FREE List Builder ? The Viral Secret Review | Find New Articles at ...

I have been hearing alot about this new FREE service (The Viral Secret) that helps you build your email list.? I have come across a lot of list builders that really work like Viralurl and ListJoe.? Now The Viral Secret has popped up on the list building radar.? Is this list builder legit or is it just another service that claims to give you the world?

I joined The Viral Secret last week and I have to say that its not a bad product especially if you are a new beginner looking to builder your list for free.? In a weeks time I have generated about 70 leads to my list which is about 7 leads a day.? Not to bad for a free list building service.

The Viral Secret is a service created by Russell Brunson which I?m not a real big fan but I have purchased a couple of his products like The 12 Month Internet Millionaire and Do You Suck At Making Money?? The concept is very interesting but if you look at the big picture he helps his guru friends as well as himself build their list first.? If you want to sign up you have to accept joining 6 other lists of other marketers.? The good things is you are not required to stay on their lists so you can unsubscribe at any time.? I will warn you that there is an up sell of $ 97 that will be presented to you but it is not required.? The up sell can benefit you in the long run if you decide to purchase it.? They provide alot of list building training with other marketing methods added as well.

The Viral Secret set up process is very simple if you decide to join.? The only requirement is too purchase Aweber unless you already have the service.? There are video tutorials that walk you thru the entire process.? You will shown how to setup your autoresponder and how to setup your Aweber list.? You will learn how to create follow up messages in your autoresponderand you will also learn how to market to build your list.

In my opinion The Viral Secret is a great way to build a list for free.? I wouldn?t use it as my only list building resource but it gets the job done.? If you are a beginner then I would recommend using it for starters.? If you get in now you should benefit from it (especially if the 6 guru?s advertise it to their huge lists.)

What happened to the offenses?

We?re 10 days into the 2012 postseason and the American League finalists can?t hit, the Nationals League contenders can?t get any starting pitching and none of the teams still playing seem to be any better than the ones that were eliminated.

Here are the hitting lines of the four teams still standing:

Detroit: .258/.299/.351, 3 HR, 20 RBI in 248 AB
New York: .205/.277/.326, 6 HR, 20 RBI in 258 AB

St. Louis: .249/.342/.438, 9 HR, 40 RBI in 233 AB
San Fran: .196/.270/.332, 5 HR, 20 RBI in 199 AB

If these were actual regular-season player lines, the Cardinals would be a fringe regular as a corner outfielder and the other three would be riding the pine. The Yankees have scored fewer runs in their seven games than the NLDS-losing Reds did in five games.

The AL contenders have combined for 198 hits and 239 strikeouts so far. Obviously, that?s not the norm. In the regular season, AL teams had 20 hits for every 17 strikeouts. In the postseason, it?s been 20 hits for every 24 strikeouts.

Overall, AL hitters are batting .218 and slugging .310 this postseason. To put that in perspective, Justin Verlander limited major league hitters to a .217 average and a .306 slugging percentage this season. So, essentially, every AL pitcher this month is Justin Verlander.

The NL, on the other hand, hasn?t had it so bad for offense. Not early in games anyway. What is odd is just how bad the starters are getting roughed up, especially with four of the league?s top five rotations represented. Going by ERA, the Nationals had the NL?s best rotation this year, followed by the Dodgers, Cardinals, Reds and Giants. And yet?

Cardinals starters: 2-2, 4.22 ERA
Reds starters: 1-2, 4.30 ERA
Nationals starters: 0-2, 5.25 ERA
Giants starters: 1-3, 6.49 ERA

Outside of Washington?s, the bullpens have been far more effective, which is fortunate since they?ve so often needed to cover five innings per game. The Cards? bullpen has a 1.80 ERA in 30 innings. The Giants are at 2.51 ERA in 28 2/3 innings.

So, what are we left with 10 days in? The AL?s best offensive team has a .650 OPS, a mark that would have rated the worst in the major leagues this season. NL starting pitchers are 4-8 with a 4.92 ERA, which is a worse ERA than every NL team besides the Rockies posted this year. And for all of the exciting games, it?s hard to argue that we?ve actually seen a great caliber of play from any of these teams this month. While there have been thrills and chills, it hasn?t exactly been a showcase.

Stealth Survival: Knife Carry Options - Fixed Blade or Folder

Stealth Survival: Knife Carry Options - Fixed Blade or Folder skip to main | skip to sidebar

Knife Carry Options - Fixed Blade or Folder

When choosing the basic type of knife for your carry needs, it usually comes down to the choice of a basic folder or a fixed blade. Both types of knives have their advantages and disadvantages and your choice will most likely be decided based upon two main factors: your environment or the intended use of your knife. It is quite obvious that the need for a knife will be different depending upon your environment. In most urban environments, a folder will be a better choice for the majority of practical uses. The quality and dependability of many folders has increased to the point that many are solidly constructed and can function almost as well as a fixed blade knife. It will also be less likely to raise the level of concern by your neighbors or local LEO?s that could arise with the sudden appearance of a large fixed blade.? While the more serious outdoorsman or hunter will probably be better served by a good fixed blade, the average hiker or camper can probably survive most situations with a good quality folder. Many knife-makers even realize the advantages of both types of knives and are now offering combo units that allow for the carry of both a folder and a fixed blade in the same sheath. While easier to carry because of its compact nature, a folding knife, unlike a fixed blade, can also be harder to keep clean and be more susceptible to the effects of dirt and debris which could affect its functional qualities. The other area in which a fixed blade would also be more advantageous would be in a combat situation. This is a very specific use and generally wouldn?t be of concern to the average person that is not involved in a combat situation.

The Intended Use of Your Knife Most cutting chores of a routine nature can be safely and adequately fulfilled by a good quality folding knife. Most non-routine cutting chores will be more likely to require a decent fixed blade knife to get the job done. Obviously, a folding knife won?t be as efficient as splitting kindling as a fixed blade in an outdoors or wilderness environment. On the other hand, a large fixed blade probably won?t be necessary to open a bag of charcoal in an urban environment. While most people give little thought to a farmer carrying a machete, it will seriously upset your neighbors if you try carrying one around in an urban neighborhood. If you are apt to find yourself in a combat situation on a regular basis, you may want to consider a fixed blade as your main carry option. A fixed blade will generally be, but not always, easier to deploy in a defensive manner. The type of sheath that your fixed blade is carried in and the style of clothes you are wearing will affect the deployment of your blade. A folder will quite often require one to two additional steps before it can be effectively used in a combat situation. These two steps generally include the release of your folding blade and quite often a shift in your grip to obtain better control after removing it from your pocket. While the choice of whether to carry a folder or a fixed blade will be largely a matter of personal preference, it doesn?t hurt to consider the effects of your environment or the intended use of your knife before making that choice. Staying above the water line!

Euro zone mulls new ways to cut Greek debt mountain

TOKYO (Reuters) - Euro zone officials are considering new ways to reduce Greece's huge debts because delays to reforms by Athens and continued recession have put the target of a debt to GDP ratio of 120 percent in 2020 out of reach, euro zone officials said.

A Greek debt sustainability analysis prepared by the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Commission in March forecast Greek debt would rise to 164 percent of GDP in 2013 from around 160 percent in 2012 under a baseline scenario assuming the Greek economy would stop contracting next year.

But Greece now expects its economy to shrink by 3.8 percent in 2013, its sixth consecutive year of contraction, boosting its debt ratio to 179.3 percent.

"At the moment it looks like Greece's debt level will rise to well above the target of 120 percent of GDP by 2020," ECB Executive Board member Joerg Asmussen told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.

To bring it back towards the desired level in 2020, Greece could organize voluntary buy-backs of its bonds, he said.

The money could not come from the ECB, but it could be lent by the European Stability Mechanism, for example, one senior euro zone official, who was in Tokyo for the weekend meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, said.

Because Greek bonds trade at very deep discounts, one euro of money borrowed from the ESM, the euro zone's permanent bailout fund, could reduce Greek debt by 1.5 euros, the official said.

A second euro zone official said that while borrowing from the ESM would in itself increase Greek debt, there was another way to reduce it.

"What could change the overall level of debt is that, at some later stage, when banks can be directly recapitalized by the ESM, we could convert some of the euro zone loans for bank recapitalization into equity and this could help the debt ratio, but this is not going to happen before the end of next year," the second official said.

The euro zone's temporary bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, has already lent Greece 25 billion euros to recapitalize banks, and 23 billion more is awaiting disbursement.

The 48 billion euros would be a sizeable chunk of Greece's total debt, currently estimated at around 330 billion euros.

Greek government spokesman Simos Kedikoglou said several options were on the table. "The ECB, which holds Greek government bonds, could satisfy itself with lower interest rates on those bonds," he told the Sunday edition of the Greek Realnews newspaper.

"Or, it could agree to roll them over when these bonds mature. Also, the recapitalization of Greek banks could take place directly through the ESM as is currently being considered for Spain."

Another ECB Executive Board member, Benoit Coeure, said the central bank would not consider rescheduling the Greek debt portfolio it held -- a suggestion repeatedly made by Athens.

The second euro zone official said Athens could also use proceeds from the privatization of state-owned assets to retire debt.

"The privatization process is finally kicking in, the structure is ready," the official said. "You could expect a few billion euros from privatization to buy back debt. This could happen relatively quickly."

The debt sustainability analysis from March estimated Greek privatization revenues by 2020 at 45 billion euros, with 12 billion coming in 2012-2014.

The IMF is pushing for euro zone governments to restructure the debt that Athens owes to them -- almost 53 billion euros lent under Greece's first bailout program and 14.4 billion already disbursed under a second bailout.

The euro zone could also further lower interest on the loans for the first program, which now stands at 150 basis points, or lengthen the loan maturities or increase the moratorium time when interest does not have to be serviced.

But officials said there was little appetite among euro zone countries for a restructuring of official sector loans to Greece.

To help Greece return to growth, the euro zone and the IMF are discussing giving Athens an extra two years to reach a primary surplus of 4.5 percent of GDP, pushing back the date to 2016.

Greece has said two extra years would cost 13 billion to 15 billion euros and officials said the euro zone realizes it will need to come up with the money.

But no decision on the financing has been reached yet.

South Africa police and protesters clash near mine shaft

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters hurling petrol bombs after a march on an Anglo American Platinum mine turned violent overnight, the latest sign of festering labor unrest.

Africa's top economy is under increasing pressure to mend industrial relations. Almost 100,000 workers, mostly in mining, have launched often illegal and violent strikes since August, eroding investor confidence and already shaky growth.

Truck drivers signed a wage deal on Friday ending a three-week strike that squeezed deliveries of fuel, cash and consumer goods. But that step forward was quickly overshadowed by a Standard & Poor's downgrade of South Africa's credit rating.

About 1,000 protesters gathered on Friday night in a shanty town near Rustenburg 120 km (70 miles) northwest of Johannesburg and marched toward Amplats' Khomanani 1 shaft, the South African Police Service said in a statement.

"Tear gas and rubber bullet rounds were used to disband the overzealous group," it said.

The crowd responded with petrol bombs, damaging one police vehicle, police said. There were no reports of injuries and four people were arrested.

Amplats, as the company is known, is the world's top producer of platinum. Striking leaders from Amplats and other mines met on Saturday to discuss strategy.

"All of the mines that you know are striking, their (strike) leaders are here," labor leader Evans Ramokga told Reuters. "Right now we are talking about the way forward... We are not afraid of dismissals."

Amplats, which has said it is losing an average of 3,800 ounces of production for each day of the strike, has fired 12,000 wildcat strikers. Other mining firms have followed suit.

More than 50 people have been killed in labor-related unrest in the last two months, including 34 shot dead by police at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine on August 16 in the deadliest security incident since the end of apartheid.

IMPALA MARCH

Hundreds of miners marched on the headquarters of Impala Platinum in Johannesburg on Saturday to deliver a list of demands to the company.

"We are here, we are at Impala," Lesiba Seshoka, a spokesman for the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), told Reuters by telephone as miners cheered and chanted in the background.

Seshoka put the number of marchers at 2,000, but the company said it was close to 400. A spokesman for Implats said the union's demands were not wage-related and had to do with other contract issues.

Kumba Iron Ore, one of the world's major producers of the steel-making ingredient, said on Friday it would seek criminal charges against illegal strikers who refuse to stop their occupation of its Sishen mine.

The strikers have seized about 3.3 billion rand ($380 million) worth of heavy equipment, including 88 haul trucks and 13 pieces of other equipment, including bulldozers.

The weeks of strikes have undermined confidence in South Africa's economy and the government of President Jacob Zuma, which critics say has been slow to respond.

Ratings agency Standard & Poor's cut South Africa's credit rating by one notch on Friday to BBB with a negative outlook, saying the strikes and social tensions could reduce fiscal flexibility and damage growth.

Police on Friday arrested two men for the killing of a NUM branch secretary, which NUM's spokesman has said was done in "execution style". Two workers at different shafts of Lonmin's Marikana mine were arrested, local police spokesman Thulani Ngubane said.

The six-week strike at Lonmin in August and September erupted out of a turf war between the NUM and the more militant Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), which accuses the NUM of selling out workers. ($1 = 8.6259 South African rand)
