| Fall Is More Than Leaves In The Northwest Jan 13th 2012, 12:31 The northwest coast of the United States offers an abundance of trees and wildlife. As fall destinations go it contains a greater variety than most in terms of sights to see and experiences to remember for a lifetime. The Seattle area is perhaps the quickest destination from most places because of its busy international airport. This very crowded travel hub is full of cityscapes but is surrounded by wilderness. A short distance from Mt. Rainier and some of the largest Sequoia trees anywhere, this is truly a unique travel destination. The Olympic National Forest west across Puget Sound from Seattle is a wilderness area of exceptional beauty. September marks the last chance to see the orcas in the open ocean from the tourist cruise ships near Seattle. It may be the last safe time to do extensive hiking on Mt. Rainier but the plains surrounding the slumbering volcano are scenic and accessible year around in the moderate northwest climate. The city of Seattle is abuzz with interesting attractions year around. From the Space Needle to the Seattle Center’s 87 acre facility there is almost too much to see in one vacation. Experience Music Project interactive museum; the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame together with numerous restaurants, theatres and a monorail fill the Seattle Center with excitement. Without a doubt the best view of the area is found from the top of Seattle’s 605 foot tall Space Needle. Weather looking for fall colors or sunset colors over the ocean the 360 degree view is one of the most beautiful in the United States. Dine at the Sky City restaurant for a prolonged view from the Space Needle. The menu is limited but does include Lobster and Salmon. | |

| Drinking Red Wine Could Be Good For Acne Jan 13th 2012, 14:07 As amazing as this may sound to most of us, the active ingredient Resvertrol known to be present in the skins of grapes used in red wines has proven to be the most effective acne treatment according to a study by Oxford University. The study yielded results so astounding that not only has it changed the way that dermatologists are treating acne worldwide it is sure to change the way in which we treat acne going forward. The author examines the Oxford University study, the findings it discovered, and how using Resveratrol proves to treat acne with a double-headed approach that has outperformed the leading acne treatment ingredients. Until recently, most acne creams utilize the active ingredient Benzoyl Peroxide. This chemical based ingredient has been popular over the past two decades, but has proven to be harmful to the skin. The FDA changed their findings about the ingredient, claiming that it has proven to actually cause tumor development in the skin. It also generates free radicals within the skin, so while you may treat your acne, you are left with prematurely aged skin. For this reason, experts have been searching for an ingredient that is capable of producing that same level of results, without the risk. When Reseveratrol was first made popular a few years back with the finding that it help heal heart disease and provide improved heart health, scientists took note of a few of its qualities. The fact that it is an anti oxidant, an anti inflammatory as well as an anti biotic. This means that it soothes irritated skin, protects against premature aging as blocks the growth of bacteria within the skin. It did not take long for scientists to consider this qualities as potentially beneficial in the treatment of acne. But no one expected what was found when Oxford University took the time to really study this ingredient and how if treats acne. Because it blocks the growth of bacteria in the skin it reduces the chances of acne breakouts. Acne is caused by a growth of certain bacteria within the skin. This can be brought on by excess dead skin cells, or toxins and oils, but once the bacteria is present it is tough to remove from the skin. But Resveratrol provides effective treatment to the growth of bacteria and the more Resveratrol that is present within the skin, the lower the count of bacteria present. But Resveratrol does not stop there, it has a whole other side of the treatment of acne that has made it the most complete treatment known to experts. The anti inflammatory nature of the ingredient means that it helps reduce the inflammation caused by the skin’s natural healing process. When the skin realizes the bacteria is present it floods the legion with white blood cells to heal the damage. But this results in the red, inflamed appearance of acne as well as the likelihood of acne scars. By reducing inflammation and soothing the irritation caused by acne, Resveratrol rapidly reduces the visibility of acne breakouts and works to heal the long term tissue damage caused by them. By treating acne with a two pronged approach, Resveratrol has proven itself the most effective treatment of acne in the industry. It provides consumers high level treatment without the risk of tumors and free radicals, and that is what we must demand as consumers. Be sure your next acne cream uses Resveratrol as its active ingredient, the results will astound you. | |

| Pete Best – The Other Beatle Jan 13th 2012, 16:07 Before there was the gospel according to John, Paul, George and Ringo, a guy named Pete Best used to play the drums for the Beatles. In the beginning, it was John, Paul, George and Pete. Randolph Peter Best, or Pete Best, joined the Beatles in 1962. The Beatles, with Best on the drums, went to Hamburg, Germany and made the British flag proud. As Beatles fans know, the Beatles got quite popular in Hamburg first before making it big in Great Britain and then the rest of the world. It was said that Pete Best was the most popular band member among women when they were still playing in Hamburg. When they got back to England, they started auditioning for record deals. They played for several record companies. They had their share of refusals. Finally, the Beatles auditioned for Parlophone, and the record company liked what they heard. The record company gave them a contract and asked them to cut some records. When the record producer, George Martin, heard the songs recorded by the Beatles, he decided to use a session drummer for the recording sessions. He didn’t like the way Pete Best’s drum sounded on the records. George Martin, according to later interviews, said that he only meant to use a session drummer for the recording session. The group could still have Pete Best as their drummer.. On August 16, 1962, Pete Best was fired from the Beatles almost two years from the day he joined the group to play a series of gigs in Germany. Today, Pete Best is still playing music. He has migrated to the US and has a group called The Pete Best Band. The band has several albums and singles under its belt. In concerts, they would often play songs by the Beatles aside from their original ones. | |

| Natural Cure For the Yeast Infection Jan 13th 2012, 16:28 There are many other natural cures for yeast infection and most of them have been proven to be safe and effective. The natural cures for yeast infection have been around since ages and they do not contain any harmful chemical ingredients. Yoghurt is an effective natural ingredient that helps to inhibit the growth of yeast fungus by introducing good bacteria in the system. However, the yoghurt you use needs to be plain unsweetened yoghurt. This can be directly applied to the affected area. Women who suffer from yeast infection can also coat it on a tampon and insert it in their vagina. Garlic is another ingredient which provides a soothing effect and relief from yeast infection. Garlic can both be eaten raw or wrapped in cheesecloth and inserted into the vagina. This helps to kill the yeast fungus and acts as a natural treatment for yeast infection. Another strong natural cure is apple cider vinegar. However, it is recommended that you do not apply it directly to the affected area. You should mix a cup of it in a bucket of water and bathe with this solution. It is important to choose natural apple cider vinegar as white vinegar can actually feed the yeast fungus. Tea tree oil can also be used to get relief. This essential oil can be diluted and applied to the infection and it provides the sufferer with a soothing effect. Diluting the oil is necessary before application as it is a complex compound and should not be used in its natural form. Honey is also used as a natural cure for yeast infection. Honey can be applied to the outside of the vagina to give a soothing effect and relief from the infection. However, it is important to make sure that you do not let honey seep into the vagina as it essentially feeds yeast. Grapefruit is another natural ingredient which helps to kill yeast fungus. These natural cures for yeast infections really help to give you relief and are the proven ways to heal the infection in a safe and effective way. | |

| Tips on Picking Antique and Collectible Books Jan 13th 2012, 16:43 Purchasing “old things with class” is somewhat defined as antiquing, the act of shopping for antiques. When out antiquing, antique and collectible books are among the many things an antique-er is bound to find. With the various books, ranging from fiction to fantasy, antique-ers are sure to find in an antiquing excursion, building up a library made up of antique and books isn’t exactly a bad idea, as antique books stand to have more value compared to “regular” books. Here are some tips in helping you build up your very own antique and collectible books library. A handsome book library is known to stimulate absorbing conversations between guests and host, or hosts, with antique books bearing more “conversation value”. Focus on Your Interests When out looking for books, focus on those which run along your particular interests. Pick the kind of books you are going to read, not just for the sake of reading them, but for the value of reading them, regardless of how outdated the books are. Size up other books with titles which don’t necessarily interest you for potential value, should you actually come across such an item. Consider the Condition Consider the condition of these dated books before going out of your way to actually purchasing them. Incomplete volumes, torn pages, dog eared books and marked or soiled antique books are not exactly the most sought after, unless they are truly great rarities. Ideally, if you find an old book complete with dust cover, it would be a good idea to invest on it. First Editions Know the difference between first editions and other editions of various books. First editions are not exactly the first published copies of a book, rather the first run of the book. Inspecting the book’s date, one would know what edition the book is. If it’s a first edition, it’d be a good deal to purchase it. Landmark Books Books that actually made an impact in its run are oftentimes dumped because of lack of knowledge regarding them. It would be a good idea to brush up on your book-know how-database, as you could be discarding that “The Origin of Species” by Charles Darwin, for some Condensed Reader’s Digest. A big mistake when out looking for collectible books. Benjamin Franklin once said, “Write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.” When one is out antiquing for antique and collectible books, learn to size up titles, as well as keep yourself aware of the what is what in the world of books. Armed with this knowledge, one could easily spot that perfect book worth reading, and worth keeping. | |

| What Causes Acid Reflux? Jan 13th 2012, 19:02 Encountering a bitter taste after savoring that yummy spicy chicken pizza is fairly common. But what if the bitter taste is a persistent thing? And worse, most of the times you often find the food particles back into your mouth every time you burp. Well, then you can be suffering from Gastroesophageal reflux disease or in simple plain English from acid reflux. So what is acid reflux? Acid reflux is a condition wherein the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is not able to withhold the backflow of the stomach acid and other stomach contents into the esophagus. In normal circumstances, the lower esophageal sphincter acts like a valve that prevents the backflow of acidic juices and other contents of the stomach, allowing only the passage of food from the esophagus into the stomach. Whenever, it fails to perform its expected function, the acidic juices slip back into the esophagus. This causes irritation in the esophagus and the condition is then referred to as acid reflux. The other scientific name for acid reflux is Gastroesophageal reflux or GERD. There are many factors that can trigger acid reflux in a person. Diet is one of them. Since acid reflux is an ailment associated with the stomach, whatever that goes into the stomach is bound to create an effect on acid reflux. The fast food fad that is rapidly gaining importance in the urban dietary patterns is one major cause of acid reflux. Not only is fast food low in fiber and nutritional contents, but also is also very oily and spicy. Oily and spicy food can trigger off acid reflux in many cases. Similarly, beverages like soft drinks and juices made from citric fruits such as lime and orange are known to cause acid reflux. Drinks laden with caffeine are known to induce acid reflux. Consumption of alcohol or alcoholic beverages is also considered to be one of the causes of acid reflux. Alcohol is known for relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter’s muscle thus aiding in the escape of acidic juices into the esophagus. Alcohol when taken in large quantities also causes the irritation of the mucous membrane of the esophagus, thus inducing GERD. Similarly, smoking is also closely linked to acid reflux. Smokers produce half the saliva produced by non-smokers. Saliva contains bicarbonate that is known for neutralizing stomach acids. Smoking also relaxes the LES muscles. This increases the chances of getting acid reflux. Being over weight can also trigger off acid reflux. Normally more fat around the stomach region means more pressure around the stomach area, which pushes up the acidic juices into the esophagus and eventually leads to GERD. Pregnancy can also be attributed to causing acid reflux as there is an increase pressure near the abdomen.. Hiatus hernia is another cause of GERD. The diaphragm separates the chest from the stomach. Hiatus is a small hole in the diaphragm. Some times the hiatus weakens and enlarges. This allows the stomach to protrude into the chest. This causes disruption in the normal working of the LES, thus leading to acid reflux. These are the major causes of acid reflux. A little change in the dietary habits and kicking off bad habits can improve the condition of acid reflux. | |
