7 Myths About Creating A Better Relationship
2008-05-11 17:40:00 Myth 1 I have to love everything about my partner Reality Check 1 You were born pure and pristine. You then learnt behaviors from your parents, teacher, coaches, church etc. (who did their best to teach you about a better relationship). These behaviors have become the backbone for your way of living and having a better relationship. Perhaps a common behavior that irritates having a better relationship would be leaving the toilet seat up after use. This is merely a behavior and not the essence of the person. However, when you may consider this behavior to be the person, this destroys the concept of a better relationship, creating all kinds of conflict in your need for a better relationship. Myth 2 Love means that I can fix your partner Reality Check 2 You met your partner because of some special quality or charteristic that you admired. You need to accept and allow that quality to flourish in order to al...

Follow Up : Lebanon Crisis , news,maps, cartoons and myths
2008-05-11 15:55:00 News : Today the Arab Foreign ministers are going to meet to Cairo to discuss too late as usual the Lebanese crisis, I do not know what they can do , already the millions Saudi Arabia spent to help the 14th of March parties against Hezbollah did not do anything. The signal of the Future TV channels on the Nile Sat is back , but without broadcasting; only a white screen with a message informing the viewers that they will return so soon. Al Arabiya officially in the last 48 hours became the spokesperson of the 14th of March against Hezbollah in the region. Al Jazeera somehow was neutral. Hezbollah's Al Manar was so clever to air quotes from the late Hariri SR over and over as the martyr Hariri said in their promos. The famous TV host and astrologer Magi Farah met on a daily basis in the last three days with the leaders of the opposition. Things are very quiet in Lebanon , taking in consideration that the army is controlling most of both the pro...

Myths about Handmade Produces
2008-05-06 14:12:00 See if you can recognize the following conversation eh...A: What are you getting for Miss C's birthday?B: hmmm.. I am working on this really cute amigurumi doll, which I think she will like, and I am also ordering a really sweet and unique handmade card from the indie seller.A: Wow, are you having some financial difficulties lately? So cheap skate eh.Well, there are many people out there who still lives in an era that I am not familiar with, who think that handmade produces are cheap.This is how I look at it (even with biased opinion, since I am a handmade crafter myself); if 'B' happens to be a high ranking executive, who earns $6,000 a month, do the sums yourself, you may find that if she uses 5 hrs to make a doll (given that she is not a crafter, who makes dolls for a living, she may take longer to make a doll), that doll could cost quite a bit!Also, consider that the time she spent to make the doll, may fetch her a tens of thousands of dollars deal, work that out a bit too.Wh...

Nissan debunks U.S.-spec GT-R myths
2008-05-03 08:01:00 Nissan debunks U.S.-spec GT-R myths The Nissan GT-R is one impressive piece of machinery, which is perhaps why there are so many myths out there regarding the supercar. One of them has to do with a speed limiter that the on-board brains can raise when the GPS system detects the car is on a racetrack. Well, the crew at Car and Driver set out to dispel the rumors and set the record straight once and for all. For starters, they called up Nissan and asked about the speed limiter, to which Nissan replied that U.S.-spec cars will be redline limited only, with no electronics holding drivers back. Other pieces of fiction involved costly post-track day checkups at Nissan dealerships necessary to keep the warranty intact, an aggressive camber set-up that will eat up tires in just 5,000 miles (Nissan did offer it got more than 10,000 miles from a set on a street-driven car) and $3,000 brake jobs. Other tire-related issues were indeed true. Removing and re-mounting the car's OEM-sp...

Trading for Jared Allen: Myths, Facts, and Reality
2008-04-18 03:55:00 It's funny how much can change in two months. If you go back in time to the 15th of February I advocated trading for Defensive End Jared Allen. In those days I was expecting Allen to sign his franchise tender and he'd cost the Jaguars two first round picks to go for him. Yet I still called for it, declaring that the Jaguars were in no-mans-land at the 26th spot and with Allen we would without a doubt pick even higher next year. It turns out that Allen might not cost two first round picks after all. Allen is visiting with the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in hopes of working a trade. The Chiefs, much to their fans dismay, are entering full on rebuilding mode, overpaying Allen just isn't a smart move for the franchise. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, there seems to be little chance that a trade would occur to bring Allen to Jacksonville. While the price is now less than two first round picks, he would still merit at least a fir...

Reincarnation - Myths and Facts
2008-04-16 18:31:00 I really do not know whether to believe in reincarnation or not. I have heard both sides. There are people who absolutely believe in rebirth and there are others who are skeptical about it. What is reincarnation? According to Wikipedia "literally "to be made flesh again", is a doctrine or metaphysical belief that some essential part of a living being (in some variations only human beings) survives death to be reborn in a new body. This essential part is often referred to as the spirit or soul, the "higher" or "true" self, "divine spark", or "I". According to such beliefs, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but some part of the self remains constant throughout the successive lives." Before the 1960s, it was called "Transmigration of the Soul". This belief is rooted in Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. Many cultures have myths and legends telling about heroes or other characters who die and then come back to life. When they reappear, ...

Wireless technology makes it possible to incorporate new strategic measurements and other data to solutions that simply were either not practical or even possible to implement in a wired communications environment. When wireless technology is used, solutions for process optimisation, device management, real-time equipment condition monitoring, energy management, personnel tracking, asset tracking, security, and enterprise asset management can all work in unison to address both industrial asset utilisation and availability. There are some limitations to a wired infrastructure, especially in the plant environment. New applications often require upgraded cabling and expansion to existing applications may require additional cabling. Along with the cabling itself, there are many associated costs with this kind of infrastructure. In order to expand cabling within a...

Biggest Credit Myths, Mistakes, and Misconceptions
2008-04-15 02:36:00 Good credit is well worth the effort it takes to both achieve and preserve it. If you have good credit, the following tips will help you keep it that way. If you are looking to improve your credit, however, now is the time to get started. Give us a call. We'll review your credit and find out exactly where you stand. In the meantime, if you plan on entering into a loan transaction in the next 6 to 12 months, you simply cannot afford to make the following credit mistakes: Don't fall behind on existing accounts. This includes your mortgage and car payments. One 30-day late can cost you anywhere from 30-75 points. Don't pay off old collections or charge-offs during the loan process. Paying collections will decrease your credit score immediately due to the "date of last activity" becoming recent. If you want to pay off old accounts, do it through closing, and make sure that 1) you validate that the debt is yours, and 2) the creditor agrees to gi...

Myths about the sub-prime lending mess
2008-04-09 18:05:00 In an article over at MSN Money, Rick Newman of U.S. News World and Report talks about the looming recession and the sub-prime loan mess that we're finding ourselves stuck in.With 2 million home foreclosures possible over the next two years and the economy stumbling toward recession, it's clear that Washington will enact new reforms meant to curtail reckless lending, attach big-print disclaimers to risky securities and prevent any more self-triggered implosions in the financial markets.The Federal Reserve has already engineered one Wall Street bailout, something it may have to do again. Congress, the Treasury Department and other regulators are proposing dozens of new rules.Some of them might work.But we're not at the end of the housing crash or the economic downturn -- we're still in the middle, where vision is much worse than 20/20. That means politicians and regulators could end up imposing solutions before they even fully understand the problem. Rick goes on to list some of ...

As many have gone through some type of acne situation, it is likely everyone has heard at least one type of acne myth. But what myths stem from actual truth- and what myths are complete fabrications? Popular Myths On Acne Diet is, scientists say, part of a good acne fighting regime. But as myths go, it is said that foods like pizza can cause acne. But in many studies, there just hasn’t been any proof. It is long believed that a good diet can help influence acne- but certainly not enough to cause major breakouts in most cases. Interestingly enough, other comfort foods such as chocolate or fried food has also been associated with acne. Studies show that this, too, could not be proven. It has been said that greasy foods often leave greasy residue on one’s hands- and then the residue can travel to one’s face simply by laying one’s palm on their cheek. This can clog pores and lead to ... |
