Delicious Ice Cream!
In the world of sweet indulgences, ice cream is in a class of its own. What is a birthday party without ice cream and cake, and who hasn’t had a soft vanilla cone on a hot summer’s day! Countless favorite desserts are built around ice cream, like banana splits and hot fudge sundaes. Ice cream comes in a tremendous variety of flavors. Chocolate, strawberry and vanilla are considered the three basic flavors, and they still rate within the top ten favorite ice cream flavors, according to a 2003 study. Vanilla tops the list with first place, as always! There’s pralines and cream, triple chocolate, caramel nut, and cheesecake, and literally hundreds more! It’s no wonder choosing an ice cream flavor is such a difficult decision!
Ice cream may be delicious, but it also has nutritional value. Calcium plays an important role in building and maintaining strong bones, along with other vital functions. As a dairy product, ice cream is easy to eat. A favorite with young and old alike, it’s a good contributor of calcium to the diet.
Ice cream has been with us for a very long time. Even a hundred years ago ice cream cones could be seen in abundance at carnivals. Hand cranked ice cream makers have been churning out home-made ice cream in backyards across the country for many years, and still are popular today. Ice cream makers are a little improved upon from the early days, but operate on the same principle. Whether home-made or from your favorite grocers’ freezer, ice cream is a timeless favorite.

The 5 most normal Marketing mistakes! And what to do with them!:
1. The most normal marketing mistake: Joining another marketer’s
paid “scam” or “to-high” priced service. What to do: If you are
going to join a paid program make sure it is legitimate and not
just a scam!(http://market-it.com is a very good example of a
non-scam because it offers 1000’s of $ in marketing value for a
very little sum!)
2. The second most normal marketing mistake: Buying a
“learn-how” or “learn-to” marketing ebook. What to do: Search
for the name of the ebook in google + free + download and almost
EVERY time you search for a ebook you will get at least 1 hit
that gives you the ebook for free.(Don’t do it on “you may not
give it away only sell it for at least () dollars” ebooks it’s
illegal to download them free then..)
3. The third most normal marketing mistake: Signing up for
free-to-join safelists like crazy because they are free to join
and they believe they are some kind of “magic” traffic driving
tool, but what they really do is exploding theyre list email
with junk emails and letting the safelist admins send you
marketing mails promoting resell stuff…What to do: Join as few
safelists as you can manage,(hopefully just themadvlad.com and
actualvisitors.com the only safelists I really reccomend)if
you’re email are getting bombarded with safelist emails: either
block the safelists emails or delete your email!(and get a new
one of course)
4. The fourth most normal marketing mistake: Joining
traffic-exchanges and ad-exchanges and autosurf programs and I
don’t know what other programs, believing the programs will just
send them the traffic without them doing anything, what to do:
start to surf a few traffic exchange programs reguarly (1 hour a
day reccomended) surfing 3-10 traffic exchanges at the same
time.(Pre-sign up for the “Traffic exchange “know how” ” ecourse
at http://marketing.cogia.net/t-e-knowhow.html if you want to
get it free!)
5. The fifth most normal marketing mistake: Joining mailing
list’s and ezines for free, while really they sign up for free
to get a bunch of marketing emails. What to do: Always look if
the site says “we respect your email privacy” or “we will not
sell, trade or give your email away” or something like that.
Always look if the site says: “No advertising” or “no marketing”
or “no ads or solo-ads” or such.(Unless you too get to post ads
for free of-course…)And always use a sec to think it through
“do I really need this?”. To read more quality marketing

By now you are well aware that increased activity burns calories and fat. Exercise is essential to your health and well being, but could you be taking part in too much of a good thing? The old adage, more is not always better, is a good rule to live by.
When it comes to fat loss, you need to be in tune with your body and learn how to listen to it. The idea behind fat loss is to manipulate the body often. As long as you are a step ahead of your body’s actions, you will be on top of the fat loss game.
What exactly does that mean? How do you stay a step ahead of your body? Let’s explore this concept a little further.
Megan is an e-client of mine. When she began her fat loss endeavor she started cardio six days a week for forty-five minutes and saw great results in a matter of weeks. Her new cardio program was exhilarating. It pumped her up mentally and physically and gave her a newfound energy she hadn’t felt in years.
It wasn’t long before she extended her forty-five minute ritual to an entire hour for six days a week. With the extended time, she saw even more results. She was delighted.
Eventually, the daily hour cardio chore was wearing on her. Her changes ceased, she was constantly fatigued, and began to hate cardio with an intense passion.
To combat the plateau, she added yet…more cardio on top of fatigue and hatred for exercise. Her grueling hour sessions turned into an hour and fifteen minutes to even longer, an hour and a half.
Nothing is more aggravating than putting all your time and effort into something that takes you no where.
Her fat loss results stalled dead in their tracks and even seemed to reverse. How could something once so productive now be destroying her weight loss efforts?
What may surprise you is that excess cardio can be counterproductive. Any cardio or weight training session lasting over a continuous hour does more harm than good.
Keep Cardio Productive
Cardio is heart healthy and it’s a great exercise, but if your goal with cardio is to burn fat, you need to take it with a stride and make it fat burning productive.
I come across many ladies who are quite active. This is all fine and dandy, but when they are active and top that with teaching spinning classes, kickboxing, high energy videos, and general cardio machines, this can be a recipe for disaster, setting your further back than when you started.
Don’t go overboard with cardio. Keep it simple, yet effective.
Cardio Intensity
Cardio intensity is a factor to keep fat burning beneficial. This does not mean to do an all out killer cardio routine that leaves you crawling from the gym in a near death status, but to simply shake things up a bit to force the body to respond.
A good way to master cardio is with HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). There are many variations of HIIT and my favorite is the 2/2 ratio.
Example of 2/2 Ratio HIIT
Minutes 1-2 - Warm up
Minutes 3-4 - Low intensity
Minutes 5-6 - High intensity
Minutes 7-8 - Low intensity
Minutes 9-10 - High Intensity
Minutes 11-12 - Low intensity
Minutes 13-14 - High intensity
Minutes 15-16 - Low intensity
Minutes 17-18 - High Intensity
Minutes 19-20 - Low intensity
Minutes 21-22 - Cool down
With HIIT, your body never falls in a rut because you are constantly changing the intensity to prevent cardio adaptation.
Progressive Cardio
Another successful cardio tactic to use is Progressive Cardio. Your body can adapt to anything in a short amount of time and Progressive Cardio can stop adaptation before it occurs. Progressive Cardio is simply increasing your cardio each week by either the numbers of day or the amount of time to invite change and prevent staleness, provided you don’t overdo it.
Example of Progressive Cardio
Week 1 - 4 times a week for 20 minutes
Week 2 - 4 times a week for 25 minutes
Week 3 - 5 times a week for 25 minutes
Week 4 - 5 times a week for 30 minutes
You will notice how each week is a step advanced from the previous. This is how you make cardio work in your favor to burn fat.
Adopt Weight Training
Have you even seen someone in the gym doing endless hours of cardio and still look soft and unfit? That is because she is lacking lean muscle, which is built from weight training and excessive cardio burns muscle.
Weight training builds lean muscle mass. The more muscle you add to your frame, the less you need to rely on cardio. Muscle is metabolically active and allows you to burn more calories at rest and at play. Of course, this does not mean to kick cardio to the curve, but having a balance of both in your program will keep things interesting and will give much better body transformation results.
Summary
Once you understand how you can manipulate cardio, you will be able to master the fat burning game. Realize that you don’t need three or four different cardio methods stacked on top of one another. Just use cardio wisely and you will have the advantage. Remember, cardio is a fat loss tool, not the determining factor.

To Michael Schumacher this 2006 season must be one of his
toughest challenges yet. For a multi world champion and arguably
the best driver the world, coming 3rd last year must have been
devastating. The truth is, had it not been Michael driving that
Ferrari, even third in the championship would have been a dream.
He has already hinted that he may retire at the end of his
Ferrari contract at the end of this season, so this year really
is a make his mind up year. With this in mind Michael will only
have one goal in mind, to win the championship. Ferrari had a
massive leaning curve last season, when they did not take the
new regulations seriously enough and probably had the wrong
manufacture of tyres. However the rules have changed again and
there will be an open playing field come the first race of the
season. The team is fired up, Ross Brawn the technical director
is fired up and you can bet Michael will want to end his F1
career in glory. Personally I think only winning he championship
will keep him in a F1 car! A benefit to Michael and Ferrari this
coming season is the reintroduction of changing tyres during a
race. It was argued that Bridgestone tyres last year just didn’t
like the endurance type races. The truth is no one really knows,
but this year will certainly give us an idea. Michael is well
known for his involvement in the technical side, aiding his team
to make better technical decisions. He is also known for his
driving in the wet, often being able to stay out longer on dry
or intermediate tyres or just judge things better. He can bring
this all back next year, when the visits to pit during races are
for more than just fuel. The truth is I tend to support the
underdog in motor racing, so I don’t tend to shout Michael on.
But it has to be said he is one of the greatest F1 drivers ever,
if not the greatest. We might not see it now when we compare,
Senna, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart etc. But I think in many
years time when Michael has retired, we will look back and see
him as the genius from Germany.
