Boils

A boil, also knows as a furuncle, is a deep seated abscess that involves an entire hair follicle and the surrounding skin tissue. A boil typically starts as a red, tender area on the skin.

The Acid Alkaline Balance

Your body had a natural acid/alkaline balance. Medications, sugars, poor diet and stress can all make the body more acidic. When the body is acidic, yeast, bacteria, viruses and cancer can thrive. And conversely, when the body is alkaline, foreign bacteria, viruses, yeast and cancer can not live. Our body has a natural balance called homeostasis. When we are too acidic, minerals like calcium are leached from our bones to help alkalize the body. Another way our body tries to protect us from acid is to buffer it with fat and store it in the body. Luckily, there are ways to naturally boost your PH which should stay at 7.365. Eating more green vegetables and less sugars, meat and dairy. There are also some great supplements out there that are alkalizing as well.

Promoting Your Lens Outside Of Squidoo

Rosie The Riveter

During World War II, women’s work in factories was essential for the survival of America due to the shortage of manpower from so many men off fighting the war.  The women were recruited with images of strong women like that of Rosie the Riveter.  This propaganda was disseminated through print, film and radio. The name Rosie the Riveter was given to the woman depicted on most of the propaganda posters.  These ads helped to recruit women who previously worked in fields, secretarial positions, domestic jobs and lower paying industrial positions were eager to test themselves on these jobs that were previously only held by men. In spite of how hard these women worked and what a good job they did, they were dismissed after the war ended.  These hard working women were a big part of the reason on why the United States was able to win the Second World War their contribution has not been forgotten as the Rosie the Riveter symbol is still a powerful and popular image.

Pat Tillman

Introducing my superhero... Pat Tillman (1976-2004) Pat Tillman was always an excellent athlete and leader. He led his high school to the Central Coast Division I Football Championship. Later, he went on to Arizona State University on a football scholarship. At ASU, Tillman was not just a stand out football player, he was also an excellent student. He helped his team go undefeated and make it to the 1997 Rose Bowl. He was the ASU most valuable player in 1997 and as a student he won the Clyde B. Smith Academic Award in both 1996 and 1997, the Sporting News Honda Scholar Athlete of the Year in 1997, and he was named the 1998 Sun Angel Student Athlete of The Year. Tillman went on to play in the NFL for the Arizona Cardinals. He was a stand out in the NFL and earned a handsome salary. But the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 changed everything for Tillman. He felt so passionately about defending his country after the attack that he decided to leave his NFL career on hold to join the U.S. Army with his younger brother Kevin. Before leaving for the military, Tillman married his high school sweetheart, Marie. The Tillman brothers became Army Rangers and were assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment in Fort Lewis, Washington. Later, Pat Tillman went to Iraq for Operation Iraq Freedom and then later went on to Afghanistan to serve in Operation Enduring Freedom. Tillman was killed defending what he believed in on April 22, 2004. Originally, there were discrepancies in the details of Tillmans death.It was later realized that Tillman tragically died as a result of friendly fire. Tillman was posthumously awarded the Silver Star and the Purple Heart and both Arizona State University and the Arizona Cardinals retired his jersey number. I respect Pat Tillman and feel that he is an excellent role model. Tillman worked hard in school and on the field, always striving to get better and never being satisfied with just getting by. But what I really respect about Tillman is that he walks the walk. He felt so strongly about defending his country that he left a lucrative career and made the ultimate sacrifice in defending freedom.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is becoming more common every year in Western societies. There are many factors for this ranging from diet, lack of exercise and genetics. With the help of your doctor and nutritionists, it can be a manageable disease. In type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas does not make enough insulin, or the cells become resistant to insulin. Insulin takes sugar in the form of glucose, which is the main source of cellular energy, into the cells. If diabetes is untreated blood sugar levels get too high.

Lawrence Taylor

Lawrence Taylor (L.T.) Position: LB Height: 6' 3'' Weight: 241 Born: 2/4/1959, in Williamsburg, VA, USA High School: Lafayette (Williamsburg, VA) College: University of North Carolina Let me start by saying that I believe that hands down, Lawrence Taylor, or LT, is one of the best defensive football players to every play the game. Growing up playing defensive end I used to try and emulate his play. Rarely could a defensive player take over and change the course of a game like the way LT could. Lawrence Taylor was a first round draft pick by the New York Giants and was the second player taken in the 1981 draft after being an All-American at North Carolina. In his rookie season he recorded 133 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 8 passes defense, two forced fumbles, a fumble recover and an interception. Talk about starting out with a bang. Taylor was a force to be reckoned with. His pass rush, coverage and tackling at the linebacker position made offenses second guess every play to be sure that he was accounted for. LT's pass rushing skills were unparalleled. He had the speed to blow past a blocker, or the power to muscle his way right through them. His play lead to the Giants having a 10 season winning streak while making the playoffs six times and winning the Super Bowl twice. LT racked up 132.5 quarterback sacks and that is not including the 9.5 sacks recorded in 1981 as the sack did not become an official statistic until 1982. He also recorded 1,088 tackles, 33 forced fumbles, 10 fumble recoveries, and 9 interceptions over the course of his career. He was also selected to play in 10 Pro Bowls and was named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.

Constipation Remedies

Constipation is the difficulty in passing stools, or the infrequent passages of bowel movements. Stools may be hard, dry, and can move very slowly through the large intestine. It is not uncommon to experience constipation from time to time, but chronic constipation can be very bad for your health and can lead to other health problems. Constipation is so common that it affects four million Americans every year. We spend nearly $100 million dollars a year on laxatives alone. While constipation is a serious health problem, it is not always necessary to have to go on a prescription or over the counter drug to take care of the problem. There are many natural solutions to assist in healthy elimination.

Should Rush Limbaugh be allowed to buy the St. Louis Rams?

Rush Limbaugh has every right to be an owner of the St. Louis Rams. While it is true that Rush Limbaugh is a controversial figure, that should not prevent him from being able to buy an NFL team. There are many who oppose Rush and feel that he should be banned from being able to buy the St. Louis Rams. The arguments against Limbaugh buying the St. Louis Rams are flimsy at best. Some call him a racist for a controversial remark he made about Donovan McNabb nearly 10 years ago. I believe that the reason some people want him blocked from the NFL is because the do not like his politics and over the top personality.

Lou Gehrigs Disease

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a motor neuron disease that was first described in 1869 by the French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot.  ALS is a degenerative neuro-disease that typically attacks both the lower and upper motor neurons and interferes with the brains messages to the muscles. It causes degeneration throughout the spinal cord and the brain.  Essentially, ALS makes you lose control of your voluntary muscles.  Early symptoms include a painless weakening of a hand, foot, arm, leg and speech, swallowing or walking difficulty. It is still not completely understood what causes ALS.  Right now, there is only one known cause of ALS.  That cause is a mutation of a specific gene, the SOD1 gene and this mutation only account for 1 or 2 percent of all ALS cases, or 20% of the familial or inherited cases.  This mutated gene makes a defective protein that is toxic to motor nerve cells.  Familial ALS makes up for 5-10% off of the cases.  The remaining cases come on spontaneously and without explanation which means that these random attacks on otherwise healthy adults could happen to anyone, anytime.

The Outsiders

The Outsiders is a book written by a teenager about teenagers.  The story is told through the eyes of a 14 year old boy named Ponyboy Curtis who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks with his two brothers Darrell and Sodapop. The story takes place over a two week period that would forever change and shape his life.  The novel is set in the 1960’s in Oklahoma during a time when the two major socioeconomic classes for Ponyboy’s peers were the wealthy Soc’s and the Greasers. This book is my favorite coming of age book and I read it several times while growing up.  It deals with the changes and emotions one goes through during adolescence.  Personal identity, heroism, peer pressure, innocence, family and belonging are all key issues that the characters of the Outsiders experience in this novel.

Purity Rings

For the teenager of today, casual sex and promiscuity is every where you look. You cannot open up a magazine, surf the Internet, watch TV or listen to the radio with out sex and loose morals being glorified. However, there is a counter movement to this in Churches and Christian youth groups across the nation. More teenagers and young adults are choosing to keep their virginity until marriage. There is also a movement in born again young adults who were previously sexually active, deciding to abstain from sex until they are married. A symbol that is worn by many teens and college students to help them remain abstinent and to express their Faith is wearing purity rings (also called chastity rings). These rings first became popular in the 1990's and have sense taken off. Typically the ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand is to remain there until marriage. It is also popular to wear the ring on a necklace. These rings both symbolize the persons wish to remain abstinent, they also symbolize a Faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. The rings are an overt symbol of Christian lifestyle and the difficult decisions that can come with it. The rings are popular with both boys and girls. The young men often wear rings with Crosses on them and the young women's rings will have smaller crosses or words such as purity or true love waits. Purity or promise rings are often given out in small ceremonies among youth groups. They are also given as a symbol of commitment between two people that have both agreed to wait to have sex until they marry each other. This is one of the most common kinds of promise rings, they are a promise between two people who are engaged. The chastity promise ring is for two people who are not yet engaged, but wish to commit celibacy and monogamy to each other and wish to remain pure until marriage. The spiritual promise ring is a promise ring in which the wearer makes a pledge to a higher power greater than themselves. These rings often display a Christian symbol like a cross, dove, angel or praying hands. Another form of promise rings is worn by those who wish to abstain from substance abuse. These rings are worn for those who wish to remain sober and are worn as a reminder of their sobriety from alcohol and drug abuse, food addiction, gambling or sexual addictions. Promise rings are becoming more popular with teens and young adults. For what ever reason they decide to wear their rings, it seems to be a good thing as long as they have pure intentions and the decision to wear the ring is an outward statement in their belief in themselves and a higher power which can help get them through any adversary.

Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II, formerly known as Karol Wojtyla, became Pope on October 16, 1978.  He was the first Pope who was not an Italian in 455 years.  Karol Wojtyla was born in Poland and was raised during a period of national freedom.  This freedom ended, first to the Nazi occupation and followed by Communist rule.  Wojtyla’s family had fled Poland during World War II, but the Russian invasion inspired him to return home.  He studied in secret to avoid deportation as he worked as a laborer. Karol Wojtyla was ordained in 1946.  Over the next few years he wrote Christian texts, continued his studies and taught Catholicism as he worked towards religious freedom.  His hard work led to him becoming a professor in Lublin.  Soon after he became auxili9ary bishop and then in 1963, he was made archbishop of Krakow.  Just four years later he was made a cardinal.  During his time as a cardinal, he worked endlessly to gain concessions from the communist leadership. Many were surprised when he was selected to be the next Pope.  John Paul II is highly praised for his attempt at building a bridge between Christians and Jews, and Muslims.  He traveled often as this was his main tool.  He would speak to massive crowds which made it possible for Mehmet Ali Agca to attempt an assassination on Pope John Paul II.  While he was seriously injured, this did not stop the Pope and even led to non-Catholics admiring his strength and his willingness to speak out against governments while he spoke from their country. In John Paul’s later years, he was affected by several health problems ranging from cancer to his ongoing battle against Parkinson’s disease.  However, these health problems could hardly slow him down.  In March of 2000, the Pope made one of his most famous trips.  He went to Jerusalem to meet with both Jewish and Muslim leaders in an attempt to bring peace and understanding to the region.  Sadly, in early 2005, the Popes health started to decline once again.  After a long fight, John Paul passed in the Vatican on April 2nd, 2005 at the age of 84.

Boycott Citgo

Venezuela Dictator Hugo Chavez has vowed to bring down the U.S. government. Chavez, president of Venezuela, told a TV audience: "Enough of imperialist aggression; we must tell the world: down with the U.S. empire. We have to bury imperialism this century." The dictator president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, is the sole owner of Citgo Gasoline Company. Profits from Citgo fuel purchases go directly to the government of Hugo Chavez who vows to bring down the U.S. Government. Chavez has been quoted saying, "(The U.S.) is the most perverse empire in history: It talks about freedom while invading and destroying other nations ... The Empire is very powerful, but not infallible. This century we will bury the US Empire. The empire has to face the people of Venezuela and Latin America. It has failed in Iraq already." Chavez has done much to redistribute the wealth in Venezuela with his quasi-socialist/communist form of government. Chavez stated, "We must confront the privileged elite who have destroyed a large part of the world." Chavez is to the extreme left and denounces capitalism, he once said, "The left is back, and it's the only path we have to get out of the spot to which the right has sunken us, Socialism builds and capitalism destroys." Chavez is pushing for a full-scale Communist revolution in Latin America. One of his closest allies is Jesse Jackson's hero, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Chavez also had close relations with Saddam Hussein before that brutal dictator's sudden departure from the seat of power in Iraq. With friends like Castro, the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Saddam, it is no wonder that the psychotic Chavez has delusions that he can topple the United States. Chavez also is currently working to form allies to help to counter the U.S. More than 30 countries from as far away as Indonesia have received some form of aid or preferential deals in an effort to "buy" support. It is estimated that a third of Citgo's profits come from sales to the U.S. Boycotting Citgo will make it much more difficult for Chavez to continue his dictatorship and may also help to lead to his removal from power. I am not suggesting that we boycott Citgo gas stations, just do not buy their fuel. Citgo gas stations are owned by Americans and none of the products in the store will go to Chavez, only the fuel profits. These store owners have contracts with Citgo fuel and we would like for them to offer a different brand of gasoline. Some encouraging news is that 7-11 has dropped the Citgo brand from their gas stations.

Lupus

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that brings on a chronic inflammatory condition that affects many of the body’s organs.  Lupus occurs when the immune system makes antibodies to respond to the virus that then attack the body’s own organs and tissues.  This creates an inflammatory response in the skin, blood vessels, joints, and other tissues and organs.  There are two different kind of lupus.  One is Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the second is discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE).  SLE affects many different parts of the body and the severity can range anywhere from mild to life threatening.  The first symptoms you experience with SLE are like that of arthritis.  The symptoms are swelling and pain in the fingers and joints.  Sometimes, the disease comes on suddenly with sever fever.  Another common symptom is a red rash on the cheeks; the rash may also appear elsewhere on the body.  Other typical symptoms are harir loss, loss of appetite, nausea, blood in urine, ulcers, vomiting and weight loss.  Inflammation of the kidneys can also be a symptom. DLE is a less serious form of the disease that typically only affects the skin.  A butterfly rash will appear over the nose and cheeks.  There may also be cuts or lesions elsewhere on the body.  These symptoms can last for years. 

Pepsi is better than Coke

Pepsi is better than Coke Unless you are one of the rare people who drink RC Cola or a generic brand cola, you either drink Pepsi or Coke. To me, hands down, Pepsi is the superior tasting product. Coke is not bad, in fact, it still does taste good, it just does not have that same inviting taste of an ice cold Pepsi. Pepsi is sweeter, more thirst quenching and over all, a much more desirable and better tasting soft drink compared to Coke.

Why do we need to supplement digestive enzymes?

Why supplement digestive enzymes?   Working as a nutritional consultant, I get asked a lot, “If our body does make our own digestive enzymes, then why do we need to supplement them?”  My usual response to that question is you most likely don’t need to supplement them if and only if you are eating approximately 90% fresh raw foods which naturally contain enzymes.  However, as you and I both know, this is not the case, especially with the Standard American Diet, appropriately abbreviated at SAD. Jeff Wendland is a professional nutrition counselor who has worked in the natural health field for ten years. He publishes the Jeff's Healthy Living nutrition and diet Website (www.jeffshealthyliving.com).

Hereditary Hemochromatosis

Hereditary Hemochromatosis is an inherited disease which causes the body to absorb and store too much iron.  This excess iron is stored throughout the body, but particularly in the liver, skin and pancreas.  When this iron is stored, the iron damages these organs and tissues. HH is caused by mutations found in the HFE gene.  This genes responsibility is to control the iron absorption from the diet.  When a person inherits the defective gene from both parents, he or she will develop Hereditary Hemochromatosis.  If a person in inherits the defective genre from one parent and not the other, this person is a considered a HH carrier.  HH carriers do have a slight increase in their absorption of iron. Most people who have HH have no symptoms of the disorder until they reach middle age.  This is because the body only absorbs a small amount more then what it needs every day.  This takes time to build up and cause symptoms.  Some of the most common symptoms of HH are bronzing or a grey appearance in the skin.  The symptoms are painful joints, diabetes, liver disorders and a weakened cardiovascular system.  Other signs of Hereditary Hemochromatosis include diminished sex drive, early menopause, thyroid and adrenal disorders and fatigue. HH often goes undiagnosed for years because the blood tests are not performed.  There are four tests which should be performed for diagnosing the disease.  The Serum Ferritin test will measure the level of iron stored in the liver.  The Liver Biopsy will take a liver sample from a needle for testing.  The Transferrin Saturation Test measures the amount of iron that is bound to protein carried in the blood.  The best test is Molecular Genetic Testing.  The DNA testing for the Mutated HFE genes is now possible.  This test too is not 100% accurate as it is possible for a mutant genre to produce a false negative test result. The best treatment for HH is a phlebotomy, giving blood.  This blood is not given to the Red Cross as it is considered too high in iron.  Often blood is taken once or twice a week for an amount of time to lower the iron levels.  Once the iron levels are at a normal level, it is necessary to remove a pint of blood every month to four months.  Ferritin testing will let your doctor know how often blood should be taken. Some practices to implement to protect yourself if you have HH is to be sure to not take iron supplements, not even a multivitamin with a little iron in it.  It is often recommended to avoid vitamin C supplements as C increases the absorption of iron.  Eating red meat should be avoided as red meat is high in iron.  Limit your alcohol consumption as alcohol and high iron levels damages the liver at an increased rate.  If you are not sure how much alcohol you can consume consult your doctor. Everyone who a relative who has HH should be tested to for the disorder.  If you are tested negative, you still should be tested every few years as the condition often takes time to show up on a test. Early diagnosing and treatment are critical for the long term health of a person with HH.  If you are diagnosed before liver damage or diabetes, you should have a normal life expectancy.

Lymph Nodes

Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system which is a major factor in the body’s immune system.  The lymphatic system is made up of a network of bean shaped lymph nodes that are connected to vessels. These lymph nodes act as a filter, removing foreign organisms and abnormal cells.  Lymph nodes make a whitish/yellow fluid which contains white blood cells, proteins and some red blood cells. In the lymph nodes, there are lymphocytes (white blood cells) that go after bacteria and cells that do not belong.  The lymph nodes enlarge when they fight an infection since they must produce extra white blood cells.  Lymph nodes may also swell as they form an abscess (a closed puss filled pocket) or if they contain cancer cells. Lymph nodes are present in clusters in the neck, armpits and groin.

Hippocrates described gout as "the disease of kings" because it was associated with such a rich diet. Gout is an arthritis-like metabolic disorder that is a result of an increase in uric acid concentration from eating certain foods. The uric acid crystallizes and deposits in the joints, tendons, kidneys and other tissues, causing inflammation, swelling, and damage. The uric acid is a byproduct of the breakdown of purines in food. Typically, those who suffer from gout are obese, prone to high blood pressure and diabetes and they may have a history of poor cardiovascular health.

Get Rid Of Ringworm

Ringworm, contrary to the sound of its name, is not a worm or a parasite, but a fungal infection. It is also known as tinea infection and it infects the skin or scalp. The cause of ringworm is various forms of fungi, most commonly microspora, trichophyta, and epidermophyta. The symptoms of ringworm are the development of small red sports that can grow to the size of about one quarter inch in diameter. As the ringworm sports grow, the center typically heals first and turns clear while the borders are raised, red, and scaly which gives them a ring like appearance. Ring worm outbreaks are known to be very itchy.

Xango Pyramid

Odds are good that you have either heard of Xango, or had a Xango independent distributor spin the health benefits of Xango and how you can own your own business selling Xango through them. The question is, "Is mangosteen juice good for you, and is Xango the best mangosteen product on the market? To answer the first question, YES.  Mangosteen is an excellent antioxidant and a healthy juice.  Working as a nutritional consultant, I do hear plenty of good things about the results of Mangosteen juice from my clients. Mangosteen juice has over 40 different kinds of Xanthones found naturally in it.  Xanthones are a rare and powerful kind of antioxidant.  People also report feeling anti-inflammatory effects from drinking mangosteen juice. To answer the second question, NO.  Xango does contain some mangosteen juice, but it is also cut with several other juices.  I don't know about you, but if I am going to pay $29-$39 or more for a small bottle of juice, I know I would want to know that what I am buying is the real deal and not something that is watered down with other juices. You still will get some health benefits from drinking Xango, but I believe that you would be better off drinking a 100% pure mangosteen juice from a company like Genesis Today. It is my opinion that if you want to try mangosteen juice, you should either visit your local health food store, or go to a trusted online store and find a 100% pure mangosteen juice to supplement.

The Good Bacteria, Lactobacillus Acidophilus

When we hear the word bacteria we automatically think negative about it. After all, some bacteria really cause infections. However, that negative belief about bacteria may not be always true especially for your digestive tract, which considerably holds a massive number of bacteria and has then evolved to apply some good bacteria for some significant functions and effects. It is interesting to know that our digestive tract contains for about 400 various kinds of bacteria and yeast, and among those numbers, the Lactobacillus acidophilus and other members of the Lactobacillus family served important function to our health. Speaking of the acidophilus, it is believed that acidophilus is a probiotic bacterium and acidophilus is considered as such for the reason that such bacteria aids in maintaining our intestinal health. Aside from that, acidophilus greatly serves as a natural antibiotic against potentially injurious organisms. By taking acidophilus therefore will help us maintain our normal balance of valuable bacteria in the intestines and vagina. One of the unparalleled food sources of acidophilus is considered to be the yogurt. The yogurt is long valued for its nutritional and therapeutic benefits. Yet, it is greatly important to know that there are some variations in the quantities of acidophilus found in yogurt. Some brands of yogurt sometimes contain none at all, which makes it too tough to obtain reliable amounts. So to make sure of the quality for acidophilus, some commercial manufacturers recently add the active culture after pasteurization, which is a heating process that can ruin both the unwanted and beneficial organisms. The supplements of acidophilus are an effective option. The acidophilus supplements are currently sold in health-food stores, which often combined with another group of organisms known as Bifidobacteria that also functions as probiotics. There are several health benefits from taking acidophilus. Some people take acidophilus for the purpose of treating and preventing digestive disorders, vaginal infections, and other illnesses. Numerous studies reported that this group of bacteria functions as an immunity enhancer, and they may restrain the toxic effects of carcinogens, which are cancer-causing agents. For particular mention, the acidophilus is most commonly used to ease irritable bowel syndrome, which is a constellation of gastrointestinal symptoms that involves abdominal bloating, cramping, and diarrhea. In relation to that, this organism will control diarrhea, reduce flatulence, and will combat vaginal yeast and other infections that are connected with Candida, which is yeast that normally lives in union in our body. Acidophilus also functions to relieve urinary tract infections and they greatly battle bad breath. It is considered that an amount of acidophilus can encourage more efficient digestion and reduce the number of odor-producing bacteria. The acidophilus may come in several forms such as tablet, suppository, powder, liquid, douche, and capsule. And today, due to the recognized benefits of this element, acidophilus is largely made available at most health food and nutrition stores. It is just necessary to note that they usually come in two major forms, either in capsules or powder. In taking the supplement, it is just important to remember that adults are required to take capsules as directed on the bottle; for children, capsules are permitted if able to swallow, otherwise give one teaspoon of the powder once a day in milk, juice, or food; and for the infants, you should make a paste using water or breastmilk and rub this once a day in babys mouth, or place one teaspoon once a day if bottlefeeding.

Stress

Stress can be caused by a physical, mental, social or emotional stimulus that elicits a change or evokes a response in the way we perform, think or feel.  Simply put, change is stressful, whether the change is good or bad.  While stress is a psychological problem, it also has physical effects.  The body responds to stress with an array of physical reactions like increased blood pressure, an increase in adrenalin, a pick up in the heart beat and a greater tension in the muscles.  These reactions to stress increase your likelihood of stroke or heart attack. Stress is a good thing and helps us to learn, react, avoid danger and so much more.  The important thing is to manage your stress in a healthy way so that you do not have high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, gain weight or have adrenal problems.

Herbal Treatment for Herpes

Herpes is a reoccurring infection that is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HRV).  There are two main types of herpes, HSV-1, and HSV-2.  Both types of HSV can cause blisters and sores on the mouth, face and genitals.  Once a person is infected with herpes, that person has it for life.  However, the virus can become latent and not cause any symptoms for extended periods of time.

Masaru Emoto

Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama, Japan in July of 1943.  He graduated from the Yokohama Municipal University with a degree in International Relations.  In 1992, Emoto received his Doctorate in Alternative Medicine from the Open International University.  Later, he was introduced to the idea of micro cluster water and magnetic resonance analysis technology.  This is how Emoto discovered many differences in the crystalline structure of water collected from different water sources from around the planet.  Emoto then freezes the water and photographs the crystals.  Emoto noticed the difference in the symmetry and the beauty of different crystals photographed from different sources.  He found that water from clean mountain streams formed fantastic geometric designs.  Water crystals from polluted or contaminated sources were asymmetrical and distorted.  Emoto later conducted experimented with before and after photos of water crystals from different sources.  The water crystals would change dramatically in the before and after photos.  Such sayings as love and gratitude posted on a water bottle over night could take an average looking crystal and turn it into a perfect, beautiful crystal overnight.  Emoto found similar results from prayer and music.  Also, there were negative effects on crystals that were exposed to negative stimulus like microwaves, angry music and such messages as hate. These experiments bring about a powerful idea.  If thoughts and positive stimulus can have these results on water and our bodies are composed of 60% water.  Imagine what kind of results positive thoughts and messages can have on us.

The legendary Bob Marley who first made reggae into an international phenomenon. Following his success in the 1970s came a host of other names like the Congos and a host of others. It wasn't long before reggae became an established genre of music. But reggae was simply the growth, the development, of what had been happening in Jamaican music.

Waterboarding

Water boarding is a practice that has been around for centuries.  It was a popular interrogation method used during the Italian Inquisition of the 1500’s and was also a common practice in the Cambodian prisons during the brutal Khmer Rouge regime during the 1970’s.  In November of 2005, the CIA had this technique approved as an enhanced interrogation technique, only to be used against high value terror suspects. Water boarding essentially makes a person feel like they are drowning.  The way water boarding is currently done by the CIA involves strapping a person on an inverted board with their feet elevated.  The person being interrogated has their arms and legs bound, and their face covered.  A piece of cloth covers the nose and mouth or cellophane is used.  The interrogator then pours water over the persons face.  Depending on the technique, water may or may not enter the person’s mouth or nose, but regardless, an experience of drowning overwhelms the person being interrogated.  The thinking is, if the person’s mind believes that he or she is drowning, then a gag reflux kicks in as if he or she was really drowning. With all of the current debate on water boarding, the CIA admits that they have only used the practice three times.  One of the persons who was interrogated with this method was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who during the process confessed to his role in terrorist plots and also reported several ongoing plots that were foiled and potentially saved many lives. Water boarding has become a very controversial topic and has been labeled as torture by many human rights groups and a number of leading U.S. officials, including Senator John McCain.  Others say that it is an effective interrogation method that should be used only under extreme circumstances when obtaining information from a reluctant prisoner is imperative.

Mr. Potato Head

Mr. Potato Head, one of the world's most adored "personalities," was "born" in 1952, at the Pawtucket, RI-based toy company, Hasbro, Inc., and began making history at an early age as the very first toy to be advertised on television. The original Mr. Potato Head contained only parts, such as eyes, ears, noses and mouths, and parents had to supply children with real potatoes for face-changing fun! Eight years later, a hard plastic potato "body" was included with Mr. Potato Head to replace the need for a real potato. Over the next three decades, a variety of Mr. Potato Head products were sold. He was so loved by children, that he was expanded into additional toy categories including puzzles, creative play sets, and electronic hand-held, board and video games. The vast popularity of Mr. Potato Head also attracted non-toy companies who licensed his image and name to make apparel, accessories and novelty items. Mr. Potato Head's appeal to people young and old made him the ideal ambassador for many causes and good-will efforts. In 1987, Mr. Potato Head surrendered his signature pipe to the U.S. Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, and became the "spokespud" for the American Cancer Society's annual "Great American Smokeout" campaign -- a role he carried out for several years. On his 40th birthday, it was decided that he would no longer be a "couch potato" and he received a special award from the President's Council for Physical Fitness, right on the lawn of the White House! Always one to pass on a wholesome message to the public, he and Mrs. Potato Head joined up with the League of Women's Voters in 1996 to help out with their "Get Out the Vote" campaign and spread the word about the importance of voting to Americans. Mr. Potato Head's celebrity status carried him to Hollywood in 1995, where he played a supporting role in Disney's "Toy Story." And, in 1997, Burger King hired him to be the spokespud for the introduction of their new french fry and "Try the Fry" campaign. In the fall of 1998, he will star in his own Saturday morning children's television program, "The Mr. Potato Head Show," which will debut on the Fox Children's Network. Mr. Potato Head ... a world-class personality whose recognition grew from a simple children's toy to everyone's best friend, a speaker of causes, entertainment star and a cultural icon.

Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford #9 | Quarterback | Detroit Lions College: University of Georgia Bulldogs Born: February 7, 1988 Birth Place: DALLAS, TX Height: 6-3 Weight: 237 lbs. Draft: 1st pick, 2009 NFL Draft A bright future has been predicted for Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford since since graduating from Highland Park High School (Dallas) in 2006. So far Stafford has not let anyone down as he has lived up to those expectations. He is considered to be one of the top talents in the 2009 NFL Draft which is why he was selected with the first pick by the Detroit Lions who desperately needed a top caliber quarterback.. The arm strength of Stafford is one of his greatest attributes. His cannon for an arm is something that cannot be taught. His footwork could be improved but that is something that NFL quarterback coaches should be able to take care of.. He is a mobile quarterback who is accurate while making plays on the run. He has good size and is likely to get stronger with the NFL strength and conditioning coaches. Stafford has also proved to be a strong leader which is exactly what you want from your starting quarterback.

Vanguard Saga of Heroes

Vanguard Saga of Heroes is the next generation of MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game) from Sigil Games Online.  The game was released on January 30, 2007, but a lucky few had early access by pre-ordering and were able to start on January 26.    Vanguard SOH was designed by some of the same creators of the original EverQuest.  To me, Vanguard offers the best of games like EverQuest and World of Warcraft, crossed with the best of Star Wars Galaxies in that there is great combat, quests, crafting and community.  The game play has something for everyone with three primary areas which are adventuring, crafting, and diplomacy.  Each of these areas can be played independently of each other and at the same time complement each other for the overall game play.  There is also a smaller section of game play and that is harvesting which it tied into adventuring.   The setting for the fantasy game Vanguard takes place on a world called Telon and is inhabited by several races of creatures that you can choose from for your character.  These races include, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Goblin, Half Elf, Halfling, High Elf, Kojani Human, Kurashasha, Lesser Giant, Mordebi Human, Orc, Qualianthari Human, Raki, Thestran Human, Varanjar, Varanthari, Vulmane, and Wood Elf.   This is a fun game that can be very addicting.  The combat makes for fun group questing, the crafting is both challenging and rewarding and the diplomacy is great for those who enjoy NPC dialogue.

Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee (Lee Hsiao Lung), was born in San Fransisco in November 1940 the son of a famous Chinese opera singer. Bruce moved to Hong Kong when he soon became a child star in the growing Eastern film industry. His first film was called The birth of Mankind, his last film which was uncompleted at the time of his death in 1973 was called Game of Death. Bruce was a loner and was constantly getting himself into fights, with this in mind he looked towards Kung Fu as a way of disciplining himself. The famous Yip Men taught Bruce his basic skills, but it was not long before he was mastering the master. Yip Men was acknowledged to be one of the greatest authorities on the subject of Wing Chun a branch of the Chinese Martial Arts. Bruce mastered this before progressing to his own style of Jeet Kune Do. At the age of 19 Bruce left Hong Kong to study for a degree in philosophy at the University of Washington in America. It was at this time that he took on a waiter's job and also began to teach some of his skills to students who would pay. Some of the Japanese schools in the Seattle area tried to force Bruce out, and there was many confrontations and duels fought for Bruce to remain. He met his wife Linda at the University he was studying. His Martial Arts school flourished and he soon graduated. He gained some small roles in Hollywood films - Marlowe- etc, and some major stars were begging to be students of the Little Dragon. James Coburn, Steve McQueen and Lee Marvin to name but a few. He regularly gave displays at exhibitions, and it was during one of these exhibitions that he was spotted by a producer and signed up to do The Green Hornet series. The series was quite successful in the States - but was a huge hit in Hong Kong. Bruce visited Hong Kong in 1968 and he was overwhelmed by the attention he received from the people he had left. He once said on a radio program if the price was right he would do a movie for the Chinese audiences. He returned to the States and completed some episodes of Longstreet. He began writing his book on Jeet Kune Do at roughly the same time.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is mother nature's all natural substance, coming through in the healing properties of the sun's ultraviolet rays. When used intelligently, sunlight exposure provides most people with their entire vitamin D requirements. The skin alone, as the body's largest organ, is responsible for producing and providing our body with this important nutrient. According to Dr. Michael Holick author of “The UV Advantage", and one of the world's most respected experts on vitamin D and the healing benefits of natural sunlight, if one has liver or kidney disease you will become vitamin D deficient. You will need to take either activated vitamin D or one of its analogs to maintain healthy bones. As a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Holick and his roommate worked on isolating and identifying the active form of vitamin D for their PhD project. Over a two year time period, they managed to synthesize it. This synthesized form of vitamin D was given to patients while Dr. Holick was in medical school. Patients that had bone diseases associated with kidney failure, that were wheelchair bound and with severe bone pain, started walking again. This active form of vitamin D that is made by the kidneys, is called 125-dihydroxy vitamin D. It can not be found in dietary supplements and is available only by prescription. Vitamin D production first begins when you expose your skin to sunshine's ultraviolet rays. It is also worth mentioning here, that you can not get vitamin D when you are behind glass, so sitting in a sun room in your house, or the warmth of sunlight streaming through your car's windshield will not be beneficial skin exposure for producing vitamin D. After skin exposure to outdoor sunlight, vitamin D then takes a circuitous journey to the liver to get hydroxylated (called 25-hydroxy vitamin D). This inactive form of vitamin D then goes on to the kidneys, from there vitamin D becomes modified again, to its active form, which is then called 125-hydroxy Vitamin D. Several years later, it was discovered that other organs in the body such as the prostate, breast, and colon can also activate vitamin D. It is this activated form of Vitamin D that is responsible for the intestines to efficiently absorb calcium from one's diet. Having a vitamin D deficiency puts you at risk for many diseases such as diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and depression to mention only a few. Many Americans simply take for granted the importance of this free and natural necessary nutrient. Vitamin D deficiencies in the United States are now in epidemic proportions, and in all age groups. Wearing sunscreen, which has been promoted as healthy by the medical establishment because it protects the skin from cancer and is a lucrative business for sunscreen manufacturers, is the main reason for this shocking trend. We have been bought, sold, and paid for on avoiding sunshine exposure for fear of getting skin cancer, and this is why 40-60% of people are at risk for having a vitamin D deficiency. When you slather on sunscreen even as low as 8 SPF every time you go outside, you reduce your ability to make vitamin D in your skin by more than 95%. When you need to be out doors for long periods of time in the sun, do not let your skin burn. Sunburning will increase your chances of developing skin cancer. Get into the shade, go indoors, or apply sunscreen after you have given your skin a chance to make vitamin D for your good health. Only 20 to 30 minutes three to five times a week of sensible sun exposure is necessary for the average caucasian, longer for darker skin and overweight individuals. Dr. Holick's book outlines the details on this to lessen any confusion. You can not overdose on vitamin D, nature has provided smart safe guards on this. When you expose your skin to adequate amounts of sunlight in the spring, summer, and fall, the vitamin D that is produced will last you two to three months. This should get you through the winter. If you are concerned about this issue though, supplement with krill oil or cod liver oil through the winter months. This will help you keep up your reserves. Vitamin D is not easily obtainable from our diets. Only cold water, oily fish is a good source, but you would have to eat this three to five times a week. Cod liver oil is a good source of vitamin D and omega-3, but it also contains vitamin A which can be toxic if too much is taken. Milk fortified with vitamin D is not a good source, as too much would have to be ingested to benefit. Vitamin D is dependent on adequate calcium intake for it to work, and vise versa, calcium needs vitamin D to be adequately absorbed by your body. Keep this fact in mind if you are supplementing with extra calcium. Another interesting fact about vitamin D is, it really is not a vitamin in the true sense, but more like a hormone by definition in how it is produced and distributed throughout your body. To get you thinking more about this poorly understood nutrient, here are some startling facts about vitamin D deficiencies in the United States: 32% of doctors and med school students are vitamin D deficient. 40% of the U.S. Population is vitamin D deficient. 42% of African American women of child bearing age are vitamin D deficient. 48% of young girls (9-11 year olds) are vitamin D deficient. Up to 60% of hospital patients are vitamin D deficient. 76% of pregnant mothers are severely vitamin D deficient, causing wide spread vitamin D deficiencies in their unborn babies, which predisposes them to type-1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia later in life. 81% of children born to these mothers were deficient. Up to 80% of nursing home residents are vitamin D deficient. The message seems rather clear and simple, sensible skin exposure to natural outdoor sunlight during the warm months of the year is one of the cheapest, easiest, and healthiest ways to improve one's health and avoid a vitamin D deficiency. Along with a healthy diet, exercise, and proper hydration with nothing more than plain water, there is really no one magic single bullet answer to maintaining or regaining great health. Nature is a multi-complex system that requires a myriad of nature's natural nutrients to keep a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Brenda Skidmore has spent the last four plus years actively researching natural health care alternatives. She can attest to the many positive results natural practical cures and preventive strategies bring to human health. Along with the many medical professionals whose public works she has studied, it is her sincere desire to empower others by sharing this important information.

Dog the Bounty Hunter should be brought back to television.

Dog the Bounty Hunter should be brought back to television. Let me start by saying this: In no way to I advocate using racial epithets. However, the circumstances that led to Dwayne "Dog" Chapman's show being canceled is completely unfair and unwarranted. Dog the Bounty Hunter was canceled after a private conversation with his son was obtained by the National Enquirer. In the conversation Dog uttered a racial slur while talking to his son in what he thought was a private dialogue between a father and a son. He was not using the term at anyone directly; he just said the word itself. Who among us has not had a private conversation that we may not be proud of and that we could get in trouble at a job over? I think that we all have. But the private talk between the Dog and his son was just that, a PRIVATE conversation. After the tape was released, Chapman made a heartfelt apology to the American public and I believe that he truly meant what he said. I believe that he handled the situation like a man. He took responsibility for what he said, and he apologized from the bottom of his heart. The Dog does a lot of good work and sets a great example on turning your life around and second chances. His show being taken off of the air is not making society any better; it is only taking away a man and his message of second chances and forgiveness.

The Last Supper depicts the moment the disciples were gathered around Jesus and he said, "Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me." Matthew 26

Saturday Night Live's Fauxbama skit was great!

Saturday Night Live's Fauxbama skit was great! Saturday Night Live recently put on a skit where presidential candidate Barack Obama was portrayed by Fred Armisen, who is not African American. Many were offended by a white man playing the role of Obama after several democrats last year questioned if Obama was "black enough" to win the votes of the African American population. The skit was a debate between Armisen as Obama, and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. The sketch poked fun at the media's apparent favoritism towards Obama. Many are critical of the sketch because they feel that Obama should have been portrayed by an African American actor. Others in the media are mad because the skit makes fun of the media and what a free ride they have been giving Obama. I say that Fred Armisen did a great job impersonating Obama and I don't see why race has to be an issue. The skit accurately portrayed the favoritism by the media towards Obama over Clinton. *****Note- I try repeatedly to find a video clip on YouTube of this clip, but as soon as I find one, it is taken down.

Howard Schiffer

Introducing my superhero... Howard Schiffer has always been passionate about nutrition. For over 30 years he has helped to develop and sell a number of health food items. In 1994, his priorities changed when Southern California was struck by the Northridge earthquake. During this time Schiffer realized how important it was to help get basic nutrition to the earthquake's victims. At this time, he helped to organize his friends and business colleagues from the health food industry to make an effort to help to distribute vitamin supplements to those who needed them most. This was the launch of Schiffer's new charitable organization, Vitamin Angels. Over the years, they have helped to distribute over 350 million vitamins and supplements in 82 countries. During his travels, Schiffer noticed how many children worldwide go blind and even die as a result of Vitamin A deficiencies. He then learned that high doses of vitamin A to children and lactating mothers can help to prevent this problem. This observation spawned Schiffer's current goal which is to eradicate childhood blindness by the year 2020, a project appropriately called, Operation 20/20.

Natural Treatments For Hypothyroidism

The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck just below the larynx.  Hormones are secreted by the thyroid that control metabolism. These hormones are called thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Hypothyroidism is one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States. This condition is believed to affect as many as 11 million adults and children, it is estimated that two of every three people with hypothyroidism may not know they have the disease.  Symptoms may not appear until years after the thyroid has stopped functioning, and they are often mistaken for signs of other illnesses, hormonal changes, or just aging.  Hypothyroidism, also known as an under-active thyroid gland, may cause a variety of symptoms and may affect all body functions. All body functions begin to slow, which causes mental and physical sluggishness. The symptoms may vary from mild to severe.

Honoring god in our daily lives can be something that many of us over look.  Being a Christian means more then just going to Church on Sunday or being a good person.  To be a good Christian one should accept that Jesus Chris is their Savior who died for their sins, and we must honor and worship God and have the Holy Spirit in our hearts.   One good way to be a good Christian is to be a good example.  I’m sure that you have noticed something special about a person, that they are different then the rest of the flock.  Later you find out that that person is a Christian.  People are drawn to a person that follows the Lord.  What a great way to touch the heart of a nonbeliever and to put that spark in their heart that might bring them to God.   Another way to honor God is to read Christian writings.  A good book by a writer like Billy Graham or Rick Warren can inspire you and help your relationship grow with the Lord.   Supporting missionaries is also an excellent way to honor God.  A missionary can make changes in parts of the world that need it most.  Your support of a missionary makes it possible for a person far a way to here God’s message that may have not had another opportunity.   Volunteering at your Church is a good way to honor God.  Volunteering is a way to give something more valuable then money, your time.  When you volunteer at your church, you will experience a great fellowship with other members of your church and can really make a difference in your local community.   It is also important to help your local community outside of your church.  Helping the needy and downtrodden can be humbling to you, and may just help the needy and show them the way to the Lord.   An easy way to honor God is to wear Christian t-shirts, apparel and jewelry.  A Christian message on a t-shirt or hoodie may be the only good news a person sees all day.  This can be quite an effective way to spread the word.    Wearing Christian clothing also reminds you, that you are a man or woman of God.  In a since, you are saying, I am making a stand, I am a Christian.   Christian jewelry can also be a very effective way to honor God.  Many young people like to wear purity or I’ll wait rings to show that they intend to stay pure until they are married.  There are also attractive rings for men and women.  Instead of wearing flashy jewelry that shows off your wealth, why not wear a ring that shows that you are spiritually wealthy.   What ever you do, or how ever you do it, honor God every day.  This will help to bring both you closer to the Lord and may help to inspire others to seek a relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Zac Efron

Born October 18, 1987, in San Luis Obispo, California, and raised nearby in Arroyo Grande, Zac Efron took his first step toward acting at the age of 11 when his parents took note of his singing ability. Singing lessons soon led to an appearance in the production of "Gypsy" that ran 90 performances and he was hooked. After appearing on-stage in "Peter Pan," "Auntie Mame", "Little Shop of Horrors" and "The Music Man", guest parts quickly followed on television series, including "Firefly" (2002), "ER" (1994), and "The Guardian" (2001). After guest-starring in several episodes of "Summerland" (2004), he joined the regular cast as girl-crazy Cameron Bale.

Efron lives at home with his parents and his younger brother Dylan. They have two highly affectionate Australian Shepherds, Dreamer and Puppy, and a very independent Siamese cat named Simon. source

Grass Fed Beef

Each of the nutrients have beneficial effects on your health and make natural grass fed beef a much wiser decision for dinner than conventional beef.

Fucothin

Fucoxanthin, contained in fucoTHIN, is a compound that is found in several different types of seaweed.  Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid (similar to lutein and lycopene), which is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage.  It is the pigment that gives brown seaweed its characteristic color and also participates in photosynthesis (the conversion of light into energy).  While all of that makes fucoxanthin interesting, when fucoxanthin was studied in the laboratory, it revealed a quality that makes it unique.*

What's in the reflection of Vice President Dick Cheney's Sunglasses?

What's in the reflection of Vice President Dick Cheney's Sunglasses? This photo of Dick Cheney from the white House Website shows Vice President Cheney fly fishing on the Snake River in Idaho. This in itself is no big deal until people examined more closely the reflection in Cheney's sunglasses. Many people think the photo looks like a naked woman. Other people see other things all together. Me, I think the reflection is innocent and just a natural reflection of Cheney's arm. I don't believe that there is anything scandalous in the reflection in Cheney's sunglasses

Herbal Help For Depression and Anxiety

Depression is a condition that affects millions of people directly and more indirectly, their family and friends.  Depression is often described as a heavy black curtain that comes down over their lives.    Suffering from depression involves the body, mood, and thoughts, they way you eat, sleep and interact with others.  The symptoms vary from person to person, but if you are feeling the blues for more than two weeks and the negative symptoms are interfering with your life, you may be clinically depressed. There are many treatments for depression ranging from counseling to prescriptions drugs.  However, many are choosing a more holistic approach that may include supplementing herbs and other natural products to help alleviate their depression.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common medical condition characterized by growth of tissue like endometrium, the lining of the uterus, beyond or outside the uterus. Affecting an estimated 89 million women (usually around 30 to 40 years of age who have never been pregnant before) of reproductive age around the world, one in every 5 females get endometriosis.[1] .[citation needed] However, endometriosis can occur very rarely in postmenopausal women. [1] An estimated 2%-4% of endometriosis cases are diagnosed in the postmenopausal period. In endometriosis, the endometrium (from endo, "inside", and metra, "womb") is found to be growing outside the uterus, on or in other areas of the body. Normally, the endometrium is shed each month during the menstrual cycle; however, in endometriosis, the misplaced endometrium is usually unable to exit the body. The endometriotic tissues still detach and bleed, but the result is far different: internal bleeding, degenerated blood and tissue shedding, inflammation of the surrounding areas, pain, and formation of scar tissue may result. In addition, depending on the location of the growths, interference with the normal function of the bowel, bladder, small intestines and other organs within the pelvic cavity can occur. In very rare cases, endometriosis has also been found in the skin, the lungs, the eye, the diaphragm, and the brain. Full Wiki

We love Tombstone

Every town has a story. Tombstone has a legend. I’ve seen the movie Tombstone countless times and have never grown tired of it.  This movie has action, adventure, humor, love and a great cast of characters.  Kurt Russell, Bill Paxton and Sam Elliott are excellent choices to play the Earp Brothers and Val Kilmer plays what is possibly his best roll as Doc Holiday. 

The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You To Know About

Male Menopause

Currently, the 49ers are in a transitional period and have some great young players.  While this may not be their year to go far in the play offs, it certainly looks like they are a team heading in the right direction.

Living With Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis literally translates to porous bones.  This condition occurs when bones lose their protein and mineral content and become brittle and weak.  With time, the bone mass in decreased thus leading to weaker bones.  When this occurs, bones break easily as bones become fragile. If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, or want to prevent or deter its onset, there is hope.  One of the most important things you can do is take part in weight bearing exercise.  This exercise strengthens your bones and deters the weakening of bones. Avoiding colas is also important.  The high phosphorus content in colas weakens bones. Supplementing proper vitamins and minerals and eating a good diet are also very important to prevent or slow down osteoporosis.  Adding calcium and magnesium to the diet can help to keep your bones strong and also provide numerous other health benefits.

Salton Sea

In sunny Southern California is the state’s largest inland lake, the Salton Sea.  It’s an incredible resource for the people and wildlife that live in the Imperial and Coachella valleys.  The sea is an oasis in a dessert and at one point was a booming lake with many marinas, homes, and was a popular vacation hotspot.  With the growth in population and development in Southern California, the sea is shrinking.  And as it shrinks, it salinity increases.  The Salton Sea is a rich source of tilapia which is popular for dining and is a favorite fish for many species of migrating birds.  As the sea declines, so does the local communities and so will the local quality of life.

Inspirational Christmas Video Showcase

Steve Majors

Steve Majors was raised in Oklahoma by two loving parents who taught him early about how to manage his finances.  The messages that the two parents were different and that is what made him the man he is today.  His father encouraged Steve to “get a good job.”  And his mother told Steve he “should start his own company.” Steve went to school for electronics but found this was not the career for him.  He discovered this after settling down for a job as an engineer for a telephone company in Northern California.  This job took him around the world, even to Russia, where he met his wife Irena.  It was a good job with a good income.  It was not long before his mother’s worlds got to him and his desire to start his own business was put into motion. Steve’s search led him to try a few different home based businesses.  In early 2002, he attended a real estate seminar and was immediately drawn to the business opportunity of buying ands selling houses.  Shortly after, he bought his first investment property in the Las Vegas Area. After making over 40 deals in his first year by using a variety of no money down methods, he began designing his own system to minimize the work and maximize his results.  He began to be known as the Lazy Investor as his methods required so little work.  Steve began to teach others in courses, seminars and boot camps his methods of maximizing gains on a minimal amount of work in real estate investing.

Aromatherapy Inhalers

What are Aromatherapy Scent Inhalers?  Aromatherapy inhalers are a great way to benefit from essential oils where ever you go.  They are small and attractive and fit easily in your pocket, purse, backpack or in a cubby hole in your car. Aromatherapy inhalers typically come in a tube that almost resembles a stick of lip balm.  To use them, you simply bring the opening of the inhaler to your nose and take a deep breath.  The scents for the essential oil blends then fill your nose, lungs and olfactory system which can illicit the powerful effects that each specific oil blend was designed for.

Mercury Poisoning

Mercury is one of the most toxic metals. This element is even more toxic than lead. Mercury can be found in our water, soil, fungicides, pesticides, our food supplies, vaccines, and even our amalgam fillings. Mercury is a poison that is cumulative, or builds up over time. What makes it worse is that there is no barrier that prevents mercury from reaching the brain cells which leads to it being stored in the pain center of the brain and in the central nervous system. This can lead to both a prevention of proper nutrient uptake, as well as the removal of wastes through the cells. Because of the severe health risks associated with Mercury poisoning and toxicity, it is an element that mush be avoided, and if you fear that you do have it stored in your system, it should be removed through a detoxification program.

The Art Of War

The Art of War by Sun Tzu is an ancient Chinese treatise on warfare and military strategy. It is now required reading for many businesses, law students, and of course militarys.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who works in a competitive environment as The Art of War can become a cornerstone to your success.

Salvador Dali

Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Salvador Dalí's artistic repertoire also included film, sculpture, and photography. He collaborated with Walt Disney on the Academy Award-nominated short cartoon Destino, which was released posthumously in 2003. He also collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock on Hitchcock's film Spellbound. Dalí insisted on his "Arab lineage", claiming that his ancestors were descended from the Moors who occupied Southern Spain for nearly 800 years (711-1492), and attributed to these origins, "my love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes." Widely considered to be greatly imaginative, Dalí had an affinity for doing unusual things to draw attention to himself. This sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed his critics, since his eccentric manner sometimes drew more public attention than his artwork. The purposefully-sought notoriety led to broad public recognition and many purchases of his works by people from all walks of life.                                                    click to read the rest of bio at wikepedia

Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi is one of the world’s most renowned freedom fighters and advocates of nonviolence.  Her struggles are for her home country of Burma and Burma’s struggles for democracy while suffering under a strict and brutal military regime.   Aung San Suu Kye was educated in Burma, India and the United Kingdom.   She grew up with only one parent as her father was assassinated when she was just two years old.  In 1988, she left London to take care of her dying mother.  During this time, she entered the newly formed National League for Democracy political party.  She game many speeches calling for freedom and democracy.  The military regime did not look favorably on her message as they responded with extreme violence as they killed up to 10,000 protesters including women, children and others.  A few months later, the military regime began to weaken and was forced to call for a national election in 1990.  Suu Kyi campaigned for the NLD which led to her being detained along with others in the party by the regime.  Even with being under house arrest, the NLD still went on to win an amazing 82% of the seats in parliament.  However, the military regime never recognized the results. Suu Kyi’s legal troubles continued as she was held again from 1989-1995, and again from 2000-2002.  In May of 2003 she was arrested and locked behind bars after the Depavin massacre in which up to 100 of her friends and supporters were beaten to death by the regimes goons.  In 2003 she was let out of prison but confined to house arrest where she has remained ever since. Over Suu Kyi’s life, she has won several international awards including the Nobel Peace Prize, The Sakharov Prize from the European Parliament, The United States Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Jawaharlal Nehru Award from India.  She has called on people from around the world to help the struggling people of Burma regain their freedom, asking “Please use your liberty to promote ours.”

Natural Insect Repellents

With summer here we are spending more time outside.  The warm weather makes it great to spend time in the garden, barbecuing on the grill, going to baseball games, camping or just taking the dog for a walk.  Nothing can ruin a nice day quicker then mosquitoes, flies, ticks and other biting insects. The usual solution to this problem is using bug sprays that are toxic to the bugs, but also toxic to us.  Fortunately mother nature provides us with plants that naturally produce insect repelling oils.  Some of the most common plants and herbs used to repel insects include basil, citronella, catnip, lavender, pennyroyal and rosemary. We can use extracts of these oils in a carrier oil or glycerin to apply to the skin to naturally keep pesky insects from ruining our day.  You can also plant these herbs around the yard to help to control the insect population in the area.

Fibromyalgia

You hurt all over, and you frequently feel exhausted. Even after numerous tests, your doctor can't find anything specifically wrong with you. If this sounds familiar, you may have fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points — places on your body where slight pressure causes pain. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men. Previously, fibromyalgia was known by other names such as fibrositis, chronic muscle pain syndrome, psychogenic rheumatism and tension myalgias. Although the intensity of your symptoms may vary, they'll probably never disappear completely. It may be reassuring to know, however, that fibromyalgia isn't progressive or life-threatening. Treatments and self-care steps can improve fibromyalgia symptoms and your general health.                                    source  

My favorite audiobook and ebook sources.

I love audiobooks!  Between work and family, I do not seem to have the time to read the way that I would like to.  I also spend more time in the car then I would like. Then one day a friend gave me an audiobook cd to listen to while I started a 3 hour road trip and I have been hooked ever since.   My favorite way of listening to audiobooks now is either in my car on a cd player, or on my iPod.  I have found several audiobook stores on line and I will use this opportunity to let you know about them.  In the RSS link below you will find some great reviews of audiobook and ebook websites.

Get Rid of Parasites

There are hundreds of different kinds of parasites that can call your body home.  These parasites can range from tiny microscopic species to tapeworms that can get up to several feed long.  Parasites can be systemic and not just limited to the colon and intestines.  They can be located in virtually every part of the body including your skin, blood, heart, liver, joints, brain and even your eyes. According to Dr. Hermann R. Bueno, of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene of London " Parasites are the missing diagnosis in the genesis of many chronic health problems, including diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and endocrine system. Most individuals would be truly amazed if they knew the extraordinarily high number of Americans who are unknowingly infected by parasites" Contaminated water, undercooked meats, improperly washed fruits and vegetables are just some of the common sources of parasite infestation. Transmission from pets or other infected persons is also quite common. Parasites live off your body and the foods you ingest creating toxins that sap your energy, pollute your system, and lower your body's resistance to disease and stress. The overuse of antibiotics further adds to the problem since it interferes with normal intestinal flora, which can lower the body's resistance. This lens is to help you find ways to naturally cleanse parasites from your body.  Below you can find resources to products and educational materials on parasites.

Detroit Downtown

Detroit (IPA: /d%u026A%u02C8tr%u0254%u026At/) (French: Détroit, meaning strait, pronounced [det%u0281wa] (help·info)) is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the seat of Wayne County. Detroit is a major port city on the Detroit River, in the Midwest region of the United States. Located north of Windsor, Ontario Detroit is a geographical oddity as it is the only U.S. city that looks south to Canada. It was founded in 1701 by the Frenchman Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. It is known as the U.S.'s traditional automotive center—"Detroit" is a metonym for the United States automobile industry—and an important source of popular music, legacies celebrated by the city's two familiar nicknames, Motor City and Motown. Other nicknames emerged in the twentieth century, including Rock City, Arsenal of Democracy (during World War II), The D, D-Town, Hockeytown, and The 3-1-3 (its area code). In 2007, Detroit ranked as the United States' eleventh most populous city, with 918,849 residents. At its peak, the city was the fourth largest in the country, but it has steadily declined in population since the 1960s. The name Detroit sometimes refers to the Metro Detroit area, a sprawling region with a population of 4,468,966 for the Metropolitan Statistical Area and a population of 5,410,014 for the nine-county Combined Statistical Area as of the 2006 Census Bureau estimates. The Windsor-Detroit area, a critical commercial link straddling the Canada-U.S. border, has a total population of about 5,900,000. Full Wiki 

Essiac Herbal Supplement

Essiac was originally given its name from the Nurse Rene Caisse.  Caisse spelled backwards is Essiac.  Essiac is a blend of four herbs that are grown native to the wilderness areas of Ontario, Canada.  The Ingredients that make up Essiac are Burdock Root, Slippery Elm, Sheep Sorrel and Indian Rhubarb Root.  The history of this formula dates back to native Canadian Ojibwa Medicine. These four herbs that make up the Essiac formula help the body to normalize its systems by cleansing the blood, purging toxic build up, promoting healthy cell repair as it aids in effective assimilation and elimination.  It is believed that these herbs work synergistically and are more powerful combined then when taken separately.

Next

Next is a sci-fi, technological mix of fact and fiction that examines the moral, legal, and ethical consequences of gene manipulation and explores what just may come next. The chapters are short and there are many characters with a lacking main character. But these only make the book harder to put down as you want to read what happens next. Next is a book that deals with parallel storylines from scientist, to the lives of Davy, a transgenic monkey who learns to surf. Or there is Gerard, the parrot who has been crossed with human genes that could help you with your math homework. In this book, Crichton does not so much warn us against scientific advances or its abuse from commercialization. What it deals with is human motives. An evil person can use biotechnology for damage, or a good person can use it to help the sick and to cure the ill.

We love Back To The Future

It was a simpler time.... People were just different then. Ah yes, the 80's, Delorions, Huey Luis and the News, big hair, and Michael J. Fox. What movie could be more 80's-ish than Back To The Future, despite the fact that most of it takes place in 1955. In case you have spent that last 15 years or so reading books or something, or perhaps you yourself are a time traveler from the past, The Hobbit'll give you the scoop on what this movie is about. Take one crazy mad scientist, played by Christopher Lloyd (and by the way, does anybody play a better mad scientist than him? Personally I suspect that in real life Christopher Lloyd runs a secret laboratory from his garage.) throw in one kid with a lousy family life and a typical 1985 attitude, shove em in a Delorion... and instead of having them smuggle drugs in it, send em back in time to the 50's... good plot right? But what if they also have to save the space time continuum? Voila! Now you have a classic movie. Christopher Lloyd is a genius. I've never seen him in anything where I didn't enjoy watching him work... the rest of the movie may have been total garbage... say for example all the Disney crap he has been doing lately, but at least he is always interesting in his own odd, slightly mad way. I never get tired of watching Doc Brown running back and forth ranting "Great Scott!" His madness is a beauty to behold. Look, I know, this movie is 15 years old, you've all seen it ten times and you think The Hobbit is wasting your time here, but trust me, get some friends together, get Back To the Future, heck while you're at it get the sequels too and I guarantee a good time. But if you have to get up and pee or get a fresh bag of cheese puffs or something do it during Back To the Future Part II, just don't do it when old Biff is smacking young Biff up side the head with his cane, cause sometimes some people just need a beating.                                   source

Stephen King

Writer. Born September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine. He graduated from his state university and continued to live in Maine, at first supporting himself with odd jobs while establishing his writing career. The success of his first horror novel, Carrie (1974), enabled him to publish earlier work under the pseudonym Richard Bachman (1977–84), a ploy which disguised the true extent of his prolific output of novels, short stories, and screenplays, until the ruse became public knowledge and he abandoned it. His own name became synonymous with best-selling novels blending horror, fantasy, and science fiction into a consistently scary mix. His books have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and include Salem's Lot (1975), The Shining (1977), The Dead Zone (1979), Misery (1987), Gerald's Game (1992), and Cell (2006). He has also written collections of short stories, including Hearts in Atlantis (1999). Several were made into successful films, and he himself tried his hand at film directing. King and his novelist wife live in Bangor, Maine. They have three children: Naomi Rachel, a reverend; Joseph Hillstrom, who writes under the pen name Joe Hill and is a lauded horror-fiction writer in his own right; and Owen Phillip, whose first collection of stories was published in 2005. source

He required more detail and power for the Christian paintings He had inspired me to paint, and they included people. I told Him that was my real weakness, but before long, I was pushed into doing portraits. I realized that the gift of talent I had been given was truly the Lord's hand upon my own."   Not only has Danny devoted his work to the Lord, he also has had a powerful connection with the sea.  Over Danny’s career, he has created many beautiful nautical and underwater images that have been displayed in galleries around the world.

Purple Abstract Art

Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color and form in a non-representational way. In the very early 20th century, the term was more often used to describe art, such as Cubist and Futurist art, that depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced way—keeping only an allusion of the original natural subject. Such paintings were often claimed to capture something of the depicted objects' immutable intrinsic qualities rather than its external appearance. (See abstraction.) The more precise terms, "non-figurative art," "non-objective art," and "non-representational art" avoid any possible ambiguity.                                                                                                         Read Full Wiki This lens offers the finest in abstract art that has the purple color in it.  In art, purple is the color on the color wheel between magenta and violet and its tints and shades.

Time To Quit Smoking

Still's Disease

Rambo IV

In Rambo 4 (2008) Sylvester Stallone has written and directed the best movie yet of the Rambo series. Vietnam Vet, John Rambo is working as a snake catcher and river guide in Thailand, living a simple life, avoiding trouble. Life is quite for Rambo until one day when a Christian human rights group request his service in taking them up river into war torn Burma. John reluctantly accepts their request. The humanitarians are doing some good work in a poor village until Major Tints soldiers massacre the town and take the Christian group captive. Rambo learns of these events when he is asked to transport a group of mercenaries up river to free the captured Christian aid workers. From here on, you see Rambo doing what he does best, freeing the good guys and taking out the bad guys. Rambo 4 is a return to the classic action movies of the 1980's and 90's. The action is awesome, the battle scenes are realistic and graphic. If you are an action movie fan, or enjoyed any of the first three Rambo films, I believe that you will love Rambo 4.

Christian T-Shirt Fundraisers

Is your Church planning a fund raiser? If so, there are many effective avenues you can pursue to help generate money for your Church. The following ideas are great ways to raise money for youth group programs, helping to fund missionaries, to pay for a short term trip for a Church group or for any other Church business.  Rummage sales and bake sales also are helpful was to raise money. A small newspaper add and several families donating goods that they no longer use can bring in some real income. A bake sale can be done on its own, or at the same time as the rummage sale. Another effective way to raise money for your Church is for a youth group to run a car wash. This is a fun way for the group to bond and raise money at the same time. It is also a good idea to sell car wash coupons ahead of time. Many will buy tickets just to support your cause and will not show up and others will show up from the world of mouth from those who prepaid for their car wash tickets. A way that is quickly becoming one of the most popular Church fund raising ideas is selling Christian t-shirts and apparel. There are online Christian clothing companies that can sell cool Christian children or adult T-shirts, long sleeve T-shirts and even hooded sweatshirts at a discounted price so that you can resell these at a profit. If you are going to buy these shirts for a Church group, free personalized text printing on the sleeve identifying your group is available. These Christian t-shirts are so affective because they evangelize with style and are popular with kids, teens and adults. If you are planning to raise money for your Church, you can try the ideas listed above. Remember to make a plan, use official Church letterhead, and be well organized and professional when dealing with outside organizations. With a little preparation and possibly using a couple of the ideas above, you will have raised the needed money in no time.

Benazir Bhutto

Benazir Bhutto was born in Karachi, Pakistan to a prominent political family. At age 16 she left her homeland to study at Harvard's Radcliffe College. After completing her undergraduate degree at Radcliffe she studied at England's Oxford University, where she was awarded a second degree in 1977. Later that year she returned to Pakistan where her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, had been elected prime minister, but days after her arrival, the military seized power and her father was imprisoned. In 1979 he was hanged by the military government of General Zia Ul Haq. Bhutto herself was also arrested many times over the following years, and was detained for three years before being permitted to leave the country in 1984. She settled in London, but along with her two brothers, she founded an underground organization to resist the military dictatorship. When her brother died in 1985, she returned to Pakistan for his burial, and was again arrested for participating in anti-government rallies. She returned to London after her release, and martial law was lifted in Pakistan at the end of the year. Anti-Zia demonstrations resumed and Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan in April 1986. The public response to her return was tumultuous, and she publicly called for the resignation of Zia Ul Haq, whose government had executed her father. She was elected co-chairwoman of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) along with her mother, and when free elections were finally held in 1988, she herself became Prime Minister. At 35, she was one of the youngest chief executives in the world, and the first woman to serve as prime minister in an Islamic country. Only two years into her first term, President Ghulam Ishaq Khan dismissed Bhutto from office. She initiated an anti-corruption campaign, and in 1993 was re-elected as Prime Minister. While in office, she brought electricity to the countryside and built schools all over the country. She made hunger, housing and health care her top priorities, and looked forward to continuing to modernize Pakistan. At the same time, Bhutto faced constant opposition from the Islamic fundamentalist movement. Her brother Mir Murtaza, who had been estranged from Benazir since their father's death, returned from abroad and leveled charges of corruption at Benazir's husband, Asif Ali Zardari. Mir Murtaza died when his bodyguard became involved in a gunfight with police in Karachi. The Pakistani public was shocked by this turn of events and PPP supporters were divided over the charges against Zardari. In 1996 President Leghari of Pakistan dismissed Benazir Bhutto from office, alleging mismanagement, and dissolved the National Assembly. A Bhutto re-election bid failed in 1997, and the next elected government, headed by the more conservative Nawaz Sharif, was overthrown by the military. Bhutto's husband was imprisoned, and once again, she was forced to leave her homeland. For nine years, she and her children lived in exile in London, where she continued to advocate the restoration of democracy in Pakistan. In the autumn of 2007, in the face of death threats from radical Islamists, and the hostility of the government, she returned to her native country. Although she was greeted by enthusiastic crowds, within hours of her arrival, her motorcade was attacked by a suicide bomber. She survived this first assassination attempt, although more than 100 bystanders died in the attack. With national elections scheduled for January 2008, her Pakistan People's Party was poised for a victory that would make Bhutto prime minister once again. Only a few weeks before the election, the extremists struck again. After a campaign rally in Rawalpindi, a gunman fired at her car, fatally wounding her. The assassin then detonated a bomb, killing himself and a number of bystanders. Bhutto was rushed to the hospital, but soon succumbed to her wounds. In the wake of her death, rioting erupted throughout the country. The loss of the country's most popular democratic leader has plunged Pakistan into turmoil, intensifying the dangerous instability of a nuclear-armed nation in a highly volatile region.   source

Buying a Tablet PC

Depending on how you use your PC or laptop, you may want to consider the benefits of a tablet PC.  A tablet PC is similar in many ways to a laptop with the main difference being that the tablet does not have a keyboard or a mouse.  In place of these, the tablet uses a specialized touch screen.    You use a special pen called a stylus to write on the screen, drag files, open files or can be used like a mouse.  The screen is made so that only the pen enters info to the screen so you do not have to worry about accidentally bumping or touching it with your fingers.  If this is not always convenient, a keyboard can be attached. What makes the tablet PC so unique is that a flat surface is not needed for typing on a keyboard.  This is part of what makes tablet PC’s so popular amongst doctors and medical personnel, engineers, salesmen and anyone in a profession where they are on the go and are not always able to sit at a computer or a laptop. There are several manufacturers and styles of tablet PC’s to choose from.  The main differences lie in weight, speed, durability, design and special functions. Below you will find some of the most popular models are the rugged, slate and convertible.

Nuts and Seeds

Nearly all nuts are dried tree fruits that can also be called kernels or nutmeat. Seeds are the embryo and food supply of plants that are not yet sprouted. When shopping for nuts and seeds, you can find them shelled and unshelled year round with the exception of chestnuts. Look for shells that have no cracks, holes, or mold. If you find the nuts rattle when shaken, it can mean that the nut is stale or dried up. When shopping for shelled nuts, look for plump ones that are uniform in size and color and avoid the ones that are soft, rubbery, or shriveled. Shelled Nuts can be purchased whole, halved, in pieces, chopped, slivered, or ground. They can be plain, roasted, dry roasted, blanched, salted, smoked, sugared, spiced or raw. Vacuum packed nuts in a jar or canned nuts usually stay fresh longer than one sin a bag. Unshelled nuts are less expensive, but you lose about half the weight in the shell. Nuts can be stored for a few months in a cool, dry place but will stay fresh longer if refrigerated. Nuts may also be frozen. Nuts and seeds have about 10-25% protein, they are high in polyunsaturated fat, and are rich in iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin E, and fiber. Seeds are rich in protein, iron, potassium and phosphorus. Some seeds like flax and hemp are also rich in essential fatty acids.

Yasser Arafat

Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat As Qudwa al-Hussaeini was born on 24 August 1929 in Cairo (bio from nobelprize.org), his father a textile merchant who was a Palestinian with some Egyptian ancestry, his mother from an old Palestinian family in Jerusalem. She died when Yasir, as he was called, was five years old, and he was sent to live with his maternal uncle in Jerusalem, the capital of the British Mandate of Palestine. He has revealed little about his childhood, but one of his earliest memories is of British soldiers breaking into his uncle's house after midnight, beating members of the family and smashing furniture.   After four years in Jerusalem, his father brought him back to Cairo, where an older sister took care of him and his siblings. Arafat never mentions his father, who was not close to his children. Arafat did not attend his father's funeral in 1952.   In Cairo, before he was seventeen Arafat was smuggling arms to Palestine to be used against the British and the Jews. At nineteen, during the war between the Jews and the Arab states, Arafat left his studies at the University of Faud I (later Cairo University) to fight against the Jews in the Gaza area. The defeat of the Arabs and the establishment of the state of Israel left him in such despair that he applied for a visa to study at the University of Texas. Recovering his spirits and retaining his dream of an independent Palestinian homeland, he returned to Faud University to major in engineering but spent most of his time as leader of the Palestinian students.   He did manage to get his degree in 1956, worked briefly in Egypt, then resettled in Kuwait, first being employed in the department of public works, next successfully running his own contracting firm. He spent all his spare time in political activities, to which he contributed most of the profits. In 1958 he and his friends founded Al-Fatah, an underground network of secret cells, which in 1959 began to publish a magazine advocating armed struggle against Israel. At the end of 1964 Arafat left Kuwait to become a full-time revolutionary, organising Fatah raids into Israel from Jordan.   It was also in 1964 that the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) was established, under the sponsorship of the Arab League, bringing together a number of groups all working to free Palestine for the Palestinians. The Arab states favoured a more conciliatory policy than Fatah's, but after their defeat by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, Fatah emerged from the underground as the most powerful and best organised of the groups making up the PLO, took over that organisation in 1969 when Arafat became the chairman of the PLO executive committee. The PLO was no longer to be something of a puppet organisation of the Arab states, wanting to keep the Palestinians quiet, but an independent nationalist organisation, based in Jordan.   Arafat developed the PLO into a state within the state of Jordan with its own military forces. King Hussein of Jordan, disturbed by its guerrilla attacks on Israel and other violent methods, eventually expelled the PLO from his country. Arafat sought to build a similar organisation in Lebanon, but this time was driven out by an Israeli military invasion. He kept the organization alive, however, by moving its headquarters to Tunis. He was a survivor himself, escaping death in an airplane crash, surviving any assassination attempts by Israeli intelligence agencies, and recovering from a serious stroke.   His life was one of constant travel, moving from country to country to promote the Palestinian cause, always keeping his movements secret, as he did any details about his private life. Even his marriage to Suha Tawil, a Palestinian half his age, was kept secret for some fifteen months. She had already begun significant humanitarian activities at home, especially for disabled children, but the prominent part she took in the public events in Oslo was a surprise for many Arafat-watchers. Since then, their daughter, Zahwa, named after Arafat's mother, has been born.   The period after the expulsion from Lebanon was a low time for Arafat and the PLO. Then the intifada (shaking) protest movement strengthened Arafat by directing world attention to the difficult plight of the Palestinians. In 1988 came a change of policy. In a speech at a special United Nations session held in Geneva, Switzerland, Arafat declared that the PLO renounced terrorism and supported "the right of all parties concerned in the Middle East conflict to live in peace and security, including the state of Palestine, Israel and other neighbours".   The prospects for a peace agreement with Israel now brightened. After a setback when the PLO supported Iraq in the Persian Gulf War of 1991, the peace process began in earnest, leading to the Oslo Accords of 1993.   This agreement included provision for the Palestinian elections which took place in early 1996, and Arafat was elected President of the Palestine Authority. Like other Arab regimes in the area, however, Arafat's governing style tended to be more dictatorial than democratic. When the right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu came to power in Israel in 1996, the peace process slowed down considerably. Much depends upon the nature of the new Israeli government, which will result from the elections to be held in 1999.

Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden was first formed in London, England, in 1976.  The band was named after a medieval torture device which suited the music which was heavy and intense.  The band featured Harris, Dave Murray (b. 23 December 1958, London, England; guitar), Paul Di'Anno (b. 17 May 1959, Chingford, London, England; vocals) and Doug Sampson (drums). The band made its first live performance at the Cart and Horses Pub in Stratford in 1977.  The band improved their sound performing at local pubs over the next two years.  They had a hard time landing a contract from a record company until the DJ Neal Kay, from London’s hard rock disco.  Kay helped Iron Maiden release the Soundhouse Tapes on the band’s own label. Tony Parsons joined the band as a second guitarist in 1979.  But before the band started recording their debut album, he was replaced by Dennis Stratton and Sampson by Clive Burr.  The self titled album, Iron Maiden, was roughly produced but still reached number 4 in the UK album listings partly thanks to touring with Judas Priest.  Around this time Dennis Stratton left the band and was replaced by Adrian Smith. At this time, Iron Maiden was becoming very popular with heavy metal fans.  Manager Rod Smallwood and the bands mascot, Eddie, helped bring the band to the heavy metal scenes forefront. The band kept making albums and their popularity continued to grow.  By this time, Iron Maiden was a household name for heavy metal fans around the world.  In the mid 1980’s, the band was performing elaborate shows with lighting and pyrotechnics which helped to ensure the bands success. Iron Maiden slowed down a bit after releasing Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.  This led to another tour which was followed by a break for quite some time.  After this long break, the band came back on the scene but with some new faces, Adrian Smith left and was replaced by Janick Gers who used to play with the band White Spirit. Maiden started performing in smaller venues which really connected the band to their fans again.  As momentum increased, a world tour followed.  It was during this tour that Bruce Dickinson announced that he was going to leave the band. Dickinson was replaced by Blaze Bayley who had his work cut out for him to replace the legendary front man.  To win the hearts of the fans, Bayley had to learn Maidens entire catalog of music. By early 1999, Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith rejoined the band which restored their classic 1980’s lineup.  Today, Iron Maiden still records and performs to sold out venues.

The Story Of Edgar Sawtelle

Set in the backwoods of Wisconsin in the first half of the twentieth century, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is the storey of a boy, his dog, and so much more. Stephen King says of the novel, "I flat-out loved The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Dog-lovers in particular will be riveted by this story, because the canine world has never been explored with such imagination or emotional resonance. Yet in the end, this isn't a novel about dogs or heartland America - although it is a deeply American work of literature. It's a novel about the human heart, and the mysteries that live there, understood but impossible to articulate. Yet in the person of Edgar Sawtelle, a mute boy who takes three of his dogs on a brave and dangerous odyssey, Wroblewski does articulate them, and splendidly. I closed the book with that regret readers feel only after experiencing the best stories: It's over, you think, and I won't read another one this good for a long, long time. In truth, there has never been a book quite like The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I thought of Hamlet when I was reading it (of course... and in this version, Ophelia turns out to be a dog named Almondine), and Watership Down, and The Night of the Hunter, and The Life of Pi - but halfway through, I put all comparisons aside and let it just be itself. I'm pretty sure this book is going to be a bestseller, but unlike some, it deserves to be. It's also going to be the subject of a great many reading groups, and when the members take up Edgar, I think they will be apt to stick to the book and forget the neighborhood gossip. Wonderful, mysterious, long and satisfying: readers who pick up this novel are going to enter a richer world. I envy them the trip. I don't reread many books, because life is too short. I will be rereading this one."

Wampa

Wampa ice creatures were carnivorous predatory reptomammals indigenous to the Outer Rim Territories ice planet Hoth. The bipedal beasts stood over two meters in height with shaggy white fur constantly stained by the blood and guts of slaughtered prey. Wampas were armed with jagged yellow teeth and deadly claws. Primarily solitary hunters, wampas occasionally hunted in packs, preferring to ambush their prey from the camouflage of Hoth's snow banks and blizzards. Stunned victims were carried back to the creatures' lairs, typically large ice caves, where the wampas ate at their leisure. The planet's omnivorous tauntauns formed the bulk of the wampas' prey, although they would attack anything they encountered. The Alliance to Restore the Republic's Echo Base on Hoth came under constant wampa assaults in 3 ABY. While rarely seen away from their remote home world, wampas were known to have participated in illegal gladiatorial combat venues. They were highly valued among big game hunters for the challenge that came with hunting the creatures, as well as for their pelts, stuffed heads, and other miscellaneous souvenirs that commanded high prices on the black market. Wampas were later protected under legislation to prevent endangered species from falling into extinction by the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. courtesy of wookiepedia
