How To Write A Eulogy

If you’re thinking about going with the conventional style of writing a speech for the eulogy you’re going to deliver, I’d like to present some tips that will help you.

Take some time alone to sit down in a quiet place and reflect. Sit at your computer and type what you are thinking, or bring a pen and some paper to write down your thoughts.

At first your thoughts may be random and may not follow any particular order or structure. That’s perfectly all right. Not many people—especially in the grip of an emotional situation—have thoughts that flow perfectly.

Once you’ve recorded your thoughts, read through them. If you’ve written them on a pad or piece of paper go back and number them in order of importance. If you’re using a computer, cut and paste words and sentences after formatting for numbering. Don’t be afraid to add or delete.

What you’re thinking really depends on you. What you want to say will vary according to your situation. However, you want to make sure that you’re being true to your own feelings, true to the memory of the deceased and conscious of the feelings of those who will be listening to what you’re saying.

1. Pick a tone. This is the point in which you decide if you want to be serious, sentimental, or light-heated. A good eulogy doesn’t have to be solemn and serious if that isn’t the mood of your family. Pick the tone that best fits the situation. If your family is more formal or traditional, write and organize your thoughts in such a way. If you’re a family of free-spirits or the deceased was a jolly person who loved a laugh, your tribute can be written in a more light-hearted tone. If the deceased was someone of deep sentiment and emotion, a more sentimental eulogy is appropriate. Injecting some humor even into the most serious of eulogies is often a good idea. The use of appropriate and relevant humor in the form of a witty anecdote about the deceased or a funny memory can help relax the audience and, actually, help you relax.

2. Make sure your words are respectful. A good rule to keep in mind is that you shouldn’t say anything in a eulogy that you wouldn’t have said to the deceased’s face when they were alive.

3. Don’t be afraid to get personal. Talk about moments that you shared with the deceased—moments that define him or her and the relationships that they shared.

4. Write short sentences. Long sentences track well on paper, but can be confusing when said in front of an audience.

5. Write from your heart. The most eternal memory that people will seize from your eulogy is what you enlighten them with that’s most sincere. You can do this without being excessively emotional. Just take into account the best qualities of your loved one and remind the listeners that those qualities will continue.

How to Be Popular

Why do you want to learn how to become popular? - is it because you just want to get into a group? Do you want to impress people and be a member of a certain class or do you intend to make more friends so that you can enjoy? Do you want to impress, attract and seduce the opposite sex with ease? You can become popular through various means and you may need to do a lot, but first you have to evaluate if all those things you need to do are really worth for attaining popularity.Check out this website for more tips: http://vur.me/djfunkyslick/shy

2. Be at ease with what you are and have a confident body language: others will notice you if you are confident and will come to you. Once you are at ease with being lonely and satisfied with what you are, you will be able to make friends easily.

3. Carve out your own image: many are of the opinion that wearing different clothes and having a different hairstyle are enough to make you popular. On the contrary, frequent changes in your style make you look as if you are toiling at it. Hence present yourself in a fashion that all can see the best in you. For example, a short hair cut might help you highlight your eyes or lips or smile or a jeans you wear will show the level of confidence you posses. Change is a good way to present yourself. But find out the fashion which is not of out date and which would suit your personality too. The most confident people are those who don’t hesitate to try out new things.

4. Be proud of how you look and strive to be fit: Be clean if you want to attract people. Shower, brush and use perfumes and deodorants. Do not make people uncomfortable when they are with you. Odor is one thing people don’t like. Also to appear fresh wash your face as often as possible. Also, you can reduce the sprouting up of acne every now and then. Girls may use a moderate amount of make up.

5. Be passionate: get involved in some events like athletics, community service or some other avocation. When you become a member of a group you develop bonding with your team-mates. This bonding can inspire and instill confidence in you. Don’t worry about people. Just get involved in what you think you can contribute your best in. eventually people will recognize you talent and you will get the due credit. You need not be a popular football player or cheerleader to become popular. There are many other ways to become popular.

6. Never hesitate: Don’t hide your talents. Show all facets and particularly those which people around you are not aware of. This will make you popular and people will be interested in forging relationship with you. If you show this talent to a large number of people, you can spread your name faster. But do not be boastful. Humility is the key here.

7. Be aggressive and social: Friends will not come to you, particularly if you are known to be a person who is shy and not the social kind of. Even if you do not like being in the company of people, you have to break out of that belief and try to be social. Do not hesitate any chance to talk to a person – be it a queue you are standing or the person sitting next to you in a hall.

The quickest and the most reliable way to develop healthy aggression and improve social skills is to reprogram your subconscious mind with subliminal messages. You will notice positive changes in your behavioral habits after 5-8 sessions of subliminal training. No effort on your part is required- just download any of subliminal messaging programs, like Subliminal Flash, select affirmations from categories related to confidence and charisma and start the session. You can download free version of Subliminal Flash from many sites, just search Google.

8. Talk: try striking a conversation to 3 people whom you don’t know daily. Just go them and ask them any doubt you have. And when you talk to them, have a smiling face. Don’t think what the other will think about you, just go ahead and find a reason to talk to him/her. The moment you allow these thoughts to come, you will never be able to talk to anyone new. Don’t underestimate yourself or the person you intend to talk to. Have a personality which makes people want to talk to you.

9. Share some part of your life: This doesn’t have to be something big or great. Just narrate some anecdote or experience you have had in your life. Make them feel when you tell them. If possible narrate something funny which will elevate their moods. This will people to behave naturally when around you. They will be able to express themselves freely when around with you.

10. Be a relationship man: Don’t treat people as items. They are people, with souls, hobbies, interests etc. Learn about them and praise them for their talents. People love to be praised because it increases their self esteem. So if you want to get noticed- show interest in other people, rather than making people think of you as interesting. Also try to make friends and forge relationship with new people always.

11. Mix up with people: never lose contact with your old friends. Never let them have the opinion that you don’t need them because you have found some replacement. Don’t stick to one group. Be a member of every group, so that others think you are a person who can get along with anyone. Don’t remove anyone, otherwise you would create enemies, which will certainly not help your popularity.

12. Do things you have never tried: try out things you have never done earlier. If you want people to notice you do something that you have never tried out ever earlier. It could be doing crazy things like dancing like mad at a formal venue .but don’t give others the opinion that you are doing this to garner attention. Be natural. You will be amazed to know how good you feel and you will gain a lot of affection and respect from people around you. They will recognize you as a person who thinks independently and will follow what his mind says. However, be sure you do not become a joker or an entertainer to them. Have some dignity to yourself.

13. Don’t think too much: being popular is a state of mind. It is also called "charisma".If you try too hard to become popular, people will dismiss you.

To develop irresistible charisma try subliminal messages (Do you remember Rule #7? If not, scroll up and read it again). Try subliminal s, and I guarantee that you will boost your popularity in a week or so: It is a fact proven by numerous experiments with my students. You can download programs like Subliminal Flash for free, such programs have tons of predefined affirmations.

Popularity is how people see you. So the best way for people to see you as a genuine person is to be true always. Use these tips in an intelligent way and you will see the surge in your popularity soon.

How to Break Your Fall

1. Keep your head up. This is the primary location of the body that you do not want to have damaged. You do not want to have your head connect with the ground, particularly if you are falling onto pavement or another hard surface. It is better to bruise your arms than to bruise your head.

* It may be helpful to make a habit of putting one hand on the back of your head when going down backwards. This will help you protect your head against slamming into the ground and losing consciousness.
* Alternatively, tuck your chin to your chest or focus on looking at your belt (so the head doesn't contact the ground when you fall backwards).
* If falling forward, look left or right (this avoids hitting nose/face on ground). Only turn your head slightly, however. If your head hits the ground when you're looking completely to one side or the other, you have a greater chance of injuring your neck.
* If you anticipate losing consciousness and falling in the presence of others (such as if you're prone to fainting or seizures) have them read How to Control a Fall.
2. Slap your palms off the ground if falling forward. Make sure your whole palm slaps the ground. This is done only for a second to slow your fall the slight bit that it will, and to prevent breaking your wrists (it may also help to learn How to Strengthen Your Wrists. It is not meant to absorb all your weight like a spring, or "catch" you.

* Do this also if falling sideways (use left palm if falling left, right if falling right). **Note: Never try to slap the back of your hand against the ground. Always use the palm or edge of your hand. It is easy to break your wrist if you use the back of your hand.
* Don't lock your elbows.
3. Breathe out. Some people will tell you to breathe out as much as possible, which will tense up your body thus allowing you to "absorb the impact of the fall". It is more likely, however, that you will damage your body if it's tense. Instead, breathe out normally, just as much as the task of going to the ground requires. This will keep your body flexible and relaxed, and greatly reduce the risk of injury. This is especially important if you are in a fight (see How to Take a Punch.) If someone punches your stomach, try to exhale right before impact so you don't get the wind knocked out of you.
4. Fold your body like an accordion. Bend your ankles, then your knees, then your hips. Fold your body into itself. This decreases the height of your fall. Just imagine: You're 6' tall. Someone pushes you. What's better? Toppling and risking slamming your head from about 6' height into the ground, or folding into yourself and risking slamming your head from about 2 feet into the ground?

* If falling backwards, try to bend at the knees and squat before the fall. Curl your back and roll on it. Don't try to break the fall with your arms. See How to Do a Backward Roll.
5. Practice falling on a soft surface (like a mat) when you aren't actually falling. This will teach your body the right thing to do and then it becomes a reflex.

You Don't Have To Work Harder To Make More Money!

Now you can earn more money without doing anything extra.

The secret to becoming wealthy is to get paid again and again for something you do one time.

*

A development company wanted to build a shopping center. They chose a suitable piece of land and leased it from the owner. The terms of the lease... $33,000 per month for 99 years.
*

J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter series of novels and became the world's first billionaire author.
*

Elvis Presley's estate earns over $1,000,000 per week... and he passed away in 1977.

These are just three examples of someone doing something once and getting paid again and again. There are untold thousands more examples. Some are smaller, some are greater... but the concept is the same. If you can do something ONCE... and get paid for that thing over and over again... for years and years... you can become wealthy.

But suppose you don't own prime real estate. Suppose you're not a talented author or legendary performer. What then?

The answer is simple... you build a successful business.

A successful business can provide security for today and for tomorrow.

A successful business can provide income for years and years... even after you retire.

A successful business can provide income for your children and for their children... for generations!

But how can you build a successful business? Here's how...

As an OnlineBusinessAlliance Business Owner, you have the option to lease advertising space for a one-time fee and then sub-lease that space at a profit... again and again and again... forever!

You can lease advertising space for a one-time cost of $30... and then sub-lease the advertising space again and again... and get paid $20 again and again... forever!

How can you sub-lease the same advertising space again and again?

Simple! The advertising space that you're sub-leasing actually EXPANDS as you need it!

The more you need, the more you have! You will NEVER RUN OUT!!!

You can lease an ENDLESS SUPPLY OF ADVERTISING SPACE and then sub-lease that space for $20 over and over and over again... automatically... without doing anything else!

Automatically?

Yes, automatically! All you ever need to do is to promote your website for one of your OBA Digital Products (such as the Stop Being A Victim ebook) and your customers will login to their back office (like you did)... and click on the the link about "earning more money without doing anything extra" (like you did)... and read this page (like you are now).

Some of them will decide that spending $30 once in order to earn $20 over and over again for years is a good idea... and they will sub-lease the advertising space from YOU!

Even the ones who decide NOT to spend that $30 can still make money for you. The strength of the system is that even those customers who do nothing more than sell a couple of the ebooks will help build your business (and your income!)... because even if they don’t want to spend any more money, they will find others (for you) who do!

And it all happens automatically! All you do is to promote your OBA Digital Products website and your digital products customers automatically become your lease customers!

And every time that happens, you earn ANOTHER $20.

But that's not all!!! Visit: http://onlinebusinessalliance.com/5dollar.php?id=Djfunkyslick

How to Find Out Who Your Spouse Is Having An Affair With: Cheating

1. Check your telephone, or cellular phone bills. Look for any abnormal phone numbers that you do not recognize. Realize that not every phone number that you do not recognize will lead to a person that your spouse is having a cheating affair with. But you might find the proof you need. Call each unrecognizable number and wait to see who answers. If it's someone of the opposite gender from your spouse, explain that you had found their number on your spouse’s, and your phone bill , and were curious as to what it is. Understand, however, that you have to take whatever they tell you at face value.
2. Hire an investigator. Find one in your local newspaper, phone book, or hire one that someone that you know has used before. Sometimes this method can prove to be very costly, so make sure you can afford it.
3. Use a digital camera or web cam to spy on your spouse. Set it up in the bedroom, since this is where most affairs take place. Know, however, that if it is found your relationship is probably over.
4. Track them on the internet. If your spouse has been cheating over emails, you can take the email address that have been writing to and type it into a Google or Yahoo search. This will often link you to tons of websites that email is registered with, often revealing a name, online identities, and sometimes addresses and phone numbers.
5. Confront your spouse, but ONLY after you have a significant amount of evidence. Track your spouse’s routine and attempt to catch him or her in the act, or at least see if he or she is lying to you.

*Be wary, if you are caught spying on your significant other, you will be the betraying and untrustworthy one and will likely ruin your relationship.

How To Meet New People: Tips on Not Being Creepy

1. Understand the stereotype of a creep. To creep is to move slowly and quietly, as if sneaking up on someone. A person who's creepy is someone who's perceived to be eerily quiet in some way, as if there's something behind the scenes that could surprise you in an unpleasant way. Think of a cult leader, serial killer, child molester, or stalker. They all have a dark side brewing that they keep tucked away until the right opportunity comes along. And if you're coming off as creepy, it means you're doing some of the things that strange people often do.
2. Commit to changing your behavior. Those of us who get classified as creeps are often just people who are unapologetically unique. It's easy to feel resentful towards people for labeling you as creepy just because you're not jumping through the same social hoops as everyone else. And this feeling might make you resistant towards changing your behavior. So before you proceed, you have to accept that people judge each other, and sometimes they're off, but that's the way it goes. That's what you have to work with. So don't assume that changing the way you act in order to change people's perception of you is somehow violating your pledge to be yourself. If anything, it increases the likelihood that people can get to know your true self, because you're not warding them off in your first conversation by acting like a sociopath.

* There's an image presented in a lot of media, especially anime and video games, that being standoffish, mysterious, and quiet is "cool". In real life, however, it's more likely to come off as creepy.[1]
* Don't feel that you need to change the way you look or dress. If you can change the way you interact with people, what you look like won't matter.
3. Become a good conversationalist. Awkward silences can very easily turn into creepiness. So can your babbling on and on about your mother, your cat, or your collection of bugs. A good conversationalist keeps finding things they have in common, and they do it in a casual, non-intrusive way. For example, there's a difference between asking someone "Have you ever held a tarantula?" and saying "Have you ever felt the tiny hairs of a tarantula's legs brush up against the palm of your hand?" The latter is more poetic, but way too intimate for a first conversation for most people (and this article presumes you want to learn how to deal with most people, not that tiny minority who's just as quirky and offbeat as you are and will most certainly appreciate your candor). Learn to start a conversation and keep it flowing in a fun, positive and casual way.

* It's worth repeating that you should not go on and on about unique hobbies or interests unless the person shares them or asks a lot of questions. If they only ask a few questions, that doesn't necessarily mean they're interested; it probably means they're being polite, so don't dominate the conversation with your enthusiasm.
4. Let go of any neediness you might have. Neediness is a precursor to obsessiveness, and obsessiveness is creepy. Needy people are imbalanced and unstable people, because their happiness hinges too greatly on someone else. If you're projecting a vibe that you'll be devastated if a person doesn't want to be your friend or romantic partner, it's time slow down, be patient, and examine yourself. Read How to Stop Being Needy.
5. Respect boundaries. This is a key social skill that many mis-labeled creeps are sorely lacking. Think of any kind of relationship as a video game. You start off at the easiest level, and as time goes on and you improve, you go to more difficult levels and achieve a greater sense of satisfaction. When you first meet someone, you're on level 1, and you're not supposed to proceed to level 2 until you get past level 1, and so on. Creeps tend to accidentally skip to level 15. There are a variety of ways in which they do this:

* Staring. Extended, direct eye contact is something lovers usually do. It's something you can do if the person you're talking to is noticeably romantically interested, but even then it's risky because the creep factor is high if you're mistaken. Look someone in the eye while they're talking, but also be sure to pull your gaze away periodically and shift your interest to other things. And check to make sure you don't have a tendency of staring at someone's body (chest, hands, shoes, whatever) even if in admiration or curiosity. In general, you don't want to make someone feel like they're under a microscope.
* Asking personal questions. What's too personal? It depends. Your best bet is to pay attention to other people's conversations. Notice what people feel comfortable talking about when they first meet. See How to Come Up with Good Conversation Topics. Know which topics to steer clear of: romantic experiences, politics, religion, illness or disease, and anything dark like murder or death (this is not the time to explain how the sword you have on your wall was designed to pierce someone's intestines in a particular way).
* Invitations. Don't invite someone into your basement, a cabin in the woods, a warehouse, or to any setting where horror movies often take place. If it's dark and isolated, it can easily become a creepy experience, and the creepy atmosphere might make you seem creepy, too. This kind of invitation also shows that you expect someone to trust you completely, which generally, they shouldn't (no matter how charming you might be; it's just not street smart). If you're going to extend an invitation, make it to a public place where there are plenty of people.
6. Pay attention to body language. Ultimately, everybody has different "standards" for creepiness. What's creepy to one person might be fascinating to another. The only way you can figure this out on a case-by-case basis is by paying attention to signals that a person's ready to go to the next level, or you're making them feel uncomfortable. And you need to do this without staring! It'll take some practice and attentiveness, but once you get a grip on body language, you'll start to account for it subconsciously.

House Training your Dog: Getting it Right the First Time, in No Time.

House training your new puppy can seem a daunting task. It does not have to be that difficult. It is thought that dogs were domesticated from wolves as early as 100,000 years ago, which means we've been living with and around dogs for quite some time. Of course, that's still an awful long time before we had leather couches, Persian carpets, and condominiums!

So it would seem we've got a huge challenge on our hands (or at least on our floors), and are asking for trouble every time we introduce a new dog in to our unfamiliar modern-age "dens." But that's not necessarily the case. Dogs are INTELLIGENT animals. And, generally, they are CLEAN animals too.

They don't want a mess any more than you do. Most of all, they are loyal and devoted. They don't want to upset the one person who matters most in their lives - you.

I'll never forget the day I took home my first adopted dog, a Labrador and Rottweiler mix named Lea, who had been given up by its owners. She was a truly gorgeous animal, and the day I found her at the dog shelter she was just sitting in the middle of her kennel, the only quiet dog amid a concert of barking kennel mates. She looked at me with that perfect dog eye contact, as if to say "Well, it's about time!"

I was fresh out of school and had no idea what "submissive urination" and "separation anxiety" were, but these were the problems - along with a few others I don't recall - that I was warned about when I took her home three days later. At the shelter, they also told me that they were not sure exactly how old the puppy was (they estimated eight or 10 months), and they were not sure what training, if any, she had.

In my mind, I had taken home an adorable fur ball that could do no wrong. I soon found out that I had an un-trained dog that came with seemingly endless weeks of accidents inside the house (once when I was away she relieved herself right on a book I was reading!) It's not that I didn't get it all sorted in the end. I did, and I wound up with an incredibly intelligent and reliable companion. It's just that when I was trying to train her, a lot of the stuff I tried - and a lot of the frustration I endured - didn't feel right at the time. And it wasn't.

I didn't know nearly enough to train her properly from the start, and the consequence was a lot of stress and confusion for both owner and pet, and a training period that took much, much longer than it ever should have.

Since then, I have not only helped myself by learning effective and lasting methods for house training that I apply with every dog I adopt, but as a practicing dog trainer, I have also helped countless others house train new members of their family. Whether they are new puppies straight from the store or breeder, adopted dogs with a difficult history, or simply adult dogs who have fallen back on bad habits, I have helped these owners meet the challenge of house training by sharing the necessary knowledge and experience.

Accidents will happen. But not for very long, provided you follow the RIGHT PROGRAM for your dog and your situation. with the right program you will learn:

1) How to PUT AND END TO your puppy or adult dog's indoor ACCIDENTS, and how to better COMMUNICATE with your dog in the process. 2) Why the most COMMON REACTION to accidents is also the LEAST CORRECT. 3) Why the GREATEST RISK is often not a matter of whether or not your puppy will learn, but rather how much CONFUSION AND STRESS your training methods may cause. 4) Why "CONFINEMENT" doesn't mean the same thing to you as it does to your dog. 5) How even positive reinforcement (the way you pet your dog) can be physically intimidating if not done properly. 6) Which PRODUCTS may help you in the house training process, and which may be a waste of your money.

You owe it to yourself and your new addition to check out the proper way to train you both! Get a Secrets to Dog Training 6 Day Course FREE by visiting:

Use Photoshop to Put a Tattoo on a Body

Photoshop is an amazing tool to fix or edit pictures. It is also a great way to add things to photos as well. One way to "test drive" a tattoo is to edit a photograph of yourself to see what it'd look like on you. This is also a good way to freak out someone who doesn't want you to get a tattoo. Send them a picture you made with these instructions--they'll think it's real! Here are your steps:

1. Open Photoshop Element 7. 2. Go to open -> file and open the image you will be pasting the tattoo onto. 3. Go to open -> file and open the image you will be using as the tattoo. 4. Go to select at the top of your screen and select all then copy (Ctrl C). 5. Go to the bottom of your screen and double click on your background image (the picture you will paste the tattoo onto). 6. Paste (Ctrl V) the tattoo onto the image. 7. Go to your grab tool and click on the arrow. This will automatically select the image you have pasted and from there, fit the image to the part you'd like to paste it to. 8. Go to the right side of the screen and where it says 'normal' click and select 'multiply'.

Extra Tips:

* Experiment with raster deformation and perspective to adjust the angle and skew of the tattoo. Not all photo subjects are going to perfectly line up squarely. * 'Multiply' will only work if the background is white. If this is not the case, try other blending modes. 'Screen' will make black invisible.

How to Fix Debt Problems

If you have debt problems, you know that they can be something that takes your life and turns it into something that you might not even be able to recognize. Having debt problems is something that can take a regular life and make it a complete mess, and this happens very quickly, it might seem. In fact, most people spiral out of control until they have no idea how they got there or how to get out. No one wants to be in debt, and there are several ways that you can help yourself deal with your debt problems before they deal with you in a way that doesn't benefit you at all.

The best way that you can deal with debt problems is to make sure that you are organized. This is the first step in making sure that your debt problems are taken care of. You have to be sure that you know what each of your bills are, and how much you currently owe on each of them. This is something that is very important for you to be sure of, because if you aren't making sure that you have all of your debt problems organized, it is going to be much harder for you to fix them down the line. So, the first step is always to make sure that you are as organized as possible when it comes to fixing your debt problems.

Next, you have to come up with a plan to make sure that you can pay each of your bills on time each month. This is because you are going to find that if you don't' pay your bills on time each month you will end up with way more bills than you can handle. Most of the big bill and credit card companies are going to attach huge fees that you will find yourself having to pay if you can't pay your bills on time, and you don't' want to have to pay them because they are only going to add to your debt. So, the first thing that you should do is make sure that you are paying your bills on time.

Next, you have to be sure that you are paying as much as you can each month for your debts. This should be at least the minimum amount due each month, and everything extra that you can do, even if it is only 5 or 10 dollars extra, is going to reduce your debt and give you more points on your credit.

So remember, you need to get yourself organized first, and once you have done this, you have to be sure that you are going to be able to pay each of your bills on time each month. Also, you have to be sure that you can pay the minimum amount due and more if you can. These are great ways to help you with your debt problems and ways that you can always ensure you will have great looking credit for future purchases. The better your credit looks, the less you will have to pay.

How To Generate a Strong Password

A password is your first and last line of defense in computer security. Typically people choose bad passwords because they are easy to remember. However, you wouldn't leave the door to your home unlocked because it is too much of a hassle to unlock it before you open the door, would you? A weak password is the same thing.

Using words that appear in a dictionary, in any language, make cracking your password that much easier. Adding numbers to dictionary words doesn't increase the password's strength at all if it is based on a dictionary word. Even with character replacements like capital letters and non-alphanumeric symbols, you're not getting a stronger password.

A true strong password should consist of 7 or more characters and be part of a "passphrase". A passphrase consists of a phrase that has special meaning to you, therefore making it easier to remember. For example:

Mickey Mouse for President. It would be awesome!

One simple approach to create a better password is to take the first letter of each word in your passphrase, giving you:

mmfpiwba

That looks seemingly random, and it's a fairly hard password to crack. But why not make it harder by using the punctuation from the sentence?

mmfp.iwba!

Now that is a much harder password to crack. Why stop there, though? Let's make it even stronger by capitalizing some letters and adding numbers.

MM4P.Iwba!

Now you have truly difficult password to crack; but is still fairly easy to remember. To make it even stronger, you can salt it with non-alphanumeric character replacements for greater difficulty. For example, replacing an "a" with a "@" leaving you with:

MM4P.Iwb@!

How to Combat Jetlag

Millions of people suffer everyday from jetlag. It is estimated that it takes your body one whole day for every hour of time zone you cross to adjust. if you fly from coast to coast that means it may take you three days to adjust. More than likely, by that time, you will be getting ready to go home. This means you will have to go through the whole adjustment period all over again.

There are some quick tips for dealing with jetlag. You do not need to have a doctor prescribe you medications to conquer this issue. Even though this is a rather annoying, uncomfortable feeling, you can diminish the effects all naturally. Some tips for jetlag prevention:

*Use Melatonin. Taking 1-3 mg of melatonin 30 minutes prior to bedtime will help reset your clock much faster. Sublingual (under the tongue) tablets appear to work better than tablets and capsules. Your dose can vary depending on your specific needs. Melatonin use should start 3-5 days prior to your trip and continue for the same number of days upon your return.

*Change your schedule prior to leaving. Go to bed later and wake up later prior to heading West and reverse the process for heading East. Again, coast to coast will cause jetlag in most people.

*Avoid caffeine. This might be a quick fix but it will backfire in the long run. What this means is that you should consider carefully if this is the avenue you wish to take. If caffeine is a part of your daily staple, doing without will only cause other issues once you take care of the jetlag.

*Get moving. Make sure you get some physical activity the first day or two of travel. this may be all you need to avoid a problem with jetlag.

While these are just some quick tips to prevent jetlag, should you become afflicted, there are some very easy all natural remedies to help you. Contact your local health store for the best option for you.

How To Apply Mineral Make-up

Applying mineral makeup can be easy if you simply know the steps. You can give yourself a natural glow in as little as 3 minutes a day!

* Always apply light layers, add gradually to ensure coverage.
* Multi-purposes your minerals - use blush for lips, use bronzer for eyeshadow...this reduces application time further.
* Always use a finishing spritz to complete your look and refresh through the day.

1. Moisturizing Base Prep: Always prepare your face for mineral makeup with a light moisturizing mineral prep cream or lotion. Adding a base will improve the acceptance of the minerals and will make the application of powders and foundations easier resulting in a smooth, healthy finish.
Some moisture prep creams can even calm and sooth the skin, blot away excess oil, and even out your skin tone.

2. Foundation: Take your Kabuki (short fat brush) and lightly swirl into your pressed base foundation color.
Apply foundation to your face by lightly burnishing the color all over your face and neck. You want to avoid only having color on your face and nothing on your neck. Nothing worse than when your neck is white and your face is tan!
Be sure to apply light layers, don't apply too heavy, you can add layers of color if you want more coverage, key is to keep your look very natural.

3. Concealing problem areas. I recommend a product called Crystal Fusion, which is an illuminating liquid crystal. It comes in container similar to a bottle of mascara, and is applied like lip gloss. My favorite trick is to place a small bit of the crystals on the inside lid of my foundation. Use your concealer brush to mix together with your lighter foundation color, this will create a creamy concealing cream.
Apply this combination any where you want to cover dark circles, small lines or cracks.

4. Bronzer: To add a sun-kissed healthy glow, use your brush blush to lightly apply your bronzer across your cheeks and nose. Adding bronzer around your hairline and under your chin can also be done to further contour your face and a healthy glow.

5. Eye Color: To quickly highlight your eyes, use your lightest eyeshadow and apply under your brow. Next take your medium shade and sweep across your eye lid and into your crease. Your darkest shades can be applied wet and used as eyeliner if you would like a more dramatic effect.
The old application method of putting darkest shades in your crease are no longer the norm for an all natural look, but can be added for an evening look if you prefer.

6.Mascara: Mascara can make or break your look. To maintain a natural everyday look simply apply a small amount of mascara on your upper lashes.

7.Finish your look with your finishing or setting spray. All mineral makeup last longer and sets more effectively when you use a neroli mist or oxygenating spray. PLUS, by keeping this spray in your purse, you can refresh your minerals throughout the day without the need to re-apply more.

Now, 3 minutes later, your natural face has been applied, time to share your new look with the world!
