Imagine yourself lying flat on your back, totally strapped down
onto a cold, hard table, unable to move any part of your body.
You can't see anything around you because your eyes are covered.
You find yourself imprisoned by the enemy and you have no where
to go for help. The room is silent except for the slow, steady,
drops of water that fall on your forehead.
The longer you lay there, the more uncomfortable you feel. Your
body tenses up after each drop of water as you anticipate the
next one ...Read the rest of this entry »

A Living Will is a legal document addressing only deathbed
considerations; a client unilaterally declares his/her desire
that life-prolonging measures be discontinued when there is no
hope of ultimate recovery.
On the other hand, people use a Durable Power of Attorney for
Health Care to appoint someone to make all healthcare decisions,
limited by certain elections regarding deathbed issues.
The client must be at least 18 years old and mentally competent
at the time he/she executes either ...Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever really thought about what goes into a good cup of coffee? If you are anything like me you probably haven't, for the simply reason you are too engrossed unwinding and enjoying the rich aroma and taste to bother with any of the technical side of the brew. The deepest I have ever gone when I have a cup of the rich umber beverage in my hand is to let my mind drift off with the floating steam.
The information on the wrapper might tell you a bit about the beans you're drinking but ...Read the rest of this entry »

Beverages are as plentiful on this planet as opinions-well almost. It seems there is a new beverage on the market every time I turn around. This is a good thing in a world where tastes are evolving and people tend to tire of the same thing day in and day out. The same holds true with our drinks of choice. It's amazing how quickly the beverage industry has evolved in the past and continues to evolve today.
Now you don't have a choice of white milk or chocolate milk, there are many options in ...Read the rest of this entry »

Sbiten, the traditional beverage for wintertime in Russia, is a
drink with a long, colorful history. Research shows that sbiten
has been around since the fourteenth century. Traditionally,
Sbiten was served from oft-heated copper samovars by the
sbitenshchik, who served it up until the beginning of the
twentieth century on Russian street corners.
I have always loved all things Russian. For the past twenty
years, I have collected stamps from Russia and outlying
territories, and have an ...Read the rest of this entry »

Congratulations on taking the decision to prepare your own food
for your baby! By doing so, you're treating him to two of life's
greatest gifts -- good health and delicious food.
Before you get started, here are some important points to keep
in mind...
ONE AT A TIME Introduce new foods to your baby's diet one at a
time. Allow at least five days between each new food. This will
give you time to spot any allergic reactions. Introduce them at
breakfast or lunch to reduce the risk of any allergic ...Read the rest of this entry »

Here are 5 good reasons to start preparing your own baby food,
as opposed to buying it in the store.
1. IT'S HEALTHIER AND MORE NUTRITIOUS Commercial baby foods
contain additional fat, salt, sugar, fillers or other
ingredients that are completely unnecessary (and often
inappropriate) to your baby's diet. These additives are an
attempt to add flavor, texture and bulk to poor-quality
products. They contribute nothing at all to your baby's health
or well-being. By preparing the food yourself, you ...Read the rest of this entry »

Supervision
Never leave a young child unattended for even a second. Toddlers
are naturally curious explorers and a second is all it takes for
them to find trouble that may end in tragedy. According to the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) 75% of submersion
victims were between 1 and 3 years old. Never assume another
adult is watching your children, you must take full
responsibility of their safety, particularly around water. When
your child goes missing, always check the water first. ...Read the rest of this entry »
