Okay - I've twisted his arm, but I honestly think it will be fascinating! Martin Toner, golf guru and mind-man will visit us on the morning of Tuesday, 21st of July for the next Juice session on balancing your work and your life. I've been aware for some time that the myriad of concerns - all the things that you have to do, and all the things that might possibly go wrong - can become paralysing for entrepreneurs. The mortgage payment competes with the technology prototype; the search for a plumber with the search for a funder, networking (IT) with networking(in person). If you stop to think about it all you might never get started again. And bizarrely, when I wondered what to do about this Martin popped into my head. You see, playing sport is a lot like this - when you stop to think you lose your momentum. And yet if you don't play smart, you will never be the best. Martin gets in the minds of athletes and helps them to do both - think, be smart, but don't get paralysed. Hope I'm not overselling it but really looking forward to the 21st.

Ladies and gentlemen the class of '99:
Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blind side you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't know.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave it before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess around too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Hi, I am Dominic Tay and I used to work for others part-time. Chances are you have not heard of me or my story of how I make money from home before. But when you finish reading this, you'll be glad you finally did.
You see - back then, I didn't know anything about website marketing, website traffic or article marketing - I'm just a very 'average' 20-year-old employee drawing a decent income. But after a while, I found myself unhappy and unsatisfied with what I was doing. Maybe this happened to you before?
I started hopping around looking for the 'ideal' work. First attempt, salesman. Bad choice. I quit the second day after realizing the huge amount of work I had to do. (A pity I didn't know how to make money from home yet...so I continued to look for offline work) Then, I took up a data entry job. No luck. I found myself dozing off at work and walking home like a zombie.
Then I started looking for opportunities online. It wasn't easy... I had to learn everything from scratch about website marketing, how to drive website traffic (and that's when I started mastering article marketing).
Fast forward 1 year, I'm now a work from home business owner helping other online marketers increase their online profits.

I recently heard the argument again that all senior pastors must personally visit all church members and do outreach as well. It brought back memories of the expectations of some of the people I have served in the past.

While the pastor is never exempt from the requirement to make personal visits, this expectation does have its roots in smaller churches.

The pastor is a representative of God. When people need God, it is comforting to receive a visit from the one who represents God to them. The personal touch, and personal relationship, are very effective in ministry. Most pastors love to do visitation because it is so rewarding. It is the way true ministry takes place, one on one.

There is a segment of society that will always prefer the personal attention and relationship with the one who carries the title "Pastor." For that reason, there will always be a need for small churches. Some believe that mega-churches in America have just about run their course. The future may see an explosion in the number of small churches, church planting, or even house churches. These small groups consider themselves a "church" and use that title along with the title of "Pastor" for their leader. Every person/member has more influence on the whole group and receives the personal attention of the pastor.

But in more populated areas or larger churches, it is impossible for the pastor to give personal attention to every member. It is debatable how many people a pastor can give personal attention to. But, I have always contended that it is unlikely that a church will break the 200 barrier if the pastor and/or the congregation expect the personal attention of the pastor on a regular basis. It is obvious that Pastor Joel Osteen, Pastor Jetezen Franklin, or Pastor John Hagee could never visit every member even once each year -- it is an impossibility. There are not enough hours in the day nor days in the year.

The churches and pastors who struggle most with this issue are those who attempt to transition from small church to large church. People's expectations are hard to change. "It's always been this way." That is why most churches in America never break the 200 barrier. They don't want to. Change is hard and people don't like it. If a pastor attempts to be a change agent and lead the church in growth, the congregational culture will have to change first, or the church will find a new pastor who will continue in the old ways which they desire. The problem with this attachment to the ways of the past is that in order to keep the church small, it does not make room for the Harvest (the Great Commission work of winning the Lost - new people). If a congregation is truly involved in the Great Commission, baptisms will be happening every week, pews fill up, and attendance grows.

I joking call this year my "2009 World Tour", but to be more accurate it is more like "2009 US Tour"! That's right in 12 weeks I am going to have been in 7 different states doing workshops and conferences. It is very exciting even though it is also completely exhausting. Especially because it most cases when Monday hits I am right back in the gym!

I am not one to complain, ok, not TOO much! Mostly because it has been so cool to see the responses people have had to the Sandbag Fitness Systems program. It is great to see people's eyes light up when they see the program in action. This is probably because it is so drastically different than what everyone is doing! I can say that confidently because I have been a witness to what some of the biggest names and programs in the industry are doing, and guess what? These are the same people that are most excited when they see the Sandbag Fitness Program (SFS).

I know, what are you missing out on? I will give you some of the secrets.

One of the biggest benefits is that I am able to show people what true functional training is really all about. The cool thing about the SFS program is that it can accomplish fitness and performance goals. Heck, it can do it by itself if you really wanted. In many situations coaches have to switch apparatuses depending if they are doing strength, speed, power, core, or movement training. It is amazing that you can simply change the weight or size of bag and accomplish everything with this program. Yes, you can train to be stronger, faster, more agile, greater endurance, and be more flexible!

I know Josh, that sounds like more senseless and silly internet marketing! I couldn't agree more, however, don't take my word for it, check out what the Indiana Football State Champs have to say!

"I recently purchased two Ultimate Sandbags for our high school football team's off-season training. The players are use to using free weights and a few specialty machines, a power runner and a power thruster. When I first introduced the sandbags to supplement the work they were accustom to doing with free weights, they thought it was going to be a piece of cake. After all the bags only weight 50 and 70 pounds each. These guys are use to moving 200 to 300 pounds regularly. They were quite surprised at how challenging a sandbag can be. After a few sets there was a lot of huffing and puffing.

Cardinal Ritter High School of Indianapolis is a small private school without a lot of money to spend on equipment. The couple of hundred dollars I spent on the Ultimate Sandbags will pay bigger dividends than machines costing thousands of dollars and when the weather is nice enough for us to move outside the bags will come with us while the machines stay inside.

Thanks for all the ideas and information that you continually share with your customers. It has been a big help for me and the team.

By the way, Cardinal Ritter is the 2008 Indiana State Champs and we do not intent to rest on our laurels."
Larry Timko

Not all movements are equal, if they were it would be great to spend all day doing biceps curls. However, we know that big movements stimulate more muscles and more anabolic hormones (ok, you get more buff when you do them!). When people see that you can do snatches and cleans with the sandbags they get pscyhed! After all, they are far more difficult with a sandbag than any other piece of equipment. Yet, the biggest surprise comes when people see shouldering, half moon snatches, split cleans/snatches, overhead chops, and the far great movements that create a more athletic, incorporate more muscles, and just yield better results.

Results however, can come in many forms. One can be just getting people out of pain!! Pain is often the biggest demotivator and when people get introduced to our pre and post-rehab programs they can't wait to start using these techniques. Yes, sandbags are not neccessarily just for intense strength training, but creating better movement and rehabbing injuries. Backs are especially amazing to heal with the SFS program.

Listen to what personal trainer Tony Tomich noticed implemented SFS program...

"I'm a Personal trainer, I use your Ultimate Sandbag System with all level clients male and female, athletes and stay at home moms, and all levels in between. All quickly realize the difficulty and benefits of incorporating sandbag training into their regular workouts. Its like nothing else ! After just a few workouts back problems are going away, improvement in all other areas of fitness are evident. Your sandbags have a permanent place at Real Life Personal Training. Rock On !"

How can you learn these techniques? Hey, the over 100 FREE videos online are a great place to start (http://www.youtube.com/user/SandbagFitness), but we are at more and more events. I hope you will check out the SFS program and see us at some of our events.

Oh, and don't miss out on seeing our first upcoming certifications coming in September!!!

Now that I am coming home expect more videos, cool new bags and so much more!!!

I am psyched about helping people improve their lives and I hope you will help me achieve this goal!

In Strength,

Ellman International, Inc. announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted clearance to Pelleve(TM), a skin tightening system for the nonablative treatment of mild to moderate facial wrinkles and rhytids for skin phototypes IIV. The clearance was granted based on clinical data demonstrating that a single treatment with the high frequency radiowave device can safely and effectively tighten and improve the appearance of skin on the face through six months.
Todays FDA clearance of the Pelleve system represents a very exciting step in the introduction of nextgeneration high frequency radiowave technology to physicians and patients in the United States, said Rick Epstein, CEO of Ellman International, Inc. Pelleve offers safe, noninvasive facial rejuvenation with no need for a local anesthetic and minimal discomfort a significant evolution from previousgeneration technologies in this class.
Pelleve uses the advanced radiowave technology of the Ellman International Surgitron(R) Dual RF(TM) S5 and a proprietary Pelleve handpiece to precisely deliver energy through the skin to the dermal tissue beneath without damaging the epidermis. This gentle heating of the deeper dermal tissue induces collagen denaturization and contraction. As the dermal tissue recovers, new collagen synthesis occurs, which creates a tightening effect. The result is a noticeable improvement in skin quality and appearance with minimal side effects and healing time for patients.
In a clinical trial conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Pelleve system, 83 women and 10 men were given a single treatment with the Pelleve handpiece. The procedure was performed in an ambulatory (outpatient) setting with no need for skin cooling products or anesthesia and took an average of 15 to 20 minutes, depending on size of the area. More than 87% of patients showed measurable and immediate positive results in a blinded assessment of skin laxity and wrinkle improvement with continued response at six months after treatment. Patients were typically able to return to work and social activities immediately after treatment. Of the study population, two patients experienced small abrasions that healed within three days.
Our research clearly demonstrates the power of the Pelleve Skin Tightening System. With a single Pelleve treatment, over 87% of our patients experienced an improvement in skin laxity and fewer overall facial wrinkles at six months. The Pelleve Skin Tightening System is an effective, noninvasive, economical and safe tool, said Dr. Antonio Rusciani, Division of Dermatology, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Rome in Rome, Italy.
Ellmans skin tightening technology has been marketed with a CE Mark in many countries since 2005 under the name Radiage. We have seen positive results in many patients outside of the United States. Because this unique technology does not require anesthesia or cooling of the skin during the procedure, the physician can safely achieve the look of lifted, tighter skin without surgery, resulting in a more youthful appearance for the patient, said Dr. Kai Rezai, a noted dermatologist and Radiage user from Munster, Germany.
Designed to work in conjunction with the Surgitron Dual RF S5 platform, Ellmans patented 4.0 MHz radiowave unit, Pelleve handpieces represent just one of hundreds of accessories available for office and clinic environments. The Surgitron Dual RF S5 provides maximum control in precision cutting and energy delivery, with more versatility than other energybased technologies. Ellmans proven product platform enables medical professionals to perform surgical procedures that produce less tissue damage and pain than the competition. Adding Pelleve offers tremendous value to physicians, as customers ask for the latest in cosmetic correction from their dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other healthcare professionals, said Epstein. Pelleve will be introduced to the U.S. market this month through dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ENTs and other cosmetic surgery clinics.

Table 1 and the chart indicate that for people retired at the age of 50, their average life span is 86; whereas for people retired at the age of 65, their average life span is only 66.8. An important conclusion from this study is that for every year one works beyond age 55, one loses 2 years of life span on average.

The Boeing experience is that employees retiring at age of 65 receive pension checks for only 18 months, on average, prior to death. Similarly, the Lockheed experience is that employees retiring at age of 65 receive pension checks for only 17 months, on average, prior to death. Dr. David T. Chai indicated that the Bell Labs experience is similar to those of Boeing and Lockheed based on the casual observation from the Newsletters of Bell Lab retirees. A retiree from Ford Motor told Dr. Paul Tien-Lin Ho that the experience from Ford Motor is also similar to those in Boeing and Lockheed.

The statistics shown in the Pre-Retirement Seminar in Telcordia (Bellcore) indicates that the average age that Telcordia (Bellcore) employees start retirement is 57. Therefore, people who retire at the age of 65 or older are minority as compared to the number of early retirees.

The hard-working late retirees probably put too much stress on their aging body-and-mind such that they are so stressed out to develop various serious health problems that forced them to quit and retire. With such long-term stress-induced serious health problems, they die within two years after they quit and retire.

On the other hand, people who take early retirements at the age of 55 tend to live long and well into their 80s and beyond. These earlier retirees probably are either wealthier or more able to plan and manage their various aspects of their life, health and career well such that they can afford to retire early and comfortably.

These early retirees are not really idling after their early retirements to get old. They still continue doing some work. But they do the work on the part-time basis at a more leisure pace so that they do not get too stressed out. Furthermore, they have the luxury to pick and chose the types of part-time work of real interest to them so that they can enjoy and love doing that work at a more leisure pace.

The late retirees are small in number, tend to die quickly after retirement and disappear from the population of old people beyond the age of 70. Late retirees, therefore, have very little weight on the statistical average life expectancy of the population of old people dominated by the early retirees.

Several years ago, a Japanese friend of mine told me that most Japanese people retire at the age of 60 or earlier. This may be one of the factors contributing to the long average life span of Japanese people.

3. Changing Trend of US Pension Plans

The traditional pension plans of many major US companies used to place a lot of value on the experience of long-term older employees by increasing the pension money rapidly and nonlinearly for long-term employees as their age + service year increases beyond the threshold of the rule of 75. Most long-term employees cross this critical threshold at about the age of 55. On the other hand, the early retirees incur very heavy penalty in pension and in other associated retiree benefits (e.g., employer paid medical insurance, employer paid life insurance, death benefits for family, etc.) when they retire before they meet the rule of 75.

However, in recent few years, many large US corporations are switching from their traditional retirement pension plans to the new portable Cash Balance Plans. The new portable cash balance plans are much more favorable to the younger employees but are very unfavorable to the long-term older employees. Some older long-term employees found that when their employers switched from the traditional pension plans to the cash balance plan, their pensions were reduced by 30% to 50%.

One of the implications of this trend towards the new cash balance plan is that the US corporations are now placing more value on the higher creativity and adaptability of younger employees and less value on the experience of the older employees. This is consistent with the accelerating pace of innovations and technology advances. The creative and dynamic younger employees are better positioned, than the older employees do, to keep up with the faster pace of technology advances.

4. Conclusion and Recommendations

The most precious, creative and innovative period in your life is the 10-year period around the age of 32. Plan your career path to use this precious 10-year period wisely and effectively to produce your greatest achievements in your life.

The pace of innovations and technology advances is getting faster and faster and is forcing everybody to compete fiercely at the Internet speed on the information super-highways. The highly productive and highly efficient workplace in USA is a pressure-cooker and a high-speed battleground for highly creative and dynamic young people to compete and to flourish.

However, when you get older, you should plan your career path and financial matter so that you can retire comfortably at the age of 55 or earlier to enjoy your long, happy and leisure retirement life into your golden age of 80s and beyond. In retirement, you can still enjoy some fun work of great interest to you and of great values to the society and the community, but at a part-time leisure pace on your own term.

On the other hand, if you are not able to get out of the pressure-cooker or the high-speed battleground at the age of 55 and to keep on working very hard until the age of 65 or older before your retirement, then you probably will die within 18 months of retirement. By working very hard in the pressure cooker for 10 more years beyond the age of 55, you give up at least 20 years of your life span on average.

It's hard to explain, the call to a place, the tug that clearly tells the faithful their work should be done in a certain city at a certain time.

For many reasons, the timing seemed off for pastor Lee Claypoole to come to Lexington, Ky., last year. He and his wife had coped with cancer. His wider family suffered from poor health. All the stressors in life seemed to have piled up. Yet he and his family added another one by moving away from the church they called home in South Carolina to start a church from scratch.

"There is no doubt in my mind that God has placed us here," said Claypoole. Claypoole, who launched The Bridge in Lexington this spring, is among a growing trend of "church planters," people who not only want to serve a church, but create one.

All the chatter about the bad economy might actually be good for new churches, said Billy Hornsby, president of the Association of Related Churches, a nonprofit based in Birmingham, Ala., that helps train pastors to plant churches. The group has helped start 30 new churches since January and hopes to have 100 planted by the end of the year.

"When there are bad economics or wars or anything, churches thrive," said Hornsby. "Some 90 percent of our churches have more income this year than last year."

But, as Claypoole said, "church planting is not for the fainthearted." When Claypoole moved to Kentucky last year, he not only relocated his wife and two daughters, he brought with him several dozen believers from the Praise Cathedral in Greer, where he had been a youth minister.

The Kentucky native, who is known in Christian circles for having his dramatic weight loss featured on "The 700 Club," has felt the pressure of encouraging the group to travel north.
But Claypoole, whose church meets at Edythe J. Hayes Middle School, said he is optimistic his church will continue to grow.

"I don't know a year from now what The Bridge will look like," he said. "We dream big."

Ashley Wilson, pastor of LifeGate Church, has benefited from the advice offered through Associated Related Churches. Wilson had never lived in Lexington, although he has family in Owensboro, Ky. He can't fully explain why he chose Lexington to start his church.

"Lexington, Ky., kept coming to my heart and mind over and over again," he said.

He said his research showed there might be a place for his church. It is a place known for drawing young professionals. He thought there was a need for "a really significant charismatic or Pentecostal ministry."

"You have a lot of unchurched and partially churched people here in town," said Wilson, who moved here in 2007 after graduating from Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn. LifeGate Church meets on the campus of Lexington Christian Academy and its numbers are regularly in the dozens. Wilson is encouraged.

"It's an awesome, awesome opportunity right now to reach people," he said. "There are a lot of people right now who are struggling financially or struggling in other ways. A lot of people are looking for hope."

Wilson said the stock market decline made the already challenging task of starting a new church more difficult. But, he said, "that just means we have no place to go but up."

One advantage to being part of a new congregation, said Claypoole and Wilson, is that it can be easy to find a way to be of service. The needs are so great at a start-up that it's easy to feel like you can make a real contribution.

Wilson said it's easier to create something new than to try to turn around an already established institution.

"When you are a new church there are 100 things that need to be done right now," Wilson said. "There is always space for you to plug in and use your gifts."

Hornsby said he thinks that's part of the attraction of church planting. His group has helped launch some of the fastest growing churches in the United States.

For example, Church of the Highlands, in Birmingham, Ala., started with 34 people in 2001. Now, about 8,000 attend weekly. Hornsby said the average church has about 85 adults in attendance. The average church planted by his group, which not only offers step-by-step planning information but also offers some financial assistance to start-up churches, has 833 adults, according to the association's research.

But, he said, the key is creating "home churches," small groups that get together weekly for Bible study or prayer, sometimes in individual homes. That direct connection helps create a feeling of belonging even when a church grows rapidly.

Both Claypoole and Wilson, while eager to tend the spiritual needs of all comers, are hoping to attract young people to their church. Both are more likely to be found preaching in jeans or slacks than a suit and tie and hope the casual atmosphere will attract people who haven't yet found a place in more formal settings.

And, in an era when even grandmas are on Facebook, they are planting their spiritual seeds in the virtual world.

Claypoole has a YouTube video for The Bridge and a MySpace page to collect friends.

Wilson has a Web site with a video explaining his mission.

"This is a viral generation," said Hornsby, who started life as a Louisiana State Trooper before entering the ministry three decades ago. He has 2,000 people following him on Twitter, a popular social media network. But all the high-tech gadgets and high level planning hinge on something as old as religion itself: Faith.

For Claypoole, it's the faith he's made the right move.

"When you are a new church there are 100 things that need to be done right now," Wilson said. "There is always space for you to plug in and use your gifts."

Hornsby said he thinks that's part of the attraction of church planting. His group has helped launch some of the fastest growing churches in the United States.

For example, Church of the Highlands, in Birmingham, Ala., started with 34 people in 2001. Now, about 8,000 attend weekly. Hornsby said the average church has about 85 adults in attendance. The average church planted by his group, which not only offers step-by-step planning information but also offers some financial assistance to start-up churches, has 833 adults, according to the association's research.

But, he said, the key is creating "home churches," small groups that get together weekly for Bible study or prayer, sometimes in individual homes. That direct connection helps create a feeling of belonging even when a church grows rapidly.

Both Claypoole and Wilson, while eager to tend the spiritual needs of all comers, are hoping to attract young people to their church. Both are more likely to be found preaching in jeans or slacks than a suit and tie and hope the casual atmosphere will attract people who haven't yet found a place in more formal settings.

And, in an era when even grandmas are on Facebook, they are planting their spiritual seeds in the virtual world.

Claypoole has a YouTube video for The Bridge and a MySpace page to collect friends.

Wilson has a Web site with a video explaining his mission.

"This is a viral generation," said Hornsby, who started life as a Louisiana State Trooper before entering the ministry three decades ago. He has 2,000 people following him on Twitter, a popular social media network. But all the high-tech gadgets and high level planning hinge on something as old as religion itself: Faith.

For Claypoole, it's the faith he's made the right move.

I went to my first Open House meeting Friday. I wasn't able to take the tour of the factory but I did get the chance to meet many people who are thriving in Synergy right now. I learned a little bit more about the products and also opportunities Synergy has for their distributors. Being at a Synergy meeting is such a boost! The room is full of positive people being affected by this product and also people who are benefiting from it financially. I was grateful to be there to hear so many amazing testimonials of our products. Friday's meeting really gave me a better understanding of how united Synergy is. It is a "family" group of people encouraged to share knowledge of health. No one is alone when they join Synergy and I think that is what I like about it the most. I have someone guiding the way for me and for those who come after me. There is always support and answers to questions in this Synergy "family"
This is day #9 on the V3 product. The energy level I have is insane! I am eager for my work outs because I know I am accomplishing so much more then I was before. I have felt slight headaches at time but nothing major.
The Pro-Argi 9 Plus is simple to drink. It taste a lot like vitamin water and I actually enjoy drinking it.
The Mistica is stronger then the Pro-Argi 9 but is easy to drink. Taste a thousand times better then Noni juice.
The Core Greens... aahhhh the Core Greens. It's a lot like the wheat grass you can get at places like Jamba Juice. It has a strong taste but I feel better taking it.
It is hard to eat healthy. I don't know many people who do and taking supplements helps me feel like I am giving my body the nutrients it needs and wants! I have learned so much in just 13 days and I can't wait to see what knowledge I will gain and how I will feel 13 more days from now.

I will be attending Tuesday nights meeting if anyone is interested in learning more about Synergy. Trust me.... you won't regret it.

How long does red wine keep for when stored correctly? Am thinking of buying a bottle of 30 year old wine as a gift and know nothing about wines! How much should I expect to pay for a bottle of red wine from 1978 in Australia. Thanks for your help!

Aging potential of red from a superlative vintage (78 was a so so year, I think) from a world class winery or winemaker (who is yours?) can be a very, very long time. 30 years would not be too long. But as to whether you should buy that wine, please consider who you are buying it for and who you are buying it from. Second question first, if youre buying it retail, I would not. At a minimum, if you buy it from a retail, that bottle has changed hands 3 times. Too many hands and too much distance covered in between. First question, would the recipient truly appreciate the nuances of a 30 year old bottle or would be just a novel gift? Would your recipient drink it now or store longer? How much should you pay? Its a crapshoot. A friend gave me a 73 or 74 Hearty Burgundy which I would not have given a nickel for had I bought it. A quality 78 - my guess, a couple hundred bucks. You should query or contact wine spectator. Good luck.

At some point in our professional or personal life, we may be faced with moving to another city or another state that is hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Moving can be a stressful experience, so it’s important to find a long distance moving company that will take some of the pressure off of you and your family. Long distance moving companies have different operating procedures and rate structures, so you should be prepared to ask some direct questions and get specific answers before you sign on the dotted line and begin the moving process.
There are five critical questions that any moving company should answer before you make a final decision. Before you start asking questions however, do some research on the company; there are several sites on the Internet that will give you information about company’s past performance, references and history. The Better Business Bureau is another good source of information. This information will be a big help in analyzing their answers.
The first question that we all want answered is how much is it going to cost? You might want to start your conversation with one of the other questions, but you will need to set a budget for the complete move and their charges will be eat up a large portion of that budget. Usually the company will ask you about the items you are moving, the size and the amount of fragile and perishable items you have to move. If cars or any other vehicles are involved, they will want to know about them as well. From the information you supply, they will give you a quote. Ask the company how they establish the price quoted and make notes.
The next question is how long is it going to take? Time is always an important issue in a move and you usually have a specific day and time in mind and the company should be able to confirm that date with you. You might have to be flexible, especially if the company meets all your other qualifications, but can only confirm the day before or two days after your date. You also need to know how long the actual move is going to take and when the truck will be unloaded.
The third question, which usually goes along with how much does it cost is: What services do you provide? You want to make sure that the price they quoted you includes all the services you need like packing, special handling and storage. Usually these service cost more, so it’s good to give them a detailed description of the services you need, so you do get an accurate price before you sign.
Reputation is always an issue when you’re investing your personal property with a company for an extended period of time. Ask them about it, even though you have done your own research. It’s a good idea to hear what they have to say about their company and services, as well as the references they give you.
The fifth question is the legitimacy of the company. Get the company’s license number and dot record and check them out. Make sure they have insurance and there are no issues pending with the company. Your research will probably give you some of that information, but it’s important to get it from them as well.
Your long distance move can be a positive experience if you do your homework, ask the right questions and let your intuition guide you in choosing the long distance moving company that’s right for you.

“Hindsight is 20-20.” This is a common adage that we have all heard at one point or another during our lifetime. I assume that we all believe that it is true, but have we really thought how we can use this reality to our advantage as athletes, trainers, and coaches? I’ll never forget the many pieces of advice that my mentors have given me over the years and how much I wish I would’ve used their experiences to help myself along the way, especially when I was in high school and college. I’ll never forget my high school basketball coach telling me not to get too involved with a serious girlfriend while in high school because he said I would change a lot throughout the years and it would make college much more difficult because of the distance. Of course, as a “know-it-all, things will be different for me” eighteen year old, I didn’t listen even though my coach had been speaking from experience.
Instead, I kept the serious relationship and took on the challenges of managing a long distance arrangement while trying to maintain a high average at a prestigious academic school and playing Division 1 athletics. The result? A painful break-up shortly after college and a lot of lost time that I’ll never get back; time spent at home during many weekends to see her when I could have been having fun with my teammates, becoming a better football player, and or getting more involved on campus. I’m not saying that just because it happens to one person, that it’ll absolutely happen the same way again to the next. I’m merely asserting that there are odds in play in certain situations and most likely, an outcome can be predicted with a high percentage of certainty.

High Production With Zero Water Change

AMR, ZEAH, bacterial floc, heterotrophs, autotrophs; these terms maybe new to the ears of fish and shrimp farmers in the Philippines. AMR stands for Aerated Microbial Reuse while ZEAH stands for Zero-Exchange, Aerobic, Heterotrophic. Both refer to the same thing: a system of intensive aquaculture that has been around for at least ten years and is becoming more popular starting in the Western hemisphere but now spreading in Southeast Asia. The basic technology was developed at the Waddell Mariculture Center in the USA in the early 1990s. AMR or ZEAH, whichever term you prefer, has been found to reduce feeding cost, makes possible operation of a farm with very little or even zero water exchange, while still producing 10 to 30 tons of shrimps per hectare and from 10 to 100 kg of tilapia per square meter per crop. It seems too good to be true. But it is for real and if you think it is still experimental and still needs to be verified in a commercial scale operation, think again!

Autotrophic vs Heterotrophic

AMR is basically a system as against the conventional culture system that fish and shrimp farmers in Asia and the Philippines which is considered To understand the difference between the two systems, one has to go into the respective roots of the two terms. Heterotrophic comes from an organism which rely on carbon in organic form (i.e. other organisms) for food. Animals, fungi, parasitic plants and most bacteria are heterotrophs. In contrast autotrophic comes from the term an organism capable of sustaining itself due to its ability to produce their own food (or organic carbon) from inorganic materials which are basically water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The food is synthesized using energy from light or photosynthesis or inorganic chemical reaction or chemosynthesis. Autotrophs include all (except parasitic) plants and some bacteria.

A pond where In where food is produced by autotrophs, mainly plant organisms, whether microscopic and in the water column such as phytoplankton or resting on the bottom such as benthic algae is considered an autotrophic system. In contrast a pond where food has to be introduced is considered a heterotrophic system. It of course does not mean the system is completely free from any phytoplankton. In fact the presence of phytoplankton is believed by some to be essential as oxygen source and reduce aeration need in the daytime.

Extensive vs Intensive

In conventional pond culture that Filipino farmers are familiar with great pains are taken to prepare the pond so that plankton, particularly diatoms flourish before stocking the shrimps or fish. Presumably the plant plankton becomes food to tiny animal plankton and the two types of plankton together becomes natural food for the newly stocked shrimp or fish fry. This is thought to be the ideal condition for the shrimps or fish because it simulates their natural habitat. Because food is produced within the pond itself the system is considered .

When the stocking density is low, the food that is generated within the pond is sufficient to support the shrimp or fish stock and no feeding is required. This is what is known as extensive aquaculture. Such a system is capable of producing at most a few hundred kilograms per hectare. In an effort to increase production it is inevitable for farmers to try stocking more to the extent that the natural food that is produced becomes insufficient to support the stock. In such case feed has to be introduced in order to supplement the nutrition coming from naturally occurring food in the pond. Such system which relies on a combination of naturally occurring food and introduced food or feeds is often referred to as aquaculture.

At high stocking density, and as the animals grow, more feed is required to the extent that the role of natural food becomes insignificant and the culture becomes in nature. Since no more than 30% of the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in feeds is assimilated or converted into flesh by the fish or shrimps, more of it serves only to pollute the water in the form of uneaten feeds and excretory wastes which is high in ammonia a substance that stresses fish and shrimps, reduce growth rate and at high levels even cause mass mortality. At low stocking density, this poses no problem since they can still be fully utilized by phytoplankton and bacteria. At high densities however, the amount of such wastes overwhelms the system and if left unchecked accumulates in the system. The conventional approach is to change the water in order to reduce the level. Considerable skill and experience is required to maintain the phytoplankton population at the right level but which due to weather variation may collapse and create havoc. Furthermore the water discharged is high in organic load one aspect of intensive aquaculture that is at the forefront of environmentalists list of negative effects of aquaculture to the environment.

Shifting from Phytoplankton to Heterotrophic Bacteria

As now practiced in Belize by the Belize Aquaculture Ltd (BAL), applying AMR technology requires deliberately converting the pond ecosystem from one that is autotrophic or phytoplankton-based to a heterotrophic system dominated by bacteria after the fry has been stocked and has established itself. This requires providing a low-protein, high carbohydrate diet with Nitrogen to Carbon or C:N ratio of 16:1 (18 % protein) so that the Carbon-hungry bacterial population has adequate food to multiply even as the shrimps are also being fed with regular starter feed The culture is deliberately overfed at 200 to 250% of the shrimp biomass. The addition of wheat flour or even molasses, both of which are carbon rich, has been found also to hasten the growth of heterotrophic bacteria. The overfeeding is continued until the shrimps average 3 grams in size after which feeding rate is based on consumption. Ironically the technology works best at high stocking densities that are capable of producing at least 13,000 kg of shrimps per hectare.

Since bacteria are not and needs surfaces to cling on, these grow on organic detritus which is defined as decaying particulate organic matter. Siliceous particles are also provided in the form of zeolite to serve as additional nucleus for the bacterial floc to form. As the bacteria settle and develop around each particle the particles grow in size. Vigorous and continuous aeration and agitation of the water is essential at all times of the day in order to keep the particles suspended and to provide adequate oxygen to both the bacteria and the shrimps. At BAL, phytoplankton productivity was found to be still high even with a proliferation of heterotrophic bacteria. The phytoplankton consisted mainly of autotrophic flagellates.

The flocs make it possible for the shrimps to directly consume the bacteria which are protein rich because as they consume the carbon they also consume the ammonia and nitrites and convert these into protein. Basically the bacteria convert organic detritus that has potentially dangerous nitrogenous wastes into high protein detritus which becomes available as food to detritus feeders such as shrimps. The term microbial reuse is derived from the fact that nutrients in a pond are continually recycled and reused with the help of the microbes. The total biomass of bacteria in an AMR system may range from two to five times that of the shrimp harvest biomass. Thus it is said that the management of an AMR or ZEAH culture system is directed towards culturing the heterotrophic bacteria. The shrimps are merely there as consumers of the bacteria.

The basis for the development of AMR is the finding that in a natural ecosystem, fallen mangrove leaves which at most have 3 to 6 % protein becomes transformed into a high protein organic detritus with as much as 30 to 50% crude protein, as it decays due to the action of the bacteria. This becomes part of the food chain as they are consumed by small fish and other aquatic organisms. This then is the reason behind the productivity in the marine environment that is associated with the presence of mangroves.

Implication on Feeds and Feeding

Throughout the culture period, two types of feed are used, a carbon-rich feed for the bacteria and the shrimp diet with the relatively higher protein although as the shrimp grows the proportion of carbon-rich feed to regular shrimp feed is reduced from 20:1 to only 1:4. Due to the availability of protein-rich bacteria as direct food, the protein content in shrimp feed maybe significantly reduced. Where feeds for conventional culture of Penaeus vannamei may have a protein content as high as 35%, feeds for AMR can be as low as 18 to 24%. Furthermore the amount of fish meal maybe reduced significantly even to zero. It has been found that meat and bone meal can substitute for fish meal in feeds used in an AMR system.

Other Benefits of Using AMR

The most obvious advantage of AMR is the fact that water exchanged is reduced to zero. Additional water maybe added during the culture period but only to replace what is lost from evaporation. This not only reduces pumping cost significantly but also eliminates completely one of the major complaints of environmentalists against intensive culture: the discharge of high organic load into the natural ecosystem. Even after harvest the water need not be discharged. After an adequate time for the solids to settle in a settling pond, water has been found to be useful to start a new cycle because the presence of a high bacterial load makes it faster to establish a heterotrophic bacterial community. With no water change, the possible introduction of diseases from the water is also eliminated.

Other benefits cited by proponents is that monitoring is less rigorous than in a conventional system and that it is more forgiving when it comes to feeding. Furthermore a bacterial population is more stable than a phytoplankton population which can be greatly affected by the weather. It is known how fatal a sudden phytoplankton bloom or its collapse can be to shrimps.

Species Limitation

AMR or ZEAH works best with penaeid shrimps that are detrital feeders, particularly P. vannamei but is not thought applicable to the sugpo or P. monodon and the Japanese prawn, P. japonicus. However one farm in Malaysia has been reported to have been successful in raising P. monodon to large sizes using a similar but modified system. Among fish species it is known to be applicable with tilapia and is believed to also be suitable for other detritus feeding species such as carps and mullets.

Appropriate for the Philippines?

One of the major drawbacks to using the AMR in the Philippines is the very high amount of energy required for aeration and mixing. In addition to the usual paddlewheel aerators, air injectors have also been found necessary. At very high densities oxygen generators or liquid oxygen are even recommended. It is estimated that one horsepower of aeration is required for every 300 to 500 kg of shrimps to be produced. Proponents claim that this can be more than offset from savings in feeding cost and pumping for water change. But with energy cost so high in the Philippines which is known to be second only to Japan in Asia, it remains to be seen whether this will also hold true in the Philippines. Another cost factor is the need to have deeper ponds (1.5 m minimum) and the installation of plastic pond liners. While liners may not be absolutely necessary, the constant movement of water may scour the pond bottom and dikes if these are not lined.

Technically there is no reason why the same yields in shrimps or tilapia cannot be obtained using the system under Philippine conditions. But the important thing in aquaculture is the bottom line which is in pesos and centavos not in metric tons and kilograms. Due also to its higher energy requirements for aeration it will also be interesting to compare the system against conventional aquaculture in terms of ecological impact and sustainability when everything else is considered. It should be noted that even without employing the heterotrophic approach it is already possible to operate shrimp farms intensively with very low or even zero discharge.

Contact lens sales are regulated by the FDA (Food And Drug Administration) and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission.) In the U.S. Department of Agriculture for some three decades and has lived with numerous primitive peoples and worked on assignments that related to crop diversification, medicinal plants, and energy plant studies in many developing countries. contact lens marketplace, 82 percent wear soft lenses, 16 percent wear rigid gas-permeable, and only 2 percent wear hard. His online botanical database is one of the most widely consulted databases in the world. There are 75 million contact lens wearers worldwide and 31 million in the U.S. He believes that one of the keys is to combine herbs. alone.

Among the many kinds of contact lenses you can buy are: novelty, colored, crazy, Halloween, special effects, theatrical, costume, scary, glow in the dark, wild eyes, mirrored, black, white, and red. Instead of using just one, even if it is as good as garlic, research has been quite clear in proving that mixtures of antifungal herbs almost always work better than just one single herb alone. All correcting contact lenses must have a valid prescription from an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

With planned-replacement lenses, the doctor works out a replacement schedule tailored to the needs of each patient. The synergy created when antifungal herbs work together has been demonstrated in numerous studies. Rigid gas permeable contact lenses are more durable, resistant to deposit buildup, and generally give a clearer, crisper vision. In a test of ten plant species whose oils were antifungal, researchers observed that combinations of antifungal essential oils increased their activity a great deal. Some doctors prescribe disposables as planned-replacement lenses, which are removed, disinfected, and reused before being discarded.

Soft lenses are easier to adjust and are much more comfortable than rigid lenses, because they conform to the eye and absorb and hold water. A similar study showed that all the oil combinations had an increased antifungal potency over individual oils.

In a world where fungal strains can morph into so many pleomorphic forms and life stages, the use of a variety of herbs is especially important. There are differences in the water content and shape of the lens between different brands. However, a powerful role for doctor's medications is also acknowledged by Duke. Soft lenses have the added benefit in that soft lenses aren't as likely as rigid lenses to pop out or get foreign material like dust underneath.

Soft contact lenses are made of soft, flexible plastics that allow for oxygen to pass through to the cornea. He shows how to use herbs and mediation together if necessary. Rigid lenses generally give you more clear vision. Many pharmaceutical "magic bullet" antifungals are currently more potent than herbal approaches. There are several types of lenses including: soft contact lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, extended wear lenses and disposables.

Rigid gas permeable lenses tend to be less expensive over the life of the lens since they last longer than soft lenses. When people have bad fungal infections, these "magic bullet" antifungals are used. People who have good distance vision but need help for reading can get a monovision reading lens for one eye.

Check to see if you have a health insurance plan that includes vision coverage. However, even then these pharmaceutical antifungals are often combined with herbs to give oneself an additional antifungal boost. When you place your order make sure your lenses are available and not out of stock, because you'll need them now. If your doctor agrees, be sure to try this next time you have a fungal infection to see just how well synergy can work for you.

One of the main herbs James Duke recommends is garlic. When you receive your order, if you think you've received an incorrect contact lens, check with your doctor or eye care professional right away; don't accept any substitution unless your eye care professional approves it.

Before you buy online, check to see if there are any testimonials at the online supplier's website. He believes that ajoene, a chemical constituent of garlic, is almost as effective against mildew fungus as many other pharmaceutical antifungals. You can buy contact lenses from an eye doctor, on the Internet, from an optical store or a warehouse club. Many studies have shown results that support this belief. When you place your contact lens order, request the manufacturer's written patient information for your contact lenses; it'll give you important risk and benefit information as well as instructions for use.

Ask about prices at your doctor's office when you have your eye examination, or during a follow-up visit after you get your prescription. At a time when more and more Americans are discovering that fungal conditions are linked with a wide range of maladies such as cholesterol problems, diabetes, and cancer, Duke has a variety of recommendations for herbal remedies to use.

The main reason fungi and the illnesses they produce are becoming well known is due to the pervasive flooding that has recently occurred throughout many regions of this country. Always ask what rebates are available. Black mold growth in water-logged homes quickly leads to the production of mycotoxins. Carefully check to make sure the company gives you the exact brand you ordered, the name of the lens, the power, sphere, cylinder, if any, axis, if any, diameter base curve, and peripheral curves, if any.

Basic rule: never swap your contact lenses with anyone else. The inhalation and skin of these fungal toxins can cause serious emotional and physical symptoms. The FDA has approved extended-wear lenses for use up to seven days before removal for cleaning; but there are risks with use of extended-wear lenses even for one night. On a more mundane level, athlete's foot, vaginal yeast infections, jock itch, candida, and fungal toenail infections are also fungal problems that occur very frequently. Soft extended-wear lenses bind down on the closed eye, but they are porous and allow some tears through during sleep; because they have so little form, their binding has very little effect on the shape of the eye.

Under the binding down of a rigid contact lens during sleep, the flow of tears and oxygen to the cornea is reduced; lack of oxygen leaves the eye vulnerable to infection. These common fungal problems may be well cared for through an herbal approach. To be sure your eyes remain healthy you shouldn't order lenses with a prescription that's expired or stock up on lenses right before the prescription is about to expire; it's much safer to be re-checked by your eye doctor. Even the most urbane shopper can have a tough time gathering these same herbs on their own, testing their patience, endurance, and budget. Be aware that extended-wear (overnight) contact lenses - rigid or soft - increase the risk of corneal ulcers, which are infection-caused eruptions on the cornea that can lead to blindness; symptoms include vision changes, eye redness, eye discomfort or pain, and excessive tearing.

Laser surgery and its risks can be frightening and too expensive for some people; contacts can provide a safe, comfortable and time-tested alternative. Some stores may have one and not the other herb or nutrient and when they are purchases separately, the cost can be excessive. Make sure to visit a reputable eye doctor for a complete eye examination once a year, or more frequently if needed. However, with this in mind, Duke's book is still a wonderful educational tool that should be found in every home. Ordering contact lenses online has never been simpler with, and sometimes without, a credit card.
