HAPPY NEW YEAR & FAREWELL TO CELEBRITIES & NOTABLE PEOPLE 2000-2010
Heading into the 2011th New Year of Anno Domini, we like to reminisce with our audience over the last eleven years (2000-2010). This segment is dedicated to the memories of people who walked this planet. Whether we embraced them or not we believe their names will jar something inside of us. This country and this world has potential beyond recognition if only we would direct our energy and resources toward good and remain constructive and productive, we could be witnesses to even greater accomplishments within ourselves and others.
Let 2011 be a year where…
- we pass a little less judgment
- we open our hearts to those that fall outside our comfort zone
- we search for things we can do for others in service to mankind
- we relinquish a few degrees of self absorption and self focus
- we recognize and celebrate our small victories and count our blessings thanking Something/Someone more intelligent & powerful than us
- we recognize our flaws and mistakes and move forward using them as a learning tool and not an excuse to continue to fall short
- we face every trial and punch in life as an “I dare you” challenge with the fervor of a warrior and the courage of a lion
- we understand deep down that there is a plan that includes you even when the pain is unbearable

VOTE PROJECT SMART VOTE!
AN EASY WAY TO KNOW & RESEARCH ALL POLITICAL CANDIDATES & VOTE IN THE ELECTION OF 11-2-10. We are using Georgia as an example, but you can click on your state of interest at the end of the blog article: NEXT TUESDAY – VOTE
This upcoming election on November 2, 2010 is extremely important for a variety of reasons. We are entering the tail end of October and we remain in the thick of the effects of a recession that started years ago. Is it reasonable to expect this recession to be repaired by now? Is it reasonable to expect some improvement through partial repair by now? Are there repairs that have occurred but that are invisible to us? Could the country have collapsed completely as we know it, but we were spared such a tragedy because of the government’s work we fail or refuse to recognize? We speak to people every day who are unemployed and when its all said and done their unemployment compensation has been exhausted and they no longer care about what is or isn’t fair when evaluating our leaders. The unemployed want and need results. They are desperate and ready to lean on Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party supported candidates, Libertarians, Green Party candidates and Independents. The main focus is gambling on who we THINK might have the solutions and more importantly who has the most EXPEDIENT SOLUTIONS to unemployment, generating new jobs, motivating the cycle of spending through a stronger sense of financial security. How can Americans earn cash and gain wealth? How can businesses increase business and profits? How do we stabilize our economy and crawl out of this recession as quickly as possible? We can start by voting.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR? THANKS TO PROJECT VOTE SMART, WE HAVE A LITTLE HELP IN THIS AREA.
WHAT IS PROJECT VOTE SMART?
http://www.votesmart.org/program_about_pvs.php
On common ground at a unique research center high in the Montana Rockies, a struggling group of Americans, who you are unlikely to know and will probably never meet, have begun a battle. A battle to protect all of us from the selfish interests that strip us of the most crucial component in our struggle to self-govern — access to abundant, accurate, and relevant information. Here at Project Vote Smart, Americans young and old volunteer their time, take no money from special interest groups, and have committed themselves to an extraordinary effort that, if successful, will provide their fellow citizens with the tools for a reemergence of political power not known for half a century. Their idea is one you may have thought of yourself. It is a deceptively simple concept but enormously difficult to achieve and would not be possible without the collaboration of citizens willing to lay their partisan differences aside for this one crucial task.
Picture this: thousands of citizens (conservative and liberal alike) working together, spending endless hours researching the backgrounds and records of thousands of political candidates and elected officials to discover their voting records, campaign contributions, public statements, biographical data (including their work history) and evaluations of them generated by over 100 competing special interest groups. Every election these volunteers test each candidate’s willingness to provide citizens with their positions on the issues they will most likely face if elected through the Political Courage Test.

911 SOLEMN REMINDERS
The reminder of September 11, 2001 should be easier to handle as time passes. Typically this is how it works in the healing process. One of the largest more recent sores that was beginning to form a scab was ripped off again and salt and bleach were poured directly into the wound that we know all too well as 911. As a result the nation is further polarized and accusations are flying wildly. How do we unify a nation that houses representatives and members from every race, religion, nationality, culture, creed, political affiliation and economic class? We don’t know but we do know that anything short of freedom is not an option. How do we proactively work toward identifying “the enemy” without clumping millions of innocent people into that same category? There are an array of opinions and perspectives. Do we have sufficient skills and resources to identify extremists from non-extremists and everyone in between? It is confusing and this country has been dealing with this age old problem throughout history. WHERE, HOW & WHEN do we draw the lines? The key is to follow the principles & standards this country was based on. This is easier said than done for large numbers of the U.S. population, since this is the same population that can’t agree on the notion that the U.S.A. is founded on Christian principles and standards. Back to square one…
Here are some solemn statistics of 911 in 2001 in the event anyone questions why numerous Americans are having a difficult time moving beyond this attack which resulted in multiple murders, destruction and lives being changed forever. It is the reason we are witnessing protests across the nation.
At least 2,998 people died. this includes the 19 known terrorists. Other statistics say the number is currently 3,497 people.
There were 5 terrorists on three of the four planes (the two planes that crashed into the Twin Towers and the plane that struck the Pentagon). There were 4 terrorists on the plane full of courageous passengers that brought it down in pure sacrifice in Shanksville, PA. 87, 60, 59, & 41 were the number of passengers on each perspective plane. We are not counting the terrorists as passengers. Other statistics may vary slightly.
343 New York Fire Dept. firefighters + paramedics
60 NYPD officers & Port Authority officers
1,402 occupants in Tower One
614 occupants in Tower Two
3,051 children lost one or both parents that day. 327 of the people murdered were from 53 other countries or nations. America lost the most lives obviously. The United Kingdom lost 67, South Korea lost 28, Canada lost 27, Japan lost 26, Columbia lost 17, Jamaica, Mexico & the Philippines lost 16 each, and Australia & Germany lost 11 people.
None of these statistics account for the number of people who lost limbs, eye sight, hearing, massive amounts of skin from severe burns, permanent lung damage… You get the picture. These numbers also don’t address the psychological and emotional damage which fuels the nightmares, anxiety attacks, paralyzing panic and simply renders otherwise productive and active people dysfunctional from day to day. There are the thousands of workers who saw sights we cannot imagine. They did not even find whole bodies, day after day, week after week and month after month. This is just a sliver of the chunk of America’s heart that was left at Ground Zero, Shanksville and the Pentagon.
Don’t forget the World Trade Center was bombed by terrorists on February 26, 1993 when a truck containing explosives drove into the lower level garage of the North Tower. Six people were killed and approximately 300 people were injured. Rick Rescorla, Vice President of Security for Morgan-Stanley/Dean-Witter was aware of the vulnerability of the World Trade Center Towers prior to the 1993 and 2001 terrorist attacks. He was an American hero originally from England and we had the pleasure of benefiting from his skills until his death in the 911 attacks. His preparedness saved hundreds of lives. http://www.rickrescorla.com/
We also want to recognize and thank Betty Ong for going against protocol. It was her actions & ability to remain calm that helped us to identify this as a terrorist act instead of a terrible accident. She was a flight attendant of the first plane. Thank you to all of the heroes.
Two trillion in damages and counting… http://www.iags.org/costof911.html

REGISTER NOW FOR MID-TERM VOTING, UNEMPLOYMENT & THE ECONOMY
V O T E & R E G I S T E R T O V O T E !
BLOGGING BY BEST SERVICES ONLINE, OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL BLOGS, WILL DEDICATE ITS BLOGS TO THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS ON 11-02-10.
As we write blogs about unemployment and jobs, since we are in fact recruiters, we realize that many of our readers, clients and candidates have great interest in the political influence over jobs, unemployment and their bank accounts. Employers and candidates have been hit heavily, which is why we are facing eight million lost jobs. These aren’t just lost for a year. This has been going on since 2007 with no real improvement in sight. This is the third year.
President Bush and/or President Obama may have prevented a sixteen million job loss event. We will never know one way or the other so all we can do is focus on what we do know and that is that the market is moving but for those out of work it is stagnant because is it not moving quickly enough. Every blog and every other source of media is addressing the “changing of the guard” from a democratic rule to a republican rule that will likely take place after the mid-term elections of November 2010. How many of us made it out to the polls over the last several months to cast our primary ballots? We know we walked in and walked out with no lines at prime times for voting as opposed to the massive lines that formed when the presidential race between Senator McCain and Senator Obama was at stake. Everyone had hopes and dreams for something better and something different. We do it at every major election whenever we are facing less than favorable times. We keep hoping that someone, some administration, some magical combination of congressional members and Supreme Court Justices will pleasantly surprise the people of America. When will we learn?
We didn’t get what we wished for and every one and their mother has the perfect response as to why it didn’t happen. So we look onward to these Mid-Term Elections, because without the hope of something more, we are facing the same limited growth we have been facing since President Bush was in office. We’ve said it countless times before. It is unfair and unjust to blame President Bush or any other president because the way the economy operates and feeds off of countless variables, the failure of the economy could have started during any one of the last five administrations. We must simply look for solutions and allow the elected politicians who we like or don’t like to accomplish the tasks at hand. This goes for democrats, republicans and everyone in between. If republicans gain the majority, then lets show our support and stay on them through continual phone calls to your state representatives to make certain they know they are accountable to you and me.
Lets make certain no matter who is in the White House, Senate and House of Representatives that we hold them accountable for working together haromoniously and nothing less is acceptable. WE EXPECT RESULTS. We must remain active at our local, state and federal levels. Regular phone calls have to be made to our representatives or emails and letters need to be sent. Keep it professional and respectful of course, but get your message out there over and over again. Our duties don’t stop at the voting booth, for those of us who take it that far.
Our duties never stop. Every last one of us is on notice that in politics a lot of unfair and unjust things take place. We no longer have the right to pretend we are shocked or surprised. The shock part should be over by now. What will you do to reduce or prevent the lack of productivity, bureaucracy, inner social politics, bad influences, anit-proactive behavior and anti-progressiveness throughout all levels of government? No matter who is elected to office, they all become susceptible to the political traps so we must work on supporting our politicians to rise above and stay above those negative influences. They must be made aware they are accountable to the people. Every media source will continue playing on the vulnerabilities & emotions of America. We fall for it every time. Opinions are fine, but how do you move people from the inside-out to better their circumstances and predicaments? How do we improve our current state now that we have identified our dissatisfaction with the lack of jobs and economic growth?

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND AMERICA
Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don’t ever apologize for anything.
Harry S. Truman
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? JOIN OUR DISCUSSION
Well we are already here. Our first Monday in the month of September. End of summer, start of football season or is it more than that?
WHEN WAS THE FIRST LABOR DAY?
1882 on September 5th in New York City organized by Peter J. McGuire (carpenter) as a march/parade from City Hall to Union Square then on to Reservoir Park for a picnic. The event included 10,000 workers and their families.
WHEN WAS LABOR DAY FORMALLY ESTABLISHED?
1894
WHAT MADE IT OFFICIAL?
Labor Day became official based on the events surrounding the PULLMAN STRIKE of 1894 during Grover Cleveland’s administration (The 22nd and the 24th President of the United States, which makes him the only president to have been elected to office twice but not in back to back presidential terms. He is also noted for being the only Democrat elected to office during the lengthy reign of a Republican majority between 1860 to 1912. Cleveland was a conservative in that he was not an advocate for inflation, subsidies for businesses, farmers or even veterans, pricey tariffs, or imperialism ).
WHAT WAS THE PULLMAN STRIKE?
The Pullman Strike was a political battle between the railroads and the labor unions which started in Pullman Illinois. A company by the name of the Pullman Palace Car Co. suffered a strike of three thousand of its employees because of drastic reductions in wages. You have to understand that rail cars were the most popular mode of travel back then so traffic flow was adversely effected. Anything West of Chicago did not move. Eugene Debs was the head of the American Railway Union that represented approximately 250,000 workers in 27 states. President Cleveland sent federal troops and marshals to shut down striking because of its ill effects on the nation. From a legal standpoint President Cleveland said it was affecting the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to deliver mail. He was thereby justified in sending troops. 13 union workers were killed and fifty seven were injured. Six thousand members of the union were involved and caused about $350,000.00 worth of damage (nearly nine million today).
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LABOR DAY?
When it was first established nationally, a parade was to take place following a festival to honor, encourage and celebrate the American spirit of trade and labor organizations. Some question the political cleansing attempt on the part of President Cleveland given that it was passed six days after the Pullman strike ended and many of his cabinet members did not believe the president had the right to unleash 12,000 army troops and marshals to the scene.
WHAT IS LABOR SUNDAY?
Labor Sunday is the Sunday before Labor Day. It was established in 1909 to highlight the spiritual and educational elements of Labor Day as it relates to the Bible.
WHAT IS THIS OTHER LABOR DAY – MAY 1ST?
This is an international holiday recognized and celebrated by about eighty countries. It is also known as the International Workers’ Day or May Day. It focuses on labor unions specifically. It marks the 1886 Haymarket Massacre of Chicago on May 4th. It started out as a rally for striking workers who were pushing for an eight hour work day. Someone threw a bomb at police while police were trying to break up the rally. Police retaliated with gunfire. Eight officers were killed. The majority were killed by “friendly fire”. To this day it is unknown how many civilians were killed. Eight men were tried. Four were convicted and executed and one man committed suicide in prison. Please take special note that the prosecution was convinced that none of the eight defendants were involved in throwing the bomb.
We so often get caught up in thinking the era we live in is the most volatile, the most corrupt as every generation wishes for the “old days” when matters were simpler, people were kinder, and there was a niceness in the air. Let this be a lesson and a strong reminder to all of us that corruption and suspicion of corruption go back long before any one of us was born. There is much more to many of these stories, but we don’t want to make the blog an entire American history lesson. Illegal searches were conducted and freedom of speech was squashed during this time.
Perhaps we need to look a little more carefully at Labor Day and its true meaning from all perspectives. Some of us recall May Day when we were children, but that is a holiday that has gone by the way side for the most part in this country.
I HEAR GOOD & BAD THINGS ABOUT UNIONS:
Many people believe unions to be useless today. Many people take for granted the working conditions they have today and are unaware that those limited hours, pay, vacation time, sick time, and other benefits were as a result of labor unions fighting and its members dying for improved working conditions. Nothing is a given in this world unless you understand its history and continue to demand that it remain on the “books”. Some form of American unions have been around since the start of this country.
WHATS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT CHILD LABOR LAWS?
Unions were instrumental in establishing child labor laws. Most of us are too young to know of a time when children as young as three years of age were put to work for twelve hour days, no school, and were working in conditions that most adults could not survive in. The Industrial Revolution sparked the need for even more children working in small, tight, dangerous spaces that adults could not reach because of their size. Children worked in mines, around dangerous machinery, chimneys, prostitution and more. Because of the unbearable hours, malnutrition, no health care, children would sometimes fall asleep on the job. Even though they were working side by side with their parents and siblings, it was not unusual for a shop boss or supervisor to beat the child. The parents could not fight back because it would mean the loss of jobs for the entire family. Essentially it was about two steps higher than slavery minus the racism. This was nearly every company across the board. So it wasn’t as if you could argue unfair treatment, quit and get another job with a sanely operated company.
To give you an idea of how barbaric our society was back then, and by we I mean every continent on the planet, it was a big milestone when Britain came through as the first nation to pass a law in favor of children. Its laughable now, but then it was a huge relief to many families and children. It fell under the title of FACTORY ACTS in the early 1900′s. Children under the age of 9 were not allowed to work at all. Chidren between the ages of 10 and 17 were limited to a twelve hour work day, which indicates they were working sixteen or more hours per day prior to the law. We still have sweat shops and worse still today. The poorer the country the fewer child labor restrictions there are.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE U.S.A.?
1.7 million children UNDER THE AGE OF 15 were said to be working in 1900 in the U.S.A. in the fields of industry. By 1910 that number had climbed to 2 million. Labor unions were already up and running, fighting and battling for rights for everyone. The issue was that as with any movement, the extremists are the gutsiest of all, but with that extremists mentality comes a number of harsh negatives. The union leaders in the 1700′s and 1800′s and beyond were known to be violent, unruly, coercive, and intimidating to co-workers and political officials. Many would argue that if they weren’t, nothing would have been accomplished with those in power in America. It was only through fear that politicians were motivated to rein in the questionable employment practices of large company owners and executives. Opposition to unions, even today, allege that unions are socialistic and no longer necessary. In fact many would argue that we have swung too far in over compensating for our history and now we are dealing with ungrateful, selfish, nondedicated workers who have a sense of entitlement and take advantage of the system. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS ISSUE?
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? JOIN OUR DISCUSSION
Always remember humans are charged with keeping one another in check. It doesn’t matter if you are the President of the United States, a CEO of a major corporation, a clerk at a retail store or you are out of work on disability. Honesty and integrity should be at the top of every man and woman’s list because no one is any more important or any less valuable than the other. Every single one of us impacts, shapes and influences our employers, family, friends, children, community, the nation and the world. We are each representatives of this list. We have an obligation to be the best we can be to our employers and to the people who fought and still fight for the luxuries we enjoy today.
HAPPY LABOR DAY!

We celebrate the creation and adoption of our nation’s flag here in the United States of America in 1777 on June 14th.
In 1916 (President Woodrow Wilson) proclaimed it an official day.
PENNSYLVANIA was the first & only state to convert FLAG DAY into a STATE HOLIDAY in 1937 .
Congress formally established Flag Day in 1949.
MASSACHUSETTS & WASHINGTON are credited with hosting the oldest FLAG DAY parades in Quincy Massachusetts & Fairfield, Washington.
DISPLAY YOUR FLAGS PROUDLY AND ENJOY THIS DAY AND ALL THAT THE FLAG REPRESENTS!
BETSY (Elizabeth) ROSS:from Philadelphia, PA is disputably the person noted for making the first American flag. She was able to cut a five pointed star in one clip of the scissors with the appropriate folding of fabric. Pennsylvania State Navy Board paid Betsy to make the “Ship’s colors” in 1777. Her grandfather came from England (Griscom) arrived in the States in 1680.
Betsy married outside the Quaker denomination by uniting with John Ross, an Anglican (1773). She was expelled and reconnected with the FREE QUAKERS also known as the FIGHTING QUAKERS. The married couple started an upholstery business which capitalized on her needlework talents.
John was killed at the start of 1776 from an explosion of gun powder near the Philadelphia, PA waterfront area. Betsy continued the upholstery business and parlayed this business in focusing on producing flags for the state of Pennsylvania.
Betsy would marry twice more having lost her second husband (Joseph Ashburn) and third husband (John Clahypoole) before her demise in 1836. Interesting to note that Ashburn & Claypoole were prisoners (captured & imprisoned by the British) during the same time frame. Claypoole met Betsy when she would come to visit Ashburn.
Some people argue whether or not she was the FIRST flag maker. Nevertheless she has become a legend in the hearts and minds of many Americans and at the very least she represents the power and ability of America and the strides of the American woman. She prevailed during a time when the freedoms and rights of women were non existent (1700′s and 1800′s).

“It is easy enough to vote right and be consistently with the majority . . . but it is more often more important to be ahead of the majority and this means being willing to cut the first furrow in the ground and stand alone for a while if necessary” PATSY TAKEMOTO MINK http://www.betterworldheroes.com/pages-m/mink-quotes.htm
“Title IX Amendment of the Higher Education Act was renamed by President George W. Bush on 29 October 2002 to become the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patsy_Mink
PRIMARIES ARE IMPORTANT:
Vacant House Seats: Iowa, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, Virginia & a vacancy in Georgia because Republican Nathan Deal is running for Governor.
California elections are rather diverse for today. Meg Whitman (billionaire & CEO of EBAY) is running for Governor. She is a Republican. This will have a large effect on the country wide voting board.
Governors seat is open in South Carolina
We believe Nevada is is part of the voting cycle today too.
Arkansas has a run off via Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln who is running against Lt. Governor Bill Halter for Governor. Therefore the Senator’s seat is open.
Whether you are with the Tea, Green, Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, American Independent Party or you are the type of Independent that is “non-partisan” (not belonging to any party), we ask that you get out & vote today-PLEASE.
SOME STATES ARE HOLDING THEIR PRIMARY ELECTIONS 5-18-10 (LEARN WHEN YOUR STATE IS HOLDING THEIRS)
So many individuals say their vote does not “COUNT”. We understand this line of thinking. The fact is your vote DOES COUNT. People think that when they don’t get what they voted for that they have lost in some way & so it no longer matters.
Others see their chosen official make it into office, but then it appears to them that the former promises have fallen by the wayside. Please keep in mind that you are voting for far more than what is right in front of you in the voting booth or on the computer screen. In other words you are re-establishing & maintaining the rights we currently enjoy which so many of us take for granted.
So please remember, if you take nothing else away from this, that your vote SPEAKS VOLUMES on the bigger picture (more than the specific candidate we are clicking or voting for) .
We still have the right to scream, cry, yell, stomp our feet, protest or cheer, applaud, support, and outwardly approve or disapprove of what is occurring.
Read, learn, remain educated about all the things every party has to offer and what your independence has to offer. REMAIN AWARE.
VOTING IS ABOUT MORE THAN THE CANDIDATE/CANDIDATES YOU ARE VOTING IN ANY GIVEN ELECTION.
IMPORTANCE OF VOTING-11 STATES ARE DUE TO VOTE TODAY FOR PRIMARIES
DON’T MISS OUT IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT-CITIZEN OF ONE OF THOSE U.S. STATES. JOBS, CAREERS, SMALL BUSINESS, MID-SIZED BUSINESS, LARGE CORPORATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, COMPANIES, EMPLOYMENT, UNEMPLOYMENT, OIL SPILL, ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, FREEDOM, LAND, OWNERSHIP, FORECLOSURES, DEBT, CREDIT CARDS, INSURANCE, FAMILY, FAMILY VALUES, FREEDOM OF RELIGION, FREEDOM OF RELIGION INCLUDES FREEDOM TO PRACTICE RELIGION INCLUDING CHRISTIANITY, PEACE, SAFETY, CRIME, HEALTH CARE, WAR, MILITARY, HEALTH CARE REFORM, ECONOMY, RECESSION, RIGHTS, CHURCHES, ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, SOCIAL SECURITY, SENIORS, ELDER CARE, EDUCATION, FAMILY VALUES, FUTURE, UNITED STATES, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FOREGIN POLICY AND MORE ARE ALL EFFECTED BY VOTING.
IT IS PROJECTED THAT 195,000 JOBS MAY BE LOST IN FLORIDA ALONE BECAUSE OF THE OIL SPILLS. COSTS TO FLORIDA MAY BE IN THE RANGE OF $11 BILLION DOLLARS.

NEWS HEADLINES . . .
How do we remain hopeful, grounded, focused, positive & proactive with all that we are facing nationally & worldwide?
We have all heard the news stories and read the news headlines about the following and so much more:
The local oil spill worsening & possibly moving east http://www.enewspf.com/index.php/latest-news/latest-national/16144-deepwater-horizon-oil-spill-update-may-1-2010

The demise of so many celebrities via their behavior, judgment & the overt pressures of fame www.yourcelebritystuff.com/sandra-bullock/sandra-bullock-spotted-without-wedding-ring
The unspeakable ongoing tragedies in Darfur which have only recently been brought to many of our attention as a nation. This has been taking place since early 2003. We can’t even agree as to whether or not they want to label these events as Genocide. http://www.amnestyusa.org/darfur/darfur-history/page.do?id=1351103
We can’t begin to list all that has happened and all that deserves mention. Best Services Online does not render an opinion, endorse nor discredit any of the information contained in the various links nor does it render an opinion about any of the headlines, stories, results or actions therein.
IN ORDER TO COMBAT THE OVERWHELMING SADNESS & HOPELESSNESS THAT EXISTS IN THESE HEADLINES WE MUST BE CERTAIN TO TELL THE UNHEARD POSITIVE STORIES. IT CAN BE DOWN RIGHT DEPRESSING IF YOU FOCUS ON IT FOR TOO LONG (Imagine those who are living these stories).
We are not proponents of turning a blind eye or a deaf ear from the horrific news headlines. We must remain aware and educated in these areas. However, we strongly recommend that for every negative printed piece, be certain to seek out a positive story which serves to offset all of this negativity. The wonderful stories are there, but unfortunately for society and for the news correspondents and providers, these stories seldom compete with their tragic driven counterparts in terms of sales and profits. By nature we are drawn to EMERGENCIES, TRAGEDY, NEGATIVITY, ETC.
If one was to begin to absorb all these headlines day in and day out, it is understandable how someone could begin to lose hope, focus, and a sense of promise in human nature. As stated previously there is a whole lot of ‘good’ out here too.
For every celebrity who seems to disappoint or remind us of their human flaws, there is a celebrity who is active in battling some of these issues.
EXAMPLE: http://notonourwatchproject.org/ FOUNDERS: Don Cheadle – George Clooney -Matt Damon – Brad Pitt – David Pressman – Jerry Weintraub
For every natural disaster that occurs there are thousands of people who place their lives on hold to rush to the aid of those in need. We are speaking of everyday people like you and me who may or may not have the time, resources or means to do this comfortably. It is every bit of a sacrifice for people who fit into this category.
There are groups of people who force accountability in politicians, religious leaders, and other influential figures.
The remainder of people have a duty to keep our family, friends, town, state, this country and the entire world alive and breathing by:
living each day to the fullest;
exercising random acts of kindness;
taking the moral high ground when we are being pulled in the “other” direction;
working intensely in our jobs or looking intensely for a job (www.BestServicesOnline.com);
seeking and being part of the solution for your business, employer, employees, family, friends, fellowship, co-workers & so on;
navigating beyond the naysayers and complainers by our attitude, action & speech; (This is easier said than done);
whether there is a news team on the scene or not, help create the “good stories & headlines”. Commit to it & be a part of the uplifting stories which may or may not be told.

IS IT A SCAM? (Too Good To Be True Offers)
Hurry and Schedule Your Free Consultation Today info@bestservicesonline.com Receive A Free Quote info@bestservicesonline.com WE COVER THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES
There are thousands of Internet scams which are successful in gaining people’s trust while gaining access to their wallets and bank accounts. It is nothing short of appalling and frustrating. Most of us would like to think we would never “fall for” a scam. When it happens, most people never discuss it because of their embarrassment. You should never feel embarrassed.
“Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.”
C. S. Lewis
*We invite you to list the name of the company, the month and year of your encounter (approximately), and the website and/or URL of the company in question.
Since the obvious struggles with the economy, people are more vulnerable than ever before. Scammers know this too and will prey on your weaknesses, your desperate circumstances, even your hopes & dreams and certainly your finances. Consider the following before sharing your personal information, sending money (in any form), or signing any type of a contract.
*Secure the name of the company, the website address or URL, email address, name of the founder/owner, a telephone number and a mailing address.
Many scammers refrain from giving a company name much less any of the additional information we have listed. Beware!
*Keep a log of your findings below the title or name of the opportunity you are researching.
This allows you to keep track of which opportunities you have already researched so if you receive an email a year or two from now, this can serve as a valuable resource to saving your time & energy. It will also help if someone asks you advice about the same company or offer.
*Ask a friend or family member for their advice. This person should be fairly savvy in the business world. Share the link of the site with them or opportunity with them before taking any action.
*Read the fine print.
*Insert the company name into the Better Business Bureau’s site http://www.bbb.org/. Typical selection is the USA site then click on CHECK OUT A BUSINESS OR CHARITY.
Not all legitimate businesses are members of the BBB. If a business is not a member of the BBB, the BBB still records and addresses complaints with the business in question. Many reputable businesses are not BBB members. You can benefit from researching and reviewing even those businesses which are accredited with the BBB. It is your responsibility to check, recheck, triple check & so on.
*Keep your eyes open for businesses that have multiple locations, offices or are franchised. Some locations may be accredited and others may not be. Different locations of the same company can vary drastically in their business practices. Make certain you have researched the specific location you intend on contacting.
If a business has a complaint filed against it, you must consider the nature of the complaint (customer service versus refund/contractual complaints), the size of the company, the number of complaints, whether or not the complaints have been resolved and more. View the RATING of the company as well. Complaints are not a sole determining factor, but it is one of many components you should consider when making a decision to conduct business with someone or a company.
*The BBB is also a great source for investigating subsidiaries, sister-companies, DBA’s (Doing Business As), former names or aliases of reputable & questionable companies. Be mindful of possible scam companies which are resourceful enough to change their name every couple of months or every year in order to mislead the consumer. This makes it more difficult for the consumer to follow a trail of complaints with the company. Look for the date of establishment.
*Any claim over the Internet that offers you a job and has the audacity to request that you invest money to get the job or information about the job, etc. should serve as a red flag to the viewer. BE CAUTIOUS!
*If the job description or cash earning opportunity is inundated with a series of “testimonials” (more than a handful), then this should serve as a RED FLAG. The goal is to shift the consumer’s focus toward the multiple testimonials, which feeds to consumers’ dreams, hopes & desires. Now you are no longer focused on identifying the company name, address, owner’s name etc. DON’T LOSE FOCUS!
*If the opportunity boasts earnings of $500.00-$2500.00 or more in a day or week just by sitting at your computer for 1 to 4 hours a day or a week, then you should question its feasibility.
Real example of a similar claim: Auction Processor Position – Easy Work – Great Pay
If there was truly an opportunity on the Internet for 80% or more consumers to earn $500.00-$2500.00 in a day or a week by working a few hours per day, most people would quit their jobs, put in 20-40 hours a week and bring home $5k-$25k a week. DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY EASY WORK FOR LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY .
*If you can’t email the company, you try but your email receives no reply or you receive a failure notice then this is a RED FLAG. Typically they will do all they can to avoid answering inquiries, because the goal is to simply coerce you to pay for their “opportunity”. You should ALWAYS be able to ask questions before purchasing or investing.
At the very least a company should have an email address and most should have their own websites, especially when they claim you can earn large amounts of money for just a few hours of work. One must calculate that their management team (if there is one) should be earning at least 2 to 3 times or more the amount they claim you can earn. Why wouldn’t you have a legitimate web site, office management team, etc? Use your brain. Use common sense. Ask yourself how you would present a business proposition like this if it was legitimate.
*An unprofessional appearance within the written content of the offer is a sign that it may be a scam.
*Be mindful of photographs of upscale homes, high priced automobiles, & alleged vacation spots assoicated with the claims of the “testimonials”.
*SCAMMING CAN LEAD TO IDENTITY THEFT which is far more harmful than a one time “dip” into your bank account.
If you really had a way for others to earn money, would this even be necessary? Wouldn’t it make sense to simply charge people AFTER they have earned their money (the provider takes a cut or portion of what you have earned and controls the intake of cash)? This way your only risk would be that you have given one to four hours of your time. You either get paid or you don’t work again. If you can earn $500.00 a day, allow the person to earn the $500.00 and take the fee out of what they have earned. This proposal would not work for actual products.
Below are some helpful sites which provide detailed information about scams.
