I recently became a member of a savings and benefits club that allowed me to save on everyday purchases.

Additionally there is an extensive list for professional services such as dental, hearing, vision, doctor
visits that you can save money on.

Although I do not purchase medications I do buy pet meds which are reduced in price through our membership with significant savings even after shipping cost included [when they apply.] Shopping online saves time and [gas]money, I prefer the convenience of products shipped to my door versus dealing with errands and traffic.

Finding ways to save on the family budget and getting the most value for our purchases has become more important these days for many families with increased cost of living expenses & income earners laid off or jobs eliminated.

Another feature to your membership is savings for office visits on medical, dental, vision etc. Reduced costs can save families money that have lost employee insurance benefits.

Simply print out your membership ID card which is valid for the entire family. When Contacting these DISCOUNTED PROVIDERS, please have your Discount Card with MEMBER ID Available. This is NOT Insurance.

The 'Savings Spider' lists all in one location national discounts (varies by region) on commonly bought goods from groceries to toiletries. Weekly specials are listed with additions for promotional free items or 'double value' coupon promotions.

CVS
There are a number of items on sale weekly that will be FREE after ECB. This is a great time to stock up on more school supplies. An ECB is an Extra Care Buck coupon that prints out at the bottom of your CVS receipt when you buy qualifying items. It's like an instant rebate. Instead of sending away to get your rebate, it prints out right after you buy the product.

Walgreens
Walgreens also has a rebate program called Register Rewards. Just like ECB's, the coupon (called a Register Reward and also known as an RR) prints out at the end of the transaction.

Rite Aid
Rite Aid has a rebate program called Single Check Rebates (SCR). With this program, you purchase the rebate items listed in the monthly single check rebate booklet . If you use a manufacturer coupon to lower the cost, you will still receive the full rebate amount listed in the booklet (unless otherwise specified). Sometimes this means you make money on the item. If the toothpaste is on sale for $2.99 and the rebate amount is for $2.99, it will be free after rebate. If you also have a $1 manufacturer coupon, you only pay $1.99 at the register (plus tax, if applicable) but you will actually receive the full $2.99 rebate. That's known as a money maker!

Need something from the mall? Why drive and hassle with traffic and parking? Participating stores from [A-Z] Automotive Warehouse to (Z) Walmart pay cash back dividends on every purchase.

Much older than a puppy.

In my opinion, shock collars shouldn't be used to *teach* anything - they should be used to *proof* what has already been taught by positive training, rewards (not just treats) and corrections.

Goodbye, fat burning zone myths: Burn fat the practical way

Myths say that a fat burning zone on the cardio equipment (e.g. a treadmill) is most effective when the workout is less intense. A tempting concept that everyone attempts until one day the truth shows up in broad daylight. This gets a thin-lean-wannabe chill out and read magazines in the time he or she is supposed to sweat it out. The bottom line is: Fat burning zone is a concept that has serious flaws. Watching the fat melting down while you stare at the TV is possible only when global warming reaches its heights.

So let's get down to the facts – burning fat in higher percentages is inversely proportional to working out at lesser intensities. If lighter workouts translated to burning more of the accumulated fat, you would do that while you are at rest. On the first place, you wouldn't have got fat only. The only way to an effective fat reduction is by burning the calories, which, by no means is possible sitting on your couch. And burning the calories is proportional to physical activities.

So get off of your treadmill and stop quitting after the aerobics are over; they are fine as long as you want to warm yourself up for the next BIG things. Without a proper resistance training regime (preferably in a super set / circuit form) featuring intense work periods with short resting periods, burning fat effectively stays a ludicrous concept.

If you still are not convinced, then let's talk logic. Assume yourself being exposed to a story of blood and gore everyday; while on the first day you loathe it and even suffer some sort of nervous breakdown, over time, you get used to the intensity of the graphical details and after sometime, you grow used to it. The body behaves in a similar manner; it requires higher degrees of shock to keep the fat burning. Else, it adjusts itself and things go back to the square one. Resistance training provides that shock, since intensities increase over the sets and the body struggles for energy. It burns the calories from fat for obtaining the required energy and that continues even during the resting period. A steady workout like cardiovascular exercises never provides this afterburner mechanism. Moreover, resistance training comes with the benefits of cardio-s and aerobics bundled into it; a heart rate record of a post-superset resistance session proves that. Therefore, as long as you do not show symptoms of hypertension or heart-related disorders, sticking to a cardio/aerobics regime is not going to shower you with benefits, simply because they fail to make all the 600 muscles of the body work properly in any given 3 dimensional plane.

Chess is a very popular game played by two players on a specifically designed chessboard. The game, as we know it today, emerged in the southern part of Europe during the 15th century. An older Indian game was the basis for the chess we know today.

The game of chess is being enjoyed globally in tournaments, at home, in clubs and online. It is a game that strengthens relationships between family and friends, especially when mentoring is involved.

Today people use all sorts of chess sets and boards with different themes etc. All chess boards have sixty-four squares which in most cases are black and white. You can find chess sets and boards in different shapes and variations and there are also themed chess sets.

A folding chess set, for example is one variation of a chess set, which many people who play chess for fun, find very useful. For people that want to be able to play chess everywhere they go, special travel sets have been made which are a bit smaller in size. This kind of set could be perfect if you are going on a vacation or camping since it doesn't need much space and it is easy to use. Folding and travel chess sets are usually made of some variation of wood.

Magnetic chess sets are also a quite popular variation of the chess sets because the pieces are kept on the board more easily. The magnetic chess sets come in various shapes and sizes and can be made from materials like metal. The chess pieces are magnetized and adhere to the board by a metal plate fitted under the board. You can play with a magnetic chess set in the car, train, plain, or space shuttle! Well, you might have to be a bit careful when the shuttle is launched, but you probably understand what I'm saying.

Today you can also find electronic chess computers and chess sets which are quite popular and convenient. Electronic chess sets give you nice options like saving and storing games which is great because you can easily continue on another day. Most electronic chess sets or computers allow a player to play against a computer controlled opponent which means that you can practice prior to playing against a real player and that you never have to try hard to find an opponent. Playing against a real opponent with your electronic chess set or computer is of course also possible.

It doesn't matter which kind of chess sets and boards you decide to play with, the rules will remain the same.

The first thing you should know is that the person with the white pieces starts the game.

Each player has an equal amount of pieces – eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, a king and a queen.

The goal of the game is to checkmate the other player's king which results in a win. "Checkmate" means that the king cannot move away from an attack. Chess is also known as a war without bloodshed. Many people from across the globe enjoy the game of chess.

A company projects its brand in many ways: its logo, Web site, advertising, office and even employee attire. Yet with such an emphasis on developing an appropriate small business marketing strategy, it is surprising that one of the most active customer touch points is often ignored.

The phone call still reigns as the primary mode of interaction between small businesses and their customers. If there is a problem, most entrepreneurs will pick up the phone to quickly fix the problem rather than use a channel, like e-mail, that requires them to wait for a response. As a result, your company's voice brand is an important aspect of maintaining the image you want to convey.

Everyone has experienced the call. You pick up the phone to call a business and immediately wish you hadn't. Whether being met with an inept staff member, a shockingly foul-mouthed representative or someone who provided grossly inaccurate information, odds are you've experienced an ignored voice brand.

What Is a Voice Brand?

Simply put, your company's voice brand is the image it provides through the spoken word. Marcus Graham, author of Voice Branding in America, provides a more in-depth account of establishing an optimal small business marketing message:

"It's the unique combination of voice talent, words, call flow and spirit that greets and guides callers. The voice brand is largely experienced over the telephone today, but that's changing. With the telephone, computer and television morphing into similar multi-function devices due to digital convergence, a company's voice brand is being heard on Web sites, multimedia CD ROMs, kiosks, cards, point of purchase devices and who knows what else."

Crafting Your Company's Voice Brand

With the evolution of how businesses engage their customers and prospects, we have also seen an increase in the number of small business marketing channels companies need to manage. Fifty years ago, the letter may have been the most common and most cost-effective form of direct communication with customers, whereas today the Web site is the default source for general company information. Now more than ever, businesses need to ensure they are using the same voice brand across all channels.

The first step is to determine the small business marketing message you wish to convey. To effectively do so, a company needs to examine not only its current brand, but the brands of its customers and prospective customers.

When examining these brands, review a number of attributes: are your company and your customers extremely professional or casual, highly educated or plainspoken, in a "white-collar" or "blue-collar" industry? Once you've identified some of these attributes, you can better identify the small business marketing message that will achieve success.

Inventory all of your voice communications touch points with an understanding of the brand your company will create. A touch point consists of any channel through which a customer could interact with your company, such as your receptionist, interactive voice response (IVR) system, tech support line, advertising response line, voicemail and online voice assets. Consider what you want your customer to experience and accomplish at each of these touch points. With a plan in place, you can design or redesign your small business marketing messaging and call flows to create a positive customer interaction.

For example, the medical field frequently uses call forwarding and redirecting services so patients can speak with someone 24/7. If handled correctly, the system may ask if it's an emergency, give you the option to immediately speak with a healthcare expert or provide information about where to receive immediate care. During business hours, a person would provide this information, but during non-business hours, physicians still need a professional solution that provides the necessary information.

Choose a Persona

How you speak with your customers is just as important as what you say. Oftentimes, automated phone systems sound mechanical, distant and even unprofessional. Think of your voice persona the same way you think of your staff when they are speaking to your customers.

Is your company represented by a man or woman, someone young or old? Do they have an accent? What is their attitude? A consistent persona, that reflects your company's personality and culture, will help establish the voice brand your customers will associate with your business.

Regardless of the persona your company takes, consider hiring professional voice talent to record the messages your customers will encounter. There are many companies that work exclusively with small businesses to create a voice brand; consider using one to help you.

Bring Your Small Business Marketing Message Together

Executing your vision for a voice brand will take planning and consideration of available tools. Most small business phone or PBX systems include basic IVR functionality that lets you customize voice prompts. Take advantage of this capability to ensure your small business marketing message is used throughout all automated responses your customer can have with your phone system.

For example, a Virtual Receptionist application is a great tool to effectively convey your voice brand. Virtual Receptionist offers easy and powerful management of inbound calling for your business and uses text-to-voice functionality that allows companies to create a customized script to answer and direct calls. With an intuitive interface, small businesses can create and update their phone menus on the fly to change how callers interact with the system during and after business hours.

Your small business marketing strategies send a message every time your phone rings; your Web site is hit and your employees speak. It is important that all these messages point to a consistent small business marketing message that embodies your organization. Taking the time to create the brand, using it across all channels and leveraging readily available voice solutions will ensure your small business isn't creating an experience your customer would rather forget.

Chris Gatch is Chief Technology Officer of Cbeyond, a leading provider of comprehensive Internet and phone service to more than 48,000 of today's small businesses that was recently named sixth on the Forbes Fast Tech list of the fastest-growing technology companies in America.
