Accounting Paradise - Small Business Help

Accounting Paradise…no, that’s NOT an oxy-moron believe it or not! I own three small businesses, do most of my accounting and my entire payroll in-house, and have often teased that we should be the poster children for QuickBooks. However, I know many other owner-operator business people that are not big enough to need a full time expensive accounting staff, and don’t have the knowledge or time to do it themselves. There is now a solution…WOW…this IS a great idea. Knowing QuickBooks inside and out, and knowing what it usually costs, and what can be expected from out sourcing accounting, I understand most people’s doubt. When I looked over the website of Accounting Paradise, I was pleased with the prices, the ethic, and the possibility for so many to find affordable out-sourced accounting online. Imagine being able to handle your payroll, accounting, and business tax issues on your own time, and online. Discounts are available for those needing to purchase QuickBooks, and the bookkeeping fees are explained right on the website. Your main question, “Why Would I Use Them?”, and the underlying doubt of “How Would This Work?” are both addressed at AccountingParadise.com. This post sponsored by Accounting Paradise.

BUG - The Movie - IN YOUR BLOOD EATING YOUR BRAIN!

OK horror movie creep lovers…FINALLY, a new movie is being released that will spark your screeches and wiggles for real. Not since the Exorcist, has such quality in horror hit the big screen. Lionsgate Films has teamed with the academy winning director William Priedkin (The Exorcist and The French Connection), to bring us BUG. There hasn’t been a really believable and “creepy-crawly” bug movie released in a very long time. Imagine Agnes, a down and out waitress just trying to get by and escape the regular horror of a mean and abusive husband. After finally beginning to live again, and attempting romance with a sexy drifter…THE BUGS COME! The bugs live in her blood and FEED ON HER BRAIN (is your skin crawling yet?). In a world where nothing is as it seems, and reality is nightmarish…Lionsgate Films chose the stunningly beautiful, down to earth, and extremely believable Ashley Judd to star in this unimaginably disturbing bug movie. The film also stars Michael Shannon, Lynn Collins, Brian O’Byrne, and the very popular Harry Connick, Jr. If the story line, the cast, and the director aren’t enough to draw patrons to the theater, the movie posters surely will entice the artistic doubters. Brilliant spooky art splashes one poster, creating a giant bug with Ashley Judd’s silhouette embedded in the bug’s body, and its feelers created from wisps of long hair. Apparent splotches of blood create optical illusions of other bug parts, or by-products perhaps. Perhaps it’s the bug’s dripping fangs that cause the spots. The other movie poster features a shadowy serious pose of Ms. Judd…with a silhouette of her co-star embedded within her face. They share the same eye, giving the appearance of like thought, but the mystery of difference as he’s turned away, and apparently living inside her head…much like the bugs! Very mysterious bug movie indeed. BUG – IN THEATERS MAY 25TH. This post sponsored by Bug.

Get White - Get Bright - EveryDentist.com

SMILE! – Show me those pearly whites. Oh, you don’t have pearly whites? If you’ve never tried out cosmetic dentistry, don’t wait any longer. I finally purchased the products for teeth whitening, and with regular use, it works like a charm. Cosmetic dentists (and many general dentists) will have you make an appointment and take an exact impression of your upper and lower teeth. They will make a mold for you, and give you a bleaching substance for you to fill the mold with. At home, every other day, you will fill the mold and place the bleaching material in your mouth and leave it for at least 2-4 hours. Many people just sleep with them in for longer lasting results. The bleaching substance doesn’t taste bad, and in a couple of weeks, you can really tell the difference. Check out the dentist directory at EveryDentist.com and search out a dentist in your area. I found several dentists from Reno listed here. Get white, get bright!

I've Earned Over $300 With PayPerPost

You’ve all seen the PayPerPost disclosure section on the right side bar of this blog. PayPerPost is the online advertising medium that allows bloggers like you and I to make money just by posting articles on our blogs about the advertisers’ products. It’s a very real endeavor and fun as well. I promised updates on how the “money-earning” was coming, and it’s time to report in. Since October, 2006 when I signed up for PayPerPost, I have earned $327.90. I don’t participate every day, and I ONLY CHOOSE opportunities from advertisers that spark my interest, or seem like a good idea for people I know that read Blah Blah Blog – The Soap Box. It’s highly possible for a diligent postie to earn up towards $30 per day. And, for the really dedicated…offers do come around that pay into the HUNDREDS or even more than ONE THOUSAND dollars once in a while. I am using the money I earn to help pay for my son’s upcoming summer trip to Europe as a student ambassador with People to People (cost $5500.00). It’s a good thing I learned of PayPerPost, as I also placed a PayPal Donate option on this blog to earn money for the trip, and that balance today stands at ZERO. Check out PayPerPost for yourself, and earn the money you need for a special project.

Based on a book that has been around for several years, the movement toward humility and giving has begun a movement so strong, the movie was created in order to share this heart-warming story to millions. Schools are beginning to incorporate its meaning into school curriculum, and the successful teen philanthropy initiative called “Show Of Hands” was also inspired by “The Ultimate Gift” This is the official site of the movie "The Ultimate Gift" and the grass-roots movement its starting to help charities and give to others.

Belisi - How It Started

I just love a good entrepreneurial story. I remember meager beginnings, and although as a business owner today, I’m still just “little mom & pop”, but we certainly do more and have more than we did before owning our own businesses. Peter Belisi was a bartender in Palm Beach. Looking for so much more, and wanting more for his family. Living in the elite Palm Beach, he felt he had to look more like an elitist if he was ever to be one. He began to spend his extra pennies on neck ties…yes, neck ties. Matching the perfect tie with his average clothes…he began to get responses from those who never used to notice. Voila…his idea was launched. Belisi Fashions. Peter believes that accessories are the start of a good look, not the finish. He has built a company based on that idea, and is doing well. I perused the choices at Belisi.com and was impressed that for that trendy gentleman…he has plenty for them to choose from. His accessories are unique too, which makes a “style” become truly your own. Belisi Fashions also allows a small amount of EVERY purchase to go to your favorite charity. His belief coming from meager beginnings was to make sure that if successful, he gave back when he could. Great heart, great idea, great company…we need more like him. Check out the story of Belisi - How it Started. Then, go shopping at Belisi.com for a trendsetting neck-tie, join the neck-tie club, and look into the new handbag line.

Taser Stun Gun Can Save You - GPS Locator Can Find You

Most people think of home security or self defense to mean alarm systems, surveillance camera systems, mace or pepper spray, etc. Home security really means true protection to the best of one’s ability to save their families whether at home or away. Did you know that a Taser Stun Gun can be used for so much more than to fend off a robber? In the greater Southwest where hiking, rock climbing or rock finding, arrow head searching, or hunting in general is highly popular, poisonous snakes are always a threat. The old ways of cutting a snake bite in the shape of an “X”, and having someone suck the poison out is outdated. A taser stun gun can save your life. A shock to the bitten area immediately after a bite will electrically dissipate the poison and give you time to seek treatment. GPS LOCATORS HERE Another form of home security that is necessary in today’s times is the ability to find your children in an instant. GPS locators are becoming ever more popular to help parents find their little ones instantly, or keep up with those daring teenagers that never seem to be where they say they are going to be. BrickhouseSecurity.com offers any kind of traditional security product you might think of, as well as providing many obscure forms of security devices you might have never thought of. They have computer surveillance gadgets to help you keep up with employee’s computer activity. Also available, many audio or video surveillance options.
