Laurence Deyton: Teen Smokers Favor Flavored Tobacco 3 Times More
2009-09-23 14:30:00 Damian O'Hara-- Today the FDA fired its first shot across the bows of the tobacco companies by banning all flavored tobacco products with the exception of menthol.Quoting from an 'historic' internal tobacco company memo which plainly states plans to directly target children, Dr. Laurence Deyton of the FDA said that teen smokers are three times more likely than adult smokers to favor flavored tobacco products. I wonder whether they'll ban those disgusting tobacco-flavored cigarettes?!Whether you are smoking TwistaLime, Strawberry, Vanilla, Winter Mocha Mint or Marlboro Light, you can quit easily using Allen Carr's simple, drug-free Easyway method. Oscar-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins quit many years ago using Allen Carr's Easyway method. He became such a fan that he offered to provide a voice-over for the introduction to Allen's first video.He describes the method perfectly: "Being a smoker is like being trapped in a complicated maze.

If you're shopping with your small children
2009-09-19 15:33:00 ...please teach them how to behave in the store. If they're really small and having a meltdown, please for the love of Pete attend to them, or at least act like you're attending to them. Reading a magazine or looking for clothes while little Amber screams her head off is, well, just inconsiderate. One reason I tend to avoid running errands on the weekend are the parents who think that just because they can tune out their crying, upset, hungry, or misbehaving children, the rest of us can, too. Um, no, we can't. And we're not used to little Amber's ear-splitting cries. Keep your children in line, and occupied, please. Here's a novel idea: when you (moms and dads) need...

How to explain 9/11 to children
2009-09-11 14:19:00 I wrote this three years ago for The Trib. Parents prepare for certain questions when their children begin elementary school. My husband and I were no different, role-playing routines for the inevitable “Where do babies come from?” and “Is there really a tooth fairy?” However, nothing prepared me for last week’s inquiry. “Mommy, do you know what happened on September 11th?” My twin sons were eighteen months old on 09.11.01. Only six now, I hadn’t thought about discussing the particular horrors of 9/11 with them. Not yet anyway. When they’re older, I will take out newspaper clippings, magazine articles and even a few documentaries that might help explain the events of that day. For now, my child’s simple question stumped me. As I drove home, no quick or comforting answers came to mind. We pulled into our driveway and I turned around to face them. “Yes, sweetie, I know about September 11th,” I finally said. “Do you?” My youngest son nodded. “Bad men ...

Sitting in one asana (one of the many physical postures, shown in the yoga for better and easy meditation on divine). This went on for years. When he was in his twenty first year (about 1910), he had three successive dream visions in one night. The dream visions had a deep spiritual significance. These visions were there to guide him to his Spiritual guru, Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi.The three spiritual (out of body) dre...

2009-09-02 05:56:00 I was over at Women In Ministry when I stumbled upon advice from John Piper regarding submission and abuse.If you would rather read the transcript please go to Women in Ministry site she has it there.The John Piper's in the world need to know that NOT only are the women of his church being damaged, but his STUPIDITY is also damaging the children! That is going to effect their future generations of the church, and their tithes to keep their doors open and help others.I'm sorry but I have to look at this man's body language first of all. His giggle at the beginning was offensive for one thing. Its not funny, but a very serious issue.When the women of his church that have been abused, and wake up and leave his church?

Parents, Teachers, Talk to your children!
2009-08-19 04:34:00 There is a strong dire need for all parents and teachers to talk to their children about what Ham and his crackhouse does to everyone's minds and how will they brainwash them into following their dogma that will delude them into never telling dinosaur from dragon, shun out historical facts that speak of atrocities committed even by Christians themselves before Darwin has ever learned how to write let alone was ever born, and calling lie, "truth" and truth, "lie." Not saying anything about it will increase their vulnerability towards this kind of dangerous dogma. I refuse to marry and have children because I would be a bad mother, a bad wife, and land in situations I would not like being in if I do choose to do these things. But I feel for families everywhere nonetheless who will have to deal with this kind of thing every time they go to church, every time they watch TV, every time they travel down the road, and every time they surf the web. Punch up words like "dinosaur," "dating ...
