Five Tips On How To Care For Books

By Justine Eaglestone There are four main reasons a particular book may be precious to you. It may have a high market value, be exceptionally beautiful or meaningful, it may have taught you something, or have some external sentimental value to you, the owner. Most books you keep will fall into one or more categories. Whatever the reasons, your valuable books need special care. 1 The drier the storage area the better
You are unlikely to move from a sub-tropical region to a desert to give your best-loved books a better chance at a long, undamaged life but there are simple precautions you can take with regard to damp areas. If you have a choice, rather keep a valuable book in a city apartment than at a beach house. Sea air makes books fungal and smelly. Keep your books far away from damp spots in your office or home such as kitchen, laundry and bathroom. They should also be kept away from exterior walls, particularly in cold regions with high rainfall rates. 2 Use a proper book shelf
Ideally a shelf made for the specific purpose of housing books should be used. Stone or cement shelves encourage dampness and should be avoided. Your book shelf should be made of firm timber, not a cheap ersatz wood (like pressed board) which bends easily. Pine strips balancing on bricks at either end are just no good. Books are heavy and the shelf will probably bend, damaging the books. A proper bookshelf has struts at irregular intervals between shelves for additional support. Preferably your bookshelf should have some kind of backing. A cheaper material will be alright but try not to back it up against an exterior wall. First prize would be to have a glass front to the bookshelf to shelter books against damp and dust. 3 Dont let your books lean or lie down
One full book shelf is preferable to two or three partially filled bookshelves. This does not mean the books should be so jammed together that they cannot breathe. That can lead to damage when you try to extract a book from the shelf. They should be standing firmly upright and definitely not leaning over. The spines of books are not good at handling angles. Usually the spines become loose and pliable after a while. That is the first step towards the binding unraveling. Also never allow books to lie horizontally on top of each other. Books are heavy and damage can result to the lower books. 4 Avoid sun spots and artificial heat sources
Too often the sun slants in at a door and window causing damage or sunburn to books, particularly the spines of the dust-jackets. Positioning your bookshelf in the room is the correct solution to this. Also do not put books on the lowest shelf of a bookshelf where there is under-floor heating. Bookshelves should never be placed near to fireplaces, oil heaters or central heating points. With this artificial heating eventually the books will become brittle and lose their original character. 5 Apply strict rules about book use
To enjoy peace of mind about your books you will have to apply strict house rules about their handling and use. These might include: no writing in books, no bending of pages to keep places (use bookmarks), put books back in their proper places after reading and no books to leave the house. It may sound harsh but I advise you never to lend your books to anyone. There is nothing worse than lending someone a book and realizing months later that it was never returned. It is an extraordinary fact that otherwise law-abiding and considerate people think nothing of stealing a book from a friend. If you entertain a lot, keep a number of books that visitors are welcome to take with them, such as popular bestsellers. Leave them where they are likely to be seen and chosen.

The Biggest Secret In Internet Marketing

By A Nghiem In the Internet marketing world, there are many misconceptions and outright lies. But the biggest secret is one that is so obvious that nobody wants to talk about or is even aware of. In this article, I share what I (and many world class marketers) consider to be the biggest secret in Internet marketing. At this point, youre probably wondering? Whats the BIGGEST secret? Before I share this secret with you, let me share a common mistake committed by 99% of Internet marketers. Almost all Internet marketers I know can quote you their opt-in rate and spend hours, days, weeks and even months tweaking their landing pages to get the highest opt-in rate. This is accomplished by asking for as little customer information as possible and casting as wide a net as possible. This usually requires asking for only the first name and the primary email address. In many industries, this results in optimizing for the wrong results. What do I mean by that? I spend a lot of time in multiple industries other than Internet marketing (including real estate, art, etc.) and for a long time, I was focusing on increasing my opt-in rate but rarely closed any sales (my sales for my products and my clients products range from $997 to $25,000 per sale). When I thought about it, I realized that in all of these industries and especially at these price points, the sale is accomplished via the phone, not via the Web. Thus, without realizing it, I wasnt collecting all the necessary information for me to complete a sale (that is, I wasnt asking for a phone number because I knew this would reduce my opt-in rate). Most of the gurus who are teaching list building dont take into account industries that conduct business primarily offline and/or the fact that high-end products are not closed via email alone. Heck, I am not sure that any of them has ever tested their methods in offline businesses! Now, I do a 2-step opt-in rate that allows me to have the highest opt-in rate on the first page and then ask for additional info (including the phone number and mailing address) on the thank you screen. This enables me to follow up via offline methods including postcards, direct mail and even telemarketing. What does this have to do with the biggest secret in Internet marketing? Simplethe most valuable leads often require you to follow up using offline methods. However, this contradicts almost all list building techniques being taught, which almost always teach how to get the highest opt-in rate. In this case, I made more money by having a lower opt-in ratebut I got higher quality leads, which enable me to follow up via offline methods. Again, in many, many industries, the sales happen via the phone and in some cases via the fax and direct mail. So, before you spend too much time focusing on optimizing your opt-in rate alone, think through the sales process and figure out what is the best way to close the sale and collect information for that to happen, even if it means a lower opt-in rate. Now that you know the biggest secret in Internet marketing and the next time somebody brags about their 50% opt-in rate, you will know that he/she is probably optimizing on the wrong thing and leaving WAY too much money on the table.

Fading Relationships, Spark Loss, and New Loves

By Kathleen Lieu Now and forever, a concept now lost when even the seven year itch has become the two year itch. What happens is that people fall into ruts, become adjusted in a relationship, and the mundane routines of couple-hood becomes tiresome. Though it is comfortable to be with someone close, it becomes more of something one is used to, and excitement is lost. Relationships break apart and hearts wander. The biggest no-no in a relationship is a lack of communication and understanding. Females tend to think everyone knows what they are feeling and what they are thinking, and when seemingly no one understands-- because people aren't born to read minds, literally-- females become depressed. Males tend to be insensitive, this is true, but that is again because they can not read minds. In a relationship, do not keep feelings to oneself. If one is unhappy with something, state it, keep it out in the open. This way, a relationship can grow instead of falling apart. The need for someone new, for freshness... This usually happens if one is in close contact with someone else other than his/her significant other. Finally, understand this. It really is good enough that he or she loves you. Being an animal, people tend to be fickle. A guy will look at other pretty girls, who in turn can easily turn them on. A guy will fantasize about someone else, will develop crushes on celebrities or someone unobtainable, brilliant, and intelligent. Women will do the very same. We are beings who are born to strive, born to conquer, born to try new things... It is sad, but if one is satisfied to know one is loved, that should be enough. Otherwise, heartbreak and jealousy would ensue. Downfalls of Long Distance Relationships: There is physical yearning. For teenagers, long distance relationships tend to shatter quicker and easier. For older couples, the success rates of LDRs are higher. Why is that? Temptation and feelings. Are teenage romances really strong and etched with true feelings? Being a teenager in school, chances are, one is easier to find someone else in an environment one is stuck in nearly everyday of the week. As for older couples, pitfalls lay in one's work environment. Downfalls of Marriages Temptations and when a couple cease to become a couple but just the mother and the father, well, good luck. Plan dates, have fun, relive romances. Don't forget, though you are in longer in love with each other, you love each other. Why Females Begin to Hate their Significant Others Continual disappointments will lead to this. Comparisons with other men as well. A female is a character of romance. She will always want to be swept away. If another man pays more attention to her, remembers what she likes, pursues her interests, and steals her heart with little romantic deeds/encounters, she will start to wonder about her significant other, and what could have been if she were with the other person. Her heart will slowly stop beating for her significant other for another... Chances are, many things happened for a relationship to occur. Six billion people in the world and you end up with him or her. Is it fate? Is it destiny? In this fast moving world, so many others out there can be your fate, your destiny. Of course, there are success stories out there. Love rests on the person. Will love be abused or treasured? Why do people cheat and hurt people they once loved? People are very selfish beings, that is why. In the end, for a female, she will choose who she thinks will love her the most. Or maybe not. But anyway, love is fire-- it burns. Relationship Advice Don't be a cheater! Communicate! No one can read minds! Avoid prolonging hopeless relationships. Move on when necessary. Don't expect forever. Remain strong. With love, chances are, one can fail... Just understand, people are selfish. We will hurt others to avoid hurting ourselves and to fulfill our wants. There are six billion people out there. Sometimes, he or she may really not be the One... Please visit Nummyz.com for more information on the author and articles by Kathleen Lieu.

Relationship Advice: I is for Ice

By Jeff Herring When we think of the kind of ongoing love relationship we would desire to live in, one of the things we think of is a sense of warmth. At the same time, there are times in love relationships when it can get quite chilly. When anger, resentment and other negative feelings have built up, the relationship can feel as cold as ice. Once it gets icey in a relationship, we can either deepen the ice or break the ice. How to deepen the ice => Do your part to keep up the silent treatment. Believe it is healthy and useful. => Rehearse whatever wrongs have been committed over and over in your mind. Do not let them pass. => Bring others into the situation and try to convince them you are a victim and your partner is a villain. => Take verbal shots at each other. How to break the ice => Take responsibility for your part in the mess you both have created. => Be first - to apologize, break the silence, break the ice. Being first makes you the bigger person. Take the lead. => Agree that more than a few seconds of the silent treatment is unacceptable. => Refuse to accept the silent treatment as an option in the relationship. While storms in love relationships are inevitable, remember that ice is optional. Visit http://www.SecretsofGreatRelationships.com for tips and tools for creating and growing a great relationship.

FLY TACKS, a new product from TWO GUYS WITH FLYS, INK, previously the makers of nothing!! FLY TACKS are handsomely, hand-tied flies from Oregon, that are PUSHPINS. Thats right, no more boring bulletin boards around the office. Who wouldnt like to have the latest company memo held in place by the ever present GREEN BUTTED SKUNK? Everyone will notice the latest pay scale increases when they are posted by the always popular EGG SUCKING LEECH. Got a co-worker that always claims he couldnt find your message? Stick it to his pile with a MUDDLER MINNOW, and he is sure to get the point!!!! All kidding aside, fishermen and non-fishermen alike, will enjoy these conversation pieces,and the gold plated pushpins are a handsome addition to any bulletin board. FLY TACKS are the brainstorm of two really bored fishermen in Oregon who obviously have been spending too much time playing with their flies. After deciding their flies were obviously not going to catch any fish, they found the best use for them holding up their losing lottery tickets, and thus FLY TACKS were born. The two corporate moguls, who obviously have no sense of timing, have come out with their product just in time to miss all the Christmas catalogs. They have no budget for advertising and are hoping to cash in on the lucrative free business article strategy. Stoly Hackle, winner of the annual CEO coin flip, is hoping to get thousands of orders so P.D. Good, Production Manager, will be forced to spend the holidays assembling FLY TACKS in his living room. Not to mention the five-dollar bet that Hackle will cash in on if he manages to get five orders from this venture.
FLY TACKS are the perfect gift for every fisherman or fisherwomen on your holiday giving list. FLY TACKS make a great conversation piece in the office, and are the perfect way to liven up the usually dull bulletin board. Your boss will love them! Fly Tacks have already been featured in numerous newspapers,like the Times Picayune,Reno Gazette, and Sacramento Bee.The "Two Guys" have appeared on the Portland Oregon morning show as well as several radio interviews.They have even been recommended by Cosmopolitan Magazine as: "One of the gifts to get that NEW GUY you are dating." If you can't trust Cosmo--who can you trust!!! TWO GUYS WITH FLYS, INK. also have t-shirts and bumper stickers available, as well as several other fly products. All flys are beautifully hand-tied. Some are tied by" ex-friends" who had to meet the original deadline for production!! FLY TACKS come in two flavors I mean styles, TROUT FLY TACKS and STEELHEAD FLY TACKS. For $19.95 + $5.00 shipping, handling, and first aid costs. You will receive four beautifully hand-tied flys on gold plated push pins, sent to you in a plastic case, which can be used as a fly box for your "outdoor fly experiences." If you get tired of looking at those flys on your bulletin board--simply grab a hammer and destroy your fly tack--and you will have common ordinary hand tied flys that you can go fishing with. PLUS you still have 4 gold plated pushpins that a guy named "Franco" in Rhode Island worked so hard to produce... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE... no wait..... I guess there isn't more--so hurry up and order before P.D. does that "nanner-nanner I told you so thing"-- I hate that. Order from: TWO GUYS WITH FLYS, INK., 9 east 4th st., Medford, Or. 97501 www.twoguyswithflys.com Or you can call a live person at: 541-941-0139 "Used" Fly Tacks available for media upon written request.

5 Ways to Save on Wedding Decor

By Cori Locklin After selecting the perfect reception site, its all about the details. Consider the venue a blank canvas upon which to create your stylistic masterpiece. Event dcor can make or break the ambiance, but dont assume it has to break your wedding budget. Rememberless is always more. With my sound advice, you can find simple ways to get the most bang for your decorating buck. Choose Wisely -
Make your wedding venue work for you not against you. Find a ceremony and reception site that complements your desired style so that you dont have to decorate around it with pricey floral arrangements. For instance, if you envision a relaxed natural setting, go with a park or botanical garden. Or for a formal stately affair, consider a museum or historical building, with dominant architecture as your wedding backdrop. Something Borrowed -
Add a personalized touch and honor your heritage by using family photos as wedding dcor pieces. Gather some stylish frames and ask for photos from both sides from the family (black and white works perfectly here). These inexpensive touches can embellish your guest book table or decorate otherwise dcor-impaired spaces in the facility. Think Double Duty -
Wedding flowers are pricey, so make your floral arrangements earn their keep. Invite your ceremony flowers to the reception! You can use them to decorate your cake or gift table and your guests will never be the wiser. Go For Impact -
Unfortunately, some elements of your special day simply go unnoticed by guests. So if your budget wont allow you to drape your entire reception area in stylish dcor pieces, relax. You can still create a noticeable impact by saving your decorating dollars for the areas that will pack the biggest punch such as the entranceway. See The Light -
The right lighting can transform an ordinary room into something extraordinary. If hiring a lighting technician is out of your budget, consider creating this effect with candles. Fill glass bowls with floating candles and flowers, or place a single pillar candle in a hurricane lantern for a dramatic effect. The result is romantic and elegantand inexpensive.

Flu Shots - Beware of Toxic Additives

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sherri_Tenpenny,_DO] Sherri Tenpenny, DO One year ago this month, The Washington Post ran a story that not only extolled the use of the influenza vaccines but pushed for a new and improved version by saying, Why wait for the pandemic to benefit from better flu vaccines?(1) The story went on to say that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is planning to strengthen the flu shot destined for the elderly by adding an immune-boosting compound to the shot called an adjuvant. An adjuvant is a substance added to produce a high antibody response using the smallest amount of virus (antigen) possible. By definition adjuvants are considered to be pharmacologically active drugs. They are designed to be inert without inherent activity or toxicity and yet they are required to potently augment effects of the other compounds in the vaccines. It is difficult to explain how a substance can be defined as pharmacologically active and at the same time be described as inert and have no activity or toxicity. The limiting factor for approval of new adjuvants has been that most are far too toxic for use in humans. However, one adjuvant has been approved in Europe and its approval is on the way for use in the U.S. It is an oil-based adjuvant called MF-59, a compound primarily composed of squalene. On first blush, squalene seems like a good choice for an adjuvant. Manufactured naturally in the liver, squalene is a precursor for cholesterol. In addition, squalene can be purchased at health food stores in its more commonly known form, shark liver oil. However, ingested squalene has a completely different effect on the body than injected squalene. When molecules of squalene enter the body through an injection, even at concentrations as small as 10 to 20 parts per billion, it can lead to self-destructive immune responses, such as autoimmune arthritis and lupus.(3) Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this reaction. Metabolically, squalene stimulates an immune response both excessively and nonspecifically. More than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers from ten different laboratories throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia have been published documenting the development of autoimmune disease in animals subjected to squalene-based adjuvants.(4) A convincing proposal for why this occurs includes the concept of molecular mimicry in which an antibody created against the squalene in MF59 can cross react with the bodys squalene on the surface of human cells. The destruction of the bodys own squalene can lead to debilitating autoimmune and central nervous system diseases. The squalene in MF59 is not the only cause for concern. One of its components, Tween80 (polysorbate 80) is considered by vaccine manufacturers to be inert but is far from it. A study published in December, 2005 discovered that Tween80 can cause anaphylaxis, a sometimes fatal reaction characterized by a sharp drop in blood pressure, hives, and breathing difficulties. Researchers concluded that the severe reaction was not a typical allergic response characterized by the combination of IgE antibodies and the release of histamines; it was caused by a serious disruption that had occurred within the immune system.(5) Vaccine manufacturer Chiron is already using MF59 in its European influenza vaccine for seniors called Fluad. It remains to be seen if Chiron will gain approval for using this adjuvant-containing vaccine in the U.S. In the mean timeand for the first timeall children from age six months to five years will be targeted for the flu shot this fall. Expect even more children to be on the vaccine list as early as 2007; discussions are underway to mandatorily vaccinate the healthy five to nine year-old group as a school requirement. A record 121 million doses of flu vaccine was produced for the 2006-2007 flu season and production is being ramped up to 140 million doses for the coming flu season. Be prepared for a huge push to get everyone vaccinated this fall. Consider it to be psychological pre-conditioning. The plan is to get each person readyand eagerto roll up their sleeve for an injection of the pandemic flu vaccine when it becomes available. Retaining freedom of choice will become increasingly important for those who want to refuse. Get politically active by joining the American Association for Health Freedom at [http://healthfreedom.net/] health freedom, the organization on Capitol Hill that lobbies for a person's right to choose and the practitioners right to practice. Self-appointed experts at the WHO and the CDC who really believe the only way to survive a pandemic to be innoculated with viruses and chemicals will be pressuring you to comply. Don't let the bird flu vaccine become mandatory in your State. When the media begins to, once again, shriek about the coming bird flu pandemic by urging everyone to be vaccinated, remember that the bird flu vaccine will be largely untested. Worse, it will be no more effective than the annual flu shot and there is a high probability it will contain MF-59. ______________________________________________________

Quality of Life

By Peter Jaystore A new hobby can improve your quality of life. Think of it. A hobby is a recreational or leisure activity outside of you career or work place. It is something YOU are interested in, some YOU want to pursue. Would it not improve your quality of life to do the things that you enjoy? You should not be selfish in pursuing what you want, what you want can actually benefit others around you as well. You can think of activities to which you can invite others to come along. You can find activities and hobbies that not only improve your own quality of life, but others as well. People need a purpose in life, a reason to do things. I am not saying that hobbies are the ultimate purpose for living, but I think that people should be happy and if they pursue hobbies that they enjoy, it can improve their lives and the lives of others. I think wholesome leisurely and recreational activities with family and friends are very important to having a good quality of life. It improves relationships, by providing good experiences together, it also just gives people the opportunity to get out and do something that they enjoy. It gives them the opportunity to feel like they have accomplished something and done something constructive. I heard once that happiness is the culmination of small successes. Is the quality of life not improved by small success, whether it be success in your career, success raising your family, success improving your life in some, or success in mastering some hobby or other interest that you have? A hobby or new interest can be something that you can quickly and easily master, or at least just enjoy learning to do it. It can give you a feeling of accomplishment, which will inspire and encourage you or others. One specific hobby that can increase your quality of life is music. Music is relaxing. Different music can stimulate different reactions of thought processes. They even have university undergraduate, masters, and doctorate degrees in music therapy. Learning to play a musical instrument or just listening and getting to know good music can be a way for you to improve your quality of life. It can be a hobby that is leisurely, relaxing, and can be a means for you or others to feel like they have accomplished something that makes a difference. If you can play a musical instrument, think of the good you can have in others lives. Musicians are often the life of the party. It seems everywhere I go, if someone can play the guitar, by the end of the night they will be entertaining everyone with their musical talent. The same goes for the piano or many other musical instruments. I myself played the trumpet for seven years, I also taught myself to play the guitar. I taught myself to play the piano a little bit, but I am not as good at it yet as I am at the guitar and the trumpet. Many hobbies can improve your physical health and stamina as well. Would it not be great to have a hobby, something you enjoy, that also keeps you physically fit? Many people play sports or participate in athletic events as hobbies to keep in shape. One of my favorites is to play tennis. I actually have never taken a class or learned to play tennis, I just taught myself and as I began playing I gradually got better. Now it is something I can do as leisure activity outside of work that will keep me in shape as well. Another hobby I just started is running. I ran the marathon over the weekend, I still cannot walk well, my feet and legs hurt, but I am sure I will get better. The pain will go away, but now I will be a marathoner forever.

Online Dating � How To Be Safe

By Kelly Price Ready to enter the world of online dating? Is it safe? Maybe yes and maybe no, but that is up to you. You have to protect your privacy and go slowly with whomever you are talking to. Here are all the rules you need to make online dating safe. Getting Started the Basics When meeting new people from the dating site, keep your contact just to the written for a while, a few weeks. Try and ask questions about the persons life, what they do, what they are, and so on. Get to know the persons biography. If they suggest a meeting too soon, you do not have to disagree, but answer you would like to, as soon as your time and schedule permits. Draw out the first contact till you know the person better. Moving from the Site to the Telephone Before actually arranging the first meeting, try and move your contact (if you wish it) to telephone conversation. Here you can get even more impressions about the person and even try and guess their intentions. Keep to the phone for about a week till you agree to a first meeting. Arranging the First Meeting The best place to meet is in a coffee shop, and during the day. Try to find a place you know, and you are a bit known there. Do not arrange a night meeting for a first meeting under any circumstances, that is, if you are concerned for safety. The crowded coffee shop and day hours are the safest. Keep this rule sacred. Try also to limit the first meeting to no more than 45 minutes. You need to reflect about your impression of the meeting, the person, and how you felt with them. Arranging the Second Meeting or the First Date If you still concerned about safety (and you should be), your first date should again be in place with lots of people. A good restaurant, popular bar, or club are good ideas. The smartest idea is to meet there, and not have the person pick you up or you pick the person up. Right after work gives you this excuse. Arrange your first date like that, and you will again have safety on your side/ Ongoing Activity Now that you have established your confidence in the person you have met from the internet, you can move on to normal dating routine; but do only those things for which you feel comfortable and confident. Sex and the Internet Partner If you have decided to get into a sexual relationship with your internet partner, you should also remember that you may not be the only one he or she is seeing. Never have unprotected sex, never. Your safety and your life may depend on it. Multiple Internet Relationships Online dating gives you the opportunity to meet more than one person at a time and further, have relations with them. Statistics show that the more sexual partners you have, the greater the risk in contracting even small sexually transmitted diseases (STD). You cannot be too careful in protecting your health and personal safety in this case. Unprotected sex must not enter into your options.

Many people are turned off at the idea of a wooden swingset by the price but when you think about it no matter how expensive they are they are worth every single penny spent.

Baby Boomers Use Alternative Medicine

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=C.W._Reichert] C.W. Reichert According to a recent study conducted at Ohio State University, about 70 percent of the 50 Plus market use alternative medicine. Funded by the National Institute on Aging, Professor Gong-Soog Hong spearheaded a survey that included almost 900 participants aged 50 and above. 65 percent of seniors who described themselves in poor health said they used some form of alternative medicine they considered either curative or preventivea higher percentage than any other group. Baby boomers are searching for other ways to alleviate symptoms such as chronic pain and arthritis, as well as utilizing alternative therapies as preventive medicine. Chiropractic care topped the list with a whopping 43% of respondents, while acupuncture came in last. Last fall, another survey of baby boomers was conducted by Sorelli B, a national research firm. This particular study showed than more than one third of those surveyed said that chiropractic care prevented the need for prescription drugs and physical therapy. The respondents also believed that chiropractic care helped them avoid back surgery and long, grueling, hospital stays. Close to 60 percent of those surveyed stated they would be willing to petition their insurance companies to include chiropractic as a component of their health care plan even though they were willing to pay for those services out-of-pocket. The other most popular methods of alternative medicine include massage therapy, breathing exercises, herbal medicine and meditation. The first study looking at alternative medicine use among seniors with depression finds that close to 20 percent are using gingko biloba, ginseng, St. Johns Wort and other herbal remedies. The surprising findings could cause concern with physicians who treat baby boomers as most patients were unaware of the risks of potential drug interactions.
Helen Kale, M.D., from the University of Michigan says, The results merit further study and suggest that seniors may have entered the alternative medicine market ina big way, much bigger than we thought. Why alternative medicine? Older adults are searching for different kind of treatment to lessen the aches and pains that often come with age. Seniors are reporting problems with daily activities such as carrying groceries, eating or bathing. Moreover, many of them are simply not satisfied with mainstream health care and often have issues with the current state of conventional health care. Older adults tend to have more chronic illnesses and conventional medicine doesnt always solve their problems, says Hong. In addition, the survey showed that because the treatment of chronic pain is very difficult and demanding, people living in such pain will try everything possible to alleviate it. According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), the percentage of the 50 plus market who received a massage from a massage therapist in the past five years has almost tripled. Why do baby boomers get massage? For health reasons, according to the survey. Seniors even indicated they seek massage for health reasons (other than stress relief and relaxation) more than any other age group (41 percent). The least popular practice of alternative medicine surfaced in the U.S. in the 1970s, Acupuncture has gained acceptance as an alternative to traditional Western medicine for pain relief and for treating a variety of other health conditions. Studies show that baby boomers who sufffer from muscle and bone pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and other ranges of problems, are giving acupuncture a try to lessen their symptoms. The health-minded baby boomer generation is also exercising. Being physically active is the solution to maintaining the quality of life for adults 50 years and older. 16 million seniors exercise at least three times per week. From 1987 to 1995, the number of 50-plus health club members jumped 199%, and the number of 65-plus who joined health clubs jumped a staggering 669%. According to the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), most active adult communities are responding to this need by including wellness centers within their planned communities. Plus, age-targeted programs have been shown to be quite popular with tremendous benefits to other types of senior housing, fitness facilities and publicly-sponsored community recreation programs. Interestingly enough, day spas are quickly becoming a hot market for those aged 50 and better. Instead of the usual day spa fare of facials and waxing, now medical spas or MedSpas are cropping up in the market. MedSpas take all the comfort and care of day spas, yet add the latest in medical technology. Mud packs and cucumber slices have been replaced with high-tech advanced fluorescence technology, microdermabrasion, and ultrasound technologiesall designed to help the 50 plus market feel better about their appearance. Although alternative medicine plays a huge role in the lives of baby boomers, when it comes to health, there is no comparison to preventive measures. The Southeastern Institute of Research found that the 50 plus market say some of the most important things to do to stay healthy are to get enough sleep, drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet. Its no wonder that life expectancy has increased by 30 years in the past century. As health care costs continue to rise, baby boomers will continue to seek alternative medicine and transform into health boomers. They have defined health care because theyre strong, vocal, and know what they want. Boomers are healthier than any generation of seniors in history and live longer, happier lives.

How Computer-Based Music Systems Can Benefit Your Club or Pub

By David Steel The power of good music is undeniable. It can instantaneously create atmosphere, ambience and mood, and is an essential element of any pub or club. With all the time, money and effort that is spent on staff, promotions, marketing and supplies, it would be insane to not invest in a quality music system to drive patrons in and get your club pumping! Having a hi-tech stereo system with CDs is so not an option, and if you think having a DJ is any better, you're in for a rude awakening! The way of the future is computer-based music systems.

And to make your life even better, most computer-based music systems have the added feature of being able to provide visuals and content. Yep... we're taking about visual entertainment as well as just music - pure genius! Instead of your patrons just listening to music, they can now see high quality music clips, plus any ads and messages you wish to communicate through a plasma or LCD screen. You can program your own 'commercials' for internal purposes (like drink specials, upcoming events etc), and use the system as an additional marketing tool. If you run elements such as SMS Jukebox, you can also earn revenue through your music system. Yep, you can actually make cash! SMS jukebox is an innovative mobile service that allows your customers to use their mobile phone to order songs (which they pay for) from the jukebox, as well as order ringtones and other mobile content that you advertise. Bet you didn't know it could do that! So, the next time you're out buying CDs for your club or pub, or trying to book a DJ, just think computer-based music system.

Developing Your Own NLP Based Patterns and Innuendoes

By Vittorio Norman Im going to use three common conversational themes as examples: travel, music, and movies. Travel: Talk about going someplace warm for a vacation. With a smile, ask her if she can recommend a warm place that you two can explore together. Music: Talk about favorite bands and songs. Mention that some songs you can keep playing over and over again and enjoy them just as much each time. You can relate favorite songs to doing something you like over and over again until you (finally) need to take a break. Movies: Talk about what makes a good movie; a nice build up, some anticipation, some tension, friction...between characters, climax, and slow release (winding down of plot). The above are basic conversational skeletons, which can be easily applied to insert sexual innuendoes and patterns into the conversation. With practice this skill will become second nature to you and you wont need to rely on canned material so much. But to get you started it is good practice to sit down and make up your own patterning, based on themes off the top of your head. For example, you may use the themes: cars, clothes/fashion, sports, and cooking. Use your imagination. Be creative and take your time to come up with some good lines, which can then be used alongside the conversational topics of your choice, on the date. This is guaranteed to get a womans imagination going in a sexual direction a good thing for you!

Disaster Assistance Through the IRS

By Martin Lukac Every year millions of people have property damage from unexpected events. There seems to be a rise in natural disasters occurring all around us, from the western earthquakes to the southern hurricanes. Although we rarely think of the IRS and our taxes when disasters happen, it can actually be a place to find some relief from the financial burden. A casualty loss deduction can often help offset losses. The IRS considers a casualty as the damage, destruction or loss of property resulting from a sudden, unexpected or unusual event. The casualties that we automatically think of for deduction are auto accidents, hurricanes, civil disturbances, earthquakes, explosions, fires, floods, hail, ice and snow, vandalism, winds and tornados. Other incidences will also qualify including theft from larceny, robbery and embezzlement. Really, the thing that qualifies you for a casualty deduction is simple. The event that causes the damage or loss must be sudden and swift, not slow and progressive. If your bathroom has water damage from a slow leak between tiles, you do not have a deduction. If the pipe freezes and breaks, ruining your carpet and walls, your loss qualifies for deduction. Non-deductible losses include termites, dry rot, corrosion and rust. The deductible amount is determined through several calculations. First, you must determine the fair market value of the property before and after the damage. This is the price for which you would be able to sell the property. Next, establish your basis in the property. This is your cost plus improvements, less any depreciation. Your loss is the lesser of the two calculations. For example, the IRS cites the destruction of a painting worth $100,000 as a total loss. The painting was originally purchased for $1,000. The decrease in market value is $100,000 since it was completely lost. But the buyers basis is only $1,000. The deductible loss is limited to $1,000, because the buyers actual investment in the property is less than the decrease in value. This deduction is only available if you file a timely insurance claim. If you choose not to file, you can only deduct the portion of the loss that would not have been covered by insurance. If the area in which the property exists is declared a federal disaster by the President, you have the option of deduction the loss on the previous years tax return. This allows for an immediate tax benefit. Other casualties and losses are deductible only in the year the event took place. By declaring a casualty or theft deduction, you can help minimize the financial impact of a disaster. But you must always make sure that your deduction is backed up by paperwork. Deductions can be a red flag to the IRS, so make sure that you retain information that supports your submitted loss. Keep photos of the lost or damaged items, receipts and appraisals and police reports as proof of loss. Sometimes, we dont know that certain deductions exist. By being informed of what is deductible, you can help your accountant give you the best return possible.

Helping Somebody with Depression

By Roopam Dhawan If you want to help somebody suffering from depression or whom you suspect is depressed, following are the three simple things you can do.

Understand the perspective and the situation of the person.

Help him or her get an appropriate diagnosis.

Get appropriate treatment for him or her.

Understanding the situation in regard to the possibly depressed person. Remember that depression is a complex illness, and not something just in the mind. So, never ridicule the concerned person of faking an illness or lethargy. Do not expect or tell the person to just snap out of it. Most people will get a great deal of sympathy and attention if they have broken an arm or a leg, because the problem is so obvious and visible. The pain and suffering of anxiety and depression are no less real because we cannot see them, in fact they can be greater because we can forget they are there. Tell the person that you understand and with appropriate diagnosis and treatment, he or she will get better for sure. Also tell the person not to think of himself or herself as inferior to anybody. Keep reassuring the person that he or she will be cured. Exude hope, confidence and optimism and promote treatment. Offer emotional support to the depressed person. This involves understanding, patience, affection, and encouragement. Engage the depressed person in conversation and listen carefully. Do not disparage feelings expressed, but point out realities and offer hope. Do not ignore remarks about suicide. Report them to the depressed person's therapist or the doctor immediately. Invite the depressed person for walks, outings, to the movies, and other activities. Be gently insistent if your invitation is refused. Encourage participation in some activities that once gave pleasure, such as hobbies, sports, religious or cultural activities, but do not push the depressed person to undertake too much too soon. The depressed person needs diversion and company, but too many demands can increase feelings of failure. Understand that you may find the experience physically and emotionally draining, trying, distressing, maddening and downright exhausting at times. This is obviously more intense for those who live in close proximity with the person who is ill, rather than those who have frequent but less day-to-day contact. On the other hand, the sense of delight, sheer relief and pleasure that comes from watching the definite signs of recovery take place can more than compensate for the negative experiences of supporting someone who is severely depressed. A lot of characteristics of a depressed person's behavior are such which repel people from them. In fact, although being alone is something that is not consciously desired by the depressed person, the sad reality is that he or she may end up acting in such a way that friends and relatives keep their emotional and physical distance from him or her. Once you understand this basic dilemma, it may make it possible for us to see that a depressed person may be crying out for company and attention, even when they are behaving in what is an apparently anti-social way. In such a situation, it can be helpful not to have a knee-jerk reaction to the alienating behavior, but to try to stand back for a moment and try to communicate at a deeper level with the person who is depressed by showing as much warmth and understanding as you can. It is common for those who are depressed to feel deeply unlovable and unloved: if you can respond in a genuinely compassionate and non-judgmental way it provides the depressed person with an opportunity to respond in a positive way. Any suggestion that the depressed person is contemplating suicide requires professional support and input. Under no circumstances should this responsibility be shouldered alone by whoever is supporting a severely depressed and/or anxious person. Diagnosis of the exact situation and problem If you feel that a close friend or relative may be suffering from undiagnosed depression, make sure that he or she sees a doctor in order to ask for help. This can be a particular problem for men, who may feel instinctively uncomfortable about asking for help and advice if they feel depressed, since they may feel that this is partly an admission of weakness. This male fear of vulnerability is thought to be part of the reason why far more women than men are diagnosed as suffering from depression, since women on the whole are thought to be more comfortable with acknowledging problems of a non-physical nature. Since there are so many avenues of support open to anyone suffering from depression, it is very sad if these positive opportunities for treatment are missed due to avoiding asking for appropriate help when necessary. If someone is in too passive a state to go out and see their doctor, arrange for the doctor to come and see them. This may be especially appropriate if the person who is depressed is elderly or suffering from limited mobility. If the person who is depressed is living alone, keep in touch regularly by a combination of visits and telephone calls. Preparing the occasional meal or giving help with household chores can be a lifesaver to someone who is going through an especially down phase, since at times like these it can take what seems a superhuman effort to accomplish even the most basic of tasks. Make sure, as far as possible, that the depressed person takes frequent exercise. This need be nothing more ambitious than taking a regular walk each day, or having a swim at a nearby pool. Since it is natural for someone who is depressed to become very introspective and disinclined to take the initiative to go out, even when it may be very necessary, suggest going out for a coffee, a brief shopping trip, or for a drive into the country for a change of scene. Try to counter negative statements with appropriate positive perspectives. Although this may not always be appreciated or appropriate, in certain situations it can be extremely important to balance an unrealistically bleak perspective with a more rational one. If someone who is depressed comes out with a comment that his or her life is worthless and nobody likes him or her, remind him or her of all of the people who care for him or her, including yourself. Getting appropriate treatment for the depressed and sticking to it This involves getting treatment for the depressed person from a qualified healthcare professional. Encourage the individual to stay with treatment until symptoms begin to abate. This may take several weeks. If no improvement occurs for a substantial period, seek a different treatment. You may be required to make an appointment and accompanying the depressed person to the doctor. Also monitor whether the depressed person is taking medication. The depressed person should be encouraged to obey the doctor's advice about the use of alcoholic products while on medication.

Wedding Anniversary Gifts

By Jennifer Bailey Wedding anniversaries have special personal significance. Each additional year is a milestone in the life a couple. It encapsulates the daily struggles in life, the memorable moments of happiness, and the simple joys of being with each other, and celebrates yet another year of togetherness. It is a triumph of a personal sort for couples, for all of us are aware of that living together requires much more than just love for each other. A wedding anniversary gift exchange is a tangible symbol of love that grows stronger with each passing year. It signifies that a person still occupies a special place in the heart. It provides an opportunity to couples to sit back and reminiscence about the golden moments of their life that often gets obliterated in routine drudgery. A special gift often rekindles dying romance in a couples life. The traditional concepts of paper, cotton, leather, fruit and flowers, wood gifts, in the initial wedding years found its genesis in England. Englishmen in olden times presented their brides with a paper gift in the first year, silver wreath in the 25th year and golden wreath in the 50th year of their wedding, as a celebration of a successful marriage. Whether a gift is traditional, extravagant, creative or emotional depends solely on the giver. A traditional gift can be given some creative, ingenious and modern touches to make it stand out. For example: a paper frame with a beautiful metal clock, an leather album with the wifes and husbands name engraved in gold, or two Broadway paper tickets and a romantic candlelight dinner afterwards might be suitable. You can also give a vintage cotton cloth or a cotton dress wrapped around some ornament or perfume, customized cotton pillow and quilt set with the couples pictures printed on it. Or a fruit bowl made out of a beautiful decorative bowl can also twist tradition and add some personal touch as well. Theme parties are some fun options for those who enjoy parties. Gift certificates for two given to husband or wives to enjoy the tropical Florida sun, dive to watch corals, and undertake an adventure trip or a refreshing spa experience are wonderful unconventional gifts. A gifts purpose is not to follow traditions or display extravagance. The encoded message of love is communicated successfully when it is chosen or created and sealed with love. A handmade scrapbook or an album with photos of the most memorable moments in the couples marriage may not be a pricey display of love, but there is perhaps nothing more precious than such personal thoughtful gifts. It displays the effort, time and energy one has put in.
