The Many Benefits of MP3 Audio Books

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

With the ease and convenience that the MP3 format offers, it is natural that MP3 audio books have become popular. Purchasing MP3 audio books offers a lot of benefits that aren't available when you purchase conventional audio books. The format itself is full of advantages. Let's take a look at what you get when you buy a book on MP3. 1. MP3 books are eminently more usable than other audio books. Very little equipment is needed to use and transfer MP3 files. You don't even really need an MP3 player: at bare minimum, you can use them using only your computer. This presents an advantage when you listen to the books and then want to share them with your friends. With a CD, your friends would need a player on which to listen. While CDs seem ubiquitous, they are fast becoming obsolete and not everyone has a CD player, much less a portable version. MP3 books are much more usable than more conventional CD format books because they offer more choices for playing them. 2. MP3 formats offer a price that is much more reasonable than other formats.** End Summary**

Four Benefits to Online Dating

Wed, 01 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0400

Online dating is a great way to meet people and to get to know a bit about them before you invest time and emotional energy in a relationship. Here are four good reasons to give it a try. 1. It's easy. It's much easier to connect to people on an online dating service than, say, to go to a bar and try to talk to new people. Or to go on a blind date that a well-meaning friend arranged for you. Or a lot of other more "traditional" ways of meeting people. With internet dating, everybody posts his or her profile, and you can check each other out in privacy, without distractions and without pressure. You have less risk of rejection, because you usually email or message each other before talking about actual dating. It's a lot easier to approach someone online than in person, and you can move forward at your own pace from there. 2. It's less random. When you go to a social gathering and meet someone new, you don't have any idea what interests him or her, what he does, what kinds of things she likes, or anything else.** End Summary**

Four Types of Online Dating Sites

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400

More and more people are using dating services. Despite the media-advertised perils of meeting people over the internet, it is becoming common practice. Wired magazine recently commented that in twenty years it will seem odd not to prescreen people you want to have a relationship with through an online dating service. Indeed, in 2004, online dating services were the largest segment of paid web content in the US. There are at least four types of online dating services: general dating sites, compatibility sites, niche sites and networking sites. General Sites Most general dating sites are free. You usually post a profile, and you can look at other people's profiles. Most general dating sites have features that help you connect with people you are interested in. Look for forums, chat rooms, messenger functions and buddy lists. There are zillions of these sites, so it may be a bit difficult to sort out the ones that you want to participate in. Get recommendations from friends if possible. Find out if your friends have tried some of the sites, and ask what their experiences were like. Remember that there is no way to know if the information in someone's profile is true.** End Summary**

Communication in Online Dating

Mon, 02 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400

One of the advantages of online dating is that you can be completely anonymous. One of the disadvantages of online dating is that you can be completely anonymous. Breaking through the anonymity while maintaining safety and privacy is the big challenge of online dating. Online dating communication usually progresses through four distinct stages: text, audio, visual and in person. Step 1: Text Communication Online dating communication nearly always begins with an email. Most people email back and forth for a while before progressing to the next level of communication. While emailing, they usually explore topics of common interest without giving out personal information. Another online dating communication method is instant messaging. IM is similar to email except that it occurs in real time and allows you to respond to each others' comments. It's like a text conversation. Before signing up for an online dating service, it's wise to establish an anonymous email account with a public internet service, such as yahoo or hotmail. Use this email account for all online dating communication. You can usually establish an IM account with the same name as your email account.** End Summary**

Weight Loss with the Body-for-Life Diet

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0500

One of the great strengths of the Body-for-Life program is its simplicity. You can read the book, written by Bill Phillips, in one or two sittings. You can be up and running with the program in no time. It is one of the few weight loss programs out there to place an equal emphasis on diet and exercise. When it comes to diet the rules are relatively straight forward: * Eat small meals, six times per day. * Each meal should include a portion of carbs and a portion of protein. * A portion is defined as the size of your fist. * Include a portion of vegetables with a couple of the meals. * Drink plenty of water. * Replace some meals with nutrition shakes when in a hurry. * Plan ahead to be sure old habits don't fill the void. * One day per week, your free day, eat whatever you want. The concept of the free day, in particular, is brilliant. How could you consistently follow any weight loss program that said you could never again eat your Mom's apple pie? The psychological lift you will get from the free day far outweighs any downside.** End Summary**
