			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Auto navigation systems or sat nav systems, as they are commonly referred to, are in nearly every new car or truck that is purchased these days. But what about older cars and trucks?</p>
<p>Older cars and trucks can also take advantage of these new auto navigation systems because of the different installation choices open to drivers. An auto navigation system does not have to be fitted by the manufacturer of your automobile.</p>
<p>In fact, there are many third party installers of auto navigation systems: there are &#8216;specialist technicians, garages will do it or you can do it yourself. True, you may run into difficulties if you want to cut a hole in the instrument panel of your car or truck and you may be unwilling to remove your CD player in order to install one, but there are also loads of models that can be attached by other quite simple techniques.</p>
<p>Moreover, if you do not only travel by car, there are other alternatives that you may prefer, such as the portable options so that you can take your sat nav in your craft on the water with you or on a bicycling or walking holiday.</p>
<p>These portable devices range in quality, but they still work well and are becoming better all the time. Satellite navigation by laptop or PDA is another option that offers good quality mobile information.</p>
<p>The major problem with conventional paper road maps is that they are out of date before you get them. Some of them are years and years out of date as they may have lain on a bookshop shelf for a very long time.</p>
<p>In contrast, GPS or GPRS satellite navigation systems normally provide information that is up to the minute on important information like traffic jams or floods and up to the hour on lesser problems.</p>
<p>This up to date intelligence is being keyed into the database twenty-four-seven by thousands of intelligence providers world-wide and then sold on to the people that manufactured your sat nav system.</p>
<p>You automatically buy a license to access that data when you buy your sat nav system. However, you may have to renew your license every year.</p>
<p>When it comes to choosing one of the auto navigation systems, remember to check the service and licensing details. Another point to keep in mind is the cost of the auto navigation system and its installation cost. Having sat nav installed by the manufacturer of your vehicle is the easiest alternative, but it is by far the most expensive one too.</p>
<p>You probably pay between double and treble for this method of installation, but if you are purchasing your vehicle on finance, well, you will be paying interest on that for five to ten years as well and that will mean that you will pay nearer to ten times what it would cost to have sat nav fitted by a third party.</p>
<p>It is definitely worth bearing in mind when you go to purchase a new car and see one of those impressive auto navigation systems pre-installed.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Tennis psychology is nothing more than understanding the make-up of your opponent's mind and assessing the effect of your own strategy on his/her mental viewpoint and also understanding the psychological effects resulting from the various external causes on your own mind.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tennis psychology is the same as understanding the workings of your opponent&#8217;s mind and gauging the effect of your own strategy on his/her head and also understanding the psychological effects resulting from the various external causes on your own mind.</p>
<p>However, it is also true that you no one can be a successful psychologist of others without first understanding his own psychology. Therefore, you must study the effect on yourself of the same thing occurring under various circumstances. This is because people react differently in different moods and under different conditions.</p>
<p>You have to realize the effect on your game of the ensuing annoyance, joy, bewilderment, or whatever other form your reaction takes. Does it improve your efficiency? If so, try for it, but never give it to your opponent. Does it rob you of concentration? If so, either remove the reason, but if that isn&#8217;t possible, strive to ignore it.</p>
<p>Once you have correctly judged your own reaction to circumstances, observe your opponents in order to determine their characters. Similar temperaments react similarly, and you may judge men of your own type by yourself. Other characters you must seek to liken with people whose reactions you already know.</p>
<p>A person who can control his/her own mental processes stands an excellent chance of reading those of someone else for the minds works along definite lines of thought and can be studied. One can only control one&#8217;s own mental processes after studying them very carefully .</p>
<p>A steady, phlegmatic baseline player is rarely a quick thinker. If he was he would not adhere to the baseline. The physical appearance of a player is usually a fairly clear indication of his/her sort of mind. The stolid, easy-going player, who usually advocates the baseline game, does so because he hates to stir up his/her slow mind to work out a safe method of getting to the net.</p>
<p>However, then there is the other type of baseline player, who would prefer to stay on the rear of the court while supervising an attack intending to break up your game. He is a much more dangerous player and a deep, quick thinking opponent. He gets his/her results by mixing up his/her length and direction and worrying you with the variance of his/her game. This player is a very good psychologist.</p>
<p>The first type of tennis player mentioned above simply strikes the ball without much thought about what he is actually doing, while the latter always has a solid, thought-out strategy and adheres to it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There can not be many people who do not like food, but the human race, being what it is, I suppose there are a few. For the rest of us, food is a source of daily pleasure and, like drink, it is often used to mark a celebration. not only that, but different foodstuffs are used for the different meals or distinct occasions.</p>
<p>Celebratory meals were indubitably planned around the seasonal foods available, but some foods were transported great distances for the benefit of those who could pay for them. For example, my Dad thought it was a great treat to get an orange in his stocking on Christmas Day 60 years ago. How times have altered, very few children would think an orange a gift, special or otherwise, any day of the year nowadays.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the storage of food is still a daily job and so, I have listed a few top tips on storing food below, so that you will get the best from what you have bought or grown long afterward.</p>
<p><u>The Smells Of Summer:</u> the smell of fresh garden herbs are one of the joys of Summer. You can preserve many of these herbs in the following way. Take a suitably sized glass bottle and cram your favourite herb into it until you can get not get even one more leaf in. Then fill it to the top with your favourite oil olive oil (salad oil, not cooking oil). Leave it in the strong sunlight for two days if you are using basil or two weeks for tarragon. Allow the water to separate from the oil and pour the oil off into another bottle. Just one or two drops of this oil on a salad or spaghetti will bring back Summer memoirs.</p>
<p><u>Bin Ends:</u> sometimes, after a party for example, you may wake up to several small quantities of wine in different bottles. Of course, you can pour like wines into each other. When you are done, pour a teaspoon of olive oil into each bottle. This will create an air proof barrier over the wine thereby preserving the wine for another week or two to accompany your favourite dinners &#8211; in the cooking process naturally.</p>
<p><u>Storing Garlic:</u> cloves of peeled garlic will keep for months if you pack them into a screw-topped jar and cover them with olive oil. As you use the garlic, top up with more olive oil. The oil will take up some of the flavour of the garlic and make a fabulous (basis for a) salad dressing. If you have used tinned garlic, the rest can be preserved in the same way, but you should rinse and dry them first.</p>
<p><u>Saving Tomato Paste:</u> if you suspect that you will not be able to use up the left over half a tin or tube of tomato paste quickly, you can put it into the ice cube tray and freeze it into blocks until you are ready to use it.</p>
<p><u>Parsley Crumble:</u> keep bunches of parsley in the deep freeze. Then, when you need it, you can just crumple the head of the bunch in your hand immediately over the pot or plate where you require it and put it back in the freezer. The stalks can be used in the stock pot. in fact, this method works for all herbs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was seven-ish and I was sitting in a nice-enough room overlooking the front doorway to the pub above which I had just moved in. The pub was the Pig and Whistle on Soi 7 in Pattaya. Across the lane was a big hole, which they were hoping to construct a hotel in and next door to that, right opposite me, was a small bar with one woman sitting on a stool outside it. Not that there was a wall there, it was open on two sides. The Soi was lovely and quiet, I thought. I also thought that I might go and sit in that little bar and talk to that woman, if my friend was late, because I would definitely see him arrive from two metres away, the width of the Soi.</p>
<p>So, I went to the bar in the pub at 19:15 to await my friend who said he would meet me at 20:00. It was much busier than thirty minutes earlier but not noisy and I sat at the bar. The first thing a barmaid did was say hello, give me a menu and step back. I did not really want to eat, I only wanted a beer as I assumed we would be dining together later, but I wanted to read the menu anyway.</p>
<p>&#8216;A pint of Boddington&#8217;s', I said. It arrived and the girl started laying a place for me. I tried to say that I was not hungry, but it was no good. Like in Spain, most people eat and drink at the same time. All the while the girl was smiling at me. Then she said: &#8216;You live upstairs? My name Charli. What you want to eat?&#8217;. So, I gave in and ordered something and rice.</p>
<p>&#8216;You first time in Thailand? You no can eat. Too spicy&#8217;, she said with a grin. &#8216;Oh&#8217;, I replied, &#8216;but I want to try. &#8216;I put only 50-50 for you&#8217;, she declared and went.</p>
<p>I struggled through that meal and it took a Boddingtons and a bottle of water. Charli had been accurate, it was too hot for first-time foreign visitors and she had reduced the chilis by 50%. I have always heeded a Thai&#8217;s advice on food ever since.</p>
<p>I changed seat to by the window to see what was happening as it was dark by 19:30 and I was curious. Within thirty minutes Soi 7 had changed totally. I could see hundreds of girls and tourists milling about. I wanted to go out and join in or at least sit in the quiet bar across the lane, but I&#8217;m embarrassed to say that I was too frightened, so I sat put, rivetted to the Pig like a rabbit in a hunter&#8217;s flashlight.</p>
<p>My friend walked in on time and after we had been talking for an hour, he said: &#8216;Drink up, I have someone I want you to meet&#8217;. This was it, we were going into that mele. A waitress opened the door for us and the racket and the heat were tremendous. Particularly the din. Every metre at least two or three girls would shout: &#8216;Hello, sexy man, you want a drink&#8217;. Trying to say no courteously to each invitation was out of the question, so I just stuck close to my pal.</p>
<p>Luckily, we only had about fifty metres to stroll and we sat down in another bar. My friend said hello to several ladies and then said, this a girl I have been going out with for some time. I was astounded as I had never heard him talk about her, ever. She was gorgeous, but could not speak English, so I sat in the din in silence. Not for long through, as my friend said, I have a blind date for you and he introduced another girl to me who was equally beautiful, but with whom I could speak a little. She was captivating and I was captivated. The pandemonium seemed to pass away, but it was only because I was concentrating on my new friend. The four of us had the best time and the best food I had ever had in my forty-nine years of existence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ancient cultures in every region have used animal images as means of representing intangible concepts like strength and courage. Animal fetishes have stood as markers of clan or tribe since the dawn of human kind. More recently, these shamanistic totems have been revisioned. In modern times, corporate mascots and entertainment mascots have penetrated to every corner of society. Do these modern totems function in the same way as the ancient ones did?</p>
<p>In traditional cultural practices, the totem is a ritual device that functions by association. Because the crocodile is powerful, its totem is powerful, and those who claim the crocodile totem have that power too. The oldest totemic figures tended to come from animals that natives would encounter in their natural splendor. The power and grace of the natural world is captured in the totem.</p>
<p>As human culture has transformed, so too has our use of totemic figures. The use of mascots as a university symbol to drag out at sporting events, for example, is a relatively new trend in the human scale of things. College athletic leagues first took on the use of mascots in the early 19th century.</p>
<p>Since becoming a university symbol, the mascot has taken on other characteristics unique to modern culture. Particularly the ironic tone in some mascots is interesting. For example, Sluggo the banana slug mascot for the University of California at Santa Cruz does not immediately strike fear into the hearts of his opponents. By choosing the banana slug, the university works against our expectations while also emphasizing the complex biodiversity of the campus region.</p>
<p>To some degree, these icons and totems share a similar function, but there are important details that separate them as well. How are a logo, a totem, a mascot, and an icon different? You can distinguish them by their engagement with things like corporatism or ritualism. Mickey Mouse means different things to children and to the corporate world. The bat means something different to Bruce Wayne than it does to DC comics.</p>
<p>Businesses of course have very special relationships with their mascots. Business logos like the Exxon tiger are meant to remind us of the good and positive things that the corporate product can do for us. The tiger assures us that our car will run the best. Logos are a tool to divert our attention toward these positive things and away from a corporation&#8217;s sometime shady past. The tiger doesn&#8217;t tell us anything about oil spills or the suppression of governments.</p>
<p>Being aware of this discrepancy, knowing the difference between how a logo represents a group and what really constitutes the group, and being able to articulate this discrepancy are the basic components of media literacy. Because the media has saturated our lives, we must be sure that all of our children are trained in these skills. They cannot be contributing citizens without being able to think critically.</p>
<p>I have a totem that I often turn to for inspiration and courage. Like all of the <a href="http://www.loonietimes.com">corporate mascot</a> and <a href="http://www.loonietimes.com">Entertainment mascots</a>, I think my bear totem is a sign of strength and power.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Silk Bridal Bouquets are classic. If we try and search traditions, we will only find reasons and logic to assist them. Unfortunately, these days most traditions have lost their roots and are generally used simply to give a minor taste of traditions to the entire event. Whether it is east or perhaps the west, our sculptures and historical past provide us a lot of proof to support and explain the existence of most things. One such thing that has walked into present day to time immemorial will be the specialty of silk bridal bouquets.</p>
<p>Today, bridal bouquet is becoming merely a minute tradition which most brides follow so that they could manage to include a part of elegance to their whole wedding. Besides that, some like to include more contrast and elegance for their wedding gown by carrying a bridal bouquet. The whole logic of carrying a bridal bouquet has been lost and ironically when a bride displays a bridal bouquet, I meet none who can tell the real reason for the practice. Consequentially fed up with being amidst blissfully uninformed people, I chose to write an article regarding silk bridal bouquets, to ensure that we all come to recognize the reason as to why a bride has a bridal bouquet in her hand while walking down the aisle.</p>
<p>In its most preliminary stage, as this tradition was started, the brides would once carry garlic and herbs along with her. This was performed to chase off any evil spirit coming from her. It was thought that the bride looks most incredible on her wedding day and spices and herbs were positioned together with her to defend against all the bad spirits and ghosts. Minor modulations in this are found in numerous customs. For instance, in Celtic practices, the bride as well as the groom once wore garlands made of edible flowers. This was carried out since the fragrant flowers served as strong aphrodisiacs.</p>
<p>Since this tradition developed with time, a few people started to think that taking something from the bride would provide them good luck. Thus, this began the custom of getting the bouquet from the bride. It was somewhat lethal. So, the people came up with the entire concept of a bridal bouquet. It was decided that the bride can carry a bridal bouquet that will be thrown at the end of the wedding ceremony and whoever gets it, would be considered lucky.</p>
<p>Thus the complete custom of bridal bouquet which we know these days had been started to save the bride from robbing and plundering. Hope you would now remember.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Silk Bridal Bouquets are great selections. It is rather unfortunate that some of us as a result of allergies or some other infections are prohibited from having natural flowers in a bridal bouquet. Most people enjoy the scent of a fresh flower but unfortunately, not everyone gets to bring them. If you&#8217;re amongst those individuals, that have allergic reactions against flowers and are worried about your wedding bouquet, keep reading. In this post, we will try to inform you of the various means of making artificial flowers that will seem as gorgeous as the organic ones in a bridal bouquet.</p>
<p>The best options are a silk flower. These blooms do certainly look best in red. However, if you do not need to choose a very flashy color, other colors are also available. One can go for pastel tones. The great part is nearly any colored silk flower looks beautiful. The ideal choice is always to tie them up with a different dull shaded organza bow. This can draw out the appeal of silk flowers even more sharply.</p>
<p>One more good choice, usually the best one for individuals with meager wedding finances is paper flowers. Everyone understands that organic blossoms cost a lot. What also add to the costs would be the services that one needs to get along, to help keep them fresh. So, if you suffer from allergies or a budget problem, paper flowers will be the best option for you. You may also make them yourself. There are certain types of paper flowers which are quite simple to make. When you can manage some extra time, have a shot at learning the difficult paper flowers. They seem beautiful but are different from almost all options.</p>
<p>When using any kind of artificial flowers for the silk bridal bouquet, it is important to keep in mind that it does not let the bouquet to look dull. Put something extra to them to make them seem desirable. For example, if you work with paper flowers, you may include small crystals to them. Some crystals are very much reasonable and they make the flower appear as natural ones with dew. Similarly, along with silk flowers, one can use starfishes, pearls, bows etc. When you are using organic flowers, one should not include anything to it to have an additional look but when using an artificial thing, one must be extra wary of not letting anything get crowded with many things.</p>
<p>So, if you are planning to use synthetic flowers, my prior and most crucial recommendation to you would be to arrange them at the very least a week ahead of your wedding, so that if you find any flaws with them, you get enough time to fix it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oak is one of the best woods to use for patio garden furniture. It is local to most Western countries and, being a hardwood, can endure the weather, if treated correctly. It is very hard-wearing and, so long as you maintain it, it will give you pleasure and comfort on your garden patio for decades to come.</p>
<p>Oak is certainly not inexpensive, but if you consider that it will last for ten to twenty years, whereas plastic and metal may last two to four years, it does not work out a bad deal over the long term and during that period, you will have been sitting on garden furniture that is the bee&#8217;s knees in every way.</p>
<p>Just a point of interest here that will give you more range when you are buying your hardwood garden furniture, oak and cherry wood share many of the same characteristics as far as garden patio furniture is concerned.</p>
<p>The patterns of whorls and rings in the timber is truly beautiful, so in order to maintain the stocks of these trees, please make sure that your patio furniture comes from a sustainable source.</p>
<p>Make sure you follow the maker&#8217;s recommendations as far as preservation is concerned. This will prolong the life of your hardwood furniture, making sure that you will get extra life &#8211; up to twice as much &#8211; life out of your hardwood garden furniture.</p>
<p>The maker or craftsman will probably deliver your furniture primed and stained and maybe varnished too. If you get raw timber furniture, the maker is probably leaving your options open. The least you should do is rub an oil into it.</p>
<p>Ask at your decorators&#8217; merchants or timber merchants which is the best. You could also stain it and varnish it. Ask to see examples before you go ahead, but it has to be done at least once a year anyway, so you can change strategy when it wears off.</p>
<p>This category of furniture will be seen often at commercial venues, because it is so hard wearing and long lasting, if properly looked after. You should let commercial sense guide you and follow suit, if you can afford it. If you cannot afford a full suite of hardwood garden patio furniture all in one go, why not buy one or two pieces of furniture a year?</p>
<p>Once you have your furniture in situ, you can start thinking about accessories. The most common accessories are lighting, power points, mosquito zappers, sun shades and patio heaters. You will perceive that restaurants and pubs with a patio will use patio heaters when the weather gets cooler.They have to do this, otherwise customers would peter out.</p>
<p>You can learn from this for your back garden. Get yourself a patio heater so that you can get pleasure from your garden patio in comfort every month of the year. Add a few extra plants and a few nocturnal blossoming plants. Put in a small pond with a fountain and some fish. Complete the whole picture with a few spotlights pointing at your favourite features and hang up a mosquito trap. This way you will get the most out of your oak or cherry wood garden patio furniture.</p>
