I had read another book, Alaska Twilight, written by this author. I doubted that “Midnight Sea” could be as terrific a book as the former. I was wrong! Colleen’s way of telling a story couldn’t be any better in keeping a reader glued to the pages. The story locale is Hawaii in the midst of the many coffee plantations. Leilani Tagama, known as Lani, is the featured girl in the book. Lani has a terrible accident that leaves her blind and prevents her memory from seeing who she had seen murder a good friend. Lani had always been a very active person and she could not imagine how she could live a decent life without her sight. In her previous years Lani had been very loose in her many romances with men. She had recently turned to God to get her life in gear and now could not understand why God allowed this blindness to occur.
Ben Mahoney had taken on training guide dogs to assist those that had lost their sight to live a much better life. At this time he was training a two-year old golden retriever and “Fisher” was doing quite well. He was almost ready to help those in need of his services. While in training, Ben and Fisher had run into Ben’s former police partner, Yoshi Tagama, a cousin of Lani’s. Yoshi requested the help of Ben and a guide dog for Lani. Ben wasn’t sure that Fisher was ready for active work yet but finally gave in and told Yoshi he would take Fisher to Lani to see how it would work out. His hesitation was further enhanced knowing Lani’s past reputation as being too free with the men but realized Lani needed help with her total blindness.
Ben’s brother, Ethan and wife, Natalie, are almost always spaced out on alcohol, leaving their adorable daughter, Meg, without caring parents. A boating accident takes the lives of Ethan and Natalie but somehow Meg survived in her life vest. The accident also exposed criminal activity taking place in the area. Ben and Lani then cared for Meg.
The story continues as it brings Ben and Lani closer together through Meg and their feelings for each other even though they did not express those feelings to each other. Lani’s life was at risk because the killer felt Lani had seen him before her sight was lost and would someday remember who he was. Lani and Fisher made a great team as they adjusted to life together and Lani grew so attached to him that she told Ben she could never give up Fisher even if she regained her sight, which she felt she would some day.
Yoshi stayed as close to Lani and Meg as he could but he had other police work to do and could not spend every hour protecting them. Lani had several attempts on her life and her senses had saved her along with her friends being on the alert constantly. She even got to the point where she could distinguish by feel the ripe coffee beans and helped in the picking with Meg sometimes at her side and other times with friends and family watching Meg. Meg loved gum and everyone knew that fact as she insisted loudly that she wanted some gum!
The Christian atmosphere all through the book stand out especially well as Lani sometimes wonders why God let all these thing happen but then realized that God had done so many good things for her too. Midnight Tea is a page-turner that is extremely hard to put down. The reading is easy but pleasant and certainly not boring. There are no slow sections to bog you down. I highly recommend it.

Getting Low on Sex Drive Level? Turbo-Charge Your Low Libido For Better Sex Life

Image : http://www.flickr.com
Just imaging a happy handsome guy with great well-developed muscles, an actor called Martin. He regularly attends a gym and pumps iron there, and in the evening he becomes a reputable regular pub-hopper. All of a sudden, he happens to lose his desire for sex totally. His sexual urge gas tank indicator demonstrates zero. After doing some enquiry into the history of the problem, it was revealed that he, first and foremost, used too much of anabolic steroids. Additionally to this abuse of his body, he indulged lavishly in drinking, smoking and eating out every day. Now wonder that his body buckled under this onslaught of unhealthy habits, and reacted by lowering his libido. In its turn, low level of sexual urge dramatically affected his sexual performance.
The story of the poor guy is not something exceptional; many other celebrities are today afflicted by similar lifestyle disorders, affecting their sex life and relationships. The sexual drive is a form of psyche energy; it moves through the psyche (your conscious and unconscious mind) and stimulates the performance of the systems of your body. If you spend this energy elsewhere, you will prevent its flowing into sex. As a result your sexual drive becomes dramatically reduced. By diverting the psychic energies into the wrong waterbed you get the problem of low libido, which is an established fact. The reasons for the diversion of the vital energies of your mind can be different, ranging from physical, emotional and mental to social and even spiritual. So, the key question in this matter is to diagnose the reason correctly and take counter-measures in order to charge your sexual drive (also called libido) with new levels of energy.
STOP ABUSING YOUR BODY, IMPROVE YOUR LIFESTYLE IN HEALTHY WAY
Many people are not aware of the fact, but the important male hormone testosterone is produced by the testicles, and the level of the testosterone production is greatly influenced by the kind of undergarments that you are used to wear. Tight undergarments compress the testicles, which produce the hormone testosterone, which results in lowering of the hormone production. Low levels of the hormone results in low sexual drive.
Another adverse influence on the sexual drive is the excessive use of anabolic steroids, as well as other forms of abuse. For instance, nicotine smoking damages the arterial lining, the lining begins to attract cholesterol in large volumes, and the cross-section of the arteries becomes narrower. As a result, it impairs the blood inflow to the sex organs, and the male erection becomes much worse. There is a popular belief that alcohol is a good libido stimulant and helps to become sexually aroused. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Yes, alcohol might initially relax you enough to create some sexual arousal. But after you exceed the limit, its excessive consumption actually leads to much lower sexual drive and might even muffle it completely.
The problem is that liver plays an important part in activation of the hormone testosterone, and alcohol, in its turn, affects the liver function adversely. In case of borderline diabetes, if you happen to suffer from it, abuse of alcohol makes situation much worse. Another adverse influence is a diet consisting of foods rich in oily, high-caloric, sugar-laden substances. This could result in seriously higher cholesterol level, which narrows arteries and impairs blood flow, affecting the sexual performance in a negative way. The side effects of using anti-hypertensive medication, which is a popular and efficient remedy against hypertension (high blood pressure), include a lowered libido. The high blood pressure is often acquired because of wrong food habits and obesity. The fatigue accumulated through late-night entertainments till the wee hours of the morning and keeping late nights also leads to erratic sleep patterns and greatly impaired level of libido.
HOW TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES DONE TO YOUR LIBIDO LEVEL:
- Provide Yourself with Enough night sleep.
- Take Care of Eating Healthy foods.
- Quit excessive smoking and alcohol drinking.
- Start some kind of fitness program.
- Keep away from steroids and anti-depressants as much as possible.
YOU SHOULD DISTRIBUTE YOUR ENERGIES COMPETENTLY
You have to realize that such emotions like anxiety and depression that are a result of a stressful lifestyle constitute a harmful diversion of psychic energies. They are adverse energy-gobblers. Just imaging that a lions share of the energy of your mind is consumed by worrying about performance evaluations on the job, competing with colleagues for promotions, or, probably, searching for better opportunities. How much of your psychic energy, as a result, is left to supply power for your sexual needs? Another example of stressful emotions resulting in poor level of libido is conflicting relationship between the husband and wife. In order to relive the stress people administer anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications – and here you go, just another cause for zero sexual drive.
Just consider these two guys: an investment banker called Andrew and a mutual fund manager named David. Both are distressed about their poor sexual drive. The reason is the adrenalin rush they both experience as a result of handling big monies (in Andrew’s case) and market fluctuations, which swayed David’s clients’ fortunes. The sex paled in comparison with the stresses they both were going through, they were both mentally and emotionally exhausted. The plague of the majority of modern double-income couples is lack of leisure time to spend together and enjoy as a couple. They plan home/car loan payments, indulge in household chores; discuss the problems of the economics or, probably, some work-related issues. That consumes all of their time they spend together. They channel their psychic energies of in to the directions that are very far from sensuality. As a result, both get a poor, tired and helpless libido
TO IMPROVE THE POOR STATE OF THINGS WITH LIBIDO:
- Plan a weekend getaway and see to following your plan till final victory.
- Never discuss job-related issues during the holiday.
- Devote some time for each other, even if it is just a couple of minutes in the morning and evening (but on a daily bases, that is important).
- Get rid of redundant household chores, spare more free time for communicating with each other.
FORGET ABOUT TRYING TO BE A SUPERWOMAN
Malvika has a problem with her psychic energies being diverted towards stressful parenting. She is too preoccupied with showcasing her kids and, at the same time, being an unconditionally loving parent. She is torn between her duties towards her in-laws and challenges of coping with a hectic social life. Too much party-throwing, too many social activities to attend to. She is excessively distressed by playing a part of a mother and too concerned by her children’s performance at school. No wonder, she gets a severe case of a poor libido level that is reaching zero.
TO HAVE ENJOABLE SEX AND PARENT KIDS IN A STRESS-FREE WAY:
- Your inner and outer lives should be sane, balanced and loving. Concentrate on making them so and live them in this way
- The parenting pressures should not bog you down.
- Don’t bite more that you can chew.
- Do the best you can do, leave the rest out.
- Do not even think about pleasing all and everyone around you, which is not possible in this life.
- Have some extra mercy on yourself.

Static Website Vs WordPress Blog – Which to Choose?

Image : http://www.flickr.com
Trying to make a decision between using a static website vs WordPress blog for your small business?
Here is a comparison of both so you can make an informed decision!
Static Website
A website made with HTML is commonly known as a static website. When a website is made in HTML it can be done all by hand (which is the long, outdated way and is rarely used) or it can be made with some sort of website design program such as Microsoft Expressions, Adobe Dreamweaver or a host of others.
Pros:
Quickly Create – For someone who knows what they are doing a simple one or two page static website takes only a quick process to create. These are sometimes very useful for single salespages, email opt-in sites or anything that requires just a few pages.
Cons:
Expensive – A HTML website can be expensive both to create and to maintain. You need to make sure you have a designer who knows the software your website was built in and that’s not always easy.
Organization is Difficult – Like I mentioned static is great if you just need a page or two but some sites have hundreds of pages. Organization can be difficult and messy with a static website and pages can become outdate or missed without realization.
WordPress Website
WordPress was originally created as a blogging software but it has grown into so much more than that. Yes, you can make wonderful blogs on WordPress but you can also build entire sites on this open source (free) piece of software.
Pros:
Huge Selection of Themes – There are some amazing theme designers out there for WordPress who are constantly striving to create better themes for users. These span a wide range of colors, looks, niche topics and layouts.
Updating is Easy – Unlike the static website you can find people who know how to use WordPress very easily. There are hundreds of Virtual Assistants who provide the service of updates for your site built in this program. They’ll do this work for you at very reasonable price as well.
Cons:
Regular Upgrades – Because the software is open source one major disadvantage is the frequent updates required to keep away spammers and website hijackers.
Customization – Not all WordPress themes will be just to your liking so you made need to do some customization. While this is a disadvantage to the newbie, if you find an experienced person to help you this will be no problem at all.
Making the choice on which way to go will be a function of your needs, your own experience and your range of information on how to get set up quickly. Just make sure you do your research before making the decision to save yourself some time and hassle in the long run.

Should You Write In First Or Third Person?

Image : http://www.flickr.com
Early in the process of writing, every writer will need to make a decision — what person to write in?
Traditionally, English grammar has divided references to people into three categories, to refer to I, you, and he or she. The first person is I, me, my, we, our, and so on. The second person is you and your. The third person is he, she, they, their, his, hers, him, her, and so on.
However, most writing tasks are written in either first or third person. Instructional and how-to type writing can be written in second person and some fiction — although rarely.
How does a writer decide which person is right for their writing task?
For many writers, the first and only criteria used is comfort and experience. As most of our oral communication takes place in the first person and much informal written communication is in first person, many people are just more comfortable writing in first person.
However that doesn’t mean that first person is the ideal choice for that particular writing task.
First person is a great choice when you intend to write informally or casually. Even if the task itself is actually for a formal or professional purpose, you may deliberately choose a casual tone. Then first person is the right choice.
First person is also a wonderful choice when writing about personal experience. If you are sharing a story about your life or an event that you witnessed then many times it is more powerful written in first person. The writer is a part of the story and it is important for the reader to know that so first person is the right choice here as well.
There are many times, though, when third person really is the better choice. In fact, many academic and professional situations require it as first person is more casual and informal.
The biggest reason to move from first to third person is simply that third person takes the writer (the “I”) out of the writing which places the emphasis on what is being said rather than who is saying it.
It creates a sense of more objectivity and distance–the writer’s feelings and personality are peripheral to an argument’s validity–the facts are allowed to speak for themselves.
Writing in third person is also stronger and more forceful therefore is often more convincing. Often the “I” statement weakens an argument or statement.
Often first person is unnecessary ie. I think [most students do not need algebra]. Many of the first-person elements (I think, I believe,I know, etc.) often simply weaken or bog down the writing for no purpose. Taking those out to make the switch to third person can make the writing stronger and more powerful.
If you want to learn and grow as a writer then you must experiment and gain experience using both first and third person. That way you will make the choice based on the purpose of your writing not simply your comfort level.

Bull Pup Guns Configuration

Image : http://www.flickr.com
The next generation of small arms coming to the top, a lot are using a bull pup configuration. Since it utilizes a rifle length barrel (about 18-20″) in a carbine sized package (about 28-35″ give or take) no performance or accuracy is lost in compacting the size of the rifle. However, this design is not as perfect as it sounds.
With the exception of the FN F2000, bullpups can only be fired from one shoulder safely because of the ejection next to the user’s head. Also, many are back-heavy and it is more difficult to balance than a standard setup. Also, it is reportedly slower in magazine change time, and it is a lot more awkward.
Overall, there’s a reason that most special ops units from countries whose conventional forces use a bullpup, instead chose a standard rifle and/or carbine. The SAS uses the M4 or the C8, GIGN (though occasionally using the FAMAS) often operates with the SIG 551, and the Australian SASR also utilizes the M4.
Depending on the means of attaching the sight and the optic employed, the bullpup design has the potential of being more mechanically accurate than a conventional weapon the same length because of barrel length and the potential for added barrel rigidity (For example the Walther WA-2000 and Bushmaster M17S).
Additional problems are practical accuracy for most designs because of extended trigger linkages, greater difficulty creating an ergonomic stock, and (without optics) limited sight radius. There is also a practical limit to conventional magazine length without going to an unconventional design parallel to the bore line like the Calico-series, FN P90, or HK G11. This means, in most weapons, the inability to use a high capacity drum for use in the AR/SAW roles.
Belt feed is actually less problematic in bullpup or semi-bullpup designs because it makes it easier to put the ammunition closer to the point of balance (like the M60/M60E3, MG42, and some of the Colt LMG prototypes.)
Modularity seems to suffer on many designs because of a combination of decreased mounting spaces (ergonomic requirements and competition with necessary optics) and balance issues from adding mass forward of the trigger.
Many bullpups have the ability to have their ejection port switched between sides simply and quickly. Examples are the FA MAS-series and the Steyr AUG. A select few eject straight down and are essentially ambidextrous like the FN 2000, FN P90, and the Calico-series of pistol/machine pistols. A few designs, like the L85/L85 series and the Bushmaster M17S’s are exclusively right handed. It’s not terribly reasonable to expect to halt combat to reconfigure your ejection port. This limits even these platforms to shooting from one side or the other. Not a big deal for all, to me, it’s one strike against the bullpup that I don’t have to worry about with a conventional rifle.
The Bullpups offer only one real advantage – compact size – full length barrel. Everything else about them is ‘bog standard’, even though the FN2000 has definitely got potential to be a very workable platform.

Lindow Man

Image : http://www.flickr.com
About 2,200 years ago, near a swampy marsh of wetland or bog, located in present day Manchester, England, a number of Celtic priests assembled together and passed around a sack made of parchment that contains multiple pieces of thin bread. Each priest would blindly reach into the leather bag and took a piece. One man, presumably in his late 20s, pulled out a burnt portion of the bread- the only one contained in the bag. He and the others understood very well what this meant. In a bizarre, yet dignified ritual, the young man was killed and his body was left in the swamp.
Based on the Celtic religion, the person who chose the burnt bread was killed and sacrificed as an offering to the gods. They believed that by doing so, it will please the gods and as a result, the people will be blessed with good fortune and prosperity. Recently, workers cutting peat, or sod, in the Manchester swamp discovered the body of the victim that was sacrificed. Scientists had dubbed the victim as “Lindow Man”, after the site where he was uncovered. Chemicals contained in the bog water have preserved the body very well and left it in a remarkable condition. Based on scientific analysis, it is believed that the man was most likely someone of high status as his body displayed little evidence of heavy or rough work. In this eccentric sacrificial ritual, as indicated by the complex injuries, the man’s jaw and collar bone was broken, he was strangled at the neck as well as having his throat severed. There is a possibility that this ritual was widespread since more than 100 similarly executed bodies have been uncovered throughout Europe.

Why No NoFollow Blogs?

Image : http://www.flickr.com
Well actually, removing the nofollow link from a blog comment is not as daft as it sounds. Yes, it is opening up to all kinds of spam, but that is why we must check these comments manually.
What are the advantages to not nofollowing?
The immediately obvious advantages are to the people that are leaving comments. Suddenly they get two benefits to leaving comments on related posts.
First, anyone else reading that post might read the comment and if they are interested, click on the link to go to their blog. This in itself is a great boost and I have seen traffic arriving on my websites through these links.
But secondly, because the nofollow is removed, there is also a tiny search engine benefit. If there are not too many comments per page and the page has any sort of Page Rank, then that is being shared amongst those commenting. As long as all spam comments are manually removed then the list of comments should represent just good, honest readers.
Yes, some of these are commenting just for the sake of the link, but as long as the comment passes the manual checks, this is fine with me. If they add to the conversation, tell me how they happened upon the post or whatever then there is some positive reason for their comment and I am happy to give them the benefit.
And this is where the benefit to the site owner comes in. By making the comments more valuable to site owners whilst being particular as to which are accepted, suddenly more people are coming over to the blog, reading the posts and then making useful comments.
See the big advantage? More readers! And where do these readers come from? Well there are plenty of lists of “dofollow” blogs to get included in. Once I have tidied this site a little, I’ll ask a few to add me to their do follow lists then people looking to place relevant comments will find the site.
The disadvantages.
As my mum would say, every silver lining has a cloud!
Yes, there are some disadvantages. Get well known and the amount of spam comments arriving on the blog could be huge. But that is why you have to be strict and delete (before they are published / approved) every spam comment. Leave only those in place that are suitable, add to the post and are useful.
Close comments on older posts to prevent too many spam bots getting hold of your site and make sure that Akismet is running to protect you from the worst of it all.
Is there a search engine risk?
Some people worry that having comments without nofollow will reduce your own Page Rank. I do not believe that to be true. Why?
Well in my research the formula for inheriting Page Rank always looks at external and internal pages separately. It counts the number of external sites linked per page and shares the Page Rank there and probably then does the same for internal pages.
Plus, if monitored and checked, then this is what search engines want to see. Conversations taking place on a topic. So why punish this?
Feel free to browse the site and leave a suitable comment on any post and if you also believe in nofollowing, let me know so I can visit your site!
11 Tips for Dealing With Difficult People

Image : http://www.flickr.com
I started my company (EMJ) from the trunk of my car (and it was a small trunk so that’s a small business). I grew EMJ to $375,000,000 in sales prior to selling it to SYNNEX. I am now CEO of a $1 billion business.
One certainty in life is you will not always see eye to eye with everyone. The purpose of this article is to share practical ideas on dealing with difficult people.
1 – I hate the title of this article. The first step is to reframe the situation. If you think you are dealing with a difficult person, it will be difficult. If you think you are dealing with a challenge, it can be invigorating.
2 – Use the Stephen Covey rule: “seek first to understand.” Often the simple act of understanding the person will be cathartic enough to have the person deal with you civilly. People have a need to be understood and if they feel understood, they tend to be easier to work with. If you truly understand the other person, often you will see a solution to the challenge or will have empathy for them and not feel as threatened.
3 – Leave stubbornness (and ego) at the door. Most cases I have seen where someone is very challenging, it is because both of the parties are set on their point of view.
4 – Be Zen. If you cannot change the situation, live with it. Not only tolerate it but do not stress about what cannot be changed.
5 – Take a break. Often challenging situations can bog down. Stepping away from the situation can allow more creativity. It can also allow for a cooling off by both parties. Some of the best breaks include deep breathing, exercise (take a walk) and of course the longer the time, the better.
6 – Ask yourself why you think this person is a challenge. Often the reasons tie to interpreting cues wrong. For example, I do business with an individual who uses a lot of foul language. I find this somewhat offensive and it tends to raise my stress level. When I look at the situation, his first language is not English. He likely does not have the same associations with swear words as I do. Furthermore, they are only words so perhaps I need to look at myself. Does it really matter?
7 – Be creative. This ties into the stubbornness. Often creative solutions can solve an impasse. Take a win-win negotiations course. Much conflict is actually about problem solving and negotiation. Much of win win negotiating is about creativity.
8 – Ask “what about this person or situation is good?” There will always be something about everyone and every situation that is positive.
9 – Ask the How question. How could you solve this challenge? How could dealing with this person be a good thing?
10 – Get help. Often someone might be tough for you to communicate with or be challenging to deal with but someone else might deal with them easily. I often end up in this role in my company. Because the card says CEO, people are often more polite and nicer to me than they are one of my staff. It is not that I am better, it is the position. Or sometimes just someone different might have different chemistry. I used to do an account swap among the sales reps and trade underperforming accounts. Invariably sales would increase for both reps. There was something about adding new energy and a new person that moved all underperforming accounts to higher sales by just switching reps.
11 – If all else fails, avoid the situation. In some cases, this can be a viable option. I often ask myself “will this go away if I do not deal with it”. If the answer is yes, why should I spend time and energy on it?
Good luck dealing with your challenging people.

Don’t Get Stressed When You’re Cooking For Large Groups

Image : http://www.flickr.com
When your friends and family think your a good cook, chances are you will be asked to cook for them. Most times that will be for a larger audience then you normally cook for. Most times that means a lot of stress and sometimes these things end up in a nervous breakdown for the cook. It doesn’t have to be that way, cooking for a large group of people, if planned correctly can be a lot of fun for every one in the dinning room. You need to plan ahead and stick to that plan the whole evening. The larger the group the larger the dishes and pots and pans but that is not a thing you should start worrying about. Making stuffing still is making stuffing even for a large group. If the group is double then your used to doesn’t mean cooking and preparation time doubles as well.
Time flies, when you should be having fun
Often, time is wasted when you, the cook, start to worry about everything that could go wrong. Instead that time worrying should be spend on preparing for dinner. Involve those friends and family members that asked you to cook for them by asking them to do things for you. When a person asks if he or she can do anything to help you. don’t be polite and say you have everything under control. Even if you really have it all under control, take accept their help so you have more time on your hands for later. Let that person serve the drinks or set the table.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
Cooking for a large group of people is not a small task. When you start planning don’t be afraid to include the help of people who are coming to dinner. Maybe you trust one or two of them to help you prepare the food or even help you cook. Not the whole dinner but little things like dressing the salad or preparing the side dishes. Small things so you can keep your mind on the main courses and grand deserts you have planned for the evening. The people who join you for your dinner are not coming to see you fail but to enjoy a lovely meal. If you make them part of the creative part of the evening they may just take pleasure out of it.
When the time has come that everyone is enjoying the meal you have prepared for them you should enjoy it as well. Enjoy the look on the faces of the people who are eating what you created in the kitchen. Start to relax and enjoy it with them. And when the evening comes to an end, again don’t be afraid to ask for help picking up and cleaning the dishes. You removed the stress of preparing the dinner, now you should avoid the stress of ending the dinner. The sooner everything gets cleaned up the quicker everyone, including you, can enjoy the after dinner drinks and conversations.
After a while you will get the hang of cooking for a large group of people. And don’t forget to thank the people who helped you out before, during and after the dinner. Then when the next one comes around they will be more then willing to help you again.
