There’s good news for those who want to incorporate more whole grains into their diet. Thanks to innovative menu planning and a growing number of products, it’s getting easier for consumers to include whole grains on a regular basis.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) food pyramid recommends that adults consume at least three servings of whole grains per day. That’s the same as three ounce equivalents. But according to a recent survey by the Whole Grains Council and Knorr®-Lipton® Sides™ Made with Whole Grains, 68 percent of adults are unaware that they should consume at least three daily servings of whole grains.
USDA research has indicated that the majority of whole grain servings are consumed at breakfast, followed by snacks. Whole grain intake drops at lunch and dinner as each of these meals account for only 15 percent of daily whole grain consumption.
Fortunately, with a little creativity, it’s possible to find a number of ways to add whole grains to a family’s diet. Here are 10 quick tips:
• Buy quick-cooking whole grain pasta or rice side dishes for dinner.
• Make risottos and pilafs with whole grains such as barley, brown rice, bulgur, millet, quinoa or sorghum.
• Enjoy whole grain salads like tabbouleh.
• Try whole grain breads. Kids especially like whole grain pita bread.
• Add half a cup of cooked wheat or rye berries, wild rice, brown rice, sorghum or barley to your favorite canned or home-made soup.
• Substitute half the white flour with whole-wheat flour in your regular recipes for cookies, muffins, quick breads and pancakes.
• Add half a cup of cooked bulgur, wild rice or barley to bread stuffing.
• Use whole corn meal for corn cakes, corn breads and corn muffins.
• Look for cereals made with grains such as kamut, kasha (buckwheat) or grano.
• Snack on multigrain chips and crackers or air-popped popcorn.

Most people spend a great deal of time planning their guest list or deciding on food and decorations but do not devote a great deal of time to planning activities for their New Years Eve party. They may plan on having a live band or a DJ to perform but otherwise they may simply expect the guests to entertain themselves by dancing to the music or socializing with other guests but do little else in terms of planning activities to keep their guests entertained at the party. However, there are a lot of fun activities which can keep the guests entertained throughout the evening.
Planning on having karaoke is one excellent activity for a New Years Eve party. This activity encourages guest participation and allows the guests to entertain themselves throughout the evening. In fact karaoke can even provide a very cost effective form of entertainment for all the guests even those who opt not to participate. Karaoke will provide the guests with music and singing at a much lower price than it would cost to hire a live band or a DJ for the event. The music may not be as high quality as it would be if you hired a professional but of course that is also part of the fun of karaoke.
Hosting a murder mystery event is another fun activity idea which is becoming very popular for New Years Eve parties. These events are typically a dinner theater where guests are encouraged to participate in the drama and work together or alone to try to solve the mystery of the evening. You can either hire a troop of actors to perform the murder mystery and allow the guests to interact with the actors to try to solve the mystery or you can assign guests to portray different characters including the victim, the murderer and the other guests. The guests should keep their identities a secret to keep everyone else guessing.
The food can also be a source of entertainment for the guests at a New Years Eve party. You can serve items such as fondue which require the guests to participate in the preparation of the food. Another idea for an activity is to design a party where the preparation of the food is a part of the party. For example you could hire a sushi chef to come to the party and teach the guests how to make sushi. The guests can all make their own sushi rolls and the sushi prepared by the guests can be served as appetizers during the party.
Activities as simple as viewing movies can even be fun activities for a New Years Eve party. If your party has a particular theme, you can select a series of movies which reflect the theme of the party to keep your guests entertained throughout the movie. You might even serve foods which are typically found at a movie theater to tie the theme of the event to the food.
If the New Years Eve party will include children it is important to spend some time planning activities for the kids. You might want to include some kid friendly activities as well as activities which are suitable for children and adults. If there will be adults in attendance there should also be activities just for the adults as well to ensure everyone has a good time.

Contemplating a visit to Orlando, Florida for your family vacation this year is a fine idea. Lots of hotels, resorts, villas, or other places to stay in, and there is no shortage of places to go to as well. Tourism is definitely a big business in Orlando, and there are a lot of choices where to go to once you’re actually there.
Enter the vacation store
The Orlando vacation store is an online service that ranks hotels and other Orlando establishments on how well they perform according to their perceived performance. The Orlando Vacation store is also a travel company, and they also have packages for vacations for you, whether you’re traveling as a group, as a family, with your special someone, or traveling alone.
What’s in it for tourists?
Vacations are packaged according to the hotels that the guests would like to stay in. One can be pretty sure that if a particular hotel has been recommended by the vacation store, it represents a very good deal for the consumer. Once you find a specific hotel package that you’re interested in, then you can browse around that hotel’s own website to check out what they have to offer to visitors. Accommodations should be considered, and whether you want to take your breakfast at the hotel, or outside. This is because different hotels have different policies, though most offer buffet breakfasts for a hearty meal to start you day with.
Going places
The Orlando vacation store has included among its packages tickets to most popular destinations for every member of your party. Popular tourist attractions such as Seaworld or Disney are on the list of destinations, of course. And you can select which ones you want to go to when you choose your vacation packages. Once you fly there, you won’t have to worry about the tickets or having to go on a specific date, because these tickets do not have expiries, you can use them anytime during your vacation.
This is an especially good thing, allowing for flexible vacation plans and time to make course adjustments can be made as necessary. For specifics on parks, they also have their own sites which you can browse so that you can check to see if you like what they have to offer. All the major theme parks are represented here, so you don’t have to worry about wanting to go to a specific destination and not finding a package that includes where you want to go. There are also transportation services for going to and from theme parks in the Orlando area, so you can relax knowing that you won’t get lost while on vacation.
Pricing and payment
Since the Orlando vacation store is a wholesaler for the various hotels, you can expect rates to be on par with, or even better than the competition, in terms of pricing and package features. The hotel wholesale price packages are also combined with discounts from theme parks so that you really expect a good deal for yourself when you shop for your vacation there.
When time comes to pay, they also accept most major credit cards, so no worries. But there may be some exceptions though, so check their site. With the perfect vacation available to be shopped online, your Orlando vacation is easier than ever.

How many years have you started spring cleaning only to be discouraged by the sheer amount of stuff or distracted by the beautiful weather? Would you like to complete spring cleaning this year, before summer? Then it is time to tackle those big, deep organizing projects such as the basement, garage, and maybe some closets, drawers, or cabinets. Whether you start with the basement or garage, begin in one corner and work your way around the room. Let go of the items you honestly will never use again by asking yourself those tough questions: when did I last use this? when do I think I will use it again? do I like this? If you catch yourself answering maybe to most of these questions, you might want to organize with a friend, family member, or professional organizer who will keep you focused and help you decide “yes” or “no”. Once your remove everything that does not belong (donate, trash, goes elsewhere), you may have all the storage space you need. If not, take measurements of your space and the items you want to store, and go shopping (maybe even in other rooms of your house). If it is difficult to figure out which organizing product works best in your situation, ask the person at the store, do some research on the web, consult a professional organizer, or use another knowledgeable resource. Now, what about those closets, drawers, and cabinets? Once you sort and purge what does not belong, you will probably be amazed at how much space you have. If you need some tips on how to best organize what remains, flip through a magazine, sketch a diagram of the space, enlist a professional organizer, etc. . No matter what you decide to organize, ask for help, make it fun, reward yourself, and maintain the organization. If you do not know where to start, do yourself a favor and schedule a free consultation. In the long run you will save time and money and be more relaxed. Sometimes you need another perspective, someone to keep you focused, or a little bit of expertise.

There are a variety of organizations that run networking groups across the country. The largest group is probably BNI, which offers members the chance to attend weekly meetings and develop new professional relationships to help them grow their business. some chambers of commerce are now organizing “leads groups” for their members as well. These groups are intended to offer members a way to connect with each other and potentially refer each other business.
In most “leads groups” each group allows no more then one representative from any industry, so if the group has a mortgage broker other mortgage brokers have to join another group or wait for the seat to open up. The idea is that by restricting membership, you eliminate competition within the group.
The agenda at most structured networking meetings is pretty straightforward. Each member is given an opportunity to introduce themselves, then there is a short presentation by one or two members (each member gets the chance eventually). The meeting ends with members discussing potential referrals for each other. This means that most of the members get about one minute to present who they are and teach the other members of the group how to refer to them.
Most people do a great job of presenting themselves. However, most people do not think to ask for referrals. At most networking events, you are not expected to ask for a referral or explain what a good referral for you is. However, at a leads group it is not only acceptable, it is expected!
I am involved in a number of networking groups and have used the simple outline below to create my elevator pitch (quick introduction). When I deliver my elevator pitch to a leads group, my goal is to educate everyone in the room about my company and what I do, as well as to teach them the best way to refer others to me. In addition, I want to make sure I actually ask for a specific referral. I will go through each piece of the outline in detail, but here are the basics.
* Introduction
o Name
o Position + company name
o Location of the company
o Overview of services
* Tell a story
* Call to action
The introduction piece of your presentation should stay the same every time you give it. You might say something like, “My name is Joe Smith. I am mortgage broker at ABC mortgages in Anytown, USA. We offer a full line of residential and commercial mortgage products.” You can add some additional detail, but you should really focus on keeping this short and on point.
At each meeting, you will have the chance to differentiate yourself from the competition by telling a short story during your presentation. The story can be related to a specific challenge you helped a client overcome, a unique feature of your product or service, or you can simply talk about a new development at your company. Consider writing out your stories in advance so you know what you are going to say at each meeting. In addition, you can schedule the content so that the other members of your group learn more and more about you at each meeting. You need to focus on educating your group a little more each week.
The “call to action” is very important and the piece that most people overlook. You need to tell the other members of your group exactly what type of referral you are looking for. For example, our mortgage broker, Joe Smith, might say, “Today a good referral for me would be a Realtor at XYZ real estate company.” Joe may also say, “Today a good referral for me would be anyone who purchased their home more then 10 years ago.”
I alway recommend that your “call to action” is as specific as possible. If Joe stands up and says that a good referral would be anyone who needs a mortgage, the rest of the group will have a harder time thinking of people to refer. If Joe asks for an introduction to a specific person at a specific company, someone in the group may know that person or know someone at that company who can facilitate Joe’s introduction. The more specific the request, the more likely it is to trigger someone else in the group’s memory.
A last minute hint:
Keep focused on the networks of the people in the group, not on the people themselves. In other words, when you are participating in a networking or leads group, you should not focus on gaining the business of the people at the table. Instead, you should focus on gaining their trust so that they will refer you people in their network.

When you sit in an office chair for a long period
of time, you run the risk of causing low back pain
or even causing more damage to an already existing
back or neck problem. The reason for this is because
sitting in a static position will increase pain
in the neck, back, shoulders, arms, and even more
so, add pressure to the back and spinal discs.
When you sit in an office chair for a long period of
time, most people tend to slouch over or down in the
chair, stretching the spinal ligaments and straining
the discs in the spinal column. Sitting in these
positions over time can further damage the spinal
structures and cause you major problems in your lower
back.
If you sit at your desk for long periods of time, an
ergonomic chair is something you must have. These
chairs can help you maximize support for your back
and help you maintain the proper posture while you
sit in the chair. Simply owning the chair is not
enough, as its crucial to adjust the chair to the
proportions of your individual body structure.
No matter how comfortable you may be in your office
chair, prolonged static posture isn’t good for your
back and also happens to be a contributo to muscle
strain and back problems. Every half hour, you
should get out of your chair to walk, stand, or
even stretch for a few minutes. Even walking to
the bathroom or to get something to drink is great
for your body.
Walking for several minutes will help you even more,
as it gets your blood circulating. Although many
office chairs are designed to reduce back pain,
moving around throughout the day when you can is
always the best thing you can do for your back.
Even though many people have standard office chairs,
there are many different other styles available for
you to purchase. Traditional or standard office
chairs may be great for the money, although they
won’t help you that much when it comes to preventing
back pain.
The more expensive chairs or those with ergonomic
benefits are your best purchase. They will help your
body while you sit at your desk, even help those
with current back problems. If you have to sit at
your desk for long periods of time, make sure you
choose your office chair wisely. You’ll be sitting
in your chair while you work, therefore you want it
to be both comfortable and safe.

Personal loans are a great way to generate the revenue you need for a variety of needs. Such loans can be secured by banks, loan companies, private investors, and online lenders. It is important that you are aware of personal loan scams and how to avoid them. This type of scam was ranked #5 in the United States for the year 2000. On average, each person scammed lost $464. As a result, the Federal government has been working hard to educate the public about such scams.
The advanced fee personal loan scam is the most common method of taking your money and running. Most victims of such a scam never report it to the authorities because they are embarrassed that they feel for such a ruse. Victims also feel angry. They obviously needed money or they wouldn’t have applied for a loan in the first place. They now have less money than they did to begin with. Those who do report the scam are often frustrated because the perpetrators are very seldom caught and brought to justice. It is very important that you do report any such instant of advanced fee personal loan scam. If you don’t, you are further enabling the predator to do it to others.
Advanced fee personal loan scams work on those who are desperate for a loan, over trusting, uneducated, and who have bad credit. More than half of advanced fee personal loan victims are under the age of 30. The lender tells the applicant that they guarantee they can work with their situation, but that there is a loan processing fee involved. This can be a fee hundred dollars or more. With the technology available now, it is not uncommon for the operators of these scams to have websites and even 800 numbers for you to call. They will send you letters that look so official, you won’t give them a second thought.
The stories of those victimized by such advanced fee personal loan scams will break your heart. One woman had been laid off and was about to be evicted. She found another job and applied for a personal loan to get caught up on the rent. She paid the lender almost her entire first paycheck for so called processing fees on this loan they guaranteed she was eligible for. She was understandably upset when she was evicted as well as found out the lender had taken off with her hard earned money.
To protect yourself from falling victim to advanced personal fee loan scams, be careful who you attempt to borrow from. Make sure they are a reputable company. If they are an online business, check them with the Better Business Bureau. Make sure you enter there business name exactly as they list it. A well known practice of this scam is to use a name very similar to an actual reputable lending institution that applicants may be familiar with the name of.
For those of you with bad credit or no credit, don’t believe something that sounds too good to be true, it likely is as the saying goes. You may have to pay a higher interest rate if you have bad credit or no credit, but you should never have to pay any fees up front to apply for a loan or to have it processed. Some personal loan scams will call the fees you pay the first month payment or a high risk deposit. Applicants need to be aware that no such things exist. As a matter of fact, any lender must allow you to have access to the funds for minimum of seven days before they can collect a first payment. You can check the legitimacy of any fees charged by a financial institution with the Federal Trade Commission. If you are facing financial difficulties, look for advice from a reputable non-profit credit counseling service rather than a lender.
