Russian Superstitions

Russians are very superstitious people. They will deny this, but it is true. These superstitions affect my life on a daily basis. Most of the time they are harmless and I go along with them to humor my wife. Sometimes I tease her about them.

New superstitions pop up all the time, as new situations arise in our life. I keep telling her that I need a rulebook for them. Perhaps someday I will codify them in a book.

Russians are raised with these superstitions so they have no need to consult a manual. Here are some of them. It is by no means an exhaustive list:

1) You cant whistle in the house or car, as they believe that you are whistling away your money.

At a dinner party at our house, a friend of mine started whistling. My wife silenced him immediately. She explained to him, You can whistle in your own house, but you cant whistle in mine. In my house, its my money you are whistling away.

When she first came to America, she would see people standing at intersections holding signs. She asked me what they were doing. I told her they were asking for money. She asked me why. I told her that they had done entirely too much whistling in their house for their own good.

2) If you step on your spouses shoe by accident, you have to let the other person step on your shoe, or you will have an argument.

I never tested this superstition. It seemed easier to go along with the remedy than pay the price for violating it.

3) If you leave your house, you cannot go back inside for something you have forgotten, or your trip will result in nothing good, as my wife says.

4) If you must go back in to get the forgotten item, you can try to mitigate the bad effects of returning by looking into the mirror at your own reflection for a moment before you leave again.

5) Never demonstrate anothers surgery or wound on your own body with your hand or other means as you are likely to visit that upon yourself.

In the few times I have done this, my wife has tried to remedy this by wiping away the spot where I made the imaginary incision with her hand, blowing on her hand to blow it away to the wind, and covering it with the sign of the cross.

6) Never give a Russian woman an even number of flowers. Even numbers are for the dead. Always give odd numbers. When you order a dozen, or two dozen roses, for her, ask them to throw in an extra one for good luck.

7) Never give yellow flowers to a Russian woman. It signifies infidelity and may mean that your relationship will not last.

8) Never give a watch as a gift to a Russian woman. Time is running out on your relationship.

9) Never give knives or handkerchiefs as gifts. I dont know the reason for this one.

10) Never celebrate a birthday early. You are pushing your luck.

11) Dont show your newborn baby to strangers until after forty days. They are waiting for their soul to arrive and they may take on anothers soul or energy during that time.

12) Its best to cut your hair or nails during a full moon.

13) It's considered bad luck to shave or cut your hair when a family member is in danger or bad health.

14) Whenever someone praises you or offers a positive comment, you knock on wood or imaginarily spit three times over your left shoulder so that you are not jinxed by the comment.

15) Do not shake hands or kiss over the threshold of a door. It forms a bridge that allows the devil or evil spirits from the outside to enter the house this way. When I have done this by mistake, my wife usually pushes me back outside or pulls me inside before greeting me with a kiss at the front door.

16) Before anyone takes a long trip, the whole family sits together silently for a few minutes before the traveler leaves.

17) The truly superstitious have been known to eat lucky bus tickets, when the sum of the left three numbers equals the sum of the three numbers on the right.

18) Recently, while preparing to give my infant daughter a bath, the little tyke peed on me while I was taking her clothes off. My wife laughed and said that it was good news. It meant that I would live to dance at my daughters wedding!

This list is not exhaustive by any means. Superstitions vary by country and locale. There is a popular Russian television show that travels around the country exploring the unique superstitions of each particular town or village.

Many of the superstitions came from folk tales or fairy stories, Russian Orthodox tradition, or had peasant or agricultural roots. Most Russians are only one or two generations from the farm or village.

At any rate, be aware of the superstitions and try to show some respect for them whether or not you believe in them. Your Russian friends will appreciate it.

John has been married to a Russian women for over five years. He has travelled the path from finding her, to traveling to Russia, to bring his wife to America, and adjusting to married life. He will show you step by step how to do this yourself. www.russian-luv.com/superstitions.html

What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a cancer of the mesothelium; the protective sac that covers and protects most internal organs of the body. The mesothelium has two layers, one, which covers the organ, and a second, which forms a sac around it. The mesothelium has different names depending on the location in the body. The pleura is the name for the mesothelial tissue surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity. The peritoneum covers most of the organs in the abdominal cavity, while the pericardium covers and protects the heart.

The mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that allows organs within it to move and glide easily. The fluid allows the lungs to breathe and the heart to expand and contract without creating any type of internal friction.

Like other forms of cancer, mesothelioma occurs when cells become abnormal and divide or grow out of control. When someone has mesothelioma, the helpful lubricating fluid described above may be over-produced. This excess fluid encases the organs with a thick layer of tumor tissue, described as a rind type of layer. In advanced cases of mesothelioma, cells metastasize, or grow and invade other organs and spread to other areas of the body.
The majority of individuals suffering from mesothelioma have cancer in the lining of the lung. Sometimes, mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneal mesothelioma) or in the lining of the heart (pericardial mesothelioma).

The symptoms of mesothelioma are common to a number of illnesses which means that mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose. Unique types of treatment for mesothelioma are still being investigated through clinical trials and research, but as a general rule, mesothelioma does not respond well to most treatments that are currently being offered.

Mesothelioma is caused by breathing or ingesting asbestos fibers. The coarse fibers cause scarring of the mesothelial tissue which can cause asbestosis or pleural plaques. Unfortunately, the scarring can also lead to cancer known as mesothelioma.

It often takes 20 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos before the symptoms of mesothelioma develop. This period of time is referred to as a latency period. Because of the latency period, the disease commonly affects men and women that are at least 50 years of age and that worked with asbestos between 20 and 50 years ago. Many workers working 20 to 50 years ago did not use any type of protection in the workplace while they were exposed to the dust or fibers from asbestos. At the same time, however, many of the companies employing the workers had full knowledge that asbestos was dangerous and that exposure to asbestos would harm the health of many of the workers. Insulators, plasterers, electricians, pipefitters, mechanics, ironworkers, ship builders, ship workers, brick layers, carpenters, and other tradesmen are just a few examples of workers that were likely to work with asbestos on a day-to-day basis. Also at risk are the families of these workers, as the asbestos fibers may be brought into the home from the clothes, skin, or hair of the worker.

If the mesothelioma is detected in the earlier stages and treated aggressively, studies have shown that half will survive two years and 20 percent will survive five years. However, if the diagnosis is for Advanced Mesothelioma, only 10 percent have a three-year survival rate and only 5 percent have a life expectancy of five years.
Keep in mind that these statistics should only be used as general guidelines, and not as a definitive idea of an individual patient's survival rate. Patients are encouraged to speak with their physicians about their individual prognosis.

Unfortunately, millions of people have been exposed to asbestos over the years. Only now are we able to see the disastrous effects of asbestos exposure in the workplace.

As with other cancers, a speedy diagnosis is important to effective treatment of mesothelioma. If you believe that you may have mesothelioma and that you worked with asbestos in the past, you may wish to inform your doctor of this fact.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma in the last five years, you may wish to meet with an attorney to discuss your legal rights. Anyone who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma should consider this option. If you have a loved one who is deceased because of mesothelioma, their spouse or an executor of the estate should also consider legal representation.

There are different avenues to consider regarding representation and the possibilities of obtaining compensation. We believe it is important that you choose representation by a firm that is exclusively devoted to mesothelioma claims. We believe you should choose a firm that has years of experience and a proven track record with mesothelioma claims.

How to Sell Your Home by Owner, Double Your Profits and Avoid Taxes When You Sell

When you want to sell your property, you are probably looking for someone who can qualify for a bank mortgage to buy your home, right?

Of course, you have to pay off your mortgage...or do you?

Assuming you are successful in finding a buyer, the costs of the sale will probably wipe out your equity, or profit on the sale.

The National Association of Realtors estimates that the average home sells for approximately 9% less than the asking price.

Take out 2%-3% for the seller paid closing costs, approximately 3% for the on-going costs of mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs for the 90-150 days between listing and closing, and you have lost at least 14% of the value of your home to the costs of selling!

Imagine having to subtract another 6% for the realtor!

And, if you are the average homeowner, you have less than 25% equity in your home to start with, according to the National Association of Mortgage Bankers.

Do the math and you will see that you will walk away from the sale of your home with virtually nothing, unless

For every property for sale, including yours, there exits a market of Phantom Buyers.

These are people who would love to buy a house like yours, but who cannot or will not qualify for a bank mortgage.

They may be self-employed business people, small business owners, or foreign nationals. They do not want to have to show tax returns, financial statements or assets. And yes, there may be others in this category with bad credit resulting from a personal or business reversal.

What they all have in common is that, in most cases; they have plenty of cash and the income to support the monthly payments necessary to finance the purchase of your house.

When you offer your home on terms that meet their needs, with seller financing, these Phantom Buyers will gladly pay you 20-30% more than the fair market value of your home.

You will double or triple your profit from the sale!

However, there is only one way to be able to sell your home with seller financing to someone else without them having to get a new mortgage to replace yours.

You must place the title to your home into a properly structured land trust, then you sell it with seller financing to one of the Phantom Buyers.

Remember, you will Not need money to pay off your mortgage! This will certainly limit, if not eliminate the need for substantial amounts of cash at the closing.

The new buyer usually pays you a substantial down payment, perhaps even the total amount of equity you have in the house, then makes payments on the balance; if any of your equity, and takes over the payments on your mortgage.

You could even decide to take a sail boat, a Mercedes Benz or any other valuable item as all or part of the down payment. You are the Bank, you make the rules!

The term of the deal can be anything mutually agreeable, from a year or two to 20 years or more.

Incidentally, you can probably add a point or two to the interest rate on the balance you are owed, providing you with a care free, passive income for as long as the buyer is paying your mortgage.

For example, your mortgage is $200,000 at 6%. There is also $50,000 of your equity the buyer still owes. You require him to make payments to you at the rate of 8%. You are now receiving 2% on $250,000 or $5,000 per year, passive income with No land lording headaches!

The situation is similar to financing a car through the bank. The owner of the car uses it as he pleases. The only thing he does not have is the title to the car. The bank holds it until it is paid off. If the car gets banged up in an accident, the buyer does not expect the bank to fix it, even though the bank is the true "owner" of the car.

Your buyer has all the rights and benefits of home ownership, including the tax write offs for the mortgage interest, real estate taxes, etc. The only thing he does not have, is the title, which is held by the trustee of the land trust.

Bottom line?

You have sold your house for the fair market value or higher
You have 100% or most of your original equity at closing
You will receive a steady passive income for years
You will receive another cash infusion when the new owner gets his own mortgage or when he sells the property.

It is not unusual for you to make two or three times more profit than you would have walked away with in a sale to a normal buyer:

You get upfront cash
You get positive cash flow every month
You receive cash profit when your buyer cashes you out
Your equity increases as the mortgage is paid down
You can write off the depreciation from your taxes

All this with no more tenant, toilet or trash problems!

If your new buyer fails to keep the property up or fails to make his payments, you notify the trustee and he is evicted, with no costly or time consuming foreclosure needed.

You simply find another Phantom Buyer with another down payment and start over.

The land trust is a little known device used by wealthy property owners for hundreds of years to protect their assets and provide complete privacy for their property dealings.

Oh, almost forgot. Since this is not a "Sale", (the title remains in the name of the trustee) you do not pay any transfer tax, real estate taxes do not go up as the property is not reassessed and you do not have to pay any income tax on your gains!

Especially important if you are selling an investment property.

It's Never Too Late to Develop a Roadmap

Occasionally the entrepreneurial surf can get a bit rough. Whether it is an unexpected expense that dips heavily into our reserve, or a "a sure thing" that just never seems to materialize, we must constantly make adjustments or risk being dashed to pieces in the waves. Okay, the imagery might be a bit harsh, but the marketplace is, too - especially for entrepreneurs. The explosion of small businesses continues, but a good percentage of these businesses fail to stay in the game for a 2nd or 3rd year.

How can we increase the likelihood that our business will succeed? Planning and research are crucial. If you did not develop a business plan before opening your doors; develop one now. As painful and tedious a prospect as this may seem - it can play a huge role in your future success. Developing your business and marketing plan (Thought you could just hang up your shingle and people would show up, did you?) will serve as a clear blueprint for your success.

Developing these two crucial business documents will force you to ask tough questions that you may never have considered like: Who is your competition? What differentiates you from them? Who is your target market? How will you reach them? What are your mission and goals? What are your company policies?

While hiring someone to draft these documents for you is an option - the time that you spend researching these questions will be well spent. The answers will help you navigate the waves and stay afloat for a long time to come.

While preparation is essential - there are some situations for which you just aren't prepared. How can you learn from these experiences and protect yourself from getting burned in the future?

Cheap Pet Insurance in 5 Steps

Pet insurance is becoming increasingly popular in the UK but, do you really need it?

Some pet owners self insure their pet by saving a regular monthly amount instead of paying premiums to an insurance company. If your pet requires treatment, there are funds available to pay all or some of the cost. If you don't, the money just rolls up gaining interest and is always yours.

In practice, self insuring your pet should only be considered in limited circumstances and for pets that are unlikely to cause injury or accident to others which could result in legal action. For example, if a dog, directly or indirectly, injures another pet or even a person, you could be faced with hefty vet or medical bills at best. At worst you could be on the receiving end of court action and substantial legal claim.

So, for most pet owners, insurance is a prudent choice but are all pet insurance policies equal?

TOP TIPS FOR CHOOSING PET INSURANCE

1. Compare the price
2. Consider the policy excess
3. Are you protected by lifelong cover?
4. Look at other benefits
5. Read the small print

1. COMPARE THE PRICE
Obviously, the cost of insuring your pet is an important factor. But different insurers have different ways of pricing pet insurance premiums, so always get a quote for your specific circumstances to compare like with like.

2. CONSIDER THE EXCESS
Pet insurance providers use a number of methods to save themselves money when it comes to paying out claims. The main one is to include a high excess on their policies.

The policy excess is the amount that you have to pay each time you make a claim for a certain condition, so choosing a cheaper product with a higher excess could actually end up costing you money if you do need to claim.

3. ARE YOU PROTECTED WITH LIFELONG COVER
You should check carefully what you are being offered by pet insurers and understand clearly what they mean by "lifelong cover". Understanding lifelong cover can be complicated, but here are a few simple guidelines on the types of cover generally available...

Time limited cover
Some plans will only cover a condition for the first year you claim.

For Example: If your pet developed arthritis, you might be able to claim up to 2,000 for the first year's treatment, but no more. You would then have to cover the cost of treatment every year yourself, for the rest of your pet's life.

Financially limited cover
Some insurers call their financially limited cover 'lifelong cover'. In this case, an insurer will pay out each year, but only up to a fixed total amount for each condition. After that, they will stop paying out.

For Example: If your pet developed diabetes and you had a policy that was financially capped at 3,500, you may need to claim 2,000 in the first year. By year two, the amount you can claim for treatment of the diabetes is now just 1,500. After this, you would have to pay for the treatment for the rest of your pet's life.

Lifelong cover
The best pet insurance is cover that pays for treatment up to a certain amount, every year, for as long as your pet needs treatment.

For Example: If your pet developed epilepsy and your policy covered up to 3,000 every year, you could claim for treatment up to this limit each year for the rest of your pet's life.

4. LOOK AT OTHER BENEFITS
Whilst cover for vets fee's is the key element of pet insurance, most insurers offer a range of additional benefits. These can include cover for:

• The cost of advertising and reward to recover your pet if it were to go missing;
• The cost of looking after your pet if you have to stay in hospital;
• The original purchase price of your pet if it is lost or passes away;
• The cost of your pet causing damage for which you are legally liable.

There are many other policy benefits available, so read through the full list of cover benefits to make sure the insurance you have is right for you.

5. READ THE SMALL PRINT
All insurance plans have terms and conditions to make clear what is covered and what is not. Some providers make this clearer than others so be certain you are fully aware of how and when the policy will or will not pay out.

7 Crucial Steps for Office Refurbishment or Business Relocation

Are you in need of extra office space but not happy to move? Want to improve the first impression your office makes on visitors? Then it is time to look at the key areas to address when planning an office upgrade. From the evaluation and planning stage, through design, implementation and completion, there are many large steps to take and many decisions to address, to ensure that your office refurbishment project meets your requirements.

These include planning and project evaluation, interior design (including placement of partitions, plumbing, ceilings and walls), communications installations (phone, fax, external networking) and data cabling, and furniture and equipment. As part of this process, of course, attention is needed on latest environmental and health and safety regulations.

Preliminary Evaluation and Feasibility

Before considering a move, it is of course natural that a complete re-evaluation of the use of current space is made. A successful outcome might be that a move to new premises is not needed. Your evaluation and feasibility planning stage of the project will compare options, develop plans and make a final selection. Thus the project could become an office refurbishment project and not a relocation plan. But whether the plan is to refurbish and fit out existing premises, or to move to a new location, the next and following steps are the same, which are:

Commercial Interior Design

The first step is to use design skills to implement business requirements. These days this process is carried out with highly sophisticated communications software which can give all responsible project members a powerful tool where designs can be evaluated in real-time via shared documentation and imaging systems. This means CGI created or hand-rendered 3D images of any design scheme to give you a real understanding of how your new office will look and feel. This would help with updates to old office layouts or a complete re-design of shell space in new premises.

Project & Build Management

This step covers the framework of the project implementation process. It will include the finalising of the design brief, site investigation, creation of cost schedules, and of work packages and legal compliance implementation. Then a project design team needs to be appointed - usually a combination of internal decision-makers and appointed outside experts.

Fitting Out Works

This phase includes all aspects of office fitting, including reception counters and waiting areas; storage walls; media walls; internal and external feature doors and ironmongery. The phase is best implemented by appointment of an office refurbishment contractor with a good database of quality approved suppliers. Expertise is needed in mechanical and electrical installation and commissioning including air-conditioning systems. Other specialist areas include data backbone and cabling (including Cat6 cabling) , lighting (including CAT2 cabling) as well as special flooring and ceiling systems.

Office Furniture

A detailed furniture specification, based on your criteria and budget is important, as furniture can be procured in a number of ways, tailored to requirements and best managed as a one-off purchase for best discounts and to enable outside contractors to add value on its installation. Advice in this area is especially important in terms of procuring the best ergonomically focussed furniture to ensure staff morale and government health and safety regulations are both fully addressed.

Managing the Move

The project must have an experienced move co-ordinator to ensure nil or minimal business interruption and compromise whilst the changes are taking place. Phased moves, logistics and priorities need to be logged and planned to cover existing furniture itineraries, I.T. schedules, work-to-lists, removal of safes and copiers and handover and out of hours supervision where needed.

Health and Safety Compliance, and Risk Assessment

With any move or upgrade, it is vital to carry out a comprehensive management audit covering five main areas of your company. These are: management of Health & Safety; Mechanical & Personal Safety; Fire Protection; Accident investigating and recording; General housekeeping, safety signs etc. It is also vital, of course, that your company policy contains the necessary organizational responsibilities and arrangements for implementation and carrying out the Policy Statement. Safe working procedures can be written to cover specific work activities undertaken on the premises.

These phases contain within each of them, a need to be up to date with current best practice and to ensure employment of correctly qualified personnel with appropriate accreditation. The 7 steps I have outlined here are designed to highlight the key areas to explore in discussions with any Office Relocation consultancy company as part of your office refurbishment procurement process.

Why Won't My Car Start?

Have you ever had your car just "die" on you, you try to start it and it just will not start. You end up calling a tow truck and paying those big tow bills, then to make matters worse the technician at the shoptells you that it will cost hundreds of dollars to make it run again,is that true? Maybe maybe not.

I own and work as a diagnostics Tech here at Ace Automotive in Lakewood Wa and I can tell you from experience if some people knew just a little more about their cars workings they could save a whole lotta money. Say for instance you are driving at night wipers and heater ,lights and radio on you notice that the headlights keep getting dimmer and dimmer soon the vehicle "dies" and now won't start the most likely cause is the alternator has failed, not the battery because if the battery failed the alternator would still keep power to the vehicle until you turned it off then it would not restart.

You are driving for a while and the car just "shuts off" all the instrument lights come on but when you try to start it it just turns over but will not start. First it depends what kind of car this happend to if it was an import like say Honda, acura, toyota, subaru, nissan, mitubishi,the engine timing belt may have broken (if it's been more that 60,000 miles since you changed it last time) you should be able to tell if when you try to start the engine it sounds different like its just "freewheeling" faster than normal, this is bad cause most of the import cars mentioned will do expensive damage to the engine when the timing belt breaks.

If your vehicle is a domestic one chevy ford ect, be patient wait a little bit maybe 30-45 min and try to start it if it starts hurray! But it will "die" again once it's hot enough again, be sure to tell your local tech this valuable information and ask for all parts they replace to repair your vehicle to let them know you know something about the car too.
