Real Estate Millionaire Tip

Hi, I?m martial arts master Bill FitzPatrick; this is Real Estate Millionaire Tip #24

The biggest OBSTACLE to your success in real estate is you simply NOT doing what you are capable of doing.

REMEMBER, your greatest asset is up here

Train your mind

Become an Action Principles Champion, a tough, thoughtful, spiritual person of action.

GET your Action Principles book and READ an Action Principle every day.

Just as if you were in one of my karate classes,

THIS IS YOUR TRAINING.

Then, start thinking for yourself and your family

HMMMM

Over the next few years,

What will happen with investments in stocks, bonds, pork belly futures, or modern art?

Who cares,

YOU HAVE REAL ESTATE.

What?s the winning number on tonight?s lottery?

Who cares? You have real estate.

Will a distant relative die and leave you a fortune?

Who cares? You have real estate.

Does your pretentious next door neighbor have an advanced business degree from a prestigious university?

Screw him.

Who cares? YOU HAVE REAL ESTATE.

BY Being an Action Principles Champion and applying the information in this course YOU will make YOU wealthy.

I am your teacher ?

giving you information and motivating you

YOU must do the work for yourself and your family and your family dynasty.

Do this.

You deserve this.

If you?d rather be poor or average,

why are you choosing less for your life and the lives of those who look to you for support and leadership?

If you feel lazy or defeated, see a shrink or

go into the desert for forty days and forty nights and figure out what YOUR problem is.

Real estate is NOT a problem.

Real estate IS your route to financial independence at an early age.

Applying the information from my teaching will make you wealthy.

Your family and the generations to follow will thank you.

LET this be the start of your dynasty.

MOST real estate investment and success programs will tell you that AVERAGE people can succeed.

Those teachers and writers are wrong.

Average people are too much like sheep.

They are NOT ambitious.

They are being lead around by the nose.

They listen to people who do NOT own investment real estate telling them NOT to buy investment real estate.

Imagine if you could meet Donald Trump ?

You tell The Donald that you want to buy six small income properties in your town

What would the Donald do

He would NOT tell you NOT to buy real estate.

To the Donald, your goals would be so SMALL that he would simply shrug, smile and pat you on the head.

As you do your research in your small, specific investment area ?

you WILL meet people who are ALREADY millionaires from their investments ?

Talk to these winners

Do Not waste your time talking to or trying to win over ALL the average DO NOTHINGS ?

always bitching, moaning, whining and complaining

FIND the winners

IGNORE the losers

Are you with me? Do you have your Action Principles book? A donation of $20 gets you two signed books ? Do that now

And then, get back to work.

NBA playoffs: 76ers beat Celtics, force Game 7

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics, 82-75, Wednesday night at?Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Arena, setting the stage for?a seventh and series-deciding game in Boston on Saturday.

By Christopher Hartman,?Contributor / May 24, 2012

Philadelphia 76ers' Jrue Holiday, right, goes up for a shot as Boston Celtics' Kevin Garnett defends during the second half of Game 6 of an NBA basketball Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series, Wednesday, May 23, 2012, in Philadelphia. Philadelphia won 82-75.

Matt Slocum/AP

Enlarge

Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers has referred to games like Wednesday night?s grinder against the Philadelphia 76ers as being ?played in mud.? It was certainly ugly all around, but the 76ers came away with the victory, 82-75, in Philadelphia, forcing a seventh game at Boston Garden on Saturday night. Allen Iverson, the former 76ers star guard who appeared to thunderous applause before the game, might have said that the best way to win a playoff series at Wells Fargo Arena is ?practice, practice, practice.? The Celtics should have taken some of that advice to heart, because for most of Game 6, they looked completely flummoxed.

Skip to next paragraph

'; } else if (google_ads.length > 1) { ad_unit += ''; } } document.getElementById("ad_unit").innerHTML += ad_unit; google_adnum += google_ads.length; return; } var google_adnum = 0; google_ad_client = "pub-6743622525202572"; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_feedback = "on"; google_ad_type = "text"; google_adtest = "off"; google_image_size = '230x105'; google_skip = '0'; // -->

It wasn?t all bad news for the Celtics, who got 24 points from Paul Pierce, including 13 for 13 from the free throw line. And Kevin Garnett almost single-handedly kept Boston close throughout the fourth quarter by contributing 20 more. But no one else on the Celtics reached the?ten-point plateau, with both Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen tossing in nine apiece.

One of the most telling statistics for Boston was how it got schooled in the paint. ?Philadelphia handily outscored them on the inside, 42-16. One reason for that, 76ers head coach Doug Collins suggested afterward, was that he wanted to keep his team in ?attack mode? and not try to get into a shooting contest with the Celtics. And the mediocrity of this statistic is compounded when considering Boston outrebounded Philadelphia, 48-37 (including 14 offensive boards), but just couldn?t convert on second-chance points.

Rajon Rondo couldn?t set up the offense, which accounts for his unusually low six assists. And Boston didn?t help its offensive cause by turning the ball over 17 times. ?

The 76ers, though they only hit one of nine shots from three-point range, nonetheless distributed the ball well, getting five players in double-figures. The Celtics put no pressure on them in that department either, hitting only 3 of 14 from beyond the arc. At one point, second-shift guard Keyon Dooling, ordinarily a serviceable three-point shot-maker, tossed up a rainbow which found nothing but air and fell harmlessly into the floor seats behind the basket ? it perfectly summed up the Celtics? offensive trials. Boston supplemented that with a series-low 33.3% from the field ? including Rondo?s hitting only 4 of 14 field goals. This field-goal drought also spread to the bench, with the Celtics relief squad managing only five points ? all scored by Mickael Pietrus ? in just over a collective hour on the floor.

If Boston wasn?t exactly piling up the points last night, they made up for it with their personal fouls ? getting whistled 25 times to Philadelphia?s 16. This hurt particularly in the last quarter, with Ray Allen fouling out in the crucial final minutes, and 76ers guard Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala hitting some key free-throws as the clock waned. In fact, Holiday (who led the 76ers with 20 points) and teammate Lou Williams were seemingly making shots from everywhere Wednesday night ? particularly inside ? and that, as much as anything else, was a big source of frustration for Boston?s big men. ?

The scene now shifts to Boston, where the pressure of getting to the next round will be sitting squarely on the Celtics? shoulders. One important factor when considering the grueling nature of the playoff game schedule is that Boston will have two days rest ? which favors a skilled, yet relatively elderly and hobbled Celtics team. For them, Game 7 will have to be a statement game, with Pierce needing to get involved early and often, and Rondo piling up the assists. But eighth-seeded Philadelphia, the relatively young and inexperienced squad they are, have been remarkably poised and shown that they are capable of winning close games on the road. Regardless, Saturday will undoubtedly be another tight and hard-fought game.

Tim Armstrong ? I Love TechCrunch And It Made AOL Cool Again

armstrA panel run by TechCrunch's Josh Constine with with Tim Armstrong, CEO of AOL and Melissa Brenner of the NBA was billed as being about how social advertising is working for those content brands. In the end, we heard a lot more about the future path of AOL and TechCrunch perhaps. But let's review. Armstrong admitted that AOL was originally built as a portal and on a subscription model but that it needed to head in a content direction. He said the overall premise is that "content is going to be what differentiates platforms" from search and social. AOL "invested early in the curve and deep into content" in order to tie in business models and eventually move into paid content. A social strategy offers the possibility of huge distribution for this content play.

Trainer Lukas 'disappointed' with peers' behavior

BALTIMORE (AP) ? Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas criticized the behavior of a few of his peers Wednesday, saying the actions of a few recent Kentucky Derby winners have tarnished the reputation of his profession.

Speaking at Pimlico Race Course, site of Saturday's Preakness, Lukas said, "I'm very disappointed as a trainer that we have the stigma of some of our Derby winners not carrying the banner."

He cited Rick Dutrow, who is appealing a 10-year suspension in New York for multiple medication violations, and Chip Woolley, who last year allegedly urinated on slot machines at a track in Iowa.

Lukas also mentioned I'll Have Another trainer Doug O'Neill, who won the Derby on May 5 but faces charges of drugging a horse in California. O'Neill has denied the accusation.

"We've got Dutrow under suspension. We've got Chip Woolley (urinating) on the slot machines in casinos. And now Doug, at least, has some gray area hanging over him," said Lukas, who will saddle Optimizer in the Preakness.

"That bothers me, frankly. I think those guys are all good enough they don't need for there to be doubts. I think they can train horses and not have that problem in front of them. They can do it the right way. That's just the way I feel. I would say that if they were standing right here."

Dutrow's Big Brown won the Derby and Preakness in 2008. He sends out long shot Zetterholm in the Preakness.

Woolley in 2009 trained long shot Derby winner Mine That Bird, who ran second in the Preakness. Last year, security staff escorted Woolley from the casino at Prairie Meadows Racetrack.

O'Neill, meanwhile, has been accused by the California Horse Racing Board for "milkshaking," the illegal practice of giving a horse a blend of bicarbonate of soda, sugar and electrolytes. The mixture is designed to reduce fatigue and enhance performance.

"We played by the rules and I am vigorously fighting the previous allegations," O'Neill said Wednesday.

O'Neill faces his third total carbon dioxide violation in California and fourth in a career that has spanned 25 years.

O'Neill's most recent violation dates from an Aug. 25, 2010, race at Del Mar in California. A blood test on his horse Argenta showed elevated levels of TCO2 before it finished eighth.

He faces penalties ranging from a minimum 90-day suspension and a $5,000 fine to a maximum 180-day suspension and fine of $15,000 depending on whether a hearing officer's report finds aggravating circumstances or not.

"I'll Have Another, along with every other horse in our barn goes through an intense physical exam and a blood and urine exam," O'Neill said. "We run pure horses. We run a great operation, and anyone who comes to our barn all know that we love the horses and do everything we can to keep them at the top of their game. If I didn't win the Derby, you guys wouldn't be asking that."

Nvidia GeForce GTX 690


AMD and Nvidia are notorious for routinely trading off the trophy for the best video card on the planet. But judging from Nvidia's latest release, the GeForce GTX 690, we can't help but wonder if the company may hold onto it for slightly longer than usual this time. This isn't just because of its speed, which is considerable, but also because of how well it holds up against two GeForce GTX 680 cards united in Scalable Link Interface (SLI) mode, and because of its power usage?which may just be its most attractive feature. Alas, there's always a "but," and the GTX 690's is its price: a whopping $999 (list), upping the bar that other dual-GPU cards have set around $700-$800. But if you crave the speediest and most power-efficient card you can get, don't let price stand in your way of this one.

Given that it's based on two GK104 GPUs (the same used in the GTX 680), there's not a lot to say about the GTX 690 from a chip-level standpoint that we haven't already said; there's mainly just a lot of multiplying by two to be done. Eight Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs) mean 16 advanced Streaming Multiprocessor (SMX) units, 3,072 CUDA parallel processing cores, 256 texture units, and 64 ROP units. There's a total of 4GB of GDDR5 video memory, running at 6.008GHz over two 256-bit memory interfaces.

But the clock speeds are the same: 915MHz at the default level, but capable of accelerating to 1,019MHz on average when GPU Boost, Nvidia's new system for dynamic overclocking when the headroom exists for it, activates. And like a single GTX 680, there are four display outputs (three dual-link DVI and one Mini DisplayPort) that let you connect up to the four monitors to the card at once. The card has a TDP of 300 watts, and Nvidia recommends a power supply of no less than 650 watts if you want to install the GTX 690.

Where the GTX 690 differs from the GTX 680 is in its design. Whereas dual-GPU cards traditionally just extend the design elements of the series they lead, the GTX 690 abandons the GTX 680's (tried-and-true) black plastic style in favor of an entirely new and fresh approach. Nvidia claims that these innovations have practical applications, and in case of the cast aluminum frame with trivalent chromium plating, fan housing made from an injection-molded magnesium alloy, dual?vapor chamber cooling system (with dual-slot heat sink and an aluminum base plate) that expels heat via a center-mounted axial fan, and ten-phase power supply with a ten-layer two-ounce copper PCB that's undoubtedly true. But the polycarbonate windows on the card's front and the GeForce logo on the side that glows when the system is powered on suggest that Nvidia was just as concerned with delivering a prestige object to those willing to shell out a cool grand to be able to better play games. (And, if you ask us, that's actually not a terrible reason in this case.)

In any event, the usual caveats with big video cards apply. The GTX 690 blocks a second expansion slot, requires two PCIe power connectors (both eight-pin, a diversion from the two six-pin plugs used on the GTX 680, though understandable given the card's beefy stature), and may be too long to fit into smaller cases. (But like its immediate predecessor it's shorter than we're used to, so you'll have a better chance of it working in your system.)

Performance
Performance on the GTX 690 is, of course, excellent?which makes sense for a fusion of two units of the fastest single-GPU card out there. It dominated AMD's last-generation dual-GPU behemoth, the Radeon HD 6990 , in practically every gaming test we threw at it, which is to be expected. Sample scores: 59.8 frames per second (fps) versus 53.6fps in Aliens vs. Predator, 74fps versus 57fps in Batman: Arkham City, and 84fps versus 45.9fps in Lost Planet 2?in each case running at 2,560-by-1,600 resolution, with maximum details enabled. The one test where the GTX 690 didn't triumph? Total War: Shogun 2, where the 6990 came out ahead with 27fps versus the GTX 690's 23.3fps?but more on this in the next paragraph.

It's worth noting, however, that the GTX 690 is rarely faster than two SLI-connected GTX 680s. It keeps up incredibly nicely with the pair of cards; it just doesn't surpass them in terms of speed in most cases. Granted, because the frame rates we're talking about here are so high, this isn't a big deal?can you tell the difference, for example, between Batman: Arkham City running at 76fps and 74fps, and Lost Planet 2 running at 86.4fps and 84fps??but those who've already splurged on two GTX 680s can still feel satisfied with their purchase. (One note about performance here: There was functionally no discernible difference between the two GTX 680s and the single GTX 690 running Total War: Shogun 2. We asked Nvidia about this, and were told that a recent patch to the game has hindered multi-GPU performance somewhat?this also likely explains at least some of why the 6990 looked faster on the same game. We can't guarantee that you'll be hampered by this problem, or that a future patch won't fix it, but it's something to keep an eye on for now if you play that game.)

As was the case with the GTX 680, the defining characteristic of the GTX 690 is its power efficiency. Our full Intel X79 Express?based test system drew (as measured by way of an Extech Datalogger) 110 watts when idle, and 413.7 watts under the full load of a maxed-out Metro 2033 benchmark run. That's impressive as it is, but it looks even better compared with the GTX 680 SLI setup, which drew 116.7 while idling and 469.6 watts under load: Maybe the two cards have the tiniest of performance edges, but the power savings will unquestionably prove much more significant over the long run. An interesting side note: The GTX 690 also drew less power than either the 6990 (125 watts while idling, 424.9 watts under load) or two Radeon HD 7950 ?cards in a CrossFireX configuration (110 watts while idle, 415.3 watts under load).

Nvidia has done a remarkable job with the GeForce GTX 690, turning out a card that's worth bragging about?and bestowing our Editors' Choice award upon?for reasons that go well beyond merely its speed. We have no doubt that AMD is working on its own dual-GPU card at this very moment (we'll even venture a guess at its name: the Radeon HD 7990?), but unless the company effects a substantial revamp of its current generation's architecture, that card is going to have a hard time competing with Nvidia's. In performance, power usage, and appearance alike, it's not just the card to beat?it's the card to cherish.
