Ice Cream Maker

By Celia Namart There is no doubt that ice cream is one of the nicest things you can have, in the summer it is possible to eat the ice cream at any time and any place, the beach at home or in an ice cream stand, even more then once a day While ice cream is always fun to have outside, there is a very nice possibly of making the ice cream at home and enjoy an ice cream flavor you choose or even invent. The making of the ice cream may seem like a hard and difficult task and that it requires a lot of time and preparation, the self ice cream process is not that complicated and does not require that you spend all day making it, it is in fact a great way of entertaining your kids and having some family fun. Today there are so many different kinds of ice cream makers on the market that you can find yourself a very advanced ice cream maker and use it to invent all kind of flavors and tastes and experiment with your ice cream maker, its lot of fun and on the latest models there is really not much to do. The great thing about the whole thing is that you can find these machine for much less than before and there are some models that are especially cheap for those of us that are not yet sure that this is something they want to do. You will have to take a good look at the features of the model because in some cases the cheaper models are noisy and take a long time to produce ice cream, not saying the some of the more expensive models are without problems but in general the pre freezing is not necessary any more, and on some new models you can make a batch after batch of ice cream, making it possible for you to make 5 different batches in less than 5 hours. I use to prepare my ice cream on Saturday or any free day, after most of the activates are over, around late noon I gather my kids and open the recipe book to find some ideas to how we are going to use our ice cream maker that day, if we cant find anything we want a short research on the internet shows us the way and we are off to the shop to get everything we need, when we are back everyone picks out a task and the ice cream making starts, we make about 3 batches and place them in the freezer, once we all agree on the timing we sit down to enjoy a family ice cream, our own ice cream, it is a great joy. So if you are considering an ice cream maker start thinking of what are the features that you want, and how much you think you will use your ice cream maker, then take a look at some of the recipes and go out to the shops to find your ice cream maker, make sure it has a some kind of warranty and that it is easy to maintain and clean. Its a lot of fun making your ice cream, and I am sure you will have fun using it, happy eating!

Healthy Eating Tips When Eating Out

By Gary Gresham Healthy eating tips work very well when you are at home and can control how you prepare food. But what happens when you decide to eat out? If you are serious about eating healthy to lose weight, you can still go out to a restaurant and enjoy a nice meal. You just need to be aware of what is going to be offered and decide to make good choices. Remember, eating healthy to lose weight is one choice at a time and eventually it will become a way of life for you. When eating out, here are some good healthy food alternative tips for you. Always drink water, diet soda, or tea instead of regular soda or beverages that contain sugar or alcohol. A good healthy eating tip is order a salad because it fills you up, is low in fat and is loaded with vitamins. Get your dressings or sauces on the side, because you have control over how much you add. Here is a little trick, dip your fork in your salad dressing just before you fork your salad. You still taste the dressing but it cuts down on the amount you use. Another healthy eating tip if you choose a soup is, stay away from cream based soups because they are higher in fat than other soups. A soup can be a great appetizer, because most are low in calories and fill you up pretty fast. When you order grilled fish or vegetables, ask that the food be grilled without butter or oil, or prepared with very little. Oil and butter will increase your fat intake and why eat exactly what you are trying to lose? When you order pasta dishes, stick to tomato based sauces instead of the cream based sauces. Tomato based sauces are much lower in fat and a great healthy food alternative. When ordering a baked potato, ask for salsa instead of sour cream, butter, cheese, or even bacon. Salsa is very low in calories and provides a healthy food alternative with plenty of flavor and spice. When you are full, stop eating. It takes your brain about 20 minutes to register that your stomach is full. So slow down to taste and savor every bite. Remember you are eating healthy to lose weight so don’t be afraid to take half of your meal home. The second portion of your meal can be another meal later. This way, you get two meals for the price of one. Here are a couple of other healthy eating tips. You can always order two appetizers or an appetizer and a salad as your meal. Always look for food on the menu that’s baked, grilled, broiled, poached, or steamed. These types of cooking use less fat in the cooking process. As key ingredients to your meal, choose dishes with fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are great sources of dietary fiber and have lots of vitamins and minerals. Choose foods made with whole grains, such as whole wheat bread and dishes made with brown rice. If you crave dessert, look for something with low fat, such as berries or fruit. Always remember not to deprive yourself of the foods you truly love. All types of foods can fit into a well balanced diet. Eating healthy to lose weight is a great choice. Use these healthy eating tips next time you eat out and you can still enjoy weight loss success. Copyright 2006 Fat-Burning-Secret.com All Rights Reserved.

Good Friday, or Good WEDNESDAY?

By Michael Tummillo The following study is presented with one intention: to cause its readers to think. Too often, throughout the Body of Christ, we do things out of religious obligation, many never knowing why we perform this or that religious act. As “Believers,” we simply believe, assuming that SOMEBODY – our leaders (we hope) – have a handle on things, and we move along, often too ashamed to ask for fear of making waves. Multitudes of sincere Believers solemnly perform their denominational duties on an almost “professional” level. A new member can only hope to one day become as adept at their own performance of the prescribed methods. For a moment, let’s take a good look at Good Friday. SIMPLY PUT. Ask almost any kid how many hours are in a day and you’ll get “24″ as the answer. Multiply that by 3 days and you get 72 hours every time. When we know that Jesus arose from the grave on what we refer to as “Easter morning,” if we work backward for one 24 hour period, we land squarely on Saturday morning, right? When we work backward for a second 24-hour period, we wind up squarely in the middle of Friday morning. Finally, when we work backward for a third and final 24-hour period, there we are, squarely in the midst of “Good Thursday” morning. Pretty simple, yes? Not rocket science at all. Wait. It gets better! Was Jesus referring to a LITERAL 3 Days/3 Nights when He said He’d be “3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth” and so fulfill “the type of Jonah” (Matt 12:39-40), what did He mean? How about when He said, “The Son of Man must sufferbe killed and AFTER 3 days rise again” (Mk 9:31)? Three days and three nights is 72 hours, right? Working BACKWARDS from Resurrection Sunday brings us toGood Friday? NO! Good Wednesday, actually. HOW SO? The Hebrew day was measured from one sunset to the next (6PM to 6PM), generally referred to as “evening to evening” (Lev 23:32; Ex 12:18). The Roman time-keeping method was midnight to midnight. Several Scriptures refer to the variances in Hebrew vs. Roman time: Jn 19:14 (6AM to sunrise); Mk 15:25 (9AM on the day of crucifixion); Matt 27:45 (noon to 3PM). The ‘twelve hours in the day’ referred to in John 11:9 referred to sunrise and the twelve hours of the night FROM sunset. Here’s where the expression ‘a night and a day’ in 2 Corinthians 11:25 denotes a complete day. So, 6PM on Saturday (the Sabbath) started the first day of the week (our Sunday), important when studying the resurrection accounts. Jesus was killed the 3rd hour (Hebrew time, 9AM) and hung on the cross 3 hours. At the 6th hour (Hebrew time) darkness covered the land until the 9th hour (noon to 3PM), completing the 9 hours of agony on the cross. Because the NEXT day was the HIGH Sabbath, beginning at 6PM, the body was placed in the borrowed tomb just before sunset (Jn 19:31). Before labeling this as heretical teaching, observe: the confusion comes from the variations between Hebrew and Roman time-telling, as well as the MUCH overlooked fact that there was an EXTRA festival Sabbath taking place in that final week BESIDES the regular weekly Sabbath. This will be explained later, if you’re interested. Stay with me. WHERE DOES “EASTER” COME FROM? The early translators of the Scriptures translated the Greek word for “Passover” (the whole week of the festival) as “Easter.” Why? This was a pagan festival named for the Saxon goddess, Eastra, which no doubt got her name from the Assyrian/Babylonian goddess of fertility, Ishtar (which explains the eggs and reproductive rabbits as the poster children for the occasion). Now, God does not seem to be into our religious feast days and holy days as much as people seem to think He is (Amos 5:21-24). Yes, Jesus participated in them, but He was under the Law as much as any other good Jew of His day. When it comes to Holy days, today is as Holy as any, for the Scripture says, “THIS is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!” (Ps 118:24). Remember, before reading one more word: “The traditions of man make the Word of God of no effect,” (Mk 7:13). We must not check our brains at the sanctuary door. If we do that in regard to Good Friday, logically-speaking, when ELSE are we doing so? We are not obligated to buy every can o’ peas on the shelves of our denominational grocery stores. The Bible does NOT say that the truth will set us free. It says “they shall KNOW the truth and the truth will set them free.” KNOWING the truth is THAT the key? Jesus said, “I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life.” Knowing JESUS, having a RELATIONSHIP with HimTHAT is the key! WHY DOES IT MATTER? Now, I realize that, whether this message is accepted or rejected, it will not save or condemn a single soul. DO ask yourselves, however, if there might be any OTHER erroneous doctrines of devils or of man which you may have been spoon-fed, when it’s the doctrines of GOD and of Christ that are ALL that matter. All other doctrines simply serve to put us, and keep us, in religious bondage. The word “religion” itself MEANS “a return to bondage.” Jesus came to set us FREE! So, study, pray about it, check out these verses and see if the haze doesn’t begin to clear… Familiarize yourself with these Old Testament 3-Day types: Gen 22:1-14; Gen 40:12-19;42:17; Ex 3:18; 5:3; 8:27; Ex 15:26; Num 33:8; Num 10:33; Josh 1:11; 3:2; Esther 4:16; Jonah 1:17; 3:3 MORE? Josh 2:16,22; 9:16; 14:14; 19:4; 1 Sam 9:20; 20:5,19; 30:12-13; 2 Sam 20:4; 24:13; 1 Chron 21:12; 1 Kings 12:5; 2 Kings 2:17; 1 Chron 12:39; 2 Chron 10:5; 20:25; Ezra 8:15,32; Neh 2:11; Hosea 6:3 Familiarize yourself with these New Testament 3-Day Signs: Matt 12:39-40; Matt 14:32; Mk 8:2; Lk 2:46; Lk 13:32; Jn 2:1; Jn 2:18-21; Acts 9:9 Here are the 3 Days/3 Nights of Calvary as referred to in Scripture… The following examples speak of 3 days AND 3 nights: Jonah 1:17; Esther 4:16; Matt 12:40. THE SABBATH DAY. WHICH ONE? Scripture reveals that Israel observed the weekly Sabbath, the 7th day of the week (Ex 20:8-11; 31:12-18; Deut 5:12-14). Additionally, besides these WEEKLY Sabbaths, there were FESTIVAL Sabbaths! If any of these fell during the ordinary week, they counted it as an EXTRA Sabbath in that week, meaning there were sometimes TWO Sabbaths in one week: the FEAST Sabbath and the WEEKLY Sabbath. Proof? Lev. 23:1-4 deals with WEEKLY Sabbaths of Rest. Leviticus 23:4-44 deals with holy convocations, or Sabbaths, which are ADDITIONAL Sabbaths in the week. Note verses 7-36 where “holy convocations” are referred to and verses 24-39 where plain “Sabbaths” are referred to. There were ALSO Sabbath YEARS of rest for the land, including Jubilee (the 50th year, Leviticus 25). So, there were TWO Sabbaths in the Passover week, the week of Jesus’ crucifixion: the FEAST Sabbath, or HIGH Day, as well as the WEEKLY Sabbath. Got it? Why does the Church get confused? First, we don’t take time to note the “fixed” points of Scripture. Second, the Gentile translators of the Scriptures did NOT understand the Law concerning Hebrew feasts and Sabbaths. Finally, the accidental, if not blatantly arrogant assumption that the Roman, midnight-to-midnight method was the method used by the writers. THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS There are 16 references in the New Testament speaking of the 3 Days/3 Nights of Christ’s redemptive work. In His first mentioning of His sufferings (Matt 16:21), Jesus says He would be ‘raised again the third day.’ In John 2:19, He had already mentioned ‘three days’ as the time after which He would raise up ‘the Temple of His body,’ This expression occurs 11 times in regard to His resurrection. The expression ‘after 3 days’ (Mk 8:31), is used to describe the same event. This shows that 3 Days/3 Nights MUST include 3 days and the 3 PRECEDING nights. The full 3/3 is evidence of the resurrection on the THIRD of the THREE DAYS, each preceded by a night. WHY 3 DAYS AND NOT 2 OR 4? Numbers 19:11,12 says that a man who touches death was to purify himself on the 3rd day. Leviticus 7:17,18 says the flesh of a peace offering was NOT to be kept beyond the 3rd day, but was to be burned as unfit for eating. Didn’t Jesus become sin at the cross, causing God Himself, because of His holiness, to turn His face? Didn’t Jesus descend into the flames of Hell upon His death? Also, Herodotus (AD 86-89) wrote that embalming took place AFTER three days. Finally, the Jewish custom was not to accept as evidence the identification of a dead body AFTER 3 days because, in the Middle East, decay occurs quickly. The fact that Lazarus was dead 4 days was proof that he was REALLY dead, without hope, and ‘stinketh,’ (Jn 11:17,39). God apparently has a “thing” about 3′s. We believe in a triune God, don’t we? We’re 3-part beings ourselves, body, soul & spirit. If this study presents enough evidence to convince anyone that they’ve been spiritually misdirected regarding the Good Friday tradition, I advise that they rejoice in the revelation and leave it at that. Paul gave us some pretty good instructions for handling this type of situation in Romans 14. Check it out. ALLOWING SCRIPTURE TO GUIDE US 1) the HIGH Day of Jn 19:31 was the FIRST day of the feast; Jesus “gave up the ghost.”] 2) the FIRST DAY OF THE FEAST was the 15th day of Nisan which began at SUNSET on the 14th 3) SIX DAYS BEFORE THE PASSOVER (Jn 12:1) takes us BACKWARD to the 9th of Nisan 4) AFTER TWO DAYS IS THE PASSOVER (Matt 26:2; Mk 14:1) takes us to the 13th of Nisan 5) THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK (resurrection day, Matt 28:1) was from our Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset, fixing the days of the WEEK. 6) Going BACKWARD from the THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS (Matt 12:40) we arrive at the day of BURIAL, before sunset on the 14th of Nisan, i.e., BEFORE our Wednesday sunset! This makes the 6th day before Passover the 9th of Nisan, our Thursday sunset to Friday sunset. Before Wednesday, Nisan 14th (commencing on Tuesday at sunset), was the PREPARATION DAY on which the crucifixion took place. All four gospels agree this was the day of the Lord’s burial (before our Wednesday sunset). The bodies should not remain on the cross the Sabbath day, “for that Sabbath was a HIGH DAY,” therefore, not the USUAL 7th day, or WEEKLY Sabbath (Jn 19:31). WHATS FOR SUPPER? Since Jesus was crucified on PREPARATION DAY, He could NOT have eaten the Passover lamb at the Last Supper. It wasn’t slain till evening of the 14th of Nisan (afternoon). On that day, the daily sacrifice was killed at the 6th hour (noon) and offered by the 7th hour (1PM). Clearly, this did not take place till 4 hours AFTER the Lord had been hanging on the cross and wasn’t completed till the 9th hour (3PM) when HE GAVE UP THE GHOST. No Passover Lamb could have been eaten at the Last Supper the previous evening, though Jesus had sent Peter and John to make arrangements to eat the Passover (Matt 26:18; Mk 14:14; Lk 22:8-15). John 18:28 CLEARLY indicates that the Jews brought Jesus before Pilate in the early morning, careful not to enter the palace so they could avoid becoming ceremonially unclean as “they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.” This refers to the whole festival of Passover and Unleavened Bread, which lasted seven days and included a number of meals. Rather significant that the lambs were killed when THE Lamb of God actually died, eh? With these facts, we can piece together the events of the Lord’s last week as recorded in the Gospels. As for the 3 Days and 3 Nights before His resurrection, they were as follows: 1) FIRST NIGHT AND DAY IN THE TOMB: The First Day of the Feast (THE HIGH DAY), the 15th of Nisan, our Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset. 2) SECOND NIGHT AND DAY IN THE TOMB: The Second Day of the Feast, the 16th of Nisan, our Thursday sunset to Friday sunset. 3) THIRD DAY AND NIGHT IN THE TOMB: The Third Day of the Feast, the 17th of Nisan, our Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. 4) THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, the 18th of Nisan, our Saturday sunset, the THIRD DAY of Matthew 16:21, NOT the third day of the feast. Considering these details, we can summarize that Jesus was actually crucified on a Wednesday, NOT a Friday. WHY THE MISTAKES ALL THESE CENTURIES? Matthew 28:1 was translated from the Hebrew/Chaldee and Greek as “After the SABBATHS, toward the dawn of the day following the SABBATHS .” All 7 days of the Paschal Week were SABBATHS on the old Hebrew calendar. Obviously, the translators did not understand the distinctions in the Hebrew Sabbaths in the Passover Week. A bit arrogant but we’d probably do the same thing today, assuming that everyone told time and used the same expressions for various parts of the day as we do. Because of this, these translators assumed Jesus was crucified on Friday, because He was crucified the day before the WEEKLY Sabbath. In the Passover Week, THURSDAY was a Sabbath, a HIGH DAY, an EXTRA Sabbath. Two Sabbaths in one week, causing confusion in the Church to this day. THE BOTTOM LINE In short, Jesus was crucified Wednesday morning, the third hour. From noon to 3PM, there was darkness on the land. By 6PM, Jesus was in the tomb, as the bodies could not remain on the cross on a Sabbath day, for “THAT SABBATH was a High Day” (Jn 19:31). It was NOT a weekly Sabbath, NOT a Saturday. It WAS the Passover Sabbatha Thursday. Therefore, Jesus was crucified on Wednesday. Good Wednesday, if you like. We hear lots of talk about “Living in the last days.” We should live our lives serving the Lord with gladness, as if today were OUR last day. As special days go, the two most special days we should consider at this point are: 1) the day we die and 2) the day Christ returns. In either case, the question is: “Are we ready?” ABOUT THE AUTHOR Michael’s mission is to bring Discipleship and Encouragement to the Body of Christ.

Gifts, All That Is Left Of Yesterday

By Ispas Marin Whenever dealing with such an overwhelming issue as the exquisite feeling of achievement and joy of our children we always use the commercial use of gifts usually comprising their utmost yearnings such as the latest toy embodying their hero or favorite personality. It was psychologically shown that these moments are sheer important for forming their personality and preserving their serene state of mind which usually means full development. First and foremost, it should be taken into account the fact that, in this case, we should discuss the safety projected by these certain toys or gadgets on your children: firstly, we can bring about the issue of their imaginative world, the one they have created accordingly to their ideas or fantasies. Secondly, by safety we can also refer to the fact that these toys are precisely chosen by means of their age and possibilities. Furthermore, many people should be protected by the ensnaring of matters regarding the easiness of pursuing these toys. There are plenty of possibilities for doing it; yet, the most convenient way is the exact one which could combine the price, quality and purchase of the gadget. There should be added that there should exist the range of products which could satisfy any taste, as exigent as it could be.

Burning Fat While Keeping Your Muscle

By Danna Schneider Most people who diet have a goal to lose pounds, inches and fat. The problem is, most approaches only focus on the actual amount of weight loss and not the maintenance of existing muscle tissue. The problem with this? Well, the fundamental problem with this common approach is that muscle can be compared to a fat burning machine metaphorically speaking. Without muscle mass, it would take all of us five times longer to burn off the stored up fat that gives us puffy bellies, love handles and thunder thighs. Any personal trainer or nutritionist will tell you that retaining muscle mass while losing weight is critical not only to your long term success, but also to the shape and look of your body. Muscle tone and mass is what gives us those coveted curves, ripples (the good kind), and definition. People with more muscle tone simply look much thinner, healthier and more defined. So, how can you assure you remain a fat burning machine while retaining muscle? 1. Up your cardio rather than your strength training if you’re pressed for workout time. Cardio both burns fat and sculpts and tones muscle. Putting cardio before strength and weight training in the beginning stages of weight loss is critical to both fast fat reduction and muscle maintenance. After the initial few weeks, you can again increase your strength training. 2. Opt for a diet that favors lean protein over fatty proteins (like the Atkins diet, which doesn’t favor lean over fatty). Also opt for whole grains and whole wheat, which will not promote water weight and puffiness like white refined and bleached flour products will. This should also be consumed in moderation though. You’re going to have to forego the sugar too. Sugar leads to excess water retention and fat storage. It essentially keeps fat from being properly metabolized and burned by the body, since the sugar is burned off first. You may also want to avoid excessive sodium. Bodybuilders actually use this trick to help their muscles look more defined, since the layer of water-retaining tissue that normally may be there over the muscle gets thinner and exposes more ripples and definition. 3. Protein shakes. Some, not all, protein shakes can help to retain your muscle mass. These are usually high protein, low fat shakes that are made with whey or other lean protein powders and skim or soy milk. 4. Keep your metabolism revved up. If you have a desk job, get up and go into a bathroom stall if you have to for a round of twenty squats. Do this as often as you can. It’s a great calorie burner and fat blaster. It also boosts your energy and helps sculpt buns and thighs. Visit Fat Loss Supplement for more information on effective fat blasting supplements and methods.

Online Auto Loans

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Elizabeth_Morgan]Elizabeth Morgan The possibility of applying for auto loans on the Internet is one of the many fringe benefits of the cyber revolution. Direct loans via the Internet are certainly a convenient facility, and can be of great benefit as far as saving on paperwork, footwork and time is concerned. Also, no dealers are involved. But there are pitfalls to online auto loans that can be avoided with a little foresight and investigation. Many financial institutions, like banks and credit unions, make it possible to obtain auto loans online today. An applicant should not make the mistake of assuming that they are all the same they arent. Above all, it should be remembered that applying for or ordering anything online is usually the smarter option. The process usually takes place without the benefit of experienced advice, which can sometimes lead to rude awakenings. It is also easy to overlook hidden costs such as processing, administration and other charges that may be implied but not clearly mentioned. Secondly, banks that offer this facility all have different eligibility, disbursement and repayment parameters. For instance, most of them offer the facility of reduced interest rates for repayments made by automatic deduction. This works out cheaper as far as interest rates are concerned. Banks that do not offer this facility should be avoided. If you are able to make payments in this fashion, choosing such a bank is certainly wise. On the whole, online auto loans can be a boon. The application-to-disbursement process is gratifyingly quick. The interest rates involved are usually also quite a bit lower than those associated with the usual channels. They can range from 7.5% to 8.5%. Furthermore, one can also avail of auto loans for used cars via the Internet.

Padlocks of the Heart

By Vlady Peters Remember Calamity Jane, when Doris Day , racing from behind a rock, to stand in front of a tree, flying off to lean against another tree, all the while singing away about her secret love for Wild Bill Hickok? No doubt, there would be a time when Bill and Jane would reenter the little woodland, or whatever it was, and Bill, unsheathing his Bowie knife, would slash out a heart in the bark of Black Hills White Spruce, or Ponderosa Pine, and whittle out Bill loves Jane XXX. Many years later Jane and Bill would come back to see if they could still find the heart, and laugh at their youthful follies. Many of such innocent pastimes are well and truly over. Nor is anyone encouraging girls and boys to be running around with knives and slashing away at trees no matter for what romantic reasons. But couples, all over the world, are still running around trying to express their sentiment in a public way. For example, there is an old Russian wedding tradition where a couple, after exchanging their wedding vows, take a padlock to some public place, like a bridge, and after attaching it, throw away the key into the water. This symbolizing the unbreakable bond of marriage. Often the padlocks will have inscribed on it the spouses’ names together with the wedding date. In many large cities of Asia, it’s lovers, and not married couples, who are attaching padlocks to popular places to proclaim publicly their commitment to each other. Some of these places are specifically designed and built for just this purpose. Couples in love will bring with them one padlock with two keys. After attaching the padlock, they will each take a key. Should they break up sometime in the future, one or both of them will come back and ceremoniously take off the padlock. This is deemed as a visual symbol of farewell and lets get on with the rest of our lives. While in some cities the tradition is put up with by the authorities, there are some who are getting extremely unsympathetic to the lover. On the Ponte Vechio, around the bust of Cellini, lovers put locks with their initials on the railings that go around the statue. The practice is beginning to annoy the authorities since the weight of the locks is undermining the structure itself. Despite the fact that the padlocks are getting removed ever so often, and lovers are threatened with all sorts of penalties, because the place is so associated with lovers, as fast as the city fathers get rid of one lot of padlocks, hundreds of lovers are cueing up to put up some more.
