By Gail Faulkner Have you ever heard off or seen a sooky doll. These are dolls that look like real children that stand in a corner sulking hence the name sooky doll. These dolls are very easy to make and make great gift ideas. I have seen a lot of Sooky Dolls made in a variety of different ways. I choose to make them sturdy, very durable and changeable. These dolls are interchangeable, if the clothes they are wearing become dusty or dirty or even tiresome to the eye. Simply change the way they look just like you would with a small child. These Sooky dolls are made so that it is as simple to change them as it is a small child. This gives variety. These dolls are made up of a body, a head, legs, and arms. The body and the legs are made of wood, the head is a Styrofoam ball and the arms are made of wire. The clothes are a babies size 1, a pair of childrens shoes, a cap or hat of your choice generally a baseball cap and a pair of babys cotton mittens. The body is well padded with wadding and glued together with craft glue or hot glue from a craft store. The first thing is to assemble the body. It is made up of 2 pieces of wood, the body and the legs. The wire is inserted into a hole near the top of the body to form the arms. The next step is to wrap the wadding around the legs and the body to form the padding and then glued in place. Be generous with your padding. You can make it as thick or as thin as you like depending on the size of the clothing. Once the body and legs have been padded you also need to pad the arms. Bend the wire to the size you require and then wrap the padding around the wire all the way from the loop at the bottom to the top of the shoulder. Ok the next step is to attach the head, cover the padding and dress the Sooky Doll. To attach the head you need to hammer a large thick nail into the top of the body. Make sure you place the nail in the center. Cover the nail with lots of glue and firmly place the foam ball on the nail and push the head into place. Now you need to cover the padding with stockings or hosiery. Cover the body, legs and arms of the sooky doll with the stockings, make sure to stretch firmly and glue into place. When choosing the outfit for the sooky doll you can be creative as you like. The cotton mittens are used for the hands. You will also need to make sure you either have a long sleeved top or add a skivvy under the outfit to cover the arms especially when making a girl doll. You need to always have some sort of hat on the doll as there is no face because they stand in a corner. Be creative. Congratulations you have made yourself a Sooky Doll. Now stand the doll in a corner for all your friends and family to admire.

Ayurvedic Medicine - A Brief Introduction
By Michelle Ludick Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that means knowledge of life. Broken down Ayus means life and vedas means knowledge. Ayurvedic Medicine is a form of Alternative medicine. It is Traditional Indian Medicine that scholars seem to be in a debate about over when it actually began. The general consensus is that it began roughly 4000 to 5000 years ago. Scholars have gone on to say that Ayurvedic Medicine is the oldest form of medicine around and that it was what influenced Greek medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Due to this claim, Ayurvedic Medicine has been labeled the Mother of all Healing. It is the art of balance and longevity. Ayurvedic Medicine in the beginning is not easy to understand due to all the strange terminologies but once you get used to it, it does become easier. Ayurveda has its roots in an ancient religion. That religion is Hinduism. To begin with and then for many years the practices of Ayurveda was passed down via word of mouth. When it was first written it was originally written on palm leaves and then it was later recorded into manuscripts. These medical manuals on Ayurveda are called Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. These books are rooted in early Vedic culture. This culture is inherently spiritual, focusing on love, philosophy and Universal Truths. Charaka Samhita is written in early Sanskrit and there seems to be great debate over where it originated from. Some say that it was started by a man named Charaka and added on by others during the course of time. Yet others have said that there is no particular author and more than one author that has contributed to it. Charaka is said to mean wandering physicians and Samhita means collected. Some have gone so far as to say that it was just written by Charaka and it was what he knew which had been passed down to him by the Hindu god Indra. Charaka writings look at the internal and external causes of illnesses. It is central to the practice of Ayuervic Medicine today. Sushruta was a surgeon who in his book described over 120 surgical instruments and 300 surgical procedures. He also went on to classify surgery into 8 different categories. Due to Sushrutas contribution to the science of surgery he is known as the Father of Surgery. He is also said to have laid the foundation of plastic surgery as he was apparently the first to conduct cosmetic surgery on the nose. Punishment of adulterers was that their nose would be cut off so surgical measures were needed to repair these disfigured faces. Some of these surgeries were successful as far back as 3000 years ago. His works go further than just surgery, it also discusses, burns, fractures, amputations, biology, midwifery, hygiene and it has included in it a complete discussion on the human anatomy. In Ayurveda a person is not just seen as a body and mind but rather an entity that is inclusive of a spiritual dimension. To live in harmony with the cosmic law is to live the Ayurvedic way of life. According to Ayurvedic Medicine we are all created by the cosmos as either male energy (Purusha) or female energy (Prakruti). Purusha is passive awareness and Prakuti is an active consciousness. It is rather holistic in its concept as a balance between the body, mind and spirit is tried to be maintained. This is done through having the right thoughts, diet and lifestyle. The body is said to be composed of five basic elements which is called Panchamahabhootas, this is divided into space (Akasha), air (Vayu), water (Apa), fire (Tejas) and earth (Prithvi). These five elements are encoded (in different combinations) into three biological forces which govern all life processes. These are the tridoshas (energetic forces) and they are what explain the functionality of the body. The tridoshas are what are responsible for all movement, transformations and sensory functions in the body. These Tridoshas are divided into three doshas which are called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Space and air constitute Vata, it comes from a Sanskrit word which means that which moves things. Thus we see that it is what moves things in the body and mind. It controls the flow of blood, respiration, and the heartbeat plus it eliminates all waste. It also controls muscle movement and relays all sensory input from various organs to the brain and back again. It is said to be the most powerful of the doshas as it is the moving force between the other two. Without Vata, Pitta and Kapha might as well not exist. If it is out of balance then it can lead the other two doshas to follow suit. Fire and water make up Pitta, the Sanskrit word for Pitta is said to mean to shine. It is what controls heat and the bodies metabolism. Through this we are able to digest our food and turn it into whatever it is needed for. It maintains the bodys temperature and is what drives our appetite for food and water. It is also said to be what helps us determine what is right and what is wrong and gives us the courage we may need to handle a situation. Water and earth make up Kapha, the Sanskrit word means that which holds things together. It governs all structure and lubrication in the body. Cerebral Spinal fluid for example is what protects the brain and spinal column. It is a type of Kapha dosha that you get. Kapha also controls weight, growth and lubrication of the joints. It is what gives you your physical strength and provides your mass and body structure. It is also said to be what governs your ability to produce children. These doshas are said to exist in every cell, tissue and organ of the body. People are a mixture of dosha yet some dosha will be more prevelant in one person than in another. We are all a unique mixture of dosha as the quality, quantity and action differs in the physiology of one person to the next. Generally we are a combination of two doshas, in some instances we are dominated by one dosha while in rare cases there are those that are a good mixture of all three doshas. These doshas predetermine our constitution and our susceptibility to disease. Then you get Manasika Dosha which focuses more on the qualities of the mind. The focus through all of this is on bringing about a balance of these life energies within us. Not just on a physical level but on a emotional and mental level too. This is due to the strong connection that exists between the mind and the body. The body not only controls ones thoughts but it governs the things that we take for granted. Respiration and blood circulation is one of the things we are not consciously aware of. In Ayuervedic Medicine it becomes imperative that one understands what brings about the balance and what puts the balance into total disarray. Physically, mentally, socially and spiritually we have to be in harmony. An increase or decrease of the qualities that make up these doshas are what brings about the imbalance. A natural imbalance is due to time and age which do not cause too many problems, at least problems that can be easily rectified. In the case of an unnatural imbalance the problems may be more serious and so more attention will need to be applied. These imbalances may be due to inappropriate diet, lifestyle, a traumatic experience or viruses and parasites. Ayurveda consists of many different components which are to bring these doshas back into balance. Some of which include meditation, herbal preperation, diet, pulse diagnosis and yoga. Ayurvedic Medicine is made from herbs or a mixture of herbs. The mixture is a combination of one or more of the following; herbs, minerals, metals, animals. These go through a purification process before used for medicinal purposes. When it is used it is done so in precise measures for the best results. In Ayurvedic Medicine the diet it is dependant on many different things. The taste of the food (Sweet, Salty, Sour, Pungent, Bitter and Astringent) for example and how it will affect the body is taken into consideration. Cooling the body, heating the body and post digestive affects are all things that are needed to be considered when choosing the correct diet. Certain raw foods have cleansing and energizing affects. Some of the food eaten raw aids in digestion and destroys toxins. Certain cooked foods provide long term tissue building energy and certain Ayurvedic cooking uses herbs and spices to help stimulate the body into producing its own digestive enzymes and enzymes for best absorption. Even the mood and feelings you have need to be happy and blissful as it affects the outcome of what the person takes in when eating the meal. The food that is best for your body is what will provide for you not just the best in nourishment but it will provide the best for you in spiritual and mental spheres to. Even though Ayurvedic Medicine is under a lot of skeptism, when practiced in the West, it is also been said to be rather successful when dealing with digestive disorders, skin problems, gynecological problems and in alleviating congested sinuses and stress. All this being said success in Ayurvedic Medicine depends on four factors. 1) The physician. He needs to have a clear grasp of the Ayurvedic theory, a wide range of experience, skills and cleanliness. 2) Medicine or diet. It needs to be of good quality, in abundance and applicable in its treatment. 3) The nurse. The first nursing schools seemed to be started in ancient India due to Ayurvedic medicine. The nurses were originally men that were of good behavior and were skilled of every service that the patient may require. Cleanliness and efficiency were required attributes. Those services that were needed ranged from bathing the patient, cooking food (which is considered a sacred act), cleaning the beds, massaging the limbs and generally willing and able to do whatever was asked of him. And last but not least, the patient. The patient needs to be of good memory, be able to describe in detail their symptoms and be obedient in following the instructions of the doctor.

I Love Dental Floss - Dentists Love Dental Floss and Why You Should Too!
By Abbie Frank Everytime I go in to see the dentist for that annual cleaning I hear the same thing. "You only need to floss the ones that you want to keep" I think it's the joke of the industry and everyone uses it. Still, there's something very important in the statement. You see, I'm the guy that simply loves to floss my teeth. In the car, at home watching television, and of course every evening after a good and thorough brushing. If you're not in love with dental floss, then you probably don't realize not only how important it is for good oral hygiene but also how great it makes your teeth feel. Consider teeth like boxes stacked up against each other. Two sides show while two sides are against each other. Now imagine how much a tooth brush can clean those two sides of your teeth that are against one another. Not much, right? Brushing alone simply isn't enough to reach the plaque from the inside surface between your teeth. The Interproximal areas or places between your teeth and below the gum line are two spots where the toothbrush simply can't reach and old food particles get stuck, becoming a perfect growth environment for plaque. These are the places where cavities are also likely to develop. Once plaque hardens, it needs removed at that regular visit to the dentist I was telling you about above. Daily flossing however, cleans out the plaque before it completely hardens, keeping your teeth looking better, and healthier, and removing a major cause of bad breath. Drumroll please......So Enter Dental Floss and the act of flossing. Dental floss looks simply like thread, usually made of inorganic material such as nylon. Dental floss comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes including waxed, non-waxed, flat, round and textured, with baking soda, with fluoride and even with it's own dental floss holders. These items can be found at drug stores, grocery stores or through medical supply stores. So when flossing, find one that you like. My personal favorite is mint flavored waxed. Boy, you just can't beat the ease of use and minty flavor. Anyway....Dental floss comes on a roll in a plastic container. Pull off a couple of feet of floss. Hey, it's cheap and it makes the job much easier. Next, wind one end around your index finger a couple of times. The trick here is to wind it around enough that you can pull the long end and it won't slip off your finger. Now grasp the long end, wrap it once or twice around your other index finger leaving about 1-2 inches of floss between both fingers and prepare for a wonderful experience. Simply open your mouth, place one finger against the 1-2 inch piece of floss and push between two teeth. When just starting out, use any teeth that you're comfortable reaching. Now once the floss is between your teeth, use it like a little brush and pull it against one tooth and move it up and down between the teeth then do the other tooth surface. Finally pull the dental floss out from between those two teeth.You should feel a little tug and a snap as the floss frees itself from between the two teeth. Sometimes with a good build up of plaque, this snap will release little pieces of white like goo. This is good. Next, wrap another two inches of floss around your index finger, grab the long end again with another inch or two of clean dental floss and you're ready for the next teeth. Repeat with another two teeth until you go around and clean between all of them. personally, I can do several teeth before I need to "freshen" my floss. Flossing leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh without the need to artificial breath fresheners. If done right with healthy teeth and gums, flossing will not by itself cause your mouth or gums to bleed. Bleeding can happen however if you accidentally push the floss into your gums to hard. Not to worry though, a quick rinse with cold water will usually take care of everything. One final word of caution. Flossing can be addictive Abigail Franks writes on a variety of subjects such as home, family, and health.

Sacred Love - Where are You Coming From? Are You Turning Up in Love?
By Christopher Walker Have you recently stopped the rush and considered this question? Are you coming from loneliness, and therefore seeking companionship? Are you coming from anger, and therefore determined to make it in the world? Are you coming from smallness, feeling rejected, and therefore always trying to prove yourself? As a leader, and a lover, it is wise to know where you are coming from in relationships with people. As you know already from your reading, you cant manage relationship if you cant manage yourself. You cant know someone else if you dont know yourself. Otherwise, you will just be projecting onto people, and wont know anything about your reality or your truth or love. It doesnt matter whether it is your relationships, your friendships, your finances or your work; you come from the same place in all of them. That is a vital awareness. Some people come from kindness, some from authority, some from mothering, and some from fathering. Where we come from in our relationships with people seems to fluctuate, but this is not true. Sometimes the person we are interacting with accentuates where we are coming from. Alone, we can be an angel. Even traveling from one place to another, being very busy, we hardly have time to stop and experience the affect of our own thinking and feeling. We love and leave and run to the next because we are hurt or afraid. But when we become attached to someone, it is different For example, when we are in a relationship with someone who we really want to like us, even at work or in a love relationship, we can be very deceptive because we are trying not to offend that person. So we put on an act in order to get this person to do something. We cant trust just being our real self; we bundle up our secrets, hide ourselves, even from our children, so these relationships accentuated our shame - and this is healthy, because how else will we know our shame? Its the same when we do things we are not proud of, and then keep it a secret from our children, because we teach them to have shame too. They know there is something hidden in the closet. So they copy, and learn to be personally corrupt too. When we live two lives, we are coming from shame the whole time, but until we met someone we really want to be with, and became attached to that person in some sort of human dynamic, were not aware of our shame. Nasty people, people who are moody and attacking, are coming from a place of feeling small, irrelevant and so they fear being made redundant. Feeling small is behind so much attention seeking. Feeling small. Kind people, those who might be tough on the surface, but generous at heart, are coming from feeling rejected, they want acceptance. This is a wonderful twist of fate - a disaster in one experience can produce a giving individual in the world. Once you know where you are coming from, then you can simply know where others are coming from. And when you know where a person is coming from, their reactions to you, and the stresses of their life, can be totally understood. Remember, peoples behavior is totally predictable, and when you can understand the way people act and react, it is easier to work with them, and certainly easier to live with them. There is order in the chaos. The universe is predictable, nature is predictable, your life is predictable and your relationships are predictable. It is a very beautiful awareness to see how everything in the universe operates according to very simple laws. Our ego tries to defy those laws, this is called emotion, but we cant defy a universal law. Universal law even affects the cells in our body, and the color of our hair, and the dynamics in our relationships. It is a chemical thing, a construction of energies. So, all the suffering we experience comes from the ego, defying nature. This is called pain. To understand something is to see beauty in it. The materialist will look at the world and see acceptable and unacceptable. They will divide life into these two groups, attracted to one, and avoiding (or trying to change) the other. That is the materialist life, more acceptable, less unacceptable. Materially, this is a powerful way to think because it is the mindset that causes us to accumulates things. So if you want a lot of wealth, you can use this mindset to make it happen. The keys are greed, self- importance, fear of failure, ambition and drive. Sadly there is one thing lacking in that materialist life, and that is true happiness. Happiness comes from the spiritual perspective, which is the opposite of the material perspective. So now we have the real dilemma. To own a house, educate ourselves, educate our children, hold down a job, and lead a company, we need our ego. But the soul of humanity is not made happy by those achievements. Not deeply happy, because they are dual. For every achievement there is a downside. For every dollar of wealth there is a worry. For every new piece of knowledge, there is the conflict of the old knowledge. So the material life is filled with material achievements in which a person thinks, disillusioned, that once they get something, then they will be happy. But every something they get has duality, two sides. From a distance, a new relationship looks like paradise. But inside that new relationship there is also hell. Our delusional mind - the ego - thinks once we get something sorted out, we will be ok, but we are not. We are ok and we are not ok. Same as before, just in a new place. I remember climbing my first trek peak in Nepal. At the bottom I was unhappy, then I got to the top, was and I was happy, but now I was cold and tired. And soon the unhappiness that I experienced at the bottom took over again. So, standing there on top of the mountain, I was left with the idea that I had to create a new challenge for myself, so that I could run away from this unhappiness to another peak. In the spiritual perspective there is happiness everywhere. There is order in chaos, so even a bad situation is made to be good. This order turns both the unacceptable and the acceptable into beauty. Then there is simply love, because there is the ability to see both the bad side and the good side of everything. Then that love is not dependent on something happening, or people living up or down to your expectations; no matter what happens, love is there. There is no need to run away from situations, you can simply define them as healthy and unhealthy. Spiritually, love means deep happiness. Happiness comes from peace of mind. Peace of mind comes from an inner smile, a stillness. In turn stillness comes from contentment, and contentment comes when we do not want to change anything. So when all is perfect as it is, then there is contentment, stillness, an inner smile, peace of mind, and all this leads to happiness. Happiness for the materialist is defined as pleasure. Something makes us happy. But happiness to the spiritual person is not pleasure. Happiness is where the spiritual person comes from. They come from happiness, because they see beauty, they feel content, they do not want to change anything and therefore have peace of mind. Love can only flow from a mind that is at peace with itself. This does not mean the mind has stopped thinking; it has simply come to rest. It is working intensely, focused, but is not stressed, worried. So, it is absolutely possible to be both a materialist, and a spiritual person at once. The material perspective is the external, and the spiritual perspective is the internal one. Spiritual means, Where you come from. It does not affect where others come from, only your ability to see order in the chaos, understand other perspectives, and more importantly see where others come from. Spiritual perspective is achievable while leading the largest or smallest team in business, but most importantly, it is where your heart must sit in a sacred loving relationship. The real question in all of this is Where do you come from? If you are always thinking How do I get more money, how do I get more wealth, how can I pay my rent? then you will be in a very material lifestyle. No matter how much yoga or meditation you do, if you are asking how do I get more of anything, you are being material. Like how do I get more love? How do I get more income? How do I get more sex? How do I get more people to my Yoga class? How do I get more happiness for my friends? How do I get more peace on earth? These are the questions of the materialist mind. No matter what your idea about the value of what you are doing wanting more of anything, always leads to a form of unhappiness in you and those people you are trying to help. It means that if you are coming from a position of wanting to change anything at all, you are coming from fear. You fear what is, and want to change it. This means the material mind has taken over; even your spiritual practice has become a material practice. There can be no peace in that heart, because it is wanting, wanting, wanting. Wanting even to breathe better is wanting. And in that wanting there is a corruption to the spiritual side. If you come from the spiritual perspective you come from Loving Kindness. You do not want anything. You are coming from Loving Kindness and trusting that what you do will find its own truth. If you hurt someone, but you are coming from loving kindness, then that hurt is not your doing, it is the way your actions are received that caused hurt, not your intention. This is very important to understand. Sometimes you need to consider healthy and unhealthy people. They might be angry, bitter, and upset and you dont want to feed them energy by reacting to them. So by spiritual perspectives, you treat everyone with the same, loving-kindness. Then, you might draw a line in the sand and say, with loving-kindness, I do not want anything from you. If that person is hurt then it is not your doing, it is their receiving. And nature has a plan for them too. Where are you coming from? You can build a billion dollar empire, a sacred loving relationship and, with a spiritual perspective, also, find happiness. The key is the ability to know yourself, your energy and your ego, and understand the difference between these aspects and true love. In the extreme this is called healing, and in the everyday life, is called a spiritual perspective. Chris Walker is a world leading change agent, an environmentalist and author of more than 20 books.

Weight Loss System - European Pole Walking
By Donovan Baldwin I'm not one to latch onto fads. I tend to favor tried and true methods, such as walking, but I am always interested in new exercise techniques that might enhance the results. I am even more interested in new approaches that may help those with physical problems enter mainstream physical fitness more easily. So, when my wife showed me an article in a magazine about what they called, "pole walking", I did a little digging. Here's what I found out. This is what is often called "Nordic walking". It is, put as simply as possible, the technique of walking with what resembles a pair of ski poles. As with skiing, the walker alternately moves the poles as he or she walks. Obviously, there is a "best" technique, but it's a little complicated to describe here. However, the basic method is first to grip each pole firmly but not tensely. Then, keeping the arms straight, swing your arms to approximately waist height and holding the poles diagonally behind you, help propel yourself forward alternating your right and left poles as you walk. What has developed as an activity in its own right, Nordic walking was originally a means by which Finnish skiers could maintain fitness and ability during the off-season. Just as they skied on snow, they would walk on land, helping to propel themselves with poles. Obviously, these used in the sport are NOT ski poles. They are specially made and can cost anywhere from about $40 to over $200 per pair. You can determine optimum pole length by multiplying your height in inches by .72. The poles are adjustable. So, what are the results of proper pole walking? Well, among many research groups and facilities, the Cooper Institute in Dallas, tested the pole walking technique. Here are a few things they and others found out about pole walking. 1. Using the poles encourages the use of more muscles in the walking process, thus allowing you to burn fat more effectively. 2. The poles help take pressure off of joints, feet, back, etc. Once accustomed to the process, people report feeling better walking with them than without them. 3. Studies have shown that people walking with poles tend to lose more weight more rapidly than those simply walking. In fact, some studies indicate that pole walking may burn as much as 50% more calories than simply walking for exercise or weight loss. Nordic walking has been popular in Europe for some time, and there actually is an organization dedicated to the activity - the International Nordic Walking Association. You can find their website at inwa.nordicwalking.com/. Will pole walking work for you? Well, YOU won't know until you try it, but if it was good enough for Olympic level athletes, it's good enough for me. I guess I'll be getting a pair of poles and trying it out.

He is a University of West Florida alumnus, a member of Mensa and the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, and is retired from the U. S. Army after 21 years of service. In his career, he has held many managerial and supervisory positions. However, his main pleasures have long been writing, nature, health, and fitness. In the last few years, he has been able to combine these pleasures by writing poetry and articles on subjects such as health, fitness, yoga, weightlifting, weight loss, the environment, global warming, happiness, self improvement, life and the arts.

Marketing 'Gurus': Do You Need One?
By Priya Shah It's become fashionable to bash marketing "gurus" nowadays. There are some for whom the prospect of even looking at someone as a "guru" is a sin. They believe in being free-thinkers, unfettered by the bonds of guru-dom. Then there are those who try to score points by "proving" gurus wrong. They think they have achieved a new high in their field just by proving that a "guru" made a false statement. The problem with such people is that they refuse to understand "gurus" for what they are. So just what IS a guru (marketing or otherwise)? To put it simply, a guru is someone who has "been there, done that." A guru is not one who is meant to be followed like a sheep, nor one whose every word is written in stone. Of the letters in the Sanskrit word "Guru ", the letter 'Gu' stands for darkness or ignorance; and the letter 'Ru' stands for the one who removes it or dispels it. A guru is one who imparts knowledge that clears the path of the seeker. Knowledge that helps the seeker gain a better understanding of himself. Unfortunately many people see gurus - and marketing gurus in particular - as successful, over-bearing, conceited boors. Trust me, if a person was successful in this field, he'd never have got there by being over-bearing and conceited. Why? Because to be a success, you need other people to help you get there. And no one is going to do business with you if you're an over-bearing, conceited boor. So just why do you need a guru? For the same reason you need a parent - to guide you when you are young and still learning the ways of the world. For the same reason you need a teacher - to introduce you to new concepts and ways of thinking you may never have conceived of. For the same reason you need a football coach - to teach you the rules of the game. For the same reason you need a mountain guide - to take you through treacherous terrain to a safer place. Sadly, people only perceive gurus as someone to look up to with fear and disdain, or as someone to pull down so that one can feel important. They can never understand that a guru (or mentor, or teacher, or whatever you choose to call them) is just someone who can help cut their learning curve. Someone who can help you NOT re-invent the wheel, but continue where they left off. Someone who could share with you a new way of doing things that could benefit you in ways you could never imagine. Few 'real' gurus - at least those worth learning from - will ever want to be called that. The ones who do are usually cocky, self-professed types, full of their own importance - and you'll learn more by avoiding them like the plague. The gurus to watch (note, I didn't say follow - as in sheep) and learn from, are the ones with a long track record of success. The ones who have repeatedly proved that their methods are legitimate and that they work. Not the flash-in-the-pan types, who come and go faster than you can say "bestselling ebook." Not the ones who jump from one opportunity to the next and try to take you along for the ride. Not the ones who endorse everything from lunar real-estate to miracle cure-alls. And certainly not cocky little teenagers, who have never cut their teeth on real marketing. Don't expect your chosen guru to know everything about everything. Even gurus specialize in different areas of expertise. Just to give you an example, I respect Corey Rudl highly for his pioneering knowledge of marketing. But I would never take advice from him on getting high rankings in search engines. For specialized knowledge like that, I would learn from someone who is a true expert in that field, like Dan Thies or Michael Campbell. Whether you're a newbie starting out on the internet, or an experienced marketer who has honed his skills to perfection, the one thing you can always benefit from is an open mind. And a willingness to be taught. So when you do choose a guru, guide, mentor or coach, pick one whose insight can help you see yourself - and what you have to offer - more clearly. One whose knowledge can show you how to bring out your own latent talents. And one whose guidance can help you grow into a seasoned and successful entrepreneur.

June Weddings
By Gary E. Anderson From the book Spiders Big Catch As June wraps its arms around us like the warm hug of a favorite aunt, I begin to think about weddings. I've been a musician for thirty years, and I've played at scores of weddings and receptions, sometimes more than once for the same person. It was a way to make a livingthe money was good and there was usually decent food. As a wedding soloist, Id sit off to the side, watching brides in white dresses and grooms in rented tuxedos promise to love each other forever. But somehow, I couldnt shake a sadness that always hung over me as I watched, knowing that one in every two marriages will fail. I cant explain it, but over the years, I developed an eye for knowing whether a couple was going to make it or not. There was just something about the way the bride and groom related to each otherthe look in their eyes and their body languagethat offered clues as to how their marriage was going to turn out. Then one afternoon, while our band was playing for a large reception in a small town ballroom, I casually looked across the vast sea of people. My glance moved from table to table, until I saw the bride and groom, sitting alone in a corner. They were sitting in total ease, holding hands, saying nothing. Her flowing white dress and his tuxedo seemed out of place, but their happiness and comfort with each other was totally apparent. There was no question that those two people belonged together. They wouldve been sitting there in those same two chairs, still holding hands in exactly the same way, if theyd been wearing blue jeans and overalls at someone elses reception. They were at a party, to be surea big, loud party. But the party was really for the benefit of everyone else in attendance. They were totally comfortable just sitting in their corner, out of the limelight, watching the people they loved having a good time. As cynical as Id become over the years, something struck me at that moment as I watched that couple. I realized that weddings actually represent the triumph of the human spirit. Every marriage is a public statement by two people, letting the whole world know that together, they choose to believe that their union will be the one-in-two that lasts. When thought of in that way, every wedding really symbolizes a victory of hopein the face of all odds. Sure, itll take all their courage and strength to succeed, but no matter what, couples continue to try. They know the statistics are against thembut they look straight into the eyes of the odds makers and say, So what? And why not? Throughout history, people have staked their fortunes, and sometimes their very lives, on less than a 50-50 chance. Maybe thats why we hold so many weddings in the month of June. Its a month that can be unpredictablefull of warmth and promise one minute, and then suddenly becoming stormy and filled with uncertainty. As for me, since seeing that couple, holding hands at their reception, Ive begun singing my wedding solos with a renewed hopeembodied by two people at the altar, vowing to face their future together, in spite of overwhelming odds. 2004.

Which Loan To Use?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Kenny]Peter Kenny Need to borrow some money then a personal loan maybe for you, most people take a personal loan for home improvements, to purchase a car and holidays. Loans are very simple you borrow a sum of money and pay it back over a period of time say anywhere between 6months to 10 years. Interest rates on a personal loan are usually at a fixed rate for the lifetime of the loan, this is great, as you know your repayment every month. In the past most people went to their bank for loans, but know the competition is really heating up. The Internet offers some great deals; also have a look in the newspapers and on TV. There has never been a better time to pick up a personal loan, as all the lenders are looking for your business. There are two different types of loans! Secured this loan is usually secured by your home which means if you fail to make the repayments, you could lose your home. On the up side secured loans do offer cheaper interest rates, if you decide to take a secured loan please make doubly sure you can afford your repayments. Unsecured this loan means your home is safe if you fail to pay back your loan, youll find it hard to get any more credit, as your credit rating would be poor. Interest rates are usually higher with an unsecured loan as the lender is taking a higher risk in getting their money back. Loans are much like mortgages its the interest that youre paying back at the start, the loan is paid further down the line. One thing to watch out for is if you pay off your loan earlier than agreed you could face penalties. You could be asked to pay back the interest for two or three months, not all companies charge this so best check. Most loan companies will offer you PPI (payment protection insurance) they will tell you that you need it, and that if youre off sick, have an accident or become unemployed they will help to pay your repayments. This is not always the case so please check with your lender as you could end up costing yourself a lot of money, and get nothing back if the unthinkable happened. So secured or unsecured personal loans which one is best! The two of them really as it all depends on your circumstances. Secured you put your home at risk if you fail to keep up the repayments, but the interest rates are much cheaper. Unsecured youll get a bad credit rating if you fail to keep up the repayments, but the interest rates are much higher. One other thing to remember with regard to a secured loan is that it is as it says, secured, and if you do not keep up repayments you could lose your home. Your home is normally used as collateral against a secured home.

What's Missing From Your Backyard?
By Christopher W Smith What quality of water just makes it so good to look at? For countless centuries, people have been looking at bodies of water and have been inspired by the beauty of them. Water is both life and an inspiration for living. It embodies what we all must achieve. People who look at fountains and waterfalls just find themselves more relaxed because of the sights. This is the reason why more and more people turn to rock waterfall creations. The natural formations of moving water are magical, powerful and cleansing. Being in the presence of waterfalls is inspiring, peaceful and meditative. It's incredible how we naturally experience a sense of inner peace and calmness whenever we are around flowing water. The feeling one can experience in the presence of a waterfall is truly beautiful, and with a rock waterfall creation, you can have all of this in your very own home! The essence of water and its beautiful patterns has captivated the world and many cultures over the centuries, all which share an appreciation of the power of water. Individually, we all connect with nature in our own ways, and those who don't take the time to do so experience higher levels of stress and feeling disconnected in their lives. Recognizing such beauty around us and the inspirational and spiritual benefits in nature is important if you want to succeed. Having a rock waterfall creation in your own backyard is a great way to remind yourself of this, even if you live in suburbia. People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Let us add to this adage by saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, but a miniature is worth a million. Having an artificial rock waterfall creation in your home gives you a sense of actually enjoying the impression that the beauty of an original waterfall gives you. There's no denying it: artificial rock waterfall creations both energize and relax the spirit. Many people would think that these two opposite effects are impossible to achieve at once. However, when you watch that water in constant motion, you will realize that the eye of the paradox allows both these effects to be achieved at once. An artificial rock waterfall creation allows you to enjoy nature right at your home. This means that you will be able to experience the healing effect of the beauty of the flowing water right from your own backyard. Artificial waterfalls are known to bring deep relaxation to you and your own environment, and they achieve the divine beauty and the effects that natural waterfalls make us feel. Like an artwork of nature, they provide a flowing freshness that re-energizes us emotionally, mentally and physically and creates an incredible dimension to ones own backyard. For some people, artificial waterfalls are made to imitate a resort, island or a healing retreat. Lots of people custom design their own, and there are many professional rock makers available. Information is also available on the internet about how to make your own sense of paradise and tranquility at home.

Etiquette on Sending Wedding Gifts
By Chrystal Holman Wedding is a time of joy for the couple, parents, family, friends, and even for the colleagues and acquaintances who are invited to attend the ceremony and reception. In order to celebrate the wedding everyone who attends traditionally will send or bring a gift. We all know when a gift is given it is usually the thought that matters and not the gift itself. However, giving the right wedding gifts is important. When two people get married they usually start a new life together in a new home and they have immediate needs that can be partially covered if the guests would send or bring the right gifts. These wedding gifts dont have to be very expensive. The thought that goes into picking the wedding gift is far more important. It does not help to send a gift that will be returned or tossed in a box. Here are a few pointers to wedding gifts etiquette that close family and friends will usually follow. Wedding gifts etiquette calls upon the couple to create a wedding gifts registry where they can list all the items they require and/or would like to receive. Family and friends can browse the registry and purchase gifts from the list. There is no price limit and there is no obligation in the wedding gifts etiquette. Nevertheless, if the guests stick to the list they will spend money on something that the couple truly need and will appreciate. If the couple does not create a wedding gift registry the wedding gift etiquette calls upon the good sense of all guests to find out as much as possible what the couple requires and what would be the best wedding gift, keeping in mind their budget. While wedding gift etiquette does not specify how much to spend, one needs to be sensible and keep in mind that it is a special day and the gifts received are a way to cherish and remember this special day. Another way to keep with the wedding gift etiquette is to give the couple a gift card and let them choose their gift of choice or put it towards something else they need. Weddings are the perfect time to show someone how much you care and love them by the gift you choose. Pick it with taste and send the gift to arrive a few days before the wedding. This way your gift can be added to the gifts presented by those who attended the wedding in person. Often, etiquette on sending wedding gifts has a lot to do with simple common sense. Chrystal Holman recommends these wedding favors and bridal gifts.

Understanding Tumescent Liposuction
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Tammy_Corbett] Tammy Corbett Tumescent liposuction is done using a local aesthetic. A large volume of saline solution containing the aesthetic and a drug called "Epinephrine" is injected directly into the areas where there are excessive fatty deposits. Epinephrine is important in the surgical process because it shrinks capillaries and minimizes blood loss. Minor sedation may be required for those who feel a little nervous about the surgery; however the patient is usually completely conscious during the surgery. Benefits of Having Tumescent Liposuction Fewer skin irregularities Less bleeding Reduced bruising Faster recovery Procedure A small incision is made in the skin, allowing the tube connected to a vacuum type machine to suck up the fat. The tumescent method uses smaller cannulae than that of any other type of liposuction which results in less bruising or bleeding. An elastic compression garment is worn to help the skin contract and heal. This helps to sculpt the bulging areas of the skin and help to achieve more attractive contours. There are risks associated with having any type of surgery. Tumescent liposuction is a very safe procedure with very few side effects. If the following types of side effects occur they are usually easily corrected. Skin irregularity Lumpiness Dimpling Loose skin Infections Tumescent Liposuction Recovery Recovery time varies dramatically from person to person. Many patients are able to walk out of the office without assistance and get back to a regular routine within a few days.
It takes almost six weeks for any scar to begin to soften and a full year to be complete. A patient may feel a little numbness in the area that has been treated because the local anaesthesia remains in the tissue for twenty-four hours or more after surgery. Most patients will usually only experience minor discomfort after the numbness wears off. Most patients are generally alert and able to function; they do not experience nausea and grogginess associated with general anaesthesia. The sooner a patient can begin to move around, the faster the healing progresses. Physical exercise is not recommended until at least a week after having the procedure.

Sony Ericsson K800i - Uncompromising Mobile Imaging
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Samuel_Herrick]Samuel Herrick Ericsson. Though there are other camera phones in the market today sporting even higher resolution cameras than the Sony Ericsson K800i, the handset's uncompromising imaging aids and tools together with an exhaustive feature list have made sure that the Sony Ericsson K800i remains at the top or thereabout. The handset's 3.2 megapixel camera module was the first to break the 3 megapixel mark. To keep the reputation of the brand Cyber Shot, the Sony Ericsson K800i is loaded with all popular features from Cyber Shot digital cameras apart from 'usual' camera phone features like digital zoom and autofocus. Endowed with a full fledged Xenon automatic flash with red eye reduction instead of cheaper LED variant, the Sony Ericsson K800i is a true 'all light imaging' device. BestPic a feature that takes a series of nine shots in one click was an instant hit with this Cyber Shot phone. The camera even records videos at 15 frames per second. The handset is equipped with image/video stabilizer to iron out minor shakes that are common in hand held cameras. Embedded 3G technology of the Sony Ericsson K800i enables it to perform high data transfer oriented video calls across UMTS networks. Triband GSM mobile network support ensures seamless voice connectivity in more than hundred countries across five continents. In absence of 3G networks, one can fall back to 'traditional' GPRS enabled data connectivity and surf and find relevant informations in the web. Local connectivity tools includes Bluetooth, Infrared and USB for quick transfer of file and synchronization of information. Use the Sony Ericsson K800i's 64 Mb internal memory to carry all your stuffs, including some of your favourite tracks to be played while you're on the road. After all, the on board media player with so many advanced functions is at par with the best music phones available today, and it would be a shame to let it remain idle for long.

Depression Hurts, but You can Beat It at Its Game
By Foras Aje Thank God we have problems. No, that is not a misprint friend. It is true. Why? Because it means we are still alive and guess what, it means you are being made stronger. Granted, we all have problems, some big, some small; all a source of worry, anxiety and maybe even sadness. It is part of living. The truth is it is how we handle our difficulties and problems that can make or break us as humans. Difficulties should act as a spur for action, according to Charles de Gaulle: "Difficulties attracts the man of character because it is in embracing it that he realizes himself!" As powerful a grip as depression may have on you, as much as depression hurts and can make things seem hopeless, remember the quote above and make the steps to belittle the strength of this enemy of your happiness, before this foe called depression hurts you. I believe its been said that we only use about 10% of our brain and maybe even less when it comes to our problems, which in turn aggravates how much depression hurts or seems to affect us. If you truly look within and reach for the strength that lies inside of all of us, you will see that most problems are really only bigger than what they are. Truthfully we magnify their effects with pessimistic and hopeless thoughts. Okay, Mr. Big Shot, you tell me how to go about overcoming my depression
I will do my best for you my friend, but promise that you will try what I tell you. To lessen the pain of depression and your problems, here are some tips for you. 1. Think positively thoughts as much as is humanly possible. Always believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Remember: As a man thinks in his heart, so is he If you think it that things will improve, fate and the life forces around will be at your disposal to aid you to succeed. 2. Watch what you utter and try as much as possible to say positive things about your life, the cause of your depression and situations. Death and Life is in the power of your tongue (words), those who love its fruits (aware of its consequences) will eat from it. (enjoyor well if negative, not enjoyit)
Speak to your situation by repeating positive affirmation aloud. 3. Assess your problems and DO something about it. Try to figure out why it
Occurred in the first place, learn from the situation and take the lesson as a learning experience you can draw from to make things better in the future. Now, since a common symptom of depression is a feeling of worthlessness, why not increase your self-worth and confidence by making yourself healthier. A healthy body equates to a healthy mind, and a healthy mind, friends, is a powerful one. Stronger than any hurt depression could bring your way, stronger than your problems, stronger than your pains. But, like any muscle, youve got to work at it to make it strong. I mentioned getting healthy. Well we all know how; through a proper diet and exercise. The former will nourish and make you literally feel great and the latter, especially in regards to depression will exercise the motor centers of the brain, making the blood flow away from the emotional activity center; consequently you become more receptive to positive thoughts, which by the way is the first step to healing depression there is a quote that supports this, it goes-Be transformed by the renewing of your thoughts
Say that over and over, until it seeks into your subconscious. For those who believe in the existence of the Unseen yet the Omnipotent and Present OneGod. A simple and straightforward prayer asking for His help can and will soothe the pain and challenges we may have to face in our lives. He has promised us two things when it comes to facing life's ups and downs: "He will never give us more than we can handle" and to "Fear not for I am with thee, be not dismayed for I am thy God, I will help thee and strengthen and I will uphold you with my victorious right Hand!". Indeed, these are powerful verses to keep in mind in coping with depression. Im not saying things will be instantly better, hey Rome wasnt built in a day friends. With anything in life, you have to work-not necessarily hard at it-but smarter and we all know you only get out of something what you put into it-actually, a lot more. Depression hurts, we know that; but now YOU can beat depression because you are stronger! You can make it if you try. Foras Aje is an independent health researcher and founder of Bodyhealthsoul.com.

Know your Man: His Mother
By Maria Moratto "He who takes the child by the hand takes the mother by the heart." Danish Proverb A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest." Irish Proverb In the movie Runaway Jury, Gene Hackmans character says to the cab driver: it is better to have an unhappy mother than to have an uncooperative wife. I fail to agree. A mans mother is untouchable. She stands on a pedestal and we should accept that. His mother is a great person, no matter what we think. She is also a great part of his life, or at least she should be. She is also a great cook, even if you cook better. Please, dont even think about criticizing his mother, because to begin with, you will make him mad; then you will only make him feel divided and miserable. He shouldnt have to choose between loving you and loving her, for it is totally unfair. His heart is big enough for these two distinct kinds of love. His love is big enough that he can give it to you, his children and his mother as well. It is devastating for him to see competition between the two of you, and you, being the younger of the two, please, learn to respect the person who raised him so he could be who he is for you. And, if you think you can do a better job parenting, do so with your children. My deceased mother-in-law, used to come to my house carrying a bag of old bread. She would hand it to me saying: Here. I know there is no food in this house. How did I feel about that? Furious. Though I now understand she was jealous of me, I could never understand why she was so mean. She hurt me more than once. Still, I should have been more careful when criticizing her to my ex-husband. Now, my living mother-in-law, on a visit, started cleaning my house her way, and scolded me saying that her son deserved a cleaner house. She didnt know my husband was the one doing the cleaning because I had to care for our infant. She hurt me. Still, I should have been more careful when criticizing her to my ex-husband. However, each of them was generous their own way. The American one, once traveled from Illinois to upstate New York on a huge moving truck, to bring us some inherited furniture from her family. I appreciated that then, as I do it now. It is all a matter of accepting such a special person as she is. Remember, we might be in the same shoes some day. As far as mother-in-laws go, I think the only one I know that was truly appreciated and loved by sons- and daughters-in law equally, was my mother. She knew how to please our husbands and wives, for she wanted to keep her family together. Up to date, there is not one ex-boy/girl friend or ex-wife/husband who cant help but remember her with the utmost care and love. I just wish Id do the same for my son. The concern of many mothers is that they feel they lose their children when they marry and that can be hard for them. Alex, my son, is only 16 and I am already telling him that I will not let him marry any girl; I need to approve. Of course, this is nave of me, and the way I am, I am not sure I will approve of anyone. Mothers are very endearing and can be very problematic and overbearing. Nevertheless, we need to learn to respect them for who they are. It is the least we need to do for our spouses. A joke for you:
Fred and his family were having dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Fred received his plate he started eating right away.
"Fred, wait until we say our prayer."
"I don't have to," the boy replied.
"Of course, you do," his mother insisted.
"We always say a prayer before eating at our house."
"But that's at our house," Fred explained, "this is Grandma's house, and she knows how to cook." A Word of Advice: Ladies and Gents: Never, ever, accept a negative criticism about your mother, even if it is true. It wont solve any problem; on the contrary, it may aggravate it. Do, however, hear what your spouse has to say in a very gentle way about your mother, and, if absolutely necessary, then, have them both speak with each other to solve their differences. Do not interfere or you will get hurt and you dont deserve that. Also, never, ever, forbid your children to visit their grandmothers, unless there is a history of drinking, drugs, violence, and/or neglected guns in their homes. Ladies: Encourage your man to visit his mother alone, every so often. She will be grateful and you will feel like a million dollars. Maria Moratto 2006

Get Back that White Bright Smile with the Teeth Whitening Systems at Home
By Vinodh Pushparaj There are many poets who have written about the power of the smile. A simple smile can turn a bad situation into a more manageable situation. Smile has the power to throw even the bullies off balance; such is the power of a good clean smile. Let me add, a good clean smile with a brighter teeth to support. How often have we seen in movies and television the stars sparkle because of that charming smile with those white sparkling tooth. Many have never thought about the idea of they too can have that smile, with the whiter teeth. Well there is help now a days, there are many great products out there that can whiten your teeth and bring them back to their natural shade at the minimum. You dont have to go to the dentist for the bleaching process; just at the comfort of your home you can administer the process without much fuss and mess. You can do this even under a tight budget with very little money shelled out from your pocket. The first and foremost to understand is that not everyones tooth is alike. Each person has a unique shade that can be matched to one of the many standard one. This is the first and foremost to really understand before setting up realistic goals. The first thing these products provide is remove the stains from the tooth. As years pass by the exposure to many staining substances cause the tooth to loose it original color, and without proper treatment they are not going to go off. The popular drinks like coffee, tea, coke and other such soft drinks as well as red wine contribute substantially to the staining. There are many more factors that could cause this. The teeth whitening products contain carbamide peroxide as the active ingredient that does this trick of bleaching off the stains. This is an ADA approved ingredient in most of the products out there; a few also use hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient. The oxidation induced by the products helps to take care of the stains and brings back the natural shade to begin with. The whitening process is not effective against the crowns or other dental work performed on the tooth. So you should apply the dental whitening as long as needed and then go back to your dentist for a replacement with a suitable shade crown or add-ons. Generally the whitening process can show results in just a few applications and you can continue up until the desired shade is obtained. Then you can stop the application. There is a flip flop period after this as the shading becomes a little dull and the a little brighter and it stabilize at a particular shade. This is usually much brighter than the one you started out with. Dont worry this is usual and you have to wait for the shade to set in before going to the doctor to get your replacement crowns. The price factor is one big thing that you need to consider, almost all products including the dental bleaching procedures employ the same active ingredients and you have to choose the product that can save money on top of the same effect. You should buy the OTC products that are either certified or developed by certified Dental Labs. Some products have a unique formula - pH balanced with high adhesion qualities designed to stay on tooth surface. These are some of the factors to consider while choosing to get that catchy, bright white smile you have always dreamt of.

Relationship Advice Gone Wild
By Susan Russo \"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer and wish we didnt.\" -Erica Jong Everybody wants to be politically correct and say the right things. You have to tip toe around the reality of hard truths and watch that you dont hurt anyones feelings. There are times when the words that you speak and what you are thinking, are two entirely different things, all in the name of being polite and professional. For the first time, what you are about to experience is the brutal, cold truth about how to get over the end of your relationship, let go and move on. Some people simply cant handle the truth; they are just too delicate and fragile. On the other hand, maybe if they are slapped in the face with reality, they will finally wake-up. Get ready for you are about to enter the Relationship Advice Gone Wild Zone. Statement: Im crying my eyes out, I just cant stop thinking of them. I feel so hurt and I dont know what to do. Advice: Cry your fool head off and get it out. Cry and cry some more and then be done with it. Do you honestly think you wont ever get over this jerk? They left you didnt they? So why on Gods good earth would you want them back? Do you really want to be with someone who doesnt want to be with you? Hellonothing like forcing someone to be with you, Im sure thats just what youve always wanted! Statement: I just want to call them one more time. Advice: Thats great, is your phone ringing? NO! So what do plan to accomplish by calling them? Whats your point? Dont you get it? They arent picking the phone up to call you. So what are you going to do? Be a pest or a stocker, not to mentionhave a little pride. Or, better yet, why dont you call them and beg them back. If they arent calling you, why would you ever give them the satisfaction of calling them? Its overso get over it. Statement: I love them and I didnt want this to end, do you think they feel bad that its over? Advice: First of all, no kidding you love them. Anybody who could dump you and you still want them, now thats real love. Or is it desperation? Sure, you probably did love them, but the problem is that; you werent being loved back. It time to get over the shock, pick up the pieces and face the cold hard truththeyre gone. I know thats not what you want to hear, but sorry, thats reality. Now you have to deal with it the best way you know how. As far as them feeling bad, well I hate to break it to you butthey may have a twinge of guilt, but lets face it, they left didnt they? So my guess is that they arent feeling that bad, more than likely they are going about the business of getting on with their life, just like you need to do. Statement: I want them to feel bad. Advice: I know you want them to feel bad, but they may never feel bad. By holding onto thoughts of revenge or wishing ill will on someone is not only bad karmayou are the only one it hurts. You know, sometimes life just isnt fair, but the best revenge is living a good life. Quite simply, you are wasting your time wishing for something that may never happen. Plus, you will never really know for sure. So let it go, dont let it eat you alive. Its your choice. Believe me the list goes on. Your emotions have gone wild in trying to get over whatever their name was. Lets face it. You have to get over it anyway, so what are you waiting for? Dont tell me, youre holding out hope that theyll come back. Even though thats a normal reaction, again, its a waste of time. You might as well stare the truth in the face and say, Im not going to let this ruin my life, Im done. If they dont want me someone else will. Then go about not only living it, but also believing it.

Homeowner Personal Loan: Panacea for any Financial Crunch
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Steve_C_Clark]Steve C Clark You have been dreaming since long for a house of your ownYou worked hard, earned money, saved and finally you bought a dream house of your own, though buying a house requires huge amount of money but since you have been saving for long, you were in a position to buy a house. But you need extra money to remodel the house, the way you want; you need money for interiors of your house. Moreover, since you have already spent your saving on this house, you may not have money to manager the day-to-day expenses. Here comes the hidden advantage of your being a home owner. Did you know the terms-Homeowner Loan? Means-those loans which are meant only for homeowners. Now, let us join personal. The result is Homeowner personal loan. Now, this is one personal loan which is exclusively meant for homeowners. More and more loan lenders are queuing up with innovated schemes to provide personal loans to homeowners. This loan is secured against your property, i.e. your home shall be taken as collateral for the personal loan offered to you. Interest Rate
Lenders charge interest on the amount you borrow, which is referred to as the Annual Interest Rate which is calculated as certain percentage of the loan amount. The rate of interest also depends upon the value of the property, your credit record, your source of income, whether you have permanent source of income or not. Few lenders also offer the option of fixed and variable interest rate. Loan Amount & Purpose of loan
The amount of loan in case of Homeowner personal loans varies from lender to lender.
Few lenders offer the amount equivalent to 125% of the value of your property. Others provide a fixed range to choose, irrespective of the value of property to be offered as security. The amount available usually ranges from 3,000 to 50,000, although some lenders will consider lending up to 100,000. The amount borrowed is repaid monthly over a term agreed at the outset, which will usually range between three years and twenty five years. You may be charged a penalty if you repay your loan earlier than agreed, and you should check each lenders individual policy with regards to this. The amount you can borrow, the term available and the A.P.R will all depend upon the equity you have in your property, the lender's view of your ability to repay the loan and your personal circumstances, for example any adverse credit. Subject to your circumstances, you may be able to borrow up to 125% of the property value. Home-owner Personal loans are available for many different purposes, including debt consolidation. The homeowner personal loans can be used for any purpose - Debt Consolidation, New Car, Family Holiday etc. One of the most prevalent usages of homeowner personal loan is for debt consolidation. The intention of getting a consolidation homeowner personal loan is to considerably reduce the monthly payments. The homeowner personal loan for debt consolidation is like a boon for people today. Many homeowners are having trouble due to credit card debts and other pilling bills like store card bills. Not only consolidation homeowner loans bring down the interest rate but also prosper convenience. Generally, secured loans are much easier to obtain than unsecured loans. This is because the lender has the added benefit of security, which provides protection in the event of a customer's inability to repay. This also means that people, who are self-employed, have recently changed jobs or who have adverse credit can take out a loan. They are also useful for larger amounts or where the applicant requires a longer repayment period. For people with bad credit record, homeowner personal loan is a panacea. Because, homeowner personal loan is especially meant for people with adverse credit. Many loan lenders offer a sympathetic outlook towards people with adverse credit.

Tummy Tuck Recovery
By Gen Mason Since time immemorial, many a battle has been known to be fought in order to conquer a thing of beauty be it countries or women (or even wealth, which was also a way to get to all the beautiful things that money can buy). Perhaps people endure procedures like tummy tuck, recovery to follow suit only with this end in mind. The innate desire within each and every individual to look attractive and well turned out at all times probably is the biggest motivator for undergoing surgeries of this sort. In olden times there was no short cut to good looks it meant that you had to be naturally endowed with a sculpted body and a beautiful face thanks to heredity. However in recent times, most of these concepts have undergone drastic change. With the advancement of medical science, it is possible to correct imperfections in looks at the hands of a talented doctor who must also be an artist at heart, for he needs to have the ability to visualize the changes that will look best on the face or body that he is about to transform and have the expertise to carry out his vision so as to turn it into reality. Their patients unflinching trust in them gives them to brave the side effects of tummy tuck recovery. Among the bandwagon of cosmetic surgeries like breast enhancement or augmentation, face lifts, body sculpting, liposuction and the likes, tummy tuck is probably one of the widely used procedures. The medical term for tummy tuck is Abdominoplasty which is a cosmetic surgery procedure to reshape and firm up the abdomen. This involves the removal of excess fat as well as skin from the lower and middle abdomen or else in order to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The surgery can either be 'complete' which may take between two and five hours to complete or else 'partial' which gets completed within 2 hours usually. Each case is unique and deviations from the basic procedure are commonplace. The basic procedure however remains the same, which begins with an incision being made around the area where the skin and muscles require tightening. The navel is freed from this area if necessary, to be sewn back later. After making the necessary tautening adjustments, the skin flap is reattached after which the stitches are dressed. As the procedure appears, tummy tuck recovery is not a simple affair, particularly because what we are dealing with here is a major surgery. Proper care of the stitches is necessary to avoid an infection, as is the case with any other invasive procedure. Being on the abdomen, tummy tuck recovery can be particularly traumatic since each and every movement affects this part of the body to the extent that it might even become difficult to walk upright. However, doctors advise that is best to get into the act of gentle movement so as to get acclimatized to the sutures and speed up healing. Tummy tuck recovery requires the expert guidance of the surgeon and utmost care and rest for best results. Gen Mason does cardio and works out everyday.

School Bullying: Stop School Bullying with the Cops!
By Paula McCoach Some of our hardcore bullies have Probation Officers. Our school administrators and counselors use these P.O.s to help us help the bullies. We get in touch with the Department of Juvenile Justice and communicate with them about the bully's behavior. With several of the bullies, we would send the P.O. the daily checklist, so he/she would know how the bully was behaving every day. Also, we send any disciplinary referrals to D.J.J. In some states, a school disciplinary referral will cause the bully to be sent to a detention center for a short period of time. The most important idea is that the bully knows you are going to have open communication with the legal system that is monitoring him/her. For us, that one
fact keeps some bullies on their best behavior. And that is all we want, isnt it?

Innovation - What is It?
By John Stanley According to German research, 50% of homeowners have fun in the garden, 25% feel they have to garden and 25% hate their garden. The role of the retailer is to create more fun opportunities for the fun lovers and to convert the other 50% into fun lovers. This means you have to be an innovator. Keep doing what you have always done and we will not change the paradigm. But, it is easy to say become an innovator, but how do you put this into practice? Firstly, you need to listen to your consumers. I would recommend you listen to at least two groups. Firstly, talk to your existing customers, the ones having fun and ask them how you can enhance their experience. This can be done via questionnaires, newsletters or simply talking to customers one to one. The other 50% may need to be invited into what the Germans call a Customer Parliament. This is where a group of people are invited to an open forum to discuss ideas and solutions. I have been involved with customer parliaments or focus groups with numerous businesses. I have found the best formula is to set a time frame for the meeting, for example, thirty minutes, and then keep to that time frame; we should respect peoples time pressures. I would restrict the group to a maximum of 20 people. Provide them with coffee/tea and biscuits, but do not bribe them with discounts or gifts for attending. In my experience, when you start a session, you rarely get comments that are valuable; usually you get pats on the back. But, by carefully constructing questions, eventually people open up and provide the valuable information you need. The key is to listen, but dont justify anything. Having listened to your consumers, you now have an opportunity to be an innovator. There are various definitions on innovation and when I checked my dictionary I came up with the following definition. Something newly introduced, such as a new method or device;
novelty; modernisation; improvement; advance; originality I would like to look at innovation from a retail perspective. Innovation is providing what the consumer does not expect, in a positive way. Innovation is surprising people and as a result stimulating word of mouth marketing for your business. Innovators listen to customers, finds out what they expect and then provides the unexpected. In many businesses, innovation is held back by middle management. Fear of the unknown is the biggest reason innovation fails to take place. What happens if it does not work? Or even worse, what happens if it makes us look foolish in front of our peers, in the industry and in front of our customers. The problem is consumers do not want you to play safe, they want you to be an innovator, and they are daring you to delight them in new ways. Having listened to the consumer, it is essential that you brainstorm the ideas with the team and get the majority on board to support your innovation. If you do this, you will find that team members will join in with the innovation process. When innovating, there are key questions you need to ask yourself and your team:- 1. If we were the best of the best at what we do, what would consumers expect from us? 2. Having defined that expectation, what do we need to do to exceed it in the customers eyes? 3. What innovative ideas are occurring outside our industry sector, that we could introduce into our industry sector? 4. Has anyone already introduced this idea into our industry? If so, it still may be worth doing, but it is not an innovative idea. 5. Will the investment in this innovation be justified based on the return on the investment that we should expect? The problem or opportunity with innovation is that when you introduce such an idea the consumer loves it, but others in the industry could laugh at you and mock your ideas. Innovators have to be a bit crazy and accept initially that they may be belittled by other members of the retail sector. Want Some Crazy Ideas that Worked? These ideas were innovative ideas, but now they are in place, if you copy them youre a me to:- 1. Introducing a wine cellar into a public library - Botany Downs Library, New Zealand. 2. Offering a drink and sports T.V. at a mens hairdressers - Klouriz Rotorua New Zealand. 3. A piano player above the oranges playing your favourite tune in a fruit and vegetable store - Petes Frootique, Nova Scotia, Canada. 4. Introducing a Choco Pass in your city to enable consumers to visit chocolate shops - Turin, Italy. 5. Enclosing coins with air tickets to use trolleys at foreign airports - Travel Agent, United Kingdom. 6. Sending out thank you cards and a complimentary meal at a restaurant if you purchase a bed - Japes Furnishings, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. 7. Placing a giant bear outside your convention centre peering into the convention centre - Denver Convention Centre, Colorado, USA. 8. Offering freshly cooked muffins and coffee in a dental waiting room, Paddi Lunds Dental Surgery, Queensland, Australia. 9. Introducing yellow wristbands to support cancer research - Lance Armstrong, Tour de France winner. and the list goes on. All these innovators were first in the field and accept others will copy, for example, there are various coloured wristbands for different charities now on the market, but it is the yellow one everyone remembers and admires. Do you Want to Innovate? My Seven Step plan to be an innovator would be as follows:- 1. Really listen to customers and consumers 2. Brainstorm the results with your team 3. Plan to exceed consumer expectations 4. Look outside your retail sector 5. Be first in your retail sector 6. Dont listen to the soothsayers within your industry 7. Be bold, be different, do it with panache, but do it. Once the competitors start visiting your store and taking notes, you know you have cracked it and you know it is time to move on. Innovation is a mindset; it is a journey; it is not a destination.

If you do this, you will find that team members will join in with the innovation process. When innovating, there are key questions you need to ask yourself and your team:- 1. If we were the best of the best at what we do, what would consumers expect from us? 2. Having defined that expectation, what do we need to do to exceed it in the customers eyes? 3. What innovative ideas are occurring outside our industry sector, that we could introduce into our industry sector? 4. Has anyone already introduced this idea into our industry? If so, it still may be worth doing, but it is not an innovative idea. 5. Will the investment in this innovation be justified based on the return on the investment that we should expect? The problem or opportunity with innovation is that when you introduce such an idea the consumer loves it, but others in the industry could laugh at you and mock your ideas. Innovators have to be a bit crazy and accept initially that they may be belittled by other members of the retail sector. Want Some Crazy Ideas that Worked? These ideas were innovative ideas, but now they are in place, if you copy them youre a me to:- 1. Introducing a wine cellar into a public library - Botany Downs Library, New Zealand. 2. Offering a drink and sports T.V. at a mens hairdressers - Klouriz Rotorua New Zealand. 3. A piano player above the oranges playing your favourite tune in a fruit and vegetable store - Petes Frootique, Nova Scotia, Canada. 4. Introducing a Choco Pass in your city to enable consumers to visit chocolate shops - Turin, Italy. 5. Enclosing coins with air tickets to use trolleys at foreign airports - Travel Agent, United Kingdom. 6. Sending out thank you cards and a complimentary meal at a restaurant if you purchase a bed - Japes Furnishings, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. 7. Placing a giant bear outside your convention centre peering into the convention centre - Denver Convention Centre, Colorado, USA. 8. Offering freshly cooked muffins and coffee in a dental waiting room, Paddi Lunds Dental Surgery, Queensland, Australia. 9. Introducing yellow wristbands to support cancer research - Lance Armstrong, Tour de France winner. and the list goes on. All these innovators were first in the field and accept others will copy, for example, there are various coloured wristbands for different charities now on the market, but it is the yellow one everyone remembers and admires. Do you Want to Innovate? My Seven Step plan to be an innovator would be as follows:- 1. Really listen to customers and consumers 2. Brainstorm the results with your team 3. Plan to exceed consumer expectations 4. Look outside your retail sector 5. Be first in your retail sector 6. Dont listen to the soothsayers within your industry 7. Be bold, be different, do it with panache, but do it. Once the competitors start visiting your store and taking notes, you know you have cracked it and you know it is time to move on. Innovation is a mindset; it is a journey; it is not a destination.

NCLEX � Nursing School Aptitude Examination
By Milos Pesic How important is the nursing school aptitude exam NCLEX? - As important as the need to provide nursing health care for patients in need. NCLEX stands for National Council Licensure Examination an international nursing school aptitude exam standardized by each state-jurisdiction board of nursing to determine if nursing candidates are competent for entry-level nursing practice in the United States.
There are basically two US licensing NCLEX nursing school aptitude exam tests offered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) the NCLEX-RN (for Registered Nurses) and the NCLEX-PN (for Practical and Vocational Nurses). Both the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN nursing school aptitude exam questions are mostly multiple-choice questions with 4-answers. In some cases the exam uses more difficult question formats such as multiple-choice questions asking for 1+ correct answers, fill-in-the-blank questions, or identifying an area on a picture. Both exams cover mostly the same topics and both are time-limited. The main difference between the two is that the NCLEX-RN is more difficult, determined by the number and difficulty of correctly answered questions required to pass the exam. Both of the nursing school aptitude exam NCLEX is administered using Computerized Adaptive Testing - CAT. In the CAT-administered NCLEX, the computer measures the ability of the candidate using the answers provided previously and changes the difficulty and topic of the new questions accordingly - if you answer correctly the computer will select harder questions and if you are answer incorrectly it will choose easier questions. With each new answer you provide the estimate of your ability gets more precise. The computer then selects questions you will have a 50% chance of answering correctly. This is done so that a well-prepared examinee will be asked more difficult questions thus having a good chance of passing the exam by answering the minimum number of questions, while less-prepared candidates are not forced to guess the answers to questions too difficult for them. This rule is also followed: for each correct answer add one to your score while for each incorrect answer subtract one. Adding your scores one at a time for each question answered should never result in a negative score in order for you to pass if you run out of time but you have answered the minimum number of questions required. The required number of correct answers is 1/2 the total number of questions you are presented with because of the adaptive nature of the test. The computer will then shut-down when the program running the test has determined with 95% certainty that your ability is either passing or failing. [next] The US and state boards of nursing necessarily use these measures in making licensure decisions. The nursing school aptitude exam NCLEX is registered and directed by each state board of nursing requiring all candidates to pass the examination to assess if they have the knowledge required to perform nursing safely and effectively. This is to ensure public health protection in the whole of the United States starting with its territories.
