It is said that prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. To prostitute means to give someone the right to use the body for a sum. Do all the prostitutes sell their bodies for money only? Some might be selling their body for food, or a gift or something else. So, we can say that prostitution means selling the right to use the body for something in exchange.

I want to talk about a marriage where a woman sold her body for money and also few other things. She is the heroine of this story and lives in a conservative society, where pretenses are at times more important than truth. Our heroine was in deep love with a married man but had no guts to say so. Therefore she agreed to marry the villain of this story, a man who proposed marriage in front of her father. While getting married to this person, she cheated him. She lied to him by hiding her real love. But that is not the point of my story. Let me come to the basics.

Our heroine was married to the man/villain in full public view, so she had no reason to deny that marriage unless she divorced him. She never loved him, but carried on with this man and let him brutalize her in all the ways possible. At times, he raped her seven to eight times a night. Was this a marriage or did she sell herself like a prostitute for something?

Ancient Rome

Drawing steps ...



Rome has so much to offer to the world, not only by the various pieces of art and its massive and intricate architecture. Its history also speaks a lot of how great Rome is even before.

Roman Art

The arts of ancient Rome can be compared to those of the Greek’s. They do have their similarities. This can be attributed to the fact that when the Romans decided to conquer the Greeks, the former noticed how art was infused into the lifestyle of the latter. Out of curiosity and love for Greek art, Roman soldiers decided to bring such culture right at their own land. They also brought artists-slaves with them. Thus, if you will take a good look Ara Pacis, you will notice the fancy swirls, which are so Greek. Romans are also fond of creating portraitures and busts of famous persons. However, unlike the Greeks who love to dwell on the ideals of their artwork, the Romans were more focused on their design and technical aspects.

Roman Religion

Ancient Rome also shares almost the same beliefs and rituals practiced by the Greeks. For one, they both believed in too many gods, who had dominance over different portions of their lives, including marriage, occupation, and nature. Moreover, in Ancient Rome, their gods have their own Greek equivalent. A good example is the Zeus of Greece and Jupiter of Rome. Emperors too were being regarded as gods, especially by those who were living in eastern side of the Roman Empire. Though paganism could be the first religion of Romans, let’s not forget that Roman Catholicism also found its birth in the Eternal City.

Roman Clothing

It could have just been one wool piece they used to wrap around themselves. However, when Ancient Rome saw the more advanced dressing habit of Greece, they opted to adopt linen tunics, and they became even more comfortable. Footwear of both men and women were made of leather. On special occasions, Roman men were required to wear togas; however, they have to take note of the different ways to wear them, depending on their stature. Women, on the other hand, have to wear not jut one tunic, in addition to the veil or wool scarf they have to wrap around their tunics. This gave them warmth whenever the weather gets cold or it’s raining.

Roman People

People in ancient Rome enjoyed more freedom and equality than other countries and empires at that time. Even women were protected by their laws, though people who are located at the west side of the empire became more liberal than those who lived in the east. The Roman Empire was also open even to travelers; thus, there was so much interaction and increase of knowledge in ancient Rome. Nevertheless, the rise of minority groups in the empire also paved the way for cultural wars and tensions.

The disparity of men and women can be felt when it comes to education
. Girls were left at home, while boys were sent to school. Those who are living in the villages, meanwhile, were illiterate, simply because they couldn’t afford to get an education. The privileged ones, children who grew up in well-off families, had the opportunity to study in other cities, such as in Athens and Alexandria.

Walking around Rome is more than being inspired by its culture and history. It means reliving it, even if it’s going to be just for a day.

Farmer's Lung Disease - Is Total Recovery Possible?

By: Patti Olson

According to all the medical information about Farmer's Lung out there, the answer is no. Medical treatments DO NOT "cure" Farmer's Lung disease. Medical treatments at best manage the severity of the symptoms but offer no hope of reversing the effects of mold on the lungs and body. BUT, the medical community is only looking at treating the symptoms and not the cause!

I am going to back up a bit here and explain what Farmer's Lung Disease is and how it's acquired. Then I'll explain how it is possible for the body to heal itself.

According to the medical dictionary on MedicineNet.com, Farmer's Lung or Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an inflammation of the lung (usually of the very small airways) caused by the body's immune reaction to small air-borne particles. These particles can be bacteria, mold, fungi, or even inorganic matter. So, Farmer's Lung is described as an allergic disease usually caused by breathing in the dust from moldy hay or dust from any moldy crop--straw, corn, silage, grain, or even tobacco.

Symptoms of acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis include:

* coughing,

* fever,

* chills,

* shortness of breath,

* body aches, etc.

Farmer's Lung or Hypersensitivity pneumonitis causes shortness of breath and a feeling of general illness. It can be from a sudden attack or as a slow progressive illness. Usually people with Farmer's Lung or Hypersensitivity pneumonitis don't associate their health issues with the moldy particles they are exposed to. They go to their doctor complaining of breathing problems that are very similar to bronchitis or pneumonia.

The physician usually treats the symptoms with antibiotics. Antibiotics are for bacterial infections and MAY relieve symptoms temporarily, but it will not last. In fact it may make things worse. Since the symptoms are initiated by the mold exposure and most antibiotics are made with mycotoxins (chemicals that molds produce) antibiotics tend to exacerbate the body's reaction.

Once diagnosed with Farmer's Lung or Hypersensitivity pneumonitis the first step in treatment is to avoid further contact with moldy dust. Bed rest is recommended and oxygen therapy may be needed to relieve shortness of breath for serious cases. Treatments may include cromolyn sodium and a corticosteroid to lessen the symptoms of hypersensitivity. The long-term use of these drugs is not advisable since they can hide the symptoms of Farmer's Lung without preventing lung damage from re-exposure to moldy dust.

According to medical information, once people become hypersensitive, they remain hypersensitive for years, perhaps for life.

BUT, is the medical community overlooking one major factor? - That the cause (mold) is still in the body!   Most doctors seem to think that the symptoms are only a reaction to mold as an allergen. They don't or won't recognize that mold or mycotoxins may still be in the patient's system and THAT'S what is causing the body's immune reaction to be hypersensitive.

Yes, in fact if you never get rid of the mold in your system you will remain hypersensitive for years or a lifetime. That part is correct. Treatments, then, need to address the cause, not hide the symptoms. So how do you get rid of fungus/mold in your body? By eliminating what it eats. Sugar.

When making bread, you give the fungus/yeast sugar. The active yeast feeds on the sugar and causes the bread to rise. Did you find that after your exposure to the moldy crop that you've experienced swollen joints? excess mucus? inflammation? That isn't just an allergic reaction. It may very well be that the cause is still in your body raising havoc.

Starting with a two week program that cuts out all sugars, you can detox and eradicate the mold from your system. When doing this you need to be aware of something called a healing crisis or Herxheimer's reaction. A healing crisis happens because when you starve the fungus/mold it causes a die off. This die off releases toxins into your blood stream and may cause flu-like symptoms. You actually start to feel worse initially. Once the mold is fully eliminated, the body can begin it's healing process and once again find balance.

Finding this information has been, excuse the pun, a breathe of fresh air, as it has saved the life of my ex-dairy farmer husband. David no longer has symptoms from his exposure in the fall of 1990 when he entered a silo full of corn silage to "uncap" it. Black corn mold filled the air and David ended up with a heavy exposure of mold and many years of compiling health issues and doctor visits. Symptoms lasted eleven years or more until we found the solution. No longer taking treatments for anything and having natural health is an immense blessing from God.

Will this work for you?  I don't know.  But, if you ask me if Farmer's Lung can be reversed I will emphatically say YES because my husband regained his health by addressing and eliminating the cause, the mold.

Different Fishing Techniques for Different Fish - Catching Channel, Blue and Flathead Catfish

Author: Daniel Eggertsen

There are three main species of catfish found in the rivers, lakes and streams of the United States - the channel catfish, the blue catfish, and the flathead catfish. For the most part, you go about catching them the same way, but there are some differences in technique between them. If you're going for a certain species of catfish, here are some tips on catching what you want.

Be Careful - Blues and Channel Cats Often Look Alike

Blue and channel catfish are often mistaken for one another. They do look surprisingly alike, and many beginner catfish anglers get them mixed up. The best way to tell the difference is by looking at the fins. Blues have anal fins at the very bottom of the spine that are long and pointy. Channels have more rounded fins in that area. Another way to tell what you've got is that blue catfish rarely have spots. If you see any spots at all, you know you've got a channel cat. Blues usually have bigger and more rounded heads as well. Once you've seen a few channel cats and blues, you'll be able to tell the difference by just looking at them.

Channel Cats

The tastiest catfish by far are channel cats. These fish are caught by private fishermen as well as big commercial enterprises because they are the best eating catfish.

You are most likely to find channel cats in big or medium sized rivers that don't have too much current, small ponds or lakes. Channel cats usually prefer warmer waters than the other species of catfish, especially for spawning. Channel cats usually hang out under logs and other obstructions in the water, and another good place to find them is in the spill out area of a dam.

The best time to catch channel cats is at night, during the summer when the waters are warm. Unlike other species of catfish, it is really tough to catch channels during their spawning season.

Channel cats will go after just about any bait you put out there, but they especially like live bait. Use nightcrawlers, bugs or other fish for best results. They are known to go for just about anything.

Blues

Blue cats are the big boys of the catfish kingdom. You can tell them because of their distinctive color, which is a kind of blue-grey, and also by the indicators mentioned above (the tail fins and overall shape). Blues roam just about any body of water you can imagine, they go out everywhere looking for food, and you can catch them when the water is freezing cold.

Using Hisbicus Flowers to be a Happier Woman

Author: Joseph Silva

Flower essence therapy may be new to many people, although their use has flourished with the popularity of Rescue Remedy, an essence combination for relief of tension under traumatic situations. Beyond this formula, there are a great many flower essences presented to address a mixture of emotional and psychological states. Here we'll have a look at flower essences particularly supportive of everyday 'women's issues', which may help you in your pains to become an improved, more dazzling female! What is flower essences? Think of the beauty and frailty of a flower, the purity and glare of a solitary indigo in springtime. Imagine if we could capture the essence, the pure vibrational property of that flower, and take that beautiful frequency within our being to rebuild the fatigue in our soul or the grief in our kindness. This is the art and science of creating flower essences. As with homeopathic remedies, flower essences work by their rare vibrational signatures, not by the actual substance that is ingested. Homeopathic remedies lean to work nearer to the rude body, while flower essences have their peak outcome on the lean, emotions, and will. They act at a delicate intensity to repair harmony and pervade definite energy into the delicate energy matrix which forms the foundation of our brute life. Essences are traditionally made by insertion flora in a bowl of water in the sunlight for 4 to 5 hours. The achieve of the sunlight is to transfer the active piece, or vibrational frequency, of the flora into the water. Each flower has its own very feature frequency, and water is a medium which can handhold that kind of lively name. Once the water has been abundant printed, it is then decanted into bottles and preserved, mostly with brandy. Here are a few essences which may help the divine female in feat it's impending within you... - Alpine Lily can espousal the acceptance of one's femininity stranded in a deepened experience of the female body, selection overcome overly abstract sagacity of femininity where one feels disembodied, with alienation from or rejection of female organs as "junior." Alpine Lily flowered essence helps the female soul experience a more brilliant relationship to the female body. While this remedy can sometimes be showed for men who are addressing hidden womanly aspects of themselves, it is primarily beneficial for women who anchorage a psychological break in their relationship to the female code. These women tend to increase that which is more cosmic and virginal, and find it complex to link with the person position of the female. They have many spiritual attributes and actively use advanced womanly services, but do not integrate this consciousness with the animal body. Negative impressions of the female body are regularly unconsciously absorbed from the mother or from the larger mores. Because the soul does not totally name with, or inhabit the female body, rude stress and disharmony can answer in the reproductive organs, in the sexual party, or in the biological experience of pregnancy and nurture. Alpine Lily flowered essence stimulates the integration of the womanly and female selves, promoting circulation between the superior and lesser energy centers. The soul learns that its occupied energy and aptitude depends of the utilization of the unrefined female as well as the spiritual womanly from this flower essence. - Pomegranate Flower Essence: This fruit tree is native to Western Asia. The flowers are red, gristly and bisexual. Parts of the conceal have been worn to luxury fevers, lymph challenges, leucorrhea, and throat evils. As a flower essence, it promotes heat-hearted feminine creativity, actively productive and promotion at home or in the world. It could be worn universally applied for near all emotional problems. Pomegranate is considered a 'devotion tonic' for women, and if they are having challenges in accepting their femininity, Pomegranate helps them to overcome such insecurities. This essence creates sagacity of nurturing or at the very slightest recognition of a hardship for nurturing within the individuals. Farther, It can open and stimulates the sexual chakra, with the nadis of this chakra being invigorated. This flowered essence genuinely accentuates all aspects of a female's femininity. Meditation and creative visualization can (and should) be readily be used with this essence. - Hibiscus Flower Essence: This essence promotes geniality and responsiveness in female sexuality; integration of soul honey and corporal passion. It may help one overcome inability to relate with one's female sexuality; poverty of geniality and animation, regularly due to former exploitation or abuse. One of the most tragic assaults to the soul dignity of women is the exploitation and commercialization of female sexuality. The greatly wounds the souls of many women so that they no longer feel a warm connection to their sexuality. Often the sexuality is divorced from deeper feelings of like and warmness which come from the kindness. In many suitcases sexual expression becomes cold and unresponsive, because the Soul can no longer call this part of the Self and brew it with passion and caring. Hibiscus flowered essence helps women to reclaim their sexuality, and to restore these soul services with vitality and authenticity. The Hibiscus essence may aid many women who have been sexually traumatized, and it is also normally beneficial for all advanced women who have unconsciously absorbed media imagery and other stereotypes of dehumanized sexuality. This remedied is sometimes also showed for men who need to increase a stronger relationship to feminine heat and confirmed sexuality. Hibiscus creates flowing kindness throughout the body and soul, especially medicinal the sexuality. - Beech Flower Essence: Beech can encourage tolerance, acceptance of others' differences and imperfections, seeing the good within each role and post. It may allocate relief of criticalness, judgmental attitudes, intolerance, perfectionist expectations of others, and oversensitivity to one's societal and physical environment. The Beech flowered essence helps transform the drive to be dangerous due to an inner meaning of inferiority and hypersensitivity which is projected onto others. Very regularly such personnel grew up in an environment of report and harsh expectation, and so they inwardly feel very vulnerable and insecure. However, they learn to handle by condemning others instead of curing themselves. Another characteristic of the Beech flower essence class is hypersensitivity to special environments, both physical and social. Their permeability to the influences around them leads to intolerance of imperfection in others. Beech softens the soul drag such persons feel; as they re-establish connection with their Higher Self, they sense the love an unconditional acceptance that radiates from the spiritual world. Through this warmth of soul, they are able to let go of their harsh and blaming habits, to accept others in the same way that the spiritual world accepted them. - Sunflower Flower Essence: This essence can pass a balanced sense of individuality and a sun-dazzling personality. Sunflower balances the Yin and Yang energies and attunes people to higher wisdom. Those who demonstrate anger or 'hostility' towards their father or other males in their life will help from Sunflower. It could carry increase away from low identity-prize or arrogance, particularly connected to a feeble relation to one's father or distorted mannish aspect of the person. The signature of the Sunflower is mostly astrological since the Sunflower looks like the sun and astrologically the sun is associated with the father, the gentleman ego, and spiritual erudition. Sunflower essence allows the durable character shines forward from the soul, not disparate the sun which radiates in the sky. This kind and wondrous soul trait of sparkle at once inspires with its light, and heals with its warmth. All human souls have within them, this function to shine like the sun, but many are afflicted in their ability to spring this solar weight in a balanced way. Some people mask their rightful sun spirit with feelings of character-effacement and low person-value. This train darkens the actual luster of the Higher Self; in these instances the Sunflower flower essence brings to the soul the quality of light. Others want their brilliance to shine too sturdily, glaring others with pompous self-glory and ego-aggrandizement. For these people, Sunflower flower essence brings out the quality of warmth, or loving compassion. Sunflower flowered essence also heals disturbances or distortions in the soul's relationship to the masculine, often associated with a conflicted or faulty relationship with the father in childhood. These are just a few of the many brilliant flower essences untaken today, though they may be among the most healing for many women. If one or more seems fitting, try running with them for the stop of one month (an astral rotation). This seems to be an appropriate time to give about change through essence control for many wants. It is best to take a few drops of each essence the epoch a day, or add a dropperful to a container of water in the morning and sipping throughout the day - essences are better used in recurrent, small doses. Hopefully these, or other flower essences can help you in your quest to become a brighter, strong and well lady!

Re-Capture Romance And Bring It Back Into Your Life

Author: Candace Czarny

As life gets more and more busy and as the responsibilities pile up on your plate, such as your career and family, it can be hard to pay attention to the smaller things that make life pleasant. One of the things that you may notice slipping is romance. How can you recapture romance and bring it back into your life and relationship? Understanding the simple philosophy of Feng Shui can improve your romantic life quickly and easily. By creating an every day life full of balance and harmony, you will find romance returning and improvement in your most important relationship, that with your lover or potential mate. With Feng Shui and romance, you must remember that you and what is important to yourself comes before anything else.

If your goal is to improve Feng Shui and romance, it is essential to understand what the love center or romance area of your home is. This romance center is to the far right corner of your house from the entrance, or it is the far right corner of every room that you enter. Focusing on this area of your home or in each room will increase your Feng Shui and romance. A way to improve the romance area is to create a feeling of comfort and relaxation. Do this with smart decorating and design choices, such as using pleasant colors and freeing the area of clutter. You want to have an inviting space that encourages intimacy. When you have a warm and welcoming space, you will find romance flowing more freely through your house and within your life.

An important concept to keep in mind when it comes to Feng Shui and romance is to rid your current life of any past romances. This is simple to do - remove any associations with these past relationships, including mementos and pictures. Once you have done this, you will find it easier to bring a new romance into your life. You may even consider replacing your bed and other bedroom furniture if it has connections with your old love. This change may be more drastic, but it will create an atmosphere that will welcome a new and successful romance.

Other items to remove from your bedroom, and important place in the home for Feng Shui and romance, are objects that are related to other activities that have nothing to do with love. These items include your television, exercise equipment, and personal computer. These everyday objects can be more appropriately placed in other areas of the house where they won't affect the peaceful energies you are trying to create in the bedroom. If these items must remain in the bedroom, try to shield them from view by using a screen or curtain.

Feng Shui and romance in the bedroom can be enhanced by furniture arrangement. When it comes to bed placement, you want to make sure that it is situated as far from the entrance door as possible, although you still want the bed to be within sight from the doorway. A solid headboard is another physical feature that encourages Feng Shui and romance by representing the solidity of the relationship you are pursuing.

Another simple physical aspect to tackle when improving the Feng Shui and romance in your bedroom is to remove any unnecessary clutter. This also applies to any other area of the house, but when it comes to romance it is most essential to clear the bedroom of unsightly and nonfunctional clutter. This includes objects lying on the floor, or excessive decorations on top of your dresser. Clutter certainly does not encourage intimacy and will detract from the atmosphere of romance that you are trying to build with Feng Shui.

Another simple trick is to create the feeling within the bedroom that you are not single, even if you aren't currently in a relationship. Do this by placing a second pillow on your bed and making extra room in your bathroom and closet. This is a good way to use Feng Shui and romance to encourage a potential new love. Also, be sure that the artwork within your bedroom is a reflection of romance by avoiding landscapes that appear lonely or photographs of a single person. Good artwork to include on the walls or on your dresser are pictures of things in pairs, such as two flowers or two animals. These simple measures will encourage romance and love to blossom within your bedroom and life.

A great Feng Shui and romance tip is to bring in living elements from the outdoors. Fresh flowers or an attractive plant are objects that can be incorporated into your home for encouraging a pleasant atmosphere and romance. Of course, do not keep around wilting or dried up flowers, as these will harm your levels of Feng Shui and romance within the home.

To encourage romance within your life, concentrate on the love that is already present, including your family and friends. Embracing this love will create a welcoming attitude for romantic love. Feng Shui and romance will flourish throughout your home and life if you keep a positive spirit that is open to the possibility of a new love.

Current trends in little Girl Clothing.

The fashion industry now offers a huge range of girls designer clothing. Little girls and baby girls can now enjoy a varied and extensive range of fashion collections, which helps them to set a fashion trend of their own.

Even very young girls have their own fashion preferences, which is why top fashion designers are now focusing on creating extensive collections each season especially for girls. In girls clothing boutiques one can find unique, retro, bright, ingenious, interesting, whimsical and fashion forward designs for trendsetting little girls.

Today girls are treated to an array of choices in fashion clothing trends from very tender ages. The vast range of clothing choices presented to girls teaches them to develop a sense of their own clothing originality, nurturing their developing sense of individual style. So what can little girls choose from? What is the way forward in girls fashion?

This season girls clothing, particularly little girls clothing and baby girls clothing trends are swinging away from the ‘mimi me’ designs, heading towards a new chapter, expressions from eras gone by are making their way back into the forefront of little girls and baby girls clothing designs.

Whimsical designs are beginning to appear with flowing cotton voile and silk dresses, layers of ruffles and girly embellishments are prominent, allowing little girls to be just what they are, little girls. The romanticism of the 60’s is evident in girls dresses and skirts. We are seeing a resurgence of puffy, boat neck dresses, lined with tulle, tying at the back with big bows.

Tops and shirts have taken a step back in time to the peace loving 60’s, tees embellished with peace signs are popping up in many designs. My vintage baby’s original designs reflect this era in girls clothing with patchwork dresses and ruffled patchwork peasant skirts and matching baby doll tops.

A season for gorgeous girls dresses, the A-line dress is making a statement in the little girls clothing industry; empire waists, flowing soft fabrics, teaming comfort with style. The girls flapper dress made a come back this season, tiers of beautiful ruffles from top to toe. Silk fabrics give the flapper dress that certain sense of upscale style with a dash of fun for little girls who love to dance.

Girls and baby girls lacey, crotched swing tops and jackets made a return visit. Colours are soft pinks, blues and lilacs for summer – blacks, reds, greys and warm browns for winter. Fastening at the neckline with one large button, allowing the swing jacket to flow outwards from the body to show off the stunning girls outfit underneath.

Prints and patterns are winners with an emphasis on floral designs, eye catching retro and inspired geometrics. Hues are bright for summer clothing and toned down for autumn and winter girls clothing ranges. Solid colours are still prominent, tangerines and limes for summer; greys, reds and blacks for winter. Plaids are in vogue for winter, bright plaids are best with reds, blues and tinges of greens. Argyle is in style for little girls and babies this winter, featuring on sweaters, jackets, pleated 60’s inspired skirts and flared pants. Belted shift dresses are back, as are polka dots, tweeds and ruffles.

An exciting chapter has opened in the little girls fashion industry, the shift away from the ‘mimi me’ look is evident, back to the ‘let little girls look like little girls’ era. There are endless styles, designs and ranges in boutique for the fashion conscious little girl to choose from. So, let’s breathe a sigh of relief that finally we can let little girls look like themselves again.

Is it true that every guy only loves one girl in his whole life?

Author: thachi

I learned the other day from the Internet that every guy only loves one girl in his whole life. Guys may say “I LOVE YOU” to thousands of girls, but they are nothing like girls. Guys always want to know how is everything going with their ex-girlfriends and want to do them a favor or take care of them. What I am trying to express is when a fancy couple break up, the girl will date other guys soon and compare her exs with her present date. Especially she will exaggerat the ex's weakness and the present one's advantage. Gradually, she will forget how much she loved her exs and move on to another relationship. But guys are so different. They will think about the girl that he was in love with and maybe he will treat many other girls really well as a husband or boyfriend but deep deep down in his heart, he always wants to take care of the very special girl he had been with. Do you think so? Have you ever been with a guy who misses his ex all the time or a girl who you cannot forget and wants to look after her and wondering if she is doing great. Oh, for what’s worth, this is just personal idea. Maybe it's not an universal acknowledgement, but welcome to share your opinion! But I do agree that every guy has someone really special at the bottom of his heart who he thinks about all the time. golf clubs

Lips

Tips For Beautiful And Sexy Lips

Author: Donna Rice

No matter what the ethnicity, her lips often define a woman's sex appeal. The size and shape of the lips can label a woman as "hot" or "not". Unfortunately, not all women are born with voluptuous and perfectly shaped kissers. Some try to enhance their petite lips with collagen using surgical procedures. Others may purchase lip-enhancing makeup that promise to plump up and add character to the lips. But the bad news is that, these methods, tried and true, may require more money or time than you may have bargained for. The good news is that you can employ these sexy lip tips at home with the products that you probably already own to enjoy sexy and fuller lips.

· To make your lips appear fuller: It is best to line your lips with a neutral colored pencil to create a fuller lip. Be careful not to draw outside of your lip's natural line, but rather right on top of it. This will prevent you from wearing the "clown look". After you have lined your lips, apply your lip color, then add a high shine lip gloss. If you prefer not to wear gloss, use a high shine lip color. Lip-glosses add that pouty look that so many women desire. You may also try this tip: line your bottom lip with a liner about 2 shades darker than the color of your chosen lip-gloss. Try a plumping lip-gloss. They work pretty well. Choose a shade that is complimentary to your lipstick shade.

· To Even out Crooked Lips: First, coat your lips in face foundation, then lightly powder. Even out the thinnest lip with a liner that is the same color as your lip color. After balancing out the lips, even out the powder and liner with a softening sponge to make the look more natural. If you want a more pouty look, use a darker pencil and add a line just slightly underneath your bottom lip. Careful with this, the trick is to blend it so that you don't get that clown effect.

· For Dry or Chapped Lips: A tried and true method for dry and chapped lips is to apply a natural shea butter lip balm each night. When you sleep at night, you are sure to retain some of that moisture and lock it in before you wake up to apply your make up. It is important though, to use a lip balm underneath your lip color or gloss in order to maintain that gloss throughout the day. Aloe Vera gel and vitamin E oils are great for coating your lips, as well. Use a lip exfoliator once a week to ward off cracked dry lips, even if you don't suffer from this problem. Sally Hansen makes a great lip exfolliant.

· To shape your lips: Where your lips need definition, cover your lip line with face foundation. Follow up with a powder. If your lips lack the V formation, draw a V at the middle portion of your lips. Apply lip color, just beneath your liner. Lastly apply your gloss, (if desired). Remember, a darker liner creates more of a pouty look.

·Moist or Matte: Matte lipsticks tend to have more staying powder and look great as day wear. Moist/glossy looks top off that evening look sensationally. But what you wear depends greatly on how long you need your color to last and how much definition you need added to your lips. (Glosses add more depth to lips, but require more applications) There really are no rules here. Remember, no matter which choice you make, less is still more.

Your lips can be sexy even if you weren't born with Angelina Jolie's package. Work with what God gave you and enhance your own kissers. Take care of your lips and treat them with love by keeping them hydrated and moisturized, and your lips will thank you for it!

Blind Date

Blind Date versus Internet Date: Which One?

Author: David Kamau

Picture this. Your friend has decided that you need help with your social life. She sets you up a date with someone you have never met nor have any idea what they look like. You have just got yourself a blind date. But wait. The real "fun" has barely begun.
Simply described, a blind date is a date between people who have never met and know little or nothing about each other. Typically, it is set up by one person who knows both parties.
Let's say you accept to go on the date. Now there you are sitting in a Mexican restaurant eating heavily garnished Mexican food that you don't have the stomach for. You both look at each other, neither one knowing where to begin, or how to break the ice so to speak.
The entree has not yet been served. His idea of enlightened conversation, if he finds a way to start, is who will be in the final four. You don't really care. He knows the weekly TV schedule to the letter which tells you he has a bit too much time on his hands.
You try to tell him about you. About that marathon you are preparing for and your volunteer work. He says, "Volunteering is a waste of time because you can't help 'those people' anyway." You will have to end this pretty soon before one of you ends up in jail for killing the other.
Granted, not all blind dates end in disaster. But the very "blindness" adds to the recipe.
Now imagine a date with someone you met through internet dating and have been chatting online and exchanging emails with for quite some time.
First, you don't need to be introduced. You already "know" this him, his interests and hobbies. And he "knows" you too. You are sitting in an Italian restaurant enjoying a delightful meal because you both know that the other's favorite is Italian.
The conversation flows easily as you discuss common interests- after all this date is a result of a compatible match. He runs marathons and loves history just like you do. You happily discuss the volunteer work that each of you is involved in. You look at your watch and discover that it is late. Very late (how time flies!)
While not all online dates necessarily end up on a happy note, the scales are tipped heavily in favor of an internet date versus a blind date. Need I say more?

Why Do People Become Serial Killers And Mass Murderers

Author: Sean M. Clarke

There are differences between mass murderers and serial killers:  Mass murderers kill a number of people at one time and in one place. Mass murderers usually attack schools; universities and restaurants believing it to be a place for a maximum kill effect. They often die at the scene of the multiple slayings, either through suicide or police action. Only occasionally do they turn themselves into the police after the killings. Serial killers on the other hand, murder one at a time and go to great lengths to avoid detection and apprehension.  The US is believed to have the highest number of serial killers.  Why do people become serial killers or mass murderers?   Any problem can have causes either in one or more of the 3 dimensions, namely the physical, the psychological and the spiritual. Spiritual research has shown that the main root cause for a person to commit serial killing and mass murder lies in the spiritual realm. The breakdown of the reasons why a person commits serial killing and mass murder is like this - Psychological - 10% Physical - 0% Spiritual - 90%  The psychological factors have been well documented in various publications available on the Internet.  With regards to the spiritual factors it is primarily demonic possession by medium level ghosts from the 2nd region of hell. In some cases these people have been possessed for many births by the same higher level ghosts.  It is for this reason that it is very difficult to predict when a mass murderer may go on a killing spree as the ghost possessing him can do it at any time without any warning signs.  Does this mean that serial killers and mass murderers are exonerated for their crimes at a karmic level?  As per the Law of karma we have to experience happiness or suffer the consequences of our actions and thoughts. For extreme acts like killing someone one has to suffer severely at a spiritual level in this lifetime or the next. But what if an entity or a ghost acted through a person? And by possessing the person, the ghost made the person commit heinous crimes like serial killing and mass murder. Is the possessed person still responsible as per the Law of Karma? The answer is yes. The reason for this is that a ghost gains entry into our consciousness and possesses us due to our own vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities include a high amount of demerits accrued from previous births, incorrect deeds, personality defects such as fear and anger that lead to anxiety and stress, lack of spiritual practice, etc. Even mass murderers or serial killers who are psychologically impaired incur demerits for their crime. The reason is that, basically they are psychologically deranged due to some major incorrect action of theirs either in this or some past birth. That is why they are still accountable for their crimes even though they may not be fully aware of their actions when committing the crime. However the extent of demerits incurred is less than if they were to do the act without being possessed or psychologically deranged as compared to an average person in his senses and in full consciousness committing the same crimes.  Demerits earned due to mass murders or serial killing   60% - A psychologically impaired person going on a killing spree  60 % - A person under the complete control of ghost going on a killing spree  100% - An average person going on a killing spree    Mass murderers like Hitler would be earning demerits exponentially more than 100 on the above relative scale.  In summary   Spiritual root causes of problems can only be completely rectified through spiritual means. Regular spiritual practice as per the 6 basic principles of spiritual practice is the only sure way of preventing a ghost possessing us. Spiritual practice is also the only sure way of being protected from the onslaught of mass murderers and serial killers.
