No flame or fire

The first step is to open up the box. Inside your E Mist kit, you will find:
  • 2x batteries
  • 1x atomizer
  • 1x wall charger
  • 1x USB charger and
  • 5x cartridges in Menthol or regular tobacco flavor (your choice)
Initial Use
  • When taking a puff on the E Mist device, please make sure you are talking LONG SLOW puffs. Do not puff on the E Mist device like a traditional cigarette
  • For optimal performance, it is recommended that you fully charge the batteries before using E Mist
  • You will notice that one of the batteries and the atomizer are pre-assembled along with an empty cartridge to protect the atomizer in shipping. Simply replace the empty cartridge with a full one by placing it firmly onto the atomizer. To make sure the cartridge is secure, twist it slightly.
  • There is no on or off switch. When using E Mist, the red LED light at the tip glows like a real cigarette to let you know its working.
Charging
  • The batteries can be charged using a standard wall outlet, or computer with USB port.
  • To charge using a wall outlet, simply plug the wall charger into the outlet and connect the opposite end to the bottom of the charger. When the LED light on the charger is green, the battery is fully charged. The LED light will remain red while the battery is charging
  • To charge using the enclosed USB charger, unplug the USB cord from the wall plug and connect one end of the cable to the charger and the other to the USB port. When the LED light on the charger is green, the battery is fully charged. The LED light will remain red while the battery is charging
Replacing Batteries 
Each battery should provide approximately 1 day worth of full-flavored enjoyment
  • When the battery is depleted, the red LED at the end of the battery will blink 30 times intermittently.
  • To replace the empty battery, secure the cartridge in one hand and unscrew the battery from the atomizer.
  • Grab the fresh battery and reattach it to the atomizer. When you're finished, recharge the empty battery by screwing it back into the receptor.
  • Remember to unscrew a newly charged battery from the receptor when the light goes out.
Note: During use, the red LED light will flash 10 times to warn you that you are overusing your E Mist and you should take a break. This does not affect performance and does not mean you should recharge.

Replacing Cartridge
How it WorksOn average, each individual cartridge supplies enough nicotine and premium flavoring to accommodate approximately 80 - 100 puffs. When the cartridge no longer produces vapor, you'll know it's time for a replacement.
  • To replace the cartridge, hold the battery with one hand and pull off the empty one.
  • Check the atomizer for any residue and gently brush it aside using your fingers.
  • Firmly apply a full cartridge to the atomizer, twist it slightly to make sure it is secure.

Australian Websites Directory

Let me introduce you to my new Australian websites directory, no matter what you are looking for you will find! Whether it be video games or pets. We host a comprehensive listing to all local products and services. First off however, I would like to tell you a little more about why a website directory makes finding these products and services more convenient for you the user and you the advertiser.

The best Australian Web Sites

Unlike search engine such as Google and Yahoo, website directories are human edited. In other words they are not edited and categorize based on a system of complex electronic algorithms. They are edited by human hand and this makes them more human friendly. 
 Australian Sites Top List
A site for products and services which come into a search listing with Google, has been searched electronically, but the products and services we list have been collated according to the experience, other people have had with them, and they are more localized.

Submit your url - Free Australian Directory

For example, you may be living in Western Australia and be searching for green friendly building supplies. Your Google search will bring up millions of entries. No user wants to read the listing past the first few pages, because it is time consuming. Whereas if you make use of a more specific search. The information you are searching for is more accessible.

It is also very important for advertisers to make use of website directories which are specifically designed for a certain target market. A company for Australia launching a website into the internet is essentially launching it into cyberspace and hoping for the best. But their site may float around in cyber space for ages before it is picked up by a major search engine, and even then the chance that it will be ranked highly are slim.

High ranking is essential to get the site onto those all important first few listing pages which many potential customers never look further than. To get the very best response for your website, you need it to be put into direct contact with the target audience. Currently the internet has more than 80 million registered sites and domain names.

It is vital for any business to have a web presence, but it is also, very easy to get lost in the melee. Listing on a website directory with more specific search parameters is therefore very important.

By the same token, more localized consumers who are searching for services and products will be able to find these in my Australian website directory. While it can be considered to be somewhat like a telephone book or yellow pages service, it is so much more. Theses directories are updated once a year, ours is updated on an ongoing basis.

Products and services are categorized, then sub-categorized, making it simple to find much more specific information for the user. The fact that we operated the site with a human hand, makes it simple for advertisers to use it as a forum to offer special promotions and discounts an also simpler for consumers to make use of theses, during the period they are valid. It is all about convenience really, and we live in a convenience driven world.

US Fidelis quits paying refunds

US Fidelis, the beleaguered Wentzville-based seller of extended auto service contracts, has stopped paying refunds to consumers who cancel such protection plans, according to executives at two companies that administer the contracts.

The change means tens of thousands of consumers could find it much more difficult to get hundreds of dollars in refunds that are supposed to be guaranteed in Missouri, Illinois and most other states.

US Fidelis spokesman Ken Fields, of the Fleishman-Hillard public relations firm, would not say whether the company has stopped contributing to cancellation refunds. When consumers want to cancel coverage, US Fidelis "will work with the customer and the relevant administration company to address that customer's situation," according to a company statement.

If regulators force those administration companies to cover US Fidelis' portion of the refunds, the consequences would be "unprecedented" and could threaten to bring down some of those firms, said Paul Stratch, chief financial officer of American Auto Shield, a service contract administrator based in the Denver area that did business with US Fidelis.


Extended service contracts are canceled for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, consumers are unhappy with the coverage. Other times, the plans are dropped because the vehicle is about to be sold, gets repossessed or is simply no longer usable.

When that happens, consumers get one check for the unused portion of the coverage. But that payment usually comes from two different companies that had made money on the sale of the contract. Most comes from the contract's marketer — companies like US Fidelis that sell the coverage — and the rest comes from the service contract administrator, which pays out claims.

Stratch said US Fidelis recently told his company that it would no longer contribute to customer refunds and that it would refer canceling customers to administration firms like American Auto Shield, which was formerly known as Warranty America.

Service contract marketers have failed in the past, and when they have, administration firms have often picked up the full cost of cancellation refunds. But US Fidelis' inability to pay refunds is different from those cases, Stratch said, because there never has been a service contract seller as big as US Fidelis. "Nobody else came close to their kind of volume," he said.

In its heyday, US Fidelis employed more than 1,100 people and claimed to be the nation's leading seller of the auto service contracts, which were often marketed as "extended warranties."

But over the last two years, the company has suffered a stunning collapse.

Watchdog groups have said US Fidelis sells coverage that is virtually useless for many of its customers. Automakers accused the company of misusing their trademarks; class-action lawsuits have been filed, claiming deceptive trade practices. And an investigation of the company continues, involving 43 states.

Late last year, US Fidelis laid off several hundred workers before announcing it would no longer sell the contracts. The company said it would keep a skeleton crew at its sprawling call center, at Interstate 70 and Highway 40, to provide customer service to the approximately 300,000 vehicle owners who had bought coverage from the firm.

Those consumers bought service contracts that typically range in price from $2,000 to $4,000 — depending on the age of the vehicle and the level of coverage. The contract's cost usually is financed over 18 to 24 months, but the coverage period often lasts four years or more.

That means many customers canceling a contract are entitled to a pro-rated refund for the unused part of the service contract. Customers who have driven only half the maximum miles over half of the calendar life of the protection, for instance, are entitled to a refund of half the cost of the contract.

Stratch said American Auto Shield will pay both its share of refunds and US Fidelis' portion. He said his firm won't take a big financial hit because US Fidelis sold fewer than 1,000 service contracts from American Auto Shield.

"But this is going to be a huge liability for other companies," Stratch said. "They could try not to pay (US Fidelis' portion), but the states are going to make sure customers get their refunds one way or another."

Tim Schuur, president of Houston-based Tier One Warranty Services, said US Fidelis also told his company it would stop paying into customer refunds.

Schuur said that his company would continue to pay its portion of refunds owed to canceling US Fidelis consumers but that Tier One alone shouldn't have to cover US Fidelis' obligations to canceling customers.

"The lender needs to get involved," he said. "Mepco needs to get involved."

That's Chicago-based Mepco Finance Corp., a subsidiary of Independent Bank, of Ionia, Mich., that financed most of the auto service contracts sold by US Fidelis. It's also the company's biggest creditor, and last month it became US Fidelis' landlord.

Executives at Mepco did not respond to a request for comment.

Travis Ford, a spokesman for the Missouri Department of Insurance, said consumers who cancel their service contracts and can't get the pro-rated refund owed to them should file complaints with the agency.

WSOP Circuit Tournaments

Event #1 -- No Limit Hold'Em

A total of 303 players helped kick off the first event held at the Council Bluffs casino, helping to create a pool of $88,173.

Then Wesley Grondhovd picked up the cash in 7th when his all-in with pocket 6's were met with the pocket 10's of Thomas Applegate which held to the river. Then Eric Grave decided to go to the center with pocket 3's and lost when Patitz paired his Ace card on the flop, resulting in a 6th place finish for Grave. In his first WSOP Circuit tournament, Joe Shanks finished in 5th when his opponent made a set of 6's on the turn.

IrinaMitrovici-Viral Marketing Campaigns Drive Targeted Traffic

Viral marketing is a great way to use the power and nature of the Internet to reach a large number of people quickly and drive a continually growing flood of targeted web traffic to your website. With a successful viral marketing campaign, your website traffic could go from almost nothing to thousands of hits or even hundreds of thousands of hits per day almost overnight.

Viral marketing is a term used for marketing campaigns that grow and spread like a human or computer virus. In a successful viral campaign, people pass the marketing material on socially so that the marketing campaign grows like a snowball rolling down hill.

The basic idea of viral marketing is that you can increase your sales by increasing your targeted website traffic and you can increase your targeted web traffic by giving away or spreading something for free that people will pass on to their friends, family, or business associates like a virus.

Viral campaigns may spread through emails or eBooks that people pass on or through articles or viral videos that people pass on.

Microsoft's Hotmail service was probably one of the biggest early successes of viral marketing. Free web-based email is common today, but it was a new concept in 1996 when Microsoft first promoted Hotmail by adding a short advertising teaser at the end of its users' email messages. Who would have ever expected how big the results of this marketing campaign could be?

But as huge as the success of Microsoft's viral marketing campaign was for Hotmail, it only set the stage for what was to come during the 2004 American presidential campaign. Who can forget JibJab's flash animation political parody of George Bush and John Kerry singing, "This Land Is Your Land?"

By marrying the concept of flash video on the Web to viral marketing, JibJab took the Internet by storm. According to Internet statistician ComScore Media Metrix, the viral video received over 10.4 million unique hits in July 2004 - more than three times as many visitors as the official campaign websites of the two presidential candidates!

Now you may never experience the phenomenal success that JibJab did with one of your viral marketing campaigns, but the concept is simple and easily implemented. It works on the idea that if people like something or can profit from something, they will pass it on to their friends, family, and associates.

Viral marketing can be as simple as writing an article and having it published in article directories where newsletter publishers and webmasters may pick it up and republish it. Be sure to include an author bio or resource box at the bottom of every article that includes your name, your website link, and a call to action that entices people to click on your link. Webmasters and publishers are always looking for great content, so be sure to provide value.

Alternatively, you could send a funny, informative, or controversial newsletter to your subscriber list. Be sure to encourage people to pass your newsletter on with a short note at the bottom of your newsletter.

When people click through to your website, you would like to capture their email address and get their permission to contact them. Otherwise, they will often surf away, never to be seen again on your website.

Squeeze pages (pages primarily designed to get subscribers) are one proven way to do this, and offering people a free eBook or free report is a great way to get people to subscribe to your newsletter.

Want to kick your viral marketing campaign into even higher gear? Grant people the rights to give away the free eBook or report to their own customers or contacts. Be sure to brand the eBook or report with links to your website, so that anyone who receives it from others will find their way back to your website. Also, if you let your customers rebrand some of the links with their affiliate links or other links, they will really be motivated to pass the eBook or report on!

The Internet is perfect for viral marketing. This is one of the most powerful marketing techniques you can use on the Internet. Because many distribution channels are free (e.g., email and article directories) or relatively low cost (web hosting), viral marketing can be an incredibly cost-effective marketing technique. Once you have launched your marketing campaign, it can potentially grow and spread for years all by itself, making viral marketing possibly the most effective Internet marketing technique of all.
