the website visited. A common problem is if you punch in   buyitnowsite.com  http://buyitnowsite.com  and it sets up a cookie on your system, the creator of that cookie may have specified the domain type as site.com rather than buyitnow.com. Your browser then will offer up that cookie to any page in the same domain like virusdownloadsite.com (for example) or any site that you visit which may not have good intentions for you. This can lead to other sites having access to your personal information not intended for them. This could have been prevented if the technician who created that cookie made it specific enough to include the whole site name (buyitnow) in the coding. Really cookies are not intended to store information like user names and passwords, but unfortunately it is a common practice with websites and a hacker can view this information when infiltrating them. The best way to combat against cookie threats is through cookie management software that gives you full control over the use of cookies, which should include:</p>
<p>* Disable the sending and saving of cookies</p>
<p>* Notification before a cookie is sent</p>
<p>* Control of sending and receiving cookies based on the domain</p>
<p>* Look at and delete the contents of cookies</p>
<p>Most internet browser should give you a whole lot more options for cookies in the advanced tab or you can buy cookie software to have complete and easy access over all cookies.</p>
<p>I have mentioned here only a few areas of concern on protecting computer systems and internet browsing but there are others left untouched due to space ( one could write a book on the subject) but I hope you can see we are at more risk than you think. Because many of us have so easy access to the internet like an &#8216;always on connection&#8217; computers and servers will always be a target for hackers. Also the speed of connecting increases the risk of attack and the harder it will be to filter that access and make it harder for hackers. Even though we may never be completely safe from hackers there are things we can do to make there job harder. Never store personal information (passwords, credit card numbers) on your PC; instead use a floppy dick or CD for your private information and eject it from your PC when done. A general rule on firewalls is to block all incoming traffic that you didn&#8217;t initiate. Don&#8217;t run applications you are not familiar with and take what you download! Most important is to backup everything on your computer and make a bootable disk that you know is clean from infection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ALWAYS look your best. I know this sounds REALLY obvious but you&#8217;d be surprised by how many men don&#8217;t understand the importance of this simple tip. You never know when the girl of your dreams will turn up, or where. And it&#8217;s become a bit of a cliché because it&#8217;s true &#8212; first impressions really do count.</p>
<p>Here are some figures to consider from my studies.</p>
<p>If you make a GOOD first impression on a woman, you have a 90% chance of EVER getting with her at that point (10% of women for whatever reason will be unreachable for most men at ANY point - she might like women herself etc).</p>
<p>If you make a BAD first impression your chances with her reduce drastically to just 20%. This means that to make her attracted to you AFTER the first 3 minutes of meeting her will be incredibly difficult if her first impressions of you were bad.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the difference between climbing a mountain and using a helicopter to fly up one. Good first impressions means you&#8217;re on your way to the top in the helicopter, bad first impressions means you have a difficult climb to success - no helicopters for you.</p>
<p>Honestly, I can&#8217;t stress this enough &#8212; always try to look your best.</p>
<p>Tiff&#8217;s 5 S&#8217;s of first impressions.</p>
<p>Shave. Shower. Stylish. Smell. Shoes.</p>
<p>Remember these 5 S&#8217;s and always take care of them before you go out.</p>
<p>Why are shoes my number 5 S?</p>
<p>Your shoes are the FIRST thing a woman really notices about your clothing and hence your appearance. Make sure your shoes are clean and fashionable.</p>
<p>What you wear is very important. I could try to recommend a certain look but as with all things fashionable by the time you read this it may have changed. </p>
<p>Get the latest GQ magazine or other fashionable men&#8217;s magazine&#8217;s and imitate the styles you see there &#8212; most women don&#8217;t really care what labels you are wearing as long as you look good so you don&#8217;t have to spend the Earth on clothing. </p>
<p>Many guys I help dress better usually comment on how strange they feel wearing clothes they are uncomfortable in, but nine times out of 10 they start to feel natural and even confident wearing their new wardrobe within days.</p>
<p>Make sure you smell good. Again this is extremely important. Remember how you feel when a woman walks by you and she smells soooo good - you feel an instant attraction even though you don&#8217;t know her - well, that&#8217;s how women feel too. </p>
<p>Wear a good-quality cologne, but don&#8217;t spray too much. </p>
<p>One squirt on both sides of the neck, and one squirt on both wrists &#8212; maximum. You don&#8217;t want to smell too overpowering. </p>
<p>I recommend cool water by Davidoff or John Paul Gautier for Men (often called JPG love juice because women love it) if they don&#8217;t sell it where you are try to order some from abroad, this stuff is GREAT!</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s a GREAT little SECRET that I have found will help you actually pickup about 24% of women without SAYING a word to them! Not a single word! And NO rejection either. You won&#8217;t find this anywhere else either. To find out how, check out my page.</p>
