When considering whether to purchase a cell phone or a blackberry, one of the most important features to consider is cell phone technology. While blackberries still out perform the traditional cell phone, cell phone technology is rapidly catching up. With the cell phone’s ability to text, download, instant message, and even calculate the tip percentage in a restaurant, their technology is ample for most individuals.

Blackberries have a considerable amount of technological capability when compared to cell phones of even just three years ago. And while blackberry technology continues to advance, it is not progressing at the same rate as cell phones are. Cell phones have increased so much in their popular necessity that most technological manufacturing companies are focusing on the implementation of cell phone advancement. Cell phone advancement turns into a larger profit margin than blackberry advancement.

With the enhancements to cell phone technology that have already taken place, most people replace their cell phones every 12 to 18 months. Very few people hold on to their cell phones for more than 2 years. It is important to cell phone owners to keep up with the latest technology and everything that a cell phone is capable of handling.

Blackberry replacement statistics suggest that the average blackberry owner replaces their equipment every 24 to 48 months, thus lowering the repurchase value. Just like any other technology equipment on the market, with greater popularity and equivalent technology advances, the cost of the technology decreases even as the technology itself enhances.

Most people choose cell phone technology due to its relative ease and familiarity. Those who are not inclined to get excited about new technology do not even know what a blackberry is, though nearly everyone knows what a cell phone is and what you can do with one.

Each individual’s personal inclination toward technological advancements is a matter of choice. Cell phones are such a staple in our society that even those who have alternate technology still carry a cell phone. It can be more convenient than trying to explain something new to someone who doesn’t understand it. Cell phone technology isn’t that far behind most other portable technological advancements. Cell phone technology has advanced to the point that most of us would be lost without our cell phones. We rely on them for everything from placing a call to waking us up in the morning to knowing when to pick up our kids at soccer practice.

Whether you joined your company for the additional income, the fun and products, or the tax benefits, taking the following steps will enable you to get control of your business finances for higher profits and greater peace of mind.

· Control your spending. Write down in advance what you will need for your business in the coming month. First, focus on business essentials such as catalogs and show supplies. Then be conservative for additional expenditures like buying equipment for your office or supplies for organizing.

· Be creative. Necessity is the mother of invention. Find ways to reduce unnecessary expenses by thinking creatively. Invite a prospect to your home for dessert and coffee rather than taking her to lunch at a restaurant. Make long distance calls to customers and hostesses on your cell phone if your plan includes free long distance minutes. Find new ways to save!

· Get Organized. Disorganization not only costs you time; it costs you money as well! Avoid wasting money on too many copies or duplicating forms by organizing your files. In addition, have a place in your wallet and a file in your desk where you place receipts for business expenses. Imagine the thousands of dollars in tax-deductions you may have missed simply because you did not keep a receipt.

· Track every business expense for the month. At the end of each month, total what you have spent on your business. Consultants who are maximizing tax benefits keep two totals: “Essential Expenses” and “Maximized Write-Offs” so they can see the additional benefits they are enjoying from their legitimate home-based business expenses. Write the highest total on the outside of a 9X12 envelope for each month.

· Track your income. List all your income for the month on the outside of the envelope as well. These will include Retained Profits (the 30-36% you keep from each show), Overrides (the amount earned on your team’s sales volume), and Bonuses (kit and volume bonuses).

· Compare income to expenses. Subtract your expenses from your income and evaluate the results. Keep in mind that if you are maximizing your tax benefits by writing off every legitimate expenses you would incur whether you had a business or not, you may show a loss that does not truly reflect the profitability of your business. This saves you tax dollars!

· Make necessary adjustments. How can you reduce expenses next month? Are there expenses, such as mileage that you are not taking advantage of? How can you increase your income next month? These questions will help you get greater control of your business finances and give you a feeling of confidence and success!

i heard recently that britney was buying a restaurant for her father who was made co-conservator of her personal and professional affairs following her public breakdown last year. i thought that she didn’t approve of her father’s conservatorship. why would she reward him with a restaurant?
A source said: "Britney just wanted to give him something useful as a sign of her appreciation.

His guidance seems to have helped, look, she’s on Letterman in a bikini. Well, she IS better off than before. He took control when she really needed it, so she should be grateful. Also by giving him a business to run, he’ll be turning his attention elsewhere now.

The final chapter where Patty pursues perfection. Can she do it???

This is a sequel to Chapter One of Episode One. I couldn’t upload the actual episode in its entirety because the total video length would have been over 15 minutes long!

Like I said in Chapter One, I was quite rusty during gameplay since I was playing this game at 1 AM on a Monday night (or early Tuesday morning if you want to be technical). You could tell I nearly made mistakes especially during the last level.
