We are all just human. Each of us has our own set of character flaws or character defects. There are many people that wear masks, if you will, and they wear different ones for different people. There seems to be this mystification of projecting the right image to prospects in the dating world. Lets be honest, do you really want to attract a member of the opposite sex or whatever your sexual preference might be by projecting a fantasy that Don Juan couldn t live up to. You can t keep it up forever, and even if you could, it s not real. This applies to many smokers out there as well; especially those that are involved in the dating scene. Smoking seems to be one of those red flags or character flaws we would just as soon not publicize to our field of potential significant partners, at least in the beginning. So many of us feel as though we are being forced to be dishonest about our smoking just to be considered as a possibility in the eyes of that perfect match ...

What happened to the time. When we are busy in our day-to-day lives, it sometimes seems that whole seasons pass in a blink. And the goals we have well, they can easily slip by in that blur too. You want to WAKE UP: to get control of your time and meet your goals. In coaching we sometimes talk about our lives being in process. That is, our lives are constantly flowing forward over and around the highs and lows of our everyday experience, like a river. As humans we often try to minimize those ups and downs: We plan for the future, we dwell on the past, and thus avoid experiencing the emotion at this present moment. As a result we dampen our aliveness and sort of zone out. No wonder we suddenly wake up to realize minutes, even days or weeks, have passed us by. Have you ever had the experience of driving a car only to find yourself suddenly at your destination. Where have you been. Not present, that s for sure. But really, what does it mean to be present in your...

It seems like only yesterday when Direct-to-Consumer Advertising DTCA of prescription drugs didn t exist. Let s take a look at the history of this practice and see if we can explain how this all came about. The times just weren t right. But in 1981, a few drug companies made small forays into this unchartered territory. The reaction of the Food and Drug Administration FDA was to impose a moratorium on all DTCA so it could research the issue. After a few years, the moratorium was lifted, but essentially it only allowed print advertising in magazines and the like. But it took 14 more years before the FDA issued rules on how to undertake TV advertising. The answer is in the fine print - the fine print in this case being the package insert or the full prescribing information you know, that little folded up piece of paper that comes in drug boxes and magically opens into something the size of a towel. More specifically, the fine print refers to the so-called brief...

Baby colic is one of the most common conditions for week-old to 3-month old infants. Definitive causes of the ailment have not yet been identified, however, it is not a matter of serious concern. Babies outgrow colic by the time they reach the age of 6 months. The Rule of Three is often used to determine whether or not the infant is suffering from colic. I will attempt to give you a picture of what is meant by rule of three , then observe your child s behavior. If a baby cries for three hours or more, thrice a week for three consecutive weeks, then he is most likely to have this condition. The healthy yet distressed and inconsolable baby usually becomes irritable and cries for no apparent reason usually after meals or in the late afternoons and evenings. The discomfort of crying too much may cause the infant s face to turn red. Gas releases become more frequent. The stomach or abdomen becomes bloated, causing the baby to bring its legs towards its chest. Other...

For some people art is just something you put on your refrigerator doors. It is something you have to do for schoolwork, or to while your time away. In truth, there truly is something beneath the surface of art that will tantalize every student and teacher. And this is the truth behind art education. Art Education is the means by which a student gains an understanding of form and design. An education in the arts is typically divided into three areas - the fine arts, such as music, drama, sculpture or painting, the general arts, programs such as education, criminology, etc, and design, such as graphic design, web design, or interior design. Art has a great power to influence people. It also has a significant effect on the history of man. Art may seem like it is just something pretty, but under the hood it boasts of a pretty powerful engine. One that has shaped the world, and indeed your very life. You can t go one day in the span of your life without being...
