6 Healthy Habits You Should Start Following Today To Avoid Any Disease


(The following is for entertainment purposes only)

(Yahoonews) - The only person who can truly take care of your health is you. In today’s world of ever increasing pollution, stressful workloads and erratic time schedules, diseases and health related problems are at their peak. For keeping these diseases away, you need to modify your lifestyle and adapt healthy habits. So, read on to know all the tricks and tips for a healthy lifestyle.

#1. Have a wholesome breakfast
It is rightly said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast actually means ‘breaking the fast’. It is the first meal of the day after a long gap. Avoiding breakfast will lead to various digestive problems and also make you feel tired throughout the day. So start your day on a fresh and healthy note by eating a nutritious breakfast. Also do not forget to keep your intake of milk and other dairy products sufficient.

#2. Fall in love with your vegetables
Fresh vegetables are a rich source of fiber, essential nutrients and minerals. Adding these to your diet in the form of salads or juices will help to flush out toxins from your body and give your face a healthy glow.

#3. Drink plenty of water
All health and beauty experts emphasise on the importance of drinking water. You must try to drink at least eight to ten glasses of water in a day. Water helps cleanse your body and rejuvenates your skin. Insufficient intake may lead to severe dehydration.
Edit: Only drink water if you're thirsty! Drinking too much water can be bad for your health.

#4. Say no to cigarettes
Smoking not only causes cancer of the lungs and other dreadful health conditions, but also adversely affects your looks. It also harms the health of those who inhale the smoke passively. People who do smoke should quit for a longer and healthier life and also to set a good example for generations to come.

#5. Stay away from heavy fried and junk foods.
Junk foods or fast foods are very rich in spices, oils, trans fats, artificial preservatives and sugars. All these are responsible for causing ailments like high cholesterol, high blood sugar, hypertension and kidney or gall bladder stones. Also, eating fast foods is one of the main reasons behind obesity, especially in children. Instead of feasting on such foods, make an effort to eat a well balanced and nutritious home cooked meal.

#6. Sleep well
Experts suggest that we require at least eight to nine hours of proper uninterrupted sleep. For this you must never take long naps in the afternoon; if you wish to rest in the day take short power naps. Choose a comfortable and inviting mattress for your bed. Avoid a heavy meal at night and never go to bed right after dinner. Make it a point to go on a small walk after dinner so that the food gets digested.

Remember, health is wealth. Do adapt these healthy habits to live a long and healthy life!

Setting Goals for the New Year


= With the new year many people are focused on "resolutions" now for me "resolutions" would be goals set for each month of the year. When I was in Secondary school our English teacher would have us (the class) write in a journal to list goals for the month. I would think of a goal(s) & write them down & hope to accomplish them during the month. If you wanted to do something like clean your bedroom, or floss your teeth the best way to remember was to write them down. By writing something down you are more likely to remember it, believe me it helps. So in order to start your goal setting you'll need: A notebook or binder with paper, a writing utensil (a pen works best) & of course goals. Since it is a brand new month in this case January, what are your goals going to be for the month? How are you going to accomplish them? Think of something that you want or need to do & in your notebook write it down.It may be difficult to think of goals so think of something you want to do & write it down so you won't forget. Now all you have to do it just accomplish your goal! You have the month so don't panic. Even if you missed a goal don't worry there is always the next month to try again; remember you want to accomplish all your written goals the best you can during that month. Write down the small ones and then the bigger ones last, that way you will focus more on the small ones & once those are done you can focus on the bigger ones, but it's totally up to you.

I hope this helps on your resolutions for the new year 2015, if not do something that helps you to accomplish your goals. Remember these are YOUR goals not anybody elses. Until the next post I will see you soon.

Recipe: Pumpkin Better than Sex Cake

A coworker of ours recently left for another job, so to celebrate her farewell one of the co workers make a cake for everyone. The cake was called Pumpkin Better than Sex Cake. Ohhh Scandalous! Anyway it was very tasty & managed to get the recipe & share it with you. So give it a try for your next Thanksgiving or Autumn desert. 

- You've probably heard of Better Than Sex Cake, but have you tried the pumpkin version? Pumpkin Better Than Sex Cake is a delicious pumpkin poke cake made from cake mix, so it's super quick and easy to prepare. The cake mix is combined with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to make a moist cake that's full of fall flavour. Sweetened condensed milk is poured over top, & the cake is covered with whipped topping & Heath toffee bits.

(You can find this recipe through various websites online, like Pinterest)

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix
14 oz pumpkin puree (NOT PUMPKIN PIE FILLING)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
8 oz. tub cool whip
1/2 bag Heath Bits
Caramel Sundae Sauce

Instructions

In a large bowl mix together the cake mix, the pumpkin puree (DO NOT add the other ingredients on the cake mix box), and the pumpkin pie spice until a batter forms. Using the 14 oz. can of pumpkin puree will yield a thicker batter. You can add up to 1 cup more pumpkin if you'd like a thinner batter (which will yield a slightly fluffier cake).

Pour batter into a well greased 9x9 (9x13 if you added more pumpkin) baking dish. Bake at 350ยบ for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let cool completely after baking. Using the bottom of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, aiming to fill the holes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the sweetened condensed milk has soaked into the cake.

Spread the cool whip over top of cake. Sprinkle on the heath bits, and drizzle caramel over top (just to your liking). Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight (best).

Top 10 Ways People Get Ripped Off at the Mattress Store

Conventional wisdom tells us to always try a mattress at the store. The problem is that so many mattress stores have developed sophisticated gimmicks and choreographed routines to manipulate customers who walk in their doors.

Before you plan a visit to a mattress store, reading this could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and countless sleepless nights.

#10 Floor Models – It's easy to think you could save the most buying a model right off the showroom floor. But some stores will sell a "floor model" to a customer in the morning, replace it, and sell another "floor model" to a different customer in the afternoon.

#9 Tempting Offers – If it sounds too good to be true, it is. When an ad says you can get any size for the same price, be very skeptical. Car dealers don't sell sedans for the same price as subcompacts, and mattress stores don't either. Some stores will say anything in their ads to get you to come in, where you'll quickly discover the tempting offers have more strings attached than a basketball hoop.

#8 Low-Price Guarantees – Manufacturers give every store a different name for the same mattress. It's weird but true. It's done to confuse shoppers and makes it impossible to compare prices from store to store. And it becomes the basis for low-price claims. Just remember that stores guaranteeing the lowest price are also guaranteeing the HIGHEST price, since it's not available anywhere else under that name at any price!

#7 Hard Feelings – Nationwide, about 10%-20% of people prefer firm mattresses. The rest prefer a softer (plush) or pillowtop surface. Mattress stores know this, and often advertise their biggest discounts on firm models, knowing most people don't want them. Shoppers coming in response to the advertised discounts have to pay more for one they'll like.

#6 "Free" Can Really Cost You – The commercials offer "Free" frames, box springs, and/or delivery. Not a chance. The free frames are made with flimsy, lightweight materials, often not strong enough to hold your mattress. The promotional box springs usually aren't the ones that belong in the set, they won't last and they will void the product warranty. Free delivery might mean just to the curb; it will cost extra to bring it in. Truck drivers don't work for free.

#5 Financing – In recent years, mattress advertising has become dominated by finance offers. Sleep Now and Pay Later!! Just like credit card companies, some stores make more money from interest and penalties on their financing plans than they do from merchandise sales. Customers who slip on a single payment are on the hook retroactively to the date of purchase, at APR rates pushing 30%.

#4 New and Used – It may be a crime to remove the tags from your mattress, but few states have laws stopping stores from re-selling used mattresses as new. With such expensive returns or exchanges, it's tempting for stores to clean, re-bag, and put them back into "new" inventory.

#3 Feeling Misled – The primary reason most shoppers go to the store is to feel the exact product they're getting. But often, the mattress that's delivered (weeks later) doesn't feel the same. The standard store answer is the mattresses in the showroom have already been "broken in" by other shoppers, begging the question of why they put such an emphasis on trying them at the store in the first place.

#2 Markup and Markdown – Have you ever wondered how mattress stores can afford to run so many "half-price sales"? They can't. If you double the price, then offer "50% Off," that's not really a deal at all. It's just a big deception to create the appearance of savings. Very few states have laws restricting the use of sale terms, even when it's never been sold at the "regular" price.

#1 Do Your Research – Savvy shoppers investigate products and read reviews online before buying. But few investigate the store. Some store chains have deplorable records for customer complaints, and even fraud. Check the Better Business Bureau online at bbb.org (choose the "Phone, URL, Email" tab to quickly find the headquarters).
There You Go
.

So now you know some of the ways that mattress chains, department stores, and furniture showrooms rip off their customers. (Sadly, there are plenty more that don't make the top 10.)

How to Take a Joke (9 Steps)

- Fun is fun. But when the joke's on you, sometimes it's hard to know how to react, respond, and continue having a good time. If you want to know how to take a joke, then you have to learn to stay calm, be more easygoing, and understand that it comes from a good place. But if the joke is really meant to hurt you, then it's time to stand up for yourself. Keep reading for detailed instructions on how to take a joke after the jump.

Steps

1. Just laugh. Try to remember that most jokes are good-natured attempts at being funny. Sometimes, we take the cheapest route to funny, and usually that takes the form of taking a shot at someone. If the shot's aimed at you, try to remember that person is just trying to be funny - it's probably about him more than about you.

2. Control your temper. It's a bad idea to respond to a joke with anger. Calm yourself and tell yourself over and over that you do not need to be angry.

3. Ignore it. If you are offended by the joke, ignore it. Don't laugh at it. If the joker says, "Oh (your name), you can't take a joke!" just ignore it. You can actually end up having a bit of a laugh on him or her just by looking confused and saying something like, "Oh, was that a joke? Huh." Showing the others that you didn't get the humor there can give you a little leg up on the joker without making you look like a jerk. 

4. Try to remember, most of the stuff they say isn't to hurt you. Jokes are about just trying to have fun. Instead of getting mad about it, you can even laugh along and join in, and even add your own joke about that person, or even continue the joke on yourself (you look like an excellent sport, and as a bonus, others think you are very confident when you do so). But only do it for fun, not as a form of revenge on the instigator.

5. Express your feelings calmly. Sometimes, you feel that enough is enough, or you just aren't in the mood to be the butt of a joke. If you feel that you just can't take anymore, or you find yourself boiling up inside,then tell the person how you feel, and chances are she/he will understand. 

6. Consider the source. Some people make inane jokes simply because they like to hear themselves talk. Some people have the wrong idea that all insults are funny, and so they insult you, and the insult may or may not even be true. Saying a joke that obviously isn't really true is just a lie - example: "You're like a dumb blond." Know that you are not whatever negative things said; if you know you aren't a dumb blond, whatever is said is meaningless.

7. Smile and play along (sometimes). There are a few scenarios where this response might be appropriate, such as at school when those making the jokes don't know you well, or don't realize they're annoying you. At times, if you can show yourself to be a gracious good sport, you can win respect from those making the comments, and make new friends out of the deal. Another scenario where this is a good response is when you actually do something funny to prompt the joke, such as spilling water on yourself. Everyone will laugh and some doofus will turn around and say, "Oh, check it out - taking a swim!" or some other nonsense, as if you weren't already embarrassed and uncomfortable enough. But instead of getting mad, realize that you will still be wet whether or not you can just relax and get over it. Laugh, point at the wet spot and say, "D'oh! And I left my beach towel at home." The others will laugh along, and you'll have had the last laugh. Bonus points for turning to the prettiest girl (or handsomest guy) in the room with a little eyebrow wiggle and suggestive smile, and saying, "Can I borrow yours?" 

8. Be easygoing. Going with the flow of things is often the best way to deal with idiots. There are a lot of (especially young) people who haven't really understood the finer points of real humor. They find "random" things and insults funny, and so say "random" things and insult people without realizing that a random response is only funny in those circumstances where a remark is made that is totally unexpected, or that an insult is only funny if it isn't so pointed that it hurts someone. The best way to handle these people is to laugh along a little bit, and then find ways to adjust their attempts at humor (by making your own, better jokes).

9.  Don't be a doormat. There's a difference between being a nice, easygoing person who can take a joke, and being a doormat. If someone is always using you for a punching bag, it gets old. You will need to speak up for yourself. If this is necessary, try taking the person aside and saying, "Hey man, I've been a good sport for a while, but it's getting old. The things you're saying are hurting me. Please, stop. Don't choose someone else to pick on, just stop." If s/he gets defensive and/or continues to pick on you, don't bother trying to keep it between the two of you any longer. Stand right up in front of everyone and say, "You know, when I talked to you about this privately, I thought I made it clear that I am tired of you picking on me. I told you it hurts my feelings, and now it's just making me mad. Please stop it." It's a virtual guarantee that s/he'll be mortified that you called him or her out in front of everyone. Either s/he'll mumble an apology and leave you alone, or pick on you again. This time, you won't have to do anything— everyone else will jump to your defense, because you'll have made your discomfort known. If they don't, consider finding better friends. 

Tips
  • Read up on jokes - if it's an actual joke (i. e., a specific blond joke) directed at you it always helps to have heard the joke a billion times before, and possibly be able to say the punchline before someone else does. That will either amuse the person, or show him or her that joking about you is pointless.
  • If all else fails, try saying, "I got the bullseye tonight - all right. Go ahead, do your worst." Let this person make his or her jokes. Then say, "Is that it? Is that all you got?" Hopefully, this person gets the point that you've had enough. If the jabs continue, walk away with a smile, and a shake of your head that tells everyone watching that some people just don't know when to quit. You will end up looking better out of it than the other guy.
  • Always try to blow it off at first. If it continues, you can talk to the perpetrator.
  • A smile and a mock expression of affront are a great defense.
Warnings

Be able to tell the difference between a joke and bullying. Sometimes, very offensive jokes or slurs are enough, and should be dealt with in a positive manner. Do not let them get the best of you, if telling them about it leads to more "joking", ignore them and get some help.
  • Be aware that sometimes it's best to just walk away from certain situations. Standing up for yourself, unfortunately, may make you an even bigger target if there's a serious bully involved.

How To Use a Douche

(Excerpt) Using a douche can be scary & potentially dangerous, so it's important that you know how to use one correctly before you attempt to insert it into your egg hole. A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons. Doctors highly recommended that you use a douche no more than once a month, as it can potentially unbalance your egg hole & cause your yolk to taste like an egg salad sandwich. Goodluck.

How to play tic tac toe

Tic Tac Toe (also known as Noughts and Cross) is a simple and fun game that can be played almost anywhere & anytime.

Equipment
Paper and pencil.
Goal
The goal of Tic Tac Toe is to be the first player to get three in a row on a 3x3 grid, or four in a row in a 4x4 grid.

Da Rules:

Prepare for the game by drawing the number symbol; # (3X3 or 4x4 table of squares)  
  
The first person chooses to use either X's or O's. These symbols will be placed on the table, in the attempt to have three of them in a row.
 
The players take turns putting their symbol on the table.

 The first player to have 3 of their symbols in a row, whether it is horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, is the winner.

Other rules:

Playing Tic Tac Toe on a 3x3 Board
X always goes first.
Players alternate placing Xs and Os on the board until either (a) one player has three in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally; or (b) all nine squares are filled.
If a player is able to draw three Xs or three Os in a row, that player wins.
If all nine squares are filled and neither player has three in a row, the game is a draw.

Playing Tic Tac Toe on a 4x4 Board
X always goes first.
Players alternate placing Xs and Os on the board until either (a) one player has four in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally; or (b) all 16 squares are filled.
If a player is able to draw four Xs or four Os in a row, that player wins.
If all 16 squares are filled and neither player has four in a row, the game is a draw.

Tips & warnings.
The center space is arguably the best one to get first
sitting in an outside middle square can be a bad move if you have a clever opponent.
It's said to be a "cats game" when no one wins.


Other Variants
Tic Tac Toe can be also be played on a 5x5 grid with each player trying to get five in a row.
The game can also be played on larger grids, such as 10x10 or even 20x20. For any grid of 6x6 or larger, I recommend sticking to a goal of getting five in a row. This turns the basic game of Tic Tac Toe into a much more complex game with similarities to Pente.

10 Tricky Interview Questions and How To Answer Them.

Do job interviews make you nervous? Scared of being asked a question you don’t know how to answer? Don’t stress; practice! Preparing for tough interview questions ahead of time will help you respond with confidence and enthusiasm during the real thing. This article presents 10 tricky interview questions with example answers to help you master the interview and get the job.

First off, interviews are not how we normally communicate with people. It is a very structured, formal process, because the employer has a limited time period for interviews to take place. It might seem to you like their questions are meant to trip you up on purpose; in reality, they are designed to help them decide if you are a good fit for the company and whether or not to make an offer of employment to you. Interviewing is a skill that requires practice to master, and it starts by knowing what kinds of questions are asked.


There are two flavors of interview questions: standard and behavioral. Standard interview questions are self-explanatory and straightforward, such as, “Tell me about yourself” and “Why do you want this job?” Behavioral (sometimes called “situational”) questions are more difficult and require you to recall a specific work-related example from your past that makes you qualified for the present position.
Although you won’t know exactly what the interview questions will be, it helps to write down a list of your strengths, skills, and accomplishments, and then think of situations where you demonstrated them, so that they will be fresh in your mind.

Keep in mind that there isn’t a right or wrong answer to a behavioral question. The interviewer is most interested in how you answer, to determine how you will react or behave under certain circumstances. This lets them see if you are a good fit within the company’s culture. During the interview, take time to think about your answer before responding, and ask the interviewer to repeat or clarify the question if you don’t understand. Be specific in your response, but try to deliver it in about 60 seconds.

Hints for Homeowners: Readying a Home for Sale

(The following was taken from a local real estate guide. I am not a real estate expert or claim to be an expert on the subject, so make your own evaluations in regard to the information provided. Thanks.)

When it comes to selling a home, curb appeal plays a big role. In real estate, it's typical to ignore the old adage "Don't judge a book by it's cover" & keep driving if you see a home for sale that doesn't instantly catch your eye. As important as curb appeal can be, it's no more or less important than what's on the inside of a home. After all, if what's on the inside doesn't match or exceed what's on the outside, chances of a sale are slim. For those about to put their house on the market, consider the following tips for ensuring your home's interior is as appealing as its exterior.

- Store some furniture or bulky items: This is often referred to as "staging" wherein a homeowner removes furniture or other items in an effort to make a home appear more spacious to prospective buyers. It's perfectly legal & commonplace, particularly among sellers who have lived in a house for a long period of time & have years of clutter to account for. Store items with a nearby storage facility. As an added benefit, with some of the bulkier items now gone, it will be easier to clean the interior before each open house.

- Consider repainting: Stronger colours might have appealed to you or your family over the years, but they might be too strong for prospective buyers. Though most buyers will simply repaint anyway, they might be more inclined to consider your house if the stronger coloured walls are repainted with neutral colours, such as beige or white. Also paint over walls where paint has become stained or deteriorated. Not doing so will give the impression that the house was not well taken care of, a big red flag for buyers.

- Remove keepsakes or knick knacks: Much like removing large furniture can make a family room or den seem larger, removing keep sakes & knick knacks from the foyer or kitchen can make those roomes appear more spacious as well. Since you'll be moving out anyway, this isn't a bad way to get a head start on packing.

Clean out the garage: Garages were once primarily used to park cars. However, garages are also used for storage. A cluttered garage won't help sell a house. An empty or clean garage, however, will appear very spacious & stick in a buyer's mind.

- Fix leaky faucets & shower heads: Leaky faucets & shower heads have a way of becoming unnoticeable background noise if you live in a home long enough. This makes them easy to ignore. However to prospective buyers , such leaks & noises will be noticeable immediatley. Fix all leaks before showing your house.

- Replqace old doorknobs & cabinet handles: Some things about a home tend to remain fixed in a buyer's mind more than others. Old cabinet handles or doorknobs that stick out might be nostalgic to a seller, but might mean something entirely different (namely, neglect) to a buyer. Do a run through of all the little things & fixthem up before showing your house.

Hints For Homeowners: Tips For A Successful Self-Move

(The following was taken from a local real estate guide. I am not a real estate expert or claim to be an expert on the subject, so make your own evaluations in regard to the information provided. Thanks.)

Few things in life are more arduous & exhausting than moving. While moving into a new home can be exiting, the process of moving is rarely enjoyable. Such is the reason many people turn to moving companies when it comes time to change addresses  However, moving companies are an added expense & not right for everyone. Many people choose to self-move to save some money. The process of self-moving can be intimidating, particularly for people whose move will take more than one day. Anticipating problems beforehand is often a great way to ensure the move goes off smoothly & with as little stress as possible.

- Truck Rental: When self-moving, many people find themselves in a race against time to get everything packed onto & then off the truck so they can return the truck in time & avoid what is often hefty late fees. Such a race only adds more stress to an already draining day. Particularly for people whose move will be more than one day, inquire about how much it will cost to keep the truck an extra day. This will eliminate the stress of getting everything done by a set time.

- Cover your valuables: When self-moving for the first time, many people don't realize just how dirty most rental trucks are. Plan on covering up nice furniture or other valuable items beforehand, it can protect your valuables from marks or scratches. With respect to cleanliness, expect the rental truck to be dusty & protect your valuable items accordingly.

- Load heavy item at the front of the truck: The 'front' of the truck is the wall closest to the trucks cab. Load the heaviest items, such as dressers, tables & furniture, on first. When packed tightly against the wall, these items won't move around once you start driving. Certain items, such as couches & mattresses, should be turned on end so they take up less space. A good tip is to put a mattress between large wood pieces to protect them from banging.

- Don't be a hero: At times, you might be tempted to lift certain items by yourself in the hopes of trimming some time of the move. However, moving is a marathon, not a track meet, & you don't want to waste energy that you will need down the road or hurt yourself. Heavier items should be should always be loaded & unloaded by a minimum of two people.

- Mark it: To make unpacking your items go smooth, mark each box with the contents & the room it should go in your new home.

- Lock it up: While moving trucks come with a lever that keeps the door shut, these levers are not locks. Anyone moving overnight should purchase a padlock to put on the truck to protect themselves from theft while they sleep.

- Don't forget entertainment: Oftentimes, a moving truck has the most basic of radios, with no cassette or CD player & sometimes only AM radio. Anyone whose move is a considerable distance should bring along a radio with a CD player to combat boredom.

Remember moving doesn't always have to be stressful, always take your time & be persistent. Good luck.
