One thing I really remember from my childhood is lightning bugs. On a cable tv-nature show I was watching recently, they were on the subject of bioluminescent creatures in the depths of the ocean. As a sidenote they touched on the "firefly" and it's mechanisms for creating it's light. That got me to thinking. Just when was the last time I've seen even one lightning bug? Some people call them fireflies, but I have never heard them referred to as that. When I was growing up they were always just "lightning bugs." I can remember vividly running through an open field on summer nights in the in the mid sixties. Running a zig zag pattern and swatting the bugs to the ground if they were unfortunate enough to light up in front of me. There were so many in the air at that time that it was not uncommon to swat down five or more in less than fifty yards. They were then collected in a jar, and eventually ground down to a fine biolumenescent paste. Perfect for rubbing on younger siblings! Ah, the good old days.
These days, however, with the Google right in front of us, I couldn't help but look up some things about the old lightning bug. I found the reason that they are flashing is that they are looking for mates or prey. The females sit on nearby vegetation and wait for males to "flash" them. If they are ready to mate they will respond to a male by "flashing" right back. Then a dance of sorts take place with their light bursts becoming shorter in duration and closer together. As this plays out the male is also getting closer and closer to the female, and if it goes his way, bingo. Well that sounds a lot like what the creatures are doing in the dark depths. Albeit, not nearly as elaborate as some of them.
The lightning bug produces it's light chemically from it's abdomen. Across North America the light can range in color between green, yellow, or pale red. ( I have only seen them in green myself.) They thrive in wet wooded or marshy areas where their glowing larvae have plenty to eat. Most of the areas that I used to see them in are not nearly as wooded as they used to be.
So, do you remember lightning bugs? Are there any places around Lafayette where they can still be found? Would love to hear from anybody and everybody on this subject.
Tomorrow, we look at the 600 block of Jefferson Street, as it was in 1959. A lot has changed since then.

I am very dissapointed in the way Vermilion and Lafayette Parish residents are so pissed the President-elect Barack Obama has won. I now know certain people's true charcter. Black people have voted for white presidents since black men were allowed to vote. I guess people down here are still very slow, uneducated, ignorant and obviously racist. I hope these people took a good look at who put Barack Obama in the oval office,all true Americans did, not racist ones. That is why you'll LOST! You'll were way to worried about him being a terriost, anti-american who didn't say the pledge and who will be sworn in on the Karan. Obama and his camp were more worried about the economy and how he can make this America the way it use to be. If he was a white man no one would have every question his patriotism, but because he is black, Omg, his is everything negative anyone could think of. Shame on you. It time to get over, because like it or not a black man, with his black wife, and their black children will be in the white house and your leader for the next 8 years. Please always remember what your mama taught you God does not like ugly and their is nothing uglier than HATE! Thank you to all true Americans who went out and supported our President-elect Barack Obama

Here are some ideas to save money on teen car insurance.
Keep a Clean Driving Record — Just one DWI conviction can raise teen car insurance premiums from a base premium of a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars annually for at least three years.
Earn Brownie Points — Many companies offer teen car insurance discounts to teens that attend high school or college full-time and maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average. Insurance agents also offer discounts to those taking a locally accredited driver safety course or other state-certified programs. (Ask your agent about these discounts, or get online information from the National Safety Council.)
Involve Yourself in Your Community — Young people who join certain civic or community organizations such as Eagle Scouts or Girl Scouts may receive discounts from their teen car insurance providers, says David Champion of Consumer Reports. These companies are trying to find the least risky teens, so they often reward time spent bettering your community with discounts, Champion adds.
Choose a Safer Car — Teen car insurance may cost up to 50 percent less if your teen drives a safer car such as a Honda Civic or a Volvo, according to Champion. Newer model cars with airbags are the least expensive to insure—and the safest for your teen to drive. Sports cars, expensive cars, high-performance cars and SUVs carry higher risk and higher teen car insurance premiums.
Add Safety Features — Safety features such as anti-lock brakes, traction control, automatic seat belts and side-impact air bags can reduce teen car insurance rates considerably.
Does acai berry help you lose weight? This is a classic answer which most people are asking. Arising from the popularity of the superfood made so by Dr Oz and Oprah Winfrey, many folks are looking for acai berry-related products particularly for those that can help them to shed pounds off their bodies. Can acai berry really help you to lose weight? Read on.
The acai berry is a fruit in its original form just like any berry and can be found in Amazon. Long known for its high nutrition value and medicinal properties, the locals have been consuming the fruit since centuries ago.
It is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and anthocyanins. Antioxidants are the elements that help our bodies to neutralize harmful free radicals which affect our general health, and even skin complexion. Not only so, it is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A and C, essential amino acids, iron and calcium.
In order for you to appreciate how acai berry can help you to lose weight, you need to first understand the connection between weight and fat loss with antioxidants. You see, in losing weight, the body fat content is reduced and since our body fat stores toxins, they are released into our bodies. Not only so, free radicals that affect our cell development are also released via a process called oxidation.
Another side effect of weight loss is the loss of helpful nutrients like vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, carotenoids, etc. These further add strain on our bodies and slow down our metabolism.
How does acai berry help you lose weight then? Now, since it contains the necessary vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants, they quickly replenish that which is lost through losing weight. At the same time, it enhances our metabolism and calorie burning rate.
We must understand that weight loss is essentially a simple math equation. As long as we burn more calories each day than our intake, we begin to shed off extra pounds and fat. It is a simple concept. And acai berry helps our bodies to burn more calories.
Acai berry weight loss products are ideal for folks who are too busy to squeeze exercises into their daily routine. Why? Because simply by consuming it, you can effectively improve your metabolism and lose fat and weight while going about your normal activities. Since it doesn’t work like any other appetite suppressant, you really do not need to change your diet drastically.

‘A cigarette is a pipe with a fire at one end and a fool at the other’ said Dr. Johnson in his sarcastic comment on cigarettes and smoking.
Smoking is in fact a pernicious craving for tobacco products, especially cigarettes and cigars.
An organic compound, nicotine, which is richly found in tobacco smoke, is very detrimental to your health. It is linked with various health risks. It can cause diseases of the cardiovascular system, myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, diseases of the respiratory tract such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) chronic bronchitis and emphysema, cancer (particularly lung cancer and cancers of the larynx and tongue), peripheral vascular disease, birth defects of pregnant smokers' offspring, Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans), impotence, and in some cases it may develop cataracts that may cause blindness.
The statement ‘One thousand Americans stop smoking every day - by dying’ ironically expresses the risks of smoking.
“Sooner or later, everyone stops smoking.” Major health risks can be minimized by cessation smoking. Smoking cessation means to quit smoking, but the cardinal point is how to quit smoking.
Make sure after reading this article to check out other great stop smoking articles such as
Smoking can be quitted by using nicotine-containing tobacco substitutes. Nicotine replacement therapy has been quite an effective treatment. It uses various other nicotine delivery methods to replace nicotine obtained from smoking or other tobacco usage. The nicotine patch, inhaler, nasal spray, gum, gel, and lozenge are some effective tools of NTR. Nicotine gum is a chewing gum, which delivers nicotine to the body.
Nicotine patches are also used to quit smoking. Nicotine patches are transdermal patches that release nicotine into the skin. The patch therapy has been considerably successful in helping many people quit.
Hypnosis Stop-Smoking programs are another alternative that can help people who seriously want to quit.
Quit smoking help with hypnosis involves consultations and sittings with a hypnotherapist, who generally squeezes out the reasons for one’s smoking and the reasons for wanting to quit. Various hypnotherapy techniques, positive affirmations, and suggestions, are used to help the patient undertake a change of mindset and therefore quit smoking. Tools like stop smoking tapes or CDs are provided to the patient. Quit smoking hypnosis therapy is also proving to be a great quit smoking support.
The best way to quit smoking is to develop a strong will power to want to quit smoking. People who have weak will power cannot quit smoking. Weak will power can make even the effective therapies useless.
James I of England expressed his hate for smoking while he quoth, “A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.”
Smoking is not only injurious to health but rather to society also. It should be eradicated as early as possible.

when is there gonna be anything worth reading on this site. something that really makes you jump. like how much of a joke our gov't is becoming because of the underhanded methods they use to control this country. or how pharmicutical companies have not devoloped a cure in decades for any disease, because that would put them out of business. they'd rather have you sick so you can buy more drugs from them. or how it keeps appearing more and more that global warming and going green are nothing more than ways to get us to give corporations more and more of our money for products that do nothing for us other than help the corps profit more and more. maybe the idea that the gov't and oil companies are in cahoots, which is why we were paying what we were a few months ago, and we probably will be paying that again
Yep, finally going on a cruise. We are pulling out of NOLA on saturday for a tropical cruise to Mexico. I have always wanted to go on a cruise but just never did it. My oldest son will be getting married right before the cruise and will be joing us on the boat. I do not think he has realized the fact that his mother is going with him on his honeymoon. Could be worse I guess, it could be his mother-in-law instead.
Of course, if I had my say so, it would be an Alaskan cruise. But I do not have a say so in this matter. I am married remember? Not that I do not like Mexico but darn it, I have already been to and seen beaches. I doubt seriously that I will ever spot a polar bear ice fishing in Florida. I will bring back lots of pictures and according to my wife, I will do lots of shopping. A cruise right before Christmas... and I think my wife has poor planning skills. Guess she is just sneakier than I give her credit for. And I just had to have a room with a balcony for my first cruise. No sense in going on a cruise and not being able to sit on the balcony in my boxers and drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. She of course did not want to waste the extra money on a balcony suite. We will never be in the room she argued but I knew the real motive in her disagreement. It would take away some of her shopping money.
I read your blog on TDA titled "African-American"? Excellant writing and your points are dead on. Maybe we could shorten it to Af-Am. Just two syllables there but it does not the same strength. Actually would sound more like clearing your throat. Perhaps a simple light, medium or dark American would suffice? We could go with medium roast, dark roast or Cafe' Special. I would probably be in the Cafe' Special group as most of us probably are. I have kinky hair according to my dark roast co-worker.
I liked you comments about Al and Jesse not being the black spokesperson. That has been a topic of mine for a while. I work with a dark roast and have been working with him for over 22 years and we have a lot of good discussions on this matter. I consider him to be my best friend and my point to him for the last year or so is the fact that Jesse and Al ARE the spokesperson for his race. Whether by choice or media controlled, blacks have allowed their voices to be spread through the mouth of Jesse and Al. Mouths that more than likely are filtered by a radical convertor inside their brain that takes a simple feeling and turns it into a news worthy headline grabbing comment. It is the people like yourself K-Matt, that will not allow others to speak for you that will make the changes we need in racial tensions. By you speaking your feelings directly and not through that radical convertor, the medium roast crowd will begin to understand the dark roast folks. It is time for the dark roast crowd to assume the position of being their own spokesperson. We are all in the same boat, Dark roasts from Africa and us Cafe' Specials from Nova Scotia. Both were forced from our homes and endeared very similar lifes. While we were not officially slaves, most were forced to be share croppers and work long hours in the fields. K-Matt and my co-worker have in many ways opened my eyes and made me realize that the black race is not entirely what we see on the news. Their views are NOT the same as Jesse and Al. There needs to be more K-Matts out there.
Dang it, just spent 15 minutes writing a long blog and lost it. Oh well, part of the learning process. At least it was not deleted by a somebody else.
Here is the short version. I have owned two brand new GM cars as a younger man. Both were crap and led me to switch to Nissan. Since that time, I have owned three Altimas, a Maxima and a Pathfinder. All are and were great vehicles. I promised myself back then that GM would never get another dime of my money. Well, now they are in line with every other large US corporation asking for a bailout. Yes, the holding out of the hand is becomine a plague. After years and years of bad vehicles, bad decisions and blowing billions of dollars making cars that nobody wanted, now they want to reach into my pocket. From the EV1 electric car that swallowed billions of GM dollars only to end up being bought back by GM and retired to a desert cemetary to their latest waste of cash. The car that every American really wants right now. A gas guzzling, insurance rate hiking two door sports car named the Camaro. That should be a hot selling car in 2009. I am sure that the profits from this vehicle alone would save GM.
But alas, here we are today. Many cry that without the bailout, the Big Three will die and thousands will be layed off. So we must save them they say. Well, what will happen if GM closes it's doors? Who will replace the vehicles currently being sold by GM? Nissan, Honda and Toyota, they same companies that are building NEW plants in the US while Detroit is shutting theirs down. The Japanese makers will have to increase capacity to meet the demand. That means more plants and double shifts which will gobble up most of the layed off workers from the Big Three.
But, we live in America and we will never let a company like GM for Ford close down. Looks like GM will be getting some of my money again anyway. Well at least I will not have to deal with their porr quality cars.

When the Republic was founded in 1912, and the style of dress worn in China was based on Manchu dress (qipao and changshan), which had been imposed by the Qing Dynasty as a form of social control. The majority-Han Chinese revolutionaries who overthrew the Qing were fueled by failure of the Qing to defend China against western imperialists and the low standing of the Qing in terms of technology and science compared to the West. Even before the founding of the Republic, older forms of Chinese dress were becoming unpopular among the elite and led to the development of Chinese dress which combined the cheongsam and the Western hat to form a new dress. The Zhongshan suit is similar development which combined Western and Eastern fashions. It should be noted that until 1949 on the mainland and the 1980s in Taiwan, the civilian, non- political attire for males in China was not this tunic suit but a gown and over-jacket. The Zhongshan suit was an attempt to cater to "modern" sensibilities without completely adopting Western styles wholesale. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was personally involved, providing inputs based on his life experience in Japan: the Japanese cadet uniform became the basis of Zhongshan suit. There were other modifications as well: instead of the three hidden pockets in Western suits, the Zhongshan suit had four outside pockets to adhere to Chinese concepts of balance and symmetry. Over time, minor stylistic changes developed. The suit originally had seven buttons, later reduced to five. After repeated attempts to win support and recognition from Western countries failed, the Nationalist Party government in Canton led by Dr. Sun gained help (advisers and critically vital small arms) from Soviet Russia, which viewed it as a likely revolutionary ally against Western interests in the Far East; Chinese nationalism at the time (of treaty ports and extra-territoriality discriminations) was naturally heavily infected with resentment against the West. As a result of this geopolitical alignment, Dr. Sun agreed to permit the nascent Chinese Communist Party to join the Nationalist Party -- as individual members -- not as a party-party union, combination or alliance. As a result, early Communist Party members adopted the attire as a mark of joining the Nationalist Party. Ironically, from that practice during an attenuated political marriage of convenience which would soon be divorced in blood (in 1927), Asian Marxist movements and governments henceforth would all consider this attire as a standard of political coloration, and it would continue to be appropriate dress for both sides of the bitter Chinese civil wars lasting decades. After Sun Yat-sen's death in 1925, popular mythology assigned a revolutionary and patriotic significance to the Zhongshan suit. The four pockets were said to represent the Four Virtues cited in the classic Guanzi. The five center-front buttons were said to represent the five Yuans (branches of government) cited in the constitution of the Republic of China and the three cuff-buttons to symbolize Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People.
There are more than one million people every month who are in need to perform a reverse search by cell phone number. Where do they turn? Reverse cell phone directories, of course. There's a number of reasons to make use of these directories such as:
• To find out who your children are talking to • To find out if your spouse/partner is not being faithful • To catch a prank caller • For official/legal reasons • To avoid certain callers • To identify unknown callers
Unfortunately, you can't simply grab the phone book and start looking the number up. Phonebook tracing only works for landlines, since that is public information. The same goes for calling Information, they can't release private information about cellphone owners. Don't even bother with a private investigator. S/he will charge you a ton of money for retrieving just a little bit of information, plus it can take him/her weeks to get back to you.
So, why are reverse cell phone search services the best to use for your reverse search by cell phone number? Essentially, these directories are privately-owned databases consisting of not just cell phone numbers but landlines, business, unlisted and unpublished numbers. They contain millions of numbers and are frequently updated to provide you with the most accurate information.

Every baby should come with two things: a "how-to" book and a quality stroller. For nearly any parent, grandparent or caregiver, the ability to wheel a child around in a stroller is a study in convenience. In fact, the most difficult part of owning a stroller is probably buying one. There are more stroller styles and features than ever before. Even jogger strollers (specifically made for running or walking) are coming into their own. Many jogger strollers are trading their all-too-utilitarian designs for a touch of luxury. At Consumer Guide, we share expert reviews on strollers and joggers great for nearly any budget, taking care to point out helpful features designed to make life easier for parent and child. Currently, a number of stroller manufacturers are rolling out new models with improved details. Some manufacturers are paying more attention to how a stroller or jogger performs, adding large pneumatic wheels and all-wheel suspension systems. Others are paying attention to parent-friendly features and adding customized storage, height-adjustable handles and even a one-hand steering option. Perhaps the trendiest feature we have seen is a stroller with an iPod pocket and built-in speakers. Expect to pay more for a full-size stroller than a lightweight umbrella-style model. The trade-off, however, is a good one: A quality full-size stroller should be durable enough to use for several years. A jogger stroller typically won't have all the convenience features of a full-size stroller, but when it comes to getting a bit of exercise, there's no substitute.While it can be difficult to justify spending hundreds on a stroller or jogger in the face of mounting expenses (such as your child's future college education), initially spending more can sometimes save money in the long run. Compare the expense of purchasing a quality stroller with the cost of buying two or three strollers that wear out or don't perform as promised. It adds up. Make a few decisions before you begin shopping. If you prioritize your needs (adjustable handles, reclining seat, large canopy), it's easier to sift through the trendy "new" features. It's also important to note that "quality" doesn't always equal "costly." Thanks to a competitive juvenile products industry, careful shoppers can find an increasing number of mid-priced strollers with features once seen only on high-end models. Expect to spend $75 to $300 or more for a full-size stroller. At the lower-end of the price spectrum, you will find only the most basic models. These are OK if you plan to use a stroller only occasionally. If a stroller will be a big part of your after-baby life, shell out a few more dollars for comfort and convenience features. It will be worth it. Specialized strollers, such as jogger strollers, average about $200, but some cost $400 or more. Again, if you're a serious athlete planning to put a lot of mileage on a stroller, durability should be a priority. If you will just be walking around the cul-de-sac, a basic model should be fine. It is a new design ride-on swing toy car. It also named as "Wiggle Car" or "Plasma Car" in USA. If you are looking for something different to a bike, this is your first choice. It is good for party, entertainment and gift for kids. Therefore, you can refer to above-mentioned information, which strollers best suit your needs and budget.
Christmas season is a busy time, and sometimes you may feel overwhelmed from the amount of things to do in a short amount of time.

Whatever Happened To Lightning
One thing I really remember from my childhood is lightning bugs. On a cable tv-nature show I was watching recently, they were on the subject of bioluminescent creatures in the depths of the ocean. As a sidenote they touched on the "firefly" and it's mechanisms for creating it's light. That got me to thinking. Just when was the last time I've seen even one lightning bug? Some people call them fireflies, but I have never heard them referred to as that. When I was growing up they were always just "lightning bugs." I can remember vividly running through an open field on summer nights in the in the mid sixties. Running a zig zag pattern and swatting the bugs to the ground if they were unfortunate enough to light up in front of me. There were so many in the air at that time that it was not uncommon to swat down five or more in less than fifty yards. They were then collected in a jar, and eventually ground down to a fine biolumenescent paste. Perfect for rubbing on younger siblings! Ah, the good old days.
These days, however, with the Google right in front of us, I couldn't help but look up some things about the old lightning bug. I found the reason that they are flashing is that they are looking for mates or prey. The females sit on nearby vegetation and wait for males to "flash" them. If they are ready to mate they will respond to a male by "flashing" right back. Then a dance of sorts take place with their light bursts becoming shorter in duration and closer together. As this plays out the male is also getting closer and closer to the female, and if it goes his way, bingo. Well that sounds a lot like what the creatures are doing in the dark depths. Albeit, not nearly as elaborate as some of them.
The lightning bug produces it's light chemically from it's abdomen. Across North America the light can range in color between green, yellow, or pale red. ( I have only seen them in green myself.) They thrive in wet wooded or marshy areas where their glowing larvae have plenty to eat. Most of the areas that I used to see them in are not nearly as wooded as they used to be.
So, do you remember lightning bugs? Are there any places around Lafayette where they can still be found? Would love to hear from anybody and everybody on this subject.
Tomorrow, we look at the 600 block of Jefferson Street, as it was in 1959. A lot has changed since then.

Racial Undertone
I am very dissapointed in the way Vermilion and Lafayette Parish residents are so pissed the President-elect Barack Obama has won. I now know certain people's true charcter. Black people have voted for white presidents since black men were allowed to vote. I guess people down here are still very slow, uneducated, ignorant and obviously racist. I hope these people took a good look at who put Barack Obama in the oval office,all true Americans did, not racist ones. That is why you'll LOST! You'll were way to worried about him being a terriost, anti-american who didn't say the pledge and who will be sworn in on the Karan. Obama and his camp were more worried about the economy and how he can make this America the way it use to be. If he was a white man no one would have every question his patriotism, but because he is black, Omg, his is everything negative anyone could think of. Shame on you. It time to get over, because like it or not a black man, with his black wife, and their black children will be in the white house and your leader for the next 8 years. Please always remember what your mama taught you God does not like ugly and their is nothing uglier than HATE! Thank you to all true Americans who went out and supported our President-elect Barack Obama

Does Acai Berry Help You Lose
Does acai berry help you lose weight? This is a classic answer which most people are asking. Arising from the popularity of the superfood made so by Dr Oz and Oprah Winfrey, many folks are looking for acai berry-related products particularly for those that can help them to shed pounds off their bodies. Can acai berry really help you to lose weight? Read on.
The acai berry is a fruit in its original form just like any berry and can be found in Amazon. Long known for its high nutrition value and medicinal properties, the locals have been consuming the fruit since centuries ago.
It is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and anthocyanins. Antioxidants are the elements that help our bodies to neutralize harmful free radicals which affect our general health, and even skin complexion. Not only so, it is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A and C, essential amino acids, iron and calcium.
In order for you to appreciate how acai berry can help you to lose weight, you need to first understand the connection between weight and fat loss with antioxidants. You see, in losing weight, the body fat content is reduced and since our body fat stores toxins, they are released into our bodies. Not only so, free radicals that affect our cell development are also released via a process called oxidation.
Another side effect of weight loss is the loss of helpful nutrients like vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, carotenoids, etc. These further add strain on our bodies and slow down our metabolism.
How does acai berry help you lose weight then? Now, since it contains the necessary vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants, they quickly replenish that which is lost through losing weight. At the same time, it enhances our metabolism and calorie burning rate.
We must understand that weight loss is essentially a simple math equation. As long as we burn more calories each day than our intake, we begin to shed off extra pounds and fat. It is a simple concept. And acai berry helps our bodies to burn more calories.
Acai berry weight loss products are ideal for folks who are too busy to squeeze exercises into their daily routine. Why? Because simply by consuming it, you can effectively improve your metabolism and lose fat and weight while going about your normal activities. Since it doesn’t work like any other appetite suppressant, you really do not need to change your diet drastically.

Quit Smoking Methods – An Alte
‘A cigarette is a pipe with a fire at one end and a fool at the other’ said Dr. Johnson in his sarcastic comment on cigarettes and smoking.
Smoking is in fact a pernicious craving for tobacco products, especially cigarettes and cigars.
An organic compound, nicotine, which is richly found in tobacco smoke, is very detrimental to your health. It is linked with various health risks. It can cause diseases of the cardiovascular system, myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, diseases of the respiratory tract such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) chronic bronchitis and emphysema, cancer (particularly lung cancer and cancers of the larynx and tongue), peripheral vascular disease, birth defects of pregnant smokers' offspring, Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans), impotence, and in some cases it may develop cataracts that may cause blindness.
The statement ‘One thousand Americans stop smoking every day - by dying’ ironically expresses the risks of smoking.
“Sooner or later, everyone stops smoking.” Major health risks can be minimized by cessation smoking. Smoking cessation means to quit smoking, but the cardinal point is how to quit smoking.
Make sure after reading this article to check out other great stop smoking articles such as
Smoke Deter, Stop Smoking Aids, and Quit Smoking Cold Turkey
Smoking can be quitted by using nicotine-containing tobacco substitutes. Nicotine replacement therapy has been quite an effective treatment. It uses various other nicotine delivery methods to replace nicotine obtained from smoking or other tobacco usage. The nicotine patch, inhaler, nasal spray, gum, gel, and lozenge are some effective tools of NTR. Nicotine gum is a chewing gum, which delivers nicotine to the body.
Nicotine patches are also used to quit smoking. Nicotine patches are transdermal patches that release nicotine into the skin. The patch therapy has been considerably successful in helping many people quit.
Hypnosis Stop-Smoking programs are another alternative that can help people who seriously want to quit.
Quit smoking help with hypnosis involves consultations and sittings with a hypnotherapist, who generally squeezes out the reasons for one’s smoking and the reasons for wanting to quit. Various hypnotherapy techniques, positive affirmations, and suggestions, are used to help the patient undertake a change of mindset and therefore quit smoking. Tools like stop smoking tapes or CDs are provided to the patient. Quit smoking hypnosis therapy is also proving to be a great quit smoking support.
The best way to quit smoking is to develop a strong will power to want to quit smoking. People who have weak will power cannot quit smoking. Weak will power can make even the effective therapies useless.
James I of England expressed his hate for smoking while he quoth, “A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.”
Smoking is not only injurious to health but rather to society also. It should be eradicated as early as possible.

real news
when is there gonna be anything worth reading on this site. something that really makes you jump. like how much of a joke our gov't is becoming because of the underhanded methods they use to control this country. or how pharmicutical companies have not devoloped a cure in decades for any disease, because that would put them out of business. they'd rather have you sick so you can buy more drugs from them. or how it keeps appearing more and more that global warming and going green are nothing more than ways to get us to give corporations more and more of our money for products that do nothing for us other than help the corps profit more and more. maybe the idea that the gov't and oil companies are in cahoots, which is why we were paying what we were a few months ago, and we probably will be paying that again
First Cruise
Yep, finally going on a cruise. We are pulling out of NOLA on saturday for a tropical cruise to Mexico. I have always wanted to go on a cruise but just never did it. My oldest son will be getting married right before the cruise and will be joing us on the boat. I do not think he has realized the fact that his mother is going with him on his honeymoon. Could be worse I guess, it could be his mother-in-law instead.
Of course, if I had my say so, it would be an Alaskan cruise. But I do not have a say so in this matter. I am married remember? Not that I do not like Mexico but darn it, I have already been to and seen beaches. I doubt seriously that I will ever spot a polar bear ice fishing in Florida. I will bring back lots of pictures and according to my wife, I will do lots of shopping. A cruise right before Christmas... and I think my wife has poor planning skills. Guess she is just sneakier than I give her credit for. And I just had to have a room with a balcony for my first cruise. No sense in going on a cruise and not being able to sit on the balcony in my boxers and drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. She of course did not want to waste the extra money on a balcony suite. We will never be in the room she argued but I knew the real motive in her disagreement. It would take away some of her shopping money.

Blog Link on TDA
I read your blog on TDA titled "African-American"? Excellant writing and your points are dead on. Maybe we could shorten it to Af-Am. Just two syllables there but it does not the same strength. Actually would sound more like clearing your throat. Perhaps a simple light, medium or dark American would suffice? We could go with medium roast, dark roast or Cafe' Special. I would probably be in the Cafe' Special group as most of us probably are. I have kinky hair according to my dark roast co-worker.
I liked you comments about Al and Jesse not being the black spokesperson. That has been a topic of mine for a while. I work with a dark roast and have been working with him for over 22 years and we have a lot of good discussions on this matter. I consider him to be my best friend and my point to him for the last year or so is the fact that Jesse and Al ARE the spokesperson for his race. Whether by choice or media controlled, blacks have allowed their voices to be spread through the mouth of Jesse and Al. Mouths that more than likely are filtered by a radical convertor inside their brain that takes a simple feeling and turns it into a news worthy headline grabbing comment. It is the people like yourself K-Matt, that will not allow others to speak for you that will make the changes we need in racial tensions. By you speaking your feelings directly and not through that radical convertor, the medium roast crowd will begin to understand the dark roast folks. It is time for the dark roast crowd to assume the position of being their own spokesperson. We are all in the same boat, Dark roasts from Africa and us Cafe' Specials from Nova Scotia. Both were forced from our homes and endeared very similar lifes. While we were not officially slaves, most were forced to be share croppers and work long hours in the fields. K-Matt and my co-worker have in many ways opened my eyes and made me realize that the black race is not entirely what we see on the news. Their views are NOT the same as Jesse and Al. There needs to be more K-Matts out there.
The Big Three
Dang it, just spent 15 minutes writing a long blog and lost it. Oh well, part of the learning process. At least it was not deleted by a somebody else.
Here is the short version. I have owned two brand new GM cars as a younger man. Both were crap and led me to switch to Nissan. Since that time, I have owned three Altimas, a Maxima and a Pathfinder. All are and were great vehicles. I promised myself back then that GM would never get another dime of my money. Well, now they are in line with every other large US corporation asking for a bailout. Yes, the holding out of the hand is becomine a plague. After years and years of bad vehicles, bad decisions and blowing billions of dollars making cars that nobody wanted, now they want to reach into my pocket. From the EV1 electric car that swallowed billions of GM dollars only to end up being bought back by GM and retired to a desert cemetary to their latest waste of cash. The car that every American really wants right now. A gas guzzling, insurance rate hiking two door sports car named the Camaro. That should be a hot selling car in 2009. I am sure that the profits from this vehicle alone would save GM.
But alas, here we are today. Many cry that without the bailout, the Big Three will die and thousands will be layed off. So we must save them they say. Well, what will happen if GM closes it's doors? Who will replace the vehicles currently being sold by GM? Nissan, Honda and Toyota, they same companies that are building NEW plants in the US while Detroit is shutting theirs down. The Japanese makers will have to increase capacity to meet the demand. That means more plants and double shifts which will gobble up most of the layed off workers from the Big Three.
But, we live in America and we will never let a company like GM for Ford close down. Looks like GM will be getting some of my money again anyway. Well at least I will not have to deal with their porr quality cars.

Traditional Jackets
When the Republic was founded in 1912, and the style of dress worn in China was based on Manchu dress (qipao and changshan), which had been imposed by the Qing Dynasty as a form of social control. The majority-Han Chinese revolutionaries who overthrew the Qing were fueled by failure of the Qing to defend China against western imperialists and the low standing of the Qing in terms of technology and science compared to the West. Even before the founding of the Republic, older forms of Chinese dress were becoming unpopular among the elite and led to the development of Chinese dress which combined the cheongsam and the Western hat to form a new dress. The Zhongshan suit is similar development which combined Western and Eastern fashions. It should be noted that until 1949 on the mainland and the 1980s in Taiwan, the civilian, non- political attire for males in China was not this tunic suit but a gown and over-jacket.
The Zhongshan suit was an attempt to cater to "modern" sensibilities without completely adopting Western styles wholesale. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was personally involved, providing inputs based on his life experience in Japan: the Japanese cadet uniform became the basis of Zhongshan suit. There were other modifications as well: instead of the three hidden pockets in Western suits, the Zhongshan suit had four outside pockets to adhere to Chinese concepts of balance and symmetry. Over time, minor stylistic changes developed. The suit originally had seven buttons, later reduced to five. 
After repeated attempts to win support and recognition from Western countries failed, the Nationalist Party government in Canton led by Dr. Sun gained help (advisers and critically vital small arms) from Soviet Russia, which viewed it as a likely revolutionary ally against Western interests in the Far East; Chinese nationalism at the time (of treaty ports and extra-territoriality discriminations) was naturally heavily infected with resentment against the West. As a result of this geopolitical alignment, Dr. Sun agreed to permit the nascent Chinese Communist Party to join the Nationalist Party -- as individual members -- not as a party-party union, combination or alliance. As a result, early Communist Party members adopted the attire as a mark of joining the Nationalist Party. Ironically, from that practice during an attenuated political marriage of convenience which would soon be divorced in blood (in 1927), Asian Marxist movements and governments henceforth would all consider this attire as a standard of political coloration, and it would continue to be appropriate dress for both sides of the bitter Chinese civil wars lasting decades. 
After Sun Yat-sen's death in 1925, popular mythology assigned a revolutionary and patriotic significance to the Zhongshan suit. The four pockets were said to represent the Four Virtues cited in the classic Guanzi. The five center-front buttons were said to represent the five Yuans (branches of government) cited in the constitution of the Republic of China and the three cuff-buttons to symbolize Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People.

Every baby should come with two things: a "how-to" book and a quality stroller. For nearly any parent, grandparent or caregiver, the ability to wheel a child around in a stroller is a study in convenience. In fact, the most difficult part of owning a stroller is probably buying one. There are more stroller styles and features than ever before. Even jogger strollers (specifically made for running or walking) are coming into their own. Many jogger strollers are trading their all-too-utilitarian designs for a touch of luxury. At Consumer Guide, we share expert reviews on strollers and joggers great for nearly any budget, taking care to point out helpful features designed to make life easier for parent and child. Currently, a number of stroller manufacturers are rolling out new models with improved details. Some manufacturers are paying more attention to how a stroller or jogger performs, adding large pneumatic wheels and all-wheel suspension systems. Others are paying attention to parent-friendly features and adding customized storage, height-adjustable handles and even a one-hand steering option. Perhaps the trendiest feature we have seen is a stroller with an iPod pocket and built-in speakers. Expect to pay more for a full-size stroller than a lightweight umbrella-style model. The trade-off, however, is a good one: A quality full-size stroller should be durable enough to use for several years. A jogger stroller typically won't have all the convenience features of a full-size stroller, but when it comes to getting a bit of exercise, there's no substitute.While it can be difficult to justify spending hundreds on a stroller or jogger in the face of mounting expenses (such as your child's future college education), initially spending more can sometimes save money in the long run. Compare the expense of purchasing a quality stroller with the cost of buying two or three strollers that wear out or don't perform as promised. It adds up. Make a few decisions before you begin shopping. If you prioritize your needs (adjustable handles, reclining seat, large canopy), it's easier to sift through the trendy "new" features. It's also important to note that "quality" doesn't always equal "costly." Thanks to a competitive juvenile products industry, careful shoppers can find an increasing number of mid-priced strollers with features once seen only on high-end models. Expect to spend $75 to $300 or more for a full-size stroller. At the lower-end of the price spectrum, you will find only the most basic models. These are OK if you plan to use a stroller only occasionally. If a stroller will be a big part of your after-baby life, shell out a few more dollars for comfort and convenience features. It will be worth it. Specialized strollers, such as jogger strollers, average about $200, but some cost $400 or more. Again, if you're a serious athlete planning to put a lot of mileage on a stroller, durability should be a priority. If you will just be walking around the cul-de-sac, a basic model should be fine.
It is a new design ride-on swing toy car. It also named as "Wiggle Car" or "Plasma Car" in USA. If you are looking for something different to a bike, this is your first choice. It is good for party, entertainment and gift for kids. Therefore, you can refer to above-mentioned information, which strollers best suit your needs and budget.
