Protesters pack Tahrir Square, dispute Morsi

CAIRO (AP) ? The same chants used against Hosni Mubarak were turned against his successor Tuesday as more than 200,000 people packed Egypt's Tahrir Square in the biggest challenge yet to Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

The massive, flag-waving throng protesting Morsi's assertion of near-absolute powers rivaled some of the largest crowds that helped drive Mubarak from office last year.

"The people want to bring down the regime!" and "erhal, erhal" ? Arabic for "leave, leave" ? rang out across the plaza, this time directed at Egypt's first freely elected president.

The protests were sparked by edicts Morsi issued last week that effectively neutralize the judiciary, the last branch of government he does not control. But they turned into a broader outpouring of anger against Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood, which opponents say have used election victories to monopolize power, squeeze out rivals and dictate a new, Islamist constitution, while doing little to solve Egypt's mounting economic and security woes.

Clashes broke out in several cities, with Morsi's opponents attacking Brotherhood offices, setting fire to at least one. Protesters and Brotherhood members pelted each other with stones and firebombs in the Nile Delta city of Mahalla el-Kobra, leaving at least 100 people injured.

"Power has exposed the Brotherhood. We discovered their true face," said Laila Salah, a housewife at the Tahrir protest who said she voted for Morsi in last summer's presidential election. After Mubarak, she said, Egyptians would no longer accept being ruled by an autocrat.

"It's like a wife whose husband was beating her and then she divorces him and becomes free," she said. "If she remarries she'll never accept another day of abuse."

Gehad el-Haddad, a senior adviser to the Brotherhood and its political party, said Morsi would not back down on his edicts. "We are not rescinding the declaration," he told The Associated Press.

That sets the stage for a drawn-out battle that could throw the nation into greater turmoil. Protest organizers have called for another mass rally Friday. If the Brotherhood responds with demonstrations of its own, as some of its leaders have hinted, it would raise the prospect of greater violence after a series of clashes between the two camps in recent days.

A tweet by the Brotherhood warned that if the opposition was able to bring out 200,000 to 300,000, "they should brace for millions in support" of Morsi.

Another flashpoint could come Sunday, when the constitutional court is to rule on whether to dissolve the assembly writing the new constitution, which is dominated by the Brotherhood and its Islamist allies. Morsi's edicts ban the courts from disbanding the panel; if the court defies him and rules anyway, it would be a direct challenge that could spill over into the streets.

"Then we are in the face of the challenge between the supreme court and the presidency," said Nasser Amin, head of the Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal Profession. "We are about to enter a serious conflict" on both the legal and street level, he said.

Morsi and his supporters say the decrees were necessary to prevent the judiciary from blocking the "revolution's goals" of a transition to democracy. The courts ? where many Mubarak-era judges still hold powerful posts ? have already disbanded the first post-Mubarak elected parliament, which was led by the Brotherhood. Now it could also take aim at the Islamist-led upper house of parliament.

Morsi's decrees ban the judiciary from doing so and grant his decisions immunity from judicial review. Morsi also gave himself sweeping powers to prevent threats to the revolution, stability or state institutions, which critics say are tantamount to emergency laws. These powers are to remain in effect until the constitution is approved and parliamentary elections are held, not likely before spring 2013.

Opponents say the decrees turn Morsi ? who narrowly won last summer's election with just over 50 percent of the vote ? into a new dictator, given that he holds not only executive but also legislative powers, after the lower house of parliament was dissolved.

Tuesday's turnout was an unprecedented show of strength by the mainly liberal and secular opposition, which has been divided and uncertain amid the rise to power of the Brotherhood over the past year. The crowds were of all stripes, including many first-time protesters.

"Suddenly Morsi is issuing laws and becoming the absolute ruler, holding all powers in his hands," said Mona Sadek, a 31-year-old engineering graduate who wears the Islamic veil, a hallmark of piety. "Our revolt against the decrees became a protest against the Brotherhood as well."

"The Brotherhood hijacked the revolution," agreed Raafat Magdi, an engineer who was among a crowd of some 10,000 marching from the Cairo district of Shubra to Tahrir to the beat of drums and chants against the Brotherhood. Reform leader Mohammed ElBaradei led the march.

"People woke up to (Morsi's) mistakes, and in any new elections they will get no votes," Magdi said.

Many in the crowd said they were determined to push ahead with the protests until Morsi retreats. A major concern was that Islamists would use the decree's protection of the constitutional assembly to drive through their vision for the next charter, with a heavy emphasis on implementing Shariah, or Islamic law. The assembly has been plagued with controversy, and more than two dozen of its 100 members have quit in recent days to protest Islamist control.

"Next Friday will be decisive," protester Islam Bayoumi said of the upcoming rally. "If people maintain the same pressure and come in large numbers, they could manage to press the president and rescue the constitution."

A fellow protester, Saad Salem Nada, said of Morsi: "I am a Muslim and he made me hate Muslims because of the dictatorship in the name of religion. In the past, we had one Mubarak. Now we have hundreds."

Even as the crowds swelled in Tahrir, clashes erupted nearby between several hundred protesters throwing stones and police firing tear gas on a street leading to the U.S. Embassy. Clouds of tear gas hung over the area, where clashes have broken out for several days, fueled by anger over police abuses.

A photographer working for the AP, Ahmed Gomaa, was beaten by stick-wielding police while covering the clashes. Police took his equipment and Gomaa was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Rival rallies by Morsi opponents and supporters turned into brief clashes in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, where anti-Morsi protesters broke into the local office of the Muslim Brotherhood, throwing furniture out the windows and trying unsuccessfully to set fire to it. Protesters also set fire to Brotherhood offices in the city of Mansoura.

Morsi's supporters canceled a massive rally planned for Tuesday in Cairo, citing the need to "defuse tension." Morsi's supporters say more than a dozen of their offices have been ransacked or set ablaze since Friday. Some 5,000 demonstrated in the southern city of Assiut in support of Morsi's decrees, according to witnesses there.

So far, there has been little sign of a compromise. On Monday, Morsi met with the nation's top judges and tried to win their acceptance of his decrees. But the move was dismissed by many in the opposition and the judiciary as providing no real concessions.

Saad Emara, a senior Muslim Brotherhood member, said Morsi will not make any concessions, especially after the surge of violence and assaults on Brotherhood offices.

Emara accused the opposition "of resorting to violence with a political cover," claiming that former ruling party and Mubarak-era businessmen were hiring thugs to attack Brotherhood offices with the opposition's blessing.

"The story now is that the civilian forces are playing with fire. This is a dangerous scene."

Greece debt relief lies ahead, despite latest eurozone - Financial Post

BRUSSELS ? Within minutes of eurozone finance ministers reaching a deal to cut Greece?s debt late on Monday, commentators on Twitter were dismissing it as another exercise in ?kicking the can down the road?.

To an extent that is true. Under the agreement, the euro zone and the International Monetary Fund will give Greece two more years to reach its budget goals and will find another 44-billion euros (US$57-billion) to keep the country afloat in the meantime.

But while a degree of can-kicking may be going on, there was a critical element in Monday night?s deal that goes a lot further than any other step taken so far in the debt crisis to get Greece back on its feet.

We will, if need be, consider further measures for the reduction of the total debt

Implicit was an understanding that Greece will undergo some form of official-sector debt restructuring ? with eurozone countries forgiving a portion of Greece?s debt ? at some point in the future, the sort of last-ditch measure usually reserved for impoverished states in Africa and Latin America.

At a news conference in the early hours of Tuesday, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble came closer than he has ever done before to publicly acknowledging that creditors face such an eventuality ? a move that will be very hard for the likes of Germany, Finland, Austria and the Netherlands to take.

?When Greece has achieved, or is set to achieve, a primary surplus and fulfilled all of its conditions, we will, if need be, consider further measures for the reduction of the total debt,? he said, looking weary after 13 hours of negotiations.

The timing and reference to a primary surplus are important.

The Greek economy is forecast to return to growth during 2014 and to achieve a primary budget surplus ? the balance before deducting the cost of debt financing ? of 4.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2016.

By the end of that year, the EU-IMF assistance program should be over and Greece will in theory be on its own, financing itself in the financial markets in the normal way.

Monday night?s deal took care of the extra financing Greece will need between 2014 and 2016 and set out a series of steps the eurozone and Greece will take to get its debt level down from around 190% of GDP next year to 124% by 2020.

But what it didn?t set out in precise detail is how Greek debt will go on falling, from 124% of GDP in 2020 to 110% in 2022 and 88% in 2030, as agreed during the talks.

And it didn?t say how Greece is expected to win back market confidence in 2016 even though its debt level that year is still expected to be 175% of GDP.

The answer is a combination of lower interest rates and longer maturities being applied to loans to Greece, Athens paying down more of its own debt thanks to growth and the potential for eurozone states to write down their loans.

?Euro area member states will consider further measures and assistance, including lower co-financing in structural funds and/or a further rate reduction in the Greek loan facility if necessary,? said Olli Rehn, the commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, again hinting at the possibility of a more fundamental overhaul of debt at some future point.

A European Union official closely involved in the discussions on Greece said there was a general unwillingness among eurozone countries to acknowledge that they may have to forgive some of the 127-billion euros they have so far lent to Greece, even if all of them know the issue can?t be avoided forever.

In order to make Greece?s debt sustainable in the long term, the IMF has determined that it must be cut to around 120% by 2020 and 110% by 2022. But there is no guarantee those levels will be sustainable on those dates.

As a result, the prospect of a debt writedown has to remain, especially as the eurozone countries, who will soon be responsible for around three quarters of all Greek debt, have said time and again that they will do what is necessary to keep Greece afloat and in the euro zone.

The EU official said the best option would be for eurozone countries to bite the bullet and write down 40-50 billion euros of loans to Greece in 2016 or shortly afterwards, so that its debt-to-GDP ratio is aggressively reduced and the country can more easily return to financial markets.

But that is unlikely to happen, since no member state wants to write down any Greek debt, the cost of which would be born by taxpayers. Each state will do everything possible to ensure that any writedown, if it must happen, is as small as possible.

?If you were really going to help Greece, you?d write off enough debt to get the ratio down to 60% of GDP, which is a decently sustainable level,? the official said. ?But that?s never going to happen. No one?s going to buy that.?

Instead, the possibility of debt forgiveness will hang over the eurozone for the next four years and will, whether countries like it or not, have to be tackled at some point.

How the 'Spiritual Not Religious' Gospel Has Spread - Care2 News ...

Kit B. (294)

Sunday November 25, 2012, 9:27 am ( Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com/djgis) You can call them ?unaffiliated,? as in a recent Pew poll, or ?nones? -- or even just ?not very religious.? A new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute divides this group further (and somewhat counterintuitively) into ?unattached,? ?atheists/agnostics,? and ?seculars.? But whatever you call them, this ever-growing cohort of unchurched Americans makes up, at 23 percent, the single largest segment of Barack Obama?s ?religious coalition? (compared to the 37 percent of white evangelicals who support Mitt Romney). While we have yet to see a ?Seculars for Obama? bumper sticker, the unaffliated are clearly having a moment. Media analysis, however, has not gone very deep -- there is a story here that goes beyond names and numbers. Recent sociological work from Courtney Bender, Christian Smith, and others does help us understand who the current crop of unaffiliated are and what they do and believe. Yet we have precious little historical understanding of this critical and growing demographic. What are their roots? What religious, cultural, economic, demographic, and political processes shaped their sensibilities, habits, and makeup? In order to understand these still-believing ?nones,? we need to understand that much of the religious dynamism in the United States happens outside the church walls, and has for some time now. The ?rise of the nones? is but the latest phase in the long transformation of religion into what we now commonly call ?spirituality.? In my class on ?Spirituality in America? at the University of Virginia, we use Leigh Schmidt?s pathbreaking Restless Souls to trace this phenomenon over two centuries, from Ralph Waldo Emerson?s break with New England Unitarianism in the 1830s to the multibillion dollar spirituality industry of today. Spirituality can mean many things, of course, and the language of spirituality is used by traditional religious adherents as well as the religiously unaffiliated. But only the ?nones? have made it into a clich?: ?spiritual but not religious.? The history of American spirituality reveals that our commonplace understanding of spirituality?as the individual, experiential dimension of human encounter with the sacred?arose from the clash of American Protestantism with the forces of modern life in the nineteenth century. While religious conservatives fought to stem the tide, giving rise to fundamentalism, religious liberals adapted their faith to modernity, often by discarding orthodoxies in favor of Darwinism, psychology, and comparative religions. The majority of today?s religious ?nones? -- those who claim no religion but still embrace spirituality -- are engaged in the same task of renovating their faith for a new historical moment. And typically, they draw from this same liberal religious toolkit. Today?s unaffiliated, like the liberals of previous generations, typically shun dogma and creed in favor of a faith that is practical, psychologically attuned, ecumenical -- even cosmopolitan -- and ethically oriented. This liberal spirituality, as it has evolved over time, has been deeply entwined with media-oriented consumerism. Of course Americans of all religious varieties have been deeply influenced by consumerism, but media and markets have particularly shaped the religious lives of those without formal institutional or community ties. The religiously unaffiliated might not attend services, but they ?do? their religion in many other ways: they watch religion on TV and listen to it on the radio; find inspiration on the web; attend retreats, seminars, workshops, and classes; buy candles and statues, bumper stickers and yoga pants; take spiritually motivated trips; and, perhaps most significantly, buy and read books. Since the 1920s, when the major New York trade presses first started offering nonsectarian religious books in significant numbers, books have been the most important conduit for spreading the ?spiritual but not religious? gospel. This dependency on the consumer marketplace, and especially books, has had significant consequences for the religious lives of all Americans, especially the unaffiliated. First, it has enhanced the tendencies within American religion toward a therapeutic understanding of the spiritual life. The profit-oriented commercial presses that came to dominate religious publishing naturally pursued the largest market possible for their goods, and seized on the non-creedal, nonsectarian, and psychologically modern forms of faith advanced by religious liberals as a common American religious vernacular. These trends have only accelerated from the 1920s to the present, such that now the line between religion and self-help disappears in the spirituality section of Barnes & Noble. Second, spiritual consumerism has fostered a robust cosmopolitanism. Books allow readers entry into previously unimaginable religious worlds. Since trade presses entered the religion game with vigor, the lines of denomination and tradition have mattered less and less. The political and moral imperatives of World War II provided the greatest stimulus to such interfaith reading, and before long even the Protestant-Catholic-Jew formulation of the era could not contain American readers. What matters to the unaffiliated is not imprimatur but inspiration. The Notre Dame sociologist Christian Smith has observed, ?Liberal Protestantism?s organizational decline has been accompanied by and is in part arguably the consequence of the fact that liberal Protestantism has won a decisive, larger cultural victory.? The ?cultural victory? Smith and others write about happened not because more Americans joined liberal churches, in other words, but because liberal religious values and sensibilities became more and more culturally normative. And no single cultural force has been more significant to this profound religious shift than the unabashed consumerism of the religious book business in the twentieth century. Even as religious affiliations decline, religious books sales continue to rise, as they have steadily for more than a half century. In this ultimate spiritual marketplace, American religion displays its full shape-shifting vitality. **** by: Matthew S.

I'll stick with quantum physics. BTW Christian, your Jesus said that the law and the prophets could be summed up in two commandments. Those were to love your neighbor as yourself; to do unto others as you would have it done to you. Since Muslims consider Iesu a prophet they should heed his words as well. The resonance you create in turn creates the reality you will inherit.

And typically, they draw from this same liberal religious toolkit. Today?s unaffiliated, like the liberals of previous generations, typically shun dogma and creed in favor of a faith that is practical, psychologically attuned, ecumenical -- even cosmopolitan -- and ethically oriented." <p>Amusing. Interesting. Both and more. I was raised Swedish Lutheran, whatever that is, in a small country church that my mother's family built. I read before grade school and my first book was a large children's bible, we are talking several hundred pages, that I read over and over again. My maternal grandmother and mother were Sunday School teachers. I was the kid with the awkward questions because as I read that book things that made no sense to me just sort of popped out at me, as they do in any other reading. There were so many inconsistencies and I'd ask about them in classes. It is why I could never be a literal fundamentalist nor do I understand how anyone else could be either. Just begin at the beginning. There were Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel and was exiled with his wife. His who? Where did SHE come from? It wasn't long before I was forbidden to ask questions in Sunday School classes. :^) </p><p>But that didn't mean the questions stopped. For one thing, there is too much "order" in the natural world for me to believe it simply an accident. I mean, how is it that pi (an infinite number) r squared ALWAYS yield the exact circumference of any size finite circle? As I grew I read the real thing, cover to cover, word for word, several times. Some great stories but they don't hold together for an inquisitive mind. But, at the same time, I always "knew" there was something more. I went through philosophy, history, astronomy but I couldn't sell atheism to myself either. I delved into New Age writings and authors, found more truth, for me, there, but still notthing that sated me, explained my own life to me. Like I said, I felt, knew there was something more. And as my page explains, I found that, not easily, but I did. Something that works for me. Maybe that is the journey we all come here to have. I've had three completely inexplicable things happen in my life that fuel the "knowing" and I've a website that explains that - it is there to find another who has experienced what I did - and in 14 years of specific searching I have yet to find even one, though it gets a ton of traffic. So I introduced myself here on my profile as "spiritual, not religious in any sense". And it turns in THAT, I am not alone. I don't think that an accident either but more of an evolution. I guess I think "religion" is evolving too. Though some, as always, are kicking up their heels and dragging their feet, the fundamentalists who think the world was formed in 6 days, 6,000 years ago and that humans and dinosaurs coexisted for example. They are a step, or several thousand, behind the truth of who we are and what we are doing here. I think. </p><p>That's the beauty of freedom though - we can all think for ourselves, formulate our own truth, our own ethos and live by the covenants we make with ourselves. Personally, I like to start with one medicine thinks it discovered, but I think existed before the Universe did, First, Do No Harm - from there we are on our own. I believe in the inherent goodness of humanity and marvel at the ease with which some selfish men, those who founded all religions and wrote the manuals as well, persuaded so many of us that only they had the truth or the ability to speak to our creator. I think life, the potential for it, is hardcoded into every particle in existence in this relative universe, we all were, in truth, first cooked in a star, every atom of our being. So, yes, I believe there is a Creator, but not one who hates, orders killings, or really does anything but give us the gift of life and then sets us free like a mama bird to find our way in this universe. I believe we have as many opportunities as we wish in an infinite existence to experience all that is possible to experience here. Happy and sad. How can we know one without knowing the other? That is one of the ideas I came across in my readings - through a couple books, the infinite is where we come from, infinity is always expressed as a triune truth, sort of that circle I guess, but here in the relative universe, we come veiled, one part of us hidden from the other two in order that we might have this experience as it is not as actors on a stage, because there is no script and we are not actors. We are spirits having a physical experience. In the relative universe we know what things are at last partially by what they are not. Hot - cold, for instance, we know the extremes and we can measure the gradients between them on a straight line, not an infinite circle, but two extremes with steps between them, love-hate, here-there, you-me. Like that. But, still I know there is more, there is a curtain behind which we cannot see from here, but behind which we go when we leave here. This satisfies my yearning, explains much of my life, and leaves me spiritual, not religious. :^) </p> <p> <span class="report-message">Why is this inappropriate? </span><br/><textarea id="abuse_msg-3956363" name="abuse_msg-3956363"/><br/><button onclick="javascript: report_abuse(3956363, document.getElementById('abuse_msg-3956363').value); ">Send Report</button> <button onclick="javascript: hide_abuse_form('report-3956363'); ">Cancel</button> </p> <p>Your report has been submitted to Customer Service.

He understands the main shareholder's desire to become head of the company," she said.</p> <p> Potanin now owns 28 percent of Norilsk, which has a market value of nearly $28 billion. After the buybacks 17 percent of its equity is now held in treasury and the main shareholders have agreed to cancel 10 percent of that by next April.</p> <p> Two sources familiar with the shareholder discussions said Abramovich may buy the remainder of the treasury stock, equivalent to a 7 percent stake before the stock cancellation and nearly 7.8 percent afterwards.</p> <p> The two sides want to bridge their differences before a London arbitration court opens hearings next week into a case dating back to 2010 in which Deripaska accuses Interros of reneging on deal to run Norilsk in the interests of all shareholders - although sources say a full agreement is unlikely before then.</p> <p> Shares in Norilsk fell by 1 percent to 4,632 roubles, extending their year-to-date decline to 6.6 percent. In Hong Kong, RUSAL's shares gained by 2.7 percent to HK$4.62, narrowing their 2012 losses to 6.5 percent.</p> <p> (Reporting by Polina Devitt; Editing by Douglas Busvine and Sophie Walker)</p><p>Source: <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/abramovich-may-buy-stake-norilsk-peace-plan-sources-100757776--sector.html">http://news.yahoo.com/abramovich-may-buy-stake-norilsk-peace-plan-sources-100757776--sector.html</a></p><p><a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=204368416539468659603.0004cf56a0a8bdb1ffcb2">bloom box</a> <a href="http://www.trade-pals.com/node/49073">fat tuesday</a> <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216059054439325625898.0004cf3a922617585f12f&msa=0&ll=40.880191,-73.875809&spn=0.001144,0.002642&iwloc=0004cf3a922b956783ee6">obama sweet home chicago</a> <a href="http://www.go2album.com/pg/profile/deepcarpetcleaning">accenture match play</a> <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=202629529145806252662.0004cf5531f341754129b&msa=0&ll=34.461105,-118.533525&spn=0.001247,0.002642">george washington carver</a> <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=202853295325683901456.0004cf555da864e573890&msa=0&ll=34.461253,-118.533525&spn=0.001247,0.002642&iwloc=0004cf555dad1949df03b">king cake</a> <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216900768354846432431.0004cf55deb00c1f4bcdd&msa=0&ll=34.461253,-118.533525&spn=0.001247,0.002642&iwloc=0004cf55deb538c61f4db">mardi gras</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10698900723547580293' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10698900723547580293' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>bairfloyd19</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://oratorio-palladium.blogspot.com/2012/11/abramovich-may-buy-stake-in-norilsk.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://oratorio-palladium.blogspot.com/2012/11/abramovich-may-buy-stake-in-norilsk.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-11-26T07:20:00-08:00'>7:20 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://oratorio-palladium.blogspot.com/2012/11/abramovich-may-buy-stake-in-norilsk.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-875860352'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5681439362128550131&postID=8011934767639682168&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5681439362128550131&postID=8011934767639682168&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5681439362128550131&postID=8011934767639682168&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

I have been married for over 11 years to my best friend. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures".?If you didn't know already - I'm a Heart Mom. Our oldest has a?congenital?heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He?basically?has half a heart. We even started a charity called Save Lives Save Money?to help other heart families in their time of need. Where couponers give back to help pay for basic needs of families in need.I was raised on a small dairy farm. I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, and coupon shop, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch recipes and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet. You can follow our weekly Menu Plan?to see how you can coupon and eat healthy at the same time!I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget.

Think about it, you have a real estate business.? You have built it up out of nothing and your reputation is squeaky clean. You are your own brand. People respect you and they know that you work with integrity and that you care about your customers. But this knowledge is all locally based, it?s restricted to a small pool of people but what if you could increase this awareness ? not just to nearby counties but across the globe?</p> <p>?</p> <p>You may be wondering what benefits there could be at being known globally but there are other real estate related products that could be sold once you establish yourself as an expert in the field. Getting your website optimized so that it attracts plenty of visitors is your key goal in the first instance however. You can have the best products, be the best salesperson and have the best intent but if no-one knows about your business, then you will not make any money or receive job satisfaction either.</p> <p>?</p> <p>Let?s look at SEO. This is crucial to your online business. If you have not heard of the term before, it means Search Engine Optimization and simply means that you make sure your website is as good as it can be so that if any potential customer types relevant keywords into the search field ? for example ? Real Estate Agents + ?North England, they will find the most popular real estate agents listed in that area. You probably use keywords all the time when you take on your own searches but may not have known the relevance.</p> <p>?</p> <p>With this in mind, how can you improve your own search engine rankings?</p> <p>?</p> <ol start="1"><li>Create a blog. Blog or blogging means ?weblog? and it?s an online journal/diary in principle. You add a blog to your website and it enables you to talk directly to your visitors in a much more personable tone than you would use generally on your website. A blog allows you to reach out to your visitors and to become visible as the person behind the website. They can get to know you through your writing and if you make your blogs interesting enough, they will keep coming back to read more.</li> <li>Produce high-quality content for your website and do so on a regular basis. The more you can add to your website each week, the better your site will rank. Articles should be key worded (using SEO principles) but not stuffed with keywords as this will detract from the readability of the article. Keywords should be used for all content including your blog posts but keep it simple.</li> <li>Research your keywords wisely and use phrases or words that are unique. You also need to think about what your customers will search for when they are looking for a real estate service and try to emulate the same keywords.</li> <li>Make sure you have social media links on your website too. If people like your article they may well share it with their friends and family and your blog posts or articles can seriously go viral. Don?t? forget to share your own articles or posts with your social media friends too.</li> <li>Create an environment that is conducive to your visitors asking questions. Providing a welcoming and open environment like this is a real positive. Make sure you have a contact us button so they can email you direct.</li> <li>Set up a newsletter so that you can capture email addresses. You can produce a weekly or monthly newsletter and use this to redirect the reader back to your website or to offer promotions, competitions or just for product launches.</li> </ol><p>?</p> <p>Having a website is an excellent resource for creating new sales and for forging new contacts. Just make sure your website is as efficient and interesting as possible. Think quality content, regular updates and provide a chance for visitors to contact you for further information.</p><p>Source: <a href="http://agentdeals.net/using-technology-to-promote-your-business">http://agentdeals.net/using-technology-to-promote-your-business</a></p><p><a href="http://www.trivok.com/company/carpet-cleaning-sumner_14022138.html">cincinnati bengals</a> <a href="http://www.worldsings.com/user/blogs/view/name_carpetcompanies/id_79329/">bengals</a> <a href="http://totalblacktv.com/myview/uprofile.php?UID=27808">the stand</a> <a href="http://airductcleaningservicesantamonica.quebecblogue.com/2012/11/21/how-to-avoid-air-duct-cleaning-scams/">josh mcdaniels</a> <a href="http://carpetmachinecleaning.wallinside.com/">cotton bowl</a> <a href="http://www.zoji.com/1204129/events/2407864">wizards of waverly place</a> <a href="http://babykick.com/m/groups/view/Starting-a-Carpet-Cleaning-Company">cedric benson</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10698900723547580293' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10698900723547580293' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>bairfloyd19</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://oratorio-palladium.blogspot.com/2012/11/using-technology-to-promote-your.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://oratorio-palladium.blogspot.com/2012/11/using-technology-to-promote-your.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-11-22T00:57:00-08:00'>12:57 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://oratorio-palladium.blogspot.com/2012/11/using-technology-to-promote-your.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-875860352'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5681439362128550131&postID=1731509555987418989&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5681439362128550131&postID=1731509555987418989&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5681439362128550131&postID=1731509555987418989&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Crossfit, <strong>P90x</strong>, <strong>Zumba</strong>, spinning and yoga claimed the 2000s. <strong>The Atkins Diet</strong>, Soloflex, <strong>Tae bo</strong> and the release of fitness DVDs claimed the 90s (raise your hand if you still have one or two tapes in your arsenal). And when it comes to the 80s it was almost more about the style than the actual exercises.</p> <p>Side ponies, bright pastel spandex and scrunchy socks reigned supreme. And so did trampoline workouts, Suzanne Somers and <strong>Jane Fonda</strong>, who released her first workout video in 1982 titled ?Jane Fonda?s Workout.? The video was so well received it sold more than 1 million copies! That?s a lot of workout tapes and spandex, even for the 80s.</p> <p>Though we have a few 90s-born babies in our office, the majority of our staff was born in the 1980s, meaning we have a personal fondness for fitness from that era (myself included). So this week?s Saturday Morning Drill channels that decade with workout moves that require no equipment and tone your whole body. The best part? It?s an absolute blast.
