How To Get The Lowest Cost Funeral

By Jack Hammerson

Many senior citizens begin to consider their alternatives concerning burial costs after they reach a certain age, or when there is a death in the family. It is a very real concern. The price of burying a loved one has skyrocketed over the last ten years. The advertisements you see on TV tell us that we can hire a funeral director for about six thousand dollars. What they don't make clear is that price is their cost and does not include the cost of the burial vault, casket, the grave site and opening and closing the grave. The cost often tops $14,000.00.

There is a much cheaper way to be buried. Cremation is by far the cheapest way to bury a loved one. Most people shrink from the thought of cremation, worried they are doing something against their christian principles or that their bodies will not go to heaven if they cremate a loved one, or themselves. You need not worry. Please remember that your body does not go to heaven. It is your soul that goes to heaven. The body rots in the grave. So, if you have done anything, you have prevented the body from rotting.

Cremation is a very real alternative to burial for one very special reason; you can save thousands of dollars. For the elderly person living on a fixed income, spending thousands of dollars for a funeral is out of the question. They don't want to create more debt that will be left to their loved ones to pay. If they don't have the money to pay for a funeral, more often than not, they will be buried by Welfare in a cardboard coffin and a concrete vault that does not seal, letting water soak into the coffin and starting the rotting process faster than normal. None of us want to think of our loved ones rotting in the grave when we could have prevented it.

What can we do to insure our loved ones remains are taken care of respectfully? The cheapest and most respectful way is to cremate the body. With cremation we don't have to buy anything, except an urn to keep the ashes in. There is no grave to buy, no casket or concrete vault to purchase and no opening and closing costs of hundreds of dollars on top of the grave costs. Cremation allows you to choose to keep your loved one with you or to scatter the ashes over an area that was special to him/her, such as a special fishing spot, or a beautiful wooded locale that was special to your loved one. Maybe he or she was an avid sailor and wanted their ashes spread over the sea. You can do that.

Cremation is the lowest cost funeral you can possibly have. The average cost of cremation is less than $200.00. Some states allow you to provide your own box in which to cremate the body, saving you even more money. It's your choice, thousands versus a couple hundred dollars. Which is most affordable for you? - 20611

Holding Back the Age of Your Skin

By Wendy Jackson

People's preoccupation with anti-aging skin car products that claim to make you look younger, is not surprising when most of us can expect to live longer and have fuller more active lives. This group of products generally work by enabling the synthesis of collagen, which is the main protein of connective tissue in animals and the most abundant protein in mammals. Collagen is related to other anti-ageing substances in the body called anti-oxidants.

Probably the best known of these anti-oxidants is vitamin C although no-one really knows just how much we should have each day. Vitamin C formulated skin care treatments suffer with a particular problem of oxidizing on contact with the air which causes a problem for users and manufacturers.

To get around this some skin care treatments are based on derivatives of vitamin C, which are more stable and less expensive. These new anti-oxidant products are not quite as good as vitamin C although other naturally occurring compounds, vitamin E and lipoic acid can achieve the same effect.

The body uses vitamin E as an anti-oxidant and is also used to increase the natural defense we have against disease, including many types of cancer, it is a fat soluble vitamin in people's blood. Lipoic acid is also an energy making component of the body, found in every cell, it can also help reduce the ageing process which affects the skin.

The use of plants has not been overlooked either with many types able to provide essences called phytochemicals which have proved successful in anti-aging skin care products. Another benefit, like that of alpha-lipoic acid, is their ability to reduce the prevalence of certain cancers like prostate, colon and breast cancer.

Some B-vitamins like B5, B6 and B12 are also in use for anti-aging skin care products. The field of anti-aging skin care products is vast and needs a great deal more research.

Although current regimes are effective, there are still many challenges to finding better and more efficient ways to combat the effects of time. There may be many challenges still to overcome but in time scientists believe they will succeed in producing more effective anti-ageing skin care products that are less expensive and available to more people.

In some respects the real way ahead lies in our own hands as there are many things we can do to reduce the signs of aging naturally. So, drinking plenty of water, getting a good night's sleep, exercising regularly, maintaining healthy eating habits and keeping stress at bay are essential means of delaying the aging process. - 20611

You could still have some viable options.

Non profit debt consolidation companies supply you with a qualified credit counselor to assist you through your financial difficulties. You will be required to hand over any related financial statement and other financial information to the counselor; all overdue accounts,balances, and you gross income you receive in a month. When you are done with this they will work to establish a payment plan for you to fit your specific situation.

When a plan is agreed upon, They get a hold of all of your creditors for you and work to get all of the fees and interest penalties and fees waived, many times as much as 50% sometimes even more. All the debt that you owe is consolidated into one payment that you send to the debt consolidation company. They take that money, less their service fees (which are included in your total) and distribute the agreed upon payments amongst your creditors..

As long as you have done your research on the company and they are reputable and legitimate, you can rest assured that your payments will be made on time--you do nothing but pay that one monthly bill to the company; they take care of everything else.

There should also be opportunities to get educated on the topic of financial responsibility.Programs that teach the fundamentals of proper credit use should also be available.. - 20611

What To Expect From Beautiful Women?

By Dennis Durrel

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder or so they say. However, it seems quite often that certain women are referred to as Beautiful Women. What is it that makes a woman beautiful to the world as a whole?

There does not seem to be one answer as to what makes beautiful women. There is no set characteristic like having blond hair or blue eyes that will quickly decide that a woman is beautiful. That being said having a neat and clean appearance does definitely create beauty in a woman. Somehow women who are in the corporate workforce tend to part of the beautiful women group. Perhaps that is because as a whole they are dressed nicely and need to maintain a clean and put together appearance to enjoy professional success.

One of the more widespread natural individualities that makes women good-looking is obtaining facial features that are symmetrical. It has been rationally proven that the more symmetrical a woman's face is the more good-looking they are found. For example, best models are considered to be beautiful women. Nearly all best models do own symmetrical facial skin tone.

Additionally, having a good straight set of teeth is also quite often factored in when determining a woman's attractiveness. A woman's height and weight typically need to be proportionate as well to secure the public's opinion that she is attractive. Beautiful women are typically of a healthy height and weight ratio.

Possibly the most critical point that truly clarifies who falls into the category of beautiful women is a woman's confidence. Women who are secure in themselves and who they are in the earth tent to give off an aura of beauty good looks, and are usually think as more beautiful women than those who do not hold that similar self-confidence level. - 20611

Two Biggest Mistakes We Make When Getting Our Ex Back

By Johnnie S Laney

When weve been dumped in a relationship we often do many things to try to get our ex back. Some of them can be helpful, but many of the things we do can hurt or completely ruin our chances of getting our ex back.

A big mistake is to apologize endlessly for what you did. If an apology was going to work, one or two would do the trick. If you've said I'm sorry and your ex didn't take you back, you simply need to follow some other steps before you get to an apology.

If you have apologized and it hasn't gotten your ex to take you back, then you need to learn some basic emotional intelligence before you try apologizing again. Two steps you can take BEFORE you apologize are to own up to what you did wrong and then to let your ex vent in a particular way about how they feel about what you did wrong.

If your ex dumped you, their heart is now filled with negative, unpleasant feelings about you. Learning how to help them to vent and release these negative feelings is a key to getting them back. Apologizing on top of their hurt or angry feelings doesn't make any difference. That's why learning the simple steps to support your ex in venting and releasing their bad feelings can make all the difference.

Another mistake to avoid is to come across as desperate and needy. When you first date someone, if they came across as desperate, would you want to date them again? For most of us, the answer is no. The same is true when getting your ex back. Texting your ex 20 times a day, stalking them by phone or in person, crying, promising you'll change can all come across as desperate and needy.

Sure, you feel needy and desperate. Yes, you may sometimes feel like it's almost not worth living without your ex. That is how heartbreak feels. But you want to keep that to yourself as much as possible and not show up as a needy emotional mess to your mate.

If your ex gets the desperate/needy vibe, it can generate pity for you. But pity won't get them to want to take you back. Instead, share with them, if appropriate, how much you've learned from losing them.

But avoid coming across as weak and needy. Avoid apologizing ten thousand times. By not doing those two things you will improve your chances of getting them back dramatically. - 20611

Get Ex Back - An Important First Step

By John Laney

To get your ex back after a break up, there is an important first step that comes before all the rest. And that is to understand as clearly as possible what caused the break up objectively.

The reasons for your break up can be all over the map. Infidelity. Loss of passion and interest. One or both of you felt like the magic was gone. Arguing, Fighting and Conflict " It just got to be too much. Control Issues " you or they were too pushy and controlling and smothering. Unacceptable behaviors " abuse, drinking, drugging. And on a broader scale, there are going to be two general reasons. They left you or you left them.

In order to get your ex back, you want to figure out as objectively as possible why you broke up. If you deceive yourself about this, it will only make it that much harder to actually repair the damage.

Yes, the tendency is to blame your ex for the break up. They weren't passionate enough, or they fought too much, etc. Even when we clearly wronged them, maybe by cheating, we can blame our ex.

But to get your ex back, you want to objectively see the real issues. If you fought and argued too much, admit it. If they wronged you in some way, don't take the blame on yourself.

Look! If the break up is your fault, its okay! We all do dumb things in life. You can be forgiven and you can regain the love and trust of your mate even if youve made a bad mistake. Youre not a bad person for screwing up. You dont need to beat yourself up and feel worthless for doing something bad and hurting your mate.

And if its their fault the relationship broke up, thats okay too. If they cheated on you or treated you poorly, people do that from time to time. It doesnt mean you are unlovable and it doesnt mean you have to hate them. It certainly doesnt mean you cant want them back and get them back.

The key is to understand why you broke up as a first step. Only then can you take steps to repair the relationship in a healthy way. Even in cases of infidelity, you can fix the damage if you are willing to give or accept an apology. There are obviously other steps that need to be taken as well, but this is a good first step. - 20611

How To Get A Date For Christmas

By Joseph Matthews

Single people have one thing in common - they are always on the look-out for a potential "soul mate" to help make their lives complete.

But this is especially true of the Christmas holiday season.

When the weather turns cold and people begin to spend more time indoors, loneliness can really begin to settle in. And then, as the holidays roll around, and our thoughts turn to family, and we see our friends and loved ones come together with their spouses, the fact that you're not in a relationship can really become painfully clear.

The holiday season may seem like an odd time to try and meet someone special, due to people traveling away from home and not having time to date. But it can actually be a great time to start laying the groundwork for future relationships.

So how can a man go about finding women during the holidays? Here are the top 5 things men can do to make sure they have a date by New Years.

1. Be A Friendly Flyer

If you have to fly at all during the holidays, take advantage of it as an opportunity to meet women. Air travel has become such a chore. You have to get to the airport early, you stand in lines a lot, and you sit around waiting for your plane to board. What most guys fail to realize is that when you have a lot of people waiting around, that's the perfect time to be social.

Every time you see a woman waiting around for the same flight as you, take the time to start up a conversation with her. Most people are receptive to distractions to take away from the boredom of waiting for their flight to board and will be happy to pass the time talking to someone.

Not only that, but chances are if they're flying out of the same city, the two of you could hook up after you return from the holidays. And if you're traveling to the same destination, you could also meet up during the holidays.

2. Last Minute Shopping Is Better Than A Bar Or Club

Forget about having to go out to the club scene to meet women, the malls are where all the action is at during Christmas.

Christmas is the biggest retail season of the year, and people will always be running around trying to get their Christmas shopping done at the last minute. Just go to any mall or shopping center during the holidays, and you'll find it packed to the brim with women trying to finish buying their gifts.

Find your nearest Mall, do some last minute shopping, but while you're there, be sure to approach as many women as you can. If you can't walk away from a mall during the holidays with at least five numbers, you're doing something wrong.

3. Online Shopping Isn't Just For Buying Gifts

During Christmas, lots of people do their shopping on the internet. According to Matthews, this is the perfect time to try online dating.

When people hop online to shop for Christmas gifts, that means they'll probably hop online while they're at home to help pass the time - and if they're feeling lonely, they'll usually take up internet dating by going to an online personals site.

There are a great deal of free online dating sites, but people are also in the mood to spend money during Christmas, so a lot of the paid dating services online will get lots of people signing up for them. So while you're at home with the family, that's the perfect time to hit the internet and start connecting with people through the online dating sites.

So what should you try during the holidays? For the free dating, you can't beat social network sites like MySpace and Facebook. People will spend lots of time on these sites while they're at home and bored. But if you're looking for serious prospects, you'll want to go for paid sites like Match.com, Yahoo Personals, or eHarmony.

Take some time to create a profile, browse for people in your local area, and start contacting them. By the time you get back home from the holidays, you'll be ready to start lining up dates.

4. Exploit Family Hook-Ups

If there's one thing you can usually count on, it's that your family knows a lot of great prospects for dating.

I have yet to meet a mother who isn't willing to play matchmaker for her son. It might seem awkward, but take advantage of this. Let your mother, sisters, cousins, sister-in-laws - pretty much any woman in your family - know that you're looking to meet a great girl and would appreciate any help they could provide.

Lots of men are embarrassed to do this, but you'd be surprised at the results. The women your family has access to can be of incredibly high quality, and it makes the whole process of meeting new girls much easier.

5. Partake In Holiday Activities

Finally, taking part in holiday activities can really open up the doors to meeting new people.

People love to take part in activities during the holidays, whether it be caroling, arts and crafts, or charity functions. If you take part and are active in these types of events, this is a great way to meet people.

One year I volunteered for an organization that raised money to help homeless children, and I would wrap gifts at a local Borders Books in exchange for money for the charity. I can't tell you how many women I met through that type of volunteer work. And it was easy to meet them, because they'd come up to me and wait there as I wrapped their gifts. Not only was I helping a good cause, I was also helping myself meet some fantastic people.

Take some time to try and meet some new women. Don't let yourself succumb to to the loneliness of being single over the holidays. Your willingness to meet someone new could be the best gift you give yourself this holiday season. - 20611

Weight Loss Tips: How Does the NutriSystem Diet Work?

By Jessica Anderson Weight Loss Guru

This program is everywhere. One t.v. spokeswoman says that she used the program twice to lose weight. People have lost as few as 35 pounds and as much as 125 pounds using the system.

NutriSystem started off with most of its clients being women. Now, they offer a men's plan and a senior adult plan for both men and women. Their website also states that they have plans for vegetarian dieters and those suffering from Type II diabetes.

The NutriSystem diet is based on the glycemic index. This number is based on the affect different foods have on the blood sugar. Foods with a high glycemic index cause more insulin to be secreted therefore causing hunger to return quicker when these particular foods are consumed. Foods with a lower glycemic index lead to a more stable blood sugar and energy throughout the day. There are no spikes in insulin levels so you are less hungry and more satisfied with your meals.

Every four weeks Nutrisystem delivers food to your home. The food can be easily prepared by following the handy included instructions. And best of all, no refrigeration is required because of the process used to package the foods.

The food is proportioned to provide nutritious, low glycemic index foods. These are called "good carbs" and they cause fast fat loss without much work. According to the Nutrisystem, the weight and fat will just melt away.

The plan does encourage participants to add low fat milk and dairy, salads, and fruits to each NutriSystem meal. The main concern is the carbohydrates that we eat. Protein is protein, but carbohydrates aren't all the same which is evidenced by the numbers reached through the glycemic index. Processed carbohydrates raise blood sugar, while those that are made of whole grains stabilize it.

The plan does not exclude exercise but it is designed to work without it. Exercise may improve the results of the program since they are already giving you foods that are optimal for you. Whether weight loss will increase with activity is unknown.

The meal delivery program is expensive, but you may qualify for a payment plan. If you can afford to spend a few hundred dollars on yourself and then the same amount on the rest of your family each month, this may be the plan for you. NutriSystem requires no counting, recording of meals, or anything else like that. You just choose your meal, add some healthy extras, and eat.

But if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars per month, per person and all you need is a quick, much cheaper alternative. You should try a safe, healthy cleanse. I've put together a plethora of information about this attractive option on my website. Please follow my links below and learn more about it. - 20611

The Different Uses of Diamonds

By Paul Easton

Many times a diamond is known for its sparkle rather than what it could be used for. It does have its practical side and has many other uses as well as making your lady happy.Lets look into some of the facts behind it:

For High Quality Diamond Rings at 1/2 retail shop available at: Polished Diamonds.co.nz - The Diamond Ring Specialist in New Zealand

The diamond is the hardest natural substance known to man, produced by eons of high pressure and temperature extremes inside the earth.

What is a simple carbon atom is transformed a complex crystalline lattice structure which has a lot of top-notched qualities that include durability, being chemically resistant, its light dispersion and refraction properties, as well as its abilities to scratch metals.

That is why the diamond one of the best known and most sought after precious gem.

What we mostly know about the diamond today is what we have learned through advertising and the movie industry. In the jewelry industry, diamonds are the most popular, making more money than all the other gemstones combined. Part of its popularity is because of its high luster qualities, a natural property of the diamond that is enhanced by the expertise of a diamond cutter.

Diamonds in the jewelry business are most popularly used in engagement or wedding rings, although it has been used in many other jewelry forms as well. Diamonds are usually set in metals that emphasize its natural beauty and sparkle, most common of which are white gold, yellow gold and platinum.

But diamonds have other practical uses as well. Actually, more of these gems are used in industrial applications, rather than in the jewelry making business, as not a lot of natural diamonds found in mines are suitable as gemstones. Synthetic diamonds, or those that are man-made in a laboratory, are also produced to meet the demands of industrial use. These uses are mainly the following:

- cutting and grinding tools such as drill bits and saws

- abrasives that cut and polish other materials, including other gemstones

- fine engraving tools with detailed precision

- coatings for files

- semiconductor coatings and materials for microchips and computer processors.

- laser components for precise and durable optical equipment

- windows that are used to cover openings of lasers, x-rays and vacuum chambers

- speaker domes that enhance the performance of high quality speakers

- heat sinks to conduct heat away from sensitive parts of high performance microelectronics

- low friction micro-bearings placed in tiny mechanical devices like watches

It looks like the diamond is here to stay forever. And who knows what other uses it can be designed for in the future. With increasing research and synthetic production, innovative companies might be able to further expand the use of the diamond in the fields of medical care, particularly that of prosthetics and surgery, in computer technology, acoustic and communication instrumentation, and others. Given that it seems that the diamond will endure until the end of time, mankind has no choice but to take this brilliant and durable stone on its historic journey. - 20611

Stop Snoring Home Remedy - Can this Work?

By Siegfried Spink

For as long as people have been known to snore there have been remedies to solve it. Lots of difficulties are caused by the sounds of snoring for those closest to the offender also. People who snore are always looking for ways to end their ailment, and so there are countless solutions to end the noise.

Losing weight is one several effective methods that can help stop you snoring. It is scientifically proved that there is a link between snoring and obesity and shedding excess weight is a solution suggested to stop snoring. Losing weight can also improve your overall health and lead to feeling much better about yourself and your life.

Refrain from drinking alcohol before sleep is advised. A person who consumes more alcohol before bed will be more likely to snore than a person who did not drink alcohol. If your partner notices you only snore when you drink alcohol this would indicate that less drinking before sleep is the answer.

Quitting cigarettes can be a great input in curing snoring. Proof exists that smokers snore more heavily than non-smokers. As the lungs get filled with mucous and congestion it is hard to breathe through the nose therefore so many smokers breath through the mouth which ultimately produces noise.

As well as snoring being a nuisance it could be a sign of a medical problem. You can always try strips or a humidifier, but if all fails, do consult a qualified medical practitioner. In order to get to the bottom of the problem your doctor needs to know your history and your patterns from you and your partner. For example, a simple operation may be the answer if the doctor decides that your snoring is caused by restrictions in your air supply.

You may not be able to solve your snoring problem on your own. If this is the case you should consult your doctor for a complete investigation to rule out other possibly serious health problems. Bring a spouse, or other witness to your snoring, to the doctors appointment. This can help the doctor find out what is happening. Many people do not know how it sounds or when it is starts or stops. A person hearing it may be able to tell the doctor exactly what it's like.

A lack of sleep may cause a serious medical issue. When your body is not given the right amount of time to recharge fully, you will not be very effective in daytime and could even fall asleep when it would be danderous to do that. Snoring can actually be a far more serious concern than most people would believe. - 20611

Can I Get By With A Non-Secured Debt Consolidation Loan

By Frank Froggatt

Nobody needs to hear or even think about the word bankruptcy, but for many people who are overwhelmed under a load of debt, they may think that it is their only option. The verity of the subject is that there are alternatives to this drastic step. Options that can relieve you from the burdens and help you to experience a little more comfortable in your situation.

One of these choices for relief is loan consolidation. This form of refinancing helps you to get back control of your finances and your life. You may think that refinancing is only for those who own a home but the truth is that you don't have to own a home to qualify for refinancing. Even if you do have a house it isn't always required to put it up for collateral. This is where what is known as an unsecured debt consolidation loan falls into place.

Unsecured debt consolidation loans do not require collateral. You can pay off all your other creditors and keep your house - or lack thereof - out of the deal. Lenders are able to continue in business by addressing their gamble with loftier interest rates than they extend on assured loans.

Even though the interest rates are a bit higher for an unsecured loan it can nevertheless give you a smaller overall payment then what you have got without it. Particularly if your charge cards are carrying high interest rates. Be sure to shop more or less though as the loaning industry is a capitalistic marketplace and you may be able to spare a bit on your interest rates. Even a half a point spread out over many years can extend into thousands of bucks.

If you browse around, negotiate, and still find that the rate of interest is not going to make an adequate difference in your monthly requital to make life comfy again, reckon choosing a long-term loan. While you will by and large end up paying out a greater total sum by the finish of the loan, lengthening the time span of your unsecured debt consolidation loan will decrease your average monthly requital. That alone could make all the difference in the world.

Chances are that, if you are in this state of affairs, the late payments are already wreaking mayhem on your credit score so the probabilities of acquiring this unsecured loan are remote right? Well yes and no. With the current economic system and the financial crisis banking companies are getting more stringent on who they will lend to but there are still organizations out there who will loan you money to consolidate, particularly if you have a good work history. Having this history isn't always necessary either though it surely helps, there are establishments who will lend out to anyone you can simply reckon on bearing a steeper interest rate.

If your bills are getting you down to the place that you're really considering bankruptcy, stop. Gather up those credit card bills, utility bills, emporium card bills, doctor's bills and any other bill that's costing you sleep at night. Check Out an unsecured debt consolidation loan and learn how easy it can be to preserve your credit and peace of mind. - 20611

Understanding Telepathic Communication

By Alex J Gould

Ninety percent of our brains are unused by humans. What that part of the brain is for remains undiscovered. The remaining ten percent is used to function in daily life.

What most of us aren't aware of is that we're all born with the innate ability to communicate with each other without having to speak a word out loud or even move a muscle physically.

We are taught from birth to not pursue our natural ability to send and receive telepathic messages.It would more than likely be considered "weird" or a sign of a mental problem if we did recognize this ability.

We push our natural abilities aside, but it still crops up sometimes when we somehow know who is calling when the phone rings or what someone is going to say before they say it.

Is this forewarning a form of clairvoyance? Or did your mind simply receive a subconscious telepathic call from the person calling you?

Whether we realize it or not we already send and receive telepathic signals. It is possible to learn to do this deliberately whenever we want. It takes a little practice, but is well within the scope of our brains.

The natural ability to interact using telepathy is undeveloped in most people. It is not used or recognized as we go through day-to-day life. Most do not think they have this power or know how to use it. A person has to focus on contacting another for it to be effective.

Scientist say our though have a frequency and can be measured. A person can learn to use this to contact others and send messages. These thoughts or frequencies must be channeled in the right way in order to be effective in communication.

Ways to develop your telepathic powers

*Get relaxed - You need to put yourself into a trance like mode, this will allow your mind to receive messages that others are trying to send you or if you want to connect with someone. When your mind and body are relaxed you are open to send and receive telepathic messages.

If you're working on your telepathic ability alone then spend some time learning how to bring yourself into a trance state.

*Get focused - Select a nice quiet dark room. Get yourself relaxed and think happy thoughts about the person you want to hear from. Form the message you want this person to receive, imagine they are receiving it as you picture them in your mind. Let him or her know you want to be contacted. Stay confident that this person will respond with a message.

*Belief - You need to believe that the other person is receiving your message. Keep an open minded attitude as you learn to expand your telepathic focus.

*Stop the exercise - Snap yourself out of your dreamy state and go about your daily routine. This is an important part of the whole process.

As soon as you are finished and withdraw your good feelings from the person, he or she will be prompted to contact you. This is because you cut off the communication and the person will no longer feel your presence. They will miss you more and take steps to reach out to you.

If you're practicing alone, this technique can be a great way to learn to focus your mind and your innate telepathic ability. There are equally powerful ways to learn to focus using two people.

A quick way to practice with two people.

*Sender and Receiver - Decide which of you will be the message sender and which will be the receiver. For the purpose of this example, we'll assume you are the sender.

Your friend, the receiver will need to write down anything that flows into his or her mind. Get a note pad and a pen ready and go over the necessity of writing it all down with your friend. Assure him or her that if it is thought it is not made up, this will help make sure it is all wrote down.

*Visualization - The person sending should pre-arrange some clear, simple images that are easy to pick up. Choose items that most people know easily, like red apples, yellow bananas or a white moon. These are concise simple images to project and maintain your focus.

*Transmission - Lie back and focus on connecting with your receiver. Imagine the two of you are connected and thoughts are flowing through a wire or cord back and forth. You can visualize this in a way that works for you as long as it represents a connection.

Then place the object you want the receiver to see inside your mental communication tube and send it directly to him. Create your image as clearly as you can. If you choose to focus on a red, shiny apple, then make sure you follow your apple all the way to the end of the thought-tube.

The act of visualization is a powerful tool in allowing your mind to focus on getting your message across.

*End message - Stop sending when you have seen the object reach the receiver. Stop thinking about it, this is an important step as it lets the receiver see the image appear. He or she will also have time to write it all down

*Receive - The receiver needs to approach this with an open mind and want to receive messages. It all needs to be written down as a record to refer to later. It is important to relax and let the message flow in.

The receiver may be skeptical at first and think the things coming into their mind are not relevant. Nevertheless, it all needs to be recorded. We all have thoughts going through our heads at times but it is important the receiver knows that thoughts are being deliberately sent.

*Results - When your telepathic training session is complete, compare notes of what images were sent and what images were received. You should see that even untrained minds will be able to pick up vague images and even though you won't get 100% of them right on the first try, there will be a few that match up.

Remember, practice makes perfect! - 20611

The Right Gift For Everyone

By Deaven4Liyah2

In this day and age of instant messaging and email, cell phones and social networks, mankind seems more impersonal and out of touch with each other than ever before. What ever happened to a hand written thank you note or a face to face "thank you"? Have we forgotten how to show true gratitude and appreciation to one another? Let's slow down the pace of life for a minute and truly show someone a heartfelt "thanks" for something unexpected.

There are times when you really need a helping hand. For example, the birth of a little baby which can be both wonderful and challenging. You find yourself with a close friend or relative or someone in the neighborhood who comes in and helps you with the baby or does the cooking. Definitely, you are deeply touched by this generosity and you feel a deep sense of gratitude. Is it enough to just message a "thnx"? I am sure you want to do more and something differently.

With a world of gifts and ideas right at your fingertips, the possibilities are endless. Thank you gifts can vary from simple to extravagant. A simple bouquet or basket of flowers, either arranged by yourself or all ready assembled, with a personal note can really brighten someone's day. A basket of homemade muffins or warm cookies can be a simple gesture that shows you took time to create something special for that person.

Many people consider themselves coffee connoisseurs, so a great gift is a nice mug with cappuccino mix. One great gift I've been given is a cookie recipe, along with a mason jar containing the dry ingredients to make it. These gifts don't require a crafty temperament or a lot of money.

In case such ideas are not directly at hand, there are a number of ways to show your sincere gratitude. It can be in the form of something that they would come across from time to time in their daily lives. You can buy a nice little picture album. Another lovely idea would be to buy a magazine subscription. Depending upon the age, gender or interest of the person, you can choose the perfect one from the many different types of magazines available today. This will be a great reminder of your appreciation every month delivered right on their doorstep.

What do you get, though, if none of these seems quite right? A gift basket can be a great way to say thanks, and there are many more options than you'd think. A basket of fresh local fruit from a farmers market is perfect for any kind of person or occasion. Do you share a favorite sports team? A basket of merchandise for the team would be greeted with enthusiasm. Plus, one great thing about a gift basket is that they can be shared. You can give them to a whole family or team or group of coworkers.

But really there are no boundaries to show your love or appreciation. Ideas for such as this are limited to your imagination. First think of the person you want to thank, and come up with something creative. Remember even the simplest things can say the most. - 20611

Mineral Makeup Ingredients: Good Stuff Inside

By Marilyn Etzel

Why is mineral makeup all the rage? The ingredients in mineral cosmetics provide a sheer look to the skin that is not heavy like your auntie's old makeup. Some mineral makeup contains natural and not so natural ingredients.

Natural is a relative term. For mineral makeup, it means that the minerals came from the earth. Some mineral cosmetics have these natural ingredients plus a few extras used as fillers and preservatives. They are not necessarily harmful, but the choice is yours as to what your makeup can contain.

The premise of mineral makeup is that it is all natural. In order to be all natural, the ingredients have to be wholesome and not harmful to your skin. If your mineral makeup contains ingredients like this, you are in for clean healthy skin under your makeup.

1. Mica - Mica is found in just about all mineral cosmetics. Even though mineral makeup is fine powder, it still needs to adhere to your face instead of your clothes when you are applying it. That's where mica comes in. the properties of this mineral aid in the adherence of the makeup as well as reflecting light to reduce large pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Serecite mica is the type of this mineral most commonly used.

2. Titanium Dioxide - Do you have skin imperfections that you want to hide? You'll be glad that your mineral cosmetics contain titanium dioxide. This mineral provides a natural matte finish to your skin and also brighteners to simulate the natural glow of healthy skin. As with mica, titanium dioxide reflects light to conceal large pores and fine lines. You will gain sun protection with this mineral that is also found in commercial sunscreen products. For extra coverage, apply sunscreen to your skin before your makeup.

3. Zinc Oxide - This is the mineral that makes up the warrior stripes on the faces of surfers and other beach goers in the summer time. Zinc oxide stays on even when it gets wet to continue to protect your skin. The mineral zinc is also found in homeopathic medicines and is a natural healing agent for the body.

4. Iron Oxide - There's nothing wrong with a splash of color to make a women noticeable in a crowd. Iron oxides add color to mineral makeup naturally. The pigments come in several shades useful for eye shadows and blushes. More subtle pigments are used to match foundations to all skin tones.

5. Silica - this mineral when powdered, adds a silky feel to mineral makeup. It functions to absorb excess oil in the skin so makeup continues to appear natural and not cakey. Silica powder also helps to reduce fine lines and reduce pores.

6. Boron Nitride - Another natural mineral that absorbs excess oil similar to silica. It smoothes the skin and provides a natural look like mica and silica. Women would rather have a glow than a shine and boron nitride helps mineral makeup to accomplish this.

To be natural, mineral makeup must contain natural ingredients like the minerals named above. Other products like kaolin clay or rice powder are added also. Whether you choose to use these ingredients is up to you.

Choose carefully depending on your skin issues and choices for ingredients. Try more than one kind and compare. - 20611

Free Find People Tips

By Samsul Fathan Mashor

Sometimes in life it is necessary to find someone you have lost. The reasons for this can vary greatly but the common thing to look out for is the cost involved. It can be a very expensive business. What you really need is a free people search. There are even places that will put you on the right track of a free background check or search phone number. Whatever it is you need and for whatever reason there are ways of obtaining it without spending a fortune. You just have to know where to look. First of all let's explore how you go about looking.

It is possible to obtain some free people search information from government offices. Some of these can be accessed over the internet but quite a few will require appointments and phone calls. Even those that need a long explanation letter can start to eat up a lot of time. It will probably be necessary to wait some lengthy periods of time, sometimes after having had to provide ID yourself. It is one way to do a free people search but it can be limited and time consuming. This may not be what you want.

There are tons of free people search things you can do on the major search engines and loads of people like to do things this way. You can access free phone number search information and many other items that may be of interest to you. These search engines have data bases full of information that could be helpful to you. You enter text in the search box and the engine matches it up. Learning to put in text that results in the most accurate results can be a bit of a skill. Once you have that mastered though free people search on a search engine can be the way to go.

If none of this has worked for you and you are still desperate to find the person or do a background check, then you may have to resort to a paid website. Even though this costs money it does a much deeper people search or search ssn. A search you pay for on a site probably has a better chance of being successful. The information you access is probably more likely to be one hundred percent accurate. It is probable that when you join the paid site you will need to supply some information about yourself in the usual way you do when you become a member of something online. This way of doing a people search, may be particularly suitable for you if you are the sort of person who is likely to need this service more than once.

All of these ways of getting a search you need are viable. It is entirely dependent on your circumstances as to which one suits your needs best. The best thing for you to do is to consult an expert on these things and see what they recommend. - 20611

Staying together in tough times

By James Rankin

According to a story in the Toronto Star divorce lawyers say business was down in January as more couples decide to stay together for economic reasons. Business may be down, however, that doesn't mean couples are staying together necessarily - it may only mean that couples have separated but are delaying their actual divorce due to the cost.

Many people do not care as much as in the past about a person's legal marital status. As a result it is less important for people to bother with the legal formality of ending their marriage unless they want to get married again. New relationships can be developed despite still being married because many are think that being separated is already the same as no longer being married.

It is true that you can get divorced, yet continue to reside together for economic reasons. Being separated while still living with your spouse sounds weird but that's the law. What counts is not so much whether you live under the same roof as whether your actual marriage relationship has ended. Do you still go places together, share bank accounts, do errands for one another, sleep together? These are the things that matter when determining whether you are separated or not.

Therefore, a couple might live together to keep costs down and still go ahead and end their marriage if they have the few hundred dollars it will take to pay for divorce forms plus the court's filing fee.

A common related question is how does the court know if you have been truly separated for a year if you don't even have to show different residences. The answer is basically that the court will take your word for it as long as your spouse does not object. - 20611

Find Your Soul Mate - Online!

By Ferda Shinsky

Did you touch a computer today? Most people in today's world spend a portion of their day on the internet, whether it be checking emails, listening to music, research, or just for fun. Why not spend a little of that time meeting your soul mate? There are many websites that promote online dating, all of which are extremely simple to join; which is why the online dating world is so successful now.

On the web there are hundreds of online dating websites. There are smaller, more community based sites that may be free; and then there are the larger sites that charge a nominal fee. The sites that charge the fee often give the best results as they have wider basis and a more legitimate appearance.

While joining these sites you need to create your profile. I would suggest you to take your own time and create the best profile so that it impresses the members of the opposite sex. If you want you can upload your picture too. Please give all relevant details so that the members can know about you and your interests. You should not give false information in order to impress the opposite sex members.

Long term relationships have one key ingredient - trust. This relates to the online dating world in the sense of personal information. Never give out your personal information carelessly as it could end up in the wrong hands. All personal information needs to given out sparingly throughout the online dating process.

A great online service is through eHarmony; a popular, well known match making website. Results are often great on this site and it introduces you to hundreds of people in your local area along with around the state and country who have the same interests as you. By researching and looking into each candidate, you can simply choose which members you would like to chat with and learn more about. The more you chat with them, the more options open up; like learning all of their interests, who they are, how they act, and so much more.

Once you have found your suitable match you can get closer to him/her. You can exchange personal details once you are sure that the person is trust worthy. You can even chat using webcams. At one stage you would like to meet him/her in person. You need to be a bit careful during your first few dates. It is safe if you follow these safety tips.

You should avoid meeting your date in a remote place during the first few dates. You should inform one of your close friends about your date. You should keep your friend informed with the details such as where you are going to meet your date, time of meeting and your mobile phone number. You can ask your friend to call you frequently on your first day of dating.

The online era is now, and the era of meeting your match in bars and grocery stores is coming to and end. Finding your match is simple when using the internet as your ally through online dating websites. It opens many doors and possibilities to meet new people and expand your social network. The online dating era has begun, are you ready to find your soul mate? - 20611

How the Law of Attraction Will Alter Your Life Course

By Dick Ingersoll

Living within the Law of Attraction is definitely going to take you off the course you were headed down before you found this secret of the ages. What's so amazing is that you find no more use for the stuff that you once thought was necessary.

You often hear how a person received more things like a car, house, vacation or financial security. That's just the icing on the cake. With the Law of Attraction, what you lose can be the best part.

Lose? You thought the Law of Attraction was just about gaining. It is - that's why you have to lose to make it work. Once you understand the simple steps of Ask, Believe, and Receive - and you see the result - you realize that you can't follow this course by hanging onto old things hindering your success.

You begin to see what you need to leave behind. Now that you've moved from a job to a career, you're excited about learning everything you need to know to move forward in your career.

When you aren't working or relaxing at home, you're spending time with people who share your mindset. These people enjoy healthy activities like sports or yoga. As you look around, you realize that you have no time or interest in hanging around the old crying-in-their-beer crowd.

And you don't come home frustrated, collapsing on the sofa with a quart of ice cream or bottle of cheap wine. Almost without effort, these changes in how you see yourself and how you invest your life energy has brought about other transformations.

You've lost weight, reduced dangerously high cholesterol levels, become more agile and the stress lines on your face have smoothed out. You are maximizing the positives about yourself and you like what you see.

No wonder you're attracting into your circle of friends people who value positive energy just as you do! After those tentative beginnings when you prove the Law of Attraction really works, then you become bolder in taking charge of your life.

As much as you explain this to people from your old life, some will not shed their shackles for the freedom you have found. A few will - and they may travel new roads with you.

Or they may go on other roads to find their dreams. Either way, you have given back to the positive energy in the universe by sharing this wonderful concept. Each time you put the Law of Attraction into action, you see how what you receive has a trickle down effect.

You ask for a townhouse in the city closer to your job - even though prices are high and finding a good place is difficult. That's okay because you're specific in your request and believe that the townhouse is already yours - you are merely waiting for the universe to reveal the address of your new abode.

When you receive it, you share this with your real estate agent. What you didn't know is that your agent was depressed and worried about finances until you showed her how to apply the Law of Attraction.

Now her life is turned around and she has more free time. Months later, when she's offered a major planned community development project, she brings you in as a design consultant. Positive energy attracts more positive energy - and that will definitely alter your course in life. - 20611

Guy Gets Girl - Be The One To Get The Girl

By Steve Carter

Go on, admit it - you're like every single man out there in that you'd love to have the secret to getting a girl to fall for you quickly and easily. Wouldn't it be great if there was a book that simply guaranteed to ensure that the guy gets the girl every time. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple because more often the best ways to impress a girl really depends on the girl herself. Yet, that said, there are some things that you can do that nearly every girl likes, that will help you get the girl, and hold on to her.

The first thing that you have to remember is confidence, not cockiness. For whatever reason men seem to confuse the two and will often turn a girl off by being obnoxious rather than simply confident. So, what is the difference between the two? Well, a guy who is obnoxious will address a girl in a term like baby, or babe. Without even asking an obnoxious guy will join a girl at a table and start talking, this is not confidence, this is simply being rude.

Instead, if you want to assume a position of confidence, then you should approach a girl whilst looking her directly in her eyes. Introduce yourself and ask if you can join her, dance, etc. whatever the situation dictates. It is okay to take her gently by the elbow, but refrain from putting your arm around her or trying to hold her hand. Guide, not pull. That is the guy who gets the girl!

If you want to be the guy who gets the girl then after you have approached her and she is open to your presence, talk to her about her, when she asks about you share a little but don't talk too much about yourself. Girls like guys who listen. Try to build in a compliment about her eyes and her lips (it get's her to think about kissing), but be sincere, and don't be crude. Telling her something like she is hot is not going to do it if you want her to stick around, instead try something like, I love your smile, be specific in your compliments, let her know you are paying attention.

Maybe you're not the guy who always gets the girl, but few are, yet however if you treat a woman like she is a bright, genuine individual and not merely an 'object of desire' or a conquest to be overcome, you will be pleasantly surprised at the level of attention that you receive from women. Women want to know that you want her, but she doesn't want you to crudely come out and say it. Identify the correct words and use them, and before you know it, you'll get the girl. - 20611

How Important Is Leadership Development In Business?

By Bart Icles

Executive coaching and leadership training are two great ways to improve productivity in the work place. These techniques can help train employees to perform at a higher level and raise the overall value of the company. In order for this to happen, the employee must be willing to take direction and constructive criticism.

Many times, we have had managers and leaders ask us, What do you do when you have tried to coach and counsel an employee about a performance concern, and the employee has not responded? This can be a very uncomfortable situation for both the employee and his superior. It is essential that the coach and the employee have a sit down talk and get everything on the table.

We have seen far too many cases when the leader has not tried to communicate his concerns into words. Many leaders look for the quick fix and lack on explaining important specifics. When the problem does not improve, the supervisor is mad, and the employee is confused.

One of the most important things to having a successful company is communication between employees and their managers. The only way leadership training and executive coaching will be effective is with trust and communication between team members.

Many people in leadership positions don't understand the entire principle of coaching. Unfortunately, we have seen many cases when the leader coaches his/her employees in a one shot effort. The manager is usually disappointed when he does not see good results. Inspiring and training your employees takes a lot of effort and time. It is a significant investment, but can be the difference between taking your company to the next level. Coaching requires regular ongoing discussions and experiences to achieve the level of support and cooperation needed.

In some work settings employees have become extremely use to heavy authority and strict procedures. Many times, this is not an environment conducive to leadership development. In this situation, employees usually don't feel attached to the job or organization. They lack true desire to improve and become an active part of the team. There are many examples of organizations that have very low performance in this type of a firm. Probable the best thing a leader can do is pull back and reexamine the entire working setting. Management needs to reestablish the company goals and implement a new strategy to be successful.

Establishing the right setting for your firm is a major part of having a successful company. When the employees feel a sense of security and loyalty towards the company, they will be prepared to improve their performance through executive coaching and leadership training. - 20611

The Differences between Criminal and Civil Law

By Amy Nutt

Most people dont differentiate between civil law and criminal law, partly because the majority of news coverage in the media is dedicated to criminal law cases. Most people have heard of a civil lawsuit, but they arent really sure how the two are different. Civil cases arent as widely publicized because they dont ever have the same dramatic punch that often comes with a big criminal case.

It may come as a surprise to many people just how different the two types of suits are " here are some of the biggest differences between criminal and civil law cases.

The Verdict and Subsequent Ruling

This is the major reason why criminal cases are so much more publicized and advertised in the media. The defendant in a criminal case runs much more of a risk " a guilty verdict can bring with it several different forms of punishment depending upon the severity of the crime committed.

Crimes are broken down into two sub categories " first are the felonies, which are the larger offenses and which will most likely result in more severe punishments. Second are misdemeanors, which are the smaller offenses and will likely yield sentences that are not quite as harsh.

A person charged with first degree murder, which is the top of the ladder as far as felonies are concerned, could receive life in prison without parole " or even the death penalty depending upon the state in which the crime was committed. Lesser felony offenses may still yield large amounts of jail time, depending upon the nature of the crime; whether there was pre-meditation, or if the person has been involved in similar criminal activity before.

Misdemeanor charges with convictions often result in one of or a combination of the following " fines, probation, community service and in some cases jail time. Again depending on the circumstances surrounding the crime, the punishment may be either more or less severe.

The defendants involved in a civil case will never, under any circumstances " regardless of the crime charged, be subject to the same forms of punishment as those convicted in criminal cases. In fact, regardless of the nature of the crime committed defendants convicted in civil cases will never do any time in prison. Defendants who are on the losing side of the verdict in a civil case are often responsible to reimburse the plaintiff or plaintiffs of the case in an amount determined by the judge or jury to be comparable to the loss that they may have suffered due directly as a result of the defendants actions. The actual monetary amount awarded in the verdicts of these cases is often hard to come to, especially in cases when more than just property is lost or damaged as a result of the defendants actions.

Making the Case

In a criminal case, the defendant is innocent until proven guilty. Its is the responsibility of the side of the plaintiff to build a case that shows beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did, in fact commit the crime in question. If the defense can inject even the smallest shadow of doubt on the plaintiffs case the verdict in the case will (or should) return not guilty. If the jury is not very close to one hundred percent certain that the defendant committed the crime in question, then there is no conviction.

The proof required to get the desired verdict in a civil case is not nearly as high as that of a criminal case. If the plaintiff can initially convince the jury that its reasonably possible that the defendant is responsible, the burden for proving their innocence falls on the defense. If the evidence shows more than fifty percent probability that the defendant is responsible a guilty verdict can be returned and the defendant then becomes responsible for reparations.

Even if the defendant is convicted of the charges and ordered to pay, it still doesnt mean that the plaintiff will receive a financial windfall as a result of the conviction. Often if the defendant has nothing to give, then the plaintiff wont receive the judgment awarded.

Even if the charges are exactly the same, the results and subsequent penalties handed down can be drastically different in criminal cases and civil cases. Civil cases, while not nearly as dramatic to the media as criminal cases and even when a sum cant be awarded, can provide true closure for the plaintiff if the defendant is convicted. - 20611

What is a Nocturnal Animal

By Richard Guzman

Andrew's class has an oral report due next week. They have been studying nocturnal animals. Nocturnal animals sleep during the day and stay awake at night. His assignment is to pick a nocturnal animal and share what he learned with the class. He is the only student in the class who hasn't picked one.

Andrew's friend "The Brain" slept over last night. After everyone was asleep, they snuck out to look for nocturnal animals. Andrew was bored. To entertain himself he thought it would be fun to hang upside down on a tree branch. That wasn't such a bright idea. The branch broke and so did his arm.

Although, he was restricted from some activities and even some chores he still had to do his oral report. I know it sounds unbelievable but his report is due Monday and he still hasn't picked a nocturnal animal.

He convinced his mother to let him go over to friends' house. His friend was going to help him pick a nocturnal animal and help him research it on the computer. The funniest thing happened as soon as he got to his friends' house. His friends' Mom was still puzzled. She wanted to know why he was hanging upside down in a tree at night like a bat. Andrew finally realized what nocturnal animal his report was going to be about! A bat!

Jake and Andrew looked for websites that had information about bats. Andrew learned many interesting and fascinating facts about them. He learned that a bat was a mammal, just like we are. He also found it cool how insect eating bats move around in the dark, a process called echolocation. This means when a bat sends out a high pitched sound a sound bounces off objects around them and comes back to their ears. Also, when a bat rests he hangs upside down. I bet he doesn't break very many branches and arms. Andrew is so excited that his report is really coming together. When he got home he practiced his oral report in front of the family. He decided to take his sisters' advice and add pictures. Today the reports were due. Andrew was picked to go first and he was fantastic!Looking back, he realized that he should have gone about picking a nocturnal animal differently. All the worrying was for nothing.

In the future Andrew will relax! Andrew admits he gets overwhelmed easily. The teacher doesn't even finish her sentence and he becomes nervous. As soon as he hears the word "project" his stomach does flip flops and whatever she says after that is "blocked out". Andrew agrees this sounds pretty accurate. Perhaps, it would be in his best interest to research the topic on the computer first. Andrew agrees 100%. He said utilizing the computer should never be his last priority. He was really surprised how many websites were just a few clicks away from the topic he needed information on. For example; Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com are very helpful and simple to use to find out information. Andrew, realizes that on any of the above websites, he simply has to type a sentence or the main words of your topic. It is unbelievable how fast the results are displayed...in seconds.

Andrew, thought about it and using a computer is so much easier than sneaking out and getting injured. Andrew said he did not look at the big picture when he made his careless decision. He also believes that this experience has taught him to stop and think before making any hasty decisions in the future. Andrew, knows if he has any other questions to just ask a family member someone will be more than happy to help him with his dilemma. - 20611

Update Online Dating With Online Dating Sims

By Ferda Shinsky

You know what is the best new way to online dating? Online dating sims. They have made it so easy to sign up and find a match. I checked one day on match com and I had more than 100 possible matches.

I picked Ashley Madison. She seemed nice enough. We flirted for a while and found out both of us like Star Wars. It wouldn't have ever come up if it hadn't been for the online dating sims. If you aren't using them right now, you should.

People love online dating sims due to how easy it is to find matches. All they need to do is complete the sign up form and they are done. Finding matches online also accepts people with zero experience in online dating.

You should make a picture visible on the online dating sims page. The picture should not be faked though. If the date sees you in real life, realizes he/she has been fooled, and you really are not who you say you are, then things could get ugly.

Over time, people will get used to the new online dating experience if it is hard at first. If they start to panic, they can always talk to a friend. Talking to friends will help calm nerves and make the dating experience easier for them.

You must remember that the matches you encounter would like to have the chance to get to know you so that they can fall in love. If someone does not like you, just move on to another person. You must have confidence in yourself, for only then will you find the right person.

The Internet will grant you more opportunities than the real word can. You should be able to adjust to online dating without a problem as long as you remember what you are trying to achieve by using online dating sims.

Lastly, remember that you are looking for the best match for yourself, and that it won't help anybody if you aren't completely honest. Have fun and stay safe. Online dating can be the best dating experience you've ever had if you stick with it and remember why you started in the first place. - 20611

Helpful Advice on Relationships

By Steve Carter

Yes, a relationship between two people, when it's all working correctly, can be a wonderful thing. However, most people accept that in their relationship there is always 'room for improvement'. This leads many people to seek out advice on discovering ways to keep their relationship exciting, or possibly recreate that initial spark that could have faltered somewhat.

There are many different approaches one can take to improving his or her relationship. However, sometimes it is difficult to devise those strategies on your own. Never fear, there is plenty of relationship advice out there to be had. That said, don't think all advice is 'good advice' - advice is very personal and subjective; what appears to work for some people doesn't necessarily work for others. The key factor to consider in taking advice is be guided by what experience others have had from the person giving the advice. Always try to 'take advice' from someone who has been recommended.

Below is some advice from us on what we've learned about relationships in the form of 5 quick tips:

Tip #1: Take the time to write down all the wonderful things that you love about your partner. Then, pull it out and read it when you are having a rough spot. Reading about the positives will help motivate you to put more effort into your relationship.

Tip #2: If you get into an argument try to focus on avoiding negative statements such as "You never.." or "You always...". These type of statements are unfair and will get you nowhere with your partner. You should think of positive ways to voice your concerns, and use "I" statements.

Tip #3: Take the time to send a text message or an email to your partner that simply says, "I love you". The smallest gesture can often mean the most.

Tip #4: Try to wait for a good time to talk through serious issues with your partner. Things will go much more smoothly if your partner is not irritated, tired or disgruntled.

Tip #5: Be clearm, a successful relationship takes consistent effort from both partners. Relationships are always a work in progress.

You may know successful couples, in a relationship or marriage, who may be able to offer you advice on relationships. Many times, you will probably hear some of the same advice or tips that were offered above. You will need to decide which pieces of advice you think will work for you and your partner, and then apply them.

The interesting thing is that if your partner loves and respects you, he or she will likely follow your lead and begin to be more positive, loving and communicative. This is a win-win situation for both involved. - 20611
