			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reality network marketing is really just a type of viral marketing? MLM and Viral Marketing are both powerful ways of levering your marketing efforts. It&#8217;s an essential marketing technique.</p>
<p>I admit it. The term viral marketing is offensive to some people. Call yourself a Viral Marketer and people will take two steps back. I would. Do they have a vaccine for that yet? you wonder. A sinister thing, the simple virus is fraught with doom, not quite dead yet not fully alive, it exists in that nether genre somewhere between disaster movies and horror flicks.</p>
<p>But you have to admire the virus. It has a way of living in secrecy until it is so numerous that it wins by the sheer weight of numbers. It piggybacks on other hosts and uses their resources to increase it&#8217;s tribe. And in the right environment, it grows exponentially. A virus don&#8217;t even have to mate &#8212; it just replicates, again and again with geometrically increasing power, doubling with each iteration and in a few short generations, a virus population can explode.</p>
<p>What does a virus have to do with network marketing? Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message&#8217;s exposure and influence. Like viruses, such strategies take advantage of rapid multiplication to explode the message to thousands, and if done correctly, to millions.</p>
<p>Off the Internet, viral marketing has been referred to as word-of-mouth, creating a buzz, leveraging the media, network marketing. But on the Internet, for better or worse, it&#8217;s called viral marketing. Many have attempted to rename it, to somehow domesticate and tame it, I won&#8217;t even try. The term viral marketing has stuck and is here to stay. </p>
<p>Here are a few tips and suggestions to begin to create your own viral marketing explosion in your network marketing business.</p>
<p>Give away valuable products or services<br />
Provide a means for effortless transfer to others<br />
Make sure it scales easily from small to very large<br />
Use common motivations and behaviors to grap attention<br />
Utilize existing communication networks<br />
Take advantage of others&#8217; resources and create partnerships</p>
<p>Watch your email for the next couple of weeks as I take these tips and suggestions and one by one, break them down and go into detail about how to you can use that specific method in your MLM business.  To make sure you get the full report make sure you to go the <a href="http://www.trillionairemarketer.com" title="http://www.trillionairemarketer.com" target="_blank">www.trillionairemarketer.com</a>, click on the network marketing tab at the top to request the free reports.</p>
<p>I believe the strength of a business or organization lies within the development of its people. My mission and goal is to identify and develop the type of education necessary to provide individuals with the tools and structure to become continuous learners.  I believes this education sets the foundation for individuals to make strategic goals and to remain on the path to the accomplishment of those goals.  <a href="http://www.trillionairemarketer.com" title="http://www.trillionairemarketer.com" target="_blank">www.trillionairemarketer.com</a> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fundraiser 1.0 is taking the country by storm. This innovative way of raising money has come just in the nick of time. The economy is down, jobs are being lost and companies are closing. Over 500,000 people go online to search for capital needed for a business or another venture on a daily basis. </p>
<p>The software is already set up with the option of choosing the level needed. The level is chosen according to the amount of money being sought. Being shown how to raise the amount needed from others searching online for capital is what this software is all about. The fundraiser program is not just for those who own a business or for organizations. It can be a way of raising money for personal use as well. </p>
<p>Fees for Fundraiser 1.0 </p>
<p>Purchasing a level requires a startup fee of $5. This goes to the fund raiser who refers the new enrollee. The instructions are provided and after a confirmation email is sent, accessing this software is a matter of using the registration code to set up the account. An email is sent to the account holder with the registration code and selection is made as to the amount to be earned. Examples of the fee for the needed amount to be raised are as follows: </p>
<p>* Level 1 - $5 fee to raise up to $4,600<br />
* Level 2 -$15 fee to raise up to $6,900<br />
* Level 3 - $25 fee to raise up to $9,200<br />
* Level 4 - $50 fee to raise up to $ 11,500<br />
* Level 9 - $27,600 fee to raise up to $175,000 </p>
<p>There is no software to download. Fundraiser 1.0 is software which is intranet based. A member of the Internet Trade Bureau since October 2006, they have no unresolved complaints and are considered a member in good standing. </p>
<p>The Four Levels of Fundraiser 1.0 </p>
<p>There are four levels from which to choose. The level you choose determines the payment made. That level becomes the percentage of all transactions from affiliate partners that the enrollee will receive. With marketing and advertising there will be payment notifications sent. The network that is promoted through advertising and marketing will grow. </p>
<p>When this happens interest is earned from the network which is sent to the original purchaser. If there are more than 50 in the network, transactions used by them will be furnished to the original purchaser. This is not a pyramid scheme, cash gifting or multi-level marketing. The funding comes directly from the enrollees sales. </p>
<p>The money is raised through entrepreneurs who search web browsers, classifieds and forums looking for the capital needed. Created by Bedzzz Inn, Inc., a bedding company the concept was originally created to raise capital for their business. Bedzzz Inn, Inc. raised $92, 865 in 90 days using this software in September 2006. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The question is How decisive is a href=http://www.end925.biz/debt-mangement/ title=debt managementdebt management/a<br />
 disregardless how small or big the total that you have incurred or owe as your debt, it is exceedingly stressful to flirt with it and not easy not contemplate it. This is especially sure if you are only trying to make ends meet on low income and you feel at lost every time a due date for you to pay up is near. You cannot fly the coop from your debts. And you must not do that. If you are adult enough to be given the opportunity to be loan or acquire certain amount, you must also think like an adult in paying it up. Some times its not easy as circumstances can change.</p>
<p>The first thing that you have to think when you are faced with debts is that you are going to pay for that no matter what. There are many ways for you to win that successfully. You can do that even if you think like you have a limited income or that the economy is too bad. All it takes is some planning and real implementation of such plan.</p>
<p>The Planning Stage</p>
<p>It all starts here. When you already are on this mindset, you must not let anything to pull you away or trouble you. Your debts must not control your life. And this will be possible if you will be able to control your debts. Here are the steps on how to go about that.</p>
<p>1. Pull together all the bills that you ought to pay and compute how much are your overall debt. This way, you will be able to see if the amount has already gotten too big for comfort or you can still pay up in one or two gives.</p>
<p>2. Look at the money that is coming into the household on a monthly basis. If you are the one in charge of a href=http://www.end925.biz/debt-mangement/ title=budgetingbudgeting,/a<br />
you must allocate wisely. Make sure that you allot a good amount with the purpose of paying up your debts. If that will be the steady portion for such purpose, you can already have an idea of until when before you can complete all the payments.</p>
<p>3. Do not add up on your debts as much as possible. If you have been too dependent with your credit cards to buy things that you don&#8217;t really need, it is time to consider your lifestyle. Live according to your means. Use the credit cards for emergency purposes only. You may think that these credit cards make your life easy by agreeing to pay for whatever you want on installment basis, think again.</p>
<p>The prospect is too tempting that most of the time you end up with worthless acquisitions. So rethink your spending habits. Focus on the payment process and how are you going to surpass such before you even think about swiping your credit card at your best loved mall.</p>
<p>4. You must stick to the plan. This means that you no longer have to update yourself when the next sale of your favorite fashion store will be. If buying shoes can be done at a latter time, then it means that this is not important at the moment. You are in the process of concentrate on important matters. Follow your plans on how to pay for your debts religiously.</p>
<p>5. If you think that you require some help in order to through your goals, you can talk with the companies that you owe money from. You can tell them your debt management plans and means on how you will be able to pay up for your debts. You can ask them if that can be done and if they are willing to stop putting interests on to your debts. This way, it will be easier for you to focus on the payment, specially if you will be enlightened that it is possible to get out from the disarray in time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A dieter should grab hold of any helpful advice he or she can gain access to. Although most of the tips on dieting is a dime a dozen, there are a chosen few that can really provide significant results. As a person on a weight loss mission, you should consider applying any methods to help you lose those extra 10 pounds easily on your daily diet routine.</p>
<p>Use a Mirror When Eating</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean that you should hold a mirror while you are munching your dinner. You should place a mirror in front of your dining table or anywhere you can see yourself easily whenever you eat. Some studies reveal that people who constantly see themselves eat slash their food consumption to as much as one-third of their usual eating habits.</p>
<p>Seeing yourself eat can have a significant reaction to the brain who has been set for a specific goal. This would help remind yourself the reason why you are trying to lose weight in the first place.</p>
<p>Put More Vegetables on Your Plate</p>
<p>Seeing a full plate can definitely help you enjoy the meal more. However, filling your plate with unhealthy foods is not the right way to lose weight. Instead of putting too much meat on your dinner plate, bulk up your meal by replacing them with vegetables. Choosing vegetables that can take more space of the plate, like cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes and carrots, is definitely helpful in creating a full plate.</p>
<p>Eat Water-Rich Vegetables</p>
<p>There are studies showing that eating more vegetables that are rich in water can help reduce your daily calorie consumption. Such vegetables that you should think about eating everyday are cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes and more. You can also opt for salads and soups instead of eating solid foods to help your body lose weight faster. Although these foods don&#8217;t have the same advantage as water, they can still do the trick in keeping your stomach full for a longer period.</p>
<p>Color Instead of White</p>
<p>It has been found that white foods have the tendency to cause the body to gain more weight. Although it is unhealthy not to eat carbohydrates, lessening your daily consumption is advisable. Also, try not to consume food that are rich in white sugar and flour, which can definitely ruin your blood sugar levels thus causing weight gain instead of weight loss.</p>
<p>If you are fond of eating rice, choose the brown variant, which is healthier than the white one. Whole wheat breads and cereals are also very helpful in fending off weight gain and promoting healthy weight loss.</p>
<p>Eat Most of Your Meals At Home</p>
<p>This is the time for you to prepare and eat your food at home. You must remember not to eat outside regularly. Eating your food at the comfort of your own home can help you thoroughly monitor the food you consume. You just don&#8217;t know what they put on those restaurant foods.</p>
<p>Take Time Chewing Your Food</p>
<p>Eating hastily can cause bloating and gas, this is a common truth. On the contrary, eating slowly promotes healthy digestion. Don&#8217;t depend on your stomach to do all the hard work. Chew your food slowly. Taking some time to chew is definitely helpful in proper nutrient absorption. Furthermore, this allows your brain to tell you accurately that you are full and no longer need food.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before mainstream principles such as “funded proposals” and “attraction marketing” made its participants millions of dollars online, there existed only a vision for the future.</p>
<p>So, as the next generation of savvy entrepreneurs look to what the future holds for this industry, a new vision is being heralded by one man as Web 3.0 Social Profit Streams.</p>
<p>Bob DeCecco cites the “Blue Ocean Strategy” published by the Harvard business review as the next opportunity to capitalize on what corporate entities have yet to realize.</p>
<p>By harnessing the viral power of current media, and monetizing the enormity of the social networking communities, a vehicle has been devised to rapidly grow any existing business on or offline.</p>
<p>Following in the footsteps of pioneering examples such as: Ebay  Cirque Du Soleil, coupled with recent events such as Ashton Kutcher&#8217;s Twitter massacre of CNN. Along with Susan Boyle&#8217;s Britain&#8217;s Got Talent receiving over 50 million views in 3 weeks, the infrastructure is already in place, yet remains to be implemented/monetized industry wide.</p>
<p>By providing a professional environment that appeals to the masses, and trains people how to grow their skill sets, and lists, the framework is in place to shed the negative connotations commonly associated with this industry.</p>
<p>More importantly, business men and women now have a comprehensive platform that equips them with the tools, communication systems, and networking capabilities, to create massive awareness of any product or service they choose to promote.</p>
<p>The founders of Web 3.0 Social Profit Streams have termed this vehicle, the TRAFFICplan.</p>
<p>This bleeding edge approach is designed to virally build any income stream by incentivizing the massive untapped market space (Blue Ocean) through a professional, safe, environment of value based, free training.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Presented By: a href=http://www.thegrowguide.comThe Grow Guide/a</p>
<p>Beginner&#8217;s Guide</p>
<p>Introduction:</p>
<p>     Growing  marijuana  indoors  is fast  becoming  an  American Pastime.   The reasons are varied.   With the increased interest and experimentation in house plant cultivation, it was inevitable that people would apply their knowledge of plant care to growing  marijuana.   Many  of those who occasionally like to light up a joint may find it difficult to locate a source or are hesitant to deal with a perhaps unsavory element of  society  in  procuring their grass.   There is, of course, the criminal aspect of buying or  selling  grass;   Growing  marijuana is just  as  illegal  as buying,  selling, or smoking it, but growing is something you can do  in the privacy of your own home without having to  deal  with someone  you don&#8217;t know or trust.   The best reason  for  growing your own is the enjoyment you will get out of watching those tiny little  seeds you picked out of you stash sprout and become  some of the most lovely and lush of all house plants.</p>
<p>Anyone Can Do It</p>
<p>     Even  if  you haven&#8217;t had any prior experience  with  growing plants in you home, you can have a successful crop of marijuana by  following the simple directions in this pamphlet.  If you have had  problems in the past with marijuana cultivation,  you may find the solutions  in the following chapters.   Growing a marijuana  plant involves four basic steps: </p>
<p>1.   Get the seeds.   If you don&#8217;t already have some, you can ask your friends to save you seeds out of any good grass they may come across.  You&#8217;ll find that lots of people already have a seed collection of some sort and are willing to part with  a few  prime  seeds  in  exchange for  some  of  the  finished product.</p>
<p>2.   Germinate the seeds.   You can simply drop a seed into moist soil,  but  by germinating the seeds first you can  be  sure that  the seed will indeed produce a  plant.   To  germinate seeds,  place a group of them between about six moist  paper towels, or in the pores of a moist sponge.  Leave the towels or  sponge  moist  but not soaking  wet.   Some  seeds  will germinate in 24 hours while others may take several days  or even a week.</p>
<p>3.   Plant the sprouts.  As soon as a seed cracks open and begins to sprout, place it on some moist soil and sprinkle a little soil over the top of it. </p>
<p>4.   Supply  the plants with light.   Flourescent lights are  the  best.  Hang the lights with two inches of the soil and after the  plants appear above the ground,  continue to  keep  the  lights  with  two inches of the plants.   It is as  easy  as  that.   If  you  follow  those four steps you  will  grow  a  marijuana  plant.   To ensure prime quality and the  highest yield in the shortest time period,  however,  a few  details are necessary.</p>
<p>Soil </p>
<p>  Your prime concern,  after choosing high quality  seeds,  is the soil.   Use the best soil you can get.  Scrimping on the soil doesn&#8217;t  pay off in the long run.   If you use unsterilized  soil you will almost certainly find parasites in it, probably after it<br />
is too late to transplant your marijuana.  You can find excellent soil for sale at your local plant shop or  nursery,  K-Mart,  Wal Mart, and even some grocery stores.  The soil you use should have these properties for the best possible results: </p>
<p>1.   It should drain well.   That is, it should have some sand in it and also some sponge rock or pearlite.<br />
2.   The  ph should be between 6.5 and 7.5 since  marijuana  does not do well in acidic soil.  High acidity in soil encourages the plant to be predominantly male, an undesirable trait.<br />
3.   The  soil should also contain humus for  retaining  moisture and nutrients.</p>
<p>     If you want to make your own soil mixture,  you can use this recipe:   Mix  two  parts moss with one part sand  and  one part  pearlite or sponge rock to each four gallons of soil.   Test your soil  for  ph  with  litmus paper or  with  a  soil  testing  kit<br />
available at most plant stores.  To raise the ph of the soil, add 1/2 lb.  lime to 1 cubic foot of soil to raise the ph one  point.<br />
If  you  absolutely  insist on using dirt you dug  up  from  your driveway,  you  must sterilize it by baking it in your  oven  for about an hour at 250 degrees.   Be sure to moisten it  thoroughly first  and also prepare yourself for a rapid evacuation  of  your<br />
kitchen because that hot soil is going to stink.   Now add to the mixture  about one tablespoon of fertilizer (like Rapid-Gro)  per gallon  gallon of soil and blend it in thoroughly.   Better  yet, just  skip  the whole process and spend a couple  bucks  on  some soil.</p>
<p>Containers</p>
<p>   After you have prepared your soil,  you will have to come up with some kind of container to plant in.  The container should be sterilized as well,  especially if they have been used previously for growing other plants.   The size of the container has a great<br />
deal to do with the rate of growth and overall size of the plant.  You  should  plan on transplanting your plant not more  than  one  time,  since  the process of transplanting can be a shock to  the  plant  and  it will have to undergo a recovery  period  in  which  growth  is slowed or even stopped for a short while.   The  first container you use should be no larger than six inches in diameter and  can  be made of clay  or  plastic.   To  transplant,  simply prepare the larger pot by filling it with soil and scooping out a little  hole about the size of the smaller pot that the plant  is in.   Turn the plant upside down, pot and all, and tap the rim of the pot sharply on a counter or the edge of the sink.   The  soil and  root ball should come out of the pot cleanly with  the  soil  retaining  the shape of the pot and with no disturbances  to  the root  ball.   Another  method that can bypass  the  transplanting<br />
problem is using a Jiffy-Pot.   Jiffy pots are made of compressed peat  moss  and can be planted right into moist soil  where  they decompose and allow the passage of the root system through  their walls.   The  second container should have a volume of  at  least three gallons.  Marijuana doesn&#8217;t like to have its roots bound or cramped for space,  so always be sure that the container you  use will  be deep enough for your plant&#8217;s root system.   It  is  very  difficult  to  transplant a five-foot  marijuana  tree,  so  plan  ahead.   It is going to get bigger.   The small plants should  be  ready  to  transplant  into their permanent homes  in  about  two  weeks.  Keep a close watch on them after the first week or so and  avoid root binding at all costs since the plants never seem to do  as  well  once they have been stunted by the  cramping  of  their  roots.</p>
<p>Fertilizer</p>
<p>     Marijuana likes lots of food,  but you can do damage to  the  plants if you are too zealous.  Some fertilizers can burn a plant<br />
and  damage its roots if used in to high a  concentration.   Most  commercial  soil will have enough nutrients in it to sustain  the<br />
plant for about three weeks of growth so you don&#8217;t need to  worry  about  feeding your plant until the end of the third  week.   The  most  important thing to remember is to introduce the  fertilizer  concentration  to  the  plant gradually.   Start  with  a  fairly  diluted  fertilizer solution and gradually increase  the  dosage.   There  are several good marijuana fertilizers on  the  commercial  market,  two of which are Rapid-Gro and Eco-Grow.   Rapid-Gro has  had  widespread use in marijuana cultivation and is available  in  most  parts of the United States.   Eco-Grow is  also  especially  good for marijuana since it contains an ingredient that keeps the  soil from becoming acid.   Most fertilizers cause a ph change  in  the soil.  Adding fertilizer to the soil almost always results in  a more acidic ph. </p>
<p>     As  time  goes  on,  the amount of  salts  produced  by  the  breakdown  of fertilizers in the soil causes the soil  to  become<br />
increasingly  acidic  and eventually the concentration  of  these  salts in the soil will stunt the plant and cause browning out  of<br />
the foliage.  Also, as the plant gets older its roots become less  effective  in  bringing  food  to  the  leaves.    To  avoid  the<br />
accumulation of these salts in your soil and to ensure that  your  plant  is  getting all of the food it needs you  can  begin  leaf<br />
feeding your plant at the age of about 1.5 months.   Dissolve the  fertilizer in worm water and spray the mixture directly onto  the  foliage.   The leaves absorb the fertilizer into their veins.  If  you  want to continue to put fertilizer into the soil as well  as<br />
leaf feeding, be sure not to overdose your plants.</p>
<p>     Remember to increase the amount of food your plant  receives  gradually.  Marijuana seems to be able to take as much fertilizer  as you want to give it as long as it is introduced over a  period  of  time.   During the first three months or so,  fertilize  your  plants every few days.   As the rate of foliage growth slows down  in the plant&#8217;s preparation for blooming and seed production,  the  fertilizer  intake  of the plant should be slowed down  as  well.   Never fertilize the plant just before you are going to harvest it  since  the fertilizer will encourage foliage production and  slow  down  resin production.   A word here about the most  organic  of  fertilizers:   worm castings.   As you may know, worms are raised  commercially for sale to gardeners.   The breeders put the  worms  in  organic compost mixtures and while the worms are  reproducing  they eat the organic matter and expel some of the best  marijuana  food around.   After the worms have eaten all the organic  matter  in  the compost,  they are removed and sold and the  remains  are  then sold as worm castings.   These castings are so rich that you  can grow marijuana in straight worm castings.   This isn&#8217;t really  necessary  however,  and  it  is somewhat  impractical  since  the  castings  are  very expensive.   If you can afford them  you  can,  however,  blend  them in with your soil and they will make a  very<br />
good organic fertilizer.</p>
<p>Light</p>
<p>     Without light,  the plants cannot grow.  In the countries in  which marijuana grows best,  the sun is the source of light.  The amount of light and the length of the growing season  in  these  countries  results in huge tree-like plants.   In most parts of North America,  however,  the sun is not generally intense enough  for  long  enough periods of time to produce the  same  size  and  quality of plants that grow with ease in Latin America and  other  tropical  countries.   The answer to the problem of lack of  sun,  especially in the winter months, shortness of the growing season,  and other problems is to grow indoor under simulated  conditions.   The rule of thumb seems to be the more light, the better.  In one  experiment we know of, eight eight-foot VHO Gro-Lux fixtures were  used over eight plants.   The plants grew at an astonishing rate.   The lights had to be raised every day.   There are many types  of  artificial  light  and all of them do different  things  to  your  plants.   The  common incandescent light bulb emits some  of  the  frequencies of light the plant can use,  but it also emits a high  percentage  of far red and infra-red light which cause the  plant  to concentrate its growth on the stem.  This results in the plant  stretching  toward  the light bulb until it becomes so  tall  and  spindly  that  it just weakly topples over.   There  are  several  brands  of bulb type.   One is the incandescent plant spot  light  which emits higher amounts of red and blue light than the  common  light bulb.   It is an improvement,  but has it drawbacks.  it is  hot,  for  example,  and  cannot be placed close to  the  plants.   Consequently,  the  plant has to stretch upwards again and is  in  danger of becoming elongated and falling over.   The red bands of  light  seem  to encourage stem growth which is not  desirable  in  growing marijuana.   the idea is to encourage foliage growth  for  obvious  reasons.   Gro-Lux lights are probably the  most  common  flourescent plant lights.  In our experience with them, they have<br />
proven themselves to be extremely effective.   They range in size  from one to eight feet in length so you can set up a growing room  in  a  closet or a warehouse.   There are two  types  of  Gro-Lux  lights:  The standard and the wide spectrum.  They can be used in  conjunction with on another, but the wide spectrum lights are not  sufficient on their own.   The wide spectrum lights were designed  as a supplementary light source and are cheaper than the standard  lights.  Wide spectrum lights emit the same bands of light as the  standard  but the standard emit higher concentrations of red  and  blue  bands  that the plants need to  grow.   The  wide  spectrum  lights also emit infra-red, the effect of which on stem growth we  have already discussed.   If you are planning to grow on a  large  scale,   you  might  be  interested  to  know  that  the  regular  flourescent  lamps  and  fixtures,  the type  that  are  used  in  commercial lighting, work well when used along with standard Gro- Lux lights.   These commercial lights are called cool whites, and  are  the  cheapest of the flourescent lights we  have  mentioned.   They  emit  as much blue light as the Gro-Lux standards  and  the  blue light is what the plants use in foliage growth. </p>
<p>     Now we come to the question of intensity.  Both the standard  and  wide  spectrum lamps come  in  three  intensities:   regular  output,  high output,  and very high output.  You can grow a nice  crop  of  plants under the regular output lamps and  probably  be  quite satisfied with our results.  The difference in using the HO  or  VHO lamps is the time it takes to grow a crop.   Under a  VHO  lamp,  the  plants grow at a rate that is about three  times  the  rate  at which they grow under the standard lamps.   People  have  been  known to get a plant that is four feet tall in  two  months  under one of these lights.  Under the VHO lights, one may have to  raise the lights every day which means a growth rate of ate least  two  inches a day.   The only drawback is the expense of the  VHO  lamps and fixtures.   The VHO lamps and fixtures are almost twice  the price of the standard.  If you are interested in our opinion,  they are well worth it.   Now that you have your lights  up,  you  might be curious about the amount of light to give you plants per  day.  The maturation date of your plants is dependent on how much  light they receive per day.   The longer the dark period per day,  the sooner the plant will bloom.   Generally speaking,  the  less  dark  per  day  the better during the first  six  months  of  the  plant&#8217;s life.   The older the plant is before it blooms and  goes  to  seed,  the  better the grass will be.   After  the  plant  is  allowed  to  bloom,  its  metabolic rate is slowed  so  that  the  plant&#8217;s  quality does not increase with the age at the same  rate  it did before it bloomed.   The idea,  then,  is to let the plant  get  as old as possible before allowing it to mature so that  the  potency will be a high as possible at the time of  harvest.   One  relatively  sure way to keep your plants from blooming until  you  are  ready  for  them is to leave the lights  on  all  the  time.   Occasionally  a plant will go ahead and bloom anyway,  but it  is  the  exception rather than the rule.   If your plants receive  12  hours  of  light per day they will probably mature in  2  to  2.5  months.  If they get 16 hours of light per day they will probably  be blooming in 3.5 to 4 months.   With 18 hours of light per day,  they will flower in 4.5 to 5 months.  Its a good idea to put your  lights  on  a timer to ensure that the amount of  light  received  each day remains constant.   A vacation timer, normally used to  make it look like you are home while you are away,  works  nicely  and can be found at most hardware or discount stores.<br />

<p>Temperature and Humidity</p>
<p>     The ideal temperature for the light hours is 68 to 78 degrees fahrenheit  and  for  the dark hours there should be  about  a  15  degree drop in temperature.  The growing room should be relatively  dry  if  possible.   What you want is a resinous  coating  on  the  leaves and to get the plant to do this,  you must convince it that  it needs the resinous coating on its leaves to protect itself from  drying out.   In an extremely humid room,  the plants develop wide  leaves and do not produce as much resin.   You must take care  not  to  let  the temperature in a dry room become  too  hot,  however,  since  the plant cannot assimilate water fast enough  through  its  roots and its foliage will begin to brown out. </p>
<p>Ventilation</p>
<p>     Proper ventilation in your growing room is fairly  important.   The  more  plants you have in one room,  the more  important  good  ventilation becomes.   Plants breathe through their  leaves.   The  also  rid themselves of poisons through their leaves.   If  proper  ventilation is not maintained, the pores of the leaves will become  clogged and the leaves will die.   If there is a free movement  of  air,  the  poisons can evaporate off the leaves and the plant  can  breathe and remain healthy.</p>
<p>     In  a small closet where there are only a few plants you  can  probably create enough air circulation just by opening the door to  look  at them.   Although it is possible to grow  healthy  looking  plants  in  poorly  ventilated rooms,  they would  be  larger  and  healthier  if they had a fresh supply of air coming  in.   If  you  spend  a lot of time in your growing room,  your plants will  grow  better because they will be using the carbon dioxide that you  are  exhaling  around them.   It is sometimes quite difficult to get  a  fresh  supply of air in to your growing room because your room  is  usually hidden away in a secret corner of your house,  possibly in  the  attic  or basement.   In this case,  a fan will  create  some  movement of air.   It will also stimulate your plants into growing  a  healthier  and  sturdier  stalk.   Often  times  in  an  indoor  environment, the stems of plants fail to become rigid because they  don&#8217;t have to cope with elements of wind and rain.   To a  degree,  though,  this  is an advantage because the plant puts most of  its  energy into producing leaves and resin instead of stems.</p>
<p>Dehumidifying Your Growing Room</p>
<p>     Cannabis that grows in a hot,  dry climate will have narrower  leaves than cannabis grown in a humid atmosphere.   The reason  is  that  in a dry atmosphere the plant can respirate  easier  because  the  moisture  on  the  leaves  evaporates  faster.   In  a  humid  atmosphere,  the moisture cannot evaporate as fast.  Consequently,  the  leaves have to be broader with more surface area in order  to  expel the wastes that the plant put out.   Since the broad  leaves  produce  less  resin per leaf than the narrow there will  be  more  resin  in  an ounce of narrow leaves than in one  ounce  of  broad  leaves.  There may be more leaf mass in the broader leafed plants,  but  most  people are growing their own for  quality  rather  than  quantity.</p>
<p>     Since the resin in the marijuana plant serves the purpose  of  keeping the leaves from drying out,  there is more apt to be a lot  of resin produced in a dry room than in a humid one.  In the Sears  catalog, dehumidifiers cost around $100.00 and are therefore a bit  impractical for the hobby grower. </p>
<p>Watering</p>
<p>     If you live near a clear mountain stream,  you can skip  this  bit on the quality of water.  Most of us are supplied water by the  city and some cities add more chemicals to the water than  others.   They all add chlorine,  however,  in varying  quantities.   Humans  over the years have learned to either get rid of it somehow or  to  live with it, but your marijuana plants won&#8217;t have time to acquire  a  taste  for it so you had better see that they  don&#8217;t  have  to.   Chlorine will evaporate if you let the water stand for 24 hours in  an open container.   Letting the water stand for a day or two will  serve  a dual purpose:   The water will come to  room  temperature  during that period of time and you can avoid the nasty shock  your  plants suffer when you drench them with cold water.   Always water  with  room temperature to lukewarm water.   If your water  has  an  excessive amount of chlorine in it, you may want to get some anti- chlorine drops at the local fish or pet store.  The most important  thing  about  watering is to do it thoroughly.   You can  water  a  plant in a three gallon container with as much as three quarts  of<br />
water.   The  idea is to get the soil evenly moist all the way  to  the bottom of the pot.   If you use a little water, even if you do<br />
it  often,  it seeps just a short way down into the soil  and  any  roots  below the moist soil will start to turn upwards toward  the  water.   The second most important thing about watering is to  see  to it that the pot has good drainage.   There should be some holes  in the bottom so that any excess water will run out.   If the  pot  won&#8217;t drain,  the excess water will accumulate in a pocket and rot  the  roots  of the plant or simply make the soil sour  or  mildew.   The soil, as we said earlier, must allow the water to drain evenly  through it and must not become hard or packed.   If you have  made  sure that the soil contains sand and pearlite,  you shouldn&#8217;t have  drainage problems.   To discover when to water, feel the soil with  your finger.  if you feel moisture in the soil, you can wait a day  or two to water.  The soil near the top of the pot is always drier  than  the  soil further down.   You can drown your plant  just  as  easily  as  you can let it get too dry and it is  more  likely  to  survive  a  dry spell than it is to survive  a  torrential  flood.   Water  the plants well when you water and don&#8217;t water them at  all  when they don&#8217;t need it.</p>
<p>Bugs </p>
<p>     If you can avoid getting bugs in the first place you will  be  much  better  off.   Once  your plants become  infested  you  will<br />
probably be fighting bugs for the rest of your plants&#8217; lives.   To  avoid bugs be sure to use sterilized soil and containers and don&#8217;t  bring  other plants from outside into your growing room.   If  you  have bets,  ensure that they stay out of your growing room,  since  they  can  bring  in pests on  their  fur.   Examine  your  plants  regularly  for  signs of insects,  spots,  holes  in  the  leaves,  browning of the tips of the leaves,  and droopy branches.   If you  find  that  somehow in spite of all your precautions  you  have  a  plant  room full of bugs,  you&#8217;ll have to spray your  plants  with  some kind of insecticide.   You&#8217;ll want to use something that will  kill the bugs and not you.  Spider mites are probably the bug that  will  do  the most damage to the marijuana  plants.   One  of  the  reasons is that they are almost microscopic and very hard to spot.   They  are  called  spider  mites because  they  leave  a  web-like  substance  clinging to the leaves.   They also cause  tiny  little  spots  to appear on the leaves.   Probably the first thing  you&#8217;ll  notice, however, is that your plants look sick and depressed.  The  mites suck enzymes from the leaves and as a result the leaves lose  some  of their green color and glossiness.   Sometimes the  leaves  look like they have some kid of fungus on them.  The eggs are very  tiny black dots.   You might be wise to get a magnifying glass  so  that  you can really scrutinize your plants closely.   Be sure  to  examine the underside of the leaves too.   The mites will often be  found clinging to the underside as well as the top of the  leaves.   The sooner you start fighting the bugs,  the easier it will be  to  get rid of them.   For killing spider mites on marijuana,  one  of  the best insecticides if Fruit and Berry spray made by  llers.<br />
Ortho  also  produces several insecticides that will  kill  mites.   The ingredients to look for are Kelthane and Malatheon.   Both  of  these poisons are lethal to humans and pets as well as  bugs,  but  they  both detoxify in about ten days so you can safely smoke  the  grass ten days after spraying.  Fruit and Berry will only kill the  adult mite,  however, and you&#8217;ll have to spray every four days for  about  two  weeks to be sure that you have killed all  the  adults  before they have had a chance to lay eggs.   Keep a close watch on  your  plants  because it only takes one egg laying  adult  to  re- infest  your  plants and chances are that one or two  will  escape  your  barrage  of insecticides.   If you see  little  bugs  flying  around your plants, they are probably white flies.  The adults are  immune to almost all the commercial insecticides except Fruit  and  Berry  which will not kill the eggs or larva.   It is  the  larval  stage  of this insect that does the most damage.   They  suck  out  enzymes too,  and kill your plants if they go unchecked.  You will  have  to  get on a spraying program just as was explained  in  the  spider mite section.</p>
<p>     An  organic method of bug control is using  soap  suds.   Put  Ivory  flakes in some lukewarm water and work up the suds  into  a  lather.    Then  put  the  suds  over  the  plant.    The  obvious  disadvantage  is it you don&#8217;t rinse the soap off the plant  you&#8217;ll  taste the soap when you smoke the leaves. </p>
<p>Pruning </p>
<p>     We  have  found that pruning is not  always  necessary.   The  reason  one does it in the first place is to  encourage  secondary  growth  and  to allow light to reach the  immature  leaves.   Some  strands  of grass just naturally grow thick and bushy and if  they  are  not clipped the sap moves in an uninterrupted flow  right  to  the top of the plant where it produces flowers that are thick with  resin.   On the other hand, if your plants appear tall and spindly  for  their  age at three weeks,  they probably  require  a  little  trimming to ensure a nice full leafy plant.  At three weeks of age  your plant should have at least two sets of branches or four  leaf  clusters and a top.   To prune the plant, simply slice the top off  just about the place where two branches oppose each other.   Use a  razor blade in a straight cut.   If you want to,  you can root the  top  in  some water and when the roots appear,  plant the  top  in  moist  soil  and it should grow into another plant.   If  you  are  going to root the top you should cut the end again, this time with  a  diagonal  cut  so as to expose more surface  to  the  water  or  rooting  solution.   The  advantage to taking cuttings  from  your  plant is that it produces more tops.  The tops have the resin, and  that&#8217;s the name of the game.   Every time you cut off a  top,  the  plant seeds out two more top branches at the base of the  existing  branches.  Pruning also encourages the branches underneath to grow  faster than they normally would without the top having been cut. </p>
<p>Harvesting and Curing </p>
<p>     Well,  now that you&#8217;ve grown your marijuana, you will want to  cur  it  right so that it smokes clean and won&#8217;t  bite.   You  can  avoid  that homegrown taste of chlorophyll that sometimes  makes  one&#8217;s  fillings taste like they might be dissolving.   We know  of  several  methods  of curing the marijuana so that it will  have  a  mild flavor and a mellow rather than harsh smoke.</p>
<p>     First,  pull  the plant up roots and all and hang  it  upside  down  for 24 hours.   Then put each plant in a paper  grocery  bag  with the top open for three or four days or until the leaves  feel  dry to the touch.   Now strip the leaves off the stem and put them  in a glass jar with a lid.   Don&#8217;t pack the leaves in tightly, you  want air to reach all the leaves.   The main danger in the  curing  process  is mold.   If the leaves are too damp when you  put  them  into the jar,  they will mold and since the mold will destroy  the  resins,  mold will ruin your marijuana.  you should check the jars  every day by smelling them and if you smell an acrid  aroma,  take  the weed out of the jar and spread it out on newspaper so that  it  can dry quickly.   Another method is to uproot the plants and hang  them upside down.   You get some burlap bags damp and slip them up  over the plants.  Keep the bags damp and leave them in the sun for  at least a week.  Now put the plants in a paper bag for a few days  until the weed is dry enough to smoke.   Like many fine things  in  life,  marijuana mellows out with age.  The aging process tends to  remove the chlorophyll taste. </p>
<p>Editor&#8217;s Note and Important Warning:</p>
<p>     This  pamphlet  was written about 8 years  ago.   While  the  facts,  figures,  and methods described here are still valid,  an<br />
mportant  note  must  be  added  concerning  the  purchasing  of  equipment and supplies.   The information age is upon us and  and  increasing  amount of data is being kept about all of us  whether  we realize it or not.   With the war on drugs in full effect, the  D.E.A. is using this information at every possible opportunity.      When you make a purchase with a credit card,  every last bit  of  information  regarding  that purchase is filed  away  into  a  database,  both  at the store and with your credit card  company.   Not  only the price,  but the exact  date,  location,  and  items  purchased are recorded and stored away.   Many stores and  credit  card  companies routinely sell their databases of  customers  and  transactions  to  anybody  who can  afford  it.   The  D.E.A  can  certainly afford it.  After all, they&#8217;re using your tax dollars.      The D.E.A.  as well as other government agencies DO purchase  these  databases for their own uses.   They feed them into  their  computers  and  the  computers spit out a list  of  anybody  with  suspicious purchases.   Any purchases that could be  associated  with  drug  production,  use,  or selling could  be  flagged  for  further  investigation.   These  suspicious  purchases  include  unusual chemicals,  medical supplies such as syringes, lights and  timers, and even potting soil and fertilizer.        The point is,  if you are planning on purchasing supplies to  grow  marijuana don&#8217;t take any chances.   While the average  home  grower,  who  is  simply growing enough for his  own  use,  would  probably never be flagged by the computers,  you never know.   If  you are purchasing equipment or supplies, PAY CASH!  In addition,  many  supermarkets  and  discount stores now have  some  sort  of  Preferred Customer cards.   When you buy something,  regardless  of how you pay,  you give them your card to scan and all   your  purchases are recorded.   They then send you some sort of  coupon  depending  on  what and how much you purchased  each  month.   It  sounds  like  a good deal,  but you wind up having  all  of  your  purchases  recorded  and sold just like with  the  credit  cards.   DON&#8217;T  use  one of these cards when you are  purchasing  anything  that might be deemed suspicious.  For that matter, don&#8217;t use them  at  all.   They  just result in a ton of junk mail and a  lot  of  people knowing exactly what you buy and when you buy it.</p>

It&#8217;s not hard to find a Las Vegas Valley Dentist, if you live in one of the incorporated cities.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because there are over 1,000 dentists in the Las Vegas Valley - and growing.</p>
<p>It makes sense that there would be so many dentists, since the population of the cities within the valley - Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, The Lakes and Boulder City - have been growing at a rapid and steady pace for years.</p>
<p>With a cumulative population well over a million people, 1,000 dentists might sound like too few.</p>
<p>As you might expect, the dental specialties within the Las Vegas Valley are fully represented.</p>
<p>From General Dentists to Implant Specialists, you can find the Las Vegas Valley dentist who is the right fit for you and your family.</p>
<p>To find a dentist in the Las Vegas Valley, you can use the phone book.  </p>
<p>But the dentist section in the Las Vegas phone book is 66 pages long!</p>
<p>Or, you could use a search engine to find a a href=http://www.lasvegasvalleydentist.comLas Vegas Dentist/a.</p>
<p>In your favorite search engine, simply type in Las Vegas Dentist, Henderson Dentist or possibly a href=http://www.lasvegasvalleydentist.com/blogNorth Las Vegas Dentist/a, to get a listing of more localized dentists.</p>
<p>Within those listings, you&#8217;ll usually find several dentist directories in the first few positions.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, these directories are usually poorly constructed and only represent a fraction of the available dentists in the area.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because directories are primarily used as revenue generators for the site owners, with a few local dentists agreeing to pay them for a listing.</p>
<p>And the few dentists who have websites (even in this day and age) normally don&#8217;t have them optimized so that they&#8217;ll be found in the first page or two after using simple search terms like those above.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s better to try and refine your web search by entering terms like North Las Vegas General Dentist or Henderson Cosmetic Dentist or even a href=http://www.lasvegasvalleydentist.comlocal family dentist/a rather than more generalized terms that yield poor results.</p>
<p>Incidentally, you can check to see if a Las Vegas Valley Dentist has a website by first using the phone book to look for clinic or doctor&#8217;s names and site addresses there.</p>
<p>Then, if they have a site listed or a specific clinic name, like Sunrise Dental you can dig a little deeper via the internet.</p>
<p>You can also use Google maps to find the locations of the dentists you&#8217;re interested in.</p>
<p>A few dentists in the Las Vegas Valley have nice websites that allow people to begin the process of signing-up with their dentist(s) as a new patient.</p>
<p>Of course, there&#8217;s always the word of mouth method of finding a dentist here in the valley.</p>
<p>Provided the person telling you lives fairly close to where you live.</p>
<p>Because the Las Vegas Valley includes a lot of territory.  </p>
<p>There are approximately 65 zip codes in the valley.  And driving longer distances and longer times in traffic are becoming commonplace.</p>
<p>So, word of mouth works good for a dentist who either has an office near your home or your workplace.</p>
<p>But since people are not typically thrilled to go to the dentist in the first place, convenience of location is a real plus.</p>
<p>It also never hurts to be informed about dentistry, how it should be practiced and what to look for (or look out for) in a potential Las Vegas Valley Dentist.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, not all dentists provide the same level of quality.  </p>
<p>You should know where to look to check on pending or completed law suites or other negative information regarding any dentist you are evaluating.</p>
<p>In the end, finding the right dentist in the Las Vegas Valley can be time consuming, expensive and frustrating.</p>
<p>Certain services can help with the process, though.</p>
