Find More Time to Study With Better Home Time Management

By Mary Segers

Finding time to study is critical to success in college. But you didn't need me to tell you that did you? I think that's probably the number one complaint of students... especially nontraditional students who have a family and job vying for the same time slots.

This article is going to help you find more time to study with better home time management.

First, it's important that you understand 3 things:

1. Activities can be classified as unnecessary or necessary
2. Stop wasting time on the unnecessary ones
3. Save time doing the necessary ones

1.) Unnecessary or necessary

A big problem that keeps students from studying as much as they need to is that they don't separate unnecessary activities from the necessary ones. Or, even if they are somewhat conscious that they need to, the balance of activities is way off, i.e., they do 1 necessary to 3 unnecessary activities.

Necessary activities include spending time with your spouse and kids, cooking meals, cleaning, and studying.

Unnecessary ones include watching TV, checking email, chatting with friends, and surfing the net.

2.) Stop wasting time on the unnecessary ones

It's absolutely amazing how much time we can just piddle away. When I was a smoker I smoked a pack and a half per day. One day, just out of the blue, I decided to figure out how much time I spent just on the act of smoking. Now, I didn't smoke in the house so I'd just take a quick smoke break out on one of the porches with a book so it was an actual break from whatever I was doing.

I did the calculations, did them again, asked someone to double-check me, and then finally accepted the numbers.

Are you ready for this? I wasted 5 hours per day on smoke breaks (a 10 minute break for each one).

Yeah, I'd call that a vast amount of time.

I began making flash cards or creating study sheets and when I'd take a cigarette break I'd study that for the 10 minutes. It gave me a break from whatever else I was studying and gave me plenty of extra time studying that.

You could also use those flash cards or study sheet when you're stuck in traffic, waiting at the doctor's office, in line at the grocery store, waiting for the pasta water to boil... you get the idea.

Even someone who smokes the average one pack a day could get back 3.3 hours of study time. (Or, better yet quit... like I eventually did.)

Not that I ever really cared for TV but, as far as that huge time-waster is concerned, I pretty much quit watching any show not recorded. For those that were recorded I could then watch them when I made the time available.

3.) Save time doing the necessary ones

For those things you can't quit doing, in order to find more time to study, you simply must use better home time management in order to save time doing them.

Plan the week ahead and include your spouse and kids in those plans. Create menus based on your family's tastes and time available, and create a cleaning routine that fits your family, your time available, and your tolerance level.

Follow these suggestions and you'll find you have lots more time to study.

If you're desperate to find more time to study then check out my program guaranteed to save you hours of time on those necessary activities of Time Management in the Home. You'll be able to get better meals... ones your family will love... a better kept home, and STILL more time for studying. Also, visit my website... Mary Segers for a brief synopsis of my available programs ranging from single mp3's covering a specific topic such as menus, cooking, or housecleaning, to bundled programs focusing on different aspects such as home or relationships, to group coaching programs. A ton of help is available there.

What Is the Difference Between Love and Infatuation?

By Ernest Mwaba

If you have gone through infatuation, then you also know the signs associated with it. Many people even say that infatuation is more painful than love when subjected to certain conditions. The signs that constitute real love and infatuation are very similar, and they are easily mixed up. How can you differentiate between love and infatuation?

Infatuation strikes like a fire

One unmistakable fact about infatuation is that it strikes like a blazing flame. The passion associated with it can cause you to start thinking about that person from time to time and wherever you are. Even with infatuation, the lovers are ready to go to certain unique depths just to keep the relationship. In most cases, people even end up getting married before coming out of that mindset. Infatuation is easily mistaken for love because when it strikes, it is very determined to challenge its barriers to its conclusive end.

Unmistakable differences between the two

The commonest reason that differentiates love from infatuation is the longevity. A person who is under infatuation has a time frame within which the blazing relationship can continue flourishing. But after that, displays of affection start diminishing until they finally disappear. In contrast, love normally has the following qualities:

• Stands the test of time and challenges: Real love lasts even after the passing on of one of the lovers. But infatuation is short lived
• Selfless, genuine and honest: True love does its best to look for the other person's interests. But infatuation focuses on personal benefits mainly.
• Mature and responsible: Love acts in a mature and responsible way remembering that the actions of today affect tomorrow. Infatuation does not care about tomorrow unless some selfish interest will be affected.
• Always Forgiving: True love and forgiveness and inseparable. Where there is true love, the partners are always forgiving and ready to look beyond mere differences in opinion. But infatuation seeks such opportunities.
• Caring and self-sacrificing: Where there is love, partners easily show tender care for one another. They are always ready to make sacrifices for each other.
• Does not discriminate in any way: It does not matter whether the lovers are coming from different races, languages, countries, regions or religious backgrounds, love always succeeds. But infatuation does not easily allow for such.

The sure way to test love

When there is true love, it is easy to see its fruits being exchanged between the lovers. In fact, many people say that true love is like pregnancy because it cannot be hidden. The lovers stick together in all seasons, and they are ready to stand by each other for life. That is why love is always patient. Therefore, patience is one of the measures you can use to verify whether your love is genuine or not. If there is infatuation involved, your lover will be in a hurry to get their selfish benefits out of the relationship and abandon you. It is also easy to know true love by focusing on the actions displayed by the lovers, and the motivating reasons behind such actions. In most cases, you will see selfishness in practice or a self-sacrificing spirit at work when you pay attention.

Opening the Pathway to Real Love

By Steve Wickham

God, the giver of all good and perfect gifts, gave me this very recently. It is to be read in the first person, i.e. as if I am saying this directly to myself:

My hurts are usually more about my own stuff and less about the stuff I think others are 'hurting' me with.

I do consider this a gem of God's wisdom, as it was given to me, without thought on my account. I simply wrote the words down as the sentence arrived.

This is, of course, something I received for personal edification, but I've found the more I have written on these issues, the more God has been prepared to instruct me these ways with a purpose for sharing. Let's consider what this might mean for all of us in general.

THE PROXIMITY OF GOD AND OUR BROKENNESS

God is closer to us, in the mode of our being, than we readily think.

God reminds us of the distance from love our hearts are at in many of the hurts we are hurt by. When we are hurt, we are not experiencing the closeness of Presence of God's love. This doesn't involve the hurts of life like loss, abuse and neglect - everyone is hurt by these things. These hurts transcend our ability to cope.

But if we are hurt by people, God is using the hurt to remind us how far we still are from the essence of true love: a thing that can neither hurt nor be hurt. We think of Jesus, and though we are grossly imperfect in comparison, we know that he never hurt people nor was hurt (to the point of responding in aggression).

If Jesus is our goal can we settle for less than striving for his perfect best?

Our hurt comes from the distressed inner child within each of us, when brokenness was truly experienced for the first time, raw, and in the moment. We were reliant on others and they betrayed that reliance. It happens to every human being, because, no matter how good our parents and caregivers were, they made mistakes that affected us. Additionally, we must contend also with the broken nature of our carnal selves.

So, whilst God is close, so too is our brokenness. We can be led to love beyond hurt, or equally we can be led to remain in hurt, or shrink back in it, and thereby never gain access to love which transcends the effect of the hurt.

AGREEING UPON A HORRIBLE TRUTH

Many will be vociferous about this: when we are hurt relationally, not including losses and significant abuse and neglect, like, when we have an option to not be hurt, there are unreconciled hurts within us to be dealt with. It's our responsibility; being hurt is most often an excuse for not tackling the real transformative work God wants to get on with, within us.

Those easiest to hurt are those who are still hurting within; still battling the demons of childhood, to some extent.

Another way of looking at it is, if we have a safe sense of self we are not so much threatened by the hurt others inflict. We don't respond unpredictably. And we can absorb hurts. A safe sense of self is close proximity to love, and love begets grace-filled responses.

The horrible truth for each of us is that where we are easily hurt, there, and there alone, is our starting point to seek God's Spirit in commencing the healing process. The issue of hurt is not so much about what people say against us, or who they are, or how despicable they are, but it's about our response.

Being hurt, this way, is seen as a boomerang; God is showing us where we have the opportunity to mature further. We often cannot become more mature unless we are prepared to grapple with the hurts of childhood in seeking to become transformed, more and more, as disciples of Jesus.

***

Being easily hurt within relationships can be a sign that we are at a distance from receiving God's love. Our Lord wants to take us to a closer proximity to love, where we are neither easily hurt nor can we hurt.

When love is playing a rich role in our lives we absorb hurts most readily.

Health Benefits of Drinking Coffee

By Alan K Cunningham

Coffee is one of the world's most popular drinks. Surprisingly, it didn't get there through its virtues, but for a couple of other reasons. If you are like most of us,you may have started drinking coffee to help stay awake and alert especially when first getting up in the morning. However, with every scientific study, hidden health benefits of drinking coffee have been reported.

When it comes to coffee, there is certainly much good news than bad news. The evidence is more profound, in fact medical experts are continually softening the positions they initially held on consuming coffee. Below are some of the top benefits that scientists think drinking coffee can provide;

Recent studies (at least 5) have shown that consuming coffee decreases the risk of mortality in both men and women of all ethnical backgrounds. A good example is a large-scale 14-year study carried out on at least 400,000 people who showed the more coffee a person drank, the lower their mortality risk. In the study, men who took 2 to 3 cups of the drink had their mortality risk reduced by 10%, while those who drank 4 to 5 cups each day had their mortality risk reduced by about 12%.

Researchers have continually linked better heart health to drinking healthy coffee. This was definitely unheard of about fifty years ago. The documentation is that the beverage considerably reduces the risk of heart disease and also reduces chances of death resulting from heart attack. For instance, a researcher called Elizabeth Motofosky, MPH, ScD, from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre and some of her colleagues confirmed that a cup of coffee is good for your heart, when taken moderately.

The beverage - coffee, has useful antioxidants that help in raising and improving cholesterol. Coffee consumption raises good HDL cholesterol at the same time lowering inflammation that may lead to heart disease. To prove this point, researchers asked coffee drinkers to increase their intake to 4 cups a day and then to 8 cups. The results? Improved ratio between bad LDL to good HDL by about 8%.

A study carried out by investigators from Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Institute and Harvard University proved that reduced risk of stroke is achieved when drinking coffee, even decaffeinated coffee. This is because of the valuable antioxidants contained in coffee. Drinking healthy coffee resulted in a 10% reduction in the risk of stroke when compared to soda, another popular drink.

Drinking coffee, especially coffee with ganoderma extract reduces the risk of various forms of cancer that include, colon, prostrate, breast, stomach, endometrial and pancreatic cancer. Ganoderma lucidum is mushroom known by the Chinese as the miraculous king of herbs. The most potent type is the organically grown and harvested form.The antioxidants, caffeic and chlorogenic, contained in coffee are what are most responsible for the benefits of consuming coffee. Over 67,000 women observed in a study demonstrated that those who took more than 4 cups of coffee a day had a 25% lower risk of endometrial cancer than those who did not take the drink.

The health benefits of coffee with 100% certified organic ganoderma extract outweighs any possible side effects of other forms of coffee out there.

Guest Blogging - Discover How To Get Big Time Traffic To Your Sites

By Patrick William Shelley

So, you have a website and you'd love to have it literally hopping with traffic right!

Maybe it's even a site where you have it monetized and would like to make some money from it.

Great, there are many ways to drive traffic but few can equal the laser targeted, niche specific traffic that guest blogging can.

What is guest blogging? This is where you write an article or make a video for another website (in essence a blog post) that they can put on their site to give great content to their readers. You in turn get to put a link back to your site where interested readers can click and go to your site or offer.

The value to the site owner is that you are coming in as an outside expert in your field or possibly thought of in a celebrity type status and are adding content to their site. Just like all those talk shows where one of the talk show hosts has a famous actor, comedian, scientist, doctor or athlete on the show and people tune in to see what that person has to say.

You become the outside expert on the subject and you usually validate many of the things the blog owner has been preaching to their readership. You also bring in fresh new information and or a new perspective on many of the same subjects. This is a big time win for the blog owner because they get free content and a chance to mail their list with something exciting like, we have XYZ authority in our niche writing an article just for you.

The value to you is that you get published on a high traffic blog with a big readership who now thinks of you as an expert in your field.

You can get published on blogs in the same exact niche that you're in with a link back for them to visit your site. This is of course some of the best traffic you can possibly get. Just think about that for a moment. As an example let's say you're in the weight loss niche and you have a site getting 100 visitors per day. How great would it be if you could get published on a blog that has 2,000 readers a day and your article or video stays on the front page for 7 days?

That would mean that 14,000 people will see your guest blog post in just the 1st week and over the course of the next several weeks and months still thousands more will see it. Now let's also say that 25% of the readers clicked over to your site to check you out. That would equal 3,500 new people in just the 1st week. That's more that your site normally gets in a month.

Now let's also say that you guest blog on one new site every day five days a week. Are you starting to see the power in this?

Capitalizing On Your New Traffic

Likely the very best thing you can do to take advantage of this huge tidal wave of traffic is to get them on your list. Why? Well, because if all they do is come over and visit ONE TIME that's not all that great for you. Sure it's a big help and if you're properly monetized you will get some pretty nice sales from that. But when you build your list with these people you of course get to market to them over and over again for years and years to come.

Which one is better; getting the sale one time and then you never hear from that person again or Getting the sale AND getting them on your list so that you can market related products to them for as long as they stay subscribed? Well of course, building your list is the obvious choice.

How Do You Get Guest Blogging Gigs?

There are several ways you can get all the guest blogging gigs you will ever want.

One really easy way is to simply Google your niche and then ad +blog to the end of your query.

Here are a few examples: Let's say that your niche is auto shows you would simply enter your Google search like this: auto shows + blog Yes, that's it, and (I intentionally left off the period at the end of that last sentence so you would not mistake it as part of your query string, I'm not that bad at punctuation). Or let's say for one more example that you niche is Dog training. You will simply enter your search query like this: dog training + blog and you should come up with tons of them.

Then all you need to do is contact them with your offer to guest blog. You can create one email one time and just modify it with the name of the blog you're contacting etc... each time before you press send. You may have to contact 2 to 5 to get one yes but that's pretty much normal. If you're sending out ten and only getting one yes then you had better look at your email because it likely needs revision.

You can easily get the email address from the contact us form on most people's sites. If not just copy and paste your email request into the contact us form itself and send it that way. In truth the contact us form may be the best way to go because you don't have to worry about spam filters and they nearly always get opened. If you can't find either of those two then you can generally find their email on the whois sites. Just Google whois and put in the URL for their site, you will come up with the contact data for the site owner or sometimes their legal contact. If it's their legal contact leave it alone, don't pursue it because you're wasting your time, they will almost always never pass it on to the owner.

A Couple Of Tips

Always write guest blogging posts of the highest quality. Because you are getting new people to your site this way and it's their first impression of you. Plus, this is a way for you to gain credibility in your chosen niche. Think about it. You have a small to medium sized site and you are commenting on a site 10 to 100 times your sites size, this extends your reach and credibility rather dramatically wouldn't you say!

Always find things to promote that are 100% under your control. What does that really mean? Well, if you promote an affiliate offer whether it's Amazon or hundreds of other ones out there or you promote CPA (cost per action) offers or even Google AdSense you are at their mercy. You see, they can and often do change or discontinue products or close people's accounts and sometimes just withhold commissions or in CPA scrub your leads.

What you can do about this is turn it all in your favor plus discover the secret to everlasting business profits. How in the world do you do that? Simple you uncover the secret to finding any product you want for the best possible wholesale price any time you want with just the click of your mouse. Imagine the immense possibilities if you knew the inside information of where to find the wholesaler for nearly any product you could ever dream of right at your fingertips and just a click or two away.

Benefits of Having Targeted Website Traffic

By Jose Martin Benares

Online merchant and business sites are always in need of targeted website traffic. Before search engine optimization was in place, the World Wide Web was a haven of untargeted visits. Online businesses did not thrive because there were a lot of visitors but none or relatively few were interested in their products. Today, they are thankful that SEO can provide the targeted website traffic they need to stay in business.

The importance of having targeted website traffic is pretty easy to understand. People who are selling a specific product will only get purchases from people interested to buy that product. If the people who visit your site were expecting something else or arrived there by accident, that is a sign of poor internet marketing. It is nice to get lots of visitors but it is pointless if they just browse for a while and do not buy anything.

Around fifty percent of the people online know where to go to find something they need. If they want to read news, they will just enter the website of their local newspaper. For movie updates, they will just go to the website of their favorite mall. Sometimes, knowledge of these sites is passed verbally or in writing. You can find sites that cater to a specific need by asking your friends, reading on forums or watching advertisements on television.

The other fifty percent turn to search engines if they need something. This is what targeted website traffic capitalizes on. Your site should be there on top when a prospective buyer searches the right keywords. This is important because once he finds a good site that satisfies his needs, he will no longer turn to search engines. That client will instantly bookmark the site and stick with it. You want your site to be the one people see frequently and return to.

Targeted website traffic will also lessen the bounce rate of your pages. This statistic is important to those who analyze the activity they receive. Bounce rate reflects the amount of visitors on your site and checks if they stay.

The bounce rate is preferably fifty percent or lower. A higher bounce rate means that visitors only glimpse your page and then move on to another. Targeted website traffic will reflect a good bounce rate because the people you led to the site are genuinely interested. They will want to know more about your product and your company. This will lead them to check various pages on your site like the about us, product catalog, contact us and others.

You will also notice a substantial increase in page rank if you have targeted website traffic. Traffic is considered targeted if you did not mislead the viewers to your site. If this is the case, people will frequent your site more and maybe even bookmark it.

The reason misleading people will not lead to targeted viewers is because they will arrive at your site expecting something else. This is usually accomplished by using incorrect keywords and linking it to your site. Doing this usually aggravates individuals and will make them think of your site as spam.

FASTING AND WEIGHT LOST

BY Anonymous

Fasting - 95% OF Dieters Fail - Fasting Will ENSURE You Beat The Odds!

If we control our appetite, our weight is automatically controlled and that's exactly what fasting will teach you - How to control your appetite.

95% of people who start dieting give up and put on weight.

This is due to being unable to control appetite - Learn to control your appetite through fasting and you succeed in healthy weight control.

Let's look how fasting can help you lose weight.

As we have said only 5% of people who go on a diet and lose weight keep the weight off for five years or more.

What happens to the other 95%? They remain fat or get fatter.

Is it that the diets don't work? Yes and no.

The diets work, we don't.

We lack the discipline to control our diets and eventually slip back to old habit patterns.

There was plenty of dieting in the Bible. It was called fasting.

Fasting is simply the restriction of our usual eating.

Whether a fruit fast or a water fast or a fast from meat, or beef or sweets, fasting is a restriction of our food, a diet.

People have had the same temptations and weaknesses throughout recorded history.

Food has always been one of those weaknesses and fasting is a way to overcome the weakness for food.

The benefit of fasting is not just in weight loss.

A water fast will result in an average of 1 to 2 pounds per day of weight loss. But that is not the benefit of fasting for weight loss.

"I think that will benefit me," you may say, especially if you are overweight. But that is not the main reason for fasting.

Fasting can actually make you fatter.

The power of fasting is not in losing weight during the fast, but in gaining control of your appetite, which is the REAL problem to healthy weight control.

During a fast, the body burns its own fat.

As the body burns fat, it eliminates toxins and cleanses itself.

First, after several days, your metabolism slows down.

The body slows its metabolism approximately 20% after several days on a fast.

Medical science describes this as a survival mechanism. If the body is not getting food, then it slows down so that it needs less food.

This way, you can live much longer with no food if your body slows down.

Second, your digestive system is cleaner.

The villi in the intestines are cleaner, the stomach lining is cleaner, and the colon is cleaner.

If the lungs are clogged, the intestines coated with filth, the colon stopped up, the blood thick and sluggish, fat surrounding the heart and in the arteries, the body is running inefficiently.

A fast simply cleans up the body.

When you combine those two elements, a cleaner more efficient body with a slower metabolism, you need less food for the same level of activity.

Food is absorbed and utilized better in a clean digestive system.

Fasting will allow you to gain control of your appetite and you will gain the power of self-control after you have completed a long fast.

You may not get the self-control that you seek on your first fast.

But, do you master anything else on your first try?

Fasting on a periodic basis allows a person to gradually gain control over their appetite and this is the key to healthy weight control.

You will find that you are not hungry when you end your fast (after three days, hunger usually abates).

You are as not hungry and have control over what you eat and that is the main benefit of fasting.

You will no longer comfort eat or eat for the sake of eating. Your appetite will be controlled and you will eat less and not be hungry and gain control over your weight.

How To Earn $1000 Online Fast

By: Willie Crawford

Almost every day, I get at least one email or phone call from a subscriber or potential client who is in a financial bind. Often they need $1000 or more for rent or car payments within the next few days. They're looking for me to give them a quick-fix solution, so that they can then focus on building a solid online business. I “shudder when I hear someone say that they need to do something "now" because I've seen so many people in similar situations make very bad decisions. Often when they implemented poorly conceived plans it ended up costing them much more in the long run. Here are the top suggestions that I offer to Internet marketers who find themselves in the above described situation: 1) Write an ebook and offer resale rights to it. Currently Internet marketers love resale rights to ebooks. If you can put together a complete package that includes a website that's even better. Writing an ebook is no harder than writing a high school research paper and then converting it to PDF format. If you are really stuck, you could get a ghost writer to do it for you, but that means you need capital upfront. Creating a website is no harder than visiting any of hundreds of template sites (which offer many free templates) and choosing a suitable template. Then you edit the template in your favorite html editor. If you do offer the website with the ebook package then you also need to come up with the copy. The absolute easiest way to do this (for me) is to pretend I'm explaining, to someone sitting across from me, what problem(s) the ebook solves and why they need it. Then you go back and add things such as a guarantee, bonuses, and perhaps testimonials. To get the testimonials, offer free copies of the ebook to online associates in exchange for feedback. If the feedback they give you is negative, then that tells you where you need to fix the ebook. This won't give you the best copy in the world but will give you something that can be reworked several times. After you're out of that bind, if you want to become a really good copywriter, then you get a top copywriting course, such as the one I own (Yanik Silver's Ultimate At Home Copywriting Course): http://www.ultimateonlinecopymanual.com After the ebook package is created, you can offer it to your list if you have one. If not, you can offer it prominently on your website. Make the offer irresistible. You can also offer it through online forums, and community-type sites, where they allow you to advertise. In a real pinch, you can offer it through Ebay auctions, but realize that Ebay buyers are generally looking for a bargain. 2) Create, or have created, a piece of software and offer resale rights to it. Practically everything said about marketing the ebook package applies to a software package. You can go to numerous sites such as Elance.com and RentACoder.com and place a description of the software you want created. "Techies" registered at these sites then bid on your job. You review their bids, their references and portfolios, and then choose one to do the job. Page 1 of 3 :: First | Last ::  Prev | 1 2 3 | Next

How to Make a Website

by Joshua Spaulding The first thing you need to do is come up with an idea for your website. Try to make it something you are interested in and/or something you have at least some knowledge of. Think of one good keyword or keyword phrase. If you are building a website about inline skates your keyword should be something like ' inline skates'. When choosing your keyword keep your competitors in mind. If you are building a website about computers you may want to think twice before picking the keyword 'computers'. If you have plenty of money for marketing your website then you may be able to be successful with a very competitive keyword but if you are an average person you may want to think of something a little less competitive like 'computer information'. A very valuable resource you should use (I use it just about every day for one thing or another) is the Keyword Selector Tool at inventory.overture. com. Type in your keyword in the very simple tool, this will show you how many searches were on yahoo in the last month on the keyword you typed in and on other keywords similar to it. I would suggest to pick a keyword that is RELEVANT to the theme of your site that has somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 searches a month. This is because of what I said before, competition. If you are started your first website you DO NOT need to waste your time competing with Dell or Microsoft. Once you choose your Keyword or Keyword phrase either write it down or memorize it, this will be a very important part of getting your website known. Now that you have the idea for your website and the keyword, you need a domain (the actual website address, ie. http ://www. yoursite. com) Now you need to think of a domain name. When considering your domain name, try to think of one that has each word of your keyword or keyword phrase in it, for instance, if your keyword is computer information the idea domain would be http ://www. computerinformation. com. Of course most domains are allready taken so you will have to add something in, a suggestion would be http ://www. computer-information-now. com . Do not get too stuck on picking the right domain name, allthough it is better to have your keyword in your domain, it will not badly damage your marketing. You register domains through what is called a 'Website Host' Choosing a bad host can cause problems in the future. I have always used the same host called 1and1, so I honestly couldn't tell you all about every host out there. For this instruction I will use 1and1 for the examples as this is the Host I am familiar with. To find out which domains are available go to their homepage, on the right in the middle of the page there is a spot to check domain availability, you simply type in the domain you are interested in and it will tell you if it is available or not. Now that you have chosen your domain name you will need to register it. On the previous step I explained how to find out if a domain is available or not. Go back to the host website, type in the domain you have chosen and just follow the simple steps. You will have to choose a hosting package, since you are probably brand new to all of this you may want to choose the basic package but if you know you are going to stick with this you will eventually want to purchase the business package.

In Part One, we shared some of the benefits claimed for IF (intermittent fasting) and a few things to consider in deciding whether to use the technique yourself. Here are a few more things to look at that may help you decide whether IF is the right path for you. In Part One, we shared some of the benefits claimed for IF (intermittent fasting) and a few things to consider in deciding whether to use the technique yourself. Here are a few more things to look at that may help you decide whether IF is the right path for you. IF is a method intended to burn off body fat. If you’re just trying to get buff for a photo shoot or a weekend at the beach, it’s not your best bet. Concentrate instead on reducing your caloric intake and enjoying intense workouts… you’ll get better results. If you’re a 97 pound weakling, looking to bulk up, you may find yourself adding more fat than muscle, initially. IF could be a good option for you, at least until you get your system stabilized and can get into a calorie-deficient mode. Don’t fast on your slowest day… you’ll be thinking about food every minute. Fast on your busiest day, for a double-win. You’ll be too busy to think about eating and you’ll save that time you normally use cooking, eating and cleaning. The research we have Keep in mind that much of what you hear about intermittent fasting is nothing more that personal opinion. There’s very little reliable research to back it up. So approach it cautiously and realize that your results are almost certain to be different from the guy you heard it from. Differences in general condition, personal metabolism, diet and workout intensity all come into play. Dr. John Berardi pointed out a couple of major issues surrounding IF, that you’re very unlikely to hear from folks singing its praises: Issue #1: There’s a terrible lack of information. The majority of IF research was performed on animals. What? Animals? Really? We’re supposed to believe that our bodies will react the same as a lab rat’s? Sorry, not buying that. Some studies have been performed on human subjects, but unfortunately, many of them weren’t properly designed tests. Furthermore, some of them involved subjects that only fasted… they weren’t on a calorie-deficient diet and they weren’t working out. That’s not much more valid than using lab rats, for our purposes. Such studies need to be performed scientifically, under uniform conditions similar to yours, in order to give results that can be considered valid for you. There needs to be a control group to compare findings against, methods of measuring and recording data that’s identical for all subjects and a large enough sample group to provide meaningful findings. Failure to observe any of those requirements calls the results into question… failing to observe all of them… well, you get the picture. Issue #2: Most of these studies dealt with subjects on "normal" diets. Everything else being equal, that might be fine, provided you were on a normal diet. But the diet for a bodybuilder is far from normal. "Normal" North Americans consume more than they burn (Fat City, here we come), whereas bodybuilders seek to consume less than they burn, to keep their BFI low. A person could easily find themselves wondering whether the supposed benefits of intermittent fasting are actually from fasting, or simply as a result of ensuring that we burn all the energy that we consume. Just a point to ponder… How to get started If you’ve decided you want to try IF, you should first get your diet and physical training underway and stabilized. Once your system is accustomed to the regimen, your fasting will render better results, and beginning your fasting before then will simply slow the process. Whether you’re out to get ripped, just want to improve your general health or are a serious bodybuilding competitor, you’ll need to test for yourself to determine how often and for how long you should fast for the best results. Perhaps one day soon we’ll see some reliable test findings, but until then, there are a lot of unknowns. So be cautious, monitor your results and don’t overdo it.

CHOOSE!

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live (Deuteronomy 30:19)

                Dear reader, this is a clarion call for you to make a decision. This decision would tell of your fate after now. You have just an alternative; either you choose life or death.

                Hebrew 9:27 says ‘’ And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment’’. Death actually is inevitable and you cannot tell when it will be your turn. So then, ‘’ A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. (Proverb 1:5)

                Dear, do you believe the whole scripture? If you do, let me take you through the scriptures and show you some things. Here we go;

                Hebrew 13:8 says, ‘’ Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.’’ It then means that what He said yesterday (Old Testament), it has not change today (New Testament); see Psalm 119:89, Matthew 5:18, 19

                If you agree with all these, what of Deuteronomy 22:5 (The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abominations unto the LORD thy God.) until this time, you have been struggling with God in this aspect. Just imagine you miss the rapture just because of Trousers that you cannot do without now! What will you give in exchange for your precious soul?

See dear, Christianity is a life of self denial (Philippians 4:5, Matt. 16:23), can’t you give up this world just to win Christ? I tell you, the standard of God cannot be changed (2Timothy 2: 19).

I admonish you, choose now!
