This beats driving elsewhere and spending more money on gas!

4. Stay Out of Traffic

Tired of idling? We all want to arrive at our destinations sooner, avoiding gas-guzzling traffic jams. These websites provide traffic information, provided you live in supported metro areas:

MSN Autos Traffic Reports – http://autos.msn.com/everyday/trafficreport.aspx

Check your local department of transportation as it may display traffic information online. This can include cameras, incident information, and/or road closures. Perform a Google search similar to the following:

California dot

Tennessee dot

New York dot

How to heal vocal cords quickly

How to heal vocal cords quickly and efficiently
after a rough weekend of gigs or public speaking

I hate taking drugs. I know that’s hard to hear coming from a full time working musician. But it is true. I hate taking anti-histamines or sprays. I prefer the holistic approach.

The three ways to protect your voice:

1. Water: Distilled water is the best. Chlorinated water, even when filtered is the worst. Why? Think about how your skin feels after you’ve been swimming. Chlorine does the same thing to vocal cords – dries them out.

If you can not find steam distilled water, Wal-Marts have water filtered by reverse osmosis. It’s a charcoal based filtering system that has no bacteria. Spring water is no good for that reason. You don’t know what spring it came from, so you don’t what organisms are still there.

2. Sleep: Hard to get enough sleep. If you’re like me, you go, go, go. So 8 hours is tough. What I do is I make sure I take a nap before every gig.

It’s a really good idea

Tue ,29/06/2010

It’s a really good idea to start preparing and planning for retirement long before you reach the age. Many people often have a wrong notion about retirement; when it comes they feel they’ve been used and discarded. It is increasingly getting clearer that people can actually get richer in retirement than they were when working. This is buttressed by the fact that there are many activities a retiree can get involved in. One way to get the best from retirement is to join any retirement community around you. These retirement communities consists of homes, townhouses, or condos and caters exclusively to the needs of active and elderly people. The retirement community also serves as a place where like minded people can interact with each other. One other way to get the best out of life after retirement is to engage the services of a retirement planner. In cases like this, friends, relatives and former colleagues are the best people that can recommend a good retirement planner for you. Take it or leave it, you can only be guaranteed of a happy retirement if you hire a good retirement planner.

Learn to forgive yourself if things don’t go perfectly, and then learn to stop caring about perfect anyway.

10. Feel your body from within.

Our sensual experience can be deepened dramatically by focusing on our experience from within our body.

Get out of your head and let your consciousness move to the centre of your body.

Don’t let the mind wander or engage in pointless internal chatter. Don’t let your fantasies and thoughts take you further from the experience at hand.

Be in the present experience and the present moment.

So there you have it. Any of these tips individually can start to impact on your sexual performance right now. If you learn them all, you will be a master of your body in and out of the bedroom.

And most importantly of course, enjoy yourself practising!!

Love, Mukee

Despite of fact it may not touch every single hair or be permanent, the effect is significant and results last long enough to make it a good option vs. shaving, waxing or electrolysis.

The good news is laser treatment can be used in alternation with other procedures. When the laser is used an area is permanently burned off, another portion is just temporarily removed and the rest is not influenced at all. After 3-4 months of alternative treatment, laser removal can be used again. In the same way, some part of hair is completely killed off, another part is just temporarily removed and another remains untouched. And things can go on.

Tue ,29/06/2010

This is not a recipe for a piece of fruit although the thought of baking it in a pie and mailing it to the responsible party’s does seem like a good idea.

1. Sell your Blackberry on ebay as a Treo with a model number that does not exist. I only got burned this way once, so don’t think it can’t be done. (I do not endorse or recommend this one! It’s illegal.)

2. Just look at your Blackberry as a $300 smartphones/calculator with some extra functions – and go get another hand held PC.

3. Clean it up, put it back in the box it came in and give it to your boss – tell them it’s an electronic rolodex/calculator with some other functions that they’ll never notice anyway.

DUI means Driving under

Tue ,29/06/2010

DUI means Driving under the Influence (of alcohol and/or drugs). There are certain rules made to assist motorists, cyclists and pedestrians because of drivers who are guilty of indulging in drugs and alcohol before driving. They are called the DWI laws and they guard against drunk or drugged driving. Two different cases may begin against someone who is apprehended for committing a DUI offense. One of them is the criminal case where criminal charges will be brought against the accused. You will endure a lot of frustration and worry from this because you will be stuck with a jail term or even worse. The second is the case where the state will try to suspend your driving privileges for a particular period. Life can be really difficult when you lose these driving privileges particularly when you reside in an area where there is hardly any form of transport. You may have to depend on others to get to your destination. There are so many things to consider in a DUI case so its not right to preconceive a happy ending. But, you are better off with a DUI attorney who can get you good results. DUI attorneys are schooled particularly in that aspect of the law and with their skills and knowledge, they have a greater chance of getting you off the hook. A DUI lawyer who is practiced may be able to produce skilled witnesses or information of chemical testing that will be of assistance during your case. By producing a witness or significant details your DUI attorney will be able to use it to your benefit. Hearings such as yours will not silence your DUI attorney if this is his specialty and you may not lose your driving privileges after all.

One of the most common forms of male cancers afflicting the men folk is prostate cancer. Research has proved that about 50% to 70% of the men folk in their 70s have prostate cancer yet about 1 out of 10 actually develops the symptoms. Many men are unaware of prostrate cancer until they experience it. Experts arent sure as to what precisely causes prostrate cancer; however they associate it with age, diet, way of life, and other testosterone metabolism. If prostate cancer is still in the early stages then it can be treated successfully. I recommend that you take a PSA (prostate specific antigen) test each year to ensure that you dont have prostate cancer. This test is painless and if there is any discovery of prostate cancer, it will be taken up from there. The stage of the cancer will determine the kind of treatment that will be effected. The prostate cancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal treatment or a mixture of them. You must not forget the importance of realizing the genetic source of this ailment. It is left to the doctor to decide what the patients general health condition, age, location of the tumor in the prostate, size of the tumor is. Even though most patients undergo radial prostatectomy, it is important that they are in good health before going for it. Dietary adjustments are important enough to help you battle prostate cancer. You must introduce a lot of vegetables and fruits and fiber into your meals and desist from excess animal fat.
