Basic Information About Donating Your Car To The American Red Cross
 |
| Most people are familiar with the work that the American Red Cross does – after all, it is one of the most familiar charities in the United States. What most people don’t know is that that old car that has been littering your lawn or languishing in your garage can be donated to help others in need. What the Red Cross does with the cars it receives from donors like you is fix up these automobiles and sell them at an auction. What is unique about the American Red Cross car donation program is that many of these vehicles are actually sold via auction online. How’s that for technology helping to improve the quality of people’s lives? |
The car donation process is fairly simple – you submit your information to your local American Red Cross chapter, call the national hotline, or fill out the online form on the official Red Cross website, and make arrangements to have your car picked up. One of the perks of American Red Cross car donation is that you will receive a tax deduction for your contribution. The general rule of thumb is that the better condition your car is in, the greater tax deduction you can expect. For many people,donating a car to charity is simply easier than dealing with the hassle of selling their car themselves.

How to Donate a Car to Charity
Car donation has become a well known way of giving to charity whilst avoiding the usual hassle of trying to sell it and also getting yourself a good tax deduction at the same time.
Unfortunately the system has become so popular that everyone has tried to get in on the act and there are a vast amount of well meaning but profit taking middle men out there looking for a cut of your charitable donation, and at the same time there are also plenty of not so well meaning scammers out there too.
Alongside these potential pitfalls, there is then the tricky aspect of dealing with the paperwork with the IRS. This is not as difficult as it sounds, but you do need to make sure you get it right to ensure you receive the benefits to your tax bill. This is purely informational non-profit website set up following my own attempts to donate a car, and how to do it simply and easily. This website absolutely does not recommend any particular charity or car donation scheme

AT&T to include the iPhone in its standard insurance Plan
AT&T the biggest telecom company of U.S has just announced today will finally do away with dedicated iPhone insurance plans and introduce the device to its standard mobile insurance plan at $4.99 a month, a month plus there is an excess of between $50 and $125; depending on which model phone you have.
AT&T Mobile Insurance Update: Effective July 17, 2011, the Apple iPhone (all models) will be eligible for coverage with the AT&T Mobile Insurance program (formerly Wireless Phone Insurance). Enrollment restrictions apply. Customers can only enroll within 30 days of a new activation or upgrade, prior activations or upgrades outside of 30 days are not eligible.
As noted by Mac Rumors, AT&T has long treated the iPhone differently than other devices on the network with regards to insurance. The company didn’t offer any insurance for the first-generation iPhone, but did introduce a special plan in 2010 at $11.99 a month — nearly twice as much as third-party options.

The girl’s guide to getting love
LOVE GUIDENESS
Here are six love lessons to help you to get love into your life: 1: Treat every chance encounter as a speed date Time to develop a 'winner-at-love' mindset and be prepared for the idea that around the next corner is Mr Potential. This means you're ready with a smile plus confident posture radiating positivity that will attract his interest. Treating each encounter like a speed date means you give your best.
Standing hunched over, staring at the floor is a big no-no! But saying something neutral that creates a shared experience is a fab start. For instance, as you both wait for the lift in your office building, smile and say: "This lift can take forever." You immediately create that shared experience.
Of course play it safe - don't give your number to any old guy - but be ready at work, at the sandwich shop, or even at the dentist's or GP's to signal you're approachable.
2: Beware of 'chemical' attraction Make sure the Intense sexual chemistry you have with a particular man isn't leading you down the garden path. Sexual chemistry is great - and yes, couples need a spark - but some women repeatedly get swept off their feet by charismatic men who only want a fling.
If you're looking for love rather than a bit of fun learn to identify the guys only after one thing from those who can offer you more.
Those who only expect sex - and aren't interested in love - tend to ring at the last minute, flirt like mad and use loads of sexual innuendo when with you. And then you don't hear from them until it suits them. Don't waste your time with them!
3: Dump your normal 'type' It's easy to get stuck always dating the same 'type'. You figure you've always liked, e.g., sporty guys, or outgoing guys, so you always go for them. The problem is you miss lots of other good men because they don't look sporty or they aren't the most outgoing in the group.
Be daring, break this relationship bad-habit and go for the opposite type. Try dating that quieter guy or the lanky one who doesn't look sporty. You might find your Mr Right after all.
4: Widen your circle of opportunity You're already enhancing your opportunities by treating every chance encounter like a speed date. Now you've got to reconsider your 'circle of opportunity'. Research shows we have a set geographical and emotional 'circle' we operate in - taking the same route to work, going to the same pub after work, always seeing the same friends and doing the same things.
Seeing as your circle of opportunity hasn't brought you the love of your life it needs changing. Start widening it to maximise love-opportunities. Take new routes to work, go to new places, take a selection of evening classes, enlist a friend to try new bars and clubs with you, and check out some of the singles events in your area as well as internet dating.
5: Make your love-mascot work for you
Sometimes we need inspiration from outside of ourselves. Taking on board a personal love-mascot - in this case someone who's successful in love - can be super helpful.
Think about someone you admire from your life who has a really good relationship. Or a celebrity who has found true love, e.g. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Turn them into your private love-mascot.
Imagine how she approaches her relationship. Can you visualise her confidently chatting up her Mr Right when they first met? If she can do it, so can you. Think of her attitude, her natural ease around men, etc., and bag some of it for yourself every time you walk out of your front door.
When your internal dialogue - that little devil - consists of all that negativity it's hard to hide it. And whereas confidence is highly attractive, a severe lack of confidence and lots of insecurity that you're not good enough for love is a turnoff.
Life can be fantastic as a single when you don't want the hassle of a relationship. But for those who long to find love it can feel very lonely out on the dating scene. It seems like you'll never meet Mr Potential let alone Mr Right.

The problem is you miss lots of other good men because they don't look sporty or they aren't the most outgoing in the group.
But think about it logically (I know, hard to do when it comes to love!) and you will realise you could be jeopardising your chances of finding love. Because if you haven't found it yet with your supposed 'type' - maybe that type isn't for you.
Be daring, break this relationship bad-habit and go for the opposite type. Try dating that quieter guy or the lanky one who doesn't look sporty. You might find your Mr Right after all.

| 6: Be aware of that little devil on your shoulder |
The final - and maybe most important - Love Lesson is banishing that little devil on your shoulder that talks you down. You know, that negative voice that whines on and on telling you things like you're not attractive enough, you're a failure at love, no one's going to ever want you, etc.
When your internal dialogue - that little devil - consists of all that negativity it's hard to hide it. And whereas confidence is highly attractive, a severe lack of confidence and lots of insecurity that you're not good enough for love is a turnoff.
