If you plan to search for your soul mate online like the 40 million other people in the world you should be aware of a few tips that will help you along the way. Internet dating is a fast, safe and very easy way to meet people, so what do you need to know?

First off when you sign up to a dating site you need to fill out your personal information, such as age, height and body type. Do yourself a favor do not lie! It's useless to lie about yourself, likes, dislikes, occupation, etc... If you ever plan on actually meeting people in person from internet dating services, then be honest.

Photos are very important if you plan to get as many responses as possible. Men especially will search through profiles with photos only and contact people based on their appearance, so it's important to have a photo. Post a recent photo of yourself, not one that was taken 10 years ago, this can be deceiving if your appearance has changed. Ladies watch your email inbox fill up if you put a photo on your personal ad. The amount of emails you will receive will amaze you.

Try not to jump into sex talk in your profile too much, unless you are on a site like Adultfriendfinder.com. People might be scared off if they think sex is your only reason to want to meet them. We are all sexual beings however keep the sex chat in the background in the beginning.

When you do find someone you are interested in take it slow! Send a few emails back and forth, chat on instant messenger then work up to a telephone conversation. Don't ask to meet right away, and do not meet right away. You need to be smart and stay safe. When it comes time to meet in person, do so in a public place and take your own transportation. I'm not trying to scare you, it's just important to be safe, while meeting people you know very little about.

Try not to discuss previous relationships as this is a big turn off for people. No one wants to hear about negativity especially when you are first getting to know someone. Be positive and your personality will shine.

If you have already starting searching through dating sites, you can see that their is an endless supply of men and women looking for casual dating , romance and marriage. It can be overwhelming to try to find something you like because now you have too many choices compared to the real world. Don't get overwhelmed, this is easy to do. Write down what you are looking for and search for people who fit your requirements.

This might be a no brainer but do not ask someone to marry you when you first start corresponding with them. And don't say that you love them or they are your soul mate right off the bat, this might not go over too well. You would be surprised at how many men do this! The bottom line use your common sense, be honest, take your time and have fun!

You bring her home. When you pull into the driveway, you proudly open up the car door and invite her in to your house. You say to her, Here you are, honey. Your new home.

She cautiously walks in the house. She inhales shortly a couple of times. She wrinkles up her nose. The house has got a funny smell to her.

You dont notice anything. But to her, its full of strange smells she cant identify: Its a combination of leftover fast food wrappers, old pizza boxes, dust, beer cans, and remnants from the chip and dip that you and your friends consumed while watching a football game.

You threw all those things away, but the odors are still there.

It doesnt smell like her house at home. It doesnt smell like a house with a woman living in it. It smells like testosterone.

Your Furniture:

She looks at the furniture. Maybe its new. If so, its probably something a guy would pick out, like heavy leather or dark colors. Certainly nothing she would pick out.

Maybe you were waiting for her to get here to buy new furniture. Maybe you are still using the furniture you picked up from your bachelor days, like the cement block and board bookshelf. Or the post divorce furniture from Rent to Own.

No matter what, she isnt going to like the furniture. Because she didnt pick it out.

My wife took one look at the seventy five year old house I bought for her and said, Its old.

Old Versus New:

The house was in excellent condition and had a lot of nice appointments like glass door handles, high pitched, coved ceilings, picture rails, and built in glass cabinets. In her mind old was synonymous with bad.

She liked the modern non-descript apartments her other Russian friends lived in because they were new rather than our house with lots of character because it was old.

I spent all my money buying the house and bringing her to America. Houses in California are expensive.

I had no time to think about the twenty-four windows in the house without curtains. I was waiting for her to come before I bought new furniture.

She said, I feel like a fish in a fishbowl without curtains. How can you live like this?

I was starting to think about the seven hundred square foot, one bedroom apartment she lived in back in Belarus. There were two bedrooms in this house, an office, a large living room and dining room, a fireplace, and plenty of land.

In her mind, her apartment in Belarus was better.

Home Is Better:

The house I bought was previously owned by a widow who had passed away. She had smoked about four packs of cigarettes a day in the house for fifty years.

When they prepared the house for resale, they painted the old walls without taking the nicotine stains off the old paint first with TSP.

My wife took two sniffs when she walked in the house and turned her nose up.

I explained to my wife that I had purchased the house from a widow who had passed away, and that she smoked in the house for many years. My wife took another sniff and said she thought that they had left her in the house for a few months after she had died.

Russian Superstitions:

She said she thought the house was haunted. I knew Russians were superstitious, but I had no idea how superstitious .

For several nights, she saw the old lady in her dreams. For months, she talked about the ghosts in the house.

My advice is dont give your Russian fianc any ammunition to fuel her superstitions. Dont mention anyone dying. Dont tell her any war stories about the house, the car, the town, or the neighborhood. Its like telling ghost stories to four year olds before they go to bed.

If I could change my story, I would tell her that the house was previously owned by nuns who burned votive candles day and night while singing hymns and praying. Of course, knowing her as I do, she would not believe me. She and her relatives can communicate with the other side. She would know the truth.

Finally, after a few years, the smells and the ghosts have gone away. There are new double pane windows and beautiful window treatments in the house. She has decorated the house to her liking. My wife finally likes her house.

Sun and heat allergies are like regular allergies and are an immune system response to a substance that is normally harmless. Having true heat and sun allergies will occur only in certain people that are sensitive. It is not clear why some people will develop allergies to the sun and heat and there is evidence that some forms are inherited.

Some people have an allergic reaction to the sunlight. The body will be able to tell when it is about to have a dangerous reaction to sunlight and it will trigger up an allergic cascade. The sun allergies are usually going to appear on the exposed skin as a rash or hives. There are usually two forms of sun allergies that can happen to the body. They are going to be polymorphous light eruption and solar urticaria.

Some of the conditions that are thought of as sun allergies are usually skin disorders that are caused by a combination of an ingested or some type of cream that is applied to the body and then going out into the direct sunlight. This will sometimes cause a combination that is painful and will be considered an allergic reaction to the sun.

There are also people that have sun and heat allergies that are going to be very scary. Sometimes if a person is out in the sun too long, they will get heat exposure and this can feel like sun poisoning. This is going to make a person feel sick and very upset. Having too much sunlight in your life can be harmful just as not having enough. Heat allergies can be caused by the sun or by sweating and even hot showers. This can create hives on most of the body. Heat allergies can also come in two different types and they are prickly heat and heat urticaria.

Getting the facts on sun allergies is going to be a good way to keep yourself safe and to make sure that you are not exposing yourself to sun allergies. It is no fun to not be able to go outdoors and enjoy the great sunshine. You have to keep your body protected at all times and make sure that you are able to keep any sun allergies under control.

It is important to be careful when you are out doors and in the heat. You need to make sure that you are keeping yourself safe from the heat exposure and what is going on. You need to apply lots of sun block and make sure that you have some type of shelter from the heat and sun at times. You should also make sure that you are drinking plenty of fluids especially lots of water to keep you healthy and strong when you are out in the hot sun for any period.

Imagine with me, if you will, the image of football's future at a restaurant. Worry not, we are not looking at a fast food joint during a major tournament, the gaudy images of Disney characters doing scissor kicks is not welcome here. I am, of course, speaking metaphorically. Within our scene we see a top table, reserved for the best, the more sizeable contingent. Here we see our Real Madrid's and Barcelona's, our Manchester United's and Chelsea's, our Milanese giants. We look on as they stuff more into there already full mouths, chairs buckling beneath weighty posteriors, crumbs and excess falling to the ground around their feet. As we look down we see a sight that is unpleasant for anyone to view. The once great powers of Paris St Germain, Ajax and Celtic are scrambling to claim what they can from the slurry, enough maybe to see out starvation for just one more season. Is this the way our game is headed?

There is a gulf beginning to open; an expanse which will seemingly become harder and harder to bridge. The divide of which I speak is that between the various leagues under the weighty jurisdiction of the UEFA. As the big guns get fatter, those of lower stature become increasingly separated. The football associations of leagues such as Scotland, Belgium and Holland can only look on in awe as their bulkier neighbours enjoy increased sponsorship revenue, an influx of the cream of players from around the globe and as a result, greater worldwide coverage.

When the news of the English Premiership last week agreeing a television rights deal that will result in even the side finishing last at the end of the season pocketing 30 million, an equal sum to that which Chelsea received for their Championship winning term last year, the emphasis on the increasing gulf became all the more clear. So what does the future hold for side's in leagues aside from the 'Big 3' of England, Italy and Spain?

Scottish football has now reached a juncture at which the league championship has become increasingly insignificant. Without doubt there will be fireworks, champagne and Tenants Super a-plenty at Parkhead when the inevitable occurs, but by many Bhoys supporters will concede that the ease at which their side continually win the championship does diminish the achievement to an extent. It now seems that Celtic and Rangers now focus their attentions more upon European competition than domestic.

This in itself creates a vicious circle. A cyclone that reduces the worthiness a various country's domestic programmes, the upshot of this will ultimately render the teams effected occupying the unenviable position of having their finances, potential purchases and competitiveness marginalised. The effects of this, which many may argue we are already experiencing, could be catastrophic.

The richer the 'big three' leagues of England, Spain and Italy become, the harder it will become for those following to keep pace. Over the past decade this effect has become prevalent. Using the Champions League as an example, only twice in the past ten years have sides away from the 'elite' brought home the famous trophy. Taking this into consideration looking forwards, surely the chasm that divides will only widen, possibly to the extent to which long established leagues from countries like the Netherlands, Scandinavia and possibly even France become little more than feeder leagues to those who have established financial superiority.

The question that must be addressed is what can be done about this issue? Having recently succeeded UEFA stalwart Lennart Johansson, former France captain Michel Platini has many difficult tasks in his new role as president of the organisation, but I foresee this issue to be of huge importance in keeping the sport in the possession of the people.

The issue has been previously debated heavily in the Netherlands. At some point over the past ten years, all of the nations three most successful clubs (Ajax Amsterdam, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven have voiced their desire to potentially leave the Dutch Championship as, similarly to in with the Old Firm sides of Scotland, they feel that they can gain nothing more from this competition.

Although this has not yet materialised, talk has been apparent of a merger between such leagues. Using the working title of a 'Northern European Superleague' it was voiced that an alliance as the title confers could give teams in this predicament a new lease of life. The new league could theoretically be as strong as any other whilst simultaneously enabling the clubs involved to fulfil the potential they posses, a potential really only denied previously due to a geographical misfortune.

The Ajax's, Celtic's and Anderlecht's from across the continent would welcome this with open arms. It would instantly grant the prospective clubs money making opportunities that they had never experienced before. It has long been the argument of many Old Firm supporters that their beloved clubs would be as big as any south of the border if the competition so allowed, this could be the chance to prove this bold claim to be true.

Overall, bigger games week-in-week-out would produce more media interest, in turn gate receipts could improve, sponsorship deals fatten, and those who are now forced to sell to survive could begin to buy into a galactico class of player. Basically, everybody's happy.

Or so you would think.

On the other side of the fence, the side where the grass is lush and the lawnmower is shiny. The side of the fence onto which the ball has been kicked, on this side we will find that the current occupants would rather the status quo remains.

For starters, we must appreciate that the power in football is held by the mighty. UEFA remain the organising and decision making entity, but the English FA, the Spanish LFP and Italian FIGC and the recently formed G14 conglomerate of clubs hold many of the Aces.

If we look at the situation from this perspective, we can easily see why the fattest diners at the table would not wish for someone to cut in on the cake. A rival league such as the one mooted could claim a portion of what is essentially a market share that is currently held by the biggest leagues. With football clubs run today more with financial gain in mind than ever before, the big hitters will doubtlessly not wish to see what they perceive as being their money (money that is often already accounted for in these days of projective finances), as such it is unlikely that any such league will be formed without much protestation.

Also, and the key deciding factor from the perspective of the governing body, is the impact that a pan-European league could have upon the Champions League. The jewel in UEFA's crown can justly proclaim itself as being (aside from the World Cup) amongst the finest competitions in football today. A league combining different nations could potentially throw the famous tournament into disarray, with qualification processes requiring instant and dramatic overhaul.

As highly unlikely as the idea is to get off the ground is, the thinking behind the theory is the key factor that we must acknowledge. Quite simply, the divide between rich and poor in football today is widening to an extent to which I fear that domestic leagues outside of our decided elite will serve as little more than to develop and groom players for their 'superiors'.

Once proud leagues like Le Championat in France, the Scottish Premier Division, possibly even the German Bundesliga find themselves further and further behind and the struggle to keep up is not getting any easier. Surely the greed of the biggest will not destroy that which grants the stature initially? Without healthy competition at all levels, football will be an elitist pastime, further separating itself from the people. The fans who supply the fuel that powers our beautiful game could become yet further separated.

A pan-European league may not be the answer, but surely something should be done to prevent the bloated sides at the top table ultimately crushing the hand that feeds them.
