Nice nice nice!! Google just came out with Google SMS Beta and it's completly free!

If you don't understand what it means, don’t worry. It's very simple. When you send a text message question at GOOGL (46645), you will immediately get a reply from Google with the answer. It’s that simple! For the time being, it only works in the United States and in Canada since Google only came out with the beta version.

Are you wondering how to ask type the correct question to get the right answer? Well, there are different ways to ask the question and still get the answer that you’re looking for.

These are the ways to accuratly find your answer:

Don't forget the number to message is GOOGL (46645).

Google is not charging any fees presently for the use of this service. But, maybe, someday, this service won’t be free of charge anymore. We still don't know when but I'll try to post when they do. For the time being, your service provider will charge you for each text message sent. It depends if you have a monthly plan that allows you free text messages or if you pay as you go. So make sure that you know if you have a SMS bundle or you get charged for each message sent.

Here is the actual website where you can find all the information www.google.com/sms

The Secret


The Secret uses a documentary format to present the "Law of Attraction". This law is the "secret" that, according to the tagline, "has travelled through centuries to reach you". The film features interviews of professionals in the business of promoting, teaching, or writing about the concept of the "Law of Attraction". Interspersed among the interviews are testimonials, real-life stories, and quotes from historical figures.

As put forth in the film, the "Law of Attraction" principle posits that our feelings and thoughts attract real events in the world into our lives; from the workings of the entire cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs. The film also suggests that there has been a conspiracy to keep this central principle hidden from the public. The previews or "clues" to the film, show men who "uncovered the Secret...". On the DVD, Rhonda Byrne, creator, explains that she got inspired to create The Secret after reading the 1910 classic The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles.

On the other hand, OPRAH WINFREY talks about it on her show. Here are the 5 parts of the full show about the secret.

They also passed on CNN Larry King Live.

Testimonial of the Secret and the Law of Attraction

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought." - Buddha

As The Secret aptly points out, most people spend their time either thinking about what they don't want or noticing what they're already getting. Consequently, they keep attracting more of the same -- the same health issues, the same financial problems, the same relationships. But if you want to make real improvements in your life, you must spend more time thinking about what you desire, even if it seems to have no presence in your life yet. This change of mindset can be very challenging, but those who've successfully done it report amazing results.

I was first introduced to the Law of Attraction in 1992 when I heard Earl Nightingale's statement, "We become what we think about." But even after many years of repeated exposure to this concept, I wasn't totally practicing it. I still spent more time thinking about what I was already getting or worrying about potential negative outcomes instead of focusing -- really focusing -- on what I wanted to experience.

When I saw The Secret, the ideas it presented were nothing new to me. I'd encountered them all before. But the personal stories in the movie really made these concepts sink in. Seeing real people get real results helped me understand that this isn't some abstract, new agey concept that should only be pondered during meditation. The Law of Attraction can be used to generate down-to-earth, practical results. That's the whole point.

So if the Law of Attraction is so powerful, then I'd better have some results to show for it, right? I primarily focused on attracting financial and business improvements since they're easily measurable. In the six months after watching The Secret, my income increased from $8,000 per month to $40,000 per month. What's amazing about this is that I didn't work any harder than usual; in fact, I've been enjoying more time off. Just as the teachers in The Secret reported, new opportunities started coming out of the woodwork. Other people picked up the phone and called me. I didn't do anything special to seek them out, aside from keeping my thoughts focused on attracting new opportunities.

Other areas of my life also experienced significant growth after I saw The Secret. My web traffic doubled from 2.5 to 5.3 million page views per month. My relationships with my wife and children grew much closer, and I was able to spend more free time with them. I attracted positive friends more easily and went to more parties and social outings. I began enjoying my work on a deeper level than ever before. And I improved my fitness and started training in martial arts again.

The Law of Attraction is a simple concept, but it's also an enormously powerful one. Understanding it intellectually is not enough -- you must put it into practice. I think you'll find The Secret very helpful in making that shift. It may be one of the most positively impactful movies you'll see.


Now you see, this is a testimonial from someone who already knew the concept behind the secret but didn't fully understand it, and the movie the secret put it all in perspective for that person. Even if you don't know anything about it, and don't yet understand it, it doesn't matter because the movie explain everything from A to Z. Make youself a favor and watch the movie...I completely recommend it!

To your future success!

The beauty of the Balisong (Butterfly Knife)

"Balisong is the name of the famous Filipino "butterfly knife. Balisong is a tagalog (Filipino dialect) word, originated from the Batangas province (south of Manila, Philippines islands). This word is less ambiguous than "butterfly knife" which is also the name of Wing Chun weapons. Balisong means "broken horn" and refers to the mobile handle which protect the blade when closed. The balisong was the first knife which could be opened with one hand, very quickly." http://www.balisong.net/


History
"For centuries, the filipino warrior has been noted in the handling of clubs, spear, and bladed weapons. In the Southern Philippines, the Muslims were known not only for the courage and ferocity in battle, but also in their craftsmanship of bladed weaponry. The Kris, Kampilan, Barong and the likes were held in synoynym with Muslim warriors. When one thinks of Muslim warriors one automatically equates them as warriors with Kris in their hands. In general cannotation, this is true as no Southern warriors would feel properly dressed without this weapon:

In the Northern and Visayan provinces, the same is true. The itak (Chopping Knife) is part of the daily life. In the Philippines, being a primarily agricultural country, this is an essential farming implement and when the situation calls for it, can be utilized for it's primary being, i,e,, as a deadly weapon. The craftsmen who created this bladed weapons appeared at various times and places. In Batangas province, Philippines, there developed an industry that concentrate on making of deadly weapons like balisong knives.


Balisong, as history tells us, traces its ancestry to as far back as 800 A.D., as one of the ancient weapons of the mystic art of the Malaya-Polynesian fighting systems -- Kali. The Balisong or Butterfly knife, occasionally called the Batangas knife, is a deadly weapon that is in the hand of an expert can be opened as fast as, if not faster, than a Western switch blade. The majority of Balisong knives come from Barrio Balisong in Batangas province Philippines.


It is claimed that "Perfecto de Leon" is the father of Balisong and records have it that the first one was made in 1905. With the advent of the Industrial revolution, requirements for the lowly "Itak" or bolo decreased and Perfecto de Leon turned to manufacturing knives and eventually to development and propagation of the balisong as a weapon truly Filipino Barrio Balisong shares the industry with the other near by barrios such as Pook, Buli, and Tolo.


It is common for families to do piecework for the main manufacturer. This helps supplement their regular income and provides the general populace with a cottage industry. The average balisong maker can finish three to four knives a day. In properly managed balisong factory, the process is divided into specialized areas of labor. There is a blacksmith who forges and prepares the blade; the handle maker prepares the rough frames of the balisong. Another individual concentrates on preparing the latches for the balisong. Several people are employed to prepare and insert the various inlays used to decorate a balisong and put together the blade, the handle and the latches.The blade of a balisong is made from several materials depending on the quality required by the manufacturers. Ordinary balisongs are usually made from scrap iron, automotive leaf springs, ball bearing housings or used steel files. The official sizes of a balisong knife is 29 centimeters in overall length. There are balisongs made to order with sixteen to twenty four inches blades, but these are not of the standard type but more of novelty.


After World War II, during what is known as the liberation period, balisong knives became popular among the American soldiers who bought them back with them to the Western World.Today, the balisong is again receiving an even greater popularity with the revival of martial arts and the impact of modern communications media such as print publications and features films. In some cases, the balisong is even referred to as "Ninja Knife", possibly the product of western creative mind, attributing to the right application but the wrong country of origin." http://www.palacio.ph/balisong/




Techniques


When I started using the butterfly knife, I had no idea how to use it. I made my part of research and fell on this amazing website. I learned everything I know from BalisongXtreme and I completely recommend them. On this site, you will learn everything from the basic to the more advanced and even to the double knives.
