Real listening requires letting

September 6th, 2010 No comments

Real listening requires letting go and concentrating on everything the other person says and doesn?t say. If you think about it, it makes sense. People know the history of their life, and if you are to have any success in understanding whether you can help them, doesn?t it make sense to enlist their help by asking about it first, then listening and finally speaking?

A third clue is to stop re-interpreting what people say to you, based on your own life’s experiences, judgments, prejudices and thoughts. For example, have you ever had someone respond to a remark you made and his or her response had no bearing on what you were talking about or what you were meaning? How did you feel about that? ? Annoyed, unheard, invalidated, or some other feeling? What wasn?t this person doing? They weren?t listening! Do you probably do the same thing to others? When promoting your Network Marketing and MLM business, misunderstandings of this sort are expensive ? expensive in terms of money and time and, more importantly, in terms of relationships.

A classic story illustrates how we think we know what someone means when in fact we don?t.

Well we all

Well we all know what a Category V Hurricane is like now after watching Hurricane Rita, Katrina and Wilma. And we watched the Gulf Coast and Cancun and Cozumel get slaughtered beyond belief. But did you know that the Saffir-Simpson Scale stops at Category V it does not go past that. However did you know that Hurricane Wilma would have actually been a Category VI if there was one?

Many meteorologists are calling for a Category Six if these strong Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Seasons keep producing off the chart Hurricanes. The end of times nearly upon us, will June 6, 2006 be the rapture, Armageddon and are all the conspiracy theorists correct? Are the religious nut cases corrected assuming that 666 is indeed June 6, 2006 only one week into the official 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane season.

What is hummus? It spurred me to

September 6th, 2010 No comments

What is hummus? It spurred me to do a little research on the subject and it all started with a simple definition.

After ?Googling? the word hummus (also spelled houmous, hommus, or humus), I have found that hummus is a dip made up mostly of sesame seed paste and chickpea paste. Common flavoring additives include lemon juice, paprika, garlic and olive oil. Mostly a accepted food in the Middle East, hummus? popularity is quickly spreading throughout the world.

Being frugal, I was also astounded at how cheap this versatile dip can be! You can make your own hummus by soaking dried chickpeas overnight and then simmering them for about an hour. After they are cooked, you grind them in a food processor or hand mixer with a little olive oil and lemon juice. You may also add some of the chickpea broth until you have the desired ?dip-like? consistency. Add garlic, salt, parsley, onion, cumin, or chili powder to taste. You can use hummus as a dip for vegetables, tortilla chips or flatbread making this an incredibly versatile staple!

Hummus is also extremely rich in protein, fiber and iron which makes it a true vegetarian?s dream.

Indoor distances are

September 6th, 2010 No comments

Indoor distances are 18 m and 25 m. Outdoor distances range from 30 m to 90m depending on the seniority and 70 m is being used in the Olympic Games. Competition is divided into ends where an archer shoots either 3 or 6 arrows per end, depending on the type of round. There are 20 ends of 3 arrows in a round for indoor competition, but outdoor rounds generally involve more arrows per round. At the end, the competitors walk upto the target to score and retrieve their arrows.

Targets are painted with 10 evenly spaced concentric rings, which have score values from 1 through 10 assigned to them. Targets are colored as follows:
Outermost 1 ring & 2 ring – white

3 ring & 4 ring – black

5 ring & 6 ring – blue

7 ring & 8 ring – red

Innermost 9 rings & 10 ring – gold

There is an innermost ring, sometimes called the 10X ring or the Bull?s-eye.

The score for each arrow depends upon where it hits on the target.

They are classified into men?s running tights

September 6th, 2010 No comments

They are classified into men?s running tights and women?s running tights. These tights are available from any of sporting goods or athletic apparel shop.

The Renaissance period saw the origin of tights, when the European men wore them as a costume while riding on horseback. Later, many changes occurred in the shape, size, type and usage. Many new and synthetic materials, such as nylon and lycra, were developed and used for tights. Over the years, tights have become one of the most popular fashion necessities for young girls and women.

When running became a fashion in the 21st century, a large variety of tights, which differ in fabric and technology, entered the market. A wide range of form-fitting tights and pants were manufactured, which paved the way for running tights. They vary from tight fittings to looser ones.

Running tights are often referred to nylon-lycra leggings, which have a more shiny appearance than cotton tights. Starting in the 1980s, these versatile running tights were traditionally worn for exercise, and also for many other purposes including cycling and jogging.

After all, what can I do about it? But one item I recently saw made me jump up out of my chair.

I rushed over to my clever lawyer’s office.

“Look at this!” I proclaimed as I burst into his office.

Clever Lawyer said nothing. His client echoed his words with her ruby red lips.

I placed the newspaper on his desk.

“Happy Guy, what are you doing here?” he wanted to know. “We don’t have a meeting.”

“Just look at this headline.” I demanded, ignoring his irritating obsession with minute details. “We should take action immediately.”

Slowly, Clever Lawyer picked up the newspaper and read the headline. His eyes returned to me. “This says that Monsanto is suing Oakhurst Dairy for labels on their milk reading ‘no artificial growth hormones’. What does that have to do with you?”

“Don’t you see?” I asked incredulously. “Monsanto makes rBST, an artificial hormone for milk cows.

There are tomes written on the medicinal properties of the different genus and species of herbs.

Mention may be made of Ganoderma — the mushroom popular in Asia as the wonder health drug and deemed so for thousands of years. The Chinese deem it as the ?Spirit Medicine? and an immortality elixir. Now modern research has proved its beneficial side. Ganoderma can not only to heal inflammation but is also an ideal detixicant, and diuretic medication. Moreover, it protects the liver, boosts energy, regulates the intestines, promotes libido, cures sleep disorders, and is a cardiotonic. What is more, Ganoderma keeps blood pressure under control, is an antitussive as well as a hemocatheresisis and an expectorant besides being a tranquillizer. Above all, it controls activity of the tumor.

This list is by no means complete.

The affect on the skin of all these is catastrophic. The liver goes into overdrive trying to expel these chemicals from the body and cannot perform its normal functions properly. The skin loses its healthy glow and takes on a yellowish-grey cast. The more cigarettes smoked, the worse your skin will look.

Smoking also causes premature aging in two ways. It uses up vitamin C in the body, about 35 mg for each cigarette. Vitamin C is an unstable vitamin and cannot be manufactured by the body. One of its functions is the preservation of the collagen in the skin, the substance that gives skin its plump and youthful appearance. The collagen beaks down causing premature wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.

The physical act of smoking causes us to squint, exaggerating the wrinkles around the eyes. Every time we purse our lips we deepen the wrinkles around our mouth as well.

Do yourself a favor! Stop poisoning yourself.

Review / Pittsburgh Tribune – Review – Small Norwin nonprofits could risk losing tax-exempt status

Small Norwin nonprofits could risk losing tax-exempt status

0 Comments | Tribune – Review / Pittsburgh Tribune – Review, Sep 3, 2010 | by Brad Pedersen

Several charitable organizations in the Norwin region could lose their tax-exempt status if they do not file paperwork with the Internal Revenue Service by Oct. 15.

The IRS published a list of nonprofit organizations that have not filed a tax form for the last three consecutive years. In Pennsylvania, the tax-exempt status of 12,625 organizations is in question.

Attorney Daniel Corbett of Elliott & Davis PC in Pittsburgh guides nonprofit organizations through the process of becoming tax- exempt.

Corbett said that the Pension Protection Act of 2006 included a new regulation requiring all nonprofits with gross revenues of less than $25,000 to file an annual tax return form, starting in 2007, even if they made no income.

The provision stated that any nonprofit organization that did not file returns for three consecutive years could lose its tax-exempt status. Corbett estimates that close to 200,000 organizations across the country could lose their tax-exempt status.

“There are a bunch of nonprofits making less than $25,000 that were and still might be unaware of this rule,” Corbett said. “They should have got notices earlier this year.”

The IRS set deadlines to file the appropriate 990 tax forms in April and May but gave organizations an extension through Oct. 15, Corbett said.

Several organizations were unaware that they are on the IRS’ list of organizations that could lose their tax-exempt status, including the Police Athletic League Umpire School.

Bob Rizzo, PAL president, said the organization’s tax returns have been updated and confirmed for “the past several years.” He does not understand why the organization is on the list, but he plans to review all of its tax documents.

“I’m positive that we have filed every year,” Rizzo said. “This doesn’t make any sense at all, but we’ve got to figure out why we’re on the list.”

Mark Previte, president of the Pennsylvania Council for the Social Studies, said his organization appeared on the IRS’ list, but it is not concerned because it had filed its tax returns.

“We have sent all of the proper paperwork into the IRS,” Previte said. “But when the list was posted online, our materials had not yet been received.”

He said the organization, a teachers group, plans to update its 990 forms before the Oct. 15 deadline.

Corbett said organizations go through a rigorous process to earn tax-exempt status

Surely, we?re more

September 5th, 2010 No comments

Surely, we?re more likely to get dehydrated if we?re working up a sweat, or it is hot outside. Actually, dehydration can occur anytime, anywhere, year round. In the winter, we turn on the heating, which makes the air dry. This can quickly dehydrate the body. A number of diseases are caused by dehydration, including diabetes, stroke, asthma, arthritis, depression, hypertension, and cholera.

When the human body begins to get dehydrated, it initiates a drought management system that seeks to conserve water. In other words, don?t wait until you?re thirsty to drink water. Thirst perception is not an accurate indicator of the need to drink water. If possible, drink a galloon of water every day

The next time you?re in the grocery store, grab a case of bottled water. Take water with you wherever you go. Drink up; your body will thank you for it!
