Samsung SCX 4500 Printer - A Good All-Round MFP

By Ben Pate

Even though we have seen great reductions in the footprint of most electronic devices in recent times, PC, mobile phones and televisions included. We have been yet to see printers designed with this in mind. Most of them still tend to be bulky lumps of plastic which appear to have been assembled cheaply. At least this has been the case until the Samsung SCX 4500 printer, which uses Samsung SCX 4500 Toner , was produced.

Inkjets have certainly not done very well and at really cheap prices of below the $100 mark it hardly seems worth replacing ink cartridges when they run out. Laser printers on the other hand have done better. Samsung seem to have a much more responsible outlook when it comes to designing their equipment. They offer products that are reasonably priced as well as good designs.

The Samsung SCX 4500 multifunction printer is a case in point, and really fits the profile of the "coolness factor". It is a slimmed down, full feature, full functionality but powerful marvel of electronics design. It is a slim 13 x 15.5, x 6.5" with a stylish exterior. It is simple to operate and incredibly quiet. In fact you are barely able to hear it when it is printing.

Touch sensitive controls feature on the control panel, and although the settings are limited, you have to take the good with the bad. SmartThru software is used for some of the printer functions and for scanning and this can be installed on Windows XP in as little as 5 minutes. You need to have your own USB cable as the printer does not come complete with this. Make sure you have purchased one, or that you have one available from an old printer. One you have set your MFP up, it requires very little warm up time and a printed page can be copied in about 10 seconds.

Although the paper cassette is hidden in the bottom of the printer it has a limited capacity, but if you want a printer with a small footprint, what more can you expect. Print quality is reasonable, but considering the $300 or so price tag of this laser printer, this is to be expected.

Although greyscale printing is good and the scan quality is excellent at 600 x 2400 dpi. It is also a very simple task to replace printer toner plugs, just remove and replace.

Samsung's SCX-4500 is a more than adequate printer for home use, but it is not recommend it as a networked printer for office work, it does not have a built in Ethernet. Although if everyone in the office has their own printer, it is also fine. Users are also not able to print from a USB drive and it does not have a card reader. It is also not terribly fast at 16 pages per minute out-put, which places it behind some of the competition. However these slight flaws are easily overlooked as this MFP is so stylish, and sometimes style demands certain trade-offs. - 20762

By Edie Mindell

The art of giving baby shower gifts is all about creativity and individuality this year. Although there are many gifts that are suitable for both baby boys and girls, there are some items that make particularly great presents specifically for each gender. This article will offer some clever ideas that are perfect for any new baby boy shower.

A classic favorite that has become increasingly popular this year for baby showers is the baby shower cake. Diaper cakes are appealing to the eye and extremely useful for any mommy-to-be. These beautiful creations resemble a real, multi-layered cake and hold different types of essential items for your baby. The cake is constructed of good quality diapers, such as the Pampers brand, beautifully tied together with ribbon and adorned with necessary baby items like bibs, rattles, and baby bottles.

Now, there are many businesses that are exclusively dedicated to making and selling different types of diaper cakes. Baby shower cakes for baby boys are as cute as can be, and are usually themed after a "boyish" theme like sports, tools, or animals. Classic diaper cakes for baby boys are white and baby blue, with patterns like polka dots, stripes, plaid, or gingham. A baby boy-themed diaper cake makes a great-looking present, ranks among the most popular gifts for this year, and is among the most useful of all gifts.

A humorous but remarkably smart new creation that any mother of a baby boy will appreciate and use on a daily basis is the new "Pee-Pee TeePee." The name of this great, new creation probably gives you a pretty good idea of what it can possibly be. When parents of baby boys change their little diapers, they can be exposed to an unexpected spring of the little one's "pee-pee." The Pee-Pee TeePee is a cute, small teepee-shaped, 100% cotton cone that can be placed on your baby boy's wee-wee during diaper changes to avoid a pee-pee surprise! Pee-Pee TeePees come in different colors and with a decorative pattern such as little airplanes in the sky.

Whether it be a college sports team or a major league team, a clothing item representing the parents' favorite sports team is bound to make smiles happen. Football or basketball jerseys, a T-shirt with the team's logo, a baseball cap, or a track suit are all fabulous ideas for baby sportswear.

Little wagon gift sets are an alternative to traditional gift baskets and have a boyish twist to the common baby shower gift. These are usually little red wagons filled with learning toys, stuffed animals, and baby essentials for your little one. Little wagon gift sets stand out from ordinary gift baskets with their extraordinary look and fun appearance.

These are some of the most popular baby boy gifts that are both fun and practical and are sure to please any new Mom, Dad and Baby. - 20762

Take Blues Guitar Lessons Online

By Floyd A. Trentino

What You Will Learn - One of the foundations of music today comes from the blues. Rock adopted its style and feel from the blues along with almost every other form including pop! Many people starting out with music are looking for a good and easy blues guitar lesson.

Blues guitar is cool to learn when starting out because with some basic chords and scales the new guitar can start making music that sounds great in a very short time. Learning things like a basic scale, chords and some riffs will keep them interested in learning more.

When I first sit down with a new student I like to teach them the pentatonic scale on the guitar. Its easy because its a 5 note pattern. Students seem to remember this pattern easily plus this is the building block of things to come in additional guitar lessons.

The cool thing about teaching a student the pentatonic is that they can start soloing and improvising very quickly. The reason for this is because of the 5 notes it contains none of them are conflicting (bad notes) so this lets the new student noodle around much more.

Power chords are typically the next lesson for blues guitar. This works well because power chords are built from the root note and the 5th note above that. So its a 2 note chord and easy for the student learn and apply.

Power chords are fun and easy to play and the cool thing is that these are called movable chords. Movable chords can be moved all over the fretboard without changing the chord shape. So this makes teaching the 12 Bar Blues Progression very easy.

Learning how to play a 12 Bar Blues progression is easy after you got your power chords down. Its a simple progression that follows a certain order and can be played in every key. Its a very common progression and your students will know millions of songs built from it.

To boost my students interest I usually play a 12 Bar Blues and have them improvise a simple solo over it. Whats cool about this is that I get to take break LOL no but whats cool is the student finally gets the feeling composing their own music.

Sometimes a student will not have the gear to record with so what I normally do is just play the 12 Bar Blues for them while they solo and work on melodies and riffs.

You owe yourself the gift of music and if you are serious about learning the guitar you can do it right online. It has never been more affordable to learn a new instrument then today. Take 2 weeks and apply the lesson and your piers wont believe what they hear when you plug in. - 20762

Paintball - The Basics

By Bobbie McKee

Do you want to experience thrilling, fun, and fast actions? Well, if you do, then paintball is the sport for you. It doesn't really matter how tall or how heavy you are because with this sport, you're free to take part in the action. Everyone can join this sport - children, parents, young adults, and even your grandparents.

To be able to play paintball, you must know paintball's basic rules. You must know how the game is played. To start with, you will be playing in the open fields but this sport can also be played inside arenas. Two teams will compete with one another and every player will have their own air gun. Are you familiar with the 'capture the flag' game? This game is usually played by children but the rules being employed are similar.

Colored armbands will be used to distinguish the two teams. Each player will wear the colored armband so that they can easily identify teammates and their opponents. The main goal of the sport is to capture the opponent's flag. Once the flag is captured, it should be brought back to the camp. Touch the opponent's flag to the team's flag and you must be able to do this for a specified time.

Players are eliminated once a paintball hits a certain player and it's the referee's decision whether a player is eliminated or not. The referee's decision is final and so if you're hit with a paintball and it spat, you will be immediately eliminated.

Now that you know the basic rules of paintball, you must familiarize yourself with the various equipments used. Here are the equipments:

1. Paintball - this is a semi hard rubberized shell which can easily break once an object is hit. It contains paint and it's marble-sized.

2. Paintball gun - the paintball can be only be launched through a paintball gun. Compressed air powers the gun and it s usually made from aluminum alloy. The gun has a container for the loaded paintballs.

3. Eye equipment - this equipment protects the eyes of the players. It has a rubber strap and acrylic plastic lens that should be placed firmly over the eyes.

4. Mask - this is basically helmet which protects the ears and face of the player.

5. Belt pack - just as the word suggests, this is a belt that allows players to carry additional accessories.

6. Sight - oftentimes players do point shooting but if you want to aim your targets better, you can use the 'sight'; this is an additional device for paintball guns.

Paintball is not a very simple game because you need to have common sense. You can't just run wild and shoot every player you see. If you want to play smart, you must never remove your helmet. You must know the paintball gun's limitations. If you don't want to be spotted easily by our opponents, you must wear dark colored clothes and not light ones because light colored clothes attract attention.

Buy hiking or running shoes so that you're more comfortable when running around the field or arena. Playing honestly is also a good trait and you must follow your team captain's orders. Focus on the game and don't fool around because you might get hit.

Now that you know the basic rules, equipments, and some pointers on how to play paintball, you can enjoy playing this sport together with your family or your friends. - 20762

New Times With Old Town Kayaks

By Toby Johns

People have been forging their way across the waters as a means of travel for literally thousands of years. Old Town Kayaks has been fashioning their means to do so with kayaks since 1940. Inspired by the design of canoes fashioned by Native Americans, Old Towne began creating kayaks using sealskin design, wood and canvas to develop their kayaks.

Beginning in the 1950s, the manufacturing moved onward to the use of lightweight fiberglass. Now, in the new century the kayaks are produced with durable PolyLink3 and SuperLink3. With all these different styles, how do you determine what is best for you?

Kayaks are different than canoes, as they allow you to easily maneuver yourself in the water with double bladed paddles. You can travel faster and closer to the water for better stability. When you are thinking of your purchase, have in mind what you are to use the kayak for. The size, weight, cockpit, capacity and materials will all be important to your final decision as well.

If you're solely interested in recreational kayak use, there are a plethora of models that provide user-friendliness and are ready to plunk down into the water. Also, day-touring kayaks have great tracking ability; they're stable and highly efficient. Kayaks with open cockpits are built for quick and easy entry and exit. Families and sportsmen will enjoy the day tour models.

When there are two of you ready to travel the waters, you may wish to think of purchasing a tandem model. These are great for all bodies of water. Fishing models are lightweight and stable with features that work great with those who want to fish and kayak at the same time. Each model has the same anatomy. They all have shock cord deck riggings, deck hatches, cockpits and carrying handles.

Constructed in Maine, Old Town kayaks are manufactured by a company that fully cares about producing kayaks that fit everyone's taste and style. While shorter kayaks tend to be lighter and have greater maneuverability, longer kayaks provide a pleasurable experience in cruising and travel in open water. Longer kayaks are also preferred over shorter kayaks for overnighters and day trips. Wider boats are ideal for photographers and fishermen becuase they provide a more stable experience. Narrow boats are preferable for those planning on farther excursions. When considering the purchase of Old Town kayaks for sale, also be sure to check out the bottom layer of the boat, which is also an important component to consider.

Flat bottom kayaks will make your journey more comfortable through calm waters. Shallow arch bottoms work best in choppy waters. When you need to improve tracking over water, the V-bottom kayaks may be the ideal choice for you. In addition, kayaks vary with the sides that are built. When the sides of a kayak is curved inward, this is called a tumblehome design, which is typically that of a narrow kayak. Flared sides allow the kayak to function best while sitting deeper in the water. Old Town kayaks are produced from a variety of materials including 100% recycled plastic, polyethylene and a variable layer boat.

Among the models made by Old Town, Maine include the Digio 106 Angler. Lying low in the water, this kayaks allows fishermen to navigate silently through the water. This model includes rod holders. Another angler model is known as the Vapor 12xt with day well, and even includes storage for your GPS and iPods. You can travel just about anywhere in this kayak! The Adventure and Cayuga series are great kayak models for those looking for day tours. These models are set up with features that make them terrific choices for overnight excursions.

Already round for decades, Old Town kayaks plan on building quality boats well into the new century. The company prides itself on their understanding of craftsmanship exhibited so well by the native American people. Old Town will certainly succeed in competing against the competition with high-quality and easily affordable kayaks providing fun for young and old. - 20762

How to Cook a Crock Pot Roast

By Jackie Lee

A roast may seem like an impossible mid week meal, but if you pull out your crock pot you will find it is not only possible, but easy. It doesn't matter if you have a pork, beef or even venison roast in your freezer it can easily become Wednesday nights dinner in no time at all.

You can make a well balanced meal out of roast with veggies you probably already have sitting in the kitchen. Potatoes, carrots, onions and green beans go great with roast. Make sure you cut your potatoes in equal size pieces, so they will cook evenly. You can add some potatoes to the bottom of the crock pot, since they take the longest to cook. You can even make up a packet of gravy and add it to the potatoes at the bottom. Add your carrots around the edges of your roast. Top your roast with the onions to keep them from turning to mush. If you want to add a splash of color add your green beans about 30 minutes before your cooking time is up. This will keep them from getting mushy.

You can season your roast with a variety of things. You can use a packet of onion soup mix. You can use cream of mushroom soup. You can also go ethnic choosing spices that correspond to maybe Italian or even Spanish flavors.

No matter what spices you choose to season your roast you can add dry seasoning in at the beginning of cooking time. It will work just fine. If you are going the fresh route for your seasoning and are using fresh herbs I suggest you wait until the last hour of cooking to add them. Fresh herbs quickly flavor the roast and are best left to the end.

What is your cooking time going to be? It depends on a few factors. Your personal crock pot and its cooking temperature. The size of your roast. Whether it is frozen or thawed. No matter what any of these variables are you can bet on at least 6 hours to cook your roast. It may take as much as 9 if it is a large frozen roast. The more you cook roasts in your crock pot the better you will know how long it's going to need to cook.

This long cooking time for a roast makes it perfect to make during the week. You can easily add your meat and vegetables before your go to work. You can even throw in a frozen roast. This will take a little longer because it has to first use the heat to defrost the meat, but it works out perfectly when you are going to be gone the whole day. I find a 2 to 3 pound roast added frozen comes out perfectly after about 8 or 9 hours. If you have a programmable crock pot, even better. You can set it to switch to warm mode after the meat reaches the appropriate temperature.

Cooking roast in the crock pot has so many advantages. You can use cheaper cuts of meat and they will still be tender and delicious. It gives you a chance to have a family dinner. You know exactly what went into your food which is always better for your health. Roast used to be a Sunday food, but with your crock pot it can now be an easy Wednesday dinner. - 20762

Acne and dry skin

By Artibella Hozik

Co-authored by: Lactic Acid Peel. Many people believe that acne affects people with oily skin alone. Well, things are actually different!

Acne does not choose victims on such criteria; yet in certain cases, people with oily skin are more affected by this dermatological condition. Bacteria, hormonal changes, an unhealthy diet and a chaotic lifestyle represent the right premises for a dry acne skin outburst. Before starting any targeted treatment, it is important to identify the causes behind the acne problem. Yet, a double treatment is necessary most of the time: one for the skin dryness and another to eliminate acne.

Good moisturizing is the key to treating dry acne skin, because you thus protect the natural skin barrier against all sorts of factors. The lotions and creams you use ought to contain some very soothing agents like aloe vera for instance that is good both for acne and for skin dryness.

In case you do not have a single product to use for both problems, don't ignore the huge therapeutic protection of home remedies. Callendula for instance is a herb with good antibacterial and regenerative properties that will accelerate the healing of the acne lesions while also dealing with the excessive dryness.

Depending on the condition of the dry acne skin, the doctor may also prescribe the use of oral medication besides the topical remedies. Depending on the ointment, you could extend the topical use to larger skin portions besides the face for instance.

If there is acne spread to other body areas, clothing and hygiene rules are just as important as proper tissue hydration. Clothing could be a great relief or the source of even more pain if you don't choose it carefully; therefore, cotton should be preferred over any other synthetic fabric.

During summer people with dry acne skin face all sorts of challenges. A better air humidity works in favor of the skin dryness on the one hand, and on the other, the heat makes a favorable condition for acne to outburst. Try to remain consistent and persistent in the treatment of dry acne skin regardless of season. Use cleansers that are alcohol free and find products that clean and disinfect without drying the tissues. - 20762

Pizza -How Normal Are Your Choices?

By Claudia Venanzetti

If you are like me you can stare at your pizza coupons stuck to your refrigerator door for seemingly hours, not being able to choose the pizza you want? That would be especially true if you are very hungry and you want one of each, or if you have children.

Yes, it does become more of an uphill battle the more people are involved with choosing between the many yummy toppings. Maybe it is best not to even mention the word pizza?

In your house you probably have some definite favorites as far as toppings go. Did you ever wonder how average, or shall we say normal your family is when it comes to pizza toppings? What are the favorite pizza toppings ion the US? Well, the gold metal comes as no surprise...

It is the old faithful, the Pepperoni. With all the choices available for toppings an astounding 25% of pizzas sold in the US are Pepperoni and Cheese pizzas. Sausage comes in as second, and on third place is, and you probably guessed it, mushrooms. (And did you know that 70% of pizza makers use canned mushrooms not fresh ones.)

Next on the list are veggies. Onion is a real favorite coming in as number four on our list. Then we have olives. Black olives are much more popular than their green cousins. Twice as many folks choose black olives than green ones.

After these top five pizza toppings, it's pretty much a tie for the bottom half of the top ten. Ham, bacon, peppers, hamburger, and tomatoes round out the list. Just for fun, make a note of this list, and the next time you whip out your pizza coupons to order for the whole family, see how your family's topping choices fit in. - 20762

Are you taking chemotherapy drugs?

By Dr. Bill Ackart

I would like to thank you for visiting and reading this article. The topic has been carefully researched and documented for your benefit.

The pharmaceutical industry has come up with lots of chemotherapy drugs classified according to the chemical structure, the working principle and the possible associations with other medication. The origin of most drugs is in herbal extracts that are afterwards processed and combined in laboratories. Don't be surprised to find a drug classified in more categories, because there are many such cases in the medical world. Medical science and professional competence in the health care realm involves a good knowledge of chemotherapy drugs and their specificity.

A first category of chemotherapy drugs is the one relying on alkylating agents. These drugs are pretty damaging to the bone marrow because they damage the DNA to prevent the cancerous cells from reproduction. This type of chemotherapy drugs is used in a wide variety of cancers and it is recommended only in small dosage to reduce the risk of leukemia that may appear 5 or 10 years after following the recommended chemotherapy treatment. The platinum based drugs are sometimes included in the same category because they act in a very similar manner against the disease.

Antimetabolites are another distinct class of chemotherapy drugs. They are prescribed for the treatment of ovary and intestinal cancers, breast tumors and leukemia and their impact is not limited to the DNA but also extends to the RNA too.

The anthracyclines are another type of chemotherapy drugs being part of the antibiotic group. They work against enzymes that help in DNA replication and they are encountered in a wide variety of cancer treatments.

The category of inhibitors comes next. The topoisomerase inhibitors separate and copy the DNA strands efficiently treating leukemia. With a more natural preponderance because of their herbal origin, mitotic inhibitors prevent the production of proteins necessary for the cancer cells growth. Even so, there is one huge risk that patients take when following such a treatment: these chemotherapy drugs could cause peripheral nerve damage to count only one of the health threats you may fear.

Finally, the corticosteroids represent chemotherapy drugs derived from hormones and meant to treat lymphoma, leukemia and myeloma together with other diseases. In addition to reducing the cancer cellular growth, they also have a positive impact on the way the body reacts to chemotherapy by reducing the possibility of developing allergic reactions or digestive side effects such as vomiting and nausea. Such medication doesn't have to serve for cancer chemotherapy purposes exclusively, as there are other diseases that can be fought with it.

In conclusion, I hope the ideas, issues and information I have brought forward help you in the future. - 20762

Dealing with your Dogs Separation Anxiety

By Craig Clemins

Many people who have pets are quite often away from home during the day due to appointments and work. In these situations, our pets tend to get the idea that when we leave we may not come back, and some will suffer from a condition called separation anxiety. This problem is very common among many pets but particularly so among dogs.

For thousands of years dogs have lived in packs, it's become one of their embedded natures. Dogs that live with humans treat humans as part of their pack. This can have positive outcomes when you are seen by your dog as the leader of your pack, and negative side effects when your dog believe he is leader and tries to assert themselves as the Alpha Dog.

Like us, they will worry that they have the love and the respect of those around them. They will wonder if when you leave you will return to them. During times like these your dog will become frantic and will be come angry and extremely destructive.

Separation anxiety can come about for a number of different reasons. Perhaps you have recently changed your schedule, or a family member has passed away. It can also happen when you shift houses. Dogs that have at some stage lived in shelters or on the streets are most likely to suffer from separation anxiety. These types of dogs have lived tough which has made them quite highly strung, and at times this can make them unpredictable and even dangerous.

The dog that is having this type of anxiety will destroy your home, chew on your furniture and use the toilet all over your house, in addition to barking and biting episodes. All of these behaviors become progressively worse if the situation is not treated immediately.

There are many forms of treatment available for a dog with separation anxiety. The most important thing being that you take the time and use patience to help your dog with the feelings of panic they get when you leave them alone. Also you must remember if you should punish your dog for the destruction that happened while you were gone will only make the situation worse because now he believes that you don't love him and are angry and will be convinced that the next time you leave you really won't be back for him.

Patience and consistency are a couple of the most important ways to behave when teaching your dog to overcome separation anxiety. Try to learn new ways to calm your dog. One way you can do this is by just leaving the house for 2 minutes and then returning. Doing this several times will calm your dog as it will start to believe that you will in fact be returning.

By practicing the techniques mentioned above you will be able to teach your dog that even though you left, you came right back. Encouraging your dog to stay in his crate when you are not there may also provide some form of comfort and protection for your dog. Finally, make sure you reward your dog for good behavior. Praise goes a long way. - 20762

Trucking Insurance - Filing a Claim

By Steve Turner

The reason that we have Trucking Insurance coverage is for protection in situations of accidents and truck or personal damages. It is important for drivers to understand the process on how to file a claim and also what to do at the scene of an accident.

The claim process is really simple. After you file the claim with your insurance provider they will then send out an insurance adjuster that will assess the damages that incurred in the accident. Based upon their assessment payment will then be made to cover the expenses of damages and medical bills.

While the process is simple, there are a couple of things that drivers can do to help it move along smoothly. It is important for them to have five things readily at hand: their story, the stories of other drivers involved, the police report, eyewitness accounts, and information about the physical damage at the scene.

Following an accident the first thing that you should do is see if there is anyone in need of immediate medical attention. Call emergency services such as 911 if needed. While waiting provide any medical assistance that you are qualified to do so.

Requesting the other driver involved for their insurance card is important. The truck driver should obtain the other individual's name, phone number, license plane number, and insurance details.

The truck driver should call their insurance agent as soon as they can. The agent will be able to inform the driver what steps need to be taken next to help things move along smoothly. Information can also be given about the types of coverage that will be used in processing the claim.

An appointment with an insurance adjuster will be set up. The adjuster will estimate the value of the damage or losses incurred in the accident and then payment will be made to cover these expenses. - 20762

Finding Private Student Loans

By Colby Mangum

For people who plan to attend college, there is so much more stress involved than just simply getting accepted to the college of your choice. Once accepted, you now have to figure out a way to pay for it. If you aren't one of the rare few who have money stashed away for college, more than likely, you will need the assistance of a student loan.

If need to get a private student loan, there are some helpful tips to help you find some. Most colleges have a financial aid office. This department is set up to help students meet the financial strains of college. Sometimes, they have a lot of information about the best types of private loans and where to find them.

There is a private loan called the Federal Family Education Loan. Even though it is offered by a private lender, the federal government backs the loan. Not all colleges are eligible for this type of loan. Your financial aid office should know if the school is a qualifying school and if it is, what lenders offer the loan.

Lower interest rates are always a good thing because it means less cost to you in the long run. Not all private lenders are able to offer the Federal Family Education Loan so you might need to do your homework to find out which ones do offer them.

If you don't like the information the financial aid office gives you, you can look to the internet. The internet is a fantastic source for information about private student loans. It is important that you look at the different types of loans before you apply.

There are always a few scams out there and more often than not, there are plenty of companies wanting to earn as much money as possible on the loans they issue.

If you have a bank you've been with for a while, you might want to check with them first to see if you can get a better interest rate because you have a standing relationship with them. They have personal experience with your banking history so they might be more willing to offer a good rate if the relationship has been good.

If you want to go to college, it is going to take sacrifice and money. You will have to do the sacrificing, but a private student loan might be able to help you take care of the money part. - 20762

Finding Your Best Anti-aging Cream

By Jen Hopkins

Thereas a lot of questions when picking a wrinkle cream. Whatas the best cream for my skin type? Which cream is suited to my age? Is there a cream that fights wrinkles and prevents acne? How can I get rid of crowas feet? Do I have to get a different cream for each part of my face? There are so many different ingredients! Which ones are the best? Donat worry. Choosing an anti-aging cream is easy if you follow along.

Some women wonder which kind of skin cream will work best for their skin type. It is often suggested that the cream you pick be heavier if your skin is dry. With dry skin, it is also important to select products that have either alcohol or sodium laurel sulfate, which can both dry out your skin. However, if you have drier skin that is also sensitive, you need to stay away from heavier creams. Those with Sensitive skin should also avoid creams with fragrances. It is also recommended for all skin types to avoid products that do not contain oil as this will cause build-up.

Women of different ages have different needs when it comes to fighting wrinkles. For younger women who havenat started to develop lines yet, stick with an ordinary moisturizer with SPF 15. If you have started to develop deeper lines, look for creams labeled aregeneratinga or aage fighting.a Retinol, a substance found in Vitamin A, has shown some results in reducing wrinkles, so look for that ingredient.

Acne can affect women well into adulthood. Many women who are starting to get wrinkles are shocked that they still have acne from their teen years. Aside from reducing wrinkles, retinol also works at fighting acne, so look for that on the box, especially if your skin is on the dryer side. If your skin is on the oilier side, however, be sure to look for creams containing salicylic acid ia it stops acne quickly.

Crowas feet are a special worry because these wrinkles are often the first ones to develop. If you are a young woman with no other signs of aging, stick with your SPF moisturizer, but invest in an eye cream. Caffeine has shown some results in making eyes look more alert and less puffy, but to really fight crowas feet, try looking for something with phenylephrine. It is the active ingredient in hemorrhoid cream and many women swear by this folk remedy. Just donat get it in your eyes!

In an attempt to get women to dole out more cash, it seems that every part of your face now has a corresponding cream in the beauty aisle. Though these aspecialtya creams are really nothing more than a marketing ploy, one type of aspecialtya cream to consider is eye cream. The skin around the eye truly is different than everywhere else on your face because it is so thin. If you are prone to discoloration and puffiness, as well as crowas feet, these creams are for you.

Ingredients in a product are another concern of women. Some ingredients have been mentioned previously: retinol, caffeine and phenylephrine but others are more of a trend. Some of these trendy ingredients are things like rose hips or coffee berry. In actuality, there is not much merit to using these ingredients. Stick with creams containing vitamin A and E and youall have moist skin and fight wrinkles.

Every year, women spend a lot of money to combat aging. However, most of these products are totally ineffective. While searching your store for anti-wrinkling cream may seem like visiting a foreign country, it is actually quite simply if you follow these types mentioned. - 20762

How to cool your car

By Cheryl L. True

If you have a new car, it helps if you know how to repair your vehicle. That way, if your car develops engine trouble on the road, you'll know what to do.

With a little knowledge, you can perform quick troubleshooting procedures when your car breaks down. That's cheaper than waiting for a mechanic or a tow truck to arrive. You don't have to spend a huge amount of money just to hire a professional for a simple job you can do yourself, such as adjusting a few loose screws or cooling an overheating radiator.

As a beginner in auto repair, you must realize the importance of owning a basic service tool kit. This usually contains wrenches, screws and a jack. If your car stalls on the road, you will need these tools to fix it. Tools make auto repairs easier because they allow you to get to hard-to-reach areas.

For instance, what can be done about overheating? This is one of the most common problems during the summer season. It happens when the temperature of the coolant exceeds the normal operating temperature range of the engine.

Overheating has many causes. Idling under hot weather for prolonged periods can wreak havoc on the car's cooling system, because the water pump doesn't turn fast enough. Thus, the coolant is not circulated as it should be. Sometimes a leak may cause the coolant level to drop, causing the radiator to overheat.

To cool your car, follow these tips:

Turn off the air-conditioner (AC). If the car is not seriously overheating, this will reduce the engine's temperature. The AC evaporator is located in front of the radiator, and it adds heat to the air going to your engine. The hotter the incoming air is, the less efficient the radiator will be.

Turn on your heater (set it on highest temperature setting with the blower on the highest setting). This will be uncomfortable for you, but it will cool the engine by transferring the heat to the air. Roll down the windows and remember how "hot" you'll get if your engine has to be replaced because of your ignorance.

If you're stuck in traffic, pull over and stop. Unless you're moving, very little cool air reaches the radiator. Open the hood and let the engine cool off. This takes time, so be patient. Use the time to go get a jug of water or antifreeze.

Check the overflow tank coolant level. If it's empty, the radiator is probably low on coolant.

Check the pressure of the system by wrapping a cloth around the upper radiator hose and squeezing it. If it's still under pressure (hot) it will not squeeze easily. Wait until it does.

If the coolant is low, start the engine and slowly add water or coolant to fill it up. The engine must be running. Adding coolant to a warm engine can crack the block. By running the engine, the coolant keeps moving and reduces the chances of this type of damage occurring.

Zebra Stripes in Design: a Camouflage or a Bold Statement?

By Joan Slownik

Of all the classic animal prints, zebra is one of the favorites. It brings to mind not only casual chic of African safaris, but also something different altogether: glamour, opulence, and style.

Bold and attention-grabbing, zebra print can add zest to any look. The black and white combination is timeless and is always present in fashion design, home decor, and other items. When clothes with zebra prints are worn by a woman (or a man), they make a bold statement of personality and style.

With this in mind, it is difficult to imagine that in nature, zebra pattern is intended as a camouflage, helping zebras to blend in with their surroundings.

But how do zebra's stripes act as camouflage?

Zebra's black and white patterns are some of the most mysterious features of the natural world. Stripes are unique like fingerprints: Every zebra has a slightly different arrangement so, for example, a zebra mare and her foal can keep track of each other in the large herd. Stripes are believed to be an adaptation that prevents zebras from being seen by predators such as lions or hyenas.

One may think that such conspicuous patterns would make them easy prey. However, it is not so. Scientists believe stripes offer zebras protection by acting as a camouflage. That's because the zebra's main predator - the lion - is colorblind. So, it doesn't matter that the zebra's stripes are black and white and the lines of the grass and bushes are green, yellow, or brown. In this case the pattern of stripes is much more important than colors. The wavy lines of a zebra blend in with the surroundings, so if a zebra is standing still, it is practically invisible to the lion.

Also, when all the zebras keep together, the pattern of each zebra's stripes blends in with the stripes of the zebras around it. This confuses the lion, who sees a large, moving, striped mass instead of many individual zebras. It is difficult for him to target any one zebra, or even recognize which way each zebra is moving.

Using Zebra Print In Design

Zebra stripes when used in fashion or home decor definitely will not blend in with their surroundings! Animal prints stand out and call our attention. Wild, exotic, and sophisticated at the same time - they're full of energy and personality.

Animal print clothing and home design accessories is a trend that is steadily growing. It now includes other animal skins, for example, leopard, cheetah, jaguar, tiger, ocelot, giraffe and cow. Another way that this trend is gaining momentum is that more and more accessories have animal print textures.

You can choose anything from coats, jackets, blouses, swimsuits, handbags, jewellery, scarves, shoes, slippers, rugs, bedding, sheets, comforters, pillows, upholstery, lamps, stuffed toys, posters, and other items.

When looking to add animal print to your room decor, clothing or accessories consider what the print does visually, and make sure it fits the message you're trying to get across. Zebra print and other animal textures can make a bold statement and draw attention. Just be sure you want that attention! - 20762

Attraction To Vintage Or Country Cars Is Still Strong

By Mika Smith

In the United States, country cars are also known as antique cars or vintage cars. By definition, these are cars that are 25 years old or more in time span. When it comes to the vehicle manufacturing process, the last decade has seen a huge technological leap. Cars have become part of our daily life also because they have been outfitted with a lot of gadgets such as CD players, DVDs, and more.

We now enjoy breathtaking technology in newer model cars and there is a tendency to look down or even totally overlook vintage cars. For example, in yesteryears, cars predominantly ran on gasoline, but today there are cars that run on water, electricity and even bio-fuels. These are called hybrid vehicles and are geared to take over the auto industry in the coming years. Cars also also solely made by robots today with minimal human interaction during the manufacturing process.

Cars now spot remote controlled interfaces, multi-heat systems that heat the front and the back seat at different temperatures, DVD/Blue-ray players, bars, pool machines and all more. But in spite of these advancements, there are still a lot of people who are loyal to country cars and who go to great lengths to look for them and buy them. So why are country cars still popular?

Firstly, they are man-made. We mentioned earlier than modern cars are mostly the products of robotic machines which populate the vehicle manufacturing plants in Japan, the US, China and Europe. These modern cars supposedly lack the "human touch" and are therefore regarded as cold and unsentimental. Because of the elimination of the human element in the manufacturing process, most cars are no longer made by hand. There are people who feel that anything made by hand holds more sentimental value and hence the fascination with vintage country cars.

Everything else including the packaging is done by machines. Country cars on the other hand, originated from an era where manufacturing plants were staffed solely by real humans and vehicle manufacture was an art. The people who worked in vehicle manufacturing plants had a passion for what they did and held their position with esteem. Because of this, there are many people today who feel that vintage cars had a touch of quality and dignity that lacks in modern cars.

Country cars also hold popularity because of their. Vehicles design has undergone a renaissance. This makes antique cars made 30 or more years ago almost unrecognizable as far as modern designs are concerned. This could be the case even though they are the exact same models.

The fact that vintage cars look radically different from their modern compatriots makes them very romantic. It is not uncommon to see vintage cars featured in blockbuster movies such as Grease, Terminator, Transformers and Blade. This is because they possess a rare look which turns heads as they pass. There is even a certain sex appeal associated with vintage/antique cars.

The only major drawback with vintage cars is that their parts can be hard to find. For vintage car owners in the United States and the EU, this may not necessarily be an issue but is can be if the owner lives in a different country where car parts are imported then there could be an issue (or the parts may be very costly). - 20762

Cheap Car Insurance

By Trip R. Fratzz

The tough economic times have made saving a priority for most individuals. For car owners, saving on expenses such as monthly car insurance is very critical. With many car insurance companies lowering their car insurance rates, car owners are now in a better position to get cheaper car insurance.

Purchasing cheap car insurance begins with shopping for low car insurance quotes and comparing them. It also helps if car owners are more conscious on their credit rating, driving history, and the security of their cars. If car owners are able to secure lower car insurance rates, then they will definitely realize a lot of savings which they can use for more important expenses.

The good news for many car owners is that there are a lot of car insurers that offer low insurance policies during these times. Because of the tough competition among car insurance companies, some insurance firms have lowered their car insurance rates in hopes garnering more customers. So car owners should be more motivated in searching for discounted car insurance since it can enable them to pay less for their monthly car insurance premiums.

You can qualify on cheap automotive insurance if you have a good driving history. The less traffic infractions you have, the better chances that you will qualify for cheap car insurance. Be sure to follow traffic rules and regulations so that you can get lower car insurance and subsequently pay lower for your monthly car insurance.

You can also install security alarm system and a good brake system in your car so your car insurance company will give you discounted rates. Another way of paying less for your monthly car insurance is to have a good credit standing. Car owners who have good credit rating are normally given great discounts by car insurance companies. - 20762

Your Life Will Change and You Will Double Your Income When You Change Your Brain

By Raymond Aaron

Lots of press has been given to The Law of Attraction especially in the Movie The Secret. What's missing is hard proof.

The University of Wisconsin has found scientific proof! When you think positive thoughts chemicals actually get created.

These changes can happen in both the conscious and sub-conscious parts of our minds and, in fact, it's when we affect the sub-conscious that we really master The Laws of Attraction. You can truly learn to Change Your Brain, Change Your Life.

J. Assaraf who wrote The Street Kids Guide To Having It All mastered the inner game using quantum physics.

Don't worry about physics. Just master the inner game and you've got it. No need to change the facts; they stay the same. Just change the thoughts.

Once we do that, we change what Assaraf calls our "reticular activation system." This modifies the list of things our brains focus on as being important and we suddenly begin to see opportunities differently. We can set goals that are realistic but not limited by negative thinking; for example, when you think about making more money, think of a million a year rather than $100,000.

To double your income, you need to focus clearly on your positive goals. And, your outside life will totally change.

We can alter this dynamic through neural reconditioning - that is, by creating the positive neuro-patterns (i.e., beliefs) that we want in our brains to support the new vision we've set for ourselves.

This is actually easier than it sounds; everyone can do it! Start identifying negative thoughts as soon as they appear in your conscious mind and immediately think of the reverse. Here's an example: if you've been on an interview and find yourself thinking of all the reasons you won't get the job, immediately change the message you're giving yourself. Tell yourself that you were articulate and knowledgeable and that you will get the position.

Then visualize yourself at that job - sitting in the executive chair, conducting successful meetings, etc. Do this every time and you will definitely begin to believe in your own capabilities and a positive outcome to every opportunity. Over time, these new beliefs will become habits and you'll find yourself creating the life you desire.

Summer Camp Minnesota

By A Former Camper

Summer Camp in the North woods of Minnesota is more than the pristine beauty of lakes, forests and eagles flying overhead. To me, Summer Camp is another home with another family. But camp isn't just any family or any home, Swift Nature Camp is a special Minnesota Camp.

This summer home is filled with acceptance, love, encouragement, and true, down to earth friends who you will end up calling your camp family. Your counselors act as parents, older siblings, etc. They are great people to look up to. The campers are great friends for life. You may even end up looking at them as siblings. Acceptance is everywhere, no one kicks you out of the cabin because of who you are. Your uniqueness is celebrated. This is the main reason why I love Swift Nature Camp...it's so much more than just having fun.

When you're not on canoe or backpack trips and just at camp, there is so much to do, you can never fit it all in. Other fun activities to do at camp are archery, swimming, fishing, boating, tubing, and riflery. I loved being active all day. What is real neat is rather you are a beginner or an expert in an area its ok. The counselors help you get better. All activities are noncompetitive and so we all support each other, rather than worry who is best.

I'll never forget the great out of camp trips we took like the Superior Hiking Trail. What an adventure! I loved being in the of the forest. overlooking Lake Superior. The wildlife was wonderful too we saw hawks, bald eagles, & deer. This is why I love Minnesota Camps

Cabin life is all about learning about others. We come from all over America and even other countries, to meet at a Minnesota Summer Camp. In each cabin there are 10 campers and 2 very kind counselors. Our goal is to become a team for the 3 or 6 weeks we are there. Sure, we had our fights, but always they are resolved and we grow closer because of them.

I always loved the Nature Center. It is a great place to learn about Nature and the Environment. The Director is always fun and teaches us loads of cool things but its not at all like school. There are all sorts of animals that are fun to observe and hold. One day they even made me feel a little more comfortable when I was homesick.

I plan on going back to Swift Nature Camp for all these reasons. If you come for just one summer, I know you will feel as I do. So, I'll see yawl in the North woods of Minnesota this summer! - 20762

Medicare supplement insurance provided by private enterprises such as insurance, additional insurance for all people have access to Medicare. It is meaningful to fill the space left behind by the health plan by the government. To purchase insurance type this, one must first ensure that they are enrolled in Medicare Part B for a minimum of 6 months. This is because the insurers are obliged to accept you even though in any prior conditions for current health.

Is it expected to pay a fixed premium each month, and those that fall in profits with incomes below the level of assistance could be obtained. It is desirable to understand the options presented in the context of health care, as well as the rules to join or change the policies of medical care.

2 Tips to Make an Online Business Search to Earn Residual Income

By Francisco Rodriguez

I would divide residual income sources into two business search. There are subscription based affiliate programs, which bring income every month from the subscription fees your customers will pay. And then there is automated and repeated promotions, which drive targeted traffic to your site with a regular flow, who will use money there.

Learn everything you can about those who compete for your customers. Do business search regularly to keep an eye on both yours and their rankings and to check for any new competitors on the scene. There are plenty of search engine optimization software products available today. They will assist in the massive collection of data on your home based business competitors. Get together a list of keywords. The lists are there for the picking, but you have to go after them. Rank your list to reflect the words that best describe your site. Again, there are many products available on the internet that will help you pick your keywords.

But after they have purchased, the money starts to come. Now it is a job of your merchant, your principal, to take care of them. The best affiliate programs will do their home work properly. They will keep contact with their subscribers regularly and they will update their sites and marketing material also. When you track the behavior of these subscribers deeply, you will soon see, which programs can keep their subscribers and which cannot. It is a very simple decision to start to concentrate on those good ones and skip more business search.

By far the best kind of links to get is one-way links, meaning sites that are pointing to your site without having you pointing back to them. This generally means that they think your site is so important that it is worthwhile to point to your site even though they don't have the benefit of a reciprocal link back. This is by far the most effective type to improve your search engine rankings.

Bookmarked Site Brings Repeated Visitors With Strong Marketing. When we speak about residual income, the best income builder is of course your site, full of useful online business ideas. When you succeed to build and fine-tune a site, which a visitor wants to bookmark, it will become a business search for many loyal people and in this way builds a residual income to you.

This is a basically simple view of the procedure you need to follow to optimize your online home based business search engine results. There are definitely other ways to fine-tune your site's rankings. To get you started, however, this list will give you a decent start to higher rankings and more profit. - 20762

Getting Over A Break Up

By Matt Lions

Why is it so difficult to stay in a fulfilling relationship? This is a thought that must run through every person's mind when they're involved in a break-up. Society should provide some sort of training for this experience, because we all handle it really badly. We always want to get our ex back, for example, but we have no idea how to accomplish this.

Take this, for instance. Some people act far too needy and clingy. They want their ex to come back to them so much that they just come across as desperate. You want your ex to have feelings for you, not just feel sorry for you.

If you've made that mistake yourself, good luck. It's still not impossible to get your ex back, but you've certainly made it harder for yourself.

Acting like you're not desperate when you truly feel that way is not going to be easy. But look at the situation objectively. Think about things from your ex's point of view and how they are going to be seeing you.

All the emotions that you have, should be done in private. There is absolutely nothing wrong with crying or screaming, but do that in your own private time, not in front of your ex.

Also, try not to make yourself appear combative. That's a real problem, and it's definitely not going to score any points with your ex. It's most likely to push them in the completely opposite direction. You've probably seen an ex-couple fight when you know that at least one of them wants to get back together!

Screaming matches only hurt your case, and they don't help you provide a constructive framework for resuming the relationship.

Merchant Account Guide

By Bobbie McKee

If you are one of those that are planning to enter the business, there are some things that you need to know to avoid committing mistakes that would cost your business investment. Let this considerations serve as your guide to merchant accounts and choosing a merchant account provider.

1. To lease, to rent or to purchase. This is one of the factors that greatly affect merchant account providers. Experts say that one of the least options in this case is to lease because you will be forced to pay more than what you should have. Unlike if you purchase it, you will be paying just enough for the processing solution and all other stuff that needs to be dealt with. Renting can also be an option usually on a month-to-month basis.

This can be a good option because when you find that the terms are no longer working for you and you have found another set of terms that will suit your needs better, you can always cancel it any time you like. This is also ideal for those that don't have enough money to purchase a merchant account because it can offer you initial solution options right away.

This is definitely "no-no" when it comes to merchant account providers because doing this is considered as an illegal practice called "factoring" or "credit card laundering". Merchant account providers that allow somebody to use another person's merchant account in dealing with any transaction should be reported to authorities immediately so they won't to lead people to commit mistakes that can lead to more complicated financial troubles.

3. The kind of processing solutions are available. This is also another major consideration in merchant account transactions because it can define the options for the client as early as possible.

To choose which one is best for you, you can check out the "Solutions Guide" available in most merchant account sites so you can have a detailed list of information depending on the type of solution available. Aside from giving you early options, you can also have an idea which solution will work best on the nature or type of business that you have.

4. The list of credit cards that can be accepted. In the world of merchant accounts, the list of credit cards that can be accepted will mainly depend on the merchant account provider. Usually, the most common ones that are processed and accepted include the "Visa", the "MasterCard," the "American Express" and the "Discover accounts". Others also use the "Diner's Club" as well as the "JCB" merchant but not all people opt for it.
