A Humorous Bow Hunting Story

by: Patty Pinkerton

A man and his friend were bow hunting elk in the Colorado mountains near Stoner Colorado. They rode their horse's from early morning until late evening. The high mountain terrain was very rough with tree's blown down and large boulders in the path. Their horse's had to step very carefully or chance breaking a leg.

With no sign of any elk the man told his friend that the elk must have all moved to the lower country. They decided to go down and try again the next day. The next morning the man and his friend decided to hunt closer to the town of Stoner.

They hunted most of the morning with no luck, the sky was clear and it was a beautiful day. As they got closer to the black top highway they saw a herd of cow elk. In the middle of the herd was the biggest bull elk you ever saw.

The hunter got down off of his horse and carefully drew his bow and took careful aim. Before he could release his arrow, his friend alerted him to a funeral procession passing on the highway below their stand.

The hunter slowly let off the pressure on his bow, took off his hat, bowed his head and closed his eyes in prayer. His friend was amazed. "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You are the kindest man I know." The hunter shrugged. "Yeah, well, I was married to her for 25 years."

The Profiles of Some Famous Guitarists

by: Patrick Carpen

Most of us are quite enchanted by the magic of guitar. The mesmerizing tune and sweet tingling of the guitar strings have enamored many a man who has later moved on to become musical legends in their individual niche. There is a roster of famous and successful guitarists who have mastered this enigmatic art of music.

Amongst the many legendary stalwarts, Jimi Hendrix undoubtedly tops the list of profiles of famous guitarists. A genius in its truest sense, the legendary Hendrix was born in 1942. An American by birth, the maestro was a singer and lyricist, and is considered around the globe as one of the most influential and enigmatic personas in the ambit of rock music. One of the milestones in his career was his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival which raised him to instant fame in the United States and was followed by many accolades.

Besides earning a huge name and fame for himself through his forte as a great singer and musician, the legendary maestro also improvised the art of rock music in his own signature way, and he incorporated a number of innovations and techniques into the older forms of rock and jazz music. Quite recently, Hendrix was inducted into the USA's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, and into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005.

The very meaning of rock music becomes insignificant without the mention of B. B. King, the master craftsman in the art of music. An ingenious guitarist and singer-cum-song writer in the American Blues, B.B. King was considered the Third Greatest Guitarist of All Time in the 2003 listing of Rolling Stone magazine.

The legendary musician started his journey in the world of music in 1946, and worked in the local R&B radio channel as a vocalist. However, soon after this he began recording under big names and became a prominent figure among the best musicians in the R&B music scene. Some of his greatest all time hits during this period include, "Whole Lotta Love," "Every Day I Have the Blues," "You Know I Love You," and "Please Accept My Love." Amidst his many achievements as a successful singer and composer, is included his most recent felicitation at the Three Deuces Building in Greenwood, Mississippi, for his maiden in radio broadcasting. Also, a grand memorial in the name of B. B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center is all set to be inaugurated on September 13, 2008, in Indianola, Mississippi.

Robert Johnson is another of the famous names in the world of guitar and its magic. Born on May 8, 1911, as Robert Leroy Johnson, the veteran guitarist was one of the brightest stars in the entire Delta Blues group. The period between 1936 and 1937 saw him in great guns when he claimed and proved his forte as a brilliant guitarist and lyricist, as well as an awesome singer. Often regarded as the "Grandfather of Rock-and-Roll," Robert Johnson is believed to have been a great influence in the world of rock music, inspiring many legends of the same genre, including Bob Dylan, The Allman Brothers Band, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Black Keys, and many others. Eric Clapton, another legend of the same kind, has called Johnson "the most important blues musician who ever lived."

The Use of CD’s and their future?

by: Keith McGregor

CD’s initially started off as music on discs or audio format in the mid-to-late 1980’s. CD-R’s (R means recordable) then became popular when being produced cheaply. CD ROM’s (ROM means Read Only Memory) then shortly followed to provide data discs for computers which can not be written on.

CD-Rs – written to once only. This obviously didn’t help if you had made a mistake in creating your CD and was a waste of a disc, which was expensive back in those days. Unlike a cassette, where you could record over and over (do you know anyone who still owns a cassette these days?). Therefore, the CD-RW (CD-Rewritable) was created which means you could write over the data several times. The discovery of CD duplication and CD copying has also helped to keep the compact disc alive.

CDs today are used in all sorts of industries today. Obviously, the music industry is the main source of most of the discs we have around the house. However, over the past 5 years, CDs have become an essential tool for marketing, selling, promoting, learning, informing and many, many more. Examples are:

# Promotional CDs – marketing companies use them as handy aids to distribute either by post, or to hand them out at conferences

# Music/Audio – Artists use them to record albums and also use as language learning aids.

# Training – You can put a whole training manual onto 1 CD which is far cheaper to produce and much easier to send.

# Software – This is the most used second to music.

These are but just a few uses for CDs.

We all receive CDs in the post as part of product recognition or sales. Newspapers give us freebies with either music or software. CD printing has allowed these forms of marketing to be customized to improve the effectiveness of the overall campaigns. At the moment the demand for CDs is on the increase and looks to remain that way for the next few years anyway. However, just as it’s predecessor, the cassette, the CD may be superseded by the USB stick.

For Romance Without Any Stress, "Sleepless in Seattle" Is the Cure

by: Ed Bagley

If you were celebrating Valentines Day with a candlelight dinner for two at home and settled in to watch a movie, "Sleepless in Seattle" would be a great choice because it provides a pleasant experience and is already becoming a romantic comedy classic.

Your parents or grandparents experienced a similar story line in the now classic "An Affair to Remember" that was released in 1957 and paired Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Their characters fall in love and agree to meet in 6 months at the Empire State Building in New York.

Sleepless in Seattle, released 36 years later in 1993, pairs Tom Hanks as Sam Baldwin and Meg Ryan as Annie Reed. Sam is the recently-widowed father of 8-year-old Jonah Baldwin (Ross Malinger), who calls a nationally-broadcast radio talk show in an attempt to find his lonely father a partner.

A somewhat reluctant Sam talks to host Marcia Fieldstone and thousands of single women across America are suddenly drawn in to Sam's sense of love for his former wife, each wishing she could be as cherished as Sam's next special person. To wit:

Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?

Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together . . .and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home . . . only to no home I'd ever known . . .I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like . . . magic.

If that dialog does not melt every woman's heart she would need to go straight to "The Wizard of Oz" and receive a new transplant. Soon Sam is getting thousands of letters from wannabe partners, all of which are read by his son Jonah, who decides that "Annie" is the best choice.

Annie is engaged to marry Walter (Bill Pullman). Should she do so she would be making the first great mistake of her life. Walter is a decent enough chap, but Annie is missing any sparks in their relationship because Walter has the personality of an ashtray.

Annie goes to great lengths to meet Sam, flying from New York to Seattle only to discover Sam with another woman, whom she mistakes for a love interest. She never mails a letter she has written to Sam, but her friend does. In it she proposes to meet Sam on top of the Empire State Building.

Sam is not interested in going, but his son Jonah is, so, with the help of his new friend whose parents own a travel agency, he is able to book a flight to the Big Apple and ends up on the observation deck of the Empire State Building looking for Annie. Sam, in a panic, to find his son, follows him to New York. The rest you will have to see.

Hanks is very convincing as a forlorn widower and Ryan was at her peak of being cute and innocent. The chemistry between the two, who only share approximately 2 minutes of screen time together, is great.

The role of Annie was originally offered to Julia Roberts but she turned it town. Kim Basinger, who was also offered the part, turned it down because she thought the premise was ridiculous. Just recently in the news, a youngster in Jonah's peer group did exactly what Jonah did, managed to book flight on a major airline and fly undetected. Life is indeed stranger than fiction.

The screenplay for Sleepless in Seattle was written in part by Nora Ephron, who also wrote "When Harry Met Sally" (another great romantic comedy with Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal). Ephron directed the film.

Ephron, David S. Ward and Jeff Arch (who did write the story) were nominated for an Oscar for Best Screenplay, and the film received another nomination for Best Original Song ("A Wink and a Smile"). Sleepless in Seattle also got Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor (Tom Hanks) and Best Actress (Meg Ryan).

Sleepless in Seattle cost $21 million to film and grossed $227 million worldwide at the box office, adding another $65+ million in rentals.

Tom Hanks is the gold standard in acting. He has been nominated for 5 Best Actor Oscars (Big, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away) and won twice for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump". Hanks also has won 4 Best Actor Golden Globes for Big, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump and Cast Away.

His films have grossed more than $3.3 billion. He remains only 1 of 3 actors to have 7 consecutive $100 million domestic blockbusters; the other two are Tom Cruise and Will Smith.

Sleepless in Seattle is viewed by many guys as a "chick flick" but not by me. I consider it an outstanding relationship film with a great story line that proves to be a pleasant viewing experience every time I see it again. If a guy has ever been in love and felt the magic, he will appreciate this film a lot more.

Neil Diamond presents: "Home Before Dark"

By: Melissa Pulsifer

Neil Diamond is one of the most influential singer-songwriters of our time. His music features a fusion of rock, pop, folk and country sounds and is seen as the voice of a generation.

Diamond began his now illustrious career in the early 1960's, as a songwriter. Modern day classics such as I'm a Believer, A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You and Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow), were all written by a young Diamond and all became instant hits. I'm a Believer in particular, became the most popular song of 1966 and allowed Diamond to build a name for himself in the rock community as a songwriter.

After achieving success as a songwriter, Diamond's singing and performing career began to skyrocket as well. To date, Diamond has created over twenty-five albums and released a collection of hit singles. Diamond's biggest hits include Solitary Man, Cherry, Cherry, Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon, Red, Red Wine, I'm a Believer, You Don't Bring me Flowers, Will you Love me Tomorrow and perhaps his biggest hit Sweet Caroline.

By 1984, Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and in 2000, was given the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition, Diamond's hit Sweet Caroline has become a cult classic among sports fans, namely Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox, which dubbed it the official theme song for "Red Sox Nation". Neil Diamond classics, such as "Sweet Caroline" and "Solitary Man" have also been covered and performed live over the years by a spectrum of legendary musicians, ranging from Johnny Cash to Elvis Presley.

In early May 2008, Neil Diamond released Home Before Dark. Home Before Dark is Diamond's twenty ninth studio album and unlike many of his past releases, focuses on a more pure representation of rock music. It combines mainly acoustic guitar melodies with emotionally heavy lyrics and presents a familiar Neil Diamond, in a new light. To celebrate the album's release, Diamond has announced plans to kick off a massive concert tour. The "Neil Diamond Solo Acoustic Tour" will feature the musician performing all of his greatest hits, as well as selected tracks from the new album. The concert series will last from late May to late September of 2008 and will hit various venues in Europe and North America.

Bankruptcy: a concise guide

Benedict Rohan

Bankruptcy is one method of getting out of debt. It is a court order that transfers responsibility for dealing with creditors to the Official Receiver, who also takes control of the debtor�s money and assets and distributes them fairly to all their creditors. Once all debts have been paid or written off or an agreement reached, the individual is able to make a fresh financial start.
A bankruptcy order is granted by the court when it receives a petition (application) from either the debtor or one or more of their creditors if the amount owed is more than �750 in unsecured debt.

Bankruptcy has its advantages and disadvantages although it�s an extreme measure and should be considered very carefully. Just because you�re in a lot of debt, it doesn�t mean that bankruptcy is your only option. You�ll need to speak to a financial expert who�ll advise on the best course of action for you. Some useful sources of help are the Citizen�s Advice Bureau, the government Insolvency Service, the National Debtline or the Consumer Credit Counselling Service.

Advantages of bankruptcy:

your creditors will be dealt with by the receiver

court action against you to recover money may be stopped

your debts may be written off

you�ll be allowed to keep a certain amount of money and household items to give you a reasonable standard of living

you�ll be able to make a fresh start when the bankruptcy order has been cancelled

Disadvantages of bankruptcy:

you may have to pay a court fee of up to �475 for the bankruptcy order

not all debts can be written off � e.g. court fines

your details will be entered onto a public register of bankrupt individuals so other people will find out about it

you won�t be able to apply for any more credit while the bankruptcy order is in force

you may lose your home or any luxury possessions that you own if they have to be sold to repay your debts

if you own a business, it may be closed down and the assets sold

you could lose your job depending on your employer and what profession you work in � some don�t allow individuals who become bankrupt to continue working

you may be subject to a bankruptcy restriction order, which can make it very difficult to take out credit or other financial products

homeowner loans in the future � this might happen if you have been reckless with your finances or have been dishonest or uncooperative with the Official Receiver

Petitioning for bankruptcy:

Bankruptcy orders are arranged by your local court. You�ll need to fill out a couple of forms � a petition and a state of affairs, which can be obtained from your local court or from the government�s Insolvency Service website (www.insolvency.gov.uk). You�ll need to list all your debtors and all your assets � from bank accounts to valuable possessions. It�s a criminal offence to make a false statement on these forms, so you must be truthful. It�s also illegal to sell any items before the bankruptcy order or to hide any goods that you own.

The court will review your case and will only grant you a bankruptcy order if it feels that you have no other means of solving your debt problems. Once the order is in place, your accounts and assets will be frozen and the Official Receiver will investigate your finances. First they will interview you. Then they�ll give notice of your bankruptcy order to various bodies, such as your local authority, sheriff court, land registry, utility companies, banks, insurance companies, landlords and solicitors, in order to determine what debts you owe and what assets you have. Once the Official Receiver has compiled a comprehensive report on your finances, a copy will be sent to all your creditors and your assets divided equally among them.
You�ll normally be discharged from your bankruptcy order within a year, by which time your debts will either have been paid back or written off.

Alternatives to bankruptcy:

If your debts haven�t gone too far down the line, it may be possible to come to an informal arrangement with your creditors that will allow you to repay your debt in a manageable way. You can try to negotiate a repayment plan in which you make your repayments in affordable regular instalments. It may cost you more in interest in the long term, but it could be a more viable option than bankruptcy.

If this doesn�t work, a formal, legally binding arrangement called an Individual Voluntary Arrangement may be able to be set up with your creditor. You�ll need the services of an insolvency practitioner to arrange this.
Alternatively, insolvency practitioners also offer debt management plans, in which they take on management of your debts for a fee.

If one or more creditors has obtained a county court judgement against you and the total owed is less than �5,000, you may be able to apply for an administration order at your local court, under which your repayments to your creditor are made via the court, which takes a portion of the repayment for administering the repayments.

Does Consumption Of Herb Astragalus Root Really Affect Your Breast Size?

Julie Walker

Breast enlargement supplement usually contain herbs (like Astragalus Root), with natural estrogenic properties from plant sources (phyto-estrogens) that work by regulating hormones and promote healthy tissue growth.

Breast development begins at puberty, when a young woman's body receives chemical signals from the pituitary gland. These signals orchestrate powerful changes. Most of the times, due to hormonal imbalance, her body has a lower than normal production of estrogens thus depriving her of the figure she rightfully deserved. With phytoestrogens that mimics the estrogen activities, hopefully it will stimulate the breasts to develop into its full potential.

One of most commonly used herb in breast enhancement supplements is Astragalus Root. The Astragalus plants are from the northern and eastern regions of China. It generally grows to a height of 16-18 inches and its leaves can be found in pairs. The dried root of this plant is used in medicinal applications.

Astragalus root has been used to promote immune function and as a tonic to build stamina. Research shows that Astragalus root stimulates the immune system in many ways like increasing the number of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and encouragin

However, intake of Astragalus Root alone may not be that effective, unless it is combined synergistically with other similar herbs that contain phytoestrogens. And not all phytoestrogens give the same effectiveness to affect your breast size.

So, where can one find the herb that gives the best phytoestrogens? Or does it exist in the first place?

Studies have shown that Pueraria Mirifica as one of the best phytoestrogen you can find. What makes Pueraria Mirifica the best Phytoestrogen? How is it different from Astragalus Root?

Pueraria mirifica is an indigenous herb of Thailand, known in Thai as "Kwao Kreu" or "Kwao Kreu Kao" (White Kwao Kreu). It belongs to the Family Leguminosae,subfamily Papilionoideae or the soy, bean & pea subfamily. The tuber enable to enlarge and accumulate at least 13 known chemicals classified as PHYTOESTROGENS and comprised of ; miroestrol, daidzein, genistin, genistein, B-sitosterol, stigmasterol, coumestrol, pueraria, compesterol, mirificoumestan, kwakhurin and mirificin. Miroestrol and Deoxymiroestrol can only be found in Pueraria Mirifica!

"Miroestrol and Deoxymiroestrol " is very different from other phytoestrogens found in other plants such as Astragalus Root. It posses highest estrogenic activity among the known phytoestrogens due to structural similarity to Estradial. Estradiol is the main human estrogen which can be found in all women who are at the stage of nursing baby (Lactating); as you may notice that all women who are in this stage, their breast will enlarge and gain firmness for feeding purpose. This is the main reason why Pueraria Mirifica is unique from other breast enhancement herbs such as Astragalus Root.

According to Thai traditional medicine, this "rejuvenating" herb is recommended for both aged men and women for its efficacy to grow hair, strengthen and darken existing ones, help improve complexion and remove wrinkles, improve eyesight, increase energy and vigor leading to more reflexive body movements.

The above information on the Astragalus Root, and Pueraria Mirifica is found in Ms Yvonne Lee, internationally acclaimed book "To All Women Who Want To Enhance Their Breasts Naturally, But Don't Know How To Start". It describes and details the most important breast enhancement techniques from every corner of the world. Author Yvonne Lee, provides an unbiased pro-and-con analysis of each technique, in addition to practical information such as how and where to get it, cost, and potential impact on insurance coverage.

Peri-Areola Breast Lift Surgery, Is It Suitable For You?

Julie Walker

Before deciding to undergo any breast surgery, it is important to have a clear knowledge on what is to be done, the benefits, the possible risks and after effects. It is best to seek several consultations with different surgeons as different surgeons might be using different techniques, have different opinions, and will have different aesthetic preferences.

Let's look at Benelli Mastopexy (Peri-Areola breast lift) breast enhancement surgery.

Peri-Areola breast lift is one of the several techniques for breast lift whereby the scars are designed around the areola. It is useful for women with a projecting nipple/areola complex (sometimes called torpedo or missile shaped breasts), and can also be used to reduce the size of the areola at the same time.

To be suitable for Benelli Mastopexy, the patient must be in good health, and not have any active diseases or pre-existing medical conditions.

Due to the natural stretching and sagging of the breast skin after pregnancy, it is highly recommend that the patient waits until she no longer wants to have any additional children before having the surgery.

A patient can be more satisfied with the results of the surgery if there is sufficient communication between the surgeon and the patient. It is critical to be able to voice your desires to your surgeon, so that he/she will be able to better understand your needs and create a better result that you desire.

This technique removes a donut shaped piece of tissue around the areola during the surgery, and scars are normally found around the areola. Surrounding tissues of the breasts are normally stitched to the areola. The results after the surgery will be a flatter, rounder breast. Sometimes, to compensate for the lifting effect when the breast tissues are stitched, a little more tissue is being removed above the areola.

Although there are great benefits with Benelli Mastopexy, the customers also need to understand the different risk associated with it. The risks includes the breast being asymmetry as there are no definite promises during a surgery; hyper - pigmentation could form due to bruising; hematoma and seroma could occur, which led to another/other surgeries needed for rectifying of problems. There will be an altered sensation of the nipple/areola, which are found to be temporary. In rare cases, there will be loss of blood supply to the nipple or skin sections that were reattached. Thus, needing reconstruction.

A number of online web site functions commercially, this make it possible for them not to disclose all information about the complications and risks of breast surgery. It is important to collate information from different sources as it could aid in your final decision-making.

You may want to consider and try natural breast enhancement before spending money and risks the implication going for breast enhancement surgeries.

Should you buy a desktop PC or laptop?

You really have no choice except of a notebook computer if your job or lifestyle needs plenty of travel every year. Your own notebook computer will help you a lot when you are out of your home or office.

Now-a-days, you can get laptops as powerful as desktop PCs. Laptops are available with high-resolution graphics, CD/DVD recording, large hard drives and even with more features.

However, if you're sitting on the fence and portability is not required as much, go on buying desktop computer with considering the following reasons:

Desktops are more expendable than laptops: - Desktop computers are quite plain easier to expand and upgrade (using USB and FireWire ports), especially the processor and your graphic card, though you can hang plenty of peripherals off a modern laptop.

Desktops are cheaper than laptops: - Desktop computer is even cheaper than a notebook, so if you don�t need it why you are paying so much. Jump to the desktop side of the fence which costs less and suitable for you.

Laptops repairing cost is much more than desktops: - For example, if your sound card fails with any reason you can easily replace it with any inexpensive adapter card. However, when your laptop creates such problem of sound hardware, you must pull out your wallet because you will not be able to fix it yourself, and the whole motherboard inside the unit will must be replaced.

Here we also figure out how to buy these once you made the decision?

Processor: - if you intend that you will use your machine for standard office tasks and internet browsing, does not matter it will do any processor. But if you are a heavy gamer or you need much more power the Intel Core 2 Duo chip is the better one then.

Memory: - As much memory your PC has installed, you would be able to run as much application at once. Upgrading memory in a desktop after you buy the PC is a snap, but actually its good to buy the amount of memory you like preinstalled with the machine.

Motherboards: - A new motherboard would deliver you smooth new technologies that you are missing right now. It would be faster, would be has Second-generation SATA connections, high-definition audio and even a Dual-card graphic. You should keep in mind to check either the motherboard you are buying has two or one USB ports in fronts or not, because of to plug in your USB memory drive and digital audio player etc.

Graphics: - Before going for shopping make sure what kind of Card will work suite in your PC. If you are a serious gamer and can pay as much go on dual-graphics-card. There are two types of cards, the one is removable from the board and the other is permanently soldered on the board. However we would recommend a discrete graphics board for gaming and an integrated graphics for other use.

Sound Card: - for office use you should buy an integrated sound card for your PC, but if you want to use the PC in your home then a dedicated sound card would be the better choice.

Hard Drive: - Its totally depends on you, if you plan on large amount of data, such digital images or multimedia files on your pc, Large capacity hard drive, opportunity to save more data. For normal use simply buy 40 or 80 GB that most of business users use these days.
