A free source for grants. You will have to sign up for an account, but it costs nothing.

Linux.org (Pasted on February 19, 2010 by Kenneth J. Nelan)
This is a site that can help you decide which free version of linux you should download. At the very least it will help guide you though the initial concepts of this totally free, and much more stable operating system. (Did I mention free operating system? No more having to chose between 15 different versions or having to pay a couple hundred dollars. But if you think about switching, you must read all you can. Linux is NOT like Windows. It’s better!!!)

Follow the link to the magazine section, then student, then click the offer. You will be plesantly surprized.

Natural Healers (Posted on March 02, 2009 by Kenneth J Nelan.)
Yet even more massage industry trends.

OpenOffice.Org (Posted on February 03, 2009 by Kenneth J Nelan.)
This is perhaps one of the greatest free (did I mention free) Office productivity software of all time. It will read, write, open, save, just about any format out there today. All you have to do is download it and install. Free!!!!! Not only will you save a couple hundred dollars by NOT buying the Microsoft equivelent, but you will be able to open virtually any document type AND even open and save Microsoft Office formats.
It comes with a writer, spreadsheet, database, presentation (powerpoint) and even a drawing program. It’s definitely worth checking out

React OS (Posted on February 03, 2009 by Kenneth J Nelan.)
This is the completely compatible with everything Micro$oft, completely newly written, Windows XP LIKE operating system. It is NOT Windows, but will have the look, feel and compatibility with Windows programs. (and it will install in a virtual machine without a problem.) It is still in the Beta stages, but well worth watching over the long term until it’s finally into production.

Information about Reiki from the National Institute of Health’s National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine.

Source Forge (Posted on February 19, 2010 by Kenneth J. Nelan)
The Source Forge is a wonderful repository for everything open source (or free). It can be difficult to find things, but well worth it when you find that one program that can save you hundreds of dollars.

Ubuntu Linux Homepage (Posted on February 03, 2009 by Kenneth J Nelan.)
This is a great operating system that works much like Windows. I personally use it at home for my desktop. Let’s not forget though that it’s a free operating system!!!!

Vista Print (Posted on February 19, 2009 by Kenneth J Nelan.)
Does have a section for free stuff. Click on the free items to get yours! Don’t forget to get the free car magnets!!!! There have been minor issues with their shipping and good luck getting ahold of their service department, but other than that, get all the free stuff you can!

OMG!!! Free online productivity suite (similar to Microsoft’s Office suite).

Zotero (Posted on February 19, 2009 by Kenneth J Nelan.)
I was wrong with my initial assessment. Zotero will only work with Firefox Web Browser (which is also free). Zotero is a wonderful addition to Firefox Web Browser which will help with APA citation style.

CAUTION!!!!
