How Can Women Begin To Recognize Their Core Value?

Image
If we bring new ideas about what we want that is different to the original expectation of the relationship, we fear and risk confrontation with a spouse or a loved one, misunderstandings, turbulence, or possibly losing a partner. We also fear and risk being vulnerable, being laughed at, ridiculed or put down. How can women minimize the fear and begin to talk about their innermost feelings and heartfelt desires with their partner after being complacent and ‘comfortable’ for many years in the relationship? After all, couldn’t this be an opportunity to enrich a relationship and open up lines of communication? Perhaps not, women so often keep quiet just to keep their marriage together, keep the peace or to keep from "rocking the boat." Meanwhile, when we are not talking or voicing our true interests and desires, we are choosing to live with the inner turbulence, inner tug-o-war, inner chatter and recurrent ‘calling’ on our heart’s desires. Is that kind of life preferably better t...

The first crop of cases is the "Hope" line, in which $3 of each of the seven models sold—including the Remix Metal and Sport Armband for iPod nano—will go to the Susan G. The difference between high-quality and low-quality iPod cases is generally apparent pretty quickly: fit and finish, materials, and “feel in the hand” tend to be a lot better on the higher-quality cases.

Netsuke & Inro Really Belong Together!

Netsuke - Japanese netsukes are superb little carvings, mostly made out of ivory or wood, as handling pieces, or toggles. So one good way of judging a good netsuke is to handle it – it should feel very comfortable and interesting, in the hand, having no sharp points Netsuke are often only about an inch high, yet these tiny sculptures are very powerfully carved and so full of character. Each netsuke will always have a couple of linked holes (or a deliberate gap often between a tail or leg) for a cord to be attached so that they could be used as a toggle. They were then most often attached to an inro. Yet there are many collectors that only collect netsuke without owning any inro. Inro and Ojime - So what is an inro? These are finely decorated lacquer containers, consisting of a number of interlocking compartments (often between 3 – 6 sections) all held together on a cord. An ojime (decorative bead) was then threaded onto the cord that once pushed down towards the inro, kept all the comp...

Zen Photography - Being At One with Your Camera

Back in the summer of 1979, I met a man who automatically did everything that was manual with his photography. He set the film speed, shutter speed, and f-stop for every picture he took. While this is not totally unheard of, as far as I could tell he never used a light meter. He was at a point in his life where he was so used to taking pictures that he could "feel" what was right for a given light situation. We were out shooting in the California desert one day when the battery in my camera had died and I had forgotten to pack a spare. He noticed that I stopped taking pictures. Without lifting his eye from the viewfinder, he commented, "Go ahead, it’s about a plus two." I stared at him blankly. I had no idea what he meant. Eventually, he stopped what he was doing and explained. I was shooting ASA speed film of 125, so that was also my starting shutter speed. When shooting totally manual the rule is simple: film speed = shutter speed + f-16. What he told me about ...

Fishing: Tips in fishing for salmons in Alaska

Image
Alaska is known as one of the most bountiful areas with salmon, and is ideal for fishing trips. This is because of extreme tides along the West Coast and the gush of ocean currents that create an environment ideal for the breeding of thousands of baitfish. It is also known as one of the best places to go if one wants to fish for giant King Salmon, the largest specie of salmon fish. The best way to catch these giant salmon (in saltwater) is through trolling or by angling a baited line drawn into the water.

Electric Airsoft Guns: My Passion

I’ve been an avid collector of electric airsoft guns and all different types of bb guns for the majority of my life though the last few years have seen my enthusiasm for collecting wane just a bit. Things like a wedding, the birth of my first child and a promotion at work have eaten up the little free time I once enjoyed. I still love my air guns mind you, these days it’s just a matter of prioritizing things and my love of collecting and shooting usually falls by the wayside as the family must come first. Even with all of the new responsibility I have recently taken on, my new neighbor shares the same passion for air and bb guns that I do. As the last two years have been extremely busy for me I ended up moving all of my guns into storage as I found no time for them, however with my neighbor being so inquisitive as to just how extravagant my collection is I have been bringing a few of my air rifles out to share with him. I’ll be the first to admit too that his collection dwarfs mine and...

PetPlan Pet Insurance

Image
Most pet owners in UK have not arranged pet insurance; to date this peculiarity remains a bit of a mystery. When it comes to looking after our own health needs, we do not forget how important it is; omitting our pets when just about everything else in our lives is insured just doesn't make sense. Considered by many as an unnecessary expense; however, pet owners soon realize that vets bills are costly and it doesn't take much treatment for them to enter into four figure bills. Vet costs have risen tremendously over the last decade; as a consequence pet insurance costs have also increased. The rising cost of protection is one point to consider but are there any others? The problem is that domestic animals are often more liable to be involved in an accident or become sick; when this happens, the cost of treatment may even cause financial strain. There may come a time when you have to consider the cost of medical treatment; Really, you should never have to think about how much it i...

Affiliate Marketing for the Beginners

Those who dabble with online marketing or want to get into this very lucrative industry might have come across the concept of affiliate marketing. Basically, affiliate marketing is a form of online promotion where the ads of one business is published on another site that enjoys good traffic inflow and is not related or owned by the business, the ads of which are being published.

An Affiliate, on the other hand, is one who owns the site where the ads of the merchants get published. Usually an affiliate's site is one that enjoys a reasonably good number of visitors reg...

Calories fat protein and carbs and water in your diet

One gram of protein or of carbohydrate yields 4 calories. One gram of fat gives 9 calories—more than twice as much. Since proteins and carbohydrates in equal amounts yield equal calories, you might think them interchangeable in the diet. Far from it! Temperament counts! The new knowledge of nutrition gives proteins an increasingly important role, especially in reducing diets. It is well worth your while, if you yearn to become a high-stepping, high-protein girl or a gentleman of vigor, to see what the scientists have to say about the role of these energetic food elements in giving you a slim figure. During the World War, thousands of Europeans became overweight from under-nourishment. They weren't really fat. They were waterlogged. Their tissues held fluids in such abnormal amounts that when a fingertip was pressed into the flesh, a pit-like depression remained for some time. They also suffered an emotional depression. No steam, no zest for life, no come-hitherness or even any inte...

Recycling: Are You Building A Wall?

Americans throw away enough paper in a year to build a wall 12 feet high from New York City to Los Angeles. This fact is from earth911.org, a public service Website that focuses on recycling issues. Now that’s a lot of paper! Despite the hype that computer makers fed us a few years ago, the computer has NOT decreased the paper used in most offices today. According to the U.S. Conference of Mayors Clean Your Files Day Program, the average citizen uses 1 ½ pounds of paper per day. The average office employee uses 10,000 sheets of paper per year according to the Environmental Defense Fund. Now that’s just the figures on paper. What about the ink cartridges and cell phones that are tossed into landfills each year. No matter how you slice it, recycling today is big business. Whether it’s glass, paper, plastic, steel, ink cartridges, computers, magazines, cardboard boxes, cell phones or another material, recycling products reduces waste and cost, and saves energy and resources. So why isn’t ...
