A Life of Adventure

Due to the warm tropical weather, beautiful beaches, and amazing all-inclusive resorts, the Caribbean is often known as the perfect location for destination weddings and romantic getaways. Yes, this is true, but the Caribbean has much more to offer. The Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, and Jamaica are perfect for any type of travel, including vacations for singles. So, if you have a group of single friends and want to plan an amazing trip together, the Caribbean is the perfect destination.

Once you decide to plan a singles vacation to the Caribbean, you must choose a location. As previously stated, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas all come highly rated and recommended. Your choice should be based on your own personal preference. Why? Because no matter where you go, you will find beautiful beaches, tropical weather, luxury all-inclusive resorts, many activities, and amazing attractions.

Since the Caribbean is known for its all-inclusive resorts, your group should consider staying at one. Why? All-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic, as well as other areas of the Caribbean, have many benefits. The biggest is ease of planning. Including your airline reservations in with your Caribbean travel package is optional, but recommended. If you do so, one travel arrangement preplans and prepays for most of your trip. Your all-inclusive vacation package includes your room, airline reservations, qualifying airport transfers, food, drinks, tips, and some forms of onsite entertainment.

If you and your group of friends are single, you may be worried about costs. After all, there is one person paying bills, such as rent or mortgage, car payments, and so forth. Some individuals in your group may be leery of Caribbean all-inclusive resorts and travel packages. Yes, you will pay more money upfront, but you get a better value for your money in the end. As previously stated, your travel package will include airline tickets, room, food, drinks, tips, qualifying airport transfers, and onsite entertainment. Once again, this reverts back to no worries. Most of the trip is prepaid for. Unless you venture offsite or make use of resort extras, like a spa massage, no other money is needed.

If you like the worry-free trip you get with an all-inclusive resort and travel package, it is time to make your choice. Many all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, including resorts in the Dominican Republic and resorts in Jamaica, cater to tourists. You might even call them themed resorts. For example, a popular resort brand in Jamaica is Star Fish resorts. These resorts are open to guests of all ages, but they cater to families. There are playgrounds for children, kid-sized swimming pools, childcare services, and more. Since you are a group of singles planning an adult vacation, you should opt for adult only resorts. These resorts tend to prohibit children under the ages of 14, 16, or 18 from staying onsite. This allows you and your group of friends to relax, unwind, let loose, and have a carefree trip.

Once you have officially decided to stay at an all-inclusive Caribbean resort and selected your favorite resort, it is time to book your travel arrangements. Since you are taking a singles vacation with friends, this must be done as a group. If each individual member of your traveling party made their travel plans independently, everyone would end up with a room. You should not need this. On average, most all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica and other areas of the Caribbean allow a maximum of three guests in a standard room. Unless your traveling party upgrades to a suite, divide the group into threes. Have one person make the reservation and then spilt the costs evenly to share the price.

Once your travel arrangements have been made and all travelers have a valid passport, you might assume that all that is left is to wait. Instead, take the time to research the Caribbean destination of your choice, like Jamaica, and your all-inclusive resort. Since your travel package includes some forms of onsite entertainment and activities, familiarize yourself with them. Before arriving at your all-inclusive resort in Jamaica, know what activities you can participate in without paying extra. If you wish to venture off the resort grounds and explore, familiarize yourself with local attractions and their admission fees. You can get started with a standard internet search on Yahoo or Google.

When I was nineteen years old I was doing some research in the area of “out of body experiences”, and at that time I did experience what is commonly known as the “classic out of body experience”! (I would go on to have many more of them over the next ten years of my life!)

In my early twenties I further developed my interest in Psychology and the Human Sciences, and I developed an especial interest in the paranormal, ghosts, and later the occult sciences. I was curious as to the reality of spirits, spells, and magickal powers! I went on to study some of the Western Traditions of Ritual and Ceremonial Magick, Enlightenment, Mysticism, Religion, Eastern philosophies (including Yoga), and other “so called” ancient philosophies and practices, including Wicca, and/or “witchcraft”. Yes, even Voodoo was on my list of studies! I then and still maintain a genuine curiosity and/or fascination as to the reality of these “so called” unexplained phenomenon!

I was a member at one time or another of several different organizations such as the A.M.O.R.C., the A.A., and even O.T.O.! I wrote to and was answered by several different popular writers of the time on occult subjects; writers such as Donald Michael Kraig, Ted Andrews, and Gerald and Betty Schueler. I also pursued a degree in Psychology so that I could eventually work in either the field of Psychotherapy or Parapsychology!

My interest in ghosts came about while I was even younger, some time before my above mentioned interests came about. My interests in ghosts phased out as my interests turned to the paranormal, the Divine Mysteries, God, Religion, the Occult, Magick, and other documented human and spiritual powers. My conclusions, at that time, as regards ghosts, and “so called” pictures and videos of ghosts, was that it was at least possible for the human soul to remain here after death, in some visible form, and either haunt or communicate with us as all as good ghosts do!!! But? My research with certain occult practices, Yoga, meditation, and human and spiritual development proved to be far more interesting!

Nowadays I am somewhat convinced as to the reality of certain occult practices, and to things like Astrology, Tarot Card reading, and other forms of divination. I do not lend much credibility these days to ghost pictures and ghost videos in general! My feeling, ultimately, is that people do not hang around in some form or another upon their death, and if there is anything to paranormal disturbances or ghosts they would be better explained as either the mind itself – hallucinations, temporary delusions, etc. – or, simply “unexplained phenomenon”. Some of the better occult literature I have read refer to ghosts as being “shells of the dead” – i.e., a “leftover energy form of some sort that does not possess consciousness in itself!” Perhaps? To this day, no one really knows for sure!

Of course, such a question as to the reality of ghosts also brings up also the whole subject of the afterlife itself, and since that has proven to also be improvable, the only thing we have to go on as regards ghosts are the photos and videos that people manage to capture. That is, in many respects, going on “a person’s word”, and is not scientific enough to amount to any sort of proof as to the reality of ghosts and/or spirits.

Ghost pictures and ghost videos, in my opinion, are mostly either a hoax, a brain malfunction, or even a technical malfunction of some sort. How come is it that there is still so much controversy on the subject? That is because the “so called” proof has not yet convinced us all? It is something that has been reported for thousands of years, and even with all of the footage and writings out there, no one is still really sure? Still, I, like many others out there, long for an explainable answer to the often eerie images we see in pictures and video footage of ghosts. Often, people even close to us claim to have had an unexplainable and often frightening encounter with the unknown!

Things like God, the Devil, and everything in between, has fascinated me for a long time. How about Tarot Cards, and who is Aleister Crowley, and how is Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin involved in all of this? READ ON…let me share with you some of my own adventures into the world of the unexplained, Magick, Mysticism, Yoga, Enlightenment, and Aleister Crowley; take a step into the real world of Astrology, the Tarot, Magick, Miracles, Peace, and Enlightenment!!!

About a year after I myself began experimenting with “out-of-body experiences” I became interested in a famous writer, occultist, and magician named Aleister Crowley. I sought to purchase every book that I could find by Aleister Crowley, and I also joined an Order practicing the Western Tradition of Magick called the Hermetic Society of the Golden Dawn. I later also became a member of Aleister Crowley’s own Magickal Order, the Astrum Argentum, A.A., or Order of the Silver Star. This Order is still in existence today, and still maintains a great amount of secrecy in order to better preserve the heart of the Order’s teachings. I was also scheduled to attend a feast and an initiation into the Order of Ordo Templi Orientis, or O.T.O. (Aleister Crowley later became a prominent figure head within this Order.)

As part of my studies, practices, and training, I learned something about ancient languages, practices in numerology, and I learned the “initiated” meanings of various occult symbols, astrological symbols, and religious symbols. I learned how to develop heightened awareness, focus, self-discipline, and concentration through the practice of certain observances and the practice of ritual magick. I also learned the art of divination, and Cartomancy – how to read Tarot Cards. (I believe that I may have been born with a psychic gift or a bizarre talent with the Tarot, and my own personal experiences and abilities with the Tarot have remained to this day unexplainable even to me; I always lay out an accurate reading, no matter what the object or subject of the divination is. I can only demonstrate this psychic ability with Tarot Cards!

My mother has had a couple of “prophetic” dreams that she shared with me once. In accordance with some traditions, I may have inherited the ability from her – for her, prophecy comes in the form of a dream, and for me it is demonstrated in the practice of reading Tarot Cards.!I have also experimented with pendulum dowsing and obtained “remarkably inaccurate results” – so astonishingly incorrect as to suggest psychic ability, but at the same time so undependable that I left my studies with pendulum dowsing to pursue my practice with the Tarot.

Reading Tarot Cards takes years to learn how to do correctly because of the complexity of the symbolism involved; the individual meanings of each of the seventy-eight cards, and the individual meanings of each of the positions, depending upon which layout method, or methods, you are utilizing Repetition, practice, and experience count for everything! The symbolism is deep and at times quite obscure – mastery also depends, theoretically, on a “psychic gift”. I can demonstrate extraordinary abilities with the Tarot, and I have done so for more than fifteen years. I want to write a small, practical book on how to learn and practice the Art correctly, and how to gauge your own progress in a scientific manner! I will make this book available through Green Planet Fantasy Theater and/or Green Planet Fantasy Malls!

Reading Tarot Cards is something that I know a lot about, and I am very well versed in other religious and mystical studies and practices in the occult sciences. I do not personally believe in a “Devil” or demons as some people believe, nor do I understand God to be as “personal of a person” as people sometimes portray Him, or think about Him. For the most part, occult practices have more to do with cultivating self-discipline, focus, concentration, self-healing, physical and emotional healing, and later even learning to heal and/or help others. There are exercises in fitness, Yoga, breathing, and meditation. And, yes, there are the practices of invoking and evoking forces, ritual, and prayer, working miracles, and divination. In some of these areas there is perhaps a lot of rubbish as far as writings and teachings go, but there also writings and practices that are gems; teachings and understandings that anyone can benefit from. True practice of the occult sciences is to initiate you to a path of self-understanding, self acceptance, self-discipline, and study! It is to place yourself onto the Path that eventually leads you to YOU, to Love, Peace, Strength, Honor, and Devotion; the One, True Path that brings us closer to ourselves, and to God, and teaches us to be more “Christ” like! This Path is as unique as each individual is, but the method of approach is very much the same for all, according to the traditions I, myself, am well versed in!

At least some people have heard of the infamous Aleister Crowley, and perhaps even the infamous “Aleister Crowley Castle”. Aleister Crowley was a famous writer who flourished around the turn of the century. He was also a world record holder in the sport of mountain climbing (climbing at least Kanchenjunga, and K-2, two of the tallest mountains in the world.) He was also world class chess player, and a big game hunter. He traveled the world, was wealthy for a time being, studied heavily in the occult sciences, as well as in other world religions, was often referred to as being a genius, and was once even kicked out of Italy by none other than Mussolini himself. Many know of him only because he was once hailed to be “the wickedest man in the world” in the tabloids of the 1940′s!

The “Aleister Crowley Castle” is not really a castle at all…see my pic at the bottom of this page! Most people who have heard of the infamous “Aleister Crowley Castle” have heard about it because it is now owned by the famous rock guitar player for Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page! Though I myself once possessed a rare collection of Aleister Crowley’s works, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin has collected an enormous amount of Aleister Crowley memorabilia. And, yes, he even bought Aleister Crowley’s flat on Loch Ness – the “Aleister Crowley Castle”! (Aleister Crowley only lived in the “Aleister Crowley Castle” himself for roughly six months! The “Magickal Work” that he did there supposedly made the place haunted, and so even Aleister Crowley himself eventually left the flat!!!)

So, what did Aleister Crowley do during his six month stay on Loch Ness? Well, Mr. Crowley obtained a book called “The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage”. He was, at that time, aspiring to the Magickal Grade of Adeptus Minor. So, he sought out and bought a place to retire for six months (sometimes referred to as a “magickal retirement”) while he carried out the instructions in the above mentioned book; a six month Ritual of Magick in which the goal was to obtain to “The Knowledge and Conversation of The Holy Guardian Angel”

I understand a thing or two about this particular Grade Work myself, and if accomplished correctly, attainment in this Grade means simply that you now understand what God’s True Will is for you. In the next Magickal Grade of Work, you set out to rearrange your life in accordance with your Divine understanding. Attainment in this Magickal Grade means that you finally understand your strengths and weaknesses in such a way as to know what God’s will is for you; it is like finally understanding who you are, and what your purpose is, especially from the Divine perspective. This is all a rather complicated subject!

Whether or not Aleister Crowley succeeded in this Work or not was heavily debated within his own circles. But, the flat pictured below is where he settled down to undertake this Magickal Work. The Aleister Crowley Castle is purportedly haunted as a direct result of Crowley’s Work there! I suppose we could all ask Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin if the Aleister Crowley castle is really haunted, assuming he himself has ever been there.

I recently heard about some connection between the Beatles and Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley does make an appearance on one of the Beatles albums. He is pictured on the album, “Sergeant Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band”! It is likely that one or more members of the Beatles knew of Aleister Crowley. After all, both the Beatles and Aleister Crowley are from England, and both parties experimented freely with drugs, at one time or another! I would guess that John, Paul, and Ringo may have read of Aleister Crowley, or perhaps one or more of them had even read some of his books? Well, there is no better an ending for this article as:

Love is the law, love under will.

be surprise to know that the best exercise to lose belly fat is not what you think. Normally your first point of call will be devoting a lot of energy into doing sit ups which will not yield substantial weight lost. What you suppose to be doing is an exercise that will reduce your carbohydrate and fat intake. Once your diet is sorted out, you can start thinking of the best exercise to lose belly fat fast. Iam going to focus not on one, but three abdominal workouts that have proven to be very effective.

You should first of all get yourself a workout ball, the blow up type. This will be used mainly for three exercises. You will want to target three areas of your abs muscles. The rectus abdominus which is the area responsible for the much coveted six pack look, the transverse abdominus located on the side and the external oblique which is also located on the near the side.

All three of these combines are the best exercise to lose belly fat. You need to understand something right now. You can sit on your exercise ball and do one sit up after another and never gain the results you desire. You need to learn proper muscle contraction at the top of every repetition. Now, let\’s look at three varied movements which will really begin to help you lose belly fat.

The combination of the three are the best exercise to lose belly fat fast that have proven to work so well for myself and people. You can sit as much as you like on your exercise ball and do one sit up after the another without gaining the results you crave for. Ok, let now look at three different movements that will really help you lose belly fat.

(a) Sit on your exercise ball with your butt and have your legs stretched with your shoulder width apart. Then place your hand across your chest, then repeat once and squeeze the abs and the crunch position. Do it 25 times and you will begin to feel the burn. I normally do up to three sets of 25 reps.

(b) Next is my favorite. Lie on your back and position the exercise ball between your ankles. Then slowly raise the ball toward the sky and squeeze the abs. Lower your legs and squeeze the abs once again. Repeat this as much as you can and on daily basis and without doubt you will see result.

(c) And lastly, lie on your back and position the exercise ball below your knees like you would when lying on the floor watching TV and have your legs on the couch, but this time around your couch is the exercise ball. Once that\’s done, lift your chin towards your knees with your hands across your chest and squeeze your abs at the top. Then slowly lower your chest while maintain the same tight abs. Follow the same pattern as in exercises one and two.

Well, these are the best exercises to lose belly fat fast that have worked so well for me. And with good healthy eating habits and wihtout doubt, you will be on your way to having a leaner and healthier body.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Where to find gold

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

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

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

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

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

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

Which Streams contain gold?

There are 4 characteristics that you need to find gold!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks for checking out my Article!

Having man boobs makes men very insecure about their appearance. Some men who have them do not even like going out in fear that strangers might take notice of their female-like chests. Man boobs are caused by many factors, among them the most common are obesity or being overweight, a side-effect to a medication or Gynecomastia.

Certain medications like steroids can have the growth of male breasts as a side effect. You should be careful if you are taking these kinds of medicine. A male will be diagnosed with Gynecomastia if his body produces more of the female hormone estrogen, when it is supposed to be producing more testosterone (male hormones). Being obese or overweight is the most common reason why males develop man breasts. This is because excess fat is accumulated in the upper torso and in time will start filling out the chest.

How do you get rid of man boobs?

There are many ways to get rid of man boobs. Before choosing whichever method to use, take into consideration the cause of their growth. If your man boobs developed because you have Gynecomastia, it is best t o seek a doctor’s help.

Weight Reduction

Obese or overweight males are most likely to develop man boobs because of the excess fat in the area. By losing the excess weight they put on, they can easily say goodbye to their man boobs as well.

Eat Healthy

A safe way t o get rid of man boobs is with a proper diet. Avoid food that is high in refined carbohydrates like potatoes and white bread. Diets that are high in saturated fat and sugar should also be changed. You should also avoid foods that have estrogen-related compounds just like almonds and soy milk. Beer drinking should definitely be out of the picture.

Routine Exercise

Having an exercise routine will be able to help you in your struggle against man boobs. Go for exercises that can target your upper torso or chest. Pushups and bench presses are some examples of these kinds of exercise. To keep your body fit as well, doing an interval workout will really help you. You can interchangeably do a cardio workout and conditioning workout.

Supplements

Man boobs can also be done away with by taking herbal supplements. These work by decreasing the amount of fat cells in the area and making the smaller in size. Some supplements that are able to increase the rate of metabolism can also be of aid since it will make you burn fat quicker.

Consult a Doctor

You can consult your doctor if you have Gynecomastia. The doctor can be able to prescribe you medicines that will help to get rid of them. Most of these medicines will either increase the production of male hormones (testosterone) or decrease the production of female hormones (estrogen). For very severe cases of Gynecomastia, the doctor might suggest that you undergo a breast reduction surgery. This should be only considered as a last option because it is the riskiest of all available options to remove man boobs.
