Amazon has the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + BD Live for $19.99. Use coupon code SNOWHITE (note there is only one W) to save $10, then send in the $5 rebate from Hefty (which does require you to purchase one package of Hefty cups, plates or baggies) and you’ve got a classic movie on Blu-ray and DVD for under $5.

Not really a big fan of Snow White myself, but $4.99 for a Blu-ray DVD combo is a pretty good deal. If you know of any other deals like this let us know about them at coupongnome@lockergnome.com

How to Avoid Small Business Finances Nightmare
By Martha Merten

What you are about to read will shock you-your small business may be hemorrhaging money.

It’s true. Many small business owners simply do not keep track of their profit and loss on a regular basis. When was the last time you checked the numbers with your accountant? Last month? Last year? Do you have an accountant?

The two biggest and most serious mistakes that small business owners make are as follows:

• Losing track of income and expenses

• Not having a knowledgeable accountant

Keeping track of your profit and loss is absolutely necessary to maintaining the financial health of your business. Simply put, without reviewing your books every so often, you have no real way to tell if you’re even turning a profit, let alone if you’re in the red. In fact, a whopping 63% of small businesses don’t survive even six years due to financial neglect and limited financial training-and most work-at-home people fail before six months time!

Further attributing to these small business casualties is the reality that many of them do not have an accountant that understands online business expenses. All accountants are not created equal. While some might specialize in tax representation, others are well versed in the insurance industry. Think about it though, would these types of accountants know what an affiliate payment is, or how much of your bandwidth fees you can reasonably write off?

This aspect of running a business can be intimidating, but don’t be discouraged! This article will illustrate four very effective ways to help prevent losing your business to these common oversights. Please keep in mind that I am not a certified accountant, and that these are only my suggestions to help you maintain the financial aspect of your business.

Find an Accountant That You Can Work With

As mentioned previously, not every accountant is going to be a good match for your business. If you hire an accountant who has years of experience with brick-and-mortar businesses, they may not understand the costs of running an online business.

You could, in turn, pay more taxes at the end of the year because your accountant did not recognize the potential tax write-offs that an online small business could benefit from. Did you know that your home office tools just might qualify as a tax write-off? Your computer, your business telephone line, even the entire room could possibly be written off at the end of the year.

So how would you go about finding the best accountant for the job? Request some referrals from people that you trust, and set up a couple of interviews. One size does not fit all in this case, however. You’ll want to know a few things about your prospective accountant:

• Experience – How long have they been working with online small businesses, and to what extent? Do they understand the difference between affiliate commissions and payroll?

• Hypothetical situations – Write an in-depth list of palpable risks and possible hurdles that you expect your business to be subject to in the long run. Ask the accountant how they can prevent or even benefit from these scenarios. Let them demonstrate why you should hire them.

• Expertise – This accountant is great at crunching the numbers, but can they help you plan your business? Provide helpful and readily applicable advice? A good accountant can accomplish all this and more.

Pay special attention to how the accountants present themselves, and especially how they address your questions and concerns. If the accountant is not receptive to your business concepts, they do not have a place on your financial team.

Ask Your Accountant to Help Advise Your Small Business, Sole Proprietor, or LLC

Additionally, your accountant is a valuable advisor to have when considering important business options. Not only can they set up your business records and books, but they can be indispensable when it comes to deciding whether or not to expand, whether or not to hire new employees, and providing you with a complete financial forecast.

Because your accountant maintains your business finances, they will be able to counsel you about the risks and benefits of forming an LLC, or remaining the sole proprietor. This is a big step for any small business, and your accountant would be best suited to aid you in making this decision.

Meet With Your Accountant Regularly

Your accountant is a great asset to your company, but you cannot maximize your financial potential if you do not meet with them regularly. I cannot stress enough the importance of this-schedule quarterly, if not monthly meetings with your accountant.

Your finances are of the utmost importance, therefore careful monitoring should not be put off until tax season. This is a common folly that could ultimately cost you your business! Your accountant may find ways to save you money on a frequent basis, not just around tax season.

Meeting with your accountant consistently can help you ensure that your accountant is handling your financial needs in an acceptable manner, and keep you abreast of every single detail on your financial horizon.

Incorporate Accounting Software Into Your Business

Accounting software can be a tremendous help, especially if you are doing your own bookkeeping in addition to keeping an accountant. Accounting software can simplify budget management, and generally makes keeping track of expenses and revenue easier.

My preferred software is Avanquest’s Bookkeeper 2009. It is extremely efficient, inexpensive, and takes only minutes to learn. You can purchase Bookkeeper 2009 on Avanquest’s website here:

www.avanquest.com/USA/software/bookkeeper-2009-112676

Your Business Finances Don’t Have To Be a Nightmare

By following the steps recommended above, you will be able to avoid the two most critical mistakes that small business owners make. Your business will benefit from constant financial monitoring, and having a knowledgeable professional to guide you along the way is certainly an advantage as well!

Soft Contact Lens Wearing Tips
By Morten Hansen

New wearers and even some experience wearers have questions about their soft contact lenses so here are some soft contact lens wearing tips.

One of the most common question by new wearers is ‘How will I know if my soft contact lens is inside out?” The difference is subtle but before putting the soft contact lens in your eye make sure it looks like a half ball not like a soup bowl or a u with flared out edges. You can do this by holding the lens up directly in front of your eye and then looking down on it. If it forms a half a ball or a proper U it’s the right way.

If your soft contact lens is tinted with the lens on your fingertip look down. You should see the color tint along the edge. Other lenses have a laser marking with the company name. If you can read it properly the lens is in the correct position.

Before you apply your contacts you need to wash your hands but don’t use scented or oily soap that can cling to your lens and cause eye irritation. To avoid mixing up which lens goes in which eye it helps to always put the same eye in first.

Before removing your soft contact lens from the case shake gently to loosen the lens in case it is stuck. Then slide the lens out of the case into your palm. Rinse thoroughly with the appropriate contact lens solution. Place the lens on the tip of your index finger. With the fingers and thumb on your hand pull up on your eyelid and down on your lower eyelid, then place the lens on the white of your eye. Roll your eye then blink.

When it is time to remove your contacts look upwards and sideway and pull on the lower eyelid. Use your finger to gently maneuver the lens on the white of your eye. Then gently pinch the lens together and lift f off your eye. Don’t worry it can take some time to master this technique. It’s a good idea to have your nails really short so you can’t damage your eye. Of course you should wash your hands before you begin the removal process.

Exposure to excess UV light can cause photokeratitis. Some lenses incorporate UV protection in their soft contact lens. The packaging should tell you whether your lenses have this protection.

UV blocking is not to replace your UV protection sunglasses. The two protections compliment each other nicely.

If you wear makeup you know eye makeup in the eye can burn and is very annoying. It’s even worse when you have your soft contact lens in. You will need to immediately flush the area. Put your lens in before you apply your makeup and always wash your hands so you don’t transfer contaminants.

Inserting your soft contact lens and removing them are the difficult part. Once you master that you’ll be set.

The Medifast Plan – Does Medifast Work?
By Jenni Kerala

If you’ve been thinking about using Medifast for your diet, you probably have one very important question: Does Medifast work?

I can tell you that it does work, but since I’m pretty sure you want to hear more than that, let’s take a look at the Medifast diet plan and hopefully I can answer not only the question, “Does Medifast work?” but also, “why” it works.

What is the Medifast Plan?

Medifast is essentially a very low calorie meal replacement program. The Medifast foods come in the form of shakes, bars, soups and other items and they are the mainstay of the program. The meal replacement items are designed to meet all of your nutritional requirements.

In addition to the packaged foods, you’ll also eat one lean & green meal that you prepare for yourself each day, made up for protein and vegetables; for example, roast chicken and big salad.

Why does Medifast work?

I think one of the big reasons that Medifast works is that in addition to the program being quite low calorie (around 1000 calories a day), it also tends to be low carb as well. By eliminating many of the carbs we usually eat, Medifast helps reduce the constant cravings for more food. Most Medifast dieters find that after the first 3-4 days, they no longer feel hungry all the time so the temptation to cheat isn’t always getting in the way.

The other reason that I think the program works is that it eliminates a lot of the mealtime planning. In all likelihood, you could probably loose a similar amount of weight following a plan like Atkins or the South Beach diet, but both of those diet plans will involve a lot more time dedicated to planning your meals, and thus, thinking about food constantly. But with Medifast, you only really have to think about one meal per day.

Eventually you’ll have to start thinking about food again someday — when you’ve lost your weight and need to plan how you’re going to keep that weight gone. But I think there’s a lot to be said for not having to worry so much about every meal while you are actively dieting. It can help break that cycle, particularly if you get a bit obsessive about food.

So I think if you’re looking for a solid diet plan, especially if you have a significant amount of weight to lose, then Medifast is worthy of your consideration. Medifast does work, especially if you follow the plan. And with the variety of foods that they offer, it’s really not a difficult plan to follow either.

If you’d like a rundown of some of my favorite Medifast foods, for tips on what to order and what to avoid, then check out my review of all the different Medifast foods before placing your first order.

Jenni Kerala reviews many popular diet plans and offers dieting and weight loss tips. If you’re thinking about losing weight with Medifast, you can read a complete Medifast Plan review on her website.

Generic Printer Cartridges, Is it Worth It?
By Pinky Mcbanon Platinum Quality Author

The battle for inkjet cartridges rages on – with printer manufacturers insisting that their cartridges are the best and only option for printing and the manufacturers of generic cartridges on the other hand, declaring that their cartridges deliver printouts of as good quality as original cartridges. If you have ever purchased an inkjet printer, and run out of ink, you must have noticed that the cost of one inkjet cartridge sold by the manufacturer of your printer can be as high as 33% of the cost of the printer itself.

Many printer manufacturers sell their inkjet printers at very low cost. The cartridges are expensive to replace – in fact, 3-4 cartridge replacements can cost as much as the printer itself! A printer user would certainly like to cut down on this recurring expenditure while maintaining the ability to generate quality printouts when needed.

This is the reason behind the proliferation of generic cartridges – generic cartridge manufactures claim that their products deliver quality prints that can match those produced using branded ink cartridges at as low as one-fifths the cost.

How reliable are these claims? Can generic printer cartridges provide the cost effective print quality they claim to do? The truth lies somewhere in between.

While generic cartridges give as good quality printouts as original cartridges on normal paper, the differences really show up when printing on high quality paper. Original cartridges give clear, sharp and brighter printouts while generic cartridges tend to yield smeared images on high quality paper, most probably due to the difference in the quality of ink used. Another aspect is the longevity of the printout. Printouts using original cartridges maintain the quality over a much longer duration than those produced by generic cartridges. This is attributed to the research and development efforts of printer manufacturers in maintaining quality of the ink used in original cartridges.

The most important drawback of generic cartridges is the very high incidence of clogged nozzles in the printer. Most of the users of generic cartridges have reported an increase in the frequency of cleaning print heads.

If you want to cut down the cost of printing and are willing to put up with the effort involved in having the print head cleaned frequently, it may be worthwhile to use generic cartridges.

Home Grocery Delivery Service – 15 Reasons Why You Should Use a Home Grocery Delivery Service

Using a home grocery delivery service can be an excellent time-saver and is one of the luxurious conveniences of the modern age.

There are at least 15 reasons why you should use a home grocery delivery service:

Just imagine never having to waste your time at the grocery store ever again.

1. Avoid the long lines at the checkout counter. Avoid the crowds!
2. Never have to waste your time circling the parking lot looking for a parking space.
3. Never worry about food being out of stock.
4. Spend more time on other, more important tasks, the things that really matter.
5. You’ll have more free time to spend with your family and friends.
6. No need to deal with all of the physical labor of loading and unloading your car with groceries.
7. No need to drag your restless, screaming kids to the grocery store with you.
8. No more impulse buying! Stick to your budget!
9. Shop anytime you want, at your own convenience, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
10. What would normally take at least 2 hours can be done in 15 minutes!
11. Automate your grocery shopping by maintaining a grocery list on file and schedule deliveries on a regular basis.
12. Comparison shop easily and quickly by comparing multiple products at the same time.
13. Take advantage of sales and use coupons for great cost-savings as you would do in a traditional grocery store.
14. Despite a nominal service charge per order, you still end up saving time and money in the long run.
15. You don’t have to spend money on gas.

Time management is all about spending your time wisely so that you get the most out of the finite time that we have. One of the most effective time-saving techniques you can excise from your routine is to start grocery shopping online.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
