Hawaiian Luau Party Games

The warm season is just the time to put together a few Hawaiian Luau party games for your next tropical themed cookout. Be sure to bring lots of energy and creativity for these games!

Body Art:

This Hawaiian Luau party game is more of a fun pastime than an actual game, but the guests will have a great time playing it. Depending on how old most of your guests are at the party you can make this game more or less risqu and it can also be made a little competitive if you give an award for the most artistic Hawaiian Luau body art.

Get the guests into groups of three and paint Hawaiian Luau themed pictures on each others body. The guests can paint anywhere as long as their painting buddies agree. Youll also need body paints or face crayons, brushes and some water for these Hawaiian Luau party games. Spread out some newspapers to keep paint from coloring the carpet.

Crab Football:

These Hawaiian Luau party games are something like soccer played with the largest inflatable beach ball you can find. The game is a test of skill and agility, but the difference between Crab Football and regular soccer is that the players move around like crabs. Walk like a crab by standing on your hands and feet with torsos face up towards the sky. A small yard should be big enough for the guests at your Hawaiian Luau party games to move around in and keep this tropical game fun and everyone will have a great time. Dont forget to set up goals with goalies for the crab walking players to try and kick the ball into during the Hawaiian Luau Party Games.

So if you liked these two Hawaiian Luau party games get out there and start putting together a great party with lots of friends and family.

Low Home Mortgage Equity Loan Rates are Obtainable

One of the benefits to purchasing a home is developing a strong financial portfolio. As you make payments on your home, you are building up equity in a property that you can use a later date if you need to. A home equity loan is a closed-in loan that you can obtain in order to get cash from your home. If you are considering this type of loan, you want to find the best home mortgage equity loan rate. Getting the best rate allows you to make the most of your money.

Home equity is the amount of money that you've invested in your home by making payments or placing a down payment. It's the difference between the outstanding loan amount on your home and the value that it's appraised at. Your home equity loan is held as a second lien on your property, or commonly referred to as a second mortgage.

You can generally find a good home mortgage equity loan rate even if you have bad credit. This is because you are putting up your home as a collateral in the loan. The bank knows that in a worst case scenario, you can offer your home as payment. For the bank or other lending institution, home equity lending is very low risk.

There are several steps that you can take to get the best home mortgage equity loan rate. Even though you don't have to have perfect credit, you do need to take steps to improve your credit. If you have a lot of outstanding debt, the bank will see you as a potential default. You're more likely to miss a payment or go into bankruptcy in their eyes. Reduce your credit card debt and close the cards that you aren't using in order to raise your credit score.

You can also find a better rate by shopping around. Don't feel like you have to stick to your current bank. A different bank or lending institution may work harder to get your business, and that can translate to better rates. You should also consider finding a mortgage broker who can shop around for you. A mortgage broker will obtain quotes from many different institutions and find you the best rate.

No matter what route you go, whether you get your loan through your current bank or find a new one, make sure to shop around sufficiently so you can get the best home mortgage equity loan rate.

Nintendo Not Just Fun And Games!

Rehabilitation is not what you think of when you see a Nintendo Wii or a Nintendo ds game console. Believe it or not the latest tool that is being used for rehabilitation is the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo ds gaming systems.I am sure you would think that this was just for kids and teens as with the now more popular game systems now on the market today. Who would've thought that Nintendo could be used so effectively in rehabilitation centers and hospitals?

They are also being used in senior citizen facilities. The Nintendo ds game brain age is being used to stimulate their brains. It is really beneficial for overall mental health and they are getting brain stimulation instead of just sitting around stagnate with no stimulation. Brain age is a great new game that with just a few minutes everyday can give you a great mental workout and reduce your brain age. The games are engaging and work to increase blood flow to the prefontal cortex. This allows you improve your mental acuity thus lowering your brain age. Maybe you have an elderly relative that could benefit greatly from using Nintendo ds and brain age.

This is a great way to get them the stimulation they need for their brain and it only takes minutes per day.

Now in hospital rehabilitation units Nintendo Wii is being used in physical therapy according to reports in Newsday. Nintendo Wii consoles are being used as an effective rehab system for victims of stroke and a range of other injuries.

It was reported that one stroke victim is using the Wii remote and the Nintendo Wii sports tennis game and this has allowed her to regain some function in her hands. The physical therapist stated that the patient being able to swing the tennis racket (Wii remote) has been a great tool in helping the patient maintain balance for longer periods.

It is also being reported that injured American soldiers have been using Nintendo Wii sports games as a way to regain their strength. It also makes for a great excuse to have fun and not be seen as goofing off.

So no longer is it just used as entertainment. as was the case recently reported that Nintendo ds was turning up on cruise ships. They were even scheduling daily tournaments for the passengers. It seems everyone was carrying a Nintendo DS lite.

Nintendo has broken out of the mold and is being used as something other than the intended purpose of entertainment and gaming. You can't say the same for Xbox 360 or psp 3. This is a brilliant use of technology. This only helps establish Nintendo and move them ahead of their gaming competitors because of this new concept and innovation. Now people who have never even played a video game or didn't even know the difference between psp3 or Xbox will now be leaving the hospitals and will want to buy their own Nintendo Wii console . Whether is a Nintendo Wii or Nintendo ds, you can find something for all ages.

How about you? Get your game on with a Nintendo Wii or Nintendo ds. Its not just fun and games anymore.

Candy is the creator of http://www.buynintendoonlinewii.com in an effort to help those who want to always find their Nintendo Wii in stock with safe secure online shopping.

Forex Trading - Living the Dream of Financial Freedom in 3 Steps

Imagine being able to trade your way to financial freedom in forex trading and in just 30 minutes a day build wealth quickly. Is it possible to do this? Certainly it is, so long as you keep these facts in mind. Firstly 95% of traders lose money but dont let this worry you to much. The facts also point out that everything about forex trading can be specifically learned, by those traders prepared to put in the time and effort to do so.

A stunning example of this was the turtle experiment (see our other articles) where traders with no previous experience were taught to trade successfully in 14 days and ALL went on to make millions! In forex trading the lessons from the above experiment you would be wise to learn are:

1. You need to work smart not hard

Knowledge is not power in forex markets and accumulating knowledge for the sake of it wont help you. You dont get paid for effort in forex markets you get your reward for being RIGHT. All you need is a simple Forex trading system that you can have confidence and you need to keep it simple as - they work far better than complicated ones, as there are fewer elements to break, in the brutal world of real time trading.

Again keep in mind what we have said earlier: You get paid for being RIGHT thats it - so dont try and be clever. You may be thinking this all sounds a bit easy and yes learning to trade is not hard the hard bit is - executing the knowledge in a disciplined fashion.

2. You Need to Have confidence and discipline

If you cant execute your forex trading strategy with discipline, you dont have a strategy at all! Executing a system in a disciplined fashion is the hard part in forex trading. Its well known that emotions get involved and ruin most traders.

Trading with discipline sounds easy but is anything but its hard especially when money is on the line. If you want to have discipline you need to have confidence and this really comes from building and understanding your own trading system. You cant buy this for a few hundred dollars its doing the groundwork and doing it yourself that will give you the confidence to follow your system with discipline.

3. The Key To Your Success

Perhaps the one element I have missed out is desire. If you have a burning desire to win and succeed - chances are you will do what is necessary to make it so. If you read about the great traders and a good place to start is with Market Wizards Jack schwager (Edit) - You will note that all the traders interviewed (and this is the cream of trading talent) had a burning desire to succeed, love what theyre doing, are humble and enjoy taking risks and the challenge Forex trading presents.

The Challenge

If that sounds like you, then there is nothing to stop you making it to all you need to do is work smart and go into forex trading with the right mindset.

Good luck!

Real Estate and Franchising

It is often discussed in Business Management Program or MBA School history books that Ray Kroc's McDonalds was successful due to the fact that they controlled the real estate underneath every store, and the appreciation was their true asset. There is some truth to this, but that is not the only thing that made Ray Kroc successful.

Nevertheless, a business-person who can control their costs thru owning the real estate and their business location, has a huge advantage and franchisors know the value of being able to control the real estate. Most franchisors, which sell franchised outlets that include locations, at minimum want to have a master lease, which allows them to terminate a franchisee, kick them out and control the location, until they put in a new franchisee.

Franchisors often have site selection teams, and now there are tools used by Commercial Real Estate people, along with ESRI software, can give location intelligence in a heartbeat. Smaller Franchisors just starting out use all sorts of strategies, some use very simple solutions, as all you need is someone who knows how to run it, in a room with a computer, online, even a stay at home mom, former Real Estate person. Then quick overview of the area or territory from locals. Large franchisors of course, have large real-estate departments.

Not all Franchised businesses need locations, those that do, well their franchisees can use help in securing funding, but owning the real estate does not "Always" make sense. When it does, it pays to have a real-estate person to be a go-between with franchisees, franchisors and locals who understand the market. Real Estate is a big part of modern day franchising for many franchised companies.

How to Scalp Effectively in Forex Market

Scalping for small profits is one of the most popular strategies in Forex trading. Scalpers rely on trading regularly and taking consistent small profits. They usually liquidate their trades on the same day. However, the problem with this strategy is that it has the tendency to turn you into a compulsive gambler (especially for beginners). Why did I say that? There are various reasons for leading a new scalper into a compulsive gambler. When a trader turns into a compulsive gambler, he/she will be doom for failure. In this article we will take a quick look at the 2 common reasons for that and discuss on tips to scalp efficiently;

1. Addiction to Random Profits

Most newbie thought that they can make some quick profits by taking small profits in the Forex arena everyday. They enjoy the random rewards from the market, which may turn into an addiction. It is just like teaching your dog to perform a task and randomly rewarding it every time a task is done. In this way, there is no way your dog can know when it will be rewarded. As a result, there is no reason for your dog to quit doing the task, even without being rewarded for doing it.

2. Trading for Revenge

There is a common saying among scalpers; "Trade for today, not yesterday". Many newbie try to recoup their money back after their losses a few hours ago. They cannot swallow a loss or losses and became mesmerized with their fond memories of their past winnings. They keep thinking on how to win back their money, which tends to cloud their judgment on the market. They begin to fantasize opportunities in the market to enter a trade. This will eventually lead to their emotional attempt at revenge that is doomed to failure.

Tips to Scalp Efficiently

1.Determine the direction of the day by first looking at the daily chart.

2.Using candlestick studies, trendline or pivot points to enter a trade in the hourly chart.

3.For the above it must be use together with support and resistance.

4.Trading on continuous trend has a higher probability of success.

5.For contrarian trading, always enter at a better filled price or average your lot size to enter the trade

6.Scrape your trade if you do not feel comfortable after the point of entry or it takes too long for the trade to go in your direction.

7.Stop trading for the day if you have 3 losses in a row

Forex Millionaire Reveals His 5 Most Secret Strategies!

1. You should not execute trades, as a general rule, in between pivot points. That area is NO MAN'S LAND. Wait for price to make up its mind on direction at a support or resistance level, supplemented by other indications of price direction "reading bars," MACD divergence, reaction to pivot point, trendline breakouts.

2. Don't use MACD for anything other than divergence. Recently, MACD on the 15 was trending up, leading unsuspecting traders to believe that price was headed north. However, price did a u-e at the main pivot point, and headed south to find the other end of its range at S1. You wouldn't see this sudden shift in MACD, because it is a lagging indicator. So, to summarize, just use MACD for divergence and nothing else.

3. You should only take trades in and around pivot points not in between, as stated previously. When price action centers around a pivot point, then take a look at the five minute to see what's going on behind the scenes. Because, you should have been focused on only the 15 min up to the point of price interaction with the pivot point. Now, you want to pay attention to what price has up its sleeve. In the above example (40), price faked out unsuspecting trades when it trended up through the main pivot point, only to tank as it did a price rejection bar on the 15 min chart. Of course, you wouldn't have seen this coming if you were only looking at the 15 min. You would have seen the price reversal on the 5 min, and been ready to head south with price.

4. The absence of divergence between MACD and price simply suggests that MACD is confirming that the price trend is intact. But, don't be fooled by this synergy. Please review strategy number 40 to see what I mean.

5. Resistance levels (M3, R1, M4, and R2) are levels (or sell zones) where sellers can be expected to outnumber buyers, and push price lower. Correspondingly, support levels (S2, M1, S1, and M2) are levels (or buy zones) where buyers can be expected to outnumber sellers, and push price higher. These expectations are based on my program's interpretation of buyer/seller interaction in the last session. I think you will agree, after close inspection of the results of my pivot point calculations, that price hesitates, pauses, and decides on its course of action in and around pivot points. That's why you should never enter trades in between pivot points, while price is in transit, and in a state of transition.
