GREAT CARS UNDER 1000 DOLLARS

Brian Ostrowiak

Looking for a fun car that you can buy for pocket change? Take a look at the Honda CRX, arguably one of the best light weight hatches to come from Japan.

Profile: Honda CRX

The Honda CRX came to our shores in 1984 and offered the great package of fun and economy at very low price. The CRX came in two generations and a couple of different models. Ones of note would be the HF which was the lightest weight model that also got an insanely good gas mileage, and the Si model which offered the greatest performance and welcome upgrades like fuel-injection. This little Honda offered a very capable chassis despite having some what less exotic hardware of other models. Many of the CRX's came stock with a carburetor and in early models used a beam axle type rear suspension. In later models this was updated to the much better double-wish bone design which allows so many Honda's to be real giant killers on the race track.

So why is this car worthy of All-Star status? Well of course "it's a Honda" so that means rock solid reliability, fuel economy, and a good ergonomic design.(You can also stuff a lot of crap in the hatch too) However that is just what makes the vehicle a good common sense choice to own for the daily grind. What makes these cars so much fun is the fact that Honda built an extremely light weight car and for those of you not in the know light weight makes for better braking, handling, acceleration, and fuel economy. Although the stock engine choices can provide adequate power those looking for a whole lot more have a seemingly limitless amount of available upgrades. In fact some of the best upgrades can be found in doing a motor swap B16, B18, H22, and the list goes on and on. There are even lots of great upgrades for the stock drive-train and suspension. When it comes to Honda's you can pretty much build a car to do anything from drag, autocross, trackdays, racing, etc. the huge level of aftermarket support is a huge testament to the popularity and capability of these cars.

When shopping for one although I included both generations in this profile I will note that the first generation will be easier to find in the sub-$1000 dollar price range. These cars can be very sought after especially the Si models, but a good search will have you finding what your looking for. A lot of examples may already be modified so be careful to do a close inspection and make sure your not winding up with somebody else's failed and beaten on project car. Of course remember to keep your purposes for the vehicle in mind and remember that Honda parts are still quite cheap so finding a solid body and a nice interior is worth looking for.

So now that we know a little more about Honda's great hot hatch all you need to do is go find one!

EARNING A DOLLAR

 Robert Lemoine

A dollar. It used to be so much. Now it seems like it's nothing. The new generation has no appreciation for the cost of a dollar. The youth of today see us go to the store and slide a piece of plastic through the machine and we leave with "stuff". They have no idea how it works.

My wife and I try to pay with cash on most items so our kids see it's not magic. They watch us at flea markets when people give us money in exchange for merchandise. I think this summer we will let our kids bring back the "lemonade stand". I think it will help them to understand how a dollar works. When I was younger, I wanted a toy that cost about $50 and that was a lot of money for a toy in the early '80's. I was told "NO".

But then my very insightful step-Dad said I could work for it. He had a pile of bricks that had just been thrown into a pile in the wrong spot in the yard and needed them stacked neatly by the fence on the other side of the yard about 250 - 300 feet away. I carried bricks one in each hand, then stacks of 4 or 5 at a time, and then just whatever I could handle. I was so tired. Every day after school for about a week I carried and stacked bricks until dark. When all of the bricks were moved, I was given the money to go get that toy...it was the first Optimus Prime Transformer.

I paid for it with my HARD EARNED DOLLARS and had maybe a couple of dollars change back. A few years ago, they moved that stack of bricks to almost where they started out at. Anyway, I hope to give our kids the same life lesson that a dollar is not just something everybody has and that you have to EARN it. Keep in mind that when we were growing up, our parents went to the bank to deposit a paycheck and went to the bank to get money. It was real, not just a "magic" piece of plastic.

This story was originally written on April 16, 2009. I failed to mention in the story that I still have that toy tucked away in storage. Jeffy Cole, the man who taught me about a dollar, left this world on April 24, 2010. His birthday is quickly approaching and I thought this would be a great tribute to him. After his passing, those bricks moved once again. They are now in my yard, stacked neatly where my boys placed them. That's right, I used them to teach the same value I learned as a small boy. Who knows, those same bricks may be used in the future to teach another generation the value of a dollar.

May you all have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. God bless you all.

online earning

Adam T Bryle

There are many ways to earn online from home, its just a matter of choosing the right way for you and what suits you best. Nowadays a lot of people are searching how to earn money online, but there are a lot of scams across the internet and few legitimate work from home jobs. Hopefully i can give you 3 best way to earn money online. Some of these you can make money online without investment, but some you will require to pay. Some are these are online part time jobs that won't be able to make you a sufficient income, but a nice tidy sum. So lets get on with the 3 ways to earn money online from home.

Freelancing: You can start earning online by becoming a freelancer, basically you just offer your services whenever they are needed. You work when you want basically. If you search on Google you should come across some websites that offer freelancing work, they would be the middle man basically finding you work and letting you know, some are free to join, but some offer a premium service, meaning they would offer you better payed work. Freelancing is probably one of the best legitimate work from home jobs, as you will be able to work in your own time, and select which projects you would like to work on. Like with any online jobs, how much you make is down to how much you want to work. I must stress that there is no ways to make money fast online, if there was a way to make money on the web,everyone will be doing it. Like with any work, you have to work hard to earn a lot of money.

Sell photos on stock photography sites: Do you like taking pictures, do people usually say wow on Facebook or flickr when you upload your shots, why not get paid for these photos. Nowadays its easier to get your photos out into the public. Obviously theirs going to be competition, but its a good way to earn a second little income. And for me, well i wouldn't treat photography as a job, but more as a hobby, and who knows, maybe you could become the next big thing, anyways Try Shutterstock and see how you get on there, for any other photo uploads site, just hit in a simple search term in Google and I'm sure a few sites will come up. Again the i would say is an easy ways to make money online.

Affiliate Marketing: This type of marketing is where you signed up to an affiliate programme, and you promote the merchants product through whatever way you choose. It could be through your own webspace or writing articles through squidoo (Most article sites like EzineArticles will not allow you to place an affiliate link on their page but squidoo does) The most active sectors in affiliate marketing at the moment are gambling, adult, retail industries and file-sharing services. My advice would be to head over to ClickBank and start through them. Affiliate marketing is probably the best way to make a substantial income online. With affiliate marketing, you can make money online without an investment., and in my eyes is the best way to earn money online. There is a place online where you can learn and earn online with affiliate marketing, and any type of marketing.

My names Adam T Bryle, for me my way of making money online is with affiliate marketing, and for every other type of marketing I am learning at the number one internet marketing university. I have a WordPress blog that was built in less then 60 seconds, I offer free basic internet marketing tips, and other ways that you can start earning online.

earning ways

Tim Shank

It's a difficult thing when you don't have enough money in your pocket. Many of us, me included, have worked loyally for years to support ourselves and out families and we just aren't rewarded with the kind of money that we deserve. I know that for me, I worked for the same company for many years and made the principles of the company a lot of money, but they just fed me enough cash to get by. I started looking for a way to be earning extra cash about 10 years ago and since then I have found many ways that work well.

The first, and most obvious way that you can be earning extra cash is to sell things, either though a yard or garage sale or online on an auction website. I'm sure that you have plenty of things that are laying around the house that you don't use on a regular basis that you could part with. There is also the chance that you could buy things for very cheap at local yard sales and turn it into some extra money by selling them to a worldwide market online.

Another thing that can be done to earn extra cash is filling out online forms for money. I'm sure that you have heard this many times, and all of our email boxes are filled with these kinds of offers, but there are ways that you can actually make money online filling out surveys. The real trick to this is getting in with a legitimate company, and not a fly by night outfit that will just take your time, and money and run.

HALF DOLLAR COIN VALUE

 Douglas Taylor

Between 1948 and 1963 the silver half dollar was known as the Franklin Half Dollar and on one side could be seen a picture of Benjamin Franklin and on the reverse side was the Liberty Bell with a small eagle. At the time of it first being minted this coin was required to have a small eagle to the right of the Liberty Bell by law. But what is ironic is that Benjamin Franklin actually opposed the use of the eagle as the USA's national symbol and would have preferred that they turkey (a more noble bird) was used instead.

Then in 1963 the coin was changed upon the death of John F Kennedy the president at that time he was assassinated. But what is the 1963 half dollar coin value and how is it calculated. But the value of this coin changed also because the value of silver had risen between 1962 and 1963 and as this coin contains such a high amount of silver compared to those that were minted in 1964 and onwards.

In the beginning the 1963 half dollar coin was being hoarded by many people for sentimental reasons (as a reminder of a US President who was truly loved) and also because they were the only precious metal US coin that remained in circulation at the time.

At present the 1963 half dollar coin is worth around $4.8141724190 and this relates to its rounded silver value. In order to reach this value a coin dealer will use the following equation. First they will need to get hold of the latest metal prices which at present are $13.31 an ounce for silver and $3.1256 an ounce for copper. They will then take the weight of the coin (12.5g) and convert the weight of the silver and copper within the coin in ounces. They then times the weight of the silver in the coin by the price of silver at the time and then times this by the weight of the coin and then times this finally by the percentage of silver that is contained within the coin and this will give you the final rounded silver value of the coin.

In order to arrive at the 1963 half dollar coin value if the half dollar were melted down, they need to use the same calculations shown above for the copper contained within the coin. Once you have the value of the copper held within the coin you then add this to the value of the silver and this provides the coin dealer with the 1963 half dollar coin melt value.

CUSTOMER REWARDS

 Mario S. Churchill

The idea of a customer reward program is to first get customers interested in your product. That is often achieved by introductory incentives. These incentives might be the lure of free car wash to the first fifty people to pump gas at the new gas station at the corner of East and Vine St. Or it could be a credit card promising not to charge interest on the new card for the first three months of activation. A publishing company might promise a huge raffle with the names of all first time subscribers. The incentive offered to real the customer in depends on the company, the type of product they are promoting, and the type of customer they are hoping to attract.

Once they have the client introduced to the product they have to come up with a way to get that client's pertinent information entered into their computers data base. A credit card company won't have to worry about that, the information would have already been entered when the customer applied for the credit card. But many businesses don't have that luxury they have to think of a way to get the customer into their database and convince their customers that it's a good idea for their name to be there. The company also has to bear in mine that a customer's name typed into their data banks isn't going to do them a lot of good if the customer comes back, preferably that they come back lots of times.

This part of the process normally requires a series of rewards or bribes. These rewards are things given to loyal customers. Some times the rewards are handed out based on how many times a customer has visited a store. Other times rewards are handed out based on the total doller amount a customer has spent at a business.

Most businesses offer customer rewards based on a point system. Each time a customer buys a certain doller amount of merchandise a point is rewarded to their account. When they have accumulated a pre-determined amount of points the company gives them a reward.

Credit card companies often use a point system when with their frequent flyer mile plans. Every time a customer uses their credit card for a purchase points are added to the customers account, these points are put in queue. When a customer has built up enough points they can use them to redeem a free airfare ticket.

Not to long ago customers had to take the companies words on the amount of points the customer had accumulated towards earning a customer reward. Now that so many businesses have websites that is changes. Most business give the customer a user id and a password and the customer can access their account and watch the customer reward points accumulate. This interactive reward point accounting makes customers feel like they have some control over the account.

Several businesses now put expiration dates on the points. If a customer does not redeem their points in a set period of time they loose them. Companies do this to encourage customers to come back as frequently.
