I love cookies and anything biscuit. But th3 only cookis that i know how to bake are baking powder biscuits i tried them once just out of curiosity and they came out so well I was even shocked. But the one thing that i have always wanted to know how to bake are fluffy cookies. I don’t know how to bake them and I am all over trying to get the best ingredients and the methods of how to do them. Am not a particular fun of oats but I think the recipe can work without the oats. Thanks for sharing. I think at this rate I may end up being good at my baking because of your awesome tips thanks.

Archie’s comics talks of Betty and Veronica where Betty a poor girl has a perfect figure doing household chores while Veronica the rich girl struggles at Gyms and envies Betty 😀

This is very informative. I do a lot of household Chores but I capture back all the lost calories when I sit down with my cup of mid morning tea and eat a slice of brownie or cake:)

Exercise is a must for everyone though most of us don’t like to do them or even take the time to try. At least I try to do most of the exrcises that you have mentioned above. The one I did not know works to burn calories is chopping vegetables. Even though I tend to do a lot of cooking and chopping I didn’t know am doing myself some good. Brisk walking is my favorite because I do this like literally everyday for like 45 minutes though I feel tired after walking am hapo that some calories have been shed off which is a good thing.

When you exercise, you use muscle. This helps build muscle mass, and muscle tissue burns more calories — even when you’re at rest — than body fat. According to Wharton, 10 pounds of muscle would burn 50 calories in a day spent at rest, while 10 pounds of fat would burn 20 calories.

“Studies have shown that with increases in exercise time, the elevation in resting metabolic rate is prolonged,”

For those reluctant to do their household chores, the knowledge you might burn a significant amount of calories might just be the motivation you need.

Boredom is more often than not associated with cleaning and DIY, however the vigorous exercise that goes into it is often forgotten. A jog or spin class is not the only way to burn calories and lose weight, after all.

The home improvement service Plentific rounded up how many calories you burn each hour from doing the following chores based on an adult’s weight of 150lbs (10.7 stone).

Cleaning

For light cleaning jobs like dusting or hanging up clothes, you can burn 171 calories in an hour. So if you add in some more strenuous cleaning methods like hovering, you can burn even more. The amount of calories burned cleaning are therefore equivalent to almost four jaffa cakes.

Sweeping

Brushing away the dust on the kitchen floor or leaves outside on the patio for one hour can result in 269 calories being burned, meaning just 30 minutes of sweeping will burn 135 calories – almost as much as a can of coke.

Moving furniture

While re-organising the furniture in your home is often an arduous task, the benefits, in addition to rejuvenating the feng shui, are evident by burning 408 calories. Therefore, one hour of furniture moving is similar to playing 50 minutes of tennis.

Gardening

While the weather might be too cold to venturing out into the garden just yet, when spring arrives putting on your gloves and getting your fingers green can burn you 339 calories. Similarly, pushing around a lawn mower for an hour burns 376 calories – more than two bottles of Stella Artois.

Painting a room

If a New Year’s resolution was to freshen up the home with some redecorating, you’ll be pleased to know it burns 306 calories. If this is a longer job, which it very often is, and takes four hours that is 1200 calories burned on painting walls- the same as two Big Macs.

I like the one that encourages reading. 🙂

Stealing is a bad thing and if not stopped early could lead to very bad behaviour later it becomes a habit. When stealing becomes a habit it’s very dangerous because at this point a child could do anything or take anything in order to fulfil his needs. Regardless of what they know about stealing nothing would stop them. So I feel a child should be taught at 4am early age that stealing is bad and that there are consequences that follow that way he or she will be well informed and wouldn’t steal anyone’s thing.

This is what we call kleptomania. Stealing the items belonging to others is a bad habit. The children should be taught and can be about it without any physical punishment. Taking them to the neighbour’s house and allowing them to move with others will expose them to the different surroundings. This is a teaching which the parents do not do. Observe their movements with others and if they do wrong just tell them that it is wrong to do so. This action needs a lot of patience and tact.

I am currently serving a stint as a teacher and have encountered these experiences on a recurrent basis. Stealing can be caused by no more than our old sinful nature no matter the circumstances. Some kids steal out of the fun of it, the danger of being discovered. Others do it for secondary purposes like sadism. It appears that in every society, some people steal some of the time. I have discovered that the children most likely to steal are neer do wells and they tend to have resentment yelling up in them due to the constant bashing and scolding by the parents and teachers. So the society has to examine the whole issue of rewarding performance, a paradigm shift should occur in which people concentrate on the child’s strengths not weaknesses. The best punishment should involve lecturing the child by placing him or her in the footsteps of the one who has suffered material loss using one of their possessions as an illustration. This approach has seen of change some children. Its the best time to pull them off the brink.

That is a lot of reason why children why children tend to steal something but the numerator are the parents that should guiding their kids to a good and moral character. Just lately in our town, some kids were caught stealing junk foods in their school. The parents were given notice to come to school.

No…sorry. I do not like eating crabs. Whenever I see any dish made of Crabs I literally go away from it for the psychological reasons.

Reaching out is something that anyone would do if they wanted to. It’s just that there ar3 people who think that money is everything but it’s not. I particularly disagree with the people who always think that needy people just need money to survive, but the truth is that all that need sometimes is just to have someone to hug them or hold their hand, and that’s it. Others usually just want that company to feel like they belong, but we sometimes are so full of ourselves that we don’t notice this little things. Time is very important just taking the time to be with someone and do something with them is better than sending dozens of gifts or loads of money, all that will someday get finished, but the friendship that is born between two people in a few minutes can last a lifetime and that’s all that counts.

Beautifully written. I agree 100% with everything you have said here. If a person does a good deed with expectation of return he is not doing a good deed but business and there are so many ways to be kind and bring a difference in lives of other people.

Yum! This salad is loaded with all kinds of good stuff! 🙂

I have my own personal beliefs on reprending my children. I believe that explaining why they are being punished is helpful. Letting your child know why they are being punished and know right from wrong is .y go to. As a last resort will I spank. If it is an on going thing and they know they should not be doing it. I would rather try to get the message across in a non physical manner than resort to a spanning.

It is very necessary how else would they know that they are doing something wrong. Scolding or talking to them will not solve th3 problem because they will eventually get used to that and get worse on their mistakes, but canning or punishments who would want to get used to such life? I believe there is no one who would want that. Back in th3 days I won’t say that we were beaten thoroughly but punches were th3 order of the day, none of us wanted to cross my mum’s path or my dad’s path in the wrong way coz we knew what would follow was not so good. So it was upto is to decide do we want punishments of about them, we all used to try and avoid any trouble with our parents. I guess we were good kids when we grew up coz we hardly got beatings out parents brought us up well. And again it’s not only the parents who taught you manners grandparents also had a part to play, so we had no room to be rude to anyone else you would have to deal with the whole community. For me yes I would spank my child when he/she becomes unruly teaches them to behave like the saying goes spare the rod and spoil the child.

I think the best way to reprimand children is to talk to them like adults. I believe it works. Teaching them what is good and what is good through discussion is the best way. What is more important is to train them through our actions and in-actions. We should always bare it in our minds that whatever we do they will surely emulate us.

I think that punishment is must for children because evil spirit enters into the children mind and compel them to make mischief as I have read in all holy books and the the Mischief of the Spirit.

But some parents are opposite to my view and want to talk children like an adult is not a positive approach to mend the naughty children at home and out of home.

Psychologist say about children punishment in these words….
Parents should avoid physical punishment. If they find themselves using it, then something is wrong and their method of discipline is not working. They may as well admit that spanking is more effective in relieving the parents’ frustration than in teaching the child self-control. More effective methods are needed.

Punishment by itself doesn’t really work. It teaches children only what they shouldn’t do. It doesn’t guide them towards what they should do, so it doesn’t work in changing their behaviour. It might also have negative long-term effects on children.

In families where parents yell, threaten and punish children, children often keep behaving in challenging ways.

What does work?
Linking the punishment, or negative consequence, to your child’s behaviour and showing your child how you’d like her to behave will help in improving her behaviour. For example, if your child takes a biscuit without asking, she might have to practise asking for the biscuit using her manners.

Punishment also works better when you balance punishment with praise and rewards for good behaviour.

Praise and rewards for good behaviour teaches your child what to do and how to behave – for example, ‘Good listening, Callum’. And when your child gets praise for behaving well, he’s likely to want to keep behaving that way. This means you probably won’t need to use negative consequences or punishment as much.

Also, your child needs a warm and loving family environment to grow and develop. She needs you to guide her with family rules and to let her know what behaviour you expect from her. A key way to do this is by talking and listening to your child

Some people get approved faster than others. Some people experience 48 hours (or more) before approval. With both ‘tinycent’ and ‘blogbourne’ I’ll wait. I don’t feel comfortable on either of those sites.

I am a newbie here. I am yet to earn here. I am seeing the blogs regularly.

You are right. Here one need to do some work before posting their blogs.

I am still not getting the site to my knowledge. Groups,blogs, Forums, and topics ..I am feeling some confusion here.
I can overcome it.

I accept that the site is a value and quality based one.

Even I have earned twice here and heading towards third payment. This month is quite busy for me because of too much travelling and my offline work. But I will try my best to reach to third one.
As LB is on time for paying each member, surely we can’t ignore. And unlike other sites this site is having so many ways of paying. It is like we are earning here for our each work. So no way we can ignore this site. It is in list of my daily working sites.

I posted a blog here with a certain topic but the admin says that it cant be publish due to some problem. Sad to say. Hope one ill be successful posting my own story here.

Another plant which has got this type of medicinal properties is Aloe Vera. This is plant used in the manufacture of many beauty products, lotions, creams, ointments, soaps, drinks, food products etc., The plant is very rich in almost all vitamins, proteins, and other cancer-fighting constituents. People were neglecting the use of this plant and now only they are coming to know the value of this plant in fighting against diseases.

All yoga poses were made out of the observation only. The yoga poses viz., Bhujanga Asana, Matsyasana, Tree pose, Parvatasana, are introduced after observing the nature only.

similarly, the substance which acts as anti-venom was found after observing the Mongoose. This is well known for its ability to fight and kill the poisonous snakes, particularly cobra. During the fight when the snake bites it runs immediately towards a plant and eats the leaves. By observing the plant that it prefers to eat after a snake bite the anti-venom tablets and injections have come to light.

This is the observation and thinking of the surroundings that make one a good master.

Well you learned me something. Never heard of a fruit so stink the gardeners don’t like it!

It is a new information for me about this fruit and I an hearing about it first time but I have read it in the book, called the species of fruits I got it from an old book stall many years ago. Now I recall and think about it.

It is most commonly sold in juice form. There are different types, such as unsweetened, sweetened, diluted with grape or other berry juices, or even noni powder mixed with water or juice.

. Analgesic – Noni has the nicknames of “The Tree For Headaches” or “The Painkiller Tree”. Studies have shown that noni reduced pain comparable to the drugs tramadol and hydrocortisone, making it effective for arthritic and other joint pains.

Immune system booster – Noni activates macrophages and strengthens the immune system, which then produces more lymphocytes. It also contains antibacterial agents that fight infectious bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Antidepressant/sedative – Noni stimulates seratonin and melatonin, two very important hormones. Seratonin affects mood, emotions, and sleep; imbalance in levels of serotonin may contribute to depression. Melatonin regulates the Circadian rhythm, which helps you sleep; keeping this regular will help you get a good night’s rest, also improving your mood.

Whenever I was asked to do the grocery shopping, planning ahead of time is also my way.I also made some list of what to be purchase.

In my list, I put the prioritize item on top before those that are not necessary.

planning ahead is not good and i always keep forgeting the things i want to buy, i need to find another way to make the list, because when i do it on paper of on the phone i feel lazy to get the phone or the paper from my purse, really i feel no i know what i want tno need to waste time and look at the list

During my high school years (age 13 to 16) I hated my skin. The acne was horrible. When I got to college it went away. Guess it was just a part of growing up. Although I know it’s not that way for everybody. My acne fixed itself.

Human skin is personality of men and women because it adds charm in women’s grace and women look cute if the skin is damage human face looks bad and no charm init seen. The attraction of face is due to skin that be silky glowing.

Your appearance can say a lot about your personality, in fact every little detail about your appearance can show what type of person you are! Have you been wondering what your appearance says about your personality?

People with blonde hair are often known to be vain, because blonde girls are the ones who are usually pretty. People who color their hair wild types of colors, such as pink or blue are known to be crazy. Your appearance says it all! Take this quiz now to find out what your appearance says about your personality.

When the personality and skin tone do not match, the person has been pushed out of their natural self, due to pressures in life. When this happens, finding and wearing their own colours can be a wonderful release, as they start to relax into their natural self. The only problem is that it may distort your responses to the questionnaire.

For me, you said the magic word: spicy. For my husband you said the magic word: fish. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Also, thanks for the link to those low cholesterol recipes.

It sounds pretty good

Looks great. I am feeling mouthwatering. By the by who is Swamy Nyonya? Who is he? I just want to know about him.

Oh my, the name alone is making me hungry. You know we are in different country but it would have been nice for us members here to have a moment of exchanging our foods and tastes. The recipe of your pomfret is spicy which not for me but I’m willing to try because I think this is delicious.

Hi peach? You make me hungry again this evening upon seeing this so yummy foods.It looks so tasty. How nice to be a chef. Having a talent in cooking would bring you to richness.

oh..very nice to hear the recipe here. I tried it at home. The pity is that there I used more soy oil and the Onions were roasted more. The onions became slightly black. I did not want to waste it and proceeded further. The dish could not be cooked properly. Now I will try.
