Those of us who have so-called “genital herpes” are caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand we are ostracized by the minority of the population (about 40%) who don’t currently have herpes simplex in their body, which is bad enough, but more cruelly we are often isolated by our fellow members of the herpes community who have so-called cold sores (heroes simplex 1 of the mouth and face). Frankly the lack of support form the majority of population who has cold sores bothers me far more than the stigma placed on me by unsympathetic members of the uninfected population. After-all they don’t know what it feels like to have herpes so I can cut them some slack. But for those of you who have cold sores and continue pretending that you don’t have herpes and who distance yourselves from those who have their outbreaks genitally rather than facially- shame on you. If it wasn’t for your unwillingness to come to terms with the reality of your herpes infection, the herpes community would be a more united majority of the population far more empowered to boldly go out into the community and reject the unjust and irrational stigma placed on people with herpes.

Sixty percent of the population has herpes. We are living in a herpes nation. There is no reason for us to be a despised minority. If we were more united and more out of the closet we would be in a so much better position to inspire understanding and support from those who do not have herpes. We would be better able to educate young people on herpes prevention and herpes awareness. We would be better able to reach out to the people with herpes who have had their self-esteem devastated.

So-called cold sores are herpes. I have had too many people in my clinic and through the Internet say to me, “I don’t have herpes, I’ve never had an STD, but I do get these cold sores on my lips”.

Herpes is herpes whether you get your outbreaks above the waist or below the waist. It’s true that people with type 1 herpes of the mouth and face often have fewer outbreaks than people with herpes type 2 of the genitals, but it is also true that herpes of the mouth and face is just as contagious if not more so than genital herpes. It is also true that many people with type 1 herpes of the mouth and face shed virus without symptoms and are giving many people type 1 herpes on their genitals from oral sex. It is also true that herpes of the mouth and face can spread to parts of the body that genital herpes rarely ever spreads to including the nostrils and into the brain, the hands and fingers, down the esophagus and into the stomach, into the eyes, and elsewhere.

For those who don’t have herpes and give people with herpes a rough time, I really have no words for you. If you believe that having genital herpes is an indication of promiscuity or moral deficiency then you are probably too far-gone for anything I say here to reach you. And for the record I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with promiscuity. I got my herpes in the context of a monogamous relationship but I wouldn’t feel bad about myself if I had been infected by herpes through promiscuity. How you got herpes is irrelevant. Herpes is a virus. Viruses have different strategies for gaining access to our bodies. A virus that chooses sex as it’s preferred method of infection is less scary to me than an airborne virus that indiscriminately devastates huge populations in a matter of days.

Jesus said “let he is who is without sin cast the first stone”. I say let he or she who is without a virus cast the first stone. Between the Chicken-Pox virus (a member of the herpes family), the Epstein-Barr virus (another member of the herpes family), the HPV virus (genital warts and cervical dysplasia) and Herpes Simplex there is virtually no adult reading this article who doesn’t currently have a virus in their body and except for the HPV virus, these viruses are lifelong infections and that’s without even discussing bacteria, fungi, yeast, and protozoa.

Herpes has been around since the time of the dinosaurs and affects akmost every animal with a backbone including cats and elephants and many animals without a backbone. In fact cats and elephants are dying of herpes. I know that cats can be randy but I have never heard of anyone accusing elephants of being promiscuous. If anyone has ever seen an elephant orgy let me know so that I can print a retraction.

When someone has the integrity and courage to tell you that they have herpes they are making themselves vulnerable to you. How you react can often either crush them or help set them free from a prison of shame. I believe that most people are intelligent and compassionate. Please treat people with herpes with the compassion and understanding we deserve. We are the same people we were before we got herpes. We are no less moral, no less attractiv, just as good in bed, just as good of a friend or son or daughter or brother or sister as we were before we got herpes. When someone tells you they have herpes if you treat them unsympathetically it only discourages them for telling others about their herpes in the future, which isn’t a good situation for anyone. When someone tells you they have herpes it’s an opportunity and challenge to you to show that you are not prejudiced and mean-spirited. It is a chance for us all to create more love and understanding.

For those of us who have genital herpes - don’t buy into the lies and myths that make you ashamed and marginalized. You can choose not to let herpes define you and dominate your life. No one can take away your power and dignity except for yourself.

When someone gives you a bad time for having herpes instead of dwelling too long in anger or sadness, just “forgive them for they know not what they do”. Embrace all the beauty and love around you and if there isn’t enough beauty and love, create it. You are a human being equipped with infinite potential for loving and appreciating the wonders of this world.

Not so long a go it seemed like laptops for gaming were exclusively attainable from particular retailers and they were normally built to order. The shipments were in no terms very amazing but they did make great profit on each laptop than others. They were the type of notebook computer everyone craved but the one they just couldn’t purchase. They the the latest technology and simply the best laptop computers. They typically created tons of excitement however I don’t think many buyers would go out and buy laptop computers at high prices. The primary companies have recently begun taking advantage of enormous opportunities in gaming laptops, so that is all shifting.

If mass produced, brands can generate massive markups on gaming portables. As the markup on mid range laptops have gotten so small, producing specialized gaming notebook computers is one strategy to render a larger gross profit. Why would anybody buy laptop computers like this? I think big companies have the marketing spend to answer that. Do the little companies realistically have a chance with this form of threat? The high end technology will rapidly make its path into the view of the mass consumers. Local manufacturers can’t possibly use a brand name like the bigger competitors could.

The excitement being generated concerning the new branded gaming notebook computers is making potential prospects perceive them as being the best laptop computers ever. This is a prime opportunity the littler competition must use to their advantage. This is a huge selling feature that has to be mentioned. I think the consumers that buy gaming laptops typically know what they’re searching for. For these sort of purchasers, the power of a laptop typically mean more than the physical beauty of it. This would be looked at as a positive change for the gamer. A method that the local retailers may employ is to trim markup in to shift greater numbers of units. Don’t take my word for it however as anything could happen in the notebook computer market. Whether technology prices will decline on the whole is an additional topic however the best laptop computers are normally over priced. Although I still believe effects will be good because of the saturated market, we’ll have to watch.

I think this place (http://www.rizeon.com) are quite good value for the notebooks they are offering.

There are currently over 100 billion dollars sold in weight-loss and energy products each year. Weight-loss is a very serious and emotional issue. In fact, it’s so big that doctors and scientists are referring to it as “catastrophic” in nature. Despite the efforts of researchers world over, North America is facing a “fat epidemic.”

With that good news said, keep in mind the cause of all disorder and disease: toxemia and malnutrition. With those two factors addressed, one cannot but improve their health and lose unwanted fat and inches; as obesity is definitely indicative of health issues.

How does one detoxify and nourish their bodies? Lots of ways. Let’s focus on diet.

Of course you’ve heard to drink lots of purified water a day. That was good advice, as water helps cleanse all sorts of impurities from our systems. Impurities that impede good thyroid function and metabolism.

Enzymes are also crucial and they can only be found in raw foods. Did you know that farmers years ago (and probably still) used to feed their pigs cooked potatoes to encourage weight gain? It’s true. And if they wanted their pigs to trim down they would feed them raw potatoes. The difference was in the enzyme content of the live, raw potato.

While we wouldn’t want to binge on raw potatoes, the above is a good illustration of the need to upgrade our diets to include plenty of fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds in their raw format. When eating cooked foods, ingesting plant-based enzymes also ensures complete digestion.

When digestion is not complete, residues remain, leading to more toxins and poorer metabolism. Our favorite plant based enzyme formula can be found here: digestive enzymes

So, with more water and more raw foods in our diet, another good idea would be to cleanse the system with gentle oxygen colon cleansing. These colon cleansers help remove the built-up poisons from possibly years of neglect. And though there’s lots of material about colon cleansing and psyllium, we prefer a less aggressive method using oxygen and magnesium.
Oxygen Colon Cleansers

And we would be amiss if we didn’t encourage you to as your physician their opinion regarding any diet if you are pregnant, nursing or have any medical condition.

See if you can’t be the next living example of the benefits pure diet for weight loss and natural cleansing.

I always thought weight loss was only possible by eating a very strict diet, intense exercise in the gym, or a combination of the two. While both are necessary to an extent, there was something I recently stumbled across in an ebook called “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle”, by Tom Venuto, which took me completely by surprise: you can actually eat more and still lose weight! The catch is that you have to do it right…

Most Americans are accustomed to eating 3 meals a day, but it is much better to eat 5 or 6 meals a day if you want to lose weight! The catch is that they need to be smaller meals than you might be accustomed to. Take the typical foot long Subway Sandwich, for example. Instead of eating the whole thing in one setting at lunch or dinner, you would be much better off eating the first half for lunch, and saving the second half for dinner. This will help your body metabolize the food more efficiently.

It is, of course, necessary to try and eat as healthy as possible, but the key is to divide your three “big” meals into five to six smaller meals. Tom Venuto recommends that if you are a man, you should eat 6 meals a day, and if you are a woman, you should 5 meals a day. Ideally, you should try and space these apart in three hour increments, but if this does not work for you, two hours between meals should suffice.

While this is a great starting point to help you on your way to a better body, there are many other strategies you need to be familiar with to lose weight, and Tom covers them all in Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, which is backed by a 60 day money back guarantee. Below is a link to his ebook:

Whenever you are starting a new business online one of the toughest things to do is to focus all of your attention on that one business. Alot of people find themselves jumping from business to business because the results don’t come quick enough. Actually the truth in what you are doing is really just jumping from idea to idea. You truly aren’t actually running a business but just filling your time and distracting yourself from being successful. Creating and making a business successful takes 1. Time. 2. Effort. 3. And finally it requires you not to dump it and stop working on it just because a month after launch you have not made as many sales as you would have liked to.

Some people and even I are guilty of this. We will take an idea, develop it for 3 months or so and then put it online thinking it will be an instant success. When it doesn’t take off right away we dump it and jump onto our next great idea. Usually before doing any effective marketing or promotions to get people to our website. Now if they don’t know you are there, then how will they ever come to your site. It is like a new video store opening up down the street. If you never walk in that direction you will never know that it is there and you will never gone in to it, right? Though if that video store had sent you a flyer then you probably would have checked it out. You likely would have also rented a movie or two.

Alot of people like to build and develop an idea and then drop it after 3 months, then they do it all over again. Just think how successful you would be if you worked on your first idea for 12 months instead of spreading yourself out and working on 4 ideas in that time span. I bet you anything that you would be successful today!

You have to organize your thoughts and your goals so that you can see what you want to achieve with your business. Then build a realistic timeline for this so that you don’t give up so quickly. Give it the time that it needs to grow. Another important factor is to stay focused at the business at hand. Even if you come up with what seems to be the next “great thing”, write it down and put it away. You have to stay focused and put all of your time as well as your effort towards your business.

Imagine, that you were the first man or woman on earth.

Imagine that there really is a God who has the power to create life. He snaps his fingers and creates a Man, Adam. Then, so the man will not be lonely, God creates a woman, Eve.

Imagine that God places you in a huge tropical garden, filled with all kinds of fruit trees and succulent plants that are good for food. Imagine that everything was designed for your benefit.

Imagine that there was nothing hostile about this place. You can talk to the animals and they talk back and you understand them. They are all your friends or pets. From the largest dinosaur, to the smallest frog, they are friendly.

You know nothing about fire or cooking. Do you think that God would have created a frying pan, showed you how to build a fire, and told you to cook everything you eat?

I don’t think so. In fact I don’t think mankind knew what fire was in the beginning. I am sure that Adam and Eve never saw fire before they were removed from the garden, and perhaps not in their lifetime.

It is highly likely that mankind did not know anything about fire until after the worldwide flood, but that is another story.

In my mind I see us walking around the garden to see what was ripe. I believe we were created with a sweet tooth. I believe that we instinctively new when something was ready to eat.

In my mind I see us finding a tree with ripe fruit we like. I see us eating our fill of whatever fruit or plant we were walking past when we were hungry. Knowing what I know about health I would guess that the first man and woman would never have known what most humans think of as hunger today.

If we did not like the taste of what we found, I can see us walking on without a care or worry, until we found something we liked, and making a meal of it.
I can picture that, not everything would be ripe at the same time.

From the evidence, and based on the fact that everything tends to get worse, I would guess that we were well over 7 feet tall and that our natural gait would move us at 5 to 6 miles per hour.

I can see us playing like young horses in the grass. We could eat a meal of oranges in the morning and walk 10 or 20 miles before noon, and stop to eat some bananas for lunch. I can picture us having the energy of those young horses. I can see us running along side them just for the sheer joy of it.

Then I see us sitting under a pear tree, eating our fill and sleeping the night through without a care of a fear.

What I don’t see as I imagine us in the garden, is us gathering up a large variety of foods to make up a meal. What I don’t see is us, worrying about disease, or anything else.

According to the Bible, that all changed with one act.

In my mind I see us getting board with nothing to worry about. With nothing to fear and practically nothing to do beside roaming around from one meal to the next and enjoying the beauty all around us, I can see how we could get board and want to push the boundaries a little.

I can imagine that when the serpent, who Eve had talked to many times in the past, started to reason with Eve, (She had never experienced pain or much in the way of consequences for her actions) telling her that it was really OK for her to eat the forbidden fruit, that she may not have had a basis to fear. She was nave.

God had never done anything to them, but bless and encourage them, other than telling them not to eat from that tree.

I can imagine Eve thinking, we spend most of our time playing with our animal friends, why should I fear what God says? So she listens to Satan. She plucks the forbidden fruit. She takes a bit, and nothing happens. It tastes good.

She comes to me and says, Look Adam dear, I have eaten the forbidden fruit, and nothing has happened to me. Why don’t you try some?

So I take a bite. The parrot that was sitting on my shoulder talking to me flies away and will not listen to me as I call it. I see my friend the Lion grab my friend the dear, and kill her. He looks over at me and says, “you are next buster”. Then he bellows out a terrible roar and I can no longer understand him.

My friend, the horse I spent much of my time with, runs from me as I approach, and will not come at my call.

We look down at ourselves and realize that we are naked, that we have really screwed up. We try to hide our nakedness as we hear God coming.

God talks to us. We stare at our toes. God says that, because you disobeyed me, after today you will not be able to talk to me, or the animals I have created to share this world you, as you have in the past. As God spoke the world into existence he says let the earth bring forth briars and thistles. Let your favorite berries bring for the thorns. The animals will now fear you.

You would now have to fight to gain the acceptance of any of my creatures. And even if you do gain their trust, it can now be lost easily, because they will not speak the same language as you. Many of them will now seek to kill you rather than running from you. You have made your choice. Now you will suffer the consequences.

You don’t have to be sick.

The druids were extremely sexual and uninhibited. If you think the druids cant teach you much above how to enhance your sex life think again!

Although Druids are considered pagan by the Christian Church, many (and a great many) of their practices has been introduced into our society today.

In fact, the entire Christian calendar is full of Druidic holidays. There were two times of the year that specifically apply to this essay. The first is Samhuinn, from October 31st to November 2nd, and the second is Beltane on May the 1st.

Ininhibited Sexual Activity

Samhuinn was a time that for three days, all order was allowed to brake down, and there was as can be expected, uninhibited sexual activity. For the Beltane festival, it was a time for the mating of animals, and the fertility of young women. The evening twin bonfires, wild music, free-flowing spirits and dance made the ambiance for sexual union between couples almost irresistible.

To discern what was practiced, we must look what the early Church fathers were forbidding. In the prohibitions we discover the practice.

For the first missionaries, who were for the most part, still Jewish, there was (and still is for all Orthodox Jews) one sexual position; the “missionary”. The two positions you will find below, were strictly forbidden, but in truth, normal in every way.

During the Samhuinn there was no time for orderly and relaxed sexual encounters were out of the question.They were very sexually uninhibited! Here are some examples:

As Does the Deer

Here is the basic Druidic position, were both are standing. The woman will bend over and hold on to some object to support her during the man’s thrusting. She would spread her legs wide apart, and the man would remove the clothing only to the side of the genital area, and with his own feet slight spread apart (for balance) he would enter her from the rear, and begin thrusting.

He would further bend over himself, across and on top of the woman’s back, and have his hands free to fondle her breast and/or clitoris. The quick thrusting would last about 10 to 12 minutes, and the man would finish quickly. Time was at a premium, and this is perhaps the original “quickie”

This is an exciting and effective position, and useful in cramped spaces, say an elevator or restroom, or out in the open, as was obviously practiced by the Druids at this time of “un-rule” or anarchy.

Sacrifice at the Alter

It seems the Church fathers especially found this position offensive. Perhaps the nature of it, or the name. However, when examined from a serological and physiological point of view, it is quite effective. It is very stimulating for the clitoral area, the G-spot and AFE Zone.

The woman is placed on her back on a table or some structure that allows the man to stand in front of her, in position. The woman’s legs are raised half way to her chest, no more, and the man can hold on to her calf’s, or under her knees. He then penetrates her, and she raises her buttons slightly to accommodate him for maximum penetration. Thrusting should be slow and rhythmical, and it will soon become obvious of the woman’s pleasure with this sexual position. The man also will find he can delay his climax also, and the average time of copulation can be over 20 minutes, and perhaps longer.

The man has a wonderful and explicit view of the woman’s genital area, and she, if raising her neck slightly (and is so interested) can also see the man at his actions.

This may be performed at home on a high bed, or table, if some padding (a blanket perhaps) is used for the woman’s comfort. It has been reported that some models of automobiles afford the possibility as well, using the hood (engine cover) in place of a table or rock.

The druids were an extremely sexual people and some of the positions above you will find will nehance your sex life for both you and your partner.

Every new business, or every business that does something new, needs to put their best foot forward and present themselves through a press release. The press release is an announcement of what you are doing or what you can offer. They are written by you or for you to portray your new service or exciting new product or to say that you are doing business in such a manner. The announcement or press release is not geared towards the public but is geared towards the press who will then present news worthy information to their public.

If you plan to have a press release written for your company, you can do this through a number of means. You should consider hiring an individual or a company to write the press release for you. This will allow it to be of high quality as well as effective in announcing your news. If you do it yourself, plan to gather useful information about the structure of the press release. You will want to have it set up properly and focused on delivering the most effective announcement that it can. It will either interest the press or it won’t.

A press release can be purchased through many groups and individuals on the web. You will find that many companies look towards well established companies to write press releases as they are such an important marketing tool for any business. Turning a wide range of people on to your product and service is quite possible and quite worthy. Also, look for a company that will distribute the press release for you so that the right people get it into their hands. The press release should be presented in several sources but by far the most popular is through the web. For examples of a press release, check out those that are everywhere on the web.
