For Skinny Guys Who Want to Pick Up Chicks
By Cheng Kee
You return to sit with your mates, tail between your legs, and feeling the coldness of the girls’ shoulders having been shot down again. Your mates are half-consolatory, half-relieved that they didn’t try chatting up the girls. Why doesn’t anyone seem to be noticing that you’ve been working out? Your muscle routine worked for a while, you can see the results in the mirror, but it disappears once you put a shirt on. You need more muscle. You can get it if you have more of three things in your muscle routine.

Muscle Routine Requirement #1: High Intensity, Heavy Weights

There are many different ways that people use weights. Some females lift light weights to burn off fat to tone their arms, some people use weights for cardio. If you want to gain lean muscle, you want to lift heavy weights at a high intensity. This will force your muscles to grow bigger so that they are able to withstand the force that’s applied to them when you work out. It’s sort of like being in a room full of people who talk about golf. You leave the room, feeling like you know that much more about golf, more than you could have done on your own. It takes an external force sometimes to help things grow faster.

Muscle Routine Requirement #2: Sleep.

You sleep to recover from a workout, yes, but what you might not know is that you also sleep to allow your muscle to grow after a significantly high intensity workout. Try viewing your muscle workout as parabolic curve: you start and keep climbing and climbing, until you hit the maximum. If you keep on working out beyond the top, you will decrease the amount of muscle you put on. You have to stop working out once you hit that maximum point (muscle overload) and sleep so that your muscles can grow. Only then will you be able to “climb bigger mountains”.

Muscle Routine Requirement #3: Food.

Everyone knows to some extent the crazy amount of food that bodybuilders eat to supply enough energy for their workout needs. Fortunately, don’t have to eat like them to gain lean muscle. All you have to do is focus on readily absorbable protein-rich foods. The most readily absorbable ones are natural fruits and legumes. The notorious raw egg drink is the preferred choice of many bodybuilders because of its fast absorption. Don’t go for supplements… yet. Consult some experts who know what they’re talking about before being hypnotized by the fitness industry into buying the next best miracle supplement.

A good muscle routine should contain information about these three things in quite a lot of detail. You should now have an idea why your muscle routine was not helping you capitalize on your body. If someone talks about food, sleep and high intensity weight lifting, you know they’re the ones to reach for your muscle gain issues. Now get looking for a good muscle routine! Unless you like being female repellent, that is.

Confident men have optimised muscle routine programs. Their bodies are testimonies to the hard work they’ve put into their bodies; their success with women is attributed to a powerful self-perception of their body. Being skinny doesn’t mean you’re doomed to a single life, these three men didn’t let it get to them. They conquered the obstacles that were preventing them from building lean muscle and share it daily with thousands of hopeful hardgainers who realize they can finally gain lean muscle properly.

Honeymoon Lingerie For an Unforgettable Wedding Night
By Robert Keating
Just having been married, your first night together as man and wife is one you will both not want to forget. Surprise your new husband by choosing the perfect honeymoon lingerie. Go for something that will heat things up and keep things interesting.

If you are looking for the traditional honeymoon lingerie you should select shades of white. The more daring bride would be more likely to select something black. In this modern world it is not all about black and white, your wedding night should not be either. Be brave and put some color into the night with the newer shades and styles of wedding night lingerie. Remember you are selecting lingerie that you and your new hubby will both love on this special night, and for years to come.

Shades of Lingerie to get Noticed

When the time comes to buy your honeymoon lingerie think about what is your favorite color? Is it midnight blue, salmon pink or fire engine red? You will discover that honeymoon lingerie comes in all the shades of the rainbow today, so that you can find the pieces that will best complement your complexion and coloring. Nowadays, the most popular colors for bridal lingerie appear to be turquoise and red, but other choice colors include soft greens and pinks and powdery lilacs. Brunettes can go bright and bold, and blondes can opt for the deceivingly innocent pastels. Black looks good on just about anyone, and tends to be a favorite of many grooms.

Lingerie Styles that Excite

There is a huge choice of lingerie for the modern bride. This makes it challenging and fun at the same time when shopping for your lingerie to wear on the wedding night and honeymoon vacation. The endless options can also make the shopping experience confusing if you are a novice to the world of lingerie. It helps if you have an idea of what some of the lingerie terms mean before you hit the shopping mall or your favorite online lingerie site.

Most Popular Lingerie Styles for the honeymoon

Camisoles with matching panties are one of the styles that are most popular for bridal lingerie. The chemise can offer a little more coverage as it is similar to the camisole but a bit longer in length. The baby doll is shorter than a chemise and flares out from the hips for a cute, playful look. You will quite often get a baby doll and panties set.

When it comes to shopping for your honeymoon lingerie, keep in mind that you might not want to stop with just one outfit. What better excuse is there to spoil yourself with several sexy lingerie sets to wear during your honeymoon. I am sure your new husband will appreciate the effort you make in looking special each night of the honeymoon.

Go ahead and be creative. After the first night with some more traditional lingerie you may want to spice things up with some super sexy outfits for the bedroom. When you are ready to select your honeymoon lingerie you have the choice of shopping online or going to your local lingerie shop. Browsing online can give you a good idea of what is available and help make the shopping experience more pleasant.

When it comes to reading about honeymoon lingerie and actually seeing the lingerie the visual version wins hands down. Now that you are ready to start selecting your honeymoon lingerie head over to view Lingerie and Sexy Clothes

Are You Investing in This Slumping Economy? Why Wouldn’t You?
By James Kobzeff
Monday on “Your World w/Neil Cavuto” (Fox News, Oct. 6, 2008) Donald Trump announced that he is not slowing down his real estate investing activity during our slumping economy. On the contrary, Trump made it clear there are good real estate opportunities to be had at “fire sale” prices that real estate investors should capture.

So how are you reacting to this financial chaos? Are you investing, or has this uncertain financial market got you frozen in your tracks? If you are frozen, you might be missing one of the best opportunities to invest in real estate that we have had in a long time. Consider this:

1. There are numerous “fire sale” deals available for real estate property throughout the United States

2. Interest rates are still generally favorable

3. Our economy will survive, so it’s just a matter of time before your investment in real estate is worth more than you pay for it by virtue of a greater demand for it

This is not the time to bury your money under a mattress. Yes, it’s comforting to be able to put your hands on it quickly, and perhaps like Donald Duck’s eccentric Uncle Scrooge, be able to roll around in it, but it will cost you big time. Inflation alone will devalue your money; your money won’t be worth as much next year as this year.

Here’s a better suggestion.

First, develop an investing plan. Then locate a real estate professional in your area that understands income-producing property and has a track record for investment property sales and build a relationship. Let him or her know what your investment objectives are and have them start looking for profitable investment opportunities.

If you know enough about the nuances of real estate investing and have a good understanding of your local real estate market, great. Then start kicking the bushes yourself.

The point is not to neglect doing something. This slumping financial market is unnerving, certainly, but our economy will survive and bounce back and what you invest into today will make you money tomorrow. If you have the financial means to invest in real estate without jeopardizing your welfare, then this is not the time to run for cover and hide. Instead, follow in the tracks of the Donald, during this slumping economy, look for, pursue, and seize investment opportunities with abandon.

Have Thank You Notes Died With Emily Post?
By Jackie Trottmann
My eighteen year old son just graduated from high school - a milestone. He is fortunate to have two grandmothers still alive along with a grand-father through my second marriage and many proud aunts and uncles. With the graduation came some nice celebratory gifts. Before I could get the words out of my mouth he said with a drone, “Yes, Mom, I know, I am going to send thank you notes.” He actually went out and purchased cards appropriate to the given personalities of each person with a personal hand-written note.

In this world of instant messaging, text messaging, emailing, etc., it is on rare occasions to write or receive thank you notes. If there is one single thing that you can do to set yourself apart from the pack in business, it’s to write thank you notes.

Don’t just take it from me. The website CareerBuilder.com just conducted a recent survey. When interviewing for a possible position 15% of hiring managers rejected a job applicant who failed to send a follow up thank you. 32% said that they would consider those not sending a thank you note but that their opinion of him or her would diminish. 23% preferred a hand written note.

My mother always taught me to send thank you notes. Being in the industry of sales, I was surprised to learn that hardly any of my colleagues sent thank you notes.

While Emily Post may not physically be with us anymore, as an icon when it comes etiquette, thankfully, her legacy lives on through her family members and The Emily Post Institute to bring our world some semblance of manners.

Let me tell you a personal story about the power of a thank you. Our house was in need of being painted on the outside. It’s an older home with a stucco finish. When the painter gave us the bid he proceeded to tell us that our wooden windows were in such bad shape that he recommended having them replaced because the cost associated with scraping, repairing and painting would be a waste of money. We contacted a replacement window company that advertised regularly on the radio. They happened to be having a sale and we went to the showroom. Summer was coming to an end and we wanted the windows installed before winter. We decided right on the spot to plunk down the rather large investment required to replace every window. The sales representative was wonderful and even gave us an additional 10% off because of a special sale they were having the next day on top of the 40% discount we received. Walking away from the showroom we felt a dread come over us. While we felt that we did well, we hadn’t shopped around and made a substantial impulse purchase without doing a lot of homework. A few days later, a thank you note came in the mail. That was a nice touch. What was really amazing though was what happened after we came home after running some errands. A few days later, we had a message on our phone. When we retrieved the message it was from the president of the window company personally thanking us for our purchase and for choosing them. Wow! Did we feel great! Any buyer’s remorse we felt went, well, out the window! The installation went as planned and the difference it has made in our home is wonderful. All of the attributes about the windows that the sales person talked to us about, energy saving, quiet, easy to open, easy to clean, etc. are all true. But I have to tell you, it was the phone call from the president that put me more at ease.

Here’s a little idea for you this year. Instead of being buried in a sea of Christmas cards, send a Thanksgiving card this year. How many Thanksgiving cards do you receive in the mail?

This small gesture will make a huge difference in being remembered.
