Five Tips To Help You With Your College Decision

Monday, March 31st, 2008

By Chris Stout College is all about personal preference. You need to pick the school thats right for you, and nobody else but you. If you have a particular university thats high on your list, there are certain measures you can take that will improve the likelihood of you getting accepted. Here are five tips thatll help you get into the college of your choice. 1. Have good grades and test scores To make the first cut, you got to have the numbers. Most universities start sifting through applicants based on minimum GPA and test score requirements. These requirements can be found in publications that rank different programs, and you can also find these minimum figures on the admissions page of your prospective colleges website. If your GPA is less than stellar, then you need to compensate with high tests scores. If your standardized test scores are below the minimum requirements, then youll have to pick up the slack with excellent grades. 2. Write an award winning personal essay The personal essay is the most customizable part of your application. It tells the admissions office who you are as a person, how well you can communicate and what you will bring to the table as a potential student. Tout your successes in your essay, and use the essay as a forum to explain any anomalies in your application. Whatever you choose to write on, make sure you have a tightly organized, well-argued composition that avoids clichs and sounds original. 3. Send in quality letters of recommendation Dont underestimate the impact of quality letters of recommendation. If you know a teacher who would gladly take a bullet for you, then have them voice their enthusiasm in a written letter. Follow carefully when including your letters of recommendation. Some colleges require letter writers to fall under specific categories (i.e. your letter must be written by someone who has taught you in the past year). Try to collect praise from multiple enthusiastic sources, so that you appear like a well rounded student. Letters of recommendation can also be written by employers, coaches or religious leaders. 4. Dont slack off in high school Your high school performance, both in and out of the classroom, are vital to your applications success. You need to have plenty of extracurricular activities, but you also need to illustrate dedication, leadership, responsibility and achievement. Its better to excel at a few things than try and overload your schedule with fleeting tasks. Be sure to explain why you chose a specific activity, and what benefits you derived from it. 5. Apply early, and if you dont get in at first, appeal the decision or plan to transfer Applying early can increase your chances of getting in. Dont wait until a day before your deadline, send your application materials in as soon as possible. There are more spots and fewer applicants at the beginning of the admission process. As the deadline draws closer, there are more applicants and few spots to fill. If you dont get in to the school of your choice, then consider appealing the decision. If that doesnt work, you can always go to a junior college, complete your general education requirements and the transfer in two years. If you plan ahead and dedicate yourself to achieving your goals, then theres nothing to prevent you from getting into the college of your choice. Whether you succeed or fail is entirely up to you.

Who Do I Have To Kill To Get A Job?

Friday, March 28th, 2008

By Tom Knutson I have had more than my amount of trouble in getting a job. I did everything I was supposed to do. I went to an Ivy League school, got a 3.75 grade average, and then graduated as president of his class. Then I entered the job market. I soon found out that human resources are geared to screen you out of a job. The asked for work experience, which I didnt have. After all you have to be hired to get the experience. After two years of trying to find a job, I took a temporary assignment. Not because I wanted to, but because I needed to eat.After that assignment I was again asked for my permanent experience. I didnt have any, so I took another temp assignment.After only two temp assignments I was dubbed a “job skipper”. An unreliable employee, who must be rubbing his boss the wrong way - otherwise they would keep me. I didnt know what to do about this reputation. I couldnt argue the obvious path I had to take, and so I continued to let the reputation stand and took temp assignment after temp assignment. The good news is that I was a good saver, and by seeing a lot of different working environments I got to see some common business problems, and I came up with ideas on how to solve them. I went ahead and wrote some books on the subject of project management, and program management. I soon found that I was one of the first to do so, and that my books sold in the USA as well as overseas. Due to this success, I went on to write over several patents and cashed in on about half of them. It is ironic to me that that for whatever reason corporate America didnt want to hire me, but instead they embraced and used my ideas and my inventions to help them solve their problems. It would seem like I would be of value to some of them, but at the age of 47 I continue to look for an elusive perm job, and wish that someone would hire me so that I could claim a normal retirement. After all I’ve made millions to date, and that was during “part time” employment. Just think what I could do if I was on a full time payroll.

Wedding Planning - Part III

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

By Michael Russell In this third of a series of articles about planning your wedding we’re going to pick up with picking your brides maids. Picking your brides maids and maid of honor can be an agonizing task, either because you have way too many best friends or not enough of them. In many cases feelings are hurt and it’s unavoidable. You have to go with what’s in your heart and hope for the best. Hopefully if your friends are really your friends they will understand your decision. This same advice also goes for the groom picking his best man and ushers. The next thing you need to do is pick a destination for your honeymoon. Again, this is something that you both should agree on. Your choice is of course going to be limited by your budget but there are plenty of beautiful places to go that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Just keep in mind that this is going to be a honeymoon that you’re going to want to remember for a long time. After that you want to start looking for a caterer. This is one area where you don’t want to skimp and want references. The meal you feed your guests and yourself is going to leave a lasting impression with everyone if it’s bad. You want people walking away from their meal saying how great it was. A great caterer won’t be cheap but doesn’t have to be expensive either if you choose a meal that isn’t lobster tail and filet mignon. The last thing that needs to be done 1 year before the actual date is to set a date for ordering dresses for the brides maids and tuxedos for the best man and ushers. You want everyone to look their best in the wedding party. Not just you and the groom. One thing to keep in mind here is that this is YOUR wedding. So regardless of what your brides maids want to wear it is your choice. They will understand. The next items on the list should be done about 5 months before the actual wedding day. The first thing is to finalize your guest list. This is where you have to do your last cuts or additions. It’s nice to be able to invite the whole world but sometimes that is just not practical. Now is the time when you have to bite the bullet. After you’ve done this you’ll need to order invitations and announcements. Agree on this with your groom. After all, his family and friends are going to be attending as well. Invitations don’t have to be flashy. Sometimes simple is better. You’ll also have to order personal stationary and thank you notes to send to all your guests for the gifts they gave you. It is a nice added touch to keep track of each gift so you can write a personal note to each person. This is always appreciated. In the next article in this series we will pick up with planning your reception. ——————————————————- Michael Russell Your Independent guide to Weddings ——————————————————- Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Michael_Russell http://EzineArticles.com/?Wedding-Planning—Part-III&id=132169 apo-lorazepam info on the drug ambien side effects keyworddiscount ambien ambien without prescription

The Kabbalah of Love: Part One

Monday, March 24th, 2008

By Shifra Hendrie (This is the first article in a new series on the Kabbalah of Love stay tuned for upcoming articles!) Intimate Love. What feelings do these words stir up in you? Longing? Excitement? Pleasure? Fear? Whatever the feeling, if thinking about intimate love makes your heart beat faster, Im not surprised. This feeling is more powerful than almost any we can experience. Thats because its nothing less than the touching of two souls. Three years ago I suffered the terrible loss of a younger brother. In an attempt to actually experience something beyond the painfully limiting framework of the physical world, I made a couple of visits to a hypnotherapist who practiced past-life regression therapy. Under hypnosis, I had an experience that I will never forget. I dont know whether it was a dream, a memory from another life, or my soul expressing itself through images, but this is what happened: During the session, the therapist directed me to get in touch with a memory from an earlier time. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I saw myself as a young woman, Polynesian perhaps, with long dark hair. I was standing in front of a small white hut, tall green bamboo plants swaying gently on each side. I walked forward and entered the hut. Inside I saw a simple room, a dirt floor and a long low wooden table. Cross-legged by the table sat a young man. As I entered, he looked up into my eyes and smiled at me. What happened next is something that made an indelible impression on me. As I saw his smile I felt a blinding, overwhelming love pass from him into me. The sensation was as strong as a physical blow. Without conscious thought, instantaneously, my entire being responded. I was flooded with a sensation of light, joy and oneness. I felt my heart my whole essence - leap out of my body toward him. The experience was dazzling. I dont think intimacy gets more intense than this, the tangible, intense, overwhelming merging of two souls drawn to each other out of pure essential love. Heres my question: From where did this experience come? I was lying on a couch in a hypnotists office. Outside of the silent therapist, nobody was there but me. In actual fact, at that moment of overwhelming love, unity and connection, I was, on the physical plane at least, entirely alone. Whether or not this incident actually took place in some earlier life, at that moment this tangible joy, love and connection was coming solely from inside of me. From where precisely did it come? Where was it hiding before this experience? And where did it go back to when the session was over? How can a feeling so pure, bright and overwhelmingly real be here one moment, gone the next? Many years ago, when a cousin of mine was four years old, she suddenly looked down at herself and exclaimed: Im all alone! Her mother quickly reassured her: Dont worry, Sweetheart, Im right here. My cousins response? No, I mean in here! Im all alone in here! That feeling of all alone is something every one of us can relate to. Our bodies separate us from each other and from our Source in the unifying Oneness from which we come. But just beneath the surface there is a part of each of us that is never disconnected, never alone. This part is always present, but is concealed often completely - behind the stories, struggles and concerns of our ego-based identities. This all alone is the profoundest of illusions. And its all the more profound because it feels so very real. But this illusion is no accident. In order to allow for the existence of limitations, boundaries, separateness, polarity, conflict, and free choice (i.e. human existence) G-d performs a feat more challenging than any we can imagine. Like the hand within the puppet, He hides Himself within the fragmented details of Creation while at the same time remaining their activating force. Like the concealed hand does for the lifeless puppet, the spark of G-d concealed within you makes you alive. The goal: to see through the illusion and live in alignment with the truth. In truth, despite my example, you are not a puppet. You are created in the image of G-d. You are invested with conscious awareness and the power to choose. You can choose to relate to yourself only within the context of your limited role; the specific circumstances, struggles and goals of your daily life. You can believe, or at any rate live, as if that is the whole picture. This is like identifying with the appearance and role of the puppet and with the script of whatever play is being acted out today. Or you can choose to look deeper, seeing through the limits of your ego-based identity and immediate life circumstances to the Creative Divine spark that makes you live. So whats this got to do with love? Back to my experience. I didnt know who I was, much less who the man was. I was disconnected from all stories, agendas, past and future. I was disassociated from my identity, the puppet. But the love the leaping of my heart, my essence, to connect with another, was very, very real. Thats because love is an indelible part of the landscape of the soul. Like the spark within a flintstone - invisible but unextinguishable - the spark of pure unconditional love is concealed but infinitely present within the essence of every one of us. Kabbalah often compares the soul to the flame of a candle. Just as a flame is always reaching up, trying to reconnect with its source in the supernal fire, at the pure heart of all love and yearning is the souls passionate desire to reconnect with its Divine Source. Within every human being who walks the face of this earth, there is a pure spark of the Divine Source of us all. Just as were drawn to connect with our Source, we are drawn to connect with that spark. Your own pure essence is seeking to connect with the pure essence and spark of another. As long as you identify exclusively with the puppet, i.e. your limited ego-based identity, the love that you experience will be limited as well. You will allow yourself to embrace only that which reinforces your ego, helps you meet your survival needs, and protects you from a frightening sense of vulnerability. This level of love, although very human and an integral part of most relationships, is conditional and agenda-based. But when you identify with the Divinity within yourself, the part beyond the stories and agendas, you create an opening for your essence. This automatically creates an opening for the essence of others. And wherever essence touches essence love authentic love - becomes revealed. Making it real: There are two basic paths to creating this opening, and both are important: CREATE AN OPENING: Challenge the limiting boundaries of your identity by doing things that take you out of your comfort zone. Its especially important to do this in your relationships. For example: allow yourself to be vulnerable, let someone else be right, listen to understand instead of to be understood, open yourself to a new point of view, give generously of your resources even when it feels hard. FILL YOURSELF WITH LIGHT: Nurture your inner spark by doing things that connect you with G-d and your own soul, a higher, truer plane of reality. Communicate with your Creator from your heart. Get more deeply acquainted with G-ds perspective and your souls mission by learning, absorbing and integrating the deep, powerful light of Authentic Kabbalah. Give charity and practice kindness. Watch for your messages and for opportunities to make a difference. All of these things will help you to expand the limits of who you know yourself to be and create an opening and channel for your essence to express itself.

What’s So Great About Feta Cheese?

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

By Lee Dobbins Cheese. Just a mere mention of the word and one would think of sumptuous appetizers or meals served with them. Cheese, when served with wine, depicts impeccable taste and class. Here is but one of the many varieties of cheeses: Meet the Feta Cheese. Feta (from the Italian word ‘fetta’ meaning ’slice’) is actually cheese curd in brine solution. It takes at least three months to make feta. When it is removed from the solution, this type of cheese dries up immediately. Milk from goats, sheep or cow can be used to make this. The color of Feta cheese is white. It is usually formed into four-sided cakes that can either be soft or semi-hard. Its salty flavor can be adjusted to suit the taste of the maker. Traditionally, in Greece, feta cheese is made with just goat’s milk or a combination of goat’s and sheep’s milk. They are first salted as a slab, then sliced, then salted once more before it is subjected to maturation process. Other countries that make feta cheese include: Albania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Serbia, Ukraine, Romania, Iran, Australia, Denmark, Germany and many other countries. Although feta is called differently in each country, the process of manufacturing it is the same. The first historic record of feta cheese was during the Byzantine time. One Italian who visited Candia (in 1494) made a vivid description of the brine solution used in making feta cheese. Additional records are those of Balkan peasants who made it either with sheep’s or goat’s milk. Nowadays, cow’s milk can be used to make feta cheese. The processes involved are: curdling of the milk with rennet, separation and draining of the curd, putting salt on the blocks of curd, slicing the slabs which are then salted once more. Feta is usually used in making salads and is much tastier when combined with tomatoes, olives and green vegetables. One can store feta cheese indefinitely because of the salt solution. A wise tip: if you want to reduce the saltiness of the cheese, soak feta first in milk or water (just for a few minutes) before eating. Now here is some important nutritional information: it contains 30-60% fat of which 45% is fat from milk. The caloric content is 100 calories per small slice. Whether that’s good or bad for you is a question you need to ask your nutritionist. There were actually some studies that were done to lower the salinity of feta cheese and how this has significantly improved its nutritional value. The conclusion was, it has good and bad points. The good: it is a superior source of riboflavin, protein, calcium, phosphorus and Vitamin B12. The bad: it has a high cholesterol and sodium content. It comes with high saturated fat. Another downside to eating feta cheese: pregnancy would not allow feta cheese consumption. Since feta is made from unpasteurized milk and comes in soft, it may contain a type of bacteria called Listeria. Although Listeria registers symptoms like that of the common flu and can be tolerated by adults, it is highly fatal to fetuses. Could you take another bad news? It is very difficult to get the real thing in the country. Since it is highly consumable in Greece and because of the restriction on importing products made with unpasteurized milk, Americans can have a taste of feta through commercial counterparts. Although the commercial feta cheeses are inferior in most aspects, at least they are the closest we could get to feta taste. If you are looking for the ‘original’ cheese, then be prepared to pay exorbitant fees! Enough with the bad. There are more good to this type of cheese than the occasional bad. Feta cheese is used in a lot of sumptuous recipes which stimulate the taste buds and it is highly-incorporated in most Greek meals. Here are a few recipes that you could research online: 1. Chunky guacamole (or Guacamole Picado) 2. Goat Cheese Patties 3. Feta and Ricotta Cheese Fondue 4. Greek Scramble 5. Lamb and Olive Balls 6. Lemony Artichokes with Feta and Oregano 7. Lobster bundles 8. Mediterranean Feta Cheese Dip 9. Leg of Lamb Stuffed with Roasted Garlic, Feta and Basil Leaves 10. Spinach Triangles (Spanakopita) Aren’t the recipes enough to convince you that there is more good to feta cheese than bad? If you’re not convinced and would want to decline a nice meal with feta in it, then believe me, you’re definitely missing one half of your life!

Pond Spitters Are The Perfect Way To Accentuate Your Pond With Style

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

By Gerry Fung One option that adds significant appeal to a water garden is a pond spitter. Fountain pond spitters are artistic and whimsical ways to decorate your outdoor space and accentuate your waterscape. A spitter not only helps to circulate water, but it also incorporates the soothing splashing sound of water in your backyard, while adding a visually-appealing backdrop upon which to set your pond. Fountain spitters can vary in size from 5 tall statues to miniature spitters that are 10 in height. They can be used as both statues and fountains, and are often manufactured from brass or plastic. Spitters that are manufactured from brass are known to not rust or decay over time. They will become more beautiful with age, as they are exposed to the elements (and are even salt-water resistant). However, large brass statues can be extremely expensive (I.e. they can cost several hundred dollars). For those who want to pursue a more affordable option, plastic spitters may be ideal. Plastic spitters and statues are viable alternatives that have sufficient weight to not be affected by the elements, and are manufactured from plastic resins that make them resistant to decay over time. All fountain spitters require a submersible re-circulating pump in order to draw the water from the pond, through a plastic hose, and into the attachment of the spitter. The water will run through the tubing inside the sculpture and flow back into the pond, thus re-circulating the water. It is extremely important that you find a pump that has a powerful enough head (I.e. maximum pumping height) to accommodate your statue, and that you obtain a pump and a spitter which can accommodate the same size of tubing. Algreens line of spitter kits give you the option of a duck, fish, or turtle, each which will spit sparkling streams of water into your water garden. Each resin spitter is painted with a beautiful patina finish, and comes complete in a kit with a properly sized pump, and the hosing required to connect the pump to the spitter. At 10 in height, these spitters are both extremely affordable and durable; they are the perfect accent for your small backyard water garden.

Boredom is a Killer, One of Many Common Marriage Problems

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

By Terry Ross One of the common marriage problems, which often materialises early on in a relationship, is boredom. Couples often find that after the honeymoon period is behind them and they have settled in to married life it isnt quite the constant bed of roses that they imagined it to be. Historically when we heard of a divorce it was the seven year itch but relationships are more likely to break down after two years than they are after seven! Sometimes what you perceive to be the perfect marriage breaks down purely through boredom, the sheer monotony of no surprises, no challenge and no change. We often get into the habit of focusing on day to day needs such as earning money to pay the mortagage and forget what life should be all about. Boring marriages are often those whereby one partner if totally oblivious to the other. Has no concept that there is anything wrong in the marriage or that their spouse isnt happy with the rub along, no conflict, no excitement way of life. Boredom is one of those common marriage problems that can be driven from the lull after the excitement of the chase. I know of several people that just love the chase and once they are in a steady relationship the interest has gone and they are ready to move on. It takes a very special person to make a relationship last. Marital boredom often develops from the habit of not being prepared to devote any time to the relationship but instead to concentrate on the more mundane aspects of life such as work or chores or from devoting a disproportionate amount of time to friends, children or family in the belief that your relationship is fine and doesnt require any effort. Relationships have to be worked at, the ring on the finger doesnt just mean give up and stop caring. If you dont out anything in then you wont get anything out. When you got married you found your partner interesting and exciting. You are still the same people but if you find that marriage isnt what you thought it would be, it probably means that you have just lost the incentive to make an effort or are failing to make time for each other because you feel you no longer need to. When you are bored life seems to weigh down on your shoulders, everything seems and effort. Five minutes seems a very long time and a day like an eternity. Boredom can lead to depression and the feeling that something is very wrong. Boredom is a very real and common marriage problem that if left unresolved can destroy a marriage. Like many common marriage problems the answer to boredom isnt always easy but the problem can be resolved. As a starting point you need to consciously make time for each other. Make an effort, plan evenings out, think about what you used to do before you got married and even if it isnt possible to do everything you used to do consider what was most exciting and re-introduce those elements back into your life. Its impossible for me to sit here and tell you what you need to do to reignite the flame because our likes and preferences are just not the same. You need to take time to think about what would make your life and your relationship special again, you need to treat each day as special and re-introduce passion into your life. The odd touch, the odd caress, the teasing glances and the secret hugs. Enjoy the odd night out, make an effort, plan it like you used to, prepare a candle lit dinner or just switch that TV off and have half an hour to just muse over the day. Dont destroy your relationship over one of the common marriage problems that can so easily be resolved. If you got divorced you would have to start all over and you would have to make the effort so why not do it now and save your marriage.

Meeting Women: Surefire Spots To Get Dates

Monday, March 17th, 2008

By Kevin Bates The first thing I want to do immediately is to give you a CONCRETE, STEP BY STEP PLAN that you can immediately use to go out right now and start meeting more women. Now, most guys have it all wrong when it comes to meeting women.. Let me clear up the confusion with 2 “Wisdom Nuggets”: WISDOM NUGGET #1: Most normal guys UNDER-ESTIMATE how many women they need to SEE and MEET in order to develop their approach skills. And it doesn’t matter if your goal is to find that one perfect woman. In order to meet her when you finally have a chance, you need good approach skills. WISDOM NUGGET #2: If you’re not SEEING women (if they don’t come into your field of vision), then you’re not MEETING women. So this is a critical first step. The more women you see, the moreopportunities you’ll have to develop and refine your approach skills, get dates, etc. The first step to seeing and meeting more women is going where there are plenty of them. Duh. So I’m going to give you 3 of my favorite places to meet women: 1) SHOPPING MALLS Ah, shopping malls. Such a terrible place to meet women. I mean, look around, there’s only like 9 or 10 women for every 1 man walking around the place. Lol … Yes, there are tons of hot women working AND shopping there. Women flock to shopping malls like plastic surgeons flock to Michael Jackson’s mansion. 2) RESTAURANTS The idea with restaurants is that if you’re going to eat out you might as well do it in a “Target Rich Environment” (a place with lots of women). You can turn just your average lunch into anopportunity to walk home with several numbers of interesting females. And if you look around you will start to find many restaurants in your area that consistently have quite a few women eating (and working) there. Larger restaurants obviously have more people and so more women than smaller ones, so eat there. And when you’re being seated by the hostess, see if she can seat you in a place where you can have a good view of the female traffic going in and out, so when a woman that interests you enters you’ll have easy access to do your approach. So far nothing new, right? Pretty common sense. Well here’s something I bet you don’t normally do: Find a restaurant where there’s a lot of walking traffic RIGHT OUTSIDE. Grab a table where you can see all these people walking by. If there’s a patio, that’s perfect. When you see a hottie walk by, leave your food and approach her. This is quite a ROMANTIC move, because you can HONESTLY say, “Excuse me. Hi. I don’t know exactly how to say this, but I was right in the middle of my lunch, and I saw you walking and had to tell you you are absolutely … beautiful.” What this does is it puts you in a position where 1) you are being 100% HONEST when you say this (so it’s not a “line”) and 2) it’s a NATURALLY ROMANTIC move to make. (By the way, if you combine these first 2 places to meet women what you get is: restaurants in shopping malls where you can see the foot traffic walk by. Excellent.) 3) CONCERTS, FAIRS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS These are all great places to meet women because every woman there is out to have a good time. They’re not in a rush to get to work or some other place, so it’s not like you’re approach isinterrupting them from anything important. This makes it just that much easier for them to be open to having a random conversation with a guy who has his act together. (Oh, by the way, that guy is YOU in case you haven’t figured it out yet). ***TIMING IS CRITICAL*** You visit your favorite restaurant on Tuesday at lunch. But because it’s not crowded at that time, there’s not even a single hottie. The same restaurant on Friday evenings at 7 pm is full ofpretty women. You go to the mall at 6 pm on a Tuesday and it’s a desert. That same mall at 2 pm on a Saturday is an oasis full of hot women. So if you visit a Target Rich Environment but there’s not many beautiful women there, ask yourself if your timing is off. Here’s a secret: Ask people who would know when the most crowded time is. At a shopping mall, restaurant, or grocery store you could ask any of the employees. They would know. Just ask them, “When is this place the busiest, anyways?” Or to save even more time, you can always CALL AHEAD to a new place you want to check out, and ask someone over the phone when’s the busiest time. You’ll be surprised how much info some people will give you. Now, some of you are thinking, “Man, I already know this stuff.” Maybe you do. But are you DOING it? Here’s an easy way to tell: Have you approached 5 or more women in the last 7 days? Seriously. Think about it. Have you? If not, then although you “know” this stuff, you’re not DOING it. That’s the trap that most “normal” guys fall into. They sit back and criticize, but if you look at what they’re DOING it’s clear they’re not taking enough ACTION to ever get their skills to a level where they’ll have the success with women they’relooking for. A success that some of you right now believe is impossible … Well, it’s not impossible … IF YOU DO THE WORK. So, here’s your HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT: Go out in the next 48 hours and visit at least 2 Target Rich Environments. Could be a mall. Could be a restaurant. Could be another place you thought of on your own where there’s likely to be ladies present. And all I want you to do is 1 thing: 1) COUNT how many pretty women you see in the next 48 hours. This includes those you see at the Target Rich Environments AND any other women you see anywhere, like on the street, in stores, supermarkets, wherever. So 48 hours from now, if you’re Bill from Illinois, Gary from Australia, or whoever from wherever, you’ll be able to say, “Kev, I was able to see 17 hot women in the last 48 hours” or whatever number it may be. It’ll be a little competition … WHO CAN SEE THE MOST HOT WOMEN IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS … So do yourself a favor and do your homework. It’s basically checking out pretty women … how much better can a homework assignment get???!!! Your Dating Coach, Kevin B. Oh, and by the way, if you want the FULL SCOOP of where you can meet pretty women (there are over 15 more locations I left out of this email, as well as great strategies for meeting women online and at speed dating events), then you should check out my Breakthrough Dating AudioCD Program. In it you’ll also find specifically what to say to women (and how to say it) when you visit these places so you come across as a mature guy who has his act together, rather than a nervous wuss or a creep or a guy who’s just trying too hard. Plus, it’s fully guaranteed to help you or your money back, and if you have a credit card you can even try it for 30 days for just a buck.

Solving The Utensil Puzzle

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

By Lydia Ramsey Many people know how to navigate place settings and know when to use each utensil. How to hold those knives, forks and spoons, where to put them when you are not using them and what to do with them at the end of the course or the meal may still be a challenge. Glancing around you while dining out and trying to get a clue from others may not solve the problem. A quick study of people eating out will reveal that there are almost as many ways to hold a knife or fork as there people using them. The fork is held between the first knuckle of the third finger and the tip of the index finger with the thumb to steady the handle. This is much the same way that you would hold a pencil although observation will tell you that there are variations on that as well. The knife is held between your thumb and third finger with the index finger resting on the top of the blade. If this seems awfully basic, look around. You’ll find people gripping the knife like a dagger and holding the fork like a miniature cello. There are two differing styles of eating: American and Continental. The difference between the two is primarily how you hold the knife and fork while taking food to your mouth and what you do with them while resting between bites. The American Style is the one most commonly used in this country and is often referred to as the zigzag method. When you are cutting your food, the fork is in the left hand with tines down and the handle between your thumb and third finger. Your index finger rests on the back of the handle. The knife is in your right hand at this point. Assuming that you are right-handed, when you are ready to take the food to your mouth, you put the knife down (on your plate, blade facing in) and switch the fork to your right hand. Tines go up as the food goes to your mouth. The Continental or European Style is less formal and actually seems more efficient. The knife and fork are held the same way as they are for the American Style when you cut food. The difference is that the fork is not moved to the right hand nor is it turned tines up when food is taken to the mouth. The knife can remain in your right hand while you chew. The knife then becomes more versatile. You can use it to move food onto the back of your fork (which is kept in the tines down position). However, it is still not permissible to wave it around or use it to punctuate your conversation. One more point to keep in mind when cutting your food; cut only one bite at a time. If you are thinking that your mother always cut up all your food at one time, that was because she wanted to be able to eat her dinner uninterrupted, not because it was good table manners.
