Here are the french literal translations for two Christmas Carols that are sung to the same tunes in English.

Douce nuit is the French version of Silent Night. They are sung to the same tune, but the translation given is the literal translation of the French Christmas carol Douce nuit, which is quite different than Silent Night.

Douce nuit, sainte nuit !

Dans les cieux ! L’astre luit.

Le mystère annoncé s’accomplit.

Cet enfant sur la paille endormit,

C’est l’amour infini,

C’est l’amour infini !

Sweet night, holy night!

In the heavens the star shines.

The foretold mystery comes true.

This child sleeping on the hay,

Is infinite love,

Is infinite love!

Lyrics for “Au Royaume du bonhomme hiver,” a French Christmas carol

Au Royaume du bonhomme hiver is a French Christmas carol, the equivalent of “Winter Wonderland.” They are sung to the same lyrics, but the translation of the French given here is literal, as the French lyrics are quite different than the English ones.

Écoutez les clochettes
Du joyeux temps des fêtes
Annonçant la joie
De chaque coeur qui bat
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver.

Listen to the bells
Of the joyful holiday times
Announcing the joy
Of each heart that beats
In the kingdom of the winter snowman.

Sous la neige qui tombe
Le traîneau vagabonde
Semant tout autour
Une chanson d’amour
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver.

Under the falling snow
The sleigh wanders
Spreading all around
A love song
In the kingdom of the winter snowman.

Le voilà qui sourit sur la place
Son chapeau, sa canne et son foulard
Il semble nous dire d’un ton bonasse
Ne voyez-vous donc pas qu’il est tard ?

An Honest Review of SitStayFetch? There are many other reviews, but they are little more that just a sales letter masquerading as a review. Here is the truth and I’m willing to Back It Up With A Bonus of My Own.

The Good!

Why should you get Sit Stay Fetch? Because your dog will finally start obeying your commands with the simple, but effective techniques in SitStayFetch.

SitStayFetch has quickly become one of the best selling dog training manuals on the Internet. And with good reason.

Nearly everything you could ever need to know is there. And if it isn’t, then it’s probably in one of the many bonuses that come with it.

At over 180 pages, it may seem daunting, but everything is presented in such a way that makes it easy to read and understand. But that doesn’t mean it lacks substance. Daniel’s style is straight ahead and right to the point, without all the fluff.

You’ll find that training your dog to be obedient isn’t all that challenging if you have the desire and patience.

The Better!

Another thing I liked about SitStayFetch is that one of the bonuses that come with the ebook is the SitStayFetch audio. Some of us are readers, while some of us are listeners. Whichever one you are, now you can go either way. I like to read the lesson while I listen to the audio at the same time. It just seems to sink in better.

The Not So Good!

As far as the other bonuses, I have to be honest. It seems that every time I look at the home page, the bonuses are different, so you will have to check to find the flavor of the week.

But from what I’ve learned, if Daniel changes something, it is for the better. I especially like the free email consultation you get as a bonus. No book, audio, or video can possibly anticipate every problem you may have and this is the perfect solution. There is even a members forum, where dog owners like yourself can exchange ideas and stories.

At $37.00 (at the time of this review), the price is about the same, if not lower, than other comparable dog training books, so that makes it a good value.

If dog training videos are more your style, when you place your order, you have a chance to upgrade to the Premium Package, which gives you these extra goodies.

“Dog Training Series” Download Video Files
“Secrets To Dog Training” Downloadable Video Files
“SitStayFetch Pro” Software

If you are like me, you can’t much lazier than that. About the only thing it doesn’t do is come to your house and train your dog for you.

Is it worth the extra $59.95? That’s up to you. Like I said, I’m lazy, so these videos were just right for me. And the “SitStayFetch Pro” Software was like a bonus within a bonus.

Bottom line, if you have a dog and are tired of him or her ruling the house, you can’t go wrong with SitStayFetch, weather you get the premium package or not. There is a reason Sit Stay Fetch has become one of the hottest selling dog training books on the Internet.

Here’s a quick and easy experiment to prove that essential oils really can enter your body through your skin. Cut a clove of garlic in half and rub the liquid (garlic essential oil) from the cut end on the bottom of your foot. See how long it takes before you can taste garlic on your breath (usually about 15-20 minutes).

The Sense of Smell (Olfaction)
The olfactory receptors, which are called chemoreceptors, are nerve endings embedded deep within your nasal passages. Fragrance chemicals in the air are inhaled and dissolve once they hit the fluid lining in your nasal passages. This allows the chemoreceptors to pick them up and send the ‘chemical message’ to the brain.

These chemical messages are sent first to the frontal lobe of the brain where the smell is analyzed, and secondly to the limbic system and autonomous nervous system. This is where emotional and physical responses to the fragrance are created. For instance, you might feel calm or sleepy, or you might sneeze. You might also be reminded of something in your past, and this experience will have an emotional response attached to it.

Some essential oils actively mimic neurotransmitters which have a powerful ability to alter mood. These can be helpful for conditions such as stress and depression.

The Lungs
Inhaling essential oils is the fastest way to get them into your bloodstream where they can start working. This is because the lungs are very efficient at absorbing oxygen, and vaporized essential oils that you breathe in. Since your respiratory system is designed to get oxygen into your bloodstream, when you inhale the fragrance of essential oils, they too are carried quickly into your bloodstream.

Every birthday is special since it is the party of the day that you came into this world, but there are some ages like 16th, 21st and 50th birthdays that are just extra special. These numbers mean a lot more than others since these are coming-of-age years. Most people throw huge parties during these times and invite everyone they know, too. It truly is a special day, and presents for these celebrations should be worthy for the event, as well.

At the age of 16, teenagers are given more responsibilities like being able to drive a car and earning their driver’s license. Most of time, this is celebrated by girls and are called Sweet Sixteen parties. Parents usually throw a big party for their daughters and give them a special gift. This could be anything from a trip to the tropics or a brand-new car. Guests would be courteous to bring presents, as well, and you can be sure that a pink swiss army knife won’t be found in any of the stack.

Another special birthday to celebrate is the 21st birthday. This is a celebration for entering the adult world. All the freedom with the accompanying responsibilities of becoming a full-fledged adult is heavy on the celebrant’s shoulders. He is now of legal age and can do almost anything he wants with his life. Most of them usually start living on their own and finding a regular job. It is only appropriate then to shower them with gifts that they can use to start. Getting a nice computer briefcase is great, or a nice apartment will do, as well.

For the age of 50, nothing but the best should be reserved, and that would also include gifts. This time it is now the turn of their children to organize the party for their parents. It would be very nice to give the turning 50’s with Howard Miller grandfather clocks to celebrate their grand age.

It is only proper to find excellent gifts fitting the occasion. It might cost quite a bit, but remember that these ages will come only once in their lives, so you have to make the most out of it.

The most difficult part when it comes to giving gifts is getting ideas. Where do you usually get your ideas? Is it from the person’s wish list, or something you just found while shopping? Thank goodness that in this day and age, there is a tool that can lend a helping hand, the World Wide Web.

Think about it. You can find so many people on the World Wide Web from all over the world with so many different and cool new ideas. Searching for them is quite easy, too, since most of these people usually come together in online forums. You just need to sign up to a particularly active forum and start joining in discussions to ask about gift ideas. You are sure to get lots of answers.

It would be extremely helpful, too, if you know the person and what he likes. At least, you would have an idea on what he is into. You can also describe the person to your new found online friends so that they can recommend gifts that are suitable for that person. This would also help you avoid mistakes like leading you to a store for pocket watch accessories when what you should be looking at are great golf gifts.

Some would even give you links to online shops. You might want to check these out, too. Sure, you don’t want to buy stuff online, but there are some shops that really do have a real store somewhere and you can simply drive there and pick out the gift the you like. But if you do prefer buying online, you can simply place your order, say, for instance, a pair of personalized cufflinks, and then have it sent directly to the recipient of the gift, all wrapped up and ready.

The World Wide Webis a great place to find cool gifts and also to meet new people who have creative and new ideas. It is also a simpler and hassle-free way to shop. Just imagine, there are no long lines at the cash register, and the items are always in stock! You can also save on the gas and expenses on transportation, as well.

What do you do when you totally spaced out and forgot to get your husband or boyfriend a birthday or anniversary gift? It is quite unforgivable to forget such an important day, but there are times when you are busy with work or some projects that you would tend to forget. So what do you do to make up for it as soon as possible?

Well, the first thing that you should do is to stop panicking. You will never do anything with that. So take a deep breath and force your head to start thinking of a great gift for your loved one. It’s still a long day, so you still have time to come up with something - anything.

If you have more time, you can still run to the mall and find a good gift for your better half. Better forget any personalized items since it would take a longer time to have these done, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find other unique and cool gifts for men.

What about getting him some items for his work? These may not be so special, but they are practical items which he can really use in his office. You could check out a Cross pencil while shopping. Cross is a really good brand of pens and is known to have impeccable quality. You can even look for a computer briefcase. Your husband’s laptop should be placed in a durable bag that is stylish and tasteful.

If you are done with shopping for a gift and you still have some time in your hands, you can head to the grocery store and buy ingredients that you will need to cook up a sumptuous meal. Don’t forget to pick out some long white candles for that special candlelit dinner tonight and a bottle of champagne for some toasting.

See what you can do in just a day? And you couldn’t have done it all if you just sat down all panicky, blaming yourself for being so forgetful. But next time, though, it would be best if you keep a calendar of events to remind you of these special dates. You might not be so lucky the next time it happens.

It doesn’t take a great deal of talent to write an ebook but the benefits can be enormous in the short and long term. There is no longer any need for delaying with the simple process detailed below. Some people use other writers to help with the content until they feel happy they can do this on their own.

After writing e-book you need book publishing. basic book publishing is indeed an ocean,a vast field of opportunities for e-books.

If you have good knowledge in a specific area, why not write some articles and get the feed back on whether people are willing to pay for this information. Single articles are an easy place to start and they can also be sued to market your book before you have even completed it. If you want to know how successful the book will be, just send the articles on the topic of the book to various article directories to see how many people view them.

After writing an e-book for children you will not have difficulties to publish them because there are the scholastic book publishing firm to publish them.The scholastic book publishing firm publishes books especially to spread reading and learning habits among children.

The overall structure can be a work in progress while the article content is being written. Books generally follow a familiar structure of: introduction, main subject content and a conclusion but it is becoming very common to see an additional section on resources. If you write a few more articles that complement the book you may find it will increase the overall perceived value.

If you know the steps to publishing a book ,it be not very costly to publish an ebook.So you can write many articles in reasonable rate by knowing the steps to publishing an e-book .

Once each article has been written, place into the e-book; just how many you will ultimately require will depend on how long you want it to be. E-Books are shorter than print books with the optimum length being around 50 pages so stick to the topic, and offer good, useful information. The reason for this is books on screen are not as easy to ready so no-one wants to read information that is not directly related to the subject.

As an added extra, why not supply the reader with some bonus material you have located to give added value to your e-book; this is always appreciated. This can be some additional articles you have written to another short report. Do not supply bonus material about a completely unrelated subject, readers do not appreciate this.
