The comma is the most frequently used internal mark of punctuation. Of all the marks of punctuation, it has the widest variety of uses.

Using commas with dates, addresses, greetings, names, and large numbers

* Commas are used with full dates (month, day, and year) but omitted with partial dates (month and year):

1. Gas has been first used by the Germans on October 14, 1914, when they fired a prototype of modern tear gas from artillery near Pyres. - Paul Fussel

2. In June 1985 Beth Henley was working on her fifth play.

Exception: No comma is used to separate parts of a date that begins with the day.

The atomic bomb was first dropped on 6 August 1945.

* Commas are required between most of the elements in place names and addresses:

1. Miami, Dade County, Florida

2. Writing Lab, University of California, Riverside

Exception: # Do not use comma to separate street number from the name of the street:

15 Amsterdam Avenue

# Do not use comma to separate a state from zip code:

5625 Waverly Avenue, La Jolla, California 92037

* In complete sentence, a comma must follow the last element of place name, addresses, or dates:

1. He shot himself twice, once in the chest and then in the head, in a police station in Washington, D.C., with the cops looking on. - Red Smith

2. July 4, 1776, was the day the Declaration of Independence was signed.

* Commas are used to set off the names of someone directly addressed in the sentence:

A few years ago, Mr. Taplow, I spoke to you about the possibility of a summer job.

* Commas are used after the greeting in a friendly or informal letter, and after the closing of the letter of any kind:

Dear Mary,
Sincerely,

Yours truly,

* Commas are used to set off titles or degrees after a person’s name:

Barbara Kane, M.D., delivered the commencement address.
Exception: But Jr., Sr. may be written without commas:

Sammy Davis Jr. started his singing career at age four.

* The comma is used after the last part of a proper name when the last part comes first:

Lunt, George D.

* Commas are used to mark groups of three digits in large numbers, counting from the right:

Antarctica is 5,400,000 square miles of ice-covered land.

Using commas with conjunctions

* The comma is used before a conjunction (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet) linking two independent clauses.

Canadians watch America closely, but most Americans know little about Canada.

Exception: Some very brief independent clauses may not require a comma.

We dickered and then we made a deal. - Red Smith
I have seen the future and now I’m tired of it. - Gerald Nachman

* If one or both independent clauses have internal punctuation (especially commas), a writer might choose to separate two clauses with a semicolon and a coordinating conjunction so that the reader can easily see the main division of the sentence.

Genetically, we are nearly identical to mankind fifty thousand years ago; and some of us delight in the continuity represented by this, while others may be appalled. - Edward Hoagland

* Comma alone should be used between two independent clauses (comma splice):

“I plan to travel to England”, my friend said happily. “I want to visit Shakespeare’s birthplace.”

* When a conjunction adverb joins the independent clauses in a compound sentence, it is preceded by a semicolon:

Petra was absent on Friday; consequently, she missed the chemistry test.

* The use of a comma to join coordinate clauses is more common in novels, stories, and some types of journalistic writing than it is in serious expository prose. Although it is hard to make general statements here, it is safe to say this practice is the exception, not the rule. The comma is used by most writers to join coordinate clauses in the following situation:

- When the series of sentences takes the form of a climax:

1. I came, I saw, I conquered.

2. The leaves are turning to gold, squirrels are fattening, hunting time is near.

- When the statements form an antithesis, or are arranged in the “it was not merely this, it was mainly that” formula:

It was more than an annoyance, it was a pang. - Winston S. Churchill

To allow the Mahdi to enter Khartoum would not merely mean to return the whole of the Sudan to barbarism, it would be a menace to the safety of Egypt herself. - Lyton Strachey

3 Facts You Need To Know About Passive Income Super-Highway!
by Stefanus Wahyudi

“If I had to do it all over again, rather than build an old
style type of business, I would have started building a
Network Marketing business.”
- Robert T. Kiyosaki, Author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad”.

The reason Robert said that is because in order to make
more money in a shorter time, we cannot rely on our own
effort, money and power; we have to use the power of
LEVERAGE. And Network Marketing has the BEST leverage power
in generating money.

and will continue to grow STRONGLY in the next five years.

By the end of 2005 the number of worldwide Internet users
will double to 1.12B. WOW!

This means 1.12B people that you can reach by the internet.

Conclusion:

->> Market Reach:

If only 0.1% of them want to escape the rat race and here
you go offering the Online Network Marketing business to
them, you’ll have 1.12 MILLION POTENTIAL downlines.

============================================================
2. Online Network Marketing means REAL FREEDOM!
============================================================

You can operate your business from anywhere you want!

Run your business from your home, your office, Miami Beach
or Disneyland while taking vacation with your kids. Run it
from anywhere you’ve got Internet connection.

Remember that nowadays laptops, PDAs or even cellphones can
access Internet almost from anywhere with GPRS technology.
Can you imagine what will happen in the next 5 years?

No boss to order you around.
STOP making your boss richer, START enriching yourself NOW!

And the best part about Online Network Marketing is this
magic word:

AUTOMATION

Everyone loves Online Business because their business is up
24/7 and it’s on autopilot.

Conclusion:

->> Freedom:

2-3 hours a day is enough to take care of your Online Network
Marketing Biz.
It mainly consists of replying to emails and promoting your
website, while everything else has already been programmed on
autopilot; Moreover, you can work anywhere you WANT!

Isn’t this TRUE freedom?

Think about the remaining time of the day.
Could you use those time to create another income stream?

=============================================================
3. Good Cashflow, Good Passive Income!
=============================================================

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad”,
teaches that to be financially free, your passive income must
exceed your expenses.

Too many people know this formula.

However, most of them fail to know that the 2 of the greatest
things human ever created: Internet and Network Marketing
System, if COMBINED will be the FASTEST super-highway to
FINANCIAL FREEDOM.

To Keep on Earning, Keep on Learning By Michelle L. Casto, M.Ed.

Success in the modern world takes more than just information and
knowledge. You must apply what you know to real life situations
and you must be open to learning, un-learning, and re-learning.
With the rapid advancement of technology, fluctuating economy
and societal and corporate changes, you must adopt a learning
mindset in order to succeed. Indeed, the key to lifelong earning
is lifelong learning.

As you embark on this lifelong learning path, strive to always
be a student. Open yourself to new ideas, information, concepts
and be adaptable—there are essential for the new world of
work. Some benefits of becoming a lifelong learner are:
increased self confidence when approaching new tasks or ideas
persistence in pursuing goals better decision-making and problem
solving skills the ability to be a career strategist improved
time management and organizational skills the ability to change
with the times greater personal satisfaction higher pay and
employment opportunities.

To become a student of life, start by finding out how you learn
best. There are three ways people learn: auditory (hearing),
visual (seeing), and kinesthetic (doing). If you are not sure
which type you are, ask yourself, “How do I like to be given
directions?” If you are an auditory learner, you prefer to be
told how to get there. If you are a visual learner, you prefer
to be shown how to get there. If you are a kinesthetic learner,
you prefer to actually drive there yourself.

Another important aspect to learning is whether you are left or
right-brained dominant. Left-brain dominant people are good with
logic, analysis, math, language, and writing. Right-brain
dominant people are good with imagination, colors, graphics,
music and rhythm. Of course we have the capacity for both; and
when we are able to tap into both sides of the brain, we are
using our brain’s full potential.

Many famous people used their whole brain. For example, Leonardo
Da Vinci was an artist and innovator. He sketched helicopters
hundreds of years ago because he was fascinated by mechanics. He
also used his knowledge of how the human body stands and moves
to create extraordinary, lifelike paintings.

Strive to use your whole brain when studying, working and
interacting with others. Also, be selective with what you feed
your brain. As the computer saying goes, “garbage in, garbage
out.” The same holds true for what programs your brain is using.
Therefore, only input positive, healthy and educational
programs. Keep in mind that your thoughts, along with your
ability to add, change, and discard them, is what essentially
makes up your mind.

An ancient Chinese proverb says it best, “To gain knowledge, add
things every day. To gain wisdom, remove things every day.” Just
like a computer needs to delete files and information that are
no longer useful, you have to discard information that no longer
serves you. Knowing what is important to know, as well as what
needs to go, will ensure that you have plenty of space left for
learning the next new thing.

The other day I found myself frustrated with the slow progress on my new project. Other people involved, subcontractors, just ‘weren’t getting it’. Why couldn’t they just see what needed to be done and do it? Why was everything taking so long?

I decided that the best thing for me to do was take a breather, so I went with my dog, Sultain, for a hike up the mountainside. As I am huffing and puffing up a 1000 feet of climb, even the dog is panting, I am mentally reviewing the ‘to do’ list I have to get through for the launch of seLFTech. It is clear to me that I am not going to make the self-imposed deadline of the end of January because of delays caused by other people.

Then suddenly, it occurs to me that I am falling into the trap of assessing blame instead of accepting responsibility. I am also allowing anger and resentment to prevent me from enjoying this moment.

Here I am, with my dog, going for our favorite walk up the side of a mountain to a spectacular vista and I am not even mentally present. What a waste! So, I make the effort and clear my mind to focus on just enjoying the moment.

Suddenly, a little ditty starts playing in my mind. Usually this kind of thing is an annoyance; some stupid ad jingle or meaningless song lyric that won’t go away. This time, this is what I have going on in that tape loop…

“Climb every mountain, search high and low
Follow every byway, every path you know.
Climb every mountain, ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream!”

Now, I recognize that tune, but I cannot place it. It is kind of funny that it shows up just now and I appreciate the irony. It makes me smile and I wonder if my subconscious has a sense of humor. I am still attempting to place the song when we get to the top of our climb.

I stop and take in the incredible vista; gazing across the two mile wide valley to admire the 4,500 foot peak across the valley. Suddenly it clicks and I start to laugh. Yes, my subconscious does have a sense of humor.

There is the picture, clear as this day, of Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, singing atop a hill in the Alps with vast peaks across the valley,

“Climb every mountain, search high and low
Follow every byway, every path you know.
Climb every mountain, ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream!

“A dream that will need
all the love you can give,
Every day of your life
for as long as you live.

“Climb every mountain, ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream!”

It has been at least 35 years since I watched that movie. It is surely odd that those Rogers and Hammerstein lyrics should show up just now as I am climbing my mountain and also struggling uphill to get done what needs doing in my business world. Serendipity, to be sure.

Now, there is the perspective, the vista I made this climb to enjoy. It is breathtaking. The view from the top of this peak to an even greater peak I may someday also climb.

I had almost forgotten to enjoy this climb. Silly, silly me. Half the pleasure is in getting there. The struggle is often what makes the accomplishment all the more enjoyable.

This regular climb is what helps keep me physically fit. The continuous climb to the peaks of accomplishment helps keep me mentally and emotionally fit. Each step along the way is a victorious moment. Each moment is a fulfillment of my date with destiny.

As fellow contributor to this newsletter, Zig Ziglar, often says, “See you at the top!”

Purpose plus Passion plus Persistence equals Prosperity.

Planning a wedding and keeping your sanity is not an easy task. Everyone knows that planning a wedding can be an extremely stressful and trying time, especially as the big day approaches.

One of the most important details of the wedding is the actual wedding date. This is usually the detail that is taken care of first. Factors in choosing a date include the availability of the venue where the wedding will take place and availability of friends and family on the assigned date.

It is also advisable to set a budget before you start to make plans. This way you’re able to organize the details according to your budget.

Some venues where weddings are held offer discounts on days when traditionally, weddings are not held. Also, the time the wedding takes place also becomes a factor in the expense. For example, mornings and afternoon receptions are usually cheaper than receptions held in the evening.

Venues can offer discounts depending on the time of year. Just after the holidays could be a good time to hold a wedding if you are considering the cost. This time is not considered a ‘peak time’, therefore the price tends to be less expensive.

It’s important to talk to your fiancée about the size of your wedding. Your dream wedding might not be your fiancée’s. So it’s necessary for you to discuss details such as the location of the venue/reception, the number of people who get invited to the wedding/reception, and the choice of entertainment.

It’s important to reach an agreement on the guest list. If you want to keep the wedding an intimate affair, only family and/or friends would be invited. If you wanted to have the wedding of the century, friends and family, long lost relatives, the whole neighborhood and high school buddies could be invited. When making the guest list, consider the space capacity of your chosen venue.

It’s a good idea to hire a professional to capture this momentous occasion. Sure, your friends can take good pictures and some of them may own a camcorder. But for this special occasion, you would want something special, lasting, and visually presentable. This way you could also share them with your friends and family.

Don’t forget the cake! It’s a good idea to have a tasting first, before settling on a cake. Invite your family and friends for the cake tasting. This way, this task becomes fun for everyone!

Order wedding invitations. If you want to get creative, you can always print your own. This way, you can customize them, and add a more personal touch to the invitation.

Don’t forget to start looking for a wedding gown months before the wedding so the bride has plenty of time to make a selection. Also, the groom should make arrangements to rent or buy a tuxedo preferably in advance in case there is trouble with the fitting.

Couples who don’t have enough time on their hands or just find the preparations that go into planning a wedding too overwhelming can always just hire a wedding planner. This way, everything gets organized and coordinated for them. But if you decide to go the wedding planner route, don’t forget to add this cost into your budget.

You’ve got the concept. You even have the consumer base. But how
do finance your home based business? One of the great ways to
finance your home based business is by obtaining a government
loan. The process is fairly simple, as the government is big on
trying to support small business owners like you by helping to
finance your home based business.

The biggest benefit of using the government to help finance your
home based business is that it offers significantly lower
interest rates than any other type of private loan. Also, you
can obtain a loan that stretches over a longer period of time,
helping you not only finance your home based business, but also
to keep it running during those months in which money is a
little tight. Plus, the government does not have the same
stringent criteria to qualify for a loan to finance you home
based business. The more mild criteria means that more people
will qualify for loans to finance their home based businesses.

The obstacle to financing your home based business through
government loans is the paperwork itself. There is often much
more paperwork involved when you are trying to finance your home
based business with government loans than when you apply for
private loans. If you can, you may want to use an agent to
complete your government loan paperwork so that you can finance
your home based business with less hassle.

Having a good understanding of the loans available through the
government to finance your home based business is also
important. In a broad definition, there are basically two types
of loans available to finance your home based business. The
first is a VA loan, which is only available if you are a veteran
looking to finance your home based business. The other type of
government loan that you can use to finance your home based
business is an FHA loan. Both types of loans have fixed rates
and are not subject to rate changes, which is helpful if you are
looking to finance your home based business and are on a budget.

Take your time to consider your options to finance your home
based business. However, if you are looking for a stable way to
finance your home based business and you are willing to do the
paperwork, the government may be a great option for you. You can
contact your local Small Business Association to find out more
about how the government can help finance your home based
business.
