The Sociology of Human Behavior - External Influences on Perception of Others

This evening I decided that I would try a small experiment to test the theory that we all tend to "judge" others based on appearnace and come to some conclusions about the way that person is from those perceptions.

For the past 6 months I have been network marketing and have had a rather conservative picture on my Facebook profile. Tonight I changed that to a photo that was of me 3 years ago when I had my Wiccan shop running full time. The Witches Haven in Cedar City Utah.

I was not so surprised to see what the result was. The immediate result was that I received comments of shock.....one even saying.......WOW! Others were less "shocked" and ranged from a thumbs up to "I didn't have any clue". This is not a negative thing and my theory was not to show negativity versus positive resulting reactions but to see raw reaction.....period.

I placed a status statement shortly after placing the picture on my profile that stated, "I changed my profile picture here to make a point. Whether you call your clergy Bishop, Father, Rabbi, or High Priest,etc.............never judge by the cover as we are peaceful and only wish to assist our fellow man."

I am happy to state that while my theory was proven that we all make judgments or we tend to have pre-conceived ideas of one another we also have the intelligence to think about these ideas and notions and make informed decisions about our final judgment.

I hope that we all will take the time to think about how we are judging others based on appearances only and that we will stop and think about all of the reasoning and conditions that played into the way they appear. I may have looked like a "hippy" to some. A "satanic" person to others.........neither of which would have been any where near accurate.

This article will be appearing in a post on my blog and by the time this is posted the picture on my FB profile will have been changed back. I neglected to mention that apparently it did have the affect that people were no longer friend requesting me and some chose to leave and that was also expected. I have left it on my blog as it portrays who I truly am.....away from the politics.....and out of the "lime light" as it were.

May we all be cautious about the way we are treating one another because of the language we may speak, the clothing we may wear, the creed we may hold ourselves to, and just treat one another with the respect that deep down we all deserve. In the end nothing else matters but the fact that we are all here on earth and we are all human and have feelings, emotions and frailties.

Until next time take care of yourselves and each other. Brightest blessings. )0(

Tattoo Designs (Nathan Jeffery)

From The Desk Of Dean Cameron:
For more than 20 years of my life I have been obsessed with tattoo designs. And in all those years I have journeyed to literally hundreds of tattoo parlors all around the world collecting designs from local tattoo artists. I have gathered thousands of the most insane and unique tattoo designs by some of the most talented artists from all over the world.
The idea of sharing all these rare tattoos with the world didn't occur to me until I started surfing around the internet and realized that there were no decent tattoo websites that had anything near the quality that I had collected over the years. No wonder people have such a hard time choosing a tattoo design they are happy with!
I knew there had to be a better way...
So for many months I buried myself in a project to arrange my huge tattoo collection into a categorized directory. You will find tattoos of everything you can imagine, even the most fussy of my customers have discovered their perfect tattoo in my collection. Not only that but each tattoo design can be saved or printed and given to your favourite tattooist who will then give you the tattoo of your dreams.

Equal Justice Under Law.............REALLY?

Today I am going to be talking about the statement in the title of course. "Equal Justice Under Law". For years we, as Americans, have thought that we all had equal protection under the law while knowing in our hearts that this was a false reality.
We watched the O.J. trials and the Michael Jackson trials and were held in awe at the results.
So why is that? Well this doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that there are those that HAVE and those that HAVE NOT. Those that HAVE are able to hire attorney's.....not just run of the mill legal counsel, but high priced and very well versed seasoned attorney's.
I recall watching as my ex-mother in law went into court for a DUI and seeing the prosecuting attorney and her public pretender, I mean public defender, out in the hall making a "deal". When they returned to the court room a deal had been reached and she was pled guilty and sentenced within minutes......at no time prior was she ever consulted.
So many have asked when I have told this story, "why didn't she fire him?" Or "why didn't she stand and demand that the plea be entered for not guilty?"
She was not guilty by the way.........the simple fact is the same reason so many other good people have been convicted for offenses that they didn't commit. She didn't KNOW what her rights were and she could not AFFORD to consult with a reputable and ethical attorney.
Sound familiar? Yes, I thought so too! What it really comes down to is justice for some. Many good people are taken into court and convicted simply due to ignorance of the law. That is not a valid defense according to the US Supreme Court.
So what is the solution? Ok. Here is the plug for my business and you will be as impressed as I was and see why I will NEVER BE WITHOUT MY MEMBERSHIP!
I became involved with this company 15 years ago for the first time and although I got into the business and then jumped out, I have maintained membership and always will.

Tattoo's - Beauty or ????????

I had a friend approach me and ask me, Nathan, I know you have tattoos. What do you think of them. To this I replied that if they are correctly done they are great. Now with that said I continued to pass along to him that this is permanent and this should be carefully thought out and a design chosen that will reflect his personality and that he can live with forever.
You will see some words that are highlighted in here. These 3 sites are sites that I recommend that will have multiple patterns for y'all to choose from and these are well worth the investment.
I used patterns similar to these when I had my last one done and I was extremely pleased with the results.
Now let's get back to the discussion of beauty or???? My view is that tattoos can compliment the human body. There are arguments for both sides and they generally take a religious view when there is an argument against them.
I will not comment on that as I don't believe it is a "sin" to get them tastefully done on YOUR body.
Personally, I think if they become too gaudy or look "rough" then it really does detract and people that look like that tend to catch a label. However, labels are not as mainstream as they used to be. (biker,convict,etc.)
My last piece of advice for you is this.............get tattoos where they can be covered up. If you get them where they are ALWAYS visible then you run the risk of affecting your current job or future employment should you try to get another job. Both of mine are where they can be easily covered and are only visible when I where short sleeves and tank tops.
If I can be of any help to you please just let me know and I will gladly give you my opinion. I hope you will continue to tune in and read what I write here. I am always open to hear comments and suggestions.

Porn Blocker (Nathan Jeffery)

My friends, I recently purchased this software for my computer when MacAfee and Norton were unable to block all of the pornographic material that was coming to my computer through the internet.
I am amazed at the quality and effectiveness of this product and just wanted to share it with you. I hope you will take a look and find this as useful and effective as I did.
I am a parent and this stops this garbage from being seen by my son. It has, in my opinion, more than covered the cost of the software.
From the Creator of My Porn Blocker:
"I am so confident you'll absolutely love my patented MyPornBlocker™ Software and find it's ease of use to
over-exceed your every expectation... that I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and let you try this award winnng, patented software for 60 days risk free.
If, at any time within your 60 day trial period, you find any unsolicited pornographic material on any computer my software is installed on ... I want you to let me know immediately and I will instantly refund every penny of your purchase price.
In addition, if you don't find MyPornBlocker™ to easily install and configure within 5 minutes... I've let you down and for that reason I want you to request a refund.
I've put 2 full years of my life into creating this software and I won't let you down. I personally use it to protect my family... and you can rest assured it will protect your family as well."
Martin Brendal-Creator of MyPornBlocker™
I believe whole heartedly in this product and I am always concerned for the safety of children everywhere. May your children NEVER have to see this garbage an may they never be solicited online as so many have already been.

Dealing With Law Enforcement (Nathan Jeffery)

After having been in law enforcement, and currently serving as a correctional officer, I came to realize that there was a need for people to be educated on how to behave when confronted by law enforcement.
This is completely my opinion and does not reflect what your legal counsel might advise you to do if you have legal counsel.
When stopped do not do any of the following for your safety and the safety of the officer involved.
1: Do not get out of the car or run-you will get caught or "spook" the officer and it could end with injuries or worse to one or both of you. AND additional charges for you.
2: Comply with the officers orders-the majority of officers in the field behave in an ethical manner and will not violate the rights that they know you are entitled to.
3: Make no SUDDEN movements
4: Keep your hands in view AT ALL TIMES.
5: Wait for the officer to tell you what he/she wants you to get or do. And then comply. If it is unlawful then that can be sorted out in court.
6: DO NOT argue. You will not win and it may just get you into more trouble than if you complied.
7: Present any identification like your drivers license, insurance information, registration, legal shield card, and other identifying information in a respectful and courteous manner.
8: If you have something that you shouldn't don't lie about it if they will find it anyway (consult legal counsel as this can lead to legal issues) Silence does not equal lying!!!
9: If you possess a concealed weapon permit follow your local jurisdictions laws and as a general rule keep both hands on the steering wheel or in plain view and indicate that you are armed and have a permit and the location of the weapon. Follow orders AS GIVEN without resistance of any kind!
10: Behave in the way that you would expect him/her to behave with you. The majority of officers just want to do their job and go home safe to their families at the end of the shift. The majority are not "out to get you" or "messing with you for the fun of it".
11: Thank them for their concern and service. They do a very thankless job and hearing they are appreciated will go a long way in how the situation will end. Be genuine. They may very well save your life or that of a family or friend one day.

Identity Theft Awareness

Under the federal Identity Theft Act, a criminal offense is committed if a
person knowingly transfers or uses, without lawful authority, a means of
identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or
abet, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law, or
that constitutes a felony under any applicable State or local law The
relevant section of this legislation is codified at 18 U.S.C. §
1028(a)(7)(fraud and related activity in connection with identification
documents and information). According to an analysis of the new law by
the United States Sentencing Commission:3
• Before passage of the 1998 act, the unauthorized use or transfer of identity
documents was illegal under title 18 of the U.S. Code, section 1028—which
included subsections (a)(1) through (a)(6). The unauthorized use of credit cards, personal identification numbers, automated teller machine codes,
and other electronic access devices was illegal under another section of
the U.S. Code—that is, 18 U.S.C. § 1029 (fraud and related activity in
connection with access devices).
• The addition of subsection (a)(7) to section 1028 expanded the definition
of means of identification to include such information as SSN and other
government identification numbers, dates of birth, and unique biometric
data (e.g., fingerprints), as well as electronic access devices and routing
codes used in the financial and telecommunications sectors.
• Under the Identity Theft Act, the new definition of means of identification
includes prior statutory definitions of identification documents.
According to the United States Sentencing Commission, a key impact is to
make the proscriptions of the new identity theft law applicable to a wide
range of offense conduct, which can be independently prosecuted under
numerous existing statutes. That is, any unauthorized use of means of
identification can now be charged either as a violation of the new law or in
conjunction with other federal statutes.

Network Marketing Thieves

This is NOT my story. You have heard that before. I relay this story to you as an example of what can, and does, happen every day in our online society. Be Careful!
I had my first experience with online stealing yesterday morning. I received an email in my inbox thanking me for my purchase at a gaming community. I get a lot of bogus emails of that sort, and I checked with each person in my family, plus we dont gamble (it was for poker chips) so I wasnt too worried about it and deleted it, but just to be sure I went to my paypal account to see if it was true.
You guessed it, I had two withdrawals, one for $150, one for $50 and they were approved. I couldnt believe it. If this has never happened to you before, its hard to explain the feeling you have of being violated. My paypal is directly connected to my bank account, so they were getting into my personal life!
I immediately called my bank and alerted them and then I called paypal and they assured me that they would make sure everything was straightened out and made right.
Needless to say, I went to every website I use and changed my passwords.
I dont understand how or why these things happen, but its a very real thing and it could happen to anyone. If paypal is not secure, what is?
A friend of mine had a credit card charge recently that was the same type of thing. Another friend of mine had a facebook scam where emails were sent to her friends (as if they were her) and asking for money. And the night before my paypal incident someone else I know had the exact same charges from the exact same gaming community taken from their paypal account.
So friends, be very careful and take the following steps
1.do not use the same password everywhere and change it regularly, write it on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place
2.when you get an email regarding an online account or your personal information, NEVER click on the link. Close that window and open up a new window and go to the website that you know (for example, I did not click on any links in the confirmation email, I went to what I know is the paypal address.) These thieves can make the website look exactly like the one they are impersonating you wont be able to tell the difference.
3.call your bank, your credit card, etc and verify the incident with them. Use the number on your bank statement or your credit card, not a number in an email or on a website
I hope I can save at least one person from having their money stolen. I know how precious it is in this economy!

To your continued success,
Nathan Jeffery

Spyware and Malware (Security Tool)

Security Tool is a malicious rogue antispyware application that makes use of false system messages in order to try and obtain your money. Security Tool will make use of many different deceptive methods in order to try to get you to buy the full version. You need to know that this is all one big scam and you shouldn't fall for any of it. Security Tool was created by the same group of malicious online hackers who created similar fake applications, such as System Security as well as Total Security 2009.Security Tool may gain access to your system with the use of certain Trojans as well as malicious websites.

Security Tool may go by the following names:
• SecurityTool
• Security.Tool

Security Tool may display some of the following symptoms:
• Your computer may become increasingly slow.
• You may get lots of system security notifications.
• Lots of annoying pop ups may haunt you.
• You may notice a fake scan which looks real.
• The possibilities are high that you will be asked to buy the full version.
• You will get fake scan result reports.

Security Tool will gain access to your machine, without your consent or knowledge. Once Security Tool has gained access to your computer, it is able to install itself onto your system. It may then make sure that it is activated each time you boot up your computer. You may see a fake scan that will look exactly like a real computer system scan. You will then receive scan report results, it is very important to know that these results are completely fake. When you are terrified, after being told that you have all types of threats on your machine, you will be given the opportunity to buy the full version for a small fee. This may promise to remove all your computer problems, but it again just a part of a fake scam.

Once you suspect that you may have Security Tool running on your computer, you need to remove it immediately. You have the option of the manual or the automatic removal process. It is imperative to be aware of the factor that the manual removal process is actually extremely hard to do and you run the risk of seriously damaging your computer, if you do something incorrectly. It is highly suggested to rather make use of the automatic removal method, where an antispyware removal product can do all the work for you. Security Tool needs to get driven away as soon as it gets anywhere near your computer!

The Power Of The List-Nathan Jeffery

Do you lead a tribe?
Suppose for a moment you think of your customers or website visitors as a tribe. Perhaps youre the CEO of a Fortune 500 company how do you care for your tribe (customers)? Maybe you own a corner grocery store - do you take your
customers for granted?
Suppose you have a website or blog your visitors are your tribe how do you care for them? Do you care more about finding new customers/visitors than properly caring for those you already lead?
. Whether youre the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or a blogger working to gain readers the power is in the list!
For too long, I have watched organizations destroy their tribe while naively wasting money to replace them.

Be Who You Are-Not What Others Expect

I have to express myself on this subject. Many of you have seen me on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and, of course, here on my blog. Many of you have viewed my videos and I have received comments ranging from "Bravo" to "Unprofessional". Of course those that are being critical are the one's that send their comments to my inbox.
So why do I feel it important to dedicate a post to this subject? Because I am training people not only in network marketing, but also in the area of "self worth" and "self esteem".
During my years in network marketing I have seen the "hype" and the faux, which means fake, in French.....fake cars and fake homes and fake cash and virtually every variant of those ploys used to suck people in and get them to buy either into a company or into a product. That is not business in my book......THAT IS FRAUD!!!
And they do this to their "friends". I do not do business that way because I have a firm conscience and I want people to like me and trust me and know that I am worthy of both of those!
I am who I am and I make no apologies to anyone for that. In my training videos you will see that I am funny when I need to be and serious as well from time to time. That is the genuine me. You will not see fancy suits and cars and houses. You have all seen enough of that to last a lifetime, as have I.
I liken it to a saying from the movie Lethal Weapon in which it is stated by Actor Joe Pesci, "they screw you at the drive through".
Marketing is the drive through in this case and that saying should not have to be associated with the industry of network marketing if we are acting in an ethical manner.
Like me, love me, or hate me........I am irrefutably one thing, ALWAYS ME!BE YOURSELF AND NOT WHAT OTHERS EXPECT YOU TO BE!!!!!!! Please feel free to leave me your thoughts below in my comments section and get in contact with me if you would like. Join my blogs followers and receive updates as they are posted. Now back to making my next video....Nathan Jeffery on the Power of the List.

How Not To Fail (MLM Business Opportunity)

http://blastofftojustice.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-not-to-fail-mlm-business.html
You are surfing the web and you see another ad telling you how to make a ton of money over night, Join Now. So what do you do? You join that business in the hopes that all that money they said was going to fall in to your lap overnight does! So you try it for a week or two and nothing happens. You end up feeling like you have been scammed and the company sucks! So whos to blame? Is the ad lying? Is the company a fake and maybe no one really told you what you where getting into?
For what every reason it could be, dont feel bad you are the majority! Now its time to turn this around. Its time for you to find a online job that will work for you. Its time to find out what it takes to have a online business. Its time to move out of the majority, and into the Top 5%!
1. Avoid Scams
I know this one is hard to believe, but there are people online trying to rip you off! So you have to be really smart with your credit card. When you find a business you like, do your research on it. Google it, Youtube it, Wikipedia it, dont stop researching it until you have a good felling about it! Dont be afraid to ask people you know about it.
2. Get On The Phone
I know in my business I put my phone number on all my WebPages and e-mails. If someone wants to call me they can at anytime. Anyone who is a good leader, with a good company, will be doing the same. If you cant get on the phone with someone, dont join that company!
3. Its Never That Easy
Im sorry to break this to you, unless you win the lottery you are not going to make a million dollars over night! It takes work to make money and if ads are telling you different, just move on to the next one!
4. Your Mindset
Do you really want your own business? I know you want to make more money, everyone wants to. But you must be in the right mind set of owning your own business. Its a lot of work and the only way it is going to work is if you make it. I think out of all the tips this might be the one that holds everyone back.
5. Find A Leader
If you are joining a business look for a good leader to help you out. In most MLM companies you work with a sponsor and that sponsor is your mentor/teacher. Its really simple, if your teacher sucks how are they going to help you! Get on the phone before you join and really ask them question see if they can help you out! Go check out there Blog, Facebook, and Twitter pages. Make sure they are a good fit for you!
6. Dont Be Pressured
When you are out there looking for that one good opportunity, that one online job that is perfect for you and your lifestyle, dont let people push you into it to fast. If you are talking on the phone to them, and they keep trying to pressure you into joining their business, you dont have to do it right then and there. If you need a couple days to think about it tell them. If they keep trying to push then just push back and be strong. Take those days because you dont want to end up with something that just wasnt right for you.
7. Focus
Focus on one company and only one company! Im not talking about putting your job or your day-to-day life on hold. Im talking about once you have committed to a business, dont be clicking on ads telling you about the best new thing. The best new thing is the same thing you where looking at last week. If you keep jumping company to company you will never get off the ground.
8. Give It Time
You must give your business time to grow. If you think it is all going to come together in a week you are going to be disappointed. Give your business a few months and really give it a solid chance.
9. Hold Yourself Accountable
Its your business and only your business. Its up to you to make it work. If you want to only work at if for 30 minutes a week then thats the results you will get. If you put 10 hours a week into you will have more results. At the end of the week you answer to yourself and no one else!!! http://blastofftojustice.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-not-to-fail-mlm-business.html
