How to Build Strong Bones!

Orange juice is full of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that also helps facilitate calcium absorption into the body, a double benefit. So enjoy the fresh nectar of the citrus fruit while you bulk up your bones. YUMMY!
Try to avoid soft drinks.Soft drinks are hard on your health.It may be satisfying to down a soft drink on a hot day and you may even feel “safe” because you’re drinking the diet kind, avoiding calories so you won’t put on weight. But calories aren’t the only drawback in colas and other carbonated beverages; they can deplete the calcium in your bones, because they contain phosphoric acid, which makes calcium pass out of your system in the urine.

First Date

A first date can be an amazing adventure or a disasterous deadend. Well it all depends on the conversation that is involved. You have to know exactly what to say on the first date and sometimes it can be hard.
There are some things you should definitely save for a later time. Just stay calm and be yourself. First off, DO NOT spend any amount of time talking about your ex on the first date.
The first date is for you to get to know each other, not for you to have a willing audience to bash your ex. Avoid talking about family problems, he/she is interested in you not your family problems at the moment, that topic is for a another time. If your date asks you about your interests and you spend all night talking about all the things you hate, you can bet that there won’t be a second date.
Keep your comments and attitude positive. You can spend time bonding over the things you hate after you have gotten comfortable with each other.
Remember don’t be shy be yourself, show some confidence. If he/she see’s that you’re comfortable around them they’ll losen up as well.
They’ll see your laid back and chill and you guys will be talking for hours.
Make sure there are no akward moments.
Don’t keep quiet half the time, say something! Shoot some random topics, but not too random to a point they’re uncomfortable. *
One more thing ALWAYS REMEMBER to MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT!

To Reset Your iPOD

Did that iPOD of yours keep freezing?! If your iPod is frozen or won’t turn on, it may be because iPod is paused or the Hold switch is in the locked into it’s position. If that’s the case then a lock symbol appears on the screen. Slide the Hold switch to the unlocked position and check the screen. If that’s not the case then follow these steps:
1-Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2-Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
3- If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod because it’s not cooperating, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
*If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn’t set to go to sleep.
If these steps don’t work then have it checked out.
