Dating Mistakes and Avoiding Them

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

By Marie Clare Are you dating or in a serious relationship? Did you realize that very often we make the same dating mistakes over and over again? As outlined in my book “the Ultimate Online Dating Handbook” sometimes these mistakes can lead to losing the date of our dreams, or possibly being in a bad relationship. I’ve compiled a list of dating No-nos which will help you identify a possible problem that you can work on to improve your dating experience. Playing Games: When it comes to dating we all have a fear of rejection. This is human nature. So playing it cool and not getting too involved with others makes us feel safe. Only problem with this is you may come off as being cold and aloof. For many people this is a real turn-off. And you may find the date of your dreams slipping away. The best way to find a loving relationship is to be real. People will be far more receptive to you if they believe you are genuine. An other game people play is the “manipulation” game. Doing thingslike telling someone you “love them” or you’ll “call them” just to have them sleep with you. Then once the deed is done they never hear from you again. This is one of the most cruel forms of manipulation and it must be considered unacceptable in the dating world. Understand that it is O.K. to be a bit cautious. But you still must be brave and show the real you. Only then will you be able to have a trusting, loving relationship with the date of your dreams. Moving to Fast: Ladies this one is for you. We all fantasize about our future and the man of our dreams. Again, this is only human. But, do you find yourself testing out his last name with yours and you haven’t even gone out on a third date yet? Well, if you do it’s time to remind yourself to Slow Down. Here’s why. Normally for the first 3-8 months of a relationship we are running on euphoria. You know that “head over heels” or that “swept off your feet” kind of feeling that comes with falling in love? Well, there’s an actual reason why this occurres. It’s from a chemical in our body called oxytocin. Basically, this chemical takes over our brain and it interferes with our ability to think clearly. So, until you’ve had time to get to know a person, and spend time with him to see what he is really like, it’s best not to get to far ahead of yourself. If your expectations become to high you may find yourself heading down the path of heartache, and losing the date of your dreams. Slow Down! Are you always talking about your ex? Carrying old baggage into a new relationship can be disastrous. Sure we’ve all had previous relationships, and yes your new love will find out about them. But, if you are constantly complaining about your ex, or always comparing your current love to your ex, it will get real old, real fast. Instead, take some time to get to know this person. Give yourself the opportunity for a new start. Try to work out any old problems before you start up a new relationship. This way you won’t allow the old baggage to cloud your judgment and affect your actions with your new love. Always talking about your ex may have you losing the date of your dreams. Red Flags: What are Red Flags? Well, here are some, but there are plenty more. Someone you were scheduled to meet doesn’t show up and has no reasonable explanation as to why. - Someone your involved with will not give you their home phone number. - He/she will not introduce you to family or friends. - He/she won’t go out in public with you.- Being cruel to a pet. - Being disrespectful to a parent. Yes, all of these are Red Flags. And, Red Flags should not be ignored. While you should not jump to conclusions about anyone unless you have sufficient evidence that something maybe wrong. If you do feel there is a problem you will need to confront this person and ask for an explanation. If you do not get an acceptable explanation and the situation continues to occur then you need to move on. You do not want to waste your valuable time on a relationship that is doomed to fail. Thinking Obsessively: Are you a worrier? If so, don’t let it ruin your relationship with the date of your dreams. Many people will worry over a relationship, even before it has a chance to really get going. You’ll worry over what he/she said, or what your response was to something said. You’ll worry over whether the relationship is moving to fast or to slow. Or whether the relationship is working at all. And, what will your friends think, your family think and so on. You need to understand that this sort of obsessive behavior is a real relationship killer. Try to build some self-confidence and trust that the relationship will work. And at a pace which is perfect for the both of you. The Interrogation: Do you want to know every detail of someone’s life, and try to get it out of him/her on the first date? Well, you can’t, not on the first or even the second date. If you come off as “The Interrogator” your new dream date will soon become tired of answering all your questions and move on to someone else. How many kids do you want to have? is not a good opening line on a first date. Just relax, let things happen naturally through simple conversation. Soon you’ll know all there is to know about you new friend. So relax and just have some fun with you new date. What about your needs? Do you want kids, but, he/she does not? Did you tell him/her you want kids or are you just going along with his/her idea of life? You must be able to directly communicate your needs. If you don’t you will spend your time in a relationship without having your needs met. You need to know what your own needs are and what his/her needs are before starting a serious relationship. When talking about your needs be assertive. Not bossy, naggy or demanding. But, tactful and direct. And, if the two of you can not agree on meeting each other’s needs, (what ever they maybe) then it is time to re-evaluate the relationship. In any relationship whether it be personal or business the needs of all parties involved must be met. Sacrificing too much: Do you find yourself doing things to show someone you care that you would never do other wise? Are you letting yourself be used as a “doormat”? Usually this sort of behavior is associated with low self-esteem. Please realize that in any healthy relationship both parties must be treated as equals. And both parties must have their needs met. If this sounds like you re-evaluate your relationship, and if your are not happy get out. There is someone out there who will love you for who you are, without you having to jump through hoops to prove it.

Hot Sauce History 101

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Eric Vinje Things may be heating up for hot sauces, but they’ve been around since humans first realized they could eat chile peppers. Bottles containing hot sauce have been recovered from archaeological digs as well as shipwrecks, according to “The Hot Sauce Bible,” The Crossing Press, 1996. We have had a long love affair with hot sauces in the United States. Advertisements for cayenne sauces appeared in Massachusetts newspapers as early as 1807, according to some reports. In 1849, England’s Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce was first imported into the United States from Great Britain. Many of the first homegrown hot sauces in the United States came from the South. Cajun cuisine and other fiery ethnic foods fueled the drive to make hot sauces. One of the first mass manufactured domestic hot sauces was Edmund McIlhenny’s Tabasco Brand Pepper Sauce, which came on the market in 1868 and is still made today. According to McIlhenny “family lore,” Edmund first bottled his Tabasco sauce in recycled cologne bottles. The McIlhenny Company has trademarked “Tabasco,” which is why it’s the only Tabasco sauce on the market today. (Although it is trademarked by McIlhenny, Tabasco actual refers to a geographic and political region in Mexico - where the Tabasco pepper was said to originate.) Similar sauces can note they are made with Tabasco peppers, but can only be known as “hot sauce.” In addition, the McIlhenny Company is so proud of its heritage that it is opening a museum in 2006 in New Orleans. McIlhenny’s initial success also spawned a raft of imitators particularly in the roaring 1920s including Trappey’s Hot Sauce (made by B.F. Trappey, an ex-McIlhenny employee) as well as Crystal Hot Sauce, according to Linda Stradley’s Whatscookingamerica.com web site. Jacob Frank started selling Frank’s Redhot Cayenne Pepper Sauce in 1920 and it was this hot sauce that French’s, the current owner of Frank’s Redhot Cayenne Pepper Sauce, proclaims as the “secret ingredient” in the original Wing Sauce concocted in 1964 by Teresa Bellissimo at the Anchor Bar and Grill in Buffalo, NY. All three of these sauces are continued to be made and sold today. Some hot sauces didn’t tickle the palate of consumers. Heinz, the condiment company based in Pittsburgh, produced a Tabasco Pepper sauce, but it failed to compete with McIlhenny’s original and was eventually taken out of production. Other early America hot sauces included a “Chilli Sauce” from E.R. Durkee & Company, which continues today as a spice and condiment company. This article was written by Eric Vinje of Cosmic Chile.

Ten Things To Do When You Really, Really Hate Your Job

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

By Cathy Goodwin 1. Begin focusing on what you want instead of how much you want to escape. When you find yourself sharing the latest horror story, stop in mid-sentence and say, “What I want to have is…” 2. Create an image that describes you in your job. Are you on a riverbank with no way to get to the other side? Lost in a jungle? Poking through a thorny hedge? When you get comfortable with the image, begin visualizing a change in the obstacle. Imagine building a bridge across the river or finding a path in the forest. Don’t force the image or the change. When you’re ready it will come. 3. Think of developing skills, not serving time.Take every course that’s offered and focus on skills that can lay a foundation for your own business or next job. Can you learn HTML or PowerPoint? Can you use some evenings, weekends and lunch hours to solicit some free lance gigs? 4. Focus on satisfactory, not superior performance. Use the time difference to build your new life. People often say, “I can’t do anything — I work ten hours a day!” If you are firing yourself or expecting to be fired, your job is finding a new job. Be ethical: you owe your company the minimum you need to earn your salary.” But don’t be surprised if you start to accomplish more than ever and find yourself getting promoted. 5. What conflict are you escaping? Dishonesty? Corporate greed? Hypocrisy? Allow yourself to wonder if these qualities are mirrored in your own life — or even in your mind. If everyone around you seems dishonest, are you being dishonest with yourself? With others? After you resolve your own conflict, you may find the workplace has changed or you have been catapulted into a new, more satisfying life. 6. Put on your shield and armor when you enter your workplace. Everyone should learn how to create a psychic shield. Imagine that you are surrounded by an outer shell that is made of a solid material — so strong that nothing can get through to hurt you. Some people prefer to imagine a protective golden light, but I think the solid shield is stronger. Take two or three minutes to put on your shield, every day, before you enter the workplace. 7. Give yourself a gift every day — a splurge of time or sensual taste buds. Read a book, talk to a friend, eat your favorite food. Don’t deaden your senses with alcohol (although if you’re a wine connoisseur, your special wine can be a gift) or spend big bucks at the mall. Think simple. 8. Find at least one thing in your life to appreciate: the softness of your cat’s fur, the winter sky, the spontaneous hug from a friend. Appreciate as much as possible about your job: the money, the view from the window, the new computer, friendly conversations with the guy down the hall. Savor the experience. Appreciation is the engine that attracts good things into your life. 9. Tune in to your intuition before deciding what to do next. Meditate and listen to the world around you. The saying “frying pan into the fire” is real. If your goals and desires do not come from a secure place within yourself, you will find yourself paying undue attention to wet blankets (”If you quit you’ll never get another job”) and false friends (”Just quit! Move to Tahiti! You won’t starve!”). Sometimes the same “advisor” proposes both ideas in the same week. A good coach or counselor will give you confidence in your own intuition, not impose their views of what you should do now. 10. Write this down somewhere: After you’ve left — and you will — all that time will seem to have gone in the blink of an eye. You will have trouble remembering what bothered you so much. The rest of your life will still be ahead of you. I offer one-to-one consultations on career strategy.

Roping In Loyal Customers While Making An Extra Profit!

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

By Shawn Casey You’ve probably bought a book or two at one of the major chain bookstores. When you’re checking out, you get asked if you have the “discount card.” The card is not free. It usually cost 10 bucks or so. But you get a 10% discount on most of your future purchases so it always seem like a good deal to me. If I buy at least a hundred dollars worth of stuff in the next 12 months, I’m at breakeven. If I spend 200, I’ve saved an extra $10. Unfortunately, I have no idea how the exact numbers work out for the stores, but I absolutely love this concept. Here’s why: First, most people are buying less than one hundred dollars during their first purchase. Obviously, you get a discount on that purchase if you buy the discount card at the same time. Let’s say you’re spending 20 dollars so you save 2 of those. Your net cost is 8 dollars. And the store has an immediate profit of 8 bucks! If you never ever show up in that store again, they’ve made a huge profit. Second reason: Presumably…whenever you think about going to buy books in the future, you’re going to think that it’s pretty stupid if you buy books at any other bookstore. That means you return to the store to spend more money. The bookstore wins again because (a) you came back and (b) you’re spending still more money! Of course, the bookstore is not doing anything wrong and this can be a real benefit to a frequent shopper. My point in this message is that you should think about some way that your business can use this idea. How can you get people to join your club for a fee and then get valuable discounts whenever they come back and shop with you. As marketers, we need to constantly be thinking about how we can copy the strategies that we see working in other businesses and apply them to our businesses. A mistake that many people make is thinking that their business is different so the marketing rules change. Not so! The principles of marketing are universal and apply to all types of business in all countries. The savvy businessperson continues to study and apply these principles to constantly increase their profits! I expect to see you in Atlanta in October. You’d be crazy to miss my free conference!

To Attract Women Invite Her Into Your Life Instead Of On A Date

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

By Teddy Shabba Most guys go on dates because it is the standard thing to do in our society. Most women go on dates because they either like you or the stuff that they generally get on dates. As a man you probably already realize that when you take a woman on a date there is no guarantee that you will get anything more than a thank you at the end of the date. In fact if you are like most guys, more times you will find yourself not getting anything close to what you wanted to have happen from the date than you will find yourself getting what you wanted from her. Yet, what if there was a way that you could go out with women who are really into you and more willing to give you exactly what you wanted. Does that sound like something that you would be interested in? That’s good; because the solution is a rather simple one instead of going on dates simply invite women into your life. Instead of taking her to the baseball game invite her to your next softball game. Challenge her to a game of dominoes, cards, or anything else that you enjoy doing. If you enjoy working out invite her to be your training partner for a day. Even if the only thing you do when you have free time is watch TV invite her to watch one of your favorite shows together, and you might also want to consider getting some more hobbies. When you invite a woman into your life instead of on a date it puts you in complete control. A woman can not help but think that a man who simply invites her into his life instead of on a date is confident and in control of his life. Her attraction for you will only go up when you invite a woman into your life instead of on a date. In fact the further you move from things that could be considered a date and closer to things that you do in your life the stronger the attraction is that you will create.

What You Should Know About Child Custody Laws

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

By Gabriel J. Adams Child custody laws vary from state to state. However, when looking into child custody laws, there are some general laws that apply. It is important that when dealing with a custody case, you have a full understanding of how the different laws will affect your individual case. Most often, the court that has jurisdiction over the divorce proceedings, also has say so in the custody of the children. Whenever a child is born to parents who are married, they both have equal legal rights to the custody of the child should they separate. The most important consideration in a child custody case is what is in the best interest of the child. The child’s well being takes precedence over the parents wants and desires. Some states believe it is in the best interest of the child to maintain frequent contact with both Mom and Dad. Often times, the parent who is able to be the most supportive of this notion is appointed as the custodial parent. The custodial parent is the term used for the parent who spends the majority of time with the child. Therefore, a non-custodial parent is the term used for the parent who spends less time with the child. Most states have an arrangement is place, should both parents disagree on custody of the child. Often times, the parents are required to attend mediation in order to work out a visitation plan that both Mom and Dad can agree upon. With mediation, the parents meet with a neutral third party, who then helps the parents to try and resolve their differences, as they relate to custody. However, if mediation fails, the parents can then take matters into court. They can present both sides of their cases to the judge and let him or her make the final decision as to the custody of the child. Child custody cases can be extremely difficult and expensive. A mutual agreement is preferred, since joint custody is more likely to be utilized, than if a judge were to make the decision for the parents. There are many factors that come into play in the case of child custody. Since the laws vary from state to state, it is important that a local lawyer be consulted. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the laws of your state, before going forward with a child custody case.
