			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(this is meant as a joke &#8211; don&#8217;t take this seriously)</p>
<p>Top 10 Ways to get Drunk for Five Dollars or Less</p>
<p><strong>Number 10. Be a frosh (freshman).<br />
</strong><br />
It&#8217;s not true that every frosh can be knocked into unconsciousness by waving a tom Collins under their nose, but as those of us who go hunting for frosh on &#8220;New Kids night&#8221; at the local dance holes know, the phenomena is not rare. Frosh are usually young, inexperienced, and sometimes even illegal to entice into your boudoir. If anyone can get drunk on five bucks, it&#8217;s them.</p>
<p><strong>Number 9. Be female.</strong></p>
<p>Chivalry is not dead! While you ladies can&#8217;t expect guys to risk their life, or miss an episode of star trek for you, you may still be able to get some alcohol out of them. Try standing around the bar, sipping water with a grimace on your face. Dress smutty. Smile at guys as they walk by, the drunker geekier the better. If you want to get more than one drink out of a guy start talking about how hot it is. Act intoxicated. Become even more friendly. At an appropriate time have a friend come by and &#8220;save you&#8221;, then move on to the next guy.</p>
<p><strong>Number 8. Try Medication.</strong></p>
<p>Sleeping pills. Allergy pills. If it says &#8220;do not take alcohol with this drug&#8221; or &#8220;do not operate a motorized vehicle while under the influence of this drug&#8221;, it must be good! Intelligent students such as ourselves, while not having a shred of pharmaceutical knowledge, can see that these statements are a plot by alcohol producers to keep us buying large quantities of booze.</p>
<p><strong>Number 7. If it ends in &#8216;ol, drink it!</strong></p>
<p>Alcohol isn&#8217;t the only intoxicant ending in &#8216;ol&#8217;. Methanol, Butanol and Propanol are all fine safe intoxicants, often available at bargain prices. Stay away from aerosol, cholesterol, and drool.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.stuckiniowa.com/img/uploads/everclear.jpg" alt="Everclear Alcohol" /></p>
<p><strong>Number 6. Sleep Deprivation and Sickness.</strong></p>
<p>For some reason, your body doesn&#8217;t want you to have any fun, and actively fights alcohol -enhancement. When you&#8217;re sick, and tired, your body&#8217;s defenses are at their lowest. This means its often one of the most cost effective times to get plastered! Best of all, if you puke, you can blame it on the flu.</p>
<p><strong>Number 5. Try Antifreeze</strong></p>
<p>Hey, ten thousand deranged alcoholic street people can&#8217;t be wrong!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.stuckiniowa.com/img/uploads/drinkantifreeze.jpg" alt="Drink Antifreeze" /></p>
<p><span id="more-203"></span><strong>Number 4. Smash and Grab.</strong></p>
<p>Drunk on less than five bucks? Try drunk for free! If you&#8217;re smart enough to figure out your news reader, chances are you&#8217;re smart enough to plan a little robbery. But don&#8217;t forget to take the time to <a href="http://www.howtohacks.com/2011/03/how-to-pour-the-perfect-beer/">pour the perfect beer</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Number 3. Scavenge.</strong></p>
<p>Go to any bar and you&#8217;ll usually see alcohol that people just don&#8217;t want. Most often these finds will be at empty tables, with chairs with jackets on them that people also don&#8217;t want. Grab the booze, and the jackets, and leave. Do so stealthily though. You wouldn&#8217;t believe how many losers will pretend that they really wanted their cast offs. Finders keepers!</p>
<p><strong>Number 2. Hang around with Losers or Generous People (same thing)</strong></p>
<p>Some people are crazed enough to buy alcohol for other people, and expect nothing in return. Well, they might expect after they buy you a round that you&#8217;ll do the same, but you never signed any contract. Generous people usually stop buying alcohol when they realize what a cheap bastard you are, but losers will usually keep on doing it. They&#8217;ll be so overwhelmed by the fact that you&#8217;re actually talking to them, they won&#8217;t worry about little details, like that they&#8217;re spending their tuition money to get you pissed.</p>
<p><strong>And now &#8230;(drum-roll)&#8230; The Number 1 Way to get Drunk&#8230; for Five Dollars or Less: &#8230; Make <a href="http://thoughtsonbeer.com/">Beer Fast!</a></strong></p>
<p>Finger the originator of this article, an address will be given. Mail one beer to this address. Using saturation posting techniques, repost this article to enough newsgroups for about a million people to see it. Within a few weeks you&#8217;ll have received a million beers. In another few weeks the postal system will collapse&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; address coming soon&#8230;</p>

<p>I installed ICQ 7 the other (ICQ 7.2) and it took over my PC a little. It installed a toolbar for FireFox and Internet Explorer and also set itself as the default search engine. To remove it I went into my control panel, clicked on Programs and Features, removed the ICQ Toolbar. But ICQ was still the default search when I typed something in the address bar (instead of the search bar). So I searched and searched and found the solution <a href="http://chat.icq.com/forums/index.php?act=view_topic&amp;group_id=528&amp;topic_id=137863&amp;forum_page=7">here</a>.</p>
<p><em><strong>To remove ICQ toolbar from FireFox </strong></em></p>
<ol>
<li>go to Tools-&gt;Addons and find the ICQ Toolbar and uninstall it.</li>
</ol>
<p><em><strong>To change the FireFox search back to normal:<br />
</strong></em></p>
<ol>
<li>Open a new tab</li>
<li>Type about:config in the address bar</li>
<li>Type keyword.URL to find the entry</li>
<li>Change that entry to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;q= to return to the normal google search. (keyword.URL currently shows http://search.icq.com/search/afe_results.php?ch_id=afex&amp;tb_ver=2.0.0.4&amp;q=)</li>
</ol>
<p>You can change the default search URL to anything you want instead of Google. Here&#8217;s more info about the FireFox <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL">keyword.URL</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smoking is hazardous to health. We all know it. However, there are many people who start smoking even after knowing that it is not good for health. It is very easy to start smoking. Anybody from a chain smoker to one who smokes occasionally or just a few cigarettes every day will tell you this. When it comes to quitting smoking, one has to be extra careful and work upon the will power.</p>
<p>Smoking is so widespread and common that some people find it hard to believe that there are actually treatment centers for those who want to give up this vice, just like there are centers for <a href="http://www.thegooddrugsguide.com/treatment-centers/rehab-centers.htm">alcohol rehabilitation</a> for alcoholics.</p>
<p>A person can stop smoking for some days. However, the urge of having a fag is so strong that it is very difficult stay away from it. Here, you tend to get back to square one even after you decide to quit smoking.</p>
<p>Hypnosis is a process that has made a great impact on smoking. Most people who have tried it, agree that hypnosis can help quitting smoking.</p>
<p><code>When quitting smoking, one faces mood swings, lethargy and intense craving that are hard to resist. Hence, when you want to quit smoking, you need to take help of a hypnotherapist. A hypnotherapist will help you come out of the blues you experience when quitting smoking.</code></p>
<p>If you are a chain smoker or smoke occasionally, you can take help of a hypnotherapist to quite smoking. Here, you are able to get into a state of dream where you get a feeling of relaxation from head to toe. When undergoing a hypnotherapy, a person easily responds to suggestions. A hypnotherapy uses several positive suggest that may help a patient to curb his cravings for cigaretters. The reason is that on tends to get relaxed after hypnosis and feels less stress. When you tend to be free of stress, you don&#8217;t crave for cigarettes.</p>
<p>There are many people who don&#8217;t agree that hypnosis can help quit smoking. They think that during the period of the treatment, the patient is easily able to control his urge to smoke however, the moment the treatment is over, the urge to smoke arises again. However, this has not affected the popularity of hypnotherapy as a solution to quit smoking. You would find many hypnotherapists practicing hypnotherapy for quitting smoking. Iowa and Indiana have maximum number of hypnotherapy clinics.</p>
<p>The most important thing to take care of is that your will power to stay away from the cigarettes need to be combined with hypnotherapy. In short, hypnosis for quitting smoking will only help you if you want to quit smoking.</p>
<p>Hypnosis is not a new concept. It is a state of mind where you tend to take suggestions and advice easily. You are ready to respond to whatever treatment is give to you.</p>
<p>Many people have claimed that hypnosis has worked for them. Hypnotists use several methods to help their clients quit smoking. One of the most popular methods is where they may tell a person to relate smoking cigarettes with an extremely bad smell. They also associate the thoughts of smoking with a positive anti smoking message.</p>
<p>If you want an instant fix to your problem, hypnosis may not help but the therapy can help you cultivate a strong desire to succeed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Women have a lot of things going on these days. They often work, care for the family, and have to juggle so many things into their busy schedule. That&#8217;s where you can be her knight in shining armor! Here are some ways how you can pamper your special lady and relieve some of her stress.</p>
<p><strong>Spoil her for an evening</strong></p>
<p>Surprise her with a dinner at home. Send your kids and nanny at the grandparent&#8217;s house and have plans for the evening. Prepare a dinner for two in your house, cook her favorite foods and buy her favorite wine. Give also a small gift, a cheap one but can make her smile. Spend the night with a light music. Take her to a sweet dance while your favorite song is being played. But if you really don&#8217;t know how to cook, well&#8230; you can take her out to her favorite restaurant.</p>
<p>Before going to sleep, make sure that you give her a bubble bath. Put some scented relaxing candles lit on the bathroom. Let her soak in the water, you can join her if you want to. If not, prepare the bedroom and make sure that it is clean and dim lighted. Light some aromatic candles to make it more romantic. Massage her with scented aromatherapy oil while the soft music is going. I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll give you a reward for the effort.</p>
<p><strong>Give her charge of the remote once in awhile</strong></p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s not a romantic thing again, but it sure feels good for a woman to have the privilege of holding that remote control and having the say in what you watch together. When a man surrenders the remote, it&#8217;s a true sign of humility and respect. She may be so touched by your gesture that she will actually turn to Basketball Channel.<span id="more-468"></span></p>
<p><strong>Share the chores</strong></p>
<p>Not only romantic things fall on the category of pampering. You can also help her to lighten up her daily load by helping her on her chores like, doing the laundry, washing the dishes, walking the dogs, watering the plants, <a href="http://www.howtohacks.com/2011/02/how-to-do-frugal-college-cooking/">cooking food</a>, bringing the kids to school. Sometimes men would say that those are woman&#8217;s job but marriage is partnership and sharing. You will not do all the chores, just help her doing it.</p>
<p><strong>And finally, the most important thing is to ask her what she wants!</strong></p>
<p>Men always assume that they really know their partner. But at the end, she was just waiting for you to ask what she really wants. There&#8217;s nothing so comforting to woman than being listened t by her partner, but men don&#8217;t&#8217; have patience in listening. In order to have a good relationship, it is important to have a good communication. Learning to listen with you partner will make her feel very important and respected. And if there&#8217;s importance and respect, there&#8217;s love.</p>
<p>Also, <em>keep a journal </em>of what you&#8217;ve done and what she likes. This way you can refer to it in the future when you decide to do some pampering on short notice and can&#8217;t think of any ideas.</p>

<p>Put the toiletries and all the items in the bathroom in their respective places o they are not scattered all over the bathroom. Close all the cabinets and take out the empty bottles out of the bathroom, especially those that does not belong on the bathroom. Put all the dirty clothes and towels on the hamper. Put on your rubber gloves.</p>
<p>Next, <span id="more-460"></span>you should start on your toilet. Put on bleach or toilet bowl cleaning solution. Be careful for some of bleach can cause suffocation and strong odors. Let the solution stays for 20-30 minutes. Wait for the bleach to sit it.</p>
<p>Sweep the floor. Bathrooms accumulate a great deal of hair and other detritus. Use a rubber bristle broom to get the dirt between tiles.Wipe all the hair on the tub using a paper towel. Wipe a cleaning solution on the tub and on your shower walls. Wash the mildew on the anti-slip tub. Soak it on a hot water and add some bleach. Scrub the bathtub as well. Don&#8217;t forget the shower curtain; it is also prone to mildew. You can soak it on hot water and spray it on a part where there mildew. If it is washable, wash it on a washing machine. Once the washing is done, rinse the tub and the shower with hot water. Hot water dries faster.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time to start cleaning the sink and counter area. You may use whichever cleaning product you used on the tub, but use it sparingly as it is harder to rinse the soap off a counter. Scrub all the soap scum and tooth paste off, rinsing your sponge thoroughly as you go along. A toothbrush or cotton swabs can be handy for getting the junk out from between the tap and handles. Never use the same rag or paper towel you used in cleaning the toilet. This can spread leftover disease-causing germs to your sink and counter area.</p>
<p>Then return to the toilet, scrub all the dirt with a toilet brush, getting the solution-infused bowl water under the rim. Spray the rim and lid of the bowl with the same cleanser you used on your tub and sink. Wipe or use disinfectant towelettes, much easier for getting all the nooks and crannies of the seat and lid. If you are concerned about germs on the outside of the bow just spray a bit of your bleach-water solution on to the surface and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping. Always wear gloves when cleaning your toilet &amp; only use those gloves for cleaning the bathroom. Don&#8217;t use the same that you use in the kitchen. It can cause cross contamination &amp; could make you &amp; your family very ill. It is also a good idea to use paper towels when wiping the exterior of the toilet so you can dispose of them after use.</p>
<p>Wash the walls, molding, and windows if necessary. If these are made of wood, hot, soapy water from a bucket should be used. If they are tiled, you can use the same cleaning product you used on your tub and sink. If you want a germ free cabinets and drawers use a hot soapy bleach water. Clean the ceiling. The aforementioned bleach-water solution in a spray bottle can be used to eliminate mildew spots on the ceiling as well.</p>
<p>Use a glass cleaner when cleaning the windows and mirror with paper towels. Don&#8217;t use soap, bleach and sponge on glass. It will not shine.<br />
18. Mop the floor with a hot soapy bleach water. And mop it again and remove the slippery soap. Get out of the bathroom and clean the mop. Dispose the sponge that you use. Wash your hands and change your clothes to avoid contamination.</p>
<p>And there you have it! You&#8217;ve successfully battled a dirty job and won!</p>

<p>Are you ready for your job interview? Did you know that tying your necktie is one of the important factors in applying for a job? If so, are you sure you tie it correctly? Check this out.</p>
<p>There are four ways to tie your tie; we have Four in hand knot, Bow tie knot, Windsor knot and half Windsor knot. But the most common used tie is the Windsor knot.</p>
<p>Let’s learn how to tie a tie:</p>
<ol>
<li>Place you neck tie under your 	collar. Make the right end of the color higher (the narrow one) at 	least 12 inches from the left (the wider side)</li>
<li>Then, cross the left side going to 	the right.</li>
<li>Then insert the wide part (left 	side) going up in the middle between the collar and the tie.</li>
<li>Bring the wide one down in front. 	Then loop the wide one going to the right until the wide side 	reaches the front.</li>
<li>From the front, pull the wide side 	again and loop it.</li>
<li> Then 	bring the wide side down going to the knot in front.</li>
<li> Make 	the wide side down and do a knot.</li>
<li> Then 	lastly, you have to tighten the tie using your both hands going up 	to your collar.</li>
</ol>
