The Benefits Of Online Dating
Feb/100
There are a lot of dating websites that provide the user with the possibility to get acquainted with its functions during short period of time. This period is so called trial. However, there exist some websites that will not offer you that possibility and you will have to sign up at the site blindly. In most of the cases such websites just want to attract more members who will pay for the services they get. Some of the sites use the face profile to make the users use other sites. Besides, sometimes they can even show the profiles of the people who have not been logging for a long time.
That is why in order to avoid some unpleasant situations you are recommended to sign up at the dating site that provides you with trial period, an opportunity to get acquainted with online dating services. However, in that case you have to be very careful. Sometimes, you will not be offered an opportunity to try all of the services but at the end of the trial period you will be charged the whole payment from your credit card no matter whether you showed any activities or not. This situation is very confusing for the people who are on the dating site at the moment. They are not sure whether the person is fully subscribing member or just on a trial period.
What is more, some of the dating websites used billing practices and a lot of members were complaining because of that fact. This usually occurred in the situation when the users were cancelling from the trial period but at the end they were still charged full price of the trial period. In that case you are recommended to take some precautions to avoid these problems in the future. Besides, for these purposes you can use virtual card.
Very often members use lie that is not considered to be a positive thing because sooner or later everything will be obvious. Of course you can make stories and describe yourself using very bright words but truth is a thing that is always appreciated. Even though a lot of sites check the people that are signing at the site you are recommended to be on guard and never trust the strangers because very often there are a lot of sexual predators on the dating sites.
Do not forget that you main task is to get pleasant experience from online dating and have fun. However, you also have to be very careful and do not forget about danger that you can get in. For this reason get acquainted with information you get and be very careful when you agree to have personal meeting with the member you have been talking for long time.
All types of people from all over the world are getting into online dating. The market is full of propositions for men dating younger women, for dating women seeking men – all possible variations here. If you are interested the site with direct and explicit shortcut to the married women seeking men – please go here, but be advised that this can be for the audience that is fully matured and one needs to be over 18.

How to Stop Yelling at Your Kids
Dec/090
I love a line I read in a book once. It went something like this: “If it isn’t life threatening, if the house is not ablaze, if it is not an emergency, or if the child you are yelling to is not half a mile away, then yelling is the wrong choice in parenting.”
Yelling negatively and directly affects the way children see themselves and how they feel about their life and their place in this world. Yelling is also bad for the parents’ self-esteem since it is usually a behaviour that one regrets or is ashamed of.
It is important to realize that when a parent yells they are not editing what they say the same way they would if they were speaking in a calmer moment of discussion or conversation.
The first step one must take to stop yelling is to understand what triggers the yelling. Yes, one’s child is probably doing something naughty, however, it is important to think about what makes one choose to yell instead of speaking matter-of-factly.
Ninety percent of the time, the reason people yell is that they were yelled at as children. Even though they may have hated being yelled at it is all they know and simply fall into that same pattern during times of stress with their own children.
The second step is to realize what response is most likely to occur after one finishes yelling. Because yelling makes a child feel badly about themselves they will often lash back in order to protect themselves, and then become revengeful. They may, out of fear and sadness, stop the behaviour for a short period of time, however the anger and humiliation they felt will build up and soon enough they will lash out. A good example here is when parents think yelling works when their children are small, but are shocked when they experience severe disobedience when their children get a little older.
So, if one knows that they are yelling simply because it is what they have learned and they understand that the result of yelling never achieves the desired result, what is the alternative? What is the solution?
Instead of yelling one must train oneself to take a deep breath and then state the behaviour they want from their child in a matter-of-fact, assertive tone of voice.
If one’s child is begging them to watch TV when it is homework time, one should simply say, “You need to stop whining and go do your homework.” If the begging continues say, “You can stop begging right now or you can go to time out. What is your choice?” If the child is used to yelling, they will probably continue, so the parent should take the child by the hand and walk him/her to a predetermined time out spot. The amount of time the child should spend there is one minute per year of age. After the time is up one should go back and state what they expect from their child again – to begin their homework.
With this these new tools, one should feel more confident that they have the knowledge now to change from what they have learned from their own parents to what they now know is the better, more effective way to handle discipline.

10 Ways To Be Productive in 10 Minutes
Jul/090
Most of my free time, except when I’m doing it on purpose, tends to come in short blocks. I rarely have 2 hours free, but might, over the course of a work day, have those same two hours in twelve ten-minute bursts.
I realized recently that, for the most part, I waste all of this free time. Since it’s such a short period of time, it seems to not strike me as worth using productively. I spend those ten minute periods doing things like staring aimlessly at the computer screen, picking my nose, or trying to remember what on Earth I have to do in ten minutes. I’m a big fan of periodically doing this (zoning out for a while’s my favorite way to launch back into productive work), but I started to notice that, over the course of a day or week, that time really does add up.
So I developed a list of ten things to do with ten minutes. Now, when I’ve got a few minutes to spare or kill, I run down this list, and do one or two of them – it makes my time more productive, and tends to give me longer blocks of free time later, because I’ve already finished all the quick tasks that tend to pile up at the end of my task list.
Make a Phone Call
Since most of us seem to be near a phone just about 24 hours a day, and always seem to have someone we should or have to call, free moments are the natural time to make a few phone calls. Only having ten minutes is a nice bonus – it makes sure you’re not going to get into some long, drawn-out conversation you’d rather not have. Whether you need to follow up on something, make a plan, or just catch up with a friend, phone calls can be done quickly, and anywhere.
Cook
If you’ve got a few minutes, make yourself some food, either for now or for later. Sometimes I’ll make lunch for the next day, or just throw together a snack for when I inevitably get hungry (usually a point when I don’t have ten seconds to spare, much less ten minutes). Having something around to munch on, or having the cooking process started, makes it all go faster when I need it to.
Nap
I’m a huge proponent of cat-naps, and anyone who says they don’t work is a dirty liar. Put your head down, close your eyes, and go to sleep. Sure, you’ve only got ten minutes, but who cares? The simple act of closing your eyes, clearing your head and relaxing (more akin to meditation) is hugely beneficial, as is even a few minutes of sleep. You’ll come back rejuvenated, in a better place to do more later.
Read Something
Keep a reading list somewhere accessible. I used to have a bookmarks file on my computer called “Read Later”; now I use Instapaper. Wherever you keep it, keep a list of things you want to read of watch, and plow through a few of them in spare moments. Applications like Instapaper are great because they have mobile versions, but any list you can come up with works.
Write Emails
This is much the same as phone calls – we’ve all got emails we could write, even if they’re not absolutely essential this very second. For me, at least, I hate writing emails longer than about six sentences, so I tend to leave them off as long as possible. I realize, though, that in ten minutes I can write a number of emails, and get through a good chunk of my “Reply To” list. Makes other people happy, and makes me feel more productive. Win-win.
Strike Up a Conversation
If you’ve got nothing to do, why not go build up a relationship? Maybe it’s the person in your neighbor cubicle, or maybe it’s the girl behind the counter at the coffee shop – whoever it is, strike up a conversation. Time flies, and who knows? You might just meet someone fascinating.
Clean Up
The single most productive thing I do in these in-between times is organize. In ten minutes, it’s ridiculous how much filing I can get done, or how much email purging and sorting I can get through. Pick one area or one task, and plow through it. I try to clear my desk in ten minutes, and almost always find I can. Usually I just throw everything away, but that’s beside the point. Ten minutes is more than enough time to make a huge dent in even the biggest piles of junk.
Brainstorm
Brainstorming and mind mapping are great ways to spend a few spare minutes, and are great because you can do either with almost anything: a computer, paper, a napkin, or whatever you might find at hand. Just start writing stuff – what do you have to do? What cool ideas do you have? You’ll be amazed how much comes out, and how quickly, when you just sit there and start writing. Or, try making a list of 100, a list centered around a particular topic (say, Ideas for Making Millions) that’s exactly 100: no more, no less. Only having ten minutes makes the ideas fly out, and you’ll be amazed how good they are.
Stumble
StumbleUpon, a website/toolbar that takes you to random webpage after random webpage, is frequently single-handedly credited with the downfall of Western Civilization. You know what? I’m cool with that. Stumbling is a great way to learn new things, expose yourself to interesting Web tidbits you’d never find otherwise, and broaden your horizons of all things Web. Spend a few minutes with StumbleUpon, and I guarantee you’ll learn something.
Journal
I kept a journal for a long time, and then stopped once I discovered I’m not interesting in the least. Now I wish I hadn’t stopped – who knows who might one day find it interesting, or when I’ll want to look back? Instead of a long-form journal (though I highly recommend keeping one if it works for you), just take a few minutes and write down a few high- and low-lights of the day. Usually, just jot down the first few things that come to mind about your life since you wrote last. In a year, ten years, or a hundred, you’ll be glad you did.
What do you do to fill in the blanks, and make use of these short bursts of free time?

7 Factors of Luck, Part 1 of 3
Jul/090
There are more than 50 laws or principles of luck, which I call, “Luck Factors.” I am going to introduce you to seven of the most helpful luck factors, all of which are learnable by you. Each of these luck factors can be quickly incorporated into your life and can literally double your effectiveness and your results in a very short period of time.
The first of these luck factors is simply, “Clarity.” Clarity is as much as 80% of luck. Clarity simply means that you know exactly what it is you want and is perhaps the most important luck factor of all, at least at the beginning.
The more definite you are about what you want, the more alert and aware you will be of opportunities and possibilities to achieve it faster. All successful people are absolutely clear about who they are and what they want, and what they need to do to get from wherever they are to wherever they want to go. Unsuccessful, unhappy people, on the other hand, are usually quite fuzzy about what it is they stand for and believe in, and what it is they really want from their lives.
As the old saying goes, “You can’t hit a target you can’t see.” Or, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” So called “lucky” people seem to be very, very clear about their goals and the steps they will have to take to achieve them.
One of the simplest things you can do to change your luck is to simply take a piece of paper and write down a list of at least 10 things you want to accomplish in the next 12 months. This doesn’t seem like a very complicated exercise, but less than 3% of adults will ever engage in this exercise in their lifetimes. And these 3% will end up at the top of every organization or company that they work with.
It has been said that success and prosperity begins with you, a pen and a piece of paper. 97% of people walking around today have no written goals at all. The very act of putting pen to paper and determining the 10 things that you want to accomplish over the next 12 months moves you immediately into the top 3% of people living today. All it takes it 3-5 minutes.
I’ve given this exercise to tens of thousands of people. My files are now bulging with letters from people whose entire lives have been changed by the simple act of writing down 10 or more things that they wanted to be, have or do over the next year. Here is an important part of luck. Lucky people are those who, when they hear a good idea, they ask, “I wonder if it would work for me?”
Unlucky people, on the other hand, when they hear a good idea, like writing down 10 goals, always ask themselves, “I wonder whether it would do me any good?”
The difference between the luck person and the unlucky person is that the luck person is always asking, “How?”
When the lucky person thinks of something that he or she wants, the lucky person always asks, “How can I achieve it or acquire it?” The attitude of always asking how seems to trigger both your subconscious and your super-conscious mind so that you are constantly seeing possibilities and getting insights that will help you achieve it. But when you ask, “Whether,” you seem to shut down your creative capabilities.
In your brain is small finger-like organ called the “Reticular Cortex.” This reticular cortex is like a telephone switch board. It controls the messages that are allowed to hit your eyes, ears and other senses. Since you are bombarded by hundreds and thousands of messages, from all sides, continually, this reticular cortex enables you to focus and concentrate on those elements in your environment that are relevant or important to you, and ignore the rest.
The reticular cortex is activated by a clear goal, command, desire or even a fear on your part. For example, if you decide that you want to get a red sports car, and you are really excited about the possibility of a red sports car, you will start to notice red sports cars everywhere. Even a red sports car turning the corner two or three blocks ahead of you will be picked up by your reticular cortex and broadcast to your conscious mind.
What we know about successful people is that they are continually thinking about the things that they really, really want, and as a result, they are commanding their reticular cortex to make them more sensitive and aware to opportunities and possibilities to achieve those goals.
Unsuccessful, or unlucky people, are always concluding that these goals are probably way out of their reach and they unwittingly send the signal to their reticular cortex’s not to pay any attention to ideas or opportunities that crop up in their environments.
One of the ways that successful people are described is, “He or she always seems to know exactly what he or she wants and is determined to get it.”
Unsuccessful people are described as people who have no idea what they really want.
The person with absolute clarity, this key luck factor, will seem to attract far more possibilities and opportunities than the person who has no idea. So, imagine that this luck factor is like a dimmer switch in darkened room where you are going to throw darts. As you become absolutely clear about your goals and aspirations, the dimmer switch is turned on to full brightness and the dartboard becomes crystal clear in every detail. Your likelihood of hitting a bulls eye on such a dartboard is vastly greater than if you were throwing darts from a great distance in a darkened room.

Until then,
