Virility at Any Age

As one of the benefits of bee pollen, testosterone increases that occur naturally with supplementation can restore key areas of the body to normal functional levels, so older men no longer have to relegate themselves to the age related woes of lowered testosterone levels. As a perfect example of the testosterone related benefits experienced with bee pollen, Noel Johnson was a runner and former boxer who regularly ran marathons at an age when most people have weekly doctor visits. Setting several athletic records in the Senior Olympics and the New York City Marathon, he was also pictured on the Wheaties cereal box and wrote a book about his experiences. In his story, he states that he was on the verge of death at age 70, but credits bee powder supplementation with his marvelous comeback and renewed interest in sex at the age of 71.

Great for Prostate Health

Many men do not realize that if they supplement with pollen, testosterone levels will return to normal, and they will be able to enjoy the same liveliness they had when they were younger. Without dangerous drugs, they not only will be able to eliminate or avoid prostate and other problems that are commonly associated with low testosterone levels but will also be able to achieve a superior quality of life.

Combat Male Infertility

When a man’s diet is supplemented with bee pollen, testosterone increases are almost inevitable because it contains a gonadotropic hormone that is very like the human pituitary sex hormone gonadotropin. With naturally increased testosterone levels men can enjoy benefits such as:

– A higher sperm count

– Increased libido

– Curative effects on erectile dysfunction

Benefits for Women

While bee pollen is an exceptional supplement for both men and women, women taking pollen have consistently reported benefits such as:

– Reduced PMS symptoms

– Decreased menopausal symptoms

Benefits for All

As such an amazing substance, the benefits of bee supplementation are numerous for everyone and include:

– Perfect nutrition

– Increased metabolism

– Heightened energy levels

– Reduction of atherosclerosis symptoms

With the purest pharmaceutical-grade bee pollen, testosterone increases that commonly occur with regular supplementation will be accompanied by better health in general and a reduction in many age related ailments that are common to both sexes. Therefore, it is essential to source your pollen from a company that can guarantee its purity in writing, so the nutrients are not contaminated with pollutants that have the potential to negate its beneficial effects. Recent pollution level studies have shown the country of New Zealand to have some of the cleanest air in the world. In addition, separate studies done of different areas have shown pollen sourced from New Zealand to be the purest.

Picture yourself as follow: You were in the final lap of a race; you’re now in the first position, leading all the way with the victory almost in your hand. You could smell the champagne and the beat of your heart is immeasurable. Instantly, you push your car, you can’t wait to pass the finish line. Then suddenly in the last corner of the circuit, your engine begin to malfunction, it stops working and the car losses power. Finally your car is stopping only a hundred meters before the finish line.

What is your reaction? You feel like the sky is falling onto you. You want to cry, all of the hope desert you and hurting your pride. You’re frustrated and begin to walk with the shoulder down just like a prisoner.

The situation you’ve pictured above is an analogy of what often happen in our real life. With the so high expectation we end up with nothing but a great disappointment. You thought that you have made a perfect plan then suddenly everything is working against you and left nothing on your favor. What’s wrong in this situation?

Some know how to deal with pressure and some don’t. Some people enjoy being pressured and the others think they destined to be a loser of life.

Just like in any sports, in this life you have to take victories and defeats. Although you work hard and make a perfect plan, you can’t always aim for success in everyday. There will be a moment-even once in a lifetime-which things are going not on your side. There may be people who are more passionate than you, luckier, may be in a slightly advantageous position. Most of the time, you will not realize this possibility. When you in the hardest condition of your life you simply feel that you are not born to be a champion, and hence, nothing you can do can give you a favor.

It takes time and requires maturity to accept things as they are. Sometimes, it’s hard to keep your head cool and keep strive to do your best regardless of the outcome will be.

Your expectation might favor you or not at all. A wise man once said that the higher the level of the expectation, the lower the level of the satisfaction. And it’s right. The future is not yours to see. You don’t have to think about anything in the future. Just think about present and give your best. Live your moment now. The only reality is the current situation. The past couldn’t be relived and the future might not ever come.

Now, picture yourself back in the race, but in slightly different moment. Instead of the situation in the final lap, now you roll back to the beginning: before the start. This is the final race of the season and you are leading the championship by only 1 point ahead of your toughest competitor. You were the pole sitter. The expectation of yours and your fans is agonizingly high. You really want to win. The excitement inside is above the limit and simply put your heart nearly flame.

Then you think deeper, that this sport is what it is. It’s just for fun, thrill, exhilaration and delight. You don’t have anything to do with the fact that your name will be written the records book or not! You don’t care whether you will finish in the top ten or not. You just want to do your job that you love as well as you can and the finish line is a different world which you will think later.

Similar in the real life, you have to learn to adapt and accept it. You also have to learn to live for yourself, your own ideals, your own goals, and your own reality. The hell it matters of what people might think, you will not be swayed by all of the emotion and praise. Whether the others slam you or raise you to heaven, it’s all the same for you.

You give your best. With the very normal expectation you live your life as it is. Sometimes you fail yourself, sometimes life pushes you around. But you never complain, you just go on, calmly, and trying to do your best.

Life is about your choose. You can blame others for your defeat, or you might learn from it and strengthen your steps to coast the next victory. A defeat today only means that you have to win tomorrow. Do not shed tears over failure and always control your expectation. Do everything for yourself, for your own pride. The result will follow, including the success.

Creating beautiful and mouth-watering cakes is not as scary as it might seem. A variety of resources are available to guide you through your cake creating experience-books, websites, online videos and classes are just a few ways that you can learn how to decorate cakes.

This guide covers the basics of making and decorating tasty and beautiful cakes with buttercream icing and details. We explain the basics of icing, tools needed for decorating, how to design your cake, and how to transport and assemble the cake. In addition to buttercream, we touch briefly on fondant and royal icing, which can be used to make accent details for the cake; however, you can make a beautiful and edible creation using only buttercream. Get ready to decorate!

Icing 101

There are hundreds of different icing recipes and options for cake decorating. As an amateur or a pro just looking for inspiration, fundamentals are always at the core of any success project.

Poured icings, spread able icings and rolled icings are just a few available. For most special-occasion cakes, the tastiest option is buttercream icing. In recent years, rolled-fondant icing has taken over as the “look” preferred for cake creators and brides-to-be. However, those cakes are more expensive and less tasty than cakes decorated with buttercream icing. In this section, we discuss the basics of buttercream, royal and fondant icing and provide recipes for each. It is possible to decorate a cake entirely with buttercream and have a beautiful design. In case you are ready to try some details with fondant, you will be able to branch out. The green and pink cake pictured above is iced with buttercream, with the detailed polka dots and diamonds made of fondant or gum paste. The cake to the right is decorated with buttercream, satin ribbon and flowers, for an elegant and wholly edible look!

What is Buttercream Icing?

Traditional buttercream icing is made mostly of eggs, butter and sugar. Versions best suited for home-decorating of cakes do not contain eggs. Buttercream is the tastiest of standard cake decorating icings and is quite flexible. Various consistencies allow decorating of the entire cake, and creation of larger details such as flowers and small, intricate details such as scrollwork.

When you realized that you were pregnant, you saw a child in your mind. You either pictured the most adorable baby girl or the most beautiful baby boy. It was your subconscious thoughts telling you what gender you secretly wanted. Why not listen to those thoughts and make your dream come true? If you want to choose the gender of your baby in a safe way, then you need to find out more about what options are available for you.

A lot of couples that want to select the gender of their baby go through medical procedures. A lot of these include hormone injections into the womb so the baby can absorb these. However, with any medical procedure there are risks involved. Your baby can have birth defects from this and also, it can be a risk to the mother’s health. These are risks that you are not willing to take. You want to choose the gender of your baby in a safe way.

Luckily, you can do that. You can get the gender of your dreams and stay healthy. A great way to accomplish this is the change your diet according to the gender that you want. For example, if you want to have a baby girl, then you need to eat a diet rich in acidic foods. This creates the optimal environment for your baby girl to develop in. The opposite is said for a baby boy. Eat plenty of foods that are alkaline and you will get that little boy.

How much to do you know about Fear? In dictionary terms, it means a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, pain, concern or anxiety. In simple terms, it can stop us from doing the things we want as we view it in all the negative terms.

May I ask what are the things you fear of in life? Are you afraid of losing someone like your loved ones, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, children or your own life/health? Or are you afraid of losing something like your business, money, property, or valuable items? It could also be your own pride, integrity, directions, meaning, purpose or career.

Fear normally comes from the unknown of the consequences. We normally do not know what will happen if we do this or do that. That’s why education is one of the ways to reduce fear. By educating ourselves, we can understand what we are facing. However, it can also increase our fear by knowing too much that we scare ourselves further.

Actually, the only way to cure fear is action. Whenever, there is something that you are fearful of remember to go head on with it by taking massive action to overcome it. Action, bring spiritual growth, experience, wealth and success from fear. Fear is the opportunity for action.

I have read from The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz. In his book he recounts that during the WWII, the Navy had to teach their sailor to swim. The sailors are required to jump off a board six feet in the air. He observed fear in the faces of the sailors when they were asked to jump off the board. On more than one occasion, the sailors were “accidentally” pushed off the board. When interviewed, many former Navy men illustrate that action cures fear. Indecision, postponement, on the other hand, fertilises fear.

In an interview by Will Smith he said, “Attack your fears. You gotta be motivated by Fear. You gotta attack your fears.” Normally, the fear we think of is VERY BIG, because we magnify them in our head, because we are focusing on the fear that’s when we scare ourselves off. Once you have gathered courage and taken action upon it, it is not that scary as you pictured it. After you have done it once, it is easier the next time round.

Take Massive Action against your Fears, instead of spending your time and energy on being fearful, use that energy to be constructive. There is nothing impossible. You can do it! What’s stopping you now? Nothing!! AHO!!

1. Raphael means “God heals.” Raphael heals physical, emotional and spiritual problems, and is sometimes known as the “divine physician.” Raphael is believed to have healed Abraham after his circumcision. Raphael also healed Jacob when he dislocated his hip after wrestling with an angel.

2. Raphael is usually pictured holding a fish. This is the fish that Tobias caught while travelling to Media with Raphael. Raphael told him to cut out the fish’s heart, liver and gall. Tobias, who did not know his travelling companion was Raphael, queried this strange request. The man told him that smoke made from the heart and liver would exorcise evil spirits, and the gall would restore the sight of someone with white film in his eyes. The trip was a success. Tobias was paid the money he was owed; he found a bride, and Raphael taught him how to use the smoke from the heart and liver to exorcise the demon inside his bride. On returning home, Raphael showed him how to use the gall to restore his father’s eyesight. Only then did Raphael identify himself.

3. As a result of his journey with Tobias, Raphael became known as the protector of travellers. He has an excellent sense of humour, and is a good travelling companion. This is why he is often depicted as a pilgrim, wearing a hat, and carrying a walking stick and a gourd containing either water or medicine.

4. Raphael is both a teacher and a healer. He taught Tobias how to heal his father. He teaches us how to heal ourselves from the self-inflicted wounds we create through our actions. He also heals the wounds of all mankind and has been called the Guardian Angel of Humanity.

5. According to Jewish legend, Raphael helped Noah gain the knowledge he needed to build his ark. After the flood subsided, he gave Noah a medical book.

6. Raphael helped King Solomon build his great temple. God gave Raphael a special ring to give to Raphael. This ring enabled Solomon to command thousands of demons to help finish the temple. This magic ring contained a pentagram, or five-sided star, on the seal. As a result of this, the pentagram became one of the first medical symbols.

7. It is likely that Raphael was the angel who entered the pool at Bethesda. The first person to enter the water at this famous healing center after the angel had disturbed it was instantly cured of whatever disease he had (John 5:2-4).

8. Raphael features in John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost. During the course of a conversation, Adam asked Raphael if angels have sex. Raphael blushed as he explained that angels enjoy spiritual sex.

9. Raphael (1483-1520), the famous Italian artist, was named after the archangel, and painted him twice. In one of these, Raphael presents the infant Tobias to the Virgin Mary, who has the infant Jesus in her arms. Tobias is holding a small fish.

10. In 1918, an English nurse named Joy Snell wrote a book called The Ministry of Angels. In it she described how she regularly saw Raphael at the heads of seriously ill patients. Whenever she saw him, she knew the patient would recover.

1. Use Short Sentences. An average of 10 to 20 words a sentence is acceptable nowadays. Long sentences are tiring and in most cases they can be shortened by throwing out unnecessary words.
2. Prefer the Simple to the Complex. The Englishman, H. W. Fowler and his brother in their famous book ‘The King’s English’, put it best: “Prefer the familiar word to the far-fetched. Prefer the concrete word to the abstract. Prefer the single word to the circumlocution. Prefer the short word to the long. Prefer the Saxon word to the Romance.”
3. Prefer the Familiar Word. Most people’s conversation is limited to about 3000 words. Well educated people probably know about 20 to 30 thousand words. It all depends on whom you are writing for. Common words will be understood by everybody and virtually any idea can be expressed with a vocabulary of only 3000 words. Avoid using unfamiliar words simply to impress or force a reader to go to the dictionary (they won’t).
4. Avoid Unnecessary Words. Imagine there is a tax payable on words used. Think about every word, “Can it be cut”. Writing gains clarity when it is concise.
5. Use Action Verbs. “He drove very fast down the road.” Much better is, He sped down the road”. The words ‘very fast’ are adjectives used to strengthen the word ‘drove’. ‘Sped’, or perhaps, ‘raced’, is better because of reader psychology. People prefer facts to opinions. ‘Sped’ is a fact, ‘very fast’ is an opinion.
6. Write as you Talk. The written word is a substitute for the spoken word. The habit of writing as though you were speaking almost always leads to clearer writing. Just cut out the ‘ums’ and ‘er’s’ and the repetitions that usually come into the spoken word.
7. Use Terms your Reader Can Picture. Or, avoid abstract words wherever possible. Aesop’s Fables have been read for thousands of years because he turned abstractions like greed, envy, anger into stories that could be pictured. Jesus did this also with his parables.
8. Connect with your Reader’s Experience. Put yourself in your reader’s shoes otherwise he or she might understand your words but misunderstand your meaning. The reader could have a different ground from the writer. A good example is in politics where people from one nation talking about aggression can seem like hypocrites to the other nation because of preconceptions about who is the aggressor in each side’s point of view.
9. Use Variety. Most prose, even if the subject is serious, can contain some humor, some surprise, maybe some personal injection. Avoid monotonous flat prose.
10. Write to Express not Impress. It is still all too often the case that people resort to unfamiliar, long words and meandering prose, especially when making formal announcements. Policemen say, “the thief was apprehended”, not, “We caught the thief”. Notices say, “Please refrain from smoking”, rather than, “Please do not smoke”. Nobody actually uses the word ‘refrain’ in normal conversation so why use it in a notice? It is done to sound important, make the notice sound official, done to impress, not express.

Marriage is a giant step for any young couple. People say all you need to do is get over the first year hump and you should be fine. I found it is not just 1 year, but a minimum of 2 years, at least it was for me and my wife. There will be many adjustments you will need to overcome for your marriage to blossom to how you have always pictured it would be. I have been married for going on 7 years now and am happier then ever. Keep in mind, my wife and I did go through a lot of problems as newlyweds, due to other reasons that I will cover later. Trust me, being a newlywed, you will have many compromises, but it will all be worthwhile in the future.

If you are reading this, you must be second guessing why you have gotten married in the first place, truth is, everyone does. You start to find you may be becoming like how your parents were, but that is normal and is just the way life goes, you don’t think your parents were always how they were when you were growing up, do you? Bottom line, life goes on and people do change. Just remember, you got married because of love for one another and want to spend the rest of your life together.

I found through my own experiences there are 6 key points a newlywed marriage must know and do to have a successful marriage and stay in love:

1. Communicate With Each Other

Communication is key for any type of relationship. You must be able to talk to each other about anything. Don’t be afraid to open up about anything. Chances are you are starting to find out you did not completely know everything of your partners past, but are slowly learning more and more. Which brings up trust, trusting each other will make or break any type of relationship. You and your partner must keep good communication. Sometimes it is good to even just take a day a month just to sit and chat about what has been going on with work, friends, past relationships, etc….Never keep issues bottled up in you, that will lead to so much more problems in the future.

2. Break You Routine

I found that boredom was a key influence on me questioning my marriage. It is just so easy to fall into this trap as well. Change it up sometimes. My advice for newly weds is do not get too comfortable with each other. This sounds bad, but you do need to keep spice in your marriage, not just the same thing everyday, you will get bored.

3. Wait To Have Children

This is the main key reason why my marriage almost did not make it. Yes, my wife and I did have a child prior. I decided to do the right thing and be a great father. We did have a rocky start, but it all worked to the best. We have no regrets now, but it was a rough road in the beginning. You need to know, with children, comes a lot of responsibility, compromise, and financial burden.

4. Stay Close With Friends

Don’t lose sight of friends and family, after all, most of them were probably with you before your mate. Once a week have nights out away from your better half, you need some space between each other. You can go through life with just bottled up, get out and have some fun with friends.

5. Look Good For One Another

Keep up with the way you look and feel. You don’t want to send a signal to your partner that you just don’t care about yourself anymore. Don’t let yourself go, stay sexy for each other, it will pay off.

6. Save Money

Today’s economy is hard to even save a penny. But, you must, many newlywed marriages go down due to financial stress. Extra money will help for unexpected things you will not need to stress over. Trust me; you will need money saved if you do plan on having any children in your future. We found out the hard way.

Remember, every newlywed marriage will go through problems; it something new and you must learn from it and just never give up when it gets tough.

The holidays will be here before you know it and now is a great time to get organized in preparation for all the shopping, decorating, celebrations and gift and greeting card exchanges headed your way. It is much easier to organize one thing at a time, so let’s concentrate first on the annual holiday greeting cards.

Everyone enjoys receiving holiday cards. They’re a great opportunity to stay in touch with distant friends and family and perfect opportunities to send thoughtful wishes for the season to those you may see more often. Businesses find value in sending them as well for maintaining contact and building loyalty among those they do business with and for.

It is possible though to accumulate quite a collection of these wonderful cards over the years. Too nice to simply trash after the holidays when the decorations come down, many are kept indefinitely. In preparation for a new batch that may begin arriving in early November, take time now to deal with the ones you have on hand.

Sort. Gather all of the Thanksgiving cards, holiday and Christmas cards you’ve received in the past in one place. Most will be beautiful designs with detailed embossing and colorful sparkling foils but see who they are from and keep only those with sentimental meaning. Also keep those that would look great framed, but frame them immediately rather than leave them in the stack for review again next year. Photo cards are often treasured as well but there is no need to keep them if you aren’t all that close to those pictured.

Repurpose. Most greeting cards can be repurposed. Cut the card faces off and use them for holiday crafts. Trim designs down to use as gift tags or cut and fold them in half to use as thank you cards for the gifts you will most likely be receiving. Larger cards can be cut and folded into tiny gift boxes. Laminate others to use as holiday placemats or coasters. Glue them to blank cards and send out again as new. With a bit of easy creativity there is no end to the possibilities these pre-received cards can offer.

Recycle. If there is simply no way you feel your cards can be repurposed, put them in your recycling bin or take them to a recycling center. The paper can be reprocessed and reused to make new recycled cards for next year. You will be helping the environment as well as organizing your greeting cards collection.

Donate. Cut or tear the personalization or signed portion of the cards off and donate the rest to charities that can repurpose them. Many groups of children and adults would appreciate the opportunity to repurpose these beautiful designs. CardsDirect sponsors a recycling and reuse program for used or excess greeting cards for any occasion throughout the year. Cards received are sorted and organized and send on to organizations that can make use of them.

Now that you have successfully cleared the decks you are ready to organize your plans for this coming year’s holiday cards that you are sure to be sending and receiving.
