Unhappy Relationship 3 Things You Can Do About It

Unhappy relationships are an inevitable part of romance, and their causes are numerous. Sometimes, a commitment is made and that once made, it can be hard to leave an unhappy situation. You may feel that you have to stay in order to support your loved ones, that you are unable to leave for any number of reasons. You find that you are making a number of excuses to stay in a situation that is not good for you.

If you are facing an unhappy relationship, then there are three things you need to do. Firstly, you can do nothing and maintain things just as they are. You will continue on your path of misery, those around you will become miserable, and you will continue along this path until you are in the worst of situations. So why does this situation occur? It is the simplest thing to do. It is easy to not do anything about the situation, and very hard to turn a bad partnership or unhappy relationship around. While it may seem noble, it is a bad decision to try and stay.

Out of the three, the other option which involves staying in the relationship is to fix things. This step requires a full commitment, anything less is as bad, if not worse, than trying to stick things out. This step requires that your partner is also committed in full to repair of the situation. This is the most challenging of the situations, but can lead to the best situation. Any changes made here will be lasting and permanent. If your partner is not committed towards the repair of the unhappy relationship, then all attempts to repair things will fail.

The last possibility is to leave. This is also very hard since people will make excuses in order to stay. Sometimes, however, it is a matter of ending the relationship before things become irreparable. Unhappiness, fighting, depression, and many other factors eventually come out of an unhappy relationship. This will not only bring you and your loved ones great suffering, but it will also negatively affect those around you are well. You have to overcome everything that is holding you back and take that first step towards resolving the matter.

If you need one, you should seek out the aide from a therapist or a coach. Mental hindrances in an unhappy relationship can be taken care of with the help of a therapist. If you need to work strategies for repairing your situation, then you should instead get a coach, someone who will work with you to develop strategies and get the success you need.

An unhappy relationship will mean one of three possibilities. You will either stay or suffer, you will repair things with your ex, or you will move out and move on. Therapists and coaches provide technical support while your family and friends will provide you with the support network you need when you make. All it takes is an effort to do what is right for you and your loved ones.

Potatoes -Good For a Lean Body Or Not?

Here's Some Great Info On Potatoes And Getting A Lean Body Courtesy Of Mike Geary

I'd like to start a little discussion today about carbohydrates... and in particular, potatoes. One reason I wanted to mention this is because so many health and fitness professionals trash talk potatoes about being a bad carbohydrate choice because of the high glycemic index. Some even say such ridiculous things as "avoid any and all white carbohydrates".

Ok, now while I certainly agree that white bread and refined white sugar are two of the worst things we can be feeding our bodies, I definitely don't agree with avoiding any and all "white carbohydrates". Now I know all of the buzz lately has been about colorful foods and the protective antioxidants that they contain. They tell you to focus on colors and stay away from white. It's true that colorful foods are great, but it is a big mistake to specifically avoid white foods! There are plenty of white foods that have specific nutrients that are hard to find elsewhere. Let's look at a few examples...

What about onions and garlic? They are both white and they are chock full of protective phytonutrients, vitamins, and trace minerals that aren't easy to find eslewhere in a normal diet... such nutrients as allicin, quercetin (an important flavonoid), chromium, and other unique anti-inflammatory nutrients.

Another example of something white that is great for you is cauliflower. Cauliflower is loaded with vitamin C, fiber, minerals, and special compounds such as glucosinolates and thiocyanates, which are specifically abundant in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.

Not many people realize this, but surprisingly, even white mushrooms have high levels of unique nutrients and antioxidants. White mushrooms are high in a couple types of antioxidants called polyphenols and ergothioneine.

Now that also leads us to another example - white potatoes (which by the way, can also be found in red, yellow, purple varieties, etc). Many health professionals claim that potatoes are a bad carbohydrate because they are thought to have a high glycemic index. First of all, if you've read my Truth about Six Pack Abs book, then you understand that glycemic index is not necessarily the most important factor in choosing your carbohydrates.

While a generalization can be made that most low glycemic index carbohydrate choices will help you lose body fat easier than high glycemic index choices, it is not all that it's cracked up to be. There are many other factors that determine how your body will react-to and process the carbohydrates you ingest, such as glycemic load and also how you combine the high GI food with other foods.

For example, using glycemic load as an example... it is known that watermelon has a high glycemic index. However, the glycemic load of a normal serving of watermelon is just way too low for your body to start packing on body fat just because you ate a high glycemic index fruit. You would have to eat such an enormous quantity of watermelon just to get enough grams of carbohydrates to have any negative glycemic effect, that it is just non-sensical.

Not to mention that watermelon is also a great source of vitamins, minerals, and lycopene. There's just no reason to avoid it simply because it has a high GI. My point is... candy bars, cupcakes, and donuts make you fat... NOT watermelons, carrots, or potatoes.

Also, as i mentioned, food combinations are important in how your body processes the carbohydrates and the associated blood sugar and insulin response you receive. For example, if you mix a high glycemic index carbohydrate with an extra source of fiber, healthy fats, or even certain proteins, many times the blood sugar and glycemic response will be slowed down considerably by the way you combined the food. Again, I talk in detail about this entire topic in my Truth about Six Pack Abs book

Alright, so back to my point that white potatoes are actually a healthy carbohydrate as long as you eat them in the right form... with the entire skin, and please don't ruin them by deep frying them into french fries either! French fries are one of the most evil things ever invented for your health, but only because we ruin them by soaking them in a scorching bath of trans fats in the deep fryer from the hydrogenated oils that are typically used.

Keep in mind that potatoes contain so many vitamins and minerals that the list is way too long to even try. Also, as long as you eat the skins, you get a decent shot of fiber too.

On the topic of potatoes not being so bad after all, I don't remember where I saw this referenced, but I recently saw a particular study that had participants eat something like 7-9 whole potatoes per day for several weeks. At the conclusion of the study, the potato eaters had actually consistently lost wei.ght! I'd venture a guess that the reason the people lost we.ight is that they were probably so full from eating all of those damn potatoes, that they actually consumed less calories than normal! An average sized potato only has about 100-120 calories, and I can surely imagine you'd be full constantly from eating 7-9 potatoes each day.

Now I would never recommend going to those extremes, but my point is that an occasional potato is not going to hurt your efforts to get lean, especially if you combine it with some other fibrous vegetables and maybe a healthy fat and some protein. On that note, I have one of my favorite recipes for you, using potatoes.

Geary's Lean-Body Potato Side Dish

Desired quantity of baby potatoes (I like to use this mixture I found recently at a health food store... it is a mixture of white, red, yellow, and purple baby potatoes)

1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 or 2 onions
a couple cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 or 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
a little salt and pepper to taste (I like using a sea salt instead of normal commercial salt)

Cut the baby potatoes into slightly smaller pieces and place in a steamer until soft all the way through. Slice up the peppers and onions into strips and add with the chopped garlic into a pan with the olive oil. Cook the peppers, onions, and garlic until tender, and then add the steamed baby potatoes. Stir it all together and serve. This is a delicious and healthy side dish that goes great with chicken or red meat.

I hope you've enjoyed this little topic today about potatoes, healthy carbohydrates, glycemic index, and my killer potato recipe idea! That's about all for today.


Have a great week, and I'll be back in touch soon.

Stay lean,

How To Get My Boyfriend Back After I Drove Him Away

One of the questions that you may ask yourself is how to get my boyfriend back. The practice of dating is full of ups and downs, and most of the downs are the result of a misunderstanding. So when you are trying to figure out what went wrong, here are some clues as to where men get the wrong message and end up backing off.

Many men back off for a reason that seems counter intuitive. By trying too hard to please the guy, serving his every need, in the end you are selling yourself as a doormat in his eyes. The idea is to be respectful with who you are, and how you sell yourself. That is not to say you should be dominant, but that you should say that being someone who is respectable is how to get my boyfriend back. Men do like to be treated well at times, but they want women who can standup for themselves.

Another thing that will send them away is to talk about your ex's. Men are competing when they are dating. They are thinking of the other men who are potential competitors to their efforts, so when you mention other men in your life you are giving them something to compare against. Again, this is not to say you should not say anything. Background and personal history is important. Knowing that you dated one man throughout high school and college is important. Telling your date that he is a football player with 20 awards, his game stats, where his tattoos are, etc. is too much. Focusing on one ex will sell the idea that either you still have feelings for him, or if it is all negative, you will cause your date to over analyze themselves.

Business like behavior, or conversely being too promiscuous, will work against you. The general ideal is a lady like or feminine behavior. Too much on the skin side can work against you, but being boyish will also push away prospects. You should be feminine, conservative, and someone who is not cheap or intimidating.

Pressuring him is another turn off. This includes trying to get him to define his role and analyze who he is and how he feels. Men tend not to like having their feelings challenged, and if he has an idea that is proven wrong, then it can send him packing.

Another thing to send him packing is to try and change him. You can't. Men think that being steady means that you want him for him, so trying to change him is going to tell him he has a serious problem. Even if he does not have a problem, trying to change him will challenge his feelings and strip him of who he is. Let him be him. If you need something else, find someone else.

No one is perfect, and no relationship is perfect; but when you are trying to figure out how to get my boyfriend back, these are steps to make sure you do not scare him off.

How To Avoid Model Railroad Derailments

Are you frustrated because your model trains derail from time to time?

This was a major frustration for me. I would fix one section of the track and the next day the train would derail on another section.

It frustrated me to the point of wanting to give the hobby away..!

A smooth running model train is a dream for most model train beginners. But it is actually quite easy to achieve with a little attention to detail.

Here are 7 ways to stop your model train derailing:

1 - Ensure every joint on your track is level, aligned and properly fitted.

Sounds like common sense? But poorly assembled track joints are the worst offenders for derailing model trains.

Slide your finger across the joint. It should feel level with the gap between the tracks kept to the absolute minimum. I solder my joints because this stops any problems with expansion and contraction opening and closing of the joints.

With a small file I am able to create a continuously level track and have a beautifully smooth running model train.

2 - Check your track gauge on joints, turnouts and frog assemblies.

Another common problem for model train derailments is incorrect track gauge. A tight track gauge will cause the wheels to climb up and derail off the track.

A wide track gauge will also derail your model train as the wheel flanges can not span the track properly. The gauge can be adjusted using a soldering iron to gently heat the rail, moving the rail to the correct position and allowing it to cool.

3 - Check your switch points for sharpness when they switch.

Some new switch points can be fairly blunt on the movable section where it strikes up against the stock rails. This can grab on the wheels and cause a model train derailment.

A small file can be used to gently smooth the moveable part of the points to allow a nice smooth transition. Remember to check the gauge in both positions.

4 - Check all your model train couplers.

A snagging coupler will cause model train derailments. Some new carriages can come with unpolished couplers which can catch and force derailments.

Clean off any rough edges and adjust the couplers for proper centering. The manufacturers usually provide these instructions.

5 - Add extra weight to your freight cars.

I find that most freight cars are too light and sometimes all the wheels do not contact the rails equally. By adding a small amount of weight to the cars your model train will run smoother and you will eliminate derailments, especially on the tight radius’s.

Just make sure you add the weight as low as possible to the car and in the centre, keeping a low center of gravity.

6 - Check all your wheel sets for proper operation.

Wheel sets that are out of gauge, not aligned or moving freely will cause your model train to derail. Check your wheel sets and make sure that your carriages are not crabbing and forcing the wheel flanges into the rail, making it prone to derail.

The carriages should rock freely to take up any small imperfections in your track.

7 - Lubricate the squeaks.

Sometimes the smallest drop of light oil will cure a problem with your model train derailing. An unlubricated or snaggy wheel, or coupler, can cause a slight tip over, or jar, which usually forces the wheel flange to snag the rail and derail your model train.

Oil attracts dust and can damage paintwork, so make sure you use only the smallest amount required.

Now you have no reason to put up with your model train derailing.

It usually comes down to a small bit of maintenance from time to time. With the quality most manufacturers are producing today, and some ongoing maintenance, you can make model train derailments a thing of the past.

How to Grow Your Church

Is your church struggling to increase membership? Here are 10 church growth tips courtesy of DoubleYourChurchAttendance.com

==========
TIP # 11
==========


To build a great church:

NEVER REJECT ANYTHING FROM YOUR PEOPLE:

"Even if all they offer you is a glass of water, drink it. They are
offering it as to unto the Lord!"

As a pastor, you are ordained to serve and to lead your people
forward in their experience of God's grace.

What they offer to you as a pastor of God's children is offered as
to God. Accept it, and be grateful to God, regardless of how small
the gift.


==========
TIP # 10
==========


To build a great church:

REMEMBER THAT YOUR PEOPLE MAKE YOU WHAT YOU ARE.

A good church and congregation can make a good pastor; a poor
church and congregation can make a poor pastor.

Likewise a good church and congregation who are led by a poor
pastor, who has not the love of his people nor the interests of God
in his heart, can be the ruination of a church.

Be observant and thankful for the opportunities that you have been
given to serve God and your people, and the many ways that they
work together to make you who you are.


==========
TIP # 9
==========


To build a great church:

BE WITH YOUR PEOPLE IN THEIR TIMES OF NEED.

When a person is to have an operation, go to the hospital and have
a period of prayer with them.

When a couple is first married, spend some time with them. When a
baby comes, rejoice over the coming of the baby.

Little things like these make a pastor dear to the hearts of his or
her people.


==========
TIP # 8
==========


To build a great church:

GIVE THE PEOPLE SOME TIME AT HOME.

Many of your people are tired. As pastors, you preach to them long
and hard that they should have a Christian home, and then give them
no time to have a Christian home.

The pastor should encourage his or her people to spend some time at
home. Then, he should take care not to plan such a heavy church
program that it will consume all of their nights.

With some time at home together, it becomes easier for the family
to pray together and to stay together.

When families know and understand that the pastor is genuinely
concerned about their problems and concerns, then they will love
and appreciate him more, and support him in his work.


==========
TIP # 7
==========


To build a great church:

EAT IN THE HOMES OF YOUR PEOPLE.

It is good for the pastor to be in the homes of his or her people.

When a member invites you for a meal, try never to reject such an
invitation. It is a mutual blessing.

The people need to fellowship with their pastor, and the pastor
needs the fellowship of the people. Children especially will know
the pastor better when he visits in their home.

If the pastor is kind, thoughtful, and understanding to the
children,they will become his pals, and will feel a kinship with
him, which will be of great value and comfort to them as they grow.


==========
TIP # 6
==========


To build a great church:

MAKE YOUR PEOPLE FEEL THAT YOU ARE THEIRS.

People like to feel that they have a pastor. They like to feel
that the pastor belongs to them, and equally that they belong to
him. Do not let yourself allow your people to feel secondary.

Spend some time with them. Many pastors spend so much time with
each other, or with the high leaders of the church, that their
people do not feel that they can fellowship with him themselves.

Live with and among your people, love them, pray for them, work
with them and for them and seek their good, not your own.


==========
TIP # 5
==========


To build a great church:

DO NOT USE YOUR PEOPLE TO BUILD A GREAT WORK, BUT INSTEAD USE YOUR
WORK TO BUILD A GREAT PEOPLE!

Regardless of your own desires, it is not the job of the pastor to
build great churches.

It IS the job of the pastor to LIFT PEOPLE UP to be GREAT
CHRISTIANS! To use the people only to build great works misses the
point of the Church.

It is the sacred task of the pastor to USE GOOD WORKS TO BUILD A
GREAT PEOPLE.

The greatest product of a pastor's effort is not to build tall
monuments to himself, or even to God.

The greatest work of the pastor is to LEAD a Christian to growth in
the grace of the Lord, and not merely to see his membership grow.

Individuals are important. Each is created in the very image of
God.

When the pastor learns to see his people as individuals and
not as a flock, and to rejoice more over a Christian who grows in
his or her faith than over a building that goes up, THEN he has
developed a TRUE PASTORS HEART.



==========
TIP # 4
==========


To build a great church:

PRAY FOR YOUR PEOPLE.

The pastor should call the names of his or her people in prayer,
especially those who have burdens, illnesses, and heartaches.

When a family is having trouble, the pastor should pray for them.
Often a little note or a phone call from you will be a tremendous
encouragement to individual members and their families.


==========
TIP # 3
==========


To build a great church:

EXPRESS YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR PEOPLE.

Some pastors carry a little pad around with them, and when they
think of some member who has been a blessing to them, the church,
or the community, they jot the name down, and later write that
member a personal note, or express their appreciation personally.

As a pastor, your people do so much for you - they pray for you,
overlook your faults, forget your mistakes, and make you what you
are. Remember always to express to them your love and appreciation.



==========
TIP # 2
==========


To build a great church:

LOVE YOUR PEOPLE

Ask God to bless you with a heart full of genuine love for the
people that you serve.

This does not mean that you need to always condone what they do.

As a parent scolds a child, the pastor who scolds his people
because he is tired of their sinning and squabbling is wrong.

A pastor whose heart is sincerely broken because of the sins of
his people, and scolds them for their own good (and not his), is
right.

Many an otherwise intelligent, educated pastor has failed in his
or her duty to their church AND to God, because of a fundamental
lack of a deep, abiding love for his people.


==========
TIP # 1
==========


One of the most sacred relationships in all of the world, is the
relationship that the pastor of a church should have with his or
her people.

God is not served when the people are dissatisfied with their
pastor. ? Nor is God served when the pastor has a bitter attitude
toward his people.

In the church, to serve God, the people and the pastor should
love one another, pray together, work together, and give together.

Healing Yourself and Your Relationship Self Help Tips

Relationships are supposed to be able to bring out the best in us but many times it is the root for needing self help advice. Most self esteem issues are directly tied to relationships we are in. It doesn't matter if you are dating or in a marriage or just in love, it can either make us feel better or worse about ourselves. We strive to find the one who will love us and make us feel like we are on top of the world, unfortunately that doesn't always happen.

One thing that many will try to do is find out if the reason for your difficulties in your relationships is because of the problems between the two of you or is it because of problems that originated early on in either your life or the other persons life. It can be exhausting trying to find the original root of the matter but one thing is obvious, you have problems now.

The best thing to do is to try and fix the relationship that you are in now so that you and your spouse or partner can help overcome each other challenges. You may be interested in reading self help books and utilize different self help techniques. If your relationship is strong, though, there will be no more need to concentrate on healing yourself because you will have a partner to help you overcome. First, though, you need to work on building the relationship. Seek out some good marriage counselors or others who can give good relationship advice.

One thing that is going to help is to never allow yourself to be criticized, or at least don't internalize it. Also make sure you don't criticize the one you love. There is no such thing as constructive criticism. There is nothing constructive about it. All it does is make one feel less powerful than the other and it is used to manipulate much in the same way an abuser does. A relationship is not a power struggle and it is not a war. Quit treating it like that and there won't be any fights to win or lose.

There are some more things that you can do to help your relationship. Where you are separated by beliefs, try talking it out and instead of pointing out where each other is wrong or where their weaknesses are try to find common ground. Take time to discuss what each other's roles are in the relationship. Also discuss what you expect of the other. Let your partner know what hurts but also let them know what it is you want or need them to do and try to offer the same to them.

Whether you are dating or involved in a marriage there are many things that you can do to help better the situation. Once the two of you have worked to repair the relationship and put away any talks of divorce, separation, or just breaking up, the two of you can work together to make each other better people. Your relationship will help you help yourself image and will help you overcome all those things that hold you back.

More in the series by Wade Winger on how you can make money using Google and Clickbank.

Ok, we've learned a little about affiliate programs, ClickBank and
Google AdWords.

Now you may be wondering how this is going to make you profits?

Ok let's put everything together to show you how this works.

First you would go to ClickBank and search through the 11,000+
affiliate programs for a product you would like to promote.

For this example let's say that you choose to promote an ebook
called "How to play the Guitar like a pro".

Let's say the ebook is selling for $49 with a 50% commission for
affiliates.

This means if you send people to the website and they buy the
ebook, you will make $24.50 for every ebook sold. That's excellent
money. (ClickBank takes a small percentage but you will still make
about $22 per sale)

You are making just as much as the author of the ebook. 50%
commissions are actually very common with ClickBank products.

So now that you have an affiliate product that you want to promote,
it's time to start promoting the product.

This is where Google AdWords comes into play.

With Google AdWords you would bid on some key search terms such as:

Playing guitar
Learning guitar
Guitar
Pro guitar
Guitar for beginners
Guitar lessons
Beginning guitar
Guitar guide

When someone does a Google search for one of these terms, your ad
will show up. If that person clicks on your ad you will be charged
the amount that you bid for that search term, sometimes less.

Let's say that your bid price per click is $0.07 .

If the guitar ebook is a fairly good converting product you can
expect to sell one ebook for every 100 clicks on your Google
AdWords ad.

If that were the case, it would cost you: $7 in advertising to sell
one ebook, which pays you a commission of $24.50. That's a profit
of $17.50.

Granted figures change from product to product and circumstance,
but there is so much potential out there, all you have to do is
find the right product to market and you can make some serious
profits.

What makes Google AdWords and ClickBank such a powerful
combination? ClickBank supplies the high quality products and
AdWords supplies a very effective way to advertise those products.
Both websites are leaders in their respective fields and are highly
recommended
throughout the industry.

Both AdWords and ClickBank are very simple to use and can be set up
in minutes.

Both systems can be automated. After getting everything set up, you
can just let it be and the profits will continue to come in.

No website is needed.

Millions of dollars have been made using this combination. Millions
will continue to be made using this combination.

Google continues to get more and more popular, which means more
potential purchasers.

ClickBank continues to increase its product base (11,000+ and
growing).

With both Google and ClickBank growing, there is plenty of room for
everyone to make profits and it will continue to get better as the
Internet grows.

Training Your Cat To Sit

Kelly Braid has come out with a new ebook called "Purrfectly Trained Cat". Over the next few days she will share with us some or her secrets.

Today we are going to learn how to train our cat to sit down. This
is a relatively easy behavior to teach your cat and it will amaze
numerous people. Cats are much more capable than most people think!

It is a good idea to first teach your cat how to come every time
you call her by following the directions at the bottom third of
this page:

http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=MrFWx&m=1lY6rapV_dVKWi&b=ktseHAoJCtPhv6vtg2UbFQ.

It is also good to remember that your cat will learn much quicker using both visual and verbal commands. Now have a handful of her favorite treats, and you're ready to begin.

1. Have your cat come.

2. Hold a treat between your middle finger and thumb with your
palm facing down and your index finger pointing up. When she
arrives, bring the treat slightly above her head right between
her eyes. Doing so will make your cat tilt her head back so
she can keep an eye on it. Every time a cat does this, she
will automatically sit down.

3. As your cat is sitting down, say "Sarah, sit!" which of
course, is the verbal command for this trick. Also bring your
index finger down towards her back end, so it is pointing
towards the floor. Cats do learn how to connect the directive
with the action of sitting and will learn to sit every time
you want her to.

4. Once your cat's bottom reaches the ground, praise her. It is
essential for you to time it accurately.

5. Give your cat a food treat once you have praised.

Repeat the same procedure several times this session and over the coming weeks until she is comfortable enough with what you expect from her. Once she is capable of sitting down on your command, continue to give food treats periodically.

Tomorrow we will talk about marking and a few fixes for it.

Until then, enjoy teaching your cat her new trick!

Chat soon,
Kelly Braid

Kelly is a cat lover. She lives in Vancouver, Canada and spends
much of her spare time helping others to live more harmoniously
with their cats. Her book "Purrfectly Trained Cat-Teach Your Cat to
Do What YOU Want" teaches cat owners everything they need to know
to live happily and harmoniously with their cat.

Genealogy -What is the difference between a primary and secondary source?

Indeed, not all sources are created equal!



As a working genealogist, you'll need to know the vital difference between primary and secondary sources.



A primary source is a document - or even sometimes a person - that is contemporary with the period you're writing about. Let's take, for example, the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Primary sources for this event would be all news accounts generated at the time, including newspaper stories. Additionally, any person who was present at the event can be counted as a primary source as well. Even those individuals who were not actually in Dallas at the time of the shooting, but were alive and can attest to their feelings, what they saw on television, as well as the mood of the nation and the world, are considered primary sources. So this would even include diaries of individuals who witnessed the event, and government documents and other papers generating a response to it.



Secondary sources to this event, by contrast, include books written after the event,

re-creations of the event; and accounts of individuals not alive, created by people who researched primary sources. Historians use secondary sources in several ways. First, they may use these when they just can't access the primary source. Or they may start by reading the secondary sources with an eye to discovering precisely which primary sources that author used. And then they head straight to that source itself to see what else can be gleaned from it.



In pursuing research, every historian attempts to get as many primary sources as possible. Keep in mind that you are indeed a full-blooded historian, so to speak. You have an obligation to use as many primary sources as possible. Even in your pursuit of oral history - the retelling of the family tree from older family members - you need to retrace these tales to discover documentation - primary sources - that verify the stories. Let's face it; sometimes we all remember some aspects of events that may not be quite accurate.



For the genealogist, a good example of a primary source is a birth certificate of Aunt Jane- an original one dating from the time of the individual's birth. A secondary source would be the interview with Aunt Jane's daughter Ingrid who said that Aunt Jane was born in 1932. Ingrid wasn't present at the birth.

Training Your Cat- Scratching

Kelly Braid has come out with a new ebook called "Purrfectly Trained Cat". Over the next few days she will share with us some or her secrets.

Today, I want to talk about why cats scratch, and how you can redirect the scratching to more appropriate objects.

Cats scratch because they need to. It's an instinctive behavior and we cannot stop it from happening. Your cat scratches for three reasons:

- To mark his territory-not only leaving visible marks but more
importantly, his scent from the glands in his paws. This scent
although indiscernible to us, is very distinctive to other animals
and marks the area as his.

- Exercise-to sharpen his claws so he can defend himself, as well
as stretch and flex his body.

- Pleasure-it just feels good

It is important to find objects that are appealing for your cat to scratch to draw him away from things like your furniture. First, you need to check out what he is scratching now. Look at the texture and sturdiness of the object and then try to replicate it.

Examples of things cats like to scratch include corrugated cardboard, carpeting, or even a chunk of a tree. It is also important to make sure the new scratching post is sturdy and has a stable base. If it falls loudly to the floor or on your cat, it will be worthless.

The new scratching post must now be placed next to object he previously scratched.

The next step is to make the old objects undesirable to him. This may involve covering the areas with things like aluminum foil, plastic, sandpaper, double sided tape, or plastic carpet runner with the pointy side facing out.

Now you will begin to gradually move the new scratching post to an area more suitable to you, but keep in mind it has to be somewhere kitty frequents as well. Putting it near where he sleeps is a great idea as he will always scratch shortly after waking up. If you put the post somewhere he rarely goes, he will return to the old object as soon its available.

After a few weeks, you can start removing the undesirable objects that are covering his former scratching areas. Remove one at a time and wait a few days to see how he does. If he goes back to the old object, just recover it for a bit longer as you are going to fast for him.

A few tricks to get him to use the new post include rubbing catnip on it or pulling a string toy over it to get him used to playing with it.

If you don't follow these vital (but easy) steps, you'll continue to get the same results...more shredded furniture and more spending money.


If you use the easy methods laid out for you, both you and your cat will live a much happier more harmonious life together.

Period.

And that's not just a promise, it's a guarantee.

In fact, try out the methods in my eBook for sixty days.

If your cat isn't the best behaved cat in the neighborhood, just let me know and I'll give you ALL of your money back.

And YOU CAN KEEP THE ENTIRE EBOOK FOR FREE.

No tricks, no gimmicks, no B.S.


If you're serious about keeping your cat happy....and fixing his bad behaviors for good ones, then you'll want to put the information in the eBook to work for you right now.

Google Adwords Can Make You Rich

More in the series by Wade Winger on how you can make money using Google and Clickbank.


In the last few posts, you have learned about affiliate programs and about ClickBank.

With ClickBank, you have access to thousands of affiliate products to market. Now it's time to find a place to market those products and start making some profits.

This is were Google and Google AdWords come into play.

What are Google AdWords?

Google AdWords are little advertisements displayed on Google. These advertisements appear on the right hand side of the browser every time a search is done on the Google search engine.

Anybody including you and I can purchase advertisements on Google.

How do Google AdWords Work?

Google AdWords uses the pay-per-click method.

Pay-per-click just means that the advertisers pay a predetermined amount of money every time someone clicks on their advertisement.

For Google, advertisers bid to have their ads shown when a specific search term is entered.

The higher the bid the higher on the page the ad will show. Being at the top of the page will get you more clicks than ads lower on the page.

Advertisers bid anywhere from $0.05 to $50 per click. That click sends the Internet surfers to a website address of the advertisers choosing.

The thing that makes this advertising method superior over other methods is that your ad will only be shown to people that are interested. It is a very targeted method that leads to more sales.

Let's say that you are selling flowers. You would bid on the search term "flowers". When somebody does a search on Google for the term "flowers", your ad will appear.

On the other hand, when someone does a search for the term "dogs", your ad will not appear because you did not bid on that search term.

You get to decide which search terms are relevant to your campaign
and bid on that search term.
What is so special about Google AdWords? Simply put Google AdWords are better than any other advertising method on the Internet. The second you put up a Google AdWords ad your will start to see results.

Here are some of the reasons that make Google AdWords superior:

- Google boasts over 200 million searches per day

- It only takes fifteen minutes for your ads to appear

- You only need a minimum of $5 to open an account

- The traffic you get from Google is of very high quality

- AdWords is simple to use and beginners can catch on fast

- AdWords is perfect for testing potential ad campaigns

Granted, there are tons of places to market your affiliate programs on the Internet. But in my experience, Google AdWords has brought me more sales than all of the others combined.


To Your Success,

Adwords - 5 Biggest Mistakes

We have created a list of the top 5 mistakes that you should avoid when working with Adwords.

(1) Don't Bid Too High
Unless you have predetermined data that indicate that a high bid will return an positive ROI, we recommend that you keep your bids fairly low. You may not receive high amounts of traffic within very competitive niches, but you will able to collect CPC and conversion data before getting yourself in too deep.

(2) Generalized Keywords

General search terms can suck up a lot of adspend without producing any conversions. People that are searching very broad terms like "dog, money, flowers, and phones" are likely not to buy as there are still in the research phase of the buying lifecycle.


(3) Small Daily Budget
If you set your daily budget too low your ad will not get served. Google has its own calculation where it determines the average volume of traffic, and then takes your daily budget and then serves your ad accordingly. If your budget is too low, you will not even show up within Google's sponsored listings.

(4) The Evil Content Network

Probably the most common mistake people make is using the content network. Unless you have great experience, you should avoid the content network at all expenses. When you create a new campaign, the content network will be turned on by default. You can incur large amounts of adspend within the content network very quickly, and the quality of the traffic from content is not near the quality of search traffic.

(5) Destination URL = Affiliate ID


Many new advertisers do not understand how they will get credited for a sale, and do not use their affiliate linking code as the destination URL (when direct linking to merchant). This means that this advertiser will not get credit for any sale, thus giving the merchant "free" traffic. Make sure you include your affiliate code in the destination URL or you will not get credited for sales.
These are just some of the mistakes that can be made as an advertiser at Google. We outline these mistakes as well as others in detail within Beating Adwords. The difference between a marketer who becomes successful online and one who does not can come down to the mistakes that one makes. Some people cannot afford to waste their money on mistake ridden Adwords campaign, therefore are taken out of the Internet marketing game as soon as they make a few.


Learn how to make Google Adwords work to your favor and you will become a success!

Genealogy -The Family Group Sheet

In the last lesson, you learned what a pedigree chart is and how to use it properly. In this lesson, you learn about the second most important document you'll produce from your studies: the family group sheet.



Where the pedigree chart focuses on an individual's history, the Family Group Sheet spotlights an entire family (not surprisingly, considering its name!). This particular tool provides a space for a couple and their children. It also contains fields to record the birth, marriage, death and locations of burial for each member.



Many of these sheets also allow you space to record the spouse's name and the name of each child. It's also valuable because this document allows you to record comments about family members or documents you've uncovered.



As you progress with your research, you'll discover just how valuable a tool this document is. This sheet allows you to include information not only on the individuals, but on the children of your ancestors - and their spouses. If your pedigree is a portrait of your life, then consider the family group sheet a wide-angle photograph of your family.



When you have difficulty locating a birth certificate on a specific ancestor, turning to this sheet and checking on his/her sibling may yield more clues. Knowing something about a missing ancestor's brother or sister, at least gives you a starting point in looking for some of the necessary documentation to confirm his membership in your family.



In Tip #6, I'll explain the difference between a primary and secondary source. This comes in handy when it's time to start documenting your research. Until then, I'd like to leave you with another fact from my file, Which President is Related to Whom?



The eighteenth president of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant (gotta love a president whose initials are U.S.!) was seventh cousin of Millard Fillmore! And despite that, he still got elected president! Imagine that!

Why Home Brewing Is The Best Option

For centuries, families have been making their own homemade beer and wine. Sure, there have been professionals that have sold their own products, but for the most part, the skills and knowledge needed to make beer or wine at home were passed down from generation to generation, just like recipes for bread or the skills it took to make furniture or horse-drawn wagons.

If you're someone that's been brewing beer on your own for some time, or know someone else that has and that can teach you the "ins and outs" of the process, then you have an advantage over those just starting out. However, what if you are a "newbie" to the hobby? What to do? Where to begin?

Some people are very adventurous and experimental, and can easily rig up their own brewing equipment with some things they have around the house, or understand the process enough to create their own little brewery with bits and pieces they can buy.

But for others, you might want to opt for a homebrew kit, easily available from your local homebrew supply store.

Why opt for a kit? There are a few reasons. One is that while home brewing is a very simple an easy to learn hobby, there is still some science involved in the process. If, for example, you fail to attach an airlock to your fermentation container or don't do it properly, air can get into your mix and ruin it completely. Or, if you use the wrong type of pail for your fermentation container, you can ruin the flavor of it when the plastic or plastic coating sits against the mixture for so long.

Many homebrew kits also come with a good sample of ingredients and beer yeast; obviously these are very important for your recipes as well.

Sometimes it's cheaper to buy things all together in one package than it is to pick and choose them individually. This is typically true of beer kits. You can find each item that you need individually, but often a kit is cheaper when you add up the prices of each of these items.

And of course kits are just easier for someone starting out. There's no guesswork as to how to affix an airlock or as to whether or not the fermentation container is going to work properly. These kits come with easy to follow, step by step instructions. Once you've gotten used to the process of home brewing you can step out on your own and try other products, but for the beginner, a home brew kit may be your absolute best option.

If you want to try home brewing and have your friends in awe, grab a copy of Better Your Brewing:

Get Your Partner To Agree To Relationship Counseling

Relationship counseling is often a last resort for couples on the brink of the divorce. But some couples try counseling early on when the first problems rear their heads. Counseling is certainly something that a couple shouldn’t be afraid to try, even if the problems are relatively minor. Often, catching small problems early with counseling can prevent bigger problems down the road. Early counseling can even something prevent a future divorce.

Today’s couples seem more eager to try to new things, which makes counseling a good option. Couples married years ago seem less likely to go for counseling or try new approaches, perhaps because it wasn’t something commonly done when they were younger. Very often marriages of 30 or 40 years now end in divorce, which is a shame because they’ll never know if relationship counseling could have helped save the marriage.

If you feel like you need relationship counseling, be sure to as your partner to go to counseling with you in a non-judgmental way. If you ask him or her to go to counseling in such a way as it seems like you are accusing them of being the problem and needing counseling, you’re likely to encounter resistance to the idea. Try to make it clear that you want the counseling for yourself if nothing else.

If you ask your partner to go to counseling because you have some issues you need to work on, they’re more likely to view the idea favorably. Explain that you think you need some help to be able to contribute more to the relationship, and to learn how to be a better partner or spouse. Don’t accuse the other person of need counseling. Even if you believe that they are most of the problem, don’t say so. Once you’re in relationship counseling, they will learn tips and techniques for being better within the relationship, just as you will.

Don’t be afraid to suggest relationship counseling, whether you’ve been in the relationship for 3 months, 3 years or two decades. It’s never too late to try counseling to resolve problems. And it’s never too late to try to keep small problems from becoming big ones. If the relationship is relatively new, you might think that you’re admitting to problems and admitting that the relationship is rocky by suggesting counseling. But that’s not true. But facing any obstacles now, you’re making the relationship stronger in the long run.

If your partner believes that your suggestion of relationship counseling means that the relationship isn’t perfect, and maybe even is doomed, calmly explain that that isn’t true. Just because you’re willing to admit that everything is perfect shows that you’re willing to make necessary changes to keep the other person and yourself happy.

If your partner refuses, go on your own. While the counseling would work best if both of you go, you can go and work on things to improve yourself. If your partner sees you going to relationship counseling, they’re more likely to give it a try.

Broken Trust - How To Stop A Divorce

There are many who want to know how to stop a divorce and there are many answers. Not all of them may apply. People get divorced for many reasons. One of the most common has to do with broken trust.

If the reason that you are in the situation where your spouse is because you have been unfaithful there are things that you should and shouldn't do to help. If there is something that you did that isthe problem, don't tell them that you can change or try to talk them into believing it, make the change. If you seriously want to know how to stop a divorce start with accepting responsibility.

Actions speak louder than words. If it is something that is a matter of trust that you have hurt, don'tdo it again. In fact don't do anything that will give your spouse any reason to question your faithfulness. If you want the to love you and trust you, you have to prove that you are worthy of trust again. It will take time and hopefully you have not burned them so much that they will never trust you. If you have broken trust, the truth is you don't deserve to be trusted.

It is the efforts to be faithful that will assure them that you are changing. Don't deny that you have betrayed their trust and don't try to justify it. Don't get mad because they don't trust you and don't argue about it. If you messed up, own up and take responsibility.

There may be situations where the one you love has been guilty of breaking trust and has been guilty of infidelity. Think of how you would want them to give you another chance. If you feel that you would be it very well may be that they deserve one as well. Put yourself in their shoes and treat them the way you would want to be treated. Try to understand why this happened. It very well may be that it can be resolved. Many times, however, it can not be.

Ask how to stop a divorce by going to friends who have been in your shoes and been through a divorce or from other sources where they have been trained in how to deal with these situations. If your relationship is important at all, it is well worth trying to find help before breaking up is the only option. Try to find the best relationship advice you can.

Be ready for depression to come because of what the two of you are going through. It isn't easy to deal with this and you may need some kind of therapy to help you cope and understand what is happening. Love relationships can be great but they can also bring a great deal of stress when there is broken trust involved. If you want to know how to stop a divorce, seek as much help as possible. You don't have to do it alone.

Cheating Spouse - Looking Beyond The Evidence

When you first suspect your partner of cheating, even thinking about your partner with another person can cause unbearable pain. Adding to this the fact that your partner may go to a lot of trouble to hide any evidence, knowing for sure that he or she is humiliating you is even more difficult.

A number of frustrated spouses write in to me in desperation, against a brick wall when it comes to finding any evidence of infidelity. Partners delete incoming call lists, cellphone history, password-protect their computers, and setup private bank accounts that are impossible to track. They may disappear overnight or for several days, with no trace of where they have been or a viable explanation. For some people, the cheating partner almost seems invincible, waving their infidelity in the face of their partner, smug in their successful efforts in destroying and eliminating all damning evidence.

At this level it can almost become a power game, and for those people left struggling to make sense of what has happened, the infidelity is now only one part of a long chain of humiliations. Without sufficient proof, the cheating partner continues their behavior, defying anyone to prove otherwise.

But in looking at this, is there any hope? What do these people need to do to find the proof they need that their partner is cheating? How does a partner in need bring this to some sort of closure?


Instead of focusing on the act of cheating, it may be helpful here to focus on the wider issues of lack of respect, hostility, humility, and arrogance. Instead of focusing on the cheating behavior, greater benefit may be derived through taking a step away from that and focusing on the motivation.

* What motivates your partner to be secretive?
* What motivates your partner to delete information from their phones?
* What motivates them to ignore your pain, and not answer your fears with love and reassurance?
* Does it take your attention away from having to deal with the bigger issues in your marriage?
* Do you need irrefutable proof to believe it is happening?
* Do you need an excuse to leave the marriage?

You don't need proof of cheating to know your marriage is in trouble. Sometimes the ability to step back and examine the atmosphere of distrust in your marriage is enough to realize that things are horribly wrong. It may be about more than just cheating. If your relationship is in trouble, what has your partner done lately to demonstrate their love for you?

If your partner is keeping secrets from you and deleting information, instead of focusing on the proof lost, focus on the action. Why do they need to delete details? Focusing on the motivations instead of the proof may bring you closer to the answers you are seeking.

Simple Ideas How To Get Back With Your Ex

Learning how to get back with your ex is important to you because they may very well be the best thing for you. You weren't ready for that relationship to end. If it was a dating relationship that ended or a marriage that for some reason turned ugly and ended in divorce, it could be that there may be a second chance. If you aren't ready to give up on that love that got away you will want to know how to get back with your ex.

If love was once there then the possibility for it still being there may be real. You may not be able to turn back the clock or make the mistakes disappear but you can give that love another chance to live again. If you have both been able to step back away from the mistake(s) and have been given enough time to breathe you may be able to come back together just to talk. You won't want to rush right back into it though.

There were problems that interrupted the romance. You need to make sure that you are able to move past it and have any unresolved issues resolved. How can you think about starting where you left off if where you left off was a bad place. Work through the problems. If you can't then you won't be able to get back with your ex boyfriend or girlfriend for very long.

The break up may have happened because of one event. It could have been because of that one behavior that one of you couldn't handle the other doing. Whatever the problem was you need to find out how to either accept deal with the problem or find out how it can be fixed.

If the issue was one cheating on the other, that may be hard to overcome. Trust has been broken and getting that trust back will be difficult. Overcoming a heartbreak because of that is difficult and it needs to be given both time and a reason to believe that there can be trust again. This is an area that marriage counseling or other type of couple's therapy can be helpful.

It is important not to come across as needy. You may feel desperate to get them back but this will only be seen as something that will give your ex power over you. You need to seem confident and that you are OK with yourself. The more confident you feel, the more likely they are going to be impressed with you and find you attractive once again.

More than anything If you want to know how to get back with your ex, you are going to be confident that it is the right thing to do. Always ask yourself if this is the right thing to do. Make sure that you are going to be better off with them than you are without them. If it is only going to turn bad again then all your work trying to figure out how to get back with your ex will have been in vain.

You: The Perfect Genealogical Starting Point

What better place to start documenting your family than with those living relatives gathered all around you? Think about it. Your grandparent or great uncle isn't getting any younger. Now, is the perfect time to start documenting his life, as well as the stories he has to tell?


The very first step to documenting your family history is to start with the person you know best: yourself. Start by writing down everything you know about yourself. Write as if the individuals who will be reading this document know absolutely nothing about you. (Because at some future date, they won't! You'll be just a name on a piece of paper to them!)


Record your name, your birthdate, the location of your birth, as well as your parents' information. Be sure to include your mother's maiden name.


Then record all your vital statistics. Were you baptized, christened, confirmed, bar mitzahed? You can also include the years you went to school, as well as the names of the schools.


Don't leave anything out. Have you been married? Be sure to include the full name of your spouse or spouses, as well as any children who may have been produced through these marriages. If any of these marriages ended in divorce, record the dates of the divorce. This is the information that future generations will use to learn about your family.


In Tip #5 of 10 Tips to Unearthing Your Family History, I'll give you some information on what is one of the most important tools of your search . . .

In the meantime, here's another bit of presidential genealogy from my Which President is Related to Whom? file.

He Dumped Me, How Will I Ever Survive?

If you are saying "he dumped me. How will I ever survive?" mere words in an article will not give you comfort. It may help to know that while you’ve broken up, you are not a broken person.

When you’ve been in the position that "he dumped me," you have two fears. The first is that you will never recover from the pain. The second is that no one will ever love you again.

Take heart, dear. The fear is real. The pain is real. But, the situation exists in your head, not in the real world. While one part of your life may be over, your life is not over.

You still have friends and family who care about you. In fact, you now have more time to spend with them. Many times, when you get into an involved romantic relationship, we lose touch with the other people who bring meaning to your life. You now have a chance to reconnect with them.

In fact, sharing your loss with them may encourage them to share their break up experiences with you. When you say, "he dumped me," that allows them to be vulnerable about how they've been hurt. You will begin to see that your pain is not unique. You will also be able to see that other people have lived full and complete lives after a break up.

In addition to having more time for others who you care about, you will have more time to work on the issues in your life. Many times, when you are in a relationship, the activities you care about get pushed aside if your boyfriend isn't interested in them. This is a good time to get re-involved in the things that matter to you.

If no particular activity comes to mind, then maybe you need to get a hobby! No, really, when you say "he dumped me," what you tell yourself is that you are worthless. When you take up a new activity and invest in yourself, you prove to yourself that you matter.

There are all kinds of activities you can get involved with. The best thing to do is to join a group, class, or workshop. For instance, joining a hiking club will let you meet lots of people who enjoy the great outdoors. A ballroom dancing class will introduce you to people who enjoy the finer things in life. A writer’s workshop will be filled with creative types.

As you begin to re-engage with the world, you will lose the sense of desperation you felt when he dumped you. You will make new friends who share a common interest. And, you may even meet someone special to spend your time with.

The truth is that you will find someone to date again. Your soul mate is out there.

Your ex may have done you a favor by breaking up with you because now you have a chance to find someone who fits you better.

And, always remember, the best revenge when "he dumped me" is moving on!

With ClickBank, you have access to thousands of affiliate products to market. Now it's time to find a place to market those products and start making some profits.

This is were Google and Google AdWords come into play.

What are Google AdWords?

Google AdWords are little advertisements displayed on Google. These advertisements appear on the right hand side of the browser every time a search is done on the Google search engine.

Anybody including you and I can purchase advertisements on Google.

How do Google AdWords Work?

Google AdWords uses the pay-per-click method.

Pay-per-click just means that the advertisers pay a predetermined amount of money every time someone clicks on their advertisement.

For Google, advertisers bid to have their ads shown when a specific search term is entered.

The higher the bid the higher on the page the ad will show. Being at the top of the page will get you more clicks than ads lower on the page.

Advertisers bid anywhere from $0.05 to $50 per click. That click sends the Internet surfers to a website address of the advertisers choosing.

The thing that makes this advertising method superior over other methods is that your ad will only be shown to people that are interested. It is a very targeted method that leads to more sales.

Let's say that you are selling flowers. You would bid on the search term "flowers". When somebody does a search on Google for the term "flowers", your ad will appear.

On the other hand, when someone does a search for the term "dogs", your ad will not appear because you did not bid on that search term.

You get to decide which search terms are relevant to your campaign and bid on that search term.

What is so special about Google AdWords?
Simply put Google AdWords are better than any other advertising method on the Internet. The second you put up a Google AdWords ad your will start to see results.

Here are some of the reasons that make Google AdWords superior:

- Google boasts over 200 million searches per day

- It only takes fifteen minutes for your ads to appear

- You only need a minimum of $5 to open an account

- The traffic you get from Google is of very high quality

- AdWords is simple to use and beginners can catch on fast

- AdWords is perfect for testing potential ad campaigns

Granted, there are tons of places to market your affiliate programs on the Internet. But in my experience, Google AdWords has brought me more sales than all of the others combined.

How To Grow Hair Fast

Want to Supercharge your Hair-Growth Speed? A Professional Hairdresser Reveals a Proven Solution That Will Increase The Length of Your Hair Growth, Up to 5X Faster!

Have you given up on growing your hair the length that you desire? When I was younger and playing in a rock band, women would complain to me all the time that I had longer hair than they did. Has hard as they tried they just couldn't get their hair to grow as long as mind. Did I have a secret? No. In fact I didn't know there even was a secret to growing hair longer. My secret was just that I didn't get it cut much.

And apparently my hair grew much faster than most people's. And it still does. Even though I now sport a very short haircut it seems to grow faster than those around me. Yet I still have no idea why.

Fortunately someone else does know why. And they've written an extremely helpful guide called "How To Grow Hair Fast".

The "How to Grow Hair Fast" guide will show you how to incorporate techniques and strategies to supercharge your hair growth. Hundreds of people have already learned to optimize their hair length in dramatically less time, and now you can too! In this guide, you'll learn about the various components needed to accomplish your desired results, including:

-Intake of vital nutrients

-Removing hair-growing inhibitors from your diet and lifestyle

-Hair follicle stimulation techniques and recipes

-Proper hair washing/caring techniques

-Easy recipes you can make to help your hair grow fast.


Here is one of of many tips found in this unique product. This one is on natural home remedies for hair growth. This is quote from the author's blog:

"Regular massaging of the scalp stimulates the hair follicles and enhances blood circulation. This promotes healthy hair growth so make sure to massage your head at least 10 minutes each day. Use the balls of your fingers and make gentle motions.

Rosemary is known to improve the quality of hair by opening the scalp’s blocked pores. Just mix one-half cup of rosemary with one cup of water and then mix the solution to half the amount of your shampoo. Use this mixture to clean your head in the same way that you use a shampoo.

Another option is to boil rosemary leaves in water and then use the liquid in washing your hair every day. You can also spray the liquid to your hair every morning. Rosemary helps in fighting dandruff which causes hair loss.

A combination of coconut oil, olive oil and castor oil is also an old remedy. Heat the solution and then apply it on your hair roots. After application, massage your head gently to stimulate the hair follicles.

Aloe vera is an effective plant when it comes to promoting hair growth. If you have this at home, get one leaf and then peel off the skin. You will see the gel-like substance inside and that is what you will apply to your hair. Massage it on your scalp and leave for 10 minutes or even overnight before rinsing.

Coconut milk can also be used as is. Apply on scalp, massage gently and rinse or leave it on your head for 10 to 15 minutes.

Apple vinegar can be used to rinse hair. All you have to do is mix one liter of cold water and one teaspoon of apple vinegar. The solution not only helps improve the hair’s condition but makes it shine as well.

Lemon juice is a common remedy. This can be mixed with egg and beaten before applying on hair or mixed with curd and mustard oil. Leave it for about half an hour and then rinse well. Lemon is ideal for those with oily hair.

For dandruff plagued scalp, add three to four drops of tea tree oil to a small amount of shampoo and use this to clean your hair."

    Train Your Cat - Does He Smell Different?

    Kelly Braid has come out with a new ebook called "Purrfectly Trained Cat". Over the next few days she will share with us some or her secrets.

    Today, I'm going to talk about a multi-cat household where one cat has been gone from the house for a period of time, usually to the vet, and the possible negative interaction between your cats upon his return.

    This is an issue for many cat owners and they have no idea why the cat who has remained at home is behaving the way he is. The home cat will usually hiss, growl and sometimes try to fight with the cat that has been gone. He will treat the away cat as he would any strange cat that has entered his domain, not like his fellow housemate who he has lived with in harmony for years. The away cat will then hiss and growl to defend himself, and possibly start a fight.

    As you know, cats rely more on their sense of smell than anything else. When the away cat returns, she smells different. The home cat will take one sniff and know without a doubt that this new cat does not belong in his territory. Then he will start hissing and fighting to defend his territory.

    Now what do you do? You start from the beginning. If you allow them to fight at this point, their relationship may never fully recover. It is imperative that you separate the two cats.

    When they are in separate rooms, take a towel or small stuffed animal and rub it on the small triangular, bald patch between the eye and ear of away cat and put it where home cat sleeps. Do the same rubbing with home cat and put the object with the away cat's sleeping area. The reason for this is because each cat's pheromones are exceptionally strong on this area of the cat. Both cats can then become used to the scent of the other. Try putting one cat in a room with a closed door, and allow the cats to acknowledge and smell the other through the opening at the bottom of the door.

    When away cat has had a chance to clean himself and remove some of the vet smell, try reintroducing them, slowly. If there is still tension, separate them again. Sometimes this smell will take a few days to dissipate. Also, if away cat is wearing a cone, the smell will continue to be on her as she can't clean herself and remove the scent.

    If the aggression is still evident after a week or more, the best option is to buy a facial pheromone like Feliway. This can be sprayed on a towel and after it has dried, wipe the towel on each. This synthetic facial pheromone will end the anger and have a calming affect on both cats.

    Kelly Braid

    Kelly is a cat lover. She lives in Vancouver, Canada and spends much of her spare time helping others to live more harmoniously with their cats. Her book "Purrfectly Trained Cat-Teach Your Cat to Do What YOU Want" teaches cat owners everything they need to know to live happily and harmoniously with their cat.

    Genealogy - Using A Pedigree Chart

    A pedigree chart, as used by genealogists, is a form that lists an individual family member and his direct ancestors along with all the important data about his life.

    This is a must-have chart. It's also just about the easiest one to use. And it wouldn't be a bad idea that you start your family history quest with it.

    The first chart you create will be all about . . . you! Then it branches back into history, showing your direct ancestors. Pedigree charts typically document four generations of a family. The chart usually leaves spaces to add names and dates for birth, marriage and death for each individual listed.

    You are placed on the first line on the chart. Your father's information is placed on the second line; your mother's information on the third line. From here, the chart takes two distinct routes. The first is following the ancestral routes of the individuals along the father's family history. This is the upper track of the form. The mother's route uses the bottom track.


    So, I can hear you say now, you've limited me to four generations. What do I do after that? Pull out another pedigree chart. Create a new one, starting with the fourth generation on your previous chart. Now, each individual in this generation is placed on the first line of his or her own pedigree chart. Each chart is given a number in order to keep track of "who's who", and reference their number on the original chart.


    Let's say you've created your pedigree chart. Your father's father (normally referred to as your great grandfather) is ancestor Number 8 on your original pedigree chart. As you find more documentation, you'll follow his family line still farther back into history.

    Now, you'll need to create a new chart. Be sure to designate this as "Chart Number 2. Right now it might not make a large difference, but as you begin to collect these charts, this simple tracking system becomes indispensable.
