How to Use Table Cloths to Complement a Party’s Theme
May 17, 2009 on 10:43 am | In Uncategorized | Comments OffOne of the most essential decorating items you need, regardless of the occasion you are preparing for, is table cloths. Whether a casual back yard barbeque or the most formal wedding, they impact the feel of the event. It is easy to forever have the ideal table cloth for any event because they come in a variety of prints and colors.
Celebrate each holiday with printed table cloths. They make an essential decoration. Ring in the New Year properly with an Arabesque print table cloth. A table cloth with a Flag or Stars N’ Stripes print can be used on July 4th in an attempt to show just how patriotic you are. As Halloween nears, select a Boo or Spider Web printed table cloth. Serve up your Thanksgiving gobbler on a table cloth like Fall Festival. Use napkins and an apron made from a print like Falling Leaves. Eventually, round out the year with a Jingle table cloth, Evergreen napkins, Season’s Greetings place mats or even a Snow Flurry print Christmas tree skirt. Don’t settle for the same cloth year after year. With so many unique selections to choose from, you can modify your style whenever you need to. If you put thought into both the holiday and the appearance of your home then show this to your family and guests by using table cloths.
Throwing a theme party? Table cloths come in a variety of prints making it easy to match every theme you have. Prints like Newport or Anchors Aweigh are great to use for a party with a maritime theme while Toucan, Key Largo or South Pacific can be used for a luau. Liven up your weekly poker game with a Casino print table cloth or a monthly garden club gathering using a Birds and Butterflies table cloth. Once you’ve chosen to use a theme print for the table cloth itself then consider co-ordinating with colorful linen table napkins or place mats and your tables are certain to be something to talk about. Setting a beautiful table shows your guests that you actually care that they are there.
Planning more of a “one time only” event such as a graduation, prom or wedding? Consider renting linens to make the party still more terrific. For a more traditional approach, choose 100% spun or woven polyester linens that coordinate with school colors or the color scheme of the wedding. Plan your event with a more contemporary feeling by renting table cloths in Polka Dot, Lace, Awning Stripe or Sheer Stripe. Only don’t stop there. Complete your party’s look by renting napkins, placemats, table skirts or even chair coverings. The use of table cloths and table linens will make you look like the most prepared host or hostess because no detail was overlooked.

Healing With Lemurian Seed Crystals, Part IV
May 10, 2009 on 1:30 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffSo far the results have been remarkable. I believe this is in part because clients are encouraged to engage more actively through visualizing a colored light (as indicated through muscle testing).
Research shows that clients who are involved in their own recovery and healing are much more likely to have a successful outcome to treatment.
Clients have reported a variety of sensations and phenomena when the Lemurian Seed Crystals are incorporated into their treatment, along with visualizing certain colored lights as indicated. Such phenomena include strong rushes of heat and cold, prickly sensations, streaming of energy up and down their body or a body part, body shaking and tremors, latent memories surfacing, feeling deeply peaceful, strong sense of internal resistance, feeling weightless, releasing trapped emotions like anger, worry, fear, grief and sadness.
I have been experimenting with charging PurePlant Essentials Aromatherapy products with the energy of the Lemurian Seed Crystals. The affinity between the two is remarkable!
The oils are easily imprinted with the crystalline structure of the Lemurian Seed Crystals. This imprinting of the crystal’s energetic template seems to have a stabilizing effect on the essential oils.
For instance I’ve noticed oils that have been charged by the Lemurian Seed Crystals are less volatile when exposed to the air. Meaning their scent doesn’t quickly evaporate, but rather lingers.
I believe this indicates that the intention of the Crystal to entrain whatever it comes into contact with is acting upon the essential oils to stablize them, making them less volatile.
Crystals are known to have the highest and most refined organizational structure in the mineral kingdom. Their structural organization is exceptionally stable. Through their contact they are able to entrain the essential oils to carry this stable quality.
I will continue my empirical research to see if I notice a consistent increase in the “effects” of essential oils that have been charged with the Lemurian Seed Crystals, as well as evidence for their having less volatility.
In Part V of Healing with Lemurian Seed Crystals I will talk more about the legend of the Lemurian Seed Crystals, as well as discuss more of my empirical findings when using them in practice.

Early Trials Lead to Breakthroughs for Psoriasis Treatment
May 10, 2009 on 10:23 am | In Uncategorized | Comments OffTherapeutic Use Of Jojoba
Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax that is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba bush. Originally a native of the Sonoran Desert of South West USA and Mexico, its long traditions in Native American uses led to the development of commercial plantations in Israel, the USA, Australia and Argentina.
Dr Mosovich said in his paper: “About 40 volunteers, in our laboratories, tried using jojoba wax for chapped hands and against sunburn with very good response, and no allergenic reaction. We started our studies on the assumption that jojoba wax could ease certain skin diseases.”
He also indicated that: “The known lack of toxicity for human beings induced us to test jojoba oil in two groups of volunteers affected with dermatological processes of high cosmetic and esthetic significance. The first group consisted of 35 patients affected with acne vulgaris. Their condition was ‘”cystic’ or ‘purulent’ and seemed to be most resistant to customary treatments.”
He noted that “Patients willingly returned as they felt that the facial treatments were useful.”
“A second group of 27 patients suffered from psoriasis vulgaris. This condition is characterised by excessive scaling (turn over) and is very resistant to conventional therapeutics. The keratoplastic and keratolytic action of jojoba oil suggested that it might be used as additional treatment. The use of steroids in the treatment of this condition is expensive, cumbersome, and may have secondary effects. Jojoba oil may be recommended in certain cases of psoriasis, such as those affecting the scalp.”
Treatment of Psoriasis vulgaris
Under this heading, Dr Mosovich’s paper outlined:
“The experience obtained during studies of acne patients, as earlier reported, showed positive keratoplastic and also slight keratolytic effects, ease and convenience of use, and no side effects. These induced us to study the effect of this ointment for treatment of patients suffering from Psoriasis vulgaris. This illness is frustrating for the physician and the patient, is most unaesthetic and is incurable. The treatment which seems to help one patient has no effect on another, and for this reason it is called “heartbreak disease.”
“The psoriasis histological phenomenon consists of parakeratosis, which could affect several areas of the body. The condition follows an irregular cyclic pattern – improvements followed by declines. The treatment usually used should help to peel the hard scales. Of the medicines used today, some are very expensive and include hormones, such as fluocinonide; the others are classical medicines such as mineral oil or coal tar derivatives, some of which are very greasy, black and, thus, unpleasant for daily use.”
“The patients treated: a group of 27 volunteer patients aged 12 to 60 were treated, eighteen of them for psoriasis of the scalp, as other medications used for this illness are not very effective. The illness causes hard itching, open sores and hair clumping.”
“Ointment specifications: the lipidic water immiscible ointment contains refined jojoba wax esters in cis and trans forms.”
“Method of treatment: The ointment was massaged lightly on the scalp, twice a day, with no immediate hair wash. The patient returns for first control after one week, and for subsequent checks once a month.”
“Results: light spreading of the ointment on the scalp or the effected area permits the removal of dandruff or scales, separates the hairs from each other and causes softening of the skin. The area remains erithematosous. However in several of the cases the scales reappear after a time. There are no adverse effects on the skin. In all cases we could positively say that the treatment helped, at least initially, which is not always the case with other classical treatments. (Fig 5 shows marked improvement on the same psoriasis of the elbows case after the first treatment). The patients begin to use the jojoba ointment willingly as it has no bad odour, and is not greasy; treatment can be carried out during the daytime.”
“It seems, therefore, that jojoba ointment could be a good medication for psoriasis in addition to other recognised medications against the disease.”
Potential for Relief
These findings by Dr Mosovich and his team more than two decades ago ignited a feeling that jojoba could and should be developed into a beneficial product for psoriasis relief.
In those early days we, at Premium, were involved in this nascent industry. Having established commercial jojoba plantations in Australia, we developed natural refining processes that delivered a 100% pure super fine jojoba moisturiser product, now called LANNI Ultimate Moisturiser.
We commissioned a University in Sydney to undertake further research into the qualities of the product in order to further understand its applications and potential benefits to the human skin. The university identified a remarkable quirk of nature… the molecular structure of the product has an amazing similarity to “sebum wax” – the skin’s own lubricant.
It is also extremely stable to oxidation and therefore addition of anti-oxidants is not required. It does not need any preservatives, additives or perfumes, which can often cause allergies or skin irritation and it is refined to anti bacterial standards.
From reading literature on psoriasis, I understood the importance of lubricating the skin in order to minimise dryness, scaling and itchiness. I made it my quest to research potential treatments and cures and to bring awareness and relief to psoriasis sufferers.
Used by Psoriasis Sufferers.
A growing number of people with various irritated skin conditions (ranging from light to extreme) are now reporting that regular application of Lanni Ultimate Moisturiser is bringing considerable relief when many other treatments have brought only frustrating disappointments.

Toys that Teach
May 8, 2009 on 5:24 am | In Uncategorized | Comments OffChildren are constantly learning about the world. Educational toys can teach about a subject that can help them develop skills. A toy is used to teach children while simultaneously entertaining them. Toy blocks have been used to teach children important skills such as building a house, a tower, or even counting them. Soft clay is perfect; it develops the child’s power of imagination.
Building self-confidence by playing that encourages a child to assert himself, toys such as musical instruments and fancy clothes encourage them to stay attracted. In future, it results in making children direct their own games and be in-charge and become more self-sufficient. This helps a child to build skills like problem solving, taking charge of a situation, and show leadership qualities.
Responsibility is one of the major skills that develops when a child is provided with a toy such as a construction set that must be assembled by the child, he will take it as a personal responsibility of making sure the toy is put together creatively if not correctly. This will train him to take a sense of the responsibility in any future jobs he will do. And, when a child takes care of a doll or a pet, he develops a sense of personal responsibility for feeding it or taking care of it.
The educational benefit of toys for child development should never be underestimated. The childhood is to make discoveries and continue into its adulthood. Children learn from their surroundings from playing with toys and continue to pick up hobbies late into their adult life.

Article Writers: Traveling This Summer? Here’s What to Shoot – Part 1
May 6, 2009 on 8:30 am | In Uncategorized | Comments OffAs a versatile article writer, an essential for any trip are your cameras. Whether you plan to shoot digital, slide or print images, one question that likely pops up is, “What should I shoot?” If you’re on assignment the answer is easy. If you’re working on spec though, choices can be a bit more extensive. On the other hand, with some insight and planning, your photo options can be far greater. So essentially, you’re going to go for the new, unique and different that will surround you. Here are some suggested approach ideas.
Fashions
What are the locals wearing? What do you recommend visitors bring or wear?
Pay attention to men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. Don’t forget shoes and accessories. Are there specialty clothing items or accessories manufactured or worn locally? Intrigued by the dress code of Embera Indian women when they “came to town” on South America’s Pacific coast, I asked locals about their colorful wear. The photos, interviews and stories I got access to fuel numerous articles and short pieces for me to this day.
People and Occupations
Are the locals noticeably different from people where you are from? Shoot them (using your camera). How do people get around? On foot, bikes, specialty vehicles? Catch vendors, artisans and tradesmen at work in their own surroundings. Be sure to ask permission first. If there are any occupations that are unusual or off-the-beaten track, get a variety of shots of them. Look for common jobs done in different or unique ways. Street hucksters can provide colorful photo opportunities as well as offer a slice of local ambience.
Everyday Life
How do people live in the locale? Get shots of people going about their daily lives.
Stop and linger awhile at local playgrounds, parks and watering holes. Ask waiters and bartenders about the most popular brews, mixes and concoctions. Be sure to try a few yourself for a “first-hand” account.
About People Pictures
Want really good people shots? Ask. Just smile and say, “Can I take a picture?” If you don’t speak the local language, smile and point to your camera. They’ll get it and smile back or nod permission. Ninety eight of the last 100 people I’ve asked to let me take their photo said, “Yes”. The two who didn’t? A military officer scolded me for taking a shot of a soldier walking on patrol along a picturesque Pacific coast beach. I showed him the digital frame noting that you couldn’t really tell it was a soldier and he relented. The other was an elderly Embera Indian man who was husking rice in his Colombian jungle village using a waist-high mortar and pestle. He wanted me to agree to give him some “gifts” in exchange for the shots. I didn’t, he wouldn’t.
Work two or three location slants
When you have two or three topic areas in mind, your eye will focus and photo ops will pop up all around you. The process can even begin before your trip and often continues during and after the time you are on location.
Keep a spiral-bound notepad and pens on you at all times to note essentials like subject names, new vocabulary, unusual spellings, and telephone numbers. Jot down brief explanations of who, what, when, where, why and how to help jog your memory and correctly caption photos. Bear in mind that many editors require identification of subjects in photos.
So enjoy your trip this summer, take notes as needed and shoot away. Once you leave the location, the photo ops are gone. My motto is, “When in doubt, take the shot.” It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Take that shot. Later, you might just be glad you did.
Want more ideas? See you in part 2 of this series …

The Games of Luck Betting Devotees Enjoy Engaging in: Casino Taking Risks
May 4, 2009 on 5:16 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffOn the assumption that you don’t understand gaming hall risks and options, read on…
Most commonly a gambling house is an edifice that focuses on friendly gambling. Guests will game by operating the one-armed-bandits or trying out alternate games. Betting room games may have mathematically derived percentages governing them that promise the company possesses its edge versus the betting enthusiasts.
A lot of gaming establishment games can make you end up habituated in no time. Let’s scrutinize the stereotypical one armed bandit, a coin operated machine with 3+ discs that pivot when a crank affixed to it is wrenched. The contraption normally returns in accordance with a distribution of glyphs observable on the information screen of the instrument. Regretfully, casino games furnish a false impression of control, thereby deluding the gambling devotee — the punter is ceded judgments, but in actual fact these don’t truly nix the player’s long-term disadvantage. That is caused by the the gaming room never paying the full wager as expected. This practice is regularly found in famous casino games such as poker, craps, roulette or blackjack.
Seven card stud is really an immensely fashionable casino game. The gaming devotees, jealously guarding their either fully or partially guarded hands, bet into a pot in the center which is finally given to the winning player endowed with leading set of cards. (Obviously, the shameless bluffer may win)
Quite like straight poker, blackjack too is an immensely fashionable casino game. An amount of its reputation is caused by its particular mix of chance and cunning & decision making, not to forget a practise titled “counting”. It is a very complex strategy in which gambling buffs will actually reverse the winning odds of the game to establish the upper hand by both betting & fundamental opetations based on the cards deployed.
“Craps” is a well known gambling hall pastime where players can wager on the roll of 2 dice. Gamblers make bets on the end result of 1 roll, or on a succession of cycles of two dice. Dissimilar to blackjack, there can’t be a practicable long term winning tactics people could apply to ramp up the chances.
Roulette is another well-known casino game – a croupier will revolve a roulette wheel that holds a set of thirtyseven (as applicable to French roulette) or thirty-eight (applies to American or Vegas roulette) uniquely numbered receptacles in which the ball will come to a stop, revealing the final winning number as well as its related combinations. Assuming that the participant happens to place chips on any given number which actually hits it big meaning they’ve got a lucky hand, the set reward will be thirty-five to one, the initial bet proper will be paid out. Hence in totality it’s multiplied by a factor of 36.
