But the fact is that we all, including our children, consume way more salt -or rather, the sodium - than we should. Why should we care how much salt (sodium) our children consume? Too much salt (sodium) creates risk for high blood pressure and higher risk for heart attack.  And, we women know salt's affect on bloating! The eating habits of our children will continue in their adulthood - and all too frequently less healthy than they were reared when they face busy schedules they haven't expereinced before. What is the recommended daily intake of salt (sodium)? The adult recommended daily intake of sodium in the U.S. is less than 2,400 mg.  But, you may be interested to note the the daily recommendation in the UK is less than 1,600 mg!  That's quite a difference. So, who do you trust? It doesn't take much shopping and looking at the nutrition information on foods to find that they hold a LOT of sodium. I personally think that the government's recommendation of sodium intake is influenced by prepared food production. I think that they've taken into account how American's can reduce sodium intake without too much impact on the economy. But, then again, depending on which association you check, you'll find different recommendations from them all. There are no intake recommendations for children, but I think that they are important due to the formation of eating habits that I mentioned above. So, what's a person to do? Of course, a person should follow the advice of his/her doctor. But, for me - a healthy adult with great blood pressure - I just use my common sense to guide me. Tips for easy, common sense salt reduction: Use less salt than recommended in a recipe.  I've never found it to affect the taste.  Most of the time I totally leave it out - especially if it's accompanied by a product that already contains salt/sodium. Don't let your kids salt at the table.  The only time salt is on my dinner table is when company is over.  I think that my two younger kids don't even realize that people salt their food at the table.  If you do decide to let your kids have additional salt - put it on for them.  It comes out faster than they realize and it's hard to see! Check the nutrition label of every food that you buy.  You will quickly become aware of how much sodium is in cereal, bread, canned goods, bacon, frozen foods, etc.  Having an awareness of how much sodium you are consuming will make reduction much easier Buy low-salt or low-sodium versions of a product.  Why eat the extra sodium when you'll adjust to the difference in taste (if any) in a few bites? Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Substitute salt with other spices that will give food flavor without adding sodium Forming good "salting" habits now, will make things a lot easier for your children in the future.  Do it for them, and you'll be doing it for you too!

I've posted hundreds of articles, many of which point out many of these troubles. Even if you haven't read the blog, you probably are aware of some of these schemes. While I wish it were easy to sum everything up into one neat, overlying problem, it's not that simple. Let me point out just a few of the issues. For one, there's a definite lack of respect in dating nowadays. People don't even care about their partners enough to treat them as they deserve to be treated. Gossip, ridiculously high expectations, and rejections by ignorance are only some of the examples in this area. Grandparents are always carrying on about how today's generation has such a lack of respect. They talk about how, in their day, people cared about others and banded together through difficult problems. Why do they talk about these things? Because they're right! Through every activity in which I've been involved, I've encountered this problem. I'm tired of working for a hundred hours on a video project when the president of the organization receives but doesn't bother to even reply to your E-Mails asking him to review it. I'm sick of being ostracized from groups because I don't care to participate in their petty disagreements. And I'm exhausted after people expect me to work to death in volunteer organizations! There are always exceptions to this rule, and I'm sure that there are many people who do have a great deal of respect for both their peers and their elders. Unfortunately, the majority, or at least the majority with the most influence, simply don't care. Second, nobody is honest with themselves, let alone anyone else. Dating has turned into a torrent of backstabbing of which even Mark Burnett would be proud. Asking someone out is nearly impossible, because the gossip about it has already spread to a thousand people before you make the move. Then, when a rejection occurs (even if it's not rude), the rejector spreads rumors around to all his/her friends that cause them to completely ignore you, refusing to invite you to parties or even to initiate conversations with you. The biggest insult is that even if you asked point-blank, you'd still never get a truthful answer as to why such harm was directed towards you. As if what occurs after a rejection isn't enough, people attempt to steal others' girl/boyfriends. One day, things are going well, and the next you find yourself wondering what happened to the relationship that was forming - that is, until you notice that person spending a lot of time with who you thought was your best friend. No explanation is offered, not even a "good-bye." Third, people are not looking for someone who spends his or her time working to get ahead instead of getting flat-out drunk, who doesn't curse at or ignore his or her mate, and who actually makes time for whatever is occurring between them (whether it be a full-fledged relationship or just plain sex). They say they're looking for these things, but in reality, they're attracted to people with the attributes described above. "Confidence" is not the answer to the equation. Assuming they both possess the same level of "confidence," the above-described person would win every time over the "warm, caring, and intelligent" (wo)man that people claim is the ideal mate. The list of problems goes on. You might be intrigued to hear that while the problems seem innumerable, I propose they can all be rectified with the simplest of solutions. There's no danger involved, nobody has to lead radical changes, and it doesn't involve an "impossible" fight against biology. I simply propose for men to stop asking women out. Not for the rest of your life, but for just a short time, say, a month. It's not impossible, and you won't have to do it as much after the month passes. While there are a few (rare) exceptions, the vast majority of women don't ask out men 50% of the time. Women do have the advantage in dating, and it's time to level the playing field. Sure, talk with women as friends, and if someone initiates a conversation with you, then definitely reciprocate. However, let the woman ask you out if she's interested, no matter how attractive she is to you. Some women have never asked anyone out in their lives. It's no wonder why these women continually treat men like they're lower beings. If they had to put up with the rejections that most men do all the time, I guarantee that they would have more respect for men. Women would no longer put up with moving from guy to guy based on who was interested in her at the moment. And spreading gossip about potential romantic interests certainly isn't going to help one's prospects. People need to realize that humans, for all their ancestry, are not monkeys or horses or rabbits. They're humans, who can think and act for themselves. Men have so much more capacity in the dating arena than constantly looking for sex at all costs, if they would only exercise it. It's time to stop being prisoners to so-called "biology." Women have the same urges men do, and they should do half the work, not 10% or 20%. There are a lot of "seduction communities" on the Internet that teach men how to "seduce" women. I don't know of any similar organization that teaches women how to impress men with the same fervor. There's my proposal. I don't think it's hard to implement. Imagine if all the men even at one corporation or university decided to ban together. Laziness won't be a problem, becausenobody even has to do anything. It's time to change our distorted culture. All I'm suggesting is to promote equality. Is that such a bad thing?

Globalization, the technological advancements and especially the internet make it increasingly difficult to find your perfect job. Thats why winning the job interview is so important these days. Take the time to prepare yourself for your next job interview. Your qualifications and resume are merely a ticket to play in the job market. Next step  Job Interview Battle:  you have to fight really hard to land your perfect job. Find the factors that differentiate you from the crowd and think through some of your best success stories. Normally, a certain skill set will be the main differentiating factor. Starting from your resume up to the job interview process (both direct and telephonic interview) you should try to illustrate your skill set in the best possible manner. Use personal experiences and successes that demonstrate your skills. People have a tendancy to remember stories a lot better than they do cold hard facts. Normally you can divide your skills into three categories for the purposes of your job interview: - Technical skills - Management skills - Personal skills Technical job skills These are the mandatory skills which one should possess in order to qualify for a job. Normally these skills will be laid out in your resume. If the job interviewer has any questions, he/she will likely ask you in the job interview (that is, if your interviewer has had the time to review your resume) Get a feeling whether or not you think that these skills should be reiterated. Many of these skills are those that you acquired from your academic qualifications. You might want to commend your university for providing great insight into x,y,z This will highlight a special skill without you blatantly saying, Im an absolute genius at x,y,z! during your job interview. Management Job Skills Management skills are also mandatory but only for certain types of jobs which involve managing people or managing time. For all the other jobs, management skills are certainly great add-ons. Especially in the last few years, interviewers are giving importance to these skills as most projects involve managing a team or being an integral part of a team. Its a real plus to be able to illustrate any type of management ability during the job interview. Personal Job Skills These are the skills that show your attitude towards your work and life. These include time management skills, Personal life management skills, integrity, work ethic, family values and so on. Striking a good balance between your personal life and your professional life is a key factor for success on the job.  Job Interviews are increasing lending more importance to these skills and character traits in recent times. So, to sum up the job interview skill set  Start by identifying your strong skills in the technical, managerial and person realms. Then, think about how you will present your job skills  personal experiences, successes on the job, university findings, etc. Position yourself as self confident (never arrogant), a team player and someone of morals and ethics. If you follow this roadmap, you are more than likely to ace your next job interview.

The major points of interests are the core of the kaizen philosophy and what can be learnt from it, implementation requirements and the importance of corporate culture as one of the most important determinant of successful integration of kaizen (Papers4you.com, 2006). According to Imai (1997) kaizen is the philosophy of incremental continuous improvement with involvement of everyone. At first glance everything is pretty clear and simple  what you need to do is to improve the processes around to make things more efficient. However the first barrier which appear on the way to improvement are few questions: what to improve, why to improve, who shall improve, where to improve, how far to improve, far how much it will cost. All these questions are answered by kaizen. This philosophy stresses the high importance of working environment as the actual place of improvement and the source of information regarding improvement areas (Imai calls is gemba). Everything what creates wastes of resources  time, emotions, financial resources, raw materials, unnecessary steps  might be improved (muda elimination  Imai (1997). The real life advantages of this approach were observed by   Shigeo and Dillon (1989) with the case of Toyota Motor Corporation. The company sought to maximize the waste elimination and error-free production by introducing real time alert system on the operations level. This system allowed ground floor employees to stop the production line if problems occurred (Papers4you.com, 2006). The major message of Imai about kaizen is that continuous improvements cost nothing but might significantly improve the overall process. However, prior to rushing to improving found drawbacks an individual shall evaluate the consequences of change as well as the degree of its urgency and its usefulness for the work process. One of the main questions which arise is why various firms have not yet benefited from integrating kaizen. In practice, certain organisations restrain the capability of employees to amend the set operational procedures. The set organisational culture prevents ground floor employees from involvement in decision making what becomes one of the major obstacles. As the result people do not feel being involved or important and are not ready to seek the improvements. As the result the principle of kaizen  involving everyone can not be matched. Various analysts warn against blind use of kaizen as the blueprint for an organisation to become competitive and successful. Thus, Peters (1997) and Hammer &amp; Stanton (1996) claim that under certain conditions continuous improvement is useless, unless the whole process is radically changed. As Hammer &amp; Stanton (1996) put it unless we change the outdated rules and the fundamental assumptions that underline operations, we are merely rearranging the deck chair on the Titanic References Hammer M. &amp; Stanton S.

Regardless of the disturbing rise in neurological disorders such as autism, brain tumors, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), now believed to be a direct result of the use of the mercury based preservative, known as thimerosal  used for nearly 20 years in many childhood vaccinations. I encourage you to seriously consider the idea that drugs are being introduced into society without adequate testing and we are, in fact, the industry's guinea pigs. I do indeed question these so-called experts on the issue of vaccinations and I am deeply troubled by the government's method of forcing immunizations on parents - these same vaccinations that have shown themselves to be unsafe time and again - by making it a necessity for acceptance into schools and daycare centers around the country. Of course, in most states there are religious and even philosophical exemptions in place and we can cling to these exemptions for as long as they persist. The experts would have you believe that our advancement against infectious disease relates to the use of vaccinations. However, there is much more compelling evidence that our advancement does not come from the introduction of vaccines but instead from improved public health resulting from cleaner water, more effective sewage disposal, and less crowded living conditions. There is also reason to believe that the diseases our children are vaccinated against persist, however, it is by great trickery we are led to believe that it is the unvaccinated who are contracting these diseases when it is often the vaccinated. Statistics are delicate and often misused. I look for motivation to bend the evidence when considering a statistic and if great profit is at the heart of a number and the number flies in the face of logic, I consider it to be a lie. The pharmaceutical drug companies have more motivation to lie than any other industry. Profit - and a lot of it - is at stake here. Vaccines have their place as an emergency medical treatment when epidemics rage out of control. However, it could be argued that epidemics rage today BECAUSE we have weakened the immune system by frequent inoculations containing a whole slew of toxic chemicals. Before I continue, I would like to point out that I am not entirely against immunizations, although I would argue against the use of so many immunizations and given at far too young an age - I am against the pharmaceutical drug companies reckless use of dangerous preservatives and blatant disregard for the hazard these materials may pose to the health of small children. I do not trust these profit-mongering companies and will not fall victim to their careless shortcomings by participating in their vaccination programs. Vaccines are not always safe nor effective and I would like to provide you with a few key examples:  The Lancet reported in 1980 that a vaccine trial in India, involving approximately 260,000 people discovered that more cases of tuberculosis had occurred in people vaccinated against TB than among the unvaccinated.  The Journal of the American Medical Association published an article on measles in 1990 revealing that although more than 95% of school-aged children in the U.S. are vaccinated against measles, large measles outbreaks continue to occur in schools with the most cases in this setting to occur among previously vaccinated children.  In a 1994 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine it was reported that at least 80% of children under the age of five who came down with whooping cough had been vaccinated against whooping cough.  Between the years of 1990 to 1993 the FDA counted 54,072 adverse reactions to vaccinations. The agency also admitted this total represented only about 10% of actual adverse reactions because most physicians were reluctant to report the problems. Many vaccination programs are being implemented without thorough testing of safety, particularly with regards to the manner in which vaccines can alter the immune system and central nervous system. The best example of the carelessness of an industry run amok is the use of thimerosal as a preservative in vaccines for more than 15 years, now believed to be responsible for the tremendous increase in cases of autism and ADHD. If you would like to learn more, I encourage you to read the article Deadly Immunity by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. revealing the government's cover-up of the mercury link to autism, a mistake that cost numerous children their health. Dr. Paula Baille-Hamilton, the British toxins and vaccines expert, had the following to say on the issue of vaccines: "Few people realize that when they are getting a vaccine, not only are they getting a dose of the named antigen or disease, they're getting vaccinated against, such as diptheria, but also a mixture of known toxic, brain-damaging, and cancer-promoting chemicals thrown in as preservatives and "adjuvants," which help to elict an early, high, and long-lasting immune response. "Ever since mass vaccinations of infants began in the twentieth century, reports of serious brain, cardiovascular, metabolic, and other injuries started filling pages of medical journals. Reports from several countries show that vaccinated children, in addition to having a lower IQ, also have a higher incidence of behavioral problems, asthma, and diabetes than unvaccinated children." Even the former chief vaccine control officer for the FDA, J. Anthony Morris, stated in response to the reports of problems associated with vaccines, "There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good." The procedure of inoculation is rarely questioned and should be. When one is introduced to a virus or bacteria, it enters through the nose or mouth, triggering a natural immune response. The process of vaccination bypasses the first line of defense and is instead directly introduced into the bloodstream. Vaccines injected into babies do not in any way resemble an inhaled or swallowed germ because they are changed, attenuated, and injected as multi-antigens into the body. As a result, by-passing of the Th1 branch of the immune system can cause over-stimulation of the Th2 branch, teaching the body to be in a chronically reactive mode. Individuals who have allergies, asthma and auto-immune disease have a Th2-skewed immune system. Highly toxic substances such as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, MSG, sulfites, and ethylene glycol (antifreeze) along with various animal and bird products are commonly used in the manufacturing of vaccines. The use of tissue from other species will always carry a risk of contamination.  Even in the 1950s, the use of monkey kidney cells in the polio vaccine were found to be contaminated by a cancer-causing monkey virus known as SV40. Each one of these additives has been linked to disorders ranging from brain and nerve damage to autism and ADHD. These additives challenge immature immune systems and young metabolisms to process synthetic chemicals.  Ultimately, the toxins are carried off by the liver to accumulate in organs and tissues. I do strongly advise against the Hepatitis B shot given within the first 48 hours after birth unless, of course, the mother has the disease. The central nervous system of a newborn infant is particularly sensitive to toxic influences. There are cases of autism believed to be triggered by this one shot.  There are also cases of death believed to be related to this one shot. If it were given later in life, after the immune system has matured, it would not be as much of a problem. However, why would this vaccine be given to anyone not at risk? Hepatitis B is a rare, blood-transmitted disease. The incidence of hepatitis B in the 0 to 1 age group has been observed to be just 0.001 percent. Known complications arising from this one shot far exceed the number at risk! If you feel you must go along with all shots recommended by your physician, I encourage you to at least postpone the time of vaccination and do not allow your newborn to receive this potentially life-threatening shot.   My sister recently gave birth three weeks prematurely to a five pound baby girl.  The hospital was fully prepared to give this premature baby the Hepatitis B shot!  Fortunately, I had already advised my sister against this vaccination months in advance.  My point is that you should not expect the medical profession to make thoughtful decisions on these matters.  For the most part, they are doing the bidding of pharmaceutical drug companies who are not overly concerned with our well-being. The most important thing you can do for your health is to improve your immune system so that it will remain strong against attack by an infectious organism.  To that end there is a powerful product capable of providing the body with exceptional support against viruses and bacteria, manufactured by 4Life Company, called Transfer Factor.  In fact, 4Life Transfer Factor products are featured in the 2003, 2004, and 2005 Physicians' Desk Reference For Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements, the standard supplement guide for physicians that can be found in physician offices, hospitals, and pharmacies throughout the United States.  Transfer Factor implements a sophisticated system of teaching the immune system to recognize and destroy infectious organisms.   It makes one wonder why we use vaccinations when there is a natural product capable of providing exceptional support to the immune system.  I suppose it is because people like to believe a one-time shot will take care of a life-time of vigilance.  However, as more and more vaccines continue to be introduced to address numerous possible infections it becomes increasingly important to find a way to enhance the immune system rather than imagine we can keep up with the ever increasing number of potential diseases. If you are a parent who has done the bidding thus far of western medicine, without question taking your child to his or her wellness visits assuming vaccinations are not only safe but necessary, I would like you to know you have a choice and one that should be informed.

Yet some of the exposures that you have &lt;br /&gt;day-to-day that are most hazardous to your health and the health of &lt;br /&gt;your family happen right at home. The good news is that for every toxic product you'll find in your home, &lt;br /&gt;there is a safer alternative. You just need to know where to look for &lt;br /&gt;those toxic exposures and what safe solutions are available. Here are ten common toxic exposures most Americans have in their &lt;br /&gt;homes, and some simple, inexpensive things everyone can do to reduce &lt;br /&gt;household toxics. 1. Save yourself from exposure to toxic ammonia by washing your &lt;br /&gt;windows with vinegar and water. Ammonia can cause irritation of the &lt;br /&gt;eyes and respiratory tract, and burn your skin. Instead, mix distilled &lt;br /&gt;white or apple cider vinegar half-and-half with water in a spray bottle. &lt;br /&gt;Squirt on windows and wipe with recycled newspapers for a streak-free &lt;br /&gt;super shine. 2. Free yourself from toxic formaldehyde exposure by sleeping on &lt;br /&gt;untreated cotton sheets. Formaldehyde exposure can cause &lt;br /&gt;insomniayes, insomniaand respiratory problems, among other &lt;br /&gt;symptoms. Bypass formaldehyde-coated polyester/cotton sheets and &lt;br /&gt;no-iron cotton sheets and choose cozy cotton flannel sheets or &lt;br /&gt;untreated cotton percale sheets, both available at major department &lt;br /&gt;stores and online. 3. Put up a detector to protect your family from carbon monoxide &lt;br /&gt;exposure. Carbon monoxide starves the body and brain of oxygen and &lt;br /&gt;can be fatal.  First symptoms include sleepiness, headache, dizziness, &lt;br /&gt;flushed skin, and disorientation. All homes with gas appliances or &lt;br /&gt;heaters should install carbon monoxide detectors, available in most &lt;br /&gt;hardware and home improvement stores or on-line. 4. Replace toxic mothballs with sweet sachets. Mothballs are made from &lt;br /&gt;100 percent paradichlorobenzene, a volatile toxic chemical that can &lt;br /&gt;cause headaches and severe irritation to nose, throat and lungs. Over &lt;br /&gt;time it can cause liver and kidney damage. Because the balls look like &lt;br /&gt;candy, they are a very attractive poison to children. Protect your &lt;br /&gt;woolens from moths by making sachets from dried lavender, equal parts &lt;br /&gt;dried rosemary and mint, or whole peppercorns. Cedar products are &lt;br /&gt;also effective moth repellants. 5. Use soap-based cleaning products instead of poisonous detergent. &lt;br /&gt;While detergents seem safe, they are a petrochemical-based product &lt;br /&gt;that is responsible for more household poisonings than any other &lt;br /&gt;substance. Soap, on the other hand, is made from natural oils and &lt;br /&gt;minerals and has been safely used for centuries. Natural and organic &lt;br /&gt;soap-based products can be found in natural food stores and online. 6. Refill your own non-plastic water bottle instead of using toxic plastic &lt;br /&gt;water bottles. While it's good for your health to carry your own water &lt;br /&gt;and drink it throughout the day, if it's in a clear polycarbonate plastic &lt;br /&gt;bottle, it is leaching a toxic substance into your water--even if the bottle &lt;br /&gt;is sitting on table at room temperature. Bisphenol-A. BPA is a potent &lt;br /&gt;hormone disruptor that can impair the reproductive organs and have &lt;br /&gt;adverse effects on breast tissue and prostate development. Drink from &lt;br /&gt;a glass bottle or carry an aluminum or steel bottle, available online. 7. Avoid toxic pesticides by making dinner using fresh, organically-grown &lt;br /&gt;produce. Most food sold in supermarkets are sprayed heavily with &lt;br /&gt;pesticides, many of which cause cancer. Find out where to buy &lt;br /&gt;pesticide-free organically grown food in your community, go there and &lt;br /&gt;purchase what looks good and is in season. One taste and youll go &lt;br /&gt;back for more. A great variety of organically-grown food can also be &lt;br /&gt;ordered on-line. 8. Wash away petrochemical perfumes and take a botanical bath. Many &lt;br /&gt;commercial bath products contain detergents and artificial fragrances &lt;br /&gt;that can be irritating to sensitive areas. You can have a luxurious &lt;br /&gt;relaxing bath by adding natural substances to warm bathwater, such as &lt;br /&gt;fragrant dried or fresh herbs (try lavender, rosemary, or peppermint), a &lt;br /&gt;quart of buttermilk, or 1 cup Epsom salts. For bubbles, use a natural or &lt;br /&gt;organic soap, available in natural food stores and online. 9. Get some color in your life without toxic solvents by choosing colorful &lt;br /&gt;water-based pens and markers. Check through your pens and markers &lt;br /&gt;and throw away any with "permanent" ink. They contain very toxic &lt;br /&gt;volatile solvents such as toluene and xylene. Every office discount &lt;br /&gt;warehouse and art supply store I have been to carries water-based &lt;br /&gt;pens and markers in every size and color. 10. Clear the air with a couple of houseplants. In addition to being &lt;br /&gt;beautiful to look at, houseplants also freshen the air by absorbing the &lt;br /&gt;carbon dioxide we exhale and releasing the oxygen that is vital for us to &lt;br /&gt;breathe. Some plants, such as the popular spider plant, also remove &lt;br /&gt;some air pollutants.

(1)</title><content type='html'>By Elaine Sihera The pastor from the Evangelical Church in Hackney, London, was patient but firm. There was definitely life after death, one where we would all be judged by God. But eternal salvation was possible only through strict adherence to the teachings of the Bible, and these were not negotiable. Though I listened to him with interest, and respected him and his views, my convictions were set in concrete. My only afterlife would exist in someone else's head. I too believe in God but I also believe I was placed on earth for a reason and any judgement would not be reserved just for the future. The full works would be meted out right here and now: in the quality of my life and for treating others in ways which reflected God's teachings of charity, kindness and forgiveness. Not just for following the holy book while bitching my neighbours into the ground with selfishness and greed, being discriminatory towards them or blasting them into oblivion to feed my desire for power. The pastor wouldn't budge. He spoke slowly and softly, as if to a lost child in need of paternal guidance. Life on earth was insignificant compared to life in heaven or hell and, anyway, my ideas had no foundation because they were not in the Bible. Black people were hardly mentioned in the Bible either, but that did not negate our presence! It seemed that everyone could quote the Bible, or their holy book, to suit their own purpose. And that is the problem with anything written so long ago. The messages get lost down the ages, gathering momentum in their obscurity as the messengers grow bloated with bigotry. Being learned charlatans of each faith, they continually use such books to maintain their power while the meanings and application become more irrelevant to our world and our needs, and the interpretation of each phrase multiply faster than an ant's nest to suit every act and occasion. The customary straw poll of students within British educational establishments, to assess current levels of faith, might be unscientific but no less indicative of a growing areligious society. The average of people still attending church, or considering themselves religious, is now about 12 out of every 30, and falling. While these students turn their backs on Christianity, yet with nothing else to fill the gap, the Bible marches on in its obscurity and irrelevance, with its singular emphasis on Jews, Gentiles, Hebrews (no Blacks), its strange outdated place names and its virtuous tales of simple minded folk, living equally simple rural life and with not a single computer, mobile or Ipod in sight. Far removed from the technological and social revolution that is our world today. In this narrow, moralistic way, it traps each unsuspecting soul in the antiquated verbiage of a bygone age. No Women and Gays for High Office&lt;br /&gt; Meanwhile, much is done in the name of God, religion and the Bible. Despite a queen as Supreme Head of the British Church, the ordination and promotion of women is still threatening to split it because arrogant men, apparently enjoying a direct line to God's intentions, have decided that one female is more than enough! This is indicative of some key anomalies within the Church system: like women and gays being welcomed as worshippers, as children of God, but not when it comes to being ordained within God's church. Again, South Africans worship God every day yet kept apartheid alive for many years without the slightest reference to conscience or belief. Obviously their White God would not approve of their Black neighbours either! And once when I needed a priest badly, as a staunch Catholic, this man of the cloth had better things to do than to share some comforting words with me, a devout parishioner. I have not been in a church since that occasion, 35 years ago and what a wonderful difference it has made to my life! Now the good pastor was telling me that I needed to explore my faith further. My personal beliefs did not match up to his so they couldn't be right. But I had been this way before and how much closer could one explore the teachings of God than as a novice? For three years I dwelt ceaselessly on God's words, rejecting the hypocrisies of religion when my brain reeled with instructions and ideas which promoted nothing but evil. I do not know about other religions, though, if the actions of a few fanatics are anything to go by, the Muslim faith is even worse in its capacity for cruelty, but Catholicism has a lot to answer for and we won't even mention the Inquisition or the abuse of young minds and bodies down the years. Man himself commits vile acts then call on God to condone them! The Hindu gods also appear to take pleasure from the destruction of other people's temples and keeping their faithful members in an intractable colour system where the fair Brahmins are blessed with the right to kick the hapless, dark-skinned Harijans perpetually trapped at the bottom of the social pile. Being insignificant and, obviously, with no god on their side, these Untouchables are assigned to an immutable life of poverty, meanness and loveless inhumanity while the gods lavish attention on the favoured majority. The Christian ethos and vocabulary are only marginally better. Each word seems to echo an unmerciful God always waiting to pounce upon us terrible sinners with the worst retribution possible. The fact that God merely reflects the moralistic and narrow ideals of the messengers in His name has been lost upon humanity. Instead, God is portrayed as an all powerful being with nothing better to do each day than to be picking us off in turn to note our numerous sins! The Bible said so, the male priests preach it and we have to live it. So, as a teenager, I had a miserable anxious, guilt-ridden childhood. I was painfully aware that we could not really enjoy ourselves because everything that made us happy appeared to be an abomination to God and He was always ever present watching us. Sex was dirty and definitely out, so were rude jokes, raving parties and boys! No chance of escape as even our very thoughts constituted sin. Preoccupation With Sex&lt;br /&gt; Yet it was all a natural part of growing up, this preoccupation with things sexual, because the changes within our body were phenomenal and not really understood. The Church's obsession with sex was a revelation in itself. Only attending mass and confessing our sins regularly would save us. But save us from what? Innocent thoughts? Our bodily functions which were a natural part of our growth and evolution? Gradual self-discovery and truth about our faith? What I did not understand then was that the love of God which was so regularly trumpeted by the priests was in chronically short supply because it had been replaced by fear of God, and nothing ruled by fear can ever be positive and uplifting. If we missed church just once that was a mortal sin. So each Sunday I competed with the lark for the 5 o'clock call, eager to be first in line for confession, compassion and communion, but they were as straw against the merciless wind of sin and shame. I would enter the convent, that would do it, I thought. I could serve God wholeheartedly and be free from all these 'wicked' thoughts. But in between the daily masses, novenas and spiritual rituals all I heard about was sin - huge massive mortal sins; medium sized original sins; tiny fluttery venial sins. Where did it all end, this world full of sin? Did we ever get good on earth? Not on your life. We had to wait until Judgement Day. Then one day I visited a handicapped neighbour who was a devout Catholic but was never able to attend mass. A saintly cheerful woman who would give her last penny to others, she worried and fretted constantly about committing various sins through missing mass. She had no means to travel to church and her pastor never once visited her either. I often wondered if her soul was riddled with massive black spots for all the services she missed? So many huge mortal sins. How did she cope? She must be damned in hell for good. The realisation of how such cruel brainwashing affected her peace of mind, the way it preyed on her conscience and stopped her from enjoying her life and faith fully, propelled me from the convent faster than a bullet.

Maybe you are a little curious as to how aviation shades have gotten so big in recent years? In this article I will discuss how pilot glasses began, as well as how they got where they are today. After reading this you may just decide on getting a pair for yourself! The shades we know today were first created way back in 1936 by none other than Ray Ban. The reason they are known as aviator sunglasses is because they were developed specifically for pilots back in 1936. Pilots needed a good pair of anti glare sunglasses, and Ray Bans design satisfied this requirement perfectly. The design that Ray Ban came up with was actually modeled directly from the goggles being worn by the U.S. military at the time. Since the aviators debut, they have remained largely unchanged in design and are still standard issue for military pilots the world over. Maybe even more interesting is how aviation shades have literally taken off with the general public (no pun intended). Ray Ban started selling aviator sunglasses to the public a year after they were created; in 1937. During the years many different companies have now started making their own pilot shades -- Both name brand and no name sunglasses. Different technologies have also come into fashion Some of them stay and some of them go. For instance, have you seen those mirrored aviator glasses that were popular in the movie Top Gun? Those are a technology all their own. Even different lenses are sometimes used, but glass is still the most popular. Perhaps the biggest change has been all the different colors coming out. Blue, purple, and pink are just a few of the colors you can now find being sported on aviation glasses. Celebrities have also been boosting these shades reputation as of late - Many of the biggest stars can be seen wearing them. All of the above combined have contributed to the huge success of aviator sunglasses. We can only expect them to get even more popular in the near future. *************************************************** &lt;br /&gt;Cody Kahl is creator and writer of Aviator Glasses Guide  A site &lt;br /&gt;dedicated to providing only the best aviator sunglasses information. &lt;br /&gt;Cody believes in quality, and this free resource proves it. &lt;br /&gt;*************************************************** Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Cody_Kahl http://EzineArticles.com/?The-History-Of-Aviator-Sunglasses&amp;id=29878 &lt;a href="http://www.sbe.hw.ac.uk/FormFeed/user/view.php?id=53&amp;course=1"&gt;payday lender pa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.northantsadultlearning.org.uk/moodle/user/view.php?id=739&amp;course=1"&gt;no credit check bill consilidation loan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://jaltcall.org/lms/user/view.php?id=69&amp;course=1"&gt;same day 1st mortgage loans&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.vle-eastmidlands.co.uk/leas/nhs/brackenleas/user/view.php?id=36&amp;course=1"&gt;loaning family money&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7245359539630996464-6400079075572917834?l=crislerloutitia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7245359539630996464/posts/default/6400079075572917834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7245359539630996464/posts/default/6400079075572917834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crislerloutitia.blogspot.com/2008/05/history-of-aviator-sunglasses.html' title='The History Of Aviator Sunglasses'/><author><name>crislerloutitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16677883497965542156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245359539630996464.post-3334839752139280625</id><published>2008-05-12T21:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T21:44:16.129-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Outdoor Barstools</title><content type='html'>By Jason Albright Outdoor barstools are used in home and commercial areas for gardens, balconies, patios, and decks. Outdoor barstools make it possible to enjoy the outdoors in the comfort of your own garden, yard, or poolside. They help extend the living and entertaining area of your home into a natural environment. A variety of styles and designs are available in outdoor barstools to suit the look and feel of your backyard. When you are choosing outdoor barstools, youll need to consider the type of material used to create them. The ideal outdoor barstool material is resistant to climate changes. Since the outdoor barstools will be exposed to the elements for at least part of the year, this is an important consideration. The outdoor barstools could be exposed to sun, rain, heat, dust and cold temperatures, depending on how often they were used. Choose outdoor barstools that are weather resistant and easy to clean. Metal outdoor barstools tend to last longer than other varieties, and wooden outdoor barstools need to be specially treated for the elements. Purchasing weather resistant outdoor barstools will prevent you from needing to move them when the weather changes. You may also want to consider getting folding outdoor barstools for easy transport. Outdoor barstools are available without backs or arms, however these features normally make them more comfortable to use. Other choices for outdoor barstools include swivel or stationary designs. Make sure to take careful measurements of the table or bar where the outdoor barstools are to be used. Youll want to choose an outdoor barstool that is 10 to 13 inches lower that the counter top. This will provide maximum comfort for your guests and ensure that your outdoor barstools will be used frequently. Outdoor barstools are available from local home improvement and furniture stores. They can also be purchased online from several retailers.

Education-based marketing is simply the process by which you attract and convert highly-qualified clients by giving them what they want - valuable information and advice that solves their problems - and removing what they don't want, a sales pitch. Education-based marketing is generally undertaken by delivering Credibility Marketing techniques such as public speaking, information based teleclasses, publications, networking, hotlines, free educational give aways (such as reports, assessments, tools, ecourses), etc. As opposed to sales-based marketing, education-based marketing means. - You give your prospect what they really want - highly valuable information. And you take away what they don't want - a sales pitch. - You maintain your dignity and feel good about yourself as you never make an effort to sell. - Your brand recognition and respect will skyrocket! Education-based marketing is the ultimate brand builder. By positioning yourself as the 'expert' or 'specialist' by solving, through your education products, the most pressing issues your niche confronts. You become the only logical choice in your market. - You can establish yourself as a credible authority as prospects depend on you as a reliable source of valuable advice. - You significantly reduce your marketing costs - and can in fact get paid to market yourself. This vastly compounds the net worth of every client you attract - you can actually earn double the net profit with only half the clients! - You don't have to seek out new prospects - prospects come to you (to have their problems solved). - You can maintain (mutually beneficial) contact with your prospects through the sales process because they don't feel pressured by a sales pitch and value your information and advice. - You reach prospects early during the first stages of their decision making process. - You attract 'moderately interested' prospects that may otherwise be afraid to call you but are not afraid to request your information. - Due to the high level of trust and rapport built early on you'll be perceived as an adviser, not a salesperson, making added-value sales dramatically easier. - You dramatically increase your referrals from prospects as they feel loyal to you - due to a relationship built on trust and reciprocal obligation and your efforts to help them - even if they don't hire you! And your referrals will come much earlier in your relationship. - You gain compounded advantage as your information is passed freely between prospects within your niche. - You gain a competitive advantage because not many competitors are using education-based marketing. - You achieve a highly leveraged advantage as you can put forward your marketing even when you are not present. - You save valuable time as you often are delivering your message directly to your most highly qualified target audience. As you can see, education-based marketing is the exact opposite to sales-based marketing, and can make an extraordinary difference to your business, and your enjoyment of 'doing' business. So, ask yourself, "How much education-based marketing am I currently doing?" and "How can I develop a marketing plan significantly comprised of education-based marketing methodologies?"

Brokerage boat/yacht charter is the broker-assisted sale of charter times on boats/yachts. Brokerage boats/yachts, on the other hand, is the broker-assisted sale of the boats/yachts. These two distinct roles are not usually performed by a single broker, while, quite the opposite, these two brokerage tasks are carried out by the same brokerage company. Nonetheless, it is important to focus on the significant function of the broker in acting upon these procedures more effectively and conveniently. The Brokers Role in Selling or Buying Brokerage Boats: Selling Your Boats Selling your boats through brokerage especially makes it easier to find the buyers for your boat. Selling a boat, as with selling anything else, could be a very strenuous task; thus, employing the aid of a broker makes the whole transaction, beginning from advertising and pricing down to the closing agreement and delivery, a whole lot simpler for the brokerage boats seller. Like real estate agents, brokers list, represent, and sell boats for their owners in exchange for his earned commission. The broker offers the following assistance in selling brokerage boats: 1. use of his professional know-how 2. establishing a fair asking price for your boats 3. preparing the listing for the public buyers information and distribution 4. getting the boats ready 5. performing surveys and orientation sails on your boat with and for the buyers, and 6. acting out a successful negotiation and closed deals with buyers Buying Boats Buying boats could be confusing for those people who do not have ample information on the various boats sold in the market. Buying a boat, especially for first time buyers may pose difficulty in settling on which boat features and/or price are the best for purchase; thus, employing the aid of a broker makes all the intricacies of buying a boat a whole lot easier for the brokerage boats buyer. Like real estate agents, brokers are agents whom people can consult with in finding and purchasing the best boats for their needs. The broker offers the following assistance in buying brokerage boats: 1. helping buyers to find and focus on their interests 2. researching on your pre-purchased or pre-selected boats 3. concluding a great deal with the boat dealer, and 4. carrying out after-buying boat insurance, docking, mooring, storage, and even sailing lessons or putting you in touch with sailing clubs Milos Pesic is a successful webmaster and owner of popular and comprehensive Brokerage information site.

How Does It Work?</title><content type='html'>By Jean Lam Ok, so you had a lot of food during your holidays and now you are uncomfortable because you gained a few pounds, so what? Just attend your local gym for a few weeks and you will end up looking better than before! But wait, life does not always work like that does it? You probably have a job, maybe even two of them, and you have a family to take care of, or maybe you have to go to school; in any case, chances are that your duties are overwhelming; the fact is that over 70% of the population does not even have time to attend a gym. Now what? Well, I am here to tell you about a new weight loss technique, it is called isometric exercising. Isometric weight loss is based on a series of routines that may be followed anywhere: in your office while you work, sitting on your couch watching TV, at your bed before going to sleep, etcetera. With isometric weight loss you wont ever again have to visit a gym, and you wont be loosing any unnecessary energy in the process, because isometric weight loss focuses on the areas you actually need. If you have to work a lot, then isometric weight loss is just for you, just try contracting your abs repeatedly; at first you might feel strange, but after a few sessions, isometric weight loss will become a habit, and you will do it even unconsciously. And the best part is that you wont ever feel tired of doing it, you will get out of work as energized as always, even a little bit more, and instead of having to drive all the way to your gym, you can enjoy the rest of your day by doing those things that you love the most. Isometric weight loss is the answer for your prayers, and it is much more efficient than those exercise routines that they make you follow in the gym. If you are aiming to shed a few pounds out of your waistline, then isometric weight loss will work wonders for you, just keep in mind that every time you contract those stomach muscles, you are actually losing weight. Try the isometric weight loss routine for a week or two, you will notice amazing results after that short period of time, and you will be most pleased, I can guarantee that.

They are designed to meet several objectives, one of which is that it is supposed to ease the chafing caused by footwear when worn directly on bare feet. It makes the feet warm and absorbs the sweat that emanates from the feet. To provide a meaning with a different context, the term sock is also the word describing the thin layer of leather of similar material that covers the insole of the shoe. The term half-sock is described to the half-covered insole where the forepart is made visible. As mentioned above, socks are very useful for absorbing the sweat produced by the feet. It draws the sweat to areas where free-flowing air dries up the perspiration avoiding feet odor build-up. Likewise, in cold environments, socks serves as remover of moisture produced by the feet and decreases the risk of a person being inflicted with frostbite. Athletic shoes, casual shoes, and even boots require the use of socks. Fashion has also allowed the use of socks on open-toed shoes such as sandals. Still, this practice of using socks in sandals is considered unfashionable in several social circles. Indoors, socks can be worn without a shoe just for the comfort and warmth that it brings. It is most convenient if the socks worn are wool socks.  Wool socks are worn for the comfort that the wool material gives to the wearer. During the old days, people used to wrap their feet in wools from sheep, much like sandals, to protect them from harsh elements and keep them warm throughout the day. Though socks are usually made from cotton and polypropylene, wool socks are becoming more popular due to the softer and warmer touch it gives to the feet. Socks come in many colors but the usual fashion requirements are colored or dark socks for formal attire and white socks for athletic and casual attire. The length of socks also varies either from ankle-high up to being knee-high. Just-below-the-knee socks are used in sports such as soccer, football and basketball. The fencing sports wear extra long socks that reach beyond the knee. Ankle socks, on the other hand, are usually used with athletic shoes, especially by teenagers and young adults. Other styles of socks available are mid-calf, bare, crew and toe socks. The important thing that people must always observe in terms of fashion when wearing socks is that the color of the socks must complement the color of either the shoes or the pants.

The underlying principle is that it is the excess carbohydrates and not the fats that cause weight gain. Low carbohydrate diets advocates that we restrict the carbohydrate intake to as little as 20 grams a day or less if better depending on the program. However the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine of the academies of Science recommended that the daily allowance of carbohydrates for young adults should not fall below the minimum of 100 grams. As early as 2004, both the Atkins Nutritionals and Dr. Barry Sears, creator of "The Zone", stated that they do not recommended their products for these people and only market their dieting programs to older adults only. Dr. Arthur Agatston, the author of the South Beach Diet does recommend his plan for young adults, but they have to omit the first phase of his two weeks introductory program. Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eades, creator of Protein Power, says that their programs can be used on these young people so long as they start in phase two. SugarBusters, which is less restrictive in terms of carbohydrate allowances, has a separate plan for these young people. The carbohydrates that you consume in food are the main source for cellular energy and central nervous systems functioning. Carbohydrates convert to glucose and the pranceas pumps out insulin that unlocks cells and allows the glucose energy inside. Low carb advocates says that consuming too much carbohydrate overload this finely balanced system and triggers the release of too much insulin which eventually will be stored as fats. Too much circulating insulin is also associated with insulin resistance and raises heart diseases risk. Many low carbohydrate diets replace sugar and starches with protein rich food such as red meat and eggs. Critics of carbohydrate reduction say that the high levels of artery clogging fats and cholesterols from such foods are a one way ticket to heart diseases. However some studies have found that after six to twelve months, many people on a reduced carbohydrate diet have actually improved their blood cholesterol level. But there are no studies longer than a year that measure the impact of these low carbohydrate and high protein diets on the cardiovascular system. Until now, we still do not have enough evidence and the jury is still out.

It is necessary to have a glance over the Western medical or healthcare scenario in order to have a clear picture of the kind of competition that can crop up between the former and the Third World medical tourism industry. In some undeveloped regions of the world, the medical facilities are hard to come by, whereas in other countries, the public healthcare system is so overburdened that it would take years to get needed care. For instance, in countries like Britain and Canada, the waiting period for a hip replacement surgery can be more than a year; while in Bangkok or Bangalore, a person can find himself in the operation theatre just after landing the very same day! Not only this, the cost involving the total process is much less than that charged in Western countries. For example, a heart-valve replacement that would cost $200,000 or more in the U.S. costs a mere $10,000 in India that includes round-trip airfare and a brief vacation package as well. Doubts are often raised regarding the quality of service offered by medical tourist destinations. But such arguments have no solid ground as the facilities and services offered by them are almost equal or even better than the Western medical services. There are hospitals and clinics that cater to the tourist market that are often among the best in the world. Most of them staff physicians who have received training from famous medical centers in United States or Europe. Bangkoks Bumrundgrad hospital has more than 200 surgeons who are board-certified in the US, and one of Singapores major hospitals is a branch of the prestigious Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Statistics suggest that the services offered in some of the leading medical tourist destinations often exceed their Western counterparts. As for example, the Escorts Heart Institute and Research Center in Delhi and Faridabad, India, performs nearly 15,000 heart operations every year, and the death rate among patients during surgery is only 0.8 percent--less than half that of most major hospitals in the US. These figures are enough to clarify whatever doubts some skeptics might have on their minds. The future prospect of healthcare tourism in developing nations thus appears to be bright as it is expected to acquire a loyal clientele in the US and other western countries. With more than 43 million US citizens without health insurance and 120 million without dental coverage, seeking medical aid outside their country would high on their priority list. Besides, there is an ever-increasing demand for cosmetic surgery and dental treatments in European countries. These operations are highly expensive out there and as such, more and more people are turning to the East for an affordable alternative. Thailand and Phuket have emerged as the most popular medical tourism destinations over the years. However, medical tourism in India is quickly catching up with this competition and is on its way to become one of the favorite spots of medical tourists. The Indian medical tourism industry is now being recognized as one of the major earners of foreign exchange and is estimated that India could bring as much as $2.2 billion per year by 2012. Medical tourism industry is therefore all set to lure patients from all over the world. Many medical tourism organizations have set up alliances with some of the leading medical and healthcare centers like Apollo, Gleneagles Medical Center, Wockhardt, Dentzz, Fortis and so on. With their world-class support, the medical tourism industry is sure to zoom its way to success.

Which approach do you think we consistently choose?  Yep...the wrong one. The Real Weight Problem Gaining weight is your problem, not losing it.  Until you learn how not to gain weight, all weight loss efforts are done in vain.  First, recognize that there are two types of weight gain...Natural Age Related Weight Gain and Weight Regain.Natural Age Related Weight Gain Gaining weight as you age is inevitable.  Even body builders, athletes purposely building muscle, can not keep up with the body's relentless drive to slow down the metabolic rate. As the rate drops, the amount of energy consumed each day drops developing a huge positive energy balance, perfect for gaining weight.  You have to do something with all the extra energy you're consuming. Unfortunately, the law of thermodynamics tells us we can not create or destroy energy.  So if you eat it, plan on burning it.  This way you're never left asking, "Where did I go wrong?" Weight Regain--The gaining of weight during or immediately after dieting. Weight regain is completely avoidable.  It also is the most dangerous type of weight gain to your health. Many recent reports have shown that weight cycling or the Yo-Yo Diet may have associated risks far worse than obesity itself.  Personally, I don't think comparing the degree of risk between yo-yo dieting and obesity is useless.  Who cares? If you're obese or overweight, lose weight and feel better; just don't weight cycle while you try to lose the weight.   So, how are you going to lose weight, keep it off, and avoid weight cycling?  I have a few suggestions...check out my next article in a few days. In the meantime, do your own research and investigate ways to speed up your metabolism.  Then, if you're feeling really academic, find ways to stabilize a fast metabolism. If you can keep your metabolism from slowing down, weight gain of either type are non-issues. To Healthy Living!

Don't know what to Look for in a Business College? There are many schools out there offering business degrees. Deciding which business college to attend is a decision that should not be taken lightly.  When you think about it, every single industry is completely dependant upon the business skills of those it employs in order to be successful.  Thats why choosing the right business college is crucial to your success! For starters, you want to choose a business college that has a proven reputation- one thats been around for a while.  Basically you want to stay away from a fly-by-night operation that could leave town at the drop of a hat, leaving you and your new career out in the cold.  Colleges offering accredited business degrees are the first schools to consider. Make sure that your business college is legitimate by asking them to you show their accreditations. Next, you need to be sure they offer a curriculum that is designed and provided by the very best in the industry.  Business needs and demands are constantly changing, so be sure that any of the business colleges you consider can adjust to whichever way the wind blows. Current trends and tricks of the trade, as well as the know-how and understanding to help you over the hurdles and through the obstacles of earning your business degree, all while still meeting your personal obligations, such as work and family life - your ideal business college will be able to help you with this sometimes intricate balancing act. In fact, some of the more contemporary business colleges have programs in which you can complete all or part of your degree online.  Still others will have the best of both, offering a blended-learning format which gives you the ability to take one class online one week and in the physical classroom the next. You just cant get any better than that! To get all that you possibly can out of your business college and associate degree, you must possess commitment and drive.  Possessing the necessary people and communication skills, problem solving ability and having a love for the industry prior to enrollment into your ideal business college will help to ensure youre taking sure-footed steps onto the correct path of your life!

Things to do, and things not to do, plus other valuable information. First of all, women instinctively know when you're asking them "out out", as in you're asking them because you have a "romantic interest". When you do this it ALSO puts the woman in the driver's seat in the situation, because she instantly realizes that she has something you want. Have you ever heard of "wanting it tax"? It's when the price goes up the more you want it. Most guys do the exact same things. They start talking to a woman, then say "Hey, can I take you out sometime?" or "Do you have a boyfriend?". Put simply, this is NOT how to ask a woman on a date. It makes you look like a wuss boy that needs a girlfriend. And if she's not interested (which she probably won't be), then it WILL create some discomfort in the future. Here are some GOOD things to do in preparation and to practice while learning how to ask a woman on a date: 1. Hold yourself upright. Think of how you'd hold yourself if you were the most confident person in the world. 2. Move slowly. Gesture slowly. Speak slowly. Blink slowly. This communicates comfort and confidence. 3. Pause often. Only respond if you choose to. Remember, you don't need to react or respond to anything that you don't want to. Women often try to push you off balance. Don't fall for it. Stay cool, and pause if you need to&lt;br /&gt;in order to keep your composure- espcially true if your first learning how to ask a woman on a date or you're the timid type. Being cool or "indifferent" sets you apart INSTANTLY from all the loser guys who are saying "Hi, you're really pretty. Can I take you out on a date?" Here are some BAD things to avoid doing when learning how to ask a woman on a date. Practice these and you'll amaze yourself: 1. Talking too fast or too much. This communicates that you're nervous and sketchy (unless you're telling a really interesting story, or you have integrated fast talking into your personality in an interesting way, of course). 2. Nervous gestures, laughs, ticks, etc. I've met many guys who laugh nervously after just about everything they say. This is the DEATH of attraction. It instantly communicates insecurity. 3. Breaking eye contact. At first, you need to maintain eye contact until SHE breaks it. This establishes at an unconscious level that you're not afraid. If it's a woman you know, tease her, bust on her, and generally act like you don't care. Make a comment about her and walk away. Be Cocky &amp; Funny when you're with her, and don't be boring. Then, if she's responding positively (laughing, hitting you, telling you that you're a pain, etc.), then say "Hey, do you have email?" If she does, have her write it down, then say "Bye". From a MAN'S perspective this might not seem any different than just asking a woman out on a date. But from the WOMAN'S perspective it's VERY different. First of all, you've never shown her any romantic interest, which doesn't give up your power in the situation, and hand it all to her. Learning how to ask a woman on a date is about "indifference". Second, instead of putting "dating" pressure on her, you've only asked her for her email address (and maybe her number as well). But you HAVEN'T asked her on a date, you HAVEN'T created any kinds of weird vibes in the air, and you HAVE made her wonder what you have in mind. So to sum it up, being indifferent, playful, funny, and calm is how to ask a woman on a date, and that will take you to the next level. Do you know how to keep the conversation interesting?

The Problem With Weight-Loss Diets Millions of slimmers move from this weight loss diet to that weight loss program to yet another set of weight loss tips in a more or less permanent rotation.  And when one diet fails theres always another to try.  Serial dieting has become a way of life.  Yet almost everyone gets even fatter.  Why is this? The core reason is because most diet plans tend to concentrate on weight loss by means of calorie reduction.  And the main differences between weight loss plans are merely the discipline or compliance or selling point involved.  But their real substance is to take in fewer calories to make the fat go away.  Sounds sensible, doesnt it? 2.    The First Big Problem Kicks-In Fast At first it works!  Weight loss is achieved, especially at the beginning when a fair amount of water is lost.  But the first big problem is that the body needs water - lots of it.  In fact, around 70% of it is water.  So dehydration isnt too clever and this initial weight loss is very difficult to maintain for long. 3.    The Second Big Problem Inevitably Follows When calories are cut the body defends itself by reducing the expenditure of energy to cope with the reduced intake.  Even for a short period, this reduction of metabolism causes less muscle-use, which causes muscle-loss. In other words, starving the body by sharply cutting calories starves muscle.  This is a problem because muscles burn lots of calories.  As a result of this double process, the metabolism is reduced and this again acts as a brake on the rate of weight loss. 4.    What Can The Dieter Do About This? Assuming sufficient willpower, the dieter could cut calories even further in an attempt to maintain the initial momentum.  Fortunately, the more probable result is that the dieter gets too hungry and breaks the diet because its almost impossible to reduce calories indefinitely like this. 5.    Breaking The Diet Is Good Naturally, this isnt so hot for the weight loss target.  The first reason for this is well known and the second less so. The first effect is that all the weight lost is put back on again - usually rapidly.  In fact, if this has happened to you, you frequently weighed more at this point than at the start of the diet.  Usually, this means that you soon start yet another sensational diet. 6.    Your Diet Has Increased Your Capacity To Store FAT The second and lesser-known effect of the diet relates to the muscle that has been lost.  Apart from being unhealthy, loss of muscle is completely counter-productive to weight loss and is a key cause of you now being heavier. The reason is that muscle burns calories.  So, a reduction of muscle decreases the metabolic rate and the body is even less capable of burning fat than previously.  As a consequence of the loss of muscle and the reduced metabolism, the body has become even better at storing fat! In other words, you starved to get fatter. 7.    It Gets Worse Now this can be very depressing.  And this means theres a high probability that a session of emotional eating will begin.  No prizes for guessing where this leads to. You are now heavier and fatter.  You have less calorie-burning muscle and a lower metabolism.  You have less fat-burning capacity than when you started.  You are fatter, less healthy and probably less wealthy. 8.    How To Break This Cycle? The answer is to ditch these diets.  As before, your first aim is to take in less calories than are used up.  The trick is to do this without loss of muscle that lowers your metabolism. The crucial question is: how can this be done?  My guess is that you already know the answer.  Thats right, exercise.  The only combination that works to make you slimmer and healthier and looking better is to reduce your calorie input a little and increase your exercise output a lot. Now this is unpalatable for many.  Lets face it, theres apparently no end to the amount of money, pills, potions, gadgets and effort that some people will go through to avoid exercise.  Thats their problem.  Why make it yours? 9.    Why Exercise Works Exercise works in two brilliant ways.  The first is that it uses calories, raises the metabolic rate and burns off fat.  The second is that, if done correctly, exercise tones and builds muscle instead of reducing it.  And because muscle increases metabolism, this in turn burns calories, even when not exercising. And you can forget the idea that you need to hump weights or turn into a muscle-monster to do it.  You dont.  What you do need is to plan a modest reduction of calories and an improvement in the quality of your eating and drinking.  Accompany this with a big increase in exercise. 10.    TWO Definite Donts 1. Dont kid yourself that dieting will save you time.  Its an illusion. 2. Dont kid yourself that you should diet first before getting physically active.  Get going now and stick at it. 11.    Hey, Good Looking! Fat doesnt generally score as high on the appearance scales as it does on the weighing scales.  A firm conditioned body is healthier and looks better.  Its also far better for personal confidence. In other words, you look better and feel better because you are better.  So, get going. 12.    But What If You Dont Like Exercise? Thats definitely bad news. The good news is that although getting more fitness and less fatness can be tough, its not nearly as tough as getting fatter and fatter.  So, make up your mind.  Which is best, being permanently out-of-condition or working out maybe 4 regular 30 or 40 minute slots a week for less than 3 hours in total? Is that so tough?

But some people shy away from taking up a crafty hobby because they don't think they have enough time to learn something new and don't really know where to start. You could always spend some time at the library reading about your chosen field, or you could do it the easy way. Pick up a craft kit and start crafting right away. If you're looking to learn a new skill or take up a new hobby, a craft kit is a great first step. You get to test the waters so to speak without investing a lot of time and money in something that might not be fro you. If you decide that you don't like your new hobby, no big deal. You won't end up with lots of money invested and a garage full of equipment you'll never use again. I doesn't matter what craft you want to try out, chances are you'll find a kit just for you. There are sewing kits, needlepoint, macram, woodworking, candle making, ceramic kits, and more than I can go into here. What all the kits have in common, is that you get everything you need for a project. Kits not only include all the supplies you'll need like cloth, thread, or patterns, but you'll also get any special equipment you might need to complete your project. Depending on the kit, the tools you get may not be the highest quality, but until you decide to peruse your new hobby further, you may not want the best most expensive tools. The best part about crafting from a kit, is you get simple step by step instructions. Even if you're not looking to take up a new pastime, a craft kit can make addition to family nights. You hear so many people talking about never having enough family time these days. A kit you and your kids can work on together can be a great solution. Much better than sitting in front of the TV and not talking. The best part is you get to keep the finished product. Unlike a jigsaw puzzle that goes back into the box when you're finished, you can keep your craft for years as a wonderful reminder of time spent with the ones you love. Craft kits are also a great way to keep kids occupied when they're out of school. Don't forget about craft kits when it comes time to give gifts either. I'm not talking about just giving someone a kit, but using the kit yourself to make a handmade gift. Gifts you make yourself are incredibly personal and can show that special someone just how much you care. If you're not exactly crafty but want to experience giving a handmade gift, just pick up a craft kit. No more excuses, if you've been wanting to try out something new, pick up a craft kit today. You'll find all kinds at your local craft store from starter kits to more complex kits. Find one that's right for you and get crafty today.&lt;br /&gt;Copyright 2007 Marge Snow About the Author: Marge is an avid crafter and gardener.

It allows us to manipulate objects in an infinite number of directions at various speeds.  The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and provides many degrees of motion.  This freedom of motion allows us to reach high and low, far and near for objects in space.  The large amount of shoulder mobility does not come without a price. Increase in shoulder or (Glenohumeral Joint) mobility leads to a decrease in the stability of the joint.  When a joint is unstable, it is more likely to suffer an injury. The most common injury to the shoulder is from a repetitive movement on an unstable joint.  This movement can vary from typing at a computer with poor posture to an unstable tennis or golf swing.  Shoulder injuries are not discriminatory to a specific sport or action.  They affect both male and females athletes and non-athletes alike.  The following guidelines in this article will help to prevent the possibility of developing a shoulder injury due to overhead sports, poor posture and improper weight training. Anatomy &lt;br /&gt;The shoulder complex is made up of four joints.  The glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular joint, sternoclavicular joint and the scapulothoracic joint.  Aside from these joints, there are other anatomical structures that play a large role in normal shoulder function.  These include the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (upper back), clavicle and ribs.  If any one of these structures is not functioning properly, they will have a direct negative impact on the shoulder complex.  Full shoulder flexion in the saggital plane in a normal adult is 180.  This movement is not accomplished by the glenohumeral joint alone.  In fact, full arm elevation involves thoracic extension, the 1st &amp; 2nd ribs must depress and move posterior, the scapula (shoulder blade) must rotate upwards, the clavicle needs to elevate and roll back and finally the glenohumeral joint needs to glide downward and roll upward.  Mechanism of InjuryIf any one of these movements does not occur, the shoulder joint is susceptible to injury.  The most common area of injury to the shoulder occurs in what is known as the sub-acromial space.  This space is located just under the acromioclavicular joint.  There are many structures passing through this space leading to a very tight passage.  Included in this space is rotator cuff tendons, neurovascular bundles and other connective tissues.  If any one of these structures is irritated or injured, inflammation occurs.  Inflammation will take up valuable real estate in the sub-acromial space leading to possible impingement of the tendons, nerves or vasculature.  The Rotator Cuff Muscles play a vital role in shoulder stability and injury prevention.  The job of the four rotator cuff muscles (infraspinatus, supraspinatus, teres minor &amp; subscapularis) is to synergistically contract at the same time to hold the shoulder centrally in the glenoid fossa to maintain an precise axis of rotation.  If any one of these muscle is weak or injured, the shoulder will migrate out of position and either elevate or move forward in the joint capsule.  This movement reduces space in the sub-acromial region which often leads to rotator cuff impingement.  The rotator cuff tendons rub against the acromion causing friction, inflammation and eventually will tear if not resolved. The three rules of prevention.  1.  Proper posture 2.  Good body mechanics 3.  Well rounded exercise program We are a product of our environment.  A normal day for someone consists of the following:  Wake up and head down to the breakfast table.  We may sit for 20 minutes eating breakfast.  Shower, get in the car or train and sit for a daily commute to work.  Many people are sitting at a desk working on a computer for at least 5 hours daily.  Then we get back in the car for the commute home.  Dinner time arrives and again we sit down at the table for an hour.  Following dinner maybe we sit and watch television or sit reading a book.  Do you see a common theme here?   Most of us are sitting all day long.When positioned in a seated position, gravity works against us to pull our head and shoulders forward.  This posture leads to a decrease in sub-acromial space and places us at risk for shoulder impingement.  How can this be avoided?  Having a good ergonomic chair that places the hips slightly above the knees will orient the back in a good position.  Arm rests are important for taking pressure of the shoulder girdle.  The neck should be positioned in neutral by tucking the chin back in an attempt to lengthen the neck.  The shoulders should be positioned down and back.  Try to imagine bringing the shoulder blades toward the opposite back pocket.  A stretch should be felt across the chest and shoulders. Body Mechanics  Lifting, throwing and exercising using proper positioning can make a big difference in preventing injury.  When lifting something overhead, the shoulders must stay down.  If the shoulder moves upward towards the ears, you are increasing risk for impingement by closing down the sub-acromial space.  Repetitive movements using improper body mechanics leads to shoulder injury.  If an athletic movement such as the golf swing or tennis serve leads to pain in the shoulder, dont try to work through the pain.  Seek professional advice from a physical therapist or a sports doctor.  You may avoid a serious injury by inquiring when the discomfort first begins.  Waiting until you can't bear the pain usually means the injury is serious and may require surgery.   &lt;br /&gt;Shoulder Exercises  Exercising the shoulder to prevent injury should be conducted three times per week.  There are many variations of exercises that can be used to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles and back musculature.  Seated rows and lat pull-downs are great ways to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder blades.  Keeping the shoulders down and pinching the blades together is the proper mechanics during this movement.  Shoulder external and internal rotation will keep the infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis strong.  Shoulder elevation to the front and side will strengthen the deltoids &amp; supraspinatus.  Make sure the shoulders do not hike up toward the ears with this exercise.  Finally, proper stretching to keep the shoulders and pectoral muscles loose is vital to healthy shoulders.  A door or corner stretch is great to open up the thoracic spine.  This is accomplished by placing both forearms along the frame of the door with the elbows at shoulder height and keeping the abdominals tight.  Gently bring the chest forward into the door until a comfortable stretch is felt across the chest and shoulders.  Do not bounce or arch low back.  This stretch should be held for a minimum of 30 seconds. In summary, proper posture and body mechanics is vital for preventing shoulder injuries.  A well balanced exercise program that promotes flexibility, rotator cuff and back strengthening and precise body mechanics during exercise will allow persons to excel in their respective activities minimizing the risk for shoulder injury.

Never quit. - Bear Bryant I don't know if Alex Zanardi has ever heard of Bear Bryant, but I can't think of anyone who personifies this quote more. Never heard of Zanardi? He is a race car driver, a former champion in the CART series, and an athlete who doesn't know the meaning of the word quit. On September 15, 2001 Zanardi was doing what race car drivers do, he was racing the American Memorial 500 near Brandenburg, Germany. Leading the race with 13 laps to go, he had made his final pit stop and was attempting to merge into traffic when he spun into the path of another driver. Unable to avoid the spinning car, his fellow competitor sliced Zanardi's car in two, claiming Zanardi's lower legs in the wreckage. Alex Zanardi almost didn't survive the crash. His heart stopped beating seven times as doctors saved his life but amputated both legs, one above the knee and one below. Zanardi's career as a race car driver was over. But was it? Fast forward to 2003 and where do we find Alex Zanardi? Back in Germany, back in a race car, finishing those 13 laps that cost him his career and almost his life. Not content to just be there, he was driving the car at speeds approaching 200 mph. Fitted with prosthetic limbs and in cars with hand controls, he has not only been competitive but has won on the World Touring Car Championship circuit, and has tested F1 cars for BMW. So what does this have to do with losing weight and getting fit? I can't help thinking of Alex Zanardi when things aren't going quite right with my training, or my nutrition plan isn't helping me lose bodyfat as fast as I want, or I am tempted to stay in bed instead of going to the gym. By the grace of God I have two arms to lift with and two legs to run on. Is there anything else I need? About Dean: Fed up with the way he looked and felt, Dean Carlson decided enough was enough. After wading through the conflicting diet and fitness information, and through much trial and error, he found himself 80 pounds lighter and with a new outlook on life. His desire to help other people get healthy and fit without going it alone led him to start Cr8 Health &amp; Fitness, where he shares his knowledge and passion for fitness with others looking to get off the diet roller coaster. Dean is a Certified Professional Fitness Trainer with the National Exercise and Sports Trainer Association.

We like to call it understanding the Real You. This quick eye opening quiz will let you understand the Real You just a tad better. This quiz is NOT scientific. It is meant to be fun and give you a few items to consider about the Real You. Don't take it too seriously, yet see what new insight or validation it has to offer you. Here goes: If space, money or regulations weren't an obstacle which one of the following would you like absolutely most as a pet? DogCatFerretMonkeyHorseTiger No peeking below until you've made your choice! This is NOT scientific, meant only to help you take a closer look at you in a very unsophisticated manner. This activity has been used successfully to facilitate discussions around self understanding in therapy groups. Please accept what fits for you and reject what doesn't... be honest though. Our pets tend to reflect our personalities. Here's what your choice suggests about you and how it impacts your relationship: Dog. You're faithful, loyal and trustworthy or you'd like to be. You tend to stick around even if you're been beat down or pushed around. You can become aggressive when cornered, but you're generally harmless and make up quickly after a quarrel. Cat. You're quite aloof and ever curious. You love the companionship of your partner, but on your terms. You're meticulously clean and like things orderly and routine. You definitely like to be in control. Ferret. You are a detective of sorts. You love to get at the root of problems. Therefore you're a fun partner when it comes to finding lost items, but one to be nervous around if you're trying to keep a secret. Monkey. You're high spirited and constantly chattering. You're inquisitive, assertive and like to be the life of the party. At times your partner might find you annoying while at other times you're just what's needed to add humor to a dull day. Horse. You're strong and loyal with just a tad of a wild streak. You respond well to a gentle hand and tend to flee when spooked or afraid. Hanging out together with your companion is your preference over being alone. And though basically cooperative you can be competitive too. Tiger. You are enamored by beauty and love to feel powerful. You're a bundle of energy and at times lash out in fury. Being alone is not a problem for you, on the contrary at times your companion has to entice you to doing things together. Any surprises? Had some laughs? Make a note of what you learned about yourself. And it would be a good idea to check this out with your partner and see what feedback you get. Of course you want to do the same for them. Remember the more you understand the Real You the better you and your partner can build a right relationship for your joint real happiness.

The best way to maintain weight loss is not lower calorie intake, but the kinds of calories you are eating.  Some of the more popular diets out there today are low carbohydrate diets and low calorie diets. First, a low calorie diet can be easy to do in the beginning, however, it is not healthy for someone to lower your calorie intake for too long.  Also, this type of diet is very tough to maintain. Most people will cheat on the low calorie weight loss diet. A low carbohydrate diet can also be successful in the beginning, but as with a low calorie diet, it is tough to maintain. If you workout or exercise, you will find the low carbohydrate diet will cause you to lose energy. If you do not have the energy, chances are you will probably slow down your workout routines. This will lead to abandoning the low carbohydrate weight loss diet. The best diet is one that shakes up your eating patterns to increase the metabolism and generate a quicker weight loss. This new weight loss diet does not have a person starve, it simply changes the way a person eats. For more information on a diet program that can shake up your eating patterns and speed up the weight loss process Click Here! This new weight loss diet will help you pattern your eating in a way that will help you lose weight just by changing the types of foods you eat. Believe it or not, it will also show you when and how much food you eat during the day. The amount of times you eat a day has an effect on the way the body stores the fat.  The key to weight loss is the pattern of eating.

Proper form.  &lt;br /&gt; Switch your workout plan every 4-6 weeks.  More often if you are an experienced weight trainer. &lt;br /&gt; The basic Keep Life Simple exercises are; bench press, lat pull downs, lunges, squats and crunches &lt;br /&gt; No more than 60 seconds rest between sets unless youre a power lifter. &lt;br /&gt; Use enough weight.  In general 8-10 reps to build muscle.  For toning 12-15 reps. Youre already doing everything right so whats the problem?  Wheres my six pack of abs? Could it be what youre eating?  Did you know that about 80% of the results you want to see in your body have to do with the food you eat?  Sure, the muscle is there but, we need to eat properly so that we can reveal the muscle that you have worked so hard for. Lets see; should I try the Grapefruit Diet, The Atikins Diet, The South Beach Diet, The Cabbage Soup Diet, The Zone?  Should I go high protein, high carbs, no carbs, only eat low glycemic index?  Do you see how complicated we can make eating just with the few diets Ive listed?  Personally, Im waiting for the potato chips, chocolate chip cookie and ice cream diet! Believe it or not eating is easier than you think.  God created a wonderful variety of fresh foods for us to eat.  In general if it comes in a box, dont buy it.  If it flies, swims, grows on a tree or in the ground, thats what you should be eating. Heres how really simple this is.  Im going to give you a chart of foods you should never eat and a chart of foods you should always eat.  It doesnt get any easier than that! 12 worst fat-storing foods you should never eat 12 foods you should eat all the time &lt;br /&gt;Ice cream Oatmeal (or other whole grain cooked cereals)&lt;br /&gt;Fried foods Yams or sweet potatoes&lt;br /&gt;Doughnuts and pastries Potatoes, white or red&lt;br /&gt;Candy, chocolate and sweets Brown rice&lt;br /&gt;Soda Whole wheat bread and 100% whole grain products&lt;br /&gt;Fruit drinks and other sugar sweetened beverages Vegetables&lt;br /&gt;Potato chips Fresh fruit&lt;br /&gt;Bacon and sausage Low fat and non fat dairy products&lt;br /&gt;White bread Chicken and turkey&lt;br /&gt;Hot dogs, burgers Egg whites or egg beaters&lt;br /&gt;Cookies Lean red meat (top round, extra lean sirloin)&lt;br /&gt;Sugary breakfast cereals Fish and shellfish Some of you like to have a lot of choices of what to eat and others, well, too many choices become dangerous.  It doesnt look like you have a lot of things to choose from but, think of how many types of fruits and vegetables there are.  Keep it simple and you cant go wrong. There is so much information out of nutrition and what a portion is but just in case youre not sure, heres the deal; Three ounces of meat is about the size of the palm of your hand.  A serving of fruits, vegetables, rice, etc is about a half cup.  Thats about the size of what you can hold in a cupped hand.  If you go to a fast food restaurant and they ask you would you like to supersize your meal?  Just say NO! If you are a 350 pound linebacker, or a competitive athlete, those figures are going to vary but, for the general population those figures are going to work. How do you tell if youre eating the right amount of food?  Again, keep it simple!  How your body looks and how your clothes fit are still 2 of the best ways to see whats working for you.   You can also measure body fat, weigh and take measurements. You know that were going to have to bring up the w word.  Yes, water.  Water is often over-looked as a nutrient.  People who do not drink enough water often feel lethargic; have headaches, muscle aches and cramps. Many people do not know how much water they really need during a day. &lt;br /&gt;How much water you need depends on your activity level, how many foods that you eat that are high in water content and if you drink alcohol, caffeine and your body weight.  A good rule of thumb is the traditional 64 ounces per day.  Thats 8-8 oz. glasses of water. Personally, I like to get in 70% ounces to pound in body weight.  If a person weighs 130 pounds, 70% of 130 pounds would be 91 ounces.  If you are very active or drink a lot of coffee, you will need more water.  Coffee and alcohol do not count as fluids in your diet.  I actually had a client ask me if the water in his scotch and water counted toward his fluids for the day.  The answer is.NO!!!! Water is one of the most important elements of the human body. It makes up approximately 70% of our muscles, and about 75% of our brains. It is also an essential part of a healthy diet and plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the body.  Some of water's many benefits  Transports essential nutrients throughout the body and rids the body of waste  &lt;br /&gt; Acts as a lubricant for the body, moistening eyes, mouth, nose, and skin  &lt;br /&gt; Helps maintain adequate blood volume  &lt;br /&gt; Helps regulate body temperature, especially in warm weather  &lt;br /&gt; Helps prevent constipation  &lt;br /&gt; Helps medications to work  &lt;br /&gt; Helps prevent urinary tract infections  &lt;br /&gt; Acts as an appetite suppressant  &lt;br /&gt; Is calorie-free  &lt;br /&gt; Boosts metabolism when drunk cold (we burn 2 calories per glass as we warm it up to body temperature) Be sure to reward your body with healthy food.  After all, your body is the Temple of God, not a wood shed. The third and final series to Keep Life Simple is motivation and visualization.  You wont want to miss this!

Exchange it...and watch diet drop out rates plummet. What is Diet Drop Out? To stop a diet plan before reaching your goal or before reaching a pre-defined time limit is called diet drop out.  Not one diet succeeds at keeping diet drop out rates low.  One or more of the following strategies are used by diet plans in attempts to eliminate diet drop out:Shorter Dieting Sessions This is a strategy that more often back fires, setting the stage for weight gain.  Subjects placed on shorter dieting sessions experienced weight loss at a faster rate than those following longer sessions. Fast weight loss (over 3-4 pounds/week) is unhealthy and negates any progress made on lowering diet drop out rates. Severe Calorie Restriction This strategy follows the same principle as faster dieting sessions.  Allow dieters to lose weight fast, and they won't have time to drop out.  Unfortunately, severe calorie restriction also causes weight gain. Diet Holidays This strategy allows dieters to take long breaks or "holidays" from following the diet.  However, the opposite result is often observed.  Diet drop out rates increase because many dieters never start the diet again. In order to provide a strategy that works, diet plans should ask dieters why they drop out.  Then simply provide a solution for the reason dieters drop out, problem solved. Why Dieters Drop Out When dieters are asked what is the hardest part about dieting, the response is surprising.  Most dieters say that following strict diet menus, not exercise, is the hardest part. A good strategy for decreasing diet drop out rates would address the menus.  This is exactly what Exchange It accomplishes...giving dieters more control over what they eat. The exchange process involves substituting healthy food choices for harmful ones.  For instance, substitute a healthy fat, like Omega-3, for saturated fats.  This allows you to eat more fats, and still remain on your diet. To learn more about Exchange It! and other new dieting strategies, click... Exchange &amp; Other Dieting Strategies To Healthy Living!

This may be because mens' fashion tends to focus on clothes and accessories instead of hairstyles. If you are looking for information about different hairdos then you can start by looking at classical hairstyles for men. Look to Hollywoods leading men like George Clooney for great classic cut ideas. If you would prefer a style that is more in step with hair trends then you can look to young Hollywood for popular mens' hair cuts. If you have short hair then you can use gel to spike your hair up. If you have medium length hair then you try for a messy look style. This particular style has been very popular with men in the recent years. If you are try to create a great look with thinning hair then you will need to play to the shape and texture of your hair to get the best results. For example if you have high peaks at your forehead then you should look for hair cuts that are closely cropped and neat. This will create a classic and sophisticated look. If you are trying to find a good mens hair style then you can start by looking at pictures of men who have a similar build and face shape as you have. See how these men are wearing their hair. You can then take the photograph of the hairstyle that you like to a barber or hair stylist to get the look transferred to your own scalp. If you are having troubles finding a hair style that you like then you can always talk to your hair stylist for recommendations.

I have found a few useful tips that can greatly improve your progress. I fought this battle for years, now I know how to beat it. Tip #1. I have found that you only need to do a couple of targeted exercises to improve your mid-section. There is really no need to go to a gym or do long difficult exercise routines. The first is obvious, crunches, yes you will need to do crunches because this helps to tighten a tone the abdominal wall. By toning the abs your waist will become slimmer faster. The other belly buster is torso twists. Twists have been around for a long time but seem to have lost popularity recently. This simple exercise is still great for slimming your waistline. These exercises do not need to be done everyday. Your abdominal muscles are like any other muscle, working them every other day is plenty.&lt;br /&gt;These two simple exercises will flatten your belly. Tip #2. Your diet is an important part of slimming your waist. By simply trimming a few calories everyday your results will begin to show. I usually just change a few of the things that I eat each day, and make healthier choices. I eat a lot of fruit instead of sugary snacks. I cut back on processed carbohydrates. These would include breads, pasta, rice, and potatoes. If I eat any of these it is always the whole wheat variety. Do not go on a crash diet, the goal is to be able to maintain the loss over the long haul. Tip #3. Supplements. I have tried many supplements to gain better results. The single best supplement I have tried is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia is a powerful appetite suppressant that has no known side effects. This supplement can give you a definite advantage when it comes to losing that belly fat.

There are beaches, long and beautiful across the world but none of them could be a match for the ultimate Hawaii beaches. The Big Island of Hawaii especially has activities like scuba diving and snorkeling to enjoy. Some of the well known beaches in the Big Island are at Kohala coast, Kona District, Hilo District, Puna and Kau districts. Then there are other beaches which are equally exotic and bewitching like Maui beaches, Kauai beaches, Oahu beaches etc. If you want to spend a worthy vacation, let Hawaii be your home to pleasure. Most couples look forward for a good time in Hawaii through the best deals in a Hawaii honeymoon package. People find Hawaii as a place to chill out to their hearts content in the majestic beaches of Hawaii. Hawaii honeymoon vacation resorts have accommodations and suites which could suit any budget.  These resorts give you quality service and make sure that you enjoy every moment of your stay in Hawaii. The Hawaii honeymoon package is a lovely combination of meals, round trips, and entertainment options. Hotels like Fairmont Orchid at Mauna Lani have a terrace view accommodation and a Hertz car rental. There is another hotel called Hyatt Regency Maui which has mountain accomodations, provides golf and other benefits. Hawaii is fondly called America's jewels in the Pacific, the beautiful islands have a unique culture and identity of their own. The Hawaii honeymoon deals encompass a wide range of entertainment and partying options for you when you stay at their resorts. The beauty of the islands in pictures could barely compensate for the ultimate experience. When you actually visit the islands and bask in the glory of Hawaii and take in the exotic smells of the Hawaiian breeze, you will notice the sexy difference between knowing and actually living the experience.

In his professional life Dr. Ruiz was a New York City physician on the cutting edge of detection and treatment of malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer.  He had recently flown to Florida to visit family hospitalized there and had entered the hospital unchallenged without even identifying himself when he entered the intensive care unit in Orlandos most prominent hospital. In Florida he had seen children running up and down the hospital halls and family visiting anytime they chose. Far from strictly enforced, in Florida families challenged the authority of nurses and doctors to restrict visitation even to allow for patient recovery. Further, Dr. Ruiz had seen nurses publicly reprimanded by supervisors for enforcing visitation policies in Florida. He was seeing that the All Hazards preparedness and Situationally Sensitive Security to which he was accustomed to was far from universal. A year earlier, at age 39, Dr. Ruiz suffered a heart attack while working in New York City. Like so many heart attacks in the north, his began while shoveling snow and ended on the operating table. Owing to his young age and the fact that he exercised daily, he did well and went home. His story would have ended there except Dr. Ruiz realized there was a stark difference between his reality and the state of healthcare safety in the rest of the nation. Dr. Ruiz had always been one of those doctors who never saw the need for increased disaster preparedness for healthcare. Practicing in New York City after 9/11 it seemed to him that every hospital and healthcare facility had instituted Situationally Sensitive Security and All Hazards Disaster Plans. Despite the fact that he had family and friends involved in national preparedness he had always assumed that every facility was as ready as the ones where he worked. Prior to his heart attack, Dr. Ruiz had never walked in the front door of the hospital. When he arrived as a patient, he entered the front door and was immediately asked for photo id. He showed his drivers license and his wife was immediately stopped and asked for her id. For the first time he saw that no one entered the hospital without scrutiny and business at the hospital. This was such a contrast to what he now saw in Florida. Could it be that the rest of the nation was this unsafe? Once admitted to the hospital, Dr. Ruiz learned that visiting hours were not only defined and restricted, but strictly enforced. Moreover, small children such as his own could not visit on the patient floor; he would have to be well enough to visit with them in the family spaces. What a difference from the world he now saw! How do the doctors and nurses work in such a place? When Dr. Ruiz returned home he decided to see if his perceptions were in fact correct. He again entered through the front door. Had it not been for his hospital id, he would not have gotten in. He learned that on this day there had been an incident at another hospital and the hospital had increased the level of security. For the first time he took note of the attitude and decorum of his own patients visitors. In sharp contrast to what he had seen in Florida, these New York visitors listened to instructions, obeyed visitor policies and followed the instructions of the nurses. The Safe Work Environment What Dr. Ruiz came to realize is what preparedness experts have been saying for years; healthcare has few well prepared institutions while the majority of healthcare has chosen to ignore the threats and the most obvious solutions. The most important change is to incorporate security and preparedness into the daily regimen of every hospital function and every hospital employee. The Situationally Sensitive Security Dr. Ruiz encountered in his hospital ensures that the hospital staff as well as all visitors are accustomed to some level of scrutiny when entering the hospital. At the lowest levels, no more that an id check occurs, but as security concerns increase, the level of scrutiny and restriction increase. This type of daily routine ensures that when increased security is required, the baseline behaviors are in place and familiar. The same philosophy is the basis of Continuous Integrated Triage and several other All Hazards protocols. Workplace safety has become as much a component of All Hazards preparedness and patient safety initiatives. Facilities that have instituted this expanded approach to preparedness have found that patient safety initiative, employee safety programs and All Hazards preparedness are a natural combination. Funding once used for just one program can be applied to all three areas simultaneously thus allowing a hospital or healthcare institution to benefit in all three realms for each dollar spent. More importantly, Dr. Ruiz inadvertently identified the reason that many preparedness experts have failed to successfully persuade hospital and healthcare decision makers to spend money on preparedness. Like Dr. Ruiz, many of these experts practice in places where most of the preparedness lessons have been not only observed, but learned and acted on. These experts are assuming that those practicing across the rest of the nation have already made the changes found in communities like New York City. The sad reality is that the vast majority of the nation has not made these changes. The only question is what will it take for the majority of hospitals and healthcare institutions to make these changes. Workplace safety has become as much a component of All Hazards preparedness and patient safety initiatives. Facilities that have instituted this expanded approach to preparedness have found that patient safety initiative, employee safety programs and All Hazards preparedness are a natural combination. Funding once used for just one program can be applied to all three areas simultaneously thus allowing a hospital or healthcare institution to benefit in all three realms for each dollar spent.

Especially those big ones that mark 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th and 50th anniverary . &lt;br /&gt;On that special day, you can take time off to reminisce the past. You can take a look at your mementos starting from your first date. Do dust off the photo album and go through pictures of special occasions such as your wedding day or delivery of your newborn child. You can play the video of your wedding day or dress up in your wedding clothes. Maybe by now they are too small or tight for you. &lt;br /&gt;On this day, you stop and reflect the state of the union between husband and wife. Then it hits you so hard that you have actually spent so little time on your dear spouse. Why? We have got to concentrate mind and soul on our careers and slog hard from morning to night at the office. By the end of the day, both partners are tired and too exhausted to talk to each other. Then your focus of attention will be on your kids. You have to take care of them  play with them ,feed them, monitor them and supervise them . You have to check whether they have eaten , bathed and done their homework.  &lt;br /&gt;Besides work and family commitments, you have to worry about finance . Do you have enough money to pay bills ranging from housing, car loans, groceries, clothes, school fees? It's enough to kill the joy of marriage. &lt;br /&gt;But on the other hand , you can reflect on the positive, such as overcoming problems and obstacles through strength and perseverance.    &lt;br /&gt;Both partners should share something in common. Shared experiences makes a lot of difference. Here are a few examples.Saving money to buy your first house. The two partners deciding where to live, and what kind of house to live in.  &lt;br /&gt;The couple can find delight in sharing tasks together. I remember taking care of my baby son. He would cry in the middle of the night wanting either to change diapers or to be fed. We would turn turns looking after baby. She would be tired out attending to his night time needs after one or two days. I would then take care of baby on the subsequent nights.  &lt;br /&gt;We go to church together  to worship the Lord and it's such a wonderful spiritual experience every Sunday. We also go to the gym and workout together.  &lt;br /&gt;Both partners need to have same mindset or similar interest. Both my wife and I enjoy going to the movies, love children and enjoy traveling. &lt;br /&gt;What similar interests do you have as a couple ? Find out what similar interests both of you have. Is it a particular kind of food, movies or travels? &lt;br /&gt;And when baby comes along , make sure you also have some time to spend on your own. Ideally, you could get your parents or parents in law to help take care of baby.  &lt;br /&gt;On this special day, take time to reflect what both of you wanted to do together but never got down to doing it either due to work or family commitments. Find out what he or she likes . If she is fond of good food then bring her out for a good scrumptious meal at a expensive restaurant . If she likes shopping then bring her out to her favorite shopping mall and help to buy  dresses and whatever she likes (something like Richard Gere bringing Julia Roberts out in ' Pretty Woman' and decking out her in designer fashion wear) She may like you to serenade to her with a beautiful song or poem. Lastly, a bouquet of flowers work wonders too.  You can commemorate each wedding anniversary by exchanging anniversary rings.

If you want to add a touch of elegance and serenity to your garden then a gazebo is the way to go. This article will discuss what gazebos actually are and why they are a great way to spruce up your home and surroundings. Gazebos were originally built with the purpose of making the most of a good view. The word "gazebo" itself actually appears in the English language as early as 1752! So, there is a great deal of history associated to these pavilions and there is no reason why one cannot set up a gazebo in one's own home and take advantage of great views in your own environment. What types of gazebo can we get for our money? Well, it turns out there is a huge variety of gazebos on the market and it all depends on how much you're willing to pay and, of course,  the purpose of your chosen gazebo. At the most expensive end of the spectrum are elegant outdoor rooms built from only the finest quality cedar. It's also possible to buy more affordable vinyl gazebos that are put together to resemble the aforementioned deluxe gazebos. At the bottom end of the price and beauty scale are the more basic aluminum posted designs that are generally used for outdoor functions - quick to put up but not especially easy on the eye. One of the great things about gazebos is the chance for customization, when buying one from a manufacturer, they'll usually offer you a number of optional extras. You may be after a different type of railing, a door customization, hidden wiring panels or tubes - the choice is almost endless but make sure you take the chance to modify your gazebo just the way you want it. Of course, some gazebos are easier to erect than others These days, however, you can find many gazebo kits that come with easy to follow instructions. If it seems like too much trouble for just little old you, why not get the family involved or invite some friends round and make a weekend of it? You could round off the "event" by relaxing in the gazebo with drinks at the end of the day's work. Sound good? Gazebos then, are, depending on the size, space and view from your garden, an excellent addition to any home. They're easy to set up, come with many customizable features and, provided you buy from a reputable manufacturer, are made of the highest quality. Why not treat yourself to a garden gazebo this summer, it's a decision you'll never regret. Looking for more info on gazebos?

What follows is an attempt to cover some of the more popular types. It is in no way exhaustive. As with any type of elective surgery, there may be many options available to the individual. Options range from the type of procedure, technique used, and not just the physician themselves. Each option carries its own attendant risks. As such, they should be reviewed carefully with a qualified physician. Breast augmentation: this essentially involves the use of a prosthetic device to change - usually increase - the size of an individual's breasts. Over time, advances have been made in the type of prosthetic used since the 1970s. However, all employ a type of silicone shell filled with a solution that is then implanted. The solution itself consists of either saline or a silicone gel. Regardless, as in the past the risk of the implant's rupture remains. However, this risk appears to have been greatly reduced. Yet, follow-up checkups are required to ensure this.&lt;br /&gt;The main techniques used for this procedure are sub-glandular, sub-fascial, and sub-muscular. In addition, there are variations on these techniques based on the incision used by the surgeon. The types of incisions are Peri-Areolar, Infra-Mammary, and Axillary. Each technique and type comes with its attendant pros and cons. In the end, a lot will depend upon the individual themselves and the surgeon's preference. Botox, also known as Vistabel or Dysport, is the brand name used for botulin toxin type A. It is used in injections, most popularly for removing lines. Since it is an injection, and is normally performed in an outpatient setting, with no anesthesia required, it is quite popular. However, since its effects are not permanent, follow-up injections are usually required. Botox is considered a prescription drug. As such, it should be performed by a qualified physician.&lt;br /&gt;Botulin toxin type A comes from bacteria. After it has been processed, it works by interfering with nerve impulses, amongst other things. It has only been in the last few years that, it has come to be recognized for its cosmetic function. These range from the appearance of severe frown lines between the eyebrows, excessive underarm sweating and spasticity. Liposuction involves the removal of deposits of fat from the body. Technically, the procedure goes by the names of Lipoplasty or Suction Lipectomy. More popularly, it's known as body contouring. It is not considered an alternative to weight loss. However, it's used when normal diet and exercise have not worked to reduce these deposits. The main techniques used are basic liposuction with a fluid injection, tumescent liposuction, use of stitches, super wet liposuction, ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL), power assisted liposuction (PAL) and external ultrasound assisted liposuction (XUAL or EUAL). A local or general anesthetic may be used depending upon the technique. There are many considerations prior to undergoing the procedure. Issues include the elasticity of the skin around the area to be treated, and the general health of the individual. Exclusions include having diabetes, heart and/or circulation problems and/or any medication that affects the healing process. The main type of medication to be aware of are anticoagulants.

"You have no idea what it's like," says Joe Rice, a 60-year-old professional from Fort Wayne, Indiana. "I started losing my hair in my twenties. It's miserable. It has a way of shaping your whole life." Joe's worn a toupee for years. No one sees him without it, not even his closest friends. He's tried "just about everything" to stop hair loss, including Rogaine and Propecia, without success. But deep down, he still holds out hope. "I know the drugs work for some people, but they didn't work for me," he sighs. "Just show me one new hair, and I'm a customer for life." A Serious Problem Joe is not alone. Millions of men and women suffer in silence from alopecia, baldness and thinning hair. And while hair loss isn't fatal, it is a serious condition with profound psychological effects. For many, hair loss brings feelings of shame, despair, and crippled self-esteem. New Hope from the Orient Since 1999, a group of scientists in Japan, led by researcher T. Takahashi, has been studying botanical extracts looking for a safe, effective solution for hair growth. After testing over a thousand different extracts, they found three promising natural chemicals. One was from barley. One from Chardonnay grapes. And one- by far the most potent- was an extract from ordinary apples. Move Over Minoxidil One year later, the scientists announced even more striking findings to the international community. They compared the apple extract, known as procyanidin B-2, to the proven hair growth drug minoxidil in cell cultures. Their results seemed almost impossible: in head-to-head tests, the apple chemical proved to be twice as effective as minoxidil in stimulating new hair growth. In further experiments on mice, the apple procyanidins, as well as minoxidil, repeatedly produced "extensive hair growth." Proven in Double-Blind Clinical Trials In clinical trials on humans, the results were even more exciting. The procyanidins from apples consistently grew new hair in men with male pattern baldness, the most stubborn form of unwanted hair loss- and without any of the side effects of hair loss drugs. Scientists are normally conservative when it comes to conclusions. But the statements from the Takahashi group were unequivocal. "Procyanidin B-2 therapy," they wrote, "shows potential as a promising cure for male pattern baldness." For Joe, and 60 million other men and women, this research means new hope. "Of course I'll try it," he says. "Just show me one new hair..." David L.

Gevano It is so often that people are not aware with the tools they use when doing their home improvement. Sometimes they use wrong tools just because they want something quick to be done.  Well, you must change that attitude. You have to understand that by using the correct tool it can avoid you from hurting and damaging the project you are trying to repair. Well, it sure does. Dont think you know everything about tools before you really search for tools information. Lets start by some small items which mostly used to repair your broken equipment, for example, screwdriver. Using the right size and head of screwdriver is very important. Do you know why? Thats because if you are using the correct one, then the screw will be easier to remove, and secondly, because if you use the incorrect one, then you can strip the screw which will make it impossible to remove. There are other tools which also have to use correctly. They are scraper, putty knife, or spreader. All should have should have different functions, right?  But, admitted that you are using the putty knife for all three, havent you?  Hmmyou have to understand that scrapers have a thin, flat surface to enable it to get under the area that you want scraped off.  Putty knives are a little more flexible and they are used for the application of wood and wall putty.  Spreaders are used to spread mortar, grout, and other applications. So, above example is only part of it. There are more other equipments which you must understand how to use it. Use the right tool for your job to make it quicker and easier on yourself! Its better for being safe, then to hurt yourself. Beside that, being safe is very important in doing home improvement.  Take care of your working waste such as wood shavings, sawdust, errant nails, and other debris which might ruin your project. More worst if those waste fly you to the emergency room in hospital. Sure you dont want that to happen, do you? Another stuffs which also dangerous is the flying object when you sanding, nailing, sawing, and just about anything else. You need safety glasses when working. If there is any chance of debris coming at you, then you need to put on your safety glasses.  You only get one set of eyes, so protect them. Face protection is an important part of safety also.  A dust mask will prevent you from breathing in sawdust or paint chips as you are sanding.  A respirator mask may be necessary if you are using chemicals in a small, confined space. Above all, remember that no home improvement project is worth risking your life for.  Use the appropriate safety gear at all times, and be safe! About the Author:  &lt;br /&gt;Tony Gevano interest in observing peoples way in choosing things. He wrote almost anything he likes.

Mehta The problem of obesity and overweight has become very serious in recent years. This is due do poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle.  Best way to tackle obesity and overweight problem is to eat a balanced diet and do some physical exercise daily. These days several diets are available for weight loss. The weight loss diets are made to reduce body fat and weight. Some diets are healthy and some are fad. The fad diets recommend eating only a certain group of foods and eliminating some group of foods from the diet. A good diet provides all the major nutrients including dietary fibers, carbohydrates, proteins, good fats, minerals and vitamins. The negative calorie diet is based on foods possessing negative calorie effect. Negative calorie foods use more calories to digest than the calorie content of the foods themselves. The additional calories in the process of digestion are taken up from the stored fat in the body. It is therefore natural to consider a diet containing these foods for weight loss. The negative calorie foods include vegetables, fruits, legumes, lentils and beans. It is therefore possible to provide all major nutrients in a negative calorie diet. By eating these foods, you will not feel hungry. If you remain physically active and eat these foods, you will drop pounds permanently. Note that negative calorie foods and negative calorie diet will not show any magical results if you eat unhealthy foods.  Don't think that you can eat a tin of potato chips in the morning and eat some negative calorie foods in the evening to counter balance the bad effects of chips.

The ability to accurately identify and research on this antique clocks and watches are important then because of the diversity, as well as the number, of clock and watchmakers and manufacturers around the world. Back in Time Time measurement has been one of the concerns of every developing civilization in the world since time immemorial. No wonder that man devised ways to tell time. An example is the use of the worlds natural clock which is the sun and the mechanical ones such as clocks and watches. If we are going to trace the history of clocks and watches, we would be back to the late 14th century when the first clock was made. In the early years, as well as many centuries over, mechanical clocks and watches were so uncommon and made by few that only rulers and noblemen had such. The common people, especially those in Europe, have to rely on the few public clocks that are existent. The majority of clocks and watches made from the 15th to the middle of the 17th century are now mostly in museums and a small percentage in different individuals private collection. Most people will never set eyes on these timekeepers nor will be able to recognize them. Those antique clocks and watches that were made during the 1800s through the early 1900s are more in number since the periods mentioned were the time when clocks and watches were produced in mass quantities. Things to Consider Many antique clock and watch collectors would agree that periods in history greatly influenced the materials and styles of clocks and watches, such that these timekeepers were not only used for time measurement, but as decoration as well. Also, they were made with such high quality that with proper care and maintenance, they are apt to last several centuries. They are the total opposite of most clocks and watches that we have today, however. In a fast-paced world where everything is instant and disposable, clock and watch craftsmanship in the modern age can be considered of low quality compared to that of one or two centuries ago. There are several things that you may take into consideration if you are a collector or just a one time buyer of an antique clock or watch - besides the fact that it should be interesting, beautiful, befitting your needs or you want it to be a part of your life and home for many years. The General Condition -  This is a very important factor in determining the value of the clock or watch.  The timepiece should be competently restored and accurately regulated. If these aspects are not looked into, the clock or watch may just serve as decoration rather than both decorative and functional. Collecting Antiques is a passion many know too well, many of these antique these collections are surprisingly valuable and extremely interesting and valuable.

That means to see this tic toc between order and chaos in our lives and rather than fight it, actually manage it. Infatuation with order will breed huge chaos. Instead, we can say, oh, theres a challenge, where is the balance in that, oh theres a winner wheres the balance in that In the diagram above, we call it the consciousness cone, inspiration is at the top. You can see that a person who is at their highest ego state at the bottom is spending huge amounts of energy in emotion, running from very happy, to very sad. From infatuation to resentment. This is the lotto winner who, without the mindset to manage it, spends their winnings within months and ends up in more debt than they had before winning. Moderation is the keyword at the top, it is a focus on something more that wild upsides and deep depressive downsides. This is the middle path, where love and inspiration are a priority. Very few people can sustain this level of growth. They most often yoyo up and down the cone some days at the top, others at the bottom. Viewpoint is everything. The person who prioritizes their ego sees the world from their own circumstances and looks out at it. To them, when they look at the stars, they are at the center and the whole universe is rotating around them. To the inspired individual, they look at the stars and it appears they are on the outer looking in. The ego driven individual will take everything personally and become disturbed by the small things of life. The inspired individual see the balance in everything and takes nothing personally, to them, there is no self to take anywhere. To the inspired individual, there is no soul, there is no individuality to identify with, not even a good and bad to protect. To the inspired individual there is work and life and love and doing. The elations and depressions of it all are just seasons of the day, there is simply no need to react. The search for truth, is the search beyond self. That truth lies hidden below the ego. When the fog is cleared everyday life becomes transparent we see the beauty that lies beneath. One moment standing in the midst of natures orchestra with an open heart seems like a whole lifetime, if we are in tune with her rhythm. What can be learned from books means so much, yet, it is all someone elses, repeated, regurgitated, recapitulated, renovated, rejuvenated truth. We must learn to write our own books, instead of parroting what others have said, and in this, let nature be our guide  The ground is steep, the rocks are wet, we must take care of each other. There is no alone, with Inspiration, one is never alone. Every tree is a sacred friend, every footstep divine, the rocks are mates ready to lend a hand. Inspiration teaches us friendship with nature. We learn to be humble to the power that is greater than  ourselves, not because of fear or faith, but through trust in the heart of the divine. Nature is our witness. Everyday inspiration does not come from sitting in caves with crossed legs, (although thats how Chris found it) it comes from life and an understanding of it. Whether we are fishing off the pier or swinging a billion dollar deal, singing in the shower or to a million people, we see beauty, we see life and we are in awe of it. The first step is to unlock what has already been learned and then unlearn it.  This unlearning is what is called the gaining of real wisdom. In the past you may have said that person is bad. This is knowledge taken from our learning, but such learning and judgment are in defiance of natural law because the experience is one sided. It is out of balance, and all emotion  including your emotional downers  comes from imbalanced thought. Emotional downers is the product of an imbalanced thought about something or someone in the past. Unlearning is to see the circumstance differently. There is always two sides to that person or situation, you just never saw it. When you see the goodness in a situation you have already called bad, you have unlearned; you have seen with two eyes. You learn by seeing one half of the story; then unlearn and see two sides. This makes the learning complete. Natures law pervades every walk of life so it is not specifically what you think that matters, it is how you think that makes the difference. You must change how you think from one sided learning (causes depression) to balanced thinking (causes love). S came to me for a consult. She was 18 but looked 12. For nearly 5 years she had been diagnosed as depressed and due to that had taken on board some eating disorders. Her mother was with us in the consult and was obviously shattered by her daughters declining health. Eating disorders that deprive the body of nourishment are self deprecating, something about S, was so unacceptable, in her opinion, that she wanted no body to live in, she was trying to eliminate her physical presence on earth (bulimia or anorexia). In S case anorexia because she was not vacillating between infatuation and resentment. She was only conscious of her depressions. Emotional downers, looked at from the point of view of natures law, is an obsession with a self righteous set of beliefs that are stubbornly held in the individuals mind against the backdrop of everyday life. Remember, there are two sides to everything, Expressed and Repressed. The expressed disappointment with life is the balance to the repressed belief that the depressed person knows what is best for themselves and others. So there were two issues. One a thought that S was holding onto that was causing her to become depressed. The other was nature destroying her body, which meant she was not fulfilling, or had already fulfilled her purpose. Me  so, tell me what you like and dislike about life&lt;br /&gt;S I dislike everything.&lt;br /&gt;Me money?&lt;br /&gt;S yes, money makes people mean and cruel&lt;br /&gt;Me your mum&lt;br /&gt;S yes, my mum doesnt love me she just wants to fix me so I get out of her hair&lt;br /&gt;Me your Dad?&lt;br /&gt;S I hate my dad&lt;br /&gt;Me so what is your dream?&lt;br /&gt;S  I dont care&lt;br /&gt;After an hour of this&lt;br /&gt;Me when you were a little girl, what was your dream?&lt;br /&gt;S I dont know&lt;br /&gt;Me yes you do&lt;br /&gt;After another half an hour&lt;br /&gt;S I used to dream of becoming a dress designer.&lt;br /&gt;After another half an hour she shared more an more&lt;br /&gt;Me and why is there a problem becoming a dress designer&lt;br /&gt;S its too hard, there are too many people doing it, Im not good at it, Its a cut throat industry&lt;br /&gt;Me so if thats what you think about the real world, that means in your fantasy you believe you are better than everyone else but no one recognizes it&lt;br /&gt;S yes. And?&lt;br /&gt;Me when we have such inspirations about ourselves its usually because something happened really painful and we create a fantasy of ourselves inside our mind. Then when we cant live that fantasy, we get angry at the world and want to go somewhere where our fantasy can become reality&lt;br /&gt;S so?&lt;br /&gt;Me so where are you going to be able to live your fantasy you&lt;br /&gt;S heaven To extract the gift from our life path, we must get beyond the ego, and to do that we must become an empty cup. This means letting go of and changing some of your judgments about people in the past or present. Often a person, like P, comes to me and says "here I am.  Can you help me spiritually?", to which I answer, "yes".  Then they say "I want to know what you think about life and death, or about the beginning and end of existence". This prompts me to wonder what their attitude will be if their existing opinion does not agree with mine. They seem to want to learn, yet they do not want to be empty of their preconceptions and expectations. That means going to the stream wanting water, but keeping one's cup covered up, A full cup is the ego, jammed full of beliefs, identities and ideals which prevent change. They are learned ego responses that have served you in the past, but maybe blocking you now.  They maybe blocking your heart from being open, but instead of changing the thoughts and ego attachment people will change their relationship instead. This is a high cost, to keep infatuating the ego. With emptiness, comes an innocence that is open to change. With that emptiness comes trust to open and let go, find love and the recognition that there is an order in each chaos and we do not need to fight. P came to me really depressed. I have had cancer 10 times and now its 11. I want to know if there is anything I can do to stop this &lt;br /&gt;Me so, what have you done to heal it 10 times, that sounds amazing &lt;br /&gt;P I have gone to India to get rid of my bad Karma. I now meditate for peace and love and bring in the healing &lt;br /&gt;Me and what were you doing before that? &lt;br /&gt;P I was a Christian and I prayed for love &lt;br /&gt;Me and before that? &lt;br /&gt;P  I studied comparative religion before I got cancer. I wanted to be a priest and bring love to the world &lt;br /&gt;Me do you want to question this idea of love you have for the world &lt;br /&gt;P who do you think you are. What a waste of time. How can you call yourself a spiritual teacher when you think spirituality is not about love? You have no idea.  &lt;br /&gt;Me I guess not. But I am doing something different to you, and you dont want to know what it is. So I cant really help you until you are ready. &lt;br /&gt;P thanks for nothing &lt;br /&gt;Me sorry I couldnt help The purpose of this article is to discuss the second law of nature, the law of growth. Personal growth comes from changing your mind. When things happen, you can go into a downward spiral or change your mind. I you change you mind you can grow, if you dont then you will simply have to deal with the issue at hand. http://www.chriswalker.com.au Chris  Walker  is a world leading change agent, an environmentalist and author of more than 20 books.

Don't settle for looking like everyone else when you attend a business networking event. Name tags are a great way to stand out. Instead of using the standard badges provided at the event, have your own special group of badges. For just a few dollars you can purchase materials that will allow you to create your personal set of distinctive tags. You easily get noticed while everyone else wears the same as everyone else. Add your value statement, some color, your logo, whatever is appropriate - particularly something that appeals to your target markets. You can produce several different ones in-house very inexpensively or have them done by a commercial printer, depending on the event you attend and the audience involved. Always pay attention to the badge holders when you attend conferences too. If one is ideally suited to one of your target prospect groups, then keep it for future use. I attended an event recently where the theme was "Driving Business" , which is perfect for my target market, since my focus is helping small business owners get more clients and sell more products and services. Since the theme was printed on the badge holder, instead of trashing it when the conference was over, I saved it for future events. You can also consider a few other options to really stand out: 1.  Wear your name tag upside down (many people will stop you and let you know that you need to fix your badge - what a great time to get to meet them) 2.  Create a giant name badge that can't be missed. You can easily create one by printing a full-size page and using a sheet protector as the badge holder. 3.  Consider adding the Title Ribbons at the bottom of the badge as well. You can order small quantities from several sources (a great one is PC Nametag). You can get standard ones like CEO, Exhibitor, or Ambassador, but if you like to have fun, try Big Cheese or Official Something, which are also available. 4.  Instead of your name, why not a question:  Interested in getting more clients? (Insert your benefit question here) The possibilities for creative name badges are unlimited. Just keep the focus of the message on a benefit to your prospects. Larry Baltz runs a company called More Sales  More Profits.

It is one of the primary desires of all human beings. Love and care is the food of life. Unless one is cared for, one starts ailing. Hugging is a gesture of love, of warmth and of caring. It is not only the best way to cuddle your love but also pamper, shield and comfort your lover in a dazzlingly loving mode. A hug is an expression of caring. When someone is upset or disheartened a hug is a superb source of comfort. It is an unvoiced note which implies that I care for you. When you hug and hold someone you love, it is compassionate, it is love and it is belonging. It is a passionate expression of your love for the person. Hugging is a warm manner to tell your love that this is the place where you belong, in his arms. A feeling of security and a sense of peace is embedded in a hug. Whenever you will experience it with your love, your mind and heart will take you to a world of ecstasy. When in love, a hug is a pure happiness. Its a feeling of release from all kinds of worldly qualms and fretfulness. While hugging, the only contemplation that can approach your mind is, you are there where you have always wanted to be and wished to be till eternity. Humans enjoy contact. If you love someone, open your arms and let him or her enter into your heart by giving a warm hug. A warm hug signifies your passionate love for that person. You dont need to smother it for long but give them a meaningful clutch to make them feel that you really do appreciate them being there. A loving hug while bidding goodbye will replenish the tenderness and also perk up your evergreen romantic legend. A hug can do wonder to anyone. A hug cheers you up when you are in blue; a hug expresses the phrase I Love You so easily, a hug can alleviate your sore heart and bring a rainbow after rain. We could hardly survive without hugs; it is like a roof which offers a shield against all kind of worries. It might be the reason why god gave us arms, a hug delights, warms and charms and takes us to an idyllic planet. Hug transfers energy, it gives an emotional boost, it is one of the best means of communication and it can say things you dont have words for. The skin is the most delicate organ of our body and it requires good care. Hugging covers most of the skin which gives the message that the person really loves and cares for you. Hugs are one of the multipliers of that great positive energy, extinguishing the useless derivatives like stress and tensions and thrusting happiness upward. A hug is as pure as snow and as innocent as child. The amount of caring for a person is demonstrated by the intensity of a hug. Girls love to hug but boys on average are not much into them. But these vary from men to men. Boys, who love hugging, are known to carry it out quite warmly. The art of hugging to an extent depends on varied cultural attributes but then the purpose remains the same, that is, to show ones affection and fondness towards his or her loved partner.

What should you do to get to know them? Choosing an activity for a first date is an important decision. Hopefully, you will have things in common with this person, especially if you are looking for that special one you can spend the rest of your life with. Movies and dinners are classic choices, but sometimes they aren't the best choice. For instance, if you and the other person are both interested in spiritual matters, there is nothing wrong with attending a religious service together for a first date. If these matters are dear to both your hearts, it will be a welcome relief from the sometimes stressful situation of just taking in entertainment or trying to make conversation. Of course, that first conversation will need to take place somewhere. Ask your date about themselves to choose a really hand-picked place. For instance, if you share hiking or other outdoor activities, they might enjoy a picnic in a state park followed by a short hike, rather than the traditional dinner date. Being outdoors is relaxed and refreshing. Take a look at the faces of people walking or riding bicycles. They are almost always smiling. Likewise, find out if the potential date drinks alcohol or not before choosing a night club. In case they don't and you do, or vice versa, you might want to seriously consider whether you want to date this person at all. Is it an important issue to you? If so, you'll probably want to choose someone who shares your views. While on that first date, you should make it your utmost concern to make that other person comfortable. If you sense that they are unhappy with the atmosphere, suggest some place else to go. If you chose a comedy club, for instance, and they don't seem to be laughing at the jokes, it might be because the jokes are demeaning to women or your date is picking up on something else undesirable. Watch him or her for signs of discomfort and work to relieve the situation. Dinner dates are always appropriate, but sometimes the conversation lags. If you will be visiting over dinner, think ahead about topics you'd like to discuss with your date. What specific things would you like to know about them? Ask, but don't be nosy if they seem to prefer to be private about some things. A nice way to break the ice on a first date is to double date with another couple. If there are two other people with you, the conversation is much less likely to lag, and everyone will probably be more comfortable. Choose friends who have a stable relationship, and who like to interact with others. Don't choose friends who monopolize the conversation or who tend to fight with each other, though. Hopefully, that date will turn out to be a really fun, interesting time of getting to know a really special, fun person. Just remember to treat them like you would want to be treated and find common ground for your relationship.

Focus On The Woman!</title><content type='html'>By Nikki Smith As a man, it is obviously your goal to get on the good side of your date. You want to impress her. But did you know that the best way to do that has nothing to do with what you have or how well-dressed you are? Those things can be important when dating, but there is something infinitely more so. When out on a date, focus on the woman! This is the best way to make a woman fall for you. Women love it when men focus on them. As a rule, you have to make your date feel like she is the center of your universe. Both she and you may know, intellectually, that this is not completely true, but she likes the fantasy nonetheless. When you are dating, be generous with your compliments. This doesnt necessarily mean that you should flatter her, although that does work with plenty of women. As much as possible, compliment her sincerely. Notice everything about her that you admire, and let her know in no uncertain terms. Women need to be admired, especially by the men around her. When you give her the admiration that she needs, it could just make her day. Obviously, when youre on a date, youd better check some of your more unpleasant tendencies. For instance, theres isnt a woman in the world who would appreciate it when you look at other women. You may do this on your own time, but when youre on a date, this is a big mistake. Think about it. What kind of message are you sending to her? Truth is, only a real man can focus on the woman when dating. If you need a woman to validate your masculinity, youll probably end up trying to get as much as you can from her. This is not a stable foundation for a relationship. By focusing on the woman, you are letting her know that she comes first  and youll definitely be scoring points on any number of dates.

John Doe comes home from work and confesses to his wife that hes done something so terrible, so damaging to their relationship, that hes afraid shell never forgive him. And then he tells her what it is. Jane Doe (the wife) is angry. She storms out of the room uttering all sorts of words I couldnt possibly use in this article. John is left sitting at the kitchen tablewondering what his next move should be. Its not that hes afraid of Janes wrath. Its not that he wonders whether or not shell forgive him. These are problemsbut theyre not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that he doesnt feel that hes worthy of her forgiveness. Hes feeling guilt. Well maybe that isnt a problembut it could be, depending on how he handles it. Suppose hes afraid to approach her. He lives through the worst kind of silence man knowsthe silence of a not-talking wife. It goes on for weeks, yet he wont approach her. Finally, they split up, and he blames it on his original mistake. But hell never really know what split them apart, because he never bothered to ask for her mercy. This isnt guilt anymoreits despair. Johns biggest problem would be that he never let Jane decide whether or not she would forgive him. He shut himself out because he thought he wasnt worthywhich points to an even larger problem. The fact that he, at one time, thought he was worthy. The key to keeping a marriage fresh is always trying to better ourselves for our spouse. Never ceasing our heroic attempts to win their hearts. Battling our inaptness in hopes that theyll at least give us credit for our effort. When we see justification, the magic of heroism dies. When we think we deserve the love of another, we breed familiaritywhich breeds contempt. And when were suddenly cornered in the ugly gloom of guilt, where is the hope? And if John decides to ask for Janes forgiveness, he might stand a chance. And then he can begin to turn this guilt into a forceone that never stops nagging him to do better. Not because of the right or wrong, but because she deserves better. Then again maybe she wont forgive him. Because maybe shes human and cant accept betrayal. When it comes time to prove her love, she might crackand shes human. But there is one human who will always forgive. There is someone who has already proven His love. He wont crack. He hasnt cracked. And we wont ever be worthy of His mercy, but its there all the same. All we have to do is approach Him.

The first risk is that the remedy that you are given or the one that you are taking may not be the one that is best for your condition.  This can lead to a lost opportunity and a loss of money.  However, just because herbal remedies are derived from plant materials that are natural, this does not mean that they are free from all risks. Even plants that are consumed without modification can be a risksome are poisonous!  There have been many cases of plant material causing disease, disability, and death.  Luckily herbalist will avoid these types of medications where possible, and if they do have to use them, they will be in a formulation that is safe and adequate for your needs.  There are many types of preparations that exist that have not been studied fully to fully evaluate the extent of their side effects and dangers.  Herbal remedies contain chemicals just like other medications. These chemicals may react in your own body or with any other medications or chemicals that you are taking.  In addition, it is possible that the preparation that your herbal remedy is mixed with [the vehicle by which the herbal remedy is given to you] can have additional chemical composition and this itself may be dangerous to you.  Luckily most countries have regulatory bodies that prevent herbal remedies, and other remedies, from containing dangerous materials. As long as you get your herbal remedies from a reputable and established source, there should be very little issue with the contents and composition of the remedy itself and the type of problems it might cause you.  Herbalists are well trained and reputable online sites should be able to give you information that is up to date, safe, and correct.

But in the real world, although these same financial structures (most administrated by reputable and legal banks), have been around for hundreds of years, there are still many people who consider the above strategic asset protection entities as illegal. I think we need to look at what they were intended to do. Asset or lawsuit protection laws were designed for the very purpose of protecting your assets from being frozen and the possibility of unjust forfeiture. Still others consider asset protection a moral dilemma... something unethical or dishonest. This is the furthest thing from the truth. But, at the same time, I'm not trying to start a moral debate here nor am I recommending nor would any attorney in their right mind advise that you avoid paying a judgment or fine that you rightfully owe. That being said, I feel you should be in the position to make the final verdict on what is fair and right. Because when lifetime, incumbent judges and bleeding-heart juries stop handing out ludicrous decisions, then I'll be the first person to tell you that you'll no longer need to protect your hard earned assets. I guess the irony of it is, collection lawyers, government agencies such as the IRS and the FTC, and everyone outside the asset protection circle, make every effort to characterize legal asset protection as dishonest, fraudulent, or worse. Of course, their motives are transparent. They viciously denounce anyone who successfully stop their efforts to collect or seize their assets which then disrupts the stream of income flowing in their direction. So, total asset protection is NOT illegal or a privilege; it is a freedom protected by the U.S. Constitution. Imagine that. I think most people would be totally surprised at how many of our politicians and well known corporate giants have gone offshore to safe guard their millions in assets. Looking into asset protection and then taking action to protect your business and personal assets maybe one of the most important and intelligent financial decisions you may ever make. So, talk to an asset protection consultant and attorney now... before its too late. Because the cost of setting these protection devices in place will be ridiculously small compared to the cost of losing your home, cars, retirement and investment accounts. Not to mention the unimagineable stress. Do it now. About The Author Floyd Tapia has over 8 years of tireless work and research experience on the topic of total asset protection.

In our lifetime it has become rare for any person to spend their entire adult life in one home. Whether its a new apartment or a new house, we have all looked at an unfamiliar space and imagined how we will set about making it feel like our own. We picture what will go where, what will fit where, and what we will leave behind. We picture what wed like to change and are thrilled with the parts we love. Each new house is a vehicle for our imagination; it represents all of the possibilities of a new beginning and holds all of the potential for making us feel comfortable and content. Living in a new space is an exciting and often liberating experience, as we get the chance to redefine ourselves through what we create. We also get to experience the unfamiliar (think of the first night you sleep in a new house!); which can be both a comfort and discomfort at the same time. So, the furniture is in, the pictures are hung, yet the house still has that brand new, not-worn feeling. The process of creating that feeling of 'home' in a new house actually happens after we move all of our stuff in and feng shui until our backs ache from moving the couch. It is when we invite in the sounds of friends and family that those new rooms come together to create a home. An important way we customarily mark our passage into a new house is by having a Housewarming party. The Housewarming is one of the greatest rituals of all time-a tradition where friends, family, and neighbors help us celebrate a new beginning.  There are some crucial variables to a successful housewarming: good people, good food and lots of laughter. It doesnt matter if there are five or fifty friends celebrating your move; the sounds of their laughter and yours will warm every room and transform a house into your home.

Keep your sense of humor! Here is how a groom can help the bride before, during and after the wedding day: 1. Keep your cool and take things lightly. A sense of humor is not telling jokes but rather a way of looking at life. When you cultivate a great sense of humor you begin to see different connections. Remember that there is always another way of looking at any situation. Poking fun at yourself is a great way to break the tension when people are getting stressed. 2. If you're going to be making remarks at the reception, plan on saying something humorous. If you're having a hard time planning something funny to say, find a friend with a great sense of humor. Sit down with that person in advance and brainstorm a few ideas. A humorous story or embarrassing moment is often a candidate for getting good laughs. 3. Although food and music are at the top of the list for receptions and rehearsal dinners, don't forget to include something fun. For example a strolling magician can keep guests in good spirits while you wrap up those important photos. 4. For bridesmaid and groomsman gifts, how about a gag gift. If you want to give them a serious memento, consider giving them two gifts; one to lighten the day and one for memories. 5. For your Thank You card to acknowledge gifts and attendees, consider a photo (holiday-type) greeting card. Feature a funny photo from your honeymoon. Half the fun will be thinking of cute photo opportunities. It will be a card people will want to save. Copyright 2005 by John Kinde.

Botox injections are being used to attain a fresh, youthful appearance. The treatment has proven to be both safe and convenient. Botox was originally used for treating nervous twitches of the eyelid muscles. In 1987 it was sanctioned for cosmetic use.  Botox is a poisonous substance - it is a protein complex produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum - it contains the same toxin that causes food poisoning.  However, when injected in low doses - it is a modern tool that can reduce the signs of aging! A low dose of the toxin is injected into the facial muscles - causing temporary relaxation of those muscles.  It is usually injected into the forehead wrinkles, the vertical lines between the eyebrows, the neck and 'crows feet' in the corners of the eyes.  It is non-evasive, only takes a few minutes, requires virtually no recovery time - for results lasting 3 - 6 months. Botox binds to nerve endings - blocking the release of acetylcholine.  By selectively interfering with the underlying muscles' ability to contract, the existing lines are smoothed out, and in most cases, nearly disappear, within a week. Like all cosmetic surgery - some risks are involved.  Too much toxin injected, or injected into the wrong place, can result in droopy eyelid muscles which could last for weeks. Allergic reactions rarely happen, however some botox side affects may include: headaches, respiratory infection, flu syndrome or nausea.  Some localised pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, bleeding, or bruising may be associated with the botox injections.  These would be temporary - but can last several months. In the USA 'botox parties', or happy hours, have formed a key part of the marketing.  Not only does treating people in groups ensure more affordability - but also helps to reduce any anxiety associated with having injections.  It takes about 15 minutes per person - anesthesia is not usually needed - however sedatives may be available.  But - beware of unqualified people dispensing botox in salons, gyms, hotel rooms, home based offices, etc.  Remember - it is a prescription drug - botox surgery should only be undertaken by a qualified person! Botox treatments are becoming increasingly popular - it is ideal treatment for those who to not wish to risk surgery, or those who do not have the time to undergo complicated procedures.  It is not as radical as surgery - hence this anti-aging process appears to be much more natural. Do be aware that new wrinkles may develop as a result of botox treatments - it has been suggested that people unconsciously recreate facial expressions where the botox has been injected - causing nearby muscles to compensate - which can create new wrinkles. Botox cost varies - but seem to fall into $250 - $500 per session. There have been other positive off shoots from botox treatments:&lt;br /&gt;Some patients noted that their migraines improved following botox injected into their forehead and brow muscles.  This may be explained by the fact that muscle tension may act as a trigger for migraine the same way that light and odours do.  By reducing muscle tension - botox would be eliminating an irritant to the nervous system, which would reduce the chances of a migraine developing. Botox is also used in the treatment of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which is caused by stimulation of the sweat glands by nerve endings.  These nerves respond to physical and mental stresses and increased body temperature associated with exercise or hot humid weather.  Botox can prevent sweating for months by blocking the release of acetylcholine from the nerve endings - that cause the glands to produce sweat.  Botox has been used to reduce sweating in the underarms, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Recent research suggests that botox could be used alongside chemotherapy and radiation to fight cancer.  The cosmetic treatment produced by Allergan has been found to destroy resistant cancer cells in tests on mice. Are the any botox alternatives?&lt;br /&gt;Yes - serums, containing ingredients from plant extracts to animal oils -  injection free solutions that promise tightening of the skin on sensitive areas of the face - are being promoted as new alternatives to botox injections.  Used concurrently - it is said that the serums reduce the need for follow up injections for at least 6 months. Collagen is another ingredient in rejuvenating skin care products.  Anti aging creams aim at replenishing the face's supply of collagen to reduce or prevent wrinkles.  Collagen injections plump up the skin for a permanent reduction of wrinkles. Restylane is a non-animal, biodegradable gel based on hyaluronic acid.  Hyaluronic acid is a substance found in most of our bodies as it provides fullness and volume to the skin.  Results last longer than fat and collagen injections.  Restylane maintains its shape using the body's own moisture therefore producing a longer lasting youthful facial appearance.

Background and History Ayurveda means 'science of longevity' and it originated around the 6th century BCE. Originally a Hindu system, it soon spread across religions. Its principles were said to have been passed down to humankind from by the gods, originating with Brahma, the father of all gods. By the Middle Ages the system was extremely well developed, with great universities teaching all aspects of Ayurveda. However, it began to suffer as India was invaded, with the final straw being the colonization of India by the British, who bought scientific Western medicine with them. Thankfully, the Indian Congress realized how important Ayurveda was and supported it and in 1921 Mahatma Gandhi opened the first new college for ayurvedic medicine. This began the revival in the old ways, and now ayurveda is practiced alongside Western medicine in India. Ayurveda has become increasingly popular in the West since the 80s, due to such figures as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and Dr. Deepak Chopra MD. How does it work? Ayurveda holds that we are born in a state of perfection and poise, but soon lose this due to bad diet, temperament or living conditions. The ancient texts talk of 3 basic constitutions or 'doshas' - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These are balanced in health, but become unbalanced in illness. Vata controls movement and communication and relates to the nervous system. Pitta is connected with fire and water, and it regulates heat and digestion and the metabolism. Kapha is responsible for stability and moisture and relates to the structure of the body. In order to prevent or treat illness these three doshas must be balanced and this can be achieved by changing your lifestyle or diet, by massage, meditation, yoga, or herbs, among other things. An experienced Ayurveda therapist will choose the best treatment for each specific case. Ayurveda is truly a holistic system, more of a way of life than just a healing therapy, and incorporating every strand of human existence. Still very common in India, it is relatively unknown in the West, and certainly not as well known as traditional Chinese Medicine, with which it shares some broad similarities. This is a shame, as it has much to offer.

Ceremony programs can be as simple as a homemade one-page leaflet or as elaborate as a custom-ordered bound booklet. Arrange them in a basket at the ceremony entrance, or ask a close friend or family member not already a part of the wedding party to hand them to guests upon arrival. What to Include &lt;br /&gt;Wedding programs typically contain three parts:   Introduction - The ceremony program introduction is a summary of the basics; full names of the bride and groom, wedding date and location.   Ceremony Proceedings - The ceremony description serves as a step-by-step guideline of the service, from processional to recessional. Elaborate on any special customs or traditions that will take place, and list any special readings and/or poems.   The Wedding Party and other VIPs - The last section lists the wedding party and their relation to the couple (i.e. Mother of the Bride, Best Man, etc.). Don't forget to include your officiant and ceremony musicians in this section. Other items you may include in the wedding program: a thank-you to both sets of parents or to all the guests, memorials of deceased loved ones. What NOT to Include &lt;br /&gt;  A biography of the bride, groom or attendants - programs are not a forum for personal profiles. &lt;br /&gt;  Advertisements for wedding vendors.  One word - TACKY. Trends &amp; Ideas &lt;br /&gt;Ceremony programs provide a great opportunity to customize your wedding ceremony and tie in a special theme or design element from your wedding.  Here are some fun ideas:   Center your ceremony program on the color, theme, and/or season of your wedding   A clever and classy way to keep your guests informed and cool at the same time during the summertime is to have your ceremony programs made into fans.   Have them shaped into a heart, flower, or seashell to reflect a theme.   For an outdoor wedding ceremony , find something fun to weigh down the programs on the seats like a beautiful stone or piece of beach glass.   Place programs in a beach basket at the entry-way of your oceanfront wedding ceremony.   For a winter wedding, have your program made into an ornament or attach an ornament to the binding.   Use warm colors for a fall wedding and feature a colorful leaf pattern in the background.   Tell the story of how the two of you met or about the proposal, and include pictures from when you were dating.   When introducing your wedding party, describe their role in your relationship, such as being the one who introduced the two of you or someone who was supportive while you tried to maintain a long-distance relationship. Not only is this the perfect opportunity to share details of the journey that led up until your special day, but it allows your guests to feel more connected with you and the other guests.   Create a wedding program for the reception as well! Here you can outline the father-daughter dance, special toasts or meal details, and your guests will feel more included throughout the entire event.

The petals from roses can be used for a variety of different things. Some of these uses are for common everyday tasks, such as beautifying our gardens and walkways, while others are far more unique and distinctive, such as for use in cooking and types of therapy. It seems like Rose lovers just get into inventing and reinventing new ways to use their favorite flower.  If you're one of these flower lovers of the rose and its sweet smell, then you'll love the cool uses we have listed below. Use your own imagination and I am sure you just can come up with some more unique ways to bring the sweet scent of the rose into your life. Have some fun and be creative because the rose has a way of making you feel happy just by its very presence alone. The list is endless on how to use rose petals, however, when we consider the use of roses in special events and celebrations one particular event comes to my mind and that would be weddings. I guess that is especially because I was just married less than a month ago! Still, nowhere has the rose been used to such a large degree than in weddings. The us of rose petals has now replaced many of the normal traditions of the typical US wedding. For example, in many cases the rice that was once thrown at the end as the happy new couple was leaving to go on the honeymoon, has now been replaced by rose petals. We commonly see rose petals being used by flower girls too, and imitation petals are a hot item as well. Aromatherapy, also known as personal therapy is another area using rose petals that is not just an idea from the hip 1960s. It gained widespread popularity as aromatherapy in the 1980s, and has grown larger and more popular ever since. Relaxing therapy with rose scents are used in candles, lotions, bath oils and perfume too. Professional therapists in spas that offer massage therapy are now requested very often to rub the customer with the relaxing scent of the rose petal. Our research has shown us that for use in home, the rose is the top rated smell that is purchased for use in air fresheners, candles, or for any other type of home freshener device. Another unique and not commonly thought of use for rose petals is in cooking. These days the number of people that are using the rose petal in cooking is increasing constantly. Native Americans have long used dried rose petals in their cooking for its unique flavor and aroma. Now we are learning to return to their enlightened way of cooking too. From rose hips, which are the dried seeds of roses, a highly flavored tea is a good way to end or begin a day. If you have ever read the ingredients in many formulations for Vitamin C you will see rose hips listed as they are a good source. There many types of rose petals that can be added to foods that will increase the flavor too.  There are a lot of different dishes that can be created with the rose petal scent.

The features of these phones too are varied, from a simple reliable audio solution for a conference room to cordless conferencing. The kind of conference phone one should look for depends on the size of the room and the number of people attending the conference. For example, some conference phone vendors suggest using a simple conference phone for a room size of 10 x 15 feet with number of conference participants around twenty. The same conference phones can be used with a couple of extra extension microphones in case the room size is over 30 x 30 feet and the number of participants is greater than 30. For large conference rooms with size of over 30 x 45 feet, and number of people above 45, slightly higher end conference phones with extension microphones and a subwoofer can be used. These conference phones come with features such as a keypad dialer, mute button, noise reduction techniques, out of range alert and LCD Display. The cordless phones come with rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery which has a talk time of up to 8 hours or standby time of over 36 hours. Some other features that come with basic models of some conference phones are display of caller id, volume and ringer controls, PIN Code, phone directory, a 32-character Backlit LCD Display which can display many languages such as French, German, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Some cordless conference phones even let users send and receive SMS to and from fixed and mobile phones. Many conference phones also provide an option of attaching a headset with the phone and two lines, including call - waiting caller id. Thus, conference phones should be chosen only after a careful and quantitative assessment of one's requirements.

Always begin your day treating the skin to a gentle cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. End each day with a well-deserved cleansing, toning, and nighttime moisturizing. Remember, you are worth the time. Take care of your skin. Tips for a Five Minute Makeup Routine 1.  Know your colors. What colors make you feel confident? What colors do you get compliments on? Are you warm or cool? Knowing what colors to wear will lessen the length of time it takes to get ready in the morning. Daytime makeup should be elegant, polished, and natural as seen in the model above. 2.  Concealer:   A quality corrector will be subtle and almost imperceptible. Apply a corrector with a sponge and smudge downward, making the corrector fade away. This will help create a natural finish. 3.  Foundation:  Your goal should be to use a foundation tone that will convert into an almost unnoticeable second skin. Always apply foundation in a direction called combing the face. This means you should divide the face in half. Apply the foundation downwards. Blending downwards will help to create a more natural finish by avoiding a line on the jaw. Apply a powder if necessary. Not all people need a powder. The real function of a powder is to give a matte, shine-free finish. Some people prefer a more dewy finish. 4.  Shadow:  Choose natural-based shadows for daytime to keep professional and elegant. Using just two tones is a safe rule for daytime makeup. Remember that you dont want your eyes to be too jarring. Use eyeliner in a discreet tone if necessary. 5.  Eyelashes:  Groom and brush before applying mascara. You may want to curl the lashes to make the eyes appear more open. Once again, the less jarring, the more elegant you will look. 6.  Brows:  Groom. Groom. Groom. Your brows create your mood. Check for unruly hairs. Tweeze strays if necessary. 7.  Rouge:  Apply rouge remembering to use earth tones for a polished finish. Use your smile as a guide to create a natural blush zone. 8.  The lips:  Choose a liner that agrees with your lipstick. Remember to create harmony in your makeup. Fuchsia lipstick may not be the best choice for a daytime look.

There is going to rise to power in coming years two prophets One man is going to be very powerful and very quickly he will have the worlds attention. He will do mighty signs and wonders and bring plagues to earth like Moses did, and yet the modern church will not accept that his power will be coming from God. He will preach a hard gospel saying there is no salvation even if you are a Spirit filled Christian unless you are obeying Jesus Christ. He will preach a doctrine that if you dont obey God you can lose your salvation and go to hell. He will preach that you have to repent and walk humbly before the King of Kings and give up on money and mammon and the world and its riches. To a mammon serving lukewarm western church this man will be a tyrant and his sidekick will speak to but will always be the other prophets helper and always directing people to the head prophets words. These two prophets will fill stadiums like Benny Hinn at the beginning of their ministry and they will preach like great evangelists to the unsaved and preach repentance to the Christians. Like Benny many people will be healed and the world will sit up and take notice when every person in every stadium will be healed. Soon people will ask for corpses of their loved ones to be brought to the stadiums and this mighty duo will call people back from the dead and people will rise out of coffins and walk among the people. The two prophets will not be directing people to the churches on the current planet but calling shepherds to come into alignment with them and for the people in the stadiums to leave Babylon and the whore which is the lukewarm church and join the last days church they are raising up. They will promote selling all you have and giving it to the ministry and promote people going into rental accommodation and the two prophets and followers will have all the hallmarks of a cult. They will me 80% made up of people that are new Christians and be giving new Christians awesome power and authority and the house churches that are raised up in those days will be powerful and the church will be back to Acts under the two prophets leadership. They will have scathing rebukes of the modern church and fire will come out of their mouths and at the right time they will turn the waters of the earth to blood and strike the earth with all manner of plagues. They will tell the people of the world the signs of a true Christian and expose the hypocrisy of the true church by showing that if you come to their churches there is no tithing and no passing around the plate but all giving is done in private by members and strangers never have a plate put in front of them. The anointing will be powerful in these churches of the supposed cult as every single church will have anointed healers and the non Christians of the world will be invited to come into the churches and be healed with no obligation for money. The established church will lose true sheep and tithes and there will be a mass exodus from Egypt or Babylon to the promised land in the cult and the modern church will scream cult all through the papers and the media and warn the whole world not to follow the Beast and the False prophet and among them probably elect two leaders of government to put these two prophets to death and all their followers. The two leaders elected one will be a government like a US president and one spiritual like a huge Pentecostal leader will show the world a better way and ask the world for allegiance to fight against this cult and these false prophets. And in doing so the real Beast and false prophet will come to power with all the backing of the blind leaders and blind followers. Jesus will start to make appearances in the cult church, the signs and wonders churches and the non Christians and new Christians who dont know about that verse in the Bible will get on talkback radio and say not only were they healed but Jesus turned up. Then the modern church who had become the enemy of the new cult will have all of their evidence and preach to the world the verse that says do not believe the prophets and the church that says Jesus is appearing all over the world. For this is a sign of a false prophet and false signs and wonders and great fear will come on all the deluded sheep still in the whore and Babylon serving church with their new government leader and false prophet and they will NOT enter the cult. Meanwhile the cult will explode and grow and massive healings will be wrought and before the world knows it their will be 144,000 super anointed leaders in the new movement. They will have their own brand names, their own companies and God will be blessing their business and all the new Christians wont work for mammon but give up to 50% of their income back into the cult and the sheer money pouring in from the films, songs, business and tithing will finance the biggest revival in history. The two prophets will be the Revelation 11 witnesses and every person that loves money more then God will hate them and every hurting broken hi ways and bi ways rejected person will love them and serve them with undying reverence. The light and the dark will fight and money will start flowing from the blind whore and the wicked into the films and brands and companies of the righteous and then the real Beast will bring out a Mark so that the righteous guys cant trade anymore. Then the cult will live on supernatural provision like manna from heaven and go and live by faith and all of the rest of the world will be lining up to take the Mark to protect themselves and save the economies of the world from this cult and despot killing leaders. Now you think that is just a story. Let me tell you its the only way you are going to understand the coming judgment and days ahead. The only way into leadership in the new church will be to sell all you own and bring it to the Apostles feet and the new church will share as each has a need. The people with no possessions when they arrive as they are junkies or prostitutes will right way be healed and given a position in authority. Simple unlearned men and women will change the world. I am a manic depressive who for six years thought he was one of the two witnesses and as a true prophet of God with gifts I have seen and asked the Lord about a lot of this. The two prophets I feel will also have contemporary rocks stars singing from their stages and will be really popular with the common man. Jesus will rise up thousands and thousands of people in the 144,000 that have no bible college training. So as to fulfill this verse. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (Amplified Bible) 27[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. 28And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are, 29So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.&lt;br /&gt;I am a fool. I know no person in the world that understands the role of the two witnesses as I explain it and I know it is going to be. At the moment this is only a story but watch and see, when you see two big evangelists healing heaps of people and rasing up a new church, pay attention to their message and seek the Holy Spirit as they might not be the false prophets people will be calling them to be.

Especially the better made comforters. If you are finding yourself looking for a cheap down comforter, but just not sure where to look, you may be surprised to know that it is possible to find one for less than retail price. Knowing where to look is the trick. If you pay attention to the clearance section of most fine department stores, especially after January, you are sure to find a cheap down comforter there. Because the down comforters are mostly used during the cold winter months, the department stores will be eager to sell them at cheap prices after winter, to make room for the new spring bedding that they will soon be getting in their stores. This is a great way to find a down comforter that you can afford, as well as one that you will love to use for many years. You can shop online for a cheap down comforter as well. Try searching Ebay, and outlet stores for your best buy on a down comforter. However, when you are purchasing something as heavy as a down comforter online, you are looking at shipping charges, which may have an impact on your total prices. Make sure that you are getting enough of a deal on the comforter so that you can afford the added on cost of shipping. Try looking around your local close out store for a cheap down comforter. Chances are that a close out store will have something like a down comforter right after winter when they receive a shipment from the stores that they purchase from. This is an excellent way to get your hands on a down comforter for only a fraction of the regular retail price. As you can see, buying a cheap down comforter is possible, when you know where to look. After reading this article, you may even come up with some other places that might have a down comforter that you can afford as well. Try  shopping around until you come across a good deal that you can't pass up. Corine has worked in the furniture industry for more than 15 years and has experience in fitting the best comforters with the customer's needs.

Currently, the most used applications are probably cameras, email and calendars. If not exactly useful, ringtones, wallpapers, themes and games are also popular features on a cell phone. A smartphone has an operating system (OS) just like your PC or Mac and there are several operating systems available just like there are in the world of PC:s and laptops. Symbian, Linux, Windows Mobile etc. You could say smartphones are electronic handheld devices that integrates the functionality of a cell phone and a personal digital assistant (PDA). Cell phones become "smart" when we ad capabilities, such as PDA functions, into them. The big difference between a "normal" cell phone and a smartphone is that you can install programs on a smartphone. There are thousands of different softwares available for smartphones. Some more useful than others. Everything from Office programs to weight watchers. Before you go and grab a smarphone be shure to check out the programs available for the phone. If you buy a Nokia Symbian phone you will have the largest set of software available. But remember there might be some reasons not to choose a Symbian device, but a Microsoft or Linux device instead.

The result? A decreased production of neuropeptide Y, which in turn reduces appetite, increases energy and decreases fat storage. Your reward? Less hunger and more weight loss. Some non-prescription appetite suppressants like the herbal phentermine are also known to be very effective. Since it is natural, side effects are fewer compared to prescription phentermine pills. Herbal phentermine pills are manufactured similar to prescription pills and work in a similar manner. Herbal phentermine also suppresses the appetite, burns calories and increases metabolism and energy. Herbal Phentermine contains botanical and thermogenic ingredients and so must be followed with a healthy diet and good sleeping habits to avoid complications. Also, since herbal phentermine does not require a prescription, it is preferred to the regular phentermine. Only herbal phentermine can help in increasing metabolism, which is not possible by the prescription-based phentermine. So, basically this increases energy and metabolism levels while decreasing appetite and burns calories at the same rate as the prescription phentermine pills. Herbal phentermine is less expensive, requires no prescription and produces fewer side effects while having the same weight-loss effect as prescription phentermine. Many believe that because herbal phentermine is more ""natural"" it is better for you. This may or not be the case, but thousands swear by it. Please be sure to always follow your doctor's instructions, and be very up front about any side effects you may be experiencing, no matter how trivial they may seem at the time. Phentermine Pills provides detailed information on phentermine pills, cheap phentermine pills, how does phentermine work, ordering phentermine diet pills and more.

The ease with which we manage every area of our lives  from getting ready to go to school in the morning to going to bed at night  can be significantly improved if we approach the tasks to be done in an organized manner. Unfortunately, we were not all born with an innate organizing ability, and more unfortunately, there are few opportunities to learn the skill.  But its never too late  or too early  to begin learning! Begin by having each child in your family choose their color, and use it consistently.  It will save lots of squabbles over whose notebook or umbrella is whose. Attach a pen with the ink color of each child nearby the family calendar (which should have lots of writing space!)  We had four children playing soccer at the same time, but soccer written in red ink told me it was Jenny who needed a ride.  Encourage your children to be responsible for their own schedules and commitments.  Start by teaching your child to use an alarm clock and expecting them to use it. Does your child have trouble deciding what to wear in the morning?  Part of the problem may be too many choices.  Eliminate anything from the closet that doesnt currently fit, is not in season or in style.  Then, spend some time with your child planning wardrobe combinations and list them on a sign on the closet door for a quick morning reminder.  Last minute hassles over lost shoes?  Identify a specific place for shoes  preferably near the front door!  Children learn by example  how are you doing in that department? If your children pack their own lunches for school, work out a system that suits each child.  My daughter preferred to pack hers the night before, but my son  never more than ten minutes before the bus arrived!  To eliminate Johnny taking Marys lunch, use different colored containers or labels for each child.  Create a standard shopping list of lunchbox items each child likes and make sure to keep those items on hand.  Put a list on the refrigerator with any special items that are available (e.g., leftover steak from dinner last night).  By the way, if Sara forgets her lunch and you drop what youre doing to deliver it, youre giving a message that she doesnt have to remember.  No child ever suffered seriously from missing lunch for one day! Send positive messages that encourage them to remember by including a love note in a lunch box with messages  Good luck on your math test! One of the ongoing hassles of school days  regardless of the childrens age  are those papers that need signing by Mom or Dad (and frequently require checks!).  Identify a specific place for only those items.  A clearly labeled magnetic pocket on the refrigerator door is a great option.  Keep some Sign Here Post- it? Flags nearby to help spark your memory or encourage your children to flag the documents to show you where to sign. Completing homework is every parents primary concern.  The first challenge is helping them to get their assignments home.  Help them find an assignment book that is easy to use. Each evening go over assignments with your child to see that homework is complete!  Creating a productive study environment is crucial, keeping in mind that everyone does not need the same environment to be successful.  Some children work best alone in a quiet room, while others do better sitting at the kitchen table while Mom or Dad fixes dinner.  Since computers have become a major factor in homework, develop family policies about who can use the computer when.  Keep supplies and resources on hand to eliminate unnecessary last minute shopping trips. Of course you couldnt expect me to write an article on back to school without mentioning a filing system.  Since research shows that the average person spends over one month each year looking for lost information, its never to early to start teaching kids how to file!   (Bonus:  If you use Taming the Paper Tiger software, you can hire your child to help you with your filing!) Finally, notes of all varieties can be a wonderful way to communicate to your children  with one caveat. Years ago, I overheard my son say to my daughter one morning, I wonder what I have to do today, theres one of those yellow things on the mirror.  I suddenly realized that it was important to give positive messages as well as parental reminders.  Waking up to, You did a great job cleaning up the kitchen last night, is a great start to good day at school!

As it slows down, so does your metabolism. Keep in mind a faster metabolism will help you acheive healthy weight loss. See these symptoms below, and check if any or all of them fit to your situation. Cold hands and feet, low body temperature, sensitivity to cold, a feeling of always being chilled, headaches, insomnia, dry skin, puffy eyes, hair loss, brittle nails, joint aches, constipation, mental dullness, fatigue, frequent infections, hoarse voice, ringing in the ears, dizziness, loss of libido, and weight gain, which is sometimes uncontrollable. If these symptoms fit your situation, you might be suffering from hypothyroidism, or a low functioning of the thyroid gland. A sluggish thyroid means a sluggish metabolism, and that means weight gain no matter what diet you are on. What can we do? You may be consuming the wrong oils. Your polyunsaturated oils (soy, corn, . safflower) are now fed to pigs and livestock, as it causes them to gain weight. Corn and soy (and their oils) are now recognized at anti-thyroxin agents. These oils have Linoleic and linolenic acids, long-chain fatty acids, which have an anti-thyroid effect. What can be done then? There is a good natural way to stimulate the thyroid gland, and return to your natural and healthy weight. First of all, you must eat sensibly and try at all costs to eliminate the white toxins from your diet. These are, refined white sugar, refined white flour and chemically processed (including commercially fried) potato in any form. These also have a detrimental effect on your whole body, not just the thyroid gland. Next you must change your oil consumption from the polyunsaturated varieties (once considered beneficial for your heart and circulatory systems, but now they are under study research to be culprits for a whole range of human maladies). You may be surprised to learn that the polyunsaturated oils are now fed to livestock, as they are natural anti-thyroxin agents and cause the animals to gain weight quickly! Eat only VIRGIN or EXTRA-VIRGIN (meaning unprocessed and unadulterated in any way) olive oil, peanut oil, and if you can locate, coconut oil. Eat these oils in small and logical quantities. If you must eat mayonnaise and other oily sauces, use these oils and make them yourself. With the new food processors, you can make a very delicious mayonnaise in 1 one minute using an egg, a bit of salt, a dash of lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Good for your heart and thyroid. Your thyroid will turn back on, but you need to assist it to lose weight. This means a daily exercise program, a logical diet and banishing from your diet all culprit oils and products. Read food labels more carefully. Do not be afraid of saturated fats. As long as there are no TRANS FATS included, saturated fats can be very good for you, and helpful for your thyroid. An example of this is peanuts or peanut butter (without any trans fats added). To achieve a maximum effect from a rejuvenated thyroid gland, follow first of all a quick detox diet This is always beneficial. Next replace your edible fats as advised above, and third, follow a maintenance diet and exercise light program and you will see positive results from the first few days.

If it happens, it happens. It's something you didn't plan and it's an incident you have to live with. There's over 70% of the population working on business premises, if not, it's business transports. So be warned now as accidents never sleep. Work accidents are not common as there is a huge impact from Health and Safety. Checks are carried out periodically to ensure a workplace is free from hazards, to prevent accidents. If however, they do occur, the cause of the accident is investigated and future prevention is carried out. So there is always a big helping hand from the Health and Safety Standards. If an accident at work does occur, it's embarrassing. Colleagues can't believe it happened to you and become more precautious with their role. They feel sorry for you for now, not being able to competently complete your role. So they give you a hand. Initially there's remorse all around... it becomes an understanding culture. After a while it becomes a pain, especially for your colleagues who keep putting a halt to their job to help you. Frustration arises and in their heads they'll be thinking. 'Now he's taking the ****!' But you're NOT! You are the one that had the accident at work and your body welcomes injuries in different ways to others. After a while tension gathers in the atmosphere and by now you're reported to the supervisor and disciplinary action is just round the corner. You feel let down. In a workplace environment, business is business, no matter who you are. You have your own targets and deadlines to achieve. If they're not met, you will jeopardise your position. This is the game for any business. Each worker has a family to feed, so they need work to fulfil that criteria. Also an accident at work can possibly jeopardise your position. It could prevent you from carry out your 'full' responsibility. Initially everybody understands, but after a while they'll be thinking 'it was only a small fall'. But only you know it wasn't just a small fall. It's not only made an adjustment to your working life, it also messed up your social and family life. You can't sleep, shower properly, play sports or even have sex. But only you see that side of the picture, your colleagues don't. They only see you at work. Back to your working life... over time, the supervisor now reports you to the person above and you're just waiting for your name to be called to see the manager. Now it's going to hit you. You're either, get laid off, get demoted, or transferred to another department. This is where it hurts the most. The managers can't do anything but take necessary actions to ensure your position is 'fully' meeting its targets. But he's your best friend... so, it's not his company and even if your best friend doesn't take action against you, someone above his ranking will take action against him. So either way something will happen to your role. Remember, if a business does not fulfil its role to provide product and services to its' buyers or users, then the definition of business is not fulfilled. So now what... are you thinking of an accident at work claim? It's been 11 months since your injury and now you're thinking of you an injury claim!? If you took action at the early stages of your accident, by now you would have been in a better position. Nevertheless it happens all the time. Workers 'think', been with the company for so long, they won't do anything outrageous. Well you can't predict the future and neither can they. But what they can predict is your work performance, past, present and future. They forecast the future of their business and you should forecast your work future. However you're scared thinking who'll be the bread earner if you lose your job. Let's worry about that in a minute, but first let's put the cards on the table... Making mistakes is common practice as you know, nobody's prefect. Everybody learns from mistakes and ensure they don't make the 'same' mistake again. Anyway, you make a mistake at work, you get told off, make another, you get told off again. Now if you keep making mistakes over time, what the hell do think is going to happen. Your supervisor is going to start looking over your record and start taking disciplinary action against you. First verbally, then in writing. Theses aren't the same' mistakes, but they're made according to your supervisor. Think about it this way, what happens if your supervisor makes a mistake, what will he do? Remember you can only report to the supervisor, there is no contact between you and his supervisors! Back to the making mistakes... what happens if the company makes a mistake...? Stuck aren't you... you can't think of much besides making a complaint. If an accident at work occurs, it gets logged and depending on how serious you look in the eyes of the company, you'll be 'kindly' given days or weeks off. Being compensated for sick pay, which you know isn't much!!! The injury affects your 'life', not just your work and the company gives you a couple of days to recover. Now that's a joke! No matter what action is taken against you need to make an accident at work claim. Why? This is the only 'powerful' solution you have over the company if they make a mistake. Now you're both sailing in the same boat. It's easy to claim compensation. An accident at work is also a battle with your social and personal life and that's why a system which provides a NO Cost, No Fear, No Confusion and No Risk factor can only lead you to success.

Four Tools To Release The Winter Blues</title><content type='html'>By Brian Walsh What an appropriate acronym. It stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. I used to live in the arctic. In winter, we didn't see the sun for many months. I am acutely aware of the winter blues and how people are affected emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Much has been written on the subject, so I would like to provide you with some supplemental information. Natural Light Research has demonstrated that exposure to natural light has a positive effect on human health, emotional well-being, and therefore learning. Some of the common symptoms of lack of natural light are fatigue, disturbed sleep patterns, appetite and weight disorders, depression, skin damage, and suppressed immune functions. During the short days of winter, a common problem is Seasonal Affective Disorder. The symptoms can be easily remedied through daily exposure to sunlight. Alternatively, Bright Light Therapy (phototherapy), using a minimum of ten thousand lux units for thirty minutes in the early morning, will often cure SAD. Just to put this into perspective, even the cloudiest day is rarely below ten thousand lux, and a sunny afternoon could be as much as one-hundred thousand lux. Do your own research to understand the current technology for Bright Light Therapy devices. The commonly-used fluorescent tubes, found in many offices and training facilities, have only narrow spectrum light, and they also emit a constant pulsing that can create stress and fatigue. A study of 750 classrooms ((21,000 students) in California, Washington, and Colorado found that students in classrooms with windows and skylights learned 20 to 26 percent faster than students in classrooms with the least natural light exposure. A Florida study of two first grade classrooms found that full-spectrum lighting reduced nervousness and hyperactivity. The students also improved their overall classroom performance. The Law Of Emotion A person can only have one set of emotions and feelings at a time. Stronger emotions and feelings replace weaker ones. Indifference or boredom can be substituted with appreciation or curiosity. Curiosity can then be replaced with excitement, which in turn can enable a high-energy learning state. Self-criticism can be substituted with a strong self-esteem. Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) is a way of modeling how successful people achieve their results. It gives us a wonderful set of tools and principles for enhancing the components of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-control, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The Love Factor Two parallel studies were conducted on young newborn rats sourced from the same supplier. All aspects of the experiments were identical, including their food. In one of the locations, Cambridge University in England, the rats were gaining weight and thriving. In the other location, Harvard University in the USA, the rats were experiencing less measurable growth. &lt;br /&gt;The researchers were unable to rationalize the difference until they later discovered the one factor that made the difference. In order to clean the cages at Harvard, the maintenance staff moved the rats into other cages. At Cambridge, while some maintenance workers cleaned the cages, other workers held and stroked the rats. If TLC (tender loving care) can have that kind of effect on the physiology of rats, think what it can do for a human mind. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) EFT is one of the many techniques in the new field of Energy Psychology. It is in the branch known as meridian therapies. The technique removes negative emotions, reduces or eliminates pain, releases phobias, and assists in setting and implementing positive goals. EFT is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture, to treat emotional disorders. Focusing on the issue and stimulating the major neural pathways initiates a memory process causing change by unblocking the emotional short-circuit. This process results in substituting positive emotions for the negative emotions, which were previously learned and associated with the issue. The process initially requires the person to think about the event or issue. Simple tapping with the fingertips is used to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on the hand, head, and chest. This combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing specific phrases works to clear the emotional block from the body's bio-energetic system. This restores the mind and body's balance, which is essential for optimal learning and mental health. EFT can dramatically enhance intellectual performance simply by eliminating the emotional lids on our intellectual potential. Most SAD Goes Unnoticed. Most of us navigate through the winter totally oblivious to how poorly we are functioning. Those who evade SAD are regular outdoor exercisers and walkers. Many of us just feel a bit down, and turn to comfort food. The lethargy sets in and we pine for the spring. Be assertive. Releasing the winter blues is simpler than you think. Begin today. Get outside. International speaker, Dr. Brian E. Walsh, is the bestselling author of Unleashing Your Brilliance. For much of his 30-year corporate career he was involved in human resources, specifically training. While living in the arctic, Brian studied anthropology and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), which prepared him for working with other cultures. He was then transferred to China where he served as his companys GM. After his return to Canada, he elected early retirement to further his earlier interest in NLP and hypnotherapy. He returned to formal study, and within four years had achieved his Ph.D. His dissertation, which focused on accelerated learning techniques, inspired his passion and his book, Unleashing Your Brilliance.

While it might be difficult to actually locate recipes that are labeled to be healthy for the colon, you can learn to recognize them by the ingredients that they contain- namely fresh fruits and vegetables.  In addition, a healthy recipe will contain little or no white flour and white sugar.  Perhaps the best recipe for colon health, however is to include lots of fruits and vegetables in your meals as described below. The large intestine or colon is where the results of the entire digestive process gather up to leave the body. Due to poor eating habits, most people have an unhealthy colon resulting in constipation.  If your colon is not in tip top shape, food can get trapped in the lining and start to rot.  It can also become hardened in there and can even be trapped in your colon for years! Of course, food plays a big role in the health of your colon.  There are many arguments for the pros and cons of a vegan diet, however when it comes to colon health, a vegetarian way of eating has many benefits. Animal foods are hard to digest where plant foods are quite easy to digest.  So, colon healthy recipes will include little or no animal foods and be based mainly on whole grains, fruits and vegetables.  In addition to good colon health, using recipes made with these foods will have a pronounced effect on your overall health in general. Vegetables and fruits are very colon friendly and can be processed or digested quite easily by the body.  They contain a variety of vitamins and minerals as well as enzymes and fiber- all things that are essential to good health.  Fiber, in particular, is good for your colon health as it adds bulk which helps to pass the food along the digestive tract. One simple and easy breakfast recipe could be a fruit salad with oatmeal (not the packaged or instant stuff).  Natural fruit juice can be quite healthy too although it does not have fiber and drinking a lot of water will help with the digestive process. Always try to include a salad for lunch with lots of dark leafy greens.  Stay away from the iceburg and try to include romaine lettuce and spinach as these have more vitamins.  Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and kale are great additions to any salad.  Dont forget the olives and artichokes for a little zest.  Instead of bottled dressing which is probably loaded with sugar, try olive oil and vinegar- you might even mix in some fresh herbs and create your own salad dressing recipe! For snacks, stay away from anything that comes in a package and go for raw nuts, fruit, veggies or even a nice fruit smoothie- made with real fresh fruit, of course!  If you need something crunchy try spreading all natural peanut butter on celery (this can also help to satisfy any cravings for sweets). Colon healthy recipes for dinner follow the same common sense rules.  Try cutting down on the red meat and eating fresh fish along with a salad and perhaps some steamed broccoli, zucchini and carrots.  If you need something more substantial try adding brown rice, corn on the cob or potatoes. Just like with any other aspect of your health, eating nutritious healthy foods is a sure fire way to keep your colon, and your whole body, in good health.

Some interviewers intentionally do not mention anything about duties and responsibilities to test the reaction of the candidates. Those less confident will show on the face. I usually respond to the candidate "You're lucky I'm the interviewer and I'm accountant by training. So I can tell you what are the duties and responsibilities of an Accountant... but what if I'm the boss. I do not know anything about accounting. A friend I know just asked me to get an Accountant as my business is growing. Now should'nt you tell me what the Accountant is supposed to do. Isn't it a profession? Didn't they teach you stuff like that in business school. Imagine if our company is hiring an in-house doctor and the candidate asks "What is a doctor suppose to do?". Another favourite question by candidates to the interviewer "Are your accounts uptodate?" I answer swiftly "No. They are quite backlogged and damn messy". And watch the reaction on the candidate's face. Some show disinterest and some insecure. And then I add "if our accounts are so beautiful and uptodate we don't need an Accountant do we?" Candidates should just learn to listen carefully and spot any potential problems given away by the interviewer during the interview. If there are, phrase your question carefully about the problem spotted and ask this during the open session. Do not think about problems you may have heard, read about or whatever from somewhere and ask the interviewer. Just remember, after two or three years you maybe the one sitting on the other end. Think about what you like in a candidate during an interview.

However, I am not talking here about ordering expensive wine at a client diner. Wine can be used more creatively and productively to connect to this target audience. For example, wine proved to be a powerful marketing element for a startup magazine targeting an audience that is personally affluent and controls an enormous amount of money. BuySide magazine is a publication for institutional investors and money managers. When it was first conceived, it had to overcome what seemed to be a big drawback. Its founder, Gordon Holmes, lived in Sonoma, California, and insisted that the magazine be based near his home, far away from both the financial and media centers in  New York. In discussions with Holmes, I discovered that Holmes insistence on basing his operations in Sonoma was not just a whim or a wish to have a short commute to work. It turns out that five generations of his family had been involved in California agriculture and he was passionate about California wine and wine-growing. I made a decision  to turn BuySides remoteness from financial and media centers of action into a positive. His location in California's wine country would become part of the magazines positioning. The first step was to create a private label BuySide Wine. In a deal with local wineries, we were able to source a sufficient amount of BuySide Merlot and Chardonnay. A special wine bottle label was designed to reflect the unique story of this boutique wine. Next, a direct mail campaign was developed using wine as a theme and Buyside wine as a premium. The campaign was aimed at advertisers and companies that wanted to reach the magazines  audience of institutional investors. The chief element of the direct mail campaign was a brochure. The reader was immediately confronted with a stark, bold headline on the front of the brochure: "WHERE DO YOU GO TO TALK TO INVESTORS WITH $TRILLIONS TO INVEST? &lt;br /&gt;When the brochure was opened, the inside headline provided the answer:  &lt;br /&gt;"TO THE WINE COUNTRY On the left side of the inside page, we developed a fanciful photo that conveyed the message we wanted: In the photo, Holmes was wearing a suit and holding a cellphone, sitting at a desk which had a computer on top of it, in the middle of a winery. Next to the desk was a street sign that said Wall Street. The other side of the page  told the story of Buyside and how it reached this affluent, influential audience of institutional investors. The copy also directed readers to an offer in the back. As part of the offer, companies that responded to the mailing would receive a free bottle of BuySide winewhite or red. The mailing and promotion powered the magazine to success far ahead of schedule. But wine proved to be more than a launching pad in a direct mail campaign. It became part of the magazines positioning, separating it from the competition. The wine angle proved powerful for years to come. At money management conferences, where wine was given out at BuySides booth, people would come into the conference and ask  Where are the wine guys? Everyone knew what they meant. While developing a private label wine may not be for everyone, there are other ways to use wine creatively in affluent marketing. Wine tastings, and food and wine get-togethers have been used successfully by professionals seeking to market their services to an affluent audience. But like wine itself, it takes taste and  sophistication to make it work. Leon Altman is a marketing consltant, coach and copywriter.

The rates are not all complete, but the studies are showing that a real reduction in hair loss is what you will have when using the laser hair removal system. The laser hair removal system uses light to change how the hair follicle acts. As the laser changes the hair follicle, this is going to put a stop to the hair growth, lessening the amount of hair growing on the back, on the legs, or on the neck. Laser hair removal is not going to work as well the first session on hair that is light in color such as blond or red, or on gray colored hair. There are no long-term results that can be stated with any real certainty because the laser hair removal procedure is one that has not been established for the long term, it has only been used for the last few years. For those who have darker skin, that are tanning all the time, that are generally dark in color, or those who are using any type of coloring tanning solution you will be required to talk to your consultant about this. You dont want to have the laser actually burn your skin or discolor the skin in any way, so talking about this topic before hand will give you the best informed decision. If you are considering using a laser hair removal treatment that is not through a license practitioner you may find that if not done properly you could have the skin turn colors, and the hair is not going to be totally gone. Several treatments are required for any laser hair removal system to be complete and to give you the best overall effects of removing and stopping the hair growth. Be on the look out for those who are claiming that the process is totally painless. There are some people who are going through the laser hair removal system that experience clogged pores, acnes and other problems, while others do not. The general considerations are that most people are not going to experience these problems or pain from these types of problems but you should also be aware of them. Guaranteed 100% hair removal is not going to happen  no matter where you are going for treatment. No laser hair removal treatment is going to be 100% on the first treatment. Many treatments are needed to stop the hair growth. Copyright 2006 - Ivar Rudi. Ivar suggests you find great market for less by shopping online today.

Because we depend on word of mouth advertising, and an angry customer is an angry advertiser. First of all, I want to make sure you understand that I don't advocate making a customer mad just so you can get some good out of it, or practice what I am going to talk about.  In fact, if you have kept all your customers happy, you don't need to worry about it.  Just move on to something else.  But before you go, let me ask you if you think your customers and potential customers are not angry?  Better yet, do you know for sure?  One thing is for certain.  When we create an angry customer, we don't want to have to assume that customer is lost to us forever. Second, I have written this article using the term "network marketing".  In today's web based world, most internet businesses are essentially high-speed, international and can easily use most network marketing models.  Hence, most of the guidance in this article will apply to both areas.  Even more, most information in this article could apply to almost any business, even the brick-and-mortar sort. WHY DOES YOUR BUSINESS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ANGRY CUSTOMER? Sometimes, we all screw up and wind up with an angry customer.  We are going to talk about the results of this and some ways you can turn this into a positive situation, or at least get something positive out of this negative situation. The obvious goal of network marketing is to have happy, satisfied customers because these are the people we rely on to help build our business.  In addition to being repeat customers, which means more income for us, satisfied customers are the best advertising tool those of us in network marketing or internet marketing or any other marketing can hope for! If, however, we create an angry customer, not only have we lost this sale and future sales from this one customer, but we may now possibly have a very motivated negative networker marketing against us.  Truly, if the heart of network marketing success rests on the passionate word-of-mouth advertising activities of our satisfied customers, just imagine the impact of even a small group of unsatisfied customers as they passionately spread their negative message about your business in particular and network marketing in general. TURNING THE DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER AROUND Things happen, and sometimes they are not positive.  Many of these events are simply beyond your control, but the customer will not see it that way.  All the customer knows and feels is that you, your business, product, service, or opportunity has failed him or her.  You can bet most of them will NOT see this as an accident. Without a doubt, the best first step you can take at this time is to immediately contact the customer, find out what the problem is, or is perceived to be, and assure them that you will make the situation good.  There is a small problem here.  We don't always know who these people are. COMPLAINING CUSTOMERS ARE VALUABLE TO YOUR BUSINESS, BUT... A study by the Strategic Planning Institute of Cambridge, Pennsylvania, found that the average business NEVER HEARS FROM 96% OF ITS UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS.  If something is driving customers away from your network or internet business, you need to know about it!  Since dissatisfied customers leave no trace, you must actively strive to create that trace so that you can take steps to change the situation which caused the problem.  This will allow you to make more satisfied customers than you would have and will help you prevent negative marketing which may be targeted at your business. You must actively encourage your customers, website visitors, and/or prospects to complain, and you need to provide a means for them to do this. You might provide email links, or response cards for these complaints.  You can follow up with ALL customers by email, letter, and phone call or in person to find out what their experiences were.  If the were dissatisfied, this last purchase might really be their LAST!  Find out if they were satisfied with the services, procedures, personnel, information, or any other aspect of the experience. SAY, "I AM SORRY!" If they had a problem, the first thing you do is say, "I'm sorry!" and mean it.  Do not argue, but do show your willingness to find a solution.  Get the facts and resolve the issue as rapidly as possible.  Assure the customer that you are grateful for their information, and as soon as the problem is resolved, let the customer know.  Be honest and straightforward, and do not sugar coat the truth. Studies have shown the speed with which the customer is contacted and the speed with which the issue is resolved has a direct bearing on the chances of retaining the customer and stopping negative repercussions. WHY GO TO THIS TROUBLE TO SAVE THE DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER? The study mentioned earlier which was conducted by the Strategic Planning Institute of Cambridge found two critically important pieces of information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;70% of customers who DO complain WILL do business again with a company which resolves the complaint. 95% of customers who DO complain WILL do business again with a company which resolves the complaint QUICKLY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You work so hard to find the customers you DO get and keep.  Can you imagine the possible boost to the bottom line of your network business or internet marketing business if you could catch that 95% and turn them back into loyal, satisfied customers? RECOMMENDATION Try to find the customers and even potential customers, ask for their negative comments and complaints, and immediately take action to resolve their issues.  You may just add a new dimension of growth to your network business or internet business for a relatively small additional cost! You have expended vast amounts of time, effort and money to invite a customer to your store, website, or presentation.  That is the hardest and most expensive part of the marketing process for any business.  Relatively speaking, turning a dissatisfied customer into a satisfied one is almost without any real additional cost.  This one simple strategy, however can increase immediate and future sales and produce some of the most effective word-of-mouth advertising you can have.  Quite often the customer who feels that they have been treated well and fairly in a difficult situation will be more likely to sing your praises than the one who had a totally uneventful experience.

Some may decide that a new stereo system is more inportant than this month's electric bill.  This may be a little off the wall but it is still setting your priorities. Anyone wanting to better manage their money would be wise to determine what their financial priorities are and stick to them.  Of course, if you see that these priorities will not put food on the table and pay your bills then you will have to rethink your priorities. Setting your priorities is simple.  You just decide what is the most important aspect of your finances and put that item on top.  However, if you decide on that stereo over your electric bill, you may find yourself in the dark with no need for a stereo. There are basic priorities that pertains to everyone.  These are simply a matter of survival.  Here is a list of the basics: Water &lt;br /&gt;Food &lt;br /&gt;Shelter That was a tough one. What does it take to ensure that our basic needs are met?  The main ingredient is a source of income to pay the rent or house payment, pay the utilities, and buy the groceries. This is where you start setting your priorities. Before you can spend another penny, you have to take care of what you need to survive.  Don't put off the rent or house payment, utilities and don't skimp on your groceries and necessary health items.  If you do you will start experiencing money problems much sooner than you would if you had delayed paying other bills instead. What's next?  If your source of income happens to come from a job, then I would say your transportation.  You have to get back and forth to work so you can afford all of the other stuff.  This would include your vehicle payment, gas, insurance and maintenance.  If your source of income is not a job then go to the next step. And Now?  Naturally, this would be your other bills.  You can even split this category a little further. First, you have your bills that are secured by property.  You should always pay these bills first. Secondly, your unsecured bills which are probably credit cards. The reason you should always pay your secured bills first is that it is much more likely that they can take the secured property and probably will unless payment is made.  While credit cards companies are notorious for their threats, they very seldom follow through.  I'm not saying not to pay them, just that they aren't as high a priority as your secured bills. Next would be your savings.  I really to hate to list savings as your last priority because having a savings can prevent the use of those dreaded credit cards and help in so many ways.  If you have the money to cover all of your other priorities then you should always put savings at the top of the list.  However, if you don't have enough money to cover your bills and expenses then your savings will have to be the first to go. Just to recap.  The below list is an example of what your financial priorities should look like: 1.  Groceries and Necessary Health Items 2.  Housing (Rent or House Payment) 3.  Utilities 4.  Transportation 5.  Secured Bills 6.  Unsecured Bills 7.  Savings Let's hope that you never get in the position to have to decide which of the above list will have to wait.  But if you do, following the above priorities is absolutely necessary to ensure your survival.

A study has discovered that if you keep changing  your diet and eating patterns it takes a few days before your metabolism can adjust itself to them. And because your metabolism isnt abreast of your types of meals and eating pattern, fat burning happens at an unprecedented rate. However, friend it is not really all about rotating your overall calorie consumption, rather the main idea for burning fat tissues is to change the types of calories that you consume each day. This is basically how the calories shifting technique works: Your metabolism can not anticipate how much and type of food you plan to eat tomorrow or the next day, because you are yet to eat them.  What this means is that your metabolism only burns calories based on your established eating pattern; it generally expect your consumption to remain unchanged. Now, can you anticipate what will happen if you alter your eating habit constantly? Sure, your metabolism will be thrown off guard and you prevent its regular work load. Yes, if you offer your metabolism some strange calories and meals for a couple of days at a time, you will lose a lot of weight, because your metabolism will burn up the strange calories and also burn available fat tissues off your body. The  technique, therefore, is to change your diet every couple of days. Your diet should, naturally, be fat burning compatible foods that your metabolism can easily burn and then shift attention to your available fat tissues and make a mince meat of them. You need not starve yourself or do strenuous exercises to lose weight or cure obesity, just supply strange meals and calories to your metabolism at a couple of days intervals, and your metabolism will  burn off your  fat tissues.  There are no better techniques than this, friend. Why waste hundreds of hours online trying to find a good workout when you can &lt;br /&gt;find everything right at your fingertips at Weight Loss Sports?  And why spend over $500 a month (or more) for different online solutions when Advanced Fat Burning Techniques, a brand new no-starvation diet program for losing 9 Lbs every 11 days is available for you for a fraction of what other diet programs that don't work charge.

If you are one of these people that are having a hard time controlling acid reflux, there are a couple of things that you can do to help. First off, if you are suffering from severe acid reflux seeing a doctor may be the best place to start.  They will be able to put you on the right track, while also running tests to ensure that you are actually suffering from acid reflux and nothing more serious. There are a few medications that are commonly used to treat acid reflux.  They are as follows. 1. Acid suppressants are a great way to control acid reflux.  These are sometimes also known as H2-antagonists. 2. Proton-pump inhibitors reduce the products of acid in the stomach, which in turn reduces the amount of acid reflux that occurs. 3. Pro-kinetic medications can help speed up the stomach emptying process.  This goes a long way in ensuring that acids do not stick around for too long. 4. Antacids can sometimes be used to treat acid reflux, but you should consult with a doctor before using them.  The reason for this is because they are not recommended for use by people who are suffering from GERD.

I started to laugh, because I knew they were talking about my favorite 1% loan. As you know I have been selling neg am loans before Billy Corgan left the Smashing Pumpkins. After eaves dropping for another 2 minutes, I had to jump into the conversation, and throw my 2 cents about the negative amortization loans these ladies seem to believe was a fixed interest rate for 30 years. I let them know that sure there is a fixed rate option, but it certainly wasn't the 1% neg am option. I explained to them about how the interest is deferred, but they were confident that I was crazy and they had a fixed 1% rate for 30 years. As I said in my last article, you do get get a very low monthly, and most lenders offer 3 payment options each month. Borrowers choose from the fully indexed payment, the interest only or everyone's favorite the neg am payment. This loan is also being marketed cleverly as the "Pick a Payment Loan." In Southern California, these loans have become very good friends with realtors who have found a good partner with these loans, because they assist in qualifying for a house that 5 years ago would have been considered out of the buyers price range. When underwriting these loans, lenders only calculate the initial payment for the neg am payment. In many ways these payment option loans have helped increase million dollar home sales in California. Of course skeptics suggest that in five years when these peoples' payment cap fade into the sunset that they will go into foreclosure. I will ask you again...Where will you be in the next 5 years? Most homeowners in southern California most likely will move at least once in the next five years. For those borrowers who cashed into new home with their earned equity made a good decision with the payment option ARM. This loan is not for the insecure borrower or your parents if they are on a fixed income. The pick a payment loan is for movers and shakers who are ready to take a risk to play in this real estate game. Can you earn more by investing the deferred interest? The key to any mortgage is research and personal application for your goals. When Keith is not in his beach chair at Marine street, he is publishing finance articles online with the top mortgage companies. Take some time to research negative amortization, and use the available resources online to see if these loans are a good fit for your situation.  If you are ready to move forward with a loan, start comparing interest rates and costs online as well as speaking with qualified mortgage brokers and lenders who specialize in home financing.

Exercise and eat right then when old age comes around there wont be these sudden decisions of which to save  your butt or your face.  In this article let us take a glance at some of the more comical sides of the equation. There is an old clich that unfortunately is true. When it comes to losing weight, an older woman will have to choose between saving "her butt or her face." This refers to the idea that if you lose too much weight your face may look more haggard and wrinkles may be emphasized. You could get rid of a double chin and end up with a flapping turkey neck instead. Jowls that have lost their pads of fat could hang and gaunter cheekbones could create a ghoulish or wolfish look on an older face. Eyes could appear more sunken and the skin could lose its dewy sense of tautness. Often older faces that have lost too much weight appear cadaverous or as if they are continually remembering the pain part of another old expression "no pain no gain." The truth is that a fatter face often looks much younger than a gaunt face. The extra fat pockets plump out hollows in just the right places creating a youthful appearance. &lt;br /&gt;Wrinkles and expression lines such as crow's feet are simply less noticeable and often the skin texture on a plumper woman is simply smoother and healthier looking. On the other hand, if you keep enough weight on you could end up with a rear end or thighs that are much larger than you originally desired. Notice that many older women with beautiful line free visages and gorgeous complexions usually tend to be apple shaped or pear shaped in their lower body. So are there any remedies for this all too familiar paradox? Do you really have to sacrifice your looks for a smaller rear end? Does it really have to be one or the other? Unfortunately the older you are the more inescapable this sordid truth is. You either settle for being slightly heavier or you can spend thousands of dollars on anti -aging serums and plastic surgery to get rid of excess skin and wrinkles caused by the weight loss. Or you can opt to have plumper, less lined features and spend a ton of money getting liposuction on your tummy, thighs and rear end. If you have a bit of booty you are right with the in group as has been demonstrated by sexy superstars such as Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. Keep in mind that there are also many celebrities who buy padding to insert into their underwear to keep their backsides looking plump and well rounded. This seems so unnecessary when all these "stick insects with mascara" (as Bridget Jones called them) could easily achieve this by consuming a few good meals. If you want to be "cool" you will go for having a slightly bigger butt and a younger face. Although being thinner is healthier then being too fat, the best compromise is to be the healthiest weight for your age and body shape. Keep in mind too that the people that look the youngest, no matter what their weight, are those that are the happiest and not stressed out by things like calorie restricted diets, painful plastic surgery or even caring too much what other people think.  Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water daily.  These are two of the most important skin and beauty products you can apply to yourself.  Dont abuse your body with drugs and alcohol.  When old age comes around you will be so glad you practice these simple health tips and the truth of whether or not you have taken care of yourself will show in both your face and your booty.

You will need a complete lifestyle change and you will need to be committed. The body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and thats 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal. There are 5 most important things that must go together in any workout program. These are part of changing your complete lifestyle to one that is healthier. They also help you to naturally optimize your metabolism. The faster your metabolism the better your body uses your food for energy, instead of storing it as fat.&lt;br /&gt;I put them in the order of importance. 1. Eat more. Yes eat more. More meals that is. It is best to eat a small meal every 3-4 hours. The meal should be just large enough to where you are not hungry, as opposed to eating you are full. There is a difference, think of it as no bigger than the size of your two fists put together. Eating 1 or 2 meals a day slows your metabolism down. You should have at least 4-6 meals a day. For most a ratio of carbs-proteins-fats should be 50%-25%-25% is good, but each person is unique. 2. Drink more water. Most of us dont have enough water. This means our bodies are dehydrated. Two things a dehydrated body has trouble doing, one is releasing water. In order to lose fat you must be able to release water, because fat cells in your body are composed of mostly water. A dehydrated body cannot build very well. Muscle tone indicates a constant building state in your body. If your body isnt building that means it is losing muscle and its never good to lose muscle that slows your metabolism and makes you look flabby. 3. Maintain a balanced workout regimen of cardio and resistance (weights). Cardio is good for fat burning and its easy to do and to progress yourself. Resistance is a little harder because its not as easy to know what to do. If weights arent your thing then try Yoga or Pilates. Both are very effective resistance and core training and can help you maintain lean muscle and increase your overall metabolism. 4. Smart supplementation of your diet is your best solution to making sure you get the nutrients your food doesnt give you. A daily multivitamin will suffice in most cases, and if you dont like pills they sell it in liquid form. Plus cleanses, as well as detox formulas are awesome for eliminating toxins we take into our bodies without knowing. 5. Sleep is a very important part of any healthy lifestyle regimen. When we sleep our bodies and minds refresh themselves and allow us to function at an optimal level. Sleeping allows muscles to rebuild themselves and when they do that, it speeds your metabolism. You may ask why I gave you this long list instead of just telling you what exercises to do. The reason is if you think that exercising is all you need then you are mislead. If exercising is all we needed to look and feel great then everybody who works out at the gym would have great bodies and be healthy. If you have been to a gym before you know its not true.

Perhaps it is because the frequency of cancer cases has risen significantly over the past several decades, and experts predict its rate will continue to rise. In 2003 the World Cancer Report, an agency of the United Nations, predicted that cancer rates could further increase by 50% to 15 million new cases in the year 2020. It is commonly believed that increasingly stressful lifestyles and increasing environmental pollution are two of the factors contributing to this rise. One of the alternative treatments for cancer that has been used the longest is Essiac, an herbal tea that was developed in the 1920s, although it may have been in use for hundreds of years. That is because it is believed that the formula for Essiac was revealed by an old Native Indian healer. The person who named Essiac was a Registered Nurse in Canada, Rene Caisse. The name Essiac is Caisse spelled backwards. According to Ms. Caisse, she was told about the formula by a woman who claimed it cured her breast cancer. Furthermore, she told Caisse that she was given the formula by an elderly Ojibwa medicine man in Northern Ontario. Whatever the source for the formula may have been, it utilizes four herbs to produce an herbal tea. Caisse said she used the tea to cure her aunt of cancer. After this success, her aunt's physician, Dr. R. O. Fisher of Toronto, asked Caisse to treat some of his other patients with the herbal formula, and, Caisse related, other medical doctors "were impressed with the results." Caisse was encouraged to open up a cancer treatment clinic in Bracebridge, Ontario, where she treated thousands of patients with the formula she named Essiac. Although the clinic was closed in 1942, Essiac continues to be available as an herbal dietary supplement. It has been reported that Dr. Charles Brusch, who was President John F. Kennedy's physician, used Essiac successfully on his own cancer. The renowned alternative cancer treatment researcher, Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. wrote an article about Essiac Tea in 1992 detailing the scientific research projects that had been done to determine whether it actually was a useful treatment against cancer. Although the tests were not conclusive, Dr. Moss stated that Essiac was "worth investigating" because independent tests of the individual herbs that comprised the mixture had been proven to have significant anti-cancer properties. He also referred to "persistent anecdotal reports" that Essiac was a useful alternative cancer treatment Robert Scheer is a freelance writer and consultant for the Essiac Review web site.

Do you understand that your actions and behaviors affect your relationship?  The Journey from I-TO-WE, the road to a successful relationship, begins with the letter I.  Only when you know and understand yourself, and your partner has achieved the same, can you Co-Create a Conscious Relationship.  This assessment helps you recognize the areas in which you have strength and the areas that need attention. This free set of assessments offers you the chance to find powerful answers.  If you are willing to take the time to reflect on these questions, discuss them, and be honest with yourselves and each other, it can help you on your journey to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship so you can be Best Friends During the Day, Lovers at Night, and Partners for Life. The adventure of life gives us the incredible opportunity to learn and grow as individuals.  I like to say that we do not stop learning, stretching, growing, maturing, and changing until we are 6 feet under.  What happens so often is we go through life unaware that we  dont know what we dont know.  In this fast-paced world, many of us do not have or take the time to sit, take a deep breath, and really think about the statements addressed in these assessments.  We usually do not reflect on and consider the impact the answers to these statements can have on our relationship.  We must gain the awareness, learn the techniques, and practice the skills to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship. Take your time to think about each statement and be honest.  One partner should use a black pen and the other partner a red pen.  Rate your degree of agreement for each statement on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being a definite yes and 1 being a definite no.  Write your score on the first line to the left of each statement.  The second line is for your partners score. You may find it difficult to give certain statements a low score.  You may worry that your response will hurt or offend your partner or create conflict.  Honesty, however, is critical for the success of the Co-Create a Conscious Relationship program.  Also, no matter what score your partner writes down, be supportive; do not get defensive, resentful, or angry.  Thank him or her for being courageous and honest.  All of the topics in this assessment series are covered in detail, with exercises, in my book  The Journey from I-TO-WE. Conscious I _____ _____ - 1 - I have gained awareness that I am to blame for some of the problems in the relationship. _____ _____ - 2 - I have broken through the veil of denial about my unhealed emotional wounds. _____ _____ - 3 - I understand how my fears affect the relationship and myself. _____ _____ - 4 - I have looked at my issues and problems from different perspectives. _____ _____ - 5 - I have accepted the truth about the real issue or problem within myself. _____ _____ - 6 - I have taken absolute personal responsibility for all of my behaviors, words, and actions. _____ _____ - 7 - I have defined my values and vision to live by -- for the relationship and myself. _____ _____ - 8 - I have accepted the challenge to learn, stretch, grow, mature, and change. _____ _____ - 9 - I have made a plan of action and set goals for my changes. _____ _____ - 10 - I have made a commitment to myself, my partner, and to the relationship. _____ - Total Score You have 10 statements for a total possible score of 100.  If your total is:  80 or higher -- You scored in the upper percentile  Congratulations!  You have obviously taken the time to work, ensuring your relationship has the best chance to be successful.  Though your relationship is strong, it can only benefit from gaining new awareness, new skills, and new techniques.  Good luck in Co-Creating a Conscious Relationship!  60  79 -- You scored in the average range  Congratulations!  Re-read the statements you scored low on and take the time to learn how to raise your score.  Consider Co-Creating a Conscious Relationshipthrough gaining new awareness, new skills, and new techniques.  You and the relationship will be much stronger on  The Journey from I-TO-WE.  0  59 -- You scored in the lower range  Congratulations!  You now know where you need to take the time to closely examine these areas of your relationship.  It would benefit both of you to think about these statements, and work toward Co-Creating a Conscious Relationship through gaining new awareness, new skills, and new techniques.  Commit to each other to give unselfishly and unconditionally to do whatever you need to do to make each other feel safe, loved and cared for I hope this part of this assessment has been enlightening and helpful. When you get a chance, take the next set of this assessment. Keep the print outs for each so, at the end of the series, you can trace your progress on your journey to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship. I hope you and your partner Gain the Awareness, Learn the Skills and Practice the Techniques so you are successful on your Journey from I-TO-WE to live your lives as each others Best Friends During the Day, Lovers at Night, and Partners for Life&lt;br /&gt;2006  All Rights Reserved  Glenn Cohen I-TO-WE Relationship Coaching Become a member of the I-TO-WE Institute Community.

Money is just like fuel to any business. It is not necessary that every individual have sufficient funds to invest in his business. When the person is left with no other option to arrange funds, he tries to get a loan. But getting a loan is not an easy task! A simple thought of getting a loan makes the person think of that long cumbersome process, which the person has to undergo to get a loan. The person may need money to start a new venture, to expand his existing business, or to buy the machinery &amp; equipments for his business. Business loan is the answer to his entire questions. Business loan supports and provides financial assistance to all the business owners facing the financial crisis. Earlier getting a business loan also comprised of the same cumbersome stages, which made the person confused and puzzled; But now due to advancement in the technology, the person can get a loan without getting into those confused stages. In other words, online system has simplified the process of getting a loan. Like in the physical market, the person firstly has to search for various lenders. After searching, he has to go to each and every lender for the quotation. This implies waste of time and money. As every moment for businessperson is worth millions of pounds, so in order to save his precious time the lender provides business loan through online mode. Though the process in both the methods, whether physical market or through online, is same, but the only difference is that through online mode the person can apply by sitting at home and at anytime. Through online, the person has just to fill a form which asks regarding his financial details. And if the lender feels that you are eligible for the loan, he will definitely get back to you. Getting quotation through online also simplifies the process of comparing and choosing the lenders faster.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes the lender also provides guidance to borrowers regarding the utility of loan. The borrower can avail cheap business loan by keeping his house on collateral. The collateral enables the lender to lower the interest rate as he feels secured against the risk of non payment of loan. &lt;br /&gt;So to enhance your future growth opportunities, just dont lag behind because of your initial financial condition. Choose the lender and discuss your financial status and problem with him. Surely, he will suggest you the right path to overcome your problem. Michael T. Brian is the author of this article.

In this case make sure you set your alarm or whatever it takes to be on time, and even better ahead of time, for your LDS date. 6.  Smile! LDS dating is no different than the rest of life. Joy and smiles are attractive. They draw people to you like flies to sugar. 7. Maintain eye contact! Does not mean that you should sit through your LDS dating experience staring the other down, but do keep eye contact for most of the time, it helps connection. 8. Go activity LDS dating! If you feel a bit uncomfortable about sitting still at a dinner table for a full evening, go for an activity date where you will move around some and topics of conversation will emerge naturally. 9. Breathe! This might sound silly for your date, though it is so easily to forget to breathe if getting a little nervous. Take a couple of deep breaths every now and then and your date will be a more pleasant experience. 10. Follow up! If you enjoyed your LDS dating, let your date know afterwards. Like later in the afternoon or next day through a message, maybe SMS or a call. Enjoy your LDS dating! Kari Eriksson is an infopreneur and came across the popularity of LDS dating some time back.

In fact, sometimes I enjoy it.  It's not the actual call that fascinates me, of course, but more so it's the knowledge that the call will soon turn itself into actual food.  It is this transformation (phone call into food) that makes our country what it is today, and could also be responsible for the popularity in replacing the letter 'f' in words with 'ph,' such as in the sentence, "This is so phat, man."  And, of course, in that particular example, the fatness -- or phatness -- may be a result of the pizza... Nevertheless, my reason for this topic has nothing to do with any of this.  Rather, I wanted to discuss the conversation I had the other day with the person on the other end of the pizza delivery process.  Upon asking if they offered chicken as a topping, she replied, "I don't know, I think so."  I have a problem with that, because what would happen if they didn't have chicken?  Would she just wing it and choose something that I might like equally as much?  I don't think she'd be able to figure that out considering one minute on the phone isn't really enough time to get to know me.  It also bothers me that the person at the pizza place wouldn't know the available toppings, because when it comes down to it: it's a pizza place.  What more do you need to know besides the toppings?  It's like calling an ice cream parlor and asking if they have cones... But it gets better from here.  After I asked for wings, she asked me if I wanted the fresh kind or the frozen ones.  I can understand why she would ask me for my preference, but perhaps she could have reworded it into what she actually meant: "Are you a normal person or a total idiot?" Seriously, I would like to be asked the question above, only because most food service employees often don't have the opportunity to express themselves openly.  After this ice breaker, we could talk about life, philosophy and maybe even chicken.  For example, I would mention that if peppers could order pizza, they would order pepperoni, but if meat could order pizzas, they probably would not order themselves in the ball form. We could talk about anchovies and whether they are salty because of their assault.  And we would then cross the road and ponder what it meant to do so.  This would be particularly fascinating if she was still supposed to be at work, because then who'd be answering the phones?  (Answer: a machine.)  And through it all, I would still wonder what topping I was going to get on my pizza... Probably not what I ordered But I digress. Greg Gagliardi is a teacher and writer.

This includes letters, postcards, brochures, newspaper or magazine coupons, telemarketing, TV or radio direct response commercials, e-mails, and the copy on your web site. For any direct marketing campaign to be successful, you need to have a combination of marketing tools in order to make your offer repeatedly. One of the most potent tools you can use in your direct makreting is the direct mail letter. The letter, whether you're using it through the mail or the internet, is the actual sales pitch. It relays what your product or service is, and how much it can benefit the prospect. In short, the letter should do everything that a traditional person-to-person sales pitch does. Here are ten things that will make your letters more effective: 1. It must have a headline. The headline is the ad for the letter. It flags down the reader to read more. 2. Present the facts. Begin with a statement of basic truth, known and accepted by the reader. By introducing known facts, your create believability for later statements in the letter. 3. Do as much personalizing as possible. Personalize name, address, special interests, and anything else you can. 4. State your offer in the beginning, again in the middle, and again at the end. 5. Create a sense of urgency by giving prospects a cut-off date by which time your readers must respond to your offer. 6. Always include a P.S. The P.S. is the second thing readers read, following the headline. 7. Stress your main points with underlines, bold type, all caps, or a yellow highlighter effect. But don't stress too much. 8. Use short paragraphs, sentences, and words. In lettes of two or more pages use subheads. 9. Use black ink, plus blue to underline more important points. Print your signiture and make notes in the margins or hand-write a P.S. 10. Tell the reader exactly what to do upon completing the letter, along with how to do it, and when to do it. A succesful direct marketing campaign might consist of four pieces sent at two-week intervals: a two page letter, then a one page letter, then a postcard, then a telephone follow-up. It is important to remember that even the best letters don't get read if the envelope doesn't get opened. So make the envelope enticing to get your recipients to open it. You can do this by putting a "teaser" line on the outside, motivating the person to open it. You could use a window envelope with a photo of free gift, resemblance of a check, or some other unique design. This increases curiosity and gives the recipient a reason to open the envelope. The same is true for your e-mails. Make sure you put something recognizable in the subject line so that the recipient will recognize that is from you and will peak their curiosity, otherwise, they'll likely delete it without opening it. You should have an entire file of letters for different occasions: promotions, offers, thank-you, follow-up, referral seekers, and more. Always test you letters until you have a file of proven winners. All contents Copyright(c)2004 Joe Love and JLM &amp; Associates, Inc. All rights reserved worldwide.

Formerly developed in conjunction with the Dresden Codex, the Long Count begins with the presumed Mayan Creation date, noted as 13.0.0.0.0.  The most significant digits on the left are Baktuns (400-years), next are Katuns (20-years), and Tuns (360-days), and Uinals (20-days) and Kins (days).  The Long Count measures 13 consecutive 400-year-Baktun-cycles or 5200-Tun-years.  Therefore, conjecture rationalizes at least 12 Baktuns and possibly 13 Baktuns have elapsed prior to the onset of the Long Count.  The 5200-year Great Cycle, on the other hand, introduces a cyclic calendar system whereby 5200-Tun-years repeat to mirror the 52-year Calendar Round.  The secondary age category cumulatively adds to achieve 5200-Tun-years, or as some historians agree, 5200-Haab-solar-years in a Mayan 5200-year Great Cycle.  The Great Cycle is generally associated with 5200-Tun-years having 360-days each.  Depending on the context used, some opinions favor the 365-day-Haab-solar-year.  The special treatment of the Wayeb 5-feast days between the 360-day-Tun-year and the 365-day-Haab-solar-year is usually included for Long Count projections. The Antediluvian Calendar system applies 13 steps of 400-year-Baktun-cycles to describe the 5200-year Great Cycle from Adam to Enoch.  Six 800-year Generation Cycles extend the secondary age category to represent the lives of six Patriarchs.  The six secondary ages measure time since fatherhood until the characters death.  Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel and Jared each increment the secondary age category total by two 400-year-Baktun-cycles each.  Extra time beyond the 800-year Generation Cycle expresses in terms of 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-years for the first example, Seth.  The secondary age of Adam is the 800-year Generation Cycle in Genesis 5:4.  The secondary 807-year age of Seth includes the 800-year Generation Cycle, plus 7-Tzolken-sacred-years (Genesis 5:7). The secondary age category entails thirteen 400-year-Baktun-cycles in the vernacular of the Mayan Calendar.  Each 400-year-Baktun-cycle is the halfway, midpoint position for the entire Patriarchs 800-year Generation Cycle.  The end of Adams first 400-year-Baktun-cycle in the secondary age category also identifies the end of 130-years in the primary age category.  The end of Adams second 400-year-Baktun-cycle completes the first 800-year Generation Cycle in the secondary age category. Seths secondary 807-year age follows the same pattern.  The third 400-year-Baktun-cycle in the lineage is also Seths first 400-year-Baktun-cycle for the secondary age category.  Again, at the halfway point, Seths primary 105-year age of solar-side time split ends simultaneously with Seths first 400-year-Baktun-cycle.  The fourth 400-year-Baktun-cycle adds to the secondary age category for Seth.  Seths secondary age 800-year Generation Cycle finishes at the end of the fourth 400-year-Baktun-cycle.  A final period lasting 7-Tzolken-sacred-years or 1,820-days, adds the last primary age 5-Ethiopic-years according to the 364-day-Ethiopic-year.  The familiar 365-day-solar-year adjusts by one day every year to add approximately 7-Tzolken-sacred-years from the last 5-years in Seths 105-year primary age. The Holy Bible commits the bulk of this Holy of Holies to exploring given ages for the Antediluvian Patriarchs from Enos to Enoch.  Ages of Adam harvested calendar information from several known sources.  The Jewish Calendar, Egyptian Calendar and Sun Kingdoms Calendars of the Americas assist to discern fundamental requisites of lunar/solar calendar operations.  Enhancing our view of ancient time recording, additional materials gathered from the Book of Jubilees, Dead Sea Scrolls, three Book(s) of Enoch and mythological inferences compile for better awareness about ancient calendar systems.  Styles of writing and the consistency of meanings are useful in dating ancient texts.  The purpose here is to extract pertinent fragmentary evidence offered by ancient writings to facilitate reconstruction of the oldest Antediluvian Calendar system. Supplementary literature serves our calendar interests.  Original Septuagint texts translate to compose most of the canonical Holy Bible.  The Septuagint is aptly noted LXX, for the legendary seventy or so scholars involved.  Ptolemy II (285247 B.C.E.) requested six translators from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to work at the library at Alexandria.  They translated the first five books of Moses or the Torah.  The Pentateuch means the same name in Greek.  Most scholars estimate the latter part of the third century for scripture translations into Greek.  We are far more interested in the information disseminated in the text rather than every jot, yod or tittle (Matthew 5:18).  In English, this compares to crossing ts and dotting is.  We can rest assured diligent care was exercised by Septuagint translators in creating Greek renditions of the Bible.  According to the Letter of Aristeas, the Jerusalem high priest Eleazar, was to appoint trained Jewish sages to generate precise translations. Noteworthy resources embrace various stages of correspondence with several collections attributed to be authentically Septuagint.  A survey of the similarities and differences yields more specific calendar information targeted toward resolving the ages listed in chapter 5 of Genesis.  Contributing texts present themselves against the background of accepted calendar systems.  Several Apocryphal (false writings and not canonical) works also became known between 100 B.C.E. and 300 A.D. Striking 100-year differences exists between the Antediluvian Septuagint calendar ages and those respective ages in the traditional Bible.  A contrasting first 100-years of difference exists between the primary age of Adam, as reputed by the Septuagint and the accepted 130-year age in the later Holy Bible versions.  The Septuagint mentions the primary age of Adam to be 230-years at Seths birth in Genesis 5:3.  The Septuagints primary 230-year age of Adam departs from a wider set of l/s calendar terms, which indicate Septuagint translators were working with a discrete 100-years single term.  Prominent 100-year differences lead us to distinguish 100-year single terms stood alone in the script. This illustration suggests that 100-days-and-years are an isolated single term.  Associated numerical matching of X-days with X-years bolsters a more comprehensive scheme that situates a difference between the 260-year-sacred-cycle and the 360-year midpoint type of cycle.  Mayan calendar terminology substitutes for the equivalent 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle and the 360-year-Tun-cycle.  Important considerations that select 100-days-and-years graphically determine the difference between 260-day-Tzolken-years and 360-day-Tun-years to formulate the larger frames of 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycles and 360-year-Tun-cycles.  A distinct 100-year single term is visible in multiple translated texts. Emphasis for the primary age measures from the characters beginning to the primary age time at fatherhood.  In the popular Holy Bible, Seths primary 105-year age revises to be 205-years in the Septuagint.  Scrutiny of the Holy Bible primary 105-year age of Seth reinforces the notion that the 100-year portion was likely a 100-days-and-years single term and that 5-years shares the very same treatment by referring to a special 5-days-and-years single term.  Ending the 360-day-Tun-year with the special 5-day Wayeb period agrees with ending a 360-year-Tun-cycle with an outstanding terminal 5-year Wayab.  Seths last 5-years in the primary age or 1,820-days, link with 7-Tzolken-sacred-years in the secondary age category (Eqn. 13). Proper historical credit belongs to the Holy Bible from older versions that translate Torah.  Modern English versions of the Holy Bible better preserve original settings cast.  The Greek Septuagint did a more accurate job of translating spiritual underpinnings as opposed to precise numbers.  Modern word searches and the capabilities of the Internet enable exhaustive searching. The secondary 800-year Generation Cycle age of Adam, measured from fatherhood until Adams death, also mutates regarding 700-years in the Septuagint.  The primary and secondary ages of Adam offset by 100-years according to the Septuagint.  The identical 100-year deviation between the sacred texts affects the secondary age of later characters in the secondary age category by the same amount.  The mainstream of the Septuagint copies the generational flow from the characters age at fatherhood until the characters death.  Mesoamerican l/s calendar ages were ideally fixed for both 130-years as half of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle and the 400-year-Baktun-cycle as half of the larger 800-year Generation Cycle. Original Hebrew texts maintained accuracy in keeping with the Sun Kingdoms calendars.  Specific calendar units of measurement show the principal time reckoning ingredients embedded as bits and pieces.  Differences lasting 100-years continue throughout the remaining Septuagint genealogy.  Seth, for example, has 205-years in the primary age category at his fatherhood of Enos.  The secondary 707-year age for Seth likewise indicates a 100-year shortfall from the Holy Bible account.  Both cases for Adam and Seth eventually sum for the total age life spans of 930-years for Adam and 912-years for Seth, respectively. Septuagint translators had access to Torah scrolls and other manuscripts that modern people may never know.  Fire partially destroyed the library at Alexandria when Julius Caesar laid siege to the city in 48 B.C.E.  The Septuagint was the first canon in the Greek before the New Testament.  Books and parts of books were included in the canon.  Greek editions of the Hebrew Bible in many different languages aided the spread of Christianity.  Some early churches rejected Apocryphal and related works.  Septuagint research through all stages, amplifications and modifications is a separate study.  Every language and even dialect has particular meanings and interpretations akin to itself.  New translations and revisions are undergoing development to this day. Stringent rules for recopying Torah scrolls have always been in effect.  Asserted in Deuteronomy 4:2 and 31:24-26, divine instructions preserve all scriptures intact.  Orders prohibit any added or removed words or meanings.  The Levite priesthood held stewardship of the scriptures.  The New Testament later affirms the oracles of God are committed to the Jewish people (Romans 3:2). The earliest scriptures designed to protect the sanctity and original meanings inherent to the Hebrew Bible determine the copy practices of the Levite priesthood.  The chosen Levites were to make new copies of the Bible as older copies wore out.  Meticulous rules were in effect for transcribing text.  Every page needs to be an exact duplicate, word for word and letter by letter.  Counting numbers of words and/or letters per page permitted comparisons to the original text.  Up to three people eventually were required to make a copy.  A copyist sat in full Jewish dress, accompanied by at least two others tasked with checking the manuscript for errors.  Safeguarding the Sacred Text enabled the acclaimed fence to the scriptures.  Words and letters remained locked into position.  A single mistake caused the entire works destruction and the whole process started over. The Temple Scriptures rested inside the Ark of the Covenant of the Holy of Holies.  The increasing Jewish population used the same methods for worship and observance wherever they settled.  Levite scribes continued to painstakingly duplicate and distribute copies.  The Masoretic text of the 9th century C.E. seems to be a standard of authenticity for Biblical scholars.  Observing technical terms and relevant styles help to date scrolls and other written information.  The last Old Testament Prophet and scribe, Ezra is said to have fixed the canon of the Old Testament about 400 B.C.E.  Masoretic text also refers to later versions that date between 500 - 1000 C.E.  The moral to this condensed story is to realize due precautions have been observed to ensure the highest degree of content and meaning are conveyed by the new copy.  The early pathways of the Holy Bible tell the story of Judaism and the calendar practices of ancient civilization. Examination of the 100-years precludes simple editorial corruption concerning the frequency and deliberate variations of the Antediluvian ages.  The 100-day-and-year single term begins to take new meaning by separating two 50-year-Jubilee-cycle components.  Periods of 7-weeks having 50-days are celebrated by the Jewish Calendar festivals of Passover and Counting the Omer that leads to Shavot.  The King James Version (KJV), New International Version (NIV) and many other versions have corrected any Septuagint errors to reflect original Hebrew. The Hebrew alphabet is a language and numbering system.  Translating numbers into Latin, Greek and finally English combines the numerical value and the unit.  Two passes of the 50-days-and-years single term, rather than 100-years, substantially alters our interpretation of the Antediluvian ages.  Original Hebrew documents such as the Book of Jubilees and the three Book(s) of Enoch counted the number of repetitions of time cycles or addressed specific days and months during the year.  Counting Jubilees as either 49-years or 50-years has been a point of controversy in scholarly circles.  Seven-day weeks and 7-year-Sabbath-cycles involve the lunar-side of l/s calendars.  Many works mention a decree proclaiming heavenly tablets held written calendar information. The Book of Jubilees or the Book of Divisions, is another sacred historical text earlier introduced in Ages of Adam.  Most likely revised in the 2nd century B.C.E., the Book of Jubilees is a historical account from Creation to Moses.  The narrative divides Jubilee periods into 49-years in a familiar story comparable to Genesis.  The only complete version of the Book of Jubilees is in Ethiopic.  Large sections survive in Latin and Greek. Are you a pastor, educator or a student of the Holy Bible?  Timeemits.com seeks anointed people to review and contribute to the Ages of Adam ministry.  Ancient lunar/solar calendars like the Jewish and Mayan calendars provide the background to understanding early time.  Ancient calendars of the Holy Bible use differences between the moon and sun, numerical matching and a 364-day calendar year to describe X-number of days that match with X-number of years.

One reason we went to law school instead of to medical school was because we didn't want to take the extra math classes.  Instead, hoping to leverage our talents for writing, negotiating and public speaking we decided to enter into one of the most litigation intensive specialties within the law. Still, these lawyers can provide effective representation for their clients.  The reason is that most opposing attorneys are of the same mindset.  This mindset is; "I am a family law attorney and if my client needs tax advice they should seek the advice of a tax professional."  This is good advice, but seldom clients actually abide by it. The tax consequences of a divorce can have a tremendous impact on the actual (as opposed to stated) value each side receives in a property division or support order.  This leaves those lawyers with an understanding of tax law in a superior bargaining position.  The following article will discuss a couple areas where family law and tax law intersect. Support Orders The bargaining chips here are the exemptions and filing status.  Exemptions are a tax deduction so they are a benefit for the spouse receiving them.  Two ground rules to keep in mind is that a custody split should never be 50/50, (because neither party will get the exemption) and the court can't order parties to take a particular filing status. The advantages of taking certain tax positions can be analyzed by the DissoMaster software.  Once the exact benefits to both sides are calculated,
