Five Reasons To Get A Tutor In College
by dyane hipson - Monday, 16 June 2008, 04:41 AM
Anyone in the world
By Chris Stout When you get to college, you dont have to struggle all by yourself. There are people all around you willing to help out. Your professors will chat when you need to. Career counselors will help you explore your future. Academic advisors will help you navigate the class schedule, and prioritize your course selection. Take advantage of these resources, because they are there to help you out. If you need an extra boost in your studies, consider getting a tutor. Tutors arent for everyone, but if you just need a little bit more attention, then a tutor can really make a difference. Here are five reasons why you should get a tutor in college: 1. Improve your grades Tutoring will improve your GPA. Its that simple. If you feel like you need an edge, get one by signing up with a tutor. Youll end up spending more time with your material, and the results will be dramatic and instant. You cant help but improve, because youve put forward the effort to try harder. 2. Experience one-on-one intensive assistance Tutoring is a different process of learning. When you listen to a lecture, you dont have the same one-on-one intensity that you get when working with a tutor. When you study by yourself, you cant ask all types of questions and expect immediate answers. Tutors are great resources, because they will force you to examine the material youre covering from a different learning perspective. A tutor can also give you instant feedback on your progress. 3. Learn through conversational instruction Tutoring is more laid back than regular forms of educational instruction. Some students need that extra comfort level in order to really involve themselves in the material they are studying. In this unstructured environment, tensions are low and communication is open. Its a great change of pace from the formal lecture structure. 4. Boost your confidence and interest level in the material Finding motivation and support in college is very important. Tutoring is a way to add encouragement to your schedule on a regular basis. The more you work with your tutor, the more confident youll become. With a tutor, youll be more engaged, interested and informed. 5. Learn how to manage your time Tutoring teaches you time management. Hard work is already penciled in at a regularly scheduled time. Tutors give you assignments to complete, so that you can progress through the material as required. Getting in the habit of studying is always a good thing, especially in college. Tutoring isnt for everyone, and all tutors are not created equal. If you have a personality conflict or something, find someone else to help you out. Keep your relationship professional and respectful, and youll notice the results in your academic performance. Chris Stout is a frequent contributor to CareersandEducation.com.

The Alaskan Experience
by dyane hipson - Thursday, 12 June 2008, 01:47 AM
Anyone in the world
By A.J. Klott "FISH ON!!" I yelled, as my seven weight fly rod bent over and the line played it's magical tune of "zinging in the rain". It was hard to tell just how big the fish was or if it was a Rainbow or big Dolly Varden. Hooking a big upper Kenai river trout in fast water doesn't leave much time for species identification. "Hang on to it-we'll chase it and go land it in some calmer water." said Allen, who was behind the sticks of our 20 foot Willie drift boat. We had just entered the Canyon section of the upper Kenai river and while my three other compadres fishing with me on the boat had already hooked some BIG Rainbows and Dollies, I had yet to catch what I will call a "quality" upper Kenai fish. That of course means insulting every trout on every other river in North America, since the eighteen inch Rainbows and twenty inch Dolly Vardens I had already caught were hardly chopped liver!! It's just that I had watched numerous twenty-four inch fish caught in the morning and listened to Allen comment on how this was the best morning of fly fishing he had had on the upper Kenai this year. Again, don't get me wrong-I was catching my share of fish- but this was the kind of fish I was waiting for. Ziiiiinnnnggggg. I stood up in the front of the boat, and Allen gave chase in our wide bellied river pursuit vehicle. I held my rod high and reeled to keep a tight line on the fish. As we drifted towards the "river right" bank, we heard some crashing in the trees. In my peripheral vision I saw some movement, but kept my eyes fixed on my pulsating rod tip. Allen nonchalantly mentioned that we had a Brown bear over on our right, kind of like a guy mentions seeing a 1957 Chevy. It's neat-but nothing to get to crazy about.Keep fishing. Now, I don't know about you, but when I pass within twenty yards of meat eating carnivores-I like to give them more than just a passing glance.Especially, since most of us on the boat were seeing our first Brown/Grizzly bear in our lives, and not everyone gets to see a Grizzly when they come to Alaska. Not to mention that any one of us would make a delicious mid day snack for a bear with the munchies. Allen, trying to be the consumate Alaskan fishing guide, was trying to pass it off as an everyday occurence and make you feel like -"Heck, most of us guides sleep with bears"--but you could tell by his watchful back and forth looks--that he didn't get to see bears that often. As Allen lowered the boat anchor in a nice back eddy, I turned toward the fish and got back to the task at hand. Pump, reel down, pump, reel down. About that time, I started to hear some more commotion from the bank, and about the same time as my fish revealed his Rainbow identity by making an acrobatic leap into the air, I turned to see a bear clawing it's way up a tree. Good, that's what I like to see from man eating carnivores! I turned back at the fish--and then did a double take on the bear. OH @%$+ IT WAS A CUB... ... and we're not talking the kind that play in Chicago!! Faster then I could get the words " it's a cub" out of my mouth, mama bear went into protection mode. We all heard brush being knocked down like tackling dummies at the Chicago Bears training camp and then we saw "Mamas" round face,shoulders hunched, claws digging in as she made a charge at us towards the bank. We all looked over at the same time,and for a brief second, my first thought was: "Oh great, why does this have to happen when I have a nice Rainbow on? I hope I don't lose this fish." Of course, sitting twenty yards away in a boat- in the water- gives one a sense of security. A false sense of security. That bear took to the sky like "superwoman". Paws out and legs flying- without even breaking stride- she was IN THE WATER. You never saw ten eyeballs get so large in your life. I looked at my fish, I looked at Allen, and I looked at that Grizzly, and thought to myself; "Great, I have three other fishermen on this boat and they all match the criteria that I had required to fish with in bear country. They are all bigger and slower and at this point- between me and the bear!!" BUT, if we had to go overboard-I sure wasn't confident that I could outswim these guys. Plus, I had a rod in my hand, a fish on the line, and a natural fishermen's instinct- to not want to lose my trout!! The bear would certainly pick me, because he would get the bonus of having a trout for dessert after having his "Fisherman ala Gore-Tex" entree. I guess I shouldn't have been too worried,afterall, Allen wouldn't have wanted to return to the lodge without his "guests"--too much paperwork!! Right? Allen frantically grabbed at the anchor rope, while "mama" thrashed about in the water. Meanwhile the rest of us had that "deer in the headlights" look, waiting for either instructions from Allen-or the voice of God- to tell us what to do next. "I think we'll fight this fish somewhere else." Allen said, while grabbing the oars and pulling us away with Herculean strength. That- is what they call an understatement. Somewhere else indeed! How about Pennsylvania? Mama had done what she had intended, danger to cub-gone, fishermen white as ghosts, and Brown bear Peace and tranquility restored to the right bank. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! She turned, and splashed back to the shore... I don't know if it was the lowering of the anchor that had startled her, or the banging of the boat, or the splashing of my Rainbow, but we had just witnessed -first hand- how the Grizzly bear protects her cubs in the wild. Pretty much by going NUTS!! We drifted over to "river left", downstream about another 100 yards, and finally landed an exhausted 23 inch FAT Rainbow trout. Of course, the fish seemed an after thought now as all five of us checked our waders for "brown spots", but after all that, it would have made us cry to lose that fish. We all "high fived" each other and still couldn't help but looking back upstream--just to make sure "mama" wasn't still angry. Allen said that it was the first time he had seen a Brown bear jump into the water like that. Really. Then we sat there and all gave our accounts of how the scene "went down". It was great to hear everyones reaction and different version of the "thirty five seconds of drama". We took a picture of that fish- which will be forever on be referred to as the "Bear Fish", and even though it wasn't the biggest fish on that float--it will certainly be the one most remembered. There was no picture of the bear-since everyone was riveted on the real bear on not the Kodak moment. When we got back to our lodge, Allen told the story of our Alaskan experience and some of the older guides looked at him "sideways" like he might be working on a good fish story or nickname.I could see it now... "Who you going out with today? Grizzly Gillette? Allen the Bear Slayer?... Of course there were four witnesses that were ready to back him up and it wasn't exactly like we had said we had seen "bigfoot" or "aliens" for heavens sake!! All in all, I would say we got the true Alaskan experience that day. Nice fat upper Kenai Rainbow trout and Dolly Vardens on a fly, false charged by a Grizzly mom and an unforgettable day in incredible scenery. As the years go on--I am sure the"Bear Fish"will get bigger, the bear will get closer(maybe even into the boat!!) and the legend of "Grizzly Gillette" will grow tall. But not nearly as tall as that BEAR!! A.J. Klott Author, writer of fishing humor,and "fly tack" peddler.A.J. writes about the people,characters and modern day events that surround the fishing world.

Also, custom-made lenses are usually painted to order, so you would need to order them several weeks in advance.

If you are not planning to wear your lenses for several weeks, it is recommended that you change the solution and rinse them once a week. If you forgot to do so and your lenses spent a few weeks in their case unattended, give them a double rinse and place them in fresh solution for at least a couple hours before wearing them. For people who wear corrective or color contact lenses every day, costume lenses will feel pretty much the same as usual. If you never wore contact lenses before, at first you might feel a slight discomfort and an urge to rub your eye. One suggestion is to use lubricant drops, which you can buy from any chemist shop. Also, start wearing your lenses a few days before the party - a couple of hours the first day, 3-4 hours the second day, and so on. Get yourself a pair of exciting and scary Halloween contacts and be the center of attention at any party!

Exercise to Lose Belly Fat - 2 Killer Tips For Fast Results
by dyane hipson - Tuesday, 3 June 2008, 04:43 PM
Anyone in the world
By Tom Gifford Have you been unsuccessfully trying to lose belly fat? If so, there is a good chance you might be making some basic mistakes. In this article, we are going to go over the 2 essential areas that are crucial to have correct if you want to exercise to lose belly fat quickly and permanently. 1. Total body strength training workouts 2-3 times per week. This can melt fat from your body by gaining muscle and increasing your metabolism! The more muscle you work, the more calories you will burn. Remember that muscle is the main thing that will burn fat while exercise. Strength training will help you to lose belly fat because the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn. Don't make the mistake of doing the common "3 sets of 10" on a strength machine with a minute of rest between each set. It is a better idea to follow more of a "circuit training" structure. Here is an example: Warm up: 5-10 minutes 1. Pushups - 10 reps 2. 1 arm DB row - 10 reps per arm 3. DB squats - 12 reps 4. Leg curls on stability ball - 10 to 12 reps 5. Side planks - 5-15 seconds per side 6. Hyperextensions - 12 reps 7. Standing DB overhead press - 10 reps 8. Ab crunches on stablity ball - 10 to 15 reps Go from start to finish, and rest 30-45 seconds between each exercise. Try doing the entire rotation 2-3 times around. This should take no more than 20-30 minutes depending on how much rest time you need. This workout is just an example to show you what a total body workout looks like. There are lots of different ways to structure a workout like this, but this serves our basic purpose. With this type of total body workout, you will exercise to lose belly fat as well as gain strength. Whenever you doing total body workouts, you always want to wait a day before doing it again so your muscles can rest and recover. 2. Interval training cardio instead of long, boring, same speed workouts. Interval training differs from regular "same speed" cardio routines because it is quicker and a lot more fun. It is a great way to exercise to lose belly fat because you alternate between high and low intensities throughout the whole workout. Here is an example: First 5 minutes: warm-up 2 minutes: slow 30 sec - 1 minute: fast (almost as hard as you can) -Repeat the "2 minute slow 1 minute fast" 3-6 times. Last 5 minutes: cool-down By doing this type of routine, you are making your fat loss workout time shorter and more effective. You will increase your metabolism and you will have a lot more fun burning fat! Do this right after your total body strength training workouts 2-3 times per week. Be sure to keep your heart rate in mind. Because you are working very hard, you should check with a doctor and make sure this is a safe way for you to exercise to lose belly fat. Now that you have a structure for how to exercise to lose belly fat. The effort to lose fat does not have to be frustrating and slow. If you exercise correctly and have the right diet, you should be able to lose 1-3 lbs of belly fat each week until you reach your goal! Want to Reprint this Article?

Free Prepaid Cell Phones
by dyane hipson - Friday, 30 May 2008, 03:33 AM
Anyone in the world
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Marcus_Peterson]Marcus Peterson Telecommunications companies, specifically cellular phone service providers, often offer cellular phones for free. Most of the free cell phones, however, come with a two-year contract which tie the user to the carrier. Users are also asked to pay exorbitant penalties if they decide to terminate their ties with the service providers before the end of the contract; this would cover for the heavily subsidized cell phone costs. The higher priced handsets actually come with higher priced penalties if the contract that accompanies it requires a two-year contract that is terminated too early. Prepaid cell phones are quite harder to get for free since using one does not require applications or contracts. In fact, prepaid plans are not really advised for those who would like fancy cellular phones. The selection of prepaid handsets are actually very limited ranging from the most basic units to only the moderately featured ones. Prepaid cell phones may be bought for as little as $40.00 to as much as $150.00. Nevertheless, users who prefer prepaid cell phone plans over postpaid plans but favor fancier phones may always get their cellular phones from other sources. But they have to check their supposed carriers if these companies can configure their cell phones to match their services. There are some carriers who offer free prepaid cell phones but these phones usually are the most basic types, even if would-be users intend to buy the most expensive prepaid credits offered by the carrier. Further, the free prepaid cell phones are actually units which are no longer as demanded by consumers. These phones were often acquired earlier on by the carriers, and they can no longer return to the manufacturers. Thusly, they are older models that are generally undesirable to customers. Cellular phone companies are able to give free phones either online or in retail stores because they do receive commissions whenever consumers activate cell phone services. Carriers are the ones who pay these companies the commissions which they can get when they get a cellular phone plan. This is why carriers offer better deals in offering free cellular phones to monthly subscribers since they are assured of better returns by doing so.

Three Common Mistakes When Applying for Bad Credit Loans
by dyane hipson - Tuesday, 27 May 2008, 09:22 PM
Anyone in the world
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kate_Ross]Kate Ross These mistakes happen because those undergoing a difficult financial situation seldom stop to consider their options and often think that since they have bad credit, a bad credit loan is what they need. However, one shouldnt rush in and should consider what the purpose of bad credit loans is and if the occasion is proper for applying. Applicants should also consider the loan amount that they need and whether theyll be able to afford it or not. And most importantly, if they have already got a bad credit loan, they should avoid getting into a circle of bad credit financing. Purpose and Opportunity The purpose of bad credit loans is to cover for unexpected expenses or to cancel unavoidable debt while the borrower recovers from his credit problems. Using bad credit loans as a regular source of finance is a terrible mistake. If you have bad credit, you should concentrate on improving it and not getting used to finance purchases or expenses with bad credit loans. Thus, only on certain situations the use of [http://www.badcreditfinancialexperts.com/guaranteed-bad-credit-loans.html]bad credit loans is justified. If you have an emergency and need funds urgently, you can apply for a bad credit loan. But you need to make sure to take advantage of the momentary ease it will provide to solve your debt and credit problems. Amount and Affordability The loan amount you can request will be limited due to your credit. However, even if the lender is willing to offer you a certain amount, you need to make sure that youll be able to repay it. The loan installments will be affordable, but if you know that in the future youll incur in more expenses, make sure that your income will let you handle them. Otherwise, it is better if you request smaller amounts or longer repayment programs and you make some sacrifices to free some of your income. Defaulting on a bad credit loan will ruin your credit almost beyond recovery. It may take years to recover from such a situation and it surely isnt worth it. Cycle Financing Many people, after applying for a bad credit loan, relax and start spending more and more. When they realize they cant afford the installments, they apply for another loan to pay off the previous one and so on. This is known as the vicious circle of debt. Cyclic financing is the easiest way to accumulate debt due to interests on expensive loans. The only way for escaping this circle is to destroy the cycle. In order to do so, you need to make sacrifices and cut on your spending dramatically and make sure to repay the last loan without the aid of another loan. It may take some time but its the only way to interrupt the cycle and recover from a process that would otherwise lead you to bankruptcy.

Discover Money Saving Techniques You Can Use Today
by dyane hipson - Friday, 23 May 2008, 10:25 PM
Anyone in the world
By Chris Huff Here are the six easiest ways for saving money every day of your life. No, you won't be required to rob a bank or steal some gas. You just have to commit to these six simple ways. The trick with saving money is changing your buying habits. These six steps show you the new habits you must adopt to save money each day. 1. This might sound crazy, but DON'T CARRY CASH. If I gave you a five dollar bill, I guarantee you'll have it spent in a day. Why? You spend because you have the money with you. You might spend it on coffee or a snack or something not food related at all such as a magazine. However, if you don't have the cash, you'll stop those small-item impulse purchases. 2. DON'T BUY THAT TODAY! I agree everybody should have a super deluxe sparkly whatever. The question you need to ask yourself is DO -I- NEED THAT? This isn't a question that gets answered in the shopping aisle. It gets answered in the next day or two. Guess what, most people find the next day that don't need the item and are glad they didn't buy it. You've just saved money by not buying something you had convinced yourself you needed! 3. BORROW RATHER THAN BUY. This goes for opting for the public library over the movie rental store. Borrow a step ladder to clean your gutters if you only use it once a year. Everybody has extra stuff they aren't using it. Borrow from your friends and neighbors. Look how many items you've bought and only used once! Don't waste you money like that. Borrow it! 4. DON'T PLAY THE LOTTERY. You're thinking a dollar here and a dollar there isn't a big deal. Be honest, do you ever buy just one ticket? Buying three a week is $156 a year. Scratch-off cards can run as high as $10 to $20 a piece. The odds aren't in your favor for winning the lottery or the scratch-offs. Save that money for other things. 5. Don't hate me for suggesting this...CHANGE YOUR HOBBY. Growing up, my main hobby was fishing. The cost of $15 per year for a license and money for occasional new fishing lures was easily under $75 dollars a year. Later in life, I started playing golf. I could blow $75 in one weekend playing golf. Calculate that out to 20 games a year and that's $1500. Look at your hobbies and see if you need to find something more inline with your income. 6. DON'T SPEND WHAT YOU SAVE! I can easily tell myself that because I saved $10 on a shirt, I can spend that money on something else. WRONG! Saving money means s-a-v-i-n-g m-o-n-e-y. If I save $10 on a shirt, I now have more money for paying off my credit card debt, more money for groceries, and more money for paying my utility bills. Every item in this list will help you save money. The more you can cut your spending, the more money you can save for retirement, pay down on debt, and save for a vacation. Chris Huff runs http://www.debt-reduction-solution.com providing information on debt reduction and how you can kill off deadly credit card debt. You can also find ways of saving money from buying groceries to entertainment. For more information, please visit the website.

MBA Schools; Are They Worth It?
by dyane hipson - Wednesday, 21 May 2008, 04:30 AM
Anyone in the world
By Lance Winslow If you are considering a career in business then you know you must get an MBA. But what if you are going to start your own company or work with a fast moving start-up? Well perhaps an MBA may not be what it once was. Why is that you ask? Well as an entrepreneur I have some comments about all this. You see, as far as academia is concerned, I have given enough speeches at enough colleges and universities teaching business to know that those kids are not as bright as purported. Some of the questions they ask after or during the speeches scare me to think these kids will soon be business people. Well not in my company, that is for sure. Scary stuff. Does that mean the kids are stupid; No, certainly not, they simply have not been taught how the real world works. Currently, I have very little use for academics other than the scientific research in hyper advancing technologies and even that is limited to certain programs within only certain schools. You see, Universities are too liberal, deny observation for political correctness and talk too much and do little of anything? Yet sport their high-flying resumes in everyone's face as if they actually know something that those who do it every day do not. So, the possibility of real entrepreneuer doing business with an academic? Probably not, except to sell them on an idea or an account to solve a problem that has perplexed them and they cannot figure out an efficient method to do it themselves due to being stuck in linear academic thought while shackled and watching flickerings as cave dwellers. Consider all this in 2006. "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.

Indoor Organic Herb Garden
by dyane hipson - Sunday, 18 May 2008, 11:06 PM
Anyone in the world
By Anna Hart Growing an organic herb garden is a delightful project. The fragrant plants not only look and smell good; they are also good for flavoring foods. Indoor organic herb gardens have the advantage of being year-round, giving a continuous supply of fresh herbs. An indoor organic herb garden can be as small as a few pots on a window sill or as large as a greenhouse filled with containers of aromatic organic herbs. Herb Choices There are many ways to decide which herbs to include in your organic herb garden. Here are some ideas. 1. Italian Herb Garden: Plant rosemary, oregano, basil, fennel, and chives. Terra cotta containers will make your indoor organic herb garden look authentically old world. 2. French Herb Garden: Begin with lemon basil, marjoram, and parsley, and add other herbs you like to use in French cooking. 3. Fragrant Herb Garden: Choose angelica, bergamot, catmint, chamomile, thyme, lavender, lemon balm, mint, and sage. This organic herb garden is a natural air freshener. 4. Tea Herb Garden: If you enjoy herbal teas, your organic herb garden might focus on appropriate herbs for your tea: catnip, chamomile, lavender, lemon grass, mint, and peppermint. You may not want to theme your indoor organic herb garden, but simply grow a few herbs that appeal to you. Containers Many herbs are well-suited to container gardening, but you will want to choose containers according to the herbs you intend to grow. 1. Those tiny herb peat pots sold in discount stores give the wrong idea. Your indoor organic herb garden will not last long with such small thinking. 2. Begin with containers a bit larger than those in which the live nursery plants were purchased. This will give your plants room to start growing. 3. Once your herbs are stabilized and growing well, transplant them into larger containers. 4. Basil, mint, oregano, and sage are examples of herbs that can be grown in pots of about 8 to 10 inches. 5. If you want a large crop of herbs that is constantly being replenished in your organic herb garden, use 3 to 5 gallon containers. This will assure you of having plenty of rosemary, basil, etc. when you want it. Container Soil Indoor organic herb gardens call for building organic soil. Your soil should have a pH of about 7, since herbs prefer a more alkaline soil. If yours is too acid, add some calcified seaweed. Be sure you use only organic fertilizers to build your soil. Indoor Lighting An indoor organic herb garden will need lighting, especially if your room is not sunny. Lighting is especially important for year-round indoor gardens. Different plants have different light requirements, some preferring bright sun and others preferring shade. Most herbs prefer full sun, but there are exceptions, so learn what each of your herbs needs. Incandescent lights, even though called grow lights, are a poor choice for your indoor organic herb garden. Fluorescent lights are better, and have the advantage of being inexpensive, easily available, and easy to set up. The best choice for lighting your indoor organic herb garden is high intensity discharge lighting, often called HID lights. These are even more affordable and efficient. Useful and Beautiful An indoor organic herb garden can be both useful and beautiful. Herbs are generally eager to please, and require little maintenance. Simply give them the right food, water, and sunlight, and they will reward you abundantly. 2007, Anna Hart.

Accutane Side Effects Lawyer: Hair Loss, Depression, Suicide

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Anna_Henningsgaard] Anna Henningsgaard You probably know the drug isotretinoin by its trade name, accutane. Accutane is a powerful drug often used to treat acne. Unlike other acne treatments, which are simply antibacterial agents, accutane actually changes the composition of the skin. Accutane causes skin to produce less oil, which almost always results in a reduction of acne. Accutane is very powerful and effective, but this comes with some very dangerous side effects that everybody should be aware of. If used or administered improperly, accutane can do more harm than good. Almost everybody who uses accutane suffers from mild side effects like itchy skin, chapped lips, hair loss, and nosebleeds. These are very minor compared with some of the more dramatic side effects. Accutane causes horrible birth defects if used while a mother is pregnant, and women taking accutane have to sign a contract that they are willing to undertake an abortion if they become pregnant during or directly after their use of accutane. Other problems include decreased night vision, joint pain, and disorders of the intestinal and urinary systems. Some patients develop terrible headaches that can lead to brain aneurisms. Some patients taking accutane fall into severe depression and many have committed suicide. The actual numbers are hard to come by because the majority of accutane users are young adolescents, an age group that is always plagued by raging hormones and emotional swings. When these young people take their lives while using accutane their families do not always realize that the depression, and resulting death, was actually caused by the drug. Some people feel that drug companies should be held responsible for distributing a drug with side effects as life-threatening as the disease of depression. If you or someone you love is using accutane and is suffering from any of these terrible side effects, please talk to a trained drug lawyer. Victims across the country are filing suit with Roche Pharmaceuticals, the makers of accutane, to gain justice for the terrible side effects accutane has unleashed. Accutane can produce pleasing aesthetic results, but at a potentially devastating cost in health risks.
