Do you remember the old saying, "There's Gold In Them Hills?" The new saying should be, "There's Gold In Them Houses."
What I'm referring to are gold items that people own and are likely to sell if they only knew where to sell them. If you invest in gold, this is good news.
Last year there was over 1000 metric tons of scrap/used gold sold back to refineries. This translates into close to 30 billion dollars at the current spot gold prices.
How did this gold get from the public to the refinery?
A middleman!
As a gold investor you can be the middleman and buy the gold from the public. And based on the competition in your general area, which is likely very little, you can pretty much name your buying price.
It is not uncommon to buy scrap gold at prices well below spot gold price, usually below 50%.
With the price of gold at the high levels it has been recently, people are flocking to sell their unwanted gold items, that is if they know where to go to sell. In many areas there is no place to take scrap gold and exchange it for cash.
That is where you, the gold investor, comes into the picture. Simply get the word out that you buy gold and before you know it your phone will be ringing.
Once you buy several ounces of scrap gold you simply sell it to a refinery for a profit. If you chose to, you can take your profit in the form of gold bullion bars and coins.
Since your bullion was bought with the profit from the scrap, your investment gold was acquired for nothing, free!
Experts predict the amount of gold recycled in 2007 will double by 2009. If you want to own investment

The Best Way To Start Trading The Penny Stock Market
I know that many people are interested in receiving day trading stock picks. Many people just don't have the time needed to learn the complexities of the stock market. Or sometimes people would rather spend their time doing something they love rather than watching charts all day. But what happens if you are a total newbie to the stock market or in most cases you don't have that much money to invest in?
The single biggest obstacle for new traders is money. It's real easy to have a huge, diversified portfolio if you're already making a six-figure income. But what if you're like most of the public and have only a couple thousand dollars to invest in the market? Are you just stuck buying 10 shares of Wal-Mart and 15 shares of Microsoft? Nope! Try trading penny stocks.
Every single month, there are penny stocks that come from nowhere to explode onto the scene. The tricky part is that it takes some time to scan through the penny stock market to see which stocks have the best chance of exploding. It's an awfully big pool of stocks.
Luckily for all of us, two developers have created software that can automatically scan the penny stock market to see if there are any potential gold mines out there. They have an excellent newsletter where they offer day trading stock picks. They only make recommendations when there is a high percentage of upward movement. At it's peak, It is estimated that if somebody invested $5000 in the stocks that were recommended in the newsletter, that would have grown into $380,000 dollars over a month span.

The New 3g Network
3G is a collection of technologies — including EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, and HSUPA — that promise to bring high-speed data services to mobile workforces via their cell phones.
Progress toward ubiquitous 3G coverage is being made, but competition from rival technologies (such as Wimax) continue to complicate the market. Many users have rushed to purchase 3G smart phones and handsets, and roaming between carriers, such as Verizon and Cingular, continues to be a concern.
Still, 3G holds enormous promise for users to always be on the cellular network without the security worries of them being signed on to a wireless hotspot.
Check in at the 3G Resource Center for the latest analysis, product announcements, and reviews about 3G services and technologies.

HOW TO FIND OUT WHEN YOUR SPOUSE IS HAVING AN AFFAIR & WHAT THE WARNING SIGNS ARE.
How would you react and would you feel if you had a suspicion that your spouse was cheating on you. Would you be able to find the hidden messages and the tiny subconscious warning signs? There are a few indications that an affair is happening in your relationship. You will need solid evidence though before you make any hasty accusations against your partner though. There are first and foremost the warning signs.
The obvious tell tale signs your spouse is having an affair:
Mood swings - Your spouses attitude and emotional stability can be reflected on their overall mood. Whenever someone in a relationship starts living a "double life," the stress of this secrecy can pile on top of their daily anxieties just as much as it can weigh heavily on the suspicion from their spouse. The mood swings will be seemingly almost as if the other is suffering from being bi-polar with constant roller coaster ups and downs. One minute, they are tender and caring, then the following they are immediately upset by a trivial thing. Living a double life can may in fact cause these emotional roller-coaster rides with their emotions.
Self Esteem - You may suddenly be aware that your partner is taken on a new boost to their self esteem and is making steps towards bettering themselves. A sudden diet or exercise program where in the past they never had the desire or actually took action on them before is now suddenly replaced with an over eager attitude to lose that weight quickly and get fit. While this may be appealing to you it can actually be masked by the guise of excitement and thrilling rush your partner is experiencing with the new affair they are having. In the bedroom it's possible they will have new requests and new demands, including more desire and a stronger sex drive. It can be misleading as you are excited by this new change but it can represent the signal that something is definitely going on outside of your own bed as well. The strangest behavior that is usually noticed with a cheater is the boost of confidence they begin to feel. It manifests itself with their self esteem boost due to the new found confidence and sneaking around they are doing, which gives a powerful feeling of being in control and having absolute power.
Secrecy - You should pay attention to this very revealing warning sign. If your spouse develops a complete change in their mannerisms and the way they handle incoming calls, make calls, take messages, or in other words communicate with their new lover, it is important to see the changes. Communication between two having an affair is usually done in secrecy and with today's age of technology it's getting easier and easier to be stealthy about it. Text messages, cell phones, emails, etc. If you notice more then normal usage on the cell phones, suddenly your spouse is texting "his buddies" where he's never texted before or hated it, that can be a sign. Your spouse can rush out of the room within earshot and try to keep the incoming call secret. You may notice that your spouse will ignore incoming calls at times and not even answer them just letting it go while you're in their presence. These are powerful warning signals.
Everything is in Disarray - Your spouse will suddenly act very differently around the house and all the normal behaviors and patterns of normal routines will be in disarray. The clear example of this will manifest in your home. In the home setting where things were once organized and daily patterns and rituals were followed, you will notice subtle to even dramatic changes in your partners daily patterns. They will sacrifice their home life for the substitution of time with their new lover. Appointments and responsibilities will be distractions to them. They will seem flustered and maybe absent minded as they forget things and appointments, constantly apologizing for not making it on time or having to suddenly leave because "something came up." They will make excuses to be gone and come home late. There will be a noticeable difference in their lifestyle and daily routines that are important to pick up on.
While it is important to discover these changes that could ultimately lead to the finding of an affair. It's time to deal with the findings. The most important thing to do when a new affair is found out is to put a stop to it and ask yourself if you wish to remain with your spouse. The damage and painful hurt is no doubt there, but is your marriage or relationship worth saving and more importantly does your spouse still love you and do you more importantly still love your spouse? Whatever it was that had led up to problems in the relationship, it is understandably no excuse for an affair but there is help to save your relationship after this damage is done.

will within
In the year 333B.C, at a place called Issus, in the southeastern corner of Asia minor with an army of about half a million men, the great Persian king Darius 111 came there to meet Alexander the great, of Greece. Overconfident Darius also brought along his mother, wife and other members of his family so that they could witness what was to have been a spectacular victory. But the Persians were unprepared for the suddenness and vehemence of the Macedonian attack. Alexander's forces of just 35,000 men utterly defeated the Persian's Army. Darius fled, abandoning his family to Alexander's hands.
How, could an Army of 35,000 soldiers defeat an over-powering 500,000 men? The answer lies in the will from within. Will is a force, a driving force in the mind which galvanizes a person to an action. Without an internal will, the outward of our actions are as good as dead. Now the question is how does ‘will’ work? The answer to that is found in the seven letter verb, BELIEVE. Believe what? You may ask. Well, to be blazing with will, you have to believe in yourself that this task of yours can be done. Remember that survivors never lose the will, the live, the will within.
Most of mankind's battles are fought on the battlefield but they take place in our minds where we listen to the voice of determination, courage and tenacity to go ahead amidst struggles. You can not achieve if you do not listen to the voice within the -‘’will within’’.
The popular reggae maestro, Bob Marley posits ''when there is a will, there is a way''. This statement summarizes everything on will. Marley in his time was trying to ginger up his fellow blacks to get up, unite and fight against racism. It came with little success because there was no general will. I will be more myopic if I restrict general will on racial struggle only in Jamaica. Lack of inadequate sense of will cut across the globe. A cursory look at the world will show that few people apply their talent, of determination to the will within.
My use of 'apply' connote that everybody has an atom of will in him. The problem is many fail to trigger of that spirit. So, why is it that many people resign to fate or become easily hopeless when confronted with difficult situations? They fail to believe in them selves. They are afraid. The 'I cannot' mental sting them like bees. Yes, the fear of the unknown, act like recurring decimal in their subconscious mind. Well, consider this fear is learned, therefore it can be unlearned. Few people who have succeeded in conquering their fears changed the existing norms, values and system in the epoch of their local or national history. Somebody once told me ''conquer your fear so that you can conquer death''. Many would think that is an exaggeration. But the paradox lies in the fact that fear make you mentally crippled, emotionally inferior and physically handicapped.
''I CAN'T'' attitude or mentality might look so harmless but it brought untold sufferings, mistakes and failures to people of the past and present. Now let the living people guard against it, so that it will not eat into the fabrics of the future generation. We can only do that by bequeathing a legacy of success, I-can-do mentality, determination, inner strength and most importantly that of will, so that in the annals of history, posterity will write our name in gold that you and I blazed in the path of success.
There is a sensitive portion of the mind that is awake to flashes of knowledge from an outside source. This is the means where we can tune in to new knowledge and understanding, can have a new vision and a better techniques, in the mystery of life. Ray Charles began to go blind when he was five. He became totally blind by the age of seven, orphaned at the age of fourteen. This misfortune did not discourage Uncle Ray when he started music, he allowed his mind to awaken to the flash of knowledge from within and the outside source. He believed he could rise above the petty, harried inefficient self of his life. He had a determination and recreated his destiny. He started playing in some of the toughest juke joint in the State and finally landed a recoding contract with Athlantic records. He took control of his life career from his earliest days, the driving force within him created more courage for him, moving from gospel to country music , also gaining ground in pure jazz and finally touched the powerful pop hit. Determination invested in the will within result to his undoubtedly legend in the music industry.
Albert Einstein says '' I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. Having a clear strategy of your own, start from inside. Creating a clear vision can be made possible by the will within and your imagination. A son of a frontier man, who had to struggle for a living and for learning -ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Summoned up the internal will, left the world I can't aside, consumed himself with the imagination of a great mind towards the manifestation of his goals. Even when he loss to Stephen A Douglass in a senatorial election, he never muffled under the loss but he drove the will within towards his goals. He gained national reputation for himself during his debate with Douglass that won the republican a nomination for president in 1860. His internal will never dies by his background or his loss in Senatorial election. Lighting up the courage within, makes him to realize he could become the president even though he lost a senatorial election. The power of imagination; The great mind of creativities consummate the manifestation of his dreams. If not for the power of imagination so many people would still be struggle to make their name known. Bill Gate could have remained in Harvard from his pre-law to be a mathematician. But he summoned up the will within, the power of I can make this dream comes to reality, that will consumed him and took total control of his imagination, catapulting him to his dream world.
Human being must have action; and they can make it if they cannot find it. Most successful men of this world of ours, make their way toward greatness. None of them expect manna from heaven, they strategize, they are determined, left the world I-can’t, are not afraid to fail. By so doing they have established the will within, planted it by the river side, watered it all day and night. Its fruit is ‘’success’’ and ‘’greatness’’.
I must not forget to say something about the peer pressure. Never listen to the toneless of the peer when the going is tough. What I mean by the toneless is, jesting, mockery, abuses all coming from your peer toward your project. Some may even call it a crazy ideal. You alone can make the world laugh at you. You alone have the power to turn your idea to a crazy one. What you need is to accept your limitations and go beyond them. Forget the saying about some people that human beings is what the circumstance makes but assert this saying and put it at the back of your mind that ‘’very often man is what he makes of himself’’. Thomas Edison was the last born of a family of seven. In school, the young Edison’s mind often wandered, his teacher was overheard calling him ‘’addled’’. This ended Edison’s three month official schooling. But his mother did a great job by making him to realize the will within, gave him the courage, tell him he could be somebody. His mother tutored him and much of his education came from self-reading. He also developed hearing problems at an early age.
Today, Thomas Edison was considered one of the most prolific investors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Someone that was once called ADDLED, now invented many things even for the generation of the people that abused him. What makes him is the power of courage inside him, the believe on himself outstood it deafness and continue burning of the will within make his ideas comes true. Ben Carson was considered a dullard in the class, his colleagues when he was in junior school always made jest of him, never do well in class, they even said he was the most numbness in the world. The internal will tells him he can do more. His mother fire up the courage within and he believed in himself. Nurture the will inside for the outstanding outcome. Today, Ben has saved many life by his geniuses the most numbness now become the most genius among his peers. He did not allow such pressure to cover him and kill the burning fire of the will within. He fought back to revive his courage, believed in himself to get to his dream world.
Great spirit have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. Be ready for war, if you want to win. Be ready to take up the charge for the undoubtly victory. You can lose in everything, and still there is hope, but if you lose faith in yourself, then you are doomed. Believe it or not, man is the master of the transforming environment, molding matter to his will, conquering the sea and riding the heaven. You can not expect people to idolize your ideas, you get no value until you make a valuable achievement. Your creative force will drive them crazy taking you to be mad. But know this today before you can overcome every obstacle in the part of mediocre mind you must not relent in your effort until you have a pronounced achievement. If your plan is proper every one will be your friend.
James Allen says ‘’man is mind and evermore, he takes the tools of thought and shaping what he will, bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills. He thinks in secret and it comes to pass’’. Where desire is strong enough, backed up and will, with no conflict with natural law. Then, such desire will make product, it will materialize to that which you want it to be. There are 2,598,960 possible five-card poker hands but you will be dealt only one. The beauty of it is, you don’t have to have the best hand to win.
‘’not in the clamor of the crowded street;
Not in the shouts and plaudit of the thong,
But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat’’.
Summon that courage within you today for you to be reckoned with, you got the chances, the wing and the opportunities the great people possess. So, let’s fly for the sky is not too far.

This misfortune did not discourage Uncle Ray when he started music, he allowed his mind to awaken to the flash of knowledge from within and the outside source. He believed he could rise above the petty, harried inefficient self of his life. He had a determination and recreated his destiny. He started playing in some of the toughest juke joint in the State and finally landed a recoding contract with Athlantic records. He took control of his life career from his earliest days, the driving force within him created more courage for him, moving from gospel to country music , also gaining ground in pure jazz and finally touched the powerful pop hit. Determination invested in the will within result to his undoubtedly legend in the music industry.
Albert Einstein says '' I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. Having a clear strategy of your own, start from inside. Creating a clear vision can be made possible by the will within and your imagination. A son of a frontier man, who had to struggle for a living and for learning -ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Summoned up the internal will, left the world I can't aside, consumed himself with the imagination of a great mind towards the manifestation of his goals. Even when he loss to Stephen A Douglass in a senatorial election, he never muffled under the loss but he drove the will within towards his goals. He gained national reputation for himself during his debate with Douglass that won the republican a nomination for president in 1860. His internal will never dies by his background or his loss in Senatorial election. Lighting up the courage within, makes him to realize he could become the president even though he lost a senatorial election. The power of imagination; The great mind of creativities consummate the manifestation of his dreams. If not for the power of imagination so many people would still be struggle to make their name known. Bill Gate could have remained in Harvard from his pre-law to be a mathematician. But he summoned up the will within, the power of I can make this dream comes to reality, that will consumed him and took total control of his imagination, catapulting him to his dream world.
Human being must have action; and they can make it if they cannot find it. Most successful men of this world of ours, make their way toward greatness. None of them expect manna from heaven, they strategize, they are determined, left the world I-can’t, are not afraid to fail. By so doing they have established the will within, planted it by the river side, watered it all day and night. Its fruit is ‘’success’’ and ‘’greatness’’.
I must not forget to say something about the peer pressure. Never listen to the toneless of the peer when the going is tough. What I mean by the toneless is, jesting, mockery, abuses all coming from your peer toward your project. Some may even call it a crazy ideal. You alone can make the world laugh at you. You alone have the power to turn your idea to a crazy one. What you need is to accept your limitations and go beyond them. Forget the saying about some people that human beings is what the circumstance makes but assert this saying and put it at the back of your mind that ‘’very often man is what he makes of himself’’. Thomas Edison was the last born of a family of seven. In school, the young Edison’s mind often wandered, his teacher was overheard calling him ‘’addled’’. This ended Edison’s three month official schooling. But his mother did a great job by making him to realize the will within, gave him the courage, tell him he could be somebody. His mother tutored him and much of his education came from self-reading. He also developed hearing problems at an early age.
Today, Thomas Edison was considered one of the most prolific investors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Someone that was once called ADDLED, now invented many things even for the generation of the people that abused him. What makes him is the power of courage inside him, the believe on himself outstood it deafness and continue burning of the will within make his ideas comes true. Ben Carson was considered a dullard in the class, his colleagues when he was in junior school always made jest of him, never do well in class, they even said he was the most numbness in the world. The internal will tells him he can do more. His mother fire up the courage within and he believed in himself. Nurture the will inside for the outstanding outcome. Today, Ben has saved many life by his geniuses the most numbness now become the most genius among his peers. He did not allow such pressure to cover him and kill the burning fire of the will within. He fought back to revive his courage, believed in himself to get to his dream world.
Great spirit have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. Be ready for war, if you want to win. Be ready to take up the charge for the undoubtly victory. You can lose in everything, and still there is hope, but if you lose faith in yourself, then you are doomed. Believe it or not, man is the master of the transforming environment, molding matter to his will, conquering the sea and riding the heaven. You can not expect people to idolize your ideas, you get no value until you make a valuable achievement. Your creative force will drive them crazy taking you to be mad. But know this today before you can overcome every obstacle in the part of mediocre mind you must not relent in your effort until you have a pronounced achievement. If your plan is proper every one will be your friend.
James Allen says ‘’man is mind and evermore, he takes the tools of thought and shaping what he will, bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills. He thinks in secret and it comes to pass’’. Where desire is strong enough, backed up and will, with no conflict with natural law. Then, such desire will make product, it will materialize to that which you want it to be. There are 2,598,960 possible five-card poker hands but you will be dealt only one. The beauty of it is, you don’t have to have the best hand to win.
‘’not in the clamor of the crowded street;
Not in the shouts and plaudit of the thong,
But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat’’.
Summon that courage within you today for you to be reckoned with, you got the chances, the wing and the opportunities the great people possess. So, let’s fly for the sky is not too far.
