By Maria Gracia Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby! Besides being relaxing and fun, it also allows you to be creative and to spend quality time with your family and friends. Plus, it results in a storybook of lifelong memories. One very important element of scrapbooking is getting it all organized. This includes, but is not limited to: storing all of your supplies in an organized fashion so they can be found instantly when you need them. remembering what supplies to pick up at the store, and eliminating duplicate purchases. finding time to research new and creative ways to spruce up your scrapbooks. finding enough time to enjoy the art of scrapbooking in your busy life. TELL A STORY. Plan your photos, before you shoot. Instead of taking random shots of someone standing here, or someone else sitting there, tell a story. For example, let's say it's Halloween. You may plan on taking four photos of your child: on the hayride taking him/her to the pumpkin field. looking for a pumpkin. finding a pumpkin. with the carved pumpkin later. GREAT PHOTOS. Photos for your scrapbooks can be extra nice if you take a little bit of time to learn some basic photography. Visit www.kodak.com for a quick photography tutorial. Getting organized has a lot to do with preparation and this site is filled with helpful tips and ideas. WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN. Organized documentation is important for the serious scrapbooker. The main goal is to eliminate future questions such as "Who or what is that?", "Where and when was this photo taken?", and so on. Document photos as you're taking them, so you'll know exactly what is on each roll of film. That way you'll be prepared when you're ready to organize the photos in your scrapbooks. TAKE CARE OF THAT UNDEVELOPED FILM. If you find rolls of film around your house that are ready to go to the developer, bring them today. You may consider mailing all of your film to a supplier such as www.mysticcolorlab.com so you don't have to spend time dropping off film or picking up photos. Simply mail your film out, and you'll get your photos back in the mail a week later. From now on, always get your film developed as soon as you take the used rolls out of your camera. STORING PHOTOGRAPHS. Once your photos are developed, you need a place to store them until you're ready to put them in your scrapbook. Keep them separated by year or event, in Ziplock bags. Label each bag with a number, and put a corresponding number on your Documentation Form. Then, store them in a photo box. Keep the box in a dry, cool place to protect your photos until you're ready to put the photos into your scrapbook. ORGANIZING BOXES OF PHOTOS. If you have boxes of photos that span from the beginning of the 1900's to now, it's time to start getting them organized. Schedule a day and time to begin sorting through them and stick with your appointment when the day rolls around. Get your kids, or friends, to help out. Begin by making piles, categorized by event or year. If you don't know the exact year, at least sort them by decade. This may take a little while, but once everything is separated, scrapbooking your photos will be much easier and more pleasant. Once they're all sorted, store your photographs as mentioned above. WORK BACKWARDS. If you're planning to scrapbook lots of photos from way back, start with the most recent photos you have, and work backwards. Chances are, you have a journal describing recent photos, and even if you don't, you can probably recall the details more easily. Older photos--the ones that you don't have a journal for--will take a little more thinking. BABY STEPS. If your scrapbooking hobby seems like a colossal job to you, it's not going to be fun. Don't feel like you have to put ALL of your photos into scrapbooks. You can always put the majority of your photos in acid-free photo albums or photo boxes where they will be safe. Choose a small set of photos to begin scrapbooking. Once you're done with this small set, you can then decide whether you want to dig into your photo albums or photo boxes and continue scrapbooking them, or leave those photos where they are, and simply scrapbook any new photos in the future. DOUBLE PRINTS. Double prints will do you no good if they're just sitting in your photo box taking up space. Do something with them. Perhaps send them to someone who is in the photograph. It's a great way to keep in touch. Or, pass the doubles onto your young children who may like to create their own scrapbooks. It's a great way for them to learn your beloved hobby and decide if they would like it to be a hobby of their own. RELATED STUFF. Sometimes, for the purpose of creatively decorating your scrapbook, you may wish to keep tickets, brochures, maps, postcards, and so on, that are related to a particular trip or event. Use manila file folders or catalog envelopes for this purpose. Label the folder/envelope so that you know which photos/Documentation Form it corresponds to. File these until they're ready to be used. KEEPING IT ALL TOGETHER. Already have a pretty good idea of stickers, diecuts, etc. that you're planning to use with a particular set of photographs? Keep them in the same Ziplock bag with the photos until you're ready to put them into your scrapbook. This way, everything will be in one place and ready to use. STICKERS AND SHAPES. Stickers and punched shapes can be kept in acid-free sheet protectors, plastic baseball card sheets, business card sheets, or even Ziplock bags that are 3-hole punched. Each sheet should be categorized and labeled by theme: birthday, Christmas, Halloween, wedding, springtime, etc. Insert these sheets into a 3-ring binder. If you have a large number of stickers and shapes, you may want to use index dividers labeled with general categories. For example, a general HOLIDAY category, may hold Easter, Christmas/Hanukkah, Halloween, etc., a general SEASONS category, may hold Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring, and so on. TINY STUFF. For very tiny diecuts and other small items, consider storing then in empty film canisters. The clear ones are best, but if you only have opaque ones, simply stick a label--or the actual diecut attached with a piece of tape-- on the canister indicating what is inside. Baby food jars serve the same purpose well. PAPER. Where do you keep all of that cool paper until you're ready to use it? You can get a plastic, portable filing container--research its composition to assure archival safety--that holds hanging file folders. Label the hanging files by theme or color. You may want to place a manila file folder into each hanging file folder, to keep your papers from curling. Or, you may buy file folder pockets or sheet protectors that fit into a 3-ring binder and store your papers inside each pocket, categorized and labeled. By the way, be very careful not to store acid-free paper with other paper. STORAGE CONTAINERS. Do a little bit of research and purchase a scrapbooking organizer, which will hold papers, supplies, etc. There are many products on the market that can help you keep it all together. Many office supply stores carry six-drawer organization stations. They're vertical and have 6 see-through drawers of equal size. Each drawer can be designated for a different purpose--papers, templates/diecuts, stickers, etc. Plus, they have wheels, which makes them very easy to transport from one room to another. Or, if you often bring your scrapbooking supplies outside of your home, such as to a friend's house, use a portable system that isn't too heavy or cumbersome, and comes with a handle. STENCILS. Put your stencils/templates into sheet protectors that can be purchased at any office supplies store. Then insert them into a 3-ring binder for easy access. By the way, you can store two templates in one sheet protector with a piece of paper in between each--white or colored depending on the color of your template. This will make it easier to see the designs and eliminate them from catching onto each other. SUPPLY CADDY. If you always scrapbook at home, use a kitchen utensil caddy with a number of divided compartments, like those you normally keep tall kitchen spoons, ladles, and spatulas in. The ones that spin will keep everything you need at your fingertips. HANG IT UP. If you're lucky enough to have a room specifically designated for your scrapbooking hobby, hang a large pegboard above your work area. You can then attach scissors, templates, crimpers, rulers, stencils and more, all within easy sight and reach. In addition, you might hang a small ledge or shelf nearby, to store all of your corner rounders, photo corners, and so on. If you prefer everything out in the open, this system will work like a charm. RUBBER STAMPS. Store rubber stamps in shallow, plastic containers, a rubber stamping organizer, or a plastic organizer with shallow drawers. Don't stack stamps. They should be stored in a single layer, so that you can always see the top of the stamp showing the design. OTHER STORAGE IDEAS. Fishing tackle boxes--with compartments and levels that expand and collapse--are wonderful for storing scrapbooking supplies and tools. Plastic tool boxes, with many see-through drawers are also great for this purpose. SCRAPBOOKING MAGAZINES. Is your closet full of scrapbooking magazines? There are a few things to do about this dilemma. 1) You can go through your magazines, find the articles you wish to keep and organize them into file folders by category. In other words, keep the article, toss the magazine. 2) Or you can keep the magazines in cardboard magazine boxes. If you do this, you should always keep a list of the title/issue of the magazine, the pages that interest you, and a few words describing why they interested you. This way, you can just scan your list, instead of going through the entire magazine to find what you're looking for. You can even use your computer and create the list in a word processing file. Then using the Find feature, you can simply search for key words in your document. HOLD THAT THOUGHT. Rather than keeping all those great scrapbooking ideas and tips in your head--you know, the ones you pick up from magazines, web sites, etc.-- keep a 3-ring binder with some notepaper inside for all your thoughts and ideas. Plus, when you see something in a magazine, you can simply tear the page out of the magazine, 3-hold punch it, and place it in your binder. The same goes if you see something on a web site that you wish to refer to later; just print it out and insert it into your binder. You can even separate the binder into a few different sections, such as page layout ideas, organizing ideas, neat tools/supplies, etc. CHOOSE A DESIGNATED WORK AREA. Scrapbooking is more fun and less of a chore, when everything is in one place and in close, accessible proximity to your working area. Designate a room, or a portion of a room, in your home for this activity. You should be able to retrieve your supplies, photos, etc. in seconds, without having to walk into another room, or rummage through a closet. SHOPPING. Use an organized shopping system so you remember what you want to pick up for your hobby --scissors, crimpers, papers, etc. This will also eliminate purchasing items that you already have. When you think of something you need, immediately put it on a SCRAPBOOKING PICK UP list, and bring this list with you when you go shopping. Using 3 inch x 5 inch index cards, make examples of your cuts and punches on them. Label and keep them in your day timer, or a tiny 3-ring binder. Bring these cards with you when shopping for scrapbooking items, and you'll never buy duplicates. This also works great for remembering what color pens/pencils you have. Just draw a line on your index cards and label them. USE WHAT YOU HAVE FIRST. Resist the urge to buy a million new papers, punches, and so on, until you've used some of the craft supplies you already have. Unless you're planning on opening a scrapbooking warehouse, it's best to be choosy before emptying your wallet on new items, when you already have items you could use in your current supply. SHOP ONLINE. You'll save a lot of time running back and forth to the store, if you commit instead to making your purchases online. TRADE. If you have something that you haven't used in a year or more, such as craft scissors, stickers, etc., swap them with a friend. Who knows? Perhaps your friend will find immediate use for this item, and you will get something you can use right now in return. GOALS. Always set goals for your scrapbooking hobby, perhaps one to two pages a week. This is especially necessary if you're creating a scrapbook for an upcoming special occasion. PLAN. Before you start working on your pages, plan ahead. Arrange your photos in chronological order and gather stickers, diecuts, etc. that correspond with your photos. Think about your layout and how you plan to document each photo. This will ensure you're going to be happy with the final results, and will reduce the need to redo things. DO THE TWO STEP. Step One: Assemble your pages with your photos, documentation and critical diecuts. Step Two: Decorate with stickers, stamps, etc. The two-step process will help you get the critical part (step one) done faster, and then you can continue with the second step (less important) later on. KEEP YOUR PAGES SIMPLE. Although you may really feel the need for creating a work of art on occasion, if your goal is to get a scrapbook done as quickly as possible, keep it simple. Getting photos and documentation in the album is the main goal. Save your really creative moments for extra special scrapbooking projects. And remember, too much stuff on any one page, takes away from the photos. QUICK COLOR SCHEMES. Quickly, organize your scrapbooks with colors that compliment each other, by referencing a good color harmony book. You can pick one up at your local bookstore. They include hundreds of color combination examples. Color Harmony, by Hideaki Chijiiwa, is an excellent book for this purpose. MULTI-TASKING. Looking for a few minutes here or there to catch up on your scrapbooking? Take and make all your phone calls in the same room as your designated scrapbooking work area. Then, while you're on the phone with your friends or family, you can crop, frame or mount at the same time. Or, instead of making punches when you need them, make a bunch of punches at once while you're watching television, or are on the telephone, or when you're waiting for a pot of water to boil. This will save time later because your punches will be ready when you need them. GET YOUR KIDS INVOLVED. Many people like to get their kids involved with the actual project, such as arranging stickers, applying diecuts, etc. If you would rather your kids were not involved with the actual project, give them a project of their own. You can always find a few photos that you're not going to use in your scrapbook, some inexpensive paper, kid scissors, etc. Then have each child make their very own scrapbook. Either way, the kids will be occupied, which will give you time to enjoy your hobby. ELIMINATE BICKERING. If you have more than one child that is involved with a scrapbooking activity, get them each their own plastic storage box and/or accordion files to keep their own supplies in. This way, when they want to work on their scrapbook, all of their supplies will already be separated. You may even color code their supplies, plastic boxes, etc. so they always know which stuff belongs to them. For example, blue container, blue scissors and markers labeled in blue for Billy, and all pink for Sally. FAMILY TIME. Scrapbooking is a great way to spend some time with your family. Get the whole family involved and around the table at the same time. It's a great time to share ideas and dreams with each other. Can't seem to get the male family members involved? Perhaps they can sit at the table while the females are scrapbooking, and they could do something they enjoy at the same time. At least everyone will be together and having fun. TEAM UP. Scrapbooking is a great way to spend time with your friends and catch up with each other. Start a scrapbooking club and meet at each other's homes one day every few weeks. Make a party of it! IDENTIFY. The next time you get together with friends, or a scrapbooking club, put a little piece of colored tape on your scissors' handles, the sides of your punch tools, pens, etc. Then, everyone could share, but you'll be sure to get your tools back when it's time to go home. DON'T TAKE THE KITCHEN SINK. If you're going to be scrapbooking at a friend's home, take a few minutes to plan what you want to work on. By doing this, you will only have to carry those supplies you're going to use. In other words, if you're going to be working on a wedding theme, there's no reason to be carrying all of your holiday items with you. CLEAR THE WAY. If you are spending too much time looking for supplies, background papers, photos, frames, that great rubber stamp and so on, then, it's time to organize your work station. Declutter and toss out or trade those items you don't need, you don't like, etc. Organize your supplies into binders and storage containers. You should always be working on a clear surface, with only the current project in front of you. CLEAN UP THE SCRAPS. If there is a wastepaper basket right near your work station, all of the scraps that you're not planning on using can be tossed immediately. Don't leave trash on your work surface. If you visit a friend's home, you may want to carry along an empty tissue box so that all scraps can be discarded immediately, and make clean-up for your host quick and easy. PUT IT AWAY. Always have a home for your supplies, and when you're finished using them, take a few moments to put everything away. You should be able to start fresh with a clear mind and a clear surface. BIG ITEM/SMALL ITEM. Never place a big item over a smaller item, because if you do, it will be out of sight, and difficult to find quickly. ERGONOMICS. Organize your work area for increased productivity. Make sure it's well lit. Have a comfortable chair to sit on. Your supplies and tools should be within arms reach. SAFETY. Organize your scrapbooking with safety in mind. Use a protective covering for your table. Craft mats are great for cutting on. Scissors and other sharp tools should be face down in a holder, and out of a young child's reach. MAKE IT EASY. Different personality styles require different organization systems. Make sure you use an organization system you can live with--one that works with your style and that allows you to find things without delay. If you find things easier when they're alphabetized, then use that type of system. Perhaps you're better at finding things by color. Then use that system. Your organization system must work in harmony with your personality. DON'T DO SO MUCH. Finding the time for your scrapbooking and/or rubberstamping hobby can be difficult if you have too many things going on in your life. Reduce or eliminate the activities you don't truly enjoy. Reduce the activities of your children. Get on an organized cleaning schedule, so you're not wasting the entire weekend cleaning up. Make easier dinners that are healthy, but take half the time to prepare. Get your family to help out with household chores and obligations. SPARE TIME. Those spare minutes that we all have can be put to good use. Have to wait at the doctor's office for your appointment? Sketch out a quick layout idea. Waiting for the wash cycle to finish? Sort out some photos, or gather supplies for tomorrow's scrapbooking project. WRITE IT DOWN. Don't ever leave your home without a small notebook in hand. You're bound to come up with a thought, or a cute caption, for your scrapbook. If you don't write it down right away, you may forget about it. You may also want to keep a small pad and a pen right near your bedside, in case you have a bright idea in the middle of the night. ENJOY! Plan, organize and schedule some time to enjoy your creations with family and friends. Scrapbooking is all about fun, laughter, memories, and touching moments!

How to Find Equity Loan Bargains Like the Perfect Cash Back Equity Loan
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=James_Ellison]James Ellison The World Wide Net is loaded with equity loan deals. Some lenders are proposing low interest loans to entice the homeowners in the front door. Loaners offering low interest rates on home equity loans are sometimes even choosing to pay the closing charges on fee loans. The negative aspect to this is that loans with no closing fees expect the borrower take out a loan above and on top of the normal ability to repay. So, if you acquire an equity loan with no closing fees, you most probably must go for a loan amount of $400,000 or more to get the deal. If your home equity does not fit the loan amount, then you will be instantly disapproved for such a loan. If studying loans, it makes sense to know what you are entering into. Many borrowers apply for equity loans; and frequently they search out a way of paying off school loans, buying new vehicles, fix up homes, or merging their debts. Some borrowers take out equity loans thinking it can help cut their mortgage payments on the 1st loan. With some cases, equity loans can cut the monthly installments on mortgage; however, some lenders make amends for with higher interest rates, especially if the borrower has unfinished credit matters. The lender may disapprove or step-up the interest rates, and may even increase the monthly installments on the mortgage. When looking at equity loans, it is smart to search the market for the good deals. The Internet has a plentiful supply of info that will direct borrowers on the right path to obtaining the right equity loans. As the end result, looking for equity loans and going for the loans is a full-size decision. Thus, when
studying equity loans, one should always consider the bargains comparing them to other loans. Just because one loan has somewhat higher interest rates, doesn't mean that it has more to provide than bargain loans. How to Obtain the Perfect Cash Back Equity Loan There are dozens of loans accessible over the Internet, like cash back equity loans. Cash back equity loans are aimed to aid home-owners making improvements on their home. Improvements will raise the equity on the home, which is the reason lenders are often willing to give when handing out cash back loans, just because they will get their money returned one way or another. The cash back equity loans are released against the equity on the home, thus the lender will offer the buyer a large amount of cash versus the mortgage on the home. The money can be utilized at the buyers free will; however, it is smart to use the money as designated. Still, if you are obliged to pay on credit cards or other secured obligations, you may wish to pay off the debts to unblock some cash, especially if you are paying higher interest rates on your credit card bills. Few borrowers use the money to buy a new car; this is only contributing to the debt. The cash back loans expect the borrower to pay x sum of repayments on a loan before the cash is dispensed. The cash back loans also moves on the amount of mortgage offered. In other words, if you get a loan in the amount of $105,000, the cash back loan will give a large sum of cash. Cash back loans against equity is attractive, however the loans sometimes have higher rates of interest. The goal of the loan is to assist the borrower and the lender get out front in the mortgage game. Sally Mae is one of the numerous lenders providing cash back loans, and this program will offer about $2000 give or take on a $65,000 loan. Therefore, the cash back loans are attractive, but other loans against equity have the best deals sometimes. If thinking about loans, consider all detail of the conditions first prior to signing a contract to ensure you are getting the best deal.

Cellulite Machines
By Peter Emerson Cellulite affects as much as 98 percent of females and is more prevalent in Caucasians than in Asians. The dimpling of the skin caused by overhanging fat creates what we know as cellulite. Also, cellulite is rarely seen in men and may only be apparent when there is severe hormonal deficiency. It is a common misconception that cellulite is actually related to one's weight; it is not. It is a skin condition that affects those who are overweight, those with average weight and even those who are underweight. Although harmless, a lot of people abhor the way cellulite distorts the appearance of their bodies and are greatly concerned. The cosmetic industry and certified skin experts claim to have remedies to reduce cellulite and have introduced that claim can obliterate cellulite. There are light devices that when applied create a light energy that is said to melt cellulite. They mechanically massage the skin and increase circulation thereby draining lymph vessels that contain cellulite fluids. One the more popular light devices relies on laser light to melt cellulite. The laser light first cools the skin and then penetrates without burning or harming the uppermost layer. Using a combination of suction and drainage, fluids are removed by exerting pressure on the fat cells and loosening the dimpling effect of cellulite. Laser light treatments are available of from doctors and other beauty centers. Another machine that claims to melt cellulite uses radio frequency energy and infrared to heat then release cellulite cells. It works the same way as light devices, massaging the skin using suctions to release what causes the dimpling effect with high levels of energy. Treatments are performed by a physician. There are also deep mechanical massaging machines available that work the same way as the first two mentioned and claim to stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage eliminating fat from cells. Any cellulite treatment is costly and is usually not covered by insurance. The prices do not include visits to a skin-care consultant several times a month to make sure the celluite does not return. Choosing the best way to get rid of cellulite is a matter of personal preference. Cellulite provides detailed information on Cellulite, Cellulite Treatment, Cellulite Cream, Causes of Cellulite and more. Cellulite is affiliated with Hoodia Diet Pills.

Colon Cleansing-A Step Toward Better Health
By Adriana Copaceanu Colon cleansing has become one of the more recent additions to the healthier lifestyle regime. While it sounds unpleasant, there are several benefits to the process. Among these benefits are preventing constipation, weight loss, increased energy, clearer skin, all leading to an overall healthier feeling. If you compare your body to your homes plumbing, it is easy to see how beneficial this can be. If your plumbing is clogged, water cant go down the drain. The same is true of our bodies. If our plumbing is clogged, the body cant properly do its job getting rid of waste. While most people may feel they are fine, their system is not as efficient as it could be. As we get older, we tend to eliminate waste less often than we did as children (think about how many times we have to change a young childs diapers). The more often we are eliminating waste, the less time it has to build up in our system and cause problems. The longer waste builds up, the more health problems it can cause, as waste attaches itself to the sides of the colon. The inside of the colon gets covered in sticky mucus, catching more waste and building up more toxic material. This build up can cause several health problems, including diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, headaches, dull eyes, poor skin, spots, aching muscles, joint pains, and depression. (Brody and Trickett , 2005) In order to return your system to a more efficient routine, a colon cleansing is key. There are different types of cleansing. A colon irrigation can be quicker, more efficient way to cleanse the colon, but many people would prefer a less invasive approach. There are some supplements that can assist in the process, as well as a change in diet. Some cleansing programs recommend a juice fast. While the cleansing is beneficial, some rapid systems can cause temporary discomforts during the process, including headaches, flu and possibly nervous symptoms, such as anxiety and irritability. These problems should be better after about five days, leading to better overall health. Most people prefer a more gradual approach. No matter which approach you take, it is best to consult your doctor first, especially if the colon cleanse includes a drastic change in diet. The doctor can recommend the best way for you to go about cleansing your colon that will be the most beneficial to you. References: Brody, Karen and Trickett, Shirley (2005). Colon Cleansing.

How To Use A PDA Cell Phone To Reduce Stress And Organize Your Life
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gregg_Hall]Gregg Hall Do you stress over trying to remember schedules and appointments? Do you need to be able to access the internet on the road for email or information? If, so you consider getting one of the new PDA cell phones that are now available. I personally own a Treo, the same one that Jack Bauer uses in the series, 24. It makes my life a lot easier and I am sure that you will have similar feelings. The new PDA cell phones are hybrids of the PDA of the past combined with a cell phone and optional access to the internet. These devices are fast becoming a popular, must have accessory for young urban professionals as well as others in sales related industries such as insurance, financial planning, and real estate whose jobs require them to be out of the office quite a bit. These hybrid devices have now made it unnecessary to carry along two separate gadgets, combining the benefits of both a cellular phone and a personal organizer. The sheer convenience and mobility all rolled into one are the main reasons for the popularity PDA cell phones. One of the things I like most is the ability to use my phone to store many phone numbers that can be easily and quickly accessed like having your own phonebook. Some of the newer devices have huge storage available in the device themselves that will hold hundreds of names. In addition, many also offer the ability to install an optional data card for even more storage. I have one of these for my phone because I use the camera option a lot and the images take up a lot of space, especially movies! Another cool thing is that you can synch your PDA to your PC or laptop and download any data such as pictures or notes from meetings to your main computer. One of the best uses for these new devices is to use them for scheduling all of your meetings and appointments. With a built in timekeeper you can even set alarms to notify you ahead of time so that you don't miss anything. Now you never have to worry about forgetting an important date or missing an appointment. Like all new technology the PDA cell phones are evolving all the time and becoming better and easier to use as well as lower in price. The latest Treo even uses Windows and Microsoft Office products to help you have a virtual office in the palm of your hand. Once you try one of these your life will never be the same.

20 Lemon Law Topics from Automobiles to Puppies
By Jimmy Wilson Lemon Laws are not just for automobiles anymore. There are lemon laws that protect consumers from defective computers to puppies. You have rights after a purchase, you just need to know how and where to find the legal representation that best suits your situation. Lemon Laws were designed to give the unsuspecting public from would-be frauds and sellers of damaged merchandise. Were it not for this respectable constitutional protection under the laws of our great nation, there would be more crime and violence exhibited than you could imagine. The unfortunate side is knowing where to seek the proper specialists that can provide the right counsel for your wronged situation. We've all purchased an item that hasn't lived up to it's claim and we naturally assume the seller was probably aware before the sale that it was defective. Often a bargain is far from it, and once we buy into the bargain price, we see how we were taken. Being on the end of a bad deal doesn't have to end there. Lemon Laws actually save us from doing the unthinkable so many times. When we learn we have a defective item, we can follow some very clear cut steps to seek resolution. Legally, you have rights to correct this type of situation and once you've applied yourself constructively to get your money refunded, you can see how valuable the lemon laws really are. Lemon Law Specialists can save you more than just the refund amount due to you. If there was intent to intentionally defraud you, you can seek additional restitution for your loss of time and additional expenses associated with the fraudulent item. Take the time to read more in the area you feel your item is related and see what your options are. Don't think you don't have a voice or say in a bad purchase. Actually, your willingness to speak up and pursue your wrongful purchase can avoid it happening to others. You are exersizing your rights and helping to protect other unsuspecting victims like yourself. http://wealthsmith.com/lemon-law-articles.htm Jim is an online writer that covers the topics that you want to know more about.

Take Bad Credit History Unsecured Loans without Credit Worries
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Taylor]Peter Taylor Are you a victim of unavoidable circumstances which compelled you to default on loan repayments and debts begun mounting on you? What is worse for you is that you are labeled as bad credit and loan availing for urgent expenditures has become a tough task. Your bad credit history however does not matter much anymore as there are specialist lenders around who provide bad credit history unsecured loans. The loan is tailor made for tenants or non-homeowners who do not own a property to take a loan against and to offset bad credit. Bad credit history unsecured loans are usually applied for by tenants or non-homeowners, though homeowners also are eligible. Bad credit history means the borrower repeatedly defaulted on loan repayments and as a consequence had to face county court judgments. With all these negative developments recorded in tenants credit report, his credit score gets a heavy beating. On FICO credit score scale ranging from 300 to 850, a bad credit is labeled when credit score falls below 580. Though nothing much can be done about bad credit history and bad credit score immediately, but in taking bad credit history unsecured loans, lenders are more concerned about seriousness of the tenant in paying back installments in a timely manner. So before approaching the lender, it would be wise to pay off easy debts if any. Also check your credit report for any inaccuracies. Lenders main concern in a loan offer is the safe and timely return of the loan. In bad credit history unsecured loans, lenders face a two fold risk; there is no property to secure the loan and bad credit history which means the borrower can repeat payment default. So it all boils down to what extent the borrower is able to convince the lender about safe repayment of bad credit history unsecured loans. This means documents of annual income, service years spent as an employee and bank statements are crucial and play a major role. Show these documents to the lender. Also make a very convincing repayment plan stating how much of money you are left with after paying for routine expenses and paying previous loans. This way lender exactly knows about your repayment capacity and offers you bad credit history unsecured loans without any collateral. Remember that in the cut-throat loan market where competition is getting tougher, lenders are more interested in your present income rather than bad credit. However, because of risks, lenders provided a smaller amount under bad credit history unsecured loans. The interest rate also is kept higher to cut risks and for the same reason, repayment duration ranges up to few years. Tenants usually require smaller loan so paying higher interest in shorter repayment duration is generally not a big problem for them. But instead of applying to any lender, first look for a lender that suits your budget. Each bad credit history unsecured loans provider has displayed own interest rate and terms-conditions on websites. Compare them and apply online to the chosen lender. Online bad credit history unsecured loans providers approve the loan faster for timely use. Surely bad credit history unsecured loans come to the rescue of borrowers like tenants who are suffering from bad credit. Make sure the loan installments are regularly paid off so that credit score gets repaired and in future loan availing becomes a lot easier. Peter Taylor is a senior financial analyst at Bad Credit Unsecured Loan with an acumen for finance and insurance. In recent years he has taken up to provide independant financial advice through his informative articles. His articles are widely read because of the lucid manner of writing and thoroughly researched datas.

BlackBerry 8100 Pearl: It's Remarkably Small, Incredibly Powerful
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alice_Erin]Alice Erin Conceived and developed by Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM), BlackBerry business phones and wireless handhelds are designed to boost work and enterprise on the move. Email access and web browsing capabilities have ensured the popularity of BlackBerry smartphones among business entrepreneurs. The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 is the first in the series to integrate a digital camera, MP3 player, video player and an expandable memory slot and signals RIM's entry into the consumer market. Slightly larger than an I-pod nano, a thin and light (3.1 ounces) form factor and a very solid, high-quality feel - the BlackBerry Pearl is one of the lightest and smallest smartphones. RIM has reduced the number to keys by approximately 50 percent to give the Pearl an all new look. The user interface gets an intuitive makeover with the integration of a trackball navigation and the trackball itself resembles a dazzling pearl! A large, ultra-bright, high-resolution LCD colour screen with light sensing technology displays vivid visuals. The keypad is the SureType hybrid QWERTY with dedicated send, end, convenience, power and mute keys. This easy-to-use smartphone is equipped with call management features such as smart dialing, conference calling, speed dialing and call forwarding. Add to it features such as wireless push delivery of email and data, secure access to Internet and intranet-based applications, single mailbox integration, attachment viewing of popular file formats and you have an application powerhouse in your palms. The quad-band BlackBerry Pearl also provides seamless connectivity through Bluetooth, wireless modem, EDGE and GPRS. What makes the Pearl standout from other handsets in the BlackBerry series is its multimedia kit. The 1.3 mega pixel digital camera, MP3 and video players on the Pearl might not be very impressive but nonetheless they serve to break the monotony and provide some much needed entertainment.

By Kim Crinella The Hawaiian word LUAU (pronounce loo-ow) means- a feast. For the people who live in the Hawaiian Islands a luau is a gathering of family and friends to enjoy good food, good company, and good times! Because the atmosphere at a luau is Hang Loose and less stuffy than a traditional formal wedding reception guests and the wedding couple tend to be more relaxed right from the start, which allows everyone to enjoy themselves and the reception more fully. With creative decorating any backyard or banquet hall can be turned into a virtual Hawaii destination! Encourage guests to wear aloha attire to get in the Aloha spirit and contribute to the Hawaiian atmosphere. The most cost effective way to add touches of Hawaii is to decorate with fresh loose orchid blooms. It is amazing what a change in atmosphere adding a few fresh orchids here and there can do! They can be used to add tropical touches to your wedding cake, food plates, bar drinks, table tops, grassy areas, and float in water features. You can encourage guests to pick up a loose orchid and put it in their button hole or behind their ear. In Hawaii wearing a flower behind an ear has a specific meaning...behind the left ear means taken, behind the right ear means available. How much Hawaiiana you want to add is up you your personal preference and budget. Some additional creative ways to add touches of Hawaii to your wedding reception are: Have children dressed in hula outfits to greet guests with silk or shell leis.

Tummy Tuck Recovery
By Seth Miller A tummy tuck is a serious medical procedure that many men and women undergo each year. Your commitment to recovery and self-care will ensure that your body has the best chance for full recovery. Following your physicians instructions for post-operative care is the most important thing you can do for tummy tuck recovery. After your tummy tuck, you will rest in a recovery room, or you might even be admitted to the hospital overnight. In either case, your physician will be monitoring you as you come out of general anesthesia, or the local anesthesia wears off. You will have swelling in the abdominal area, and it will be sore. You will be given antibiotics and painkillers to assist in your tummy tuck recovery. It is important that you communicate any allergies you have and any other vitamins, herbs or medications you take so that the medications prescribed for your recovery will be right for you. As with all antibiotics, it is important to take the full course of medicine, as prescribed. Once you are released, most physicians will prescribe two to three days of bed rest. While they may seem like three very long days, it is crucial for your tummy tuck recovery that you follow your surgeons instructions. If possible, have a friend or family member stay with you for those initial days at home so that they can help you and keep an eye on you as you recover. You will receive personalized instructions on medication, compression, elevation and rest during this time. Your physician may even be able to give you advice on ways to minimize scarring. After your initial tummy tuck recovery, you will slowly be able to return to your normal activities. Your level of fitness will ultimately determine how long your tummy tuck recovery takes. For most people, it takes about 6 months for full recovery. After your initial weeks of recovery, your physician will prescribe a diet and exercise routine to follow for optimal tummy tuck recovery. At any time, it is important to call your surgeons office if you experience excessive pain, swelling or bleeding. The office will be able to make suggestions, or schedule an appointment if necessary. After your recovery is complete, scar tissue will continue to fade and your abdomen will have the flat, tight look that you desire. Great results are typically visible about 8 months after the operation. Tummy Tuck Info provides detailed information on standard and mini tummy tucks, surgery and recovery procedures, and other advice, including the cost of surgery. Tummy Tuck Info is the sister site of Liposuction Web. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Seth_Miller http://EzineArticles.com/?Tummy-Tuck-Recovery&id=74856 cheap phentermine mastercard

Osteopathic Manipulation Study: An Interview with Dr. Miriam V. Mills
By CarolAnn Bailey-Lloyd Recently, I had the unique privilege to interview Miriam V. Mills, (M.D., FAAP) from the Young People's Clinic in Tulsa, OK. Dr. Mills is credited for directing the landmark research project (at the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine) on the study of Osteopathic manipulative treatment for ear infections in children. The study was first publicized in the MD (allopathic) literature and more recently in the Sept 2003 issue of the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. Dr. Mills remarked: "Osteopathic manipulative treatment was developed by Andrew Taylor Still (who was himself an MD, but who established osteopathy) over 100 years ago. One of his students, William Garner Sutherland, expanded the manipulative treatments to include the head and related structures, which is called osteopathy in the cranial field. There is not one "technique" that is used, but a variety of approaches, depending on the problem encountered. This has been taught for over 50 years. The experience of most practitioners of these methods find remarkable benefit from them, though there has been little in the literature to document these experiences. I am a pediatrician in private practice (Young People's Clinic, PC, in Tulsa, OK (www.youngpeoplesclinic.yourmd.com/miriammills), and I find that in my general pediatric practice, having used these manipulative techniques for the last 10 years (as am MD, I learned these techniques after being in practice already awhile), I have less problems with colic and feeding problems, headaches, ear infections, and complications of upper and lower respiratory infections. I admit fewer children to the hospital and have to refer fewer children for sub-specialist care than my pediatric colleagues. Since the development of osteopathy in the cranial field, other practitioners (including chiropractors, massage therapists, and physical therapists) have utilized some of the same methods, going by the name of `cranio-sacral therapy.' I cannot vouch for exactly what these methods are, or their effectiveness, as they are not what was studied in my research." According to Dr. Mills, the study was performed under controlled, blinded groups of children across four (4) sites in the nation. Of these groups, 32 children were in the control group and 25 were in the treatment group. The study produced phenomenal findings. The culmination of a six-month observation period demonstrated that there was a statistically significant difference in (within treatment group) episodic ear infections. Of the control group, 8 children reverted to tube installation as opposed to 1 in the treatment group. Dr. Mills explained, "...There was a trend, though not quite statistically significant, to having fewer antibiotics prescribed to children in the treatment group." As indicated by Dr. Mills, sessions with children can last from 20-40 minutes, and can take 3-4 sessions every 2 weeks to see a notable difference. In Dr. Mills' own practice, children are seen periodically over 4-6 month duration to be certain that these children are responding well to the treatment. As children develop and incur physical changes or injuries with relation to body tissues, this observation period is necessary. Dr. Mills further explained that most initial compressions are results from childbirth. Osteopathic manipulation treatment can range in cost from $75 - $150, depending on individual needs. Dr. Mills also mentioned, "...since many physicians' services are covered by insurance, this may cover a large part of the cost of osteopathic manipulation..." Ultimately, the patient's treatment cost is usually his or her copay for office visits. Collaborative efforts of the research team documented a comparison of children who received conventional medical treatment (with or without manipulation). To Dr. Mills' knowledge, there has not been a comparison study of osteopathic manipulation (alone) to medical treatment (alone). However, the Osteopathic Manipulation Treatment did present a remarkably decreased need for surgical treatment in the reported study. Osteopathic Manipulation is a noninvasive treatment that is mild and accepted well. Dr. Mills commented, "...though the children sometimes need to be distracted with toys in order to lie still for the length of time involved. There is no popping or cracking involved in the treatment, when applied to young children." Osteopathic practitioners who are involved in the cranial field are doctors or dentists who are most often members of the Cranial Academy (www.cranialacademy.org). Dr. Mills also relayed that nationwide demand for Osteopathic medicine is immense, therefore more interest in this field is prompting physicians to receive adequate training. Based on these findings, one can only naturally assume that osteopathic manipulation treatment is a welcomed alternative innovation within the medical community. As society is realizing the potential benefits and effectiveness of natural medicine and noninvasive medical procedures, Osteopathic Manipulation is gaining lead-way in modern health treatments - especially for chronic ailment sufferers.

Can You Overcome Depression?
By S. A. Baker There are many things that happen within the body when depression occurs. It is not only a feeling, but a disease that is often caused by an imbalance of chemicals within the brain. Is it avoidable? Is there a way to cure depression? It is important to understand that depression is not caused by feeling bad. Instead, depression causes the bad moods, the uneasy feelings, and the worries. For that reason, anyone who is dealing with depression, need to go to their doctor and begin treatments. For many, treating depression will give them their life back. Through the use of medication and therapy, depression can be relieved and it may or may not return down the road. No matter what has caused the depression in you or your loved one, you will not be able to cure depression on your own. You can find ways to lessen the effects on your body and mind through positive energy and forcing yourself to work through it. The question of whether or not depression can be overcome can be answered by any of the thousands that have worked through their depression through the use of medications and therapy. Again, you can not fight depression on your own; you need others to help you get through it. In order to learn more about depression, avoiding it, and getting through it, visit websites like www.avoiddepression.com. The website is not a medical website but more of a resource to help individuals learn about their condition or the condition of the people they love. S A Baker is staff writer at Depression.

Flower- the Story of Evolution
By John Gibb Flowers are the Natural beauties sent as a Gift by Nature to the World. They add fragrance, briiliance and beauty to the surroundings. The History of the Flowers in this Earth must go to the day when the Plants emerged in the World. Scientific research have shown that the Plants are in this World for the past more than 425 Million years and they have developed from their primituve form of Spores. The seeds for the Plants came in the primitve form as spores the small copies of themselves that can grow in other places. The Plants began to develop protection for the spores and thus came the seeds and there came into being the assured way of propagation and systematic reproduction by following regular Life cycles. The Flowers must have appeared during this stage and the earliest fossil proof of actual Flowers appears only 130 million years ago. But we do not have clear proof of how and when the Flowers developed for the first time as the fossil desposits do not give enough proof in this direction. The father of the theory of Evolution Charles Darwin himself is persplexed over this issue and calls this an abominal Mystery. It is generally assumed that the function of Flowers, from the start, was to involve other Animals in the reproduction process. Pollen should be taken to other places and for this the assistance of other living beings are necessary and it may not be possible without giving any other benefit. The Plants in some Islands developed sudden, fully developed appearance of Flowers and used them to develop a highly specialized relationship with some specific Animals and Birds. This type of specialized relationship with another Animal bearing pollen from one plant to another has resulted in both the plant(s) and their partners developing a high degree of specialization. Likewise, the next stage of the Flower the Fruits are used in plant reproduction that comes from the enlargement of parts of the Flower itself and is a tool which depends upon animals wishing to eat it, and thus scattering the seeds it contains. The hard proof as to the existence of Flowers about 130 million years ago, is available though circumstantial evidence we know that they did exist up to 250 million years ago. Flowers are genetically just an adaptation of normal Leaf and stem components on Plants, and the most primitive Flowers are thought to have both Male and Female parts on the same flower and to be dominated by the Female part. In later stages of evolution, Flowers grew more advanced, some, with a much more specific number and design, and with either specific sexes per Flower or plant. We see that Flower evolution continues even today; that the Modern Flowers have been influenced by humans to such a degree that many of them cannot be pollinated in Nature. John Gibb is the owner of flower sources

Why Spend $40.00/$50.00 or More, on Perfumes that Don't Even Last and Have Harsh Alcohol?
By Alexa Van Eden First of all, you may ask, "What exactly are Perfume Oils?" Perfume Oils are the pure oils that perfumes are made from. Island of Eden's Perfume Oils are alcohol and chemical-free. Perfumes and colognes that one may purchase for $50.00 or more in department stores contain an average of only 33% pure perfume oil, and the rest (67%) is alcohol, water, butane, etc. Alcohol "kills the soul of the plant or flower essence." Butane is used as a sort-of lighter-than-air fragrance carrier. It causes the perfume to have a powerful scent when first sprayed, but fades away quickly. The reason you can buy perfume oils for such a low cost, is connected to low overhead, and the perfume oil industry's general practice of selling the product at a fair price. When you pay for the high-end designer brands, you are paying for a fancy bottle and a designer name. Our perfume oils are the highest quality you can purchase! Don't be fooled by other perfume oils, there are different grades of oils! Island of Eden's oils are very concentrated, and are the best perfume oils you can buy! Even other perfume oil companies may dilute their oils down. Try ours and you'll experience the difference! Why do designers use alcohol in their perfumes anyway if it's so bad? All commercially available "perfumes" are actually perfume oils with fillers. First, and foremost, it causes the perfume oils to evaporate faster than they would by themselves - up to 10 or 15 times more quickly! This gives the impression that the perfume is 10 or 15 times stronger than it actually is. That is why, when you first put on a fragrance, the aroma may sometimes seem overwhelming to those around you. It is also why the scent is almost all gone within one or two hours. The perfume oils have evaporated along with the alcohol! The second reason for all those fillers is just 'good' marketing -- a bigger bottle containing fragrance plus fillers seems like a much better value than a smaller one of pure oil. This illusion is further reinforced by the strong, short-lasting, alcohol driven aroma. So what's wrong with alcohol anyway? **Alcohol tends to kill off some of the most beautiful notes in many fragrances, which in pure form, are truly delicious.
**Alcohol isn't really good for you. Perfume fillers generally use ethyl alcohol, sometimes called ethanol. Your body considers ethanol to be a poison and many people who think they are allergic to perfume are actually allergic to the alcohol in the perfume
**Alcohol is a drying agent -- used by industries all over the world as an additive to make thing evaporate very quickly. Unfortunately for you, as the alcohol evaporates, it also takes away the fragrance and your own natural body oils along with it, drying your skin as it goes! Your fragrance will last, and last, and last...with Perfume Oils! Since Island of Eden's Perfume Oils are undiluted, you can expect your fragrance to last literally hours and hours! Not only will they last on you, they will last years in their bottles! Many people are not aware that perfumes with fillers spoil! (Ever noticed how your department store brands went "bad" after a year or so?) Industry experts say 6 to 18 months is the usual shelf-life of a perfume, depending on the components and their quality. But, perfume oils will retain their fragrance year after year! Why are your perfume oils called "Types?" The formulas for designer perfumes are very well-kept secrets indeed, but trained and experienced fragrance professionals can pick apart the elements of most fragrances. Augmenting these skills with modern chemical techniques, such as the use of gas-liquid chromatography, helps make it possible to match a given fragrance with the same or better oils. Because of the mystery surrounding the fragrance industry, you might think that fragrances are the private property of the designers, but the courts have held that fragrance is something that belongs to nature and not to any individual. Therefore a fragrance cannot be patented or copyrighted, and a manufacturer cannot prevent someone else from matching or improving upon any aroma in whole or in part. Of course, the brand name of a designer fragrance can be copyrighted or registered and others may not use that name to their profit. That is why we are so careful to point out that we are not offering the originals - we call ours "Types" to make the difference clear. How do I use Perfume Oils? To apply perfume oil, just dab a bit on the backside of your hand (it mixes better there with your body chemistry) and then rub it on your neck, arms, and anywhere skin meets skin, etc. Perfume Oils never change, do not evaporate, and are inexpensive and versatile. Basically, perfume oils are what you purchase for yourself or for a gift when only the real thing will do. Why pay high-end prices, for fancy bottles, and a name? If quality is what you're really after, you'll love these, and never go back to alcohol ridden perfumes and colognes. After all, aren't you worth it? We think so! Below are some great uses for Perfume Oils (Other than wearing them) that customers have sent us. 1. Add a few drops to your bath water for a beautifully fragrant aroma. 2. Add a few drops to your ceiling fan blades to freshen up your home. 3. Add a few drops to a cotton ball and vacuum it up; it makes your house smell like your favorite fragrance! 4. Add a few drops to a cotton ball and place in an open container then place in your bathroom, closet, bedroom, anywhere! Perfume Oils totally out-last all the room fresheners you buy at retail stores! 5. Want to make your kitchen smell like you've been baking the most incredible treats all day long? Add a few drops to some simmering water on the stove! (think Pumpkin Pie Perfume Oil, Hot Fudge Nut Brownies Perfume Oil, and more!) What a great idea for the Holidays, too! 6. Add to your favorite unscented lotion. 7. Add to a few cotton balls in your dresser, your clothes will smell like your favorite fragrance. 8. Add few drops to a cotton ball and place in your dryer and your linens, bedding and clothing will be scented with your favorite fragrance. 9.

An Open Letter to the Teens in the Restored Church of God
By Dennis Diehl I realize an open letter to anyone for any reason usually does not reach the intended audience. But an open letter is an attempt to draw attention to something that is so profoundly wrong that attention still needs to be drawn to the topic. This is an open letter to the teens, AND adults who are affiliated with the Restored Church of God under the leadership of David C Pack in Wadsworth, Ohio. I am writing in response to the following article and associated commands to teens AND adults in RCG to refrain from blogging on the internet or having a personal website, unless strickly for business, as now being forbidden by RCG, according to this article. The intro to the article is as follows. This is from the Ambassador Youth Magazine, as written by Kevin D. Denee on behalf of the leadership of the Restored Church of God. "Blogs and God's Youth The blogosphere enables people to share daily journals, photographs and audioinstantly. But should teenagers and others in the Church express themselves to the world through blogs?" Obviously, from the intro kids, the answer is going to be "NO, you should not be blogging." It's going to take some time to get there, with typical warnings about pedophiles and giving up personal information to the web, which is wise, but this is just the intro to the real point. That point is summed up nicely near the end of the article and is the whole point of all that preceeded it, which I will also comment on for your own sakes. Here is the conclusion of the matter for teens, AND adults, so lets be clear, the article was not written just for teens after all and is a warning to ADULT church members to also avoid blogging and websites that are not approved by "the Church." "To teens and others," is code for "everyone had better be listening to me." Let's go right to the conclusion first. I'll let the author of the article speak for himself... "The Conclusionand Solution So what have we learned? Recall that a blog provider stated, with blogs there are no rules. This is obviously not true with God. He does have rules and guidelines, but not everything is spelled out in the Bible. We must take principles and consider the overall big picture. Should teenagers and others in the Church express themselves to the world through blogs? Because of the obvious dangers; the clear biblical principles that apply; the fact that it gives one a voice; that it is almost always idle words; that teens often do not think before they do; that it is acting out of boredom; and it is filled with appearances of evilblogging is simply not to be done in the Church. It should be clear that it is unnecessary and in fact dangerous on many levels. Let me emphasize that no oneincluding adultsshould have a blog or personal website (unless it is for legitimate business purposes). When this policy, now being instituted, was discussed with Mr. Pack and other Headquarters ministers, there was not a shadow of doubt in anyones mind that blogs are something youth should not be doing in any way. As has been said before, Jesus Christ and His Church have standards. Those who desire fewer standards should go to the splinters or to the world. When trying to justify something, teenagers will often narrow in to specific areas, and say, Well this particular thing isnt wrong! They will then use this as proof that the larger thing is okay. Do not allow yourself to think this way. Consider all the elements we have discussed. Blogging has become a socially accepted practicejust as are dating seriously too young, underage drinking and general misbehaving. But just because someone else jumps off the cliff does not mean you should do the same. Some questions naturally arise: Can I have a photo gallery? For example, maybe you visited an exotic country and want to share your photos with close friends. This can be done, but certain guidelines apply. Of course, there should never be any inappropriate pictures (again, be careful of the appearance of evil); it should be private and password protected, and only shown to family and closest friends. Is this article saying that every blog in the world is wrong? No, of course not! Again, there are some professionals and specialists who use blogs to serve a proper purpose."
Kevin D. Denee. Restored Church of God. Most of you have read the entire article or should. In the run up to the final decree that you are not to have blogs, or read blogs of others, or even have a website, as well as YOUR PARENTS, unless they are in a professional business, you were reminded that you are really out of line to even want a voice to begin with and that you having a personal voice is vanity. Your pastor has a personal voice all the time and subjects you to two and four hour sermons telling you that his voice is more important than your voice. Let's look at the article again. "But what does this have to do with blogs? The Internetand more specifically blogshas enabled everyone to have a voice on any matter. Now everyones thoughts are published for all to see. Whether or not it is effective, as soon as something is posted the person has a larger voice. It often makes the blogger feel good or makes him feel as if his opinion countswhen it is mostly mindless blather!... Ask yourself, Do I have a tendency to want to have a voice? ...The level of shallowness and emotional immaturity this represents is astonishing! In the grand scheme of things, why would the world at large care? People naturally want to make a mark in this world; they want to make a difference, and many believe blogs will allow them to do this. However, most blogs, especially by teenagers, serve as nothing more than public diaries. (Of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with a personal diary, as long as it is kept private.) Although certain professional weblogs can make a positive difference within some elements of society, teen blogging does not." So there you have it. You're voice is invalid, unimportant, shallow, makes no difference, one that no one wants to hear anyway and ultimately just blather. Ask your Pastor if he had a voice when he was a teen and would he be willing to extend to you the same rights he did have as he sought out what seemed to be truth for himself as a TEEN. The answer to the question, "Do I have a tendency to want to have a voice?" is not the same as asking you, though it is framed in such a way, as "Do you have a tendency to lie, cheat and steal?" The question is asked in such a way as to make you feel badly for saying "yes" even though yes is the only answer there is for most normal people. When your church or government get your voice, you have lost your freedom and your mind. You are being told that to have a personal voice, which means personal views, opinions and the ability to observe what is going on around you with a critical eye and thinking, is vanity. The article goes on to say... There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up (Prov. 30:12-13). If you post mundane details of your life, you are in effect saying that your life is important and that people should read about it. Also, whether or not you admit it, having a blog with your name, your picture and your opinions strokes the human egoit lifts you up. It essentially advertises the self! Many teenagers say, Listen to me, world, and what I have to say, when they should be focused on changing and cleaning up their lives. If you blog, are you sure you do not partially enjoy it because your carnal nature is inclined toward vanity?" The author is making it sound like you say you are researching porn but, in fact, he thinks you like it.
Please understand, that your church's website,you know, the most stupendous, largest and bestest on the whole planet, according to your Pastor, is a glorified blog of Mr. Pack's name, picture, opinions, ideas, interpretations and views too. No one man embodies truth, no matter what you have been led to believe. If you doubt it, go see how many sermons he allows others to post on the site or how many of the explanations of all the doctrines, beliefs and rules are left for others to write and define. So to blog is to be vain for teens. That is a lie. You are told that your words are idle, you only blog because you are bored and that you aren't smart enough to avoid the appearance of evil. Continuing... "Young people should spend time doing things that are productive. Our goal in life is to become a more effective personto get baptized into the Church and build holy, righteous godly character for the rest of ones life. But what does blogging ultimately achieve? Nothing! Some claim blogging is therapeutic. If that is the case then here is a classic example of someone therapeutically expressing himself: Im feeling sad againso many things I cant tell anyone and so many feelings I need to cope withdont even try to ask me why, and start telling me it will help if I let it out. I know it wont help. Trust me, telling will make me more troubled than I already am. but just ur listening/reading my [expletive] posts is enough to make me feel better. thanks Talking is therapeutic. It helps one clarify one's thoughts when no one else will listen. I did not speak up often enough in WCG because I did not want to let the people down by getting fired. I am sorry I did not speak up more. I also believed what I was being told, which proved to be a lie as well. I deeply regret this lack and fear on my own part. The reason we don't talk to real people in real time is because we perceive that they are not listening or will give us a very impractical an unhelpful answer to real problems. Phone calls are therapeutic. Letters are therapeutic. Talking face to face is therapeutic, and blogging can also be therapeutic. And yes, you have be wise about who you share with, but that's not the issue here. Most humans aren't as stupid as this article makes them out to be. Finding out that others feel and think as you do and that you are not "nuts" or "weird" or "off base" all the time, is very therapeutic. It is a wiseman in this day and age that has close friends and good counselors. It's the people who will not listen to any voices but the ones in their own heads that you have to be careful about. Just so you understand, your Church and Pastor now forbid you and your adult parents from blogging on the internet, having a blog of your own or having a personal website unless associated with a business. You need to understand that there are reasons behind these reasons such an obscene rule is being instituted. While blogging, like phone calling or letter writing or smokes signals can have a downside, there is more to this than meets the eye in your particular church. It is a way to control the flow of information, criticism and presenting views that are counter to those accepted by the Restored Church of God and it's leaders. The internet is the bane of those that abuse or seek to control and that includes our own government in this day and age. Soon you will hear something from the pulpit as ridulous as "We regret to inform the congregation and we do so with deep sadness, but Mr. and Mrs. so and so, and Johnny Teen has been disfellowshipped from the True Church for blogging and maintaining an unapproved website for their own selfish, egotistical and treading on thin ice reasons, against Church policy. We pray that God will cause them to repent of this electronic sin and for thinking that they can have a voice in this Church of God or the world in general or that they could say anything that would be or any remote interest to anyone." Banning you from blogging is no different from burning your books. Your church equates blogging with dating too young, underage drinking and pre-,marital sex. They tell you that just because others jump off a cliff, does not mean you should. How's that for good reasoning. If your friends shoot themselves, I am sure they would also advise you not to do the same. Good thing as they give this advice or, sure enough, you would all up and jump like lemmings into the sea. This "just because others..." thing has been a tool of parents forever and will be yours too someday! It's what we say when can't think of how to say it well. The bottom line is that you belong to a church that needs to control your intake of good information as well as what might be thought of as "bad" information. They also don't care what you think and don't want you expressing it to others. They don't want you discussing theology, Bible inerrancy, history, other points of view or truths that are more true than the ones you get fed every week in church. The sure don't want you discussing the points made in a previous sermon, even though that sermon has commands for you to follow that effect your life big time. Frankly, all churches fear the internet because information is scary to those that would have you believe you are getting all you need from just one true source. You are not. NO ONE on this planet has the right to tell you what you can read, who you can talk to, what topics you can share personally if you choose or how you choose to give or get that information. Our government is also trying like mad to keep the average American from questioning a lot of things that have gone on in the last five years, and before. Your motives for doing so are not as evil as this article makes them out to be and you are not as stupid as this article portrays the average teen these days. Everything you do needs to be done with wisdom, caution and discretion, but you will not learn how to do this if you are forbidden from taking the class. Religion and government has been trying to control the free flow of information since time began. It's how control, delusion and illusion is maintained. The people who make the rules about such things very often refuse to abide by the same rules for themselves. You will learn this as you grow up. No article in the history of RCG has ever been written...yet, that is so chillling as this one. I urge you to think long and hard about its implications to your learning and growing in the real truths that, believe it or not, are not the exclusive property of the one small church and Pastor you have just happened to find yourself in association with. I also want you to suspect other reasons for this being dictated to the teens, while adults were also thrown into the mix in a mere one line as well. Nothing in any Church, Government or Organization is as one is led to believe on the surface...NOTHING. To blog or not to blog is YOUR choice. To have or not to have a website for any reason, is YOUR choice and the choice of your ADULT parents. No church or man has the right to control your access to the free flow of friends, information, opinions or even bullshit. You'll never develope a BS Meter is you aren't exposed to it. I personally think you are more than you think. Even the proverbs say that it is no great thing to have a totally clean barn, with no cow pies on the floor, as it might indicate you have no animals to oversee on your great farm. Remember, fish can't live in pure water. It destroys their immune systems and is an unreal environment in which to thrive as a fish. Are you not better than a fish...oh ye of little faith? Much knowledge might bring much suffering but no knowledge brings unnecessary fear, guilt, shame and pure misery. Stand up for yourself. Tell your church to mind its own business and not yours. PS How'd the author know a teen girl in "a splinter group" used to work at Hooters? :) Amen...

This "just because others..." thing has been a tool of parents forever and will be yours too someday! It's what we say when can't think of how to say it well. The bottom line is that you belong to a church that needs to control your intake of good information as well as what might be thought of as "bad" information. They also don't care what you think and don't want you expressing it to others. They don't want you discussing theology, Bible inerrancy, history, other points of view or truths that are more true than the ones you get fed every week in church. The sure don't want you discussing the points made in a previous sermon, even though that sermon has commands for you to follow that effect your life big time. Frankly, all churches fear the internet because information is scary to those that would have you believe you are getting all you need from just one true source. You are not. NO ONE on this planet has the right to tell you what you can read, who you can talk to, what topics you can share personally if you choose or how you choose to give or get that information. Our government is also trying like mad to keep the average American from questioning a lot of things that have gone on in the last five years, and before. Your motives for doing so are not as evil as this article makes them out to be and you are not as stupid as this article portrays the average teen these days. Everything you do needs to be done with wisdom, caution and discretion, but you will not learn how to do this if you are forbidden from taking the class. Religion and government has been trying to control the free flow of information since time began. It's how control, delusion and illusion is maintained. The people who make the rules about such things very often refuse to abide by the same rules for themselves. You will learn this as you grow up. No article in the history of RCG has ever been written...yet, that is so chillling as this one. I urge you to think long and hard about its implications to your learning and growing in the real truths that, believe it or not, are not the exclusive property of the one small church and Pastor you have just happened to find yourself in association with. I also want you to suspect other reasons for this being dictated to the teens, while adults were also thrown into the mix in a mere one line as well. Nothing in any Church, Government or Organization is as one is led to believe on the surface...NOTHING. To blog or not to blog is YOUR choice. To have or not to have a website for any reason, is YOUR choice and the choice of your ADULT parents. No church or man has the right to control your access to the free flow of friends, information, opinions or even bullshit. You'll never develope a BS Meter is you aren't exposed to it. I personally think you are more than you think. Even the proverbs say that it is no great thing to have a totally clean barn, with no cow pies on the floor, as it might indicate you have no animals to oversee on your great farm. Remember, fish can't live in pure water. It destroys their immune systems and is an unreal environment in which to thrive as a fish. Are you not better than a fish...oh ye of little faith? Much knowledge might bring much suffering but no knowledge brings unnecessary fear, guilt, shame and pure misery. Stand up for yourself. Tell your church to mind its own business and not yours. PS How'd the author know a teen girl in "a splinter group" used to work at Hooters? :) Amen...

Keeping The Faith
By Linda Dipman Two weeks ago my daughter, Christy, and I were having a conversation. She stated that most girls have the kind of mom who share a spa day with them, who invite them to go get their nails done together or try out a new hairstyle. We both laughed at her words, because I was opposite from this kind of mom. In fact, my daughter ended the conversation with the statement, "Instead I get a mom who wants to save the world. And on top of it you dragged me into doing it too!" I don't know what I would do without my daughter, I trust her completely. She edited my book. She edits every article I write and of course made some of the article writing hers. "Haunted Typewriter or God" and "The Key To The World Is Love" were her titles. She is also constructing my website: lovinghandsministry.com Christy has three children. Samuel is always reminding me that he is going to be four very soon. Paige just turned 2 and Sofia is 6 months. All are very energetic and Christy must give up sleep in order to work for me. Her faith in God is great and she endeavors to teach her children the same principles. She is all about living a Christian life and being a faithful and loving wife to her husband and a loving and good mom to her children. I tell her all the time that she comes from a long line of great Christian mothers. You would never believe that Christy had ever experienced anything but good in her lifetime. Most people believe that you can't be so grounded and be such a good person if something bad has ever happened to you. You just had to have lived a charmed life! The common phrase we always hear is 'bad things always happen to bad people'. Yet what people think is truth is often a lie. The real truth is that bad things happen to good people because our world is under the rule of Satan. John 5:19, "We know that we belong to God even though the whole world is under the rule of the Evil One." When Christy was five and attending kindergarten the worse possible thing happened in her life. Her parents divorced and she and her brothers became the ponds in a huge custody battle. I suppose this custody fight wouldn't have been so traumatic if it weren't for the fact that our family was so religious. Her dad was an ordained deacon and his father was a Baptist minister. My own sister and her husband were in full time ministry and I our family came from a long line of ministers and missionaries. Everything Christy was ever taught was about obeying God and serving in church. You see in 1986 divorce was a very big sin! Yet there is a sin that is bigger than divorce and that is the sin of being gay! I would go as far as to say that for the church it is even bigger than murder! Churches preach that homosexuality is wrong! Using Sodom and Gomorrah as a story illustrating God's hatred of gays. But they quietly leave out scripture that leaves out the real reason for the destruction of these cities. 2 Peter 2:6, "God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, destroying them with fire, and made them an example of what will happen to the godless." The scripture specifically states that it was not about sexual sin, but about godlessness. Never the less churches, families, and society throw out their gay family members because the churches skip these scriptures. Because Theologians and religious historians refuse to set the record straight, homosexuals are deprived of their children and denied justice in the courts. They are humiliated, persecuted, killed and despised all in the name of God. Ezekiel 16:48-50, "As surely as I am the living God, the Sovereign Lord says, 'your sister Sodom and her villages never did the evil that you and your villages have done. She and her daughters were proud because they had plenty to eat and lived in peace and quiet, but they did not take care of the poor and the underprivileged. They were proud stubborn and did the things that I hate, so I destroyed them, as you well know.'" They say, love the sinner but hate the sin. But Christy can tell you that this is not true! You can not love what you hate. It is like telling Satan that he has to love God and we all know how impossible that would be! Because people have been misled by the church, everything I did as a good Christian mother was counteracted by me falling in love with a woman. It didn't matter how much I loved my children or how diligent I was in teaching them about God and doing service in my church. Because of false teachings, a huge tug-of-war began not just between husband and wife, but with husband, church, family, friends and society all against me. A battle that was so tipped in favor of her dad that Christy struggled to love me regardless of what they said about me. In fact, Christy and her brothers became so entangled in the fight for who had the right to be custodial parent that you would have thought that they would have never had anything to do with God ever! Because God was the reason they were not to love their mother. They were told they couldn't love me because I was living a life of sin. They were confused by strangers who told them how unlucky they were to have a mom who had fallen from God's grace and chose to live an ungodly lifestyle. From church to school to the small town they lived in, they were constantly the center of unwanted attention because of their Satan possessed mother. Christy didn't want this kind of attention! She just wanted her mom. She didn't care what the church had to say, she just wanted to live with her mom. She didn't understand why everyone was in such an uproar, because she saw me as the same mom who loved her and had taken care of her since birth. So you can see that her childhood was not peaceful. She was taken away from her mom and given to her dad. I was given no visitation and as a result I fled with my children and was arrested and put in jail while Christy endured being put in the hands of the SRS. Christy saw her mother attacked by her father, while the pastor and a deacon watched. She saw her mother being stalked by church members in the name of God. She saw her grandparents turn their back on her mother and wish her dead. She was forced into counseling as a small child. She was forced to go before a judge and tell him who she wanted to live with. Even after she stated she wanted to live with her mom, the judge ignored her words. Time and again she was involved in one court proceeding after another while her testimony to live with her mother was disregarded. Whenever visitation resumed with her mother she was interrogated by her father, councilors, and family. It is amazing today from the persecution my daughter endured from church, society and family members that she came through fifteen years of childhood holding onto her faith regardless of whether her prayers were answered or not. It took until my daughter was an adult and able to make up her own mind that she began to see the mother that I really was. A mother who loved her and wanted the best for her and her family. Today our bond is strong because of our mission to tell the world the truth about God and love!

This is why you should try and get a warranty for your lawn mower, even an extended warranty when you are just buying it, to save yourself the trouble. If you still own an older lawn mower you will know that repairing it can be a little complicated too, you will need to examine the mower to find what part it is that broke down, this is usually down by slowly eliminating the different parts that fail in your mower, this is a very time consuming job, but sometimes fun.

When you store it keep it covered and in case there are any special instructions for the use of the batteries follow them, especially if you do not intend on using the mower in the near future. In the bottom line good maintenance and care will save you a lot of problems in the future and make your life easier, when buying a new mower you should think about getting a warranty and sometimes even think about getting a yearly renewal of that warranty, simply to keep you from thinking about how you need to fix your mower.
