Internet Dating – the First Date – Tips for Guys

On the net – there are tons of internet dating advice for both men and women. Below are a few tips to assist you on your 1st date.

1st Step:

Don’t act (pretend) to impress. You need to be yourself! You’re going to lose her interest if she has to center on your act or attitude. Try to pretend that she is just a acquaintance and you aren’t trying to win her over, and maybe you’ll be comfortable enough to more easily be yourself.

Step 2:

Remember! First impressions definitely matter. You have to make your date feel like you’re not a lousy or boring partner. Don’t speak too much – and try to balance the conversation. Don’t just say yes or no to her inquiries, but you also do not want to state your life history either. If you simply speak about yourself, then you will sound exceedingly conceited and boring!

Step Three -

Look confident on your first singles date. You need to make her feel like you are bright and amusing. When you speak, you need to sound convincing, but not bragging. Don’t make her hate you before she gets to experience you! You don’t desire to make your 1st date, your last date!

For my last point of advice – you need to have fun with dating online! Try and forget your jitteriness, and concerns. Imagine like your not even on a date – but instead, just hanging out with your friend. Hopefully your first date will be a unforgettable one.

Is it Possible to Decrypt the Lotto Code by Applying Your Own Particular Strategy?

Millions of people every week prefer to use the same lotto numbers for their entries; quite often these are memorable dates in history, which in many countries will only cover part of any potential lottery choices.

Can you decrypt the code applying your own special strategy or rely on an e-lottery syndicate to select them for you? We unrealistically like to believe that if we don’t do anything or sometimes do it the wrong way that something bad might happen, in this instance; if we miss doing our numbers that week they are certain to come up!

Being the person to pick the winning lotto numbers is by nature something every dedicated lottery player wishes they could do and as human beings, we have an innate bias against anything that’s random, we all like some form of control and rules that make sense to us.

So your number comes up more often; why should it come up again? It’s nearly impossible to choose any set of lottery numbers that are more or less likely to win. Lotteries are a game of chance and each lottery number picked is merely at random. So the upshot is – no number is more random than the next.

If you take a look at the chances of probability, as one number is picked the likelihood of your chosen number being picked next is slightly increased because the potential selection is less.

Employing the same lotto numbers will mean you would have to play 135,000 times to even get an evens chance of winning. Unluckily, to win the lotto jackpot you will just have just about a 1 in 14 million prospect of being prosperous; nevertheless we all believe it could be us. Does that sound like a good prospect; would you be better off joining up to a lotto syndicate?

If you choose the same numbers each week, remember they are nonetheless hit-and-miss numbers and you stand just as much an opportunity of winning with those same numbers as with a lucky-dip option. All The Same, if you use birthday numbers in a lotto draw your particular prospects of winning the lotto jackpot still stay the same but also your prospect of keeping the lottery jackpot to yourself is significantly reduced because so many other players use birthday numbers in their choices.

We Need a Mind to Mind Thought Transfer Device

Filed under: House Of Videos @ 5:46 am

Cell phones have a weak electromagnetic field in the frequency range of Microwave. Land Telephone line use means, which confine your movement somewhat, as you have to be connected to the system on the ground or in a location, which has phone lines. Even the walk-around phones in the house have limited range.

Satellite communication systems are often expensive to use and you generally need a clear shot of the satellite. Since we know that the brain runs on frequencies and the these frequencies are in the ELF range, if we can match the two people’s bodies who will be communicating with each other with the same intake of food, amount of sleep and similar genetics and then power their brains up with external sources of energy and tune them to the same frequencies, we should be able to get some thought transfer going.

By keeping the frequencies closest to the human brains normal levels, rather than the microwave levels we will have a much better advantage in seeing such a research project yield the desired results rather than none at all.

Additionally current scientists working in this field in my opinion do not have an open enough mind to believe in what they are doing enough to take the work seriously and therefore may not achieve the results we need to take this research to the next step for human mind-to-mind communication and eventually visualization and complete thought transfer. Think on this in 2006.

Believing in Great Expectations Is the First Step to Dating Fun Singles

Now, I cannot say I’m terribly happy as an “independent” (aka: naturally single) person and be 100% truthful. But, I’m not unsatisfied in that way, either. I merely mention it in this blog as an ear-catching piece of info setting up the story I am prepared to reveal to you

A week ago today I was talking to Sandy, thinking of joining a dating service for Phoenix singles. Now, I write to each of you as a fully satisfied member of the singles network. Seriously, and I almost don’t believe it myself! I like it! If you have read my old blog, perhaps you’re thinkin’, “You totally owe me an explanation.”

Well, I saw this Great Expectations Dating site and liked what I saw. They’re for the serious singles who know dating should mean something.

‘Cause I’d never enjoyed or even tolerated whatever it is that my friends and my family so aptly entitled “The Dating Game.” I faced it more than anyone should. Every night friends nagg, “You’re still single? ” and “Please tell me you two are dating.”

“Nonsense,” I say to them, smiling ear to ear. “Take a look around, I’m not missing much.”

“Whatever doofus,” they say. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”

That’s just my friend (on a good day) hah! Sandy Holland. She beams rational thought to my mind 99% of the time. Loved ones you can trust to offer perspective. She made a good point, and I thank her for it.

Returning to the meaning of this essay. As I browsed from more than three hundred quality singles for my first singles event with Great Expectations, I acknowledged something real. For the longest time, I hadn’t allowed myself the greatest of emotional great expectations for dating and myself in the serendipitous journey of being human. It’s good to be single, specifically with healthy optimism. Embracing your own great expectations makes a difference for those who believe.

What’s Love Got to Do With It? (MHM-Mental Health Matters)

Filed under: Relationships Center @ 1:50 am

Hey I bet you are saying to yourself what does love got to do with it? That my friend is simple, it’s got everything to do with it! You can’t stand there and tell me or even sit there and tell me that love doesn’t have or play a huge roll in your life!

It has everything to do with you. You want to find a mate and be loved, don’t you? Say yes, because I know this to be true. Now why is it are primal interest to love and be loved? When Adam was alone in the Garden of Eden, he got lonely and God in his infinite wisdom, decide to make Adam a mate, from his own rib even.

Now why would Adam become lonely in the Garden of Eden, a perfect place? Now do you see were the very first love and be loved took place? That’s right with the very first person and God agreed with him, so he really must have been lonely and wanted to be loved!

Now we know for a fact that God loved Adam and perfectly I might add, but why was that not good enough for the human race? It’s simple he felt the need to be loved by another human to be complete.

Now do you feel that God made a mistake here? I mean he is the all knowing, the alpha the omega, the begging and the end, so it would seem that he knew it all, does that make sense to you so far?

Well if he knew already that Adam was going to get lonely, why wouldn’t he have created Eve at the same time? We’ve already stated he knows all, so why make Adam suffer all those years? Was it because he loved to see him in pain? I think not!

Now here goes another one of my crazy theories, God knew Adam would indeed get lonely, so this was no big surprise to him. What we don’t understand is why God didn’t make Eva right from the get go? Why not you may be asking, well that’s a very good question you asked and I’ll do my best to answer this question of yours.

It’s sort of like this God knew Adam would get lonely, but he also knew that we as humans built in his own image, would get lonely by ourselves and that we would need a mate. The two shall leave there home and become one. Now here is the tricky part of the whole thing! God knew that Adam and Eve would eat the so called forbidden fruit of good and evil, knowing this he created them anyway, not because he didn’t love them but because of the fact that he loved them.

Now here is were it gets heavy. The so called first sin was actually the first realization that we are part of God, the Holy Spirit will never leave or forsake you, and do you believe that statement? Well my friend Jesus himself said this and as far as I know he was the only sinless soul. Now would you agree with me on this?

Ok we have established that fact that we come from God and we have the Holy Sprit with us always. Has it ever occurred to you that we are collaborators in creation? What this means is God in his infinite wisdom, knew that Adam was incomplete and knew he needed a mate and he also gave us free will.

Now on ward this free will was not the first sin as we suspected, it was actually that we were human beings and connected to God. Yes God wanted it from the get go, for there to be a man and a woman. Why then was Adam lonely, it was God experiencing this, all of Adams feeling and this is why we are called collaborators in creation.

Now when God and Adam grew tired of being lonely and wanted another person to be with them, he created Eva, now adding a new dimension to the relationship, was two humans together both one with God, yet they were creating their time together and God was pleased and he was now exercising the joy of a complete human race.

So Adam and Eva feel in love in the human form and were collaborators in creation with God, that brought his understanding of the human relationship and how he was experiencing the relationship with them and all humans to come for generation and generations and it all started with the basics of love is all there is and when God felt that he needed more than the human races feeling, he then sent his only son The Jesus to earth to feel all that was left out with just human relationships.

He experienced love of the only true form and that would be Jesus, the only sinless soul, who would transform this thing we call death, which started when we first realized that we where part of God.

Now can you see how that love is all there is and God created us to love one another and the two shall become one and love thy neighbor as you love thy self, so yes love does play a big role in the workings of the whole universe and yes love is all there is!

Football 101 – A Girl’s Guide to Football – Offensive Strategy

Filed under: Sports Resources @ 1:10 pm

In my last article I talked about how football and sports bars are a great way to meet quality guys. Before you hit the bar, it helps to know a little about the game, how it starts, and what they are trying to achieve. The offense is where you can watch for the strategic plays and learn lessons in planning that apply as easily to your career as they do on the football field.

Starting the Game

Before each game, the captains from each team and the referee meet at the center of the field for the coin toss.

• The winner of the coin toss has the option of starting the game by kicking the ball to the other team or receiving the kickoff from the other team.

• The game begins when one of the teams kicks off to the other.

• The receiving team must catch the ball and try to advance it as far forward toward the kicking team as possible.

• The play ends when the player with the ball is knocked to the ground (tackled), runs out of bounds, or makes it all the way to the kicking team’s end zone (touchdown).

• The spot where the kick returner was tackled becomes the line of scrimmage. The line of scrimmage is a term for the place the ball is spotted before a play is run.

• Once this starting point is established, the offensive squad of the receiving team will come in and try to move the ball toward the opposition’s end zone.

Offense

The offense is the team that has possession of the ball and is trying to score by moving the football down the field towards the end zone. There are two ways to move the football: running or passing. The offensive team has four attempts, or chances, to move the ball ten yards. These attempts are called downs. Once the ball has moved ten yards or more from the starting point of play, the team gets four new downs to try to move the ball another ten yards. If the ball doesn’t move ten yards forward in four downs, the other team gets possession of the ball (the offense also has the option of kicking – punting – the ball to the other team on the fourth down).

There are two ways to score points while on the offensive side of the ball. One is to kick the ball through the goal posts at the back of the other team’s end zone, which is called a field goal, and the other is to run or throw the ball into the end zone, which is called a touchdown. A field goal is worth three points and a touchdown is worth 6 points. Immediately following a touchdown, the team gets to attempt a kick for an extra point. This is similar to a very short field goal. Following the kick, the possession of the ball moves to the other team.

The offensive team has several players in different key positions:

Quarterback

The quarterback is the team leader who really gets the offense moving. He is the only player that touches the ball on every offensive play, regardless of running or passing strategy. He throws the ball for a pass or hands it off for a running play. Sometimes the quarterback will even run with the ball himself. Quarterbacks don’t have to be large, but most have magnetic personalities and display clear leadership qualities.

Wide Receiver

This position is mostly used to catch passes from the quarterback. They don’t need to be big, but they definitely need to be fast. Jerry Rice is probably one of the most famous wide receivers in football and he could certainly teach the energizer bunny a thing or two about staying power.

Running Back

It’s a dangerous job, but someone’s gotta do it! Running backs take the hand off from the quarterback and run as far as they can before getting tackled by the thugs on the other team’s defense. Their goal is to gain yardage and they take a beating doing it.

Full Back

These guys are crucial to a good running game. They can run like a running back, or block for the running back, giving him a chance to get further down the field. Just like the running back, these guys take a pounding.

Tight End

To clear up a common female misperception, this position has nothing to do with the fit of the uniform. Tight ends are multitalented players who block, catch passes and provide protection for the quarterback.

Offensive Line

There are usually five players on the offensive line. The typical offensive line has a center in the middle who hands the ball through his legs to the quarterback at the start of each play. There are two guards, one on each side of the center, and two tackles who play on the outer edges of the offensive line and are usually the biggest players. The offensive line’s mission is to block for the running back on a running play or protect the quarterback from the defense on a passing play. These are the big guys on the offensive team who usually weigh in at around 300 pounds.

In the final article I will cover defense and overtime, and you’ll be ready to talk some serious football. And, don’t forget to read the sports pages!

Data Recovery/Datenrettung & Securing Data on Computers

Filed under: Tech Life @ 11:35 pm

Data recovery is the process by which the data is recovered from damaged or inaccessible storage media. Data recovery is done from storage media like CD’s, DVD’s, Floppies, Hard disks, Magnetic tapes etc. There are two reasons due to which the data becomes inaccessible. They are logical damage and physical damage to the storage media.

Physical damage to storage media can occur in many ways. Magnetic tapes can break, get crumpled or dirt may settle on the tapes. CD’s and DVD’s can have scratches or the metallic layer may get damaged. Magnetic heads in hard disks can crash or motors may fail. The floppy is notorious for failing frequently due to bending, overheating, cold, dust etc.

There are other reasons like fires, electrical surges etc that can cause data to become inaccessible or lost. There are many methods by which data can be recovered from magnetic media or optical media. The methods most commonly used are Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM), Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), Magnetic Force Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) etc.

In these methods a sharp magnetic tip is placed closed to the surface to be analyzed. It interacts with the stray magnetic field. An image of the data is generated and then repairs are carried out on logical damage and thus the data is recovered. Many companies carry out data recovery.

Logical damage is the damage to the file system. It is not physical but a software problem. It generally occurs due to power cuts, system crashes etc preventing file system structures from being written resulting in file system being left in an inconsistent state.

Logical damage is more common than physical damage. This may cause strange behavior like infinitely recurring file directories, loss of data, system crashes, hard disks reporting negative space etc. The end result is that the operating system cannot mount the file system.

Most operating systems come with repair facilities like, Linux has fcsk utility, Mac has disk utility and Windows has chkdisk facility. There are other specialized programs available which have better repair facilities than the operating systems.

There are also other systems called journaling file systems like NTFS, EFS (used in Windows XP), ext3 and xfs which can be reverted back to their earlier consistent state. These file systems reduce the amount of data loss.

Data back up is the best way to prevent loss of data. The simplest method is to keep data on drives on which the operating system is not loaded. The other method is to write data on magnetic tapes, CD’s or DVD’s or have online backup.

Backups are very important for databases. Data backup is of 3 types. Full backup means backing up all data. Incremental backup means backing up of only the files that have changed. Differential backup is a mixture of these two. There is another method called continuous data protection in which when data is written to a disk, it is also written to another computer in a network.
