By Richard Hall It seems as though the accounting rules that just a few short years ago seemed to be carved in stone and generally accepted by almost all businesses, are now more like accounting questions that are subject to ongoing challenge, discussion and debate. It also appears that rules governing the once sacrosanct relationships between corporate counsel and senior-level corporate executives are also now open to ongoing discussion. These new rules, established under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission, require both in-house and outside lawyers who see evidence of any “material” wrong-doing in businesses to report it up the corporate ladder. This rule is causing quite a stir in the executive ranks, where all business-related discussions between corporate executives and corporate counsel were previously considered protected under the attorney-client privilege. Senior-level executives, who were once comfortable discussing sensitive legal matters and tough business decisions with corporate counsel, arent quite as conversational anymore. These now tight-lipped corporate executives feel that frank and open discussions with their corporate counsel may not be in their best interest, and at some point could be used against them in a court of law. The fear of being dragged into court, or worse, being dragged in front of their Board of Directors, has many of them taking a vow of silence. The Securities and Exchange Commission meanwhile, contends that theres no need for concern over issues of attorney-client privilege between senior executives and corporate counsel, because the privilege never existed. The SECs position is that corporate counsel works for the corporation and shareholders, not the senior-level managers. Former SEC chairman Harvey L. Pitt left no doubt as to where corporate lawyers should pledge their allegiance. “Lawyers for public companies represent the company as a whole and its shareholder-owners, not the managers who hire and fire them. This tidbit of information comes as breaking news to many senior executives who for years have openly discussed sensitive legal matters acting under the belief that they were protected by the attorney-client privilege. Im sure that most corporate attorneys wouldnt argue against the idea of protecting shareholder interest. Its just that by placing attorneys in the role of corporate whistleblower, the SEC has created an adverse relationship between corporate counsel and the senior-level executives theyre hired to represent and advise. In addition to making waves in the corporate boardrooms, these new rules of attorney-client conduct also seem to directly challenge states rights governing attorney-client conduct. Some argue that Sarbanes-Oxley and the SEC have overstepped their bounds in an overzealous attempt to regulate business conduct, and in the process have taken regulation of corporations and their corporate counsel away from the states and turned it over to the federal government. That question is still open to debate, and will be for quite some time. But what is known, however, is that in the new Sarbanes-Oxley world, accounting rules and regulations are subject to change and should be considered an ongoing work in progress. You can expect new and revised rules to keep showing up every month or so at the federal, state and local levels, and while the SEC appears willing to consider some minor changes to existing regulations, possibly scaling back rules affecting smaller companies, dont expect any sweeping changes. And with the new rules being added and existing rules being revised, expect both legal spend and accounting costs to continue to soar for many years to come. Richard A.

By Bryan Miller So you’re fat. Big deal. Everyone at some point is caught in the crossfire of the battle of the bulge. It’s a seemingly unending struggle for some, but a quick bout for others. But none-the-less, it is a battle, and a tough one, at that. Sadly, our enemy, the gut that hangs in front of us, is a fierce one, and an enemy demanding respect. Football teams, countries at war, debaters, diplomats, and presidential candidates all know the secret to winning a competition, or bout of any sort. They send out spies, watch tapes of the competing teams, and they research for the knowledge on how to conquer their opponents. They back up their fight with knowledge of the weak points in their enemy, and then… they exploit them mercilessly. This is the approach one must take when fighting the oppression of obesity. It is a battle, for most, and will always be a battle as long as there is too much food, and a lot less work. What I am about to give you are some insider, confidential, key components on fat that you may not know. They will help you win this uphill battle against your ever-growing, always widening waist-line. These are confidential, hard to find tips that will help you know your body’s method of storing fat, and how you can exploit them, use their tactics against them, and ultimately overcome. Stand tall, for you will be the victor. Warning! Do not read if you are looking to lose fat fast and expect to keep it off. These peeks into the human body are meant only for those with the guts (or bellies) to work hard for healthy, effective fat loss, not those wishing to get-thin-quick, and potentially gain more weight back. Although you are the deciding factor of how fast you lose weight, this is merely placing knowledge in your arsenal, not telling you what to do. If you are willing, then continue reading. The next exposing secrets will help you understand your enemy “Fat”, and will further your efforts in weight loss: Peek 1: Why Your Body is Already Perfect.. The body is built for performance. It is a perfect engine that needs admiration for it’s designer, whether you believe it’s God or evolution, studying the body is almost like studying outer space - it is absolutely too complex to take in all at once. It’s a perfect machine that will work exactly how it should, when it should, and without defect. Even when someone thinks something is wrong, the body is working right. This is the difference between the mind and the body. The body never wants, it always needs. The mind wants, but rarely realizes the needs. The body needs fat, but the mind wants the body to look firm, without fat. So to begin creating the body that your mind wants, you must first respect the perfect engine that is the body. Peek 2: Is Fat a Friend or a Foe? Not all fat is bad for you. In some cases, fat is very good for you. There are some vitamins that can only be absorbed when fat is present. Hormones depend on fat a large percent of the time. Women who are nursing, those with broken bones, and new born babies all need fat in some fashion. It’s the amount of fat, and the type of fat that makes it a harm, or a help. Fat around the middle? Bad. Enough said. I do in depth studies, and like to make people scared about having a fat belly at my blog. Mid-section fat is a very scary thing because it is around your vital organs, especially your liver and heart. If these are fatty, you’re more prone to have heart disease, or liver failure. And I think you can agree with me that that is a bad thing. But there is some fat in the body that is needed. Cholesterol in the body can be converted to energy through the liver. And all fat is a source of energy for daily activities. Without fat, you’d be tired, but with too much - well, I won’t go so far as to say you could die young, that would be too scary. Peek 3: How Did This Fiend - Fat - Get There? Fat is introduced into the body at the very youngest of ages. It’s given to us by our mom’s while we are yet alien-shaped fetuses in her body. This is a natural part of life. The only problem is when we get older, we eat way more than our body needs. So when the body (again, that perfect machine that it is) sees all this extra, it goes into performance mode, and stores this extra bit of energy for later as fat. With this in no one’s consideration, however, we continually place our body in that constant mode of “must store”. And our fat cells continue to grow. Then, when they have no more space in which to grow inside these tiny balloons, they multiply. Peek 4: The Invincible Enemy. Once you have a fat cell in your body, you cannot lose them. You can lose the stored triglycerides inside the cell, but never lose the cell itself. Once you’ve got adipose tissue, you’ve always got adipose tissue. There’s not removing it unless you opt for dangerous, health hazardous procedures such as liposuction or a tummy tuck. The fat cells in your body can only shrink. They are your friends for life. And not without giving you a share of trouble, either. Because these new additions to your body now have memory. They realize what they use to have was gone, and they lust after it. Peek 5: Winning the Battle Doesn’t Win You the War. The body has a set method of maintaining itself. It’s complexity and set ways make it almost impossible to lose weight fast and keep it off. Since the body is built for performance, it sets itself at its most desired point, and it expects to stay there. This is why underweight people find it so difficult to gain weight and keep it on. And why overweight people who lose weight quickly, tend to gain it all back. The body’s fat cells, and the body’s desired way of living is actually set. And breaking that pattern too quickly causes the body to “reset” itself to get to that point again. This is why gaining and losing weight is so popular nowadays. Because people want fast results without taking into consideration the perfect engine that is the body. The mind wants it now, because it expects it now. The body realizes that there are needs, and steps, and rules to losing that weight effectively. So now you know the enemy. Now you see what you are up against. You know that your body works perfectly, that fat is only a “side effect” of eating extra calories, and that you can never lose these fat cells. But what now? How do I exploit these new found attributes to the enemy? With forceful war tactics, of course. Tactic 1: Using Your Body Against Itself - What Your Mind Doesn’t Want You To Know. The body burns fat for energy. So you must exert energy to burn fat. Your body stores fat for energy, so eat like you don’t want any extra fat. This is how you can use your mind (now filled with knowledge) to burn more fat by using the body’s natural method of living against itself. This is not cannibalism, this is smart living. Tactic 2: Treat Fat As A Friend. Do not be afraid of fat. Fat is good at times. Eat plenty of “good fats” because they are great for the heart. Omegas 3 - 6 - 9 are all fantastic for your health, as well as help mobilize even more fat, and are readily available for energy burning. Stay away from hydrogenated oils. These are actually more damaging than real fat. Without getting into the chemical breakdown of these oils, I will just say that they act more like free radicals in your body than actual food. Tactic 3: Learn To Accept Fat. Some people are more naturally bent toward being heavy. Others are bent toward being slimmer. The mind is a powerful thing and can reek havoc on those who are not content with the natural selection of their body. Learn to be confident in your skin, even if you are not as thin as you think you should be. Strive for healthy. You will live longer if you are healthy. Change the desires in your mind to do the best you can, but never challenge your body to be something it can’t ever be. But never settle for lazy, always strive; but be considerate of your body. Tactic 4: Liposuction is Not The Answer. Even though I am not in a position to tell you what to do, I can advise you not to get liposuction. That doesn’t defeat the problem, it just prolongs the issue. Your mind will remember every craving, every habit previous to the liposuction, and you’ll never learn to control yourself and work toward your goals. Learn how to shift your desires through goals and hard work so that you can meet those expectations in every day life, and never just settle for the easy task. Tactic 5: Work Smarter, Not Harder. If you lose weight too fast, you will ultimately gain it back. Don’t go on fad diets that promise quick results. Change your entire body by changing your entire lifestyle and eating. Your body will then come following. If you lose weight too quickly, you’re apt to gain back every ounce, even more! Change the way your body works by changing your habits, your routines, and your eating habits. Slowly your body will begin doing the work for you, and your mind and body will work together in harmony to create the body you’ve always dreamed of. Nothing came from those who didn’t work. If a farmer plants a seed, it doesn’t grow unless he waters it. And he waters it smarter than he does harder. Take the appropriate steps, and you will be rewarded. Take the easy path, and you’ll drown you seed, and never produce a crop. Want more information? Learn how to flatten your belly at my official blog: http://www.bellyfatology.com.

By Khieng Chho Do you remember the story of a burning bush? Do you know what type of plant is a bush? When you hear the word bush, the first thing that will come to your mind is the ancient story of a burning bush. Surely, this type of plant marked in your memory from your childhood to the present. Shrub or a bush is just the same. This is a horticultural woody plant. However, this is distinct from a tree because of its multiple stems and lower height and measures less than 6 meters. It does not also have a sturdy trunk like a tree. Planting shrub is easy. There is also a perfect time for planting one. If you want to include shrub plant as one of your collections in the garden you can do so. Surely, the shrub will add beauty to your garden or landscape. For better results on shrub growth, you can follow the following steps in plating shrub: It is good to plant shrub during winter season and early morning of spring. This is the time when the soil is not frozen. The new roots should shred freely underground so it is better to have good climate. If the soil is frozen or the sun is too hot it will not grow well. Make sure that the roots are cleaned. Remove the dead roots because it can affect the growth of the plant. You can soak the roots of the bush for about 1 to four hours before planting. This will help in keeping moisture to the plant. Dig a hole that is deep enough for the roots. Use a shovel to loosen the soil so that it will not solidify. Plant the shrub to the hole. Fill it halfway with the soil and tamp it with your foot. After you finished in filling the soil, keep it moist and apply mulch into it. This will make the shrub healthy. Monitor it as frequent as possible and if you observe yellow leaves falling water the shrub. The key here is to choose the right shrub that can thrive to the kind of soil that you have in your garden. The roots of the shrub should not be confined to the good soil alone because it can result to a weak plant. Constant watering is also the secret to a good growth of the shrub plant.

By Yuri Elkaim With an increasingly aging population in North America, the need for a safe and effective exercise regime is needed. As the Baby Boomers approach the golden years high impact exercises like running have taken a back seat to other lower impact exercise modalities such as cycling and walking. The search for a low impact, effective, and health promoting workout can be found very easily by walking on a daily basis. As such, walking is now the most popular form of exercise among North Americans. It is a year-round, readily repeatable, self-reinforcing, habit-forming activity and the main option for increasing physical activity in sedentary populations. Walking is ideal as a gentle start-up for the sedentary, including the inactive, immobile elderly, bringing a bonus of independence and social well-being. Walking is a rhythmic, dynamic, aerobic activity of large skeletal muscles that results in numerous benefits and minimal adverse effects. Walking, faster than customary, and regularly in sufficient quantity into the ‘training zone’ of over 70% of maximal heart rate, develops and sustains physical fitness. Muscles of the legs, pelvis and lower trunk are strengthened and the flexibility of their joints preserved; as a result, posture and carriage may improve. Any amount of walking, and at any pace, expends energy and therefore the potential for long term weight control as a result of walking is present. Dynamic aerobic exercise, as in walking, enhances a multitude of bodily processes that are inherent in skeletal muscle activity, including the metabolism of high density lipoproteins and insulin/glucose dynamics. Walking is also the most common weight-bearing activity, and there are indications at all ages of an increase in related bone strength. Walking is beneficial through engendering improved fitness and/or greater physiological activity and energy turnover. There is, nevertheless, growing evidence of gains in the prevention of heart attack and reduction of total death rates, in the treatment of hypertension, intermittent claudications and musculoskeletal disorders, and in rehabilitation after heart attack and in chronic respiratory disease. The following are some examples of the benefits of walking on a regular basis: Benefits of regular walking while golfing A study by Parkkari and colleagues investigated the potential health benefits of walking while playing 18 holes of golf among 55 sedentary men aged 48-64. After the 20-week study, the researchers found that the golfers (playing 2-3x/week) who walked while playing showed significant improvements in aerobic endurance and core endurance. In addition, they also found that walking favourably affected body composition, including reductions in weight of 1.4 kg, in waist circumference by 2.2 cm, and abdominal skin fold thickness by 2.2 cm. The golfers who walked also showed improved cholesterol and HDL/LDL levels in the blood. Walking to prevent osteoporosis in the elderly Because bone structure is maintained by the force of gravity (upright posture) and the lateral forces resulting from muscular contraction, weight bearing activities such as walking are better than cycling and swimming for maintaining spine and hip mineral integrity. Further, it may be safer to stay with a walking program since walking only produces forces up 1.5-2x body weight on each foot strike versus running which imposes forces of up to 3-4x body weight during each foot strike. As such, injuries are not as common in walking when compared to running. Research has shown that as little as 2-3 hours of weight bearing exercise (ie. walking) per week may reduce the expected rate of bone mineral loss with age. Walking to reduce cardiovascular events Numerous studies have shown the benefits of walking in preventing cardiovascular disease. A 2002 study in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that walking on a regular basis was associated with substantial reductions in the incidence of cardiovascular events among 73,743 postmenopausal women. Other studies displaying the inverse relationship between walking and cardiovascular events are very common including a study by Rastogi and colleagues who showed that as much as 35-40 minutes per day of brisk walking was protective for coronary heart disease. Walking for weight loss As previously mentioned walking is a form of physical activity, and therefore burns calories. Obviously, the amount of energy expenditure will depend on the nature and intensity of the exercise. It has been shown that for walking speeds of up to 3.5 mph the caloric expenditure is 0.77 kcal/kg/mile. Therefore, if you weigh 75 kg and walked at 4 mph, you would be burning 58 kcal/mile. Over 10 miles that would equate to 580 kcal. This number is roughly half of what you would burn if running at 7 mph. Regardless of your speed, walking is ideal for burning fat since its intensity ( purchase zolpidem sniffing ambien lorazepam site ambien and mood swings

By Susan Du Plessis Abdominoplasty, also known as a “tummy-tuck,” is an elective cosmetic surgical procedure. It is major invasive surgery, which removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen. It also tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. However, it also produces a permanent large scar, which can extend from hip to hip, depending upon the extent of the procedure. If you are considering abdominoplasty, this article will give you a basic understanding of when it can help, whom it can help, how it is performed, and results you can expect. IS THIS PROCEDURE RIGHT FOR ME? The best candidates for abdominoplasty are emotionally stable men and women who are in relatively good shape, close to their ideal body weight, and who have good overall skin elasticity, but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won’t respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly helpful to women who have lost elasticity in the muscles and skin of the abdomen due to multiple pregnancies. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients because of weight loss can also be improved. Abdominoplasty is not a “one size fits all” procedure; it is unique for each patient. Much depends upon the joint decisions made by the patient and his or her surgeon. Patients who plan to lose a lot of weight should postpone surgery until after they have achieved their desired weight. Young women who plan future pregnancies should also wait, since vertical muscles in the abdomen, which are tightened during surgery, can separate during pregnancy. If you have heavy scarring from previous abdominal surgeries, your doctor may advise against an abdominoplasty because of the possibility of unusually prominent scars. COST CONSIDERATIONS An abdominoplasty is an expensive surgery. The average cost ranges from $5,000 to $9,000. In addition to the cost of abdominoplasty, a liposuction might require an additional $2,700, or more. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery’s 2005 Procedural Census, 32.4% of all member surgeons have performed abdominoplasties. The “tummy-tuck” lies near the middle of popular plastic surgery procedures; since liposuction is number one that would make the abdominoplasty procedure near the top in popularity when it is combined with liposuction. WHAT RISKS ARE INVOLVED? When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, one trained in body contouring, the results are normally more than satisfactory. However, as with all surgical procedures, there are some risks associated with abdominoplasty. There are also specific complications associated with the procedure. These include: infection, blood clots, and poor healing, which can result in heavy scarring. Infection can be treated with antibiotics and drainage. The risk of blood clots can be minimized by moving around as soon after surgery as is possible. Poor healing and scarring may require additional surgery. Smoking can increase the risk of complications and hinder healing. By following your surgeon’s instructions carefully before and after surgery, you can significantly reduce your risk of complications. FINDING THE RIGHT SURGEON Before electing to have abdominoplasty you must find a qualified surgeon. One who is board certified. Be wary of any doctor who identifies him or herself as simply “board certified.” All certification boards are not the same; you need to understand exactly what the “board certification” means. In the United States there are several plastic surgery certifications: the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS); the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS); and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). Claims of board certification can be verified by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Be sure that the doctor is board certified specifically in the area of abdominoplasty plastic surgery. In Canada make certain that the surgeon is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. To find a plastic surgeon that performs this procedure in your area, visit the online referral service of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). It is the largest plastic surgery organization in the world, and is the foremost authority on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. All ASPS physicians are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. THE CONSULTATION PROCESS Many plastic surgeons do not charge for the initial consultation. The surgeon will evaluate your medical history and ask about your health habits. Be as honest and upfront as possible in answering each question. Be specific about what you want done, and what you hope to achieve. If your plastic surgeon fully understands your expectation, he or she will be able to determine whether or not your goals are realistic. Tell the surgeon if you smoke, or have health or medical conditions or complications. The surgeon will ask you about you family medical history, especially your parents and siblings. He or she may want to run some tests to rule out certain diseases. Ask questions and request specific, not vague, answers. If you have any concerns, share them. Discuss with the surgeon what procedure is right for you, and ask exactly what that procedure will entail. TYPES OF ABDOMINOPLASTIES There are two different types of abdominoplasties: the “mini-abdominoplasty,” and the more invasive type, “abdominoplasty.” Both these surgeries may involve liposuction. In both surgeries skin and fat are cut away from the abdomen. In a mini-abdominoplasty an incision is made just above the pubic area; fat and excess skin is removed from the middle and lower abdomen. The navel is pulled lower to compensate for the stretching and removing of skin. Minimal or no abdominal tightening will be required. Recovery time is usually very quick. A full abdominoplasty requires a much larger incision. Skin is separated from the abdominal wall, all the way up to the ribs. Muscles are sewn together to tighten them, and a significant amount of skin is removed, requiring the patient to be bent over for 10 to 14 days. Usually within 2 to 3 weeks the patient is able to resume normal activity, except for lifting. There should be no lifting or pushing, putting strain on the stomach muscles, for up to 2 months. THE SURGERY ITSELF Complete abdominoplasty usually takes 2 to 5 hours, depending upon the extent of the work needed. The surgeon will make a long incision from hipbone to hipbone, just above the pubic area. A second incision is made to free the navel from surrounding tissue. The surgeon will separate the skin from the abdominal wall, lifting a large skin flap to expose the abdominal muscles. The muscles are sewn together to firm the abdominal wall and narrow the waistline. The skin flap will be stretched, and excess skin removed. A new opening will be cut for the navel, which will be stitched in place. Incisions will be stitched closed, and dressings will be applied. A temporary tube may be inserted to drain off excess fluid. Partial abdominoplasty may take just over an hour or two. The incision is much shorter, and although it may be pulled into an unnatural shape once the skin is tightened and stitched, the navel usually does not require relocation. Both types of surgeries may require liposuction. Surgeries for both types of procedures can be performed using either general or local anesthesia. When local anesthesia is used, you will be relaxed and pain free, but may feel some tugging or pulling. Depending upon your doctor, your surgery will be performed in either a hospital or an outpatient surgical center. AFTER SURGERY After the surgery you may be swollen and in pain, which can be controlled by medication. Depending upon the type of surgery performed, you may be released within a few hours, or remain hospitalized for up to 3 days. Your doctor will give you instructions in your post-operative care. Although you might not be able to stand up straight, you should start walking as soon as possible to reduce the risk of blood clots. Surface stitches will be removed within a week; deeper sutures protruding through the skin will be removed in 2 - 3 weeks. The dressing on your incision may be replaced by a support garment. It may take weeks, even months, to fully recover from surgery. The better your physical condition is prior to surgery, the shorter the expected recovery time. Some people return to work within a couple of weeks; other people can take up to a month to recover enough to return to work. A low-impact exercise program, such as yoga, will help you heal faster, reduce swelling, tone the muscles, and lower your chances of blood clots. Getting plenty of rest and eating a healthy diet will also help you to heal faster. A word about scarring: your scars may appear to worsen during the first three to six months. This is normal, and will be only temporary. Expect it to take several months or up to a full year for the scars to flatten, and lighten in color. While scars will not be noticeable under clothing, even when wearing a bathing suit, they will always be visible on the skin. SUMMARY In most cases the results of abdominoplasty are long lasting as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eat wisely, and get proper exercise. If you are realistic in your expectations and are prepared for a permanent scar and lengthy recovery time, chances are you will be very happy with the end result. If you have large deposits of body fat in the stomach region that you want removed, or loose abdominal skin that won’t respond to diet or exercise, abdominoplasty may just be the right choice for you. But you, and only you, should make that decision.

By Ken Marlborough Most people think that when the heat of the summer sun is replaced by the fresh coolness of the fall air, the flowers die as well. Of course not, because there are many colorful and beautiful fall blooms that can be used to make flower arrangements for your home or office. Fall flowers like the calendula, pansy, viola, and petunia contribute a sense of warmth and into your home despite the chill of the season. Fall flowers come in various vibrant shades of deep, rich colors. Yellows, oranges, and reds signify the harvest and the glowing fire that can keep our hands warm during the chilly autumn nights. Flowers such as sunflowers, asters, mums, lilies, and daisies, together with a host of ornamental grasses, come in a great variety of colors that can brighten up and give more emphasis on your home decor, especially during the holidays of Halloween and Thanksgiving. By including a variety of fall blooms in your home flower arrangement, you can add an appealing and warm feeling to your home. While leaves are continuously falling off from trees and the bright green lawns of summer are fading, a beautiful arrangement of flowers can contrast the end of a growing season. Either inside the house or out in the garden, having fall flowers arrangements is a great way to establish the rich colors and warmth of the season into your space. By displaying vivid yellows, oranges, and reds of the mums, sunflowers, and asters, you can depict the sense of harvest, emotion, and tenderness that the autumn season is really about.

By Brenda Lafferty Have you ever asked yourself what could I give a person that has everything??? What could I give, as a gift of my love to someone??? Time!!! Your time is the most valuable thing that you could give to someone that you love. Spending quality time with your loved ones, is an immeasurable quantity of love. So often we make plans to spend time with our loved ones, awaiting moments that are suitable, appropriate or even convenient for us. Those moments of wishing, waiting and planning for the right time, are moments that can never be replaced. To often there are times when we allow things such as work & stress to supersede our desires to devote time to family. If you would take a moment to make a conscious effort to assign your physical & mental time to the things that are important, the things that make you smile, the things that create happiness in your life, it will ultimately relieve you from the stress and anxieties of your everyday life. Remember, when the nan’s, nanna’s, grannies and grandma of yesterday would spend months in quiet delight, creating works of love from the heart, passionately blueprinting every stitch, creating there very own special gift of love. Those quilts, comforter, latch hooked rugs and afghans became a treasured gift that we all will always love and cherish. A keepsake to remember the precious time that was given to us. It may indeed be impossible in some instances to spend time with the ones we love, however we can always keep them and hold them dear in our hearts by remembering them with a time held tradition of making them crafty gifts of love. A creative gift made with your very own hands and filled with the love of your heart will express more then time can reveal. So, in choosing your next gift to give to a loved one, it may be wise to put something crafty on your list.

By Charles Kassotis When you look into the mirror after a shower, do you find any wrinkled or puckered skin? This is what many people call cellulite, and it often tends to appear on the buttocks or thighs, although it can show up almost anywhere. Cellulite is basically evidence of extra fat stores under the skins surface. Although it doesnt differ markedly from other types of fat, some people believe it is stubborn and harder to get rid of. There is no magical formula to whittle away cellulite from your body. Actually, you can make it disappear in the same way as you get rid of other areas of fat, like on the upper arms or the face. Although you can find special products sold on the Internet or in health food stores that claim to target cellulite, there is no solid evidence that they work. Nor can you rub it away, as some brush or loofah-type products purport. Instead, you will have to go about losing it the same way as you would extra pounds on other parts of your body. Here are some common and healthy ways to start reducing your cellulite. 1. Cut back on eating fatty foods. Tasty dishes like deep-fried items, butter-rich desserts or side dishes, greasy red meat, and other fat-laden entrees or snacks can rapidly pile on the pounds and dimple your skin. Eat spare portions of these things. If youre not sure which foods have high fat content, check packages or calorie counters to find out. 2. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Fresh veggies, especially, are tasty and good for you. They are full of water, which helps to flush out your system and get rid of fatty deposits that may be bunching under your skin. Snack on a variety of colors in your plant foods, from green celery to purple plums and orange peaches. Youll stock your system with healthy nutrients, displacing the urge to snack on fatty food items. 3. Drink plenty of water. Most people should try to have eight glasses (eight ounces each) daily, or even one or two glasses more while exercising or in hot weather. This helps to keep your body hydrated, flushes toxins, and may even make you feel fuller so youll have fewer food cravings. Water is a natural cleanser that can remove harmful substances and nourish each cell. 4. Exercise regularly. Check with your doctor about the plan that is right for you, and then get started. Depending on your health and overall condition, you can probably choose from several types of exercise, including walking, hiking, swimming, biking, tennis, or jogging. Aim for 30 minutes a day to start, unless your doctor says otherwise. Gradually increase the frequency and intensity of your workout, and you will see quicker results. Making a few basic lifestyle changes will help you get rid of cellulite for good. Ask your doctor to approve changes like these, and then watch that cellulite disappear!
