By Peter Emerson Pizzas may have come from Italy, but they are popular foods all over the world. Pizzas can be made with all sorts of ingredients, including tomatoes, cheese, olives, sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, peppers and even pineapple. Adding ingredients proportionately increases the price of pizzas. Depending on the number of toppings, pizza can get expensive at time. Since it is not possible to bargain for pizzas prices, using pizza coupons can relatively reduce costs. Pizza coupons are discount statements that can be redeemed at particular pizza outlets. These discounts could pertain to cash discounts, more pizza for less cash, complimentary bread sticks and cola, or other special offers. Since everyone likes saving money, these coupons are a practical method to do just that. There are a number of people who even get free pizzas by using these coupons effectively. Along with being effective tools for customers, pizza coupons are an effective and profitable marketing strategy for pizza businesses. These coupons are specially designed to increase sales volumes. Essentially discounts almost always attract consumers. In most cases, in order to take advantage of a discount, consumers have to purchase a pizza. The redeemable pizza coupon helps in reducing the bill. However, in this process pizza owners are guaranteed more customers. From the owners perspective, pizza coupon results vary from month to month. In most cases however, the amount a customer spends affects the discount rate. These coupons are mostly designed to reduce bills percentage-wise, but large bills are always the most profitable for the store. Depending on the business the store does, the kind of pizza coupons that work for a certain pizzeria may not have the same results for another establishment. This is why pizza coupons vary so much between different businesses. Pizza coupons are often available in the Yellow Pages. Other sources could be a pizzeria itself. At times, pizza places provide coupons to customers visiting the outlet, which are redeemable on future visits. Newspapers and magazines are widely used by pizza businesses to distribute pizza coupons. These coupons can be found in a coupon book that can be purchased for a nominal amount, or comes for free in the mail.

Facial Skin Care
By Edward Group Because of the exposure it receives, the skin on your face is the most delicate skin on your body. Your facial skin needs special care to stay young, healthy, and beautiful. 1. Clean Your Face Gently Toothpaste can be very irritating to the skin around the mouth. So brush your teeth before cleansing your face to remove any toothpaste residue that may be left on your lips and cheeks (You should use a natural toothpaste free from toxic Flouride- Jasons brand works well. Next, splash your face with lukewarm water and smooth about a quarter-size amount of a mild, natural cleanser over your face. You may use a washcloth or facial cloth if you wish, but fingertips are gentler on the skin. Use circular strokes to lightly massage the cleanser into your skin. Rinse the soap from your face with lukewarm water, and blot your skin dry with a clean, soft towel. 2. Use Toner Sparingly Skin toning products often contain drying products, such as alcohol or acetone, that can be irritating to sensitive skin. Avoid using a skin toner if your skin has become dry and delicate over the years. However, a natural skin toner like the product Oxy-Skin will bind water to the skin and provide extra cleansing and moisture. This product would be useful for someone with dry or oily skin. Use skin toner on freshly cleansed skin. Apply toner to a cotton tissue rather than a cotton ball as a tissue is less absorbent and you will end up using less toner on your face. Gently smooth the tissue over your face and allow the toner to dry. 3. Apply Eye Cream The skin under your eyes is more delicate and sensitive than the skin on the rest of your face. It is the first part of your face to show signs of aging. An natural eye cream or serum can help to protect this fragile skin, even out skin tone, minimize dark under eye circles, and even temporarily tighten fine lines. Use a pea-sized amount of eye cream (Parfait Visage) and apply to your skin with your middle finger. This finger will apply less pressure than your index finger. In a clockwise motion, smooth the cream from the center of the undereye area to the browbone and over your lids. 4. Moisturize Liberally A good moisturizer is one of the foundations of an effective skin care routine. Use a moisturizer right after bathing to seal moisture into your skin. A moisturizing product that is not made especially for the face may be too heavy and it may leave the face looking and feeling greasy. Creams and lotions usually are the facial moisturizers of choice for a couple of reasons, as they contain some water and are lighter on the face. And many creams and lotions are humectants, an oil-free class of moisturizer that binds water to the skin so its effects are longer lasting. Massage a nickel-size amount of facial moisturizer between your fingertips and then smooth over the skin on your face and neck using upward and outward strokes. Pulling down on your skin will aggravate the effects of gravity. 5. Protect Your Face The best way to prevent unnecessary sun damage is to protect your skin from exposure to the sun. Excess sun exposure can cause damage to your skin in the form of freckles, roughness, age spots, wrinkles, and cancer. Skin cells can repair themselves to a certain degree even after they have been overexposed to ultraviolet light, as long as further exposure is avoided. So it is worth taking the precautions to protect your skin from sun at any age. Ultraviolet rays barrage your face even when you least expect it: in the car, at the bus stop, and even walking in and out of the house. Use a natural sunscreen product everyday, even if you don't plan on spending a lot of time outdoors. Facial Skin Care Tips Don't wait until bedtime to remove dirt, makeup, dust and pollutants from the face. If you're in for the night, wash your face as soon as you get home for the day and apply eye cream and moisturizers. Avoid soda, coffee and other caffienated beverages. These drinks dehydrate your body and rob moisture from the skin. Instead, make sure you drink plenty of purified water throughout the day. Water helps to plump your skin with moisture and it improves circulation. Try to drink enough water that you are never actually thirsty. I recommend a Wellness Water purification system. Use sunscreen everyday, not just when you are headed to the beach. Its never too late to start protecting your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Wearing a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 everyday can protect your skin from premature aging, wrinkling, and age spots. To learn more visit http://www.skin-care-support.org.

Celebrity Weight Loss - How You Can Use The Diet And Weight Loss Programs Of The Stars
By Tracie Johanson Why is it that celebrities always seem to be thinner, sexier and more beautiful that us? What weight loss secrets do they use to get that way? Is it a diet, a diet pill, Weight Watchers, or what? It seems that if we could only get the inside information on the new celebrity weight loss program or weight loss pill, then wed be almost guaranteed to experience fast weight loss of our own. Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, Denise Richards, Janet Jackson, Daryl Hannah, Whitney Houston, Kirstie Alley and many other celebrities have all been in the news lately because of their own personal weight issues. This article looks at what weight loss strategies have worked for these and other celebrities, and how we can apply these same tactics to our own situation. -> First Of All, Celebrities Dont Always Get It Right: Before we go any further with this discussion, its important to note that the stars arent always successful in their weight loss efforts. A 5 4 Janet Jackson weighed in at a slim 117 pounds in May 2002, but three years later had climbed to a too-high 160 pounds. Kirstie Alley, only 5 8 tall, weighed 207 pounds as recently as October 2004 (source: STAR Magazine 11-14-05). And who can forget those unpleasant pictures of Anna Nicole Smith? Most celebrities have had the same weight issues weve all experienced. The difference is that, with paparazi hanging around all the time, when the stars gain some extra fat everyone in America knows about it. -> Most Celebrities Are Thinner Than Us: Despite the few celebrity weight loss failures, theres no denying that most celebrities look better than we do. Models, for example, are 23 percent leaner than the average (source: annecollins.com). Perhaps their trim appearance is part of the reason why we, as a nation, have such a fascination with the celebrity lifestyle. Indeed, we typically reward and idolize the more slender celebrities. Just a quick look at People Magazines list of the 50 Most Beautiful People 2005 reveals that only the lean made the list. Peoples Most Beautiful Women of 2005 list reveals the same thing celebrities (at least the popular ones) are more thin than we are. Even when we do find a celebrity that doesnt look like a stick figure, invariably we find that they have recently lost some weight. No longer a crash dieter, Oprah Winfrey..who at her heaviest was 237 lbs., has been eating right, sticking to lean protein and hitting the gym as she aims for her "safe zone" in the 150-lb. range. "Maybe for the first time, she's doing it for all the right reasons," says trainer Bob Greene of the talk-show queen's workouts (source: people.aol.com). -> Celebrities Make Weight Loss Mistakes, Too: To be completely honest and straightforward, if theres a diet program out there that doesnt work, the stars will find it. With an almost unlimited budget, celebrities are willing to try every fat burner and fat loss gimmick that hits the market. Rather than look for the best weight loss program, many stars look instead for just easy weight loss. Consider the following examples of the goofy things celebrities have tried to lose weight fast: Toccara Jones, former "America's Next Top Model" contestant, and Wendy Kaufman, the Snapple lady, who also participated in the first "Fit Club," agree to try a New Age weight-loss procedure without knowing what it is. They arrive at Soothing Solutions in Burbank, CA, to discover that they have signed on for a colonic. "We gently flow water in and out of your colon and it flushes everything out," the attendant tells them (source: et.tv.yahoo.com). Jani Lane, lead singer of the rock group Warrant, who sustained an injury when the Fit Club was boxing, goes to Eden Surgical Center in Calabasas, CA, and undergoes a needle injection. It is a process which liquefies the fat so the cells shrink. Then came the emotional weigh-in. A few of the celebs made their weight-loss goal, most didn't and a few even gained weight (source: et.tv.yahoo.com). -> How Do They Do It? Even though celebrities do make diet and nutrition mistakes, the majority of them are still thinner than us. So how do the stars achieve quick weight loss when we battle and fight just to lose a few pounds? Is there some secret weight loss product or weight loss plan theyre keeping hidden from us? The secret is that there is no secret. Celebrities try the same diets we have, including the South Beach Diet, the Zone Diet, the Atkins Diet and countless others. There is no mysterious diet plan or diet product that works for every celebrity all the time, just as there is no such plan that will work for every one of us. (For more information on this topic, see our e-book titled "Fast And Easy Weight Loss Using Diet Programs And Diet Pills" by going to http://www.letspickupthepace.com/ and clicking on Pick Up The Pace Store.) Celebrities that are successful in achieving a healthy weight loss generally do so with a nutritious weight loss diet and regular exercise. Take a look at these examples: "I think Oprah Winfrey wins the weight battle of 2004 -- she looks fabulous..Look at her, she's never looked better. She's been skinnier -- that's true -- but she's never looked better." "Oprah should set the standard for Hollywood weight loss," Paula says. "She's been very open about it. She's been up, she's been down, she's been wide, she's been skinny." She continues: "She didn't do the surgery and she doesn't really do the fad diets. She eats healthy, she has a personal trainer and she works really hard at it" (source: et.tv.yahoo.com). Denise Richards put on 30 lbs. while carrying Lola (born June 1), but Richards had a secret weight-loss weapon: Its called the Stress Diet, she says, half-joking, and alluding to having filed for divorce (from Charlie Sheen) in her sixth month of pregnancy. But mostly she can thank her work with trainer Garrett Warren: She's been kickboxing and doing abdominal exercises four to six times weekly and adhering to a portion-controlled diet (source: celebrity.aol.com). "All eyes were on the miraculous weight loss of Hollywood in 2004," Paula says. "But there's no real miracle about it, it's exercise, it's eating right and sometimes -- it's surgery!" (Source: et.tv.yahoo.com). -> Why Does It Work For Them And Not For Us? Its no surprise that eating the right foods and exercising regularly will help us achieve our ideal weight. So why is it that celebrities seem to have so much more success than we do? There are three reasons why the stars lose weight faster than the average American:
* Celebrities have more time than we do.
* Celebrities have more money than we do.
* Celebrities have a bigger incentive to stay fit and trim. Although they do work long hours while touring or filming, theres no denying that the stars have more disposable time than we do. When youre rich enough to hire a nanny, a driver, a personal chef and many other assistants to take over the time-consuming tasks of life for you, its easy to find more time to exercise. Singer Jessica Simpson started a new exercise routine to get in shape for her role as Daisy Duke in the upcoming Dukes of Hazard movie. Her workout includes two hours a day of squats and lunges and has motivated her to create a new workout video. "I have a white-girl bootie, so I'm doing all my squats to lift it a little bit and get some junk in my trunk," says Jessica (source: kidzworld.com). Usher's been workin' on his abs since he was 16, but claims that it's all because of good genes..hard work and being disciplined - oh yeah, and 1,000 crunches a day. Usher also has a daily routine he calls "forty minutes of funk" which includes stretchin', skippin' and jumping jacks. Then he moves onto push-ups, leg raises and tricep dips..can you say fitness freak! (source: kidzworld.com). Not only do celebrities have the time to exercise for hours on end, but they typically have the money to hire the absolute best weight loss support team. Julia Roberts, for example, earns an estimated $25,000,000 each year. Cameron Diaz earns $20,000,000 annually. Angelina Jolie pulls down about $12,000,000 each year and Reese Witherspoon gets a $15,000,000 yearly paycheck (source: bankrate.com). With that much cash on hand, the stars can easily afford to hire the best personal trainers, the best nutritionists, the best dietitians and the best personal chefs. Celebrities also have the luxury of personal trainers and nutritionists to help them with rigorous diet regimes (source: abcnews.go.com). With a personal chef to prepare every meal, celebrities find it easier to follow a low fat diet. A registered dietitian in the house makes it easy for stars to get a unique diet recipe or any other weight loss information they want. Simply put, having the salary of a celebrity makes it easier to lose weight. Indeed, its that same high salary that gives celebrities their incredible incentive to stay slender. The blunt truth of the matter is that Hollywood and the entertainment industry is not kind to overweight stars, often shunning them in favor of thin beauty. Celebrities see a very real connection between their weight and their earnings power, which gives them the motivation they need to keep trying when many others would give up. Statistics show that approximately two-thirds of Americans are overweight. Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that 80 percent of overweight individuals and almost 87 percent of obese individuals are trying to lose or maintain their weight. As a nation, were trying to win the battle of the bulge, but we often lack the motivation to consistently exercise and eat right. How much easier would that struggle be if there were a $25,000,000 prize waiting for us when we reached our goal weight? -> How We Can Use The Diet And Weight Loss Programs Of The Stars: Although most Americans cant afford the same support staff hired by the celebrities, we can learn from their success and use that information to achieve our own health and fitness goals. Heres what we can do to copy the weight control tactics of celebrities: * Find an exercise program that takes less time.
*Search for free diet information and free weight loss information.
* Earn and keep more money by losing weight. First of all, its time to face reality that most of us will never have hours each day to dedicate to exercise like the celebrities do. Thats not an excuse to quit! Instead, find an exercise routine that will get results in a shorter period of time. A great example is circuit training, where you get aerobic and resistance exercise at the same time. By combining these two types of workout into one, its entirely possible to get real fat loss results in only thirty minutes each day. Some time-strapped celebrities use circuit training to achieve their fitness goals. Matthew McConaughey, for example, ..was circuit training combining cardiovascular exercise with muscle-strengthening moves.. (source: STAR Magazine 11-14-05). Circuit training works, especially for those of us short on time. Pick Up The Pace, 30-Minute Workout For Women, is a health club that offers hydraulic circuit training and has seen gym members accomplish incredible results. Pick Up The Pace member Minnie lost 10.5 inches during the month of February 2005! Vymell C. lost 9.5 inches the same month! Betty K. joined Pick Up The Pace in January, 2003. By September, 2004 she had lost 50 inches, and dropped from a size 18 to an 8. Stacie Y. lost 68 pounds, 54 1/4 inches, and dropped 6 sizes! The next thing we can do to mimic celebrity weight loss success is find free diet information and free weight loss information. The truth about health and fitness is out there, and much of it is free. For example, to get more than fifty pages of free weight loss tips check out http://www.letspickupthepace.com/articles.asp. For those seeking information on rapid weight loss, its also a good idea to subscribe to free health and fitness newsletters like the one found at http://www.letspickupthepace.com/newsletter.asp. Finally, we can copy celebrity weight loss by giving ourselves a real cash incentive to lose weight. While we probably wont ever hit that $25,000,000 payday, we can earn and keep more money by losing weight. It's true! Losing weight will help us earn and save more money. "Studies have consistently shown that obese employees are paid less than normal-weight employees doing similar jobs" (source: HealthNewsDigest.com). A comprehensive study of wages in 1998 found that obese workers earn significantly less than than non-obese employees. How much less? About $3.41 per hour! This discrepancy was found only in those workers who had employer-sponsored health insurance, perhaps suggesting that the higher costs of insuring obese individuals was being passed on to the employees themselves. (Source: Bundorf and co-author Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at the Center for Health Policy/Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research). So it's possible that losing weight could eventually add substantially to our paycheck! But did you know that losing weight may also lower the amount of money we personally pay out in medical costs? According to a study published in Health Affairs recently, obese Americans pay $732 more for health care each year than do normal-weight adults. Is that as much as a celebrity earns each year? Of course not but it is a cash incentive for us to lose weight! Celebrities will always have the advantage when it comes to weight loss. But with some extra effort we can achieve the same results! * Copyright 2005 Pick Up The Pace.

Revival: Must We Lose Our Minds, Part 1
By Les Herron The Bereans were congratulated out of all the churches for checking Pauls preaching of the gospel with the then only testament, the Old Testament. He congratulated them and encouraged others to do the same. Paul was preaching a radically new thing that was considered outside the teachings of the majority of the Jewish priests yet with study the Bereans were able to see that Pauls teachings lined up right alongside their sacred scripture. They did not lose their minds but rather engaged their minds with the help of the Holy Spirit and the written word of God. Because of their daily search of the scriptures to find out what Paul and Silas were teaching many believedJews and Greeks and prominent men and women. These were men who were more fair-minded or more noble than the men of Thessalonica in that they received the words from Paul and Silas eagerly (emotionally) and with scripture study (intellectually). It has been said to just turn your minds off when it comes to revival services or river services. Is that really what God is asking us to do? Is the Creator of our entire body and the fullness of who we are asking us to check our brain at the door before He can touch us and we can experience Him? This is the God who said that the greatest commandment is to love Him with all of who we are, including our minds. Is it a true experience with Him if our mind is not engaged? Are we able to know Him in His entirety if we neglect loving Him with our minds? Teacher which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment (Matthew 22:36-37) The Apostle Paul, arguably the smartest guy and the most educated one in the New Testament, said that our lives are transformed by the renewal of our minds. So, if we are all about transformation then how will that happen without the mind engaged? And maybe this is part of the problem people have with what passes for revival in this generation: the lack of transformation in peoples lives. What if the intellect was engaged and the gifts of discernment and wisdom and the ministry gifts of pastoring and leadership were added to the mix of the anointed evangelist instead of allowing the evangelist to determine how the revival ran its course? When one gift is evident should all the other gifts cease? When one gift is being appreciated should all the other gifts be depreciated? It must not be so. Paul, in II Corinthians 12 (check reference) states that the entire body works together with each part contributing to the success and maturing of the body. In Ephesians (chapter 5) it says that each part works together for the maturing and the stability and the growing to full maturity of the body. Is it any different when revival hits? Maybe the anointed revivalist needs some assistance from the rest of the body when God hits the local church. Maybe the reason the anointing leaves so quickly and the feeling fades is that the body has not been engaged in what God is doing but is rather on the sidelines watching the show, which allows us to just step right back into life as normal. It appears that the very gifts that are needed during this time are the ones that are underappreciated at the very least or ignored and rejected at the most. Things like hospitality are left out with statements such as I just want to be a Mary and not a Martha. I Corinthians chapter 14 states that the prophetic should judge words of the prophet that is speaking yet we rarely see this dynamics in a church setting. We speak about freedom in our services while at the same time putting people of intellect in bondage. We dance and call it freedom yet subtly state that if you are not dancing then you probably lack freedom, instead of thinking that maybe some are so free that they do not have to dance when a specific song comes on or when the preacher says they must dance for breakthrough. What about the great men and women of the Bible? Did they lose their minds in order to walk anointed in their call?

Where To Find Great Cell Phone Deals
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Eric_Morris]Eric Morris A large variety of cell phone deals is available in the market. The number of cell phone deals, plans, offers, calling rates, and rentals offered by carriers can confound new customers. Selecting the best cell phone deal is therefore a trickier issue than buying other products and services. The best place for finding the most cost-effective cell phone deals is the Internet, where almost all carriers host their websites for providing information about their cell phone services. It also contains comparison charts, which highlight the benefits of the carrier's services vis--vis services of other carriers. Customers can access a particular carrier's website and choose the best cell phone deal from available options. They can also access related links to get more information about a particular type of cell phone deal. Apart from specific carrier websites, a number of other websites are also hosted on the Internet that provide information about cell phone deals offered by different carriers. This helps customers as all the required information is available on a single website and they do not have to hop from one website to another. Customers looking for the best available cell phone deals should carefully read the information provided in the carrier's website and analyze personal needs. They can select from customized deals such as the 'pay as you go,' hybrid deals, family deals, and others offered by the carrier. Consumers can get lower rates if they identify the minutes of usage each month and buy them in a block. Even though one may have decided upon a certain cell phone deal after studying the market, there are always friends, family members, and colleagues offering opinions on where to get great cell phone deals. However, users should know that what is best for a particular user might not necessarily benefit all users. There is no way to standardize opinions of what the best cell phone deal is as it depends on the needs and perception of a specific user.

What Are The Right Ways To Manage Your Weight
By Ng Peng Hock Obesity or overweight will increase ones risk of premature death and chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, stroke, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Reduction of weight can not only lower these risks but also improve ones appearance, quality of life, and mental health. However, it is important that an obese individual should seek proper advice from medical doctor or professional health personnel on how to lose weight, especially when he or she already has some medical disorders. Diet, exercise, and behavioral therapy are the three essential elements for any treatment of obesity. These are the advices given by a senior consultant endocrinologist. Skipping any of the three main meals should not be taken as a weight control method. Instead, patients should follow dietitians advice to take the most appropriate diet with adequate size without needing snacks between meals to lose weight. Patients should also learn how to read food labels and glycaemic index of foods. Exercise burns calories. Exercising at the right intensity and duration can burn fats almost exclusively at the so-called Fat-Burn Zone, when patients target heart rate is at 60 to 70 percent of the maximum heart rate (MHR) calculated based on the patients age. For example, a 30 year-old patients target heart rate is equal to 114 beats per minute (calculated from the formula: (220 minus 30) x 60%). He needs to exercise at least 3 times a week to be effective. Behavioral modification plays an important role if patient wants to achieve long-term weight loss. Behavioral therapy can help change key attitudes, motivate self-change while maintaining self-esteem, manage stress and depression, etc. Besides the three ways mentioned above, slimming medications can be a useful adjunct. They must, however, never be used alone. With medical supervision, slimming medications can sometimes achieve excellent results in weight reduction and weight maintenance. These can only be used for patients with BMI of 30 kg/m2 and above, and those with BMI of 27 kg/m2 and above with concomitant medical problems that include diabetes, stroke, hypertension, and heart disease. The medications should not be prescribed to patients below the age of 18 and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Surgery is another alternative for those morbidly obese (BMI 40 kg/m2 and above) or those with BMI of 35 to 39.9 kg/m2 with severe medical problems. This should be taken as the last resort when all the above means have been used for more than 6 months and failed to achieve any significant weight loss. Gastric bypass, gastric placation, and gastric banding are some of the usual surgical procedures. Prevention is better than cure. So, the best approach is not to become overweight. Having a healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity will make one more likely to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Seminar Topics - Talk Business, Not IT
By Joshua Feinberg Seminar topics are difficult to think of. We know that hosting seminars is an excellent way to network and use relationship marketing. The problem lies in figuring out a seminar topic that will appeal to the clients in your sweet spot. When choosing a seminar topic, people in the IT business typically choose IT related topics. This is one of the biggest mistakes I see people make. The folks who are interested in technology related seminars, are other technology based businesses. If your seminar topic is on Voice Over IP, you'll get a bunch of audience members in the same business as you. You don't want your seminar topic to attract your competition; you want it to attract potential clients. You do this by offering seminar topics that focus on business problems. Especially business problems you can solve. An excellent way to think of seminar topics is to focus on an industry. Determine what you can you do to help the businesses in the industry, and, voila - you have a seminar topic that will attract the audience you want. If you're going to do something for a general audience it will be harder to hit their hot buttons, but you must still focus on seminar topics that are important to a business owner.

Bodily Attributes!
By Seamus Dolly The revolution is indeed underway. Money married to desire, imagination and necessity has produced a technological revolution which will see incredible changes and potential. This is not about any morbid fixation, but rather about complimentary technologies. Some religious ideologists, or ethically sensitive groups, may not approve.
They may not feel they have to. But, someone dealing with paralysis, for example, may have some hope for a productive future. Cybernetics, which is the introduction and implementation of hardware or non-organic components, into the body, has enormous potential. Micro processors and less invasive wireless technologies ( no need for physical connection ), result in the remote control of peripheral devices. A robotic arm, to mention a simple application that everyone is familiar with, can be controlled to manipulate the external world, or perform relatively simple tasks like switching on the kettle. Simpler again, and often more important, would be to scratch oneself, when itchy. If you ever wore a cast, you'll know what is meant by that. Artificial muscles, however crude, can be made to perform simple functions, electrically. More sympathetically though, our own muscles behave in a similar way with the chemistry replacing the "wire" or conductor. Relatively simple, fabric-like heart valves have been made, where the finance was limited and when life demanded something. Artificial limbs are fairly common, and can range in complexity or performance. It is fairly safe to say that we all know someone who depends on these (though it might not be obvious ). The artificial eye is a breakthrough and is here, and though it requires refinement, it will improve. And why wouldn't it? We all know of cameras and how their images are transportable. Compare any analogue camera with its modern digitial, and versatile counterpart, if at all possible and "see" what has been achieved. The thing here is to allow a blind person, for example, to access what a camera sees, where the eye has been irreversibly damaged or impaired. The optic nerve, however, may be just fine, so an interface between a camera and it, is one approach, and the approach that has returned some results. Artificial hearing, in its earlier form was a microphone, and then a hearing aid. An implant within the head, dramatically increases its potential. It is this type of hardware implants that cybernetics encompasses. A merging of the biological and electronic environments, if you will. People who suffer physical injury or disease, that render them into a limited field of possibility, will be the initial beneficiaries. It is said that there is an area of the brain called the paroidal reach region, that can function, where complete paralysis exists. It runs through the plan before a physical act occurs. Some believe that where this region is functional, external manipulation is possible. A processor can be implanted; it picks up on the electrical firing activity produced, and communicates this information wirelessly, to an external device. The theory is that if we can think it, well then we can do it. Wasn't it Napoleon that said "If we can perceive it, we can achieve it". I really doubt though, that he was referencing cybernetics. However, it is well known that the hardware to device communication is possible. It is also known that the device control is possible. Modern machinery from production machinery to marine vessels have what is known as dynamic positioning control. Research vessels can hold position to within five inches of any point, in the Atlantic or other oceans, under normal sea conditions. Twenty years ago, this tolerance was two foot, or feet. Special electrical motors ( though no longer considered special ), make this possible. The older technology was mechanical gearboxes that had a limited reaction time/control. So, these or similar motor technologies, can be used for robotic arms, legs, eyes, ears, switches, switches for switches, internet connection, or indeed anything that a futuristic mind can contemplate. What is not understood entirely, is the brain coding. Can it be figured out? Yes! Look to the internet and the advances that have occurred. Anyone with a phone connection has access to databases, and software features to limit their labour, and such things can be thought of as brain extension. Well isn't it? If you didn't have it, you would be less capable! Complimentary tools are indeed complimentary. We are not born with them, but we are born with the power or ability to create them, where resources and some support exist, and when the time in a technological sense is right, or close to it. What is meant by that is that a caveman, for example, could have been a genius, but definitely lacked support from his peers, and the framework to achieve much. At any point in time, none of us can do all that we want, whether we start early enough or not. Or else we don't want much, which may mean that progress is more reliant on chance than technology. Heavy debate may suggest that they are the same thing, and I suppose that none of us will surely know that either. The best we can do is to add something and if the time/circumstances is/are right, it could blow up into something phenomenal. Indeed, whatever we do, is in addition to what has been done before us. The neurosurgeons of today are simply adding to the knowledge base of their eighteenth century counterparts. Needless to say, you wouldn't let such counterparts near your feet, let alone your head. But they have a part to play in the success stories of today. Indeed, some might say that they were "freed" from the "blight" of litigation. That is true, but a little distractive. You can no longer say "never", only "never, within my lifetime", and you could still be wrong, such are the modern day variables.

A Message From Your Father
By Michael Tummillo As I was praying this morning, I felt an urgency to jump up and write this message. I know that it was meant for many readers. I heard a story about a man in Spain who booted his son out of the house for disgracing him, as I recall. Heart-broken and missing his son's companionship, he ran an ad in the paper. It read: "Paco, meet me at the Hotel Montana at noon on Tuesday. All is forgiven! Love, Papa." When the father went to the Hotel Montana the next day at noon there were 800 young men named Paco waiting for their fathers...and waiting for the forgiveness they never thought was possible! Like Paco, you may feel like your heavenly Father no longer loves and accepts you. Your guilt may have you convinced that there is no going back to His embrace. That is a lie. The truth is that Jesus paid for every sin you committed or ever will commit. He paid with His blood and His life, then He put, not with a newspaper ad, but with a promise in the Bible: "Come now, let's settle this," says the Lord. "Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool," (Isaiah 1:18). Regardless of how awesome you may feel that this Christian or that Christian may be...regardless of how perfect and spiritually strong and vibrant a certain Christian leader or TV personality may appear, I have a promise that I can most make to you with 100% assurance. That is this: no matter who they are or how they appear, the fact is, they struggle with sin in their lives. It's true. Every one of us struggles with something that we absolutely hate about ourselves, ministers included. Myself included. From bad attitudes to nasty habits, personal characteristics and quirks that we drag around like a ball and chain, we ALL got 'em. Oh, sure, some sins are more visible than others. An incredibly gifted, 400-pound music minister I know told me that he is constantly being told that he would lose weight if he would take authority over the sin in his life. A 92-pound friend, another incredible Christian who has crippling rheumatoid arthritis, is always being told the same thing. The apostle Paul spoke long and loud about the sin that so easily besets each of us. He spoke of his own need for a deliverer who would rescue him from the "body of death" that he carried every day. In Romans 7, he laments on how he can't/won't/should stop doing what he does. That could be ANY of us, right? Even if there WERE a Christian on planet Earth who WAS able to walk in sinless perfection day in and day out, That would make him or her perfect and no one - not even the virgin Mary (who acknowledged herself as a sinner and even took part in a sinner's 2-dove sacrifice for sin) - was perfect EXCEPT for the man Christ Jesus. If there WAS a perfect person, that individual would undoubtedly take pride in his perfection - which is a sin - and would, therefore, no longer be perfect. But man looks at the outside, God looks at the heart (1 Sam 16:7). We really don't care what's going on inside an individual, in most cases, but we seem to love dragging people through the mud once their sins have been exposed - a la Ted Haggerty recently, or the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church - rather than covering their nakedness as two of Noah's kids did when the third found him naked and drunk from too much wine and, like a cub reporter, ran and told the others. The secular media will do what they do, serving as Satan's pawns in every case. Those who claim to be followers of Christ should live by a higher standard and, as a Body fitly joined together, all children of the same God, we should do better than we do. So, what's a Christian to do? Shall we stop aspiring to measure up to so 'n so's deceptively stellar example of Christianity? Shall we continue to strive to become the very model of a modern major disciple? Shall we wallow in our inability to "do good," despite knowing that, according to Jesus, "there's none good but God"? When you DO sin - and we ALL do - do you feel separated from God, or do you rejoice in that ALL your sins, including the ones you haven't committed yet, are forgiven and forgotten? Think of it: at the cross 2000 years ago, how many sins had you committed? There are no VIP sinners. To wallow in guilt is to say, essentially, "Thanks, Jesus, but the crucifixion just wasn't enough for me." As you rejoice in your forgiveness, do you thank God for the grace to do better next time (there WILL be a next time)? Do you turn around and forgive OTHERS their trespasses as you've been forgiven, or do you count it against them still? Sin once separated us from God but the cross took care of that for you. Don't misunderstand God's grace for a license to sin; we will reap as we sew, after all. Now, go tell somebody else that the King has forgiven them and desires relationship with them. Do it excitedly, with conviction - and listen closely as the shackles fall. God sees Jesus when He looks at you. Satan knows the potential of a Christian who actually starts to believe this stuff, so he lies to us relentlessly, trying to get us to believe all the negative press he can muster. It's a battle for your mind. You know he's lying when his lips are moving. He's called the father of lies. Your Father forgives you. He loves you. Now, go live like a Believer! You are free from the guilt of sin!
Start by forgiving those who've sinned against YOU! "My child, meet me at the foot of the Cross as soon as you can make it. All is forgiven! Love, Your Heavenly Father." Every blessing,

Have You Neglected This Righteous Cause Of God?
By David Hopkins As believers, we have a responsibility to care for
those who have been left without a bread winner, which
begins with the responsibility of caring for our own
family and relatives who may be in distress. 1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and
specially for those of his own house, he hath denied
the faith, and is worse than an infidel. An infidel is a person who does not even acknowledge
God. So what does that say about someone who doesn't
take care of his own family in need? Helping the poor and needy is the only Christ like
response there is in dealing with widows and orphans
and people that are tragically left without a bread
winner. James 1:27 "Pure and undefiled religion before God and
the father is this; to visit orphans and widows in
their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the
world". God is deeply concerned that the poor and needy
receive justice and deliverance. This should be high
on the agenda for anyone seeking to honor God and
receive His divine blessings. Psalms 41:1 "Blessed is he who considers the poor, The
Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord
will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be
blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the
will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on
his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his
sickbed". The above scripture is one of more than twenty five
times in which psalms mention "the poor" , usually
either in terms of what the wicked are doing to them
or what God is doing for them. So to be on the side of God is to take up the cause of
the poor and oppressed. Helping the poor has to do with one's responsibilities
toward upholding the weak and disadvantageed. Wherever scripture raises this issue, it challenges us
to share at least some of our material wealth with
people in desperate need. Exodus 22:25-27 "If you lend money to any of My people
who are poor among you, you shall not be like a money
lender to him; you shall not charge him interest". Whatever charity we show to the poor will be repaid,
not necessarily by the poor, but by the Lord because
the Lord assumes the debt. God is aware of what we do and because of that we
never really "waste" our charity, even if the person
who receives it turns out to be deceptive, God still
makes it right. The poor person will have to answer
for how he uses the resources God brings into his
life. Likewise, we must answer for how we have used the
resources God brings our way, and in most cases God
wants us to use at least part of those resources to
assist the poor. Those that honor God show mercy to the weak and
disadvantaged, Yet In contrast those that depart from
Godly ways abuse and manipulate the poor. So part of our responsibility as Christians involves
seeing that the poor benefit from truth and justice,
by demonstrating that commitment at our jobs and
communities. Proverbs 11:24-25 "There is one who scatters, yet
increases more; and there is one who withholds more
than is right, but it leads to poverty. The generous
soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be
watered himself". God also condemns favoritism toward the rich and
discrimination towards the poor. This includes
treating rich people better than poor people based on
their socioeconomic status. Exodus 22:22-24 You shall not afflict any widow or
fatherless child. If you afflict them in any way, and
they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry; and
My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the
sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children
fatherless. So in conclusion to take up this righteous cause of
God you must provide for the needs of your family. (1
Tim. 5:8). Visit orphans and widows in their trouble.
(Jam. 1:27). Don't be like a money lender to the poor
(Ex. 22:25-27), and not afflict any widow or
fatherless child. (Ex. 22:22-24). David Hopkins is a "Christian Article Writer" who

God in everything that they do, so they don't miss

Couples Relationship Assessment Quiz - Part 17 - Conscious Compromise
By Glenn Cohen Do you feel like youre the one always giving in? Dont you just want a way to come to an agreement?
The difference between happy couples and unhappy couples is their ability to differentiate between the actual issue and the underlying cause of the emotional component to the problem. Your Journey from I-TO-WE takes a big step when you understand and respect each others perspective and compromise. This assessment looks at how you address the conflict resolution in your relationship. This free set of assessments offers you the chance to find powerful answers. If you are willing to take the time to reflect on these questions, discuss them, and be honest with yourselves and each other, it can help you on your journey to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship so you can be Best Friends During the Day,
Lovers at Night, and
Partners for Life. The adventure of life gives us the incredible opportunity to learn and grow as individuals. I like to say that we do not stop learning, stretching, growing, maturing, and changing until we are 6 feet under. What happens so often is we go through life unaware that we dont know what we dont know. In this fast-paced world, many of us do not have or take the time to sit, take a deep breath, and really think about the statements addressed in these assessments. We usually do not reflect on and consider the impact the answers to these statements can have on our relationship. We must gain the awareness, learn the techniques, and practice the skills to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship. Take your time to think about each statement and be honest. One partner should use a black pen and the other partner a red pen. Rate your degree of agreement for each statement on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being a definite yes and 1 being a definite no. Write your score on the first line to the left of each statement. The second line is for your partners score. You may find it difficult to give certain statements a low score. You may worry that your response will hurt or offend your partner or create conflict. Honesty, however, is critical for the success of the Co-Create a Conscious Relationship program. Also, no matter what score your partner writes down, be supportive; do not get defensive, resentful, or angry. Thank him or her for being courageous and honest. All of the topics in this assessment series are covered in detail, with exercises, in my book The Journey from I-TO-WE. Conscious Compromise

Basil: The King of Herbs
By Gwen Stewart One of the most popular herbs is Ocimum basilicum commonly called sweet basil. Often called the king of herbs, basil can be grown indoors or out. Sweet basil has inch-long, oval-pointed, dark green leaves and a clove-pepperish odour and taste. Sweet basil makes a handsome, bushy small plant, growing to a foot or more indoors. A purple-leafed variety, Dark Opal is decorative, makes a lovely houseplant, and is equally useful in cookery. Do not let basil bloom, or it will go to seed. Instead, pinch out the plant tops and they will grow into compact little bushes. Basil is an annual and grows 12 24 inches (30 60 cm) as the height varies according to the variety. Cultivation requirements for growing basil: full sun; light, well-drained, nutrient rich, slightly acidic soil; frequent watering (dont waterlog); will not tolerate cold; pinch off flower stalks for a longer season of leaf production. Basil can be easily started from seed or can be brought indoors at the end of the growing season. If you are bringing basil indoors, choose the most robust plants. Before the first frost, dig them out of the garden and pot them up in fresh potting soil. Basil can also be grown in pots outdoors and treated the same way when bringing them in for winter. Check for insects and if there is an infestation, spray with a soap and water spray. Gradually reverse the hardening off process by keeping the pots out of direct sunlight for about a week. The plants will become acclimatised to the lower light conditions they will experience indoors. Bring them inside and provide the conditions they need to continue growing. Basil requires at least five hours of sunlight a day to stay healthy and flavourful. If you are growing basil on the windowsill, turn regularly to ensure every side receives light. Dont let basil leaves touch the cold glass. Basil grows even better under fluorescent lights in the winter. Hang the lights 6 inches (15 cm) from plants and leave lights on for 14 hours a day. There are many cultivars of basil. Two that are particularly popular are: O. basilicum Dark Opal- only herb to win the All American Award of Excellence can be used the same as sweet basil; O. basilicum Citriodorum- strong lemon scent nice for tea and with chicken and fish. In the garden, basil can be planted with tomatoes as it helps to overcome both insects and disease. Basil also repels flies and mosquitoes. In the kitchen, use basil in tomato dishes (both raw and cooked), pesto, sauces, salad dressings, soups, fish dishes, mushroom dishes, egg and rice dishes, mixed with other herbs, omelettes, pasta dishes, vegetables such as carrots, eggplant, cabbage, squash, and zucchini. Use fresh leaves in salads and add fresh leaves to vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Basil can be used fresh, frozen, or dried. Use basil with discretion, as it is one of the few herbs that increase in flavour when heated. Gwen Nyhus Stewart, B.S.W., M.G., H.T., is an educator, freelance writer, garden consultant, and author of the book The Healing Garden: A Place Of Peace Gardening For The Soil, Gardening For The Soul and the booklet Non-toxic Alternatives For Everyday Cleaning And Gardening Products.

College Search Help - Find the Right College for You
By Eugena Anthony If you are involved in the college search process then you probably know just how frustrating it can be searching through the thousands of schools that are available. There are several criteria that you should consider before you apply to any college or university. It is important to research and decide on a college major. The whole purpose of a college education is to prepare you for your future career. Choosing a career will help you narrow down your college choices since every school offers a different choice of majors and course selections. You may even find that some colleges and universities specialize in your particular area of interest. There are many characteristics of college campuses that may or may not appeal to you. You might prefer to attend a university in an urban, suburban, or rural setting. A decision can also be made on going to a school in state, out of state, or even studying abroad. Some people may want to explore the option of attending a historically black college, single sex school, or a faith-based university. If you are planning to live on the campus of the school that you will attend, then you need to explore your housing options. Check to see if the dorms are mixed or single sex. Find out if the dorms have private, shared, or community bathrooms. Some schools only have on-campus housing for freshman so you may need to look into the availability of nearby apartments. You could use the admissions requirements of the colleges and universities that you consider to help further narrow your choices. You should choose a couple of schools in which you more than meet the qualifications and requirements. Also consider schools that you believe could accept you and even a school or two that you feel is beyond your reach because they could say yes to you. Figure out how you will finance your education and if the tuition cost is feasible. Search out scholarships and education grants. Decide if you could or even should take on a job while going to school. If you need to take out student loans make sure that the amount you borrow is worth the education that you will receive. You don't want to graduate and have to pay off $100,000 or more in loans with a $25,000 a year career. You should take a tour of each of your college choices. Try to sit in on a class if possible. If you plan to live on-campus you should stay in (or at least visit) a dorm and eat in the cafeteria. Tour the library, computer labs, student center, bookstore and other campus facilities. Ask if you can talk to a couple of students to get their view on attending the school. After fully researching all of these criteria you should discuss your choices with a parent, spouse, or someone else whose opinion you trust. You should apply to at least five schools or more to increase the chance that you get into at least one school. There are fees for each application that you submit. If you have financial need then you may qualify for fee waivers though every school does not accept them. These steps do not ensure that you will find the perfect school. They should however aid you in your college search and help you make a more informed decision. Eugena Anthony created College Search Engines and More to help prospective college students with the college search process. Visit http://www.college-search-engines-and-more.com/College-Search-Help.html for advice on selecting a major, financing your education, and several other criteria that can help you make an informed college choice.

7 Qualities of a Good Husband
By Edward Welch Looking for a potential husband - maybe you're looking to improve the one to whom you're married? Perhaps you're a husband looking to improve yourself? Regardless of your reason, wouldn't the following qualities be a good place to start? 7) Handy - Guys, are you handy - what is handy? Handy is when you take action to solve a problem, handy is when you change a light bulb without complaint, handy is when you take out the garbage (your idea, not hers). Wives like for their husbands to be handy - it's not hard, be part of the solution - not the problem. 6) Provision Oriented - Please don't get excited - this isn't about the husband making all the money. Its an attitude to help your wife fill in gaps. She can't do everything - so help her! Is she busy with the kids - give up 10 minutes of the ballgame and clean dishes, fold laundry, or whatever. You don't even need to be all that big of a help - you just need to show you're trying. 5) Humility - Nobody likes an arrogant man - there's no place for it in marriage. Show humility - when you're wrong - admit it and do so with humility. She'll probably be shocked and her reaction might be unpredictable - but inside she'll glow with admiration. 4) Adaptability - Guys, marriage is an ever changing world and you've got to adapt favorably to those changes or you'll find yourself wondering what you're doing and how you got there. If you look closely at your wife - filtering out years of environmentally induced behavioural changes - you'll see that glowing woman you fell in love with years ago. Let me explain further - my love and feelings toward my wife have not changed since the day we married. However, our relationship has changed as a necessity to those changes around us. Time constraints, needs of children, financial obligations, etc. each require a level of effort that takes time away from our relationship. No longer do we have the luxury of hours to spend alone together. You're success as a husband will largely be dependent on your attitude toward the adaptations required by life. Lastly, don't let the tail wag the dog - don't let your feelings toward life's changes affect feelings toward your wife - leave this to your heart. 3) Sensitivity - You can forget what you learned in high school - most women aren't looking for a husband who never cries. A sensitive husband perceives the needs of his wife and looks to meet them. Sensitivity toward your wife will open doors of communication and intimacy you never thought possible. Try it, get that chip off your shoulder and show her some sensitivity. 2) Faithfulness / Loyalty - Show her you're in it for the long haul (notice I said show her). How can you show someone you're faithful and loyal? Do you follow through with your commitments - however small they might be? Are you honest with your wife? Do you keep her up to date on your activities? Do you include her in your world? She's interested - show her it's not just about you - its about her as well and you'll reap the benefits of her security. 1) Good Listener - This might be the biggest challenge for husbands. You see, by nature, men are usually productive oriented and women are usually more relational. Men often make the mistake of trying to solve their wife's "problems". She doesn't want you to solve anything - she wants you to listen (really listen) and show her that you truly are interested in what she says. She wants you to feel what she feels and live what she lives. When you learn to truly listen to your wife and keep your mouth shut - your marriage will blossom.

By Terry Blackburn Growing Chicory Chicory is grown as a salad crop and is forced in the dark. This particular chicory should not be confused with the Magdeburg chicory that has thick roots, which are roasted and blended with coffee, nor is it the form that is found in hedgerows and herbaceous borders. Soil Preparation Chicory does best in soil that is rich, light and loamy but can be grown in other soil if it is well manured and enriched with organic matter during the spring. The ground should be forked over lightly then trodden firm, an application of fish manure is then added with 6 per cent potash content at 3 oz. (90g) to the sq. yd. Give a lime dressing 6 oz. (180g) to the sq. yd., if the soil is not already chalky. Sowing It is generally sown in May in the north but June in the south. Sow the seed thinly in drills 1 in. (25mm) deep in rows that are 1 ft. (45cm) apart. About three weeks after sowing begin to thin out the seedlings so that they have 1 ft. (30cm) between each plant. General Care Keep down the weeds with a hoe and to ensure that the surface soil is fine to deter weeds.
The roots are lifted in October, November and December for forcing. Store the roots in a frost proof shed and in the following few weeks force a few at a time. Forcing To force the chicory, cut off the tops to within an inch of the crown; then pot up 2 to 3 in. (50mm-76mm) apart in any fine soil. This is best done by inserting about 4 roots, to an 8 in. (203mm) pot with the crowns 1 in. (25mm) above the soil. The pots need to be kept at a constant temperature of 50 deg F. (10 deg C.) Place an upturned pot of the same size over the top but the drainage hole of this pot must be bunged up to prevent any light entering. The point of this is to encourage the plants to grow again so that they produce fine hearts of pale leaves, known as "chicons". Wait until these are about 6 in. long then cut them for they will be ready to use; this period of forcing will take about 3 to 5 weeks. To maintain a succession of "chicons" over the winter, pot a dozen or so roots every week. If the roots are left in the pots after cutting, they will throw up more leaves but these will not have a heart, even so they can still be used. However after two cuttings the roots will be finished.

What Is A Deposition and Will I Have To Testify?
By Gerry Oginski Q: What is a deposition, and will I have to testify at a deposition? A: First, a deposition is a question and answer session where you will swear (or affirm) to tell the truth. The questions and answers are recorded by a Court stenographer, who will later transcribe all of the questions and answers into a booklet. If you are bringing a lawsuit for injuries you or your loved one suffered then you will be required to testify about your knowledge of the events and your knowledge of the injuries. You will also be asked questions about how those injuries have affected you (or your loved one) and what treatment you've received to treat those injuries. The attorney(s) for the people you have sued will be questioning you, usually in my office. Sometimes, because of an inability to travel, we can accomodate the injured victim and conduct the deposition closer to their home. Naturally, I will be there with you every step of the way. Prior to your 'deposition' you will meet with me, either on the day you are scheduled to be asked questions, or on a scheduled day before the deposition. During that meeting, I will prepare you extensively about what you can expect will be asked of you by the other attorney(s). By the time we have finished our meeting, you will be aware of practically all the types of questions you will likely be asked by our adversaries. During the deposition, if you have any questions or concerns, we can take a break and discuss them in the privacy of my office. Once your deposition session is finished, you can expect to receive a copy of the booklet that contains all of the questions and answers asked and given. You will also receive special instructions about how you must review the transcript for any errors, and what to do if you find factual or typgraphical errors. On another date, I will have an opportunity to then question the 'defendant' (the party that you have sued) to determine from them what happened and why. You are welcome to attend the defendant's deposition with me, however there are some instances where I will advise against being there, and in some instances I will encourage the client to accompany me. Attorney Oginski has been in practice for over 16 years as a trial lawyer practicing exclusively in the State of New York. Having his own law firm, he is able to provide the utmost in personalized, individualized attention to each and every client. In our office, a client is not a file number. Client's are always treated with the respect they deserve and expect from a professional. Mr. Oginski is always aware of every aspect of a client's case from start to finish. Gerry represents injured people in injury cases and medical malpractice matters in Brooklyn, Queens, New York City, the Bronx, Staten Island, Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Patio Umbrellas
By Damian Sofsian Patio umbrellas help one enjoy the outdoors on a regular basis without overexposure to the elements. They shield from all the rigors of sun, wind, thunderstorm, pesky insects and even bird intrusions. They offer the perfect combination of sunlight and shade, fresh air and uncluttered space. Known as patio, garden or market umbrellas, they are used by amusement parks, hotels, motels, resorts, restaurants, cafes, rental outlets, outdoor kitchens and domestic consumers. Patio umbrellas come in many shapes, colors and sizes. Round, square, octagonal, rectangular or even side-post, market umbrella sizes vary from 6 feet to 13 feet with or without tilt facilities. They can accommodate 4 people or a larger group, depending on the patio space dimensions. Patio umbrellas can be simple roof protection, or like a tent (for greater privacy), or more up-market in design, with the entire patio enclosed in glass. They can be operated with a simple lever, a basic push-up system, a crank handle, dual pulley rope assembly or an electric auto lift. Retractable awnings are a great alternative for selective usage according to wayward weather patterns. The poles and framework can be of stained hardwood, pure ash, mahogany and teak, heavy-duty powder-coated steel or anodized rustproof aluminum with an antique bronze finish. Thick polycanvas canopies work best but other choices are mildew-resistant polyester, synthetic thatch or dyed and lacquered acrylic fabric for fade resistance and easy cleaning. Scotchguard-coated canopies resist stains, rain, sleet or snow, and can be easy to maintain. Wind vents are provided for stability and cool air circulation. Installation can be simple or complex, usually against a solid wall or buildings faade. Costs vary for a simple, do-it-yourself, stand-alone cover or a permanent enclosure that calls for a larger investment. Some patio umbrella models come with intricate light features where the wiring is built into the umbrella framework. Some embedded light systems come with continuous, chase, alternating and random settings. Low-voltage electric adaptors are also provided. Before installing a patio umbrella it is good to get estimates from local dealers and match them against your patio requirements. Warranties range from one year to the 5-year life span of an average patio umbrella. Extras that are thrown in include matching carry bags, and/or replaceable canvas or frames, lights, torches, mosquito netting or fabric cleaners. Some canopies require bases for additional stability, which come in granite, cast iron or even bases with wheels. To extend its life, close the umbrella canopy when not required, ensure it is regularly cleaned and spray it with UV umbrella protectant. Shade out all the extremities, snuggle up with a book, and laze under your cozy canopy for life.
