Arsenal Back On Track While Atletico (publishing) Chokes

Premier League football was back this weekend and despite the international break, it was a case of deja vu for pretty much all the teams. Hull City continued its wonderful start to the season both home and away to notch up another win against West Ham while Manchester United and Chelsea imposed their dominance in ruthless fashion with thrashings against West Bromwich and Middlesbrough respectively. Arsenal’s poor form also looked like continuing for yet another week until a wonderful second half assured a come from behind victory at home against Everton.

Hull has been the revelation of this season, bringing back memories of Wigan’s sensational start to the season about 3 seasons ago. Just when you thought that the international break would end their form, they won comfortably against West Ham and are starting to look like not getting relegated at the end of the season. I know it’s too early to make such a prediction but one would be foolish to count against them.

The 4 big teams also had wins on the weekend, 2 of them in thrashings and the other 2 in tight and tense affairs. The thrashings handed out by Chelsea and Manchester United emphasises the gulf between the big clubs and the rest in domestic leagues in Europe. I discussed this point and the need to find a remedy to the problem a couple of months back. The fact that Chelsea won this easily with so many first team players out through injury shows the devastating effect of this great financial divide.

Arsenal and Liverpool both had their work cut out as both had to come back from behind to win their respective games. Arsenal looked to be continuing their poor run of form with a very lacklustre and forgettable first half where Everton looked the more composed and confident team on the pitch. A better team would have punished Arsenal with more than a solitary goal in the first half.

In the second half however, the real Arsenal turned up to play, and spurred on by Nasri’s great long range goal, ran out comfortable winners by 3 goals to 1. Liverpool were also forced to play catch up after conceding a early goal in the first half. After 80 minutes, Wigan were 2 goals to 1 ahead and looked likely to snatch victory until Liverpool conjured up 2 goals in the final 10 minutes of the game to take home the points and stay in touch with the leaders.

Meanwhile in Spain, the Madrid derby was the big fixture of the weekend and it didn’t disappoint. There’s a saying that “it’s only over when it’s over”, and this couldn’t be truer for Atletico Madrid. Seemingly destined to fall 1-0 at home to their fierce rivals, Atletico’s Simao scored a goal to bring them level. This sent the home fans into rupture as it seemed that would escape with a draw.

However, the action did not end there. At the other end of the pitch, in the final minute of injury time, Real Madrid got a penalty which was converted by Higuain. The home fans went home devastated, the away fans went home rejoicing. This is the beauty of football where anything can happen in the blink of an eye. It’s for moments like this that millions of fans live and breathe football every day of their lives.

Why Network Marketing Is Not For You
By Lou Casali

Are you adamant that network marketing is bad at any cost?

Please stop reading. This page is not for you!

Do you say yes to any one of the below?

– I have enough money and I do not need anything more in my life.

– I do not have enough time now and I don’t think I can make any.

– I cannot sell, selling is a sin.

– I am scared that people will think I am desperate for sales every time I talk to them.

– A regular paying job is more than enough for me. I need nothing more.

– I do not have enough money for the distributor kit. What if the kit becomes unusable? What if I cannot sell even one kit?

– I think network marketing is brain washing.

If you did say Yes to any of the above, network marketing is not for you either. You need not even take the basic interest to know what makes a good network marketer.

Perhaps, if you liked the product you can show your generosity by just purchasing a few products from the network marketer friend of yours and forget getting a distributorship.

Well, I listened to the warm up talks of an up line and I got the kit. I am serious about getting to be a good network marketer.

When I initially did sign up for MLM I had several views. My perception of MLM and my current views of MLM were more or less like the ones below:

– I can become rich by simply purchasing a distributor kit and creating a few down lines.

– I knew nothing about sales; I managed to create a few down lines from my friends and relatives somehow. Now, I think it is enough and they will do the work for me.

– I am not ready to make sales after a certain point; I want money coming to me from my down lines.

– I have worked hard in network marketing for quite sometime and I will stop now. In a few years from now, I will automatically become rich because I will be getting sales commission from my down lines.

– I have done enough, I am not selling or recruiting anymore, as the number of distributors in my down line increase I would make money automatically and I can sleep at home.

Whatever the case, if you have had one of these thoughts when you registered to be a network marketer, or if you still continue to have them be sure this is not your cup of tea. You need to learn the answer to the following questions if you are looking to improve at all or if you are willing to really perform you need to learn the answer to the following questions:

– Who makes the right fit for network marketing?

– Are people still surviving on network marketing?

– Are they not scared of it?

– Are they wasting their money getting expensive kits and scaring friends with sales pitch?

– How are they selling?

– Do they sell to friends!

I see people working for years in network marketing.they are good enough, but how do they do it. Thats the question for another article.

Huge iPhone Data Bills If You Cancel Your International Plan
By Thana

One iPhone Atlas reader writes:

After receiving a huge international data roaming bill for my iPhone account even though I had added a sufficiently large International Data Roaming Plan before my trip I was informed by an AT&T service rep that AT&T had charged me the exorbitant per KB rate for international data usage because I had cancelled my International Data Roaming plan after I returned to the United States.

The plan is available on a month-to-month basis, so canceling it when I got home seemed like an obvious thing for me to have done, since I have no plans to go overseas again in the foreseeable future. But the service rep said that AT&Ts policy (unwritten, so far as I can tell) is that one needs to leave the roaming plan in place for 90 extra days, so that it is still in place when the foreign carrier finally reports the subscribers roaming back to AT&T. If the plan is not in place when the foreign data usage gets reported to AT&T, then AT&Ts billing system which was fully capable of charging me for the International Data Roaming service when it was in place is incapable of recognizing that I had an international data roaming plan in place on the dates that the foreign carrier says I used its data connection

AT&Ts 100MB iPhone plan costs an additional monthly fee of $119.99, while the 200MB plan runs an additional $199.99 a month. During the plans rollout, AT&T stated that both could be added or dropped from users existing plans at any time, without penalty.
