I CAN promise you that even if he doesn’t, YOU can learn how to show your dog to the best advantage and feel comfortable that you know HOW to do it RIGHT!

Second, I have found out the hard way how to win in the Show Ring. When I started I had never stepped foot in a ring. I learned from "scratch" and I DID make mistakes. I am qualified to tell you what to do and what NOT to do because of my experiences. And I know what great fun dog showing CAN be, and I want to pass on this information. Also I have also instructed as a classroom instructor and Special Education teacher for over twenty years in public schools. I know how to teach!

PLEASE NOTE: Although this book is a great trainng resource, the information about the American Kennel Club dog shows is specific to America and may not pertain to dog showing in other parts of the world or in shows other than AKC shows.

That’s me up there. It was not that long ago I was sitting at my computer looking for a way to lose weight …and fast. There MUST be something I could do. A diet? A magic pill? A work out? I was desperate for something that would work.

I was wearing a pair of go-to “fat jeans” that I actually thought made me look slimmer. Well, I squeezed them on but I couldn’t even button them so I wore a long shirt to cover the top of the jeans. I will always remember driving down the road in my unbuttoned extremely tight jeans — that secret sisterly competition turning into a feeling of secret depression and embarrassment.


The Kellogg’s Cereal Diet, Weight Watchers, Atkins Diet, The Zone Diet, The South Beach Diet, counting points, counting calories, restricting calories, prepackaged foods, — what do they all have in common? Big companies taking advantage of you, and keeping you fat.

Up until this point, nothing has worked for me.I had tried everything I decided to take matters into my own hands. I started researching and experimenting and guess what! Something finally worked and it worked FAST. I wasn’t trying to develop the next best diet in America, I was just doing it for myself. I stumbled upon a secret, the secret to fat loss.

See, I was sick. I was tired. I was angry and my skin was broken out. Everything that was wrong with the inside of my body was shining through the outside.

We should be firm believers of solving the problem instead of just covering up the symptoms. I finally figured that out for myself, and now I can share the solution with you!

Most Americans are living in an acidic state. In fact, it has been suggested that many of us in this condition are prone to many health problems — WEIGHT GAIN, SKIN CONDITIONS, CANCER, DEPRESSION, FASTER AGING, ARTHRITIS, FATIGUE, SLEEP DISORDERS, FIBROMYALGIA, MS along with many other life threatening diseases.

As a natural day-to-day function, our bodies continuously detoxify substances. HOWEVER, when you consume foods and chemicals that are highly acidic you are preventing certain nutrients from being absorbed by your body. Your body’s ability to repair the damaged acidic cells slows down. Because of poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and stress, your body will fail to keep up with this natural detoxification process. You can become overloaded with acidity.This is when many of the symptoms begin to occur.

The reason why so many of us are in this state is because of the American Diet of Convenience. Highly acidic foods are now cheaper and easier to consume than alkaline foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. In some cases, for those that do eat a healthy amount of fruit and vegetables, they are laced with so many chemicals during the growing process that the nutrient value in the fruits and vegetables is being compromised by the amount of acid from pesticides, growth hormones, and ripening agents that go into these foods.

When you are in an alkaline state, your body’s PH is balanced and all kinds of positive changes can happen! Your body can now properly absorb vitamins and minerals, your immune system is stronger, you have higher energy, your chances of illness significantly drop, your body’s ability to repair damaged cells increase, and it slows down your aging process, leaving your skin tight and clear. And, it is now easier to lose weight!

I’ve walked in your shoes, I’ve shared the struggles that come along with fat loss. I’ve tried and tested many different programs! THIS ONE WORKS, FINALLY!!!

I believe in this program because it changed my life. It kick-started my fat loss journey and I believe it can help you in yours too! Don’t waste another minute of…

When The #1 Copywriter in History and the Most Insanely Bad A$$ Copywriter on the Planet Recommend Cosmo…Shouldn’t You Be Listening?

Want to write headlines that harpoon your prospects eyeballs then wheel them unmercifully into your copy (even when they don’t want to read)? Then this will be the most important letter you’ll ever read.


What if by some miracle, I’ve pulled some strings, making it possible for you to have the highest paid copywriters on the planet–right there sitting beside you–next time you sit down to write your salesletter?

Can you guess where some of the highest paid and most respected copywriters in the world work? I’ll give you a hint, here’s some of the headlines they’ve written:

HIS #1 SEX WISH. 71 guys crave this move. You’re gonna want to drop the magazine and do it on the spot.

BEST. SEX. EVER. Out gutsy new tips are guaranteed to give him the most bad ass orgasm imaginable and you too.

Yep, the same magazine that crams my wife’s head so full of twisted ideas about the male psyche. that at times I’m left wondering how the editors got in my head.

One Day I Found Myself Peeing On a Stick, Praying To God I Wasn’t Pregnant… Trouble Is, I’M A GUY!

Why would Cosmopolitan magazine staffs the highest paid copywriters on the planet? Cosmo is magazine isn’t just a shelf magazine, it’s a checkout magazine. Meaning that their headlines must grab a readers attention in the checkout isle of the super market.

Correct me if I’m wrong….But isn’t that what you need you copy to do? Grab your readers attention and wheel them helplessly into your copy.

Yeah I know, the list reads like a who’s who of the top marketers and copywriters on the planet…

More importantly… Each of these marketing Gods have praised Cosmo magazine for headlines and great copy ideas. In fact each of them have at one time or another recommend that you go buy a copy of Cosmo for yourself.

When experts like Gary Halbert, John Carlton, Michael Fortin and Eben Pagan have agree that Cosmo Magazine is worth it’s weight in Gold…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 5 years you’ve no doubt heard of Harlan Kilstein. This guy’s not only an A-Level copywriter…

My point isn’t that Harlan’s a bad a$$, my point is… check out this email Harlan sent out to his list talking about my Cosmo Swipe file…

Here’s What A-Level Copywriter Harlan Kilstein Had To Say In An Email To His List…

"On the Checkout Humiliation Scale. . . Buying Cosmo Is Right Up There With Grabbing a Box of Super Absorbent Tampax. . . "

There were 3 boxes of Cosmopolitans laying dormant in her basement…She calls it her "Someday I’m gonna read this pile"…

Words can’t express the happiness I felt while smuggling this bucket load of smut out of my Grandmas hands….

SEX HE CRAVES. We help you discover his most dirty-licious fantasies – so you can deliver the naughty goods….

Nothing could have made me feel more at ease than plucking these filthy magazines from her basement. Just the thought of my grandma delivering the dirty goods makes me vomit ‘just a little’ in my own mouth…Sorry but it does. Ewwwwwwww…

What’s cool though, is in those 3 boxes she had nearly every issue of Cosmo for the last 10 years…With the box safely nestled in my office, I spent the next 14 grueling hours hunched over my keyboard…

Inside you’ll find 981 headlines plucked straight from the covers of nearly every Cosmo Magazine to pass through my grandma’s hands for the past 10 years…

That’s 50 pages of the hardest hitting, dirtiest, most attention grabbing headlines to ever hit your desktop…

If this swipe file doesn’t GET YOU MONEY, then I insist on returning your money, plus I’ll let you keep everything for FREE.

I don’t know, or your situation so I can’t make you any promises…But I can tell you that 100’s of copywriters from across America have been using these same headlines to double, tripe, or even quadruple there incomes.

But, let’s say you don’t buy this swipe file where will that you leave you? Will you get ahead using your current strategy? Probably not…

Will you be kicking yourself for the rest of your life because you didn’t care to cough up some loose change and invest in yourself?

Yes Eric I realize that John Carlton, Gary Halbert, Eben Pagan and Dan Kennedy ALL Recommend Cosmo Magazine for Writing Headlines So I Really Can’t Go Wrong On This One!

We all are guilty of sending boring emails but that can all change right now. If you need to wake up your list, get attention and make the cash register ring, then buy this. It is open on my computer constantly, feeding me ideas.

Gary Halbert, Jay Abraham, John Carlton – all the big marketers say to study headlines from Cosmo and the tabloids but till now it was difficult.

And from a persuasion perspective, if you can get their attention you have the opportunity to get your message into their head.

How To Get Started Homeschooling Download

If you are considering home-schooling your children but you are scared and don’t know if you can or should do it, then you are in the right place. Many have gone before you and I am here to help empower you to get started quickly and be successful!

Hi, My name is Cindy Youngblood, I’m mother of 2 children, we live and Home-school in Florida.


I took my son out of school in the first grade after 2 years of being called in for numerous conferences about his confusing behavior and struggling academic performance. They hinted around at ADD but I refused to medicate him, my intuition told me I needed to better understand him, and figure out why he was struggling, something that would never happen if he were on brain altering drugs.

Many of you, like myself, may be considering homeschooling as a solution to “trouble” in the traditional school setting. Maybe your child, like mine, was considered a problem because they have trouble focusing with 20-30 other kids around and therefore struggling completing assignments. Or, maybe you’re fed up with the quality of education or content of curriculum your child is receiving in public school.

Everyday thousands of children in compulsory schools are falling behind in academics, having their souls crushed by bullies, their being exposed to all variety of dangers and subjected to things their young minds are not developmentally ready for.

Many teachers today, even seasoned ones, do not understand how different brain development affects learning in boys and girls and therefore, they do not apply ANY gender specific training strategies in the classroom.

And because they do not alter the learning environment the trend is to medicate our children so they will fit into the standard classroom doing formal curricula. Further more….kids who enter kindergarten unable to meet the ridiculously high Common Core academic requirements that are being pushed, will be labeled “learning disabled”.

The Common Core is an attempt to enforce a national curriculum and diminish your educational freedom. This along with the push for earlier academics is being led by our government that knows… the earlier they get our kids, the more they can mold and shape their young minds instead of us as parents molding them.

Thanks to the information I share with you in “We Love Homeschooling” you will be Empowered to Make a Change. Don’t wait another moment!

Once I took my son out of school, I learned probably the most fundamental thing about education: It’s a joy to be home with my child all day watching him grow and learn!

The world can be your classroom. Now you can take your family on “mini” trips whenever you want! Which means you have the freedom you have always wanted!

These are just a few of the many benefits to schooling your children at home! Not to mention the feeling of achievement you will have from teaching and bonding with your children in a way you could not before. Few families ever get to experience this, but YOU can. Homeschooling your kids will save you time, give you the freedom you want and give you the opportunity to know your kids in a way you never have before.

Although Homeschooling is rapidly growing in America the sad reality is that there are still too few parents out there who feel empowered enough to take it on. And these are a few of the myths people have come to believe:

Fact: “There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.” –Mahatma Gandhi

Fact: Public school “socialization” is killing our kids. There are many quality ways to provide your children with superior social experiences!

When I started Home-schooling….I had No Idea… What to do, What to teach, Where to get curriculum or if I could do it.

ALL I knew was that I had to try for my son’s sake! I’ve made many mistakes along the way and I have learned a lot too. It took me 2 years to discover all that I am going to teach you in less that 2 hours.

Inside the “We Love Homeschooling” Classroom you will find help to Get Started Homeschooling Today…You will discover how we almost went down the road of expensive behavior analysis and brain altering medication thinking my son might be ADHD or something worse, to having a bright, happy engaging and confident young boy without medication or any behavior labels.

“I get really excited about homeschooling today when I think about how far my son has come and how much our time together has allowed me to really get to know and understand him. The relationship we’ve built through homeschooling is such a joy and a gift that I will be eternally grateful for.”

When you purchase your 100% risk free Access to  “We Love Home-schooling” you will get Instant Access to 5 videos packed with content to help you Get Started Homeschooling with Great Confidence.  These videos will allow you to absorb the material in a fraction of the time it would take you to order then read a book or magazine, search the Internet or attend a conference.

[GET] Acoustic Guitar Money: How To Make GOOD Money with Your Guitar, Train For Competitions, More! Click Here For Details!

“The answer is YES! I play live acoustic guitar music almost every week of the year, making good, regular money—and I’m going to show you exactly how you can do it, too–even if you don’t play guitar and can’t even sing! And lots of people are now using live acoustic guitar shows to train for American Idol and other competitions–read below!”

There are lots of books online about how to play guitar, singing lessons, etc. But none that I’ve seen that tell you specifically the best ways to make money with your guitar without having to join one or more bands, wear yourself out trying to make ends meet, and feeling like you can’t win. Instead of going solo, most guitar players, songwriters, and artists looking to make money usually try to join or form a band. That can be a good thing in time, but it can be tough to get all the right players together that think the same way you do, buy all the equipment, market the band, learn all the songs, practice, and try to book gigs that pay well enough, which doesn’t happen for a long time for bands that aren’t established. Not that being in a band is bad—it just requires a lot more time and it’s harder to make good money.


And if you’re like I was, you need money NOW, not a bunch of expenses and waiting around–right? Well, there is a better way, if you want some fast, fun, weekly music income or want to train to try out for American Idol or other competitions–without working a lot of long, bad hours for little money. The best answer I have found is: live acoustic guitar gigs–one of the best kept secrets for making good money playing guitar and singing, and training for competitions. Why acoustic guitar shows? Acoustic guitar gigs require minimal equipment, you don’t have to find or worry with other musicians, most of the best songs to use are songs you’ve heard or played all your life anyway, playing acoustic guitar shows is a great way to practice the same techniques successful contestants use, and you can easily book gigs that pay $25, $50, or more per hour, if you know where and how to book them. And then, if you’re the guitar player and the singer, you get to keep all the money, tips and all! Awesome!

Even if you just play guitar and don’t sing, that fine—just find someone who sings and you can do smaller live acoustic gigs as a duo and still make very good money. Don’t play guitar? No problem. Have one person play keyboard and the other sing—that works, too. Compared to being in a band, with acoustic guitar shows, most of the time you don’t have to work from 10pm to 2am then break everything down and get home at 4am or later. Most acoustic gigs go from 7-11 pm or earlier, for 3-4 hours tops, and setup & break down is easy. And at $100 to $300 a gig 3-5 times a week, that’s pretty good money per hour, and per year! Doing acoustic guitar gigs correctly can be a great paying hobby, too, if playing guitar and singing is just a hobby or pastime.

Or, if you want to try out for American Idol, X Factor or America’s Got Talent, playing live acoustic guitar and singing regularly can really help you train and give you your best chance of winning. And playing solo acoustic guitar shows can be very good for building vocal technique and stage presence. Talk about making money with a guitar—take a look at many of the past winners and top contestants of American Idol and other competitions and you will see that Phillip Phillips, Scotty McCreery, Kevin Skinner, etc., all played an acoustic guitar during try outs and performances, and had a history of playing acoustic guitar shows before trying out. And if you watch the try outs for solo artist and American Idol winner Phillip Phillips, he sang a song, but then the judges asked him to go back and do a song with his acoustic guitar, then they said “oh , yes, that’s it–you’re through to Hollywood!”—and then he WON! Kevin Skinner won America’s Got Talent a couple of years ago by doing what–playing acoustic guitar and singing. Sounds like a there’s a pattern there, doesn’t it? Hmmm…I think I know what one of the secrets is…

There definitely are certain tricks, techniques, and secrets that you must know to make good regular money with a guitar and train for competitions. There are a lot of acoustic guitar players out there that don’t stay booked, or make good money, and some that think they are practicing to try out for American Idol, but just aren’t improving. That’s why I wrote this online book “Acoustic Guitar Money”—to help guitarists, artists and other musicians support themselves in the best ways possible and achieve their goals faster, with less effort. Solo or duo acoustic guitar shows done in a certain format, with the right song selection, using the right singing, guitar, and stage presence techniques, and by following a few other simple rules works very well . Not following ‘the rules’ doesn’t work, and I know this because I did it wrong for a while, too. However, I learned the right way from other very successful acoustic players, vocal trainers, and artists, and I’ve been playing acoustic gigs successfully now for several years so I know the techniques definitely work.

This online book contains the best secrets, tricks, and techniques that I use every week to support myself while playing acoustic guitar shows, writing songs, training myself, and working on my music career. You can…

WWOOF Latin America is the website that links to all the national WWOOF organizations in Latin America and lets you communicate with fellow WWOOFers. Welcome to WWOOF Latin America! Farms listed in WWOOF organizations are part of a world-wide effort to promote the concept of organic farming, sustainable agriculture and responsible consumer habits. As part of this effort, host farms offer WWOOF members the opportunity to learn by doing. Listed farms will host WWOOF members free of charge. As a guest in a WWOOF farm your learning experience is based on you participating in the daily chores of running the farm. In doing so, you can learn a variety of techniques employed by member farms including organic farming, Permaculture and Biodynamics. In addition to learning about organic farming, you can also learn about the local ecology and culture while getting to meet fun and interesting people. Your daily chores at WWOOF farms may include harvesting, preparing soil for planting, milking, cleaning pens, digging trenches, maintaining fences and such; and generally involve about 5 to 7 hours per day, 5 to 6 days per week. Each farm has its own chores, rules and schedules. WWOOF organizations in Latin America are affiliated to the International WWOOF Association (www.wwoof.org and www.wwoofinternational.org) which promotes environmentally friendly farming and consumer habits by helping bridge the gap between consumers and environmentally-responsible farmers. WWOOF organizations compile and publish for their members a list of host farms in each country. Through their websites, you can contact the farms which you wish to visit and make the necessary arrangements for your stay.
