Metaphysical Car Wreck, Part II • 7 June 2007

…As I was saying just before sleep the other night night: Lots of meditation teachers warn that it is easy to hide inside your mindfulness or contemplative practice; and the same is true for asana. Many of us feel this practice to be a refuge—a beautiful, true stroke of luck in our tragicomic lives. Even at our most sincere—when we’re not using the practice to construct a self-image that’s worked-out, insightful, balanced—we’re capable of practicing without looking at whatever it is we don’t want to see.

Ok. So, it is easy to conflate practice and therapy. Personal time, quiet time, reflection time…, and the leavening sanitymaker, the place we air out the anxiety or the rage or the giddiness.

Westerners are tormented by our selves, and we know it. The main way we run is by consuming. (Good thing for the capitalist elite, for now.) Meanwhile, floating around the ether are, let’s say, three broad entry-points to facing the pain: drugs, therapy, and religion. Let’s take all three treatments at face value, as if the do what they claim to do. So, drugs mainly go after symptoms. Nevermind all that: it’s not conceptually different from “retail therapy.”

But self-analytic therapy and contemplative practice look for causes and, at their best, rip pain-sources out by their roots—the first by acceptance and/or release, the second by detachment. Contemplative practice posits that we have reactive habits which bind us; therapy posits that we split off, repress and project pieces of our inner experience in self-deceptive, painful ways.

Both are accurate pictures of inner life, and both “solutions” are semi-successful. In fact, Western common-sense understandings of what it is to be a human are entirely shot through with everyday assumptions that both psychotherapeutic and contemplative theories of human experience are largely true. For pragmatists who define truth as “what works” (the Buddha; William James; me; you unless you’re a committed solipsist or other philosophical nutjob), then, the insights of each approach qualify the other’s status as any be-all-end-all solution.

From this practical, non-fundamentalist perspective—cooking up nourishment with whatever happens to be in the kitchen—here’s the question of the day. What to do about anger—e.g., when a troll shows up in your community and both infuriates you and makes you act in ways you later regret?

Here’s Ken Wilber taking contemplation and therapy on their own terms, and making them complements. When it comes to contemplative practitioners who use practice to transcend anger, yet have bits of anger they’ve previously split off and projected, he writes (IS, 129):

Denying ownership [of anger] is not dis-identification but denial. It is trying to dis-identify with an impulse BEFORE ownership is acknowledged and felt, and that dis-ownership produces symptoms, not liberation. And once that prior dis-ownership has occurred, the dis-identification and detachment process of meditation will likely make it worse, but in any event will not get at the root cause.

Does it work to rely on Integral thought here? Not that I don’t have a passel of doubts about this overall system: its central metaphor, the AQAL matrix, is one big philosophy-eating box plot. And its proponents seem to spend their efforts in forcing the world into its color-coded schema (I’d rather see them working to integrate the schema back into itself at the roots)—this focus leads to a lot of talk about the matrix, and less talk about experience. There is in this, unrestrained, the colonialist impulse of conquering-by-mapping (a trouble that Wilber, the original master mind, doubtless understands because his grasp of the last 30 years of social theory is awesome). And even though my hero Pierre Bourdieu deployed much of what I like best about Wilber’s sensibility decades ago, Wilber can synthesize like nobody’s business, in ways useful to people all over the epistemic-ideological-geographical-cultural map. In Chapter 6 of Integral Spirituality. He makes simple the complementarity of analysis and contemplation by describing pathologies in the ultimately more transcendent and interesting practice of contemplation (126):

Once… repression occurs, it is still possible to experience the anger, but no longer the ownership of the anger…. I can practice vipassana meditation on that [disowned] anger as long as I want, where I… simply notice that “there is anger arising, there is anger arising, there is anger arising” – but all that will do is refine and heighten my awareness of anger [as a an object outside of me]. Meditative and contemplative endeavors simply do not get at… the fundamental ownership-boundary problem…. Painful experience has demonstrated time and again that meditation simply will not get at the original shadow, and can, in fact, often exacerbate it. Amidst all the wonderful benefits of meditation and contemplation, it is still hard to miss the fact that even long-time meditators still have considerable shadow elements.

No kidding! Shall I name names, or will an awareness of our own shortcomings be sufficient?

I love the idea of asana practice as a refuge, and in the past year of family trauma it has been nothing but refuge to me. I don’t doubt this or regret it: I’m just damn thankful. But if we think that having a practice means we don’t have to work on ourselves in other ways, it is a refuge from the world? Or, again, from ourselves?

    Practice is actually the time of the day when I work on myself! 🙂

  • Posted 7 June 2007 at 2:11 pm | #

    I can work things out during practice which I can then use in my life. Mostly cutting out the crap to get to what matters. It’s hard to lie to yourself during practice.

  • Posted 7 June 2007 at 4:08 pm | #

    Ok, this is interesting. I genuinely don’t know what it’s like to work on cutting through the crap during practice. Strange. But I seriously don’t have important insights or resolutions on the mat, and I’ve only once experienced a strongly embodied emotion (during savanasa in a flow class, after a teacher had berated me—so it doesn’t exactly count). From the beginning, I’ve usually just zoned out on the breath (while following the breath is basically impossible for more than a short time when I do sitting practice, for some reason it’s the default during astanga). Recently, I’m meditating more on the body than the breath, because I’m injured and feeling my way through it—it’s not too different from following the breath, though it lacks rhythm and, because I’m injured, makes me impatient sometimes. So… while you two are working through stuff and finding some resolutions, while what I’m experiencing is more like “Vipassana 101.”

    In any case, this calls into question my assumption that asana practice is only helpful as a platform for contemplation, and not for analysis. It would be cool to hear where between these two others’ experiences fit.

    Whatever the case, I agree that it’s hard to lie to yourself during practice. The mind is awesome at self-deception, but the body’s harder to manipulate… even if you foot can go behind your head.

    This all sounds like another rehashing of the arguments on the importance of practice over theory. Theories are always abstract. The process of reconstituting abstractions is never straightforward and we’ll always dig out at least as many vagaries as solutions.

    We can discuss the various methods that’ve been used to get at the better way until we’re blue and breathless. Ultimately, it always comes down to doing. The tried and true ways are good starting points.

    I’ll have to read this Wilber guy. He seems to imply that a lengthier effort indicates lesser efficacy and that is absolutely silly. We are each systems of many variables and we’re rather complex. Make a radical change in a single variable, without respect to the way it affects others in the system, and the result is often (if not mostly) an unpleasant surprise.

    Okay, so that is an abstraction. But it’s true that adversity requires careful examination. The quick solutions, like drugs and re-labeled shock treatments, can create instabilities. It’s better to sit down and work it all out the way it comes to us. It sucks if we’re angry but sometimes we just have to be angry for a while.

    I don’t feel like I’m working things out on the mat. Rather, I feel repercussions of practice in “real life,” and some of those repercussions imply that some working out has been done (e.g., more calm in the face of difficult challenges, more receptive to what may be intuitive insights — though in the end, they may turn out to be delusions). I am breath-oriented during practice; occasionally a thought comes in loud and clear (generally around a pose I’m afraid of), but for the most part, there’s no thinking going on. But in that stillness, I imagine there may be some subconscious “work” happening. At any rate, somewhere between the practice and the so-called life, a kind of transformation seems to occur.

    Zen monks have told me that practice burns off karma. For a long time, I thought it was the act of the practice itself (whether zazen or Ashtanga), the mechanics of it: now, though, it’s seeming like they were talking about the process. Of course, they’d laugh if I asked for clarification.

    I think that perhaps it’s more contemplation rather than the noise that can be analysis. For me it goes some thing like this:

    – “you are feeling this” – “you are behaving like this” – “you are like this” – “You are doing this” – “This is bothering you” – “This is beautiful”

    …and so on. It’s a no-questions-asked simple statement which can leave me silent. Which doesn’t happen very often :)- A response to it is not obligatory or necessary.

  • Posted 8 June 2007 at 8:33 am | #

    I don’t think there is one answer to “how asana practice should work”. Horses for courses, I guess. I do work my own issues on the mat, mostly because not being influenced to a lot of outside influences/noise, I can be introspective enough as to observe myself. Am I pushing myself too hard today? If so, why? Why do I secretly wish that H would say something about my newly acquired chakrasanas? 🙂

    But that doesn’t mean that asana should work like this for other people. I’m just fine with everyone else not feeling like this, the same way that when others talk about feeling the energy of the pose, I just don’t get it.

  • Posted 8 June 2007 at 9:54 am | #

    CJ, what you wrote is pretty beautiful. One time when I was feeling like a smartass, someone asked me what is yoga, and I said “a platform for awakening.” I felt at the time that it was a snarky thing to say. But it works as that. Lots of ways work. Vanessa’s right.

    Carl, I’ve been thinking over your comment, and wouldn’t say that this is a practice/ theory conversation. It’s a practice conversation! While I love the sentiment “Whereof whe cannot speak thereof we are to remain silent” and have a severe crush on Wittgenstein as well as a few other dead gay men (Heraclitus, Aristotle…), I’d submit that assigning the activities of the mind to “theory” perpetrates a false material/ideal distinction that would have the body being realer than the mind. Mind’s real, inside and out, and at least for me it’s wonderfully helpful to submit my inner experience in asana to at least as much reflection as I do the poses. Maybe the reason that, as Karen’s said, ashtanga bloggers drop off after a while is because it’s harder to write about consciousness (and subtle and energetic stuff) than about our limbs. But: I’m all for tryin’.

    ‘Cos the mind’s not magic: we can know it. Is the process of inquiry that happens internally in practice all that different from the process of finding the physical body? We watch a teenager or a new practitioner move from not knowing where his limbs are in space and how to connect them—to a dynamic linkage of the mind into the body, which creates outer grace. Has the mind, thus, changed too? I would say this is not so magical or mysterious that we cannot share it with others in conversation. Both ashtanga, and sharing others’ experiences, are demystification practices.

    It may be that SKPJ, in his Shivaism, is sort of pushing in the other direction. For many in his orbit, what’s REAL is mind—and the body is illusion. But as Steve Dwelley said somewhere, SKPJ links nondualism with a “total affirmation of the body.” Thank god. Thank SKPJ.

    And I so much agree with you, Carl, on this. If you have the chance of building on tried-and-true methods born of sages’ dedicated inquiry, why in the hell not? Lineage is a gift, not for giving ourselves pedigrees and hierarchies (which is a strange thing some younger LA teachers do—wearing their yoga “style” as a brand name so everyone will know they’re different). Especially since I have such a hungry monkey-mind, it’s helpful to focus on a line of “research” that comes from somewhere and demonstrably works… instead of digging a bunch of shallow wells in the LA yoga soil, which itself can be a little shallow. 🙂

    OWl, I re-read your post a couple times as I should have done before I commented. I tend to digest blog posts with respect to citations made in them so I was stuck on the Wilber stuff.

    I agree with you that one’s mind is as real as any other part. But what I meant by my remark about theory was that in the passages that you cited, Wilber seemed to be dismissing some ages-old methods for approaching the workings of the mind. Methods that have found acceptance through success. He pointed out that some people experience persistent issues despite their diligent meditation practices, etc. He seemed to be saying this persistence is reason for demoting the meditation from its position, presumably, at the head of a list of options. I don’t know what alternatives he might offer in dealing with ownership of anger though. Maybe you can tell us.

    “Practice practice practice!” is a great directive because, in doing the practice as much as possible, we increase our opportunities for making observations. By observing things more frequently, we improve our chances that something will click in our minds and we’ll come to a better understanding of what’s happening. It’s like finding yourself facing a large heap of potatoes that need peeling and you have a crappy peeler in your hand. You start in on the potatoes and quickly come to feel unhappy because the job sucks. Big time. So the more potatoes you peel, the more you come to a desire to fix the peeler issue. You might decide to sharpen it or go buy a bright new Ginsu peeler. Whatever you do, the problem continues to sit plainly under your nose while you adapt it into your work. Eventually, you must see the problem for what it is and then go about fixing it. But if we’re wrong in assuming you’ll eventualy see it and figure it out, then… well… I guess you’re lost.

    The more I read on the topic of yoga and asana practice, the more I think the intention is simply to settle the interface between mind and body. The mind and body share a relationship wherein each can cast effects upon the other. ‘Yoga’ means ‘to yoke’ according to the literature but the mind, body and soul are already yoked up — they never function independantly from one another. Yoga must therefore be about easing the connection so they don’t mutually aggravate each other. It’s not about removing some adverse emotions from within us. The emotions are integral and they are meant to stay here, inside, where they fulfill a real purpose. We just have to know what they are and how to make them work for us.

    Practice can’t be a refuge because it’s only the way you smooth yourself out. Read Iyengar’s Light on Life if you get a chance. He doesn’t put things as plainly as some might like but he’s also not terse. He has a buttload of yoga experience and he is quite readable too.

    Posted 9 June 2007 at 6:58 pm | #

    I can not agree more with your agreement. The agreement is so mindful and this binds us all. If you do not agree with such terms and conditions; then do not use yoga for the agreement. It is simple as mc**2. How you can formalise your agreement? You can not. We can agree on how our practice perform during rainy days. We cannot and do not check to see whether asana names you use are correct. More like an open debate. In a debate, you evaluate the beliefs of the one who opposes you, your intent is not to agree with them, your goal is to prove “otherwise”. But here I can not agree more with your agreement.

    Anyway, what is the agreement we’re talking about?

  • Posted 9 June 2007 at 9:33 pm | #

    Hello, Zee. Here’s what “this agreement is about” on a deeper level: we’re constructing intersubjectivity here. It’s hard. But it can happen. The main things it takes are dedication to listening really well and communicating really clearly. Add to these sincere intentions the reasonable assumption of shared experience, and here we go.

    If you want to L-I-S-T-E-N, be my guest. But you’ll recall that you already promised to keep quiet.

  • Posted 10 June 2007 at 3:29 pm | #

    What is “mc**2”?

  • Posted 10 June 2007 at 8:33 pm | #

    I think it was supposed to be MC^2. As in E=.

TUF Semi-Finals Episode 1 Recap

The Ultimate Fighter is just about done for another season and, after skipping last week, they decided to double stack this week and run back to back episodes with two fights in each episode. That means there's pretty much nothing but the confidence talk leading up to the fights and then the fights themselves.

The confidence talk is when each fighter is interviewed by someone off-camera and gets to say why they will win. Sometimes they talk trash about the other fighter, sometimes they just say they'll win because they have more heart and blah, blah, blah. I tend to find the confidence talk and trash talk to be boring as hell and I can fast forward right through it.

The first semi-final fight was between Eliot Marshall and Ryan Bader, two light heavyweights. Marshal is a Brazilian jui jitsu black belt and Bader is a two time national champion wrestler. What could have and should have been a good fight basically consisted of Bader laying on top of Marshall and doing almost nothing for fifteen minutes. It was one of the worst and most boring fights I've ever seen on the show. Bader won because he controlled the fight but if he wins the show, he'll be the lamest winner of all time. His fighting style is to bore people to death.

The second semi-final fight was between George Roop and Phillipe Nover, two lightweights. Nover was the guy who fainted during the initial introductions and caused Dana White to nickname him Faintin' Phillipe. But, after his utter annihilation of Dave Caplan (sp?), White was singing his praises. Roop seriously messed up his hand a few days before his last fight and basically won his last fight one-handed. Roop was over-matched by Nover and the fight ended pretty quickly by a kimora submission that looked horribly painful and nearly broke Roop's arm.

I didn't watch the second episode yet because I needed to get to bed earlier than I have been. But the fights in the second episode should be pretty good with Krystoff fighting Vinny and Junie fighting Ephraim. I kind of hope Junie gets the snot beat out of him but I don't think it will happen, he might lose but he won't get the ass-kicking he really needs.

I'm seeing the final as.....dammit, I just went to the TUF site to do a spell check and saw who won and what the finals are going to be. That sucks. Oh well.

Google Secures Scandinavian Deal

With the battle for international search deals intensifying, Google has won a new contract to provide algorightmic search for Eniro, a portal and directory publisher operating in Northern Europe.

Neither the financial terms nor the duration of the contract was disclosed. The deal could lead to additional services including advertising deals, the companies said.

"This is the beginning of a partnership to provide the best search experience to users of Eniro in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland," said Omid Kordestani, a Google vice president.

For Google, the win occurs in its rival's backyard. Overture Services gained a strong presence in the region last month when it bought the Web search unit of Oslo-based FAST Search & Transfer's Web for $100 million last month.

Sweden-based Eniro, which recently expanded through the acquisition of Scandinavia Online, logs more than 600 million searches yearly.

"With our locally produced content, the cooperation with Google means that Eniro's Internet search service will be the most comprehensive alternative for everyone searching the Web," said Lars Guldstrand, Enviro's president and CEO.

For Google, the deal comes two weeks after it signed a deal with South Korea's Daum Communications to provide algorithmic search services for the portal, Daum.net. In that case, Daum decided to split its search business down the middle, partnering with Overture in a three-year exclusive paid-listings deal two months ago.

Overture and Google have increasingly battled each other abroad, where the paid search market is relatively new. While Overture has beaten back Google to win a number of deals, including agreements with the top ISPs in the United Kingdom and France, another key Asian portal, Yahoo! Japan, decided to split its paid search business between the two companies.

Meanwhile, FAST, which now focuses exclusively on enterprise search, inked a deal with Japanese Internet service provider NTT-X to power multi-media search on its portal, "goo."

FAST's technology was chosen because of its support for different languages and the ability to search music and video files, NTT-X said.

How to Read a Hayward Pool Motor Label

WRITTEN BY:  Inyo Pools

  3.67 out of 5 stars on 3 ratings
(Click on a star to add your rating)

When first reading a pool pump motor label the mix of numbers, letters and ratings can be confusing, Hayward's motors are no exception to that rule. This "How to" will walk you through reading a motor label to help you track down a new replacement. Hayward's motor labels follow the same basic traits as others but they also offer a nuance that sets them apart.

Step by Step

Step 1

Tools you may need: 1. A cloth and cleaning solution, this is needed to remove any dirt or grime causing your pump motor label to be unreadable 2. A Shaft Seal or GOKIT when replacing your motor. Working seals and gaskets are vital to the health of your pool pump. A malfunctioning shaft seal will cause water from the pump to leak into your electrical motor causing it to fail prematurely. A GOKIT includes the complete set of your pumps gaskets and O-rings, including the shaft seal.

Step 2

When searching for a replacement pump motor the key piece of information is the motor model number. If this number is available the search becomes as simple as entering it into Inyo's search engine and clicking GO. Luckily, most motor labels come with two searchable model numbers. Hayward labels (pictured) normally have a layout of the Motor Manufacturer model number listed at the upper left and Hayward's proprietary motor model number normally listed at the bottom left.

Step 3

We will focus on Hayward's proprietary motor number first; usually found on the upper or lower left of the label. You can identify this part number by its distinct format (example, SP-1620-Z1). Beginning with 'SP' followed by four numbers, sometimes ending with a suffix of numbers and letters, is how Hayward identifies most of their products. After you've found and copied down this number enter it into Inyo's "Keyword or Part #" search, the result will be the direct replacement for your pump motor. If this identification number is unreadable, you can move onto the second model number. Note - the motor being shown in pictures is a display model, the 'DIS' would not be present on standard motor label.

Step 4

Now we will focus on the motor manufacturer's model number; this will be found in the upper left hand corner of the label. The format of this number normally begins with a prefix of C48, C56, K48 or K56 followed by four to nine numbers and letters. An example of this format is C48K2N140A1. Tip: this number may be preceded by an 'X', disregard this letter when completing a search. Once again this number entered into Inyo's search can provide a drop-in replacement for your pump motor.

Step 5

In cases involving a dual speed pump the manufacturer may be Century which does not use a model number. To identify their motor you will need to locate the "Part #" on the label. The format for this is a nine digit number in the pattern of 'X-XXXXXX-XX'. Search this model number by removing the first and last two digit sets leaving the middle six. These six digits can be searched using Inyo's site for a direct replacement.

Step 6

A search of the numbers listed above will return with results that though they should be accurate will still need to be matched to your current motor. The information most necessary to confirm compatibility is Horsepower (HP), Service Factor (SF) and Frame (FR).

Step 7

The horsepower (HP) in a pump motor measures the power output generated similar to a car engine. The higher the horsepower the more water volume that is moved. Keep in mind that if you choose a replacement motor with a different HP then you currently have that you will need to replace the impeller and possibly the diffuser.

Step 8

The Service Factor (SF) of a motor helps you determine the "Total HP" of its output. This is done by multiplying the horsepower by the service factor the product is the true HP of your motor. There are two separate categories of service factor ratings, Up Rated and Full Rated. An SF listed at 1.27 and below is considered Up Rated, anything above is Full Rated. When considering a motor replacement makes sure the service factor matches or there could be an incompatibility with your pump.

Step 9

The Frame (FR) is how the flange of the pump and shaft side of the motor are configured. Most pool pumps have a frame of 48Y, 56Y, 56J or 56C. The "48" and "56" describe the diameter of the motor casing and the suffix letter is the shape of the flange. A "Y" frame is square, a "J" and "C" are round flanges. When confirming a replacement motor's compatibility be certain that the Frame does match or it will not bolt on to your pump housing.

Step 10

Other information on the motor label that cannot be searched but still good to know: Volts - Can be listed at 115v, 230v or be dual voltage 115/230. A motor listed as dual voltage can be run at either voltage. As a rule a dual voltage motor comes preset at 230v, if you are running 115v to it change the setting before operating. Amps - This measure the power usage of your pump, the higher the amps the higher the power bill. Your specific pump model may have an Energy Efficient (EE) motor option. An EE motor can save you up to a third in electricity costs. Duty - Pool pump motors are universally rated a CONT (continuous duty). Meaning they run constantly without needing to be shut off. RPM - This stands for Revolutions Per Minute, single speed pumps run at 3450 rpm with dual speeds running at 3450 on high and 1725 on low.

Step 11

If for some reason you are unable to read a label and these numbers listed above cannot be used you may have to go a different route. In this case we suggest you read How to identify your Pool Motor without the label

Anonymous (manf date)- The date of manufacturer is embedded in the serial number. You will have to call the manufacturer to have them interpret it for you. If you have a Hayward pump, their number is 866 -772-2100.

I currently have two IRAs, a Rollover IRA worth $7,100 and a Roth IRA worth $1,000. They are both at the same brokerage.

Is it wise for me to convert my Rollover IRA to my current Roth? What kind of penalties and taxes will I have to pay? Is there a better way to minimize taxes? Should I have the tax withheld or should I pay from the taxes/penalty from an outside source rather than from the IRA?

My current gross income is around 45k and in the 25% tax bracket.

6 comments so far...

  • Dr. Deth Said on December 17th, 2009 at 9:44 am:

    converting to a Roth will cost you taxes and maybe early withdrawal penalty right now – don’t do it. there’s no reason to convert it ever. why would you want to throw away $1800+ ?? You minimize the taxes to zero by NOT converting.

  • Wayne Z Said on December 17th, 2009 at 10:42 am:

    If you convert it to a Roth you would pay taxes but no penalties. There are no ways to reduce those taxes.

    Whether you do it or not depends on your age.

    If you are young enough, the tax savings on the back end will offset the tax you have to pay ($1775 + state) on the front end.

    There really is no right or wrong answer to this. Your choices are pay the taxes now or pay them later.

  • Crystal Said on December 17th, 2009 at 10:50 am:

    No Leave it. The penalties are not worth it. I was burned by rolloing over my 401k into my IRA, there are fees everywhere.

  • dan Said on December 17th, 2009 at 10:58 am:

    Here’s the situation:

    1. Converting to a Roth does not have a penalty. All you will owe is income tax on that money, so….

    $7100 x 25% (your tax bracket) = $1775 extra taxes you will owe

    2. It does make sense to convert this if…
    a. you have enough money to cover the tax bill
    b. you expect your tax rate to rise in the future (in other words, when you retire, you think your tax rate will be higher than it is now
    c. you want a source of tax free money when you retire

    3. Another strategy is this: you could convert a portion each year. Since this money is taxed as ordinary income, you could convert a small amount each year so it doesn’t bump you into a higher tax bracket. Also this strategy would ensure that you are not shocked by your higher tax bill at year end

    4. Once you make over $100,000, you are no longer eligible to convert (this law is changing in 2010)

    5. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT WITHHOLD TAXES! take care of them yourself at year end. The reason for this is the following: if you convert lets say $5000 and withhold 20% or $1000, the $1000 withheld goes straight to the federal government. Well, guess what? Since that money did not go into the Roth, the withholding itself is now subject to taxes PLUS a 10% penalty. Very bad deal.

  • MikeeyMan Said on December 17th, 2009 at 11:42 am:

    YES! CONVERT! You will pay taxes at your marginal tax bracket. There are NO PENALTIES associated with a Roth Conversion. If you can afford the taxes, it’s a no brainer, you need to convert. The roth IRA is the best financial tool available to individuals. It needs to be taken advantage of. Don’t have the taxes withheld. This will reduce your balance. Pay the taxes with the filing of your 1040.

  • StephenWeinstein Said on December 17th, 2009 at 12:08 pm:

    Federal tax of $1775 (your bracket times the amount removed from the non-Roth). Probably state tax as well (not in all states).
    No penalty if you pay the tax from an outside source and put the entire amount removed from the non-Roth into the Roth.
    If you have the tax withheld and do not use an outside source to make up the difference, penalty of 10% of the amount removed from the non-Roth and not put into the Roth.

Ask the Expert: I'm worried about how expensive it could be to have a baby

Work out what you can afford – and remember, friends and family are a great source of second-hand toys, clothes and equipment

Q: I'VE just found out I'm pregnant but I'm worried about the costs of a new baby when I'm on maternity leave. What's the best way to manage financially during this time?

A: Jacqueline Dewey, managing director of the credit report provider Noddle says: "Having a child can be one of the most exciting, joyful times in our lives, but financially speaking it may be tough. Parents have to try to factor in all the costs of caring for a new baby, such as nappies, clothes, toys and equipment, while on a reduced income.

"I'd recommend starting to buy the essentials as early as possible and look out for offers on things like nappies and baby wipes, as stockpiling these items can save you a lot of money. In terms of clothes, you'll probably get lots as gifts, but look out for offers on the basics, or shop during the sales, and buy them in bigger sizes so you've got them when you need them.

"When thinking about prams, car seats and nursery furniture, make sure you shop around to find the best deals and have a look on some of the many cashback sites to see if they've got any offers as well – as the savings can all add up.

"It's important to try to do as much financial preparation as you can before the baby gets here, to help stave off money worries. Take stock of your finances by checking your credit score to get a snapshot of all your outstanding credit, and use this information to work out where you might be able to cut back, and how much disposable income you have after all your bills and debts are accounted for.

"Once you've worked out what disposable income you have, decide how much you'll put aside as savings each month and try to stick to that amount while you're still on your full income. Working out what your income will be while on maternity leave will help you budget for when the baby comes; the website has some helpful information on statutory leave and pay.

"Get familiar with what else you're entitled to as a parent, such as tax credits, child benefits or free prescriptions. There are also lots of schemes and clubs to join that give you discounts or freebies on baby products.

"And finally, use your contacts – friends and family are a great source of second-hand toys, clothes and equipment, as well as recommendations on what you really do or don't need for your new baby."

Jonny Cooper reaching out to those helping hands

28/8/2016 Dublins jonny cooper pic seamus loughran
By Seamus Reilly

WITH every medal comes reflection for Dublin defender Jonny Cooper. As the Leinster and All-Ireland titles continue to roll in, the Na Fianna clubman further examines how he got to where he is currently in his career.

The 28-year-old is aiming to get his hands on the Sam Maguire for a fifth time when they face Tyrone in Sunday’s final at Croke Park. If he gets the opportunity to climb the Hogan Stand steps he’ll keep an eye out for some of those who helped plot his path to the top.

“It’s different,” he said about his reaction to success now.

“It’s different because you put a lot in to get there and it’s that buzz and it’s that thing of competition and all this other stuff.

“Then when you win it, you get the opportunity to celebrate and congratulate each other.

“But certainly for me, over the last year or two, it’s been more about family and club and that kind of appreciation for the people who got me there.

“Whereas the first year or two was ‘me, I got there by myself’. Now, I’m older and more experienced in terms of having gratitude for what got you there.

“So from that point of view, it’s giving back in some way or at least being more appreciative of the people who have given their time over the years.

“So I guess it has kind of changed. You still get the internal buzz. But equally now for me, it’s about helping others and giving back to the club and other people in terms of the platform that I have.”

Cooper is hoping that his increasing maturity off the pitch extends to matters on the field of play as well.

The player has at times walked that disciplinary tightrope and was black-carded in the 2016 All-Ireland final against Mayo.

Even earlier this year when the side was waltzing to victory against Longford in the Leinster semi-final, he was lucky to escape sanction after a reckless challenge on Dessie Reynolds.

Gavin has an unshakable belief in his player though. He made him captain as Dublin claimed the All-Ireland U21 title in 2010 and Cooper went up for the toss in this year’s Leinster final against Laois as Stephen Cluxton was missing through injury.

Given his reputation, he knows that Tyrone are likely to try and get under his skin on Sunday but he said that maintaining discipline could be the difference between winning and losing.

“I don’t really talk to opposition, to be honest. I don’t really get involved in it. There would be time where I get emotional all right but I don’t really get involved in it too consistently.

“I don’t think it adds anything. If anything, it has probably taken away from my game when I have engaged with it in the past.

“But yeah, they (Tyrone) bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm and the whole lot to it. So yeah, it’s interesting in terms of discipline and keeping that discipline.

“That side of it is going to be quite challenging because both sides are going to be right on the line.”

Cathal McCarron and Colm Cavanagh are the only two members of the Tyrone squad who have felt the buzz that accompanies All-Ireland glory having been involved in the county’s last success in 2008.

Things could not be more different in the Dublin camp. Brian Howard may be chasing his first All-Ireland title but he very much in the minority within the squad.

Cooper quickly quashed any suggestion that the Red Hands may have the edge when it comes to hunger though.

“Why do you keep coming back? What’s the driver? The initial driver is the in-house competition and the competitive nature of the group of people that is there at the moment.

“So, before it ever gets to a game or a final there is a guy or several guys that want the food that you want in many ways.

“That’s where it starts. I guess just winning is something that you want more and more of as well.”

While some Dublin players will switch off in the lead up to the game and just let the chips fall where they may, Cooper will be studiously analysing Tyrone.

He said that he can’t help breaking down what happens on the pitch in as much detail as possible.

“I like the technical side of it, the push and pull of force of the intricate side of my position.

“It’s not always easy to apply it at speed. I do slow-mo stuff and it is the one tackle or contact or fingertip that will potentially make something.

“We beat Donegal in 2010 in an All-Ireland U21 final and Michael Murphy hit the crossbar. I always think of that: it is only a couple of inches that potentially separates you from winning and losing and those couple of inches could be broken down into eye or hand position or something like that.

“I’d say other lads do look at it but I’m probably a bit weird, maybe a bit of OCD, in looking at some of it.”

It seems that Gavin allows the players decide for themselves how much they get bogged down in the minor detail and potential opponents.

Cooper said that he will always shoot the breeze with the players around him, but that sort of conversation is limited as far as the group goes.

“In-season there is a lot of internal conversation, bouncing stuff off ‘Fitzy’ (Michael Fitzsimmons) or Philly (McMahon) or ‘Murch’ (Eoin Murchan) or one of the boys back there and seeing how they would do it and trying to marry it. “There isn’t a whole pile of formal stuff in front of the group. It’s more informal, Whatsapps or phone calls, before or after training.

“Those collaborative thoughts can come together, maybe twig a marking technique against somebody that may be coming up. I don’t know if the forwards have them. It may be different for them because they’re not marking someone.”

It’s a mature analysis from a player determined to grow, determined to learn from his mistakes.

A fifth all-Ireland winners’ medal would be the perfect recipe for some more positive reflection.

Pitt’s Center for National Preparedness to Present Seminar Series
Contact: Karen Hoffmann
[412-624-4356; hoffmann@umc.pitt.edu]

Strategic medical intelligence expert will discuss Pittsburgh bioterrorism tool at Dec. 13 seminar

PITTSBURGH—The Center for National Preparedness, a University of Pittsburgh initiative developed by Vice Provost for Research George Klinzing, is launching a series of seminars highlighting research on international, biological, and homeland-security research at Pitt.

“This is a way of keeping the community apprised of activities going on at the University and outside the University, nationally and internationally, in this field,” said Klinzing. “I’m looking forward to having significant University participation in the seminars and in the center.”

The first seminar in the series, on Monday, Dec. 13, from 3-4:30 p.m. on the 5th floor of Pitt’s Alumni Hall, will feature a discussion of the Pittsburgh Matrix by Michael P. Allswede, director of Strategic Medical Intelligence for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and of the FBI’s Strategic Medical Intelligence Project. The Pittsburgh Matrix is a hospital planning tool that assesses the survivability of patients who are victims of bioterrorism, relative to the scale and timing of attacks, and guides resource allocation decisions for preparedness intervention that maximizes saving lives.

Allswede has served as an instructor for the U.S. Department of Defense’s Domestic Preparedness Program and has trained Metropolitan Medical Strike Team members in Detroit, New York, Chicago, and Boston. He worked with the Michigan State Police and the U.S. Department of Justice to create a prototype state-level management system for weapons of mass destruction (the RaPiD-T Program).

The Center for National Preparedness is a broad, multidisciplinary, collaborative enterprise that engages the University’s scientists, engineers, policy experts, and clinical faculty. Members of the center possess expertise in biomedical research, public health, medicine, national security policy, engineering, and information technology. The center communicates the innovative research of the University’s faculty to the broader public through the educational and training programs in which students, policymakers, and other interested parties participate.

For more information regarding the center or the seminar series, or to RSVP for the seminar (by Dec. 10), please visit www.cnp.pitt.edu/seminar.

Two LTTE Pharmaceutical stores raided

A special Police team raided two LTTE Pharmaceutical stores and arrested a man who was in charge of both. The stores were in Wellawatte and Vavuniya.

Police said medicines worth Rs 5.4 million were found in Wellawatte and and Rs 2.4 million in Vavuniya for use on injured LTTE cadres.

The arrested store keeper was responsible for the distribution of medicines to the Wanni. In addition to the medicines police found bandages, plasters, syringes and a host of other items for use on injured LTTE cadres.

It was revealed that some NGOs were involved in bringing in the stocks to the pharmaceuticals. The suspect was being questioned as to how the medicines were distributed to the Wanni and also the others involved in the process.

Investigators refused to divulge the locations in Wellawatte and Vavuniya where the stores were nor any other details since it could hamper investigations.

How I Found a Des Moines Garage Door Repair Service Online April 15, 2018

One of the reasons that I chose to buy this particular home was the fact that it had an automatic garage door.  I had always known that this was the type of thing that I wanted, and I was really happy when I found a house with a garage and an automatic door.  I had dreamt of being able to drive up into my driveway, hit a button, and pull my car into my own garage.  Of course, when the door stopped working for me, I was extremely frustrated and I knew that I needed to find desmoinesgaragedoor repair services as soon as I possibly could.  Because I had never had to get my garage door repaired before, I did not have any specific company in mind when I began looking into this particular repair service.

The great thing about the internet is the fact that you can go online and compare a number of products and services before you decide to buy them.  Being able to shop around really will help you to save some time and money and make sure that you get the most for what you are paying.  This was no different with garage door repair services, as there are actually a whole bunch of companies in the local area that can fix your garage door for you.  I was actually quite surprised that so many companies existed, and I was also pleasantly surprised that most of them were willing to come out to my house and take a look at my door in order to give me an estimate free of charge.  This allowed me to manage my budget without having to pay in order to get a rate.

I scheduled an appointment with a local company, and I found that they were quick and friendly.  When all was said and done, I had my garage door back.  I definitely love being able to open and close my garage door with ease, but I do hope that I never run into this sort of issue ever again.

Morpho Passes on Patching Hole

Friday, July 25, 2014 @ 08:07 AM gHale

Morpho will not produce a patch, update, or new version that mitigates the hard-coded credential vulnerability in the Itemiser 3, according to a report on ICS-CERT.

This vulnerability, discovered by independent researchers Billy Rios and Terry McCorkle, is remotely exploitable.

Honeywell Mitigates Web Controller Holes
Omron Fixes HMI Vulnerabilities
Havex Varient Brings Attack via OPC
OleumTech WIO Vulnerabilities

The Itemiser 3 v 8.17 suffers from the issue.

Once an attacker gains access, he or she can read and write to the file system and reconfigure the device. Attackers may also have access to other devices attached to this product.

Morpho is an international company that maintains offices in several countries around the world, including the U.S., UK, Netherlands, India, Germany, France, Czech Republic, China, and Australia.

The affected product, Itemiser 3, is a residue testing machine. This machine sees use to test for explosives residue on hands and other objects.

An attacker can log into the device using the hard-coded credentials that grant administrative access. Administrative credentials allow users to change device settings and read and write to the file system. This could result in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability.

CVE-2014-2363 is the case number assigned to this vulnerability, which has a CVSS v2 base score of 10.0.

No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability, however an attacker with a low skill would be able to exploit this vulnerability.

In terms of any sort of mitigation, Morpho decided not to address this vulnerability.

Trent IMP880 iPad and iPhone 2G/3G(S)/4, iPod External Backup Battery

Let’s face it, the battery life of any iPhone model is awful. Even the new iPhone 4 won’t last as long in the hands of a power user such as myself. It’s quite rare that by the end of the day I’m left with even 5% of battery on my iPhone 4. In fact, I have to recharge my iPhone at least twice in a 24-hour cycle. That does not include charging on-the-go via car charger or during a periodic iTunes sync. The need is, even more, when I’m traveling between cities especially when not in my own car, which does have the USB device charging kit installed. Thus, I had to look up a battery solution for my iPhone, especially something that could last at least an 8-10 hour trip on the road.

After a couple of days of searching online, I finally came across this New Trent (formerly iMaxPower) IMP880 External Battery pack and was instantly tempted to get it not only due to its competitive price but the consistent rating of 4 1/4 or 5 stars all over the Internet including Amazon. I ordered it in no time and ever since I’ve got it, trust me, I haven’t looked back for another solution!

So, this compact review covers the New Trent IMP880 External Backup Battery’s hands-on unboxing and my initial impressions over the usage of almost one week.

  • Weight 250g (8oz)
  • Dimensions 4.5 x 4.0 x 0.9 inch
  • Capacity 8900mAh@5V (500% of iPhone battery capacity)
  • Li-ion Polymer battery
  • Chargeable with an AC wall charger
  • Compatible with iPad, iPhone 2G/3G(S), iPhone 4, iPod, Blackberry & all USB Handhelds/PDAs with correct adapters (sold separately)
  • Compatible with portable game console systems like Nintendo DS lite, Nintendo Gameboy and Sony PSP with the correct adapters (sold separately)

Unboxing and Package Contents:

I ordered my New Trent IMP880 from their official website and got it delivered via Express post within 5 days at my doorstep. This was also a clue of their superior customer service as I had already seen numerous reviews praising their excellent after sales support all over Amazon.
DSC_0003.JPGIn no time, I was ready to open the package and see what was inside. Honestly, the very first impression as I opened the packaging and held the New Trent IMP880 box in my hand, I felt as if the thing wasn’t heavy enough to perform as it claims to be. So I kept hoping I got what I paid for in the end!
DSC_0004.JPGOpening up the box revealed what the label said:

  • An IMP880 External Battery Pack
  • A Regular USB cable
  • An iPad only New Trent Propriety USB charging cable
  • A MiniUSB adapter for Blackberry, Tour, Curve and Bold
  • A MicroUSB adapter for Blackberry, Storm
  • An AC Wall Charger with voltage range 100V-240V (suitable for frequent travelers)
  • An English user manual

DSC_0008.JPGNow on to the good stuff. First of all, the size of the IMP880 device is actually pretty compact considering the monstrous 8900mAh power it holds. For size comparison with an iPhone 4 and iPad, refer to the image given below. The build quality is excellent and feels solid when held in your hand. The matte grayish body gives it a superior look and feel. As for the weight, let’s say its only slightly heavier than a MacBook MagSafe power adapter. For those who are not familiar with the MacBook adapter, it weighs around 250 grams according to the manufacturer.

The IMP880 device has a nice rounded On/Off button on top which lights up a series of blue LEDs when pressed once, indicating the juice remaining in the battery. 4 Levels of battery power can be observed with the LEDs. Pressing and holding the On/Off button for 4 seconds switches the device On (DC out / charge mode) and any attached device begins to charge.

On one side of the IMP880 device, three jacks can be seen. One for charging a USB device including all iPhones, iPad and iPod touch models, another for charging cell phones including Blackberry (DC-OUT) and a third one for charging the device itself via the provided wall charger (DC-IN).

Performance & Conclusion:

The IMP880 came pre-charged approximately to a level of 60% (3 LEDs). However, the manual said to fully charge the device before first use. Thus I left it to charge for a while, which is indicated by LEDs flashing in a row, and once the charge is complete, the LEDs stop flashing (a full charge may require up to 7 hours) indicating the device is fully charged.

DSC_0017.JPGOne thing I noticed was that when the IMP880 is charging a device, the IMP880 remains cool. I believe the main reason for this is that New Trent has a current limiter in the IMP880 that keeps charging current lower than what you get from a wall or PC. However, in my experience the charging times on both iPhone and iPad were considerably the same with the IMP880 as would be with the native iPhone/iPad USB wall charger. Another interesting thing that comes with the package is a high quality iPad only New Trent propriety USB charging cable, which looks exactly the same as the native iPhone/iPad sync charge cable, only the cable itself is slightly thicker and is black in color with a label on one side saying “only for iPad”. According to the manufacturer, it is supplied for iPad specifically, allowing it to charge at relatively faster rates. I personally can not confirm that however, I did notice that this cable is the only one compatible with IMP880 and iPad. The native iPhone/iPad cable connected to IMP880 won’t charge the iPad. This probably has something to do with the difference in cable resistance and voltage transmissions (I guess). It is also notable that 3 devices can be charged simultaneously with the IMP880.

Finally, what’s my take on this handy IMP880 External Backup Battery charging device? I say for any power user like myself, who likes to carry multiple handheld devices especially while traveling on long road trips, this little gadget is PERFECT !!

As he lay dying, Floris Singletary said she held her father's arthritic hands and thought of all he had accomplished.

He worked in the family chicken hatchery on Bay Street. He played football at the University of Florida. He hunted, fished and grew vegetables and plants, giving much of the bounty to others.

Most importantly, he healed and saved many lives. Albert Fechtel, who practiced surgery for 46 years, died Friday at Community Hospice of Northeast Florida. He was 92.

"He was one of the best general surgeons in Jacksonville," said Dick Burnett, a longtime patient and friend.

Singletary said her father helped build a strong medical community and inspired many new surgeons at a time when Jacksonville was smaller and had fewer hospitals.

Dr. Fechtel opened his practice in 1954 and eventually was on staff at six Jacksonville hospitals. He also was president of Methodist Hospital's medical and dental staff in 1978, a team physician for Bishop Kenny High School's football team and served on many boards. After retiring from private practice at age 71, he worked part time at the Veterans Administration Medical Clinic in Springfield for another 10 years.

"He just couldn't stop being a doctor," Singletary said.

Dr. Fechtel was born in Waycross, Ga., in 1919, the 11th of 12 children. He moved to Jacksonville in 1929 and graduated from Immaculate Conception High School, where he was a standout football player with aspirations of being a doctor.

He hitchhiked to UF in Gainesville, where he walked on as a guard and later received an ROTC and football scholarship. He earned his medical degree from Tulane University in 1947 and served as a U.S. Army Medical Corps captain before returning to Jacksonville.

Burnett, a hunter, said Dr. Fechtel was one of the best outdoorsmen, hunters and fishermen he knew. He also was an excellent gardener who grew 8-foot-tall tomato bushes.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Bertha Ann, and son, Kenneth Fechtel. In addition to his daughter, survivors include other children, Albert Fechtel Jr., Staunton, Va.; Karen Terpko, Pompano Beach; and Roslyn Fechtel, Mark Fechtel and Doug Fechtel, a surgeon, all of Jacksonville; 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Visitation is 6 to 8 p.m. today with a vigil service at 7 p.m. at Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home, 4115 Hendricks Ave. The funeral is at 11 a.m. Thursday at Assumption Catholic Church, 2403 Atlantic Blvd. Burial will be in Oaklawn Cemetery, 4801 San Jose Blvd.

'First strike': No change in Pakistan's Nuclear strategy

19 June 1999
The Dawn
By: Hasan Akhtar

ISLAMABAD, June 19: There is no change in Pakistan strategy on the issue of "first strike" of its nuclear arms, Dawn was informed by a foreign ministry source. The source was asked to comment on a reported statement by the Stockholm International Peace Institute (SIPRI) that while India's policy had been not to use nuclear weapons first, in case of a conflict,"Pakistan could easily take a different track".

The source said Pakistan had not adopted any policy to renounce its right to first-strike, and added that Pakistan had made it known that its nuclear capability was primarily for use as deterrence.

The source avoided commenting on the SIPRI's reported statement that "the greater risk of nuclear war in South Asia arises from Pakistan's longstanding strategy of using the threat of early first-use of nuclear weapons to deter conventional war".

Pakistan's military policy, including its nuclear capability, are known to be India-specific for two major reasons: the festering row over the Jammu and Kashmir issue; and the establishment's belief that Delhi has not reconciled, even after 50 years, to the partition of the subcontinent and the creation of Pakistan.

Although the Lahore summit between Prime Ministers Nawaz Sharif and Atal Behari Vajpayee in February this year had injected a fresh hope in diplomatic and political circles for a negotiated settlement of most of the outstanding issues and problems, it was dashed in May due to LoC violations by Delhi and fighting between Indian troops and Kashmiri Mujahideen in the Kargil and Drass sectors.

Pakistan expects major world powers to take notice of the threat to security and stability in South Asia, particularly after the failure of Foreign Minister Sartaj Aziz to open dialogue last week with his Indian counterpart Jaswant Singh over the escalation of tension on the Line of Control, because of Delhi's intransigence.

Pakistan and India have separately approached G-8 leaders in the recent days, who are now in Cologne for a summit, for their intervention, although Delhi has been averse to a third-party mediation. However, Pakistan has been asserting that only a mutually acceptable third-party mediation can help resolve the Kashmir issue and other India-Pakistan disputes.

10 July 2009

Šibenik, unlike most of the major points of interest on the coast, cannot claim its origins as Roman, Ragusan, or Venetian. It is probably unfair to infer that this is the reason it does not rank higher on the destination list, but despite our our Zagreb colleagues strongly urging us to skip it altogether, we wanted to see for ourselves. And we are glad we did. The Cathedral of Sveti Jakov (St. James), designed by local son Juraj Dalmatinac, is architecturally unique (check the building techniques - particularly the interior ceiling and the outer roof), serving as the anchor to one of the least developed (read: most authentic) Croatian old towns on the coast. Since Pelegrini opened just across from the cathedral there is actually somewhere to be recommended on the gastronomic side. The brilliantly located Viječnica, sitting in the historic reconstruction of the main square's loggia vecchia, is good for coffee overlooking the cathdral, but unfortunately does not have a very inspiring menu and an interior space somewhat on the frightening side - the same seafood in that same overdone interpretation of luxe that is unfortunately seen far too often in the former Yugoslavia. If its open, check out the random art gallery just up the stairs to the right of Viječnica (as your back is to the cathedral) on the first "landing" above the square. Eclectic, funky, folk art? We fell in love with what could only be a wooden sculpture of a British tourist - sunburned beyond belief, but smile intact.

The final judgement? A good stop on your way to or from the Kornati, Zadar, or Skradin and Krka National Park. One suggestion would be to use Skradin as a base from which to explore Krka, adding an afternoon in Šibenik to check out Sv. Jakov, grab a bite at Pelegrini, maybe a coffee at Vječnica, and then heading north to Zadar or the Kornati or south towards Primosten.

Situated in the Villa Pelegrini-Tambaca, and with a view of the St. James Cathedral. Serving breakfast as well as lunch and dinner, this cafe/restaurant/wine bar is the best place in town for an elegant meal, or just to enjoy a glass of wine from the local Bibich vineyard (ok, the wine list is significantly more extensive than that, but when in Rome.... and anyhow, Bibich makes some pretty good wines with the Syrah grapes he uses). With seating for 45 inside and 60 outside, worth coming to even if you can't get one of the few tables out front with the primo view looking directly at the cathedral. Open every day, 08-24.

The primary goal of this program is to assist children in getting ready for school and in developing social skills. The child's primary issues should be related to a mental health diagnosis, although there may also be secondary developmental delays or substance use/abuse. If you believe that a child or youth needs the intensity of Family Focus Services, contact a Family Focus Team Leader at one of the locations listed above for information on referral and intake into the program.

Top 10 Online Marketing Tools You Must Use in 2018 to Scale Your BusinessWondering what online marketing tools you should be using in 2018?

I have always been a tools' junkie. Whenever I find something new and exciting, I'm all over this thing. Are you?

So in 2017 I have added a lot of new resources to my tool kit that I've been utilizing to grow my business, and adding a couple more in 2018.

In this article you're about to learn the top 10 online marketing tools you gotta get your hands on in 2018.

Take Your Business to the Next Level

If you're dead serious about creating success in your network marketing business, there might be one tool that you're missing. I didn't realize it myself when I first got started. A lot of network marketers are actually missing the personal development and lead generation aspects. They're doing a lot of hard work, but forget about creating leverage – having people come to YOU asking about your business.

In 2014 I found an attraction marketing training platform that (not to exaggerate) not only changed my business, but my life. Not to mention it's been around since 2008 and never been stronger. So if you're looking to growgenerate more leads and surround yourself with literally the best community in the entire industry, I highly recommend for you to check out this platform. You and your business deserve this!

1. Trello

If you're an organization freak like me or you feel all over the place sometimes, then you're gonna dig this tool. What Trello does is it lets you create boards and basically organize your life. You ever have some ideas you wanna safe? Trello! Or you saved an important website or article? Trello! Heck, maybe even planning a trip somewhere? Trello! I literally store MY LIFE there. On top of it, I work with my coaching clients through Trello, because it's a convenient way to store all the documents and to-do lists in ONE place. The best part? It's free! (I have not personally used their paid plan yet).

Setup Your Trello Account Here

2. Dropbox

Just storying the files on your computer is kinda risky.. You never know what might happen – a little glitch and poof.. All the files are gone! That's the key reason why I signed up for Dropbox to make sure all my files are backed up (and I've got an external hard drive too for that). Another reason is it's just so easy to share files with your business partners and organize your projects. And if you have virtual assistants, I found Dropbox to be super handy to share files with them too. There is free and paid plan. With paid one you get 1TB of space which is plenty for the beginning!

Grab Your Dropbox Account Here

3. Canva for Work

If you want to create epic graphics without messing with Photoshop or hiring someone to do it for you, Canva is your best bet. I've been using it ever since I found out about it. But just a few months ago I upgraded to Canva for Work (their paid plan), and it made my life SO MUCH easier. Not only do they give you lots of stock photos you can use, you can also upload your own custom fonts, your brand colors (so you have them at your fingertips), and a ton more. All I can say is it makes my life easier and all the graphics look on point!

Check Out Canva for Work Here

4. 1Password

Ever forget the passwords you use for pretty much everything? I feel ya. It's so much easier storing them all in one place, and then just remembering ONE password. That's what 1Password is for. Moreover, when building a business, you wanna make sure all your personal data is secure. Another thing I like about this tool is that it can generate custom passwords for you, that is 1,000% more secure than any password you come up with. It is a paid tool though, but trust me, your security is worth it. 1Password has become one of my most valuable online marketing tools.

Learn More About 1Password Here

5. Google Calendar

If you know me, I live in a small country Latvia down in Eastern Europe, so I'm kinda in between America and Australia. So it's quite interesting dealing with different time zones all the time, which is why one of my fave online marketing tools is Google Calendar. It's free. Easy to use. And it also sends you notifications for important tasks.

If you have a Gmail account, you already have it! Just grab an app on your phone.

6. Slack

One of the things I've done this year is I hired 3 virtual assistants, who edit my videos, do some time consuming tasks on social media and create graphics for my blog and YouTube channel. The ultimate way to communicate with your team is by far Slack. I've tried Slack, Facebook, but I wanted to keep my team communication completely separate. Especially, if you're getting lotsa messages on FB, Slack is your best choice. Oh, and it's free!

Check Out More About Slack Here

If you're into video marketing like me, then you'll wanna make sure you have a backup of your videos, rather than just relying on YouTube. This has been one of my go-to online marketing tools this year. It's by far the most affordable out of a lot of them, yet it gets the job done. Also, if you're into course creation or special trainings for your team, Vimeo is your best friend. There's a free plan, and a a few paid plans. I'm personally using the one that allows you to upload 5GB of videos per week. It's plenty!

Grab Your Vimeo Account Here at 25% OFF

Wanna do webinars or team calls? Zoom has really got its name this year and become very popular amongst online marketers and business owners. Probably one of the most affordable systems to do webinars if you're just getting started. Their free plan allows you to do 40-minute meetings, and paid plan is only $15/mo.

Create Your Zoom Account Here

Now, if you wanna ramp things up and do some more professional webinars, then WebinarJam is gonna be your jam! They used to be using Google Hangouts (YouTube Live) for streaming platform. And I'll be honest.. Haven't been the biggest fan of it because of delays and complicated setup. NO MORE! My prayers have been answered, and they have revamped the whole platform, so now I can confidently say that this platform is the “go-to” when it comes to webinar marketing. Side note, it is a paid tool, and they offer either annual subscription or 3-month payment plan.

Check Out More Details Here

Last but not least, if you REALLY wanna ramp things up, ClickFunnels is the freaking BEAST of the tools. I've used a ton of different softwares before to creating sales pages, landing pages, etc. And I can say that ClickFunnels is on top of all of them. The things you can do with it are totally NINJA. The creator is Russell Brunson, who is a total marketing genius, when it comes to funnels, lead generation, paid traffic. You just have to see for yourself!
