Nowadays, everywhere you go you see different varietys of these bars being sold. Protein bars have become a popular meal replacement for active people and serve as a healthier snack for people looking to add a few extra calories. Generally, there are two types of these bars out there and they are those that contain a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat, and those that contain mostly protein and fat, with very little carbohydrate.

The bars that are balanced with protein, fat and carbs are more of an energy type bar and are popular with active people. The bars that are mostly protein and fat are popular with people looking to lose weight and who are following a low carb diet. But, what are the benefits or the drawbacks of these bars and how can they fit into your diet as part of a healthy eating plan?

ADVANTAGES

Energy bars have one main advantage, they are very convenient. They fit into your briefcase, purse or pocket making them easy to take with you anywhere and to eat anytime. A lot of them do have a good amount of protein without the high cholesterol and saturated fat contained in other protein sources. They are usually fortified with vitamins and minerals as well making them a healthier choice than a fast food option or a convenient store meal.

DISADVANTAGES

Despite popular beliefs, energy bars do not take the place of a well balanced, nutritious meal. While a lot of these bars are fortified with vitamins and minerals commonly found in fruits and vegetables, they dont contain the phytochemicals, bioflavonoids and fiber fruits and vegetables have so their benefits are not quite the same. A lot of these bars also contain hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated palm oil, meaning that the saturated fat content of these bars can be as much as 50% of the fat content.

SOME POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND

You are better off with one of these bars verses a trip to the nearest fast food place, but they still dont have the same health benefits as fresh fruits and vegetables and other whole foods. If you do like to use these bars, you can make them part of a healthier meal by adding a piece of fruit or a raw vegetable, as opposed to making the bar itself the meal. They are alright by themselves as a pre or post workout snack but always try to keep in mind that they should be considered a snack rather than a meal.

Look at the labels and choose bars that are low in saturated fat and have no palm oil or any hydrogenated fats or at least have very little of these fats. Look for bars that contain vitamins and minerals if you are using them for meal replacements from time to time to keep some of the nutrients sacrificed from the meal you are replacing in tact.

Protein bars are indeed a good thing if you choose the right ones and you always keep them in mind as a healthy snack more than an actual meal. When you use them as a snack, remember that a lot of them do pack a good amount of calories so be careful if you are trying to lose weight.

Horses are herd animals and those instincts often fall into place in other places such as an arena or trail ride. These are also the times when you generally need the horse to be more independent and do what you ask. These herd instincts often lead to fights either on the rail or on the trail, but in order to find the root of the problem, it is important to look at things from the horses point of view.

The horse has a reason for everything he does. It is up to the rider to find what those reasons are. If the horse is scared, then you will want to help him to relax and calm down before you head off in a different direction. If he just wants to go somewhere else because he feels like it, then you will want to treat him differently and tell him where you want to go. This might end up in a small fight, but he may just be acting stubborn. The rider should be able to feel the situation and feel what they should do next. If the horse is truly scared, then you may want to begin with baby steps.

The baby step horse is the one we will discuss. You will want to ride your horse with a friend, assuming that their horse does not have this problem, and you will want to gradually begin suggesting to the horse that you want to veer away for a little bit. All you are doing is suggesting, maybe applying a little rein direction or leg. He may not respond immediately but any pressure you apply for a different direction will make him think about moving that way. As soon as he gives the slightest effort, remove the pressure and relax. He will probably continue staying near the other horse, so you will want to suggest your way again. The key is to get him to understand that there is only pressure when he is with the other horse. As soon as he realizes he wont be pressured if he goes your way, he will decide to go your way.

The hardest part of this training is that you must have a feel for your horse. Many people have problems developing and finding this feel and getting the proper timing on relieving pressure. The horse will provide you with little signs he is thinking of going your way, these signs might be as simple as his ears moving in that direction or taking a slight step in that direction. For example, if you are riding along with a friend and you decide that you want to veer off to the right and away from that horse, you will apply rein pressure and the horse will give you a sign that he is thinking of that direction by turning his head slightly to the right. When you see this sign and that is the way you want to go, relieve the pressure immediately. The sooner you are able to relieve the pressure, the more willing the horse will be to move in your direction.

This process is especially useful in young horses and colts that have just been started. They are more in tune with the rider and the rider will need a greater amount of feel. Many older horses have often begun to ignore many cues from the rider, as many times you mistakenly cue your horse when riding and they learn to basically tune you out. Young colts are not like that and they are very sensitive to everything you tell them. You may not necessarily want to focus on setting this as a goal, but you may choose to practice it with your horse over a short amount of time. The horse will soon begin to understand and will gradually become more willing to go where you want to go rather than staying with his buddies.

Some horses will take more effort than others and they may need a little more convincing. Many times you may also need to pay really close attention to what you are doing, and your horse will be more willing to respond. The key is finding a feel for your horse so that you will be able to see or feel what he is about to do. Many horses may give you very subtle cues such as twitching an ear in that direction, while others will turn their whole head. Colts can be even subtler and you may have to rely on your feel of the horse in order to feel which direction he is going to go. These methods will work whether you ride English or Western and can be easy training procedures that can be used on the trail. Anytime you have an opportunity to test your horse and teach him something new, you should take advantage of it.

Canadian maple candy can be anything thats made from Canadian maple syrup, but it can also be a variety of maple candies that are a big part of the Canadian kitchen and culture.

Canada produces over 85% of the worlds maple syrup, and that amount is worth over $165,000 and is shipped to over 45 countries. Most of the Canadian maple syrup comes from the province of Quebec, but maple sugaring is popular all over Canada, with about 10,500 maple syrup producers in the country. With all that maple syrup, Canadian maple candy is popular.

A distinctly Canadian type of maple candy is called maple taffy, or sugar on snow. In the French-speaking areas of Canada, its known as tire d'rable. Its made by boiling maple syrup until it becomes thick and viscous, and then pouring it on clean snow. If the syrup rolls off the snow instead of beginning to cool down, then the consistency is too thin and need to be cooked for longer to become more thick. Oftentimes, making maple taffy is a big festive occasion to be enjoyed on a snowy day.

Also popular is maple syrup fudge. This is similar to chocolate fudge, in that its usually made with cream, butter, and sugar. Unlike other types of maple candies, maple fudge will still turn out well if things like nuts are added.

Perhaps the truest kind of Canadian maple candy may also be the most well-knownpure maple sugar candy. All you need is pure maple syrup, and maybe some maple leaf molds, and you have everything for a traditional Canadian maple candy treat.

Philip Rozek invites you to step into the world of maple syrup at http://www.maplesugarrecipe.com/articles.html where you can learn about Maine maple syrup, Vermont maple candy, Vermont maple syrup wedding favors and more. He'll even show you five reasons to make all-natural maple sugar candy at home.

When you find out that you need cash in a hurry, because you don't have enough in the bank to cover your checks - when you thought you did, you need it now. Payday loans are about the fastest way to get the cash you need. Here is how you can get your cash in a flash.

Payday loans are a very convenient way to get your cash quickly. The nice thing is that the money is deposited right into your checking account. This means that if you accidentally wrote one check too many, that you can have it covered when you need the cash to be there.

Payday loans can be applied for easily by going online. If this is the first time that you have ever applied, you can probably get up to $400 with some payday loan lenders. After you have proven that you will pay, the amount you can get increases, with a maximum being around $1,500.

Payday loans require that you have both a job and a checking account. One thing they will not be checking, though, is your credit score. Anyone can get a payday loan. You will need to have been at the same place of employment for at least six months, though some may require as few as two months. The same is true for your checking account.

When you apply, you will need to provide the lender with your account information so they can deposit it directly, and take it out when it is due. To do this, you will either leave them a postdated check or sign an authorization for it. You will need to pay it in full on your next paycheck for most payday loan lenders. Some are now paving the way, though, for multiple payments to be made without further penalties over several paychecks.

You will have to show some evidence of employment, and leave a name and number of someone that they can contact as verification. You also may need to provide them with some pay stubs proving that you make more than $1,500 per month. Usually, you fax this information to them - requiring you to go to a fax machine. A no fax loan simply means you do not fax them anything - which takes them longer to verify the same information.

Once you have supplied the necessary information, which usually does not take more than about 10 minutes, your loan will be put into your account. Many lenders will do this in an hour - or even less. This means it is quick enough to keep that check from bouncing.

Be sure to look at several lenders of payday loans for terms and interest rates. The interest rate can range anywhere from 15% all the way up to 30%. They also have a way to check to see if you have more than one loan out at a time, so make sure you can pay on time. You will have the option to roll it over to the next paycheck but it is the same as if you took out another loan. You will have to pay the interest on the first loan on the day it is due, and then the balance plus new interest on your next payday.

Most people design the interior of their closet to suit their needs, but don't give much thought to one important point - how to actually get into the closet. That is to say, the door! But in order to fully complement your bedroom, you should give a bit of thought to what kind of door your closet should have.

It all depends on what kind of closet you have, of course. A walk-in closet requires a different door than a reach-in, for example.

If you have a long closet (as opposed to a deep one), then you'll probably want to think about installing sliding doors.

Drawbacks to sliding glass doors? What are the drawbacks to a sliding door? Are you worried about the doors coming off the rails? If the doors are properly installed, this won't happen. YOu will also always hear the sound of the door sliding on its rail. That can perhaps irritate people with sensitive nerves. But again, properly installed, this noise wouldn't be that loud.

An over-the-door system on which to hang your ties or shoes wouldn't work to well on a sliding door, or a bifold door, for that matter. But depending on your needs, that is a minor matter, as you can purchase under-the-bed rolling racks for your shoes - which will get them off the floor of your closet and also out of sight.

When searching for a sliding door, you will want to buy one of good quality - that comes with silent rails and a damper system so that the doors won't slam into the jambs with too much force.

Once you've decided on sliding doors, which type should you get? There is a large variety of designs to meet any need.

Mirrored doors double the size of your room If you feel that your bedroom seems rather small, mirrored doors might be the solution. Floor to top mirrors will reflect the room and make it seem twice as large. You'll also be able to see yourself from head to toe when trying on a new outfit, so that's an added bonus.

Frosted or smoked glass doors are another alternative, and can offer a unique look.

If you like the warm tones of wood, then you've got the choice of wood or wood laminate. Wood laminate doors are lighter than solid wood doors and slide easier, solid wood usually looks more elegant to the eye.

The wooden doors can be solid, paneled, or louvered. It all depends on what looks good to your eye.

Comparison shopping As with any major purpose, you want these doors to be with you for a long time. So you'll want to do some comparison shopping, which is easier than ever now with the internet. You'll also want to visit a few home improvement stores in your area so you can see how they look in their proper setting, before you invest in the doors that are right for you.

BBC television mini-series, Jekyll, is a smart updating and/or sequel to Robert Louis Stevensons tale, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Set in the present day, James Nesbitt plays Dr. Tom Jackman. Recently, Tom Jackman has found himself having to battle with his alter ego, Mr Hyde, but there is a lot more than a multiple or split personality at work here because when Mr Hyde comes on the scene, the body that he and Dr Jackman share changes physically. And as the ladies would say, Mr Hyde is one sexy man. Hes also a dangerous man.

Simultaneously childlike and predatory, Mr Hyde is everything Tom Jackman isnt. As Hyde indulges his impulses for sex and murderous mayhem, the repressed Jackman must protect his family from not only Hyde, but the shadowy and secretive organization who apparently have their own interests in Mr Hyde. In the meantime, Hyde is getting stronger and Jackman is losing control of the transformations. The dtente over time-sharing the same body is breaking down as Hyde fights to get loose more and more frequently.

Both roles are terrifically acted by James Nesbitt and the show runners have eschewed major physical changes -- Hyde is slighter taller, thinner, with black eyes and a different hairline -- in favor of using the acting to carefully delineate the two characters from each other. Nesbitts characterizations are sufficiently nuanced that the struggle between the two egos is clear to the audience even as the personalities start to bleed into each other as they fight for control.

Written by Steven Moffat, a total of six episodes were filmed for the series, which also features Michelle Ryan (The Bionic Woman) as the psychiatric nurse who works for both Dr Jackman and Mr Hyde. The series airs on BBCAmerica throughout August, 2007. The next opportunity to see the first two episodes is Saturday, August 11th.

Emma Martin loves British television. Be sure to check out her picks of British TV Shows you should be watching: http://www.squidoo.com/britishtvshows/

Jekyll is just one of upcoming series debuting on BBCAmerica that you should keep your eye out for. If you love Doctor Who, then you'll want to see John Barrowman in Torchwood in September or keep your eye out for the next re-air of Life on Mars.

The underside of the belly is called the flank. It is the part directly below the sirloin and the short loin. Steaks cut from this area are grainy any chewy. Hence, special cooking methods are employed for flank steaks to reduce their graininess and chewy nature. But these cuts are quite favored for their beefy flavor.

Flank steaks are cut differently from other steaks. The cutting is done in thin slices diagonally along the grain. This makes the steak softer to cut. Flank steaks are tough. They are marinated before the actual cooking, usually overnight. The marinating makes cooking flank steaks a faster process. Flank steaks should not be cooked at anything more than medium rare or they would become tough even to put a bite in them.

The marinade used for tenderizing flank steak is a mixture of various liquids, most of them acidic like curds, lemon juice, vinegar, wine, tomato juice or even fruits such as papaya or pineapple. The best method is to stuff the raw flank steaks into a polythene bag along with marinade and keep it overnight. Marinated steaks cannot be stored for long; hence they should be cooked as soon as the tenderizing is done.

Marinated flank steaks can be cooked by dry heating methods such as grilling, broiling or pan-frying. They need high heat for their striated muscle fibers to be properly done. They need almost double the time it takes for other steaks to be cooked. Flank steaks are also very delectable when they are stuffed and baked or braised. Before serving, flank steaks are cut into thin slices and suitably garnished.

Flank steaks are more difficult to cook than other steaks. They are also priced lower than other steaks. Despite the special care that must be taken to cook flank steaks, they are extremely popular due to their excellent flavor. Steaks marketed under the name London broil steaks are usually flank steaks. However, this name has nothing to do with flank steaks, as they have nothing to do specially with London.

Flank steaks are less fattening than loin steaks. A 3 ounce piece of flank steak will have about 192.1 calories. It contains approximately 26% proteins and 12.5% fat.

Steak provides detailed information about steak, flank steak, grilling steak and more. Steak is affiliated with Disposable Chef Hats.

If You are Tired of Outrageous Real Estate Commissions... Let's Dispel the FSBO Myth.

I'll show you how to Save Thousands of Commission Dollars by selling your property by owner.

You have several options when you sell real estate by owner; as a for sale by owner you can:

1. Sell by owner with no co-op to buyer agents.
2. Sell by owner and have a licensed broker or attorney write the contract.
3. Sell by owner and offer a buyer agent co-op fee.
4. List for sale by owner on MLS for a Flat Fee and co-op with a buyer agent.
5. List on local MLS for full service. Pay a discounted commission.
6. Sell on eBay and pay their fees.
7. Pay outrageous 6-7% for full service.

These are just about the only choices you have. I'll briefly outline the pros and cons for each option.

1. Sell by owner offer no co-op to buyer agents:

That's quite simple, you sell only to a for sale by owner buyer who is not represented by a broker. You are not represented by a broker so there is NO commission paid to anyone.

Pros:

You save commission dollars.
You maintain complete control.

Cons:

There could be contract errors.
You may not have state approved forms.
You are wide open to legal recourse later.
The contract may not be defensible in a court of law.
Inspections and contract deadlines may not be addressed.
It's hard to build trust with the buyer.

Suggestion:

My favorite is plan two. Hire either an attorney or a licensed broker to write your contract. It will cost you far less than a law suit later. You don't list with a broker. You don't pay big commissions so you save money and maintain control.

2. Sell by owner and have a licensed broker or attorney writing the contract:This is a smart economical way to go.

Pros:

The contract will be written on the correct forms.
Required inspections and deadlines will be addressed.
Terms are usually defensible in a court of law.
There is less chance of legal repercussions.
Builds confidence between you and the buyer.

Cons:

It will cost you a bit more money (it is well worth it). You have to find a broker or an attorney who will write the contract for a reasonable fee.

3. Sell by owner and offer a buyer agent co-op fee:

This is a good way to go except not all agents who have buyers will find you.

Pros:

You open the market to more qualified buyers.
A licensed person will write your contract.
You may sell quicker.

Cons:

It costs you more money.
The buyer is represented by an agent - You are not.

Suggestions:

Use plan two. Hire either an attorney or a licensed broker to review the contract and write a counter offer, if needed. Now you have someone looking out for your interest in the transaction. It will cost you far less than a law suit later. You do not list with a broker. You save money and maintain some control.

4. List on local MLS for a flat fee and offer a buyer agent co-op:

This is the best of both worlds. You remain a for sale by owner. You remain in control and you save half of the commission if the property is sold by a buyer agent.

Pros:

Greatly increased buyer exposure.
90% of the buyers buy through a broker, one of them could be yours.
You pay only half of the commission you'd pay for a full service and you get full MLS exposure.
You maintain the right to sell by owner to your own buyer.
Contracts will be on the correct forms if written by a buyer agent.
If you opt to pay for contract assistance your forms will be correct.
Agents will call you for showings and to present offers.
You maintain control.
Odds of selling quickly increase.
You will probably get a higher price.

Cons:

It costs you more money.
The buyer is represented by an agent -You are not.

Suggestions:

Incorporate plan two. Hire an attorney or a licensed broker to review your buyer agent contact and write a counter offer, if needed. Now you have someone looking out for your interest in the transaction. It costs you far less than a law suite. You still save money and maintain some control.

5. List for full service MLS pay a discounted commission:

This is the great game plan if you don't mind doing some of the work but want more representation.
Most brokers will negotiate on commission. If they won't... Find one who will.

Pros:

You have someone to review your offers, write counter offers and follow the transaction through to closing.
You still save money, though not as much as with a flat fee FSBO listing.
Your contracts will be on the correct forms.
Inspections and contract dates will be monitored more closely.
You're less likely to have legal problems after the fact.

Cons:

It costs you more money.
You lose some control.

6. Sell on eBay:

I know nothing about selling real estate on eBay; however I know it is becoming more prevalent. I am going to make some logical assumptions:

Pros:

You would save commission.

Cons:

There would likely be contract errors.
You may not have access to correct state approved forms.
You could be wide open to legal action later.

Suggestion:

At this time, I would not be comfortable recommending this choice.

7. Pay outrageous 6-7% full service commission:
This is still an option and many folks are still doing it.

Pros: The broker takes over the sale.
You get a sign, MLS and various goodies.
Your broker will present offers to you.

Cons:

You pay too much to sell your home.
You lose control.

I could go on and on but I won't.

Good Luck Selling.

Back pain can be one of the most debilitating forms of discomfort; without full use of your back you at least partially immobilized. And if you are like most of us, your life has very little room for recurring bouts of immobility. If you have been looking for a back pain remedy which will get you functioning properly once and for all, and you have verified with your doctor that there is no serious condition underlying your back pain, this article may help you find relief.

Any back pain remedy is only as good as it was for the last person it helped; what world for your friends or family members may not work for you. What you need to do is build your own back pain remedy by examining some things in your life and deciding which of them might be contributing to your problem. Your back pain remedy will be as simple as getting rid of whatever isnt working for you and your back.

Many people find that just changing their mattresses and starting a regimen of stretching exercises is all the back pain remedy they need. You probably have a pretty good idea of what might be causing your back to rebel occasionally; but here are a few questions to help you get started:

* How do you rate your exercise habits? Are you active between three and five times a week? A weekend athlete? Or closer to a couch potato?

* Are you familiar with the difference between acid and alkaline foods, and the inflammatory effects which acidic foods can have on your back? Would you be willing to incorporate more alkaline foods into your diet?

* Do you know how to lift with your legs, and not with your back?

* Do you know what correct posture is? If so, do you practice it?

* If you regularly carry a heavy purse or briefcase, and can get away with a backpack, do it. A backpack will have both sides of your body sharing the load, reducing the stress on one of them.

* What is you back telling you about your mattress when you get out of bed in the morning? Is it asking for a change?

* Are you a water drinker? Our bodies function best when they get at least eight 8-ounce glasses of plain old H2O every day.

* Whats your stress level? Stress is a great tension builder, and tense muscles are one of the leading causes of back pain.
