Best Ways to Make Serious Money Starting With a Small Investment



Quite often people think that investing is not a viable option for them because of a common misconception that investing is only worth it if you have a considerable amount of capital. I was one of those people, as I thought that investing, making money and a living out of my investment, would require for to have 500K in my bank.

However, I realized that in order to reach the goal of making money and a living out of my money it was not necessary to wait 30 years breaking my neck until I am 65 and I have reached the 500K mark. Indeed, I learned that investing and making a lot of money at it was not about how much capital you have (although it is obvious that more is better), but more about how consistent and effective you are at managing your risk.

This is really the key, and the reason why we agree to put our money in the hands of large institutions, because we presume that they are better fit to manage the risk for us than we are, and this may be right to some extent, but the fact of the matter is that you can also do a great job at it without the need for you to be an expert thus getting far better returns on your investment.

Nonetheless, it is not about jumping into the markets to see if you get lucky, it is about being prepared, because remember, you are not an expert, but you sure need to perform like one. The question is, how?

Simple, you have to learn how to manage your investment yourself, and this is something you can easily achieve by turning to good educational resources and reliable trading tools, both of which will provide you with the ideal mix of know-how and accurate real time analysis to make your investment so profitable that you will need only a small amount of money to start making a lot of it.

Consider for a moment that if you achieve a 20% monthly return on your investment, an initial investment of $200 could turn into $13,249.47 after only 24 months. So you see, you can make serious money with just a little of it and without being reckless; all you will need to make serious money with your investment is know-how and/or a solid investing toolbox, and of course time, which is why starting sooner is key.

There's a double decker bus driving down the street full of passengers, blonde and brunette.

On the lower level of the bus, the brunettes are having a good time, talking, laughing, and singing along to the music playing.

On the upper part of the bus, the blondes are seated, they're in a panic. They're screaming, terrified, and holding onto each other as the bus moves along the street.

Finally, a brunette gets up and walks to the top of the bus to ask whats wrong, and one of the blonde's replies, "what's wrong?!? well, you'd be screaming too if you didnt have a driver!!!"
Art, Graphics & Video / Using Liquid Latex to Create Realistic Wounds and Skin Effects by drjerro(m): 4:06am On Sep 28, 2009
Source: http://ezinearticles.com/?Using-Liquid-Latex-to-Create-Realistic-Wounds-and-Skin-Effects&id=2910666

Ever wondered how to create those realistic scars, wounds and skin effects seen in the movies? You may think it's beyond the average persons capability to create anything as convincing as Brad Pitt's aged skin effects in 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' or the gaping cuts and wounds so evident in 'Zombieland'. Not so. Liquid latex, the main constituent of any realistic skin effect, is relatively inexpensive and readily available, both on-line and at most craft stores. Be sure to read the label before buying liquid latex for skin application and avoid any brands that state 'Not for cosmetic use' or 'Not suitable as body paint'.

Before You Start

Before using liquid latex on your skin you should always patch-test a small area of the skin before beginning your project. Dab a small amount on the back of your hand to check for any allergic reaction. If you experience any discomfort or a rash appears you most likely have a latex intolerance and should discontinue using it. Most people are not sensitive to latex and should be OK but a small percentage of people have reported adverse reactions so it's always advisable to check first to be on the safe side.

The other thing to bear in mind at this stage is that liquid latex will bond to fabric and hair; and it does not come out. Once it comes into contact with your clothes or your carpet it stays there,  forever. The only way to remove liquid latex from hair is to pull it out, which usually brings the hair off the skin with it. You should also ensure it does not come into contact with your eyes or mouth. Needless to say, children should be supervised at all times when liquid latex is around. So a little preparation is necessary but it's well worth it as there's lot's of fun to be had with liquid latex.

When you first open the latex container you will notice a fairly strong smell. That's the ammonia used to preserve liquid latex. Even though ammonia is added to liquid latex in minute doses (approx. 0.3%, depending on the brand) it's advisable to have some ventilation in the area you're working. For best results use a foam make -up sponge or foam brush to apply the latex. Whichever applicator you decide to go with it will need discarding after use. Soaking the applicator in soapy water prior to use will extend it's usage but once liquid latex dries on the applicator not even turpentine will save it from ending up in the bin.

How to Make a Fake Wound

Dab a little liquid latex on the skin, remembering to keep it away from your eyes, hair and mouth; and wait a few minutes until dry. Then gently peel a little of the dried latex away from the skin. This will give the appearance of torn or blistered skin depending on how you manipulate it. The more coats you apply the deeper the appearance of the wound. Drying time for each coat is usually around five minutes or so and can be sped up using gentle heat from a hair-dryer. Each coat should be allowed to dry thoroughly before applying the next or the wound will take much longer to dry. Liquid latex is available in a wide range of colors but is mostly sold as 'clear' or 'transparent' therefore only minimal decoration is usually required to match the end result to individual skin tone. Red food coloring can also be added to give the wound a fresh or infected look.

How to Create Aged Skin effects

Place a small piece of tissue paper on a non-porous surface, such as greaseproof or tracing paper, and coat it evenly with liquid latex. After a minute or so place the tissue paper on the desired area of your skin. Using your chosen applicator, cover the tissue paper with more liquid latex and it will begin to adhere to the skin. As the latex dries it will begin to shrink, causing the skin to contract and form a wrinkled effect. When thoroughly dry, talc & make-up can be used to decorate the area until the desired effect is achieved.

How to Make a Fake Scar

To form the base of your scar take a 1/4" strip of cotton wool and twist it into a long straw shape. Apply some latex to the skin where you want the scar to appear and place the cotton wool on top. Let it sit for a few minutes until it sticks to the skin. With your foam brush or applicator apply two or three even coats of liquid latex over the cotton wool (remembering to allow the latex to dry in between coats) until the desired result is achieved. You will notice the end result has a rubbery, skin-like texture and seems realistic to the touch. Make-up, foundation & eye-shadow pigment can then be applied to blend the scar to your individual skin-tone.

Liquid latex is easily removed from the skin by peeling away. As already explained, if liquid latex has been applied over hair it is likely to pull the hair off the skin which can cause some discomfort.

So there we have it. Now there's nothing to stop you turning into a zombie or fooling your friends with your own realistic home made wounds.

Phones / Nokia Breaks The Mould With The Introduction Of The Nokia Booklet 3g by drjerro(m): 2:03am On Sep 28, 2009
The Nokia Booklet 3G is a break with tradition for Nokia. Historically a mobile phone manufacturer, they have decided to bring to the table all their wisdom and knowledge and pack it all into one of the most advanced and smallest netbooks available. One key element with mini laptops or netbooks is the amount of battery life, however with this new addition to the Nokia range that is not an issue, with up to 12 hours of working time available.

The netbook comes with a whole host of features. Constructed from aircraft grade aluminium and being compact in size means it has already won admirers, even though it is still not available. The unit measures 264 mm x 185 mm wide and is 19.9 mm thick. It uses the Intel Atom Z530 processor which operates at 1.6 GHz and its operating system is Windows 7. The unit is responsive and an ideal work tool with an effective keyboard which makes it simple to input data, unlike some small netbooks.

The netbook comes with a multitude of options to connect to a variety of devices, these include Wi-Fi, Blue tooth and a built in 3G modem, for data calls. This means access to the internet through nationally available hot spots is available and is a useful feature.

The netbook provides a 1.3 mega pixel camera which is often used for a variety of reasons but includes video calling as one of its uses. The netbook comes with integrated GPS with A-GPS as standard, which is unusual in a netbook. Memory storage is large on this netbook with 1Gb of RAM which is DDR2 as well as a 120 Gb hard drive. This ensures that applications are quick to load and the unit has fast response times.

The netbooks display is 10.1 inches with 1280 x 720 pixel display. Inputs integrated within this unit include HDMI 1.2 out for high definition video, 3 off USB ports as well as a 3.5 mm headphone out socket and an SD card reader. Built in stereo speakers and microphone complete the features.

The Nokia Booklet 3G, is similar to other netbooks in several ways, however its unique Nokia styling and raft of features ensures its popularity will be assured. Netbooks or mini laptops as they are sometimes known as have grown in popularity over the last few years and this unit is one which ticks all the right boxes for those looking for a reliable and up to date netbook.
Computers / Speed Up Your Computer - How To Optimize Your Window System And Increase Pc Perf by drjerro(m): 10:15pm On Sep 27, 2009
It is common that most users have found their computers running slower and slower, but some of them do not take it seriously. Instead, they continue to use their PCs without taking any action to solve it. In fact, such tiny problems may pile up and lead to serious consequence. So, you should make conventional optimization from time to time so as to speed up your computer.

There are four steps recommended about how to make conventional optimization to help you in order to optimize your computer system.

Firstly, right-click "My computer" to enter into "System Properties">"Advanced">"Error Reporting" and choose "Disable error reporting" and then click "Startup and Recovery">"Setting", cross "Write an event to the system log", "Send an administrative alert" and "Automatically restart" and set "Write debugging information" to "none".

Secondly, move "My documents" to other districts:
Right-click "My documents"> "Properties"> "Move" and choose a folder outside of the system disks.

Thirdly, move IE temporary folders to other districts:
Open IE browser, click "Tools"> "Internet options" > "General" >"Browsing history"> "Setting" >"Move folder", and choose the locations outside system disks to save such folders.

Fourthly, start DMA mode in the computer hard drive to speed up the hard disk and your computer performance:
Open "control panel" > "Performance and Maintenance" > "system" > "hardware" > "device manager", expand the sub-branch of "diskette driver", double-click the icon of udma hard disk driver into "properties"> "setting" > "options" and tick in the "dma" item. And then click OK to close all dialog boxes and restart your computer.

But, if your computer disk drive is WDC WS1600JS-00NCB1, you may NOT set DMA in diskette drive by the above means. You are supposed to set in "IDE ATA/ATAPT controller". Pull down the menu, right-click "secondary IDE channel" to choose "properties">"advanced setting", and you can set up here. The "main IDE channel" is set in the same way.

The methods mentioned above are just to help you do certain computer optimizations. To holistically increase your PC performance, you need to optimize your registry and clean out invalid, missing and junk registry keys.
