2. Are You as Unhappy as T.O.?
|
By Mike Shannon
Anyone that has been with me during the fall season at anytime in the past 40 years knows that I am a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan. Sundays start early on TV with the Donovan McNabb show, the Andy Reid show, ESPN pre-game, network pregame, the game itself and then postgame live on Comcast for a few hours. Like…don't call me on Sunday when the Eagles are playing. One of my biggest thrills as a kid ... read more

3. Voices In Your Head
|
By Steve Gillman
Doctor Julian Jaynes wrote about a woman who talked daily to her long-dead grandmother, who she saw sitting in a chair each morning. As far as the doctor could tell, the woman never suffered any ill effects from this. In fact, she readily accepted that it was a hallucination, which didn't bother her at all. She just found the conversations, and her grandmother's advice, helpful.

8. Lightweight Backpacks - How Light?
|
By Steve Gillman
How light is light? Lightweight backpacks weigh less than three pounds, a standard I just invented. There are good packs under three pounds for almost all types of trips. My own Golite backpack weighs just 14 ounces, and has a capacity of 2900 cubic inches, plus 1000 more in the extension collar. It's more comfortable than any frame pack I've used, but then I don't carry more than 20 pounds in it... read more

Sinusitis
Simply put, sinusitis is inflammation of the lining of your sinuses.

The sinuses are located behind the eyes, the cheeks, and the jaw. They are chambers in which mucous is produced to clean out the bacteria that we take in every day through the mouth and nose. The mucous moves along the cilia, which are tiny, moving hairs that maneuver the mucous.... read more

15. Should you ever take a payday loan?
|
By Prakash Menon
Payday loans have many names -- cash advances, signature loans and paycheck loans, etc. Payday lenders provide quick and easy short-term cash to those who need money immediately. That's the big reason why they're so popular.
However, payday loans come at exorbitant costs. This can -- and often does -- lead borrowers into a downward spiral of rapidly escalating debt. Let's look at the issue fro... read more

By Lynella Grant
How to Critique Your Own Yellow Page Ad
Dr. Lynella Grant
Forget what you know about your business
Your goal is to see your Yellow Page display advertisement
the way a directory user sees it. You can’t act like you
know anything about your enterprise that isn’t there, on the
page. Look at your ad without pride or being identified with
your operation. If you pretend it’s someone else’s, yo... read more

17. Travelers Checks Versus Debit Cards
|
By Steve Gillman
My first time overseas, I had to exchange cash in $200 of travelers checks to pay a mountaineering guide who hadn't heard of American Express. The bank charged me $8. During the same trip, I used my debit card at an ATM to get $200 from my checking account. Once home, I saw that the charge for this was one dollar, and that was the last time I used traveler's checks.

21. Good Keywords - More Than Good Demand
|
By Steve Gillman
I get half of the world traffic for the term "dirtbagging," on one page of my backpacking site, but that only means ten visitors a month. Without decent keyword demand you can't ever get much traffic. Total demand is just one factor to consider, though. Here are some others.
1. Demand/supply ratio. There were 289,000 searches for "fishing" last month, but could you compete against the 35,000,0... read more

By Richard A. Chapo
An early distribution from an Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) or a qualified retirement plan need not be a “taxing” experience. Fortunately, there are exceptions to early distributions.
Any payment that you receive from your IRA or qualified retirement plan before you reach age 59½ is normally called an “early” or “premature” distribution. As such, these funds are subject to an additio... read more

24. The Power In A Gathering Of Women
|
By Eileen McDargh
Forget "fight or flight" as the only duo of responses in the face of stress. For women, there's a third response: "befriend". A landmark UCLA study turned five decades of stress research on its head with the revelation that a cascade of brain chemicals gives women a larger behavioral repertoire when confronted with stress. The hormone oxytocin is released as part of the stress response in women. ... read more

25. Rental Property - Refinance, Don't Sell
|
By Steve Gillman
You own a rental property for years, and never see the "big pay-off." Is it time to cash in on your investment, now that you've paid down the mortgage, and values are up? Maybe not.
The Problem With Selling
