Drowning in a Sea of Debt?

Debt Consolidation Can Be a Life Preserver

The recession isn't slowing down and darker days may be ahead before there is any significant brightening on the horizon. Unfortunately many families won't be able to wait out the storm as a result of higher credit card debt, plummeting real estate values, and rising unemployment rates. Estimates put credit card debt at nearly $10,000 per household and the total consumer debt at $30,000 per household. Combined with a downward spiral in the value of investment or retirement portfolios it's no wonder the outlook is gloomy. Struggling to make monthly payments adds tremendously to the stress many people are under, and for many, there seems to be no solution

in sight. Fortunately, those struggling to keep their head above water do have several options including debt consolidation.

"Many families in the United States are facing a credit crisis and in quite a few cases it's not their fault," says Joe Kenney, of Thistle Finance Group, tfgi.com. "We developed www.tfgi.com as a safe harbor, a place where debtors could learn about debt consolidation loans in a calm, straightforward manner."

Debt consolidation is simply when a new loan is obtained that is used to pay off unsecured debts. In most cases the new payment amount is significantly less than the individual payments to all the different creditors resulting in some breathing room.

If the new debt consolidation loan is secured on real property, a home for example, the interest rate may be substantially less than credit card interest rates resulting in even more of a break in monthly payments.

"Many families think that bankruptcy is their only option to get out of debt," explains Kenney. "They don't realize that with the new more stringent bankruptcy laws they may not even qualify. And in any event the bankruptcy stays on their credit record for seven years."

Debt settlement, another option for getting out of debt, is negotiating with creditors to accept as payment in full a lesser amount than the principal amount owed. But this is not the ideal solution for most consumers, says Kenney: "The downside to debt settlement is twofold. Until the debt has actually been paid the

debtor can still be pursued for payment and taken to court. In addition the fact that the debt hasn't been paid in full will be reported to the credit bureaus and can damage the debtor's credit score."

A debt consolidation program combined with closing the paid off credit card accounts and other consumer debts, reducing household spending and sticking to a realistic budget can put most debtors back on track. But it is important for those in financial difficulty to be proactive and not just wait and hope that the times will get better. Companies like Thistle Financial Group (tfgi.com) have considerable experience with

the implementation of debt consolidation programs that can help consumers plug the leaks in their financial ship and set sail for a more prosperous future--and an end to financial related stress.

23 full grown elephants? That's a lot of books.

News Release

(Fountain Hills, AZ – June 2, 2008) The year 2007 saw 276,649 new books released by traditional publishers in the United States, according to Bowker, a leading provider of bibliographic information. The number of new titles increased about 1% from 2006. 276,649 titles is quite a few books.

Dee Power, the co-author with Brian Hill, of "The Making of a Bestseller," puts this number into perspective. If the books were shelved side by side, spine out, one would need almost 4.5 miles of shelving. If the books were stacked one atop the other, they would reach almost ten times higher than the world’s tallest building, the Taipei 101, which measures 1,671 feet. To transport one copy of each title, the vehicle would have to be capable of hauling 103 tons or 23 full grown elephants. Laying the books down in a straight line would require a little over 30 miles of railroad tracks.

If one person spent twelve hours every day reading each and every title it would take 263 years to finish them all.

If each author received a $5000 advance, the total would be over $1.3 billion. And most interestingly of all, if one author wrote all these books, consecutively, he or she, would have had to start writing during the time of Neanderthal Man, over 130,000 years ago.

How difficult is it to get a book published by a commercial publisher? Well the odds are better gambling in Las Vegas. Power and Hill surveyed over 60 literary agents. On the average these agents agreed to accept only a little more than 2 in 1000 of the authors who contacted them.

It has been estimated that 25 million people in the United States consider themselves writers and only 5% have been published anywhere. Ready for another dose of reality? Only 1% of manuscripts submitted to publishing houses are accepted for publication.

If 99% of all manuscripts submitted are rejected, by any standard, a writer whose book has been commercially published has achieved a major milestone. However you look at it, 276,649 is a lot of new titles and a lot of happy authors.

Prevent Permanent Concrete Oil Stains

New Industrial Technology Now Available For Homeowners

For Release: Immediately

Chino Hills, CA- Immediate release -- Garage floors and driveways are becoming stain free again thanks to a new product called the Abzorb Mat. Designed to keep garage floors and patio surfaces clean of permanent oil stains, the Abzorb Mat utilizes breakthrough technology never before allotted to the average home owner.

The secret to the powerful Abzorb Mat is the super absorbent polypropylene material that is bonded with a vinyl backing for extra strength. For years people have been attempting to keep blemishes out of their garage and patio areas without success until the arrival of the Abzorb Mat.

The common solution to preventing oil and other harmful fluids from hitting the garage floor for most homeowners is an old rug, or cardboard. While this might be an economical solution, often homeowners are left with stains that go directly through the rug or cardboard. Costly degreasers often do not remove the stains.

“Our Abzorb Mat is very economical because on an average it will last a homeowner three to six years.” Explains PCI Products Company partner Travis Zdrazil about the various home remedies used on the market today.

Used by industrial businesses such as warehouses, construction sites, and factories, the Abzorb Mat technology is proven to work for the dirtiest of places. Now the average homeowner is given a garage floor mat that is capable of soaking up the worst of oil, anti-freeze, and other stain leaving fluids.

“The Abzorb Mat is the best garage mat for your money, hands down. If you need a garage floor mat that will last years, and leave your garage floor clean enough to sleep on, the Abzorb Mat is the product for you” Mr. Zdrazil notes.

Abzorb Mat comes in a variety of sizes, including popular sizes 3x3, 3x5, 3x8, and 6x14. One can purchase an Abzorb Mat in a size similar to a door mat up to a size that will cover their garage wall to wall.

The Abzorb Mat is competitively priced at $19.95 for a 3x5 mat.

Abzorb Mat can be purchased online at www.cleanupstuff.com or by calling (800)869-9633. PCI Products Company

More Energy and Less Stress. How? Entrain Your Brain

Immediate Release

Lack of energy and stress are two culprits of modern day life. A packed schedule, deadlines, and a to-do list a mile long, results in a frazzled unfulfilling lifestyle. But now there's help, a new method called Mind-Optimizer is available that bypasses the conscious mind to help the subconscious mind and body change. Mind-Optimizer relies on brain entrainment, a scientifically proven method of training the mind to be more receptive to positive messages.

“We’ve all heard about the myths of subliminal messages, but they’ve been proven not work,” said Hanif Khaki, developer of mind-optimizer.com, where a complete set of CD programs to help a wide variety of behaviors, is available. “If you listen to a tape that tells you to relax or calm down, nothing’s going to change. Why not? Because your conscious mind will reject those messages.”

But Khaki explained how Mind-Optimizer is different.

It’s very simple. Mind-Optimizer bypasses your conscious mind using a proven scientific technique called “Brainwave Entrainment” to make your subconscious mind and your body want to change,” he said.

Mind-Optimizer uses clinically tested audio signals to affect change quickly and easily, working in conjunction with what scientists have discovered called "The Frequency Following Response.” This is where your brain basically hears a sound of a certain frequency, like around 5 or 10 Hz, and then your mind will quickly follow, operating at the frequency of the sound, as evidenced throughout your daily life. A common example is using upbeat music that you enjoy to brighten your day.

Optimize Your Business With Organized Email

Email can be the bane of a business owner's existence. It's a vital means of communication and a time waster. Hundreds of SPAM messages flood inboxes on a daily basis. How can a business person cope with the ever rising tide of email?

You should have a personal email address for your business that isn't posted on your website. Use that email for correspondence with potential clients and customers. The email on your website should be filtered through the use of SPAM programs to weed out the garbage before it gets to you.

Organizing your email is one of the first steps towards increasing your productivity. Don't let emails pile up in your email program. Set up folders that cover the major tasks, products, and functions of your business. If you can answer an email immediately, do so, and either delete it or send it to the appropriate folder. If the email requires some thought or research before answering, put it in a to-do-immediately folder. Every morning go through the to-do-immediately folder, send your prepared responses to the emails you've selected, remove them from the to-do file, and put them in the appropriate file.

Sent email should also be organized. Struggling to find an email that was sent three weeks ago can be a monumental task. There are software programs which can not only organize your incoming email into folders but also your sent email as well. One of these programs is E-mail Sorter Wizard. E-mail Sorter Wizard lets you sort through and organize your e-mails. Its comprehensive filing system can help manage inbox folders and sent mail. Users who are on the move, constantly receiving and sending e-mails will find the features in this add-in extremely beneficial.

Another time saver is to have responses to frequently asked questions you receive composed and saved in your word processing program. When one of those emails comes in you can simply copy and paste the answer into your response and send it quickly on its way.

Autoresponders can automatically answer those questions as well. An autoresponder is an email address that has a preset message that is automatically sent back to the sender. Autoresponders also have the benefit of capturing email addresses so you can follow up later. For example you might have a product that gets a number of questions. You can compose your FAQ response and set it up on the autoresponder. The potential customer sees the email address of the autoresponder on your website that says something like "need more information" or "have questions." They send for more information, receive the FAQ and you can follow up to make sure their questions were answered.

Organizing your email can optimize your business.
