25,000 Quality Gifts Under $25

It's not yet too late to get your gifts this holiday season. You can still catch your last minute gifts from Kmart. It might sound unbelievable but there are more than 25,000 gift items you can find that are available at Kmart for as low as $25 or less. Don't let the New Year spoil your day but instead get to start the New Year right by getting special discounts and big savings at Kmart.
Glad to have Kmart close to us! :). I can honestly say that I am a regular customer of Kmart and I actually buy my things in there. I am a living witness for their amazing deals this season, really! There's still much longer left for winter, but you can already get as high as 50% off discounts for outerwear and cold weather accessories for your entire family.
I am thinking of getting a pajama set for my husband. For just 25 bucks is more than enough to buy even 2 sets! Couldn't just afford to miss that deal! Fleece pants for men are only $3.99 each while long sleeve crew neck boxer tops are between $3.99-$4.99 each. Good deals, right?

Vertigo: Benign Positional Vertigo

I still have this sensation at times, until now since my doctor diagnosed me to have one. I was freakingly worried that I might have something serious inside my brain! Anyway, my doctor gave me a little information about this, so I thought of sharing it. Perhaps, many has or had it too in the past. Just be sure it is BPV. Don't forget to seek medical help from your doctor.

What is benign positional vertigo (BPV)?
BPV is a spinning sensation of the head (vertigo) brought on by a certain position of the head, usually sudden changes of position. The word "benign" means that it is not a serious condition and is likely to eventually get better.

What is the cause?:
In most peopl, the cause is unknown, but it can follow accidents causing neck or head injuries in some people. There are 2 theories to explain BPV:
  1. A problem exists in the neck, usually a 'kink' in some of the swivel joints of the neck. The neck is connected to the balance centre by special nervous pathways.
  2. There are tiny pieces of floating debris in the balance centre of the inner ear (labyrinth). These little bits of sediment somehow upset the balance centre when disturbed.
What are the sympptoms?:
  • a brief attack of severe dizziness (vertigo), usually for about 10-30- seconds, that comes on a few seconds after a certain head movement.
  • quickly subsiding dizziness.
The changing head positions that provoke an attack can be:
  • tilting the head backwards
  • changing from a lying to a sitting position
  • lying on one ear or the other
  • turning the head to the side with the neck injury
Who gets BPV?
Although it can occur at all ages, the elderly are affected most. It is the most common cause of vertigo in the elderly. Women are twice likely as men to get it. BPV is a surprisingly common problem.

How long does the bouts of BPV last?
Each attack usually lasts less than 30 seconds but can last 60 seconds or so. The attacks tend to come in bursts but usually settle within a few weeks and most people are able to return to work within a week. The bouts tend to come back after months or years, but some people only ever have one attack.

What are the effects of BPV?
There are usually no ill effects in the long run. Unlike some other causes of severe dizziness, there is usually no vomiting, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or deafness. One has to be careful with driving.

What is the treatment?
There is no special treatment. Drugs are not effective at preventing the attacks. It is basically a matter of allowing the bouts to run their course, but there are some things that may help:
  • Avoid head positions that provoke the attack.
  • Do special neck exercises.
  • Obtain mobilisation treatment to the neck by a qualified therapist.
Sometimes it may be necessary to be referred to a specialist to make sure it is just BPV and not a problem with the circulation to the brain.

Heroes at Home Wish Registry from Sears

The spirit of Christmas is not over yet at Sears. After all, Christmas spirit is not only good for a day but supposedly everyday for people who have kind and generous hearts. I am talking about the Sears Heroes at Home program which has been launched to provide support to our military service members, veterans and their families with the joint efforts of various non-profit organizations.
Through this program, Americans are given the chance to fulfill the wishes of the military heroes including their families for all the sacrifices they have done. The program encourages those who have kind heart to make donations or contributions to help fulfill their wishes this holiday season. You can give your donations to the wish registry and these will be used to purchase sears gift cards that will be distributed equally to all the families that are registered in the program. Please take note that your donations are not tax deductible. You can also donate online at Sears homepage at your own convenience. Kindly check Sears website main page for more details about this. You can as well post a message of thanks for our heroes, or help spread the word by getting your Heroes at Home Badge :). Your message of support is a great help even if you haven't contributed financially. After all, moral support is priceless and the greatest! :).
Isn't it a great feeling of fulfillment when you have helped somebody who is in need? Our help is what our military heroes need not only during the holiday season. They need our prayers...daily!
Thanks to the Sears Heroes at Home program. It's one more step ahead to share our blessings and see a wish go far.

Don't Know If That Baby is Yours?...

Here's how you can avoid finding yourself in a nightmare of paternity fraud battle:
First, if you're not certain the new baby is yours, don't sign anything saying it is. The longer you've had a relationship with the child, the harder it's going to be to open up a case of fraud. Even the accuracy of DNA testing doesn't count as an airtight defense. And don't rely solely on birth control to keep you safe. Condoms are only 86% effective, the pill, only 98% assuming the woman is careful about taking it. So you may have to get a bit more drastic!
Have a vasectomy and freeze your sperm in case you want to have kids later on. Then, get a follow up test to make sure it worked.
If it's impossible for you to have a child, you can't be named the father. This might sound ridiculous, but thanks to shrill lobbyists, idiotic bureaucrats, and opportunistic politicians. The only way to protect your reproductive rights may be to eliminate your ability to reproduce.

Twister Tips

If you seem to be running away from a twister and got stuck, there is no way you can avoid it. Here are some helpful tips to make it out alive from a twister.
  • Duck and Cover. Your neck is the most vulnerable part of your body after the nads. Protect it from airborne missiles any way possible.
  • Lie Low. If you're stuck outside, lie in a ditch so the wind passes over you. See a sewer? Scurry down...and say hi to Corey Feldman! LOL!
  • Avoid Bridges. Wind increases in speed as it squeezes through an underpass, sucking you out. So try avoiding the Midwest.
Did You Know...

695 people were killed by the infamous Tri-State Tornado on March 18, 1925? This swirling V-cloud of death traveled 219 miles in 3 hours!

Watch Out For Tornadoes!

The weather bureau gauges the strength of a coming tornado through an F-scale rating. The following are F-scale rating guidelines of a tornado by the havoc they wreak. So, watch out when the weather bureau tells you how strong the tornado through MPH.
  • F0: - Winds under 73MPH snap branches, push over shallow-rooted trees, knock down signs, and muss your meticulously feathered mullet! :).
  • F1: - Gusts from 73 to 112MPH peel the surface off roofs, blow moving autos off roads, and push double-wides from their "foundations."
  • F2: - Gales reaches 113 to 157MPH, lifting roofs, destroying mobile homes, and creating light-object missiles - like, say, flying pigs!
  • F3: - Blowing 158 to 206MPH, winds tear walls off houses, uproot forests, and flip autos and trains. They call this "severe damage."
  • F4: - Blasts of 207 to 260MPH can crush well-built homes, lift weak-structured homes and possibly get your fat mom off her ass.
  • F5: - 261 to 318MPH Satan storms can yank well-built houses off their foundations and launch cars like the Hulk in smash mode!

Learn A Perfect Throw in Bowling

Most people love to bowl as a past time, or some for purely sport competitions! But who doesn't want a perfect strike? Here are some short tips to learn on how to do the perfect throw ;).
  1. Get Some Ball. For a sweet curve that mathematically increases your chances of blasting all 10 pins, ditch the hard-plastic junker and head to a pro shop. As your floor-grabbing urethane ball is being drilled, keep in mind that power-pawed pros grip with only the tips of their fingers.
  2. Stand at Attention. With your left foot slightly forward, cradle the ball between your belt buckle and man-boobs with your nonswinging hand. This open posture nudges your roll just wide enough to arc in from the outside of the lane (where less oil equals more traction).
  3. Connect the Dots. With bowling, as with breaking up, the first step is the toughest. Start on your right foot and shift the ball's mass into your step. As you approach and swing, use the lane's arrows to visualize an arcing trajectory right into the sweet spot, just right of the headpin.
  4. Spin It Good. To send the projectile spiraling, turn your wrist counter clockwise to a handshake position at the last second-the combination of spin and momentum should induce a hook, lending your ball a better angle, or what Duke calls a "wider pocket"!

Protect Yourself Against CA-MRSA

What's CA-MRSA? It's just a medical acronym which means Community Associated - Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus.
CA-MRSA is usually spread by skin-to-skin contact with infected people (while playing like football or wrestling, for example, as well as giving hugs and handshakes.)
Steps that help you prevent or at least lower your risk are the following:
  • Keep your hands clean. Washing with soap and warm water several times a day is the single best way to combat the virus. Teach your kids to rub their hands briskly under running water for at least 15 seconds (about the amount of time it takes to recite the alphabet.) Take with you an alcohol-based hand sanitizer for times when soap and water aren't available. Kids fingernails should be short and discourage them from doing nose picking.
  • Cover cuts and scrapes. Any wound should be washed with soap and water, then covered with dry, sterile bandages until it heals. Apply a clean dressing daily. Pus from infected sore can contain CA-MRSA, so it's also important to wash your hands after changing bandages to avoid spreading staph.
  • Don't share personal items. Tell your kids not to use friends' and teammates' towels, washcloths, clothing, uniforms or razors. People who appear healthy can still be CA-MRSA carriers. Shared sports equipments, such as helmets and gym mats, should be cleaned with an antibacterial solution after every use.
  • Sanitize gym clothing and linens. If anyone in the family has a cut, sore or infection, wash bedding and towels in hot water with added bleach. Wash sports clothing and washable athletic gear with laundry detergent after each use. Drying laundry in a hot dryer, not on a clothesline, also helps kill bacteria.
  • Remember flu shots. Since flu lowers resistance to CA-MRSA, getting vaccinated every year helps protect against both diseases. The best time to get the shot is in October or November. Flu shots are approved for kids over 6 months of age.
  • Get tested. If you have skin infection that needs medical treatment, ask the doctor to check for CA-MRSA, which responds only to certain antibiotics. Many doctors prescribe the wrong drugs because they don't do a test. That can worsen the infection. Until recently, diagnosis typically involved doing a culture. But it takes up to 48 hours to grow the bacteria in a lab, meaning that people could continue to spread the infection while waiting for lab results.
  • Be sure to take all your prescribed medication - even if your skin heals. Bacteria you leave alive today can morph into tomorrow's superbugs.

Tips on Simple Slimming-Down

If you eat a diet that contains predominantly foods with a low glycemic index, it doesn't matter much if you secrete insulin quickly or slowly, as these foods won't provoke a rapid insulin response.
Whether you go to a farmer's market or a supermarket, shopping for meals can be a treat. With such fresh, fragrant fruits and vegetables, you don't need to do much to them.
Here are 3-course meals with whole foods low in fat and low on the glycemic index.

Breakfast
  • Steel-cut oatmeal with fresh berries and bananas or an egg with omelet with fresh vegetables.
  • Toasted stone-ground whole grain bread.
  • Orange wedges
Lunch
  • French vegetable soup with basil
  • Arugula salad with corn and red onions
  • Sliced fresh peaches
Dinner
  • White bean salad with zucchini, tomato and basil
  • Spring vegetable stir-fry with tofu or whole-wheat pizza with roasted eggplant and peppers
  • Fruit salad with lime and mint.
Bon Appetit!

Problem Losing Weight? This Might Help...

According to Dr. David Ludweg, director of the Optimal Weight for Life program at Children's Hospital, Boston, he shares some effective strategies for helping you lose weight and keep it off. Basing on his study, he found out that the type of food, not just the amount plays a role in weight due to the fact that people vary in their ability to stick to diets. However, biological factors other than genes could also play a role.
According to his studies, people who secrete insulin slowly lost the same amount of weight when assigned to both diets; - conventional low-fat, high glycemic load diet (foods high in sugar and refined carbohydrates such as white flour) and low-glycemic-load diet (one that stabilizes blood sugar after meals). In contrast, people who secrete insulin rapidly and who were on the low glycemic diet lost 5x more weight, and kept all the weight off throughout the 18 months of the study.
When it comes to healthy eating, it may be unwise to recommend decreasing fat without adequate attention to the carbohydrates that replace them, and vice versa. An optimal approach may be a diet that pays attention to the quality of fats and carbs: high-quality, unprocessed low-glycemic carbs abd plant-based proteins and fats.

How To Beat Card Sharks

If you're considering a credit offer, carefully examine the terms of the contract. If you don't understand something, call the issuer's customer service department. If you're not satisfied with the response, don't sign up.



  • Remember that the due date on your card statement is just that. A postmark date is not the same thing. Because many card issuers impose ultra-specific cutoff times (American Express, for example, won't process some payments received after 12 noon in a customer's time zone until the following day), try to make your payment, by mail or online, well in advance.


  • One way to avoid going over your limit (and facing extra fees as a result): Go to the card company's website. Most will alert you via e-mail when you creep close to your cap.


  • If you've historically been a good customer, it can't hurt to ask the customer service department to waive over-limit or other fees.


  • Similarly, if your interest rate goes up, it's worth asking to have it lowered. A study by the Massachusetts Public Interest Research group found that when cardholders requested a reduction, almost 6 in 10 got their rate reduced by at least a third with just one 5-minute call.

Web Hosting Reviews and Rating

When it comes to choosing the best website hostingfor your homepage, you don't need to spend long time searching in the world wide web which one would you get. The more you would find them, the more confusing it would be for you in getting one. It would also be difficult to manually search, collect and compare when doing it manually one at a time, don't you think? Just checking one hosting service on your own can rob you of your precious time.
You need many important things to consider in choosing your hosting service such as the price, disk space, what type of hosting do you need, web designs, domains, etc. Aren't you glad everything has been carefully reviewed for you and the only thing you need to do is choose?
If you want to know more what I am talking about, check Web Hosting Geeks. They offer independent reviews of the best web hosting providers online, and they even provide you the most recent list of the best web hosts for the current year. You can easily check and choose the features that you need. You can also search by category as to what type of service fits your site such as if it's for blog hosting, forum hosting, etc. Furthermore, you are also free to review the web hosting providers that are in their list. By reviewing your web host, it would certainly help other searchers get a good choice as well.

Beauty Tips That Makes Woman Alluring! :)

Here are some tips:
  • Layer Your Lip Color: Try putting on a berry lipstick, blot it to a stain, then top with balm. It's very sexy looking!
  • Do Concealer Right: Dab on in a blotting motion with a damp sponge-that way, you won't pull on the delicate skin around your eyes-and put it only where you need it. A lot of women apply it over their crow's-feet and it just settles in and makes lines more obvious.
  • Blend!: Women tend not to rub in their makeup, especially foundation, and that can look severe. Make it seem like it's part of your skin.
  • Test-Drive Your Look: Take somebody to at least take a digital photo of you before going to that big event. If you're going to be photographed, you need to overcompensate a little.

Choosing a Good Web Hosting Service

Travel Updates!

It has been confirmed, our reservation for our bus tour will be on November 29th :). We will be going to New York, for my late birthday treat. It's my husband's treat for me. I have been bugging him to go there ever since, and so I guess he got some opportunity left on his busy calendar on the last weekend of this month.

Meanwhile, I have to start preparing for our upcoming travel in Anaheim, CA 2nd week of next month. And I think I need to start shopping for my christmas presents...it's tough doing big activities at the same time. Christmas shopping is much easier to do as early as now. So, by the time we arrive from Anaheim, all I have to is wrap them :).

Whew! I'm on a tough itinerary again :(.

A Tag for the Lord :)

I can't just afford to miss this tag. As long as when it comes to my Lord and Savior, I would be happy sharing about it. Again, thank you to my friend, Lisa for this tag.
Proverbs 22:5-6 In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. All children must learn that there is only one King of all Kings and Lord of Lords and that is: Jesus Christ!
I am passing this to chelle and Jeff.

When Is The Time To Wear Glasses?

It's normal to squint when you're looking at the sun or drug warning labels. But if you're over 40 and having trouble making out the words here or always opt for large print books and magazines, then it's time to get one. Reading glasses are easy and expensive and can help make a page in a book look like a billboard. But eventhough, your eyes might have been sending a message that something is wrong, so better see your opthalmologist or optometrist at least every 2 years (and call them immediately or go to ER with sudden vision changes). But don't fret: Most of us experience vision changes as we age. Your newfangled specs - and the fact that you knew enough to get help - may merely be signs of your oldfangled wisdom.

Does Humor Heal?

It's not like your doc can write up a prescription-strength joke and send you on your way. But don't pooh-pooh the power of the ha-ha. Humor has been shown to boost brain power and improve immune-cell function (which can help ward off cancer). Not only that, but a positive attitude means you're more likely to do healthy things like walk, eat cruciferous vegetables and avoid saturated fats-3 choices that substantially help the chance of survival after a heart attack, stroke or cancer. So instead of feeling blue, take charge of your life.
While you're at it, Tivo, Letterman, Leno or Stewart (because sleep is just as important for your health). Remember, miracles do happen, and they happen more often to people who are positively positive.

The Expert Solutions To Thinning Hair


According to The Physician:

When it comes to hair loss, there's more myth than science. it's hard to study, since there isn't a reliable method for measuring hair thickness. But foods that are good for your skin (omega-3 fats and minerals, including zinc and silica) are also good for your hair. In one study, 44% of people who rubbed thyme, rosemary, lavender and cedar wood essential oils on a bald spot had new growth, but it's unclear whether this would help with thinning hair.

According to The Hairstylist:

Use water-soluble styling products (those with too many synthetic ingredients clog follicles). To shampoo, use your fingertips to gently manipulate the scalp-don't use too much pressure, and don't be rough when you towel-dry either. For women, consistently putting your hair in too tight ponytail kills follicles, so hair will recede more rapidly.

According to The Acupuncturist:

An acupuncturist can help develop a herbal formula that is tailored specifically to you, in addition to using the traditional needles to help restore hair growth. Herbs have a synergy with acupuncture, so you may see a greater effect if you use both.

According to The Hair Loss Pro:

At the first signs, see a dermatologist with experience in treating hair loss (women, see an endocrinologist to rule out hormonal causes). Propecia helps slow or stop balding for most men (it's not an option for women). Minoxidil may help men and women, but it's a temporary fix. Hair transplantation is great for some, but it should be a last resort. Find a surgeon.

Bottom Line Tips:
Hair is a mirror of your inner health, which is why we desire a full head of hair and want those strands to shine with gusto :). Most of us shampoo our hair too frequently; instead, try just rinsing with water and massaging your scalp to distribute your naturally healthy lubricating oils into the hair.

Church & Theatre- a Heavenly Connection

Recently a friend invited me to his church for a nice time of fellowship and inspiration. So I decided to go and as I got closer to the address he gave me, I began to look for a large A-frame building, brick structure or something large with stain glass windows.

Instead I arrived at one of the local theatres. I checked with one of the gentlemen standing outside and sure enough I was in the right place. The soda and popcorn stands were closed but the door to the theatre was open and no ticket was required!

I was handed my church program, snuggled into an aisle seat which is were I normally sit at the theatre, and prepared for the service.

Well it was a pleasant surprise! The music was very nice and the acoustics were great (a real asset in a theatre). I also liked the comfort of the seats (a real step up from a hard wooden pew) and the stage was high enough to see everything. I am from a protestant tradition so the single cross on the table was fine with me.

I left thinking what a great idea and then I discovered that the theatre setting can be used for many events in addition to watching a film. Find out more about some vital informations on Cinemeetings and Events on their site. In addition, there is a theatre church conference coming up soon which you might want to attend. Find out more out how your church could benefit from the theatre experience.

See you at the theatre for inspiration this Sunday!

The Magic Power of Sleep

I've found this post very interesting and worth sharing. I thought, many of us would sometimes have difficulty dealing along with a good sleep routine. So, for those who seem to have unstable sleeping routines, this is one vital information we must read.

This article has been condensed and courtesy of Reader's Digest.


Magic Power #1: Live Longer and Healthier

Sleeping better may help you fight off illness. When people are sleep-deprived, there are higher levels of stress hormones in their bodies and an increase in inflammation, both of which can decrease immune function. Simply stated, people who sleep well live longer. So say goodnight sooner, and it may help you stay active and vital to a ripe old age.

Magic Power #2: Look Better, Feel Better

People limited to only 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night for several nights not only experience more physical ailments, such as headaches and stomach problems, but also undergo changes i metabolism similar to those occuring with normal aging. It's no wonder we look terrible after a sleepless night. One of the reasons may be growth hormones. They're essential to keeping us looking good as we get older. Growth hormones are rejuvenating. When you have high levels of the hormone, you have muscle mass, better skin-you lok sexy. You want to keep your growth hormones as high as possible, and the number one best way to do that is sleep.
When you don't look good, you don't feel sexy, and your relationship can suffer. So getting more sleep can rev up your love life too.

Magic Power #3: Be Happier, Less Stressed

People with insomnia produce higher rates of stress hormones than others, according to a new research. This puts their bodies in a hyperaroused state that can make it difficult for them to wind down and sleep. The inability to sleep causes more stress, which can have a devastating impact. People who don't sleep get depressed, and depression causes insomnia, so it's a vicious cycle. But we know the inverse is true: that more and better sleep can make you feel happier.

Magic Power #4: Build a Better Brain

Not only does sleep deprivation lead to a poor health, it also affects concentration, problem-solving skills, memory and mood. Anything that disturbs the quality and quantity of sleep can have long-term consequeces for both body and mind. Lack of sleep can have cognitive and physical effects similar to those brought on by overindulging in alcohol. And night owls, beware: A new study shows that people with two copies of a gene variant that helps control our body clocks tend toward a "late to bed, late to rise" sleeping pattern. They may suffer worse cognitive deficits after sleep deprivation, such as forgefullness and trouble concentrating. So, better sleep may equal better decision making.

Magic Power #5: Lose a Few Pounds

Recent studies suggest that people who get inadequate amounts of sleep are more likely to gain weight. With sleep deprivation, we see a reduction in metabolism and an increase in appetite. Inadequate sleep lower levels of leptin, the hormone that causes you to feel full, while increasing levels of ghrelin, the hormone that makes you feel hungry.
What's also fascinating is that sleep deprivation influences your food choices, making you crave high-carb and high-sugar foods. This is because sleep loss decreases insulin sensitivity, putting the sleep deprived at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes. So sleep more and it may be easier to fight that cookie craving, and wake up a whole new you.

More New Frames at Zenni Optical


Where else can you find inexpensive and yet stylish prescription eyeglasses online but only at Zenni Optical. Yes, Zenni Optical.com had gone a long way. In fact, it has been featured many times and has been gaining positive feedbacks from popular TV and radio shows, such as Fox News TV, and the popular nationally syndicated consumer advocate radio program; "The Clark Howard Show".
Zenni Optical is so far one that offers stylish prescription glasses at a very affordable cost for as low as $8. With a huge selection of frames to choose from, you can as well choose glasses with single vision lens, tinted sunglasses, sunsensor (potochromic) lens, bifocal and progressive lenses. Zenni Optical directly sells their products to their customers, the reason why their prices are low and really affordable.
Have you seen the new arrivals yet? Check out the site and browse the new arrivals section to see all the various colorful designs and sizes. I love smaller frames with more colorful stems :).
I think with the presence of Zenni Optical online, many people who are particularly tight on budget can benefit from it. Let's face it, nowadays, we are facing economic downfall, but thanks to Zenni Optical, because people don't have to risk their eyes in danger because of the budget-friendly prices, don't you think? Check the positive feedback as well.

How Much Is Enough Sleep?

There's no prescription for the perfect amount of sleep. Contrary to the long-held notion that every adult needs 8 hours of sleep a night, a new Washington State University study suggests that genetics may determine the amount of sleep an individual needs. That may explain the perky person you know who seems to thrive on less; she just may have inherited efficient sleep genes. On the other hand, people who seem to require an extreme amount of sleep may not be genetically programmed for it. Instead, they may suffer from a disorder such as obstructive sleep apnea, which interrupts shut-eye but can improve with treatment.

Travelling with a Dragon

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred



I consider myself a traveller, and at the same time a blogger. So, in a way, I can relate this to my experiences in blogging and my travelling experience. Dragon Naturally Speaking, I believe is really a good helper when it comes to keeping up to date on vital thoughts and stories that you do while travelling. It's a good thing to know that this is hassle-free the fact that you don't need to write your stuffs because Dragon does it all for you. Cool, isn't it? Being a blogger myself, I have my travel blog that I update from time to time. I only rely on writing all my posts which are mostly dealing with trip itineraries - places, dates, photo captions and video clips. I actually find it difficult doing it because of the manual postings I get to do, - trying to recall those vital details on each trip sometimes. I get messy with my notes, so I sometimes end up losing some of my notes, stuffs like that... I think I would consider getting one on this. I also think my husband would need it for his job.

The Dragon Reviews are so cool! The video is absolutely a good idea to show how it actually works. I was also able to try the Dragon’s typing speed test! Oh boy, I've discovered I can only type 41 words per minute, while Dragon is way over 373% faster. Check this guys! You'll gonna be convinced, Dragon is a good assistant ;).

Bad Taste in Your Mouth?

If you smoke, that's your likely culprit-it can damage taste buds and leave a perma-nasty flavor. If not, there are plenty of other possible causes, most of which require seeing your doctor or dentist. Drugs like antibiotics and antidepressants can dry out your mouth, encouraging the growth of stinky, sulfur-producing bacteria (but don't just discontinue taking the drug-talk to your doctor; who may recommend switching to another Rx).
Another common cause, especially if you've just noticed the bad taste in the last week or so, is an abscessed tooth, sinus infection or thrush, a fungal infection of the mouth. But if you've been dealing with this for more than a few weeks, it is most likely due to a chronic underlying problem such as gum disease, a vitamin deficiency or acid reflux-a treatable disease in which digestive acids wash up into your esophagus. Reflux is worsened by obesity, so we're seeing more and more cases. Get to your doctor; she can determine the cause and help.

Surprising New Risk for Heart Disease

Watch out for these 3 hidden causes:
  • DIRTY AIR. Living in a city with polluted air can raise a woman's risk of a fatal heart attack by 76%, a new study found. Tiny soot particles may slip through your lungs into the bloodstream, possibly damaging vessels. Try to avoid outdoor activities on dirty-air days;
  • THE BLUES. Feeling depressed can actually thicken artery walls, according to a research. It's one more reason to get help if the blahs last longer than a few weeks.
  • RESTLESS NIGHTS. Previous research has linked sleep apnea to heart disease, but even people without full-blown sleep disorders may be at risk. A recent Swiss study found that bouts of disrupted sleep-from garden-variety snoring, restlessness or other interruptions-are associated with increased blood clotting, a risk factor for heart disease. If you're always tired or routinely toss and turn, see your doctor.

Men’s Professional Fashion

My hubby wears suit at work. In fact, he has been buying suites recently since he moved in to his new job this month. I couldn't really imagine when one time he ordered his suits online (he needed them urgently) so he can have something to wear the following week. The delivery was not as soon as expected and so there was a week delay which was made him pissed off. :(.
By the way, the suits are ready-to-wear since he needs them urgently. Well, that wasn't the only hassles he had to undergo. After he got the suits, he still had them adjusted to the tailor before he could finally wear them!
I'm so glad, I found this site mysuitny.com My Suit Made to Measure is absolutely perfect for my hubby, so this is really worth recommending for him. The good news is that to make him know that this is not expensive as some other brands are, because they cost no more than any one of the
'off the rack" prices.
I know my husband is much more expert when it comes to suits such as his style and comfort as well as how the price goes depending on the style and quality he chooses. But overall, this site really matches his taste of style and comfort, so I will recommend this site for him.
He loves to wear dark to medium type of colors with either 2-button or 3-button styles. He also loves to wear lighter ones.
The My.Suit Experience provides an outstanding steps to lead the customer to choose the perfect suits for them. From the measuirng to fabric selection, steps and instructions are perfectly clear, and the best thing is - as you go along with the guide, you will be guided through each step by a consultant.

DO's and DONT's of Travel Style

Here are some helpful tips to make your travel light and easy. Stay comfy and not look like a tourist-even when you are! :).
  1. Avoid shrink wrapping! - You DON'T want to wear tight and/or cropped clothes to sit on a plane for two reasons: Everything expands, and you want to be able to fall asleep next to someone without exposing extreme amounts of butt or stomach.
  2. Leave the tricky add-ons at home. - Unless you want to make enemies of everyone else in the airport security line, DO keep accessories simple; it's not the time for ankle-tie-espadrilles!
  3. To look chic anywhere - DO add a neatly tailored jacket as an outer layer over more casual underpinnings. It gives you a more polished style; that means you could get on the plane in Duluth (with an upgrade!) and arrive in Paris without looking out of place in either city.
  4. Skip the PJ's. - DON'T think being comfortable while you travel means all style rules are off: The plane is not the place for your gym clothes or your pajamas.
  5. Shorts or not? - DON'T believe that teeny little Daisy Duke shorts are appropriate anywhere. They're fine for the beach, but if you're in a city, they scream "tourist"! A cute dress is an alternative DO anywhere.
  6. The simpler, the better. - DO pack for trips with a simple color palette to keep your luggage light and you looking great. Dress up khaki, brown and white with gold accessories, or gray, black and white with silver :).
  7. Stay Neat. - To look good even after a long flight, DO opt for dark colors like brown, navy or black in lightweight fabrics that don't wrinkle or show dirt.
