There are few things in life more wonderful than getting married. It just gives a good feeling to see two people in love starting out together, doesn’t it?

Buying gifts for the wedding or engagement party is almost as fun as buying gifts for yourself, but wedding gifts don’t have to break the bank. In fact, it’s usually cheaper to buy the couple a something for their new home rather than giving them cash. So, if you want some great gift ideas (because the thought of giving them a toaster just makes you cringe …), read on. We’ve got some great ones.

For a Creative Gift

Well, that high-priced photographer is going to produce mounds of photographs, all of which will need a home. A photo album or funky, artistic frame is always a good choice for a wedding gift.

Or, why not think about getting the happy couple something to do together in their leisure time? Perhaps a picnic basket and set of picnic supplies, a doublewide hammock, or an exquisite wine gift basket.

For a Healthy Gift

If the newly married couple is into healthy or organic living, why not put together a gardening kit for them? Find some organic vegetable or flower seeds, and collect all the tools they’ll need to garden together in the backyard.

You could also think about ordering them a gift basket full of organic foods. With all the stress of planning and pulling off a wedding, it might be nice to just relax one night and munch on some organic, tasty treats!

For Pure Decadence

Decadent gifts can be anything from the pure luxurious to the downright fun. With all the blenders and plates the couple is going to be getting, why not lighten things up and get them a basket full of games? Stock it up with things they can play together, everything from a deck of cards to Monopoly.

If you’re thinking luxurious, well the sky is only limited by your imagination! What about a digital photo frame? One of these will allow them to upload all their wedding pictures. The screen changes every few seconds, so they always get to look at a new picture.

For the Time Honored Gift

What about an expensive journal and pen to record their wedding experience in? It would definitely be an adventure to look back on 10 years from now and read about how Aunt Marge got drunk at the reception and lead the conga line for over an hour!

Or, what about some personalized stationary to write thank you notes on?

For a Technology Gift

If you’re thinking luxurious and techie, why not purchase a new home theater system? There’s almost nothing better than curling up to a good movie with theater surround-sound (although it might be hard to resist keeping this one for yourself …).

If that’s a little out of budget, what about nice photo printer to print all their wedding pictures out on? If you’re feeling a bit on the luxurious side, you can also stock them up on ink refills as well.

With a little advance planning and creativity, you can go above and beyond the toaster and blender clich? of wedding gifts. You’ll give a gift that’s unexpected, appreciated, and certainly memorable!

For the past few weeks, I’ve been astonished to find there’s been no front page news on the life and times of Hilton heiress, Paris. I mean, with America at war, the healthcare system in disarray, and a presidential election creeping up, what else could possibly be more worthy of breaking news than Paris’s recovery from her time in the slammer. We’re all praying for you dear Paris; get well soon.

I’m sure I’m not the only one surprised by this; half of America probably expects Paris to randomly appear on every news station, perhaps speaking at the next State of the Union Address, where - when asked about her feelings on Iraq - she replies, I’d love to go there; I’ve never been to Africa and then concludes her speech with her signature catch phrase, That’s hot. Her dad beams with pride, her mom applauds enthusiastically, her dog Tinkerbell piddles from excitement.

Right….and the world goes further to hell in a hand basket….a designer hand basket, mind you.

Sarcasm aside, I, like so many other people, simply don’t get why Paris Hilton is such a big deal. So, she’s a heiress to the Hilton hotel chain. So what? I’m set to inherit my dad’s one-man janitorial company and you don’t see me getting attention (and he has a really expensive mop, people!). So she’s blond, tall and thin. I can dye my hair, wear heels, and throw up after I eat. If that doesn’t get me Paris-like attention, I guess I could just stop wearing underwear. I will miss you fruit-of-the-loom.

Truth be told, the whole Paris fascination is a bit of an enigma: she’s not a big deal, she just makes herself one and that, in turn, makes everyone bite…even if they don’t like the taste. Look at this article, I’m doing it too.

The Guiness Book of World Records hit the nail on the head in their 2007 edition when Paris received the record for Most Overrated Person. Still, it’s attention, albeit negative attention, and that’s probably enough for Paris to deem it hot.

I guess the whole Paris thing just makes me mad. Here is a person who doesn’t need to worry about a job or paying rent or whether or not she can afford her healthcare premiums. She’s been born with a silver spoon in hand and yet can’t even seem to dish out anything good.

Is she helping make the world a better place? Does she take her elevated status in society and use it to help others by dedicating her life to a worthy cause? Other than the few license plates she may have pounded out in prison, has she really contributed anything tangible to society? Seems to me the only things she adds to our culture are scandals. I don’t know about you, but I’m just about all scandaled out. They’re so Amy Fisher.

So, dear Paris, here’s an idea…instead of parading around in shirts with that oh so clever (and grammatically incorrect) catch phrase of Thats Hot. Your Not, go give back to the world. In lieu of hopping from party to party (all while trying to avoid those pesky laws) go and do something that helps others. Take your money, take your fame, and take your undeserved power and volunteer at a Children’s Hospital, fight for animals, donate money to help the African AIDS crisis, head a fundraiser that helps cancer research. Don’t do this for five minutes once a month; include them in your life’s dedications.

When you start to do this, your biggest dream will come true: you’ll find that you really are a big deal after all.

A few people emailed me for advice on self-publishing and I decided to write a small guide. There is a huge hype now days with self-publishing and companies are making lots of money from thousands of people who want to see their books in print.

My experience with self-publishing has been an OK one. Would I advise one to self-publish? Sure, as long as your expectations are not too high. Keep in mind you will not make money out of it. It is better to see the world of POD (publish on demand) as a hobby, but nothing else. The royalties in self-publishing are so low that you actually have to sell thousands of books to make money.

I put a lot of effort into my self-published book, writing and promoting it. Writing is hard, but promoting your book is even harder. When you choose a self-publish company, make sure you read carefully what they offer you. The company I chose is iUniverse. What I like about iUniverse is that if you choose a package that includes the evaluation, they will tell you what is wrong with your book. You then get a chance to work harder on your book and re-submitted to them. If you have the budget, I will advise you to buy editing services, such as line editing. This is what I did to correct the grammar and spelling errors. Self-publishing is expensive and you will not make much money out of it. It is only a hobby.

Many self-publishing companies offer several services, depending on how much money you want to invest in your book. Keep in mind that you will not make much money out of self-publishing. If you are a very talented writer and you think you have an amazing book, I advice you to keep looking for a traditional publishing house to publish your book. I tried to publish my book with a traditional publishing house, but trust me it is really a ‘mission impossible.’

Other traps to look for in self-publishing: there really is no need to keep pouring money into your book. There are many companies out there who will do anything for your book for a large sum of money. IUniverse for example, offers expensive editing with the help of skilled people. After a few thousand dollars that you invested in your book, you can get the label ‘Editor’s choice’ and if you sell five hundred copies, you get a chance to see your book re-published by a traditional house. It sounds very promising, but trust me from my experience, to sell five hundred copies is a really hard thing to do. Many people are still very skeptical buying a self-published book.

I worked very hard at promoting my book. Here are some ways to do it: send it to reviewers, distribute printed postcards with the information on your book, tell all your friends about it and advertise it as much as you can on the internet or anywhere else you can.

I put together a list of self-publishing houses that you should look at: iUniverse, AuthorHouse, Infinity Publishing, Llumina Press, Aventine Press, etc. Of course there are some other companies out there, some more expensive then others, but those are the ones I would recommend. I do not recommend the really cheap self-publishing companies, such as LULU, because they do not check the content of your book. They will print just about anything for money. If you think your book is fantastic and needs no additional work, then you can publish very inexpensively with them.

There are a bunch of places where you can send your book for review. BookConnector site has been a great help for me in finding internet sites that do book reviews. They have a huge list with places where to send your book for review. You should not pay for a book review! Book reviews should be free of cost. I had very positive experience with most of the review sites, except for one, from where I got a bad review. Try to read other reviews first from where you choose to send your book to, see if they give decent reviews. Some places might scrutinize your book too much and you really don’t want that for publicity. In the writing business, opinions can differ so much from one person to another, so you really need feedback from a lot of people before you decide if your book is good or not. If ten people gave you good reviews and one person gave you a bad review, you might tend to forget about the later one. Otherwise, I really had a good experience with reviews, so I definitely recommend you to send an email query first to ask for a review.

If you believe you have a fantastic book, you can also try to send it to local newspapers or radio stations for interviews. But really, try to query the place first to see if they want to accept your book.

Self-publishing is a great hobby and unless you have a passion to write and promote your own book, you will not be able to succeed much. A traditional way of publishing is definitely the key to success, but it really is almost impossible to get in.

Christmas is a worldwide phenomenon, and so is the holiday’s number one fan and symbol, Santa Claus. So it makes sense that because people all over the world celebrate Christmas differently, they also see Santa in different ways and have different traditions.

For instance, in France Christmas goes by the term Noel, and Santa goes by the name Pere Noel. Like the United States, the French who celebrate the holiday do so with a Christmas tree. Sometimes, the French decorate their trees in the traditional, which is with bright red ribbons and real candles, instead of the garland, electric lights, and fancy decorations used in the US. They also believe in decorating outside, especially the evergreen trees on their properties, which they cover with lights that they leave on all night long.

In Hungary, the Christmas tradition is a bit different than the French or American versions. In this Eastern European country, Santa Claus is called the “Winter Grandfather,” or Mikulas in their language. He comes not on Christmas Eve, but on December 6. It’s the job of children before this day to make sure that they are clean and that they have cleaned their rooms. For these good children, Winter Grandfather leaves candies and toys for them in freshly cleaned shoes or boots. For those children who don’t clean? They get a golden birch, which means they deserve a spanking! In Hungary it’s not Santa Claus (or Winter Grandfather), but Baby Jesus and the angels who brings presents and the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. To give him time to set them up, families usually go visit a relative’s house or go to the movies.

In Germany, the holidays are all about the decorations. They love putting electric candles in their lights, and covering their homes with all sorts of lights and colors. The German specialty decoration is the Adventskranz, which is actually a leaf wreath with four candles in it. And like many American homes, Germans like to decorate inside with a manger scene, the famous depiction of the stable, with Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, animals, and the Three Wise Men. Father Christmas brings children from Germany presents on Christmas Eve, while St. Nicholas brings small gifts on December 6.

Kids should consider moving to Latvia along the Baltic Sea for Christmas time. There, Father Christmas brings presents for all of the 12 days of Christmas, with the first day of gift giving coming on Christmas Eve. Latvia also claims to be the home of the first ever Christmas tree, documented in the year 1510. Then again, you might want to check the menu before visiting this country. The traditional meal on Christmas is brown peas with bacon sauce, sausage, cabbage, and small pies.

Here’s a meal that sounds delectable and Christmas will still be a blast-it’s in New Zealand. Since Christmas arrives in the middle of summer for New Zealand children, their Christmas dinners usually include foods on the BBQ, like ham, shrimp and fish. Many towns enjoy Christmas parades throughout the holiday season. Similar to children in America, families open Christmas presents from Santa Claus on Christmas Day. However, some people love Christmas so much, they also celebrate this Santa-driven holiday in the middle of July, when it is cold enough for a proper English Christmas dinner.

Wherever you are on the map, you can obviously enjoy Christmas in one way or another. And don’t worry. With his reindeer-powered sleigh, Santa will find you no matter where in the world you are living.

Lovemaking is one of the biggest joys in life. Yet many big beautiful women don’t enjoy this essential part of their relationships to its fullest. Many big beautiful women have major self-confidence issues when it comes to great lovemaking. Their negative body image puts up a big mental roadblock in their path to great sex.

Voluptuous women can enjoy making love to a man without the inhibitions forced on them through negative media and body image. Passionate lovemaking is not the sole province of the skinny.

Great sex is possible regardless of size if you know the lovemaking positions and techniques that will work best for you. Making love as a big beautiful woman isn’t rocket science; it just takes some practice and experimentation - both of which can be lots of fun!

At some time or other we’ve all seen products claiming to be some great sex secret, or heard of someone asserting that they know THE great sex tip. The fact is that having great sex isn’t a mystery. Self-confidence is sexy; and almost no man alive can resist a woman who is ready, willing, and able.

Most sexual relationships ebb and flow in intensity over time, but too often as other concerns intrude, couples find themselves in a sex-starved marriage. This can be the result of many factors, but often body images play a big part. The ideal female body image has changed over the centuries, proving one important fact. There is no one ideal body image. There is only what is popular at the moment.

Building self-esteem is a great cure for negative body image, buy how is that accomplished? First of all, remember that your partner is there with you. It’s a free country, so this must be where he wants to be! That gives you a huge advantage right away.

Now that you have your man at your side, how can you change the usual “sex after marriage” in to high-octane passionate lovemaking?

First of all, you must leave your negative baggage at the boudoir door - or put it out with the trash! Your man is there with you; take advantage of him - literally. What woman doesn’t enjoy being seduced? NONE! Guess what, men enjoy it too. Everyone wants to feel desirable, and that includes your man. Let him know how much you desire him by seducing him for a change. Get yourself and the boudoir ready for an evening of great lovemaking. Making love to a man can help you recognize your seductive powers, and it will make him feel great too. That’s really the greatest lovemaking tip ever!

Next, try out some great sex positions until you find your favorites. You could make a point of trying out one new position every week. Big women have a real advantage when it comes to making love - they’re built for comfort, not speed. And as we all know, speed isn’t the goal in great sex!

Big beautiful women are blessed with soft, cuddly curves. Use those curves when you’re making love. Build self esteem by learning to recognize how much your lover enjoys your curves.

Sex in marriage should be great sex. By paying some extra attention to your man, and making him feel good about himself, you’ll increase his attention toward you. The more great sex you have, the more great sex you’ll have.

The key to making good love is to keep your sense of humor and your sense of adventure. These are the best lovemaking tips and lovemaking techniques you can try.

Release your inner BBW sex goddess, and start enjoying some truly passionate lovemaking!

How are you doing on that Christmas list? No, not your personal wish list - your gift giving list. A little stumped on what gift to give the expecting mommy on your list?

Let’s start with what not to give her. Forget about giving her a bikini, high heels or gift certificate to the tanning booth. Giving clothing to a pregnant woman is just downright dangerous. If it’s too small, you’ll just remind her of how big she is. If it’s much too large, she’ll still cry because she thinks you think she’s as big as a house. To be safe, take a pass on clothing for her this year.

Also on the what not to give Christmas list for the expectant mom is anything to do with the baby. That’s what baby showers are for. It’s bad enough Mom has to go through her pregnancy with strangers touching her belly; it’s sometimes nice to forget she is pregnant and get her something that she, and she alone would like.

Expectant mothers don’t always feel so hot. Gifts geared toward pampering the mom are always a huge hit. Gift certificates for a manicure, pedicure, facial or massage are wonderful gifts. If you opt for the massage, just make sure the masseuse has a pregnancy table (imagine her trying to flip over on her belly on a standard massage table).

You can never go wrong with chocolate. That is, unless the expecting mommy has developed gestational diabetes, then it’s not such a good gift. If you know of any other favorite edible she likes, expecting mommies tend to get hungry often. How about a large jar of cashews? Yummy.

Any gift that is given with love will be appreciated; however if you want to give the expecting mommy a gift she’ll really like, get her something that will make her feel special!

When the wind is blowing up a dust storm and it never looks like a decent rain will ever come, I can’t help but wonder why I bought this hobby farm. The mood does quickly turn however- on waking to a nice clear day full of promise everything feels rosy once again.

Coming from the land always helps when deciding to buy a plot of land, but a love of nature is essential. Not having a good knowledge of farming means much more homework is needed, but these obstacles can be overcome. Having lots of friends and a practical nature will enable you to overcome the problems which seem to be an everyday aspect of running a hobby farm.

I bought my farm in order to enjoy my lifelong passion for growing plants-especially fruit and vegetables. There is also the health aspect resulting from lots of exercise and of course a chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. The seasons become clearer and the senses are certainly sharpened by the ever-changing colours, aromas and sounds.

Learning some of the fine details of plant propagation has always been a topic of interest. Some of the most interesting information has been obtained from older migrants who spent most of their lives on vineyards and orchards. Meeting and conversing with other gardeners and like minded people about their successes and failures also helps to get things into perspective.

In case you may be thinking there is money to be made from a hobby farm, think again. Most hobby farms being relatively small are inefficient and will cost much more to maintain than any likely earnings. Profits can me made with lots of dedication and a hard nosed approach towards a business, but much care and research will be needed in order to achieve this aim.

If you have decided to buy your own piece of paradise, I believe you can expect a journey with many ups and downs and lots of unexpected turns.

Wishing you all the best in your venture.

BusinessWeek Online - In Charlotte, N.C., gasoline at nearly $4 a gallon is cracking “the survivors,” as credit counselor Bruce G. Hamlett calls them. They’re the people who played by the rules and kept up their mortgage and utility payments even as neighbors gave up and moved away, leaving empty homes. Now, crazy prices at the pump are pushing even these survivors over the edge. “They’re asking, ‘Do I put gas in my car or do I pay this utility bill or do I pay the mortgage?’” says Hamlett, director of economic independence for Charlotte’s United Family Services. …

I met Jessica, a 24 year old law student who modeled lingerie to help defray the costs of her education, a few months ago in a nice lounge. I was there with

a couple friends of mine, enjoying a nice bottle of Pinot Noir wine. One of the things that a Date Pro has is the ability to be aware of his environment,

even if part of his focus is somewhere else. In this case I was focused on conversation with my friends. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a man walk

up to a very attractive young lady at the bar, offering to buy her a drink. She wasn’t interested so she thanked him for the offer and continued munching on

what appeared to be an appetizer.

This man wouldn’t take no for an answer and started giving her a hard time. I could tell from her body language that she was ready to do something drastic

such as ask for security or start yelling at him. Here’s a pointer for you: one of the best ways to meet a woman is to rescue her from a man or group of

men that she has zero interest in. After some practice in reading bodylanguage, you’ll pick up on this. It was my cue to leave my friends for a moment and

see if I could do my good deed for the evening. So I walked toward her and the man that would not leave her alone.

Excuse me honey, I said innocently, but deeply, firmly, and quite loud, making sure that I made eye contact with her so she knew exactly what I was trying

to do. I’m so sorry I didn’t see you when I walked in here, I ran into Ken and Ronald and ended up chatting with them. When they saw me they were like

‘Hey Rod! Over here!’ Since I didn’t see you I hung out with them for a while. I think I need to be flogged, though I think I prefer a spanking (smirk or

eye wink).

You’ll notice that I found a way to include my name in my initial approach so she would know my name. A couple of seconds passed and those two seconds felt

like an hour as I wasn’t sure if she would play along, not that it really mattered. Most women usually do because they pick up on subtle clues, cues, and

hints far better than men do. This was one of those times. I was wondering where you were honey, she said, trying her hardest not to laugh.

Oh, started the man who was bothering her, If you were expecting someone why didn’t you say anything?

I didn’t want his badgering to continue so I simply looked at him, then looked at her, then looked at him and said, Hey buddy, if you don’t mind, I’d like

to spend a moment alone with my fianc?e.

He knew that he had lost. Oh man, sorry. Later. And off he went.

As he was making his way out of our little circle, I leaned in and whispered in her ear, Ok, once he’s out of sight, I’m going back to my friends. By the

way, my name really IS Rod. Then I grabbed a stool, gave her a wink, and she leaned into my direction and whispered, Thank you. Sometimes the damsel in

distress that you saved appreciates what you did and prefers that you be on your way, but sometimes they don’t want you to leave. My name is Jessica, she

continued, Do you really have to leave? Why don’t you hang out for a bit? Aha!

So Rod, what is it that you do? , Jessica asked with a sincerity not usually found in these kind of places. Normally I don’t like telling women what I do

for a living until after a few dates, but it’s only a guideline, not some rule written in stone. I like to go with my gut most of the time, since that is a

sign that a person’s game has evolved. Jessica was beautiful and she had this very innocent, cute face that made me want to protect her, this was

evolutionary psychology and biology at work, not my inner wussbag coming out. One has to keep that under control at all times during an initial meeting with

a stranger.

Let’s just say that I help men figure out what they really want out of life, I said with a grin on my face. She accepted that for the time being and we

began talking about that. Eventually I asked her what she thought a healthy, attractive, mature woman wants in a man. Leave out the stuff about ‘I like to

laugh’ or a ‘man who knows how to treat a lady’ type stuff. I’m looking for specifics.

Well, Jessica started, You observed one thing we don’t like and that is to keep trying to pick up on us after we’ve made it clear we’re not interested.

Sometimes I want to go out and not want to meet new people. Sometimes I just want a drink or dance or just hang out. I hate it when a man is too pushy.

Please continue, this is fascinating, I remarked.

I have a part-time job that pays really well, so I don’t need a man to help me out financially in any way, Jessica continued on with a look of serious

passion in her face. You know what I think most ‘healthy’ women want? They want a man who can take care of himself. He might even be broke today but if

he has a career or is in school or started a new business, a woman can see that he has ambition and potential. I think a lot of women look more into the

future than men do. A man should be financially stable. That doesn’t mean he has to be rich, he should be good with his money and not spend it on frivolous

things.

You mean like a Coach hand bag, Mac make up, or Jimmy Choo shoes right? I interjected with a teasing tone to my voice. Jessica giggled.

Something like that, silly, I could tell Jessica was a fun gal. I know one thing I like is when my man plans out a whole evening for both us. I like it

when he plans ahead. I have a friend named Monica who was dating this really unattractive man, but she didn’t care. If you can make her laugh she is all

yours. Tell your clients that if a woman is laughing at his jokes then she likes him.

So, I chimed in, What you’re really looking for is a confident man who has a plan for his life, has potential, a sense of humor, financially stable, and

knows how to make a woman feel sexy and good, right?

Absolutely! Jessica exclaimed.
