Cologne Secrets
Two secrets about cologne
Here are two secrets many people don't know: 1. Women are a more attracted to smell than most men realize. 2. A person's sense of smell is one of the longest lasting memories we have. You may forget a face or a name, but you'll remember a smell for much, much longer.
So finding a good Cologne is very important, especially if you are guy in the "dating scene."
How cologne is made
Cologne developers create their signature brands from nine scents, which are called "notes." Every cologne is made up of some combination of the following (which are listed from the lightest scents to the heaviest scents):
Citrus - very bright and light
Herbal
Fruit
Floral
Spice
Wood
Musk
Powder
Leather - very heavy and thick.
Polo Sport, for example, is primarily a dominant floral note while English Leather is a dominant leather note. Your father's Brut is a musk/powder combination.
How to buy cologne that is right for you
All too often, cologne is selected based on price, the shape of the bottle, and how it smells. But when you're shopping for cologne, you need to remember that your sense of smell can only detect three distinct smells before it gets overwhelmed and starts to report inaccurately to your brain.
Instead, you can shop for cologne much more easily: by pictures. Check out the advertising and see what kind of niche the cologne is marketing to: is it the rugged outdoorsman as advertised in an outdoor lifestyle magazine? Is it the active sports-lover in a magazine about basketball? Is it the suave urbane male in a men's fashion magazine? Cologne companies will market their brands to the type of person it is designed for. So if you are "going for a certain look," the marketing department of the cologne companies can help you select the right scent for you.
Just remember, it is not you that is going to be reacting to its smell.
It's that beautiful woman who you want to enjoy it and with smell closely linked to memory, you want her to remember you for a long, long time
The divine fruits of meditation
The best way to achieve the Sreyokarma or the liberating karma is through the meditation. And meditating will lead us to the path of soul's happiness that's etern and sacred.
As a result of the meditation the mind will withraw from the sensorial world and will reach joy, happiness and truth and will not be disturbed any more by sorrow and greed.
Meditation should be practiced with enthusiasm faith and care, following estrictly the established disciplines.
Some think that the benefits of the meditation are that they will be able to easily satisfy their mundane wishes.
But that is a great mistake, because the meditation and the repetition of the name of God are ment to acquire an undivided attention in God, to freedom us fom the sensorial bonds therefore reaching happiness in God.
We mustn't practice meditation with the idea of obtaining earth's fruits, we must meditate looking towards inside of us, until we become...

At Home with Bakelite
"Plastic" objects are part of our history.
These items represent a significant example of Americana.
The Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art and the Philadelphia Museum all include "plastics" in their collections.You do not have to go to a museum to enjoy seeing and collecting "plastic" items.
The primary goal of the new movement, in the 1930's and 40's, was to provide less expensive, decorative, and useful items in the home, using machines to create and service the large population.It created an enormous variety of both functional and decorative high and low cost objects for the home which are sought after by collectors today.
Antique plastic is not a contradiction of terms ? plastics have been around in synthetic form for well over 100 years making them a true antique.
BAKELITE was developed by Dr. Leo Baekeland in 1907 and was originally intended as an insulator for electricity, and is not quite 100 years old.
Besides Bakelite...

Break them and a remorseless force simply sweeps you off the board, clicks you off the screen?and you're not even history. You're nuthin', baby.Abide by these rules and you smile all the way to the bank. I started out not even knowing there were rules.
Within 4 years I'd lost my little all. $235,000 eaten up, gone beyond recovery. Money talks, right? Well, mine went without saying!I learned these rules the hard way. You can too. You can learn the hard way.
Do you really choose to do that? Nobody cares. Nobody will care. It's your life. Now that I've had a chance to think about it, I prefer the easy way. I'd rather learn from other people's goof-ups.
So, let's get started.Rule 1: Have something of value to offer your company or your market . Something you're passionate about. Something that comes from the marrow of your bones. From your core. From your gut.
From your...

Hiking with Children
There is nothing quite like hiking with small children.
The thrill of introducing these young ones to the wonder of nature is matched only by their eyes as they take it all in.
If you follow a few simple rules when hiking with children, things go extremely well.
Forget these simple rules and your treks with the young can be a recipe for disaster.The first thing to remember is that young ones don't understand or know the dangers of a trail that might seem the most basic of realities to anyone else.
Poison oak, snakes and wild animals seem fun to the youngest of hikers.
You know better and need to make sure that your partners do as well.
You'll need to be the eyes and ears of those who eyes and ears aren't yet up to the task.
You'd be surprised how quickly they can get themselves into trouble so you'll need to keep on your toes.Secondly, you'll want to bring lots of snacks.
Little legs burn a lot of energy when they're...
