Instead, be original. This may also serve you very well in the long run.

If you show something of the genuine you, then there’s no need to pretend at any time in the relationship. Before writing that title, think hard and long about how you perceive yourself and how your mates see you. Try and remember what they assert are your best qualities.

Select the ones you agree with, and then write them down. Remember not to ramble continuously. As for your screen name, the same applies. It can take you some time, but in the end it’ll all be worth it if you truly desire a match. Whether to put a photograph or not? That is the question. Some people tend not to be comfortable with putting their footage on the Internet. The explanation is this : it should not matter what I look like, people should like me for who I am. That is well and good. However, online dating web sites testify to the proven fact that folks who include a flattering photograph in their profiles get replies eight times more than those that don’t.

If you need to get more replies, then have a picture taken from your most flattering angle and include it in your profile.

Emphasise your unique traits. What makes you different? Help the other person understand you a little bit. Contribute detail to the point of avoiding obscurity. It is fine for you to give some private information but desist from being too private. It is not necessarily the greatest idea to start spewing all of the issues and problems that you have been dealing with. Make your expectancies clear. That is just perfect? Is this merely a one night stand or something more secure? Mention what the other person can expect from you too. Talk about your hobbies and things that you want to do with your other half.

You’re probably thinking to yourself right now, what is the best site to go to define someone that loves horses As much as I dohorse dating

- You have to give the impression that you are positive, affluent, powerful, (and tender in private with her). If you don’t have these characteristics, fake them. Women need to see potential, and the origin of the word potential is the Latin ‘potentia’, meaning power.

– Most crucial: You must not embarrass your escort in public. Women hate to be the centre of attention for the wrong reasons. If you’re play-acting like a little boy or an obnoxious brute you’re using up your credit every second that ticks by.

– Social skills: A man should ideally be gregarious, with a coterie of jovial acquaintances. He ought be able to hold learned discussions on a wide variety of subjects. A man should be observant. He ought to notice when a woman has modified her appearance. He should notice when she is distressed. When called for he should not stay silent, but offer compliments or sympathy. He should, however, also be aware that no knight ever won a fair maiden by being servile. You’re not obliged to tolerate unreasonable behaviour. Don’t take women’s ‘crises’ too seriously. They certainly don’t. One day all is lost, the next day all is well. A strong man holds it all in. A strong woman (or a nutcase!) explodes. Regularly.

– A terrible habit: smoking. If you smoke, you’re cutting yourself off from the company of legions of women. I know the weed is deucedly difficult to kick. The brain craves it. But many women won’t go out with you if you smoke. Apart from the burden on your health, it causes your hair and clothes to smell terrible, and your mouth to taste like an ashtray. Give the filthy habit up, and spend the money you save turning yourself out nicely.

– Don’t over-think it. We are drawn to a certain type, with whom we can make a better baby; more hardy, fitter, brighter, better adjusted to its environs. Other types just don’t click with us, ‘though we can acknowledge intellectually they are attractive. It’s a heart thing, a guts thing, and parts lower down. The head merely gives its acquiescence to a decision already made.

– Professional online dating sites are a better bet. Better yet is a specialist one. You think you’re open to all offers. In fact, in the back of your mind, you have a very specific set of criteria. Bring them to the foreground. Do you like slim or plump, tall or short, blonde or brunette, college-educated or not, extraverted or introvert? It’s smart also to go for people who are of the same faith as you. You might think it’s not crucial now, but when her kinfolk start getting involved in your kid’s rearing, it will matter a very great deal.

– Women want you to like and admire and cherish them. Casanova was successful with women not because he was handsome or exuberant (he was rather plain in looks), but because he truly appreciated them. The archetypical latin lover is very thoughtful and complimentary to his quarry, and treats her like a princess, a donna. He says she is the most gorgeous woman in the world, and means it. Oh, she laughs at this, but see how she shines too. Most men treat women like an alien specie, or objects to be acquired, as s-x toys, or as sullen disordered nuisances. A man that accepts a woman precisely as she is, with authentic admiration, can have any woman he wants.

– Conspicuous consumption shows that you are not tight with your money. Show this by spending some on her, or giving her some! Don’t be a sap, however; if the chemistry ain’t there, on BOTH sides, move on. You can’t pester or bribe a woman into loving you, ‘though they may be reluctant to reject a ’sugar daddy’ entirely. When true love strikes, you’ll both know it; accept no substitute!

I hope these few basic tips will be of some use to you in finding a nice girl via dating online or offline.

Now for the current guy. The only thing you said about him was that he was “ok” and went on about your ex again. Doesn’t seem like your that interested.

My advice- Leave both of them and look for a guy you know WITHOUT A DOUBT you want to spend the rest of your life with AND is a person your kids could look up to. Think about it this way, you’ll sleep with him every night, wake up to him, take care of him and your kids, support him through his mid-life crisis AND love him unconditionally. Just make sure the guy who your with is worth all that

Good luck

Inquiries
Several people, both parents and aspiring models and actors, have asked about Diamond Productions, wanting to know if it is legit. The following information was developed in response to public interest.

Report
March 15, 2005

[Last Updated: September 13, 2005]

Ownership/Leadership
Diamond Productions Talent Booking is owned and operated by Christina Aston, an aspiring actress in Baltimore, MD.

Website
The Diamond Productions website is not www.diamondproductions.com, but www.commercialcast.org.

Licensing/Bonding
It was confirmed in March 2005 by the Maryland Department of Labor that Diamond Productions does not need a license (state licensing requirement was repealed in April 2003), but it does have to pay a surety bond in the amount of $7,000, and it has paid this fee. Diamond Productions, therefore, can do business as a modeling and talent agency in Maryland.

However, one of the prohibited acts under the employment law for talent agencies is charging registration fees or advance fees: "An employment agency may not. . . . charge a client a registration fee or collect in advance from a client a payment for service to be performed for the client to obtain employment."

Consumer Comments
Consumers have reported Diamond Productions asked them to pay a registration fee in the amount of $75.00. This was called a job guarantee fee.

BBB
The Better Business Bureau (at the time of writing) received complaints, but it has no unresolved complaints. However, the BBB also noted Diamond Productions has not been forthcoming about basic business information: "The Bureau has requested basic information from this company. The Bureau has not received a response."

Comments
Before doing business or giving money away, consumers should ask Diamond Productions what information they refused to give the BBB and why. The BBB's standard request for information is not invasive and only intended to protect the public, and most companies provide the requested information.

Background
Diamond Productions claims it has been in business for 10 years (http://commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/faqaboutus/) [March 15, 2005]. The website of the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation, however, records it was registered in 1998: "Date of Formation or Registration: 09/10/1998." The record also showed DP's status was "Forfeited," which means "its existence has been ended by the State for some delinquency." The details for DP: "THE ENTITY WAS FORFEITED FOR FAILURE TO FILE PROPERTY RETURN FOR 1999." "Good standing": "No."

References
All of the references or "Testimonials" DP provided on its website were html text which could not be verified. You cannot tell if they were made up. The About Us page did not provide the names and testimony of any industry leaders or major clients recommending CommercialCast and its unusual practices.

Unusual Practices
Diamond Productions aka CommercialCast is not your typical modeling and talent agency. In fact, after reviewing many different modeling companies, it is fair to say there is nothing like Diamond Productions. It is quite unusual, and not in an obviously good way.

For example, DP says it is not an agency (even though the Maryland law defines an agency as a company that "provides a client with information to enable the client to obtain employment"), but it has paid the surety bond, which is required of every employment (modeling/talent) agency. A model on one modeling website, CurvyChick.com, sarcastically called Diamond Productions a "'non-agent' agency."

It is also called Diamond Productions Talent Booking, according to the BBB. Booking agencies for modeling and acting jobs typically charge no fees for anything before talent works. DP charges a registration fee and charges talent for several extra services. Typically modeling agencies always take a commission, usually 20%; whereas DP says it does not collect any commission.

DP says it also does "a phone audition service which guarantees talent participation in on-the-spot auditions." (http://commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/animationsinternational/) [March 15, 2005]. This is highly unusual. Unknown talent receive notices of guaranteed bookings or "Booking Confirmations" for commercials, etc., when they have never even met with the client.

Normally, talent goes to an audition or more than one audition, actually speaks in front of the client or casting director, who can evaluate their look and discern their talent. You have to wonder what kind of clients book talent they have never met. Telephone calls are no substitute for meeting one-on-one.

Fees, Fees, and More Fees
Diamond Productions charges talent advance fees. After they are "booked," they are asked to pay a $75.00 "job guarantee" fee.

> I recently replied by sending a head shot and resume for a casting call
> to a website called www.commercialcast.org. I received a response stating
> that I had been selected to appear in a television ad for XXXX. A speaking

This socalled job guarantee fee is not common of modeling/talent agencies and it is widely regarded as unethical to charge talent any registration fees, no matter what terms, phrases, or words are used to conceal or blur the fact they are registration fees.

Talent, further, are asked to pay audition fees. "To participate in the current auditions, you will need to pay a one-time access fee of $60 to Diamond Productions to obtain full access for a period of one year." Reputable modeling and talent agencies do not charge audition fees. (http://commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/animationsinternational/) [March 15, 2005].

Diamond Productions has devised as many ways as possible to take your money before you work. For an internet "marketing tool" or scrapbook, called a "magazine," you must pay $25. You can pay even more if you want to be featured on their website:

SUPERB MAGAZINE IS AN ONLINE MAGAZINE TO BE VIEWED BY SUBSCRIPTION HOLDERS ONLY. TO BECOME A SUBSCRIPTION HOLDER, YOU MAY RECEIVE ONLINE COPIES OF EACH MONTHLY ISSUE FOR THE AMOUNT OF $25 FOR 6 MONTHS. . . . 1 MONTH APPEARANCE FEE = $50.00. (http://commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/scrapbook/) [March 15, 2005].

Consumers also report they were asked to pay DP for classes by video. This was highly unusual and self-serving, because the talent had apparently already been booked–before the training!

Why would an agent book talent if it had not been trained or it felt that training was needed? Obviously it normally would not do this, but in the DP case, it gets paid a nice chunk of change.

> I am an aspiring actress and had submitted to this company who now

> is come up for a preparation workshop to guarantee my spot. They
> sent me an email with a contract that looks very good. Please let
> me know about this as I have to sign up by XXXXX to reserve my
> spot.

DP's commercialcast website indicates they book talent in California:

Commercialcast New York is our Talent Booking Division for New York based talent. This division handles talent to be cast in the New York, New Jersey and the Washington, DC areas. A wide rangs [sic] of bookings are handled in the Los Angeles area of California as well. (http://www.commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/door/) [March 15, 2005].

California law, however, is extremely strict with respect to advance fees charged to talent. Labor Code 1700, for example, prohibits talent agencies from charging any fees for anything before talent gets work. Talent agencies are not even allowed to collect fees, even if they keep none of them for themselves. The law is set like that because so many scams charged talent advance fees.

How the scheme works
Since DP is uncommon in its fee schedule, not charging commissions, you have wonder why. The only rational explanation is DP thinks or knows it can make more money from charging talent fees instead of getting commissions. What other explanation is there?

There is not enough information available yet to call DP a scam, even though it charges advance fees for registration and classes like many modeling scams, but there is an obvious scheme. The scheme is designed to get talent to pay them before they work and even if they don't work.

The lure is very strong when talent receives a "Booking Confirmation" notice. This makes it appear as if talent has already got a job. Excitement takes over. It appears as if they are so close to working as an actor or model, the hardest part is complete. Now all they have to do is show up or pay a little fee to guarantee a job. The fee seems so trivial in comparison to the mega bucks they could earn; it seems worth it. This has the effect of stringing talent along.

Then they are told about the acting seminar or video. Less than $200? Nothing compared to the big bucks they'll earn from commercials and residuals, right? Not so fast!

The fact that DP does not take commissions could mislead talent into thinking they are getting a deal, i.e., after they work, they keep all the money, nothing gets cut for the agency. If the payout, however, is very small, because the job was very minor, it does not help talent, and it is certainly not a "deal."

Money Back
If you want your money back, know that DP paid $7,000 into an "insurance" fund for those who feel they were misled, and you could make a claim for a portion of this money. (First-come, first-served

The purpose of this memo is to give a recommendation of netiquettes guidelines that LSU can endorse for its students. The two netiquette guidelines that I will be reviewing were both found online. The first one is the website Study Guide and Strategies at http://www.studygs.net/netiquette.htm. The second site I’ve found is from Linfield University at http://www.linfield.edu/policy/netiquette.html.

There is basic netiquette that is included in both of these guidelines. These netiquette rules include:
•Do not send email when angry or emotional.
•Never send anything electronically that you wouldn’t mind seeing made public.
•Be sure that any sarcasm or humor is translated in your words to avoid misunderstandings.
•Do not forward chain letters.
•Obey all copyright laws.
•Keep messages brief.
•Do not forward chain letters.
•Use distribution lists carefully.

The Study’s netiquette guideline includes more information about general informal email usage. It address issues such as using all capital letters, “flaming”, SPAM, and electronic trails. This seems to appeal more to the younger population who has been sending rude and offensive emails at LSU.

The Linfield’s netiquette guidelines also address “flaming” but only in the instance of the student sending them. The Study’s “flaming” guideline only addresses what to do when receiving the abusive message. Linfield mentions to not leave email account open at a computer when you are away which is definitely a suggestion that applies to all college students using public computers.

After careful consideration and comparison between both forms of netiquette, Linfield and Study Guide and Strategies, my choice would have to lie with Linfield. The netiquette policy at Linfield University has already been instituted for their student body. This is a policy that has been tailored for college students, while this is not as stringent of a policy that one would find in the work place for professionals, it is not so lax that students can misinterpret its meaning. Currently, most students use e-mail for personal correspondence more than for business correspondence, because the student is more familiar with sending an e-mail to a friend rather and co-worker or boss, the knowledge of proper netiquette has not been instilled. It is better to start promoting proper practices early on in a students college years rather than sending him or her into the work place without the proper netiquette.

You have "do not forward chain letters" twice.

In this paragraph:
Linfield mentions to not leave email account open at a computer when you are away which is definitely a suggestion that applies to all college students using public computers.

it should be re-worded. For example: Linfield advices you to not leave email accounts open at a ….etc.

In this paragraph:
Currently, most students use e-mail for personal correspondence more than for business correspondence, because the student is more familiar with sending an e-mail to a friend rather and co-worker or boss, the knowledge of proper netiquette has not been instilled

the words after rather should be "than a"

In this paragraph:
The Study’s netiquette guideline includes more information about general informal email usage. It address issues such as using all capital letters, “flaming”, SPAM, and electronic trails. This seems to appeal more to the younger population who has been sending rude and offensive emails at LSU.

should be "it addresses issues such as"

In this paragraph:
It is better to start promoting proper practices early on in a students college years rather than sending him or her into the work place without the proper netiquette.

it should be "student's college years".

Hope this helps.

I never ever weighed myself until this morning, when I wanted to see my progress. I couldn't believe what I saw!

I weigh 15 and a half stone! 100kg. But I'm not fat, at all! I dont understand this. To the BMI I'm "obese". I was online straightaway to research this. I found this. – is this true?

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/bmi-comparison.gif

I feel really upset – i'm twice the size of victoria beckham but im not fat :-/

(sorry to put this in singles & dating just dont one was looking at health questions)

What kinds of exercising are you doing? If it is weights, you are probably building muscle mass, which can add pounds but it doesn't mean that you are overweight. In fact, most of the BMI calculators will say that it is just a guide and does not take into account your overall fitness level.
