People belonging to ancient civilizations were sensible enough to recognize the importance of cosmetics and engaged in elaborate eye makeup. The tradition continues even today and the modern beauties deem eye make up as the best way to heighten physical attractiveness. Hence, no matter what color or shape your eyes are, clever usage of eye make up can turn them to beauty assets, giving them greater depth and meaning. How to get on with your eye make up? Usage of eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara in keeping with essential beauty tips completes the makeup for your eyes, unless and until you have dark circles under you eyes. You may hide your dark circles with a few dots of concealer. Eye Shadow Available in a beautiful array of powders, creams and glittery dustings, eye shadows highlight and define the eyes by creating depth. Natural shades that go well with your skin tone will enhance your looks and add to your individuality. Therefore, select earthy tones such as beige, brown, gold or plum. Apply dark colored shadow on your eyelids if you have large eyes; this will make the eyes appear small. Using lighter color helps give eyes a larger effect. Eyeliner Give your eyes the real definition by applying a thin line of eyeliner. The line should be as close to the lash line as possible. If you want a heavy make up, you may go for a darker and thicker line. Going by standard beauty tips, you should stick to natural colors such as black or brown or else give in to your imagination. Pencil, liquid eyeliners are available in various colors. To achieve the best definition, line both the lower and upper lid. Line the upper lid from the inside corner to the outside corner; for the lower lid draw a line just under the lashes. Mascara Mascara gives you a majestic gaze by framing your eyes in beautiful flaps of thick, dark, long eyelashes. Again, black and brown are hot favorites in mascara. Generally, two coats of mascara are applied; however, you will be required to give the first coating a little drying up time before you go ahead with the final finish. Makeup is no less than art and so is eye makeup. The secret to success with this art is not overdoing. A valuable beauty tip for you would be  Indulge in eye makeup to the degree that it keeps the natural beauty of your eyes intact, giving them more glitter, expression and life.

A funeral is an assortment of customs according to ones religious affiliations and culture. In the US and Canada, most funeral rituals are divided into three parts: visitation, funeral and burial. At the visitation ceremony, the embalmed body of the deceased is placed in a casket for friends and family to view the body. Usually, visitation takes place one or two evenings before the funeral, and most attendees sign a book kept by the deceaseds survivors to record the feelings of the friends and family members. Sometimes, a family might also display photographs taken of the deceased during his lifetime, or some prized possession at the visitation. The ceremony usually ends with a prayer service, and in a Catholic funeral the ceremony might include a rosary. The visitation ceremony follows a memorial service or funeral service, and generally take place at either a funeral home or church. The funeral service is often officiated by a clergyman and includes prayers, reading from the Bible, the singing of hymns and words of comfort by the clergy. Sometimes a relative or close friend also gives a eulogy detailing happy memories and achievements. Finally, the coffin is closed after the attendees view the deceased's body for the last time. The funeral service is concluded with a burial service, conducted at the side of the grave, tomb or crematorium, where the body is being buried or cremated at the conclusion. Sometimes, pallbearers or close relatives and friends of the deceased carry the casket from the chapel to the hearse and from the hearse to the site of the burial service. In some traditions, a meal or other gathering at the deceaseds church or another off-site location follows the burial service. Funerals are somber occasions, and etiquette demands that one should attend a funeral of a friend or acquaintance to pay his last homage to the deceased. Funerals provides detailed information on Funerals, Presidential Funerals, Military Funerals, Readings for Funerals and more. Funerals is affiliated with Golden Caskets.

If some crucial piece of information is missing, my expert may come to a conclusion about your case that is inaccurate because he doesn't have everything he needs. Image what happens if your case proceeds to trial and you don't tell me everything in your history or background and we don't learn it during the discovery part of your case. At trial you can be sure the defense will have learned it through their investigation and it'll blow up on you at trial. I guarantee it. The defense will take the missing information and ask our expert the following questions: Q: Doctor, if you were aware that Mr. Jones was a drug addict, would that change your opinion of the case? Q: Doctor, if you knew that the patient chose not to take his blood thinner medications to prevent stroke, and he had a stroke, would that change your opinion about the treatment rendered by these doctors? Q: Did you know that Mr. Jones told the emergency room nurses that he wasn't allergic to any medication? Q: Assume the nurses asked him if he was allergic and he said no. Q: Assume that the nurses gave him penicillin because he specifically told them he wasn't allergic to any medications. Q: Assuming those facts to be true, and by the way, you know that he didn't tell the nurses he was allergic, right? Q:  If he didn't tell the nurses he was allergic to penicillin, and they asked if he was allergic, are you still saying they are responsible for the reaction he suffered when he was given penicillin? So what happened here? The expert doctor was never told that the patient failed to inform the nurses that he was allergic. He came to conclusions about the treatment based on incomplete and inaccurate information. The physician had to concede the point on cross-examination that if he had not told the nurses about his allergy, then there was no way the hospital could be responsible for his allergic reaction. Let's look at it another way: Why would a client with injuries hide information from his lawyer? The reasons are endless. Some clients feel that it's none of the attorney's business. Some don't like others to know their intimate details of an illness or personal details about their finances. Whatever the reason, a client that withholds information may seriously hamper and jeopardize their case. The key is to let the attorney determine what information is important and relevant. If I know about a problem in the case, let's say someone was convicted of a crime in the past, I know how to deal with it properly and can advise you how to handle the questions that you will be asked. If you lie about your past history (Q: Have you ever been convicted of a crime?) that is literally the 'kiss of death' for your case. Remember, your credibility is the most important part of your case. If you are found to have lied during your testimony, the Judge will instruct the jurors that they may disregard all or part of your testimony. In New York, this jury instruction is called "Falsus in uno," which means that if you lied about one thing, there is the possibility that you have lied about other things as well. How can a jury believe you if you cannot even acknowledge your past problems? When an injured client comes to a lawyer for help they must build a mutual trusting relationship. You must feel confident with your lawyer and his or her abilities. If you don't, you should seriously consider getting another lawyer.

If you are sick, you've lost some balance, temporarily I hope. Hang with me here. Picture yourself swinging between Yang and Yin over a precipice.  When you stop swinging you see a ledge.  You stand on it, safely. Now, if you're unfamiliar with Eastern medicine, consider the Aristotelian Mean.  Aristotle advocated following a path between two extremes.  If you swing too far in either direction you are apt to get sick. Since I have skimmed the surface of Eastern Philosophy, Aristotle, Stephen Hawkings' string theory, brain research, religions, meditation, and Western medical science, I am no authority, but I can show you how they relate to good health. First, Yang refers to the masculine, left-brained energy in everyone and Yin the right-brained, feminine energy.  When these two are out of balance, things go awry.  Acupuncture is the medical practice of releasing blocked flow of energy to regain balance and good health.  Obviously, it works. String theory, I think, says everything in the universe consists of strings of energy.  Nothing is solid.  (Phew, wish I could understand  physics!) Brain research shows three major parts to the human brain: reptile, limbic, and neo-cortex.  We use our reptile brain whenever we feel our survival threatened.  (Explains continual warfare.) The limbic system, our midbrain or early mammalian brain, stores our emotions.  We use the neo-cortex for thinking, forward planning and problem solving.  All three brains are interdependent and function together. The neo-cortex houses the right and left brain.  When either of these is too far out of balance we suffer. You may know, slightly, an accountant or computer programmer who is so left-brained he is practically a hermit.  Or you may know an artist who is so right-brained he forgets to pay his rent and is often in some kind of trouble. I think most physicists use all three brains in balance.  I may be wrong. Experiments with meditation have shown some amazing results. Dr. Richard Davidson of the W.M. Keck Laboratory for Functional Brain Imaging and Behavior studied the brain waves of some Tibetan Buddhist monks, including the Dalai Lama.   He found unusually high amounts of gamma brain wavesbrain waves that increase compassion for others. Compassion comes out of good balance and good health. Bill Harris, Director of Centerpointe, created a sound track designed to create the same brain waves experienced by the Buddhist monks.  I have benefited from Centerpointe's sound tracks.  They put my left and right brains in balance and kicked out my shy bone by broadcasting my words subliminally into each ear at different rates of speed. Learning Strategies, Inc. has a program called Spring Forest QiGong that teaches you how to heal yourself whenever you get sick.  Guess howbalancing energy!  I recommend the book, "Born a  Healer" by Chunyi Lin. Finally, there's nothing like Western medicine when you tear a meniscus or get a concussion, among other off-balance things. In our Western World fear hovers below the surface.  The more money and power we have, the more fear.  We are not openly afraid.  It shows up as anxiety in our dreams and in our bodies. Anxiety is catching, like bird flu.  I spent a lifetime hunching up my shoulders, anxiously expecting to be yelled at for something I did wrong.  My shoulders finally gave out.  I had them replaced. Now they set off security alarms.  Sweet revenge? Since you have read this far, you will be fascinated by "Does Mind-Over-Body Healing Work?" It's an article by an African professor of Western Medicine that begins, "Life is energy, and all living beings are energy beings." Google the title. You may be surprised by his thesis. Here's to your good balance and good health.

Well, it doesn't get any less strange for your forty-fourth anniversary.  Most likely as the list makers were getting to this end of the list, they were just running out of ideas.  If you think not, just try on this year's offering for size.  What exactly is it?  Well, you're going to be taking your spouse to the supermarket. That's right.  This year's anniversary gift idea is groceries.  You know, those things that you get at the local Pathmark and bring home to fill your stomachs with.  Well, this year you get to make those groceries a special anniversary gift for your lovely wife or handsome husband.  If you're scratching your head wondering how you're going to pull this off, we've got a few ideas that should do just the trick. One idea is to go on a shopping spree.  No, not just take a trip to the supermarket.  A real shopping spree complete with gift certificate and all the trimmings.  Considering how expensive groceries are just for a normal day out shopping, you're going to want to make that gift certificate out for a sizable amount.  We'll leave that amount up to you, but just remember, $100 barely feeds a family of three for a week these days.  So you probably want to make that certificate out for at least $250 if not more.  You can offer to go with your spouse on this spree or let him or her go alone.  Make it their choice. If the idea of the shopping spree seems a little corny, what you may want to do is have certain groceries delivered to the house as a surprise.  If you really want this to be an eventful day, call up a number of different places that maybe specialize in different kinds of foods and have them all make a delivery at different times during the day.  Make sure your spouse is home the whole day.  That way, each time the doorbell rings and there's another delivery person at the door, there's another surprise to go along with him.  The trick here is not to have too many different deliveries.  Three or four should be fine.  After the fourth one, the whole thing might get a little old.  You want to keep the element of surprise.  The second delivery will actually be a bigger surprise than the first one as your spouse will figure that one delivery was the whole gift.  You will get a great reaction to this gift. Of course, if you want to keep the whole thing simple, you can just go out yourself and pick up a few special items from the grocery store that you normally don't get.  For example, if you've been putting off getting that lobster tail because it is too expensive, now is a perfect time to get a few. The only trouble with this year's anniversary gift is that eventually it will be gone, but at least you'll enjoy eating it while you can.

Neuro- and pentapaptides are both &lt;br /&gt;peptides but neuro refers to the very specific functions &lt;br /&gt;of this peptide group, while penta merely refers to the &lt;br /&gt;size of certain peptide molecules. Peptide seems to be the IT word in antiaging skin creams &lt;br /&gt;today. We have copper peptides, amino-polypeptides, &lt;br /&gt;hexapeptides, pentapeptides and now neuropeptides. And then &lt;br /&gt;there are all the variants like acetyl hexapeptide-3 and &lt;br /&gt;palmitoyl pentapeptide (a.k.a palmitoyl oligopeptide). &lt;br /&gt;The list is virtually endless and very confusing to the &lt;br /&gt;non-biochemist. Let me try to help you wade through some of &lt;br /&gt;the jargon. A peptide is simply a small protein which is made up of amino &lt;br /&gt;acids. Peptides are active at very small doses, are highly &lt;br /&gt;specific and have a very good safety profile when used &lt;br /&gt;physiologically  that is, to assist or change an organisms &lt;br /&gt;physical processes. If we take apart some of the peptide labels &lt;br /&gt;above, we can begin to discriminate among them. The use of amino in amino-polypeptide is a bit redundant &lt;br /&gt;because all peptides are made of amino acids. The poly just &lt;br /&gt;means this is a peptide of several amino acids. A hexapeptide &lt;br /&gt;is a chain of exactly six (hexa) amino acids; a pentatpeptide &lt;br /&gt;is a chain of five (penta). One chemist working with a &lt;br /&gt;palmitoylated five-amino-acid-chain peptide named it palmitoyl &lt;br /&gt;pentapeptide, while another chemist studying the same molecule &lt;br /&gt;called it palmitoyl oligopeptide. This is a legitimate, though &lt;br /&gt;less specific, label since oligo means few. And so the &lt;br /&gt;confusion grows. The term neuropeptide is a bit more helpful in that it &lt;br /&gt;actually describes the function of the peptide. Neuropeptides &lt;br /&gt;act as neuromodulators, neurotransmitters, neurohormones, and &lt;br /&gt;hormones. Research into neuropeptides has exploded in recent &lt;br /&gt;years to the extent that there is a scientific journal named &lt;br /&gt;Neuropeptides whose aim is the rapid publication of &lt;br /&gt;original research and review articles, dealing with the &lt;br /&gt;structure, distribution, actions and functions of peptides in &lt;br /&gt;the central and peripheral nervous systems. What is exciting about neuropeptides is their power and reach. &lt;br /&gt;Other neurotransmitters transmit central nervous system &lt;br /&gt;signals in one direction and along a path from A to B. &lt;br /&gt;Neuropeptides transmit omnidirectionally outward and can even &lt;br /&gt;direct transmissions in reverse. As neuromodulators, they can &lt;br /&gt;activate and deactivate other neurotransmitters. The &lt;br /&gt;scientific mind boggles at the potential. The names of some of the neuropeptides may be familiar and &lt;br /&gt;help you to understand the potential of unlocking the secrets &lt;br /&gt;of these peptide molecules. Neuropeptides are grouped into &lt;br /&gt;families based on similarities in their amino acid sequences. &lt;br /&gt;There are the Tachykinins; the Insulins; the Somatostatins; &lt;br /&gt;the Gastrins such as cholecystokinin used to diagnose &lt;br /&gt;gallbladder and pancreatic problems; and the Opioids such as &lt;br /&gt;the enkephalins  the bodys own opiates or painkillers. As to how neuropeptides might affect the skin,&lt;br /&gt;an abstract in the July/August 2003 Brazilian Annals of &lt;br /&gt;Dermatology states:  There is increasing evidence that &lt;br /&gt;cutaneous nerve fibers play a modulatory role in a variety &lt;br /&gt;of acute and chronic skin processes. Local interactions between skin &lt;br /&gt;cells, skin immune components and neuronal tissues occur &lt;br /&gt;specially through neuropeptides  Neuropeptide-related &lt;br /&gt;functions on skin and immune cells, as well ...nerve fibers &lt;br /&gt;in cutaneous inflammatory responses, hypersensitivity &lt;br /&gt;reactions and dermatoses, namely psoriasis, atopic &lt;br /&gt;dermatitis, leprosy and alopecia." Now that you know that a neuropeptide has a function in the &lt;br /&gt;central nervous system and that a pentapeptide might also be &lt;br /&gt;a neuropeptide (having five amino acids in its chain) but not &lt;br /&gt;all neuropeptides are pentapeptides, how can you decide &lt;br /&gt;whether to pay the extra money for the exciting new &lt;br /&gt;neuropeptide creams? You want some evidence that they are &lt;br /&gt;sufficiently more effective to justify the higher price, right? In sorting through all the peptides currently touted for &lt;br /&gt;antiaging skin care, I decided they can be placed into one of &lt;br /&gt;three groups depending on the amount and quality on the &lt;br /&gt;published research and development behind their use in skin care. Some peptides have a lot of published scientific research behind &lt;br /&gt;them. They were developed for medical use and because of their &lt;br /&gt;success, found their way into antiaging cosmeceuticals. Copper &lt;br /&gt;peptide falls into this group since it has been studied and &lt;br /&gt;employed in wound healing since the 1970s. Palmitoyl &lt;br /&gt;pentapeptide also falls into this group. Doctors were already &lt;br /&gt;prescribing Strivectin-SD for stretch mark and scar removal when &lt;br /&gt;clinical studies of its superior wrinkle-reducing properties &lt;br /&gt;were presented at the 20th World Congress of Dermatology in 2002. Other peptides have been developed within the cosmetic industry &lt;br /&gt;and quickly brought to market. The companies are careful to &lt;br /&gt;make no medical claims in order to avoid the lengthy FDA review &lt;br /&gt;process for a drug. Argiriline, a.k.a. acetyl hexapeptide-3, &lt;br /&gt;falls into this group. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that, &lt;br /&gt;similar to Botox, it reduces a muscles ability to tense and form &lt;br /&gt;deep lines of expression. Customer reviews are quite positive &lt;br /&gt;and more companies are incorporating the ingredient into their &lt;br /&gt;treatment lines. In the third group are peptides that are very new or are &lt;br /&gt;proprietary and not widely available. Dr. Nicholas Perricones &lt;br /&gt;neuropeptide creams fall into this category. His neuropeptide &lt;br /&gt;variants all contain the prefix CL. No research labs I could &lt;br /&gt;locate are studying or making the CL variants. Of course, as we &lt;br /&gt;saw above in the case of palmitoyl pentatpeptide, he may have &lt;br /&gt;just given an already known neuropeptide a different name. The consumer has little to go on except Dr. Perricones word. &lt;br /&gt;That is, unless you consider his track record and broad &lt;br /&gt;following. He hasnt yet failed to deliver. His previous &lt;br /&gt;antiaging developments have met with broad acclaim and his &lt;br /&gt;three books have been on the New York Times Bestseller list. Dr. Perricone explains his work with neuropeptides in his third &lt;br /&gt;book "The Perricone Promise" thus. In 'The Wrinkle &lt;br /&gt;Cure' and 'The Perricone Prescription', I introduced a &lt;br /&gt;major theme of my research: the Inflammation-Disease-Aging &lt;br /&gt;Connection. Because inflammation is a great contributor to &lt;br /&gt;accelerated aging, it has been an important focus of my ongoing &lt;br /&gt;scientific research. And we now know that neuropeptides and &lt;br /&gt;peptides play an important role in mediating inflammation. Jean Bowler has been a fitness freak all her life.

Time does not determine success---activity does. There is nothing wrong with working part time, but it is critical that new recruits understand that their success can be tracked back to the level of activity that they put into their business. The facts show that most new distributors quit their businesses within the first few months because they become frustrated over the rejection that invariably comes from working in our industry. I had a recruit that was gung-ho when she first started working her business part time.  She would diligently call 10 people a week and invite them to her house to see her business presentation.  A couple of them actually showed up to the presentation but did not sign up.  The others simply did not show up at all nor did they bother to call her to cancel their appointment.  She was crushed. She continued in this mode for a few months, and sure enough, her pride wounded she ended up quitting the business.  Her friends and her professional relationships were more important to her than being beaten down. As leaders in our industry, we are told to reassure our new prospects that it is not about them and to not take rejection personally, but we are all human creatures and that is easier said than done in real life. Rejection comes from many different sources and since new distributors typically work from their warm market when they first get started, it is family, friends, and business associates who are the first to start beating on your new distributors and begin to steal their dreams and their business building efforts. That is why it hurts so much when we get our first dose of rejection from our initial prospecting efforts.  Because it is our warm market that is rejecting us, it is as if they are invalidating our desire to take control of our lives and create a new future for ourselves. While all of this is normal for first year recruits, they need to understand the best way to get around this problem is to increase the number of people they prospect to.  Talking to more prospects will lead to more new reps which will lead to greater feelings of accomplishment and thus minimize the feelings of rejection. Great, Steve, thanks for sharingbut how do you increase the number of prospects you talk to once youve blasted through your warm market and your ego has had so many shots of rejection fired through it you feel like a block of Swiss cheese? Well, you could try to implement the 3-foot rule.  Isnt that what your up-line has been telling you?  Everyone is a prospect.  If they are within three feet of you and they are breathing, theyre a prospectright?  There is nothing like some good ole belly to belly networking. Get back with me, Dr. Phil, and let me know how that is working out for you. You could try cold calling prospects in your area and hope to find someone looking to buy what you have to offer.  Just grab your local phone book and start calling people.  I mean its all about numbers isnt it?  That seems simple enough, right? While I am sure you will talk to lots of people, I doubt is you will see an increase in your closing ratio that would justify the time you would spend making all those cold calls. There is a better way and if you stick with me Ill share it with you. All of these things happened to me and all of my new recruits until I learned the secrets revealed to me in the Power Call.  I learned things that my up-line NEVER shared with me.  I shared the information I learned with my down-line and unbelievably, our closing ratios are going to go through the roof! The information revealed in the Power Call will never be shared to you by the up-line in your business because it is counter to what the company plan says.  They want you to follow their training plan.  They want you to follow their methods for success.  They want you to follow their lead and their lead only.  They tell you that success is imminent if you will simply follow their plan and dont quit. Thats a bunch of crap.  Here is the truth. Most networking companies know that 95% of their reps are going to give up and quit.  In fact, most of them are counting on it.  Industry statistics are rather alarming and will bear this out. And if you really crunch the numbers, it becomes apparent that these companies cant possibly have all of their reps earning the big bucks.  The systems are designed to only support the few big dogs that you see on stage while the rest continue to work the easy plan of get three and they get three or some other such system. Ive been down that road myself, and then The Power Call revealed to me the techniques and methods needed to explode and expand my business to the tune of 3-5 new reps per day.  I dont know about your comp plan, but I certainly knew what that meant to me and what it would do to MY comp plan. - No more bothering friends - No more bothering business associates - No more hotel meetings - No more home party presentations - No more 3-foot rule - Etc. I urge you to take advantage of this FREE information right now by going to www.abc4mlm.com and find out how to explode and expand your business. Increasing the number of prospects you talk to will certainly lead to fewer rejections, but more importantly, your feeling of accomplishment will sky rocket as you add highly motivated people to your business day in and day out.  I repeat; highly motivated people that are ready to accept what you are offering. So, leave your warm market alone.  Leave that guy sitting next to you on the airplane alone.  Leave that lady at the checkout counter alone and leave that guy in front of you at the bank alone.  Learn the secrets and you will find your efforts will really pay off using a much easier way. Reserve your seat on the next Power Call to change your business and change your life. To you, my fellow network marketer, I wish you unbounded successes.

Richardson So how do you sort out the best baits to hook big carp these days? So-called food baits are very commonly used in carp fishing these days, especially where extreme fishing pressure on many waters means that using quality nutritional bait equals success instead of failure. But how would you make an effective homemade carp bait by using the optimal proven nutritional protein food ingredients levels? What is the starting point for working out what ideal bait protein levels are? Carp have essential carp dietary requirements for proteins, and the aim is to provide a balanced profile of amino acids in your bait. This sounds technical, so a scoring system is used to measure the nutritional biological value of an individual ingredient. It is best to notice that this value is based on digestion by humans. There is little data of this type from directly testing carp baits in carp digestion. However the latest and most accurate method of measuring biological nutritional value, and most importantly for carp baits, food protein nutritional value is the new American measurement called: The fixed dietary protein percentage. When we mention protein carp baits its often misunderstood that the amount of protein type ingredients we use in our baits need to be in very high levels to be effective, as in the old high protein baits. Such protein baits were estimated to have a carp biological convertible protein content as high as 75 % protein or even as high as 95% protein! This content was often achieved by using milk protein extractions and derivatives such as casein, lactalbumin and sodium caseinate, among others, mostly having a protein value, in human consumption of over 70% protein. Since those times it has been observed that carp baits with much lower protein values are very effective in both the long and short-term. Today baits are often made with an estimated carp convertible protein content of just 30%, but are still termed high nutritional baits and in fact are superior in design to the old high protein baits because their nutritional properties are more balanced and efficiently used by carp while maintaining very high attraction. The dietary protein a carp essentially needs, can be tested scientifically, using a mixture of high quality casein and gelatin, supplemented with crystalline amino acids. This is fed to the carp in graded levels, and over time, the carp are measured for optimum growth per graded protein level. All this can be shown on a graph with Growth Response (vertical line), and Dietary Protein Level (horizontal line). There will be a Maximum Growth Response at the point where the Optimum Dietary Protein Level is reached. In carp nutrition tests, its called the Break Point and allows for the fixed dietary protein percentage to be calculated; as a percentage of the carps essential diet. This is the type of figure that is used to design specific proprietary, carp and koi dietary feeds. Please notice, in the tests, food fat content was always supplemented when not present in sufficient levels in the protein and carbohydrate sources. These provide essential fatty acid groups, needed especially for cell wall structure and maximal protein synthesis, among other uses. Fat levels never read over 5 % to 10 % and averaging 2.5 to 5 % of the total dry feed. There are health consequences for fish as a result of excess fat in bait, for example Vitamin E deficiency. The protein to carbohydrate to fat ratio is extremely important in producing the healthiest carp; resulting in optimum protein digestion and assimilation. This converts to the fastest carp growth and weight gains. More energy is released in digestion when the protein, carbohydrate and fat levels are in optimum levels. This balance has proven to catch more big fish in the long-term. Anglers have found they caught as many carp on baits of only mid-low protein, for example: 40 % to 60 % protein, as a bait of very high, protein 85 % for example. However, much below 30% protein, (for example 25 %,) and the catch rates started to drop by comparison to higher protein baits. The subject carp bait nutritional value bait success, hinges around the carps essential daily dietary requirements and key dietary deficiencies. If a carp water is very rich and carp have very few dietary deficiencies, then the bait that offers the best nutritional value at the least energy in digestive cost would most likely achieve the most success long-term as the carp will instinctively gain benefits from the bait an this encourages them to keep eating it. This would be a big advantage over using low nutritional value bait on the same rich water. A great diversity of carp baits are being fed to the fish on many carp waters today. And in amounts that were unheard of 25 years ago. There are many more carp anglers feeding up the fish with free baits these days. Consequently, the fish in different waters respond differently to this free food. This reaction may depend more on the water quality, or availability of natural food, or on the consistent level of fishing pressure or on high or low stock levels. Some waters will still produce bigger fish, regularly on poorer quality baits or instant attractor flavored carbohydrate based baits. By far the majority of big fish waters, certainly the pressured ones in the UK and in Europe, produce the very biggest fish more and more consistently on nutritional food baits. This is no coincidence and relates back to carp essential dietary requirements that must be met for basic survival. This does lead to many big fish treating nutritional baits as an essential naturalized food supply since they are fed them permanently 24 hours a day on many hard pressured waters! So in remembering that a low protein, carbohydrate based bait may only contain:  6 % to 14 % protein, as in the case of a semolina based bait for example. This is not enough to sustain a big carp healthily without supplementation with other nutrients and natural foods sources. This is compared to fish meal based bait for example, with high levels of predigested protein ingredients incorporated. Such bait is far superior nutritionally and big fish will tend to eat this preferentially, especially in a highly stocked fishery. So, by providing carp with the optimum ratios of nutrients at the least digestive energy cost, gives more energy to the carp to eat more food, therefore giving you more opportunity for more takes and more fish! Arnold Schwarzenegger built his body using the principle of a high nutritional value diet with an intense exercise regime. He regularly consumed the highest muscle convertible biological value proteins, like whey and caseins. Such dietary supplements represented the very highest quality available to body builders in the world, at that time. He consumed high levels of carbohydrates, only for extra energy, while he trained, so that his protein nutrition was maximized and converted for repair and growth and building of those huge muscles to win his Mr Universe Titles! A very high profile UK fisherman, Julian Cundiff, achieved outstanding and very consistent big carp catch results for years, by regularly feeding his waters with high nutritional value food bait. This approach was used extremely successfully, and the bait ingredients he used remained basically unchanged for years. It was designed using the balanced protein food and amino acid profile bait principles, derived from scientifically proven carp dietary requirements. The appliance of scientific research may sometimes be hit and miss and there are certainly few proven absolutes in carp bait making and nutrition, due to lack of direct scientific testing.

It is once&amp;#8209;in&amp;#8209;a-lifetime event. This is the day you remember for years to come. You spend a significant amount of time planning for this day. After months of anxious waiting for this day, it finally arrives. From the time you wake up till you say bye to your last guest, you hardly get the time to think that it is actually happening. Then you find that the event is over and what you are left with is all your memories of the day.  Every time you think about it, you start living those moments again and again. This is the time you realize why it is so important to have a professional photographer and videographer on that special day to capture those magical moments of your wedding. These people capture an d create the unforgettable images and video that will be treasured for years to come. As you won't be able to look at all corners of the reception hall at once to catch all of the special moments of the day, it the duty of a professional photographer to take care of all that. After years, it will be priceless to watch and listen your friends and relatives just as they were, gathered around you on this day of days. Your wedding video also tells the true story of your event from start to finish. V ideo is a great way to capture the moments of your event forever. It preserves the moments exactly as they happened. A videographer follows alongside you in your closest moments to capture all those personalities that make the day special for you.  Event photography and videography are two sides of the same coin. They run in parallel to each other. Event photography runs in many sessions throughout the day. It is not just limited to the wedding ceremony and reception. It includes informal engagement, pre&amp;#8209;ceremonies at home or site, formal group photos of families and guests and a lot more. Event photography is like an art which demands proper equipment and the right skills. It requires the person to be creative and effective under pressure. A professional event photographer has all the training and experience required to create unforgettable images and preserve the memories of your event day. He has in depth technical knowledge of all aspects of conventional and digital photography.  To select the right event photographer and videographer is vital in ensuring that your event runs smoothly. As soon as your event date is finalized, you should start your search for a professional photographer and videographer. At this point, it becomes difficult to decide which one to choose for the day. What's good for one may not be the best option for another. A lot of your friend and relatives might tell you about different photographers, but whomever you choose, it is important to feel comfortable with the person. He should be someone whom you can trust as well as enjoy his or her company.  When you ask for photographers' portfolios for sample work, it is better to look for whole event albums. An album from beginning to end is much more accurate representation of a photographer's work. Try to judge the photographer's style from his work. Try to search for the images where the photographer has shown the alertness to capture natural spontaneous images. For videography, inquire about the type of video camera and technology that they will use. Use of highest quality technology such as wireless microphone in videography provides a better sounding movie throughout the video.  After you have selected a photographer and videographer, discuss about the prices, deposits, packages, quantity of pictures, etc. Most studios offer a number of packages to work within your budget varying in number of hours, images, and a definite number of final pictures in an album. Better photographers charge the higher rates.  After you have finalized the photographer and videographer, discuss your event day schedule with them so that everything runs smoothly without confusions.  After the event is over, receive proofs from your photographer so that you can choose your favorite images to be developed and enlarged. You can also purchase the additional copies in the future as photographers keep the negatives for a specified number of years. Rafi Michael Offers Toronto Wedding Services .

Maybe you are one of these fitness nuts who do not get out of the gym. How many times do you go to the gym? I guess you are one of these avid people who go to the fitness gym at least five or six days a week. Or you are constantly trying to tune those abs and slim down those thighs and avoid having to get a tummy tuck. In fact, if you love to go to the gym, it is okay. I cant say the same for the fitness nuts, but anyway fitness will help you stay healthy and live well. These types of physical exercises are very very good for your cardiovascular system and therefore for your health and well-being. Actually, some people are not satisfied with the results they get from the fitness. I guess they need results that are more radical. So they start looking for something other than what fitness can provide for them. They think that a proper diet and a good fitness routine are not enough. So what should they do then? Fortunately, there are other choices these days. If you think you need a more radical change, you can have it! It is all about how far you are willing to go for your dream. Lets assume that you want a flat stomach badly. Then I will ask you a simple question. How badly do you want that flat stomach? If you think that you want flat stomach more than anything, I am sure you are willing to have plastic surgery. If you can afford plastic surgery, nowadays you can change your body completely in the way you want. Do you need a tummy tuck? Actually, do you know what a tummy tuck is? In fact, do you know anything about a tummy tuck? Are you familiar with the procedure and its possible consequences? Id better first ask you an easier question. Do you know anything about plastic surgery in general? Actually, plastic surgery is a very tempting part of the contemporary medicine for many people or at least it is a successful industry nowadays. So many people from all over the world, who are completely different in age, religion or nationality, are heading to the plastic surgery clinics seeking various types of plastic surgery. In fact, do you have something you want to change in your body? Personally, I am quite satisfied with what God has given me but most people are not. I must admit that after watching so many TV shows, which describe and show plastic surgery, I wont even think of having any change in my body ever. However, the truth is that many people cannot reach this satisfactory point. Such people have usually become deformed because of giving birth, an accident, or whatever. For example, a mother of four wants to tune abs but she cannot because she has stretched tissue. In such case, her only choice is tummy tuck. The tummy tuck is a surgery procedure when surgeons slice off unwanted tissue in order to make the tummy flatter. Now, you have to think twice and tell me whether you desire a tummy tuck or any other type of cosmetic surgery procedure. Do you still want to change something in your image? I must remind you that the tummy tuck is a painful procedure. However, if you think that no other procedure will give you the needed results than go for a tummy tuck.

We discussed examples of coupons and some of the aspects of these offers that can boost sales and generate urgency to a purchase.  Today well focus on how to create great landing pages and the use of affiliate programs to further enhance your marketing efforts. Creating good online coupons to offer customers is not the only thing you need to do to maximize your sales.  Using an enticing landing page that meets the customer with the deal theyre being offered is also an effective tool leading to a sale.  There are two ways that let the customer know the benefit of the coupon theyre using, and both can be equally appealing choices. Option 1 to creating an appealing landing page for a coupon is to restate the coupons terms and offers and to reiterate the promotion code that needs to be entered upon checkout.  This way the customer knows they are getting the deal they had anticipated receiving, and makes them aware of  potential expiration on getting the discount.  As we discussed in our previous article, that sense of urgency is a good way to provoke your shoppers into a buy mentality. Option 2 takes this a step further by automatically applying the coupon at checkout, so when the customer gets to the checkout page, their discount code is applied and actively showing them their deal.  This also benefits the customer because they dont need to go back to get the code, where they can be distracted from the point of purchase.  By adding something to the landing page like Your 10% coupon code will be automatically applied at checkout in a highly visible area, you are able to keep customers from being confused about what theyre getting.  You can also use cookies so the next time they visit, if they remember their coupon, they will be more likely to realize they can still get a great discount. Affiliate programs can also be beneficial when used with coupons to promote your products or sales.  New and expiring coupons are littered on coupon web sites throughout the internet bringing more attention to you!  Just check out this coupon code homepage for an example of who can be displaying your coupon.  In addition, many affiliates will be happy to promote your store when you have a great coupon code or promotion to offer.  These high traffic sites bring a ton of added exposure and drive a large customer base of shoppers ready to buy - you know this because they clicked on your coupon!  Another secret tip to getting affiliates to put your coupons on their homepage is to increase commissions temporarily upon proof of good placement.  Sometimes these affiliate sites can get many more buyers than your own! Coupons have migrated to the web in a big way, and should be a part of any serious marketing campaign.  If you arent using online coupon codes and one time deals to promote your site, youre missing the boat on driving incremental customers to buy your products.

There is a daily fee at sate parks, or a yearly pass can be purchased at any of the park offices. This is a prime location for bass anglers in the spring and summer, and receives fairly heavy fishing pressure, from weekend anglers and tournament fisherman. Although it has a lot of pressure, there are still quite a few big bass in Lums, along with a decent population of Hybrid Striped Bass. If you follow these steps, you can still connect with a real trophy in Lums Pond this spring. "Wood Cover" There is quite a lot of wood, laydowns, and cut off stumps in Lums. Most of the wood is located on the left and right hand sides of the main lake, right after the beach and docks, about 1000 yards up from the launching ramp. The first area to try is the laydowns on the right, as you head up past the beach. This area is overlooked by a lot of anglers, but is a good location for largemouth's in the two to four pound range. This same area also holds quite a few Striped Bass hybrids that run around six pounds on average, but some in the eight and nine pound class have been caught here. You can't go wrong by flipping a black/blue jig, with either a blue Uncle Josh Pork trailer, or a Sweet Beaver trailer. Both have worked real well flipped into the laydowns along both shores in this area. The North shore receives the most sunlight in the spring, and as a result, warms first. I like to use a seven foot, Falcon graphite rod, with a Shimano Chronarch, spooled with twenty to twenty-five pound test. Flip all the laydowns in this area, working each one of the branches moving from the outside in, right up to the shore. If this area doesn't produce right away, move across the lake to the other laydowns, and work them the same way. When you can't get a hit in this area on the jig, often, you can move off this area a little farther, and rework the same areas with a 3/8 ounce Terminator spinnerbait in Golden Shiner, with tandem blades. Make as much contact with the wood from as many different angles as possible. Keeping a buzzbait rigged for this area is a good idea, and many times, repeated casts to the same areas over and over, at different angles will provoke a reaction strike. "Points and Drop-offs" Although it is common knowledge that bass will stage on drop-offs and points this time of year, all drop-offs and points aren't alike. Look for drop-offs and points that are nearest to the main channel, preferably on the North shore, that contain some type of new vegetation growth under the surface. There are several areas that are eight and nine feet deep, but the average depth is four feet, with some of the shoreline much shallower. The water is very stained to muddy, so the bass will go very shallow to feed. Don't be afraid to cast right up against the shore in the very shallow water. At first glance, Lums doesn't seem to have a lot of grass, algae, or emergent weed growth, but there is a wide variety of aquatic vegetation under the surface that hold lots of baitfish, and bass! One of the best spots to connect with some big largemouth's and hybrids is the sand point and drop-off just across from the dog training area. Work this area well with a white/chartreuse spinnerbait and long shad colored minnow baits, such as a Husky Suspend Jerk, or a Rattlin' Rogue in blue/chrome,or a Lucky Craft "Pointer". Last year working this point, and the one directly to the north of the cove with a pier, we caught more than eight bass in the three to five pound class, with a couple of nice six pound Hybrids thrown in. "Buzz the Flats" Don't forget the buzzbait in the spring. When the water warms to sixty to sixty-five degrees, the buzzbait will draw tremendous topwater explosions on overcast days,and sometimes the whole day. Many times in April, we started with the buzzbait early in the morning, looking for active fish, and never switched baits all day. Some days of twenty to twenty-five fish, are not uncommon at all, with most in the three to four pound class. The best areas for the buzzbait in Lums are located on the flats that are adjacent to deep water. A good fish locator, such as a Lowrance, that is made for shallow water performance, is a great tool to have when you first start to explore Lums, as it is one of the larger Delaware Ponds. Head straight up the lake from the launching ramp until you get to the upper end of the lake. There will be a cove with a fishing pier all the way up on the right. Work this area with repetitious casts using a double-buzz, in black, and a clacker type buzzbait, such as a Terminator Ball Buster or Charon Klacker buzz, in 1/2 ounce, with a trailer hook. Many times here you will get a lot of short strikes due to the muddy water. A trailer hook will increase your hookups greatly. Stay well off shore here, and make as many as thirty casts, from different directions, before moving on. Make sure to hesitate just a second when the bass strike, and set the hook hard. I like to use a 7 foot Lews Crankin stick, or a G.Loomis Crankin stick with seventeen to twenty pound test for this type of fishing. "Cover Water" When all of the above methods fail, start covering water. Sometimes the bass are still a little off shore in the early spring, and covering water quickly, until you get a strike, is a good idea. The best lures for this are 1/2 ounce chrome/blue Rattlin' Rapalas. Position the boat a little off shore, and cast out to the drop-offs and weedlines, retrieving it back with a pumping motion, raising your rod from a 9 to 12 o'clock position. Make sure the hooks are really sharp. When you locate the fish, work the area slowly with the lipless crankbaits, spider grubs, and a 4" Senko." Follow these tips for Lums Pond this year in the spring, and you will get a quick start to a "trophy year." Later in the afternoon, the area directly across the lake from here contains a lot of overhanging trees, and a lot of stumps. These stumps can't be seen until it's too late. So make sure you have a breakaway mount on your electric motor, and keep the outboard up out of the water. There is a no-wake policy on Delaware ponds, but you can use the outboards. The bass in these heavily pressured areas become conditioned to sounds more easily, as they can't rely so much on sight, due to the muddy water. So keep the trolling motor on low, and try to avoid any banging around in the boat. I have caught bass with the trolling motor on, but most of the bass above five pounds were caught with the trolling motor off. Keep these things in mind this year at Lums, and you will connect with the bass you are looking for. Most people get on the water too late. Start in mid to late March, or as soon as the water temperature gets to around forty-eight to fifty degrees. All the baits discussed in this article are available at www.delawaretackle.com.

This is a very special occasion, so much so that many parents choose to throw a small gathering or party to mark the occasion.  These two games are appropriate Holy Communion Party Games geared towards using up all that excess energy kids usually have. Tipping the Orange This is a fun racing game to get everyone involved at the party.  Get lots of oranges and large sized spoons for this Holy Communion party game.  For each round have two guests pair up to face off against each other.  Youll need some room outside for the two opponents to move around in.  Each contestant gets one orange and one spoon.  Be sure to set down the ground rules before you get started.  Such as no tripping, pushing or shoving.  Each opponent must try to knock the orange off the spoon the other opponent has it balanced on.  This can be by tapping the underside of their opponents spoon or trying to push the orange off their opponents spoon, but no shoving.  Keep that in mind and everyone will have a fun and energetic time at your Holy Communion party games. Name Echo:  At your Holy Communion party games, you can use Name Echo to help the guests, both adults and kids, get to know each other.  To start the activities have everyone get into a circle.  Then begin this Holy Communion game by having the communion boy or girl call out their name and then starting a wave motion by raising their arms in the air.  Everyone repeats this joyful motion starting with the person to the left of the communion boy or girl and going all the way around the circle, just like an ocean wave. While these games are just simple activities that get everyone moving around, youll be surprised at how much fun the guests have while playing your selected Holy Communion party games.  Theyll especially love getting out and about if you have a nice warm day for the festivities. Mrs. Party...

Today, we do have a lot of music around us, but we forget to recognize its importance. One way to recognize the importance of music is to add some of your favorite songs to your cell phone in the form of ringtones. Ringtones are an important and indispensable feature of the cell phone without which we would not be able to know of an incoming call. Moreover, today we have the concept of free ringtones that has given many people, both young and old, the opportunity to hear and download the type of ringtone they like. To get free ringtones, you can easily contact a ringtone service provider or you can get one by downloading it from the Internet. But have you ever wondered how a ringtone is created? Creating a ringtone is very easy. It does not require the individual to have any kind of special expertise. All it takes is a passion for music, which many people have within them to some extent. Many of the free ringtones are created by a group of individuals who are hired to do so by a cell phone service company. These free ringtones are created keeping different themes in mind. There are themes that are related to different aspects. These may include country ringtones, rap ringtones, English ringtones, gospel ringtones, Christian ringtones, and many more. You can also create free ringtones that have not been composed yet. These could be recorded sounds of birds chirping, baby chuckles, of the gushing waters of the seas or the cool bliss of the breeze. These ringtones could then be offered, free of cost, to the subscribers of the service. Moreover, if you are a good music student and know the art of playing any instrument, you can create your own song as a ringtone and keep it for yourself. Thus, we can say that if you go ahead and create a free ringtone, as it is fun to do and it reflects your personality to a great extent.

Each cycle is divided into 12 phases of which one phase is 10,800 years. In a cycle, the first six phases belong to "Yang" meaning creation and cultivation. The last six phases belong to "Yin" meaning harvesting and suspension. All matters and beings also follow the order but on a smaller scale, the four seasons which repeat itself; growth is in spring, flourishing in summer, harvesting in autumn and suspension in winter. A human being goes through four stages; infancy, adolescence, adulthood and old age. It can also be called the progression and regression cycle of life. In the growth phases, God called on seven Buddhas to govern the world so the growth would be orderly. In the regression phases, God called on three Buddhas to amass the souls so that the returning of souls and the essence of everything are orderly. In the last 5,000 years, it has three periods called the Green, Red and White Periods and three Buddhas. The Green Period was ruled by Ran-deng Buddha which began around 3043BC for 1816 years. At that time there were nine worldwide catastrophes and they were all floods called the "Long-han Flood". The Red Period was ruled by Sakyamuni Buddha which began around the time of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty year 1227BC for 3140 years. At that time there were eighteen fire catastrophes in the form of wars and battles called the "Zhi-ming Fire". The third Period is called the "White Period" and is ruled by Mi-Le Buddha about a hundred years ago which occurs at the transition from the Red Period to the White Period and will last for 10,800 years. According to the collective sins and debts human beings carry, God descends eighty-one catastrophes. The eighty-first catastrophe is the catastrophe of "Gang-feng" (a wind-like catastrophe). This Killer Wind Catastrophe is just like explosions of nuclear bombs; after a big bang, everything within its range will be anihilated. It is the last catastrophe of the Third Period and never seen before by man. Why is the last catastrophe so destructive? The technology and civilization of mankind have reached the peak. People have disregarded the Truth and moralities. The human mind is so deteriorated that most people are driven by desires. Debts and sins mankind collected have never been so much before, therefore the magnitudes of catastrophes and destructions will be much greater than before. The last catastrophe will lead to the total destruction of the human civilization and technology. It is also the time for all righteous souls to go back to God's Kingdom. It is described as the "Final Judgement" in the Bible according to Tao of Heaven. White Sun signifies the beginning of the end of the age, meaning the beginning of the end of one cycle of Heaven and Earth and it will appear before year 2000 according to Tao of Heaven. The author saw it twice, in 1994 and 1997 and each time it was like a huge giant white balloon in the early morning sky without glaring for a few seconds. At this time Mi-Le Buddha (Maitreya Buddha) is given the mission of ruling Heaven and Earth and to save the righteous souls back to Heaven. Together with him, JiGong Buddha, Yue-Hui Buddha, Goddess of Mercy and many other Buddhas, Saints, Bodhisattvas are ordered to help in attaining the mission of Mi-Le Buddha in the salvation of mankind. In addition, all deities are also ordered to descend to the world to help this Holy Mission. They will teach people to repent and reform themselves so that people will do good deeds and the magnitudes of the catastrophes will be reduced. T.A Chew was intiated with Tao on the Chinese Calendar 15th, 3rd month year 1995. He was then taught that Heaven needs human to spread the Holy Mission of Maitreya Buddha because Heaven speaks not. Human has to represent Heaven and those who can write, may do so by writing, hence he started to write.

I know that I sure would. This all mighty rank would almost surely guarantee that you could achieve high rankings for keywords that you targeted. Additionally, the highly sought after page rank would have potential advertisers flocking to your site wanting to get a link to their site so that they could get their share of the page rank. Well, you may just have that opportunity present itself to you. There is an experiment going on right now to bring a particular website to a page rank of 10 in 730 days. This is starting from a page rank of 0. As I write this, there are 472 days left and this site has reached a page rank of 4 so far. They are predicting a page rank of 6 on the next Google update. The kicker is this. If the site does reach the page rank of 10, the site that has referred the most traffic to it will win the page rank 10 site for free. Not only that, but the top 10 referring sites are currently listed on the front page of the experimental site. This can send a good share of page rank back to your site if you are one of the top referrers. Will this site ever achieve the coveted PR10 status? I dont know the answer, but I have a feeling that the people at Google will certainly have a say in this. Is achieving a PR10 purely based on the Google algorithm? Or is there more to it than that?

It is most unfortunate that many essential oils available on the market today are of poor quality and, therefore, cannot help alleviate health problems. Essential oil traders supply mostly to the perfume and food industries who are more concerned with the fragrance or flavour of an oil rather than its therapeutic effects. These industries must always have essential oils with the same chemical formulae if they are to produce the same aroma and taste consistently, so they find it necessary to 'adulterate' oils to replicate aromas and flavours. Price is also a major consideration. Factors such as the weather, bad harvests, the variety of the plant, the composition of the soil, the time and the method of cultivation and extraction can affect the composition of essential oils greatly and this creates difficulties for the perfume and the food industries who seek standardisation. Suppliers of essential oils will often adulterate their oils by adding synthetic ingredients, alcohols, vegetable oil, cheap chemical constituents or low-cost essential oils. They may even substitute an entire essential oil with a cheaper, similar oil for commercial gain (e.g. lavendin may be sold as lavender). Essential oils used in aromatherapy must, of course, be as pure, natural and 'whole' as possible if they are to have the desired therapeutic effects. Synthetic materials which simulate the aroma and appearance of an essential oil cannot have the same therapeutic properties as an essential oil and should not be used in therapy. Synthetic chemicals also carry the risk of harmful and unpleasant side effects, as do synthetic drugs. It is totally impossible to duplicate an essential oil in its entirety in the laboratory. Vital constituents and trace elements will inevitably be missing. It is the total of the components of an essential oil working together which produces a healing effect. If oils are referred to as 'nature identical' this implies that the oil is synthetic and produced in the laboratory and is, therefore, unsuitable for aromatherapy. Synthetic oils also do not possess the 'vital force' or 'life force' of essential oils which comes from living plants. Chemicals also do not contain the 'vibration' of natural living plants. Since most aromatherapy suppliers buy essential oils from importers who supply the perfume and food industries it is important to seek a supplier who deals mainly with essential oils intended only for therapeutic use.

Business two way radios typically cost a lot more than consumer versions and business owners may well ask the question do I need to spend all that extra money? The answer is most likely yes as Two Way Radios are a vital investment for a business and commercial two way radios are designed with the needs of a business user in mind. Determining whether a walkie talkie is a commercial or a consumer unit is as simple as looking at the channels it uses. If it uses either the FRS or GMRS designated channels then it is a consumer unit. Why might these channels not be suitable for business use? Firstly, the FCC places certain restrictions on these channels that might be limiting to business. FRS channels can only transmit at a maximum of 0.5 Watts, thats enough power to reliably get about 0.25 miles in a real world scenario. The GMRS channels can use more power but for a business to legally use GMRS channels businesses must buy a licence for each unit that costs about $80. Lastly, the consumer channels are far more crowded than the channels that the FCC designates for commercial use. In addition to clearer channels business walkie talkies carry several advantages important to a business user. They are designed to withstand far more use and abuse than a consumer unit. Manufacturers understand that these will be used daily, tossed around and that businesses need to rely on their investment to keep working. Walkie talkies were originally developed for the battlefield and many models available today are built to military specifications. Business radios also maximize productivity with much longer battery lives than consumer units. Some units can go for 13 hours or more on a single charge. You will need to purchase a license from the FCC to use your two way radios legally. It is a farely low fee of about $100 and when amortized over several units that most businesses need, it's a minimal expense. Business radios can come in VHF frequencies that is good for outdoor uses and UHF frequencies that performs much better inside steel and concrete structures. Be sure to choose the right frequency range for your application. Many business radios are programmable. Ie they don't come with existing channels, they need to be programmed at the time of purchase. This is very important as you replace units and you want to program in your licensed frequency. Cloning models can quickly and simply replicate the settings of an existing radio. Accessories for consumer radios are typically limited. Things like multi-unit chargers are especially useful for businesses and only available for commercial products. There are also headsets, ear pieces, etc available so look at this carefully if it is a factor. If you are going to be using the radio frequently, for extended periods of time or in very rugged conditions you absolutely should get a commercial unit. The extra initial expense will pay for itself very quickly. If you need little range and your useage is infrequent then one of the many good quality consumer radios will probably be more than sufficient.

When you browse through the handsets and service plans in an online mobile phone shop, you may be bombarded with lots of deals and offers, the varied range of choices ranging from fancy phones with in-built MP3 players, with large pixel cameras, etc. If you are clear about your needs like what type of a handset you need, what are the features you need in it, what type of service plan you need, etc., then you can get the right mobile phone deal. But for that you need to research a lot. You need to do comparisons between the offers and deals offered by all the service providers so that you can determine which one would benefit you. Many mobile phone companies require that you purchase a handset from them when you sign up. Some even offer great discounts or free handsets when you do so. In some cases, you can buy the phone from a third party and sign up for service with the service provider of your choice. Online mobile dealers are the most convenient source of shopping as you can save more from them and get low priced plans. Before going for a service plan, also take your friends feedback as they would have already used the service and they can provide you information about the quality of service and other important consumer information. Compare various cheap mobile phone deals available to get the most out of your money. Choose a handset that has the features you need like if you want a mobile phone only for making and receiving calls, then dont pay extra for a phone that has a camera and MP3 player. So if you are looking forward to save money while shopping for your mobile phone then follow these simple tips and enjoy the convenience of owing a mobile phone.   3mobileshop Caitlin Lucy is the webmaster of http://www.3mobileshop.co.uk and specializing in the different genres of mobile phones, polyphonic ringtones, mobile phone games and mobile phone wallpapers and etc. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Caitlin_Lucy http://EzineArticles.com/?Save-Money-By-Getting-The-Right-Mobile-Phone-Deal&amp;id=272347 &lt;a href="http://www.globalenglishcamp.org/user/view.php?id=1570&amp;course=1"&gt;to buy phentermine 37.5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://ziv.jerusalem.k12.il/courses/user/view.php?id=1061&amp;course=1"&gt;phentermine canada pharmacy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.campascca.org/elearn/user/view.php?id=87&amp;course=1"&gt;no prescription needed for phentermine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ssat-cpd.net/moodle/user/view.php?id=127&amp;course=1"&gt;phentermine with online doctor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3755706736325329450-6463085102623378372?l=baylessshoeb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3755706736325329450/posts/default/6463085102623378372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3755706736325329450/posts/default/6463085102623378372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://baylessshoeb.blogspot.com/2008/04/save-money-by-getting-right-mobile.html' title='Save Money By Getting The Right Mobile Phone Deal'/><author><name>baylessshoeb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11473011047376834255</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755706736325329450.post-2028414596638013916</id><published>2008-04-11T13:59:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-11T13:59:19.486-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Relationship Over? 7 Steps to Survive a Break-Up or Divorce</title><content type='html'>By Susan Russo Are you struggling with letting go of a past love? &lt;br /&gt;We all know how painful it can be when walking away from a relationship. &lt;br /&gt;You may be dealing with feelings that can be overwhelming and at times you need a bit&lt;br /&gt;of guidance to help keep you on track. &lt;br /&gt;As difficult as it may be right now, keep in mind that your feelings are normal&lt;br /&gt;and simply part of a process that you will get beyond.&lt;br /&gt;Follow these 7 steps in healing a broken heart and you will begin &lt;br /&gt;the process of letting go and moving on. 1. ACCEPTANCE: Until you face reality, you won't begin to let go. Accepting that your relationship is over is the first step in putting the past behind you. 2. MAKE A CLEAN BREAK: None of this on-again-off-again stuff. You will only prolong the inevitable. 3. IT'S OKAY TO GRIEVE: Don't feel bad for feeling bad. You are going through a very normal process that you will get beyond. Just give yourself some time. 4. FOCUS ON YOURSELF: Indulge yourself. Pamper yourself. Do the things that&lt;br /&gt;make you feel good again. You are going through a tough time right now, so be good to yourself. Loving yourself is the best gift you can give yourself. 5. IMPROVE YOURSELF: This is an opportunity to begin a journey into self-discovery. Getting your self-esteem back on track is key to your recovery. Discover what you want from life and go after it. 6. LEARN TO FORGIVE: Forgiving frees you from the chains of the past and allows you to let go of anger and resentment. If you choose not to forgive the only person you hurt is yourself. 7. MOVE ON: The end is just the beginning! Learn from your mistakes and pick up the pieces so you can move on and go after the kind of life and relationship you deserve. The sooner you take action and do what is good for you, the sooner you will &lt;br /&gt;be moving toward the kind of life and relationship you really want.&lt;br /&gt;Find the courage to pull yourself out of this funk. Take charge of your life and you&lt;br /&gt;will find that there actually is life after What's-His-Name! You just have to make&lt;br /&gt;the decision so you can move on. Take little steps each day and you will be amazed that you are starting&lt;br /&gt;to feel better. Lean on your friends and remember, time really does heal all wounds.

Here are four of my favourites. Cornus alternifolia Argenta Cornus alternifolia Argenta is commonly known as the Variegated pagoda dogwood. Originating in Asia, its common name relates to its shape which resembles a sacred tower in China. This large deciduous shrub or small tree can have ultimate height of 3 metres (9ft); with a spread of approx 2 metres (6ft). Within the next week its layers of slim branches are dotted with clusters of star shaped yellowish-white flowers, followed by blue-black fruits. A special mention for the bright green leaves edged yellow which turn reddish-purple in autumn. You can use the Variegated pagoda dogwood as a large specimen shrub or as a small tree simply by removing any lower branches as they appear, this will create a clear stem and a showy canopy. To ensure quickest growth you must position this plant in full sun. I would highly recommend this dogwood if you have limited space and require a tree that will not over-power you garden. Many garden centres may not have it in stock but it is only a phone-call to their suppliers away, and well worth waiting for. Kolkwitzia amablis Pink Cloud Kolkwitzia amablis Pink Cloud is commonly known as the Beauty bush. This fast growing deciduous shrub is a native of China and grows to an ultimate height of 3 metres (9ft); with a spread of approx 2.5 metres (7 to 8 ft). Because of this size and its slightly old fashioned mounded look it is not a shrub I see planted in many new gardens. This is unfortunate as the Beauty bush lives up to its name whilst in flower. For at least the 3 weeks you can expect to see showy masses of bell shaped pink flowers with a yellow throat. These flowers are held amongst its small oval grey-green leaves on slightly arching branches. Kolkwitzia amablis Pink Cloud requires a position that receives upwards of 4 hours sunlight a day in a soil that is limey or alkaline. If you are looking for a specimen shrub or a larger shrub for the rear of a bed then do not over-look this old time stalwart. Ribes sanguineum Ribes sanguineum commonly known as the Flowering Currant. This large deciduous shrub can have ultimate height of 3 metres (9ft); with a spread of approx 3 metres (9ft). A native to the United States, it is frost hardy and right now is laden down with pendulous reddish pink flowers. These flowers which resemble miniature bunches of grapes are held amongst light green leaves from mid to late spring. Both the flowers and leaves are scented, the leaves especially so when bruised or crushed. The Flowering Currant is mostly used in the mixed border as a showy specimen plant although I have also used it in whip planting schemes to good effect. If you would like to cut some flowering stems to bring indoors, they will last approx 6 to 10 days. To ensure quick growth plant in a position with full to partial sun and an adequate supply of water. I would highly recommend this shrub if you have a problem growing plants due to air pollution as it is very resistant to exhaust fumes etc. Two varieties to look out for are Pulborough Scarlet and King Edward VII Alyssum saxitile The clump forming perennial Alyssum saxitile is commonly known as the Basket of gold. This native of Europe is evergreen and grows no higher than 20 cm (8 inches); it has a spread of approx 30cm (1ft). Because of its size and its ability to tolerate drought it is ideal for planting in cracks in your paving, crevices in your walls and of course in the rockery. For at least the next 4 weeks you can expect to see clusters of tiny vibrant yellow flowers above its grey-green leaves. Alyssum saxitile requires a position which drains freely and receives upwards of 4 hours sunlight a day. If you would like to attract some butterflies to your garden then plant clusters of Alyssum throughout, sit back and watch as the yellow flowers draw them in.

Its something you do every day in your working routine; so why is it that as soon as you need to use it for career change or job-search it becomes too difficult? Your reluctance to use the phone in your career change or job-search probably stems from anxieties about what might happen.   A certain amount of nervousness is quite natural when you call an employer or a network contact and even more so if its done on a speculative basis. But dont let that stop you. Lets examine your reluctance to use the telephone  I want to telephone this employer as Im pretty sure theyll have an opening for me They probably wont want to speak to me, or theyll be too busy Im worried about what to say I might make a mess of it ... they could say no ... Ill end up feeling stupid ... and rejected That makes me feel even worse and I dont want to make the call now, think Ill leave it for the moment Ill write a letter instead Of course letters are much safer because they make rejection feel much less personal. They didnt reject me, they rejected my letter is how you can justify that one.  But, for exactly the same reasons, it is much harder for an employer to say no to you on the telephone than it is to throw your letter into the bin.  Most people are too polite to be rude to you on the phone and with a deep breath and some practice you can make it work really well for you. So lets take another look at that: 1. You want to phone an employer about possible jobs. 2. You need to find the right person to speak to. 3. The secretary might ask too many questions. 4. You worry that it might be unpleasant, or that something bad will happen. 5. It will be so AWFUL that you worry about it even more. 6. Youre so worried and anxious about what might happen that you decide to avoid it altogether. Where did that get you? Nowhere! Result? Youre missing out on one of the best ways of finding jobs. Lets now try and think about this a little more rationally -&lt;br /&gt;OK when you first make a call to an employer it wont always be successful, but try to remain in a positive frame of mind.  What does a salesman do when someone says no? He simply moves on to the next one - this is what you must do. You might perhaps get tongue-tied the first few times, or the employer might not be available when you call. But that isnt a disaster. Dont be a catastrophist it isnt the end of the world. The worst that can happen is that you wont get an interview this time - but you can always try again.  You cant predict what will happen so dont try - you could just as easily worry about falling under a bus but worrying about it wont prevent it happening. Telephone phobia is very common even amongst the most experienced and outgoing people.  What you need to ensure is that your anxiety and imagination does not get the better of you. If you let it get the better of you, you stand to miss out on all sorts of opportunities by putting off making the call. Admittedly, if you feel really down it may be better left a while until your spirits have picked up, because the telephone has a knack of amplifying the mood youre in. What should you do when youve made a good phone call?  make another one while your confidence is high.

They have guided clients to numerous trophy smallmouth here in the northeast, and have entered enough trophy fish to be inducted into the N.A.F.C. Hall Of Fame in 2003. In this article, Steve and Kurt of Reeltime Anglers Guide Service, will share some of their best tips to help you understand and catch more and bigger smallmouth bass here in the northeast. Time and time again over the years, we have listened to many anglers and clients express their frustration at trying to catch small mouth bass. Most anglers don't realize that these fish have their own set of rules that are different than a largemouth, and that is what sets them apart.The biggest differences between a smallmouth and a largemouth bass are as follows: If you fish for smallmouth here in the northeast, especially in the Susquehanna river in Maryland, you will find that smallmouth bass do not stick that tight to cover. This is even more apparent in some of our slack water reservoirs. Smallmouth relate much more to a sudden or rapid depth change than they do cover. When we fish for largemouths, we are all taught to fish brushpiles and thick weedbeds, but small mouth bass are more likely to be caught on a rock ledge that drops off quickly from about six to twelve feet. This totally different than on the faster moving waters on the Susquehanna or other smallmouth rivers down the east coast. Heading to the river: When fishing in the reservoirs here such as Conowingo, or in the rivers like the Susquehanna, small mouths are sometimes caught shallow, but they are seldom more than 10-20 yards away from deep water.&lt;br /&gt;Everywhere we go, we see the majority of bass anglers beating the shoreline, and as this may work for largemouth bass most of the time, if you are after big small mouth bass, turn around and cast to the open water rather than beat the shore. Unlike largemouth, smallmouth often group together by size. We found that if we were catching smaller fish, in the eleven to fourteen inch range, we rarely caught a big one in the same area. On the other hand, when we caught a small mouth that was above four or five pounds, many times there were several that size and even larger swimming right along with them. Big largemouth bass are loners, usually found by themselves on the best piece of structure, while larger smallmouth bass will often school together. There are several things that tell you that smallmouth bass are much better suited for strong current than largemouth. For one, their pointed noses and the sharp angle of their fins are indicators that they are more suited to current. They often get behind a rock or stump and rush out to feed.  Largemouth can adapt somewhat to current, but are much more at home in slack water. SPRINGTIME: When the water temperatures start to reach about 45 degrees, here in the northeast that happens around mid to late March, we start looking for big smallmouth bass. Water temperature is critical this time of year, as just an increase of a few degrees can really turn smallmouth on. &lt;br /&gt;In the spring, in Maryland, and especially in New York, our two best baits for small mouth are the hair jig, usually in black or brown, and a Yamamoto grub, in smoke or chartreuse. We fish these baits in about six to twelve feet of water where there are clay or gravel flats. When smallmouth start moving up out of deeper water they are spooky, so stealth is very important. Don't drop anything on the bottom of the boat, and keep the trolling motor on as low as possible. The best method is to cast shallow and retrieve the lure slowly back towards the deeper water. Slowly is the key word here. In cold water, a slow, steady retrieve is deadly for big smallmouth. When the water starts to get above 50 degrees, the smallmouth will start to move around the flats more. Some of the best spots for smallmouth don't really look very good to the average angler that is used to fishing for largemouth. The better areas are just some pea gravel or some clay with maybe a stump or two, but fish these areas slowly now, and you will connect with a big smallmouth. Swimming a Yamamoto grub in these type of areas is absolutely deadly at these water temperatures. Keep working these areas slowly and don't move too quickly, and you will hook one of the better smallmouth in the area. Many times here in the northeast, we get a lot of heavy rains, which really muddies up the water such as the Susquehanna River and flats. This can really ruin a lot of the small mouth fishing, but finding clearer water can produce good fish even under these adverse conditions, as we proved earlier this year out on the flats. By searching out some clear water in the same type of areas, we connected with several big fish while we were hearing nothing but complaints from other anglers. In lakes or reservoirs, as well as the rivers, if you move to the back of creek arms and crank the advancing mudline, you can still connect with good fish. Another thing that works well in these situations is slow rolling a spinnerbait, such as a Terminator T-1, in 3/8 ounce or smaller, along the banks that are windblown that contain some chunk rock. This has always worked well in various parts of the country for many years. SPAWN: Smallmouth will spawn when the water is about sixty to sixty-five degrees, and they like to do it on gravel flats, clay points, humps, and protected bays. They spawn anywhere from about two to six feet deep here, but most of the time they are too deep to see on their beds in most rivers in the northeast, but in New Englad and some New Jersey and maryland Lakes, you can see them many times. When fishing for argemouth on beds, such as in Delaware and Maryland, the largemouth have to be finessed into striking many times. I watch some good anglers take at least 30 minutes to catch one fish on a bed, but think about this? One 3-4 pound Smallmouth every hour in the tournament?? 8 Nice Smallmouth and a few largemouth to choose from to make that 17-21 pound bag, which is not uncommen anymore on the Upper Chesapeake Bay tournaments and especialy the Finger Lakes of New York. It is really very simple to catch large bedding smallmouth by swimming a smoke or chartreuse colored Yamamoto grub or even a small "Senko" across their beds, and many times a Lucky Craft CBBDS crankbait in chartreuse/black. We always practice catch and release, and if you want to continue to enjoy this type of fishing, releasing them right away after they are caught is crucial. POST-SPAWN: When the water temperatures reach sixty-eight to seventy-two degrees, you can really catch quite a few good sized smallmouth in the daytime even in bright sun. The small mouth move into two different patterns at this time and really smash top water baits such as Zara Spooks.  They will either hold near the bedding areas or on the outer edges of flooded bushes, and nail Spinnerbaits and floating worms, or they suspend between two points on main lake flats. Either way, these lures and methods will provide some great daytime action. SUMMER: Here in the northeast, the smallmouth action really slows down during the hot summer months. When we aren't with a client here, or fishing a tournament trail that demands all of our attention, we usually head south towards lakes like Pickwick in Alabama. We have had great success here throughout the years in the summer months. There is a lot of current at Pickwick, and it keeps the water much cooler, and very well oxygenated, and this is key in catching big smallmouth. The best places here are on the channel drops and offshore rock piles. If you don't know this area, it is best to hire a guide unless you are planning on spending more than a few weeks there and enjoy the challenge of trying to locate these areas yourself.  It is usually very hot and humid this time of year, and we would rather fish for them at night as we do the largemouth here this time of year.  Smallmouth move onto humps and roadbeds looking for crawfish and a Yamamoto spider grub on a jighead is our best lure at this time. Another good bait is the Terminator night bait, a single Colorado blade in black, and it works well in many areas at this time of year at night. At night, we do catch some smallies shallow at times, but you are still better concentrating your efforts in about six to fifteen feet of water. FALL: By October, the lakes and rivers around here are about sixty-eight to seventy degrees, and the fish are suspending in the deeper water a little more. After there are a few nights where the temperatures start to really drop the water temperatures, the smallmouth start to become far more catchable. Long points that run out into the river channel are perfect spots to use a crankbait to catch these smallies-especially on the windy days. We also take good size smallmouth on blade baits and spinnerbaits that are suspended on rock banks. WINTER: When the water temperatures are about 50-54 degrees here, usually about mid November, the smallmouth we have caught were always on a point with a fast taper into deeper water. If the smallmouth are in water deeper than fifteen feet, we throw a blade bait or tailspinner, if they are shallower than that, we throw the Yamamoto grub again. We always load these baits with a new product called Megastrike, which is a revolutionary new advance in scent technology. When the water starts to drop below fifty degrees again, the smallmouth become a little more lethargic and start suspending off points and sloping banks. We use a "Hammerhead hair jig" then, or a drop-shot rig with a grub for these fish. Sometimes when these tactics fail, (and they do when the water temperatures drop below forty degrees), we then reverse our tactics and try larger baits such as a big jointed Rapala or similar type bait. We have even caught them trolling these bigger baits this time of year. Although the action is slow, many times the fish are giant! AND NOW,? THE HARD PART!: Locating and then catching big smallmouth is pretty hard in the Susquehanna. That is why it is so much fun. Hopefully by reading some of these methods you have gained a better understanding of where these trophy fish go and somewhat of the forage they are looking for, and of course, this will hopefully get you the fish of a lifetime. Remember, get out early and late in the year and brave the elements, hit these prime areas with the baits we described, and remember most of all, you are after a completely different fish, so you have to think in different terms to be successful.

I used to participate in quite a few surveys for a marketing company that was near my office. Unfortunately, I moved and its no longer convenient for me. But if you can find a reputable marketing firm near you, you can take advantage of some great offers. How do marketing research surveys work? Theyre actually pretty simple. When you participate in a survey, youll be asked to fill out an application that contains some basic information about yourself.  Youll then be put in a group with other participants and given a product to try out. It could be a new board game, a kitchen gadget, a toy, or even food.  One of my favorite marketing research surveys was for a pizza chain that was tinkering with its recipe. We stuffed our faces with every type of pizza you can imagine. Once youve had ample time to properly test out the product, youre given a short questionnaire to fill out.  It just asks basic questions about what you liked and disliked about the product and how likely you would be to pay for it in the future. That is usually followed up by a short group session where all the participants can discuss their opinions together while a moderator asks follow-up questions. Once the group session is complete, they pay you and send you on your way.  You wont be paid a fortune, but most companies at least give you enough for a tank of gas.

With brides such as Cinderella and Snow White as role models, it is of no surprise that expectations are at their highest. Therefore, brides expect to look and feel their best. It is what a bride deserves. That is where a makeup artist can enter with the wand and add to the dazzle and elegance of the wedding day. Bridal hair and makeup should be simple, yet elegant. It is important t remember that the hair and makeup should not compete with the brides dress; rather the hair and makeup should complement the dress. Equally important, is knowing the expectations of the bride. The makeup artist should note that the bride will want to feel comfortable, not confined by her bridal hair and makeup. Being comfortable may also mean keeping the makeup simple, not vibrant. This may not be the day to experiment with a new style. The bride does not want to feel self-conscious of her new look. She will want everyone to notice her beauty today and for years that follow in photographs. Todays bridal makeup and hair is soft and subtle. The effect is sexier, less harsh.  Hair can be worn down, flowing with loose curls and waves. The updo that once dominated the bridal hair scene has a much softer look as well. Todays updo style is not sprayed, pinned, and tucked to hide every loose hair. The look is pinned and tousled, leaving it soft and stylish. The bridal hair is romantic. Bridal makeup trends are soft and romantic to complement the hair and latest trends in bridal gowns and bridal hair. No longer do the lips have to be lined heavily and matte foundation with loose powder applied. While this is traditional, todays bridal makeup is more radiant and natural. Todays brides want to glow with elegance. There are some bridal hair and makeup rules and tips that the makeup artist can follow to ensure the wedding day will be a beautiful success. Rules for Makeup and Hair 1. Have a portfolio or picture selection available for brides-to-be to view along with the bridal makeup used. Often, it is difficult for a bride to express into words the look she is going for. Photographs can help you communicate. 2. Set up consultation. This should be done a few weeks ahead of time. During the consultation, note the time of day the wedding will take place, flowers, dress style and color, hair color, bridal hair style, eye color, time of year, and personality.  If possible, communicate with the stylist to discuss the hair style. 3. It may also be a good idea to ask to see some of the makeup products that the bride is already using. This will give you a good insight as to what the bride is accustomed to wearing. 4. Discuss different bridal hair and makeup trends. Allow the bride to get a visual by seeing the photos. Then follow by setting up a second appointment. 5. It is at the second meeting that you can unveil your plans for makeup. Demonstrate your selection for the bride-to-be. Demonstrate more than one bridal makeup style and photograph the results. Samples of bridal color schemes: Select a simple bridal makeup color scheme. The eyes, cheeks, and lips will all be in the same family; cool or warm. If the bride is wearing white and has dark hair, introduce colors in the pink/rose family. Keep the plan simple. Mauve/rose shadow, rose blush, rose lips. Select a different scheme that complements the flower choice. If the bride is carrying a peach colored bouquet, try using copper or bronze shadow. Use a combination of pink and peach on the cheeks and a lipstick in a peach tone. &lt;br /&gt;Bridal eye makeup should be soft. Choose a brown or chestnut eye liner. The line should be subtle and blended well.&lt;br /&gt;Follow using water proof mascara, keeping in mind tears and smearing. When choosing bridal foundation makeup, think of longevity and photography. The makeup will need to last, even under the photographers lights, without being too heavy. Todays market has several photo finish foundations. Try a light bronzing powder to add warmth and softness. Another trend in formal weddings is strong, yet sultry bridal makeup. A formal wedding can be complemented using a matte foundation, black liner for the eyes done in a subtle way, pink rouge, and matte red lipstick. Liner must be used to contain the red lipstick and prevent it from bleeding. This is a dramatic, evening bridal look that is perfect for such a formal affair. Todays bride wants to show her beauty in a natural, sensual way. The makeup artist can provide the bride with confidence and easy elegance that will be reminisced often.

Burns Alright. The mowing season will soon be upon us, and I know that you can't wait to break the old mower out, gas it up, check the oil,  and get started. Before you do, let me ask you a question. Thinking of bagging those lawn clippings? Don't do it! Just back away from the bagger for a second and lend me your ears (ok, your eyes). The very best way to use those lawn clippings, is by letting nature do the work for you. Consider this: Every year your lawn creates about a hundred pounds of nitrogen per acre. That is over two pounds of nitrogen per one thousand square feet, which is roughly equivalent to two fertilizer applications per year. It is estimated by many experts, that up to 60 percent of the fertilizer applied to your lawn is removed by removing the clippings. When you bag, you are removing a significant amount of organic matter from your lawn, and organic matter is something all lawns need to remain healthy and strong, but aside from these factors there is the other kind of green to think of, those green clippings that you are sending to the landfill, could be green backs in your wallet! It may not seem like much, but, the money saved over time, can be substantial if you have a large lawn. Now, there is work involved. If you wait too long between cuttings, the grass could grow so much that the cuttings do not break down quickly, but I know, if you are reading this, that you are interested in creating a healthy lawn, and would never allow that to happen. Mowing frequency is a big part of good lawn care, and on most of our grasses, the more frequently you mow, the better the quality of your lawn. This helps in a couple of ways: It makes the clippings easier for nature to break down into nitrogen. It causes the grass to grow laterally, thus getting thicker, and filling in the empty spaces, or as we say, it "tightens the turf". This makes your lawn more wear tolerant. In the turf industry we call these practices, cultural practices, and good cultural practices lead to good healthy lawns.&lt;br /&gt;I hope you will give this consideration when the time to begin mowing arrives. It is the most ecological, economical and aesthetic way to a better lawn!

From birth to death we all have different needs and requirements. To know some basic facts and some real life experience is important to make the best out of life and to avoid misery with personal loans and other kinds of loan-taking. The personal loan The personal loan is a loan for yourself or your family. In this way it differs from a loan for a business or the loans related to long term mortgage for buying houses and other real estate. The danger of a personal loan is that what you get from it often disappears during a few years. You might ask for a personal loan to finance a vacation, some household goods or for the purpose of dept consolidation. Compared to a business-type loan the personal loan is often a short-term investment - the business-type loan is a more long-term investment, but of course the business can go wrong. Even more long-term is the financing of real estate as an investment and the value of real estate will typical stay there or even increase during longer time spans. A car loan A car loan is in some way an in-between loan: You get the value of the car, and the bank is backed by collateral (the &amp;lsquo;automobile&amp;rsquo;), but during 10 years the car looses its value and during these years you should get rid of your car-loan. If you aren&amp;rsquo;t able to get through your installments you will get into misery with your loan. If you don&amp;rsquo;t fulfill the requirements in the loan contract the bank or another loan provider will take back the car, and you will be left with nothing. Loan and time Time is an important aspect of all kinds of loan taking. During time the amount of value you have to pay back will typical decrease due to inflation. But at the same time the rates of interest play a more than crucial role. Never, ever take a loan with delayed paying of rates of interest, unless it is a student loan to finance your education and studies. In that case be very basic in your requirements for daily life &amp;ndash;as that will help you later. Student loan As soon as you graduate and get a job make sure you eliminate your student loan with a debt consolidation loan. Student loan consolidation is a must unless you have a wealthy family and then I doubt you will be in need for any student loans. For the student loan consolidation you should be better served by a government sponsored federal student loan than by a private loan. Anyway seek for financial advice and remember that many financial advisors aren&amp;rsquo;t independent, but earn from their advice and what you agree upon as conditions for a loan. Loan and long-term quality of life The earlier in life the more important it is to be modest in requirements not to build up a lot of debt but to make use of personal loans at a minimum and to use that to increase your long-term quality of life. Save a fixed part of the money you earn and keep your luxury dreams until later in life. Loan and your whole life Nothing in life is as bad an investment as a superfluous, luxury car. An expensive car loan has paved the road to failure for many, while investment in real estate at the right time has helped many to achieve a fortune without any hard time through a proper equity home loan. Similarly a home improvement loan can be a good investment, especially if such an construction home loan isn&amp;rsquo;t used for tearing down too much before adding a construction of real value to the house. Loans should be taken for added value. Soren Breiting is a family father with four grown up children who have learned to take care of their economy in time.

Water retention is influenced by water consumption and salt intake.  The less water you drink the more water you retain.  Sodium is a sneaky substance. One half cup of instant pudding has 4 times the sodium of salted nuts (460mg vs. 123mg).  The greater the processing the greater the sodium content. Read labels, canned foods, boxed mixes and frozen dinners are usually very HIGH in sodium while fruits, vegetables, lean meats and beans are very LOW.  Glycogen is the fuel tank of stored carbohydrate in the liver and muscle tissue. Glycogen stores can fluctuate your weight by 4-5 pounds without changing your amount of body fat.  There are 3500 calories contained in ONE POUND of fat. So it is therefore impossible to gain 5 pounds (17,500 calories) from one meal. When the scale goes up 3-4 pounds overnight its likely to be water; glycogen and the weight of your dinner.  The scale weighs muscle, bone, water, internal organs and fat. When you lose weight that doesnt necessarily mean that youve lost fat. Losing MUSCLE is nothing to celebrate about since muscle is METABOLICALLY active tissue.  The more muscle you have the more calories your body burns while exercising. A lean body can burn up to 200 more calories per hour during aerobic activity than those with average body composition. KEYS TO FAT LOSS If you want to increase your lean muscle tissue and reduce body fat here is the list you must become familiar with:  Perform weight lifting exercises  Consume adequate amounts of complete protein each meal  Get proper rest  Stimulate your pituitary gland to increase hGH levels, eat low glycemic foods  Keep your stress levels low  Exercise in the morning on an empty stomach  Balance your macro-nutrients (protein, carbohydrates and nutritional fats)  Add interval training while doing cardiovascular exercise  Take daily micro-nutrient supplements (vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants)  Avoiding high glycemic  Avoiding trans-fatty acids (potato chips and French fries), hydrogenated oils, and too much saturated fat.  Eliminating refined sugars  Eating every 3-4 hours to keep blood sugar levels stable (use a meal replacement drink or snack between meals for convenience and increasing protein levels). Your success in dropping body fat and increasing your energy levels starts with the understanding of these concepts. Take time to go over; memorize and incorporate these HABITS into your daily schedule. You will be AMAZED with the results!

Try these tips to give your childs vision a better chance. Brighten things up. Unfortunately, your mom was right: reading in dim light can wreak havoc on your eyes. Buy your child a good reading light, or make sure that homework is done in plenty of natural light. Give them space. Place a pillow about eight feet away from the TV, and tell your child they have to watch it from that distance. Sitting too close to a television leads to the same focus problems that your child can develop from using computers and video games. Take breaks. Experts agree that kids increased computer use can cause focus problems, particularly the ability to refocus on objects far away. Take note of how much time they spend in front of the computer, and make sure they take a ten-minute break every hour. Buy shades. Your child may not need glasses, but its a good idea to buy them sunglasses. UV exposure can lead to macular degeneration or the early development of cataracts. Dont skip eye exams. Children should be screened by an eye doctor or pediatrician between 6 and 12 months, 3 and 3  years, at 5, and then annually after that. Its not too late for adults to start practicing these techniques, also. Make them a family habit, and you could slow the loss of your vision as you age. Its important to set a good example for your children, too. This article has been written by Vanessa Pruitt, a mom working at home to promote wellness.

When it's possible, run your outline stitching first, this will help stabilize your fabric even further! 2. I prefer layering solvy while stitching out a design to add dimension. Sometimes the "film" solvy can get a bit heavy using this technique, causing stiffness and can be difficult to remove. We've found a great "web" type that gets the job done with less stiffness and is super easy to remove! The film type soluble is still best for the base layer &amp; I use it for every design I stitch on any fabric that water will not harm. 3. We've all heard the "stabilize, stabilize, ..." To the point that I'm now seeing a lot of you over stabilizing! This creates as many problems as you're trying to eliminate and wasting money. Don't over stabilize, use 1 or 2 layers of the correct stabilizer. Ask us about our commercial backings to get the best possible results for all your embroidery needs! 4. I always start with a commercial fusible backing in the appropriate weight for the fabric or garment I'm stitching on. We have 3 weights of fusibles in both permanent-for dense designs-and tear away. Two of them come in a generous 48" width. 5. If your skin is sensitive, we suggest using our soft tear away backing under a fusible layer for any garments that will lay next to the skin. The soft tear away is - also rated by the US government - for use in children's sleep wear and is formaldehyde free! 6. If you enjoy creating wearable art that's quilted, stippled or uses the trapunto technique, we have a great "fill" backing that won't make your garment look like a down jacket and is dense enough not to pull apart when it's laundered!

First, we hear that Ginkgo Biloba is good for our hearts and our brains, then they tell us is causes excessive bleeding, which can be life threatening in some situations---such as taking it prior to surgery. Next it was Kava Kava, an ancient root that has been relaxing islanders for years, and now the media says it causes liver damage. And what about Ephedra? While I have great respect for the medical community at large, I find it frustrating that many natural supplements are being labeled as dangerous when that just isn't the case. Ephedra has suffered the same bad rap. The properties of the Ma Huang plant have been healing people for 5,000 years, yet in the last 10 or 20 years, authorities are calling it dangerous. And I can tell you why.  Because anytime that something makes a person feel good, there will be people who abuse and over use it. Epedra fits into that category. Even though Ma Huang has been relieving our ancestors of various ailments---from asthma to lethargy-for centuries upon centuries, as soon as word got out in the West that one could lose weight and feel great (Ephedra speeds up metabolism and burns fat) a few people over indulged. Before too long, Ephedra was being touted as dangerous and it was temporarily banned in diet products. Having written two preventative health books and an on-going health column, I have had the opportunity to interview many authors, researchers, and physicians, both medical and naturopaths. The one thing I have learned in all of this is that nearly anything can be dangerous in excess. Many prescription drugs kills people every day. There are certain vitamins that would be toxic if you took too many. Not unlike drinking or recreational drugs, just about anything you consume, whether a natural or man-made supplement, has the potential to cause harm. In conclusion, I am convinced that Ephedra has gotten an unfair reputation as being a dangerous supplement when indeed, the danger only comes when people do not pay attention to the labels on the pills or do not consult their own health care practitioner when starting a new product. It only makes sense that a diet supplement that helps one lose weight is going to speed up the metabolism in order to burn fat, so, a person with heart disease would be remiss to partake without medical supervision. In my opinion and years of experience in a wide variety of medicinal herbs and supplements, I have found that the current Ephedra-based products on the market (when they abide by the current standard of 10 mg) are no more stimulating then two cups of coffee. As a society, it is our responsibility to pay attention to what we consume, act responsibly, and follow the recommended dosage. When we fail to do so, we wind up having products and supplements that are otherwise useful and beneficial, taken off the market for no one to enjoy.

They have concerns about invasive scrutiny by external organizations, potential loss of control, the possible polarizing effect on their staff and a fear that the focus will be on finding and punishing bad doctors. Because of inherent conflicts of interest that exist in hospitals peer review process, hospital quality management systems need to ensure objectivity and adherence to accepted medical protocols. For this reason, many hospital groups are proactively moving toward Independent Review Organizations for unbiased peer reviews. Not only are they seeing this as a best practice, but they also gain other benefits, including rapid resolution of sensitive cases, heading off high-profile lawsuits, reducing internal polarization and preventing damage to physicians careers. Done correctly, peer review takes a systematic approach to determining the reasons for sentinel events that have undesirable outcomes. The focus is not on good doctor or bad doctor issues, but on a broader range of questions such as: Was there adequate support? Were the protocols and processes defined? Do we have the right physician expertise and training to consistently produce positive patient outcomes? Do we need better trained assistance? The true goal of the peer review process is not to point fingers or punish people, but to improve patient safety by identifying quality management issues and fixing them.

Not just married, but happily married.  Believe it or not, it can be done! Being married does not mean that you give up your rights as an individual, nor should it mean that you disregard the niceties and pleasantries that attracted your mate to you in the first place. When I was young, little girls dreamed of meeting their knight in shining armor who would whisk them away from their dreary life, ensconce them in a little bungalow with a white picket fence and two cats in the yard.  Ok so thats part of a song title but still thats what little girls of days of yore envisioned. Things have changed!!  Boy have they changed.  Our white knights today are also looking for someone who will help take care of them.  Something unheard of when I was a child. Men were manly men and they didnt need anyone to take care of them. Men can still be manly men but todays sensitive women realize that men have the same needs that we women do.  Men need to feel loved, wanted, respected, needed, and above all, desired. Too often, we let our own selfish needs supersede that of our mates.  That is not to say that women should subjugate their wants and desires for themselves to men, nor vice versa. What we need to do is recognize each others needs and always aim for fair play.  What is the refrain from childhood that you probably still hear in your mind today?  Its Thats not fair!!  All any child wants is to be treated fairly.  We tend to forget this after we marry, and become complacent in our life, with our mate. When children are added to the mix, the complacency toward the marriage and spouse can degenerate to the point where married couples sometimes are no more than roommates to each other. What began as the embodiment of the Cinderella fairy tale begins to take on all the manifestations of a Grimms Fairy Tale. What happened? Where did the magic go?  When your spouse walks into the room, where is the fluttering in your heart that once made you feel so alive, so happy to see him or her?  Realistically, we know that this intense feeling of puppy love and unbridled passion cant last forever.  If it did, wed never get on with the rest of our lives.  For heavens sake, wed never go to work or do any housework. We wouldnt know any other rooms in the house existed other than the bedroom. So how do we at least keep the embers burning with occasional sparks of pure passion?  I am not a marriage counselor or professional expert by any stretch of the imagination.  But what I do have is 40 years experience of being a happily married womanmost of the time.  This isnt a fairy tale so lets be honest here.  Life has its ups and downs and married life seems to have more of them than single life. Here are some Dos and Donts then on how to improve your odds of being in the 40% of marriages.  Well start with the Donts.  I would say the most important criterion for a happy marriage is not to get married too young!  Sow those wild oats and sow them with abandon.  Enjoy your singlehood. Reach out and experience all of lifes flavors.  Travel, go to school, meet a lot of new and exciting people. With luck and some hard work, youll be married for many, many years and you dont want to look back on what you should have done, could have done.  Just because all your friends are getting married and popping out babies 1,2,3, doesnt mean you should. &lt;br /&gt; Dont have unrealistic expectations of what married life should be.  Remember you and your spouse are the same people as you were before you were married.  If you were happyor miserable then, marriage wont change this.&lt;br /&gt; Never take your spouse for granted.  This is probably one of the biggest marriage killers, next to adultery and money problems.  Just because youre married doesnt mean the Valentines Day gifts should stop or the phone calls during the day just to chat, and on and on and on ad infinitum.&lt;br /&gt; Never argue over money.  This is a very hard one to adhere to but try you must if you want to maintain a happy married life.  Make sure youre both on the same page when it comes to finances before you get married.  If one of you is a spender, and the other a saver, youd better have some sort of game plan before you walk down that aisle otherwise youre walking right into marital, if not, financial doom.&lt;br /&gt; This one is primarily for women  try not to put the children ahead of your husbandor at least try to work out some rational fair balance. (Remember thats not fair?) When women become moms, something incredible happens to us.  Something that other non-moms cannot understand. Our child (children) is now the most important things in our life.  We are mama bears looking out for our cubs and damned anyone who tries to interfere with this bond.  But before we were moms, we were mates and we must never forget that. Some important Dos  So do make time for your mate.  Every married couple should have a Date Night. It doesnt have to be a Saturday night.  It can be a Sunday morning brunch, just the two of you, or a night out at the movies or dinner at some out of the way place where you wont run into friends and spend the whole night talking to other people.  Make this a time for just you and your spouse.&lt;br /&gt; Always make time for passion. A common complaint from spouses (although this is primarily a mans complaint) is that their partner is too tired for sex.  If one partner is too tired, then the other partner should do whatever it takes to help alleviate this condition, perhaps helping out with the dishes or helping to vacuum, and make beds.  Whatever it takes to resolve the problem.  Just like the people who say they never have time to exercise, there are those who say they dont have time, or are too tired for, sex. You can always find time.  Lack of time or lack of energy is really just an excuse. &lt;br /&gt; Compliment each other.  It isnt just women who need compliments. Men need them too. If your spouse looks particularly appealing dont just think it and keep it to yourself. Let them know right then and there that youre admiring them, that you appreciate them.  If you think your spouse is a great parent, let them know. None of us are mindreaders.&lt;br /&gt; Take time to laugh with each other.  Laughing is definitely good for our mental and physical health.  &lt;br /&gt; Some people advocate never going to bed angry.  Sounds good but truth be told an awful lot of us would be up all night then!  Sometimes its good to let things cool down and literally sleep on them.  Cooler heads may prevail in the morning. Fight fair (heres that fair word again). Leave the past in the past and keep your fights limited to the issue at hand. Remembering why you fell in love with your spouse, and realizing that marriage is not always a 50/50 proposition (sometimes its 70/30 or 90/10), treating your spouse with the same consideration and respect that you would a friend or co-worker, will go a long way in helping to insure a long, and yes, a happy marriage. There is an old 30s or 40s song sung by Ella Fitzgerald which says into each life some rain must fall and when it rains in your life, which it inevitably will, youll be glad to have the comfort and love of someone who has stood by your side throughout the years. Someone you didnt throw away because of a temporary idea that single life is better or that marriage was boring or hard work.  You may not be sitting on your front porch in your rocking chair.  Heck, you may be out dancing and boogying with the best of them.  And the longer youre married, the more you will appreciate the person with whom you chose to spend the rest of your life.

Do you ever wish you could undertake that hobby again? About a month ago I was re-introduced to this craft. However, instead of your everyday pen pal relationships where one writes another a letter I found an underground world that is both fascinating and creative--A world of art and collectors. It is a world filled with its own language  filled with others just like myself who are addicted to snail-mail. I joined a pen pal group and was surrounded by code  FBs, Slams, Crams, Decos, FSS, NSW, NPW, etc I started researching what all this code meant and started a wee web site of definitions. Decos or Decorated Friendship Books are by far my newfound obsession. I really find that my artistic juices flow through swapping these with other moms across the world. I have been involved with swapping these for less than 2 months and have already received mail from Sweden, Germany, Spain, Estonia, and Russia. It is really exciting to find new pen pals from different cultures and to see how they decorate the book. Friendship books are little booklets of paper no more than 4 pages thick that are swapped among pen pals. When you receive one, you sign it with your name and address and note whether you are seeking new pen pals or swappers. A FSS or Friendship Sheet is the same as a Friendship book but done on 1 sheet of paper. A Cram is a small piece of paper that is used as a friendship sheet however you gather as many pen pals on your small piece of paper before sending it back to its owner. All the above are used as a means to gather more friends and/or to get to know your friends better. A Slam, unlike a friendship book, is a booklet filled with questions youd like to know about your pen pals. These are not the hate-filled books of high school. Sara Duggan is a mom of 2 boys and married to her soulmate of 11 years. She enjoys crocheting and writing in her spare time.

"Pen pals" as a term seems to come from a by-gone age when people would spend a couple of hours penning a letter on thick patterned paper, dipping into an ink well a long white quill pen made from a swan's feather. But don't be misled by this. The term "pen pals" has persisted into the Internet age, and come to mean different things to different people.  It still has its original meaning of remote friends in different parts of the world who you write to.  But for many singles, becoming a pen pal is seen as a way into using the online personals for single dating. Seeing yourself as a single pen pal who is seeking other single pen pals, has many advantages when it comes to dating online.  To begin with it offers that extra layer of protection or insulation that allows you to say if necessary: I'm just here as a pen pal, I am not interested in romance. It's a potential last resort, if the going gets tough. Being a single pen pal also gives you the advantage of time.  As a single pen pal you can take your time with a new contact, getting to know the other person and only gradually sounding that person out as a potential dating partner.  You can also have many such contacts on the go at the same time, providing you with the opportunity to see which ones might be romantically inclined and which not. However, time can also work against you.  If you spend all your time chatting to people who are ultimately not going to become potential dating partners then that may be time lost, depending on whether you see online friendships as an end in themselves or not.  If you have plenty of time to chat to people online, if you are young and not in a hurry to find a dating partner, then this may well be a good approach for you.  At the very least, it feels safer. Certainly when you approach dating through the route of pen pals -- or more directly -- online dating gives you the advantage that you have the time to "suss somebody out", rather than trying to weigh her or him up in the short space of an hour or two in the heady context of an actual date. That is the big advantage lent to dating by the Internet; the disadvantage is that you cannot see somebody face-to-face and see their body language, and so be in a position to make judgments about them and their potential as a dating partner based on these 'traditional' factors.  So, see online single dating for what it is, a system that has its limitations but does give you the advantage of time -- so long as you are not in too much of a hurry -- an advantage of time that can sometimes be better utilized by becoming a pen pal.

That's the kind of affirmation we hear people say. To overcome this feeling of worthlessness you need to make 3 little steps that will help you discover the genius within you. 1. You need to motivate yourself. First of all, remember that great people learned a basic and essential quality you need to acquire: persistence. Very successful people failed many times, like most of us. But they get up right away and they begin again and again until they eventually succeed. We can motivate ourselves by seeing the result in our mind as if it has already occurred. Feel what you would feel if you have better grades. Name this feeling. Amplify this feeling until it becomes very pleasant. Now, you are going to add some new feelings upon this first feeling. Do you remember a time when you were really excited about something? When you have this excitemant in you, add it to the first very pleasant feeling as if you put a coat of excitement over the coat of 'very pleasant state'. Let this feeling of excitement diffuse in you and notice how you feel. Notice how feel very motivated, calm and confident. And for a moment, you know that you will succeed in school. But something holds you back. You need to make this second step.... 2. You need to get rid of the beliefs that hold you back Consider the law of belief: whatever you believe becomes your reality. Once you understand and appropriate this belief in yourself, you discover that you can do many things and especially have better grades. Throughout your life you learn. It's a never-ending process. School is just the beginning of this process with its special rules and rewards, which can sometimes seem unfair. You begin to change by being aware that you are a potential genius and that you CAN do better and you WILL. What do you learn from having bad grades? Consider that it is an opportunity to learn. And most important, it's a chance to learn that you're not the problem; it's only your strategies. That's why you need to take the last lesson... You need to learn how to learn 3. You need new strategies. If something doesn't work, do something else. First, be aware of your learning style. Are you visual, auditory, kinesthetic? Remember that you have multiple intelligences and when you use them as much as possible you increase your chances of having better results. Have the end in mind. Act as if you already had the solution. Now you only need to fill in the blanks. If you already know where to go, your brain will help you find the solutions. Use mind maps, movement and imagination. Learning how to learn is a necessity for children and adults to perform better in life. These three steps are important to succeed in school. One step takes care of your beliefs, another of your emotions and the other one of your strategies to have better grades and to perform better in life.

At times life can become an unmitigated horror as the world slowly but surely converts every plant that grows and ever creature that is born into fertilizer to feed future doomed generations. Nobody knows the trouble Ive seen -- Nobody knows but Jesus. We really are finite beings adrift in an dangerous world, beset consistently by the tragic human triad of suffering, guilt and death. George Santayana, the brilliant Harvard philosopher wrote; Life is neither entertainment nor a feast but a predicament to be resolved in the face of enormous difficulties. Most of us do indeed live out at least some portions of our lives in quiet desperation.  As many as one person in five suffers from serious mental or spiritual health disorders at times. In addition, we are all caught up in the frustrations of life virtually all our days. During my half century of psychospiritual research, this puzzle emerged from the writings of men and women like Soren Kierkegaard, Carl Jung, Karen Horney, Otto Rank, Laura Perls, Abraham Maslow Melanie Klein and many others.  Some of them started as agnostics or atheists who like Sigmund Freud thought God was a security myth, religion a fraud, worship and prayer naively subjective and faith, hope and love meaningless illusions.  I understand their skepticism.  How could any serious scholar want anything to do with the state controlled churches of their day -- as the clergy pandered to the nobility and betrayed families into poverty and slaughter in religious and financial wars?  Nevertheless, as they matured personally and professionally, when everything psychological had been researched, after theyd reached the limits of psychotherapy, the incredible insights in the following paragraph appeared regularly in many of my most influential scholars lectures, therapy sessions and books. To mature beyond neurotic anxiety, to cope with existential alienation, to live purposefully and win consistent satisfaction, each person must develop a faith as if God were real.  We scholars can find no God -- religion probably panders to human weakness, prayer and worship are frauds, Nevertheless, to avoid crippling our souls, we must pretend that God exists and offer devotion to this myth because doing so gives us a crucial sense of security in a dangerous world. We can then live with the illusions of faith, hope and love that are essential for a meaningful life. Oh my -- how wondrously droll, how deeply self-serving, how terribly convoluted!  Fortunately, there is a much better way, for according to William of Occam, with all factors being equal, the simplest solution to a problem is usually the best one.  Soren Kierkegaard, the always brilliant and forever relevant godfather of modern psychology, the most equal of my score or so authors, along with Ernest Becker, saw life more clearly than most. The Danish philosopher of the First Industrial Revolution, when writing about satisfaction reported; The only way we humans can find contentment in a commercial society is through a self-transcending faith in God that lifts us beyond a fearful, frustrated and meaningless existence. We must become Knights of Faith. You must understand this; In this seminar I examine aspects of human personality and experience that are filled with painful and self-defeating elements.  It is worse than useless to ignore our problems when every newspaper exposes us to a flood of human disasters.  Nevertheless, my approach is spiritual and positive when followed through to the end.  I shall try hard to teach you how to peer into your souls, to balance knowledge and wisdom, psychology and philosophy and the earthy elements of psychotherapy with the cosmic elements of worship --  in order to deal with human suffering and to make life come out well along the way. I use the term psychospiritual with a full understanding of its dual implications of emotional and philosophical elements. SECOND -- THE CONTRITE SPIRIT&lt;br /&gt;The next astonishing consensus to emerge from my brilliant psychological giants is the necessity of personal repentance in the deliverance of ones soul. To resolve our spiritual difficulties, to succeed in our quest for liberation, we must successfully pass through the major emotional crisis of human liberation.  During this conflict, the soul with its unconscious scar tissue; repressed, anxious, subjective and frozen at the core of our being, must surrender itself.  Selfishness must yield to generosity.  We must mature beyond the immature attitude of I - MYSELF ALONE.  The seeker after freedom, to use St. Pauls concepts, must nurture a contrite attitude in order to regret and abandon personal selfishness.  In psychoanalytic terms, the self must sacrifice the ego in order to become free of its tyranny.  Only after we have removed our emotional armor, have matured beyond egoistic self-deception and often gone past the assistance psychotherapy can give us to connect consciously with God, can we find deliverance.  We have too many primitive homosapien traits to break free in our own strength.  We need assistance to mature beyond our posturing and pretension, past our repressed killer-ape paranoia and nagging anxieties, beyond our compulsive defenses.  We must abandon such baggage to escape through the prison bars we ourselves have erected for ego protection against our anxiety and guilt. Only then can we find the courage, knowledge and wisdom to become spiritually and emotionally free as Jesus, St. Paul, Augustine, Martin Luther King and Sister Theresa among many others were liberated souls -- were Kierkegaards Knights of the Spirit.  . Our search for freedom via the repentance of our failures, with sincere contrition, creates several crucial questions to be answered as we seek liberation from our homosapien anxiety and rage through faith and self-awareness.  We must ask ourselves; How can I end my self-defeating ego defenses, remove my emotional and cultural armor to become the loving parent, supportive spouse and faithful friend I yearn to be? How shall I courageously stand in my quaking and bleeding nakedness - my ego crying out for esteem regardless of who is abused, without being overwhelmed by the cruelties of life? How can I, a mere mortal already living under a death sentence, in a prison of my own making, successfully make my way through this con- fusing maze of suffering, guilt and death that is the unavoidable tragic triad of existence? THIRD -- FOREVER BECOMING&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could tell you that my special scholars  identified two shortcuts to soul liberation that shall sweep you into happiness all the days of your life. It would also be wonderful if each person could make a single emotional adjustment, like the religious experience called being born again that is expected by many to guarantee forever each believers spiritual liberation. I recall, during my youth in a fundamentalist revival meeting, an enthusiastic young evangelist begging us to come forward to shake his hand and accept Christ as our personal savior.  That would, he assured us, take us straight to heaven regardless of where we strayed or what sins we committed later in life.  He pleased some rebellious adolescents greatly but horrified our parents by saying; Come and shake my hand, signifying your acceptance of Christ, and then it doesnt matter whether death overtakes you drunk in a saloon or from the arms of a harlot -- you shall have been saved, you will go directly to heaven for an eternity with Jesus and with God our heavenly father. I remember my father grumbling aghast to my mother; What is that idiot teaching our teenagers -- that living a Christian life gives them license to immorality and sin, to drunkenness and adultery, if you first get saved?  Hes a loony.  Not only must you talk the talk; each Christian must walk the walk.  You must run the race through to the end! I shall elaborate more on this later but for now, let me say here that dealing successfully with life and its problems, with our secret yearnings, is much like following a twelve- steps program for drug addicts.  It is never a one-time event such as being redeemed through a simple mental assent.  Human nature is too complex for so simplistic a deliverance, although as an aspect of Gods grace, it must begin with contrition and a connection with the Cosmic Creator.  Given the fact we are subjective and finite creature-selves, frequently in conflict in an imperfect world, our psychospiritual health is always a life-long project we must accept and follow through to the end.  Of course that creates a problem for many because we are such impatient souls.  We are indeed attracted to quick fix solutions whether in religion, industry, education or our personal lives.  Even more, we really want to pretend nothing is wrong and then when we are forced to face some unpleasant reality, we usually call in a specialist, have the expert do the quick fix and write out a check.  Psychospiritual healing doesnt occur that way -- it is process that always extracts a price and often draws blood.  Life becomes really satisfying through psychospiritual maturing and no one grows up in a few weeks or months.  We mature and nurture ourselves in stages and while others can help, as with Alcoholics Anonymous, you have to very much want to rid yourself of your conscious and unconscious methods of avoiding personal responsibility before you get free. Through this program I shall be dealing with some of the common defenses humans use to feel good about ourselves in a difficult world where life is often nasty, brutish and short. These include keeping secrets from ourselves (repression) -- pretending that unpleasant things didnt occur or really are not that bad (denial) and keeping existence simplistic (avoidance).  This leads to yet another paradox. Given the difficult nature of life, while we cope with the tragic triad of suffering, guilt and death, we normally protect our egos in our search for satisfaction, Of course, we all need defenses to avoid severe anxiety that would render us unable to function well.  On the other hand, when we use too many ego defenses, they play havoc in our families, companies, churches and communities.  Getting along without falling into despair is somewhat like balancing along a tight rope.  We live on a continuum between neurotic domination and crippling isolation and we must work every day to make life come out right.  Much as a recovering addict must deliberately choose each morning to remain sober even as his or her insecurities are clamoring for counterfeit liberation. Life in the raw is often too painful, too dangerous to face without  pretensions, ego games and hidden secrets.  In fact, we learn early in childhood that some very nasty things happen to everyone -- that life is fatal in the end with no one getting out alive.  Just last week as I write this, a darling little second grade girl in our community slipped on ice while running after a school bus and was crushed in front of many of her schoolmates.  It was devastating to them and I wept as I thought of the precious little life cut short in the terrible accident. Amy my own ten year old red-headed, left-handed granddaughter with a mind of her own, recently revealed her anxiety about death to her grandmother.  And while I probably would have overwhelmed Amy with my research, Roberta in essence told her that is why we are Christians.  She recommended she keep her head cool, her feet warm, her diet modest and to always trust in the Lord.  My, oh my -- I do have a bevy of strong women in my life.  One wife, one daughter, one daughter in law, several granddaughters and a great granddaughter, who keep me honest and humble in our dealings! To pretend that life is a rose-garden is nothing but self-deception and denial. Therefore we must learn how to cope with the reality of existence that is often very hard to bear without fleeing from reality by becoming neurotic. Unfortunately, reality is so terrible a burden to lay on us as children, while  we are learning who we are, where we belong and what life is all about, we all use self-deceptive repression and denial.  The key is to keep them from dominating our choices.  We must learn how to cope successfully with lifes tragic triad and then work at it regularly. It has become obvious that the great human problems of our era no longer come from the forces of nature but from within ourselves.  Wars, hunger for half the worlds people and even global warming are human created conditions.  As the great philosopher Pogo Possum (a k a Walt Kelly) said, We have met the enemy and he is us.  We are finite beings who simply cannot find redemption and liberation through our own wisdom and courage.  With our psychological unconscious scheming selfishly to dominate others,  or conversely, yearning for some great, god-like figure to assume our responsibility for life, we lack the spiritual resources to pull it off in our own strength.  Fortunately, we can find self-transcending liberation, as reported in the Atheists Enigma and a Contrite Spirit, while we are connected consciously with God.  As Pope John Paul II said; We cannot be good without God. To which I add; We cannot even feel consistently satisfied about ourselves and our achievements without a connection with God that lifts us beyond our own failures and insecurities.

Time is precious, but oh, how we squander&lt;br /&gt;time on our hands. Time flies, we ask ourselves, where &lt;br /&gt;does time go? The clock ticks away and so does our&lt;br /&gt;heartbeats as we forge ahead to beat the clock.&lt;br /&gt;For some, the 24 hours of a day are not enough to&lt;br /&gt;allow them to meet all those commitments that &lt;br /&gt;demand time, precious time. People to meet, places&lt;br /&gt;to go, things to do and not enough time to do it all! Thus the word quality time has evolved. Do we&lt;br /&gt;really understand what  it means? We share a few &lt;br /&gt;minutes or hours with those we love,  we call it &lt;br /&gt;quality time. Is this supposed to fill in the broad &lt;br /&gt;gaps of time away from them? Does this ensure &lt;br /&gt;freedom from guilt as we merrily or hurriedly&lt;br /&gt;go on from  project to project? Short and sweet takes on a new meaning- at times&lt;br /&gt;this is all there is to share. Distance is great impediment &lt;br /&gt;to keep families in close touch. Celebrations come and&lt;br /&gt;go, some family members or close friends will always be &lt;br /&gt;absent. They dont have the time to come and share in &lt;br /&gt;a celebration. But, technology offers a variety of options to keep in &lt;br /&gt;touch with anyone, especially those we profess to love. &lt;br /&gt;Many of us have forgotten the wonder of the written &lt;br /&gt;word- a letter or a card in the mail can bring a smile, &lt;br /&gt;tender memories or feelings of joy for the recipient.  &lt;br /&gt;But who writes letters these days? How much time&lt;br /&gt;does it take to call someone just to keep in touch? Time is a gift many of us forget its value. In the&lt;br /&gt;midst of a busy life, it is difficult to find the time&lt;br /&gt;to give  to anyone but the very immediate&lt;br /&gt;family. Even with this limited circle, time can be&lt;br /&gt;in very short supply. Stop a moment and reflect on this. Where and how do&lt;br /&gt;we spend our time that justifies the lack of it to&lt;br /&gt;share with those we love or care for? The world will&lt;br /&gt;not fall apart if you take some time to be with&lt;br /&gt;those you love. Your business, your career&lt;br /&gt;your hobby, your social life and other commitments&lt;br /&gt;that demand part of your time certainly cant&lt;br /&gt;take priority over your loved ones.Not all the time. Time can be budgeted- for those who are too &lt;br /&gt;busy to stop and think of where their day goes.&lt;br /&gt;How one spends time can be analyzed in order&lt;br /&gt;to make more time for the important issues in life.&lt;br /&gt;Remember, years will pass by, lifestyles can &lt;br /&gt;change and health becomes a concern at one point.&lt;br /&gt;It can happen to us! At a certain stages in life, material gifts do not  &lt;br /&gt;matter.  A child would rather have the presence of&lt;br /&gt;Mom and Dad at school functions or other activities.&lt;br /&gt;It gives that re-assurance that they really care.&lt;br /&gt;These memories will be cherished for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;An expensive gift clearly. spells guilt and can &lt;br /&gt;not fill in  a void nor smooth out feelings of&lt;br /&gt;resentment and disappointment. As we get older, presents do not have the luster&lt;br /&gt;these once had. Tastes and circumstances change.&lt;br /&gt;Time becomes a very dominant part of life at&lt;br /&gt;this stage. Precious time shared leaves a &lt;br /&gt;feeling of being loved, a thoughtful gesture that &lt;br /&gt;warms a lonely heart. A gift of time can be one of the most precious&lt;br /&gt;gifts anyone can share; time that can brighten&lt;br /&gt;up ones life even just for a brief moment. It&lt;br /&gt;leaves memories that will last till the next time. A gift of precious time can mean a lot.

If there is some urgency to be met then there is no other option than to borrow money. In such a case short term payday loan is seen as the best option for taking quick loan at comparatively easier conditions. Any person in need of a smaller amount can opt for short term payday loan and can use for any purpose like renovation of home, buying a vehicle, clearing medical or other bills. As is clear by its name, Short Term Payday Loan is taken for a short period of one or two weeks. This is the time when salaried people are finished with last pay and normally have little money to spare for other expenses. So the loan is asked for up to the time the borrower gets next paycheque. Because of short term and urgency involved, short term payday loan is instantly approved by the lenders. The loan amount comes in the borrowers bank account within hours of applying for the loan. To avail the loan, borrower may have to present a post dated cheque to the lender. The cheque contains borrowed amount and fee of the lender. At the due date, the lender deposits the cheque in the borrowers account and gets back his loaned amount. So one can say the cheque in a way secures the loan, though it is basically unsecured loan in nature. Under short term payday loan, one can easily avail 100 to 1500 depending on his income, the post he is working in and his overall financial standing. One slight disadvantage is the loan is offered at higher interest rate and there is high fee of the lenders also. This is mainly owing to the unsecured nature of the loan which involves certain risk. Short term of the loan also is responsible for higher interest rate. For people labeled bad credit, short term payday loan is equally available at the same terms and conditions as for good credit holders. With employment status, income source and financial position verified, lenders normally do not perform credit check on the borrower. Moreover lenders take advance post dated cheque from the borrower to secure the loan amount. Borrowers must ensure that sufficient amount remains in their account for clearing of the post-dated cheque otherwise legal action may be taken. The loan comes at high interest rate and fee, so pay off the loan in time. If taken wisely the loan goes a long way in improving financial health and credibility of borrower. Apply online for the loan for maximum benefits as this way you can settle for a suitable loan package out of many offers that come your way.

And when evening approaches and the breeze gets cooler, an outdoor swing is also the perfect place to sit and unwind after a hard day while you watch the fireflies light up the ever darkening sky. The truth is that an outdoor wooden swing offers more than just a place to sit and relax. Seating areas created with wooden swings become outdoor rooms and extensions of the home in which you can enjoy quality time with friends and family. You can place a wooden swing in your favorite spot of your flower garden, on your porch, overlooking a pond or just simply place it in your back yard. No matter where you decide to put it, a wooden swing will enhance your outdoor space and may quickly become the favorite spot in the house. And there are so many different wooden swings to choose from that you are sure to find one to perfectly match your personality, budget and existing dcor. You can choose from several different styles including Nantucket, Cottage, Adirondack and Rustic, just to name a few. You can also have your choice of several different types of premium, durable wooden materials including teak, cypress, pine and cedar. Take for instance the Sheraton porch swing crafted by Kingsley-Bate. Hand carved from Javanese teak wood in the ageless, romantic 18th century style, this wooden swing is breathtaking in its exquisite beauty. This particular wooden swing is assembled with precise mortise and tenon joinery, and will provide your family with a comfortable place to relax for decades to come. Since the Sheraton porch swing is constructed with teak, it is extremely durable. Teak, a hard strong durable yellowish-brown wood, grows in the region of Southeast Asia and is harvested from the surrounding forests and teak plantations by the locals. The wood of the teak tree is naturally resistant to insects, warping, splintering and the elements, which makes it an ideal wood for creating outdoor furniture. If you prefer something a little more classic in design, perhaps the Nantucket porch swing would be your best bet. This wooden swing features heavy construction and heavily scaled pieces crafted from Southern Yellow Pine. In addition to a natural finish, there are 28 color finish options available with the Nantucket porch swing which includes eye-catching colors such as lime, mauve and canary or more sedate colors such as sunny yellow, island green and white. You can also choose from several finish options such as natural, pristine, washed and distressed. No matter which wooden swing that you choose, you can be assured that you are selecting a piece of furniture that fits you and your family and one that will remain beautiful and durable for decades. Why not take a look? You may be surprised by how many choices you have.

When should I Prune? To prune correctly you must find out the type of plant your bonsai is and research when the best times are to prune old and new season growth. Generally, new growth is pruned during the growing season to maintain the shape of the bonsai, whilst pruning of hard wood (old season growth) is done in mid-autumn. Forms of Pruning Finger Pruning One of the main forms of pruning for bonsai, especially evergreen coniferous bonsai such as junipers and cedars is 'finger pruning'. This involves pinching back new growth, which does not come within the general shape of the bonsai or is at the top of the bonsai helping to encourage bushy foliage and a more tree-like looking bonsai. To do this, take the growth between your thumb and forefinger whilst holding the branch with your other hand and remove with a twisting movement. This is better than trimming the growth with scissors; this leaves an unnatural look and leaves the foliage an unsightly brown. However for deciduous trees, scissor tip pruning is best. When trimming outward or 'overenthusiastic' growth, trim shoots back to just after the next series of leaves, but don't cut the foliage as such. Branch Pruning Pruning of branches is performed in spring. Much, but not all of the new growth is removed. Branches are selected early on as the only branches to be allowed to prosper, while the excess branches are mercilessly pruned off. Leaf Pruning Leaf pruning (also known as defoliation) in bonsai is used for several deciduous and tropical plants to reduce leaf size, remove unsightly leaves and speed-up growth by causing two seasons' growth in one. This is done in mid-summer, by cutting 60-90% of the leaves off the tree, only leaving a few to ensure that the tree keeps its energy. Remove leaves with fine scissors, cutting them from directly behind the leaf. In the next few weeks make sure that you keep the plant in a hospitable position and climate and supply it adequate water. Remember however, that this form of pruning is only applicable to certain types of plants. Root Pruning Bonsai trees are intentionally allowed to become root-bound in their containers, and the roots too, are pruned. But root-bound plants won't thrive forever in that condition and, indeed, bonsai trees must be re-potted every two or three years to furnish the roots with fresh soil. Last but not the least, the main factor in maintaining bonsai is the removal of all but the most important parts of the plant. Bonsai is all about the reduction of everything just to the essential elements and ultimate refinement.

We know that we should make changes in our eating, exercise, and lifestyle habits, but sometimes we just get stuck in our old ways of thinking and eating. Why do we get so stuck in not-so-good-for-you habits and stay stuck when we know better? There are many reasons for getting stuck. The more aware you become of what keeps you in the food rut, the more likely you will free yourself from that rut so you can reach a higher level of health and fitness. What keeps you stuck in a body less than your ideal?  Could it be: Conditioning &lt;br /&gt;Habits &lt;br /&gt;Emotional bondage &lt;br /&gt;Ignorance &lt;br /&gt;Laziness &lt;br /&gt;Complacency (self-satisfaction) &lt;br /&gt;Too many voices &lt;br /&gt;Fear &lt;br /&gt;Doctor worship &lt;br /&gt;10.It wont happen to me In this article, lets explore ignorance, laziness, and complacency. Ignorance:  Many people simply do not know that what they we eat has a direct effect upon their health.  If they do know that food plays a role in their health, they dont know how important food really is. And certainly many people continue to eat what they were taught to eat when they were children.  After all, their mothers knew what was best for them, and they just continue to eat what they were taught to eat by their mothers and have eaten all their lives. They do not know that most experts agree that the fat, cholesterol, and even the animal protein found in animal products, along with the white sugar, white flour, and white salt products are direct contributors to loss of health, debilitating conditions, diseases, and premature death. A diet, filled with whole fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and seeds, promotes health and reduces the chances of getting life-shortening diseases.  Many people just dont know that. Ignorance is not bliss.  It is deadly. Laziness:  If we are aware, most of us are lazy at some times in our lives and some of us are lazy when it comes to changing eating habits.  We know better, but we are simply too lazy to change our thinking and our patterns.  Does that sound familiar to you? As Jim Rohn says, the pain of regret is far greater than the pain of self-discipline.  And havent we all experienced that lesson more than once in our lives?  Yet, how many of us still havent learned that lesson? Complacency (or self-satisfied):  Some of you convince yourselves that you eat well enough.  You eat in moderation, you tell yourself. You eat balanced meals. You eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.  You dont eat that much meat, cheese, and salty or sugary snacks.  You take good care of yourself. You think that you are doing good enough so, therefore, there is no need for you to make any changes at all.  So, you stay stuck in your comfortable, self-satisfied ways and dont try to make any changes that could make a difference between life and premature disease and early death. Often times, the people stuck in complacency are the hardest people of all to reach. They already know it all.  There is nothing left to learn. Do complacency, laziness, or ignorance keep you stuck in the food muck? Part 3 of this article explores: too many voices, fear, doctor worship, and It wont happen to me.

The truth is that Lent is completely fallacious, and should be treated as such. Now, it is no more than a calendar event; only a few observe what it demands. The forty days of Lent represent the forty days which Jesus spent in the wilderness at the outset of His Ministry. He did not just stumble unto the fast. The Bible tells us: Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, If you are the Son of GOD, tell these stones to become bread.    Matthew 4:1-3. The fast was His preparation to face temptation by Satan. This world in which we live is in the domain of Satan. Evildoer The main point we are making here is that man cannot save himself. Salvation is entirely at GODs mercy. He designed it. Also, it is at His prerogative that we are saved. It is not in dispute that it is a good thing to fast, or to be contrite for your sins. The point is that it contributes nothing towards your salvation. You may reinforce your prayers with fasts. That your prayers are answered contributes nothing towards the salvation of your soul. You may even pray and raise the dead. It is still the same thing. Simply, you have asked, and you have received. After all, respecting the Judgment Day, Jesus says: Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me you evildoers.  Matthew 7:21-23. You are not an evildoer when the Spirit directs your spirit to do the will of GOD. You are then a son of GOD, Romans 8:14 and you have the righteousness of GOD. On the other hand, your self-righteousness is like a filthy rag before Him. Isaiah 64:6. The Bible says: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith---and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of GOD---not of works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. If salvation were of works, especially as demanded by Lent, then you would be entitled to expect salvation if you have fulfilled your part. You may even want to demand it as of right. Salvation is for the soul Jesus Christ says that His words are spirit. Paul, on his part, says that the law is spirit; therefore flesh and blood cannot obey it. This explains why activities in flesh and blood contribute nothing towards salvation. It is unfortunate that the intrinsic concept of salvation has eluded the majority of Christians. Salvation is a spiritual matter. It is the soul or spirit that needs it and can achieve it. You are saved when your spirit becomes suitable for a life with GOD. In the Garden of Eden, man died in the spiritual and continued existence in the physical nature of flesh and blood. It is the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Spiritual that guarantees mans return to spiritual life with GOD where eternal life is possible. This is why Jesus Christ was able to be categorical: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6. Of course, GOD is Spirit. The only way for man to come to the Father is to unite with Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection. This is achieved through baptism when properly done. Otherwise, it is meaningless and achieves nothing. Maybe you can now see what happens when you are born of water as Jesus demands. What Lent is all about The purpose of Lent is to enlist empathy for the sufferings Jesus Christ went through during His last days on earth, ending in His Crucifixion. What for? This is analogous to the case of a patient who had to undergo surgery to get well. He now sets aside some days during graduation as an annual event, observing sleepless nights in empathy with the surgeon who, as a student, had to swot for many nights. The irony is that, while doing all that, he has not been faithful to his medication. His health is still constantly threatened. Really, the Lenten season has given the purpose of Easter a somersault. Christmas marks the birth of Jesus Christ. Angels, even, rejoiced at it. Easter marks the triumphant completion of the Mission of Jesus Christ. By all means, this should be approached not with fasting, and soberness, but resounding jubilation. Our salvation becomes a certainty. The end of a thing is more important than its beginning. Ecclesiastes 7:8. Christians make it appear as if the LORD GOD did not approve the sufferings. Isaiah prophesied: Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by GOD, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5. There you are. The LORD GOD condemned Lent about 700 B.C. The feeling of sorrow during Lent is misdirected. Rather, we should jubilate that the LORD GOD has worked out our salvation, and be thankful. Jesus says: As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Fathers command and remain in his love. John 15: 9-10. Jesus Christ shed his blood to establish the New Covenant. A good deal of Christians have no idea what the promises of GOD in this Covenant are. They are not committed in any way to ensure these promises are fulfilled for them. Unfortunately, salvation is impossible outside this Covenant. Indeed, Jesus Christ wants to save you, wants to love you. The ball is in your court. All you have to do is to make it possible for Him to love and save and save you. Cornelius is a Nigerian. He went to Britain for his university education. He obtained B.Sc. Hons. Physics, and M.Sc.

Catalogue your photos by theme, year, location or event. This is something you will need to decide on your own as to which way you would like to organize them. Either use a photo box, folders, envelopes or plastic sleeves and name each one by the category you are planning to use. Here are a few category examples. people time periods places events holidays pets family graduation weddings birthdays awards picnics children school functions concerts seasons vacations tourist spots friends babies Begin sorting your images into each folder and selecting only those photos that are suitable such as the Best shots, the shots that capture the most detail about that day Don't be afraid to choose photos that may need cropping, if you are not ready to cut your photos and take a little creative license with your memories then its not time to start Scrapbooking with photos instead use color copies or re-prints. Once you have all your Scrapbooking quality photos sorted set them aside and choose one folder and one event to begin with. Whilst you have all your photos out why not take the time to organize those ones you are not going to use for Scrapbooking either into boxes or albums. If while sorting through your images you come across photos you know you will want to use together in a layout at a later date, then go ahead and create a sub-category such as //Birthdays / Toms Birthdays. Then Place them into an envelope inside that categories plastic sleeve in this case //Birthdays// or into an envelope Cleary marked //Toms// slipped into that sleeve, section or bag which ever you have used to sort your photos. A little organization goes a long way all you need is to create a system and stick to it.

No. The Bible tells us that God will, bless whom He will Bless, and Curse, whom He shall Curse. All being within His will, and His plan for each and every, man, woman and Child upon this earth. Those that are poor in this life, fearing God, shall be rich in the next, for eternity. Those that are rich in this life, without the fear of God, shall be brought low, and humbled in the next, for eternity. Why are there poor and rich, why are there those, that drink wine, while others drink water? &lt;br /&gt;We see the answer to this in Romans 9:13-6;  As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.&lt;br /&gt;For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. Many ask the question that appears in  Romans 19:21; Why hast thou made me thus? Why do I drink water, while my fellow brothers and sisters, in far away lands, drink wine, and eat of the fat of the field, and have no want. I wear rags, while others wear robes of silk. I eat glean from the field, while others, eat of the fatted calf, Why? Why am I poor, destitute and impoverished? Why am I always struggling each day, to glean out a living? The answer to these questions are simple. 1.  I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 2.To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Gods mercy and compassion upon all believers, is based upon, Gods will for that individual. Will a poor man listen to the rich concerning salvation, or would the rich listen to the poor concerning these same things? Greek to Greek, Jew to Jew, strong to strong, and the weak to the weak. All men have a ministry to some one or to some area of mankind, and whom is to say where we minister? I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. These words from God are strong words. He is stating that, His power comes from no one. His ability and eternal Godhead is His own, and He owes no allegiance to no man. His compassion is His to give or contain. His mercy is open to those, whom He wills and is hidden from those that He is teaching and trying. Look at it this way. Take a tube of clay and make something, it doesn't matter what, just the first thing that comes into your mind. Now that you have made it, is it what you wanted to make? Did someone force you to make what you made? Can you not take that same thing, that you have made, and reshape it into something else? Or can you just put it back in the tube, and work with it later? So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. Have you formed God, or has God formed you, and place you into a situation of wealth, or poverty? Has He not shaped, and formed you into His likeness, and being conformed into His will, you are, who you are? &lt;br /&gt;Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?&lt;br /&gt;Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? (Rom 9:20-21.) Am I ashamed of where God has placed me, or has formed me? By no means, for I am, who I am, by the will of God. I offer no apology for who I am, or for what I possess. For all things come to us in due time. My brothers and sister, are better off than I, but do I look at what they have and compare it to what I possess? By no means, each has a ministry to fulfill. They meet people, that I do not know, and preach to members of society, where I have yet to reach. Just as the Apostle Paul stated, Greek to Greek, Jew to Jew, strong to strong, and the weak to the weak. Am I then considered poor? Yes, according to the society that I live among. Am I also considered rich? Yes. According to those that have less. Then am I rich or poor? I am neither, for I am but a servant to all men, I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Which brings us back to the same question; Why are there poor and rich, why are there those, that drink wine, while others drink water?  The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. Are we to tell the potter, whom to make good and to whom to make evil, rich or poor, strong or weak?  He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.(1Sa 2:7)(1Sa 2:8) &lt;br /&gt;When the word of the Lord is delivered unto you poor and rich, do you stop and take note of what He is saying? Do you ignore the word and call upon man for your deliverance? If this is so, then where has your faith gone? Do you, being Sons of the most High still feel sorry for yourself? Remember the man who complained that he had no shoes, and the Lord replied, You have no shoes, but what about the man, that has no feet? Do you have a shirt, shoes, clothing for today? Do you have a piece of bread, and a glass of water for today? Is there breath within your body, and does your heart beat, today? Have you seen anyone saved, because of your testimony of Christ? Do you not know that, God is a whisper in the wind, the shadow on the ground, the roar of the oceans, and in the wings of the eagle? Do you not know that God is in the highest mountain, and within the deepest valley? Do you not know that God can reach up to the highest pinnacle in Heaven, and to the deepest recesses of Hell? Who then is to say, who is rich or poor? &lt;br /&gt;Who then is to say to one, Drink Water, and to another Drink Wine? Who among you is the judge of your fellow brother, who among you is to judge God?  Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor? (Job 30:25)&lt;br /&gt;For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. (Psa 9:18) &lt;br /&gt;God has not forgotten the clay, which He has formed, nor will He continue to allow the poor to remain that way.  But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. (Psa 40:17) Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. (Pro 19:1)   ars.

If you are currently single and lonely, you may care little for learning techniques to boost your self-esteem or to expand your circle of friends.  Your primary concern is how to meet your special soul mate, and soon. You may be wondering if you need to learn different techniques to find and win a mate than those you would use to meet and make friends.  Should you be concentrating your efforts on making friends?  Or should all your social efforts be focused on your search for that special someone? If we have been lonely for a long time, we may dream that our special someone will come along and we will never feel lonely again. We may spend a lot of time imagining what our life will be like once we find this special person.  We are sure that we will have a wonderful closeness with this person.  That we will never disagree.  That all we will ever want to do is to make our partner happy. People who dont like themselves think they will be healed when someone else decides to love them.  The truth is, if we dont love and respect ourselves now, we have a very good chance of settling for a mate who wont love or respect us either. If we havent learned how to get along with the friends we already have and learned to handle being close to them, we wont know how to get along with and be close to someone just because we have married them. Have you put your life on hold while you wait to meet your ideal mate?  Sometimes very lonely people believe their real life wont start until they meet and marry their one true love. This belief is a fallacy.  Your real life is going by right now, whether you are married or not.  A single life is just as real as married life.  An inability to be happy while you are single will most likely continue when you are married. If you have had trouble developing a sense of identity, or self-esteem, or if you have difficulty expressing your needs and standing up for yourself in your single life, this will not automatically change once you are married. Successful long-term relationships are built on the foundation of many interpersonal skills, and these skills are developed through practice. In the course of our relationships with other people we learn many important lessons.  We learn about handling disagreements and disappointments, we learn about balancing independence and closeness, how to handle conflict, and how and when to compromise. These skills are built up in all the many relationships and encounters we have throughout our entire lives, with our relatives, our friends, with acquaintances and strangers. No matter how wonderfully dazzling a romantic relationship is in the first stages of falling in love, sooner or later you will run into situations where you will have to handle some difficult and painful emotional situations with your partner. If you have not been able to successfully employ these personal skills in your friendships, you will find it even more difficult to do it in an emotional relationship where your feelings are far more intense, and the stakes are much higher. There are many valid reasons for continuing to meet new people and make new friends even while you intensely long for a soul mate.  After all, you might meet your soul mate as a result of the friends you already have, or those friends you make in the future.  The person you fall in love with might be the brother or sister, or college room-mate of someone you already know. Even if you do meet your special someone you will continue to need other friends and social outlets.  No matter how happy your relationship is, one person can never meet all of your social needs.

Recent survey by KPMG says that there is a digression in the Industry nature which is facing security threats .Some four years back it was the IT outsourcing industry and retail industry which were most prone to data theft. But now the nature has changed. Most of the frauds uncovered recently have been faced by companies dealing in financial services. Banking/Insurance/mutual funds/AMCs are the first category of company facing threats. The next is NBFCs, Investment Banks, Venture Capitalists, Private Equity.the other categories mentioned in the survey are  Media/Software, Retail/Consumer products, Foods/Beverages, transportation, Power/energy. &lt;br /&gt;The threat perception of these sectors is generally higher mainly on account of the nature of their businesses and high growth rates achieved by these sectors in the last few years. Why are the Organizations threatened by fraud? According to a survey lack of ethical values has been identified as one of the main reasons for frauds in organizations. Some of the other reasons can be enumerated as follows: - dissatisfaction among employees  &lt;br /&gt;- poor internal controls  &lt;br /&gt;- lack of ethical values  &lt;br /&gt;- collusion between vendors and employees  &lt;br /&gt;- inadequate background checks on prospective employees  &lt;br /&gt;management override of control  How were these frauds detected? Majority of these frauds were detected by a company's own internal audit or by a third party. Some of the other ways in which an organization lost its revenue and it came to light has been through: - expense accounts  &lt;br /&gt;- false or incorrect information  &lt;br /&gt;- personal use of official assets  &lt;br /&gt;- forged documents  &lt;br /&gt;- secret commissions / kickbacks  &lt;br /&gt;- cheque forgery  &lt;br /&gt;- forged documents  &lt;br /&gt;- false financial statements  &lt;br /&gt;- IP infringement  What is the attitude of organizations towards frauds? Earlier the trend was that the organizations seemed to be more reactive when these frauds occurred. But over the years there has been a shift in the attitude of organizations towards fraud. Now they are becoming increasingly proactive in their approach. &lt;br /&gt;Most of these companies now have either a code of conduct or an ethics policy in place as a proactive measure to mitigate risk of fraud. How can the frauds risks be mitigated? Most of the companies in India are now undertaking strict steps in ensuring the minimum occurrence of fraud in outsourcing financial services. Some of them are: - Pre- employment background check  &lt;br /&gt;- Regular fraud risks assessment  &lt;br /&gt;- Data analysis tools  &lt;br /&gt;- Fraud management systems  &lt;br /&gt;- Data mining tool  In addition all the individual employees are now being provided with proper systems to inform any kind of fraud threat at the right earnest. Some of them are: - Emails  &lt;br /&gt;- Direct approach  &lt;br /&gt;- Anonymous letter/call  &lt;br /&gt;- Hotlines  &lt;br /&gt;- Grapevine  What is the outcome of the frauds -real as well as perceived? Outsourcing to India, China, Russia, etc is really no different from sending data to what were once called service bureaus or what we now call application service providers. Its been done for years and the onus has always been on the financial services firm to make sure it does its due diligence before choosing a partner. The security threats, these vendors face abroad are the same threats securities firms themselves face when data is housed on site. As a result, strong firewalls and a formal data security strategy must be in place to prevent hacking, viruses or misappropriation of data. The primary concern, we found is that executives dont like the idea of sending their data to a location where their competitors data is also being stored. This is an understandable concern, but again, it is no different from sending your back-office data to ADP, which processes a good deal of Industrys trades, or to Sun Gard for data storage and back-up. The real fear revolves around the mistrust of people and what they might do with the data such as selling it to a competitor. There are certainly unscrupulous people everywhere-and quite a few in the US securities industry. Anyone can steal information or data and sell it to competitors or use it for their own personal advantage. However, its no more or less likely to happen overseas. The concerns around outsourcing security have been exaggerated. This issue revolves more around the anger of losing American jobs, fear of the unknown, and, unfortunately, slight prejudice. How is India fighting back? Recent sting operation in UK done by Channel4 has exposed the seamier side of doing outsourcing business with India. However in India there were mixed reactions. The Indian outsourcing trade body, Nasscom, and some senior company executives in India were worried that the program, and sting operations in past, would damage the countrys reputation as a location with an abundant supply of low-cost, skilled labor that delivers quality service to overseas customers. Nasscom said that it had asked the Channel 4 to provide details of the allegations but that the request had so far been refused. We are concerned about the verifiability of such stories, especially sting operations where monetary inducements were provided, said Kiran Karnik, president of Nasscom. Industry executives in India are suggesting that repeated sting operations are being undertaken against the Indian Industry with the express intention of maligning its reputation. The fear among the Indian companies is that western customers will hesitate to outsource after India is repeatedly projected as an unsafe outsourcing destination. Much to its embarrassment the Industry has been hit lately by a series of security breaches. The industry is scrambling to combat the perception of fraud. Companies have joined in setting up a national skills registry, an online registry for industry workers that would contain information about individual workers professional, educational and personal backgrounds. The information is validated by an independent agency but owned by an individual. So far, 25000 workers have registered for independent checks and biometric identification established earlier this year. Whether real or perceived no Industry can be completely free from fraud. The opportunity of outsourcing financial services to India is tremendous. Next ten years will see an exponential growth in the industry. So dont let a few cases dampen your spirits of utilizing the tremendous power of India as an outsourcing destination. http://www.thomasandalex.com.com Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Ashish_M http://EzineArticles.com/?Financial-Services-Security-Frauds-In-India---A-Threat-Or-Just-A-Myth&amp;id=479709 &lt;a href="http://moodle.mathsnet.net/user/view.php?id=2779&amp;course=1"&gt;cheap phentermine no rx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://coursecentre.econtent.lu/user/view.php?id=2044&amp;course=1"&gt;discount phentermine online&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://apache2.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/moodle/user/view.php?id=974&amp;course=1"&gt;buy cheap phentermine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.watraininginstitute.com.au/minesite/user/view.php?id=68&amp;course=1"&gt;buy phentermine with discover card&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3755706736325329450-1194605743278618621?l=baylessshoeb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3755706736325329450/posts/default/1194605743278618621'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3755706736325329450/posts/default/1194605743278618621'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://baylessshoeb.blogspot.com/2008/02/financial-services-security-frauds-in.html' title='Financial Services Security Frauds In India - A Threat Or Just A Myth'/><author><name>baylessshoeb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11473011047376834255</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755706736325329450.post-4655433215326159044</id><published>2008-02-16T19:04:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-16T19:04:32.626-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Secured Loans Are The Cheapest Loans Available In The Market</title><content type='html'>By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Pranav_Das]Pranav Das In the era of globalisation there is an unprecedented rise in consumerism. The markets around us are flooded with goods. Even the media is playing the role of a catalyst in arousing our hidden desires and wishes. We see an advertisement of some product on the television and we feel like buying it. But, ironically, most of us lack the resources to fulfill all our desires. You may day dream about buying a Ferrari but you dont have money. You may feel like going to Switzerland on your holiday but you are left with a meager amount of money to fund your vacation. You want to buy an LCD home theatre system for your living room but your savings do not allow you to spend so much. You dont need to suppress your desires anymore because you can easily get a secured loan to realize your dreams. A secured loan can be utilised for numerous purposes. You can renovate your house. You can buy household goods. You can finance your higher education. You can use it for your childrens marriage. You can take a secured loan for debt consolidation purposes. There can be uncountable uses of a secured loan. Basically, a [http://www.loans-bazaar.co.uk/index.html target=_blank]secured loan is one that is taken against collateral i.e. usually your house. The lender is guaranteed that in case of non payment of the loan amount he can repossess the property kept as collateral. So the borrowers are at risk when they take a secured loan.&lt;br /&gt;But the benefits of a secured loan are many. Most importantly you have to pay minimum interest rate against your loan if you go for a secured loan. Your monthly installments are small and the repayment duration is long and flexible. You can choose the repayment term according to your suitability. Also, the lenders do not hesitate in granting you a large amount of money as they have some collateral as security. You can also take a secured loan against the equity tied up with your house. Such loans are called home equity loans. But by nature they are a kind of secured loan. So, if you are a house owner or you have any other property to be kept as collateral its high time you should go for a secured loan.

Everyone wants to know how they can loose more weight. Yo- Yo diets come and go all the time, people pop pills, try out patches and or starve themselves for awhile and then just go right on binging again putting on more weight. Crash diets just bring about disappointment as more money is wasted and more weight is put back on. So why is it that so many people are battling with this weight epidemic and why are so many people putting on more and more weight as the years go on? Well this could be a very long and in depth article but we are not going to go into all the nitty gritty as to why this happens, the reasons are so many and we could literally be here for days looking into all the whys and hows of this problem. The thing I think that needs to be remembered is that there are various reasons for being over weight and yes in some cases obese. According to the National Center for Health Statistics in the United States alone 66.3% of all people are overweight or obese. Now that is a staggering statistic. Lets have a quick look at some of the reasons why people battle with weight loss. For so many people it is a constant battle and one they feel they have already lost from the word go. Your quality of life is affected when you are over weight and you really dont feel good about yourself, in fact you feel down right rotten, worthless and just not worth the time of any ones day and so we see how the destructive cycle continues. You comfort eat and just keep putting on more weight leaving you feeling worse about yourself after each and every mouthful. A mouthful that you know you dont really need but you just cant stop yourself. One of the things you certainly do not have control over is if it is a genetic factor that has caused you to put on weight and subsequently battle to loose the weight again. Maybe you have always been bigger than average and due to your bone structure you are just that way. Due to these genes your appetite is affected, the rate at which your body metabolizes food and then of course the fat  muscle ratio and how it is distributed in your body plays against you. Dont get me wrong you may not have control over your DNA make up but you do have control over how you can handle it from here. Knowledge is power and when you are equipped with this power you can make better life style choices. Dont put unrealistic pressure on yourself, it is not worth it and it makes you feel worse when you dont reach these unattainable goals. Accept yourself and realize that you are wonderful just the way you are, and yes you may have to watch what you eat and how much of it you do eat and when you eat coupled with exercise routines but remember to take a break once in awhile, cheat a bit here and there and then get back to watching what you eat. If you do not allow yourself the odd indulgence here and there, you will be completely miserable and just like any strict diet, give up, over indulge and put on more weight. You need to find that balance that makes your body and your taste buds happy. Then we have the Thyroid problem. This is not diagnosed often enough. More often than not the possibility is dismissed or just missed as a possible option. The thyroid gland is what is responsible for regulating the bodies metabolism, energy, hormones and vitamins. It sits at the base of your throat and is stimulated by the pituitary gland to produce the necessary hormones needed to keep the bodies metabolism and energy levels at the noStrermal functioning rate. When you have an under active thyroid you have Hypothyroidism and it tends to affect woman far more than it does men. In this case the thyroid gland does not produce enough of the thyroid hormone and thus it is not effective in regulating the bodys metabolism and use of energy. Some of the signs to look out for are extreme tiredness, weight gain, swelling in the face and in these cases you will find you have particularly puffy eyes. Your hair may be thin, your skin dry and thickened and your menstrual period may be heavier than usual. Constipation and an increased intolerance to cold weather, poor memory, depression and muscle cramps are also signs of probable hypothyroidism. This is normally treated by a daily dose of thyroid hormones; they may be either synthetic or natural hormones to help bring in what your thyroid gland is failing to produce on its own. Stress is also said to cause weight gain. Now before we all sit back and think that another lecture about comfort food is on its way, let us look at why weight gain happens when under stress. I did an article recently on acne and some of the causes or contributing factors to acne and one of the things that came up is cortisol and how it affects the skin. Well cortisol affects ones weight and, in effect, weight loss too. Cortisol is a hormone that is released in ones body when under stress, hence the reason it has been labeled the stress hormone, and it comes about because of the fight or flight reaction that gets released in all of us. With regards to weight it is the reason why your body hangs on to weight the way it does. As already discovered cortisol tends to have many different affects in the body and so one of its functions is to help the body produce blood sugar from proteins. We all know what too much sugar does; it causes fatty deposits in the body. In these instances the fat is generally deposited around the abdomen resulting in the tire belly. The best root to go is to have your cortisol levels tested and leave the treatment of it in the hands of your health practitioner. Even though the role of cortisol in weight gain is under some debate a test showed that women who have higher cortisol levels in their bodys have a greater tendency to eat high fat foods than women whose cortisol levels were lower. I dont think tests are really necessary to prove when women eat more because we all know from personal experiences how and when we indulge ourselves in comfort food. Invariably ones emotional state is not as relaxed and calm as it could be. Some medications cause weight gain, such as birth control pills, steroids and antidepressants. The best thing to do would be to consult your health practitioner and let him/ her alter your medication to suit your bodies needs and prevent you from continuing to gain excess weight. I think the biggest contributing factor to weight gain and why people battle so much to loose the unwanted weight is unfortunately lifestyle. There is regrettably no miracle pill or miracle patch that will just shed away those pounds. We live in a time of convenience and because of this take aways and drive thrus are becoming our usual place to have a meal. It is the norm rather than the exception to the rule. They tempt us at nearly every street corner, they fill us quicker than any health snack and lets face it even though the nutritional value on a scale of one to ten is maybe -1, we dont really care, it tastes good enough and it is easily accessible. Exercise just tends to be too much effort and we dont always have the time for it either. Diets are just a pain in the neck and who knows what we are really doing to our bodies in the long run with all these pills that go with it? Just as food is used to deal with depression, sadness, stress and anxiety it is also used to celebrate and enjoy life. What goes invariably hand in hand when celebrating with food, well alcohol and it is well known that large consumption of alcohol is also responsible for putting on weight around the belly. At the end of the day we go back to the importance of having a healthy body image. Overweight tends to be subjective and we all put these really unrealistic expectations on ourselves (thanks of course to the media and society) of what we should look like. However on the other hand we should take more notice of how much we may weigh for no other reason other than the health issues that are associated with being over weight. A high Cholesterol level, diabetes, heart failure, respiratory problems and so on is all things to look out for that adversely affect your health when you are over weight. Sensitivity to various foods may also cause fluid retention and weight gain so have tests done to see if there are foods that dont react well to your system. Symptoms that will occur shortly after eating that if you are sensitive to that particular food are headaches, indigestion, joint pain, depression, constipation, diarrhea and respiratory problems. As hard as it may be try not to compromise your eating habits, bypass the drive thrus. When feeling stressed as tempting as it may be to hit the food, rather go for a walk or jog to get rid of those feelings of anger and frustration. A punching bag is an unbelievable source of stress release, so maybe look into investing in one of those and go and hit that instead. Exercise is fantastic. I know it is hard to get into exercise but again dont put unrealistic expectations on yourself when you do. The lack of instant results is what puts us off so often. Drink lots of water, throw away the tempting foods and get into a well balanced diet plan that has been made for you specifically by a Dietician or Health Practitioner. Remember that you want to be healthy for yourself and your family and that way you can put your best step forward from the start. Are you too tired of feeling icky and yuky all the time?

This USPS change of 1901 allowed postcard publishers and printers to drop the message "Private Mailing Cards, Authorized by Act of Congress on May 19, 1898".  Writing was still not permitted on the back and a 1 cent stamp was still required to mail a Post Card.  By 1902, the postcard industry was off and running, and so was the hobby of collecting postcards. One popular publisher in the early 1900s was The Albertype Company of Brooklyn, NY.  The company was owned by Herman L. Wittemann and he published postcards from 1890 to 1952.  Wittemann used a photo process invented by Austrian photographer Joseph Albert (1825-1886).  His postcards used a special process.  Photographs would be taken by Wittemanns representatives and he would arrange to use photographs taken by others. Another popular publisher was The Rotograph Postcard Company located in New York City and Chicago.  This company published as many as 60,000 postcards dealing with a variety of subjects ranging from scenic views of towns and cities to real photos. Both The Rotograph Postcard Company and The Albertype Company made postcards during the early "Post Card" period.  As mentioned above writing was not permitted on the backs.  To make their postcards attractive and appealing photographs of towns views were on the front.  A small space usually at the bottom of the photograph was available for a short message.  If you wanted to write a longer message a USPS Postal Card was used. Post Card users loved to send home postcards from far away places they visited or exchange postcards with friends and family.  By 1907 the United States Postal Service began to permit the use of what is now called a "divided back". Glyn Farber has published a catalog of all known Hickey Brother Cigar Store Tokens and co-authored a book about Louisiana Trade Tokens.

Adding a new team member should be an easy transition - thats where organization comes in. Clearly defined processes such as workflow, workspace, filing system, and other key functions in the business should be identified. Structure is one of the most overlooked aspects of business success  especially time management and documentation structures. As the business owner, you have to be disciplined in order to allocate and delegate work to someone else.  If youre not disciplined, focused, and organized - how can you expect for your new team member to function efficiently? Don't forget the most crucial ingredient; you must have something for them to do and it must not interfere with your workflow. If you dont know what tasks you want your new team member to handle, how is he or she going to know how to help you? So how do you get prepared for adding new team members?  Here are some quick tips to get you started: 1.  Begin by planning time to work on your business each week. This time should be focused exclusively on your business without interruption from the phones, the Internet and e-mail, or appointments. You have to be disciplined in order to allocate and delegate work to someone else.  This focused time will keep your business in line with your vision. 2. Identify what you need in the form of a bulleted task list. Detail this task list for each business function, i.e.  marketing, accounting, administrative, operations, management, production, distribution, sales, web site maintenance, etc. 3.  Define the skill sets and personality types that best fit your needs. Don't try to clone yourself; it doesn't work. As part of the outlined tasks, have specific, measurable goals within each business function.  Side Bar:  I remember when I was interviewing for a corporate job years ago, I had to interview with six people in sequence. Each gave me a different description of the job. Although I figured that the manager had the correct job description, I realized that the company had some challenges and I decided not to work there.  Detailing your goals for each business function will ensure you get  the right people on your team. 4.  Do your homework to determine what it  will cost you to add new team members. You may only need a virtual assistant to get started - just do your research to make the best decision.  Start by reviewing your budget for the year.  You could hire someone to work just 30 hours a month at $12 per hour to provide support.  Be creative with your budget and enlist the help of contractors or collaborating with other businesses as an alternative to hiring employees. 5.  Be sure your communication tools (email, phone, mobile, palm) are in place before you incorporate new team members. You want your new team members to use your company's communication tools as they communicate on your behalf to ensure a consistent image. 6.  Once you have team members in place: Communicate  Be sure your team members understand your expectations and understands the steps he or she needs to take to meet these expectations. Be patient and expect to hit some bumps in the road. It takes time to figure out what works and what doesnt work. Flexibility is key during the learning process. I recommend being up front in the interview in order to set the expectations on the front end vs.. waiting until a mistake happens.. Appreciate  As Bill Catlette and Richard Hadden write, Contented Cows Give Better Milk. Your team members will be more motivated if you regularly demonstrate your appreciation of his or her hard work.  2003-2006 Effici, Inc.

It is not very complicated but it is highly effective. Bullet Proof Asset Protection - What is done is an anonymous Panama Bearer Share Corporation is formed. The owner/stockholder of the Corporation is an anonymous Panama Private Interest Foundation. The anonymous Corporation is not owned by you and you can say so, plus the Panama Foundation really has no owner so you are not misrepresenting anything. Of course the Corporation can bank at one bank in Panama and the Foundation at another Panama bank, or they can both bank at the same bank and use the banks online banking to transfer funds from one account to the other without ever needing to send a wire or write a check. The Panama banking system has a Panama only ACH system allowing one to transfer money from one Panama Bank account to another even in a different Panama Bank. This is all done without using the not private international wire system and since it is Panama Bank to Bank, it is all covered by the Panama Bank Secrecy Laws. Also for some asset protection strategies the foundation may not have a bank account at all. Additionally, the Foundation or Corporation may have a stock brokerage account, own real estate in any country, own cars, boats etc. You can donate assets to the Foundation, transfer assets to the Foundation for an annuity, etc. We have formal contracts available on our price page for these arrangements. You could also work for the Foundation as an asset manager, investment manager, real estate manager, or any other relevant position by formal contract reducing your role to that of an employee only. The formal agreement could specify compensation, commissions, expenses, benefits etc. These formal agreements can be secret in that they do not appear in any public registry or database. They could also be notarized, apostilled etc. yet still very much private. Another Protective Layer  The Panama Foundation could decide to not have a bank account just own the shares of the anonymous corporation. You are not the founder of the foundation, we supply the founder. You can elect to not be a beneficiary of the foundation instead use relatives. Some countries may elect to treat a foundation as a trust, so in this case you would not be the beneficiary of the foundation (some governments may view a foundation as a trust). So if you are not the founder of the foundation, not the owner of the foundation and not a beneficiary of the foundation, along with not being the owner of the corporation does that leave you in a favorable position? Now we need to look at protection aspects of this scenario pertaining to you keeping the assets managed correctly. Panama Foundations can have a position held by a person called a Protector. The Protector does not really have true control over the foundation but this position has features that will enable restful sleep at night. The protector can not initiate a transaction on behalf of the foundation. The protector oversees the activities of the foundation to make sure they are consistent with the purposes of the foundation. The protector can approve or disapprove any transaction the foundation undertakes. The employee of the Foundation like the investment manager which could be you operating under a general power of attorney from the Foundation or Corporation would need to have all activities approved by the Foundation Protector. Yes you could be the employee investment manager under formal contract and behind the scenes be the Foundation Protector. The foundation charter can state that for the foundation nominee council members (supplied by us similar to nominee directors of a corporation) to exercise any of their powers they must first have the written authorization of the Foundation Protector, committee or other supervisory entity appointed by the Founder (we are usually the founder and can do as you direct us at onset). The Foundation Protector does not appear in any public records or database. Other Protective Layers  The foundation can have three nominee council members or in place of this a judicial person such as a Corporation. A Panama Anonymous Bearer Share Corporation can be used in place of the three nominee council members. The ownership of this Bearer Share Corporation is based on who has the physical shares of stock which is never recorded in any registry or public database even if sold or transferred. A Panama Bearer Share Corporation can have three nominee directors or in place of this we could lawfully use three other Panama Anonymous Bearer Share Corporations which in turn could each have other corporations in place of nominee directors and one can readily see the trail of confusion that could be created to make pursuit by financial enemies a most difficult, costly and arduous task. Imagine how hard it would be for someone trying to work through this maze of legal structures in Panama with the worlds strongest bank secrecy laws to establish a beneficial owner and don't forget the time it would take which would be years and the expense would be most substantial. Imagine trying to go to court and get orders to pierce all these corporate veils, and mind you this is a most difficult, costly and time consuming process which rarely if ever is successful in Panama. The chances of success for your financial enemies would be minimal at best and the expense would be massive, so the risk versus reward for them would not be a good choice. This can be overkill for some but can certainly be considered to be what is commonly referred to as Bulletproof Asset Protection (but please be advised that bullet proof asset protection is a subjective non-legal term). Now you have an idea of what a law firm that charges $50,000 for asset protection is going to do. The largest purchasers of Panama Corporations and Foundations are Swiss Law Firms. The above scenarios are fairly complex and not simple basic asset protection solutions. The material does require study time. Questions are always welcome. We can custom design a number of asset protection solutions. Do give us a call and discuss your needs and we can offer suggestions.

It's used to help make a protruding stomach a great deal firmer and slimmer.  Basically, the procedure aims to reduce the size of the abdomen, and also to tone it up.  It's not an essential surgery, but is mostly undertaken by people who are unhappy about their body shape and want to improve their shape. Even though tummy tuck surgery may be considered a cosmetic procedure, it's still a major operation and requires a substantial recovery period.  You need to allow at least a few weeks for your body to be reasonably back to normal, and perhaps months before your recovery is complete. Tummy tuck surgery is often recommended for people who have been obese but then lost a great deal of weight, leaving them with excess hanging skin around the abdomen.  This can also be a good remedy for women who've been left with sagging skin and stretch marks after pregnancy. The surgeon removes this excess skin and also any excess fat from the abdominal area.  During the procedure the abdominal walls are also tightened. Because a tummy tuck is major surgery, the patient needs to be in good condition before even considering going ahead.  Although many people assume that a tummy tuck can be used to help an obese person lose weight, in fact a reputable surgeon would advise the obese person to lose that weight by other means, such as diet and exercise, before undergoing a tummy tuck. It's very important to listen to your surgeon if he recommends delaying your surgery so that you can lose weight.  Obesity brings with it the possibility of complications during surgery, including respiratory issues and the risk of developing a blood clot (deep venous thrombosis), and also issues during recovery such as slow healing and infection.   A tummy tuck is also not recommended for a woman who plans to become pregnant.  It's generally a much better idea to have the baby first and then get a tummy tuck. Remember, too, that having a tummy tuck will mean you have an abdominal scar.  This is a major medical procedure, and this type of surgery will inevitably leave scarring.  Naturally a good surgeon will always try to minimize the visibility of scarring, but it's basically impossible to have no scar at all.

Punkerslut:  Do you believe in the Bible? Christian:  Of course I do. Punkerslut:  But do you believe in slavery? Christian:  No, I don't.  That's a silly question. Punkerslut:  There are various parts of the Bible which affirm slavery to be a just method, though.  Exodus 21:20-21 justifies it. Christian:  Well, that was the Old Testament. Punkerslut:  Ephesians 6:5 of the New Testament also justifies it. Christian:  The slavery in the Bible was different than the slavery of the Bible. Punkerslut:  Why did the southerners use the Bible to justify it, then? Christian:  They didn't really understand the Bible.  They interpretted it incorrectly. Punkerslut:  So, for the past two thousand years, nobody was a real Christian, because they didn't understand the Bible, and therefore couldn't believe it.  But for the past few decades, it was only then that the Bible was really understood? Christian:  You don't have to understand the Bible to believe it. Punkerslut:  You don't? Christian:  No...  You just have to believe it. Punkerslut:  When you don't understand something, it means that there are parts which you may think contradict each other, or possibly they don't properly fit together, or maybe you read or heard something when in fact the opposite is what is implied.  For instance, if someone said, "My answer is yes and my answer is no," you may be confused, because you were given a contradictory answer -- but perhaps they meant a yes to one question and a no to another question.  If someone said, "Because the knife was in Joe's locker, it means that Jacob was the murderer."  You may not understand, until you find out that Jacob was the only one with access to Joe's locker, and Joe was out of town for weeks.  If someone said, "There is one statement I hate more than anything: 'Slavery is right!'" and you walked in only while he said, "Slavery is right!" you may also be confused.  In all of these instances, you didn't understand. Christian:  But you believed, and that's what counts with Christianity. Punkerslut:  Precisely.  If someone said something that confused you, wouldn't you want to apply reason to it and try to understand? Christian:  Yes, of course. Punkerslut:  So, you agree then that Christianity can only thrive, and has only thrived, because people have placed less importance upon reasoning and logic, particularly in religious matters? Christian:  I didn't say that. Punkerslut:  You said that in Christianity, you need not understand and that must only believe.  You said that every Christian up to 50 years ago didn't understand the Bible since slavery and prejudice have been prevalent until then.  And you said that if you don't understand, attempting to comprehend is reasonable. Christian:  So? Punkerslut:  Christians accepted what they didn't understand.  Reason would ask them to investigate what they didn't understand, but they ignored reason, even insulted and criminalized it.  As the Christians moved from the position of being eaten by lions to being the ones who tortured others, the only way that a person could become a Christian was by belief -- and belief in something so contradictory must be accompanied by an abhorance of reason, correct? Christian:  You're twisting my words. Punkerslut:  No, I was actually quite simple and precise in showing you how I went from one step of my argument to the next. Christian:  Well, whatever...  Even so, reason cannot save you, only Christ can. Punkerslut:  You're just restating your original opinion.  What is the method by which we decipher truth from falsity?  Reason.  If reason indicted Christianity for hypocrisy and contradiction, it's not trying to save you, exactly, but tell you that Christianity cannot do that either.  But then again, the idea that you need to be saved is also a Christian idea. Christian:  I don't believe that. Punkerslut:  What part? Christian:  All of it. Punkerslut:  Could you be more specific? Christian:  Everything you say. Punkerslut:  Yes, that part was clear when you said "all of it." www.punkerslut.com For Life, &lt;br /&gt;Punkerslut Punkerslut (or Andy Carloff) has been writing essays and poetry on social issues which have caught his attention for several years.

Will Rogers said, Even if you are on the right track, youll get run over if you just sit there. And this quote really is a great fit to reinforce the message I want to send with this article. The beginning of a new year in business is a great time to look at your marketing efforts and develop an honest assessment of what has worked well and what is not working.  And if you have just completed a very successful year or lets say a record-breaking year, Congratulations!  But, I refer you back to Will Rogers quote in the beginning of this article and remind you that in spite of your success in the past, you cannot just sit there or stand there and be complacent for the year ahead.  And by the way  if you did not have a good year last year, the same advice applies.  In essence, it means you better start planning and implementing more strategic marketing planning efforts. What can you do to avoid just sitting or standing there with your marketing efforts?  Your strategic thinking business coach offers a list of eight (8) suggested actions to avoid the trap of being complacent in your marketing efforts. 1.  Review the failed marketing efforts and identify the opportunities that exist in new marketing efforts to replace the failed ones. 2.  Create an environment that rewards openness in identifying problems within your marketing efforts. 3.  Seek advice internally and externally from your team and from an outside professional, such as a business coach. 4.  Set clear and higher measurable goals for your prospecting and conversions rates as a result of your marketing efforts. 5.  Commit to a policy of continuous improvement in your marketing strategies and efforts. 6.  Pay special attention to listening and hearing your prospects so you will understand what they want. 7.  Commit to experiment with new marketing strategies and ideas to continually identify better marketing solutions. 8.  Develop and implement a strategic marketing plan based upon the above actions. J.

But fossil hunters BEWARE! Those cuts hold something more: varmints that will hang on to your skin long after youve taken your fossil treasures home. A Lesson Learned &lt;br /&gt;Were new at this fossil hunting thing. Oh, we found our share of relics when we were kids and young adults, but as bona fide rock hounds, we are novices.  We learned the varmint lesson the hard way this summer. The Danger Sign &lt;br /&gt;On a tip from a friend on a great place to find crinoids, we excitedly scrambled over a road cut in southern Indiana, paying no heed to the telltale signs that should have made us take care. In the excitement of fossil collecting, we ignored the water that was seeping from the cut...never thinking that the plants were anything more than a mild impediment to our rock hounding. Something Found Us &lt;br /&gt;By the next morning, our armpits and waists were dotted with quarter-inch red bumps. Surprisingly, the chiggers hadnt cared much for our ankles! My husband, who grew up in the west, had never experienced the intense itching of those little critters. Days after we arrived home and still itching, he scoured the internet for preventions and cures. Oh, Now I Remember &lt;br /&gt;I should have known better. I grew up in southern Ohio; chiggers were part of everyday summer life. I also should have thought about the poison ivy that was lurking there. Be the third day after we arrived home, my entire face was swollen and redand the itching was nearly unbearable. The poison seemed to spread for weeks. It was a full 2 months before the last of the nasty red patches were gone. Better Safe Than Sorry &lt;br /&gt;So when fossil collecting take heed! Cover your body COMPLETELY when you go out in the field. Along with your rock hammer, carry some powdered sulphur to rub around your ankles, waist, wrists and armpits. My mother never went out to the garden without first dowsing herself in that natural chigger-repellent. Make sure you have access to a hot shower and use special cleansers for removing the urushiol (poison ivy sap or oil) that causes the watery blisters. A little consciousness about the plants and animals that shared the road cut would have made our excursionor the return from it, a whole lot more enjoyable! A Lasting Memory &lt;br /&gt;We did find lots of crinoid fossils, but they were not what we remember most about this fossil collecting trip!

With correct maintenance, you can prolong the life of any type of outdoor furniture and get the most value for your money. Read on to find out how. Go easy on the cleaning solution. Most outdoor garden furniture, especially made of vinyl, cannot stand harsh solutions like chlorine, bleach, and solvents. You may think that you are cleaning your furniture with these chemicals, but truth is, you are just accelerating staining and fading. Use cleaning solutions often enough and your outdoor furniture will lose color in no time. Instead, use plain water for vinyl outdoor furniture. Commercial patio furniture can be easily cleaned with plain water and a pressure washer set low. You can also use mild detergents with mild disinfectants, but make sure that they do not have chlorine or other harsh cleaning solutions in them. If you do not have a pressurized cleaner, use a soft brush as an alternative. Try dipping the brush in a solution of warm water and mild soap, and then gently clean the furniture in even strokes. Do this twice a week if you use the furniture often. Use special wood cleaners for hardwood outdoor furniture. They will keep the surfaces clean and dust-resistant, and at the same time make the furniture stronger. This is especially true for woods, which need oils to protect their pores and keep them looking new. Avoid stains by keeping your furniture away from harmful elements. The culprits include unfiltered well water (which can come from sprinkler systems), pods and tropical tree barks, and tannic acid. Ground water contains harmful sulfur, oxides and iron that cause major stains on outdoor furniture exposed to them for a long time. Pods and tree elements leave unsightly and difficult-to-remove stains, and so do tannic acids that are present in common backyard trees (such as oak).

That's OK, you need to have days like this, otherwise how would&lt;br /&gt;you know when you are happy. You need to have something to&lt;br /&gt;contrast your happiness with. What is black without white? Even though you know that sadness is a part of life, let's try to&lt;br /&gt;make it a small part of life. With that said, Here are a few tips to help you feel better when&lt;br /&gt;you are feeling down in the dumps. They are easy to do, easy to&lt;br /&gt;practice every day and they work! 1. Stand up straight, sit up straight. When your body is in&lt;br /&gt;alignment your energy can flow and when your energy is flowing&lt;br /&gt;freely, you can flow. 2. Smile! Yes, just smile. Easy to do and effective. 3. Repeat positive affirmations. Things like "I feel good",&lt;br /&gt;"Positive energy flows through my body", "I see the good in&lt;br /&gt;all". 4. Listen to some music that you like. It doesn't have to be&lt;br /&gt;anything specific, just something you enjoy. Certain types of&lt;br /&gt;music work better than others, but experiment and see what works&lt;br /&gt;for you. Studies have shown that Classical music and new age&lt;br /&gt;music work best. 5. Take some time out for yourself, relax and read a book, do&lt;br /&gt;something for yourself. 6. Meditate. Meditation is an excellent habit to develop. It&lt;br /&gt;will serve you in all that you do. If you are one who has a hard&lt;br /&gt;time sitting still, then try some special meditation CDs that&lt;br /&gt;coax your brain into the meditative state. Just search for&lt;br /&gt;"Meditation music" on Google or Yahoo and explore. Our outside work is simply a reflection of our inside world. &lt;br /&gt;Remember there is no reality just your perception of it. Use&lt;br /&gt;this truth to your advantage. Whenever you are sad, realize that&lt;br /&gt;it is all in your mind and you do have the power to change your&lt;br /&gt;perception. These tips will lift you up when you are down, but don't just use&lt;br /&gt;them when you are sad. Try and practice them everyday, make them&lt;br /&gt;a habit. You will be surprised at how these simple exercises&lt;br /&gt;will keep the rainy days away. On a final note, if you are in a deep depression that you can't&lt;br /&gt;seem to shake, please go see a doctor. This is your life and&lt;br /&gt;don't take any chances.

The vast majority of small businesses will rely on their communities for sales. It is in your best interest to get to know everything you can about your community, or the people who will use yor business. Please don't spend advertising dollars on people who don't want or need your products/services. First, find out who are your potential consumers. Find out by answering the following questions: * Are most of them female? * Are most of them male? * Are they an even mix of male &amp; female? * What is their average income bracket? * Where would these consumers generally congregate? * What are their interests? * What is the average size? * What is their average age? * What type of work do they do? * Do they live in apartments, houses or rural areas? * What is the average family size? * Which radio stations would they most likely listen to? Answering these questions will enable you to define the physical limitations of your business and build a profile of your average consumer. Some of the most successful businesses know exactly who they are catering to. With the answers to the above questions, you can formulate marketing  strategies aimed specifically at those consumers. Break it down into the types of people who live there, you will be able to make informed marketing decisions. Finding out the income levels of your average consumer is vital. Don't waste your time trying to sell expensive items to low-income consumers. Study, study, study your consumers habits.

And why not? It is not uncommon to see the best looking females and the most well groomed males walk off with the best jobs if adequately qualified too. And if this is so important that it even helps enhance one's own image about oneself, a small amount of money must not desist you from going ahead with a surgery to look better  not even if you do not have a good credit history. Looking at this strong upsurge in the cosmetic surgery industry  around 10% year over year, doctors started developing the concept of global fee - an all inclusive fee paid for all (or most )  of what is required to perform a particular cosmetic surgery procedure. This would mostly contain the cost of medication, operation, hospitalization, post-operative accessories and post-operative care. And with this was the advent of cosmetic surgery loans as the option to cover the entire cost and pay it off in simple installments. The credit history of the borrower is important in this regard. With a good credit record, it is possible to find loans with interest rates up to 10% but with a poor credit record, the amount can be as high as up to 14 or 24%. Still, this should not stop someone from going ahead with the surgery  and timely repayment would also enhance the credit record and the interest on the loan. Let us have a look at what constitutes a bad credit record. The most prominent reason is slipping on payments. This worsens the credit records of an individual. But the credit record would also be bad if there is no credit history at all. If there has been no loans taken, there are no credit records and when one goes to a lender's doorsteps, the rates charged are higher. This should not stop the individual from undergoing cosmetic surgery or taking a loan for that. What needs to be understood is that not taking a loan would not better the credit records. The only way out is to take the loan and then make timely repayments. This would increase the credit scores and the next time when a loan is required, it is available at a lesser interest rate. Before going ahead with a cosmetic surgery loan when in bad credit, one must be picky about the interest rate on offer and must investigate and choose the best in the market. Just because an individual does not have a credit record or has defaulted a couple of times does not mean accepting any rate that is offered. There are lenders who allow one to choose the person or hospital where the surgery would be performed. If such an option is available, it is best to choose one. To get the surgery done from a known person also is comforting, and one can be more sure of the exact expense requirements. Financial planning is a must also taking into account the regular repayments to be made. This is also enhance your credit history as a borrower and make future loans cheaper. Cosmetic surgery loans are available for amounts up to 25,000 or slightly more even for the unemployed. The period of these loans may vary from 2 to 5 years. It is usually possible to obtain one with no pre-payment penalty and one should look at these points in detail while signing on for a cosmetic surgery loan.

Identity was surrounded by the whole person, and hiding from public view simply wasnt an issue. Public images were for political figure heads and the rest of common business leaders just didnt really make a difference.. Does it? A business associate, partner, or colleague should reveal authenticity and touchable reality. An out of reach professional image wont do them any good, and it wont accomplish any of your goals. An associate who promotes him or herself as perfect wont work for most businesses because we dont live in a perfect world. The symbolism doesnt appeal to anyone who works in todays professional circles. An associate who has some dirt on their hands, knows how to shovel some snow, change a tire, and manage the whole business, including the down in the dirt stuff isnt pretty, polished, and perfect, but they can get a lot done during the day. Work-at-home parents have children. When you call a home based business, kids may answer the phone. They will answer the phone like kids do, even though they know its a business phone and not all my clients realize you work from home. They may even use their favorite phone voice and say, Morris Mortuary you stab em we slab em. Whos your carcass today? If they do, youre welcome to embarrass the hair right off their heads. Just dont forget what you called about. It is business, after all. Dress for success. No matter what the job, theres a definite dress code. From early morning until night, todays professionals often fill many shoes, therefore when youre not sure what the day holds, dress for the weather and worst possible situation. You wont feel comfortable or accomplish anything if youre dressed for a summer board meeting, changing a tire you blew on an icy street driving to a meeting. Changing tires, scooping snow, and mowing the lawn are all often part of a work-at-home business persons day, so the working uniform most likely includes jeans and a sweatshirt in the winter or a tee-shirt in the spring. The code includes comfort, mobility, and durability. Be yourself. No matter where you work, the most important part of your identity is to be yourself. Just like a counterfeit $20, a person who is trying to be someone they are not sends up red flags in every court. Authenticity may not be verifiable in the early stages of doing business with a person, but before long any polish, white wash, and flair will begin to wear off and your dirty old mug will be shining through. When in doubt Just be you. Your business identity says who you are, all the time. If it isnt real, you wont be accepted, admired, or thought of as real either. Perception counts, be authentic or be nothing at all. Jan Verhoeff is a writer, a copywriter, and a marketer.

Both wedding bands and engagement rings are very special items of jewellery; in fact, they are more than just jewellery - they are the symbols of many emotions and promises such as: Love Commitment Fidelity Eternity Honour&lt;br /&gt; But where - and why - did these popular and sentimental pieces of jewellery stem from? The History Of Wedding Bands These items of jewellery have a history that spans many centuries and passes through many countries from all around the planet. Below, you will find a brief history of the wedding and engagement ring, as reported from country to country. EGYPTIANS The now-famous wedding band is thought to have originated in Ancient Egypt, where it is said that plant sections were fashioned in to circles to signify never-ending and immortal love. It was thought that the fourth finger (which we now know as the ring finger) contained a special vein that was connected directly to the heart, and therefore this became the official finger for the wedding band. ROMANS The Romans also agreed with the Egyptians with regards to the wedding ring finger and its meaning, but rather than offering wedding bands as a symbol of love, they awarded them as a symbol of ownership. Roman men would "claim" their woman with the giving of a ring. ASIANS / ARABS Puzzle rings were a complex type of jewellery that were once popular in Asia, and these jewels had the charming knack of being able to fall apart and put back together again - if you knew how to do this, of course. Wealthy Middle Eastern men then began to use these rings as wedding bands for their wives, who were often forced to wear a puzzle ring when their husband was away. The husband would know upon his return whether any of his wives had been disloyal by removing the ring whilst he was away, because the ring was designed to collapse upon removal and could only be put together again if you had the skill and knowledge required. EUROPEANS Several centuries ago, the Europeans became rather taken with what we would class as an engagement ring, but was then called a Poesy Ring. This ring was given to a loved one as a form of promise, and signified fidelity and love. The Poesy Ring was offered as a pledge of eternal togetherness, much as today's engagement rings are offered as a promise of eternal marriage. AMERICANS During Colonial times, all items of jewellery in America were prohibited due to their apparent moral worthlessness. Instead, a more practical thimble was given as a token of love and as a pledge of eternal togetherness. However, after they were married, the women tended to remove the bottom of their "engagement thimble" to form a type of ring. History Of Engagement Rings The engagement ring of today also has its own varied and interesting history, some of which is explored below. Engagement rings have been known by many different names, have symbolised a variety of different things and have not always been made of precious metals and stunning gems! GREEKS The ancient Greeks are thought to have been the forerunners in the rising of the traditional engagement ring. Given as a token of care and affection, the rings used by the Greeks were known as betrothal rings and were given before marriage. However, the giving of these rings was not always a pre-requisite to marriage and was often given in the same way as a friendship ring might be given today. ROMANS As seen by their use of the wedding ring, ancient Romans weren't the most sentimental of people, and the early version of their "engagement ring" were thought to have carved keys on them. It has been debated that this could have been to symbolise the woman's right to access and own half of everything following marriage. However, the more sentimental like to think that the key may have been a key to her husband's heart. ROYALTY AND THE AFFLUENT Engagement rings as we know them today - stunning gems encased in precious metals - became popular in around the fourteenth or fifteenth century, when the affluent and the royals began to exchange and wear these jewels. However, these items were so expensive that nobody other than the royals and the rich could afford to exchange them. It was to be many centuries before these engagement rings would become more popular or traditional. Why a ring? The purpose of engagement rings and wedding bands is to convey deep emotions of eternal love, eternal happiness, eternal commitment, and eternal togetherness. In fact, these rings signify eternity - between the giver and the recipient. A ring, of course, is a complete circle with no break and no end or beginning, which means that it just goes on and on - it is eternal. And, since folklore has it that the fourth finger of the left hand has a vein leading directly to the heart, it is only natural that both engagement and wedding rings would be worn on this particular finger, which was once reputed to be a direct route to the heart. Summary In short, it is clear that the giving of a ring in honour of a union, betrothal, and marriage has been going on since ancient times, and although it may not always have been as glamorous and romantic as it is today, it was still a way of exchanging a contract of betrothal or marriage. Thankfully, today's wedding bands and engagement rings are not made of hair, grass, plants or twine as they may have been in ancient times, but of beautiful metals set with stunning gems, such as platinum, titanium, white gold, gold, sapphires, diamonds, rubies and emeralds. These incredible items of jewellery are likely to remain as popular as ever as the centuries go by, and even as the rest of the world advances in to a futuristic and technological age, it's hard to imagine a day where a beautiful diamond engagement ring doesn't melt the heart of its recipient.

This is due to the fact that the benefits of secured loans can also be obtained by homeowners when applying for unsecured loans. Unsecured Loans are not that Risky Lenders that deal with unsecured loans do not have the right to collect money directly from the enforced sell of a borrowers asset. However the lender still holds the ability to pursue legal actions against the borrower in order to recover his money. That being said, applicants must understand that unsecured loans do not offer the possibility to be left unpaid. &lt;br /&gt;The sum offered in unsecured loans is lower compared to the amount of money you can get from secured loans. Usually this kind of loans is used for going on vacation, buying furniture, paying off bills and other debts, etc. In order to get an unsecured personal loan, applicant ought to have a good credit history. This is due to the fact that there is a high risk involved in this kind of transactions for the lender and since there is no asset guaranteeing the loan. The borrowers personal credit will be the guarantee. What if I have Bad Credit If someone with bad credit wants to apply for an unsecured loan, he should get help from a mediator that will be able to assist in the filling of the application and the prior correction of some credit problems that are drawbacks at the time of applying. Repayment can take between 1 and 25 years, depending on the loan amount. You need to shop around and see what your options are. Usually applicants benefit from certain flexibility on the system of repayment, you should choose the scheme that best suits your needs and that which wont turn into an unbearable burden in the future. When applying for any kind of loan, and particularly for unsecured loans, you should pay special attention to the APR. Since the interest rate is usually higher in unsecured loans, you should compare what the lenders have to offer and try to find the lender that offers the lowest rate. Where to search You must research till you can find a good deal. The best alternative is to use the resources that internet provides. Youll find many online companies offering access to a wide variety of lenders dealing with unsecured loans. Concentrate on the APR, costs and fees to see if the loans are too expensive or not and watch the repayment plan and monthly installments to see if the loan suits your needs.

Applying for a quick payday loan online will &lt;br /&gt;provide you with the necessary funds to handle a crisis. Getting quick cash &lt;br /&gt;has never been easier. Moreover, online cash advance companies offer &lt;br /&gt;privacy and convenience. There are several advantages to getting a quick &lt;br /&gt;personal loan. Here are a few tips to help you understand how cash &lt;br /&gt;advance loans work. Why Get a Cash Advance Loan? Payday loans are used for a variety of purposes. Essentially, those &lt;br /&gt;applying for a loan are financially strapped, and need extra money until &lt;br /&gt;payday. Unexpected expenses will arise regardless of income. Although &lt;br /&gt;some people attach a negative stigma to cash advances, these loans are &lt;br /&gt;useful and a sensible solution to short-term cash problems. Cash advances can be used to pay a utility bill, medical bill, car &lt;br /&gt;repair, etc. Typical loan amounts vary. On average, cash advance loans are &lt;br /&gt;up to $500. Because short-term loans are due within two weeks, &lt;br /&gt;borrowing a small sum is wise. If a loan applicant needs a bigger loan, there &lt;br /&gt;are loan companies willing to approve personal loans up to $1500. How Do Online Cash Advance Lenders Work? Online cash advance loan companies offer instant approvals and funds &lt;br /&gt;within an hour. Upon completing your loan application, and faxing &lt;br /&gt;documents to confirm stated information, the loan company will send an &lt;br /&gt;approval notification through email. Within a few hours, the funds are &lt;br /&gt;automatically deposited into your checking account. If your loan approval &lt;br /&gt;occurs on the weekend, the funds are deposited on the next business day. Before accepting a loan, applicants must carefully read the loan &lt;br /&gt;application. Each state requires payday loan companies to include fees on the &lt;br /&gt;loan application. For every $100 borrowed, applicants can expect to pay &lt;br /&gt;$15 to $30. The loan amount plus fees must be paid in full within two &lt;br /&gt;weeks. If you apply for a 30-day loan, fees are doubled. You have the &lt;br /&gt;option of repaying the loan before the due date. If not, the loan company &lt;br /&gt;will deduct the funds from your checking or savings account on the due &lt;br /&gt;date. It is important to repay a cash advance loan on time. Penalties include &lt;br /&gt;additional interest, plus late fees. If you are unable to repay the &lt;br /&gt;loan, contact the loan company and extend the cash advance term.

Fire! Aim! Don't do it. Do your company research FIRST. What happens in the real job search world is that most job searchers in&lt;br /&gt;the interest of generating a lot of search "activity" will throw a lot&lt;br /&gt;of resumes against the wall and see what sticks. Knowing that job&lt;br /&gt;search is a numbers game, the thinking is that a certain percentage&lt;br /&gt;will fall your way, so why not stack the deck up front and follow up&lt;br /&gt;with those that "stick"? Here are two big problems with that thinking: 1. Having not done the basic research beforehand, should a call come&lt;br /&gt;through for an initial phone screen, you are caught dead in the water&lt;br /&gt;if you don't even have any basic knowledge about either the company or&lt;br /&gt;the job opportunity. Not only do you look foolish, you're now toast.&lt;br /&gt;You've just been ruled out of contention after a 5-minute phone call&lt;br /&gt;and your resume has just been thrown on the reject pile as the&lt;br /&gt;interviewer moves on to the next candidate to call. 2. Your resume is an application for working at this company. If you&lt;br /&gt;haven't put any forethought into the reality of this possibility, when&lt;br /&gt;are you planning to do so? Waiting until after you have interviewed for&lt;br /&gt;this position could put you in a more emotionally vulnerable state.&lt;br /&gt;Feeling more desperate to make some change now, you tend to overlook&lt;br /&gt;certain negatives that creep up once you get caught up in the&lt;br /&gt;excitement of the interview process and the possibilities of change.&lt;br /&gt;Here's an example from my own career: Many years ago I was working for&lt;br /&gt;a large pharmaceutical company and desired a change to a more dynamic&lt;br /&gt;company. After a few months of being "available", I had an opportunity&lt;br /&gt;to work for a company I knew little about. I interviewed and let myself&lt;br /&gt;get caught up in the excitement and ignored the nagging doubts that&lt;br /&gt;told me the job responsibilities were not right. I accepted the job&lt;br /&gt;offer, and spent most of the next 11 months hating my new job. It was a&lt;br /&gt;great company, just a bad fit with my personality. I knew this AFTER I&lt;br /&gt;started interviewing, but I found it hard to say no. If I had done my&lt;br /&gt;research ahead of time, I never would have considered this opportunity. Lesson: Research BEFORE you leap when you're calm and rational and can&lt;br /&gt;focus your time and energy on those specific companies and&lt;br /&gt;opportunities where you'll feel more of a fit. You should answer these basic questions: How large is the company? What products/services do they offer? Who are their competitors? Where do they rank in their market? What is their financial situation? The advantages of knowing this information up front puts you in a power&lt;br /&gt;position when you DO receive a call from an employer. You're now in a&lt;br /&gt;position to talk intelligently about the company, their opportunity,&lt;br /&gt;their products, and use this information to generate a knowledgeable&lt;br /&gt;conversation with your caller. This signifies interest and gets you to&lt;br /&gt;the next stage: a more in-depth phone screen or a face-to-face&lt;br /&gt;interview. Here are some resources to get this information: Corporate Websites (see also their Press Release section). Hoovers, Thomasnet. The Reference Section of your local public library. Standard &amp; Poors. The Business Journal, local trade or business papers (see your&lt;br /&gt;library). Talk with people (social software, network). Be current on a company before you even send your resume. Find out&lt;br /&gt;earlier rather than later whether you would actually like to work for a&lt;br /&gt;particular company. It can make all the difference if you do the&lt;br /&gt;legwork up front rather than leaving it to chance late in the interview&lt;br /&gt;stage.

It can be hard to choose between them if you don't have enough information. You can get some advice from your wireless service provider. You can also look up information on cell phone antennas online, through search engines and other resources. Your available choices include cell phone signal booster antennas, large antennas, and a whole range of products in between. Cell phone antennas or cell phone boosters can boost the reception of your wireless phone. This makes for fewer dropped calls and less static in your calls.  When using the phone in an elevator or tunnel, the booster can be the difference between having a clear, audible phone call and a dropped or staticky one.  Cell phone boosters are available for home use as well. There's a wide variety of products available, and some are better than others. Cell phone antennas function because they're tuned to a specific frequency. However, this frequency doesn't reach all homes equally. Some people's houses may be badly located, so a booster can help you to get a good signal. Cell phone antenna boosters are easy for anyone to use. They work by enchancing the signals going into and coming out of your phone. This results in a clearer call and better reception in places where the signal is usually poor. Dual and tri band cell phone antenna boosters are available for home use, both 800 and 900 MHz, and in analog and digital formats. Many people keep their land lines, despite not wanting to have one, because their cell phone won't work well in their house. Because of this unreliability, they acquire monthly land line costs in addition to their cellular bill. A booster could solve these problems and reduce their expenses. If you do decide to get a cell phone antenna booster to use in your home, you'll be able to use your phone inside, instead of making calls on the porch or in the yard. Some boosters are available in very affordable ranges - under ten dollars! Many of the cheapest kind don't work very well, but the midrange cell phone boosters are affordable and reliable. Those with special needs might decide to spring for the high-end models, which can run up to several hundred dollars. A few dollars could save you hundreds over the course of a few years, just by not having to maintain a land line. A cell phone antenna booster also prevents you from dropping calls, having to listen to the crackle and pop of static, and missing vital business calls. Investing in a cell phone booster antenna could really make the difference in the quality of your calls. Tomaz loves and researches modern technology information and gadgets.

Over recent years, the number of mesothelioma cases coming to light has risen quite dramatically, and in line with this, the number of mesothelioma lawsuits being filed has also increased. Because mesothelioma lawsuits have become such big business, many law firms and lawyers now specialize in this area, making it easier for those affected by this disease to get the legal assistance they need to file a mesothelioma lawsuit. The first thing to remember about filing a mesothelioma lawsuit is that you have to act quickly. Each state operates within a statute of limitation, which means that those affected by this disease have a certain time within which to act. These statutes of limitation apply to both affected parties and to relations that may be filing a mesothelioma lawsuit in the event that the affected party has already passed away. The faster you act with regards to getting legal assistance the better. Filing your mesothelioma lawsuit as early as possible could make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful compensation claim. Many people worry about the cost of filing a mesothelioma lawsuit, but the majority of mesothelioma lawyers and law firms now operate on a contingency fee basis. This means that clients do not have to pay any money up front, and the lawyer takes his fee from any compensation awarded as a result of the mesothelioma lawsuit. If no compensation is awarded, then you do not have to pay any fees for the legal action that has been taken. An experienced mesothelioma lawyer will be able to offer advice on the likely success of your mesothelioma lawsuit based upon your own individual circumstances. Although it is impossible to predict how much will be awarded as part of the mesothelioma lawsuit, an experienced lawyer will be able to draw on experience from past cases to give you an idea of how much you might get. The compensation received as a result of filing a mesothelioma lawsuit is designed to cover a range of costs. Compensation often runs into six figures for claimants, and this is to cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, and also to secure a financially stable future for their families. Although the exact compensation awarded can vary from one lawsuit to another, a mesothelioma lawyer will aim to get as much compensation as possible for an affected client. Taking early action when filing a mesothelioma lawsuit could really benefit you, and will enable your mesothelioma lawyer to collate all the necessary facts and information in order to put together a watertight case. This can make a big difference to the success of your mesothelioma lawsuit, and acting quickly will help to ensure that your case is actioned within the time limitations set by the state. Although thinking about legal action can be difficult when you have been diagnosed with a cancer such as mesothelioma, it is important to seek legal assistance as soon as possible following diagnosis. This is to ensure that you and your loved ones stand as high a chance as possible of getting the compensation to which you are entitled.

But will your guests  will you  remember those things several weeks later? As disappointing as this may seem, that's not what people will be talking about even the day after.

That's what people will talk about for months afterwards. Why? Because they will have been touched. They will have been moved by the depth of your heartfelt commitment, your vulnerable, emotionally sweet connection. So, what feels right for you? What will express your special love, publicly demonstrating the real romance you share? ** Perhaps you'd like to write secret love letters to each other and read them during your ceremony. ** You might want to share some of your favorite memories of each other from the early weeks of your budding love. ** Your vows could include a few reasons why you love each other. When you express your unique one-of-a-kind love in front of those who've come to witness your transformation into a new life, it reinforces their certainty that you know what you are doing, and you are ready for marriage. That's the kind of teary-eyed joy your guests want to feel about you and your future together. And those are the kinds of treasured memories you and your guests will talk about for years to come.

This has allowed the prescription drug buyer to save hundreds with the click of a mouse. Generics really slash the prices on prescription drugs and medications because they do not carry brand names but they are essentially the same drug.As the cost of prescription drugs and medications continue to soar, more and more Americans are choosing Generic Pharmacies to maintain their quality of life. Buying prescription drugs and medications through Generic Pharmacies is a true alternative to paying the high medication prices that a bricks and mortar  pharmacy would charge. What are Generic Drugs? A generic pharmaceutical drug is identical  to a brand name drug in  safety, strength and quality. Even though generics  are  identical to brand name  drugs, they are typically sold at substantial discounts from the branded price.Typically savings of atleast 50 to 70 per cent can be saved for the average consumer It has been estimated that  generic drugs save consumers an estimated $8 to $10 billion a year at retail pharmacies. Even more  when hospitals use generics. Are Generic Drugs Safe One of the most common concerns about purchasing Generic Drugs from online  pharmacies is the safety of the drugs, and the safety of the patients ordering them.In most cases, generic drugs are considered safe due to the testing process used by the Food and Drug Administration and must meet or exceed all strict quality control standards, in compliance with WHO international guidelines. If brand-name drugs and generic drugs have the same active ingredients, why do they look different? Trademark laws do not allow a generic drug to look  like the brand-name drug. However, a generic drug must duplicate the active ingredient. Colors, flavors, and certain other inactive ingredients may be different. Does every brand-name drug have a generic counterpart? No. Brand-name drugs are generally given patent protection for 20 years from the date of submission of the patent. Are generic drugs as strong as brand-name drugs? Yes. FDA requires generic drugs to have the same quality as brand-name drugs. Do generic drugs take longer to work in the body? No. Generic drugs are basically  the same in  quality, strength, purity as brand-name drugs. More and more people each day are taking advantage of the savings that Generic Pharmacies offer. Purchasing your prescription drugs and medications from Generic Pharmacies or internet pharmacies has never been easier. Submitted by Mr Andy Casasanta.

Internet has given a phenomenal reach to people across the world. The speed of communication has beat limits of any technological change that has come about earlier. It has brought about a paradigm into picture that has changed the lives of millions all across. Internet: New Meeting Place The interactive Internet has brought about a change in how people think, thanks to huge transmission of information that is taking place. The Net has undoubtedly become a meeting ground for the people. The messaging is electric fast, far removed from the painfully slow snail mail, and it comes packed with anonymity if one wants so. The wonders of Internet has transferred the social lives of people and consequently relationship building process what we call dating or in terms of being online on www it is called online dating. All benefits of Internet automatically transfer down to this match dating process or Internet dating. Along with benefits come loads of issues pertaining to one's safety and security Vis a Vis the option of anonymous existence that the Net offers to its users. Coming straight to the point there may be a devil lurking in the adult photo personals ads that you would seek on dating site to make a match on Net. The profiles can be anonymously added to the online personals, as is the norm in order not to disclose your identity in the first instance to all members. However, one aspect should be clear after you have judged on the surface the true nature of your prospective date you should disclose him or her, your identity whence you decide to meet, or earlier, if sufficient confidence building has taken place. A relationship is in offing for you now. However, this may not happen on some occasions, for there may be a cheat in your contact who may not be interested in an honest relationship or in being a reliable partner. He/she may be there in for using you for any purpose from extracting personal information to sexually abusing you or he/she may be a criminal in for some malicious act. Dating Live on Net One has to be cautious when dating online since face-to-face meeting may come after very little communication has taken place online. There are few safety precautions you can take while meeting a relatively unknown person that will make your online experience in dating a happy one. Make Your Dating Safe and Secure First, be sure you are a member of a reliable online dating service, which has some means of screening profiles, or verifying personal information or contact details. Check profiles in other dating sites if possible for a con usually will be in other personals ads displaying a different profile and if so then distance you immediately.&lt;br /&gt;When in communication with a prospective date online remember never to give personal details of financial nature, your home address and those relating to whatever weak points you may have or difficulties you may be going through at that time for these can be exploited easily by a professional con. At some point or other, your personal email Id may have to be given or perhaps a contact telephone numberjust limit yourself to that. When you decide to meet, remember the meeting should be organized in a busy restaurant or some public place, never at a lonely spot or personal dwellings. If things do not work out to your liking, you can make a safe exit from there. Try to fix first few meetings in day hours to be safer, a lunch date is not a bad idea at all. Always keep your friends and or relatives informed about your movement so that help can come if things get uneasy. Try to find out more details about the person through communication and from his work place, friends network, or whatever methods you can employ-it pays to play safe. Find an Exciting Date You may have a romantic date find, just the one you have been in quest for. Nevertheless, romance or sex at first instance is a strict no. You do not wish to fall in arms of and already married person or a sex addict. After the initial lure is over you can develop ignorance or intense dislike for the person, so it is better to make sure, before you take a plunge into any commitment, discreet or open relationship. Internet dating is great fun and productive if you take some basic precautions. It is a better method for discovering dream dates than the conventional methods employed before the advent of Net. So go ahead and succeed. I am a freelance writer and web designer. I have published number of article online on Internet. I have written on Internet dating, dating in general, adult Internet personals and relationship.

Take A Car Loan</title><content type='html'>By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Khevin_Anderson]Khevin Anderson So okay. Let us all keep in mind that not all people have the cash readily available to purchase a car. What some people do is they try to save their earnings and purchase a car when they have the complete amount available. On the other hand, some people would opt to borrow money so as to be able to buy a new one. Of course, if you would like to have a car loan, you should have sufficient income as well as a good credit rating. Or else, you may not have approval for a car loan. So how do you get a car loan? The first thing you should do would be to choose the car that you would like to purchase. Then, negotiate a price with the seller or the auto dealer. At least, you would be able to know how much you really would have to prepare for this vehicle you are eyeing. It is now time for you to do your own research. Go through the Internet and look for loan rates all across the country. Compare the rates with those that your bank, credit union, or car dealer offers. Or you can also try checking how much would be your current cars worth as a trade-in. Then try checking your own finances. See how much you can actually shell out as down payment. When you have chosen the company or business where you would be applying for your car loan, contact the company. Of course, you would be finding the right one that would provide you with the best rates as well as the right amount of length of your loan and provides you the chance to have monthly payments that fit your budget.

My effort was serious enough to warrant putting pictures of my fat self on the fridge and even storing a digital image on my cell phone so I would see my waistline with every call! Three weeks into my self imposed program I was carrying my water bottle everywhere, rolling along with a new energy and renewed self confidence - actually feeling good. Then it happened, a personal crisis, stress and a three day business trip out of range of my healthy eating habits. Nothing helped I felt like a climber slipping down his rope on his way to the mountain top.&lt;br /&gt;The snacking started and followed by those Carb raids late in the night! Losing weight is real hard especially when youre a senior  getting back into the regimen is harder than starting a weight loss program.

Some people may get into a situation where unless they get immediate financial help there is a possibility of losing their family home, or their business. One option is to ask your family for help. Asking for financial help is always a tough decision, but sometimes it is the best option. In most cases a loan from the family would be interest free, but it is a good idea to add on interest or include something extra when the loan is repaid. Remember, that any money loaned to you from a family member would have earned interest for that person, so it is a good idea to recompense in some way equal to the interest lost. The important thing is that if you borrow from your family they must be repaid. Put in place a plan that will enable repayment of that debt, plus interest if necessary, within a particular time. Don't take the loan for granted and don't at any time "use" your family. Any losses you cause to your family will bring about irreparable damage to the relationships, as well as financial losses to the members concerned. Loans among Family Members &lt;br /&gt;If you borrow money from a family member, one of the steps you should take to avoid trouble is to clearly document that the money has been received as a loan. You should also document that it is received with or without interest payable. It is a good idea to document things because that family member or you could die and the details of the loan would be hard to put together. It doesn't have to be a legal document, but it should clearly outline who is the lender and who is the borrower and the amounts concerned. It should also outline the interest payable and the repayments that have to be made, either monthly or quarterly. The final thing it should contain is the date the loan should be repaid by. Make sure the document clearly establishes that it is not a gift, but that it is a loan. There are a few things that create problems within families and destroy relationships more than loans that are made and not repaid. Set out a plan for repayment and keep to it.

Before you decide which path to choose, take a few minutes to consider five of the most in-demand careers areas.  These areas are, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), going to experience high growth and demand for workers over the next ten years. 1. Education and health services The BLS estimates that between now and the year 2014, fully 30% of all jobs created in the U.S. will come from the healthcare and educational services arena.  Examples of specific careers that are included in this employment sector are: * Registered nurse * Medical assistant * Radiology technician * Medical imaging * Social services * Childcare * Teaching * Educational support Healthcare in particular is already experiencing an extreme shortage of qualified workers, and the problem will only get worse as time goes by.  Anyone who chooses a career in healthcare is likely to have excellent employment opportunities well into the future. 2. Professional and business services This area encompasses many career choices that cover a wide range of professional and business functions.  Among the careers that fall into this category are: * Business administration * Employment services * Computer systems design * System administration * Cyber security * Management consulting * Technical consulting The main driver for this sector is the increasing complexity of doing business in the modern world.  The integration of business and technology will continue to explode, creating many opportunities for people who want to manage or support such integration efforts. 3. Information We live in the age of information, and the demand is increasing for workers who can develop, run and support the information economy.  Careers in this category include: * Software publishing * Internet publishing * Internet broadcasting * Internet service providers * Web search portals * Data processing and analysis * Telecommunications technicians * Wireless services * Broadband internet services The information sector is not about to shrink, as our world becomes increasingly information-dependent.  A good option to consider is any career that contributes to the development, operation and innovation of information technology and services. 4. Leisure and hospitality The combination of population growth and increasing affluence means U.S. demand for leisure and hospitality services will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.  A wide variety of careers fit into this category, including: * Recreation planning * Fitness training * Gambling and other amusement-related positions * Food services * Hotel management * Travel planning Leisure and hospitality is one category that holds a great deal of promise for anyone who chooses to pursue career options in its many fields and disciplines. 5. Trade, transportation and utilities This category as a whole will show strong growth over the next ten years, but it is a bit of a mixed bag when you take a closer look.  Some specific segments within this category are projected to decline in demand over time, so it is important to understand which careers hold the most promise.  Careers that are projected to increase in demand include: * Truck transportation services * Warehousing services * On-demand transport * Retail services * Water engineers * Water and sewage operations * Waste remediation management As business continues to focus on improving efficiency through better management of inventory and transportation activities, the role of the trucking industry and inventory control/storage management will increase.  The emphasis will continue to be on just in time manufacture, transportation and delivery of goods. Putting it all together Choosing a career field that will be in demand in the years to come is an important process.  There are many sources of information on projected demand for different industries and career fields, so you should do some research and consult multiple resources.  Be cautious, though, about the resources that you select because some are reputable and others are not.  In general, projections and information from government and business organizations are more likely to be accurate than projections and information from a job search engine or a web site promoting the sale of its career building products and services. When it comes to selecting a career, it is well worth the time and effort it takes to research, gather information and talk to career experts across a variety of industries.

Be prepared to speak in front of the class in an interesting and engaging way. Here are five tips for acing a college presentation. 1. Dont be the first person to give a presentation. Sit back and relax. Watch others go before you. Find out what works with their presentations, and consider where you think these presentations fell short. Learn from the mistakes of others, and dont repeat them when its your turn to go. If you have more time to work, and more examples to learn from, you cant help but put together an excellent presentation. 2. Include multimedia displays. Dont just stand and talk. Mix it up with multimedia. Have audio and visual features in your presentation. Create a well-rounded display of ideas and info in multiple formats. Refuse to let your audience get bored with you by offering constant outlets for their continued attention. 3. Talk about controversial material. Challenge something, and replace it with original thinking. When you give a presentation in college, you need to find a way to be unique. Youre instructor or section leader will be forced to sit through countless presentations. If you want to earn an excellent grade, you have to be memorable. Dont just say what you think everyone wants to hear. In fact, a good rule of thumb is to do just the opposite. Identify what your audience will anticipate, and give them something completely different. 4. Pass out informational souvenirs. Have something for the class to keep themselves busy with. If you are standing up there looking at a bunch of bored students whove already given their own presentations, then you need to find a way to involve them in the material that you are representing. Pass out fact sheets, pictures and other reference material. Give your audience an informative distraction thatll increase their attention level. Let them take the souvenir with them after class so that they can be constantly reminded about the original presentation that they were just exposed to. 5. Really get to know your material. If you stand before your class and just read off some prepared statements, your presentation will be stale. Talk about what youve learned in a conversational manner. Prepare a list of issues to discuss, and then just casually make mention of them as you go. The more natural your approach is, the more your audience will respond to the material thats being presented. The more relaxed you are with the subject matter, the more likely you will be seen as an expert. If your professors and fellow students think that youre an expert, you cant help put get in A in your presentation. If youve done your homework, youll have the confidence to give an excellent presentation.

Or perhaps you have maintained friendships from your days in elementary school. Whatever the case, friends are previous gifts we give to ourselves. As children, friendships are vitally important, most notably as it relates to the socialization process. Meeting a new friend the first day of school is essential, especially if one is particularly shy. Perhaps another girl would sense the shyness and offer a hand in friendship. Forming friendships with others from different cultures enhances a childs early experiences as well, and plants a seed that is healthy and which can be nurtured throughout life. But, preserving friendships are often difficult, even under the best of circumstances.  Whether a friend moves away; or leaves school; or becomes ill, it is especially hard on a child.  They are resilient, however, and somehow cope with the loss. As the child becomes a teen, the word friendship takes on a different connotation. While some teens exhibit the closeness and bonding prevalent during their parents day; others are not so conducive to this type of friendship.  Instead, they form gangs which they refer to as their family, and commit acts which were unheard of twenty or thirty years ago. It makes one wonder if this type of friendship is born out of a home where caring and nurturing is non-existent.  Or has peer pressure to act and dress a certain way erased all that was taught in the early years of their childhood. Girls become vicious to each other; more so than boys, and its inconceivable that a meaningful true friendship exists in that environment. Perhaps as we grow older, the child in us returns to the very first day we attended school.&lt;br /&gt;We appreciate and value the friends weve made in our adult life because they ground us; keep us balanced; watch out for us; protect us; care and help us when needed.  True friendships require no expectations; they are unconditional by nature, and bring out the very best of who we are.  We rely on each other for comfort; rant and rave knowing our friend will simply listen; discuss issues which we are passionate about, knowing we will be understood.  Laugh together; cry together; then eat ice cream while laughing all the more. How rare is that kind of friendship?  How blessed are we to have a true friend who will allow us to be who we are, without judgment.  Yes, very rare indeed. As we reach our golden years, our friends may have passed on, but the memories are still intact.  We take out the old scrapbook and reminisce as we thumb through familiar pictures. Suddenly, we laugh and look to one side saying, Remember then stop. A single tear falls down our cheek. We look up and smile because the years have not taken away the recollections of our youthful days, nor has the light of true friendship been extinguished. Need more free relationship information?

The nature of the work carries risks, and accidents can result in serious injuries or even death. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) law requires employers to provide a work place that is safe and free from hazards. Yet, everyday construction workers face dangers that threaten their health and lives. According to OSHA, each year&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 1000 workers die in construction related accidents&lt;br /&gt;A quarter of a million workers suffer injuries resulting in lost work days&lt;br /&gt;Construction accidents cost the industry $13 billion in workers compensation cost alone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OSHA statistics also show that 90% of the fatalities occur in four categories&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caught between objects&lt;br /&gt;Struck by objects&lt;br /&gt;Electrocution&lt;br /&gt;Falls&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These accidents are, therefore, preventable and can be avoided with the proper safety training, precaution, and common sense. Construction work can indeed be dangerous.  The line between a near miss and a fatality is thin. Although, the government will enforce safety and health laws and employers have an obligation to provide a safe and healthy workplace, it is still your responsibility, and you owe it to yourself and your loved ones, to stay safe and out of harms way. Government regulators and inspectors cannot be present at construction sites at all times and, due the nature of the construction business, employers cannot guarantee a 100% safe work place. Simple things such as a change in the weather or the momentary inattention of a fellow worker can lead to a dangerous situation in an instant. With the proper safety training, awareness of your rights and responsibilities, and vigilance against hazardous work conditions you can reduce, if not eliminate altogether, your risk of being injured at work. Here are some things you can do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take advantage of training programs provided by your employer, your union, and your safety society.&lt;br /&gt;Observe safety rules and regulations at all times.&lt;br /&gt;Know your equipment and use them correctly.&lt;br /&gt;Wear and use the right personal protective equipment at all times.&lt;br /&gt;Use proper barriers and guards always.&lt;br /&gt;Don't take short cuts with fire, electrical, or fall protection safety equipment.&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to crib, block and secure all loads as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;Take the time to do the job correctly.&lt;br /&gt;Report unsafe work conditions.&lt;br /&gt;Refuse to work in unsafe conditions.&lt;br /&gt;Watch a free construction safety video online by visiting http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/video/constructionsafety/video.html&lt;br /&gt;Above all, be alert. It's your life and health that is at risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you notice a hazardous situation at work you should bring it to the immediate attention of your employer, your craft steward, or OSHA. To report an emergency, fatality, or imminent life threatening situation to OSHA call 1-800-321-OSHA (6742), TTY 1-877-889-5672. To report other unsafe work conditions contact your local OSHA regional office. You can file a report online or by fax, mail, and telephone. You can request anonymity and OSHA will respect your request. Here are some useful links.

While many people use the term interchangeable, each has a subtle difference. The dictionary defines scheme as an elaborative systematic plan of action. This is true. However, in the world of event planning scheme is usually related to a chosen color palette, while a theme is a unifying idea with reoccurring elements. Such as, tropical paradise, east meets west, down home country, etc.    &lt;br /&gt;Now that we understand the difference lets outline a few easy steps to help you create your own personal color scheme or theme. 1. Create a budget.  Try not to groan. As I know this is not the must fun part about planning your wedding, it is extremely important. Now, the more detail the better, but dont worry if you dont think of everything. Why? a. We need to have a general idea of how much you can afford on your event. This budget will help you from overspending and help you focus on your decorative elements later. b. Step up your general categories: Ceremony, Reception, Bridal Attire, and assign costs to them. c. What if I dont know how much I should assign? Ask yourself: What can I afford and I am comfortable spending on this event as a total number. Then research typically cost breakdowns (in percentages) and do the math. As a buffer add 10% 2. Envision your ideal wedding day.  If you had an unlimited budget, imagine what your perfect wedding day would be like. A country affair, complete with the steeple church on the hill, an uptown chic wedding in a loft overlooking the city or a private party down by the beach. Once you have the big picture you can start to break down the little details into manageable pieces. a. Heres a great exercise. With your fianc, friend or other family member helping you, close your eyes, and answer the question, What would your ideal wedding day be? While your helper writes down what your are envisioning. Then continue the exercise, by going back and elaborating on each section of the weddinggetting dressed, the ceremony and the reception. b. Ladies, dont forget about your fianc. And guys, play along. Trust me, this is how you can help. &lt;br /&gt;After you review your vision, you may see some overlapping styles start to emerge. 3. Infuse your own style.   This is where you can reflect the personalities of you and your partner by taking your ideal day and personalizing it. For ideas on how to add personality to your wedding day, ask you and your spouse the following questions. a. What are our hobbies? b. Where did we meet? c. What are our favorite colors? d. What profession are we currently in? e. Do either of us have a nickname? f. What is the season we are getting married in? Then select the answer that means the most to both of you. Now, notice how I didnt say answers. A word of caution here, a single theme/scheme is easy to plan and will create cohesiveness.&lt;br /&gt;A theme may have emerged, by now.. 4. Prepare a Storyboard.  What is a storyboard? A story board is a collage (grouping) of ideas representing your envisioned wedding day and your infused personalization selections. a. Create several headings on your storyboard to group ideas together. Such as attire, ceremony, reception and floral decor. b. Attach items such as ribbon samples, tiles, a silk flower, or any object that reflects your selected theme? c. Look through magazines, newspapers &amp; websites, cutting out ideas that fit your color scheme/theme. d. Paste them to the board. 5. Select your color palette.  Review what items are on your story board and look for reoccurring color combinations. Just remember this basic formula when selecting your colors: A dark color, a medium color, a light color and an accent color. So for example: Lets look at a theme displayed I like to call The Splendors of Summer.  Dark color  Sage, Medium Color  yellow, Light Color  Buff and Accent color  Fuchsia. 6. Create a List of selected ideas.  This list will become your action plan. a. Go through storyboard and select your favorite ideas. b. Research their costs. c. Add costs to your budget. d. Implement with normal timeline and track actual expenses. e. Revise as necessary.   Your wedding will continue to evolve through each stage. &lt;br /&gt;TIP &lt;br /&gt;As a general rule of thumb, select one 1 to 3 ideas to be implemented at each phase of the wedding. This will help create a unified feeling throughout the whole event. In some cases it may be necessary to give explanation of a theme. This can be done on a program or announcement board. http://www.bloomedtolast.com Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Kristi_Richardson http://EzineArticles.com/?Schemes,-Themes-and-Wedding-Dreams---How-To-Create-A-Wedding-Day-Color-Scheme-Or-Theme&amp;id=463174 &lt;a href="http://ecbsonline.org/user/view.php?id=6&amp;course=1"&gt;buy xanax from mexico&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://reach4growth.com/moodle/user/view.php?id=53&amp;course=1"&gt;order xanax off internet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.sedc.org.pk/portal/dlearn/user/view.php?id=1709&amp;course=1"&gt;online pharmacy xanax ambien&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://mujin.org//user/view.php?id=14&amp;course=1"&gt;online generic xanax without prescription&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3755706736325329450-5251956068874587414?l=baylessshoeb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3755706736325329450/posts/default/5251956068874587414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3755706736325329450/posts/default/5251956068874587414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://baylessshoeb.blogspot.com/2008/01/schemes-themes-wedding-dreams-how-to.html' title='Schemes, Themes &amp; Wedding Dreams - How To Create A Wedding Day Color Scheme Or Theme'/><author><name>baylessshoeb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11473011047376834255</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755706736325329450.post-240204232391468969</id><published>2008-01-01T06:08:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-01T06:08:57.032-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Is  Your Family  A Team?</title><content type='html'>By Ted Segura Isnt it true that teamwork is very important for games such as Basketball, Baseball, Football and many more for them to win the game? Every time a player of a winning team gets interviewed after the game, he says Its Teamwork. Even someone like Michael Jordan believes in teamwork and he doesnt highlight any particular player as the star of the show. We know of companies that send their managers and employees to seminars that give trainings on teambuilding. As a human resource consultant, I highly recommend this because it will result to the efficiency of the company. It will be difficult for the company if one department cannot work well with another department. I recall one game we played on teambuilding. The game had to have 6 people walk together stepping on two wooden boards and the first person held on to the rope tied to it while the rest held each others waist. Just imagine 2 long skis with 6 people on top of it. We had to think and work together how to go to the end of the line without having to fall and win too. Because each one cooperated, we had no problem winning. But if each one did his way, what a disaster it would have been and someone could have gotten hurt too. I should say that we can highly apply this in the family. Wouldnt it be great if each member in the family played his part well in the task he is given at home just like a player? For example, when dad comes home from work, mom has already prepared a delicious meal, Ann, helped mom prepare the table and Liz and Joey are ready to help clean the dishes after. What a relax evening it would be for everyone particularly mom and dad. How about on a Saturday, dad would be so glad if Joey could help him out wash the car and bring out the garbage while Ann and Liz help mom on the laundry. Then when the work is done, everyone can spend the rest of the day enjoying a picnic or a movie together and the day wasnt wasted. Lets be creative and make it fun too for the children. This way they themselves will not feel that its all work. At the same time this builds discipline in each one just like the basketball players. Yes be a Family Team!

Those who think we are taken at the beginning of the great tribulation are pre-tribulationists. Those who think the snatching away takes place in the middle of the great tribulation are the mid-trib folks. Finally there are the post tribulationists, which is self explanatory. Anyone holding one of the three views mentioned has an ample supply of proof texts to support their views. Very few proof texts are available for the post tribulation theory and it is barely supportable. Most people are on the side of the pre-tribulation rapture; unfortunately it is often for the wrong reasons. Many people view a pre-tribulation rapture as an enormous escape hatch. When the going gets rough the pretribulationists just get going, or just get gone. The fact that their views may be correct doesnt diminish the fact that it is the view most likely to leave the believer unprepared. It is human nature to take the path of least resistance but it is high folly to think it will be available right at the point when things start really getting rough. The bottom line for the unprepared is that they can only hope their views are right. But hope is a long way from preparedness. Many Christians have failed to do the math, not to mention engaging good sense. It is easy to see why this could happen considering that no one really wants to see their world torn up from the roots, and in the vast sticky quagmire of apocalyptic interpretations and speculations it is easy to get confused. As a result they have not noticed that one of the simplest ways to know when the rapture will take place is clearly provided in scripture. It is not so much when, but it is the latest point at which it could happen, and also a promise that it cant happen before a specific event. The prophet Daniel spoke of it hundreds of years before Christ. Jesus reiterated it with a few more details. Finally the book of Revelation shows it as a pivotal event in the judgment to come. Simply put the event is the abomination of desolation. When ye therefore shall see the abomination desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.) Mt 24:15 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 11:31 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall he a thousand two hundred amid ninety days. Daniel 12:11 The time is halfway through the last seven years in which the antichrist rules the world. The result is the pouring out of the wrath of God. Rev 16:2. Without getting bogged down in eschatological theory, semantic word games or other second coming hype here is the picture in all of its blaring simplicity. Since the wrath of God is not poured out until the antichrist does the abomination of desolation that means this is the last point we could possibly be on the earth according to the promise of I Thessalonians 1:10. Because this is true, that puts the mid-tribulationists at the top of the list of those who are most likely to have it right. This kind of interpretation comes under the heading of... if the scripture makes plain sense, seek no other sense. I always appendage my teaching on the rapture with this equally important fact, the rapture could come at any time God chooses to make it happen. All theology is subject to the ultimate sovereignty of God. The pre-tribulation theory is the most petted, preferred and defended for a reason. The reason is that believers fail to differentiate between who and what is causing the tribulation in those last days. The antichrist makes trouble for the believer, and then God makes trouble for the antichrist. We are promised that God will not pour his wrath out on his own but we are never promised that we can escape the troubles incurred at the onset of the rule of the antichrist. Rather, we are told to resist his rule which of itself implies trouble Mk 8:35. In a country where we are waiting for more of Gods unbridled blessings it is hard to teach believers that they may not only have to give something up to fight evil, but ultimately that something, may be their lives, literally. If your rapture theology includes the possibility that you may have to give up your life, you may he happy to find out that even if you held the wrong view you couldnt possibly lose anything. More importantly if you are not wrong at the very least you will be prepared. Being ready is part of Gods plan for us when it has to do with his return. In fact it is a command and an expectation that our Savior has clearly made known to all of us. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Mt 24:44 Rev Bresciani is the author of two popular Christian books. He has also written dozens of articles both online and in print.

Well one issue that comes up time and time again is that women often dont know if their partner loves them or not. So to all you men out there show her that you love her, dont just say it!! So many men just wait until their wives ask if they love them and then they say of course I love you, you dont need to ask. Sometimes they dont even mention the love you bit for fear of embarrassment. This is the kind of response given time and time again but at the end of the day words dont really count for very much unless you mean them and you show that you mean them. Loving someone isnt just saying I love you of of course I do at certain prompted intervals. Love is in the way you feel, in the way you treat someone, in how you act and in what you say. Love is having respect for someone, being there for them and looking forward to those special intimate moments. Love means understanding your partner, respecting their opinions and ideas and helping them with all the mindless boring chores. Love means pulling together in good times and in bad. Marriage advice for man, if you really care for your partner then now is the time to start showing it. Put your wife first and the football second!! Pay her compliments and mean them. Make her feel special. In intimate moments think of your partners pleasure as well as your own. Dont just say you are sorry, actually mean it. If you say you are going to do something, do it. If you say you are going to be somewhere, be there. Dont keep on making the same mistake over and over. Its a clear sign that you havent listened and you dont care. Find things that you can do together and both enjoy. Its all too easy to grow apart when you dont spend quality time together. Listen to what your wife has to say. Listen, understand and take action. Dont ever assume the grass is greener elsewhere. It might be different but not necessarily better!! Help with all those horrible chores around the house, especially if you are both working. If you dont like doing something then the likelihood is that your wife doesnt either. Marriage is a partnership and you need to work together as a team so that you both enjoy the same amount of free time. Understanding each other, respecting each other and striking a balance is what counts. Plan a surprise every now and then, maybe a short break, an evening out or cook a romantic dinner. At the end of the day marriage advice for man isnt that different to marriage advice for women, treat your partner as you would want to be treated.

Get Creative With These Unique Wedding Guestbook Alternatives</title><content type='html'>By Blake Kritzberg While the traditional wedding guestbook serves an important function, more and more couples -- and wedding planners -- are steering away from the time-tested in favor of something more personal. That's especially true for brides and grooms having a relaxed second wedding, or those who simply enjoy a dynamic relationship and powerful personalities. Traditional guestbooks are great, but one-of-a-kind alternatives can be even better! So, youre sold -- youve decided to put together a more totally-you memento of your guests than that little quilted journal and feather pen. And yet, its a struggle to come up with the perfect idea. Never fear  with a little brainstorming, youll find yourself armed with several original choices. While you ponder, ask yourself questions about what makes you stand out as a couple. What are your hobbies? Do you play any instruments? How do you like to spend your free time? What tantalizing spot did you pick for your honeymoon? Take mental note of your talents and passions  or prized possessions. Answering basic questions like these should help you develop a fresh and personal spin on the traditional guestbook. Here are a few quick ideas to help you get started:   Blessed with musical talent?   If you play the guitar, keep an eye out for miniature or older, not-necessarily-playable guitars at music shops, thrift stores, and so on. Buy some Sharpies and clear acrylic spray, so the surface can be signed and sealed for years to come. You can make similar modifications to instruments like banjos, mandolins, violins. Actually, with a little creativity you could probably convert almost any instrument!   Crazy for sports?  If so, consider signing memorabilia or sporting goods equipment related to your favorite sports or teams. Hockey players are sure to appreciate a signed hockey stick they can mount in a shadow box or simply hang from a wall. If youd like to play this down a bit, just frame a picture of yourselves dressed in your favorite teams jerseys (or going to a sporting event) and leave plenty of ink-friendly matting around the frame.   Love to travel?  Look for artifacts or souvenirs that can be signed and framed or displayed after the ceremony. Fans of the Far East might enjoy a signed kimono. A safari jacket might be perfect for Africa aficionados. Most countries lend themselves to some type of apparel or indigenous piece of art thats simple to convert into a customized guestbook alternative.   Its also worth mentioning that the number of couples going with a Signature Platter is on the rise.  Why? Because not only is a signed platter a great way to remember your special day, its one of the few guestbooks that can actually become part of your daily routine. These are hardly your only possibilities for novel alternatives to the traditional guestbook. With a little creativity, brainstorming and research, you shouldnt have any trouble finding a guestbook thats as perfect for your wedding as you are for each other.
