Breast Enlargement Products are Scams

By Gabe Mirkin, M.D. Don't waste your money on creams or pills that are supposed to enlarge your breasts. Eighty-five percent of a woman's breast is fat, so the only way to make your breasts larger is to make you fatter, but most women don't want to gain weight. The female hormone, estrogen, stimulates breast fat to grow, but it can only be stimulated so much. A woman whose body does not produce adequate amounts of estrogen will have her breasts enlarged by taking more estrogen, even in a cream; but estrogen cream will not grow larger breasts in normal women. Various devices that claim to enlarge your breasts with suction are nonsensical. They may cause swelling or water retention temporarily, but the effects will quickly disappear. Since breasts do not contain muscles, they cannot be enlarged by exercising, but you can do exercises to enlarge the pectoralis muscles underneath the breasts. This will push the breasts slightly forward and may make them appear larger. You can use a special weight machine called a pec dec, where you sit with your elbows bent in front of you and bring your elbows together while pressing against resistance. Start with one set of ten, gradually increase to three sets of ten, and when that becomes easy, increase the weight.

So You've Retired With Plenty Of Money - Now What? Wealth Management Solutions In Retirement

By Keith Springer Okay, you are one of the lucky ones, making a killing in real estate and the stock market, or you have scrimped and saved so some day you hope to have a big enough nest egg to retire. Congratulations! Youve done it. Now what? Financial planning has historically focused on helping people achieve major financial goals such as saving and investing in order to retire comfortably, sending kids to college or buying that private island in the south pacific. But what about retirees, who, for the most part, have already achieved their goals and simply want to preserve their way of life? Life changes when you are living your goals rather than aspiring toward them. Suddenly, you have more to lose than to gain and you want to know how to keep what you have. Building and generating wealth is no longer the most important thing in this stage of life, but preservation of wealth is vital. With more Americans approaching this phase of life, the issue of how to manage money within retirement is increasingly becoming a priority. Consider these statistics: The largest growing population segment in our country is people 100 years or older. Within the next decade, most of the boomers will reach traditional retirement age. About 25% of the U.S. population--one in four people--will be retired. Many of us will spend more years in retirement than we did working. Yet when you search on the internet for retirement help, youll find page after page almost exclusively focused on making money and building wealth for retirement rather than managing wealth in retirement. No one seems to be educating retirees about managing their income and developing the right distribution strategies. Estate planning is well coveredprobably because its a goal to provide money to heirs. But helping retirees to manage the money they have today, while they are still in retirement, is conspicuously absent in most financial education efforts. From our experience in educating our clients for retirement, there are seven key areas where retirees need both financial education and financial planning in order to protect and preserve wealth: Money management. Managing your monthly expenses to ensure they are not forced to take large distributions from their retirement nest eggs to meet current obligations. Cleaning up the nest. Out of site, out of mind is far too often the mantra for retirees. However, a failure to organize can be disastrous later on. Pull together all those retirement accounts: IRAs (yes, some folks do forget about older IRAs they have), old 401ks from previous employers, annuities etc. review and consolidates. Roll-over that 401k to your IRA, which is almost always in your best interest. Make sure the right information, such as beneficiaries are on the accounts and they are set up directly. Once you or your spouse dies, its too late. Distribution planning. Planning distributions to ensure that you are not taking too much or too little from their retirement accounts, minimizing tax liability, and meeting Required Minimum Distribution amounts. Managing your money and continuing to accumulate assets. Now that retirees are living longer, their nest eggs must last longer. The old paradigm of becoming more conservative in retirement can sometimes backfire if retirees become too conservative and stop growing their assets. It is important to make sure that they are continuing to grow their nest egg to at least keep pace with their distribution needs and to outpace inflation and taxes. Protecting wealth. This is the area where retirees get the most attentionin the form of estate and insurance planning. However, they typically get their information from different sources and there is much inaccurate or misleading information as to how to set up wills, trusts, and charitable giving programs and what type of insurance policies are appropriate based on their personal circumstances. Also, insurance and estate planning tend to be viewed separately, when in reality both are tools to protect wealth and often to minimize taxes. Establishing your legacy. For high net worth folks, certain other challenges exist to ensure that your estate survives you: Pre-managing your estate tax liability so the kids wont have to sell off your assets such as the business or the farm to pay the bill; setting up Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT); establishing a family limited partnership or LLC; other (vehicles that are not even invested yet) Managing the Ultimate Distribution. This is the most dangerous area and, not surprising the most confusing and overlooked. Careful consideration must be paid to not only saving and investing your money, but on the proper mechanics on how the assets need to be held in order to maximize your income distribution through your retirement. The tax laws are changing all the time, sometimes drastically as with the Pension Protection Act of 2006, so educate yourself early and often Your financial security can not be left to chance, especially in your golden years. Just because youve achieved financial security, does not mean your financial planning is over. You can spend a lifetime updating yourself on the subject, so you have two choices: be the expert or hire one. It does no good to spend your life saving and investing wisely only to give it all back to Uncle Sam! After all, its what you and your loved ones keep, that counts. Keith W.

Our First Family

By Jonita Johnson Genesis 1:26 Let us make man in our image. Man made in love, beauty, and intelligence, man made for intimate fellowship with God his Father. God made Adam then Eve The very 1st family, and it was GOOD. All things were created for man. He had dominion over all things living and growing. God had only given man one limitation. Adam apparently wasnt the greatest communicator, and Eve had so much going on with her gardening and all the animals, her listening skills apparently werent as tuned into him as they should have been. And neither apparently used the reasoning skills they were endowed with. So, one day because they didnt use their mutual skills, Eve fell for the okey-doke of one Satan the serpent (aka: tempter (tress), Lucifer, the wanna-be god, busybody, Loser, etc). Surely you know the kind. Anyway, Satan came at her with a challenge. The challenge to break the limit God had put on them to not eat of the tree of good and evil. Satan challenged their view of God to be right or wrong, he challenged the Word of God as a lie, and the ultimate challenge to them that they would not die; but instead they would be gods too knowing good and evil. Remember everything was good, except for Satan. He was all set to wreak havoc on the perfect world that God created. Adam and Eve had everything at their fingertips for the picking. What Satan showed Eve looked so good, smelled pretty, sounded so sensible, and seemed so innocent she went for his line. Adam followed Eve. They made a choice. Choices, as we now know, have rewards or consequences. Our 1st. family was about to learn their first lesson about independent living, not heeding the promises of God who loves them. Well Adam and Eve had their way, did the forbidden thing, and immediately their eyes were truly open. They knew that they were wrong. They were scared. For the first time Adam and Eve experienced fear. Their loving relationship with Father God was in question. They realized for the first time they were vulnerable. They stood naked facing each other and knew the shame of what they had done, and just how helpless and defenseless they really were. So they tried to hide themselves. Again mistakenly, they thought they could hide from God too. Weve played that game too hide and seek. As God did every evening He came to visit His kids. Adam, Adam where are you? He knew all the time, but dads who love dont just drop their kids because they are wrong. He sought them out, even though He knew what they did and where they were. Adam and Eve were in trouble. They wanted things their way out of Gods law, able to experiment. There is a price to pay when we live outside of God's coverage. Father God could have destroyed them, right then, and started all over again. But instead He gave them a chance to come clean about what happened. Adam answered. I heard you, but I was afraid, cause I was naked so I hid myself. Adam, who told you that you were naked? Adam did you eat of the tree I commanded you not to eat of? Now the blame game starts. Adam answers, The woman you gave me she gave it to me. God asks Eve, What have you done? Eve is thinking, Im not taking the whole rap for this. She answers, The serpent deceived me, and I did eat. Then God said to the serpent, because you have caused this mess, you are cursed and there will be hostility between you and the woman, and her seed will bruise your head. To the woman He said He would greatly multiply her sorrow, and her husband would rule over her. To the man who had dominion over all things; God said to the man, because I commanded you not to eat of the fruit; the ground is cursed because of your doing; the land will be thorny and hard to till, hard to harvest. You will labor hard to eat of it until you die. From dust you came, to dust you will return. But God allowed them to live. In His love for them He made skins to cover their nakedness. But the 1st family had to leave the garden. They had to leave that safe, beautiful and secure place that their Father had created for them. God gave them what they thought they wanted - independence. Today we are still drawn away from our Father for the allurement of pretty, more knowledge, being gods in one way or another. We are still subject to our curiosity, to our need for independence, self-rule. God gives us what we want; but just as Adam and Eve did, we will always pay the cost to be the boss. Adam and Eve, the 1st family were the groundwork for our society today. The plan of God for family was and is today to be indivisible, united, strong, in belief and actions. We have the choice today to make our homes strong and safe. To teach values that an intruder/family-crasher cannot come in and easily deceive. We have an opportunity still to live in the presence of God and to live in His perfect will for our family. When families are united as God intended them to be, it is hard for outside forces to come between them. We can learn from the experiences of Adam and Eve. Gods plan was for them and us to grow and prosper in His love and provision for us. When we as families put God first, teaching our children the laws of God, and living in the purpose that God created each of us for We are strong. Families are the foundation that communities are built around. Take God our Father out of family we have chaos; limited values, diminishing respect for ourselves and others; kids killing parents, grown folks raping children, lies; deception used to benefit self. Without the value centered family communities do not turn into nations with purpose; and a nation without purpose is lost. Keep our families strong and follow Gods command: Deuteronomy 4:5-9. See I have taught you rules and laws as the Lord my God has commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to possess. Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about these rules and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to Him? And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous rules and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today? Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. Let us remain one nation, one community, one family as in the words in our Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America We are one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. And as our money states let us so put into action by building our families believe In God We Trust.

Designing Your Sofa Direct

By Darren Dunner Sofas are certainly an important part of any home's furniture. They can provide your home with a very rich, classy and dignified look. Without a proper sofa set, no house looks complete even with enormous furniture. Sofas add a lot of dignity and style to any room, especially to the drawing hall. Without a good sofa set the furniture in the house is not going to be complete in any culture and in any type of home. Sofas became an integral part and an essential part in almost all types of houses. Different types of sofas: There are different types of sofas available in the market place. Leather sofas, Sectional sofas, Custom designed sofas and many more. Each of them has got their own specialty and can provide a very different look to the rooms in which they are placed. Buying Online: To buy such an important piece of furniture, there is no need of even going to a furniture shop. You can buy sofas direct on the internet. There are so many stores on the internet that are offering almost all varieties of sofas in all the shapes and colors. These stores are far better than any of your nearest furniture stores. Shopping online for your sofas direct is going to reduce the amount of time you have to spend on shopping quite dramatically. Fear of Shipping Costs: Normally, people are afraid of online shopping because they think that the costs that are attached to the shipping fee are quite high.

Confessions of a Candle Junkie

By Angela Montondo I had never really thought about the ingredients in the innumerable candles that have made their way into my home over the years. I just knew that I absolutely loved the smell, and that they relaxed me in a way that rivaled even a vintage cabernet. My blissfully ignorant state of mind continued until the day that I began making those candles. My first candles were paraffin, and they smelled absolutely incredible! But why the ugly black soot around the rim? If that soot was so visible to the naked eye, what was I breathing in? As a nurse I am always conscious of environmental components that can have a damaging effect on our health. I began to research and found that paraffin is derived from crude oil, and emits eleven toxins currently documented by The American Lung Association. Well that explained it! I began working on a new formulation that consisted of a natural wax that comes from renewable sources. It burns cleaner, and is biodegradable unlike its paraffin counterparts, making it somewhat safe for disposal in landfills. One of the most important aspect of natural wax? It stimulates our economy, because its produced right here in the United States of America. Choosing to purchase candles made from a natural wax is one way that we can choose a healthier life style without giving up the scents that we love so much.

A Good Recipe For An Ad to Produce Higher Yields? A Bakers Dozen Ingredients For Effective Ads!

By Glenn Ebersole What ingredients make an effective ad that produces higher yields? After thinking about this, I thought of thirteen (a bakers dozen for the non-bakers in the audience) essential ingredients for an effective high yielding ad. Here are the thirteen ingredients. 1. Determine the objective or desired outcome for the ad. 2. Always seek the name, email address, postal address and telephone number for responses to the ad. 3. Develop a compelling headline for the ad. 4. Present at least two of your competitive advantages in the ad. 5. Use the word FREE in the ad. It is the most powerful word in marketing. 6. Use a photo of a real person in the ad. Studies have shown a higher response to ads with close up photos that show the eyes of real people. 7. Refer to frustration and/or pain in the ad that will be reduced, relieved or removed by what you are advertising. 8. Present the benefits, rather than the features of the product or service being advertised in the ad. 9. Provide a risk free offer in the ad. 10. Present a specific call to action in the ad. 11. Make it very easy and simple to respond to the ad (e.g. phone call or visit a web site). 12. Create a sense of urgency to respond by including a real or artificial deadline in the ad. 13. Include a tracking process to measure the effective yield of the ad.

Ten Ways I Dropped And Kept Off 30 Pounds

By Fitzgerald Trevis Scott No chicken skin. Yes it tastes delicious, like manna from heaven especially fried chicken skin but it's full of cholesterol and plain old fat. I love it as much as you do but it's a no-no. Death to birthday cake, red meat and eating out. I often try to answer how it is I went from thin to fat. I ate basically the same way before and after I started gaining weight. What was it that caused the massive increase? To the best of my understanding it was a triumvirate of evil, eating out several times a week, frequent office birthdays and birthday cake and pizza and soda etc. etc. and eating steaks several times a week. Each of this brotherhood of evil played their role in adding inches all over my body. Before you eat, drink. Apparently we can get hunger and thirst mixed up. Make sure you aren't eating when you should be drinking, just take a sip and see how you feel. Also with respect to number 7 below, even if you really are hungry give yourself a buffer against overeating by having something to drink before you start. Feel free to wear a hole in the carpet thinking. I used to think it was weird, my infrequent desire to walk around the house in circles thinking about something that had charged me up but it works. Here I am all excited about some new idea and I walk around and around running through different possibilities in my head. Sometimes I come up with a solution that's exciting enough for me to walk some more but at the end of the day it's good exercise regardless. Pump the music up. Keeping your radio on an up tempo music station can help you burn calories right in your seat. Play a little air guitar, bob your head and keep your spirits up. Each burst of activity adds up throughout the day. Find that outdoor thing that just gets you excited. For me it was riding a bike, I l-o-v-e-d it, the most fun ever. The wind was whipping past my face and I could try little wheelies and moves. Always be safety conscious though, I went out and bought my pads and a helmet for around $12 US I believe. Toss your platter and use a tiny bowl or saucer even. Do you realize that apparently it takes 20 minutes for your fat cells to tell your brain that you're full? A whole twenty minutes after they're good that's when your brain gets the message. By that time many of us could have eaten two more meals already. My point here is this, if you delay the amount of time you take to eat until you are full, by having to go back for seconds and thirds your brain is more likely to get the message before you've eaten too much. Also, regardless of how full they are, people are more likely than not to eat everything in front of them, so if you take out a lot of food, you're probably going to eat all of it, even when you aren't hungry anymore. Weigh yourself, How else are you supposed to know if you should keep doing what you're doing or try harder or try something else altogether. Like managing anything, if you don't get feedback what's the point of trying. Try driving your car blindfolded and see how far you get safely. Exactly, so pay attention to what direction your weight is going in otherwise you might be going the wrong way or nowhere at all. Don't take the shortcut, Ban yourself from the elevator, don't park close to the building entrance or if you are like me don't ride the golf carts around campus. They were really very fun to drive and so convenient but they completely undermined my goals, It isn't just the calories that you burn by walking it's the muscles you build that keep burning calories even when you aren't doing anything. Muscles earn weight loss "interest" for you on your initial investment in getting them. How cool is that? Think about it, At least one study indicated that just by regularly thinking about activities such as running, jumping and cycling you can build up muscle strength. It is also sure to motivate you to actually start and continue your exercise goals. I used each of these methods to differing degrees to lose 30 lbs.

Bamboo Fly Rods - A Timeless Tradition

By Margarette Tustle You have probably seen or used bamboo fly rods if you know a fly-fisherman or if you are a fly- fisherman. In a throw-back to a simpler time, bamboo fly rods are still just as popular today as they were a hundred years ago. You can find brand new ones online or beautiful antique models on the popular antique show on public television. With all of the new and just as durable materials on the market like fiberglass, graphite, and others, why would someone want one of the simple bamboo fly rods? The answer probably lies somewhere between tradition and quality. Understanding Fly Fishing Before you understand fly rods, you will need to have an understanding of fly-fishing. Fly-fishing is done by waving the rod back and forth smoothly through the air and then letting the line out at just the right moment for gravity and force to cast it out into the water at the perfect spot. Bamboo fly rods must be flexible, lightweight, and have a sensitive touch-this is what they make them perfect. Bamboo rods have been around for almost as long as fishing has been around. If you do an online search you can find not only information about bamboo fly rods, but how to care for them, how to make them, where to buy them, and you can even find antique rods for sale-some that were made before the first World War. The antique rods are not usually for use, but they would be a treasured part of any serious fly-fishermans collection. How To Find Bamboo Rods If you want to make your own bamboo fly rods there are several places that you can purchase the different pieces that you will need including the line guides, the pole pieces, the ferrules (the metal caps on the ends of the each pole piece that act as connectors), the cork grips and the reel as well. You should take special care when choosing a finish. The finish on bamboo fly rods should be durable and flexible and should withstand water damage. Once you have the parts, you can find instructions for putting it together in one of the many books or websites available online. But, if the do-it-yourself route is not your style, you can purchase bamboo fly rods online. There are models that range from a simple pole with a hook on the end for as little as five dollars-and there are deluxe models with all of the bells and whistles that can run several hundred dollars. Some people might want to take an old rod and refinish it. While this can be a fun and rewarding activity, it may cost more to restore some rods than they are worth especially if they are cracked. Caring For Your Fly Rod Caring for bamboo fly rods takes time and precision. If they are not cared for properly they will quickly decay and rot. Clean and dry the wood after each use and use furniture polish occasionally. The ferrules should also be kept free of debris and can be cleaned with denatured alcohol, Vaseline, or lighter fluid. The cork grips can be cleaned with toothpaste and a soft brush or dish soap or a cleaner that has bleach in it. Be careful not to remove any small pieces of cork. As the cork begins to get old it should be replaced. Margarette Tustle writes ideas for home and family. Find bamboo resources at msbamboo.com.
