Cholesterol and Lowering HDL

Good health has always been a subject of great concern for everyone. We always talk about exercise, living a healthy lifestyle and eating healthy. But it was not always like this.

Decades ago, the concept of health was quite different from how we perceive it right now. Yes, the value of exercise was still very much mentioned but the concept of “healthy eating” was vastly different. As late as the 1960s, the tenets that surround healthy eating was quite different from what it is now. Just look at the popular media in those days. The Brady matriarch Marcia Brady would constantly feed her family red meat, specifically beef, in her belief that meat ensures that her kids need red meat to grow up healthy.

Fast forward to the present and the what use View the rest of this article


Hi-Yo, Silver Fund!

"Stay long precious metals" ...

I'm beginning to think that's Graeme Irvine's mantra.

He's the business columnist on Longer Life's Bourse page, and I'll leave it to you to discover his reasons for this four-word chant. Amidst Graeme's siren calls, I've taken notice of his recent daily listings of silver transfers. It seems that HSBC-Hong Kong is in the process of accumulating a substantially high percentage of the current market inventory. The range is something like 60%, an achievement I find as breathtaking as it is intriguing.

Why would that much of the world's investment-grade silver be moved to one depository? So far, I've not been able to find anyone willing to provide an answer. The accumulation is public knowledge, so I'm not suspec View the rest of this article

10 Ways To Stimulate Employee Motivation

Today?s fast-moving business environment demands that the effective manager be both a well-organized administrator and highly adept in understanding people?s basic needs and behaviour in the workplace. Gaining commitment, nurturing talent, and ensuring employee motivation and productivity require open communication and trust between managers and staff.
1. Understand their behaviour
People at work naturally tend to adopt instinctive modes of behaviour that are self-protective rather than open and collaborative. This explains why emotion is a strong force in the workplace and why management often reacts violently to criticisms and usually seeks to control rather than take risks. So, in order to eliminate this kind of perspective and to increase employee motivat View the rest of this article

Improving Self-Esteem With A Little TLC

It is so important to take time to do nice things for ourselves. Especially for those of us who spend much of our time helping and caring for others, it is too easy to neglect ourselves and become worn out, stressed out and run down.
Self-pampering is not about being selfish. It's about taking proper care of yourself and treating yourself as kindly as you treat others. We spend so much time and effort caring for our spouses, children, pets, friends, family members, employers and employees. Add to that numerous volunteer activities, errands, housework, family functions, meetings, etc. - and there isn't much time left for caring for ourselves.
We need to make caring for ourselves a priority, otherwise we will continue to put it off. Set an appointment with your View the rest of this article


Could The New Google Spider Be Causing Issues With Websites?

Around the time Google announced "Big Daddy," there was a new Googlebot roaming the web. Since then I've heard stories from clients of websites and servers going down and previously unindexed content getting indexed.
I started digging into this and you'd be surprised at what I found out.
First, let's look at the timeline of events:
In Late September some astute spider watchers over at Webmasterworld spotted unique Googlebot activity. In fact, it was in this thread: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/25897-9-10.htm that the bot was first reported on.

How To Use Sponsor Ads To Increase Website Traffic

How many times have you surfed the Internet and noticed that most e-zines and websites have advertisements posted all around its pages? Flashing ads that are popping up and blocking your view are often hard to get rid of. Even some search engines and directories carry sponsor ads. Sometimes those sponsor ads can get in the way, but sometimes the ad appears too tempting not to check. If it was not for those sponsor ads, you might not have realized a specific business or website existed.
The two primary goals of sponsor ads are to increase awareness of a product, brand, or business and to enhance the image of the business or brand. These goals are very important to the success of small businesses and their websites. In order to strive, small businesses need to spre View the rest of this article

Health By Chocolate: Why Dark Chocolate May Be Good For You

It's that time of year when giving and indulging in the sweetness of sweets (especially with your sweetie) is seen as perfectly acceptable.
But, new research shows that there are more reasons than ever to NOT avoid or deny your chocolate cravings all year long.
According to some studies done in Italy, dark chocolate has many of the same benefits as vitamin C helping the body use insulin more effectively and lower blood pressure.
The research examined two out of three chocolate varieties, dark chocolate and white chocolate. Dark chocolate is made up of cocoa solids and sugar but no milk solids (prevalent in milk chocolate) and white chocolate, although referred to as chocolate had no cocoa solids, but instead is made of cocoa butter (the fat in chocolate), View the rest of this article


How To Reduce Perspiration Stop Excessive Sweating

It is a known fact that overweight and obese people are more prone to excessive sweating as they perspire more. However, excessive perspiration can be also due to several underlying medical conditions such as menopause, psychiatric illnesses and very active thyroid glands. Excessive sweating is also known to occur to people with no known medical condition and thus the cause of heavy sweating for this group of people is unknown.
It is very distressing to suffer from over sweating and many people with this condition also suffer from low self esteem. This is because excessive sweating may cause them to have undesirable body odor, looking unkempt and dirty.
It is easier for those who are overweight to reduce excessive perspiration since it is just a matter of red View the rest of this article


Children And Halitosis, Bad Breath

Children can have bad breath just as easily as their parents. When the Webmaster of badbreathgone.com asked me to write an article on halitosis (bad breath) and children, my first thought was, ?Great, a no brainer!? As an RN and mother who also works in close contact with children in a daycare, I?ve got plenty of good insight into halitosis in our little ones.
When you smell the breath of a healthy child it smells fresh and clean. If it doesn?t, then use this checklist of the most probable causes of the halitosis/bad breath:
1. Dehydration.(which is more common than most people suspect)
2. Overeating and consequent poor digestion.
3. Eating food that promotes yeast/ candida.
4. Incipient or undiagnosed illness/ infection, low immune system.

Dxinone System: Is This The Biggest Scam Ever Invented?

Is the dxinone system the biggest scam invented? These are the questions some people ask themselves before they get started on ecurrency exchange.
The system by itself is rather complex to learn, you have to open several accounts, and once you do you have to manage your investment properly so you always maximize your profits. This is the main reason why some people claim the system is a scam, they don't know how it works.
Me, personally, I laugh whenever I hear about people saying some of the things they do.

Finding keywords - for Adwords Publishers.

If you advertise with adwords you have probably realised that with recent changes to their system, the crowd at google have made it very difficult to maintain a profitable adwords campaign. This applies to those promoting other peoples products or their own. The way I used to create a keyword list for my campaigns was to use the adwords sandbox to enter a bunch of keywords that were relevant to my market and just add whatever words it spat out at me. It took me a while but I realized eventually that this wasn’t the best way to go about it. Many of my keywords would become inactive and the ones that remained were ranked 17.2 and not seeing a lot of action at all. It annoyed me because as you probably know, on the adwords traffic estimate screen you always seem to ge View the rest of this article


What Is Organic Food And Should I Buy It?

Organic food is the food derived from animals and plants that have been grown and raised in accordance with the strict guidelines associated with government?s definition of the term, ?organic.?

Do You Want Trust Back In Your Relationship?

TRUST is hard to earn, but easy to lose. And without TRUST, relationships come apart quickly.
Trust is the belief that a partner has your best interest at heart. And it is impossible to have a healthy relationship without trust.
Trust is a two-way street. Trust involves telling the truth AND being open to hearing what a partner has to say. But, sometimes the truth can be difficult to tell OR hear. When this happens, trust gets damaged and must be repaired.
Relationships are important - without doubt, one of the most important things we have.
At the same time, relationships are difficult, full of problems, and hard to maintain. So, knowing how to rebuild trust is an important skill to master.
Why is it important to rebuild trust?

There are 10 basic money skills that every child should learn before they enter the teenage years. It's never too late to learn, but most children are far more receptive to ideas from their parents before they hit the age of thirteen, than after.

Distance Education Tips

With the advent of information technology, more and more people are getting the full benefits from distance learning. In fact, people who were not able to finish their college courses due to some unavoidable circumstances can now get their college degree without having to resign or give up their current job. Distance learning is a new way of acquiring college and even doctorate degrees without having to attend formal schooling. People can get through the subjects needed to get the degree that they want just by getting brochures and learning materials through mail or through electronic methods. Fully completing a distance learning program, however, is not that easy and requires the same dogged determination and persistence, as with any schooling program.

Eczema - Causes And Treatment

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is characterized by a red itchy rash that is scaly and is oozing in some cases. The condition can appear on the arms and legs, cheeks, forehead, and in body parts such as knees and elbows where there are creases. In some cases, skin will have a leathery feel and even crack or blister. Some people also experience a thickening of the skin, red patches and even a slight color change when they have eczema.

This refers to the skin's inflammation, while atopic means an allergic, and usually genetic or inherited, tendency. The condition is common for infants, although eczema is typically outgrown. The child's condition could be chronic, or recur with regularity, if the problem persists beyond the second bir View the rest of this article


Electrical Discharge Machine Buying Tips

Electrical Discharge Machining or EDM is electrical equipment or a machining method that is used for hard metallic materials. It is primarily used on hard metals that cannot be processed by traditional methods and techniques.

14 Tips For Writing An Effective Online Survey

Developing a useful, well-written online survey that extracts the information you need from your users can be a challenge. In this article, I will review 14 tips for creating a useful online survey.
1) Write a brief, concise survey. Start with a mental framework that focuses on only what is essential to know. Ask questions only if the answers will give you the data you need and can use. If a question is not important enough to include in your report on the survey?s findings, then remove the question. Try to envision each question as its own specific theory that you are testing.
In addition, research has shown that people skim and skip on the web because it is difficult to read lots of heavily condensed text on a computer screen. Most users do not want to scro View the rest of this article


Excess Weight and Body Fats? Laugh Them All Off

Have you ever heard of the truism “jokes are half meant”? If you have, do you believe in it? If you have not, then now, you have read of it and maybe if you read on, you’d be able to think of a joke of your own which could be half or full-meant.

I gathered some of the most popular jokes on health and fitness over the Internet and after laughing about them, I thought maybe I could tell something that would prove that these jokes were born out of the sometimes painful and bitter realities of life.

It would really be nice to have a slim and really fit body but not everybody is blessed with such. There are some people, no matter how much food they take, including calories, fats and all, who never gain weight or grow fat. But to those who are ble View the rest of this article

My Road To Internet Success - So Far!

Ok so the whole Internet Marketing thing can be quite scary when you first get into it. I thought I'd share some of my experiences to date.
I have been looking at Internet Marketing for a while. I managed to get some resale rights for a DVD set about Internet Marketing. I planned on selling these DVDs Off-line to a mailing list that I payed for, to people with internet businesses and websites. So I found myself writing my sales letter. With no previous experience of writing copy this proved difficult. What proved more difficult was the fact that i was trying to sell to a market that I wasnt in and had very little knowledge about! I decided that I really needed to find out what Internet Marketing is all about. So I sat down and watched all of the DVDs I'd planned View the rest of this article


The Secret Of Getting Listed On Goggle

I remember when I created my first web site. I designed it, published it and then waited expectantly for Google to list it in their page rankings. Of course, I didn’t expect to be up at the top of the listings but I did think I would be there somewhere.

After several days the disappointment began to set in. I had a great web site but no one was going to see it because Google wasn’t including me in their listings! All that work for nothing. So I started looking around the net, trying to find out why I wasn’t being listed. It was now that I discovered that it can take Google up to 8 months to include your site on their search engine. This was a devastating blow. I couldn’t wait 8 months before people saw my web site!

Parenting---Roots And Wings

I?m sure many of you have heard that old Hallmark card adage that goes something like this: Parents give their children two great gifts---one is roots, the other is wings. This is what I address in this article.
As parents, we pray for our children?s safety, health and happiness. We do everything we know to help make these things happen for them.
At some point in our lives, we developed the principles and values that guide our life decisions. Our parents and/or caregivers certainly had influence over this but not complete determination. Some of us gladly adopted the values of our parents and continue to live by them today. Some of us so completely rejected our parents values that our decisions are determined by doing the exact opposite of what we believe our View the rest of this article

One thing in life is certain---change. Things never stay the same. If you are hoping for the status quo, then I?m afraid you will be disappointed. Just think back to how things were five years ago and you will realize that there is so very much that?s already different in a very short time.
I?m sure there are some of you who know people who refused to adapt to the computer age. I still know some ?old timers? who want to use word processors or even typewriters instead! Imagine. What is up with that?
Well, when change comes we have several options, some of which are more adaptive than others. Let?s take a look at them.
The first option is to refuse to change or adapt to any new circumstances, just like the person who still uses a word processor. These are g View the rest of this article

Car Lemon Laws - You Don't Have To Live With A Sour Deal

United States car lemon laws were enacted to protect consumers against buying defective, unrepairable vehicles. The major automobile manufacturers mass-produce their products, and generally the quality control is very good. However, when you connect more than a few parts together, you have a chance for a lemon.
What is a lemon car? A lemon or lemon car is an automobile that has a defect that cannot be repaired by the consumer after a reasonable number of attempts.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - A Secondary Effect

What causes carpal tunnel syndrome to develop? Although there are many professional opinions out there regarding the subject, most do not provide an accurate description of how carpal tunnel syndrome actually occurs.
What is agreed upon is the fact that the flexor tendons and median nerve are operating in a much smaller space than they were prior to the onset of symptoms. Many professionals state that it is the swelling of the involved tissues that is diminishing the space and others say that is caused by a muscle imbalance between the flexor and extensor muscles that is causing the carpal bones to shift into the carpal tunnel, making the carpal tunnel much smaller.
After much research, my opinion is that the swelling is a ?secondary effect? of the nine flexo View the rest of this article

Are We Having Fun Yet?

Sometimes it's good to have a casual day, you know? For that matter, it doesn't hurt to even take a day off once in a while.
I work really hard at building my business and keeping it in order. Honestly, I almost never take a day entirely off.
But you know what? I don't mind (most of the time) because I love what I do (again, most of the time).
Sure any form of work gets lame at times. That's to be expected.
I just couldn't imagine *choosing* a business that I didn't really like. The world is full of J-O-Bs that are just a total drag. Trust me; I've had lots of em' over the years.

SECRET CYPRUS

When most people think of Cyprus, they think of sand, sea, boat trips, cocktail bars and a confusing mix of restaurants. This is not a bad thing and is definitely what a lot of people are looking for or they would not be happy to return year after year. But, there is more and I have found it. It entails luring you away from the coastal resorts to discover the 'Secret Cyprus'.

A Marine company commander I knew of had a memorable way of introducing himself to his new platoon commanders. When they first reported for duty, he called them into his office, gave them each a laminated wallet card, then dismissed them without saying a word.

The wallet card read, "Seven Ways To Get Me Angry."

Defining VoIP

When I opened Todd Cardin Answering Service twenty years ago there were not a lot of options in phone service. Today there are so many options and choices in telephony that it is mind boggling. It is confusing living with so many choices. Even those of us in the telecommunications industry find it impossible to keep up with everything. This is especially true for voice over IP.



Many people hear the term Voice over IP or broadband telephone service and still are not sure what that means. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. Using VoIP, voice information is converted into digital packets and sent over the Internet, and then converted back into analog signals before reaching the phone receiver at the other end. This is a growing and View the rest of this article

Regardless if you have just recently purchased a new car or are looking to spruce up your old vehicle, adding floor mats can make all the difference.

The Buzz of Street Racing

What is it about street racing that just drives teenagers and young adults out of their wits?

Fears Of Starting A Home Based Business

When starting a home based business there are so many things that cross a person?s mind. One of the biggest challenges in starting a home business is the person themselves. Starting a home based business can be scary because there?s so much that goes into it. A home based business is not something you can pick up and start doing without having money and doing research.

Learn About The Different Types Of Mattresses

The Different Types of Mattresses
So, you?re finally ready to toss out that saggy old mattress and buy a new one. You?ve even decided what size you want and are ready to start shopping. However, do you know which of the different types of mattresses is right for you?
There are three common mattress types: innerspring, foam, and airbed. Of course, not all mattresses of a certain type are the same. Some are made with low quality materials, while others are top of the line models.
Most people use an innerspring mattress. This mattress type has been around since people discovered that a mattress made of springs covered in some sort of padding was much more comfortable to sleep on than a mattress stuffed with straw or horsehair.

Beating the Waiting Game

One of the many unavoidable facets of the writing life is the waiting. Writers wait until their prose is polished to perfection. We wait for feedback from writers' groups and trusted readers. We wait for weeks, months or years for responses to our queries. Even when the ultimate goal of publication is achieved, we wait for galley proofs, cover art, reviews, bookstore releases, and signing tours. And sometimes--oh, the horror--we wait for the next idea to seize our writing muscles and spur us into action.

Repairing Your Credit Report

Fixing your credit report and repairing your credit are two distinct processes and problems. If your credit is bad, you can implement some of the strategies below to fix a low score. Negotiate down the amount of debt (it’s easiest with private individuals). To do this, you must demonstrate the reason for falling behind. One of the tools you can use as leverage is offering something (not the full amount) rather than nothing. For example, explain why the lender should take $5,000 instead of $10,000. You can say “I’m calling five other creditors today. I’m offering you $0.50 on the dollar and if you aren’t interested, I’ll file for bankruptcy,” in which case they wouldn’t get a nickel).

Ideas For Your Party Favors

Most of us think only of weddings when considering party favors. However, they are often given at birthday parties or any social gathering at which the host wants to thank their guests for coming. These favors can range from very simple items, such as a small parcel containing a sweet or two, to extravagant gifts. The history of the favor reveals that the first to give them were the Italian nobility and their wealth permitted them to give items made of silver or gold.
The majority of us do not have the money to be able to buy our guests anything extravagant. However, there are simple ways to show your appreciation which do not have to cost a lot of money. If your gathering involves a formal, seated meal favors can double as place settings. For example, at a weddi View the rest of this article


Philippines Travel: Gentle Giants Of Donsol, Sorsogon

Donsol used to be a sleepy coastal town in Sorsogon?a province in the southernmost tip of Luzon. Nobody knows Donsol except for, of course, its local inhabitants until a few years ago when tourists from all over the world began to flock this remote place to get a look-see at the largest fish on earth: the whale shark.
Before, fishermen in Donsol were ignorant of the ecological (and tourist) value of whale sharks. They used to hunt, slaughter and sell the poor gentle sea creatures to Japanese traders. Local folks call them ?butanding? or ?big fish? in the vernacular. Early sightings of the butandings were reported in the Visayan seas in Bohol further south. It was said that massive slaughtering caused their migration to Donsol waters.

Customer Service Is Now Customer Care

As I waited for an answer to my VCR inquiry from a stereo company, the recording stated a ?customer care? representative would be available shortly. At that moment, I realized it?s finally catching on everywhere. With aging baby boomers, world events and additional pressures in today?s society; it is ?customer care? that has evolved in our economy. We have moved from a manufacturing economy to a service economy and are currently leaning towards a ?servicecare? economy. As we live in a high tech-high button touch environment, many personal contacts have been decreased making each customer interaction more important than ever to corporate imagery. For example, if you call for computer tech support, the representative often makes it a point to address you by first name. View the rest of this article

Mortgage Financing: Signs Of Predatory Lending

If you're shopping for a home loan, you can save thousands of dollars by being aware of predatory lending practices, in which you're charged too much for your loan or are forced to buy services you don't really need. You can protect yourself by learning to recognize the signs of predatory lending. The Center for Responsible Lending lists seven specific warning signs that consumers should be aware of when applying for a mortgage.
The first warning sign is excessive points and loan origination fees. Since these fees are often financed as part of the loan, it's easy to hide them. Competitive lenders typically charge 1% or less of the loan amount, but predatory lenders often charge 5% or more, which can add up to thousands of dollars over the course of a home mortgag View the rest of this article

How often recently have you browsed onto a webpage and an audio track has started instantly? Until about a year ago it required an expensive studio setup to be able to stream audio across the web.

Setting Up An Enclosure For A Snake

Maybe they're not exactly cuddly, but snake make interesting pets. Regardless of the type of snake, from nice little corn snakes up to monster Burmese pythons, there are some principles that apply to setting up a cage or enclosure for a pet snake. One of the most important aspects is to make sure the enclosure is absolutely escape-proof.
Snakes are known to have Houdini tendencies when it comes to staying confined. Aquariums make good enclosures for snakes, but the lids have to fit tightly and be clipped on. Some owners make belts to attach around the enclosure for more security. Any doors or openings in the cage need to fit tightly or the snake will push against it trying to get out. Remember, most of them are pretty slim, so they don't need that big of an openi View the rest of this article


Debt Elimination Is Very Important

Debt elimination is very important and thus it should be eliminated very fast. If debt isn't eliminated fast, then it can become a big burden. Debt doesn't allow any savings or investments for the future. Debt happens when there is a gap between the income and the expenditure. Many a times, people also take debt for trivial things which amount to only $50 or %100. However the cumulative effect of such small loans can be quite disastrous. All debts have an interest factor too. Thus not only does the capital have to be paid back, but even the interest has to be paid back.
Its important that you take note of all the debts that you have. Debts can be for short term, medium term or long term. Calculate the value of the debts. Start by paying of the smallest debt as we View the rest of this article


But It Has To Be Duplicatable

The "system" is just so simple. You say the same thing, send the same stuff, and get the same enthusiastic response, every time. Your downline builds smoothly, swiftly, and effortlessly, because the "system" is so effective, and easily duplicatable.

In a perfect world such a system may work. Clearly, this is not a perfect world.

I've found there are six common challenges to many of the "systems" that are in place today.

First, many are designed more to sell tapes, tools, training or lead generation services than to build downlines. Certainly there is a value to these types of products and services, to an extent. I'm by no means anti-tools or anti-training, and I'm certainly not opposed to good lead generation sources. I'm talking about upli View the rest of this article


A Quest For Answers

I have written a handful of articles about cars. The ones about ?muscle cars? or the old generation and new generation are easily my most popular articles. In a quest to find out why this debate seems so popular I have developed a survey, which will be found in the ?about the author? section below.
This one survey may not answer all the questions but it will be a good start. It was funny because as I was creating the survey I was trying to figure out which I prefer and I could not do it. I think it is because I like combinations of both. I was watching the Barrett Jackson classic car auction this winter and there was a car I would love to have had. It was an old muscle car, a 1970 Cuda or Challenger I believe, and it had a modern day Dodge Viper power plant.

Bad Credit Repair-- Defining The Problem

Before you begin the process of repairing your credit, you first need to ask yourself why you are having credit problems? Poor credit is nothing to be ashamed of. It is far more common than you may realize. Often it may not even be your fault, like Gerald and Lisa.
They invested five years and all they money they saved to start a small sign company. Then one summer someone broke into their business office and stole all the computers and expensive sign-making equipment. Unfortunately they did not have any insurance to cover what was stolen, so they had to take out loans to replace the items so they could stay in business. It took them years to recover financially from that, leaving them with bad credit.
On the other hand, like Paul, some people make poor credi View the rest of this article
