The Global Resorts Network: Profile and Customer Feedbacks

By Alain Schuster

The Global Resorts Network offers a discount luxury travel membership as well as an affiliate program for those who want to sell membership to other people. This article provides an unbiased review of both the product (which is the membership package) and its affiliate program.

Two (2) types of membership are offered. One is a Platinum membership which cost US$2,995.00.

Membership Features: Lifetime membership, fully transferable and willable to one's estate, no yearly fees, unlimited vacations per year, offers guest weeks which allows members to offer stays for family and friends, resort weeks cost from US$298 - 699 per week in 5 and 4 start resorts (in rare cases, may be up to US$799 per week in Hawaii etc.)

Another type of membership is a Gold membership, costing US$1,495.

Membership Features: 3-year membership, 3 resort weeks per year and not exceeding 21 days, maybe consecutive and in same resort, no guest weeks allowed, resort weeks cost start at US$398 in 5 and 4 star resorts

It is actually Gold Crown Resorts which handles the membership. What the company does is purchase excess inventory from timeshares and resorts all over the world.

Why Memberships Are Better Than Timeshare:

- GRN member doesn't pay a maintenance fee while timeshare requires an annual maintenance fee

- timeshare usually allows only one vacation per year; with GRN, unlimited number of vacations

- the cost of a GRN membership is generally lesser than timeshare's initial purchase cost

- between the annual maintenance fee in timeshare and the cost per resort week in a GRN membership, the latter is generally lesser

Some Shortfalls of GRN:

- there is no guarantee that one's preferred vacation schedule and resort can always be accomodated due to fluctuations in resort vacancies; therefore, one has to be flexible as far as travel schedules are concerned.

- reservations are non-cancellable because one of the ways by which GRN can get a very low rate is because they get specific non-cancellable dates when a request is made.

- the size of the inventory decreases with the increase in number of members; before, memberships were sold directly to customers through a personal sales presentation; but since the membership started to be sold online via network marketing, membership has increased and therefore, the available inventory decreased.

The Affiliate Program:

Many people are joining its affiliate program because of the compensation plan. In brief, this is how the plan works:

First Sale: You don't earn anything yet on your first sale as this is passed up to your sponsor or upline to activate your first level

Sale # 2 and thereafter: You receive US$1000 on each sale (if you sold a platinum membership) or US$500 (if you sold a gold membership). Your upline receives the same amount on each one of your sales as well

Sales of Your Affiliates: Each time your affiliate makes a sale, you also earn US$1000 or US$500 depending on what type of membership was sold.

For instance, you have 5 affiliates which sell 2 platinum membership per month, you earn US$10,000 monthly.

The Marketing System:

The GRN has its own official website but there are various third party systems which provide the necessary tools to market the product. Each offers a marketing site/landing page, information pages, contact or list management and autoresponders. They vary in cost and some have additional features. Among them are:

GRN System (by Priceless Possibilities) US$29.95/ month, Ty Coughlin's Reverse Funnel System US$299.00/month, GRN Biz Builder (run by QuickLister) US$34.95/month, GRN Team Buidler (run by B.O. S. S.) US$79.95/month, Global Pro Builder US$39.95 - 69.95/month plus set up

These third party systems attempt to make the marketing process easy for you so you can start right away. They have back offices containing many training materials, advertising and marketing guides, etc.

Feedback from Customers:

"Global Resorts Network is also the first & only company I have ever seen were there truly is a product in place that is in demand & of real value unlike the majority of the 2 & 3 step money games with products that have no value. Meaning you can actually go out & sell this product / membership aside from the opportunity...."

"Well, I did everything step by step and used their exact key words and phrases for advertising. I utilized everything they suggested. $15,000.00 later still no sales! ..." Source:

"Global Resorts Network is for real...and a great deal. Where else can you get a lifetime membership for less than $3000 one time...no recurring fees, no exchange fees, no maintanance fees, and can book weeks at 4-5 star luxury condos for under $300 to $700 as many times as you want. The company that provides the condos has been doing this for 20 years very successfully. I'm a member and think it's a fantastic value...." Source:

"I do not have a problem with Network Marketing, and I am not calling this a scam. However, I do have a problem with reverse funnel system, and Ty Coughlin's screaming loud recordings on my answering machine ..." Source:

Here's Our Verdict:

Overall, the discount luxury travel membership is an excellent product. A member can stay in a luxurious resort with a shoestring budget. However, the member has to have a certain degree of flexibility when it comes to travel schedules.

The membership fee can be recovered easily from the savings earned from heavily discounted rates. So even if you just become a member and avail of the travel benefits, you will eventually recover the cost you paid for your membership fee.

If you like to sell memberships as an affiliate, please remember that while there are third party marketing systems to help you, you still need to acquire long-term skills on affiliate marketing. Most of these systems focus on practical implementation and step by step guide. But to acquire long-term skills is not to have you follow instructions like a robot. The world of internet marketing is always in a state of flux, trends emerge and disappear and if you haven't acquired long-term skills, your ability to make money online is only temporary or close to zero. You need to understand, acquire skills and practically implement techniques and at the same time see the overall picture and the significance of all the actions you are taking.

The GRN affiliate program does not guarantee to make you rich overnight. You have to be prepared to devote a considerable amount of time to it, spend for monthly fees and other marketing-related expenses such as advertising which can be costly.

Acoustic Guitar

By Scott M Green

Many people are susceptible to the mystery and romance of an acoustic guitar. It can produce spicy and passionate flamenco pieces as well as soft melodic tunes for a wide range of beautiful sounds. While most people don't think about its range when they think about the acoustic guitar, everyone can appreciate the beautiful music from an acoustic guitar.

Is playing an acoustic guitar a skill that you always wanted to take up? You could just look at a guitar and imagine the wonderful melody of notes of your strum. You question how difficult it actually would be the play guitar and how much money you will have to spend to learn how to play.

You think about how fun it would be to play the guitar at family get-togethers or for your friends at parties. But then, you think about how difficult it would be to learn, or how much lessons might cost. Also, you wouldn't know where to find the time to learn how to play properly.

Even though it may seem that acoustic guitars are magical, that's not really the case. The music produced is the magic, not the guitar. This is the same as when you were young and learning to use a pencil. After a time you learned to write very well and you soon were able to write essays, book reports and all sorts of things. Your pencil was merely the tool used to create your writing. This is what it's like with an acoustic guitar. The guitar is the tool that makes your music. Learning the guitar evolves in the same way. When you're in the music store you play around with a guitar, just as you scribbled with your pencil. You hear what happens each time you move your hands a certain way. When you start to learn to play an acoustic guitar you begin to feel at ease and soon your fingers begin to move correctly on their own. After a while the guitar becomes an extension of your hands and your thoughts begin to flow through it naturally.

Many who have never played acoustic guitar are drawn to them and may be a little star-struck by them. Sometimes, they may think the guitar is more than what it is. Being able to use it to make music seems magical. It is overwhelming to say that least that you may be able to create music, a powerful universal language.

Music is such a intense expression of sound and emotion that it can be overwhelming to think that anyone could produce such beautiful sounds. This outlook can make people apprehensive with learning to play an acoustic guitar. Remember, the acoustic guitar was built to speak this language.

Whether you frequently check out the acoustic guitars in the music store just to get the feel of it, or if you have got one standing silent in the corner, take the time to learn. You will always be proud that you've spent time mastering the instrument.

Introduction To Homeopathy

By Mark Archer

You may have heard of homeopathy, but do you know what it is? Some people confuse it with aromatherapy or acupuncture. Homeopathy began in Europe in the 18th century and was once more highly respected than traditional medicine. Today in the United States, homeopathy is the second most sought out medical treatment after traditional allopathic medicine.

The concept of homeopathy is based on the law of similarities. This is very much like the idea behind vaccinations. When we get a vaccination for a disease, we get a little diluted dose of the disease and our immune system fights off the disease. Most healthy people who get vaccinated will develop a little sickness after the vaccination, but it will quickly disappear. This is because their immune system kicked in and killed the disease. Once the disease has been cured by the immune system, it does not reoccur.

Those same principals are applied in homeopathy. Ther are roughly thirty basic remedies used in dealing with a variety of ailments. What the patient receives is a highly diluted dose of the same ailment. Homeopathy then relies on the body's natural immune system to heal itself. This is why it effective in many ailments.

When a patient goes to see a homeopath, the first thing that will happen is the practitioner will take a thorough history of the patient. This history will include the emotional, mental and physical states of the patient, their current life situation as well as any physical or mental illnesses. The homeopath takes all this information and applies it to a formula of all symptoms, likes, dislikes, predispositions and body type. They will then determine the remedy for the problem at hand. You get a tailor made solution for your ailment. An ordinary doctor would just hand out a "one cure all" pill.

Instead of traditional medications such as chemotherapy and radiation to treat cancer that may or may not work, homeopathy uses the natural immune system to fight off the cancer. This has been known to work in some people. There has been a medical link between the immune system and cancer. Most people, however, choose to use traditional medicine when treating cancer. Actress Suzanne Somers was criticized for using homeopathic remedies to treating her breast cancer, but she survived her ordeal. Other celebrities with this disease were not so fortunate, yet they went the traditional medicine route.

Homeopathy may or may not work on each individual. Most homeopaths believe that disease or ailments come because of a disturbance in the life force. When an ailment refuses the remedies of homeopathy, it is thought that the disease was inherent and would have been unable to be treated even with traditional medicine. This happens often when people, as a last resort, use homeopathy as a way to cure certain diseases after traditional medicine has failed.

Homeopathy has been enjoying a new popularity lately, though it has been around for about two hundred years. As more people get acquainted with it, more and more people are finding out about its effectiveness and gentleness.

You are not alone in your anxiety

By Adam Mahon

When people have social anxiety disorder or social phobia everyday situations can become very overwhelming. These feelings of anxiety can become intense and can vary from person to person.

Do you find a trip to the movies sends you into a panic? Well some people do, what about the thought of eating dinner with a group of people you don't know? These are just two of the things that people with social anxiety disorders could well find totally unbearable.

People with social anxiety fear that they will make mistakes that everyone will notice, they fear that they are always going to be judged by others, they have the fear of being embarrassed or humiliated by themselves in front of others, they think that everyone's attention is on them, and they think that other people are more capable of doing something in the same situation.

If you are in a situation that could possibly cause minor worry in most of us, such as a crowd of people suddenly appearing and people coming in a bit close. Someone with social anxiety could well go into a full on anxiety attack, couple that with the fear that someone will notice their anxiety and it all compounds into a very frightening anxiety attack.

Social anxiety disorders can affect your career as well as your social life, if you get nervous and anxious every time you are talking to your boss it will affect your career prospects. Some people will find that their anxiety disorder doesn't bother them at work but only when they are out in a social situation.

When you go to pull a plaster off , the time you spend thinking about how much it will hurt seems to make you more anxious than the actual removal of the plaster itself. That is just how it feels when a social anxiety sufferer knows they will have to use a public rest room or public telephone.

Many more women than men suffer with social anxiety disorder, possibly because they feel extra pressure to be perfect in social situations, but no one seems to really know. It is not uncommon for people to have social anxieties, there are certainly hundreds of thousands if not millions of people who suffer with it to various degrees in America alone.

Social anxiety disorder usually will start at a early age. You can be shy and still not experience the same intense anxiety that people do with social anxiety disorder. Shy people usually do not avoid certain social situations like people that have social anxiety disorders. Social anxiety disorder can overtake someone's life if they allow it to.

Digital Camera Comparison: How to Do It Yourself

By Gugu Maseko

Digital cameras are growing in demand and use. The capturing of images without the need for film is the greatest advantage of the digital camera. A digital camera although with many functions does not need the complicated mechanical components of a standard film camera.

With the upsurge of home computers it means that almost anyone can store and then play with the images on their own pc. A series of ones and zeros is how all digital information is stored and a digital camera images are no different. Digital cameras still use lenses in much the same way that conventional cameras do. All the budding digital camera enthusiast needs to know is that despite the difference in how the image is captured, the ultimate effect is the same.

Images seen on good and more expensive digital cameras are captured using an alternative method of a charged coupled device commonly known as a CCD which you may have heard of. Less expensive digital cameras us a complementary metal oxide semi-conductor or CMS device which does the same work of capturing an image and although some believe it could replace the CCD, this is not likely.

The price of a digital camera nowadays have been depreciating, one of the main reasons of this is because of the introduction of CMOS image sensors, this is because CMOS sensors are less expensive and are easier to manufacture than CCD sensors. The CCD and CMOS devices capture light like tiny solar collectors both achieving the same effect but just by differing methods.

If you find yourself in the market for a digital camera then some useful information is listed below.

Image quality is important or it will be waste of time taking them so look for the highest megapixel range digital camera within your price range.

Always choose a digital camera with an optical zoom as the optical zoom of a camera will enable you take pictures without any distortion.

Today's nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries are very powerful and last for around a 1,000 charges so always use these if you want to save money.

Many people are just happy to point and shoot but if you want your camera to do a little more than try to buy one with more functions. Think 512MB as a bare minimum with today's high resolution cameras so if you're a photo junkie you can takes pictures of just about anything.

Digital cameras are now very tiny compared to a few years ago so you can actually carry around a high spec camera in your pocket and still be able to take fantastic pictures. So by doing this you won't feel as if you are a journalist or nature photographer wherever you go.

By using this information you shouldn't go to far wrong when you go to buy your digital camera. The future of photography has moved on and digital cameras are that future.

How to Lose Weight Fast

By Joseph Then

Losing weight and looking good is something that many people want to do, but it is also something that many people try to do and fail to do. Why is there such a problem with burning and losing fat? It is often attributed to genetics.

Some people believe that they are overweight because of genetics. Their parents are fat, that is why ther eare fat. However, let me tell you that this is not true. Anyone can be fit and thin. The only difference is the amount of hardwork and excercise you put in. Trust me, with the right winning formula you can join the ranks of people who are thin for life.

The most important part of it all is that, once you know the magic formula, you can get results fast!

The Magic Mix

In order to lose fat safely, you need a mixture of diet and exercise. What to diet on and how to exercise? Simple. You have to cut your calories and exercise to burn off excess fats. There you go, the magic solution.

It really is a simple matter of science. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound of fat. Cutting that many calories form your diet alone usually leads to unhealthy eating. Combine that with exercise and you can be healthy about losing weight.

Getting Better Exercises

So, when do you need to exercise? The best time to exercise is when your blood sugar is low. So when? Well, this means that you should do it some time after your eat or before you eat. Most professionals suggest that working out first thing in the morning is the best. This will allow your body to lose more fat.

The best suggestion that I can offer is that you should workout at your target heart rate. I am sure most of you may not know what your target heart rate is. Let me tell you. Subtract your age form 220. You will then need to workout at 55% to 85% of this maximum heart rate. However, if you are a beginner, you should only workout at 55% to 65% of that number.

Maintaining the motivation

We all know that staying motivated is one of the hardest thing to do. After working out for a week, you may not see results but let me tell you this; it is not about what the scale is displaying. What is more important is how you feel.

To help keep you motivated avoid the scale altogether. Your weight will go up and down throughout the day so your weight is not a good indicator. Instead take your measurements. This is a better reflection of your progress.

Now that you are armed with this information, all you need now is to take it to your stride. You can also find a friend to work with. That will keep you motivated. All the best!

By Elias Maseko

A body-mind-spirit harmony is what yoga means, and to achieve this means a lot more than just meditation. In Sanskrit, the word means union. It has the distinction of being the oldest personal development technique known. This age old science and philosophy treats the person by looking at him as a whole so there is the physical, the mental and the spiritual that comes up for making better and strengthening.

A Yogi is a male Yoga practitioner and Yogini is a female practitioner. In Indian philosophy, there are six orthodox systems and this system is one of them, being a practice that ensures health for the body and the mind.

Science Supports the Anti-Anxiety Effects of Essential Oils

By Nancy Stevens

The most pervasive concept of aromatherapy in North America is that of nice smells making you feel good - a strong whiff out of a little bottle and you're carried away to your personal 'happy place'. Not a bad idea, but this concept carries the burden of 'New Age' stereotypes with it. Aromatherapy is but a simple folk remedy that works only because the yoga-posing, mantra-chanting, tantric-sex practicing user thinks it does. Well, we've got news for the 'Establishment': Science has validated aromatherapy! Perhaps most profoundly, science has shown that smelling essential oils has true anti-anxiety effects; there's actual data showing essential oils will actually help you relax. Now all you natural health and wellness practitioners can tell your doubting, possibly smirking friends - this stuff is for real.

The number of studies investigating the therapeutic actions of essential oils has exploded over the last ten years, as popular interest grows in the areas of natural health and wellness. The efficacy of may 'folk' remedies is being validated, with many of them having benefits at least as potent as their pharmaceutical counterparts, and most having very limited, if any, side effects. This is especially true with the use of essential oils for reducing stress and lessening anxiety. And what's wonderful about the oils is that their readily available and easy to use. A mother with active children can just plug in a diffuser and let it do its thing. A stressed-out commuter can do the same. Feeling a little wound up, but want to keep the aroma a little more personal? Apply a few drops of diluted oil to yourself or loved one wherever you like. What oils have these anti-anxiety effects? Let's have a look...

Lavender has been the most frequently studied of all the essential oils. Its anti-anxiety (or simply 'relaxing') action has been documented both in the laboratory (using stressed-out mice and rats) and in clinical environments with actual human beings. Many, many studies have reported the same thing: inhalation of lavender oil brings calm under a great variety of conditions. At least one study compared Lavender oil aroma to that of Juniper, Cypress, Geranium, Jasmine and Frankincense. It was only the Frankincense that had a somewhat similar effect, but not nearly as effective as Lavender. Several studies compared Lavender's effect to diazepam (Valium) with Lavender's aroma having similar (but likely more healthy) calming results. In other studies, Lavender has been shown to improve sleep, decrease conflict between animals, and reduce the amount of pain medication needed by recovering hospital patients.

Sandalwood oil is another well-known stress reducer. For those that may not enjoy the floral aroma of Lavender, Sandalwood could be the oil of choice. Its warm, earthy scent is grounding and centering, being used by some spiritual traditions to enhance relaxed, focused meditative states. The science shows similar results - Sandalwood oil topically applied relaxed the body while stimulating psyche. Studies on sleep/wake cycles using Sandalwood oil topically improved the quality of sleep and lessened waking episodes. A small study using Sandalwood suggested the oil may be helpful in reducing anxiety for palliative care patients. Beyond the scope of Western scientific inquiry, Sandalwood oils and pastes have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of psychological disorders, utilizing its sublime mental-health promoting actions.

While Sandalwood and Lavender have the most data to back them up, many other essential oils have had positive test results. Rose is a standout; it has also been tested alongside Valium (apparently the anti-anxiety gold standard) with better and longer-lasting results. The rose aroma's effect seem to increase over time, where as benzodiazepines' effect will tend to decrease - and the test subjects appeared less confused or sedated. Rose, like Lavender, reduced conflict between test subjects as well. For a little variety, you can mix Rose and Sandalwood together (try a 1:4 ratio)...this is a classic Indian aromatic blend combining two of the world's best known anti-anxiety scents.

Other oils found in research databases include Angelica, Chamomile, Lemon, Lemongrass, Tagetes and Ylang Ylang. Some oils tested didn't show repeatable results in the laboratory environment, but if you find and oil aroma that you find relaxing, it's more than likely not purely 'in your head'; the olfactory (smell) sense is the one of the five senses most directly wired to the brain's emotional centers. These are, in turn, directly wired to the autonomic nervous system controlling functions such as heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure - all of which are closely tied to one's level of stress.

So what to do with these stress relieving wonders? They're really easy to use - one of the great features of aromatherapy. Both topical application and inhalation show repeatable results in laboratory tests. A common method of topical application is to dilute the essential oil in a carrier oil like Jojoba down to 10% or less. Essential oils tend to pass easily into the bloodstream when applied to the skin, so nearly any technique will do. A few drops of your mixture can be placed on the wrists and rubbed together (this is nice, as you'll smell the aroma as well). For inhalation, there's a great many aromatherapy diffusers available, from little, inexpensive plug in units, to professional models which make a cloud of pure, intense aroma. For anxiety relief, any model where you can smell the aroma will do the job - the higher end diffusers tend to bathe a larger area in your aroma of choice.

How to chose an oil for you, your family or friends? Aromatherapy choices tends to be some personal. Some folks go mad for Rose Geranium, and other folks can only think of 'grandma' (in a nice way!) with the bright scents of florals. These same individuals will often love the grounding aromas of the woods: Sandalwood, Frankincense, Spruce, etc. The beauty of the scientific data is that it's not one type of essential oil that's effective to support health and wellness naturally - it's the santalol in Sandalwood, the linalool in Lavender, and the citronellol in Rose that imparts much of the therapeutic effect. Other oils have different chemical constituents that also bring about relaxation. Even the most scientifically aligned practitioners will tell you: if it feels good, use it. Try a variety of aromas if you're new, and use your favorite with confidence - relaxed confidence, of course - knowing you're using some of the best medicine nature has to offer, with the science to back it up.

Poker Has Been Around For Centuries

By Mr. Casino Bonus

People have been playing poker since the 1700's. It is claimed to be the oldest game that has not varied much over the years. It is believed that it will last for centuries more.

Historians claim that three versions of poker have been around for centuries. most historians allege these three countries are the basis of modern day poker Persia as the game of as nas, Germany as pochspiel, and France as poque. Poker's name derives from the French word poque, which translates to English as "to bluff."

The origins of the game have been debated for three centuries. Even though it has been traced back to the 1700's, no one will ever know exactly the truth. However, there is no doubt that poker is one of the most fun and exciting games around.

Poker became popular during the Revolutionary War in the United States. The game of choice for soldiers was the version of stud that used only three cards. The five-card version of stud became a useful diversion during the Civil War.

Five-card poker began as a game for four people who were dealt the entire amount of a 20-card deck. This version eliminated the lower cards of a normal 52-card deck. The object of this game was to bet on who would have the best hand.

Once the game included all of the cards in a 52-card deck, the game became more complicated. With the lower cards involved, the game also gained more popularity. This popularity brought poker further than just a simple game between soldiers trying to forget where they were.

It is also believed that poker got its start in New Orleans during the early 1800's. Then the game expanded up the Mississippi river through riverboats. Gambling has continued to this day on the Mississippi on riverboat casinos.

It is believed that the settlers and gold rush miners brought poker to the west coast in this theory of the evolution of American poker. Offering various versions of poker and its derivatives saloons and casinos were built throughout the west. These movements helped establish poker as an all-American pastime.

In modern days, seven-card stud is the most popular version of poker played. It has become famous by Las Vegas casinos. Tournaments and tables have been specially made for the seven-card game called Texas Hold'em.

The many different versions, which developed through the years, are still played today in many casinos and online. The only exception to this is the first version of the game. The three-carded version of stud seems to have been lost in the past.

Many things last throughout time, but poker is probably the most exciting. The longevity of the game thus far proves its durability and addictiveness. While some things may wane with time, poker will be around forever.

The Effects Of Acne & What You Can Do About It

By Nathan James

Acne can have a devastating effect on people's lives - it can have mental, physical and emotional effects. Just how serious an effect it has will depend on various factors, such as the person's emotional resilience and the severity of the acne itself. People who suffer from severe recurring acne problems often feel the effects more seriously.

In some cases, people who suffer with acne develop feelings of helplessness and defeat. Ultimately it can lead to social withdrawal and avoiding personal contact with people.

Even common things like going to school or work can become very difficult. Because they are often very self-conscious about their appearance, they feel that other people are laughing or commenting behind their backs. This problem can be particularly bad for teens.

This self-consciousness can ultimately cause their personality to change and they can develop feelings of jealousy and envy of people who aren't dealing with acne. These people may be classmates, siblings or coworkers.

While acne is commonly considered a teenage problem, there are many adults who suffer from it as well. Because it is often seen as a teenage problem, they are often even more self-conscious about it than teenagers are.

For these reasons, it is imperative that acne sufferers seek medical advice. A doctor or dermatologist will be able to make a thorough diagnosis of the condition and determine just how severe it is.

They will also be able to suggest the most appropriate treatment program, both for the physical condition and also for the mental and emotional stress than can be a result.

Seeking medical advice early on can often help to avoid more serious outbreaks and can help to stop the emotional effects before they become too severe.

A Basic Tutorial

By David Peters

Understanding Photoshop can be a daunting task especially when facing the program's lack of simple tutorials and somewhat unintuitive interface. Set aside any worries though as the basics of Photoshop are easy to understand.

Photoshop is basically made up of four areas: the menu bar, at the top, the toolbar just below it, the toolbox on the left and the palettes on the right. The menu bar and toolbox always stay the same, as they contain the different modes and options that you can choose, but the toolbar changes depending on context.

An updated status of your image is provided by the palettes. This includes a history of all of the actions and changes you have made along with a thumbnail image of the current results.

As an example of how the interface changes as you use it, select the type tool from the toolbox (looks like a capital T). Note how the toolbar changes completely to permit changes to the font name, size etc.

Now notice the updates in your palettes. The type tool modification will be added to your history in the history palette, and a new layer will be generated for your text and displayed in the layers palette.

Whatever you're trying to do in Photoshop, then, the chances are that your starting point will be either the toolbox or the menus. While the toolbox contains everyday tools such as selecting, filling and making shapes, the menus have more complicated functions like blurring, sharpening, and all the other effects Photoshop can achieve (mostly to be found under the Filter menu).

Once you have chosen a tool from the toolbox, you can adjust its settings through the toolbar. In this, options from the menu will typically open a dialog box. Should you want to go back and make a change to something you have done to your image, use your palette history for the quickest fix. Experiment with the palettes as they have other uses also such as changing colors, naturally under the colors palette.

How To Make Stretch Marks Look Better: Get Answers

By Maia Pells

Stretch marks are so common to most people that it has actually become a normal part of their life. But is it normal? Many of us who have undergone puberty have our first experience with stretch marks during this stage. In case you were wondering why this usually happens at this time, the explanation lies in the fact that this is the period when the body grows rapidly and the sudden expansion takes a toll on our skin.

The lines that form on the different parts of your skin is the result of overstretched middle layer of the skin called the dermis. If it is stretched to its limit and breaks, the production of collagen is disrupted. Without collagen, the skin tissues are no longer elastic and will easily tear thus resulting to scars called stretch marks.

Gaining and Losing Weight - Stretch marks can also develop during pregnancy or if one is obese or working out. They can also occur in individuals who have lost a lot of weight. There are many treatments out there that can tell you how to make stretch marks look better so there is no need to worry if you are facing this problem today.

What Are The Remedies?

Going Natural - If you are one of those people who prefer not to undergo a major surgery or get an expensive treatment for this trouble of yours, then there are some other ways how to make stretch marks look better. Getting a tan the natural way might not be advisable due to risks like skin cancer.

Tanning Treatment - The other alternative would be to get a sunless tan treatment. You can use over the counter lotions and sprays to help cover up the stretch marks. Going to salons for in house treatments are also effective but tanning beds might not be good for your skin in the long run. Instead of tanning products, you can purchase body make up that matches your skin tone. People in the fashion industry use this all the time but you have to make sure to use products that wont irritate your skin.

Some solutions are water resistant so you can use this to cover up the scars even when you go swimming. The current swimsuit fashion features suits that have shorts as bottoms. This type of designs will give you more covering for your thighs and buttocks. You can also wear a one piece suit instead of a two piece to cover up the marks on your abdomen.

More Cover-Ups - There are more permanent ways of how to make your stretch marks look better. Some people decide to get a tattoo to cover up the scars. They usually prefer this for its aesthetic quality and also for the reason that tattoos can distract ones attention away from deep and dark stretch marks. But getting this type of remedy can be painful and sometimes dangerous as well. So if you decide to stay as far away as possible from needles or any type of incisions then topical creams or oils can be a good option.

Stretch Mark Cream - Many people apply synthetic or natural creams on the affected areas because these can effectively heal the scars and keep the skin healthy and smooth. However, it is always good to consult your doctor first before using any treatment especially if you are pregnant. Once you have decided on how to make stretch marks look better, you will no longer be burdened by this problem ever again.

Horse Training An Exciting Career

By Heidi Edris

Ask yourself the following questions in order to decide whether horse training is right for you

1. Do you like horses and if it is horse training that you really want to do? 2. Have you taken part in horse shows and been to or watched any horse races? 3. Do you want to learn new information about the kinds of horse feeds on the market, as well as find out the required dietary allowance for each type of horse? 4. Would you enjoy grooming horses every day? 5. Would you mind talking to them? Horses obey more through human contact, especially the human voice, this is from the studies made. 6. Are you an encouraging person? 7. Do you have leadership quality? 8. Are you willing to put tacks or harnesses on the horse in order for them to be used to the tools? 9. Do you mind riding the horses and observing their behavior with each temperament when asked? 10. Are you going to be patient when training them?

These are the ten basic questions that are often asked by horse training instructors to those who wish to be around horses. Being around horses can be very dangerous. Due to that reason alone, it is only fair that the aspiring horse trainer is there because of his free will.

There are usually some expectations from each horse trainer when you choose horse training as a career because it is just like any other career. Mostly the owners would like the trainer they chosen to handle their beloved horses can stop from kicking, resisting grooming and bolting every time their reins aren't secured.

When you choose horse training as a career, you as a horse trainer, are responsible to teach the riding, driving and racing techniques to the horse. By bestowing the horse the knowledge the plan training as well as the methods, the horse trainer is doing his job well. Owners have the choice to hire independent operators or have their horses enrolled at a training school. Whichever way they go, horse trainers are in demand.

Finer breed of the horse are more expensive. Even the ordinary ones are expensive. Since it is a good investment there are some horse trainers who are knowledgeable about the mating of horses pair up a stallion to a mare, depending on the horse type, in order to come up with a good breed of foal.

Horse training as a career can be a good choice which will give you good returns but you must love what you are doing. That is the bottom line.

Dental Health: Prevention is the Best Medicine

By Amy Nutt

It probably comes as no surprise to you that the best way to make sure your teeth are in good shape is to keep them that way right from the start. Even if you've had problems with cavities and such in the past, it's never too late to start taking proper care of your teeth and you can start your kids early with preventative dental care, too.

Babies and Toddlers

Don't wait until those first baby teeth make their appearance. Use a damp rag over your finger to wipe your baby's gums on a regular basis. There are even rubber slip on fingertip cleaners designed specifically for this purpose and nothing apart from a little water is necessary.

Once the first little pearly whites pop through the gums, it's time to switch to a baby toothbrush. Again, use just water, since babies don't need toothpaste and it can actually be harmful if they swallow it on a regular basis. This basic dental care can continue up through the toddler years or until your child is able to spit the toothpaste out, usually around three years. Alternatively, you may look for a toddler toothpaste that doesn't contain fluoride.

Children

By the time your little one is ready to start using toothpaste, you should have a good toothbrushing routine down. Two to three times a day is good, with the brushing session lasting at least 60 seconds, though three minutes is actually the ideal. Setting an egg timer or playing a special song can help kids judge the amount of time to brush

Adults

Many adults find that they are too busy to pay much attention to their teeth, but it is definitely worth making the effort. Regular brushing with fluoride enhanced toothpaste will help keep cavity causing plaque away and reduce your chances of getting sick due to a tooth decay issue. You will also save quite a bit of money by taking proper care of your teeth, which involves regular brushing (2-3 times a day) and flossing (at least once a day).

Despite there being specific cosmetic dental care instructions for each age group, there are certain things that will help anyone of any age stay on top of their dental health and ensure that problems are stopped before they even begin.

Getting regular dental care is essential in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. Your dentist can tell you if you need to step up your brushing and flossing and can also instruct you in the right way to remove plaque from your teeth. A proper cleaning is a good idea at least once or twice a year, as well.

In addition to regularly flossing and brushing, there are other steps you can take to help prevent tooth problems. Your diet is particularly important. It's a proven fact that certain foods and beverages are more likely to cause tooth decay and stains than others. Coffee, colas and tobacco are all terrible for staining your teeth, while anything with sugar tends to promote bacterial growth and thus tooth decay. Carbs that stick to your teeth (think crackers), are also notorious for causing problems because they convert to sugar with saliva and get wedged into cracks in your molars where a toothbrush may not reach. Mouthwash can help with this.

Your best bet for healthy teeth is to eat a balanced diet and avoid junk food and having too many sweets. When you do give in to the sweet tooth, make sure you brush afterwards. A little prevention goes a long way and with the proper care, your teeth should last a lifetime intact.

Top 7 Appetite Reduction Tips

By Therese Zachary

If you want to lose weight, you are probably concerned about appetite reduction. Knowing how to limit what you eat everyday can help in the overall achievement of weight management or weight loss. But how do you reduce your appetite? Here are some great tips:

Tip #1: Eat Breakfast

Breakfast remains the most important meal of the day. It supplies you with energy and the nutrients that you need to get through the day. If you skip this meal, you will understandably lack energy and feel like eating more during snack or lunch time. Aside from breakfast you also shouldn?t skip lunch and dinner.

Tip #2: Increase Whole Grain Intake

A look at the food pyramid will tell you how good whole grains are. Whole grain sources are among the kinds of food that you should be eating more of. They are recommended because they provide complex carbohydrates instead of simple carbohydrates.

How to Play Piano

By Leo Prenev

Music is a word which carries many different meanings. For some people, it brings about joy and relaxation while at the same time for others, it can invoke passion and a yearning to earn money. Whatever you think of music, there is one thing that is certain. Music is here to stay.

The piano is one of the most widely recognized instruments around the world. Many countries and nations use this instrument in their music, and if you want to learn how to play the piano, all you need is some dedication and interest.

If you want one on one attention, I would advise you to find a decent piano teacher in your local area. A good way of doing this is through browsing the local newspaper or online classifieds.

Learning how to play the piano from DVD instruction videos is a great alternative to a local piano teacher. You don't have to pay $20 dollars a week and you save a great deal of money in the long run. You can put those savings into purchasing a piano if you so wish.

Once you take up music classes, it is necessary that you do your part and keep on top of the practice. By not practicing throughout the week, you will see a drop in skill and ultimately, a drop in self-confidence.

Some common terms used while playing the instrument are the pitch and the octave. Pitch denotes the piano notes according to its high or low sound. When the key is stuck and the sound produced it is either in high or low frequency. Note that the lowest frequency notes are situated to the far left of the piano and as you move to the right the frequency of the music notes increases.

The term octave refers to the twelve keys placed in intervals. Though they might have the same musical value and they might sound the same they have different frequencies. Seven octaves are present in a normal piano which means that there will be seven sets of seven notes situated in the piano.

It doesn't matter if you want to play piano for a hobby, or whether you want to do it for a living. Practice is what will take you that extra mile and give you the enjoyment for a lifetime.

If you are looking to learn how to play piano, then do as much research as you can. Learning to play piano will take time. It will also involve much perseverance and practice on your part.

Do You Need To Have Surgery To Stop Your Snoring?

By Rudy Watkins

One single method for stopping yourself from snoring will not work for every person in every situation. For some, the only real solution for snoring is surgery.

The type of surgery needed to stop snoring is different for each person. Deciding which one is right for you is done by considering your body and the root cause of your snoring.

The type of surgeon you would consult to find out what your best option is would be a otolaryngologist. They specialize in the ears, nose and throat. Unfortunately, many insurance companies consider snoring surgery a cosmetic procedure and don't cover the costs.

LAUP

One of the most common types of surgery for snoring is uvulopalatoplasty, otherwise known as LAUP. In an LAUP procedure, a laser is used to cut away the uvula (the dangling tissue at the back of your mouth) to reduce its contact with the throat.

The surgery helps individuals whose snoring is related to airway blockage from the uvula.

Somnoplasty

Also common, radio frequency tissue ablation, RFTA, can eliminate snoring problems. Having recently been approved by the FDA, the procedure is called somnoplasty.

RFTA also makes the uvula smaller and keeps it from touching the throat. Results are typically seen from RFTA after a series of procedures have been preformed. Since not much time has passed since the FDA acceptance of RFTA, little research has been done regarding its results.

Coblation-channeling is another modern development for snorers. In this surgery, radio waves are used to make airway tissues smaller in hopes of opening up obstruction. This surgery is extremely new to the medical community, so very little data is available on it.

Repose

Yet another recent procedure is called tongue suspension, going under the trade name Repose. This type of surgery keeps your tongue from falling back and blocking the airway during sleep.

During this procedure the doctor places a screw into the lower part of the jaw bone and stitches are placed beneath the tongue so that it remains in the right place while you sleep.

The last procedure we'll look at is nasal deviation surgery. Blockages in the nose or a deviated septum can cause restricted breathing and lead to snoring. This surgery helps to remove those blockages.

This surgery can produce one positive side effect; it can improve normal breathing throughout the day. For this reason, its cost is normally covered by insurance companies.

As with any serious procedure, you need to get professional advice before considering anything. Talk to a health care professional about your snoring to get an informed opinion of the best choice of treatment for you.

Does colon cleansing really work?

By Alexa Shepherd

Many of us are guilty of leading sedentary lives and cultivating unsavoury lifestyle habits like overeating, consuming copious amounts of junk food, indulging in smoking and drinking. This can result in a poorly functioning digestive system and the need for colon cleansing. Often, people refuse to undertake this medical procedure until they get assurance that is colon cleansing really safe and effective.

You may know the colon as the large intestine or as the bowel. They essentially refer to the same body part. This 1 to 2 meter long part acts to help the body get rid of the undigested waste left over from the food we ingest. After all the necessary nutrients have been taken into our bodies, what remains passes through the colon to be eradicated. These remains can be water, undigested fiber or a type of bacteria called probiotics, just to name a few.

The health of a colon is easily affected by the type of food we eat as well as the lifestyle habits we indulge in. People who are in need of colon detox generally find that their lifestyles include a regular diet of fatty, junk foods that contain high fats, salt and sugar content. Not drinking enough water, smoking and drinking alcohol excessively can also attribute to a poorly functioning colon. These factors, amongst many others, are extremely detrimental to the digestive system and colon cleansing might be an option to help improve on your overall health.

The procedure of a colon cleaning or irrigation (as it is sometimes called) acts to reinstate the balance of a normal, healthy functioning digestive system. Before you ask, is colon cleansing really safe and effective, it is important to understand what happens to your body when a colon isn't doing its job well. Once the balance in our digestive system is disrupted, waste products tend to pass through our bodies at a slowed-down rate. Because of this, toxins have more time to be taken in by our bodies and these toxins might be absorbed into our blood. These pollutants can eventually cause damage to the function of other body parts like the liver and kidney and, serious medical conditions may ensue.

Colon cleaning strives to help the body remove unnecessary toxins in the body and restore the balance and function of the colon. This is supposed to help restore the digestive system and lead you back to good health. Before you put yourself through the process of detoxifying your body's digestive system, it is important to ask, is colon cleansing really safe and effective?

Assess your diet and habits to help you determine if you really need and want to go through the process of colon cleansing. There are plenty of options out there in the market and these can range from expensive therapy sessions to inexpensive do-it-yourself-at-home solutions.

A poorly functioning bowel can, over time, lead to the development of serious diseases as well as terminal medical conditions. Always make sure that you get a professional with the proper expertise to treat this problem for you or you might run the risk of aggravating the situation.

While detoxifying your digestive system is a viable option to better health, overdoing your treatment sessions can be detrimental to your recovery. In fact, bowel movements might be hampered as a result. Inserting an enema incorrectly can also damage your colon and exposure to harmful microorganisms can further weaken your system.

While many undertake cleansing their colon to treat a serious condition, there are others who look to colon cleansing as a solution to weight loss because this procedure does tend to remove excess body weight. Whatever your reason for going through this detoxification process, you must ask, is colon cleansing really safe and effective, and be comfortable with your final decision.
