The question that I get most often from people who do not have tattoo’s is, “Does it hurt?” and the answer to that question is, “Yes.” Then their follow up question will be, “What does it fee like?” Of course the answer will probably differ from person to person but the best way I can describe it is, it feels like you are getting stung by hundreds of bees at the same time. So if you are interested in getting a tattoo, please know that getting a tattoo on your body is going to hurt, but there are definitely more and less painful places on your body you could get on. So this leads me to inform you on the most and least painful places on your body to get a tattoo. Please keep in mind every person differs from pain levels, this is just a general consensus. Most Painful 1. The ankles or top of your feet 2. Eyebrows 3. Chest or rib cage 4. Your private areas 5. The elbow 6. Eyelids 7. Knuckles 8. Spine Least Painful 1. Shoulder 2. Thigh 3. Butt 4. Upper Arm If I didn’t list a particular part of your body you are interested in knowing about, just keep this in mind. The more boney and less fatty an area on your body is the more painful that tattoo is going to be, due to the fact that there is nothing there to help take the pain expect for your nerves and skin.

Articles’ writing is more than just thinking, writing and tying just anything.You’ve got to have your targeted readers at the back of your mind; their interest and what would make them keep on reading, in short you have to capture their attention and curiosity. Being highly creative and unique is essential, and it’s what command respect and readers followership. While creativity may be naturally endowed to many people, some nurture it from environmental experience while those who are not endowed literally torn their hair out when they get writers block and just can’t seem to get their creative juices flowing. It takes artistic creativity, clear, crisp depiction and flair to turn words into images in the readers mind. Similes and metaphors help a lot, but the way an article gets entwined word for word, sentence by sentence then paragraph by paragraph into a whole article develops the essence of the article. There is no surefire ways to get the perfect ideas but there are easy ways to get your creative juices flowing. No one can guarantee you of having the perfect mindset but many methods may aid you in achieving that state of mind. So just what do you have to do when nothing comes to mind? Here are five easy ways for that. 1) Always have a journal or a diary handy. Ideas can come anytime from what you perceived with your senses which serve as your radar in finding great ideas. Jot them down into a journal as soon as they come for future reference. You may also write down anything that you have read or heard, someone’s ideas could be used to develop your own ideas and this is not stealing. Remember that ideas and creativity can come from anywhere; how you develop it is what determines its uniqueness. 2) After gathering the ideas, take time to relax in sorting them out. A clear mindset is important, if one wishes to have creativity in full speed. Get rid of all negative thoughts and obstacles that can be a hindrance to your perception. If you are bothered by something, you cannot force your mind to stay focused. Try to relax every time that you can and think about your experiences and interactions with others. Your experiences are what shape your mindset and your opinions which could be reflected on your writings. Try to discover yourself, find out what triggers your emotions. Discover what inspires you and what ticks you off. You can use these emotions to help you in expressing yourself and your ideas, with this you can grow creatively. 3) Set the mood. Setting the mood requires you to just go with the moment or to induce your self to feeling what makes your mind works best. Finding out what makes you tick could help you find ways to get your creative juices flowing. Set the pace and tempo for your mood and everything else will follow.There are many ways to set the mood. Some writers have been known to use alcohol, a little sip of wine to stir up the imagination. Some would like some mood music while others let the lighting of the environment creates the mood. 4) A conducive working place that can inspire your creativeness needed to be created. Your working place can be quite a hindrance if it doesn’t make you feel happy or relaxed. Creativity comes from being in a good state of mind and a messed up workplace that causes distraction won’t be conducive in firing up your creative flow. Surround your working place with objects that makes you happy and relaxed. You may put up pictures, or scents, objects that inspire, or anything that can get your creativeness cranking. A clean and well organized workplace also rids of distractions and unwanted hindrances. With a good working place, you can work in peace and never notice the time pass by. 5) Go on a getaway and just do something unlike crazy. Letting yourself go and have fun produces adrenaline that can make your imagination go wild. Take an adventure or a solemn hike. Whatever it is that is unusual from your daily routine can take the rut out of your schedule. In no time at all, your creativeness will make use of that experience and get your imagination to go on overdrive.

In November 2007, in a country in South Asia, that marks the region where South Asia converges and the Middle East, someone heard the voice of the Holy Spirit. Somewhere between the Arabian Sea in the south, Afghanistan and Iran in the west, India in the east and China in the far northeast, someone’s heart was stirred for Jesus Christ. From here, the sixth most populous country in world, amist the second largest population of Muslims in the world, someone was spiritually dehydrated, and searching for some living water. They bravely, like Peter and John, made the decision that it is more important to obey God rather than men. What they were about to do, if discovered, put them at risk of harassment, and assault, as well as risking their children being sold as slaves to finance Islamic Terrorism. It could also bring the death penalty. They knew all this, but they had to fill a hearts longing, they had to quench a thirst like no other, they HAD TO DRINK SOME LIVING WATER. They live in a country is controlled by a radical Islamic General whose entire government teeters on the brink of collapse daily. He holds power only by ruthlessly putting down the even more radical Islamisists. His government enforces, sometimes brutally, the Blasphemy Law. This law says that anyone who converts from Islam to Christianity can be sent to their death for insulting Muhammad. Recently, a village gave Christians 10 days to convert to Islam, or face death. His country shelters some of the world’s worst Islamic terror groups. In this country, Christians are abused, their children are sold into slavery to fund worldwide Islamic terrorism, and sometimes they are killed by mobs, such as during the recent Dutch cartoon riots, with little or no police response. Despite knowing all this, someone tapped into a computer server half a world away, and read about our Messiah, Jesus Christ. The server they tapped was located in Orem, Utah. The information had been uploaded to Orem, Utah had from a Home Computer in Irmo, SC, the “International Headquarters” of Spotless Lamb Ministries, Inc. We know the Word of God always produces fruit when it is sent out. We know that our ministry is reaching people around the world for the Kingdom. For, from the country of Pakistan, someone logged on to learn about the grace that covers all our sins. We have received 30,000 hits since April, 2007. That includes 50 from the Chinese Underground Christian Church, before the Chinese Government apparently blocked access. With your prayers, and your help, we can top 75,000 hits by April, 2008, if we can provide the ministry in languages other than English. A desperate and thirsty world may be running out of time to turn to Christ. Churches are splitting over clear Scriptural teachings. There are signs that someone who understands the Bible can not miss. Would you covenant with me to use every tool we have, spiritually and financially, to rescue them from the flames of Hell? We need prayer, lots of prayer. We also need contributions. A medium quality, 7 language translator to plug into the website would cost $149.00. Having it installed would run between $100 and $250. But someone who is internet savvy and could volunteer some time would be even better. This is a reachable goal that we can achieve quickly. Future goals include advertising and publicizing the site, both to expand the cell phone program, and expand the rescue operation, rescuing the lost as they slide toward eternal damnation. Would you like to meet someone in Heaven one day that came up to you and thanked you for giving? Oh, what a glorious day that will be. What eternal treasures are you depositing into the Bank of Jesus Christ? Working together, me, you, and the Holy Spirit, there is nothing we can’t accomplish for the Kingdom of God. Then we can hear those wonderful words,” Well done my good and faithful servant, well done!” Thank You and God Bless. Copyright 2007 Spotless Lamb Ministries, Inc. Timothy E.

Universities would set and assess dissertations for the brightest school pupils in a bid to help them identify the best students, under a proposed overhaul of A-levels. Plans being discussed by former Ofsted chief Mike Tomlinson’s working group, which is investigating the reform of education for 14 to 19-year olds, would see all A level coursework in schools phased out and replaced with a single dissertation under a new overarching diploma. Mr Tomlinson told EducationGuardian.co.uk that a single dissertation could replace all coursework in both the intermediate and advanced stages of the diploma, in a bid to reduce the burden of assessment on students. At the advanced level we think the dissertation, as part of the study, could be a significant means of differentiating between students. It would be of the highest quality and would illustrate skills for students relevant to higher education entry, he added. This year 21% of A-level students scored at least one A grade, igniting a debate on how universities chose the right students for their degree courses. Cambridge, Oxford and University College London are planning new supertests to be sat by applicants for medical, veterinary and biomedical science courses at Oxford, Cambridge and University College London, and other Russell group universities are investigating similar moves. Law schools are also reported to be investigating similar initiatives for their admission process. Yesterday Mr Tomlinson said that he felt sorry for students who would face another test, but accepted that a better mechanism of distinguishing between the best candidates was necessary. Today he said that the practicalities were being considered. There is the question of how it would be organised and managed and how it would be assessed. We could, assuming they wanted to, have the universities very intimately involved in assessing the work. A spokesperson for Universities UK, which represents university chiefs, said the proposals were certainly interesting. She went on: It is of course vital that the potential knock-on effects for universities and their admissions procedures of any changes are fully explored in consultation with the HE sector. Mr Tomlinson’s working group includes two university vice-chancellors, Professor David Eastwood from the University of East Anglia and Professor David Melville of the University of Kent. Today, David Eastwood told EducationGuardian.co.uk: As far as universities are concerned, we want to see greater stretch at the top end and a greater capacity for universities to be able to differentiate between students. One of the criticisms of the existing structure, at GCSE and at A2, is that students spend a lot of time doing GCSE and A2 coursework for different subjects and the skills being tested aren’t very different. We are trying to think through ways to create a core within a diploma where a major extended piece of work would be part of that core and one thing which helped provide greater stretch and differentiation. Professor Eastwood is to chair a sub-committee within the Tomlinson group to investigate how the proposed diploma would go down in the higher education sector.

I read many ezine articles in the course of doing research. I’m surprised at the number of writers that try to squeeze the contents of an entire book into one article. I didn’t go online to read a novel. When I see an article that is a thousand words or more, I immediately click away. In most cases, the author adds unrelated information to fill more pages. There’s an advantage in breaking up a long article into several smaller ones; you get to publish several resource boxes. The resource box is your only possible source of payment. Publishing three of them is better than publishing just one. Don’t try to cover every possible detail when writing your articles. If the subject is a long one, break it up into several articles. If the article tells about an ongoing adventure, separate it in a number of sections, such as: Trekking through the Yukon

In reviewing and browsing web sites over the years, I have compiled a list of the most common misuses of English by web authors. Here they are in Letterman (reverse) order. 10. Who, which or that? “Who” (or “whom”) refers to persons. “Which” refers to animals or things, never to persons. “That” can refer to either persons or things. Examples: The girl who was hungry. The dog that wagged its tail. The software which I wrote. 9. Anyone vs any one “Anyone” means “any person,” not necessarily any specific person. It could refer to multiple people simultaneously. As two words, “any one” refers to a single person. Examples: Anyone can download my software. But the software can only be used by any one user at a time. 8. Commonly misspelled words All right Dependable Independent Recommend Responsible Separate 7. Don’t put punctuation at the end of a URL While not technically an English grammatical error, don’t put a period or anything immediately after a URL reference. Doing so will usually invalidate the URL. You might call this an internet grammatical rule. Example: Notice the lack of a period in the following sentence. My URL is article-promotion.blogspot.com 6. Software not softwares “Software” can be singular or plural. Never use “softwares.” 5. Do the quotes go after or before the period? Put quotes after a period or comma. Put quotes before a colon. Put quotes after a question mark unless the entire sentence is a question. This is a US English standard. British English usage can differ. Examples: He asked, “Are you hungry?” She replied, “Yes, I am hungry.” Did she say, “Yes”? 4. There, their, or they’re “There” is used in two ways. It can specify a place. It can also be used as an expletive or empty word to start a sentence. “Their” is used as a possessive form of “they”. “They’re” is short for “they are.” Examples: I live there, not here. There are nine planets in the solar system. The two boys raced their bikes. They’re both tired after walking up the stairs. 3. Powerful Too many developers describe their software as, “XXX Software is a powerful, easy-to-use, … .” I searched download.com and found 2149 descriptions or titles of software containing the word “powerful.” Powerful has many meanings, most referring to how effectively something is performed, as in muscular. A car with 450 horsepower is clearly more powerful than one with only 200 horsepower. But what is powerful software? If you mean feature-rich (like Adobe Photoshop), then say so. If your software does only one thing, but it does it completely or thoroughly (like CounterSpy), then say so. But please, no more powerful software. 2. Site or sight A “site” is a place. “Sight” refers to your sense of vision. Examples: A web site is a place on the internet that you visit with your browser. A beautiful sunset is a marvellous sight. And, finally, the most common English blunder by web authors is: 1. Its or It’s Use “it’s” only when it means “it is.” Unless you can replace “it’s” with “it is,” use “its.” Never use “its’.” Examples: It’s raining today. The dog wagged its tail. Conclusion: English is very difficult for persons whose native language is not English. It is also difficult for many English-speaking authors. Unfortunately, most of the common grammatical errors will not be caught by a spell checker, so you have to manually check your writing for them. An excellent reference is the short and timeless book, The Elements of Style, by William Strunk, Jr. and E.B. White. A free online version of this book is available at .bartleby.com/141/index.html I hope that web authors can use this article to recognize and correct some of the most common grammatical blunders that abound on the internet. ======================================== Kempton Smith helps internet businesses promote their products or services online by ghostwriting affordable, unique, keyword-rich articles for them.

My initial reaction to the Iceman Interviews was that the murderer, Richard Kuklinski, was suffering from some deep seated mental illnesses in order for him to be able to commit what he estimated to be 200 or more murders without remorse. I was gratified later that the psychologist who interviewed him agreed. I was amazed that he had such a knack for killing. Without any apparent forethought he was able to carry out successful hits on anybody he wished without leaving any evidence behind or witnesses to the crimes. I was disgusted that it took almost thirty years for this prolific killer to be finally caught. It makes me wonder how many people like him are in our society free to kill as they please. People who the criminal justice system has absolutely no knowledge of. It was frightening how easily he was to anger and how little it took for him to decide to kill someone. When the psychologist began to criticize a statement Richard had made, Richard warned him that he was becoming annoyed. Often that was all it took for someone to die. The slow manner of his speech and certain statements he made that were not consistent with each other indicates that he was not so cold and unfeeling when he made his first few kills. When he spoke about his first murder in a bar fight where he beat a man to death with a pool cue he became visibly upset and confessed that the guilt over what he had done had plagued him for days. This indicates his first use of coping techniques for managing the stigma of having committed murder. In this case he simply claimed it was an accident that couldn’t be helped. Later in Richard’s life, he often worked out of the Gemini Lounge in Brooklyn. This is an example of manipulating the physical setting. By making it look like a business he created the feeling that what he was doing was legitimate. He also divided the social world, in which a small group of people knew what he did for a living and everyone else he came into contact with simply didn’t know. The technique of stigma management he most strongly subscribed to was appealing to higher loyalties. This technique states that a person commits deviant or criminal acts because it is service to someone or some cause which the deviant holds in higher regard than the rest of society or the criminal justice system. He claimed that since he had no education or other job skills, the only way to support his family was to work for the mafia as a hitman. He spoke many times of how much he cared for his wife and kids. They were the only thing in his life that mattered. As he saw it as the only way to make enough money to care for his family, he had no trouble rationalizing his acts from that point onward. There are two types of violence which Richard committed in his criminal career. The first is expressive violence which is defined as acts that vent rage, anger, or frustration. A good example of this would be all of Richard’s murders before he met the woman who would become his wife. He killed people because they angered him or in retaliation for some perceived slight. He recounted one such murder in which he was stalking a man who had insulted him. He followed the man to a bar. When the man stepped into the alley outside the bar to urinate, Richard walked up behind him and strangled him to death with a clothesline hanging from a nearby window. Once the man was dead the insult had been avenged and he simply walked away. The other type of violence Richard displayed was instrumental violence which are acts designed to improve the financial or social position of the criminal. All the hired hits Richard had completed for the mafia were of this type. He was paid very well to kill someone, and when he did so it increased his social standing within the Gambino crime family. When he did his first job he was given a picture of the man to be killed and the locations where he was known to frequent. He drove up beside the man at a stoplight, confirmed he matched the picture, and shot him in the face with a shotgun. He then drove off. Despite these motivations for continuing his violent behavior, the question of why he was so violent to begin with still stands. I believe he acted the way he did because he fits the criteria for the creation of a “dangerous violent criminal”, which should not be mistaken for violent criminal. A dangerous violent criminal commits heinous acts without provocation. The creation of a dangerous violent criminal takes four stages. The first is called brutalization in which the subject goes through abusive treatment at the hands of others. We know for a fact that Richard was beaten viciously by both his parents as a child as a form of subjugation and coercion. He also witnessed his father beating his mother on many occasions. It is likely he was coached at one time or another that violent behavior is not only acceptable, but required in certain situations. The second stage is Belligerency. This describes the state of mind of someone who has gone through stage one. They are angry, hostile, and belligerent. At this point they begin to see that they too should be violent. At the end of this stage the subject makes a “mitigated violence resolution” where they accept they can and will use violence if provoked. Stage three is violent performances in which a person starts to act out violently, but only when there is some form of provocation. Around this time the subject customarily gets into their first real fight. The outcome of this is critical. If the subject losses his first fight he/she may consider ceasing all other acts of violence. If the subject wins the first fight they will have increased self-confidence and are more likely to use violence to resolve potentially dangerous situations. Richard recounts a story of when he was fourteen and there were six other boys in his house that were going to pick on him and ridicule him, as was common. He went upstairs, retrieved a metal clothes rod and beat them all senseless. This prompted him to continue on to stage four. Stage four is known as virulency. The subject is confident they can take care of themselves in most violent situations. This indicates they’ve finally obtained a violent self-concept where other people see them as capable of violent crime. The result of this is an “unmitigated violent resolution” in which the subject now commits violence without reason or provocation. I believe that given Richard Kuklinski’s history and slow graduation to killing people, this is likely the process that resulted in his current behavior. There are many parallels between Richard Kuklinski’s story and the study performed by Jeremy Wright and Christopher Hensley which looked at ties between cruelty to animals in childhood and serial killing. Though Kuklinski is not defined as a serial killer as his motives and choice of victims were structured rather than random, he shares many of the developmental experiences that it is believed serial killers go through. Kuklinski freely admits to having tortured and killed small animals as a boy. As early as age ten he would tie cats’ tails together and let them rip each other apart or throw them in an incinerator. He would throw dogs off the roof of the apartment building he lived in or tie them to busses and let them be dragged along. The article claims that young children would channel their aggression from the people abusing them, often their parents, and instead strike out against groups unable to retaliate, such as animals. Kuklinski did the same thing. His parents beat him constantly, and as his anger and hatred for them grew he acted out, but unable to hurt those who had hurt him, he instead took out his anger on animals. The graduation hypothesis voiced in the article states that serial killers slowly work their way upward from animals to human beings. The reason being is that the rush or feeling of relief that they initially get from hurting animals doesn’t ease their anger and frustration after a while. They have become desensitized to the experience so they graduate to killing people in order to regain those feelings. Kuklinski’s experiences corroborate this theory. Though later in his career he repeatedly claims that he got no gratification from killing people, he claimed that after his first few murders when he was younger, he experienced a great sense of relief. I occurs to me that had Richard Kuklinski never met the woman who would become his wife and had a family, he would be one of the most infamous serial killers in American history. When he met her he realized that he could use the skills he had to build a life for him and his family. This altered his motivations for killing and created a pattern that he could follow, ultimately allowing him to be caught. John Albers jragebellsouth.net

Here’s how to write articles like a pro and have the reader hanging off every word. They’ll will want to use your article on their sites because it was so interesting and be powerful content for their sites. 1. Write an eye-catching Headline. Your headline should be captivating, grab their attention. Instead of using, ‘Dog Training Tip’, try something like, ‘7 Powerful Tips To Train Your Dog So That He’ll Do Exactly What You Want’. 2. Create a powerful opening paragraph. Your first paragraph should include a lot of interesting information. List what will answer the readers question or answer a nagging problem. Like, ‘You’re going to learn to train your dog so that he’ll jump at every command’. 3. Use bullets. With each new item use numbers or bullets to create space between paragraphs. This makes it a lot easier for the readers eyes. They will be much more inclined to read this type of writing then text that is all bunched together. 4. Supply informative text that the reader can use. For instance, if you’re writing about ‘dog training’, then include things like, ‘In this example you’ll be learning how to get your dog to lay down, in only 15 minutes using only tit bits. 5. Use white space. To make the article more easy on the readers eyes, if you jam all your text together, then the reader will lose interest and they’ll leave your article. 6. Answer questions that reader wants to know the answer too. Think about what the reader wants to know and answer it. For example, if you’re writing about, dog training, then one of the questions might be. ‘How do I get my dog to walk properly when taking him for a walk?’. You can answer this by, ‘Learn how to get your dog to walk right by your side in half an hour’. 7. Make bio box info interesting. This is where you can put a URL to your site.
