			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gold is among the most beautiful purchases that you can make. It can be used for both jewelry or as an investment because it is deemed as valuable in all cultures around the world. Those that have sufficient cash to invest in something that will not go out of favor and will at all times retain it&#8217;s worth might consider putting money into gold, even if it is to just buy some coins. As time goes buy, its value usually goes up and you will be shocked at how convenient it&#8217;s to keep some for emergency expenditures.</p>
<p>Purchasing gold as an investment demands that you know where to look and learn how to determine the price you are willing to pay. Finding local sellers of gold is advisable to avoid traveling that can add to the cost of your investment. Gold coins are also being traded over the Internet for people who don&#8217;t mind buying things online. You may either keep them in a safe at home or in a safety box at a bank to ensure that they are safe.</p>
<p>Gold stocks is another way you can invest in gold. Stocks are great because you don&#8217;t have the storage issue as you do with gold coins. They may also be more convenient for those who have more dollars to invest. Needless to say, gold stocks can be used to add a stability factor to any portfolio and with the right investments, you will find yourself building quite a nest egg for your future.</p>
<p>Gold bars may also be a part of your investment portfolio, however be aware that they are quite expensive and can create a safe storage problem. Shopping for gold bars carries with it a commitment to finding a good long term place to keep it protected. You must make sure you don&#8217;t buy too many gold bars when you do not have any plalce to hide them safely.</p>
<p>Investing for your future by buying gold is not something everyone should do. Some people do it purely as a passion and out of a love for the beauty of the metal. Others buy gold for the hedge against uncertainty in a bad economy that it offers. Even others do it hoping to make money if the price of gold rises. No matter what your reason is for getting gold, hopefully it is going to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are always reasons why one may wish to hire a private detective. It may be for business, family, or a nuisance on one&#8217;s village. Nevertheless, the most prevalent issues on private detectives&#8217; successful career maybe due to the increasing demand for finding out a cheating partner. One might be too paranoid to look into changes a partner undergoes &#8211; a sudden interest in weight loss perhaps?</p>
<p>There can be numerous reasons for your doubts that you intend to dig a little to the truth. You may want to know the answer to questions you don&#8217;t want to be answered. The time when you suspect a change in your partner, you start to construct different kinds of scenario but ending into one you don&#8217;t want to know yet feel the compulsion to grasp the reality. You may wonder where your partner is going after a day at the spa and comes home late at night. You may start to question where the calls are coming from that you don&#8217;t know and the gesture of coldness towards you.</p>
<p>You smell perfume and striking get up just to see a friend and when they come back, a different aura is on the air. As soon as you start to talk, there will be a shift of atmosphere drawing arguments out of simple conversations. You may want to start probing on your own before hiring private detectives, then again.</p>
<p>Hiring private investigators can be a solution to your quandary.</p>
<p>To get to the bottom of things, private detectives do their job implicitly. It is their job now to let you know, see or hear the truth. They are paid to uncover mysteries you have solicited in. They can cost you around $60 per hour and above depending on their time and effort to solve your dilemma. Of course, hiring private detectives will be a last resort. You can never be too sure; it could further destroy your companionship.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, or an individual with a Thermos conducting an all-night vigil for suspected infidelity: private investigators provide services including surveillance and employee theft; they trace missing persons; and advise companies on security measures, including de-bugging, and preventing industrial espionage.&#8221; &#8211; From The Times, 2005.</p>
<p>What is it exactly that makes a person a good private detective? It is not the academic qualification, nor is it the length of experience in a certain job. What actually makes a good private detective is if a person has a huge degree of patience, common sense and tenacity. These are the most important qualities. A private detective must be thorough. Most of the successful private detectives were former police offers and others used to work for law firms or in administrative support in detective agencies.</p>
<p>Of course, before they become private detectives they will be provided with short training courses to hone their skills as detectives. Tony Imossi now heads London-based Solicitors&#8217; Law Services, but has been a private investigator. &#8220;In my first job I routinely met private investigators, decided that I could do better and set up on my own. I now advise on protection against fraud and money laundering. I do this by assessing clients&#8217; degree of protection and investigating the people that they propose to do business with.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tony Imossi has worked in advanced fee fraud, undercover operations and fit-to-sue work. He has done so by checking public sources of information that you can see whether money to pay the debt is available. There was even a case when he got really close to a guy who was defrauding a bank. He posed as an arms dealer, and the fraud fell for it.</p>
<p>Anyone can call themselves a private detective, but not everyone can prove themselves to be real private detectives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ntellectual midgets and Pee Wee Herman The Congressman; Hell will freeze over before politicians can fix this economy.</p>
<p>The economy is in shambles. Unemployment is at an all-time high. Foreclosure has become an epidemic and we are looking to the same screw-up&#8217;s who put us in this mess to get us out.</p>
<p>Seriously, and I say this with all due respect the handicapped and economically disadvantaged, we would have a better chance of grabbing a random homeless, blind, deaf, mute, quadriplegic out of a refrigerator box shanty in a west Philly alleyway and betting one million dollars that we could train him to win the Ironman in a week, than we ever will depending on succubus congressmen and senators to get us out of this mess of which they are responsible.</p>
<p>Congress will blame this meltdown on aliens and the chupacabra before they admit any wrong doing.</p>
<p>Turn on the news and you&#8217;ll see an orgy of sweaty brow, finger-wagging and jaw-flapping politicians blaming a straw man CEO of an investment banking firm for ten years of his firm&#8217;s economic gluttony and purging (though he&#8217;s only been in this executive position for 90 days). It&#8217;s a set up. Wake up. It&#8217;s all just a distraction.</p>
<p>Bring in a clean cut yet power hungry executive, put him through rapid promotion from VP to CEO, tell him he&#8217;s going to a press conference then blindfold him, lead him to a 3&#215;3 ft closet, toss in a dozen stink bombs, 10 day old soiled adult diapers, bottle rockets and fire crackers, turn out the lights, take off the blindfold, throw in a rabid squirrel, slam the door shut and 5 days later let him out to and ask him to run the Boston Marathon wearing an eye patch, Speedo and flip-flops while waving pompoms. Let&#8217;s get real. We need solutions, not a congressional Kid n&#8217; Play dance competition. It&#8217;s a joke and we are the ones being laughed at; you, me and our children.</p>
<p>I have an idea! For the next presidential election we can have Pee Wee Herman run under the democratic ticket, the hunchback of notre dame can run under the republican ticket and we can have Chubaka run the CNN televised debate and we can have the post debate commentaries by Lady Gaga and the Teletubbies and why not? Americans would complain for 2 days and then buy the latest Asterix Comic for voting advice on the next election.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you were to ask someone ten or twenty years ago what they thought about bankruptcies, they would have probably snarled at you and reported that filing a bankruptcy was the worst thing that an individual could do. However, with the economic recession in full swing and millions of people still out of work, bankruptcies have lost their horrid glares and are actually being seen as highly attractive. A chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney can assist you with the process of filing this particular type of bankruptcy and explain the pros and the cons of this plan.</p>
<p>When it comes to an individual deciding upon filing a bankruptcy there are several different routes that an individual can opt to take. Normally there are only two types of bankruptcies that are available to the public. The first type is a chapter 7 and the other type is a chapter 13. Both of these bankruptcies have their good and bad points, however were going to look a little bit further into the chapter 13 bankruptcy process.</p>
<p>Your debt will not be eliminated until you, your attorney and your creditors have decided upon a payment plan that suits all parties. The plan will normally last for three to five years and after the amount of funds agreed upon has been paid back in full, only then will you be able to consider yourself a debt free individual.</p>
<p>An chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney can help make the task of filing for this particular type of plan a lot less strenuous on you. However, bear in mind that even though you may be approved for this course of action with haste, you will be required to follow all of your attorneys instructions in order to eliminate all of your excess debts that you presently have.</p>
<p>One of the main reasons why so many people are anxious to file this particular type of bankruptcy is because with doing so they are able to cease any foreclosures from taking place on their property. This means that the debtor will not have to worry about their homes being taken from underneath them, because they are making the right steps to get their debts rectified with haste.</p>
<p>There are certain stipulations that an individual must meet in order to be able to qualify for a chapter 13 bankruptcy. One of the provisions of this particular type of bankruptcy states that the debtor must have debts that are less than $336,900 in unsecured debts their secured debts must be less than $1,010,650 in order to qualify for this plan.</p>
<p>If a debtors bankruptcy case was dismissed 180 days or less prior to an individual filing for another bankruptcy, they will not be able to file for a chapter 13 bankruptcy. Individuals must understand that during the course of this bankruptcy they are required to make payments to the creditors that they owe.</p>
<p>Even though the amount of money that the individual will have to pay to their creditors is a lot less, there is still a reasonable amount of money that still needs to be paid in accordance to this plan. A chapter 13 bankruptcy is a great way to pay back the debts that you have open and be able to regain your financial independence.</p>
<p>Hiring a lawyer to assist you with the filing process and the negotiation process will help you get a lower repayment amount that you will be required to render to your creditors. However, it is still your responsibility to ensure that your creditors receive the amount that you agree upon within a reasonable time frame.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People with high intellectuality and handsomeness have the power of attracting and dominating others by those virtues and this is one of the most common thing happening in the world of feelings. Similarly, complex life styles will be so hectic that instances of simple living will immediately reach them and impress those who lead such complex lives. This has been agreed as the inevitable truth and with no exceptions possible, the same was found to be true in the case of Irish and British lives.</p>
<p>The Irish were very simple in their living and this brought envy from the people of Britain as they thought of dominating the place and to use it resources for their advantages. The Irish were too trusting and they fell for the plans of the traders, thinking that they truly are willing to help in improving the Irish status. But ill &#8211; treatment and suppression were the price they paid for those goods Then the Irish could no longer stand the brutality in the British dominance and they challenged their suppressors in small groups which were immediately crushed.</p>
<p>Fifteenth century saw the conflicts between the British and Irish strengthen beyond limits, when Henry the eighth planned to bring Ireland under the leadership of the English government. He had initiated this idea just because the Irish opposed the English rules and dictatorship and to prevent the Island from becoming a base for future rebellions or foreign invasions of England. After conquering the entire stretch of land in 1541, Henry declared it as a full Kingdom and proclaimed himself as King of Ireland.</p>
<p>Many Irish men rose against this in small groups again but as they were not organized properly, they were quelled as easily as a bonfire when water is poured on it. Many Englishmen came to Ireland and settled in the most rich land stretches of the country and profited immensely by plundering everything in them. The English was so cruel that even the pubs in England and the ones they had set up in Ireland was ordered to have plaques outside which read, &#8220;No Dogs, No Irish&#8221;. They had the nerve of copying and plundering the valuable resources from Ireland during their period of reign there.</p>
<p>In the mid sixteenth and the early part of the seventeenth century, England&#8217;s crown governments made it possible of the people of England to migrate to Ireland and take care of the plantations there. But in 1791, there came a new era for the people of Ireland which was the introduction of the society of the united Irishmen and in 1800, they were brought under the Act of Union with the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>The English were responsible for having made several finest English architectural examples across the Irish lands, admirable by even the Irish in spite of their hatred for Englishmen. By the introduction of the Act of Union, the Irish and the Englishmen have been able to share their knowledge and live peacefully. The English are now sharing with the Irish, their own privileges in England and thereby influence the Irish even to this very day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the 10th and 11th centuries Scots Gaelic was at its most popular as a language where most people who lived in Scotland spoke the language. Today there is only around 1.6% who can speak Gaelic. Most pro- Gaelic speakers would say that this was the plan of the English &#8211; to rid the British Isles of its Gaelic language and replace it by the English language. But there are a number of reasons for the decline of Gaelic as a language.</p>
<p>Firstly, by about 1400 the actual variation between the Highlands and the Lowlands had been solidly recognized. A scholarly man known as John of Fordun had this to point out concerning the differences between the highlanders and the lowlanders in 1380:</p>
<p>&#8220;The people from the coast tend to be of domestic and civilised behavior, trusty, patient, as well as urbane, respectable in their attire, affable, and tranquil, devout in Divine worship, but constantly willing to reject a wrong at the hands of their opponents. The highlanders and also individuals from the islands, in contrast, are a savage and untamed nation, rude or obnoxious and self-sufficient, given to rapine, ease-loving, smart and also speedy to master, comely in person, yet unattractive in dress, inhospitable towards the English people as well as language, and, due to the variety of dialog, also to their own nation, and very vicious. These people are nevertheless faithful and obedient to their own king and nation, and easily made to submit to regulation, if appropriately ruled.&#8221;</p>
<p>So it could be argued that the main reason for the decline in the Gaelic language was due to the great divide between the differing parts of Scotland. And by the sixteenth century the divergence between the two was at an all time high due to in the main, historic reasons and a different language being spoken. James VI had two main principles for his Highland policy &#8211; one being a way to make an income and the other was for it to be used for plantation. He considered that the highlanders and particularly the islanders were not paying their fair taxation and he wanted to change this.</p>
<p>In 1597 he set up three burghs within the Highlands with the intention of permitting a number of the lowlanders to rule. With the strengthening Campbell clan as well as the detest for the lowlanders of the Highlanders and the Islanders, a lot more disruption was to follow. It was costing the King greater expense than he cared to pay.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever a person or group of people try to live their lives free, those who are stuck in unhappy lives will be jealous. Some people have a hard time letting go, freeing themselves from the day to day trials and tribulations of everyday life even for a little while. Others seek an escape from the stress and anxiety often associated with modern day life.</p>
<p>I guess for me, that&#8217;s part of why I am a Biker. There is something about riding a bike that inspires a sense of freedom in me. The open road, the wind in my face, the smells, getting back to nature, the power of my bike. It&#8217;s all these things and more that make me feel free. It&#8217;s unfortunate that there are some people who, for whatever reason, can&#8217;t find something or someway to let go and experience the sense of freedom that we do. These people, for whatever reason, are the ones who point to us and call us rogues or rebels. They say that what we are doing is wrong and that our culture is a &#8220;disruptive influence.&#8221;</p>
<p>As Bikers, we live our lives a little differently. We work and have responsibilities, but we still know the feeling of freedom. Maybe its because we smile just a bit more and are a bit more relaxed that turns these people green with envy?</p>
<p>A person who works hard and has no free time sees a person on the road riding his or her motorcycle and thinks &#8220;I wish that was me!&#8221; The thought of being free doesn&#8217;t leave their mind. They long for it. They crave it badly! How many of you out their have had a friend tell you how they have always wanted to buy a Motorcycle and just go out riding? How many of them ever actually do?</p>
<p>Here is a typical story : A man is driving home from work when he see&#8217;s a group of motorcycle riders pull up next to him. He looks at this group of people riding together having a great time, He starts to think, &#8220;I wish that was me&#8221;. He then decides, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to buy a Motorcycle!&#8221; He starts thinking about riding. How great it will be to have his wife on the back of his bike and the wind in his face. We could ride up to the lake or maybe that little motel way up in the Mountains. Thinking of the great times he will have he starts to feel that small sense of freedom. He thinks &#8220;This must be what those Biker get to feel, Wow!&#8221;</p>
<p>He turns into the driveway, parks his truck and rushes into the house to tell his wife about his fantastic idea. &#8220;Hi honey, I&#8217;m going to buy a Motorcycle.&#8221; His wife looks at him and says &#8220;What? Did you get overwhelmed by the fumes at work again?&#8221; &#8220;You can&#8217;t ride a Motorcycle. The man answers back, &#8220;I&#8217;ll learn!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You must be crazy&#8221;, she says. &#8220;Those things are death traps! You will kill yourself and we can&#8217;t afford it!&#8221; &#8220;Honey this is something I really want&#8221; replies the man. &#8220;NO NO NO!!! I won&#8217;t have one of those things in my house! What kind of message would it send to the kids, our neighbors?&#8221;</p>
<p>They argue about it, but it the end, the man never gets his motorcycle. He never goes to the lake with his wife or takes that trip up to the little motel in the mountains. He never feels the real sense of freedom one can only get when taking a long trip on a motorcycle. He spends the rest of his life wishing he had never seen that group of Motorcycles. He is angry and bitter.</p>
<p>Now when he see&#8217;s Bikers he puts them down. He hates Bikers, not because of who or what they are, but because of what he can never be. He hates them because of what they represent. They represent a kind of freedom, sense of belonging, a oneness with nature and the world that he longs for, he craves, but can never have.</p>
<p>We live here in America, the home of the free, but many are not free. They have never experienced the sense of freedom that can only be experienced on two wheels and, for whatever reason, never will. They live boring, uneventful. &#8220;safe&#8221; lives and complain about those who don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t hate these envious people, pity them for they will never know the sense of freedom and brotherhood we get from riding with a group of our Bro&#8217;s. They&#8217;ll never know the wind in their face, the feeling of peace and oneness with nature we feel as we ride threw the country side or down a long lonely highway. They&#8217;ll never know the clarity of mind that comes from a long ride alone or the closeness and bond of a long ride or weekend away with someone special. Just thank your higher power that you&#8217;ve found a way to escape, a way to be free, even if for some it&#8217;s just on the weekends.</p>
<p>Ride Safe and Ride Free because when it all come down to it, this is all about the Ride!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a crazy world we live in today. It&#8217;s come to a point where you just don&#8217;t know what to believe any more. The &#8220;news&#8221; media has gone from investigative reporting to regurgitating Government and Corporate &#8220;News Releases&#8221; as actual news.</p>
<p>The thing that I don&#8217;t understand is, some people actually believe everything they see on TV or read in the paper or on the Internet. You can tell people the Sky is falling but if it wasn&#8217;t reported on CNN, People will just think your some kind of crazy Chicken Little. Chunks of the sky could be hitting them in the head and they still wouldn&#8217;t believe it. If CNN reports that the Sky is Falling and states the reason as &#8220;human over consumption of oxygen&#8221;, people start trying to figure out how to stop breathing so they can stop the Sky from falling. It doesn&#8217;t matter if the real reason is some new Military Toxin.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say there is some national disaster and you say something different from the official Government release on why and how it happened. Now you&#8217;re some kind of crazy Conspiracy Nut. Again It doesn&#8217;t matter what kind of proof you have, what kind of scientific evidence you try and present, you&#8217;re just a nut and no one wants to listen to you. Because We all know the United States Government would never lie to us. They&#8217;d never conspire against the people of this country. Anyone remember The &#8220;Gulf of Tonkin&#8221; incident? Iran/Contra? Weapons of Mass Destruction?</p>
<p>We&#8217;re used to hearing about the Government Controlled Media in places like China and Russia, but what of the &#8220;News&#8221; media in the United States? Just a few months ago our Government was besieged with letters, email, and phone calls by people who were vehemently against the so-called Wall Street Bail-Out. At first the measure failed. CNN broadcast a week of programming designed to &#8220;educate&#8221; us stupid Americans on the reasons why we needed to pay for this bail-out. The next week it passed.</p>
<p>This is not the &#8220;Free Press&#8221; our founding fathers envisioned. Our founding fathers envisioned a &#8220;Free Press&#8221; that would help to keep our Politicians and our Government honest, as a way to speak out against injustices, not an &#8220;education&#8221; tool.</p>
<p>What has happen to the Spirit of the American people? When did we stop demanding to know the truth about what is going on? When did the Truth get too hard for us to handle? Is it fear? It seems every time someone uses the phrase &#8220;National Security&#8221;, that somehow, we understand that&#8217;s all we need to know. Is it apathy? What happened to the days of protest, the intolerance of greed and corruption? Throughout History there are examples of great Societies that have fallen, not from outside forces, but from corruption within.</p>
<p>We live in a world of the Future where things that seemed impossible yesterday are common place by tomorrow. For some of us, we&#8217;re too busy trying to make it to tomorrow to worry about what is happening politically in the World. We&#8217;re too busy working and taking care of our families to seek the truth or get involved with some kind of cause. Many still believe that eventually the Government will take care of us, that despite the loss of our industry, the loss of our jobs, the loss of our freedoms, and the lowering of our standard of living, the Governments still have our best interests at heart.</p>
<p>When we see Governments around the World curtailing our right of assembly, our freedom of speech, do we stand up or do we accept it? Lately, it seems that these political entities have been giving those of us in Motorcycle Clubs a little extra attention. Why is that? Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of principled, patriotic men who value family, brotherhood and their communities above all else. Many are Veterans of Wars past and present. Why are we viewed as Radicals &amp; Extremists? The Governments of the world have begun pushing hard to break us up, shut us down. As a Biker and a Member of a Motorcycle Club I see many injustices taking place all over the world.</p>
<p>I have seen Motorcycle Clubs names and logos seized in dirty under handed methods. Large Clubs charged with Crimes and their members locked away. Government Agents inserted into clubs for years so that they can introduce drugs and violence into the clubs in an effort to bring them down. Ex Members and &#8220;friends&#8221; of Motorcycle Clubs offered Millions of Dollars if they can come up with charges against these Motorcycle Clubs!</p>
<p>Just as in any culture or society, there are going to be a few bad apples. The problem is, the Government and the Media have conspired to paint everyone in the Biker World with the same brush. I&#8217;ll bet it takes you 5 seconds to think of a News Story, Movie, or Documentary that you&#8217;ve seen portraying Bikers negatively, but I bet you can&#8217;t think of one that shows us feeding the poor, protecting the children, or raising money for every disease known to man.</p>
<p>Watching Motorcycle Clubs slowly being taken down in such blatantly unjust ways is scaring the hell out of me. What makes me sad is at the same time these wolves are getting through the gate and destroying the MC world, Many Motorcycle Clubs continue to fight against each other! These fights are embellished and sensationalized on TV and in the press. They are then used by the Governments of the world as the fuel they need to continue to shut down all Motorcycle Club&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Motorcycle Clubs, much like the United States of America, were started with incredible Ideals. Both set down on paper what they were about and what they stood for. It is time for both Motorcycle Clubs and Americans to get back to their core beliefs. I believe with all my Heart that true Members of Motorcycle Clubs hold the ideals of Freedom and Brotherhood higher than any other group anywhere.</p>
<p>As I have said many times before I am no Hippie and I do not preach peace or love, I am a true Biker! It is just that I have realized &#8220;Rome is burning&#8221; and only by working together can we hope to be able to stop the fire! Motorcycle Clubs are like people and not everyone will always get along, We are always going to have our differences.</p>
<p>What needs to happen now is for members of every Motorcycle Club in the World to look deep inside and ask themselves, &#8220;What is the most important thing to me?&#8221; If you truly believe in Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, and you have felt true Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, the answer will be simple. We as members of Motorcycle Clubs, need to set aside our differences and unite as one so that we may work together to save the Motorcycle Club world! We must fight against those who would take away everything we are and have us live as slaves.</p>
<p>Next time you hear that a Government or one of its agents has brought down another Brother or a Motorcycle Club you didn&#8217;t like, don&#8217;t celebrate, because the next time it will be you and your club. They won&#8217;t stop until we are all gone.</p>
