Big Bench Press...So What?
by maurice pye - Wednesday, 5 March 2008, 10:15 AM
Anyone in the world
By Greg Nagaye How much can you bench? is a question I get asked a lot in my profession. Along with the popular media, publications, the NFL Combine, and our obsession with big muscles, the health and fitness industry has created a high incidence of neck and shoulder injuries in both athletes and non-athletes alike. Whats worse, many people are just not designed anatomically to perform this particular exercise the way it is generally taught in text books, universities, and even in personal training courses. Lets begin with two major problems with the traditional bench press. First problem, allowing the bar to drop all the way to your chest will ultimately lead to a stretched out shoulder joint capsule. This joint capsules sole purpose in life is to allow just the right amount of movement to prevent damage to the shoulder joint. The joint capsule does so by communicating with the brain with the use of proprioceptors. The proprioceptors communicate the position of the joint, speed of movement, pressure, tension, and pain in the shoulder. If you stretch out the capsule, you alter its ability to communicate this information to your brain. So, in other words, you limit your shoulders ability to let your brain know that its damaging itself, or even what its actually doing. Second problem, most of the time the bench press is performed on a bench. In this position, the normal movement pattern of your shoulder blades is altered, or even completely disrupted. This occurrence will require more movement within the shoulder joint itself. As more and more weight is added to the bar, the disruption of the mechanics of the shoulder girdle is more pronounced and the overload to the shoulder joint is higher, along with the likelihood of injury. So, the questions remain, how far should I let the bar travel, and if not on a bench, what should I be performing the movement on? Simple, you would need to look at two variables. The first being your passive range of motion, or where your arm will naturally fall. Finding and using your passive range of motion will determine the limits that YOUR joint capsule has placed on your shoulder girdle. Second, you will need to find YOUR optimal bottom position. This position is 2-3 cm past your optimal range of motion. This position will identify a small buffer zone of movement for you, which will allow for a challenge to the movement without damaging the structure. Why is all this so important? Once you stretch your joint capsule, it can no longer stabilize the shoulder joint for any movement. Movements can include throwing a ball, swimming, swinging a bat, driving a car, or even eating. If you repeat these movements with an unstable joint, the repetitive, unstable motion will develop an impingement syndrome within the shoulder joint and girdle, resulting in inflammation and pain. Secondary developments include bursitis and tendonitis. Further, lack of stability in the joint will also result in poor accuracy and performance in sports that require precision movements of the arm. Bottom line, to achieve any and all goals you have set for yourself, see a qualified health and fitness professional who has the skill sets to assess your physical traits and then accurately prescribe an exercise program.

Passover Gifts - The Star Of David And Its Meaning
by maurice pye - Tuesday, 4 March 2008, 11:17 AM
Anyone in the world
By Dale Pindling It is the "Star of David" or in Hebrew ,"Magen David" which in English means The Shield Of David. The six pointed star linked to King David is one of the most significant symbols in all of Judaism.Due to its popularity, there are many possible meanings associated with the star of David. However, the most popular meaning of the symbol is : that God rules over everything and that he protects all from all points ; north, east, south, west, up and down. What is its link to King David ? King David used the 6 pointed star as a representation of his name. How is this so? David in Hebrew is represented by three characters which are : Dalet, Vav and Dalet. The Hebrew character Dalet is a triangle , so King David took the two Dalets in his name (which are both triangles) to represent himself as his signature. King David also placed this six pointed symbol on his shield in which he used for battle.He believed that this symbol would help him secure the help of God and victory on the battlefield. More ideas of significance: Since around the 1600s Jews began to place the symbol on Jewish places of worship and it is currently on the flag of the State Of Israel. The symbol's other possible connections are with Kabbalah, the Age Of The Aquarius, the Merkaba, astrology and more. Most "Star Of David" are sold as pendants. These pendants usually come in gold or silver and are at times placed within a circle. This coming Passover, a gift stamped with the Star Of David is the perfect fit for the most blessed occasion.

Get Yourself Ready to Impress During a Phone Interview
by maurice pye - Monday, 3 March 2008, 06:40 PM
Anyone in the world
By Heather Eagar Preparing for an interview over the phone is primarily a mental exercise, and something that is easy to prepare for. It is the second impression that you will make on a hiring decision maker the first impression was obviously made for you by your resume and cover letter, and must have been positive, or you would not have this interview appointment. That being the case, it is worth while to prepare for it and be ready to put your best foot forward. Step one in getting yourself mentally prepared is to rehearse. Practice in front of the mirror, or with a friend or your spouse listening to you, asking questions and playing the part of the interviewer. Make a list of questions you expect the interviewer to ask and have good answers prepared, but have them on the top of your head in general and not memorized. Memorized answers can sound canned and not real, and will not help you. You need to appear genuine and real. Step two is preparing and practicing two or three ideas that you want to get across to the interviewer as to why you are the right person for this job. If you are having trouble thinking of ideas, read your resume again. Look for the key points, qualifications or accomplishments you have written, and be ready to discuss them. Step three is to think of what you can do for the company. The hiring manager really doesnt care why you would like the job; he cares about how you can help his company if you are hired. Step four is, on the morning of the interview get dressed. Wear the same clothes when you are on the phone that you would wear if you were in front of the interviewer in person. Dress for success and your attitude will reflect it. Dress in your pajamas or an old sweat shirt and your attitude may reflect that as well. Step five is to smile. Smiles are contagious, even if they cant be seen. Good salesmen know this and practice smiling on the phone. There is something in your voice and attitude that is conveyed when you smile, and the person on the other end of the phone can sense it. There is truth in the old saying, Smile and the world smiles with you. It is basic human nature. Step six is to speak clearly and enunciate. Use a good quality phone, a land line not a cordless. If at all possible do not use a cellular phone for the interview. Crackling noises are distractions and bad cell sites, leading to dropped calls, are a negative. You only want positives during your phone interview. Step seven is the interview itself. Relax, be yourself and do your best. When it is over remember to thank the interviewer for his or her time, and offer to provide any other information they might need to make a decision. Be professional and you may well be rewarded with a job. Are you guilty of sabotaging your own job search along with the opportunity to earn more money?

Repairing A Copper Foiled Stained Glass Panel
by maurice pye - Sunday, 2 March 2008, 01:55 AM
Anyone in the world
By Sue Spire If you work in stained glass you must have spent some time repairing, or attempting to repair, a copper foiled panel. Here is an easy way to do it. Cut the top and bottom off of a soft drink or beer can. Then cut the can into strips, varying the sizes from 1/4" to 1" wide. Cut them the entire length of the can. I have found kitchen scissors work fine for cutting this thin aluminum. Starting on either end of a solder seam, run off as much solder as possible. You can do this by fluxing the seam, then holding the panel upright and slightly tipped forward. Slowly run the soldering iron along the seam allowing the hot solder to drop onto a newspaper placed under the panel. Do this on both front and back of the panel. Be very careful so that hot solder does not drop on you. This is not a time to be wearing sandals or open toed shoes. (Sometime, I'll tell you how I know about hot solder and sandals!) If you are removing an edge piece, lay the panel flat, with the broken glass, you want to remove, sticking out over the edge of your work bench. While holding the soldering iron on the seam, slide an aluminum strip between the two pieces. It's easiest to slide it in just behind the soldering iron.(Hold the strip with a gloved hand...it gets hot). Slowly move the soldering iron along the seam and at the same time slide the aluminum strip behind the iron. It will open up the seam for you, and the glass should be easy to remove. When the piece is on an edge piece do the same preliminary steps as for an edge piece. Then, heat the solder at any given point and, using a narrower piece of aluminum, poke it into the melted solder and wiggle it between the two pieces of glass. It works best if you hold the soldering iron on the back side while pushing the aluminum in from the front. Then you can slowly work it around the piece as described above. Once the piece of glass is out, run the soldering iron around the surrounding edges to make sure there is no solder left. Cut a new piece of glass, check for a good fit, foil it, and put it in place. Since the rest of the panel is already soldered, the new piece will lay lower than the other glass. To get around this problem, place pennies under the new piece of glass before you solder it. The pennies will raise it up to the right level. Now you are ready to, solder, clean and patina your newly repaired panel. Once in a while this method won't work, especially if the glass is a really tight fit, but it is worth trying first, before going to other methods of repair. Sue Spire has been working in stained glass since 1975. She and her husband have taught stained glass for most of that time. They owned several stained glass businesses over the course of the last 25 years, and now run a business from their home studio. Sue has a web site at http://www.freepatternsforstainedglass.com that gives links to over 100 sites featuring free stained glass patterns. You will also find stained glass tutorials on the site.

How to Pick Up a Girl: Rapport Techniques
by maurice pye - Friday, 29 February 2008, 06:36 PM
Anyone in the world
By Vince Runza Many guys want to know how to build rapport in seduction. If you're looking for a natural way to do this in your conversation, do what you do with your friends. You already have rapport with them (that's why you're friends), so there are certain things you do (and don't do) when you're talking together. Verbal rapport assumption makes use of a simple idea: talk the way you do with those who are already your friends. You don't ask them for information about themselves and you don't offer information about yourself. You've already gotten to know each other, so the conversation isn't stuck at the getting-to-know-you level. It's a deceptively simple way to get in under her radar. Instead of playing 20 Questions with her (What do you do for a living, etc.) or pester her with 20 Answers about yourself that she never asked about, you take a different track. Simply make some situational observations and pace the ongoing situation until she starts asking you questions or opening up. After all, that's what we do with our friends. We don't re-tell the story of our lives, or re-ask questions we already know the answers to. We talk about what's around us, the current situation we're in. We comment about movies or TV. We bust on each other. Learn to take that approach with a new woman and watch her warm up to you like a friend. The lesson to be learned here is that using your own willpower and taking the right action at the right time beats learning some seduction method you really can't use in your own life right now. You don't need a "guru" to teach you. You just need the right information and skills you honed yourself. Theres a ton of information on seduction online. Some of its good, most of its a waste of your time. If you really want to know how to pick up a girl, follow the lead of a guy whos been an active leader in the Seduction Community since 1999, and knows how to pick up a beautiful woman. Theres no magic secret to it just a proven set of steps you can begin to master RIGHT NOW.

Fishing - Some useful Tips
by maurice pye - Thursday, 28 February 2008, 05:57 AM
Anyone in the world
By John Gibb So you want to go fishing? Well, let me give you some advice. Before you fish anywhere, the first thing you should do is check whether fishing is allowed, and, if it is, whether or not you need to buy or apply for a permit to fish there. Next, decide on what kind of fish it is that youre looking for, so you can buy the right kind of bait. Using the right equipment will massively increase the amount of fish you catch, guaranteed. If youre not sure about what to get, just ask them in the fishing shop they will also be able to help you pick out a rod that matches your height and build well, if you dont already have one. When youre casting a line, always look around before you throw to see if there are people behind you or in front of you you dont want to hit them, and its all too easy to get careless. If youre using a worm as bait, make sure to put it through the hook twice, so it doesnt go flying off the line. Be patient if youre using floating lures it can take a long time, but often fish will be lying in wait, biding their time before they catch their prey. When a fish bites, make sure to reel it in a little, then let it out a little, and then the same again. Slow progress is the key, otherwise the line may break. Work with the fish and it wont struggle. The bigger the fish that youve got hooked, the more important this is patience is a very big part of fishing even once the fish is on the line. Once youve caught a fish, dont leave it to lie around and suffocate slowly thats cruel. Instead, twist its neck or slam it on the ground to kill it quickly and humanely. If the fish is really small, put it straight back, as theres no point in killing it or causing it any more suffering when its no good to you anyway.

Opt For Easier Finance Through Bad Debt Loans Tenant
by maurice pye - Wednesday, 27 February 2008, 04:31 PM
Anyone in the world
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Tim_Kelly]Tim Kelly Tenant normally goes for unsecured loan because he does not own property worth taking loan against. Unsecured loan come with harder terms-conditions and on it if tenant happens to be one labeled as bad credit, availing loan turns out to be more difficult task. Bad debt loans tenant is therefore designed perfectly to offer finance at lower interest rate and low cost with other conditions also made easier. Not only tenants but students, people living with their parents and even home owners are equally eligible for taking bad debt loans tenant. Tenant is free to utilize bad debt loans tenant for whichever purpose they wish. The loan can be used for clearing medical or education bills, traveling around, buying a vehicle etc. Bad debt loans tenant is usually an unsecured loan as tenant does not own property to secure the loan. In the absence of collateral, the loan is indirectly secured on the basis of tenants financial credentials. So to take the loan, tenant should ensure the safe return of the loan through providing proof of steady income, employment status, and financial position so that repayment capacity may be assured. In case of having bad debt, the tenant has bad credit also which is represented in lower credit score. On FICO scale 300 to 850, bad credit is score is below 600 and considered as risky for a loan offer. All you can do to improve credit score is to pay off easy debts which also impress lenders that you are serious in paying back loans. Once the lender is ensured about safe return of the loaned amount, tenant can easily borrow anywhere in the range of 1000 to 25000. Usually this amount satisfies requirements of tenants. The loan can be paid back in 6 months to 2 years. Tenant is slightly at disadvantage as the loan, being unsecured one, is offered at higher interest rate. At the same time efforts can be made towards the reduced rate. Tenant should compare different loan providers for lower interest rate as each of them has own terms-conditions including interest rate. For loan offer every lender has laid down his parameters. Look for the suitable parameters and the loan is availed at comparatively lower interest rate. Bad debt loans tenant is approved fast as in the absence of collateral time wasted in its evaluation is saved. It would be more beneficial if the loan is applied online. Tenant gets numerous loan offers which enables in picking up suitable one having easier conditions. Bad debt tenant loan goes a long way in improving financial health of tenant besides meeting requirements. Pay off the loan in time so that you avoid debt trap.

Welcoming Visitors to Your Church
by maurice pye - Tuesday, 26 February 2008, 01:02 PM
Anyone in the world
By Amy Puckett Don't you hate going to church? Well, a new church, that is. We know we want to go, but it's so easy to give in when our mind gets filled with worries about being the new kid on the block. What do they believe? What do they wear? What are they like? Who are they anyway? Rationally, we know that they are people just like us. We know that we are all God's children no matter what we look like, what we wear, where we sit or how we sound. Right? Sure. Try telling that to yourself when you've just moved away from everything you've known for over thirty years. Yikes! Being new in town and trying to become part of an established group is daunting to say the least. Nothing can make you feel like a lowly fifth grader approaching middle school for the first time more than making those long, slow steps up to the front door of a new church. What can we do to make fellow believers and non-believers alike feel not only welcome, but at-home at our church? To begin with, we can pray. Asking God to show us how we can be used by him is not only a first step, but the most important one as well. We would be wise to begin any community outreach with prayer. Following prayer, we must put ourselves in the shoes of those we are trying to reach. What did you think and feel when you first came to church? If you've been attending the same church for so long you can't remember, consider yourself blessed, and then think about how you felt when you started a new job or a new school. We all have a desire to fit in and be accepted. One thing members of the community may want to know is what style of dress is appropriate. I know some churches where what to wear isn't an issue at all-then there are others where the least blunder with wardrobe is a major scandal. Regardless of the protocol at your church, newcomers must be treated with love and respect. Are children at your church expected to attend a children's church or nursery? If so, make this information clear to visitors. Announcements in the church bulletin are a great way to pass along this information. Additionally, ushers or greeters who politely inform visitors that children's church or a nursery are available along with the location of these programs works as well. If your church passes out information cards to visitors to be completed and returned, by all means follow through with any requests made by the visitor. If your visitor indicates that they would like more information on a particular program, church membership, or salvation, by all means, talk to them! Can you imagine how disappointing it can be to muster the courage to not only go to a new church, but ask for this information, only to never hear from anyone? One of the easiest and most important ways to make visitors feel welcome is to talk to them. Feeling shy? Rest assured-you aren't the only one! See someone who you aren't sure if they are a visitor or not? You certainly have nothing to lose by talking to them anyway. The worst thing that can happen is that you'll get to know someone better! Worried you won't remember their name? That's OK, it's likely they won't remember yours either. The one thing they will remember is that you talked to them. Taking time to pray for, visit with, and talk to visitors are activities that are well worth your time. After all, Jesus commands us to love our neighbor, right? Consider serving on a visitation team, welcoming committee, or just going up and talking to someone with an unfamiliar face next Sunday. I guarantee you'll be blessed! Amy Puckett is a Christian wife and mother. She and her family live in Jefferson, GA.

A Spa Gift Basket for the Mom in the Fast Lane
by maurice pye - Monday, 25 February 2008, 04:55 PM
Anyone in the world
By Michele Rogers More and more ladies are in higher positions at corporations. These ladies are in the fast lane. They wear many hats, for example, soccer mom, work mom, home mom, chef mom, and house cleaner mom. Seems moms now a day never have a moment to themselves, or me time. In showing a work mom you care for her, the best gift that shows her that she can some time and relax is a spa gift. Be it a spa for the day, or if she does not have the time, a bath with potpourri and aromatherapy to make the moment special. A relaxation gift basket that has a bit of everything is the best by far. A relaxation gift such as this would include: cookies, truffles, dessert ice tea, toffee, a picture frame, aromatherapy votive candles, votive candle holder, bath beads, moisturizing hand & body lotion. A gift with these items is sure to calm even the most frantic! In giving a day spa to a mom, is personal, but the day must be set aside for this. Usually there are no days to set aside. The moment can be better spent in having a warm bath with bath salts drawn, and a small table with a candles lit, to set the mood of a relaxing time. Another item to give thought to are rose petals for the bath. The aroma of rose petals in a bath is soothing and relaxing in itself. A mom is more to enjoy a moment more in a bath at home being pampered than at a spa. The moment to her may mean more because, someone thought to take the time and prepare a bath for her. Moms are special and should be given a special time to themselves in this busy society.

Keeping Your Payday Loan Costs Low
by maurice pye - Sunday, 24 February 2008, 02:01 PM
Anyone in the world
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carrie_Reeder]Carrie Reeder A payday loan can help you when you dont quite have enough money to make it to payday. If you are planning to take out a payday loan, do everything possible to keep your costs low. When you are facing a financial difficulty, the last thing that you need is to accrue large finance fees when you take out a payday loan. Always read the fine print. So many borrowers are in such a hurry to get their money, that they forget to carefully peruse the contract they are signing and this omission often costs them lots of money. Sometimes the terms of repayment state that unless you specifically inform the company a certain amount of days before your payday, of the amount of payment you want to make, they will automatically float the loan for anther pay period and only deduct a finance fee from your bank account. If this happens, it can end up costing you money you would not have spent had you carefully read the fine print. Pay the loan back as soon as possible. When you take out a payday loan, make it a priority to repay that loan as quickly as possible. Every pay period that you float the loan a finance charge is deducted from your account but the loan amount that you must repay doesnt change. These finance charges can quickly add up to more than the original total that you borrowed. Even if you cant repay the loan in full, make a payment on the principle each month. View our list of recommended payday loan providers at [http://www.abcloanguide.com]www.abcloanguide.com Shop around for the very best interest rates.
