you're very welcome, tfs..
when i found that i had the same reaction.. i felt like i was supposed to pay for it or something - but it's free and available for all, and it's worked well for me so far.
note: i changed a few things on mine, though.. the "rights/ownership" part is a little unfair to some clients. I changed it to read that I own all preliminary concepts and works in progress - and as soon as the proposal has been fulfilled - the client is granted full rights/ownership.
but maybe you're okay as is.

Try applying to Aquent or The Creative Group. When work on the street slows down, they always have work lined up for me. Plus you make tons of contacts and meet lots of cool people. The contract suggestions I've read in this post so far are all pretty valid, def. get 50% up front and make sure you have the rights to portfolio usage and whatnot. I've yet to work for a client that said no to me using their projects in my book. Good luck.
