Music ain’t just for listening. Here I reveal the utilitarian take on music and sketch out some preliminary suggestions.
Books are for reading and music is for listening. But they can be so much more. Other ways of using music will occupy me shortly, a utilitarian pitch (if you will). First, an illustrative analogy. Periodically, I am compelled to buy a few very large books in hardcover. Those times when I am so compelled correlate highly with periods during which I find myself on trains and planes for long stretches. (more…)

Often people ask me, “How can I get my family to eat soy?”
Often people ask me, “How can I get my family to eat soy?” or “How do I prepare soy, how do I serve it?” When learning my background, some often remark, “Well, you’ve been a vegetarian for fifteen years. It’s easy for you to eat soy. My family, eat meat and hardly any vegetables at all. What will I look like trying to make them some tofu?”

Do you use department store cosmetics? You might want to rethink this after reading this article.
Low self-esteem, unrealistic expectations and self-loathing are all products of the ideal beauty image projected in America. These images have damaged women to the point where they willingly subject themselves to painful treatments, plastic surgery and expensive skincare products and cosmetics.

Is everyone entitled to healthcare? Ideally yes, but according to the media, hospitals, insurance companies and our laws, the answer is no.
That comes as a shock for those of us who grew up thinking that medical society doctors is noble and humane. Maybe it is, but what is noble and humane about shutting people out of life saving treatment simply because they have little or no insurance? In the movies and in story books, they were the good guys, they were the heroes, they didn’t let the lack of money stand in the way of helping those who were sick. Hospitals and their staff were nurturing, their business was making people healthy, saving lives. Now, they are in the business of making money. Ask anyone who has become sick or who has had a loved one has become sick with little or no insurance and you will find out quickly how disposable people are. Oh, there was a time when you could get a little help and understanding. At one time you could depend on your physician to be genuinely concerned about your health. (more…)

Do supplements help improve our health? Can they cure or prevent diseases, like cancer? Most experts will agree, they CAN help! Along with diet, exercise and attitude, supplements have their place in health and healing. Which ones are the right ones to take then? Some of the ones agreed upon by many health care providers are as follows
* Coenzyme Q10–90 mg. daily is generally agreed upon. CoQ10, as it is commonly known, improves cellular oxygenation. Cancer patients usually have low oxygen levels.
* Selenium–200 mcg. daily. A powerful free radical scavenger, it also aids in digestion. One study found that those who took 200-mcg cut their rate of overall cancer by 39 percent and their rates of lung, prostate, and colon cancers nearly in half. (more…)

How cycling your workouts helps you develop a routine, adds variety, and gives you a roadmap to follow on your quest to fitness.
The most effective cycle duration is either 12-months or 6-months. One reason is simply because you can break the year into 2 equal cycles; it’s easy to track. The other reason is that you need to allow your body to get everything it can out of each phase of the cycle. You’ll be losing some benefit with anything less than a 2-month phase.
The relative beginner to strength training should adopt the 12-month cycle. As a beginner, you’ll make good gains for the first year without having to follow a “complex” training plan. Since your body has never really experienced a consistent strength program, you’ll more than likely easily achieve good gains. Enjoy the feeling and try to learn about your body.

A woman of a certain age receives offers she wants to refuse.
Hot Sensuous Teens Want Me?
I’m puzzled. I live a relatively decorous life. I tend to behave in public, although I do apologize to lamp posts and low tree branches when I bump into them. Carelessness is part of my blundering about in the world. (more…)
