Learning Niche Blitzkreig

I'm learning how to use adsense and take advantage of affiliate options.  It is really cool.  I have also learned a couple things about web design.
1. People have associated red sans serif lettering with scam sites so avoid that as your title...blue family is much better
2. If you are going to use foreign words, know what they mean.

Whereas Michael S. Brown knows what he's talking about, he discredits himself when he says blitzkreig means "lightning fast."  It actually means lightning war and is usually in reference to the initial attack on the Jews in WWII.  You learn that in high school. 

It's a principle that I've been learning in my copy writing class.  That is illustrated in this example.  It shows how careful I'm going to have to be in my field.

boys vs. girls: in love

(Information discovered through many conversations with individuals of both genders.)

Boys will find attributes they like, and be interested in a plethora of girls with those attributes, until they invest more interest in one particular person, as she shows interest back.

Girls will seek one guy. they start to have feelings for a particular individual and no one else compares, until and unless they discover he is not what she though he was.  Or someone else PROVES that they are better.

Dating is like shopping. (I know it sounds terrible but it is true) When you shop you want the most/best for your money.

When you are dating, all you have to "buy" other's love is yourself, but you still want the best boy/girl you can get with that "sum." You won't date below what you think is your value, but people try to date above their value.

How does this work?  You hope they see something in you that you do not see in yourself, then they think that you are above their "value" and everyone is happy!

Just thought this was interesting.

Health Issues

So long story short, I have to cut down on sugar and gluten.  I need to increase water intake, and eat a ton more vegetables. 

Lately I've been trying to come up with new recipes for vegetables, preferably gluten free.  I have found pinterest.com to be an awesome source.

This week I've made stuffed zucchini and cauliflower chicken (both of which are on my gluten free recipe site)

No pictures because my camera went missing.

Thunderstorms have boomed out several times this week in Rexburg, Idaho.  On Monday our Family Home Evening (FHE) group was doing out door activities in the nice and sunny weather that so little visits the usually chilled and snowy climate, when seemingly out of nowhere rain started falling from the sky.  Lightning flashed over and over, averaging about 20 miles away.  Thunder rolled loud and clear, ripping through the sky and causing a significant stir among the college students.  For our little group however, it did little to deter the game of Frisbee we had started.  We continued playing late into the evening until the wind made it completely impossible to throw with any accuracy.  A few minutes later however all was calm.  Such is the bi-polar weather of Rexburg.

Who Knew!

So I have recently made some new friends.  These people like to play sports and run around.  They are rediculously fun people but I do not have the stamina for that... so I decided!  I want to play more...i'm going to have to get in shape!  So I've changed my eating habits. I'm making sure I get as many nutrients into the calories I am eating... I'm adding bananas to my cereal, I switched to 1% milk.  I ate a salad yesterday (it was delicious) and I drank WATER!  

Oddly the whole water thing is kind of a big deal for me.... I do not like water.  It's not just the taste... It's like my mouth and throat reject it.  I think it's a genetic thing because everyone in my family is like that.  Each gulp of water is a struggle.  Add to that that most water does not taste good... (we do have pretty good tasting water though) But I forced myself to drink it!!!

I have never before practiced this much restraint when it comes to eating... I am so excited!!!

New Verified Users for CELEBRITIES

Based off an article on the CNN web site it is clear that Facebook intends to clear up the misunderstanding of having a thousand "justin beibers" and "demi levatos."  similar to twitter they are adding a "verified" user possibility for people who have a lot of subscribers.  I think this is a good idea.  I dislike seeing posts from convincing fakes, it makes me feel swindled.

See the full article here.

Another benefit to the celebrity is their ability to publish posts under pseudo names.  Such as Madonna, she can now post things with just her first name.

So in my developing world class, my teacher gave each student one dollar and gave us the assignment that by the end of the semester we need to find some way to help our country with that one dollar.  The math behind this idea is rather sound.  If you give each student one dollar and they are able to multiply that dollar in effect by putting it to the best use possible then you would have done far more good than if you had kept the dollar.  You would have also educated them along the way as to the needs of that country.

In Indonesia they are having some huge difficulties.  Especially with natural disasters and poverty in general.  If  the word got out...and people started using a dollar...not even just donating it (you could use it to gain an education, become a doctor and go serve there or you could use it to invest in struggling businesses.) Whatever you do, the only requirement is the betterment of that country.

I'm using mine as "cyber money" where I post online about the idea and encourage all my readers to do the same, and perhaps all it takes is an idea.

A dollar is not a huge investment for most people, however, it could mean the world to someone who makes less than a dollar a day.  To someone who is starving that dollar could be the difference between life and death.

So think about it...where are your dollars going? and where could one of those dollars be best served on a global scale?
