High Quality Ship Models Valued as Five Figure Investments

By Reg Hardy Could your HMS Bounty model be your secret path to increased personal bounty? That depends on several things like your modeling ability, your investing ability and your negotiating ability. The real star of “Mutiny on the Bounty” is the ship itself and it is unquestionably the most sought after of the Tall Ships. It is one of the real stars of the website “Tall Ship Models” , a site devoted to becoming the most trusted in the investment community. A site where individuals or corporations can come to buy, sell, or simply admire the beauty of historic ship models. Acting as consultants and brokers, agents have been providing the ship modeling community with the opportunity to expose their works of art for sale to the investment community. It is serious business, these are not your simple $5 Snap-Together-Kits but instead are arduous examples of history preserved to contribute to the culture of days gone by and to the art of today. The Tall Ship Models site recently became a part of the Handcrafted Model Ships family, but will still specialize in investment quality models. “When the time comes to find a buyer for your work, I believe that at TallShip Models.Com we are more than well equipped and versed to market your art to the World. To properly reflect your many, many hours of meticulous modeling and to maximize it’s true value means presenting your work to an appreciative audience,” said Morey Benton, president. There are 62 models on the Tall Ships site ranging in price from $800 for a model of the paddleboat Robert E. Lee to the classic HMS Victory, the Ultimate Model priced at $50,000. The Ultimate Model’s description reads, “its hard to imagine that a model like this really exists. 30 years and over 4000 hours in the making, and is offered for sale exclusively at Tallshipmodels.com. I have personally inspected this outstanding model and am absolutely amazed at the level of detail,” Benton stated. Tall Ship Models are all offered for bid on the site (the bid must be verified by FAX). Each buyer is protected by the Tall Ship Models, Inc. Buyer Protection Plan through an Escrow service which provides a refund if the model is lost, undelivered or not as described. Back to the HMS Victory. She is over 8 feet in length and includes an operating wheel that actually turns the rudder; a removable rear window assembly that exposes the officers quarters and fully functional gun ports for all 104 guns. This article first appeared on the website www.scale-modelers-handbook.com with pictures of the $50,000 HMS Victory. It needs to be seen to be believed. Reg Hardy writes on recreational topics including scale model building and billiards. He is a Veteran and picked up both activities in the service He is currently working on scale models of the HMS Beagle and the HMS Victory.

The Perfect Marriage Proposal Idea

By Brian Kosobucki Nearly 85% of women claim that their marriage proposals were not as good as they had hoped for. Most women dream about their marriage proposals and weddings as little girls, so you can bet that there are some high expectations there. Sure, if it’s true love, they’ll say yes anyway, but what do you do to set your marriage proposal apart from others? It’s really quite easy. It has nothing to do with how much money you spend or how fancy the proposal is. You can have the perfect proposal that costs nothing easily outdo a $20,000 marriage proposal idea. The key is in personalization. Let me say that again so it really sticks with you: personalization. But how do you go about personalizing your marriage proposal? Well, for starters, try to think of the two of you. Try to think of your past, how you met, the fun times you’ve had together, special memories you have, special places that just the two of you know about, etc. When you two talk about yourselves or your past, what comes up? What memories really stand out? If such memories really stand out to you, they’re probably special to her (or him) too. Incorporating those events into your marriage proposal are easy. I don’t care if you have a simple idea or a huge elaborate one — you should always try to somehow include these significant past memories into your ideas. It’s not only romantic, but it’s very memorable. Perhaps you could take her out to eat at the restaurant that you two first met at, go to all the special places the two of you have been over the years, and maybe try doing something special where you two first laid eyes upon one another. Now that’s nothing elaborate, nor is it perfect, but it’s a start. Perhaps you could take her on a huge scavenger hunt covering all of your past memories together? Perhaps you could go to that tree where you two inscribed your initials 10 years ago as kids? Or if you really want something big and elaborate and already have it all planned out, what can you do to personalize your marriage proposal idea? Do the two of you have any inside jokes? Do you know what her ultimate dream is? Does she like big elaborate settings, or more personal one-on-one situations? I could spend hours on possible marriage proposal ideas, but regardless of what you do, make it something special. Make your proposal something unique and memorable. Make her remember why the two of you love one another, and why you want to spend the rest of your lives together. If you need some resources or possible proposal ideas to start with, I suggest checking out these free marriage proposal ideas You can mix and match those ideas to create your perfect proposal. However, you should remember the take home message here — make your marriage proposal personal and unique! Brian runs a site on free Marriage Proposal Ideas with over 100 professional marriage proposal ideas, a diamond ring buying guide, coupons from places like Blue Nile, Mondera, Diamond.com, and so much more!

Ortho Evra Lawsuit & Ortho Evra Birth Control Patch Lawyers for Side Effects

By Todd Going Women trust pharmaceutical companies to protect their health when they choose birth control medications. However, when the Ortho Evra Transdermal Birth Control patch was linked to potentially deadly blood clots, this trust was shattered for nearly one million women across the country. When Ortho Evra was introduced into the market in 2001, it was hailed as a revolution in birth control that allowed women to manage their fertility without having to rely on a once daily pill or painful injection of hormones. Ortho Evra quickly climbed in popularity, and by 2006 nearly four million women have used the patch at some point. The Ortho Evra patch is applied directly to the skin of the hips, buttocks, or thigh, where it delivers estrogen over an extended period of time. Estrogen helps prevent ovulation, but the Ortho Evra patch delivers 60% more estrogen than the conventional pill. Heat from the body causes the patch to release a specific amount of the drug, but if transdermal patches have been known to fail and deliver too much of a drug too quickly, often with devastating consequences. Unfortunately, the Ortho Evra patch suffered from such a defect, and caused a number of women to suffer blood clot-related trauma. Although birth control pills have been known to contribute to the formation of blood clots, studies show that Ortho Evra triples the rates of these potentially fatal medical emergencies. The first fatal incident that could be directly attributed to the patch was a student in New York who collapsed on a subway station in 2005. Tests revealed a blood clot in her leg migrated into her lung, and likely caused a pulmonary embolism. Subsequent autopsies determined that the fatal clot was caused by the Ortho Evra Patch. Ortho Evra is frequently marketed as an equally safe alternative to the daily birth control pill, but more convenient as it only needs to be applied once a week. By the time the FDA discovered the dangers of the Ortho Evra Transdermal Birth Control Patch it had allegedly destroyed the lives of 17 women between 17 and 30 that suffered fatal heart attacks, blood clots and strokes. Lawyers representing the women injured or killed by the patch have pressed a dozen lawsuits against Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary company of Johnson & Johnson. Ortho-McNeil has settled these cases for millions of dollars, and as of April 9, 2006, there are more that 100 more lawsuits still pending.

Compulsive Eating Signs

By Annette Colby Compulsive eating is characterized mainly by periods of impulsive bingeing or continuous eating. Purging (vomiting or laxatives) are not present, but there may be intervals of repetitive diets or fasts. Body weight can range from normal to severe obesity. Compulsive eating is a behavior driven by desire to reduce anxiety rather than by feelings of hunger. Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors reduce anxiety and distress, but they create a self-perpetuating cycle. The eating activity provides temporary relief, but it is followed by further distress in the form of guilt, shame, and disgust. This often leads to a vicious cycle of binge eating and depression. Compulsive eating can be a behavior used to fill a void, suppress uncomfortable emotions, cope with problems or to create a state of numbness to everything that is going on. Triggers can be anxiety, depression, stress, boredom or loneliness, dieting, and low self-esteem. Self-criticism will not stop the eating behavior. Diets make the problem worse. At first there may be some weight loss success, but with the hunger and restriction eventually comes a binge response. This overeating episode brings in feelings of failure and even more depression. Will power will not cure compulsive overeating. Creating rules around eating will not solve the problem. Compulsive overeating is a coping behavior that must be recognized as such and dealt with by learning and incorporating other behaviors which are at least as effective as eating. SYMPTOMS OF COMPULSIVE EATING: (This is not a complete list of signs and symptoms. Nor must a person have every symptom on the list to have compulsive eating behaviors.) * Eating normally in front of others and compulsively overeating alone. * Eating late at night or while others are asleep. * Hiding a private stash of junk food. * Unhappy with body weight. * Always thinking about food. * Eating to feel better. * Not enjoying the food being eaten. * Feeling out of control and unable to stop eating during binges. * Continuing to eat even after feeling full. * Becoming anxious while eating. * A history of diet failures. * Depression. * Feels guilty and ashamed of binge eating. * Worrying while eating. * Eating frantically, barely chewing food. * Hiding food. * Eating secretly. * Bingeing after a diet. * Hunger creates a feeling of vulnerability and uneasiness. If you recognize yourself as a compulsive eater - take heart! There is hope and there is healing. I believe that people with addictive eating behaviors are unique, creative, caring and sensitive individuals who need to find a connection back with their true inner spirit. Recovery occurs as an individual develops a sense of their own spirit and self and body, and a belief that their emotions are valid, important, and worth noticing.

Save Your Fish — Heron-Proof Your Pond

By Brett Fogle Herons are beautiful, graceful, and . . . hungry. When you notice fish vanishing mysteriously, think heron especially in the spring and beginning of summer when new, baby herons need feeding. Grown herons consume almost a pound of fish daily. That amounts to about three, seven-inch, $40 koi of the lower-priced variety. Colorful, flashing fish in a shallow pond tempt herons beyond any far-fetched capability to resist. If you dont do something quickly, your fish will soon be history. Characteristically timid, herons usually make their feeding forays in the quiet hours of early morning or evening. To hamper herons from feasting on your fish, here are some simple solutions. But dont lose your temper and harm or possibly kill one of these protected-species birds. Erecting a net six to twelve inches above the water of your pond proves the most successful method in protecting fish. Tautness is critical, though. Some herons may try landing right on top of it, and when it collapses, will impale fish right through the netting. Gadgets used to frighten herons are fairly effective. With some, when the bird trips a wire, noise scares it away sometimes inaudible to humans, depending on the type. Infrared-detection devices spray jets of water to scare them off. Some people try plastic herons because of the herons territorial reputation and the fact that the birds dont like to feed near other herons. These work pretty well until mating season rolls around. Then these faux herons may actually serve as heron magnets. Limiting heron access to your pond may be the best idea yet. Plant densely growing, tall marginal pond plants around your water garden and make the pond sides steep, with water at least a foot below the pond edge. If the birds cant reach the water, they cant reach the fish, and hopefully, theyll fly off to better fishing luck elsewhere. Brett Fogle is the owner of MacArthur Water Gardens and several other pond-related websites including http://www.MacArthurWatergardens.com and http://www.Pond-Filters-Online.com He also publishes a free monthly newsletter called PondStuff! with a reader circulation of over 9,000.

Men Going In For Plastic Surgery?

By Ricardo Silva Women have historically been the race most likely to take advantage of plastic surgery. To the surprise of many, more and more men are looking to plastic surgery. Men Going In For Plastic Surgery? Mention plastic surgery patients and one immediately thinks of women. The names of procedures such as facelifts and breast augmentation, lend themselves to this assumption. In truth, women make up approximately 80 percent of all plastic surgery patients. Of course, the above figure means 20 percent of the patients for plastic surgery are men. Given the fact there were over 10 million plastic surgery procedures in 2005, two to three million men underwent enhancement procedures. Obviously, plastic surgery for men is no longer a taboo or unmanly option. Men tend to pursue personal enhancements for the same reasons as women. They desire to improve a perceived physical fault or push back the effects of time. The most popular procedures with men are facelifts, nose jobs, eyelid lifts and liposuction for the infamous beer gut. For obvious reasons, breast augmentation is not popular! Although the same titles are used for these procedures, the actual processes undertaken can vary widely from women to men due to the different contours found in the body of each gender. So, why are more and more men turning to plastic surgery? There appear to be a few reasons. Men and women are both living longer. With this increased life expectancy, men tend to work far longer in the past and seek to keep their appearance in order. Even powerful men in the sports world, such as Jerry Jones [owner of Dallas Cowboys] have gone under the knife to improve or maintain their appearance. As society faces the fact that we live longer, the idea of plastic surgery is no longer something that raises eyebrows. While celebrity men regularly undertake it, the rest of us are also getting in on the act. Ricardo de Silva is with PlasticSurgeonPractices.com a directory of plastic surgeons.

Tea for Two (Or More) Party

By Gail Leino A Tea Party may have the reputation of being a calm and quiet gathering, but that doesnt mean it cant be a good time. Use all of the things you do during tea time as inspiration or decorating supplies. Find shapes of tea cups and saucers, cookies, tea pots, flowers. Do you play cards during tea? Do you discuss a book? Do you share gardening tips? The great part about Tea Parties is they can be a party for any age group. Mother/ daughter gatherings, garden clubs or ladies luncheons are all perfect for a tea party. Invite the guests to a comfortable setting such as your home and prepare for a lovely visit. Use a teapot shaped invitation, or a plain paper one and include a tea bag in it. Decorations can be as little or as much as you like. Party supply stores will have every color of balloon or paper goods you need for the kitchen. Instead of games, have the guests prepare their own snacks. Whether it is cheese dip to go with crackers, fruit flavored muffins, or even cookies, the time in the kitchen will be fun interaction. Getting a little messy is a great ice breaker. After food preparation is done and goodies are baking, start an activity. Have a wide variety of fresh flowers on hand to decorate personalized projects. Everyone could make a bouquet, a tussy mussy, or a straw hat with whatever flowers are on hand. This could be done easily with ribbon, floral wire and a hot glue gun. A wreath could be made with a wire or foam base. Another idea would be to plant seeds or transplant flowers. You could decorate the pots, or if you gather for tea say once a month, you could watch the seeds sprout and grow every time you visit. If activities arent your bag, play card games or just visit. Guests can continue to be crafty while sipping on tea and eating the fruits of their own labor when the snacks are ready. No matter what activities you do, keep it simple and light- hearted. You want the activities to be fun, but not overpowering. The end result will be a day of fun conversation and good food. Mrs. Party… Gail Leino is the internet’s leading authority on selecting the best possible party supplies, using proper etiquette and manners while also teaching organizational skills and fun facts.

Every Profile Covered With Unsecured Loan UK

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Andrew_Baker]Andrew Baker When it comes to loan, the one loan that I would be searching for before any other is the unsecured loan. The reason being, with my profile it would be difficult for me to get any other loan so the one viable option left for me is that of an unsecured loan. And the same would be the case for a big chunk of the UK population. This is due to the relative ease with which the unsecured loans are available to all the potential borrowers. As many of us know that the unsecured loans are loans, which are offered to the people who either do not want to offer a security to the creditor or, do not have any security to offer to the creditors. This includes people who are tenants or working class people. The benefits of the unsecured loans are another factor which makes the loans a sought after loan by a high percentage of the UK population. Here is a list of benefits that the borrowers can expect by taking the unsecured loans: Unsecured loans carry low interest rates, though they may be a little higher than the secured loans; now they have become more borrower friendly these days. Low interest rates allow the borrowers to get loans and pay low monthly installments. Usually the unsecured loan is for amount of up to 25000 but in other circumstances it can go up to higher amounts. The loan can be taken for time period starting from 3 years and going up to a maximum of 25 years. The loan is available to people with all kind of profiles. This includes people with bad credit history. There can be other fringe benefits that the borrowers can also avail but that depends on the credit circumstances of the borrower and the prevailing conditions. The borrowers should not make the mistake of taking the loans for granted and then not make their repayments. This can lead to several penalties and result in a poor credit score. So, in spite of the lack of security the borrowers will be able to recover their money if the borrower fails to do the needful. Applying for a loan has now become easier than ever before, all the borrowers need to do is to go online and apply to a creditor dealing with similar loans and apply. The process will include filling up of forms relating to the personal and loan details. Once this is done, the loan decision will be made in a few working days. So, all the UK people who want the unsecured loans can apply very easily for the required loans. Andrew Baker has done his masters in finance from CPIT. He is engaged in providing free, professional, and independent advice to the residents of the UK.

Mobile Auto Detailers and Newspaper Companies as Clientele

By Lance Winslow If you are a mobile auto detailer or mobile car wash company you might wish to think of attaining the local newspaper as a strategic client for your services. Usually newspapers have large staffs, especially daily newspapers. They do everything in house to save costs. They obviously have lots of cars to clean and this means plenty of customers. In fact as a mobile auto detailer or car washer this could be a half a days stop on your route or even a full day depending on the size or the paper. Think of the employees of a newspaper? Newsroom/Editorial Staff Artwork/Layout/Graphic Department Circulation Department Classified Department Printing Department Accounting Department If you are fortunate enough to have a daily newspaper in your area, you probably already know their benefit. They make a great weekly stop and have lots of fleet vehicles to wash. And if you dont have the fleet contract but do wash cars for the staff/personnel, you will eventually pick up the fleet work. Its inevitable. If you know the staff and all the reporters, its easy to get press releases printed. But press releases arent all a newspaper has to offer. There are many other uses to explore such as: Inserts Advertising Calendar Of Events Letters To The Editor Feature Stories Weekly Stops Fleet Washing Classified Ads To Find Labor Press releases As a matter of fact, almost everything you need to know about your community is there. Free publicity has always been the advantage of such small businesses as mobile auto service companies. Mobile detailing is an ultra-high visibility small business and the more visibility you have the more money you will make. As long as you are trying to find good companies to put on your business cleaning route, may as well kill two-birds with one stone and sign up the newspaper; makes dollars and sense.
