Guide to Make Cheap and Healthy Potato Chips

I think almost everybody likes potato chips. This is something that more American are Natural meal. I thought I would like to share my way to make my own potato chips. It is cheaper, little fat, more flavor, and more yummy plus you also can make it at any kind of flavor that you like to. It is healthier and also tastier because it is baked, and not deep fried. You know that baked chips are very expensive if you buy in stores, but now you can make it cheaper. Here are the guide to make Cheap and Healthy Potato Chips

First, you can buy some potatoes. I like to use the small ones, but you may use whatever you like. Explore to get which ones you like most.

Don't forget to wash the potatoes. Then peel them if you like to, but I prefer to leave the skin on.

Slice those potatoes between one eighth and one sixteenth inch thick (about 2 - 6mm), use mandolin if you like. Thickness is something that you can experiment with, it's mostly preference, but it has a pretty big effect on cooking time.

Put all of your sliced potatoes into a bowl. Add about a teaspoon of your favorite oil (I like olive oil).

Toss the potato slices in the oil. Slowly add more oil and toss if you need to. Go with about a teaspoon at a time. Only add enough to coat, if you have oil pooling in the bottom of the bowl, you have added too much.

Get a baking pan and cover it with aluminum foil. Spray that foil with your favorite non-stick spray. If you don't the chips will stick, and will be really hard to remove.

Lay your oil-coated potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Heat your oven to 400 degrees (F), set the timer for twenty minutes. This isn't the total cooking time, since we will watching them to see when they are done.

Put the potatoes into the oven and keep an eye on them. They are done when the edges start to curl up. I like mine a little more crispy, so I left mine in a little longer. It's another personal preference thing that you can play around with.

When the chips are done, pull them out and set them aside to cool. If you want to put some seasoning on them, this is the time to do it. Most people will add a little salt, but you can get creative with your toppings. I like mine with some black pepper and Old Bay seasoning..
Enjoy your cheap and healthy potato chips!

Guide To Make Toast With Pictures In It

Guide To Make Toast With Pictures In It

Get a piece of bread and draw the picture that you want toasted onto it. I used that fake spray-on butter, because in my experiences the result is usually better, and it is easier to draw your picture.

Turn your stove on HIGH. Let it sit for a minute. You want it to be really hot.
Put your piece of toast face down in the pan (with the picture facing the heat source). Make sure to do it very gently, because you can't slide it at all once it goes into the pan.
Let it toast for a few minutes.

Lift up your piece of toast and check out your picture.

Guide To Make Wine Out Of Grape Juice

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:01:00 +0000

Guide To Make Wine Out Of Grape Juice

Get some grape juice.
Mix the grape juice with 2 parts water. (The less water, the stronger the wine. Use all grape juice if you want it really strong)
Mix in just enough sugar to where it starts to turn cloudy.
Add half of a packet of yeast. (A whole packet if you are making a lot.)
Find a container to make the wine in. I would suggest a plastic container.
Poke a small hole in the lid of the container. This is to let the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation out of the container. If the hole is too small to let the carbon dioxide out, the wine will spoil, but if the hole is too big, and air gets in, you will have vinegar. Experiment, this part takes some experience.
Mix everything together and put on the lid.
Store in a cool, dark place for 3-7 days. (Until the small bubbles stop rising to the top.)
Warning: Step 8 smells. Bad.
After the bubbles stop rising, open the bottle and prepare a white coffee filter.
Run the mixture through the white coffee filter to get all of the excess sugar and yeast out.
Throw away the filter and all the stuff in there.
Enjoy!

Tips To Get Extra Food At The Cafeteria

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:58:00 +0000

Tips To Get Extra Food At The Cafeteria

This is case specific, so this will cover basic strategies using pizza as an example.

Select a food item that is wide in size, in our case pizza.
Place one piece in the main tray.
Next, select two pieces, preferably connected together, and set them carefully over the first slice.
Look at your choices for a side. With your side dish of choice pile it sloppily so that it flows over on to your pizza. (There you have it, three slices for the price of two).
Remember it is all about appearances, so take a quick look over your work for flaws.
Body language and mood. When in the line act annoyed and in a hurry. Lunch ladies already feel pressured to get students out of line, so it doesn't take much acting from you to make her feel nervous and hurried.
Other notes: Loose "multi" foods are easy. Case in point, chicken nugget day. Just grab a couple extra nuggets and slide them into your bag of nuggets or have them rest in your hand holding the tray. Shove nuggets into your mashed potatoes or into some bread.

Drinks- generally they are a no-go because you cannot change their size or appearance. The only possible option is to purchase your lunch, go back for another drink and attempt to walk out. If confronted, claim you forgot your drink initially.
Eat extra food in line before you pay.

Things to do when you're bored

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 12:00:00 +0000

Things to do when you're bored

Have a water gargling contest
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Put a glassful of water in your mouth and see how long you can keep gargling for. Award yourself extra points for loud and amusing gargling noises, and minus points if you laugh.

Stare at the back of someone's head until they turn around
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
This works on the "I have the feeling I'm being watched" principle. Conduct an experiment-does this really work?

Have a "Who is less competitive" competition
wonder (Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Trying to win at this will make you lose. Trying to lose makes you win which makes you lose. Not trying at all makes you lose which makes you win which makes you lose.

Pick up a dog so it can see things from your point of view
(Amusement Potential: 3-5 minutes)
Think about it: your dog has only seen the house from a viewpoint from 6" to 2' high (15 to 60 cm for all you metric fans). It's never seen the tops of counters, what you keep on your desk, the tops of shelves, etc. Try looking at things from its point of view, too.

Pull out a hair, stick in someone's ear
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
Best done to sleeping people. Added challenge in having no one else around, because then you can't blame it on anyone else. Try to beat your record number of times before the person catches on.

Pour water in hand, make sneeze noise, throw water on back of person's neck
(Amusement Potential: 5-15 minutes)
Always a good gag. For an even bigger reaction out of the person, act like you're not sorry at all for what they think you did. Comment instead on how big that sneeze was or about how there was a lot of mucus in that one.

THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out shapes and see if your subconscious is trying to send you a message (perhaps that funny shape is saying, 'send all your money to urban75.com'?)

See how long you can hold a note
(Amusement Potential: 4-20 minutes)
Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time. Play with a friend, or try to beat your own personal best. Inhale deeply and then try and make a noise for as long as you can. Earn extra points for making your partner laugh or ending on an amusing note.

Try to not think about penguins
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway.

Use your secret mind power
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Pick a passing by and try to use your mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true, so you can convince yourself that you really have super human powers and waste even more time trying them out.

Pretend you're a robot
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding 'zzzzzt' sounds with each motion. Pretending to have a motor broken in, say, your left hand can add at least 30 seconds more entertainment.

Scratch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn't that feel pretty good?

Rate passers by
(Amusement Potential: 10-15 minutes)
Secretly award passers by marks out of ten as you go along, offering (unsaid) expert criticism over their clothing, hairstyle and footwear choices.

Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Pick a random word out of a magazine and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.

Pinch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
What is pain? Why is it unpleasant? There's nothing physical about it - it's all in your mind. Plus, after pinching yourself for awhile, boredom will seem nice next to being in pain.

Try to swallow your tongue
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
There's not much to say about this one. It is possible, but really stupid.

Pretend to be a car
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Make appropriate revving noises in your head as you walk along and add a racing commentary as you pass strangers in the street. Use blinking eyes as indicators for extra authenticity.

Make Star Trek door noises
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
Stand by an electric door to a bank or something and make that silly "Scccccccchwop" sound heard whenever people popped on to the bridge to hang with Captain Kirk.

Look at something for awhile, shut eyes, study after image
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
Another great time waster. It takes about 30 seconds of staring to create an after image, and the image is then viewable for about the same length of time. Fun to combine this one with pushing on your eyes.

Get yourself as nauseated as possible
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy you can't even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the "makes boredom seem a lot better" effect (see "Hurt Yourself").

Invent a weird twitch
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Adopt a bizarre twitch (e.g. flicking your head irregularly, twitching with eye or busting out sporadic cough noises) and try it out when you go shopping.

Make a low buzzing noise
(Amusement Potential: 15-30 minutes)
Hours of fun in libraries! Keeping a totally straight face and looking nonchalant, make a low pitch humming/buzzing noise and see who reacts.

THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH VERY LITTLE

See what's in your neighbour's rubbish/trash
(Amusement Potential: 20-30 minutes)
You can learn a lot about people by what they throw out. You might uncover some dark secret about them. Plus, they might be throwing out something with value that still works, like a VCR or some porn mags.

Watch TV, repeat everything said in Italian accent
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Sort of entertaining. Include flamboyant shoulder shrugs for added impact, or go for a Marlon Brando set of grunts.

Send spooky emails
(Amusement Potential: 15-60 minutes)
Look up someone's CV on the web, do some research on them via Google and then send them an email full of personal references claiming to be an ex-work colleague who fell in love with their shoes. Or something.

Play our useless games
(Amusement Potential: how long have you got?)
Waste away the hours with our collection of useless games

Make prank phone calls
(Amusement Potential: 20-60 minutes)
Very entertaining, but requires discipline. Remember - vulgarities don't make a call funny, but getting the other person to believe a ridiculous story will. Try seeing if you can get them to make noises to 'test' the line. One to get you started off: Call McDonalds with weird complaints about their food.

Pretend all humans will die except for people in room with you
Amusement Potential: 10-20 minutes)
What would you do if this really happened? Would the group stay together, or would there be factions? Who would join what group? Remember, there would only be power for a few days before the plants ran out of fuel or broke. To travel, you would always have to be near cars to siphon gas out of. Best to do with people you know.

Step off a curb with eyes shut, imagine it's a cliff
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
To get any benefit out of this one, you have to have a good imagination. Don't step off immediately, build up to the jump. Study the ravine below. Feel the winds at that altitude. Step off and...AHHHHHH!!!!!

Try and sound Welsh
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
The key to sounding Welsh is to make sure that your voice goes up at the end of the sentence, so that everything sounds like a question. Throw in a superfluous 'isn't it?' at the end of everything you say and you're halfway there. Isn't it?

Burn things with a magnifying glass
(Amusement Potential: 5-30 minutes)
Ants are always fun to use for this, but burning the face of someone you don't like, under some circumstances, can be just as entertaining.

DISCLAIMER: Obviously, a lot of these suggestions are really dumb things to do, so don't take them seriously.

Guide To Smoke The Turkey

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 18:29:00 +0000

Guide To Smoke The Turkey

1. First thaw the Turkey
Always thaw the turkey in the refrigerator, never at room tamperature or in water. Bacteria will start growing in the thawed part of the turkey before the deepest interior thaws. You and your guests will get sick, and that will just ruin your holiday. Allow a day in the refrigerator for every four to five pounds of bird, so a 16 pound turkey will take four days to thaw, and a twenty pound turkey will take five. I don't recommend smoking a turkey over 20 pounds unless you have experience and a large grill. You may not be able to cook it all the way through.

2. Start the charcoal.
Use (and recommend) a charcoal chimney, but liquid starter is OK if you do it right. For liquid starter, soak the briquettes thoroughly and let sit for five minutes, then light. The coals are ready when 80% of the surface is white. If you start cooking before the coals are hot all the way through, you may end up with a petroleum taste. You are going to be adding more charcoal over the course of the several hours it will take to smoke your turkey. How long it will take to smoke your turkey will depend on the type of grill and what temperature you can achieve inside your grill. We will discuss grill differences and cooking times more below.

3.Prepare the turkey for the grill.
Remove the plastic. Remove the giblets and the neck. Look at both the body cavity and under the big flap of skin that covers the hole where the neck was. Carefully unfasten the wire that holds the legs together, paying attention to how it fastens. Set it aside. You will be putting it back the way it was. Preheat the oven to 400° F.

4.Wash the outside of the bird with plain, cold water.
Rinse the body cavity and let it drain. Choose a roasting pan a bit larger than the bird and line it with foil to prevent the turkey from sticking to the pan, or just get a thick foil roasting pan at the store for this use. Make sure this pan will fit on the grill. The pan you use will end up with a heavy coating of smoke that will never come off, so if this is a concern, get the disposable pan. Spray the pan with non-stick spray, especially the sides. Pat the turkey dry and apply a thick coating of cooking oil all over the bird. Oil the opening to the body cavity as well, and then put the wire back that holds the legs together. Put the turkey in the oven for 20-30 minutes to kill surface bacteria.

5. I started with a vertical water smoker.
I still have it, but I haven't used it for years. It smoked many turkeys. It is a tall cylinder with a domed lid. It has two enamel pans inside. The lower pan sits at the bottom and holds the charcoal. The second enamel pan hangs in the middle. It is filled with water and flavorings. It serves as a heat shield and adds moisture (and more flavor) to the smoky air inside that surrounds the meat. These smokers are cheap (around $50 or a bit less). You can smoke a 15-16 pound turkey easily in one, maybe even larger, depending on the brand of the smoker. These smokers have a crude temperature gauge and a door in front for adding more charcoal and wood chunks. Try to get the temperature to high, although it may be difficult, depending on the outside temperature and the wind. Plan on smoking a minimum of six or seven hours, or longer for a larger bird. The skin will turn dark brown from the smoke in the first half hour. It will be nearly black by the time you finish. The enamel water pan offers some interesting options. I have put wine and all kinds of fresh herbs in the pan to add flavor to the smoke. If you hear a loud sizzle when checking your turkey, it means all the liquid in the water pan has evaporated. Add more.

5. Bigger grills offer more options and the ability to smoke larger birds and develop higher temperatures. My grill is 21" in diameter and 30" long. The box on the side is 11" in diameter and 18" long. I can easily get the internal temperature to 350° F, so I can actually roast a turkey in it and take no longer than the oven in the house. I choose not to, however, to develop a better smoke flavor over time. I put 75% of the charcoal and wood only in the firebox on the side at first. After several hours of smoking, I add more charcoal to the main compartment and add wood to both it and the firebox. I find that five to six hours of smoking and roasting will produce a turkey with outstanding flavor, and it does not have to be finished in the oven.

7. Whichever type of grill you use, some general principles apply. Take the turkey from the oven where you killed off the surface bacteria. Add ½" of water to the roasting pan. Adding 2-3 tablespoons of white wine is a nice touch. Maintain this level of liquid throughout the smoking and roasting process. To be safe, the turkey needs to reach an internal temperature of 165° F, measured at the thickest part of the breast and thigh. If it does not reach this temperature, it is not safe to eat, and you will need to finish the turkey in a 350° F oven. You also need to make sure the turkey does not dry out. Brush the turkey with oil every hour or two to keep moisture sealed in. This is very important. Keep in mind that the grill may be hotter on one side of the turkey. Rotate the pan 90 or 180 degrees each time you baste it with oil so it will cook evenly. Keep adding wood and charcoal to keep the temperature up and the smoke rolling.

8. The type of wood smoke you use is a very important consideration when you smoke a turkey. The type of wood will have a big impact on the flavor of the turkey. It is hard to go wrong with
hickory. We are all used to hickory flavoring in bacon and ham. It is safe and familiar. Mesquite is a popular choice in Texas. Many fruitwoods are used to smoke a turkey. Someone once told me that if the tree produces fruit or a nut you like to eat, it is a good candidate as a smoking wood. Sounds like good advice to me. Pecan, apple, peach, and hickory are all good. I like oak, but not everyone does. An excellent option is to build a hot fire from oak, let it burn down to coals, and then use it rather than charcoal at first. Use the oak for heat, and add chunks of other wood for flavoring.

9. Again: you absolutely cannot smoke a turkey safely without a meat thermometer. A simple small instant-read thermometer is only about $5.00. Buy one.

10. When the turkey reaches the right internal temperature, bring it in and transfer it carefully to a platter for carving and cover with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes, and it will carve much more easily and be juicier. Use the pan drippings to make the most wonderful gravy. You will have way more than you will use at this meal. Separate and discard the fat and freeze the broth to make a surprise gravy or two throughout the coming months.

And there you have the secrets to the best turkey you can imagine, better than roasted, better than fried. Smoked turkey will be so popular with your family that you'll have to prepare it at least once a year. And the more times you prepare it, the better at it you will get.

Guide And Information About Diabetes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 11:29:00 +0000

Guide And Information About Diabetes

General Information about Diabetes

Affected Pancreas Safe, Good in Early Study
An "artificial pancreas" created to carry the main blood sugar-influencing hormone insulin to diabetic patients with no need to inject. This has been found good and safe also effective in a preliminary study case with 10(ten) patients of diabetes.

The device is an insulin source, implanted in the tissue paper facing the abdominal cavity and connected to a sensor implanted in the jugular vein. The source needs insulin refills each month or so. When the sensor finds a growth in blood glucose, the source carries the required amount of insulin. Below are some guide and diabetes information.

Blood Glucose Testing
Most insurances now pay for diabetics to have blood glucose monitoring equipment in the home. Keeping the machines clean and in good working order are vital for accurate results. Follow the manufacturers' instructions for proper cleaning and maintenance.

Blood Glucose Testing Tip
Be sure hands are clean before performing the test, but don't use alcohol to cleanse your fingertip. It's drying and may cause fingertips to crack. Wash hands with a mild antibacterial soap like Dial.

Diabetes Test After Heart Attack Shows Future Risk
Examining patients who experience had heart attacks for signals of diabetes before they leave the hospital probably describe those with the highest risk of the next heart attacks. Some people hospitalized for a heart attack have undiscovered diabetes or prediabetes, a condition coined to identify the millions of obese and overweight people who have blood sugar levels advising an increased risk of full-blown diabetes. Medications, work out and change your diet habit, all of which can reestablish normal glucose levels, and perhaps can cut the risk of heart attacks in patients who have already had a heart attack.

Diabetic Dental Care
Immaculate mouth care is a must. Diabetics are much more prone to gum disease. More frequent dental visits may be needed and careful brushing and flossing are a necessity. Avoid ill-fitting dentures that may cause mouth sores.

Diabetic Eye Care
If you're a diabetic, regular visits to your eye care professional are a must to prevent problems that could lead to blindness.

Diabetic Foot Care Tips

Take the pressure off your feet by losing weight if you are obese.
Inspect your feet at least once per day. If you can't see well, ask someone to do it for you.
Wash feet with mild soap and lukewarm water daily.
Wear white cotton socks rather than synthetic ones with dyes.
Don't go barefoot or wear ill-fitting shoes.
See a podiatrist regularly for toenail trims and other routine maintenance.

Diabetics Are Prone to Foot Problems
Diabetics have decreased sensation and circulation in their feet making them prone to foot infections/wounds that could eventually lead to amputation.

Drug Could Delay Diabetes
Acarbose, a drug that blocks the digestion of starch, could prevent or delay the development of the most common form of diabetes in those with slightly high blood sugar.

Exercises to Avoid
Diabetics should avoid exercises that involve pushing or pulling heavy objects and lifting weights. Blood sugar levels and blood pressure are raised during this kind of exercise.

FDA Approves New Sweetener Neotame
A non-nutritive sweetener said to be 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sugar received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to be marketed as an additive in candies, soft drinks and various other products.

Like the other common sweeteners, Neotame is a white crystalline powder that melts in water. It is created by Monsanto, which also creates NutraSweet's sweetener Equal. Neotame iaccredited for use in baked goods, nonalcoholic beverages, chewing gum, confections, frozen desserts, gelatins and puddings, jams, jellies, fruit, juices, toppings and syrups.

The FDA declared the product to be secure for use after analysing to more than 113 animal and human studies, many people of which seen at any possible links with cancer-causing or neurological side effects.

Inhaled Insulin
Inhaled insulin may soon offer an alternative to needles for people with diabetes.
Novo Nordisk, a Denmark-based company, has ongoing clinical trials to test the safety and effectiveness of an electronic pulmonary insulin system. They say it may be available in the United States and Europe within a few years.
This is the first electronic pulmonary insulin system currently being tested in clinical trials. It works by converting a special liquid insulin into aerosol particles, which are inhaled into the lungs.

Regular Exercise Is a Must
Exercise is extremely important for diabetics as it strengthens the cardiovascular system, increases circulation to the arms and legs and helps control blood sugar levels. Walking, jogging, rowing and swimming are best.

Shoes for Diabetics

Avoid plastic shoes and waterproof shoes. They encourage perspiration and fungal growth.
Avoid tight or unventilated footwear.
Don't wear boots all day.
Choose cotton or leather shoes.
Wear sandals as much as possible in the summer.
Don't wear the same shoes two days in a row.
Air shoes in the sun to inhibit fungal growth.

Small, Frequent Meals
Diabetics should follow their American Diabetic Association diet and eat small meals more frequently such as three small meals with one or two healthful snacks between meals. This helps maintain a more stable blood sugar level.

Treatment of Hyperglycemia
Some symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) are: excessive urination, weight loss, excessive hunger and thirst. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor.

Treatment of Hypoglycemia
Some symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) are: cool, clammy skin, numbness of the mouth, a fluttering in your chest, hunger and feeling faint. Emergency treatment includes ingesting something containing sugar like orange juice, a candy bar, or sugared soda pop. Follow that with some cheese or peanut butter crackers to sustain your blood sugar level.

What's an Exchange?
In a switch diet, foods that are alike are classified together. Serving sizes are good defined, so that each will have the identical amount of carbohydrate, fat, and protein like any other. Foods can be "Switched" or traded with others in a category while still gathering the desirable general goals. Switches can be applied to most any eating condition and probably make it easier to follow a healthy diet. For example, if a nutrition plan calls for one starch exchange a person could choose 1/2 cup of cooked pasta, OR one slice of bread, OR a small (3 oz.) baked potato.

Guide To Succesful Long Distance Relationship

For some people, Long Distance relationship probably very hard. Not just because it is difficult, it;s also because we don't meet and talk to our partner as often as usual, but practically everybody you meet will have a bad story about how a long distance relationship how a long-distance relationship not work out for them. Once, I read that absence diminishes little love and gains great ones. Keep this in your mind when you are going through hard times.

If you have not yet committed to a long distance relationship and are studying it, know that it is a big deal commitment. You need to make sure that you truly love the person and that it is worth it for you to make certain sacrifices. Below are some Guide to succesful long distance relationship.

1. Be honest about what you expect from each other.
Do you want the freedom to date other people? Are you comfortable with your partner making friends with the opposite sex? Are you going to try the long-distance thing out and stick with it if it seems to work, but not try to force the relationship? Discuss these things with your partner and be honest about your expectations. This way, everything is out in the open and it will lessen the suspicions you have about the other person. Also, you never have to question if you are crossing a boundary.

2. Coordinate your schedules.
You need to be realistic about the time commitment you both can give to each other. If it works for both of your agendas, you can make a plan and talking to your partner at a particular time at night. However, this can make you stress if you have other plan to go out with friends and your long distance partner probably can not understand about your need to meet your friend and be social. Your partner also can be jealous of the time you spend with your friends or other people. No matter what, you need to try to keep in touch with your partner through phone calls, E-mail, AIM, or other means daily. To cut the expenses, you can download Skype, net2phone, or phonefree program. Its free to talk online if you both download those programs ... so you will be able to keep in touch with your partner where you are. Also, you can try a web cam for a more personal connection.

3. Make plans in advance to see each other in person.
If you set firm dates to see each other and stick to them, it makes the wait less difficult because you can spend time planning outings with your partner and looking forward to seeing them. When you mutually agree on certain times to see each other, it lessens problems that can arise from one person feeling like they are pressuring the other into seeing them and the other feeling like the are too busy and are pushing away from the relationship because of the pressure.

4. Arrange to participate in long-distance activities together.
Meet online to play games against each other or watch a television show at the same time. Also, try “virtual dates” Send you partner an E-mail describing a place (for example, a beach) and a time (dusk). Ask them to describe what kind of date they would have with your in this setting ,what you would wear, talk about, eat, what activities you would take part in, etc. Doing little activities like this together helps you to reconnect and remember the day-to-day fun you used to have.

5. Do not make issues larger than they actually are.
Communication can be not easy for long distance relationship. You need to avoid fighting over the small issues ... with the communication problems, these little things can be big problem. Agree to disagree when it looks like you aren’t making any progress. In these types of relationships, you are bound to have feelings of uncertainty and doubt. Try for not making any drastic changes unless you are absolutely positive that things aren’t working. Threatening to break up every time you two are going through a rough patch wont help the situation at all, particularly if you aren’t serious about ending it. Do communicate honestly about problems that you are having with the long-distance situation, but do it in a manner that is constructive and problem-solving.

6. Surprise them.
Send flowers or chocolates to your partner’s office. For an extra-special treat, Fed-Ex them food from their favorite restaurant back home. Send cards for no reason and E-mails just to let them know that you are thinking about them.

7. Share the details of your life. Talk about the little things that happen in your day. Keep your partner informed about what you are up to at work and socially. Call your partner for advice. When you had the chance to spend more time together, you talked about these things, right? It will help maintain a sense of normalcy and a sense of trust between the two of you.

8. Focus on the future.
A long-distance relationship will not work forever. Make plans to live in the same city as soon as possible. Ambiguity about the future will add tension and doubt.

9. Never assume the worst.
If your partner is late calling you one day or you hear someone else’s voice in the background, ask them what is going on before flying into a fit of rage and accusing them of being unfaithful. If you can’t get a hold of them, call a friend instead and distract yourself. No matter what, don’t stress over it.

10. Meet your partner’s friends and have your partner meet your friends.
If you have some close friends or family that you can trust, it will help you have more trust in the relationship. Your close friends or family can reassure you when you are having doubts. Although you don’t want to have to turn to someone else to solve all of your problems, it can definitely be good to have someone else there to relieve your fears.

Guide To Succesful Online Dating

There’s a nervousness, thrill, and excitement that occurs when meeting a person for the first time face to face. Yet amongst the thrill, remember to always be on your guard when going out on a date with someone you barely know.

Here are some guidelines to succesful online dating and dating safety to help you get started:

Arrange to meet him. Don’t let him pick you up from your home.
Meet in public places. If possible, double date or go out with a group of people.
Go Dutch by paying half of the bill. That way you won’t feel under any obligation to return the favor. '
Remember that alcohol affects your judgment and lessens your inhibitions. If you are drinking, keep your drink in sight at all times and don’t get so drunk that you don’t know what you are doing.
Use your own mode of transportation. And leave with a full tank.
Don't assume that a man is safe just because he claims to be religious.
Don’t let him know where you live. If you want to see him again, arrange a second date and then take it from there.
Avoid secluded areas such as parks.
Listen to your gut. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. And if you haven’t met him before, and you know at the beginning of the date that something doesn’t feel right, then leave immediately.
Always let someone else know where you're going and who you'll be with. You might even consider arranging a time to call and check in. Or you could arrange to meet up with friends later that night.
Give him your cell phone number instead of your home phone number.
Always remain alert. Even if you’re having a blast and the chemistry is great, it’s a good idea to remain alert the whole evening. Make sure you have a cell phone on you.

Dating safely is very important to succesful online dating. In the initial stages of dating, you are still getting to know someone you know little about. By creating a safe environment to know the person, you’re creating a better situation for you.

Guide to Make Patchwork Pillow

Do you like or want to make patchwork? if you want to make patchwork follow this guide to make patchwork pillow. It will show you how to make a cushion with patchwork technique, combining diferent fabrics.

Patchwork usually combines fabrics with different colours, but in this case you will only need white fabrics; wild silk, muslin fabric, and some ribbons, etc.

If you enjoy sewing you will love this project, follow all the steps to make your own patchwork below:

What you need to make patchwork pillow?

3 squares, every 38 x 38 cm, of textured white cotton material (the one applied here has hard woven lines and there is a really pale cream line in it).
8 x 38 cm white cotton backing fabric
2 pieces white cotton backing fabric, each 25 x 38 cm
24 x 24 cm white wild-silk type fabric
24 x 30 cm white muslin fabric
24 x 30 cm white medium-weight white iron-on Vilene interfacing
3 metres (12 mm wide) white looped-edge ribbon (Offray)
Pearly white flat sequins: Gütermann Col.1085
Silvery white seed beads: Gütermann Col.1016
1 skein white tapisserie wool: Anchor Col. 8004
Small amount of bright white double knitting wool (brighter than the tapisserie wool)
White sewing thread
35 x 35 cm cushion pad

What you do to make patchwork pillow?

Bend one of the squares of textured material in half diagonally. Finger push along the fold to set the crease. Open out the square and bend from corner to corner along the different diagonal. Finger push to crease. Cut on the folded diagonal lines to make four triangles. Along the longest position of every triangle turn 2 cm to the wrong position to neaten. Finger press and pin to hold. Set one triangle in every corner of the square of backing material, overlapping the triangles where they meet at the mid-point of each side of the backing square (see picture no 1). Pin around the sides of the square to hold.
Carefully to mistake the little square of silky material into the centerof gap formed by the triangles, gathering the borders under the neatened borders of the triangles. Pin on these neatened borders to hold the silky material in position. Cut 4 lengths of the ribbon (30 cm in length) and pin these 1.5 cm away from the turned below borders and parallel to them, gathering the ribbon ends under the material to neaten (see picture 2).

Picture 1: Overlap triangles to form a continuous pattern.

Picture 2

Use white sewing thread to machine straight stitch close to the turned-under edges of the corner triangles and then similarly stitch close to the edges of the strips of ribbon, to secure the ground fabrics of the design in position. If preferred, this stitching could be worked neatly by hand.
Print and accurately trace the leaf motif (picture 3) onto an sheet of paper, allowing enough space to reposition it, and trace it again to produce a four-leaf motif. Similarly, trace a single leaf and stalk. Cut out the paper templates that you have made. [When printed, the design should measure 11.5 cm from leaf tip to the centre of the four-leaf motif - the point where the central veins cross - if necessary enlarge or reduce to size.]
Position the four-leaf template on the white muslin fabric, leaving enough fabric to cut out three individual leaves, then pin in place. Adding a narrow 0.5 cm turning allowance all around the motif, cut out the four-leaf shape. Position and cut out three individual leaves, adding the allowance as before.
Using the paper templates, from the interfacing cut out to size (i.e. without 0.5 cm allowance) the four-leaf motif and three separate leaves. Place the interfacing glue side down onto the corresponding muslin motif. Following the manufacturer's instructions, bond the muslin and interfacing together.
Using very sharp-pointed scissors, snip into the corners of the turning allowance on the muslin. Carefully and neatly fold the turning to the wrong side. Using white sewing thread and tiny hand stitches that do not show through to the right side, secure the turning on the wrong side of the leaf shapes. Reserve the three single leaves to decorate the back of the cushion.
Place the four-leaf motif centrally on the silky square. Pin to hold and stitch in position using white sewing thread, making your stitches as small as possible around the edges of the motif.

Using the creamy white tapisserie wool, work a line of neat and even back stitches along the centre of each leaf and then work side lines (veins) across one half of each leaf. Similarly, using the bright white knitting wool, work the lines (veins) across the other half of each leaf. Refer to the leaf pattern to help you work the lines of back stitches, but work them freely without drawing on the white fabric.
Using the white sewing thread (doubled for extra strength), stitch sequins and beads in a random scattering over the silky fabric. Use a single bead to secure each sequin (see Picture 4). This completes the cushion face.

Picture 4: Attaching sequins and beads: bring the needle and thread (use doubled for strength) to the surface. Pass through the hole of a sequin, thread on a bead and then take the needle down through the sequin and fabric.

Take one of the remaining squares of textured fabric and one of the white backing pieces. Place the textured square on top of the backing fabric, matching up the sides and folding the excess at one end to the wrong side. Finger-press along the fold and then pin the layers of fabric together around their edges (see picture 5). Pin a length of ribbon close to the folded edge. Pin a second length parallel to the first but 7 cm away from it. Machine straight stitch in white along each edge of the two lengths of ribbon.
Arrange and pin the three leaf motifs along the 7 cm gap and invisibly stitch them into position. Decorate each leaf with lines of back stitching to match the four-leaf motif on the cushion front.
Place the remaining white textured square over the remaining white backing fabric, folding the excess textured fabric to the wrong side. Pin the layers together around their edges to hold.

Picture 5 : Fold top fabric over backing fabric and pin as shown.

To finish

Place the cushion front on a clean flat surface with right side uppermost.
Position the section of the cushion back with the leaves right side down on the cushion front, matching up the raw edges. Add the second piece of the back of the cushion so that its folded edge overlaps the other piece of the back, lining up the three raw edges with those of the cushion face (see picture 6). Pin together around the edges.
Working with a 1 cm seam allowance, machine straight stitch around all four sides.
Snip away any excess fabric across the corners and then carefully turn the cushion cover through to the right side, gently easing it into shape.
Place a cushion pad inside the completed cover.

Suggestions

Take the idea a step further by working the same design in black on black or any other colour.
Keep the white theme, but alter the design.

Guide to Make Crochet Projects

Crochet projects are great crafts, and the rush at which details can be created encourages the beginner to get to grips with the several kind of different stitches, making items that are easy during the learning experience that motivation the learning process. For those that have never tried to make crochet before, there are requirements that are needed to help to perform that first project, wool, and crochet hook.

Here are some tips and guide to make crochet project, you can make a lovely crochet bag for your cell phone using flowers knitted with crcochet in different colours.

Below are the pattern for the flowers if you want to make one, too. (I recommend six flowers, not nine.)

Step 1: (right side) ch5 ( this equals 1 dc plus ch2), (dc in ring, ch 2)5x, j with slst to first dc: 6 ch2 sp

Step 2: sl st in first ch 2 sp, ch1, work ( sc, hdc,5dc, hdc,sc) in same sp and in each sp around; j with sl st to first sc. ( 6 petals)

Step 3: ch1, sc in same st, ch3, keep chain 3 behind the petals, ( sci n first sc on nt petal, ch3) around; j with sl st to first sc ( 6 ch 3 spaces)

Step 4: Sl st in first ch3 sp, ch 1, make ( sc, hdc, 7dc, hdc, sc ) in same sp and in each space around;j with sl st to first sc; (6 petals)

Step 5: Ch1, sc in same st, ch 5, keep chain 5 behind petals, ( sc in first sc in nt petal, ch5) around, j with sl st to first sc. ( 6 loops

Step 6: Sl St in fist lp, ch 1, ( sc in same lp, ch 5)2x, (sc in nt lp, ch 5)2x,(sc,ch5) 2x in nt lp, (sc in nt lp,ch5)2x; j with sl st to first sc. ( 8 loops)

Step 7: Sl st in first loop, ch3 ( counts as 1st dc) (dc,ch3,2dc)(shell) in same lp, ch3, (sc,ch3)2x in nt loop,(picot) * (2dc, ch3)2x (shell)in nt lp, (sc, ch3)2x in nt lp; repeat from * 2x more; j with sl st to first dc, finish off threads.

Other flowers are done the same except on the last row shells are (2dc,ch1 sl shell on other flower, ch1 2dc) and picots that join other picots are (first flower)sc ch1 sc (second flower) ch1 sc in same space on first flower.

I used Romanian lace cord for the cord to hold the cozy. The cord was stitched to the top of the cozy between two flowers and into the middle picot of the opposite flower. If you have questions, please ask.

I forgot to say it is a size 6 or 7 hook you use, whichever you prefer, and you can use knit cro sheen or size 10 bedspread weight thread.

How to Clean Up Crayons on The Wall

How to Clean Up Crayons on The Wall

I saw a woman on TV. who used WD-40 and then cleaned it up with soap and water. So I figured I'd try - it was that or sand down the whole room and paint. I was AMAZED!! The crayon came off with minimal elbow grease!!!! and I mean there was A LOT of crayon on the wall - ALL GONE!

My problem afterwards was the greasiness from the WD-40. Although the woman had suggested soap and water, I used a spray grease cutter and that worked well. Dishwasher detergent may also work, anything that is a grease cutter.

Guide to Essential Health

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:13:00 +0000

Guide to Essential Health

1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!

2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!

3. Quit Smoking
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

4. Reduce Stress
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.

5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.

6. Wear Your Seat Belt
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.

7. Floss Your Teeth
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss.

8. Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.

9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing.

10. Choose Your Parents Well
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.
