Natural or Synthetic Fertilizers In the Vegetable Garden- What's the Difference & Which Should I Use

2008-06-16T03:26:00.001-07:00

By Jim Kennard What does "Natural" mean, and what does "Synthetic" mean? And exactly what makes synthetically produced fertilizers, if there is such a thing in the first place, any worse for your garden than naturally produced ones? This is one area in which a lot of balony gets thrown around - and regrettably believed by many good people. The simplest and most natural of the commercial fertilizers is probably lime. It's also almost universally recognized as important, and used by every kind of gardener who knows what he's doing and has access to it. The world has an inexhaustible supply of limestone (calcium carbonate), and it's simply ground to powder in powerful rock crushers, bagged, and sold to the public. We even receive much of our magnesium from the same process, when the raw material is dolomitic limestone (labeled as dolomite lime). All twelve of the other nutrients man can control are also mined from the earth. However, we have learned over time how to remove impurities, such as heavy metals, and increase the concentration of
the individual nutrients, by running them through a simple concentration process. This is often just a sulfuric acid bath, which leaves us with a much higher concentration of the original nutrient, plus sulphur, which is itself a very important nutrient. This is one reason most of the nutrients come as a combination with sulfate (zinc sulfate, etc.). So, we benefit by getting a much higher concentration of the nutrient we want, plus sulphur, with no heavy metals, and it costs MUCH less to ship to our locations, because it weighs only a fraction of the original raw material. Are those fertilizers synthetically produced? I don't think so, but perhaps they are by some peoples' definition. Did you know that even nitrogen is mined out of the ground? This may surprise many people, but it actually is - in Chile, South America - where huge mines of sodium nitrate exist. But can you imagine the cost to get it to the USA, though? And what would we do with the sodium salts?? Thank goodness we have found a better, more efficient, and therefore far less costly way to produce nitrogen fertilizers. About 90 years ago two German scientists, Fritz Haber and Karl Bosch, discovered and commercialized the processes by which nitrogen could be separated from other elements in different compounds and
made available as fertilizer. These discoveries arguably served as the single most important component leading to exponential global agricultural growth, and the Haber-Bosch process is still the benchmark process used today. I believe the world owes much of what we have agriculturally today to the use of nitrogen that has been produced by the Haber-Bosch process, and whether or not it's synthetic is, to me at least, irrelevant. I do believe there is a valid and important argument against the uncontrolled "synthetic" production of chemicals having to do with the garden, but I believe it should be limited to pesticides and herbicides. This is a more complex issue that will take more time to discuss, and we won't go there at this time. I do hope that readers of this article are able to understand and appreciate the value and importance of mineral nutrients in helping us grow strong, healthy plants, and that you will not spend your time worrying about "natural" or "synthetic" fertilizers.

Tuberous Begonias

2008-06-12T02:45:00.001-07:00

By Geoff Bryant
If you appreciate plants that have no hesitation in boldly stating their presence with huge, almost artificially perfect flowers, then tuberous begonias are for you. While some may find them rather too overstated, downright brazen even, if you like colour, and plenty of it, with subtlety an option rather than compulsory, then look no further.
Flowering from late spring, as the days exceed 13 hours long, until well into autumn when the foliage dies back, these tuberous-rooted perennials have been extensively hybridised and refined to the point where the larger-flowered forms are nothing short of spectacular. For those with greenhouses or a very mild winter climate there are even types that flower well into winter, if not right through the cooler months.
Description and classificationand groups
Begonias are among those convenient plants where the proper name is also the common name. The genus is found in the tropics and subtropics, particularly in the Americas, and is made up of around 900 species with 130-odd in cultivation, from which many cultivars and hybrids have been developed. These garden forms have been divided into 8 main categories. They are:
1. Cane-like, which have narrow, upright stems with conspicuous leaf nodes and evergreen foliage. 2. Shrub-like, which are bushy plants with branching stems. 3. Thick-stemmed, which resemble the cane-like but with much heavier stems that sometimes form a trunk. 4. Semperflorens, which are the fibrous rooted types usually treated as summer-flowering bedding annuals. 5. Rhizomatous, which may be evergreen or deciduous and which are often grown as much for their foliage as for their flowers. 6. Rex-cultorum, which are the fancy-leaved Rex begonias that are usually grown as house plants. 7. Tuberous, which have thickened tuberous roots and which usually die back over winter or, in the case of the winter-flowering types, which may be dried off at some other time. 8. Trailing Scandent, which are pendulous, ever-blooming plants often with long internodes and which should not be confused with the trailing tuberous begonias.
So group seven it is, yet although quite a few begonia species have tuberous roots, when we talk of tuberous begonias we're generally referring to the fancy-flowered group of garden-raised plants known as Begonia tuberhybrida. Developed mainly from South American species, they first appeared in Europe in 1867, just three years after the introduction of the most influential of the early parent species, Begonia pearcei. Since that time thousands of hybrids have been raised and we now have tuberous begonias in a wide range of sizes and styles of flower and growth habit.
There are small- medium- and large-flowered hybrids; they may have single, semi-double or fully rose- or camellia-like double flowers; they may be small and mound-forming, trailing or upright to nearly a metre tall. And while the flowers are spectacular, don't ignore the foliage. Because although unlike say the Rex begonias, tuberous begonias are never grown for their foliage alone, their velvety, deep green leaves add a rich luxuriance that is the perfect foil to the flowers, which would definitely be diminished without the contrast of the leaves.
Cultivation

So, tuberous begonias are beautiful. I don't need to tell you that, the pictures speak for themselves, but how do you get the best out of them? Well, as garden plants they're not for everyone and not for every location, though with careful selection and siting you may be surprised at just how well they grow outdoors in many parts of New Zealand.
Begonias have a preference for cool, moist conditions and a climate that doesn't suffer from extremes of summer heat or winter cold. They need bright light to flower well but should be out of direct sunlight, especially during the heat of the day, and they also need shelter from strong winds or the flowers may brown at the edges and the soft foliage may be torn or bent. Tuberous begonias flower best with humus-rich soil, plenty of moisture and regular feeding.
Given those requirements it's not surprising that many gardeners choose to cultivate tuberous begonias indoors, as conservatory, shadehouse or cool greenhouse plants. However, if you have a bright southerly facing position in your garden or a shaded spot facing north, then begonias will thrive outdoors too, particularly in areas that don't often experience drought in summer.
Strong sun and wind, especially hot dry winds, are the main enemies; light soil that dries out quickly doesn't help either. But in a lightly shaded, sheltered position with soil that has been thoroughly prepared with plenty of well-rotted compost tuberous begonias will flower from early summer to the first frosts. And all that you need do is to stake the tall growers to bamboo canes (specialist nurseries stock wire frames), remove any spent flowers, keep the soil moist and add a little liquid fertiliser every week.
If you find that the super-fancy large-flowered forms are simply not tough enough for your garden, don't give up. Instead try some of the smaller-flowered hybrids. The little Multiflora types, commonly known as Flamboyant Begonias, are very resilient. Grown as massed bedding or in clusters, they're most commonly seen with bright red flowers, which often almost hide the foliage, but also occur in orange and a somewhat weaker yellow-flowered form.
Nonstop begonias are crosses between the Multifloras and the larger flowered types. As you'd expect they're of intermediate height and vigour. They flower continuously, even in winter if kept indoors, and are available in a wide range of colours. Nonstops are F1 hybrids so there is no point in saving the seed and any seedpods should be removed to keep the plants flowering. Reiger begonias, developed from Begonia hiemalis, are similar.
And if open beds don't seem to work, consider growing your begonias in pots so that you can find just the right place for them. The upright types flower and grow well but are rather brittle, necessitating staking. The trailing types, often Begonia boliviensis hybrids, have more flexible, pendulous stems and when grown in hanging baskets they are easy-care plants that make a great show. Trailing begonias usually do best in sphagnum-lined wire baskets rather than solid pots, their roots appreciating the cool moist sphagnum.
Disbudding and deadheading

Begonias have separate male and female flowers. Usually one large female flower is subtended by two smaller male flowers. Removing the male flowers before they mature will allow the showy female flowers to reach their full size and will also prevent the development of seedpods that could lessen the plant's vigour. Old flowers should be removed once past their best. They snap off easily and doing this not only encourages new blooms to form, it also helps prevent fungal diseases that could develop among the decaying petals.
Pests and diseases
Begonias are neither particularly susceptible to nor resistant to pests. Slugs and snail relish the young shoots and the mature foliage, various caterpillars may chew the foliage, rasping and sap-sucking creatures such as thrips, aphids and mealy bugs may be present, but with a little attention and routine care, pests can usually be stopped before they get out of control.
More of a problem are fungal diseases, especially soft rots, mildew and botrytis. Damaged stems can quickly become soft, watery and rotten and this may lead to the eventual collapse of the plant. Almost inevitably the foliage will develop mildew in late autumn- it's just part of the winter die-back process- but mildew can also occur during the growing season. Good ventilation goes a long way towards controlling the severity of fungal diseases, keeping the foliage and stems reasonably dry also helps, though spraying with a fungicide will probably be necessary too.
Winter care
As flower production lessens from mid-autumn, cut back on watering and feeding and allow your begonias to dry off. While the foliage should dry, brown and fall away without too many problems, do keep an eye open for any fungal diseases that could spread to the tubers.
Once the foliage has dried, the tubers may be lifted or removed from their pots for winter storage. This isn't always necessary in mild winter areas, but where hard frosts or prolonged wet conditions are likely it's a good idea. The tubers can be stored in barely moist sawdust or any other fairly dry, inert medium, such as damp, shredded newspaper. Replant them (concave side up) in spring as the new shoots appear. Cover the tubers with a few centimetres of soil, as they sprout roots from the tops too.
The exceptions to the process are the winter-flowering Begonia hiemalis hybrids, which result from crossing Begonia tuberhybrida with Begonia socotrana, a species from an Indian Ocean island off the caost of Yemen. Widely sold as Reiger or "blush" begonias, these plants start to flower from late summer and will remain in leaf and flower until spring. Obviously these plants, which are completely intolerant of frost, need a very mild, benign winter to grow outdoors. However, they are very adaptable to indoor cultivation and are a great choice for winter-flowering house plants that can spend the summer outdoors in the garden.
Propagation
There are several ways to propagate tuberous begonias, the method used varying with they type of plant.
Seed
Sow bought seed to produce F1 hybrids such as the Nonstops or to get a new crop of vigorous young plants.
Begonia seed is very fine, dust-like in fact. It's so fine that it doesn't usually come in seed packets, where it would be lost in the folds, but in glass phials that have to be snapped open before sowing. Pelleted seeds are much easier to handle, thought they are not always readily available.
The seed needs warmth and light to germinate. It should be sown in spring, uncovered, in heated trays. Keep the seed just moist until it germinates. The young seedlings grow quickly and are soon large enough to pot. When small they are sensitive to draughts and temperature fluctuations and should be kept under cover until spring is well settled into early summer.
Prepare your garden beds with high-humus compost and organic fertiliser and because the foliage will be tender, plant out when the weather is not too hot and sunny.
Division

Mature plants have large tubers that divide readily and division is a good way to quickly produce established, sturdy plants. Divide the tubers in spring when replanting. They slice easily with a sharp knife but because finding the growing 'eyes' can be difficult keep your divisions on the large side. To prevent fungal diseases, dust the cut surfaces with sulphur powder and allow them to dry before planting.
Cuttings
Most tuberous begonias will grow from cuttings and this is an especially good method of building up large stocks of the small-flowered Multiflora types for massed bedding. The fresh spring and early summer shoots make the best cuttings and will strike very quickly under mild humid conditions. You can continue to take cuttings well into summer but unless the new plants can develop reasonably sized tubers before winter they will probably not survive until the following spring.
Like many of the house plant begonias, Begonia hiemalis is often raised from leaf cuttings. This involves removing a mature leaf, slicing across its veins and pinning the leaf down on moist soil. A warm humid environment, such as an enclosed propagation tray, is essential. Also, you should start in spring so that the young plants are well-established before winter.
Begonia displays
Public gardens often use tuberous begonias in their displays and this can one of the best ways to see a wide range of flower types.

Proof That God Exists

2008-06-07T19:18:00.001-07:00

By Emmanuel Emezie The existence of God can be proved in two ways by practical demonstration and by deduction. These two methods are employed because they are acceptable to science. In science, fact can be established by practical demonstration and knowledge can be arrived at by deduction. Let us begin with the method of practical demonstration. We are told that the earth has a magnetic field. We cannot see, hear or touch this magnetic field. However, science is able to show proof of its existence in this way. When a bar magnet is suspended so that it can swing freely on a horizontal plane, it will always come to rest with its north pole pointing approximately towards the geographic north. So, although we cannot see, hear or touch the earths magnetic field, science is able to prove its existence by demonstrating its effect on a freely suspended bar magnet. This, therefore, means that a thing that is not observable does in actual fact exist if it produces observable effects on some other thing. God is not observable. We cannot see, hear or touch Him. However, God produces observable effects in the lives of human beings. When we put our faith in Him, we experience the effect of His power. Countless cases and instances abound of people who, when they were in difficulty, put their faith in God and experienced the positive effect of His power. Below is one of the many testimonies and incidents recounted in the book, The Power of Positive Thinking, by Norman Vincent Peale (Worlds Work Ltd, Publishers). (To keep this article from being lengthy, I have chosen this rather brief testimony which can be found on pages 195 and 196). Another efficient woman physician wrote me of her own development in combining the therapy of medicine and faith. I became interested in your straight forward religious philosophy. I had been working at top speed and getting tense, irritable, and at times beset with old fears and guilts, in fact in need of a release from morbid tension. At a low moment early one morning I picked up your book and began to read it. This was the prescription that I needed. Here was God, the great Physician, with faith in Him as an antibiotic to kill the germs of fear and render useless the virus of guilt. I began to practice the good Christian principles outlined in your book. Gradually there came a release of tension and I felt relaxed and happier and I slept well. I quit taking vitamin and pep pills. Then, she adds, and this is what I want to emphasize, I began to feel that I wanted to share this new experience with my patients, those who came to me with neuroses. I was surprised to find how many had read your book and others. The patient and I seemed to have a common ground to work on. It has been an enriching experience. To talk about a faith in God has become a natural and easy thing to do. As a doctor, she adds, I have seen a number of miraculous recoveries due to Divine aid being given. In the past few weeks I have had an additional experience. My sister had to undergo a serious operation about three weeks ago. Following the operation she developed intestinal obstruction. On her fifth day she was very critically ill, and as I left the hospital at noon I realized that she must take a turn for the better very soon or her hope of recovery would be slim. I was very worried, so I drove slowly around for about twenty minutes praying for a relief of this obstruction. (Everything that could be done medically was being taken care of). I had not been home more than ten minutes when the phone rang, and her nurse told me that the obstruction has relieved itself and that she had taken a definite turn for the better, and since that time she has recovered completely. Could I feel otherwise than that Gods intervention had saved her life? So runs the letter of a successful practicing physician. If you will like many more testimonies of peoples experiences of the effect of the power of God in their lives then I recommend that you read this book. On innumerable occasions in my own affairs, I have had to put my faith in God when I came to the limit of my abilities or resources. On every single one of those occasions I achieved the goal I desired or attained the objective I sought. On all those occasions I experienced the effect of the power of God. The fact that God produces observable effects in the lives of human beings is incontrovertible proof that God exists. Let us now employ deduction to again prove that God really exists. For law and order to exist, an authority must be present to establish and maintain it. In the absence of authority, anarchy usually reigns. Recent events in Bagdad, capital of Iraq, will help illustrate my point. When the government of Saddam Hussein collapsed under the onslaught of American and coalition forces, all hell broke loose. Looters spearheaded the chaos that ensued. Violence and disorderly conduct took center stage. Woman dared not step out onto the streets without the company of their men folk. Life and property were clearly insecure and you could see it glaringly demonstrated no authority, no law and order. Now, it is a scientific fact that natural laws exist. These are laws that apply at all times and in all places and which may be regarded as universal laws. Some examples of such laws are: the law of Gravity, Newtons Laws of Motion and the Law of Demand and Supply. We also know from observation and experience that there is order in the universe. The sequence of the seasons never changes. We always go to bed at night rest assured that day will unfailingly follow night. And when it is dawn, we arise knowing that the sun will invariably rise in the east and later set in the west at dusk. Every living thing reproduces its own kind. A corn plant will sprout from a corn seed. A dog will give birth to puppies and a pregnant human will deliver a baby human. Even then, if the white spouse of a white gentleman gives birth to a dark skinned baby, she will most certainly face accusations of unfaithfulness. White parents produce white babies and black parents produce black babies. That is the natural and unchangeable order of things. It is the order which exists in the universe that enables scientists to calculate precisely when and where the next eclipse will occur. The fact that universal law and order exist means that a universal authority exists. God or whatever name you choose to call this Almighty Power is the universal authority responsible for the establishment and maintenance of universal law and order. To accept universal law and order and reject universal authority simply does not make sense. The former cannot be present without the later. I think it is time we all face up to the fact that God, the Universal Authority, exists. It is time to acknowledge His authority over us and to make doing His will our first priority. This is the only way to go if we are to experience the full and joyous life that the Almighty intended for us. Emmanuel Emezie is a philosopher-scientist. A six-year-long scientific inquiry into the spiritual aspect of life led him to the discovery of intriguing and life-improving spiritual knowledge.

I Have Sciatic Nerve Pain - Do I Need Surgery?

2008-05-30T03:43:00.001-07:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robert_Lieberson] Robert Lieberson Sciatica is the name of a type of leg pain and is fairly common. It is usually caused when a bulging or ruptured disc pinches one of the nerves that goes down to the legs. Often injections, epidurals, or nerve blocks are suggested therapies, and are performed using X-ray for visual guidance. The surgeon injects cortisone, a potent anti-inflammatory, around the painful and inflamed nerve to relieve the symptoms. For a ruptured disc (where a piece has broken off), an open, microscopic surgery may be needed. When the disc is bulging or prolapsed but not broken off, research has shown that some percutaneous (needle) procedures may work well. With percutaneous needle surgery, there is no incision and only a local anesthetic is required. The needle is positioned with the help of X-ray. A laser is then used to remove a small portion of the damaged disc through the needle. The procedure typically takes 20 to 45 minutes, and hospitalization is not needed. The laser needle procedure will be successful 75 to 90 percent of the time in good candidates. Surgery can be avoided if the pain is relieved. Common sense dictates that the least invasive, and the least risky treatments, should be tried first. Dr. Lieberson is a board certified neurosurgeon who specializes in spinal medicine and surgery. He trained at the University of Pennsylvania and at Stanford Medical Center. He has published and lectured in the field of spine surgery. Dr. Lieberson has been in private practice in the Bay Area for over 12 years and has offices in Fremont and Pleasanton.

Easy Ways to Sort Glass-Painting Mistakes

2008-05-23T21:59:00.001-07:00

By Geraldine Jozefiak Making mistakes in craftwork can often seem like a disaster. Sometimes you feel like binning the whole thing and starting again. When you're working with acetate and glass that isn't always practical. I've used the suggestions below to help many learners feel more confident in sorting common mistakes in Glass Painting. What type of mistakes? The common mistakes come in using outline pen, acrylic paste or methylated-based glass paints. Though different materials, they are all sorted with a single product . It will be no surprise to hear that product is methylated spirits. Outline pens used in glass painting are generally designed for use with overhead projectors and are methylated based. That means that the pens, and the paste used for the thicker 3D outlines, can all be removed with clean meths. Mistakes made with methylated-based glass paints can be removed in the same way. Use water for removing mistakes made with water-based paints. Removing pen and outline mistakes
Whether you are using an outline pen, or paste, the process is the same for both. Follow the instructions carefully and you should completely remove the problem ready to start again. What you need to prepare
1. Pour a small amount of clean methylated spirits into a clean individual sized jam jar and replace the lid.
2. Cover your table with newspaper and place a blank sheet of copy paper on top.
3. Place your acetate or glass on the paper.
4. Gather a few clean cotton buds. What you do
1. Dip one end of a clean cotton bud into the clean meths. and replace the lid.
2. Holding the dipped cotton bud end against one end of the 'mistake', gently roll the cotton bud away from you through the mistake.
3. As you do this, the meths-soaked bud will absorb the paste or pen ink.
4. Don't drag the cotton bud or you may make more of a mess.
5. Continue by dipping in a clean end and roll again until the mistake has gone. You may need to do this a few times. What next
1. Don't forget that you'll need to put back the design outline after all this cleaning.
2. Refresh the design outline again using your paste or pen. Practice
When you first do this it can be fiddly but the result is a good as new piece of work. If it helps to restore confidence then it's important to sort out any mistakes as soon as possible. Left uncorrected it's easy for learners to get discouraged and give up. And if they have had earlier "I can't do craft" experiences, this will just feel like another that convinces them. I always show people how to sort out mistakes, and generally, when demonstrating how to do outlines, I make a mistake! They're not to know if I did it on purpose of not - unless I tell them. It makes it all seem as if problems are really not a problem after all. Practice this before your session so that you feel confident and you'll soon have everyone churning out great pieces of work that they are proud off. And if you do have to start again, hey, no big deal. Start by using materials that won't break the bank. Acetate is a brilliant place to start as it's easily obtainable, cheap and easy to use. Geraldine Jozefiak is passionate about crafts and their place in education. Be part of raising standards in teaching and learning by using the best possible craft instructions.

2008-05-20T23:44:00.001-07:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Andrew_Bicknell] Andrew Bicknell Quinine sulfate is a known muscle relaxant that has been used for many years to help relax tense muscles and relieve muscle cramps. It also helps people who are suffering from involuntary muscle contractions. These attributes make it the perfect choice for treating the muscle cramps that affect many sufferers of restless leg syndrome. There are a variety of symptoms that can occur with restless leg syndrome, but leg cramps can be the most annoying and painful. Waking up in the middle of the night with leg cramps is not anyones idea of fun. The pain of leg cramps can range from mild to excruciating and one of the most effective ways to deal with leg cramps is by taking quinine sulfate. While full strength quinine sulfate must be prescribed by a licensed physician there are over the counter medications that have trace amounts quinine sulfate in them. These trace amounts of quinine sulfate are combined with vitamin to produce an over the counter supplement that can be used as a treatment for restless leg syndrome. The vitamin E is used to help promote oxygen flow to the leg muscles which also helps relieve muscle cramps and when combined with the quinine sulfate is quite effective at leg cramp relief and also helping to prevent future occurrences. Another nice thing about using quinine sulfate as a treatment for restless leg syndrome is that it has few side affects. There are other drugs available that help relieve leg cramps but many of them have the side affect of loss of muscle control. While getting relief from muscle cramps is always welcome not being able to get up and move around because of loss of muscle control can be about as annoying as the cramps themselves. Quinine sulfate does not have this side affect and allows people who suffer from restless leg syndrome to retain their mobility and go about their daily lives. If you or someone you know thinks they may suffer from restless leg syndrome it is important to visit your doctor to confirm the diagnosis. If you attempt to treat your symptoms without knowing what it is that is causing it you can end up doing more harm then good. This is particularly important when taking over the counter medications because while they may help relieve the symptoms, the symptoms may be a sign of any number of other conditions that may or may not be related to restless leg syndrome. A correct diagnosis will not only make sure that the treatment you are receiving is proper it will also allow your doctor to counter any adverse side affects you may have taking your medications. If you think you have or currently suffer from restless leg syndrome and the leg cramps that can come with it see your doctor. They can provide a prescription for quinine sulfate and help effectively treat your restless leg syndrome.

Looking for Higher Education in Minnesota State? Colleges and Universities Abound

2008-05-18T18:55:00.001-07:00

By Afa Ismayilova Minnesota state colleges and universities offer some of the best educational choices in America. Whether you're looking for the comfort of a close-to-home education or the independence of far away, Minnesota offers 105 schools to choose from; there is something for everyone. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Have More to Offer than Just an Education When searching for Minnesota State colleges and universities, you should also think about a school close to fun activities and inspiring scenery, allowing for that all important "down-time" from your studies. With 66 state parks, many Minnesota state colleges and universities are literally minutes away from incredible camping, hiking, horseback riding, canoeing, self-guided trails, and cross-country skiing. Or if the city scene is more your style, there are great nightclubs, shopping, and restaurants in many of the Metro areas of Minnesota state. Colleges and Universities shouldn't be all work and no play. There are many types of Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Do you want a big school, a small school, a technical school? Here are so many choices in Minnesota state college and universities - how will you know the right one for you? Let's take a look at some of the options: Large public universities: Be one of many - earn your degree alongside large groups of other students. This type of learning environment is great for outgoing types who work well with little supervision or support and have unlimited time and resources to devote to fully academic schedules. Smaller community colleges: This type of institution can provide a more personalized education but, can be limited by outdated curriculum and facilities. Can be good for those with a flexible timetable, as the limited class offerings may be difficult to fit into tight schedules. Specialized technical schools: Learn solely about the field you want to work in without expanding into the academic arena. Although you can sometimes get to work faster with a certification through a technical school, the lack of the additional academic education may leave you at a disadvantage in the workplace and in life. Private Colleges: Of all the Minnesota state colleges and universities, these schools may offer the broadest choice. Offering family-like campus settings and the smaller class sizes most students want, they also offer career-focused, technologically-intensive curriculum and personalized student support. More importantly, these schools also offer an academic focus, which can set your education apart from one received through a technical school. Minnesota state colleges and universities could be the best place for you to improve your education and your life in more ways than just academically. Great Minnesota schools are a given but, history, beautiful scenery and fun activities are also all important aspects of education in Minnesota state - colleges and universities are just the beginning.

Breast Implant Augmentation Surgery: What To Expect

2008-05-14T20:47:00.001-07:00

By Polly Summer Many breast implant augmentation surgery patients do not mentally prepare themselves for the pain involved after surgery. The amount of pain experienced by patients varies, and some patients feel very little pain or discomfort. Others, however (like me) experience a lot of pain. It is not possible to predict how much pain any particular individual is likely to feel, so you should discuss this with your surgeon. If you choose to have "under the muscle" surgery, this increases the risks of post-operative pain. Breast implants can sit much higher than expected until they eventually 'settle'. This can be disconcerting as it causes the nipples to actually point downards. Not the effect you want! You can expect the implants to take up to 6 weeks to begin looking 'normal', and perhaps a further 6 weeks to settle properly into the position they were meant to be. Expect the implants to feel hard. Again, like the position of them, this will improve as they settle, and they will soften. Do not expect them to actually ever feel like real breast tissue though. Breast implants are likely to cause some bruising, and the risk of this is higher with an armpit incision. You can also expect some scarring (as with any invasive procedure). Although the scarring will be permament, it should be light enough so it can be easily masked with makeup. To give you an idea of the risks of heavy scarring (sometimes called "hypertrophic scars") this occurs in roughly 10% of crease incisions (under the breast), 5% of areola incisions, and under 1% of armpit (or axillary) incisions. You can, of course, expect your breasts to be lifted as a result of breast implant augmentation surgery. However, do not expect them to stay where they are after surgery. Age, pregnancy, and childbearing will have the same effect on your breasts whether you have had implants or not. If you have any pre-existing stretch marks, you may expect breast implants to actually fill these out and make them less noticeable! Likewise, implants can cause fresh stretch marks if there is not enough breast tissue to comfortably take your new size. You should discuss this with your surgeon and not be tempted to go too big if this is a risk issue for you.

Protect Clothing from Common Hazards - Easy Care Advise for a Busy Lifestyle

2008-05-12T20:08:00.001-07:00

By Sheryll Fraze When it comes to
clothing care dry cleaning, mothballs and cedar are what
typically comes to mind. But in fact, common damages such
as snags, discoloration, and mildew cannot be prevented by
using these care methods; particularly for delicate fibers like
silk, lace and beads. Whether storing clothing and accessories at home or packing for a trip, these simple ideas can safeguard them for years to come. 1) Use fabric bags for storage vs plastic Some plastic
and vinyl bags emit PVC gases that over time that can
discolor and weaken delicate fibers. Their poor breathability
can also encourage the development of moldiness and
mildew. Fabric bags are breathable, which keeps garments
fresher and fabrics safer. 2) Create wardrobe zones Even if space is tight,
designate an area inside closets and drawers to keep
valued items away from high traffic areas that are used
every day. Its an easy way to organize and protect delicate
fabrics from snags and pulls. 3) Keep tissue paper handy Whether storing items at
home or inside luggage, folding them in a sheet of tissue
provides a little extra protection from inadvertent snags on
rough surfaces or other items. For long term storage
acid-free paper and breathable storage containers are
recommended. 4) Air out worn garments out before storing them This
helps reduce the attraction of insects that are drawn to
odors from food, perspiration and perfumes. Closets will
also benefit by not having stale odors affect other attire. 5) Check delicate garments after wearing them Take a
few minutes to check for loose beads and use a small pin
to tie off the ends. Some snagged items can be handled at
home with a needle or repair kits. If unsure, taking it to a
professional tailor is recommended 6) Be careful with mothballs and cedar If items are stored
in a cedar chest, be careful that garments do not come in
contact with the oils which can cause burning
discoloration. Also, mothballs and cedar may repel insects -
but if garments are not cleaned before storage, larvae that
have been deposited can still cause damage. These are just a few ideas to help protect fine apparel from
common hazards such as snags, mold and discoloration
and keep them looking great for years. Sheryll Fraze is a designer of wardrobe organizers and
accessories with over 15 years experience in the fashion
field. She is founder of Hot Accent, an apparel care company
that offers products to store, care for and travel with fine
clothing and accessories. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Sheryll_Fraze http://EzineArticles.com/?Protect-Clothing-from-Common-Hazards---Easy-Care-Advise-for-a-Busy-Lifestyle&id=136933 bad credit car loan lake elsinore

Beautiful Skin 101

2008-05-04T15:30:00.001-07:00

By John Russell Most women shy away from being called 'too sensitive.' But when the subject is kin, they're all too willing to wear the scarlet S. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, at least 40% of women believe they have sensitive skin, although most dermatologists report that only a fraction really do. Sensitivity "defined as skin that's prone to irritation from products, weather, or stress" is a real (albeit misunderstood) condition. It's not the same as an allergy. It means you have a lower tolerance for irritating ingredients, such as fragrances and dyes. The evil twist here is that the more skin reacts, the more sensitive it becomes. Imagine normal skin having a natural barrier like Saran Wrap. People with sensitive skin have a disrupted barrier all the time. But by identifying what disrupts that barrier and protecting it with the right moisturizer, you can develop a thicker skin. Read Labels: Before applying creams, lotions, or makeup, read the ingredients list. The fewer ingredients on the label, the better. All products and formulas should be free of fragrance, dye, and isopropyl alcohol (commonly known as rubbing alcohol). And beware of botanical ingredients and oils. Test each new product on the side of your neck for a few days before using it on your face. Cleanse: Wash you face with a milky, non-foaming liquid cleanser or a soap-free bar. Do not use a washcloth or any rough scrubber, which can be too abrasive for sensitive skin. Rinse face well by splashing with lukewarm water and pat with a soft towel, leaving skin slightly damp. There is no need to use a toner, which generally contains drying and irritating isopropyl alcohol. Moisturize: Dab moisturizer onto damp skin in the morning and night. Look for one that contains ceramides, fatty acids, or cholesterol, all of which help form a protective barrier against irritation. In the morning, when the moisturizer is absorbed, apply a sunscreen (with an SPF 15 or higher). It should also contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are least likely to cause reactions.
Cheat Sheet Choose the right products. 'Allergy-tested' means it doesn't have ingredients that cause common reactions. 'Noncomedogenic' means it won't clog pores. Read labels. Not everyone with sensitive skin is troubled by the same thing, but the most common irritants, in order, include fragrance, isopropyl alcohol, dyes, PABA, lanolin, sorbic acid, formaldehyde, and benzoic acid.
Don't assume that natural products are safe. Some botanicals (rosemary, sandalwood, arnica) and essential oils (jojoba, tea tree, lavender) may irritate. Test samples on the neck for several days. If they don't irritate you, they'll probably be fine for your face.
Don't try an arsenal of new products at once. Similarly, if skin breaks out, stop using everything, and reintroduce products one by one. Be as gentle as possible. Use a creamy, liquid cleanser or a soap-free bar and rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid Buf-Pufs and washcloths. Pat with a towel and leave skin slightly damp. Moisturize with a product for sensitive skin, or one that contains fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides.
Every day, be sure to apply a PABA-free sunscreen that contains titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
Daily Basics Wash with a milky, non-foaming liquid.
Use a soap-free formula with oatmeal that calms dry and itchy skin.
For day, use a fragrance-free moisturizer containing a non-irritating sunscreen. At night, smooth on a noncomedogenic formula that helps fortify the skin's barrier while you sleep.
Dermatologists say that sensitive-skin sufferers are more likely to avoid using sunscreens, associating them with past reactions to PABA. Choose one that won't aggravate skin.
It's not just what you put on your face. Hair spray can cause breakouts along the hairline. Use an allergy-tested and keep the hair off the face whenever possible. Extra Help To soothe redness, dermatologists recommend using a fragrance-free treatment. A dime-size dab of an over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream also relieves itching.
For dryness on the body, increase resistance to the environment with a product containing lipids, which is safe for sensitive types.
To treat blemishes, start with an irritant-free face lotion that minimizes blotches with vitamin A. Follow with a concealer that won't aggravate acne, which does double duty by helping clear and conceal blemishes.
Dermatologists like products that get their color from iron oxides, which are less likely to cause reactions. They're also talc-free, which means they won't rob skin of the moisture it needs. Tricks of the Trade Don't' shower or bathe for more than 20 minutes, or you'll dry out your skin. Use lukewarm water.
Don't start any aggressive treatments during the winter, when skin is dryer and more sensitive because of low humidity and indoor heating. A humidifier helps skin from becoming parched.
Grainy or chemical exfoliants can cause breakouts. Excessive daily scrubbing rubs the sebaceous glands, which can clog pores. Use a clay or mud mask to slough off dead cells instead.
Facials are trouble unless they're simple, steam-free, and employ fragrance-free products.
Avoid chemical peels and laser treatments if you're sensitive to exfoliants and skin-lightening creams.
If acne medications irritate your skin, ask your doctor about taking oral antibiotics or birth-control pills, which can help minimize blemishes.
Keep Retin-A treatments to only once a week. Dilute the strength by mixing it with your moisturizer.
For skin that seems provoked by anything and everything, ask you dermatologist about cleansers and moisturizers that are normally prescribed for hypersensitive postsurgery and postpeel patients.

Best Celebrity Hairstyles for Your Face - Part 3 of 6

2008-05-02T03:34:00.001-07:00

By Perriann Rodriguez What are your lifestyle and hair habits? You may look fantastic after you leave the salon wearing a new trendy celebrity hair style. But will you look fantastic after you have washed and styled your hair? The excitement of getting a new hair style sometimes overpowers us into an unreal reality. We imagine how we will look sporting the new layered hair style. How we will wear a certain outfit, with our hair perfectly styled in the new look. When reality hitsusually after the first shampoo---we are generally disillusioned with our hair style. If you face reality before you have any scissors go near your hair, then you may be happier in the long run. Many lifestyle considerations must be evaluated with each type of celebrity hair style you may want. Are you extremely active or inactive? If you are constantly swimming, exercising, riding a motorcycle, you will require extra styling time and work to keep your celebrity hair styles looking good.What aspect of your hair would you like to enhance? (i.e. texture, volume, wave, length, color) These aspects have an important role in fine-tuning the hair style that best suits you.)How much time do you spend styling your hair every day? If you get a hair style that requires more styling time, will you be able (and willing) to put in the time?Are you good at dealing with your hair, or do you struggle with getting it to do certain things? If you struggle with your hair, you would not want to pick a high maintenance hair, i.e. lots of layering, curls as they will require extra work.Are you more comfortable with long or short styles? Sometimes we see a fantastic celebrity short hair style and desperately want the look. Remember that once you cut the hair off, it will take a long time to grow back. Of course there are hair extensions!How often do you shampoo/condition your hair? Referring to hair extensions above, if you want long, beautiful hair with hair extensions, be aware of the extra time needed to shampoo/condition your hair. And every time you shampoo/condition your hair, you will be re-styling it.Is your hair extremely dry or oily? Very dry hair may not hold up to constant flat ironing, curling irons, etc. If you need these appliances to create your celebrity hair style, be sure to deep-condition your hair regularly to combat the dryness. Extremely oily hair may not hold a curl, and will definitely cause issues with many hair extension methods. Be realistic about what you can do with your hair.Are you experiencing any type of unnatural hair loss? Hair loss can be camouflaged by your hair style. Dont pick a hair style that will accentuate your hair loss or thinning. Be sure to look into various hair loss treatments. If caught early, many hair loss situations can be reversed or at least halted.Do you have any cowlicks or a natural and persistent part? No matter what hair style you get, you will need to consider these issues. Adapt the hair style you are looking for to accommodate any imperfections in your hair.You have picked a celebrity hair style that you want. Do you know what the styling requirements are to get your hair to look like that every day?In short, you should consider these 10 lifestyle and hair habits factors before getting a celebrity hair style. Be realistic in what you can do with your hair. Stay tuned for Best Celebrity Hair Styles for Your Face- Part 4 Searching for the hair styles you like.

Why Does He Hurt Me?

2008-04-29T05:29:00.001-07:00

By Elane Williams I had asked myself these questions so many times. I thought it was my fault. I thought if only I didn't make him so mad. If I just kept my mouth shut he wouldn't hit me. Why couldn't I just keep my opinions to myself? I can't believe that I was stupid enough to let him hurt me and not do anything about it. I had watched so many of my friends live this way and even protected them from their abusers but I couldn't do it for myself. We had a whirlwind relationship; we both had just come out of other relationships and were hurting emotionally. I know now my self-esteem was at the lowest point it had ever been and it has been pretty low sometimes. I have since found out you attract what you are. I guess I was attracting pain and hurt. We went out for lunch and dinner, we watched movies and hung out with his friends. We were inseparable. I pushed everything and everyone else out of my life. I had let him become my whole world. I couldn't see I was doing the same thing I had warned my friends not to do when they got into relationships. Things started to change and he started to get mad at me for silly things. I should have seen the signs. I was so insecure and alone that I just wanted somebody who would love me. The first time he hurt me he had been angry in traffic. He tried to throw me out of a moving car. I stayed with him though and we moved in together three months later. He threw our table and chairs down the stairs the day we moved in together, I should left then but I stayed. I thought it was the stress of moving. After a couple of months of living together things started to get better. We started going out with friends and I thought he had changed. We had been together six months and he asked me to marry him on New Years Eve, I said yes. I was sure it was love. I know now I was scared of being alone if I said no. It wasn't long before I would regret making that decision. It took some time before I was well enough to get out of that abusive relationship. I had to see that I was a worthwhile person and that nobody deserves to be abused. I had to hurt just long enough to want to change myself and my life. Today I can look back on it and realize that I have learned a lot for what I went through. I am a stronger person for surviving the experience. It has made me believe in my inner voice and now I listen to its warnings where before I wouldn't. I am free now to love and be love and not be a hostage of my insecurities.

Empowerment and Self-Control - What it Really Takes to get Control of your Weight

2008-04-27T01:39:00.001-07:00

By JLee Davis Chant the following each day, several times.
They are mantras that will save your life - - The choice to do nothing is still a choice and yields nothing. - I am responsible for my body. If I dont take responsibility, who will? - I make choices daily as to how I'm going to fuel my body. - I will STAY aware - Choice IS control Control is what you gain once you realize that no one will take care of you. You might think its ok to live with our grown children when we are infirm, but we both know, you and I, that this isn't the case. We would regret imposing on them, at the prime of their lives. We would resent being infirm and therefore feel sorry for ourselves. There is no guarantee against illness, but you and I also know that the eating patterns that brought you to this place are going to make you very ill eventually, if you don't change them starting now. You are in the process of growing toward self-healing. And what a wondrous process that is! You must decide to do that yourself. It sounds like a negative realization. On the contrary, it will be one of the most freeing moments of wisdom you will ever feel. BECAUSE once you realize that your health is up to you and you alone, you are free to move toward healing. Control gives us the freedom to write our own destiny and dreams. That which we desire, control gives us a shot at. We want to be healthy and only WE ourselves can achieve that goal. No one can take that step to make us healthier. So by developing control functions, we better equip ourselves for the task of whipping our poor bodies into shape. How many times have you shaken your fist at the heavens, bemoaning your lack of willpower? Well, you dont have to do that any longer. Were going to toss the word willpower right out on its ear. Take a moment and examine the word willpower. Its meaning is clear. It is the power of your will. Many people have a problem narrowing down the word will. Will can mean many things, but when it all boils down, it is desire, wish, choice and determination. Your will is quite simply...CHOICE. You dont NEED willpower to lose weight. What you NEED is to make a choice. Once you've done that, simply bow to the incredible wisdom of that choice. ---------------------------------------------- About the author JLee Davis has been writing since high school. Through marriage and kids, ill-health and regaining it, she's kept on writing. After over thirty years, she's finding that the best things in life really are there for the taking.

Aromatherapy Candles For Better Health

2008-04-21T08:29:00.001-07:00

By Celia Namart Many people simply view aromatherapy candles as candles that make a room look and smell brighter than ordinary. But of course, a few people know better. Aromatherapy candles offer greater benefits than that and which youll learn as you read on. Common Benefits of Aromatherapy Candles Although there are many ways for aromatherapy candles to work for you, people generally rely on aromatherapy candles to provide them with the following effects: Invigoration People with busy schedules at work often have busier schedules at home.

Are You Fully Present in Your Marriage?

2008-04-20T05:15:00.001-07:00

By Nancy Wasson "Presence is more than just being there," states Malcolm S.Forbes. How true! Have you ever been talking with someone and felt that they were miles away even though they were sitting next to you? They might have appeared to be listening, but you could sense that they werent really mentally and emotionally present in the conversation. We all have moments when our mind wanders and we lose focus, but if this happens frequently, our relationships with others will be negatively affected. In a marriage, intimacy is enhanced by feelings of connection and harmed when partners start feeling disconnected. When a spouse is physically present but mentally out to lunch, the partner will feel the difference. Something important is missing, and what is missing is the spouses full attention to the conversation or activity. Often, the distracted spouse is feeling rushed, bored, impatient, or stressed. When that happens, the natural tendency is to constantly mentally leap ahead to the next items on the to do list. If this describes you, then you are missing the experience you are having right now because you are so focused on what youre gong to do next. By living in the future, you miss the present. Besides robbing yourself of the enjoyment of the current experience, you are also negatively impacting how others feel when they are around you. Ill make it up to him (or her) later, you may tell yourself as you rush through yet another conversation without really looking at your spouse closely or hearing whats really being said. In the mean time, the feeling of disconnection between the two of you grows and intensifies. One of the ways you can show respect and caring for your spouse is to give the gift of undivided attention. Likewise, you show respect and caring for yourself when you value connecting deeply with others, and that can only be accomplished in the Now. One of the best presents you can give others and yourself is to practice being fully present in your life. It takes practice and discipline to pull yourself back to the present moment when your mind jumps ahead into the future. Breaking any long-standing habit is difficult and can take weeks, even months, of practice. But the pay-off for learning to live more of your life consciously and with more awareness of the present moment is significant. Until you can learn to listen intently and focus your total attention on the other person, you are not connecting at the deepest, most intimate level. As Mary Catherwood observes, Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet. This is the tragedy that befalls many marriages. Follow these five tips to be more present when you interact with your spouse: 1. Stop what you are doing and look at your partner when he/she is talking to you. This shows respect and will make it easier to keep focused. 2. When your mind wanders, gently re-direct it back to the present moment. Take a deep breath to help you stay anchored and centered. 3. Ignore stray thoughts that flit across your mind, trying to distract you. If you dont give them attention, they wont hook you. 4. If you are too distracted to concentrate, tell your spouse, Its really important to me to focus on what youre saying, and I cant seem to concentrate right now. Could we schedule a time to talk later today? 5. Keep the bigger picture in mind. You are investing time and energy into creating satisfying intimacy with your spouse. Each interaction either adds a deposit to the intimacy piggy bank or makes a withdrawal from it. Nancy J.

Re-Gifting

2008-04-14T16:48:00.001-07:00

By Marilyn Mackenzie Re-gifting or the giving of a gift that you received to someone else is a topic that has been discussed on talk shows. It has been examined from the standpoint of whether or not its socially correct or part of good etiquette to recycle gifts that one is given. Personally, I do not wish to rehash those same arguments about whether re-gifting is a good or bad thing. Rather, I would like to offer a few pointers for those who propose to recycle gifts. We all know this practice does exist and will probably continue to exist. 1) Make sure you have unwrapped and thrown away the wrapping paper or decorative bag in which you received the gift in question. 2) Make sure you have thoroughly examined said gift for cracks or breaks or flaws. You certainly do not want to give a gift that is broken. 3) Attach a small sticky note to the gift with the name of the person who gave the gift to you, the date, the occasion, etc. You certainly never want to give a gift back to the person who first gave it to you! Also make sure you remove this sticky note before wrapping and giving the gift. You probably dont want the gifts recipient to know that you have recycled the gift. 4) Keep a place in your home (a closet, perhaps?) for gifts that you will recycle. 5) When you need a gift for someone, check your special re-gifting stash to see if there is something appropriate for the person for whom you need a gift. Do take the persons likes and dislikes into consideration. If your friend has allergies to strong smells, you would not want to be recycling a gift of perfume. If your friend only reads non-fiction books, you would not want to give her a fiction romance novel. If your family member never works with his hands, the gift of a few tools might not be the best choice. Remember, you dont want this gift to be recycled again and again, just because you have not done your research on what gift is best for your friend or family member. 6) Since you are saving money by not having to buy a gift, do make sure that your gift is attractively wrapped. Spend some money on good wrapping paper and bows! In todays world, we all need to think of ways to save money. The right methods of re-gifting can be one way of saving money. Just keep in mind that being frugal is not a bad thing, but being cheap is not so attractive. There really is a world of difference.

Marketing Breakthrough Method

2008-04-11T11:02:00.001-07:00

By Kenneth Little Your Marketing Breakthrough Method is ready for you to use. All you have to do is learn from the experience of one of the best marketers - online and offline. Seth Godin has written a unique book called "Ideavirus". He is a critic of Interruption Marketing (the traditional method) and a Champion of Permission Marketing (asking for the customers permission before presenting them with products). His idea was to make "Ideavirus" available as a free ebook which contained links where the reader could promote it to others. To develop a vast market in the quickest possible time Seth decide to give away his new ebook. In a short time he gave away more than 1,000,000 copies. He explained the secret to his breakthrough marketing method to critics who were quite sure he had gone mad. He believed, because of the quality of his ebook, that as well as downloading the free edition readers would purchase copies of the hard copy when it was released through Amazon. They would do this as they were so impressed with the content they purchased the hard copy and gave it to friends as a gift. Time has proved him right - big time. Sales of the hard copy have reached record levels. You can benefit greatly from this creative approach to marketing whenever you have a new book with a great message. Remember you can't copy his text - that's a breach of copyright and morally wrong, however you can copy his concept. Even as an unknown author - develop a great book, give it away and, encourage others to give it to as many friends as possible. You can make this your Marketing Breakthrough Method.

50 Things To Do To Your Boss That Are Fun For You, But Not For Them

2008-04-09T06:25:00.001-07:00

By Dawnell Harrison 1. Youre eavesdropping and you hear your boss has reservations at his favorite restaurant. You know, the one you cant afford. Call them back and cancel his reservations say youre his wife. 2. Have a friend of yours make an anonymous call to your boss saying that they know what he has been up to, possess incriminating pictures, and hang up. It will scare the bejesus out of him. 3. Put chocolate ex-lax in your managers chocolate licorice. Not only will you feel better, it may wipe that constipated look off of his face too. 4. Call the local Mormon or Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints church and ask that they visit your house soon, only give them your managers home address. 5. Every time your boss asks you a question, just look at him and say interesting and go back to what you were working on. 6. Take your eyeliner and smears it in his chair when hes not looking. His wife will feel needed when she has to heartily scrub and wash his pants. 7. Turn the pictures on his desk upside down and act overly sweet and innocent when he asks if you know why they are like that. 8. When your boss goes to the bathroom, turn his computer off. When he asks you if you know what happened, say that you dont and it must have just crashed or something. Smile like the Cheshire cat. 9. Enlist a friend to deliver papers appearing to be legal documents that insinuate he is being sued for 4 million dollars. Put word joke on the last page of the 20-page document. It will be fun to watch beads of sweat form on his brow. 10. Remove all toilet paper from the mens bathroom and put it in the womens. Shake your head in disapproval of the janitorial help in your office when your boss complains about it. 11. Put your boss on all of the mailing lists of his most detested organizations and clubs. When he asks you to call and have them remove him from the lists, say of course, and never do it. 12. Replace the vodka in the liquor cabinet with water. Youre doing him a favor, really you are. When he comments that his vodka tastes like water, respond smartly by saying that it appears that just about everyone is cutting corners these days. 13. When he comments that the coffee is too weak or too strong, ask, in a serious tone, if he is sure that his taste buds havent changed. 14. When your boss mentions a particular food that he does not like, purchase that item repeatedly and eat it in front of him. Put your garbage from that food into his garbage can, so that the smell will linger in his office. 15. When you arrive late, move all clocks back. When you want to leave early, move all clocks forward. Pretend that all the batteries need to be replaced. 16. When your boss inquires about your weekend, say you went sky diving and to Italy. He will hopefully get your sarcasm and not ask again. 17. When your manager inquires as to what your favorite TV show is, reply that it is a childs show like Sesame Street. Say it like you mean it. 18. Out of the blue, say you have an emergency appointment with your astrologer and it is important that you leave now because your charts are waiting! 19. For your managers birthday, hire a palm reader to read your managers palm. Pay them an extra $50 to say Oh My in the middle of the reading and not be able to continue. 20. Grind up leaves from your backyard that look like pot, put into a baggie, and send it to your boss. Stand there while he opens it and gasp when the contents are revealed. Say it is none of my business and walk out of the room. 21. Call the fire department and pretend you are in the office next door to yours and exclaim there is a massive inferno in the building next to yours. It is guaranteed to raise your managers blood pressure a few points or more when the firemen arrive. 22. Time your manager when he goes out to run personal errands and comment that he took an exceptionally long break when he returns. 23. Run into the office exclaiming to your manager that his car has a huge dent in the side! Walk outside with him when he goes out to examine it. After he looks it over thoroughly and asks you what you saw because he cant see it, apologize that it must have just been the way the light was reflecting on it that made it appear that way. 24. Exclaim how sorry you are that your managers grandmother died over the weekend and that you read about it in the obituaries. Declare that it must have been somebody with the same name when he says he has no idea what you are talking about and begins frantically dialing his grandmother. 25. Superglue two middle pages of your managers favorite book and return to the shelf. He will find it after the glue has permanently set. 26. When you are simply not in the mood to get out of your chair, proclaim that the copier is broken when your boss asks for copies to be made. If your manager attempts to make copies on his own and exclaims it works just fine, jam a paper clip in the innards of the copy machine when nobody is looking. 27. When your boss asks you what you would like for secretaries day, first of all, reply that you are not a secretary. Request that he answers the phone on that day as well as having all of your whims fulfilled that are of inconceivable proportions. 28. Using desktop publishing, relabel a can of bug spray as vanilla air freshener and place in mens bathroom. 29. Call in sick and leave a message on the companys voice mail. State that you are ill due to the overwhelming imbalance of wealth and power within the companys structure and your illness should subside once you are paid what you are worth. 30. When your boss asks for a donation to his sons little league fund, ask what the minimum amount is that you can donate in order to keep your job. 31. When your boss invites you to the company Christmas party, matter-of-factly state that youd prefer to spend it with rabid dogs and wild monkeys, but proclaim your sincere thanks just the same. 32. Stockpile in your office your managers favorite type of pen so that he is constantly bewildered as to where they are disappearing and continues to order new boxes of pens repeatedly. 33. During your yearly review, exclaim that you would just like to discuss your raise and not your managers suggestions or comments. Also, add that you do have a list of improvements for him that youd like to share. 34. Find bosss buttons and push them. If it is his weight, ask if he has gained weight or do those clothes just make him look fat? 35. Announce at the next company birthday (cake eating in the lunchroom) that the boss is giving everyone a 10% raise. When your manager pulls you into his office to discuss this, say that he sure is losing his sense of humor in his old age. 36. Stack all incoming unwanted sales related faxes and printed e-mails on your managers desk and connect all sales related calls to him, especially the stock brokers. When your manager comments that he would like you to screen all sales related material and calls, comment that you thought he was open to new ideas and new people and didnt realize he was so introverted. 37. After next company announcement of a marriage or pregnancy, proclaim that you are getting married and having a child, but not necessarily in that order. 38. When company phone bill gets passed around asking you to highlight your personal calls, always state that you would never do that and never highlight anything. Say your family and friends all reside in Tasmania. 39. As soon as your boss returns from a vacation, ask where he went and always state that you vacationed there a few years ago and how fantastic it was. 40. Five minutes into the weekly company meeting, excuse yourself to go to the restroom and return twenty minutes later when it is wrapping up. 41. When the boss is out of town, forward the phones to your house and take a nap. Run back to the office if something needs to be done. 42. Position a cup of coffee on your managers desk so that when he sits down, you can pretend to fumble for papers on his desk and easily knock it onto his lap. State that you hope it isnt hot and that no third degree burns are inflicted. 43. If you are single, place your grandmothers antique diamond ring on your married finger on the left hand. When boss asks you if anything new has happened to you recently after he clearly notices your ring, state nonchalantly no, not really. If you are married, remove your wedding ring and state the same answer when asked the same question. 44. On casual dress day, wear a bathing suit top and the shortest shorts that you own. When you are called into your bosss office to discuss this, ask for a list that defines the parameters of the casual dress day code. 45. Circulate an anonymous memo that this coming Friday is fetish day so dress appropriately. Add that a $100 prize will be awarded to the freakiest costume. 46. After your boss gives you an overwhelmingly long list of items for you to complete, ask if hed like for you to wipe his ass as well. 47. Take items out of your managers sack lunch. When he comments on this phenomenon, reply that society is degenerating at an unbelievable rate. 48. When you manager asks you how your day is going, be honest. Say, well, if people that worked for this company werent so dysfunctional and psychotic, it might be a marginally average place of employment. 49. When your boss says good morning, quickly reply, Oh is it? 50. Once a week, send an anonymous email to your boss that is spiteful in nature. To kick it off, the first one should simply read, you are pond scum.

Dates in the Spring: More or Less?

2008-04-07T23:55:00.001-07:00

By Bernadette Sukley Trust scientists to stick their noses into our private business and private parts. Theyve even torn apart love and boiled it down to its basic chemical components (can you say pheromones?). Heres the truth behind the lore of spring love. Due to the northern hemisphere winter there's a pattern of light and dark that our bodies cannot ignore. Melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleepiness and hibernation is naturally elevated during winter. Come spring, the hormone's levels fall with exposure to longer hours of daylight. The levels of the hormone, serotonin, responsible for feeling good rise. Since melatonin suppresses libido, once it falls theres a renewed interest in sex. Thus an aura of happiness is in the air. Naturally all the male animals check out the female animals coming out of hibernation. Spring is also the time that marks the beginning of a new life cycle; trees and plants blossom. Baby animals; fawns, lambs and the ever so popular rabbits make their appearance. This abundance of life increases interest in fertility. The Oh-my-gosh-summer-is-almost-here! syndrome. An increase in sunlight also means most women realize that they will be revealing portions of their bodies that were kept under cover for about 3 months. Theyve naturally added a few pounds over winter. Why? Because they were lazy and ate too much? Hardly. Again, hormones are to blame. Metabolism slows down caloric burn, so even the most careful of eaters will note theres some extra padding. With the warmer weather these ladies will frantically take to the outdoors to lose weight. An opportunity to test the waters of love also occurs as a preliminary warm up to summer love. Lastly, weather is a huge factor for spring and love. Spring marks the beginning of more sunlight and warmer temperatures. Since the body performs best at temperatures above 55F, all functions go into ready mode. That includes gathering, hunting, catching and er, sex. When temperatures rise in the summer the human body goes into a hot hibernation and bodily functions slow down. Youll note that for most resorts and vacation spots Spring is the beginning of their busy season. More time to play means, more time to date. Bernadette Sukley is a freelance writer with an eye towards the quirky. Her work has appeared in Sports Illustrated for Women, ABROAD and Prevention.com. Trying to find that oddball fact? Or just love the unique? She does too.

Bringing Clients in the Door: How Professionals Can Encourage Business

2008-04-06T01:32:00.001-07:00

By Sharon Drew Morgen Youre a professional either a doctor, or a dentist, or an artist. Maybe youre an independent sales person who works on commission, or a speaker who must sell yourself. You might even be a B-C business whose product depends on a product or service youve developed. Youve been trained well; you went to a professional school, or positioned yourself as an expert, and youre very good at what you do. And now youve gone into business to give others the opportunity to pay you to do what you do best. You rent space, hire staff, take out a loan possibly a very large loan to populate your office with the best: technology, staff, ambiance. And a few of your friends come in as your first clients. And then you wait for others to walk in the door. And you wait. Youre not a business person and youve not been taught the fine art of marketing. Not to mention that its embarrassing to have to tell others how good you are and that they should pay you because youre good. Hi. Im Joe Smith. Im the new doc in town. You oughta come in and see me. Im really good and Ill take good care of you. When can I expect you? Ive got time to see you, um, all day today, and, um, well, whenever you want to come in I could make time for you. When are you coming in? WHY CONVENTIONAL SALES DOESNT WORK IN THE PROFESSIONAL MARKET Part of the problem is that sales has been based on some rendition of a push strategy, or the newly coined approach of a relationship (which does nothing more than try to have the prospect like you), and of course all of your competitors are doing the same thing. But the model as we've known it is inefficient. Statistically, the very model brings in no more than 7% of its target (obviously leaving a 93% failure rate). Following the conventional sales model, youd have to sell your services by influencing/convincing/persuading folks that you are better than your competitors, that you are to be trusted, that you are price competitive, and that the buyer needs you and your product. And, whatever else they based their decision on. Indeed, that is the problem: who knows what buyers base their decisions on? They do. Only the client knows the criteria to fix or change something. Its been a fallacy, all these years, to believe that because the vendor (you, in this case) can understand the problem (and you do! You do!), and your product can solve their problem (you can! You can!), that your product is a natural fit and that of course you are the best vendor. But only those who live inside the problem have the capacity to understand the problem and resolve it. While a solution may look obvious to you as an outsider, it isnt obvious at all to them. Theyve had the problematic issues, along with a certain set of givens and expectations and work-arounds, in place for a long time; it feels normal to them. And until/unless they are willing and able to do something different, they wont change. At the end of the day, you will never fully understand the clients criteria, or system, or viewpoint, or set of systems that hold the problem in place; and you cant know their criteria for making a change or for using you over their current provider (and everyone has some sort of provider). When I moved here to Austin, I obviously had to change my long term dental providers. After working with a new periodontist for a while, he suggested a regular dentist for a cap I needed. Of course I went on his recommendation. But as I sat in the chair with a numb mouth filled with dental paraphernalia, this guy began telling me about his political convictions which were very, very opposite to mine, and frankly, offensive to me. Next. Was his care good? Probably. Was he a nice guy? Um well, maybe. But Im a highly political animal and couldnt abide by political opinions being spouted at me when I was helpless to object. He had no idea what my criteria were. In fact, he was actually surprised when he called me months later to get my ongoing business and I told him no. Its not about the product. Its not about how wonderful you are. Its about the internal systems the beliefs, the tangle of relationships and policies and historic remedies and people issues and and and. HOW DO WE FIND THE RIGHT CLIENTS? Given you know your craft but may not have the same level of savvy to garner all of the patients or clients that you deserve, how indeed do you get the business to come in the door? Remember: its not about you. Remember that its about how the client makes their best decision. Your job is to help your clients decide to work with you. Here are some ideas that might help. Pick the right ones for you: send out a monthly newsletter with an article of interest. Make sure you mention a new product or service that you have somewhere in the newsletter, but ensure there are articles of interest written by you and other colleagues. This makes you an authority and keeps you top of mind for when your client/prospect can make a new decision. Of course, the article itself might help people decide to come in. contact colleagues in adjacent industries (like periodontists if youre a dentist) and arrange some form of referencing model so you both help each other get business. Getting a referral from a current provider is a great help in the decision process. hold monthly lunch sessions that teach aspects of your business to prospects/clients. Either do it yourself or invite some of your business partners (see #2) to speak some of the time. That will bring in their clients to meet you, help them highlight their skills so they can get new business also, and will offer your current clients new data. write interesting articles in local magazines. This will get you natural press. write interesting articles in e-zines that your client base might read or that will get you local notice. hire someone to call your current clients to find out how you are doing; have them tell you what you can do better, what theyd like to see that they currently dont get from you, and mention youd like a referral if they would feel comfortable doing that. Use facilitative questions like: What would you need to see from us to ensure you get all of your needs met? What would that look like for you? What would you need to see from us to feel comfortable recommending us to a friend? give your current clients 50% off on X if they send a referral. This will not only get you a new client but will ensure that you keep your current client base. Its easier to keep current clients then it is to get new ones. set up a website. Have a page for each of your services, and have links to your business partners/colleagues (see #2). Have your newsletters accessible, and have links to other authorities who are affiliated with your work. Make it a site that your clients or prospects can come to meet you, and determine that youre a professional. By the way, make your site stand for who you are: make your personality shine through. For example, I have 2 main sites: one is to introduce my Buying Facilitation Method, and its mainstream looking to make a large number of people comfortable with a revolutionary idea. My keynote site is creative, flowing, powerful, and fun: this introduces my character as a speaker very different from an information based site as my other one is. These ideas should get you started. Just remember to stay open and flexible to whatever will be necessary to have people decide that you will be part of the solution they need to embrace to solve their problem. Good luck.

10 Great First Date Tips

2008-04-04T23:39:00.001-07:00

By Kathleen MacNaughton Dating can be tough and first dates can be painful. Boy, do I remember! Ive been in a committed relationship for several years now, but I can still recall some of the disastrous first dates I had in the past. Of course, the important thing is to be yourself and not to try too hard. I know, I know, easier said than done. And nerves are to be expected. But there are some positive ways to get through that first date and even to make it a resounding success. Just follow this list of dating tips to start your dating experiences out the right way! Meet your date out at the spot where your date will be and drive yourself there. That way, if you decide you want to bail out early on this first date, you won't be trapped. Also, if things do work out, you can completely avoid the issue of whether to invite your date in or not at your door. Also when you have your own car, there will be less need to worry about safety; for example, your date will not know where you live. Keep the date simple and fairly short. That way, you won't lock yourself in to a long day or evening of multiple stages that you aren't enjoying. If things go well on this first date, you can always extend it by adding on more activities on the fly. Or you can just agree to repeat the experience the next day. Be the one to end the date first. Leave them guessing and wanting more. There's no need to end the date abruptly or rudely; just make your excuses at a reasonable stopping point and then stick to it. Dress carefully and conservatively for the first date. Remember, your first date knows very little about the person you are. He or she will take you at face value and you don't want to give the wrong impression before he or she has a chance to get to know you. Wear clothing that you are comfortable and confident in. First dates are uncomfortable enough, without a tight belt biting you around the waist or a low cut top having to constantly be tugged up or pulled closed. If you are planning the date, be specific about where you are going. This will make the date more comfortable for both of you, and will prevent the other person from wearing inappropriate dress for the planned activity/venue. Save the surprises for when you know each other better! Ask lots of probing questions about your date to show your interest in him or her. The most interesting dates tend to be those who listen more than they talk about themselves. Great topics to start with are work, hobbies, sports, and family. For best results on this first date, I'd advise you to avoid discussing politics, religion, or any other controversial topics. Go easy on the perfume or after shave. The point is to be alluring, but not offensive. And many people are allergic to scents, so be considerate. Pay strict attention to your personal hygiene. Don't forget to brush your teeth and use mouthwash before you go out. Dab on the deodorant or antiperspirant spray. Clean/file your fingernails. Go all out... this IS the first date, after all! If your date involves a meal or snack of some kind, don't order sloppy food. The last thing you want to do is drip your food all down your front or into your lap! If you are not paying for what you order, try to stay in the middle range of the menu. This is not the time to take advantage of your date. Follow these 10 simple rules and your first date is much more likely to go well. So get out there... and have fun! Kathleen MacNaughton is an accomplished freelance author and internet entrepreneur.

Is a Personal Ad the Right Choice for You?

2008-04-03T08:52:00.001-07:00

By Mike Freemen The internet has brought a great deal of wonderful things to our lives, and in our personal lives much has changed as well. In our personal lives, the computer has allowed us to catch up with old friends from school, reconnect with former coworkers, and even to rekindle romances with old flames. One of the first ways the internet was used was to place personal ads and allow people with common interests to meet each other, and dating and personal sites continue to be incredibly popular with many internet users from around the world. One reason that internet person ads are so popular and so effective is that they are able to sort out those who would not be good matches. Think about it this way when you meet someone in a bar or a club, you know nothing about that person. You do not know what they do for a living, how old they are, whether or not they have ever been married, if they have kids, etc. It takes time to learn all this, and in the end the promising match you just made may turn out to be wholly inappropriate. When you look online for personal romance, on the other hand, you can be specific about what you are looking for. If you do not want to meet those who smoke, you can sort them out with a simple filter. If you would rather not meet a person with kids at home you can eliminate that as well. You can be as specific as you want when placing or reading a personal ad, and the idea is that the personal ad will give you some information to go on before you actually meet the person. And we all know that personal ads online do work for many people. Many of those who have used personal ads have meet their soul mates, and many marriages have taken place as a result. In addition, many lasting friendships have been developed as a result of personal ads, and the internet has allowed people from around the world to meet and talk as if they were in the same room. Whether you are looking for a long term relationship, a sports partner or just a friend, a well written and honest personal ad may just be the right choice for you. Personal ads are not the right choice for everyone, of course, but many people have found them more effective than they ever would have imagined.

Payday Loan Information Guide

2008-04-01T06:48:00.001-07:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mansi_Aggarwal]Mansi Aggarwal Payday loan is the best friend of a man when he is badly in need of money but just doesnt have it. Payday loan is the fastest and hottest way to acquire cash. Basically a payday loan provides you with an unsecured, short-term cash advance until your payday. Payday loans are the ideal way to acquire money in case of any uninformed expense such as a car repair bill, an instant costly trip, check bounces, other penalties, an accident, death or such unfortunate happening in the family and so forth. For many people payday loans are a means to pay off their monthly rent, grocery bills, utilities and other such day-to-day expenses. Payday loan is recognized by various names such as cash advance loan, check advance loan or as a post-dated check loan. In terms of the Federal Trade Commission payday loans are known as costly cash. But whatever the name may be the fact remains that at present payday loans are the hottest way to acquire instant cash. Countless people across the world believe that payday loans are perfect because of the convenience to qualify for the loan, fast approvals and least amount of paperwork in comparison to other financing avenues. Day by day a surge is witnessed in the number of people and the extent to which they are availing the payday loan option. According to a recent survey most consumers utilize the payday loan service around eight to ten times in a year. Also the additional and beneficial services offered by the payday loan companies add to the enticement of these loans. One of the current advantages of payday loans is that these can be obtained online even. For instance Cashproceeds.com lately ventured into this area and announced its easy to qualify for, online cash advance and payday loan service. Consequently people in any part of the world can apply online and acquire immediate cash to meet their needs. Applying for a payday loan consists of filling an application form asking personal details, occupational information, current banking and requisite financial information and references too. At times bank statements for last few months are also asked for. If in the last two months you have incurred lot many NSF i.e. non-sufficient fund then your loan request is liable to be rejected. The online money lending companies require you to have a current job that has lasted for three consecutive months along with at least a net take home for $800 and a valid checking account functioning from minimum three months. Your bank statements and related information is important because this builds your credibility in front of the online payday lender. The Tele-track system that these lenders use verifies your banking history information like checking your account, number of NSFs and running outstanding payday loans. So if someone plans to betray by filling in wrong information, the money lending online organization can easily catch hold of the deceit. After going through your details and verifying them the payday lender decides the amount of payday loan that usually does not exceed $1500. However due to the high interest rates, the payday loans are not a prudent option in the long run. So it is better not to rely much on them.

Health Savings Account Brokerage

2008-03-30T02:35:00.001-07:00

By Milos Pesic As required by the Federal law, contributions to health savings account brokerage are a must. It is held by an authorized custodian where it can be deposited in any certified HSA administrator which is apart from the insurance company underwriting the policy. Each of those that handle health savings account brokerage provides various features such as having a different fee schedule. There are also those that only offer reserves statement options while there are those have it in compact discs, joint subsidy or comprehensive assistance. If you think that paying a high price will satisfy your expectations, think again since nowadays, practicality is very much important. Fees that are low play a significant deliberation until such time that an ample amount of money has been accumulated. In health savings account brokerage, there are two schemes that are for free such as American Chartered Bank and Fayetteville Bank. American Chartered Bank is responsible for taking care of most of the records through phone, online or mail. There are also local branches that accept walk- in customers such as the one in Illinois. Its set- up fee, closing fee, minimum opening deposit, monthly fee and annual fee are all without any charge.
Fayetteville Bank is located in the central community of the state of Texas. All of their set- up fee, closing fee, monthly fee and annual fee are at no cost except for the minimum opening deposit of $50. The most recognized among its customers when it comes health savings account brokerage are HSA Bank, HSA Trustee Services and HSA Resources. HSA Bank is definitely a wise preference for an individual who is searching for investment options while HSA remainder is stabilized at a low rate. At the same time, it also provides that option of storing in thousands of other reserved vehicles that is granted by Ameritrade Corporate Services. It also has free debit card for the holder and another for their Power of Attorney. HSA Trustee Services is another astute choice for a person who wants the simplicity as well as the ease of online banking so that as you are connected to the internet, you can conveniently check the money you have in the bank. There are also complete investment alternatives and no hassle of thinking about monthly fines.
HSA Resources is dedicated to create a convenience to as many Americans as possible. It was founded by two lawyers where their goal is to make an opening, managing and accessing the HSA rewarding. They staunchly back up the principle of providing its clients more control in the manner their patrons deem best. This is in the hope of helping make a prime method to pay for the HSA in the future with IRA expertise.

Teen Fitness, Teen Health and College Health: Simple Changes to a Healthier You

2008-03-29T10:12:00.001-07:00

By Matt Elder Teen health, teen fitness and college health is everywhere you look. Teen health is on TV, articles are written about college health (hello, Freshman 15) and long-term studies are done on teen fitness. However, all exercising aside (dont get me wrong, exercising is crucial to teen health and teen fitness) the main reason teen health and college health is so bad is in cafeterias everywhere. Its very PC to be concerned with teen health and teen fitness. It is great publicity for superintendents, principals and deans everywhere to talk about teen fitness and college health. They put Band Aids on a severed artery. Concerned with teen health and teen fitness? Then the high school (some, unfortunately not all) will add a salad bar. And, usually its filled with brown greens stale veggies, etc. Not exactly the way to attack the teen health and teen fitness crisis in the country. Concerned with college health? The university adds an all-you-can-eat deli buffet (where sandwiches can be as artery-clogging as a Big Mac) for a healthier alternative. And universities concerned with college health also add the salad bar right next to the pizza, French fries and hamburgers. Teen health, teen fitness and college health all start with education. It's so bad that we took an adult disease, Diabetes, and our terrible teen health and teen fitness has made a youth version of it (Type II Diabetes). Bad teen health and teen fitness has created a new disease! Think about that for a minute. To really get to the root of teen health and college health, the students need to be educated on teen fitness in general, but we need to get back to the basics. Everyone, theoretically, knows that McDonalds and Burger King wont help out teen fitness. But do they really know the possible long-term damage? Thin kids cant see how bad their hearts are. Most overweight kids know something about teen fitness and college health (like, for example, McDonalds being bad for you) but tons still dont. How many overweight teens do you see chowing down a Big Mac? Too many dont understand enough about college health and teen health. Make simple changes to change teen health and teen fitness. Rome wasnt built in a day, and it took the teen over a decade to get overweight. They wont lose it overnight. If you are really concerned with college health and teen fitness, then make small changes to start off like switching to a low fat dressing, eating chicken instead of beef, diet soda instead of regular, and lowering your portions of carbs. These small changes will improve teen health, teen fitness and college health drastically. And these changes are nothing more than tiny alterations.

Building Strong Relationships With Youth

2008-03-27T10:13:00.001-07:00

By Josh Goh The Most Important Thing No matter what your youth program is doing, how youre engaging youth or what your youth development model and plan are, there is one thing that will make or break your program. If you want to make a difference in the lives of youth, it all starts from the foundation of a strong friendship. This is key. Youth dont care what you know until they know that you care. Youth dont care about your qualifications, how snazzy your dressing is, how knowledgeable you are about the issues theyre facing, how funny your jokes are, how interesting your third nipple is (well maybe). The fact is, even if you think youre the most uncool, lame, boring youth worker, if you have a heart for youth and genuinely care for them, thats going to outshine everything else youre doing in your program. Remember that youth are people and if you really want to impact them, you have to focus on people above programs. Dont ever forget: youth dont care what you know until they know that you care. Starting your youth program from that foundation will revolutionize the way you think, the way you talk to and the way you work with youth. More is Caught than Taught Many people who work with youth make the mistake of starting out the relationship with their youth with the motive of wanting them to change for the better. Sadly, what happens is they end up feeling guilty or less worthy and inevitably, the relationship breaks down. Rather, start the relationship with your youth out with the motive of wanting to be a supportive friend, giving them room to grow and develop. Let your own life and values speak louder than your words. Dont preach or enforce your value system onto the youth, rather, be a role model and lead by example. Then youll start to see real change and have a lasting impact in their lives. More is caught than taught. You may ask, Josh, then what do we DO? Theres got to be some curriculum or lesson plan or some tools we can use to build character. Youth will grow depending on their environment. Its like putting fertilizer in a plant in a musty apartment with hardly any sunlight and using the best fertilizer as opposed to placing it in good sunlight ample ventilation with no fertilizer. Your curriculum is like the fertilizer. Granted, you may have the best curriculum or tool kit in the world, but without the relationship and the love, its unlikely youll expect growth. On the flip side, if you have a great relationship with your youth, given time, theres no question youll see growth. Sure, curriculums and tools and great lessons can help the growth but they dont mean squat without the relationship. Key learning point: more is caught than taught. Spending Time So how do you show that you love and care for this younger person you hope to impact? Theres got to be something practical and concrete you can do. Simply put, youth spell L-O-V-E as T-I-M-E. The time you take, the special moments you share, all that hanging out with them speaks volumes. They are not looking for another parent or another teacher, theyre looking for friends, someone they can talk to, someone they can trust, someone to just be there. We will continue this series with our next step to Building a Strong Relationship With Youth with some simple things you can do with youth. Key Learning Points: Youth dont care what you know until they know that you care. More is caught than taught Youth spell L-O-V-E as T-I-M-E Joshua has more than 10 years of experience working with youths and currently works for PromiseWorks as their Head of Mentorship and co-created an online resource site, http://www.YouthDevelopmentResources.com. He has a unique perspective from that of a young person who is both a protg in a mentoring relationship and also responsible for promoting mentoring for PromiseWorks. His primary passion in life is to create awareness about mentoring within Singapore, develop mentorship programs including content development, working with mentors as volunteers, and ensuring that PromiseWorkss mentoring program remains relevant to youth in Singapore. Realizing he was spending more time searching for or developing effective youth resources than he was spending time with the youth, he and his mentor Ken Sapp co-created Youth Development Resources, http://www.YouthDevelopmentResources.com to cater to this need.

Unique Bridal Shower and Wedding Party Favors

2008-03-25T08:49:00.001-07:00

By Joe Palladino Preparing for a wedding is a time of celebration and memories. The tradition of giving guest favors or small gifts lives on as a way to thank them for sharing in your special day. Some favors are used as part of the wedding decorations and then taken home by the guests at the end of the reception. Other favors are useful items that will give the guests something they will use over and over and with each use will remind them of your wedding. Some of the most popular favors are candy, usually packaged creatively. Choosing a favor can be difficult, but if you figure out what type of favor you would like it can make it easier. Giving favors a double meaning by using them as part of the decorations saves money and space. Table toppers such as candles, flowers, and glasses will be incorporated into the table decorations. Items like these can be personalized with the couple's names and wedding date to make them a treasured keepsake. Some other decoration favor ideas include mini salt and pepper shakers, origami animals, and napkin rings. All of these will help add to the table decor and then be easily taken by the guests when they leave. Another idea that has been showing up at recent weddings is what is called a breakaway centerpiece. These centerpieces are made up of the individual favors. Usually they are either gift wrapped boxes stacked or small vases with flowers clustered together. You can use your imagination. Using favors as decorations will help you to get two things done at once. You will be able to give your guests a nice gift while also saving yourself some hassle. Guests always appreciate a wedding favor they can use again and again. These favors can also be personalized to reflect the couples names and wedding date. To save money you can go to wholesalers that supply businesses with promotional items. These are usually things that are useful and you are sure to find something that will tie into your wedding. You could find pairs of chopsticks, paperweights, notepads, bookmarks or keyrings in the wholesale catalogs. Other useful items include wine bottle stoppers, candles, soaps, tea bags, mugs or small plants. Try to find something that will be of use to your guests as well as look good with your reception decorations. Food items are on of the easiest wedding favors you can give. It is simple and inexpensive to buy candy or nuts in bulk, then put them in simple packages to give your guests. You will find guests like food items because it is something they can use and also something that will not need a special place in their home. Some gifts, like plants, can require work that your guests may not want to do. Candy or nuts is something that will show your appreciation and bring a little joy to your guests. You can use creative packaging and the actual colors of the candies/nuts to tie them into your wedding decorations. Food favors are always welcome and easy to do. Choosing favors for your wedding only add to the many choices you have to make. It doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming if you try to keep it simple. Make your favors part of the decor, something useful or a food item. Sticking to easy favors will help eliminate large amounts of time and money being spent on them allowing you to focus on other things.

Russian Gold-Diggers

2008-03-23T06:06:00.001-07:00

By John Kunkle If you find a beautiful Russian woman, who is thirty years younger than you, who tells you that she is desperately in love with you after you just met her for the first time last night, you should be a little suspicious. The overwhelming majority of Russian women seeking husbands abroad are honest in their intentions. They want to have a reliable partner, happy family life, and a stable future. They are not going to marry a man just to divorce him in a couple of years after they get to where they want to go. However, you must be aware that there are a few barracudas out there who are willing to take advantage of your sincerity. To avoid an unhappy experience, use your common sense. For some reason, some men who are shrewd in business, enough to amass a small fortune, seem to check their brain at the hatcheck counter when they come to Russia. Men are always shocked when a gold-digger takes advantage of them. A close examination of their behavior frequently yields the following observations: They often act like big shots, throwing money around, dating women thirty years younger, bragging about their accomplishments to impress the women they meet. They are like peacocks that try to display their plumage in order to attract a mate. When they meet a gold-digger, they are surprised, even though money is exactly what they were advertising. Then they act victimized by the innocent looking girl who took advantage of their offer. All men are guilty of this at times. Let me make some recommendations: Dont brag or exaggerate about your personal circumstances. She will find out the truth as soon as she gets to your home. If You Lead With Your Chin, It Makes It Easy For Someone To Take A Punch At You. I sometimes think that when a man says that he has been taken advantage of by a gold-digger, that this kind of circumstance did not happen by mistake. As the old saying goes, hockey players and chess players dont hang out together. There are all kinds of people that are out there in the dating world. There are women that are jerks and there are men that are jerks. I have heard stories of men who are addicted to the tours because of the gigantic ego stroke it gives them. They take advantage of the ten to one ratio of single women to single men at the social to bolster their self-image. They like to feel superior to the local population of Russians because of their relative economic superiority. They brag about themselves and throw money around to impress others because of their low self-esteem. They toy with womens hopes and aspirations to get married without being really serious about commitment. They pick the most gorgeous runway model they can find to parade as a trophy wife, or arm candy, in front of their friends. A guy like that probably deserves a gold digger a woman who is his moral or spiritual counterpart. Elena Petrova tell this story: A professor from an American university told me that he met a couple of men on board a plane to Russia who flew there for a "marriage tour". He characterized them as "bad". He said they were arrogant, obviously had problems with health, and were drinking too much. One of them complained that he was previously married to a Russian woman but she left him a year after the marriage. The professor said he felt sorry - for the woman -- because she had stayed with this man for the whole year. He said that he would have run away from him in a couple of days if he was her. And this guy was intending to find another lady for marriage in Russia - again, twenty to thirty years younger. The other male specimen who gets taken advantage of by gold-diggers is the ones that literally are mentally or socially challenged. They either dont have a brain, or dont use it, or they are three nuts short of a candy bar. John has been married to a Russian woman for over five years. He has travelled the path from finding her, to traveling to Russia, to bring his wife to America, and adjusting to married life. He will show you step by step how to do this yourself.

Best Bass Fishing Flies

2008-03-19T20:36:00.001-07:00

By Christine Harrell Bass are ravenous eaters and are known to eat prey up to half of their own length. Because bass swallow their prey whole, the size of bass fishing flies must be smaller than the width of the bass mouth. Being hungry predators, they usually seek out the largest prey they can find that will fit into their mouths. The movement of the fishing fly is critical to attracting the bass. Bass quickly jump at the chance to swallow anything moving, but also regularly spit out a would-be meal, perhaps due to the taste or texture. When bass fishing, its important to use fishing flies with a strategic design and hook position. In this article, youll read about our top picks for bass fishing flies: Deer Hair Popper: Deer Hair Poppers are often referred to as the original fishing flies. Before the tying of fishing flies was commercialized in America, Native Americans bundled feathers and hair to create fishing flies to attract bass. These fishing flies are meant to float and wriggle on the surface and gain the attention of the bass lingering just a few feet below. Thinking it terrestrial bug caught helplessly in the water, the bass normally cant resist such an easy meal. Deer Hair Mouse: Very large bass have been known to swallow baby ducklings and other waterfowl to satisfy their voracious appetite. While not all bass reach a size where they can take in such a large snack, most large bass can and will find a mouse a tasty treat. Deer Hair Mouse fishing flies are a tackle box staple for any bass fisher. Mice often take residence near the riverside and it only takes a slip or a strong win to render them helpless in the water. The body of this fishing fly is made of course deer hair tied around a large hook with a long flexible tail to attract the bass as it swishes through the water. Swimming Frog: A frog is a delectable meal and a temptation that a hungry bass can rarely resist. Swimming frog fishing flies are designed to imitate the movements of the frog while swimming along the surface of the water. The swimming frog is also made of deer hair and is colored in various shades of green. These fishing flies work well in areas where frogs naturally take residence like around lily pads and other water plants. Matuka Sculpin: The olive colored matuka sculpin is a great fishing fly to use in streams with algae or weed covered bottoms. These fishing flies normally come in a gold option for lighter colored riverbeds and are made from deer hair and turkey quill. The sculpin is a small fish that lives in camouflage against the river bottom. These fishing flies need to be fast sinking and heavy enough to stay down and not float off the bottom. The best bass fishing occurs when water temperatures are between 68 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Any hotter or colder and feeding tends to slow down considerably. With the right weather, the right fishing flies, and a little luck, a bass fishing trip can be one of the most satisfying fishing trips of the year.

How Your New Russian Wife Thinks About Your Roommates

2008-03-16T14:53:00.001-07:00

By John Kunkle One of the biggest sources of problems between Russian women and American men that I have heard about are roommates. You know the guy you share the house with -- your renter, your brother, your twenty five year old cousin who cant seem to support himself. Well, your roommate is a smoking gun. When your Russian fianc gets to America, she is going to take over the house. Its her house now. Thats the way Russian women are raised. That couch potato, laying on the sofa in front of the ever present football game, surrounded by dirty socks and empty pizza boxes is public enemy number one in the mind of your fianc. Even if his personal habits are not that reprehensible, he will still be in the way. She is trying to organize the house in her fashion and his idiosyncrasies dont fit into her plan. From his standpoint, shes just a big pain in the rear. He didnt ask her to come. Hes comfortable in his lifestyle. His life may be in a rut, but he has moved in and furnished it to his satisfaction. You have learned to tolerate him over time. The two of you have developed a peaceful co-existence that allows you to live together. But now theres a new sheriff in town.
Your fianc has just gotten out the can of pesticide and is fumigating the place for parasites. And the biggest pest is the one with his butt cheeks pressed against the seat cushions of the sofa right in the middle of the house. Hes hard to ignore. Your roommate will probably fight back. He will say things to undermine your fianc. Your fianc will eventually tell you either he goes or I go and she will mean it. You are in the middle and you feel like the victim. Youre not. Its all your fault. Get rid of your roommate before she arrives. I know all the arguments. He helps with the rent. Hes depending on you. Hes like a (brother, son, fill in the blank) to you. Youll have to work overtime to make up the difference in rent money. You may even have to get another job. I dont care. Get rid of the roommate. Which do you want more a wife or a roommate? If you said roommate, then why did you bring your fianc to America in the first place? Get this through your head. Its not your house any more. Its her house. Shes the one who is going to turn your house into a home. That includes fumigating all the pests out of the house. Your roommate is not innocent either. He has the same attitude as a rat living in an abandoned house. The rat thinks he has as much right to live in your house as you do. Do you think the rat thinks its fair that you chase him out of the house? Of course not. Neither will your roommate. If you and he are smart, he will be gone before your fianc gets there. If not, he will be gone shortly after she gets there, or she will be gone. It's Her House Now: I didnt have a roommate. I had just moved into my house several months before I went to bring my fianc to America. There were unopened boxes filling up the spare bedroom. When my fianc came to my house, she wanted all the boxes emptied and the items in them put away. In my way of thinking, this was a project that I would get around to periodically over the next three years. I told her the best way for me to tackle the project was to keep the boxes under my nose so I would be aware of them, and gradually, get around to taking care of processing them. My fianc was having none of it. She wanted the boxes out NOW. We had a huge, knock down drag out fight about the boxes. Finally, I moved them out into the garage where they sit two years later, for the most part, unopened. Truce. An armistice was signed. My now wife keeps the house in immaculate condition. She likes to do the same with my office. I told her my office is my territory that the rest of the house is hers to do with as she wishes. My wife insists on cleaning my office when Im not around. Electrical plugs to the computer and other office equipment are frequently accidentally pulled out and in disarray. Files are piled up rather than in the perfect place where I knew exactly where they were. But there is no dust in my office. No dirt. No pests. Today we have found a middle point where we meet. But the real truth is that the house is her territory and I am only a welcome visitor in it. As my wife likes to say to me when she greets me at the door with a kiss, You are welcome at home, my darling. John has been successfully married to a Belarussian wife for over five years.

Belly Fats No More

2008-03-14T06:33:00.001-07:00

By Wee Siang Tan Do you get turned off by the fact that the fats around belly are sagging off your pants? Obviously when that happens, the first thing that runs through the mind is to work out a way to get rid of the belly fats. Conventional thinking would start of by trying to eat lesser and also a little healthier, following on by throwing in doubly or triply the amount of sit-ups done normally. Honestly speaking, it does sound very simple and can be done right? Day in day out thousands people start it and end off by realizing that it didnt work out fine. This is where the why question come into your mind. By not eating, it will result in weight gain as it influences your insulin levels promoting storage of fats. Thus, it is highly advisable that a person should eats about 5 to 6 light meals a day rather than having 3 large ones. It is impossible to lose weight in just particular area of the body. All that would happen is a solid layer of muscles build on top of a layer of fats. Hence, you got to look at the whole body as a whole. Here are two things that can be done to get rid of belly fats. Cardio Exercising Calories are gain by the amount and different types of food you take in daily. To get rid of the fat means to actually burn of more calories then what was taken in by you. Through exercises such as soccer, basketball or even swimming would help in burning away those excessive calories. Dieting This does not mean not eating or taking in what is less required by your body. A normal body consumes a combination of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, minerals and vitamins just to function normally. Work out a dietary routine that would include all the nutrients. Example fish, meat, vegetable, fruits. If your mind is seriously set on getting rid of that extra belly fat or even other fats around your body then you will need to put in a little extra hard work and perseverance. Changing to a healthy diet and getting on with some exercise program is the perfect way to start. Wee Siang is the owner of http://freefromfats.wordpress.com Specialize in Healthy Living.

7 Bold Reasons Why Men Shouldn't Cheat Their Wives

2008-03-12T15:58:00.001-07:00

By Lucy Wong Moi "What is the next step that a man can do if his wife cannot satisfy his sexual needs?" asked by A. At first I thought A was asking about how to boost his sexuality with proper nutrition and food, but when I further read the question, I got a shock. Well, it seems now it is the problem of a wife. Nevertheless, I am writing on behalf of A before writing on the 2 golden keys that a wife should have to keep their marriage vibrant. To have huge sexual appetite is not a sin nor something to be shy of. One should never underestimate the power of sex. Sex is part of our everyday life like food is to all of us. Have a look at what I have to say for the above asked question. Since it is a question asked, at least this friend A is considering what to do and not involved in anything yet. Luckily he is also asking on behalf of another friend. But I am in no position to influence him in any order. I respect a person's choice. My only advice is to read through my 7 bold reasons why man shouldn't cheat their wives before making any decision. Your own decision is still your best decision. [1] MQ to consider What is this? It is Moral Quotient. All of us have to be aware of the importance of MQ in the family. MQ is a skill to do things correct and right. MQ is a skill that all of us should possess. I always sum up this quotient as how one should do things right and proper. 'Do not do to others that you don't like others to do unto you" It is a saying of a wise sage, Confucius.. Understand the verse, read the verse, memorize the verse. If one doesn't allow his spouse, the wife to cheat on him, he should also not cheat at the first place. Will you be hurt if your wife cheated you too when you are at home while she went travelling? [2] Not fair to the wife It is not fair to the wife who stays at home to look after the children while her husband cheats her on business trips. Cheating hurts just anyone, especially the fairer sex. The proper wife who have to always stay at home to look after the family are not aware of being cheated. But if we look at things at a closer range, all of us will be angered by such deeds. If you have a father who always cheat on your mother, how will you feel? If you have a beloved daughter and she is always cheated by her husband, how will you feel? [3] Invite troubles All of us should be responsible for what we do. All of us have to be aware that a secret will not be a secret forever. Sometimes after a husband cheated his wife overseas, he brought back herpes and had his wife infected. I personally knew of a case where her husband cheated on her on a business trip to Peking and brought back a horrible sex disease. She only found out through her pregnancy of her third child because the doctor told her that her baby was diseased and have to be aborted. It was double shock for her. She cried her eyes swollen and I personally comforted her during her abortion which was such a disgraceful and inhuman act. I sympathized her but couldn't do anything. She was terribly upset and suffered mentally and emotionally too. She lost her baby just because of her husband's unfaithfulness. A night of betrayal have caused enough hurt and dismays not worth to mention. [4] Beware of AIDS Do you know the amount of people dying of AIDS? Or do you know how AIDS have caused miseries and anguish for many affected patients? Are you only looking at your own selfish needs and never understood the cries and pleads of untold women in distress? AIDS are in rampant in so many countries. Look out for more details from the net. [5] Forbidden fruit once tasted will be difficult to rid. The sins and temptations of flesh are not easily erased. It will be easily addicted. Bad influence brings bad results. Prevention is better than cure.
As I always mention on the case of Samson. His night of sensual pleasure caused him lifetime imprisonment and eventually death. He regretted but was too late. He sacrificed his precious life for just that night's pleasure. Temporary pleasure is just so shortlived. Temporary pleasure have to be paid a hundredfold. Sometimes, we are no better than mere animals who know no morals and no self discipline. [6] When you buy sex, you are also encouraging this profession When there is demand, there is supply. Demand comes first. Too many young girls are now influenced by the comfort of light and easy earned money. Once known as the oldest profession is now a popular profession. Sad to say, where can we find peace of mind for our sisters and our daughters? What is our younger generations lacking of? Why the lost of control of youngsters nowadays? Why are these naive, innocent and nice girls not able to do things proper? Where is their MQ? What have gone wrong to all of us? Who to blame? The lure of .....? [7] Pass the test Sometimes it is a pre-set trap from your spouse. Humans should learn to pass this test, a temptation of flesh. We shouldn't only emphasize on this physical act of love, we should learn more about the 95% meaning of LOVE.. Learn more on God's love, parental love, fraternal love, spouse's love, friendships, partnerships, comradeships and patriotic love too. It is rather on one's concept towards how one looks at love and marriage. No one can help if he or she is unwilling to change. Yes, no one, except you yourself. Understand the law of harvest, understand the law of love. Guilt and regret and remorse will eat up one's conscience. You lose, but actually win!
You thought you win, but actually lose terribly. If you have decided to cheat, go ahead, but if you have decided not to, I salute you. I salute you because to resist such a temptation is easier said than done. But if all of us can keep to our concept of having one partner for life, you will actually gain more love, more affection, more admiration, more respect, more happiness, more trust from your partner, from your friends and from your family. That is what I should say to sum up this article. Lucy Wong is a health and nutrition consultant. Her interest in health related issues include the development of mental health. She is also keen in sharing Multiple Qs, she is also an educator and has written many articles on this subject in her personal column under "alternative health" in http://submitarticles.biz Read more about mental health articles in her personal column and discover the secrets of maintaining good mental health.

What You Need to Know Before Placing an Ad in Your Local Newspaper (or ANY Other Publication)

2008-03-11T07:10:00.001-07:00

By Connie Scholl Have you been considering placing an advertisement in your local newspaper in hopes of drumming up some new business? Wait! Before you whip out your wallet, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following four "rules of the road" to help you improve your chances of getting the response you're seeking. Rule #1: You've Got to Choose the RIGHT Publication. For example, if you're targeting affluent clients and offering a high-end service (such as in-home personal training, massage, dog walking, etc), don't make the mistake of wasting your advertising dollars by placing an ad in the bargain news. Do your homework and find out what your target market is actually READING (you never know, maybe they ARE reading the bargain news!), and then apply your marketing dollars where there is the greatest opportunity. The success of any advertising or direct mail campaign can very often be attributed to the following: 50% of your "success" at advertising will depend on targeting the right publication; 25% of your "success" at advertising will depend on the copy in the ad; and 25% of your "success" at advertising will depend on the actual offer. Rule #2: Get Yourself a Traffic-Stopping HEADLINE! Your headline must quickly tap into the reader's problem, need or desire, and instantly prompt them to read further. Take your time with the headline. It needs to quickly create interest and intrigue in your reader. In fact, when I'm writing ads for clients, I'll spend 75% of my time on the headline alone! (If they don't read the headline, the rest of the ad is useless!) Rule #3: Don't Ever Forget, the Ad is NOT about YOU. How many times have you seen the "all about me" ads from other professionals in your industry? You know the ones I'm referring to -- the business owner's name takes up 50% of the ad, while the other half is filled with a laundry list of credentials and other self-centered copy. (This is the biggest mistake I see professionals make.) I'm not saying this information
shouldn't be included, it just shouldn't take up the "prime marketing real estate" section in your advertisement. Remember, your objective is to tap into your prospects' problem or need, and get an immediate response -- right then and there -- before recycling day comes around and your expensive ad takes a one-way trip to the dump. How do you do this? By offering them what they want. (For example, a f.ree trial session or consultation, a report or article containing tips on how to solve their particular challenge, a no-appointment-necessary policy, etc.) Essentially, use this advertisement as a way to generate hot leads for your services. Plan on running your ad at least 7-10 times before getting a regular stream of calls from it. Rule #4: Understand the Power of Your Words. Pay close attention to the WORDS you select for your ad. (Here's where knowing your target market inside and out really comes in handy!) While ad writing is a skill that takes time to master, you can jump-start the learning process by closely studying other ads that move YOU to take action, or you can simply hire someone to write a compelling ad for you. Here's a simple formula I use to keep me on track when I'm writing for my clients: YOUR AD SHOULD DO THE FOLLOWING: Get their ATTENTION Quickly Maintain INTEREST Create a Burning DESIRE for What You're OFFERING Finally, the ad should move your reader to TAKE A SPECIFIC ACTION!

Prom Make Up

2008-03-09T22:42:00.001-07:00

By Josh Riverside Prom nights involve a lot of planning and preparation and are filled with fun, craziness, and lot of memories to be cherished forever. Naturally, the night demands special make up and may cost up to $50 if individuals are opting for professional help. The type of prom make up, however, needs to be done keeping in mind the individual's facial features, skin tone, facial bone structure, hair style and dress. According to that, individuals may choose whether they want a soft and romantic or wild and loud make up. Although, it is natural to involve in hours of planning and discussion about the prom make up and dress with friends, it is essential to have enough sleep to look fresh and feel good on the grand night. After choosing the perfect foundation matching the skin tone and complexion, individuals need to choose the right shade for their eyes and lips. However, it is also said that young girls do not always essentially require a foundation what with the skin itself being soft and radiant at a young age providing a natural glow. A light powder application can be enough for the perfect natural make up. It is a common mistake to try to highlight both the eyes and lips - this often reduces the effect of make up. While highlighting the lips, bright colors are recommended. In the case of the eyes, a simple yet subtle make up combining an application of the liner, mascara, eye shadow, and false eyelashes might be appealing. Brushing off the extra blush from the cheeks is necessary to avoid the look of a painted face. A touch of eye shadow highlighting the brow bones, a gloss on the lips, and some glitter on the bare arms, back, and shoulders can complete the perfect look of the prom night. This night can be the best opportunity to follow the make up styles of the favorite celebrities or stand out with the most natural make up. Prom make up advice are also offered in selected departmental stores and salons. Make Up provides detailed information on Make Up, Eye Make Up, Make Up Tips, Make Up Mirrors and more. Make Up is affiliated with Nail Care. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Josh_Riverside http://EzineArticles.com/?Prom-Make-Up&id=429508 ambien dependance

You're Making Your Wedding List and Checking It Twice-What Have You Forgotten?

2008-03-08T05:02:00.001-08:00

By Marilyn Woodman Preparing for a wedding, large or small, is overwhelming! A way to combat that feeling is to break down the required tasks, divide the responsibilities and assign deadlines. Ok, all that is finebut what have you forgotten? A wedding is a public affair, and its everyones fear that somewhere, somehow, despite all the planning, arrangements, expense, and hard work, something will happen to make one or more of the principles appear foolish in public. Lets look at a scenario for a moment. Its a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding. Everything is in place. The site of the ceremony has been decorated appropriately and beautifully, all major participants are playing their roles correctly and are properly dressed, the groom and his best man have arrived and are in place, and the wedding party are about to begin the walk down the aisle. The music starts, and the bridal attendants proceed down the aisle. Theyre nervous, and when nervous, people tend to both rush and herd. The attendants are following that instinct, and theyre so close together that no one can get a separate picture of each one! The organist is trying to keep up with the fact that the attendants are in place far too soon, so she/he speeds up the music. The bride then starts to proceed down the aisle before the music has changed; the organist quickly switches the music, which now has the tempo of a rock opera. No one has been able to get photographs of the bridesmaids. The bride is beautifully dressed, but shes so close to the maid/matron of the honor or flower girl that no one can see or photograph her properly eithershes nervous too! As the bride and her escort pass, you notice that her train, which is probably at least as beautiful as the rest of her gown if not more so, is twisted and to the side. Because in most ceremonies the bride and groom stand facing the officiant, you can see her twisted train all throughout the ceremony! After the ceremony, the bride and groom proceed back down the aisle, followed by the attendants and the couples parents. Because of the emotion of the moment, some of the members of the bridal party have cried during the service, and it now appears that most female members of the party, including the bride herself, has made themselves up to look like circus clowns because their mascara is running and their foundation is streaked! The guests are asking themselves if the bridal party looked that way at the start of the ceremony, because of course they couldnt see them very wellthey were too close together. There's a sudden downpour outside in the middle of the ceremony, and it doesn't let up. When the time comes for the bride, groom and wedding party to be transported to the reception everyone gets wet and soggy and arrives at the reception looking unhappy, uncomfortable, wrinkled, soaked, and with their hairdos in disarray. It's all recorded on those expensive once-in-a-lifetime wedding photographs and videotapes too! So how can all this be prevented? First, if you don't have a professional wedding planner, you need an assistant! It should be a close friend or relative who is not supposed to be sitting in the reserved seats at the front, and so is available to help you manage the last minute necessary details. You should prepare a kit in advance of the ceremony that contains things like a needle and thread in black, white and the wedding colors, toothpaste and chalk to deal with any stains that might appear on the wedding dress, asprin and an extra pair of stockings in a neutral shade, a small bottle of water, tissues or handkerchiefs, etc. Your assistant's first task is to hand out the tissues or handkerchiefs--almost every bridal party forgets them. She should hand these out just before the mothers and then the bridal party proceed down the aisle. The bride and bridal party can hold them under their bouquets so that they are not seen. If you hand them out any time before that, youll find that at least one person--and more often a few people--will forget to bring theirsand a wedding ceremony is no place to take chances! Tissues will serve the purpose, of coursebut do you really want the bridal party photographed during the ceremony with tissuesperhaps shredded by a nervous owner? Mens handkerchiefs will do, and of course, pretty lace-trimmed handkerchiefs are even betterjust make sure theyre sizeable! You may be able to find reasonably priced lace handkerchiefs locally or online, or you can always buy men's linen handkerchiefs and hand-sew lace on them--it doesn't take that long to do. Your helpers second task is to space your attendants as they go down the aisle. When the organist (who has used unrolling the aisle runner and the placement of the groomsmen as a cue) begins the processional music, your helper should stand to the side of the lined-up bridesmaids, using the door as a shield so that she will not be seen by your guests. While proper spacing is a matter of judgment, a good guideline is that the next bridesmaid should not proceed down the aisle until the bridesmaid in front of her is AT LEAST 1/2 way up the aisle in a medium-sized church or hall. If the church is the size of a cathedral (as in The Sound of Music), it could be 1/3 of the way. Rememberthey cant start without you! The maid/matron of honor should not start until the last bridesmaid is in place, and the flower girl and ring bearer should also not start down the aisle until the maid/matron of honor is in place, regardless of the size of the church. In other words, there should be a little more spacing between these two members of the bridal party. The bride should wait until the first few bars of the music for the bride has been played. The organist is waiting for the placement or seating of the ring bearer and flower girl to switch music; do not rush her! Again remember: it wont start without you! Your helper is there to calm you and your escort down, wait for the music, make sure the bride is on the left,and slow you both down if necessary. When the last bridal attendant or flower girl/ring bearer "step off" and are on their way down the aisle, your helper should slip behind the bride and her escort, again, taking care not to be seen. On the very first step that the bride and her escort take, the helper should pick up the train at least a foot but no more than two feet off the ground, and give it a flip. This action is similar to smoothing out a sheet on a bed. The flip will ensure that the train will ride on a curtain of air and stay spread correctly as long as the bride keeps walking. Next, how to handle the sudden downpour. As part of your preparations, the bride should obtain enough umbrellas (three is plenty) for the bridal couple and the bridal party. Some limousine services also carry umbrellas, but if so, they usually only have one, and you need to consider at least your bridesmaids as well. If you find that you have too many, the parents and relatives of the couple would appreciate them, too! While any color umbrella will do, white umbrellas would be lovely. Consider getting a large golf size umbrella for the bride and groom and folding umbrellas do nicely for your wedding party and parents. Your helper should have the umbrellas at the back of the hall or church near the door and be ready to hand them out after the ceremony. Arrange to give your assistant the umbrellas and your emergency kit a day or two before the wedding, and make sure that she knows what her role will be. A good friend is priceless! Remember that she is doing you a favor. It would be a nice gesture--and one that will be remembered--to present her personally with a special and thoughtful gift at the reception, as well as your thanks. You can put the gift in a parent's car, or possibly the best man's car, in advance of your wedding day. Attention to these little but important details can help to assure memorable pictures and a worry-free wedding day!

Truth About What A Woman Wants On A Online Dating Site And What She Is Willing To Accept

2008-03-07T06:34:00.001-08:00

By Teddy Shabba If you look at what women put on their online dating profiles in terms of what they want in a man, you might find yourself coming up short of her expectations. Yet, the truth of the matter is the majority of times what she says she wants is something that she has never had. In the cases where she has had it she really didn't want it and only wants it now because she doesn't know how to get it. In other words, the man that she wants and the one that can attract her, most of the time is not the same man. What this means for men is you can never disqualify a woman you like online because her profile wants a man that isn't you. At the same time, there needs to be something other than her pictures that is attracting you to her. Women who have managed to write enough to let you know what they do and don't want in a man; usually have something in their profile that you can connect with. All you have to do is connect where the connection can be made. Once you express that connection to a woman, it then becomes her choice when it comes to deciding on if she should respond, despite the fact that you are not what she says she wants in her profile. Then again there might be some women who will refuse to respond to anyone other than whom she says she wants. In general, these are the types of women who you wouldn't connect with anyways. In the end, no matter what, it is your responsibility to let a woman know of your interest. Sometimes, all a woman is really looking for is a man with enough courage to connect with her in a way other than physical and the only way to find out is to initiate contact. Teddy Shabba is a Dating Coach for Men who has a daily newsletter that provides you with a wealth of information on how to be more successful with women.

Fabulous Cash Back Offers on Mobiles

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Joanne_Elizabeth]Joanne Elizabeth Where would you go if you wanted to buy a mobile phone for yourself and what would you look for at that place? Well, the answer is very simple. You will go to a shop which can give you a large variety of mobile phones to choose from and you will want to buy one of those mobiles at an affordable price. In fact, variety and affordability is sought by all of us in all types of shopping we engage ourselves in. The cash back portals focus exclusively on these two aspects of shopping. Some of the cash back portals coming up have over three thousand retailers, dealing in perhaps one of the widest array of products ever available on a single portal, listed on them. This ensures that you get a vast range of products to choose from. To shop from any of the merchants listed on these portals, you just have to sign up as a member of the portal. Most of the portals give you an attractive sign up bonus when you first become their member. The membership allows you to shop as many times as possible from the merchants listed on them. In addition, each time you shop from one of the merchants listed on the portals, you will avail exciting cash back from them. On some of the selected deals, you may earn up to 30 percent cash back. Last but not the least; they give you an option to choose the payment option for the cash back offers. You can either get discount coupons which you can use later to get discounts on your next shopping, or choose the other option of getting the cash back credited into your bank account. The payment process too has been expedited nowadays with the help of fund transfer companies the portals are taking help of in making the payments to their customers. Coming back to the mobile purchase, most of the cash back portals have a large number of mobile shops listed on them that deal in mobiles from all the major manufacturers. As mentioned above, all purchases you make from the mobile merchants on these sites will entitle you to attractive cash back offers from them. This will make the purchase affordable in effect, since you will get a part of the cash you have paid to the merchant as cash back from the portals via which you made the purchase. To help you select the best deals on cash back for yourself, the cash back portals also provide you with a comparison of the cash back offers they are offering with those offered by their competitors.

Eat More Pectin For Successful Weight Loss

2008-03-04T23:30:00.001-08:00

By Lee Dobbins Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to not feel so hungry all the time when you are trying to lose weight? Well there is a way and it's not some new fad either, it's something that's natural, has no adverse side effects and might be sitting right in your fridge - fiber. One type of fiber that you probably already have been eating is called pectin. Pectin is found in fruits, such as apples, strawberries, and peaches, along with vegetables including carrots, sweet potatoes and beans. Pectin is a carbohydrate that has no calories. Pectin is a great source of fiber, which we all know is important for a healthy diet. Aside from helping you feel full longer, pectin can help to cut cholesterol and blood sugar levels. It may even aid in the prevention of colon cancer. Pectin can help you lose and maintain your weight because it causes the stomach to empty more slowly. As a result, after eating pectin, you feel satisfied longer. This means that you will eat less, which will lead to weight loss. And if you think you'll have to be gobbling down hundreds of apples or guzzling pectin drinks, think again - research has shown that as little as a single teaspoon can help you to feel satisfied. Where Can You Get Pectin? Thankfully, you won't have to drive miles out of your way to get your supply of pectin because it is sold right in your local grocery store. It comes in a powder, which may be known as Sure-Jel, or a liquid, known as Certo. Derived from grapefruit and apples, pectin is usually found with the baking supplies in most supermarkets. How To Take Pectin You can mix pectin with orange juice, water, or soft drinks. It has no taste so shouldn't affect the taste of the beverage you mix it in. It is best to increase your intake gradually to let your system adjust to the added fiber. Start off with a teaspoon a day and then gradually add more in to a max of 3 teaspoons a day. You can also add pectin to broth or soups, applesauce and even baked potatoes. Lee Dobbins writes about Low Carb and Low GI eating as well as other weight loss issues.

The Biggest Reason For Not Finding a Soulmate

2008-03-04T00:27:00.001-08:00

By Elaine Sihera Today we have more people searching for new partners than ever before with even more stories of them failing to find the right ones, without anyone really appreciating why the constant mismatch goes on. Obviously we can all point to various reasons why two people do not hit it off at the beginning, but I have been doing some quiet research on what people put into their online profiles regarding their search for soulmates and have come up with a fascinating answer for the lack of success in this regard. Men and women advertise their needs and desires erroneously thinking they are speaking the same language of love, but they are not. They speak conflicting languages of expectation which often get lost in translation. Women are inclined to believe that men are seeking the same things as they are: romance, love and the usual trimmings. That is not quite the case with many men who are more practical and less emotional in their desires. In fact, men appear to be seeking two things in a partner which women seldom mention: understanding and an activity mate. It is NOT the same as seeking love. In fact, where the word 'love' comes as varying levels of a check box, men very rarely put that they are 'Extremely loving, or very loving'. Often they put 'quite loving' or nothing at all. Men seem to have a deep-seated need to be 'understood', and it comes out as a consistent priority on their profiles. Whereas women have this need to be romanced and loved, with as much affection as possible. A man might say that loving is part and parcel of being understood and sharing activities, but that misses the vital point of coming together - to be loved and wanted in an emotional way. Many men appear to be seeking an activity partner who just might bring some love with her, because they constantly mention how they want a companion to share the various fun activities they like to enjoy. Many women, on the other hand, are seeking a very loving and romantic man who might wish to do some things together. The two perspectives are really not the same! They carry a major difference in expectations within them. Conflicting Gender Speak
Often women simply want someone to love them; one they can love in return, who makes them feel valued and with whom they can do whatever they please when the moment arises. Activities are not essential in this oasis of love and desire. If they never go away for a weekend, for example, it doesn't really matter, so long as the man is there for them. Whereas, 'activity' people are simply seeking company for their activities with a little love thrown in, if they can get it. The emphasis is in going away and doing things regularly. Not just staying at home to be loved! If they can be 'understood' too, that's a great bonus as well! That is also why many men select 'being energetic' as a vital requirement in their partner, whereas far fewer women state that attribute in their choice of soulmates. Apart from seeking perfection in potential partners, the gender view of the whole dating process is an important factor for failure, yet has not really been examined and explored in enough depth. One only has to look at the words used by men and women to realise that expectations clearly go along gender lines which then creates a problem in interpretation. For example, while women tend to be more emotional in expression, stressing personality and idealistic characteristics, men tend to be more physical, particularly requiring definite types in height, build and hair. This difference in language also ensures that what one party thought would clarify and define their desires merely obscures it in conflicting gender speak for the other. It also keeps the genders from appreciating the needs of each other.

An Introduction To Insects

2008-03-01T17:25:00.001-08:00

By Damian Sofsian It has been said that insects are the most successful life form on the planet. We have gone through many evolutionary changes but one thing remains the same - the insect. As much as you try to avoid these creatures, there isn't a place on earth where they do not exist. On the sea, you can find seashore collembolan and marine flies on the surface. While beneath the surface, small larvae of beetles and true flies live and swim. Even in the cold depth of Antarctica and the Arctic, you will find some insects living and very much active during the 'warmer' months. You could even find larvae of the psilopa petrolei, a kind of fly, alive in pools of crude oil. Some insects are also a little bit scary because of their size and features. The Acteon beetle from South America measures 9 centimeters long, 5 centimeters wide and is 4 centimeters thick. Also found in South America is the South American Longhorn Beetle, which measures over 16 centimeters (the antennae are not even included in this measurement!) can look very intimidating. While a stick insect called Pharnacia kirbyi has a reputation of being the world?s longest insect. Even though some insects are big and scary, a number of insects are so small that they measures less than one millimeter in length. A feather wing beetle from North America, called Nanosella fungi, measures .025 millimeters while another Alaptus Magnanimus, a fairy fly, is .21 millimeters long. Several insects also travel in big numbers. A swarm of locust is known to destroy field crops in just few hours. The swarm may contain up to 28,000,000,000 locusts. That?s over 70,000 tons of locusts! Insects provides detailed information on Insects, Insect Repellants, Insect Bites, Dangerous Insects and more. Insects is affiliated with Ring Worm.

Internet Dating - Develop The Right Attitude For Online Dating Success

2008-02-29T08:09:00.001-08:00

By Lara Lopez Many dating sites are pretty similar. They will hate me for saying this, but your level of success depends to a large extent not on the specific site you pick or on its magic formulas, but on you. If you don't have a healthy attitude about yourself, you won't attract people or at least, not the right kind of people. If you don't like yourself and where you are at in your life, you can't very well expect people to like you. If you are going through a divorce or separation, give yourself some time before jumping into the dating pool: become more accepting of your life as it is and start to accept your identity as being single again. When you do start approaching others, don't expect instant success. Some suggestions for how to develop a positive and realistic attitude about online dating: Online dating can be likened to applying for a job online. There is a huge pool of prospective applicants, and you can't expect to find success immediately. You need to be persistent and resilient. It starts with your attitude: Take care to take and enhance some good photos of yourself; photos are among the most important parts of any profile. Present yourself in a positive way; take care to spell check and organize the text in your essays. Expect to meet a lot of people before you "click" with someone; don't get discouraged if you're online for weeks at a time without any success; hang in there and have fun getting to know people. If your initial goal is to have coffee with some nice people in interesting venues, you won't be disappointed if that is all that develops at first. To many people when they first begin online dating, their impulse is to think every match was potentially "the one." They get inordinately excited and apprehensive before a meeting, and then become discouraged when things didn't go as planned. Learn to be realistic: don't plan an elaborate first date but instead work toward having a cordial, brief conversation. You should take advantage of your trial membership period by responding to any of the email messages or "flirts" you receive from others. Everyone has to start somewhere, and it's perfectly okay to be shy at first. Let's say that you are just figuring out how to use the dating site and how to do online dating in general. You are probably initially apprehensive about the prospect of starting to flirt yourself. So, try using honesty as a reasonable policy: respond by saying you've just joined the system and are not sure yet how everything works, so you'll get back to the person later (don't forget that you really should reply later, one way or another). If you see someone who interests you, send him or her a message if the site will allow it during the trial period. Give them up to a week to respond: Remember, don't expect too much to begin with. Your initial goal, in fact, is to determine whether this site has the potential to match you with people you want to date. If you find that someone responds in a friendly way and you have a pleasant email chat, chances are this is a site you will want to stick with.

Mail Order Ham--Choosing a Ham Online

2008-02-27T22:18:00.001-08:00

By Linda Schnable The ham is the traditional centerpiece for Easter, Christmas, holidays, and other special gatherings. Almost any meal is made special with a ham. Many options are available in choosing a mail order ham online in the quest to make the choice your ham centerpiece a success. You can not judge the value of your mail order ham online by the price per pound; you need to look beyond the price for differences in hams that are available. Nutrition labels are a great place to start your comparisons of the ham. The nutrifacts gives information about the calories, fat, cholesterol, protein, and sodium contents of the ham. Generally, nutrifacts for ham are healthy since ham is a relatively lean cut of meat before anything is added. When comparing hams, be certain that you note the serving size that has been used to establish the nutritional statistics of the ham. Although nutrition information is very similar from one ham manufacturer to another, there are several factors that will present distinguishable differences in hams. These factors may represent differences in flavor and texture profile from one brand of ham to another. These factors are bone-in ham versus boneless, slow curing of ham versus efficient curing, water levels added to the ham, different methods of smoking the ham, cooking duration, and, of course, the ingredients included the cure or marinade of the ham. Bone-in hams provide 2-3 servings per pound and tend to highlight the added ingredients. The natural fats of the ham help to enhance the ingredients that are added to the cure (marinade). Although you may want to trim the fat away when consuming the ham, cooking the ham with its natural fat will bring out the unique differences in many spices and sweeteners used to make the ham. Boneless hams provide 4-5 servings per pound. Boneless hams usually have all visible fats removed when preparing the ham for smoking and cooking. Boneless hams are extremely simple, however if you do not mind trimming away a little fat, you will probably enjoy the flavor profile of the bone-in ham more than the boneless ham. If carving is a concern, try a pre-sliced spiral sliced ham with the bone-in. Another factor that presents definitive differences in hams from one brand to another is the method of curing the ham. Ham is made with a flavorful cure, a marinade of water and brine that gives the ham its typical taste and appearance. Technology advancements have helped the ham curing process (adding ingredients through moisture enhancements) to become a much more efficient process than the early days of ham processing. Equipment has helped the process of getting the ingredients into the ham quickly to get the ham to the store quicker. Although the efficiency factor helps reduce the costs of production of some hams, it is not always effective in maximizing the flavor enhancement factor. Whether using new technology or traditional methods, slowing the curing process will bring out the unique differences from the added ingredients. Getting the ingredients into the meat is only half of the process, giving them a chance to work before cooking is the second half. Water is the medium in which ham makers use to get different ingredients into the meat. Over the years, some ham makers have improved their methods to get more and more moisture into the meat. Labels will read ham, ham with natural juices, water-added ham, and ham with X% added water. Obviously, ham and ham with natural juices will have the least amount of water diluting the natural taste of ham and its added spices. Adding more and more water will help drive down the cost of the ham, but generally does little to enhance the flavor and texture of the ham itself. The method of smoking the ham will be yet another factor that creates differences from one brand of ham to another. The traditional method of smoking ham was to use specially selected logs of hard woods that would enhance the sweeteners and spices that the ham maker chose. Soon, processors found that their ham tasted better with hickory wood, applewood, or even dried corn cobs. One of the newest technologies is a processed natural smoke that is converted to a liquid form and is applied to the hams during the cooking process. This process has helped to shorten the processing cycle of the ham. Many specialty processors still choose to stay with the natural wood of their choice to enhance the special blend of spices that gives their ham its unique flavor properties. Much like the lengthened curing process of the ham, many ham processors feel that slow cooking ham at a lower temperature maintains the natural meat texture and cooks the spice flavors into the ham. Again, technology has been introduced to shorten the cooking cycles and reach the safe internal temperatures quicker. Some argue that the quick process changes the ham texture too much, and doe not allow the flavors of the ham and ingredients to blend during the cooking process. Probably the one area that each ham maker will argue that his is the best is in the ingredients he chooses for the cure or marinade of the ham. Each cure has one or two prominent ingredients that help to give unique taste and aroma properties to a ham. Maple syrup, honey, and brown sugar are three primary ingredients that specialty ham processors may choose to build their cure recipe. In addition to the base ingredient, many other spices may be added to further enhance a unique recipe preference to cure a ham. As you can see, a good centerpiece holiday ham for your Easter, Christmas, or special celebration meal goes well beyond the price per pound or an attractive package. There are many ways to make a ham less expensive, but like any good recipe, if you short cut the cycle and ingredients it may not taste as good and bring pleasure to you and your guests that you may expect. Choose your ham wisely, and enjoy one of the best tasting meal traditions. You must insist on quality and the distinctive, elusive, one-of-a-kind flavor in your ham that can never be mass-produced by machinery or rushed through the curing and smoking process. Whether you need a holiday ham, or are buying a ham online just because you love the flavor, the very best maple syrup brine cured, cob and applewood smoked hams, made in the New England tradition in one of the few smokehouses left that controls quality from beginning to endcome from

Limited Power of Attorney

2008-02-27T06:46:00.001-08:00

By Kent Pinkerton Through a limited Power of Attorney, the principal can authorize another person, i.e. agent, to carry out specified tasks on his or her behalf for limited time duration or only under certain circumstances. The Power of Attorney is therefore limited or tailored to meet the needs of a particular transaction or set of transactions (i.e., the purchase of the real estate in Los Angeles, known as 123 Oak Street) and comprehensively details the expiration date and full extent of the power. Most people choose a limited Power of Attorney because with this form, the principal can give someone the power to manage his or her finances or property and yet rest easy knowing his or her assets are protected. A limited Power of Attorney usually reads: My named attorney-in-fact [or agent] shall have full power and authority to undertake, commit and perform only the following acts on my behalf to the same extent as if I had done so personally; all with full power of substitution and revocation in the presence. Describe the specific authority below: The specific authority could be property transactions, banking, specified business operations, access to safe deposit boxes, litigation, etc. Without this restriction, sometimes rigid banks, financial institutions or others to whom it is presented might not accept the Power of Attorney. Thus, if the principal plans to use a stand-in for a financial, real estate or business transaction, he or she must ensure in advance that the other parties have approved the Power of Attorney in question. Unless revoked, a limited Power of Attorney usually ends at a specified time, unless the principal becomes incapacitated or passes away. Power Of Attorney provides detailed information about power of attorney, power of attorney forms, medical power of attorney, limited power of attorney and more. Power Of Attorney is the sister site of Divorce Legal Forms.

Set Yourself Up to Win

2008-02-26T04:09:00.001-08:00

By Dan Patterson Its funny how we all will start a new workout or weight loss program with a lot of excitement and high expectations, but then after about a month or so a lot of people will be back to their same old routine. So what happened? Where did they lose the motivation? There isnt a universal answer to that question, but you have to find a way to keep yourself going. Here are a couple of ideas: - Take a before picture and look at it constantly. Probably first made famous from the Body-for-LIFE program. The whole point of doing this is to motivate yourself to change the way you are. Keep reminding yourself that you dont want to stay this way and that youll do what ever it takes to change. - Have pictures of role models. This helps you to keep your goal in mind. Go find a picture of someone that has your same body type and has a body that you think you could believably achieve and look at it constantly as well. In other words, if youre an endomorph, dont find pictures of an ectomorph as this may be unrealistic. - Watch the health news. This one may sound a little weird, but its a really good idea to become conscious of why you might need to make some changes. If you keep yourself up to date on the growing concerns out there associated with obesity and take a I wont be part of the problem attitude, it can really be motivating. - Have a support group. Its very important to take note of who you hang out with or who is in your social circle. Make sure that you are around people that support what youre doing. Eventually you might get to the point where you honestly dont care what others think and you really are just doing it for yourself, but at the beginning your motivation is very fragile. Protect it and be careful who you share it with. While this is not an all-encompassing list, I hope that it will at least help you to maintain a high level of motivation for a longer period of time. A lot of what you will achieve in your goals will be determined by your attitude towards what youre doing. If you have the right attitude, you will achieve more. Too many good plans have been destroyed because of a bad attitude and lack of motivation. Dont let your new goals become another unfinished project. About the Author:

Do More of What You Want: Making Time Work for You

2008-02-25T06:55:00.001-08:00

By Allison Shields One of the biggest challenges lawyers face is the challenge of trying to get it all done and still have time to do the things they want to do. Theyre overwhelmed by the demands of their practice and juggling family, personal and work time. Theres really no such thing as time management
Time management is a misnomer. You have no control over time. Everyone is given the same amount of time every day, every week and every year. Whether you like it or not, youre stuck with only 24 hours every day. Rather than thinking about managing your time, think about managing your activities. Often, the problem is that lawyers are afraid to plan their activities within the amount of time available to them. Many lawyers think that their practice doesnt lend itself to planning because they want to be responsive to clients needs as they arise. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive. Unfortunately, having no plan at all usually means that the little, often least valuable or least important things eat up all of the available time, and important tasks never get done. Sometimes, its marketing, organizing your practice or your office, or following up on collections that gets neglected. Most often, its the family and personal time that suffers. Lawyers become victims of burnout, which leads to more profound personal problems and ultimately, health problems, in addition to business and professional troubles. How can you manage your activities to create time for high value business and personal activities?
Theres no one right way to do this that will work for everyone. And there is no one right tool, whether you use case management programs, electronic databases, personal handheld organizers, desk calendars or paper planners. But regardless of which method you choose to manage your activities and appointments, the steps are similar. First, divide your activities/tasks into categories
Julie Morgenstern, author of Time Management from the Inside Out and other books, likens organizing your activities to organizing your closet. She begins by sorting putting like items together. For example, you might sort activities into categories such as: errands (post office, dry cleaner, banking), closing files, entering contact information into your database, planning, filing, family activities, writing, blogging, etc. The categories are extremely individual and may depend on your practice area and other obligations; these categories are just suggestions. Break up your to do list.
Looking at the entire list of everything that needs to get done, from errands to client projects to marketing and administrative tasks can be overwhelming. And overwhelm leads to paralysis. By categorizing the tasks that need to be completed and keeping separate lists or folders for each category, your list will be easier to tackle. Another advantage is that performing like tasks together makes them easier to accomplish. Handling a number of telephone calls or emails at once is usually more efficient than handling them piecemeal. Writing several letters about the same topic (i.e. follow up to clients for documents or information youre waiting for or letters to clients about payment) or closing a number of files at once will make each individual task go faster. Prioritize the items on your list
Which activities bring the highest return? Which are the most important to you or to your clients? Which activities are the oldest (sometimes getting those old dogs off of your plate makes a lot more room physically and emotionally for you to get other things done)? Those are your priority activities. Some strategies for determining the priority of tasks include asking why youre doing that task in the first place, and ensuring that the task has a legitimate purpose and focusing on the outcome or anticipated result, rather than the task itself. You probably have tasks on your list that are priorities that you avoid because you dont like to do them. Sometimes those tasks can be delegated and sometimes they cant (see below). When they cant, focus on the result, rather than on the task itself. If youre avoiding a job, chore, etc., focus on the outcome what will it feel like when this is done? What will be the result emotionally, productively, financially, or organizationally? If the task has an important purpose and a high value result, make it a priority. Eliminate unnecessary tasks
Which activities can you get off of your list? Get rid of anything that you dont have to do. Some tasks can be eliminated entirely. Others can be delegated. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses can help you to determine what you should delegate. Anything that you avoid doing, hate doing or just dont do well is a potential candidate for delegation. If someone else can do it better, faster, more consistently, delegate it. Delegate it if someone else will get it done well enough (as opposed to keeping it on your to do list where it never gets done). See my article, Too Much to Do, Too Little Time? Why Your Dont Do List May be More Important Than Your To Do List for more on eliminating tasks from your list. Determine the amount of time each activity will take to accomplish and schedule it
Dont be stingy with your estimate; estimating too little time will add stress and confusion to your schedule. Decide when you will perform that activity and physically schedule it on your calendar Make sure you leave some empty space or downtime on your calendar, in addition to the personal and family time that you schedule. Scheduling tasks can be done by scheduling a specific time for a particular task (i.e. I will call this client at 3 p.m. on Tuesday or I will draft the contract at 10 a.m. on the 27th) or by using a method known as time blocking. Time blocking can be as simple as putting like activities together, which is why the first step of categorization is so important. Often, when youre doing one task for one client, its that much easier to do the same activity for another client. For example, you can time block by saying that Thursday afternoons will be reserved for errands, or the last Friday of every month will be used for closing files, or you will focus on business development every Monday. At the same time, recognize that the schedule is not entirely set in stone. As a lawyer, it is likely that there will be last minute emergencies, unforeseen circumstances or client crises that must be addressed. Thats further evidence that what doesnt get scheduled and isnt urgent, isnt likely to get done. More often than not, you probably react to whatever is in front of you, rather than determining in advance what you want to accomplish. If scheduling time on your calendar for important tasks allows you to complete them even half of the time, its probably a lot more than youre doing right now. The advantage to setting specific times to accomplish important tasks is that as soon as the crisis or emergency has passed, you can return to your schedule without missing a beat. Leaving your schedule to chance is much more likely to deteriorate. Scheduling or time blocking gives you a purpose or plan for every day. One of the reasons many lawyers get discouraged and feel overwhelmed is that they keep one long to do list and theres no way that theyll be able to accomplish all of the tasks on the list. They continue to carry the same things on their to do list day after day. Theres no sense of accomplishment, because they see the same tasks carried from one day to the next, over and over. By using the method outlined above and making appointments with yourself, whether at specific times or in blocks of hours or days, you will be able to see when youre about to overload a specific day or week and make adjustments ahead of time. If you see that one day is already booked, youll know you need to put the new task on another day, or reschedule an existing appointment. Some final tips: Minimize interruptions or unplanned activities
Just because the phone rings doesnt mean you have to answer it, and you dont need to answer every email as it arrives. Often, we waste time addressing issues or interrupting the flow of our work by being distracted by an unrelated (and often unimportant) email or telephone call. Frequently answering the email or phone call takes longer when were in the middle of something else. The same goes for interruptions from colleagues or employees; if it isnt a crisis, ask them to come back at a specific time when you can focus on their issue. Dont multitask
Our society has become one in which multitasking is seen as a good practice. In fact, studies have shown that (with few exceptions) the more you multitask, the less attention and focus youre devoting to any of the tasks youre trying to accomplish. Chances are that youre performing any of those tasks well. Focusing on one thing at a time ensures more efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction. Reward yourself
There is no such thing as being done; there will always be more work to do. Its easy to focus on what hasnt been done yet, and what still needs to be done, or what should have been done. Focus instead on what youve accomplished and how far youve come. Celebrate when you accomplish something or stick to your schedule and forgive yourself when you lose track. Get back to the schedule and move on. Repurpose
Everything you do should be able to be used more than once. Keep track of the legal arguments, motions, documents, letters, procedures, articles, etc. Almost everything in your practice can be used over again, either by you or by someone else in the office. If you can use the same product over again with minimal modifications, youll free up more time, rather than constantly reinventing the wheel. Take breaks and incorporate personal time
No breaks and no time for yourself = burnout. Need I say more? Set deadlines
A goal isnt worth much unless theres a deadline. The same is true for a task. Thats why scheduling the task for a specific time on your calendar makes it more likely that youll complete it. For more information about setting deadlines, see the December 2006 newsletter for the feature article, The Productivity Secret: How to Complete the Tasks Youve Been Avoiding. Get a buddy/accountability system
Your buddy may be your spouse, your assistant, your best friend, another lawyer in your office, or a coach or consultant. Find someone with whom to share your goals and intentions and to keep you on track, to help you stick to your schedule and identify which tasks are priorities and which can be delegated. When you tell someone else what youre going to do, the peer pressure can be a big motivator. Create some way to keep yourself accountable. Dont get overwhelmed with all you have to do, and dont overwhelm yourself with a never-ending to-do list. Categorize, break tasks down into smaller chunks or parts, prioritize, eliminate or delegate what you can and schedule the just the first step of what remains, rather than the entire project. You may be surprised at how much you can accomplish and still have time to spend with your loved ones (or on the golf course!) (c) 2006-2007 Allison C. Shields and Legal Ease Consulting, Inc.

The Art Of Flattery - Using Flattery To Become More Attractive

2008-02-24T05:15:00.001-08:00

By Christine Akiteng Many people completely hate the word "flattery" and to even say there is an art to this makes them shudder with total disgust. In a culture where everything is either right or wrong with very little room for the grays in between, I can understand why the word flattery rubs people the wrong way. I can also understand why many are sickened to the stomach because flattery is often associated with compromising ones values and integrity. But is flattery always a bad thing? And does flattery always have to be insincere? Does flattery make you more attractive and should you use the art of flattery on the men/women you find attractive? Personally I find that mild flattery does often move things along more pleasantly than outright candidness. While excessive insincere praises intended to put the other person into the position of owing something to the flatterer is cheap and cheesy (and often reveals emotionally "needy" personality out for approval), a little flattery does help to quickly warm up first meetings or bridge relationship gaps. For example starting off your conversation with a statement like You look gorgeous is surely better than starting with You forgot to put on your make-up today. By offering positive reinforcement, you are not only making the person feel good about herself but you are taking the small extra effort to actually show the person that you care about how she feels. She may come back with I dont have my make-up on to which you can respond with You still look good. But when you say I couldnt even tell you did not have make-up on or You look like you have make-up on, youve crossed over to the excessive insincere praise. In terms of bridging relationship gaps, a little flattery goes a long, long way. Say you are the hottest woman in your workplace or even at a party, taking the time to shake hands with the office boy or cleaner, or saying hi to the geeky-looking guy standing all by himself not only makes their day (they will be talking about it for days) but moves them away from feeling like a nobody in the eyes of society to somebody to those present (and to himself). Just by a simple gesture you show the person that you care about how they feel. Did I mention youll be ever so hotter! Having said that, I do not advocate using flattery to manipulate anothers self-doubt or use their feelings of inferiority against them. Using flattery for personal gain has its own come back to bite your ass consequences. You cant get round using flattery to always get what you want without starting to feel empty, phony, lonely and depressed. You can never genuinely and deeply connect with others if you are manipulating their feelings. Also keep in mind that flattery works for about 95 percent of people. Recognizing situations where flattery is appropriate is the secret of the art of flattery!

New Spa Treatments You Can Make In The Comfort Of Your Home

2008-02-19T04:35:00.001-08:00

By Louise Forrest Women from all over the globe love the way their skin feels after a visit to the spa. These organic skin care recipes are all used for specialties treatments at some of the world's top natural care spas. Remember to always purchase organic ingredients for our skin care recipes. Non-organic ingredients contain chemical fertilizers and pesticides which you do not want absorbed into your body through the skin. Organic Body Butter #1 Aside from the skin care recipe ingredients, you will need a blanket and towels for application, a small pillow can be nice, and a food processor is very handy for making the butter. Hand-held mixers cannot handle the density of this skin care formula, but you can use a potato masher or your hands (it just will not be as smooth ad with a food processor). You will need: 1 organic avocado, scoop ripe flesh into a bowl
1 organic banana
1 stick organic sweet butter, softened
1/3 teaspoon lavender essential oil (usually found in health food stores or on the internet)
1/4 cup organic whipping cream Thoroughly steam bathroom with you in it (this gets your skin ready and opens pores). While bathroom is steaming, you can lay the blanket (old) on the floor and lay the towels over it. If you chose to use a small pillow, place it at one end and cover with a towel. Once you begin to perspire, you can turn water off and begin massaging the organic body butter all over the body, including the face (stay away from eyes and open wounds). Pat special attention to dry areas like feet, hands, knees, and elbows. Lie on towels and wrap blanket around you. Take a 15 to 20 minute nap this way, allowing the organic body butter to infuse your skin with essential moisture. Rinse in a warm shower using (preferably) an organic soap and soft cloth to lightly cleanse the butter. Organic Body Butter #2 You probably already have most, if not all, of the ingredients for this decadent organic body butter. Try mixing a double batch of this skin treatment and make a romantic interlude for you and your significant other! Mix the following ingredients: 1 teaspoon organic coconut oil
2 teaspoons organic clover honey
3 tablespoons organic peanut butter (crunchy)
1 1/2 tablespoons organic brown sugar
2 tablespoon distilled water Use in the bathtub, because this can get messy! Massage the organic body butter over your body, starting at the furthest points and working your way to the center of your body. After thoroughly massaging, cleanse the butter away with a mild organic cleanser. Apply an organic milk lotion or organic moisturizing cream to complete your treatment. Extra Special Treatment for Hands and Feet For this treatment, you will need 6 bars of paraffin wax, 4 old towels, and 2 tablespoons organic olive oil (1 tablespoon for hands and 1 tablespoon for feet). Melt the paraffin in a large, deep microwave safe container that is long enough to set your foot in. You want the wax to be melted and warm, but not hot. Take one tablespoon of organic olive oil and massage into freshly cleaned feet. Dip oil covered feet into the paraffin wax one foot at a time and dipping three times to create three layers of wax (allowing the wax to dry on the foot between dips). Wrap the feet (with the wax still on them) in old towels. Repeat treatment on hands. Once you have your hands wrapped, prop your feet up and rest for 20 minutes then peel wax off and massage again. Extra Quick Exfoliation Amazingly, this is an extremely inexpensive exfoliation treatment used by many spas. They may add essential oils for scent or other effects, but the treatment is quite basic. Simply take handfuls of Epsom Salt and rub over the body while in the shower or bath. The exfoliating properties on Epsom Salt are top-notch. To create a more relaxing effect, mix 2 cups Epsom Salt with 6 drops organic lavender essential oils then massage over body as directed above. Keep YOURSELF looking great with these great

Clinical Negligence Solicitor For A Botched Surgery

2008-02-16T17:24:00.001-08:00

By Mumtaz Shah Statistics do seem to indicate there is an upward trend is wrongful cosmetic surgery treatments; so, would you have a claim for clinical negligence following a bad cosmetic surgery experience? It is hard to imagine that there can be a worse feeling you go into have cosmetic surgery treatment to improve your features and hopefully boost your self-esteem and when you finish, you find that something has gone horribly wrong and you have been disfigured for life! Establishing A Claim In order for a clinical negligence solicitor to establish that you have a medical negligence claim, the solicitor needs to show that a duty of care situation existed between you and the surgeon and that the surgeon was negligent in this. Fortunately or unfortunately, however you wish to look at this, prior to 1 April 2002 there was no method of ensuring that the private cosmetic surgeon who treated you had any specialist cosmetic surgery training. Indeed, even if they are still practicing today, if they started practising cosmetic surgery prior 1 April 2002, there would still be no requirement that they had received specialist cosmetic training. For this reason, having established that a duty of care relationship existed, it should be much easier for your solicitor to show that the surgeon acted negligently than would otherwise be the case in a more mainstream medical negligence claim. Alternative means of establishing a claim for clinical negligence compensation include: Informed Consent Nearly all cases involving cosmetic surgery negligence claims centre on the issue of whether or not you had the appropriate informed consent prior to the procedure. Basically, 'informed consent' means that the surgeon or doctor treating you is required to inform you of: the potential benefits of the cosmetic treatment you are about to have, something most cosmetic surgeons are very happy to talk about; the potential risks that are associated with the cosmetic surgery procedure you are going to undertake, something most cosmetic surgeons talk about reluctantly; and what the alternatives are to the treatment you are about to receive, something cosmetic surgeons sometimes fail to inform their patients! Without your informed consent to the cosmetic surgery, it is possible for your clinical negligence solicitor to establish that a clinical negligence claim exists and to ask for clinical negligence compensation. Injury Compensation Besides lack of informed consent, a clinical negligent solicitor can also establish a case for clinical negligence in the event that you suffer any disfigurement or scaring following the procedure, or if the treatment results in you have some other form of disfigurement such as damaged nerve-ends, damaged internal organs, abrasion, etc. Dental Surgery In addition to the more common claim of negligent treatment in cosmetic surgery, if you have recently received any cosmetic dental treatment that did not produce the results you were lead to believe would be the case by the advertising you read, or if the cosmetic dental surgery procedure was painful, or left you in any way disfigured, you may well have the right to claim for dental negligence compensation so make sure you check this out with your solicitor. What Should You Do If You Think You Have A Claim? If you believe you have a clinical negligence claim following cosmetic surgery, you should see a specialist in clinical negligence as soon as you can. Keep in mind that only a very small fraction of medical negligence claims involving cosmetic surgery procedures are allowed to apply for public funding (such as Legal Aid) to help pay the costs of a claim. As such, if you cannot afford a specialist clinical negligence solicitor, then you should try and see a compensation solicitor on a no win no fee claim basis as court cases involving clinical negligence centred around cosmetic surgery practices can be time consuming and costly. It's easy to proceed with a clinical negligence claim and gain maximum results without the hassle, costs and confusion.

TV News: Turn It Off And Get A Better Picture Of The World

2008-02-15T16:53:00.001-08:00

By Katherine Westphal Television news programs are just about the worst way to get news for two important reasons. 1) Television itself inhibits the functioning of left brain rational analysis.
2) The television media has become centralized into a few huge media conglomerates. Most people are aware of the consolidation of the media industry. However, people are only dimly aware of TV's inhibition of left brain functioning. Try this experiment. Right now. Critically review three of the news stories you watched on TV last night. Ready. Set. Go! So, only a few perspectives are presented on the TV news, and when viewers like yourself watch this news, they are inhibited from logically analyzing the stories. That is terrible news for democracy. Democracy needs informed citizens that can analyze and discuss different views of a situation. I use a few simple guidelines to get a picture of what is going on in the world. These do require a little more effort than parking in front of a TV set and mindlessly absorbing the images, but not too much more. Reading is more efficient The first step is to start reading, instead of watching, your news. Television generally takes a lot of time to get across a little bit of information. With reading you can absorb information much faster. A five minute story on the news can be read online or in the newspaper generally in less than a minute. The spare time can be used to analyze the story. Get several quality news sources The next step in developing a good picture of the world is to get several good news sources. Begin with a mainstream newspaper or website to simply get an idea of the basic issues that are at stake. Then, select a couple of alternative news sources outside the mainstream. I am not going to recommend a particular source, because I do not wish to become engaged in liberal/conservative partisan discussions. These distinctions start to fall away once you start to analyze the news for yourself anyway. Analyze the information The next step is simply to start critically viewing the material that you read. Does it make logical sense? Are there inconsistencies? Does the story change from one day to the next? Are there any patterns to events? Finally, the most important question to ask for any given situation is: who benefits? Rarely do events happen by chance in the world and asking that one, little question can lead to much greater understanding of any situation. Put that left brain into hyper-drive. Find original sources and witnesses If there are inconsistencies or notable patterns, it is time to start researching. Whenever possible it is best to go to the source of an issue. For example, if the government passes a new law about security, dont waste time watching or reading the petty analyses of pundits. Find a copy of the law! Do not rely on someone else to give an interpretation. The internet makes it much easier to find source documents. The recent Terri Schiavo case demonstrates the need for going to source documents. There are medical documents that are copied at www.hospicepatients.org, and court document links can be found at AbstractAppeal.com. Viewers who relied solely on the TV news may feel differently about this case once they peruse these documents. Also--whenever possible--find witnesses to an event. First person accounts can give a far more accurate and moving picture than one that is filtered through the mainstream media. These accounts must be critically analyzed, of course. Diveaid.co.uk has several gripping accounts of the tsunami last year by some dive instructors who survived. Put the news into context Finally, it is essential to put the information into contextpolitical, historical, social, and even geographical. If necessary, do some research. This step may take the most effort, but it is also the most rewarding. For example, in 1990 anyone who had a basic knowledge of the history of Yugoslavia knew that it was a virtual powder keg, just waiting for a psychopath to come and light it. That is exactly what happened with Mr. Milosevic and the subsequent wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. Respond to the world with new-found confidence Follow these general guidelines and, not only will you become better informed about world events and situations, you will also become a better citizen: better prepared and ready to act with confidence in the political arena. TV Turn-off Week (April 25-May 1) is a great opportunity to test these principles. If you are going to be one of the millions of families who turn off their TV's that week, try using these principles to get your news for that one week. Then see if you feel better informed on May 1.

Recycling Facts

2008-02-14T15:32:00.001-08:00

By Arabella Greatorex These make quite alarming reading - if we want to have any kind of planet to pass on to our children and grandchildren, perhaps we need to be a little more aware of our actions. No one has to save the planet single-handedly but if we each took a few small steps, we can achieve great things together. We get through nearly 3 billion disposable nappies each year in the UK alone and around 90% of these end up on landfill sites. Disposable nappies take 500 years to decompose. The disposal of nappies costs Bristol City Council around 500,000 per year. Over 20,000 tonnes of batteries are sent to landfill site in the UK each year. It takes 50 times more energy to make a battery than it gives during its life. Each day, we produce enough rubbish to fill Trafalgar Square to the height of Nelson's Column. Each year, one person gets through 90 drink cans, 70 food cans, 107 bottles and jars and 45kg of plastic. 55 million 2-litre plastic bottles are thrown away in Bristol each year. The UK uses about 12 billion cans each year - that's enough to stretch to the moon and back! On average each person in England and Wales produces nearly 500kg of household waste a year. In Bristol last year, 10 thousand tonnes of paper were collected and recycled. 7 million trees are cut down every year just to make disposable nappies. The average British family throws away 6 trees worth of paper in their household bin a year. Every tonne of paper recycled saves 17 trees. 25% of household waste is packaging and we throw 36 million worth of aluminium into landfill sites. Last year in Bristol, nearly 4.5 thousand tonnes of glass bottles and jars were collected and recycled. Five out of six glass bottles are thrown away.

Career Advice: It's Wise to Put Off Big Decisions

2008-02-13T05:41:00.001-08:00

By Ramon Greenwood One of the deeply rooted myths about how managers achieve success is that they
are single-minded and quick in their decision-making. The literature of
management has created a macho image about making tough decisions fast. This is not a true picture of successful managers. They know it is wise to put off the
big decisions as long as possible. The experienced manager knows there is a price, some degree of irrevocability
attached to any decision. Therefore, he will develop as many options as possible for
the truly important questions to be resolved and hold off making critical decisions
as long as possible. That enables him to move with a shifting environment of facts,
pressures and opportunity. It also prepares the way for responding to the critics
and second-guessers by saying, "Yes, we considered all of the options as long as we
could." Most of us heard at Mother's knee, "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do
today." The most successful decision makers frequently break that rule. When he was vice president of the United States, Aaron Burr flew in the face of the
Puritan admonition when he advised: "Never do today what can put off 'til
tomorrow. Delay may give clearer light as to what is best to be done." Some 100 years later, President Calvin Coolidge declared: "Four-fifths of all our
troubles in this life would disappear if we would only sit down and keep still." TIME SOLVES MANY PROBLEMS Mangers will find that with time all problems do not require answers. The simple
passage of time will solve many problems. They may simply pass away or answer
themselves. Furthermore, good answers are not always immediately available. We can all learn from the parable about two men sentenced to die by the king.
Upon learning of their fate, one man became terrified, but the other remained calm.
The calm one said, "Your Majesty, if you will let us live, I will teach your horse to fly." The King considered the proposition for a moment and replied, "You have one year
to teach my horse to fly. If you succeed, your lives will be spared; but if not, you
will be executed." After the two condemned men left the presence of the king, the terrified one
demanded of his companion, "Why did you do that? You cannot teach a horse to fly.
You have only prolonged the inevitable. Now we have a whole year to dread our
deaths." "Well," replied the calm one, "four things can happen in one year. The horse could
die. The King could change his mind. He could die. Or the horse just might learn to
fly." The wise careerist will recognize that he must use common sense when applying
positive procrastination. It is like salt. A little brings the cooking to its best; too
much spoils it all. Procrastination must never be used as an excuse for action. Common sense says that procrastination in decision making can be a very valuable
management tool, provided it is conscious and controlled. XXX Greenwood is a former Senior Vice President of American Express. For information

Are Your Career Strategies Working For You?

2008-02-11T20:27:00.001-08:00

By Don Monteith You may be a recent college graduate - or just out of high school
wondering what's next in your career search or worried about
making the "right" decision when a job offer comes. All of us have
been there so don't be over anxious, it'll all come together. Most of us have more than one job during the course of our working
career - maybe 5 or 6 career paths before we reach retirement in
this fast paced, changing marketplace. One day you'll LOOK BACK and wonder how it all came to be... your
beautiful family, nice BIG house, new Lexus in the driveway, a new
pick-up truck for leisure and pulling the inboard cruiser to the lake.
Hit the big-time and live anywhere your heart desires. Few of us will ever wish we'd gone to MORE meetings - attended more
political dinners - worked longer hours. When you see the guy or gal
with a long history of director; President; Chairman; etc. of numerous
local charities; Chambers of Commerce; the United Way.... there is
a message within to be discovered. Nothing beats discovering your DREAM job and spending a lifetime
doing FUN stuff, it's like being paid for something you'd gladly do
for free. Find a hobby that you can turn into earning your livelihood
or money machine. Now, that's like winning the Publisher's Clearing
House lottery in my book. Everyone tells YOU... keep your JOB and be happy. Don't give up a
good thing. However, that's someone elses opinion... NOT yours and
it's YOU with the decision making challenge and power.... move on if
this is not your DREAM JOB. It's your God given RIGHT to follow YOUR dreams.... where YOUR passion
lies and pulls at your heart strings. Don't let anyone else make the
decision for you.... it yours to make and live with. WHAT DO YOU SEE? Feel? Look around you today.... is your BOSS someone who is supportive and
an encourager where you are? Is he/she a lousy supervisor? Is the
equipment GOOD? - location GOOD? - co-workers GREAT? May as well bring
up the daily commute to work... how much drive time? MY POINT IS.... ....don't waste YOUR time and energy in the wrong place. There's good
value in VISUALIZING.... "picturing" your dream job. Spend your 'break'
time on "seeing" your future in the 'right' place. It can be another
job or in your own business if you're an entrepreneur personality, just
know that NOT everyone wants their own business. Most business owners put in 60 to 100 hours a week... to make about
the same money they'd earn in 40 hours working for someone else. The
point is... if it's NOT your passion.... don't do it for the money but

Overcoming the 7 Roadblocks Women with Families Face Making Career Changes

2008-02-09T20:32:00.001-08:00

By Monique Houde Family is the driving force of our lives. You need family to support you and in most homes you need money to support your family. You work to support your family but you usually end up spending little time with them because of your 9-5 job. According to a Gallop poll 70% of Americans hate their jobs. Life is funny sometimes. Its so easy to find yourself in a job you dont love, in a career that doesnt drive you or longing for passion in our work. Sometimes we find ourselves there after even a long road of education in a field we were certain was the right choice for us. The good thing about life is that it is forever changing; sometimes due to circumstances and sometimes due to personal choices. I would argue that we have many more personal choices that we think we do. For every reason someone gives me that they cant make a change, I can give them two reasons they need to. There are certainly roadblocks that can seem to disable our dreams but I believe with the right beliefs, motivation, accountability and resources, all things are possible. Lets look at overcoming some of the most common obstacles women face making career changes that will allow them more time with their family. 1. Finding the right career that fuels your passion. How great would it be to wake up every morning and be excited to work? How about loving what you do so much that you talk about it with everyone you know? We are all born with natural talents and abilities. We use them when we are young and believe it or not we still use them every day. Its all about tuning in to yourself and recognizing what makes you tick. Tuning in means paying very close attention to the things you do in your regular routine that bring you great pleasure. What could you do for hours on end and never realize how much time has passed. What are the things you do every day that get your juices flowing. What feeeeeels good and motivates you to do more? And equally it is wise to look at the things in your life that you dont enjoy. What makes you cringe? What do you put off til the last minute? You know what Im talking about! We all have those things and they are best not to be the things that take up the majority of our time. Take this first step and start tuning in. 2. Making the kind of money that will pay the bills and more. There are several jobs that pay a lot of money but it is up to you to define a lot of money. You may need to look at the bigger picture. How much is it worth to you to be able to not commute an hour to work? Not only will you save on gas and wear and tear on your car, but also you will be saving precious time with your family. You can put a dollar amount on some things but not all. Now to determine what careers will bring you the amount of money that you have defined as enough or a lot. Do some research. After you have gone through the exercise detailed above, you will be able to see what careers entail the things you enjoy the most. The Internet is a beautiful tool where you can see the salary ranges for different careers (http://content.salary.monster.com/?WT_srch=1&WT.mc_n=01;CRC;GOO). Maybe you want to branch out on your own. Having a life coach can significantly help you in figuring out what works best for you given your skills and what resources you will need to achieve your goals. 3. Keeping health insurance. There is a certain security to working for a company, paying a set amount of money every paycheck and not worrying about health insurance. There are several plans available to entrepreneurs and women in business that offer customized plans for your specific family needs. Check online for small business health insurance and check out the options. There are several plans that can meet your needs and when you are making the money you want this will not be an issue and until then you can always take advantage of a cobra plan where you pay the group rate for insurance for a period of time until you find the right plan for you. 4. Sticking to your goals and staying motivated. This is a tricky one. There are several steps to creating your goals and then a different set of tools to help you stick to them. You may have more than one goal. Your first goal may be to spend more time with your family. You can begin doing this way before you determine what career you would like to move into. Another goal may be to leave your current job by a certain time. Yet another may be to make a certain amount of money in your first year. Breaking down your goals into categories will help you to stick to them more easily. Family goals, career goals and money goals are a few good ones to start with. You can expand your list as you see success with these first three. Dont get discouraged, many people try out goals and revise them several times before accomplishing them. Just remember they are yours make them attainable and fun! As far as staying motivated it is hugely important to be extremely specific as to why you really want to accomplish the goal. I want to spend more time with my kidsgoodbut why? What about that is important to you or your family? I want to make $100Kgoodbut why? What will it make you feel when you accomplish that? Make sure you have a partner that can help keep you accountable. 5. Identifying resources needed. There are so many resources out there for you to draw from when making transitions such as this. There are internal resources; talents you have, people you know, places you have worked for, the list is endless. Tap into those when looking at making any change. What do I have at my fingertips that can help me accomplish what Im setting out to do? Write these down! These are the skills I have, these are the friends family and co-workers that can help me, these are the places I have come in contact with that have things I may need to use. There are also external resources. Places that you have yet to tap into; the Internet; newspapers; people, again, the list is unlimited. This is where the work comes in. Identifying what is out there that will help you with your task at hand. Make it fun. Several people I have worked with have realized that it is very useful to have another person to brainstorm with. 6. Timing the transition. This is a very flexible thing. It may change as you accomplish certain aspects of your goals. You might feel the need to have all of your eggs aligned to feel comfortable making your move. Your family needs may change and it will be good to stay flexible here. Part of your goals will be attaching a timeline to certain things and when those things are accomplished you can then move on to the next phase of that goal or a whole new goal. Be patient with yourself and ask others to have patience with you too. As long as you are making progress and achieving successes you are headed in the right direction. Trust your gut; you will know when the timing is right. 7. Dealing with nay-sayers. There will always be some skeptic ready to burst your balloon. Someone is bound to tell you that you cant do it, you shouldnt do it, or ask you why you arent just happy with what you have. You and only you know what is best for your family and your familys needs. Trust yourself. If you are waking up every morning almost in tears at the thought of heading to work, then you need a change. People say things all the time for several different reasons. Some are envious that you have the guts to try something new. Some are miserable themselves and you know the saying! Some simply think they know whats best for you because they have lived longer than you. Some may even have great intentions by warning you about the risks and for that reason you should certainly explore the risks ahead of time so you come from a place of knowledge when the subject is brought up. With that said, go ahead and make choices to enhance your life and take the nay-sayers out to lunch when its all said and done. You will be happy to do it because you will BE happy when you are spending more time with your family while making all the money you need.

Traditional Chinese Herbs for Modern Health

2008-02-08T16:25:00.001-08:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kah_Joon_Liow] Kah Joon Liow Traditional Chinese herbs are given according to their Qi and Blood energy. Thats right, each herb has a particular energy and when matched with the energy of the person, can restore the persons health. So there are two elements here: energy of the personenergy of the herbs And they are combined on a case-by-case basis according to the requirements of the individual. The practice of Chinese medicine generally revolves around cooling what is hot and warming what is cold. Chinese herbs are instrumental in balancing the energies of a person, and have been proven over the centuries to be both safe and effective. Chinese Herbs and Their Energies The energy effects of Chinese herbs have been observed by skilled Taoist and Buddhist physicians for centuries. By closely examining individual substances, their characteristics were recorded. How its done is pretty amazing. A physician would take a single substance and through Qigong (qi exercises) and meditation, feel the energetic qualities of the substance. In this way, each part of a plant seed, root, leave, bark and each animal shell or insect and their qualities was methodically classified. When giving herbs, three things must be considered: What is the energy of the herb is it warming or cooling?What is the effect of its energy increasing or decreasing?To which organ or part of the body is energy directed? Chinese Herbal Formula By mixing herbs in a balanced combination, Chinese herbal formulas can be used to remedy a variety of conditions. Such formulas are known as patents. Several herbs together have a stronger effect than a single herb. At the same time, formulas provide greater safety because an individual herb with a particularly strong energy, can be offset by other herbs. If youve been to a Chinese herbalist before, youll have seen first hand herbs being prescribed. This is the way Chinese herbal medicine is practiced. Even though acupuncture may be more well-known in the West as a procedure of TCM, herbal medicine can actually treat people quickly and more effectively in some cases. Chinese herbs have strong effects but they are gentle in their action and nourishes both the blood and qi. In China, they are part of the normal diet, as medicinal plants are frequently use in boiling soups and other forms of Chinese cooking.

Grapefruit and Its Natural Benefits

2008-02-08T03:10:00.001-08:00

By Cindy Ng The grapefruit occupies a high place among the citrus fruits because of its flavor, its appetizing properties and its refreshing qualities. The fruit is often very large. It varies in color and may have a pale yellow or pinkish flesh. The rind is usually quarter to half an inch thick. The grapefruit is indigenous to Indo-China, Thailand and Malaysia. It has spread to other hot countries from these lands. It is now extensively grown in West Indies, Israel, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, USA and India. It is nutritive and refrigerant; and possesses very much the same properties as the orange, lemon and lime. The seedless variety is the best as it often contains greater amount of sugar, calcium and phosphorus. The grapefruit is often used as table salad and is taken together with other fruit and vegetables. It is sometimes cut into half, and the seeds and the hard pith removed from then center. The cavity is then filled with sugar which is also sprinkled over the cut surface. It is left for one hour in a covered plate and then taken. Grapefruit is an excellent appetizer. It promotes salivary and gastric digestion. It is an important health builder and also a tonic. In spite of its often sharp, sub-acid taste, the fresh grapefruit has an alkaline reaction after digestion. The citric acid of the fruit is oxidized in the human system and hence the effect is to increase the alkalinity of the fluids of the body. Its juice is beneficial in the prevention and treatment of acidity and many diseases caused by too much acid in the body system. The fruit is also valuable in relieving constipation. The pulp, when wholly taken, supplies healthy bulk to aid bowel action. It is beneficial in maintaining the health of intestines and is regarded as a preventive food item against dysentery, diarrhea, enteritis, and other infective diseases of the digestive tract. When having influenza, the juice of grapefruit is an excellent remedy as it helps to reduce acidity in the system and its bitter properties arising from a substance called 'maringin', tones up the system and the digestive tract. The juice of grapefruit is also an excellent diet in all fevers. It quenches thirst and removes the burning sensation produced by the fever. It should be taken mixed with water. Grapefruit contains a natural 'quinine' and hence is valuable in the treatment of malaria. This 'quinine' is also beneficial in feverish colds. It can be extracted from the fruits by boiling a quarter of a grapefruit and then straining the pulp. This wonderful fruit could also be used as natural remedies to treat diabetes, fatigue, scanty urination and others.

Controlling House Plant Pests

2008-02-07T01:34:00.001-08:00

By Briscoe White Aphids, Mealybugs, Scale and Spidermites are the most common house plant pests. If not properly treated, any one of these bugs could cause serious damage, even death, to your plants. Mealybugs: crawling insects that are closely related to scales. As the pinkish bugs mature, they form a white cottony mass. They damage plants by sucking out sap of the underside of the leaves. This may cause leaf distortion, yellowing, stunting and the death of the plant. --best solution is to dip a cotton swab in alcohol and touch it to the colony of pests. These are difficult pests and if the plant is overwhelmed, it may need to be tossed. Aphids: green, red, pink, brown or black soft-bodied insects that infect most garden plants. Aphids are usually about 1/8 long. This sucking insect causes foliage to curl up and become discolored and fall off. --mist the plant with water, regularly, to keep these pests at bay. If the pests are out of hand, an insecticidal soap works best. Scale: oval shaped insects that are found on the undersides of leaves. They are usually yellowish-green, brown or black. Scales insert their mouthparts into the plant and suck sap throughout the summer and fall. Affected plants will yellow and die. -- a 1:1 mix of alcohol and water sprayed on the scale. You may need to rub gently with a cotton ball to remove the scale. These pests are persistent, so make sure that you check regularly. Spider Mites: minute pests found on the undersides of leaves. If not treated promptly, spider mites may spin fine webs which will eventually cover the entire plant. Mites have a speckled appearance. In a dry environment, these insects multiply quickly. --80% of these pests can eliminated by gently washing the plant with water, either misting with a hose or in the kitchen sink. Regular misting is a preventative measure that I highly recommend Then treat with an insecticidal soap. Prevention is the key to maintaining pest-free plants. Be watchful, and be sanitary! Water plants in the morning. Keep plants clean with a regular shower, especially effective with spider mites. Supplies and soil should be sterile. Let fresh air circulate between the plants. Check them often. And, dont immediately resort to chemical warfare at the first sign of trouble. Look for alternatives that are plant derived; these products are now easy to find.

When Its Cold Outside - Its Chili

2008-01-31T03:00:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-29T17:44:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-28T22:19:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-27T16:40:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-26T21:21:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-25T23:31:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-24T19:46:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-23T18:17:00.001-08:00

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?

2008-01-22T17:59:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-20T01:18:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-19T02:52:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-16T00:54:00.001-08:00

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.

Adoption Agencies - Choosing The Best One!

2008-01-14T04:43:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-10T03:45:00.001-08:00

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.

Aromatherapy and Chakra Meditations for Healing - Seventh Chakra - Sahasrara - Crown Chakra

2008-01-09T00:23:00.001-08:00

By KG Stiles Seventh Chakra - Sahasrara - Crown Chakra ~ SOUND ~ WHITE VIOLET Aromatherapy for healing the Seventh Chakra - Inhale a pure essential oil or blend with harmonic and synchronizing qualities - the sweet, earthy and citrus aromas of Spikenard, Frankincense, Lavender and Neroli are excellent choices. Focus your awareness at the Sahasrara (Crown) Chakra, located at the top of your head. From Sanskrit Sahasrara can be translated as Thousand Petaled Lotus. The lotus blossom is a symbol for purity and spirituality. See a Whirling Ball of White-Violet Colored light pulsing with energy in this center. This is your vital life force energy representing your potential for Self liberation from the phenomenal world of duality and for experiencing a spiritually enlightened state of BLISS. The Sahasrara Chakra's nature is infinite. Through this energy center you continually give rise to new thoughts and ideas. Thought represents the highest function of the mind. It is with your mind that you create your belief systems which control your actions or reactions so that you become like a self fulfilling prophecy. Aim high and true with your thoughts so that you may attain the state of enlightenment for which you are destined, beyond all concepts. The primary function of the Sahasrara Chakra is liberation! The Sahasrara Chakra connects you directly to Divine Source Energy. Through your Sahasrara Chakra you receive direct wisdom, insight and guidance from the Divine. The Sahasrara Chakra symbolizes the highest state of enlightenment and spiritual development, the awakened state. A balanced and healthy Sahasrara Chakra is related to a healthy functioning Pineal Gland which acts as a key hormonal regulator. 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. A regular practice of these exercises will result in increased amplitude for each of your Major Chakras and give you the necessary stamina to dispel life obstacles. Increased amplitude of your energy centers will greatly enhance your vital life force and positively impact your health and longevity. Your regular practice of these guided visualization and affirmation exercises is a conscious investment you can choose to make in building your personal power which will enable you to manage and direct your spirit. PLEASE NOTE: There are many cheap, synthetic copies of aromatic oils, but these are not recommended for therapeutic use. For best results purchase the highest quality oils you can possibly find. Use certified organic essential oils, or oils that have been tested and are pesticide free. Aromatherapy is a gentle and noninvasive complementary health care system used for balancing and synchronizing your body, mind, spirit and emotions to enhance your health.

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

2008-01-08T03:51:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-07T00:56:00.001-08:00

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

2008-01-04T22:58:00.001-08:00

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?

2008-01-04T00:26:00.001-08:00

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. Below are some links for websites that provide information on international student scholarships and financial aid for international students: I am working as faculty at AchieversPoint.com provides you qualitative study materials for GRE, GMAT, SAT, TOEFL and IELTS preparations that are based on purely practical knowledge and research.

Tips For Surviving As A Corporate Refugee

2008-01-03T00:08:00.001-08:00

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.

11 Things To Keep Your Mind Off Food

2007-12-31T02:52:00.001-08:00

By Tracie Johansen Do you find yourself thinking about food all day? Here are some tips to help with food cravings and help you finally lose weight. 1. Use activity in place of eating. Go to the spa or health club. Clean your house, turn on some music and dance around the house. Walk, run, go swimming, ride a bike, or just keep moving for 20-30 minutes. 2. Wait ten minutes when you have a craving and start doing something to distract yourself from the urge to eat. Go through pictures and organize for a scrap book, try a new hair style, try new eyeshadow colors, anything to keep your mind off food. 3. If you have pictures of yourself when you were thinner take them out and look at them, hang them on the fridge, see yourself that way now. Imagine yourself looking the same as the pictures and feeling more energy from carrying less weight. 4. Meditate - sit in a comfortable chair and close your eyes. Relax each part of your body starting at your feet all the way to the top of your head. Repeat to yourself, I am a thin and healthy person. I have plenty of energy to do all that I need to do. Repeat this over and over for 5-15 minutes. Do this as many times a day as it takes to keep those food craving in check. 5. Wiggle those cravings away. Lift your arms up over your head and wiggle your fingers, chew gum, tap your feet, act like your conducting a symphony, just keep wiggling. After a few minutes you will not only lift your spirits you may actually forget you were having a craving not to mention you will be burning extra calories. 6. Go out dancing and try to dance as many dances as you can in a row. Order a glass of water or flavored water to keep you hydrated. Just do not have any high calorie drinks. Dancing can burn up to 400 calories per hour and cheer you up so you won't think about food. 7. If you need something for the house or office walk to the store instead of driving. Take along your kids or a friend and make it fun. 8. Do you love to watch television at night but just can not seem to do it without snacking? Take up needle point, knitting or crocheting. Your hands will be to busy to snack and you can make great gifts for your friends and family they will cherish. 9. Grab your kids and go on a nature walk. Make a list of things for the kids to find. ie; 5 different kind of leaves, rocks, 4 leaf clovers, trash that needs to be picked up (take a bag and teach them how to keep our earth clean), or anything you can think of. Not only will this keep you from eating you will get some quality time with the kids. 10. RELAX - stress can lead to overeating. If you find yourself stress eating, learn how to relax. By simply learning to relax you can alleviate the cravings. 11. Take up yoga to help you get in touch with yourself. Yoga is relaxing and will help burn calories. Doing simple yoga stretches will help keep your mind off of eating. Copyright 2007 - Tracie Johansen - Free Gift - 26 Animated Ab Exercises eBook. You will love it!
