Bridal shower games are a wonderful way to put your guests at
ease and to get the party started! Ideally, bri
dal shower games should be easy to play and should provide
guests with an interactive way to interact with one another in a
casual and fun way. Fortunately, there are lots of games you can
choose to play.

Trivia bridal shower games are wonderful because they give
guests the opportunity to prove how well they know the bride or
groom by encouraging them to answer questions about when the
couple first kissed, what their jobs were, where they attended
college, etc. A variation can be current information such as the
bride’s favorite restaurant, where she would like to vacation,
and her favorite food.

To get everyone moving, try some games that require the guests
to get off their butts and socialize. Wedding dress is an all
around favorite. For this exciting game, you divide the group
into groups and have each group dresses one member in a wedding
gown made entirely from toilet paper. The bride then chooses the
winning design of course! For extra fun, have the models be the
mothers of the bride and groom and the maid of honor.

Purse power is a one of those bridal shower games that is fun
and can help the guests get to know a bit more about each other
as well. Have everyone put their purses in front of them, then
start naming items from a list that you are looking for. You can
award points for each item that a guest has in her purse, with
more points for unusual items (1 point for powder or lipstick, 5
points for mini flashlight). To get into the grove of things,
give extra points for birth control pills, foam, diaphragms, or
condoms!

Traditional word games are also popular games to play and you
can focus on such games as word searches, scrambles, or hangman
style games based on words and phrases having to do with
weddings. These are easy to find and download on the Internet or
find in bridal shower books.

With so many games to choose from, keeping the laughter going
will be no problem at all!

Looking for a muscle building solution? Try going back to basics
for new muscle mass. Sometimes, the best muscle mass methods get
lost and buried under all the new weight training tips,
techniques, innovations and ‘breakthroughs.”

A great example is the traditional four day upper body, lower
body split. It used to be quite popular but you hardly see it
recommended anymore.

This four day split has you training four days a week on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. You perform an upper body weight
lifting workout on Mondays and Thursdays. You train your lower
body on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Some people find it very difficult to keep progressing when they
have to hit the weights five or six days a week. Yet, they stall
out if they don’t work a muscle twice a week. So what’s the
solution? The four day upper body, lower body split of course.
You’re only in the gym four times a week. You don’t workout with
weights more than two days in a row. And yet you still get in
work for each muscle group twice per week.

In addition to all that, you eliminate most of the overlap
problems you see in other splits. There’s a lot of overlap when
working various muscle groups. For example, both the back and
chest require working the shoulders. The back hits the bicpes
and the chest also hits the triceps. So even those splits that
divide muscles over 5 or 6 days find themselves working the same
muscle group two days in a row which is a surefire prescription
to the overtraining land of no gains and no new muscle mass.

So what’s a weight training program utilizing this split look
like? Here’s a great example.

Monday and Thursday (Upper Body)

Decline Bench Press 3 x 6-8

Dumbbell Bench Press 3 x 5

Chins 3 x 8-10

One Arm Dumbbell Rows 3 x 6-8

Seated Dumbbell Press 4 x 8 - 10

Standing Dumbbell Curls 3 x 8 - 10

Tuesday and Friday (Lower Body)

Leg Press 5 x 10 - 15

Squats 3 x 8

Leg Curls 2 x 12 - 15

Stiff Legged Deadlifts 3 x 12

Standing Calf Raises 3 x 15

Weighted Crunches 5 x 15

Your muscle grow when you are resting, not when you are working
out. You need to give your muscles enough rest and recuperation
to allow the building process to take place. If you head back to
the gym too soon, you won’t build muscle. Eventually, you’ll get
weaker, lose muscle mass, feel like crap, and stop working out.
And you definitely don’t want that to happen.

Your whole body needs rest. Working back one day, chest the
next, and legs the day after that may give your individual
muscles some rest but this is definitely not how to build lean
muscle. Why? Because each workout puts a systemic stress on your
entire body, no matter what muscle groups you are working. Your
kidneys, etc. don’t understand or care that you are working
different muscle groups each day. So get out of the gym, get
some rest, and grow! This is why you can struggle to make
progress working out five or six times a week, even when you are
splitting up your body parts.

Give this four day split a try and you’ll be rewarded with new
muscle mass and strength.

Street photography is an approach to photography rather than a location, although the streets are the usual place that it happens.

\”When I saw the photograph of Munkacsi of the black kids running in a wave I couldn\’t believe such a thing could be caught with the camera. I said damn it, I took my camera and went out into the street.\” Henri Cartier-Bresson

Alternatively it is refered to as no rules photography. The plethera of equipment (tripods, lenses,filters,lights etc etc) associated with \”serious\” photography is left at home, or better still in the camera store. Its just too heavy and bulky to cart around, takes way too long to set up and by the time it is set up the moment is gone.
Street photography is shooting from the hip.
Likewise the rules of photograph, the f stops, the shutter speeds, the rule of thirds etc etc are left in their dust jackets on Amazon shelves. By the time all the technical considerations are taken into account, the birdy is in another country.
Thank Canon, Nikon, Fuji et al for point & shoots.

It is just the camera and the photographer with their enthusiasm, intuition and open mind.

Street photography can be and often is: Out of focus; a tilted horizon; a soft focus.

Street photographers are optimists, for them the glass is always half full. They go out on a photo shoot with no plan in mind secure in the knowledge that this wide world of ours will provide. A subject, a situation, a scene will present itself all they have to have is the presence of mind to capture it when it does.

Street photography can be and often is: Odd things in the foreground; no central focus; odd crops.

Street photographers see the usual, the every day with fresh eyes. The reflection in a rain puddle, the colours in a crowd, the balance of a negative space. Their minds are open to all the stimuli that they see and they curse the days when they leave their camera at home.

Street photography can be and often is: very busy; a tilted perspective; upside down.

Street photographers are not only on the streets, they are at weddings,school concerts, next to you on the train. They look a lot like tourists, its their favourite cover but they are one without the big flash. It was left at home, the available light will do.

Street photography can be and often is: under exposed; blurred; suffering from vertigo.

Street photography is, what all photography is, a snap shot.
What shines through is the photographer, his/her interpretation of the scene, what they see in the situation, their reaction to the stimuli, the art they see in the every day.
Technicians take technically correct and often pretty pictures.
Visual artists, whatever their medium, create images that stimulate the mind, the heart and validate the human condition in all its guises. Because, after all, pretty is in the eye of the beholder and consequently very subjective, whereas art speaks to all who are prepared to listen.

Henry Bateman is an artist/photographer who finds a lot of his inspiration in the streets he wanders. His work can be seen at www.pissedpoet.com and this article with pictures at www.pissedpoet.com/art.html

Compounding is interest earning interest and it is powerful because as the interest that is earned by the initial capital also earns interest, the value of the account grows at a geometric (ever-increasing) rate, rather than an arithmetic (straight-line) rate.

AN EXAMPLE OF HOW COMPOUNDING WORKS

Two investors have $1,000 each to invest every year in a mutual fund, leaving the dividends to compound. Investor A’s fund provides an 7.9% annual return, while Investor B’s fund returns only 4.1%. While Investor A’s rate of return is twice that of Investor B’s, over time the increase is significantly more than twice as much. After 10 years, Investor A’s gain is 2.2 times greater, and after 20 years, it is 2.6 times greater.

                     Investor A     Investor B
 Rate of return          7.9.0%          4.1%
 10-year gain             44.9%         20.1%
 20-year gain            128.8%         48.9%

Remember that examples in articles and on the website are for illustrative purposes only and do depict the actual performance of any fund. A mutual fund’s investment return and share value will fluctuate.

PUT COMPOUNDING TO WORK FOR YOU

Reinvest dividends

Instead of taking your mutual fund’s distributions in cash, instruct your fund to let them remain in your account to purchase additional shares. Most companies will allow you to do this without paying an additional sales charge.

Invest regularly

Add to your mutual fund account on a regular basis, perhaps monthly or quarterly. You may be able to have this done automatically by setting up a systematic investment plan with your mutual fund company. By investing regularly you take advantage of a strategy called dollar-cost averaging.

Make time your ally

The longer your money can work for you, the better compounding works. Consider this: $1,000 invested at 8% earns $80. Left to compound, the original $1,000, plus accumulated interest, will earn $160 in the 10th year, $507 in the 25th year, and $1,609 in the 40th year — returns of 16%, 51%, and 161%, respectively, on the original $1,000.

Slave2Work.com - Are you ready for financial freedom?

If you are anything like me, you’d probably like to have a website on the Internet but you just have no idea how to go about it. All this talk of web hosting, bandwidth, disc space, and other jargon can cause one to say, “This is too complicated and technical, I just wanted to have a place to put all of my favorite skateboarding photos, cool information on ramp designs, and the best places to skate!” To get a website on the Web you have to go through a web host. The question is how do you find the web host for you?

If you type ‘web host’ into your search engine like Google you will get thousands of sites. Hit on one of these and like any product on the market you will see all sorts of persuasive propaganda to incite you to use their company; that is if you can decipher any of the technical jargon that only computer-heads can comprehend. Some web hosts offer free business cards with an account; some probably offer free watches…like all consumer industries you the buyer must beware.

I’m a writer so I’ll use the analogy of a writer’s journal. The journal I like must not be too big or small in book size. It also must have a good amount of space allocated to each day, again not a whole page but not just a few lines. Of course I also want it to be cheap but of a good quality that won’t fall apart while I’m using it, and I hope it would last for posterity. I just want the diary, some nice pictures in it are O.K. but unnecessary especially if it adds to the price.

It’s the same with a web host and web site scenario. You want to get the right deal for you, enough space and enough access to the public that you wish to associate with. As a novice who doesn’t understand all the jargon this can pose a problem. Are you an individual, small business, blog, or a big time corporation? What do you need and how do you get it?

As far as I can tell the web hosting business is a lot like the fast food business. The big corporations have strict guidelines, will offer you special deals, and have monthly ‘cheeseburger specials’. But, I’ve always been more interested in the ‘Mom and Pop’ small time diners who have that real caring human approach. You know you are a customer and a person, not just a number on a sales receipt. I believe the hosting companies are the same.

A smaller hosting company will probably treat its users with more honest integrity as well as having more flexibility in dealing with your individual situation. They can often tailor web site packages to accommodate exactly what you are looking for as well as the ability to update them quickly when your needs change.

My advice is to contact a few of the smaller companies. Look for ones with good reputations or just arbitrarily email them and compare results from different places. Which one do you feel most comfortable with? Go for it; ask as many questions as you can, see how the different hosts differ in their answers. Try one; if it doesn’t work out try another, it’s really easy to move around. Don’t be afraid, you’ve got nothing to lose except the fear itself!
