The Human Antenna
June 23, 2008 | Posted by Ernest
Dr. Robin Kelly’s latest book The Human Antenna is filled with exciting scientific theories and experiments that are not covered in many popular channels. For the first time, you’ll read about water molecules shaping after positive words and emotions; plants responding to human feelings; living tissues healing with cosmic energy; and many more grasping scientific researches that indicate the transmission and reception of cosmic signals in each and every cell of our body. This is why Dr. Kelly has titled his work ‘The Human Antenna’.
Dr. Kelly’s book has two main points of import. First, it rediscovers the concept of ‘life’ and its relation to nature in the light of a new understanding brought by less-known scientific ventures. The basic order of humans and other life forms is shown as a copy of the universal makeup after which all reality is shaped. In short, it tells us that we are all ‘microcosms’. Secondly, The Human Antenna brings the hopeful news of treating several diseases more effectively by simple healing techniques that are free of adverse effects and cost considerably less than contemporary medical treatment.
Using his humor to share personal stories of healing, Dr. Kelly introduces his readers to a richer and more enjoyable mode of living. The Human Antenna is a medical doctor’s journey to wonderful truths and a better life. As the subtitles it, the book invites ‘reading the language of the universe in the songs of our cells.’

AIDS Orphans Rising
June 3, 2008 | Posted by Ernest
In many countries of the world, AIDS is assuming the status of an epidemic, killing thousands of people each year. While the victims of AIDS and their families suffer from the emotional trauma associated with terminal illness and death, AIDS is taking over humanity in another terrifying way: leaving young children orphan and completely on their own. In her latest book AIDS Orphans Rising: What You Should Know and What You Can Do To Help Them Succeed (Loving Healing Press, December 2007), Sister Mary Elizabeth Lloyd draws the attention of her readers to a terrifying fact: every 14 seconds, a child headed household is formed somewhere in the world.
A child headed household, or CHH, is a household headed by a child due to the death of both his/her parents, leaving him/her in charge of the younger siblings and with the question ‘how to survive?’ While these children have developed some coping strategies (like menial labor, selling grains along roads, and technical work etc.), many of them are too young to do any work and are left to begging or dependency on others. Since the governments in most of their countries are poor, these children need help from grown ups to survive and develop into functional members of their society. Sister Mary Elizabeth’s book tells us how to help the orphans of AIDS.
AIDS Orphans Rising carries a complete list of sources that are helping these poor children. Financial aid, donations, international adoption, distant adoption, and moral support are the main types of help we can offer these children and make a difference in their lives. AIDS is preying on humanity by depriving human children of their parents and throwing them into the struggle for survival. In AIS Orphans Rising, Sister Mary Elizabeth calls all caring people to come forward and protect our young ones from the fatal blows of AIDS. This book is a major step in that direction.

The Tonya Tapes
May 20, 2008 | Posted by Ernest
It has been 14 years since the news of a brutal attack on U.S. national champion figure skater Nancy Kerrigan shook the entire world of sports and popular media. With an injured Kerrigan crying ‘why!’ in pain, the championship title soon shifted to her teammate Tonya Harding and it was time for arrows of doubt to target this skating icon. Could she be involved in the attack on Kerrigan? After a long period of infamous silence, US skating icon Tonya Harding has finally let the whole story out in a new book The Tonya Tapes (World Audience Inc. New York, 2008).
Written by best-selling author of international repute Lynda D Prouse, The Tonya Tapes reveals the complete first-hand story of Tonya Harding, covering the controversial issue of her relation to the Kerrigan tragedy and a number of other shockingly revealing aspects of her troubled life. For the first time in the history of this controversial sports scandal, readers come to know her as a person who herself has been the victim of abuse – something that would plague her inner self with a fear that ultimately kept her from daring to clear her position on the Kerrigan controversy.
Tonya Harding personally appeared on The Today Show on May 15, 2008 and The Tonya Tapes is increasingly being talked about in popular media including People magazine and Newsweek besides many other channels and publications. It’s the perfect summer read for sports enthusiasts and scandal buffs.

Back in the Big Apple….
May 12, 2008 | Posted by Casey
To those of you who have read my blogs in the past and to the few that actually enjoyed them I send a big hello to you. I have been taking some time off from the hustle and bustle of life trying to regroup and prepare for a busy year. I have missed sharing my thoughts on this site and am greatful to still have the opportunity to continue doing so now that I am back. I wish I could write something longer right now but I’m going to the Mandorin Oriental Hotel over on Columbus Circle for some green tea and a chance to take in the view of Central Park. If you ever want to truly have a chance to enjoy the small pleasures of life, this is the place to do it. I hope all out there have a productive day.
Strategies
May 7, 2008 | Posted by Ernest
As Tami Brady suffered from the painful and peace-haunting symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, she lost control of her life. To mask her fears, she pressed harder on herself in her field work as an archeology student, trying to convey that she was strong as ever. But one day, when she collapsed in the field and was raised to her feet by her friends, she heard the most important thing from one of the students; that she was human just like them. In her latest book Strategies: A Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Journey (Loving Healing Press, Michigan, 2008), Tami Brady tells the story of transformation as a person after her painful experience of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. In a very important sense, Dr. Brady found herself a more confident and wiser person even to the point of thanking the two diseases for visiting her and making this shift in personality possible.
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are quite prevalent with no exact cause or cure known so far and often being wrongly diagnosed as one or more of several other disorders with similar symptoms. Strategies explores the nature of these two debilitating diseases via the author’s personal journey through them. Realizing the hazards of passively receiving treatment with prescribed medicine, Tami started to formulate her own treatment strategies, targeting both specific symptoms and general well-being. Thus we learn about three main strategies that every patient of these diseases can benefit from: physical support, stress management, and natural medication. Tami’s book is a valuable resource of various means of coping with fibromyalgia and stress that leads to exhaustion.
Strategies also includes a complete treatment plan in form of the many pages to be used by readers who are patients of fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome. By presenting her own treatment plan as a model, the book makes self-treatment easy and simple enough to be used with confidence by any and all readers. For every health conscious individual, and particularly for those who want to win their battle over stress and fatigue, Tami Brady’s book is highly recommended.

Check out:

Olive, borage and apricot oils produce a lovely scent, surpassed only by the rich texture of this fabulous body cream. Vitamin E, aloe juice and shea butter replenish skin, providing increased elasticity. The newest skin care line from Acqua Di Parma, the Blu Mediterraneo concept brings the sense of well being experienced in Blu Mediterraneo spas right into your home.
NUDE Age Defence Food Supplements:
Between my commitment to monthly facials, my use of skin serums and using NUDE Age Defence capsules, my skin looks better than it has in years. The jar has two different capsules with two different priorities. The brown gel cap contains antioxidants from green tea, turmeric and ginger support the detoxification process and protect against free radicals – you take this one in the morning. At night you take the green one with energizing CoQ10 and probiotic nutrients to support your immune system and stimulate cell renewal. Yes, they may smell a little funny. As most supplements do, but they work!

My oily t-zone loves this cleanser as it helps to regulate oil production. Antioxidants sink in easily to help your skin rebuild from its daily war with environmental - and every other kind - of issues. It smells so divine; you might think you want to drink it!

It comes out brown straight from the tube so you can easily see where it’s going and you can add another layer if you want a darker tone. You won’t get the weird smell that you can with some self tanners too as Talk to the Tan contains none of those kinds of ingredients. Wash this off at the end of the day then get up the next morning and Talk to the Tan!!
Stay Beautiful,
Laura

The Bunko Babes
April 19, 2008 | Posted by Ernest
There are three Fs in this heart-warming debut novel from Leah Starr Baker that make the book rich with all the fullness of life: Friendship, Family, and Faith. This trinity lies at the core of a complete life of a woman as we are shown by thirty-seven years old Rebecca Thornton who tells the story of her encounter with a life-threatening illness and a heap of other problems within the circle of her close friends-the ‘Bunko Babes’. By mutual support, trust, and faith in divine intervention, Rebecca gets the most in her life and emerges as a woman better prepared for living the life to the lees.
The story of Rebecca Thornton is, in every sense, the story of a modern American woman who has a family to care for and who is burdened with the responsibility of keeping things in place while the surrounding circumstances push her to anxiety and lack of direction. All the Bunko Babes have their own problems and insecurities but they all share the most valuable resource of support-good friendship and mutual trust. These two things alone suffice to let a woman’s spirits stand up to their responsibilities. Adding to the meaning of one’s difficult experiences is the element of faith which, though may be lacking in good times, serves to balm the inner soars and makes healing complete when some physical and/or psychological trauma batters one’s integrity.
Like many other good works of women’s fiction, Leah Baker’s first novel takes a critical look at the nature of various problems that plague families and relationships, ranging from problems with growing kids to infidelities of husbands and issues related to aging. Many women usually have to bear the brunt of the aftermath of these problems and it takes a long time and good deal of effort to pull the boat of life out of the troubled waters. With trusting friends, honesty, and faith, these trials of life can be dealt with most effectively, gaining in the process instead of coming to a loss. Mrs. Baker’s novel instantiates the practice of writing purposeful fiction that has the potential of making a difference in the reader’s own life.
The Bunko Babes is a special treat for women-entertaining, inspiring, and educating- but it will also make a touching read for men who value family, friendship, and faith.
