Drinking an espresso is an experience in and of itself. And to help you make the most of this pleasure, here are a few tips: Look at the espresso. Ideally, a shot will be rich brown in color with some speckling or flecking of copper or dark gold. The top layer is called crema, a rapidly-evaporating compound of coffee oils and solids. The thicker and richer the crema, the better the shot is likely to be. The heart of the shot is a dark, almost black, syrup-like layer beneath the crema. Drink fast! Espresso begins to deteriorate within fifteen seconds of extraction. Take the tiny cup, or demitasse, and slurp to throw the espresso against the back of your palate. Expect a shock. Espresso is one of the most astonishing taste sensations in the world, but if done right, is never bitter. Keep slurping, tasting for elements such as spice, fruit, wood, or smoke. Every shot is slightly different. Discuss your findings with your barista to see what he or she "gets" from the shot. Making an espresso is an art form for many baristas and you can learn a lot by engaging them in a discussion.

Q: Before you get married, the ring should be worn on your right hand, rather than your left. Wearing it on your ring finger shows that you're romantically inclined, but have not yet found the person you are going to marry. The heart should point toward the end of your finger, rather than into the center of your hand, and the crown should point inward. This shows the world that you're open to finding love, and that your heart is available to give to another person. When you've found someone special and made a commitment to date them, turn the ring around so that the heart points toward the center of your hand. This shows that your heart is currently unavailable. Leave the ring on your right ring finger, though, since you are still unmarried.
A: Wear the ring on the ring finger of your right hand. Wear the ring with the heart facing out to show that you're single. Wear the ring with the heart facing in to show that you're dating.

Article: Monitoring your progress is important when you're losing weight. Stepping on the scale regularly can help you see how effective your diet program is going and whether or not you need to make any changes. Remember, safe weight loss is about one to two pounds per week. Be patient with your progress. You're more likely to sustain slow and steady weight loss in the long-term. For the most accurate pattern of results, it's best to weigh yourself at the same time of day, on the same day of the week and in the same clothes (or choose to go without clothes). If your weight loss has plateaued or you've begun to gain weight, recheck your meal plans and food journals and see if you can cut out any more calories to help weight loss. Having friends, family members or co-workers supporting you through your weight loss plan may help you continue to lose weight and maintain it long-term. Build a support group to help you stay on track. See if others you know also want to lose weight. Many times people find it easier to tackle weight loss together as a group. You can also try finding online support groups or support groups that meet in person on a weekly or monthly basis. Get support by working with a registered dietitian; he/she can customize your meal plan and provide on-going support. Having a motivating and enticing reward at the end of your weight loss goals can help push you through to the end. Set up something exciting for yourself as you meet your goals. Ideas to try include: Buying yourself new shoes or clothes. Treating yourself to a round of golf or other favorite sport. Getting a massage or other spa treatment. Avoid food-related rewards, as these can trigger old habits that might not be conducive to weight loss.
