			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <a href="http://www.etonneaucover.com/"><strong>tonneau cover</strong></a> makes it simpler for truck owners to maintain the good condition of the truck bed.  An exposed truck bed is prone to untimely wear and tear as cold and heat can weaken the metal surface.  And nicks and scratches on the exterior may also invite rust to settle in and if this is not fixed may lead to the gradual corrosion of the entire vehicle.  Getting a cover on your bed will lessen your maintenance as covering it is maintenance in itself.</p>
<p>There are also different functions that a pickup truck serves.  Most people choose truck because of its load and seating capacity.  People also choose trucks as it can pass through different terrains, from the smooth city roads to the rugged mountain trails.  Offroading is also one of the reasons why individuals opt for trucks.  It has a better chance of surviving rough topography than any vehicle.  Not to mention that pickups tend to become delivery vehicles, used in the oil and well industry, oftentimes used as a search and rescue service, and the list goes on.</p>
<p>In order to protect the bed and cargo a <a href="http://www.etonneaucover.com/"><strong>truck bed cover</strong></a> is furnished on your truck.  Hard cover, soft cover and even a retractable cover are among the types you can choose from to fit on your truck.  All are made from high quality and light materials for easy installation and operation.  Select a cover that would best match what you need.</p>
<p>Price range would depend on the type of <a href="http://www.etonneaucover.com/"><strong>bed cover</strong></a>.  Soft covers come more economical than the hard and retractable ones.  What’s good with soft covers is that you have the flexibility to roll it in and out depending on the size of your load.  You do not have to remove it entirely to accommodate oversized consignments.  However the hard cover provides the best security since the material used is unbreakable thus difficult to pry open.  For retractable, you have the substance of the hard cover and the pliability of a soft cover, another good option when you get to load large cargos every now and then.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.etonneaucover.com/"><strong>Tonneau</strong></a> is not just another accessory you can add to your vehicle to add visual value, although that’s a part of it.  It will serve its purpose and a lot more.  Take the hard cover, for instance, you can use that as extended bench during outdoor activities.  So the covers are more than their worth as it becomes a multi-purpose accessory.  Grab one and equip your truck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have what it takes to become a successful MLM consultant?  What are the different challenges that you need to overcome as a beginner? How do you react when you are criticized by your customers? <a href="http://www.mlmtraining.com/mlm_consultant.html/"><strong>MLM consultants</strong></a> are people who know how to handle multi level marketing business transactions. They master all the twist and turns of the business.  Becoming an MLM consultant is never easy; you have to first overcome all the difficulties or challenges that will come in your way.</p>
<p>As an <a href="http://www.mlmtraining.com/mlm_consultant.html/"><strong>MLM consultant</strong></a>, there are times when your customer criticized your style of delivering the message.  Maintaining an eye to eye contact with your customer will give you hint that he understands what you’re trying to say. If he looks relax and nods once in awhile means he is getting your message.  If he does not, you will know from his gesture such as crossing eyebrows.</p>
<p>One way of connecting to your customers is through extensive trainings.  Most MLM companies would invest on coaching, seminars or trainings for their employees. This is to ensure that their <strong>network marketing consultants</strong> are updated on the current trends.  Moreover, it is a must that MLM consultants are knowledgeable in your chosen field. You should have a full grasp of what you are selling or offering to your customers.</p>
<p>Aside from seminars and trainings is professionalism.  Coming to appointments on time is a good trait of an MLM consultant.  Never in any instance let your customer or client wait for you during a scheduled meeting. This will give a wrong impression. Thus, it is difficult to gain your customer’s trust once you break it.  When that happens, you a big possibility that you lose your business deal.  Remember that customers do not want to wait.</p>
<p>Learn to trust yourself.  If you want your client to trust you, learn to trust yourself first.  Be confident in everything that you do. Trust that you can do it on your own.  Your clients will sense it if you are not confident in what you are saying or proposing. Remember that if you are prepared on your presentation or proposal there is nothing to worry about. However, for a newbie in the business it is understandable to experience this issue.  But never immerse yourself too much on the situation.  Learn from other people’s mistake. Stand up and be confident about yourself. It is the only way to beat it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have noticed, MLM experts such as those consultants and <a href="http://www.keynotespeakersmotivationalspeakers.com/"><strong>motivational speakers</strong></a> don’t need to sell or advertise themselves. They can recruit interested distributors into their business in network marketing without much effort. There is a reason why they are able to do these tasks that all network marketers would like to know. They do it by setting themselves up as consultants instead of being amateur home-based business owners.</p>
<p>They don’t care about your company and your products or services because they are probably engrossed with growing their own network marketing company. They do this to attract more networkers whom they can sell information on how to overcome their problems. This kind of approach will establish them as an MLM consultant at the same time knowledgeable and skillful of the MLM concepts, in the eyes of their colleagues. This makes the difference between the professional consultant and an amateur in MLM.</p>
<p>The professional advises the amateur, finds solutions to their problems, and later on gives recommendations on how to solve their problems, while putting in extra income without making the person join his business. The MLM consultant, who is also a <a href="http://www.keynotespeakersmotivationalspeakers.com/"><strong>keynote speaker</strong></a> in MLM trainings, sells inexpensive information product which helps him solve his market needs. In network marketing, this is the process of generating leads in order to earn more income while at the same time, recruit people to join the down line.</p>
<p>You can be an expert MLM consultant by generating market solutions through the use of newsletter or a product. Another is to become a leading trainer who can instruct others to become experts like them. They are not affected by outside criticism but exude self-confidence in whatever they do. They are leaders who know exactly what they want and concentrate on achieving their goals. They sponsor people without too much effort especially in network marketing. They are valuable that’s why prospective clients immediately want to associate with them.</p>
<p>If you think you are not yet a leader, this is not a problem since everyone will really start at the bottom and work their way to success. Even the top leaders, successful mentors, expert consultants, and master <a href="http://www.keynotespeakersmotivationalspeakers.com/"><strong>keynote speakers</strong></a> have started from the lowest level so that they can make it to the top ladder of the compensation plan. Building relationships with other people takes a long time as well as learning the skills to be able to quickly and effortlessly make their down line grow. Building an MLM business takes years of struggle and pain in the beginning and you need to have prior experience before getting to the top where you want to belong.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A truck bed cover is one of the accessories that you can fit your truck and end up getting more out of it.  You have the choice of getting a soft tonneau which is economical choices or the hard ones if you are more concerned of security and price is not a question.  <a href="http://www.tonneaucoversworld.com/ranch-fiberglass-tonneau-covers.aspx"><strong>Fiberglass tonneau covers</strong></a> are among the selection for hard tonneau.  A lightweight material that is strong enough to withstand great forces providing maximum security for the truck bed and consignments.</p>
<p>For those looking at painted covers the recommended and probably best choice would be <a href="http://www.tonneaucoversworld.com/Ranch-fiberglass-tonneau-covers.aspx"><strong>Ranch tonneau covers</strong></a>.  The DuPont automotive grade paint that gets on the truck’s body is the same paint that goes into the covers.  Baked and cured paint on the lid giving an environmentally friendly clear coat, it makes a sleek finish on the cover.  Legacy with style lined cover and Sportwrap sporting a smooth top cover offering your truck added value on the appearance department.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tonneaucoversworld.com/Ranch-fiberglass-tonneau-covers.aspx"><strong>Ranch Fiberglass</strong></a> has a triple seal system starting with skirted fiberglass.  Water needs to go in an upward stream to be able to get through the lid.  This ensures weather proof of your payload and truck bed.  Coming in next in the sealing department are wrap seals which goes between the lid and truck bed.  The cover is designed with the “L” style gutter rail to keep water that has seeped through to get to the truck bed.</p>
<p>The tonneau cover will protect the bed of the truck and the payload that you haul on a regular basis from the elements that may cause potential damage to both.  The truck bed will be precluded from premature deterioration because it is duly shielded.  Dent or scratch or any damage whatsoever on the consignments, particularly loss due to being blown out, will also be avoided because the cover will provide shelter for it.  In addition, the cover will safeguard the cargos from possible theft.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.tonneaucoversworld.com/Ranch-fiberglass-tonneau-covers.aspx"><strong>Ranch tonneau cover</strong></a> is an effective accessory.  With it on, it keeps your vehicle aerodynamic and lets you maximize your fuel.  We can use some savings particularly on gas.  Fuel prices do not seem to be going down but rather is hiking up every now and then. A truck bed cover not only provides protection for bed and load and lets you make the most of your fuel consumption; it also offers your truck a sleek custom look for added visual value.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A Traveler&#039;s Guide to Laptop Security

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Traveler&#039;s Guide to Laptop Security<br />
By John Gontowicz<br />
The facts:<br />
&#034; More than 1,700 laptops are lost or stolen every day. That is more than 620,050 a year.<br />
&#034; 97% of them are never recovered, according to the FBI.<br />
&#034; Data stored on the devices &#8211; customer lists, financial data, and correspondence &#8211; is critical.<br />
&#034; The equipment itself &#8212; laptops, Blackberry&#039;s, PDAs, LCD monitors, cell phones &#8211; are prime items for theft and they are expensive to replace.<br />
&#034; Professional thieves are not interested in the laptop, only its resale value.<br />
Below are the top fifteen tips for protecting your laptop:<br />
1. When you are travelling with a laptop please carry the laptop with you. Many incidences have happened where laptops were stolen from baggage checked in at airports because the traveler did not want to carry the extra weight.<br />
2. Do not leave your laptop or carrying case in plain view when travelling by car.<br />
3. Protect your laptop from the environment. A sudden change in temperature can crack the display.<br />
4. When using a carrying case pick a bag that does not look like a computer bag. I always see fashionable business people carrying laptops in expensive cases. Those cases say &#8211; &#034;Laptop! Laptop! Steal me!&#034; Please watch your computer bag at all times.<br />
5. An unsecured laptop computer is very susceptible to data theft, especially if you use it in wireless locations.<br />
6. Passwords are needed for laptop computers.<br />
7. Laptops are pretty attractive for thieves. A number of companies sell software that silently phones home when it&#039;s eventually reconnected to a network after the unit is stolen.<br />
8. Turn off the boot (start-up) sequence on the laptop and have it start using the hard drive.<br />
9. Lock up the laptop. This is pretty obvious, but it is so often overlooked.<br />
One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to secure your mobile PC is to use a security cable or lock to attach your laptop to a stationary object. If you must leave your unlocked laptop behind while you are at a hotel, put the Do Not Disturb sign on the door.<br />
10. Make sure that you use Internet Security, spyware prevention, and anti-virus software.<br />
11. Make sure you backup all of your data onto a CD, external drive, another PC, or an Internet service.<br />
12. Security experts claim that you should engrave your name on a laptop because it would be harder for a thief to fence it.<br />
13. You might want to consider buying insurance for your laptop. Many homeowners&#039; insurance policies don&#039;t cover computers.<br />
14. Never leave access numbers or passwords in your carrying case. Keeping your password with your laptop is like keeping the keys in your car.<br />
15. Use a screen guard. These guards help prevent people from peaking over your shoulder as you work on sensitive information in a public place.<br />
If you follow these basic guidelines and some common sense, you don&#039;t have to give up yours. </p>

<p>Within windows, you can use a feature that is pretty powerful to increase your productivity. This is the windows multiple monitor feature. Imagine having a document on your computer that you need to see while you type another document. This is what the double monitor feature allows you to do.</p>
<p>This feature is supported nicely in Windows XP. You can have a smaller monitor off to the right while you type your document on your main monitor.</p>
<p>To use this feature, you will need to buy a video card that supports multiple monitors. ATI manufactures a great video card called the VGA All In Wonder. You can pick this card up at your local computer super store for around $100.00.</p>
<p>If all you want to do is use the two monitor feature and are not big into games or multi tasking many programs at once, then this is all you will need. However, if you like to play high graphic games, then you will want to get a video card with a good amount of memory. Just ask the sales person at the store to help you. Make sure they understand what it is exactly, you are trying to do.</p>
<p>Once you purchase the video card, if you can install it yourself then great. If not, then see if the store can do it for you or find a knowledgeable friend to help you out. Just having a friend install the card, can save you anywhere from $50.00 to $100.00.</p>
<p>After the video card is installed, it&#039;s time to hook up your second monitor to number two VGA output of the video card.</p>
<p>All you will really need is a cheap monitor for your 2nd monitor. Look in your local phone book for used computer dealers or on the internet. Just go to Google and type in &#034;used computer monitors&#034; and your location. This should allow you to find somewhere close to your home.</p>
<p>Using the multiple monitor feature in Windows.</p>
<p>Once you have everything set up with both monitors in place. Turn on the other monitor in Windows. You do this by clicking on your main desktop and selecting properties from the pop up menu. Next you need to click on the setting tab. Here you will see the numbers 1 and 2 in bold white letters. Click the number 2 and you should see two little check boxes off to the left. Click on the one that reads, extend myWindows desktop onto this monitor. If you other monitor was off and the light was just blinking, then doing this should turn it on.</p>
<p>Once the 2nd monitor is turned on, all you have to do is open whatever application you want and resize it to half screen. Then, just drag it all the way to the other screen. You should now be able to move your mouse and applications freely between both monitors. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet the new boss &#8212; you.</p>
<p>If you&#039;re like most of us, you hate your boss even if they&#039;re a nice person and good boss. At heart we&#039;re still rebellious kids with &#034;oppositional defiant disorder&#034; who don&#039;t want any surrogate mothers or fathers. </p>
<p>And just as most people do eventually become mothers and fathers of their own children, to get rich as a techie you must get over your own rebelliousness and learn to at least be open to becoming the boss over other people. </p>
<p>I know it can be hard. I myself have seen at least four people who decided to take voluntary demotions and go from supervisor back to technical jobs.</p>
<p>But let&#039;s face it &#8212; management is the most common and obvious way for techies to step up the career ladder to greater money and achievement.</p>
<p>I have a friend who has a cousin who is a bigshot at Sun Microsystems, the creators of the Java computer language. She told me once that he makes $600,000 a year. &#034;I don&#039;t know what he does, but he&#039;s very good at it.&#034;</p>
<p>I can guarantee you, he does a lot more than &#034;code in peace.&#034;</p>
<p>Bill Gates is not the richest computer programmer in the world because he&#039;s the greatest programmer in the world. He is the wealthiest programmer in the world precisely because he hasn&#039;t written a line of code in over two decades.</p>
<p>My point is, take responsibility for your career. That does mean getting emotionally comfortable with the idea of giving orders, delegating work instead of performing it yourself, teaching others, giving negative evaluations when they don&#039;t perform well, refereeing employee disputes, giving presentations, attending meetings, etc.</p>
<p>You don&#039;t want to become the old joke, the great techie who is promoted to being a lousy supervisor.</p>
<p>So prepare now. Read management books. Take classes in management. Attend seminars on management (yes, at your own expense). </p>
<p>Ask your supervisor for help. If they are smart, they want a subordinate ready and willing to take over their job, so they can be promoted.</p>
<p>If your boss is not that smart, find a mentor in the company who is willing to help and guide you.</p>
<p>Practice taking responsibility. Of course, for your own work. In your mind, for your co-workers. If you were Frank&#039;s boss and he was 3 days late with a report, what would you do? What would you do about your team&#039;s failure to meet the monthly goals? What would you say to them to motivate<br />
them to work harder?</p>
<p>Practice saying it to yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a society, we&#039;ve rapidly moved from wired to wireless. Whether it&#039;s a laptop, cell phone, BlackBerry, or digital camera, most people are carrying one-or all of these things at any given time. All of those wonderful gadgets require battery powered fuel. There are few things more frustrating than when one of these practically essential gadgets loses power unexpectedly. In this article, we&#039;ll focus on 3 ways to increase the battery lifespan on some of today&#039;s most popular battery powered devices.</p>
<p>Laptop batteries:<br />
Laptop batteries can be frustrating, to say the least. They almost seem to know when you&#039;re right in the middle of something important and choose that time to lose power. If your laptop battery has less than an hour&#039;s worth of life, it&#039;s probably time for a new one.</p>
<p>However, through a process called conditioning, you can &#034;train&#034; your new laptop battery to last longer. This is done by charging a new battery to full capacity, and then allowing it to drain completely of power before recharging again. By doing this, you condition youlaptop battery to &#034;remember&#034; the amount of electrical charge it can hold.</p>
<p>Cell phones and BlackBerrys:<br />
When you first get your new cell phone or BlackBerry, you&#039;ll want to fully charge the battery and then completely discharge the battery for about 3 cycles. However, you won&#039;t want to get into the habit of completely depleting the battery. The rechargeable lithium ion batteries in cell phones and BlackBerrys can be damaged by excessive deep discharges.</p>
<p>Instead, get into a routine of plugging in your phone overnight and letting it continue charging even after the icon reads that the battery is full. Cell phones and BlackBerrys should last an entire day without losing charge. If you can&#039;t make it through the day without recharging, it&#039;s probably time for another cell phone battery or BlackBerry battery.</p>
<p>Digital Camera:<br />
The digital camera has become a must-have gadget. Digital cameras have made taking pictures so much more fun and economical than ever before-except in the way of batteries. These little cameras can really soak up the battery power. Many digital cameras operate with AA or AAA batteries and feeding your camera a steady diet of alkaline batteries can add up quickly.</p>
<p>If you haven&#039;t already, invest in a rechargeable battery kit. Every other techno-gadget uses rechargeable lithium ion batteries and your camera can too. The cost of 4 AA batteries is usually between $17 and $24, but well worth the cost as they can be recharged hundreds of times. This way, you can keep enough recharged batteries in your camera case to drop in if your batteries do run out, then recharge the old and use them as spares.</p>
<p>All lithium batteries perform best when they are topped off regularly. Don&#039;t feel like you need to wait until the juice is running low like with the car gas tank. Instead, plug them in for a charge whenever you have the opportunity. Batteries may not seem glamorous, but they&#039;re the powerhouse that allows us to enjoy all of the electronic devices we now wonder what we ever did without. </p>
