Back to School - Shopping Tips

Back to School sales seem to start almost as soon as your children leave school for the summer. For parents, these sales are one of the best ways to save money and save big. Let's take a look at some of the possibilities for you to realize savings in preparation to send your children to school.

1 Sales. Yes, Back to School sales are still a real bargain for the parents. The national retail chains such as Walmart, Target, Sears, JC Penney, Kmart and all the running, so now do, "pharmacy chains include: CVS, Walgreens, and Eckerds. The former group of shops are the most popular shop for clothes and bookbags, while the second group will rate cut school supplies.

2 U.S. dollars Stores. Almost every city in America, the "one-dollar" stores, where everything is, you guessed it, sold for a dollar. Many of these stores are hit or miss as far as what they wear or what they have available. Some items, even at a dollar, are much more expensive than those found "for sale" in regelmaigen retailers.

3 Close outs. May your children protest, but the close stores - Odd Lots and Big Lots to name two - Article your family can use. Certainly, the clothes can escape from the kind, but lunchboxes, pens, stationary, bookbags, and the like are generally not.

4 Hand Me Downs. Big bro or sis can have a great article of clothing or objects that are no longer used. If they are gently worn /used examine past these things to your younger kids.

5 Garage and yard sales. Your child's Lunchbox or computers can be found in your neighbor's sale rather than a retailer. Expect that prices for 50-90% less than the full membership retail.

6 Consignment shops. Did someone say, Salvation Army ? Okay, that's a little stretch. Your children will probably cry if you take them to a consignment shop, you can. More than likely, what you buy for your personal use. Use the savings to buy Nike shoes for your sophomore.

7 Tax Free weeks. If you live in an area with high sales taxes on clothing, wait for a special "tax-free week" to come to save money when buying. New York City, for example, is one of the cities with a tax free week. At 8.25%, this particularly high sales tax rate figures often causes people to flee the city and drive to New Jersey, where there is no tax on clothing. Save gas, tolls, and time and prop up your local economy through the waiting list for this special weeks.

There are other ways to help you save money school supplies including online shopping or by buying in bulk. Back to school should not mean back into debt , if you buy carefully and wisely.

The Key (A Fairytale) - The Final Chapter (Part 3) A Promise to Keep

"What now, my 'king'," he sarcastically me, his face expressing its obvious exasperation.

"I have rarely seen wisdom, and wondered what I should do?"

"The wisdom you have experienced and are now tell me is dead and gone. Do you see that? The truth can only be found in this moment. How many times must I repeat, please come here instead disturbs me by regurgitating all this deep reaching wisdom, you would be far better advised to stay in your room where you will see many more truths. Are you here because you are lonely? Do not allow yourself to become lonely, they will steal anything from you. Well, since this is our last meeting you are well advised to draw attention to what I am say.

"your marker on the mastery of the first two big weapons were concentration of mind and the investigation of your body and mind. Other indicators, your progress in the future livelihoods. As you know, an electricity supplier in the temporary rule bypasses the kingdom of heaven and back to Earth or a similar area not more than seven times in a human nature, physical form before them. Based on the experience of their internal work and the resulting wisdom, the electricity market participants will have seen by the belief in a permanent personality, have dismissed all doubts and skepticism, and will have thrown away every religious faith in the rules or rituals. He or she has seen for themselves that these three things can never be found at the moment, and reside only in the past to be considered dead thoughts, and concepts.

"The current moves on market participants to a once-returner, , have conquered almost sensual pleasure and anger. This is where you are, my friend, I kindly pointed out, eat your food! "

Weepasa spoke about the sensual pleasure, but I do not think that this is a problem. I have the feeling that I never conquer the anger, it was so much a part of me. It would be an unusual event for him to end forever.

"the once-Returner becomes a non-Returner, Weepasa continued," if he completely exhausted sensual pleasure and anger. You are in the immediate vicinity. Having overcome the first five hurdles, the Non-Proliferation Returner must triumph over the last five, which are extremely difficult to overcome. These are craving for existence in the world of pure form, desire for existence in the world of non-form, pastoral care Pride and self-righteousness, pastoral care restlessness, and egoism (I am an individual separate from reality). These barriers are subtle and cooperate in the highly refined level of an advanced nature, but they must be defeated. "

I understood Weepasa, from an intellectual level, in relation to these five advanced obstacles, but assumed it seems quite different to a highly developed enough really approach them.

" Once a key role seekers surmounts these hurdles and will become an important 'Cage', "he continued," life is experienced from a totally different angle. The inner work at the beginning with endless work to keep intruding thought, is now stable and effortlessly, a state of perfect natural existence. Well, one no longer feels a need to achieve something, because everything was done.

"It is no longer struggling a bit different than what you are - as an accepted and rejected nothing. It is unconditional, undirected attention from all come in the areas of body and mind, but the focus is a mirror with all being reflected rather than absorbed and understood by the Spirit, because the big "I", the self is now over. Now you are no longer, Not more ambitious, not more fighting, everything except you are, with no agenda, no fears, only to keep this last point, this last human form. The goal of goallessness has been reached. "

But I still have my goal, the key! How can I achieve my goal, without a goal? Or was this goal holds me back? "I was very confused - by my thoughts. Maybe that was what he tried to teach me.

Weepasa drove his hometown:" Remember, there is no "I" at the moment there is only ", which is . And although the illusion that "you" are in the moment with something else, it is not enough space for both "you" (the phenomenon) and "what" (Reality). It follows that 'man' must '. "THE moment you all," I am. "Can you not see? If solitude, loneliness is', 'it's the truth, it is the truth of the moment - and it is. It is not something that can be controlled or wished away, it is! No one is lonely, but someone is loneliness. If you accept this simple fact: "It is there,''I am that" They are never lonely again, it is simply connected to the loneliness with piercing awareness, and that 'you' there is not and can not be a target for the loneliness, it will disappear in the short term. You see, you will never found the truth. You can only find the errors - and when the errors detected, Reality find you.

"They have extraordinary experience, the Great Calms the investigation, which are milestones in your journey, but a journey, like the morning fog in the forest, clears slowly with the heat of the sun, always with a residual maturity patch here and there. You can not hurry the fog or try to blow it away, it dissipates when the time is ripe. Also your fog will dissipate. where patience is needed. "

The fog was clearing... Slowly. Now I better understood my feelings on the mountain when I was saddened by the fact that my horse would never hurt run again. There was sadness and the pain was real, it was the Truth, it was what it at this moment. But, "I" was the mourning. It was not the case "Me". It was me, or better said, "I" was the illusion that goes wrong in a little sadness that I thought I should be able to control. ME THAT, nothing else. So now I finally knew what John is trying to tell me my first lesson about the inner working so many years ago, I'm ! What an amazing was.

Weepasa then he gave me a fierce look, "Do you finally understand everything I explained it?"

I resigned nodded "Yes."

"The source is located in close proximity, and the key is within reach, "said Weepasa," but this is your last statement. Now it is up to you whether you kill the dragon. There are no further meetings. "

Death From the Hayloft ((Part Two, To - "There Was a Lady)(Story Three, to "Voices Out of Saigon"))

... From the hayloft

((Three-Story) (Part II))

Caroline, one day after their arrival back home from Saigon went to the barn, a barn now horseless, manless, Negro Less, and now children, an old lantern sat on the steps to the hayloft, they picked it up, lit it, it was dusk, in mid-November, 1972. For a moment she thought she saw old Josh Jr., and Langdon-'Geister ... perhaps, "muttered it so now she was having on those days when Josh Langdon taught how to ride bareback-taught how to mount Langdon how to shine the leather to the saddle, he was nine years old in the time.

She also recalled the day Josh informed them about the night Langdon came into the barn at 2:00 clock, Josh in thinking the time he was sleep walking, but far away. Josh Jefferson Jr., told her, says Caroline That night, a few things each year to make it interesting, Caroline thought, but it was the truth, it was just Josh not want to see them all at once, he had his reasons. They all had their reasons, what they did, and now she had come to the conclusion, then they have looked at hers.

She, it was a high roofed barn a large barn with a large hayloft, graer as she could remember, and perhaps had they are not taken notice of it for a spelling test. It was like a mausoleum, they wanted their hands on the men they loved her boys, her husband, and old Josh. And they all could do was talk to her .

The more they tried to understand the less they understand, where was the connection she felt was always there? It was over. "Here it is," she said, according to himself, "because it was over now!" Was

It everything is so strange to her, nobody expected that it happen that way.

The wind shutdown of the large barn doors, no sound from the misty darkness in the barn, the darkness beyond the light lamps. It was now, her mind was Now, compilation, pictures from that night, when Langdon came into the barn, asked Josh,

"I want to ride Dan, the old horse, no saddle or anything, I want him to ride around the barn, bareback. "

Josh looked at him strangely, the boy then said,

" Uncle Josh, teach me how to ride old Dan, I can not sleep, it's been in my eyes for a while now is the time I learn, I have him Since feeding the day I was born, I think now is the time to go, pa thinks I'm still too young, but I am not. I am nine years old. "

Josh looked on, all animals were waking up, the cow in the Corral, mules and horses in the barn, the stall next to Dan, all big eyes and sleepy-eyed awakening up.

" I suppose I have now teach Yaw, now that youall done woke up the whole darn barn, which pa ya goin 'to say if I told him? "

" But you will not I know. "Langdon exclaimed.

" How Yaw know that? "Replied Josh.

" cuz reckon I answered Langdon.

...!" "Well, youall know more than I do." And they both started laughing, and Josh got the horse, and Josh helped him, and Dan on the back, and Langdon rode the horse around the barn several times.

After the trip, Josh, old Dan back in his stall, standing by Langdon, and Dan begins to whine and pedals his hooves, like a mad bull.

"He like the mule, and you Langdon, and he is not goin 'back to sleep, yes" as you! "

Caroline changed some, and began to stare into the dark shadow, beyond the light, thinking what Josh had said, told her: Langdon, in Dan's hay barn, there was one hour, until he fell to sleep, thinking it was the thing to do the right Thing to do, how it was the right thing to do when he went back to Saigon to take care of his boys, got his child after he has borrowed from the army, Josue, marry and his Vang, indifferent and insensitive Vang, a, misled him, Jezebel, Delia that the more in his life one day, and causes so many waves within his family, they never really want to see the family (one iota of interest in them), never really with intent to marry him, never really want him to come looking for them in Saigon.

After Dan fell to sleep, even old Josh had fallen to sleep, the boy had then woke up and went back to his bed in the house, because Josh woke up when he was gone. And shortly afterwards, Josh fell back to sleep, and he said Caroline: the last thing he could remember, before he went to sleep, was that everything was noisy, and now daybreak had arrived.

Unhurried, Caroline was from the meeting of wooden staircase and daydreaming, which is top in the direction attic. She heard the sound of a hunting dog, they opened the barn door, and there was Tabasco, Langdon's dog, caked with mud. She had forgotten all the time about them, they disappeared six months to sometime when her husband died Cole. She brought with her dog in the house, gave him some beef jerky, and both went back to the barn to their memories, the dog to sit next to her, and reaffirm that he was really home.

She thought, gee the dog must They have lived the country all this time.

She could hear in the background, somewhere in the fields, a few other dogs yapping, under the moonlight, stray dogs, the dogs los people from their cars to run on farms, Sun they do not have to even more responsibility: one out of sight, out of mind thing.

She wanted to return to their daydreaming, she had some good memories, she was happy in peace, a very nice rest, she had swallowed, and they was not happy for a very long time, but she was happy now, very quiet, unhurried, the yapping of the dogs did not even bother her.

She lowered his head, it was nice to have a familiar face, she thought, even if is a dog. Tabasco sat close to Caroline's leg, perhaps feeling the warm blood, the smell of familiarity. Tabasco chewed away at the long thick piece of beef jerky, it was nice to be able to make them happy, Caroline thought it was a long time because they come from every happy.

She spoke with the dog,

"Do you remember old Josh Died he, like Cole, as well as Langdon, we are the only ones left. Sold the old cow and Dan also passed and sold the other horses. Never again someone's Tabasco for us. "

Tabasco Yelping

Caroline now thinking of Old Josh's bad habit of chewing tobacco and spitting it out. Then they looked at the dog-empty like.

"Have you no children Tabasco, you'll just be hurt. What do you think about all this? Josh, and Dan, and Langdon and Cole, and then there's me and you We survived them all. "(A rhetorical question, of course.)

The old dog said nothing, legs a bit weak, she was comfortable for the moment. Not even a bark. It has the character of Caroline just sat there, not a little woof or display of displeasure, just sat there chewing on the leather like piece of meat, happy to have it.

"Tabasco, that old man spat darn all that tobacco, all over the place. Oh, he would do it carefully, as not to bring it to the House carpets, I would not see it, but boys go to the Corral, and you step it as safe as it is cow dung. "

Then they laughed, and the dog looked like if a dog could smile, they recognized him as one, because they patted her on the head and said:

" They understand too well. "

" How stupid were two, Josh and Langdon, Langdon Cole never played with all that much, some football, he was always working hard so it seemed. "

She stand up, stand without a word, slowly, not to frighten the dog, without any change inflection.

"Oh," she said to the dog Shaggy, "you have to find a new home-pity, but I will not be here and everyone else is gone. You do not need my sympathy, you'll do just fine on their own , As you already have, "Sho!" She told the dog and the dog got up and went on a horse stands, Dan's old stall.

She was now on the dog, and they quickly fell to sleep: "I wonder what they are dreaming, Cole once told me dogs dream, and Josh confirmed it, something for the survival reasons, I believe, a primitive thing."

Now top of the attic, she took a long piece of wire rope stable , Tied to a four by four beams, and then put the noose around his neck and jumped from the edge of the gallery, Hung-

Hanging there her fingers made a final jerk and she said, whispered to himself, ' ; No time to hate, and her throat and nose holes made a sound, and she was dead.

Epitaph

When the dog woke up at dawn, the neighbors could hear the cries of the yapping dog, they left the stable, guarded the entrance to the barn , Waited until the neighbours came, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley. Idea-free profound urgency of the matter, it was noon before they arrived.

The Key (A Fairytale) Chapter 14 - Seven Days (Part 4)

"There is only one way that my training can be taken to heart," Weepasa warned, "and that is when attention is any continuous vigilance moment of every day. Do you understand what I just said? Vigilant Every moment of the day, first you'll feel lost and confused, because if your mind is not allowed to keep out what he observed, it will be very uncertain with only registration.

without awareness ", but not succumb to fear. Do not worry about your physical health either, if you are, you are constantly scheme to keep you safe, and this is being considered, and break your mindfulness. We must really be a fearless warrior to achieve the key for you can easily die from the effort here. But so be it. The effort will also in the next life. "

Weepasa just said that I could easily die from training with him here, I finally had to face it, it was time to decide whether I was prepared to risk everything. After all these years look inside, but had I wonder, is exactly that was, what is risk?

"Life is very short," added Weepasa. "If everything you do in this brief moment, we call a lifetime to save themselves constantly over and over again , You'll never face the ultimate challenge. Save for the future can be an ongoing delusion, when the future arrives, you will save yourself time and time again. Your pattern quit the habit is so deep that you create kamma, the propensity to save constantly, and therefore you'll never find the courage, on your "self.'

" Here you have the opportunity to break this pattern of many life times of fear, the fear of emptiness, but a man like you will never find its limits, until he goes. Do not stop midway, as you have done so many times in the past. For once in your life to seek to overcome your past kamma and go to finality without concern.

"Their training starts now. You must practice the work of the internal insight Every Waking Moment, to the dragon. Seven years unbroken mindfulness and the dragon in the hands. Never mind seven years - seven months of unbroken attention will reach your destination. In fact, if you maintain unbroken mindfulness here for only seven weeks, you can find your keys. disregard for seven weeks for you, seven days of unbroken attention and you will become a central keeper.

"You can ask a question."

The question arises spontaneously in my head, but he did not come from me. I could not tell where it came from: " Why help humanity, even if they do not have? "

Weepasa the immediate answer was, almost as if he expected the question:" Because humanity suffers. "And with this, the captain abandoned me off.

I left Weepasa Rooms with mixed feelings of fears and expectations. This is definitely the most intense thing I ever tried, for a still in the cave, I had some control. Well, I would not under control, but would undoubtedly remain completely free in my inner Work because the structure and support here. This was the master of insight that the sorcerer's apprentice had promised, and I knew that I was very close to the dragon of Atta. I do not fluctuate. How could it be difficult to full attention for a mere seven days!

I began the timetable and quickly discovered that the tax control was not easy. Because I had my life to control more than seventy years, but for some reason, my confidence in this teacher was unconditional, and I found that by following this extremely restrictive training of the mind, I could let go of my "self", piece by piece. I did this by being aware of every thought, pulse, as it emerged, as well as the physical and mental emotions feelings, and then released immediately.

I sat perfectly still while my inner work, not moving after I settled into my position. Any tendency to move was always preceded by a thought or physical sensation that I let go immediately therefore invalid, that the action would have normally followed. If I felt the inclination to move, I would release the slope. This has always mindful of all, the first contacts with my body or mind, contrary to so that I could see the suggestions clear and not so automatic and unconscious in my answers. If the body needs to relieve himself, I noticed the first sensation in the bladder and impetus to the development urinate.

I found that practicing internal work while walking was not much different sitting, except that when I was very careful when walking, the vigilance was even more refined, if later sitting. While the hiking trails, I have no case with someone, no discussion or search around, not even a sideways glance. That was very important, because I knew that only one minute conversation, a one-minute escape would ruin my attention by day - if not weeks. I went into a slow pace to normality by a End of the trail to the other with my arms are relaxed and my hands. I did not realise my attention to something as soon as the walk began. There was only the foot, so that my eyes two steps ahead on the way. With my Spirit aware and concentrated, I paid strict attention to the different sensations, which emerged, and then immediately released, as the feelings of Fae touching the ground, and the various joints moving.

In many ways I was wearing my own teachers, mentioning something about myself was to help me, or rather a "feel" in my heart. With the help of my years of internal work, it became known that I instinctively that this awareness has continued unabated. A glance away from my attention in my Practice would ruin on foot, and so I kept my focus intense, and remained in each moment as if I was on a high wire hundreds of Faen in the spirit air.

My fought every turn and tried to free itself from the restrictions of this intense internal work. seriousness doubt again, and memories of the past attacked me. I was well aware that these kinds of doubts and obstacles were only indicators that my spirit was noticeably wrong, and that the practice has always been effective, so that I do not fall victim to one of the beginners' error succumb to uncertainty and reverie. I knew that if I did yield to these things, Insight would finished.

I never tried to think, without being aware that I thought And Never talk to anyone. I was completely self-enclosed, and there was everything for me, I could simply follow the bells. A bell indicates that it was time to sit in my room and practice. Two bells practice meant to walk on the roads. Three bells announced the meal in the main building and four bells alerted me it was time to sleep, while five bells awoke me. My whole existence consisted of alternating periods of sitting, walking, eating at once Day, and four hours of sleep per night. This was my training - just after the bell and on a constant, wide open awareness.

There were worrying that things were not fully resolved in my head, and it irritates me. I have tried to just watch how thoughts, but they always returned, torture me every day. I knew that I need more help before my mind could relax enough to progress, so I see the danger, Weepasa again.

Have A systematic Plan

Be about your packaging, and you save time and avoid frayed nerves! Pack one room at a time, and the use of colored stickers for the identification of each room's boxes. A large marker pen is useful for the identification numbers in every field - a list of what is in each box on a piece of paper and keep them with you on the day.

Nostalgic Flashback Of The 1950s Era

Since I grew up in 1950-it is fun for me to think about some

the nice things during this era.

Drive in theatre

Known then as "passion pit" Drive in Theatres bring back

many happy memories!

My birthday is in July was the primary responsibility for the season Drive in

films. I urge all my friends about my celebrate

birthday complete with homemade sandwiches my mother's barbecue was my favorite.She it would rump roast into slices and then lay the meat in an electrical good, smothered in barbecue sauce. Shortly before dark we would all pile into the car and drive for the drive in. I still remember the break jingle "Let's all go to the lobby" with the hot dog, soda drinking and dancing popcorn on the screen.

the Drive in was the favorite place to go on a date and the after-effects

the show, we would go to the Steak n Shake for a hamburger,

fries.

At that time, you are in your car and your food was brought

. A tablet owner was on the driver-side window to the food. It was only brought to my attention by my teenage grandchildren that "Going Steady" is no longer used.

I asked them what do you call it now? They said only "go

out. "makes no sense for me, but that is how the times change. Back in the 50's and 60's, if you were" going steady ", the girl would be her friends ring to carry. There were always too big to fit, we would wrap the back with white tape association and then cover that with fuzzy angora yarn in different colors .. way too cool!

The only place you could buy the angora in my city was a

department store in the city, and I can still remember that they did

not have cash registers on the counter, but the office

would send your money through a vacuum tube, to top

the cashier. It was similar to the drive in

Bank tube that is used today.

rock n roll

The summer 1955 with Bill Haley's song "Rock Around the Clock"

changed the music we heard forever. I was addicted.

Then came Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, and

The rest is history. Every Saturday I would walk to the city centre

Lindstrom's record shop and listen to the latest hits and always

come home with at least one new 45th In my bedroom next to my bed

was my radio that I hear every night just to hear the

latest songs. Radio was back then and I am only in the night with

less interference in the airwaves I could a station

Little Rock was about 600 km from where I lived. The

commercial, that I will never forget, it was the White Rose

jelly. I was so excited the night I heard the song "Sea

Cruise "that I ran down to Lindstrom's to buy them only to find out

, it was not yet available.

My parents were not exactly rock n roll and would say, it sounds like

noise. However, they have "put up" with him and allowed me to play

my record player as loud as it would go was not very loud

compared to today's stereo equipment. Now we have a stereo

living room, a portable stereo in the garage complete with

subwoofer, subwoofer on our computers and a subwoofer in the

car. My love for music stayed with me and the music and

equipment to play them with only more better.

clothing
� Cuffed
Bobbie socks worn with suede "buckskin" shoes or saddle

shoes came in all color combinations and styles of light

weight to the original heavy Oxford in black and white.

The sleeves were always cuffed and rolled to the girl shortly

sleeve shirts, and ended with a scarf around his neck.

wool skirts with the length in the middle of the calf with a slit

in the back. The favorite hairstyles were pony tails, and

shoulder length hair, was rolled at the ends with bangs and

usually one page. Barrettes were often used as decoration and

to hold the hair away from face. The boys typical clothing

were cuffed blue jeans with legs, a T-shirt with sleeves rolled,

or a shirt with the back of the collar turned. It has contributed

various short hair styles range from butch to slightly

more Elvis-style, was combed back and held in place with

VO5 hair dressing in a duck or tail, DA, as it was called.

Going to Church On Easter Sunday was a sight to see! All

women and young girls (including me) wore a hat adorned with

artificial flowers with white gloves.

toys and hobbies

I was not much into dolls as a child, because I prefer to

or outside explore something with my hands. The only doll

that I did enjoy for a short time, the Ginny Doll,

hidden in a cupboard, complete with all the clothes,

accessories and furniture along with a Toni dolls still in the

original box almost untouched. The Toni doll was a Christmas gift

and I was apparently at the age that they simply do not interest me

much.

Easy Bake oven, there are already 50-plus years as I was there

for Christmas when I was 8 years old and had all

cake the first night. Needless to say, I got very sick later

this night!

One of my weekly stop the city was the local hobby shop,
� Paint sold
number of products. I sit on a desk in the

SUNROOM and paint for hours. I painted a black tole Trash

and Kleenex box holder that my mother received as a gift.
� In addition
sold magic tricks, fascinates me, and I would

magic shows at home on the piano bench with a black

antique crazy quilt. Two other toys I have good memories of was the Hula Hoop and the Slinky.

Burma Shave

The old motels are now a thing of the past have been replaced

travel hotels. More room in a smaller space, but not so

convenient than the motels, where you would park in front

your room.

If our family would take car trips, we would see the Burma Shave

signs along the road and read it is loaded, as we passed them.

Do not try PASSING, on a slope unless you have a periscope, Burma-SHAVE.

If computers came along 45 years earlier, I think my life would have been very different. Well, better late than never.

How to Avoid Quitting Your Family History Research - Trace Your Family Genealogy

Being able to get a new clue or a link in your family research are new signs of hope, finally tracking your family history. It is a common response to you the thrill of excitement, but sometimes you have to control your emotions for the possibilities of let downs. They could not despair and discourage you go with your family research. Things like these happen, probably more time than expected. Before you jump with joy better your cool and follow your new knowledge with more proofs.

Below are some theories that most people share and by the end quit because they do not have the ideas to find ways to further investigate and more. They rely on the data you have collected easily. If you simply have acquired some useful resources your family history, his wise, independent studies on the data you have in hand. In this way, you unlock the secrets of your family and the more research accurate.

Always check the number of marriage

Never concluded that the children have a common mother or father. If your search on the basis of the man's point of view, the children could come from other sources of women. It could come from this woman, or his wife sooner or even a woman after you have found. Remember that parents is one of the hardest things to be documented, unless you know. Woman died at birth all the time. It was not unusual for a man to have 2 or more wives.

If you can not find a marriage record to support your family from his research perhaps because these reasons:

- A large part The first marriages were not documented at the time of marriage. It could have taken 5 years or so before the marriage could be written down in a court building.

- Maybe there is not a court house or even a church, many of the early marriages took place in the home.

- Hundreds of records were burned during the Civil War War.

Expand your family history research and examine all possible turn of events in the past

Don't always assume that your ancestors came from the same state that their neighbors came from. Genealogy family includes ways of migration. In this case migration routes were essentially the same, but not every person follow the same route. You have the research further.

If you do not find your ancestors in the next census to collect and you assume it is because they are old and died, not simply assume. Yes, most people live, the normal life expectancy, but the people live on a much higher age also.

You need further research, look in the vicinity of their homes, as each of them named their children, and court records, if they witness each other documents.

Don 't assume that your Jr. has found exactly the same name as Sr. years, the words aunt, uncle, Jr., Sr., and cousin were also used when the individual was no relation, in other words, they were very loose. Example: You've noticed that the country records Jr. and Sr. listed, but these only 2 Men randomly the same name, so the distinction between the two, Jr. and Sr. used.

Do were not always assume that the name of an individual is a boy or girl's name. Parents sometimes just a name we liked and it sounds like a girl, but then it was a boy. Some names were originally years boys name, but now they are girls. Parents also named their children after a famous person or a long relative.

Don 't always assume that a woman with the same surname as her father is not married. Men marry women have had the same surname as they did. This happened a lot back if the budget were scattered far apart and relation lived fairly close together; distant cousins married cousins and distant cousin's uncle married or aunts.

Keep in mind that divorced women sometimes have their original names and Widows sometimes have same.

Don 't assume that your ancestors died in the same place he or she was never born and moved around. It was not uncommon for people to move their families many times, but as they get older, most of them back to live closer to their family. The best way to work on this is to create a time line and research many of the areas that they lived.

If your ancestors lived in a city or region and then they lose not only assume that they are up and moving. There are other reasons you may have lost. The district that your ancestors lived had broken into several districts, or they could live on the dividing line 2 counties. You have the research of the surrounding counties.

Being a genealogist and historian of the family, beliefs, what does the research, but you have to see how the trick and an assumption prove or disprove them with further evidence.

Who Designed the Deck of Cards?

A the card deck is everywhere. We see them wait in line at a supermarket, on a poster from the highway, in a magician's hand and even some children's books. The spades, diamonds, hearts, and Klee, together with the face cards with kings, queens and jacks are a familiar place for us all. But, came up with this and what do they mean? Why did they opt for the four forms and why all the face cards differently?

The four suits (spades, diamonds, hearts, and Klee) comes from France at about the 1480th The groundbreaking was copied from the leaf and acorn Club of suits by the German heart remained the same during the whole time, diamonds came from coins. Even in the 15th Century, Europeans face cards to represent members of license fees (kings, queens) and a servant, or knave that is now commonly known as Jack. Each of the face cards have their own unique name, not many people.

The King tickets are named after many great kings of the past. The king of spades is named after King David, King of hearts Charles, the king of diamonds, as Julius Caesar, and finally the king of clubs as Alexander the Great. The queen cards are named after the famous female personalities from both mythological and real history. The King of Spades has changed the name of Pallas, is the daughter of Triton and support of the parent company to Athena in Greek mythology, Queen of hearts as Judith, is to kill notorious Homofernes, Queen of diamonds, as Rachel, and the Queen of Clubs like Argine. Finally, the Knave or Jack cards are named after the famous right hand man for a king. Jack of spades is Ogier the Dane, a knight of Charlemagne, Jack of hearts as La Hire, a comrade of Jeanne d'Arc, Jack of diamonds as Hector of Troy, and finally jack of clubs as Lancelot from the Round Table of King Arthur.

Other designs such as the index in the corner enabled players to keep the cards in one hand, rather than two to the full picture of the card. The knave was originally indicated Kn but because it is similar to King's home so that they borrowed the term jack from the game to replace all fours knave in 1600, but it was once considered vulgar, the term Jack. The reversible court or face cards are made so that the players are not tempted to turn upside down the face cards right side up, hinting at what the other players that they have some kind of a face card in their hands .

People say that the card game holds religious, astronomical or metaphysical symbolism. Four colors than four seasons, 13 maps than 13 stages of the Asian cycle, red and black for day and night, 52 cards, as the number of weeks in a year, and with all the figures are added, resulting in 364 days to one year. Other nick-name for each card, as Beelzebub for spades and produce what is not. Now the next time you play cards with your friends, throw in some excitement by some of these terms should be fun and they bring a little fun at the table.

The Ghost Stalkers - (Part Two To "The Hermit's Ghostly Dilemma")

I remained there that night, Josh O'Hara's cabin in the Minnesota Wild (Hibbing), I could perhaps come to some conclusion, what has taken place, and I felt as the eerie night went on, death stalked it, I think the ghosts that he so willingly stalked they feared, yes, he had a good reason to fear, I was not to believe in its history in the first, I'm not a detective, I have, but they were out there in the dark as a breeding I was breathing, pace and in his log cabin, such insights, too late too often. And then I heard footsteps, especially with the light traces outside, my ears to hear such things trained for war, I could hear the grass is bent, as if with Faen and reminds me they were there, the Ghost stalking, and perhaps it They were also Josh residue spirit about them, because I heard his voice in agony Being Dead it meant nothing at this moment for me, I was shivering in the over-heated lodge my veins like ice, step by step, I heard the laughter Stalker, as spies, trapping a mouse that is how I felt that I think the mouse, she heard my breathing, it seemed, I went to the right side of the hut, the trail went outside the hut to the hut on my side, a network of vicious intrigue for them, for me, a desperate and dangerous game, I wanted to go. Why they simply will not come into the hut was, for me, maybe they were forbidden to entweihen, injured or with their malignant heart, the place of death, code perhaps among them, because they do not want their death beds dishonored, like, as I always say.

The deburring logs in the house of the dead Fae, I just wanted everything to end this terror, loose in the cabin, always out of it, from this night, never to forget this night it was tried all on my system, it was as if my immune system no longer hiding in the city, it was cascading from the inside out, in my opinion is empty, then I passed out.

(Twenty years later) Suddenly 2:00 AM It happens again, as it happens every night, every night has happened since that long night in the cabin in the woods Hibbing in Minnesota, at different times of course, since I spent that evening in Josh O'Hara ' s hut, the voices in the forest came back to me, come back to me, like wild flail through my head, it was a very gripping horror again, I can not tell you the whole history of this supernatural happens, no more than what you already know, fantastic as it is, but I have my ear that night, I think the spirits, slowly, very slowly during the course of this evening killed something in me. It is as I said, 2:00 AM, and I hear this incredibly exciting voices, and that was twenty years old, I was in O'Hara's hut, but I must stop this writing, I am tired, I need sleep, it is now 3:00 AM ... yes, it all begins again!

Part of either story (The Hermit) was written 4-18-2007; part two, was written (The Ghost Stalker) on 8 August 2008.

The Black Zone Horror (In Four Parts)

Part One

( "The Black Zone Horror ')

The Seatmate

(September, 2007) Juan Carlos Perez left Huancayo, Peru, high in the Andes, in the Mantaro Valley, after several days at a booth (stall) His aunt had set up at the San Jeronimo Festival of Avelinos. The twenty-two years old boy caught a bus with about forty passengers section of the Andean down, seven hours a night trip to Lima. He put his head on mobile phones, found a window seat in the Front of the bus and fell to sleep.

In La Oroya (about a third of the way to Lima, the bus' target), a miner City, Manuel Pablo Silva, had bought a ticket to Lima, and was a passenger, he sat on the back of the bus, his luggage under the seat, and sat back. Ricardo Vila and his wife, Maria, sat by him, he was quiet, but his reactions seemed somewhat robotic.

The bus' journey had begun at 1:00 clock, and got to La Oroya, at around 3:15 PM, where he stopped for ten minutes, and was now in Casapalca, a small village of miners high in the Andes, almost the highest point in the region. Here, the bus stopped to pick up more passengers, and most of all from the bus stretch, buy bread and other things for the long journey. In fact, Manuel had left the bus and was talking with one of the young woman he had seen on the bus, Ricardo and Maria nearby monitor, but not provided everything other was clumsy, or is cumbersome. Juan Carlos remained on the bus, tired from his long days of public participation in decision-making and sale of trout in the Fiesta, one of the areas renowned food. graten For the part of the young man remained, or continue to remain evident in its environment, and made no noise, therefore, most of the passengers figured he slept, and he was the best of Manuel's knowledge.

From outside, leaning against a Adobe (mud brick) Building, waiting for the driver to give the OK on board, Silva noted the rest reserved young man, peacefully in his sleep, and to start on the bus, he, Silva went back to his original place, and pulled out his bag looking as if it was filled with clothes and objects of the journey, and went to sit in the seat of the young man, the bag this time in the field of overhead luggage: and waited for the bus to go.

Someone had Ricardo's Seat, and so he and his wife held an opposite Manuel Pablo, thinking nothing of the fact that there is only one seat. Against Perez and Silva, was a young woman in her early twenties, they turned to the two , Smiled, she had talked to Silva for a moment, as they waited outside the bus, her name is Ana Maria Zevallos, they actually had a preference for the so-called minor.

((Interlude) (It was a kind of power , Took over Silva, his body seemed to change shape, rather like a robot than a man, like something from outer space; nothing from nature on the earth anyway, he was a devil in this moment, at this point, a precocious monster to give a terrible sight, in a way he wanted to draw all those people passengers, nameless passengers on the bus to his destination, for the purpose of his deeds, his Gore, in their memories forever, to him they were the outsiders .))

Silva up from his seat, nobody has really notice, but then he opened his bag, and drew a large butcher knife, an often used for cutting lambs and pigs and so on, especially at festivals. Ricardo Vila , Saw something metallic from his peripheral vision, and when he went to his head for a better view, Manuel Pablo Silva, had stabbed Juan Carlos in the chest, he moved back into his hard seat, put his arm above his wife , Woke them to Manuel then stabbed the young man over and over again, fast (Ricardo and quickly jumped to his wife moved from harms way), as the man continued to stab Juan Carlos Perez.

Ana Maria, heard a bloodcurdling sound behind her , The attacker came as a hissing sound, as if by a snake or rat, by Juan Carlos, a shallow and thin cry, like a whimpering, dying and cat, then louder tones came from the young man who sounds like a child cry the agony of a howling dog (the boy never know what really happened was what held his murder largely on the hand, in its raw form; Ana Maria had to choked in the scene and had made it back to an appreciable Steps away from the attacker, the bus in the direction of "driver.

The bus stopped, people began to move rapidly from the bus, not really know where they were somewhere between where they were and their current terminus, about an hour of Lima Someone said Morococha, a small village in the vicinity of, it was 7: 00 clock, and dark, and as a person after the other landed in peace with the bus, Manuel dug his knife deep in and around the neck, clavicle , Cutting through meat and spine that in connection with the neck and brain, cutting through his nervous system and soft tissues, decapitating the young man right there and then.

The bus driver tried, close to the attacker, but he quickly swung the knife his way He was now a madman looking for a flight route.

((Interlude) (We do not know what in the brain of a person next to us that the stranger, it is filled with superstitions, perhaps copies of some eternal evil spirit , At a time and place will hum to the brain to watch them on pain and damage to his will, these are the horrors of an earlier standing, beyond the date they own remains is the soul, that such persons can not Peep once, to see the shadow of the pre-existence, before it enters the core of the brain, hidden in some vault once it is not. And so it would seem, this was the case here, as strange and wrong and it seemed, and pointless.))

Now all were outside the bus, but each of the corpse and Manuel, Tempo, was back and forth on the bus, while a truck driver, the passengers wrenches and crowbars, to protect themselves, but how also to the killers at bay and on the bus. within an hour, several police cars were at the scene, and the media came by helicopter. Manuel tried to try to escape out of a broken window he broke, was the his horror, when he was subdued by several police officers.

((afterword) (Hey, Manuel, paused exhausted before he attempted his escape, breaking the bus window, exhausted, he saw the whole group of cars, and familiar passengers outside the bus, the media, in almost stunned: He knew what he was doing what he had done, he was the young man with his head in his hands, then put them back on the open neck cavity once in his /her Upper body, it was actually, he is scheduled meditated, was the weakest link in the chain, Juan Carlos, crystallized and its mission with the exact moment, without hesitation, by anointing him to be the victim, he would be fresh terror He has to do, he had until now been silent, spoke only in painful screams, while the murderer rambled, hissed like a snake, interrupted the whole bus. There was no twin brother here to say, "I did it, not him. The face , Now with red eyes, that half the face, the other half belonged to someone else, not the man. Strange gestures, summoning culminated in his pace back and forth on the bus, Aware of hiding, he was in an ultimate madness. Nobody dared is too close to him. But that was all, unless a syllable not everyone could understand that he said, it was as if he were the circulation of another language other than Spanish or English, and the deafening hisses, a shocking seemed to be ringing in his head, he considered it several times.))

Part Two

( "The Black Zone Horror ')

The trial by:

Silva

Manuel Manuel Pablo as his own lawyer, advocate, and addressing the jury, a retrial in his case.

(two years later) "It is true, I have received six stab wounds in my seatmate's chest to And the bus beheaded him, but I will show to the following statements I am not the murderer. You have given me a madman, but the jury never looked at the whole picture two years ago, now I hope they will. You have to Look at the horror that is in me, a father Bruni has now expelled from me, and this is the murderer.

"of the two years I spent in the sanitarium, weekly, the priest, Father Bruni looked at me, and worked with me liberate me from this ghastly creature which I was servant, and now I'm free from its infinity or credible doom.

"Therefore I urge you, during this retrial, not so much to Juan Carlos Perez, was the victim, It was revenge, twice over, because I have served two years in prison, and now this demonic force was in me, I can not enslave again.

The priest has in actuality, distributed this demonic force, and sentenced him back in a black zone, where he came from. I repeat: I personally was the instrument for the murder of Juan Carlos, but the strength in me was the murderer. In these words I was away from this horror, which used me to avenge mankind .

"You must understand, there are zones and black shade, close to all our daily activities, where the evil spirits lurking and seep into the search for bodies to operate in so that the evil spirit now has a passage, after he in his Victims, and a man, he works in the physical. In such cases, the person owns and has little to do with the billing or follow thereafter. He must follow and strike like a robot, so he himself is consumed by the diabolical phenomenal within him.

"Yes, it's morbid, but this evil spirit, in a withdrawn person who produces a continuous weakness in him, creates in time, living a secret between him and you. From time to time dismissed it as just your imagination, do you noticed bizarre behavior and thoughts, despite the graeren sense of right and wrong, they fall victim to him again, and in March to its melody, which came from the black zone, I am talking about, there was an opening for him, and he did, namely me. He can at this point even call you like, and I think that he really is. But he is really just an old subduer, crumbled, with its eons kind.

"His breathing into the deepest and darkest zones within your spirit, mind and soul, he is deceiving, and has essentially homesteaded your body, half - your and half of his, and he takes the protection of your half when aroused. He has delayed from its long existence uncoddled in a world where the black areas, the parallel ours.

"He knows the true code that you put it, and he did it to his advantage with me: the people of the Jury, I say with this dubious behavior, he used on me, place blame where it belongs, judge me not for this murder, and give it to him, because you have punished me, because it is not. "

The advise juries for eleven hours In as much as they wanted Manuel imprisoned, they believed, its history, and the father Bruni backed it up As a result, his case was dismissed something, he was left in the care of Father Bruni, and the probation department for the following five years, and should any criminal charges filed against him in the meantime, he would be in a third test, and most likely, the full crimes of murder and its consequences, but this time without insanity plea.

Part Three

( "The Black Zone Horror ')

Poetic justice or the Dirge

Manuel Pablo Silva, firmly believed he was dealing with an individual who once inhabited the world, long before mankind, a race you could say, another Era, among pseudomemories (and secrets to him by a supernatural race, even more powerful than his), at a time inhabited the earth, and they lost by outlawed, and cast into this so-called black zone.

With Manuel within this company, it is obvious that he wanted a priority shows the power, all demonic imps or vicious, evil spirits want, but during the interim phase, they go in search window, creeping see, the most vulnerable, the weakest ling in the chain, this was how they discovered Manuel.

It is often funny, but I think for every man lives, There is obviously a woman, no matter how strange, ugly or bloodthirsty man may be. And Manuel noted that this beautiful girl Argentine him to keep in Miraflores, a section in Lima. And they saw a lot from each other for several months. But there was something, she got pregnant, and she got scared Manuel could tell their parents. Not a real good reason to do what they do, but often times our selections as to like, which means you do not need a mate out that would be good for you, but a suite Lust, and that is what Manual did, grabbed on to his delight, like two peas in the pod. And when he slept, he was stabbed to death by his new girlfriend, they cut up his body, put the parts in a suitcase and went downtown Lima, the River Rimac, and left the suitcase there until they stunk to the high heavens.

Part Four

( "The Black Zone Horror ')

The priests and the Entity

He, manual, the priest during one of their meetings, before he was killed, told him, Bruni, his strange dreams, more on the order of pseudomemories its unity. These dreams were extracted by the company within him, told him he come from the Paleozoic age, and had hidden in underground chambers in the whole world, for 125,000 years, where he lived under the cyclopean masonry, and megalithic Walls, had sunk with the many earthquakes throughout history.

Through his dreams, the company explored its way with manual, he was in the same objective reality, deeper and deeper into the crust of earth.

Around this time the company got curious, 'Manual prevailed and insomnia caused by the demon, and next came impulses in his brain, the company knew how to shut it down, almost like a tenant evacuation of the premises, and the black zone, its horrors, over.

Concept Development in Children Part 2 - What to Do When Concepts Are Slower to Develop

Teach the basics. That is the really important thing. If your child has not yet developed the concept of sounds together, to speak and can not even seem to hear the sounds within a word, you focus on it with the basic tools that they can use if the concept does develop .

Teach individual sounds of the alphabet (please teach them to write Q as "qu"). This means teaching the sounds are not the names of the sounds. If they watch Sesame Street, then hear the names of the sounds. It is important that they recognize that each sound has a name and a solid, but it is the sounds that we use when sounding out words. The vowels a, e, i, o, u are the exception. It is in order at this time to teach her that the sounds are formed into two groups - consonants and vowels. Against the oblivion of the vowels I often with this sentence - AE IOU $ 5 (Ay EI Du Owe $ 5) .

As you teaching her the sounds, they begin to teach simple words on flash cards. As you teach each, sound it out for them. It is great if they can learn the sounds for example. run = R-U-n. If the concept clicks in, then all these great behind her information on the use of the term immediately, and they will feel so CLEVER.

At at the same time to teach, write each sound. Please make sure that it is their letters in the right way. If the letters, it is important that they start at the right point and finish at the right point. First, it is clear to read. Secondly, if it does not do this, it will have to relearn the right method for forming the letter before they can progress to write in italics. Letters together only one way and if it's not begin and end it in the right place, they are not in a position to the letters together ordnungsgema later on.

In learning to write the sounds, by the repetition the supervision of the practice is the key. Immediate feedback for the child is essential to correct any errors, including children, before they become habit. Many children will want to write their letters in the way is the easiest way for them. You do not see the value of doing it in a special way. As long as it looks right at the end, they see no problem.

The intervention, as it's writing the sound. If it's not carefully observed during their practice, they may again, was the easiest for them. When the corrected later, three problems. It is often no way to tell which way the letters were. Each time, if the student forms of the letters the wrong way, that habit will be stronger and harder to break. The student feel that they wrongly punished if it has a recasting of lesson.

Once this is done, progress in the transmission of sound from more than one letter, like the "above" boat, the 'ay 'Days time, "ai" in e-mails, etc. As you teach this, the introduction of three or four-letter words, these sounds. On cards, write the word and underline the diagraph (Sounds of more than one letter) so that they learn to see the diagraph like a sound. You will get used to the appearance of sound, and it will help later with spelling.

Lastly if you read books to her, make sure they can see the page and how to read, follow the words with your finger . It will help her to realize that the stories are made by words. This is another concept that needs to develop.

I hope not too much information at once. One need only go one step at a time. It is important that both you and your students are relaxed. If you are uptight, it is so good and it is greatly limit their ability to exchange information. If the atmosphere is tense, with a break. Obtain the e-mail, have a snack, play with the dog for five minutes - everything that situation.

Don 't push if they are really angry because they do not understand -- Parents know the characters with their own child. To do something else and come back to, especially if you feel that they deal with him again. Insert it until the next day or the day after, if necessary. There is no rush.

One last point. Make jokes, things to say outrageous, had a good laugh. Laughter is a great relaxer and when your student is relaxed, your mind is open to learning. In addition, it helps to look forward to the times. Try to lay down the time to give it your full attention. Make it your special time together and between teaching certain things have little chats with her about her day. Tell her that something has happened. It is a great opportunity to bond.

Partition of India (Formation of Pakistan)

Partition of India At midnight on 14 August 1947 the British Raj came to an end. On the same day Pakistan was born, carved from the Punjab and Bengal. Sir Cyril Radcliffe, the actual carving in five weeks, and the markings on the map called Radcliffe Boundary Award. The division led to an unprecedented transfer of population and ten milltion rendered homeless. Estimated that twenty million Hindus left Punjab and East-West Bengal, and eighteen million Muslims went to Pakistan. As part of this mass movement, more than half a million people lost their lives, there were 22000 reported cases of rape and abduction of women, 220000 people were reported missing. And of course the data, which is officially here. It is difficult to estimate the actual numbers.

Two even for countries that are rechtmaig came into existence on strike midnight on 14-15 August 1947. The ceremonies for the transfer of power, there was one day earlier in Karachi, at the time the new state capital of Pakistan, so that the last British viceroy, Louis Mountbatten, to attend the ceremony in Karachi and the ceremony in Delhi. Pakistan celebrates Independence Day on 14 August, while India celebrates it on 15 August.

Mountbatten Plan

The actual allocation between the two new dominions was after what came with the name 3 June plan or Mountbatten Plan.

The border between India and Pakistan was by a British government report on behalf of the so-called rule Radcliffe Award after the London lawyer, Sir Cyril Radcliffe, "he wrote. Pakistan emerged with two non-contiguous enclaves, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and West Pakistan, separated from India. India emerged from the Hindu-majority regions of the colony, and Pakistan by the Muslim majority areas.

On 18th July 1947, the British Parliament the Indian Independence Act finalized, that the partition agreement. The Government of India Act 1935 has been adjusted to a legal framework for the two new dominions. After partition, Pakistan was a new member of the United Nations, the European Union from the combination of Hindu States assumed the name of India granted automatically to the seat of British India as a successor state.

The 565 princely states were given the choice of a country join.

to prospects

The partition was a highly controversial scheme, remains a cause of much tension on the subcontinent today. British viceroy Louis Mountbatten was not only accused of rushing through the process, but also is alleged to have have an impact on the Radcliffe Awards in favor of India since everyone agrees India would be desirable, more land for most. However, the Commission so long to decide on a final border that the two nations received their independence, even before it a defined boundary between them. Even then, the members were so desperate they are to work (and whose results) rejected that they are a compensation for their time on the commission.

Some critics argue that the British haste led to the atrocities of the partition. Since independence was declared before the actual partition, it was up to the new governments of India and Pakistan to public order. No large population movements have been informed, the plan called for guarantees for minorities on both sides of the new state. It was an impossible task in which both countries have failed. It was a complete collapse of law and order, many died in riots, massacres, or simply from the need for their flight to safety. What followed was one of the graten population movements in history. According to Richard Symonds "at the lowest estimate, half a million people lost and twelve million were made homeless."

However, some argue that the British were forced to the partition of the events on the ground. Law and order had broken down many times before partition, with much bloodshed on both sides. A massive civil war was imminent by the time Viceroy Mountbatten. After the Second World War, Britain has limited resources, perhaps enough to do the job. Another view is that while Mountbatten May, he had to hastily no real options left and he made the best he could under difficult circumstances. Historian James Lawrence agreed that in 1947 Mounbatten had no other choice than to cut and run. The alternative will be in a potentially bloody civil war from which it would be difficult to out.

Some have argued that a large part of the blame for the massacres lies with Indian nationalists like Gandhi and /or Jinnah.

Can You Learn to Read Tarot Cards?

Reading Tarot cards is a talent like singing. Everyone has the ability to sing on one level. Some people are so talented as opera singers, some can only be a tune. There is no mystery. It is a skill can improve on, and it is very similar paraphrasing.

Remember if you saw a great movie or read a book? You just had to tell your best friend all about it, but it did not. So, what did you do? They paraphrased. She knew that it was the intention of the author, you knew what it was like him to read or watch. Then you only had to convey it to somebody else.

Reading the tarot is a lot like that. They know the importance of maps. You understand what the various positions mean. Then you describe what you see. The more you do it, the better you will. Just as singing.

Even more like singing, you can find the time that you begin to improvise. Improvisation is a lot of twists and turns, and so can your readings. The last time you may have looked that five of the swords They realized that it meant that it wait 5 months. The next time you looked at him, you hear the words "not five!" in your head, and they realized how many days a week, a client should focus on work.

Reading Tarot cards is not a one-way street. You can not read your own cards, and you can not learn what they really mean, without reading of another person. If you are at the top of your search to learn how to read the Tarot, find a few friends, let them read. Do not read more than twice a month for everyone, as the readings are unclear. This applies whether you are a beginner or professional. Have your notes friend and a report on the various events talked about with your him.

There is another aspect of reading this is very crucial. You have to try different Tarot deck to find the work best for you. There are a lot of Mumbo Jumbo outside to let others do not touch your deck, but that's just superstition. If you are unable to buy a dozen decks to try to find out whether you can get a deck of a friend. Like everything you borrow, take care of him, and send it immediately. The magic is in the respect you have for your friends and their possessions.

Eventually, through practice, get feedback from your friends and try different decks, you will be comfortable reading tarot cards. Keep it. Have fun with it. At the end you will never benefit you imagine!
