Qatar, host of the 15th Asian held on Dec. 1-15, is progressively getting dressed up for the sporting event.

Qatar was preparing the Games for the last two years. All infrastructures are now ready for the games. Besides roads are being widened, some buildings are also getting redesigned or renovated, while some are demolished to make room for new ones. The Qataris want to prepare the perfect games. On Oct. 8th. The Asian Games Committee launch the start of the Doha Asian Games Torch Relay procession at the Doha Golf Club. The torch will travel through fifteen countries, covering a distance of 55,000 kilometres, or about 30,000 miles, in 55 days, a record for the longest ever Asian Games Torch Relay procession in the Asian games history. The torch will make stops in India, Korea, the Philippines, Japan, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Iran, Oman, the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain. The torch will be carried by around 3,500 torch-bearers and will finally culminate its journey when it enters the state-of-the-art Khalifa Stadium on Dec. 1, 2006.

In fact Qatar, with a budget of $2.8 billion, has been heavily preparing the Asian Games because the Qatar Olympic association is eyeing another event: the 2016 Olympics. Therefore the Asian games' failure or success may determine their chance to host the Olympics. For a long time Qatari leaders have been focusing on making Qatar the sports capital of the Middle East. The bottom line of the Qatari leaders has been that with the hosting of the games Qatar will be able to bring in tourists which they prefer to call "sports tourism". Qatar is hoping for an increase of tourism starting in 2009, the same time as when the new Doha airport would be ready.

Qatar also planned to make best use of the sports infrastructure which is being constructed for the games. For instance the eleven new state-of-the-art stadiums would be utilized throughout the year for the football league. In addition, the athlete village built at a cost of $450 million would be handed over to Hamad hospital and would provide for lodging and other facilities for the nurses and guests at the hospital. The Qatari leaders also want to turn Hamad hospital into the leading health care centre in the region.

If you are with a man who does not like you the way you are for whatever reason: he prefers blondes, big breasts, small breasts, French braids, big women, small women, blue women, or green men run to the nearest exit because there must be a mutual attraction. Don't think that you will change his mind, desire is natural. Don't become his sexual habit because he has gotten accustom to using you. Some women may not agree with this but: Yes, you do want your man to lust after you like the whore in the hot pants whom he swears he wasn't watching.

Except yourself for who you are - the way you are, then surround yourself with people who feel the same way as you do. For example, everyone doesn't like McDonald's hamburgers, right? But it doesn't make sense for the creator to worry about the people who will never eat Big Macs but, make sure that the people who like his hamburger can't get enough. No matter how much you enjoy your favorite food, you don't want it everyday. But the important factor is that your favorite food has become part of your staple diet and you can't imagine living your life without it. Become his favorite food.

The very first thing that you must do is express your unique personality. You need to completely understand that there is no other woman in the world like you. Therefore, you are an extraordinarily, unique, special individual. However, on the flip side, you are no different than any other woman, you have eyes, nose, buttocks, thighs, breasts, vagina, and legs. There will always be one that is bigger, better, smaller, larger, firmer and tighter than yours.

What makes a woman truly irresistible and desirable contains two components 70% her inner beauty and 30% how she presents her physical assets. Her inner beauty is the totality of her ability to exude her unseen attributes i.e. personality, opinions, talent, kindness, and mannerisms freely and authentically. Additionally, she must learn what her physical assets are and accentuate and display them with confidence.

1. Don't be afraid to be who you really are. Speak your mind, be open, honest and interesting. Don't speak negatively about other people it makes you look petty. Talk about ideas. Be yourself! Be yourself! (This is not a typo) Don't worry about whether or not other people like you.

2. What is your best physical asset? Is it your eyes, breasts, legs? You should know this information second to your name. Whatever your physical assets are play them up.

3. Buy clothes that compliment your soul and your body. If you walk in a store and see an outfit that looks like it was made with you in mind, or leaving it in the store feels like you left a part of yourself behind; this is a must buy. Learn which colors, brands and styles compliments you the most and stick with what works. What looks or smells good on another women won't necessarily have the same affect on you.

4. We all get a little lazy sometimes, but enough can not be said about personal hygiene. Pay attention to your finger and toe nails. Shave your legs and under your arms. Go that extra mile for yourself. Buy the vaginal washes that kills bacterial odor so that you will still smell fresh after a long day. Gels to whiten your teeth are not expensive, purchase them. A good rule of thumb to remember is: If he licked you from head to toe what would you taste and smell like. Take care of yourself accordingly.

5. Be unpredictable. Don't wear panties when he least expects it and wear long johns to bed just when he thought he could take you for granted. Men are socialized to be stimulated by the thrill of the hunt, to be challenged and competitive. Ask yourself: If I were a I man would I chase after me. What kind of prey are you? Easy. Mysterious. Complex. Humans value things that they believe are not easily obtained and priceless.

6. No matter how beautiful or attractive you are if you can't develop an emotional bond or attachment with your male. He must think about you when you are not around. There are several ways to do this, but the effectiveness depends solely on the type of man he is. Don't forget to understand the nature of the object you wish to possess. Here are a few suggestions:

Don't be a doormat. Be a little assertive, but fair. Men love women who are challenging, poised and assertive. Don't hold a grudge or brag, let by-gones be by-gones but stand your ground and move on.

Be a little needy. Ask him to fix your car, unplug the toilet, put your entertainment center together. Everyone wants to feel loved and needed- not used! Let him know that he is your macho man. This will only work if you are self-sufficient and independent. He will be complimented that you trust him enough to lean on him. Use this technique sparingly, it can be an extreme turn-off if used too often. Remember for a man: It's only sexy to be needed by someone who doesn't need him. The turn-on is the fact that you chose him.

7. Be his best friend, lover, girlfriend, wife and business consultant wrapped into one person. Listen to him when he talks about his day, friends, problems, concerns. Go have a drink with him at the bar and if a good-looking woman strolls in, you be the first to compliment her. Confidence is sexy.

8. Make love with the lights on no matter what size or shape your body is. When it's dark you can be substituted for any woman. Let him see your nipples rise to his touch, the goose pimples that cover your skin as he kisses your neck, and the expression on your face when he becomes a part of you. He can't see this at the restaurant or while you are watching television together. Let him see what he does to you as a woman.

9. Before you be irresistibly sexy to your male partner, you must first learn do your homework to learn his definition of sexy. Make it a game if you can but you must find the answer to these questions: What helps him relax; what makes him feel close to you; what stimulates his senses; what arouses him sexually; what gives him pride. Learn what stimulates his five senses, touching, smelling, hearing, seeing and tasting. He is a unique individual, all men do not enjoy the same activities. The more you learn about how to please him; the more special you will become to him. Do your homework.

10. Lighten up, have a sense of humor and learn how to create a naughty mood. Flirt with him. They say the basic male instinct is to hunt, and when the chase is over, the romance dissolves. Send him on a hunt and just when thinks he can't win, coyly, offer him your lips and body. Give him eye contact when talking to him. Seek to connect with his soul. This may include a warm bath or a slice of pie while he is watching his favorite sport on television. Learn how to balance his delicate need for tenderness, love and acceptance with challenge, excitement and adventure.

Football (English/Euro) is 1 of my passions. Last WorldCup, I got cable just for that spectacular month. GeneralHospital is the only TV that I ever watch, but for that July, I was glued to the box like any other normal, crazed person!

There was an enlightenment course that I wanted to do around that time. I arranged things just right for uninterrupted World Cup! No way was I going anywherewhen there were games to be watched! Hell no!

7 months pregnant with my 2nd child, I lived and died for football that month. It really fed my soul. It actually was a great lead-in to my awakening that August on TheAvatar Course.

I was in heaven. My team, Brazil, won everything! I was ecstatic! I cheered, I danced, I jumped up and down likea crazy person. I sang, I screamed and had a great party through all hours of the night.

I was relieved that my country of origin - Jamaica - was not in the World Cup. How could I bear to watch JA playBrazil? Who would I pick to win? Damn. My national anthem and the Reggae Boyz, or my Brazilian men withthe exotic, and hypnotizing moves? Thank God I didnt have to choose! Relief...

This year, the World Cup finals are the exact same week that I had decided to be in service as an Avatar Master for 1 of our International courses in Florida.

Oh my God. I considered not going to the course. So, naturally, 1 of my sisters who has never, ever been interested in self-help, now decides to show an interest in her spiritual awakening!

Enlightenment? Not now honey, I have men to watch on TV! Whats the karma for that?

Okay, so I will show up.

I put my Avatar tools to good use to creatively explore assisting others with their awakening, doing my reading and writing assignments, taping my 2 or 3 games a night, watching every one and still walking up fresh and present for you the next morning!

Of course I can have it all! Now Im living! Being fully present in the moment, so alive that my heart is burstingopen with excitement, joy and passion. Thats living. Bring it on baby!

When you find something you love, go for it, revel in it, soak it up! Enjoy being with it in that moment, for that is all that there is.

The moment.

The Dallas Diamonds are a women's professional football team. They are based in Dallas and have been the back to back champions for the last two years.

One of their newer recruits is Brittany Bridge a volleyball coach who has doubled as a hard-hitting defensive back in the football team. Bridge may be a rookie but she now plays most of the game and has taken control of the ball a few times. She is only 5 foot 6 inches and 125 pounds and had never played contact sport until now, but she is pretty tough.

Another player is Kasia Reese. When she played fifth grade football she never managed to get the ball because she was a girl. She is now the rookie receiver for the Dallas Diamonds. There are still some men who think her, and they, are something to laugh at. They only think this until they see the aggressive tackles and offensive and defensive line players who weigh more than 200 pounds. They are sceptical at first but, once they go and see a game, they change their outlook.

They play at Birdville Stadium in North Richland Hills. Their season begins on July 22.

According to Ms Reese, the women earn a pittance. So small is this amount that it does not even cover the amount of money she pays for gas to take her to practice. The hours are also taxing since they drain the time she could be spending with her husband and three kids. Since she is not getting compensation it amounts to a point of pride and the love of the sport that keeps her going. She has recruited a friend of hers, Donna Valdepena to football as well.

Another player is Karen Seimears. She is in her fourth year as quarterback for them. As well as this, she is the Director of the Media Technology Department at Shannon Learning Centre in Haltom City.

The 2006 Championship Weekend is to be held in Roswell Georgia. There is also going to be a WPFL Women's Conference focusing on women's health, sports and business. A Youth Clinic will also be open to youth aged 6 to 18. This is the eighth season for the WPFL (Women's Professional Football League) and it is committed to furthering the opportunities for women in football. There are now 17 teams in the leagues and it continues to build each year.

Players in the women's teams like Dallas Diamonds can be as rough and tumble as those in the boys' clubs. The team in 2005 crushed one team so severely that this opposing team quit in the third quarter. In another game, the Diamonds beat a scoreless team by 90 points. Now, the Dallas Diamonds are aiming for another championship victory.

Gifts should come from the heart, not your pocketbook! Coming up with gift ideas on a budget may seem difficult at first. Put some thought into your gifts and you will be rewarded not only with lower costs but more practical, useful, gifts for the recipient.

Giving gifts from the heart, instead of the pocketbook can relieve a lot of stress during holidays and special occasions. Gifts thought out carefully and directed towards an individual's needs and interests are much more appreciated.

Giving the gift that "Keeps on Giving" is easy if you choose a gift that reflects the recipient's interests or needs and is useful to them. Consider gift ideas you can make yourself. Hand made gifts are almost always lower cost than store bought alternatives.

Some Tips to reduce expenses, and relieve stress:

• Avoid compulsive buying.
• Stay organized and calm - If you do your research, you'll know when it's a bargain.
• Shop early - I know you always say you will. This time DO IT! Buy gifts one by one as you come up with good gift ideas and good bargains!
• Make a list and check it twice! It always worked for Santa!
• Plan ahead - Include gifts and holidays in your budget's variable expense account. You'll have the funds when you need them.
• Stay within your budget - it is possible.

Here are just a few great low cost gift ideas....

Give someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen a personalized apron and/or a cookbook! Or create a basket with kitchen tools, recipes, mixes, spices, etc.

Magazine subscriptions can be purchased for as low as $3.99/year.Give a gift that "keeps on giving" all year long! You can find magazines on just about any topic.

New or gently used books.

Family photos or personalized photo albums make great gifts for relatives or friends.

DVDS/Videos - You can never lose with this one. Everyone loves a good movie! Buy when they're on sale throughout the year.

Create a personalized gift basket based on the person's interests or needs.

• Personal Care - fill with hair, nail or skin care products
• Crafter's Supplies - yarn, ribbon, paints, paint brushes, glues, projects, knitting or crochet supplies, drawing pencils, etc. Just take a walk around the craft store for more ideas.
• Food - This one is timeless! Bake a favorite recipe that you know the recipient is crazy about. Add a variety of cookies, fudge and candy. Homemade baking mixes and quick breads. If you bake yourself, it's a nice touch to add the recipe with the goods. Use decorative stickers or tie on with pretty ribbons. Baking mixes can be put in jars with decorative tops. Always include recipes for uses with mixes! Be considerate of those with health concerns or who are dieting. Include healthy varieties of the above or add fruits, nuts, and diet specific goodies.
• Personalized Totebags or T-shirts - Great for kids or adults! This one is a favorite of mine. Create a unique design and/or saying on your computer that suits the person. Print onto transfer paper specifically designed for this purpose (available at most office supply or craft stores. Usually comes with instructions.)

There's nothing more appreciated than a personalized gift. And, everytime it's used, you think of the person who gave it to you. It gives you a feeling of importance somehow. Shows that the giver "really" had you in mind when the gift was made or purchased. And, it's likely to be a gift that doesn't get tossed in the closet, attic, or basement, after you leave!

A little creativity can go a long way toward helping you make money doing things you enjoy. Take a look at some of the suggestions here, then think about ways you can get paid to do what you love to do.

Get paid to shop - Mystery shopping is a great way to make money in your spare time by providing valuable customer service feedback to businesses. It's flexible and fun, and just about anyone can do it. The most important quality you need is to be reliable. It also helps to be observant and have good writing skills. Mystery shopping is done around the world, so there are probably mystery shops being done in your neighborhood right now. For more information, get a copy of The Mystery Shopper's Manual at http://www.idealady.com/. The book includes a list of 150 companies hiring shoppers across the US and Canada and around the world, along with lots of insider tips.

Get paid to talk - You've seen those people handing out samples in the grocery store or demonstrating a product at the home show. They get paid to do that, and you can, too. To be good at this, you need an outgoing personality. You have to be willing to speak up and get people to try what you're offering, take a coupon, or watch your demonstration. You can find these jobs by watching the help wanted ads in your local newspaper. For more information, see http://www.narms.com/.

Get paid to party - Direct sales companies, such as Tupperware, Pampered Chef and others, offer a great way to make extra money or launch a lucrative new career. You get paid to go to parties, do product demonstrations and take orders. You set your own schedule, so you can fit work into your life, not try to squeeze life in around a job. For more information, see the Direct Selling Association at http://www.dsa.org/.

Don't want to be a sales representative? You can get free products by hosting a party in your home. Look for a local representative in your phone book and ask how you can earn free products by hosting a party.

Get paid to be in the movies - You don't have to live in Hollywood to be an extra in a movie or TV show. Your city or state probably has a film commission where you can get information about upcoming productions. Do an Internet search for "film commission" and your city or state to find them. My local film commission regularly lists opportunities to be an extra in movies or TV shows, be a crew member on an independent film, or even to get paid to be in the audience of a TV show.

Get paid to drive - If it seems as if you are always in your car, or your car is often parked in a high-traffic area, you can use your car to make money by getting it painted with an ad. Advertisers look at what kind of car you drive, its condition, where and how much you drive, how many people see the car when it's parked and other factors when choosing cars for these promotions. If you and your car are what they're looking for, they will pay you to show their ad on your car. (More info: http://www.autowraps.com/)

Get paid for your opinions - Participating in focus groups and other market research doesn't provide regular income, and there are often limits on how often you may participate. However, I've got lots of opinions, and I'm always happy when I can get paid for them! I've been paid for opinions on music, clothes, and even the scent of a laundry product. You can increase your chances of getting selected by registering with market research companies. Check your phone directory or the local mall to find one in your area.

There are also many places online where you can get paid to write opinions or reviews, or to fill out surveys. Make sure you understand how you will be paid before spending a lot of time on this. Many sites pay in credits that can only be redeemed with them, but some pay in cash.

Get paid to do your own thing - When you can make money doing something you love to do, it doesn't feel like work at all. My main career involves speaking and writing, both things I enjoy. I've also been paid for my opinions, made money as a mystery shopper and been a movie extra! Use your imagination to find ways to make money while doing what you enjoy. I call it "Solo-reneuring" and that's how I've made my living for more than eight years. Do you love animals? Start a pet sitting or dog walking service. If you enjoy crafts, dance or playing an instrument, you may be able to teach a class or offer private instruction to people who want to learn what you know. For more information about Solo-preneuring, see http://www.idealady.com/solo.htm.

General information - When considering any of these opportunities, make sure you understand what you will be asked to do and how you will be compensated. Then you can decide if it is worth your time and effort.

Be careful about paying to be listed in data bases. Some companies charge you to apply with no guarantee of work. You may be paying for a legitimate opportunity, or you may just be saying goodbye to $20 or more. Find out what you will get before paying a fee.

You probably won't get rich doing these things, but you can get paid to do things you enjoy. Even if you don't make a million dollars, your life will be richer for the joy and satisfaction you get from your work--and you'll have at least a few extra dollars in your pocket!

Weve all been at a point in our romantic relationships when trouble seems to brew more than ever before. Part of being in a committed relationship is working through those times when not everything is picture perfect. When people think of counseling they often think of marriage counseling embarking on periodic meetings with professional therapists in order to save a marriage. But relationship counseling applies to all manner of relationships whether married or not and can help you achieve a level of communication and understanding previously unknown in your relationship.

Relationship counseling is nothing to be ashamed of and, if entered into with a professional, reputable therapist, can affect great change in your relationship and your life in general. Many people find that they require relationship counseling because of a particularly stressful period in their lives. Work stress, financial woes, and family issues can put an inordinate amount of stress on a relationship and sometimes it requires the assistance of a third party in order to make things better.

Couples turn to relationship counseling for a variety of reasons both large and small. Sometimes such counseling can simply help a couple learn how to better communicate with each other and meet each others needs to the best of their abilities. We all come into a relationship with our own ingrained way of communicating; and often we may as well be speaking a different language to each other. Relationship counseling can help us redefine our ideals and find a common ground on which to communicate.

In some cases, the reasons for seeking relationship counseling are much larger; infidelity, financial hardship, and even abusive situations all warrant bringing a professional into the mix who can offer objective advice and help the couple determine the best course of action. In some cases, this may mean the eventual end to the relationship if it is unhealthy to stay together. But relationship counseling can help you understand what is most important to each of you as individuals.

Entering into relationship counseling, however, means finding a reputable professional who can work with you as a couple. Do not simply go through the yellow pages to find a counselor. Work with your insurance carrier or primary care physician to find relationship counseling that comes with reputable standing. Finally, meet with the therapist before embarking on counseling to make sure that you both feel comfortable with the choice.

There are many couples who find themselves involved in relationship counseling eventually. And while the process can be uncomfortable and even painful, the end result can be so worth the work bringing the couple to new heights of happiness and understanding.
