Sole Reason for Destination Weddings Thought To Be Sentimentality

August 21st, 2008 by Eric Slarkowski

by Eric Slarkowski

The dress is no longer the sole concern of many a bride! Instead, the destinations which may serve as the backdrop for the perfect wedding also now rank very high among the items which concern brides ? and grooms alike ? and which now also receive almost as much, if not more, attention than even the dresses and color schemes!

This trend has given rise to a genre in the wedding business known as destination weddings. Known to celebrities for a long time, the average American is now taking advantage of the fact that the Irish Blarney stone, a moss covered castle in jolly old England, or the Escorial outside of Madrid makes for a wonderful wedding destination! Sure, celebrities have a lot more money to spend on their nuptial excursions and it is not surprising that while many couples would love to explore foreign destinations for their marriage celebrations, the budget attached to such outings make them prohibitive for the majority.

Fortunately there are a wide variety of local destinations that lend themselves as backdrops for the perfect wedding. Taking the wedding party either just out of town or maybe simply down the road, there is now the opportunity for any budget to experience a destination wedding! Wedding planners quite frequently have established ties with venues that are in high demand by those ready to say their vows, and therefore even the budget conscious will find that something is in store for them.

Cruise lines are coming on board with the idea and it is not unusual to find that an onboard wedding package not only includes the wedding itself but may even be combined with a competitively priced honeymoon package which will make the boat a one stop wedding experience.

Those who do take their wedding on the road will find that the destinations of choice not only provide the location for their marriage but also activities for the reception and the days that follow. When you consider that the size of the guest list at a destination wedding is usually much smaller than that at a local wedding, many couples will include their traveling guests in many of the onsite activities they will pursue.

The rationale behind those opting for a destination wedding as their sole choice most frequently revolves around a memorable occasion, such as the location of their first kiss, the place of the wedding proposal or engagement poems, or maybe to commemorate the first date. Yet some simply appreciate the idea that they will already find themselves at the location of their honeymoon and therefore the stress of travel and the necessity to entertain a large number of guests is noticeably declined. It is wise to consult with an experienced wedding planner who will make all of the onsite arrangements and thus once again limit the anxieties with which you will have to deal.

Bottled Water Impacts The Environment

August 21st, 2008 by Marlene Affeld

by Marlene Affeld

Do you desire to live in a way that protects our childrens future? Do you choose to live in the greenest world possible with a conscience, respect and appreciation for the environment?

The majority of Americans have a strong sense of environmental and social responsibility. We endeavor to make environmentally beneficial choices in many aspects of our daily living, yet we ignore one of the major contributors to the plight of the planet.

Worldwide in excess of one billion people do not have an uncontaminated source of clean drinking water, this is in excess of 1/6 of the world population, yet we, as Americans, spend billions of dollars yearly for the convenience of drinking from a plastic bottle instead of a water tap. Shame on us.

1.5 million tons of plastic are consumed to bottle water annually. It takes in excess of 25 times the amount of water to make each plastic bottle than the bottle contains. 300 million gallons of bottled water are imported to the United States yearly. This is unacceptable waste.

Often, in America bottled water is simply an indulgence. Despite our rationalizations, it is not a harmless indulgence. Bottled water is an environmental disaster. Thirty years ago bottled water hardly survived as a business in the United States. We Americans now spend more on “designer” bottled water than we spend on iPods or movie tickets - $15 billion in 2007. The expected United States expenditure for bottled water will be $16 billion a year before the end of the decade.

As a nation we drink more than 30 billion single-serving bottles of water per year. Bottled water is the fastest growing beverage industry in the world, valued at $22 billion a year. Less than 15% of plastic bottles are recycled, the rest end up in the waste system and cost America’s major cities in excess of 70 million per year to handle processing and landfill expenditures. America yearly produces in excess of 800,000 tons of plastic bottle pollution that substantially magnifies global warming.

Last year, Americans threw away 38 billion plastic water bottles, about $1 billion worth of plastic. That’s an overwhelming waste, especially considering 1.5 million barrels of oil - enough to power 100,000 cars for a year - were consumed to manufacture these bottles. And that’s not even including the oil and gas required for shipping and delivering this massive volume of liquid.

If you are spending money on bottled water, you are basically purchasing plastic, which is manufactured from petroleum. When we purchase a bottle of water, what we’re often purchasing is the bottle its self. One of the essential problems with bottled water production is the reliance on fossil fuels. From packaging to transportation, bottled water relies on oil, using 17 million barrels of oil and producing massive amounts of carbon dioxide every year.

In the United States alone, we are hauling 1 billion liters of water around a week in trains, trucks, railcars and ships. That adds up to a weekly giant convoy equivalent to 37,800 18-wheelers. Water weighs over 8 pounds a gallon. Water is so very heavy you cannot fill an 18 wheeler with bottled water, you have to allow empty space.

There is an simple earth friendly solution. Tap water is considerably less expensive. As an investigative reporter for the NY Times points out, almost all municipal water in America is so good that nobody needs to import a single bottle from Italy or France or the Fiji Islands.

Pure and safe drinking water should be public, accessible and affordable. The more the wealthy opt out of drinking tap water, the less active political support there will be for investing in developing and maintaining America’s public water supply. That would be a grievous loss.

Access to inexpensive, pure water is basic to a nation’s health. In Fiji, a state-of-the-art factory spins out more than a million bottles a day of the hippest bottled water on the U.S. market, while more than half the people in Fiji do not have a pure or dependable source of drinking water. This means it is easier for the average American in Los Angeles or New York to quench their thirst with refreshing Fiji water than it is for the majority of people in Fiji.

Should you elect to get your suggested eight to ten glasses a day from bottled water, you may spend up to $1,500 or more every year. An equal amount of tap water would cost pennies a day. Recent studies show that many brands of bottled water fail to meet industry guidelines and the cost of even poor quality bottled water can grow quite high.

A lot of bottled water is just plain tap water. Many bottled water businesses repackage tap water into plastic bottles, then sell them back to you at prices higher than gas and increasing just as rapidly. Aquafina, as an example, has finally been pressured into amending its labels to advise consumers that Aquafina water comes from tap water. Why not just drink tap water? In fact, more than a quarter of bottled water is just processed tap water.

Plastic containers leach dangerous chemicals. Have you considered why your plastic bottle of water has a warning on the label telling you not to reuse it? The longer you use that bottle, the more likely it is to leach hazarous chemicals into your water.

There is a to solve the dilemma. If you are unsure of your local water supply or wish to easily filter tap water when on the go, carbon-filtered tap water is safer and costs much less than bottled water. As reported by the Environmental Working Group, carbon filtration of tap water will dramatically lower levels of toxic by products; it is also 10 to 20 times less expensive than bottled water, and does not produce the waste and pollution associated with the packaging and transport of bottled water.

A portable water filter is a perfect solution for water filtration on the go. A portable water filter allows anyone to filter their own water, no matter where they travel; across town or around the world. A portable water filter allows you to free yourself from any unpleasant taste, additives or contaminates while protecting the environment and your pocketbook. Get the whole family involved. A five member family could save well over $7,500.00 a year.

Stop being unwitting victims of manipulative advertising. When a entire industry is built up by overwhelming us with a product we do not need, when an entire industry is based on packaging and presentation, not the product, it is worth asking how that happened and what the future impact is upon our precious planet.

Teeth Stains and what to do about it

August 20th, 2008 by Chris Channing

by Chris Channing

Stained teeth are a cosmetic flaw, and anyone you meet will notice. This is why the popularity of teeth whitening has increased drastically in the 21st century. For many people, it’s a common yearly procedure that takes out a considerable amount of cash. Many companies place importance on having white teeth for presentation purposes.

Teeth whitening methods are expanding every day. There are some that are much more beneficial than others, and some you should never try. Bleaching probably isn’t the best way to go, because it can really damage the surface of your teeth, and irritate your gums. Bleach, hydrogen peroxide, strips, trays, and whitening toothpastes are all available to make your smile whiter. Overuse will damage teeth in the long run, however.

The benefits of teeth whitening are obvious, and there are very few downsides that go with it. Whitening your teeth allows for a cleaner appearance, and a more desirable smile. When you smile at a new acquaintance, or an old friend, they will notice. Significant changes can be obtained in an office, and rather quickly too. Doctors also offer take home whitening kits, that stay on for an hour or longer. These are cheaper than an in office treatment, and cost about $100-$400 per treatment. At home over the counter treatments are effective as well, usually lasting a few months if you use proper measures to keep your teeth white. They are by far the cheapest method, and only cost $20-$100 per treatment.

Enamel stains occur deep in the enamel, and is caused by many different factors. Smokers generally have a dark yellow to brown color on their teeth, and black residue builds behind them. Chronic coffee addicts will notice a slightly yellowish tint, and soda drinks will notice dull and yellowish teeth as well. After whitening it is crucial to maintain your new white smile, by following specific instructions given by your doctor.

Keeping your smile bright is almost as fun as getting your teeth pulled. It requires a lot of restrictions from dark foods and liquids, not to mention a completely new oral hygiene regimen. Many doctors recommend toothpaste with peroxide and baking soda, and enamel brightening mouthwashes. In about a week you should be able to bring those things back into your diet, but your results will last longer if you avoid them all together.

Closing Comments

Overall, whitening your teeth is a great way to update your look, and keep your smile looking healthy. Risks and side effects are few and far between, but are still possible. They include having sensitivity temporarily, irritation, and different shaded teeth. This shouldn’t stop you from trying to achieve the perfect white smile, because the end result is so worth it!

Expose The Myths Which Surround Acne

August 20th, 2008 by Donald Saunders

by Donald Saunders

As with many conditions there is a lot of information out there about acne and its causes and that information tends to be a mixture of both fiction and fact. Accordingly, let us look at some of those things that are being said and see if we can divide the fact from the fiction.

Diet

First of all there is no direct connection between eating such things as greasy hamburgers and chocolate or drinking too many soft drinks and developing acne spots. It is the case however that diet plays an important role in the way the body functions and therefore it does have a minor role to play in whether acne is more or less likely.

For example, greasy foods do not directly turn into increased oil production from the sebaceous glands which adds to acne, but foods which do increase the oil production would of course have an effect. However, iodized salt is as yet the only food which has been shown to have any real effect and it just worsens acne but does not cause it.

Cleanliness

The odds of developing a pimple are increased when a pore gets plugged and bacteria get trapped inside. This means that hygiene habits which tend to close the pores can play a role. However this effect is only small and the bacteria and dead cell skins which become trapped and are unable to work their way out of the pore are influenced only to a small degree by insufficient regular face washing.

But, after acne occurs good skin hygiene is especially important and mild cleansing two times each day with soap and water helps in treating acne and encouraging healthy skin in general. Good hygiene is a good idea for a number of reasons but it is most helpful in treating acne because it provides a good surface allowing medications to work most effectively.

Acne spots are greatly influenced by excess skin oil (sebum) production which is triggered chiefly by hormones and abrasive cleansers which are applied roughly do not only clear away this excess oil but also weakens the skin’s ability to cope with it.

Stress

As stress tends to weaken the body’s immune system and also influence its hormone levels it may be thought that stress would play a role in the onset of acne. However, there is no evidence that stress causes acne, although there is some evidence to suggest that it might play a minor role after acne has developed.

One of the problems in assessing the role of stress is that people who are suffering from chronic stress normally also suffer from additional health problems that complicate the picture. Do not forget also that here we are talking about clinical stress and not simply the worries that we all experience as part of the ups and downs of day to day living.

Medications

Many us are tempted to raise the dosage of an over-the-counter medication believing that if a little can do a bit of good a lot of medicine will do a lot of good. Unhappily, this is not so and it is both a waste of medication and could actually harm the skin. You should always follow the instructions on any medication and if an over-the-counter medication is not showing signs of working within a reasonable period of time then it is a good idea to consult a dermatologist.

Mysterious Gleaming Gold

August 19th, 2008 by Marlene Affeld

by Marlene Affeld

Since the beginning of civilization, raw gold with its radiant sun yellow coloration and metallic luster has captivated and fascinated mankind. The unusual gleam of gold attracts the eye, enabling the seeker to detect the smallest of grains in an aggregate of many other materials. The most minute flakes are easily detected.

Scientific explorations of Stone Age burial mounds report that gold was the first element gathered and prized by man. This unusual metal, gathered in the form of nuggets, seems to have been highly prized but was not used in practical applications. With a rating 2.5 ? 3 on Mohs scale of hardness, gold was much too pliable to be hammered into useable weapons or tools. Gold carried little value for prehistoric man except to be admired and treasured for its rare, intrinsic beauty.

However, as man developed he soon discovered numerous applications for the mysterious golden metal. The earliest record of gold exploration dates to Egypt around 2000 B.C. Ancient records tell of an enormous alluvial gold deposit in Nubia, between the Nile River and the Red Sea in southeastern Egypt. This incredible discovery encompassed over one hundred square miles. Using the most primitive of tools and working to an average depth of less than six feet, these first miners pried an estimated one thousand tons of gold from this rich discovery. Egyptian artisans, recognizing the extraordinary malleability of gold fashioned incredible jewelry, ornaments and idols of breathtaking beauty.

Throughout history, gold, has been prized not only for its beauty but for golds ability to withstand the rigors of time. No substance that appears commonly in nature will destroy gold. Unaffected by air, moisture, heat or cold, this noble metal will not tarnish, corrode, rust or tarnish. Shimmering gold flakes, nuggets of placer gold and brilliant vein occurrences have survived over 4.5 Billion years of cataclysmic geologic and climate changes; volcanic eruption, earthquakes, upheavals and deposition. Treasures of golden jewelry, bullion and coins, buried for thousands of years beneath land and sea have been found intact; as brilliant as the day they were abandoned. A relatively rare native metallic element, gold ranks fifty-eighth in abundance amongst the ninety two natural elements that compose the earths crust. Considered a rare element, of all metals gold is, with the exception of iron, the most widely distributed over the planet. Gold has been discovered on 90 per cent of the earths surface and is mined in high mountain ranges, in the deeply weathered soil of the tropics, harsh deserts and in the permanently frozen soil of the Arctic.

Gold is commercially excavated on all the continents with the exception of Antarctica. The richest gold producing area of the world is the Witwatersrand District of South Africa. This rich area has produced more than eighteen thousand tons of gold with no reduction in sight. Additional notable gold bearing areas around the globe are Siberia in the former USSR, the Porcupine District in Ontario, Canada and in the United States the Yukon District of Alaska and the famous Mother Lode District in California.

Within the United States nature was extremely generous. Thirty-two states have recorded substantial gold production. The highest volume areas are located within the western states, California, Colorado, Alaska, Nevada and South Dakota. Other abundant locations for prospecting include New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Wyoming, New Mexico, Washington, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Georgia and Arkansas. A gold prospector can find gold in his pan in practically every state of the union.

Gold is an ideal media for craftsmen. It is a metal that can be deformed by pounding without breaking or crumbling. Gold, in its pure form is the most malleable or workable of all metals. One single ounce of gold can be drawn and stretched into an ultra fine wire over 50 miles in length without breaking or pounded to the amazing thinness of one hundred thousandth of an inch without disintegrating. Gold is easily carved, readily buffs to a gleaming polish, can be heated repeatedly without discoloration and joins to itself or other metals by soldering without the need for a bonding flux.

For more than 6000 years gold has been considered symbolic of wealth, power and status. In 1350 B.C. the Egyptian boy king, Tutankhem, was interred in a coffin elaborately cast from 242 pounds of solid gold. Throughout history men and women have adorned their bodies with brilliant, gleaming gold. The custom of exchanging gold during marriage ceremonies continues today.

The nobility of Medieval Europe liberally sprinkled gold in the form of dust, flake or leaves on their food to demonstrate the hosts great wealth. Today gold is still often used in food and has the E Number 175. However, since metallic gold is inert to all body chemistry, it adds no taste nor has any other nutritional effect and leaves the body unaltered.

Early man believed gold held a hidden, internal fire, a gift from the Gods with mysterious healing and magical powers. Numerous cultures of sun worshippers revered gold as the tangible essence of their God; solid sunshine. In modern day Japan believers seek golds medicinal magic by submersion in a bath tub designed in the form of a phoenix crafted from 400 pounds of pure gold. Health and gold have been entwined in the wondrous belief that something so beautiful and rare could not be anything but healthy and healing and magical.

Modern esotericists and forms of alternative medicine embrace the healing properties of gold. Some gold salts have anti inflammatory properties and are used as pharmaceuticals in the therapy and treatment of arthritis and other similar conditions. However, only salts and radioisotopes of gold are of medical value, elemental or metallic gold is inert to all chemicals it encounters within the body.

Gold is viewed as a storehouse of value, the natural way for mankind to preserve capital and guard against financial uncertainty or monetary collapse. In modern times gold has served as a hedge against the threat of inflation and as a secure and safe way to secret away assets. Hoarding of gold occurs most often during times of war, adverse world conditions and international fears of economic instability. Gold has repeatedly conquered the attempts of regimes to inflate the currency of their country as well as circumventing the goals of those controling political power to command the economy of other nations.

Throughout recorded time, gold, the king of metals, has been called the ultimate monetary exchange. Gold is the only tender that isnt someone elses responsibility or liability; it is more that just a sometimes worthless paper promise to pay upon demand. Gold does not rely on the economic stability of any country, financial cartel or political power. Gold finds its value in and of itself.

The current world price of gold is established daily by the London Gold Market which trades gold bullion and coins with other financial world centers such as Zurich, Hong Kong, Frankfurt and Paris. The price is based on pure or fine gold, therefore the value of gold gleaned in its natural state may vary depending on the impurities it contains. However, raw gold sold as specimens or jewelry will always bring a considerably higher price. Gold nuggets are as distinctively different as snowflakes, although similar, no two nuggets are alike. A nugget of unique character and shape may sell for as much as five times its value by weight.

Do you have broken or discarded gold jewelry you no longer wear? Now may be the time to cash in on the current gold rush. With the price of gold exceeding the $1000 an ounce benchmark, an errant earring or broken gold chain could add up to a significant sum.

To receive the best price for gold you may wish to sell, know the karat count. Because of the softness of pure 24k gold, it is usually alloyed with base metals for use in jewelry, altering its hardness, color, melting point and ductility. Alloys with lower karatage, typically 22k, 18k, 14k or 10k, contain higher percentages of silver, copper or other base metals in the alloy. The higher the karat the more you should expect to be paid.

If you only have a few items to sell, try a local jeweler or take a vintage piece to an antique jeweler. They will take the artists skill into consideration and you will net a much larger price than for just the gold weight alone.

Is Colon Cancer Caused By Bad Diet Habits?

August 18th, 2008 by Richard H Ealom

by Richard H Ealom

INTRODUCTION: Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine which is the lower part of your digestive system. It is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and is the leader of cancer deaths among non-smokers.

It is, in nearly all cases, a treatable disease when it is caught early. The truth is when colon cancer is caught early, it has a 95% survival rate. It may be nutritionally based. For example, the occurence of colon cancer is much higher in North America than in China, but the Chinese who migrate to North America gain a higher incidence.

EARLY: Most colon cancers are predictable when diagnosed early. The fact is, screening prevents more deaths due to early detection than breast or prostate cancer screening. Other research is looking into multiple genes involvement in colon cancer and also at improving screening procedures so more cancers can be detected sooner.

This includes checking for markers in blood, stool or urine that might provide an easier screening procedure for detecting early signs of colon cancer. In general, when treatment begins at an early stage, greater than 90% of patients survive at least 5 yrs after their diagnosis. However, only about 39 percent of colon cancer is found at an early stage.

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms tend to vary depending on the position or site of the cancer within the colon or rectum, though there may not be any symptoms at all. Symptoms of colorectal cancer can include intense abdominal pain, bloody stools or rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, or major changes in bowel habits (recurring constipation or diarrhea).

In fact, the most common sign is no signs at all, says Emina Huang, MD. But once these symptoms start to develop, it may be a signal of more advanced disease. Fully half of people diagnosed after symptoms start will die. Finding colon cancer before symptoms develop greatly improves the chance of survival.

CONCLUSION: There is no question that the earlier the cancer is found, the more likely the patient can be cured with surgery. Although the cause is yet unknown, there is evidence that the majority of these cancers arise from polyps (benign intestinal tumors).

It has been well demonstrated that if colon cancer is caught in the earliest stages, the cure rate could be increased to 90%.

Getting an ideal weight for your child.

August 17th, 2008 by Joel Riley

by Joel Riley

Arriving at an ideal weight for a child can be complicated sometimes. Adults use the Body Mass Index to measure their ideal weight. But for children, this is not the case. Their ideal weight are calculated on length for age and weight for age percentile charts.

If your child weighs more than children in the 95th percentile, he or she is considered overweight. Above the 85th percentile and your child is considered to be at risk of becoming overweight.

Growth Charts for comparison for those kids aged 2 to 20 months can be viewed at www.cdc.gov/growthcharts

It’s important to remember that this is just a general guideline.You shouldn’t become too obsessed with making your child’s weight fit into a specific category. Instead, worry about his or her overall health.

Our lifestyle has a great influence on our children weight as well. Unhealthy eating habits will definitely result in your child falling into the 85th percentile weight range. But to be sure , consult your pediatrician first before you determine that he or she is overweight.

It’s important to help your child maintain a healthy weight because that will contribute to a healthy adult weight. However, it’s also important that you take things in moderation. Constantly weighing your child and becoming fanatical about keeping his weight on target can do more harm than good.

You ought to use a little common sense when its come to your children weight. Just be a good role model and teach your child to exercise regularly then provide them with a nutritious diet. A healthy lifestyle is still the best way of avoiding weight problems.

You can’t expect for your child to change her lifestyle while you keep the same unhealthy one. When you work to keep the whole family healthy, your child will be more likely to have a healthy weight.
