A New ADHD Drug On The Horizon

A new ADHD drug, Attenace, will likely hit pharmacy shelves in early 2006. This "new" ADHD drug isn?t actually so new to the about 20,000 people currently taking Provigil "off-label" for ADHD. Attenace contains modafinil, the same active ingredient in the narcolepsy drug Provigil.
Modafinil is a stimulant drug that is chemically unrelated to the other stimulant ADHD medications. Although Attenace is a stimulant medication, it is not classified as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act. This translates to the convenience of phone-in refills and less prescription hassles at the pharmacy.
Attenace has a different chemical structure but it still poses many side effects consistent with the side effects of the other stimulant ADHD medications. Th View the rest of this article

Increasing Flexibility?Not Stretching? Is The Fastest Way To A Better Golf Swing

Flexibility is quite often a misunderstood principle, but most of us know it is important to golf. Before we discuss flexibility and its relevance to golf we need to start with: ?What in the #$%#%$#% is flexibility anyways??
It is a simple question yet one that is not easy to answer. I imagine that most of you come up with some definition that is something to the effect of ?Flexibility is stretching, right?? That answer is partially correct. Flexibility training incorporates stretching techniques. However, it is NOT limited to traditional stretching, and the two terms cannot be used interchangeably.
We Should Talk About What Flexibility Means
According the National Academy of Sports Medicine, flexibility can be defined as the normal extensibility of all s View the rest of this article

If You Have Been In An Accident, Do You Need A Lawyer?

If you have been in an accident, whether at work, in an automobile or under some other circumstances, you may be wondering if you need to seek the advice and counsel of an attorney. On one hand there are the advertisements by lawyers on television that insist that you need their help to protect your rights. On the other hand, the insurance company that is handling your claim may insist that they are doing everything necessary for your interest and health. Who should you believe?
In most cases it is advisable to seek the counsel of an attorney. Even if you do not end up hiring him or her to represent you, it is a good idea to at least consult with them to make sure that you understand all of the legal repercussions of your injury. Many times, certain laws or right View the rest of this article

Wearing Your Baby

If you're looking for the perfect gift for the parents-to-be, nothing comes close to the gift of a wearable baby. Years ago, the only way to take your baby along was in a stroller or pram, or to carry her in your arms. All that changed with the introduction of the soft baby carrier, a way to carry your baby and still leave your arms and hands free for other things.
Wearable babies are not a concept new to this culture. Native American women carried their babies on papoose boards on their backs, or tucked close against their bodies with a swath of deerskin. In many countries, babies are tucked into sling carriers - pleated lengths of cloth that tie over one shoulder and support the baby against the opposite hip. There's little doubt in anyone's mind that babies wh View the rest of this article

Using Flower Essences For Emotional Healing

About Flower Essence Therapy
Use of flower essences is an extremely safe therapy for shifting emotional states which may be causing or perpetuating outward physiological illness. Developed by homeopath, naturopath, and allopath Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930's, these liquid preparations are intended to work in subtle ways on one's emotional/spiritual energetic patterns. Through repeated dosage, essences have helped individuals release 'negative' emotions or fears, and support transformation to higher states of health and wellness.
While a few 'formal' methods are given, there are no hard-and-fast rules for the use of flower essences. It can be best to begin with one of the 'commonly' prescribed methods, and explore creative ways to incorporate the flowers View the rest of this article

How To Get eBay Coupons.

You have to be very lucky to be one of the chosen few who receive an eBay coupon by email. These coupons are just like cash that you can use towards anything you buy on eBay – the only conditions being that you pay using PayPal, and that you are using eBay in the USA, Canada or the UK.
There are two ways to get eBay coupons.
Wait for that Email.
Of course, if you just wait, you’ll be waiting for a long time. You have to do something to make yourself look like the kind of person eBay would want to tempt back with a coupon. If you open an account, buy a few medium-value things and then suddenly stop, the chances are you’ll find yourself with some kind of special offer – but still, not always.

8 Tips For Picking The Perfect Wedding Dress

When little girls spend their math classes daydreaming of weddings (instead of winning the World Series -- not to say you can't do both), what do they dream of first? The perfect wedding dress, of course: a gown in white satin with a bustle and sweeping train, the perfect embellishments, and the perfect shoes.
There are few occasions in our modern world where a woman finds herself in a position to wear a no-holds-barred ball gown, much less a crystal tiara, and all too many where she's called on to wear to a neutral suit or uninspiring "biz-caz" combo. No wonder that with so many brides, their wedding plans start with the dress.
Many of these brides are lucky. They may search high and low, braving chilly department stores and pushy bridal shops, but eventuall View the rest of this article

Home A Loan

The number of homeowners taking out secured loans is set to slow down over the next five years according to analysts at Datamonitor. Over the past five years, the market for secured loans has increased by over 50%, however predictions indicate that loans secured against property will only increase at a rate of 5.3% a year up to 2009. Last year, ?0?16bn was borrowed by homeowners secured against the value of their property but according to Datamonitor this will rise to ?0?14bn a year by 2009.

How To Determine What’s Really Selling On Ebay.

If you want to make the most money you can on eBay, then you need to know what sells. But how can you find that out?
The Manual Way.
If you’re just starting out, you might find it easier to simply go to your category, tick ‘Completed listings’ in the left-hand menu, and then click the ‘Show items’ button. Sort them by highest price first, and there you have it: the items that sell for the highest prices. In most categories this will change often, but it’s still useful to know – if you think you can get an item quickly for less than the kind of prices it is selling for, then go for it.
eBay's search interface can be slow and hard to use, however, and you’re unlikely to discover everything you could learn this way. There’s more than one way to do things, th View the rest of this article

Toss Your Credit Card Debt And Add Real Alternatives

Did you get an easy credit card in college? Or, are you someone who got one for the convenience of being able to pay without cash? Not aware of other easy ways to borrow money?
Millions of us do this thanks to the unavoidable advertising of the credit card industry. Few people realize just how many alternatives to credit cards there are. There are others ways of using credit without finding yourself swimming in credit card debt.
Let?s take a look at a few.

Debit cards are often used in many European countries but are relatively unheard of elsewhere. Basically, they?re just like credit cards and are accepted everywhere credit cards are accepted.

The Willingness To Heal

I have counseled individuals, couples, families and business partners for the past 35 years and authored eight published books. All this experience has resulted in the development of a profound healing process, called Inner Bonding, which anyone can learn and use throughout the day (free course available - see resource box at the end of the article). The first step of this process is willingness.
We cannot begin a journey without our willingness to do so. Without our willingness to do whatever it takes to heal, we will not begin the journey of healing and evolving our soul. Doing whatever it takes means that we are ready and willing to feel, learn about and take full responsibility for our own feelings - our own pain, fear, anger, hurt, aloneness, loneliness, dis View the rest of this article

The Evolution Of Video Poker

Video poker has been around for over 30 years. It started out when casinos noticed that many people liked to play cards but were too scared to actually sit down at a poker table. Video poker allowed these players to play poker without having to look their opponents in the eye. With the explosion of online casinos Video Poker’s popularity grew exponentially. This growth in turn led to the development of new versions of video poker. Here we'll take a look at some of the more important developments in the video poker world.
1. Multi Hand Video Poker
Multi Hand Video Poker is like "normal" video poker on steroids. As its name implies, you're playing more then one hand at a time. Common variations include Jacks or Better (of course), 10's Or Better, Deuces Wild an View the rest of this article

How To Use Ebay’s “Featured Gallery” Section.

The ‘featured gallery’ is a little-known and little-used eBay feature, but that’s part of its power: it is far more used by buyers than it is by sellers, which means you can pick up some new buyers by advertising there.
Basically, the featured gallery works a lot like ‘Featured Plus’ for normal listings, which shows your item before all the other results. Buying a ‘Featured Gallery’ listing shows your listing at the top when someone chooses to use the picture gallery instead of the list view.
Which Picture Gallery?
Exactly – you’ve probably got no idea what I’m talking about, since it’s such a little-used and well-hidden feature. Try doing a search for an item. Do you see just above the results, where you can choose between ‘List View’ and ‘Picture Galler View the rest of this article

Rewarding Award Plaques

When you think about contests or other various events when human skill or genius is being acknowledge, there are always various types of award plaques that are being handed out to either the contest winners or just to the persons who are being honored at a certain event.
In spite of the awarding ceremony being a small part of the whole program, the award plaques are clearly an important part of the whole event. Without it the contest or the event would not really have a highlight and really, there is not fun when there are no awards that are being handed out.
You can be sure that the organizers of the event or contest have really taken their time in coming up with the kind of award plaques that really befits the winners of the person who is being honored.

Asbestos Mesothelioma- A Deadly Disease

Asbestos- the Main Culprit behind Asbestos Mesothelioma
Asbestos mesothelioma is a rare but dangerous cancer caused by exposure to asbestos particles suspended in the air. Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring silicate minerals. It is made up of strong and durable fibers that are resistant to heat and fire. Thin long and flexible structure of asbestos fibers allows you to weave them even into cloth. These inherent qualities of asbestos prompted the manufacturers of industrial, automotive, maritime, scientific, building and consumer products to use it widely during 1890-1970.

Forgiveness: Why?

Forgiveness is a self-empowering act of the highest order. It is not something you do to let someone else ?off the hook,? but a decision you make to free up your own energy. You may be amazed at just how much more energy you?ll have when you forgive. There?s a saying which goes, ?If you want to get out of debt, forgive.? This is not just true of monetary debt, but any kind of energy debt. If you are physically ill, or simply chronically tired, you will want to search your soul to see who it is that you need to forgive. The energy tied up in maintaining a grudge is greater than you may realize.
When you harbor anger toward another person, (or people, or situation, or even yourself) you maintain a set of invisible lines over which your energy continue View the rest of this article

20th Century Home Decorating Guide

The custom of appropriate and harmonious treatment of home decorating, interior decorations and suitable furniture, seems to have been in a great measure abandoned during the present century, owing perhaps to the indifference of architects of the time to this subsidiary but necessary portion of their work, or perhaps to a desire for economy, which preferred the cheapness of painted and artificially grained pine-wood, with decorative effects produced by wall papers, to the more solid but expensive though less showy wood-panelling, architectural mouldings, well-made panelled doors and chimney pieces, which one finds, down to quite the end of the last century, even in houses of moderate rentals. Furniture therefore became independent and "beginning to account herself an View the rest of this article

Parents, Kids And Time Alone

?What are some of the ways in which you explain to kids that mom and dad need time alone, without feeling guilty about it??
A journalist, writing an article on having time alone and couple time when you have kids, asked me this question.
Parents will feel guilty only when they believe that they are doing something wrong by spending time alone and couple time without their children.
This is a false belief.
The truth is that children grow up far healthier emotionally when their parents are happy and fulfilled, even if it means that their parents spend less time with them. When parents understand that they are being good parents by talking loving care of themselves and their relationship, their children will understand this.

Mergers And Acquisitions, What Are They?

Mergers and acquisitions happen just about every business day of the year. You may not hear about many of them, mainly because they are low key companies. But, having the inside scoop on the latest and greatest mergers and acquisitions can help you to keep your head above water as well. What are these and why are they so important anyway? If you are not sure what mergers and acquisitions are, let's talk for a moment about that.

Log Cabin Fever

Homesteaders settling in the territories of the American West traditionally built log cabins; durable, rainproof, and inexpensive. Today, eco-friendly and rustically charming, log cabins with their distinctive handcrafted appearance seem to be making a comeback, with luxurious features such as whirlpools, skylight windows and heated patios.
Swedish colonists built the first log cabins in North America at the beginning of the 18th century. The design of the log cabins was influenced by typical North European farm-houses until the introduction of the Homestead Act. According to which, new colonists had to build their homes of a specific size with at least one window. These old log cabins had just one room, a spacious porch, and an elevated area for sleeping.

A Place at Forest Lawn

A Place at Forest Lawn

A Review by Stan Dyer



A Place at Forest Lawn is the present offering at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. Forest Lawn is an upscale cemetery in Hollywood. The play’s central character is a female resident of a nursing home who gets her son to visit her by sending him the bill for her personal, $75,000 mausoleum. The son comes expecting to bury his mother, but finds her still alive, and attempts reconciliation. Deep, dark secrets kept for decades are revealed, but I don’t know what they are, or how the story ends; I left at intermission. I recommend skipping this play.

It’s a great cast with many credits, it’s a great set, and it’s an acclai View the rest of this article

No Excuses Exercises

It's old news that exercising is the single best way to spark up your weight loss efforts. The activity perks up your metabolism, and eats up more calories. In addition, the more you exercise, the better the effect. Exercising builds muscle mass, which is denser and more compact than fat. That means your body has to expend more effort to pump blood through it, and it requires more nutrients to keep it healthy. The end result? Even at rest, your body naturally burns more calories.
Unfortunately, the prospect of exercising tends to elicit groans from most people. There's all the logistics to work out - the time, equipment, expense and the sheer, utter boringness of it all. Negative thinking about exercise can sabotage all your good intentions. Here's a list of answ View the rest of this article

Childhood Obesity?The Modern Health Dilemma

You see it on the playgrounds, at roller rinks, at swimming pools, and in classrooms. Obesity is a modern health dilemma for today?s children, who are struggling with weight as never before.

While some children may outgrow obesity, others carry it with them into their adult lives. Obesity in children can result in feelings of fatigue, worthlessness, and hopelessness.

My Electric Car

Part I: The Beginning.


General Motors was supposed to begin marketing a fully electric car in 1992. It never happened. I wanted one of those cars. I knew about converting cars to run on electricity, and I researched that thinking I would build my own conversion. The conversion didn’t happen either. While searching the web for conversion plans, my interest went a different direction. As I discovered the variety of products available for making electricity, my focus turned from automobile conversion into electricity production.

I have to admit that my primary motivation was money. I didn’t have a lot to spare on unfamiliar technology such as electric conversions, but I did View the rest of this article

The Power Of Words

It is a known fact that a business could never be successful without the aid of advertising. In fact, it is considered as the lifeblood of almost all kinds of businesses. That's why sellers and entrepreneur wannabes on eBay understand the impact of an effective advertising technique on their items listing.
Basically, the sale of an item on eBay is dependent on the so-called eBay keyword program. This program asserts the fact that the probability of an item to be sold is based on the keyword used by the seller.
The eBay keyword program suggests that the maximum number of keywords to be used in an eBay ad is 100, the least is 50. This is because the essence of the description of the product or the ability of the ad to promote the item against a thousand similar View the rest of this article

While the term "niche marketing" refers to focusing on a particular segment of the marketplace (i.e., athletes for sporting equipment, etc.), finding your niche IN marketing addesses the more personal decisions marketers are faced with in their work.

For internet marketers these tools include opt-in email lists, banners, links, article placements, forums and joint ventures. Does this mean that a marketer should use all of these tools?

Chemically Improving Your Gas Mileage In Your Car

What if you could actually improve your gas mileage significantly (5-20%)? Not have to alter your driving habits? Not have to install any extra questionable parts on your car? What if it were as easy to do as 1-2-3?
Well, it is.
For years Big Oil has offered three or so different grades of gas octane 87 regular, 89-90 premium and 91-94 super.These grades are actually based upon a 100 octane scale where the cleanest burning, most ideal fuel was propane (clean burn fuel). But the scale never took into account arromatic petrol compounds and derivatives which can actually surpass the 100 octane mark, some as high as 115-130 octane.
So the object here is to get the engine running the cleanest burning fuel possible, leave less soot and deposits in the combustio View the rest of this article

Sure Fire Ways To Drive Customers Away!

Call it a blind spot. Call it regimented thinking. Call it the-way-we-have-always-done-it. But by any name, there are actions and practices that far too many businesses engage in that can unknowingly drive customers away.
When I observe such practices, I move from being angry to just plain sad. Really sad. Because the truth of the matter is that no one CONSCIOUSLY set out to ruin my day. No one sat in a board room and dreamt up procedures that would have us leaving in droves. No one woke up and said, "I can hardly wait to make you miserable." It happened "because". Because the truth of the matter is that it takes courage to stop and ask the critical question: Does this serve our customer? Our member? Our community?

Which Affiliate Programs Do I Personally Recommend?

I personally receive over a dozen checks and commission payments every month from various affiliate programs that I promote.
Last month, those checks totaled more than $10,000 and some months they have been as high as $25,000.
Given my success as an affiliate marketer, I'm often asked what affiliate programs I personally recommend.
The answer is easy because it's actually a pretty short list.
First, let me explain what an affiliate program is.
Affiliate programs are used by monster companies like Amazon, eBay, and many others to recruit resellers (affiliates) to help bring customers to their websites.

TAILS, YOU WIN

Like you, I've been toying lately with the idea of growing a tail. Nothing too elaborate mind you, just something long enough and furry enough that when I wag it, you can tell I'm happy. The truth is, I wish everybody had one. Think about it. Never again would you have to sit and wonder whether or not your husband really likes your family. If you saw his tail wagging, you'd know. Granted, this kind of evolutionary upgrade would require that most of us purchase an entirely new set of pants, but on the whole, I think it would be worth the adjustment. The one place where what I'm suggesting would help the most of course, is E-Newsletters. I say this because in our current, tail-free business world, there's no easy and obvious way to directly measure how much readers lik View the rest of this article

Credit Card Terms And Conditions - A Closer Look

It's sad but today most credit card companies are devious and they've designed everything possible into the fine print of their terms of service to catch you. Therefore, when looking at any credit card offer, make sure you take a close look at the fine print.
Believe me, I am fully aware that it's purposely put together to appear like a maze, but because it's so vitally important to your financial well-being and with the current trend towards "relatively" easier-to-read summary boxes you no longer have a legitimate excuse for ignoring the terms of service.
That being said, I've outlined a few of the key aspects to look for that are normally "hidden" away in the fine print of most credit card offers.

Phone Games of the 21st Century

I recently had reason to call my phone company in order to inquire about some charges that were showing up on my bill. I first reached an automated message that told me to press one for English, which I did, followed by a menu with several options. Of the available options, none involved speaking to an actual human being. This was the type of phone system where you could either press the number of the option you wanted or speak it into the receiver. After hearing all the available options and knowing that not a single solitary one of them would address my issue, I decided to take a gamble. I clearly said "customer service" into the phone and was then told that what I had said did not match any of the available options. I tried it again just in case it was a hidden op View the rest of this article

Taking Your Business International

Q: I?m interested in doing business internationally. I have done some reading on the subject, but there is an awful lot to digest. Have you had any experience in this matter and can you suggest the best way to get started?
-- P. Granger.
A: Great question, Mr. Granger, though not one I?m personally qualified to answer since I have not had direct experience with international sales. So like any good columnist without a clue I can either make up something and hope it sounds semi-intelligent or I can consult someone who really is an expert on international sales and let him answer your question. Since my agreement with The Times prevents me from fabricating anything other than my true age (I?m 29), let?s go with the latter.

The Search For The Holy Grail (Or Finding The Right Bra)

We've been hearing it for years. Seven out of ten of us are wearing the wrong size bra, ladies! And having a bra fit by a 'professional' may not help at all!
Too often, we rely on those silly little things called tape measures to 'tell' us what size we are and stick to it like gum on a shoe, when in reality, the fit will be different depending on the style, manufacturer and fabric. Charts and measurements are often no help, especially when it comes to larger sizes.
Women who have gone to have a sizing done by a professional bra fitter do not always get the best results, especially if the fitter is inexperienced or has received little training. Your best bet? Grab a handful-no pun intended- of bras in your general size and start trying them on!

They are not only beautiful, but also wear-friendly since, unlike sterling silver, they don?t tarnish.

NiCad, Lithium, and NiMH Batteries

Three main types of rechargeable batteries are used in newer technology hand held devices. Scientists are constantly trying to develop batteries with better technologies that make them faster, more powerful, and more lightweight. In the past, the only type of rechargeable battery available was a lead-acid battery, which contains liquid and must be kept ventilated in an upright position.
