Swertres Guaranteed Win
If you can correctly select just one of tonight’s winning Pick-3 numbers and play the combinations below you are 100% guarateed to WIN!!! Here it before? Well, here it is.
If you are sure that one number is going to hit and it’s not a double, then choose one of the columns below under that number and play all 36 numbers boxed. Each column has all the possible 6 way combinations for that number.
100% guaranteed if no doubles!
Clumps aka Keyhole Swertres
This is a quick system that can be done with little time or effort. What you are doing is looking for a cluster of numbers within the last 5 draws. As in the example below from dates 1/9 – 1/13 there are a couple of “clumps”. There is no order to the way the numbers are obtained, just looking over the most obvious ones should give you the winner. So looking at the numbers in the date range you get 801, 804, 580, 219, 290, 504, 621. Then on 1/14 480 hit.
While this system shows promise, the best and only time suggested to play this would be when you have these number clumps which are generally brought on by repeating double numbers in the last 5 day history file ( like the 88 and 00 on 1/9 and 1/10) as well as a repeating digit in the same position (like the repeating 1 in the second on 1/11 and 1/12).
Swertres Trapping The Doubles
This is a great method, meaning you set it up and wait for the numbers to step in to the trap.
Start by tracking the last two weeks of numbers. Within that range of numbers look for how many times pairs repeat. You are looking for a pair set to repeat itself three times or more.
Check out our example data below:
Within this data set the 46 pair came up3 times. So you would play it as doubles. 664 or 446. You’ll notice that on 1/29 the 464 hit.
A good point to this is that you only have to play a few numbers and sometimes none at all when pairs don’t show three plus times in your data set.
Another idea is to track your front and back pairs for three months and play the hottest of those as doubles.

How to be a freelancer
Before I go and teach you how to be a freelancer, here are some advantages and disadvantages in becoming a FREELANCER.
ADVANTAGES IN FREELANCING
You can set your own schedule.
You can determine what time you get up every morning and what time you turn in at night. You can decide how long you can take a vacation, or you can just skip a day and spend time with your family.
You don’t have a BOSS.
Even though you have clients, but they are different from a boss ‘coz they don’t have same power over your life than a boss have. Yes, then can still fire you, but you can also quit if things gets too difficult for you.
You can determine how you’ll earn.
A normal job only pays you a set of money every month no matter how hard you worked that month.
Freelancing allows you to make practically any amount of money that you wish to earn because you can set how much your services will cost and how many jobs you can take at one time.
You can work at home or in your own office.
Whether you prefer working in a home office or renting space somewhere to do your business, you are in charge of designing and maintaining your own comfortable office. You get to pick the people you work with. You get to pick the type of computer, post-it notes, and bottled water that you use on a daily basis also.
Pretty cool eh? Well here are some of the disadvantages in freelancing.
DISADVANTAGES IN FREELANCING
You can become overworked quickly
When you start working steadily as a freelancer, it becomes nearly impossible for you to truly take a vacation. You have projects and clients that need your constant attention, so being gone or getting sick even for a day can put you behind schedule.
You have to deal with clients who can be more difficult than bosses
Most of the clients freelancers work with are genuinely good people, but there are others out there that are not. Every freelancer has probably been ripped off by a client at one time or another, even if they take steps to protect themselves.
You don’t have a steady income
Unless you have one or two truly constant streams of work, you can expect your income to fluctuate dramatically. Some months you may feel like you struck the lottery while others may make you think you’re heading for the food stamp line, especially when you are starting out.
You don’t have a way to separate work from home life
If you have a home office, you may find it difficult to recognize the difference between being at home and being at work which means that while your watching television or eating dinner you may begin to feel like you’re actually still on the job.
As you can see, each positive has a negative aspect as well. However, many of these negatives can be easily handled once you have experience as a freelancer, but to get to that point, you need to know how to get started.
Find Something You Enjoy Doing
This is critical to your success. If you don’t already have something in mind to do as a freelancer, you need to be sure that you pick an activity that you truly love. Remember, you will be doing this type of work every day. Also, the more you enjoy your work, the more passionate you are about it. Potential clients will spot that passion and will be more inclined to work with you.
Save Some Money
Most freelancers actually start out as conventional 9-5 workers. In fact, many of them maintain their full-time jobs in addition to their freelance work for the sake of a stable income, health insurance, or other benefits. If you choose to go freelance full-time, however, you need to be sure to have a comfortable nest egg in the bank. Most experts agree that you should have enough money in your savings to cover six months worth of your basic necessities. If that sounds impossible, then try juggling some freelance work with your regular job for awhile. Save up all of the money you earn from your freelance work and use that as your nest egg.
Start Finding Clients Today
One mistake that freelancers often make is that think they can only start networking and marketing their services after they’ve gotten started. The truth is that if you’re considering becoming a freelancer, now is the time to start networking and marketing. Let people know that you are thinking about going solo and get their reactions. Start building a database of possible job leads. In fact, you may want to line up some work beforehand so you can be sure of having an income initially.
Be Prepared
Most potential clients will want to see references and/or samples of your work before they give you a project. You need to have these prepared in advance. Don’t wait until someone calls to possibly offer you a project to get your portfolio in order or to line up some qualified references. Have those ready to dispatch as soon as you get off the phone or finish the email.
Start a Web Site
Use the Internet to your advantage. Create a professional-looking but simple web site advertising your experience and your services, then place it on the Internet. It’s one of the best ways of attracting new clients.
These suggestions will help you start your freelancing career on the right foot, but the most important key to your success will be your perseverance. If you give up easily or don’t follow through with things, you may never truly make it as a freelancer. You must be able to take rejection. You must be self-motivated, and you must be persistent. Only then will you be able to experience firsthand all of the benefits of being a modern freelancer.

Punisher: Warzone The Movie
Punisher: War Zone is a 2008, action, comic book, anti-hero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics vigilante/anti-hero the Punisher. The film is an original telling of Frank Castle’s war on crime and corruption rather than a sequel to the graphic novel’s 2004 The Punisher movie, and is the first film to be produced under the Marvel Knights production banner, which will focus on films for mature audiences. British actor Ray Stevenson replaces Thomas Jane as Frank Castle. In the film, Castle wages a one-man war against a horribly disfigured mob boss known as Jigsaw (Dominic West). Punisher: War Zone was released in North America by Lionsgate on December 5, 2008, and was released February 6, 2009 in the United Kingdom.
“Punisher: War Zone” will probably be ranked as one of the worst movies of 2008. It certainly is the worse comic book movie of the year. But that’s only because Frank Castle’s exploits usually ends up with him blowing up the bad guy, and that’s about it. There is no “Dark Knight” drama in “War Zone”, although the Punisher’s theme music seems to be right out of that movie (which was one of 2008′s best films).
Just like Warner Bros.’ re-invented the Batman franchise with “Batman Begins” and Universal re-imagined the Hulk with “The Incredible Hulk”, Lions Gate’s latest is a re-boot for “The Punisher”. It’s more in touch with its comic book roots than the Tom Jane 2004 version. In fact, director Lexi Alexander’s take was inspired by visual look of the comic book’s “MAX” run. And to her credit, the movie’s blood and gore is over-the-top and true to the comics. Surprisingly, the movie even managed to get an ‘R’ rating. It’s every bit as graphic as the unrated versions of 2006′s “The Hills Have Eyes” and “Hostel: Part II”. There are plenty of bloody kills and gore fans will love every one.
As far as the casting goes, Ray Stevenson looks the part; tall and tough-looking, but I think Tom Jane gave more to the part. He is Michael Keaton to Stevenson’s Val Kilmer. Speaking of “Batman”, there is so much of Nicholson’s ”Joker” in “Jigsaw” that it’s not even funny. Dominic West of “The Wire” and “300″ puts on a hammy performance as the disfigured, diabolical mobster. Ditto for genre vet Doug Hutchinson (he was “Tooms” in “The X-Files”) who plays his wacko brother “Looney Bin Jim”.
“Punisher: War Zone” is ulitmately fan service. It’s not much better than the 2004 “Punisher”, but it looks good, it’s fast-paced and is packed with conventional action and graphic kills.
What do you think about the movie guys?
How much to charge for your freelance consultant services?
This is a core question for anyone in the service business, but more than that, it’s really a fundamental question for any business. Sometimes your price is set by your competition (think gas prices at the local gas station, where they’re always within a few cents of the adjacent gas stations, and it’s the lone station that has the freedom to add a few extra cents to its prices) but usually it’s the business owner that decides the price, and the market reacts to it (e.g. hires you or not), not vice versa.
It’s not, however, ever about price, but value. I suggest to you that consulting — that any service business — is all about establishing a solid value proposition and letting the customer decide if they need you and can afford you, not whether you’re worth what you charge. A good proposal will cause them to ask how they could possibly afford NOT to hire you.
Let me offer up a hypothetical situation to illustrate. You go into a potential client’s office, having already reviewed their materials and noticed that they have a very poorly worded call to action on their Web site, one that you know is adversely affecting their sales. You can fix it in less than a minute and already have two replacement candidates in mind.
You turn to the owner of the company and say “what would it be worth for me to be able to increase your sales by 10%?” She thinks for a minute and says, “an increase of 10% would have us gross $37,000 more this year, and net $9,800.”
Now you know that one minute of work will be worth almost $10,000 to this company. How much are you going to charge for it? $10 because, heck, it’s only a minute’s work, and let them have the very best deal they’ve ever had with a consultant?
To understand the answer, I’ll quote my friend Steven Sashen, who was telling me just the other day that his consulting rates are high because “I can build that in a few hours, but it took me fifteen years to learn how to do it”. To restate, clients don’t pay for your time, but for your expertise.
This intuitively makes sense because an hour of work from one person doesn’t equal an hour of work from another. That’s why there’s often such a dramatic pay disparity between line workers and corporate executives, for example: an hour of work on the line might produce a widget or gizmo, but an hour of the executive’s time could produce an acquisition or multi-million-dollar contract.
As a service provider or consultant, your rates should always go up over time because you’re learning to become more efficient and gaining additional knowledge each and every day you work. Even if you seem to do the same task each time, your skillset increases, which makes you more valuable to potential clients.
You should almost never negotiate your fee with clients. Doing that is like saying “I’m worth X, but since you can’t afford me, I’ll pretend that I have less knowledge and experience and charge 1/2 X”. Do you negotiate with your doctor before he begins a surgical operation? Do you only go to really cheap restaurants because you don’t want to pay for the expertise of an experienced chef?
That’s why you need to move from hourly rates to either daily or project-based pricing. To calculate a project price, try to figure out how much time it’ll take you, add 50% because you know the client will keep changing their mind, then ask yourself whether it’s within your core competence (justifying your premium pricetag) and whether it will, in a measureable way, either increase corporate revenue or decrease their cost of production or service.
Good project proposals are written around the value proposition, but should also detail the estimated number of hours, milestones, deadlines, and offer up a brief synopsis of your relevant experience for the job. Say “Estimated time to complete: 100 hours. Project fee: $7500″, not “Time to complete: 100 hours. Project fee: 100 * $75/hr = $7500″, because if you put it in terms of hours, the client will think of you as an hourly worker and want you to keep a timesheet or justify your time spent, rather than deliverables. That’s not the path to greater credibility and higher income, needless to say.
Finally, cap your project involvement. Anyone who has been around the service or consulting business knows the client who has daily changes and is never quite satisfied. Your 100 hour estimate that you were sure would be way over ends up being 63 hours too short, and since you bid a project price, you’re now working at McDonald’s wages. Not good.
That should get you going with your new, more profitable consulting business or any other freelance service. Good luck!
How do affiliate programs really work online?
There are indeed many different ways that you can make money from a Web site, ranging from how your local newspaper sells classified advertising to how Amazon.com sells books, but I’ll start right out by saying that in my opinion, at least, the most important element of any successful online business is to start out by making a commitment to being ethical.
That means that tactics like ripping people off with deceptive photos, fake testimonials, false endorsements, bait and switch and unsolicited email offers are all bad and should be avoided like the proverbial plague.
Now that we agree on ethical business practices, let’s talk about affiliate programs. (see, you didn’t think we’d inject philosophy into this, did you?)
When a vendor sells a product, there are number of factors that go into whether the sale is profitable or not. There’s the sale price (the “income”), the cost of goods (the “cost”) and the transaction costs (exemplified by the transaction fee charged by credit card companies, but let’s add shipping and handling here too).
Let’s suppose you have a custom candle business and sell your candles for $25 each. The candle actually costs you $6 to make, but then there are all the additional fixed costs: the jar it’s in is $3, the label is $1, the box is $2, the packing material is another $1 and shipping is $4. Each time you sell one you have to pay an additional $1 to the credit card company. Add that all up and your candle costs $16 to ship. Your profit is $7 per candle.
That’s not bad, actually, for a commodity item like a candle. The difference between your selling price and your total transactional and fixed costs is called your profit margin (in this case 28%) and that’s exactly where an affiliate program springs from.
If you wanted to sell more candles, would it be good business to decide that you would pay a middleman $2 for each candle sold if they stocked it in their store? Of course it would. If you could double your sales, you’d be doing great. What if you told the middleman that you’d pay them 50% of your profits (in other words, $3.50/sale), is that still a good deal? Yes. Every two candles they sell garner you that same $7 profit.
In Internet marketing terms, the middleman, the store merchant, is an affiliate of yours, and the money you pay on a per-transaction basis is their affiliate commission.
We do need to slightly recast this when it’s an affiliate relationship, however, because, for example, their percentage of the transaction wouldn’t be based on your profit (which generally isn’t something they’d know) but on the selling price of the product. So if you offered a $3.50 commission payment for each candle sold, that would be referred to as a 14% commission rate, which is quite high.
Mechanically, affiliate programs work where you give the affiliate a special code to use that uniquely identifies them in the program. Your product shows up on their site and then when someone clicks on it to buy it, they’re directed to your Web site with that code in place to help you track the sale. At the end of each month, typically, you tally up the sales by affiliate and pay out their commission.
One of the most popular affiliate programs is Amazon.com, actually, and it not only accounts for a significant percentage of their overall sales, but it’s also quite easy to work with too. The logic is simple: if you’re going to write about a book, a movie or a mountain bike, say, why not have a link to that very product at Amazon and hopefully make a few bucks if someone who read what you wrote decides to buy it?
You can learn more about Amazon’s affiliate program at amazon.com/associates and if you want to set up your own, two great places to investigate further are Commission Junction (cj.com) and Colorado-based CPA Empire (cpaempire.com).
Good luck with your affiliate efforts!
