'Nobody wants you when you're old and gray.' On the matter of turning 65... and other outrages.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant Author's program note. In 1921, that sultry chanteuse with a silken voice seasoned with a touch of honky-tonk and life's deflating experience -- Ethel Waters (1896- 1977) -- got up before the microphone one fine day and belted into history a little ditty by Billy Higgins and W. Benton Overstreet. It was a swinging song with attitude... and, it turned out, with "legs", too; a song so potent in its magic that over 50 major recording artists couldn't wait to get their vocal chords around it. It was "There'll be some changes made", and it included the resonating line that made us all queasy... "Nobody wants you when you're old and gray"... the line that justified an ocean or two of wild behavior, the wild oats you'd better indulge in when young and limber... before the Grim Reaper stamped your forehead with the iconic number 65 and measured you for eternity. Go now to any search engine, review your recorded choices; then "choose your poison" as Grandpa Walt used to say... but, whoever you select, take time to pay homage to Miss Waters, for she was a game old bird and after all was the first to urge us to approach olde age with dignity, composed, resigned, withered hands folded gently in your lap, glass for your false teeth at the ready -- not! Oh, no, Miss Waters celebrated not just the "you" you were... but the "you" you could be with a few deft changes, tweaks and tucks... all necessary so that your "golden" years are even less demure (by a long shot) than your early days; that you don't just read your Browning -- "the best is yet to be" -but live him, with plenitude and a "hey, look me over" edge, your original and unique cocktail of defiance, insight, and allure. Step-dad Jack and the chocolate box. He was shrunken, smaller than he had been in life... in form that is, never in spirit. And he asked me --before "forever" took him -- for chocolates. He craved them. I didn't have to think twice about what to do. I was on the phone at once and ordered him an exuberant chocolate feast of Godiva's best, the kind of assortment that a boy bent on the delights of love gives to the girl he wants to wash his shirts and cheat on for life. Yes, it was that big. And when I called to make sure he had the package... I was informed this man I hardly knew... had the box open, a few already nibbled, sampled, so he could make the best selection. And he was smiling... But that's only a part of this tale... The instant she heard ol' Jack talking to me, my mother, that force of nature and approved behavior, grabbed the phone and Let Me Have It. Jack was ill, she said; Jack was dying, she said; Jack could die at any moment, she said, and face his Maker, as quick as you could say "Jack Robinson." What did I mean by giving him, and on his death bed, too, the rich seduction that was chocolate, a food that could not be found amidst his recommended dietary choices, unappetizing all. Why, didn't I know that could kill him....? Moreover, there was no mention in Emily Post sanctioning death-bed chocolates... and thus they could not be approved, unfitting objects as they were for such an event and its high mysteries and profound enigmas. "But POM (Poor Old Mother)", I said. His cancer is terminal, he could indeed die at any moment; every doctor said so, and at such a time if there's a dance in the old galoot yet he ought to dance it... he ought to have what he wanted, the savor of life, not another moment of the semblance of life, measured out by tea spoons of this medicine, tablets of that. In short he wanted, with an insistence http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 6 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation that comes when time is almost gone, one of life's pleasures, not another indication and token of life's finality. ... Jack died just hours later... ... POM became the Ice Queen to me for too long... But I was the gainer here... for Jack had reaffirmed a profound truth we cannot hear and contemplate often enough... that life is for the living, that life must be lived, exulted, extolled, celebrated and savored... and that at the end, if you want chocolates, the very best chocolates (or their equivalent) no one -- not even the well-meaning wife and scold -- should be allowed even a moment of jeremiad, pontification, finger-pointing and condescension... "Proper behavior" be damned.... Easy to say, difficult to do. Now, one can damn, and so easily, too, the bug-a-boo of "proper behavior", but the truth of the matter, an independent course is difficult to pull off. Witness my darlin' mama's frosty reaction on the matter of chocolates an instant prior to demise. We geriatric life-savors need to face up to the shibboleths and prejudices of our rigid adversaries... and become as shrewd as we are aged. Thus, start from the proposition that for the bulk of the world... but never for ones as wicked cool and winsome as we are, Age 65 is regarded as the gate through which one passes, inexorably, inevitably, slowly on account of rheumatism, arthritis and assembled other maladies attendant upon bigger and bigger birthdays; the gate through which we enter aging... through which we depart dead... truly an inviting scenario... if you're into the macabre pictures of Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516) and other mediaeval horrors. . But Hieronymus and his scarry ilk have never been my cup of tea, perhaps because of their unremitting focus on the darker side of life, its miseries, regrets, loneliness and angst about the eternity into which each of us must enter, like it or not. I am a creature of life and light... and aim to live my credo to the very last moment... for all that I may be able to do nothing more at that unique moment of finality than nibble a chocolate. Even that is enough to reaffirm my adamant belief in life, not life's restrictions. Yet these restrictions are everywhere, built into the very heart of our youth-centered culture. Folks over 65 are lesser beings, unable to do this, incapable of doing that; past it in ways as diverse as eating corn on the cob or satisfying even the least demanding of lovers. Even more than a baby (which after all does not know better) we are held thrall to the do-nots, the should-nots, the could-nots, instead of enjoying the thrills and growth of the why-nots. But we are not, we crew of 65 plus, babies to be protected and instructed. We are people who have lived life -- and often riotously too -- with gusto and a zest that only begins when you realize that the life force within you is not unlimited or inexhaustible. It is its very limitation that makes it precious... and which drives us to use it... all of it ... never letting a drop of it... any of it... drip away unused and unregarded. We know the pleasures of life... and intend to explore each and every one of them until the engine that drives our magnificent being can do absolutely nothing more. That's why I tell you this: Miss Waters sings her song not for you and me who seize and savor life. For we do not need to make changes... Rather, these changes must be made by the folks -- "age-ists" every one of them -- who want us to stop living before our time, pushing us out of life, anxious to get what we have had. These folks are in the business of denial, living to block us, restrict us and chide us for ideas, thoughts and actions they deem unsuitable to our age and station... They are the ones who would remove us from life, not help us engage it. http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 7 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation It is for these folks and their disapproval and disdain that Miss Waters sings her song, for they cannot be reminded often and enough... "You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone" ... Thus I shall live my life while there is a crumb yet to enjoy. And if that bothers you or anyone, get over it... and make the changes which must be made today... for you have far greater need for them than I do...

4 Tips for Choosing your Corner TV Furniture

When you purchase a house, you have no control over the make-up of the living room. You do not get to choose where the outlets or cables are, and you do not get to choose the layout of the room in conjunction with the rest of the home. Some people are going to need to stick their television in the corner of their living room to work around the design of their room. The layout of the room can make it nearly impossible to place the television elsewhere. While this may not be your ideal location for your television, it is still a viable and workable spot in your room. If you need to place your television in a corner, you need to find special corner TV furniture. These four tips will help you to choose the right corner furniture for your living room. 1. Measure your Room: The first thing that you need to do when planning your corner furniture is to measure your room. Measure the area of the corner that you would be willing to use for your furniture. While all corners are the same, you need to make sure that you understand how far out you would like the furniture to come from the corner. 2. Measure the Furniture Yourself If possible, measure the furniture yourself. While you may rely on the specifications given by the company, you may also want to be sure that the furniture is the exact size that it claims to be. The only way to do this is to go to a furniture store that has floor models for you to measure. 3. Check your Colors and Room Style Take note of the colors of your room and the style of the decor in your room. You should work to find furniture that matches the color and style of your living room. Remember, if you find furniture that you like that fails to match the colors of your room you can simply paint the furniture to match. 4. Check for Weight All pieces of furniture will have a weight limit that you should take note of. You want to make sure that the weight of your TV is not too much for the piece of furniture to handle. If you are placing your television in the corner or your room you need to make sure that you find furniture that fits the space. Rectangular furniture that fails to fit the space can give a cheap and unfinished look to your room. These four tips will help you to find the perfect furniture for your room. If you complete all of these tips, you will easily find the right furniture for your television. Your furniture search will be simple and easy, allowing you to enjoy the finished look of your room as quickly as possible.

Sugar, sugar, or how we're digging our own graves bite by bite. One man's helpful tips for saving your life... starting this very minute.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant. Author's program note. This is a broadside from a man whose once unhealthy life style can be glimpsed every single day, on every street, in every town, in every nation on Earth. This person was a textbook perfect example of how to destroy himself simply by opening mouth, shoveling in garbage, expanding waistline, and reaping the inevitable whirlwind that these days goes by the name of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. Let's call this man Jeffrey Lant... for that is his name... though it could very well have been your name, for all the multitude of bad nutritional, dietary, exercise and life style habits are very likely yours. And you know it. So to begin this article I want to ask each of you readers the question my long- time physician Dr. Joseph Zorn put to me the day many years ago he gave me notice that I had diabetes. "Do you want to die early?," he said. "Or do you want to die later?" When you first hear this question, you may suppose it is about death... the unwanted event that comes too soon for each of us no matter when it comes. However, in truth, this question, completely focusing attention, is about life, about deciding how much of it you can literally give yourself and what you will do to make sure you get every single minute of it you can. The question is about what you will do to stay alive, stay healthy, and garner maximum joy before the Grim Reaper takes you along with everybody else. Death, you see, is certain. Life is most assuredly not. My answer was resolute, resounding, and certain. "I choose life." Sugar, in all its manifestations, suddenly seemed less important than it had been just a moment before. Life, with all its myriad of cares, problems, troubles, and perplexities suddenly seemed very important to me... as I hope after reading this article it will seem to you... important enough to make some timely and fundamental changes... while you still can. Facts about diabetes. Diabetes is one of the first diseases we humans ever knew we had. It is first described in an Egyptian manuscript dating from 1500 BC. In that document it was called the "great emptying of the urine"; that being one of its tell-tale signs. All the great cultures thereafter -- the Greek, Roman, Indian, Chinese -- knew about it, described its symptoms, and faced its incurability... and its rarity. For it was in those early days uncommon, not least because folks got more exercise than they do now and ate less of the "junk food" that defines our supposedly smart society where we by the millions hourly do not just select but blissfully embrace the worst of all options; the option whereby we pay for our ever advancing death date. Uncommon no longer. If the essence of diabetes has not changed since Appollonius of Memphis first used the word in 230 BC, one thing is very different: the number of people who have this disease... and the even greater number projected to have it in the next few years. Globally as of 2010 it was estimated 285 million people had Type 2 diabetes. This is equivalent to about 6% of the world's adult population. This number is dramatically different from as recently as 1985 when it was estimated some 30 million people were affected. The projected increase over the next decade is even greater. As such the World Health Organization now calls this a global epidemic. I go even farther than that. When you consider that each affected individual will in time suffer from a string of disabilities and http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 10 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation disfigurements including blindness, cardiovascular effects and neurological problems and will lose up to ten years of either his or her already too brief life span, this situation is more than an epidemic. It is a tragedy, made worse by the knowledge that much of this pain and suffering is avoidable, inevitable only if we do nothing to save ourselves. One man's recommendations. I decided to write this article after my most recent series of tests, tests that provide a detailed snap shot of my individual situation. My results were the best ever: body mass index 24.57/kg (goal is 25 or less) LDL 53 (goal is less than 100) blood pressure 128/70 (goal is less than 130/80) And the big one, Hemoglobin A1C 6.7 (goal is less than 6). "Keep up the good work" Dr. Zorn wrote on my "report card"... and I felt a surge of achievement. I had chosen life when he asked me... these numbers checked every 6 months showed that I was serious about achieving this objective. The battle wasn't won yet... could not be won in the sense of complete and total eradication.... but progress, real progress, was being made. He told me I could feel a sense of pride... and I did! Now I wish to share with you key insights into how it happened and how you might do it. In sharing this intelligence with you I want you to know that I am not a physician, not an expert in diabetes, and I make absolutely no claim that if you do these things you will cure your diabetes. I simply want to tell you what worked for me, things that produced proven results, and which should be considered by other diabetics. What worked for me. 1) stop thinking in terms of sugars. Call it instead "battery acid." If someone told you your favorite drinks, your favorite cakes, the ice cream you love had battery acid in them that would corrode your insides, would you be quite as enthusiastic about gorging yourself on them at will? Your first objective is to persuade yourself that what you are eating is often poisonous for you. When you give up the sweetness of sugar and regard it as battery acid, you're on your way. 2) Don't worry about failure. Every diabetic since 1500 BC has had days when you are determined to eat the wrong things, in the wrong proportions. When you do this (because you will do this), don't beat yourself up and fall off the wagon. Simply resume your better habits as soon as possible. Do not use occasional lapses as an excuse for total failure. 3) Don't use food as merit pay or consolation prize. Far too many people are either using food when they don't get something they desire... or when they do. Instead of regarding food strictly as a nutritional matter, they use it whenever they want TLC, whenever they need to "feel good." 4) Substitute water for juice and even diet drinks. I used to hate drinking water; no flavor, no sugar high. I have made vast progress here... and so you will. One part of your diabetic solution is as near as your kitchen faucet. Think about it. 5) Eat 6-8 small "meals" during the day. Give up full meals. "Graze" instead. My "meals" nowadays consist of raw fruits, nuts, carrots and lots of other vegetables. (I particularly like celery). Except for the big holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas when I let myself go, I eat little and often, never feeling hungry and maintaining my good test results. 6) Eat what you want. Too many diabetics think in terms of deprivation rather than in terms of http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 11 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation 6) Eat what you want. Too many diabetics think in terms of deprivation rather than in terms of additional time on this planet for good behavior. Here is the key: eat what you want so that you don't feel like a prisoner in your own body. But NEVER gorge yourself on the battery acid foods. 7) Don't worry about losing weight. When I was first diagnosed as a diabetic I weighed in at an uncomfortable and dangerous 210 pounds. How did I lose the weight? Read 1-6 above. Your body knows your ideal weight and will move you in the right direction if you'll do your part. Thus without dieting a single hour, my weight went from chunky 210 to svelt 162. I actually get compliments now for looking good... and I am vane enough at 65 to enjoy them. 8) Walk. See the world. Increasing the exercise you do is crucial for yourself. Personally, I walk. And because I cannot just walk aimlessly, I walk to places where I have errands to do... or brainstorm articles I am working on. In other words, I don't just walk.... I think when I walk and kill two birds with one stone. I like that. 9) Keep your old clothes. Try them on. Try them out. I like to astonish my neighbors when I tell them the trousers I am wearing I wore in graduate school 40 years ago. They are always amazed... I like that, too. 10) Don't go into a frenzy about test strips and meters. I stopped taking my blood sugar years ago. You see, your body lets you know if you're eating sensibly and managing your condition properly. My sugar levels went down as soon as I stopped fretting and driving my stress level through the roof. Last Words. There was once a time when I considered my diabetes as a death sentence and acted accordingly. But that day is long gone. I am not, of course, jubilant about having this disease, but I am no longer dismayed or hopeless. You see, I have a full life to live and I want back those precious days and hours diabetes holds in escrow for me. They are mine... and I intend, over time, to live them all, every single one. You need to make this vow, too... and keep it. "Short and sweet" is fine for letters, but will not do at all as a diagnosis for life. As I told you: I chose life that day of diagnosis many years ago. And I mean to have it, all of it! And so should you.... Final program note: for the music to accompany this article I have selected Wilson Pickett's bubblegum song "Sugar, sugar" first released in 1969. Go now to any search engine to find it. Remember, if you keep your sugar usage to peppy lyrics you'll live longer... and dance better! "Sugar, Sugar/ Ah honey, honey/ You are my candy girl / And you got me wanting you."

Committed Relationship-There Comes A Time When You Need More

Dating can be a wonderful experience, but there comes a point where you need something more. What you need is a committed relationship. But how do you know if you are with the right person now (assuming you are already dating), or if you should try looking for somebody else? The first thing you need to do is look at things objectively. You have to do your best to take the emotion out of it and use a logical approach to your desire for a committed relationship. That means you have to ask yourself if you are actually looking for commitment, or if you are looking for something else. As long as you are being honest with yourself there are no wrong answers. Okay, so you have decided you really want to be in a committed relationship, but there are still a few more things to do. Decide what you want from the relationship - Knowing what you want will help you to find the right person to be committed to. Again, the key is to be honest with yourself. If you are looking for someone to give you financial security, then say so; if you want someone to make you feel special, then say so. At the same time, you should also think about what you can offer to your partner. It wouldn't be fair for only one of you to give their all while the other one takes, so be sure to think about what you are adding to the relationship. Assess your current relationship - If you are currently in a relationship, then you need to take a close look at your partner to see if they can provide the things you want (and if you can provide the things they want). Nobody is perfect, so you have to be willing to accept your partner for who they are, not who you want them to be. The only thing that you are trying to change is the level of commitment in your relationship. Talk to your partner about being in a committed relationship - Let's face it, commitment scares some people, but you still need to have a discussion with your partner. This is an important topic, and one where assumptions usually do more harm than good. You know your partner best, so you'll have to decide what the best method is for bringing it up. Be sure to discuss the subject in a way that is calm, respectful and sincere. Make changes, if needed - If your partner isn't quite ready to be in a committed relationship, then you have three basic choices. 1) Ignore it and be trapped in a non-committed relationship, 2) give them a bit more time, 3) break up and move on with your life. Which option is best will depend on you and your situation. However, you do need to make a decision and then proceed from there.

'And a single ray of sunlight/ Reaches down to touch the golden boy.' Another university, another day, another sex scandal, all because boys will be boys.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant Author's program note. You're beautiful. You're young. You've got hormones to die for... and you know how to move a puck, no one better... one with the swiftly moving hard disk.... skating like God Himself... dazzling... thrilling... the crowd on its feet for you, always on its feet for you. And in the adoration of multitudes you know nirvana... You are the hero... and everything, everyone is yours. "He can see the goalkeeper's eyes/ There's a magic to his feet." Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians, with their inimitable 1920s sound, had the first crack at a tune that summarized everything you need to know about adulation, America, and the big game. It was called "You've Got To Be A Football Hero"; its punch line, "to get along with the beautiful girls". Written in 1933 by Al Sherman, Buddy Fields, and Al Lewis it's the most widely recorded and performed American football anthem of all time. Warring's version is prime; Tuxedo Junction's much later 1970s version is sultry, seductive... and of course Olive Oyl in the 1935 cartoon film "Popeye" does what girls are supposed to do when confronted with so much eye-popping male pulchritude... she ogles, she pinches, she's his. The song, which you can find in any search engine and which you should hear before proceeding, is obviously for the gridiron, but its deeper message pertains to any sport; like hockey, the subject of today's newest scandal. For every sport idolizes the glorious life of the hero... so fast-moving, raucous in its manifestations, lyric in its language of physical perfection. We would all like to be this hero, to get along with the beautiful girls. But if we cannot be that hero, we want to be as close as possible to his sublime perfection... and to get this thing of such acute desire, we would give anything, everything; our love, our soul, our self esteem, our body. And therein lies the rub... Boston University, a tale of hockey, seamy, meretricious, riveting, delicious. The problem with humans and our culture is that the absolute certainties of yesterday become, in due course, the rudely derided and debunked falsities of tomorrow. In the process fortunes are made, fortunes are lost. Nimble footwork, a golden tongue, and the luck of the Irish are necessary to avoid being crushed and cast out with the much valued cultural bearings in which we once believed but believe no longer. But changing from one set of values, one set of cultural absolutes to another is not a crisp, efficient business. Oh, no. It's messy indeed, not least because many adherents of the old regime, the regime being displaced, refuse to go gentle into this good night. They like the verities of old.... and will do what's necessary to maintain them, for to give them up would be to give up on a hearty measure of life's deep joys... and that is unbearable. Thus what once was public and done in the light to save itself now takes place in utmost privacy and unannounced, secret, discrete, known only to the cognoscenti and loyal. It is an imperfect system... but better than losing the complete happiness of their greatest bliss.

LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation Wednesday, September 5, 2012 Boston University released the details in the latest of our fast-lengthening list of collegiate pranks, hijinx and luridities, the must-read details of sexual debaucheries. Painful though it must be, even the most prim, proper and chaste must read these details; purely in the interests of science of course and to know the facts, ma'am, and nothing but the facts. Prurience has no place amongst these researches; they are undertaken only to understand the lubricious evil which must, and not a day too soon, be cleansed from our once pristine and Godly land. And so the cultural teeter-totter moves up daily up and down. Those in the saddle have their way and so affront, insult and outrage those who, in the fullness of time and political wiles, move up and, having achieved their moment in the sun, proceed to affront, insult and outrage the very people who were just moments ago affronting, insulting and outraging them. Both sides use the unyielding language of profound morality. Neither gives quarter to the other; neither expects to be given such quarter. Internecine cultural wars are always the most ferociously fought, for those in control know what they must give up if they fail; while those striving for control are empowered by the sweet privileges and entitlements of victory to come and the heady delights of recrimination, retribution and revenge. Nudity on ice; a memorable party at Agganis Arena. Dear friend, neither you nor I was invited, and to admit this is most galling, so we recall with particular distress and mortification a late night 2009 NCAA championship party. Here dozens of the buff and beautiful (and the hangers on who dote upon them) drank from kegs in the locker room showers and took to the ice naked as God made them to do what God so enabled them to do better than anyone alive, to shoot pucks. Of course girls were present and of course there were peccadillos and rampant indiscretions, up to and including what 18th century gentlemen accounted the "last favors", though it must be admitted the asking and granting of such favors was done with the most coarse and inelegant language and in such conspicuous places as the nets where the team's ability to score was already notorious. Oh, yes, what a grand party.... Only the right people were invited, in the know, and this did not include campus police, BU administrators, trustees or One World pinko Communists. These and all the less talented students were firmly kept in the dark and so came to learn, too late, the shocking details of the Best Party Ever held in Greater Boston. Even celebrated hockey coach Jack Parker was not in the know, although this did not protect him from widespread criticism. Why didn't he know and take appropriate action.? Thus was a thorough investigation launched and its instigators found to their horror and dismay that boys with sublime gifts, including the gift of victory, having been catered and kow-towed to by all from the first minute this talent was observed had come to see themselves as God's gift to the world... acting accordingly at all times and in every situation. Thus did indulging these paragons became the part and joy of all, while the gods of ice enjoyed it all and fervently, not least from the painful recognition that their time in the sun would be brief indeed, as it always is. And this is God's exquisite punishment, given only to those who dared approach in their sublimity and awe to His perfection, succeeding for a moment, forced to the bittersweet remembrance for the rest of life. Can't wait for God's punishment. But, of course, the moralists in power for the moment would not wait for God's good judgement. They needed their sanctions and penalties to be savored and set at once. And so a great report was http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 15 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation created; 11 pages of charges, evidences and explicit details Item: How the boys assaulted co-eds with impunity. Item: How a "celebrity culture" around the team had fueled a "permissive attitude of sexual entitlement" among players. Item: How supervision of the players too often fell to the coaching staff rather than to university administrators, and how these coaches cared for one thing and one thing only: victory, great victory, stupendous victory. Item: How the team's star culture is "actively supported by a small subset" of undergraduates, including women who pursue players romantically and do whatever it takes to please them. Item: How players are allowed to compete despite dismal academic records and constant coddling on the active principal that gods don't need degrees, when they have everything else. After exhumation, promises, and tardy pledges things will improve. Now an abashed administration, red-faced and apologetic, headed by Boston University president Robert Brown is bending over backwards to make amends to the outraged, the politically correct, and those who have waited a lifetime to rein in the randy ice kings and their thoughtless regime and animal behaviors. Will this solve the problem? Doubtful. It may quell it, diminish it, take off the immediate edge and lower current outrage. But as long as the beautiful girls like the agile celebrities of ice and turf, there can never be a "final solution." And that's why I propose to go to any search engine and hear Fred Waring's great song again and again. For this is as close as I shall ever be of becoming a football hero or anything like it. It'll just have to do.

Make Up For Dark Circles-Tips To Cover Them Up

Make up for dark circles usually comes in the form of some sort of concealer. Concealers come in any number of shades and you should choose carefully so you do not actually make the matter worse than it already is. There are some other tricks you can use to brighten up the rest of your face, as well. There are several reasons a woman may need to start using make up for dark circles not the least of which is just her age. Other reasons include; allergies, sinus congestion, too much or too little sleep among others. No matter the reason, there are a variety of makeup tricks that can virtually make them disappear. Choose a concealer carefully: 1. Stop at a cosmetics counter at a store at the mall and ask for their advice on which concealer would work best for you. You can try different types of concealers before settling on a purchase. Try out different shades so you get to match your skin tone as closely as possible. 2. There are different shades for different color "bags". A yellowish tinted concealer will hide dark purple ones, an orange tinted concealer will hide bluish ones and, blue, mauve, or tan tinted concealers will hide brownish ones. There are even green and light blue tinted concealers to hide red under eye ones. 3. Choose a lightweight but creamy concealer. The concealer should glide on smoothly, but not be greasy, and not require a lot of rubbing to apply. Do your self a favor and train yourself to not rub your eyes, no matter how tired they get, this can exacerbate the situation and actually cause the areas under your eyes to remain reddened for some time. 4. While you are at the cosmetics counter, after each application of a different color concealer, move away from the counter, but make sure you can still see in the mirror, and check how the concealer looks under more natural lights. Cosmetics counters are lit in a way to make everyone look as good as possible. The goal here is to make sure that your "bags" aren't noticeable under normal lighting conditions. How to apply your new concealer: 1. Apply your normal foundation to even out your complexion. Smooth it out as you normally would, without paying any special attention to under the eye. Once your foundation is in place, you should be able to clearly see the dark circles that you need to conceal. 2. Use your new concealer under your eyes applying it in a thin, even coat. Use either an applicator sponge or by pat it on with your finger. Fingers work the best because you have a little more control. Once the concealer is on then go ahead and cover it with some of your foundation. 3. Pay attention to the area where your eye meets the bridge of your nose as this area tends to be the darkest on most people. You should now be able to look in the mirror and like what you see. Remember these tips regarding make up for dark circles and they should no longer be a source of stress for you.

Male Pattern Baldness - Causes, Symptoms Treatment

Androgenetic alopecia, better known as male pattern baldness, is a fact of life for millions of men. The most common type of hair loss for men, it is best identified as a pattern of receding hairline and hair thinning on the crown. It is estimated to affect 90 percent of men by the age of 50 as a consequence of hormonal function and genetics. Many different treatments exist to combat pattern baldness, including medicines such as finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine) and procedures such as hair transplantation. More than ever before, men with male pattern baldness are seeking out companies such as Bosley to perform hair transplant procedures for a permanent restoration of their natural hairlines. Causes Male pattern baldness is related to hormones called androgens, specifically an androgen called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It attaches to receptor cells on the scalp and hair follicles, interrupting and interacting with the normal mechanics involved with continual, healthy hair growth. Men whom display male pattern baldness typically have lower levels testosterone, but a proportionately higher level of DHT in their body. Other factors such as lifestyle factors and terminal illness may cause hair loss as well. Symptoms The most notable symptom of the onset of male pattern baldness is hair loss along the hairline that gradually recedes into an ?M? shape. The hair at the crown begins to thin, eventually meeting the receding hairline and creating a horseshoe pattern of hair around the sides of the head. Male pattern baldness is typically diagnosed by the appearance of this pattern. Other diseases such as alopecia areata or folliculitis may cause dissimilar balding patterns and should not be diagnosed as male pattern baldness. Treatment Medicinal treatments for male pattern baldness include Propecia and Rogaine. Both are more successful at slowing hair loss than exhibiting new hair growth. Needless to say, unlike hair transplantation as offered by companies like Bosley, no medicinal treatment is a permanent solution for male pattern baldness. Of the two, Propecia is most successful with male pattern baldness as it inhibits the growth of DHT androgens. Take a look at the Propecia and Rogaine sections on BattleAgainstBald.com to learn more about how the treatments work and their effectiveness. Hair transplantation is very effective at treating male pattern baldness. Since hair follicles from the side and back of the head are resistant to the DHT androgens, hair simply must be transplanted from healthy parts of the scalp to the affected areas. The surgery has become increasingly popular in the last few years. Since 2004, there has been a 34% increase in hair transplant procedures, according to a survey conducted by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS). The increase is a result of an increase in effectiveness of the procedure and the natural results it yields. In 2006-2010, approximately 87% of hair restoration surgeries were for patients with pattern baldness. F. Ex. Bosley Medical has performed over 200,000 of such procedures, making it one of the most reputable resources for victims of male pattern baldness to seek treatment.

Mary Kay And Generations Of Makeup

If you are interested in Mary Kay and generations of makeup parties, you can make quite a bit of money to supplement your income or do it as a full-time business. You may have been invited to one of these parties by one of your friends or family members already and just need a little more information to get started. Some questions you may have about starting your own business may include: How much money will you need to get started? What supplies do you need to make your parties successful? And what kind of training do you get? To get a good idea of what you will get and what is expected of a consultant, you might just want to host a party or two to see what the consultant does and is responsible for. Skin care parties can be hosted for many different reasons including girls' night out, baby showers, birthday parties, and bachelorette parties. Or, you could include a wine and cheese tasting to make things a little more interesting. The best way to begin is to call a consultant and tell her you are interested in hosting a party at your house. Ask how long the party will last and what is expected of you. She will explain everything to you and might even want to meet you in person before the date of the party arrives. Ask if you should serve appetizers. Appetizers are a great idea if the party is going to last between two and three hours. Things like cheeses and crackers, or vegetables and dip, or a fresh fruit platter will do nicely. Don't forget to have plenty of beverages and throw away plates, napkins, and utensils on hand as well. Set up one table in the room where the demonstration will take place, and another close by for refreshments. Decorations are not necessary unless you are planning the demonstration around one of the party themes listed earlier. Then just base the decorations on the theme of the party. Invitations can be as simple as sending an email to all of your friends and family members or doing it the old-fashioned way and hand-writing invitation cards and mailing them out. Invitations should include necessary details such as date, time, location, and RSVP telephone number. Include any other relevant details such as attire, what to bring, and special requests. Usually, a demonstration includes cleansing the face, moisturizing, and then applying make up. Ask if there will be more involved things like manicures and/or pedicures and what you will need if these types of demonstrations are included. The consultant should provide all of the skin care products needed for the number of people at the party, so make sure you have a correct count of your guests. When the consultant arrives, give her some time and let her get set up on the table for the demonstration. Make sure there is room for the Mary Kay and generations of makeup catalog, products that will be featured, samples, and any instruction manuals she has brought along, not to mention room for your guests.

Men And Botox-Males Need The Nice Face

It is a long standing stereotype that women love to pretty themselves up while guys will just throw on a t-shirt and jeans and be on their way. While this stereotype does have merit, it is not as solid as one may think. Even men care about their appearance. They may show this care in a different way then women do, but they do still very much care. It is because of this desire to look good and attractive that cause so many men to hit the gym all the time. But one thing more and more men are starting to realize is that women do not just want a guy with a nice body, but a nice face as well. What I mean by this is that some guys will have a lot of lines and wrinkles, which can detract from their overall attractiveness. This is why Men and Botox are starting to come together. In the past, men did not like to use cosmetic things because it would make them feel overly feminine, like it was a womans thing. This feeling is still very much true, which is why you do not see many guys getting manicures. But when it comes to botox, this is something even men are starting to make use of. Botox is a great way for a man to remove those pesky wrinkles and lines from his face, giving him a softer, more youthful appearance to go with that physique he has been working on. It has very little to do with typical woman's products and as such it is becoming more widely acceptable for men to make use of it. Men and Botox may be becoming more popular, but there are still many who hold reservations. They are still afraid that it is a bit too feminine for their tastes and it makes them uncomfortable. This is why a common question asked by potential botox users is just how many guys actually use botox. Safe to say, thousands, if not millions of men use botox to regain their youthful appearance. Even more men are starting to use it as well, making that number go even higher as the days roll by. While men are starting to accept botox as being on the same level as working out at the gym (By that I mean, something both men and women can do) they might also be wary of the potential risks. Using treatments like this are fairly foreign and so it should come as no surprise why some guys would have some reservations. Botox does have side effects, but for the most part they are mild and diminish rapidly if you have them at all. In some rare cases more extreme side effects can occur, such as difficulty breathing or swallowing due to the way botox works. If you are a guy and are interesting in making use of botox, you should not feel any shame in your choice. As I said above, it is no different then hitting the gym, you are simply making yourself more attractive so that you can appeal to women more.

Natural Remedy For Dry Skin - Finding The Right Remedies For Your Dry Skin
There are a wide variety of different options that are available when it comes to finding the right natural remedy for dry skin. If you are dealing with dry skin, then finding the right natural remedy is vitally important. It will help you overcome your dry skin, returning its natural moisture so that you can look and feel younger. There are a number of natural remedies listed below for dry skin. Try combining different natural remedies for dry skin until you find the combination that is going to meet your needs the best. - * You can try mashing up half of an avocado, mixing it together with a couple of drops worth of the juice from a fresh lime. Spread this well mixed paste over your recently cleansed skin. Allow it to remain on your skin for between 15 minutes and 20 minutes. You can wash your skin off alternately using cold water and warm water. This is an effective skin care home remedy for you to consider. - * Another excellent home remedy is for you simply to consider eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. This is because fruits and vegetables are often very rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin A, and both of these vitamins are especially helpful in keeping your skin feeling young, healthy and moisturized. - * When it comes to washing your face, if you want your face to be young feeling and moisturized, then you should be using mineral water rather than tap water because it puts more healthy minerals in your skin rather than taking minerals out. - * Here is another worthwhile natural remedy for dry skin: Try mixing between 2 tablespoons and 5 tablespoons worth of raw peanuts with milk and mash them together until you have crafted a fine paste. Now add in a teaspoon worth of raw honey into this mix. Apply the paste to your face and other places where your skin is dry and allow it to completely dry. Wash it off using cold water after it has completely dried. This is another excellent way to perk up dry skin. - * Before you go in for a bath, try adding between 5 drops and 6 drops worth of lavender oil or oat extract to your bath water. When your skin soaks up the water and becomes soft, it will also soak up the extracts or oils in order to improve upon your dry skin. - * Having a milk bath once every month is another excellent home remedy for dealing with dry skin that is well worth your consideration. You can try this more often if it seems to be having a positive effect on you. Try out different home remedies for your dry skin problems until you are properly satisfied with the results that you obtain. Experiment with different dry skin home remedies, and combine different remedies to create a dry skin care regimen that suits you.

Natural Therapy For Relief From Insomnia

Insomnia! Talk about an awful condition to be suffering from. Having a difficult time falling asleep or staying asleep happens to all of us on occasion, but when the problem doesn't go away or impacts life in a negative way, then getting it treated is a good idea. Natural therapy to relieve insomnia is often an ideal choice because you don't have to worry about relying on drugs, or getting addicted to them. Just to be clear, if your doctor has already prescribed something, you should continue taking it unless they advise you otherwise. Stopping medication without proper oversight can lead to even bigger problems. Meditation is one of the most natural ways to relax and get a good night of restful sleep. Try anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes of meditation just prior to bedtime. You will not only rid yourself of some of the stresses of the day, but you will also be putting your body into sleep mode. You can learn how to meditate on your own, or you can choose from any number of guided meditations for sleep. Many people have found that aromatherapy is useful tool for drifting off to sleep. Essential oils such as sandalwood and eucalyptus produce a calming effect that can relieve your insomnia. You can add it to warm bathwater shortly before bed, or put a few drops on a handkerchief that you place under your pillow. The key is to enjoy the aroma, but to not have it so strong that it becomes distracting. You can also combine aromatherapy and meditation for a one-two punch that will have you sleeping like a baby. If you aren't lactose intolerant, then you may try a glass of warm milk. Your grandparents probably used this remedy, and for good reason. Food and beverage plays a major role in your ability to sleep. Avoiding eating a heavy meal too close to bedtime, and don't eat anything that may give you heartburn. Many people like to have a bit of alcohol prior to retiring, but having a nightcap will actually contribute to sleeplessness. It's also a good idea to not drink too much water in the evening; otherwise you may have to get up in the middle of the night to relieve yourself. There are a few natural supplements that have been shown to help people beat insomnia. Valerian root seems to work by relaxing the central nervous system. Melatonin is naturally produced by your body, but it can also be purchased as a supplement. Melatonin is one of the most important chemicals for falling asleep, and a natural supplement of it may be just what you need. Having a regular schedule for sleeping will get your body used to falling asleep at a certain time. Be sure that you only use the bedroom for sleeping (no television, no eating, etc.), and that it is at a comfortable temperature. Combine these things with natural therapy to relieve insomnia and you will ultimately get a good night's sleep.

Natural Therapy To Relieve Insomnia

More and more people are searching for how to relieve insomnia. The inability to go to sleep and stay asleep is affecting more individuals every year, and there are hundreds of reasons why this happens. Insomnia is not considered to be a condition in and of itself; it is considered to be a symptom of something else. The problem is that doctors can?t always determine what is causing a person?s sleeplessness. Talk to Your Doctor Before you do anything to try and treat your sleeping problems, talk to your doctor about it. With a few tests they may be able to help you determine what is causing the problem and how you can relieve your insomnia. If not, find out if there is any reason why you shouldn?t try to treat it naturally at home. Melatonin and other Supplements The body naturally creates melatonin to make you sleepy. This process generally starts in the late evening, and this is one reason why having a regular time when you go to bed is important. Your body remembers when it should start creating this chemical, and helps you to go to sleep on time every night. Melatonin is made into pills that you can take if you want to ease yourself into sleep naturally. There are also herbs like Valerian Root that help people relieve their insomnia. While you shouldn?t use these too often, they are generally not habit forming. This makes them a better option than many sleeping pills. Tea You can also use teas made from herbs such as Valerian Root to soothe yourself and sleep. Passionflower, chamomile, and lavender are also popular tea options. Aromatherapy If you get a relaxing, soothing scent, aromatherapy can be a great help when you are trying to go to sleep. Tension and anxiety are some of the leading causes of sleeplessness and aromatherapy can help you to overcome these and relieve your insomnia. Get some high-quality essential oils and place a few drops on a handkerchief. Tucking this into your pillow case will give you the benefit of the smell without overwhelming you. Bathe Before Bed Taking a nice warm shower or bath before you go to bed can help you to sleep in a couple different ways. The warmth can help to relax your muscles, encouraging tension to ease away and helping you feel more ready to rest. Adding aroma to your bathroom gives you added help to relieve your insomnia. Try adding essential oils to your bathwater or lighting an aromatic candle in the room. Once you are out of the shower or bath your body temperature will begin to drop slowly back to normal. This will make you feel sleepy. Take advantage of this and get into bed. You may find it much easier to fall asleep as you cool off in the comfort of your bed. Check Your Bed Many people experience insomnia because their beds are uncomfortable. If it has been a long time since you turned or replaced your mattress, you may need to look into this option. http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 26 of 143

Natural Ways To Relieve A Headache

Sometimes it can be very frustrating trying to figure out how to relieve a headache. If you try painkillers and they don?t work, you may find yourself wondering if you just have to live with the pain. Or you may not want to take painkillers at all. No matter what, you need to gather some natural ways to alleviate your discomfort. Exercise Working out may not be the first thing to come to mind when you are in pain, but it can really help. Vigorous exercise may not be the answer, but a brisk walk may be just what you need. 30 minutes of walking will release plenty of endorphins, which are the body?s natural painkiller and will help you relieve your headache. Soon you may be rid of your headache, and can go back to your day. Diet You should look at your diet if you get headaches regularly. Some people just don?t get enough nutritious foods in their hectic schedule, and this can cause serious headaches. Sometimes migraines are caused by a lack of magnesium. By adding supplements and good food to your diet, you may be able to eliminate many of the headaches that disrupt your life. Aromatherapy Smell has amazing powers, especially when essential oils are used. If you are trying to relieve a headache there are a few different oils that you can try. Lavender is one of the most popular, along with sandalwood, eucalyptus, and peppermint. Using just a few drops in a compress can work wonders, or you can fill a room with relaxing scent with an aromatherapy candle. This can be especially helpful if you have tension headaches and just need to relax, but it will work for many types of headaches. The biggest thing is just to buy high quality essential oils. Cheap oils are made with poor ingredients, and can actually make your headaches worse. Massage Many people use massage to try and relieve a headache. It can be very effective if you know where to press. Tension headaches can be worked out with gentle pressure on tight muscles. Sinus headaches along with other types can be remedied by finding the right pressure points. Going to a masseuse is a great way to get just the right massage for what you need, but this can get very expensive. You can relieve your own headache with a little direction on where to place pressure. If you have someone to help, this is even better as it gives you the opportunity to relax as much as possible. Talk to a Doctor Don?t take any of this advice as a replacement for getting a diagnosis from your doctor. Any kind of chronic condition should be discussed with a medical professional to be sure that it isn?t something serious. But if it is something that your doctor feels you can treat on your own, you know you have plenty of natural remedies that you can use. When you are trying to relieve a headache, it may be tempting to just reach for painkillers. But there are many other, healthier options. Give these a try before taking pills, and your body will thank you in the long run. http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 28 of 143

Neck And Throat Muscles Show Age Faster-Exercising Them Can Help
Over time facial muscles lose elasticity creating wrinkles and age your appearance. Throat and neck muscles show age faster than the muscles on the face making it more challenging to treat those areas.

Excessive oil leads to problems such as frequent and severe acne outbreaks. There are a few lifestyle changes that might help you control the amount of oil on your skin and therefore reduce the number or severity of your acne breakouts. Here are some things to try: 1. While the oil and dirt on your skin don't directly cause acne they can clog your pores and contribute to an outbreak. It's therefore very important to keep your skin clean and dry as much as possible. 2. Use a mild soap and warm water to wash your face. Stay away from any product that has a lot of harsh chemicals or really hot water as these can cause irritation to your skin. 3. Stay away from any products that are oil based. The last thing you want to do is add oil to your already oily skin. 4. Never leave your makeup on all night. Also steer clear of any night creams or lotions that are heavy and may leave a greasy residue on your skin. 5. Do not underestimate the importance of a good diet. Remember good skin starts on the inside. If your body isn't receiving enough nutrients and hydration nothing will work as well as it should, including your skin. 6. De-stress your life.

Try to relax and unwind and keep your stress levels to a minimum. You've probably noticed a trend here, many of the points above have been recommended for overall health, not just healthy skin. That's because your body is a finely tuned machines and to get the most out of any one component you have to have the whole machine running smoothly.

Organic Green Tea

While they look and taste different, both black and green teas come from the same plant. The only difference among all true teas is how they are processed. For example, black tea is allowed to ferment, and it's the fermentation process that gives it its color. Organic green tree is harvested and then dried before fermentation can occur. One thing that surprises a lot of people is that many jurisdictions have no legal requirements for the use of the term 'organic'. That means you could be buying something that isn't organic at all, even though it is labeled as 'organic green tea'. It's possible that you are getting regular tea that was grown with the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Unfortunately, some manufacturers use the word 'organic' so they can charge more. Your best bet is to only purchase organic green tea from trusted sources. Another thing that helps is to read anything the company has to support its claim of being organic. You want tea that hasn't been treated with chemicals. The problem is that there can be trace amounts of these chemicals left on the tea leaves. You wouldn't want to drink a cup of pesticides, so why take chances having any on your tea? Organic green tea has the benefit of not being overly processed, and that traps in more of the leaves' nutrients. Many people also find the aroma and taste to be more pleasing than black tea, which is sharper. That being said, all tea is good for you in some way, so it is often just a matter of preference. However, there are some things to consider before choosing which type you want to drink. It just so happens that there are many health benefits to drinking green tea. Inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, burning fat, reducing cholesterol, regulating blood sugar levels, boosting metabolism, improved blot clotting and strengthening the immune system are just some of the health benefits that have been attributed to drinking green tea. You may have to skip drinking tea if you are sensitive to caffeine, or have a health condition that prevents you from drinking it. Other than that, green tea is generally recognized as safe and is consumed by people all around the world. It has also been enjoyed for centuries, and is engrained in the cultures of many countries. As long as you are drinking tea, it may as well be organic green tea. After all, you wouldn't want to take any chances of making your health worse by consuming unknown chemicals. Drinking tea the way nature intended makes the most sense, and will give you all of the benefits Mother Nature intended.

Physcian Approved Botox A Common Non Surgical Procedure

Physcian Approved Botox is one of the most common non-surgical cosmetic procedures out there. It is widely used by all sorts of people, from celebrities to normal people. While some of us may not like to admit it, as we get older our bodies start to show signs of aging, signs we want to get rid of. This is where botox comes in. It is an easy, simple and non-invasive procedure that can shore up your face and remove the various lines that come about due to age. Botox is primarily used in the face. When it was first approved for use it was used to get rid of the creases between your eyebrows, however it quickly became popular and now days it is used for all sorts of lines and wrinkles on your face. From crows feet to frown lines around the mouth. It is also used to help with non-cosmetic things as well, such as spasming muscles and poor eye coordination. The way botox works is that, as unnerving as it sounds, it actually paralyzes the muscles in your body. The reason things like wrinkles come about is because our muscles tense as we make various facial expressions, this takes it toll over the span of our lives. Botox temporarily paralyzes those muscles and allows them to relax, allowing your face to recover from the damage done throughout the years. However, even with Physcian Approved Botox the effects are only temporary. Because of the proteins used to make your muscles relax are absorbed into your body, they lose effectiveness. As such a botox treatment will only last for a few months, usually between three to six months. This is good in case you did not like it and do not want to be stuck with it, but it also means you will need routine injections to keep it up. That actually leads me into how the procedure is actually done. As I have mentioned above, botox treatments are not invasive in the least. There is no surgery involved or anything like that. A trained physician will mark your the areas on your face where you will be injected with the botox. They will then insert a very small needle and inject the botox so it can go to work. The procedure is pretty much painless and will only last for ten to twenty minutes. The time it takes to see the results can vary, some people see results within the first day while others take around a week. However soon after your injections you will notice a stark improvement to the skin on your face, those wrinkles will vanish seemingly overnight. Like with any medical procedure, there is a chance the injections can be done improperly. This is why you need a Physcian Approved Botox injection by someone certified to handle the procedure. As with any medical procedure you should talk to your doctor about all the risks and make sure you are fully aware of what you are getting into so you know you are making the right choice.

Plastic Surgery VS Botox -Simple Injections And No Recovery Time

Plastic surgery is an old and common practice of using surgery to alter ones appearance, typically into something more desirable. However, as common as it is, it is a highly invasive procedure that takes a long time and can leave you recuperating for months. So when it comes down to Plastic Surgery and Botox, botox is almost always the preferred procedure to retain that youthful look you have been searching for. The reason botox has been overtaking typical plastic surgery is really easy to understand. Whereas plastic surgery requires a surgeon to cut you open and make the changes, botox does not. Botox is just a simple injection and only takes ten to twenty minutes and off you go. It is fast, easy, and painless. So why spend thousands of dollars on an invasive, and risky operation when you can just get a simple injection that can make you look decades younger? It is because of this that botox is used world wide by millions of people. However botox is not without it's risks. While it is certainly safer then plastic surgery, it's side effects can cause you problems. For the most part, botox's side effects are mild and easily treated. Some of these side effects include droopy eyes, swelling around the injection sites and other mild irritants. But there are some more severe side effects that put Plastic Surgery and Botox on similar levels. For example, a botox treatment can make it difficult to swallow or breath. It could also spark a severe allergic reaction and pregnant women should never take it due to risk to the fetus. These side effects are something you should be well aware of before deciding whether or not to opt for botox treatments. Be sure to speak with your doctor and get the full details from a medical professional so that you know you are making an informed decision. If you choose to go ahead with the botox treatment, your doctor will probably tell you the same thing I am now, in that botox is safe and is performed countless times each year. Like any medical procedure the risks are there, but mitigated so it is not something you should panic about. If you are curious about what exactly botox does, then again you should ask your doctor. But in simple terms it is a toxin that paralyzes the muscles in your face. When injected, it will cause the muscles to relax thus allowing your face to go back to it's more youthful appearance. Over time the toxin will be absorbed into your body and the effects will wear off, thus requiring another injection. This could be a point in favor of plastic surgery when it comes between Plastic Surgery and Botox, since plastic surgery is permanent whereas botox requires routine injections. That can also be a point for botox, though, since if you do not like it you can wait for the effects to wear off and never bother with it again. All in all, if you are interested in using botox to firm up your face then be aware that millions of people use it without a hitch, and it is a far better option then plastic surgery.

Pressure Points To Relieve Headaches

Medication isn't always the best option for getting rid of headache pain. Sometimes you won't have the pain reliever on hand, other times it won't work, and there is also the possibility that you don't like the idea of using drugs to treat your ailments. Pressure points to relieve headaches let you get rid of the pain without relying on drugs. It's not entirely understood how these pressure points work, but that doesn't matter. The only thing you care about is that they can work. While they won't always bring the relief you need, they work often enough to be useful. The best part is that they are a completely natural alternative to medicinal pain relievers. If your headaches are not easily controlled, are new, or are stronger than usual, then see your doctor. While the chances are small, it's possible that you have a much more serious condition that requires professional medical attention. Also, this article is not meant to be taken as medical advice of any kind; you can only get that from a qualified doctor. Here are a few of the best pressure points to relieve headaches: 1. Your temples - Use two fingers from each hand and make a gentle, circular motion. Don't press too hard, as the temples can be sensitive. Try doing this for 30 to 60 seconds, and then take a short break before doing it again. 2. The bridge of your nose - At the inside of the top of your nose where your eyebrows meet are some very effective pressure points. Simply massage the area with your fingers, applying a fair amount of pressure. 3. Your hairline - To be precise, the pressure points run along the front portion of where the hairline should be. If you have a receding hairline or are bald then you need to imagine where the hairline is. A circular massaging motion using the heel of your hand should help to ease the pain of most types of headaches. 4. Between your index finger and thumb - Here you will find a fold of skin. Pinch it firmly and then rub it. Do this for 30 to 60 seconds on one hand, and then switch to the other. You can also try using some padding and a clothespin, though that can be a bit painful for some people. 5. The shoulder blades - Most people tend to go right for the tops of the shoulders, and that can help, but one of the best pressure points to relieve headaches is found: approximately one-half of the distance between your head and the outside of your shoulders. Using pressure points to relieve headaches means that you don't have to rely on medication or questionable treatments ever again. Instead, you can simply use your favorite pressure point whenever the pain in your head starts, and massage your way to relief. You will always have a way of treating headaches, no matter where you go.

Questions Relationship
If your relationship needs work and you have questions relationship counseling may be able to help. Before we get into all that though, take a minute and read this article. I will give you some tips on how to improve your relationship. The first thing I can tell you is the two of you need to sit down together and talk. Make an appointment with each other if you have to and do it when you will both be home and can take an hour, or maybe two, with nothing else on your plate. Give each other your undivided attention so you can work everything out. Send the kids out with grandma and grandpa for the evening. Start by making a pact that neither of you is allowed to get mad at what is presented at this meeting. Now, each of you list what you each think is good about your relationship and what things could use some work. Make this list as complete as possible but don't get caught up in the minutia. You do not have all night and need to try to get at least some of the questions relationship answered. Beside each item on the list under the heading 'improvement needed', come up with ways to make each item listed better or go away all together. Be creative with your ideas, if you both end up laughing during this session so much the better. Make a commitment to each other that you will both do everything you can to make your relationship a better one. This is the first step in relearning how to work together on your relationship and before you know it everyone concerned will be happier than they have been in a long time. Even your kids will notice a difference in how you are reacting to one another. Get back to doing little things for each other again. When was the last time you wrote him a note and put it in his lunch or you told her she was the love of your life? It is just too bad that we all get complacent and stop doing the things that make relationships special when they were all brand new and we are just getting to know one another. If that love is still there, then there is hope for the two of you and your relationship. If you do not already have one, choose one night of the week for a date night. Go to your favorite restaurant each week or make it a little more interesting and adventurous and choose a different place each week. It doesn't matter where you go just as long as you keep talking and keep the relationship fresh and exciting. Along with these tips, it couldn't hurt to check into seeing a relationship counselor. Someone well versed in helping couples stay together by putting their relationship back together when it starts to crumble may help. Where there is love there is always hope. If there are issues that the two of you cannot work out by yourselves this is the best option to make things better. A good counselor will work with both of you, separately and together, to come up with ways to compromise that are acceptable to each of you. If lack of communication is an issue in your relationship the counselor can show you better ways to communicate with each other and give you exercises to do at home so you can practice. No one is born knowing how to communicate effectively, you have to learn it. So do not feel bad by having to ask for help if your questions relationship need answered, feel good that your marriage will not become just another statistic.

Remedy For Dry Skin - Overcome Your Dry Skin

Finding the right remedy for dry skin can be vitally important if you are dealing with uncomfortable and itchy dry skin. Dealing with dry skin is not impossible because there are a wide variety of different home remedies for you to choose from. Combine the following skin care methods in different ways until you find a mix that works well for you. Each remedy for dry skin is going to benefit your skin in different ways. Creating a combination that works well for you is the best way to ensure that you get the most out of your dry skin regimen. - * You can take advantage of the healing benefits of oatmeal when it comes to treating dry or damaged skin. Oatmeal offers some truly skin soothing effects that were first discovered more than 4,000 years ago. Many people are just beginning to understand these benefits because when you put oatmeal in your bath it is capable of behaving as a soothing agent. You can pour approximately 2 cups woth of colloidal oatmeal such as Aveeno into a bathtub full of lukewarm water. Colloidal means that the oatmeal has been converted into a fine powder that will suspend in the water rather thank sinking into the bottom of the tub. You can use oatmeal as if it were a soap substitute, for example. Tie a little bit of colloidal oatmeal into a washcloth or handkerchief, then dunk it in the water, squeeze the excess water out and then use it just like you would use a typical washcloth for a nice soothing effect. - * You should also choose soaps that are superfatted. Most types of soap contain a material called lye in them, and while it is great for the process of cleaning, it is also very irritating when your skin is already dry. It is recommended, then, that you avoid strong types of soap like Ivory or Dial in favor of a super fatted soap such as Dove, Neutrogena or Basis. These super fatted soaps contain extra amounts of fats like cold cream, coconut oil, cocoa butter and lanolin which are added to the soap mix during the manufacturing process. Products like Dove, for example, are not really actually soap at all. They are more like using a cold cream. There are trade offs to consider when it comes to choosing a product like this, as super fatted soaps do not tend to clean as well, but they are also far less irritating when it comes to washing dry skin, and this makes a real difference when it comes to remedying dry skin at home. You can overcome your dry skin issues when you use the right home remedies. Use the above remedies and other skin care remedies to restore health and beauty to your skin once more. Keep in mind that the skin care regimen for you will be different than for other people.

If you are buying for her make sure you 'get it' when it comes to how she feels about romance and what types of things are romantic to her. She may feel completely different than anyone else you have ever been with so do not make the mistake of going by what an ex girlfriend would have wanted. make the gift specific to who you are seeing now. The best way to figure out what someone wants and thinks is romantic is to listen to them when they talk about things they like and do not like. If this is still a bit complicated then do not be afraid to come right out and ask what types of things she considers romantic. She probably has a laundry list of things she would like to see you doing in the relationship to keep things spiced up. If you are buying for him then try to figure out what he likes and thinks is romantic. He may think you are trying to be romantic if you do something as simple as hand him a beer when he comes home from work. Some guys might be a little more sensitive than that but I was married to one of those guys so do not think I am being rude or mean, I lived it. Some other suggestions for gift for her would be buying her a bottle of her favorite cologne or perfume or maybe a new handbag she has been dying to own. Another great idea is to personally put together a gift basket with all of her favorite things in it. Buy a nice sized basket and fill it with soaps, candles, bath salts and bubble bath. Throw in a bottle of wine, a new wine glass, a book from her favorite author and maybe some chocolates so she can use all of those things to relax in a nice warm tub for hours while enjoying your gift to the fullest. Do the same for him only include his favorite after shave or cologne, maybe a new razor or shaver. Go all out and buy him the old-fashioned double edged razor or straight razor to learn to shave with. Some of the sets are pretty nice and include the shaving soap, brush and stand for the razor. Romantic gifts do not have to be hard, or intimidating, to shop for. As long as each gift you give comes from the heart then each gift will be received with appreciation and joy this holiday season.

Romantic Weekends- Location Location Location

Whether you are newly married, have been married for a long time, or are seriously dating someone special there are many ways to plan the perfect romantic weekend. Think about what the two of you like for starters. Do you like to find places that the two of you could be alone like in a tiki hut on a secluded beach? Or, do the two of you love the excitement and passion of a big city? Whichever the case there are plenty of places you can choose for your romantic weekend. There are three important words to keep in mind, location, location, location. Since you do not have a lot of time you do not want to spend all of your time getting to the place you want to go. So, make sure you choose a place that is only a short drive away or if the place you choose is a little further away that the plane ride will not take forever either. when you get to your hotel room, be sure to have brought things to personalize it and make it more cozy. Scented candles are a good thing to bring along. You probably already though to bring some sexy lingerie and hopefully there is a jacuzzi tub in the room so you two can take a nice warm bath together. Where you stay can be as important as anything else when getting away. Bed and breakfast's can be cozy and intimate but just make sure they offer everything you might need by way of quiet, intimate restaurants and whether or not you can stay the entire weekend in your room if you want to. Nothing can be more exciting than whisking your significant other away for the weekend as a surprise. Pack a bag for them and make arrangements to pick them up right after work. You can either be spontaneous and drive until you both find a good place to stop or you could have all the plans made in advance, it is entirely up to you. Tap into your creative side to find unique things to do on you weekend together. If you both like to cook or would like to know how to make specific dishes for cozy dinners at home then make your intimate weekend away a foodie weekend as well and take a cooking class together. Maybe you would both like to learn to scuba dive. Research online for scuba lessons and then make a reservation, take the short flight to the tropics and spend the weekend learning how to appreciate the ocean and all it holds. Then go out and have a nice quiet dinner to celebrate your success at learning something new. Be sure to plan your romantic weekend around what you both like to do or might like to try together. This is a time to be closer to each other not create more stress in your life. There will be enough of that to go around when you get home. Use this time to stay connected and rekindle your love for each other.

Rosacea Medicine Find What Might Help You

While the cause of rosacea is still not understood, and there is no cure for this skin disorder, rosacea medicine is abundant on the market. The condition itself consists of redness and/or bumps on the cheeks, nose, chin, and or forehead. Most experts agree that rosacea is not caused by bacteria, but antibiotics are often prescribed and do work because of their anti-inflammatory properties. There are also a great deal of natural treatments and therapies that have been studied and discussed in the rosacea circle. If you like only using homepathic aids, Emu oil; which comes from the back fat of an Emu.Is highly recommended by certain rosacea sufferers. It has both powerful ant-inflammatory and skin rejuvenating characteristics that are well-suited to treat all types of irritated skin. Pure Emu oil penetrates deep into the skin and mirrors the lipid profile of human skin, and it can be found in a non-pure state in soaps and moisturizers as well. Other natural ingredients that have been effective in combating rosacea include green tea extract, niacinamide, licorice, chrysanthellum indicum cream, and azelaic acid. On the pharmaceutical side of rosacea medicine, which, some would argue, is more effective when it comes to treating this distressing condition. A medicine under the name Sulfacet, with ten percent sodium sulfacetamide 10% and five percent sulfur has demonstrated good results in certain studies, with an 80 percent reduction in rosacea lesions, and a 69 percent reduction in redness. Oral antibiotics (of which doxycycline is the most recognized) have proven in trials that paients improved from 50 to 60 percent in lesions. However, it is recommended that the patient and doctor be in close contact and make sure to keep the therapy short-term, not exceeding a year. Metronidazole, known as MetroGel and MetroCream, is frequently prescribed. In studies of this topical antibiotic, results came up with a 72 percent decrease in rosacea lesions, and a 45 percent redness decrease. Benzaclin (a combination of benzoyl peroxide or benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin) has been shown to reduce lesions by 71.3 percent and a significant reduction in redness. Azelaic acid (Azelex) demonstrated a 73 percent reduction in rosacea lesions. Other important actions to take when it comes to treating your rosacea have to do with your lifestyle. Make sure that you wear sunscreen (Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are best-tolerated) at all times when outdoors. Limit your exposure to the sun, and overexertion in the hot and humid summer months, and keep your face protected in extremely cold and windy weather. Avoid all cleansing and moisturizing products that contain harsh ingredients such as alcohol, and you may also find that avoiding spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol will improve your condition, even if you are not taking a rosacea medicine.

Saving Marriage In A Culture Of Throw Away Relationships

How do you go about saving marriage in a culture which values throw away relationships? There was a time, not too long ago, that marriage was considered a lifetime commitment. While there were some downsides to this such as people having to endure a lifetime of physical and emotional abuse, there were also some benefits. Marriage was a serious endeavor. Marriage created stable families. It was the foundation of society. Now, every state except New York has some form of no fault divorce. If one spouse wants out, all he or she has to do is say the word. In most states, the partners are not even required to get counseling. How do you go about saving marriage in this kind of environment? First, you need to realize that a marriage can be saved, even if only one partner wants it. However, if you are the one who wants to save the marriage, you need to realize that you are going to have to do most of the work. I liken this to house cleaning. Single women do more house work than single men. That?s probably because women, in general, have a higher aversion to messiness. So, when people get married, the woman is more likely to do the bulk of the house work. That isn?t because it is her ?job.? It?s because she has the lower tolerance for the mess. So, if you are the one who wants to save the marriage, you are going to have to do the heavy lifting. Here?s how to go about saving marriage when yours is on the rocks: 1.) Recognize that your spouse had valid concerns when he or she asked for the divorce. Work on addressing those concerns. 2.) Know that your spouse has a lot invested in the relationship. Use that investment to rebuild the marriage. Your spouse will probably have second thoughts about leaving from time to time. Give him or her every reason to stay. 3.) Monitor your reaction. Too many times, the spouse who doesn?t want to leave will badger the divorcing spouse to talk about the issues in the relationship. But, sometimes your spouse needs emotional space. If this is the case, respect his or her wishes. 4.) Lower your expectations. Saving marriage requires that you don?t look for perfection in everything. If he or she has flaws, now is not the time to point them out. If they do things that get on your nerves, live with it. 5.) Have fun. Saving marriage is a serious business. But, if you make the repair process too intense, you will scare your spouse away. Instead, suggest that you together do the things you both find fun. When you can reconnect in the small ways, the big things will take care of themselves. Finally, recognize that we live in a culture where saving marriage is not considered sophisticated. But, you know deep down, that your marriage is the most important thing in your life and it is well worth saving.

Sciatica Pain Relief - Help For That Shooting Pain

Back pain is usually a big deal, but when it is accompanied with a numbness, tingling, weakness, or travels down your leg you might have a serious matter to take care of. Sciatica is a pain along the sciatic nerve. It is caused by pressure put on the sciatic nerve. Most cases aren't too serious and can clear up within a couple of months, but there is a chance that it could be the sign of a serious problem. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body. It starts branching off the nerve roots at the lower part of the spinal cord. There are two branches, each following down one leg traveling through the pelvis, buttocks, back of the leg, and down to the foot. Sciatica usually only happens on one side and is brought about by inflammation or compression on the nerve. There are also instances in which it is caused by nerve damage. Sciatica is not a disease. It is a symptom of another problem. For this reason, it is good to see a physician to have it checked out and diagnosed. It could be a pinched nerve or a herniated disk or it could be something worse. This is not meant to take the place of medical advice and should not be considered such. This is meant to supply you with more education about sciatica and help you know what might bring relief. One of the remedies that might help bring about sciatica pain relief is using anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen. These will help lessen the inflammation that might be firing up the sciatic nerve and causing you pain. Taking acetaminophen might help with the pain, but it won't help with the inflammation. Doctors may prescribe a corticosteroid injection into spinal fluid. This is a very powerful and effective anti-inflammatory medicine that will see quick and long lasting results. Exercise will help take some of the pressure off the sciatic nerve. It could very well be that extra weight that you are carrying around is adding extra pressure to the nerve. Exercise strengthens muscles, joints, and circulation. All of this will help the pain brought by sciatica. Check with the doctor before you start an exercise regimen if you are suffering from sciatica. It could be that there are exercises that you might do that will make the situation worse. Rest won't help you much in dealing with sciatica. It can actually make it worse. Massage therapy, especially involving heat, will provide immediate relief and comfort. Ice can help lessen the effect of acute attacks as can better posture. Using the right chair that pushes your stomach out and shoulders back will help a lot as will using a firm mattress. Make sure you avoid standing up or sitting down for long periods of time without a break. Also, avoid lifting heavy objects unless you take proper care in doing so using proper lifting techniques. Sciatica can be a pain that affects more than your back. Make sure that you address the cause and try these sciatica pain relief methods to see if one of them will help end that shooting pain.

Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief-Get It Fast

Few things are as painful as the searing pain associated with sciatica. If you suffer from this condition, all you really want is a surefire way to relieve sciatic nerve pain. The faster you can get relief, the better. Once you are stricken with the pain of a sciatic attack, you can't do much of anything and are temporarily disabled. In fact, it's quite common for people to freeze up in these situations, and they may completely incapable of moving. The following information will help you to understand the problem, and show you some ways to minimize the pain of sciatica. Your sciatic nerve travels from the base of the skull down to your feet, and happens to be the longest nerve in your body. Because it is so long, it is frequently under pressure or gets otherwise irritated. At times this may only lead to tingling or throbbing, and you can go about your normal routine. However, when the pressure on the nerve becomes too great, it can overwhelm you with pain. If this is something you have experienced more than once or twice, then you need to make an appointment with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. Many people find relief from sciatic nerve pain by taking anti-inflammatory medication each day. This prevents any pressure on the nerve that may be caused by surrounding tissues being inflamed. You may wish to try an over-the-counter medication, or you can have your doctor prescribe something for you. If you are having severe pain that is lasting for more than a day, then you can use this simple trick for easing the pain. Lie down with your back on a firm surface (the floor or a suitable mattress) and put a small pillow underneath your knees. This removes a great deal of pressure from the sciatic nerve, and allows the inflamed area to start healing. In fact, this position has long been the prescribed treatment for dealing with sciatica. However, it only brings temporary relief, but that's better than nothing when trying to get rid of the pain. Some people have found they can control their pain by using either cold or heat therapy. Which one is more effective will depend on what is causing the pain in the first place. Try one or the other and see how it feels, moving to the other method if needed. Having proper posture will keep everything in your body aligned, and that can reduce the chances of unnecessary pressure being placed upon the nerve. Sit with your back straight, as though your head is being pulled straight up by an invisible string. When walking, be careful that you are not hunched over. If you have fallen into a habit of sloppy posture, you will be amazed at how much of an improvement this tip will make. Trying to relieve sciatic nerve pain can take time, but keep trying. There is no reason that you should have to live with the pain. Once you find something that works you will feel a whole lot better.

Self Help Debt Reduction - You Can Do It

If you?re searching for debt reduction solutions, no doubt you?ve been inundated with advertisements for various debt management programs, companies and solutions. The truth is, there are plenty of self help debt reduction options you can use to get your financial situation back under control. While many of the advertisements you see encourage you to hand over the responsibility for your finances to other people, taking the difficult step of learning to manage your finances yourself can mean that you learn a valuable lesson. Once you?ve grasped the basics on your own, you?ll be in a much stronger financial position in that you?ll be less likely to get back into the same mess again in the future. Here are some basic self help debt reduction options you can use to get you started on the right track. Snapshot It?s important to have an accurate picture of your current financial situation before you embark on a self help debt reduction program. This means understanding exactly how much income is coming in and how much you pay out each month in expenses. Include all forms of income you receive and write this figure down. Your expenses list should include things like rent or mortgage payments, repayments on any other consumer debts, living expenses, utilities, fuel, groceries, school fees, and any other living expenses you have. Don?t forget to include the little items you buy, like magazines or lunches or coffee. They are still expenses too, so be honest about what you?re spending. Starting Point Write down your outstanding balances on all of your current debts. Include any unpaid bills in this amount and add up the totals. The total figure might look a little scary at first, but it?s important you know where you?re starting in order to create a plan of attack. Alongside each debt balance, write down the amount of interest you?re being charged and how much you?re paying each month on that debt. Plan of Attack Self help debt reduction works best when you create a plan specifically designed to work for your unique financial situation. Trying something that worked for a friend won?t necessarily work for you as your situation is not the same as theirs. Ideally, you should aim at reducing the debts with the highest interest charges on them. These are costing you the most money each month. If you can see anywhere at all in your current list of expenses where you might be able to save a couple of dollars each week, then you should immediately allocate those dollars into your debt reduction plan. You might want to consider the option of a debt consolidation loan to roll the balances of the high-interest debts into a loan with much lower interest costs. This can help reduce your monthly repayments and give you a little more free cash each month. Try to keep any smaller balances aside from the consolidation loan. The money you?re saving each month with your lower consolidation loan repayments should be put towards making extra payments on those smaller balances to get them cleared and out of the way quickly. http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 51 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation When these are under control, put that extra cash back into making some extra payments on your consolidation loan to help reduce that balance as quickly as possible. While self help debt reduction takes time, learning to take responsibility for your own financial situation can be a vital lesson to learn. After all, it took you time to get into debt so be patient while you spend some time getting back out of it again.

Senior Dating During The Holidays

Senior dating during the holidays may be a little more stressful for the older person but if you find someone you are compatible with then you should end up having quite a bit of fun. There are so many things that you can do over the holiday season you will not have any trouble finding things to enjoy together. Even if you just walk around the city or town you live in to look at all the lights that others have decorated their houses and yards with and end the evening with a nice cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows to warm up afterward. It is all in just being together during this special time of year. Senior dating during the holidays can be a magical time for both of you. I know there are places where you can make a reservation to take a carriage ride to look at the lights as well. Picture a not too cold, snowy evening, each of you bundled up, spent riding around the town in a buggy pulled by a horse. Nice! If you have been seeing each other for a while then why not volunteer your time and go help out at one of the homeless shelters in your area or donate some food to the food shelf in town. They always need donations and help packaging things up for others in need. If you are able-bodied, volunteer your time to deliver food and other supplies to those who need them. As long as you are spending time together you will be having fun. Help each other decorate for the holidays. Both of you probably have a tree that needs putting up and decorating. Alternate nights when you will help each other and decorate inside and out. I don't think too many people do this any more but you could round up a bunch of your friends and go out singing Christmas carols around your neighborhood then complete the night by going out to dinner. Spending time with friends is also important this time of year. Plan a Christmas party and incite everyone you know family and friends included. Decorate your house to the hilt and all in a caterer if you do not want to have to do all the work. Or, make it a potluck and ask your guests to all bring a dish to pass. Make a list of what is needed and let everyone sign up to bring everything including plates napkins, cups, and plastic utensils. Go down to the local park where they have an ice rink set up and watch the kids ice skating and playing hockey. If you are a risk taker, join in the fun and skate yourself.You may not have done it for years but remember the exhilaration of flying over the ice going as fast as your feet would take you? Maybe you can't go as fast as you once did but the fun is still there when you are senior dating during the holidays.

Sensitive Skin Care Products Can Help Or Not

If you are one of the millions of people who have sensitive skin you know how difficult everyday life can be. Even the simplest things, that other people wouldn't have a problem with, can cause your skin to erupt into rashy, itchy, and dry skin. There are sensitive skin care products types that you can get to help tame your overly sensitive skin. When you have sensitive skin it means that you have finely pored skin that can become inflamed fairly easily when it comes into contact with many common things. It could be something as simple as a strong wind that will set your skin on fire and make it very dry and scratchy feeling. Other common problems for anyone who has sensitive skin include cold, dust, heat, smoke, rough fabrics, lotions, perfumes, and even some beverages and food like caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. When you are exposed to these triggers your skin can become red, blotchy, or flaky. Not only are these reactions unattractive, they are also unpleasant and a little painful. Now that we've defined what sensitive skin is and what has a negative impact on it, it's time to move on to explore what you can do to prevent any flareups and keep your skin hydrated, healthy and smooth. One of the most common mistake made by people with sensitive skin is to grab for that store bought bottle of moisturizer when their skin starts to feel tight, and dry. That can be the wrong thing to do because more often than not these products contain harmful chemicals that are actually worse for your skin and will dry your skin out even more. They will feel good when you first put them on but over time you'll feel like you need to add more. The reality is that most of these products are so large at a molecular level that they just sit on the top layer of skin. Not only do they not hydrate the lower layers of skin they actually keep beneficial moisture from reaching the lower layers of skin thus making your skin even more dry than it was at the start! When you are buying products to use on your sensitive skin it's important that you pay close attention to the ingredients. My rule of thumb is if there are ingredients listed on the side of the bottle that I can't pronounce, I don't buy that product and instead get something else. You can also use other simple lifestyle changes to keep your skin healthy, such as limit your exposure to the sun, wear sunscreen and hats when outside, when it's cold always keep your face and hands covered with a scarf, don't take hot showers, and never sleep in your makeup. These simple tips combined with using the proper sensitive skin care product will go a long way to diminishing, or eliminating, the dry flaky, painful skin that sensitive skin sufferers have to deal with on a daily basis. You don't have to suffer anymore.

Serious Skin Care Products And What They Can Do For You
If you are looking for serious skin care products to help clear up acne or just make your skin look it's best, you'll be happy to know that you have many options to choose from. Today we have everything from lotions and creams, to somewhat more invasive techniques besides cosmetic surgery, all the way up to full surgical procedures. Many people would rather start with some more modest skin care regimes such as lotions and creams. This article will help you find the right skin care regimen for you and show you the best way to take care of your skin for a lifetime of beauty. One thing you cannot overlook is your diet. This may sound like an odd thing to talk about in an article about skin care but the reality is that good skin starts on the inside. If you aren't providing your body with the proper nutrition than there is no cream in the world that can give you healthy looking, glowing skin. Many people have heard that eating greasy foods can contribute to acne, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. It's not just about what you eat, but what you don't get enough of. Your diet should be filled with foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants which can stimulate collagen growth. You also want to make sure your body is properly hydrated. As with your diet, moisturizing your skin starts on the inside too. Don't forget about exercise. This too can help give your skin that healthy glow. Exercise will improve your cardiovascular system which will improve circulation and increase blood flow to every part of your body, including your skin. Now that you know that skin care stars on the inside it's time to concentrate on those things we need to do on the outside. Most people know that they should limit their time in the sun. If you have to be outdoors wear a hat and sunscreen. While many people think they look healthy with a tan, the reality is that you are causing serious damage to your skin. It's easy to ignore this since the damage won't show up for decades, but when you're 40 or so you'll be very glad you took care of your skin when you were younger. To properly care for your skin you have to use common sense when wearing makeup. You should never wear your makeup to bed. Sleeping with your makeup on for just one night ages your skin 7 days. That can really add up. Finding the right products to use on your skin is very important. If you want to only use the best products you should only use lotions that contain anti-oxidants. This will encourage the repair of free radicals. When you wash your face make sure to use a mild, preferably organic, cleanser. After you've washed your face make sure to apply moisturizer right away. I hope this article has shown you that serious skin care products are readily available and while they can make a difference they are just part of what it takes to keep your skin beautiful now, and in the future.

You know what kind of music she likes so buy the tickets and wrap them up in nice paper and put them under the tree. If concert tickets do not work either then maybe you could make her something if you are so inclined. A nice collage of pictures that you both took on that summer vacation you went on last year might just melt her heart at Christmastime. Put it all together and then get it framed by a professional to give it that extra special touch. If you are able to put a decent sentence together you might also want to include a little note or even a poem about the whole experience and how you feel being with her. Poems do not necessarily have to rhyme so just try to get some nice words down on paper and she will think you are the most romantic person she has ever met. See, shopping for the lady in your life isn't difficult at all. All you have to do is let her know that the gift you chose came from the heart and she will treasure it always.

Should You Open A Money Market Savings Account

The economy has really taken a lot of us on a ride recently. We are a nation of spenders, not savers, and that has really come back to bite many of us. The good news is that we can see this downturn as an opportunity to protect ourselves better in the future. Opening a money market savings account is a great first step to take. A money market account is similar to regular savings accounts. You deposit money in the bank and you earn a certain interest rate on that money for as long as it's there. You can withdraw it but you might lose some interest and/or have to pay some fees. It's not quite as easy to get to as a standard checking account, but it is still liquid. Having said that, there are some significant differences between a money market account and a 'regular' savings account. For one thing most money market accounts will require you to make a significant deposit in order to open the account. It can be as high as $1,000- $2,500. This will ensure you earn a higher interest rate, but for some people this amount is out of the question. Another difference is the ease of access to your money. Many regular savings accounts will offer you virtually unlimited access to your money, with a money market account you are generally limited to only a few withdrawals per month. Usually between 3 -6 . The good news is that many money market accounts will allow you to write up to 3 checks per month on your account. Whether you open a money market account with a bank or a credit union they are still protected by either FDIC (for banks) or NCUA (for credit unions). Before you open your account make sure to carefully go over all the details of your account, such as: 1) How is your interest calculated? 2) How much interest will you earn? 3) What is the minimum balance requirements? 4) How much will you pay to withdraw your money? 5) Are you limited to a certain number of withdrawals each month? Don't let this troubled economy sink your financial ship. Use this as an opportunity to get your finances in order; open a money market savings account so the next time the economy capsizes you will have a nice little life boat.

Simple And Fast Shingels Pain Relief

Shingles is a painful viral infection of the nerves that can leave you blistered and very sore. It comes from the same virus that chicken pox is from. If you had chicken pox as a child, you are susceptible to shingles. There is very little that you can do to predict when or if you are going to get it and finding how you actually get it is something of a mystery. Finding shingles pain relief can seem like a frustrating and anxious endeavor, but it can be done. While this article can help you understand shingles a little better and provide some options in treatments as well as managing the pain, it is not meant to be taken as medical advice. Shingles first shows up in the form of an itchy rash. Within a couple of days blisters will show up and make it even more itchy. Don't scratch them and don't pop them. Use an ice pack to bring quick comfort to the infected area. Also, be sure to limit skin contact with the blistered area as shingles is very contagious. Wash the area rubbing gently using soap and a cool cloth. It is important that you use cold water when treating shingles as warm and hot water will make it worse. Pat it dry gently. Take calamine lotion and treat it like a bad case of poison ivy. Make sure you cover it completely to help take care of the pain that comes from shingles. One thing that will help is taking a corn starch bath. Add a couple handfuls of corn starch to cool water and take a nice soothing bath. If you notice that any of the blisters get infected, then put hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and rub gently over the blister. Don't pop the blisters as this will only help to spread it and infect the blistered area. Stress is known to be a contributor to shingles and may help make it worse. Do what you can to relax yourself. If you know some relaxation and breathing techniques, then use them to help control the pain from shingles. Use loose clothing rather than tight, form fitting clothing as do what you can to keep cool and dry. If pain becomes unbearable, go see a doctor and have him help you find a treatment for you. Shingles could lead to nerve damage that is permanent and cause you pain for years. There are other options that you can use in dealing with shingles, but above all try to keep calm and be gentle in dealing with them. Shingles pain relief can be had, but it must be treated with care.

Simple Home Remedies for Gout Sufferers

Most people have heard of gout, but I suspect many don't know what it really is. Simply put, gout is a disease caused by excessive levels of uric acid in the blood-stream (hyperuricemia). Not everyone who has high levels of this acid their blood develops gout disease, but it does seem most do. Specifically, gout occurs when uric-acid crystals form around body joints like knees, fingers, elbows and especially big toes - in fact, for the vast majority of gout sufferers, the first sign of the disease is big toe pain! After salt-like crystals form, inflammation, tenderness, and even a reddish rash may occur around affected joints. The disease has been noted and documented since the time of Hippocrates. Traditionally, it's been associated with exuberant living - eating and drinking well. And there is some indirect evidence to support this. For example, a long-term study noted that heavy consumers of meat and sea food were much more likely to develop gout. Additionally, significant alcohol consumption, especially in the form of beer, is also known to increase the risk of gout development. Below are simple home remedies that may help to relieve pain and other symptoms linked to this sometimes debilitating disease. It's unlikely they will all work for or apply to you, so it may be worth experimenting with different remedies to find the ones that personally help alleviate your symptoms. * An old study supported by a recent one and significant amount of anecdotal stories suggest drinking cherry juice may help alleviate pain caused by uric-acid crystal formation. * Soaking the affected joint or joints in warm water, or having a warm bath, may also help. * Drinking plenty of water may help eliminate uric acid from the body. * Cutting back on alcohol and meat (especially red) consumption should reduce the level of digestive purines from which uric acid is formed. * If you're overweight, slowly losing weight may also help. * A recent study suggested taking vitamin C supplements may reduce the risk of gout attacks, so this is worth considering too. These are just some simple remedies that may help curb gout attacks.

Six Chronic Back Pain Relief Options

There are two types of pain that you will feel. One is a sharp and quick pain that comes and goes quickly known as acute pain. The other kind comes gradually and lasts for long periods of time known as chronic. While both types of pain can be debilitating, especially in the back, chronic can be the most frustrating to deal with. It can cripple you and keep you from enjoying the life you have. While there may be no sure cure for the chronic pain you endure, there are options in chronic back pain relief that may help. While you may find some methods and options that can help bring relief, this article is not meant to be taken as medical advice. For long lasting pain, you may want to have your family doctor make a diagnosis and prescribe a treatment plan to help manage the healing and pain. 1- Acupuncture has been known to help treat back pain for generations. Even though it is an ancient technique to help manage pain, it is still be used with frequency today. Many are able to manage their chronic back pain without medication while going through acupuncture. Be aware of how the needles are taken care of and make sure that all needles are accounted for and unbroken when removed from your body. If you use blood thinners, you may not want to use acupuncture. Acupuncture is believed to calm the nervous system while releasing chemicals in hormones that ill help heal the body. 2- Creams with Capsaicin. Capsaicin is derived from cayenne and red peppers and has anti-inflammatory properties. It also is able to trigger an almost soothing sensation that takes the pain away. It might burn a little upon applying so use sparingly at first. 3- Epsom Salt will help in maintaining normal nerve and muscle function. It can be absorbed through the skin and much relief can be found in having a hot bath with two cups of Epsom salt poured in. After soaking for about a half hour, you should feel good results. 4- Deep breathing will you gain control of your body and manage pain. It allows you a chance to divert your attention from the area that is causing you pain. The same principle that helps pregnant women in giving birth by concentrating their breathing and mind on something will help. It is really most helpful because it can be done any time and any place. 5- Deep muscle massage can help with chronic pain. It can also help reduce anxiety and depression that can accompany chronic back pain. 6- Chiropractic care can help manage chronic back pain. The spinal and joint manipulation helps to relieve pain as well as tight muscles, but it can also help bring about healing. Chronic back pain may knock you out for a little while, but there is little reason for it to knock you out completely. Although it may take a number of ways and strategies working in concert together, chronic back pain relief can be found.

Slowed Metabolism As Women Get Older- Creeping Scale Dial

OK, you are getting older and you are starting to see the dial on your scale creep up. You know it is not your fault, after all, we all know that slowed metabolism as women get older is something that just happens. Or is it? Is this an inevitable and irreversible side effect of getting older? Well, I'm not a doctor and I can't really say for sure but according to what I have read we don't necessarily have to expect to have slowed metabolism as women get older. As a matter of fact, from what I read, in some ways we are causing the problem ourselves! You see one of the biggest culprits of a slowing metabolism is the loss of lean muscle mass. As we age we stop being as active as we were when we were younger. As we become more sedentary the lean muscle mass in our bodies decreases thus slowing our metabolism. This issue is made worse when we start to see the numbers on the bathroom scale getting higher and higher. Many of us will then mistakenly try to cut down on our food intake. This only makes things worse because then our body thinks that it is starving so it shuts down as much as possible to conserve energy. Once that happens we are really heading in a downward spiral. We will continue to gain weight because our metabolism is slowing down so we panic and eat less thus slowing our metabolism down even more. The good news is that there are a few simple things you can do to combat this trend, it does not have to be an inevitable part of aging. Here are two of the best things you can do to reverse this trend and keep that trim figure you've had up until now: 1. Eat better. That can mean different things to different people. For some of you that will mean to eat less food in general. Some of you may need to cut way back on the amount of bad for you fast food that you eat. Others may just need to eat more "organic" types of food and steer clear of the overly processed foods. That may include those frozen "good for you" dinners. As a rule of thumb, anything that is already prepared is not that nutritious. You are almost always better off making all your food from scratch with natural, fresh ingredients. 2. Weight train. If you are wasting hours every week on the cardio machines at your local gym and not doing any weight training, you are wasting your time. You see endless cycles of cardio can actually burn off your lean muscle mass. Have you ever seen a long distance runner? They look almost emaciated, they sure don't look healthy. That is because they have very little lean muscle mass. To really increase your metabolism you should add as much lean muscle mass as possible. And for crying out loud ladies, don't fret about "bulking up". You can't. You don't have the right hormones to "accidentally" get big. Even if you really wanted to it would be a challenge for most women, you sure aren't going to do it accidentally. These are the best ways to combat slowed metabolism as women get older. http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 61 of 143

Social Anxiety Disorder - The Basics

Social anxiety disorder is also referred to as social phobia. This is an anxiety disorder in which a person is abnormally fearful of social situations. The anxiety and extreme self-consciousness come from the fear of being closely observed, judged, and/or criticized by others. Anyone with this type of disorder is afraid that he or she will do something to embarrass or humiliate her/him in front of others. A lack of social skills or not being used to social settings can make matters worse. Sometimes anxiety progresses into a panic attack. For these reasons, the person who suffers from this disorder will either be extremely ill-at-ease in any kind of social situation or will simply avoid them altogther. It's not uncommon for people who suffer from social anxiety disorder to also have what is called anticipatory anxiety. This is basically the fear that something will happen before it actually happens and it can start days or even weeks before a certain social situaion is to take place. Usually, the person who has these worries realizes that their fear is unreasonable, yet he/she is still unable to overcome it. This particular type of anxiety disorder distorts your way of thinking to incorporate false or extremely exaggerated beliefs about social settings in general and the negative opinions of others. Without treatment, social anxiety disorder can negatively interfere with the individual's normal daily routine, including school, work, social activities, and relationships. With a mild case of this disorder, the person may be afraid of a specific public situation, like having to give a presentation or speech. But in the majority of cases, the fear regards mulitple types of situations: eating or drinking in front of others, Writing or working in front of others, being the center of attention, interacting with people (including dating or going to parties), asking questions or giving answers in groups, Using public toilets, and even talking on the phone. Social anxiety disorder could be connected to other mental illnesses, such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression. In fact, many people with this condition first seek help with complaints related to these other disorders, not because of social anxiety symptoms. Tackling your anxiety alone may be difficult. If your anxiety begins to have the upper hand in your life, affecting the quality of your personal relationships or your productivity, you should probably consider talking to your doctor about treatment. He/She can discuss a variety of treatment options with you so that you can get your anxiety disorder under control and enjoy a higher quality of life overall. You may start with a medication that alters your brain chemistry to reduce many of the uncomfortable social anxiety disorder symptoms. In addition to this, doctors often prescribe blocks of psychotherapy with a professional who works with you to modify your thought processes that lead to the worry, stress and fear that often accompany anxiety. The above information does not substitute for medical advice given by a health professional.

Spiritual Abundance Are The Modern World Struggling

Many people in the modern world are struggling spiritually. To make matters worse, a high percentage of these people don't even know that they are lacking, they just know that something is missing from their lives. The fact that you are reading about spiritual abundance shows that you are aware of what's missing, and that's the first step to attaining more than enough spirituality. People have been struggling spiritually for nearly as long as they have been on Earth. They feel incomplete and are on a constant search for fulfillment. What they are really after is spiritual abundance. You are already on that path because you are interested in having that abundance. Everything is better when you have spiritual abundance--your relationships, your career, your finances, your health, and your emotions, to name a few. You will also have inner peace, confidence, love, gratitude, and a sense of being whole. These things sound odd to someone who is lacking spiritually, but it's vital to know that all of those things are yours if you want them strongly enough. While we are talking about spirituality, it should be mentioned that prosperity comes in many forms. However, and this is critical, all other forms of prosperity (material, financial, mental, health, etc.) are not enough to make you feel fulfilled. Chasing after those things may provide a temporary boost to your self-esteem, but then you have to chase after more. Does that mean you should stop chasing after those things? Not at all! What it means is that you must have spiritual abundance if you want everything else to be fulfilling. So, how do you create spiritual abundance? You need to decide what you consider the spiritual ideal, and then strive to achieve it. Some ways of doing this will vary depending upon what your spiritual beliefs are. However, most people will benefit from prayer and meditation, as well as learning more about what they believe in. Immersing yourself in external spirituality helps to train your mind to be receptive to a higher power. This refers to things like books, religious services, or anything else that comes from the outside. Some people believe that they can work hard enough to be rewarded by that power, while others believe that you cannot earn those rewards. Entire books have been written on just what each higher power does (or doesn't do) and what the particular rewards are. The more you immerse yourself, the more you are deprogramming all of the junk that has accumulated in your soul over the years. As the bad stuff goes out and the good stuff comes in, you will find that the external starts to become the internal. This is the stage where true spiritual abundance starts to be given to you. Finally, you should express gratitude for the spiritual gifts that are bestowed upon you. Use them to the best of your ability and make the most of them. After all, we are talking about spiritual abundance, and that means that there is more than enough to go around.

Starting Over With Retirement Plans

You know the saying about the best laid plans.... We often find ourselves at a point where things went wrong and we have to start over. Starting over with retirement plans doesn't have to be as difficult as you may have thought. If I could give anyone just one piece of advice when faced with starting over with retirement plans, it would be this: be an active participant in the process. I have recently found myself in a similar situation and the first thing I decided to do was gain some knowledge. You see, earlier in my life we had a pretty high six figure income and a fairly large investment portfolio. My husband basically handed over everything to an "expert" financial planner. This expert did ok, but nothing spectacular and I decided I wanted to learn more about how it all works so I didn't have to rely on someone else. Now, I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know the basics of investing and I have learned that much of what we are told about investing is actually not the best advice. Now I can sit down with my financial advisers and decide whether or not the information they are providing me makes sense or not. I have a friend who has lost a sizable portion of her investment portfolio over the last few years. Her "expert" recommended what many "experts" recommend when the market starts to tumble; just wait it out. They tell you that you can regain everything when the market rebounds. While that may be true, what they don't tell you is that when the market starts to get too overheated you can actually sell off many of your stocks and move that money to a safer investment. Doing that means that not only will you not have to wait years until the market rebounds and you can recoup what you've lost, you can also continue to make money during the down market! Doesn't that make more sense? To me it did. I sure never understood the idea of just keeping my money in a market that was crashing and plan on recouping my losses some day. I am extremely conservative in my investment strategy. I would rather sell off early, and possibly lose some profit, than get greedy and keep my money in too long and lose some. Again, I'm not an expert, but it's your money and one of the best things you can do for yourself and your future is to get a little bit of financial education so you can work with your planner. And before you hire a financial planner keep this in mind; if your financial planner is really so good at what they do, why don't they make their living with their own investments? Why work for someone else? In most cases these financial planners are commissioned sales people. That isn't necessarily bad, but it is important that you understand that before you turn your money over the them. Starting over with retirement plans can be done, but do yourself a favor and remember that no one http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 66 of 143

Start Planning For Retirement Today-Economy In Free Fall

Today with the economy seemingly in a free fall and increased attention on the importance of saving and planning for the future, many people realize they need to start planning for retirement today. The truth is that the sooner you start planning and saving for your retirement the more you will have available. Few people will actually start planning for retirement today, especially if they are young and single. But the truth is, starting your retirement planning when you are young and single is the best time to do it. There are two main reasons for this: one reason is pretty obvious - the longer you save the more you will have. It will be nice to know whenever retirement rolls around that you are ready for it and you can live a comfortable life for the rest of your life. And two, it's easier to get in the habit of saving and making (and living within) a budget when you don't have a lot of expenses. Starting a retirement plan early on before you are married and have children and college funds to worry about may make it easier to get into the habit of saving for retirement. Many people make a mistake and actually don't even think about saving for retirement until they are close to retirement age. The problem is that at that time they have many other obligations and a lot less time to save. So, I think we've established that starting earlier is better. Another very important thing to keep in mind is that you should never just turn your money over to a financial planner and "hope for the best". So many people did that and so many people have lost a substantial percentage of their retirement savings. You see, the traditional wisdom is to "invest for the long term" and that you can "recoup your investments when the market rebounds" But there are two major flaws with that logic: 1. You may not have time to recoup your savings and investments in time for your retirement. How would it feel if you were to lose upwards of half of your retirement portfolio just a few years, or months, before you were set to retire? Than what? Do you keep working? Do you retire on time and hope for the best? Do you move in with your grown kids? 2. Few really wealthy and successful investors lose much of their investments when the markets go south. Why is that? Well, for many of them they are at least a little knowledgeable and they are part of their own investing team. When they see signs that the markets are going down they will pull much of their money out and http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 68 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation move it to another form of investments. That way, they can keep their money in a safe haven during the crash. So instead of having to recoup their investments, they've lost little or none of the investments in the first place. Not only that, but in many cases their investments continued to grow during the market crash! So while millions are scrambling and hoping they can recoup what they've lost ( a process that may take years) savvy investors are actually making money during the down market. Keep all this information in mind as you start planning for retirement today.

Stolen Wallet What To Do-List Of Immediate Actions To Take

The question stolen wallet what to do is a common issue. The things that you do immediately after losing your wallet or having it stolen are very important. If you do the right things right away, you can almost always diminish any problems that will arise from your information falling into the wrong hands. The longer a crook has with your personal information, not to mention your credit cards, without you knowing it, the more damage they can do. So, the sooner you catch the situation and notify the right people the sooner you can stop the bleeding. In this article I will go over some easy things that you should do as soon as you realize that your information has been compromised. Again, do these steps as quickly as you possibly can once you realize your wallet has been stolen. Start here: 1. The first thing you need to do is to make sure all your credit and debit cards are canceled. This will be a slight inconvenience for a while, true, but there is nothing else that you can do. It will be even worse if someone racks up huge debt on your credit card. There will be 24 hour access to your credit card company, usually a phone number. The numbers are usually on the back of the card, though that won't do you any good if you have lost your card. So, make sure you write down these numbers and keep them somewhere safe just in case this ever happens to you. 2. Next, you need to contact your bank. Let them know that your wallet has been lost or stolen. They will probably want to keep a close eye on your account. One thing that crooks like to do is to add themselves to your account. They will pretend that they are an owner on your account so they can take all the money out of that account. They may be able to use some of the information they find in your wallet to add themselves to your accounts. Let the bank know that your information is floating around out there somewhere. 3. Contact each of the three credit bureaus (TransUnion, Experian and Equifax) right away. They will need to know that someone has stolen your wallet and could possibly try to steal your identity. If your wallet is stolen you can usually get a fraud alert placed on your accounts. This will make it a lot more difficult for anyone to use your information to open up some sort of credit, whether a loan or another credit card. 4. The last thing you need to do, but by no means any less important, is to file a police report. This too will help you establish a time line. That time line can come into play if there is any damage done to your credit or loans or credit cards taken out in your name. This step will make it easier for you to prove that you really aren't the one who did the spending. Hopefully this information will help answer the question "stolen wallet what to do" if you ever find yourself in that situation.

Strength Training And Nutrition Tips For Staying Healthy

It's important to have the right amount of energy when beginning a fitness regime. The 50- plus nutrients the body needs are the same for sedentary and active people. No single food or supplement can provide everything. A variety of foods are needed every day. But, just as there is more than one way to achieve a goal, there is more than one way to follow a nutritious diet. Competitive athletes, sedentary individuals and people who exercise for health and fitness all need the same nutrients. However, because of the intensity of their sport or training program, some people have higher calorie and fluid requirements. Eating a variety of foods to meet increased calorie needs helps to ensure that the athlete's diet contains appropriate amounts of carbohydrate, protein, vitamins and minerals. Health and nutrition professionals recommend that 55-60% of the calories in your diet come from carbohydrates, no more than 30% from fat and the remaining 10-15% from protein. The amount of calories you need depends on your age, body size, and fitness program. For example, a 250-pound weight lifter needs more calories than a 98-pound gymnast. Exercise or training may increase calorie needs by as much as 1,000 to 1,500 calories a day for themost active athletes while a desk jockey may just need a 150 extra calories when starting a fitness regime. The best way to determine if you're getting too few or too many calories is to monitor your weight. Keeping within your ideal weight range means that you are getting the right amount of calories. Most activities use a combination of fat and carbohydrate as energy sources. How hard and how long you work out, your level of fitness and your diet will affect the type of fuel your body uses. For short-term, high-intensity activities like sprinting, athletes rely mostly on carbohydrate for energy. During low-intensity exercises like walking, the body uses more fat for energy. Carbohydrates are sugars and starches found in foods like breads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, pasta, milk, honey, syrups and table sugar. Carbohydrates are the preferred source of energy for your body. Regardless of origin, your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose that your blood carries to cells to be used for energy. Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram. Your body cannot differentiate between glucose that comes from starches or sugars. Glucose from either source provides energy for working muscles. When you are doing an active fitness regime, your muscles need energy to perform. One source of energy for working muscles is glycogen which is made from carbohydrates and stored in your muscles. Every time you work out, you use some of your glycogen. If you don't consume enough carbohydrates, your glycogen stores become depleted, which can result in fatigue. Both sugars and starches are effective in replenishing glycogen stores. As long as you are getting 1800 calories a day and have a balanced diet, you probably won?t need any specialized fitness supplements once you start a fitness regime. If you follow a vegetarian diet or avoid an entire group of foods (for example, never drink milk), you may need a supplement to make up for the vitamins and minerals not being supplied by food. A multivitamin-mineral pill that supplies 100% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) will provide the nutrients needed. A dieter who frequently cuts back on calories, especially below the 1,800 calorie level, is not only at risk for inadequate vitamin and mineral intake, but also may not be getting enough carbohydrate. Since vitamins and minerals do not provide energy, they cannot replace the energy provided by carbohydrates. Many athletes, especially those on strength-training programs or who participate in power sports, are http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 71 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation told that eating a ton of protein or taking protein supplements will help them gain muscle weight. People starting fitness regimes are often lured into buying protein powders or bars. However, the true secret to building muscle is training hard and consuming enough calories. While some extra protein is needed to build muscle, most American diets provide more than enough protein. Between 1.0 and 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram body weight per day is sufficient if your calorie intake is adequate and you're eating a variety of foods. For a 150-pound athlete, that represents 68-102 grams of protein a day. Calcium is needed for- strong bones and proper muscle function. Dairy foods are the best source of calcium. However, studies show that many women who are trying to lose weight cut back on dairy products. Women who don't get enough calcium may be at risk for stressfractures and, when they're older, osteoporosis. Young women between the ages of 11 and 24 need about 1,200 milligrams of calcium a day. After age 25, the recommended intake is 800 milligrams. Low-fat dairy products are a rich source of calcium and also are low in fat and calories. Strength training takes energy and that energy comes from your intake of healthy calories, which of course come from the healthy food you eat. By following the above tips, you will be able to maintain your strength training at it's most effective level.

Stressed Out & Loveless- Try Cialis

?Honey I am too tired for it?, is the refrain among the men who undergo erectile dysfunction (ED) commonly known as impotence. There could be umpteen numbers of reasons for the problem, which vary from one person to another. Some 30 million Americans suffer from different degrees of ED. One of the oft-quoted reasons among the physically otherwise healthy men is the stressful lifestyle. The daily grind at work, deadlines to catch up with, fracas with the colleagues, unpleasant meetings and unfulfilled targets, they all add up to a life devoid of some relaxed moments. Add to this is the new work culture that is sweeping the urban India ? the work culture of mushrooming call centers, where the employees must work during the night to serve their clients in the West when it is daytime there. The whole set of biological rhythms is turned around when nights are spent working and days sleeping. And it is a major recipe for stress. Many would agree that we are basically nocturnal creatures when it comes to getting intimate although there is nothing to stop us from having a go at sex during anytime of the day. Sex essentially is a function of the relaxed moments, when you would like to unwind with your partner, pat each other a little or crack a joke. Call centre work culture is taking those moments away from the lives of the night time workers when most of them are unable to share private moments with their spouses, and as a study indicates, men are more prone to impotence or erectile dysfunction when they have such disturbed biological rhythms. As they would say that daytime sleeping is no sleeping, same would hold true for sex. The life pattern stretched over a long period would certainly lead to an affected sexual health. There is plenty of information available on the Internet on the help available in the form of treatments starting from medicines like the cheap Cialis to multi-session psychological counselings. Though one can buy Cialis online, it is always the complete examination of the condition by a qualified doctor and his prescription that must be followed in matters as serious as erectile dysfunction. Sure you cannot leave a career in these times of cut-throat for a decent job. Even if it means no sleeping in the night for years together. But surely there is a way out of sexual lethargy and disinterest when you have a way to learn to snatch those your own moments.

Stress Relief Is Available=Learn To Deal With It Effectively

S-t-r-e-s-s, it is everywhere and unless you learn to deal effectively with it and find ways to get some stress relief, it can cause some serious health problems. Some of the most common effects prolonged exposure to stressful situations have on your body, mood, and behavior are: 1. Headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, loss of interest in sex, and changes in your sleep pattern and bowel habits. 2. Increased anxiousness, lack of motivation, depression and restlessness. 3. Overeating or not eating enough, using alcohol or drugs, withdrawing from social situations, or lashing out in anger can become behavioral problems. If you notice that you are experiencing any of these symptoms you should go speak to your doctor and have a physical to make sure that you do not have any underlying problems caused by the stressful situations in your life like increased blood pressure. Have the doc give you the once over and then ask them how to decrease the stressful situations in your life. You could just need to talk a walk everyday after dinner to alleviate some anxiety. Nothing beats exercise for stress relief and to know you are doing something good for yourself is a plus as well. It does not even have to be intense exercise. A walk around the neighborhood will do nicely. If you have the time you could try a yoga class. Yoga is extremely effective for relieving tension and helping you remain centered and calm. No one has to be a victim of the stressful situations life throws at us everyday. All you have to do is find ways to deal with it that work for you. Maybe some aroma therapy would be nice. Heck, you could even do this at work if you could find some time. Lavender is one of the best scents used for calming. Do some research online and then order some essential oils or go buy some in the store. Remember, though, a little goes a long way. Place only a drop or two on a cotton ball or tissue and put it up to your nose and inhale slowly and deeply. Exhale through your mouth and close your eyes and lay your head back, relaxing your entire body as you exhale. Repeat as needed. Include some soft music and dim lights to enhance the calming effects of the essential oils. Like I said, this is so easy to do, you could even manage to do this at work especially during a particularly rough day. When was the last time you laughed...at anything? If you cannot remember when you last had a good belly laugh then maybe you need to go rent a good comedy on your way home tonight. Everyone has heard that laughter is the best medicine, right? Well, it is also one of the best stress relief activities you can do for yourself, and it's free for everyone to do. If the movie doesn't do it for you then get together with some old friends and reminisce about old times. Just laugh.

Suns Aging Effects-Everyone Wants To Look Their Best

Everyone wants to look their best all the time but if you tend to spend too much time outside in the summertime without protection the suns aging effects will eventually be quite noticeable. I think we have all see pictures of the "Sun Tan Lady", you know, the lady who was chastised in the news for tanning too much and taking her child in the tanning bed with her? Well, personally, I think she looks terrible and I think a lot of other people do, too. She looks like she is made of leather. She should be made the poster woman for the suns aging effects and what not to do. We all know that the sun puts out two types of harmful rays, UVA and UVB. The UVA rays are the ones that will eventually age your skin well beyond it's years by increasing your chance for those deep creases, wrinkles, and brown spots (also called "age spots"). UVB rays are the ones that cause more immediate damage like sunburn. Repeated overexposure to the suns harmful rays can eventually lead to some form of skin cancer. So, what to do? Avoidance is the best policy when it comes to sun exposure but we all know that is virtually impossible. We need the sun, in moderation, so our bodies can produce the Vitamin D that so many of us are deficient in. If you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, in the winter time then you know what I am talking about. The sunlight also affects the serotonin levels in our brain and that's why we get to feeling better and our moods lift when it is sunny out. You best bet is to just limit your time in the sun and find some shade or use sunscreen with a high sun protection factor, at least 30 spf. Read the label of your favorite sunscreen and see how often you should reapply it and follow the directions closely. Most people think they can put in on once when they first go out and then wonder why they got sunburned anyway. They did not follow the directions, that's why. If you happen to be like me and tan easily under the sun, you still should wear sunscreen. Getting a tan is the body's natural defense to skin damage but they say that a tan is still damage. You possibly could get away with using a lower sun protection factor sunscreen but you should still reapply it as directed. And just because you tan easily doesn't mean you can't get sunburned if you spend too much time in the sun because you can. A good skin care regimen is also essential to keeping your skin healthy as you age. Keeping your skin clean and using lotions or creams to give your skin some extra hydration are best. You do not need anything fancy or expensive to do this. The suns aging effects do not have to be a big concern if you take care of your skin and use adequate protection when you venture out into the sunlight.

Sun Skin Damage -Sunscreen And Lots Of It

There has long been cautions and warnings about how prolonged exposure to the sun can cause sun skin damage. But who wants to stay inside on a nice, warm , sunny, summer day? Not too many! So what is the answer? Sunscreen and lots of it. Did you know, though, that most people don't use sun screen correctly? They go out and they put it all over their bodies one time and think they will be protected all day. Some sunscreens may be able to protect you for an extended period of time but you should always reapply it every few hours. Some wash off in the water if you add swimming to your summer day and some are affected by sweat. Always read the label and follow the directions closely to avoid sun skin damage, especially when children are involved. Let's talk about the sun's rays for a minute. There are two main types that affect your skin: UVA and UVB UVA rays are the ones that can cause age spots and other skin discolorations. You may not even realize that this is skin damage, but it is, and was caused by the sun shining on unprotected skin when you were younger. UVB rays are the ones that cause you to get a sunburn. If you notice that your skin is red and painful after a day out in the sun, you have damaged your skin. The redness will fade after a few days but you will notice that after a week or two your skin will begin to "peel". This is usually not a painful process but you will not like the way it looks. Always use sunscreen! Even on cloudy days the sun's rays can affect your skin. They pass right through the clouds so do not be fooled into thinking that you are safe. Too many sunburns and/or prolonged exposure to the sun without being protected can lead to a more serious condition like skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. Sunscreen comes in several different levels and you can find them everywhere this time of year. The lowest protection factor is 4 on up to at least 50 maybe even higher. Sun tan oils are different and do not provide any protection from the suns rays. Tanning booths or beds are no better than lying in the sun. In fact, they can be even more harmful and can cause eye damage, accelerated premature aging, immune system suppression and they can even cause allergic reactions as well as skin damage. To avoid sun skin damage, you should stay out of the sun from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. These are the hours of the day are when the rays of the sun are most damaging. If you cannot avoid the sun at these times then you should at least try to limit the time that your skin is exposed by finding a nice shady spot to sit in and/or protecting yourself by wearing sunscreen.

Take Viagra Save Species in Jeopardy

Whenever there is a discussion about Viagra or even the word Viagra strikes our mind the first thing that we think is erectile dysfunction but have we ever in our wildest dream thought that Viagra can be helpful in saving a lot of endangered species. Surprised! But that?s true, the blue magical pill has spread its aura beyond erectile dysfunction, it?s not only benefiting human beings in achieving a healthy sexual life but also animals in surviving. A survey conducted by Australian and American researchers revealed astounding results, the survey was conducted on more than 250 Chinese men aged 50 to 70 and the results were unbelievable. They found that these men these me were more likely to be taking western erectile dysfunction treatment drug like Viagra in comparison to their traditional preferences which included seal genitalia, sea horses, geckos, green turtles and tiger bone. The research was promoted and financed by Pfizer (the manufacturers of Viagra under the leadership of Bill von Hippel, a Psychologist in the University of Wales along with his brother Frank, a biologist at the University of Alaska The dependability of the survey has been authenticated by the fact that there has been a sharp decline in the price of seal genitalia. The prices which were at a time, mounting up to $100 Canadian to around $20 Canadian after the launch of Viagra in 1998. Seal genitals are of very rare use outside the animal potency trade and thus the decline clearly portrays the impact of Viagra and other such drugs in reducing the consumption of traditional male impotency drugs. Its is also being predicted that the situation will remain as it is- the prices of seal genitals will remain low and even their market won?t extend, which clearly reflects the permanent decline in demand, thus indirectly saving the species. This miserable trade in seal penises when combined with the traditional medicine consumption clearly vindicates that Viagra and other new erectile dysfunction drugs are helpful in conserving certain animal species. The best part of the development is that none of the Chinese man has switched from Viagra back to traditional therapies. I would love to conclude with a friendly message, take Viagra and make your contribution in saving the endangered species. Viagra is effectual as well as an easy solution for erectile dysfunction. Other Online Pharmacy impotence drug includes Cialis and Levitra.

Most towns have free concerts from time to time, but particularly in the summer months. These range from classical music played by symphonies to patriotic tunes by a military band, to popular music.

Take advantage of this and your date will think you have some culture. Plan a picnic for your date. You don?t have to get imported Cheese or fancy wine either.

Another free dating women idea is to volunteer to babysit a married couple?s children. Not only is it fun to play with the rug rats, it gives your date the idea that you could be good with kids in the future. This will make her think more romantically toward you.

People spend a lot of time and money competing for the distinction of having the best holiday decorations outside their home. You can take advantage of this entertainment for free! My final free dating woman tip is to build a large fire in your fireplace and read poetry to each other. If that doesn?t get her in the mood, nothing ever will.

The Drug Propecia and Hair Loss

The drug propecia is a prescription hair loss medication designed mainly for men with mild to moderate hair loss. The effects of hair loss and propecia were studied in several clinical trials, and propecia was found to be better than a placebo. The men in the studies, aged between 18 and 41, took propecia daily for a year. Some men took a placebo. Of the men who took the propecia, 86% either did not suffer further hair loss, or actually increased the amount of hair in the affected areas. Only 14% of men had continued hair loss. The drug propecia has been found to be ineffective for women. This, combined with the potential danger of abnormalities to a male fetus, means that propecia is not prescribed for female pattern hair loss. Propecia has not been studied in older men, or men with complete baldness, and it has not been proved to work with a receding hairline. Propecia is not suitable for children, no doubt due to its negative effect on developing male genitals. Generally, propecia is a very safe drug for hair loss. Most men taking it did not have any side effects, though some reported: * erection difficulties * reduced amount of semen * less sexual desire These were not permanent changes, and when those affected stopped taking propecia, their symptoms disappeared. Some men who reported these side effects were also able to continue taking propecia without the side effects continuing. The report I saw did not say whether the side effects just stopped, or if other treatment was undertaken to counteract them. The drug propecia has only been studied on men for up to two years, and these men had no problems taking it for this period. However, based on research over a period of 32 years on men who are deficient on the enzyme that propecia suppresses, 5-alpha reductase, the mechanism by which propecia works seems to be quite safe for long term use. Disadvantages of Taking Propecia Propecia is not a cure for hair loss. Propecia works by interrupting the conversion process of testosterone to its metabolite, dihydrotestosterone (DHT for short). It does this by effecting the enzyme catalyst, 5-alpha reductase, that is involved in the conversion process. In male pattern hair loss, there is an excess of DHT in the part of the scalp where hair loss occurs. So, by reducing the amounts of DHT in the scalp, propecia effectively works to prevent new hair loss, and allows hair to regrow. However, to continue the benefits of propecia, you'll need to take it for the rest of your life. Once you stop taking propecia, the DHT levels will rise again in the scalp, and hair loss will return to pre-propecia levels. The Drug Propecia and Pregnancy Women should be very careful not to handle propecia if they are pregnant, as it can affect the development of the sex organs in a male fetus. So, it would be wise not to touch any open packets, or broken tablets. If you must, use a glove. Unbroken tablets are safety coated, so the active ingredient of propecia, which is the potential problem, is not present on the outside of the tablet. For men taking propecia, if your wife is pregnant, there is no risk to her unless she is exposed to the http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 81 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation active ingredient from a broken tablet. She, or the baby, won't be harmed when her partner is taking it. However, given that in some men propecia affects the amount of semen produced, if you are trying to conceive this may pose a problem. This side effect does not affect all, or most, men. But check with your doctor if you think this may be a concern.

The Fat Loss Secret You Never Knew About Eating

Everyone is looking for the latest and greatest secret to fat loss. They look to weird foreign fruits and impossible liquid diets in an effort to lose weight without any effort. While it is nice to believe that you can lose weight through these methods, it is simply impossible, and often unhealthy. The one major fat loss secret that can give you the results that you need revolves around food. To put it simply, you need to eat to lose weight. While this may sound strange, it is truly the best way to see long-term weight loss. This information will help you to better understand how your eating habits can help you to lose weight. Eating What you Want Wont Work There are certain diets that tell you that you can eat whatever you want. They tell you that as long as you eat smaller portions, you will lose weight. This is an unfortunate assumption, as this is simply untrue. If you have a diet that is full of fats, carbs, and sugars, you are not going to be able to lose weight. Small portions will still bring you above your daily caloric intake recommendations. Hyper-Diets Wont Work Either Trying to remove all of these foods from your diet isnt going to work either. If you completely cut out your favorite unhealthy foods, you are more likely to binge during your diet. This bingeing can actually end your diet, causing you to lose all of the progress that you have made. Simply add some of your favorite foods into your diet on occasion. Allowing yourself these cheating moments will help you to stick with your diet in the long run. Make Healthier Choices You need to eat. You actually need to eat a lot. You simply need to make sure that you are making healthier choices. Do not deprive yourself of food, simply find foods that are healthy that you enjoy. Eat Smaller Meals If you want to stay at your current weight, eat three large meals a day. If you want to lose weight, eat 5-7 smaller meals per day. These smaller meals allow your body more time to digest food, helping you to store less fat from the foods that you eat. Eat Breakfast Eat breakfast in the morning to kick-start your metabolism earlier in your day. The longer your metabolism is in high gear, the more calories you burn. There are people who constantly try diets that contradict these simple principles. The diets claim to help people to lose weight, only to leave their followers with broken hearts. While these diets may induce short-term weight loss, people will easily gain the weight back once they go back to their usual diet. You simply need to change the way that you eat. These small lifestyle changes will be able to make a big difference in terms of your weight goals. Eating is the fat loss secret that can seriously help you to lose weight.

The Home Remedy Ear Infection Prevention

Ear infections are something that no one wants to have to deal with. At their most mild, they?re extremely irritating, while at their worst they are exceedingly painful. No matter when they crop up, they?re always a problem. It?s even worse for some people who chronically develop ear infections. As they say, prevention is the best medicine. Prevention is the best form of home remedy. Ear infection doesn?t have to be a problem anymore if you follow a few simple steps. There are a lot of simple things that you can do at home to help prevent ear infections from happening. However, before trying any home remedies it?s a good idea to visit a doctor at least once. For example, one common cause of the type of ear infection called swimmers ear is getting water in the ears. This most commonly happens when a person goes swimming ? hence the name. There are some steps you can take while enjoying a day at the beach or at the pool to help protect against ear infection. One thing you can do is use a blow dryer on your ears after you?ve completed a swim. You don?t want to hold the blow dryer too close as it can be really hot, but just blow some of that warm air into your ears. This helps to evaporate any extra moisture in the ear canal, which means there?s no place for bacteria and fungus to grow. Another option is simply to wear earplugs when you go for a swim. Ear plugs moisture from getting into your ears in the first place, which helps protect against infection. Ear infections are sometimes caused by the ear canals getting clogged up. This particularly happens at night, because during the day your head is held upright and the tubes in your ears can drain properly. There are some ways to help avoid these tubes from getting blocked up. A lot of the tricks that people use to make their ears ?pop? can also help to make sure that your ear canals stay clear. For example, just chewing gum flexes the muscles around your ear canal, causing them to expand and contract. Yawning has the same sort of motion and also helps with this. Another simple way to clear out those tubes is just to take a breath and then close your mouth. Then, blow out your nose gently while firmly closing your nostrils off with your hand. It?s something that?s almost instinctual, but it helps keep the ear canals clear. If you know you?re the type of person prone to getting ear infections, you can also think about using ear drops or other over the counter medicines as preventative measures. It may seem paranoid but it?s worth it to avoid a nasty infection. Since the things you can do at home are so easy, prevention really is the best sort of home remedy. Ear infection is a nasty price to have to pay for not taking proper care of your ears. Do yourself a favor and improve your overall ear health today. Always remember if your ear infections are chronic, you should always consult your physician.

Thyroid Self Test And Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is a very common condition that effects millions of people across the globe without them even realizing it. Hypothyroidism is when your thyroid slows down in function which can have severe side effects on your body. Your thyroid primarily controls your metabolism but it also plays parts in other bodily functions as well, which is why it is important to make sure it is working as it should. There is no real form of Thyroid self test that you can do, and considering the symptoms of hypothyroidism it can be hard to know if you even have it. Some of the symptoms can include constipation, fatigue, feeling cold, gaining weight and the inability to lose weight and depression or anxiety. As you can imagine, all of these symptoms can be caused by a host of other things which is why determining whether or not you even have hypothyroidism is such a problem. Given these kinds of symptoms are so common you do not want to jump the gun and immediately assume you have hypothyroidism just because you are feeling a little blue or gained a few pounds. However if some of those symptoms have been going on for a while, you may want to consult your doctor about the possibility that you have hypothyroidism. As I mentioned, you can not Thyroid self test, so you will have to go to your doctor to check to see if you have hypothyroidism. It is a fairly simple and quick procedure to see if you have it. They will take a small blood sample to see if you have elevated counts of TSH. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is produced by your body when it detects your thyroid behaving abnormally. It is intended to correct the problem and get your thyroid back in working order. Sometimes this fails and that is why you suffer from hypothyroidism. Your doctor will test your blood and if there is a high enough amount of TSH it will tell them that you do indeed have hypothyroidism. This is not a very serious condition, though, so do not panic if you do have it. Your doctor will likely tell you that you will have to take some medication for the rest of your life and maybe make some small adjustments to your life style, but nothing significant. One of the most common reasons for your thyroid to act up is a lack of iodine. Iodine is a chemical produced by your body that essentially fuels your thyroid. Hypothyroidism is usually caused when your body does not produce enough iodine, forcing your thyroid to slow down since it does not have enough fuel. If this is the case your treatment will likely include iodine supplements to counter the problem. In the end, while the symptoms are exceptionally common and there is no Thyroid self test, hypothyroidism is not that big of a problem. If you suspect you have it just go see your doctor, and if you do have it than just do as instructed. You will find it to be a very minor inconvenience on your life.

Tinnitus is a condition which is defined as ringing in the ears when there is no noise from the outside that is causing the sound. Ringing seems to be the most common sound that suffers of tinnitus report. However, some hear beeping, whistling, buzzing, rustling or other sounds rather than ringing. Although there is no cure for the condition, there are several methods of treatment. How you go about treating your diagnosed tinnitus will depend on what the cause of your condition is.

It could be stress, over-exposure to loud noises, mental illness, and other more intangible factors. The hearing system is extremely sensitive and can be thrown off when other things in the body are imbalanced as well. So, there are many strategies that have worked for different types of tinnitus suffers. Tinitus retraining therapy is one of these methods and it is a relatively new approach. It involves masking the noise with a "masker" that you wear on your ear to block out the disturbing noise and, at the same time, trying to focus on other noises than those that are inside their ears. The goal is to start the patient out with a masker to help them focus on other sounds and, by the end of the training, have them remove the masker and be able to do so without it. Antibiotics is another possible "cure". If your ear ringing is causes by an infection, this is all you will need to get rid of the problem. If you get to your doctor in the early stages of the infection, it will not progress to tinnitus. As with all antibiotics, you must take the full course of the medication so that your infection doesn't come back stronger than the first time. Maskers by themselves, without the therapy that goes with it, can drown out the ringing with another noise. These tend to work better for milder cases of tinnitus and they are worn just like a hearing aid. If you can stand by the water faucet with the water turned all the way on, and if you hear only the water, you will likely benefit from using a masker. Tinnitus is a disorder that, in mild forms, is very disturbing, and in more severe forms can be debilitating and lead to permanent hearing loss. Tinnitus retraining therapy, masking and antibiotics are just some of the ways that tinnitus suffers are dealing with the condition.

Tinitus Treatment Made Easy

Tinnitus affects almost 40 million people in the U.S. and it is reported that over 12 million suffer enough to seek medical help or tinitus treatment. The condition is defined by ringing, whistling, humming, buzzing, whirring, or other noises inside the ear, when there are no corresponding outside noises to cause these sounds. Tinnitus can come from problems in inner ear, outer ear, middle ear, or imbalances in the brain. One of the present-day main causes of tinnitus is thought to be over-exposure to loud noises. Other possible causes include, but are not limited to, stress, infection, certain medications, or too much ear wax. It's generally agreed upon that in order to treat tinnitus successfully, you first have to find the root cause of tinnitus and treat that. Your doctor can help you understand where your tinnitus is originating with your medical history, an examination, and certain tests. There is no known cure for tinnitus and in many cases, there is no specific tinnitus treatment. It could disappear on its own, or it could be a permanent disability that you will learn to manage and deal with. Many patients have found success with treating tinnitus with changes in lifestyle, improving your immune system, and other alternative treatments. Changes in lifestyle basically means making sure you are eating healthy foods and avoiding unhealthy foods. If you do this already, then than your eating habits are not the cause of your tinnitus. However, if you find that you are eating fast foods, processed foods, junk food, and lots of excess salt, then this change could be your solution. Excess salt restricts blood vessels, increases blood pressure and reduces how much blood and oxygen are getting to your eyes, ears and brain. As your blood pressure increases, so does the volume of the noise in your ears. Try to stick to fruit and vegetables, lean protein, whole-grains and fatty fish. Cook with olive oil instead of butter or other oils. Avoid salt, caffeine and alcohol which all may aggravate your condition. In order to enhance your immune system, try to get enough sleep and a little bit of exercise every day. This doesn't mean that you need to work out every day. Just take a walk or climb the stairs at the office every once in a while instead of taking the elevator. Getting the right amount of sleep and exercising also help to reduce stress which is also believed to contribute to tinnitus. Finally, certain "new age" or alternative therapies are also helping some people who suffer from tinnitus. These can include acupuncture, biofeedback, habituation, and even hypnotherapy, which has been reported to benefit more than 50 percent of the people who have undergone it. Hypnosis places you in a heightened state of awareness and focused concentration so that you can retrain the brain to break the sound which is bothering you.

Tips For Fixing A Broken Relationship

If you are in a relationship that has never had a problem of any kind, then you need to wake up from your fantasy world. However, if you live in the real world, then you know that all relationships have their highs and lows. The fact that you are looking for tips for fixing a broken relationship shows that you fully understand that you are experiencing a low point. With that in mind, here are some things you can do to make things better. 1. Wait - You need to give yourself time to calm down after a break up, and your ex needs time too. If you try too soon to plead your case for getting back together then you run the risk of pushing your ex farther away from you. Your emotions are running too high to use the right approach, and their emotions are running too high to be receptive. Your best bet is to wait. 2. Think - During your time apart you should think about what went wrong in your relationship. What things led to the break up? Could they have been avoided? You need to do more than just scratch the surface here, you have to get down to source of the problems that caused the break up. 3. Solve - Now that you have a handle on the problems, you can start to come up with possible solutions. You aren't talking to your ex yet, so you will have to do this part by yourself. However, once the two of you start talking, be sure that you ask for input from your ex as well. 4. Plan - You have given it some time, have thought things through, and even came up with a few possible solutions, so now it's time to make a plan for getting back together. What that plan is will depend on you and your ex, and also on what problems you have uncovered. You may be able to get by without a plan, but you will find that having one makes things that much easier. 5. Talk - Hooray! You've made it this far, and now it's time to take a big step: getting in touch with your ex. Your initial contact should be relatively low key because you don't want to run the risk of scaring them off. The goal of this first contact is to set up a time and place where the two of you can talk face-to-face. Once you start talking, be sure to be friendly and respectful. Share the things you have come to realize, but remember to take things slow. 6. Work - If your ex is willing to give your relationship another try, then be ready to do some work. There are sure to be obstacles along the way, but if you are committed to getting back together, then you can move beyond them. These tips for fixing a broken relationship will get you off to a good start, but you need to actually do them. Sure, it takes some effort, but it's effort that will eventually make you happy.

Tips On Mens Skin Care-Not Just Girly Stuff

It seems as though everybody, including television, newspapers and magazines, is well-aware of the need for women to take care of their skin. In more recent years, however, there is a growing interest in tips on mens skin care. It used to be that men who cared about their skin had a very limited range of options. They may have had one or two choices, but after that, many of the products they could use were made by women and for women. Let's face it, most guys have an image to maintain, and being seen buying "girly stuff" just doesn't sit well. The good news for men is that the rest of the world has finally caught up to their skin care needs. While everybody is different, men tend to have different skin than women, and that means that they need specially formulated products. Another consideration is that men who shave their faces are already doing some basic skin care, even if they are not aware of it. Furthermore, shaving requires its own set of tips on men's skin care, adding another difference between the products men and women should be using. Shaving tips are a good place to start: You should only shave after taking a shower, or treating your face with a hot, wet towel. This will give your whiskers some time to get softer, allowing for an easier, closer and more comfortable shave. The razor you use makes a big difference, so it's not a good idea to use cheap disposable razors. If you are looking for the real secret to a high-quality shave, it's shaving oil. This is an oil that is applied to the face before the shaving foam or gel. Let the oil and foam sit for a minute or two so it has time to further soften your whiskers. Shaving in the same direction as your beard growth will minimize any bumps. Be sure to rinse off your razor after every stroke. Once you are done, apply an aftershave balm, and finally a small dash of cologne if the balm is unscented. Generally speaking, men have more oily skin when compared to women. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser once a day will help keep the oil under control. You should avoid using regular soap because it can make your skin too dry, which can actually cause your skin to produce more oil to compensate. Look for soaps that are made for specifically for the face and don't have chemical additives such as perfumes and dyes. If washing your face isn't enough, then you may want to add a toner and moisturizer to your routine. The toner will shrink your pores and make your face feel fresh, giving you a nice, peppy feeling. Moisturizer will keep your skin smooth and hydrated, and prevent early aging. Following these basic tips on mens skin care will get you off to a good start, but it's only a start. There are a lot of excellent products designed with men in mind. If you find one that looks good to you, be sure to grab it.

Tips On Strength Training To Stay Healthy

A lot has been written about the benefits of cardiovascular aerobic training. Until recently, however, little attention has been given to strength training which is an important component of a balanced fitness program is. Part of the problem is that strength training has been equated with bodybuilding. However, you do not need to be a body builder to benefit from strength training. A well designed strength-training program can provide the following benefits: * Strength of bones increases. * Muscles and connective tissue strengthens (ie. the tendons and ligaments), decreasing the risk of injury. * Increased muscle mass. Most adults lose about one-half pound of muscle per year after the age of 20 due to decreased activity. Muscle tissue is partly responsible for the number of calories burned at rest (the basal metabolic rate or BMR). As muscle mass increases, BMR increases. This makes it easier to maintain a healthy body weight. * Enhanced quality of life. As general strength increases, the effort required to perform daily routines such as carrying groceries or working in the garden will be less demanding. Here are exercises to work all the major muscle groups. If you neglect certain groups, it can lead to strength imbalances and poor posture. A fitness professional can help you to learn safe techniques to do each of these exercises, so you should consult one before beginning a strength training program. One set of 8-12 repetitions, working the muscle to the point offatigue, is usually sufficient. Breathe normally throughout the exercise. Lower the resistancewith a slow, controlled cadence throughout the full range of motion. Lifting the weight to a count of two and lowering it to a count of three or four is effective. When you are able to perform 12 repetitions of an exercise correctly (without cheating), increase the amount of resistance by 5 percent to 10 percent to continue safe progress. * Leg Press - quadriceps, gluteals * Leg Curl - hamstrings * Chest Press - pectorals * Lat Pull Down - latissimus dorsi * Lateral Raise - deltoid * Triceps Press - triceps * Biceps Curl - biceps * Curl-up - abdominals * Back Extension - erector spinae Staying Motivated An encouraging aspect of strength training is the fact that you?ll likely experience rapid improvements in strength and muscle tone right from the start of your program. Don?t be discouraged, however, if visible improvements begin to taper off after a few weeks. It?s onlynatural that, as your fitness level improves, improvements in strength and appearance will follow at a slightly slower pace. To help keep your motivation up, find a partner to train with you. Aim to exercise each muscle group at least two times per week, with a minimum of two days of rest between workouts. Training more frequently or adding more sets may lead to slightly greater gains, but the small added benefit may not be worth the extra time and effort or the added risk of injury.

Todays Economy And Retirement-When Its Your Time

With the events of the past few years, many people will worry about what Todays Economy and Retirement will mean for them when it is time for them to retire. Many who have saved for retirement now find that their savings have been decimated by job loss or by the falling stock market. For them, the old saw about "waiting until the market rebounds and you'll get your money back" may not be a viable option. That sounds like ok advice if you are young and retirement is a long way off, but what if your retirement is supposed to start in just a few years, or less? Will you really be able to find yourself back where you started from? So, while you can't go back and change anything that has happened to this point, you can take the reigns of your financial future and make sure that todays economy and retirement don't interfere with one another. What do I mean by that? Well, mostly I mean that while you certainly can't control everything, you need to make sure you are taking control of those that you can control. You can't control whether or not you will lose your job. There simply isn't much you can do for that eventuality except save for it. And if you do end up losing your job you will likely lose all your savings and find yourself back to square one anyway. But, you can have a lot more control over how your money is invested. This is something way too many people overlook... and that mistake has cost them. Let me tell you a little story; about ten years ago a dear friend of mine came into a lot of money. She did what most people did - she found a financial adviser to invest her money for her and keep it safe. The financial adviser was a nice, honest and fairly competent person, but she was basically just a commissioned sales person. Now, there is nothing wrong with that but she had no real deep investment knowledge. She just basically followed along with what the 'experts" recommended. She made most of her money as commissions when she bought or sold stocks from the portfolios of her investors. That is what many people do, they hand their money over to someone and hope for the best. Unfortunately most of these people don't really know a whole lot. Also, no one you hire will ever care about your money as much as you do. So what are you supposed to do? You don't have to become a broker and make a full time career out of investing just to protect your money, do you? Of course not. You don't have to be an expert but you should take a little time to learn more about investing and decide what you really want to accomplish with your investing. Is your main goal to preserve your wealth or to grow it? One thing that is kind of laughable, when you think about it, is one of the first questions an investment adviser will ask you: what is your risk tolerance? If you say "none" they will put your money away somewhere and you won't earn another cent from that money. But, if you learn what you are doing, you will find that you can actually lower your risk to virtually http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 92 of 143

Top Nutritional Tips to Support Healthy Hair Growth

1. Eat adequate amounts of protein. Protein is composed of the amino acids essential for the building of new cells, including hair. Five amino acids are of particular relevance to hair growth - cystine, cysteine, methionine, arginine and lysine. Inadequate protein intake over a lengthy period can force hair into the resting phase with shedding a few months later. It is obvious then that sufficient portions of protein rich foods should form part of your daily diet. The best sources of dietary protein are lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, soy, nuts, grains and seeds. At least 15% of your daily calories should come from protein-rich foods. 2. Eat adequate amounts of useful carbohydrates. Carbs are an essential source of energy and help in the growth of body tissues, including hair. They are an important source of the B vitamins that are vital to healthy hair. It is important that you concentrate on consuming non-refined carbs rather than the sugars and white flour that are so prevalent in many over-refined carb products. You should place an emphasis on consuming vegetables, fruits, whole grains, brown rice and potatoes. It is recommended that you obtain 55-60% of your daily calories from the carbohydrates found in these foods. 3. Achieve a healthy balance of dietary fats. Fat is used in energy production and can be found in both animal and plant foods. Your body needs sufficient levels of fat to maintain good health. That fat should be obtained from a mixture of lean animal and plant sources. Roughly 25-30% of your daily calories should come from these sources. 4. The right nutritional balance is one that suits your personal circumstances. How much of each food group you eat depends on a host of factors including age, sex, health and level of physical activity. When choosing meals and snacks, take account of the following key principles of sound nutrition: - Eat a variety of foods. - Apply moderation to your consumption of junk foods. - Choose natural and lightly processed foods as often as possible. - Do not over cook. 5. Support a nutritious diet with a few carefully chosen supplements. Following a nutritious diet is essential for good hair health, but on its own this may not be sufficient for a number of reasons:

Twelve Alcoholism Signs You Might Need A Twelve Step Program

While you might be in denial about your alcoholism, signs might be pointing to your having a problem and needing treatment. Look carefully at these symptoms and honestly look at them and try to see if that is portraying a picture of you. It could be that only one or two of them apply, but you wouldn't be off the hook. All you need is for a couple of these to be right and you could still very well be an alcoholic. 1- Feeling guilty or ashamed for drinking. You might act defensive when questioned about it and you may try to hide it, but take a close look and honestly at yourself if you feel ashamed for what you are doing. 2- Are you using alcohol in situations where it is physically dangerous to do so? Driving a vehicle while intoxicated is the most obvious, but by far not the only one. It may be operating equipment of any kind can put you at risk. Using heavy machinery at work can be deadly when you are drunk. Also, consider drinking when pregnant. There are some serious issues that come along with this. 3- Don't know when to say when. You may have had in your head how much you want to drink, but once you get started you can't stop. A few drinks will turn into a lot more. 4- Alcohol takes up your energy and focus. How often do you think about drinking. Does it ever interrupt your thinking? Also, how often do you have to plan your schedule around going to get a drink? If this is a recurring and daily theme with you, you might have a problem. 5- You want to quit, but you can't. You know the benefits of stopping and know what bad can come from not. As much as you want to do it, you just can't pull yourself away from it. 6- Finding excuses to drink. It might have started out with you drinking socially, but then you started doing it to ease some pain or calm yourself down. Now you look for any and every reason to throw one back. 7- Drinking in secret. You try to hide it. You hide the booze where you can and you try to do it when no one is around. You may just not want to be bothered, but you are being bothered for a good reason. You need to stop. 8- Blacking out or forgetting what you did while drunk. How do you know you have any control over what you are doing? How do you know you aren't going to do something that will totally screw up your life or the life of someone else because you can't stop. You don't know what you are capable of and not capable of if you have blackouts. You have no control. 9- Hurt someone because of being drunk. Alcohol is often looked as something that will make you bold. Sometimes that can be too bold and could harm seriously one that you love. 10- Built up a tolerance. Have you reached a point where it takes two or three times more alcohol to get that buzz than it did in the past? If you feel like you can handle more that doesn't mean that you should. It just puts you at greater risk. 11- Lie to others about your drinking. If you have to hide it, you probably shouldn't be doing it. Lying betrays trust and hurts relationships. 12- You drink even though you know it causes you problems. You know better, but if you don't do anything than your knowledge is useless. You choose every day to do the right thing or the wrong thing. The right thing for you is to not do those things that cause you and your family hardships. http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 96 of 143

Victim Of Identity Theft-The Good News And The Bad News

If you ever find yourself the victim of identity theft I have good news and bad news. The good news is that since this type of fraud is happening more and more often, the process of putting things back together has improved a little. Can you imagine what it was like to prove someone had stolen your identity and try to clear your name back when it was still relatively unheard of? The bad news is that even though it may be a little easier today to reestablish your good financial name, it can still be a huge hassle. In this article I will give you some tips of the steps you need to take to get your records and credit cleared up. One of the best things you can do to get things cleared up as soon as possible is to act quickly. The second most important thing is to keep careful records. Document everything: everyone you speak to about this issue as well as dates and times of the conversations, keep copies of any letters you send or receive during this "clean up" process. Other than those tips, here are the specific things you should do: 1. No matter what has alerted you to a problem, as soon as you see something is wrong immediately contact all three credit bureaus: Trans Union, Experian and Equifax. Make sure they understand that your information has been compromised, explain in detail what has happened and request a fraud alert is placed on your reports. This fraud alert should make it impossible for anyone to open up a line of credit using your information. Ask how long this fraud alert will stay in effect. It may only be for a few months but you may be able to have the time frame extended beyond that point. 2. If any of your existing credit cards are lost you should also contact all your credit card companies and let them know what has happened. They will probably cancel all your cards and reissue new ones to you. 3. Contact your bank to see what, if any, steps they think you should take. Opening a bank account in your name or even having someone add themselves to your account and then cleaning you out are very real scenarios. Your bank should be able to tell you what you, or they, can do and what safeguards can be put in place to protect your existing accounts. 4. And last, but definitely not least, contact your local police department and file a report. This can help out later when you are trying to put things back together again. It may also be important if the thief is ever caught. The bottom line is this: do everything you can do to prevent yourself from becoming a victim in the first place. And if you ever find that despite your best efforts someone has succeeded in stealing your identity be willing to take the time to get it sorted out. Never be afraid to ask questions, get the names and titles of the people you are dealing with and make a timeline. Keep all records and stay calm. This too shall pass. These tips can make it easier to get everything back to normal if you ever become the victim of identity theft.

Vitamins And Menopause-Minimize Unpleasant Effects

Menopause will signal the beginning of a new phase of life for women. While the symptoms aren't pleasant, and can last a long time, there can be some relief. Some women find that vitamins and menopause can go hand in hand. The right vitamins and menopause can work together to help lessen some of the more unpleasant side effects of menopause. When many of us think of menopause we will think of hot flashes. And while many a joke has been made about menopausal women, I'm here to tell you that menopause is not for wimps. I have a friend who has been suffering from hot flashes for almost 10 years. These hot flashes can be so bad that she looks like she just ran a marathon she is sweating so much. Not only is that very uncomfortable, it can also be embarrassing... especially if she is out in public when it happens. In addition to the extreme hot flashes, she sometimes gets a migraine headache and nausea. Fortunately, she doesn't always get these extra symptoms but when she does it makes an already miserable situation much, much worse. She has literally spent years trying to find a safe and effective treatment options for her symptoms. Doctors used to prescribe hormone replacement therapy to help alleviate the symptoms but since it has been found to increase the risk of breast cancer they try to avoid this type of therapy in all but the most extreme cases. If they do prescribe it, they prescribe the lowest possible dose for the shortest possible time. Another option that is gaining in popularity is the more natural option of taking vitamins and natural herbs. There are many herbs and vitamins that can help for a myriad of symptoms and side effects of menopause. For example, one of the common side effects of menopause is the loss of bone density which can lead to osteoporosis. Taking a Vitamin D supplement can help keep your bones strong. Also, some doctors will recommend taking Calcium for the same reason. Taking Vitamin E may help relieve hot flashes, though everyone is different and some women find it doesn't seem to help. Vitamin A can help keep your hair and skin from drying out, another possible side effect of menopause. And Vitamin B complex can help with fatigue and stress issues that are common when going through menopause. Some all natural remedies like black cohosh and red clover have helped some women find relief from hot flashes. Also, the Chinese herb called dong quai can help because it can act like a natural estrogen. Of course, it is always important to talk to your doctor before you start taking any type of medicines, even all natural ones. Even natural remedies can interact with other things you may be taking and cause some possibly serious side effects. http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 101 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation serious side effects. Depending on your doctor, you may not want to ask them if you should take natural supplements but only if it would be safe with what you are already taking. The reason I say this is that many western doctors simply don't believe in the thousands of years of anecdotal evidence that these natural remedies work. They are often very dismissive and would likely just tell you they don't work... period. And while it may be true that they won't work for you, as long as there are no interactions with other things you are taking, what have you got to lose? Vitamins and menopause can go hand in hand, just find out which ones are best for you.

Bone loss is another common problem for women going through menopause so it's important to take a calcium supplement, usually 1500 mg daily, added to 500- 750 mg magnesium to help improve absorption. Menopause is no fun for any woman, or her immediate family, but there are vitamins to relieve menopause symptoms. Try to find an effective and natural way to relieve, or at least lessen, your menopausal symptoms.

What Are Holistic Practitioners

Today we are starting to become a little leery of our health care. We are starting to think that 'progress' is overrated, or at least when it comes to ignoring centuries old practices that have been proven to work. Using some of these old practices is what holistic practitioners do. Professionals who don't just treat one aspect of the person but rather incorporate the whole person: mind, body, and spirit, are using the 'whole' or holistic approach to health care. These practitioners use many non-invasive, drug free techniques to help keep their patients healthy and to help treat chronic problems. Unlike drug therapies, these holistic methods don't have the negative side effects associated with many prescription drugs. Modern western medicine tends to look at the symptoms of an illness only after they've presented themselves there is little focus on prevention. The whole person, mind, body, and spirit is largely ignored with the focus only on that one part that is sick. Rarely do they look for the underlying cause but merely treat the symptoms. Holistic medicine, on the other hand, takes a completely opposite approach. They focus on the mind, body, and spirit and encourage practices that can prevent illness from happening in the first place. A holistic professional can use various methods to help their patient achieve and maintain good health and well being. Some of the most common methods used are: acupuncture, massage therapy, aromatherapy, meditation, and Chinese herbal medicine, to name just a few. The holistic approach recognizes that the human body is designed to heal itself and sometimes just needs a little help. Just changing some simple daily lifestyle choices can have dramatic effects on the body and it's ability to prevent and even cure many illnesses. Many of these holistic approaches are starting to be recognized and endorsed by the once resistant 'traditional' medical community. With the awareness that not all man made medications are good for us and often create their own set of problems a lot of doctors are starting to incorporate a more holistic approach in their practice. Most states require some type of licensing for anyone who is treating people using these methods. Most holistic professionals have as much, or nearly as much, schooling as a regular M.D. If you don't believe that just 'popping a pill' every time you have a health issue is the best way to go, if you are concerned with the long term side effects of taking a lot of medications, or if you just think that prevention makes more sense than waiting until there is a problem and treating it after it occurs, you should find holistic practitioners in your area and learn how you can become more pro-active in regards to your health.

What Is Holistic Medicine

Today with so many people getting back to basics and going green you are starting to hear a lot about holistic medicine. But have you ever wondered what that means and what it can mean to the health and well being of you and your family? The term holistic simply means to take a 'whole' approach. In medicine today your doctor tends to only focus on one small area of your health and only tries to relieve the symptoms, very often completely overlooking the cause. For example, if you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure your doctor will no doubt prescribe a blood pressure lowering prescription drug. More often than not this medicine will have moderate to severe side effects. Since the medicine only treats the symptoms, and not the cause, you will have to continue to take it for an extended period of time. Sometimes taking a medication for a long period of time can make the side effects worse, which will often lead to the need to take medication to cure the side effects! Holistic methods, on the other hand, will not just focus on your high blood pressure. Instead it will look at all aspects of your lifestyle: nutrition, physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, etc. It will try to solve the root cause of your problem instead of just help you deal with the symptoms. The holistic approach doesn't rule out the use of prescription drugs but it does encourage trying natural methods first. Harsh drugs are only used as a last resort. Those who practice holistic methods of health care, also encourage full participation and responsibility for their own health care by their patients. They don't condone a bad lifestyle by their patient and then just giving the patient a drug to help alleviate the symptoms of an ailment directly related to those poor lifestyle choices. Usually a holistic practitioner will try to help their patients achieve more balance between their physical, emotional, environmental, and spiritual lives to promote better overall health. It's about integrating the mind and body and how they can become balanced for better overall health. Many different approaches are grouped together under the holistic name, you've no doubt heard of many of them: acupuncture, yoga, massage, meditation, and aromatherapy are some of the most well known. Many people use these methods even when they don't have an illness. The idea is to prevent illness and not just cure one. That is another aspect of holistic methods of treatment that sets it apart from 'mainstream' medicine which only worries about curing a problem and not nearly as much about prevention. If you are concerned about the health and well being of you and your family you owe it to yourself to consider implementing holistic medicine practices into your life today. Don't wait until there is a problem, by starting now you may very well be able to prevent any illnesses from occurring in the first place.

What Is Hormonal Hair Loss? Can It Be Controlled?

People lose hair for various reasons. Illness and medication, like chemotherapy to treat cancer, can cause hair loss. Hair loss can also be inherited from a parent. Often, hair thins because it is fine-textured, or because too many harsh chemicals have been used on it, so it breaks easily. What if I have hormonal hair loss? The following photos show typical female hormonal hair loss patterns. Typical female baldness begins with a generalized thinning of the whole scalp. Contrary to male pattern baldness is that no receding hairlines or hair loss on the crown takes place. A generalized thinning of the hair occurs. It is seldom that a man displays the same type of hair loss pattern as a woman The thickened hair root prevents the hair bulb from returning back to its place in the skin. Because of this, new hair will be produced, but will not be able to settle. The growth phase will then be disrupted and the hair bulb will continuously produce new hair, which, instead of lasting the normal five years, will only become a few weeks or months old. Now you have constant hair loss! Personally, I prefer products by L'Oreal, such as Excellence. It's easy on the hair. It never made my hair feel any thinner and adding some auburn highlights to my brown hair always makes me feel like a new person. Because my hair is fine, I never use the enclosed conditioners with hair color products. Hair conditioners often make fine hair feel thinner and unmanageable. On the other hand, if you do want to use some conditioner, use only a fraction of what's recommended! And never use conditioners on your scalp, just put some at the hair ends. Another great product that I highly recommend is Rogaine. Rogaine has gained a reputation of being able to reverse the hair thinning process! Bottom line: While we're feeling the way we do during the menopausal years, I think it's important to try anything to help ourselves feel and look better. Now that you know a little more about what are the causes for hair loss, we urge you to find out more about how hair loss, or hair thinning can be prevented! Yes, it is true, there are many effective products on the market right now which has been proven to be truly effective in reversing thinning hair problems!

What Is The Most Common Attention Deficit Disorder Symptom

What is the most common attention deficit disorder symptom? There are many symptoms that can lead to a diagnosis of ADD or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and many of these are used to diagnose other conditions as well which makes diagnosis challenging. How can you tell if you or a loved one has ADD? Obviously, the final diagnosis comes after an evaluation by a skilled professional, but the hallmarks of ADD/ADHD include similar childhood symptoms and persistent adult symptoms that interfere with work and relationships, all throughout life: If a child has ADD/ADHD, even if he/she is officially diagnosed, he/she is at risk for having ADD/ADHD as an adult. A child with ADD/ADHD usually demonstrates symptoms of not being able to sit still, listen or follow directions, no matter how clearly they are presented. He/she may constantly fidget and tend to blurt out inappropriate comments at inappropriate times. Or he/she may just appear to always be "spaced out" or daydreaming (more common in girls than in boys with ADD). In adults, the difficulty of being able to concentrate and organize becomes more prevelant than in children. Adults with ADD/ADHD have an extremely hard time concentrating. They can't follow conversations and continue to unintentionally zone in and out. Finishing tasks might feel impossible, although they may have started many. ADD causes adults to get very easily distracted or forgetful, which then leads to errors or incomplete work. Another attention deficit disorder symptom affects organization. Keeping things in place both at home and work could be an enormous challenge for someone who suffers from ADD. So, they are usually viewed as just being overly messy. In children, hyperactivity, another symptom of ADD, can be pretty obvious to identify - a hyperactive child may bounce around a lot and never sit still, even when seated. But in adults, hyperactivity manifests itself differently. Often adults with ADD get easily bored, irritated and experience mood swings. They tend to be restless and full of nervous energy and just unable to relax, making quiet activities seemingly impossible. Some also feel the need to talk continuously. Another symptom is trouble controlling impulses. In children with ADD, impulsitivity is seen when they blurt out answers or constantly interrupt others' conversations or activities. An adult with ADD might have a hard time managing finances due to their impulsive purchases. Impulsitivity also affects decision-making. Someone with ADD might have a pattern of making sudden decisions ?on a whim? or have trouble listening to others. If someone with ADD/ADHD remains untreated, the disorder can disrupt everything from his/her career to relationships, health and financial stability. While most of us sometimes have challenges in these areas, the persistent chaos and disorganization of ADD/ADHD can make managing the problems worse and worse. While much is still being learned about ADD/ADHD and how to tackle one attention deficit disorder symptom at a time, we see that there are also positive traits associated with this condition. Impulsivity, boundless energy and the tendency to switch tracks constantly may turn into creativity, flexibility, the ability to rapidly adapt to new information or tremendous drive and commitment.

Women Can Relieve Stress-Find The Information On How

I think we can all agree that we live in a stressful society. While both men and women suffer from stress,women may have a little more stress to deal with than men. There are unique challenges that make it important to find information on how women can relieve stress. When you have the situation where a women works and is also a mom, she will have demands coming at her from all angles. Her boss, her husband, her children, her household will all take a toll on her stress level. That's a lot for any person to handle at one time and it is very important that she take care of herself as well as her health so that she can meet the demands. There are many techniques for relieving stress that a woman could start right away, I will list some of the more popular ones below: 1. It is okay to say no. Women often try to take care of those around them and forget to care for themselves. You may have a big heart but you do not have a lot of time. There are times when you won't be able to chaperon a field trip or make cookies for the school bake sale. In many cases women are the primary care givers in a household and many times they feel as if they let those around them down if they don't jump up to take care of everyone. If you care for yourself first then the rest tends to follow. Think of this, when you are on an airplane the flight attendant will tell you to put an oxygen mask on yourself before helping any other people. In the real world you should do the same. Learn to say no. That is one of the most important things a woman can learn. 2. Take a walk. Take yourself on a hike, a walk, a swim, a jog, or a bike ride. Take time to exercise. Exercise will help clear your mind,blow off steam and keep you healthy. Many women have a hard time voicing their frustration because we are not brought up to get angry and show it, however strenuous exercise added to your daily routine can help with anger. Working out and exercise is a great way to work off stress. 3. Get Selfish. This step is related to step 1 and what I mean is that you need to take time to do things for yourself. Go have coffee, meet with friends, get yourself a massage, etc. Make sure that your time is a priority not just when you have time to do them. Set an hour or one day per week to have a little fun. Do something for yourself without feeling any guilt. You have earned that time. If you follow this information on how women can relieve stress and use it, you will see many benefits including, lower blood pressure, a raise in your spirits and a happier family.

Women With Attention Deficit Disorder - Is This Me

Due to a variety of circumstances, it's sort of been the norm that women with attention deficit disorder are overlooked and undiagnosed. Common wisdome is that ADD is more prevalent in men and boys than in women and girls. If you are a women who feels stressed out, distracted, overwhelmed, with too many responsibilities and no time for sleep or friends then you too have some of the symptoms of ADD. But what woman doesn't feel like that these days? It's precisely for this that it's so hard to diagnose ADD in women. Women with ADD were once girls with ADD but since girls tend to display the "inattentive" versus the "hyper" type of behavior, they may have gotten by early on due to structure imposed by school.. Girls tend to be more protected and their lack of accomplishments may not be quite as much a concern to the adults around her. Problems tend to arise as the responsibilities increase. Women in our societies are expected to organize for the men and kids around them. A man with ADD usually just replaces his parents and teachers with secretaries and wives while Women are still expected to be those organizing secretaries and wives. Here are some common characteristics of women with attention deficit disorder that is undiagnosed or untreated: 1. They feel depressed. ADD can lead to chaos in many aspects of their lives and they get discouraged when losing the battle with their hectic lives. 2. Some feel like they are capable of so much more and this is frustrating. They are often creative and intelligent but have a hard time harnessing those qualities and focusing them on plans or goals. 3. Others feel incompetent. They internalize their chronic disorganization and resulting failures. 4. Some manage successful professional lives but they break down at home. They are unable to take care of basic things like errands and bills. Still others have to spend tons of extra time and effort just to be able to match their co-workers. 5. They may feel immature because they can't reach the normal goals of adulthood due to their disorganization. 6. They feel overwhelmed. 7. They could may feel constantly bombarded by their daily enviroment, unable to stay focused because they are constantly distracted by even the littlest noises, sites, thoughts, etc. 8. They tend to move from one unfinished activity to another. 9. They have trouble planning, organizing, and prioritizing and often miss deadlines or have trouble gaging their time. 10. While they generate a flurry of ideas internally, they process information from the outside more slowly. 11. They spend a lot of time thinking about and trying new systems to get organized. The symptoms and signs in women with attention deficit disorder are very common in women without it too. ADD is also a subject that has gained more attention in recent years, leading many more people to ask themselves "is this me?" You can find some information online.

Yoga Exercise For Weight Loss Does It Work

If you think running is the only exercise that can help you lose weight, consider yoga exercise for weight loss. You might think of yoga as something you do while sitting still. It doesn't seem strenuous enough to help with weight loss, does it? Yoga can help you lose weight, no matter which kind of yoga you do. There are many different forms of yoga, and not all of them are the best exercise for weight loss if you do them and nothing else. But combined with other exercises, yoga can help speed your weight loss and more quickly improve your health. And then there are the forms of yoga that actually give you a great cardiovascular workout. These are more aerobic, and you will sweat when you do them. They raise your heart rate and your respiration because they are yoga poses combined with quicker movements. This type of yoga is often known as power yoga or hot yoga. Hot yoga is often done in a classroom setting in a room with a higher temperature than normal. This makes the yoga exerciser sweat more. Whether this wedding can help or not is a subject of debate. But the heart rate raising exercise definitely helps with weight loss. The form of yoga exercise that helps most with weight loss is called flow yoga, or more formally Vinyasa yoga. There are several different styles of yoga even under the Vinyasa umbrella. Hot yoga is this type of yoga done in a hot room, for instance. Of the different types of Vinyasa yoga exercise, one of the most popular is Ashtanga yoga. This form of yoga combines several very athletic movements. The poses are still the same as someone might do in a very calm and slow paced workout. The chief difference between traditional yoga poses in a workout of this type is the movements between the poses. Instead of holding a pose for a very long time and then slowly transitioning to a new pose, the poses are held more briefly. The movements between them are more athletic. If you've never done yoga before, don't try to start out with power yoga classes. Regular yoga in the beginner level will still help you lose weight. Yoga is excellent for making you more flexible and toning your muscles. You might look at yoga poses and think it couldn't possibly be exercise, but it is. Holding the poses requires muscle control and balance. Improving these things will help your body burn fat more efficiently. Traditional yoga also makes it easier for you to do aerobic exercise. The more you tone and sculpt your muscles, the stronger you become. You'll be able to do your aerobic exercises more easily and for longer periods of time. If you're familiar with traditional yoga and can do it fairly well, then try a beginner power yoga class. Taking a class is the best way to learn yoga exercise for weight loss, so you know you'll be doing it correctly.

Your Guide On How To Be Debt Free

Debt is something many people all over the world struggle with, and many want to know how to be debt free. In today's society you can't afford to spend cash on everything, and sometimes you have to use a credit card or get a loan. But if the unexpected happens and you're unable to pay back those debts it can spiral out of control. An illness, some time off from work or even an unexpected household repair that requires you to use your credit card can all be reasons for you to find yourself with more debt than you can handle. There are many options available to you such as debt counseling services, debt consolidation and even bankruptcy. But before you do anything that drastic take some time to try to fix your debt situation on your own. It is possible, even without adding income, to pay off your debt. It will take time and it will take discipline but if you are committed to living a life without any debt you can do it. Below is a step by step plan that will help you to get rid of all your debt. It isn't a quick fix, but it's realistic and has worked for thousands of people, and it can work for you too: 1) Make yourself a detailed list of all your debt. Add everything, even the smallest of debts should be added to this list. This list should include your monthly household bills (such as house payments, insurance, utility bills, etc etc etc) in one column and your debt in another column. 2) Make a very detailed budget for all your monthly expenses. Be sure to have enough so you are able to make at least the minimum payments on all of your debt. 3) From the lists above pick the smallest debt as your target. Pay as much towards this debt as you can without cutting payments on your other debts. Once you manage to pay off this debt completely, take that money and apply it to the next smallest debt. Keep doing this again and again until your debt is all paid off. Doing this will allow you to pay off all your debt, even if you can't get extra money coming in. This method works, it just takes discipline. You'll have to make sacrifices if you want to be debt free. That means making a reasonable budget and sticking to it. But if you stay disciplined, and keep at it, you will eventually find yourself out of debt which will bring you peace of mind and will make all the sacrifices seem worthwhile.

'But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather.' Of Aaron Swartz, 26, Internet visionary. Dead by his own hand, January 11, 2013.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant. Author's program note. Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman and Aaron Swartz had been an item for 18 months or so. She was sharply aware of the dark melancholy that could come at any time out of nowhere, seizing him, casting him into a despair without end, without mercy, without reason and with utterly no hope whatsoever. It was always frightening for both of them because it left both exhausted, anxious, never knowing when it might return... only to stay forever, locking her out and him within, lovers separated by bleak futility. So were their young lives and love blighted and made uncertain. On Friday, January 11, Taren was up, getting ready for work. Aaron was still in bed. Instinctively, she knew that if she could get him up, entice a little food in him, put a smile on his pale face, he was better positioned to meet another day and his particular demons. And so as she told The Boston Globe in a telephone interview, "I really tried everything I could think of to get him out of bed. I opened the curtains, played music, tickled him, and eventually it got to the point of throwing water on him." Nothing worked. She was terribly worried... knew he was in a "really difficult place" with his trial dead ahead... didn't want to leave him, was already late for work. He smiled and told her he needed rest, that he'd be fine, that he'd stay in bed and sleep. Yes, he'd be fine, urging her on her way. Then he smiled again, perhaps the last smile of his young life. So she smiled and shut the door. He and the melancholy he called "Raw Nerve" were now alone together... together with God Almighty, omniscient, omnipotent, omniparous... Throughout the morning, Taren texted him with affectionate messages and the ideas he loved. There was no answer, no response at all to the concern of his beloved. Nor to anything else. Aaron, firebrand, computer prodigy, revolutionary, lover of humanity, seeker after truth... was already beyond the cares of men, free of even the miseries that had assailed him just minutes before, turning life into unendurable burden. At last, and by his own determined hand, he was at peace... the countenance of God lighting his way, lightening his load; inscrutable no longer but welcoming, accepting, the God of eternal love. "I Dreamed a Dream." For this tale of our wired times and one of its gifted creators gone awry, now gone forever, I have selected one of the greatest achievements from the fertile partnership of Claude-Michel Schonberg (music) and Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel (lyrics). It is "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables" (1985). It is a tune that bites deep and makes the tears run hot and fast, for like Fantine we have all believed... and been disillusioned; loved and been abandoned; given and been spurned... ... oppressed by "dreams that cannot be And... storms we cannot weather." Thus we have all known our own particular version of Aaron Swartz' story... and can therefore attest to its validity... and its excruciating pain, searing, so fundamental a part of our human experience. You'll find many fine versions in any search engine. Go now... and let it move you. Aaron's story. Swartz was born November 8, 1986 in Chicago, the son of Susan and Robert Swartz. His father had founded a software company and from an early day young Aaron was obsessed by technology, http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 113 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation ardently studying computers, the Internet and its unique culture. When he was just 13, Swartz was a winner of the ArsDigita Prize, a competition for young people who created "useful, educational, and collaborative" Web sites. The prize included a trip to Cambridge, Massachusetts to the august Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Thus, unknowingly on both sides, did the protagonist of the tale, American computer programmer, writer, political organizer and Internet activist and the "scene of the crime" come together in an uneasy embrace, from which even death did not part them. MIT, of course, citadel of America's technical might and constant innovation, knew prodigies of course; they were common along Massachusetts Avenue in the inelegant concrete bunkers which disdained any grace or artistry whatsoever. Harvard students, on the other side of Central Square, might sniff and condescend to the "nerds" but these nerds wore their social awkwardness and bad manners like the red badge of courage. They knew that the planet's future and the well being of millions would be shaped by them, however socially inept, ill at ease, unwashed and disheveled they might be. Swartz, slight, a wisp of a lad, looking like a child up too late, hair an outrageous mop, eager to know you, befriend you, learn from you loved the 24-hour-a-day, projects-always-percolating environment. Its high energy, high stakes, high destiny lifestyle grabbed him like fly paper. He was to this manner born... and it took him, quirks and all, to its ample and exuberant heart. Aaron was home... "I dreamed a dream in days gone by/ When hope was high / And life worth living" To understand what happened next you must know something of the Internet, something of the tech community and something about MIT, at once corporate giant and bubbling cauldron of constantly new and exciting ideas. It is a place of the youthful enthusiasm that only comes once in life; a place where the best and the brightest constantly advance, discuss, shape and discard ideas, all night, all day, thereby inventing our future. It is a place where change, transforming change, is the object of the day and the ideas of the past, no matter how serviceable they may once have been, are derided as old hat and unapologetically cast aside, only to be replaced in their turn. Swartz loved this culture and its unending focus on making the world, in every aspect, better and better still. He approached this objective from many directions for he was a man glad to share, hoping you'd share with him as people were generally glad to do. Sharing, not selling, information became his mantra... and his downfall; increasingly because what he "shared" did not belong to him, was not his to give. In late 2010 and early 2011, Swartz downloaded about 4 million documents from the JSTOR ("Journal Storage") archives. In the process he crashed some of JSTOR's servers. By now a host of people were involved in this matter, including officials at MIT, JSTOR... and the FBI. On January 6, 2011 Swartz got the knock on the door he must have hoped would never come. He was arrested and charged by Carmen Ortiz, U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, with wire fraud, computer fraud, unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer and recklessly damaging a protected computer. This was a felony charge; the kind of charge major criminals get. Not least the kind of charge which, if proven, would deprive Swartz of his right to vote, give him up to 35 years in prison and a million in fines. All of a sudden the world was a very different place, threatening, ominous, determined to crush and http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 114 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation obliterate. "I had a dream my life would be/ So different from this hell I'm living." Once Swartz was arrested all the characters of the final chapter began to assemble... Aaron's lawyers and supporters... prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's office and other law enforcement agencies... representatives of JSTOR and MIT... partisans of the prosecutors who wanted to "make an example" and his supporters who cited his previous squeaky clean record and willingness to sign an agreement not to do anything like this again. But perhaps most important of all there was "Raw Nerve" which wiped out all hope and exacerbated all despair until Aaron Swartz bore only a semblance to the high energy, far seeing, joyful reformer he had once been, and not so long ago. Now was the moment for humanity... to read Swartz the riot act for he had transgressed... but without locking him away for even the four to six months proposed; convicted felon; no right to vote ever again. Now was the moment for empathy... for understanding... for an appropriate deal; a deal that would admonish Swartz without destroying him... for the nation needs such audacious thinkers with their profound knowledge of the Internet, its technology, and its burgeoning uses. Where was this person? How could so many who knew Aaron and his plight see him and yet fail to perceive his need... how could this happen? "There was a time when men were kind/ When their voices were soft/ And their words inviting... /There was a time/ Then it all went wrong." No more so than with Aaron Swartz.. Envoi, Aaron's words, his timeless warning to us... "And it will happen again; sure, it will have another name, and maybe a different excuse, and probably do its damage in a different way, but make no mistake, the enemies of the freedom to connect have not disappeared. The fire in those politicians' eyes has not been put out." Thus does dead Aaron Swartz, far too soon taken, show us what we must do. Now we must do it and keep the faith.

U.S. Presidential Libraries. Time for radical rethinking as "Hail to the Chief" gets way out of hand.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant. Author's program note. I admit it. I am a presidential buff. I have been for all of my 66 years. I like reading about them, can't get enough of their early lives, campaigns, policies and peccadilloes, and the tragedies and obsequies which I regard with the same high seriousness and reverence as my own family's. For make no mistake about it, for most of us presidents are the Fathers of the Nation and deserve the admiration, consideration and respect we give our own fathers. And it is because of this admiration and respect that I advance the audacious proposals of this article, for it is past time to scrutinize and re-think the matter of the presidential legacies called Presidential Libraries and Museums. For you see they are, as they stand today, obsolete, expensive, white elephants, inconvenient, grossly inadequate to the task they must perform but cannot perform under the present inefficient system which has grown up like Topsy without vision, efficiency, sufficient financing, organization and maximum utility. In short the "system" is a mess, more muddled with each new president's addition of his library, the ultimate presidential "entitlement" of all. Here, now I draw the line: Presidential ego (none more bloated anywhere on earth) must give way to public instruction and utility. But before we begin, here's the peppy campaign song I selected to accompany this article. It appears in no presidential library because none of the three presidents mentioned in it have such libraries. And that, of course, is just one more reason why the present flawed, inadequate, incomplete system ignoring most presidents, must be reconstructed for the benefit, first and foremost, of the presidential institution; the executive branch of our tri-partite government. Such an institution must be a testament, an ornament, a monument to the presidency itself, infinitely more so than merely to the men who have, for a time, held the high office and wrestled with certain events occurring during their administrations, events which might very well have had, most likely did have their roots in earlier administrations and their conclusions still later, in others. Intricate problems, intractable, interminable, incontrollable demand the talents of many presidents; to truncate such matters into one administration, one president warps, distorts and misrepresents history. Events must never be boxed into terms for mere ease but must be presented as they developed through the several presidents involved in each. In such a way is history best served as well as the various presidents who had a hand, deft or otherwise, in making it. Now the tune... "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too", originally published as "Tip and Ty" was a very popular and influential campaign song of the Whig Party's colorful Log Cabin Campaign of 1840. With its catchy lyrics (and unlimited hard cider) it helped end the era of President Andrew Jackson and his hand-picked successor Martin Van Buren, ridiculed as a small man, effete, with small ideas, rumored to wear scent and a girdle. Find it now in any search engine and enjoy its infectious rhythms. "What's the cause of this commotion, motion, motion/ Our country through?/ It is the ball a-rolling on/ For Tippecanoe and Tyler too/ For Tippecanoe and Tyler too/ And with them we'll beat little Van, Van, Van/ Van is a used-up man."

He, too, warranted nothing more upon his death in 1862 than a respectable monument in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, engraved with suitably sonorous sentiments. His private residence Sherwood Forest is still owned by his family, who, from their own resources, make the nation's longest frame house open to the public. Because he died an avowed secessionist and supporter of the Confederacy, he was dropped from the honorable roll of American presidents, for all that he had tried, right into Abraham Lincoln's early days as president to preserve the Union. When Virginia seceded, he went with her and so became a traitor, and that was that. The man they defeated, Van Buren, ended up with an historic property called "Lindenwald" near Albany. It is thread bare and artifact-less to a degree. The day I visited with a friend, we were the only visitors. The park ranger asked if we might like to purchase Van Buren's heavily ornate early Victorian dining table. He wasn't kidding. It sold at auction in New York just a few months later! The administrators couldn't raise the few bucks needed to keep it in situ and so created another problem screaming for prompt resolution. With any luck one fine day His Excellency's dining table and chairs will return to Old Kinderhook. Brief history of the U.S. presidential library system. The presidential library system is a nationwide network of 13 libraries administered by the Office of Presidential Libraries, which is part of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). These are repositories for preserving and making available the papers, records, collections and other historical materials of every President of the United States since Herbert Hoover. Just 13 libraries, you say; what happened to all the other presidents? Good question; without a good answer. Some presidents (but by no means all) have libraries and museums operated by private foundations, historical societies, or state governments. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is owned and operated by the State of Illinois, for instance. Thus some presidents are ignored, their deeds undervalued and forgotten whilst others reside through the years in elegance, luxury, their place in the nation's history secure and comfortably maintained. This is not right; it is not fair; and it does not do justice either to the presidents so poorly treated, if treated at all, or their individual and collective work. "Hail to the Chief has taken precedence over all and thus is the republic undermined and the imperial presidency built. It is time to take a new look at the entire business of Presidential Libraries and Museums, ob ovo, "from the egg." For each addition to the present system only exacerbates its inefficiencies and makes the inadequacies even more glaring than they already are. What needs to be done... and at once. First, President Obama, the next slated for elevation to library and museum sainthood, must say "basta" to the nation, that enough is enough; that he is willing, in the greater interests of the nation and his office, to forego perhaps its greatest perquisite... ... That instead, he will use his position, his clout, his undeniable fund raising skills to create a new kind of museum with the explicit role of explaining and exalting the presidency, not just the presidents, much less just a handful of them. This new institution, placed in a plum position in our great capital, would exist first of all to explain what our citizens need to know about the executive office and how it works. It is a scandal how little our citizens currently know about this essential function; a living, breathing, changing institution can change all that.

LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation How? Look to the video games of our youngest citizens for inspiration. Their computer role plays, simulations, combats, interactions, holographics and strategies point the way to what must be done... and can be done if President Obama will lay down ego and take this opportunity to advance the greater good. He is now uniquely placed to make this decision and give the Great Republic a unique gift that will benefit the nation and all its citizens whilst giving him another historic role and feature. If he takes the long view, and not the selfish one, he will make the right decision....

1965. My year in the heartland. 'It's still not too late to leave, Laddie.' 'Count me in.'
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant. Author's program note. I am still unclear even after all these years how I ended up at Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa (founded 1853). But it probably went something like this. My grandmother Lura Marshall Lant graduated from Knox College (founded in 1837) in Galesburg, Illinois; it was in the same Midwest conference of fine small liberal arts colleges as Coe (founded 1851) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa where my mother went. And Grinnell (1846), in Iowa, too, where I was advised to apply but wasn't accepted. So Cornell may have been chosen because they made my hard-working dad a better deal, which amongst other things included a job for me on the cafeteria clean-up crew (called "Slobs") paying some 28 cents or so per hour, maybe less. The summer of '65. Cornell was the kind of genteel institution of high standards and moral rectitude which expected you to read a series of improving books on timely topics before classes began; so you hit the ground running in September. In those turbulent days, the Great Republic's race relations were front and center, especially after the Watts section of East Los Angeles exploded into a galloping inferno; the summer reading list was heavily tilted to the bitter quandary of Black and White. Unexpected "expert". Because I had just graduated from University High School in West Los Angeles I found myself in the unaccustomed position of being sought out as an expert on the Gordian Knot of America's racial puzzles currently playing out in the dangerous streets of the City of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels where mayhem raged from August 11-17, 1965; 34 dead, over $40 million in property damage; the nation appalled, outraged, anxious, uncomprehending. I never said that I had not, to that date, met a single Black person and that my upbringing had been as lily white and unexceptional; as racially clueless as the rest. This silence was taken as evidence of a modesty so admirable in the young; that I knew more than I would say; and had been more affected by the horrifying events than I would admit. Thus did the silence of discretion bestow stature... which a shy, "ah shucks" smile and undoubted charm only enhanced. My byline on every door step. What enhanced it more was the fact that I was the only freshman whose name was known in advance to the entire Cornell community, thanks to my regular column in "The Cornellian". To get it, I sent Editor Marty Malin a raft of my columns from my high school newspaper "The Warrrior" of which I was sometime Editor-in-Chief. In the best traditions of Yankee journalism I was retained at once... copy needed at once for the frosh orientation edition.... delivered at once; ontime and length perfect, for these are marks of my pride and reliability. Thus I became the most well-known of students, even before my nervous classmates arrived for an orientation which I no longer needed. Their open papers with my new column prominently featured gave me a thrill I can acutely recall to this very hour and which has never lost its savor. But all was not smooth... The first fly in the ointment (and the insectile imagery is most apt) was my Guild Hall roommate; http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 119 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation (name withheld to protect the guilty). Per college directive, we exchanged "get acquainted" letters during the summer, the better to commence and build the cordial relationship alma mater expected from two bright young men carefully selected to room together in the Honor Residence for Men and so bond for a lifetime of fund raising pleas and auld lang syne events of the "gaudeamus igitur" variety. My mother, with her well-honed people-reading skills put paid to that notion: "He looks like a pompous twit fortified by bigotry". And of course she was right... The first thing this porcine paragon said to me, the very first, was "Los Angeles is today's Sodom and Gomorrah. So are its people scourged for their sins." And that was the high point of our "relationship." It says volumes that this allworthy became the first member of our class to become a Trustee of Cornell and to otherwise rise high amongst those of doctrinal certainty with direct pipelines to God. Of course this insufferable prig had to be punished... and by now I had a kindred spirit to help me dream up and administer suitable penalties, always designed for maximum impact and complete deniability. Lance Neckar. When you meet your kindred spirits the correct procedure is to whoop for joy and give them hugs of unstinting gratitude and glee. For make no mistake kindred spirits are a major reason why life is worth living, even at its most bleak. Kindred spirits, you see, need no introduction; no owner's manual. You understand them... they understand you... They are more precious than rubies, more desirable than gold. They must be loved, cherished and kept contented for the well-lived life always depends to a considerable degree on... them. Lance Neckar was a kindred spirit and I treasured him accordingly, not least because of his deft assistance with the plump bump who needed to be removed from the dormitory room he foolishly believed was half his, whilst I persisted in believing he was an unwanted (infuriatingly tidy) squatter whose tenure must be abbreviated and at once. Of course I applied to the necessary authorities who delivered the usual judgements; viz. that my esteemed roomie was a paragon; that such paragons were rare as unicorns and should be humored, embraced, deferred to, even adulated; not cast away by the likes of me. And, not least, that he and I were "brothers", hand picked by Cornell's administrators as certain future leaders, hence the adamant need to work together for the common good. Blah, blah, blah. It was clear extra curricular steps were necessary and at once. Thus Lance and I set to our work immediately and with a song in our hearts. About Guild Hall. Guild Hall, Honor Residence for Men, was not only unique to Cornell; it may very well have been unique to the nation. Whereas all other residences were monitored and guarded by old dragons called "house mothers", given the honorific "Ma" before their surnames; Guild had no such figure. Located off the campus, we were entirely self governing; a privilege bestowing pride and responsibility. It was an honor indeed. Whereas other boys might be boisterous and high spirited, prone to outbreaks of hormones and hijinx, all we young princes of the realm were always calm, respectable, causing absolutely no trouble whatever, just unadulterated good sense and reasoned measures. And as for brains, why the minutes of our monthly meetings were rendered in poetic pentameters. I am not kidding. That is why no one suspected us when from the large striped awnings of Guild Hall we launched Operation Eradication... Fueled by need and the desire to enter the annals of prankdom, we learned the secrets of lacing young Tauby's bed with ice cubes one night, warm water the next, foul smelling stink weeds, the http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 120 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation olfactory pride of Iowa, and fouler smelling wash clothes; the secrets of emulating the midnight yelps and cautionary shrieks of predatory birds... and shuffling up stairs sounding like ancient gents with a full agenda of ill will and ample malice. We even filed a report with the college on our firm belief Guild was haunted, perhaps with the uneasy spirits who had once, when Mt. Vernon was a rail stop and Guild its hostelry, brought so much loneliness and unhappiness along with their sample cases. Yes, their ghosts abided... Against such strenuous and inventive measures, my soon-to-be-ex room-mate had no chance... and soon my kindred spirit moved in, a million laughs in his suitcase. But this and all the other goodies which emerged from my short stay at Cornell very nearly didn't happen. "Count Me In." My grandmother Victoria Burgess Lauing, for all that she spent most of her waking moments as a haus frau, had, when needed, a sharp sense of style. And because she loved me so, she dressed to the nines in a tailored suite (color her favorite mauve), obligatory diamond broach, and ordered her brand-new Oldsmobile immaculately clean. She insisted on driving me to college, the 245 miles from Downers Grove, Illinois. It was a great honor and I regarded it as such. But it almost upended the apple cart. You see, the actual town of Mt. Vernon, Iowa (population just 2593 in 1960) was not impressive; in fact, if you blinked you missed it... and thus was born in Grammie's voice a distinct sense of apprehension. This got worse when we stopped at what seemed to be the town's only eatery, for which the words "greasy spoon" would be a compliment, dead flies, slatternly, perspiring waitress, food that would haunt you through many a rest stop. Then she and with anguish in her voice said, "It's still not too late to leave, Laddie," using my childhood name. "We can turn around now and go home..." perhaps forgetting for a moment my "home" was now in Los Angeles. She missed me so.... Sympathy in the porch swing. "Count me in." My fate was now in the balance and perhaps I wavered, I cannot say. But then the president of Guild Hall came out to greet, first, Grammie, for stylish ladies in diamonds are worth the most amiable of greetings; then me. Grammie, charming as always, worried about me asked if he had a moment to talk. And so the two of them sat down on the old porch swing to determine my future. In a moment they were earnestly engaged, going a mile a minute, her hand in his. Then they were done and she beckoned me and whispered, "You're going to like it here. This nice young man will help you." And the "nice young man" nodded that he would and was as good as his word. I remember Harvey well and can now thank you from the unimaginable summit of 66 years and by reminding you of Gary Lewis and the Playboys and their1965 hit "Count Me In" which wafted through Guild's corridors that August day so long ago. "If you need someone to count on, count me in/ Someone you can rely on through thick and thin." You were the first of so many Cornellians I met who helped make it all so very, very good.

Beauty Tips To Help You Improve Your Looks

Enhancing your beauty can either be an intelligent professional move or a fun personal regimen. It does require some effort to work properly though. This can make you wonder where to begin to start creating a regimen that works for you. Everything you need to know about where to start with beauty is listed in the tips below. Drink enough water. Every cell in your body needs water to function; in fact, the human body is 60 to 70% water. If you aren't drinking your eight to ten glasses of clean water daily, you are putting yourself at risk for dry, flaky skin as well as lifeless hair and brittle nails. Drink up and look your best. For women trying to hide their freckles, the best thing you can use is a concealer that is a shade lighter from your foundation. Getting a concealer that is too dark will just make your face a little darker than it should be. Just add a small amount to your finger and rub it in. Always remove your makeup before you go to bed. After a long, stressful day, it can be tempting to just slip into bed without taking the time to remove your makeup. However, sleeping with your makeup on can cause numerous problems including acne, blackheads and dry skin. By taking just a few minutes before bed to remove your makeup, you can keep your skin clear, healthy and moisturized. After waxing any part of your skin, it is important that you do not take a hot bath or shower right away. This can cause irritation because waxing leaves your pores wide open. Try waiting at least an hour before being exposed to any type of hot water at all. Spray mist over your face after you have your makeup applied. It will set the makeup and keep it where it should be much longer. This is a great method to use when you have a long day ahead of you like if it is your wedding day or you have a night out after work planned. If you are light skinned or have light hair you may want to consider tinting your eyebrows. This will enhance the color of your eyebrows and will draw attention to your eyes and brows. You can tint your eyebrows by yourself and can find the the tint at most beauty stores. Stand up straight. Standing up straight, with your shoulders back and down and your chest out, makes you look better. It gives you the appearance of having lost weight and makes you look confident. Try it in the mirror and you'll see how much better you look when you just correct your posture. If your tendency to bite your fingernails is a nervous habit, try taking up a hobby that is sure to keep your hands busy and occupied during your downtime. This could be knitting, sketching, or even doing crossword puzzles. This can save your nails while you watch television, movies, or lounge around the house. Never ever apply a tanning lotion when you are in a hurry as this will always lead to disaster! This is one beauty item you really need to take your time with otherwise you end up looking freaky, so smooth the tanning lotion well over elbows, knees and feet and wash your hands thoroughly to avoid streaking. Use your tanning lotion well in advance of sleeping to prevent a complete botch job and well in advance of any special occasion, just in case! So, as you have seen, it is true that beauty requires research, practice, and effort to start seeing what it can offer you. It is also true that in order to see results, you have to keep at it. Keeping the aforementioned tips in mind, you are well on your way to being successful with it.

Depression And Lack Of Sleep Will Undermine Any Beauty Regimen

When people think of beauty, many times they thing of prettiness and loveliness. Beauty is not only on the outside, and it is a very subjective thing. At the same time, doing your best to be beautiful is something that any woman can do with ease. Here are some tips all about beauty. Use steam to refresh your face. Steam releases the impurities in your pores, and you don't need to go to a sauna. A bowl or other container of hot water and a towel are all you need; just hold your head over it and let the piping hot steam redeem your skin. As part of your beauty routine, buy high quality makeup brushes. High quality brushes contain fine hairs, which will make your cosmetic application even. They are also soft on the skin, so you can avoid those micro scratches that can lead to wrinkles and blemishes. A high quality set will cost more, but it is well worth the investment. If you feel as though you are having one off day you shouldn't fret. There are some aspects that are out of your control which will affect your daily appearance. One of the biggest variables is the weather and a humid day can wreck havoc on someone, especially a woman who has larger hair. To make close set eyes appear further apart, apply your eye makeup so it is heaver on the outer edges of your eyes. Use light eyeshadow on the inner half of your eyes and darker shadow on the outer half, blending the two together seamlessly in the middle. Then, to finish off the look, apply your eyeliner and mascara so that it is heavier at the outer corner. This will give the illusion that your eyes are set further apart. Use a brow gel to stimulate growth in sparse eye brows. Whether you have naturally sparse brows or got a little overzealous with the tweezers, a brow gel can help grow hair back. Look for one that has added protein. In the meantime, use fillers to shade the thin areas. Look for a concealer palette that comes with two different shades of concealer. This allows you to blend a perfectly customized shade that will melt flawlessly into your skin. Use small dabbing and patting motions to apply the concealer over red areas, broken capillaries, and any other marks or discolored areas. If you have natural plum lips, it is unnecessary to wear lipstick. It will just take away from the unique feature that your lips already have. If you still insist on using lipstick, stick with a color that is a darker pink, and use a fine brush to apply a thin coat. You should consider tinting your eyebrows, if you are dealing with a combination of fair hair and fair skin. The eyebrows help to define and emphasize the face. If your skin is pale and your hair is light, you may be losing out on the potential benefits of your eyebrows. Use a subtle tint to improve your eyebrows' impact. To whiten and brighten your teeth, add a little baking soda to your toothbrush once a week. Just sprinkle a little baking soda in the palm of your hand, dampen your toothbrush and press the bristles into the baking soda, add toothpaste and brush your teeth as usual. Don't do this more than once a week since baking soda can be hard on your tooth enamel if overused. While beauty says nothing about who you are as a person, it never hurts to put some effort into looking your best. Apply the tips that this article has given to you. Just remember not to go overboard, because being beautiful is not the most important thing in the world.

Herbal Teas And How They Can Make You More Beautiful
When people think of someone that is beautiful, many times it is based on inner beauty as well as outer beauty. Both of these things are in your control to change. You really need to have both to look your best. Here are some tips to get you started on your own personal beauty adventure. Commit to drinking enough water every day. You need to drink eight to ten glasses a day for maximum beauty benefit. Being hydrated will help you look younger, and will also help you keep in better overall fitness. Do not neglect yourself and you will have great results from any beauty program. Always ask for samples of skin care products and makeup when visiting your favorite beauty supplier. Most major department stores have baskets full of samples that they do not put out because too many would take advantage. Customer service personnel are always happy to give samples to those who ask and the samples allow you to try before investing in the latest product. When you are on the go, be sure to pack a few Q-tips in your purse along with a packet of bamboo blotting sheets. This way, you can refresh the look of your makeup and preserve the look of your beauty. Blotting with the bamboo sheets removes excess oils that make you look shiny, and Q-tips can touch up your eye makeup or lipstick in a pinch. Everyone loves the way a perfect sheer nails look, with long and tapered nails, but this is very expensive to keep up and takes a lot of time and patience. For an elegant look without all the fuss of expensive and painstaking upkeep, try using a short, round, and dark nail shape. File the nails so they are in line with the tip of the finger and round off near the corners. If you are interested in speeding up your metabolism and losing weight as quickly as possible, you should make sure to include ginger in your diet. Ginger, in addition to fighting infections and detoxifying the body, warms you up and increases your body's metabolism rate. Try adding a few slices of ginger to your morning tea and see if it helps you to lose weight. If you love the brightness of red lipstick, but hate how it looks when it smears, then you should keep some makeup remover handy. If the dreaded smear ever happens, use a cotton ball or tissue dipped in makeup remover to erase the stain. Now you won't have to worry what color lipstick you choose for the day. Beauty is in the details, so you may have to spend a little bit of time on the small things that are often overlooked. This could mean using a good exfoliant in the shower or learning the correct way to shave your face or your legs. These small things add up to a much better you. Love the feel of waxing but hate the pain? When waxing at home, a half hour before doing the wax, apply a tooth-numbing cream to the areas that are going to be waxed. This will numb the skin temporarily and make the waxing much less painful yet will not damage or hurt your skin. You learned from the beginning of this article that is important to have both inner beauty and outer beauty to be considered truly beautiful. You may appear pretty at first, though if you have a bad personality, your beauty will wear off very quickly. Take the advice this article has given you to take your beauty to the next level.

Gourmet Coffee Beans And The Magical Flavors To Experience

If you drink coffee and have ever stopped to look at the different types of gourmet coffee beans, you might want to actually give some a try next time you're shopping for coffee. Instead of grabbing that huge tube of ground coffee, the same brand you've been purchasing and drinking for years, or instead of grabbing that more expensive, smaller tub of ?gourmet? ground coffee, break out of your coffee rut and give beans a try. Some people already own a coffee grinder, or remember when their parents used to purchase beans and grind them at home. Some stores still have a grinder right in the coffee aisle. The beans our parents purchased and ground were usually not gourmet coffee beans, it was simply cheaper to buy the beans and grind them yourself. If you don't have a grinder at home, coffee grinders aren't expensive. You'll enjoy the smell of freshly ground coffee beans. While some savor that rich smell when they open a tub or brick or pre-ground coffee, once you've inhaled the aroma of freshly ground beans, that tub coffee won't ever smell quite the same to you. Some people are who are very choosy when it comes to coffee purchase several different types of beans and combine them in certain combinations to get the coffee taste they want. Most of us probably aren't going to take the time to do that. We know what we like when we drink coffee, and we know what we don't like. In that case, gourmet coffee beans can be ideal because they're already specially chosen and designed to offer up a richer, more complex taste that that bag of coffee beans you can purchase at your local A & P. You don't have to purchase the same old beans or ground coffee from your supermarket. You can break out of that habit a little with gourmet coffee beans you can buy online. You'll find blends of different beans like the almighty Arabica, Jamaican, Columbian and many others, as well as beans that are infused with different flavors. You can find beans that will give your coffee a chocolate flavor, or hint at fruit or vanilla, or almost anything you can imagine. When you're looking at gourmet coffee beans, you literally hundreds of choices, and that choice can seem almost overwhelming. Most places that offer this many choices have information about different types of coffee beans, roasting times, flavors and hints of flavor and general coffee information to help you choose which type of coffee beans to purchase. And don't forget the people you buy for. Coffee lovers can truly appreciate a thoughtful gift of gourmet coffee beans. If you're unsure whether they grind their own beans, you can purchase the beans whole and grind them just before gift-giving. While gourmet pre-ground coffee can also be a thoughtful gift, whole beans will give the person on your gift lift the freshest coffee experience possible, and put you at the top of their list.

Spring Time And Flowers For Fragrence and Color

One of the great beauties after a long, cold winter are flowers in spring. The beauty of flowers doesn't just start and end with what you can see, the vibrant colors, it can also be traced to the smell. Adding bouquets of flowers to your home can add color and fragrance, just what we need first thing in the spring. Most of us think of flowers solely as some indulgence for a special occasion or to wish someone well when they are having a big day, or a bad day. But the truth is that flowers can not only add beauty to your home and property, great landscaping can even add value to your home. Many types of flowers in spring bloom from bulbs. Often, these bulbs are actually planted in the fall. If you are thinking about sprucing up your yard for next spring, here are some early spring bloomers to give you a place to start: 1. Tulips are probably one of the best known of the spring flowers. They come in many colors and sizes and they are one of the early bloomers in the spring. You can easily make a whole flower garden just focusing on the various colors and heights of tulips. Seeing the beautiful colors first thing in the spring can do a lot to brighten an decor, landscape or mood. 2. Daffodils are also a very popular early spring flower. They come in over 200 varieties and are bulbs that are planted in the fall. Two of the most popular colors are yellow and white, you have probably seen these flowers often in the spring but maybe just didn't know what they were. These flowers will continue to bloom for up to six weeks. These flowers are easy for beginners to grow. The one tip you need to remember is to not plant them near evergreens since the evergreen will leach a lot of the nutrients from the soil making it harder for the Daffodils to grow. 3. Irises will bloom anytime between April and June. They come in multiple heights and colors so you can add several varieties to your border for a beautiful look with multiple colors. They don't require any special soil or a lot of maintenance so they are a great flower for the new gardener. Just make sure the soil is well drained, that's all you need to really worry about. With any of these flowers, you can cut them and make gorgeous bouquets for your home all season long. Adding one or more of these flowers to your borders and to your home can add a lot of color and beauty, and who wouldn't want that? Flowers in spring are a great way to welcome the new season and shake of the blues and the blahs of the long cold winter. Anyone who lives in a colder climate always looks forward to some beauty and heat. While flowers may not really provide a lot of heat, they sure can provide color. It also can life the spirits of all of us winter weary people.

Vacation For Spring Break-Not Just For College Kids

Every year spring rolls around and people everywhere decide to take a little break. Spring break is primarily when the college kids take their break, as it is famous for. But a lot of people, not just those in college, use this time to take a breather and rejuvenate themselves. So whether you are a college student struggling to get by, or simply someone living paycheck to paycheck, affording a good spring break can be a real challenge. Even if you are struggling financially, there are still ways that you can go on Vacation for spring break. While you may have to make sacrifices and while it may not be as grand as you might like, even a small breather can make a world of differences and is often well worth it. If you are looking for ways to afford a good spring break get away, then here are some tips that might help. 1: Go over your monthly expenses and try to see if there are any places where you can cut corners. A lot of people will spend more money then they realize. A lot of small stuff throughout the month can really add up. So if you have any of these extra expenses, try to cut back on them and put that money towards your vacation. The more money you can save, the grander the vacation can be. 2: Before spring break even rolls around, try to book all the reservations you want. Spring break is a busy vacation season, so getting reservations for a Vacation for spring break can be more then a little difficult, and pricey. If you book your flight and hotel in advance, you can safe a lot of money. 3: Avoid eating out and try to find a hotel with it's own kitchen, or at least one with kitchenettes in the rooms. Eating out at restaurants is one of the most expensive aspects of any vacation, so if you can cut this out you can have more money for doing other things. If possible, try to buy basic supplies from local convenience stores. Like a loaf of bread and some sandwich stuff. 4: Try going with a group if at all possible. Whether it is your buddies from college or simply your family, if you can go in a group you can often get discounts on things like hotels and planes. This is especially important for those college students out there, as a lot of times you will meet your friends at your destination. But if you travel together, it is a lot cheaper. Planning a Vacation for spring break can be tricky. It is a popular vacation season and so most travel oriented things like hotels and plane tickets are more expensive and harder to come by. But if you plan ahead and are smart with your finances, you can get that vacation that you need with a very minimal impact on your bank account. This allows you to have the break that you deserve and need.

Warehouse Clubs Are The Place To Buy Coffee For Less

If you want to buy coffee for less, you could join a warehouse club and buy a case of the same old coffee you buy at the supermarket. You'll get a discount ranging from a few pennies to several cents per can. You could buy cheap, store-brand coffee and hope that when you get it home and brew it that you'll actually be able to drink it. Or you could switch to a slightly cheaper name brand than the one you typically drink, and hope you like it. You can forget about buying specialty coffees or coffee in a coffee shop if you're interested in saving money on coffee. But it's not impossible to buy coffee for less money if you know where to look. Online coffee stores are a great option for coffee lovers. Not only can you save money on everything from your everyday brand to your favorite gourmet coffee, but you can shop a wide variety of different brands and types of coffee and save money while doing so. You won't have to hide the coffee pot when you have company to save money on coffee. Now you can benefit from the special things offered at online stores. Very often you can sign up for a mailing list so that the vendor can email you about their upcoming sales and special offers. When shopping at the online store, you use those codes to get discounts, buy-one-get-one-free offers or even outright free items, depending on that store's particular promotion. While these work like supermarket coupons, usually online ?coupons? and mailing list offers like these will get you coffee for less money and you don't even have to clip the coupon or use gas to drive to the store. Since there's not an actual building that has to be paid for to allow shoppers to come in and browse, that huge expense is eliminated. There's no need to buy insurance to cover the store against lawsuits if someone should be hurt on the property. There's no need to worry about the items in the store being shoplifted, or for the store to be robbed while it's closed. There are usually fewer employees in an online store because there's no need for someone to run a register or sweep up at the end of the day. You'll get coffee for less because there's simply no large overhead costs like those that are found in brick and mortar stores. Where online stores excel is their variety. There are no walls or limited shelf space to deal with. You can find coffee for less from all over the world, hundreds and hundreds of different varieties, all within one store. And because the costs of running an online store are so much less than a regular store, you can get even the most exotic and specialty coffee beans, coffee-making equipment, and the most expensive blends of coffee for less money than you'd probably pay at your local grocery.

Important message from the IRS to all taxpayers, 'tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999! You pay for everything but you can't come! Enjoy!'
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant. Author's program note. I was thinking of the Honorable Barack today and of how chagrined and irritated he must be these days. After all, having enjoyed the good fortune of drawing the hapless and terminally awkward Mitt-ster for his presidential opponent in 2012 and so walzing into a second term, he has been stymied by events, unable to spend quality time on his Most Important Project, the creation of a suitably grand and gaudy (immediately outmoded white elephant) library and museum which presents him to posterity as a figure of cosmic reverence and importance, a bloated evaluation most of his fellow Americans discarded as excessive and even ludicrous months ago. He doesn't care about that very much, of course. A giant foot print in indelible eternity is what he's got in mind. Sadly, he is having oodles of trouble getting it. Three scandals roiling His Excellency's serene self-absorption. It is said that bad news comes in threes, and I imagine Himself would agree about now. First, there's the nasty business of how we let down our envoy and all our embassy personnel and other nationals in Libya, thereby awakening to the sickening photo of Ambassador Stevens, one of the best and the brightest, dead, overcome not just by smoke inhalation but by sloth, inefficiency and breathtaking irresponsibility. This incident makes us indignant; it also makes us ashamed, for we all suspect that we were not ready for the kind of purposeful malice and destructive mayhem our common sense told us was inevitable against our embassies. And herein lies the crux of this matter. Who was responsible? What did they do? And why did it so fail leaving the flower of our diplomatic corps at such naked exposure and deadly risk? Riddle me this, Batperson. You will recall that when the attack on the Bengazi consulate took place, September 11, 2012, the first reaction from the administration was that it was anything other than what it actually was, a calculated act of terrorism to further satanize that date of infamy, September 11. Ambassador Stevens knew it... and his last message, by cell phone, was "We are under attack!" But the president and his top diplomatic team deemed this outrage merely a spontaneous "demonstration" and acted accordingly pooh poohing its significance... taking their own sweet time to act... our people dying because those charged with their protection didn't give it.... then lied to cover up their torpid, lethargic, entirely inadequate response. This is why the Benghazi matter is a scandal... and why the Republicans in Congress smell blood.... and why they'll continue until they get it. And right they are. Yet another email scandal... with many more to come. Let's get something straight from the start. Email by its very nature can never be entirely secure... can never be entirely private... yours to share with and only with the people you wish to share it with. We are just beginning to understand that email can never be just yours, sacrosanct and that, therefore, anything you use email to transmit is, from the moment you hit the send key, an object which others can access for good... or (temptingly) for anything but. Which brings us to the latest email scandal. It goes like this...

LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation The Honorable Barack pledges that his will be the most transparent administration in history, that all will be clear and plain, open to the good people of the Great Republic, blah, blah, blah. That was Barack #1. At the same time, Barack #2 was urging his friends, neighbors and political appointees to set up at least two email accounts, one suitable for the front page of The New York Times... the other, far more interesting and revealing, packed with the dynamite that makes Americans even more cynical about the government and its wayward ways and gives commentators like me our bread and butter. Enter two of the most important and potent letters on Earth, AP, the Associated Press. AP is arguably the most important news gathering service in the world, the people who do the hard work, the grunt work, the work that must be done to get the facts, ma'am, just the facts. People like me rely on them as the oxygen for keeping people up-to-date. Thus, when the Obama people decided to end run AP by setting up multiple email accounts they were not merely thwarting AP, they were thwarting you and me. But the folks at AP, the hero of this drama, are as tenacious and focused as they come. And when they got word that Obama appointees were being anything but transparent, they went to work with a will, using the Freedom of Information laws to open the secret accounts and bring accountability to all the poobahs who would only divulge under pressure. For of course when asked to open up, they hunkered down. After all, saying one thing and doing quite another is la specialite' of the (White) House. Why are the Obama people being so difficult, so obdurate? Not because evidence of any wrong doing has yet been found, for it hasn't. Rather, it's the principle of the thing: no one in the capital wants to be above board and honest; whatever they say. They come to win, not to get scout merit badges. Thus they reserve their God-given right to chicanery, skullduggery, and tergiversations great and small, in the process making a point of doing everything in their power to block the AP, the shining sword of a truth that is so often embarrassing to office holders who have very different agendas. That is why the Labor Department quoted AP a price of a cool million to research their records and turn over all email accounts of their senior officials. Stay tuned... there is much more to come in this matter... and as for the bomb shells to come from emails already written, I'm licking my chops for they will be rich and plentiful. You'll never get transparency from this or any other administration, but you can rest assured there will be one delightful email scandal after another, all cheap at a penny a dozen except the one blossoming at the Internal Revenue Service. And that'll set you back $50 million, give or take a buck. "So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999." It must be fun to work at the IRS. At the Cincinnati office, for instance, you get to function like a petty tyrant, determining whether by ineptitude or political point of view, which organizations get crucial 501(c)3 tax-exempt status and which ones (strangely enough mostly conservative, Tea Party related,) don't. Ah, there's nothing like power to enliven even the dullest job. This is part 1 of the hanky-panky currently under investigation by a committee of the House of Representatives. Part 2 are those IRS party animals who between 2010-2012 managed to burn through $50 million at what must have been the best parties on Earth! And for this, we need music. We need party music. We need Prince and his strident, pulsating anthem, "1999". It came out in 1982 and the world was soon dancing to its insistent beat and acid lyrics now so apropos to the current IRS fiasco. "People, let me tell you somethin'/ If you didn't come to party/ Don't bother knockin' on my door." Find it in any search engine. Then let 'er rip to just the right music for this delicious indiscretion. Let's take a look at how well they treated http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 135 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation themselves, particularly at one incredible bash held in Anaheim, California in August, 2010. While the Great Recession was hitting hard, these guys were lavishing gilded TLC on themselves, to the tune of $4 million with nothing but the best the order of the day. Here are the facts as exhumed by Representative Darrell Issa's (R-California) committee. Item: The IRS didn't negotiate lower room rates, though that is government policy. But why bother to save? That's so middle class, dear. Item: Some of the 2,600 attendees received benefits, including basketball tickets and stays in presidential suites that normally cost $1,500 to $3,500 per night. Item: 15 outside speakers were paid a total of $135,000 in fees, with one paid $17,000 to talk about "leadership through art". One might well wonder what that was all about. Of course the muckety-mucks that made these decisions are long gone; the current muckety-mucks have pledged "never again". But we the people know better, don't we? We know that the next scandal will be deju vu all over again. "But life is just a party/ And parties weren't made to last." Except, of course, at the IRS.

Thoughts on colonoscopy, homage to one of the greatest researchers, Marie Curie, and the colossal mistake the U.S. federal government is making in reducing the funding that improves life and enhances our planet day by day, discovery by discovery.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant. Author's program note. It is 5:27 a.m. here in Cambridge, where the invention of the future via research is our product, our pride, our unmitigated purpose... a place of assiduous effort, often lonely, frequently inconclusive, a place where the glory lies not just in achieving a goal but in knowing this achievement will be overtaken by others who will thereby advance truth and progress by using the fruit of every prior effort and exertion, just as those following them will advance beyond everything and everyone which came before, no matter how celebrated or useful in its time. "If I have seen farther," Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) famously said, "it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." In that single phrase lies the reason why Cambridge and all its myriad educational institutions exists and why we must assist and not diminish them, for their work is vital, necessary, where the collective brain power and untiring effort move us appreciably, minute by minute, to the perfection which should always be our chief human objective and unceasing mission. Research, improved procedures, improved outcomes, the gift of health, even the gift of life itself. I am about to undergo a medical procedure called colonoscopy. It is the third time in the last 13 years that my colon has been scrutinized, first by sigmoidoscopy, which is a partial procedure done while the patient is fully conscious, thereby able to see the entire matter first hand; twice by a complete colonoscopy, ten years ago for the first; the second taking place at 7 a.m. tomorrow, just 24 hours from now. I am therefore at work preparing for this procedure, each aspect the result of teams of physicians and medical researchers who have, bit by bit, improved what is done and the medical skills and tools necessary to achieve the desired result: quality and longevity of the most important thing we each have -- life itself. Since this life is so important, the very basis for our existence on Earth, we must encourage, exhort, sustain and venerate those who advance it, in both length and utility, and we must oppose, adamantly, vigorously, energetically, unfailingly, anyone in any situation who does anything to diminish and destroy it. As the great humanitarian Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) said, "Ehrfurcht vor dem leben", ("Reverence for life") must be at the heart of who we are and our every endeavor, particularly of the researches we undertake. Homage to Madame Curie, (1867-1934), "haunted by dreams, invincibly eager". This poetic description of Marie Skodowska-Curie comes from the 1943 MGM film starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon (as her husband Pierre), a film whose world-famous subjects ensured world-wide interest and acclaim. Consider the date of the film. Madame Curie's native country, the homeland she loved with all the high ardor and profound devotion found in every Pole, was seething under Hitler's savage rule, his intent nothing less than erasing her land and every person therein. Her adopted nation, la belle France, writhed under the Nazis, too; abashed, humiliated, mortified by events, mortified more by the collaborators who stained the glory of France with treachery and abiding ignominy. http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 137 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation In such a situation, the powers at MGM, many themselves emigrants from Europe, lucky to be alive, decided to throw down the gauntlet, to tell a tale that would rekindle hope, pride, and purpose in those dark days when the future was anything but halcyon and joyful. And so Greer Garson, who had transfixed the world with her characterization of Mrs. Miniver (1942), a lady whose innate decency, courage, and grace reminded us what we could do, might have to do in this world at war to inch towards victory and humanity, was tapped to bring Marie Curie, titanic, brilliant, heroic, enduring, tenacious to life. The Nazis had nothing like this, either in film, or more importantly in fact. The film, of course, awards galore, did what it was supposed to do, not least enthusing multitudes of young people, including a record number of young women, to enter the hard sciences of chemistry, physics, mathematics and all the others once reckoned the sole prerogative of men. Indeed, it is not too much to say that Marie Curie was the godmother of generations of women scientists who thrilled to her message, her serious intent, and the good work she did, the discoveries she made, the lives she changed for the better, without giving up her femininity, spouse, or family. It was an electrifying message for millions. It remains supremely relevant today and is still by no means universally accepted. The music. It is now time to introduce you to the music for this article, the most apt sound imaginable: the score to "Madame Currie". Composed by master Herbert Stothart, probably best known for writing "The Wizard of Oz" in 1939, the music that edged out "Tara's Theme" in "Gone with the Wind", arguably the best known movie theme ever written, for the Oscar. He had his work cut out for him for he needed a sound that was as beautiful as the science Madame Curie venerated and served, a pristine acolyte at the forge of truth and knowledge. Go to any search engine now and let the soaring sound by a composer of renown lift you... just as science and unending research lift our species... if we will but let them. Sadly, alarmingly these are now very much at risk. The little men and women of the Capitol are seeing to that, to the general desuetude and disillusion. The fatal axe called "sequestration", the despair of scientists and researchers, their important work for the Great Republic and every citizen at risk; the risk that comes when the scientific progress we all have the right to expect is curtailed by our own failure to act and so nurture and sustain it. It is well known that the federal government needs $1 trillion in budget cuts. What is far less well known is the devastation, the destruction, the ruination this will cause the scientific and research communities. Listen then to Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, who called 2013 the "darkest ever" year for the agency, whose budget is at its lowest inflation-adjusted appropriations level in more than a decade with all that means for scientists laid off, scientists (including the vital supply of young researchers) not hired, bold projects unstarted, bold projects left undone, the nation at terrible risk. Here are remarks by Steven Salzberg, the director of the Center for Computational Biology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, a well respected biomedical researcher. "Less science is getting done," he said. "That means cures won't emerge. Five years from now, when your aunt gets cancer and you can't do anything for her, people won't stop and think, 'Jesus, if we only hadn't had the sequester!'" Does this make any sense at all, or are we so far gone as a nation that we simply cannot be bothered to save the science and research which have the potential to save us all? Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be? Colyte, all through the night. While the politicians diddle, dawdle and duck the tough decisions, their irresolution, cowardice and http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 138 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation indecision thereby clouding our collective future, life goes on, not perhaps as good as it could be, but definitely better than it will be, if the sciences and their researchers are so dismissed, devalued, disdained. And so I follow the procedural guidelines to the very letter, afraid that any departure will obscure the result, perhaps resulting in the tragedy I most wish to avoid. The Day Of Your Test. 4-6 hours before your arrival time. 1) Drink one 8-ounce glass of Colyte every 10-15 minutes until the remaining half of the Colyte is gone. You may have to get up in the night to take this dose. You need to do this for a good preparation. 2) Immediately after drink 2 to 3 8 ounce glasses of Gatorade (preferred) or any clear liquid. 3) Continue to drink clear liquids until 3 hours before your scheduled arrive time. Do not eat any solid food. 4) Do not drink anything, including water, for 3 hours before your arrival time. And then it was time to leave, on a voyage discovering myself, hopeful but understandably nervous notwithstanding. I must have looked pale and wan for when I got out of the car, my driver Aime Joseph hugged me and said "Courage, mon ami," something he had never done before. Then, promptly, efficiently, professionally my Endoscopy Center team went to work. Receptionist Louise, perky and soothing at 6:30 a.m. Followed by Jack, the first nurse, friendly, focused, a man of ease putting me at mine. Then nurses Kathryn and Pat, smiling, reassuring, glad they said to have a patient as well prepared as I was, thereby assuring my regard and gratitude; finally, Dr. Lopes, brisk, amicable, explaining all as we went, master of his craft and of practiced patient care; the physician who gave me the news, all good, no cancer, no growth, no troubling polyps, good to go for another decade and a day. That's good for me, of course, but with the sequester and further cuts, will you get care as good, thorough, and prompt? It matters. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world, but it is more common in developed countries. It is estimated that worldwide in 2008, 1.23 million new cases were clinically diagnosed and that it killed at least 608,000 people. Do what's necessary to make sure you aren't one of them. Envoi. If you are a reader 50 and above, call your physician today and schedule your colonoscopy and while you're at it, give this article to a friend. It's an act of love.

'For your age...' A look beyond the complaints and pains to the undoubted benefits and joys of being a senior citizen. Very candid thoughts indeed.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant. Author's program note. It was Lisa Martiniuk, one of the hard-working Senior Monitors who are such an important part of keeping worldprofit.com going strong, who first, and with a dollop of insinuation and pleading in her voice, suggested I write something a little lighter than my recent fare. And so I switched from the killing fields of Asia and Super-Typhoon Haiyan and the continuing self-afflicted wounds of the Right Honorable Barack. I would write, I vowed, about being a (new) senior citizen and I would (unlike my carping colleagues) forego the cheap shots and wide-ranging irritants of every kind; instead to write an article of uplift and bliss about the phase of life where I now find myself and shall remain for the hourly diminishing -- and therefore the more precious --- balance remaining. To achieve this (frankly challenging) objective, I shall check the following words and attitudes at the door, along with my new cane. They may otherwise, you see, get in the way of my long-developing story. For whilst I am undoubtedly a new member of the club, I was not born yesterday. Without particularly noticing it, I have been studying senior citizens closely, ever since I had eyes in my head or the wit to discern what I saw... Now, here are the words and attitudes I shall forego (just for the present, mind)... ornery, stubborn, adamant, pigheaded, mulish, inexorable, not to be put down, inflexible, immutable, peremptory, always right, never wrong... Further, and as a notable mark of my bona fides, I am turning my striking "Don't Tread on Me" flag to the wall, but only for this single occasion, no precedent conceded or intended, buster. Have you got that? Music. For this voyage into the brand new land, I have selected a tune as quirky and idiosyncratic as most everyone is. It's the score from the 1989 film "Driviing Miss Daisy" starring Morgan Freeman as Hoke Colburn with Jessica Tandy superbly cast as Miss Daisy. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture (Tandy the Best Actress), it is a film every senior citizen should be compelled to watch over and over again, especially if we epitomize the words and attributes listed above, as all us old folks do, specializing in the surly, churlish, selfish and (never forget this) the faultlessly clairvoyant and omniscient. Go now to any search engine and find Hans Zimmer's theme, deceptively simple and artless. Such songs become, if we let them, our favorite and most evocative songs of all, as this one has surely become for me. When you find yourself whistling, you'll know it's captured your heart, too, no matter how irascible you are. Miss Daisy, after all, was supremely irascible, too, until she permitted herself to thaw and (literally) enjoy the ride. Driving Dr. Lant. I was never very interested in trucks, tractors, or cars, much less their labyrinthine operating systems, tailor made, so it has always seemed to me, for maximum confusion and epic sessions of punishing frustration. I have a mechanical aptitude at the 5th percentile; translation, I can hardly tie my shoe laces... and whilst this is a perfectly valid and understandable excuse, it is of limited utility in the face of boisterous adolescent masculinity and the screwdrivers they love of every diabolical kind and type. I can feel the unwonted sweat of those trying days still dripping down my baffled face. And that is why I have Ame Joseph as my driver. I invariably call him "Mr. Joseph." He calls me http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 140 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation And that is why I have Ame Joseph as my driver. I invariably call him "Mr. Joseph." He calls me "Doctor Lant." We have known each other for many years now, and so these formalities are these days a tradition, not a requirement. How we met. I am, like most people, afflicted with some degree of claustrophobia. Quite frankly, I intensely dislike being stuffed into anything, especially the back seats of taxis, which seem tailor made for panic attacks. Getting me into them, though I am the perfectly normal size of 5 foot ten inches and 165 pounds, often commands a shoe horn, with me twisting, squirming, unable to move. This, as you may well imagine, maddens and affronts me. It is, however, a stark reality for urban based folks like me who do not drive and rely on the never-clean-inside-or-out taxis with colorful names like yellow, red and green; the reality gray, mud spattered and grim. Thus, when fate intervened (it had to be fate not merely random chance) and I found myself getting into a cab at the Sheridan Commander Hotel, a cab that was clean, hardly a speck of terra firma traveling with us, even the windows washed to clarity, I didn't hesitate. "Give me your card, I shall be calling you again." And that is how God works in the city.... The narrowing of life, to be fought with rage and determination. Now... turn up that quirky theme music from the score of "Driving Miss Daisy," because you see, we are going out you and I... and Mr. Joseph is taking us, for of course you'll be traveling with me, my way... it goes like this. "Mr. Joseph, are you free in 20 minutes?" And thus begins that most important of travels... the one that whisks you to a new reality, comfortably, efficiently, with just the necessary touch of condescension, for we have earned that, haven't we, over these many years and the thousand roles we have played from the very moment of conception. Mr. Joseph calls me when he is 4 minutes away (note that precise number). I always say I am ready to go just then.... but I almost never am. There is just one more phone call to make... one more thing I really must peruse. But at last even I am ready, cap a jaunty angle, silver buttons gleaming on my coat... and the cane left behind, the cane I so recently acquired, have used not at all. Its time will come, even I know that... but not today, not today.... Today we have each other for I have ever been of an affectionate disposition, never hoarding that which exists to be abundantly, even profligately shared in the hope that such excess will be given to me... and I am glad to say it generally is. As we glide along the highly polished flagstone floor in the lobby, Mr. Joseph glides above, along the newly paved streets, brick sidewalks perfectly tailored, all marks that I live in that boom town of Cambridge, where being the hub of the Internet means citizens like me live better and better for less and less, an astonishing situation in this year of our Lord 2013, and one that makes me light up with smile and song with or without the slightest provocation... as when Mr. Joseph, suitably attired in black, is standing ready at the door of his Lincoln Town Car, prepared to supply supremely expert service. Thus is one of the great problems of aging, immobility and shrinking vistas, superbly solved. I can go hither and yon, the world still full of adventures large and small, still expanding, not closing in on me, prospects dwindling, the beginning of the beginning of the end. All this, too, has been postponed, perhaps forever and therein lies the greatest bliss of all, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness still my birthright and objective, eminently possible, not just memories of days long gone and bittersweet. Don't keep your future waiting... So, now get in. "The last of life for which the first was made" is waiting for you just around the corner. And despite every pain, each imperfection, whatever you have lost, whatever you fear losing http://www.EarnAtHomeForLife.com Copyright Ardith Richardson - 2014 141 of 143
LIVING LIFE: Everyday Struggles with the Aging Generation next you are still that charmer of old, an eye full of mischief, capable of astonishing capers.... the most outrageous and notable not even dreamed yet, much less exhausted. You, diminished as you claim to be, are still the radiant being who can, given your ardent permission, awe us all, and most of all awe yourself. Make today the day you do...it's been far too long since you recognized you are the finest creation of your life... and it's time the world got the privilege of seeing your masterpiece in every glorious aspect. Right now. Don't waste another minute... even if you have to use the cane...
