Why are some people born natural flirts and others couldn't charm the backside of a bus if their life depended on it?
The power of flirting goes beyond attracting the opposite sex. Master the art of flirting and you also become a friend magnet and can use your skills to influence business relationships.
"You've either got it or you haven't!" is often what you will hear men saying when they boast about their conquests. Women, on the other hand, are more coy when talking about a man they have met. So as not to appear full of herself, she will often say to her friends "Oooh, I don't think he likes me, what do you think?" If she is a successful flirt, however, she will be thinking along the same lines of a man, "Yeah, he was putty in my hands!"
Flirting is an art requiring confidence without being OTT. A successful flirt knows how to get the balance just right; too much and there is a real danger you will be labelled as "slimy" (if you're a man) and "tarty" (if you're a woman).
If flirting doesn't come naturally to you, you can learn to flirt by building your confidence, believing in yourself and interacting with other people.
Here are some basic flirting tips which can be practised at work and/or on a social scene.
1. Have Fun!
First and foremost flirting is fun! Whether you are the flirter or the flirtee it makes both parties smile (on the inside as well as the outside!). Don't take it seriously; be playful, be light-hearted, be infectious!
2. Ooze Confidence
The best flirts have a positive outlook on life and are happy with themselves. To successfully flirt you need to feel good about yourself before you are able to transmit this "feel good" factor to the opposite sex. If you display a positive and optimistic attitude to life you will find yourself connecting with people who are right for you.
3. Make the first move
Don’t wait for someone to approach you. If it's someone at work you've got your eye on, wait for them to go to the kitchen and then make a beeline for the coffee machine. The same applies in a bar, wait for them to go to the bar and then squeeze in next to them. Start with a simple “Hello” and take things from there. What have you got to lose?
4. Pay a compliment and receive a smile
A genuine compliment costs nothing and yet can make someone feel so special. If someone looks great, tell them! If someone has achieved something to be proud of, tell them! Once you start making someone feel good about themselves, they are more likely to want to spend more time with you! And if someone pays you a compliment, be proud of the compliment and say “Thank you”!
5. Eye to Eye Contact
Eye contact is one of our most powerful communicating mechanisms. Most people don’t have a problem making eye contact with someone they don’t find attractive but they become awkward in front of people they are attracted to. If you tend to look away at people you like, practice making eye contact with people on your way to work, a quick glance and then turn away. This is a good way to build up your confidence. Don’t stare, however, this will make people feel uncomfortable!
6. Pitch your voice
Learn to vary the tone, pitch and speed of your voice. A voice rich in tones sounds far more interesting than one dull note!
7. Listen
A good flirt has the ability to get people to open up and talk about themselves. Pay attention when someone is talking to you and ask questions to show you are interested. The best questions are the ones which will lead to someone remembering a positive experience about themselves.
8. Move your body!
There are many positive body language signs: lingering eye contact, smiling widely, touching someone, head tilting to one side, running fingers through hair, undivided attention but if you really want to let go and flirt openly – dance! Dancing is a great form of self-expression allowing you to interact with someone and connect.
9. Smile, Smile, Smile!
Make your smile contagious! The more you smile the more people will want to know you and be around you!
10. Don’t be rude!
Flirting does not involve being sexually explicit! Nor does it involve being offensive if someone rejects your advances. If you have been flirting with someone and are not receiving positive feedback don’t get disheartened or take it personally, move on to the next person! You may want to consider a different approach if you are getting a lot of rejections.
11. Send an email
Emails are a great way to communicate with someone if you're too shy to approach them face to face. Whether it's someone you are interested in at work or you want to try internet dating, emails and instant messaging allow you to flirt without blushing or getting tongue-tied.
Be careful not to become intimate online too quickly though; it's easy to paint a rosy picture of the person behind the monitor but until you have met them you don't really know them. My message here is get to know someone online before arranging a date, but don't fall in love before meeting them! The reality could burst the bubble!

Touch by Touch, lyrics provided by the girl in the picture
Touch by touch, you're my all time loverSkin to skin, come undone my cover
When I feel the time is right and your staying by my side
And the love you give to me makes my heart beat
When my fantasy fly away but my feelings make me stay
I see the fire in your eyes, it makes my heart beat
Do it, we'll still do it night and day
You're my all time lover
Do it, we'll still do it anyway
Like there is no other
Touch by touch, you're my all time lover
Skin to skin, come undone my cover
When my heart full of love it makes me a turtle in dove
Love the game that we play night and day
When our love is clear and bright it's our way to see the light
There's a fire in our heart night and day
Do it, we'll still do it night and day
You're my all time lover
Do it, we'll still do it anyway
Like there is no other
Touch by touch, your my all time lover
Skin to skin, come undone my cover
Do it, we'll still do it night and day
You're my all time lover
Do it, we'll still do it anyway
Like there is no other
Touch by touch, you're my all time lover
Skin to skin, come undone my covers
Do it, we'll still do it night and day
You're my all time lover
Do it, we'll still do it anyway
Like there is no other
Touch by touch, your my all time lover
Skin to skin, come undone my covers..
80"s reigning the wave....
Touch By Touch - Joy
The Perfect Date
Ask a woman what the perfect date is and the answer will probably run along the lines of a nice evening out with a leisurely dinner and good conversation. Maybe followed by a nice moonlit walk hand in hand with her handsome man. Stopping for a drink or desert and more conversation/flirting. In other words a slow romantic build up that may or may not lead to something more intimate.
Ask a guy that same question and the answer is pretty obvious, particularly when he's talking to his friends. Did he get to do the horizontal tango.
Which just goes to show that a man and a woman at the same place and time sharing the same experience are thinking two different things.
So then the question becomes does the perfect date exist exist? Probably only in our minds as we map out how we would like it to go, but reality has a way of screwing with even the best laid plans.
But that doesn't mean we can't try to have the perfect date. And it doesn't have to be a one time thing because lets face it, the whole purpose of a first date (unless things go horribly wrong) is to have a second date and many after that. And while not every date will be perfect or as good as the one before it, with a little planning and advice there's no reason we can't shoot for that high a standard every time.
There are a whole lot of guides to dating and dating ideas out there. And that's a good thing, particularly for men. Because you men know how hard it is to come up with original ideas, and that in and of itself is what makes a perfect date. ORIGINAL IDEAS! You have to change it up, you can't be doing the same thing, going to the same place every time. That's not a date, that's repetition. And nothing sets off the boring meter better than repetition.
One other thing to remember is you don't have to use any dating ideas word for word. In other words, don't try to copy exactly what the date guru has put forth. Take that idea and give it your own personal twist. What that is is up to you, but your date wants you to be you. So get your date ideas, even if they aren't yours originally adding your own personality to the idea will make it yours and that makes it as close to perfect as you can get.

Reduce Mortgage or Business Loan Debt - How To Prevent Bankruptcy By Reducing And Consolidating Your Debt
You can prevent bankruptcy by consolidating your debt with the help of a loan or debt consolidation agency to reduce your monthly payments and quickly pay off your liability. But before signing final paperwork, you should develop a financial plan and research your options.
Goal Of Consolidation
The goal of consolidation is to lower your monthly payments so you can pay off your debt and avoid bankruptcy. However, consolidation only works if you make it part of a larger financial plan. You have to be committed to reducing your liability and saving for financial emergencies.
Once you have consolidated your loans, it is a good idea to build a financial cushion of six months worth of cash reserves. This ensures that you can pay cash for the inevitable financial emergency and not increase your credit load.
Your next goal should be to make extra payments. The sooner you can pay off your principal the less you will pay in interest payments.
Types Of Debt Consolidation Loans And Programs
The two types of debt consolidation loans are mortgage loans and personal loans. Mortgage loans are ideal since their interest is tax deductible. However, you need to be sure that you have enough equity to borrow against and that you can recoup the cost of up front fees.
The other option is to use a personal loan. Personal loans are based on your credit score and income. Personal loans typically have lower interest rates than credit cards, but are usually higher than mortgages rates.
Instead of a loan, you can also use a debt consolidation service. These companies will negotiate lower interest rates with your creditors. There are no fees involved since these companies are usually non profit. They also provide credit counseling, offering financial advice and guidance.
Debt Consolidation Providers
Depending on what type of loan or program you choose, debt consolidation providers are relatively easy to find. If you are planning to use your home equity, then you will want to search for a mortgage lender. Many lenders offer free quotes online for easy comparison.
Personal loan lenders also can be found online. As with any financing company, you need to research rates and terms to find the best deal. Requesting a quote from a lender does not lock you into a loan. Legitimate lenders will be more than willing to provide this information to help you make a wise financial choice.
You can also get connected with debt consolidation services online. Some directory sites will help you find an agency in your area or you can work with a national agency.
Now that you've dealt with your finances, learn how to get that special girl:

The Romantic Man
Being a man and being labeled a romantic is not always desirable. Or is it? Just because you like pampering your lady doesn't mean that you are any less a man than any other man. You can spend your day finishing your basement, working on your car, just getting your hands dirty so to speak but at the end of that day there's nothing quite like the look of love and care on your significant others face when you cook an impromptu dinner for her. And the benefits of what happens after dinner, or even before you get dinner done, far outweigh any negative connotations being labeled a romantic have.
Being a romantic man is not that hard. In most cases it's the little things that women notice. A glance, a quick touch or brush across her back. Sure, flowers are nice, but haven't they almost become a cliché. That's not to say women don't like flowers because they do, but if that's all you've got then it will only go so far. You have to mix it up, change your style and use your imagination to create romantic moments for the woman you love.
And here's the most important thing to remember. If you truly know her and what her likes and dislikes are then it's easy. Think of something built around something she likes to do. Does she like shopping (not something men even like to think about much less do), fine dining, walks on a beach, watching movies and the list goes on. It's all about doing something she likes with her. And the fringe benefits of doing this are the only reward you will need.
Now here's a little hint. While it seems like you may be doing something you don't necessarily like to do that's not really true. Let's look at the shopping example. And when I say take her shopping it means shopping for her. Don't go to the local home remodeling center, you might find yourself sleeping in the dog house for a few nights. Remember, this is romance.
You take a day to go clothes shopping for her. This is about her, but it is also for you because the idea is to go to the more upscale type of shops. Why? Because you are looking for clothes that she looks good in, that she will ask your opinion on as she models it for you. Not only does she feel sexy but you can see that in how she moves and carries herself. And if by some chance you can guide her into a lingerie shop, well you just might be surprised when she lets you pick out something and she wears it that night at home, or if your really on your stuff, back at the hotel room (now there's an idea: a night away from home).
A romantic man is in a win-win situation. And the best thing is it can be allot of fun for both the man and the woman.

Okay, so you’ve been emailing each other for awhile, maybe you’re text messaging and perhaps you’ve talked on the phone. You feel a certain chemistry and you want to move on to the next step, the FIRST DATE. You can’t decide where to go or what to do. The possibilities for that first date are endless. I’d like to make a suggestion; skip the whole dinner and a movie thing. Try something different. Step out of your comfort zone; out of the box. Remember when you were little and it was okay to color outside of the lines? Try it. It can open up a whole new world. Forget about the standard dinner and movie. Dinner’s nice, but why spend two hours in a theater watching someone else when you can be doing something fun that will help you get to know one another?
Put on your thinking cap and get creative. If you’re not the creative type, ask for help from your family and friends. Not only will something different be fun, but you’ll stand out in the crowd. Your date will remember the fact that you gave some thought to where you were going and what you were going to do. Your first date can easily be a success. There will be plenty of time later on, if you continue to see each other, for dinner and a movie.
Personally, I like bowling. You might be laughing right now, or thinking "no way", but I can tell you that it can be a lot of laughs. Bowling is a gas, and it's a great idea for a first date! It’s also nice that you are surrounded by other people, making your date feel safe. In addition, the fun and laughter around you can be contagious. If neither of you have ever bowled, it can be a learning experience for both of you, and no one will be at an unfair advantage. If one of you has bowled before, it can be an opportunity to be a teacher. On the other hand, if both of you have bowled, you can just relax and enjoy yourself. Throw a little alcohol into the mix (for it is one sport that actually invites you to imbibe) and just have fun. You might each bring a friend, which will also alleviate some of that "first date" stress.
If you’re not into bowling, a picnic can be nice. Now, I understand that picnics usually have a romantic stigma attached to them, but you can change that. Rather than finding a nice little secluded spot in the middle of nowhere, plop yourself down in the middle of a populated park somewhere. Entertain yourselves by people watching. You can make an impression, if you put some thought into it. Think about the menu and the accoutrements. If you’re not so swift in the kitchen, ask someone who is. Try a local deli or gourmet store. Many of them will be only too happy to put the whole thing together for you. Pick a menu and accessories that will make a statement. Forget the styrofoam cups and potato chips. Up the ante a little bit. A bottle of wine or champagne is a nice touch, but don’t forget the corkscrew and the glasses. There’s nothing worse than finding yourself unprepared when you’re trying to make a good first impression. Make a list and check it twice. Remember something to sit on, and make sure it’s nice, clean and without holes or stains. Remember napkins; cloth is nice. Be sure to bring such things as salt and pepper, and ice cold bottled water is always good. Run through your plans with a fine toothed comb and get rid of any snags.
Where you are and the time of year can help dictate where you go and what you do. If the weather is nice you could take a nice long walk or hike, and stop somewhere along the way for something cold to drink. You could go to the beach, walk along the boardwalk and stop for lunch overlooking the ocean. Roller blading or bicycling is always an option, as is a trip to a local winery or a farmer’s market. If it is winter or the weather is chilly, your options might be a bit different. Instead of roller blading, you could try ice skating. If you’ve never skated and you go to a public skating rink, you can find comfort in the fact that you won’t be the only ones falling down. You will be surrounded by others doing the same. If there’s snow around, you could go somewhere nice for lunch where there is a wonderful view. The possibilities, like I said, are endless.
If you plan ahead of time, you can ask others for dating ideas. Your Aunt Mary of Uncle Bob might know just the spot. You can go to your local Chamber of Commerce or Visitors Center for information. Sometimes we have events in our own town that we know nothing about. When the weather is warm, many towns and cities have outdoor concerts or festivals of some kind. There might be someplace historical you’ve never been. Museums and art galleries are good too.
So, if you want to have a successful first date, give it some thought. Don’t be afraid of the unknown. Instead, embrace it. Enlist the help of family, friends and co-workers. Peruse your local Sunday paper or Weekly. Dare to be different. If the date ends up being a bust, at least you’ve tried something new or out of the ordinary. Good luck and happy dating!

Paris
Paris has all but exhausted the superlatives that can reasonably be applied to any city. Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower - at sunrise, at sunset , at night - have been described countless times, as have the Seine and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between the Left and Right Banks. But what writers have been unable to capture is the grandness and even the magic.
Paris probably has more familiar landmarks than any other city in the world. As a result first-time visitors often arrive in the French Capital with all sorts of expextations: of grand vistas, og intellectuals discussing weighty matters in cafes, or romance along the Seine, of naughty nightclub revues, of rude people who won't speak English. If you look hard enough, you can probably find those. But another approach is to set aside the preconceptions of Paris and to explore the city's avenues and backstreets as if the tip of the Eiffel Tower or the spire of Notre Dame wasn't about to pop inro view at any moment.
You'll soon discover (as so many others before you have) that Paris is enchanting almost everywhere, at any time.

Unusual First Dates - Step Out of the Box
Okay, so you’ve been emailing each other for awhile, maybe you’re text messaging and perhaps you’ve talked on the phone. You feel a certain chemistry and you want to move on to the next step, the FIRST DATE. You can’t decide where to go or what to do. The possibilities for that first date are endless. I’d like to make a suggestion; skip the whole dinner and a movie thing. Try something different. Step out of your comfort zone; out of the box. Remember when you were little and it was okay to color outside of the lines? Try it. It can open up a whole new world. Forget about the standard dinner and movie. Dinner’s nice, but why spend two hours in a theater watching someone else when you can be doing something fun that will help you get to know one another?
Put on your thinking cap and get creative. If you’re not the creative type, ask for help from your family and friends. Not only will something different be fun, but you’ll stand out in the crowd. Your date will remember the fact that you gave some thought to where you were going and what you were going to do. Your first date can easily be a success. There will be plenty of time later on, if you continue to see each other, for dinner and a movie.
Personally, I like bowling. You might be laughing right now, or thinking "no way", but I can tell you that it can be a lot of laughs. Bowling is a gas, and it's a great idea for a first date! It’s also nice that you are surrounded by other people, making your date feel safe. In addition, the fun and laughter around you can be contagious. If neither of you have ever bowled, it can be a learning experience for both of you, and no one will be at an unfair advantage. If one of you has bowled before, it can be an opportunity to be a teacher. On the other hand, if both of you have bowled, you can just relax and enjoy yourself. Throw a little alcohol into the mix (for it is one sport that actually invites you to imbibe) and just have fun. You might each bring a friend, which will also alleviate some of that "first date" stress.
If you’re not into bowling, a picnic can be nice. Now, I understand that picnics usually have a romantic stigma attached to them, but you can change that. Rather than finding a nice little secluded spot in the middle of nowhere, plop yourself down in the middle of a populated park somewhere. Entertain yourselves by people watching. You can make an impression, if you put some thought into it. Think about the menu and the accoutrements. If you’re not so swift in the kitchen, ask someone who is. Try a local deli or gourmet store. Many of them will be only too happy to put the whole thing together for you. Pick a menu and accessories that will make a statement. Forget the styrofoam cups and potato chips. Up the ante a little bit. A bottle of wine or champagne is a nice touch, but don’t forget the corkscrew and the glasses. There’s nothing worse than finding yourself unprepared when you’re trying to make a good first impression. Make a list and check it twice. Remember something to sit on, and make sure it’s nice, clean and without holes or stains. Remember napkins; cloth is nice. Be sure to bring such things as salt and pepper, and ice cold bottled water is always good. Run through your plans with a fine toothed comb and get rid of any snags.
Where you are and the time of year can help dictate where you go and what you do. If the weather is nice you could take a nice long walk or hike, and stop somewhere along the way for something cold to drink. You could go to the beach, walk along the boardwalk and stop for lunch overlooking the ocean. Roller blading or bicycling is always an option, as is a trip to a local winery or a farmer’s market. If it is winter or the weather is chilly, your options might be a bit different. Instead of roller blading, you could try ice skating. If you’ve never skated and you go to a public skating rink, you can find comfort in the fact that you won’t be the only ones falling down. You will be surrounded by others doing the same. If there’s snow around, you could go somewhere nice for lunch where there is a wonderful view. The possibilities, like I said, are endless.
If you plan ahead of time, you can ask others for dating ideas. Your Aunt Mary of Uncle Bob might know just the spot. You can go to your local Chamber of Commerce or Visitors Center for information. Sometimes we have events in our own town that we know nothing about. When the weather is warm, many towns and cities have outdoor concerts or festivals of some kind. There might be someplace historical you’ve never been. Museums and art galleries are good too.
So, if you want to have a successful first date, give it some thought. Don’t be afraid of the unknown. Instead, embrace it. Enlist the help of family, friends and co-workers. Peruse your local Sunday paper or Weekly. Dare to be different. If the date ends up being a bust, at least you’ve tried something new or out of the ordinary. Good luck and happy dating!

Mormon Quote out of context.
Ammon and the king Lamoni journey to Middoni--They meet Lamoni's father who is king over all the land--Hostile at first, he relents, and grants great favors.
Daoist quote of the day:
Our practice is one of effortless effort.
It seems as if we do nothing,
yet everything is done.
It seems as if we do nothing,
yet everything is done.
Why We Date
For most young career people, they find spending nearly 35% of their time at the workplace than at their respective homes. That accounts to almost 9 hours of work, work, and work.
For this reason, most of the people involved in this kind of situation find themselves out of place in the social world because they simply do not have time to meet other people anymore. In fact, they do not even have time for themselves.
That is why it is not such an appalling revelation when some surveys showed how 67.8% of the respondents, all working but in different companies, are into relationship with their colleagues. This goes to show that because of the time constraint that most professionals have and because of the lack of sociable time that they need, most of them divert to the aspect of getting a romantic partner in the office instead.
Most of those who are involved in this kind of relationship contend that their workplace seemed to be a natural breeding ground for romantic couples since they are together for more than 40 hours within the week.
Also, they asserted that creating a relationship in the office is inevitable because most of them get along with each other well based on the premise that they revolve around the same environment that initiates common interests, beliefs, and backgrounds.
However, because of some professional etiquette around the office, some companies despise the idea of having their employees being involved with each other. The bosses believe that romantic and intimate relationships may bring about negligence on their respective jobs.
Moreover, certain flaws are seen on this kind of relationship. There is a higher probability that the couple might have a conflict of concern with regards to their respective duties in the office and their duties and responsibilities with each other.
Therefore, for those who cannot help but fall in love while doing monthly inventories, here is a list of some workplace romance tips to keep you out of the brink of disaster:
1. Think first before deciding
Before deciding on this matter, it would be better to think first, probably a hundred…no make that a thousand times before deciding on it.
Try to contemplate on the possible consequences and benefits that you can get from the relationship. If the relationship will not work out, will you be ready to face the consequences?
2. Evaluate each prospect
Establishing a worthwhile relationship with your colleagues should primarily be based on its being worthy for a date.
It would be better if you will evaluate on the upshots of dating the person based on his or her position in the company, its value, and the possible corollaries of the separation, if ever.
For instance, if you want to ask your colleague on a date, try to contemplate first on the issue of rivalry between you and your officemate and the rough situation that both of you may be in after the breakup.
Also, try to look the possible angle of biasness for bosses dating their subordinates. The issue of “favoritism” may take place.
3. Be smart
Keep in mind that the reason why God placed our minds above our hearts is for the mind to rule above all. So if you are suddenly being snooped with some seniority in the office, do not be deceived yet. Try to test this person for some reliability quizzes and put him more on hot water.
The point here is that if ever he is trying to establish a good romantic relationship with you, it is better to be assured that his intentions are for real and just because he is looking for some diversion in the office.
4. Friendships as the best foundation
For a budding romantic relationship in the office, it is best to keep focused on creating friendships first. This is because some people believed that friendship, as the core foundation of any relationship, is better than just a break-from-work relationship.
Given all that, workplace romance can be really fun and dreamy. However, one or both of them should realize that office romances are not based on a contract that can expires when the time allotted has elapsed. It would be better to hear these kinds of relationships to last a lifetime, even if both of them have already retired from their jobs.

Why You Are Single And Lonely ?
Have you ever wondered why you are single and lonely - have you ever stopped to think that this should not be the case - have you ever cried yourself to sleep believing you are going to be left on the shelf. Well now it is time to stop wondering because your ideal partner is out there but how can they possibly meet their perfect match when you are sitting at home wondering.
What is it that is holding you back apart from yourself - is it the actual approach to ask for a date or is it fear of rejection that worries you?
These are two fear factors you have to overcome if you are to leave your world of loneliness. Why are you single and lonely - do you pine for companionship.
So what - if the opposite sex declines your invite for a date - you are not on your own. There are thousands of people single and lonely experiencing refusals and rejection but continues to carry on regardless till they strike lucky. The good thing about rejection is you have just found out that this particular person you liked is not who you will be settling down with - therefore not your ideal partner. Heartache is involved when dating the wrong partner.
Is it the actual face to face approach that causes you concern. Well stop concerning yourself over trivial matters because there are so many other options for you to liberate yourself from asking yourself why you are single and lonely.
Okay keep your distance if that`s the way you want it. If you think your ideal partner is across the other side of the room then be sure to send a warm smile over in their direction - if this is responded to with a smile back then fine. This is a great start because you have caught the attention from a confused person who is now a slight unsure as to whether the smile was meant for them. It is now that they may approach to ask about the smile - then you take it from there. (Not in all cases do they come over) Do the talking with your eyes - eye contact along with the facial expression saying I am interested in you can work wonders for most. Don`t be alarmed at some responses you may get by this glance approach because what you may have thought was good facial expression may have come across to the person on the other side of the room like that of a pervert in the corner.
Practice expression techniques at home in the mirror till you like what see - and if you want to go out with you - then why wouldn`t any one else.
If the thought of being single and lonely worries you then why not try the hand written message tactics. Remember with the right choice of words there maybe a glimpse of hope. Nothing too soppy and not I love me who do you love - this can kill any chance you may have had. If you show enough interest in a certain person in the right way you will get a reaction - not always the one you want but at least you know where you stand.
If only the lonely would choose to mingle - then single they will not be.

Pour en rire (in French)
Pour en rire
Trois individus
dont un américain, un britannique et un africain meurent
dans un accident et se retrouvent tous en Enfer.
Quelques temps après, l'américain désireux de savoir
si enfin, Ben Laden a été attrapé, sollicite la
possibilité de passer un coup
de fil vers l'Amérique.
Le diable accepte et aussitôt le coup de fil terminé, il lui facture les trois minutes à 3 millions de dollars.
L’américain sort
son carnet de chèques et s'acquitte de sa dette sans
souci.
Le britannique, à son tour sollicite la même faveur, afin
de s'enquérir de la santé de la Reine Elisabeth... .
Le diable accepte et
lui facture, aussitôt
la conversation achevée, les trois minutes à 4 millions
de livres sterling que notre cher ami britannique
s'empresse de
payer....
Ce fut, enfin le tour du pauvre africain.. Ce dernier
hésitant du fait de la faiblesse de ses moyens, se décide
quand même à demander
l'autorisation d'appeler en Afrique pour avoir des
nouvelles de son
continent.
Satan accepte et lÃ
commence une longue conversation
téléphonique au cours de laquelle notre cher ami apprend
qu'après la guerre
civile en Côte d'Ivoire, une transition interminable
se poursuit, au Congo les
rebelles continuent de semer la terreur dans le Nord Kivu
et ceux du Tchad et du
Soudan se sont armés de plus bel, que le sida continue de
progresser sur l'ensemble du
continent, que les togolais s'affrontent, que la famine
et les criquets sévissent au Burkina et au Mali, que la
grippe porcine est
arrivée au Bénin, que Madagascar a perdu sa stabilité
politique, que les
gens s'entredéchirent au Gabon pour la succession de
Bongo,
qu'au cameroun il
y a eu changement de la constitution et des
dépenses hasardeuses
de paul biya pour ses vacances, etc....La conversation s'achève enfin au bout de dix
heures....
l'africain osant à peine regarder le diable, lui
demande en bégayant, le prix
de la communication c'est combien? Le diable tout
serein
répond: Oh, pour les dix heures ça fait tout juste 150
FCFA.
Surpris, l'africain demande : Mais
co.....co... .....comment ça se fait ??
Le diable lui répond: Et bien mon cher africain, de
« l'Enfer à l'Enfer, c'est un appel
local. » Fait suivre le message pour que d'autres personnes partagent la bonne humeur qu'il a car rire au moins une fois dans la journée Ca fait du bien.

payer....
Ce fut, enfin le tour du pauvre africain.. Ce dernier
hésitant du fait de la faiblesse de ses moyens, se décide
quand même à demander
l'autorisation d'appeler en Afrique pour avoir des
nouvelles de son
continent.
Satan accepte et lÃ
commence une longue conversation
téléphonique au cours de laquelle notre cher ami apprend
qu'après la guerre
civile en Côte d'Ivoire, une transition interminable
se poursuit, au Congo les
rebelles continuent de semer la terreur dans le Nord Kivu
et ceux du Tchad et du
Soudan se sont armés de plus bel, que le sida continue de
progresser sur l'ensemble du
continent, que les togolais s'affrontent, que la famine
et les criquets sévissent au Burkina et au Mali, que la
grippe porcine est
arrivée au Bénin, que Madagascar a perdu sa stabilité
politique, que les
gens s'entredéchirent au Gabon pour la succession de
Bongo,
qu'au cameroun il
y a eu changement de la constitution et des
dépenses hasardeuses
de paul biya pour ses vacances, etc....La conversation s'achève enfin au bout de dix
heures....
l'africain osant à peine regarder le diable, lui
demande en bégayant, le prix
de la communication c'est combien? Le diable tout
serein
répond: Oh, pour les dix heures ça fait tout juste 150
FCFA.
Surpris, l'africain demande : Mais
co.....co... .....comment ça se fait ??
Le diable lui répond: Et bien mon cher africain, de
« l'Enfer à l'Enfer, c'est un appel

Notes on Casablanca:
Casablanca is the place of choice for all Westernized Moroccans. Tourists will get to know the modern Morocco with elegant restaurants, clubs and boutiques. The Portuguese built the first of their impressive settlements in El Jadida, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) further south on the Atlantic.

Times Have Changed: The Automobile, Social Values and Dating
Have you ever looked closely at historic images of cities, say from the 1930's? The social atmosphere is very different. The fronts of buildings were positioned close to the sidewalk, families lived close to the center of town with a place to sit outside to greet the passersby, and the traffic was chiefly pedestrian. As a result, dating has drastically been affected by modern changes in the past 50 years.
The pedestrian and social enemy, the automobile: Since the invention of the automobile, designers and builders had to make space for parking. Well, this was a challenge at best as each automobile requires around one hundred square feet. A person requires approximately four square feet of space. Vehicular lanes had to be accommodated, restricting space for pedestrians, and adding vehicular and pedestrian conflict. Moreover, the vehicle is now regarded as the most important component of our transportation infrastructure with regard to safety and efficiency. What does this do to our social space? After the engineers design a street, and the builders accommodate the parking at the front of the buildings, the once social space turns into dead, vehicular only, depressing places. Imagine walking next to the parking lot of a shopping mall, next to a six lane arterial highway. Not much chance that you will find another pedestrian with which to rub shoulders. Conversely, a historic place such as Boston, is packed with life, and very little suburbs. In suburbia, the place to find your next date, the Circle K convenience store.
Prior to the proliferation of the automobile, people met on the streets. Pedestrians filled the streets with life that we can easily imagine, and is demonstrated in most historic cities around the world. In the historic town of Ybor City in Tampa, an old Cuban cigar manufacturing city, the workers had little houses called "casitas" which exhibited high ceilings, raised floor for air convection, and a quaint and approachable front porch. Every Saturday, the family would walk to the center of town to meet the neighbors, rub shoulders with others, and do the weekly shopping. Vehicles were not necessary, neither were large houses. The outside public spaces served as an extension of the interior space of their homes. This experience is still shared in many towns in Europe.
How are we easily able to meet new people during these modern times of suburbs, proliferation of the automobile, and a new understanding of an internal world. Computers and cell phones have been the crutch for the absence of social places. It would be nice to revive the values we once had, on the safe pedestrian filled streets and plazas.

The Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary
Tacugama Founder Seeks to Raise Funds, Awareness in Europe
The Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which found itself in the center of the fierce civil war that ravaged Sierra Leone for more than a decade, will present its remarkable tale of rescue and rehabilitation to European audiences with a series of public events scheduled later this month in Barcelona and London.
Bala Amarasekaran (pictured at right), who founded Tacugama 14 years ago, will speak on Nov. 13 as part of a dinner event at the Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza (Placa d’Espanya 6-8) at 7 p.m. Tickets are 25 euros each.
That event will be preceded by the launch of a new children’s book by Catalan author Pilar Garriga, Un Estiu a Tacugama (A Summer in Tacugama), which will be held Nov. 11 at the Abacus Cooperativa - Sala Juli Vela (c/ Còrsega, 269) at 7 p.m. The novel follows the exploits of Garriga’s sister, Tacugama veterinarian Rosa Garriga, in a fictionalized plot based at the sanctuary.
On Nov. 21, Amarasekaran will speak at a fund-raising supper at the Royal Over-Seas League (St. James Street) in central London. The evening will include a hot buffet, music and entertainment. Tickets are 25 euros each and can be purchased through the International Primates Protection League (IPPL) – UK .
Amarasekaran’s European tour also includes an appearance at the Sierra Leone Investment and Donor Conference, which will take place in London on Nov. 18 and 19. Organized by the U.K. Government’s Department for International Development (DFID), the conference is designed to promote foreign awareness and interest in Sierra Leone.
For more information on the Tacugama events, please contact info@tacugama.com.
Tacugama was founded in 1995 in response to waves of orphaned chimpanzees that were the result of the bushmeat crisis, deforestation and human encroachment in West Africa. The sanctuary now cares for over 90 chimpanzees at its facility in the foothills above Freetown, and has thrived despite the crippling civil war that plagued Sierra Leone from 1991 until 2002.
Tacugama is a charter member of the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA), which was created in 2000 to unite the primate rescue and rehabilitation centers across Africa. For more information, please visit the PASA website or contact info@pasaprimates.org.

As human beings we have what can be considered some of the strangest mating rituals in the animal kingdom. Most species hook up with members of the opposite sex to procreate and nothing else. There is no emotional bond that ties them together for the rest of their lives other than the need to continue the species. Now that's not to say that all animals are like this, there are some species out there that do mate for life, but the overall percentage of those types are small.
Sure, you can say that many animals have mating rituals that rival ours. There are male birds that flaunt their colorful plumage trying to attract a female, but is that really dating or just a type of seduction? And in the end isn't that what going on dates is all about, seducing that someone we've had our eye on.
Dating is a form of seduction, only for us humans it can sometimes take a much longer time for the desired results to be had. In the animal world there is a specific time of the year when seduction and mating can take place, and with the exception of humans, dolphins and some primates, animals mate to continue their species and not for the pure pleasure of it. For most animals it is the drive to survive as a species.
We humans have taken the whole dating/seduction ritual to unforeseen heights. Just think of all the things we do to try and impress that special someone. And why do we want to impress them? Because we think we like them and if we don't do our best to seduce them using all sorts of dating tricks and techniques then someone else will and that's just not acceptable.
So why do we date?
To impress someone we are interested in? I would say yes on that one. I can't think of any other reason to spend that kind of time and money other then to do just that.
To continue the human species? This is a far more subjective question. Do we really need more humans on the world? That's debatable. I think for the majority of humans it's for a little more selfish reasons and that's to have someone come after us who carries the family name onward into the future.
Just for the fun of it? Now here's whole another way to look at it. Meeting new people is fun. Particularly if you are attracted to them. Dating is fun and it introduces us to whole new ways of thinking and approaching people.
The why do we date question is a hard one to answer, but whatever your reasons may be it's a part of what makes us human.

Mormon Quote out of context.
Page 139, Mosiah 3, Chapter 3
King Benjamin's address continued - Another prophecy of the Christ--
More concerning the atonement.
1. And again my brethren, I would call your attention, for I have somewhat more to speak unto you; for behold, I have things to tell you concerning that which is to come.
2. And the things which I shall tell you are made known unto me by an angel from God. And said unto me: Awake ; and I awoke, and behold he stood before me.

Why Flaky Women And Dating Seldom Works
Flaky women and dating do not mix. Although there are exceptions when a woman does have a valid excuse to flake out and a little leeway is appropriate. However this should not be the case all the time.
Dating flaky women can be quite disheartening for most men. Flaky women tend to string men along and at the last minute drop them. This is both frustrating and exasperating for any man.
However there are some men that do live on this type of rejection, especially if a man really loves the woman. In this case, no matter how flaky the woman may be does not seem to discourage the man. But a man that continues to accept this type of degrading treatment can only expect to receive the same treatment every time.
Keep in mind that flaky women may take advantage of this and may even do it on purpose. A man who displays weakness can easily be tricked into believing that a woman likes them. When in fact she is simply toying with his affection.
Things to Remember when Dating Flaky Women
Dating flaky women can be quite confusing. However, the main thing is to be levelheaded and to be composed once a woman starts flaking out. It does not help to go nuts simply because a woman cancels a date at the last minute.
There may in fact be a logical reason for the cancellation. Although this scenario does not happen quite often, it is still better than thinking of the actual truth. As calmly as possible let her know that it is perfectly okay for her to cancel the date. Just keep in mind that there are a lot of women out there who would be more than willing to go out on a date.
Possible Reasons for Women Flaking Out
There are a number of reasons why women flake out. Most of the time some women are not really interested in a guy and have a hard time saying it.
The woman is afraid to hurt the feelings of the man could be possible although not at all times. In most cases, it may be because she simply wants to be friends with a man. Although this happens mainly to women with the men they date, it can also happen to men with the women they ask out on a date.
A man that gets the telephone number of a woman in a bar should not wait longer than three days to call them. Keep in mind that some women have short-term memories and would probably not remember what transpired more than five days ago on their social calendar. At best if a woman forgets, it is best to remind her gently and simply make a joke out of it so as not to appear foolish.
Sometimes it is best to be honest and tell a woman when she is flaking out. Most women are not aware of the fact that they are flaking out unless their attention is called. Doing so can certainly bring to a halt the possibility of flaking out. However proceed with caution, as some women are more likely to take this the wrong way.
The key is to be assertive yet gentle so as to sound dignified. Most women appreciate a man who is tactful and one who knows how to express his thoughts without looking like a fool in public.
Lessons for Dating Flaky Women
A man should never show a woman how eager he is to date her. A man who is too eager to date a woman is a prime target for flaking out. Eagerness at this point is a sign of weakness that the woman may take advantage of. Keep in mind that some women have learned from men the art of stringing men along.
Men should take a hint once a woman has already flaked out several times on a date. In most cases it is simply a waste of time to wait for a woman who does not have the time and possibly the inclination to go on a date.
Bear in mind, there are other women in the world who would gladly show up for a planned date. It is not a case for the man’s self-respect to go downhill, as it is not his fault when a woman flakes out on a date.

A Disscussion of the South Korean Biases towards foreigners
http://blog.esldaily.org/2009/07/14/aids-in-korea.aspx
How To Succeed In Love And Relationship
So many men approach me saying something like "I am interested!" But the look on their face shows otherwise... They do not get clear about what they want or do not. Its important to know what you really can not tolerate in a partner. You should Make a list of your "don't wants" and then cut it down to the 5-10 most important. I don't have a positive outlook on a date if that person is always looking at the floor, not at you when talking and there seems to be no joy for them in life... What happens to humor and that little smile that will say a lot to me about who you are? Humor and a smile also shows me that joy won't be a problem if involved in a relationship with me.
I have come to learn that positive begets positive, and in a world that seams so negative, and morals paramount to a plan B, I choose the humorous and smiley guy any day of the week or month. I have learned that to look beyond the looks and to look at the big picture is so important. People change as life goes on you know. I have been married for 15 years and what I looked for was someone that was truly faithful and had a sense of humor. Someone who made me laugh. It has been a wonderful 15 years and I hope for many more to come.
Its good manners to look at a person when you are being spoken to, yet a lot of honest and loving persons prefer to avoid eye contact. It's good for a man and woman who are in love to look unto each other's eyes so that each can know the internal feelings of the other concerning the relationship and also each can make a correct judgment on what type of a person he/she is.
How about my friend who says she is in a relationship with someone who doesn't care about her and always putting her down, No matter what he does for this girl, nothing is ever good enough for her. And he tries so hard to please her. What is he doing so wrong to deserve all of this!! Sometimes it really hurts. Try something new. You know the best way to have things stay the same is to never do anything different. Vary your daily routine, just to keep yourself awake. Shake yourself up and notice what happens. Keep yourself open to chance opportunities, and then take advantage of them. One thing is for sure, there are people who will never get satisfied with what they have. you will hear them complaining about the size of their shoes as much as they complain about size of the coins in their pockets.
Its imperative to learn the art of showing a positive attitude toward life. This really draws attention both to yourself and your friends. I went out one day with a guy my age, and all the time i was enjoying my drink, this fool was trying to hit on the twenty one year old standing next to me. Of course if you love yourself you don't need anyone else to. For me, this was so obvious, i did not ask any questions. Do you know why i did not? Because this jerk did not have any answer. I hit him hard on the face and told him to forget.

Successful Dating Strategies - How to Date and how not to Date
If you are single, you will know how difficult it is to find advice about dating and being single. We'd all love to meet our perfect soulmate. So often so-called dating experts (who are usually married) astound us with obvious wisdom but I am sure you get the feeling their point of view isn't always too realistic. You know, being single can be a tough and lonely whatever your age, and every now and again it would be good to get some real inspiration from other single people.
If you are new to the dating scene, a regular or are just simply wanting to meet someone new there should always be time for top dating tips, advice, information and things to consider. The truth is there are no magic formulas or potions and no cunning ways of trapping Mr or Miss right. But there are some valid facts that you should take into consideration along the way.
1. Make sure you are really ready to enter the dating game. Have some idea about what it is you are hoping to achieve. Also be prepared for some disappointments along the way, however don't let this affect the bigger picture.
2. Get your image right, don't go over the top, you still want to look like yourself. Don't try too hard either, but remember people do appreciate other peoples appearances.
3. Think about your dating goals and timescales. Be honest to yourself, if you see yourself married in two years, then approach dating accordingly. If you are more laid back about dating, then be honest with those you may date.
4. Be confident. Do all those little things that will boost your confidence levels. Don't talk about adult matters or sex toys on your first date. The other person will respect you more in the long run if you dont bring up this 'touchy' issue.
5. Don't aim too low but do aim realistically. Be prepared and realistic about your chances. Dating is not just based on your personality but on the whole package you present to others.
6. Think about where you are going to meet new people. Join drama groups or a gymnasium, anything where you are likely to meet potential partners and the kind of people you are looking to meet.
7. If it's not going well, then don't be afraid to take time out from dating. Take stock and maybe re-evaluate. Keep your optimism high and try again.
8. Remember you're not going to necessarily meet your soulmate on your first date. So enjoy dating for what it is, meeting new people and even making new friends as you go.
9. Never make yourself too available. People still like the thrill of the chase when dating. The longer someone is made to chase you and fall for you, the more likely it is that love is going to blossom.
10. Most importantly, enjoy yourself. It will add a new dimension to your life. Dating will let you meet a variety of people who you wouldn't necessarily thought you'd get along with, or have anything in common with. Whether or not anything more develops from dating, think of it as another of those little life experiences.
