2008 Presidential Election

Predictions

• Democrats will take control of the Whitehouse, the Congress & the Senate.
• John Edwards / Joe Biden most likely democratic winners.
• Mike Huckabee / Mitt Romney most likely republican losers.
• Democratic candidates will win by a huge margin.

The republicans only real hope of victory would be a John McCain / Ron Paul ticket. But this seems very unlikely since the republican party today is so much more about “religion” than anything else. This over focus on religion will cause the republican party to implode. Religion should be a personal matter not a public policy or party platform.

Optimism is contagious

Optimism Versus Pessimism
By: Gary M. Miller, Tue Nov 13th, 2007
In this fast changing, struggle-filled world, there are two kinds of people; those who see only the bad and those who see a whole lot more. Which person are you? It’s easy to see the bad and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know there are problems out there. It’s harder to see beyond the bad and into a world of promise and a better life. What it basically boils down to is, are you a pessimist or an optimist? You can be one or the other but you can’t be both.

The Power Of Optimism
By: Gary M. Miller, Tue Nov 13th, 2007
Most people don’t believe that their lives are the result of their own actions. They see themselves as victims, having been accidentally thrown into a life that they didn’t choose. They didn’t “choose” their parents or the country they were born in. They didn’t “choose” to be born without money or without the prettiest face on the block. Life seems unfair to them and full of bad people who are always looking to cheat and take advantage of everyone else. Does this attitude sound familiar to you? It should sound familiar because it is an extremely common attitude and probably makes up the majority of the way people think. For you, however, it doesn’t have to be this way. There is another way to think and it is called optimism.

Optimism
By: Anna White, Tue Jul 25th, 2006
How many times have you heard someone say, “Hey, cheer up!” or “Turn that frown upside-down!”? Unconsciously we all seem to know that optimism is a virtue and that a negative outlook is something to be concerned about. And did you know that there are actually a host of concrete reasons why this is so?

Nail Fungus Prevention

Nail Fungus Prevention To help prevent nail fungus and reduce recurrent infections, practice good hand and foot hygiene by following these steps: * Keep your nails short, dry and clean. Trim nails straight across and file down thickened areas. Thoroughly dry your hands and feet, including between your toes, after bathing.* Wear appropriate socks. Synthetic socks that wick away moisture may keep your feet dryer than do cotton or wool socks (you can also wear synthetic socks underneath other socks). Change them often, especially if your feet sweat excessively. Take your shoes off occasionally during the day and after exercise. Alternate closed-toe shoes with open-toed shoes.* Use an antifungal spray or powder. Spray or sprinkle your feet and the insides of your shoes. * Wear rubber gloves. This protects your hands from overexposure to water. Between uses, turn the rubber gloves inside out to dry.* Don’t trim or pick at the skin around your nails. This may give germs access to your skin and nails.* Don’t go barefoot in public places. Wear shoes around public pools, showers and locker rooms.* Choose a reputable manicure and pedicure salon. Make sure the salon sterilizes its instruments. Better yet, bring your own. * Give up nail polish and artificial nails. Although it may be tempting to hide nail fungal infections under a coat of pretty pink polish, this can trap unwanted moisture and worsen the infection.* Wash your hands after touching an infected nail. Nail fungus can spread from nail to nail.

You often hear “Yes, you already told me about that” or maybe you thought you told someone, but you never actually verbalized it. Someone tells you their name and then ninety seconds later you say, “Ok, tell me your name again.”

By: Willie Krut, Mon Jan 30th, 2006
Vitamins play a crucial role in our body’s chemistry processes but many people neglect their importance and eventually end up getting ill or suffering because of their ignorance.

Discover How to Grow Your Own Source of Vitamins, Fiber
By: Emily Clark, Thu Dec 22nd, 2005
Sprouts not only taste good, but they are also a great source of vitamins, fiber, protein, anti-oxidants, and enzymes. A sprout is produced when a seed starts growing into a vegetable. Sprouts can grow from the seeds of vegetables, from grains such as buckwheat, and from beans. While Mung beans are perhaps the most common source of sprouts, you can also obtain good results from lentils, soybeans and chickpeas just to name a few.
