Pythagoras, the father of mathematics, is also the father of esoteric numerology. He believed that there was an order to the universe and that numbers were more than a means of quantifying things. His philosophies included the idea that each number had an esoteric meaning. <br />
<br />
Esoteric numerology, then, is the art and science of understanding the spiritual significance and orderly progression of all things. Every word or name vibrates to a number, and every number has an inner meaning. The letter and number code, when properly understood and applied, brings us into a direct and close relationship with the underlying intelligence and vibration of the universe. <br />
<br />
Pythagoras taught that numbers operate on the spiritual plane. With few exceptions, everything can be factored to a number from 1 through 9, and each of those numbers has an esoteric meaning. It also represents an interval in a cycle. Pythagoras saw in number patterns and geometrical ratios the explanations of all natural phenomena, musical harmony, and tonal qualities. He knew that the stars and planets were vibrating entities that produced sound, which he called the harmony of the spheres. The only times that life numbers are not coded to the lowest single digit is when that number is 11 or 22, or any multiple of the number 11. Ordinarily, 11 would be factored to a 2, but the number 11 is what’s called a Master Number and is extraordinarily powerful in Numerology. There is, in fact, an entire cult built around the number 11, or more specifically, 1111. This is a number that refers to End Time, and is a fascinating study all by itself.<br />
<br />
As an example, your birthdate provides the pattern which we call the Life Lesson. Your name given at birth, when transcribed into numbers with a code that has existed since Pythagoras’ day, can tell you the state of consciousness that you have achieved in this lifetime and indicate the record of the growth of your soul as well.<br />
<br />
Your personal numbers are pieces of the puzzle that define your existence. When you delve into numerology, you also delve into the ancient sciences of astrology and tarot. <br />
<br />
This is just an introduction to the mysterious and wonderful world of Numerology. You can find out more information about this <a href="http://justinb590.numerology.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">art and science at this link</a>.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Women are complicated creatures, especially sexually. But helping your partner squirt her juices isn't! <br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Because my good friend, the bestselling sex advice expert Gabrielle Moore, has an advanced, sensual and easy to understand step-by-step method of mastering the art of female ejaculation. And it's the only thing you'll need to open yourself up to the deepest sexual experience EVER!<br />
<br />
Even women who have never ejaculated can find themselves covered in liquid after being brought to the heights of ecstasy, so go for it!<br />
<br />
Did you know that a woman's ejaculate is expelled from the urethra, the same place where urine comes from, but it is not urine at all?<br />
<br />
Also, don't go straight for the goods without warming her up! Starting off with a good dose of foreplay is the<br />
way to go if you want to arouse her to the point of splashing her goods off.<br />
<br />
Watch Gabrielle's video now and get her squirting uncontrollably tonight!<br />

I think it's ridiculous that these young crackheads have to break into homes to grab what they can to get money for their crack. Of course they are cowards by breaking in when no one is home. These creatures are the scum of the earth, pathetic imbeciles that should be treated as less than human.<br />
<br />
These dumb fucks try breaking into a home that has an alarm. They make three attempts to break in. First by jimmying a door but getting what they're trying to use stuck in the key lock. Next they try a window, but then reconsider. Third, they try a door that has been barricaded to where no one can open on the inside. In fact, they try at least four times. Finally, they break a window which triggers the alarm. These fucks are described in one word -- PATHETIC. Yes, these imbeciles are pathetic losers with nothing to live for in their lives except crack. <br />
<br />
I hope they kill themselves off with crack because they do not deserve to live. They deserve to die. They are beneath normal human beings and should be treated as less than human. I mean, they are so desperate to break in for a quick grab and go they are willing to do anything. It's kind of like trying the same thing over and expecting a different result. I mean, why not give up. After all, for all that pathetic trying, they get nothing. What pathetic losers they are. Finally when they get in the alarm sounds, which scares them off. Hopefully, they won't be back, but who knows. After all, that crack has made them mutants or some subspecies of human.<br />
<br />
If these pathetic petty criminals are to act like scum, they should be treated as such. And they should know they are being treated as such, and if they get offended, even better. I'm sure they were mad by the time they finally break in. Good, I hope they are mad and I hope they cut themselves on the glass.<br />
<br />
So these petty burglar criminal crackheads are a bunch of pathetic loser scumbags who have nothing to live for. The least they can do is do a favor to the normal human race and off themselves since they are already doing it anyway, just slowly. Since they have nothing to live for anyway, they should just do it quickly and be done with it. SCUMBAG CRACKHEADS, YOU WON'T BE MISSED WHEN YOU'RE GONE OFF THIS EARTH. YOU WON'T BE MISSED WHEN WE DON'T SEE YOU IN HEAVEN AND YOUR BURNING IN HELL!</div>

<br />
Kindness is being generous to the spirit. It comes when we give ourselves and our time to help others without expecting anything in return. When we show kindness, we bring out the best in ourselves. We also brighten somebody else’s day which makes ourselves feel happier. <br />
<br />
We should pay attention to how our behavior impacts others. We should also notice our feelings in relation to how they react, especially on how we feel when others show us kindness. What we give comes back to us seven fold When we are kind, not only do we get immediate payback in terms of the "feel good" factor, but we also receive kindness from others in unexpected and unrelated ways.<br />
<br />
It is easy to find ways to be kind to others. We can say something supportive when our instincts feel someone needs to hear it, offer help without being asked, smile encouragingly, swallow our criticisms, listen without judging, let mistakes slide instead of assigning blame, and make small sacrifices for the benefit of someone in need.<br />
<br />
A great rule of thumb I apply to my life is to do unto others as I’d have them do unto me, and, do unto myself as I’d do unto others. The latter part is just as important as the former. It is no good to be consistently kind to others and forget to be so to ourselves. This will cause us to run out of steam, and to feel less able to show kindness to others if we don’t replenish our own minds, body, and spirit on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
Being kind to ourselves means getting our needs met, being gentle with ourselves instead of critical when we feel we're not performing at our best, forgiving ourselves when we need to instead of beating ourselves up. When we get into the habit of treating ourselves with kindness, it becomes easier to extend that consideration and behavior to others.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
There are some domain names I own which I am not using at the moment. Believing them to have use, I have decided to sell my domain names. They are available right now, and I am willing to accept offers for these.<br />
<br />
My domains currently do not have websites as I am undecided on what I want to do as far as web material. Plus, I feel my schedule is too busy to manage a website. What's amazing about a domain is you can use it for a website, or to forward to an affiliate link of a product you are promoting.<br />
<br />
As an affiliate marketer, it is good to pay for a domain name to forward to your affiliate site. This way if you come up with a catchy domain name, it will be easy to remember instead of putting in a long link with an affiliate id. Plus, no one's going to put in a website with an affiliate id.<br />
<br />
A domain name forwarding to an affiliate site is also good because if people see an affiliate id attached to a website, they are not going to buy through your affiliate link. They will just type in the name of the website, which will cause you to lose the commission.<br />
<br />
This is why it is good to have a domain name even if you don't plan to have a website, but you may still want a website. Domain names can be costly, and the domain name you want may have already been taken by someone else. This means you can make an offer to purchase that domain name if you can do something great with it. You can get an expired domain name for cheap.<br />
<br />
At this time, I felt the need to liquidate some of my domain names, and I am willing to consider any offer put before me.<br />
<br />
The following domains I have for sale via Offer/Counter Offer are:<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The Holidays are upon us, and the Holidays are a time of spending time with our loved ones. It is that time of year when we appreciate those who are close to us. With the Holiday Season comes the New Year, and the New Year is a time for new beginnings, a time to make those New Year Resolutions.<br />
<br />
The New Year is coming soon, and with the prophecy of the Mayans coming on the 21st of December, it will really be a time of new beginnings. So whatever your New Year's Resolutions may be, whether living healthier, spending more time with the ones you love, improving yourself overall, or even finding love, this may be the perfect time to follow through with these resolutions.<br />
<br />
The Holiday season is a time of love, whether it's family, that special someone, or whoever, and maybe this could be the time you find that special someone. With all the mistletoe and New Year's Eve, this is the time to give or get that special kiss from that special someone.<br />
<br />
How will you be spending your Holidays? Hopefully with the one's you love, and even more hopefully with that special someone. You may now have a significant other, and if so, then now is the time to let them know how special they are to you, but if you do not have someone, maybe now is the best time to find that special someone.<br />
<br />
Being alone for the Holidays is not the way to go, so hopefully we can find someone special to spend the time with. Finding someone to love does not have to be as hard as it seems. We just have to know where to find that person to love. A lot of times we go about it the wrong way. We've all gone through the ups and downs of relationships, but if we can be positive, maybe we will find someone to spend New Year's Eve with and get that special kiss at the stroke of midnight. On the other hand, if we don't, maybe we will find somebody in the new year.<br />
<br />
Because this is the time for new beginnings, this is now the time to find someone new. A lot of us are shy and do not know what to say when we see someone we would like to approach when we are out and about. A lot of times we worry we will make a bad first impression. These things happen. We live and learn. We cannot let this fear scare us into being alone.<br />
<br />
So if we learn from our past mistakes, we can all prosper in the new year and find that special someone to be with!<br />

I haven't posted anything as far as a blog lately. I just haven't had a lot on my mind lately, well, at least nothing coherent that was worth posting, but I've also haven't had much time lately.<br />
<br />
With that being said, I understand November is National Blog Month. I just thought I'd take some time to blog about something regarding that. Since this is National Blog Month, maybe we should all blog about something that comes to mind. With the Election, rapidly approaching Holiday Season, and many topics trending online, I'm sure we have something we can write about.<br />
<br />
Blogging is an exciting way to write about what's on our minds. It can help us get things off our chests when something gets to us. It feels good to express what is going on.<br />
<br />
Posting on your blog regularly keeps your blog fresh with new content. If you want visitors to your blog you need to post regularly to keep it up to date and keep it ranked in the search engines. Sometimes we could be going in different directions and lose time to do something such as blogging, making your blog become stale. That's what's happened to me, so if you're like me, you don't want to make your blog go stale. When you get the chance, take some time to blog. There's plenty of things that occur in your life that you can blog about. There's also trending topics that often change with new ones every so often that you can blog about.<br />
<br />
With that being said, tonight is the Louisiana State University Tigers versus the University of Alabama Crimson Tide battling it out on the Gridiron. This will be the rematch of the National BCS Championship games where the Tigers lost to the Crimson Tide; nevertheless, it will be an awesome match.<br />
<br />
So blog about something that's on your mind. Make it long or short, however you want.<br />
<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
Does this sound familiar?<br />
<br />
You've read all the personal development books, you've attended all the self-help seminars, you've done many things you can think of. You've worked hard, very hard.<br />
<br />
Yet after all that studying and hard work, what do you have to show for it? Nothing? You may ask yourself, "why am I not where I want to be financially, mentally, or spiritually?<br />
<br />
Fortunately, some people were able to answer that question. That, and many other questions through "accidental" discovery.<br />
<br />
Despite what you may think, it is possible to get the keys to manifestation and an abundance of the universe. It is possible to discover that which breaks you free from limited thinking and finally getting what you want in life!<br />
<br />
This "Accidental" Discovery is brilliant and full of instruction in the science and art of self-realization. Many people have read this and were opened up to a new world of positive thinking. With all the negativity going on, we need people who want to rise above the rest and actually walk the walk instead of talk the talk.<br />
<br />
We want to make something of ourselves, and we can do this!<br />
<br />
Expect miracles,<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another weekly review of The Glass House is
here. Oh joy. Oh joy.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Again this week, I shall switch between Lizard Lick
Towing and The Glass House. Personally,
I think The Glass House should be moved to Lizard Lick, North Carolina. Ron is looking to take his crew to the beach
the next day. However, today is a work
day with a nighttime repo that is still on schedule. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Glass House is 5 minutes late again this
week. Why does The Bachelorette run 5
minutes over? Last week, Robin and Erica
went to limbo. Robin was team captain of
the losing team last week. The Glass
House has divided. We learn that Andrea
is against gay marriage which upsets Jeffery.
Joy has no respect for Kevin, and name calling is taking place much lick
what happens on Lizard Lick Towing when it comes to repossessing a vehicle from
those delinquent on their payments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There’s a fire burning at The Lick much like what’s
going on in The Glass House. The
difference being that the fire in The Glass House is metaphoric. Somebody from whom Ron and Bobby are trying
to repossess a truck gets angry and starts shooting and setting fires. Also, it turns out Johnny didn’t sell the
candy that was to help raise funds for the Church camp, yet he had brought
money from what was thought to be from the sale of the candy. Where did Johnny get the money from? Can’t trust that guy. Some angry people show up at Lizard Lick
Towing. It gets so bad the cops show up
for this fiasco. After the cops get those
angry assholes away the Lizard Lick crew head for the beach, but not before
Juicy feels the need to shop for the proper beach attire. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Commercials are now on both channels. Which show is more interesting? It’s up for debate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Anyway, we are back to The Glass House. I cannot remember many of the players’
names. Joy and the older guy argue about
how she is playing the game, specifically her supposedly playing Gene. Ah, the older guy’s name is Mike. The argument results in him and Joy agreeing
to disagree. Now comes the Viewers’
choice of who gets to share beds. Will a
bromance come out of this? Who will come
back from limbo and who will leave the game for good? The house is divided, and one group wants
Robin back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the beach the Lizard Lick crew, well Bobby, finds
a dune buggy that’s been on their repo list.
Even with a day at the beach they still do work. They plan to repossess the dune buggy. They do this by having Bobby test drive it
while Juicy becomes the distraction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At The Glass House, Robin is leaving forever, and
Erica returns to the games. Erica gets
her welcome, but it doesn’t last long as the drama continues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Lizard Lick crew got the dune buggy while
enjoying a day at the beach. Crazy Dave
lost his swim trunks and the beach patrol shows up. This ends this episode of Lizard Lick Towing,
and another episodes starts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At The Glass House, it’s time to find out who will
be the team captains for the next challenge.
It’s…Holly and Ashley; one of whom will go to limbo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I asked which show is more interesting. Personally, I like watching a show dealing
with repossessions. There’s more action
going on in addition to the drama. Bobby
gets lost going through the woods trying to scout the vehicle to be repossessed
and gets caught. This repo is from some
moonshiners. I guess it’s coming from
when making this distilled whiskey was and is still illegal, but these
moonshiners act like anti-government sovereign citizens who may want to make
their own nation separate from the of the United States so they can make their
moonshine according to their own laws.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So how about some moonshine in The Glass House? Two people from the same side of the house
are the team captains. The strategy here
is that one captain will pick all players from the other side to guarantee
someone from the other side goes to limbo.
Stephanie is made the sacrificial lamb.
Team Ashley is up first. The
challenge is balancing a ball on a disk and bring it to the other side and make
the ball drop in a cylinder. The
challenge is complete when 3 balls are in the cylinder, so the object is to get
this done as quickly as possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At The Lick, Ron and Bobby are going to repo a

her. Ron finds Mickey on Amy’s computer

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I missed last week’s episode of The Glass House due to being
on vacay and having too much fun to take time to watch. I was also switching between last night’s
episode and Lizard Lick Towing. Of
course, The Bachelorette ran over. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since the episode of Lizard Lick seemed interesting, I had
to switch between the two shows. Which
one is more interesting?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So The Glass House finally comes on 5 minutes after 9 Central Time. Like I said, I didn’t get to watch last week’s
episode due to being on vacay, but we do know that the viewers voted out Alex
last week, and Jacob quit after being sent to Limbo. I do find it ironic that the viewers voted
out Alex after they wanted him to be so obnoxious and cause drama in the house. Could the viewers have wanted him to act that
way so they could vote him out? Kind of
like being set up to fail. Anyway, at
the start of this episode, Apollo and Holly are in Limbo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is when I decided to go to Lizard Lick. On Lizard Lick Towing, Bobby and Ron are
trying to repo a vehicle from a group of Civil War Re-enactors. I felt I needed to watch this episode to see
what would happen after Johnny (Ron’s cousin) tried to put the moves on Amy
(Ron’s wife in case you didn’t already know).
What happened was Ron wanted Amy to take Johnny to lunch because of some
supposed good deed of selling candy for a kid’s church group. I had to see what would go down so I went
back and forth between The Glass House and Lizard Lick.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now back to The Glass House.
Now it’s the Robin Show. Robin
and Erica had a confrontation about Robin stealing someone’s thunder when
Stephanie was talking about her marriage.
It is not easy to keep up with a show such as The Glass House. The other contestants were wondering if they
stood a chance against Stephanie. Due to
her sob story, the others seem to think they would not stand a chance against
her. With that, who will return to the
Glass House? Apollo or Holly? We find
out after commercial.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back from commercial.
Apollo is out and Holly is back in thanks to the viewer’s votes. Also thanks to the viewer’s votes, Gene and
Mike get to share the Friend’s Room. It
appears the flirt Joy likes to flirt with both guys and girls. Next, it’s down to picking the captains for
the next challenge. The two captains are
Ashley and Robin. Again the losing team’s
captain and another player on the losing team get sent to Limbo. The contestants with the least amount of
votes become the team captains.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So now I go back to Lizard Lick. Amy is very angry at Johnny, and who could
blame her? Someone whose vehicle got
repossessed threw Ron’s phone into the lake.
It turns out Johnny the ever-so con man thought he could take advantage
of Ron and put the moves on Amy. So of
course Johnny and Ron got into it and told Johnny to leave. Amy and Bobby never trusted Johnny in the
first place. You just can’t trust
someone who’s been in prison. Sure he
claimed to have changed for the better, but anyone can claim that. Of course Ron felt obligated to trust a
family member, and that’s why he did, but he soon did see the writing on the
wall.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So ends this half hour episode of Lizard Lick Towing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now another episode of Lizard Lick. Ron and Bobby were given a too good to be
true job in the Big Easy. Of course Amy
was very skeptical about this, so she decides to go down to New Orleans.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now back to The Glass House.
As team captain, Robin wanted to pick a team that would win. Of course I’d like to win the challenge so I
as team captain don’t go to Limbo. The
challenge was to bob for gross stuff. The object of this challenge was to guess the
task the viewers wanted the contestants to perform and the contestant had to
perform the task. If they guessed the
wrong task they would get a penalty.
Ashley’s team won so Robin and one of her teammates will be going to
Limbo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now in New Orleans, the Lizard Lick team had to repossess a
truck and had to unattach a float. Amy
then made it down to New Orleans. She
does not like how Dwight, the guy who gave them the job and paid half upfront,
runs his business. Ron and Bobby then
had to repossess a hearse with a coffin in it.
It seems the Big Easy is not so easy for the Repo Business.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Guests from The Bachelor visit The Glass House to reveal the
viewer’s answers to the contestant’s questions. One of the answers state that the viewers do
not want Holly to stay.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lizard Lick. Bobby is
running from the people from whom the hearse was repossessed. The Lizard Lick team allowed them to take the
casket out of the hearse which turned out to be a huge mistake.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It turns out there is something shady about Dwight. The Lizard Lick team goes to collect their
fee from him, but Dwight told them they had to have the casket. Because the casket was not with the hearse
this job was considered incomplete.
Therefore an argument ensues and both sides are angry. A fight breaks out and Dwight throws them out
of his office, and so back they go to Lizard Lick. It’s possible that Dwight was in cahoots with
the people who had the hearse repossessed from them. They were the ones who convinced the Lizard
Lick Team that the casket could be kept by the ones who got licked. I think Dwight got them to do that so he
would not have to pay the Lizard Lick team for the job. Dwight is a con artist.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So now I go back to The Glass House, but it is too late so I
didn’t get to see who went to Limbo with Robin as the local news was on by the
time I switched back to ABC. Then again,
a show like Lizard Lick Towing is more exciting than a show like The Glass
House.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only connection with the Lizard Lick Glass House in the
Big Easy is that Ashley is from the city where the Lizard Lick team got licked. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">So I decided to watch the premier of ABC's Glass House last night. Could this be a Big Brother knock-off? Critics seem to think so. The show deals with contestants put into a glass house, so it is similar to Big Brother in a sense. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The exception is the viewers control the contestants' actions. There's Alex, a Bail Bondsman from Dallas, a Mormon named Andrea, Ashley from New Orleans, and Apollo, a poet/author. Wow! The house is made of glass, I think. They enter by coming up a glass elevator 2 at a time. It's made to look like they're coming from the depths of Hell. Stephanie claims to not be an actress/model type. In fact, she's a Mensa member who's married with 3 kids. Alex already seems full of himself. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The "big brother", more of a big sister calls the contestants together and the first challenge is East vs West, as chosen by the viewers. Both teams are given one day to choose a team captain, but being team captain can be risky as the captain of the losing team is sent to limbo along with another member of the losing team by vote of the contestants. Nomination for elimination on this show is called Limbo. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The contestants are then shown to their rooms. An enemies room has Holly and Robin, the youngest and oldest in the house respectively. The friends room is Erica and some other girl who's name I couldn't catch. The chimes are heard when the viewers weigh in. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Mardi Gras stuff is given to the contestants for the pool party. I still have plenty of this year's Spanish Town beads to give if anybody wants them. Kiss and love is the party game. This game involves passing a card from a deck of cards to the person next to you by breathing in and holding the card on your lips. Sushi is also the food chosen. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">So far, this show has so much going on so fast. Will there be boring live feeds of houseguests doing nothing? Maybe not 24/7 feeds, but there are live webisodes you can see during certain times. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Its down to the wire to pick team captains for the challenge. Jacob was talked into volunteering to be team captain for the West Team. Of course, he did not know that his home state of Oregon is in the west. As I said, the captain of the losing team goes into limbo. Jeffery volunteered to be captain for the East Team. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Apollo decides to use cards to vote people into limbo. Yeah that could work while trying not to personally target anyone. Alphabet strategy, anyone? Time for the first challenge. One team member will be voted into limbo with the team captain of the losing team. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">There's lack of communucation on the West Team. One person was saying do this, but another was saying no do that. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Alex screams one thing, and Apollo screams another. Everything this team thought was absolutely backwards, but the West Team finally figured it out and finished the puzzle. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Now the East Team. Stephanie becomes like a Co-Captain, and thanks to her intelligence, the East Team gets the puzzle done quicker than the West Team. Final times: West finishes in 7:04, and East finishes in 3:54.</span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Therefore, the East Team wins and is safe for the week. As Team Captain, Jacob is going to limbo this week. Who will go with him? </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Could Alex already be causing tension in the Glass House? Kevin, the Police Sergeant, seems irritated with his antics, especially when he tried to hump Stephanie while wearing womens underwear. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Alex and Kevin are already becoming enemies. Stephanie did take it better than Kevin did. Alex wants to be interesting by causing drama in the house. He is pissing the others off, and he is going to push everybody's buttons now that the viewers have answered his question on whether he should be the villain of the house. </span></span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Alex then decides to attack Joy, the mom who is a Nurse and once posed for Playboy. He decides to make Joy cry while Gene wants to console her. Could Gene be playing the <i>nice guy</i>? Really? </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Jacob is already walking around defeated while Joy is trying to pump him up. Apollo decides it's time to pull out the cards to help him determine his vote for sending someone to limbo. Based on the cards dealt, Apollo's vote goes to Ashley when it comes time to vote. Alex also votes Ashley. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Alex gets the most votes and is voted into limbo with Jacob. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">It turns out Jacob quit the game after being sent to limbo, but this does not mean Alex automatically goes back into the Glass House. The viewers still have to vote for Alex to return to the game, which is highly possible they will if they want to be him become a villain. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">So, what do you think of the premier of Glass House? Will you vote Alex back into the game? Give your thoughts on the Glass House and watch the online live webisodes. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br />

<br />
<br />
NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Suspected Maoist rebels in eastern India who held up a train carrying 300 passengers Wednesday ended their siege after a four-hour standoff, officials said.
<br />
<br />
An election official in Maharashtra Wednesday says Maoist rebels seized the train as India continued to vote.
<br />
<br />
No one was hurt, said A.K. Chandra of India's east-central railway. The suspected rebels seized the train, apparently to protest that some former comrades are taking part in general elections that are under way in the country.
<br />
<br />
The Maoists didn't want the former rebels "to join the mainstream, and, therefore, stopped this train," said Sarvendu Tathagat, deputy commission of the Latehar district in the state of Jharkhand.
<br />
<br />
Jharkhand is a mineral-rich state where rebels -- known as the Naxalites -- claim to have been fighting for the rights of the poor and the dispossessed who have not benefited from the state's resources.
<br />
<br />
About 300 men, apparently unarmed, boarded the train, disabling its braking system as it passed through a dense forest.
<br />
The hijackers released the train after "persuasion" by area villagers and railway officials, Chandra said.
<br />
"They wanted your (media) presence," he said of the hijackers' possible motive.
<br />
Jharkhand has seen stepped-up deadly attacks by rebels while the country is in the midst of month-long general elections. The second round of the elections begin Thursday.
<br />
On April 16, when the voting began, suspected rebels triggered an explosion that forced a bus carrying border security troops to stop in the same Latehar district.
<br />
When the troops stepped out, the attackers killed at least six in a three-hour gun battle.
<br />
And in neighboring Bihar state, suspected Maoists, who had called for a general strike, set ei ght trucks on fire, shot dead a driver, and blew up a government office on Wednesday, police said.
<br />
The Maoist insurgency has claimed more than 6,000 lives since the late 1960s. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has called the rebels India's biggest security threat.
<br />
The elections, covering more than 3 million square kilometers of the planet, will run until next month in several stages of scattered polling. Then, elections officials will count the vote electronically in a single day -- on May 16, three days after the last round of polling.
<br />
It is an exercise that India undertakes every five years for its 1 billion-plus population. This year, the country is voting in 543 boroughs of the Lok Sabha, or the lower house of the Indian parliament.

Stop Thinking Start Doing...This is the way I believe we should live like. By thinking too much about doing something, we end up not doing it; thus, we regret not doing it or hope for another chance to do it. Unfortunately, if we hope for another chance, when that chance comes, we may end up not taking it. This is because we had more time to think about it, making us hesitate to doing it, and we keep putting it off.<br />
<br />
Someone once told me, "the more you think about it, the more you miss." To me, this is so true. If you think about things too much, you end up missing out. We should not miss out on anything. Thinking about something leads to over-analyzing, which forces us to find something to fear about doing that thing. This is why we should be spontaneous, and when something comes to mind, we should just do it. <br />
<br />
We should do it before we have a chance to think about it, before our peers <i>advise</i> we should not. Too many factors in the equation can cause conflict, which can lead to more analyzing, which in turn will give more cons than pros as to why we should do it. In the battle of negative versus positive, negative always wins. Negative is the bad apple that spoils the bunch. Throughout time, bad has always overpowered good, not the other way around. Thereby, we cannot keep the door open for negativity to enter; we have to get on it right away before the negativity can come through. <br />
<br />
This is why people lack confidence. This is why people lack assurance. People think too much and don't do enough. Before the negativity can come in, we need to stop thinking and start doing. When given an opportunity, that is the door opening to invite you in. We need to let go of our thoughts and accept that invitation. It's like the movie <i>Yes Man</i>, we need to say "yes" to the opportunity, and greatness will come. Why? Because YOU accepted the invitation. YOU said "yes". Therefore, you will become successful. And guess what? YOU will NOT regret it!<br />
<br />
Also, thinking causes you to hold back. That's because if you think too much, you will find reasons not to do. You will find more reasons to not do than you will to do. So jump at the opportunity! This is the opportunity telling you to take it! <br />
<br />
The world is a negative place, all with the down economy, unemployment, corrupt governments, etc. Do NOT be part of the negativity! Rise above it. Don't think about it, DO IT!<br />
<br />
I really believe in Stop Thinking Start Doing. This is why I decided to put it on a T-shirt. I feel the need to share this with the world, for the good of the human race that each person will achieve what they are capable of, and not thinking about it, but doing it!<br />
<br />
So please check out my Zazzle store with the Stop Thinking Start Doing T-shirt. Also, I have a coffee mug with this saying.<br />
<br />
By not thinking but instead doing, you will achieve something great, and you will feel great about yourself!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Life is tough, and you need energy and motivation to work. There are times we want to do something <b>to lose weight, </b>but we can’t because of that lack of will to do so. Success comes to those who stay motivated and work towards their goals whether it is related to business or weight loss. When one is motivated from inside, that person can undertake any job and succeed with flying colors. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are strategies to help you get inspired and motivated to pursue your goals. Some are listed below. Read on and prepare yourself for a new life.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Take a break</span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">- When you do not feel like doing anything, you may need a break. Hard work takes a lot of our energy, and the body gives signs that it needs a break from its routine. Take one or two breaks from work so your mind and body can relax. If you work out, take a break from your workout schedule to give your body some rest. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Start from smaller things</span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Setting big goals is good but they should also be achievable. Once you set small goals and achieve them, a sense of confidence is instilled in your mind and you become ready to set bigger goals and work towards them. Working out for two hours at a time may not be your cup of tea. Start with half an hour and then move forward.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoListParagraph"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bring some changes in your sports and fitness routine-</span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> You need to find out what you can do best. If you think running is a better form of exercise, make sure you add it to your fitness routine. Make changes in your work out regime frequently so you don’t get bored. Variety will work for you.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoListParagraph"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Reward yourself</span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Motivation comes from rewards. When you do not feel like doing anything, reward yourself with something you like. Take a Jacuzzi bath, get a massage, or treat yourself with some tasty food, just to revive your mood.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoListParagraph"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Make weight loss programs pleasurable and not painful</span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">- It has been proven by Psychologists that people tend to connect their actions with either pain or pleasure. When you find yourself lacking in motivation, you must think about the results that will keep you motivated. When you don’t feel like going to the <b>health club,</b> think about the benefits it will bring to you and not about how boring it will be for you to run on the treadmill. You really need to motivate yourself to lose weight and get yourself a good and healthy life.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">So to recap, motivation is what it takes to accomplish your goals.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">To stay motivated, you need to take breaks so you can refresh and be ready to continue with achieving your goals.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Also, start small.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Don’t bite off more than you can chew.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Get out of routine and try new things as this will make life more interesting.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Reward yourself for a job well done, and finally, have fun.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">This will make you want to go out and achieve your goals.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">This is what motivation is all about.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />

At a time when employers are looking for ways to cut costs and people around us are losing their homes and jobs, the desire to work efficiently is faltering among many employees. The last thing companies can afford is lost passion and productivity among employees. In fact, at this crucial time companies should encourage employees to be more creative and productive to fight the financial crunch.<br />
<br />
With the right approach, employers can motivate their employees to give their best to their work. The following tips will help. <br />
<br />
• Try to identify employee problems and show concern for them. Do your employees really feel respected and heard? Take some time to interact with them and address their problems. Informal interaction lets you get to know them as individuals and understand what you can do to motivate them. If you can inspire your employees to take suitable steps, they will bring more energy and passion towards their work. <br />
<br />
• Build up and communicate your organizational vision to your employees. Employees will be better motivated if they are well acquainted with the purpose and goals towards which they will work for their company. Speak out a clear vision with enthusiasm and passion to see your employees working to the best of their ability. Instill confidence in every employee that their work really makes a difference.<br />
<br />
• Employers should address the inefficient teamwork. Working with an effective team can yield remarkable improvements in motivation and morale, but on the contrary, even if the most motivated employee is part of a dysfunctional team, that employee will probably not be able to maintain enthusiasm for his or her work.<br />
<br />
• A team leader’s behavior and attitude sets the basis for the whole organization; therefore, be the role model. Employees constant watch their employers and take the lead if their leaders are enthusiastic. Engage troops with enthusiasm and observe what is happening around you carefully.<br />
<br />
• Respectful communication is very important. Intimidation and fear can motivate employees to take action, but the results are not sustainable. Therefore, respect the difference of opinions. Employers should truly foster the right to have various opinions. By giving employees freedom to work towards their goals, you can see premium results. <br />
<br />
• Employees should be able to bring their creativity to their work. They will be inspired to work better if they have challenges to meet. By allowing them to make decisions and encourage mutual problem solving, you can see the difference in the quality of their work. You should also encourage feedback and suggestions to let them know their opinion matters. <br />
<br />
These tips will encourage better morale in the workplace. Management style is a vital factor when it comes to employee motivation. Thereby, how an organization is run can be a deciding factor in how employees feel about doing their job. If employees are not happy, they will not be motivated to do well, which will eventually lead the company as a whole to not do well. It is up to you, the employer, to decide how you will motivate your employees to be a driving force to the success of the company.<br />

Often times, people feel that their motivation levels are decreasing or diminishing. When a situation like that occurs, you may feel struck and not able to move forward. This could gradually lead to frustration.<br />
<br />
If you want to regain your motivation, you should not forget that inspiration is different from motivation. Motivation is the external source that encourages a person and gives that person ideas; whereas, inspiration is something that comes from your own self and ideas and encouragement is your own. When all this comes from inside, you will be inspired to work. Inspiration leads one to take action which is the key of achieving what you want. Whether it is about making changes in your life, expanding your business, or getting closer to the dreams, inspiration is the key.<br />
<br />
Inspiration drops when one indulges in monotonous routine. Doing the same thing again and again decreases inspiration in a lot of cases. When the inspiration wanders off, the drive to work towards the goal also decreases. Sometimes people just want to take a break and reevaluate what they are making out of their lives. This is a good way to regain that lost inspiration because you will be able to figure out what changes can be made in your actions and plans. <br />
<br />
Taking break from work means different things for different people. You should figure out what that break means for you. You may also decide to take a break for rejuvenation and to have fun. Knowing what you will do when you take a break is important, and you should decide on that beforehand. Taking a break from what you are currently doing can lead to a feeling of apprehension. All the fears and thoughts that you are wasting time on will be realized. Therefore, you just need to keep moving and face your fears head on.<br />
<br />
Identify Your Motivation<br />
<br />
• Examine-Check what you like doing the most. Every job has something that you will find thrilling.<br />
• Brainstorm- Think about all the tasks that you have undertaken and the things you like doing.<br />
• Initiate- Do the things that you like doing and this will help you in regaining the lost motivation.<br />
<br />
Motivators to One’s Success<br />
<br />
While evaluating the tasks that motivate you, consider the following motivators:<br />
<br />
• Does your life need organization? Is disorganization stealing your motivation?<br />
• Did you take a break recently? All of us need to take a break for rejuvenation. <br />
• Do not give up on the work you have undertaken in a jiffy. Try to be a person who can see through positivism in every situation. Also, try to give your best shot in everything that you do. <br />

<br />
One of the greatest benefits to letting your children make their own Christmas decorations is the feeling that they will get with a finished product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No matter the age of your children, there is a good chance that they will be pleased with their finished products, whether that be a Christmas tree ornament or a Christmas picture, and since the whole point of Christmas decorations is to decorate, your children will be pleased to see their works of art hanging on your walls or on the Christmas tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a parent, that could, hands down, be the biggest reason why you should allow your kids to make their own Christmas decorations.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
In addition to how proud they will feel, you should also let your children make their own Christmas decorations because it should be relatively easy and a fun process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When it comes to making Christmas decorations, you will likely find that you have many of the supplies needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not, you can easily purchase craft supplies, including Christmas supplies, from your local craft store or local dollar store.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The supplies you may need to purchase don’t even have to be just for Christmas decorations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can use the leftover supplies for other projects or even other holidays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is one of the many reasons why having your children make their own Christmas decorations costs less than buying store bought ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

</div>Although this article had a focus on letting your children make their own Christmas decorations, you may want to join in the process as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only can you give your children decoration ideas, but you can also enjoy some quality time with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christmas is all about family; therefore, by making Christmas decorations with your children, you and your family will be off to the right start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you help out a little bit or make your own Christmas decorations, you and your children will likely enjoy the time that is being spent together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Once the Christmas decorations have been made, they will need to be displayed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When displaying your children’s homemade Christmas decorations, it is important that you give them time to dry, especially if paint or glue was used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This extra time will help to ensure that the hard work put into the decorations doesn’t go to waste.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the time is right, you and your children could spend the rest of the day or evening decorating your home for Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What better way to end out the perfect day then letting your children help you hang their handmade treasures.</div></div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_tl?ie=UTF8&keywords=children%20make%20christmas%20decorations&tag=centmarkexch-20&index=aps&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank">Children Can Make Christmas Decorations</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=centmarkexch-20&l=ur2&o=1" style="border: currentColor !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06155315573697900310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506434350890499997.post-72996094229364830842011-12-03T13:09:00.000-08:002011-12-03T13:09:26.876-08:00Holiday Craft Idea: Bead and Pipe Cleaner Ornaments<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Ornaments made from pipe cleaners and inexpensive acrylic beads are very attractive and easy to make; they look quite impressive yet are easy for small children to create.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is one <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> craft idea you can use over and over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Older people will also enjoy this craft, and it can be assorted to make a number of sparkling ornaments for your tree.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">To make bead and pipe cleaner ornaments, you need pipe cleaners in desired colors (red, green, and white for the <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> season) and acrylic beads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two types of beads are particularly effective when strung on pipe cleaners; one type is sunburst beads, also known as paddlewheel beads, snowflake beads, or starburst beads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These beads have six faceted paddles spaced equally around the center that contains the hole for stringing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When several of these beads are strung consecutively, they fit against each other in an interlocking pattern.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">The other type of bead that is also effective for this <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> craft is the tri bead or propeller bead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has three rounded bumps arranged around the center hole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like the sunburst beads, the tri beads interlock when strung consecutively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the most sparkly and attractive ornaments, tri beads and/or sunburst beads in translucent colors of red, green, and clear are preferred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tri beads can also be found in metallic gold and silver which can be used in this <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> craft as well.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Pipe cleaners can be found in silver and gold tinsel as well as chenille of all colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> crafts, the best colors are metallic and Christmas colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The beads cover the pipe cleaners, but the ends will need to be twisted together and made into hangers, so they show.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHsK2g8RjRMcWWOTlx7O-oRieRLI4ouSsmXnoU6oYO7ttgMTZaElw8rlUDmizctQ0xRotsnuNixgX0W4wQKukUt4odU_KH6sGjdCXeMEVQ6inFh9vsuUQb2bTrHLmKxtA3JQ-cAOIunfk/s1600/MP900440928.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHsK2g8RjRMcWWOTlx7O-oRieRLI4ouSsmXnoU6oYO7ttgMTZaElw8rlUDmizctQ0xRotsnuNixgX0W4wQKukUt4odU_KH6sGjdCXeMEVQ6inFh9vsuUQb2bTrHLmKxtA3JQ-cAOIunfk/s320/MP900440928.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div>Everyone including small children can string these beads on pipe cleaners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bend up the end of the pipe cleaner so the beads don't fall off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pipe cleaner works like a needle, making a needle unnecessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For best results, alternate colors when stringing, or start a pattern of three colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the beads are strung on the pipe cleaners, they can be bent into different Christmas shapes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, string red and clear beads alternately, and then bend down one end of the pipe cleaner for a candy cane shape, or alternate red and green beads and form a circle for a wreath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use a red pipe cleaner to form a small bow to decorate the wreath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Form a hanger for the <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> craft or simply slip the circle over a branch of the tree.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
If you experiment with clear beads and silver pipe cleaners, you can make some beautiful snowflake or star ornaments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Snowflake designs can only be twisted with a silver pipe cleaner, and without the beads for a simple but pretty decoration.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Bead and pipe cleaner ornaments are a <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> craft you can use each year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Children and their parents will both appreciate this simple yet creative <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> craft.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">One of the best ways to save on decorating is to plan ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, like many shoppers, you may have a habit of impulse buying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is when shoppers purchase an item as soon as they see it, and this is quite often an item you did not originally intend to purchase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are shopping for Christmas decorations on a limited budget, it is strongly recommended not to given into impulse buying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why it is extremely important to plan ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are not sure what you would like to purchase, that’s okay, but you may want to focus on the parts of your home you want to decorate and which ones you do not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will also keep you from the habit of impulse buying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Once you decide which decorates you would like, you can start shopping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Understand you are trying to stay within a budget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Decorations are awesome, but you do not want to spend more money than you have to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The less you spend on decorations, the more you have to spend on gifts and dinner with the trimming, again, within a budget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why it is important to take into consideration what you want to purchase and where.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">When shopping on a budget, one of your first stops should be your local dollar store.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While many people assume dollar star items are lower in quality, this is not always the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, around the Holidays, you could get some really nice decorations for a dollar or less.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Depending on the store, you should be able to obtain <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> pictures, wall hangings for kids, Christmas tree decorations, Christmas lights, and even Christmas potholders for your kitchen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each of these items can be found at a dollar store for less than the big box stores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">In addition to dollar stores, you may also want to check out your local discount stores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Discount stores, in many cases, are a cross between a convenience store and a department store. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These stores tend to be somewhat small in size, but most dollar stores carry a wide variety of different products, including Christmas decorations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While prices at discount stores will vary, you should be able to find beautiful decorations for less than ten dollars each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, there will always be items that cost more than ten dollars, but you may be surprised with the selection of low-cost <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> decorations that can be found at your local discount store. </div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Although you may prefer brand new decorations, this may not always be possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are looking for less expensive but specialty decorations, you may want to try an online auction site, such as eBay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By carefully researching items you wish to purchase, you could get quality decorations that may be slightly used but look relatively new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">In addition, it is also important to keep when you shop in mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the largest selection of Christmas decorations, you will want to shop early, but for the best prices, you may want to wait until it gets closer to Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the days leading up to Christmas, some retail stores offer discounts on their Christmas supplies, including decorations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, right after Christmas many of these discounts reach up to seventy-five or ninety percent off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although shopping right after Christmas won’t help you this year, but it may be able to help you decorate your home, at an affordable price, next year.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

Since I am in the process of
re-financing my mortgage, I thought this would be a good opportunity to write
something about re-financing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether or
not re-financing is beneficial is a question many homeowners may have when considering
re-financing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, answering
this question is rather complicated because the answer is not always the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are some circumstances where a
homeowner might examine the possibility of re-financing; these circumstances include
drop in interest rates, improvement in a homeowner’s credit score, and changes
in a homeowner’s financial situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although re-financing is not necessarily warranted in these situations,
it is certainly worth investigating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Drop in Interest Rates<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Drops in interest rates often
send homeowners rushing to re-finance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is often the case if you bought your home during a thriving Real
Estate market when you financed at a rate that is now above the average.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the homeowner should carefully
consider the drop in interest rates before making the decision to
re-finance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is important to note that
homeowners pay closing fees each time they re-finance; these fees include
application fees, origination fees, appraisal fees, and a variety of other
costs that may add up quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because
of these closing fees, homeowners should carefully evaluate their financial
situation to determine whether or not re-financing viable option.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Generally speaking, closing fees not exceed
the overall savings and the amount of time the homeowner will need to retain
the property to recoup these costs which should not be longer than the
homeowner plans to retain the property. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Credit Score Improvements<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
When the homeowner’s credit
scores improve, considering re-financing is warranted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lenders are in the business of making money
and are more likely to offer favorable rates to those with good credit than to
those with poor credit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a result
those with poor credit are likely to be offered higher interest rates or
adjustable rate mortgages. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Homeowners dealing
with these circumstances may investigate re-financing as their credit improves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The good thing about credit scores is that mistakes
and blemishes are eventually erased from the record; as a result, homeowners
who make an honest effort to repair their credit by making timely payments may
find themselves with improved credit sometime in the future.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Lenders are willing to offer
lower interest rates to those with higher credit scores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why homeowners should consider re-financing
when their credit score begins to show improvement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During this process is the homeowner can
determine whether or not re-financing is worthwhile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Changes In Financial Situations<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Homeowners should also consider
re-financing when there is a significant change in their financial situation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These changes may include an increase in
salary as well as the loss of a job, or even a change in careers resulting in a
decrease in pay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In either case,
re-financing may be a viable solution. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Homeowners
who are making more money might consider re-financing to pay off their debts
earlier. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the other hand, those who are
unable to fulfill their monthly financial obligations might turn to
re-financing as a way of extending the debt and lowering their monthly
payments. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may result in the
homeowner paying more money in the long run because they are stretching their
debt over a longer period, but it may be necessary in times of need. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In these cases a lower monthly payment may be
worth paying more in the long run.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Therefore, in times of lower
interest rates, it may be a good idea for examine the idea of re-financing to
take advantage of the lower interest rates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is also a good idea to examine this option when there are changes in
your financial situation, whether it is improved credit scores, increases in
pay, decreases in pay, or any changes in your financial situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moreover, it is important to also examine
possible impact as a result of possible re-financing.</div>
