4 Simple Nutrition Rules for Weight Loss

By Craig Ballantyne In 2005 the USDA released a new food pyramid guideline to help people eat properly and control their weight. But honestly, it didn't impress me and it was very confusing. There really are only 4 nutrition rules for weight loss. And here they are... 1. Eat a lot of fibrous fruits and vegetables There are very, very few North Americans that eat enough fruits and vegetables. So if you do, you will be well on your way to fat loss. In fact, if you want to lose weight, its important to eat more than the recommended 5 servings per day. Aim for the top end of fruits and vegetables recommendations, and replace all your processed carbohydrates with healthier fruits and vegetables. In addition to being healthier, fruits and vegetables will also fill you up faster and longer. 2. Eat quality protein Protein helps control your appetite. You should aim to eat small amounts of protein spread over the course of the day. This will help your mental energy levels as well and prevent you from getting tired and hungry. Good protein sources include whey protein, fish (salmon, tuna), beef, chicken, and alternative meats such as bison and ostrich. 3. Eliminate all added sugar from your diet There is almost no redeeming quality to sugar. It can drain your mental energy, prevent you from losing body fat, and of course, give you cavities. There is no room in a weight loss program for added sugar. If you cut it out, you'll cut the fat. 4. Consuming only low-glycemic carbohydrates Avoid all foods from a bag or box, including all processed carbohydrates. So forget the obvious (chips, candy) and even the supposedly healthy (pretzels, instant oatmeal). You'll be less tired if you stick to yams and vegetables for your carbohydrate intake. That's it. Eat whole, natural foods. Don't eat it if God didn't make it himself! Craig Ballantyne is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and writes for Men's Health, Men's Fitness, Maximum Fitness, Muscle and Fitness Hers, and Oxygen magazines. His trademarked Turbulence Training fat loss workouts have been featured multiple times in Men%u2019s Fitness and Maximum Fitness magazines and all over the Internet, and have helped thousands of men and women around the world lose fat, gain muscle, and get lean in less than 45 minutes three times per week.

Summer Skin Tips

By Gary Gresham Once again, winter has faded into Spring and Spring has burst into Summer along with Summer skin. Next comes the invincible Summer sun, your skin's arch-enemy, particularly if you play or exercise outdoors. Most people know that using sunscreen protection is essential. There are a number of ways to promote a healthy glow without exposing your skin to harmful rays. To help avoid Summer skin when playing or exercising outdoors on a hot, sunny day here are a few tips. Lightweight and light colored clothing combined with plenty of sunscreen protection on exposed and unexposed skin is a good way to protect yourself. If overheating isn't a concern, dark colored, tightly woven clothing is more effective at blocking UV rays. Light colored clothing lets the sun and UV rays reach the skin more easily. Another barrier against sun damage comes in the form of eyewear. Protect not only your eyes, but also the skin around them by wearing sunglasses that block 90 percent to 100 percent of the sun's UV rays. Always wear a hat. Though a cap may be more comfortable for jogging, try a wide brimmed hat that will shade your neck and face while gardening or walking outside. Now that you know how to protect the skin's surface, it's time to start thinking about what you can do to make a healthy glow from the inside out. You're already off to a good start with some form of exercise, which gets the blood circulating and delivers fresh oxygen to the skin all over your body. The next step is to drink plenty of water. Outdoor play or exercise, especially in the Summer, increases your risk of dehydration. This is one risk you don't want to take since it not only affects your performance and robs your skin of vitality, but also may be potentially hazardous to your health. Be sure to drink fluids before, during and after physical activity. To replenish your fluids after any outdoor activity, weigh yourself before you participate and then weigh again after. Any weight you lost is water and should be replaced by drinking two glasses (16 ounces) of water for every pound you have lost. Summer is a time for sun, fun and physical activity. Sipping on a cool drink, participating in your favorite activity and enjoying the long days of summer. No matter what you like to do, with a little insight and these few tips you can help alleviate the effects of Summer skin and make your Summer one you will enjoy.

Best Ways to Lose Weight

By Oliver Turner Overweight can cause a lot of troubles to one personally alongside other health related issues. Studies have shown that overweight invariably leads to health issues such as hypertension, cardiac troubles, sleep apnea and diabetes. Further, being obese could hamper ones freedom to move, run, or sit comfortably in a standard chair. The only way out of this mess is to shed those extra pounds around your waist by embracing some healthy weight loss diet plan and follow it religiously. In the following paragraphs, youll see few important tips that could help one effectively reduce his/her weight to healthier proportions. Every healthy weight loss diet plan proposed by dieticians and nutritionists starts with a simple suggestion - reduce the food intake to the optimum amount. But it is the most difficult of the things to implement and it will take a lot of mental effort from your side to tune your mind to say NO to victuals. Reducing the food all in a sudden could adversely affect ones health. Hence reduction in food intake also means adopting a healthier and balanced diet schedule. As a rule of thumb, embrace a healthy weight loss diet plan that is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products and whole grains, alongside drinking lots of water, at least 8-10 glasses a day. It would be prudent to chart a healthy weight loss diet plan for oneself than following text book quick weight loss programs such as Mediterranean Diet, Hollywood diet, lemonade diet or slim fast diet. And finally, backup your efforts with a strict fitness regime to burn away those extra calories from the body. Make it a practice to spend 30 min in the gym daily. A short stroll in the garden or in the street in the evening is also is advisable. To conclude, whichever healthy weight loss diet plan you choose, it will be hard work overall both physical and mental to shed those extra kilos you have gained over the years by hard eating. But the end result is worth all the efforts put in. And that will be a test of your mental resolve as well. We have made the most comprehensive research on diets.

Your Best Man Speech Starts with the Plan

By Gary Stevens The order and content of the wedding speeches do not have to follow such a rigid structure as, perhaps, they once did. It is critical that you discuss the format of the speeches well in advance so that you can properly prepare. With that caveat I have prepared a general plan that you can follow for your best man speech. This will give you a good insight into what is expected of you and will allow you to focus your preparation and research. The introduction
Introduce yourself and thank the groom for the opportunity of being the best man. If you are replying on behalf of the bridesmaids then thank the groom for his words. Comment on the wedding
This can be a general observation, prepared in advance, such as a comment on the groom wearing a suit or an observation from the actual ceremony. Your relationship to the groom
Explain in more detail who you are and your relationship to the groom. You could say how you first met and how you feel about being asked to be the best man. If you are giving a funny speech then keep the first part sincere and gently ease into the humor. Tell some (humorous) anecdotes
During researching your best man speech you should have plenty of anecdotes to talk about. Do not necessarily restrict this to only the groom. You could talk about how the bride and groom's parent met, if there is a connection or co-incidence. Be careful not to be offensive - even if not intentional. Be nice to the groom
If you have just given a character assassination of the groom it is even more important that you re-introduce sincerity, prior to the toast - so find at least one thing nice to say about him! Pay a sincere tribute to the bride and broom
Give your personal thoughts and wishes for the bride and groom's happiness and future. Give the toast
Generally there will be one toast, to the bride and groom. If you are expected to give more than one then do not leave them all to the end of your speech. Haven't got a lot to say?
Do not worry! You can fill out your speech with more general observations (comment on your role as the best man, offer some thoughts on marriage), provide a date hook (a memorable historic event that took place on the same day) or read some cards from guests that were unable to attend. Garry Stevens is an authority on public speaking and has created a specialized package especially for giving a best man speech.

The Truth About Life Experience

By Shubhanyu Jain We all have our schools. Then we move on to colleges. Here we make a choice; go for degree colleges or diploma colleges? If we choose a vocation where special training is required, we choose the former, whereas if the only thing required is a qualification, we choose diploma colleges. There is, however, a third school. Life experience degrees are all about practicality. It is all about *experience* gained in *life* and hence, life experience degrees. They reward the hands-on experience gained by an individual in his life and vocation. Come to think about it, for a given job, say, computer programmer, two kinds of people may apply one, absolute fresher who just got out of college with nothing to show but a piece of paper called degree, and the other is someone who is coding for years, a self-taught professional. Who would you trust more? Both know the languages of coding, and the self-taught professional gains in terms of having hands-on experience at coding, which the novice obviously does not. You would probably still go with the novice, just because he is *qualified*. I would say, it is not that he is *qualified*, it is just that he is *certified* qualified. This is where a life experience degree helps. Life experience colleges award degrees to such candidates who do not possess a traditional degree but are equally, and in most cases, more competent than their degree-d counterparts. These degrees attempt to bridge the divide a mere piece of paper creates, by handing out the same paper to the one who was denied of it otherwise but deserved it more than anyone.

The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia

By Vicheka Lay I invoke the genius of Constitution. (William Pitt, Earl of Chatham - 1777) Despite present image and discriminatory merits have made Cambodia one of the most stigmatized international actors in the world, this sovereign state still boasts one foundation for her general functioning. The addressed one foundation for general functioning of the state is the Constitution. The all-out purpose of this article is to analyze the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia; whether it addresses the Constitutional pioneers theory and other democratically valid eligibilities. Constitution is not just about listing from preamble and oath to the final provision, but there must be one or many absolute cores to convert a piece of writing, made by very few, into the Municipal God (Constitution) that the entire population must unconditionally abide by. This article will compare the common elements of the generally accepted Constitution to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The principle of sovereignty has made the Constitution of every world countries not definitively identical, but to be generally accepted, the Constitution must fulfill all the below criteria (with exception to few countries). I. Preamble: Comparing to education, preamble is like an orientation to urge the reader continue to the next page. Administrative functioning, political stance, civil rights and other statesmanship are not addressed in the preamble. Robert L. Maddex states that however, in the case of some Constitutions of communist countries, the preamble may reveal the motives for the document, which otherwise bears little resemblance to how the national political power structure actually operates (Robert L. Maddex, 1995, Constitutions of the World, p. xi). Preamble of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia states:
... awakened, stood up with a resolute determination to strengthen the national unity, to preserve and defend Cambodias territory and its precious sovereignty and the prestige of Angkor civilization, and to restore Cambodia into an Island of Peace ... we inscribe the following as the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The selected paragraphs of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia are to orient the readers to the next page. As we can see, the political system and other state of affairs are not mentioned in the Preamble contained in the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Cambodia has now achieved the first common element of what I call the generally accepted Constitution. II. Fundamental rights: Most of the written Constitutions reiterate the list of fundamental rights, obligations and responsibilities of wrongdoing of any citizen, permanent inhabitants or anyone paying sojourn within the territory. Fundamental right is analogous to the U.S. bill of rights (Maddex). Fundamental rights and civil rights are usually deployed interchangeably. The list of fundamental rights is mostly surrounding freedom of expression, faith, assembly, association-establishment, private properties, compensation, economic perspiration and accountabilities. Referring to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia; Chapter III, from Article 31 to 50, the rights and obligations of the Cambodian citizens are tabulated. In these articles, from the most basic (physiological) rights to responsibilities before the state of the Cambodian citizens are listed. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia does now fill the second criteria of the theory of generally accepted Constitution. And the last common element of Constitution is the structure of the government. III. Structure of the government: In the democratic or democracy-oriented countries, the government is usually divided into three separate branches: executive, legislative and judicial. To be precise, structure of government is the path on which the public affairs of one state is operated. Structure of government is also different between parliamentary system and presidential-style parliamentary system. In the case of Cambodia, the three branches of government is, according to the Constitution, separated (Article 51, paragraph 4). Chapter VII, VIII and IX of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia are all about the structure of the government. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia now reaches the final eligibility to be authentically accepted as the valid Constitution as per the theory of our Constitutional pioneer. There are still many debates and argument on whether the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia is truly democratic or not. Those interested in public affairs are making the public opinions get confused. Whether the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia is democratic or not, is the matters of politics, not the matters of law. We are doing legal analysis, but our mentality is focusing on politics; this has made the new interested individuals get even more confused and complicated. I do not dare to say that whether the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia is democratic or not, because I am not doing political analysis, but I dare to say that Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia does possess adequate criteria to be regarded as a generally accepted Constitution. Constitutional council of the Kingdom of Cambodia is the sole institution responsible for interpreting any law passed by the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The Author of this article recommends those concerned to use the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia for any occasion. Anyone looking for a World-class Romantic Wedding!

The Future of Healing...

By Bill Austin Your FUTURE is NOT in a doctor's office or a vial of prescription drugs. Western medicine has done a wonderful job in treating our symptoms and masking the pain of physical imbalances with drugs that cost a small fortune. Pain temporarily dissipates, perhaps, or symptoms lessen, but the root cause often remains. The sad news about this is, the older we get, the more well come to rely on expensive pills and the more frustrating time well spend in medical facilities. Unless Doesnt it make more sense to address the core issues that underlie physical suffering? This is where Energy Healing comes into play and can assist you. You can change from OK to Oh, wow! Almost everyone has experienced that feeling of hopelessly slogging through life, just getting by, or wasting their energy and talent. Problem is, people can go on for a very long time like that, just getting through, just doing OK. Many people, I think its fair to say, go on like this for a lifetime. The thing is, you dont have to approach life that way. No matter how many bad experiences, negative beliefs, episodes of hurt and anger are in your past, they dont have to dictate your life. They can be healed and cleared away, not through excruciatingly long-term and difficult periods of self-work but through a spiritual gift thats available to anyone. The gift of Energy Healing I personally believe that if our world sometimes gives us evil, disappointment, hurt, tragedy, grief, and hundreds of potentially devastating experiences, then the universe also provides help and a way for us to heal it. Energy Healing is like a gift, a secret code for unlocking and undoing the damage. Heres why energy healing works: Science has shown that everything is energy with a certain vibration and frequency. At birth, all of our systems, organs and energy fields vibrate at the level of unconditional love which is optimal for physical health and well-being. Throughout life, though, we begin to absorb the negative beliefs and sustain the shocks and hurts that block emotions and disrupt the energy field. Vibrations are lowered or changed, physical systems respond by setting up stress-level defenses or even resulting in pain or disease. The energy fields are further disrupted, creating a snowball effect and over time, the negativity and hurt is reinforced in the body. Energy Healing seeks to eliminate these blockages and negative cycles by restoring vibration and frequency of the energy field to the original pure, healthful state. Energy flows to positively affect emotions, outlook, ambition, ability and possibility in your life. More powerful than technology, more effective and pure than pharmaceuticals, more permanent than talk therapy, more life-changing than any other methods, Energy Healing helps you to clear the millions of negative thoughts, beliefs, emotions and attitudes that comprise the root cause of why you often feel ZAPPED and out of sorts. The help you need is finally here! If youre trying by sheer willpower to force yourself to have a better attitude, to do more, be more cheerful and enjoy yourself more, you know it just doesnt work. Its time to streamline and simplify by taking advantage of one of the great powers available to you Energy Healing! _________________________________________________________________ Bill Austin is a spiritual healer and teacher based in St Petersburg FL.

Health Benefits of Wu Long Tea

By Jules Sowder Research studies on the health benefits of wu long tea (also referred to as oolong tea) reveal the brews potential to reverse signs of aging, facilitate weight loss, and promote overall wellness. While all teas possess similar properties including caffeine, catechin, polyphenals, and teaflavin tearubigin that provide benefits to the human body, the quantities and percentages differ depending on the extent of oxidation during production. Therefore the health benefits of wu long tea, which is semi-fermented, vary from those offered by green tea with its limited processing and black tea with its extensive oxidation process.
Following are some research studies that point to the health benefits of wu long tea consumption. WEIGHT LOSS: Scientists from Japan's University of Tokushima School of Medicine found that people who regularly consumed oolong tea experienced more than twice the calorie-burning results compared to those who drank green tea. A study published in the Journal of Medical Investigation found that women who consumed wu-long tea directly after a meal increased energy expenditure by 10%. This compared to an energy expenditure of 4% for green tea drinkers and 0 for water drinkers. Researchers at the Suntory Research Center in Osaka, Japan found that drinking wu long tea 15 minutes before eating foods high in carbohydrates curbed rises in insulin, thus reducing some of the fattening effects of carbohydrate intake. ENHANCED SKIN CONDITION: Researchers from Japan's Shiga University of Medical Science found that drinking wu long each day helps to clear up skin problems within one month. Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto and colleagues from the University of California found that people who drank wu long tea on a daily basis experienced a fifty-percent reduction in free radicals within 15 days. Free radicals are damaging substances in the body that contribute to signs of aging, including wrinkles and dark spots that are caused by ultra-violet rays, chemical food additives, pollution and stress. HEALTHY TEETH: A study by the Department of Dentistry at Japan's Osaka University showed that regular consumption of oolong tea strengthens teeth and helps prevent tooth decay by inhibiting the build-up of plaque. STRONGER IMMUNE SYSTEM: According to a study published in Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, test subjects who consumed wu long were found to have stronger immune systems and a reduced risk for infections. While the results of these and other studies are promising, you should always talk with your doctor about the health benefits of wu long tea before adding the brew or other varieties to your daily diet for therapeutic purposes. This article was written by Jules Sowder. Visit Learn-About-Tea.com for more information on tea, including varieties, health benefits, selection, accessories, gift-giving and entertaining.

Treatments for Headache Relief: Inderal for Headache Relief

By Javier Fuller What a variety of headaches and what a variety of treatment patterns! Strictly speaking, any medicine that is administered for a particular disease, must cure it without giving scope for any side effects!And cure it fully, not in parts, not with ifs and buts! How many types of medicines have been tried to treat this simple looking ailment of headache? Individual headache treatments, traditional headache treatments, alternative headache medicine, drug and non-drug therapies for headache relief! Yet, breathes there a soul who will not get attacks of headaches in one form or the other-one or two times in a year or several times? How brain, the most intelligent part of the human system, has kept itself away from this headache? Nothing happens to the brain, even if you have a worst attack of the headache. But most of the parts around it, are desperately attacked., like head, face, mouth or neck. The pain can be mild or severe enough to disrupt your daily activities. Headache involves the network of nerve fibers, in the tissues, muscles and blood vessels, located in the head and at the base of the skull. Inderal for headachehow does it work? Inderal does two important functions in its effort to control headache. It reduces the heart rate and lowers the blood pressure. How this is done? It is a beta-blocker medication which blocks the action of the sympathetic nervous system. As a natural corollary, blood pressure and heart rate are checked. Rightly, therefore beta blocker drugs like Inderalk are used in the treatment of high blood pressure. Some studies have also shown that they also have a role to play in preventing the migraine attacks. Migraine is one of the severe forms if headaches! But, certain side effect are cited. They are dizziness, changes in the mood of an individual, trouble with sleep, plus those who have asthma are likely to suffer more! A local medicine is believed to the job of Inderal, but without any side effects. Bishop's weed (Ajwain): The seeds are useful in the treatment of migraine and delerium. They should either be smoked or sniffed frequently to obtain relief. http://www.headacheupdates.com/migraine/ & Headache Relief provides detailed information on headache, natural headache relief, headache treatment and more.

Spruce Budworm

By Paul Burke Spruce budworm is a very serious pest in our area and can be found in all species of spruce. The adult moths will lay their eggs in July and early August. These adults will lay approximately 100-150 eggs in a cluster pattern. Each cluster usually contains 15-40 eggs and can be found on the underside of the needles of a spruce tree. After a 2 week period the larvae appear and start to prepare for the upcoming winter season by building nests made out of silk. These larvae do no damage to the tree at this time. Their goal is to survive the winter to feast on the new growth of your tree in the spring. As the trees begin to bud in the spring the larvae begin by feeding on the old growth. Once the tree has fully budded, the larvae move to this new succulent growth and feed for 4-5 weeks. You can identify spruce budworm larvae by their reddish brown bodies with yellow spots. Their heads are shiny and are dark brown in colouration. After their larval stage the budworm pupates within the tree and emerges as an adult moth in about 10-15 days. Only one generation of spruce budworm occurs every year. Damage: By feeding initially on the old growth spruce budworm will do little damage to your tree. However, once the larvae move on to the new growth, they will form nests and feed continually on this new growth. You can identify damage caused by this pest by observing a reddish brown, almost scorched look to the crown or top of your trees. The larvae are inefficient consumers and will often leave partially consumed needles. If your trees have a bad infestation, the larvae can consume all of the new growth on your tree. If this infestation continues for 4-5 years the larvae are capable of killing the entire tree. Controlling the problem: Ordinarily natural factors such as predators and weather are enough to control spruce budworm populations. Occasionally these populations will explode and require a different means of control. If at all possible you can pick the larvae off your trees by hand. Ensure this is done early in the spring. Encourage birds that feed on insects such as jays to live near your home. If you are using an insecticide, ensure you follow all the directions on the label before and during applications. Wear appropriate clothing when applying. Paul is a Certified Pesticide Applicator in the province of Alberta, Canada. He has over 15 years experience in the lawn care industry.

Cholesterol Information-Medication-Lifestyle and Food

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Shelby_Ryan] Shelby Ryan In a seemingly endless barrage you are probably bombarded with facts about cholesterol - foods, lifestyles and medications. For the most, these facts are associated with products you can buy, in other words, commercials - tv, radio and print. On the other hand, what cholesterol information is actually pertinent to avoid heart disease and live a healthy life and where can you find this kind of cholesterol information? Pertinent cholesterol information can be divided into two parts: information about you and information about everything else. Your doctor will ask you about your important cholesterol information. Understand your numbers get a cholesterol test and find out how much good and bad cholesterol you have. Your doctor can also tell you whether your numbers are too high or too low. Like so many health problems, smoking has a tendency to make high cholesterol even higher. Your family's medical history is an important cholesterol information factor. If your blood pressure is high, you may already be feeling the effects of high cholesterol. Some medical conditions, like diabetes, can also raise cholesterol levels. While you may not know the cholesterol numbers of your relatives, their medical conditions can give your doctor a good starting point and a good idea of your potential health issues. Information about your lifestyle is also important. If your diet is good, your weight is under control and you exercise regularly, you may be doing everything you can. If this is your situation your doctor may recommend medication. To control cholesterol, you need to know what it is. Many are surprised to find out that cholesterol manufactured in the liver and that it's essential for the body to function at optimal levels. You may be surprised to know that you make it yourself and so your body clearly needs cholesterol in order to function so you don't need to add any to your diet. Good cholesterol information includes where to find cholesterol in your food. Because cholesterol comes from your liver, a good rule of thumb is if your food had a liver at some point in time, it contains cholesterol. That goes for dairy products, too. Cholesterol is found in the fat part of the food. Whole milk contains more cholesterol than non-fat milk. In eggs, the cholesterol is in the yolks. If your food has a nutrition label, look for saturated fat - some if ok but zero grams in best. Besides meat and dairy, palm and cocoanut oils contain saturated fats. A good rule of thumb regarding cholesterol information is that polyunsaturated fats are not bad for you unless they are hydrogenated. This is done to keep them stable in manufactured foods.

1 Step You Should Take to Alleviate Anxiety When Meeting Women

By Joanne King Has a similar scenario like this one ever happened to you before? Youve met a pretty lady on a matcher maker website and youve both planned to hook up at a local coffee shop to meet in person for the first time. Youre quite excited by this meet and greet as you think she is quite a hottie. But once you get there, anxiety kicks in and you feel your heart about to jump out of your throat as you head to approach her. Yes, she is even more beautiful then the pictures she had shown you, this has in turn created even more anxiety, and as you go to greet her suddenly, your mind draws a blank, you look for some words desperately to pull from your mind to say to her, youve managed to stutter out a sentence and your not even sure if it had made any sense! Well, maybe you haven't experienced that exact same scenario; however I'm sure you've probably experienced something similar. That is just one of many examples of anxiety when approaching women. The good news is, there are ways of eliminating this type of anxiety. I will show you one of the methods you can use right now in order to put a stop to your mind drawing a blank. The first thing you need to do is to pre-plan some of your conversations with the lady in question. The absolute best way to do this is to get a piece of pen and paper to write down what you plan to talk about. Writing it down, will help it sink into your subconscious so youre less likely to draw a blank when you approach her. Also, after you have written down some topics you plan to speak with her about, read it over and over again, and play the scenario over in your mind. 1. Plan Your Greeting Make sure you make eye contact and stand with good posture. Making good eye contact and standing with good posture will give her the impression that you have high confidence women are very attracted to a man that is confident. And you will feel more relaxed when you the positive reaction she will give when you exert this type of confidence. 2. Write down some questions you would like to ask her. This is good for a number of reasons. It helps you get to know her better this is quite an important detail if you want it to go further (possible relationship), you will begin to feel more at ease as you get to know her and shes going to be as happy as a sperm whale is in squid infested waters because she gets a great opportunity to speak about herself. Women love talking about themselves. 3. Prepare to tell a story. Everyone enjoys a good story and it often triggers a memory for them to reciprocate one in return. Here is one of my stories that may help you trigger some memories for yourself. So you can begin planning some of your stories. This back dates to when I was 5. I love telling stories about my childhood; I was adventurous and really quite devious. I had not long started school, (I wasnt particularly fond of school when I first started, in fact I even told my mother on the first day of returning home from school that they didnt need me to go anymore, I told her they already had enough kids in the class). We were living in a house on stilts is what Id call it. But back in those days, they were pretty popular (the-in-thing). There were two stairways. One was through the back door and one through to the front door. My brother, Daniel was a few years younger then myself so he would wait at home for me each day by the front door, but would never see me come through it. So curiosity got the better of him and he asked me how I get inside the house after I finish school each day. I told him I had magical powers and that I could walk through walls. He was totally amazed and asked if I could give him the power to walk through walls as well. I obliged, waved my hands around a bit and said there, now you got the power too, what you got to do is run as fast as you can into the wall. You could just imagine his disappointment when he planted face first into the wall only to discover there was no magical power of walking through walls ;-) Joanne King - http://www.anxiety-panic-free.com/approachwomen.html About the Author - Joanne King is a former sufferer of Anxiety & Panic Attacks.

Clients' OHS Duty of Care for Contractors

By Greg Fitzgerald As far OHS is concerned the law makes no distinction between responsibilities for employees and contractors working on-site for an organization. These laws are primarily state based but they differ very little. For more information go to the relevant work safety website in your state. The general safety requirements apply to the IT industry as to any other. Computer safety issues apply such as ergonomic chairs, non-glare screens and safe lifting and moving of computer equipment. However some IT contractors may be at additional risk, particularly those working with hardware such as computer engineers. Electrical safety is essential as there is a real risk of injury or death. Any employee or contractor working with electrical equipment is required to hold an appropriate electrical licence. Check the appropriate state government websites for licensing requirements. Management has a responsibility to ensure that anyone conducting electrical work holds the appropriate license and that it is current. All people working on electrical equipment should receive written material outlining safety procedures regarding electric shock and related hazards. This information should include avoiding electric shock such as procedures for indicating whether wires are live (carrying current) or not. Also advice should be provided as to what action to take if someone is suffering an electric shock. Other safety considerations include not working on live equipment where an employee or contractor could bang their head on a sharp object such as a shelf. The National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC) study Evaluation of Contractor OHS Compliance Initiatives looked at how various organizations have implemented contractor OHS Management Systems. The study found that companies usually classify their contracts according to the level of risk involved in the work as low, medium or high. Monetary value, size and duration of the contract are taken into account as well as the level of risk. A Contractor OHS Management System consists of four main stages in the contracting process. These are: 1. Writing tender and contract specifications.
2. Evaluating tenders.
3. Pre-commencement planning of work.
4. On-site control and monitoring. When writing the tender and contract specifications you should comply with OHS legislation and obtain demonstrated evidence, such as company forms and records, of the tenderers own OHS management system and OHS performance record. This information should be used in evaluating the tender. For medium to high risk contracts (which may include work on computer hardware) the tender and contract should require the contractor to develop a project specific Health and Safety Management plan before starting the job. This plan must be developed in consultation with site management and set out the OHS practices and procedures that will apply during the contract. Once approved by management, the plan becomes the basis of work inspections and internal and external audits for the duration of the contract. On-site control and monitoring includes: OHS training of contractors employees.
Inspection of plant and equipment and associated licences.
Hazard, incident, and accident reporting.
Regular site inspections by contractor, or site management, or jointly. For more details go to http://worksafe.gov.au. Gregory Fitzgerald

The REAL Reasons Women Find Men Attractive

By Rick Dalton The four levels of attraction are as follows, listed in order of importance: 1) Triggering Dominant Emotions, 2) Sexiness/Manliness, 3) Being a Challenge, 4) Logical Factors. However, while these levels differ in importance, they are all necessary in getting a woman to fall for you. Allow me to explain Level #1: Triggering Dominant Emotions We all have the desire to 1) have fun, 2) be popular, 3) command respect, 4) be independent, and 5) see the world. The truth is, very few of us are happy with ourselves in any of these. When we lie awake at night, we feel the need to live a more exciting life to have more friends and go to more parties to convince more people of our beliefs to do what we want and not care about what other people think and to pursue our dreams and live out our aspirations. Because we are unhappy with these qualities in our own life, we follow others who confidently project these to the world. Think about it 1) People flock to hang out with those having most fun at parties. Wallflowers rarely attract anybody. 2) Popular people make friends faster and easier than unpopular people. 3) People in power effortlessly get others to follow them. 4) People who do their own thing regardless of what others think tend to be leaders of others. (Think the bad boys from high school, and how many women they got) 5) People are naturally drawn to stories of the rich, famous and worldly. Men who clearly project at least one of these dominant emotions consistently and inevitably intrigue women. A similar strategy occurs in ads and commercials: Well-marketed products begin by making the customer realize what he/she is missing in life (using a dominant emotion, typically fear or greed), then the product is set up as the solution for filling that missing gap. Since human nature is human nature, the exact same strategy works for attracting women. How men use this to become more attractive to women: They make money: Rich guys invoke emotions #3 and #5. They develop their artistic or bad-ass qualities: Independent thinkers invoke emotion #4. They become the life of the party and always have a great time: Lifes of the party invoke emotions #1, #2, #3. Notice it doesnt take any specific talents to become great at #1, #2, #3, or #4. Literally ANY guy, no matter your shape, your size, or your looks, can master these to trigger the emotions of attraction in women. Level #2: Sexiness & Manliness Below the dominant emotions are two necessary but less important factors of attraction: your looks and your testosterone. Women are accepting when it comes to mens natural looks. Every day you see bald men, fat men, short men and even ugly men with good-looking women. While good looks might be initially exciting to a woman, looks dont consistently trigger deep feelings in a woman like dominant emotions do. However, women WILL place significance on style. If you are poorly groomed or poorly dressed, she will see you as being out of touch with society, and it will lower your credibility as a fun, popular guy. In most cases, women are more attracted to masculine men, just like how most men would rather date the girly-girl cheerleader than the tom-boy. Masculinity is a primal attraction trigger, and theres no real logic behind it. Just realize its there and it matters. How to use this to become more attractive to women: Go to the mall with an in-the-know female friend, and ask her to find clothes for you. Chances are, she will have fun helping you out, and shell see it more as an opportunity than a favor. Spend $40+ on a cool haircut. Youll only have to do it once, and its worth it to pay for an experts opinion on the best look for your hair. Be a man! If you enjoy sewing or fashion design or ballet, thats fine (keep doing it). But dont shy away from projecting your love of steak and football, too. Manliness is a mysterious and powerful force. Level #3: Being a Challenge We hate telemarketers and salesmen who try to tell us how we should be living our lives and spending our money. Nobody likes being duped or told what to do. The same goes for women and attraction. If she realizes you are trying to attract her before you actually do, youre out. Read that sentence again. Sadly, most guys dont realize women like men - want to figure things out for themselves. Instead, these poor fellows make the mistake of approaching on a bee-line in bars and clubs smiling too much when first meeting a woman giving her a compliment and buying her a drink. Keep this in mind: Whenever a woman is approached, the first thing she wonders is Why is this person talking to me? If she figures out youre trying to attract her, and shes not already attracted to you, it makes her feel like youre selling yourself to her. And just like telemarketers and those people on infomercials people who sell assume a lower value. How to use this to become more attractive to women: Let her figure out on her own how amazing you are. Talk about something platonic and MEAN it. Talk to her because legitimately you find her to be an interesting person, not because you have a hidden agenda to sleep with her. Get her friends laughing. Have her notice you engaging other people. Have her notice other women ogling you as you talk to them. Playfully kid with her. Think about how you act towards female friends you dont find attractive. In a friendly, funny and innocent way, you tease them a bit and get them laughing. (Make sure its friendly, funny and innocent. Jerks dont get laid.) This teasing automatically tells a woman that you are not selling yourself to her. As a result, shell realize you are speaking to her not to pick her up, but to meet someone new and to have a good time. This will put her at ease, lower her defenses, and get her mind thinking about YOU instead of Why is he approaching me? Crucial stuff. Level #4: Logical Factors Way at the bottom of the attraction chain are the logical factors: being funny, smart, witty, charming, eloquent, chivalrous, nice, sweet, kind, and having the same interests. Remember, EMOTIONS are what convince people to take action. None of these logical factors invoke emotions in women. However, these logical factors do serve some importance. One of the laws of sales is that people act on their emotions, but must justify those actions with logic. This is why you see car commercials start with scenes of a car cruising through the mountains or beaches (emotion), then end with statistics like horsepower and APR rates (logic). (Heres a quick exercise for figuring out what stirs emotions. Look at a picture of a gorgeous model, and pay attention to how your mind starts going crazy. All at once you feel emotions of insecurity, vanity and power, among others. Now, lets say I told you that model was also an Ivy-league grad who was a great cook. Notice you dont feel your mind going crazy as before, but you DO feel more attracted to her because youve justified your attraction for her through logic.) These logical factors wont attract women, but they are important because they can add onto attraction that is already there, and missing them could be a dealbreaker. Take this for example Even if you trigger dominant emotions in her even if you are sexy and manly even if you are a challenge if you fail to open a door for her and she MUST have a man who is chivalrous youre done. The strange thing is, most men invert the attraction levels and put logical factors at the top. They tell a woman a great joke, give her a kind compliment, speak in an intelligent way, and become frustrated when women back away from their advances. If youve experienced problems with attracting women, perhaps youve done the same. How to use this to become more attractive to women: Tell your jokes. Study hard. Be a nice, kind person. But dont expect any girl to fall for you because of it. Simply realize these are just qualities a woman checks off in her head before she justifies her attraction to you and youll be more inclined to focus on the other, more important levels of attraction that will make you more successful with meeting and dating beautiful women.

Being Thin And Being Lean: Is There A Difference?

By Jim O'Neill Often people will look at a thin person and think to themselves; now that person is nice and lean. But is that really always the case? Does being thin have a direct relationship with being lean? In order to answer these questions we must examine what it means to be thin verses what it means to be lean. Now you can define being thin as having a small circumference size. This would be denoted by small waist, arm, leg, and chest diameters as well as a low body weight all in relation to overall height. The definition of being lean however is measured by overall body composition. This would be denoted by a low percentage of body-fat verses percentage of lean mass (muscle and bone). You may be surprised to know that thin people quite often are not lean at all. In fact, many thin people have a much higher body-fat percentage than you might think! Now you may be thinking; how is that possible? Thin people don't look fat so how can they have much body-fat? Consider this example: Two women at 40 years old are both 5' 7" tall and both weigh 120 pounds. Women # 1 has a body-fat percentage of 25 and a waist size of 30. Woman # 2 on the other hand has a body-fat percentage of 16 and a waist size of 27. Both look thin, but woman # 2 is clearly leaner. What could be the cause of this? Why could both women be the same age, height, and weight but one is so much leaner than the other? Atrophy is the term used for the natural loss of muscle that begins to occur in people at around the age of 25 who are sedentary or do no resistance training or strength training. By the time a person reaches their mid to late thirties a significant amount of muscle can be lost if no resistance training is being done. Once atrophy begins, to 1 pound of muscle is lost per year and is replaced by nearly 2 pounds of fat because as muscle which is metabolically active tissue is lost, metabolism slows down allowing for extra fat storage. This translates to up to 10 to 15 pounds of lost muscle and up to 20 to 30 pounds of extra fat by age 40. So if a person does no form of resistance training it is likely that by age 40 even though they appear thin they will have a higher percentage of body-fat than meets the eye. Resistance training is often omitted by people, even those who do exercise for general health. Many people will walk, jog, and bike for fitness but resistance training is just as important because aerobic exercise will develop little to no muscle. Indeed resistance training is a recommended activity for anyone looking to induce healthy living. Nowadays even many cardiologists are prescribing resistance training for their heart patients because when the skeletal muscles and strengthened, the heart experiences less stress during normal daily activities like grocery shopping or vacuuming the carpets. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends resistance training 2 to 3 times a week for all apparently healthy people, especially adults. If you need help putting together a resistance training program you can seek out the assistance of a qualified fitness trainer or even check out books on the subject from your local library free of charge to get you on your way. Remember that just because a person is thin does not mean they are lean. While being overweight is a determining factor in accessing risks to your health, so is carrying higher percentages of body-fat so don't just aim to be thin, aim to be lean.

The Endearing Language of Flowers

By Jay Stockman The fascination with flowers have captivated, and charmed people world wide. They represent a form of life that has endured evolution, and continues to flourish. With a diversity of colors, forms, scents, and uses, flowers have been revered by generations of admirers, and enthusiasts alike. Throughout history flowers have been the perfect form of expression, when words were hard to find. The language of flowers is a language of love, endearment, and respect. The truly popularity of flowers lies in their ability to bring joy, and good cheer.

The first flowering plants found were tiny herb-like flower fossils dating back 120 million years. An innumerable number of images of preserved flowers and flower parts have been found in fossils located all over the world. According to scientists, there are over 270,000 species of flowers that have been documented and are living in the twenty-first century. Scientists continue to marvel over the amazing diversity of species, and the species that have not changed much during evolution. Many flowers have coevolved with their pollination animals.

The flower is the reproductive organ of a plant. It is the job of the flower to produce seeds through fertilization, and pollination. Pollination requires animals (bees, hummingbirds, etc.), wind, or water to transfer male pollen to the female ovule. After a flower is fertilized, it develops into a fruit containing seeds. These seeds are the next generation, and serve as the means by which species of plants are dispersed across a field. Cross breeding can occur, and this leads to the enormous diversities seen.

The alluring nature of flowers has made them subjects of folklore, and poetry. Their medicinal use has been embraced by the east for centuries. A flowers fragrance is its personality, a beautiful bouquet of scents that permeate even the worst form of pollution. Flowers have been associated with religious symbolism, the lily signifying purity for example. The diversity of shapes and colors makes them the perfect decoration, and the perfect gift. The likelihood of two people having the same color, shape arrangement is very remote. Edible flowers have been used in the culinary field for flavor and garnish for many years.

It is clear that flowers do have a very endearing language. A language that is universal, without borders. A language that contains no negativity, nor prejudice. An unconditional way of expressing a feeling so deep, that words could never convey the true meaning. Regardless of the situation, the sight of a flower will always solicit a smile, and a sense of warmth.

The Day I Met You, An Interracial Love Story (Part 4)

By Tameka Norris The next morning I woke up and I was nervous. I looked over, across the room at Michael. He appeared to still be sleeping.
I stared up at the ceiling for awhile, lying in bed, wondering what we would get up to. Wondering how we would respond to one another. What we would be like now that things were officially "real." I had met him and what I felt was confirmed. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, and it was just a matter of getting acquainted, used to one another, and then it would all be as it should beus. At first it was awkward. We were quiet. I didn't really know what to say to him. He was different from what I knew. I'd spent my entire life around women. I had never gotten adjusted to men because there were no men around. This was my first and only time alone with a man longer than a few minutes. Once we got dressed the first place we went to was a little cafe a few blocks away. We settled ourselves in a booth and ordered breakfast. We chatted on and off a bit. He seemed to like to look me in the eye, which often made me shy. He often smiled when he did sowhich I thought his smile was very genuine and it brought such a light to his face. He had a wonderful smile. I'd never seen one quite like it. I turned my attention to the aquarium so that I wouldn't have to look at him. We made small talk, warming up a bit to one another. He seemed quite relaxed... far more than I was. But that seemed to be his demeanor. In which case, mine was to often feel uneasy. Once I had eaten some of my breakfast, and regarded that it was disgusting, I chose to call my sister since he hadn't finished his. I hadn't talked to my sister or mother in awhile and I didn't want them to worry about me. We had our girl talk. She asked how it was going. I told her "New York isn't very scaryas I had always pictured it in my mind. It smells a lot though." Then after we laughed about that she asked about Michael. I said, "He's very cute. He's better looking in person. He's cute in his pictures but there's something about him that you can't quite capture in the photos. He has the prettiest smile I've ever seen. It lights his face up." "Does he like you?" She said. "I don't know," I said. "I'm not quite sure. He keeps staring at me. I think he does, because I don't think he'd stare at me quite the way he does if he didn't, and if I know men well enough they make it pretty clear when they're not interested. But I don't know for sure. I can't tell. He's very difficult to read. I haven't had enough time around him yet." After about twenty minutes of gabbing I decided to end the phone call. "I better go back in," I said. "Are you scared?" "Yes," I said, and then we laughed and said goodbye. I went back inside, a bit nervous again when I sat down to join him. We chatted a bit about how bad the breakfast wasat least I did. The eggs were awful and the bacon was overcooked. Then once he finished packing up what was left of his meal we left. We talked briefly about what I said on the phone. He asked what I said, and I said, "I told her how cute you were," and smiled. Truly he was. He was very handsome. But it was also his spirit that made him that way. I could see his personality in his face... and it was like looking at a treasure. I never could quite get used to the beauty of it... and I never wanted to stop looking. "I didn't think you liked me," he said. I asked him why. He said, "Because you were quiet yesterday." "I was tired from all of the moving," I said. Which in a sense I was grateful for because it meant that I was so tired that I didn't have enough energy to make an idiot out of myself. We set off for Central Park after that and spent most of the day walking around and then visiting the zoo. A little later it seemed that we were enjoying ourselves a bit more than in the beginning. We were getting acquainted and I was becoming my usual self. Talking talking talking. Later after we visited the park we set out for the zoo, which was small but we were having quite a good time looking at the animals and making jokes about noisy children. Later we visited a musuem and then went back to the hostel in which we talked for a bit and prepared ourselves for tomorrow. Over the course of the week we went down to Chinatown, visited the World Trade Center areawhere the tragedy of September 11th had occured, and eventually set off for the Statue of Liberty. I remember that day much clearer than most. It was the first time I'd ever ridden on a ferry and it was such gift for my first time to be with Michael. We took pictures and viewed the island as we approached and I kept thinking how I never wanted the moment to end... for things to stay like that forever. Being close to him was no longer a difficulty for me. Finally, it wasn't such an awkward thing to keep bumping into him by accident, as we'd seemed to keep doing the entire time we were there. Most of all I rather looked forward to it... it meant that if only for a second I got to be close to him again. Days seemed so happy and the nightsI looked forward to those most of all. Because I knew once we got back to the hostel... we would sit next to one another, and I would put my head on his shoulder, and we hold hands and talk, and I would get to play his funny little games on his phone. Irreplacable moments that the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, or Chinatown could never compare to. He was better than any of it and no holiday or landmark could compete with how much he meant to me. He was one of a kind. Tameka Norris is the founder of Romantic Short Stories. The perfect blend of true love stories, romantic short stories, love poetry, and romantic tips.

Green Tea and Making Babies

By Vaughn Balchunas While green tea has been studied for its numerous health
benefits, theres at least one area of interest that needs
more attention. Can drinking green tea really enhance fertility? Now that's the one-hundred-thousand dollar question! Theres
a lot of conflicting opinions and research results
pertaining to that subject. We'll try to be fair and present
both sides of the issue. Any tea made from the Camellia sinensis bush contains
caffeine. On the bright side of the teapot, green tea has
only one-sixth to one-tenth of the amount of caffeine that a
similar amount of regular coffee contains. For those of us who are trying to watch our caffeine intake,
thats a good deal. If you need a caffeine fix though, green
tea isn't going to give you what you're looking for. Better
start looking for the nearest Starbucks. How can drinking green tea increase fertility? A study done by the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program
in Oakland, California revealed that the chances of
conceiving doubled for woman who daily drank more than one-
half cup of green tea containing caffeine (American Journal
of Public Health, 1998). Because this wasn't the case for
the other tested caffeinated beverages, caffeine wasn't
deemed the causing agent. Some credit was given to the
possibility that the polyphenols and hypoxanthine, compounds
found in tea, resulted in a greater number of viable
embryos, and increased maturation and fertilizability of
oocytes. Another conclusion of this study was that the healthy
lifestyle of many green tea drinkers, such as regular
exercise and decreased smoking and fat intake, might also
play a role in the enhanced fertility levels of the test
subjects. How can drinking green tea decrease fertility? Tannic acids, an element found in green tea, have been shown
to cause fertility problems and greater chances at
miscarrying. While not an "initial" fertility situation, rumor has it
that EGCG, the main disease-fighting antioxidant known as
catechins in green tea that have been found to impede the
growth of tumors, might also effect the blood vessel growth
of a developing embryo. Another post-fertility issue related to an excessive intake
of green tea involves the increased rate of birth defects. Past studies have concluded that coffee consumption
increases the risk of miscarriages and that caffeine intake
enhances the negative effects of alcohol intake on
fertility. While not directly related to green tea, caffeine
is the potential cause of such problems. Should I or shouldn't I drink green tea for fertility
issues? The best advice that we can give you is something you've
heard before. Check with your doctor first. Do your
homework. Then and only then can you make a truly educated
and well-informed decision about a very delicate issue.
Whatever you decide, we wish you the best of luck in your
quest for that new addition to your family. Cheers... REQUIREMENTS FOR REPRINT: You have permission to publish this article free of charge in your e-zine, newsletter, ebook, print publication or on your website ONLY if it remains unchanged and

Types of Rats

By Thomas Morva Rats are rodents that belong to the Rattus genus of the family Muridae. These are the most dominant species on earth. There are several species of rats in the world. Most rodents are herbivorous, but some are omnivorous. In general, there are two basic types of rats. They are black or roof rats and Norway or brown rats. Both are thought to have originated in Asia and are now widely distributed throughout the world. The brown rat, which is also known as the Norway rat, house rat, gray rat, barn rat, and wharf rat, is one of the best-known and is the larger of the two. Their scientific name is Rattus norvegicus. They are mostly grayish-brown, with a lighter colored stomach. A fully-grown brown rat is 18 to 26 cm long and weighs between 400 and 600 gm. They have a tail shorter than its body and their nose and muzzle are blunt. They prefer moist conditions and nest in deep burrows. Roof rats (Rattus Rattus) are also called black rats and ship rats. They are usually black, slender, 16-21 cm long and weigh about 80-300 gram. Their tail is longer than the head and body and their nose and muzzle are pointed. As the name suggest, roof rats are climbers. Their paws enable them to climb and build nests in upper parts of dwellings, attics, rafters and crossbeams of buildings. These rats breed when they are three to four months of age. They breed 1 to 13 times a year and produce 1 to 22 in a litter. Black rats and brown rats eat about the same things. Their diet typically includes seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, fruits, cereals, meats and invertebrates. They consume about one-third of their weight in food every 24 hours. They carry lethal diseases, damage structures and contaminate food. Some of the diseases potentially fatal to man that spread through rats are Weil's disease, plague, salmonella food poisoning and toxoplasmosis.

Russian Women Dating Isn't Getting Any Easier

By Vitaliy Melnik Today, if you look in the Internet for Russian women, you'll come up with millions of pages and thousands of dating services presenting beautiful ladies' profiles craving to find men from abroad. The first impression - it's like a sea teaming with fish. Just dip your hand and fish out the prettiest one. But is this really that easy? Personally, I don't think so. And this view of mine is backed by enough facts to prove it's correct. Statistics say 96% of the people who use online dating services fail to find a compatible person with whom to have a dating relationship. The main reason is because most people approach online dating services with unrealistic expectations and absolutely unprepared. When they don't find a perfect match after some short period of time they give up and try something else. Despite what all dating services want you to believe, your perfect match isn't going to just fall out of the blue one day. It takes persistent searching, careful screening, and lots of women to contact to increase your chances of success. Keep your expectations low key; don't set yourself up for failure by getting too excited when you see an interesting profile. Forget all the stories that dating agencies are spreading about marrying a Russian girl. Yes, you can find a woman 30 years younger, and even can marry her, but your marriage will rarely last for more than 2 years - the necessary time for receiving a Green Card. Russian woman is not desperate to find a husband from abroad or emigrate from Russia. She's usually attractive, well educated and smart. And her goal is not your country's passport as you might think. She seeks a compatible partner As anywhere else, Russian women are looking for attractive, financially secure, healthy guys. None of them would dream to get married to some ugly men with bad character and health problems, struggling with everyday survival. Those times have passed forever, when some 5-10 years ago any foreigner could easily find in Russia a beautiful young intelligent lady 30 years younger than him, who was eager to become his wife. If you ever happened to encounter some "happily ever after" stories that took place more than 5 years ago, be aware those rules have no effect any longer: the world has changed since then, and today's Russia is nothing like it was in the 90s. Good news or bad one, but your foreign passport alone does not ensure your success with Russian ladies any more. Vitaliy Melnyk,

Wedding Planning - Your Honeymoon

By Eric Hartwell Planning a wedding, whether big or small, entails a lot of preparation on the part of the people involved. For the bride and groom, the planning does not end after the wedding ceremony or the reception that comes afterwards. There are still a number of things to do after your wedding. As the newly-married couples, you will wish to continue to celebrate your time together well after the festivities have ended. This is usually enacted by proceeding to your honeymoon destination immediately after the reception. This is easier said and done. The honeymoon destination is something that must be planned and agreed well before the time is upon you. That means well in advance. During the planning stage, the bride and groom must decide and agree on where they want to spend their time after the wedding. Between you, make a list of appropriate and agreeable destinations. You must, of course, pack beforehand including all the things that you will need on the intended trip so that you need not bother with this task during the celebrations. The honeymoon is an important part after your wedding since it marks the first time that the bride and groom will be left alone to enjoy their marital union (traditionally, at least). The honeymoon choice can be one which causes some friction between bride and groom. It is best to choose somewhere neutral where neither of you have been or perhaps where you have both previously been, The honeymoon period should be one of enjoyment and relaxation and you should not have any worries or concerns and especially no conflicts during this time. So, plan well in advance and make the most of your knowledge of each other and your personal likes and dislikes as you book and plan this special vacation.

Sowing Seeds

By Briscoe White Temperatures are still too cold for setting out spring plants in Virginia, but spring is here and the nursery staff is busy. Seeds need to be sown, cuttings taken, and plugs planted. The new ellepots are living up to their claims; the greenhouse staff loves them because the plants are doing great in them and growing faster than they ever have. Now is a good time to start seeds inside, to be set outside later. Timing is everything as you do not want to start too early. Seedlings become stretched and thin when grown inside too long. During cool and cloudy days; fungus will grow on the seedlings; causing them to fall over, looking pinched at soil level. This is called damping off, and can be prevented by lightly covering the soil surface with spagnum moss. Just shake the spagnum over the soil, leaving a thin layer. This changes the soil surface Ph, eliminating fungus. This nursery had a retail outlet for 20 years; always I was amazed at how unwilling people are to grow their plants from seed. Space is no excuse, as I have germinated in a Coke bottle, and in a bathroom window, grew my little salad crop. So if you are reading this article, I recommend you grow at least one type of plant from seed this spring and grow it throughout the summer coming soon. Seed catalogs have all the information on how to germinate and grow each plant they offer. Choose an easy to grow plant and plan out its whole life cycle in your space; be it apartment or yard. Don't be afraid of killing anything, some of your plants may die, treat this as no big deal; it would have died sooner or later without your help. What is important is that you learn from mistakes, and try again. This is what gardening is all about and how any good gardener grows a beautiful garden. Only over time can you develop an understanding or feel for plants and how they grow. In 1985, Briscoe White opened The Growers Exchange in an abandoned Texaco station on a busy urban street corner in Richmond, Virginia. The facility has grown over the years, and is now 5 distinct growing environments with 5 acres under cover. Briscoe has over 25 years of gardening experience.

The Humble Banana

By Michael Russell To find a fruit that is close to perfect than look no further than the humble banana. It gratifies hunger pangs from the time its tips are green and its flesh is firm and slightly tart until its golden skin is speckled with brown and the fruit is creamy sweet. Bananas are in supply all year round and most of the bananas we can purchase at the market are from Central America. This fruit is harvested when fully developed but are still green in color. Because the fruit ripens satisfactorily off the tree the bananas are picked at this time even when to be eaten locally. The two main varieties that we enjoy are the Gros Michel and the Cavendish. The Gros Michel is big and long with a tapered tip and thick yellow skin and the Cavendish are shorter, squatter and curved with a thinner yellow skin. Connoisseurs prefer the Cavendish as they describe the flavor of the Gros Michel as just 'adequate.' Although we tend to just buy the Gros Michel and the Cavendish in the States there are over a hundred different variety of banana cultivated across the world. Thankfully more and more of these varieties are becoming available here in the States which allows us to become somewhat more adventurous. There are handsome red skinned bananas, which have a sweet, faintly pink flesh. Then there are the Sabas and Brazilians, which are very straight and ripen to tartness. Finger sized Mansano bananas have a sweet tart taste. Whichever banana you buy always select plump bananas with vibrant looking skin. Should the skin appear dull, the fruit may have been damaged by cold and will not ripen. Bananas are very susceptible to bruising, but superficial brown lines on the skin indicating nicks and scratches most likely will have not harmed the fruit inside. If the whole area on the skin is dark, it indicates that the bruise is more than skin deep. Make sure that the skin is intact as an opening in the envelope invites spoilage. Bananas should be allowed to ripen at room temperature and out of the sun. They should be turned daily. Ripe bananas can be put in the refrigerator but their skins will blacken. To prepare a banana just peel it and remove the fibrous strings. If cutting a banana coat the pieces with citrus juices to keep them from darkening. After cooking a banana becomes even sweeter. They can be baked, grilled, broiled and sauted. If you wish to mash a banana for stirring into a batter then make sure you use fruit that is fully ripe. Grilled bananas are a fun way to end a barbecue and only take 30 seconds to a minute. To add the finishing touch sprinkle with ground cinnamon or ground ginger or both. Bananas can also be frozen and dried. Frozen bananas are wonderful for smoothie making! Bananas are so versatile and can be eaten alone, cooked or served alongside ice cream. Chocolate ice cream and bananas were made for each other. Michael Russell
