How the body Uses Amino Acids
The body requires amino acids to function properly. You may have heard that protein fuels the body, but it is more correct to recognise that it is the amino acids from those proteins that make your body function at optimum levels.
Amino acids are formed in the body when proteins break down. These amino acids then find their way to the body systems where they are most needed. The more proteins you consume on a daily basis the more healthy amino acids your body produces.
The Science Behind Amino Acids
Every time you eat foods containing proteins or take a protein supplement you are increasing your body's ability to perform. Proteins, once ingested, travel directly to your stomach. Once in the stomach these proteins break down into amino acids. Once in the stomach the amino acids combine with digestive and other hormones and are directed to the different body systems that depend on them for proper functioning.
The circulatory system, the endocrine system, the skeletal system, and the muscular system all use amino acids in their day to day functioning. The amount of amino acids available to these systems depends on the amount of protein you consume. Whole proteins, that contain essential amino acids, are a necessary part of any healthy diet. Meats, soy, fish, meat, and eggs all provide your body with needed protein.
Why Supplement?
Athletes are well aware that their bodies consume nutrients are a higher rate than non-athletes. You may already be aware of the many supplements available to help build muscle mass, control weight, and improve overall fitness. What you might not realise is the importance of adding protein supplements to your diet to increase your amino acid production.
It is important to consume protein throughout the day for amino acids to constantly form and find their way to the places in your body they are most needed. For a body builder this place would be the muscular system. Amino acids will work to help build lean muscle mass and improve your general fitness to work out.
Protein Supplements
Protein supplements can be found in many forms. Protein bars, protein shakes, and protein powders can all be used to supplement your diet. You can look for bodybuilding supplements that contain certain amino acids known to help with muscle building. These important amino acids are:
* Arginine works to stimulate your body's growth hormone.
* Lysine feeds your circulatory system and boosts your immune system. This is the amino acid that should be consumed for excellent health.
* Methionine is used by the body's cells for protein synthesis, an important step in building lean muscle mass. It also helps with kidney and liver function.
* Phenylalanine helps to regulate your body's metabolism.
* Glutamine works to increase cell production. This amino acid is necessary for building muscle mass.
Amino acids, when consumed in body building supplements, will help slow muscles from deteriorating during intense workouts. To make sure you are getting the proper amount of proteins in your diet for the forming of amino acids you will want to take protein supplements to make up for what natural foods are not giving you.

Italy: A land of low Birth Rate
Declining Birth Rates of Italy
Italy, as we all know, is the world center of the Catholic Church. Strangely, in spite of its deep-rooted Catholic culture and tradition, it has today changed into a nation having the second lowest birth rates in Europe, next only to Spain. At 1.2 per woman that means one child per woman, according to Global Agenda Magazine.
It was brought out in an article in April 2004 in the Sunday Telegraph that Swedens Birth rate was close to Italys though 50% higher. In order to arrest this situation, the Italian Government started offering 1,000 euros to every woman who had a second child.
Other traditionally Catholic nations, like Ireland and France, have the highest and second highest birth rates in Europe. Even Sweden has a 50% higher birth rate in comparison to Italy. These increased numbers may be due to better government-controlled child and health care facilities as well as incentives for families that have more children.
Ireland and France, on the other hand, other traditionally Catholic countries, have the first and second highest birth rates in Europe. These numbers may be explained by more generous government-funded child and health care and benefits for families that have children.
It is a cause of concern that this trend will result in having a large number of people who are old and there are only a few people contributing gainfully to the society. This situation is likely in countries like Russia, Japan, Italy and other eastern European countries. This phenomenon of low birth rates is being studied by people who study social and public policy in Europe.
They believe that in the past, having children was a way of investing in ones old age security. This meant that if one had more children he had more hands to help with farming and the family business as well as more people to take care of him in his old age. With the introduction of pension systems where you pay for your own future security, the older people have become less dependent on their children for their financial needs and this has had a major impact on birth rates.
They also feel that since people have to pay higher taxes to support these kinds of social programmes, they have lower disposable incomes and less money to meet the expenses of bringing up more children.
Another cause for the declining birth rate is the fact that more women are working full-time during their childbearing years. Child-care programmes of different countries vary. For example, Norway has better financial and infrastructure facilities as compared to Italy. Norwegian day-care centers are government funded and mothers have the option to work part-time, without affecting their position at work. They also get longer maternity leave.
It is important to seriously start thinking as to how the people of today in Italy will be supported when they grow old. Nevertheless this problem of low birth rate is definitely better than the problem that comes with very high population growth.

Facial Exercise Melts Double Chins
Double chins are move prevalent now than ever before as people exhibit the telltale signs of weight gain. Yes, obesity is a world wide health epidemic and it affects more than just our waist lines.
Funny thing about our bodies…you can cover up a somewhat overweight body using loose clothes, black tops and slacks and even some long jackets can disguise body flaws but there is nothing that can camouflage that hanging flesh under our chins that absolutely ages every face.
Double chins are worn by both men and women, yet while wearing extra pounds of flesh may indeed be displayed under our jaw; sagging chins are the result of the extra weight impacting the very large, dense neck muscle.
If you see a double chin in your mirror, just know that your facial muscles are definitely sagging and elongating, too.
Facial muscles can elongate up to one-half inch by the time your face is 55 years old. This elongation gives you hooded eyes, sagging cheeks, jowls, pouches and the dreaded wattle can, over time, become a full-blown double chin.
Medical professionals would like you to believe that liposuction is the ideal solution to remedy a big chin that detracts from your good looks.
What if you cannot afford a large cash outlay? Maybe you have diabetes or take high blood pressure medication; did you know that certain medication might interfere with a successful procedure? Maybe you just cringe at the thought of someone manipulating a cannula under your skin. What about significant risk to your good health?
What if you choose liposuction and you do not like the results? What can you do about dents and lumps? What if your results look unnatural? What is your remedy? Do you hope the surgeon will refund your money? That is highly unlikely.
Many people who desire a younger looking face have decided to choose a path that involves an all natural, alternative method – one that does not create health risks and one that guarantees that you will look exactly like yourself only younger and certainly recognizable.
This alternative method is facial exercise that uses resistance and isometric contraction of the muscles. When these methods are employed, the facial muscles strengthen and lift, creating a more youthful face in just hardly any time at all.
Most medical practitioners have been leery to recommend facial exercise to their clients because many programs consist of twists, puckers, contortions and movements of the face that are mostly laughable. Everyone would indeed be right to avoid those unlikely expressions because repetitive movements can accentuate existing lines and wrinkles. Repeated contortions might even create lines and wrinkles.
Using isometric with resistance facial exercise applies the same principles to the face that are used for the body. This type of exercise training plumps up the muscles and muscle groups with oxygenated blood, the skin acts youthful and a new smoothness develops in your face.
Will you look like you did at 20? Not exactly but you will enjoy an improved, lifted, and tightened face and neck. That double chin will begin to melt away as muscles strengthen and return to a more youthful position.
Most plastic surgery procedures hope to help you look ten years younger but often the recipient of surgery only looks like they have had work done, not necessarily any younger. Surgery is risky business and economically there is a lot of money involved for temporary, risky procedures.
Facial exercise that uses resistance and isometric retraining of the facial muscles produces amazing results that can surpass facial plastic surgery results. Surgery creates flat, taut faces that usually look unnatural and if laser techniques are applied, faces appear shiny and eerie looking and possibly unrecognizable.
Injections that plump and paralyze facial features do not look natural; strings, electro-stimulation, and other modalities are not youthfully complimentary.
Your best bet to erase the years? Your thumbs and fingers. Anchoring facial muscles to generate a contraction is the ticket to a lifetime of facial fitness.
Imagine looking in the mirror after only a few weeks of using facial exercise to see a younger version of yourself peering back at you. That double chin and sagging face that caused a lack of self-confidence can be substantially eliminated using facial exercise for just minutes a day. Your self-esteem will soar and you will be delighted with your results.
Exercise is a very inexpensive modality that brings sustainable results. What do you have to lose? Only your tired, out of shape face. Just give it a try!

Why Do Cats Eat Grass?
Some cat owners make the mistake of preventing their cat from eating grass. There are various reasons for this, one being that they think it makes their cat ill or upsets their stomach. This is an incorrect assumption and in fact the eating of grass followed by regurgitation is a perfectly natural behavior for all cats.
Cats do not possess the ability to separate meat from fur bones or feathers before eating like we do so they have to eat the digestible parts along with the indigestible parts. When the cat has finished digesting what he can the rest has to be removed from the system. To try and pass this through the digestive tract could cause obstruction and severe illness so this is where grass eating comes in.
The habit of eating grass triggers the natural process of regurgitation of indigestible foods including its own fur balls which would otherwise obstruct the system. This can appear to us humans as if the cat is being violently ill but this is not the case and in fact is very beneficial to the cat.
What about other plants and vegetables?
Cats cannot produce the enzymes needed to break down plant matter. Even when pureed or powdered, vegetables simply pass through the digestive tract without leaving any of their nutritional content. This alone is not harmful to your cat, but when undigested plant matter mixes with highly digestible food such as meat, indigestion and other complications may occur. Grass is an exception however; some cats compulsively eat grass when you leave them outdoors. This will cause them to regurgitate the indigestible matter, including raw vegetables.
If your cat is unable to get access to grass he may attempt to eat your house plants instead. This could be dangerous because some house plants and flowers are toxic to cats, so if you have a house cat like a Ragdoll cat for example you should provide a regular supply of potted grass to prevent him looking elsewhere. And most importantly do not punish your cat for regurgitating on to you carpet because he will not know why you are punishing him. Regurgitation is an involuntary action of your cat's stomach so he could not stop it happening even if he tried. Cleaning up after the occasional regurgitation should be an accepted part of being a loving cat owner as they are only doing what comes naturally.

Can Fat Turn Into Muscle Or Muscle Into Fat?
Can muscle turn into fat or fat turn into muscle? How many time have you heard this hilarious fats and muscles myth?
Yes, this is one fats and muscles myth that will never go away. Get this straight. Fat will never turn into muscle and muscle will never turn into fat.
The reason is simple. Your body fats and muscles are made up of completely different cell structure and they are so different that they cannot be converted to each other. Your muscle is very much alive and work very hard whereas fat just sits there doing nothing and just plain looking ugly. How can they be the same or can be converted to each other?
How did this fitness myth come about then? Well, let me offer some suggestions.
When a fat person train with weights, he will build muscles and then for his muscle definition to show, he will have to lose fat. He will do cardio exercises and eat healthily to achieve a healthy fat loss. When that is accomplished, he will revealed a lean muscular body because he has already packed on some muscle mass and have lost a substantial amount of body fat from his lose fats and build muscles program.
So when people see his new found lean muscular body and noticed that his body fat is now gone, some will comment that his fats has turned into muscles. Isn't that a nonsensical comment? Not just nonsensical, it is downright hilarious.
Now, just say that this same guy has lost his motivation to train for whatever reasons and because he no longer wants to maintain his lean muscular body, he naturally will lay off exercises and start to eat unhealthily. Gradually, he will put on body fat because of his unhealthy diet and the fact that he no longer exercise to burn calories. Then as he put on more fat, the fat begins to cover up his muscles and his muscles are no longer noticeable.
Ahhhh....these same people who do not know the biology of muscle and fat will proclaim that his muscles has turned into body fat. Well, these chaps must be magicians or how else can muscle turn into fat or fat turn into muscle?
Why am I exposing this fat and muscle myth? Because it is funny? Well perhaps that too. But the main reason is that this fat and muscle myth has put alot of people away from exercising to build muscles and continue to indulge in unhealthy eating habits by proclaiming that there is no point building muscles because once they stop, they will get fat. Again, this is rubbish because most of them are fat to begin with anyway. It is just a lazy excuse not to exercise and eat healthily.
So if you have friends who tout this fat and muscle myth to you, send them this article. You may be doing them a great favor when they realised the truth and head for the gym to build some muscles and lose some body fat.
Then what about you? Are now convinced that muscle will never turn into fat and fat into muscle? If not, write to me and tell me why.

Learn How To Dunk or 10 Tips on Improving Your Vertical Jump
Let's be blunt about it: if you play basketball, there's two leagues of people - those who can dunk, and those who cannot. Although you might think it's just a question of height, this is not at all the case. Of course, being tall helps, but even average height people - 5ft 9 or 5ft 10 - can learn to perform amazing dunks. How? It's obvious - by improving their vertical jump. Now, there is a lot of ways to skin the jumping cat, but not all are equally effective (and some can actually be rather dangerous). I've put together a collection of tips and tricks that helped me improve my vertical jump from near nothing (after knee surgery on my jump leg and rehabilitation) to over 30 inches within 9 months.
Tip 10) Always warm up before exercise. Trying to push your muscles to the max without warming up appropriately before (with light exercises such as running up or down stairs, or jumping with a jumprope) is a bad idea and can easily lead to strains and other problems.
Tip 9) A basic jumping exercise is the squat with weight. While standing, slowly bend your knees with your back straight. Go down pretty low (you shouldn't feel any pain or be uncomfortable), then slowly go back up. Doing this slow is key for building up quad muscle volume and power. Start without weights and increase difficulty by gradually raising the number of repetitions. People with major jumping power can easily do 100+ such squats. If you hold a weight such a dumbbell or barbell, hold it behind your head, in one vertical line with your spine.
Tip 8) Separate weight training days from speed/plyometric days. Medical studies have shown that mixing these different types of exercises is actually bad for the results.
Tip 7) Use jumping rope. Although sometimes shunned as "uncool", it is the basic plyometric exercise and one of the best ways to improve the explosiveness and power of your legs.
Tip 6) Never relax and let go during your waking time. During my rehab, I was hell-bent on getting my leg back to the same power level as before, and beyond that. I didn't just exercise every day - I did it nearly permanently. Of course, you can't do heavy squats or plyometrics all the time because your legs can just do so much until they tire. However, even little things like walking toe-heel style instead of flat-footed, standing on half-bent legs while doing household stuff, or playing with your quads and calves while sitting, are very effective when done regularly over a long period of time.
Tip 5) Calf exercise. It's not only the big upper leg muscle groups that determine your total jump height. Powerful calves can easily add another couple of inches that you may be missing for a resounding dunk. The basic calf exercise is toe raises: stand upright, raise on your toes, go down, and repeat it 50-100 times. When your calves feel hot and burning, it's time to make a break. A somewhat better variation is: stand on some stable horizontal ledge only with your toes and front part of the foot. Hold yourself at something with your hand. Go down with your heels about 30-45 degrees below the ledge, then push up until you are on your toes. Repeat as many times as you need to tire your calves. Again, key is slow and steady. Don't pump up and down. It may be easier, but the effect is nowhere near the same.
Tip 4) Don't overwork your leg muscles. Our muscles grow best when subjected to a cycle-wise load: a heavy workout, then a day of rest or just light exercise. To push your maximum jumping ability, you need the large leg muscles to perform at their peak (and beyond). When overworked, they are unable to deliver that performance, and your jump does not improve despite exercising. A sign of overworking is when your leg muscles ache or burn.
Tip 3) Don't just jump. Focus on jumping completely. With every jump, aim to leap as high as you can. Scientific tests have shown that persistent focus on a physical activity improves the results by 10-20% on average.
Tip 2) Don't expect results too soon, and never give up. I know several guys who bought expensive plyometric programs or jumpsoles expecting some kind of miracle within a few days. There's no such thing though, so once they didn't see the quick results, their determination sizzled away and their jumpsoles would sit gathering dust. Although there are good programs around, there's no miracles. The only thing that will radically improve your vertical is tenacity. Exercise a lot. Regularly. Make it your habit. Do it for months. Then - and only then - the really
impressive results will come.
Tip 1) Plyometric exercise. You may have heard the word. Basically it stands for making a muscle contract immediately following relaxation, and repeating it many times. Applied to jumping in a basic case, it means that you jump, go down in the knees when you land relaxing your muscles, and immediately jump up again from the crouched position. This is tiring as hell, and for a reason - it puts the maximum stress on the large leg muscles. If you are not used to it, your legs will probably ache after a few dozen repetitions. However, nothing beats this kind of exercise if you want to improve your jump quickly.
These tips should already get you underway, but they are just the tip of the iceberg. There's a bunch of other highly effective, yet not so widely known techniques on quickly improving your vertical. Check out http://www.howtodunk.org for a lot more effective, hands-on info on learning to dunk.

Sweet things to say to your guy
Thinking of sweet things to say to your boyfriend can be difficult, especially if you are not accustomed to saying sweet things or perhaps a little shy or embarrassed.
Your boyfriend may also feel likewise so there are a few things you might want to take into account before diving in had first!
Among all the nice things to say to your boyfriend those famous three little words usually say it all but I know that you want to make it out of the ordinary and personalise it so let's talk about giving compliments...
Compliments
I love you may be a nice thing to say to your man but why do you love him? What's so special about him that you love? What has he done for you that no-one else can or why do you adore spending all of your time with him?
A good friend once told me that a compliment only meant something if it involved taking a risk. Thinking on that,what they are trying to say is that it must mean something and you must show your feelings a little for it to mean anything.
An example, we thought about the phrase "I love you", it might be a nice thing to say but would he want that or something that you took a little risk over and showed your feelings more?
For instance (Supposing this were the case) "I wondered if you ever thought about how much I adore the way you have made me be a more self assured person and love myself a lot more. That's why I love you."
See how one is a loving thing to say to your boyfriend but the other is not only sweet, it is sincere and you took a risk. Which one do you think he will appreciate more?
We've spoken of compliments, let's discuss the right way to do it...
Pick Your Time
Boys are different from us girls and it is really wise to pick your time wisely. You may think it is funny to say something slushy to your guy at a time he is speaking on the telephone to his work colleagues or he is with his pals but that sweet thing you said to your bloke will end up making him look foolish and could possibly even cause an argument.
Besides, it's preferable to catch him when you are alone and simply whisper it into his ear... Don't you think?

How to do it?
If you are having problems dreaming up of nice things to say to your guy then here is a way to quickly think of a couple and go from there...
Simply jot down 3 things he has done for you. Things that were special, adorable... anything like that. Make sure you start it with "you" and not "he."
Okay, once you've done that write down how they made you feel inside, how much you appreciated it and what it means to you.
That's it, all you've got to do is arrange them. Let's look at an example:
You...
1.You stood for 2 hours with me in the horrible rain when we first met, stood for my bus
2.You prepared food for all of my family the first time you met them
3.You always open the door for me, carry my bags and allow me to go first
It makes me...
Feel special
Feel loved
Go all tingly inside
Look forward to being with you
Glad I met you
I appreciate it...
More than anything
Immensely
More than you'll ever know
Put them together...
"I loved the way you stood for 2 hours with me in the torrential rain when we first met, waiting for my bus, it made me feel so special and I am so glad I met you, I love you more than you'll ever know."
So, mix it up and see if it feels good, if it does, you'll know...
Get started and make today the day you say some kind things to your guy!

Reviews Of Supple Drink For Arthritis & Joint Pain
Before You buy Supple Drink For Joint Pain & Arthritis? Read This First.
Can Supple Drink Really Stop Your Arthritis & Joint Pain?
Is Supple A Complete Rip Off?
There are so many different types of remedies for joint pains and osteoporosis. These remedies ranging from 'new age', such as magnet treatment and copper bracelets, to prescribed medications and certainly every has their pros and cons.
Whilst the previous remedies have no clinical evidence to show they work, the latter can cause a myriad of side outcomes, some more severe than other people. These can consist of gastrointestinal problems, liver and heart harm and internal bleeding.
A much better choice would be to make use of a medication that consists of natural ingredients and is designed to help get towards the way to obtain the problem, providing long-term relief. You will find now a amount of brands available towards the consumer for this purpose and you will find a couple of essential substances that each should include in their formula.
Supple Beverage - Based on its web site, www.supplebodies.com, is the Solution to Osteoporosis Pain in a Delicious Beverage. The company at the rear of SUPPLE, Supple Drinks, LLC., claims that SUPPLE Drink consists of "powerful elements discovered by more than 13 million people to naturally rebuild cartilage and relieve the signs and symptoms of arthritis".
The idea is that you simply beverage one bottle per evening and they claim that "you should feel a substantial distinction within 7 days and much better every week". They give a 30 day money back guarantee, but I notice from the 'fine print' that to get it you must call their Client Pleasure Dept for a Return Authorisation Number and there is a restrict of one return occasion every individual. Perfectly reasonable I suppose.
So what would be the benefits of Supple, as opposed to osteoporosis pain relief in tablet or capsule form? It is well known these days that our bodies absorb far more of any nutrient product if used in liquid organic, preferably colloidal, form, rather than tablets. More efficient absorbtion means higher beneficial impact.
SUPPLE Beverage contains glucosamine & Chondroitin, the two most common ingredients in most arthritis products, combine this with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and you have a synergistic combination to help your autoimmune system to heal and nourish inflamed joints.
SUPPLE Drink claims that their elements are superior, and are blended in a "breakthrough formulation" which provides "pharmaceutical strength" arthritis discomfort alleviation in a organic item that avoids the risks associated with drugs.
Is SUPPLE Beverage the Top Arthritis Treatment Item?
Not really
Although SUPPLE Drink is a good product and you may also find hundreds of different brands containing many unproven ingredients, not all products contain the quality and quantity of necessary elements to positively impact change and alleviation of discomfort. That's why you'll need to do a little bit of research to find the best, most potent brand for your needs.
We would like recommend you to take a look at the below, in our opinion, the top 2 organic joint discomfort & arthritis treatment product we have evaluated thus far.

How To Make Artificial Rocks - The Methods The Professionals Use!
Mixing concrete - the most important step in artificial rock making
Mixing concrete is no different than baking a cake. If you do not put the right ingredients into the mix it will not turn out properly. In fact, mixing and curing a batch of concrete is virtually identical to mixing and baking a cake. Except that the concrete bakes at room temperature!
There are many different concrete mixes and various additives and substitutions for ingredients. It is true that lightweight concrete can be created by adding vermiculite, perlite, peat moss or saw dust in place or partially in place of sand. The short answer is - yes you can do this with varying degrees of success and with more than a little trail and error. The concrete mix that is detailed below is specifically designed for two reasons:
1) Maximum strength
2) Maximum sculptability
This mix is engineered to produce a final concrete strength of 50-75 mPa. This is STRONG in fact this is VERY STRONG concrete. This will produce concrete that is far stronger than sidewalks and curbs, even stronger than swimming pool concrete and most concrete found in high rise construction.
It is important to note that you can make concrete batches of all sizes using the simple principal that the ingredients are all proportional to one another. For example the ratio of sand to cement is generally 3:1 or three parts sand to every one part cement. All other measurements in the mix will be based on the 'one part' cement that you are using. For this example the measurements are based on a standard 40kg bag of type ten portland cement being equal to one standard five gallon bucket.
respirator is a MUST as silica, concrete dust and fiberglass are dangerous to breathe!
Dry Ingredients:
-One bag type 10 portland cement
-Three buckets fine, clean washed sand
-One and 1/4 buckets un-densified silica fume
-1/4 bucket Fly Ash -Small handful of glass fibers (like a pinch of salt - not precise, but a small amount)
Wet ingredients:
-800ml of poly-plex or liquid latex (Liquid acrylic can be substituted where liquid latex is not available)
-300ml liquid water reducer
-Water**
NOTE: The liquid additives can be omitted and replaced with water with acceptable results. The water reducer and liquid latex are needed only where maximum strength and workability is essential.
**In order to make the concrete strong and workable the amount of water is critical and can change depending on a number of given criteria. For example, if the sand you are using is slightly damp you would likely need HALF the amount of water than if your sand was bone dry. If it is hot outside you may find yourself needing more water than on a cool day. Adding the correct amount of water takes practice.
Mixing the concrete ingredients is the most important stage
You can mix concrete in a mixer, a bucket or on a piece of plywood with a square head shovel. This depends on the amount of concrete you need to mix. With all methods A thoroughly mixed, well proportioned cement mix is the secret to easily workable concrete. If you are a beginner you should probably mix the concrete much longer than you would otherwise think- and it can be hard work. The best concrete mix in an entire day of pouring concrete is the one that spins in the mixer throughout a long lunch break!
Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly before getting ready to add water. You will add water in SMALL quantities mixing thoroughly between adding more. You will find that the small amounts of water that you add will get immediately absorbed by the overly dry mix and you will feel compelled to add a big splash of water. DO NOT DO THIS!
The concrete will readily absorb water to a certain point of saturation, after which seemingly a thimbleful more will reduce your fine sculpting concrete to a watery mess. Concrete that has been over watered is completely compromised in terms of strength. You may be able to add ingredients or wait a while to get some sort of useable substance but this seriously weakens the end result in an undetectable fashion to the naked eye.
Have patience with adding water and you can quickly find yourself becoming more familiar with the total amount needed on any given day. If you take the time to measure how much water you need in a mix, the next time you make it you can immediately use half the anticipated amount of water required, and add the second half very slowly to ensure that you do not over water.
Making perfect concrete mixes takes patience and practice
What you are going for with this mix is a relatively firm (not too watery) end result. The concrete should be able to be formed into a ball, but still squished between your fingers without breaking off into clumps. Instead it should almost ooze through your fingers. If you dropped a fist sized ball of concrete onto the ground from the height of your knees you should end up with an almost flat circle of concrete, but not totally flat. Pictures of the desired consistency are included in the sculpting section.
Try taking your point trowel and smoothing out the concrete like spreading icing on a cake. You should be able to get a smooth glossy-like finish by working it back and forth gently. If the concrete just spreads out to nothingness under the gentle weight of your trowel you have too much water. If the concrete tends to break apart instead of spreading smoothly you likely need just a touch more water. A little goes a LONG way at this point.
Once the concrete is mixed - pay attention to the ticking clock
You will have a few hours in most cases to work the concrete into its desired shape before it cures too much to be worked further. Direct sunlight and hot dry weather can considerably increase the curing rate of concrete so it is always better to err on the side of caution with concrete drying times as you certainly do not want a batch of concrete drying in the mixer before you can get to it. This goes for tools as well. Always keep your tools clean or you will quickly find all of your tools rendered useless by dried concrete.
You can work the concrete for a few hours, misting with water if it looks like it is drying too fast (cracking in direct sunlight). After the initial curing begins and the concrete begins to stiffen you should stop working the concrete as further disturbing will weaken the strength of the final product.
Be prepared in case you can not finish your project in a single session
If you find that you are not able to complete the project in one shot, be sure to leave your concrete work finished in an inconspicuous spot. You will always be able to see the joint between where new concrete was added to cured concrete and in most cases this will cause a weak link in the overall structure called a cold joint.
If you need to add new concrete to old concrete you must complete an additional step to ensure that the two sides bond together. You need to make a watery mix of cement, water and concrete adhesive called slurry.
Making slurry for bonding old concrete to new concrete
Prepare your new (regular) mix of concrete, cover and leave in a cool shaded place. Now you are going to make another very small mix, just enough to cover the joint where new concrete and old concrete will overlap.
Mix only water and cement powder until you have something resembling soft butter. Then add a generous dollop of glue to the mix and mix further. This soft butter looking mixture (slurry) must be applied along the entire joint where you wish to add new concrete while the slurry is still wet.
Right before you apply the slurry mix you must spray down the existing concrete piece with water so that it is thoroughly wet.
NOTE- This slurry mix dries FAST. On a hot day the slurry can cure in a matter of minutes so do not waste any time in applying the slurry to the cold joint and getting your fresh waiting concrete mix spread over top.
There are some products as well that can be purchased that will perform the job of this slurry mix. Generally these mixes are designed to set fast for joining surfaces and fixing active leaks. There are concrete mix additives that can cure in 30 seconds or even underwater to patch a leak. Many times dealing with these products you will find yourself distracted for a moment only to find your trowel firmly embedded in the solidified bucket of mixed concrete moments later. The home made slurry mix described above is much more forgiving than these commercial products and produces reliable results just the same.
Concrete takes almost a full month to reach maximum strength. All too often with beginners the anticipation gets the better of you and you end up destroying or damaging your creation by moving or working the concrete too soon after sculpting. I recommend waiting a minimum of 3 full days to begin working the concrete and a full 14 days before attempting to lift or move. Be sure to keep the concrete moist with water at least 2-3 times per day for the initial 3 days.
Now that you have a better understanding of how to make concrete that is great for sculpting artificial rocks, we can take a look at how you are going to sculpt it to look exactly like real stone.

Preteen Models
Preteen models now adorn glamorous niches in the Parthenon of modeling art. There had never been such a scope for the young adolescents in the modeling industry. Now, preteens appear in TV commercials, print media like newspapers and similar other releases, billboards, electronic marketing messages and mails, print brochures, field publicity campaigns and the like. They appear as models for lifestyle articles, health products, apparels, body lotions, cosmetics, hair oils, hair conditioners, soaps and detergents, shampoos, nail polishes, etc., etc. This phenomenon speaks volumes for the abundant opportunities awaiting preteen modeling talents across the globe, cutting across national barriers. Amongst these young talents are under-teen boys, girls and talented kind and even cute and pert babes!
The nationality and region of these preteen models is as diverse as the diversity of human talents. Among them there are young talents spanning the continents. There are Latin Americans, Americans and Canadians, Europeans belonging to virtually every nationality - Spanish, French, Portuguese, English, Scottish, Germans, Finland, Norway; Indians, Japs, Koreans and Chinese, West Asians, Australians, South Africans, etc. Unlike other specific categories of models, these preteen being young persons need to be groomed and developed by their parents or guardians. Hence those who have talented kids who could be groomed into successful models need to take the extra care and should spend quality time with their talented young children to up-bring them to become professional models. Thus, it is imperative on the part of both the parent and the child to gather sufficient knowledge and information about preteen modeling. Alongside, they need to acquire enough skill to groom the child talent.
It is a fact to reckon with that preteen modeling is often a prelude to successful fashion modeling. This aspect has been found to be true in the case of a whole host of celebrity models across the global spectrum. For instance, take the case of Lindsay Hogan or Katherine Heigl. Both these celebrity models started their career as preteen models. It seems the general principle of "catch them young" holds good for the modeling industry. May be so, as it a profession in which long and sustained grooming and workouts to keep and develop a super figure is essential. Brooke Shields confides that her success is fundamentally allied to her preteen modeling and thereafter the relentless pursuit of excellence in maintaining a super figure. Amongst preteen models, Lissane Falk is an outstanding example. Falk started her career as a child model and later she could scale the heights of being a celebrity actress.
