Mommy & Baby: Establishing Your Baby?s Routine

Whether you have one baby or a passel of them, consistency of care will establish peace for all in your family. What do I mean by this?
Basically, you?re going to fall in to a pattern of routine for your baby and your family as you care for your bundle of joy and her needs. The first week you may struggle with keeping her awake enough to properly feed; that?s okay?newborns are sleepy heads! Wakefulness is a goal to strive for. By the second week, you?ll probably see her more alert and awake for feedings than she was the first week
Your lifestyle will be a large determinant in your flexible routine: are you scheduled and orderly or do you happily ?fly by the seat of your pants?? The idea of something flexible is that it will bend and shape as you need it to, r View the rest of this article


Allergies The Silent Disease

Allergies affect approximately 60 million Americans, which means one in every five adults or children suffer from them, and are common in men as well as in women. Thirty-five million people have upper respiratory symptoms, which are allergic reactions to airborne pollen. Around 10 million Americans have allergies to cats and two million present severe reactions to various insect stings.
Food allergies are less common in the family of allergies. About one out of three people pretend to have a food allergy and only about three to eight percent of children younger than three years old, and only one percent of adults really have an allergic reactions to food. Unfortunately, food allergies are blamed for close to 200 deaths every year. Scientists say that allergies ha View the rest of this article


What Is Your Car Trying To Tell You?

Over all my years of driving the one thing that still causes me the most concern is when I hear a new noise. This drives me particularly crazy every spring. After months of having the windows rolled up it's very disconcerting when you first roll down the window to get a whiff of that fresh springtime air and you start hearing all those noises you car makes, and perhaps has been making all winter long. Then you start to think "what's that noise?", "how long has it been doing that?"
You drive your car everyday. You know how it should handle. If you notice something amiss, and more than once, get it checked out. You may save yourself a lot of inconvenience and money in the long run. You and your mechanic need to be a team when it comes to the maintenance of your car View the rest of this article

Painless Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is rapidly growing to be the most popular quick painless hair removal treatment of all time. This is largely because of the immense benefits that the treatment seems to promise to millions of people around the world who are feeling unattractive due to the presence of unwanted body hair. Electrolysis for hair removal is fast becoming a thing of the past even as quick hair removal methods like waxing and tweezing continue to diminish in popularity as long-term or permanent hair removal treatments.
So you are beginning to catch the drift here, that while several marketers may offer a variety of permanent hair removal solutions, few actually make consumer sense in terms of the total benefits that it offers. And this where laser hair removal has sto View the rest of this article


Food Allergies

An allergy can be described as a malfunction of the immune system, an exaggerated response to certain substances. Your body mistakenly believes that something it has touched, smelled or eaten is harmful to it and your body releases massive amounts of chemicals, such as histamine to protect itself.
It is believed that 11 million Americans suffer from food allergies. These allergies are as varied as food itself is. Some people suffer from an allergy to one food, some to many. The most common food allergies are generally eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts (such as walnuts), fish, shellfish, soy and wheat.
Symptoms of food allergies are varied and range from a tingling of the mouth to swelling of the tongue and throat to difficulty breathing to hives, cramps, diarrhe View the rest of this article

Paying for Items with eBay Coupons

There’s a novel idea afoot nowadays: Using electronic discount


coupons to pay for items people are interested in purchasing.





This only goes to show that most good marketing ideas can be


adopted for the internet. Instead of cutting coupons out from


newspapers or carton boxes, eBay gives out electronic copies of


coupons to purchase merchandise. The coupons are fast and easy to


use.





Coupons are routinely sent by eBay to members who then use them


to pay for items through PayPal. The coupons signify specific


discounts that can be applied to the purchase of items.

Choosing Great Pool Table Lights

When you’re looking for lighting for your pool table, you should consider three primary things: first, the practicality of the light; second, the quality, brightness, and direction of the light; and thirdly, how great it looks in your pool room.
The practicality of pool table lights covers several different things as well. You need to consider how large your room is and how high the ceiling is. Your pool table lights won’t do you any good at all if they get in the way of playing. With a very low ceiling, you almost certainly won’t be able to choose one of those cool Tiffany-style stained glass hanging lights because you won’t be able to play properly. Your pool table lights should never get in the way of your pool cue either.
If you do have a low ceiling, con View the rest of this article


Fish Oil Benefits - 7 Major Fish Oil Health Benefits

Fish oil benefits? You bet! Fish oil health benefits are important and wide-ranging. Proven by numerous clinical studies, fish oil benefits range from brain health to heart health to pregnancy health.
Fish oil health benefits come primarily from the two Omega 3 essential fatty acids in fish oil -- DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and to a lesser extent EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). While plant sources such as flax seed will provide the body with Omega 3 oil, the body must convert it into DHA and EFA, and that conversion can be difficult for some people or for elderly people. However, fish oil provides the body with DHA and EPA in a natural form that can easily be assimilated.
Here are seven major fish oil benefits:

Low Testosterone Women And Low Testosterone In Women Symptoms

Low testosterone women and low testosterone in women symptoms are related to hormone levels in the woman's body. Testosterone production in a woman is about 10% of the amount typically made by a man. Testosterone is produced primarily in a woman's ovaries and adrenal glands.
Along with the two other vital hormones - progesterone and estrogen - testosterone production declines as a woman ages. Low testosterone women may experience certain symptoms, the most notable symptom being low libido. However, low testosterone in women can also contribute to depression and osteoporosis.
Harvard-trained family physician Dr. John R. Lee describes his experience with low testosterone women in the book What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Premenopause. He reports t View the rest of this article


How Do Dutch Auctions Work On Ebay?

A multiple-item (‘Dutch’) auction is an auction where more than one of the same item is being sold at once. There are two kinds of Dutch auctions.
Without Bidding.
The most common Dutch auctions are actually a combination of two auction types: they’re multiple-item fixed price auctions (Dutch Buy it Now auctions to you and me). This just means that you can offer more than one of an item at a time for a fixed price.
This is very powerful if you’re selling something small in large quantities. You can just say how many of the item you have, and the Buy it Now auction will stay there until its duration is up or all the items have been sold.
Buyers aren’t limited to only buying one item at a time, either: they can enter how many they want and then just cli View the rest of this article

What Is Your Hair Type?

Everyday you see people with all color and style of hair. But did you know that you have a hair type? Yes! Not all hair has been created the same.
Lets start with the basic structure of hair:
1) Hair grows from the follicle, which is long and bulbous. If you were to pull out a strand of hair you would see the bulge at the tip of the hair. The cells at the base of the follicle divide rapidly and is where you get your hair growth.
2) Each strand of hair consists of three layers, the first being the innermost layer called the medulla. This is only present though in thick hair though.
3) The middle layer is known as the cortex. This layer provides the strength, color and texture of your hair.
4) The outer most layer is called the cuticle and this is w View the rest of this article

Make or Buy: the link development decision

Everyone knows that you have to have inbound links into your site in order for the search engines to value it and rank it highly against your chosen keywords. But is it better to buy those links from a link broker or directly from the site itself, or to go through time-consuming effort of building reciprocal links?

Let us be clear: both of these methods are clearly against the spirit of the Google ranking algorithm, which uses the quality and quantity of inbound links as a substitute for having someone actually look at your site and take a view on its quality and value. Quite apart from the subjective nature of such a judgment, the sheer number of web pages out there would make this an impossible task. So links are - for better or for worse - the easiest prox View the rest of this article


Audit Advice That You Need

Oh no! You need audit advice. You just received in the mail a notification that you are going to be audited by the IRS. What now? How do you respond to this and should you be having a heart attack now?

Before you put it to the side and decide to deal with it later, (it won’t go away by the way) take the time to respond to it.

Grandma?s Herbal Remedies For Infants And Children

Once upon a time, we used to turn to our parents or grandparents when something was wrong with our little ones. More often than not, now we turn to our doctors. Unfortunately, our doctors were never taught what our grandmothers learned from their mothers, methods that have been tried and true for centuries. Here is a not-so-complete list of some of my favorites passed down from my Grandma.
ADD ? Grandma didn?t call it this back then, but that?s probably what it was. Aside from some good discipline, Grandma made sure her kids ate lots of fish to improve brain function and behavior.

How To Set Yourself Apart In The Sea Of Online Marketers

Do you feel odd when you write marketing material to publish online? Do you read over old marketing items and wonder why in the world it says what it does? Do you think, ?I can?t believe I published that!?? Do you hire a copywriter and just accept whatever they come up with? After all, they are professionals!
If your online marketing material stimulates an image in your mind that is just not you, likely you?ve been trying to model your approach after someone else or you?ve been using work produced by someone else without giving them the benefit of knowing you, learning your approach, sharing your ideas and interjecting your personality into the material.

17 Important Points To Consider Before You Hire A Law Marketing Consultant

As we fast approach the new year, many firms are preparing to launch their 2006 marketing efforts. If you're thinking about hiring a marketing specialist, make sure you consider these 17 key points.
1. Objective Advice. Consultants who are paid fees are more likely to give you unbiased advice than consultants who earn commissions based on the amount of money you spend. If the consultant profits from ad agency commissions, he has an inherent conflict of interest because the more you spend, the more he makes.
2. Experience. Marketing is so specialized and complex that I recommend you hire someone who has provided marketing services for a minimum of 15 years. But, don't assume that because the person has been in business 15 years, he has the knowle View the rest of this article


How To Potty Train In Two Days

I honestly can't imagine anything more unseemly than paying someone to teach my child to "go".

From Seller To Buyer: Shipping Details For Ebay Auctions

Shipping details for purchases over eBay is actually a misnomer. eBay is not responsible for the shipping details of an item.
First of all, it should be duly noted that eBay is an online market/transaction facilitator. It merely becomes a means for the buyer and the seller to meet. It is also a regulating body that helps develop fairness of trades among parties.
However, the terms and details of the trade are subject to the agreement of both buying and selling parties.
For most cases, the details of a trade – the payment modes, conditions, and shipping details are specified by the selling party. Taking note of, and understanding such is important to avoiding disputes over shipping details between buyer and seller.

Credit Card Minimum Payments Create Debt

A credit card minimum payment means that you can spend more and pay as little back as the credit card issuer will allow you. Sounds great in theory but it is a system that will turn out to be your worse nightmare. If you stick to it before long you will find that you have reached your limit, have nothing left to spend and all the while your past purchases are totting up interest charges. These sequence of events make your minimum payments so high, that you can only afford to pay back the interest charges and your debt remains the same, with no light at the end of the tunnel as to how you are going to clear it.
This is where the credit card companies have gotten wise and by reducing the minimum payment steadily from 10% on original credit cards to the 2% that most View the rest of this article

What&#39;s So Great About Popup Displays

PopUp Displays are currently the most common form of low priced trade show and event display. A Popup Display is not a trade show "booth" as much as it is a backdrop or background wall for your display area.
A popup display normally has only two main components, with two or three other optional accessories. The most substantial part of a popup display is the folding frame which is normally made of either fibreglass or aluminum tubes. The frame serves as a skeleton that you cover with display panels ? either velcro-ready fabric panels, or graphic panels made of a material like Duralex which are lexan panels that have already been printed, normally using a high resolution large format printing process.

How To Pick Your Website Colors

Before you can consider the finer points of your design, you need to make the big decisions. Few decisions are more important than the color scheme your website is going to use. Pay Attention To Contrast You need to pick colors that provide enough contrast to make your text stand out in order to promote readability. Stay away from using a light colored font on a light color background as it would be very difficult to read. Remember your emphasis is on getting your message read. An unread message is a useless message. Not Too Many Colors You should choose 3 or 4 colors for your site, and use only those colors (or shades of those colors).

Be Smart With Your Credit Card

We all wish that our credit cards were interest free all the time. How much pleasure would it be to know that what you spend is what you pay back and there would be no interest to pay.

Top 2 Ways To Get A Good Deal On A New Hardwood Floor

Be honest, are you one of those people who has more time than money? Me too. When I wanted to put a new hardwood floor in my house I didn’t rush about and just start throwing tens of thousands of dollars at any contractor that offered their services to me. What I needed to do was put in the hours and find out how people go about getting good deals on their new hardwood floor installation.
1) Look for ‘contractor sales’ at places like Home Depot and Lowe’s. This is a great little tip that we’re able to come up with through a little research. The real question is whether these are really ‘contractor’ sales or whether they are closer to ‘extra inventory’ sales which are used to get people into the stores to buy other products. Guess what? Who cares? Discount sales a View the rest of this article

Your Words Are Your Own Product?

If you've never come up with any ebooks or digital products on your own but you've been writing articles and posting in forums, then you're in for a big surprise.
You won't believe that you already have your own digital product in hand.
You'd probably think that your own product has to be an ebook, a piece of software or some sort.
That is normal.
Though you can't actually hold a digital product, the image of a book that appears on a website seems appealing and real enough to imagine that it's a tangible, physical product - when an ebook is really a simple PDF or executable file.
That's why creating an ebook can sometimes be a logical way to own a digital product.
But, you've been missing the point.

Caring For Christmas Trees

Christmas trees are a long time symbol of the Christmas season, but improperly cared for Christmas trees are unlikely to make it through the entire holiday season. Properly cared for fresh cut Christmas trees, on the other hand, can last several weeks.
First and foremost, the key to long-lasting Christmas trees is to give them plenty of water. Many people have developed outlandish concoctions for Christmas trees, ranging from mixing things such as bleach, sugar, syrup, 7-up or vodka in the water. Research has shown, however, that plain water is the best bet for caring for Christmas trees. Furthermore, the water doesn’t have to be distilled or bottled or fancy in any way. Tap water is just fine.

Are Unsecured Debt Consolidation Loans Right For You?

When it comes right down to it, there are very few situations in which bankruptcy has to be the answer. Often times, when it comes to debt issues, unsecured debt consolidation loans are much less damaging answer than bankruptcy. What is important, though, is that you understand what it is about before you dive in and what your alternative debt consolidation options are.
Unsecured debt consolidation loans are personal loans, and as the name implies, they are not secured. What that means is the loan has no collateral or physical items, backing it up. The only collateral is you, the borrower. Because banks then see unsecured debt consolidation loans as risky, they are often a bit expensive and not easy to get. They are also a much better answer than bankruptcy if yo View the rest of this article

Is Your Baby?s Size Normal

All mothers watch their children?s development closely. We get worried if they?re too small, or too big, too short or too tall. But, just like adults, babies come in all shapes and sizes. When you take your baby to the pediatrician for her well baby checkups, they will rank your baby?s size. Here?s some idea of how it will work.
When your baby is weighed and measured, the pediatrician will tell you where your baby?s weight and length rank in terms of a ?percentile?. This simply tells you how your baby compares to other babies of the same age. For example, if your baby?s weight falls into the 80th percentile, it means she weighs more than 80 percent of babies her age. Some people seem to think ranking in a high percentile is a good thing, because it means the baby View the rest of this article


How To Play Five Card Stud Poker

Five Card Stud is similar to Five Card Draw, the difference being that you do not ever get a chance to replace cards in your hand and therefore do not get a chance to improve that hand. As in Seven Card Stud you get a hole card and 4 open cards for all to see. Most versions play the final card as a community card. Since there is no chance to improve your hand, the winning hands tend to be either pairs or high cards and it is hard to string people along to the final street. Some variations on Five Card Stud alleviate this by making the last card a pocket card allowing for some raises.
The Open
The hand starts with the dealer handing each player 2 cards. First cards dealt are a hole card and then the dealer follows up with an open card for each player. Wagering View the rest of this article

How To Lower Your Risk Of Catching Flu (Including Bird Flu)

Influenza is in no way a new ailment to plague the people of the world. However, a new deadly strand of the virus has everyone running for cover. How do you avoid catching flu, including the dangerous bird flu that threatens so many?
First, it should be explained that bird flu, also known as avian influenza, is a virus much like the regular flu we are accustomed to. It is transmitted in much the same way, through droplets of saliva and mucus. However, bird flu is currently only transmitted from infected birds to humans and can not be passed from human to human like the regular flu. The main concern arises with bird flu as it is expected to mutate and at some point be transmitted by humans as well. Until this takes place, bird flu is only passed from infected bird View the rest of this article


Home Audio Recording For Everyone

I'm not really sure how old I was when I got the gift for Christmas, but I remember thinking it was a pretty impressive piece of electronic hardware. It was really cool looking (technologically speaking), and I was awfully proud to own it. It certainly made for lots of fun times.
What was this high-tech gift, you ask? Why, it was a tape recorder! It was a monographic, reel to reel tape deck that came with it?s own plug-in microphone. I could hold that mic up to my transistor radio?s speaker and record songs onto tape. I could also play the guitar and sing and record every second of it. I could even hide and record conversations from unsuspecting family members. I was in recording heaven!
Years later I owned an 8 track stereo recording deck (ok, that was a mis View the rest of this article

Golf Muscles - Timing - Golf Mechanics: The Key To A Powerful Golf Swing

Golf swing power is truly sought after by many golfers short and tall. A powerful golf swing can be easily accomplished if you?re standing 6ft tall over the golf ball. Knowing the right mechanics of the golf swing, along with the right timing is essential. If you take two golfers of the same height, the exact same swing, same golf club and ball, the results in distance would probably be the same. If you take the same scenario and one golfer is approximately 6ft. tall, and the other approximately 5ft. tall, the advantage would be to the taller person. You?re probably saying, no kidding Sherlock. A taller person creates a longer and bigger swing span, which in turn generates more club head speed.

Improving Search Engine Rankings ? Patience Is The Key

I have written before about the benefit of articles and how they provide one way links back to your website and therefore improve the importance of your website and thus its ranking in the search engine results. The articles you write have the chance of spreading slowly around the web and ending up within ezines or on other websites or blogs. All of which provide links back to your website. So once you have over thirty articles out there the links can grow exponentially. Just consider what can happen if you have one hundred articles published? Two hundred articles?

Don&#39;t Let Your Book Promotion Specialist Disappoint You

Subprime Mortgages ? How Large Of A Down Payment Do You Need?

Subprime mortgages offer more flexibility with down payments than conventional home loans. You can choose to put nothing or over 20% down. And with a subprime mortgage, you don?t have to worry about paying private mortgage insurance.

An Introduction To Hockey

Hockey is a sport that is enjoyed by many players and fans. Because it is most frequently played on ice (professionally anyway), it is often referred to as ice hockey, though there are some variations of the game using a roller rink rather than an ice rink making it possible for those who don?t have the benefit of ice rinks to engage in the game for fun. Hockey that isn?t played on the ice is generally referred to as roller hockey.
Ice hockey is played in a 200 foot by 85 foot rink. Lines are painted on the ice to mark various zones. The red line in the center of the rink marks the middle of the ice so the hockey players can tell how far to shoot. Blue lines are used to mark the three zones of the ice ? the defending zone, the attacking zone and the neutral zone. View the rest of this article

Car Loans For People With Bad Credit - Points To Consider

Car loans are a real possibility for people with bad credit and often a huge step in rebuilding one?s credit score. Before you apply for vehicle financing, check your credit report and shop with several lenders. Also, remember that you can refinance for better rates once your credit score has improved.

Comparing Google&#39;s Search Franchise To Mccormick&#39;s Spice Franchise

Google has a competitive advantage. In fact, one might even say it has a franchise in web search. I wouldn?t say that. I mean, Google does have a franchise; but, it doesn?t have a monopoly on web search and never will. There are real problems with Google?s model that are often overlooked. It does a poor job of finding certain sites that are difficult to describe in keywords. For this reason, there may still be a market for web search in the form of specialized niche directories and in some of these ?social search engines? (e.g., Stumble Upon) for many years to come.
I?m not suggesting any of these services will be as successful as Google; I?m sure they won?t be. I am simply pointing out that there is a difference between a need and the means by which that need is View the rest of this article

Why most design firms won&#39;t do spec work

It's common for business owners to make unrealistic requests of design firms. Probably the most common is when they contact several design firms and ask them all to design something for them, whether it's a logo, brochure or some other piece, with the intent that they will choose one of the designs if they like it. While it may seem like there is nothing wrong with this request, in reality, there is. Think about how this request would be taken in any other industry. Potential home buyer: I want you to build me a house and I'm going to have three other builders do the same thing. After these homes are completed, if I like one I'll purchase it.
