When Its Cold Outside - Its Chili

By Donna Hager Actually, I love chili anytime of the year, but during cold weather it is especially good, or as the novelist Margaret Cousins said, "Chili is not so much food as it is a state of mind. Addictions to it are formed early in life and the victims never recover. On cold, blue days in October, I get this passionate yearning for a bowl of chili, and I nearly lose my mind." There are probably thousands of different chili recipes and I enjoy making and eating a variety of chili recipes. For me, it is a great food adventure. And although I may have my personal favorites, such as my version of a traditional chili, I really don't get too excited if someone else has his favorite that is much different than mine. Some people like it spicy and hot and some prefer it mildly spiced. Some cooks use ground beef while others insist that the beef should be chopped. There are chili recipes that use chicken, turkey, pork, venison or other rather exotic meats. Some chili recipes use beer or meat stocks as part or all of the cooking liquid. There are many vegetarian versions of chili as well. The use of vegetable stock and/or tomatoes eliminates the need for meat. What kinds of beans, if any, should be in a chili? Here, too, you'll find a vast range of preferences. Pinto beans, red beans, kidney beans, black beans or white beans - there are recipes that use each or them or even a combination of several, such as the Three Bean Enchilada Recipe on the website. But you should also know that there were no beans in chili originally! What kind of chile peppers or chili seasoning should be used and how much? With this the great chili debate really heats up - so to speak. ( Chile refers to the pepper pod. Chili to the creation. ) And the great chili debate is not limited to what chili or chili recipe is best. Some people are so passionate about where the first bowl was made and who made it that they nearly come to blows. In America, chili is something many people love to cook and eat, and some love to argue about. My Texas friends will undoubtedly defend their chili as the best ( and maybe the only true chili) in the world. In his book, "Simple Cooking," John Thorpe wrote, "It can only truly be Texas red if it walks the thin line just this side of indigestibility: Damning the mouth that eats it and defying the stomach to digest it, the ingredients are hardly willing to lie in the same pot together." What is amazing to me, however, is that even among residents of Texas there is disagreement as to the single best chili recipe. That has helped keep "chili cookoffs" alive and well, not only in Texas, but in a number of areas throughout the country. I have never desired to be a chili judge. If their life isn't in jeopardy, their digestive systems may be. When my husband once thought about accepting an invitation to judge such a contest I told him he'd sleep outside that night if he did. He declined the invitation to be a judge, thank goodness. Is there such a thing as "the original Texas chili?" The history of chili is very unclear about this. There is a recipe that is at least traceable to a cattle range cook, or perhaps it was from the combined offerings of several old cowboys straddled up to a Texas bar. Nobody will swear that this is the first true Texas chili recipe, but most say it seems pretty close. Notice ...no beans. Chili con Carne Recipe
An "Original" Chili Recipe
Cut up as much meat as you think you will need (any kind will do, but beef is probably best) in pieces about the size of a pecan
Put it in a pot, along with some suet (fat) enough so as the meat won't stick to the sides of the pot
Cook it with about the same amount of wild onions, garlic, oregano, and chiles as you have got meat
Put in some salt
Stir it from time to time and cook it until the meat is as tender as you think it's going to get Some chili recipes today are rather "tame" or mild because that is the way some people like it. But the history of chili is pretty clear that there never was anything really mild about chili and there was a very good reason. Think about it. Even if chili did not originate in Texas, the cattle drives and range cooks certainly helped popularize it. On the trail, the cook used what meat he had available. If if wasn't fresh-killed beef or buffalo or deer then it was likely jackrabbit or rattlesnake. The range cook certainly feared his own lynching if he tried to feed the cow hands freshly killed beef or buffalo without aging the meat. Out of necessity he had to attempt to disguise the meat's flavor and for this he used what he had on hand: onions, garlic, salt and chile peppers. The range cook also knew that spices helped keep the meat from spoiling. Chili became the meal of the day. And the term "Chili con Carne" is Spanish for "peppers and meat." (See, no beans.) Some food experts and historians say that San Antonio should be given credit for popularizing chili because it was there that women called "Chili Queens" occupied parts of the Military Plaza and sold their highly seasoned stews called "chili" from small carts. Although these ladies sold chili from carts for many years, it became very popular by 1880. In fact the plaza became known as "La Plaza del Chile con Carne." And it was then that the "Queens" began to refine and add sophistication to the dish they were selling. They brought it somewhere near todays stage because each one was constantly striving to improve her chili recipe, simply to attract more customers than any of the competition. The desire to cook up the best bowl of chili in the world is at least that old. Apparently chili cookoffs were born. Here is an example of a Chili Queen's recipe: (Again, no beans)
Chili Queen's Recipe
Original San Antonio Chili Ingredients:
2 pounds beef shoulder, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 pound pork shoulder, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 cup suet (fat from meat, 1/4 cup beef fat, 1/4 cup pork fat)
3 medium-sized onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 quart water
4 ancho chiles
1 serrano chile
6 dried red chiles
1 tablespoon comino seeds, freshly ground (cumin)
2 tablespoons Mexican oregano
Salt to taste Instructions:
Place lightly floured beef and pork cubes in the pork and beef fat in a heavy chili pot and cook quickly, stirring often.
Add onions and garlic and cook until they are tender and limp
Add water to mixture and simmer slowly while preparing chiles
Remove stems and seeds from chiles and chop very finely
Grind chiles in molcajete and add oregano with salt to mixture
Simmer another 2 hours
Remove fat pieces and skim off some fat
Never cook frijoles with chiles and meat
Serve as separate dish.
(Institute of Texan Cultures) So where was chili invented? Again the history of chili simply indicates there may not be an answer. We know that peppers and spices have existed since the beginning of time. Chile peppers show up in the ancient foods of China, India, Indonesia, Italy, the Caribbean, France, and the Arab states. The green chile pepper was brought to what is now New Mexico in 1598. And strangely enough, Canary Islanders who came to San Antonio as early as 1723 used local peppers, wild onions, garlic, and other spices to cook pungent meat dishes somewhat like the ones they prepared in their native land. But it is reasonably clear how chili was popularized. The credit must go to the cattle trail cooks and certainly to the Chili Queens of San Antonio. As a food, how important is chili to certain parts of American life and culture? The famous mountain man, Kit Carson, thought of chili when he supposedly uttered his dying words: "Wish I had time for just one more bowl of chili." Will we ever be able to crown one single recipe as the best? I don't believe so, and that's fine with me. I think everyone has great fun trying to do so. The history of chili and its development makes me believe the great chili debate is destined to continue forever. Donna Hager has owned and operated an American-style restaurant for over two decades.

Wind Chimes You Can Live With

By Jim Spolerich Not all wind chimes are created equal and selecting the proper wind chime is important for the long term sanity of you, your family, and your guests. A quality wind chime will have a precise musical pitch and the chime elements will harmonize with one another. This will create a soothing effect on the listener. A chime that is not properly tuned will create a dissonance that will be a long term irritation to those forced to listen to it. Tuning problems are common with many of the cheap imports from China. Many of these chimes are pretty to look at but the sound will likely drive you nuts in the long run. Another factor one must consider is the volume that will be produced by the chime when the wind blows. Generally, the larger the chime is the louder the chime will be. Many people prefer the quiet tinkle of a smaller chime and may not be able to tolerate the loud sounds generated by a larger chime. If you prefer a low volume chime you may want to select a smaller chime. There are many different types of wind chimes available on the market. Your selection will include chimes made from bamboo, aluminum, glass, pewter, steel, and other exotic materials such as sliced thunder eggs or obsidian. All of these materials can make a fine wind chime if the design and construction of the chime is done properly. Of the choices commonly available, chimes manufactured from aluminum or pewter are generally the best choice because these materials will not rust and keep their beauty for many years. Steel chimes tend to rust in a few years and bamboo chimes often will crack within a year when exposed to the elements. Glass chimes are fragile and will break relatively easily. American manufacturers tend to produce the finest chimes you will find. The most popular American manufacturers are Woodstock Percussion, Whispering Winds, Music of the Spheres, Spirit Winds, QMT, Gracenotes, and J. W. Stannard. Woodstock Percussion is the largest American manufacturer of wind chimes and offers a huge selection in many different styles and sizes. Most of their chimes are actually manufactured in China but under strict quality control guidelines from Woodstock. As a result, you can expect all Woodstock chimes to be top quality. Whispering Winds specializes in pewter chimes with themed designs. These chimes will not rust and come is a multitude of themes and sizes. The chime tubes are made of aluminum and the artsy portion of the chime is manufactured from pewter. These chimes are rugged and will withstand sever weather. The only drawback to this design is that it requires a significant amount of wind to make the chime perform at its best. Music of the Spheres specializes in thick walled aluminum chimes. These chime will resonate much longer than competing chimes of similar size and tend to be loud. Because these chimes are precisely tuned the loud volume is well tolerated by most people. In fact, many will purchase this chime specifically because it is loud. Music of the Spheres
manufactures some of the nicest sounding chimes you will find anywhere. These are truly beautiful chimes. Spirit Winds is probably the most important manufacture of bamboo chimes in America. Actually, the chimes are manufactured in Asia but the quality is strictly controlled by Spirit Winds in America. Spirit Winds offers a large variety of sizes and designs. Some chimes are all bamboo and some are composed of aluminum chime rods with remaining parts being bamboo. Initial quality is good for these chimes but the dark finish on the bamboo tends to bleach out within a year when the chime is left out in the rain. There is also a tendency for the bamboo to crack over time. None the less, if your choice for a chime is bamboo then Spirit Winds is an excellent choice. QMT manufactures several different lines of chimes such as Gentle Spirits, Bells of Vienna, Majesty Bells, Arias, and Weatherland. All of these lines have distinct design elements. That is to say, each design is different. Gentle Spirits are a thick walled aluminum chime with a beautiful finish of green, gold, or black. Majesty bells have a wooden windcatcher and top with aluminum tubes and look much like your classic wind chime. Weatherland and Arias chimes have a similar design using a wooden windcatcher and wood top. All chimes manufactured by QMT are top quality. J. W. Stannard produces chimes in a variety of sizes and styles. All their designs tend to have the classic wind chime look with wooden windchatcher and top and aluminum chime tubes. All Stannard chimes are precision tuned and produce excellent tone. The best chimes are tuned so that each chime tube will harmonize with the other chime tubes on the wind chime. If the tubes arent tuned properly the joy of the chime will soon be lost. Popular tunings are derived from Pentatonic, Gregorian and other melodic musical scales. Some chimes play the notes of a popular song such as Amazing Grace or the music of Bach. The key to a good sounding chime is that all chime tubes must harmonize with all other chime tubes on the chime. When purchasing your next wind chime keep in mind that your long term satisfaction will depend on the proper selection of chime size, tuning and chime material. Actually, its not at all complicated, just audition the chime in your favorite store. If it sounds good to you then the chime will, no doubt, be your friend for many years to come.

How to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Heather_Colman] Heather Colman Concerta, a brand name for the drug Methylphenidate, is an amphetamine-like prescription stimulant commonly used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD in children and adults. Other brand names include Ritalin, Ritalina, Metadate, Methylin and Rubifen. Concerta is also one of the primary drugs used to treat symptoms of traumatic brain injury and the daytime drowsiness symptoms of narcolepsy and chronic fatigue syndrome. This drug and was initially prescribed as a treatment for depression, chronic fatigue, and narcolepsy, among other ailments. Beginning in the 1960s, it was used to treat children with ADHD, known at the time as hyperactivity or minimal brain dysfunction. Today Concerta is a popular medication prescribed to treat ADHD around the world. According to most estimates, more than 75 percent of prescriptions containing Methylphenidate are written for children. Boys being about four times as likely to take Concerta as girls. Concerta is a central nervous system stimulant. It has a "calming" effect on many children who have ADHD, reducing impulsive behavior and the tendency to "act out", and helps them concentrate on schoolwork and other tasks. Adults who have ADHD often find that Concerta increases their ability to focus on tasks and organize their lives. Concerta has been found to have a lower incidence of side-effects compared to dextroamphetamine, a less commonly prescribed medication. When prescribed at the correct dosage, Concerta is usually well-tolerated by patients. Some consider the treatment of children with stimulant medication to be controversial since the number of children taking them has increased dramatically over the years. However, criticism that Concerta and other brand name drugs that contain methylphenidate are over prescribed may be unfounded. The incidence of ADHD is believed to be between three and five percent of the population, while the number of children in America taking Concerta and Ritalin is estimated at one to two percent. Some have argued that prescription of stimulant medications sets children up for future addictions. However, recent research suggests that boys with ADHD who are treated with stimulants like Concerta are actually less likely to abuse drugs including alcohol later in life. As long-term use of Concerta and other drugs that contain methylphenidate was relatively uncommon before the 1990s. The long-term neurological effects were not well researched. In a 2005 study, no "clinically significant" effects on growth, vital signs, tics, or laboratory tests including urinalysis, hematology/complete blood counts, electrolytes, and liver function tests were observed after 2 years of treatment. Disclaimer: The information presented here should not be interpreted as medical advice. Please seek professional medical advice regarding the use of Concerta or any other medication containing Methylphenidate. [Copyright 2007, Heather Colman.

Oil Painting Tips - All About Oil Painting Brushes

By Ralph Serpe Oil painting brushes come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and this can sometimes overwhelm a beginner. This article will provide you with an overview of the various oil painting brushes available and help you decide what kind of brushes you should invest in. BRUSH TEXTURES Oil painting brushes come in two different textures basically, and they are classified as hard and soft. Hard brushes are generally referred to as bristle brushes and they are quite resilient. Hard brushes are made from hog's hair and they are strong and stiff. They will hold a good amount of paint and can handle the oil painting medium quite well. I personally prefer working with bristle brushes exclusively as I tend to paint rather rough and direct. Soft oil painting brushes are made from softer hairs that come from animals like sable, squirrel, or mongoose. Softer brushes will generally give your painting a softer smoother appearance and are more often used for finishing or detailed work. Sable brushes are the most expensive usually but there are synthetic brushes made of nylon that are very good substitutes for sable. They are more resilient and cheaper than sable.

BRUSH SHAPES There are five shapes to brushes that are generally used and each is meant to have its own function. I prefer to paint with flats, brights and fliberts of various sizes, and only occasionally make use of the other shapes. This is my preference and you will certainly develop your own the longer you paint with oils. Flats Flat oil painting brushes have a wide square end with medium to long hairs. Flat brushes generally have a lot of spring to them and can hold a lot of paint. You can use these brushes for broad sweeping strokes or you can turn the brush on its edge to create fine lines. Flat brushes are great for earlier stages of a painting when you are blocking in large areas. Brights Bright oil painting brushes are similar in shape to flat brushes but the hairs are shorter. They are best used for making shorter controlled strokes. They do not hold nearly as much paint as a flat brush. Filbert The filbert is also similar to the flat brush only the edge of the brush comes to a rounded shape. The hairs of the filbert are medium to long in length. This rounded shape will give you more control then a bright. The filbert is great for blending and figurative work. Rounds A round oil painting brush has a round or pointed tip. They hold a nice amount of paint and are great for making thin or thick lines. Use this brush for dabbing on dots or blotches of color. Round brushes are also good for washes, fills and detailed work. They are not suited for creating hard straight edges. Fans The fan oil painting brush is a flat fan shaped brush. The fan brush is a specialized brush. It is either used very often by the artist or not at all. It really depends on your style of painting. This brush is not suited for holding paint. It is used more often for blending colors and you should keep this brush clean and dry if you plan to do a lot of blending during a session. The brush will begin to lose its effectiveness when it becomes filled with paint. You may want to keep a few extras on hand. BRUSH SIZE Oil painting brushes come in a variety of sizes indicated by numbers as in 1,2,4,6,8,10; size 1 being the smallest and 10 the largest in this example. BRUSH MANUFACTURERS Oil painting brushes are made by a number of different manufacturers. A few of the more popular brands are Winsor & Newton, Silver Brush and Robert Simmons. Some artists prefer one brand over another. Other artists like to have an assortment of different brands available. The only way you will know what you like best is by working with the brushes yourself. CARING FOR YOUR BRUSHES No matter what brush you buy, whether they are top of the line expensive brushes, or cheaper ones, you will definitely get more life out of them if you care for them properly. There seems to be a difference of opinion when it comes to brush care, especially when it comes to drying your brushes. I personally have two products on hand for cleaning and conditioning my brushes: Masters Brush Cleaner and Preserver and Mona Lisa Pink Brush Soap. I have found that the Masters Brush Cleaner works great on brushes that are deeply stained and hardened with paint, that I would have otherwise thrown out. I use the Mona Lisa Pink Brush Soap to clean my brushes right after a painting session. These cleaners will also help condition your brushes. After washing my brushes with either of these cleaners, I then attach a clothes pin to the handle of the brush and rest the clothes pin on the edge of a counter or table so that the brush is hanging with the bristles pointing toward the floor. Gravity then pulls the moisture from the brush so that it does not collect in the ferrule, which can damage a brush over time. � For more free oil painting lessons visit: http://www.creativespotlite.com/oil-painting.htm today!

LASIK Malpractice

By Kevin Stith LASIK, pronounced LAY-sik, is actually an acronym for LAser in SItu Keratomileusis. It is a type of refractive surgery procedure in which the cornea of the eye is reshaped to alter its optical ability. This is being done to correct myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia, LASIK malpractice occurs when the surgeon does not perform the procedure right and results to a damage in the eye or both eyes of the patient. Complications during the surgery can lead to patient complaining of LASIK malpractice. In refractive surgery, there are a few complications the surgeon should anticipate and explain to the patient. Awareness of these complications can help the patient make an informed decision if he wants to continue the procedure or not. Such complications range from problems that are quite negligible to bothersome, the worst case scenario being losing an eye. But since the procedures of refractive surgery are always being refined over and over again, the occurrence of the worst case scenario has actually decreased to almost being nonexistent. However, even small problems continue to disturb some unfortunate patients. One complication of refractive surgery or LASIK is regarding the formation of cataract in the crystalline lens of the eye. They make the lens so foggy that light can no longer pass through to reach the cornea, thus making you temporarily blind. While a cataract can be cured by performing lens implant, this requires additional eye surgery which means having additional risks of infection and damage. Another complication of LASIK is involved in the correction of high amounts of myopia (the scarring of the central cornea) where the laser in the surgery is focused. This scarring serves as a filter of the light passing through the central cornea and, due to the formation of clouds and haze, vision is reduced. The glare and halos that patients usually complain about are also caused by this light diffusion. Finally, the epithelial growth into the cornea stroma is another serious complication of LASIK, producing significant vision problems. This happens when the epithelium lining the front of the cornea begins to develop into the stroma area and gradually invades it. These complications are what eye surgeons should prevent so that they will not be alleged for malpractice. Malpractice provides detailed information on Malpractice, Medical Malpractice, Medical Malpractice Attorney, Dental Malpractice and more. Malpractice is affiliated with Whistleblower Protection Acts.

Nutritional Homemade Carp Baits - Essential Effective Minerals

By Tim F. Richardson Using carp essential minerals in your homemade baits to hook more carp! The main minerals which have been detected in carp by scientific trials, the lack of which has been observed to cause signs of deficiency, are sodium chloride (sodium and chlorine,) phosphorus and calcium. Others include magnesium and zinc, but there are possibly other deficiencies in carp which have not been observed yet through scientific study; e.g.: manganese, selenium, potassium, cobalt sulphur, iodine, chromium, and fluorine. Many of these help repair and produce new cells, and repair damaged body tissues. Zinc helps in digestion, and magnesium has a role as an enzyme co-factor. Fish absorb calcium from the water around them. They are rarely deficient in this important skeleton forming mineral, but the rate at which it is retained in the body is set by another important mineral, phosphorus. Increasing phosphorus in the diet is beneficial, as it will increase calcium retention. In common carp, the total body ratio in the body is 4 to 1 of phosphorus to calcium. Absorption of dietary phosphorus is not affected by calcium in the diet. Fish meals are rich in both. Plant-origin meals lack in calcium, and are high in phosphorus, but not in a readily digested form; animal sources are better absorbed to counter any possible deficiency in these. Meat and bone meals have their benefits, for example from fish silage. Soya meal has an intermediate phosphorus availability of 40 %. The most commonly used phosphorus supplement in carp culture is dicalcium phosphate, with the highest level of availability of 80 %. It is used at levels not under 0.7 % of the dry meal. Potassium may be provided through the potassium chloride and oxide salts in treated ash or potash (potassium carbonate), as also supplied in agricultural pig, cattle and horse feeds. My friends and I have caught many big carp using animal feeds as the bulk nutritional provision in our baits! Iron is supplied in blood meals, shellfish and crustacean meals derived from oysters and shrimps, prawns and krill; copper in oysters, crabs, lobsters; potassium in mussels, scallops, clams; iodine, phosphorus and selenium in sea foods in general. * An especially mineral rich sweet carp attractor molasses: Black Strap Molasses from second boiled sugar cane, are an extremely underestimated, scientifically proven feeding trigger, also high in iron and magnesium. The unsulphured grade is the finest, and sweet tasting, with higher sugar content. Normal grade is the bitter tasting, but most nutritious, as used in health supplements, and also used as animal supplements, like horse feed liquid molasses; a very economical source. Sugar beet molasses are unpalatable, but high in calcium, potassium and chloride salts, worth mixing with cane molasses. The first treated grade is 50 % sugar. * An incredible carp attractor salt: One Japanese research paper stated that, in carp tests, in with various amino acids solutions and salt: sodium chloride gave The most extreme response. Interestingly, two of the amino acids tested were not essential amino acids to carp but the scientists obviously had a reason for testing them against salt! These were proline, and also taurine. (Incidentally, taurine in squid extracts, has played a big role in one or two international bait companies ongoing success!) * Mineral salts: These have an interesting role in helping the carps own digestive bacteria to break down food, which is another good reason to use them in bait. When carp eat plant material, like water weeds, much energy is lost, as gut bacterial enzymes do the work of breaking down the cellulose cell walls to produce sugars. I feel that additional molasses in the bait help here too. Molasses are used worldwide for industrial fermentation, as it is a highly nutritional food for bacterial activity in production of alcohols. Molasses are mainly sucrose, but is also highly attractive in bait as it fulfils the dietary requirements of iron, magnesium, and essential vitamins and other essential minerals and traces. Bakers and brewers yeasts are the highly nutritious active ingredients of fermentation. You can help bacteria to predigest your bait when using the aging or curing method in moderate heat, by adding high volumes of molasses to your bait mix. Note that salt is used as a preservative, like sugar, and is useful for dehydrating your bait to make it harder and last longer in the water with nuisance fish. This effect is especially helpful when using high levels of soluble milk protein and high-protein extract ingredients in boilies and, excellently, in using pastes as free baits! It is interesting that ammonium chloride is used in confectionary, for example in gelatin-based sweets, sweetened with liquorice and sugar, and given a less salty taste. An example is the Dutch Double salt liquorice buttons which also contains aniseed oil. These can make great alternative baits! Other examples are Jelly beans, Jelly Babies, Gummy pectin fruits, Liquorice Allsorts and Malted Milk Balls, etc. * Mineral rich sea salt: Apparently, the former common carp record holder, Tim Paisley, used sea salt in his baits. Sea salt is superior to table salt, because it still has other natural beneficial mineral salts. Of course, it makes a great taste enhancer too! So why put salt in your bait? * Sodium Chloride: Is essential for life! It was so important for humans, in some regions it used to be worth its weight in gold! It is extremely highly regulated in the body. It is divided, in roughly equal amounts, between the soft tissues and the bones. * Sodium: Makes up 93 % of the basic mineral elements in the blood serum, and importantly, regulates blood pH. Sufficient sodium is needed for efficient amino acid absorption in the intestine. Correct sodium concentrations allow the muscles to contract. Its also important in nerve impulse transmissions and heart rhythm. * Chlorine: Is also essential for life! Chlorine is the main anion in the blood; two thirds of the acidic ions are composed of it. Movement in and out of the cells is essential in maintaining the acid balance of the blood. And obviously, chloride is part of hydrochloric acid produced in the stomach, which is required for the digestion of most foods. Animals have a hardwired memory for salt detection and remembering its source. They have a definite appetite for it, more strongly than any other mineral. It is often used as a mineral delivery system for other, less palatable salts for animals. Salts play a part in fermentation, and this is very interesting to those thinking bait enhancement! I caught my first 30 pound common carp on a pig feed-based bait. This bait was extremely salty and granular. Im sure mineral salts made this such a great bait! * Bird foods: carp seem to favour many bird food type ingredients and extracts. Many are rich in vitamins and mineral salts. * Dried ground seaweeds: For example kelp. In the form of powders, granules, and meals these are excellent sources of minerals, and are especially high in iron, and provide important dietary fiber that assists peristalsis (the movement of digesting food along the gut). They are also strong taste enhancers! * Trace Elements: Other minerals been discovered to be required by carp, but in tiny amounts. Examples of these are phosphorous and potassium. The most common way to deliberately supplement your carp baits with trace elements, is by using a specialist mineral supplement mixture. Although a mineral might be in a commercial animal feed and so be put into a boilie base mix anyway, you can add a minerals and vitamins supplement to your bait, as part of an added attractor soak. Minerals and traces very attractive to carp, even in very small amounts and I have found, are best added to your bait as liquid dips and soaks so your hook bait is literally dripping with them as you cast out. There are so many more nutrients and ingredients you can leverage to achieve more 'bites' and land more big fish. Knowing as much as possible about all these edges, definitely converts into countless more big fish caught! The author has many more fishing and bait edges up his sleeve. Every single one can have a huge impact on catches.

The Dream of Almost All Little Girls

By Khieng Chho Most of the girls you know, for sure, have dreamt of becoming brides once when they were little girls. It is normal. Weddings have always been depicted through the television shows, movies and novels as a great event that hints of a happy-ever-after ending to a complicated story. What exactly are weddings? In the Bible, in the Old Testament, weddings have been mentioned in several occasions. Usually, weddings are related to festivities and celebrations. Throughout the written history of mankind, weddings are always referred to as sacred and solemn occasions. Weddings symbolize or takes the form of rituals or rites that make a woman a legal and bonafide ownership or possession of a man---her husband. The symbolic union between a man and a woman becomes it. Weddings are rites that make a couple a couple who are tasked to enjoy each others intimacy and have off springs. Weddings have been viewed that way for centuries. All cultures across the globe, in different eras of mankind, have their own traditions and norms for weddings. Thus, Jews have weddings, Hebrews also have, and so are Muslims. The idea of weddings are related to ancient perspective of territories. A woman, or wife, then, is considered a territory of her husband. No other man should attempt to touch or lay with the territory. Modern view Weddings have evolved through time. Westernization have played a significant contribution to the evolution of weddings, from simple, solemn and symbolic rites in the past, to complicated, festive and almost paganistic wedding practices currently practiced. Weddings are important social gathering in todays modern society that culture has set is own ethics to be practiced during such occasions---the one we now call wedding etiquettes. Wedding etiquettes are guides that dictate how people involved in weddings should act, from the bride and groom, to the entourage, to the numerous guests. Wedding preparations should also adhere to several wedding etiquettes. From the short listing of guests to the preparation of wedding invitations. Everything is covered by wedding etiquettes. For example, did you know that it would be a bad gesture if the soon-to-be-wed couple would not distribute wedding invites, but instead circulate e-mails or word of mouths? According to meticulous wedding etiquettes, the practice would leave a bad taste to the mouth, and therefore should be avoided. It would suggest that guests are not treated significantly by the hosts or the couple. Some other ethical wedding practices Did you know that it would be impolite or unethical if the couple would not send out thank you notes or card to the guests after the wedding? Moreover, the couple is also is more expected to send out thank you notes to guests who showed up with gifts during the wedding. The simple gesture would mean that the couple appreciated everyones presence in the wonderful moment. Thank you notes for gifts also mean that the couple not only appreciated the gift, but also the one who gave it, for the effort and sincere thoughtfulness. Weddings are special occasions They indeed are. That is why the couples families and the guests should share the pleasure in this wonderful and blissful moment. The union is very symbolic and interesting. Focusing on wedding etiquettes will be more interesting. You will find that a lot of civil beliefs and practices are imbibed and integrated into the simple, yet happy occasion.

Affordable Liposuction In The Philippines: Selecting A Qualified Plastic Surgeon

By Carlos Lasa, Jr. Medical travel is a popular option for patients who desire to have cosmetic surgery at more affordable costs. In the Philippines, lower overhead costs and professional fees make cosmetic plastic surgery very affordable and it is possible for Filipino plastic surgeons to charge a fraction of the cost of the same procedures in the United States, U.K. and other countries. Cost savings are significant for procedures such as liposuction or body sculpting. For example, the average cost for liposuction (one area) in the United States is $2500-4500. In the Philippines, the procedure can cost only $800. With these prices, its not surprising that more and more people from all over the world are traveling to the Philippines not only as tourists who come for sightseeing and shopping but also as patients who come for medical services such as cosmetic plastic surgery. In addition, affordable airfare and hotel rates are easy to find and the internet can be the quickest way to compare rates and find the best deals and specials. Patients can combine having a vacation in a beautiful tropical country with affordable, quality elective plastic surgery. The Philippines' medical services can rival the best in the world and there are qualified and well-trained doctors who have had formal training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, have acquired their postgraduate or fellowship training from well-known institutions in the U.S.A. and have been mentored by leading American plastic surgeons. They speak English fluently ensuring the good communication between surgeon and patient that is essential during consultation. However, since any licensed medical doctor can perform cosmetic surgery in the Philippines without legal impediment, choosing the right surgeon is essential for the patient considering having liposuction in the Philippines. Since many cosmetic surgeons have not completed advanced training in plastic surgery, it is important for patients to choose a qualified plastic surgeon with the training and experience that is essential for the success of the surgery. It is recommended that the patient choose a plastic surgeon who is duly certified by the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery, the only board recognized by the Philippine College of Surgeons to certify plastic surgeons in the Philippines. Although price is definitely a factor when considering elective surgery, patients seeking quality medical care at very affordable prices should know that choosing the right surgeon is the single most important decision they will make. When price is the primary factor for choosing a plastic surgeon, risks increase. The success of the surgery is largely dependent on the choice of surgeon and to ensure the best results, the surgeons professional qualifications and experience should be the main consideration. For more information about having affordable liposuction in the Philippines and choosing a qualified plastic surgeon, please visit www.cosmeticsurgeryphil.com. Dr. Carlos I. Lasa, Jr. is a Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon who specializes in Aesthetic/Cosmetic Surgery and Liposuction. The only Filipino plastic surgeon ever accepted for advanced fellowship training at the prestigious Institute of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A, he also trained at the University of the Philippines, & at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Ohio, USA. He is currently based in Metro Manila, Philippines, where he specializes in cosmetic plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction, rhinoplasty (noselift), breast augmentation, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhytidectomy (facelift), abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck) and more.

Are You Sure You Know Where You Are Stitching When You Sew?

By Marian Lewis Are you really sewing 5/8" seams or is it slightly more or
less? If you are following the markings on your sewing machine
throat plate, I hate to tell you, but they aren't 5/8", etc. The toes of your regular presser foot are not a good guide
for 1/4" seams either. Check them out and you will see that
they are generally more than 1/4". There is one exception to this that I know of and that is
the "little foot" that was made especially for quilters to
do 1/4" wide straight stitching only. Machines don't usually come with this foot. It is a
special order narrow toed foot. The markings on sewing machines are in centimeters. Why is
your machine marked in centimeters? Because they are not
manufactured in the United States. They are made overseas
and they use the metric system. Our sewing patterns and instructions are in inches. To have sewing success, we must stitch accurately. We need help to identify where the stitches should be. We cannot "eyeball" it and we shouldn't use the centimeter
markings if you are stitching in inches. I know that a lot of you believe you are stitching correctly
But, I would like you to double check to make sure. Here is a simple way to do that. Drop your needle down and measure out to the markings on
your sewing machine with an accurate tape measure. Close
is not the answer. Exact is. I highly recommend that you mark your machines so that you
have a clear guide to stitch accurately. I don't particularly like the metal bar type stitching guides as I feel they are too bulky. And, they are'nt really where I need them. I much prefer a flat piece of tape. I always have a tape stitching guide on my machine. You can use
any kind of tape you like for this. Some tapes already have ruled markings on them. Or, you can
mark your own. I cut a piece of tape about 2-1/2" long. The
width of the tape I use is about 3/4" wide. I place the top end of the tape straight out from the needle
with the long edge of the tape 1/2" away from the needle.
The tape extends down about 2" in front of the presser foot
but still 1/2" from the needle. Yes, I have to lift up the end of the tape to get into my
bobbin, but that's OK. I would rather stitch accurately and
save myself a lot of headaches later when things won't line
up. Then, I mark the tape at 5/8" for my seams. I make a mark
at 1" also since I use that often. Sometimes, I use a different color pen for each marking to
distinguish one from the other. The tape guide should be 2" in front of the presser foot so
that you can start guiding your fabric along your stitching
mark long before a stitch is made by the needle. By the time the fabric gets to the needle, it is too late.
You need to be guiding the fabric accurately long before it
reaches the needle. Watch the tape guide, not the needle! With a tape stitching guide, you will see a great
improvement in the accuracy of your stitching. Other Helpful Tips Usually, I use the "little foot" for 1/4" seams. When I need to sew 3/8" seams, I place tape or mark 3/8"
directly on my machine to stitch necklines and curved areas. Of course, I have previously trimmed the pattern to have
only a 3/8"' seam there. You will have much more control on curves if you use short
stitches and a 3/8" seam allowance at your neckline edges. Remember to prepare your patterns by trimming off 1/4" and
leaving 3/8" before you cut out your garment. Make a note
to yourself until you get into the habit of stitching
necklines at 3/8" instead of 5/8". I use the edge of the tape placed at 1/2" from the needle
for staystitching. If I'm making a 3" or 4" hem in something, I will mark the
bed of my machine to help me keep it straight. Do whatever it takes to help you. Don't be afraid to use tape stitching guides on your
machine to help you stitch accurately. It just makes sense! Marian Lewis is a sewing instructor and the creator of an amazing new fitting method for hard-to-fit sewing folks.

IT Marketing: Join Organizations

By Joshua Feinberg In IT marketing, personal referrals you're going to find are by far the most powerful way to get great prospects. Personal referrals are already in a lot of ways pre-sold and they already trust you. In the IT services business, unlike just selling a product, trust carries a tremendous amount of weight. In this article, you'll learn how to get more personal referrals for your IT marketing. IT Marketing: The Trust Factor People look for an IT consultant the same way if you were looking for a good dentist or a good internist or a good attorney or a good accountant. Yes, some people go to the Yellow Pages for that. Some people even look in coupon packs or billboards, but for the most part, especially when it's something that's really critical to your personal health or personal well-being or your business, personal word of mouth referrals carry a lot of weight. Become Well-Known in Your Community One of the best ways for you to tap into and reach these decision makers that own these companies is to raise your personal and your business profile in your local community within that target market. There are a couple ways that you can do that, but they do take a little bit of time. One strategy is networking. This is a huge thing that can make or break the success of any kind of solution provider firm - it's all about relationships. It's a people business. Anyone that tells you it's a tech business is dead wrong. It's about your interpersonal skills. It's about trust. IT Marketing: How To Get More Recommendations How do you get more personal recommendations? You have to know more people. How do you do that? Join organizations and attend events on a regular basis. That doesn't mean you have to go to every single breakfast, networking luncheon, business after-hours function under the sun, but if you join organizations and you go to a big part of those functions over the course of the year, you're going to get to know a lot of people. Over time you're going to get better at identifying the kinds of people who are better at leading you to opportunities. The Bottom Line on IT Marketing Personal referrals are great for your IT marketing efforts. To get more referrals, you need to know more people. So join organizations and attend regularly to show people you are trustworthy and get more referrals. Copyright MMI-MMVI, Small Business Computer Consulting .com.

Herbs to Cure Your Anxiety

By James Penn Think about you fear and then think of the unneeded anxieties that are caused by that fear. It is quite interesting how fear and anxiety play off of each other but yet that are complete opposites. Fear is the condition of being afraid. It is sparked by pain, impending dangers, evil, etc Anxiety is distress in the mind. It is nothing concrete, but more of a gut feeling. Fear keeps us safe and anxiety causes stress. Once you realize what anxieties are stemmed from your fear, it is then that you can find your strengths. Herbal remedies for anxiety are common, even today. Below are some of the best mixtures for easing all sorts of anxiety: Aspen, Mimulus, Red Chestnut, Elm, and Rock Rose are called Bach Flower Remedies. These remedies range from anxiety of the past (Mimulus), of the future (Aspen), overwhelming anxiety (Elm), anxiety about the safety of others (Red Chestnut), and anxiety that forms into pain (Rock Rose). These remedies are quite simple and very convenient. You can carry them with you wherever you go, taking 1-4 drops as the recommended dose and whenever you need it. Another, more common, remedy is roses. The smell of roses is known to calm people. Rose oils are often used in massages and effects of rose can last for a few weeks. The warm feeling of a dash of rose perfumes or fragrances could have you feeling anxiety-free all day. Everything tastes better with a little honey, wouldnt you agree? Oatstraw Infusions are no exception. This warm, mellow taste will put all your worries at ease. To make such an infusion, remember to leave out tea bags or any other sort of capsule. A more powerful remedy for those who are extremely nervous is a Green Oat Tincture. An ancient remedy for calming the nerves is to take a bath with Oatstraw or lemon. Youll be feeling better no time. Ever heard of the expression worrywart? When I think of the herb Motherwort, the stereotype of worrywart comes to mind. With virtually no sleepiness or any other side effects, you can take doses of 10-20 drops every ten minutes if its needed. Motherwort is not a tea, and its recommended to not take capsules either. It is a tincture and a favorite by many. After using this remedy daily, youll soon find you wont need it as often. Two good tranquilizers are Valerian and Skullcap. Both of these work fast and will, more than likely, put you into a nice sleep, free of worries. Because Valerian is so powerful, youll need to avoid addiction. Drink as a tea or make as a tincture and only use Valerian for three weeks. You can, though, use a 5 drop dose of Valerian every 10-15 minutes until you are feeling worry free. Skullcap tinctures are not as addictive and frankly, more effective. This remedy can be used with either fresh leaves (10-20 drops) or dried plant (1-2 drops).

Building Up Your Marriage with Healthy Communication

By Douglas Cowan, Psy.D. Would you like to have a stronger, healthier, more enjoyable marriage? I am sure that you would. And yet we live in a culture where about half of all marriages will shatter and end in a divorce, leaving behind the wreckage of broken adults and broken children.
If we are to build healthy marriages, we much do so "on purpose." We cannot just hope that it will happen by accident. "Hope," say the generals, "is not a good strategy." Planning, work, and the investment of time, are much better strategies for any important endeavor of life. The first characteristic of a healthy marriage for us to consider is the way that we talk to our spouse, and the way that we talk about our spouse..
Healthy marriages are characterized by supportive, encouraging, and honest communication. We want to build each other up in our marriages, never tear our spouse down (especially under the guise of being "honest"). Two thousand years ago St. Paul wrote this verse that is worthy of every refrigerator door in America,
"Don't let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up, according to what they need, so that you can benefit those who listen." (Paul's letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 4).
There are three important parts to Paul's verse. First, that if we don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all. I think my mother told me that as well. Second, that we should consider our listener's needs. My wife has a different set of needs than does my daughter, or my sons. We should consider how best to encourage and support that particular person. Finally, the purpose of our talking in the first place should be to benefit the listener.
When I first began to seriously apply Paul's principle, and I began to really look at what I was saying, and why I was saying it, my vocabulary and my time talking were cut by about one-third. I had become sarcastic, but funny. But my funny sarcasm was always at the expense of another. When I determined to build others up and benefit them with my speech, I talked a lot less. But I became a much better person, both inside and out.
Check your motives. If you just want to make yourself look good, you will tend to be sarcastic, and you will tend to "tease" other people by degrading them in front of others. The consequences of this will be that your friends will see your "teasing" as shameful, and your spouse and your children will grow distant from you. It may cost you your marriage.
If , on the other hand, your motives are to build up and encourage your spouse and children, then speak words of support, love, and praise to them. Your friends will view you as a loving person, and your spouse and children will always want to be near you. They will love to hear you talk, as your words will be "like honey" to them.
So choose well how you will use your words. You have the power to build up, or to tear down, just by the choices that you make. Douglas Cowan, Psy.D., is a family therapist who has been working with ADHD children and their families since 1986. He is the clinical director of the ADHD Information Library's family of seven web sites, including http://www.newideas.net, helping over 350,000 parents and teachers learn more about ADHD each year.

Adoption Agencies - Choosing The Best One!

By Michael Russell Adoption is a wonderful way to bring a child into a loving home, whether it is a home where a mother and father are having trouble conceiving, or a home that is ready to add to their existing brood. Whatever situation you find yourself in, if you are considering adoption, then the first step is choosing an adoption agency. While this might not seem that crucial, it is. Without a quality adoption agency with your best interests at heart, your journey to become adoptive parents can be paved with heartache and disappointment. One form of adoption agency that you want to avoid is those agencies that recruit birth mothers. These adoption agencies tend to be in the business for the bottom line, the money they will make from arranging an adoption. While they are not going to place children in compromising situations, for legal reasons, they are not considerably concerned about creating a loving family environment. If they get paid and operate within the law, they are happy. You can recognize these agencies if you know what to look for. One red flag is an agency that tends to recruit their birth mothers aggressively. They may advertise their facilities, as a place for women to stay that is luxurious and comfortable. The problem with this is that the women often feel that they owe the agency something for this comfort and do not feel free to change their mind after the birth about the adoption. Another red flag that you want to avoid when choosing your adoption agency is one that does not provide education and support for those families who have adopted. Again, this shows a lack of concern for the adoptive family. These poor companies will advertise adoption as being all positive. They ignore the negative emotional consequences that many birth mothers go through. While adoption is a beautiful event, there are many complicated emotional issues surrounding the process. A quality adoption agency will consider and educate about these concerns. You know you have found a good adoption agency if you find one that treats their birth mothers well. They will make sure that these women are completely aware of what they are doing in surrendering their children and completely educated them about their legal rights, including the time they have that they can change their mind. A good agency will be open from the beginning of the process about the intricate emotions and other aspects of the adoption process. Because of this, they do not pamper the birth mothers, but encourage them to support themselves. This helps them cope with the emotions they face when placing their children for adoption. The benefit of using a quality adoption agency is that the adoptions usually stick. Remember that women have a waiting period where a birth mother can choose to change her mind about the adoption. If the birth moms are not fully educated about the process of adoption, this leads to heartbreak for the adoptive parents, when the mom decides to change her mind at the last minute. Using a quality adoption agency will keep this fail rate low! Michael Russell

The Art of Fly Fishing

By Angel Estrella What is fly fishing? For most people, fishing is just fishing. Throw some bait on a line, toss it in the water and wait for a nibble, but for fly fishing enthusiasts, its so much more. An ancient angling method, fly fishing is a method that was initially developed primarily for catching trout and salmon. Currently, however, it is also used to catch pike, carp, bass and other species. Fly fishing uses an artificial fly as bait, which is tied to a hook with the use of thread, feathers, fur and other similar materials. The idea is to create an illusion that will match a natural vision of food to attract the fish. Fly rods, which are used for fly fishing, are light in weight, but long in their design. The lines, themselves, are somewhat heavy in order to provide the casting weight. The lines may be made to either float or sink and are typically matched to the fly rod according to the weight. The fly itself will be very lightweight and is attached to the line. So, what is the difference between fly fishing and regular fishing? Realistically, it is more than just the bait, right? Right. The main difference in fly fishing and regular casting is that with casting, you use the weight of the bait to throw out the line, while fly fishing uses a weightless bait and a weighted line that directs the actual placement. Fly fishing is commonly done in two different forms, which consists of either dry or wet. Dry flies are coated to sit atop the waters surface, while wet flies are placed beneath the waters surface in an attempt to lure fish. Fly fishing rods and accessories can be commonly found at any bait shop, retail stores fishing department or online specialty store. There are a number of online fly fishing experts that are happy to sell their recommended products. The internet may, in fact, hold the greatest selection of fly fishing gear as customers are granted access to a world of businesses and a haven of products to feed their fly fishing appetite. The art of fly fishing is best enjoyed in the company of friends. A quiet afternoon on the water, enjoying nature and competing for the greatest catch is all apart of the fun related to fly fishing. There are many areas that are accommodating to fly fishing, including the western United States and parts of Canada.

Research has shown that the Pineal Gland is most active at birth and death. It is the primary gateway for our earthly manifestation. When the Sahasrara Chakra is functioning healthily you experience direct perceptions about the oneness of all life. You move beyond duality into the space of ABSOLUTE UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS. Emotional stagnation or blockage at your Sahasrara Chakra emits an energy frequency that resonates with experiences of psychosis and potential for complete breakdown of mental faculties for organizing and perceiving material reality. Related physical imbalance, include: Pineal gland disorders, manic depressive states and psychosis. Since the Pineal gland orchestrates hormonal secretions, along with the Thalamus and the Pituitary gland, its balanced function influences the health of our entire endocrine system. Recite this Mantra six times aloud as you continue to focus your awareness at the Sahasrara Chakra. Remember to inhale and exhale fully as you recite the mantra. I Know, I Unify, I Am Silence Recite this same mantra silently six times within yourself as you continue to focus your awareness at the Sahasrara Chakra. Remember to inhale and exhale fully as you recite the mantra. I Know, I Unify, I Am Silence Sound the Seed Syllable OM (Keynote B in the C Major scale) and continue to focus your awareness at your Sahasrara Chakra for five minutes. Clear and Balance (4 minutes duration) by allowing images to naturally surface and melt away as blockages are cleared and balance restored in your Sahasrara Chakra. B TONE - OM ------------------------ Conclude (1 minute duration) your visualization and recitation of the Seed Syllable OM by seeing your Sahasrara Chakra as a clear and vibrant whirling ball of Shimmering WHITE VIOLET colored light pulsing with energy at this center. Remember to inhale and exhale fully as you visualize your Sahasrara Chakra being clear, vibrantly alive and healthy. Allow yourself to rest in this state of UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS for at least a few moments, or longer, before opening your eyes. Continue being in this state of Relaxed Awareness as you move through your day! MAY YOU BE WELL, MAY YOU BE HAPPY, MAY YOU BE FREE! This concludes my instructional Guide to Healing Your Rainbow Bridge ~ a Chakra Meditation to Clear, Balance and Charge your Seven Major Chakras. As you become adept at working with your chakras you may gradually increase the time you focus your attention on each energy center. Initially your focus should be for no more than five minutes duration.

Increased amplitude of your energy centers will greatly enhance your vital life force and positively impact your health and longevity.

When to Say I Love You - How to Know if It is Time to Say the Three Big Words

By Gerry Restrivera When to say I love you? Falling in love can be likened to a lot of different things, probably because falling for someone is a different experience for every person. Some people compare falling in love to getting hit between the eyeballs by a very large baseball bat. For others, love sneaks up on them like a small, furry pooch with very sharp teeth that slinks up behind them to bite them on the butt. Yet others compare it to various forces of nature that tend to start out slow but build momentum unstoppable until it pretty much crashes down on them like a tsunami. But still the big question is how and when to say I love you. Regardless of HOW you tend to fall in love, one of the most difficult things about it is undoubtedly trying to figure out WHEN to tell the girl you've fallen in love with the three simple words "I Love You". Its difficult to decide when to say I love you. This simple and seemingly harmless phrase carries with it a wealth of emotions, ranging from ecstatic hopefulness to abject terror. Here are a few tips to help you determine when you to say I love you to someone and NOT get your emotional tail kicked as a result. First things first: examine your feelings. Before saying anything, and to know when to say I love you, be sure you're in love with your prospective partner. Admittedly love can be construed a lot of ways, but generally we ALL want to find someone that we can spend the rest of our lives with. So first things first, are you just after a quick romp in the sack, or are you after something a bit more meaningful? If sex is all you're after, don't even bother talking about love. You can say the words, but when you say I love you without sincerity, they won't be honest and most girls are sharp enough to know bovine manure when they spot it. On the other hand, if you think that you can stand to wake up to your potential partner's face every morning, can put up with her little foibles and irritating habits without going berserk, and if you think that you'll wind up having this aching empty spot in your heart if you lose her for good, THEN you can tell her you love her with more sincerity. This is when you say I love you and you know it feels right and you mean it from the bottom of your heart. Now, aside from YOUR feelings, also examine her feelings. When you say I love you its not just your feelings that you have to consider. Granted this is much, much, much more difficult to do than to say. Girls are past masters at masking their emotions behind deadpan expressions and knowing looks. I'm sure you know the "looks" I'm talking about... but thankfully, there are at least a few simple indicators that you can rely on as clues to whether your feelings are one sided or mutual and hints when to say I love you. Laughter and smiles are one of the simplest clues. Make a girl laugh and she MIGHT like you. Another indicator is conversation. IF all your talks are one sided, you can usually forget about it. Big hint here: girls LOVE to talk. If your girl is clamming up, it means something is wrong somewhere. Smiles and conversation aside, a third indicator is time spent together. No girl would spend large amounts of time with you unless she enjoys your company. This MIGHT also mean that she regards you as a friend and not a potential hubby, but let's face it; the BEST marriages start out as friendships. Now, the final tip is probably going to be either the easiest thing in the world for you to do, or the toughest, depending on how you think. The question of WHEN to say I love you to her is a mind boggling experience for people who like to plan things out in advance. You see, love isn't logical, and trying to apply logic to it with things like planning a date with a perfect setting, romantic candles, etc., etc., etc., will often lead to a case of emotional hemorrhoids. Take my advice on this: if you love a girl, don't bother trying to think of WHEN you should tell her or when to say I love you. Keep it business as usual, go out, keep her company, and have fun. Then, in the middle of all that, you will know when to say I love you, there will come a point, when she will say or do one of those things that endear her to you so much, and you'll feel all warm and fuzzy but comfortable around her. Then at that point, just TELL her. The sheer spontaneity of it, combined with your heart most likely being in your eyes when you say I love you, will make a bigger impact on her than a planned scenario. Knowing when to say I love you is one thing but getting the girl of your dreams is another thing. Do you want to maximize your chances to get the girl you want? Discover the powerful, step-by-step secrets of how to meet, attract, and create a lasting and fulfilling relationship with the kind of person you've always wanted. Even if you're shy or don't think you are good looking.

Choosing the Right Auto Loan Online

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Lal_Krishna]Lal Krishna Buying a new car or a used car need not give you headaches anymore. Getting auto loans has become easy; you can now choose from online auto loan lending networks or get an auto loan from your car dealer. And there are many auto loan options available to choose from. The competition to provide auto loans has boiled down to better, and faster, deals for car loan borrowers. So if you apply for an auto loan today you can probably drive home in your dream machine by the evening! Choosing the correct auto loan requires some homework on your part - you should be willing to do some research. Not that it is difficult; you can easily do it on the Internet. First and foremost, you need to evaluate your credit status. You need to ascertain how much of a car loan you can afford. This is important before deciding on to the car to buy. Auto loans require monthly payments, so it should be an amount that fits into your monthly budget. Many auto loan sites have auto loan calculators which can give an idea as to how much your auto loan is going to cost you each month. Once you have worked this out, you can get ready to apply for your auto loan. Again, the Internet is a great help here. There are thousands of auto loan sites where you can apply for an auto loan online. Completing those forms is usually a breeze: just fill in a few fields and click on the 'Submit' button! Generally the online lenders offer interest rates 1-2 per cent lower than that offered by the auto dealers. That money saved can be used to bear the other costs associated with buying your car. Online auto loan forms ask for your basic banking details, your job status, and residence proof. Online applications are processed immediately by lenders in the network near to your place of residence. Approvals usually take less than an hour, and more important, on most sites this is a free service. Better still, an approval does not put any obligations on you about taking a loan from that lender. If you have a clean credit status and a co-signer, then consider your loan semi-approved! The good thing about auto loans is that you can get one even if you have a less than perfect credit history. Most auto loan lenders offer bad credit auto loans. However, some lenders may charge you higher interest rates and a larger down payment because of your bad credit status. Some lenders also restrict the choice of cars models if you have a bad credit status. Once the loan is approved, you will get loan offers from the lenders and you can choose the loan that you want. The main criteria for choosing an auto loan should be the rate of interest and the loan period. The loan period for an auto loan is usually three to five years. You can ask for a longer period on your auto loan, say, seven years. But it is always better to repay the loan within a shorter period; that will put a lower interest burden on you. You must also find out from the lender if they allow faster repayment of auto loans without penalty charges. If they do, you can opt to repay the loans faster a few months later (depending on your income) and save on the loan charges. Auto loans are available for new and used cars. Usually, the loan charges on used car loans are higher than that for new car loans. Research the various auto loan options available and always read the fine print of the loan agreement before you decide on your auto loan.

A Personal Loan Is There For You Whenever You Need It

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=V._Jain]V. Jain Personal loans are loans that can solve a number of purposes. They are not taken out for a specific reason unlike other loans that are obtained for a specific purpose such as home loans, car loans, home improvement loans, education loans, etc. You can use a personal loan for any of your miscellaneous needs. You can even use a personal loan to make daily purchases. However, you must avoid using personal loans to pay for daily expenses. You can obtain a personal loan whenever you need money. So many times, people need money urgently for a short period of time. Your friends and relatives might not be in a position to help you. Credit cards might not be helpful because of their credit limit and high rates of interest. Personal loans can be very helpful in these situations. A Personal Loan can be taken out to build a credit rating. Some lenders do not offer loans to those who do not have a credit rating. Once you take out a personal loan and repay it as per the loan terms, you will acquire a positive credit score. This will help you in getting loans in the future. A personal loan can also be used for debt consolidation. If you are finding it difficult to repay your existing loans, you can take out a personal loan to repay all your loans and consolidate your debt into a single, low rate loan. Personal loans are usually unsecured. However, some lenders offer [http://www.loans11.co.uk/secured-personal-loan.html ]Secured Personal Loans. Such a loan is given against a property. This is less risky for the lender since in case of non-repayment, he can repossess the property. Unsecured loans do not require a property as a security. The rates of interest on Secured Personal Loans are lower than the rates on unsecured personal loans. The rate of interest on a personal loan can be fixed or variable. The rate of interest and the amount of monthly payments remain the same throughout the loan period in case of fixed rate personal loans, whereas they keep on changing in case of variable rate personal loans.

Is Studying Abroad an Expensive Affair?

By Sapna Arora "Seeing ourselves as others see us-- and ultimately, perhaps, as we are-- is something not easy to do at home. Put another way, fish never know they are wet, because they lack the contrast of air. If you wish to share above thoughts, you have to persistently working for Scholarships and Financial Aid. Many students fail to pursue scholarships because they believe scholarship competition is so fierce that only the most exceptional students receive awards. The truth is you do not have to be a super student to win scholarships. Is studying abroad an expensive affair?
A myth surviving since a long time .But ironically, it may actually be cheaper to study abroad than it is our own country! Studying abroad need not be financially expensive. Attending a study abroad program is not necessarily anymore expensive than staying at your current university, and in some cases you may actually save money by studying abroad. You must be willing to spend time and effort to check out the various financial resources. While the universities and colleges offer financial aid to international students in the form of awards, teaching and research assistantships and tuition waivers, there are other agencies and institutions that offer financial help too. This could be in the form of loans, loan scholarships or gift scholarships. Many prestigious Indian institutions offer grants and aid to deserving Indian students. The trick is to start early, as the aid available is both limited and competitive. Some of the college costs that should figure in your budget planning are the tuition fees, books and study materials, living expenses, health insurance and clothing to name a few. Most students dont realize that the use of financial aid and scholarships can make study abroad more affordable.

Tips For Surviving As A Corporate Refugee

By Lora J Adrianse In her book "Are You A Corporate Refugee", Ruth Luban associates "corporate refugees" with refugees who never intend to leave their home country. People who are uprooted from the familiar terrain, customs and native language they've known for a very long time. From my own experience as a corporate refugee over the past year, I can validate that the sense of loss can be overwhelming at times. The loss of a secure income is significant in itself, but when it compounds with the loss of identity, structure and community, there are times when it's paralyzing. Today, almost a year later, I proudly consider myself a Corporate Refugee who has successfully navigated the grueling journey and emerged with an amazing new sense of purpose and freedom! With that in mind, I offer you tips for surviving from my own experience. Give Yourself Time To Heal Acknowledge the fact that you have been thrown into a life changing experience. Before you can move toward the future it's important to resolve the past. Just as in the loss of a loved one, there are stages of grief you will need to deal with. Chances are you will feel denial, anger, bargaining, and depression before you get to acceptance. Expect it, accept it, and try to have the forethought to recognize where you are in the process. Take Advantage Of Your New "Lack Of" Schedule One of the greatest advantages you have right now is "time". Even though much of that time will be preoccupied with processing your thoughts, there are no boundaries around where and when you do that. Turn off your alarm, forget your bedtime and let your body reset it's own clock. On gorgeous days go out and explore during times you would have been working. Whether you're running your toes through the grass, sitting on the beach or running errands, you'll discover sights, sounds, and people you haven't experienced at that time before. Cold, rainy days are great for putting your nose in a good book, clearing out clutter and browsing great bookstores. Like it or not, your time is your own now, take advantage of it. Soul Search And Rediscover Your Passions This is NOT the time to make major life decisions, but it's a perfect time to re evaluate what is most important to you. When you were 10 years old, what was it you wanted to be when you grew up? If you went in another direction, is it time to explore that option now? What are your values, your needs, your personal boundaries? What is it that you love so much you get lost in time? What is it that makes you laugh until you wet your pants? What have you always wanted to do, but never had the chance? The time is right to explore these things about yourself. Evolve Rather Than Revolve This is a time of evolution for you, not a revolution. Based on what you're doing, or not doing, things will change. You'll think about and do things differently than you did before. Things that worked for you before will no longer work. You'll see things you didn't see before. Take time to "just notice" without judgment. It doesn't need to be about shoulds, coulds, good or bad. It just is, so just notice. Let Go And Let Be I'm a believer that we have the power to influence outcomes, but we can't control them. In other words, what will be will be. I also believe that the universe is constantly sending us messages. If you don't listen to the messages, you get to learn the lessons. Save yourself the frustration and struggle of trying to control outcomes. Maintain Undeniable Faith Even if it's not clear now, never lose faith in yourself or your abilities. Your past successes are validations that you have what it takes to navigate and emerge from this experience with a greater sense of understanding and appreciation.
