When you’re ready to start learning the piano, you might want to take an online piano lesson to see if the piano is really for you. For many people who have always wanted to learn how to play music, the piano is their first choice. If you look online for piano lessons, you will find there are many choices available. The key is to narrow down the websites that offer online piano lessons and focus on the one that can help you achieve your musical goals.
There are certain things you should be looking for before you sign up with any online company. One of the top things on your list of requirements should be that the site has received good reviews and been used by a large number of people to learn how to play the piano. Make sure to read testimonials and customer reviews. You want to be sure that real people have successfully used the program to learn how to play music.
Another thing to look for is the ability to learn at your own pace. You want to be sure you are able to complete each lesson plan within your own time frame before you move on to the next one. You also want to be sure each lesson is easy enough so you can grasp the lesson concept on your own. You don’t want to move forward without being 100% confident that you are ready to learn something new.
Learning online is good option for those people who are busy with other activities outside of the home and aren’t able to fit in another outside appointment. When you learn in your own home, on your own time, there is no pressure to be at your lessons at a scheduled time. This aspect alone can make online piano lessons very appealing.
When you learn online, you can also eliminate the need to find a qualified piano teacher in the area where you live. Testimonials from a number of other people should indicate satisfaction with the website you choose to sign up with. You want to be able to rely on lesson plans that are going to take you from an inexperienced piano player to one that is confident enough to play for friends and family when they come over.
You’ll be excited about the progress you make when you take online piano lessons. You will learn to listen to music and play songs back on your own piano. Friends will be surprised to learn that you take your lessons online. One introductory online piano lesson is all it takes to convince you that online learning is the only way to go.

Reduce Weight And Lose Body Fat Forever – 10 Commandments
Want to know how to reduce weight fast and lose that weight forever? Here are the Ten Commandments you need to do to reduce weight and keep body fat away permanently.
1) Cardio Exercises – Do your cardio exercises frequently. These can be any exercises that work up your heart rate to the extent that you are huffing and puffing for at least 20 – 30 minutes. Do your cardio exercises 5-6 times a week if you want to reduce weight or 2-3 times a week for weight maintenance.
2) Build Muscles – Muscles burn calories even when you are not doing anything but resting. The more muscle mass you have the more calories you will burn a day and in the course of over a period of time, the calories you burnt will add up very substantially. Building muscle mass is one sure way of losing body fat forever.
3) Eat Carbs Early – Take your meals with carbs earlier in the day and cut down on carbs on later meals. This is to prevent unused carbs from turning into body fat when you sleep and to regulate insulin level.
4) Don’t be too afraid of fats – The fats in your diet that are bad for you are saturated and trans fat. So replace these bad fats with unsaturated fat and essential fatty acids (EFAs) and these good fats will keep your body fat and fat related diseases down. But do take your fats in moderation as after all, they are still calorie laden.
5) Complex Carbs – Choose your carbs. Avoid starchy and refined carbs such as pasta, pizza, white rice and white bread. Replace them with brown rice, brown bread and high fiber carbs like green leafy vegetables.
6) Food Portion – Decide how much you want to eat at each meal and then keep to it and do not eat anymore when that portion is consumed. Eat slowly to let your body signal to your brain that you are full. This usually takes about 20 minutes. Extra food means extra and calories mean extra body fat if the food is not converted to energy.
7) Avoid Canned Or Boxed Food – These food are usually high in trans fat, sodium, sugar and simple carbs all of which will help you to gain weight and body fat.
8) Eat Often – By eating often, say at every 3 hourly intervals, your body will think that food is abundant and therefore less likely to store body fat for emergency such as a famine. But do bear in mind to keep the portion small so as not to consume more calories than you expand.
9) Get 8 Hours Sleep – Research after research has shown that people with less sleep are more prone to being fat.
10) Do Not Skip Meals – Skipping meals will slow your metabolism and forcing your body to use your muscles for energy instead of your body fat. This is a vicious cycle, the less muscle you have, the more your metabolism slows down.
There you are. By committing to these 10 commandments, not only will you reduce weight but will lose your body fat forever.

Law Of Attraction: What's In Your Wallet?
In the law of attraction, like attracts like. You get what you asked for based on the clarity of your thoughts. This applies also to what is inside your wallet or purse. You need to be careful with the kind of money that you carry. If you carry dimes in your wallet, that is exactly what you are going to get more of – dimes. So get rid of those dimes and nickels because you don’t want to be attracting that unconsciously.
If you want to attract hundred dollar bills, that is what you should carry more of in your wallet. If it is thousand dollar bills that you are after, than carry it. I am not suggesting that you spend that money. Just carry it in the wallet and the energy will resonate. Having a big dollar note will make you feel rich and that excitement and confidence will send strong emotional vibrations to the universe. The universe registers that as a request and will give exactly more of that feeling to you. You need to feel rich and that can be easily achieved if you know you are carrying a big dollar note. It is very difficult to walk with a rich attitude no matter how well dressed you are if consciously you know that your wallet only has five dollars in it.
Have you ever been in a situation where you did not have enough money with you, just a few dollars to last the whole day or week? How did that make you feel? Sad? Angry? Hopeless? Dejected? Having low self esteem? Afraid? And when you had those feelings, how did you think the universe reacted? It gave you more of those because that was what you produced in your thoughts and emotions. No wonder people in financial difficulties take a long time to get out of their situations, if ever. If only they knew that the trick was only to change their way of thinking and belief systems, and their whole situation would have improved for the better.
‘Begin your journey with the end in mind’. Ever heard of that phrase? In many sales workshops, participants are required to imagine having arrived at the pinnacle of success. Some imagined living in a big house, driving a posh car or traveling in private jets, just to make them feel the excitement of becoming rich and wealthy. And then they are required to dress in their best suits the next day, pretending to ‘have arrived’ and mingling with the rest of the ‘wealthy’ participants. And once they have soaked in this excitement, they can craft the way from their current situation to this ‘wealthy’ state. This role playing is often so real that the participants not knowingly send strong emotions out of their minds into the universe. And many great sales gurus do produce very successful students through this process.
To be wealthy and successful, you need to carry a big dollar note in your wallet, feel rich and go to places where the rich and wealthy patronize. Sit in a fancy restaurant if it is just to drink coffee, hangout at hotel lobbies or country clubs or just window shopping at famous brand boutiques. You need to act rich and feel rich. By the law of attraction, where like attracts like, you will draw wealth to you through this strong vibrations.

5 Baby Shower Gifts That Mom Will Love
With the pregnancy bug in the water system, you are bound to know someone who is having a baby, if you aren’t having one yourself. Pregnant women equal shopping time. Here are 5 gifts that any mother will most certainly be appreciative of. The baby shower gift ideas are great for those who are shopping or for mom’s to put on their gift registry.
1. Diapers, diapers and more diapers. That is quite a bland gift but a very much needed gift. I don’t any mom who will complain about having too many diapers with a newborn at home. To make diapers snazzy you have to dress it up a bit. You can find diaper cakes in lots of gift sites. Some come with as many as 150 diapers, plus booties, bibs and tons of other essentials for baby, but all in the shape of an all so cute cake.
2. Layettes, blankets, socks and burp cloths. Chances are they are going to get tons of these. However, these gifts tend to come in newborn or 3 months sizes which after a few weeks probably won’t serve its purpose anymore. Making this a great gift is if you buy them in larger sizes. After a few months, mom still has brand new gifts for the baby to enjoy.
3. Pamper products for Mom. The last few weeks of pregnancy are very uncomfortable and can be hard on Mom. Let Mom have the star treatment as well. Once the baby is born, Mom’s 15 minutes of fame are over.
4. Savings Bonds. A savings bond is a great way to help invest in the child’s future. While everyone is thinking of now you are thinking ahead. It may also help jumpstart parents to jumpstart on baby’s future if they haven’t already.
5. Gift Certificates. You can never go wrong with a gift certificate. Mom and Dad get to choose what they want and you gave them that satisfaction. The obvious choice for a gift certificate would where the registry is set up. If they do not have a registry set up, good choices could include their favorite supermarket (formula, diapers) or baby store. Another gift certificate idea could be a check card gift certificate. It works like a credit card and can be used anywhere.
Tip: I don’t suggest buying clothing unless the parents-to-be suggested so. Chances are they have already gone shopping and couldn’t resist those tiny adorable outfits.

Should Judgeships Be a Political Event?
Thought of the day; Questions about the judicial system. If the judgeships in our country are political positions based on the way they are chosen, either by election or by appointment and often debated by opposing politicians, then is there really a three branches of government? And if there is not three separate and unique branches then how can we base our trust in any of the other two branches. And is such an obvious question not adding to the mistrust already inherent in the dog eat dog world of politics? If the Judgeships in this country can be either lobbied against or for by other branches and cause a sway in their future opinions then in fact we are blowing smoke up our rears to think that we have a quote FAIR system. If we lie to our selves about the vary nature of our court system, then that proves nothing.
Since we live in the greatest and closest to fair nation in the World why not work on completing the process admit our mistakes and let justice run its “true” course. Can we say with a straight face that there is actually justice in this country? I think the intent has been lost along the way somewhere. If someone has a better idea then lets here it, but as it stands we have violated our Constitutional promise to ourselves and we are the ones to blame, not the perpetrators, lobbyists or the judges listening to such, as they are all human and will do what humans so often do? Screw things up. Perhaps we should abandon the three branches of government equation since we do not use it anyway in its rightful context. Perhaps the Constitution needs some re-working, because it is not working in this regard. I mean, everything is working fine as long as we admit that we are cheating our selves out of our constitutional rights, after all, we are the people and we are the government, right? Why change since everything is working so well these days. After all it is so easy to continue the charade and lying to our selves and pretending everything is great in the Roman Empire?
Hey without blasting anyone on this issue or giving more content to the political late night TV shows. Who the heck are we kidding any way. Why do we have the blocking of appointments of Judgeships? Why are judgeships political events? Why are Sheriffs? District Attorneys? Why not have a royal family and king and royal court and throw away this non-sense of equality and truth, justice and the American way? We do not live it, we just talk it, who are we kidding really? The next generation? Why, so they will work hard so we can get our Social Security now, knowing that they will be holding a bag? The former emperor with no clothes is not any worse than the lies and promises we purport now? And believe you, I am not complaining, happy to be American and happy to live here and participate, but surely we can do better than the façade and charade with politician judges?
If we want the system to be correct, we must as a Nation set down ground rules for truth and revise the system to work in accordance with the wishes of the masses, founders of our Constitution and of course government can get back to its true mission of protecting people from enemies foreign and domestic, instead of fighting ourselves and fighting over the means to get the ends that we all want anyway. All this infighting over nominations and appointments is rather silly and it shows how ridiculous the process and system is and makes fools of us in our own living rooms. Surely the greatest civilization in the history of mankind can do better than this? Is this the best we got? Truth, Justice and The American Way? Show me.

How a Colon Cleanse Benefits You
There are quite a few options available to cleanse your colon, however, you might not understand the colon cleanse benefits that come with it. So read on to find out about a few of the ways that cleaning out your colon will improve your health.
The immediate colon cleanse benefits include but are not limited to:
-increase in energy
-improvement of skin/ decrease in acne
-reduction in water retention
-relieves bloating and gas
-stronger immune system
-excess weight loss
Now, we all want that right?
Well besides all the great benefits mentioned above. Another main reason why someone would want a colon cleansing is due to constipation. Due to many toxins that come from all kinds of factors, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink , and even the air we breath....our colon soon becomes clogged with these accumulated toxins and becomes stuck around the colon wall.
Because of all this, an average person typically carries anywhere from 5lbs to a whopping 40lbs of feces in their colon. That is a pretty scary thing to picture I'm sure...but can you even begin to imagine how unhealthy that is!?
Luckily we can do something about this and get rid of all theses dangerous toxins we keep inside of us.
A colon cleanse, relieves this problem by breaking down the dried layers of feces stuck the colon wall, allowing the waste to properly pass through during bowel movements.
If you suffer from diarrhea on a regular basis, this is because your digestive system is not working the way it is suppose to. This is due to toxins that are interfering with the process of making your waste solid. A colon cleanse can help relieve this problem by ridding your body of these toxins and giving your colon a chance to function the way it should again.
Colon cleaning is also something you should want to do on a regular basis to help prevent colon cancer. Colon cancer is something we all should make a special effort to avoid. It happens to be the third leading cause of death among cancers.
If your interested in the benefits of weight loss, many people dealing with a large gut around the waist often find it is significantly reduced after doing a colon cleanse. This is because much of this gut consists of several pounds of waste buildup stored up in the colon as mentioned earlier
There is no reason not to reap the benefits of a colon cleanse and let all this toxic waste build up inside of you. Take action now!

Rin Otori has done intense research about the colon and the importance of colon cleansing. He has helped many people in relieving symptoms of toxic colon and helped them experience dramatic improvements in their overall health through his articles.

Let the numbers speak for themselves, Human Sex Trafficking Information
Human trafficking is always something that we hear. Yet, somehow, it seems we’ve gone calloused and look at it as something so detached from our reality.
But little did we know that real people are actually suffering due to this crime.
These people are forced to perform labor or sexual acts against their own will and are forcibly or worse taken with consent. But the bottom line is that these people lose their human rights.
Some of the human trafficking figures that will help you understand the magnitude of this problem.
As of 2007, 27 million people are currently serving as slaves in today’s modern world. You would think that slavery has completely been extinguished, unfortunately the data proves otherwise.
Every year, close to 800,000 individuals are smuggled into other countries and this happens worldwide.
Majority of the number comes from the women and children's sector, each year.
161 countries out of 192 (according to the United Nations) are involved with human trafficking.
And while in bondage, there is approximately 30% of victims who will have an actual encounter with a health care professional but they will not have the chance to expose themselves.
Children comprise half or fifty percent (50%) of human trafficking target. And they become victims as early as 12 to 14 years old and they are most likely to get exposed to sexual exploitation.
These facts might seem overwhelming, but this is our reality. People who are trapped in this status are more or less afraid that if they seek for help, their families or loved ones might get hurt. Some are afraid that they will be deported.
No matter how far the problem may seem to be from our experience, the facts stated above is the sad face of human trafficking.
It may not be that simple to end this situation because poverty or economic problems is the root cause of human trafficking. But not taking any actions will definitely put more women, men and children at risk of becoming targets; thereby, putting their lives on hold.
