Brunswick pool tables have been a status symbol for over a century but are they worth the higher price? Brunswick pool tables range from around $2,000 to as high as $24,000 per table.

Now don't worry; pool tables in that range are for the professionals and billiard enthusiasts. For the average household player that is looking to purchase a pool table for recreational purposes and home decor you can find good quality, cheap pool tables.

In brushing or vacuuming this will help prevent dirt and foreign objects from staying and causing scratches on your cloth. Many times you will receive a thin plastic cover with the order of your pool table. It is highly recommended that if you didn't get one to go out and buy one. It is also recommended that if the cover you have is clear to purchase one where light can't get through.

Anytime that you are not playing pool you should cover your table. This prevents dust, moisture and light from penetrating it which may cause wrinkles or loosen the cloth.
Do not chalk your cue near the table. Every time you chalk some of the chalk falls off the end of the cue and when it gets on the cloth of your table can cause damage. Many times it will leave little spots of deposit that cannot be simply brushed away.

Brunswick tables have been known since 1845 when the J.M. Brunswick Company produced its first billiard table. Over the last 163 years the world has change a lot but the workmanship and quality of a Brunswick has remained the same. This quality is backed by a Brunswick Lifetime Warranty and the best dealer network in the business.

On any Brunswick table their are 12 hidden differences. These difference range from the high performance Nut Plates and Washers to the Hard Wood that is kiln dried, stained and sealed to keep moisture out. All 12 differences provide enhanced play and performance that cannot be found in many other billiard manufacturers. - 20763

Common Mistakes On Managing Renovation Projects

.

By Emily Lim

A home remodeling or renovation project is not as easy as it may sound. Renovating a building is not just all about how it will look or function, but most importantly you have to consider what type of materials are utilized during the renovation, how are you going to deal with your suppliers and contractors, etc. These of course will be covered by the person who will supervise the project. Thus before a renovation project starts, one of the most important decisions to be made is who will manage the project.

You can either employ a professional who will do the work or alternatively, you can manage the project yourself. If you opt to manage the work yourself, make sure that you have enough experience to deal with this. According to Gail La Grouw, the following are some common mistakes done by owners who have decided to take over the role of managing the renovation project themselves,

1. Inadequate Planning

Creating a good plan is a critical part of your role as a project manager. The success of the project largely depend on this. Your plan must include as much detail as possible. You have to regard planning for contingencies as well.

2. Poor Materials Management

Purchasing of the appropriate materials at the right time is a huge job during renovation. Think about this job properly, as it can be the reason of delay to your schedule. You can also incur additional cost if you do not have your materials at the needed time.

3. Poor Record Keeping

File everything especially things that have to do with finances. Record keeping must be completed everyday. You surely will leave out something in your list if you do it in an inconsistent way. Record keeping will also let you know exactly where you are in terms of time and dollars against the plan specification.

4. Not Managing The Work Site

Most subcontractors are trying to reduce cost by disregarding a number of rules and workplace safety items. This is a bad thing of course. Make sure that there is a proper insurance for their area of work.

5. Poor Communication

As home owners are not that knowledgeable with terms being used for renovation, miscommunication can happen along the way. Make sure that when you do not understand things, clarify it, but never loose your confidence in front of your contractors of course.

6. Poor Change Management Control

All changes made during the renovation process must be documented and sign off.

7. Not Keeping Check of the Budget

Keep an eye with your budget, as most projects will overrun the initial estimate, make sure to add some percentage of your budget for your contingency plans. - 20763

Whether you realize it or not, everyone including you has a unique ability for remote viewing. Many individuals already know how to use this ability, while others do not. There are some unique remote viewing secrets that can aid you in developing your various abilities in this lifetime.

When you know how to use your natural remote viewing abilities you should learn how to use a little time each day for meditation. You can make the best of your abilities during meditation. You will need to find a quite space in your home where you can relax, breathe and focus.

To assist you to become a remote viewer, for this first exercise, you need to have someone you are close to sit in a different room. Ask them to make a few hand gestures for you within the next half hour or so. Instruct them to make the same gesture every few minutes or so.

The remote viewing secrets I am sharing with you are very valuable and a true test of your already-existing skill because what you will be doing is focusing on that particular person to guess what gestures they made during the time you were meditating on them. The closer you are to this person, the easier it will be.

While you meditate you will relax and tap into your subconscious mind. You will need to relax and let go. When you experience any unwanted thoughts, simply acknowledge them and then let them go. You can release them with your tension. You may wish to include the sounds of soft music such as soft classical music, acoustic guitar or even the sounds of nature. Anything that helps you get into the mood of meditation.

Continue to breathe and relax, and think about what gestures your friend or family member is making. All you have to do is focus, and trust that it will come to you. Picture what they look like and their possible surroundings. Call them once you are finished and tell them what gestures they made.

While you use these remote viewing secrets, it is vital that you do away with any type of distraction. For instance, put away anything that is noisy or visually distracting. Unplug the telephone, turn off the television and so on. Simply close your eyes and become one with your higher self. Relax in your inner peace.

Oftentimes, people will be unsuccessful if they have a dirty house because there is so much clutter. Do all that you can in order to make your meditating space clean and organized. Decorate with soothing colors, light candles, and/or incense. Whatever it is that causes you to feel at "one" with yourself and your environment will be very essential.

Although, many people may think they can just stop on a dime and begin to meditate this is not always true. You have to get into the habit of tapping into your subconscious mind when your are new to such experiences. The beginning is always hardest. However, in order to develop and reactivate your natural powers use these remote viewing secrets to help you give it your all.

You will not have to try to force anything while using these remote viewing secrets and techniques. While following these methods you are able to open the door to your subconscious mind and then incorporate what you learn into your everyday life. - 20763

Understanding The Differences Between CFL Canadian Football And The NFL

.
0 comments

By Ross Everett

While football in the United States is associated with crisp autumn days and cool nights, in Canada professional football begins in the summer time. While NFL training camps won't open until mid-summer by then the Canadian Football League (CFL) will be well into their regular season schedule.

Most Americans don't realize that the CFL has a lengthy and storied history. The league itself has been around since'30, and the Canadian Football championship--known as the Grey Cup--has been contended since'09. More recently, American fans are aware that a number of NFL stars got their start in the CFL including Doug Flutie, Jim Kelly, and Jeff Garcia.

The CFL is a very professional and highly competitive league, but its important to understand some important differences between it and the NFL:

First of all, the football itself is bigger--the CFL ball is larger than its American counterpart. If you know anything about rugby, its roughly the same as a #3 rugby ball meaning it is somewhat longer and fatter than the NFL ball. The CFL field is also longer (110 yards) and wider (65 yards vs. the NFLs 53.5 yards), and the CFL end zones are 20 yards deep as opposed to 10 yards in the NFL. The CFL goal posts are on the goal line, while the NFLs are on the end line at the back of the endzone.

CFL teams are allowed an extra offensive player (a wide receiver), and on defense they're allowed an extra defensive back. This means that 12 players can be on the field at one time as opposed to 11 in the NFL. CFL football also differs in that teams only have three downs to gain ten yards, as opposed to four in US football. The phrase "two and out" is as commonplace in CFL football as is "three and out" in the US game.

There are also differences in the scoring of the game. The first time I saw a CFL score tied 1-1 at the end of the first quarter I thought I was hallucinating. A major rule difference between the CFL and NFL is the fact that teams can score a single point, which those clever Canadians call a single. Basically, a team is awarded a single point for a missed field goal or a punt that lands in the end zone.

The rule differences don't end there--CFL teams are required to maintain a certain percentage of Canadian born players on their roster. The idea is that this will protect the unique identity of the game, as well as prevent it from becoming little more than a farm system for the NFL. Currently' of the 40 players on a CFL roster must be Canadian natives.

Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding is that the average NFL fan looks at the rules of the Canadian game with more players, a wider field, and fewer downs and concludes that the game is a wide open shootout similar to Arena Football. Thats not really the case--you'll see some offensive battles but most games end up with final score totals in the mid to high 40s. In Arena Football, youll frequently see teams with potent offenses enforcing their will over and over again against teams with porous defenses. You don't see that too often in the CFL. The rules may be different, but as is the case in American pro football you need a solid rushing game and a stout defense to win games and championships.

There's also more parity in the CFL than even the NFL, which is famous for the competitive equality of their teams. The reason is fairly simple--football at the high school and college level in Canada simply isn't as competitive as in the US. That means the mandated ratio of native players also serves to facilitate parity within the CFL.

The CFL isn't in a financial position to draw the top level US players away from the NFL or, in most cases, even a NFL practice or developmental squad. While some US players are uniquely suited to the CFL style of play, most of the US players that end up there are of a similar talent level as to that seen in Arena Football.

Despite the differences between the CFL and American football, at the end of the day its still high level, professional football. Once you understand the unique aspects of the CFL, it'll become second nature much as NFL viewers quickly assimilate rule changes there.

In the pre-Internet era, it was often difficult for US fans to find information on the CFL. They don't get coverage on ESPN, but they receive extensive attention in the Canadian press. Each CFL city has their own sports media, and the official CFL website also has many resources including previews and statistics. - 20763

Can American Bikers Unite To Protect Themselves Before It Is Too Late?

.
0 comments

By L.J. James

There is a new law in Virginia that will ban Motorcycle Club Colors in Bars. The law, originally aimed at Street Gangs, is causing quite a stir with Virginia Bikers. The law states that Bar & Restaurant owners will lose their liquor license if they allow patrons who wear "gang" related attire such as Club Logo's or Colored Bandannas.

These sort of "grey area" laws are extremely dangerous and a threat to everyone's freedom. Who decides what constitutes "Gang Apparel"? I'm wondering if Boy Scouts are going to be able to eat together at Applebees if they are in their uniforms.

According to news reports, many Bikers and Motorcycle Club Members in Virginia have already begun fighting this law. If a law like this is allowed to stand in Virginia, it won't be long until it is passed in other states across America!

We as Motorcyclists and Bikers (It does not matter what you call yourself) have to realize fast that we are all connected. It doesn't matter what you ride, what State you live in or who you Support, we're all in this together. What effects Me effects you and it doesn't matter what you happen to think of me.

When the local Bar you and your Brothers love hanging out at is told that you and all other members of Motorcycle Clubs can no longer go there or they will revoke the Bars liquor license, What then?

This is no Joke my Biker Brothers, every month there is another new law that is aimed not only Motorcycle Club Members, but all Americans. It seems that every time the Government wants to take away a freedom, they find a way to craft a new law for our "safety". What kind of Country is this turning into when you can't wear what you want and suddenly, your constitutional right to assemble is taken away from you?

Although there are many ignorant people out there that believe Motorcycle Clubs are Gangs, that's simply not the case. Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of hard working, honest, law abiding, patriotic, American Citizens who enjoy a common bond, Motorcycles. It's what is in a persons heart that determines who they are, not the clothes they wear.

In the past year the government has taken away the Colors of one Motorcycle Club. A law enforcement officer can demand anyone sporting the Clubs logo to forfeit it. The theory is that the loss of the logo strips the club of its "gang identity."

Grant it, it appears that some of the Clubs members may have been involved in illegal activities, but that doesn't mean that everyone who rides a Motorcycle should be punished for it. In fact, less than 10% of this 600 Member Club was even accused of wrong doing.

In addition, the Government and law enforcement agencies have been spending millions of our dollars to influence friends and ex-members of Motorcycle Clubs in an effort to infiltrate these clubs in hopes of catching members doing something illegal. Often, when they find that the Club they've infiltrated is nothing more than a group of Patriotic, Law Abiding Men & Women, they'll fabric wrong doing so that they can justify the enormous amount of resources spent on these Fishing Expeditions.

Just imagine how much better off we'd all be if they used those resources to investigate the Corrupt Politicians, the Corporations that control our Country, Wall Street, and the other issues that are quickly sinking this great Nation.

What I want to know is, what will be the last straw? What's it going to take for us to say enough is enough? We can not fight these Laws and Fight each other at the same time! We need to work together to save what we are, who we are.

The Government has taken away our rights to ride the Motorcycle we want, to wear what we want and now to go where we want! Why are we still fighting each other? When are we going to wake up??

Manifest A New Life Using The Cosmic Ordering Service

.
0 comments

By Gina Daad

Thanks to a recent spike in publicity, the last few years have seen an ever growing number of people showing an interest in the cosmic ordering service. Additionally, many are now realizing the potential benefits.

With many celebrity endorsements, now it seems everyone wants a piece of the action. But does it only work for celebrities? What chance does the average person have of successfully using the cosmic ordering service?

In essence, if you really believe something will happen, it usually does. When you start doubting this, you are actually jeopardizing your own chances of success without even realizing it. So yes, in theory, cosmic ordering should in fact work for everyone.

Everyone has the right and the opportunity to use the cosmic ordering service. The system brings whatever you desire. Some may say, I didn't desire to be ill, to be penniless or unhappy and they are right.

The problem is that they believed it would happen. The Universe doesn't understand negatives. If you say you don't want to be poor, it doesn't hear the word don't, it just hears the words want and poor. You focus on the poverty in this case.

You should aim to seek desires from a more positive aspect so, instead of what you don't want, rather desire what you do want. For example, you could say, I'm so healthy it's of little wonder that I never get ill.

One of the most fundamental mistakes people make at this stage, is to portray or project themselves as they currently are, rather than as they could be. By falling into this trap, you are simply reinforcing your current standing rather than a successful future standing.

Life brings to us the belief systems of others. The kids in the third grade that teased you because you were fat, skinny, had glasses or didn't wear the best clothes changed the belief that you have for yourself.

In a perfect world, a child would grow up with support and knowledge that they deserve all that they want. Instead, children are taught that it's wrong to want a lot. It's bad to receive whatever you want unless you work hard and long hours, and then you also have to have a special reason that you deserve the reward.

Of course, it would be wrong to think you can simply take from others, but on the other hand, it is absolutely correct to believe you can have anything you want. After all, there is enough to go around.

If you believe there's not enough for you, beware, because this in itself is channelling negative desire. Don't desire what another has, as this could be interpreted as meaning you don't have enough, another negative channel. Instead, be happy for those who have plenty and simply remind yourself, there is enough for everyone.

The human brain can move a quark, the smallest particle we know of, simply by sending out waves of energy. This is not theory, but rather a fact which has been proven by modern science. Positive thinking releases positive energy and positive energy, gets positive results.

Changing the way we think and the way in which we have been schooled to believe, is by no means easy but it can be done. Admittedly, in order to tackle this immense task, you'll need all the tools you can find.

There are numerous tools but two which always spring to mind, are self-hypnosis and subliminal suggestion. Both these powerful tools avoid interference from the logical processes of our brain and instead, they go to work on our subconscious minds, the area in which our beliefs are embedded.

You can control your future but you need to believe it beyond all doubt. With the help of some of these tools, you'll be able to clear away those blockages and order anything you desire, from the cosmic ordering service. - 20763

The Essential Tools of Chakra Balancing Therapy

.
0 comments

By Anne-Marie Laureaut

Hindu teachings tell us that the chakras are the important energy centers which are present in every human being. Our chakras are the places at which energy flows through our body. The proper flow of this energy is vital to maintaining our physical, mental and emotional health. You can't actually see your chakras, but you can see their physical manifestation; major components of our endocrine systems.

Chakras are responsible for regulating the energy that flow into and from our body. This continuous interplay of energy within our body, the environment and objects we come in contact with ultimately requires that our chakras remain in balance in order to be able to function as best as possible for our benefit.

Our seven primary chakras each correspond to a particular part of our endocrine system. Everything we experience is intimately related to our chakras.

Physical, emotional and mental stress can cause imbalance in the function of our chakras and when this occurs we feel lethargic or show signs of physical illnesses. This illness is a manifestation that there is something not right about how our chakra functions.

For our body to reap the benefits of a well-tuned chakric system, they need to be functioning in harmony with one another. Chakra balance is essential to maintain its beneficial function to the human body and to achieve this, regular chakra balancing is necessary much like a car's preventive maintenance procedures.

Importance of Chakra Balancing: Many methodologies exist in balancing our chakras and others are continually being explored and developed as the attainment of a perfectly balanced chakra system is the ultimate goal of people who want to enjoy a more fruitful, productive and healthy lifestyle.

This all begins with an understanding that each chakra resonates to a different frequency; these frequencies are naturally occurring and help the chakras to perform their important function of transmitting and receiving energy; also known as prana or chi.

When we are experiencing physical illness, our chakras are not non-functioning, but are out of balance with each other. The resulting imbalance in energy flow can create all manner of problems, including exacerbating our state of ill health. Other factors which can cause a imbalance in our chakras are stress, poor diet and lack of exercise.

Everyone experiences an imbalance in their chakras from time to time; but this can fortunately be restored by chakra balancing.

Tools of Chakra Balancing: The methods which are most commonly employed to restore chakra balance are crystals and gems, light, sound, color and aromatherapy.

Colors: Commonly used colors and their corresponding chakras are red (the root chakra), orange (the sacral chakra), yellow (the solar plexus chakra), green and turquoise (the heart chakra), blue (the throat chakra), violet (the crown chakra) and white for any of the seven primary chakras.

Crystals and Gems: Going back thousands of years, the laying of crystals, gems and stones on the body where the chakra points are is another method of regaining balance of the chakra system. Considering that each chakra resonates to a particular color it follows that by laying a stone of the same color to which the chakra resonates on the area of the chakra, they will also be able to achieve the necessary balance for the physical body to be able to heal.

Gems and crystals reflect light in their colors; the play of light through these gems can restore balance to the chakras by putting this light into the body at the appropriate points.

Light: Light therapy employs light not only on the eyes, but also on the reflex points and the meridian points of acupuncture to restore chakra balance. The broad spectrum of light is very beneficial here, including both visible and invisible frequencies, including those corresponding to the chakras.

Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy is the use of scented candles, fragrant massage oils and bath soaps in order to capitalize on the healing properties and physiological effects of the chemical ingredients of plants? essential oils that make up the base product. Essential oils are able to clean, set free and restore an individual's stability of thoughts and emotions because they can affect a person's mental, emotion and spiritual aspects. Aromatherapy is generally employed to relieve stress, promote physical and mental relaxation, combat fatigue and depression and as an aid to meditation.

Sound: Sound therapy utilizes music, tuning forks, quartz, Tibetan singing bowls and other sound creating objects to create a state of well being and to generate frequencies which are resonant with the chakras. Sound has a natural soothing and therapeutic effect due to its direct appeal to the emotions. A beautiful sound can create a state of serenity, while a harsh, discordant on will produce anxiety. Sound can in fact bring about faster healing and a higher state of consciousness.

It once was that chakra balancing was a lengthy and difficult process. Now, thanks to innovations in audio technology such as subliminal sound, binaural frequencies and self-hypnosis recordings, chakra balancing is a much simpler thing than it was even a few decades ago. - 20763

Before casting accusations to your spouse, you have to make sure that you have a strong grounds. As we all know, one of the core foundation of relationships is trust. Once trust is taken away, no matter how strong you have started with your relationship, it cannot endure time. Thus when it comes to this matter couples need to be very extra careful.

If you really want to check out if your spouse is cheating on you, the most important step you can do is to check yourself first. According to Ruth Houston, founder of InfidelityAdvice.com and the author of "Is He Cheating on You?- 829 Telltale Signs." There are certain points you can look at to test if you are capable of judging if your spouse is really cheating on you. If you are the type of person who has the following personality your suspicions may turn out to be groundless:

* You are suspicious by nature * You have a natural distrust of the opposite sex * You have issues with jealousy * You are emotionally insecure * You suffer from low-self esteem * You are disturbed * You have an too active imagination

According to Houston if any of the statements above apply to you, it is unlikely for you to remain objective enough and properly assess the hints you find. For instances like this, it is advisable to hire a private investigator to lookout on your mate and collect as many facts as he can.

This would provide your child with practical immersion. It's a well known fact that children best learn new languages when they immersed in it. They can listen to the content when walking to school, in the car or playing video games.

2. Learning is easy as it is fun! There are games that can be played that the kids really get pleasure from! They can match the French words to the image.

3. Some online French courses contain modules that comprise the 4 key educational elements of reading, writing, speaking and listening. This is where school goes amiss for the reason that they leave out the latter two elements.

When all four elements are used, kids learn much more easy as they feel more engaged. In addition what they do learn is less readily forgotten since a superior area of the brain is used when you speaking and listening as well as just reading and writing.

4. Children can get practical knowledge online that they do not tend to get at school. This tends to be by use of a forum.

Your kid can make friends with other children their own age and level. They could open chat windows and if you have a head set, they can speak with them verbally...in French of course! This offers the combination of immersion and practical experience with the important speaking and listening as well as the reading and writing key elements.

5. A one off purchase of an online French for children course will give limitless opportunity for your children to learn French. When you hire a private tutor for example you'll be looking to pay around $40 per hour for their services. A good online course will set you back around $100. That is a no brainer! - 20763

How To Be Successful With Your Cosmic Order

.

By Carole Stracken

Recently Cosmic Ordering has gained a lot of attention. It appears that multitude of individuals want to place their cosmic order, however does it work?

Almost everyone has heard of the secret and the law of attraction. However, you can obtain your desire, because cosmic ordering is much more detailed.

If you could have the desires of your heart, what would you order into your life today? Is it your wish to be in perfect health, is it wealth and material items you wish or do you want a perfect mate? All of these things are free for the taking by asking for them when you employ the cosmic order system.

It really does seem to work, according to the multitudes of individuals the world over who swear by it as well as a large number of celebrity endorsements. Nevertheless, what really happens when you place your cosmic order? Moreover, why does it not work for everyone?

The process is simple and yet many fail to reap the rewards that they want. There are several reasons for this. One is that they still have the old belief system that there is not enough to go around for everyone.

There is abundance everywhere and yet some never find it no matter how hard they search. They believe that anothers success takes away from them because theres only a limited supply. They become envious and angry with others that seem to have it all.

The rewards they desire are then blocked by this belief. It sends a message to their brain once more that there is never enough for them to have any. This brain energy then signals the Universe, which in turn fulfils their prophecy.

Secondly, the majority are not successful, since they hold the belief that there is never enough for everyone, although they may become excited for others, they do not allow themselves to believe that it will happen for them. For instance, upon purchasing a lottery ticket, you may hear them say I never win anything. Then they are not disappointed, since they believe by acknowledging the lack that an outside force will take pity on them and fulfill their desires.

It does not work like that. You can place your cosmic order accompanied by a simple phrase to determine your destiny.

Lastly, the desires of many are not achieved, because they hold no true belief for having what they desire. Their desire becomes blocked by this negative energy. It is their belief of their uniqueness and desire as well as their ability to obtain their desires that holds no universal value and then their experience of possibility when making a cosmic order is seized.

When you find that, you are lacking in your beliefs you must do some serious reprogramming. You must begin to acknowledge that you are special and essential as an individual, while removing your old system of beliefs. Remember, we are all equal and none is better than the other is.

A divine right to happiness, wealth and health, belongs to all earthly creatures. However, you must release the past and believe that you do deserve your desires.

You can use cosmic ordering easily when you have the right tools. Scientific studies shows prove that the concept works. The commonsensical ideal behind the secret has eluded humans for centuries, however some of it has been revealed by quantum physics.

You can ensure that cosmic order is successful for drawing your desires to you. Essentially, you should remain positive. Making positive affirmations, self-hypnosis and meditation are helpful.

There have also recently been developments in sound technology which allow you to simply listen to special sound frequencies known as binaural tones and your brainwaves instantly change to the state required for you to communicate with the universe. The technology allows you to clear out the old faster so you see the results at a more rapid pace.

At one time, only true believers of a religious sect or mystics were those who used the cosmic order system. However, today, everyone can take advantage of all these possibilities. You can achieve your desires while uniting science and the wisdom of the ancients. - 20763

By Samuel Evans

There would be hardly any house on this earth which is free of pests, in spite of the major efforts every one of us puts in eradicating them from our lives. You might need to reconsider your strategy for eliminating pests from your house, if all your attempts have gone in vain sp far.

Generally, the techniques of pest control involve implementation of preventive, suppressive and extermination measures to create a pest free home. Here are a few tips as to how you can eradicate pests from your house successfully.

The first step in pest control is to know the type of pests present in your home. This is important because different kinds of pests need different treatments and you have to select the most effective way of pest elimination.

You must also have knowledge of the level of damage done by these pests or at least their degree of infestation in your house. This will help you decide whether you can tackle this problem on your own or if you need the services of an expert pest control firm, which can offer solutions that are more potent in eradicating pests.

Then you must try to identify the method that is most appropriate for eliminating the pests you are dealing with. For doing this, you have an option of either reading a book on the problem or carrying out an online search. Common remedies include applying chemical pesticides by spraying or use of home- based repellents to drive the pests out of your house.

Finally, it is important to ensure that once you have eliminated all the pests, you take foolproof measures to prevent a recurrence of the problem. For this, you should take care of the tidiness and hygiene of your home without fail. Simple tasks like periodically throwing out the trash and sealing your exits and entrances with sprays will successfully ensure that pests do not enter your home again. - 20763

What Can You Do To Recall Your Past Lives?

.
0 comments

By Georgia Kirsten

Do you know there are many more individuals who do believe in reincarnation than there are that do not? For some it is a way of life as in the instance of Buddhists and Hindus, as part of their religious beliefs. While many may be merely curious or looking to explore answers to some of the mysteries of life, many others may consider that it just makes the most sense when considering past lives. There are an assortment of ways to find out more about your past lives.

Keep a Journal

One of the best ways to learn about your past lives is to begin a journal. You should write down the things you experience, even those experiences that may seem insignificant. While including the way you feel about any event, since our emotions are the strongest clues we have, that may relate to a past life. Journaling your experiences creates a written record that can aid you in piecing your clues together when using it later as a reference.

You will find clues in your present life and you should record them as well. These may include issues such as foods, climates, cultures and historical occurrences as well as things from your childhood and what you think about such things as architectural designs. You may want to include all those instances of experiencing dj vu as well as your natural gifts and talents or personality characteristics, innate fears and phobias as well as any distinguishing birthmarks and scars or occupations you feel drawn too.

Write about your dreams. Sometimes past lives come through very clearly when we dream. At other times we get little hints. Past and present and combine in a dream and give us symbols that may have meaning for you in both the past and the present. Before you fall asleep, give yourself the suggestion that you want to learn about your past lives. Write down anything and everything you can remember.

Past Life Regression Therapy

Professional past life regression therapists can be most helpful, since they are able to guide you through a regression and then aid you with the interpretation of the information you receive. You will find there are a few places for training and certifying these types of therapist, for instance the International Association of Past Life Therapists and the International Association for Regression and Research and Therapies both train and certify professional therapists. You may be able to find such a therapist in your area.

Meditation

There are many methods of meditation that can help you explore your past lives. While meditating on your own is a private way to find out about your past, some people may have trouble trusting the information that comes in, but you should try and trust your feelings.

While meditating may feel like a daydream, and images are flowing in and out, there may be some valuable information coming through. Write it all down and ponder it later. Likewise, if you tell yourself that you won't be able to do it or you won't get anything, you won't. Your mind is very suggestible, and it will retrieve what you tell it to.

Some people meditate better using a visual stimulus, like a candle flame, while others find it easier to meditate with sound. This can be a recorded guided meditation session you get from a therapist or a certain piece of music or just sounds, like the "om" sound or Tibetan bells.

Binaural beats is an interesting type of audio technology processing that offers some recent interesting advances. You can relax instantly and reach a state of meditation, that is generally reached by experienced Zen monks, when listening to the various frequencies that play in each ear, when using binaural beats.

However, no matter which technique you may find useful for meditation purposes, you should always be in an area that offers no disturbances and that is peaceful.

Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Make sure you are in a positive, receptive frame of mind. Focus on relaxing your muscles and then quiet your mind. If unwanted concerns float in, quickly acknowledge them and let them go. This can take some practice. Focus on your heart and don't expect anything but relaxation. If you have a question to ask, ask it and let it go. The answer will most likely come when you least expect it.

The images that come to you are helpful for resolving some issue in your present life, whether you believe in reincarnation or not. Although, it may not always be possible to prove that the images you receive come from a previous lifetime, many individuals do receive enough information to begin researching and verifying the events, areas or names they do receive.

Some people find out that the people they love now were with them in another lifetime, although their relationship with that person may have been different. For example your father may have been your brother or even your husband in one of your past lives.

Whatever you may believe about reincarnation and past lives, most people who do try regression find what they receive to be helpful and interesting, no matter what their initial belief. - 20763

Added Benefits Of Having A Wooden Shed

.
0 comments

By Terry Shaw

So you can't seem to part from all those precious tools you hardly use anymore. And, you can store them in your wooden shed out back, but your shed could be used for SO MUCH MORE than just an area to store tools. There are several different purposes for sheds and all it takes is a little modification.

Probably the most popular reason for having a shed is for the garden. Gardens tend to be a natural location for sheds and being right in or just next to the garden sure makes it a convenient place to store your garden tools. And, with a proper workbench, potting all your plants is a breeze. Many of today's garden sheds have the charm and character of much older styles of sheds that connects us to man's simpler days.

Sheds also serve other purposes as well. Locate your shed next to a pool and it serves the purpose of a pool cabana. These are particularly handy for storing pool chemicals that should be stored away from the main house anyway. Some cabanas are stocked with towels, pool toys and with snacks stored in a refrigerator. This helps to keep the kids from running into the house all wet.

Sheds are perfect for artists' studios and for kids playhouses because of their size. And, with the addition of a few pieces of furniture and other accessories, a wooden shed makes a great little sanctuary.

There are a few alternatives for the kind of material you can build with if you are considering building your own shed. I recommend building your shed from wood simply for aesthetic reasons, if nothing else. Especially if your shed will be in a highly visible area.

Other options include plastic (or vinyl) and metal (usually rolled aluminum). Plastic is virtually maintenance free and is going to be your least expensive option. While metal is durable, it can get really hot inside - especially in warmer climate zones.

Now, if you have decided upon a wooden shed, you need to figure out if you are going to build it yourself or hire someone else to build it. If you are fairly handy with tools (please be honest with yourself), then there are a LOT of shed kits out there for you to choose from. Wooden shed kits are much easier and faster to build than making one from scratch.

Everything will start to fall into place if you can step back from your project before you begin and make an honest evaluation of what its purpose will be. - 20763

Steps To Insulate A New Metal Roof

.
0 comments

By Scott Rodgers

In the present roofing scenario, the asphalt shingles and the metal roofs occupy a major share of the market. The homeowners and the roofers prefer such roofs due to their reliability, durability and value for money. Though the metal roofs are available at a higher price than the standard shingles but they offer lower maintenance cost than their counterparts. As compared to the other roofing materials, the metal roofing materials call for lesser maintenance or repair work. The high longevity of the metal roofs makes them an automatic choice over the other available options.

Metal roofs are made up of copper, steel or aluminum panels. The combination of such stringent elements renders a protective shield to the roofs of residential households. The stiff layer of metal prevents the home from the fury of external agents such as air, water and sunlight.

Observe the strength of your roofing tool kit and evaluate the tools that are not available. Buy the required tools and supplies from a local home improvement store.

The new metal roof must be properly insulated to ensure the water-proofing ability of the roof. You would need a foundation of about 2-3 layers for the metal panels. The first layer comprises of plywood sheets or oriented-strand board (OSB). These sheets render a stiff base to the further proceedings.

The insulation of the roof is rendered by the placement of building paper. The building paper protects the roof from the water and hence, prevents the common roof problems of leakages and seepages. Overlap each preceding sheet of building paper by at least 6 inches. Use a staple gun or roofing nails to attach the individual sheets to the underlying roof layer of plywood.

Next, make way for the sheets of foam insulation and install them in such a way that they are attached together. The overlapping pattern should be avoided as such a setting may lead to heat dissipation. Follow it up by covering the seams with duct tape. Duct tape would further enhance the water-proofing ability of the new metal roof.

Install the metal roofing panels over the setting of insulation.

Check the setting to locate any voids or openings. Properly cover those openings such that the water leaks are not allowed to occur. - 20763

Puppies Online

By James Pynn

Recently, I watched six inches of rain bombard my ramshackle home in New England. As the backyard flooded and the basement filled up, I couldn't help but think about buying a pet. It's the loneliness of a gray day, constant rain, and unfriendly Yankee types that started me down this path to pet ownership. You can only take so many Welcome Back, Kotter days before you wonder if a move to the bleak wastes surrounding Boston was the best decision you could have made.

I grew up in a house with a German Shepard. Now, as much as I'd like to recapture my childhood with a magnificent Shepard, I have to face the fact that I am a renter -- and will be for the foreseeable future. This means no "dangerous breeds" and no dogs over 25 pounds. This is a stiff kick in the neck, especially if you've been pining for a pet t keep you company.

Instead of subjecting myself to the torture of going to look at puppies in person at the local Petco or animal shelter, I decided to look online. Now, I know what you're thinking, and yes, you're right. It's not the best way to shop, but it gives me some emotional distance on a possible pet. Because, in the end, though I'm hungry for some companionship, I'm also very ambivalent.

I typed puppies for sale into Google and lo and behold, bingo! I found thousands of sites dedicated to the same emotionally cagey user experience. Now, I could browse through the classifieds and see which breeds would be ideal for my ever-increasing isolation. It would seem I'm not alone in my need for some distance.

In under an hour I arranged to pick up a Shih Tzu puppy for $100. Pedigree, papers, and a supply of food for less than the cost of my heating bill! What a world. Of course, two weeks into life with Florence (my Shih Tzu) has made be reconsider the efficacy of my decisions, I have to say getting him was the best part. - 20763

Top Ten Sitcoms of All Time

.
0 comments

By Wayne Torres

10. Three's Company. Premiered in the 1970s when the show's content was considered shocking. A guy who lived with two girls was taboo. Very much taboo.

10. The Dick Van Dyke Show. A downright hilarious show which has since then become a classic and a measuring stick for all comedians. Even as we approach an entirely new era in comedy, this show is still comparable.

Arrested Development. This show, which revolved around the lives of the Bluth family, was created by none other than Ron Howard. Very funny with absolutely hilarious characters. However, this show only enjoyed a short run on the air.

7. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. A very funny show which gives off the same vibe as Seinfeld but with a more adult theme added to it. You will love the characters.

Six. I Love Lucy. Possibly the most popular sitcom of all time. Since first airing in 1951, the reruns of this show have been non-stop.

Curb Your Enthusiasm. If profane language offends you, do not watch this show. Otherwise, very entertaining sitcom from the creator of Seinfeld. Talk about successful.

The Simpsons. If you haven't seen an episode of The Simpsons any time in the past 20 years, than you must be living under a rock. The Simpson family has delivered more laughs than the entire Just For Laughs festival.

Three. All In The Family. Not slap stick, laughing and rolling out of your chair funny, but funny just the same and incredibly ground breaking.

2. Seinfeld. The funniest sitcom of all time? Many believe so even down to the very last episode.

One. The Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason once said that they were four people on one small set that managed to be funny and entertaining without profanity or any sort of sexual innuendo. Most of the episodes took place in the Kramden's kitchen with only the four primary actors. And it was funny. - 20763

Lost Luggage - Can You Reduce That Risk On A Vacation Flight?

.
0 comments

By Dorothy Yamich

Whether you take air flights for business, or holidays and vacations, you have probably lost luggage or know of a person that has. Here are some travel tips that may help you prevent this happening.

It is estimated that more than a million bags are lost by commercial airlines each year in the United States alone. How much luggage that get lost in the whole world is anybody's guess. Here are some tips that may help you recover your bags if they are ever lost.

Attach a couple of tags with your name, home address, and phone number to the handle and zipper-pulls of every bag that you are checking. There's less of a chance that every tag could get torn off when in transit. Make sure that you've taken off any old airline tags that are still on your luggage as they could confuse the baggage handlers.

Also, be sure to place the same contact information, including a copy of your itinerary and destination address inside all of your bags. That way, if they do go astray and are found in time, it is possible that they could be forwarded to your hotel.

Pick luggage with a bright or odd color that will stand out among the numerous black and brown bags. Know the brand name of the luggage that you have and attach a colorful ribbon or scarf to the handle to make identification easier. Stick some decals or a contrasting colored tape to every side of the bags so they are easier to spot as the carousel goes around. Try to remember these details, or better still, take a photo of your luggage just before you go and bring it with you. This can help the lost luggage staff at the airport in locating your bags if they are lost in transit and show up at their office. It will also help when you have to make a claim.

It can help if you make a list of what you have in your luggage and carry that list in you carry-on bag. The chance of your checked luggage getting lost in transit increases when you have delayed, or connecting flights. Pack your valuables, including your laptop or Blackberry, travel documents, prescriptions, etc., in your carry-on luggage. It's best to pack only the things you can afford to lose in your checked baggage. Analysts believe the airline industry's problem of lost luggage is not going to go away anytime soon.

What can you do your luggage gets lost?

Go right away to the baggage claim office and file a claim. Many airlines have a twenty-four hour window of time that starts from when your flight arrives to file and be eligible for compensation. You will get a claim receipt to check the tracking of your luggage with your airline by phone, or on the airline's website. Make sure you keep your flight documents until the lost luggage mix up has been resolved.

How can you guarantee that the airlines won't lose your luggage?

There are a number of companies that will send your luggage in the U.S., such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL, directly to your hotel or destination address for a reasonable cost. If you are staying in a hotel, your luggage will be brought to your room. When you consider that in the U.S. alone, well over a million bags are lost by the airlines every year, this service may be well worth considering. If you are traveling by air through Europe, FirstLuggage.com, has a similar service. - 20763

Japan MMA Flashback: Aoki Dominates JZC At DREAM 2

.
0 comments

By Ross Everett

After a controversial no contest in their first matchup, there was no doubt as to the winner of the DREAM 2 rematch between Shina Aoki and JZ Calvan. Aoki controlled the fight from the opening bell and used a wide repertoire of submission attempts to keep his opponent off balance and on the defensive. Perhaps the most impressive element of the one sided victory was Aokis dominance of the ground game, which many observers considered to be JZs edge in the contest.

Aoki scored early with a takedown and controlled Calvan on the ground, working a heel lock attempt before taking his opponents back and attempting a rear naked choke. In the second, Aoki put on a submission clinic and demonstrated his ungodly flexibility as he spun from an armbar to a triangle choke and back again. Calvan was able to counter or escape, but looked completely out of sync as he generated almost no offense whatsoever.

Aoki was very emotional in his postfight speech to the crowd. JZC had grumbled about the no-contest in their DREAM 1 matchup, and the one sided decision made him even more dejected in his postfight press interviews.

With the victory Aoki advances to the semifinals of the lightweight GP tournament. Thats the plan at least, as Aoki made some statements in the Japanese press leading up to the fight that win or lose there would be no way hed be ready for the next round with only half the preparation time as the rest of the field.

The rest of the card was devoted to the opening round of the middleweight GP tournament. Taiei Kin defeated Minowa-man Ikuhisa Minowa in a very closely contested and entertaining fight. Despite Kin taking a 3-0 unanimous decision (DREAM judges, like their PRIDE predecessors, judge the fight in its entirety) the first round could have gone either way. Minowa was clearly tired in the 2nd, and that likely sealed the deal for Kin.

Korean judoka Yoon Dong-Sik also advanced with a unanimous decision victory over Shungo Oyama. Two one sided contests followed, with Zeleg Galesic submitting Magomed Sultanakhmadov via arm bar in a minute and a half of the first round. That was followed by the MMA debut of former Pac 10 wrestling standout Ian Murphy, was dominated by BJJ specialist Ronaldo Jacare - 20763

Secrets Of Telepathic Humans

By Jason D Stevens

When we say an individual is 'telepathic' what is it that we really mean by this? The idea is usually considered science fiction or mysticism and is just dismissed by most people. But think of what science has made possible. Everyday we live with cell phones, computers and use of invisible radio and micro waves which retrieve the information we need. Hundreds of jets (controlled by computers) take off and land everyday world wide.

Is has been said that a sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. The human race has used science and technology to learn things about the natural world we never knew. We've done things that were considered impossible flights of fancy just a hundred years ago. We've had men walk on the bottoms of the oceans and on the surface of the moon (and we did it with technology that, by today's standards, seems primitive). We can gather energy from the sun, the wind, and the water. And anyone can have a small device in their pocket that allows them to talk to anyone anywhere in the world. But this isn't magic, its science right?

Is it then really too much of a stretch to accept the possibility of telepathic people? An individual who developed these mental properties would just be misunderstood by most people.

Parapsychology or paraphysic is the scientific investigations of telepathic individuals. Scientist who investigate and experiment get answers to their questions on telepathy. Even if the answer they do get are not quite what they are looking for.

Telepathic individuals and who are subjects of these experiments, produced results completely tantalizing and less than desired to be proven scientifically. To do this you must have results that are consistent, measurable and repeatable. However, scientific investigation is not perfect. Although the results have been inconsistent and not always able to be duplicated does not in itself prove that individuals are not Telepathic. It only really proves we have lots to learn and a need for more advanced procedures to be developed for testing for telepathy.

But how could humans really be Telepathic? How can people communicate without the use of their five senses, using only thought alone? The obvious answer is through some means that we can't hear, see, smell, taste, or touch, but that exists nonetheless. On the one hand, humans can already do this artificially using communication technology. Radio waves can't be observed with our five senses, but they definitely exist.

Some people talk about the concept of 'thought waves' These are Scientifically proven to exist and generated by the brain and studies of telepathy are based on this fact. Explaining this information in easier to understand terms will be a little difficult, so please stay with us.

Scientifically, human thought is just a biochemical process of neurons being transferred between different synapses in the brain. However, this transfer of neurons creates an electrical current. Tiny, sure, but measurable. This electrical current also generates a tiny magnetic field. Keep in mind the brain has tens of thousands of synapses firing at any one time.

Can this bio-electric and bio-magnetic field be used by humans to communicate mind-to-mind? Do these electrical and magnetic waves carry content, or just the brain equivalent of meaningless static? Can people use mental training to control these brain waves? Can techniques like meditation or controlled thought be used to shape these brain waves into meaningful communication?

Another problem is the weakness of the electrical or magnetic field. It can easily be drowned out by the electrical and magnetic fields of everyday technology i.e stereos, televisions, computers, even microwaves and refrigerators all send out much larger electrical and magnetic fields.

There are, however, problems with the electrical and magnetic fields. Unfortunately these fields can be overpowered by everyday technology. For example the microwave, television, refrigerator. These everyday items produce much larger magnetic fields and electrical fields. Is it possible to reach the brains magnetic and electrical fields during an emotionally heightened state, fear, pain or shock? During these emotionally charged times, in the brain, a spiking of bio-magnetic and bio-electric activity is created by neuron synapses firing.

Parapsychology researchers documented brief periods of Telepathic communication. Instances such as a parent (usually a mother) when her child has been hurt when miles from each other. Is there a connection between the spiking of such brain activity and communication telepathically? Do two individuals, related to each other, play a part in telepathy? Or coincidence?

Too little scientific evidence exists to prove, without a doubt, telepathy is factual. However, this is gradually changing. More and more studies are being conducted and show humans are telepathic and with proper instruction and training can develop this ability. - 20763

Silk Flowers And Silk Arrangements And Their Benefits

By Kathleen Rivero

Did you know that floral arrangements can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians around 2,500 B. C.? Even though such a long time has passed, the principle behind it hasn't really changed that much, that is, if you base it in their wall carvings and wall writings. They were mainly used in vases and for processions, funerals, and special occasions, usually as table centerpieces. Today, they are still being used for pretty much the same purposes, and more.

For most people, flower arrangements are very pleasing to the eye. They add life to any type of room, whether in the offices, homes, shops - absolutely any type of establishment. Functions like parties simply cannot do without them. They are commonly used for wreaths, bouquets, and table centerpieces. Florists can have them arranged according to the occasion they are intended for, and because most florists, in order to keep their business thriving, use the best bunches of flowers they have, buying flower arrangements from them is most of the time worth it.

Because of the intricacy of their arrangements as well as the costs of fresh flowers, flower arrangements definitely do not come cheap, especially during the holiday seasons, like Valentine's Day or Christmas Day or Thanksgiving. Florists are definitely taking advantage of these seasons to be able to sell their wares up to triple their normal selling prices, and because of this, people who badly wants to have them or who really needs them simply couldn't to budget constraints.

Artificial silk arrangements significantly changed the way people look at floral arrangements ever since they were first introduced in the market. Silk flowers are seen as a practical alternative to use for silk arrangements instead of having the real thing. Not only are they guaranteed to last even a lifetime as long as they are well taken care of, they are also very much cheaper than the real floral arrangements. They are most especially appealing if you have a need to use them daily or if you are planning to give them away because they are ideal to keep as mementoes.

Silk arrangements can be made even cheaper if you make them yourself. It is easy. All you need are the following:

1. Silk flowers and silk leaves

2. Nylon netting to make it easier to hold the arrangement together

3. Wire frames to have them conform to the shape you like

4. Ground clay to help you in making them stand properly

5. Decorative accessories, like sea shells, beads, and others

6. Wire frames for shaping purposes

7. Your creativity, of course!

Buying silk flowers for your silk arrangements is a more practical option because they are easier to maintain, are cheaper, and are way more flexible to have than the real ones. Real ones have the tendency to wilt in just a short period of time. Opting for silk arrangements will be able to give you the satisfaction of having them last a really long time and saves you the hassle of having to replace floral arrangements, especially if you are intending to use them for a long time. All you need to do to make sure that your silk flowers and silk arrangements stay looking nice is to dust them periodically. - 20763

What Women Should Know If They Do Not Want To Fail At Work?

By Antoinette R. Wallace

The pressure to perform at work is there for both- men as well as women. However being a lady if you do not need to fail at work then here are some things that you need to grasp.

First and most vital gossiping should be desisted from, regardless of how juicy the details or how badly you want to tell somebody. While you will win over allies in the workplace by supplying information, you may actually not be trusted. What's more, if you're constantly gossiping about others, others could be gossiping about you too behind your back. By pulling others down you may only achieve greatness in showing yourself as unprofessional- a trait that can unquestionably not help your career.

Avoid inappropriate dressing. You could just end up looking hot in that micro mini but it will not help you earn professional repute. Also, there is no reason why you should be wearing track pants to work. It is very critical that you dress well to work. Don't expect to be taken seriously if you are not dressing how you should to work. Remember, a suitable dressing sense is one of the first and most important signs of professionalism.

Try not to keep too low a profile at work space. While chatting up at inopportune moments is obviously not suggested, you should definitely talk up if you've got something valuable to assert. Most women think voicing their opinion will make them come across as dominating or assertive. it is not always true. Folks may regard you to be amateurish if you do not talk your intelligence ever.

Try not play the office 'Mother Teresa'. While helping out associates occasionally actually helps you build cordial relations at the workplace, you do not need to extend a helping hand on every occasion. Volunteering for everything could leave you with lots of unnecessary responsibilities. This may seriously impede your ability to meet deadlines and hamper your career.

You must also find out how to handle criticism and learn from it. It will help you grow and develop in your selected field. Taking in only the compliments and ignoring the feedback could impede your career expansion. When anyone criticises you need to ideally take their opinion into account and investigate whether there's some truth to it after all. Also, take into consideration the source it's coming from. If the criticism is coming from a reputed senior or a valued person, you may actually take his or her comments to heart and work on correcting it.

Keep these things under consideration and you will be able to succeed at work for sure. - 20763
