Health - It’s All in the Mind

Friday, February 29th, 2008

By Michael Hadfield Do you ever listen to other people’s conversations? I mean when you’re standing at a bus stop, or having a drink in a caf after a hard morning’s shopping. You know, those people whose voices are just a little too loud and you can’t really help listening; after all you are on your own, and other people’s lives are quite interesting. What do they talk about? Their problems I’ll bet, with health issues being high on the list. And have you ever noticed how it’s a bit like a game of ping-pong. One party will bat a little titbit “my back’s been playing up something awful”, and the other will respond with something ‘better’ and before you know where you are, you know all about all the cancers, and the hip operations, and the chronic chest infections, that their family and friends have had in the past ten years. Sound familiar? So illness seems important. If it isn’t, why do we spend so much time talking about it? Have you ever noticed how you suffer with a bad cold, or dose of ‘flu, or possibly something more serious, when life itself is becoming tedious, work is getting you down, or your husband seems to have lost interest in you. Have you ever noticed how, when you are happy and life is full of joy and excitement, you rarely experience illness? It has been known for a long time that ’stress’ has a depressant effect on the ability of your body’s immune system to fight infection. Illness is the body’s way of saying ‘you’re not looking after you’, and usually the way you are failing to look after yourself is in your mind - your emotional well-being is generally the part which is being neglected when you start to experience illness. Now, the scientists say that disease organisms, viruses, bacteria, genes, and even your age, cause illness. They may be right. But if they are then those same ‘experts’ are your only hope for defeating illness. Yet with all the drugs and all the scientific advances over that last fifty years - shouldn’t the hospitals be emptying out by now. How easy is it to get an appointment with your doctor? How full was the waiting room last time you visited? All that science seems to be accomplishing is to change the nature of illness without actually removing it. If illness is a necessary warning system to let you know that you need to slow down, or look at how you are living your life then this is exactly what we would expect to see with scientific advances; a change in the style of illness, but no change in the quantity or quality. Smallpox and bubonic plague have been eradicated, but doesn’t AIDS do pretty much the same sort of job. So, how can this awareness help you? Well it can help you if you want to feel better and be less ill. Because the first step to freeing yourself from this pattern of stress/illness is to recognise that the illness is helpful. Now, I know pain isn’t much fun, and I’m not suggesting that life-threatening problems should be ignored. In fact I’m not even suggesting that you stop visiting your doctor for treatment. I would actually strongly advise that you take all the help you can get if you have a health problem. What I am suggesting is that if you want to be free of illness, you need to start by looking at what illness gives you, and welcome those gifts. You might get a few days off work, early retirement, forced retirement from a job you hate; illness may be the only occasion when anyone looks after you or gives you affection, if you are lonely then illness at least brings you into close contact with people (doctors and nurses) who touch you and treat you gently; if you are trying to cram too many things in your life then illness gives you break and gives your body a much needed rest. It would be beneficial then to see what changes you could make to your life so that this ‘benefit’ was no longer needed because you already had it. If you don’t like your job then consider the possibility of doing something you enjoy instead; if you are alone then open your mind to the possibility of this being different. If you are simply too busy then build relaxation into your schedule and see it as just as important a part of life as the ‘busy’ness. But whatever you do, don’t neglect illness, it is your mind’s way of telling you it’s time for change. Michael J. Hadfield MBSCH is a registered clinical hypnotherapist.

How to Tell if a Woman is Interested in You

Friday, February 29th, 2008

By Don Diebel By observing a woman’s body language and reactions to you, you can determine if she is interested in you. Listed here are 12 positive signs that she may be interested in you: Big smiles with upper and lower teeth showing with a relaxed face. She gazes in your eyes with deep interest and her pupils are dilated (this could be mistaken from her taking drugs). Biting of the lips or showing of the tongue, licking her lips or touching of her front teeth. While talking to you she is slowly stroking her cocktail glass up and down with her thumb and index finger. If she is wearing a see-thru top, you can see that her nipples are getting hard while talking to you and looking at you. She starts sitting straight up and her muscles appear to be firm. Her crossed leg is pointed towards you or if that same leg is rocking back and forth towards you. She raises or lowers the volume of her voice to match yours. She rubs her chin or touches her cheek. This indicates that she’s thinking about you and her relating in some way. She blows smoke straight out from between her lips and towards you. She winks at you while talking to you or winks at you from a distance. She exposes the palms of her hand facing you. This article written by Don Diebel (Americas #1 Singles Expert).

Is It Better To Live Together Before Marriage?

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

By Perdita Reyes People are changing their mentalities and views on this rather hot topic, especially in todays ever changing society. More and more couples are taking this road and living together before making the big decision as to whether they wish to spend the rest of their lives together. Of course, who is to blame for all the divorces happening in todays society? Generations ago, when people got married, it really was for better or for worse. They stuck it out, through sickness, health, adultery, everything. But now, you do not go a day without hearing about someones marriage falling apart. So does this mean that it is a good idea to live together? Many people who wait to live with someone until they are married are religious. As the Bible says, you should not live with someone unless you are married. You should not have sex unless you are married. But again, in our society, there are few virgins left. Our generation loses their virginity in their early teens. So this does not really apply to us anymore. Couples are still having sex whether they are living together or not. Couples who live together often say that they do this prior to marriage because they want to see if their partner and they will really fit together to get to really know them. So, they live together. I was once told by someone who is married, You will never really know the other person until you live with them. This is so true. Now many people say, especially religious persons, that you do not need to live with a person, all you have to do is spend a lot of time together. Although I do see some sense in this, it is still a very big issue that a lot of people wear masks while dating. They may keep these masks on for years. So even if you date someone for 5 years, they may still turn out to be someone totally different once you marry. In my opinion, which is based on observing so many different relationships, both married, living together and dating, I have come to realize that it may be good to live together before marriage. I mean, who would be proud of saying that they have been married 5 times because they got married at a young age and it did not work out, so they got married over and over again? Of course, marriage is a great thing, if you are ready for it. It all just depends on who you are, you values and background and where you are in life. To each his own.

Waterlilies

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

By Philip Swindells Waterlilies are considered by most gardeners to be the most important plants in the garden pond. Certainly from the point of view of a floral display they are essential, but they also contribute to the general well-being of the pond environment. Their floating foliage shades the surface of the water providing welcome shade for the fish on a hot summer day. By reducing the amount of light that falls directly into the water, they also help to control green water discoloring algae. This requires full light in order to prosper. There are two main groups of waterlilies. The hardy kinds that are all day-blooming and frost-hardy, and the tropical species and varieties which are frost-tender and available as either day or night blooming. There are innumerable shapes and sizes, with varieties that can be grown in as little as 6-8ins of water in a small container, to giants of the lake that require 6 feet of water in order to prosper. Waterlilies have a leafy spread of from as little as 9ins to as much as 15-18 feet. Amongst the hardy kinds there are flowers of almost every hue except blue. This color is the sole prerogative of the tropical waterlilies. Some flowers are star-shaped, others cup-shaped and a number are fully double and of similar appearance to a fall-flowering chrysanthemum. A few have blossoms of a strong vanilla or aniseed scent while others are totally devoid of fragrance. The leaves also vary in shape and size, but most are plain green, or else are green and have chocolate or maroon mottling. Hardy waterlilies grow mostly from a fleshy creeping and spreading rootstock, whereas tropical waterlilies arise mostly from rounded tubers, not unlike large chestnuts or small potatoes. Hardy waterlilies produce “eyes” or latent shoots that are used for propagation purposes. Tropical kinds on the other hand, multiply from small tubers, or sometimes viviparously - small plantlets appearing from their leaves. These can be readily used from propagation purposes. Seed is not a common form of reproduction amongst hardy waterlilies, except in the case of the tiny pygmy species Nymphaea tetragona. However some tropical kinds are freely reproduced from seed. Waterlilies are planted during spring and summer, the earlier in the season the better, for then they quickly establish and produce something of a show the first year. They must be grown in full sun in still water. Plant in a proper latticework-sided planting basket in a heavy loam soil with no additional fertilizer added, or else an aquatic planting compost. Before placing in the pond top-dress the compost with fine well-washed gravel. This helps to prevent the soil from dispersing into the water and also dissuades the fish from stirring up the mud in their quest for aquatic insect life. Waterlilies require little attention, except for feeding with a slow release aquatic plant fertilizer. This is available in either tablet or sachet form and pushed into the compost mix next to each plant during the summer. Philip Swindells has over 40 years gardening experience.

Career Barriers Busted: How to Make Your “Backburner Dreams” Come True!

Monday, February 25th, 2008

By Melanie Keveles Stories from The Road to Success is Paved with Failure, By Joey Green: In 1957, Don Hewitt, who went on to become executive producer of the CBS hit 60 Minutes, told Barbara Walters to stay out of television. Elton Johns first single, Come Back, Baby released with his band, Bluesology, never made it to the charts. He failed his audition for Liberty Records and his 1968 debut album Empty Skies flopped. Dustin Hoffman dropped out of Santa Monica City College. Unable to find an acting job in New York, he worked as a janitor and an attendant in a hospital mental ward. - - - Each of these celebrities went on to become world famous in their chosen professions. The success we attribute to each of them today was hard won. What if Barbara Walters had taken Don Hewitts words to heart? What if Elton John had seen his audition and the flop of his debut album a sign he should give up? What if Dustin Hoffman had stayed put, working in the hospital mental ward? The trick is to pursue your career and lifestyle aspirations and not give up! The barriers can seem insurmountable yet the world is diminished when we dont follow our destiny. Confront real, imagined barriers In his most recent book, Second Acts: Creating the life you really want, building the career you truly desire, Stephen Pollan lists 12 common barriers to entry people face forging new directions after discovering their work unfulfilling: Age Money Duration (amount of time to get into it) Consent of others (spouse, other family members) Location Physical condition (for example, body build to be a basketball player) Education and training Timing Esteem Fear of failure Fear of Success Fatalism (thinking destiny is fixed) Which of these barriers do you face in fulfilling a career aspiration? Many seem larger than they really are because of our own internal barriers. For example: Perhaps you think you are too old to pursue a particular career direction. Is that truly the case or have you made your mind up without doing the research necessary to determine whether your hunch is entirely true? What if your age actually could be an advantage, setting you apart from others? Remember feisty octogenarian Clara Peller who asked Wheres The Beef? in the Wendys commercials in the 1980s? Her age made her a cult figure, adding to the impact of her persona in those television commercials. More than 15 years after her death, her name comes up today in a Google Internet search, in German, Chinese and English. What if money is the barrier that keeps you from pursuing your most fulfilling dreams? Next to age, money seems to be the barrier of greatest concern to people considering a new career direction, Pollan says. As with age, we may wrongly conclude that money is a barrier without doing the research. Assess your financial capacity Start with a complete review of your finances, including wages, savings and other assets, and your current expenses. It will clarify your actual financial needs and wherewithall, compared to your imagined financial capacity. A great way to measure your income against expenses is a free template offered on Microsofts web site. You can download this Excel spreadsheet, use the categories provided on the sheet, or create your own. Find the template at www.officeupdate.microsoft.com/TemplateGallery/(choose the Personal Finance link and then the Personal Budget template). After assessing your actual expenses and income sources, you may be able to shave non-essential expenses long enough to squirrel away enough money to finance your cherished career dream. You also may discover short-term ways to increase your income by moonlighting or selling some assets. No matter the real or imagined barriers, there are techniques to surmount them. Think about difficult situations youve confronted in your past. How did you overcome them? Looking back on strategies youve used successfully can pave the way to viable approaches you can take today. Learn from others who have risen to the top in the fieldWho are the stars and champions in the field to which you are heading? What can you learn about how they overcome barriers that can be instructive in your own life? Are any approachable, possibly mentors, to help you get to where you want to go? I offer a virtual telephone group for people from all over the United States starting up small businesses or contemplating a start up. I am amazed at how creative people in these groups are about helping others overcome the barriers they face to getting what they want. Ive observed time and again that we each have much more courage for others. We can see ways around, under, over and through blockages they view as solidly concrete. So make yourself a promise dont give up your backburner dream. Find another person or group to start closing on your cherished dream of what you want to contribute to the world.Whether its starting a new business, changing careers or writing a book, the only real barriers are those from which you dare not escape!

Law Can Do More Harm than Good

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

By Neil Simmons It’s never an easy thing trying to manage a condominium - you’ll never please all of the people all of the time. Things get particular difficult because the Thai condominium law is generally a mix of dark and light grey, with little snippets of black and white. I’m not a qualified lawyer, but I do have extensive experience in managing condominiums here in Thailand. The Thai Condominium Act was written years ago and, since its inception, has only been modified once with the Thai Condominium Act 2534 (1991), which basically only covered rules relating to foreign ownership. However, instead of making positive amendments to the Act when a problematic situation arose; instead of learning from experience, improving the Act and making it more user-friendly and more beneficial for condominiums in Bangkok (there are of course a whole lot more condominiums now than there were 26 years ago), what has been done? That’s right, nothing. So, if at first you don’t succeed, let other people deal with the consequences. What consequences? The fact is that many condominium developers in Thailand are forced to break the law just to avoid going bankrupt. As time goes by, inflationary pressure will eventually mean that a condominium will be spending more than it receives in common area management fees (CAM). This means that there won’t be money available even for the most necessary things, like repairs, condominiums repainting, and cleaning. To avoid things going belly-up the CAM fees would need to be increased. Although the Condominium Act itself is a bit vague, the Land Department has confirmed to me that in order to register a CAMfee increase with them, and make it a legal increase, there would need to be 75% or more of all of the condominium co- owners to approve the increase in CAM fees in a general meeting. This is just practically impossible for most condominiums to do. The chances of having 75% of co-owners in the same place at the same time, for them all to give up their social arrangements to attend a general meeting - it just can’t happen. So, eight the condominium doesn’t increase its CAM fees, and it slowly falls into a derelict state, or the CAM fees are increased ignoring the 75% rule, and the increase is not legally registered with the Land Department. What if the co-owners refused to pay the increase in CAM fees? Well, this is where Thai law really makes things difficult. There’s nothing the condominium can do. Luckily for most condominiums, people generally want what’s best for the condominium and they pay up. But in some condominiums, co-owners refuse to allow a CAM fee increase without the 75% voting rule, and that’s when the financial troubles really start. The law is supposed to protect the majority of co-owners, when in reality it hurts them all. Typically, you need one-third of all co-owners to attend a general meeting to make quorum. But the condominium Act states that if you want to make any changes to the Condominium Articles of Association, or increase CAM fees, you need 75% of all co-owners to approve. So you can normally hold a meeting, but just can’t vote on anything. What a wonderful piece of common sense that was. So remember, if you’ve seen a condominium unit that you like, don’t just buy it, do a little homework first. Here are some things to bear in mind: - Check that the condominium income is sufficient to pay for its expenditure. Ask to see the financial statements. - Check that all co-owners are paying their CAM fees. It’s not worth buying a unit if half the co-owners aren’t paying or aren’t able to pay. - Find out if there are any legal disputes happening or likely to happen in the future, or if the banks have seized any units. Neil Simmons, formerly of CB Richard Ellis, is co-director of Soho Properties (http://www.soho-properties.com), a leading real estate agent and location specialist for property in Bangkok.

Fancy Catching Something Slightly Different? How About an Angler Fish?

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

By Suzanne Hodnett The true Angler Fish lives in both shallow and deep water and there is regularly confusion over their identity as either Angler Fish or Monkfish. It is more a case that there is more than one variety of both and at some point the two species cross over. Some Angler Fish can legitimately be called Monkfish and vice versa, but then again, there are some Monkfish (although equally entitled to the name) which are actually from the Shark family. To go into that further would involve getting into the Latin names of the species which I’m not going to do here! It is not the sort of fish that most people target but more the type that you would happen upon by accident when fishing for Flatties. They’re prefered habitat is a sandy/mud seabed but gravel or shell beds also offer much of an attraction where they eat anything in their path, especially smaller fish and shellfish. Their enormous mouths are adorned with large, extremely sharp and backwards facing teeth and they even have teeth in their throats so as to stop their prey from escaping until it has been safely swallowed. It is, therefore, advisable to use a wire rig when targeting Angler Fish! A good rig to use would be the standard paternoster or flapper rig with a grip lead as an anchor on the bottom and a flowing hook trace of about 3-4 feet. This allows the bait to move freely and naturally just above the seabed giving a great presentation and covering a wider area. Good baits to try would be baitfish such as Launce, Sandeel or a strip of Mackerel, Shellfish or Squid. Use a strong forged hook. Scotland is a good place for Angler Fish including marks such as the islands of the Firth of Forth and the Summer Isles. Also, the offshore reefs around Wales, many areas within the Irish Channel and around the Isle of Man, and the northern and southern coasts of Devon and Cornwall. If you catch an Angler Fish, it is advised that you operate a catch and release system as the Angler Fish has been suffering from a certain amount of overfishing due to its lovely flavour. Although it is only the tail of this fish which can be eaten the taste has been likened to lobster and they are sometimes used as mock scampi. We would definitely recommend that you release any Angler Fish to fight another day! SeaFishingSupplies.co.uk is a secure online tackle shop specific to UK sea fishing.

Why Do You Want To Lose Weight?

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

By Glenn Freiboth People decide to lose weight for a variety of reasons including looking better in a bathing suit or for health reasons. If you are starting a weight loss program, you need to know your reasons for doing it. So, stop and ask yourself. Why do I want to lose weight? As with any thing in life you must have a strong enough reason for doing it. If you dont have a strong resolve and a solid reason for losing weight you will most likely be unsuccessful. If you are like me you have gained and lost the same weight over and over through all different kinds of diets and I can tell you from experience that the common denominator in all my failures was not having a strong enough reason to stay on the diet and lose the weight and keep it off. Many times you will end up even heavier than when you started if you dont have a strong enough reason to maintain the weight loss. In our busy world that we live in now it is easy to make excuses. I work too much, I have my family to attend to, Im too tired, etc. I am telling you now that everyone has the same 24 hours to work with and some of the busiest people I know find the time to exercise. Sleep an hour less and take the time to exercise, you will appreciate it. You have to be realistic. If you are 50 years old you are not going to have the body you had at 18, but you can have a body that 30 year olds would envy! Again, you must decide what you are seeking, do you want to be fit and muscular or do you just want to lose for health reasons. Maybe there is a history of heart disease and high cholesterol in your family like I have in mine, my mom had her first heart attack and triple bypass surgery at the age of 37. If that isnt a powerful reason to exercise and stay lean I dont know what is! Just like goal setting your reasons for losing weight need to be written down. These are the things that will keep you going when you feel like quitting. Post the list all over. Put it on your bathroom mirror, at your desk, on your refrigerator, this way you are constantly reminded of why you are doing it. This will keep you from cheating and encourage you to grab a glass of water instead of that gallon of Ben and Jerrys! Everyone starts from a different place. We all have reasons why we are where we are the way we are. We all have different reasons why we want to change and why we want to make things different. You have to know what these reasons are and be aware when they change to help in achieving your goals.

Men and Women are Confused

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

By Jeffery Johnson There is a world of lonely people out there. Lonely men and women seemingly dissatisfied with their love life. Why would something as simple as love should be so difficult? A look at history and the relationship between the sexes can help us to understand how we got to the stage where we have 40 year old virgins and a wilderness of shattered relationships. The last 100 years have seen a tremendous shift in male/female dynamics. This has been due in part to male oppression of women and the “emancipation of women” primarily through feminism, into todays image-conscious world where beauty is highly prized and worshipped and many men no longer understand what their role is supposed to be in an increasingly changing society. Women will often say that “there are no good men left.” This statement is not true. What is true is that with the changed reality where women have more power in society and men are unable to adjust to these changes. Therefore both men and women,Particularly in the western hemisphere are having problems. A by product of this issue is a downturn in marriage and a downturn in population growth. In days gone by, the male was seen as the primary breadwinner and he was ably supported by his wife who worked at home looking after the family. Women were seen back then biologically as nurturers and better equipped to look after children. However, many men abused the roles that women played in this relationship, and did not play their role correctly, sometimesusing the opportunity to have other women while the wife was distracted with the family. In time, women had enough of an arrangement that they felt was giving an unfair advantage to men and society started to make changes. Along with the rising cost of living and the seeming inequality of the marital arrangement more women appeared in previously male-dominated roles. The freedom that women have fought for and enjoy today has been a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they are able to function in society and rightly enjoy the benefits that have long been the preserve of men. On the other hand, a competitive mentality has crept into their personal relationships shifting the respective roles of male and female. The shifting away from the traditional dynamic has made way for the feminisation of men, who in order to find himself “acceptable” needs to appear to be “sensitive” to her needs and be in touch with his “feminine side.” This is totally against the natural order. Males cannot operate successfully while trying to imitate the qualities of a woman. In like manner it is against the natural order for a woman to act like a man, particularly in a relationship. This role reversal, which is more common that you might think, leads to a lot of disappointment and heartbreak for those involved. I have often heard both men and women criticize their previous partners but never take any responsibility for their part in the relationship and whether they really played their parts correctly. Women will complain that the man does not “take the lead” not even realizing that the reason for this is because she already is leading. A man may not lead because he believes that the woman has what he terms “equal rights” for her to lead, while atthe same time complaining about where the relationship is heading. This leads to confusion. To illustrate: lets say that you go to a restaurant and order a steak. You are given a knife and a fork to eat the steak. Are the knife and fork “equal?” The answer is, equality is not the issue. Both the knife and fork have strengths that complement each other. Try and see if you can eat a steak with only a fork. Try it with only a knife. Do you see, you need both of them to be successful? Ok, try this one. What if you have two forks, this represents a man and a woman who acts like a man. How far will you get with the steak? How about two knives, a woman and a man who acts like a woman. You will not get far. Notice that in these examples, the things that were seemingly “equal” could not accomplish their task. The fact is that equality has very little to do with love or relationships in general. There will always be one who loves more than the other, one who is more emotional, one who is more supportive. In this age, we are so hung up about equality in relationships that we try to measure out what the other person should be doing. It’s like the knife saying to the fork “why are you just standing there holding the steak down while I’m doing the hard work of cutting? The knife is not even appreciating that the fork is doing a very important job of holding the steak down. My point is this: Men and women are different; they bring different qualities into a relationship. They complement each other. Neither is superior and no one is inferior. Society has somewhat brainwashed many into thinking that women have to be this alluring goddess and men their adoring slave who will do what it takes, even feminising himself to get his prize. Many men are confused, they realise that they cannot be “metro sexual,” this is alien to them. They only know how to be men. When they try to get in touch with their feminine side it feels unnatural to them. Women are using the perceived power to get an advantage in the “game” of relationships, seeking equality, where equality does not reside. In view of these points which may seem controversial to some, what is the key to successful relationships? Men need to be men and women need to be women. We must not allow the current realities to interfere with our God-given biological makeup. Men and women need to get back in touch with their natural gender and appreciate the gifts that they bring to each other Jeffery Johnson has over 10 years experience in marriage counselling.

Men’s Multi-color Wedding Bands

By Kevin Stith Most men prefer to have wedding bands that have a distinct, unique design. Metals like titanium or platinum are favored to the commonly used metals such as gold or silver. Metals like peach-gold, or colored stones help to create appealing customized designs. Generally, men’s multicolor wedding bands are made of gold or silver bands that carry semi-precious stones. Multicolor wedding bands are made of different gemstones or semiprecious stones that are set in white and yellow gold and silver bands. They are comparatively cheaper than the bands glamorized with diamond stones. The precious and semiprecious stones include rubies, sapphires, topaz, garnet, citrine, amethyst, and peridot stones. The stones are arranged in a beautiful manner that forms different designs on a wedding band. Colored stones can be crafted on sterling silver with unique patterns. These patterns look amazing. There are other multicolor wedding bands such as sterling silver stackable bands with multicolored stones. These are available in all sizes and offer an easy option to people urgently looking for wedding bands. While purchasing men’s wedding bands it is important to consider the personality of the groom. Men have different personalities and choosing loud colors for simple or introvert men would be an incorrect decision. Similarly, a loud outgoing man can wear a loud outgoing colorful band. There are silver wedding bands that have multicolor gemstones and cost a reasonable amount. They can also be personalized or customized with attractive designs or patterns. It is important to keep the budget and personality of the groom in mind while making the final choice of the wedding band. Many men prefer simple, elegant designs instead of loud flashy designs even while opting for multicolored bands. Wedding bands are a symbol of eternal union and the final selection should be based on these factors.
