How to Love yourself and feel “Inner Peace”

By Jo Anna Payne­Jones Ph.D Love and Inner peace are part of our spiritual side. Glasser thought that if we change our thoughts we can change our behaviors.

Behavior could be shaped for better choices leading to a happier world.

A gap often exists between beliefs and behavior.

Perfection is an unattainable goal. However, as behavior more fully mirrors values, something wonderful happens inner peace can be experience.

Inner peace is a bringing together of what I do and what I really value. If we value developing an inner peace for both ourselves and young children as identifiable and obtainable values and which emphasis the importance of inner peace, the environment must deal with stress. Stress is a natural element of life.

Inner peace could also be identified as self­ esteem, confidence and spiritualism. My definition includes love. Inner peace is when a human being has learned to love oneself, others and the environment.

In history Jesus is the extreme example. Today’s examples may be Maya Angelou, Nelson Mandela, add it is to early to list Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama.

If inner peace is to be achieved it is a journey of trials and tribulations which lead to joy, peace and love. Erickson describes 8 stages of growth. Trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame and doubt, initiative vs. quit, industry vs. lack of industry, identify vs. role confusion, generativity vs. stagnation and finally integrity vs despair. In each stage competence must be obtained to proceed unscathed to the next stage.

Inner peace comes at time when we achieve our goals of self identity and competence.

Identifying stress one would state, stress kills.

Yet it is a necessary part of life and in small does helps us cope with life. We can learn how to deal with stress as a child­positive habits can last a life time and contribute to “well being”. How do you cope with stress? How do you relax or solve problems? Having clear cut values and knowing how to practice these values leads to coping with stress. Coping with stress can bring an inner peace. Inner peace leads to love of oneself, others, and the environment. Learning how to think critically, gather information, and research ideas brings knowledge which nurtures inner peace.

Knowledge of itself cannot accomplish this goal.

Knowledge without evaluation, analysis and

application becomes empty.

During these trying times learning how to deal with stress and develop an inner peace is essential for survival. How can we learn survival skills such as problem solving, innovation, creativity and learning how to love in a world that is in chaos? Everyone from the newborn infant to the senior citizen needs to relax.

Hopefully by the time someone becomes a citizen, that person has a repertoire of relaxation techniques. It is different for the young child. Children need to learn how to relax, rest, and develop a sense of inner peace.

Inner peace is closely related to a “positive” self image.

In order to deal with stress, a child must learn how to relax. Play is the means by which the child can experience and explore the aspects of developing relaxation strategies. Play sets the stage for a happy child who uses every part of the body and mind.

Children need to play. There are many forms of play.

After active play, relaxing play can be planned. The exercises suggested here are forms of both physical and mental play. In order, to maximize the benefits of play for a young child, the environment must be planned. Props, materials and activities can all contribute to play. Play is the child’s work, it is how they learn about the world. it properties, and relationships.

Sometimes active play leads to exhaustion and then quiet play can renew the spirit.

Relaxing becomes a part of the day’s play routines.

Exercises: Help the child learn all their body parts; Simon says is an old game used with children to help develop their listening skills. Change the words to “Mommy says”; Read books to your child. For this particular value, “learning how to relax and develop inner peace.” Concentrate on reading books about puppies, dogs, and other animals. Find books about children playing and resting; Visit a zoo and talk about how the animals play and then need to rest.

Animals need to sleep . Some animals play during the day and sleep at night. While other animals sleep during the day and play at night. Take a visualization walk in your house. Go outside give your child a hug and a kiss and take a hand and walk through the house to the bedroom, find a pair of pajamas, undress, put on the pajamas and tuck the child into bed. Describe and talk about each step of the way. Describe the house, the pajamas, taking off the clothes and being

tucked into bed. Have the child close his/her eyes after each step.

With the eyes closed have the child describe what he/she sees.

Believe it or not doing this activity will help your child not only learn how to relax but will help the child learn to read, take exams, become creative and encourage imagination.

All of these endeavors require visualization and memory.

Now you are ready to make up some of your own exercises. Set aside some time everyday to work on realization and inner peace.

Inner peace also mean being grateful for what we have. Help your child learn how to give thanks for his family, house, etc.

After you have established your own exercises, choose a routine that you will do each day at bedtime.

Vary this routine slightly from night to night or week to week but plan the routine with your child. For example: tonight is story night or Tuesday is story night. Wednesday we will listen to a CD for several nights. Sometimes children never get tired of the same routine. But you might. Let your child choose what you are going to do sometime and you also make suggestions and sometimes you choose. Have a special but brief ritual that never changes for example a special kiss or hug. A special or secret saying or a look. Do not include a glass of water or eat before bedtime. Parenting is work, takes time and planning

but is immensely rewarding.

One last suggestion if your child is scared upon going to bed. Don’t threaten, enjoy this time before bed. If your child is very frightened buy a plastic bottle fill it with a light fragrance. Be sure that no one is allergic to the spray and that the spray is safe.

Cover the bottle with a label entitled “Monster spray” and spray the room. You can also tell the child, “I do not believe in monsters but you think that there are monsters so lets get rid of them, spray the monster with our Monster spray.

Can Google stop Android 3.0 Honeycomb porting?

By Contributor Motorola Xoom (the When Google decided to come flagship Honeycomb out and say that they will be tablet) has been available withholding the Android 3.0 for about a month at this Honeycomb source code, it likely point and we still have didn't sit too well with some would­ yet to see the source code be porters, or those looking to install go live. The question isn't a custom ROM based off of the whether Google will software. While it claims that release the code, it's porting Honeycomb to other devices when, and if it will have may result in a poor user experience, made some sort of tweaks Google will have to take some drastic to the code to inhibit it measures to ensure it doesn't from running on phones. happen.

If Google really Android 3.0 Honeycomb is intends to keep made for tablets, and tablets only, at Honeycomb off of devices least in its current form. But, that it wasn't meant for, it will hasn't stopped some developers either need to implement from bringing the new software to a real way of blocking it, some smartphones via custom­ or give developers baked ROMs. These custom ROMs something else to work are barely more than just proof of with. This could come in concept (Dell inspiron 6000 the form of the next Batteries life), and don't actually version of Android made work all that well, but the source for phones, but even code for Honeycomb would help then, it would be hard to change all that. Google may have believe that someone out some very good reasons as to why it there wouldn't be actively has yet to release the code, but trying to port the OS to a surely some developers are taking it smaller device it wasn't Google usually drops the source code SDK, or the flagship product running as a dare. meant to run on. We've seen desktop into the Android Open Source Project the software. However, we didn't see Android developers and hackers operating systems running on (AOSP) shortly after the release of the that happen this time around, as the have been spoiled in the sense that phones, so you best believe that

Honeycomb will make it there, unless big G does something to stop it.

Honeycomb likely needs some more tweaking on the back­end of things before Google releases it to the public. The main concern may not even be the porting of the OS, but that it needs an OEM's touch (Dell inspiron 1501 battery Recharge), or a considerable amount of extra work for it to function as you see it on the Xoom, or other Honeycomb tablets that will become available very soon.

Whatever the case may be, if it's possible, Android 3.0 will be ported to every device a developer is willing to put the effort into. In that aspect, Google can't do much to stop it.

Personally, I believe this is less of an issue than some may make it out to be. Google will release the source code when every it sees fit.

This should please developers, and those who want some Honeycomb­ goodness on their "unsupported" devices. The only way I could see this leaving a bad taste in someone's mouth is if Google does indeed somehow block the ability to bring this version of the OS to phones. I don't see that happening, but anything is possible.

What Is The Difference Between A Netbook and A Notebook

By Contributor The difference between a laptop and netbook 1. appearance although they look pretty similar, but their screen size is different. Most of netbooks are 7 inch to 10.2 inch screen, but laptops are all above 10.2 inch, netbooks emphasize on portable and lightweight.

2. Configuration Most of netbooks are based on Intel Atom CPU, stress on its lower energy­waste and longer battery hours. Ordinary laptops has stronger media functions.

Additionally netbooks emphasize on Wi­Fi, but its hard drive is not big as laptops.

3.purpose Netbooks is mainly used for surfing the internet, you can use it for listening music, watch video on youtube.com, online chat, send and receive e­mail, basic online games.

Laptops could install complicated software, download, save, play CD/DVD, video meetings, open and editing big files, multi­tasking and better user experienced games.

Compare to laptops, netbooks is more portable and smaller. But on performance it cannot compare to laptops.

Netbooks are mainly designed for office use, and for those who don't want to spend a lot of money to buy expensive laptop.

Netbooks media functions is not as capable as laptop.

The description for ‘netbook' is: netbook is a wireless device based on Intel Atom CPU, it has functions of surfing internet, sending and receiving e­mail and instant message(IM), and can play video and music.

Netbook size is between 7­10 inch, weight under 1.5 KG, most of them are between 1.0 to 1.2 KG. Most of

keyboards are not full size keyboard.

Its market is for those business people who need a second laptop, or for journalist or those who always travel for work and they need to write a lot on laptop, but laptop is too heavy to carry around In one word, netbook is a not fully functioned laptop, internet is its central application, and Wi­Fi is the core function.

On current market of netbooks, about 30% are Linux system.

However, battery after a few months it might gone quickly, Wi­Fi might for some people to hack in.

Most of netbooks last 2­4 hours, but after one year it will shrink to 1 hour, and finally it has to use ac adaptors if you still want to use it.

Come help us raise awareness about Lupus and walk for someone you know who is living with this condition. We are collecting monetary donations for the Lupus Foundation of America, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for Lupus as well as providing support services to all persons affected

by Lupus.

By Ethel Martin­Miller This month I thought I would write about supporting your own community. All of us have a downtown area within the city that we have chosen to live. There are grocery stores, party supply stores, mechanic shops, donut shops, restaurants and the list goes on and on. Of the many different small to large businesses in the community in which we live.

Many of us will run to malls and Superstores the majority of the time passing right by the small businesses.

I have had several small businesses in my life time. It hurts when no one comes into your store enough to keep you in business. Many small stores close down because they have been forgotten. The small businesses in your community need your help. Yes, the Mall you might say have everything and it is easier to just go there. Well, I am here to tell you that those small business owner were there long before the malls ever came along and we should not forget about them. Please make an effort to go and patronize the businesses in your city. Think about what you may need that you can purchase from them.

I had a shoe store many years ago and many of times I would have a big smile awaiting for the customers entering into my store, but on the inside I was crying out for more customers to come in and not go to larger establishments. My shoes were fashionable and the prices were right, but because I was in a Shopping Center many would pass right by me and go to the Malls. Just think about it if it were your store, you would want your community to support you.

Also, pick up any small newspapers that you see placed in businesses and churches for your information. These small newspapers have a lot of local news and information about your community that a larger newspaper would not have. Larger newspapers concentrate on a broader scope information unlike smaller, localized publications.

Now, my last request is get to know a few of your neighbors, Its nice to know that if someone knows you enough that if “God forbid” you go on a months vacation and all of a sudden people are living in your house.

Your neighbors could possibly call the police and report the intruders.

Face Painting!

Bring the whole Family!

Do You Have The Right Confidence To Make The Sale?

By Ray Turnbull yourself in.

First and foremost, the very Imagine a boxer that was first thing you need develop in sales getting hit a lot because he kept and negations is your confidence. But dropping his hands. Straight away his be aware of the fools sense of confidence which plagues most salesmen, and that is the confidence which is based totally on bravado. Let me explain! Say you are a physically confident person. You would most likely tell yourself that you could cruise through life and be in total control of any aggressive situation, but when you're put into a situation where you're confronted by someone who's a lot more intellectual than you are, (and I've seen this happen to people), all of a sudden your confidence is taken away.

It has nothing to do with your strengths, it has to do with your weaknesses, and all of a sudden your confidence isn't there anymore.

When people have a weakness, and someone exposes that weakness, you lose total confidence. Confidence isn't something that you can just label based on a few things.

Developing total confidence is a fairly complex subject, and it covers all areas of your life, not just simply the one or two areas that you are already convinced that you do have confidence in. It's all about developing the confidence you need in the areas you are weakest and the areas in which you intend to apply

coach would say he needs to keep his hands up and that will stop him getting hit so much. He does this, it works, and now he has more confidence. But what if he had no one to tell him.

What do you think would happen to his confidence?

Either he will become tougher so that he can take more hits or quit all together, both are a losing situation to be in.

So you need a mentor or coach to make sure you develop your confidence the right way.

So what are the right confidences?

There are a few, but today I will be discussing technical confidence. First of all you need to stay in one particular industry and learn as much about that

particular industry as possible, so that you can build your technical confidence. Some people think that sales is about going out and faking your way through it with good looks and tricks.

What I advise is that you get into a sales career in an industry that you can see a future in, and something that you will love and enjoy talking to clients or potential customers about, and, stick to it. Put in the time to develop your technical confidence. Developing confidence in sales at the top level is going to be done over a couple of years. This is not just a fly by night sort of thing that you should be doing to fill in time. Success is something that has to be developed.

So, get into an industry that you have a passion for. Remember you are going to have to sit down one on one with a client and no matter what they ask you, you are going to have to be able to clearly and precisely answer their questions and do it fluently and without hesitation. As the saying goes, "he who hesitates is lost", is very true when applied to sales. People pick up on hesitation and see it as being a weakness, and this is where you find you will lose most of your sales.

You need to make sure that you have the knowledge to answer somebody's questions or fulfill their

needs and actually give them all the right information in a very controlled and confident manner so that they can make an informed decision. So you've got to be totally fluent in your knowledge and language of the industry that you are in, and you've got to know your industry extremely well. If you're selling a particular product such as a motor vehicle, then you better know everything, not just about that vehicle, but also about the oppositions vehicles in the same price range that offer the same type of things.

You've got to know the strengths and weaknesses of your opposition's products. That's one step towards gaining technical confidence. Your goal for this week: Go out and start learning as much about your particular field as possible. Learn the terminology, the slang, the technology and the results of that technology and this will dramatically improve your technical confidence and this will show in your sales performance. But remember, there are no short cuts, and what you have learned here today is only the first small step of many to becoming a successful salesperson. Until next time............ "Bye for now, and remember that tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your new life!"

By Yvonne Spear How do I save my business is the second question that I am asked the most.

Many people end up closing their doors when their business can be saved. Being in business is huge investment of time and money. How do you know when it it's time to give up and walk away?

You business starts with you and your family needs. You need to stay in business? This is what you need!

Income: Is your business bringing in money; If the answer is no, this is what you can do to change it.

Make a budget and start cutting cost. Get rid of things that are not being used.

Updated your systems. How does your business run? When is the last time you updated or even automated your systems? You are only as good as the systems you work on. If your systems are outdated or not computerized you are a dinosaur.

very little money. To sponsor an event, partner with local business.

Start by sponsoring a church event or community event. Churches love back to school events. For the cost of donated school supplies you introduce your business to the whole congregation.

Start networking, public speaking for events and groups. Write articles about your business. Become active in your community. Go where you customers are. Join social networks on the web.

industry?

Check your local government and city websites.

Improve your customer service.

Invite your customers for a coffee chat. Go to that local café and ask if you could invite your customers in for an event. Ask for the space for free in exchange for bringing in new business. Don't be cheap buy coffee and pastries for your clients from the café. Don't do a hard sell. Be social, make if fun and have a door prize (donated by a local business) or a gift certificate from the café. Give everyone a survey about your customer service. Read it and take it seriously and make changes Pay your bills and start making arrangements. Don't avoid your creditors. Deal with them honestly. If you don't have the money to pay them now, see if you can start paying in small amounts to show good faith.

Everyone will not agree, but this is a good start.

Treat you employees with respect tell them what is going on. All your employee may not stay with you.

This will give you an opporunity to know who is loyal and what is going on in your business.

Put your money in the bank not in your pocket. Pay your bills and employees from your bank account not your pocket. You will better records. Don't for get to pay yourself.

Even if it is a little money pay yourself.

Change the look of your business. Cleaning and Painting is the least expensive way to update the look of your business.

If your business is not clean of disorganized, clean it up and get it organized. If you need new furniture don't go on a shopping spree. Go one craigslist or a secondhand furniture store. Think like a client, if you cannot keep your business clean and organized, you will turn them off.

Help My Business Is Dying Evaluate the management including you. Review all employees' performance including yours. Start doing performance reviews. Have someone that you trust give their opinion in your business for one week. Let them give you an overall view of you and your staff. This can be hard to hear.

Cut the dead weight. It's hard in a small business to fire or layoff people. Times are tough and this is your business. You cannot care more for your employees than you care for yourself and your family.

Change the way you market your business. If you are heavy in advertising switch to doing PR. People are saturated with advertising these days. Most people fast forward during commercials. Start driving people to your doors with publicity over advertising. How do you start a PR campaign? Start a group, or become a sponsor. Sponsorship cost

But perhaps suggestions for tailoring your responses is a better way to put it, since specific answers are impossible to provide. Practice answering these sample interview questions out loud to yourself or ask a friend or relative to help you.

Don't feel that you have to answer right away.

Interviewers know that you're nervous and expect you to think a bit, so do think carefully before you answer. But don't hesitate too long or it'll appear that you're stalling. Interviewers will ask open­ended questions to see where you'll go with them, so try not to ramble while you're thinking of a real answer.

Q. Tell me about yourself.

A. This is the dreaded, classic, open­ ended interview question and likely to be among the first. It's your chance to introduce your qualifications, good work habits, etc. Keep it mostly work and career related.

Q. Why do you want to leave your current job? (Why did you leave your last job?)

A. Be careful with this. Avoid trashing other employers and making statements like, "I need more money."

Instead, make generic statements such as, "It's a career move."

Q. What are your strengths?

A. Point out your positive attributes related to the job.

Q. What are your weaknesses?

A. Everybody has weaknesses, but don't spend too much time on this one and keep it work related. Along with a minor weakness or two, try to point out a couple of weaknesses that the interviewer might see as strengths, such as sometimes being a little too meticulous about the quality of your work. (Avoid saying "I work too hard."

It's a predictable, common answer.)

For every weakness, offer a strength that compensates for it.

Q. Which adjectives would you use to describe yourself?

A. Answer with positive, work­oriented adjectives, such as conscientious, hard­ working, honest and courteous, plus a brief description or example of why each fits you well.

Q. What do you know about our company?

A. To answer this one, research the company before you interview.

Q. Why do you want to work for us?

A. Same as above. Research the company before you interview. Avoid the

predictable, such as, "Because it's a great company." Say why you think it's a great company.

Q. Why should I hire you?

A. Point out your positive attributes related to the job, and the good job you've done in the past. Include any compliments you've received from management.

Q. What past accomplishments gave you satisfaction?

A. Briefly describe one to three work projects that made you proud or earned you pats on the back, promotions, raises, etc. Focus more on achievement than reward.

Q. What makes you want to work hard?

A. Naturally, material rewards such as perks, salary and benefits come into play. But again, focus more on achievement and the satisfaction you derive from it.

Q. What type of work environment do you like best?

A. Tailor your answer to the job. For example, if in doing your job you're required to lock the lab doors and work alone, then indicate that you enjoy being a team player when needed, but also enjoy working independently. If you're required to attend regular project planning and status meetings,

then indicate that you're a strong team player and like being part of a team.

Q. Why do you want this job?

A. To help you answer this and related questions, study the job ad in advance.

But a job ad alone may not be enough, so it's okay to ask questions about the job while you're answering. Say what attracts you to the job. Avoid the obvious and meaningless, such as, "I need a job."

Q. How do you handle pressure and stress?

A. This is sort of a double whammy, because you're likely already stressed from the interview and the interviewer can see if you're handling it well or not.

Everybody feels stress, but the degree varies. Saying that you whine to your shrink, kick your dog or slam down a fifth of Jack Daniels are not good answers. Exercising, relaxing with a good book, socializing with friends or turning stress into productive energy are more along the lines of the "correct" answers.

Q. Explain how you overcame a major obstacle.

A. The interviewer is likely looking for a particular example of your problem­ solving skills and the pride you show for solving it.

Q. Where do you see yourself five (ten or

A. Explain your career­advancement goals that are in line with the job for which you are interviewing. Your interviewer is likely more interested in how he, she or the company will benefit from you achieving your goals than what you'll get from it, but it goes hand in hand to a large degree.

A. Tout your skills, experience, education and other qualifications, especially those that match the job description well. Avoid just regurgitating your resume. Explain why.

Q. Why did you choose your college major?

A. The interviewer is likely fishing to see if you are interested in your field of work or just doing a job to get paid.

Explain why you like it. Besides your personal interests, include some rock­ solid business reasons that show you have vision and business sense.

POWERFUL MOTIVATIONAL PRINCIPLES TO LIVE BY

By Dr. Ed McNair Phd. As I look back over fifty plus years of fruitful ministry and life it self, one of the interesting thing to me is how people handle their problems, perhaps I should say how we handle our problems because none of us are with out them. Our problems are meant to be solved. Some of them can be solved easier than others, and some are more difficult. But problems are a part of our growth plan, we need problems in order to grow and mature. They are not meant to learn how to live with them but to solve them.

Before a problem can enter the universe the solution must come first then the problem. In order to support this claim, let us look at some principles from the scriptures. In the very first sentence in the bible we have these words. In the beginning God

created the heavens and the earth. Now the words GOD CREATED is the solution, but the problem does not exist at this point, but we have the solution. God created! Let us continue in order that we may find the problem, well don’t worry they will find you, they always does. Now, the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep; now we have the problem, formless, empty and darkness, Now that is a problem, a big problem.

Now observe the implementation of the solution to the problem. And the spirit of God; The solution always began with the spirit of God; was hovering over the waters. And God said let there be light and there was light.

Notice that the spirit of God is not problem focus, but focuses instead on the solution. He addresses the solution. You can’t

steer a car while it is standing still, it must be in motion. The spirit of God is always in motion, so in order for us to get the solution to the problems we must be in, or get in right motion with the spirit of God. We are co­creator with Him. We could solve every problem if we only have enough light!

In most cases we would prevent problems from arising in the first place. The lack of light and understanding is what causes problems!

Now, let deal with these two things, light and darkness. Let me tell you about darkness, (1) darkness is not a part of creation. (2) it has no source, (3) nothing is generating it, (4) we can’t make it, God didn’t make it. (5) it is passive, without active response no resistance. (6) it is highly intimidated by light, it knows it has to go when the light comes, it does not even put up

No Time To Lose Heart, Pray This month I thought I would write about supporting your own community.

All of us have a downtown area within the city that we have chosen to live. There are grocery stores, party stores, mechanic shops, donut shops, restaurants and the list goes on and on of the many different small to large businesses in the community in which we live. Its a fact that many of us will run to the big malls and large stores the majority of the time passing right by the small businesses.

I have had several small businesses in my life time. It hurts when no one

comes into your store enough to keep you in business.

Many small stores close down because they are forgotten. The small businesses in your community need your help. Yes, the Mall you might say have everything and it is easier to just go there. Well, I am here to tell you that those small business owner were there long before the malls ever came alone and we should not forget about them. Please make an effort to go and patronize the businesses in you city. Think about what you may need that you can purchase from them.

I had a shoe store many years ago and many times I would have a big smile for the people coming into my store, but on the inside I was crying out for more people to come in and not go to the big stores. My shoes were fashionable and the prices were right, but because I was in a shopping center many would pass right by me and go to the Malls. Just think about it if it were your store you would want your community to support you.

Also, pick up any small newspapers that you see placed in businesses and churches for your information. These

small newspapers have a lot of news and information about your community that a larger newspaper would not have. Large newspapers concentrate on different information than small publications.

Our communities have many non­profit agencies that offers services to our youth and senior citizens. It is a good thing to get to know what is offered in your community. I know that many of us are busy, busy, but slow down and read your community newspapers and magazines and find out what is going on in your community. Most

city have parades and other special events going on, Farmers Market and vendors available to service you.

Now, my last request is get to know a few of your neighbors, Its nice to know that if someone knows you enough that if “God forbid” you go on a months vacation and all of a sudden people are living in your house.

Your neighbors could possibly call the police and report the intruders.

By Kevin Probst I know you've heard that God is love. You've heard it hundreds of times. You've seen those three words on billboards, on bumper stickers and probably tattooed on someone's arm.

They are three of the most wonderful words available in the English language. But those three words may also reveal a distorted view of God. God is indeed love but God cannot be God if he were not also a God of wrath.

Walk the aisles of the local Bible Book Store and discover a plethora of books about how loving God is. It's a popular topic. It is a topic preachers love to preach about because it brings warm 'fuzzies' to their congregants. There are but a few books about God's wrath. Loves sells, wrath does not.

To get a balanced view of who God really is we must also admit his wrath. God has many attributes and they must all be perfectly balanced.

Many refuse to see the other side of God's love. God not only loves, he hates. He only hates one thing, sin.

His hatred for sin was expressed in a most amazing way.

That most common verse we all learned as children says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son…" but it could have very well said, "For God so hated sin that he gave his only begotten son…"

Thomas Watson said, "Is God so infinitely holy? Then see how unlike to God sin is. Sin is an unclean thing. It is called an abomination.

God has no mixture of evil in Him; sin has no mixture of good. It is the spirit in quintessence of evil, it turns good into evil, it has deflowered the virgin soul, made it red with guilt and black with filth. It is called the accursed thing. No wonder therefore

that God hates sin."

God's wrath is demonstrated throughout scripture. He revealed his wrath when he rescued the Israelites from an Egyptian culture that was saturated with idolatry and disobedience to the true God. God revealed his wrath when he decided to destroy most of mankind in the flood because of the pollution of sin.

God expressed his wrath by dropping fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah because of their vile sin.

We have little problem understanding the wrath of God and that he continually hates sin. Our problem is that we humanize God by comparing his wrath and anger to that of man. When we get angry there are elements of selfishness and pride intermingled in our passion.

When God gets angry there is no pride, there are no hurt feelings.

His anger is a response to his perfect justice. He is holy and sin is an attempt to destroy his holiness. He ceases to be holy if he doesn't get angry at sin. So, to maintain his very 'Godness' he must hate sin wholly and entirely.

The first public act of Jesus when he began his ministry in Jerusalem was to form a whip and drive the moneychangers out of the temple.

I'm sure his followers thought, "It's on, now. He'll swing that whip all the way to Rome." Jesus wasn't trying to establish himself as a leader. He wasn't trying to build a macho reputation.

Jesus was furious because God was being dishonored. It wasn't about him. It was about

defending the holiness of his Father.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) We all have sinned and we all deserve nothing less than eternal punishment in a fiery hell. John also reveals the truth about God's wrath, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." (John 3:36) "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment."

A loving and holy God reveals his love by his hatred for sin.

I rejoice every time I read in our local paper that the police have nabbed another rapist or murderer or thief. We have a jail filled with people who deserve to be there. If

they were released they would be a danger to our community. Christians will one day inhabit heaven and be very grateful that there is a hell. God reveals his love for his own children by casting those who would do us harm into an eternal prison where they will receive a just penalty for their crimes.

God protects his holy nature by giving man free will. Those who dwell in hell are there, not because of a God whose heart is full of vengeance and retribution, but because of their own decision to refuse the invitation to be adopted into the family of God. I am grateful that God hates evil because it proves so strongly his love for mankind.

One of my co­workers was

recently received bad news from his doctor. He had been diagnosed with cancer.

The doctor immediately followed the bad news with good news, "we have a cure." The bad news is that a holy God must demonstrate hatred for sin and he must display his wrath toward those who are sinful. The good news is that he has devised a cure for his own wrath. The only way to save us from the wrath of a just God was for his sinless Son to present himself a sacrifice for our sins. The ultimate penalty for sin is death. God poured out his wrath for sin on his only Son. Christ, in response to the father's love for man and his hatred for sin, died for all.

Hairstyles for Round Face Shapes ­ What Hair Styles Will Suit your Round Face Best

By Ladi Lashkari If you are like many women out there and have been gifted a round face, there are specific hairstyles for round face shapes that will make you look more beautiful.

But before we proceed to give you hairstyle ideas, here's an important question.

Are you sure you have a round face?

To make sure that you are going to get your best look with these hairstyle tips, it's important that you first make sure you have a round face.

One simple way is to put your hair into a ponytail and go in front of the mirror. Then draw the outline of your face on the mirror with a lip stick around your face.

Then step back and see what shape it is more similar to.

Here is a list of face shapes to help you see which one your face drawing is more similar to Oval, Round, Long, Heart, Square, Diamond. Another great technique to see if your face is really round is to ask other people like your friends or family members to guess your face shape. Since they will have an outsider's look, they can say more accurately.

OK, so now that you are sure you have a round face, let's see what kind of hair style will look best on you...

The best hairstyles that will look good on you are those

that add length to your face.

A long straight hair is a good idea because long hair will make your face look longer, and since it's straight it will make your head width show less.

So what if your hair is not straight and it's curly?

Then a long hairstyle will still look good on you. You may want to use a hair straightener like the popular Sedu flat iron to make your hair straight sometimes.

Another good hairstyle idea that will look perfect on round faces is a long hairstyle with curly ends because it will add width to the bottom of your face and make the width disappear.

Also an easy way to find beautiful hairstyles for round face is to see which celebrity has a round face and then search for that celebritys hairstyles pictures.

all) to escape from predators. After avoiding a predator — and this is the really remarkable part — sea cucumbers can regenerate their entire insides in a few months. Perhaps this is the clue as to why sea cucumbers may contain healthy substances that could benefit humans.

Now — back to the study. The Chicago research team investigated the effects of sea cucumber extract on growth inhibition and death in human pancreatic cells. They found that sea cucumber stopped cancer cells from spreading and activated a process that killed the cells — and this happened within five minutes of the cells being exposed to the extract! The researchers concluded that sea cucumber extract causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (cell death) in human pancreatic cells.

They recommended that, because sea cucumber extract is edible and nontoxic, it may be valuable for nutritional therapy or prevention of pancreatic cancer.

In Asia, sea cucumbers are considered a dining delicacy and are a regular part of many people's diets.

They are used in a gourmet dish called "beche­de­mer."

Another species is collected and used in a popular Japanese dish called "namako."

You can find sea cucumber extract in the form of a dietary supplement. It may be either alone or combined with other ingredients (usually in supplements promoted for joint health). The supplements contain ground, dried sea cucumber pressed into tablet form. Sea cucumbers, like all other animals, are made up of thousands of chemicals, so the exact ingredients of supplements will likely vary between products. If you are allergic to seafood, you may want to avoid sea cucumber.

Since celebrities frequently try different hairstyles, you can easily find a collection of good round face hairstyles this way. You can see which hair styles fits her face most and then try it on yourself.

But at the end, remember it's YOU and only you who decides which hairstyle you feel most comfortable in, and that it the hairstyle that will also look most beautiful on you.

If you like a hairstyle that doesn't fit the rules outlined here, it doesn't matter. Because when you like your hairstyle and feel good in it, all the rest goes away because this confidence and inner beauty will shine through your face and you will look more beautiful than ever.

Wish you the best of luck in choosing your hair style!

Sea Cucumber Inhibits Cancer Cell Growth

Researchers at the Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center in Chicago have discovered a health breakthrough in the fight against cancer, and it involves the lowly sea cucumber.

Of course, sea cucumbers are not really cucumbers at all. Sea cucumbers are actually marine animals that have a soft body with the shape and texture of a cucumber.

There are more than 1,000 species of sea cucumbers that range in size from one inch to several feet long. Sea cucumbers are found in all oceans, especially the Indian and the western Pacific.

You'll want to know a little back info about sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers don't rate high in the world of animals.

They are bottom­dwelling marine creatures that feed on organic debris on the ocean floor. Though seemingly completely unremarkable, they have developed a very interesting defense mechanism: they basically expel their entire insides (organs and

Stock Market Timing Requires A Market Based Strategy

By Jeremy Winters Many people romanticize the stock market as though it were a glamorous international casino where iron nerves and intuition make poor men into millionaires. In this version of the fairy tale, striking it rich is all about somehow figuring out what other people don't know, buying low, selling high, and then buying a yacht.

People who are new to the trading game will save themselves a lot of time and heartache if they immediately internalize one important fact: try to predict the future and you are bound to lose.

Because the stock market goes up and down based on opinion, it operates separately from any rules of

logic. Instead, the market moves because of human perception.

Because vast sums are involved, emotion comes into play and logic goes out the window. Investing your savings on a hunch is like betting it at the craps table: the house usually wins. If you need proof, think of it this way: if the market could be predicted, everyone would know exactly when to sell and when to buy, and there would be no stock market.

We have now established that the stock market is unpredictable.

Does that mean it is impossible for normal mortals to make money? The answer is no. It is possible to make gains on investments, but instead of making predictions about the

unpredictable, the smart investor will base their methods on stock market timing. The crucial point here is that instead of trying to find the next breakout stock before it bursts onto the scene, a higher rate of success will be achieved by investors who use a stock market timing strategy based on market realities.

Gambling on the stock market will usually only lead to second guessing and indigestion. A much more reliable approach is to apply a method to proven stocks like the 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. By making calculations based on past performance and automatically buying and selling when certain

criteria are met, the stressful guesswork is eliminated from the equation and risk factors drop significantly.

Nowadays, the nature of trading has changed significantly due to computers. The speed and flexibility with which data can be crunched means that automating the process has never been easier. When using computers it is possible to chart existing trends and then calculate what events will signal a change in that trend. An important note here is that not all programs are created equal and effectiveness will depend on what parameters a given program uses.

A good program will use

effective calculations to analyze real time stock market information against a predetermined set of data.

When certain indicators are discovered, the system already knows what to do. By using stock market timing as a guiding principle, annual returns are much more stable, sometimes as high as 50% or more.

Obviously, there are no guarantees, but by removing the guesswork and following a method, investors can forget the antacid tablets and rely on proven science for more reliable returns.

IRS Tax Debt Relief, Debt Settlement and Solutions – An Easy Guide!

By John carry The majority of the people have aversion to paying taxes in some way or the other. You may avoid lots of things in your life but you simply can't avoid taxes. Whether you are an average taxpayer or a celebrity, please note that back tax debt can be handled with care. The simple question is how will you make your way for IRS tax debt relief and arrive at satisfactory debt settlement solutions?

There are certain things which can help you take care of the situations you are put in. If you are looking for the right way which leads to IRS tax debt solutions, then you have to clearly decide whether you require hiring someone to handle the IRS tax debt solution for you or you are comfortable with doing it on your own. This is the first thing you need to do and arrive at an informed choice as to how you should begin the task. Once you determine it, then it will become clear how to go further.

There are certain things which can influence your decision as to whether you need to hire someone or not for your debt settlement. Suppose your debt goes over $10,000, then you should consider retaining a professional one to help you coming from the confusion you are undergoing.

So, please note that the more you owe, the more decisive it would be to have the professional to assist you complete the forms correctly.

You are well aware that the IRS interest meter always keep running and therefore, it becomes crucial to file your back tax returns if you missed it. When you start your work, make sure that you do not miss taking advantage of all possible deductions you qualify for. In case, you have already filed your return, then take help from a tax advisor who can review it properly.

You should not remain under the wrong impressions when it comes to dealing with IRS tax debt relief. Many taxpayers believe that tax debt relief can help you reduce your liability but it is not so if you think from the depth. If you are looking for the right debt solution, then you should consider a payment plan which can be requested by Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request.

Please note that the IRS has to agree to your proposed plan if you owe something less than $10,000 and your plan amounts to a full pay­off within 3 years.

However, there are less common solutions you can have, which the IRS may consider or reject.

One of such solutions is Partial Installment Plan which you may consider if you do not have other substantial alternative to go with. In case, you are wiped out financially and are not in a position to pay off the debt in 3 years, then you may request an installment plan that can add up to less than the full amount you owed.

You can also think of other alternative that is Offer in Compromise. Please remember that the IRS sometimes considers a lump sum or short term payment plan which needs to be less than the full amount owed. Many taxpayers believe that this option is not always successful but if you do not have other alternative left, then you may try this.

You know that tax debt is the result of financial problems. Unemployment, illness, accidents, divorce etc are some of the causes due to which you may experience financial problems. Whatever it may be, if you have debt to clean in hassle­free way, then you need to find out the right solutions to your problems. As you explore the internet, you may come to see many tax sites like quicktaxdebtrelief.com offering the most reliable and affordable IRS tax debt solutions and settlement.

Real­estate tips! What You Should Know Before Renting A Home Or Apartment

By Lorna Darden Searching for the right place can be a hassle, but in the end it may be well worth it, unless you fall into problems later on. Even if it is not your first time renting a place, no one is perfect and we still make mistakes, it's the same mistakes that need urgent attention. Landlords can be greedy and thoughtless and that's why it is so hard to trust who you are renting from. Many landlords have

gotten over on people and taken their money while laughing behind their backs knowing that their intentions are not good.

In order to have your own back because no one else will, you need to know how to protect yourself and your assets. Here are some important renting tips that will save you money.

Take heed to this advice As always checkout the neighborhood and make sure it is a

safe and suitable environment for you and your family. If the town you are moving in does not have good drinking water and if everything goes well with you and the owner, ask if it is ok if he or she is willing to purchase a water softener for safer drinking water. A landlord should do whatever is necessary as long as the occupant is not trying to be extreme or extravagant to keep his tenants happy, that's how his reputation

grows.

If interest in a apartment always look through it thoroughly. If repairs need to be done approach the landlord about it. If you want to occupy the place ask about security and a lease. Never sign a lease until you get ready to move into the apartment or home. Another thing to consider, checkout the landlord's background to make sure you are not doing business with a slum.

The landlord may want the security right then and there and that is ok, but don't sign the lease just yet. When giving him or her the security deposit make sure to get a receipt as proof that you paid in full or you have given half towards it. Remember don't sign a lease right now.

Once you have spotted out what needs repairing and if the owner agrees to fix them, make sure you get him to put it in writing that he agreed to fix any problems with the occupancy before moving in. This is very important because if you move in and the repairs wasn't done, you have the right to refuse the apartment or home and he will have to give you back your money.

Anticipate signing a lease, wait until the apartment is ready to be lived in, because if you sign you are responsible for any monthly rent thereafter, even if you have not moved in yet. Take this in mind, you never know what might happen and you might have to back out of the deal. This unexpected situation can cause you to lose your security deposit and owing the owner rent. The landlord has the right to keep your money because you broke your lease and he can charge you for the time wasted and spent looking for someone else to rent his property.

One more thing, if there is wear and tear in and on the property and the landlord refuses to fix it, take pictures before and after and repair it yourself. If you do this save the receipt of what you have purchased. Then after you contact the owner inform him of what you've done and you can deduct whatever you had to spend to get the repairs done out of your rent.

Take time to know what you and the property owner are responsible for.

10 Tips On Feeding Birds On A Budget

Photograh By Ryan Poplin

By Mary Fesio Knowing how to stretch your bird feeding budget in hard financial times can make life easier for wild birds and their human friends.

As hard financial times in the country make it impossible for bird lovers to feed

High Desert Group Helping Families Provide Clothing For Children Victorville, CA­It seems as though everyone is in a rush, many people forgot how to be considerate and many are just trying to get by thinking about no one but themselves.

It is nice to see that among all this there was a vision, a dream of Kid2kidcloset founder Deborah Torres. Deborah, the mother of four sons, realized that many people were having trouble just getting by and clothing for their quickly growing children was just an addition to that frustration. She knew that others were getting by just fine but had no extra income for anything else after the bills were paid. That is when she and a friend decided to make the Kid2KidCloset dream a reality.

It did not start off large in April of 2009 when the clothing was limited and they were using tire boxes for storage but now the response is overwhelming and the clothes are overflowing! “My ultimate goal is to become a non­profit organization. At this time, since we are not for profit and no money exchanges hands we are not yet able to afford that financially.”, said Deborah. To see the outpouring of mother to mother support in the group was amazing, if someone needs, someone is likely to come forward with the item needed.

“I am so proud to be a part of this great community and being a part of the "solutions" not the problems.” said Cheryl Sislo a member and dedicated helper for K2K. Kid2KidCloset is located in the High Desert but will take members from all areas as long as they are willing to take the drive. “I don't think they have to be in desperate need of clothes. I mean, if it helps save some money they can put toward college fund. I am fine with that” said Deborah, Kid2KidCloset is always happy to accept kids clothing donations, 18 gallon totes with lids (Sterelite, Rubbermaid etc.) and will even find homes that could use your unneeded larger baby items.

Kid2KidCloset needs the help of the community in order to grow to help even a larger amount of families.

Kid2KidCloset is on Facebook, Yahoo Groups and you could get more details at: www.kid2kidcloset.com or email Deborah Torres at: debtorres@kid2kidcloset.com

their feathered friends the way they used to, there are some things bird lovers can do to continue to care for their feathered friends and still survive economically. Here are a few good tips:

Shop around—Just as shopping around helps to stretch the human home budget, it also helps to stretch the budget for wild bird feeding.

Check flyers from farm supply companies, pet stores and landscaping companies for the best deals and stock up when the price is right. Online dealers may offer more competitive prices but you must, also, keep in mind shipping and handling fees when calculating the best deal.

Buy in bulk—Generally, large sized packaging yields a better price per pound and it, also, means that you will be running out of supply less frequently.

Offer a better quality bird seed—Although a better quality bird seed may be more expensive it may be a better value because less of the bag is made up of filler seed that birds will not eat. Offering a choice of bird seed that is, specifically, intended for birds in your area will insure that less food is wasted.

Grow a garden full of bird seed—Bird seed is very easy to grow

and will attract more birds than seeds in feeders. An extra bonus from this activity is that bird feeders will not need to be filled since the birds will, gladly, eat straight from the plants.

Offer alternatives to seeds—Birds eat more than seed. Try offering your aviary visitors bread scraps, chopped fruit, nectar and other types of food as an alternative to expensive seed.

This activity may surprise you with a whole new different bunch of species paying you visits.

Refill feeders less frequently—Birds are notorious for spilling seeds.

Waiting a few days before filling the feeders encourages them to feed off the ground saving money on bird seed and giving less maintenance for the owner of the yard.

Choose feeders that are efficient—If you watch your bird feeders for a few days, you may find that you are feeding other creatures besides birds.

Deer, raccoons, squirrels and other wildlife often treat themselves to food meant for birds. You can discourage

these creatures by buying feeders with smaller openings and built in cages to discourage these raiders.

Don't purchase poisons—Many wild birds are very happy to munch on flies, spiders and other insects.

Withholding pesticides will save money on for lawn and flower bed maintenance and enables birds to take advantage of this natural food.

Make your own bird food—Commercial seed mixes and suet are, usually, more expensive than buying the raw material. Buying the seed that is enjoyed by the specific species you are trying to entice will make the food go farther for less.

Remove several feeders—You can save money by removing some feeders and replacing them with bird­ friendly bushes, nesting boxes, brush pile and bird baths that will still attract birds without the cost of feeding them. Birds will, still, enjoy coming to a friendly habitat.

Disadvantages of Home Schooling

Photograph By

By Kris Koonar If you are concerned about the education your child is receiving at either a public or private school, you may have

considered the option of home schooling. There are many advantages to home schooling that are easy to think of, but in making your

decision you must also consider the disadvantages.

Yes, despite all the bonuses you can think of in home schooling your child, there

are many disadvantages to the process.

Home schooling is a process that requires a massive amount of time and dedication. If you want to home school your child you must be present for a large part of the day. Kids are kids.

Depending on how motivated by academic success your child is, he or she may not require constant supervision. However, in many studies, parental supervision is the key behind the success of home schooling programs.

Parents must also possess instructional skills or access to someone who can teach effectively. Simply putting your child in a room with textbooks will most likely result in home schooling failure.

In addition, you will have to purchase materials that public and private schools provide for students.

There is also the need to be able to serve as guidance counselor as your child may require specialized instruction due to a learning disability. Public and private schools usually provide these services with qualified individuals.

One important benefit of an academic institution is the opportunity for children to become properly socialized. Attending school with other children from all walks of life leads to the development of social skills.

One of the disadvantages of home schooling is the relative isolation children have from their peers.

Many parents find comfort in blaming the educational system for the shortcomings in their child's academic performance. If you choose to home school you will be accepting full responsibility for the outcome of your child's education. This is more of a burden than it seems.

Studies have shown that many home schooling ventures fail due to the fact that the home generally lacks qualified educators.

Many parents have gripes about teachers, but the fact is that they generally have to teach large classes filled with children with diverse learning needs. In addition, certified educators have taken teaching classes and have passed state examinations to receive their teaching certificates.

When you approach the issue of home schooling you must examine both sides. Sure, there are plenty of advantages, but if you forget to look into the disadvantages, you may be setting yourself up for failure.
