By Adrian Watt Although most of the Gamefishing my clients enjoy aboard Bite Me is light to medium tackle, I occasionally get the opportunity to break out the bent butt 80s and go after marlin. Every encounter with these monsters is a learning experience. We have learnt a few things along the way and for what its worth, I will be posting a few examples. You can learn from them, or laugh at them. I recommend both. 2.30pm heading away from the Kadavu Seamount 1. Trolling a spread of 4 lures near the Kadavu seamount A purple Hollowpoint Cabo Killa on the long rigger, and a blue/white/yellow/pink Black Bart Hot Breakfast on the short rigger, both lures with a single 10/0 Stainless steel hook stiff rigged on wire. 19 feet of 400lb wind-on and 9 feet of 300lb Ande leader. Short and long corners were a huge silver / yellow custom MBT Monster and a John Lau Linda, both 12/0 double hook loose shackle rigged at about 45 degrees. (Pakula style) A large blue of about 600lbs comes in from the right, nails the short rigger, (skipper guns the boat) then crosses over and nails the long rigger as that lure passes her as well. Two Penn International 80s howling. The fish then charges away in the opposite direction to the boat on the surface for a few seconds and then disappears. (Pandemonium on deck- is it a double hook-up? Who goes in the chair ? lots of yelling coming from the bridge). Angler standing by each rod till we find out exactly whats going on. (I know I know, immediate failure to comply with IGFA Rules – but you try standing and indefinitely holding a screaming bent butt 80 with 25lbs of drag Hays Handle or not) 5 seconds later the blue emerges only 40 yards behind the boat and launches vertically clean out of the sea giving everybody a magnificent image of a huge blue, side on, silver and golden flanks, 15 feet in the air. The blue seems to hang, suspended in the air whilst 6 jaws hit the deck then crashes back in a fit of anger, throws both lures and disappears. Anglers wind in tangled mess of two lures with both leaders heavily scuffed for several feet ahead of each lure. One of the hooks had its point bent. What went right ? Well, we went to the right place. (had another small blue earlier on a skipbait)We ran the right lures in the right colours. (lures imitating the skipjack tuna and mahi that were in the area)Our hooks were sharpWe gunned the boat after the strike to help set the hook. What went wrong Single hook stiff cable rig is not the way to go. The blue was able to throw both lures. If they had been rigged with a 2 hook loose shackle rig, the trailing hook may have swung over or under the bill and given us a hook-up. If we had still run single hook rigs (because of extra weight killing the lure action) it might have been better if we had not used a stiff wire rig and used heavy mono instead, allowing the hook to swing a little.One of the hooks had its point bent. It had tried to penetrate but the point area, being very sharp, was also thin compared to the gauge of the hook. The line pressure must have been trying to set the hook at an angle to the direction of the hook point and instead of driving the point in, it bent it. In my humble opinion If you are fishing for blue marlin, I recommend a two hook rig or a single hook set well back in the skirt and rigged on heavy mono to give it some flexibility. Yes, a 2 hook rig can pin a marlins jaws shut so you absolutely must remove the hooks and yes- a big mahi mahi on the deck with one hook in its mouth and another flailing around is a nightmare for any deckie but if you are worried about that, go with a single Duratin hook on mono. (we do worry about that) Dont hone your hook points so much so that the point is long and thin. By all means have a sharp point but keep that point length shorter rather than longer. As to whether or not you should use hooks where the point is parallel to the shank (like the Shogun T481 or Maruto 1983) or turned in slightly towards the shank (like the Mustad 7691 or Maruto 1962) ? Jury is still out. I know some skippers use one of each in their large lures with the trailing hook being the turned in style. I suspect that the whole issue of hook rigs in large Marlin lures is a hotbed of discussion. I have posed the question to Tim Simpson, the Editor of BlueWater magazine. It may be that the next issue of the magazine has some interesting comments from professionals such as Peter Pakula. Oh, by the way the Feb/Mar issue has a lead story on the top Blue marlin skippers favourite lures and how they like to rig them.

By Harry Hoover Headers, Tags, and Titles Search engines continue to evolve but there are a few things you still can do to give them a clue about whats on your website. One is to include your keywords in header tags. Additionally, craft a one or two sentence description that explains the content of each page, including some keywords from the page. This should go between the tags. Finally, you should write short, descriptive titles for each page. Dont use the same one for each. Keywords Look at your website copy. Are your keywords in the first paragraph? They should be because that is where the search engines expect to find them. But dont go overboard with keywords. SEO The above tips actually are fairly basic SEO activities, but there are some higher level SEO tactics that will help raise you site above the crowd. Hyperlink your keywords to make them stand out for both search engines and for carbon-based web visitors. Make the linked keyword more noticeable to search engines by linking it to a page that uses the keyword in its address. For example, if you hyperlink the phrase ad agency the page to which it is linked would have ad agency in its address to raise its profile. While were linking, lets make these linked pages truly focused on information about specific keywords. If you really want to place your SEO program on steroids, purchase one of the software packages that helps you analyze each page on your site for its appeal to search engines. Submit There are both search engines and directories where you will want to submit your site. Key search engines for url submission include: Google, Yahoo, MSN Live Search, AOL and Ask. More than 95 percent of search volume happens at these engines. So, dont bother too much with all the small fries. And it is not hard to complete free registration for these engines. Typically, they will have a link that says something like add your URL. There are a number of directories like DMOZ.com where you will want to submit your site, too. And, I think it is worthwhile to pay the $299 at the Yahoo directory. There may also be directories specifically for your industry. Link Develop a linking program where you solicit links from sites that cover the same topics as you. This directs traffic from those sites. Additionally, it tells search engines that you must have something worthwhile on your site if others are linking to you. Write Articles, blogs, news releases – all of these can help you increase your exposure and drive traffic to your primary website. Craft your About The Author box to include your web address. Once your article is picked up by other publishers, this will become a one-way link to your site, possibly helping boost your search engine ranking. Submit your press releases to PRWeb. I get a ton of traffic for myself and clients using this service. Go Email Develop your own e-newsletter, like Think, to help drive repeat traffic to your site. I use nTarget for my email marketing. Then, archive the newsletter on your site. This solid content tells search engines that there is a reason to visit you. Try to get other enewsletter publishers to mention you, consider trading ads with other publishers, or just buying ads outright. Finally, dont underestimate the power of a good email signature to drive site traffic. Give Yourself A Promotion Sponsor contests or develop your own promotions and then submit them to contest directories like Contest Hound. You could give away copies of your book, e-book, or white papers for people who sign up for your newsletter. Give away your product or service to randomly selected registrants. This is a good way to build your list of contacts so you can then drive them back to your site. Pay The Man ReachLocal is my pay-per-click ad engine of choice. If you are truly local, this is a cost-efficient way to reach people in a specific market only. However, you also can launch nationwide campaigns, too. You deal only with ReachLocal and it handles placing and paying for the ads with multiple publishers. It works for budgets of all sizes. Speak Up All right, lets go analog. There is no better way to make a good impression on a large number of people at one time than to deliver a good speech. Be sure to have business cards or some type handout that lists your website. Every time I do a presentation I see a spike in web visits and enewsletter sign-up. Go Offline Look at every printed piece that you have. Is your web address featured prominently? Is it in small type or – horrors not even there! Businesses with fleets of cars and trucks should have the web address on their vehicles. Think about other physical places you can promote your site. Those are my 11 ways. Get to it. Harry Hoover is a partner in ad agency My Creative Team.

By Troy Myers Give Your Child the Moon and The Stars. And throw in Some Planets while youre at it. With Very Bright Glow in the Dark Craft Paints. Easy to do and not hard on the Pocket Book. You have probably heard of people doing it. It sounds pretty neat you thought. But will it really work? The answer is yes! It is very easy and very inexpensive to do also and it looks really cool!! In all m years of messing around with glow in the dark paints and powders probably the number one project I get asked questions about is the stars on the ceiling one. Is it hard to do? How much paint will it take? Where do I get a stencil? Should I use oil or water base paint? The list goes on. In this article I hope to answer all your questions and give you some additional ideas as to what to do with glow in the dark paint. When people think of glow in the dark items they usually think of the cheap novelties green in color and they glow about two minutes. Well hold on to your hats partners because, there is a new breed of glow paint in town that will turn those stars into shooting stars! Now the glow paints that are out there glow 12 hours in some instances. They also come in 8 different colors. Green glows 12 hours and is the longest. Next is Aqua which I recommend for this projects stars it glows 10 hours. Blue, Purple, Yellow, Orange around 4 hours. Red glows around an hour and white around 10 minutes. This is all you need make a whole constellation on you childs ceiling. Plus it is this simple. 1) glow in the dark water base paint (for a room 12 x 12 it should take 8 ounces.) 2) round regular bristle artist paint brush. (I have also heard of people using a sponge. Just make it about the size of a quarter) 3) inch masking tape.(To grid off you areas). 4) Ladder or step or something that will allow you to reach the ceiling easily. (I do mean easily. This takes the best part of an afternoon. So be safe and comfortable.) 5) If you want to add planets you need round cardboard spheres from the craft store. Different sizes. White spray paint. And one ounce each of all the colors of glow paint mentioned above. Also some fishing line to hang the planets from the ceiling and a stapler. 6) I recommend you buy a black light. Black lights are rich in Ultra Violet light which really makes the glow paint glow like crazy. It also helps when you are painting the stars on the ceiling. Heres what you do Take your tape and tape off a three foot by three foot square on the ceiling.Companies sell star stencils but to me using those is crazy. You do not need a pattern. The stars in the sky are all random. If you want to get technical and make it accurate. You will need a constellation map and few thousand hours. Taping in the squares helps keep you in order. The paint (At least GloNation.coms paint is white but glows a aqua blue. This is nice because it will not show up in the day unless your ceiling is not white). Then dab your brush or sponge in the paint and dab away. After you have placed what you feel like are enough stars in that area. Turn off the lights and check your work. It is actually best to do this at night or black out any windows, as ambient light takes away for the glow. This stuff is glow in the dark not glow in the day. If you are happy just repeat in the next square. And so on. To make planets to hang, spray paint your spheres with a white base coat. Then let you creative side come out. Paint them all any way you would like. Muti color same color it does not matter. Here you might want to add a little water base acrylic pigment to you paint to give it a day time color. It will still glow in the dark. I suggest you use a color that is close to the glow color. Attach the fishing line to the spheres with either hot glue or a spapler and hang them. Use hot glue to attach to the ceiling. Troy Myers is an avid crafter and artist. He own http://www.glonation.com a supplier of glow in the dark paint and powder.

By Kenny Yong Cats are pretty engrossed in exploring places. They are active, playful and sometimes destructive little creatures. This is the very reason why cats are oftentimes a problem in keeping a safe and organized house. To preclude cats from spoiling homes, they are given a place outside. There, they can play around, chase other cats and enjoy an outdoor life. Cats that are used to living indoors find it hard to adapt reasonably with the outdoor environment. They long for attention and companionship. Nonetheless, an enclosed environment is not conducive to the dwellers. Thus, the perfect solution is to create an access for the cats to play in the garden. What will keep your pet cats inside your boundaries? What will keep stray cats away? The ultimate answer to your dilemma is a cat-proof garden fence. Giving your cats an enclosed environment aside from the home itself has several advantages. The topmost advantage is the security. Even if cats are outside, they are still free from the opportunity to run over. With a suitable garden fence, your cats will be shunned from digging up your neighbors precious plants. Your cats are also protected from being injured by predators such as dogs. The garden fence shuns the two dangerous possibilities of preventing cats from going outside your territory and inviting other cats to enter and ruin your garden. You have to take advantage of the security and protection that a fitting garden fence can offer. Gardens vary in shape and size. Thus, what may be practical and easy to work on one may be difficult to another. Nevertheless, you have to be adept in creating a safe haven for your cats at the same time be wary of the security measures. To make a cat-proof garden fence, you will need materials according to your preferred fence. Also scout for availability of garden fence materials. It will be less costly, if you will choose those materials that are widely available. You can choose from, bricks, wood or cement. The use of trellis sections can augment the look of your garden fence. Be sure that the materials you use are not toxic to your pets. In constructing a garden fence, it is better to start with good planning. Follow your states regulations in building fences. In that way, you will be free from legal hassles. Your garden fence must have an escape-proof system. There are diverse methods of doing this. These methods include using stretcher wires, brackets and frameworks. Moreover, you have to make a choice whether to make your garden fence fixed or flexible. All wire fencing or netting must be vigilantly erected. They must be secured through weaving a lightweight stretcher wire through the mesh. Another method is to tie the mesh to the stretcher wire at standard intervals. Enclosure using a garden fence will help you do away with the usual problems in connection with cats. Your garden can be the perfect haven for your cats. Be sure to give them safety that is due them. Provide them whatever type of enclosure but let them have their freedom and enjoyment. Moreover, be bothered no more by the destructive nature of cats.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Joseph_Kenny]Joseph Kenny If you need money now, but have been repeatedly turned down for unsecured personal loans, you may still be able to get the cash you need with a secured bad credit loan. A secured loan is one in which you offer something as ‘collateral’ to guarantee your repayment of the loan. If you don’t repay the loan within a specified period of time, the lender has the right to take possession of the collateral and sell it to recover their money. Secured loans are designed to help those with poor or no credit get the loans that they need. Additionally, because the security deposit (another name for collateral) guarantees that your lender will be able to recover his money – most lenders will extend loans with lower interest rates than the same loan with no security. The most common types of collateral are real estate or automobiles, though it can be anything that is equal or greater value than the amount that you borrow. In most cases, you don’t give up physical possession of your car or home – you can go on driving it or living in it as long as you continue making your payments on the loan. Instead, you sign a note that gives the lender a legal right to the title or the deed to your car or home. If you default on the loan – don’t make the payments that you’ve agree to make – then the lending agency can take possession of your property. If it’s an automobile, it’s commonly called repossession. For real estate, it’s called a foreclosure. In either case, the lending agency has the right to sell your property in order to recover their loan. While autos and real estate are the most common types of collateral, some lenders will lend money with jewelry, coins or other collectibles or other types of vehicles. Most often, if you secure a loan with an item like jewelry or collectibles, the lending agency will take possession of the item until the loan is repaid. How to find a secured loan if you have bad credit Many lenders – banks in particular – don’t deal in any sort of secured loan other than second mortgages. Other institutions deal almost exclusively in secured loans. Finance companies that deal in secured loans can be found in your phone book, newspaper, and increasingly, online. Shop around and compare interest rates on loans and the terms of repayment with several different lenders. You’ll find many internet sites that let you request a loan rate quote from multiple lenders at once. Once you’ve submitted a request for a loan quote, you’ll be contacted by representatives from several companies and can get a good idea of what each can offer you in terms of interest and other finance charges and fees. Choose the best one for your needs, and apply for the loan. It’s that easy.

By Michael Russell While once toted as experimental and vastly alternative medicine, acupuncture is increasingly making its way into mainstream healing. But what exactly is acupuncture, what does it do and what can it heal? Acupuncture derives from a 16th century Chinese medicinal practice. Not for the faint of heart, acupuncture involves stainless steel needles being inserted into your fourteen major “energy channels”. The basic premise for this practice is that illness derives from an imbalance in one’s energy. Stimulating these various channels will restore that balance and consequently your health. There is also a theory that by inserting these needles into “acu-points”, it increases the release of pain blocking agents known as endorphins. The most common question on every prospective patient’s mind is almost always “Does it hurt?” One might feel a small prick when the needle is first inserted, but it will not be a large sensation of pain due to the extreme thinness of the needles. (It will hurt far less than an injection, for example.) After the needles have been inserted, one might also feel a sense of mild soreness, numbness or tingling in the muscles. Some forms of acupuncture involve twirling the needles. Another form couples the needles with electric energy. It is common to feel a tingling sensation when this type of acupuncture is utilized. However, as with any procedure, if you ever feel uncomfortable or in pain, inform your practitioner and treatments will be altered or stopped. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective when dealing with chronic pain. Many people have cited acupuncture as aiding them with headache pain, menstrual related pain such as cramps or generally persistent muscle aches (located anywhere from the neck to the back to the shoulders). There have even been documented cases where acupuncture has assisted in breaking extremely powerful addictions such as seen with nicotine. As successful as this technique has been found to be, there is a risk in assuming it is a kind of cure-all. Has acupuncture been found to improve the health of some people? Quite frankly, yes, but a patient should never assume it’s a miracle. For instance, some people use acupuncture to treat the pain associated with cancer. There has even been some success on this front, but that is when acupuncture is coupled with other more “traditional” methods of cancer treatment such as surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. Another common question and concern with acupuncture is the issue of safety. So long as the entirety of the procedure is performed in a sterile location with a licensed practitioner, the incident rate and list of complications are minimal. However, as with any medical procedure, it should never be entered into without some thought and consideration. If you are considering acupuncture, consult your doctor. He/she can further explain the details and can probably even recommend a knowledgeable and competent practitioner. The major benefit of acupuncture is that it is completely drug-free. Many painkillers that people would normally use are extremely habit-forming, meaning it is easy to become addicted. For this reason, it may be necessary to keep upping the amount of medication needed to get the desired result. None of these issues are present with acupuncture. As it breaks further and further into the medical community’s good graces, it is even becoming more commonly covered by major insurance companies and thus more immediately affordable.

By Alberta McKain Can Stress cause weight gain? Stress and weight loss are linked. Emotions influence our hormones which in turn influence our emotions which influence our eating habits. The hormone adrenaline is released when we are frightened, excited or anxious.Adrenaline tends to speed up our metabolic rate, the release of this hormone is likely to promote weight loss. Although,long term stress can have the opposite effect for weight loss. The hormone cortisol, released when we are stressed, can increase fat storage, especially in the abdominal area. As a conclusion, short bursts of stress may help you to lose weight, but long term stress can make you overweight. Since our neuro-endocrine system doesn’t know what to do in stress situations, it responds to stress with the hormonal signal to replenish nutritional stores, which may make you feel hungry and overeat. Stress and Weight Loss The Mind Over Matter When you are stressed, you have an impulse to do something, to move, and often, eating becomes the activity that relieves the stress. It’s very easy to do and it’s also comforting. Heres what the experts recommend: 1. Exercise when you are stressed. Yoga, meditation, stretching, weight training and cardiovascular exercise are all good stress relieving activities that you can perform for stress relieving.These types of exercises are also very good for weight loss because you burn calories by exercising.The answer is to choose the activity that you really enjoy doing. 2. Eat a balanced diet and don’t skip meals. Eat breakfast and try to consume six small rather than three larger meals every day, with foods from all the food groups,especially healthy ones.This helps in keeping blood sugar levels steady, which in turn put a damper on insulin production and eventually reduce cortisol levels,all helping to control appetite and also promote weight loss. 3. You must sleep enough,don’t lose sleep, over your stress and weight loss problems,when you don’t get enough rest, cortisol levels rise, making you feel hungry and less satisfied with what you eat. 4. Take time for relaxation. This because it works much like exercise to produce brain chemicals that counter the effects of stress and promote weight loss,its best finding the activities that make you feel relaxed and calm. For some people, yoga can help very much. Others may prefer meditation techniques or deep breathing techniques. Never underestimate the relaxing power of sitting up or under a sofa with a good book or magazine, or even watching your favorite movie. Anything that makes you feel calm and relaxed will help counter the biochemical effects of stress. 5. When snacking,choose whole grain or high fiber foods. Try eating foods high in fiber and low in sugar, like oatmeal, whole wheat bread, or fruits such as pears or plums. Foods that are high in sugar and simple carbohydrates,like white flour, cookies, cake, white rice, or pasta, cause insulin levels to rise.This increases stress hormones and makes you feel more hungry. 6. Avoid caffeine, cigarettes and alcohol at all costs. If you are going through a lot of stress, stay away from alcohol, caffeine, tobacco and junk food. These are foods with no nutritional value,they are not good at all. According to the American Institute of Stress, cigarettes, caffeine soft drinks, coffee, tea, and even chocolate, can cause cortisol levels to rise, stress to increase, blood sugar to decrease and hunger to appear resulting in a slower weight loss. The institute also cautions against drinking too much alcohol, which can affect blood sugar and insulin levels and its also very high in calories. 7. Take some vitamin supplements. Many medical studies have shown that stress can deplete important nutrients ,particularly the B complex and C vitamins, and sometimes the minerals calcium and magnesium. These nutrients are needed to balance the effects of stress hormones like cortisol, and may even play a good role in helping us burn fat, it’s important to keep nutrient levels high. While a good diet will help, taking a multi-vitamin supplement can insure you give your body what it needs to deal with the stress and also burn fat and lose weight. Massage is another method that is very effective in reducing stress in your body . The massage helps the body get rid of toxins released into your blood stream when you are stressed. Increasing your protein intake by eating protein more often will help your body deal better with stress. There are some herbal supplements that can help you when you are going through stressful times. Chamomile is a calming herb available in tea form. Valerian root is another relaxing herb that comes in pill form. Kava was very popular for a while as a natural relaxation supplement. There are also herbal combination supplements that are not harmful to your body. A good B-complex supplement always helps you feel better if you are verystressed. Taken in the morning and in the evening the B vitamins complex will nourish your nervous system. And speaking about stress and weight loss,heres one piece of information thay you may be happy to hear: Experts are saying you shouldnt go on a strict diet when youre under extreme or chronic stress. Severely limiting calorie intake could modify many biochemical events that not only increase stress levels, but can also make you feel hungry. Alberta McKain is nutritionist woman who used to be fat. After testing tens of so-called “wonder diets” she decided to create a Weight Loss Programs Review Website, containing a top of the 3 best programs with a brief description about their features and benefits. Visiting the website will help you make a wise decision. www.LoseWeightFast.999answers.com Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Alberta_McKain http://EzineArticles.com/?Stress-And-Weight-Loss&id=306320 fast title loan quick student loan payday loan virginia no credit personal loan

By Eric Morris Social anxiety disorder is characterized by a persistent fear of any kind of social interactions and the feeling of intense embarrassment or humiliation, apparently without reason. The patients of this disorder are always anxious of being judged poorly by others and as a result start avoiding social interaction completely. Whenever such people face any situation where interaction with others cannot be avoided, they suffer extreme anxiety and nervousness. In chronic cases such people start showing extreme symptoms even when they anticipate a social situation. This anxiety is manifested in external physical symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, trembling, flushing or blushing. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate the normal social anxiety that every individual feels to some extent from this chronic condition. Everyone has some degree of social anxiety in them, yet when such anxiety becomes so overriding that the person starts avoiding all social interactions as a result of his anxiety and the physical symptoms cause him distress beyond natural parameters, it is clear that it is a result of this disorder. Most often, close family members or friends can recognize this, since they have a better perspective of the patients suffering. Social anxiety disorder can be classified into three different types. First is a performance-oriented social anxiety disorder that affects a person only when he is performing in front of an audience, as when giving public speeches, or presentations. The second type of this disorder is a general social anxiety disorder where a person is unnaturally anxious in various social situations like parties, meetings and interviews. The third and most chronic type is avoidant personality disorder, which is more common in males than females and starts usually at a very young age. Such people are able to make very few friends and often opt not to get married. These people avoid all opportunities for social interactions and live with a constant fear of being ridiculed and judged by all around them. Social Anxiety Disorder provides detailed information on Social Anxiety Disorder, Cause Of Social Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder Symptoms, Social Anxiety Disorder Medications and more. Social Anxiety Disorder is affiliated with Anxiety Treatment.

By Constance Weygandt We are a society who eats, not only for nourishment, but for a variety of emotional reasons. Some of those emotions are sadness, fatigue, nervousness, boredom or stress. Another reason we eat is for the reward. Weve had a bad day and now we deserve that ice cream, brownie, etc. While the optimal solution would be to retrain our minds to think of food as only nourishment, it is not a practical one. The following are simple steps, that taken together or individually, will allow us to indulge our emotions without adding to our waistlines. 1. Analyze your weakness and control portions. Some of us favor sweets, others comfort food and still others are major meat eaters. Find your preference and whatever it is, cut your normal portion in half. Keep the number of portions the same,one small bar of candy instead of one large bar. 2. Go out to indulge. Dont keep snack food in the house. If you really want that donut, ice cream, etc., go to the store and buy one serving. This helps to stop the reflexive hand to mouth action of immediate gratification. If you really want that treat and are willing to stop what you are doing to go and get it, then I say “Go for it.” 3. Have a hot drink with a sweet. Snuggling up with a warm cup of tea or decaf coffee is relaxing itself. Have your sweet with a warm drink and enjoy the feeling of relaxation. This can also be a help in controlling the number of snacks eaten. 4. Set a specific place and time for rewards. Dont grab your snacks on the run. Dont eat in front of the TV. Do find a quiet place at a time of day when you can savor your treat. If you are going to choose those calories, make it worthwhile. 5. Tell yourself that you can have it. If you focus on what you cannot have, you are focused on what you cannot have. This is self-defeating. There are times when we overindulge. During the holidays, for example, we are surrounded by a cornucopia of goodies everywhere we turn. If you overindulge, you are not alone. Move on. Stay guilt free. Guilt only leads to such emotions as sadness, self-loathing, anger, fatigue and stress. Now we are back where we began, emotional eating. When you follow one or more of these steps, keep in mind that a reward is something that we give to ourselves because we feel that we deserve it or have earned it. It is not a habit.

By Milos Pesic Accidents are found to be the leading cause of death in children. Furthermore, there are basically four major causes of accidental deaths. Your child safety guides therefore, should contain materials relating to water safety, traffic safety, fire safety, and gun safety. Deaths from drowning do not go down to less than 1,500 every year. This is not counting adults yet. This leading cause of child-death is usually misunderstood by parents. Reading up on child safety guides will tell you that it is a myth to think that children will make noise if they are almost drowning. It is not true at all times that kids splash around. Oftentimes, they are too panicked to figure out what to do that most of them drown in silence. They can also drown even in a bucket full of water. Even if youre a medical practitioner with years of CPR training, awareness gained from child safety guides can help you more to prevent it from happening. Buckle up. This is one of the child safety guides that we hear so often, its amazing how people forget. Maybe some do not really forget, they are just too optimistic that nothing can go wrong. But this time, optimism is not at all encouraged. Babies need their car seats and young children need to use their seat belts even if there are adults seating in the car with them. Air bags do provide protection, but they are not to be used as an alternative to seat belts. These are mainly designed for adults, so kids are not safe near an active air bag. Child safety guides would tell you that the safest place for children to sit in the car is in the back seat, regardless if the car has no active air bags. Educating children with the child safety guides will make them aware of possible dangers resulting from playing with things like matches. Let them know how a match work and what it can do. Store them in places that children wont have access to. Do not let them go near stoves, fireplace, or lighted candles even for the briefest moment. It is not wise to let them fumble with electrical cords or sockets. Satisfy their curiosity by answering their questions and feeding them information about the hazards of fire. Some people own guns for protection. However, owning one takes a lot of responsibility. There are a lot of child safety guides that would tell you how to avoid the ugly consequences of having a gun in the house. What you thought could offer protection for you and your family could very well be the one that you will be most scared of in the end. Unless you can perfectly guarantee it wont get into the hands of your children some day, accept the fact that guns and kids dont mix.
