The Ultimate Cheeseburger on a Grill
The grill is a very nostalgic thing. Most people remember their fathers standing over the grill during the summer and braving the huge flames to turn out some burnt hot dogs and shriveled hockey pucks posing as hamburgers. Those simple items have advanced now and some people make their teriyaki tofu with asparagus spears. Some like to cook other meats like pork chops and steaks in place of hamburgers and brats and other sausages instead of simple hot dogs. I'm a huge chicken fan myself. But every once in a while I like to revisit my childhood and wrap my lips around a great burger. I don't have my father's grill. My grill runs off of gas and is easily controlled. His was a fire hazard that made a huge mess each time it was lit.
The convenience of the gas grill prompted me to a play around with some burger recipes frequently until I found one that I absolutely love. It's ridiculously simple and utterly fantastic. This burger recipe is a thick and juicy beef burger smothered in Monterey jack and white cheddar cheese with grilled onions and a toasted bun. I even threw in a chipotle mayonnaise with a lot of black pepper for an extra kick.
Ultimate Grilled Cheeseburgers:
This burger is going to be screaming with bold flavors. At the store, pay attention to the fat content of your hamburger. I don't necessarily care for one cut of beef over the other for this recipe. Ground round, chuck, whatever you can find will work just fine. Make sure it has at least 20% fat content, however. Next, we'll need a small bottle of liquid smoke, a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, an big onion, (yellow, white, red, it doesn't matter) a can of chipotle peppers, white cheddar and jack cheese, mayonnaise if you don't have it. Be sure to pick up your favorite hamburger buns. And if you want anymore fixings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, then be sure to grab them.
Mixing the burgers should be easy. Just place the meat into a big bowl, add 1 tablespoon of liquid smoke, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and some salt and pepper to taste. And my secret ingredient for holding these burgers together is 1 medium sized egg. These amounts are based on 1 pound of beef. For every extra pound, add another tablespoon and another egg. 1 pound should yield approximately 4 burgers. After mixed, begin to form the burger shape and place on a platter or cookie sheet.
Turn your grill to medium and let it heat up for 10 minutes or so. While the grill's getting warm, we want to mix that chipotle mayonnaise. In a blender, mix 1 cup of mayo with 3 of the chipotle peppers and some of the red sauce in the can, then add some black pepper to taste and blend together. If you want, you can spruce this up with anything in your house: mustard, lime juice, bourbon, etc. This recipe is really spicy so if you're concerned with the heat, just use 1 or 2 peppers.
Peel your onion and cut it in slices about ¼ inches thick. Make sure to place these onions on your grills racks with the burgers. Turn then when you turn the burgers. Once the grill is hot, place the burgers on. They should cook relatively quickly and the fire will begin to flame broil the burgers when the fat starts to drip out. Let them cook for 5 minutes per side, cut the heat completely off, and add the cheese to each burger. I use a lot of cheese and let it melt on for about 5 minutes. Also, before closing the lid with the heat off, place your hamburger burns, cut side down, on the grill racks to let them get toasted. Brush the buns with the chipotle mayonnaise and build the burger you want. These burgers are amazing and you will definitely want more than one.

Master ebooks resale rights by PANKAJ GARG
The global Internet audience is growing at an exponential pace, and anyone with a single iota of marketing sense knows that a global audience there for the taking is too good an opportunity to pass up. So Internet marketing is growing at an exponential pace as well, and among the hottest marketing properties are master resell ebooks rights.
Master resell ebooks rights allow you to sell ebooks without actually having to write them yourself or pay someone to write them. You simply pay for the rights to use and resell the ebooks of your choice, and not only that, because you are paying for master resell ebooks rights, you can also sell the rights to resell them.
You can also sell the ebooks separately from the resell rights; you can sell the ebooks and resell rights as a package; or you can sell the resell rights as a stand-alone offering. Master resell ebooks are attractive simply because they allow your customers the opportunity to become resellers with a shot to make some money themselves!
The master resell ebooks you decide to purchase will depend on your particular marketing niche, but the great majority of them are devoted to making money on the Internet through, you guessed it, marketing.
They may be targeted to specific audiences like those marketing vitamins or dog training techniques or fitness programs, but all of them are being used as marketing tools by those from whom you purchase them. When you resell them, you can do it in a way that puts them to work marketing for you. How?
First make sure the ebooks you buy master resell rights for are interestingly, accurately, and informatively written on topics with wide appeal. Make sure not only that you know what is in each of them, but that you have actually used their suggestions. Then get creative with your own marketing efforts which will help rebrand the master resell ebooks to reflect your style.
Most master resell ebooks come with pre-written sales letters, but you should make changes to this to make it uniquely your own, as you are probably not the only marketer promoting the ebooks, and you need to distinguish your efforts from those of your competitors.
You can also include you own affiliate links, or make an incentive offer contingent on those who want your ebooks registering at your site or signing up for your newsletter.
You'll be building your customer lists, and the secret to any successful marketing campaign is the degree to which it lets you build a base of customers with whom you can regularly contact.
As long as you build and maintain a reputation of offering high-quality, accurate and readable master resell ebooks to those on your list, they will keep coming back, and not only your ebooks but your affiliate links will be earning you money!

Select the Best Affiliate Program by Rajeev Negi
Are you having difficulties in selecting an internet affiliate program to join and promote? Too many opportunities to sort through Uncertain of your next step guess what - you are not alone. Join the crowd! You will probably find the road full of potholes in your research, review and selection of the right affiliate program for you.
You should consider the following steps to help you make the decision on which affiliate program to join and promote. First, you need to find the affiliate programs that are available for you to join and promote. Second, you need to sort through all these opportunities to learn the details of each affiliate program. Third, you need to select a program (or programs) that fit your wants and needs (whatever they may be).
I am making the basic assumption that you want to select a program that will result in cash flowing into your pocket rather than flowing out of your pocket. Look out for the potholes in the road. There are a lot of them out there. You should keep in mind that most affiliate programs will not make any promises regarding your future potential earnings or lack of earnings. Warning - Avoid any program that makes promises that seem unrealistic or too good to be true.
You should review a wide selection of affiliate programs before you decide which program (or programs) is right for you. As painful as it sounds, you need to do the research before making any decision. You should perform sufficient (and not necessarily exhaustive) research to understand what programs exist and what they provide to the affiliate (promoter/seller) and customer (buyer). The amount of research you perform depends on what you need to make an informative decision.
The process of research is probably the most painful and yet the most educational part of setting up an online internet business. Do not cut it short because you will probably pay for it dearly in different ways at a later date. This includes spending unnecessary money, pursuing the wrong marketing paths and just plain wasting your time and energy.
It is essential to perform thorough research if you are going to profit from any promotional effort of an affiliate program. It is an established fact that commercial success starts with having a product to sell (hopefully a product that provides value, usefulness and/or happiness to the buyer of the product). It is another well known fact that the economics picture is not complete without a seller and a buyer that are willing and able to sell and buy the product. Warning - Do not get involved with an affiliate program where it is uncertain what comprises the actual product being sold.
Many factors, including the selling price of the product and the total cost of the product (potential costs include manufacturing, storing, distributing, marketing, and selling), need to be evaluated to determine if a profit can be made on the promotion and sale of an affiliate product. As a side note, the difference between financial success and failure could be a simple matter of promoting a product that has more appeal or intrinsic value to the potential buyer than the cost of the product.
The research process should consist of gathering sufficient information on potential opportunities that will enable you to make an informed decision on what affiliate program(s) to join and promote. You will need to devote precious time and energy to accomplish this phase of the affiliate selection process.
In order to locate the affiliate opportunities, you should start by using a national search engine. Select "key words" in your search (such as: affiliate opportunities, affiliate ebook, affiliate networks, affiliate income, affiliate marketing, etc) to locate opportunities. Be innovative and change the search word(s) to match your personal needs and interest. You should probably direct your attention to the top 10 to 20 search results for any key word group since these are likely to be the websites with the highest level of internet traffic. Higher traffic is an indicator that the website gets visitors and is probably in demand. Demand is important since it is one part of the economic "demand versus supply" equation.
Write down the appropriate information from each website that will provide you with data to review after you complete you're online searching. You should probably print out the sales letter and any other useful information that will help in your follow-up review and evaluation. Part of your research will include communicating with the owner of each website that you are considering.
In addition, join some of the internet discussion boards and chat rooms that discuss the topic of affiliate programs. This can potentially provide a wealth of information in your review and comparison process. You can use the search engines to find these discussion boards and chat rooms.
Another source of information resides in ebook and ezine articles that have already been written on the subject of affiliate programs and affiliate marketing. You can locate these ebook and articles by using the search engines. Do not hesitate to communicate with the authors. Work with the authors because it may help you in your quest for usable information. You may find some authors willing to discuss your specific concerns since it may provide them with useful material for their future use.
In the process of performing your research, you will be compiling a lot of hand-written notes and web page printouts of potential affiliate programs. Furthermore, you will probably accumulate material on your computer;s hard drive of website pages on affiliate programs that you had an interest in performing a follow-up analysis upon.
The process of research is not only time consuming but also may consume some of your money. How much money you spend depends on the types of programs you are considering. Furthermore, you may have to join a program or purchase something (for example, buy the ebook that is being promoted) in order to get the information you need for your review and evaluation phase. You should always ask for a free copy - it does not hurt to try.
Keep yourself organized by putting the paper information (hand-written notes and web page printouts) into 3-ring binders. Use tab inserts to separate each affiliate program. Each tab insert should be labeled with an appropriate affiliate program title. This will enable easy identification of each program in the binder and access to the detailed data.
The next step is to make a "summary table" that includes each affiliate program you are considering. The summary table should contain information on each affiliate program such as: name of the program, URL website, definition of what the program offers to the affiliate, description of what is offered to the customer of the product, cost of the program to the customer, commission payable to the affiliate, description of the downlink sales commissions (if any), training available to the affiliate by the owner of the product, sales material available to the affiliate, etc. Next, you need to review, evaluate and compare the various affiliate programs at a summarized level. This is the phase of utilizing all the information that you collected, categorized and organized during the search phase. This process can now be accomplished with considerably less stress and anxiety than just looking at a list of affiliate programs.
You now have the important and essential information (that fulfills your needs) necessary to make an informed decision. The summary table provides you with the data to compare the different affiliate opportunities (whether it is only two or many). At this point, your review and evaluation process will probably lead to more questions. However, your questions should now be much targeted. Any follow-up research you need to perform to obtain answers should be highly focused.
Make certain you communicate with the owner of each affiliate program to gain as much knowledge as possible about the respective affiliate program. The owner of the program should be anxious to hear your questions and help you since it could result in increased revenue to the owner. Make your questions as direct and to the point as possible to uncover your deepest concerns.
Finally, what did you achieve or learn from your search of ebook and ezine articles on the topic of affiliate topics? Use this information in your decision process. You should communicate with the author(s) if you found something of interest that can help you in your eventual decision. The author(s) should also be willing to talk to you since it could result in material for future ebook they might write.
I hope you find this information valuable and worth your time in reading. A decision based on having the appropriate information is definitely worth more than a decision made by "guessing." This article is just the beginning. You will find your niche in affiliate programs by performing a proper research, review and comparison of available programs before making your informed decision. Good luck in your quest to find the right affiliate program(s) for your future personal and financial success.

How to Prevent Identity Theft in Less Than 24 Hours
Preventing identity theft is difficult, there are ways to reduce the risk of having your identity stolen, but it is near impossible to fully prevent it. The shear amount of information that is available for anyone to look is ridiculous. If someone had a desire to, they could easily find your social security number and find out information about you that isn't desirable to be out in the public.Let's take a look at an average Saturday, you take your kids the doctor for a checkup, they scan your insurance card and drivers license and put it on file. Anyone can easily look in that file and take what they need. You drop the kids off with the babysitter and take a night out with your husband. He pays for dinner with the credit card by handing it to the waitress.These are just activities that everyone does on a daily basis, yet each time we trust that the waitress isn't going to write down our credit card numbers, we trust that no one is going to take a peek at the medical file. So how do we reduce our risk of identity theft?
Here are a few simple ways that you can prevent it.
Password Protection
Start with passwords, change them occasionally and don't use your mother's maiden name for any password. In fact, don't make a password anything easily guessable. Names are common to use and easy to find out, people can just look up your credit history these days. Changing your passwords will also make it more difficult to find them out.
Sensitive Information
When you are talking to people who claim they need some sensitive information, always as why they need it. Don't hesitate to be curious, ask the teller at the bank if they really need your social security number for a transaction. If someone calls you and then asks you for credit card information, don't give it away. Also, always tear up old bank account statements because they have your bank number on them.
Free Credit Report
Take advantage by requesting your annual free credit report. Make it a habit to order it and go over in detail. Watch for fraudulent charges or anything that looks fishy. Look for addresses that you have never lived at, because this will be a good indication that someone is using your name. Giving you a free credit report is required by federal law, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Do you want to be the next victim of Identify theft? If not, Moolah-Moolah will give you more important tips to avoid becoming a victim.

Tips For Keeping Your Dog Healthy by Joseph M. Sabol
Your dog can be the best thing that can happen to you and your family. It brings in a different kind of joy and unity for all family members. And while pet dogs give you their unconditional gift of joyfulness, you need to take proper care of them. Caring for your pet dog takes more than just feeding and training. Your pet dog needs a balanced diet, happy lifestyle, proper exercise, and regular visits to the veterinarian.
The foremost consideration when having a pet dog is the careful choice of veterinarian. Your dog's vet should be trustworthy and likable. Just like your children who are afraid of dentists, your pet dog may feel estranged and intimated by his doctor. While still a puppy, bring your pet to a vet. Also, it helps if you retain the same veterinarian all throughout his lifetime. Your dog develops a level of familiarity with his vet and staying with the same doctor makes him feel comfortable at every visit.
During a visit to a veterinarian, discuss with your doctor the potential risks or problems that your pet might acquire. State to the vet everything what you give to your dog including food, training, medicine, food supplements, and even his shelter if he has one.
Diseases are very common among dogs. Check on the skin and fur-related problems of your dog, such as ticks, fleas, and worms. You may even ask your doctor to conduct a stool test and examine if there are viruses and worms inside the dog's system. With this, it would be best if you take a stool sample of your pet with you when visiting the vet.
From time to time, the doctor may prescribe medicines or food supplements. Vets apply syringe administration, especially if there is a serious illness, or if your pet dog needs vaccination. Oral administration of medicines also requires careful methods.
Your best care efforts for your dog happen at home. Always feed your dog a balanced meal but avoid overfeeding, as it will cause obesity that can lead to sickness and other health problems. As your pet dog ages, his exercising needs also increases. But make sure the physical activity is appropriate for his abilities. Dietary supplements like chondroitin or glucosamine help in preventing arthritis.
Your pet dog also has needs for his social life. Take him regularly to parks where he can meet other dogs. And most importantly, make him feel that he is a big part of the family. Hugs, strokes, tickles, and playful memories mean so much to your pet dog.

Caffeine Addiction - It's Serious Business by Tim Whiston
Research indicates 9 in 10 people in the U.S. use some form of caffeine on a regular basis. And according to numerous independent studies, over half of the people who use caffeine regularly are dependant.
The American Psychiatric Association clearly defines the withdrawal symptoms individuals may suffer when they stop using caffeine after prolonged consumption. These symptoms indicate physical and psychological addiction to caffeine.
Caffeine has also been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, panic attacks, stomach and GI issues, and a number of other very real health issues. Aside from the major risks, anyone with a coffee habit will tell you about the irritability, fatigue, insomnia, and high levels of nervous tension caused by regular caffeine consumption.
The fact is, caffeine is a very powerful, highly addictive substance. And it's readily available to people of all ages in a very wide range of forms.
Coffee, energy drinks, a variety of black teas, and even diet supplements are consumed in large quantities by the majority of the population in the U.S. and other nations. In many ways it is both surprising and disturbing that an addictive substance has grown to such rampant levels of use and even acceptance in our society.
Caffeine is not associated with health risk in the minds of the average consumer. Most people truly believe several cups of coffee every single day is a harmless habit.
And this fact makes the problem all the more serious! Because people fail to grasp the very real danger of using caffeine very liberally, there is no real incentive to decrease intake or stop altogether.
Caffeine floods the bloodstream with adrenaline and stress hormones. Additionally it increase heart rate significantly while at the same time constricting blood vessels.
These facts alone make caffeine a substantial health risk. Add to this the confirmed findings about the addictive nature of caffeine and we have a severe issue on our hands.
It's interesting that caffeine is the most commonly consumed beverage in a nation where heart disease is the most common terminal illness. It is highly unlikely these statistics are mere chance.
It seems clear that modern culture is knowingly condoning mass consumption of a chemical that has been proven to instigate or worsen heart problems, nervous disorders, digestive issues, and high blood pressure. Caffeine addiction, while not a problem that typically results in fatal overdose, is as lethal in the long-term as many other chemical dependencies and it's crucial that Americans (and citizens of other nations with high usage of caffeine) wake up to this clear and present danger!
When faced with this suggestion, the average coffee drinker will scoff. However, if caffeine is not an addictive substance why do most users report severe headaches, irritability, and even depression after only 12 to 24 hours of abstinence?
Extreme discomfort as the result of not consuming a particular substance is a clear sign of addiction. We should all shudder to think that we are virtually pushing products loaded with caffeine on young children and teens on a daily basis!
Caffeine addiction is serious business and until it is viewed in the proper perspective millions more people will suffer needlessly. Like all addictions, there is help and there are proven methods in place to help individuals overcome.
But the first step is accepting the fact that a problem exists.
