As a webmaster of a Filipina Penpal and dating site, I’m amazed at some member’s relationship mentality. For whatever reason, they view online dating as a jump from meeting to instant marriage without any courtship. This is not the road to take for a successful marriage, be it you meet at an online dating site or your local church.

Most initial contact is based on physical attraction. However, I recommend to members of my site to start out as penpals and act accordingly. No sexual innuendos, no promises, no commitments — take your time getting to know each other and see where it leads. Relationships based solely on looks is usually a recipe for disaster. I’m not saying attraction is not important, but it isn’t the sole criterion to sustaining a long and happy marriage. There has to be more to a relationship than the way he or she looks, but also on what he or she has in common.

Online dating to some is an avenue to circumvent the courtship process. They see someone online, exchange a few emails, and instantly declare love. In a traditional dating scenario you don’t usually declare love after a few dates. Why should online dating be any different? The courting process after meeting someone online should be similar to traditional dating. There is an attraction, you exchange emails, and if interest is sparked you flirt, communicate, and even do a version of traditional dating through online chats, phone calls and spending time getting to know each other. Online dating is not an environment where marriage success is magically guaranteed with a “hello” to a “I do” without involving the courting process.

Taking the penpal approach to meeting someone online, may help keep your behavior in check. I’m amazed when a gentleman is flirting with a lady within the first or second email. This person is usually trying to circumvent the courtship process and in doing so is asking for problems. Many who flirt when flirting is not appropriate, is the type of person a hustler is looking for. Keeping your words appropriate for the stage of the relationship you are in and by starting out as penpals, may be your safest and best approach to finding true love.

If you are in a hurry or feel you don’t have time to waste looking for love, you need to rearrange your priorities or in the long run you may waste a lot more time in divorce court or involved with an unhappy marriage. Do yourself a favor — be a penpal first and let the stages of courtship develop naturally. If you are as lucky as I was, not only will you find true love, but also a best friend for life.

When you are in love, it’s the best feeling in the world, which is why it’s so terrible once you realize that it might have been betrayed! Many of us find that our significant others are cheating and the revelation is something that can lead to a number of different changes in our lives, but first you have to catch them. When you are looking for the signs of a cheating girlfriend, you’ll find that there are many things that you should look for, and while on their own, they are not necessarily conclusive, you should be very nervous if you recognize some or all of these.

1. Suddenly dressing up more. If you have been with your girlfriend for a while, there is a good chance that you have grown used to seeing her in her normal, everyday, beat around the house clothing. There’s nothing wrong with this; it means that she is comfortable with you and that familiarity is something that has grown between you. If you notice that she has suddenly started looking a lot sharper, it might be a cause for concern, so ask her what’s up. 2. Cut off phone conversations If you walk in on her unexpectedly while she’s on her phone, she might suddenly break off the conversation, or oddly enough, start talking louder, as if she is saying that she has nothing to hide. Both of these things can tell you that she is hiding something, and while it might be totally innocent, you might find that in the end, it is not. This is suspicious behavior, so think about how often you see it. 3. Covering friends If you have a lot of contact with your girlfriend’s friends, you may find that one of the signs of a cheating girlfriend is that they start covering for her. She’ll head out to hang out with them unexpectedly, or you might find that they are calling to let you know that she will be late. In any case, you’ll find that the increased contact with her friends mean that they are telling you what she wants you to hear. Discovering that your girlfriend is cheating can be an extremely terribly thing to see, but keep in mind that it is a common one. Though there are plenty of standard signs that your girlfriend is cheating you, remember that mostly, it will be a change in attitude and behavior.

It took me over 32 years to find one of the coolest hobbies I have ever done! Gold panning can be one of the neatest things you can do! The first time I went panning was about 3 months ago. Me and my dad decided to go to Dahlonega, Ga for our first prospecting experience. It took about 3 hours to get there from Alabama and we were shocked!

Atlanta has spread all the way into Dahlonega and there were houses on every block. We drove around for a few minutes and finally found their empty lake. It was a great idea; people have probably never been to some areas in many years! The levels were super low and we instantly felt the importance of water.

We parked at the doc and walked down the lake side and found a really nice outcropping of Quart. We pecked around for awhile hoping to find a Gold band. We ended up walked about a mile down the lake and turned around and decided to leave. We drove east of Dahlonega and found a really nice flowing stream.

As soon as I got in the stream I could see that there were many different kinds of rock and minerals in the water. I sunk the pan in and pulled it up and let the water wash the top sand off. That is when I saw this very pretty yellow on the bottom of the pan. I screamed “I found gold!” My dad come over and he laughed and said that is fools gold. It was everywhere and if you tried to break it would crumble apart. We didn’t find any Gold but we did have a fun day and got to see a very awesome river for a short time!

If you didn’t know about gold here is a little info to get you started.

First, is a very heavy yellow metal. It has a specific gravity of 19.3 which means a quart of gold would weigh 19.3 times as much as a quart of water. As a comparison, lead has a specific gravity of about 11 so gold is almost twice as heavy as lead.

• Malleable and Ductile. It can be hammered so thin that 250,000 sheets would be one inch high! One ounce can be drawn into a wire thirty five miles long.

• Gold is never found pure in nature. It is usually alloyed with copper, silver and/or platinum.

• Gold is so heavy it will act differently than the other material. So if you pan correctly it will stay in the bottom of your Pan!

• Gold has a shiny structure and looks about the same in and out of the light.

• Not sure you if you found gold? Take a hammer and if it breaks, you’re out of luck. If it is Gold It will bend and not break!

• Not recommended for beginners -get some Nitric acid and drop it in there. If it doesn’t react then you may have Gold! Nitric acid is dangerous if it gets on you or you breathe the fumes it can hurt you! Research how to use it!

Where to find gold

1. A Stream passes through many miles of different minerals.

2. The density is ten times that of common sand! Therefore it naturally falls to the lower place in a stream.

3. A new supply can be found annually. Spring showers always wash new Gold down creek.

4. Being on the river can be a way to spend day.

5. It can be hard to get on properties these days, stick to public bridges. We do have the right of way in the streams!

6. The placer gold sometimes may lead a trail to the mother lode. If you find it you may never have to work again!

Which Streams contain gold?

There are 4 characteristics that you need to find gold!

1. The Stream can not be damned and flow freely.

2. You need to have rich mineral content in the area.

3. The creek needs enough elevation to churn in spring floods.

4. Stream path and rock formations facilitate the deposition of the dense materials (gold, lead, iron, mercury etc.)

Gold is found as the free metal and in tellurides. It is widely distributed and almost always associated with pyrite or quartz. Gold veins can be found in alluvial deposits. If you find a vein of quart peck around on it and be sure and look very good! People have found Quart rocks with gold all through it.

I have read that if you find black sand that is a great place to look for Gold! Another place to look is around a big rock or by an old log! That is where you may find a nice nugget that has been hiding for years!

Go find you a pan and plan a great get-away and go Panning Today!

There are many ways to send money to your loved-ones in the Philippines, and some methods work better for others. You just have to choose which service is more convenient to you and your recipient in terms of security, availability, remittance charges, and the speed of delivery.

Sending Online

With the advent of the internet, sending money online is now very easy, and your recipient receives the money in seconds. One example is the Xoom Money Transfer where your debit or credit cards (Amex, Visa), US checking account or Paypal can be used to fund your transfer. Your recipient will be informed through a text message when the money is deposited or available for pick up.

Through Banks

Sending your money through banks is another secure way but this option is better if the recipient has a bank account with an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card. This makes it convenient for the recipient to withdraw cash anytime, and they are spared the trouble of having to wait for banking hours but you can still send money through banks even if the recipient does not have an account.

The banks can either deliver the money door to door or let your recipient pick up the money from their branches or pick up locations. You can avail of the services of the following banks: BPI Remittance, Citibank, Equitable PCI Bank Express Padala, PNB Europe, PNB Rapid Remit, RCBC Telemoney, Security Bank, and UCPB.

Money transfer agents

To date, the most popular way of sending money to the Philippines is through money transfer agents like the Western Union Money Transfer, LBC pick up and MoneyGram. These agents have their own web sites where you can send money online, or you can go to the nearest outlet and send the money through their offices with very minimal charges.

Claiming the money is quick and easy. With Western Union, the recipient does not have to spend precious time waiting for the bank to open because Western Union outlets have sprung up almost everywhere, even pawnshops on a 24-hour basis. The recipient can pick up the money the minute you send it by presenting even one valid identification card. If sent through LBC, recipients can also pick up the money in LBC outlets during office hours.

Other ways to send money to the Philippines are Allsafe (Australia), Atlas Xpress Padala, Forexworld, FX Remit, G-Cash (provided by Globe telecommunications), iKobo Lucky Money, MegaPadala, Moneygram International, MyAyala, Paystone, Philsend,Remithome, Smart Padala (provided by Smart telecommunications), Technocash (Australia), UK Moneygram, Uniteller, Wells Fargo, Xoom, and YesPinoy. These services are available in different areas.

One word of advice: You must be careful in sending money to the Philippines. It is better that you use the existing services and not send the money through a person or individual only to find out that somebody else is enjoying your money and your loved-one did not receive a single cent.

One of the most embarrassing things any man can suffer from is the occurrence of “man boobs.” Whether it is from obesity or actual victims of gynecomastia, “man boobs” have been a common occurrence in America today. Everyone can think of at least one person who has suffered from this embarrassing problem. The difference with men who suffer from gynecomastia and those who just develop man boobs from being obese is that the gynecomastia victims are innately born with this problem. Actual breast tissue that also occurs in women develop on the chest of these men. In worst cases, some actually develop breast milk.

Man boobs are one of those taboo topics that no man feels comfortable sharing. Guys are usually made fun of for their deformities. Take the famous movie: “Fight Club” for an example. One of the men that joined the secret organization known as the Fight Club suffered from this problem and was bashed on with humor and ridicule. In the new upcoming movie “Meet the Spartans,” there is one Spartan who covers his body with his shield before his introduction, later revealing his man boobs. Kevin Sorbo who plays the role of the captain mentions about his man boobs, and in an attempt for humor, the main character who parodies Leonidas grabs his chest.

There are many movies and objects that depict the very image of man boobs. Most people laugh it off because it is humorous. Men are not supposed to have boobs nor are they made to breast feed. It is a deformity that occurs more often than not. Here are some famous examples of man boobs: Golden statues of Buddha, sumo wrestlers, some roman statues, Samewise Gamgee from “Lord of the Rings,” Tom Cruise in his debut of the “The Last Samurai,” etc.

More and more men in America are becoming obese and these man boobs become a common occurrence. In the show, “The Biggest Loser” aired on NBC represents the majority of American men today. And yes, man boobs are commonly seen on this show. Men with man boobs are not alone, and this problem can be helped. So what can you do to get rid of man boobs? There are methods, ways, and products that really help. For starters just being more active, exercising or having a better diet helps.

You’ve seen man boobs in the movies and on TV. If you have them, learn how to get rid of man boobs. Man boobs are plaguing society and you may need to lose man boobs to uphold your reputation this summer.
