Are You Getting to Your Weight Loss Goals?

Friday, March 14th, 2008

By Hema Murty Many people embark on an ambitious program to lose weight before the holiday season. Usually this program starts in the fall and has an ambitious goal to be achieved by the holiday season. One thing that stands in the way of achieving goals is how realistic your workout plan is. In starting out on a workout strategy, it is really important to include a practicality factor. How much do you really think you can achieve per week? If you are too aggressive, you run the risk of getting sick in trying to keep up to your schedule. Make sure to incorporate down time. On those days, you dont have to do any activity. Regular life is enough to throw your schedule. One early morning meeting is all you need to get you off track. A better way to achieve goals is to make your workout simpler with some flexibility thrown in. Instead of planning your schedule to be active every day of the week, try to plan workouts during your regular day. For example, a mother of seven planned her walks around the soccer field while waiting for her sons soccer practices. She managed to get in her cardio workout for the week. Most people can use their at work time to build in their stretches. This is the most neglected activity. Yet, stretching can relieve most neck, back and headache pain in the workplace environment. Repetitive strain syndrome is another workplace issue that can be relieved through a mini stretch during the day. This type of program can reduce absenteeism in the workplace. It is amazing what a simple fifteen minute stretch program can do for your fitness level. In most cases, participants learn to breathe properly and reduce their stress level. These exercises can be interspersed throughout the day as well. Stretching during the day leads to increased workplace productivity. In addition, we spend so many hours inside that our thinking ability is reduced owing to lack of fresh air. A small fifteen minute walk during the day can do wonders for your ability to be productive. Youre thinking ability increases with the increased flow of oxygen to your brain. This leads to fewer errors in your thinking ability. Communication skills are improved with increased breathing ability. During stressful situations, our breathing is short and quick. By learning breathing techniques, we can bring out a relaxed attitude through deep and long breathing. This brings out our workplace effectiveness. Weight loss is directly linked to our ability to deal with stress. So instead of pounding away at yourself for not keeping up to your schedule, take it down a notch and focus on your ability to deal with stress. Schedule an appointment with a certified personal trainer who can help you deal with your ability to perform in stressful situations. For the past 20 years Hema has worked with many individuals, including executives at large corporations, to reduce stress, improve general health and workplace productivity.

Hot New Sunflowers to Grow

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

By Yvonne Cunnington In recent years, sunflowers have come into their own as cutting flowers. There are many exciting new cultivars in a variety of shapes - from standard ray flowers to pompoms or fuzzy disks. The plant sizes too range from dwarf to giant. As for colors, these too go well beyond the standard sunny yellow into white, lemon, bicolors, and even dusky burgundy. Cut sunflowers are expensive to buy, so if you have the space, it’s well worth the effort to grow your own. Unique sunflower cultivars to grow: Many of the newer sunflower cultivars are pollenless, which makes them perfect for cutting and bringing into the house. Here are some of my favorites: ‘Ring of Fire’: An AAS (All-America-Selections) winner with striking 5-inch wide pollenless flowers; bi-coloured petals in dark red around a chocolate brown center taper off to golden yellow tips. Grows 4 to 5 feet tall; late-blooming. Sunflower ‘Claret’: An excellent cutting sunflower that keeps its intense velvet burgundy color in the summer sun. Main stem grows 6 feet tall; produces side-shoots with lots of blooms. ‘Eversun’: A deep yellow, early-blooming pollenless type with big 10- to 12-inch ray flowers around a dark brown disk; flowers produced on one main stem. Sunflower ‘Teddy Bear’: I’m generally not a fan of overbred flowers, but I’ve fallen in love with the sheer zaniness of this one. Has soft, fluffy, pompom heads that make handsome cut flowers; 2 to 3 feet tall with lots of flowers per plant. A perfect plant for a children’s garden (and anyone who is young at heart). Does well in containers too. ‘Giant Sungold’ Sunflower: At 5 feet in height with lots of flower-bearing branches, this is a taller version of ‘Teddy Bear’. For more information, visit garden writer Yvonne Cunnington’s sunflower page at http://www.flower-gardening-made-easy.com/growing-sunflowers.html | For more information on growing sunflower from seed, go to http://www.flower-gardening-made-easy.com/sunflowers-from-seed.html | Yvonne is the author of the book Clueless in the Garden: A Guide for the Horticulturally Helpless.

Make the Most of Every Opportunity-With a Loan!

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mark_Lambie]Mark Lambie You’re sitting at home after a long day at work. Suddenly the telephone rings and it’s a friend calling to tell you about a great opportunity this weekend. A group of your friends are getting together for a holiday. A big holiday! They’ve got a deal on the plane tickets and hotels as long as everyone can come and they’re relying on you to come, too. The problem is that you have no cash. Your budget was blown out the window last week with an unexpected bill and you’ve found yourself strapped for cash. Your credit cards are maxed out because of it. It looks like you may have to pass on this event. It’s too bad that you have to pass, because it sounds like a memorable time. It will be the holiday of a lifetime that everyone will talk about for years to come. Why should you suffer for so long because of a bill that ended up being higher than expected. It’s too bad that it came in so high, but it shouldn’t ruin your life or your enjoyment. You want to be a part of this event and now there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be. One answer might be a UK personal loan. There are two kinds of loans: secured loans and unsecured loans. Secured loans use assets to help guarantee the loan while unsecured loans are simply money lent to you based on your credit rating. If you have assets that you can put up as collateral, you can get a secured loan at an attractive rate of interest and for an attractive period of repayment. But unlike the pawnshop, you’ll still get to keep and use the collateral; it’s just there in case you can’t make your payments. On the other hand, if you do not have assets to put up as a guarantee of the loan, don’t despair! You may still be able to get a loan, but it will simply be a loan with a slightly higher rate of interest or a shorter repayment period. There are many companies online that are set up to help you get a loan quickly and easily and if you have a good credit rating you’ll command some of the best rates available. But even if your credit rating is less than good, you may still qualify for a great loan which means you’ll qualify for a great vacation! Either way, you now have the ability, with a UK personal loan, to go on that holiday. It’s an investment, after all. It’s an investment into your memories and into your life’s enjoyment and into your friendships. It will be a holiday you won’t soon forget!

How to Create a North Carolina-Themed Gift Basket

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

By Wendy Wood In the Southeastern part of the United States, North Carolina sits along the Atlantic Seaboard. As one of the original Thirteen Colonies, the state served as home to the first established English colony in the Americas. Many firsts continued to flourish in North Carolina, including the Wright Brothers succeeding in their earliest flight at Kill Devil Hills, located close to Kitty Hawk. Today, tourists encounter mountain ranges, humid temperatures, and close connections with the film industry. While California and New York seem to monopolize all of the attention when it comes to the movie world, did you know that North Carolina is the third largest film production state? Throughout the North Carolina, film studios situated in Asheville, Wilmington, Durham, Raleigh, Shelby, and Charlotte, crank out some of the most well known flicks to hit the movie theaters. Some gift basket ideas to create may highlight some of the films shot in the state, such as the baseball-inspired Bull Durham basket; snacks and activity basket in honor of Cabin Fever; and a scented candle assortment to pay homage to Stephen King’s Firestarter. Additional movies filmed in the area include Dirty Dancing, The Crow, Cape Fear, Shallow Hal, as well as the popular teen TV show titled Dawson’s Creek, which would make the perfect Teen Angst gift basket filled with acne products, and bath and cosmetic selections. North Carolina also houses a serious assortment of higher education institutions, where gift baskets showcasing the popular schools of the area are sure to please both the beaming parent and the studious attendee. Make sure you have enough colorful ribbons, bows, and accents that correspond to following notable colleges and universities in the area: Duke University (Duke blue and white); Wake Forest University (Old Gold and black); Davidson College (red and black); and North Carolina State University (red and white). State symbols can help a gift basket creator find new and exciting ways to make arrangements. In the case of North Carolina, you may want to utilize the cardinal (state bird); the dogwood (state flower); the emerald (state gem); milk (state beverage); the sweet potato (state vegetable); as well as the strawberry and blueberry, which serve as state berries. Pine scented candles and incenses could be used to fill a gift basket that pays tribute to the state tree. The Eastern Grey Squirrel, which is the state mammal, may present an entertaining companion for a stuffed animal choice filling a gift basket geared towards kids. The European honeybee serves as the state insect, which allows gift basket makers to play with the theme of honey. Wendy Wood is the owner of Seek Gift Baskets, an online gift basket directory.For more information on gift baskets North Carolina visit http://www.seekgiftbaskets.com/directory/search_result/Browse/North+Carolina/ Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Wendy_Wood http://EzineArticles.com/?How-to-Create-a-North-Carolina-Themed-Gift-Basket&id=531006 long term effects of ambien ambien usage sleeping pills 2b ambien about ambien withdrawl

Pondless Waterfalls: Concrete vs. Pond Liner

Friday, March 7th, 2008

By Douglas Hoover The get-rich-quick factor in the pond liner industry has forced up the price of pond liner kits to equal the cost of concrete construction. If you search for the truth about concrete ponds and waterfalls from reading the literature of the greed-driven liner pond industry, you will not find it. Why? Because if the truth be known, no one in their right mind would invest good, hard-earned money in a pond liner! The pond liner track record speaks for itself: More than 37% of all waterfalls have serious structural damage within 3 years of construction. 57% of homeowners say they are rather unsatisfied with the way their waterfall came out after the project was completed. One in three waterfalls and ponds are leaking water within nine months of completion. 63% of do-it-yourselfers say they wished they had the proper information from the get go or that they had hired someone. These statistics are from the pond liner industry itself (Bob Wilder, 48-Hour Waterfall). I can confirm and attest to these figures myself. I have built over 1,900 concrete and rebar waterfalls and ponds over the past 26 years. I have ripped out and replaced dozens of defective liner ponds and replaced them with concrete ones with lifetime warranties. Pond liner guys will not attach more than a one-year warranty. They make no guarantee against rats, mice, ground squirrels, gophers, tree roots and sharp objects. Lets compare apples to lemons First, lets talk about apples (concrete waterfalls). We will construct a pondless waterfall that is 20 inches wide at the top by 20 feet long, becoming 24 inches wide at the bottom, to create a spillway 3 feet tall. At the bottom is a catch basin 4 ft. x 6 ft. x 3 ft. deep. The costs of excavation are as follows: To dig a waterfall and basin takes two men 4 hours @ $20 per hour = $160. The flexible PVC pipe is 35 ft. @ $1.25 per ft. = $44. Concrete (3500 psi with stealth fiber)): 2 yards = $250. 20 pieces of 20 ft. x 3/8 inch rebar = $100. One 1/3 HP high efficiency pump, 2800 GPH, 356 watts = $429. One anti-vortex drain = $10. Four 2 x 4 ft. heavy plastic corrugated or galvanized plans to cover the collection basin = $35. Setting the rebar: 3 man-hrs. = $225. Pumping and finishing 2 yards of concrete: 4 man-hrs. @ $75/hr. = $300. Applying thoro-seal, 1 sack + 1 hour = $43. Rock work + 8 sacks mortar mix: labor - 8 man-hrs. @ $75/hr. = $600. Mortar: $40. TOTAL EXCAVATION COST FOR A CONCRETE POND = $2,236. With this type of construction, no filter is needed. The water in the basin is not exposed to sunlight, so there are no algae. Plus the top layer of rock and the planks are easily removed for cleaning out debris about once a year. If a plastic screen is placed over the planks before the rock layer, cleaning is reduced by 90%. Now lets talk about the lemons (the liner folks). The pondless waterfall liner kit advertised by all the disciples of the liner messiah on their websites is $1,940 + tax & shipping, or $2,176. And now for the math: One concrete/rebar construction pondless waterfall completed with high-efficiency pump = $2,236. One pondless liner kit to build a pondless waterfall of the exact same dimensions = $2,176. If I did the math correctly, the completed concrete pondless waterfall costs $60 more than the pondless waterfall liner kit; however, it is still in the box! Concrete and rebar pondless waterfall has a lifetime warranty. Liner pondless waterfall: 1 yr. warranty on labor, lifetime warranty against factory defect. But there is no warranty whatsoever against holes caused by rats, mice, ground squirrels, gophers, tree roots, sharp objects, etc. Sorry Charlie! Concrete and rebar pondless waterfalls use a high-efficiency above-ground pump that is easy to service (it has a 3 yr. warranty). The 1/3 HP pump is small, very quiet, and easily hidden behind a couple of rocks or plants next to the falls, or piped to another part of the yard. The liner pondless waterfall uses a submersible sump pump that is placed in the bottom of the basin, and then buried with hundreds of pounds of rocks. To service this pump (only a 2 yr. warranty), all the slimy, stinky rocks have to be removed from the basin first. The concrete and rebar pondless waterfall pump produces 5,800 gallons per hour at only 356 watts (retail $429). The liner pondless waterfall kit comes with a sump pump (they advertise as the best pump on the market). It produces 5,700 gal/hour (100 gal. less) at a whopping 911 watts of power (over twice that of the above-ground pump). You will pay $525 more per year for electricity (at $.12/kwh) for that extra 555 watts. Their pump costs $600 retail ($171 more than the above-ground). Oh, did I mention the best warranty in the industry is only 2 years, compared to 3 years for the above-ground? The concrete and rebar pondless waterfalls rocks are all mortared in place. So anyone, especially small children, can climb on the rocks without them moving, with possible serious injury resulting. With liner pondless waterfalls, rocks will move and shift on their own without help. After a few months, the ugly liner is exposed in the falls and around the pond. While building the concrete pondless waterfall, design liberties can be taken, such as altering the length, width or shape of the feature. With a liner pondless waterfall, the parameters have already been set by the manufacturer of the kit. The concrete pondless waterfall can utilize the large, open basin to install an Aquafill automatic water leveling device. In addition, the basin can be made smaller because the space for water is not taken up by rocks as it is in the liner pondless waterfall basin. The only rock that exists is on top of the galvanized or plastic plank cover. Wow! Concrete waterfalls are stationary, permanent, lifetime life-expectancy, cheaper to build, cheaper to operate, easier to clean, easy to maintain, longer pump warranty, safer and more natural looking! Apples or lemons? You be the judge! I am sick and tired of these amateurs giving my life-long profession a bad name by their exaggerated, dishonest and sensational claims only to be backed up by a nebulous warranty and, at best, shoddy workmanship. My disclaimer: There are professionals installing liners that do take measures to prevent rodent or root attacks by placing a think layer of mortar under and over the liner. I found that if you are going to go to all that extra work and expense, just build it with 3500 psi concrete to begin with! Happy koi, peace and joy no koi, no joy. Douglas C.

Salvation of the Jews to Determine the Lord’s Return: the Churches Greatest Prayer Responsibility

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

By Tom Cooper Jesus wont come until the Jewish people are saved. Why the salvation of the Jewish people is your greatest priority in prayer! Maybe you live in a town or city far removed from Israel, and maybe you dont even know any Jewish people. Perhaps you go to church every Sunday, and even give support to the annual missions drive, but praying daily for the salvation of the Jewish people well that is surely something someone is doing somewhere. Right? Maybe you are even a Jewish believer but you have never felt the burden of prayer. Or perhaps you are a missionary and the Lord has placed a calling on your life to travel to a third world country, so why should you worry about praying for Israel and the Jewish people? Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Psalm 122:6 In this verse, we must ask, what is the peace of Jerusalem? Certainly it isnt the state of affairs today. So should we pray for half of the city to be given to the Arabs? Will that bring peace? History shows that it will only increase the conflict. Ok what about giving Jerusalem over to the Vatican or the United Nations, they can certainly keep the peace, maybe that is what we should pray for. Is Gods inheritance a mere political football? Can man govern what God has ordained as His? No, peace, true peace, can only come when Yeshua (Jesus) reigns from His throne, in His city, Jerusalem, and all the world bows their knee to their King Messiah. Yeshua, Jesus, IS the Peace of Jerusalem! So why is the peace of Jerusalem important to some one in Paris, or London, or Peoria, Illinois? Because there will not be worldwide peace until the Kingdom of God is established in the Earth, and the place He has declared to be the capital of His earthly kingdom is Jerusalem. The world will continue to sink into greater darkness and evil until the coming Great Day of the Lord. So our earnest desire as believers ought to be His soon coming in order to bring an end to suffering, and to see the glory of our Savior proclaimed in all the earth. So how does this coming of the Lord depend on the salvation of the Jewish people? Im glad you asked. From Genesis to Revelation, God revealed a plan, a perfect plan for the redemption of all mankind to Himself. A vital part of that plan was to establish a people, holy and separated to Him through whom the world would know the one true God. So often I have heard or read about how the Jews failed in their mission, but what was their mission? I believe it was to establish in the hearts of men that: 1)There is only One true God 2)That mankind is inherently evil 3)That we are unable to save ourselves for our goodness is as filthy rags 4)That only through the grace of God and the sacrifice offered by His Son could we be saved. In this the Jews succeeded remarkably in fulfilling exactly their calling. How can I say this? Firstly throughout their history leading up to the first coming of Yeshua, they faithfully recorded the word that God gave them, and the successes and failures they had in trying to keep Gods commandments. They never changed the words of the prophets, and they didnt gloss over their sins, they faithfully recorded for all of mankind the battle that wages within the human soul that is enslaved to sin, but seeking to be reunited to their heavenly Father in righteousness. Without the Law, as Paul said, we would not know what sin was. Without the Jews faithfully recording the law, and their failure to keep it, we would not know how to interpret Gods commandments to us. No other nation or people ever received such revelation, and no other nation or people could have done a more honest and thorough job of delivering it to the world. Secondly even while under the persecution of God for their disobedience and driven from their land, they took their holy book with them to every nation, and by their sacrifice, they introduced the word of God to every culture. No nation can stand before God and say they didnt have an opportunity to know the truth. The sins of the fathers flow from generation to generation, and whole nations suffer under the curse of their forefathers rejection of the revealed word of God, in fact I believe even the lost societies today that claim to have never seen the word of God before, living in remote jungles that scientist say have never connected with the outside world, are actually the result of centuries of societal decay from what was once the rejection of the word of God. I cant prove it, it is just my belief. The world today knows about the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac because of the travail of the Jewish people. Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness? Romans 11:12 Do you understand what Paul was saying here? By the failure of the Jews to keep the law and by their rejection of the Messiah, the Gentiles (nations of the world) were able to receive the salvation that they would never have received otherwise. The ensuing punishment of the Jewish people was Gods just recompense for them turning from His blessing when they had lived in His very presence, but you must not miss the second part of that sentence how much more their fullness? You see God is a covenant keeping God, and He is jealous over His name, he does not like it when the world mocks his people or diminishes His name. He said He sent them out of the land for a little punishment, but the world treated them severely. Being cast out of their land for a time was to be punishment enough, but the world exacted pogroms and death camps, and the holocaust. This was mankinds evil, not Gods plan. God however still has a plan and that is to cleanse the iniquity of His people, and to restore them to their land and a place of honor amongst the nations. To establish through them a kingdom of priest through whom will go out the word and grace of God to the whole earth. You see, while the nations have been given the gospel of salvation, the truth is that when it comes to the blessings of God being poured out upon all flesh, we aint seen nothin yet! If you read your bible from beginning to end (you would be amazed at how many professing Christians and even pastors never have) then you will clearly see an emerging picture of the visitation to the people of Israel, their failing under the yoke of the law, the coming of grace and salvation to all nations, and the redemption of the people of Israel through the grace of their Messiah in order that no man can boast. Boast of what? Of the ability to reach God through the keeping of a law and of their own good works. The only way back to the Father is through the atoning blood sacrifice of the true Passover Lamb, Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus the Christ) The full understanding of this undeniable fact, that being the end time restoration and salvation of the Jewish people, brings the following point into crystal clarity. Jesus wont return, until His people cry out to Him. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until [the time] come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Luke 13:34-35 In Hebrew we say it like this Baruch Ha Ba BShem Adonai. This scripture was addressed to who? The Jewish people! You see Jesus said He would not return to Jerusalem until His people called out for Him and blessed His name. And to where is Jesus going to return? Well if you are reading the same bible I am He is going to step on the Mount of Olives and split it in half. He is returning to Jerusalem! So if you have been longing for the coming of Messiah, then you had better get to work praying for the veil to be lifted from the eyes of the Jewish people, and for their salvation. Because Yeshua, the Jewish Savior who has extended His grace to the gentile world as well, is not coming back until the day that they call out Baruch Ha Ba BShem Adonai! I can encourage you about the soon coming of the Lord by telling you that thousands of Jews in Israel, and even in Jerusalem itself today sing these very words regularly to the Lord. Never in history have their been more Jewish people that believe in Yeshua. But we need to see the veil lifted from all of the Jewish people worldwide, and prayer is our greatest spiritual tool in accomplishing that. From prayer God can provide personal opportunities to be a living witness, and also organized outreaches of various types, but it all is birthed in intercession. If you have dismissed Israel and the Jewish people from your sense of personal obligation, then you might want to rethink your position. For the church who has mystically assigned the promises of Israel to themselves and declared the Jewish people forgotten by God, I think you are in for a surprise, because when the Lord comes back it is going to be to His chosen people first. Clearly, He is still on their side! Please read all of Romans Chapter eleven and ponder it, because as a believer you don’t want to find yourself on the opposite side of the fence when it comes to the Apple of God’s eye, Israel. There is no more important activity for any Christian around the world today than to be giving themselves to daily prayer and intercession for the Jewish people and their inheritance Israel. The coming of the Lord depends on it. Go ahead with your other callings and activities, but on your list of priorities, I would urge you to place at the top of your list, praying for the salvation of the Jewish people, the turning back of the enemies of Israel, and for the Peace of Jerusalem. To all of those who claim that Israel and the Jewish people arent relevant today, I say your hope is in vain. I make the point one last time; Jesus wont come back, until the Jewish people are saved. Think about it.

How To Grow Your Own Hot Peppers

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

By Gregg Hall Have you ever seen recipes for homemade salsa? They certainly do look fresh and tasty. More and more people are discovering how easy it is to make their own tasty condiments, right at home! Another option would be to get into the habit of preparing your own hot sauces, of which there are many varieties ranging from Asian to Louisiana and Mexican. Before on embarking on this particular culinary adventure, it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the method of measuring hotness, known as the scoville scale. And no hot sauce would be the same without the addition of jalapenos, as many as you can stand. If you are going to take the plunge into growing your own hot peppers, you might well want to consider including other ingredients you will need for salsas and sauces, including tomatoes, onions, and sweet peppers. A good gardening guide (check out the offerings at your local public library before you purchase one) will give you an idea of what types of vegetables would grow well in your geographic region. You will also need to consider how large a garden you will plant, which will depend in part on how much time you have to devote to your hobby. Another factor in deciding what and how much to plant is the amount of space you need to leave between the different types of vegetables. The Internet is a great source of information about gardening, and you may have some friends or relatives who are avid gardeners who may be able to give you some assistance in this matter. A garden center will be able to provide you with the necessary gardening tools and fertilizer. One thing you will also want to take into consideration is how many vegetables your garden is likely to yield. You might end up with a lot more vegetables than you were originally planning on. Not to worry, though: your friends, family, and co workers will have reap the benefits of your gardening efforts when you share your bounty with them. Another option is to donate extra vegetables to a food bank, shelter, or church organization. Once you get to the point where you are ready to harvest your veggies, you can check out some yummy salsa recipes to try. If you find one that you particularly like, don’t be shy about making some changes to the recipe to really make it your own. A slight change in the combination of seasonings and types of peppers will make the basic salsa recipe into your own creation. Some people have even taken the additional step of starting their own business selling their wares at flea markets, fairs, and to local grocers. If you were to market your foodstuffs online, you could well end up having customers from any place in the world! Gregg Hall is an author living in Navarre Beach, Florida.

Always The Real Thing: The Value of Being Yourself in Attracting Women

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

By James Brito You know that Coca-Cola slogan, “Always the real thing”? It doesn’t just apply to soft drinks. It also applies to relationships. No matter how many dating seminars you attend, how many books you read, or how many seduction services you subscribe to, none of the lessons are gonna matter if they don’t fit with YOUR personality. In his interview with dating guru DeAngelo, relationship expert Carlos Xuma says, “I feel like an idiot if I’m just reciting somebody’s regurgitated lines. I have to make it personal to me.” I think a lot of guys can relate to that. So you have to make your approach, your seduction style, personal to you. But you also have to make it personal to a woman. Xuma makes the excellent point that if you use standard, recycled lines on a woman, you make HER feel standard and recycled, as well! It’s as if she’s a carbon copy of every other woman who’s been branded with the cow-poke of pick-up lines. Treat her specially, like someone unique, and she’ll treat YOU as someone special and unique, as well. But how can you expect her to respect you, if you disrespect her by treating her like all the other woman out there? There’s the failure of overused pick-up lines: They’re not original. And they’re usually not part of who YOU are. As Xuma points out, in deciding how to approach girls, sometimes the best “style” is actually no style. Don’t do what works for other guys; do what works for you. I hope that the methods I teach in “How to Be Irresistible to Women” will work for you. In fact, I’m confident they will. But if they don’t fit your personality, then don’t use them! Instead of prescribing to just one method-or worse, to ALL of them-try to use pieces of each of them, until you’re totally prepared for anything. It’s nice to have a Plan A, but having a back-up Plan B, C, D, and E is even better! Xuma suggests being like Bruce Lee, who didn’t just one martial art style for himself, but a collection of various ones. In the end, when he became a star, Lee didn’t practice just one style; he practiced so many, that he didn’t really have any one style. He just did what fit him. So it should be for you. You should be the Bruce Lee of relationships! And, just like Coca-Cola: “Always the real thing.” James Brito, bestselling author of “How to Be Irresistible to Women”, regularly explores topics of female attraction. Since 2000, he has helped thousands of men around the world build confidence and get the women they deserve.

Marriage Relationships Might Likely Fail Without Love and Agreement As The Foundation

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

By Tony Tate Many people enter into relationships as a result of dating. And most people enter marital relationships as a result of having sex. What they are missing is the agreement. The agreement is to love one another through thick and then, hard times, good times, and whatever else may come their way. Marriages dont last long today because we get married for the wrong reasons. We dont marry because of love or an agreement to love. We make agreements during the ceremony but it is not taken seriously. If it were maybe people would sue the other party for not keeping their end of the agreement. It would seem that people dont really know why they got married. Theyve been having sex, so marriage seems like the next step. Some people are not even sure as they are standing there reciting the vow to love through thick and then and all that other stuff. You are making an agreement, a covenant that should not be broken until death separates you. Marital Agreement A marital agreement is like any other agreement. No two people can walk together unless they agree to do so. No team shall succeed unless there is an agreement to work together. This is the foundation of the team. No two people can remain married unless there is an agreement. I am not saying that married people dont ever disagree. I am saying about the marriage and commitment that there is an agreement to love and not quit. If you dont agree on several foundational levels then you should not move to a marital status. It is hard to know if you agree on other levels if you are having sex before marriage. Sex has taken the forefront of the relationship and has taken away your ability to make sound decisions. All you know is that youve got to have more sex. The marriage will not survive on just sex. Without love and an agreement in place a simple disagreement has the potential to end the relationship. Relationship is about the agreement. Ever wonder how back about 100 years ago people were able to stay together. It is because they took serious the agreement they made when they got married. Almost no one had sex before marriage. With the so called sexual freedom we have today the divorce rate is skyrocketing. When people get married with sex as the foundation it is likely they don’t even know one another as well as they should. This is why people say - “my husband or wife changed after we got married.” They didn’t really change. You just failed to get to know them. Dating The time you spend dating is extremely important. This is the time that you spend getting to know the person you think you may be falling in love with. You MUST resist the urge to jump into bed BASED ON HOW YOU FEEL. Feelings change. You absolutely must figure out if you can live with this person based on how you get along, your common beliefs, habits, like, dislikes and a whole list of other things. Trust me - if you get to know someone and all of their quirks and weird habits and you still are attracted - the sex AFTER marriage will only help to make the relationship even better. Do yourself a favor and get married based on marital agreement with love as the foundation of your relationship. Sex is not a good foundation on which to build a marital relationship or any other relationship.

10 Tips For Posting Online Personal Profile Photos

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

By Chet Rowland You join a dating personals site because you want to meet a woman, so first impressions mean everything. The photos you post can have a major impact on the type of women you attract. Here are ten tips for posting photos on you online personal profile: 1. Use current photos this sounds like a no-brainer, but many people are guilty of posting photos from many years ago or even photos from a few months ago when they were many pounds lighter. You want to represent who you are and this means current photos. 2. Do not use glamour shots Many women are guilty of this, but surprisingly there are also many men who make this mistake. Glamour shots do not represent who you are every day. They are made up photos that are usually deceiving. 3. Quality over quantity Dont post a ton of bad photos just to add bulk. It is better to have a few good photos than a bunch of bad ones. Be sure the photos are clear and close up. Pictures taken from 20 feet or more away could be of anyone. They are too far away to be able to see what a person really looks like. Good lighting really makes a difference. 4. Smile for the camera So many people post photos of themselves without a smile. This makes people wonder if you have something to hide or if you are not a happy person. If you do not like your smile, try some teeth whiteners. They are inexpensive and really make a difference. 5. Dont use pictures with large groups of people When you put too many people in the photo it is difficult to figure out which one is you. You also dont want the person looking at the photo to desire someone else in the photo rather than you. You want to keep the focus on you. 6. No vulgarity Sometimes you may have some funny pictures, but they dont make the best first impression. What may seem humorous to you may offend others. Despite what your ego might tell you, women do not want to see naked body parts. 7. Primary photo should be your best The primary photo on your profile should be a good close-up of you by yourself. This is the most important photo you will post since it the one people will base their first impression on. 8. Dress the part This is not the time to wear your favorite T-shirt and sweats. Put on clothing that flatters. 9. Show what you tell Whatever you have described in your profile should be reflected in your photos. If you say you are an avid mountain climber, include photos of you in action. This adds credibility to what you say. 10. No photos with women Unless you have a photo of you with your mom, dont include photos of you with other women, even if it is your sister. Women will assume it is an ex-girlfriend and it is a big turn-off. The photos you post are important to your success with online dating sites. The worst thing you can do is not post a photo at all. Most women wont even look at profiles if they do not include a photo. Make it a habit to carry a camera everywhere you go and get someone to take pictures of you doing the things you enjoy.
