Religions of Early Man | Socyberty

We can never know the thought process of our early ancestors or how their opinions were formed. It must have been like coming out of darkness when the first inkling of themselves and the world around them appeared. Being at the mercy of fierce animals and the elements had to be unspeakably frightening. It’s no wonder they turned to superstition beliefs for protection..

The Cost of Freedom | Socyberty

The cost of freedom is paid with the lives of our young men and women. Many of them lay down their lives for the freedoms we take for granted every day. We can never repay our fallen heroes, or the parents, partners and children who are left behind. Let us be mindful today, on Memorial day, of their devotion and sacrifice. And let us never forget the cost of freedom.

How to Buy a Used Car and Not Get Ripped Off | Quazen

Buying a used car will save you money if you know how to get the best deal. Used car salespeople are often sneaky and if they can get a lemon off on you or add on extra expenses they will. So be prepared to negotiate and don’t be afraid to ask pertinent questions. If you feel you aren’t getting the best deal walk away. You can always find another used car lot or come back another day. Ask the car dealer to use the blue book to determine the value for the car you’re interested in buying and for any car you are trading in.

How to Write Articles | Writinghood

Writing articles takes very little talent but it does require a lot of hard work. It isn’t always fun but reading your finished article is where the pleasure comes in.

How to Mend From a Broken Relationship | Socyberty

Whether you are looking for a new love or fantastic people to share your life with, you can get over the emotional ride of a broken relationship. At the beginning you might consider dating as much fun as a root canal but you can burst through that attitude and come out on the other side. Don’t even think about "all the good ones are taken" it isn’t so. There are still plenty of fish in the sea. Work on yourself to make yourself a person you can be happy with, and don’t jump into another relationship quickly.

Develop a Happy Attitude | Quazen

When you think about happiness, take a pass on perfection, it’s not going to happen. Striving to be a perfect wife, mother or employee is going to make you miserable. Striving for contentment is equally unrealistic. Psychologists describe happiness as a sense of well being or satisfaction with your life. If you constantly choose lofty ideals over meaningless fun, you are likely to come up empty. It takes a combination of the two for happiness.

Diet and Portion Sizes for Your Overweight Child | Healthmad

Portion size is the main consideration in healthy eating. Even healthy food will add weight if eaten in large quantities.

What to Do with Unwanted Items | Gomestic

What should you do with unwanted items? There is almost always someone who will take your unwanted items and make good use of them. Rather than filling up the landfills, it’s much better to have those items continue to be useful for others. Next time you think of throwing something away. Take time to check and see if someone else would be happy to have it.

Temptation Foods, Portion Sizes and Free Foods | Healthmad

Temptation foods (and we know what they are) should not be brought into the house. If your child asks, you don’t have it. Stock your refrigerator and pantry with healthy food choices to avoid your overweight child being tempted by food high in sugar and fat. A piece of fruit or low fat yogurt is a good option for a midmorning or afternoon snack. Your child can eat as much as he wants of free foods. Serve these in plenty. Serving sizes and calorie count follow.

Friday, May 20, 2011

We throw many things that are still usable and then buy something else to replace it. This is a waste of energy and our money. Before you throw anything away, take a careful look at it and see if there is any way you can continue to use it. You can repaint furniture and rethink it’s usefulness. Maybe someone you know could use it. If all else fails, donate it to the thrift store.

Know Your Child’s Calorie Needs | Healthmad

Your child needs a certain amount of calories for growth and health, any more is stored as fat. That’s why portion control and activity is so important. Learn about calories and nutrition and prepare those preferred foods for your family meals. Avoid sugary and fatty foods. They lead to high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and overweight.. Remember that one soft drink contains 16 tablespoons of sugar.

Exercise for Your Inactive Child | Healthmad

This is a plan to get your inactive child moving. There are many fun activities that can be substituted for inactive ones. You might have to lock away the video games and put away the CDs and computer to get his attention. An inactive child can learn to like all fun activities. If he or she is already overweight he will be awkward at the beginning of the program but as he loses weight he or she will be a happier, healthier child. It’s worth the effort to give your child a healthier life.

A New Lifestyle For Overweight Kids | Healthmad

Philip Morris Denies Responsibility | Socyberty

As usual the tobacco companies forge on to make billions more off sick and addicted people. Not only that but young people take up the habit every day to add to the coffers. It’s interesting how people lay out money for cigarettes, a product that sickens and destroys health, and complain about the price of gas. An addicted person is hardly responsible for his actions. Addiction takes over any sense of right or wrong. Be that as it may, tobacco companies are happy to take the money.

Watch Out Colleges Here They Come | Socyberty

Our public schools are definitely not doing their job. Too many failing students who struggle through high school with uninspired teachers and little hope of getting into college. Teach for America is doing as much as they can about it. They send whiz kids into the most troubled schools to work with these kids and get them into college. They do an outstanding job, the only problem is, there aren’t enough of them.

Parents allow games, TV and technology to rule the home and kids are are being diagnosed with diseases today that were only found in older adults a few years ago. Heart disease, diabetes and hypertension are only a few of them. It’s up to the parents to use discipline, and setting a good example by providing a healthy lifestyle for the family.

Many artists are hesitant to paint water. Different times of the day, distances and varied surface activity makes painting water a challenge to artists of all capabilities.

Loss of Mexican Laborers Mean Lost Crops | Gomestic

Mexican workers come here every year on the guest-worker program, which is legal but many more are here illegally. Illegals take a great toll on schools, jails, hospitals and welfare programs.

How to Compose a Painting of Water | Quazen

Composing a painting might seem like a simple thing, after all, you look at the scene and paint it. It isn’t that easy. A lot of thought must go into good composition. You must choose your scene and create a pathway (that your viewer doesn’t see) to draw him into the picture. You must take into account the horizon, distance and focal point and the emphasis on the water. It’s a very important part of painting so spend time on composition.

Learn How to Paint Water | Quazen

Water expresses itself in many ways. It can be dark and brooding. It can be frivolous and filled with light. It can babble and chatter, or be filled with heavy crashing waves. That’s why artists have difficulty painting water. It has so many facets it’s hard to get a handle on. What we must learn is to look and see. We have preconceived ideas about how things should look and that’s our downfall with painting. Most of our preconceived ideas are wrong.

Osama Bin Laden Taken Out | Socyberty

Our Navy Seals did it and without losing a man. Osama bin Laden is past history. One of the most vicious terrorists is no more. He set himself up as the chosen one to rid the world of all infidels or non believers. He managed to hide out for years under the protection of the Taliban but they couldn’t save him in the end. This powerful crusader’s last action was holding a wife in front of him as a human shield.
