    Shipping Your Large Packages - UPS's New System
    UPS is changing the way they calculate freight charges on your larger and oversized packages in 2007. They have what has been termed a simpler rate calculation based solely on dimensional weights which replaces the old oversize specifications of the past. This system is only applicable to ground shipping methods and only for packages larger than 3 cubic feet or 5184 cubic inches. Packages smaller than 3 cubic feet will be billed based on the actual weight of the package.The new met

    I loved thinking about how to answer that and about how it feels to really win at life. Well, if you've reading my other articles, you’ve probably figured out by now that I've got a thing for words. In fact, I’m a self-confessed word nerd. So, you can bet that when it came time write this article that, yes, I looked up the verb "to win". And what I found truly surprised me.

    It seems that the emphasis on winning is everywhere. And it's easy to believe that winning is everything. Even the idea of the win seems to suggest that what's most important is getting to the grand finale and that your destination IS your success. But did you know that the word "win" was not used to convey victory until the 19th century? So, what does it really mean to win? The original definition is ‘to struggle or strive for’. So, the more you do, the more you actually win. And by doing more, I’m not talking about efficiency, but about consistency.

    Here's a little story to illustrate my point. A few months ago, I bought a 1940s bungalow that's just screaming for some TLC. So, in the process of getting settled, I went to Target and bought this really cute little set of drawers. At about nine o'clock, one night, I thought that I'd take an hour to assemble the drawers, and then get to sleep at a reasonable time. It was curious that the box said it was a heavy piece of furniture that required two people, but it only stood about 35 inches high by a foot deep once assembled. Well, I’m sure you can guess where this is going...

    Drinking Toxins? Good Health Begins with Filtered Water
    Enhancing your health with filtered water and lots of it is the foundation of good health. A person may be able to survive a couple of months without food but only a few days without water. Hydrating the body is the primary step towards optimal health. Water is necessary for the digestion and absorption of food. It affects the body's metabolism by moving nutrients, hormones, antibodies and oxygen through the lymphatic system. Since it is calorie free, water is an excellent appetite suppressant and

    Book Publishing Services
    Book publishing services are usually just self-publishing companies that do the legwork for a fee. But in a nutshell, the publishing industry includes the development, marketing, production and distribution of news and non-fiction magazines and books, literary works and other works dealing with dissemination of information. Although newspaper and magazine companies often own printing presses and binderies, most of the book publishing companies outsource the production and development work to smalle

    The Nature of the Trading Business
    Consider the following: As a trader you are in a business. Your strongest opponent has plenty of capital. He follows a program and he does it without emotion. He is totally aware of the fact that no one knows where the next tick will fall. Whereas he usually has good insights regarding the major forces that drive the market, he does not fool himself into thinking he can explain the vagrancies of price movement intraday or even from day to day. He knows that no one truly can.The successful tr

    By one o'clock in the morning, it still wasn't done. I kid you not, there were 12 different bags of hardware, and none of them contained less than 10 pieces. So there I was, exasperated and blurry eyed. One of the holes hadn't been bored out and one of the drawer rails had split off during shipping.

    I’m sure you can just imagine me there with my power tools, wood glue and clamps as I realized that the second person required by the instructions was only necessary to prevent me from intentionally taking myself out with a dull drill bit. The thing was that while the little chest of drawers was almost done, I was still questioning why I'd started this thing and how I could once again delude myself into believing it was a quick project.

    So, back to the question "How do you know when you're winning?" And keep in mind that the question is not IF you’re winning, but WHEN. Well, if to win is to struggle or strive then, by all means, I was definitely winning. The point is that I don't think you really know exactly when you win in most cases. You just keep plodding ahead, step by necessary step, and when you simply can't go on, you give yourself permission to stop and regroup without the need for judgment. So I did. I dragged myself to bed and the next day, I completed the drawers quickly and from a much better p
