So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

New Vitamin a

By Dominic Bowen


HEALTHY eyes rely on a wide range of food and minerals. Here are the vitamins you want to maintain a good vision

Vitamin A. It may protect surfaces in the eye against oxidative damage and is believed to have a role in the fixing of cells that have been injured. Foods with Vitamin An are liver, dairy foods and eggs.

Vitamin C. It is present in high concentrations in the tissues of the eye. Inadequacies could lead to many eye Problems.

Foods high in Vitamin C are kalamansi, blackcurrants, strawberries and citrus fruits.

*Zinc. It is present in several tissues in the eye, where it is assumed to play a protecting role against age-related wear.

Eggs, seafood, meat, nuts and legumes all are high in zinc. Potatoes in Britain, everyone eats 207lb of this flexible vegetable every year and surveys suggest two-thirds of us believe - in the case of the jacket spud at least - that it qualifies as one of our suggested 'five portions of fruit and veg a day '. However amazingly, it doesn't, according to the govt at least.

Vitamin a Despite the indisputable fact that the potato is one hundred % natural, fat and cholesterol-free and packed full of vitamins and minerals, the Dept of Health ( DoH ) hasn't included it in the 'five a day ' factors since it launched its healthy-eating campaign in March 2003. In fact , it doesn't even class the potato as a vegetable in any way.

'Potatoes are botanically classified as a vegetable, but they're classified nutritionally as a starchy food, ' claims a DoH spokesperson. 'This is actually because when eaten as an element of a meal, they are generally used in place of other starchy carbs, for example bread, pasta or rice.

Go Go Boots - Styles To Go With Every Outfit

By Janet Alexia


Looking to drum things up the next time you go out? Do you want something other than ordinary boots in your wardrobe? Go-go boots are what you need. Gogo boots became very popular back in the 60s, and they have endured changes in tastes and styles over the years. While they're a classic element of the go-go dancer Halloween costume and seem to always come in loud, shiny colors, they can also come in more "ordinary" colors, textures, and styles. What this means is that you can work them into any wardrobe.

Go-go boots are normally associated with club wear. They have a certain style to them that just screams disco balls and lighted dance floors. They're still around today, and the style has bubbled around cult status for many years. Go-go boots commonly have lower heel heights than platform heels (generally around 4 inches or less), and the heel itself is chunkier, so the chances of falling flat on one's face after a breaking a heel are thankfully reduced. Depending on the style, you can go for a classic go-go look, fur-tipped ones for a stylish appearance, or shimmery sequins when you really want to be noticed.

The metallic-colored boots look like something out of a science fiction movie. The sparkly accents on the sides of them make the look like "moon boots." They also serve as the perfect complement to a Goth-style outfit. There is even a "super hero" boot for those times when you want to play dress-up and put on a costume.

In fact, there are so many designs of go-go boots that you may want more than one pair. It goes without saying that these boots look great; however, these aren't the kind of boots for winter walking. While no one will ever mistake them for having great traction in the snow, they're fashionable boots nonetheless.

The length of gogo boots makes them the ultimate pairing to short skirts and dresses. Since they go higher up the leg than most ordinary boots, they make your legs appear longer. It gives you a more sexy appearance that will turn heads and get the tongues wagging. These are the kind of boots that can go with any outfit, so you must add a couple pairs of go-go boots to your collection.

Office Design - How A Expert Design Can Enhance Business Performance

By Ben Marcial


How an office is designed can have a significant influence on how dynamic workers are inside the office. Therefore, many companies these days try out new designs which concentrate on restructuring the work flow and building a better work atmosphere.

It is an established fact that without close collaboration among the employees, levels of work efficiency in an office tend to fall rapidly. Offices that are strictly partitioned into cubicles and private cabins develop a sense of pecking order that obstructs free interaction among employees and bosses, thereby affecting the smooth flow of work.

The first step towards getting a productive office design is to remove the cubicles inhabiting the office space. There must be an open floor plan where all the employees including the senior managers can sit collectively and interact freely. All barriers of communication and sight like area enclosing fixtures or construction, opaque screens etc. should be avoided in an office.

The other important consideration for an effective office design would be to opt for environment friendly materials and furniture, which are recyclable and simple to manage. Moreover, the designers should ensure that ample daylight reaches the office interiors. Natural light will help the management to make significant savings in electricity expenses. Sunlight also keeps the work force more lively and healthy.

No two businesses are exactly alike when it comes to work profile, and thus office designing varies accordingly. However, keeping in mind these basic guidelines and including them in an office will foster a conducive atmosphere for enhancing workers' productivity and making them feel happy about the company. A good office design can also be an impression creating strategy for a company, with clients appreciating the modern outlook that the company's office will project. If you take the help of an established and reputed company for providing office design guidance, your task of managing all these aspects will be made much easier and efficient.

What Is The Deal With Comparing Your Auto Insurance?

By Benny Whitenhouse


Auto insurance is a very important issue, one that every driver needs to be aware of, regardless of their age and driving experience. This is one of the most important things that you will ever do.

Peace and reassurance knowing you have some liability protection against lawsuits and excessive repair bills should be your number one concern, and auto insurance should rest those concerns.

What You Really Should Consider

Even if your car is not all that expensive, without an auto insurance quote you will not be able to find the right auto insurance company for you. As a result, you are not going to have auto insurance on your car, and this means that if anything happens to it, you are basically completely on your own and at your expense.

If your car gets stolen, is vandalized, or you get in an accident, you are going to be covering the damages - and possibly getting in trouble with the law - if you do not have up to date auto insurance.

How Can You Do It?

Getting an auto insurance quote is probably much easier than you think. Many people fear processes like this because they think that it will take a lot of time and get them frustrated. Well, in today's technologically advanced day and age, it is a very quick and simple process, and in fact you can do it all online.

You should pick up the phone and call a few carriers as well as get quotes online. This will give you an idea of how they treat their customers and how long you have to wait for a live person to answer. If you have to wait a long time before you are a paying customer you will have to really wait long to file a claim.

Its pretty darn easy to save money on auto insurance if you are willing to put in the leg work and make some calls. Asking for discounts is a must as well, you never know until you ask. I have seen many times clients not offered a discounted rate until they asked for it.

A Look at Diet Fitness

By Amanda Gamdana


Despite the rise in obesity and weight problems generally, increasing numbers of people nowadays are very conscious about their own health and fitness. Health and fitness magazines may be to blame but perhaps it is also a desire to improve the way we look in a very image conscious society that we live in. As a result, gyms, health spas and other fitness centers have proliferated all over to cater to the needs of the fitness and body conscious enthusiasts.

On television, exercise machines, weight loss products, and other paraphernalia to improve fitness have made a huge impression on the audiences whose homes they invade on a daily basis. What isn't given enough emphasis though is the responsibility we all have to eat healthy as part of this regime and not just to expect exercise and fitness to be a cure-all.

It is the food we eat in our diet and fitness program that will encourage a healthy body, as exercise will not restore damaged muscles or keep you healthy. What doesn't help the average person is what diet-fitness regime to follow as both seem to make sense; there is the one that says eat foods with high carbohydrate levels and the other which says you need to eat foods with a high fat content which appears to contradict everything we are told about dieting.

To understand this better you need to know that the high-carbohydrate followers believe that you need to eat foods rich in carbohydrates to exercise well and the opposition believe you need to consume foods high in fat. The more traditional high-carb diet camp says you need to have carbohydrates because the glycogen or glucose is stored in the muscles ready for use when performing anaerobic or what we term, short and rapid exercise.

Whereas, fat is a rich source of calories with two and a half times more than proteins and carbohydrates while fat metabolizes in an eighth of the time it does for carbohydrates. The choice is yours but unless you are aiming to put on extra weight in the form of body fat, you are advised not to follow both programs.

The main factor to consider is that if you are just following a diet and fitness lifestyle then the last thing you want is too add extra pounds of unwanted fat. Research shows that sustainable loss of weight can only be achieved on a diet which suits the individual food preferences, lifestyle and medical profile.

The problem with most diets is that people can't wait to come off them but if one can be tailored made for you then there is a greater chance you will stay on it and eat in moderation and a variety of food groups. The important message here is experiment until you find the diet fitness method that suits you and then staying fit and healthy will be much easier and probably enjoyable.
