Writing Tips For You Article

Posted on November 11, 2011 by

Writing can be a very challenging task especially to people who dislike doing it so much. With the birth of the internet, there are many articles circulating the virtual world that you come across. The factors that make an article enjoyable to read lies in a number of aspects such as content research and a unique approach on how the writer tells her story. Read along to know the few writing tips that can help you.

The most important thing when you are creating a story is that you must know what you are going to write about. Do a lot of research and make time to find valuable information that is relevant for your article. The next challenge is to use the skills you have to make the write-up interesting.

Long paragraphs are not the way to go when you are trying to get people to spend time reading an article. Not everyone is a heavy reader and most people will skip to the next article. Try using short paragraphs as they are much easier to read and will attract more readers. Don’t be afraid to use as little as two to three sentences in a single paragraph.

Make use of bullets or numbers. This is a way to stress on a certain key points that you want your readers to focus on. Give your article some styles by using a format with indentations to make your article clearer and easier to read as well as remember.

Choose a very strong attention-grabbing topic or title for your article. It is true that half the battle is won with a title that captures the curiosity of people. Questions or statements that contain important keyword or keyword phrases that people are looking for will immediately attract more readers. However, you must make sure that the title is also relevant to your article content. A misleading title will not reach genuine readers.

These are just a few basic writing tips to help you get the engine started. Keep them in mind as you work out for an interesting article. With practice, you will be naturally good at it.

At the end of this article, I’d like to share cool website with more information on topics like writing tips and how to write a bibliography. Visit for more information.

Anti-Aging Beauty Tips: Your Kitchen Pantry – And Honey

Posted on October 25, 2011 by MarisueWrites

Anti Aging Skin Care

Anti Aging Skin Care Tips

Beauty is skin deep. It’s where it starts. If you take care of yourself internally by eating healthy, then your skin will show it. When you have bad eating habits, that can show on your skin too. There are a lot of great natural skin care products out there, but it often means spending quite a bit of money. There are other cost effective ways to do the same with ingredients found in your pantry and kitchen.

Before I tell you how you can use ingredients found in your kitchen, let’s look at some other factors that can cause wrinkles and make you look older. Plus, some beauty tips on correcting them.

10 Things that Make You Look Older and the Fixes

1. The older you are, the less elastic your skin becomes. So sleeping on your face is not an ideal sleeping position. One night of sleeping on your face isn’t going to cause wrinkles, but sleeping that way for a number of years will. The best position is sleeping on your back as sleeping on your side will also cause wrinkles.

2. Drink water daily to hydrate your body. Your body is made up largely from water so it makes sense to replenish with water. How much is enough? It makes more sense if you divide your body weight by two and then drink half of the amount of your body weight in ounces. For example, if you’re 170 lbs, you need to drink 85 ounces of water daily.

3. Always remove your make-up at night. The last thing you want is clogged pores and it’s just plain awful.

4. If you smoke, stop! It’s horrible for your skin, teeth, fingers, breath…need I say more?

5. Use sunscreen on your face with at least a SPF 15. There are many facial moisturizers have that SPF in it so it doesn’t feel heavy or feel like you have sunscreen on.

6. Wear sunglasses and/or hat to prevent squinting and to protect your eyes from the UV rays.

7. Exfoliate your skin often to remove dead skin and to stimulate new skin cell growth.

8. Get enough sleep to prevent dark circles or bags under your eyes. When you’re tired, your skin also looks tired and lifeless.

9. De-stress by exercising, meditating or whatever you do to relax. Exercising gets your blood circulating and gives you a healthy glow. Find some time to relax.

10. Don’t exaggerate your facial expressions by making frown creases on your forehead, raising your eyebrows or squinting. Also, don’t rest your chin in the palms of your hands or put your hand against your face to hold up your head.

Kitchen Beauty, Skin and Honey…Oh My!

Not everyone can afford to go to the spa regularly…at least I can’t! LOL! No problem! There are frugal ways you can have your own little spa days at home. Below are some easy ways to use honey and some items from your kitchen pantry to create some homemade and fabulous anti-aging masks…

Honey has many benefits when used on the skin. It’s an antioxidant and anti-microbial; it can treat minor irritations and sun burns.

To create a face mask using honey you can use it alone, one or a combination of these ingredients. Puree or mix the ingredients into a smooth or consistent paste and apply it to clean skin. You can also add 1-2 drops of essential oils or finely chopped herbs like mint, cinnamon, sage, nutmeg, parsley and etc. Leave the mask on anywhere from 5 – 60 minutes and rinse off with cool water. Tip: You can also use a bit of extra virgin olive oil to moisturize.

Homemade Honey Face Masks…

Use 1 tablespoon of organic honey with any of the following:

For Dry Skin
- Plain yogurt
- Avocado
- Banana

For Oily Skin
- Oatmeal
- Apple and Sage – Good for acne too
- Egg yolk. Use egg white alone to tone and tighten your skin. It’s good for normal to oily skin.
- Carrot

For All Skin Types
- Pear
- Pineapple
- Peach
- Strawberry
- Melon
- Cucumber and Almond Butter
- Orange
- Nectarine
- Watermelon

You can also use milk, brown sugar and honey as a gentle exfoliator.

There are many other combinations of face masks you can create at home. Don’t forget to test first as you don’t want end up with any allergic reaction which can happen.

Economy looks healthier, makes post-summer strides

Posted on October 25, 2011 by MarisueWrites

WASHINGTON — The economy appears slightly healthier than many had feared it was a few weeks ago, raising hopes that it can end the year on an upward slope.

Data released Thursday show layoffs are trending down to a six-month low and factories in the Mid-Atlantic are growing again after contracting for two months. Nevertheless, home sales fell, and the housing market is expected to weigh on the economy deep into 2012.

The outlook for the final six months of the year has improved from August, when many thought the economy was at growing risk of falling back into a recession. Other recent reports showed hiring picked up slightly in September and consumers boosted their spending on retail goods by the most since March.

Most economists now expect modest growth for the rest of this year. Still, they caution that it’s unlikely to be strong enough to significantly lower the unemployment rate, which has been stuck near 9 percent for more than two years. And a recession in Europe, which many now predict, could slow growth in 2012.

Reports Thursday were mostly positive:

• The average number of people applying for unemployment benefits each week over the past four weeks fell to 403,000, the Labor Department said.

• Manufacturing grew in the Philadelphia region in October after contracting for two straight months, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said.

• The Conference Board index of leading economic indicators rose 0.2 percent in September, the fifth consecutive gain for the index.

U.S. Economy Probably Picked Up in Third Quarter on Consumer Spending Gain

Posted on October 25, 2011 by MarisueWrites

Bulls Converge With Bears as Consumer Stock Valuations Soar

Supermarket operators, food producers and soapmakers in the MSCI World Index gained 3.1 percent in 2011 through Oct. 14 as the gauge for developed-market stocks lost 7.3 percent on concern the global economy is slowing.

The U.S. economy probably grew in the third quarter at the fastest pace this year, easing anxiety that the recovery was on the verge of stalling, economists said before a report this week.

Gross domestic product, the value of all goods and services produced, rose at a 2.5 percent annual rate after advancing 1.3 percent in the previous three months, according to the median forecast of 68 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before the Commerce Department’s Oct. 27 release. Orders for business equipment rose in September and new-home sales stabilized, other data may show.

Consumer spending last quarter may have climbed more than twice as fast as in the prior three months, helping the economy withstand the plunge in stocks caused by Europe’s debt crisis.

Nonetheless, the pace of growth has failed to cut unemployment, prompting Federal Reserve officials like Janet Yellen and Daniel Tarullo to say that more monetary stimulus may be needed.

“We’ve gotten a reversal of some of the bigger shocks that really restrained growth in the first half of year,” said Michael Hanson, a senior U.S. economist at Bank of America Corp.
in New York. “The economy could grow at the rates we see now or even better if we could avoid some of the shocks from Europe and the uncertainty around U.S. fiscal policy.”

The economy expanded at a 0.9 percent rate in the first half of 2011, the weakest since the recession ended in June 2009. The risk that one or more of the countries in the euro
zone would default helped trigger a plunge in stock values. The Standard Poor’s 500 Index fell 14 percent in the third quarter, the worst decline since the final three months of 2008.

With data showing growth has picked up, shares have climbed. The SP 500 is up 9.4 percent so far this month.

Consumer Confidence

The rebound may be helping household sentiment. The Conference Board’s consumer confidence gauge climbed in October for a second month, rising to 46.5 from 45.4, according to the median projection in a Bloomberg survey before the New York
group’s Oct. 25 report. Even with the gain, the measure is close to a two-year low as unemployment hovers around 9 percent.

“We continue to be cautious with respect to the magnitude and pace of the economic recovery both here in the U.S. and abroad and about the level of consumer confidence,” Todd Teske, chairman and chief executive officer at Briggs Stratton Corp. (BGG),
said on an Oct. 22 conference call with analysts.

Sales for the quarter ended Oct. 2 at the world’s largest maker of engines for outdoor power equipment rose 19 percent from the same three months in 2010, led by purchases of portable generators.

Gasoline Prices

Cheaper energy costs may have helped Americans spend on other goods and services in August and September even amid diminished confidence. The cost of a gallon of gasoline at the pump was $3.43 at the end of September, down 7.5 percent from the July high of $3.71, according to AAA, the largest U.S. auto organization.

Consumer purchases, which account for about 70 percent of the economy, increased at a 1.9 percent annual pace from July through September after gaining 0.7 percent in the second quarter, according to the median projection ahead of the Commerce Department’s GDP release.

Corporate investment in new equipment may have also contributed to the acceleration in growth last quarter. A report from the Commerce Department on Oct. 26 will show a 0.4 percent rise in September orders for durable goods excluding transportation equipment, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey.

New-Home Sales

The same day, another report from the Commerce Department may show new-home sales increased in September to a 300,000 annual rate from a six-month low 295,000 pace in August, a sign the industry is struggling to gain its footing.

Yellen, the Federal Reserve’s vice chairman, said on Oct. 21 that a third round of large-scale securities purchases may be necessary to boost the economy and spur hiring. A day earlier, Fed Governor Tarullo, said the central bank should consider resuming large-scale purchases of mortgage bonds to help combat a “crisis” in employment.

The residential real estate industry, since 1982, has aided every economic recovery except the current one that began in June 2009.

The Fed’s Open Market Committee announced Sept. 21 a plan to replace some debt in the central bank’s portfolio with longer-term Treasuries in an effort to cut borrowing costs.
Central bankers also said they would reinvest maturing housing debt into mortgage-backed securities. Housing weakness is a key reason for the “frustratingly slow pace of the recovery,” Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said during a Sept. 8 speech.

Berlusconi insists Italy economy sound, chides EU

Posted on October 25, 2011 by MarisueWrites

The Economy In Italy

ROME (AP) — Premier Silvio Berlusconi lashed out Monday at his German and French counterparts who demanded Italy introduce tough new measures to spur economic growth, chiding them for trying to “give lessons” to Rome and insisting Italy’s economy was stable.

Berlusconi’s pointedly critical statement came as he nevertheless summoned his Cabinet for an emergency meeting to discuss growth measures the European Union has demanded so Italy doesn’t get further dragged into Europe‘s debt crisis. The 17-nation eurozone has already been forced to bail out three of its weakest members — Greece, Ireland and Portugal — but could not handle a possible bailout of Italy, the eurozone’s third-largest economy.

The Cabinet meeting ended after more than two hours without any major announcements.

The EU wants Italy to reform its labor markets and its inefficient judicial system, considered a main impediment to foreign investment. But Italy’s bickering political parties have suffered near-paralysis when it comes to making substantive structural reforms.

Over the weekend, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel issued stern warnings to Berlusconi that he must do more.

Berlusconi, however, bristled at the criticism, saying Italy was already taking measures to cut its public debt and balance its budget by 2013. “No one in the EU can nominate themselves commissioner and speak in the name of elected governments,” he said. “No one can give lessons to EU partners.”

He criticized the French and German banking systems as needing reform and insisted Italy’s economy was so stable that “no one need fear Europe’s third-largest economy.”

That said, he urged Italy’s political factions to work together for the benefit of the country and Europe.

Italy has passed euro54 billion ($75 billion) in austerity measures aimed at balancing the budget by 2013, but implementation has been slow and the government has faltered on promised growth measures.

Ministers and lawmakers on Monday were debating measures aimed at raising the retirement age to match that of Germany, which is raising its retirement age to 67 for anyone born after 1964. However, any change in Italy’s retirement age will face fierce resistance from Berlusconi’s main political ally, the Northern League, whose constituency includes workers in Italy’s productive north. Unions also oppose raising the pension age.

Foreign Minister Franco Frattini insisted that reforming the pension system wouldn’t damage the rights of retirees. “We want to give people now in their 40s the possibility of having a pension in 20 years.” But he said the system must be reformed, noting “if it doesn’t change, the pension system will be unsustainable.”

A weekend EU summit failed to make tough decisions to tackle Europe’s growing debt crisis, but leaders pledged to lay out a concrete measures on Wednesday. They are likely to include actions to recapitalize Europe’s banks, which are expected to have to take steep losses on Greek debt, as well as boosting the eurozone bailout fund.

Italy is feared to be the next nation that could succumb to the crisis and bailing its euro1.9 trillion ($2.63 trillion) debt — nearly 120 percent of its GDP — would overwhelm the euro zone and threaten the entire global economy.

Berlusconi skipped a court hearing in his Milan corruption trial on Monday to work on meeting the EU’s demands after Italy got unwanted attention from Germany and France, Europe’s largest economies.

“We made it very clear that Italy is a big and important partner for the euro area and that everything needs to be done to live up to this responsibility,” Merkel told reporters after meeting with Berlusconi on Sunday.

“Trust does not just come from a firewall,” she added. “Italy has great economic power but Italy also has a very high overall debt level. And that was to be taken down in the coming years in a credible way.”

Italian officials were particularly irked by a shared smirk between Merkel and Sarkozy at the joint press conference when they were asked if they had received assurances from Berlusconi about reducing the public debt.

Frattini called the humiliation “inopportune” while the head of Italy’s industrial lobby, Emma Marcegaglia said it was “unacceptable.”

Italy’s borrowing costs to service its enormous debt have been rising over the past months as the government falters on economic reform. Bank of Italy governor Mario Draghi has warned that without quick action, the growing yields will eat up a significant portion of the austerity measures that Italy adopted in September under pressure from the European Central Bank, which Draghi will head from Nov. 1.

For weeks, the ECB has been buying up billions in Italian bonds, trying to keep Italy’s borrowing costs down.

Economy shows signs of health after summer slump

Posted on October 25, 2011 by MarisueWrites

Some Improvements in The Economy

WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy appears slightly healthier than many had feared it was a few weeks ago, raising hopes that it can end the year on an upward slope.

A raft of data Thursday show layoffs are trending down to a six-month low and factories in the Mid-Atlantic are growing again after contracting for two months. Nevertheless, home sales fell and the housing market is expected weigh on the economy deep into 2012.

The outlook for the final six months of the year has improved from August, when many thought the economy was at growing risk of falling back into a recession. Other recent reports showed hiring picked up slightly in September and consumers boosted their spending on retail goods by the most since March.

Most economists now expect modest growth for the rest of this year. Still, they caution that it’s unlikely to be strong enough to significantly lower the unemployment rate, which has been stuck near 9 percent for more than two years. And a recession in Europe, which many now predict, could slow growth in 2012.

Macroeconomic Advisers forecasts the economy will expand at an annual rate of 2.7 percent in the July-September quarter, and 2.6 percent in the final three months of the year. The government issues its first estimate for third-quarter growth on October 27.

“A recession now looks a lot less likely, but economic growth is still going to be pretty weak,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.

Reports Thursday were mostly positive:

— The average number of people applying for unemployment benefits each week over the past four weeks fell to 403,000, the Labor Department said. That’s the lowest level for the four-week average since mid-April. A month ago, it was 422,250.

— Manufacturing grew in the Philadelphia region in October after contracting for two straight months, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said. The October reading was the best for the Philly Fed‘s regional manufacturing index in six months.

— The Conference Board index of leading economic indicators rose 0.2 percent in September. It was the fifth consecutive gain for the index, although it was slightly weaker than increases in August and July.

The financial markets rose in morning trading after the Philly Fed report was released. They gave up most of their early gains after reports showed Europe is struggling to agree on a plan to address the region’s debt crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 37 points for the day.

Economists have been closely watching unemployment benefit applications since fears of another recession intensified this summer. Layoffs and applications tend to rise at the beginning of recessions.

“This decline in initial claims signals the potential for an improvement in the pace of job creation in October relative to recent months,” said John Ryding, an economist with RDQ Economics. “However, we are still waiting for that decisive move in claims below the 400,000 mark to send a stronger signal that payroll growth is running at a pace that will begin to make sustained inroads into unemployment.”

Job growth is critical to a housing recovery, which many economists say could be years away.

The number of Americans who bought previously occupied homes fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.91 million homes, the National Association of Realtors said. The pace matches last year’s sales figures, which were the worst since 1997.

Economists say home sales need to be closer to 6 million to be consistent with a healthy housing market.

“This is a significant barrier to recovery,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economists for High Frequency Economics.

Home sales are tumbling, even though mortgage rates are at record lows. This week, the average rate on the 30-year mortgage ticked down to 4.11 percent. Just two weeks ago, it fell below 4 percent for the first time ever.

Most people don’t want to go into debt to purchase depreciating assets, even if they can get low mortgage rates, Shepherdson said.

“Housing will recover in time as the labor market picks up and people start moving around the country to take up new jobs, but for now the market is dead,” he said.

Employers have added an average of only 72,000 jobs per month in the past five months. That’s far below the 100,000 per month needed to keep up with population growth. And it’s down from an average of 180,000 in the first four months of this year.

In September, employers added only 103,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate remained 9.1 percent for a third straight month.

Employers pulled back on hiring this spring, after rising gas prices cut into consumer spending and Japan’s March 11 earthquake disrupted supply chains. That slowed U.S. auto production.

Auto output has rebounded in the past couple of months and gas prices have come down from their peak in early May.

Despite the improvement, the economy faces a number of risks. Many economists now expect Europe to slide into recession by the end of this year, which could slow exports of U.S. goods and weaken growth.

And Congress has yet to commit to extending a Social Security tax cut and extended unemployment benefits that expire at the end of the year. Allowing them to expire could slow growth in the first three months of 2012, economists say.

Great news for every man in the world – Viagra

Posted on October 25, 2011 by MarisueWrites

Got Viagra?

For a large segment of males, impotence, erectile dysfunction, pre-mature ejaculation and sexual inability are a great problem. Everyone suffering from such complications has been looking for a remedy – rather a safer remedy. But, for decades, in most cases, people were either cheated by fake medicines or some herbal or non-herbal “medicines”, which cause tremendous adverse affect on man’s sexual health.

Some researchers in United States have been experimenting for years to invent the best possible method or medicine in helping the men overcoming sexual disorder. Finally, Nathans Natural [NN], which is a global herbal pharmaceutical company, which was established in 1999, has come up with the exciting news of their newest product named Viagrow. NN focuses on creating revolutionary herbal products to help treat various medical conditions. It maintains the highest standards with the effective natural ingredients used in its products. This not only makes NN products superior in quality, but it makes them safer to take. Viagrow is all-natural herbal supplement, a revolutionary top seller among competitive brands, making it the No.1 choice for those seeking effective sexual enhancement.

How Viagrow works?

The Erect Penis is engorged corpora cavernosa become rigid with trapped blood, causing an erection. An erection begins with sensory or mental stimulation, or both. Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause muscles in the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in. This rush of blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, causing the penis to expand. When muscles in the penis contract to stop the rush of blood and open outflow channels, erection is reversed. Viagrow works to increase blood flow to the penis, reducing prolactin and increasing testosterone, which is important for large, strong erections. But that’s just a part of what Viagrow provides you. Viagrow works like Viagra or Cialis, but also does much more.

The herbal ingredients in Viagrow’s unique formulation [Viagrow Ingredients] have a demonstrated positive effect on your erection, blood flow, and key areas of your overall health. They provide nutrients to assist male sexual performance [not just increase blood flow to the penis], as well as prevent many conditions that can cause erectile dysfunction and weakened male sexual performance.

Ingredients:

The Viagrow formula is made up of purely natural ingredients. This important fact gives you the confidence to use Viagrow without the worries of the unwanted side effects and health risks of RX male sexual enhancement products. Viagrow is safer than any prescription drug and at the same time has better immediate and long-term effects when compared to Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.

Moreover, since Viagrow is all-natural, you don’t need a doctor’s prescription to place an order. Viagrow uses a research-proven blend of 11 unique herbal ingredients, which work together to combat men’s erectile dysfunction. Take a look below at our exceptional combination of herbal ingredients, and discover how each ingredient combats erectile dysfunction and enhances your sexual performance.

The Viagrow formula is comprised of potent aphrodisiac herbal concentrates from China, Europe and South America.

The Viagrow ingredients come from growers with only the most potent plants from these regions. They are concentrated through a patented process that enhances them to superior quality. These herbs are concentrated 15 times more than the industry standard.

Yohimbe Bark Extract – 120mg
The terms yohimbine , yohimbine hydrochloride , and yohimbe bark extract are all related. Yohimbine is an active naturally found chemical (indole alkaloid) found in the bark of the Pausinystalia yohimbe tree. Yohimbine hydrochloride is a standardized form of yohimbine that is available as a prescription drug in the United States, and has been shown in human studies to be effective in the treatment of male impotence. Yohimbine hydrochloride has also been used for the treatment of sexual side effects caused by some antidepressants (SSRIs), female hyposexual disorder, and also acts as a blood pressure boosting agent in autonomic failure, xerostomia, and as a probe for noradrenergic activity.

Epimedium – 1mg
After centuries of use in the Far East, medical doctors now report that Epimedium can be effectively used to boost libido, improve erectile function, restore sexual power and increase sensation. Scientifically, Epimedium works by freeing up testosterone, which naturally increases sex drive and endurance. It contains an active ingredient called Icariin, which acts as an aphrodisiac. Icariin helps to inhibit PDE-5 in the body, just as Viagra does. Our medical research team in Switzerland has discovered that Epimedium also increases blood flow to the male organs. It does this by allowing the nitric oxide levels to increase, relaxing smooth muscles. It also acts as a mild PDE-5 inhibitor, which ike Viagra, reduces PDE-5 levels, at a level that doesn’t produce unwanted side effects. (Unlike Viagra).

Ashwagandha Root – 1mg
Ashwagandha is used as for sexual vitality, as an adaptogen, and as a sedative. Some refer to Ashwagandha as Indian ginseng, as it is used in ayurvedic medicine similar to how ginseng is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Ashwagandha is widely used in Ayurveda, an Indian system of holistic medicine. The root is primarily recognized for its adaptogenic properties. An adaptogen is a physiological agent with the ability to naturally increase the bodys resistance to emotional and physical stresses. Ayurvedic practitioners traditionally use Ashwagandha to promote gentle relaxation and emotional balance. We included Ashwagandha Root in Viagrow to act as a relaxing and stress reducing agent on the males body. By that we help the body build up an erection naturally.

Avena Sativa – 50mg
Avena sativa is quickly becoming a popular natural alternative to pharmaceutical erection enhancers without the dangerous side effects. Avena Sativa extract frees up bound testosterone in the blood, making it more active. Avena Sativa is used to stimulate both men and women quickly and effectively. In men it is effective for treating impotence and premature ejaculation. In women it increases sexual desire. It also contains compounds which are soothing to the brain and the nervous system.

Ginkgo Biloba – 60mg
Ginkgo biloba has been recognized as a brain tonic and can be responsible for enhancing memory, improving both short and long term memory, increasing reaction times and improving mental clarity. Because of these benefits of Ginkgo Biloba it is now used to treat elderly patients suffering with Alzheimer’s disease and other cerebral insufficiency symptoms. Other benefits of ginkgo biloba include reducing tension, anxiety, and restoring energy. We included Ginko Biloba in Viagrow to clear away mental and physical tension prior to a man’s sexual build up.

Korean Ginseng – 100mg
The main active ingredients of Korean ginseng are ginsenosides. These steroid-like phytochemicals have adaptogenic properties, which give ginseng the property to counter the effects of stress. The glycosides act on the adrenal glands, helping to prevent adrenal hypertrophy and excess corticosteroid production in response to stress. Ginsenosides increase protein synthesis and activity of neurotransmitters in the brain. Ginseng stimulates the formation of blood vessels and improves blood circulation in the brain thereby improving memory and cognitive abilities. Ginseng also improves the blood circulation in the male organs, in a way similar to Viagra. Ginseng is also used for diabetes, migraine, infections, radiation and chemotherapy protection, to aid in sleep, and to stimulate the appetite. Korean ginseng contains steroids such as panaxtriol. The steroids are remarkably similar in structure to anabolic steroids found naturally in our body. This makes Korean ginseng ideal for athletes and body builders looking for a natural alternative to anabolic steroids, and helps men seeking a natural way to achieve and erection and boost libido.

Maca – 50mg
Known as Peruvian Ginseng, which supports the glandular system. This herb serves two functions of sexual health: it enhances sexual performance and desire, as well as improves endurance and energy. Lepidium meyenii or maca is an herbaceous biennial plant or annual plant (some sources say a perennial plant) native to the high Andes of Bolivia and Peru. It is grown for its fleshy hypocotyl (actually a fused hypocotyl and taproot), which is used as a root vegetable and a medicinal herb. Its Spanish and Quechua names include maca-maca, maino, ayak chichira, and ayak willku. Maca has been harvested and used by humans in the Andean Mountains for centuries. It was eaten by Inca warriors before battles, and was used a form of payment of Spanish imperial taxes. A double-blind study by the Department of Urology, University of Ulsan College of Medicine attempted to study the “efficacy of Maca for erectile dysfunction.” Their conclusion was, “Our data shows that red ginseng is an effective alternative for treating male erectile dysfunction”. A key ingredient of Maca is ginsenoside, which alters blood flow to the brain and penis and can build blood flow and sperm. Russian scientists have reported that Ginseng stimulates both physical and mental activity, enhances athletic performance and has a positive effect on the sex glands. Used to combat impotence and premature ejaculation, Maca also helps normalize blood pressure while rejuvenating and revitalizing the body.

Muira Puama – 200mg
Muira puama, also called “potency wood,” is a small tree up to 15 feet in height native to the Brazilian Amazon. The bark and root are the primary parts of muira puama that are utilized. Indigenous peoples use muira puama for the therapy of impotency, fatigue, neuromuscular problems, and rheumatism. Muira puama’s botanical name is Ptychopetalum olacoides. Don’t be surprised if you see muira puama spelled in many different ways, including mara puama, marapuama, and marapama. The root and bark are used for a variety of ailments by indigenous peoples in the Rio Negro area of South America, and have become popular as herbal treatments for sexual dysfunction.

Saw Palmetto (Ptychopetalum) – 1mg
Saw palmetto extract is an extract of the fruit of Serenoa repens. It is rich in fatty acids and phytosterols, and has shown promise in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Native Americans used the fruit for food, but also in the treatment of a variety of urinary and reproductive system problems. The European colonists learned of the use of saw palmetto. It was used as a crude extract for at least 200 years for various conditions including asthenia (weakness), recovery from major illness, and urinary problems. For instance, the Eclectic physician H. W. Felter wrote of it, “Saw palmetto is a nerve sedative, expectorant, and a nutritive tonic, acting kindly upon the digestive tract…Its most direct action appears to be upon the reproductive organs when undergoing waste of tissue…” Saw palmetto, also known as Serenoa repens or Sabal serrulatum, is an herb that is most commonly used to treat problems related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The medicinal element of saw palmetto is taken from the partially dried ripe fruit of the American dwarf palm tree, which is indigenous to the coastal regions of the southern United States, from the Carolinas and Florida to California. BPH is a nearly universal result of the aging process in men. As the prostate gland enlarges, it can cause both obstructive and irritative symptoms; however, the size of the prostate gland is not predictive of the symptoms that patients experience. We included Saw palmetto in Viagrow for its male organ strengthening and anti-aging qualities.

Tribulus Terrestris – 1mg

Tribulus terrestris is a plant that grows in tropical climates. The most interesting part of the plant lies in the root. This plant has been used around the world for a variety of ailments. It has been used as an herbal supplement diuretic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and as a mood enhancing tonic. The most noted benefits of tribulus terrestris is its use in treating sexual deficiencies. It has been used in Asia and Bulgaria for years to treat libido and infertility problems. Tribulus terrestris is a non-hormonal herb that restores and improves libido in men as well as improving and prolonging the duration of erections. Tribulus terrestris also increases the sperm amount and speed. This is how it happens: Tribulus terrestris boosts testosterone levels by increasing luteininzing hormone (LH) levels. LH is the hormone that signals the body to start making natural testosterone. In a study involving individuals taking 750 mg per day of tribulus terrestris results showed that LH increased by 72%. Free testosterone increased by 41%. This increase in testosterone is the reason we included Tribulus Terrestris in Viagrow.

Amanda Knox’s Misery – An Innocent Victim?

Posted on October 25, 2011 by MarisueWrites

Is Amanda Knox Guilty or Innocent?

Site Author’s Comments:  We continue to wonder.  Is she telling the truth?  What really happened?  Is there justice for the dead?  This case continues to play out in the media, only time will tell, and perhaps Amanda’s story if ever fully told, will shed some light on this mystery.  Like most of us probably, I want to believe Amanda.  But this is a realtionship, that somehow went horribly wrong and we wonder…

____________________

Monday afternoon, amongst a courtroom filled with emotion, Amanda Knox was acquitted of the charges accusing her with the brutal murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, a scenic college town.

The Knox case has been closely followed by the news media since her arrest in 2007.
The world was captivated by her story labeling Knox as Foxy-Knoxy, angelic, diabolic, witch and she-devil as well as feeding into the notion of Knox as promiscuous sex feind.

Just like Casey Anthony’s twisted case, opinions of Knox’s innocence will fill news anchors banter for weeks to come.

Even before Knox has set foot on American soil rumors of movie deals are swirling. Noted director Michael Winterbottom is planning a movie about Knox featuring Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth, as a journalist following the case. The biggest question on every media organizations mind is who is going to snag the first interview, which will probably be worth more money than most hope to see in a lifetime.

For the past four years, Knox has been fighting to get her life back. As a 20-year-old foreign exchange student studying Italian, German and creative writing, Knox with limited knowledge of the Italian language and cultural differences was swept into a swarm of controversy with all fingers pointing at her and her boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito as the guilty parties.

Rudy Guede, the third suspect, was arrested and charged with the murder of Meredith Kercher in 2008. Guede’s fingerprints and DNA were at the scene of the crime, yet the idea of a strange sexual fetish and a confession had nailed Knox and Sollecito as guilty parties, relinquishing the fact that neither Knox or Sollecito’s DNA were present at the scene.

As the announcement of Knox’s innocence was given, the hysterics Knox displayed were difficult not to have a reaction to. Knox’s emotions were at the polar end of the spectrum from Casey Anthony’s stoic approach to her verdict. The now 24-year-old Knox collapsed in tears as her fate was given.

In her final statement spoken, in Italian, Knox said, “I’m not a promiscuous vamp. I’m not violent…I have not killed, I have not raped, I was not there, I was not present…I lost a friend, in the most brutal and inexplicable way possible…

My absolute faith in the police authorities was betrayed, I’ve had to face absolutely unfair…and baseless accusations. I am paying with my life for things I did not commit.”

While the frenzy of media attention will continue to track every move Knox makes for a long time to come, Kercher’s family still seek answers to why the decision holding Knox and Sollecito guilty that was made in 2009 was reversed. The Kercher family issued a statement following the verdict through a journalist close to the family, they said, “We respect the decision of the judges but we do not understand how the decision of the first trial could be so radically overturned.”

They also expressed that the horror of the crime had been lost in a media circus and focus on Knox, according to cnn.com.

The attention will continue to swarm around Amanda Knox and opinions of her innocence or guilt will hold strong, however the most important fact for the media to focus their attention on is the life of Meredith Kercher, an innocent victim of a horrendous crime.

Kelly Rowland criticised for flying back to US in middle of X Factor

Tempers Rise in the UK with X Factor Staff

By Sophie Eager – Oct 25, 2011, 10:39 GMT

X Factor judge Kelly Rowland has been slammed by sources on the show for flying back to the US after a fall-out with the other judges.

The 30-year-old took a flight back home to the US shortly after falling out with fellow judge Tulisa Contostavlos over their acts live on air.

However bosses are said to be unhappy about her decision as she won’t have a lot of time to spend with her three acts – Janet Devlin, Sophie Habibis and Misha Bryan.

A source said to UK newspaper The Sun: ‘As the contest heats up, she’s left the girls in the lurch all week. It’s very arrogant.’

Tulisa, 23, was reportedly planning to make up with Kelly after the show after she called one of Kelly’s acts ‘mean’ live on air.

A source added: ‘She was expecting to bury the hatchet with Kelly on Sunday night. Kelly was having none of it.

‘She had a major sense-of-humour failure – and was trying to suggest Tulisa was deliberately trying to destabilise her. Tulisa’s not going to go crawling to Kelly – she’s too stubborn for that.’

X Factor UK apologises after Frankie Cocozza tells Gary to ‘f***** have it’

Posted on October 25, 2011 by MarisueWrites

X Factor UK Gets Hot and Words Fly

The teen was visibly shocked to have avoided the bottom two after being forced to sing for survival against Nu Vibe the previous week, and leaped into mentor Gary Barlow’s arms, yelling: ‘F*****g have it! Get in there!’

His expletive-ridden yelp was picked up on by many keen-eared X Factor fans, but no apology was made by Dermot O’Leary or the judges at the time – though Olly Murs later reminded him of the incident on The Xtra Factor.

An X Factor spokesperson said: ‘Emotions were running high during the live show and we apologise if any potentially offensive language was audible.

‘All the contestants are reminded of their responsibilities regarding language on the live shows.’

Cocozza has proved a controversial X factor contestant, showing the judges his bum during auditions and the list of conquests tattooed on it.

ITV are believed not to have issued an apology during the live show as the swear word was not clearly audible, but by the next day they had received 20 complaints.
