Karaoke Nights - Picking Out The Right Song To Sing

By Nellie Hasburn

The heaviest determination that anyone has to make for karaoke is what song they should attempt on stage. There are literally hundred of thousands of tracks obtainable with most karaoke sets, so it can be demoralizing searching through the massive book of songs, but if you keep in mind a few tips it will make your night easier, and render as much pleasure as possible.

First, it is noteworthy to only choose songs that you can sing well and befits your vocals. Whether it is your 1st time or 101st time, you have to make sure that you can attain at least majority of the tones you need. If you have a low voice, there is no point of choosing artists like Celine Dion or Whitney Houston, and the same goes for high-pitch voices; Barry White should be out of the question. Alternatively choose karaoke tracks that fit within your vocal range, and that way rather of concerning about if you can hit that powerful note coming up, you will be able to loosen and just enjoy the song.

Choosing the proper karaoke song also depends on what you are getting up stage for. If you are with acquaintances, and looking at getting up as a group for a bit of fun, it is wise to choose an up-tempo song that fits your mood instead of a weak ballad. If you are a regular, and want to take something a bit more challenging, there is nothing incorrect in choosing a slower song if you can address it.

If you're celebrating an adult / older folks birthday with a karaoke party. You require to recognize what songs to select. Do your preparation. You don't want to take any old karaoke song; you want to pick out karaoke music that invokes a sensation of nostalgia. Determine what songs were hot when the party honoree grew up. Your better bet is to discover the top 10 songs of each year or decade and establish your play list round those songs.

But a small tip to remember about most karaoke bars is that most individuals are out to have a great time, so picking out a slow and sombre song that does not really fit the ambiance of the room can have sharp outcomes.

Ultimately, when selecting your karaoke track it is better to find a song with a melody and words that you are at least familiar with. You do not have to recognise every song you get up stage for off by heart (thats why the TVs are there to help you) but choosing a karaoke song that you have heard more than once or twice will give you a bit more confidence in singing on stage.

What's Next with the Markets? Volatility Will Show the Way

By D. R. Barton, Jr.

It would be hard to imagine a more interesting and chaotic time in the financial markets.

We're seeing stock market characteristics (daily ranges, reversal patterns, etc.) that are literally unprecedented. The volatility (as measured by Average True Range or ATR) of almost every major trading instrument is at all time highs. It doesn't matter if you're looking at stock indexes, bonds, oil, gold, currencies, etc. It seems that the only broad groups of instruments not trading at their highest volatilities ever are the smaller commodities that don't have big hedge fund and institutional interest- things like coffee and orange juice.

This volatility expansion is significant for several reasons:

It is broad-reaching. As mentioned above, it is hitting practically every traded instrument.

It is persistent. The markets are no strangers to volatility spikes. We see them come and go when particularly juicy reasons for fear or greed enter the markets. But this volatility explosion has not subsided. Depending on how you measure "persistence"; the volatility "spike" has lasted four to six weeks, not just for a few days.

It is huge. Back in April of 2000, we made the previous volatility highs when the Internet bubble started to collapse. Then volatility (as measured by 14 day ATR) was 3.0% of price. Last Wednesday, this same ratio showed ATR at an astonishing 8.3% of price!!

To punctuate the truly wild nature of the recent market volatility-here's an interesting market tidbit: today is a "Fed Day" (FOMC meeting announcement) and after dropping both key rates by 50 basis points, it looks like the market will have a day within only 2/3rds of its recent range!

The market is giving us some really important information through this language of high volatility. The message is this: the uncertainty of where the markets are heading next has never been higher. With the slightest whiff of negative news, the market free falls. When even a shimmer of hope comes along (like the Fed strongly hinting that the rate cut was real yesterday, sending the markets up 10%), the markets jump through the roof.

It's like a cat on a hot tin roof... after drinking a can of Red Bull. Every move is over exaggerated.

One of the questions that I get most often is, "when will the stock market return to some sense of normalcy?" It is hard to predict this, of course. But one key indicator will be when the volatility settles way down from its current unprecedented highs. It's okay if the market is directional; I don't think we'll see a traditional basing / consolidation period from here. But what IS needed is a sense that the markets don't jump every time someone whispers, "Boo". And a volatility contraction will be a good (and maybe the best) indication that this is happening.

The Truth About Online Adult Education That Only Few People Know

By Don Pedro

Though many matured people are interested in adult education, the main problem for them is that they hardly have the time to attend the classes. This is because of the busy schedule they maintain in their various offices.If they enroll in any of the program, they won't have the time to complete the assignment and consequently won't complete the entire programme according to schedule.

But the story changes when the classes are done through the world wide web. The online adult education is the internet version of the physical adult education.In the former, you attend all your classes online, in the comfort of your room or office while the latter entails you attending the classes in person.Though many people out there still remark that the online version is nothing to be compared to the traditional version. The appropriate question to ask therefore is whether there is enough time for you to attend the classes in person.

There are many colleges and universities offering adult education online.As stated before, the only prerequisite is that you are mature, probably working and obviously can read and write.Their requirements are not as strict as when you want to obtain a bachelor degree or master degree certificate. However, you must be informed that not all the institutions offering adult education online is genuine.

Also, I must insist that you run away from all the mails in your email box talking about adult education. My investigation has shown that genuine online institutions don't send out unsolicited mails to millions of people. please get rid of them quickly form your Inbox. This is the action I normally take as I know they are not genuine. The mail is only sent to you after you request for more information form their website.

It is through searching the internet that you can get reputable online institutions offering adult education. Take your time and go through some of the returned web pages.What you should be concerned with is the accreditation status of the institutions.If it's not accredited, don't attend.

Furthermore, I will advise you to run away from any institutions offering you free online adult education certificates.These type of institutions are not out to help you.You will never gain anything by getting free certificates.Many employers of labor out there are informed about the fake certificates many of these institutions are churning out daily. They know which prospective employee is having the right certificate. So, it is advisable to run away from free certificates.

Diet Nutrition and Quick Weight Loss

By Christine G. Shannon

As part of a weight loss plan, many people may try to figure out diet nutrition by thinking they eat too many sweets, or drink too much alcohol, or not enough fruit and vegetables, but they really have no idea how many calories they take in or know anything about diet nutrition. These people may sometimes look at weight loss supplements, as something they can add to their diet, that will take off weight, or curb their cravings.

A lot of people think that diet nutrition is about consuming fewer calories and that is the key to weight loss. However, it also depends on the type of calories consumed because the metabolism uses some calories as fat and uses fat burning on others for energy. A lot of people try to make up their own diet plan, not knowing anything about diet nutrition, and they do not know which foods to eliminate, limit or increase in their diet plan.

One option that many people look at when they want to lose weight are protein or fiber supplements. Of course, when people simply add them to the food that they eat without changing their eating habits at all, this will not actually result in weight loss.

Weight loss supplements can cause you to gain weight if you are not taking onboard the type of diet nutrition your body needs to metabolize. It will just keep the nutrition in storage for later use. Some people take a glass of milk or juice with their weight loss supplement which is adding calories. Alternatively others keep eating the same food and have the glass of milk or juice as an extra. This is obviously just adding calories which will not lead to any weight loss. Your metabolism changes every few days and if you go into starvation mode by drastically cutting calories, your body will hold on to as much fat as possible and keep it in storage.

The key to diet nutrition and weight loss supplements is that you continue to give your body a good balance of fat burning calories, as well as nutritional calories, in the right portions and at regular intervals to keep the metabolism burning calories at a faster rate than it had been.

Remember that when you alternate different kinds of food that you can actually trick your brain into believing that it should be burning more calories and not hanging on to it for storage. You will also find that you should think about making taking the time to really make sure that you know what is going on with your body; this process takes some time before you will get used to figuring out what foods you can eat and when you should eat them.

When you are looking to add protein to your diet, you will find that this is a great time to include a weight loss supplement that will let you build muscle and burn fat more quickly. You are going to find that you need to combine good supplements with foods that will burn off calories and encourage weight loss.

When you are trying to understand good diet nutrition and trying to figure out what weight loss supplements can do for you, you'll find that one of the best things that you can do is to consult with someone who is well-versed in diet nutrition. They can help you figure out what kind of portions you need to eat, when you should eat them, and how to make sure that you are going about your weight loss in the most effective way possible. This is a great way to make sure that you are getting the results that you need, so make sure that you check out FatLoss4Idiots at the link below as soon as you can!

ETO Companies Thrive Through Meeting Customer Demands

By Chuck R Stewart

In todays environment of more engineer-to-order philosophies, companies are looking for manufacturing methods that are unique and that will allow for level of differentiation from their closest competitors to allow them to enjoy sustained margins. The topics challenging even the best of engineer to order companies lie in the areas of estimating, purchasing, building, testing, shipping, on-site tryout and debug and then final commissioning. These complex manufacturers need help to stay competitive over a sustained period of time. The modern technology offered by the best erp software providers and their legions of consulting resources continually comes back to the following key areas listed below.

Invest in new technology. While many ETO companies do not think twice about spending $250,000 on new equipment to make their plant more efficient, they balk at spending the same amount on ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software that will have a much more dramatic bottom-line impact than a single machine tool. The areas of technology are not only focused on costing and accounting systems, and includes CAD, project management, PLM, and Configuration software. The companies who view spending money on infrastructure as a competitive advantage typically outperform companies who elect to not spend the capital on further developing their infrastructure.

Focus on niche markets. Trying to compete without differentiation with a "commodity" machine builder is futile. Focusing on engineering a solution based on client needs creates product and industry sector distinction. Typically, the larger, more expensive machines need more services and support and generate an alternative revenue stream. That revenue stream can become the most profitable portion of their company as they require well trained technicians to service the complex equipment.

Lean thinking throughout the whole organization. Lean manufacturing cuts costs and inventories rapidly to free cash and resources, which is critical in a competitive world economy. Lean supports profitable growth by improving productivity and quality, reducing lead times, and freeing resources. For example, it frees office and plant space and increases capacity so companies can add product lines, in-source component production, and increase output of existing products. ETO manufacturers that begin to leverage lean concepts can enjoy gains of renewed economic growth by increasing sales while controlling costs.

New markets. Most ETO machine tool companies are small family-owned businesses that have traditionally relied exclusively or predominantly on the domestic market. Quite a bit of potential growth exists in overseas markets for ETO manufacturers. Even domestically, ETO manufacturers are finding alternative opportunities among smaller factories that require automation equipment. The more quick to adapt modern ETO companies are able to better adapt to the changes requested of their customers in a shorter amount of time, allowing them to take advantage of technology shifts long before their larger competitors have a feel for the change required.

Company executives often complain about the challenges of operating an ETO manufacturing business: too much regulation, the cost of health care, unfair competition from overseas. Waiting for the government to do something about these issues, these small, often privately owned companies will go out business and many have already vanished from the landscape. The ETO manufacturers that are going to survive are implementing some of the strategies described above. Truly lean and progressive engineer to order firms will always thrive, even during difficult economic times.

How to Have a Stunning Wedding and Honeymoon

By Johnathan Bakers

Stunning honeymoon destinations do not have to cost an arm and a leg, and as a matter of fact, if you are able to wisely budget and plan ahead, you may be able to still pay the gradually increased costs related to a memorable wedding and afford a wonderful honeymoon! The current trend is a sad one: many a couple must choose between having a fun filled receptions with all of their friends and family present, or instead skimp on the reception and perhaps not invite as many people, but therefore be able to afford at least a weekend getaway for their first few days as a married couple.

Even as stunning weddings are an important aspect of a couple's new life together, it is the importance of honeymoon destinations as memory builders which cannot be stressed sufficiently! While a nice party with all the trappings is fun and would be nice to have, the fact that the memories you make together during the honeymoon will help to bond you together is of vital importance cannot be denied. Once life returns to being business as usual, you will need these joint memories to help you make it through the rough spots.

Any honeymoon trip begins with a budget. It is advisable to set your budget for the wedding, reception and honeymoon, and not pilfer any of them in favor of the other two. Some couples promise themselves to take a honeymoon later, when there is enough money. Remember that later never comes, since it gets swallowed up by the need to buy a car, replace a television set, or simply buy the little odds and ends that make life so much more comfortable. Do not allow your quest for the perfect wedding dress or cake to drain your honeymoon budget!

If you are working with tight budget, you will most likely want to consider staying local and not have your honeymoon budget drained by just the airfare. Investigate the cost of car rentals or train rides to get to your destination. Make the way to the location part of the experience by plotting the itinerary to allow for plenty of little side trips to other locales for sightseeing, eating at a highly recommended restaurant, or simply visiting a local point of interest. This will give you more money with which to buy those gold wedding rings.

If you have friends who own vacation homes or time shares, this might be a great way to spend money on the accommodations as well - assuming they are willing to lend you the keys! If you must pay for your hotel room, remember that five stars might shine bright in the night, but a lovely bed and breakfast without them will do just as nicely! Many times the service at the latter is much better than at a big hotel anyways!

Mapping the Interiors: Interior Design

By Herbert Reich

One of the most fascinating, and often least understood, professions is that of the interior designer. The biggest misconception about interior design is that it is akin to interior decorating. Interior decorating is what everyone does when moving into a new place, or just tearing the living room apart to give it a new feel. Interior decorating is all about the arrangement of what is in the room. Interior design, on the other hand, is about the room itself, as well as what is in it.

In their fullest scope, an interior designer is the architect's partner. While the architect designs the house and it's exterior to be functional, meet building codes, and fit a certain aesthetic, the interior designer focuses on the inside of the house, the small touches like an arched doorway between the kitchen and dining room, the style of molding at the base of the wall, matching the flooring, the walls, and the window designs, and all the things that create the aesthetic of the room itself. Interior designers then frequently go on to add all the furniture, the decorations and small touches that an interior decorator would focus on exclusively. Sometimes an interior designer is literally partner to an architect, hired when a building is first being built. More often they need to adapt to an existing structure.

Especially when adapting an existing structure, the most important qualities an interior designer can have are creativity and a strong aesthetic sense. It is the interior designer's job to take the desires of the client, and the requirements of the space, and combine them both, while keeping in mind 'minor' issues like building codes, condo regulations, and basic common sense. In the end, a good interior designer will create a space that is unique, comfortable, meets the client's needs and preferences, and is esthetically beautiful.

A tremendous challenge for any interior designer is dealing with a client who doesn't know exactly what they want. It is then up to the designer to get to know the client, and find a way to design a room suited to the client's personality and lifestyle with minimal or confusing input from the client. Communication with the client is crucial, and most clients get unhappy if a design ignores or goes against a request. However, an interior designer needs to know when to do exactly that, and to explain it in a way the client will accept, if the clients request, whether for reasons of codes, aesthetics, or common sense, simply will not work.

Though creativity is essential for interior designers, they must also work well with, and thoroughly understand, people. An elitist attitude is fine, especially if the interior designer does superior work, but a person who can't understand clients and their needs does not belong in this field. Anyone who is interested in learning more about interior design, whether to start personalizing your own space, or as a career choice, can find plenty of interior design courses, to help get them started.

The Best Hammer Buying Guide

By Linden Walhard

The hammer is actually one of the simplest items which will be in your tool kit, it only really consists of a handle and a head. However there are many different choices in terms of size, style, and uses. So which type of hammer do you need for basic home repairs?

There are quite a few tools which are known as hammers, many of these are only used for specialist tasks. These hammers include mallets which are used for woodworking. Ball peen hammers for metalwork, and more specialist hammers such as sledgehammers or roofers hammers.

I'm assuming that you just want to use a hammer to drive nails into a wall, and maybe even break things up. There are some common types of hammer which we will discuss in more detail now.

What is it made out of?

Many hammer heads have a metal striking surface.

The handle allows a firm grip and extends the arc of your swing which allows you to increase the speed and force of the strike. This handle also allows some form of shock absorbance. The cheapest forms of hammer have wooden handles. Wooden handles do offer some degree of shock absorption, however you will probably have to replace these at some time in the future. Wooden handles can also become damaged fairly easily if you hit it against a hard surface by accident.

You can also have handles made out of metal, these are very durable and will be long lasting. Metal hammers do not offer much shock absorption, and so many of these have cushioned grips.

Another type of handle which you may want to consider is a fiberglass handle. These offer the best of both worlds, they are able to absorb shocks and they are ridged and durable. Fiberglass hammers are also suitable for use by electricians.

What about the weight?

You should think about the weight when choosing a hammer, the most popular weights are between 455 and 680g. The weight of the hammer will vary the force you can get behind the hammer. This makes different weights of hammer suitable for different purposes. A 12oz hammer is used for driving in small tacks and nails, while a 20oz hammer can drive in much bigger nails.

Choose the type of head

Most hammers have a flat striking surface on one side of the hammer, and the other has a peen. There are a number of different designs of peen, the most common is a claw hammer.

Deciding which hammer is best

You should start by deciding what the hammer should be used for, but you should also pay special attention to how the hammer feels when you hold it.

Once you have decided on the weight, type of hammer and style you should start swinging them and see how they feel in your hand. If possible try hitting something with it, so that you can see how it absorbs the shocks.

Handle your hammer like a pro

Once you've brought a hammer you should practice using it. There are a few pointers which you need to consider.

Always make sure you use the right hammer for the job, otherwise it could result in considerable damage.

If you notice that the hammer slips off the nails then you could use some sandpaper to roughen the nail.

Check that the steel wedges which are used to fix the hammer head onto the handle are fixed in tightly. Wooden handles can shrink if it's dry. If the head becomes loose then soak it in water overnight for it to tighten.

hair stylings tip for fine hair

By Stephen Lambbert

If you have fine or thinning hair you might feel it is difficult to find a hair style that suits you. A trip to a barber or hairdresser can be a source of distress.

It is important that you can discuss your fine or thinning hair and the style you want with the person cutting it and not feel any embarrassment or distress.

For men, the most sensible and easiest style is a short, clean cut. One of the worst mistakes a guy can make with thinning or fine hair is to grow it long, spike it or jell it. These accentuate the thinning hair and draw attention to it.

And in no circumstances attempt the dreaded 'comb over' by growing your hair at the sides and the back long and combing over the fine or receding areas.

This will almost definitely bring unwanted attention and highlight what you are trying to conceal.

Dyeing the hair lighter will nearly always help by reducing level of contrast between the hair and scalp. Of course, if you have a darker scalp then a darker colour would be better.

There are also a vast range of thickening shampoos and conditioners that add volume to the hair and are less likely to break and damage the already weakened follicle.

It is also advisable not to let fine or thinning hair get too greasy.

For women, chin length cuts are recommended by most stylists. Again, attention and emphasis will be on the features, face and neck, rather than the hair.

As is similar for men, hair that is too long will make the hair appear weaker and thinner than it actually is.. Curling irons and straighteners should be avoided as they can seriously damage hair.

A shortish 'bobb' type cut with the hair brushed behind the ears is of the trendiest current looks and can do wonders to add volume to hair, especially if the hair is layered correctly at the back.

Extensions are an absolute no-no and will add stress to an already weakened hair follicle. As distressing as fine and thinning hair can be there are different styles that can benefit you.

Concerns with Macro Digital Photography

By Dan Feildman

Life can revolve around what point of view we might take. Taking a simple object and viewing it fresh, from a different perspective can create an amazing new outlook on the everyday with only a change of focus or angle. Digital macro photography can help to change the outlook of the viewer with its new spin on the seemingly ordinary.

Digital macro photography in itself is an art form. It takes an artist's eye to take the everyday, little things and redefine them in a way that captivates the viewer. An artist can through skill and imagination, transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. The artwork produced conveys emotion and reflects the feelings and views that originate only in the mind of the creator. Viewing an art piece such as digital macro photography, gives us the chance to share the world that the photographer sees from behind the lens of the camera.

Another thing about digital macro photography you should know is that it is not easy. You need to consider a lot of factors in order to produce great photographs. What are these factors?

This includes the ability to see those fragments of beauty within the world that would be shared with those that would view your work. You also need technical skills such as a steady hand. When taking digital macro photographs, even hardly perceptible movements of the hand can spoil your picture.

You need to have the skills to use a camera properly. You need to be able to adjust the camera in order to take the picture that you truly want to appear. Sure, you can actually edit a digital macro photograph using the computer, but why should you give yourself more work than necessary?

There are those people have the essential skills naturally. However, no matter where your level of talent should lie, it can always be improved upon by attending photography workshops or classes. The foundation of digital macro photography is all about presenting things in different ways.

2) Equipment - The proper tools are essential in expressing your ability. They can make the difference in reaching and expressing the effect you wanted. There are tools available today that claim to be suitable for any type of photography, but you should try to find equipment that is specifically designed for digital macro photography.

The best subjects of digital macro photography are those that open a door to a new world from the everyday. So keep in mind the power of your photography subject.

Why I Work How I Want And When I want.

By Mr Webbyfied

I really couldn't shut my brain off today. I just couldn't stop thinking.

"What motivated me to work online?"

How did I come to the decision that I was going to do this?

What drove me from earning over $6k a month as a personal trainer, a single father with a 1 year old son, to deciding that I was going to be successful in this world of 1s and 0s (that's internet speak for you non-nerds)?

What was that motivation for working online...it must have been lunacy.

Clearly.

Actually, I realized I was exhausted.

I hadn't had a good night's sleep that I could remember in the longest while.

I got sick of the 5am training sessions that, although enjoyable due to my very select clientele ( fortunately I loved the people I trained like family), drained me of the little energy I did have to better MYSELF!

I could not train in a sport that I loved passionately and was focused on pursuing because it was always time or money.

Never quite enough of either.

I had to sleep in my car.

I had to spend more time in the gym due to my stretched out schedule than I did at home.

People called me a gym rat and it stung, because I felt like a slave.

When I could see my son, I was miserable. I loved being with him, but the fact that he had already taken his first steps without me, and cried for his mother when he was cranky broke my heart.

That was it.

I informed my clients that I was finished with training. I only had a few weeks left and that was it.

What was bound to happen was going to happen, but I was determined to see my child grow up.

Fear lost its hold on me.

People told me I was nuts, and I could see how badly they expected me to fail, but that's the nature of a human being.

I didn't expect any less from them.

Thankfully, I've always believed in myself when nobody else had, so I kept pushing.

As a young, little, chubby kid, I learned that giving into bullies remarks doesn't help. It just makes you want to eat more pie.

I did listen to the very few individuals that told me to keep going. To, "See what happens." One of those friends is an individual that started off selling hosting from his apartment, and turned it into a million dollar a year business. His black card was all the proof I needed that this was possible.

I definitely had less energy for that first month.

Yeah, it was rough.

And, I had to see my son less.

After that first sale though, that first day, I realized that this was real.

I got past the biggest obstacle in any real online business.

My own mind.

Making money was now a tangible thing. I had something I could spend.

It was real, and I knew I was doing what I was supposed to do.

In the end, it's two years later and I'm making a couple years worth of salary spending half the energy.

I still work just as hard as ever, but only after a night's sleep, and only because I want to.

So, what is my motivation for working online?

My motivation for working online is myself, and it should be the same for you.

It wasn't anything on the outside that caused me to decide that I had had enough.

Nothing was different. Things were as boring and exhausting as ever.

What changed was the way I saw myself, and my potential.

I thought about how many people told me I couldn't, and decided to tell them otherwise.

I was in charge of my life, and I would fail or succeed on my own terms.

Although, I proved the naysayers incorrect on their terms as well.

Check out a book titled "The New Psycho-Cybernetics."

I have both the book and the DVD set, but it doesn't matter which you pick up. Hell, get them both if you want.

I've read everything, or close to, and this book is the forefather, and the best, of all of the material I've read. I promise it will inspire you if I haven't already.

Even if you don't get it, take what you can from my example, and remember to believe in yourself ESPECIALLY when no one else does.

You're the only thing you know about for sure anyway.

So, until next time, keep the pie off your face.

Protect Your Investment with Piano Bench Cushions

By Chuck R Stewart

Choosing the right piano bench cushion is very simple. It can add flare to any music room. Piano benches by themselves can be a hard surface to sit on. Using piano bench cushions can add support by giving the piano player a more comfortable place to sit. A player will naturally play longer. Have fun with choosing a piano bench cushion. The only tough decision will be deciding how many you want to have.

When choosing there are a lot of different styles and patterns to choose from. Many designs will let your friends know what type of music lover that you are. My father had two passions in life, one was playing piano and the other was playing golf. He loved them both equally. His piano bench cover had a golf design. It was a gift from our family and it became quite a talking piece in our family room. It match very well in the room. My Dad would always play the piano any chance he could. Take time to pick out your own cushion. I know that a person can also find a style that matches their own likes and personality.

Another good reason to have a piano bench cover is to raise the height of a little child. Many younger players can develop bad habits when they are younger because of the larger size of the piano. Piano bench covers come in different sizes of thickness. A thicker bench cover will raise the young piano player to the correct height giving the player the advantage of having his or her arms and hands in the proper alignment, making it easier to play.

A lot of times I have heard people wanting to replace an unsightly piano bench for several different reasons. Piano benches made of wood can be easily damaged by age, humans, or even pets. A person will want to replace an ugly bench as it can detract from the piano.

A lower cost solution would be to purchase a piano bench cover. Just by simply adding the cover it can add to the look of the piano. Having a piano is a long term investment. If a persons decorating mood changes it is also inexpensive and simple to change the piano cover. There are several different sizes and colors to choose from. Pick your favorite design.

A very comfortable setting is best. A comfortable setting will help a person play longer, just as a runner or walker will walk farther if they are wearing a comfortable pair of shoes. I have spoke to many piano players and they agree that they will play better and longer being comfortable using a piano bench cover. There are several great reasons to buy a piano bench cover. For people who love a customized, personalized look a piano bench cover can come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, sizes and designs. A person will not go wrong by adding a piano bench cover.

IVF vs. Tubal Reversal - How to Decide

By Sandra Wilson

Many women who have had a tubal ligation have been told it is a permanent form of birth control. When they change their minds about wanting another child, their doctors usually counsel having an in vitro fertilization or IVF. What these women usually don't know is that tying their tubes can be reversed with an operation. So you are left wanting to know about IVF vs. tubal reversal and which is best.

A tubal reversal is a micro-surgical technique of repairing the fallopian tubes where they were cut. The preparation is minimal for the surgery including some review of your tubal ligation operative records. If you have a BMI greater than 30, it is suggested you get it down for your own surgical safety. You can check out this page to determine your BMI if you need to: www.tubal-reversal.net/body-mass-index-bmi.php

Now let's look at IVF in comparison. There are a lot of drugs that you have to get in order to stimulate your body's egg production and also to keep it from going into ovulation prematurely. You will need to go to your doctor daily for a few days to receive each shot at the right time. Most require a few visits to complete the course for the drug. This is just the preparation part.

Seems like it should be time to remove the eggs, right? Well...you get another injection before ovulation is due. And your doctor will have to monitor you to be able to grab the eggs at the right time. He or she will do this with a needle. This is painful as you can learn by reading a few of the forums available on the topic of IVF.

Finally, you will have to wait for a few days while the fertilization process goes on in the lab after which you come back for the implantation. Usually you will get more than one fertilized egg implanted. You will be at risk for a multiple birth if everything works right but more eggs will increase your chances of a resultant pregnancy. And you will get more shots.

This is when you hold your breath hoping everything will go OK. Of course,this will depend upon things like how skilled your doctor is and how careful he was in implanting the embryos among other things. If it doesn't work there are always those embryos you had frozen, if you did. And you get to go through all the shots and preparing your body again. Some of those may not happen if you do choose frozen over another fresh cycle. All this hyper stimulation and such could have some adverse affects on both you and your child, if successful. Be sure to check out the Internet and learn about the potential risks of IVF.

Add to all of the above the success rates of each individual course of treatments. Depending upon where you look it is from a 10 - 30% chance you will get pregnant. Higher percentages for more embryos being implanted.

Now compare all that and all the things left out of this article due to space limitations and you will see that having a tubal reversal could be a much better option. The success rates for tubal reversal can vary depending upon your chosen surgeon. This makes choosing the best tubal reversal doctor and center a matter of utmost importance. At the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center where they publish their specific pregnancy rates after a tubal reversal, you will see that it is an overall 69%. Your potential success rate will depend upon several things including your age, tube length left and type of ligation procedure used. The good news is that once the surgery is done, you get to try over and over again to "make a baby" without having to pay any more money.

Finally is the cost comparison. A cycle of IVF is averaging $10,000 to $12,000 in the U.S. It can be as high as $20,000 though that goes for tubal reversals as well. However, chances are you will undergo more than one cycle of IVF. Doctors say to expect an average of three cycles. Add it up yourself. Now a tubal reversal will average $8,000 to $9,000 with some doctors charging much more. But you don't have to undergo an average of three tubal reversals to get the job done. Taking this into account along with all the above and you can truly see the best answer in IVF vs. tubal reversal.

Colored And Normal Contact Lenses - Not Mere Fashion Accessories

By Amy Nutt

Can looks kill? Well we don't know about that, but a pair of piercing eyes certainly can! The eyes once called the 'windows to the human soul' have since become the tool to present a whole new you. Your eyes are the most noticeable facial feature and can enhance your personality when projected the right way. Depending upon perception and cultural setting, the color of the eyes may reflect a person's traits too. For example, dark intense eyes are purported to be the associated with seers, soothsayers and even criminals. Blue eyes are synonymous with royalty and have a certain sex appeal. Brown eyes are apparently 'dreamy' and romantic, while green eyes are believed to suggest feline qualities. The hold of the color of eyes on the human psyche is for real; no wonder people go to great lengths to showcase them, mold them modify them.

Enter the era of contact lenses - visual add-ons that serve dual roles, that of visual correction as well as a beauty aid. Normal lenses are usually used for therapeutic purposes as a substitute for glasses. These colorless eye lenses are manufactured with an ophthalmic value and have the requisite magnification number as recommended by the ophthalmologist. The lenses are transparent and preserve your true eye color. For those seeking colored eyes there are in fact a host of choices. Colored contact lenses are usually favored by those looking to mold their natural looks with a pair of arresting eyes. There exist a range of colored lenses to add to your aesthetic appeal. The fun with colored lenses mean that they can be worn by almost anyone, as long as you take your overall persona into consideration. Present the right image by opting for the appropriate eye color depending upon the occasion. Try wearing a subtle shade for an afternoon engagement and a bold striking pair for an evening out.

The common variety of colored eye lenses is opaque and tinted variety. Opaque lenses do not allow the original eye color to be seen and are used by those who want to conceal their original eye color. Tinted colored lenses allow the original eye color to be seen and are used by people who wish to enhance the original color of their eyes. Colored lenses also have an added advantage over normal lenses in that they have inbuilt UV protection. This helps protect your precious pair from harsh sunlight. If you wear prescription lenses but wish to enchant your audience with a pair of distinctive colored lenses, try colored contacts that have the corrective properties. These dual lenses have the magnification factor desired inbuilt. Ensure however that you don't compromise on quality over cost; combining the color and magnification requires a high degree of industrial precision and this makes the high-quality colored lenses rather pricey.

The cheaper ones may even cause blurring of vision due to the color introduced by substandard manufacturing processes. And the engineering difficulties involved mean that very high magnifications cannot be introduced into colored lenses. While this may seem like bad news for those with much weaker eyes, you know that you are getting the best out of your normal transparent lens where the corrective power is well retained.

Finally, whether you are looking for the most popular contact lenses, or a pair to enhance your looks, the market provides a dazzling array - just pick the pair for you and be your own fashion icon!

Products and Lotions for Adult Massage

By Amy Nutt

There are several different lotions, gels, oils and other products in the market that are intended for use during adult massage. Many of these products can be purchased at retail locations or over the internet. Purchasing products and lotions for adult massage over the internet offers a degree of privacy that walking into a store location simply cannot. Below is an overview of some of the different items that are widely used for sensual massage.

Adult Massage Lotions

There are several different types of massage lotions that are used for sensual massage. Scented lotions come in a wide array of fragrances. You can choose from lotions with sweet scents, spicy scents, scents that are based on designer perfumes or colognes, or scents that are based on favorite edible delights. Some scented adult massage lotions claim to have aroma therapeutic properties or even aphrodisiac effects. Adult massage lotions also come in a wide variety of consistencies and textures. There are massage lotions that are smooth, silky and liquidy, while yet others are firmer and have a creamier texture. Some adult massage lotions can feel oily and greasy to the touch, while others virtually disappear into the skin. It will take some time and trial and error before you figure out exactly what your preference is.

Adult Massage Oils

Adult massage oils are very similar to lotions used for adult massage in purpose. Like lotions, massage oils come in a wide variety of different scents ranging from sweet, to spicy, to musky and everything in between. Many adult massage oils contain essential oils which are said to not only contain aroma therapeutic properties, but also healing properties. Adult massage oils that contain essential oils can literally awaken the senses when the right scent is chosen. There are also adult massage oils that contain special properties that make them perfect for sensual massage. Some of these oils have a quality that makes them warm when they are applied to the skin or rubbed in. Other oils are flavored so that its uses can be two-fold.

Adult Massage Products

In addition to lotions and oils used for adult massages, there is a wide variety of other massage products that are also available for use in sensual massage. One of these types of products is candles. Sensual massage candles sometimes contain special scents that are said to contain aphrodisiac qualities. Candles of any type can be used to set the stage for a great adult massage experience. Feathers are also used sometimes in sensual massage for a light, pleasing, teasing touch. Feathers made specifically for adult massage are available widely at store retail locations or over the internet.

Massagers

Another type of massage product that is frequently used for adult massage is the massager. A massager is a device that vibrates or provides a repetitive pulsing action. These massagers can be large or small, electric or battery operated, and can provide a wonderful, soothing massage experience. There are also adult massagers that do not use any type of electrical power. Some massagers are simply handheld devices with different shapes that are intended to be used during sensual massage. Some of these adult massage products actually have a technology that allows them to warm up, providing added heat and pleasure. Some of these massagers can chafe the skin if not used with care. In order to avoid damage caused to the skin by excessive friction, it is a good idea to use most of these adult massage products with a lubricant. Many of the adult massage lotions and oils mentioned above can serve this purpose.

Pre-Moving Must Do's: A Checklist to Ease Moving Anxiety

By Amy Nutt

Taking the long planned step to move abroad? Seems like you have finally met all the 'requirements' having employed an international moving company to do the job. Hold on! There are some pre-move checks which must be done by you prior to handing over the items to be packed by your packers and movers. Your first step is to segregate the items in identifiable groups; try organizing your clothes, electronic items, crockery and glass ware, sports and gym gear and so on. Next dehumidify and dry all items. Take a photograph of your expensive items and furniture and ensure that the moving company signs on a copy of these photos. This will help you in case of a claim for damages at a later stage. Check with the embassy of the host country for specific documentation that may be required on specific items. Have these ready well in time as you may be required to give these documents to your moving company along with a copy of your valid passport, Visa and work permit, as well as appropriate insurance documents.

Next, choose the date of moving with great care. The best days to move would be on working days, especially when you take into account the loading and unloading at the other end. This would help you avoid demurrage charges for holding your baggage over weekends at the custom warehouses in the host country where you are relocating. Avoid delays by skipping the first or the end of a month for moving as many people tend to move at this time. Be sure to also check the holiday schedule of your new country of residence.

Now your moving company will have many 'packages' to offer. Ensure that you have thoroughly read through the terms and conditions of each one of them. Basically the choice rests between moving your household items by air or by ship. If you have a large number of household items and furniture to be transported, shipping it by sea is a cheaper alternative. However, depending upon the transit time, it may take anything from three weeks to a month or more for you to get your items at your destination.

Moving by air can either be termed as 'accompanied' or 'unaccompanied'. Accompanied baggage is extremely expensive and something that not many can afford. Unaccompanied baggage is the usual choice which does entail a delay of a day or two over and above your own travel plans. Most people, who have a earmarked residence at the new location send their baggage a day or two in advance and 'time' it with the moving company is such a way that the baggage is available for collection on arrival.

Now that you have gotten all your quotes ready, select the appropriate ones taking into account any atypical fees or surcharges. Check for the quantum of company liability to be signed for, which is the amount the moving company promises to pay for your items in the event of a loss.

Prepare a complete list of items which require insurance and its estimated cost. The moving company will also check that you have a realistic quote and then offer a liability agreement. A regular insurance premium will be payable, but this liability agreement will have to be backed by a regular baggage insurance, especially if you are transporting some invaluable items. Follow these handy tips and set your relocating worries to rest.

Chakra Meditation Revealed

By Jonathan Benjem

Meditation provides a much-needed succor to the battered mind and soul. This fact is known for centuries to ancient civilizations, like Hindu. However, the Western world has only just realized the potency of meditation as a means towards a healthy physical and meta-physical existence. Chakra Meditation is one of the Meditation methods that is most popular the world over purely because of its simplicity and effectiveness in bringing about a change in anyones life.

Introduction to Chakra Meditation

The meditation whose basic aim is to align the movement of all the seven primary Chakras in the body is termed as Chakra Meditation. Our body consists of 7 primary and over 20,000 secondary Chakras. For a better understanding of Chakra Meditation, its important to know what and where are the primary Chakras in the body:

1. Root Chakra governing your general health, prosperity and well being is located at the base of the spine and related to the element Earth.

2. Brow Chakra, also called The Third Eye Chakra, is situated between the brows on the forehead. It is related to the Light element, which governs our perception, interpretation, and visualization.

3. Solar Plexus or Power Chakra located just above the naval region and related to the element Fire. It governs our will power, autonomy, and metabolism.

4. Heart Chakra is situated right at the center of the chest. It is related to the Air element, which governs our feelings of love, compassion, and general relationships.

5. Throat Chakra located at the base of the throat and related to the element Sound. It governs clear communication, creativity, and resonance during our entire lifespan.

6. Brow Chakra governing your power of imagination, visualization, and interpretation is located between the brows on the forehead and related to the element Light.

7. Root Chakra, also called the Base Chakra, is situated at the base of the spine. It is related to the Earth element, which governs our overall health, security, and prosperity in life.

A concentrated mind working towards the achievement of synchronized movements of these seven Chakras in the body can truly bring incalculable rewards in ones life. The body, mind, and soul would become stress-free and youll emerge as a better-informed human being who can easily see the spiritual side to every materialistic possession in this world. One can also achieve natural healing for bodily and mental ailments just by bringing the seven energy centers in consonance with each other.

Chakra Meditation " The Process

Chakra Meditation involves three techniques in this order:

1. Grounding Technique. As is evident from its name, the Grounding Technique makes your body feel connected with the Earth. The application of this technique is pretty simple. Just visualize a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth. Easier it may sound, but requires intense concentration and mental awareness while performing the Grounding Technique.

2. Centering Technique. This technique is vital as it prepares your body to receive the benefits of Chakra Meditation. Again, the application of this technique is not too difficult. Just take 4-5 deep breaths and feel every body part from head to toe getting relaxed. This process involves tightening and relaxing each body part from toe, and then visualizing the act of a potter who centers a pot on the pottery wheel.

3. Relaxation Technique. The Relaxation Technique is the primary act in the entire Chakra Meditation process. Everyone has his or her own method of relaxation. Just find out your preferred mode of relaxing the body and stick to it. In a nutshell, Chakra Meditation is all about relaxing, visualizing, and directing the flow of energy through the seven energy centers (Chakras).

One of the popular methods of Chakra Meditation is detailed below:

a) Sit or lie down comfortably.

b) Close your eyes and loosen your clothing. The idea is to be in a natural state without any kind of artificial compulsion on the body and mind.

c) Breathe in a relaxed manner, which should be neither too fast nor too slow. The idea is to give up the control on your breath, and let it flow naturally, but healthily.

d) Feel every part of your body from toe to the crown in that direction. Feel the earth you are lying on or the sofa you are seated on, feel the clothes you are wearing. Feel completely present with yourself and relaxed.

e) All the negative thoughts and emotions should not be avoided. Let them be! With time and regular practice, these thoughts will disappear automatically. Rather, when no such negative emotion disturbs you, that is the time when you should consider that you have perfected the art of Chakra Meditation.

f) Feel every subtle inner detail and let your awareness travel freely from one body part to the other.

Chakra Meditation can be performed by anyone at convenient hours. There is no rule for the duration of time to perform Chakra Meditation. Suit your comfort levels!

Hair Style For Fine Hair

By Stephen Lambert

If you have fine or thinning hair you might feel it is difficult to find a hair style that suits you. A trip to a barber or hairdresser can be a source of distress.

It is important that you can discuss your fine or thinning hair and the style you want with the person cutting it and not feel any embarrassment or distress.

To avoid the situation of ending up with a style you did not want be sure to discuss your desired style with your hairdresser in full.

And in no circumstances attempt the dreaded 'comb over' by growing your hair at the sides and the back long and combing over the fine or receding areas.

This will almost definitely bring unwanted attention and highlight what you are trying to conceal.

Make the hair lighter if you are light skinned.

Of course, if you have a darker scalp then a darker colour would be better.

There are also a vast range of thickening shampoos and conditioners that add volume to the hair and are less likely to break and damage the already weakened follicle.

It is also advisable not to let fine or thinning hair get too greasy.

For women, chin length cuts are recommended by most stylists. Again, attention and emphasis will be on the features, face and neck, rather than the hair.

As is similar for men, hair that is too long will make the hair appear weaker and thinner than it actually is.. Curling irons and straighteners should be avoided as they can seriously damage hair.

A short cut with hair brushed behind the ears is a most suitable look.

Extensions are an absolute no-no and will add stress to an already weakened hair follicle.

There are surely lots of excellent styles that can help with fine or thinning hair.
