Green living is not something you just do, but green living is a state of mind. You must in your mind really want to help our environment my thinking everyday what you can do help save our natural recourses. There are many ways to implement green living, that is why I have listed here ways you can get started.
Start using products that are safe for the environment. Examples of these products can be; cleaning products, recycled papers, and even clothing made from environmentally safe processes. Usually the products are packaged in drab looking containers, the reason being they do not use fancy inks and paper from trees.
You can also start helping by recycling plastics, glass, and paper products. Even if you just recycle one or two items then you are helping the environment. Many cities now require recycling of products and require you to separate them.
The next time you replace a light bulb try replacing it with a LED bulb, which are safer than CFLs which contain mercury. With an LED bulb you can save up to 80% over a standard incandescent light bulb.
When was the last time you had your car tuned up? Simply by tuning up your car you are helping eliminate gas emissions and using less fuel. Buying a hybrid car when it comes time to trade in your old car is a great choice.
Another way to save energy is by adjusting your thermostat either lower in the winter or higher in the summer. Not only do you save energy you also save money on your utility cost.
Try planting a garden in the spring and reap the rewards. If you never planted a garden you might find it a very fun thing to do, growing your very own food will save you money at the grocery store. Even if you don’t plant your own garden you can buy fresh organic food that is free of pesticides and other chemicals.
Water conservation is another way of implementing green living. We take for granted the natural water resources we have around us. Try using less water during showers, and when washing clothes. Also if you water your lawn during the hot summer months why not collect water using a 55 gallon drum available from your local home supply store. You can use this water for your lawn and garden. Saving on one our most valuable resources helps everyone. Just by using one or two of my tips you can help our environment and do your part in green living.

Weight Gain vs. Menopause
Is Weight Loss Impossible During Menopause?
Interviewer: Gail Edgell
Gail Edgell: All of a sudden, women hit 40 or 45, and things start to change. They gain a lot of weight around the waist. What is really happening?
Dr. Chilkov:Â Â Â As we age, our metabolism slows down, and there are many changes in our hormonal balance. We have to look at changes in estrogen, insulin and thyroid function as well as changes in lifestyle. Women can get more sedentary as they age because of the demands of life.
All of these factors will cause an increase in body fat. It’s lovely to be thin for cosmetic reasons and vanity. But really, we want to have low body fat and more muscle mass. High body fat increases our risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and depression. So many health issues are made worse by having a higher percentage of body fat. That should be our motivation for being leaner and thinner.
Gail Edgell: What can women do, starting in their 40s, to really combat this issue? Does it change as they are going into their 50s and 60s?
Dr. Chilkov: The bottom line is having a lifelong normal weight. Maintaining a normal fat-to-lean-body-mass ratio is a lifestyle. Then we deal specifically with metabolic issues with herbs and nutrients.
You have to include the lifestyle factor of regular exercise. If you want to maintain your weight, you want to exercise an hour three times a week. If you want to lose weight, you have to do that every day. You want to have a healthy diet and proper stress management — stress hormones cause your body to store fat. And you want to have adequate rest, so you aren’t swimming upstream against your own physiological factors.
There are a number of herbs and nutrients that we can use to help our body burn more fat, even while we are sitting. Let me introduce some of those.
The first one that I want to discuss is CLA; that is an abbreviation for conjugated linoleic acid. This is a type of fatty acid that promotes fat loss and muscle growth. It occurs in some foods — for example, it is very high in cottage cheese. I prescribe 1,000 milligrams, twice a day, in a capsule as part of a weight-loss program. It increases the burning of fat. That is how it helps us lose weight more efficiently. We are going to promote fat loss, but we also are going to promote muscle growth. Why is that important? Muscle has a higher metabolic rate, so it keeps us lean. If you have more muscle mass, you can eat more calories and still stay thin. You want to be using things that not only burn fat but also build muscle. That is a real key to staying lean.
CLA is used in treating other health concerns. It’s used in cancer care, in treating cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It’s not just used as a weight-loss supplement.
A lot of people have heard a lot about Green Tea and weight loss. It is a useful herb for weight loss because it, too, will improve fat metabolism. Green Tea also reduces appetite. It has a little bit of caffeine and the main medicinal component, ECGC. The decaffeinated form is not as effective for weight loss as the natural caffeinated form. It can be taken in capsules, or it can be taken as a beverage tea. When you take Green Tea in capsules, you want a fat-soluble capsule; it is much more effective. Green Tea really, really increases thermogenics, or energy expenditure (calorie burn), that can boost your metabolism by 4 percent a day.
Green Tea also helps keep blood sugar stable. That is why it reduces appetite. Keeping blood sugar stable is a big component of weight loss. If your blood sugar drops, your body will produce the stress hormone cortisol. That is a fat-storage hormone. Keeping your blood sugar stable during the day by eating small, frequent meals and not waiting too long to eat really makes weight loss much more efficient.
Green Tea is a fabulous antioxidant. It protects your cells from damage. Green Tea is also wonderful in cancer treatment and cancer prevention. There are many benefits to using Green Tea besides weight loss.
Gail Edgell: I know you spoke about Green Tea in a hot-tea formula, or a tea-bag formula. I know that there are hundreds out there on the market. What kind of Green Tea should people be purchasing?
Dr. Chilkov:Â Â Â When you buy teas, herbal medicines or nutritional supplements, you want to buy the absolute highest quality. Buying a cheap brand is not the best way to get a real therapeutic outcome.
Gail Edgell: Are there other supplements that women can possibly take?
Dr. Chilkov: There are two more that I wanted to discuss. One is carnitine. Carnitine is the main amino acid in our muscle. It is also very important for our brain. But carnitine is required for fat metabolism. Sometimes vegetarians have trouble with weight loss because they are carnitine-deficient. They have very little carnitine in their diet because carnitine primarily comes from flesh foods.
Carnitine is another supplement that increases fat-burning and builds muscle. There are certain groups of people who really want to be careful about losing too much muscle — for example, the elderly, people who have chronic illnesses, and people who have cancers. When we want to build muscle, we put carnitine in the body. We can also use it when we want to lose fat. Carnitine enters a pathway in the cell that is part of the energy factory inside the cell. If you push that forward, you are going to burn more fat. Carnitine is required for that pathway in our cells. Without carnitine, we cannot burn fat for energy. Therefore, carnitine will benefit people who are suffering from fatigue as well as obesity. Carnitine is also helpful in treating some forms of depression.
About 800 to 1,000 milligrams three times a day is the dose I recommend. Carnitine can be taken in a powder form or a capsule form. Some supplement companies even make it in a liquid form, which I have found is useful in children.
Gail Edgell: Is there a possibility that individuals can overdose on these? I know that you have been making some recommendations — for example, 800 to 1,000 milligrams of carnitine three times a day. If people were to take more than that, what would happen? Are they urinating it out?
Dr. Chilkov:Â Â Â There’s really not a lot of benefit from taking double or triple the doses. You want to stay in a therapeutic dose range, where you are going to alter your metabolism in a healthy way. I want to emphasize that what we want is healthy weight loss. And at the end of the weight loss, we want a healthy woman. If you lose weight in a healthy fashion, you will also keep it off. That will relieve you of yo-yo dieting.
Gail Edgell: You said that you had one last supplement to recommend?
Dr. Chilkov: I have one more that is not well known. It’s Coleus forskohlii, which is a plant. The main active constituent in that is called forskolin. Again, it increases your metabolism and thermogenesis — fat-burning, calorie burning and energy expenditure. The other thing about Coleus is that it will stimulate your thyroid. Of course, that will increase metabolism and weight loss as well.
Coleus also has another benefit in that it regulates insulin and blood sugar. I want to say a little bit about that because regulating insulin and blood sugar is another key to weight loss. CLA, which I mentioned at the beginning of this talk, also does that. You asked me why we gain weight around the middle as we age. The reason that happens is because a syndrome called insulin resistance develops. Insulin, the hormone that unlocks the door for sugar to go inside the cells, starts to become less efficient. We start to store our calories as fat rather than burn them as energy. When you use something like CLA or Coleus, you’re counteracting that pattern. That pattern develops more in people who abuse sugar and eat too many sweets. By limiting carbohydrates and sweets, you stop yourself from developing this fat storage around your abdomen due to insulin resistance. If you have a history of diabetes in your family, you are going to be much more prone to something like this.
Coleus is also a slight mood elevator. That, of course, will affect food cravings, our motivation to exercise and eat right. By dealing with things that affect our mood, levels of stress, anxiety and depression, we will be able to engage in healthy choices that cause us to be lean and to lose weight. I think it’s important to include things in your plan to address that aspect.
Gail Edgell: Did you say that Coleus forskohlii comes in a supplement form or liquid?
Dr. Chilkov: Typically, you will see it in capsule form. You will see weight-loss products that contain all of these ingredients. There are a number of good products out on the market, or variations of these. These four things that I have talked about can be used individually or together.
To summarize, what you want to do in a weight-loss program is make sure you are eating a diet that is appropriate for you. You do not want to be on an extreme low-calorie diet. You want a good balance between your proteins, carbohydrates and healthy fat. (Older women do better by limiting their carbohydrates. They will lose more weight by doing this because of the insulin relationship.) You want to have regular exercise. You want to make sure that you get adequate rest, keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day, and manage your stress well. If you do all of those things, you will become lean.
Gail Edgell: Sounds easier than it really is, right?
Dr. Chilkov:Â Â Â If you set up some structure for yourself and stick with it, this is not extreme. This is very doable.

Women Cure Your Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer In Women According to the American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association breast cancer is the most common disease found in women and is the second most major cause of death for them. Normally, the disease is not invasive until they reach their twenties. Every single year millions of women are diagnosed with breast cancer. As women get older, cancer screening visits increase and is the most common reason for office visits to their doctors. The biggest procedure women follow up when they visit their doctors is a mammogram. A mammogram is used to check the breast to determine if any cancer is present. The first question women usually have is what breast cancer is. Breast cancer is described as abnormal cells that have mutated and they are no longer normal. The next question asked is why so many women get breast cancer. There are many causes of this dreaded disease. In some women, it appears to form if their menstrual cycle begins too soon. The average age for women to start their menstrual cycle is around twelve year of age. However, for those that begin earlier, evidence has indicated that for many, this group runs the risk of getting breast cancer sometime in their life even before they reach thirty. If a woman has menopause after fifty, this can be the cause of a woman’s system to make hormones in her body change too late. Too much saturated fat in the diet can cause breast cancer. A diet including monounsaturated fats like canola oil and olive oil does not appear to induce or increase the chance of breast cancer. Many types of breast cancers are genetic in nature. If the family has a history of breast cancer, it is likely to be passed on to later generations. Women that have a history of a female family member who had breast cancer also have and increased probability of acquiring it. Women who take estrogen replacement therapy can also be cursed with this disease. This is mostly true if the therapy has been extended up to ten years. It is obvious that breast cancer is a grievous disease that should never be ignored. Women should schedule regular check-ups with their doctor especially when they have reached their twenties.
What Breast Cancer Is It is to your advantage to know just what breast cancer is so you will know how to fight it. Knowing what breast cancer is will make coping with it, and perhaps curing it, much easier. Breast cancer is a group of cells in the breast that have become abnormal for various reasons. Researchers suspect that some forms of bacteria get into normal cells and cause mutations. When this happens, the mutated cells then attack other normal cells and cause them to become mutated. Some cells wind up getting destroyed in the process. When many cells are altered in this way, cancer develops. Often a small amount of these mutated cells wind up being cancerous. This is why cancer often starts in a small section of the breast then outwardly spreads. If the cancer is not controlled or stopped, it can spread even beyond the breast and end up in other parts of the body. At that time it becomes imperative to quickly find a cure. Scientists know what breast cancer is. Researchers know that since cancer is a group of abnormal cells, they apply their research toward finding chemicals that can destroy the mutated cells, or alter them so they can repair themselves and become normal again. By finding what causes mutated cells to manifest may provide clues to the reason for their development in the body and find ways to actually reverse the process. This can help to avoid it in the future, especially for those who have already had it. Those who have never had it can take the necessary steps to keep it from ever happening. The Four Stages of Breast Cancer In order to cope with breast cancer, you need to examine the different stages so you can be better deal with it from the beginning. Breast cancer often occurs in stages. Many types of cancers spread at a slow rate while others spread more rapidly. There are cancers that grow predictable and there are types that spread randomly. The types of cancers that spread randomly are created by estrogen in the body. The stage that it is in will depend mainly on the size of the tumor and if the cancer has spread or not. Stage 0: Stage 0 is described as noninvasive carcinoma or carcinoma in situ. During this stage of development the cells are abnormal in the lining of the lobule (a small section of a lobe) and have not become cancerous yet. Stage 1: In stage 1, the tumor has become cancerous and has grown to an inch in diameter, but has not spread beyond the breast. Stage 2: With stage 2 one of three things has happened: (1) The cancerous tumor has grown to less than one inch in diameter and has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm (2) The cancerous tumor has grown to be about one and two inches, but has not yet reached the lymph nodes, but is headed in that direction (3) The cancerous tumor is larger than 2 inches in diameter and has not moved. Stage 3: The cancerous tumor has grown to more than two inches across, and has reached and penetrated the lymph nodes under the arm. In some cases this type of cancer has been known to spread to the lymph nodes adjacent to the breastbone, or other tissue near the breast. Stage 4: This is referred to as metastatic cancer. The cancer has spread beyond the breast, lymph nodes, and to other parts of the body. Despite all misconceptions, breast cancer is dangerous but it can be cured if discovered in time. Powerful Antioxidants In case you didn’t know, foreign bodies, (molecules known as free radicals), attack your body every single day. They are known as free radicals because they are roaming freely about. However, the first atom they find they will become attached to it. Once they become attached to the atom, the cell destroys what is there, or replaces the cell. When the replacement has been completed, the once healthy cell now becomes a bad cell. Then the bad cell converts healthy cell into bad ones. Given time, these groups of cells become mutated and cancerous. To reverse this process, you need a sufficient supply of antioxidants such as fruits, vegetables, and other important foods. The three most powerful antioxidants are beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Beta-carotene is what gives many fruits their appearance. It also stimulates the release of natural killer cells, which hunt down and destroy cancer cells before they can do any damage. It only takes about 15 to 30 milligrams a day to stop these free radicals and destroy them. You can find beta-carotene in cantaloupes, sweet potatoes, spinach, and bok choy (a Chinese cabbage with long white stalks and narrow green leaves. Latin name Brassica chinensis). Vitamin C is the next most powerful antioxidant. According to scientific studies at the University of California, those who took at least 66 milligrams of vitamin C every day, found their bodies to be free from any foreign antibodies. Vitamin E is the most versatile antioxidant. Vitamin E not only blocks free radicals, and also stops cancer by stimulating the immune system. When the immune system is engaged, it goes about its job of destroying bad cells in the body. The best way to acquire vitamin E is by eating wheat germ. Other foods that contain vitamin E are whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Breast Cancer Treatment Options There are many breast cancer treatment options available. According to many doctors and nutritionists, the best method is aimed at the food you eat. Research studies show foods that have healing properties are the best to consume, in order to get rid of breast cancer. What would these foods be? Nutritionist say that by eating lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes , you greatly reduce developing breast cancer. If you already have breast cancer, eating these kinds of foods gives you an excellent chance of having the cancer going away. How do these foods cause such healing? The same nutritionists speak about certain compounds in foods that actually help fight and prevent cancer at the cellular level. Phytonutrients, (substances that are found in plant food) have the ability to stop cancer. One good example of this type of plant food is broccoli. Broccoli contains phytonutrients called isothiocyanates. In lab tests, this chemical actually destroys cancer tissue. You will find phytonutrients in many other types of foods such as soybeans, tofu, tempeh, and soy milk. As for soy milk, this is really good for you if you are lactose intolerant, because it contains a soy product called genistein that stops the growth of tumors in tissue. For centuries it has been known that a perfect healer for many illnesses is garlic. It has a lot of phytonutrients and allyl sulfides. Allyl sulfides have been known to destroy cancer-causing substances in the body. For more free information, visit the link below http://bestchoiceebooks.com/cancer/optin.html

Wireless Broadband Internet
Wireless broadband internet is a huge advance in technology, providing a much faster connection to the internet, compared with outmoded methods, such as dial-up, on top of the benefit of being more convenient than a wired broadband internet connection. The reason is due to the fact that using wireless broadband internet enables a person to use a standard desktop computer in addition to other desktops, laptops, or game consoles throughout the house, without the drawbacks associated with a wired broadband connection.The drawbacks of a wired broadband connection include having to keep a main computer connected to the router, and depending on a particular family’s needs, utilizing a lot of unsightly network cables that may have to be tacked to walls or over doorways. Not many people want to have 50 foot network cables running from their main desktop to every room of the house just to accommodate the broadband needs of the family. This is where using wireless broadband internet comes in.The leading advantage of utilizing wireless broadband internet, for a technologically-inclined family, is the ability to use a game console such as the Wii, PS3, or Xbox 360, without interrupting other users in the home. While households without such capabilities, having to take turns (depending on how many connections their particular router hub is equipped with), and disconnecting and reconnecting cables so someone can switch to internet, or back to a game console, just becomes tiresome. Wireless users, however, are not hampered down with such restrictions on their usage. However, all of that is easily avoided when using wireless broadband internet and connecting all of the household’s technology to one wireless router. This leaves the home free from multiple network cables running all over the place, and allows everyone in the home to use multiple laptops, game consoles, or the home desktop, all at the same time.Networking an entire household to a wireless broadband internet connection is virtually hassle-free once all household technology is connected to the router. A decent wireless router can cost, on average, around $60.00, and can be found at retailers such as Best Buy, TigerDirect.com, or newegg.com, but can also be rented from a cable service provider, such as Verizon, Charter, or DirecTV, for a monthly fee of around $5.99 a month.Saving time by not having to disconnect and reconnect a network cable every time someone wants to use the laptop, the computer or the Wii is definitely worth the price.

Since the Agency always takes care to ensure that the client does not become a defaulter, a continuous non-default record over 12 months can suitable affect the credit rating of the client positively. However, the debtors should also view their credit profiles at all the three major credit reporting agencies at least once a year. That means they may obtain their free or paid credit reports from Experian, Equifax, or Trans Union annually to know exactly how they stand in terms of credit rating.
Debt Consolidation and Loan Prospects
Many prospective clients would have questions about debt consolidation and future loan prospects while enrolling with Trinity Debt Management services.
- Trinity does not support debt consolidation or credit card consolidation since they are too expensive in the long run.
- Such consolidation can put to risk the most valuable assets a debtor might have.
- On the contrary, the Trinity Debt Management Program ensures that the client pays less interest on credit cards and gets out of the debt at a faster pace without risking the personal assets.
- Membership in the program does not prevent the client from buying a home or a car and get loan for that. When the prospective lender will find that the prospective borrower is enrolled under debt management program, they may consider the client as an acceptable risk.
Bottom line of all these is that the Trinity Debt Management Program is aimed a re-establishment of the credit history of the client and though this does not happen overnight, the end results would be good for the borrower.

- Buy tickets 3-5 months before your departure date
Some airlines offer discounts for early buyers. It’s also best to buy your tickets at least 20 days in advance to ensure the best seating possible, most discounted tickets sell out fast. You should also know that Airline Tickets are subject to price increase, especially during Christmas season, so buying early avoids further ticket increase.
If you’re planning a trip, plan to leave on weekdays, preferable Monday to Wednesday. Weekends are high traffic times, for travelers and would probably cost you an additional $25-$40 increase.
Airlines tend to increase ticket prices during Peak travel season due to the increase in demand. Traveling during low season is also advantageous if you want to avoid airport and tourist spot crowds. If you really have to travel during peak season, consider leaving home early and going home late to avoid the rush.
Yes your travel stay also affects airline ticket prices. Airlines give discounts if you stay at least a week at your destination and return within 90 days.
Contrary to popular belief, direct flights aren’t always the cheapest. Some people have saved up to $1000 dollars on booking connecting instead of Direct flights. If you don’t have a lot of luggage, and aren’t very particular with time, it is best, and a lot cheaper to book a connecting flight instead of direct.
Some Airlines offer the same senior Citizen discount for the companions of the Senior Citizen. Ask if it’s available.
Call Airlines at 12:01 am on Wednesday mornings. This is when airlines release all the new fares and seat plans. You can be first and choose the best and cheapest tickets at this time.
The best feature of the internet is that you see all available Prices from a very convenient place, your home. You won’t have to canvass travel agencies. Some internet sites even offer internet only discounts that you can benefit from if you use their services.
Check first with travel agents regarding prices, Internet prices aren’t always the cheapest, it’s best to ask a good old travel agent. It won’t hurt to look at news papers too, as some airlines publish discounts on print. If you’re planning to buy more than 6 months in advance, it’s probably best to ask a travel guide as internet sites don’t usually have schedules for longer than six months.
Airline travel discounts are everywhere; you just need to know how to find them! I hope that with these tips, that’s exactly what you are going to be able to do. Now go out there and get that lowest fare air ticket! Happy travels.

When the user first opens the application it straightaway prompts you to select the region of the world where you are located, plus the languages in which the user will like to see the contents.
ReutersThe wire rival of Associated Press, Reuters also earned a definite spot on the list of news prone websites and applications. Its collection of video clips, regarding news is also very impressive and the Reuters application is also a very good and substantial source for all kind of international news contents as well. The PRI commonly known as Public Radio International is also a great app for its very innovative approach towards the news items and the alternative reporting thing.
BBC News AppWell for the all the news lovers, this is a sort of a safe haven. The BBC news app has very personalized news contents.

You can either watch videos or listen to audio news. Whatever your choice is, there is no compromise on quality.
AL JazeeraFor the westerns, Al Jazeera might not be a good buy because this particular news providing entity has always been accused of providing terrorist propaganda prone news. But the role of this News entity in the Arab Region is one of the most critical, as it is the only news channel that provides up to date international news. It offers a huge array of interesting and very fascinating news items that western news sources avoid.
New York Times & Wall Street JournalOther notably good source of news that you can get from your iPhone includes the Wall Street Journal application and my personal favorite, The New York Times application Both of the apps have some exciting contents and they give very useful insight on international affairs.
NPRFinally, if you want to have an all in one news app for your iPhone, where you can skim through all the international and national news, then you should go for the National Public Radio App. The reporting is indeed outstanding and the multimedia contents archives are huge.

Uses of Permanent Life Insurance in Estate Planning
An estate is the total sum of all the assets you leave behind after you die. The distribution of these assets is usually pre-determined through a Will. If there is no Will the execution of all assets is usually decided by a court of law. An estate could be as simple as naming a beneficiary for your 401(k) or it may require creating several trusts in order to distribute a vast estate.Many people are under the mistaken impression that estate planning is required only when you are wealthy. Regardless of how much money you have, calculating the value of all your assets against your liabilities will help you determine exactly how much your family will be impacted financially, if you were to die suddenly. Many people are surprised to learn that the total gross worth of their estate could be liable for federal estate taxation after considering all their assets in addition to the value of their life insurance policies.
Estate Planning – Using Life Insurance as a Tool to Protect your EstateEstate planning makes sure that your heirs/beneficiaries receive your estate in full. If you did not do any estate planning, your children may not be able to afford paying estate taxes. In such a case, they would be forced to liquidate some of your assets in order to pay these taxes, leaving them with a smaller fraction of your estate.Should I Purchase Permanent or Term Life Insurance?When you want to use life insurance for estate planning purposes, permanent or whole life insurance is the best way to go. With a term life insurance policy, you run the risk of the policy expiring before you do, leaving your family unprotected at the time of your death, which is when coverage for this purpose is specifically needed. Whole life insurance is life-long and premiums generally paid throughout life or up to the age of 100. Whole life accrues interest which may be used to pay premiums when the policy has matured to a certain level.How to Use Life Insurance in Estate PlanningA permanent life insurance policy can be used in several ways for estate planning. Create an estate for your children. Life insurance is typically used to compensate for loss of income when a breadwinner/caretaker dies. Life insurance needs are most critical when you are just beginning your career, you have a young family to support and a high mortgage to pay. Life insurance, at this time, can help create an estate that your dependents can rely on.Equalize your children’s inheritance. If you own a business, it only makes sense that you would want to leave your business to children who are actively involved in the business. In this case, heirs who are not actively involved in your business can be compensated by designating them as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy.The same holds true for any properties or fixed assets that cannot be broken such as your family home or farm. Your heirs can receive equal shares of all assets. The life insurance proceeds each child receives can then be used to buy out the shares of other family members.You may have children from a first marriage that you want to include in your estate. In such a case, leaving your estate to your second wife and children born through her would leave nothing for the children born from your first marriage. Children from the first marriage have a right to contest for inheritance. You may avoid fighting and ill disputes after your death by designating the children from your first wise as beneficiaries of your life insurance policy.Life insurance can be used as an instrument to effectively plan taxation. This is useful when the total value of your estate exceeds the federal tax exclusion. Life insurance proceeds are typically not subject to income tax, but the proceeds can be liable to federal estate taxation. For 2010 and 2011, the taxable estate exemption thresholds for an individual are $5 million (up from $3.5 million in 2009). For married couples, this threshold is $10 million and it applies to both estate and gift-tax levies. The top tax rates for estates above these levels are 35 percent. Estates that are worth $5 million or less will not be liable to federal taxing.If you own all or part of the policy when you die, the proceeds from death benefits can be included in the gross value of your estate for federal estate tax purposes. State inheritance taxes and federal gift taxes may also be applicable to life insurance proceeds under specific conditions.Federal law requires that you pay taxes on your estate upon your death. For this reason, estate tax is also sometimes called a death tax! Estate planning involves taking care of your financial portfolio in such a way that you pay the least amount of taxes, if any. A life insurance policy can be used to offset the amount of tax likely to be applicable on your estate.Build up your estate. You can use life insurance as a means to build your estate providing money for your heirs so that they have a sound financial inheritance.A valuable tool for estate planning is a survivorship or a -œsecond to die- policy. This type of life insurance policy insures a married couple and pays death benefits only when the last surviving spouse dies. The policy itself is usually owned by a trust or children of legal age in order to keep the proceeds out of the estate. After the death of both partners, a survivorship life insurance policy can help offset federal taxes and replace assets used to pay off any debts. Premiums of a survivorship policy are usually lower, even if one partner has health concerns.ConclusionYou can make estate planning through life insurance work to your advantage. Life insurance should be a vital component of any estate plan. It can be used to provide income to your beneficiaries, education for your children, pay off debts such as a mortgage, replace wealth lost due to expenses and taxes incurred after your death. You can also use it to make gifts to your favorite charity.Continue to assess your life insurance every year as family and estate needs change. These changes must be reflected in your life insurance so that you don’t wind up paying too much or too little for life insurance.About AccuQuote:AccuQuote is a leader in providing term life quotes to people across the United States.

The Rising Trend of Green Living
Green living is an attempt to carry out our life in an environmentally friendly and responsible manner and practices the conservation of resources,recycling, sustainability, green building, alternative energy and other environmental topics.It is also an attempt to minimize the size of our ecological footprints.
All across the globe, green living is now on the rise. In many cities across the world, recycling has taken off and in some cases it has become part of people’s lifestyle. It is also a necessity to many cultures that have limited resources and do not have the funds to buy new items constantly.
In recent years, many eco-friendly cleaning and pesticide products have been developed for use in the home. Instead of chemical-based aerosols, more natural ingredients are used in the cleaning agents and bug-killing aerosols. These are better for you and the environment.
Organic gardening is also gaining popularity. By eliminating the harsh chemicals that are released into the air and soil, they make all living things and the environment healthier.
Many green living enthusiasts have taken to walking and riding bicycles to help save the air from the toxic emission of vehicles. Carpool is also one other way to reduce the traffic. In this way, they help the air become more breathable again.
By using more biodegradable products that can be easily recycled we can help to keep the landfills from growing out of hand with all the trash that we throw out which would not break down or will just contaminate the environment.
Many have turned to cutting down on energy costs by using less energy in their homes. This is much better for the environment. Most energy saving tips is inexpensive and easy for anyone to follow.
Water usage is coming down over the last decade. As more people are aware of global warming, more people will try to save the water supply by using less water in their daily activities.
Some people are even choosing to repair the broken appliances instead of sending them off to the landfill. This not only helps the environment, but also saves people a lot of money in some cases. If it can be easily repaired, why not avoid throwing a perfectly good item away?
The bottom line is – more people are starting to care about the planet. By doing everything they can, the earth will continue to be a wonderful place to live for future generations that will inhabit it.
Turn Your Commitment Around
How many of you have made a commitment to lack, despair, or better yet to what is not going your way? Most individuals are heading in the wrong direction making many wrong turns and following many detours, instead of making a commitment to what it is they truly want. Many set goals, write our their wishes and have great intentions but than do not follow through and focus on a daily basis with what needs to get done in order to make it happen.
The truth is you must walk the straight line to achieve what it is you want. I recently had the opportunity to work with an aspiring singer. As I was coaching her in my “Lifestyle Makeover Program” she became extremely clear on the type of music she wishes to create but she lacked focus on how she was going to reach her goal. She also needed to understand and create the image of how she wishes people to perceive her. You see she needed to set the groundwork, her own foundation of what she really wants. Her soul, mind and body all need to be in alignment in order for her to create her true reality.
When she first came to me she was focusing on various different avenues to make her singing career happen. She thought of becoming a producer, working on a radio show; her mind was working hard to come up with all sorts of approaches and techniques but she failed to focus on what was her true passion — singing. I asked her what she was doing to bring her singing career into the foreground. In order for her to accomplish her goals, her heart’s desires it is imperative for her to create a system where her singing becomes her primary goal because that is her passion, her love.
I recommended that she check on places and opportunities where she could utilize her singing talents in order to help her get the energy out to the Universe. For it is through our ability to ignite our energy in a positive and fruitful way that the Universe response in kind and matches our vibrations. It is this process that enables us to create our desired results.
Most people do not understand that we never work alone. Once you make a commitment and begin walking nine steps forward honoring what it is you truly wish, the Universe jumps in to begin working with you and helps you complete the journey. You and the Universe become a team working together. As you begin to dance with the Universe you create a rhythm and a flow as to where you want to go and the Universe matches your rhythm and flows and places the right people and opportunities in your path as you manifest in an easy and effortless fashion. This process begins the outline or foundation of your journey which leads to you fulfilling your destiny. The Universe cannot help you, if you do not stay on the straight path — walking confidently and with a deep inner knowingness that you will accomplish that which you set out to do.
It is time to turn around your commitment! On a daily consistent basis you must do something positive towards strengthening your commitment.
You cannot focus on what is not going your way or what you do not have. You must pay attention to what it is you are creating.What commitment are you making to you? If you do not believe in you and your ability to get what you desire, you will not accomplish it.Write out how you see the end result happening.Then what on a daily basis can you do in order to create momentum and speed to make this happen?
How often do you focus on your end result? You must create a detailed game plan that you need to follow on a daily basis. I often use the term “blueprint.” You must create a system that will help you put in place the method or approach for you to follow consistently in order to build momentum. Your blueprint will help you stay focused and on track. You can draft your blueprint as grand or as small as you want depending on the details of the commitment you are planning to make for yourself. One thing for sure to remember is you need to set yourself up to win, therefore, I encourage you to be realistic and honest with yourself and create a system that you know you will follow.
Fundamentals are very important: Begin by laying out the foundation for what it is you want. I find that it can be helpful if you write out your end result first and then create and least eight to nine steps that you know for sure you can do. Too often we make excuses for ourselves and ignore the truth. So again, I encourage you to make a commitment to yourself that you will keep. Then and only then will you begin to turn your commitment around and see some positive results.
Visualization is a powerful tool: Visualize you creating the commitment and following through. Possibly you can do a visualization exercise every morning before you get out of bed and every evening before you go to sleep. It can be a wonderful way for you to strengthen your resolve.
How does this feel to you to actually see yourself creating the steps to make your goals a reality?
Believe in you and your abilities: You must believe that you can keep your commitment and implement positive change in your life in order for you to do this.
Please be honest with yourself. If right now this does not feel 100 percent correct and possible, do not despair and beat yourself up. All that means is you need to clear away any emotional blockages that has been holding you back. What this also means is you are close to a wonderful breakthrough.
Releasing blockages from the past: When you realize that it is time to release all those emotions and beliefs from your past that have held you back, you will take the necessary steps to heal and grow. Remember the first step is awareness. In life it is so important to let go of what is weighing you down so you can make room for what it is you are wishing to bring in.
Most people do not succeed in life because hopeless energy or old thoughts and patterns are still running their lives. The only way to turn your commitment around is to make sure all your internal energy and dialogue is flowing in the same direction. That is called being in balance and harmony with the Universe.
How does one do this? In order to release your emotions you must first understand why you have needed them in the first place. Every experience in life is a lesson. Yes, some are harder to learn from than others. Every emotion has a voice, be still and listen to the truth of what is going on –Then you will begin to know and understand your lessons and what has become your story. To help you with the process of sorting through your story and your life’s lessons, ask yourself if you can understand the root of when this began for you? Who else in your environment has a similar story to yours or the same emotions? See if there is a pattern from your family or if a specific pattern has been the foundation of all your life situations and circumstances.
If you can understand why you are reliving an emotional experience you can release it and replace it with exactly what you do wish to be feeling on a continual basis. Please understand this can take sometime because you are actually re-programming your thoughts, behavior and environment to create a better and improved life. Everyone goes at their own pace with what they are truly ready to deal with and understand, so I encourage you to be patient with you. This is a process but if handled with love and respect will reap many benefits.
All of my products deal with emotional clearing work. Please understand that we all have emotional baggage to deal with that is why my clearing meditation CDs are valuable and beneficial tools to help you on your journey. They are powerful and valuable products to help you heal and grow so that you can create the change you are looking for in your life and have the transformation that your Soul is longing for. Anything is possible if you can imagine it.
Once your emotions are under control and are not running your life then you will begin to be truthful with yourself and your genuine commitment will enable you to continue to build the life that serves your heart and soul. When you are in the flow, your momentum and speed will take you in n the right direction; you are on the right path.
Your commitment to your excellence, your ability to make powerful decisions and your focus of intention will strength and reinforce your direction and guide your journey. As you begin to gain inner confidence and wisdom your belief system will begin to change and your mind will now take an active part in assisting you to go in the right direction. As you grow more and more to believe in you and your power, ideas will come into your minds eye to assist you in your path — now you know you are going in the right direction.
Your mind can help you in any situation or your mind can keep you from your desired direction. This is why it is so important for you to understand that you are in control of your fate and your destiny. You and only you control your thoughts and only you can truly heal your emotions by releasing the feelings of what others have either taught you or how they have made you feel.
When you turn around your commitment and are clear as to the direction you are now going in allow yourself to go the extra mile for yourself. What I mean by this is create the energy and momentum to allow you to utilize your time and energy only in the direction you truly wish to go in. You will begin to create a flow in your life. Stay on the straight path. If you begin getting pulled in a different direction you must re-focus and re-direct your thoughts and actions.
Check in with your Soul and be clear on your purpose and desired goals. Are you running because you are afraid or because you wish to move in a different direction?
Maintaining your focus, determination and decide your outcome. Do you want to live at your peak potential or is being mediocre acceptable to you? You must know what level of playing field you want to be in. This determines how you will play your game of life. This will also decide your fate. Therefore, in order to make a powerful commitment and achieve a desired result in life, you must actively walk in that direction. Visualize and see yourself actually doing what needs to be done to accomplish your desired results. Feel comfortable with being an active participant in your life and feel yourself not only receiving your desires but also achieving them with the help of your team.
Make this process fun. If you are going to continually become frustrated or angry than you must clear and deal with that energy. All heavy emotions can and will stop the flow of you moving in your desired direction.
Remember once you make the powerful decision to walk forward with your strong and sincere commitment many doors will open up for you; therefore, I encourage you to become prepared mentally, physically, and emotionally.
A powerful tool to assist you to not only turn around your commitment but to also to go to a deeper level of commitment with yourself is my “Coaching Collection Series.” This instructional and inspirational series will assist you to stay on track on a daily basis as you listen to one of the twelve CDs on a consistent basis.

Town Resident Unveils Collection of Classic Cars
What comprises a real car collection? How can you say if a collection is really a collection? Things can be really subjective. There are times when you find it hard to define some things. There are times when there are even tons of exceptions you then find it hard to really see the real deal.
In the case of Matt Garrett, a resident of Carrollton in Texas, most people think that he is a simple car enthusiast. However, Garrett himself believes that he is more than that, reports The Carrollton Leader Star. He someone believes that he is a collector of some of the best and the most popular vehicles which roamed the streets during the 1970s and the 1980s. At present, he has 17 of his collected vehicles parked idly in his garage while the rest of the whole 28 lot is parked in various locations. Included in his list of vehicles he has collected are a 1960 Cadillac series convertible painted in black, a 1965 Cobra painted in gray, a 1963 Grand Sport Corvette which comes in red, and a 1985 BMW 745-I turbo executive unit in black. He is quite proud with his current collection for all of them are in real good condition. One who has been able to take a peep at what he has accumulated could say that his cars may have just been rolled off the assembly plants and then delivered, not driven, to the garage. Some of what he considers as the most used units in his lot has registered under 10,000 miles and there are only a few of those. The rest of the vehicles have just not met the real pavements. Since he was a little kid, Garrett had already developed a love for vehicles. His father and mother did not seem to relate to his passion and they constantly informed him that a vehicle was just a vehicle and nothing more. But to Garrett, vehicles were far more than that and by the early age of 14, he was already employed in a Dallas Cadillac dealership. In preserving his collection, Garrett shared, -œPreserving cars is not something you can learn in school. It’s not like I can go to class and learn how to take care of cars. The thing that I have learned about taking care of cars has come from my professional experience and some trial and error. Being a car collector is more along the lines of being a museum curator, but you need tons of mechanical experience.- To most people in the world a vehicle is a simple vehicle just like Chrysler Windsor parts are still auto parts. Garrett’s passion just goes beyond that.

The Ups and Downs of Being a Photographer
Most photographers today are self-employed or freelance photographers who carry out assignments under direct contract with the clients.  They market their work through stock-photo agencies that pay them on a commission basis. Other freelance photographers sell their product directly to the public.
The competition in photography industry is very rigid. Skills and marketing strategies are vital for a photographer to excel in this field. Even those who are able to seek employment in photojournalism, industrial photography, sports photography, and fine arts photography have to continuously refine their skills to sustain the quality of their work.
For those professional photographers who become successful in the business, photography might seem to be a glamorous career, a relaxing, chilled out job with less worries and hassles. This is why so many are willing to be in the profession. However, for starters and those who failed to find their luck, photography can be very challenging and stressful.
Photography hobbyists who want to be professional photographers have a passion for the job. Being in love with what you do is by far the most important thing needed to become successful in this profession. When you enjoy what you are doing, it makes the job a lot easier and makes all the effort worthwhile.
You can do the job better if your chosen career path is photography. Irving has a community of photographers that are aware of the challenges of the job, but they don’t forget the business side of the profession, which can be very rewarding if you’ll just put your heart and mind to it. That is why most of them excel in the industry.
Some photographers in Texas work in dangerous surroundings (such as civil unrest in Irving). Photography is an enjoyable profession, but it can also put your life at risk. Sometimes the job can be very demanding, especially if you are to wait for long hours in all kinds of weather for an event to take place while carrying your equipment.
News photographers are usually freelancers who sell their work to news agencies. However, they often work under strict deadlines. Though self-employment allows greater autonomy and flexible scheduling, those who freelance for news agencies are under a tight schedule. Income can be uncertain in this kind of photography. Irving news agencies pay their work per photo used in the news.

The Health Benefits of Dancing — Including Specific Benefits of Different Dances
If you secretly sashay across your living room when you’re
home alone or long to cha-cha with your significant other,
you’re in luck. Not only is dancing an exceptional way to
let loose and have fun, but it also provides some terrific
benefits for your health.
In fact, Mayo Clinic researchers reported that social dancing
helps to:
Reduce stress
Increase energy
Improve strength
Increase muscle tone and coordination
And whether you like to kick up your heals to hip hop, classical
or country, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
says that dancing can:
Lower your risk of coronary heart disease
Decrease blood pressure
Help you manage your weight
Strengthen the bones of your legs and hips
Dancing is a unique form of exercise because it provides
the heart-healthy benefits of an aerobic exercise while also
allowing you to engage in a social activity. This
is especially stimulating to the mind, and one 21-year study
published in the New England Journal of Medicine even found
dancing can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other
forms of dementia in the elderly.
In the study, participants over the age of 75 who engaged
in reading, dancing and playing musical instruments and board
games once a week had a 7 percent lower risk of dementia compared
to those who did not. Those who engaged in these activities
at least 11 days a month had a 63 percent lower risk!
Interestingly, dancing was the only physical activity out
of 11 in the study that was associated with a lower risk of
dementia. Said Joe Verghese, a neurologist at Albert Einstein
College of Medicine and a lead researcher of the study, “This
is perhaps because dance music engages the dancer’s mind.”
Verghese says dancing may be a triple benefit for the brain.
Not only does the physical aspect of dancing increase blood
flow to the brain, but also the social aspect of the activity
leads to less stress, depression and loneliness. Further,
dancing requires memorizing steps and working with a partner,
both of which provide mental challenges that are crucial for
brain health.
How Good of a Workout is Dancing, Really?
The amount of benefit you get from dancing depends on, like
most exercises, the type of dancing you’re doing, how strenuous
it is, the duration and your skill level.
Says exercise physiologist Catherine Cram, MS, of Comprehensive
Fitness Consulting in Middleton, Wisconsin, “Once someone
gets to the point where they’re getting their heart rate up,
they’re actually getting a terrific workout. Dance is a weight-bearing
activity, which builds bones. It’s also “wonderful”
for your upper body and strength.”
Plus, dancing requires using muscles that you may not even
know you had.
“If you’re dancing the foxtrot, you’re taking long,
sweeping steps backwards. That’s very different than walking
forward on a treadmill or taking a jog around the neighborhood
… Ballroom dancing works the backs of the thighs and
buttock muscles differently from many other types of exercise,”
says Ken Richards, professional dancer and spokesman for USA
Dance, the national governing body of DanceSport (competitive
ballroom dancing).
Specific Benefits of Different Dances
If you’re looking for specific health results, here’s a breakdown
of the benefits of some popular dances. Just remember that
any type of dancing is better than no dancing at all!
Belly Dancing
Improved posture and muscle toning
Maintains flexibility
Helps prevent lower back problems
Tones and firms arms and shoulders
Helps with weight loss
Helps prepare women for childbirth
Reduces stress
Dancing Off Those Calories
How many calories will you burn while dancing? That
depends on the type of dancing. Here’s a range of some
of the most popular varieties, based on a 150-pound
person, per hour:
Swing dancing: 235 calories/hour
Ballroom dancing: 265
Square dancing: 280
Ballet: 300
Belly dancing: 380
Salsa dancing: 420+
Aerobic dancing: 540+
Ballroom Dancing
Conditions the body
Helps keep the heart in shape
Builds and increases stamina
Develops the circulatory system
Strengthens and tones legs and body
Increases flexibility and balance
Helps with weight loss
Relieves stress
Salsa Dancing
Builds endurance and stamina
Helps with weight loss
Relieves stress
Helps you release toxins via sweating
May help lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol
levels
Can lead to a reduced heart rate over time
Square Dancing
Provides cardiovascular conditioning
May lead to a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure
and an improved cholesterol profile
Strengthens bones
Helps you develop strong social ties
Loosens and tones muscles
Physical benefits aside, dancing has a way of brightening
up a person’s day, says ballroom owner and operator Karen
Tebeau.
“A lot of times, when people come into the studio, it’s
because there’s been a change in their life: a divorce or
they’ve been through a period of depression. They (continue)
coming in, and you see a big change. After a while, they’re
walking in with a sunny expression. You know it’s the dancing
that’s doing that,” she says.
