Can Parsley Induce Menstrual Period?
Parsley is a well known kitchen herb as it is frequently used as a garnish for many dishes. It is also widely used as flavouring in salads and soups. Many persons believe that these are the only uses of parsley. But this herb has so much more to offer and it was a desperate situation that made me aware of other benefits. I had a special celebration to attend for about one week and I was due to see my period during that week. I hate altering the course of nature but I began to explore ways in which I could delay my period. Unfortunately I was not too keen on most of the options as nearly all of them required some type of hormonal use.
My research on the subject made me aware of another alternative. Instead of delaying my period I could induce it to come early and get it out of the way before my celebration. One of the solutions for inducing the menses was a strong tea of parsley. Ginger is claimed to be helpful too. Persons have claimed to drink several cups of the tea per day for several days before their menses and were successful in getting it to come early. One person reported that her menses came within a day of drinking parsley tea.
I decided to give this parsley thing a shot. Five days before I was due to see my period I brewed some parsley tea and even added some ginger to it for good measure. I drank several cups per day for two days and got impatient when I had no success. This does not mean that the claims about parsley are not true. It was emphasized that the parsley leaves had to be fresh and the tea had to be strong solution. These two factors could have contributed to my failed attempt at inducing my period. For what it is worth while I was drinking my concoction of parsley and ginger I experienced feelings in my stomach that were similar to the ones I would have just prior to my period. In addition my period came at the appointed time, but it was not as heavy and it ended a little earlier than usual.
I am tempted to believe that there may be some truth to the effectiveness of parsley tea in inducing one’s period. Who knows, perhaps patience was my biggest obstacle.

Stainless Steel Solar Garden Lights
Solar garden lights have been covered to some extent in other articles on this site (see for eg. solar patio lights and solar yard lights). The focus of this entry will be on the stainless steel variety of outdoor solar lights.
The benefits of solar yard lights are clear. They provide lighting at nights using energy from the sun captured and stored in batteries during the day, and therefore do not incur any additional electricity costs. In fact, they will help reduce your electricity bill if you substitute the non-solar garden lights with the solar types. With this benefit, one can equip one’s garden with not only lighting for security purposes, but what can be considered non-essential lighting, such as lighting for simply aesthetic purposes, without having to worry about a resulting recurring electricity cost. Another benefit is the easy installation, and lack of wiring generally needed. There are some types of solar garden lights though, which allow the solar panels to be placed away from the light source, and this would require some amount of wiring. So considering the benefits of solar yard lights, it is understandable why one would want to invest in them. Having made this decision, one now needs to decide on the quality to go for.
Stainless steel solar garden lights are a worthwhile investment. As outdoor lights, they are exposed to the elements, and therefore the stainless steel (usually used for the stake and/or shade) is fitting, being resistant to harsh temperatures and rusting. They stand to last for several seasons, while still maintaining a pristine look. So even though stainless steel solar garden lights tend to be more expensive, they will probably serve you better in the long run.
There are a variety of solar garden lights that come in stainless steel. So whether you want to have bright spotlights for security purposes, or just enough light to illuminate your pathways or driveways, or just to enhance the decor of the yard, you can find suitable stainless steel solar lights.
To illustrate the variety of outdoor stainless steel solar lights, a few will be highlighted here. If you’re looking for something bright, maybe as a security measure, then there is Earthtech’s set of 8 stainless steel solar lights, or Homebrite’s stainless steel garden landscape solar lights. Each comes with 3 high output white LEDs,providing lighting 360 degrees and up to 300 feet away. If you want something for lighting up your path, then there is the Westinghouse 10 piece stainless steel solar light set, for example. They have an attractive copper finish, and will provide nice pathway light. If you want something colorful for maybe festive occasions, there is the Sohodecor 2 Pack Single Colors Iridescent Stainless Steel Solar Garden Lights. They emanate light that changes color from red, blue, yellow and others.
Basically, stainless steel solar lighting products are extensive and you therefore should be able to find something suitable for your outdoor lighting purposes.

Laws of Lifetime Growth -Always Make Your Learning Greater Than Your Experience
This is Sullivan’s law #2. This essentially means learning from experiences. It is possible to have many experiences yet learn very little. If we do not consciously think about what worked and what didn’t in the given situation or event, then we run a very big risk of losing out on the great opportunity for growth, and of course quite likely repeating the same mistakes multiple times.
Sometimes we have experiences that are embarrassing, or leave us with a very bad taste. You know those experiences where you would rather forget they happened, and wish everyone else would too. But while they might be painful in a certain kind of way to even think about, it is far more profitable to constructively analyse the particular experience, and extract lessons that can help you avoid making the same mistake, and/or effect a more satisfying outcome when
similar situations arise. When you consider what worked, you can build on that to improve your effectiveness. And when you consider what did not work, you can avoid repeating that.
I recently gave a presentation where for the most part I thought I did okay. But when it was over, I realised I forgot to mention a few important things I had in my notes. I also realised that I did not end in the way that I really wanted to. When I think about these mistakes, it is somewhat painful, and I wonder if my ineffective ending was very noticeable. But if I were to simply just try to blot it out of my mind, I would be missing out on an opportunity to be more effective. When I think about why I made these mistakes, I can try to put measures in place next time to help prevent them from recurring. When I focus on the parts that were particularly well received, I can consider what it was about them that made them so effective, and try to repeat this, and even do it better the next time, which will produce greater success in the future. And that reminds us of law #1, Always make your future bigger than your past.

Lunaire Bras – Coolmax Sports bra
Lunaire bras are specially designed for the big busted woman. So if you are a woman well endowed in chest area, and you are looking for a sports bra that will reduce bounce and provide comfort, the Lunaire Coolmax sports bra should definitely be on your list for consideration. It provides good control for the full figure. It uses careful seaming and an underwire to help keep you contained and therefore reduce bounce as you move. The bra comes with partial side pockets that can facilitate prosthesis, and two layers of Coolmax to remove moisture. Coolmax refers to a type of performance fabric that has a fiber-based moisture management system. In effect, it removes perspiration from the body, which goes through the fabric, and quickly evaporates. This gives the wearer a cooler feeling and added comfort.
The cups are 100% Polyester. The lining is 100% Cool Max Polyester, and the back is 88% Cotton, 12% Lycra Spandex.
As mentioned previously, this Lunaire sports bra uses an underwire, but don’t let that put you off. You probably think that this would make the bra particularly uncomfortable for sporting activities. However, that is not the case at all. Many women are pleasantly surprised by the comfort the bra provides. The underwire does not rest very hard against the body. This bra also gives nice separation to the breasts, which is in contrast to most sports bras, where the breasts are made to appear as though a single body part. You may finding the sizing (both cup and band) somewhat off from what you are used to. One person who normally wears 34G in one brand, fits comfortably in a size 38DDD of the Lunaire Coolmax sports bra.
The Lunaire Coolmax sports bra will meet the needs of most women when it comes to moderate activity. It is possible that for more active sports, it might not suffice. It might be considered somewhat pricey, but considering the quality, comfort and effectiveness as a sports bra, it really is a good buy. However, keep in mind, that this bra will not work for all. You should try to get a feel for it before purchasing, or at least before buying more than one.

Solar Deck Lights – Moonrays 95021 Solar Powered Plastic Post Side Lamp Light, Bronze
This bronze plastic post side lamp is ideal for lighting up your deck. It is a Coleman Cable brand.
Since it is solar powered, you have the benefit of lighting without the increase in your electricity bill. (See Solar Patio Lights and Solar Yard Lights for more general information on outdoor solar lighting products).
This product comes with an AA rechargeable NiCd battery. It uses 2 white LED lights that produces a downlighting effect (ie. the lighting is concentrated downward). The item is durable, constructed with plastic, including the lens, but has a bronze finish and metal leaf decor. It is easy to install, as it does not require any wiring. It also comes with mounting screws.
Customers who have purchased this product are generally pleased. It sometimes comes as a surprise how small it is. The actual dimensions are 2 x 5 x 6.8 inches. Lighting provided is generally satisfactory both in terms of luminosity and endurance. Depending on the size of area you need to light up, you may need to purchase more than one. This product currently (see date of article below) sells at a little less than $10 (USD). It comes with a little tab to pull out, which will allow the batteries to charge. However, a small percentage of customers have reported that the tab was not visible. If this happens, it is not a big deal really, as you can simply open the battery pack and take it out. Make sure you allow the batteries to charge properly, otherwise you might observe a flickering of the light.
I saw a claim that said Home Depot carries a similar product for $1 more, that is supposed to be better as it has an additional battery, gives brighter lighting, and lasts longer. I was not able to identify which product this could be. If anyone has any idea what this could be in reference to, please post a comment with some details for the benefit of all.

Getting A Girl – Ten Clues That She Is Interested In You
Guys, girls may always be a mystery to us in certain ways but picking up on her non-verbal clues that she is interested in you is easy. Knowing the signs makes getting a date or more, a no brainer.
First you need to know that girls are wired for attraction just like guys. The difference is that guys tend to express attraction verbally like, “hey beautiful, can I buy you a drink?â€
Girls show they are attracted to you in non verbal ways. This means that she is likely to exhibit certain behaviors or actions that show interest. Your job as the man is to pick up on these clues.
Lots of research over many years has proven this. So why do guys not look for them? A man who knows what to look for is more likely to be successful in dating girls. It is sort of like having a “play book†according to Ashok from www.IndianDatingToday.com.
Two guys go into a bar; no this is not a joke! Guy #1 gets a drink and looks around but no one is coming up to him so he figures it is not his night and goes home, alone.
Guy #2 is savvy to non verbal clues so he is looking for those clues the minute he walks into the bar. He is looking to see which girls are noticing him walk in and when he is ordering his drink he is taking mental notes.
He does not just sit down and wait for the girls to flock to him; he is evaluating the girl’s behavior. Once he has identified certain signs, it is game on.
Top Ten Non Verbal Clues That A Girl Is Interested
1: Eye contact is always number one. If a girl is making eye contact she is interested.
2: Smiling at you. This if often combined with eye contact but it shows more interest.
3: Touching her hair. If a girl is touching her hair she is interested.
4: Posture. If she sits up straighter while looking at you she is showing interest.
5: Head tilt. When girls tilt their heads to one side that shows interest.
6: Touch. If a girl touches your arm while talking to you she is interested.
7: Legs crossed with one leg pointed toward you. Definitely interested!
8: Licking her lips. This is a sure sign she is interested.
9: She sends you a drink. This is an invitation, take her up on it.
10: She moves closer to you. She is letting you know she wants you to get closer too.
It is a good idea to practice looking for these signs from girls. If you are not confident about your ability to recognize them then plan to do some “homeworkâ€.
Either go out by yourself or with another buddy to a bar or club and observe the girls’ behavior. Remember, this is just practice so you can relax. Try to identify the top ten signs you have learned from watching the girl’s reactions to you or even to other men.
While we may never fully understand girls we can zero in on their non verbal ways of letting us know we have their attention. In many cases, girls themselves are unaware they are sending these signals.
All you have to do is pay attention to the signs and you can be fairly certain if she is interested in you or not. Provided you are interested in her, all you have to do now is follow through and go for it.

The Healing Wonders of Herbs – Polygonum Multiflorum
Polygonum muliflorum is a herb native to China and is commonly known as Fo ti root. It also goes by the name He Shou Wu. Rich in zinc and other trace elements, it has an unpleasant taste that many would describe as pungent. The herb is considered phenomenal, particularly in the orient, where it is revered for its positive impact on longevity of life. Fo ti root is said to possess anti-aging properties and is a regenerator of the nerves, brain cells and the endocrine glands. It detoxifies the body and strengthens the liver and kidneys. It lowers cholesterol and is useful in ailments such as constipation, eczema, scrofula, carbuncles and inflammation of the lymph nodes.
Fo ti root is a blood enhancer. Consumption of the herb is also said to boost sexual vitality in both men and women. Men reportedly will experience more staying power and can expect increased sperm production. Due to its blood building capability it is said to increase the fertility of women.
One of the more popular uses of He Shou Wu root however is in hair troubles. It is said to aid persons who have difficulties with hair loss. In fact it is so effective that it increases hair growth all over the body. Hence one must be careful in using it for this purpose as hair spurts may occur in undesirable locations. Nonetheless, it is better acknowledged for being able to reverse gray hair, especially the premature grays. The studies done in this area have yielded results where a significant number of the consumers of fo ti root were reported to have witnessed complete reversal of their gray hairs. Others in the study saw partial reversal of their graying hair. Fo ti has to be used for an extended period for this kind of change to take place and it also has to coincide with other lifestyle modifications.

Amla – Benefits and Uses
Amla is the name of a fruit also referred to as Indian gooseberry which is mainly found in India. It is about the size of a lemon, spherical, bitter and yellow-green in colour. Amla is an important element in the age old tradition of ayurvedic medicine. Its value undoubtedly stems from its rich store of vitamin C (approximately the equivalent of ascorbic acid found in two oranges). In fact it is believed to be the richest natural source of vitamin C around, making it a very powerful antioxidant which combats free radicals and aids the anti-aging process.
Apart from vitamin c, amla’s nutritional composition includes water (more than 80%), protein, carbohydrate, fibre, minerals (chromium, zinc and copper) and other vitamins. It also contains Gallic acid which is a potent polyphenol. The uses of amla are varied. Amla is used to treat constipation, ulcers and scurvy. It regulates blood sugar levels and is therefore beneficial to diabetics. Pregnant and lactating mothers and those with memory issues will find it useful. It fortifies the heart and rejuvenates the organs of the body. The juice in combination with honey aids in conjunctivitis and glaucoma. It is also said to be help in ailments such as bronchitis, asthma and tuberculosis of the lungs.
Amla is also becoming increasingly popular in the beauty industry and is presently a significant part of women’s hair and skin care regimens. It has cell rejuvenating properties and is effective in clearing the skin of infections. Amla powder or amla oil, which are applied externally, promotes hair growth by strengthening the hair roots and preventing hair fall, which eventually results in longer, thicker hair. Amla also darkens the hair and is useful in preventing the premature graying of hair and some believe can even reverse gray hair. Amla powder can be used alone or in combination with other ayurveda powders to nourish and condition the hair. The powder is used either as a hair rinse or paste which is later washed off. Amla oil is applied to the scalp usually as a pre-shampoo treatment, but if left on the scalp overnight does wonders to induce sound sleep.

Carbide Drills (Bits and Tips) – An Introduction
Carbide drills are among the best types of drills one can get in terms of durability and cutting ability. The tungsten carbide drill is the most common, and is generally just referred to as a carbide drill. There are however other types aside from tungsten. These drills are made of material that is very hard and strong, and so are able to drill into just about any kind of material, even high density ones like stainless steel. They are however fairly expensive compared to their steel counterparts. Carbide drills also have other advantages, which we will look into.
Drills and Drill Bits Terminology
First it would be beneficial to review some of the terminology pertaining to drills, before we look more in depth at carbide drills. The term drill can refer to the drilling machine itself that has the motor to spin the bit that bores the holes. It can also refer to the drill bit, which as just mentioned, is what is used to interface with the surface and do the actual boring or cutting. The other side of the drill bit is called the shank. For the purposes of this article, the terms drill and drill bit will be used synonymously unless clearly indicated otherwise.
Drill Wear and Tear – Carbide Drills last longer
Each time a drill is used to bore an object, there is some deterioration to the bit itself. The friction between the bit and the surface on which it is impacting, causes heat to be generated, which wears down the bit causing it to become dull over time. Eventually it will need regrinding (which can only be done a limited number of times) and replacing altogether. It is also known that the structural integrity of the drill bit can also get compromised with the continual heating and cooling experienced in the bit. Carbide drill bits generally last longer and stay sharper than other bit kinds. For example, they can last up to 25 times longer than the average steel bits.
Drilling Tolerance -carbide drills have lowest tolerances
One of the major factors that determine the type of drill needed for a particular job is the tolerance associated with the particular drill. Tolerance basically gives an idea of how close the drill will come to producing the required hole size. It is the difference between the diameter of the drill bit being used, and the diameter of the largest hole one could expect from using this drill bit. The smaller the hole, the smaller the tolerance. Carbide drill bits have the lowest tolerances, which means they tend to be more accurate than other drills.
Carbide Drill Bit Types
When one refers to a carbide drill, it is possible that one is referring to a carbide coated drill, a solid caribide drill bit, a brazed drill with a carbide tip, or an exchangeable drill bit tip that uses a carbide crown. It is important to understand what is meant by each, as this will impact the choice of drill to use for a particular job.
Carbide Coated Drills
These drills are technically not carbide drills. They are usually steel or high speed steel coated with carbide. This increases the life span of the drill by approximately 2 to 3 times and can be used to drill thin metals.
Solid Carbide Drills
These drill bits are wholly carbide. It is not just coated steel, or an adjoining of steel and carbide. Solid carbide drill bits tend to be brittle and so are at risk of breaking if usage requires some flexibility of the bit, such as on lathes. On the plus side, this stiffness allows them to have the lowest tolerance measures among carbide drills, making them the most accurate. Note though, they happen to also be the most expensive.
Brazed Carbide Tipped Drills
A brazed tipped drill is essentially a drill bit that has another metal type welded to the end by means of a filler metal or alloy. A brazed carbide drill is usually a steel bit drill with a carbide tip brazed on. This is cheaper than a solid carbide drill and is still fairly accurate. The tolerance is just about twice that of the solid carbide drills for comparable drill diameters. The steel body of this drill allows enough flexibility that the solid carbide does not, and so can work on lathes. Brazed drills have a self-centering geometry, as they have two symmetrical edges for cutting. This is a very stable design that makes it possible for the drill to bore materials at top feedrates, except where the entrance might be angled, in which case, the feed should be reduced by up to 50% both when entering and exiting.
Exchangeable Carbide Drill Bit Tip
There are drills available that allows the tip to be replaced as needed. This type of drill is similar to the brazed in that the head or tip (also called the crown) of the drill can be of a different metal than the main drill body, such as a carbide crown. However, the tip is not brazed on, but can be replaced. Various size crowns are available, so with just one drill, it is possible to drill varying size holes. Replacing a crown costs almost the same as regrinding a brazed or solid drill. As mentioned earlier, regrinding can only be done a very limited number of times. But with a drill where the crown can be replaced, the drill bit will last much longer, as there is no need to do any regrinding. This makes this type of drill very economical. Regrinding diminishes the precision and overall performance of the drill, as it is very difficult to replicate the precise shape and other relevant details in the regrinding process. The exchangeable crown drill does not have this problem, as the crown is simply replaced when necessary. Another benefit of this kind of drill is that, like the brazed drill, it has self-centering geometry and can enter materials at full feedrates.
Having looked at the different types of carbide drills, and seeing their advantages and disadvantages with respect to each other, as well as their benefits over other types of drills (like steel or high speed steel), one can see that it makes sense to get a carbide drill if one can afford it. They are more accurate, they last longer, and they are able to bore into very hard materials. If one intends to cut metal, then a carbide drill might be the most effective option, and when it comes to high density materials like stainless steel, it might be the only option.

The Benefits of Inflatable Hot Tubs
Hot tubs or jacuzzis are luxury items which provide tremendous benefits such as hydrotherapy or just simply for relaxation after a hard day at work. In this entry we will learn about the benefits of a special type of hot tub, called the inflatable hot tub, while highlighting some of the advantages they have over the regular fixed ones.
Cheap Hot Tubs
Hot tubs are known to cost a pretty penny. But there is a way to circumvent the expense. For persons who wish to enjoy spa like benefits at a fraction of the cost, then purchasing an inflatable hot tub is the way to go. Indeed, if you are looking for cheap hot tubs, then the inflatable kinds are at the top of the list.
Soft Hot Tubs – Sturdy and Durable
Inflatable hot tubs, also known as soft hot tubs, are not made from durable wood or plastic as is the case with traditional hot tubs. They consist of an outer casing usually made from vinyl or strong leather like material, which is connected to a pump or motor. They are quite sturdy and are no different from regular hot tubs in terms of their utility. And with proper care and maintenance will actually last a long time.
Inflatable Hot Tub – Quick and Easy Installation
One of the cool things about a soft hot tub is that installation is quick and straightforward and requires no tools. In fact they can be used almost anywhere providing there is access to an electrical outlet. Simply plug in to your electrical outlet and touch button control should result in an inflated tub. If you are without electricity then rechargeable pumps or hand pumps are choices to consider . It should be noted that not all inflatable hot tubs have automatic pumps. There are varieties that are manually inflated. A garden hose will come in handy for filling up your hot tub and the desired temperature of the water can be regulated with the controls on the pump or motor. The water usually takes just a few minutes to heat up.
Your own Inflatable Spa and Jacuzzi
Standard inflatable hot tubs can comfortably accommodate four individuals and is perfect for that occasion when you want to soak up some fun with a few friends. Some of these hot tubs boast excellent features including built in seating and multi-directional heated water jets that generate the bubbling, massaging effects that many persons find tantalizing. This is like having an inflatable spa, or inflatable jacuzzi. Accessory options include cup holders or spa covers to keep out dust and debris.
Portable Hot Tubs – The Inflatable kind
Inflatable hot tubs are one kind of portable hot tubs. This is a significant advantage over traditional hot tubs. Since their location is not fixed or permanent, they can be set up anywhere at any time in your home. Persons who live in apartments will find this very appealing. But they are not just an indoor delight. They can be inflated outdoors in your yard and placed anywhere which is suitable. This can prove to be a very convenient advantage when it comes to privacy. For if for some reason the location in which it is installed is no longer as private as it used to be, one can always select another more private area to relocate the hot tub to. As these hot tubs are portable, they can be conveniently packed up and transported to other locations. This is ideal for when you go away for vacations or even camping trips as you can take along your soft hot tubs. When deflated they can fit in relatively small spaces, hence easy storage.
Energy Efficient Hot Tubs
Another important advantage of the soft hot tub is the fact that they are more energy efficient than the traditional types. The traditional hot tubs can actually use up to twice the energy of the inflatable ones.
A soft hot tub is a compelling alternative to the traditional kind considering all the benefits we have identified. Ensure you get all the facts on the features before making any purchases so that at the end of the day you are satisfied and can really enjoy the hot tub benefits.

Online Dating – Meeting the Indian Girl of My Dreams
It’s never easy being alone during the holidays, especially Valentine’s Day. Being surrounded by couples showering each other with affection and gifts is never fun when you don’t have your own date. It was February 13th and I was already thinking of how lonely I would feel tomorrow. My family didn’t really follow all of the American traditions, but Valentines Day is one of those days that transcends all cultures. Everyone knows that it is that one day to be with the one person you love.
I had my share of failed relationships already and was really trying to find the right person. It was hard since I was looking for a girl with ties to my Indian culture who was ready for a long term serious relationship. I just wanted someone to share the same values and customs as I did since it would make it easier when we planned our future together. Trying to find a beautiful, intelligent Indian woman in the USA is so hard! They are so few and far apart. My mother would constantly remind me, “Ashok, your brother and you need to find nice Indian girl to marry and give me grandkids soon” as she would squeeze my face. All I could do was just shake my head and smile.
During one of many family gatherings in our home I met the most beautiful girl I had seen in a very long time. She had dazzling hazel eyes and full red lips; her long black hair framed her face perfectly. I had to stop myself from staring as I walked to the living room and said hello to everyone. Surprisingly, Damian, one of my brother’s old friends from college was there too. After talking to him for a few seconds, he turned his attention to the beautiful girl next to him and said, “Ashok, I’d like you to meet my wife, Anjali.” I nervously grabbed her hand and said a quick hello to which she shyly replied, “Nice to meet you, Ashok.”
The women went to kitchen to drink some tea and the guys hung out on the couches with beers. It was at that moment that my brother Jay asked Damian what we were all dying to know. “Where did you meet your wife man? She seems like one of those shy girls I remember from college.” Before he could answer, I quickly added, “Does she have sisters, cousins or what?” Damian loved all the attention he was getting and just smiled quietly.
When he saw that we weren’t going to let up he finally told us, “I met her here in the US. I found her on an online dating site.” We all laughed at first, thinking he was joking, but then Damian motioned for us to quiet down and whispered “I met her on a website for Desi singles a while back. After getting to know each another online, we dated for while then got married 2 months ago.”
All of our heads turned to the kitchen to look at Anjali. Damian explained how this website helped him find Desi singles in his area who were looking for long term relationships. The site also coached him with dating after he had met the one that he was interested. The website he told us about was www.IndianDatingToday.com and it works by using the matchmaking site, shaadi.com. We were all doubtful at first, though I had to admit I was curious to learn more.
After the party ended and everyone had gone home, I went up to my room and got online. I did a Google search for dating Indian single women and quickly found IndianDatingtoday.com. After browsing the site I learned methods to find Indian women I was searching for. I was excited and shocked to see so many beautiful, young and intelligent women who were single in my area. This was going to make it so easy for me to find that person I had been looking for my whole life!
Two years later, I am the one who gets to go to parties and family gatherings with a beautiful, intelligent, funny and smart Indian woman in my arms. I met Mita by following the methods I learned on IndianDatingToday.com an Indian online dating site. Even though it was awkward at first, I was coached through our dates which was huge help since I was nervous about making a mistake in the beginning.
We have been married for six months now. As I sit in my living room looking at my lovely wife in the kitchen talking to my mom and I can’t believe how my life has changed by just making a few clicks online. My dreams came true simply by taking a chance. If you are a Desi single looking for that special person then learn how to find her at IndianDatingtoday.com. Don’t wait any longer; go find her today!

Solar Yard Lights – Exploring Your Options

Solar energy is considered green so this is another benefit to using outdoor solar lights.

We will explore some of the options available for lighting up your yard.
There are general solar outdoor lights that can be used throughout your garden. For example, you can get solar lamp posts and solar wall lights which come in various styles. The wall lights would of course require a wall to be mounted. The lamp posts however, can be placed just about anywhere, and with the exquisite styles available, can really add a touch of class to your yard. Stainless steel solar garden lights are available on the market, and really do look quite elegant.
If security is your concern, then you can check out the solar spotlights and solar security floodlights. These tend to have high luminosity and wider range of lighting than other types of solar lighting. Some also have motion detectors that will cause the light to switch on when movement is detected at night.
Solar statuary lights are ideal for the garden. Many different statue forms are available, allowing you to select what is most appropriate for your garden. If you have a pond or pool you could treat it with floating solar pond/pool lights, which can really add beauty to the night view of your yard. Solar garden lights often come in different lighting colors, so you can really make your garden colorful according to your preferences.
Solar path lights are good for lighting up your pathways, driveways, and outdoor steps. They can also be used for lighting up your lawn. Solar stepping stones can be used as path lights by lining them up and forming a glowing walkway.

Egg Rings – A handy kitchen gadget
There are an endless number of kitchen gadgets and devices on the market. One that is not often mentioned is the egg ring. Egg rings are used to perfect the shape of egg dishes such as omelets. Egg rings are generally made from non-stick metal, specifically stainless steel. In general they have a round base attached to a handle. The handle makes it easy to retrieve the egg ring from the frying pan once the egg is cooked. Egg rings are placed into a frying pan and then the egg mixture is poured into the round base. When the egg is cooked the egg ring is removed from the frying pan and the egg is simply released into a dish. The cooked egg should have a perfectly round shape (if using a round egg ring).
The Silicone Egg Ring
Some egg rings are not made from stainless steel but from silicone. Silicone egg rings are quite safe and convenient. This is because silicone is heat resistant up to highs of 4500F/2320C. The base is made from silicone with a stainless steel handle. However, the tip of the handle is made from silicone so that the egg ring can be held without fear of burning the hands. The handle also folds over making the silicone egg ring easier to store.
Usefulness of Egg Rings
The good thing about owning and using egg rings is that each time you prepare your eggs they will always come out with consistently perfect shapes. They also help to eliminate waste because your eggs will be kept within the base of the egg ring and the non-stick feature ensures that you end up with the same quantity you input. Another plus for egg rings is that they do not strictly have to be used in the preparation of eggs. They can be used to create an ideally shaped pancake or any other such delight.
Egg rings can actually help to make your breakfasts pleasurable experiences. This is because egg rings are also available in shapes other than the standard ring variety. The other shapes include squares, hearts, stars, flower shapes and there have even been sightings of animal shaped egg rings. These shapely egg rings help to enhance the appearance of your breakfast items such as your eggs or pancakes and can make partaking of these meals a real treat.
Egg Ring Sizes and Shapes
Egg rings come in various sizes. The largest usually measure about 5 inches in diameter. There are however smaller ones available. This is ideal when you want to make smaller units of egg or other dishes. In fact smaller egg rings can come in very handy when additional items need to be fried. The additional items can be placed in the frying pan, but outside the egg ring, such that the additional items are fried right alongside the egg ring with its contents.
Egg Ring Prices
Egg rings are very reasonably priced. Egg ring prices can range between US$4 and US$21 depending on the brand, type (eg. stainless steel, silicone), size and number in set (they can be purchased singly or in a set).
To sum up, egg rings are wonderful implements to have in any kitchen. Your kitchen should not be short of this appliance as it can really spruce up your meals and add that expert touch to your home cooked meals.

The Soft Cup Bra – An Introduction
The breasts are very important organs of the female anatomy. They contain very delicate tissue that needs to be protected and supported. Brassieres, generally referred to by the abridged name bras, are the garments that perform this job of supporting the breasts. Although they are undergarments, bras have not escaped the fashion maelstrom. There are many styles and designs on the market that cater to the practical needs of women as well as their individual styles. Indeed bras are quite fashionable nowadays with some being lacy and downright sexy. However the most common type known as the soft cup bra will be the focus of this article.
Soft cup bras offer firm support to the breasts but with delicate comfort. Many bras these days are now designed with padding. Padding is a feature in the cups to give the breasts a fuller or more rotund appearance in addition to enhancing cleavage. But padding can sometimes be uncomfortable and also prevents the cup from molding to the contours of the breasts. The soft cup bra generally does not feature padded cups. It utilizes smooth textured materials and sometimes may have a thin lining that gently cushions the breasts. Soft cup bras also do not have any underwires. Underwires can be extremely discomforting because they have the tendency to jab or poke into the skin surrounding the breasts.
There are different types of soft cup bras out there. Some types include sport bras, minimizers and nursing bras. The soft cup sports bra, as the name suggests, is intended for those women who are physically active. They are designed to restrict movement of the breasts while women carry out strenuous activity such as sporting activities or exercise. Made from absorbent and stretchable material, generally cotton and lycra, soft cup sports bras soak up excess sweat from around the breasts, chest and upper back areas. This type of bra is very popular among adolescents or females who are still in the very early stages of breast development and who would have difficulty finding a bra that fits from among the regular bra sizes.The more sexy kinds of soft cup bras come in lace or satin.
The minimizers reduce the appearance of the breast size. They are especially geared toward women who are generously endowed in the bosom. Some can give the illusion of a bust line that is smaller by nearly 2 inches. Nursing bras are another type of the soft cup bra variety. Each cup of the nursing bras features a two piece design. The outer piece gently folds over onto the other piece. This makes it easy to open up at the cup to feed babies without risking too much exposure of the breasts. This is particularly convenient when nursing mothers are out in public.One popular type of this bra, is the Goddess soft cup nursing bra.
This article highlights just a few of the many types of soft cup bras that are designed for different occasions. It is recommended that you shop around for bargain prices and for popular brands of bras such as Playtex, Olga and of course there is the wacoal soft cup bra. For big busted women, Lunaire bras come in a wide assortment to choose from. Chantelle bras are of reputable quality, and known for their comfort and sensuality. Sloggi bras are also a long standing line that is known for its elegance.
