Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease Are you concerned that you or someone you know may have Alzheimer’s disease? Age is the most important risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease; the number of people with the disease doubles every 5 years beyond age 65. Alzheimer’s disease is NOT a normal part of aging. Alzheimer’s disease is characterized in the brain by abnormal clumps (amyloid plaques) and tangled bundles of fibers (neurofibrillary tangles) composed of misplaced proteins. When these proteins grow larger, they trigger an inflammatory reaction in the brain's immune system that begins to kill surrounding brain cells. This causes deterioration in certain areas of the brain that control thinking, communication, and behavior. Suspected causes of Alzheimer’s disease are being inv View the rest of this article

Weight Loss

Many people think the best way to lose weight is to diet, drastically dropping calories or types of food in a desperate attempt to shed the pounds. Others think that exercise is the only way to health, so they exercise frantically for a few months before giving up. Imagine how much money Americans spend on diet pills, miracle diets, or even just exercise equipment.These people mean well, but don't understand the way the human body works. Their attempts may result in temporary gains, but because they just don't understand, they often end up worse off than before. Diets are a temporary solution to a long-term problem. Let's say someone, after a lifetime of eating poorly, takes a diet. It's a rough diet, since the calories have to be cut sharply, but it's worth it, righ View the rest of this article

Free leasing a horse...is it REALLY free?

A little something I’ve learned about free leasing a horse…in our case…it DEFINITELY wasn’t free.
Several years ago we decided to enter into a free lease agreement with a woman who advertised that her aged horse was bombproof and suitable for an “absolute beginner” This suited us because we were absolute beginners and we wanted an affordable and safe way for our daughter, who was horse crazy, to learn about horses. It seemed perfect. A requirement of the agreement was that he was to be left stabled where he was, so, as we had no where to put a horse anyway it seemed like a perfect situation.
We went over to see the horse and he was beautiful…we fell in love with him (as his crafty owner no doubt knew we would) A deal was made. She threw in the b View the rest of this article

Elements of Auto Insurance Contracts

Before signing an auto insurance contract, we are involved in understanding some basic terms related to the car insurance policy.The phrase "your covered auto" also applies to several other particular circumstances.

However, liability coverage for a replacement vehicle is automatically provided until the end of the policy period. The liberalization clause states that if the insurance company makes a change to its policy form which provides broader coverage without a premium charge (for example, if it drops a policy exclusion), that change will automatically apply to your policy on the View the rest of this article

Hope: the Encourager

Hope is the master encourager. It nudges you forward; it keeps you anticipating the desired outcome. Hope is much more than 'a-hoping and a-praying', knock-on-wood, cross-your-fingers kind of wishful thinking. No! The Biblical Hope is the key to a healthy, happy, abundant life!

Just imagine life without hope. Yes, millions of people are living in that desperate state. They are depressed, contemplating suicide, and suffering from physical and mental anguish.

Without hope there can be no faith! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Heb. 11:1) Therefore, if you're not hoping for something good to happen, how can your faith be put to work? Hope is the process of making the vision in your mind's eye a reality.

Still, every cloud seems to indeed have a silver lining, as one positive to result from the increased burden to the health care system can be seen in the number of health industry jobs projected to become available over the next ten years.

Get easy cash with your life settlement

Life settlement is a very popular method of money transaction in which a life insurance policy is sold off to a third party. Once the life insurance policy is sold off to the third party, the original owner is no longer responsible for paying the premiums and at the same time, they are also not entitled to any money after the policy matures.

How to remove stains from your carpet

Cleaning carpet stains can sometimes be a very daunting task. That’s because when a stain first happens, your first reaction is to pour every chemical on it that you have in your house to try to get it out. However, this can actually be counterproductive. You want to be careful what you apply to your carpet as different types of carpets have different carpet cleaning needs.

Cleaning carpet stains doesn’t have to be difficult, however. For simple stains, such as dirt, you can usually get the stain out with a good soap based cleaner. However, if the stain is stronger than that, say, pet stains, ketchup or ink, you may have to look to a professional.

Seaching For Good Jewelry Manufacturers

One interesting fact is that many very good companies are not famous while some with good but not excellent products are well known in the field.

Marketing is the reason. For instance, the "designer" jewelry made of sterling with gold accents by "David Yurman" is pretty well known. In my opinion, it is overpriced. I don't care for this jewelry while others will prefer a "Yurman" piece above all others. Tastes vary. Marketing affects taste, too, I suspect. Marketing is a large, large aspect in the "famous" nature of a particular manufacturer.

I was in the state of Virginia the fall and happened into a Finks store. A good 3 showcases were nothing but Yurman items. There is a minimum amount a store must display in order to be a Yurman seller. As I here i View the rest of this article

Emeralds Wipe Off Or Smooth And Polished

Emeralds always have a balance between clarity and returned light, the sparkle that is. You do want a stone with at least a decent amount of returned light. What I mean by this is light that goes into the top of the stone and is reflected back out to the eye. Otherwise, the stone looks rather dead and even the color is not as apparent.

Some light coming back to the eye is needed to bring that color to life. There is a trade off often between color and brilliance, it seems, unless the stone is completely top gem quality and has both color and clarity at the same time, accompanied by well proportioned cutting of the gem.

"Dull Look On The Surface". Why would one stone look like it needs to be "wiped off" and another look smooth and well polished? Generall View the rest of this article

Simple Trout Fishing

Here's a really simple way... to catch stream trout using your spinning rod. If you have ever wanted to fish for trout in a stream but are frustrated by the thought of equipping, learning, and mastering fly casting, here is an alternative.

Voluptuous And Safe Cars Sells - Volvo

Soundproofing from loud upstairs neighbors in condo or apartment

One of the most common soundproofing questions I hear most is “How do I soundproof my condo or apartment from those noisy neighbors who live above?” Generally the most annoying noise is what is known as “foot fall” or “impact noise” Impact noise is noise that is caused by heavy walking on the floor of the neighbor above. It can also be caused by chairs dragging across a hardwood floor above or simply the impact of a fork or plate that is dropped on the floor above.



Impact noise is transmitted through the structural members of the floor/ceiling assembly and generally travels down through the floor joists and into the ceiling below at lightening speed.

The Wonderful World Of The Scottish Sporran

Sporran. It's one of those strange words that everyone's heard but not so many people could positively define. Outside of Scotland that is. Within its native land, as a key component of the national dress of Scotland, the sporran is revered as much as the haggis or scotch whiskey. But what is it exactly? A sporran is the pouch worn hanging down at the front of the kilt (The word simply means purse or pouch in Gaelic). It hangs from the sturdy leather belt that secures the kilt in place. As kilts have no pockets, the sporran was developed for the Scotsman to store his belongings. Other than this pure utilitarian use, the sporran adds a bit of style too, especially if adorned or decorated in clan colours. Sporrans originated as a doeskin bag which contained ammunition View the rest of this article

What To Wear For Important Occasions And Parties

What to wear for a holiday party that is a workday luncheon. It would not be appropriate to wear real party attire. Try a nice skirt suit or pretty tailored dress (maybe even red!). Something a bit nicer than what you typically wear to the office so it feels and looks a bit special but a few notches down from a true party dress.

What to wear for a holiday party.One of the suggestions is wearing either a jewel toned dress (burgundy, purple, etc) with black tights and heels. OR if you are uncomfortable in a dress, go for a simple a-line black skirt with a jewel toned top. There are some great silky ones out right now, and again you can wear this with black tights and heels.

Dialogue & Delivery: Eight Dynamic Coaching Communication Tips

Coaching sports, at any level, is all about dialogue and delivery – knowing what to say, when to say it, and, most importantly, how to say it. This is never truer than it is with coaches, especially those involved in youth sports. These Eight Tips will help coaches become more effective communicators.

1. Communicate with your players as individuals – get to know your players. Each player’s mind is different; they each take in information and process it differently. Do not assume that you are being totally understood all of the time, especially with children.

2. Have team meetings - meetings that provide a forum for give-and-take with a coach are always a good idea. Let your players know what you like about their performance and what you would View the rest of this article

The 99 Beautiful Divine Names of Allah

"And Allah's are the best Names, therefore call on Him thereby, and leave alone those who violate the sanctity of His Names; they shall be recompensed for what they did; God's alone are the attributes of perfection; invoke Him, then, by these, and stand aloof from all who distort the meaning of His attributes." Quran Al A'Raf 7:180

The Law of Attraction and the Science of Getting Rich

The top quantum physicists of our time have discovered that our universe and our

reality is very much directed by the "observer".

When studying quantum particles (the smallest observable unit of matter), these

Got A Case Of Job Lock?

According to the New York Times workers who are unable to switch jobs out of fear that their health benefits will be lost are said to suffer from "job lock." Changing jobs and losing coverage can set off a range of insurance traps such as no coverage for a year or excessive premiums. This is the day and age of contract work where employers can hire and fire easier than ever, and offer very little, if any, health benefits to non-permanent staff. If you find you are amid certain job lock, don’t settle, especially when it comes to your health benefits.

Everyone Should Use Coupons

Double coupons are a great tool for the frugal shopper. There is no denying that coupons are a major success.

19. The Importance Of Exchanging Energy

Everything around us is energy. Our universe, the planet we are living on, everything that lives on our planet, the chair we are sitting on, the clothes we are wearing, the glass we are drinking from, the substance that’s in the glass, the car we are driving, the people we meet; in short, everything is energy.

Our own energy is the energy that specifically belongs to us as an individual. Continuously we tend to give that away to others, to other things, to interests, to meetings with others, to places, to books, to films, etc. Very often we tend to give our energy away to others when we express certain words or phrases. “I love you” is a good example hereof. Besides we ourselves often tend to pick up energies from others.

The power of thought has limitless, boundless possibilities.

Children often have an inexhaustible resource of creativity and imagination.

They have exuberance for life because they do not let anyone define what fun is.

They create exciting moments in their life and somehow know that it is up to them to make their life fun.

Their minds are so open to the possibilities that they see the potential of fun in every tree, every smile, View the rest of this article

Just Let ‘Em Go!

I remember when I was just a little guy probably about 4 or 5 years old, I was fascinated by snakes. Not any particular type of snake – just snakes in general. I remember being really curious about how they could move around so easily without any legs or feet. I remember liking the colors on the garter snakes that slithered through our Nebraska summer garden.

And – I remember one day picking up one of those fascinating garter snakes and holding it right in front of my face so I could get a little better look at the colorful markings on its head. It was at that moment the unthinkable happened. In mere seconds, that wonderful, fascinating creature had transformed itself into a writhing, ferocious monster with a flickering, forked tongue and hypnotic e View the rest of this article

Is writing going the way of the dinosaur

Some parents debate whether learning to write is necessary as all around them they see computers and keyboards. I sometimes wonder myself as I was brought up on a notepad and pencil and all around me kids are using computers. As a school teacher I still use the blackboard and chalk, but most of the young, new teachers use the computer and power point presentations. I have tried using the computer in the classroom but it didn’t suit me, as I like to stand and walk around. I think the kids prefer the blackboard as the teacher can create the lesson as they go. But the debate still continues whether students like using a computer in the classroom or not.

Turn Power of Mind into Reality

Albert Einstein was a genius.

I believe it was Albert Einstein who said that the greatest creative force in the universe is creative imagination. Imagination is the greatest creative force? Einstein accomplished so much in his life, yet he never graduated high school. A high school drop-out created the theory of relativity. He also flunked math! Do you think he ever used the power of creative imagination?

I submit yes, he did harness creative imagination by tapping into his quantum mind power.

Stressed Out? Are You Listening?

Google's Australian site, google.com.au has a PR of 8/10 whereas google.com itself has a 10/10. Many people think that PR is the main determining factor to getting a web page ranked high in Google.

Personal Development, We All Can Use It.

Hi! I come to you today wanting to talk about personal development. And introduce you to a beautiful, talented, loving, caring women I have come to know and love today. ME!

I strongly believe in the principle “Model someone who’s already reached a goal I want to achieve”.

Living by this principle I’m privileged to have grown in my personal development in life. I can remember my dad; William A. Grieves, as I was growing up telling me I can always be what I want to be, and achieve what I wished to achieve. As most of us do in life it took me awhile to live life on life’s terms to realize what he meant by that statement.

If I may I’d like to share a fundamental truth I believe. Marketing “theories” and “concepts” aren View the rest of this article

Avoid Trans Fat at All Cost

Trans fat is created by modern technology and is foreign to the human body. Basically, trans fat, also known as trans fatty acid, is made when manufacturers add hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make the oils more solid in a chemical process called hydrogenation. Hydrogenation increases the shelf life of the vegetable oils containing these fats. Hydrogenated vegetable fats are used as they are claimed to give food desirable taste, shape and texture. Trans fat can be found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, cookies, potato chips, microwave popcorn and other foods made with or fried in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Unlike other fats, the majority of trans fat is formed when food manufacturers turn liquid oils into solid fats like shortenin View the rest of this article

10 Strategies for beating Overwhelm

How many of us have been in a position where we have more to do than can realistically fit into one day, or week. So we spend all of our time feeling rushed, being rushed, and wondering how on earth we are going to manage. If you are having that feeling of overwhelm in your business, it’s time to take stock of what’s going on. How well you manage yourself and the time you have, is crucial to your success. Wasted time equals lost opportunities. Lost opportunities equal lost business and profits. Time can’t be “saved” – it’s an impossibility. You can’t find more of it – it’s a fixed commodity. You can only manage your activities as time passes. So how are you spending the 60 seconds in each minute - the 60 minutes in each hour - the 1,440 minutes in View the rest of this article

Dish Network: An Internet Option For Rural Areas

Time is as valuable as money. It is not something that can be wasted in today’s fast-paced world. For many people that live in rural areas around the country, using the Internet at home is a slow, frustrating process.

Using dialup can take several minutes to bring up a web page. It can even take hours to download information, programs, or pictures. Forget about watching any web videos that friends or family send you. When a person only has a limited amount of time to spend on searching web pages or writing emails, the faster their Internet service is the more they are able to accomp View the rest of this article
