By Dennis Siluk Just some thoughts on Paradise, which keep spinning in my head; in the old Testament, the garden of Eden was byto my understandingfour rivers. Some think it was in Iraq, and perhaps it was. Some folks think it was in Africa, but I doubt that. But if it was in old Sumer, or Iraq, where are the four rivers I ask myself (looking for the lost Paradise), the four rivers that are supposed to be in this paradise? The Euphrates and Tigris are two rivers I can account for; and perhaps the mythical, or legendary Gihon, and Pison, rivers. But wait, perchance, one of these rivers got mixed up in the old scriptures to mean the Nile? A question I asked myself. Some say the Tree of Life is in Bahrain, by the Persian Gulf, Gilgamesh was said to have went there, as did Noah. So now I get thinking Im pretty close to finding Paradise, and I must not get Paradise mixed up with Heaven, thats another issue onto its self. So now I get thinking, the garden must have sunk, like Atlantismaybe, I tell myself. Sunk right into the Persian Gulf; is this possible? Food for thought. So my mind is saying, in the time of Christ, a few thousand years after the flood and a few more before the flood when Adam and Eve were kicking dust. Now I ask myself, what does all this add up to? Eden could very well be where Paradise is, where it was when Christ descended after he died on the cross. Woops, did I say descended. Yes, yes, he told the guy next to him hed meet him in Paradise, not heaven. Im sure I got that right I tell myself. And we all know Heaven is up-yonder, thus he would have had to ascend, not descend. So here is Jesus, hes down in Paradise, and I read that Abraham could hear folks yelling and bellowing for a drink of water across the gulf. Now I get thinking again about Eden, which is called Paradise in the bible, and the Gulf where I cant find a river any longer on top of landthe forth river to be exact; and Jesus descending down to Paradise, where Abraham is. I think it is starting to add up for me. Now across the Gulf, is Hades, or perhaps the whole area is referred to as Hades, but one being Paradise, and the other side being Sheol (Sheol is mentioned in the Old Testament Bible 66-times, that my friends is the number of chapter-books in both books of the Bible). When Sheol is mentioned it is referred to as down; for example, Gen. 37:35 I will go down to In Ps 9:17, The wicked will return to and so forth. The Paradise lost lets say is under the Persian Gulf, under the waters of the Gulf, the lost river perhaps that I cant account for. Thus Christ arrives after his butchery by the Romans, for they did put the cross on his shoulders, and pierce him with a spear of course, the Jews provoked it nonetheless, and the Romans were easily lead you can see. Anyhow, he came to Paradise as the sacrificial lamb, the blood sacrifice, for the lamb was often the animal used for such ceremonies prior to Christs arrival. Now he announces he is the Messiah, and those who wish can go with him to Heaven, thus, leaving Eden or Paradise for those who need more time to think about it. Sounds too easily to be true; but it was just something swimming in my mind. For those none believers, it is a good Science Fiction Horror, for the Christian, it is most welcomed.

By Michael Colucci Ah, the Internet. Never has there been so much information available to the common man on all sorts of topics. The danger being of course that one can never really know if the information they are reading about is actual facts or complete fantasy. While this is not important maybe when searching for information on a rock band or trying to look up when a movie is playing locally, but when that information is medical or legal you need to be sure that what youre reading is in fact valid. Lets say for the sake of discussion you are in need of a bylaw legal form. What would you do? Unless you have a law degree you cant just simply sit down and type one out. But do you really want the expense of hiring an attorney to fill out a simple document like a bylaw form? The legal arena is a tangled web in itself. There are so many laws and regulations covering all aspects of society. But thanks to the Internet simple procedures which were once only in the realm of attorneys only can now be taken care of much easier and less expensive by you with little to no legal training at all. The easiest and best examples of this are simple legal forms which are now available all over the Internet. Where before these almost secret documents were closely held by lawyers, one can now surf the web and download and print legal forms printing them out and saving literally hundred to thousands of dollars. Take the bylaw form for example. This simple form can now be looked up and downloaded from many online legal advice sites and then filled out with all your personal information. Then simply print it out and take it to get notarized and you have a legal document which will be upheld in any court in the land. Before getting a simple bylaw form filled out and official by a lawyer could easily cost hundred if not thousands of dollars depending on intricacies and details. Now with a simple download you can fill out your bylaw form and be on your way. Bylaws are just one example of the legal forms available on the Internet but the reason bylaws is such a perfect example is that what you are doing yourself by downloading the form your self is exactly what a lawyer would do. He simply would tell his secretary or paralegal to fill out the form and then he would sign it handing it over. Of course you will pay for an hour or more of the lawyers time when all that happened was what you can do yourself. So the next time you need a bylaw form just find and fill it out yourself. Bylaw forms and more are all available right on the Internet. Your brand new legal advisor. Michael Colucci is a technical writer for Legal Forms Online - A site that offers a large selection of legal forms that can be downloaded.

By Karen Fusco Come January, when the euphoria of the holidays has faded and the days are short, a sense of melancholy is pervasive among northerners. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), commonly referred to as the “winter blues,” is marked by feelings of lethargy, depression, lack of appetite and lack of desire to have sex. It may surprise you to learn that sunlight deprivation can cause all of these symptoms and more. Though not often taken seriously, perhaps because it is perceived as temporary, seasonal depression can be debilitating. In some cases, it may even lead to chronic depression that does not go away with the onset of summer. In a recent report from the Canadian Journal of Diagnosis (Canadian Consensus Guidelines for the Treatment of SAD; source: PsychDirect.com; 2006), studies show women are four times as likely as men to experience SAD. The study also showed that most people experience SAD during winter months over a 60-90 day period, and for at least two years in a row. Sunlight is not just an aspect of the world we live in, or food for plants and trees. Sunlight is an essential ingredient in human health. Sunlight fuels serotonin production, a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate your mood. Inadequate serotonin production is a primary cause of chronic depression, and many of the anti-depressant drugs on the market are designed to increase serotonin levels. Adequate exposure to sunlight is also required in order to produce Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is linked to many diseases and disorders, including osteoporosis, diabetes, and even cancer. The single best source of Vitamin D is sunlight; more than milk and other foods rich in Vitamin D. Studies show that Vitamin D supplements can help reduce symptoms of SAD. While lack of sunlight is the main cause, other related factors contribute to seasonal depression. For example, with limited daylight and cold temperatures, people exercise less. Studies show that exercise releases endorphins, which give you a sense of well being. More importantly, regular exercise increases your serotonin and dopamine levels, which helps you to feel a sense of happiness and calm throughout the day. The treatment of choice for SAD is light box therapy, specifically a fluorescent light box. With daily usage, patients usually feel noticeably better within one week. There are many different types of light boxes, and there are very specific guidelines to follow; position of the light box and duration of exposure are among the variables. It’s always best to seek medical guidance rather than self-diagnosing and purchasing your light box online. People who suffer from depression or other mood disorders in other months of the year may need medication to treat SAD, or a combination of medication and light therapy. Light therapy boxes can be expensive, but some insurance companies will cover most or all of the expense if prescribed by a physician. Of course, one of the best ways to treat a mild case of the “winter blues” is to get out in the sun. Make a practice of taking a thirty-minute walk in the sun each day, especially during mid-day when the sun is at its brightest. You will get the benefits of sunlight exposure, fresh air, and exercise, at the same time. Go for a walk during your lunch break, or take the dog for a longer walk after work. Whatever you choose to do outside, just get out. It can make a world of difference in your mood.

By Paul E Pavilion Fresh flowers are a great way to bring warmth and happiness and to any dull decorating space. The problem is they never seem to last. If you find that your flowers are expiring quickly, it could be sign of poor flower care routines. There are a variety of different ways to prolong the life of your fresh cut flowers. Flower shops can be a good source for information to get the most from a specific type of flower. For some more general tips for flower care read on. Bacteria are the main cause of deterioration of flowers. Make sure that your water and vase are clean before use. Always replace your water after 2-3 days and ensure that any leaves below the water line are trimmed off. Use the floral food provided by your florist as it is formulated to kill harmful bacteria and bugs. Using a reputable florist is also important as a good florist understands the importance of water and fertilizer to different types of flowers. When your flowers arrive, they should arrive wrapped with flower buds half open or closed. This ensures that you will see the flower for the longest amount of time. Getting them into lukewarm water with plant food provided right away will help the flowers open faster. Displaying flowers in bright or overheated areas should be avoided as it promotes bacteria growth and water loss. To avoid additional water loss use a vase that is proportionate to the bouquet size. Remember these tips the next time you get flowers and you should find that your flowers should last longer, remain healthier and provide you with more enjoyment. Paul E.

By Shannon Scarlett The tempered light of the woods is like a perpetual morning, and is stimulating and heroic. The anciently reported spells of these places creep on us. The stems of pines, hemlocks, and oaks, almost gleam like iron on the excited eye. The incommunicable trees begin to persuade us to live with them, and quit our life of solemn trifles. Here no history, or church, or state, is interpolated on the divine sky and the immortal year These enchantments are medicinal, they sober and heal us We go out daily and nightly to feed the eyes on the horizon, and require so much scope, just as we need water for our bath. There are all degrees of natural influence, from these quarantine powers of nature, up to her dearest and gravest ministrations to the imagination and the soul. There is the bucket of cold water from the spring, the wood-fire to which the chilled traveler rushes for safety, and there is the sublime moral of autumn and of noon. We nestle in nature, and draw our living as parasites from her roots and grains, and we receive glances from the heavenly bodies, which call us to solitude, and foretell the remotest future. In a few short paragraphs, Ralph Waldo Emerson manages to describe the many layered role nature plays in human existence both physically and spiritually. It is through these multiple levels of experience that the landscape is lifted from the commonplace to the extraordinary. When creating meaningful places, the gardener must, at once, try to make sense of the physical characteristics of the region and the soils, cultural and social patterns, the ideal of the archetypal setting, the symbolism and poetics of space, light and form, the transformational and temporal qualities of the building materials with which he must work, and the sense perceptions and every day experiences of the individual. A meaningful setting for the home grows both from a particular placecreated from elements in the regional contextand from the mind and artistic desires of the owner. From the macrocosm to the microcosm, the land on which we build is a place that needs to be respected. At the macro level is the global environmentthe earth as a living, eco-system where cumulatively even the smallest actions we take have an ultimate global effect. At the level of the microcosm, each plot of land, each tree, each stone represents the larger construct of which it is a part. The nature of the site must be studied and organizedinto plots and subplots, into centers and dualities, boundaries and pathsbefore building can take place. The first step in understanding and working with a building site is the recognition that there are three types of assemblies possible on any lot; built formhouse, garage, shed; man-made gardens; and the unstructured landscape. How these three relate, sets the tone for a meaningful context. Connecting our home with the earth environment at one scale, and the garden at another, and adding in all the other layers of meaning from the symbolic to the sensual, can at times, appear to be an overwhelming task. If, however, we are able to filter and simplify the various influences into a clear and concise theme, the pieces fall into placeeach decision purposely reinforcing or contrasting with the overall concept.

By David Silva Here’s an estimate that might shock you: as many as 80% of pregnant women experience morning sickness or some form of nausea during their pregnancy. Fortunately, the morning sickness doesn’t last throughout the entire pregnancy. It tends to peak around the 9th week and disappear around the 20th week. Unfortunately, nearly three months of battling nausea can be tough on anyone. Because of concerns for the baby, more and more women are turning to natural remedies for their morning sickness. However, even natural remedies require caution. For instance, the three most common natural remedies for morning sickness are ginger tea, acupressure wristbands, and peppermint oil. Yet these remedies can cause mild adverse reactions such as skin irritation due to the wristbands or the intolerable taste of the ginger. You do have other choices, however. Here’s a short list of steps you can take immediately to help relieve your morning sickness - Eat frequent, smaller meals so you never feel too hungry or too full. - Avoid fried or fatty foods. - Eat crackers, bread, toast, cereal and other bland foods throughout the day. Eat something from this list before you get out of bed in the morning. - Drink plenty of fluids, especially between meals. - Keep a record of your activities and the foods you eat in order to identify what tends to trigger your nausea. If these steps aren’t helpful, then you might want to consider trying one of natural remedies listed above. Let’s take a closer look at these … Acupuncture A very small percentage of pregnant women experience hyperemesis gravidarium, which is a severe form of morning sickness that can result in weight loss, dehydration, and potentially hospitalization. Several studies have demonstrated that regular, several-times-a-day acupuncture sessions can be helpful in minimizing this form of nausea and vomiting. In addition, acupuncture wrist bands (also known as sea bands) that stimulate the pericardium (p6) acupuncture point can be effective. The wrist band consists of a plastic button that applies pressure on the p6 point inside the wrist. This is a form of traditional Chinese medicine used to relieve nausea, and it generally works immediately. You can find an acupuncture wrist band online or at your local health food store. They’re generally reasonably priced. Ginger Ginger is a popular natural remedy for morning sickness. It’s been used for this purpose for centuries, and after numerous medical trials, is generally recognized as safe. However, ginger does contain substances that can potentially cause birth defects. For this reason, taking higher doses (over 500 mg) during pregnancy is generally unadvisable. In addition, there are concerns that ginger can prolong bleeding time and interfere with platelet aggregation, though studies focused on the first trimester found no notable difference in the number or miscarriages, stillbirths and malformations. Ginger is commonly taken in hot water as a tea. It can also be consumed as ginger soda, gingersnaps or in capsule form. Peppermint Essential Oil Nausea can be minimized by using the aroma of peppermint. It’s relatively easy to create your own peppermint aroma bowl. Fill a large bowl with hot water, add two drops of peppermint essential oil, and you’re all set. Keep the bowl on a nightstand near where you sleep and see if it doesn’t help. As with any medical treatment or natural remedy, always consult with your physician first. Some natural remedies can work against medications, others can have hidden side effects that your physician can caution you about.

By Alastair Harris Researching your family history can be a very personally fulfilling adventure. It can throw up surprizes and let skeletons out of the family tree. In your family history you might have royalty, knights, pirates, convicts, executed persons, rich people, poor people. Researching you family tree can take you all over the world. Broaden your perspective, learn more about who you are. It also might teach you respect for the sacrifices of others to help you to where you are today, or at least broaden your perspective due to the fact you are likely to come across a variety of people who in a small part make you - you. Further it can help you appreciate that all humans are just distant relatives. Consider this is you go back 20 generations (assuming of course there are merging branches which there will be) you quickly get to one million ancestors - thats alot of people. In other words take any person/stranger sitting next to you at random and you will probably be linked somewhere in the past - there just weren’t that many people living over 1000 years ago compared to our now current 6 billion world family. The point is this - with this in mind it becomes clear that as human beings we are just one big family. How do you research your own family history? You can start by asking your oldest relations to start mapping your family tree. Then go to government records, births, deaths and marriages, etc to fill in more details and go back further. Your local library can be a surprizing help as well. But by far the greatest source for researching genealogy is the internet. Believe it or not genealogy is one of the biggest topics on the internet and you might be luckly and find someone has already done much of the work for you. Cindy’s list and others are a gold mine.

By Dave Fooder Although most people identify Italian food with some of the nations most famous dishes like pizzas, spaghetti and lasagna, in reality, Italian food encompasses a wide variety of traditional and modern cuisines. One of the main benefits that Italian food has over that from other parts of the world is its healthy constitution. Prepared from a variety of healthy ingredients like legumes, vegetables, grains, nuts and fruits, Italian food preparations are some of the best for your health and vigor. Along with reducing risks of heart diseases and cancer, Italian food preparations are some of the best you can have for the overall maintenance of good health. Among others, lasagna and spaghetti are some of the tastiest and best known Italian preparations. Prepared with pasta, cheese and meat-sauce layers, lasagna is one of the most famous Italian dishes today consumed all over the world. Lasagna is usually prepared with pasta or noodles, either freshly prepared or prepared and softened from a day before. The meat sauce is usually prepared with ingredients such as ground beef, tomatoes, pork sausages and a combination of pasta sauces. In addition molten cheese is also added. Other ingredients usually required in the preparation of lasagna are onion, garlic, salt, pepper, eggs, mozzarella cheese, red pepper and marinara sauce with wine. One of the chief characteristics of lasagna is that it is a layered dish. In a baking pan a layer of sauce is first laid, over which layers of pasta or noodles, mozzarella cheese and then another layer of sauce is placed. Some shredded cheese is also added at top. The whole preparation is then covered and baked until the cheese melts. The preparation is then allowed to stand for 10-15 minutes before it is served. Chilling the noodles overnight before preparing the lasagna allows the flavors to soak in better and thereby, improves the overall taste. Dave Fooder runs a premiere exchange recipes network online.
