      <title>Convert Your Car To A Hybrid Using HHO System Kits!</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/18647</link>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;WITH GAS PRICES SKY-ROCKETTING WHY NOT CHANGE YOUR CAR INTO A HYBRID USING  WATER AS A FUEL ALTERNATIVE AND ECONOMIZE ON GAS.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We manufacture Water4Gas HHO System kits and components.  We use the units in our cars. If you don't have a faulty Oxygen Sensor and Map/Maf Sensors you will achieve 50% or more Mileage per Gallon.  All the work is simplified for the average person with little or no auto mechanic skills. All orders come with step-by-step installation manual. Order now and have your very own HHO running Hybrid Vehicle. Have your HHO System installed in one afternoon and start saving gas and your engine.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Note&lt;/b&gt;: We no longer use the Plexiglas and the wire! We use a combination of Stainless Steel Discs spaced on Stainless Steel Rods. This increases surface area for more HHO production because you can add more electrolyte in a generator (cell) without having to worry about overheating.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;WE USE 316L STAINLESS DISCS SPACED ON STEEL RODS IN THE GENERATOR TO PRODUCE MORE HHO!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have to install a complete kit to achieve the above results. Our Complete Kit comes with the following; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 x Electrolyzer Cells &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PCV Enhancer &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Map Sensor Enhancer &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fuel Warmer &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;6' Vacuum Hose &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Installation Instruction Manual &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Electrical accessories for complete &amp;#38; easy installation &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take advantage of our reduced prices and save on Gas!&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Investment ideas</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/18386</link>
      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
I am a business owner (game and non game development) in Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
I am looking for investor. Here are my ideas:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Ukraine currently has a visible recession of prices for ground areas and building services due to the crisis. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
But according to predictions of many experts, we're waiting for the price rise in 2010-2011 because the country will come out of recession, mortgage lending will be resumed and due to coming building boom before world soccer championship Euro-2012. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Against the background the most reasonable investment would be to invest money in building small office buildings (for one company) and small cottages (for one family) with the view of the further sale or rent. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. I have a friend who owns an electrical business firm in Kiev. He's been rendering different electrical services more than 5 years; as well he organized a small limited production of electrical equipment by order. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
We have an old idea to organize a serious production of equipment for the energy saving systems. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Those systems allow an energy save and its rational usage. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
The equipment includes heating and electricity generation systems (based on Stirling engine, &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FStirling_engine&amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine&lt;/a&gt;), electro technical equipment (boxes, brackets, supports, etc.).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Energy saving technologies are greatly asked-for in CIS countries and all over the world. Especially, in the light of economy of natural resources, issues with the petroleum transfer, growth of price for electricity, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
They would allow equipping small houses and offices providing a highest possible save of facilities and ecological compatibility. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Also, this type of equipment may be called-for in your country. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Considering the Ukrainian industrial-engineering base (plants, research institutes etc) and the cutting-edge technologies, such a production can be launched with relatively small investments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
This is actually a whole perspective direction and demand for it would keep growing from year to year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are interested to talk to me, please write answer on this post or send me a message. We can earn money together.</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
Note: We no longer use the Plexiglas and the wire! We Now use a combination of Stainless Steel Discs spaced on Stainless Steel Rods.

      <title>Local, Sustainable Custom Furniture and Interiors</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/15498</link>
      <description>Our company is based in Portland, Oregon. We have been operational for 10 months and have a complete and solid business plan available for review. We opened as a retail and consignment furntiure store in a middle-class neighborhood. It became apparent five months back that we had more to give!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our goal now is to bring local artisans--who utilize best-practices (using salvaged and recycled materials, non-toxic finishes, client-education) ito create unique and custom furniture-- together with our steadily growing client base, middle- to upper-income folks who are spending money on quality goods for their homes. We are finding that this becomes a very happy marriage of design and money well-spent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We find ourselves in a local economy that is currently not supporting new construction, and it is clear to us as we speak with our clientele and follow market trends that clients are more likely to spend money on remodeling and on purchases with longevity and staying power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I came into this company as an Interiors Specialist and bring with me several contacts and resources that have already been of great benefit to our walletshare. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am currently able to offer not only my expanisve product knowledge and personal contact list, but deep discounts for this company's clientele on eco-conscious and sustainable flooring and tile options through a well known local company, Interstate Flooring Company. This same sort of collabration with a local paint store brings to our clientele the security of using NO VOC paint through Powell Paint Center.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Essentially, we are able to bring high-design in a low-brow way to people who are seeking to create holistic environments for their families and businesses, or to refurbish their homes while they live there or to increase their near future sales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are happy to share our artisan and project lists. We are one week away from going live with our online presence, as we belive that this is critical part of staying viable in the current times and economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We currently have 6 active projects on the books, with several more queing up.

      <title>Event: Turning a hobby into a full-fledged biz</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/9072</link>
      <description>Founded in 2003 by Lela Barker, &lt;b&gt;Bella Lucce&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bellalucce.com&amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com"&gt;http://www.bellalucce.com&lt;/a&gt;, was conceived from her frustrating search for sumptuous, natural beauty products. A wide gulf existed between "natural" products and "luxurious." Barker sought to infuse her natural formulas with delicious decadence, resulting in products that effectively bridged the gap between the two industries. The result is a collection of innovative bath and body products that marry exotic ingredients gathered from around the world with pure, naturally-focused formulas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;About Lela:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With no formal business training and less than $500 in start-up capital, &lt;b&gt;Lela Barker&lt;/b&gt; commandeered nearly every inch of her 800 square foot house for the research and development of her naturally focused skincare line. Six months later, in the fall of 2003, the first 18 products made their debut. Lela was home with her children...and she was definitely working. Lela now has 8 full time employees and her luxury products can be found in spas and wellness centers from LA to as far as Dubai. Learn how she grew her business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SBOC Team is &lt;b&gt;taking questions in advance&lt;/b&gt; from members who want to ask Lela about her journey from a home based business to an international phenomenon. Ask her how she:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Factored philanthropy into her small business&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Marketed on the cheap&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Secured international distributors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Networked&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bootstrapped her business&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Post your question here and then check back on &lt;b&gt;October 22 at 2:00PM EST&lt;/b&gt; for Lela's response. You can also pose a question to Lela anytime during the event.</description>

      <title>Going Green Means Saving Green!!!</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/docs/DOC-2477</link>
      <description>I've always been interested in living a "green life" even before becoming green was popular. I have always hated paying high energy bills so I decided to do something about it. This is when I started my own business to help myself and others practice the green lifestyle and save money doing it.&lt;br /&gt;
It makes me feel great when I see a savings on my power bill monthly and I know that money is going into my pocket!&lt;br /&gt;
To start saving right away go to my website: &lt;a href="http://www.gpsavers.com"&gt;http://www.gpsavers.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Green Businesses? What does that even mean?</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/docs/DOC-2462</link>
      <description>I am not so cynical as to say that environmental consciousness doesn’t matter, in fact I think it is very important. But being “green” has taken on it’s own meaning in the last two years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually, my bone of contention is that the label “green” has no meaning at all. There are no government regulations for calling your business “green” like the comprehensive legislation necessary to be able to label a product "organic". &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So now we are bombarded with terms like “green checking”, “green lifestyle” and just about anything else.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ill-effect of this of this marketing effort ranges from silly to detrimental.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silly: I don’t mean to single them out but Esurance really just bombards everyone with their "green" campaign. In fact, they've based their whole identity based on it. They're constantly telling us they don’t use paper to file your insurance. So, they base their entire corporate branding around being green?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Does anyone remember using the internet or computers for that matter... for the last decade? I don’t think every Microsoft Office user would have the audacity to call themselves green because they aren’t using paper. Despite the fact that the claim is comically ridiculous, it’s also not accurate. You’d need to take into consideration that you use electricity, servers, computers, an infrastructure and monitors to be able to use Esurance. And even if the lack of paper does offset those things, it’s still utterly hilarious&lt;br /&gt;
that someone woke up one morning and said, “Hey, we’re an online company. That makes us green.” But it’s working because they keep rolling out with a new “green”&lt;br /&gt;
commercial every week. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detrimental aspect is obvious. We don’t know who is “green” and who is actually taking real steps toward sustainabilit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
best, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Funding for new small "green business" focused on families?</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/14767</link>
      <description>My small business will benefit my local community but also encourage a greener, healthier lifestyle that will soon benefit our global community. Our focus is to provide wellness classes to families, mostly mothers that will give them tools to support each other, live more sustainably, and raise their children. Our center is going to be a "green" educational play center that focuses on children ages 0-5 but also has the wellness programs during evenings and weekends for the parents. My challenge i that I am finding most Angel Investors and other lending options want to focus on technology, internet based, or manufacturing companies.  Our community consists of mostly middle class, young professionals that are starting their families. The opportunity of lease space that I am working with is within the local community center the Society Hill area of Philadelphia. I am wanting to open a business that serves the families in my community. All of these things should be a benefit to me yet I am not finding the correct resources. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I do have my business plan, I have filed for my LLC/ FEIN/ city licensing, and I am seeking out the SBA for my area. The challenge is as a single mother that was recently laid off my income is now 25% of what it was before now that I living on unemployment and I need support with startup seed money to pay for the fees and to have the down payment to obtain my larger loan. Are there Angels that would be interested in small loans that give rate of return and quick repayment for a community based service business like mine?</description>

      <title>What Small Business should do in a Recession Time!!</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/docs/DOC-2380</link>
      <description>What do we do in times like this?&lt;br /&gt;
Been a small business since 1990 we have seen corrections before but nothing like this, and been in Retail wholesale packaging supplies we depend on small business and in 2008 we start seen what everybody saw that the economy is slowing down and we are facing recession and our account receivable started getting ill and we had just expanded to have 2 locations and expenses were piling up and something had to be done about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Been the Head Coach President of the company family business I sat down with my brother Tarek (Partner) and my son Moe and I  said we have a challenge and I explained to Them what is going on so they asked me what are we going to do about it?&lt;br /&gt;
I remember saying We are going to challenge it back it is a correction and we are in it not by choice but we have 2 choices:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choice  # 1Is to survive and make it by# challenging# back and be determined to make it and give it everything we have got, knowing this is# Temporary# and if we survive then we will be stronger and we do not then we will know that we have tried and I mean# really# tried without holding anything back no fear we need to lift off just like been at the runway if we# hesitate# that means we crash.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choice # 2 Is not an option we will not give up without a# fight# .&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My brother and my family (like always believed in my visions and they have always backed me up 100%) they said we are with you but How?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How? this is the question that had to be answered.&lt;br /&gt;
I said I will tell you how:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have identified the problem* already* and from here we  will spend 98% of our* effort* on finding the solution, so from now on we breath the word solutions every second and we do not waste time on talking about the problem we allready know what is the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Solution as folow:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What can we offer our customers that is better more cost effective save them money something# unique# new ideas been creative think outside the box and# listening# more to customers and see what else can we do.&lt;br /&gt;
Seek new market using the web and# tapping# into# different# areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We went to work base on these points and yes we worked very hard long hours and I was averaging 14 hours a day showing up at 5.00 am instead of 8.00 am (Starbucks is good idea in the morning).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This what we came up with &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;New Products&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; we did the Trademarkon them we call Them *HexaPack® &lt;br /&gt;
, HexaCrate® &lt;br /&gt;
, HexaBox® &lt;br /&gt;
, and  Hexaliner®*  [ Using Paper base product &lt;b&gt;Hexacomb Honeycomb&lt;/b&gt; special strength build custom for us we get it in large sheets every thickness can be available with the highest strength and the largest variety in the nation Environmentally friendly 100% recyclable and extremely light material we cut it any way we want and we build the &lt;b&gt;HexaPack®&lt;/b&gt;  or The &lt;b&gt;HexaCrate®&lt;/b&gt;  in any size needed} new way of packaging High value items from Artwork to Medical equipments to High Value  Electronics like Servers and Medical Laser and always the feedback was 100% positive and we kept offering the product to customers at very small margin and sometimes nothing just to get them to give a chance and try it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So we went to one of our suppliers yes supplier not a customer CDS Dolly and Moving Supplies and offered the  product so they can sell it to Moving companies instead of Crating plasma TVs and Glass table tops in wood, at 1st they got skeptical but after 2 attempts with 100% guarantee that we will take any product back and there is no minimum just try it just offer it to movers and we told them about all the successful stories and even I had to jump up on the box and show them how strong it is they finally decided to give a try and they placed the 1st Order not even $1,000.00, I was talking with the Vice president and I told him that he is going to get bombarded with orders he said we look forward to get some orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next day CDS faxed and send information to all their customers about the *HexaPack*® &lt;br /&gt;
and within 48 hours the had orders for about $20,000.00 ( Remember they adopted only 4 sizes) so the vice president called me up and said Talal I need your help I got everybody here in my office asking me where is the product? is that all what you ordered? well of course we went to work almost 24/7 to keep up with their orders and it has been great now they are averaging 30k to 40k per month in the slow time, we are selling the &lt;b&gt;HexaPack®&lt;/b&gt;  as far as Chicago and Miami Florida from Art Galleries to Museums to manufacturers and even doing custom orders for all kind of electronics now we have over 120 sizes as stock and custom can be done in any size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Customers like Roll Bio-tech Medical Equipments they use only &lt;b&gt;Hexapack®&lt;/b&gt;  and they ship high end value medical equipments all over the world from Europe to South Pacific and with 1000's of shipments they have No Damage what so ever not a single damage and the saving just on the weight alone is huge for them if they cut the weight for international shipment in 50 lb that is about $500.00 saving just here, and the difference in crating there is at least 50% less cost, No wood no Custom problem with different countries and it is saving the Environment and going Green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we are offering every day new sizes new ideas www.sannahpkg.com or you can search the word Hexapack on google and there is a video on you tube that show how we took &lt;b&gt;Hexapack®&lt;/b&gt;  Box including the liner the weight was only 9lb and we took a full pallet of steel strapping  that weighs 1457LB and set it on the top of the Empty *Hexapack*® &lt;br /&gt;
and it held like wood no problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilQ1UZ3-1o0&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biggest project we did was for Disneyland they were looking for a way to package the new Artwork for the Lion King Movie  8 foot High x 12 feet Long $135,000.00 value in a container without using wood they want to move it from a Mall to Mall, and they had us shipped to New Jersey to start there and we are in Anaheim, Ca. their comment about the product &lt;b&gt;Hexapack®&lt;/b&gt;  "this is Genies".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My Thoughts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I believe every small business has something unique to offer weather it is a coffee shop or a manufacturer the questions are:&lt;br /&gt;
Do we really want to survive this correction? and if so Are we willing to put the effort?Have we been creative enough to come up with new ideas new products?&lt;br /&gt;
To be Farmers Not Hunters, Maintain what we got and plant more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last But not Least&lt;br /&gt;
English is my 2nd Language and I came to this country in 1985 and started from zero working for $3.35 per hour at Winchell's Donut house in Denver Colorado even my background is Civil Engineer grew up in a wealthy family and I speak 2 languages beside the English and we me and my wife my brother my son and my sister in law  did everything ourselves with the dream to come to  this country and makes it in the Land of opportunity yes this is The Land of opportunity (if anybody doubts that they need to travel).&lt;br /&gt;
Now I have Family: wife Rima 20 years married 2 kids Moe is 17 years and Jenna 3&lt;br /&gt;
years girl  she is the trouble maker (just like Mom) ooopppsss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I can do this just Imagine what all of you can do, I will right more stories, there are many out there I am sure you will like to hear them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God Bless America&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
Hi. My name is Lisa and I'm a stay at home mom to two wonderful children, ages 2 and 6. They keep me busy, but I love every minute of it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had searched for a work at home opportunity for two years. This had proven very difficult to find, as most advertisements I'd come across were scams! That was until I found this team and company!  Now, I work from home with a company that manufactures products that we're already buying elsewhere, but they are better, safer &amp;#38; healthier. I help set up customer accounts and the company pays me to do so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are looking for a legit work at home opportunity, please let our Work At Home United Team assist you! My goal is to help others just like myself find what they are looking for! You will never know unless you ask! Get all the details to make the best and most educated decision for YOUR family!&lt;br /&gt;
