Are You Correctly Located And Faced For Prosperity?

By Alfred Lancer

The title of this article may sound a little strange. What did I mean by located and faced for prosperity?

I must warn that this is not a typical business article. It has nothing to do with marketing, sales, productivity or even the internet.

It is about a branch of Chinese Metaphysics called Feng Shui. Feng Shui, which literally means "Wind Water", is an ancient meta physical science that studies how our surroundings can support us positively or negatively in our pursuit of our endeavors.

Business tycoons in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other parts of the world where there is a significant Chinese minority pay a lot of money to professional Feng Shui practitioners to help them get it right.

In this article I will show you how you too can apply Feng Shui to support your endeavors. Feng Shui is a very large subject with many systems and practices.

I will get you started with a very basic but effective Feng Shui formula called the "Eight Houses". In this system, all of us have a Kua number which is derived from our date of birth and sex.

Click the link below to to find out what your Kua number. http://www.henryfong.com/kua.htm

Depending on our Kua number we are further classified into one of two groups namely the East or West group. If your Kua number is 1,3,4 or 9 then you are a member of the East Group and if your Kua number is 2,6,7 or 8 then you belong to the West group.

For the East group, the favourable directions and sectors are North, South, East and South East while for the West group the directions and sectors are North West, South West, West and North East.

How do you apply this?

If you are a East Group person, you should try to occupy a room in the favorable sector of your office and home. For an East Group person this is either the N,S,E or SE sector.

Once you have found your favorable sector you should then orientate your desk to face one of these favourable directions. Once again they are North, South, East or South East.

If you are unable to find a room in your favourable sector, you should at least ensure that your desk is facing a favorable direction.

That's it.

What are the benefits of facing your favourable directions? According to the ancient classic, you should expect to encounter more money making opportunities, better health and relationships.

But what if you do not? What if you encounter nothing? Why? According to Chinese philosophy, your luck is dependent on a combination of your destiny, luck cycle, Feng Shui and the human factor.

So if you are going through a favorable luck period, maybe nothing will happen, but if you are going through a bad period, then you can expect to face monetary losses, poor health, bad relationships, accidents and break-ups!

What about sleeping? Should you sleep and face one of your favourable sectors and directions? The answer is yes but the facing is based on the crown of the head.

Let's say that you want to face North. You should then sleep in a North-South axis with the crown of the head pointing North and the feet pointing South.

Is that all there is to Feng Shui? Of course not but if you do what I have prescribed above, you have taken the first step to using Feng Shui (or the energy of the environment) to support you endeavors.

All the best. - 39815

Accommodations Are A Vital Aspect Of Vacation Planning

By Alfred Lancer

When making travel plan, one of the most important details is going to be your accommodation. Most people worry and fret over flight plans or rental cars and breeze right through the accommodations and choose the very first room they find available within a reasonable distance from the local airport.

This is very rarely a wise course of action unless you are doing a one-night stay in town and desire to be very close to the airport for the sake of convenience. There are several reasons why this is true. First of all, not all airports are located in the safest area of town. Families tend to prefer nice quiet areas in which to raise their children, airports are generally anything but a quiet area in which to live. While most airport accommodations are reasonably clean, this doesn't really guarantee that they are equally secure.

Second, these hotels and motels often charge a premium rate in exchange for the convenience of their location. In this day and age, we pay for perks and location is most definitely considered a perk in the realm of travel, if in doubt, check the prices for hotels on the Disney property vs. those on the outskirts of town.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, those hotels located closest to airports generally are further away from the area attractions. If you are vacationing with your family you will enjoy much better use of your time by limiting your travel time between destinations and attractions.

The final reason that it isn't always best to choose accommodations close to the airport is that you may find the amenities designed for families to be somewhat lacking. Hotel airports tend to cater to the single in and out business crowd rather than family entertainment. These accommodations will be sparse and the quarters a little closer than the average family would probably appreciate.

Take care when making travel arrangements for your accommodations that you consider all of these things. This will make for a much more enjoyable vacation for you and your children. - 39815

Movie Downloading Is The Right Solution

By Tom Stein

If you love movie downloads and you enjoy the convenience of the internet you are probably one of the many who have accidentally stumbled upon free movie downloads. It's important to realize, well before hitting the download button, that these sites are generally not a good idea.

Most free movie download sites are after your personal information for other purposes. Whether they just want your email address or they are looking for something a little more sinister in nature like your personal information, free downloads violate a whole mess of copyright laws that can land you in a whole world of hot water.

It's ridiculously cheap to join a movie download subscription service. Unlike the movie rental store, a few dollars will get you access to a host of movies that span more than 20 years or even 50 years.

Moreover, because the intention is obvious you can be more assured that you are not flirting with internet danger. The federal violation of copyright laws will give you more headaches than you can imagine, but the movie download subscription sites are straightforward and legal.

The overhead and the overpriced brick and mortar stores that require everything from membership fees to late fees that are completely unnecessary. Joining a movie download subscription site gives you access to more movies than you will ever find in a movie store. You won't have to stand around looking for that one fabulous movie that you can't find. Online services are much more viable for finding all the movies you want, even the old or obscure ones.

If you want the best of the best movies, you are looking for the simple straightforward legal movie downloads that give you access to the full array of movies that have been produced in the United States and around the globe. You won't find this selection in the movie store.

Movie rentals are highly expensive, especially if you enjoy more than just the occasional movie. The rental stores charge for their membership fee, then apply an additional fee for the few days you are permitted to borrow the movie for, and then a few more fees for returning it later than their time stamped preset time frame. This can be as much as $20 per movie.

Watching movies online can make waiting a lot more fun. Whether you're waiting for your flight to board or you are waiting for your girl to come home, the simple act of waiting is made downright enjoyable thanks to the downloaded movie. With the convenience of the internet and the simple to use wireless connection, you can access your movies from anywhere. Literally.

More movie download subscription service websites offer more than just movies these days. Music and games are often part of the deal. With such ease and convenience why would you want to go any other route? Your movies are waiting for you to simply hit the browser button and enjoy.

These services allow you to access movies that have been out for over 20 years as well as the newest releases. No more disappointment when you're looking for that one great flick.

The internet has changed a lot about our daily life. The way we access movies is no exception. We all want to watch the latest and greatest movies. We can either do it the savvy movie download subscription service way or we can over pay through brick and mortar stores. - 39815

Get Free Vacation Within Your Reach Next Month

By Steve Henry

It is not uncommon for middle class families to eschew annual trips, some because they are too busy, some because they are too tired, and others because they simply do not have the spare money to pay for travels.

If we analyze the way they react, their actions seem justified. Going on vacation gets more expensive all the time. This dilemma can be surmounted, however, by researching the many cut-rate travel packages that can be found online and in travel publications. Families must try and explore new destinations which could energies them and provide them with memories which they could cherish.

High airfare is indeed one of the most unsavory aspect which we encounter when we plan our holidays. You have to look for good prices when doing your research. There are various ways to get a discount on your airfare. You might decide to leave in the middle of the week instead of on the weekend. You will need to do some research ahead of time, but there are some great bargains if you look for them. It is always advisable to review discount websites for travelers which often boast the most advantageous offers. A smart idea is to compare the offerings found on multiple websites in order to find the one that best fits your family's needs. Be certain to research ticket prices for the limited number of cut-rate flights, rather than focusing solely on large carriers.

You will also have to think about how much transportation is going to cost once you get to your destination. Whatever mode of transport you select, always strive to bag the best deal available.

By going online and booking a car ahead of time, you should be able to get discounts from car rental agencies. It is important to conduct due diligence on car rental firms, roadside attractions, insurance requirements and anything else related to hiring a vehicle for use on your vacation. If you'd plan your holiday where you would need to stop at different destinations, like traveling in North America or Europe, then you should buy your rail passes early before you start your travel as this will save you some money.

After you reach your destination, you'll have to find a place to stay there. You can get better hotel prices if you travel in the off-season and stay for longer times. You can book for motel coupons thorough internet whereas availing cheap bed and breakfast via yellow pages would not be a problem.

Adventurous types may be interested in visiting national parks in which cabins and tents are available, and which serve as extremely inexpensive accommodations. In addition, if you want to stay for awhile, you will be able to purchase a pass at a discount. - 39815

Hiring A Luxury / Executive Coach To Transport Friends, Family Or Employees

By Mark Walters

There are many reasons for which you might want to hire a coach. Maybe you want to take your employees on a trip somewhere (for work purposes or team building), maybe you want to organize a special day out for your family or friends, maybe you want to go to a sports game in a different city with your fellow supporters. Whatever the occasion, hiring a coach makes much more sense than having everyone make their own way to and from and destination. And, if you are going to hire a coach, why not opt for a luxury or executive one? The cost is still very affordable and you can travel in comfort and arrive in style.

What makes the prospect of traveling by coach unappealing for some people is having to sit bored and hot on a small seat with not enough leg room. That is fair enough, as no-one would find such an experience anything more than unappealing. That is far from the experience provided with luxury / executive coach hire though. The seats are big and soft for starters, and you get enough leg room to be able to stretch your legs right out. You can even sit around a table if you prefer, maybe for a chat or maybe to play cards or something. As for the heat, that will not be an issue as you can rest assured that not only will there be air con but also that it will be in full working order.

Some people have become so reliant on their car that they simply will not contemplate any other option as being worthwhile when it comes to travel. Whilst there are some advantages to going by car instead of coach, there are just as many disadvantages. The cost, for one. A full coach of people will, depending on the distance being traveled, probably end up paying around just $15 per person. With the price of petrol these days, that can result in big savings if you hire one coach rather than take 10 or so cars. Then there is the fact that you can leave all of the work (driving, directions, parking, etc.) up to the coach driver whilst you sit back, relax and chat with your friends.

So, if there is a special occasion or event coming up for which you need to arrange for a lot of people to travel from one place to another, then give some serious thought to luxury coach hire and / or executive coach hire. Finding a coach hire company is easy enough (just search online) and you can make a same day booking. If you prefer, you can just pay a deposit upfront and then pay the balance when you have collected money from the various people who will be traveling with you. You can see photos of the coaches a company has available for hire on their website and you can phone or email them to have any specific questions / requests dealt with.

If you are still not convinced, visit a luxury / executive coach hire website now and you will soon be persuaded! - 39815

Discover Affordable Family Trip In Your Reach This Month

By Robin Peters

Are you feeling like you need to get away? Do you find yourself waking up each morning dreading the reality of another day like the one before? When this feeling sets in, we forget how to enjoy the little pleasures in life, such as serenity, excitement, and just having a good time. Nothing is easy anymore.

Many families have given up on the prospect of going on a vacation, thanks to the dismal economic climate. Even just a weekend excursion can be quite pricey to certain locations. However, if you are able to think outside of the box, and give up some of the amenities that you may have previously expected on a vacation, you will be able to take that family vacation and get it to fit in your allotted budget. There are extravagant vacations that are now available to individuals of various income ranges.

The only problem is, will you ever get a chunk of time when you can enjoy a little slice of heaven here on earth?

You toil all the time, have given your family the best you have, and you only seem to be rewarded with more to do. Then there are the emergencies that crop up, and all of a sudden, the money that you have managed to put away, has to be used in the blink of an eye to deal with these unexpected occurrences.

I'm wondering if you feel the same as I do about not having enough quality time to spend with your loved ones. And, not being able to relish all of the natural beauty that God has put on this planet for us to enjoy. Do you ever just take some time to think about things, relax, and unwind?

When you die, are you going to regret that you worked so much? You might!

Take some time to have fun. Consider it. What could you be doing right now? Our lives are filled with "what if's". In fact, there are so many things that you can't possibly think of them all. I do not want to wonder: what if I never get to experience another tropical sunset, what if I never taste another freshly picked melon, what if I never eat another delectable meal I ordered from room service, or what if I never feel the sand of another exotic beach between my toes. These destinations will still be there, but are you still going to have the time to enjoy them? Are you going to find the time to explore these opportunities rather than work hard for the rest of your life.

Even with the falling value of the dollar, average folks like you and me still have ways to work around the pitfalls of "the way things are." We found an answer, and discovered there was no benefit to us keeping this information from those we know and care about. In fact... this information that we uncovered can help many individuals, even if we don't know them yet. - 39815

Camping Improves Your Surviving Skills

By Dustin Pierce

A day binoculars are good to see objects closer, but, they are no use when you want to use them in low light conditions like during nights, in caves, or in tunnels. You need to have a night-vision enabled binoculars that can do the job for you in lowly lit areas. A night vision enabled device will usually show a green image instead of the true color of the objects. This is because we do not see the objects directly and instead see them on phosphorous screen. During camping children will love the night vision enabled binoculars, as they can see the wild life from a safer distance clearly, without getting too close to them.

Night vision enabled binoculars are multi-purpose. Both kids and adults can use them for fun and professional work like cave exploration, surveillance of your property, fishing and boating during night and in mines. A long drive is usually boring for children and if you give them the binoculars, it will keep them entertained both during the night and the day.

There are different generations of binoculars and the generation is a measure of the quality of the image that you see. A 1st generation binoculars needs a lot of light to show you a reasonable clarity picture. But, the 3rd generation binoculars are the best among the lot. Even with a small amount of light, a clear image can be seen. The second generation is in between the two generations in terms of clarity. You can choose cheap night vision binoculars after looking into the magnification, gain specifications. Night-vision binoculars will not extend well if the distance of the object being viewed is far away. The general clarity of the night vision devices will be less compared to the normal binoculars.

And the binoculars could be mounted on a headgear to keep your hands free. This could be useful, if you are boating during night. A cheaper option for you is to buy a night vision monocular which is small in size and is much cheaper compared to binoculars. But, there is no lack of features compared to binoculars. So, set out and buy a monocular / binocular that suits your needs.

Camping can be made more enjoyable, if you bring the best equipment with you. To be sure, always buy those equipment that have the best quality as possible. - 39815

Buying Art Supplies Online For Artists

By Mark Ferguson

Artists are always searching for the best shops to buy their own art supplies. Either you are a professional artist or just beginning to learn about art, you need to buy good quality supplies and tools to create a good quality art that is both beautiful and long lasting. Buying art supplies online is a new trend among artists because of its convenience.

The first advantage of shopping online is getting lower price for the same item. Brick and mortar shops need to pay expensive rent, maintenance, and electricity cost, which make their prices higher than online shops which have lower overhead cost. Online shops also offer lower price if you buy in bulk.

It is very easy to browse the wide range of brands, colors, and tools when you shop online. You can also compare the price and availability from several shops at the same time with just a few clicks.

Finding coupons or offers is also easier in online shopping. Just use the search function to find a coupon or offer, or go to your bookmarked coupon site. These offers and coupons will help you get lower price.

Online shopping is very convenient and time saving because you can do it in the comfort of your own home. After you pay, the order will be sent to your home. You save a lot of time because you do not have to ride a bus or drive to a store. You also save the gas, parking, or bus money, which you can spend elsewhere.

Online shopping is now safer than ever. In the past, people are worried about credit card thefts or scam. However, most online shop now uses layered security measures to ensure the safety of your financial information, either it is your credit card, debit card, or your general private information. Some stores use third party payment processing services such as Paypal, Google Checkout, or Amazon Checkout.

One thing to note when you shop for art supplies online is to read their frequently asked questions and shop policies. Some things you have to pay attention to are their shipping policy, refund policy, and sales tax. - 39815

Buying A French Residence? Useful Ideas To Guide You

By Ernst P. Kreyszig

It is a cliche to say that the French always do things in a different way from the Brits. The French change it around and say the Brits do things in a different way to everyone else. But just like all cliches there's a fundamental truth.

Disclosing problems in a house purchase is a very good example. The underlying principle in English law is "buyer beware" - put simply, it is up to the customer to determine the nature of what he is buying. A vendor isn't allowed to misrepresent: however, if someone sells "a house" he is not thereby required to inform the customer exactly what is wrong with it. It is up to the buyer to inspect and find out.

This is the underlying reason for the advisory providers encompassing a English property purchase. A surveyor will give you a professional inspection designed to uncover any hidden flaws. A solicitor will take a look at the legal factors, carry out local searches, raise a large list of queries and summarise the ramifications. When a purchaser is content he knows everything concerning the property that there is to know, he will feel able to move forward.

Vice cache

In France the onus is put on the vendor. The buyer is not expected to undertake any serious analysis. The notary will provide him with evidence of title and details of any registered costs and 3rd party legal rights. But apart from that the vendor must act "in good faith" and also to disclose flaws in the house. A deficiency that's deliberately not disclosed by the seller, and which subsequently materialises, is referred to as a vice cache or hidden defect. The customer can turn upon the vendor after the sale and require either a reduction in price or perhaps a cancellation of the transaction.

What sort of things are we discussing? In essence, anything that makes the property inadequate for the expected use, or which makes the use so different from that which was intended that the purchaser wouldn't have bought it, either at the value arranged or at all. This might be something outside the property itself - such as too much noise in the neighbourhood. Or it might be an internal issue, like a falling wall that the vendor has concealed.

In practice, there is generally a component of deceit required if a claim is to work. Purchasers are expected to undertake a degree of inspection, just like any prudent person would. Additionally, the many reports that the seller must provide (termites, asbestos, electrical installation etc.) eliminate legal responsibility as regards matters covered inside the reports.

Taking things on trust

A foreign purchaser, bemused by the workings of the French system, not to mention the language, tends to depend on the integrity of the individuals he's working with. If he is told that the seller needs to tell him of all defects he might be relaxed. But he'd be foolish to depend on it without examination and verification. First, he might not understand what he is told. Secondly, once he has paid out his money he will have to undertake court proceedings in France in order to obtain redress. Thirdly, the vendor might have disappeared over the horizon. Fourthly - well, you get the drift.

Unlike what many French believe, buyers of property in France are not particularly well protected. The notary will advise as well as he can, but he is supervising a transaction rather than taking one side in opposition to the other. The system of liability for hidden defects gives an ex post facto remedy that may be difficult to enforce.

Solutions

It's all very well pointing out a challenge, but what of the solution? Appointing a UK legal agent versed in French law may help, but in my experience it tends to complicate the chain of communication and build more uncertainty compared to reverse. I am more in favour of people exercising basic good sense. The notaire will examine title, to ensure that should not be an issue. Getting a survey from a UK-qualified surveyor resident in France ought to remove any niggles concerning the solidity of the construction. As for other matters, you shouldn't be bamboozled by estate agents neglecting concerns of yours until they have given a reason that you fully understand. And for those who have any serious concern, obtain the answer in writing.

The fundamental rule in this as in other key decisions is to make sure you understand what is at stake and take adequate time to make a sensible decision, without being overinfluenced by emotion or people with other interests at heart.

Sounds easy, doesn't it? Now let me try out your resolve by showing you a dream of a Dordogne chateau that will make your heart overrule your head... - 39815

Affordable Used Cars Discovered

By Ryan Fisher

If you tell me you've never dreamt of a car that has much to say when seen, then you are lying. Don't be thinking of regular new cars that are exceptionally beautiful. The cars I'm talking about are those personalized cars that are unrecognizable after the makeover. The discussion is about cars that can be watched on TV, driven by an eccentric celebrity, cars that remind with nothing of the original model they come from.

Manufacturers of these cars want to sell them in auction, because they want to see how many interested people they can find. Of course, the prices are in perfect accordance with the manufacturer's reputation and name. The good news is that in these auctions you can also find less famous producers. Even if we've never heard of them, many car workshops customize cars for a living. Car that get personalized by small workshops and are not made for a specific purpose or customer will also be sold in car auctions.

On special events, you might even be able to attend a special kind of car auctions witch sells only luxurious cars. And since the Internet is a true world wonder, it will be the preferred location if you want to search for such an auction. If such a car auction is held near your home town, you should go take a look even if you think you won't be able to place any bids.

You will find there for sure the small workshop's cars, witch will be low priced compared to other customized cars. And the best thing about these cars is that they won't be an interest point for those who came ready to buy themselves cars that cost hundreds of thousands, simply because those people only bid on cars developed by well-known workshops. You can also orientate towards luxurious cars sold by individuals, like used Chrysler imperial and this cars will also don't offer much concurrency, so there's a good chance of getting a good price.

It's a total game of luck with customized cars, and you have nothing to lose if you place moderate bids. You might even end up going home with a car fit for a rock star, just because you decided to spend $1000 in a car auction. - 39815

Japan MMA Flashback: Aoki Dominates JZC At DREAM 2

By Ross Everett

After a controversial no contest in their first matchup, there was no doubt as to the winner of the DREAM 2 rematch between Shina Aoki and JZ Calvan. Aoki controlled the fight from the opening bell and used a wide repertoire of submission attempts to keep his opponent off balance and on the defensive.

Aoki scored early with a takedown and controlled Calvan on the ground, working a heel lock attempt before taking his opponents back and attempting a rear naked choke. He was never able to complete the hold, but maintained a bodylock on JZC for the rest of the round. In the second, Aoki put on a submission clinic and demonstrated his ungodly flexibility as he spun from an armbar to a triangle choke and back again. Calvan was able to counter or escape, but looked completely out of sync as he generated almost no offense whatsoever over the 15 minutes.

Aoki was very emotional in his postfight speech to the crowd, while JZC just looked disgusted with himself for losing such a one sided contest.

With the victory Aoki advances to the semifinals of the lightweight GP tournament. Aoki has made some statements in the Japanese press leading up to the fight that win or lose there would be no way hed be ready for the next round with only half the preparation time as the rest of the field. Hopefully the impressive victory and the enthusiastic response from the holiday week Tokyo crowd will change his mind.

The rest of the card was devoted to the opening round of the middleweight GP tournament. Taiei Kin defeated Minowa-man Ikuhisa Minowa in a very closely contested and entertaining fight. Despite Kin taking a 3-0 unanimous decision (DREAM judges, like their PRIDE predecessors, judge the fight in its entirety) the first round could have gone either way. Minowa was clearly tired in the 2nd, and that likely sealed the deal for Kin.

Korean judoka Yoon Dong-Sik also advanced with a unanimous decision victory over Shungo Oyama. Most of the damage in this fight came from Yoons ground and pound from full mount, and he controlled the tempo from the outset. Two one sided contests followed, with Zeleg Galesic submitting Magomed Sultanakhmadov via arm bar in a minute and a half of the first round. That was followed by the MMA debut of former Pac 10 wrestling standout Ian Murphy, who had a worst case scenario draw against BJJ specialist Ronaldo Jacare. From the opening bell it was clear that Murphy was in over his head, and the result was as one sided a contest as youll ever seen on a major MMA show. After withstanding a beating and several arm bar attempts Murphy finally tapped to a rear naked choke. - 39815

With Free Movie Downloads Watch Out For Viruses

By Charmaine Chan

There are hundreds of internet advertisements promising free movie downloads of any film ever made - from A to Z - at just one click of a link. And there are times when a person can find something on the internet for their children, and something for themselves to watch later - and get them both for free. However, it's wise to be extra cautious these days - especially when wandering the internet in search of "free" goodies such as movie downloads. So keep the following in mind while attempting to find your favorite films for nothing, and maybe your internet home theater vacation won't become an online adventure from hell:

Make sure the movies are really free - Nothing is more annoying than going through pages of sites advertising film download giveaways, finally finding one and then wasting more time on a five page "free membership" form - only to find out it will cost you, just like anything else. "Free" in this case means you get a "free seven day trial" movie membership, but not until you pay for three months of membership in advance. To say this is highly irritating, is sugar-coating it.

To prevent this from happening, search the internet with key words like "totally free movie downloads". This should bring up any sites that are really offering free movies and free membership sign-up. This will save you a considerable amount of time, and annoyance, in wading through deceptive advertisements.

Be prepared to run into snafus everywhere - Once you actually find a free film site, the next job is to locate a download link that will get you what you want. Although sometimes you can find one immediately, and it goes off without any problems, most of the time you'll have to put in some leg work to get it. You may run into things like broken download links, or ones that lead you to other sites so you can purchase their "free" movie torrent program, or worst of all - to the announcement that the page you want is no longer available.

Know the basics about your operating system - When you do locate a live link to your movie download, you may then be asked to pick the one that corresponds with the operating system your computer is using. It's wise to know at least the name of your OS program, so you don't accidentally choose a download with data your computer can't read that will cause you to miss your movie - and may even crash your system.

Use a portable flash drive - Because of the many viral and hacker threats to computers systems and personal information these days, always use a flash drive to download internet goodies whenever possible, and be sure to scan each of them before viewing what they contain. This is especially important if your computer doesn't already have a good virus counter-attack program installed on it.

It's smart to make it a practice of saving anything from the internet to a portable flash drive - especially things like movies - and then scanning it for any errors before opening it up on your computer. If you don't have access to one of these drives, then save the file to a folder on your computer's hard drive, making sure to scan it before attempting to view the contents.

When you find those sites offering free movie downloads, be aware that they don't always mean "free" in the literal sense. Many an internet surfer has jumped to accept something they thought would cost them nothing, only to find out that they'd be paying for it in more ways than one, somewhere down the road. - 39815
