How to Get an "A" on any Paper

School is hard enough without having to write a flawless paper. With all of the homework and busy work that professors are having students do today, it's a wonder that anyone can get papers done at all. Nevermind an "A" paper. Especially if you're a foreign student and English is a second language to you.

However, there's a cool new service that I found recently that will help you get that "A", aplusedit.com. They edit everything from school papers to websites to books! The great thing is that it's really affordable too. They do a full edit of your paper. This includes spelling, grammar, how the paper flows, and your format too. It' super comprehensive. You can even tell them when you need it done by and pay accordingly. So if you need your paper turned in by the next day, they can get it done.

I've seen similar services out there like this before, but they've been a little pricey. That's why I had to do all of my papers before without a professional editor looking over it. Now it's a different story! Just go to aplusedit.com to get the full scope of what I'm talking about. Good luck to you on the rest of your papers. You definitely won't need it with this service!

How to Shave Pounds FAST: Part 1

If you look at the US and compare it to the rest of the world, we eat incredibly unhealthy. What the government allows food companies to make for us to consume is a crime. While other countries are banning processed, genetically modified, and other types of foods with additives, the US is supporting and pushing these types of foods.

Knowing this, it's pretty easy to lose weight quickly. Part 1 of the Shaving Pounds program is to cut out unnecessary drinks. These include sodas (even zero sodas), energy drinks, fruit juice drinks, tea and coffee.

Some of these may seem self evident, but what about the others? I'll list out the reasons why each of these are contributing to your weight gain.

Soda - It's full of sugar, not to mention a load of other stuff that's hard for your body to digest and deal with. If there's no sugar, then there's a substitute like aspartame which is even worse for you.

Energy Drinks - Again, sugar is high in these, not to mention the huge amount of caffeine. Both of these contribute to weight gain.

Fruit Juice Drinks - This is pretty much the same reason as the others...sugar. Granted there are some vitamin and mineral benefits to them, but they are incredibly high in sugar. Whatever your body doesn't need in sugar will go straight into fat.

Tea & Coffee - This is the same reason as energy drinks. The caffeine content is really high. There's actually a substance in it called CGA which is the main culprit.

So there are the things to cut out of your diet if you want to lose a quick bit of weight. It will also make a huge difference in how you feel every day. You'll actually have more energy when you're not consuming these drinks.

Be forewarned that most people do have a withdrawal period from many of these drinks. Great replacements for these are water, herbal teas, and water kefir. Let me know how it's worked for you!

Weightloss Secrets

So I've known many people throughout my life who struggle with losing weight. Those I've known have tried seemingly everything from low calorie diets, HCG, weight watchers, to Jenny Craig. The funny thing about all of them have been that they have had initial success, but then put the weight back on rather quickly after the diet was done.

The reason is that diets don't work! There are, however, some secrets to weight loss that most don't know or understand. You can thank all of the media and lobbying by food companies for that. In an e-book called "Weightloss Simplified" there are some amazing truths about weightloss uncovered. It can be ordered at the site store and is definitely worth the read.

In it there are not only nutritional tips, but also an exercise program that will get you started on your way to being the healthy person you've always wanted to be. The best thing is that it's risk free. It's backed by a 30 day money back guarantee, so if you don't like it or whatever, you get your money back. There's also lists of food that are great to help in various areas of your nutrition habits. Give it a go and see how it works for you.

How to Easily Hit out of the Rough

Many of us probably struggle with being in the rough a bit. If you've ever noticed, those types of shots are much different than fairway or even sand shots. The rough grabs the club, slowing your swing down and actually turning your club in the process. So a well hit ball often goes the wrong way! Here's a great video that gives three easy tips to get out of the rough successfully.

How to Fix Your Slice and Hit Straight

So most golfers worst enemy is the slice with a driver off of the tee. You know, those of us who are scared that we're going to smash through the window of someone's house on the right side of the fairway.

Most of us know how to line up the drive, making sure that the line from the tips of your shoes is pointing right down the middle of the fairway. The part that often throws people off though is how to turn with the club and make solid contact with the ball.

Even if you don't tend to slice the ball bad, most golfers will at least have a minor slice that still goes off of their original line to the right. That can often lead to being in a sand trap or in the deep stuff (hopefully not behind a tree or rock). The good news is that with a little correction and practice, you can fix your slice and start to find the fairway everytime!

Rickie Fowler and Butch Harmon give some great tips to help straighten the swing out in this video.

Good luck out there and keep 'em straight!

Best way to get Soft Feet!

Have you ever used those manual foot files that for removing dead, dry, callused skin? If so, can you recall the crazy amount of work you had to put into it just to get the skin off? I think it qualified as a workout of its own! It seems that those were the only real solution to the never ending callus and dead skin problem, but not anymore.

As I was perusing the internet, I found an amazing product that will remove the calluses and dead skin off your feet with hardly any effort. Remembering all of the back breaking work it was to use a manual foot file, I decided to try it out and see if it worked. The results were amazing! At the end of the session, my feet were completely smooth! I didn’t even have to break a sweat or take Advil for tennis elbow! It was easy to use and effortless. I wished that I had found this earlier!
Another great thing about it was that I got it on Amazon for less than I had seen in stores and other websites. The reviews helped me build my confidence that it was a quality product too. The shipment was quick and the whole process was easy.
I’m so grateful for this little device! I can’t even imagine myself going back to using a manual foot file again! Compared to the electric callus remover, that foot file seems like dial up internet!

How to Make a Mug Out of Clay

These are the steps for making a handmade mug out of clay. That means you won't need a pottery wheel!

Step 1: Get about a softball size lump of clay and wedge it. This will make the moisture equal throughout the clay as well as rid the clay of any air pockets.
Step 2: Flatten the clay to about 1/2" to 3/4". This is done by slamming the clay horizontally on the table at an angle, so don't throw it straight down on the table. Make it come slightly toward you.
Step 3: Place the clay on a canvas cloth. If you have access to a slabroller, a press for clay, use that to flatten the clay out. If you don't have access to one, just use a rolling pin.
Step 4: After you take it out of the slabroller, you'll need to flatten it out a little bit more with a rolling pin. The side that was hit by the slabroller first will be more compact than the rest of the clay, so you want to get it equal.
Step 5: Now you need to cut out the desired size of your mug. In order to do this, it is best to make a template out of a thicker paper (e.g., poster board). Find a piece of pvc pipe that is a good size for your mug and wrap the poster board around that, leaving about 1/2" of space from the top. Allow it to overlap about 3/4".
Cutting out the design is done best by placing the template on the clay and cutting it out with a needle knife. Remove the excess clay and place it in a plastic bag or with your other clay.
Step 6: Remove the template and smooth the top edge of the clay by folding the cloth that it is on over top of it, pulling gently. You want this smooth or else you will cut your lip of the rim of the mug.
Step 7: Now it's time to design the mug. You can do this with stamps, pencils, or other designing tools. Have fun with it!
Step 8: Next, get half a sheet of newspaper and wrap it around your pvc pipe. Tuck in the top and bottom edges.
Step 9: Flip the clay over by placing another canvas cloth on top and flipping the clay onto the new piece of canvas. After that's done, wet one edge of the clay. This edge will be the edge that overlaps the opposite end of the clay.
Step 10: Place the pvc pipe on top of the clay, lining up the bottom of the clay to one of the edges of the pvc pipe. Gently roll the clay around the pvc pipe. When it overlaps itself, place your hand inside the pvc pipe and and gently press down and roll the overlapped portion of the clay.

Now it's time to make the bottom of the mug.
Step 1: Repeat steps 1-4 above.
Step 2: Place the pvc with the clay around it on top of the new slab of clay.
Step 3: With a needle knife, cut around the pvc pipe, leaving about 1/8" of clay around the base.
Step 4: Gently press down on the top of the pvc pipe to get it to stick to the bottom. Place your hand inside the pvc pipe and roll the mug at a 45 degree angle, then roll it on its side.

The mug is now pretty much made, except for the handle.
Step 1: Wedge the clay
Step 2: Shape it into a teardrop using mostly the palm of your hand. This takes some time to learn, so don't get upset if you don't get it the first time.
Step 3: Similar to the flattening of the other clay, flatten one side of the handle by holding both ends and throwing it down on the table toward you.
Step 4: Remove the excess clay from the top and bottom of the handle with a needle knife. The top piece should be cut at an angle moving toward the top of the handle. This gives it a larger area to mount against the mug.
Step 5: Make a design on the handle if you want.
Step 6: Place some water on the edges that you cut on the handle. Also place water on the spots where the handle will attach to the mug. This can be done with a paintbrush or your finger. Now just attach the handle, making sure it is secure to the mug.
Step 7: Let it set up for 20-30 minutes and then remove the pvc pipe from the center of the mug. It should just slide right out.

Once you do that, let the mug dry and then fire it. You'll have a beautiful handmade mug!
