Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Making Stew

By KC Kudra

When the weather is cold and your family is craving something thick and warming, how about making a delicious stew? A stew is a mixture of solid foods such as meat or fish and vegetables, which have been cooked slowly or simmered in liquid to combine the flavors well. The liquid is served as well as the chunky bits.

Common stew ingredients include meat, chicken, seafood, fish, potatoes, carrots, beans, and fruit. Wine, water, beer, or bouillons are commonly used as the stew liquid and seasonings help to add more flavor.

Soup and Stew - What is the Difference?

Stewing is a good cooking method to use on tough cuts of meat because stewing is the only way to tenderize them. Stews contain large pieces of meat or fish and vegetables. Soups contain smaller pieces, if any.

Soup can contain small chunky or be a pureed liquid with no bits in. It is served as an appetizer whereas a stew is a main dish. Soups are served in deep bowls whereas a chunky stew can be served on a plate.

How to Make Stew More Interesting

Meat, water, and vegetables cooked together will produce a stew but a very bland one, so it is helpful to know how to liven up your stew recipes and make them more delicious.

Stew is a versatile dish and you can use a lot of different meat, vegetable, liquid, spice and herb combinations in your stew recipes. It is best to season the meat with salt and pepper before searing it in a hot pan.

You might want to roll the meat in flour to thicken up the stew. Meat chunks should be browned all over before you add them to the liquid. This means they will not dry out. This applies whichever type of meat you are using - chicken, beef, pork, or something else.

The next step in making an exciting stew is to saut some vegetables in the pan, then add water, wine, juice, broth or whichever liquid you are using and scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any stuck on bits into the liquid. Put the meat back into the pan and cook slowly.

You should check the stew now and then to see if it needs more liquid, more seasoning, or a stir. When it is cooked, you can add some parsley, crumbled bacon, cider, or lemon juice to liven up the flavor. You can serve it with some warm bread on the side for mopping up the tasty juices.

Stew is a lot of fun to make and it is also very easy. Whether you want to make a green chile chicken stew or an authentic Irish stew, as long as you bear the above tips in mind your stew should come out great. - 20763

Best Grout Cleaner

By Sam Weyland

I like showing off my culinary expertise in the kitchen. Food is very intimate to humans, and I believe that the ability to cook is a gateway to a person's soul. I then make it a point that when friends stay over for a visit, I have them on the kitchen table, chatting whilst I prepare food.

What impresses them aside from my cooking skills (most of which are in-born talent) is the stark cleanliness of my kitchen. Particularly the kitchen counter itself. It's white and tiled, and my friends wonder how I manage to keep even the hard to reach areas clean. I've never told, but I'll tell you now.

I don't clean my grout at all.

Actually, I'm just a very practical person. Do the things you are really good at, and if possible, avoid the things you can't do. I am fully aware of the fact that I'm no good at cleaning up the tiles. Grout is a step harder. Take my word for it, I've been there.

And this is in no way my fault. Grout is a very porous solution, and as such all manner of clogs and dirt sweep through it on an everyday basis. And when you clean, your scrubbing can only reach the surface. In addition, the dirt below what you can reach remains visible even when unreachable, and it will breed bacteria on top of that. So nope, you won't find me doing what is not within my capacity to do.

So what do I really do? One, I maintain my grout. Prevention is better than the cure. Immediately after preparing food in the kitchen, I clean up the area, preventing the food particles from settling into the grout. On top of that, I spray alcohol mixed with water on the surface of my tiles and grout, after my family has turned in for the night. This solution disinfects and cleans, before the dirt and mold seeps into the material.

And even with all these safety measures, you can't keep the grout thoroughly clean like this. All this will accomplish is delay what'll happen eventually. The solution: When the times comes and you notice it getting really dirty, call in the professionals for a more deep cleaning. - 20763

How Can You Fix Pastel Paintings The Right Way?...

By Anna Meenaghan

What do we mean by fixing? Basically it is using different methods to try and preserve your paintings.

As to why we fix it is a personal thing. Some people are of the reasoning that maybe their colours may not appear fresh. Therefore not all artists like to fix. Artists differ on this subject with some only fixing at the end, others just fixing a certain segment as the work progresses.

Some people do not like to spray their painting, so there are alternative measures you can take. It is possible to use tissue or cellophane paper by the sheet. Then, if you have your painting on a flat board, cover it with this and press fairly hard. Any of the specks of paint will ingrain in your paper, but do not apply too much pressure or it could alter your texture.

Another way is to fix the back of your painting - this is to avoid you overspraying the painting. What happens is the fixative will soak through so that it makes the pastel damp to hold it in position, but does not really upset the surface. Some paper is pretty absorbent, therefore this is an improved way of fixing, rather than creating like a skin of fixative over not settled pigments.

I would never say that fixing is an easy task. You can use maybe a diffuser, which usually clog up. So the disadvantage being that you have to take a thin wire to them after use, so they are clean for your next usage. With these stand your distance, a good two feet away. Spray from this distance the outside first.

You will need a steady hand and spray backwards and forwards across your work slowly. Past the edges, but don't ever make a stop in the middle. The aim is to keep your arm moving, but you also only want a fine spray. It is horrible if the spray sticks somewhere and ends up dripping all the way down, most probably giving you nasty dark patches.

Next step, oh dear, you want to keep your colours fresh and fix it. How do I do this? You need to do this as you work, but before you lay your last colour paint layer or do any highlighting. This then should still stay fresh.

This is a good way to go about it as you do not have colour mixing problems with ones applied earlier and not be depressed by your colours looking dull. When this happens you think all that work ruined otherwise.

To get the best and freshest colour result leave the final colour layer unfixed. The choice is yours, but like I said it is never easy! - 20763

3 Great Ways On How to Attract Girls

By Steve Carter

You need to understand that girls have been working on how to get boys interested in them for years. Most girls have received attention from their opposite sex since they were young teenagers and they've pretty well see and heard every approach. To capture their interest you are going to need to adopt a different method.

If you are interested in learning how to attract girls with greater success then follow these three key steps and you will set yourself apart from all the rest of the men still trying the same unsuccessful techniques they've been using since they were young.

1. Firstly, if you want to understand how to attract girls, you must not seem so attracted in them. Don't chase after them. Remember, they're used to that. When you get their phone number, avoid calling for a day or so just to sho that you are not too eager. Then when you do call, don't call every five minutes. Girls don't want to be drenched with your attentions; they want to have the genuine attention of someone that is really interested in them, and who is looking for something more meaningful. If you really like someone, allow the girl to "chase" after you, even though that can be difficult. It will reap rewards in the end. And if she doesn't appear to chase even a little, then the likelihood is she's not that interested in you, and you need to know it's time to move on.

2. Secondly, what you need to do to attract girls is not seem so obviously attracted to them. We appreciate that is the complete opposite of what we're trying to achieve, but it's important advice because girls become more attracted to men that are not so obviously interested in them. Women tend to be attracted towards the men that don't seem to be staring at them, making cliche comments about how they look or trying to get their attention. Showing a discreet interest is the key.

A man that is minding his own business and going about his activities without falling all over her (even if you might want to) is a guy she will certainly notice above all the rest. Be confident, walk proudly and adopt an attitude of "if I get the girl, great ...if not, no problem". Adopting this approach will get you greater success over time.

3. Thirdly, realise that eventually, girls will come to you and want to get to know you. At this point it's key that you remain calm and collected. Maybe they ask you what time it is, or maybe they are looking at you, or just smile at you - as soon as you notice you've got her attention, it's time to make your move, but (and this is important) your move must be subtle.

If you're in the grocery store and you see she has a certain food item in her hand, ask her if it's any good because you wanted to try it. Is you see her at the video store, ask her if she's rented it and what she thinks about it. This is how to attract girls because they like to be in meaningful conversations and simple but genuine chat will come over as sincere and 'you are being you' rather than just treating her like a conquest or target.

Follow these three key steps if you want to know how to attract girls. Set yourself apart from the rest of the men who are constantly trying to get girls attention, and you will enjoy greater success with the girls. - 20763

Abusing Prescription Drugs

By Leland Michaels

When you hear people talking about drug addiction problems, what do you think of immediately? It;s probably cocaine, alcohol, or maybe some other harmful drug.

Have you ever thought about drug addiction involving drugs that were designed to help people? Many people day each day from the abuse of prescription drugs.

Hospitals use prescription drugs all over the world for many reasons. Their are pain relief drugs, drugs for disorders of the psyche, and many other applications.

Prexription drugs are designed to help the sick or injured. But when they are abused, they are just as harmful and addictive as any other type of drug.

Prescription drugs are made to help so they create a mental trap for people. They don't think they are dangerous.

Cocaine is broadcast world wide as a potentially fatal drug, so most people stay far away from it.But you are less intimidated by the pain killer your family doctor gives you. This makes it far easier to abuse.

That also means it is more difficult for the person suffering to get help. If their doctor gave them the drugs it is hard for them to see that they have a problem.

It also makes it hard to see how dangerous they are. But most deaths caused by prescription drug abuse happens the first time the person abuses them. That means most people only have to do it one time and they could die.

If you know anyone that is suffering from an addiction to prescription drugs, do not hesitate to intervene. - 20763

Lost Freedom

By LJ James

Whenever a person or group of people try to live their lives free, those who are stuck in unhappy lives will be jealous. Some people have a hard time letting go, freeing themselves from the day to day trials and tribulations of everyday life even for a little while. Others seek an escape from the stress and anxiety often associated with modern day life. I guess for me, that's part of why I am a Biker. There is something about riding a bike that inspires a sense of freedom in me. The open road, the wind in my face, the smells, getting back to nature, the power of my bike. It's all these things and more that make me feel free. It's unfortunate that there are some people who, for whatever reason, can't find something or someway to let go and experience the sense of freedom that we do. These people, for whatever reason, are the ones who point to us and call us rogues or rebels. They say that what we are doing is wrong and that our culture is a "disruptive influence."

As Bikers, we live our lives a little differently. We work and have responsibilities, but we still know the feeling of freedom. Maybe its because we smile just a bit more and are a bit more relaxed that turns these people green with envy? A person who works hard and has no free time sees a person on the road riding his or her motorcycle and thinks "I wish that was me!" The thought of being free doesn't leave their mind. They long for it. They crave it badly! How many of you out their have had a friend tell you how they have always wanted to buy a Motorcycle and just go out riding? How many of them ever actually do?

Here is a typical story : A man is driving home from work when he see's a group of motorcycle riders pull up next to him. He looks at this group of people riding together having a great time, He starts to think, "I wish that was me". He then decides, "I'm going to buy a Motorcycle!" He starts thinking about riding. How great it will be to have his wife on the back of his bike and the wind in his face. We could ride up to the lake or maybe that little motel way up in the Mountains. Thinking of the great times he will have he starts to feel that small sense of freedom. He thinks "This must be what those Biker get to feel, Wow!" He turns into the driveway, parks his truck and rushes into the house to tell his wife about his fantastic idea. "Hi honey, I'm going to buy a Motorcycle." His wife looks at him and says "What? Did you get overwhelmed by the fumes at work again?" "You can't ride a Motorcycle. The man answers back, "I'll learn!"

"You must be crazy", she says. "Those things are death traps! You will kill yourself and we can't afford it!" "Honey this is something I really want" replies the man. "NO NO NO!!! I won't have one of those things in my house! What kind of message would it send to the kids, our neighbors?" They argue about it, but it the end, the man never gets his motorcycle. He never goes to the lake with his wife or takes that trip up to the little motel in the mountains. He never feels the real sense of freedom one can only get when taking a long trip on a motorcycle. He spends the rest of his life wishing he had never seen that group of Motorcycles. He is angry and bitter.

Now when he see's Bikers he puts them down. He hates Bikers, not because of who or what they are, but because of what he can never be. He hates them because of what they represent. They represent a kind of freedom, sense of belonging, a oneness with nature and the world that he longs for, he craves, but can never have. We live here in America, the home of the free, but many are not free. They have never experienced the sense of freedom that can only be experienced on two wheels and, for whatever reason, never will. They live boring, uneventful. "safe" lives and complain about those who don't.

Don't hate these envious people, pity them for they will never know the sense of freedom and brotherhood we get from riding with a group of our Bro's. They'll never know the wind in their face, the feeling of peace and oneness with nature we feel as we ride threw the country side or down a long lonely highway. They'll never know the clarity of mind that comes from a long ride alone or the closeness and bond of a long ride or weekend away with someone special. Just thank your higher power that you've found a way to escape, a way to be free, even if it's just on the weekends.

Ride Safe and Ride Free because when it all come down to it, this is all about the Ride! Your Bro L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com Listen to LJs Radio Show at BikerLowDown.com - 20763

Training Your Chihuahua

By John Savage

A lot of people are under the impression that Chihuahuas are a tough breed to train, but I don't agree with that. Chihuahuas are intelligent dogs, good at doing tricks, and are highly trainable.

And how do you train them? With consistency and treats. Yes thats right, when they do something good, or something that you have asked them to do, reward them. Give them a treat, and they will soon learn that that behaviour brings goodies.

Its positive training that really works. Reward them when they get it right, but do not punish them when they get it wrong just resolve to keep on working at it until it comes right.

Treats and praise should be used when the dog has done what youve wanted him to do " whether he had your help or not. Simply show the dog what you want done, and give him a treat immediately following this. Then, give the command and see if he will do it on his own. If he doesnt, dont give him the treat. After several attempts to get him to do the trick or obey the command without your help, try again and help him, and give him the treat.

As far as commands go, I would suggest that most of your commands should be verbal commands. You could use hand signals, or the Clicker method, but I believe that verbal commands are best.

Training sessions shouldnt last more than fifteen minutes, but you can have two or three training sessions per day. Be sure not to skip any days, and try to hold the sessions at the same time each day. Start and end each training session with a trick or command that the dog has mastered.

Finally, realize that you can train your Chihuahua to follow any command that it is physically capable of following. Start with simple behavioral commands, such as sit, stay, and come, and work your way up to the more complicated commands and tricks, giving the dog the opportunity to master one trick or command before moving on to another one.

And this one step at a time approach will pay off big time. Your dog is highly intelligent, and keen to please, so please show them kindness and patience, and your training time will be well rewarded. - 20763

Home Repairs You Need A Specialist To Do For You

By Steven Gullit

Most men enjoy to fix a lot of things that get broken in a household. However, when it comes to fixing broken garage doors openings, hiring a specialist is the best possible and recommended solution. The danger is in the tension, the force accumulated by the springs, which can jump and get you seriously hurt or even kill you.

When trying to remove the broken torsion springs of a garage door, their tension gets released, making them move with an incredible force in all directions. Everybody around that spring is exposed to a big danger.

When torsion springs release their tension, they may have unpredictable movements, thus exposing everybody around to severe injuries, from losing an eye to losing your life. This is why only skilled persons should perform this replacement operation

You may be in the situation that only one of the springs is broken, so you'll be tempted to replace only that spring, This is a mistake, as both springs are worn out. Buy a set and replace both of them, in order to make sure you do a proper job.

Replacing torsion springs requires a special tool called spring tension tool. It helps releasing the spring's tension, then to tension the new spring in place. Try to rent the device from a garage door company, if you can and if you are convinced you know how to do the operation by yourself.

For state of the art garage doors, an electric drill is the only thing you need for putting tension onto the springs. However, it is still not a safe operation, so protect yourself by letting others do it.

Garage door fixing professionals can be found in Yellow Pages or on the internet, and they are usually fairly cheap, taking into consideration the high level of danger this job implies.

A garage door springs replacement would probably take about 500 dollars out of your pocket. However, in some states, such services may be obtained as cheap as for 75 dollars or so. Do some research within your area and see what you can get. - 20763

An Introduction To Curved Track Lighting

By Stanton Aukerman

Curved track lighting has brought about a new paradigm in home and business lighting decor. Decorators and designers are no longer limited to fixed lighting systems and unaffordable installations. With curved track lighting, a designer can mold their interior lighting in any form they see fit. Gone are the days of working with standard overhead lighting, where the only chance of changing was through exorbitant contractor services. Using a curved track lighting approach, designers can easily redesign the lighting arrangement themselves.

Most curved track lighting functions in a very straightforward and simple to use fashion. When purchasing curved track lighting, the easiest to use types are typically sold as a set of rails. These separate rails can then be connected together with a set of hubs that can rotate.

This makes the lighting extremely simple to design, with the rails simply clicking together and rotating without the need for any extravagant tools or hard work. The rails simply connect and rotate to the desired angle. The setup as a whole connects to a single point fixed to the ceiling. This anchor can also be changed, raising and lowering according to the lighting needs.

This is a lighting system that all designers can work with. The kits themselves are fairly affordable, and definitely cheaper than hiring expensive contractor services. The kits require no complicated installation, and only fix to the ceiling or wall itself at a central point. This simplicity of installation and flexibility allows the decorator to spend more time focusing on their decoration than on installation. Vendors make curved track lighting available in all themes, working with all kinds of designs, from the rustic to the sophisticated.

Designers rely on curved track lighting for the ultimate in flexibility and minimum of hassle. Curved track lighting can give a decorator the ability to create a sophisticated lighting setup without spending too much. The low voltage and slidable light fixtures make curved track lighting the best choice when a sophisticated, yet flexible, solution is required.

There are many curved track lighting manufacturers in the United States, with some of the most recognized names including Bellacor and Lightolier. Interior Lighting Designers is another well known name in track lighting, providing affordable installation services across the country. Curved track lighting is a great solution for designers and decorators. - 20763

African Tropical Destinations

By Matthew Kepnes

A good way to find undeveloped, rugged tropical islands is in Africa. Most are free of lots of package tours, most have great jungles, the water is crystal clear, the fish abundant, and their beaches are made of beautiful white sand. If there were any islands in the world that are picture perfect, the following islands would the places you should see.

Zanzibar is an island that is part of Tanzania. Zanzibar was once a separate state with a long trading history within the Arab world and still enjoys a high degree of autonomy within the union. The capital is Zanzibar City, and its old quarter, Stone Town, is a World Heritage Site. The beaches here are very undeveloped and the area around the island has an amazing amount of fish, as evident by the piles at the fish markets. It is still sometimes referred to as the Spice Islands because of the significance of its production of cloves.

Madagascar is an island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern coast of Africa. The island is the fourth-largest island in the world and is home to 5% of the world's plant and animal species, of which more than 80% are endemic to Madagascar. The eastern side of the island is home to tropical rainforests, while the western and southern sides, which lie in the rain shadow of the central highlands, are home to tropical dry forests, thorn forests, and deserts and xeric shrublands. For those looking for rugged jungle trekking, cool streams, and lovely waterfalls, then Madagascar is a place for you.

Mauritius is an island nation off the coast of the African continent in the southwest Indian Ocean, about 900 kilometers east of Madagascar. Mauritius is part of the Mascarene Islands, with the French island of Reunion to the southwest and the island of Rodrigues to the northeast. This island is home to white sand and palm fringed beaches, warm water, and friendly locals. Its out of the way location makes it a great place to go to get away from the crowds. Interestingly, the island of Mauritius is renowned for having been the only known home of the dodo.

Reunion is off the tourist trail to many of the world's travelers. This diverse location in the middle of the Indian Ocean is simply one of the most intriguing spots in the world. Like Mauritius, this island also part of France. With an active volcano, 17 miles of perfect beaches in the west, and lots of mountains and forests in between, Reunion offers a little bit of everything to every type of island traveler.

Africa may be known for safaris, jungles, desert, and poverty but the continent also offers great tropical islands. With so many great places to visit, consider a trip to the islands in Africa the next time you are planning your tropical vacation. - 20763

What Do You Know About Psychics?

By Brandon

Everyone wants certainty in their life...certainty is perhaps even more important than happiness. Many people, who live uncertain lives, want to know what's going to happen...if they will find true love, if they should change jobs, if they should move to a new town, and so on.

Some of these people consult psychics, whom they believe can see into the future and tell them what they want to know. Psychics are people who have "extra sensory perception," and can see into the future.

There are different varieties of psychic phenomena. A "medium" is, to use the dictionary definition, a "person through whom the spirits of the dead are alleged to be able to contact the living."

A "psychic" is a person "a person who is allegedly sensitive to psychic influences or forces; a medium" although psychics don't necessarily contact the dead... a medium is always a psychic but psychic isn't always a medium.

Some psychics perform their readings by holding something that belongs to the person in question, others read from tarot cards, and so on.

Many prominent people throughout history have believed in the powers of psychics - for example Franklin Delano Roosevelt, while president, consulted a psychic, as did Woodrow Wilson. Perhaps most famously, Nancy Reagan consulted a psychic while her husband was in office.

So if you're going to consult a psychic, you're in good company. Nevertheless, it's always well to "test drive" a psychic as you would any professional whom you were thinking of hiring to do a job for you. Indeed, it would be even more important to "vet" a psychic, since you'll be trusting them to give you advice on your love life and perhaps even your business career.

You can visit a psychic in your home town...or at least one who lives close to you. This would seem to be the best way to go about it, as most psychics practice psychometry - they hold something that belongs to you, and get impressions from it, which they use to give you advice.

There are also plenty of online psychic websites. If you're thinking of consulting a psychic, read through all of these websites, to see the kinds of powers they claim, and perhaps most importantly, to compare their prices, before you commit to one or the other. - 20763

Are Tilia Vacuum Sealers Really Worth The Price?

By Hakeem Awadi

One of the easiest ways to store your food is to have a Tilia vacuum sealer. You can increase the freezer life of your foods significantly when you store them with a vacuum sealer. There are several advantages to using a vacuum sealer food storage system to protect your food.

A vacuum storage bag traps the flavors inside the storage bag which holds the food. The storage bags also protect the food against additional odors which could affect its flavor. The airtight seal which a vacuum sealer forms will make it very unlikely for odors or substances to enter or leave the bag. Not only will this effectively preserve your food, but your home will smell cleaner as a result.

Next, keeping your food in food storage bags allows you to contain foods in any amount you prefer. carefully portioning your food will enable you to thaw and consume only what you require for one meal. Labeling the bags with the volume measurements and the ingredients will help you find exactly what you want to open. Your vacuum sealed bags will make it more convenient for you to fix your favorite recipes, because the main ingredients are now pre-measured. As a consequence, food storage bags also can do away with leftovers and discarded food.

One more advantage to protecting your food with a Tilia vacuum sealer is that you are able to marinate your raw meat in the bags. If you add marinade or flavors to your meat before you seal it in the bag, the vacuum sealing procedure will draw the taste into the meat. Whether you plan to cook the meat within 12 hours or store it for a longer time, the flavor will be the same. Not only shall your meat stay fresh and hold on to its own flavor, but the marinade will work faster and more completely when you use vacuum technology Think about it - you might never again have to baste or turn your meat all day long!

Keeping your edibles in vacuum sealer bags helps you to save space in your cabinets and freezer. Because a vacuum sealed bag is flat and only occupies as much room as the food that it contains, you are not cluttering your cupboards or deep freeze with extra packaging or stale air. Storing more products in less area is always convenient, but storing more products in less refrigerated space can result in spending less money on your electric bills, as well

One last benefit to using vacuum sealer bags is that your food will be not affected by water damage. This is especially relevant if you store your things in a place that is susceptible to flooding. If you have to store food in your garage, you won't have to be concerned that the spring thaw will damage your dry goods. In fact, if your vacuum bags are the right size, you can even keep important legal documents in a vacuum sealed bag for your protection.

Tilia vacuum sealers food storage is a great method for you to preserve your food products. Not only can you lengthen the freshness of your foods, but you can also keep them from contamination and be able to keep their original flavors. The vacuum bags can be used for portion control as well. - 20763

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. - 20763

Things to Consider During Craft Shows

By Sam Weyland

if you decide to sell your crafts for the extra buck, you have to know how to work really hard. It's not always sunshine in a business, even here in the Sunshine State. You'll need to consider plenty of things, and if you don't think it through thoroughly, you'll end up with little to no profit from selling your wares.

What are the factors you need to consider? The next paragraphs will attempt to outline several;

1-Location: There are many fairs and festivals, especially here in Florida, on a yearly basis. But which ones do you go to? Surely you can't attend them all. So, my best advice is to choose a craft show near your area. Check out sites that list these events, and you will surely find them easily.

2-Supply: It would be damn presumptuous of you to go to a craft show with just some of your crafts. if you think highly of your work, then that's more reason for you to expect it to sell like pancakes. It probably won't, but at least you'll be prepared for it, should it happen. Running out of supplies mid-show will make you look woefully inept.

3-Marketing: You'll have to promote your goods, too. Bringing fliers may help, but I advise to start with the booth first. Jazz it up a little. Maybe put a colorful cloth on your table, or a lively banner up on top. Also make sure to arrange your wares properly on the counter. Presentation does a lot when you want to attract customers to your booth.

4-Prepare: Above all, you should be able to prepare. Preparation in this case does not refer to the ones above (though they are equally important); rather, you would be wise to expect the unexpected. Weather will not always be sunny, for example. Bring large plastic sheets to protect your crafts in the event of a downpour. There are other precautions to consider, but only experience can tell you for sure. - 20763

With the global economy suffering, many families that never worried much about discretionary spending are now watching every dollar they spend. Those that have chosen to educate their children at home have found one of the benefits of doing so is the many affordable home school options open to them.

Nest eggs aren't what they used to be with plunging domestic and international markets and minimal savings rates. Affordable homeschool programs are an excellent way for parents to provide a quality education for their children and prepare them for college.

There was a time when colleges would frown on students who had received an affordable home school education, but that time has passed. Students who were taught at home consistently score high on their standardized academic tests.

Home schooling is highly flexible. Both parents are responsible for deciding and establishing the best course of study that they believe will be the most appropriate for their children. An affordable home school program can give each child a different course of study depending on their varied interests.

When you think about it, there are many advantages to the family that chooses an affordable home school program.

Violin Repairs And What To Look Out For

By Ria Yuka

If you own a violin, you know how delicate these instruments are compared to other forms of musical accessories. If they are not well taken care of, violins can suffer potentially bad damage that might need substantial repair. It is therefore of paramount importance that one learns how to avoid this.

There will sometimes be situations whereby the violin gets damaged despite all the best measures. These are often more serious cases and should be left in the hands of qualified repairmen. The less serious problems can actually be fixed on your own.

Since the repair can be performed by the individual, there should still be measures that should be taken to reduce the possibility of more damage during the process. Do not shy away from getting other more experienced friends or teachers to help you with it until you are more familiar with the steps needed.

One of the first problems that any beginner might face with a violin is broken strings. This tends to happen quite regularly due to improper care and usage of the violin, strings and bow. But once it happens, it is a very real problem for any violinist.

Getting the violin re-strung is quite an afterthought for most players of the instrument. But doing it right to prevent future problems requires real technique. It is also not that difficult to do - just make sure not to wound the strings too tightly.

The violin neck can experience warping if the strings are putting too much tension on it. This can result from strings that have been wound too tightly. With a warped neck, a violin cannot be tuned properly which means it is unplayable. You would either need to spend hundreds of dollars putting in a new neck, or buy a new violin.

If your bridge requires a change, it can also be done by yourself. However, if there are concerns about making unwitting mistakes, it is always a good idea to bring it to a qualified professional.

Since the violin is made of wood, any repairs done on it must take that into consideration. If the repair actually ends up leaving marks or worse damage to the wood, it will leave several adverse consequences such as poorer sound. While it might be cost conscious to perform some repairs of your own, do visit trained repairmen for more serious issues. - 20763

Why Does God Allow Suffering?

By Matt Hellstrom

Probably the biggest question for all people, whether they believe in God or not, is why is there so much suffering in this world? This is a question that probably won't ever be answered until we meet God in person. Many people have opinions, and I'd like to give mine here.

I believe I'm like most people. I want to be comfortable, happy and safe. I want to have enough money to pay my bills, to help my kids with college, and to go on a vacation once in a while. I want to be healthy. What's wrong with that? Why wouldn't God want the same things for me? Well, I believe it's because He want much, much more for me!

Dr. Larry Crabb is a best-selling author, counselor and psychologist. He's written many popular books including "Inside Out", "Finding God", and "The Marriage Builder". I've read some of his books and liked them, though the ones I read were really deep and kind of hard to digest.

I read a book by Larry Crabb recently that was quite different from the other's that I've read by him before. This book was called "Shattered Dreams - God's Unexpected Pathway to Joy", and I think it was different because it was something that Dr. Crabb had personally experienced and very intimately touched him. The book was much easier to follow, in my opinion, than the others I had read by him.

The premise of this book is that joy and happiness are two distinctly different things. Most of us believe that the most important thing that we can have is happiness. Plenty of money, a loving spouse and obedient kids, good health, a good job, a nice house, etc. The list could be quite long. But my belief is that this isn't necessarily what God wants for us.

The Bible says that God wants to give good things to his children, even more than we want to give good things to our children. So God obviously wants us to be happy, right? That could be true, and while He does want those things for us, if they get in the way of having relationship with Him then He'll take the relationship every time. That's where we will find true joy.

Sometimes God will let us experience pain and suffering so that we don't become too satisfied with our current lifestyle. He also realizes that we can get very busy trying to maintain that "happy" lifestyle, and that will also limit the joy we will find by having relationship with Him. What happens when we experience this pain? Most of us will do whatever we can to get rid of it.

"Shattered Dreams" encourages us to allow ourselves to feel that pain, to mourn, and to grieve. It is in the midst of these trials, and on the other side of them, that we encounter God, and only then are we able to experience the true joy that He desires. It is not comfortable or fun, but it is ultimately the only true path to joy, and in my opinion, the reason that bad things happen to good people, and why God allows suffering. - 20763

7 Tips to Create the Abundance Mindset

By Stephen Martile

Nowadays people are focused on the lack in their life. This "not enoughness" is at the cause of the lack in peoples lives; the lake of "lack" is a mindset. To develop the abundance mindset you must send the right signals. You see when you hold back with your giving, you're sending signals of lack; the same signals that are preventing you from creating the abundance mindset.

These are seven ways to create the 'more than enough' mindset:

1. Short on Cash? Give it away. Yes, you heard me right. Im not saying you should sell the farm, far from it. But you may consider giving some money to a charity, giving money to a friend who needs cash, or even giving money to a panhandler in the street. If there is one principle that highly aware human beings understand, its this: You give away and share everything you have because you understand that you are a creative being, meaning you can create anything you want.

2. Is there a shortage of time? Some people are always running out of time - like it was cash or some commodity. They don't have enough time and they're always in a panic - there always short on time. Does this sound like someone you know? If it is, then give your time away. Why? Because giving your time away means you have more than enough to give - it signals abundance.

3. Food is short? Give some away. This can be such a simple and pleasant exercise. Remember, givers gain! Give someone some gum, buy someone lunch or prepare dinner for your family. Whatever you do, be willing to give food and food will show up in abundance for you.

4. Dont feel loved? Youve got to give away some before you get some. Give away some hugs. Go out right now and give 5 people you know a big hug. I guarantee right after you do this, youll feel great. Youll feel like a million bucks! Why? Because you feel loved. And you can only feel loved if you give that love to others. Go out right now and start hugging :)

5. Want help with something? Help others first. Think of someone you know that is having a problem. And think of a way that you could help them out. Write down what you plan to do to help this person and then go out and do it. Im telling you this works! Remember, you reap what you sow. When you help others whole-heartedly, help will always come back for you.

6. Lacking self-confidence? This is so good. The fastest way to build your self-confidence is to begin building confidence in others. It seems so illogical, but I guarantee that once you try this you will never look at your life the same. Start by finding someone who needs a boost. Tell them how much you admire and care for them. See them doing great things; see them being confident and confidence will come rushing back to you.

7. Lack of ideas? The lake of lack is always full if you are just willing to fill it. Well, with your own ideas of course. If you give ideas to others, ideas will always come to you. It's a matter of exchange. Give and you will receive. And the more you give the more you will receive.

If you place your attention on lack, then lack is what you'll get. If you focus on giving you'll be actively creating the abundance mindset. - 20763

Child Care Safety For Newborns

By Sakuragicho

As proud parents of a newborn child, there is nothing else in the world that you treasure more than your baby.

If it were possible to keep a watchful eye on your newborn every minute of everyday, surely you would.

Here is some fantastic news you can use.

With the technology of today, you can keep tabs on your newborn at all times with a Baby Monitor.

Baby Monitors are electronic devices that allow you to monitor your baby via audio or video, even when you are not in the room with your child.

There are several versions of monitors to pick from, such as a digital monitor, an analog monitor and a wireless monitor.

As far as pro's and con's between units, it is safe to say that the digital wireless monitors are the best buy.

If you want the latest in features and benefits from a monitor, I would suggest you choose the digital wireless version.

A digital wireless monitor not only keeps you aware of your child's activities, it allows you to move freely throughout your home while doing so.

During the daytime, a monitor will free you up to take care of necessary tasks in your home, like cooking and cleaning, while keeping a watchful eye over your child.

During the evening, you can stay alert to any problems your infant may have while resting.

Digital units tend to operate virtually free from frequency interference that often occurs in analog units.

When speaking of prices, the digital wireless monitor is the highest, with better units starting at around $200, while the cheapest units are the analog versions at about $50.

When it comes to the safety and protection of your child, as well as having the freedom to move about your home while still being able to watch your child, a digital wireless baby monitor is far more superior than the others. - 20763
