Great Breath - This is very important. Make sure you brush your teeth before going out on your date. There is nothing worse than kissing someone with bad breath. If your date consists of having something to eat before the actual kiss, make sure you have a mint on hand to take right after you finish eating. Don't take the mint just before the kiss or chew on gum. You don't want to have something in your mouth when you kiss.
Moist Lips - You want your lips to be slightly moist when you kiss. Run your tongue over your lips once before you kiss. Don't wear lip gloss because that tends to make the kiss too gooey. And don't wear a lot of lipstick unless you want your partner to wear it too after the kiss. Slightly moist lips makes it easier to move your lips over your partner's and gives both you and your partner a more pleasant experience.
Positioning - Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction.
Close Eyes - Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you know what your partner prefers, it is best to close your eyes.
Open Lips - Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just leave them still over your partners.
Closed Lips - This is like the type of kiss you'd give your grandma or aunt. Instead of opening your mouth when your lips meet, keep them closed. This is also a good way of letting your partner know this is as far as it goes. It also makes a great hello/good-bye kiss or a great first time kiss if you're nervous.
Two years ago I decided to stretch Valentine's Day out all year long. After cutting out 365 pink, red and white hearts from copy paper, I set out on the daunting yet loving task of placing a special message on each one.
Some were scripture notes from the Bible to give encouragement or verses that were special to me and by wife. Some were date notes: movie of your choice, dinner out, dinner fixed by me, a drive to the beach, etc. Some were chore or help notes: I do the dishes for a week, I'll clean the bathrooms, I'll watch the baby this weekend, etc. And some were sweet nothings: back rub, take a long bath, take a nap while I take the baby, let's look at our wedding photos and reminisce...
Once all the hearts had a message, each was folded and placed in a large jar decorated with appropriate Valentine's colors and shapes. I wrapped her special gift, which she opened and then placed on the counter where she could reach for each day's note, to be used at her discretion. It has been a simple yet wonderful way to keep us aware of each others needs.
Things getting worse and worse day by day, It’s the either time or you going astray, Words are not enough, thinking what to say, It’s only me and my cigarette, getting dump in ash tray.
O God, You are wiser, all knower, Almighty. Please take my life, grant me death, cordially.
She is charming, joyous and very lovely in the crowd, I’ve turned dull, quite and very lonely wherever I go out. She left me alone in this crowd, Left me in past and gifted me, rain cloud. Flood of pain in my heart. Welcome drop of tear from the cloud.
O God, You are wiser, all knower, Almighty. Please take my life, grant me death, cordially.
Praying to God, Bestow death to me, God said: O child I’ve already bestowed you an apple tree. Love is what I’m gifted by god. Die and die each day until you thrive. So they say, An apple a day will kill you away, each day, every day…

Choosing a romantic gift for Valentine's Day for a woman should be a pleasure, with thoughts and feelings of how much it will make her feel loved and special.
Plan a full Valentine's Day, to make her Valentine's gift unique. The gift will be a series of gifts and events spread throughout the day. Timing and order are very important and that is something you will have to decide depending on your wife or girlfriend.
The permutations for a true Valentine's Day are endless. Think about the best timing and order for her to get maximum pleasure. For example, if a romantic candle-lit evening meal is an essential, then you need to plan way ahead..
Valentine's Day comes but once a year, so make it just a day. If your budget allows, then try spending some time to figure about what would make her feel very happy, spoiled, pampered and intensely loved.
While it cannot be that much of a surprise as a day, you can keep the individual elements of the day and the physical gifts secret.
Here are some examples.
1. A very beautiful Valentine Card on the breakfast table awaiting her or special delivery by a courier to her.
2. Early morning delivery of flowers to her home or yours, if you live together.
3. A light lunch somewhere that is a bit out of the ordinary or anything else with a romantic touch.
4. She'll be feeling on top of the world by now, a great time to go to a boutique or two to find that perfect outfit for the evening meal.
5. Home on schedule, to await the delivery of a gift basket that includes a bottle of her favorite wine, some feminine and floral fragrances.
6. While she's in the bath, hide a new bottle of a perfume she has always wanted inside the new dress so she will find it as she gets ready for the evening.
7. A wonderful candle-lit meal with her favorite choice of foods; a romantic ambience to top off the evening.
8. As you order your dessert, a timely flower delivery of fresh roses delivered to the restaurant and then your table.
9. Back home and an offer to open the wine.
10.. While she is in the bathroom, replace the bedroom lighting with scented candles and place her last gift, some new lingerie, on the pillow to await her.
I THOUGHT TO POST THIS ARTICLE AS A WARNING FOR EVERYONE. MIGHT BE HELPFUL SOMEHOW FOR ALL OF US.

Be suspicious of these people! The person is young and suspiciously attractive. If you are, for example, 40 years old, it would be suspicious if a 20 year old contacts you. It can happen but most of the time people tend to stick to their age range. The person falls in love with you very quickly, usually within a few weeks. The person needs money for a visa or for travel expenses to visit you. The person may mention that a local travel agency is handling the travel details. You should also know that a person from outside your country cannot get a visa without the involvement of your country’s embassy. The person lost his/her job and needs medical support and money. The person uses an Internet cafe and needs money to keep in touch with you. Don’t be surprised if in the so-called manager of this Internet Cafe contacts you. The person has no postal address nor phone number. Questions about personal information that you can verify are not very welcome and the person will try to avoid those questions by acting offended or by simply ignoring your questions. However, beware that more advanced fraudsters may actually provide you with some fake personal information.

The compilation comprises three versions of the classic valentine's day biller dour as written by a doctor, a scientist & a mathematician.....
DOCTOR; My dear valentine,
It has been two months since my sensory organs have exchanged impulses with my brain,telling me to write a letter to u. Even though a distance more than the span of my arms seperates us, You are always present in all the four chambers of heart, I visualise ur beauty every day and imprint it on the retina of my eyes. I have even grown ur fovourite roses in my garden. It is indeed a delightful experience when their fragance excites my ox factory nerves and when the delightful color of their corolla reminds me of you..
Yours lovingly, Christian Bernard. SCIENTIST; My beloved valentine,
As we approach a summer solstice yet again. I am reminded that today is a day of love. I discover time and again, that I am attracted to you, the way an electron is attracted to the nucleus. A centripetal force accelerates me towards thee. I experience a centrifugal force as I drive round and round ur house in my 4 stroke internal combustion engine equipped automobile. I am conviced that a covalent bond exists between us. Come then, my free radical, and let us ionize our lives together
Urs always, Humphery Davy.
MATHEMATICIAN; My sweet valentine,
Ever since the day I set my eyes on you, my heart beats at approx 175 times per second and I have a blood rush of velocity that tends to 15 meters per sec. The only obstacle I calculated is ur father, for presence of him triples my heartbeat. I implore thee to get him to reduce his hatres fo me till it tends to zero. I am not a perfect man, and I hae several drawbacks. But I a, confident that my negatives shall be nullfied by ur positives. Let our love continue to grow at an exponential rate, and in the same time period let us hope ypur father's hatred for me depreciates.
Your's till infinity, John Napier.
Warning -- Malware Makers Exploit Bhutto Assassination
Malware makers exploited the breaking news of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination on Thursday by attempting to dupe users into downloading attack code, security researchers said. Searches for news about Bhutto's killing and the ensuing chaos in Pakistan listed sites pimping a bogus video codec, said analysts at McAfee, Symantec and WebSense.
For instance, WebSense found such a site simply by using 'benazir' to search on Google. Meanwhile, McAfee quickly located 10 sites hosted on Blogger.com, Google's blog service, that were spreading the fake codec.
The sites use the well-worn tactic of promising a video - in this case one of Bhutto's assassination - but telling Windows users that they need to install a new high-definition video codec, the program that decodes the digital data stream, to view the clip. Naturally, the so-called codec is no such thing, but is instead rigged code that downloads a variant of the Zlob Trojan horse, a back door that can infect the compromised PC with a wide range of other malware.
"Even death isn't sacred to some," said Symantec researcher Vikram Thakur in a post to the company's security response blog.
Other hackers are relying on the news of Bhutto's assassination to draw users to sites that forgo the codec angle and instead conduct drive-by attacks, said Rahul Mohandas, a security analyst at McAfee's Avert Labs unit. "There are a plethora of sites which attempt drive-by installations when unsuspecting users visit search-engine results for 'Benazir Bhutto'," said Mohandas in a post to the Avert Labs blog this morning. "Many of these compromised pages have malicious scripts, which point to the 3322 domain. These pages contain obfuscated variants of the MS06-014 exploit, which is perhaps one of the most popular of all the exploits we see on a daily basis."

In the event that a mobile phone/ cell phone accidentally gets immersed in water, you should follow these steps:
(1) IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE BATTERY. VERY VERY IMPORTANT! 60 seconds later and it may be too late. The battery is usually the source of damage, not just the water alone. Water+Battery = Short Circuits! So REMOVE the battery! And DONT TEST the cellphone after it's been dropped in water! (2) As soon as possible (preferably within 20-30 minutes). dissassemble the phone using Torx T6 screwdriver. (3) Clean/dry as much as you can, using Q-Tips (4) Dry the electronics components under a desk lamp on a paper towel for 24 hours. A drop of water may have gone under chips and components where you cannot dry, so you need to dry under a 40/60w desk lamp, or 24 hours under a desk fan pointed down at the disassembled components. (5) Reassemble the phone (6) Put back together (7) Only now it's safe to put the battery back in. ( Phone may be good as new.
Try not use a hairdryer, unless with heat turned off or at very low settings. You do not want to scorch the electronics. A hairdryer may help in some cases, but more often than not (especially with clean water), a hairdryer will usually cause more damage caused by the stresses of expansion-contraction caused by all the heat. It's best to keep things cold, to keep any contaminants in the water as chemically inactive as possible.
If you follow these instructions, you have a reasonably good chance of a working phone after a non-waterproof phone was thrown into water.
When I wanted to know about the mobile stuff then I saw this to check the the quality of mobile. Which are as follows:-

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 08 or 80 that mean s it was manufactured in Germany which is not bad
IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 01 or 10 that mean it's manufactured in Finland which is Good
IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 00 that means it was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality ....
IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 13 that means it was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very poor quality and potentially very dangerous to your health!!!

This is nice - finding positive out of every negative - which we don't always manage to do.
I am thankful... 1. For the husband who snores all night, because he is at home asleep with me and not with someone else.
2. For my teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home & not on the streets.
3. For the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed.
4. For the mess to clean after a party because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.
5. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
6. For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
7. For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning because it means I have a home.
8. For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means that we have freedom of speech.
9. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.
10. For the noise I have to bear from my neighbours because it means that I can hear.
11. For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.
12. For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been capable of working hard.
13. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am still alive.
and finally
If you learn to find positive out of every negative, then you will be the happiest person in this world
Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie?
Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?
Of all the free gifts we may receive, Prayer is the very best one....
There are no costs, but wonderful rewards... GOD BLESS!
Notes:
Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?
Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will no t send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.
Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.
You dont need to know where you going When you know the ONE who does.

Stress or strain is one of the biggest problems of modern times. Everyone suffers more or less from this problem, not only physically but also mentally. Stress can make your life miserable. The only way to overcome it is to learn how to relax.
Though the experts don’t usually advise this, watching television may be a way to help you relax. Of course, it could be that when you are watching television your mind gets stimulated in many ways. There are commercials, ads and many other things that keep your mind busy. So television may not always be counted as a very useful medium to get relaxed. Of course there are many other methods that will both relieve stress and keep you relaxed.
Experts are of the opinion that heart disease and bad temper are direct results of stress. Too much stress can be the reason for ischemia which leads to a heart attack. So relaxation is necessary for everyone. Relaxation is the most important way to keep yourself healthy both physically and mentally.
Transcendental meditation is one way to get relaxed. Research has shown that TM can even check blocked arteries, which is considered to be one of the main causes of heart attack and stroke. This type of meditation includes whispering soft sounds repeatedly when you are meditating. You can achieve complete relaxation in this way. People who practice daily transcendental meditation can considerably reduce the thickness of the arterial wall.
Acupuncture, another way to relax, is also capable of controlling high blood pressure. This process helps to facilitate the release of endorphins. Endorphins are chemical compounds which are known to help relax muscles, ease panic and alleviate stress.
Another excellent way to be tension-free is to practice yoga. Both yoga and acupuncture give almost similar results. An experimental study was conducted to see how the process of yoga works. In this study the participants were put through mental stress for a few minutes. Then different relaxation methods were used to lower the level of stress like listening to calming natural sounds or classical music. The participants who did yoga took less time to get back their blood pressures to normal.
There are various techniques of breathing that can help you feel less tense. Deep, conscious breathing is an easy and effective way to feel relaxed. If done properly, rhythmic breathing works by providing a soothing effect on us. You can feel the results very quickly.
You can do also do some undemanding exercises. Just exercise for a half-hour. It will lessen your irritation and stress level. Generally exercises are used mainly to lose weight but exercise can also be used to lessen nervous tension. Exercise should be combined with another relaxation method.
Massage is a truly magical stress-reducer. Go to a professional physical therapist and you can experience the miraculous power of message! Different types of massage achieve different levels of relaxation.
Biofeedback can also be used to reduce tension. Usual a biofeedback-training program needs several 10-hour sessions every other week.
Drugs are considered the very last option for relaxation. Only after you have tried all other methods of relaxation should you think about drugs as a solution. Drugs can have serious side effects so if someone needs to take drugs, it should only be under a doctor’s supervision.
Sometimes all you want from a relaxation procedure is only to chill out. Besides releasing stress, relaxation is important to keep blood pressure under control and to reduce the chances of a stroke or heart attack. Stress weakens our immune system by producing hormones. The immune system works far more efficiently after relaxation.
Relaxation also controls our emotions. These emotions are caused by the actions that take place inside the brain’s limbic system. The right hand side of your brain needs more activity from time to time. Relaxation helps the brain in this area.
You really can have a stress-free, healthy life if you choose your relaxation technique wisely. Just be sure to choose a way that suits you and your lifestyle and be sure to do it regularly.
Prithviraj Chauhan has always been a name familiar to students of Indian history. His exploits still crop up in school textbooks. Residents of Ajmer speak of him reverently, centuries after his time. Now, introducing this ruler to a whole new generation is a television series called Prithviraj Chauhan. A primer on the courageous raja.
Who was he?
Prithviraj III was born around 1168 to King Someshwara Chauhan and his wife Karpuravalli. They belonged to the Rajput Chauhan dynasty, and were rulers of a kingdom in north India. The Chauhans traced their origins to the rulers of Sapadlaksh province and, according to legend, Ajmer was founded by their ancestor Ajaipal Chauhan in the early sixth century.
Why is he famous?
He succeeded to the throne in 1179, while still a minor, with his mother acting as regent. He ruled for 13 years from the twin capitals of Ajmer and Delhi, and there are a whole lot of glorious feats attributed to him -- such as his defeat of the king of Gujarat. Most legendary, however, is the tale of his elopement with Sanyogita.
Who was sanyogita?
The daughter of Jai Chandra, the Gahadvala king of Kannauj. He was a neighbouring ruler who constantly conspired against Prithviraj on account of the latter's ascending popularity. Things went downhill when Prithviraj eloped with his daughter. Worse, he ran away with her during her swayamvar, where she was to pick a husband, and where his name had been deliberately omitted from the list of invitees.
According to the famous Prithviraj Raso, an epic poem composed by Prithviraj's court poet Chand Bardai, Sanyogita preferred to garland a statue of Prithviraj in the latter's absence. He promptly turned up and whisked her away. See why he's still popular?
What else did the king do?
Quite a bit, actually. He conquered several neighbouring kingdoms for a start, and consolidated control of his kingdom, making it one of north India's leading realms. He recaptured Delhi from the Tomara Rajputs, campaigned against the Chandela Rajputs of Bundelkhand, and went on to rule much of present-day Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
He is also revered because of his famous battle with the Afghan invader Mohammad Ghori towards the end of the twelfth century. Apparently, after his army defeated Ghori's, Prithviraj let the Afghan go despite being warned not to.
That story can't have a good ending.
It doesn't. Ghori returned a year later. Prithviraj sent him a letter reminding him of how he had spared his life, and asked him to leave. Ghori said he was waiting for his brother's orders to do so, and moved his camp back a few kilometres. Knowing that Rajputs didn't fight by night, he suddenly attacked in the early hours, taking Prithviraj's army by surprise.
Prithviraj was defeated in what is known as the Second Battle of Tarain, and died a heroic death.

2-way mirror - Very Important!!!!! For ALL WOMEN, U R BEING WATCHED.....
How to determine if a mirror is 2 way or not (Not a Joke!)? Not to scare you, but to make sure that you aware. Many of the Hotels and Textile showrooms cheat the customers this way & watch privately.
HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR? When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them. There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?
CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror.
However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!(There is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do.
This is a really good thing to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mir! ror UNDER the glass. Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms. May be someone is making a film on you. Ladies:Share this with your friends. Men:Share this with your sisters, wife, daughters, friends, colleagues, etc.
2. What could be more classic than a fine gold locket with your photo inside? (Maybe a photo of the two of you.)
*********
3. Bring home one small, unexpected gift each week.
*********
4. Write a classic, romantic, passionate, handwritten, heartfelt love letter. Most adults haven't written a love letter since high school. (Why not? Have we lost our youthful idealism, or have we just gotten lazy?)
*********
5. When traveling, give your partner a bouquet of roses; one rose for each day that you'll be away. Attach a note that says something like this: "These three roses represent the three days I'll be away from you. They also symbolize the love, joy, and laughter we share together."
*********
6.Say "I love you" at least one times a day.
*********
7. Guys: Surprise her by performing one of her chores for her. (And not something easy like carrying the groceries in from the car, but something that requires some time and effort -- like cooking all the meals over a weekend, or cleaning the entire house.)
*********
8. Ladies: Send him a letter sealed with a kiss. (Use your reddest lipstick.)
*********
9. Hold hands.
*********
10. On your yearly romantic checklist, make plans for Valentine's Day -- well in advance!
I . Face and accept the reality of getting old, its consequences and the limitations which growing old brings. Act and behave your age.
Quit fooling yourself by trying to look like you were in your youth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
II . Focus on enjoying people, not on indulging in or accumulating material things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
III . Plan to spend whatever you have saved. You deserve to enjoy it and the few healthy years you have left. Travel if you can afford it. Don't leave anything for your children or loved ones to quarrel about. By leaving anything, you may even cause more trouble when you Are gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
IV . Live in the here and now, not in the yesterdays and tomorrows. It is only today that you can handle. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may not even happen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
V . Enjoy your grandchildren (if you are blessed with any) but don't be their full time baby sitter. You have no moral obligation to take care of them.
Don't have any guilt about refusing to baby sit anyone's kids, including your own grandkids. Your parental obligation is to your children.
After you have raised them into responsible adults, your duties of child-rearing and babysitting are finished.
Let your children raise their own off-springs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
VI . Accept physical weakness, sickness and other physical pains. It is a part of the aging process. Enjoy whatever your health can allow.

not for what you have. Anyone who loves you for what you have will just give you misery.

IX . Forgive and accept forgiveness. Forgive yourself and others. Enjoy peace of mind and peace of soul.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
X . Befriend death. It's a natural part of the life cycle. Don't be afraid of it. Death is the beginning of a new and better life. So,
prepare yourself not for death but for a new life.
"He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything." -Arabian Proverb
1.Move More Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!
2.Cut Fat Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!
3.Quit Smoking The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.
4. Reduce Stress Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.
5. Protect Yourself from Pollution If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.
6.Wear Your Seat Belt Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.
7.Floss Your Teeth Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss.
8.Avoid Excessive Drinking While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.
9.Keep a Positive Mental Outlook There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing.
10.Choose Your Parents Well The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny

3 Second Rule- The 3 second rule is the idea that you should talk to a girl within 3 seconds of seeing her. If you hesitate the girl will notice and you will also convince yourself not to talk to her. When you see the smile make sure you start talking.
Alpha Male - The Alpha Male is the big, strong, attractive guy that has everything going for him. Women want to be with him and guys want to be him.
Bitch Shield - When you are trying to meet a woman and she acts like a bitch when you talk to her this is just her bitch shield. This is a shield the woman uses to get guys to leave her alone. The woman is probably not a bitch but she can only take so many guys hitting on her a night.
Drama Queen - A drama queen is a woman that always needs drama in her life. This type of woman will gossip about everything and turn every situation into a fight. Try to avoid the drama queens. For some reason white girls seem to be huge drama queens.
Daddy Cravings - This refers to a girl that did not have a good father in her life. This type of girl wants you to act like her dad and let her know when she is doing something wrong. They crave guys that put them in there place because they never had a dad to do it for them. They seek guys attention because they did not get it while they were growing up.
Friend Line - The "Friend Line" is the line you want to cross with the girl you like. You try to get her to cross the friend line but she wants to just stay friends. Lovena is here to help you get her across that line.
Friend-Zone - The "Friend Zone" is where you get stuck when the girl you like talks to you just like she talks to her other friends. She does not see you as a boyfriend but just as a friend. It's hard to get out of the friend zone but not impossible.
Hot & Cold - Hot and Cold is when a girl is acting like she likes you then moments later she is totally ignoring you.
Opportunity Knocking - This describes the time when a girl is vulnerable and you make your move to become more than friends. The girl will need someone around and you will be the person there for her. This is a great time to break out of the dreaded friend zone.
With the rise of the internet, more and more people are looking for dates online. While the internet provides many advantages to traditional dating, there are some things you should be aware of. Below are some tips you should follow when dating online.
1. When looking at dating online, it is important to use quality online dating services. Many chatrooms or forums may be undesireable places to look for a potential partners. Chat rooms don't give you a solid idea of who you are chatting with. Online dating services list detailed profiles, with photos and information about the person.
2. When choosing a user name, choose something clean. If you use profanity in your user name, you will send the wrong message to people who may view your profile. When you meet someone in person, your appearance says a lot about you. Online, what you write says things about you as well.
3. It is unwise to give out personal information when you first meet someone. Use your first name only and give them only a vague idea of were you live. If you're not ready to meet them in person, there is no reason to give out any person details about yourself.
4. When you feel comfortable enough with the person to begin chatting outside the dating service, it is best to use separate email and instant message accounts. Take your time and get to know them via the internet. Don't rush to see them in person, and don't encourage them to immediately come see you.
5. Don't judge someone based on their photograph. It can be an old picture of them or a picture of someone else. If you begin to feel more comfortable with the person, start by talking to them on the phone after you've became more acquainted with them. You can block your number or use a pay phone.
6. When you do decide to meet, meet in a public place and bring friends or family with you. Let everyone know where you're going. Never leave with them or follow them to an isolated area. It is also wise to keep copies of any conversations you have with them.
7. Even if someone isn't your ideal match, you should be polite. Don't be rude or obnoxious. It is just as important to be polite in the online world as it is to be polite offline. Online dating has some great advantages, but it is important to be safe and protect yourself.
Many men have no trouble meeting women but they do have trouble meeting the right type of woman. The problem is guys go to the wrong places to meet that special one. The following is my list of the worst place to meet women.
1. Clubs - If you are looking for a one night stand or just want to see beautiful women then the club is a great place for you, however the club is a horrible place to meet a good woman. The women are at the club for a reason, they want to have a good time and hook up with an attractive guy. What do you think the girl will do if you start dating her? She will be at the club dancing with better looking guys. I am not saying all the girls at the club are trouble, just most of them. I give the odds of meeting a good woman at a club 5%. At 5% odds you will have a lot of failures trying to get a good woman at the club.
2. Bars - The odds of meeting a good woman at the bar are better than the club but it is still a waste of time. Go to the bar to hang out with your friends not to meet the girl of your dreams because you won’t find her there. Women go to the bar to drink with there friends and meet cute guys. If the woman is going to the bar now chances are she will be at the bar while you are dating her. You don’t want your woman at the bar with drunk guys hitting on her all night. Another downside of meeting a woman at the bar is you may end up with a drunk. That’s the last thing you want besides an STD.

Women’s attitude towards their best friends, in fact, to intimacy generally is very different from men’s. The difference is so glaring that it sometimes leads to problems in their relationship as it concerns other people. For women, closeness can involve being completely open and honest with their girlfriends. For men, the closest relationship does not have to involve a complete baring of the heart, or a sharing of insights that reveal too much soul.
Which is why men often feel frustrated with the amount of time and attention a woman may shower on her girlfriend. And well they might, because a woman’s girlfriend is likely to hold her most secret, most important feelings about life, love, and her partner… For a man, the presence of his wife or partner’s girlfriend is like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode, particularly if things between him and his woman have not been going too well. Every time he meets the partner’s girlfriend, he feels her silent condemnation, as if the problems between him and his partner are being seen through a huge magnifying glass, and he is looking just like a large green worm!
A man has to be really deep in crisis, close to breaking point, to actually open up to his best friend and say, “I don’t know, yaar…Its become really difficult. My wife’s gone to visit her parents with our son, and this time she says she doesn’t want to come back.” He may be quite close to tears, but he won’t let them fall. The male friend will put his arm round him, and briefly sympathize, perhaps share some horror stories of his own relationship, then both will be ready to go on to a round of billiards and some time in the bar for consolation, with no further reference to the crisis.
In contrast, women talk endlessly about their relationships, and find the exasperating antics of men great fodder for lots of amusement and shared laughter, and some inevitable pain. “I start talking about Aman as soon as I reach my friend’s place, or wherever we have met for lunch or coffee, and she tells me about her husband, and we keep coming back to it at different points in the time we meet,” says Devika, a young insurance consultant. “Discussing our relationships is very important – its how we support each other.”
Thus a conversation between women friends can cover topics like how their husbands litter the bed with wet towels, and hoots of laughter can greet descriptions of a husband searching for something in a shelf, or trying to cook an omelette. This is not an intentional attempt to be wicked, whatever men may think. It is the necessary software to keep girlfriends in good humour with each other by sharing their takes on men in general and their men in particular. Essential element of female bonding, so to speak.
Is it any wonder that a man looks at his wife’s girlfriend with wariness and suspicion? He looks closely at her manner every time they have to interact. His thoughts are not comfortable. Is she mocking him? Being too suspiciously respectful? Does she secretly think he is a creep? What has his wife/girlfriend told this woman? How can he come out in the open and ask her what she knows?
Smart women who know how to give due importance to both, their spouse or partner, and their best friend, manage to give exclusive time to both. Seeing the best friend at times when the spouse does not need you, and not prefacing remarks with ‘Neha (or Chitra, or Benita) says…’ are definitely good strategies! Then there are other women who have always had a tendency to depend more on their girl friends (remember in your class the girls who always went to drink water together from the cooler?) and have these around every so often in the married home. This, strangely enough becomes a threat not only to the husband himself, but also to his other married friends! My husband used to secretly mutter ‘Stepney’ (spare wheel) to himself for years, referring to an unmarried girlfriend of one of his friends’ wives. Luckily this politically incorrect act of his was never discovered.
Because of the closeness they represent to a woman’s heart, best friends pose a serious challenge to husbands. A wise woman will tread the path between her girlfriend and her husband with care, being loving and giving to both, even as she receives their distinctly different, but important affection.
Since most people follow the same routine day in and day out, it can be easy to get caught in a rut. To avoid this trap, it is essential to shake up your routine every now and then. This article offers nine ways you can jump start your thinking processes.
In this society, where we have so many things competing for our time and attention, we need to shake up our routines occasionally to gain new perspectives and more effective ways to spend our time. The following are ways you can alter your routines and in the process make better use of your time:
1. Get up one hour earlier. Twenty-five years ago, the concept of late night (11:00 p.m.) news was unknown. People went to bed at 9:30 or 10:00. Once people began staying up for the late news, the networks began running late night talk shows. As a result, the entire population is staying up later than the generation before them did. Why not go to bed earlier, and wake up an hour earlier? Even if you don’t go to bed earlier, try getting up an hour earlier on occasion ---you won’t miss the sleep that much. In that extra hour, you can watch the sun rise, meditate, do some exercises, or go to work before traffic gets bad.
The activities you do in that extra hour can affect your whole perspective on the day. To gain greater control of your time, to shake up your routine, and to get a fresh perspective, occasionally alter your sleep routine--you won’t miss Letterman that much.
2. Work on the porch of your house instead of in the office. When you change your venue and the scenery, you open up new vistas. When you do this for some of your tasks (especially tasks that require conceptualization or creative thinking), you’ll be more productive than you ever were before. As the author of 18 books, I find that I can proofread much better on the porch or in a swing than when I’m at the desk. Begin to identify the places in your life that are welcome retreats to which you can go and work--a library, sitting in your car in a parking lot, even a shopping center. When you change where you’re working, you can benefit immensely and immediately.
3. If possible, don’t get your mail until Friday. Postpone tearing through all your mail. Most things are not so urgent that you need to attend to them that day. We tend to place an immediacy upon things that often is unnecessary.
4. If possible, hold all calls for two days. Think of it as if you were on vacation and unable to be reached for a couple of days. You don’t have to respond immediately to every call. When you hold your calls for a few hours--or a day--you open up time so you can get things done in a way that is impossible when you are preoccupied with answering calls. Work surveys show that the primary disrupter and time-waster of the workday is the telephone. Of course, you don’t want to be totally inaccessible all of the time, but you can coach those who may call you.
For example, leave a message on your answering system or with your receptionist saying that you’ll be inaccessible for two days, or until 3:00, or whatever. In this way you are directing them politely and professionally in a way that benefits you both; you will gain a brief respite and they will know when they can reach you.
5. Work under a tree or at a pool, during nice weather. This is an extension of the idea of working on the porch. In this case, however, being near nature opens up a way of viewing things that you would not get if you were in the office. When working in a natural, tranquil setting, you’ll gain peace of mind in your otherwise hectic work routine.
6. Drop the unproductive 80 percent of your activities. The Pareto Principle (the “80/20 †rule) states that 80 percent of your activities contribute to only 20 percent of your results. The remaining 20 percent of your activities contribute to the other 80 percent of your results. Take a hardware store for example: about 20 percent of its stock accounts for 80 percent of the revenues; the remaining 80 percent of the stock accounts for only 20 percent of the revenues.
The key to successful retailing is identifying the 20 percent that is producing the bulk of the revenues. A smart store manager knows to place that 20 percent where it is most accessible, and to put the rest where, though it can be reached, it is out of the immediate way. As a career-conscious and productive individual, you need to identify what activities in your work (and personal life) support you and are bringing you the most results. Have the strength to abandon those activities that are not producing results for you--get rid of that unproductive 80 percent.
7. Schedule brainstorming sessions. Brainstorming is a great process by which you get a wonderful array of ideas that you might not receive otherwise. You can brainstorm with yourself, or (preferably) with others. Have you ever gone to lunch with a colleague and begun discussing ways to approach a topic at work? After a few minutes, perhaps you both are deep into the conversation, coming up with all sorts of great ideas.
When the waiter comes to take your order or bring your check, however, what usually happens? The conversation dies out. When you both go back to work, oftentimes those ideas are forgotten or just put on a back burner. If you consciously schedule a meeting, the sole purpose of which is to brainstorm, you'll grab control of your time and get some of the most productive sessions that you’ve ever had.
For example, I meet with my mentor once a month at his dining room table. At a clear table, we sit across from each other with tape recorders and discuss problems and issues that face us and ways in which we can overcome them. We both keep a copy of the tape, take it home and make notes on it, and then capture those ideas--instead of letting them die. When you come in contact with other people, you’re exposed to whole new worlds--their worlds. When you interact with another person, you get the benefit of all his or her information, in addition to your own.
8. Use humor more often--laugh at yourself. When you proceed through the workday without humor, the days tend to be long and difficult. Part of taking control of your life is being able to step back and look at the big picture, being able to see the humorous, lighter side of things. Some of your worst gaffs later become some of the things you pleasantly recall--sometimes they might even turn out to be some of your best ideas!
Humor has its place in our lives; don’t get caught in the trap of thinking that what you do is so serious that you must look serious in order to appear professional. You’re likely to end up looking like a stuffed shirt. Step back and see the humor in your life; it gives you a break in the action, it makes things less tense, and it puts you back in control.
9. Work in your car, when appropriate. This is an extension of the idea of changing your venue. In an urban area especially, the car can be your life support system. I don’t mean that you should do work while driving--itâ€& trade;s not productive or safe. You might get stuck, however, in traffic, or in a snowstorm, or perhaps arrive at a meeting and have 30 minutes to wait. In these cases, being able to work in your car will make you more productive and give you greater control over your time.
Make your car a friendly, supportive environment so that you will feel comfortable when in it. Furthermore, why not pack a gym bag, and leave it in the trunk? Include a few changes of clothes or perhaps a bottle of your favorite juice. The key is to set up in advance whatever it is that supports you.
When you shake up your work routine, you will gain a fresh perspective on your life, and will begin to retake control of your time. Taking new approaches to the way you work will give you more time, reduce your stress, and help you attain breathing space.
Are you thinking of popping the question to her today? Well you might be nervous but have you thought of a creative and romantic way to propose to her. If not then here are a few suggestions for you.
Do it the old fashioned way. Get down on one knee with a rose clenched in your teeth and the ring in your hand and ask her “Will you marry me?”
Write “will you marry me” in chalk on the street outside her house or flat in big enough letters so that she will notice it.
Phone up your local radio station and get them to pop the question for you over the air at a time that you know she will be listening. Then dedicate a song to her.
Create a web page all about your life together. Upload photos of you together and at places that you went and that mean a lot to you. Announce your love by proposing, send the web address and wait for the reply.
Wrap a large box and fill with smaller boxes and keep the ring in the smallest box which will be the last box she opens. Or alternatively wrap a large box and fill with those tiny foam pieces and let her look for the small box inside.
Take her away for the weekend and when you are on your last day pop the question.
Take her to the place you first met or your favorite place and give her the ring wrapped in gift paper. Tell her that you have gotten her a gift to show how much you love her and when she opens it tell her that you want to spend the rest of your life with her.
Cook your loved one a romantic meal and place a note around a candle asking her to marry you.
Give your girlfriend a foot massage and place the ring on her little toe.
Buy her a watch and have it inscribed "marry me."
Serve her oysters in bed with the ring inside the shell.
Spell your proposal out in glow-in-the-dark star stickers on your ceiling. Climb on top of her and wait for the yes, yes, yes.
Leave a trail of notes for your partner to follow and when he/she reaches the end you will be standing there with the last note saying "Will you marry me?”.
Take your partner to the beach and write "Will you marry me?" in big letters in the sand.
Sneak in to her home and fill it to the rafters with flowers and in the middle sit a teddy bear holding the ring and a note asking her to marry you.
Send her 4 balloons with the words "Will you marry me?" written on them.
If you are brave enough get a tattoo done with "Will you marry me?" but only if you are sure that she is the right one and once she has accepted finish it off with the date of your engagement and marriage.
Or if you are the sensible, unromantic type, you could just try sitting down and having a chat about getting married and suggesting that it is about time the two of you did so.
There are men who have such winning personalities, such conquering charm, that they can practically seduce a "blind date" over the phone. The key to winning the heart of a woman is to show her that she is special and mean the world to you. You have to be caring, loving, sensitive, strong, charming and witty. However, this doesn't mean you can equal their charm overnight merely by reading about it. You will have to find your own ways, develop your own brand of charm, and utilizing these principles in a manner which is both polished, and convincing for you. There has to be the genuineness in your voice, the warmth in your touch and the passion in your eyes to set her heart beating for you.
Following are a few tips that will make her fall in love with you:
Make the woman feel that she's the most important person in the world.
Make her feel that you cant live without her.
Make her feel like she's worth a million dollars.
Make her feel attractive, gorgeous, wanted, and sexy.
Shower her with attention.
Keep talking to her about herself. Forget about yourself.
Be there for her when she needs you the most.
DON'T ever leave her alone! Send her cards, flowers, candy, telegrams, gifts, phone her constantly; see her as often as possible until you achieve your objectives.
Show her that you care, deeply, intensely, for always by the way you look at her, talk to her, pursue her, and listen to her.
Strive to make her feel good whenever she is in your presence, when talking with you, and when out on a date.
Make her dependent upon you. Make her miss you when you are not around.
Be her best friend upon whom she can rely on and trust.
Meet her family as soon as possible and treat them as if they were royalty. Get her family on your side and you will have her forever
If you are attracted to a girl and want her to notice you and go out with you, all you need to do is impress her. Impressing a girl is not that difficult. You just have to be caring and gentle. You need to show her that you care for her and that she is a special person and you like being with her. Following are 8 tips that will help you impress a girl.
1. Be a gentleman and take care of her needs without prompting. Open doors, offer your coat when she's cold, etc. Just show that you care and you are there for her.
2. Be strong, yet not abrasive. Women don't react well to a spineless jellyfish that won't stand up for himself, but be careful not to cross the fine line between confidence and overconfidence.
3. Express and ask about her feelings. A woman appreciates a man who is willing to talk about his feelings and is sincerely interested in hers.
4. If you're consuming alcohol, keep it social and minimal. Women don't like to be around drunk men who keep on bragging about themselves.
5. Exhibit confidence, not jealousy. The reality that she'll stay in contact with friends and acquaintances she had before she met you shouldn't threaten you. You should be open to meet her friends and get to know them.
6. Be accountable for your words and actions. Be a man of your word and let your actions show intentions and character.
7. Realize that relationships can't be bought. Don't ever measure relationship with money. Respect your relationship more than anything in the world. Keep things simple. While it's nice to be spoiled, little things are often much more appreciated and sincere. Buy her a card, not a car,
8. Treat her with the same courtesy, respect and enthusiasm in front of your friends, family and colleagues as you do in private.
Let's be honest, approaching women isn't easy. It can be awkward, embarrassing, and downright difficult. But, like most things in life, if you know what you are doing it's easier and with a little practice you can get good at it. To get her number you need to follow a procedure that will give you 100% results. Learn three simple steps that will help you get her number in no time.
When approaching women you should concentrate on three things:
setting her at ease
impressing her
getting her number
Setting her at ease
Why is this important? Women get approached more than you think by weirdo's and perverts. For this reason, women automatically put up their defenses when a guy approaches them. Thus you have to work towards dropping their defenses. For that you need to be yourself, be friendly, smile, and keep the mood light. Don't act as if you are there to pick her up. Just carry on a conversation, chat, make jokes, don't be afraid to disagree with her, tease her. Do anything that will make her feel comfortable with you. Treat her like you would anybody else and she will notice and drop her barriers.
Impressing her
In order to get her number you definetly have to impress her and make her feel confortable with you. Because when you ask for her number she will think "Do I really want this guy calling my house?" Basically, she decides how much she likes you. The guys that don't impress her get rejected and the one's she is interested in get the number. So to impress her you need to be confident, gentle and caring. Talk to her about herself. Keep the conversation focused on her as much as possible. Letting her take control of the conversation ensures she won't get bored, let's you learn more about her, and keeps you from saying something stupid. Do NOT make the mistake of talking about yourself in an effort to increase her interest. It does NOT work that way. Also, don't drag the conversation out any longer than necessary.
Finally :: Getting the number
Finally the time will come to leave. Before that you need to get her number. So be confident and just ask for it. If you have played your cards right, the girl might give you her number without you asking for it. But don't wait for that. Just ask her, "Can I get your phone number?" Don't chicken out. If you think this is too direct then you can give her a reason to give you her number. For example, instead of saying, "Can I get your number?" say, "Can I get your number so that we can do something this weekend?" or, "I'd like to get in touch with you again, can I get your number?" This will improve your chances IF you managed to impress her.
In the end, remember that if you don't get her number, it is not the end of the world. Don't be frustrated because you approached 5 girls and none of them gave you their number. You will succeed someday. Just be optimistic.
Proposing to you girl friend is the most important thing in a man's life. This is a question that brings immense joy and excitement in your life. This moment is cherished all your life and therefore this moment has to be special. Now before you get down on one knee, read these dos and don'ts of proposing.
DO's: &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p; ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p; ; Do Talk about Marriage Before you propose, talk about the possibility of getting married. Make sure it's something that you both want.
Do make it a Surprise Even though you have discussed marriage, the proposal itself should still be a surprise. Find a moment and a way that is special and she should not be expecting it. Remember it should be a surprise.
Do Find the Right Engagement Ring Since wearing an engagement ring is a lifetime commitment, make sure it's the right style. If you think its difficult choosing the right ring yourself, you can also ask her mother or best friend to help choose the ring.
Do Take Elders Blessings It is always better to take the consent of both the parents. Therefore before you pop the question, make sure that you have spoken to her and your parents about it.
Do Pick a Personal Spot Think about your favorite romantic places -- choose a romantic spot to pop the question. Just make sure that it is a special spot and this is your personal moment.
Do Be Creative Incorporate your personality, favorite things, foods etc. into the proposal. Make it memorable and something to cherish the rest of your lives.
Do Drop to one knee It's not 1950, but there is something so charming and romantic about a man on one knee asking the love of his life to marry him. Even if you're not a traditional guy, it will add to the seriousness and lovingness of the proposal.
Do Tell Her Why You Want to Marry Her Don't just utter those 4 little words, tell her why she's the one for you, what marriage means to you, and what your hopes for the future are. Make her feel special and great about the relationship and the future ahead.
Don't Make it Public Please don't propose to her in a public place. Make it intimate and a personal thing. The moment belongs to you therefore this magical moment should be between just the two of you – after all, you've got the rest of your lives to tell other people about your marriage but you've only got one engagement moment.
Don't Propose on a holiday Consider picking a day meaningful to your relationship, such as the anniversary of your first date. Your girlfriend wants her day to shine – don't propose on a holiday that can't be yours as a couple.
Don't Hide the Engagement Ring in Food I hate to say it, (as I'm sure there are some readers who were planning to do just this) but hiding the engagement ring in food is a tired idea. It's been in a thousand movies and TV shows, and you won't win any points for creativity. Even worse, you may end your romantic proposal with a trip to the emergency room or the dentist.
Don't Do it in Front of Her Family Its one thing to take blessings of her parents but don't make the mistake of proposing in their presence. Proposals in front of family have an added level of stress that you don't need. Take this moment to be just the two of you; don't worry, you can call everyone immediately afterwards.
Don't Propose if you are not sure This is an important decision of your life. Therefore first think whether you are ready for marriage and responsibility and then propose to her. Also get to know what she feels too.
Don't Expect Her to say Yes Immediately You're asking someone to spend the rest of their life with you – an extremely important decision. Just because you've asked, doesn't mean she is ready to say yes. If your sweetheart says maybe, take it in stride and give her some time to consider the proposal.
Interviews are particularly useful for getting the story behind a participant's experiences. The interviewer can pursue in-depth information around a topic. Interviews may be useful as follow-up to certain respondents to questionnaires, e.g., to further investigate their responses. Usually open-ended questions are asked during interviews.
Before you start to design your interview questions and process, clearly articulate to yourself what problem or need is to be addressed using the information to be gathered by the interviews. This helps you keep clear focus on the intent of each question.
Preparation for Interview
Choose a setting with little distraction. Avoid loud lights or noises, ensure the interviewee is comfortable (you might ask them if they are), etc. Often, they may feel more comfortable at their own places of work or homes.
Explain the purpose of the interview.
Address terms of confidentiality. Note any terms of confidentiality. (Be careful here. Rarely can you absolutely promise anything. Courts may get access to information, in certain circumstances.) Explain who will get access to their answers and how their answers will be analyzed. If their comments are to be used as quotes, get their written permission to do so. See getting informed consent.
Explain the format of the interview. Explain the type of interview you are conducting and its nature. If you want them to ask questions, specify if they're to do so as they have them or wait until the end of the interview.
Indicate how long the interview usually takes.
Tell them how to get in touch with you later if they want to.
Ask them if they have any questions before you both get started with the interview.
Don't count on your memory to recall their answers. Ask for permission to record the interview or bring along someone to take notes.
Types of Interviews
Informal, conversational interview - no predetermined questions are asked, in order to remain as open and adaptable as possible to the interviewee's nature and priorities; during the interview, the interviewer "goes with the flow".
General interview guide approach - the guide approach is intended to ensure that the same general areas of information are collected from each interviewee; this provides more focus than the conversational approach, but still allows a degree of freedom and adaptability in getting information from the interviewee./LI>
Standardized, open-ended interview - here, the same open-ended questions are asked to all interviewees (an open-ended question is where respondents are free to choose how to answer the question, i.e., they don't select "yes" or "no" or provide a numeric rating, etc.); this approach facilitates faster interviews that can be more easily analyzed and compared.
Closed, fixed-response interview - where all interviewees are asked the same questions and asked to choose answers from among the same set of alternatives. This format is useful for those not practiced in interviewing.
Types of Topics in Questions
Patton notes six kinds of questions. One can ask questions about:
Behaviors - about what a person has done or is doing
Opinions/values - about what a person thinks about a topic
Feelings - note that respondents sometimes respond with "I think ..." so be careful to note that you're looking for feelings
Knowledge - to get facts about a topic
Sensory - about what people have seen, touched, heard, tasted or smelled
Background/demographics - standard background questions, such as age, education, etc.
Note that the above questions can be asked in terms of past, present or future.
Sequence of Questions
Get the respondents involved in the interview as soon as possible.
Before asking about controversial matters (such as feelings and conclusions), first ask about some facts. With this approach, respondents can more easily engage in the interview before warming up to more personal matters.
Intersperse fact-based questions throughout the interview to avoid long lists of fact-based questions, which tends to leave respondents disengaged.
Ask questions about the present before questions about the past or future. It's usually easier for them to talk about the present and then work into the past or future.
The last questions might be to allow respondents to provide any other information they prefer to add and their impressions of the interview.
Wording of Questions
Wording should be open-ended. Respondents should be able to choose their own terms when answering questions.
Questions should be as neutral as possible. Avoid wording that might influence answers, e.g., evocative, judgmental wording.
Questions should be asked one at a time.
Questions should be worded clearly. This includes knowing any terms particular to the program or the respondents' culture.
Be careful asking "why" questions. This type of question infers a cause-effect relationship that may not truly exist. These questions may also cause respondents to feel defensive, e.g., that they have to justify their response, which may inhibit their responses to this and future questions.
Conducting Interview
Occasionally verify the tape recorder (if used) is working.
Ask one question at a time.
Attempt to remain as neutral as possible. That is, don't show strong emotional reactions to their responses. Patton suggests to act as if "you've heard it all before."
Encourage responses with occasional nods of the head, "uh huh"s, etc.
Be careful about the appearance when note taking. That is, if you jump to take a note, it may appear as if you're surprised or very pleased about an answer, which may influence answers to future questions.
Provide transition between major topics, e.g., "we've been talking about (some topic) and now I'd like to move on to (another topic)."
Don't lose control of the interview. This can occur when respondents stray to another topic, take so long to answer a question that times begins to run out, or even begin asking questions to the interviewer.
Immediately After Interview
Verify if the tape recorder, if used, worked throughout the interview.
Make any notes on your written notes, e.g., to clarify any scratchings, ensure pages are numbered, fill out any notes that don't make senses, etc.
Write down any observations made during the interview. For example, where did the interview occur and when, was the respondent particularly nervous at any time? Were there any surprises during the interview? Did the tape recorder break?
Feelings and thoughts are different, but also are one and the same. They are like the head and tail of a coin. We react to events with both thoughts and feelings. Feelings are emotions, and sensations, and they are different from thoughts, beliefs, interpretations, and convictions. When difficult feelings are expressed, the sharp edges are dulled, and it is easier to release or let go of the bad feeling. If we only express our beliefs about the event and not the feelings, the bad feelings linger and are often harder to release. Whenever someone says, "I feel that..." the person is about to express a belief, not a feeling.
Guidelines For Expressing Feelings
Try to be specific rather than general about how you feel. Consistently using only one or two words to say how you are feeling, such as bad or upset, is too vague and general. What kind of bad or upset? (irritated, mad, anxious, afraid, sad, hurt, lonely, etc.).
Specify the degree of the feelings, and you will reduce the chances of being misunderstood. For example, some people may think when you say, "I am angry" means you are extremely angry when you actually mean a "little irritated".
When expressing anger or irritation, first describe the specific behavior you don’t like, then your feelings. This helps to prevent the other person from becoming immediately defensive or intimidated when they first hear "I am angry with you", and they could miss the message.
If you have mixed feelings, say so, and express each feeling and explain what each feeling is about. For example: "I have mixed feelings about what you just did. I am glad and thankful that you helped me, but I didn’t like the comment about being stupid. It was disrespectful and unnecessary and I found it irritating".
Techniques for Expressing Feelings
The two following - I feel statements and I messages will help you:
Express feelings productively.
Respectfully confront someone when you are bothered by his or her behavior.
Express difficult feelings without attacking the self-esteem of the person.
Clarify for you and the other person precisely what you feel.
Prevent feelings from building up and festering into a bigger problem.
Communicate difficult feelings in a manner that minimizes the other person’s need to become defensive, and increases the likelihood that the person will listen.
When you first start using these techniques they will be cumbersome and awkward to apply, and not very useful if you only know them as techniques. However, if you practice these techniques and turn them into skills, it will be easy for you to express difficult feelings in a manner that is productive and respectful.
Which of the two methods you use for expressing your feelings should depend on your goal, the importance or difficulty of your feelings and the situation.
I feel statements are used in situations that are clear and fairly simple, when you what to express yourself and avoid a buildup of feelingswithout attacking or hurting the self-esteem of the other.
I messages are used in more complex situations to clarify for yourself and the other person just what you are feeling when a) you have difficult negative feelings, b) you confront someone and want them to change their behavior, and c) it is very sensitive and important that the other person accurately understand
Work-Life Balance: “One of Most Significant Struggles Faced By Modern Man”
When I was visiting a site then i saw this article & i feel that everyone should know about this
Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People and co-founder of the FranklinCovey Company, had this to say in his recent column Work-Life Balance: A Different Cut in Forbes.com: “The challenge of work-life balance is without question one of the most significant struggles faced by modern man. I’ve surveyed thousands of audiences about their greatest personal and professional challenges. Life balance is always at or near the top.”
Dr. Covey continued: “Much of my teaching and writing in this area has focused on the power each one of us possesses to: 1) take responsibility for, and become the creative force of, our lives; 2) decide what’s most important in our whole lives–developing a vision and deep commitment to the “first things” of life and; 3) to then put those first things first and organize our lives around our priorities. For something that seems so self-evident to most people, it’s remarkable how many of us struggle to translate our intellectual awareness into day-to-day practice and decision-making.”
Now, I’m not the word smith that Dr. Covey is, and I need to keep things very simple and keep doing them over and over again for them to be part of my everyday behavior. But I’ve been writing about this very thing in my Special Reports, E-book, and in my article Is it Possible to Have it All and Do it All?. My simple 3 steps are as follows:
We step back and objectively look at what’s going on in our lives.
We define what a balanced life looks like to us.
We determine what’s most important to us and find ways to attain those things.
It may sound simple, but in its simplicity lies its beauty and effectiveness.
Asteroid 2005 WJ56 will fly past Earth on January 10, only 2.6 million miles away. This kilometer-wide space rock will be close enough for experienced amateur astronomers to photograph as it flies by. It the constellation Taurus looking like an 11th magnitude star.
The asteroid 2005 WJ56 ephermis / coordinates are here
Date TT R. A. (2000) Decl. Delta r Elong. Phase V 2008 01 05 07 27.69 +62 27.3 0.0465 1.019 140.0 38.3 12.9 2008 01 10 05 10.08 +21 52.3 0.0281 1.008 149.4 29.8 11.6 2008 01 15 03 54.39 -28 53.9 0.0418 0.995 105.3 72.4 13.6

Astronomers say asteroid 2007 WD5. , 160 feet (50 meters) across, has a chance of striking Mars on January 30. The power and energy would be similar to the 1908 Tunguska blast in Siberia, where a mysterious object now thought to be a stony asteroid or old comet core exploded about 7 miles above the landscape and destroyed trees over the 810 square miles (2,100 square km) landscape. A chance is , 1 in 350 or better of a hit . While it might strike near the equator, the Mars Rovers are not in danger as they are outside of the impact area. If it punches Mars, the hole would be the size of the Meteor Crater in Arizona.
When my wife and I visited the crater a few years ago, I took a video and photographed aseries of pictures of the inside of the crater. I created a Quicktime VR panorma movie with it
Then click on the the Meteor Crater two-pane pictures and you will then see a little circle. Click and drag your mouse clockwise and you will see the whole inside of the crater. I also did one for time when I helicoptered into the crater of Mt. St. Helens in 1988 and made a panorama. That way you can see the insides of two different craters, one volcanic and one a meteor crater and compare the two. Astronmers have never seen an asteroid hit Mars but we did have a spectacular view of parts of a comet hit Jupiter in 1994. If a hit is immenent, this should be interesting to watch as when I watched the Comet Shoemaker- Levy plough into Jupiter in 1994 when I was working on an astronomy project at Harvard U. Here is a a Hubble picture of one piece of the comet hitting Jupiter and the fireball seen (infra-red taken with a NASA KECK space telescope- bottom left on Jupiter photo).
Sometimes I tend to look back and realised that once in a while we put forth our faith and trust in a situation or a person so completely we forget that we should evaluate the scenario once in a while from deep inside ourselves. A friend told me that maybe it would be a good idea once in a while we just try not to be in complete control over the future so that we can fully enjoy the present moment. Not an easy thing if you’re from where I came from.
I dont know how to react to this statement.
I got married when I was pretty young, 21 years old to be exact. He was 26. We got married after a long friendship that spanned over 7 years. Looking at where I came from, it was a very difficult decision that I ever made. My parents were divorced, three times mind you (yeah…different post on this one..maybe) and the pain, confusion and loneliness just hit you like nobody’s business. I guess it was more of the pain and confusion that make me apprehensive about a committed relationship such as a marriage and I vowed that I would never get into that situation - ever.
But, I guess God has other plans. We weathered the marriage for the longest time, going through the motion without addressing any real issues that cropped up. We averted issues by not discussing it at all. It was up to a point where I would be writing what I felt, all pent up inside, on a piece of paper then bringing it home and carelessly leaving it on the dresser as if wanting him to find out what I felt inside.
I was scared that I might get old alone. I needed someone to be with.
I had faith that when I plunged myself in a marriage, I trusted that I would have someone to love and to cherish me till the day I die. I had faith in the little instituition we built. But not all were rose tinted I do realise now.
You need more than faith, trust and love to survive in a relationships.
You need communication - a good whole dose of it! You need to communicate what is inside you without fear. Besides who who would be the best person to know your innermost secret that your life partner who were supposed to weather any storm in life or wake up to the sunshine in the morning, together with you.
The minute you have the fear to express what is deep inside you, then you know there is something more than what is above the surface.
Why do you have that fear? Is it because of its possible retribution? Fear that your partner might no longer look at you in how you want him to? Lost your desirability? Attractiveness? Now he will only sees you with all your faults and not as the perfect person? What if you initiate something new in the bedroom and just when you get cosy your partner asked you, “Where did you learn this?”, when you both knew that it is an exclusive relationship?
Maybe another scenario may take that the initiating partner did have some sort of that experience and is now wanting to please the new parner. She may feel a bit intimidated and fear that he might think she has gone a little easy in the past. Tricky question with and equally tricky answer.
Male and female without doubt has weird mind set up altogether. What a man might consider as little issues may not be the case for the woman. Now, heres the tricky bit. The man might not express his thoughts as clearly as possible thinking the woman might read his mind. The woman in return, may think that he is not communicative enough of his feelings and thus making it difficult for her to understand why the man is so aloof when at home after work.
Men generally are difficult to express their feelings about certain issues, I found out.
Women tend to flock together to discuss what or how they feel over issues.
Typical scenario may look like this:
Man to man over a new hair cut
Man 1: “New hair cut?”
Man 2: “Yeah”
End of conversation.
Woman to woman over a new hair cut
Woman 1: “Wow! Is that a new hair cut??”
Woman 2: “Yes! Do you like it?”
Woman 1: “It looks great! Where is this hairdresser? The new styling brings out your best features.”
Woman 2: “Thanks…(gig gles)..I could give you the number and check out the place. Maybe we could go together next time?”
The history of the human family presents a dark picture of sorrow, suffering, and death. Through famine, plague, storms, and accidents, our race has drunk deeply of the cup of anguish. What is God’s program concerning man’s suffering? Why does God permit evil? What is the remedy? “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14).
“For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death.”—Psalm 102:19,20
The age-old question has been, Why has an all-powerful, all wise Creator permitted pain and suffering? Why has he permitted the continuing reign of sin and death for more than sixty centuries?
Perhaps no difficulty has presented itself more frequently to inquiring minds than this. Could not God have prevented man’s fall? Why does he not deal with the human family as graciously, kindly, lovingly, as he deals with his angelic sons? Is it just or loving for God to permit the bringing forth of millions of creatures under these unfavorable conditions, beset by weakness and a tendency toward sin from their birth and surrounded by others similarly weak and helpless?
Human philosophers fail to answer the question because the answer is far toodeep for human philosophy. Those who reject the divine origin of the Bible may as well abandon hope of finding an answer. Only God can explain his own secrets—why he has done as he has. Truly we read, “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant” (Psalm 25:14).
The difficulty in understanding what God is doing arises from our failure to recognize God’s plan in this world. He could have prevented sin’s entrance. The fact that he did not should suggest that its permission is designed for some ultimate good. God’s plans seen in their completeness will prove the wisdom of his course.
The Bible shows us that God’s purpose for men is progressive, embracing long periods of time. If we ignore these periods when they can be seen in their completeness, we are blinded to the answer to our question. Accepting these, Bible students may look at the subject from God’s standpoint and may understand the mystery of God. This mystery has been hidden from ages and generations and has now been made known unto his saints (Colossians 1:26,27).
What is this mystery? Simply stated, God’s plan will glorify him through its ultimate enlightenment of angels and mankind. In the ages to come trials and reverses, sorrows and tears will be proven to have been a worthwhile part of that program.
The history of the human family presents a dark picture of sorrow, suffering, and death. Through famine, plague, storms, and accidents, our race has drunk deeply of the cup of anguish. What is God’s program concerning man’s suffering? Why does God permit evil? What is the remedy? “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14).
“For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death.”—Psalm 102:19,20
The age-old question has been, Why has an all-powerful, all wise Creator permitted pain and suffering? Why has he permitted the continuing reign of sin and death for more than sixty centuries?
Perhaps no difficulty has presented itself more frequently to inquiring minds than this. Could not God have prevented man’s fall? Why does he not deal with the human family as graciously, kindly, lovingly, as he deals with his angelic sons? Is it just or loving for God to permit the bringing forth of millions of creatures under these unfavorable conditions, beset by weakness and a tendency toward sin from their birth and surrounded by others similarly weak and helpless?
Human philosophers fail to answer the question because the answer is far toodeep for human philosophy. Those who reject the divine origin of the Bible may as well abandon hope of finding an answer. Only God can explain his own secrets—why he has done as he has. Truly we read, “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant” (Psalm 25:14).
The difficulty in understanding what God is doing arises from our failure to recognize God’s plan in this world. He could have prevented sin’s entrance. The fact that he did not should suggest that its permission is designed for some ultimate good. God’s plans seen in their completeness will prove the wisdom of his course.
The Bible shows us that God’s purpose for men is progressive, embracing long periods of time. If we ignore these periods when they can be seen in their completeness, we are blinded to the answer to our question. Accepting these, Bible students may look at the subject from God’s standpoint and may understand the mystery of God. This mystery has been hidden from ages and generations and has now been made known unto his saints (Colossians 1:26,27).
What is this mystery? Simply stated, God’s plan will glorify him through its ultimate enlightenment of angels and mankind. In the ages to come trials and reverses, sorrows and tears will be proven to have been a worthwhile part of that program.

This is pretty neat.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read ... Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat.(more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757...If you haven't, add 1756.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number.
The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)
The next two numbers are YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

Differences between "somebody you Love" and "somebody you Like"
Young people are often confused and unable to discern the frustrating flush of the magical experience of “falling in love”.
Infatuation is the initial, instant attraction and intense desire for a person of the opposite sex.
Love is a friendship that has caught fire. It takes root, develops and grows one day at a time. The process is slow.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When he/she is away you wonder if he/she is cheating you. Sometimes you check perhaps even discreetly.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. Your beloved feels the same also and this makes both even more trustworthy.
Infatuationis marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions or some unclear actions about your beloved that you would not like to examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his/her presence even when he/she is away. Miles of distance do not separate you. You want him/her nearer, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait.
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you can admit it is difficult to be in one another’s company, for the underlying fear that it will end in intimacy.
Love is the maturation of friendship. You are confident that you must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuationis usually temporary and eventually fades. It, however, might lead you to do things you will regret later, but love never will.
Love is an upper. It makes you look up. Love usually lasts longer and goes deeper than strong sexual Feelings. It makes you think up and makes you a better person.
Infatuation makes you feel anxious, nervous and jealous. You feel convinced that you can’t live without the other person. You are unable to see the person for who they really are because he/she is perfect in your eyes.
Love makes you feel excited. You are willing to respect the other person’s opinions and accept the good or bad qualities. You share similar values and beliefs and you see the person for who they really are.
Infatuation says, “We must get married right away! I can’t risk losing you!”
Love says, “Be patient. Do not panic. Plan your future with confidence. There are rewards in waiting.”

1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. 2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. 3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. 4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. 5. And lastly comes our little finger; the smallest finger of all. Which is where we should place ourselves in relation to GOD and others. Your pinky should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.

Women’s attitude towards their best friends, in fact, to intimacy generally is very different from men’s. The difference is so glaring that it sometimes leads to problems in their relationship as it concerns other people. For women, closeness can involve being completely open and honest with their girlfriends. For men, the closest relationship does not have to involve a complete baring of the heart, or a sharing of insights that reveal too much soul.
