		<description><![CDATA[For hundreds of years, the yogi's have been known to know the secrets for health, peace and happiness. In this short, but informative article, I will briefly describe 3 of these secrets with you.Let's get started:  Secret#1: You are not your physical body.The Yogis believe, you know, that the real Man is not his body. They know that the immortal "I" of which each human being is conscious to a greater or lesser degree, is not the body which it merely occupies and uses. They know thatthe body is but as a suit of clothes which the Spirit puts on and off from time to time. They know the body for what it is, and are not deceived into the belief that it is the realMan. But while knowing these things, they also know that the body is the instrument in which, and by which the Spirit manifests and works. They know that the fleshly covering is necessary for Man's manifestation and growth in this particular stage of his development. They know that the body is the Temple of the Spirit. And they, consequently, believe that the care and development of the body is as worthy a task as is the development of some of the higher parts of Man, for with an unhealthy and imperfectly developed physical body, the mind cannot function properly, nor can the instrument be used to the best advantage by its master, the Spirit.  Secret#2: You are not your mind.You need to realize the superiority of the "I" or "real self" over the mind, as well as over the body; the fact that the mind is not the "I" or "real self", but is merely an instrument for the expression of the "I"; the fact that the "I" is master of the mind, as well as of the body; that the "I" is behind all thought; that the "I" can set aside for consideration the sensations, emotions, passions, desires, and the rest of the mental phenomena, and still realize that it, the "I," is apart from these mental manifestations, and remains unchanged, real and fully existent; that the "I" can set aside any and all of its mental tools and instruments, as "not I" or "not real self" things, and still consciously realize that after so setting them aside there remainssomething--itself--the "I" which cannot be set aside or taken from; that the "I" is the master of the mind, and not its slave.  Secret#3: You are "one with everything"To be truly happy and healthy, you need to be aware of "The Oneness of All". You need to bear in mind the Universality of Life. All of the Universe is alive, vibrating and pulsating with life and energy and motion. There is nothing dead in the Universe. Life is everywhere, and always accompanied by intelligence. There is no such thing as a dead, unintelligent Universe. Instead of being atoms of Life floating in a sea of death, we are atoms of Life surrounded by an ocean of Life, pulsating, moving, thinking, living. Every atom of what we call Matter is alive. It has energy or force with it, and is always accompanied by intelligence and life. Look around us as we will; at the animal world;at the plant world;yes, even at the world of minerals and we see life, life, life;all alive and having intelligence. When we are able to bring this conception into the realm of actual consciousness;when we are able not only to intellectually accept this fact, but to even go still further and _feel_ and be conscious of this Universal Life on all sides, then are we well on the road to attaining the Cosmic Consciousness.  There you have it, 3 Yogi's secrets for health and happiness! Start meditating on these 3 universal truth and will begin to see some positive change in life. ========================================================**Attn Ezine Editors / Site Owners**Feel free to reprint this article in its entiretyin your ezine or on your site so long as you leaveall links in place.========================================================. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing more precious than time. Not money, nor
love. Without time, the others don't exist.

Knowing that, how do we spend our time? Do we recognize its
unstoppable passage and make the most of each valuable
moment?

Some do. Most of us, however, do not.

If we were to equate time spent frivolously with money lost,
would we spend it more wisely?

Maybe - maybe not.

When I started my eBusiness in 1998, one of the first things
I did to get traffic was to submit my site to Yahoo! Back
then, Yahoo! listings were free, the directory was much
smaller and getting huge traffic numbers from them was easy.

Pretty soon, my site was generating sales left, right and
center.

So what did I do? Did I follow suit with another hot,
marketable topic? Did I I repeat the process many more times
to take advantage of Yahoo!'s free advertising and lack of
competition? Did I solidify my future as an Internet
marketer by building my nest and lining it with golden
sites?

No, of course not!

I was too busy enjoying the proceeds of my minimal labor -
buying clothes, furniture, property, and a pretty new car. When
I wasn't spending it at home, I was jetting off to exotic
locations.

A couple years went by before it crossed my mind that more
money would be even more fun, and that building another site
or two would be an easy way to get more fun money.

By then however, the Internet had changed. After site Number
Two was built and ready for promotion, Yahoo! had started
charging an annual listing fee of $299 for commercial sites.
Thank goodness mine wasn't adult in nature - those were being
charged $600 per year. Not just a one-time fee, but per
year!

Thankfully, Yahoo! 'grandfathered' all its old listings and
my original listing still keeps sending traffic to my site
for fr*e.

Wow! Didn't that make me want to hit myself upside the head
for being slow to build my business?

Not hard enough, it seems.

Not long afterwards, another of my favorite traffic
generators, Overture, raised its minimum bid from a penny to
a nickel. My existing listings were grandfathered at a
penny, for which I was again grateful. However, again I
chastised myself for not having added thousands more
keywords and phrases that would also now be grandfathered.

I could see the writing on the wall, and cautioned myself to
put the past behind and take advantage of present
opportunities.

Did I take my own advice?

Barely. I added just a few more sites and relevant keywords,
and Overture's mimimum bid was again raised, this time to a
dime.

So I kicked myself, hard.

If Overture's tendency to increase their prices according to
U.S. coin denominations is any indication, their next
mimimum bid may well be a quarter.

So, will I learn from the past, or will my bruises and
missed opportunities continue to mount?

That choice should be easy for any of us.

Learn from history to put time on your side. Start building
your Internet business now to take advantage of today's
lower prices and competition.

Don't put it off until tomorrow, because after all, tomorrow
never comes, and time IS money!. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A style is good only when it suits your facial features. Taking care of your scalp and hair is also a necessary step that you should carefully look after. Cornrows are going to enamor you with the ultimate look they provide as they have an equal appeal for both men and women. To have flawless cornrows, keep these following points in mind: (1) Your hair should be around 10 cm, if it is straight and a minimum 5 cm if it has tight curls. Thus, you will not need to braid it tightly to make it stay. (2) If the professional has examples and sample photos, it would help you to weigh the mastery of the artist in the field. (3) Wrapping your head with a silk scarf or using a satin pillowcase may help in retaining the style for long. It will also protect the hair from getting frizzy. (4) If your hairstylist is not careful enough, the braiding process may cause you enormous pain and further result in hair loss, bumps and infections. (5) You might think that keeping the hair clean is difficult when your hair is styled in cornrows. Use of a water pick dental cleaner, a shower massager or a wide toothcomb helps to clean the hair thoroughly without disturbing the style. (6) Cold air takes away moisture from the air. Dry hair is prone to everyday damage that you can easily keep healthy with a moisturizer. (7) One of the most natural ways to do away with moisture loss is to take 8-10 glasses of water regularly. (8) Using a moisturizing shampoo further helps to retain the moisture balance of hair and keeps it healthy and full of life. (9) Use of protein-rich conditioners is necessary during colds. (10) Use of woolen clothes as head cover during winter may also damage the hair. Use a silk scarf to protect your head from cold and hair damage caused by woolen materials that suffocate your hair. Besides these fundamental rules for managing fabulous cornrows, there are other rules to follow. Sometimes you cannot help using heat on your hair, if so go for a silicon-based product to protect and coat the hair shaft. Trimming the hair every six weeks is necessary to keep the hair in good shape. Thus, combinations of these steps help you to have stylish cornrows.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a White Paper released this week, the International Foundation for Human Rights and Tolerance has found serious breakdowns in the international relief effort for Sri Lankan victims of the devastating December 26th tsunamis.As relief operations were underway, the Foundation sent a Human Rights Fact-Finding team to Sri Lanka. Their objectives included determining whether there was any substance to reports that millions of dollars donated for tsunami relief was not reaching the victims.  The team met with representatives of national and local governments, international relief organizations, non governmental organizations (NGOs), such as UNICEF, Save the Children, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), local charitable groups, schools, refugee camps, orphanages and individuals in Sri Lanka helping with disaster relief. They also visited 28 refugee camps and spoke to many living there, most of them fishermen put out of work by the tsunamis and their families.Team members found that voluntary organizations, local community leaders, non-governmental organizations and, at a local level, some government bodies and representatives of international humanitarian organizations are carrying the burden, but that the enormous sums pledged by the international community are not reaching those who most need them.The White Paper, Destruction and Recovery: A Fact-finding Mission to Sri Lanka, January 22 -- February 11, 2005, reports that "unless action is taken, the goodwill and financial support that flowed freely in the wake of the disaster will be squandered. More importantly, the people who most need help will fail to receive it."During their visit, the team provided food and medical supplies to residents, mandatory uniforms for 127 school children living in three camps from both Trincomalee and Galle, and a boat that will provide enough income to feed two large families.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>In a White Paper released this week, the International Foundation for Human Rights and Tolerance has found serious breakdowns in the international relief effort for Sri Lankan victims of the devastating December 26th tsunamis.As relief operations were underway, the Foundation sent a Human Rights Fact-Finding team to Sri Lanka. Their objectives included determining whether there was any substance to reports that millions of dollars donated for tsunami relief was not reaching the victims.  The team met with representatives of national and local governments, international relief organizations, non governmental organizations (NGOs), such as UNICEF, Save the Children, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), local charitable groups, schools, refugee camps, orphanages and individuals in Sri Lanka helping with disaster relief. They also visited 28 refugee camps and spoke to many living there, most of them fishermen put out of work by the tsunamis and their families.Team members found that voluntary organizations, local community leaders, non-governmental organizations and, at a local level, some government bodies and representatives of international humanitarian organizations are carrying the burden, but that the enormous sums pledged by the international community are not reaching those who most need them.The White Paper, Destruction and Recovery: A Fact-finding Mission to Sri Lanka, January 22 -- February 11, 2005, reports that "unless action is taken, the goodwill and financial support that flowed freely in the wake of the disaster will be squandered. More importantly, the people who most need help will fail to receive it."During their visit, the team provided food and medical supplies to residents, mandatory uniforms for 127 school children living in three camps from both Trincomalee and Galle, and a boat that will provide enough income to feed two large families. </P><P>The Foundation also arranged to cover living expenses, books, clothes and travel expenses for 19 young students who are graduating from school and wish to enter university.

		<description><![CDATA[Are you feeling moody? Irritable? Perhaps arguing with your spouse more than you should? Maybe your disorganized closet is to blame. Oddly enough, studies have shown that disorganization can also lend itself to a, shall we say, less than stellar mood. If you wake up in chaos, you'll tend to feel harried and chaotic most of the day. If you suspect your miles of piles might be the cause of your foul mood, take a minute to consider your surroundings. Step back and survey the space around you.  Do you have stacks of things getting in your way. A stack of magazines you'll probably never read, a stack of week-old newspapers you promised yourself you'd get to? Or maybe you're moods have more to do with the things you can't see, like your closets, pantry and drawers. They key is that if you already feel overwhelmed, opening up a closet crammed with "stuff" isn't going to help your mood, in fact it's going to worsen it. As you begin to go after these areas and get organized, remember that Rome wasn't built in a day and the best organization is done one room, one drawer and one closet at a time. Many times a project like this can take an entire day to accomplish, but if you've got limited time, keep the reminiscing for later ("Look! I found Billy's first pair of baby shoes! I've been looking for them forever!") and set aside a stack of things you need to go through and label or file once you've cleared out the space.If you're not sure of which room to start in here's a hint: Start in the bedroom. If you start and end your day in an organized space it will set the tone for your entire day and at the end of it, you'll sleep better not surrounded by piles of clothes that won't fit into those bulging drawers. It's easy to combat stress and clutter if you start tackling the reasons for your stress and alleviate them. Now you may not be able to organize your way to a better boss or fewer deadlines, but by learning to organize the things you can control, you'll be a step ahead and that much closer to learning to respect your most precious and natural resource: your time.. ]]></description>

Kalamafree, LLC was established on the premise of providing free items to anyone who wants them. The Kalamafree website provides an alternative to your standard auction website by providing all items for free.

To receive an item on  http://www.kalamafree.com, one only pays the preset shipping charge.In less than a month the http://www.kalamafree.com user base has undergone a rapid national expansion.  One such user, David Wan of Palo Alto, explained, "The website is very user friendly, I have been able to get a free DVD, some golf balls, and it is very easy to list items."Instead of discarding clothing, movies, music and other un-used items, people can now recycle those items on  http://www.kalamafree.com.

The ocean, serene and entrancing, is in wide view through sun-twinkling windows. Your d?cor does not know clutter, only supreme beauty which comes from selecting the finest you may attain. Fear and lack do not enter your marble-enshrined domain. Your clothes speak of the golden wisdom of Ancient Greece --- perfect proportions, wealth-attracting colours, knowledge, refinement and self-possession.This is not a fantasy. All of this can be achieved by a study of this culture which has hardly been surpassed for taste. Browse through coffee table books, noting the colours: cream, ivory, 24k gold, touches of classic rose, periwinkle, aquamarine and oyster. Catch the vivacity of shells, sea, pearl luster, marble statues, architectural columns of power and an understatement that arouses your essence. Instinctively you feel the richness. Stretch out to wisdom. Learn from the great ones who achieved more than you would dare. What were their strategies? Why did their drive never cease? Who are the gods and goddess of such a glorious empire? Amongst the pages you will also be alerted to colours and styles. Begin a notebook, compiling a list of the beauty you see.Envelop yourself in the gossamer feel of a designer wardrobe. Touch the expense of a leather handbag and walk in shoes that do make a difference. Beneath it all is lingerie in flesh tones, not displaying an excess of synthetic lace to interfere with sleek garment lines. A superbly fitting bra for goddess contours must be first on the list of your Greece wardrobe. If stockings haven't been part of your daily dressing, a sexy surprise awaits you in European style micro-denier. Magnetize your desires while imaging them in a perfumed spa --- see yourself as the beautiful nude lady, toned and shaped.

		<description><![CDATA[(ContentDesk) July 29. 2005 -- "Back-to-school is an exciting time for both parents and children, however, it can be a stressful time as well," says Patty Grenda, creator of The Family Planner (http://www.thefamilyplanner.com). "As a parent, certified teacher, and business owner, I have learned over the years that proper planning and preparation can alleviate the stress in most situations. It is my hope that the following tips will help families adjust to the upcoming school year and make for a smooth transition."10 Simple Back-to-School Tips:* Practice getting the children up early one week prior to the first day of school.* Pick out school clothes the night before. Involving children in the decision-making will save valuable time in the morning.* Prepare lunches in the evening together as a family. Children love to help out in the kitchen.* Limit caffeine and sugar intake after dinner. Either can have a negative effect on some children and their ability to fall asleep.* Reading with your children before bed is a perfect opportunity to wind down and spend quality time together while enjoying a good book.* Pick a designated spot in the home for doing homework. This "homework spot" should be quiet, well lit, and contain all the basic school supplies.* Have children do homework after school when the lessons are still fresh in their minds. Leaving homework until the evening hours can be counterproductive.* Offer a healthy snack before or during homework since children are most content on a full stomach.* Put completed homework directly into backpack to avoid any missing assignments.* Use a daily planner to keep school functions and extra-curricular activities organized throughout the school year.Patty Grenda, President of G4 Publishing, has been quoted in newspapers and magazines nationwide with her planning and organizational tips.
