How Can You Spot A Fake Online Bachelor Degree?

By Mary Jackson

Along with the growing popularity of obtaining an online Bachelor degrees, many bogus schools have cropped up to cash in, taking advantage of potential students seeking a genuine education to maintain their current level of employment, or achieve specific career goals. Unfortunately, the sales pitch attracts many students who do not possess the time, or the finances, to gain a college education. The main selling points may include easy graduation, no tests or end of semester exams, credit for life experiences, and lower tuition fees. Some diploma mills even have the audacity to make money through bulk emails offering to sell university degrees.

Therefore, with all the confusion generated, how can students sieve out the genuine from the bogus? This may be especially difficult for distance learning programs when students practically make their choices based on what is shown on a website. In many cases, especially for international students, it may not be feasible to visit the physical site of a college before enrolling. With this, making choices will really depend on the appearance and content of a website, which sometimes may not be an accurate judge of the creditability of a college.

The first thing to do is to verify the type of accreditation the college claims to have. Only 6 government agencies have been given the authority by the U.S. Department of Education, to award accreditation to colleges and universities offering online Bachelor degrees. Therefore, if a site brags about worldwide or nationwide accreditation, beware. Unless they specifically name the agency, chances are they are not a legitimate institution of higher education.

The six accreditation agencies given the authority to grant college and university accreditation are entrusted with governing the institutions within their geographical section of the United States as follows: New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA), Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA), Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NWCCU). With specific states for each agency, it is easier to check whether an online learning facility is accredited and registered.

Another tell-tale sign of bogus online bachelor degrees offered is when the university advertises itself through mass-mailing email featuring university degrees for sale. Many bogus distance learning institutions prey on people who are desperate for a degree, but don't have the time and money to go for proper education. That is why these colleges boast of degrees without any examinations, classes, studying or even waiting. There are even websites that offer online bachelor degrees for just a few hundred dollars which can be ordered and received within 7 days. Furthermore, some of them also have dubious accrediting links, stating accreditation from agencies which are not any one of the six listed above. Additionally, they offer fixed prices for their Master's, Bachelor's, and even Doctorate Degrees. Their justification for awarding degrees will be for giving credit to life experiences such as any type of work experience, any educational background, any workshops or community services attended as well as travel experience, hobbies and even on the number of books that a person has read!

In short, with the plethora of bogus degrees already causing employers to question online education, make sure your online Bachelor degree is earned from a college or university accredited by one of the six agencies endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education.

Learning, Teaching and Learning

By Jay Polmar

How do we teach to each other? How is it that we were taught everything that we now know?

At some points in history, knowledge was elitist and even a forbidden concept. In 399 BC, Socrates explained that he was known as the wisest of all men since he understood that he only knew about nothing. Socrates was ultimately executed because of his unyielding questioning to the Athens population to find out how they knew what they knew.

Today, we still ask Socrates questions and have yet to fully understand the answers; nevertheless, technology is bringing us closer and closer.

Science and technology discovered is that the human brain is capable of processing 10,000 to 50,000 units or single words in one minute. But, these are older statistics from the 1980s, but new technology studying speed reading combined with brain development research indicates that you can most likely read even faster. Most high school graduates read 200 words per minute, down from 252 wpm from 25 years ago. College students, only one or two years older, have improved to 120% words per minute simply from having to read so much and the brain practicing reading so much. Regardless, of your starting reading speed, " increases for 50-60% the first day is more than likely, in two days of reading practice " youve doubled your reading speed.

The brain is a computer composed of human organic materials. If you were to consider your brain as the hardware (CPU = Central Processing Unit or a computers own brain) and your mind (the thoughts you think) as the software, you wouldnt be far from what the scientists evaluating the brain think; that the mind and brain are component parts of our physical bodies is to give us an efficient way to learn more things.

The human mind is connected to our physical bodies to make life more convenient for us to learn and succeed. This amazing tool allows us to absorb a universe of knowledge in many different ways.

Childhood education creates the very first limitations to reading ability. Heres what the first two years usually look like to a young learner of language: 1. First, we are introduced to the alphabet and how each letter sounds. 2. Then, we move on to put letters together into syllables and hear their unique sounds. 3. Later, we formed words and their individual pronunciations. 4. Then, we progressed to sentences and lastly paragraphs, which we read aloud.

In that learning method, we move our lips slowly and carefully so that we would pronounce each syllable and each word clearly. There were entire classes dedicated to learning how to read out loud.

We did pronounce every single word correctly, and then we were praised by our teacher and we felt the thrill and excitement because we were learning so well. Soon, it was determined that we could indeed read, so we no longer read in the classroom out loud. Most of us, nevertheless, were still concentrating on the syllables and reading each word out loud to ourselves for confirmation. This phenomenon, called sub-vocalization, is what causes us to have the 200-300 words per minute limitation to our reading speeds in high school and University. Interestingly, its the same speed at which most people talk (unless you live in the Southern US and have learned the Southern Drawl that slows you down even more).

Theres been experiments to show that high school students that use speed reading methods can double their reading speed. When these techniques are practiced on a regular basis, the results are even more impressive.

With the power of the brain and mind combined, you can stretch out and achieve far greater skills. In fact, the amount of words that can be read per minute has no bounds. It is only a persons inner voice that can limit us, stop us and confuse us while reading or studying.

These voices tend to Babble On while you are striving to perform tasks, such as reading. It is the same voice that can make you panic before an exam. It is only when you quiet this Babblers voice that you can truly transfer and speed read material at a phenomenal rate.

SPEED READING can assist you to overcome slow reading habits developed from your early education. You can then retrain yourself to read faster.

It is remarkable how your brain and mind have the ability to absorb thousands of bits of information in a small amount of time. You are like many people that read slowly on account of early education. You are slowed down when you are mouthing syllables and words. Even though you have developed these bad habits in early education, its great to know that from this moment on, you can retrain yourself to be a powerful SPEED READER and your potential is limitless.

One benefit of Speed Reading is that it can help you in reading and understanding written information much quicker. Speed Reading is useful in careers, especially where you are required to master large volumes of information quickly. Many people run into burn out from information overload. Speed Reading assists you to absorb and retain, for later recall, all the information that you read.

Bengals Make Short Work of Bears

By Ross Everett

Former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson got revenge on the team that let him go in the best possible way. Benson amassed 189 yards rushing and led his new team, the Cincinnati Bengals, to a 45-10 rout over the visiting Bears on Sunday. Carson Palmer threw for five touchdowns with no interceptions in the blowout victory. Cincinnati improved to 5-2 with the win while Chicago dropped to 3-3 on the NFL season.

The Bengals also made short work of the NFL pointspread, easily covering as +1' home underdogs. Cincinnati improved to 4-3 against the number while Chicago evened their ATS mark at 3-3. The 55 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 42'.

A smug Benson described his feelings after the win:

"Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day. Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff."

Despite the evidence to the contrary, Benson downplayed the motive of revenge:

"I continue to be as graceful as I can be. I'm not shoving anything in anybody's face. Like I say, it wasn't a revenge day for me. I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunities."

He said his biggest problem was trying to keep his emotions in check and play under control:

"There were a few times where I may have gotten a little too hyped up, a little too antsy. A couple of drives, I found myself having to calm myself down and gather my emotions to stay poised. Once I got past that, we were good to go. Keep it rolling."

Bengals' receiver Chad Ochocinco had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He shared his thoughts postgame:

"I don't understand why it went this way today and why it didn't go that way last week or the week before that. The offensive line played unbelievable. For Ced to run the way he did today and for us to be able to throw, we could have done what we wanted to do."

Chicago gave up more points than in any game all season, a fact that left defensive end Alex Brown looking for answers:

"That was pretty embarrassing. It's embarrassing to come out and play like that. I tip my hat to their whole team. Cedric ran the ball like crazy. They did whatever they wanted to do."

The Bengals will enjoy a bye week before hosting the Baltimore Ravens on November 8. They'll then play two games on the road at Pittsburgh and Oakland. Chicago will try to get back on track this Sunday as they host the Cleveland Browns. The Bears are -13' home favorites with the total set at 40. They'll host the Arizona Cardinals the following Sunday before heading west for a Thursday night game against the San Francisco 49ers on November 12.

Health and Happiness Through Chakra Balancing!

By Jonathan Benjem

In this technology obsessed society we live in, most people have simply forgotten about the existence and importance of a spiritual being inside their physical being.

Conversely, the Hindu idea of life has kept alive the practice of spiritual-healing despite the developments in science and technology.

Our body has seven primary Chakras and also many thousands of secondary ones. Chakra, is a Sanskrit word which means Wheel of Light, and these light wheels or Chakras, are in a stable state of rotation and vibration in a healthy body.

If the charkas become unbalanced, then this will result in an imbalance in the overall healthy performance of the body. As a result, Chakra Balancing is essential to a healthy body, mind, and soul.

Chakras are Entry Gates of the Aura and the points at which the body receives and absorbs life-force energy. Positioned along the central line of the body from the base of the spine to the top of the head the 7 main Chakras absorb and send out energies to and from the universe, nature, celestial bodies, and even from people.

What causes distortion in the Chakras?

When one or more of the Chakras is blocked and the energy does not flow harmoniously through them, the result will be an imbalance among the Chakras that is manifested in all areas of life.

There are many factors which can cause the distortion of the Chakras. This includes health issues, stress, inappropriate diet, exposure to poisons, lack of exercise, inability to express emotions, untrue beliefs, being unconnected from your higher power, childhood traumas, cultural conditioning, emotional problems etc.

The Importance of Chakra balancing in Health and Happiness

The normal harmonious functioning of Chakras is a utopian idea. So humans have always attempted to correct this distortion and strike a fine balance among these Chakras. The concept of self-healing is also based on Chakra balancing.

Chakras influence our body shape, glandular processes, chronic physical ailments, thoughts, and behavior. Chakra balancing ensures that these parameters all work towards the goal of a healthy body, mind, and soul.

The benefits of Chakra Balancing include:

* Overall happiness and inner peace

* Physical health and vitality

* Awareness and constant feel with ones body

* Sexually content life without getting influenced by lust

* Awareness of ones feelings at the ethereal level

* Superior capacity to attract and convey love in ones life

* Accelerated spiritual growth and development

* Religious healing with higher ways of realization, attentiveness, and acceptance

* A sympathetic and adoring heart

* Marvelous confidence levels, but short of being over-confident

* Approaching of the Self

Attaining chakra balancing

Chakra Balancing in ones body can be achieved by employing different techniques. Primarily, you can use one or more of the following techniques in order to harmonize the Chakra functioning in your body:

* Healing Therapies, such as Reiki

* Yoga (with breathing exercises) and/or Meditation sessions

* Physical exercise

* Color & Light Therapy

* Crystals and Gems

* Balancing by using Hands and Pendulums.

* Aromatherapy

* Touch Therapy

* Optimistic outlook

* Binaural Sound Frequencies

* Affirmations and Hypnosis sessions, etc.

The human body is a pool of energy, in which the exhausted energy is released and eliminated by the body organs, and replenished with new energy.

Chakra balancing makes sure that this energy is stored and used by the body optimally, and all essential organs and body cells get an equal share of this energy.

In this state of optimization, inner peace, happiness and health flow naturally. Chakra Balancing is nothing but bringing the Chakras back to their natural state of vibration & frequency.

By Lola L Godfrey

Most people seem to forget about how often they use their bed and because of this they don't spend much time considering their purchase when they come to buy a new one. Beds are used by all of us on a regular basis and we spend as much as a third of our lives in bed so it's important that we make good decisions when it comes to buying what we need for our comfort and support.

Beds are easy to find on the web but make sure that you're able to find a range of options to compare before you part with any cash. Remember that we spend about a third of our lives in bed so it needs to be a decision that you're happy with for a long, long time.

The Untold Power Of The Subconscious Mind

By Elliot Cox

Subconscious mind is an essential part of all of us. There are many who even blame their unscrupulous doings on their subconscious minds. However, there are only a few who truly understand the subconscious mind and its amazing powers and abilities. This amazingly potent instrument can become our biggest ally or the most dangerous adversary. Interestingly, your life and your circumstances are all governed by your subconscious mind. Many people still don't understand the true meaning of the subconscious mind and its significance in our lives.

Despite the best efforts of some professionals, we all acknowledge the subconscious mind. It is the mind within the mind. It is the control board that directs our actions and our thoughts. It is the voice in your head that you hear when you are faced with a difficult or challenging situation. The script that our subconscious speaks to us is as unique as each individual in the world. Your subconscious mind is not the same as mine. Even if we were raised in the same house, under the same circumstances with the same parents. Your inner voice is just that, it is yours.

You have heard your inner mind. When you were standing there getting ready to make a life altering decision and it talked you out of it. I would like to think that it talked you out of something that was harmful, often though that inner voice is telling a person that they can't do something. That they won't be able to accomplish what it is they want. They aren't good enough, pretty enough, thin enough. The subconscious is what you think of yourself deep, deep down inside.

The kind of life you are leading is a direct result of your subconscious feelings and attitude. This means that you can actually make your life beautiful by reprogramming your subconscious mind. When you reprogram your inner most feelings you actually start attracting the life you want. So the best part about this process is that the power to change your subconscious thoughts and attitude and eventually your life is completely in your hands.

You can change your deepest thoughts by affirmations. These are nothing but positive beliefs that are constantly repeated by you through out the day. These are better than the more expensive sublimal messaging scripts. All you need is to know is the thing you want to change about yourself, choose the appropriate affirmations and repeat them till they become a reality.

For example, you want to lose weight. Instead of thinking you are fat, repeat to yourself that you are your perfect weight. On a piece of paper you can write down the same phrase and carry it in your pocket, you can tap it to the mirror, make a ring tone out of it, and make it a screensaver at work. The point is to repeat the message enough that the subconscious mind picks up on the fact that this is what you think and what it needs to be thinking.

Soon this affirmation will become the reality of your life and you will be the slim person you want to be. As a matter of fact, this can work on anything from having more money to even having a great relationship. It may be possible that you still don't believe in this fact.

Here is an example of how your mind impacts your life, without you even realizing it on any given day. Let's say that you wake up late one day. You say or think, 'It's going to be one of those days.' You take a shower and find you are out of soap; you get dressed and spill coffee down your shirt on the way to the office. Again, you think 'Yep, it is definitely going to be one of those days.' You get to work and you are faced with one obstacle after another again, you are thinking that this is one of those days and you even go as far as to think that it can't get any worse and it does.

There are people who may laugh this off as a coincidence. However, coincidences are nothing but myths, there is a reason behind every happening in the universe. Your subconscious works to give you things that coincide with your deepest beliefs and thoughts.

In recent years films and books like 'The Secret' have explained this phenomenon in more scientific terms. This has become known as the 'Law of Attraction'. This says that our subconscious mind not only reacts with and responds to the reality we are experiencing it is actually creating it!

Science especially quantum physics has now provided a solid basis for this fact since through experiments and studies it's been proved that matter and the mind of the observer are linked with some intricate links. This is something the ancients religions have also been saying for thousands of years.

People who have tapped the power of the subconscious mind have also been able to change their reality according to their desires. For example people who wanted wealth have known that visualization and firm innermost beliefs can only make them achieve their dreams and as result have become some of the wealthiest people in the world due to their subconscious mind.

Motion Sensor Safety Measures

By Pierre Levingston

No matter where you live or your circumstances, a home security system is a great investment for any home. There are different products that are available to monitor your home. Motion detectors are a great resource security companies use to monitor the safety of your home and property.

Motion detectors, or sensors, work great with home security systems. They are good because they are non-invasive and are safe. They also work great on their own apart from the security system, especially for lighting purposes.

Motion sensors work by using an electronic chip that sends out infrared signals. The chips sends out a signal with its infrared light and monitors the temperature. If the temperature changes because something warm passes by it, the sensor gives off energy and the alarm or lighting turns on.

A motion sensor alarm will go off any time something moves in your home. Homeowners can control how the alarm works, which can help against false alarms. This is especially useful for homeowners that have family pets.

Motion sensors can be placed through out your home. They should be placed at all possible entrances of your home. Some great places to put them are bedroom windows, skylights, garage doors, and front and back doors.

Motion sensors can also be used to turn on light. A well lit yard will ward off potential burglars because they won't have the darkness to hide in. Motion sensor lights should be used to light up all dark places of your home or property, such as basements, porches, driveways and attics.

Motion sensors are a great investment, not only for home security but for money savings. They run on a time delay and don't waste unneeded electricity. You also don't have to worry about turning the light switches on or off yourself.

The best use for motion sensors is to use a combination of the two functions. Having a good light source to scare away intruders is good, and having a backup alarm in case they continue inside is even better. Both will help keep your home a safer place.

7 Strategies To Succeed With Online Education Degree

By Mary Jackson

Attaining an online education degree has opened opportunities for many students, especially those who find paying for traditional full-time courses outside their reach. But as much as acquiring an online education degree has many benefits over traditional learning, many factors play a role in order to make it successful for online students. Because of the differences in the way that online education is disseminated and acquired, some amendments in approaching this mode of learning need be put in place to make it a success.

1. Choosing the best education online institution - Make sure the institute for higher education chosen has adequate resources and accreditation recognized by the proper authorities. Unless authenticity can be verified, find another school. Sadly, unscrupulous degree mills offer degrees with short-term or no real education. Thus, the diplomas are bogus and absolutely worthless. Find a school that provides solid education, ample student support, and the facilities necessary to succeed in your distance learning.

2. Evaluate the cost and benefits - Generally, obtaining an online education is a costly venture. Most people do not realize the cost is often more than a traditional education. So, it is important to evaluate the desired online education degree, and determine whether the benefit of future income opportunities will offer the reward for gaining an online degree.

3. Provide degree verification to potential employers - Faced with the prevalence of bogus and worthless degrees, it is no wonder that prospective employers are a little wary to hire employees who have acquired a diploma through distance learning. Therefore, anticipate potential skepticism and bring along proof of accreditation from the college or university. By underscoring the recognition of the U.S. Department of Education and CHEA, it will immediately alleviate any degree misgivings.

4. Practice discipline, time management and be determined to succeed - During the course of learning, many students simply lack discipline and are unable to focus. This makes it difficult to keep up with their online lessons and coursework, it is thus crucial for students in pursuit of online education degree to have a great determination to succeed. It is very easy to lose focus and motivation when studying alone. Exercising good time management and keeping in constant touch with classmates would increase the morale to succeed.

5. Utilize all the facilities provided by your college - Many education degree online courses provide online lectures and email access to facilitate communication among students, lecturers and administration staff. It's important to take full advantage of these services as they keep you "connected" with your accredited online college. It helps further your motivation in your studies when you make use of these facilities to stay in touch.

6. Make use of credit transfers - Many online education degree colleges allow students to transfer their credits from courses they took in previous colleges, whether online or traditional. By doing this, it means students don't have to repeat courses they learnt before. For this to be effected, it's important for a student who intends to pursue an education online to make sure they get transcripts and results from their previous universities or colleges and make them available to their accredited online college so they can be passed as transfer credits.

7. Using Educational technology is essential - The only way to facilitate an excellent online education degree is to take full advantage of all the educational technology available. Virtual libraries generally have all the information necessary to complete research projects and other assignments. The online materials have been factored into the cost of the course. The convenience is another reason for using this benefit to the fullest.

Plan For Career Success In A Jobless Recovery

By John Smith

It is obvious that we are at the beginning of an economic recovery, with many positive signs from US companies and from abroad. While the recession may have ended officially this is likely to be a jobless recovery. In a jobless recovery profit always increases but companies are very much conservative and don't hire back jobs that were cut down during the recession. Technology has allowed also for fewer workers because productivity increased.

Almost all job categories have been hit in this recession and executives are no exception. If you are one of those manager or executive who has lost their job- or even if you are still hanging by your fingernails - there are some things worth considering as you conservative your next career move during a jobless recovery:

Stop being stubborn. You just start broadening your job search because you may not be able to get jobs in the company that meets your career goals. Looking into similar industries, different locations and even the idea of switching career is a good option.

On the other side target those companies which you like, and want to stay on their radar. Because things changes, jobs open- be in a better position to get the job. Relocation may have to be a better option. For last many years, job seekers have been lucky enough to find jobs in their own hometown, but this idea has to change. It is good if you look elsewhere for jobs that meet your skill set and career goals. At worst, you can come back home when the situation improves. At best, you may enjoy your new job enough to stay.

It is better if you want to start looking for jobs in healthcare, education, government and the environment. Because it is expected to see growth in these sectors in coming years due to a number of factors (i.e. healthcare reform, a push for new green jobs, turnover in government and the creation of new jobs in the industry, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that will pump money into education.)

Go back to school. This is not for everyone. Do not just decide that you want to be a lawyer and then go back to school to pursue this goal without doing the research, but if you ever want to change your career, or go to college or grad school, now may be the best time to do it.

It is good if you don't shy from any volunteer work, internships and part-time and temp work. Because these route will keep you busy during a recession, but it will also help job seekers that they can add skills to their resumes, make contacts in the industry, and offer opportunities for full time work should openings become possible.

We are experiencing a jobless recovery now, but it does not mean that there are no jobs out there. Taping into your network and making the effort to get on front of the right people. The right referral could lead to a job.

Ready For Online Distance Education? Read These 10 Rules First

By Mary Jackson

Accreditation - accreditation is very important because it ensures that an institution meets or exceeds an established set of educational standards. This means that courses from an accredited online distance education college are likely to be transferable to other accredited online or traditional colleges. Your current and prospective employers will look positively at degrees earned from an accredited institution making it easy to earn a promotion or get a new job.

Degree mills and fake colleges - today the internet is flooded with fraud and fake accrediting institutions that give "accreditation" to any willing organization at a fee. Be safe and stay on the look-out for such institutions when you're choosing your online distance education college. There are always "tell-tale" signs of institutions that are not legitimately accredited. If in doubt, check with the United Stated Department of Education or CHEA to find out if the college you are interested in is accredited.

Before you choose an online college, it's also important to think about what your long-terms plans and goals are as far as your education is concerned. Incase you intend to pursue further education, think about if you'll need to transfer credits from one college to another. With this knowledge you'll be able to choose a college that allows and accepts credit transfers.

Just like in a traditional classroom, class size is important. You want to be in a class where your voice can be heard. So check the class size of the college you're considering.

How about the qualification of the faculty in the program that you're interested in? What degrees do they hold? From which institutions? What experience do they have in the subject they teach? Do they have experience teaching online classes? Do your homework and get answers to avoid been taught by other students like yourself.

Find out if it easy to contact your instructor or administration should you have questions or need help. The level of support offered to students varies considerably from college to college. Choose one in line with your needs and expectations.

One of the great things about online distance education programs is that you can begin almost anytime. Thus you shouldn't let anyone rush you into starting your program until you feel ready to put the time and effort it will require for you to succeed.

Check out if your program will be offered entirely online or if it will require residency at some point in the course. Some online courses have site projects and require residency so let this not come as a surprise to you.

Check if the institution you're interested in offers any form of financial aid assistance. You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that financial aid, loans and the scholarships available to you. In addition, many colleges and universities offer tuition installment plans which help make college more affordable. Ask before you enroll whether such programs exist.

Your research for a good online college should not be a hurried task. Invest time in it and ask lots of questions. Quality education is crucial to your career advancement thus you should not get less than you deserve. New and traditional colleges are coming up with online programs every day. You have more choices than ever before to get your best education online.

How To Identify The Poison Ivy

By Olivia Gold

If you have come across the wound caused by the poison Ivy then you will realize that it is quite painful and you need to keep a distance from such plants. You might find the poison sumac in other parts of the world, but you will not find the poison Ivy anywhere else. It is found only in eastern and the mid western part of the America. This does not mean that you will find this plant in the crowded region. Actually this plant is found in the region where no body lives. Most of the people come in contact with it when they go out for camping or hiking. In this article you will get ideas that how you can you realize that you are actually seeing this plant.

One of the things which you need to keep in your mind in order to find the plant is by view the compound leaf containing the three leaflets. As far as these leaflets are concerned they are two to three inches long. They are tedious as well as of glossy green colors and the tips are quite pointed as well.

As far as the middle leaf is concerned it is the biggest out of the three leaflets. The changeable margins of the leaflet are quite toothed, lobbed and smooth as well. They are generally located alternative to the stem.

You must have heard about the Virginia creeper. As far as the Virginia creeper is concerned, sometimes we by mistake think that it is the poison ivy. But you are wrong. You need to understand that it is not the Ivy. You can make it sure by the fact that you will find the leaves in the bunch of three in case of the poison Ivy. But in case of the Virginia creeper you will find five leaves together. Thus now you will be able to understand that what is poison Ivy and what is Virginia creeper.

You can find the ivy in three figures. They are the erect woody shrubs as well as the trailing shrubs which run among the ground and woody vine. You will find the yellowish green flower that grows around the poison Ivy. The biggest thing is the urushiol. This is certainly the biggest threat to your skin. You should certainly not touch this plant because of this reason and you will be in trouble other wise.

Thus the above points will help you to find out that which plant is the poison Ivy. This will be a great help for you.

How Did Wedding Photography Begin?

By Justine Mitchell

Wedding days are known for being tiresome & nerve-wracking. They are quite tough for those who are planning the wedding, but the maximum stress is ever on the groom and the bride. For years, people have just ceded to the fact that weddings will ever be stressful and that they just have to deal with it to the best of their abilities

Such services can guarantee that you remain free of worries on this most momentous day of your life. Pre-wedding photography is one of these special services.

As per specialists, Singapore is the birthplace of pre-wedding photography, where it started about a decade back. However, other like types of photography have been in existence in some parts of the world even prior to that. The custom of getting the pictures of the couple taken before the wedding had been popular in a lot of parts of Europe and the US, but since pre-wedding photography has been established as a standardized service, it has started finding favour with lots of couples across the globe. Clear guidelines have been laid down in this new field, & today it is not tough at all for anyone to find a photographer specializing in pre-wedding photography.

The reasons behind the origin of pre-wedding photography are quite apparent. The need for a service, which reduces the stress on the couple on that big day, has always existed. The realization has dawned on the to-be-married couples that a wedding day is an occasion where they should also have lots of fun. On your wedding day, you should be relieved of all big commitments and responsibilities that use up your valuable time & prevent you from enjoying the occasion.

Moreover, by opting for pre-wedding photography, you also decrease the chances of things going wrong on the wedding day. The risk of rain or any other eventualities ruining all your wedding photos can not be ignored.

Tips On How To Choose The Right Bridal Dress For You

By Sammy Bell

Everyone's attention is on the bride in a marriage ceremony, hence the bride's appearance and her wedding gown have to be perfect for the event. There are some key factors that you need to consider if you want to choose that ideal bridal dress to draw compliments during the wedding and to cherish the pictures of the ceremony for the rest of your life.

The whole ceremony can be spoiled if the bridal wear is badly made or is delayed in arrival from the shop, so the right store has to be selected for ordering the dress. The location of the store is important too as you don't want to cover long distances for the numerous fitting sessions that a dress requires.

A striking colour must be selected for a wedding dress that will make you look even more attractive. The correct coloured dress must be chosen from an array of carefully picked samples. But you must keep in mind that a gown that is all style and looks without any comfort will make you feel uncomfortable and will spoil your mood. A cosy and attractive dress will ensure that you can have fun during the occasion while looking good at the same time.

You must always pick a dress that will make you more photogenic. In Singapore, there are several photographers who are easily accessible and can suggest you which colours and textures are best suited for photographs.

Almost all the major markets have good Singapore wedding photographers waiting to assist you in this regard. It must not be tough to search for them online either. Though most wedding photography Singapore companies have very good track records of performance, yet it is a wise decision to consult people who have made use of their services so that you proceed towards selecting the best guys for the task. How able and experienced the photographer is will greatly determine the end product that he will offer, so if there is any error on your part in choosing the company, you may have to suffer the consequences later on.

Students Taking Part Time Jobs

By Alex Wu

Taking part time jobs while studying at high school and college? Why not? That is a good idea to practice your soft skills and maybe academic knowledge as well. Now with the intense influence of Internet, students can find many part time jobs online. The chance is not limited to offline jobs anymore. You can find many new jobs on the web as many companies and Internet entrepreneurs also need part time employees to help with their business operational. Well, in fact part time employees also bring advantages for their businesses. They have wider selection of people to recruit, so that it is easier to get the best talents.

Also, they can find the most competitive rate in the market. Students just have good opportunity to do something they like and earn money. There are many part time jobs for students such as child care, house cleaning, tutor, personal assistant, administration work, web designer, public relation, programmer, tour guide, book keeper, writer, editors, photographers, store keeper, and else. You can basically do any job that is available in your community, job you like, or job that pays good enough. But students taking part time jobs also have more challenges than those who do not. It is not easy to keep the balance between work and study. However, the more you need money and realize the importance of finishing study on time, the better you should be able to manage your time. Two big tips for students who plan to do part time jobs: prepare yourself and avoid time conflict.

1. Prepare yourself from the beginning. Doing part time jobs is not an easy decision. Even though the job does not contract you and the pay is not that high, you can not treat it as you like. Responsible and reliability are the keys. Be ready for the time and opportunity cost you sacrifice for the chosen decision. Many people just want to take it on and off, find job when they need money and then go when they have got enough for the moment. What if you can do better than them?

Maintain good relationship with people and build network. Part time job should be treated as professional work. You never know what is waiting ahead. But by doing good since the beginning, you have better chance to get better job and higher pay. Yet you leave good impression for the employers. Be professional: finish the work on time, give notice period if you want to resign, be pro-active, be willing to learn new things, and have initiatives.

2. Avoid time conflict between your class, study, and work schedule. It is good to plan everything far ahead to make sure you manage them accordingly. Make priorities, but do not be afraid to tolerate what seems to be impossible. You will know from experience that you can do better than what you presume before if you are serious and motivated. Keep in mind that to whatever extent you need money, study is still the first to consider.

You need to finish the study on time to be able to do farther for yourself and your future. Time is everything, after all. Do not let the income from part time jobs drives you away from the first responsibility because it is just not worth it. Do part time jobs to your maximum capability, but do not push them.

21 Questions To Ask A Guy

By David Web

Questions are the most amazingly simple things that we can come up with when we want to learn about someone else.

Dale Carnegie in his timeless bestselling book, "How to win friends and influence people" talks about the amazing power of asking good questions to show that we are interested in someone else.

You've probably been to a party and you've been the one asking the questions and doing most of the listening? If you have you will probably attest that the other person thought that the conversation was quite interesting - funny that! You probably did less that 20% of the talking but you got 100% of the credit!

If you're a guy and ask some great questions, you will often find yourself leap-frogging to final base, thus saving yourself a lot of legwork trying to build rapport with her. Asking questions and listening is one of the most naturally flattering things you can do to anyone.

If you are a lady and want to stroke a guy's ego and make him feel good then ask lots of interesting questions and then listen to the answers. You will have the guy on a string from there on!

Despite the ego-stroking that can happen, if you ask and listen there is also a genuine side to the picture as well. Because people who're genuinely interested in someone else, are the people who are usually popular and well liked. Faking interest is the worst thing you can do. And at the end of the day, if you are not a natural listener then put yourself to the test and practice. You will start to learn SO much about so many things and you will discover parts of people that are just SO interesting to learn about.

Here's 21 questions to ask to get conversation jump-started. They have been written from a female perspective, just switch them around if you are a guy and want to use them. If nothing else it will get you thinking about your own questions - which are always better.

Here's 21 questions to ask a guy or a girl to get you started

1. If you're a waiter and a customer was super rude, would you spill food accidentally on them or think about doing this?

2. What is you all time favourite book and why?

3. If you could choose to have dinner with 5 people (real of fictional) who would you invite and why?

4. If in an instant you could become an invisible man, where would you go and what would you do?

5. If someone made a funny comedy movie about your life, which part of the story would be the funniest and why?

6. What was your fondest television character when you were a young child? What was it that you liked about them?

7. If there was something that you missed doing in this lifetime what was it?

8. What's the funniest experience in your whole entire life?

9. Have you ever gone on a date with someone who is so much taller or smaller than you, and if so how did you get on kissing?

10. How old were you when you had your first proper date and did you kiss them?

11. What's the most horrible lie you have ever told someone in your life? Where you caught out and who was it that you told it to?

12. If you instantly turned into a woman for a day, how would you spend that day?

13. If you do not like someone what do you normally do, show it or hide it and why?

14. What is more important to you in a woman - good looks or intelligence?

And now let's get a little more risqu! Obviously you would have had a few drinks before asking some of these questions!

15. Have you ever been caught with your pants down in a public place - if so what were you doing?

16. What's the difference between making love and having sex for you and which do you prefer?

17. If you could suddenly change the age you lost your virginity, would you?

18. What's your biggest sexual 'turn-ons' and 'turn-offs'?

19. Were you ever unfaithful with your partner? If so did they find out and if so what did they do?

20. Has anyone ever caught you playing with yourself? If they did what did you do?

21. Have you ever serial sex - with one person and then been with a different person somewhere else within the same day?

Clemson Upsets Miami In Overtime

By Ross Everett

The Clemson Tigers used a touchdown pass on their first possession of overtime to upset the Miami Hurricanes 40-37 on Saturday night to cap a back and forth game. Miami kicked a field goal on their first possession of overtime to take the lead, but Clemson responded with a seldom used play on third and 11 to get the victory as quarterback Kyle Parker completed a 27 yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Ford.

College football betting devotees who backed Clemson as +4 road underdogs eventually cashed their tickets, but they definitely earned their money in a game that saw twelve lead changes and two ties. Clemson improved to 5-2 against the spread with the cover, while Miami dropped to 4-3 against the money. The 77 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 43. It was only Miami's second OVER of the season against four UNDER verdicts while Clemson has gone OVER in three of their seven games.

After the game, Jacoby Ford explained the logic for his suggesting the surprise play in the huddle:

"We knew this game was going to come down to who made more plays. And we did."

Miami has a history of winning when their offense is clicking-this loss was only the second in 115 games when the Hurricanes score 37 or more points dating back to'85.

For his part, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is glad this one is over:

"I have a birthday next month and I think I'm going to turn 50 instead of 40. We had to put on Superman capes. We made plenty of mistakes that could have lost us the game, but they played with poise and confidence. We just kept battling."

CJ Spiller was also a big factor for the Tigers as he set a school record with 310 all purpose yards including a 90 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. He also added 81 yards rushing and 104 yards receiving with a 56 yard touchdown catch.

Clemson QB Parker suggested that last week's win over Wake Forrest was a turning point for his team:

"I think last week we realized that we could be really good and this week we acted on it. I thought we really got some explosive plays and we played well."

Miami's quarterback Jason Harris sounded a different tone in his postgame comments:

"This has to be my toughest loss here. We fought so hard throughout the game as a team and didn't come out with the victory. We let Clemson outwork us, we turned the ball over too much -- little things that made us get to this point."

Clemson will host FCS foe Coastal Carolina next Saturday before resuming ACC play the following week at home against Florida State. They'll travel to North Carolina State on November--. Miami plays two of their next three on the road, starting next weekend at Wake Forest. They'll face the University of Virginia at home the next week before traveling to Chapel Hill for a game against North Carolina on November--.

Discovering Properties For Sale

By Tom van Dyk

Real estate is often coined as a low risk investments that can often yield excellent returns. Many people think that real estate is easy. That you don't need to do anything. However, the real estate business often will need you to put in some effort as you would with any viable business venture. The most important thing is to be able to uncover the properties for sale that will yield the best profits. So how do you go looking for teh best properties that are for sale?

A lot of people begin looking for real estate through the internet. The internet is after all the hub of all information and contains massive amounts of data on real estate for sale. So, you could look for properties for sale using the search engines on the internet. You could also specify your requirements in on real estate sites to get very specific results on current properties. Most sites have images and video of some of the properties thus reducing the need for visits or viewings.

However, not everyone is tech-savvy and there are a lot of people who still take the approach of putting up an ad in the local newspapers. So look for real estate for sale in the local newspapers. In fact, there are some newspapers that are dedicated to just that i.e. real estate for sale. You could even go ahead and put up a 'wanted' ad in these newspapers. Sometimes, looking up for real estate for sale in old newspapers (like 1-2 months old) can help you get a good deal (in case the property owner has not been able to sale the property and has become a bit more 'motivated' to sell it).

MLS i.e. multiple listing service is often the best ways to look for real estate. These are published by the real estate boards. The key is to act fast. Open houses are another great option. You can get to see dozens of properties in a single day and you never know when you might come across a property that is real gold.

Investor clubs are yet another good way to find real estate information.

Of course, how can we forget the real estate brokers? Real estate brokers are one the most popular (and sometimes most effective) information resource for real estate for sale. Not only do they provide information about 'real estate for sale' but also assist in getting the deal finalized and closed. Besides that, you can also get very good deals through public auctions, bank foreclosures, FHA and VA foreclosures and distress sales.
