How to Choose Your Wedding Dance Lessons Studio

By Peter Michael Jones Learning how to dance together is the most romantic, entertaining, fun activity you will ever do together. Its not hard, and the return on the investment of a few hours of your time is a lifetime of pleasure. The “First Dance” has become a pivotal part of most weddings. You don’t want to look silly, or have it be boring, but you also don’t have a lot of time, and of course cost is, naturally, a factor. Still, try to make learning how to dance together an opportunity, not a chore! First: relax, don’t worry. If you can walk, you can dance. Next, if you have a special song that you want to use on the Big Day, great; work with someone to decide what the best style of dance is for that song. If you don’t have a specific, special song, it won’t be a problem, and great dance songs are everywhere you look. Just take a little time. Most dance instructors suggest giving yourself six months. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are saying you need to take two lessons a week for half a year to do one dance(!), but rather that starting six months before the wedding will give you ample time to, a) check out the options available to you, and b) comfortably learn how to move together, without feeling pressured and under the gun those last few weeks before the wedding – when you will be juggling a thousand other last minute things. Wherever you are located, there are lots of options for learning how to dance, but choosing a quality Dance Studio or instructor does take a little research and some common sense. The internet makes the research part easier, but don’t overlook various other local listings, referrals from friends, or flyers and/or cards at your other wedding vendors’ locations. Also if you are shopping around looking for the cheapest thing you can find, keep in mind that you generally do get what you pay for – you may learn how to do a few steps, but you might not be learning how to dance, and people will be able to tell the difference. It won’t be much fun to do, and haven’t you been to weddings and watched the couple move like wooden automations while they danced? Yes, sure they learned the dance, but they didn’t learn How to Dance together, as one. Married life is hopefully going to be a long and wonderful dance through the years together, giving and taking, leading and following. If you can, make that First Dance a perfect symbol and springboard for your future together. One of the things I have noted in the past is that students work best when they are comfortable and relaxed, so be sure that you actually like your instructor! That should be the first thing you decide. Take advantage of Trial lesson offers, introductory lessons which are either low cost or free. (But be prepared for the interview afterward, when the instructor or studio presents their comments, recommendations, and of course the Pitch. After all, the Studio does want you to take lessons – it has to, to stay in business. But do not let a Hard Sell trap you – if the studio has to resort to Used-car-salesman techniques, it may not have a lot of confidence in its instructors.) Look for atmosphere. Are people friendly? And is the Studio clean? When you are dancing, remember to always have fun. That’s the most important thing. Learning a dance and its specific steps and rhythm patterns are just tools you use to make the dancing (the communication between two bodies) easier. But it is your First Dance! Remember to keep it stress-free so that you can enjoy it! Peter Jones has been performing, dancing and teaching in New York City, London and Dublin for more than 20 years. Choosing to focus on beginning dancers to share what he feels is the most exciting, entertaining and engaging social interaction possible, he discovered a special connection with wedding couples, facing that daunting First Dance without a clue about how to do it. His relaxed, low-key approach makes couples immediately comfortable, and carefully constructed lesson plans optimize whatever amount of time wedding couples are able to devote to learning how to dance.

Why Do I Fish?

By John McCabe As part of an email discussion list I’m part of, the subject of following our passions came up. I mentioned that one of my lifelong passions was fishing. I got the following reply… Thanks, John for sharing your passion with us. So — John — when you are fishing… What do you enjoy most and why? I’ve never fished and would like to understand your passion better. That made me stop and think. Why did I spend so much time with a line in the water? Or reading about fishing? Or watching fishing TV shows and videos? What did I get from that, that I don’t get from other things? Here’s how I answered her… One of the best things about fishing is that it can be different things on different days. Some days, I can set up a chair on the beach, throw my line out, and just stare at the horizon and listen to the water. With the fishing rod, I’m fishing. Without it, I’m a loony without a clock tower ;-) . On those days, I may or may not catch anything. It really doesn’t matter. When the sun goes down and I leave, I feel renewed and totally relaxed. On other days, I have to catch something. Solving the puzzle — where are the fish and what will get them to bite — is important. So is the execution — doing things just right, as evidenced by that electric tug on the line. Did I mention that fresh fish, well prepared, is one of the greatest eating pleasures on this earth? Fishing as an activity can also be solitary or social. Catching fish is cool, so is not catching any. When you’re out with good friends and that magic day hits when all goes perfectly right, you come away with stories that brighten your eyes for years in the retelling. On the days when the fish don’t bite, you can spend time in conversation, solving the worlds’ problems or your own. Sometimes there’s the quiet time, when all of you can sit back and bask in the feeling that you are all doing exactly what you chose to do, with people you chose to spend time with. Finally, (bet you didn’t think I’d make, did you), I practically grew up in a fishing boat. My folks had a cabin on a lake in Minnesota where I spent hours in an old rowboat with my Dad and my grandfather. Listening to them, and later joining in, taught me a lot of what I know about being a man. Those evenings of watching for the bobbers to sink are some of my best memories. As a labor of love, I have a web site called Outdoor Adventures (no longer operating). I’d like to share the opening with you. “Why do we venture outdoors? It makes us alert, pulls us out of ourselves, and engages us in something bigger. It’s a restorative that cleanses us when we’ve become muddied and makes us healthy when we’ve become sickened. It’s a brace against pessimism.” I hope I’ve been able to let you feel a little of what I feel for this wondrous pastime.

Beat Winter Colds & Flu With Aromatherapy

By Paula Polman ‘Tis the season alright. Flu bug, cold bug, sniffles, sneezes, stuffy heads, runny noses. Chances are you’ve already been hit by at least one of these symptoms. If you’re like my family, you’ve been hit with them all. Here’s a few essential oils that may help alleviate some of the symptoms and make everyone feel just a little bit better. Clear the Air An easy way to make the air in your winter enclosed home feel fresher and help beat off the bugs is to diffuse oils into the air. You can do with with a diffuser, lamp, ring or simply by warming some water on the stove and adding a few drops of oil to that. Just watch that you don’t let the pot go dry. Some essential oils you can use: eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint, tea tree, ginger, orange, cinnamon, cypress, bergamot, frankincense, clary sage, pine, chamomile, lime, juniper, lavender. Go Steam Your Head When your head is stuffed and congested or you can’t stop coughing then steam your head. Steaming is an age old treatment to let warm, moist air into your head and lungs. Often used with herbs and essential oils for penetrating power. The cough from a cold is usually made worse by the dry winter air. Pour boiling water into a metal or glass bowl, then add your essential oil. Drape a towel over your head and position your face 10-12″ above the bowl. Breath deeply. Some essential oils you can use: cypress, eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, lavender, rosemary, frankincense. Bathing Beauties Got that sore, achy feeling all over? Nothing feels better than a nice warm bath. Add some bath salts to help draw some of the metabolic toxins out with your sweat. Add some essential oils to ease chest and nasal congestion. Some essential oils you can use: cypress, eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, lavender, cedarwood, myrrh, rosemary. You CAN Sleep with a Cold Sleeping when you can’t breathe means a long, tiring and restless night for you. Things you can do to help ease it a bit is to make sure you have a humidifier or vapourizer going in the room. The humid air helps keep your air passages moist. Next add the same penetrating oils from the “Clear the Air” list. Whatever worked best for you in that list, use it here. Make sure your vapourizer has the proper insert for adding essential oils. If it doesn’t, a small ceramic dish beside the steam outlet (not over) will work nicely too. Close enough that the dish warms up from the steam, but does not block the steam’s path. A couple of drops of the oil placed on a cloth close to your pillow will give an extra boost until the scented steam takes effect. Why so many suggested oils? Simply because some oils work better on one person than another. Some oils are easier to find than others and some people may have known reactions to certain oils. You need to play with the different oils and see which ones are most effective on you. There are many more oils that can be used for these conditions. Pick up any aromatherapy book and you’ll likely find more oils suggested. However some require advanced knowledge to utilize them safely, some aren’t quite as effective as the ones listed here and some are wonderful but are just too costly for all but the most dedicated users. The best thing you can do is try a few of the more common oils out and see how they affect you. As always, pick up some reputable books on aromatherapy and find out more about the oils you’ve chosen. You’re on your way to a healthier, smelling-good kind of home.

Six Important Facts No One Tells You About Relationships

By Dr. Brenda Shoshanna Most of us have many dreams about what relationships will be like or should be like. Weve lived with these dreams forever, so when the real thing happens, and we find ourselves in a relationship reality can be quite a shock. Some people feel tricked, trapped or like failures. Others do everything under the sun to change their partner, change themselves, or figure out why their marriage is different from the way they thought it would be. The first step in truly understanding relationships, however, is to realize that what we dream about or imagine, is not necessarily what is going to happen to us. And that doesnt mean there is something wrong with ourselves or our relationship. It just means that we didnt know what to truly expect. Here are six facts that no one ever told you about relationships that is important for you to understand. When you do, youll find that many of the tangles loosen and as you relax your relationship can grow naturally. Number 1) Relationships are not static. They can, will and must change. No two people stay the same during the course of a life time. Their needs, wishes, and interests vary. It is unreasonable to expect that relationship partners will always grow and change in the same ways, at the same time. This has to be accepted and included in the relationship. It is not necessary for the two of you to always think the same way, like the same things, or be in the same place at the same time. Just because you may have different tastes or interests doesnt mean that the two of you arent in love. For relationships to remain vital and healthy it is necessary to have a core of mutual interests, activities and desires, but, it is also crucial to make room for differences between you. This doesnt necessarily mean you are growing apart. It may just mean that you are growing, and will have even more love and understanding to bring to your partner in the long run. Number 2) Romantic feelings of excitement, intoxication and infatuation necessarily wax and wane. Many people expect to feel in love with their partner on a daily basis. By this they mean having romantic feelings of excitement and infatuation, feeling as though they cant wait to see the person, and miss them if theyre gone. These individuals must learn the crucial difference between loving a partner and being in love. Romantic feelings of excitement, intoxication and infatuation necessarily wax and wane. There are times they appear and are very enjoyable -other times they fade into the background. This does not mean something is wrong or that you do not love each other. Love is not based upon fluctuating feelings, but upon a solid foundation of mutual respect, consideration and communication. Although it is wonderful and important to set aside time for romantic time together, the daily on-goingness of life requires a much deeper understanding of what it means to truly love. Love is often tested in the fire, and frequently sacrifice is needed. In order to truly love, one must grow as a person, and that is what relationships are for to help us grow in our ability to discover what love really is.. Number 3) Love is not dependency. Its all right to be who you are, be different from him, have friends and activities of your own. Its also all right, to give him time with his friends and private space. Love always includes trust of the other, and the knowledge that the more your partner is able to enjoy others, the more he will be able to enjoy being with you. The less you suffocate and possess him, the more he will want to be with you. The less you let him suffocate you, the more you will love him and the more he will respect you. Its fine to be two, separate, whole people. From that basis, a lot of love can grow. Number 4) Being angry doesnt mean you do not love each other. Some feel that as soon as they are angry with their partner or their partner is angry with them the love has gone out the window. Of course, if anger goes on for too long, or is not dealt with properly, it certainly can erode the quality of a relationship. But being angry is not a sign that he doesnt love you, or you him. It is simply a sign that it is time for good, open, honest, careful communication to take place. On-going communication is the heart and soul of every good relationship. When we bottle up our needs and feelings and pretend to be who we are not, then all that has been hidden will explode through anger. But, when we recognize anger, irritation or resentment as it arises, and freely discuss our needs or responses with our partner, not only does the anger diminish, but our relationship grows closer. Take anger as a sign that you are being an opportunity to communicate more and know each other better. Let it make you closer, not further apart. Number 5) Even though youre together all the time, you still must make time for one another. Actually, you must actually carve out more time for each other when you live together. Living together its easy to take one anothers presence for granted. But just because the person is there physically, does not necessarily mean youre sharing quality time. Children, errands, pressures at work and social obligations can create a whir of activity, but not intimate time between the two of you. Carve out intimate time when the two of you are alone. Go some place special. Make time to talk and hug. Make time to have fun alone. This is a wonderful refresher to every marriage and should be done at least weekly. Number 6) Being together for a long time doesnt have to take the magic away. Its wonderful to have someone at your side, who you share experiences with year after year. There is no way to replace a person who youve gone through many years with, sharing common experiences and memories. The sense of continuity and trust that can develop between you is a jewel. It is wonderful to wake up each morning, knowing this person is at your side. As the years pass you know each other better and better, whatever happens you both know there is someone there for you, who understands what you are going through. As our ability to share grows, the burdens of life diminish greatly, and the joys intensify as well.

Let’s Plant Potatoes in the Garden

By Kathy Anderson Potatoes, taters, spudscall them what you will, potatoes are a staple in the diet of many people all over the planet. Potatoes are a nutritious, versatile vegetable, and theyre incredibly easy to grow. But before you run out to the garden with your shovel and hoe, there are a few things you should know about planting potatoes. You may have heard old timers say that potatoes should always be planted on Good Friday. This old wives tale is absolutely absurd. Good Friday does not fall on the same calendar date each year and can fall anywhere from early March to mid April. If folks in New England or the upper Midwest tried to plant potatoes on Good Friday, many years theyd be digging through rock-hard soil that was still frozen solid. Do not plant potatoes too early, while the ground is still icy. If the ground is too cold and wet, the seed potatoes will delay sprouting until the growing conditions are more favorable. This is usually in early March to late April, depending on the climate. Potatoes do tolerate cool soil and a light frost, but not much growth will take place until the soil warms up a bit. You wont find potato seedlings or packets of potato seeds for sale at your local garden center. Instead, potatoes are grown from seed potatoes. A seed potato is nothing more than an ordinary potato, with at least one eye. Back in the day before supermarkets, when gardens supplied most of the food put on the table, the last of the potatoes in the storage bin come spring were used for seed potatoes. Wise gardeners set aside their blemish-free, healthiest potatoes for seed. Seed potatoes can be planted whole, or they may be cut into pieces with at least one eye per piece. Seed potatoes with more eyes will grow to produce a larger quantity of potatoes but the potatoes will generally be smaller. Seed potatoes with fewer eyes will produce fewer potatoes, but those potatoes will tend to be larger. If you choose to cut your seed potatoes into smaller pieces, divide them a day prior to planting. This allows the cuts to heal over slightly, which helps to prevent soil-borne diseases from infecting your potato crop. Always choose seed potatoes that are free from blemishes. Plant your whole or cut seed potatoes two to three inches deep in good, rich soil. Rows of potatoes should be about three feet apart and the potatoes within the row should be planted twelve inches apart. If your potato crop has suffered from scab in the past, toss a small handful of dry pine needles in the holes beneath your seed potatoes. Along with moving your potatoes to a different section of the garden each year, this will help prevent further scab infection. Potato scab appears as rough patches on the skin of the potatoes. Depending on the warmth of the soil, potato plants will begin to emerge from the soil anywhere from one to three weeks after planting. When the plants are about a foot tall, use your hoe to mound six to eight inches of soil continuously along the entire row of plants. This is called hilling. Hilling ensures that the potatoes will grow deeply under the soil, away from sunlight which would cause them to become green. Potatoes that suffer from greening will be bitter and the inedible green parts must be discarded. Keep the potato plants evenly watered while they are growing. A dry period followed by a rainy spell will cause some potato varieties to develop a hollow core. Yukon Gold potatoes seem to be especially prone to this problem. Another potential problem with potatoes is the Colorado potato beetle. The larvae and adult beetles will feed on the potato foliage, and a heavy infestation can damage the foliage enough to reduce your harvest considerably. Watch for the beetles yellow eggs on the undersides of leaves and crush the clusters whenever you see them. Larvae are a deep orange color with a row of black spots on both sides, while the adults are a paler orange with black stripes on the body and black spots on the head. The larvae and adults can be picked off the leaves and crushed if there are only a few. An infestation can also be controlled with Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt. Bt is an organic control that is very safe to use. Look for Bt that is specifically for potato beetles. It is sold in many garden catalogs and garden centers. Once your potato plants have bloomed, you can begin to harvest small new potatoes. Depending on the variety of potatoes youre growing, this is about eight weeks after planting. In the fall, after the foliage has begun to dry and die back, the entire crop can be dug. Before storing them in a cool, dry and dark place, make sure the surface of your freshly dug spuds has dried a bit. Spread them out in a dry spot out of direct sun, such as a garage or shed, for a day or two before putting them in storage. Freshly dug, crisp potatoes taste better than any youll buy at a grocery store. Grow some yourself and discover how easy and fun it is to produce a staple crop of delicious potatoes for your family.

Energy Drinks Started the New Age Beverage Industry

By Jorge Olson Everyone wants to enhance their lives and their health in some way. When there’s a product that promises to help with our health or with our well-being, we tend to give it a second look to see what it might be able to offer us. And while the fountain of youth and vitality is yet to be found, new age beverages are stepping into the market in the meantime. What’s interesting is that new age beverages don’t have special ingredients necessarily in order to appeal to the masses. One of the early trends in new age beverages was actually the bottling of water into individual containers. Consumers were shown that their ordinary tap water just wasn’t good enough, clean enough, or pure enough for their drinking habits. People began to carry around these individual containers and sip water frequently. The water bottles became status symbols of good health. There are numerous producers of this water that emerged. Some waters came from natural springs, while others came from exotic places. And people drank it up. They didn’t mind spending an additional dollar on the bottle of water and liked the idea that they were getting their daily recommended water allotment. But as new water filters were created, people began to think that perhaps they could make’ their own bottled water taste at home, so this trend began to decline. That is not to say that many people are not still buying water, but fewer people seem to be as interested in the market. To supplement this trend, market researchers began to look at what was missing from the beverage market. One of the first things that they saw was that the supplement market was doing well and that maybe there was a way to add these kinds of supplements to the beverages they were selling. Liquid vitamins had been around for a while, but what if they were added to tasty beverages? People loved this idea and thus the new age market really began. People loved the idea that the supplements in these drinks could enhance their metabolism and increase their energy. They craved the idea that a drink could help them focus or help their stamina. Ingredients like guarana and taurine, caffeine and Echinacea were all added to the drinks, giving each beverage a sort of purpose which allowed manufacturers to charge a little extra for the drink itself. These drinks could also be flavored with fruit juices and artificial sweeteners, which allowed them to be low in calories, but better tasting than their ordinary’ soda. New age beverages seem to be increasing in choices as well. You can now find these drinks at local gyms and delis in addition to the normal soda selection. However, people love things that are new and different, so these drinks tend to be more popular than ever. And with cool designs and bottles, people love to carry them around and show off their taste in new age beverages.

Using Water to Make Your Hair Beautiful

By Jim Huffman We tend to think of hair problems as being an external thing. In other words, we think that if we only wash with the right shampoo, condition with the right conditioner, or whatever, our hair will be beautiful. If only it were that easy! The secret to luscious, beautiful hair is internal. In other words, its what you put in your body that determines 90% of what your hair will look like. Hair grows out of the scalp, which is part of your skin. And when your skin is healthy, most of your hair problems are taken care of. A regular hydration program (our 20 glasses of water a day in addition to the other liquids youre drinking) helps to keep the body free of toxins and other waste products. When the body is not getting enough water, poisons can accumulate in your system. Even if those poisons are not enough to cause you to be noticeably sick (although I would argue that you still wont be as optimally, vibrantly healthy as you could be) they can still cause your skin, hair, and complexion to be not as beautiful as they could be. So, get going on your water program today! Its especially important to maintain a large amount of fluids during warm weather, when your body will secrete a larger than average amount in sweat. And if youre going to be out in the sun, bring a water bottle along! It sounds elementary, but its something thats easy to neglect, and youll neither feel your best, nor look your best if you do. But I wouldnt want you to neglect the external uses of water for your hair as well. Water cleans the daily grit and grime from the hair. It especially cleans the pores and follicles of the scalp, enabling them to breathe. And again, during warm weather, you might want to wash your hair more frequently. That goes double for times when youre out in the sun, or when youre exposed to a lot of salt water at the beach. If salt is allowed to accumulate in the hair, it will leave the hair looking lifeless and dowdy. Remember what I said earlier about washing. Water is the primary ingredient for washing. Soaps and shampoos can help, but water is what you need the most, and you should be liberal in your use of it. If youre on the beach, and theres a public shower, for example, rinse your hair frequently. You dont have to always use shampoo — just make sure you rinse it well! (The same goes for any time you use shampoo: make certain all of the shampoo gets rinsed out). The shampoo you use should be gentle and easy on the hair. Baby shampoos can be good at such times, because they are obviously designed to be less harsh than some adult shampoos. The primary thing youre looking for is a very gentle soap to remove dirt youve got in your hair. Conditioners can be useful in helping to revitalize the hair, too. They are especially useful when the hair has been damaged. Damage can come from a lot of factors. Prolonged exposure to the sun can be a biggie. But coloring the hair can do it, too, as well as other chemical exposure. There are many conditioners to choose from, but one of the simplest and gentlest on the hair is plain vinegar. Before you think Im nuts, give it a try. The process is easy. After washing your hair, and thoroughly removing rinsing out any shampoo, pour over your hair a mixture of 1/4 cup of white or apple cider vinegar and 3/4 cup of warm water. (The vinegar should be pure vinegar, without additives. If its food grade vinegar, its fine to use for this). A warning: close your eyes tightly before pouring this over your hair. While it wont really hurt your eyes, they will sting if it gets in them. After putting the mixture into the hair, massage it into your scalp. Then rinse it all out. Your hair will be bright and lively, and will feel wonderful. The important thing to remember, though, is the water. Make use of it. And your hair will thank you for it.

Not So Ulterior Motives

By Kenneth C. Hoffman Laurie was upset. On her face, frustration hovered under brimming eyes, her hands waving in distress. I asked her what was wrong. She cleared her throat and said, “JoAnne. I have to tell her that I don’t want to be her friend anymore – but I can’t do it.” JoAnne was Laurie’s constant companion, ever since they met at a friend’s house two years ago. They shopped the stores together, had coffee together and talked for hours on the telephone. But JoAnne hardly ever offered the cost of a tank of gas much less something for the insurance and upkeep for Laurie’s car and ignored Laurie’ birthday without even a token “Happy Birthday”. It wasn’t poverty that prompted JoAnne’s frugality, since she had hundreds of thousands of unused dollars in her bank. Laurie on the other hand always used her own car, paid for the lunches, and took JoAnne to her doctor and dentist appointments. Only a perfunctory “Thanks” was offered in return. The girls always treated JoAnne to a nice lunch at a fancy hotel on her birthday. JoAnne was once overheard as referring to Laurie as “Just my driver”. JoAnne only thought of JoAnne and this bothered Laurie greatly. One day JoAnne asked Laurie to act as driver for some out-of-town guests JoAnne was to entertain. Laurie was to pick up the guest, show them the sights during the day, then bring them to a fancy restaurant where JoAnne would meet them to celebrate. Laurie was of course invited. When Laurie got home, there was a message on the tape that JoAnne’s daughter (the one who didn’t want to use her car to sight see) decided to come to the party and would Laurie mind not going? Laurie was hurt and disappointed. Laurie was uninvited. Another episode further defined JoAnne’s attitude. Once when Laurie’s car was in the shop, it was suggested by JoAnne’s husband that they use their car for the day’s shopping. Before JoAnne could stop herself, there came a look of finality on her face as she said. That! is out of the question!.” Observing that this cavalier behavior was seriously affecting Laurie’s happiness, my advice to Laurie was to taper off seeing and talking to JoAnne, aiming for a severing of their relationship. But Laurie could never hurt anyone’s feelings that way, no matter how deserved. It also made her sad to think of losing a friend. Finally I convinced Laurie to install a caller ID. on her phone and not answer the usual nine AM call to pick her up for shopping. Soon thereafter, JoAnne planned a three week trip abroad, inviting Laurie to come along to help with the luggage and chores. Laurie said that she couldn’t go at that time. On her return, Laurie knew that JoAnne must finally know the truth, that their friendship was over. Still devastated, Laurie could never quite find the courage to tell JoAnne the reason for ending their friendship. It would hurt JoAnne’s feelings too much. Never a dull moment.
