Today, it seems people spend a lot of time, energy and money trying to maintain a youthful look. The store shelves are lines with miracle products claiming they will keep you looking young and beautiful, despite your current condition or age. Do any of products actually deliver? No. There is no miracle product that will keep you looking young forever, however, taking good care of your skin will keep you looking and feeling fresh and healthy no matter your age.

Wrinkle Prevention

As you age, facial wrinkles will appear. Skin cells begin to die at a rate faster than your body can create new ones. Skin loses elasticity and fine lines appear. There are several factors that can increase the appearance of lines and wrinkles, including sun, diet and anxiety. These factors increase free radical damage which, in turn, causes premature aging. To prevent wrinkles, it is important that you understand what causes them.

sun Protection

The sun is a major factor in premature aging. The best defense against aging is to protect your skin from the sun. Although a little sun exposure is good for us, it is best to apply a moisturizer with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher to reduce premature wrinkles. An SPF should be applied year-round since UVA/UVB rays are present during the winter months as well. If possible, avoid the sun during the middle of the day during the summer, and wear a hat when you are outside.

Diet

Certain foods are particularly beneficial in warding off premature wrinkles. These include omega 3 fatty acids (found in food such as salmon and flax seeds), vitamin C (found in blueberries, strawberries and citrus fruits), vitamin E (found in many seeds), and anything containing antioxidants (such as green tea).

Stress and anxiety

Stress and anxiety have been shown to advance the aging process. Most of us arent in a situation where we could quit our stressful jobs, but there are ways to reduce your stress level. Try activities that you enjoy, such as walking, swimming, dance classes, karate, yoga, etc.

Natural Skin Care

Be wary of those that recommend treating skin conditions with medications with potentially irritating side effects, such as cortisone. Instead, first try natural alternatives when treating your skin for burns, eczema, acne, sunburn, or other conditions. Following are natural alternatives to use for treating skin conditions:

• Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is a natural plant used to heal skin conditions without side effects. In particular, it is used to treat skin conditions such as cuts, burns and eczema to ease pain and reduce inflammation. Aloe Vera can found in a gel form or purchased as a plant where you can break a leaf off the plant as needed. It should be applied liberally for as long as needed.
• Emu oil. Emu oil is used topically to soften skin and is frequently found in ointments for dry cracked heels. studies have shown it is effective in reducing scar formation in healed burned wounds. Since Emu oil contains traces of three of the essential fatty acids Omega 3, Omega 6, and Omega 9 the oil is used to treat many skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, shingles, rosacea, skin irritations and dry skin.
• Red clover. Red clover is effective in treating skin conditions caused by heat and dryness, such as allergic dermatitis and eczema.
• Neem. Neem is a plant that is similar to Aloe Vera and just as beneficial in treating various skin disorders. In particular, Neem oil is useful for skin care such as acne, and keeping skin elasticity.

Before investing money in so-called miracle products, try some natural alternatives for treating skin conditions.

For years I was a overweight kid, who used to keep his coat on at school I was so ashamed of my weight. I used to help my parents with the weekly shopping, go home and eat as well as my dinner I had already had. Being picked on at school, and jibes later on in life really didn't make me see it can all be so much better and each day with that weight off my shoulder gone for good.

now I have lost around 2 stone, I feel so much lighter and wish I had done something about it at school, but with low confidence and all sorts of other things on a kids mind, exercise for some reason didn't seem obvious. My parents are fantastic but saw it as a way of learning for myself which sounds harsh, but they meant well.

So many friends ask me whats the best way to lose weight fast and how I did it. It was my brother who is a personal Trainer who told me about the more scientific approach which is not boring, but really interesting. The diet is called the Negative Calories diet and works by introducing around 100 different types of food , which take more calories to digest than they contain themselves, and you don't end up hungry.

One main example are a handful of nuts. For people who are looking to loose weight, they think nuts are really fattening. This is true if you eat to many, but due to the type of unsaturated fat in them , they do you the world of good. Combined with a glass of water, will fill you up for a couple of hours. If you don't like nuts, then the diet contains lots more food which you do like and I love my food! now I eat when and what I want.

A lot of our friends are luckily enough to have a metabolism where they either burn off calories without even trying, very frustrating when I was starting to look into loosing weight.

It wasn't until I changed what and how I ate that things started to change and wow did they change and I don't mean just lettuce and water. I didn't need to push myself to the limit in the gym, running or even kickboxing even though I do enjoy those things now, I don't have half as much weight to carry. It's Great!

A trick I learn when looking at chocolate, biscuits and think.. hmm is to hold that chocolate or packet of biscuits in my hand and think... thats the weight which would be going on my body... mostly hips for females it seems, tummy on us guys. It actually works... 90% of the time, you put it back down again and feel great! to be able to resist and feel good about yourself.

What's best of all is, the diet actually WORKS! The program will help you loose a huge amount of weight. It works by selecting around 100 different foods which actually take more calories to digest, than they contain themselves. now I sleep without worrying, stressing and generally concerned what the dress I purchased at the weekend, actually looks on me. Read more today on how to lose weight fast

If I can do it, anyone can. Good Luck.

For some time now, many a homeowner feels they have installed lighting everywhere they could possibly need it: In the closets, over the bathroom sink, over the stove top, and sometimes even in the oven. There are lights for the fish tank, the garage, and even the children's desks. but there is one area that has been in the dark far too long.

How many times have you found yourself looking for a certain pot or pan, but it seems to hide in the shadows? How many times have you looked for the perfect spice, but missed it due to the label being hard to read? And how many times have you been caught with the last square of toilet paper, so you desperately search the bathroom cabinet while trying to stay seated - and the new roll appears to be hiding from you?

Well, a new innovation that has been on the market for a short while is available to you to solve all of these painful experiences, and more: Under-cabinet halogen lighting. This kit is the answer to not seeing well inside your kitchen and/or bathroom cabinets, fumbling around aimlessly for what you need.

If you are interested in solving your lighting needs by yourself, a low voltage system is the way you will want to go. If you want to go with the higher-voltage, it will require the aide of a specialist to help you get the job done right and safely. Low voltage can be installed by any do-it-your-selfer. Another great bonus to a low-voltage system is that is is operated by a remotely controlled wall-mounted switch which looks as good as the permanent system and can be installed in as little as a day.

To begin, you will need a drill, keyhole saw, screwdriver, a wire stripper, a few connecting wires and the lights (with included transformer). Once you have the kit and necessary tools in place, determine the location for each light so that it won't shine in your eyes while you work. Also remember that halogen lights do produce heat, so installing on to wooden cabinets is fine, but keep the lit bulbs away from paper and plastic items

Once you have determined where to install your lights, remember to remove the lens and trim rings from each light. install with screws to underside of your cabinets. Make a note to align the lights bases so they all face the same direction. Next, Drill small holes for the wires and feed them towards the power block inside the cabinet. Connect wires to power block. now, connect power block to transformer and run a wire to your 120-volt receptacle.

Once the bases are installed, just snap the lens covers onto reflector rings. Next, attach the switch anywhere you choose (keep in mind its wireless) by screwing it into the wall, preferably at a stud. Finally, screw the cover plate to the switch housing and your cabinet lighting dilemma over! Congratulations!

golf course management is very significant to a player, whether they are a seasoned pro or a novice. Knowing the distance to the hole and what kind of club to use can make or break your round of golf. But weather conditions are another real significant consideration when you are out on the golf course playing your favorite sport.

How do weather conditions effect your game? Wet, dry, windy, calm, all very important considerations when choosing how to manage a golf course. A huge consideration in picking the right golf club is the wind, the side the wind is blowing from will have a huge affect on the direction a round of golf takes better than any other weather related factor. when facing a strong wind a player has to determine the direction and strength in an attempt to pick the correct club to select and right approach shot.

Against a stiff wind a golfer might decide to either hit a club much harder or they might decide to go with a longer club, swinging the club harder can produce very erratic outcomes. When a golfer decides to swing a club stronger than normal many more times than not the desired ball flight is not realized because of the magnified effort in swinging the club faster, this address produces to many more opportunities for the swing to go wrong.

A swing that goes bad is a swing that has deviated from the proper swing plane and cannot meet the golf ball right producing miss hits, pushes, and hooks. An good way to avoid this problem when facing into a strong wind to to just pick a higher club, instead of a six iron use a five iron. The benefit of using a lower club means that the player can use their usual swing and still accomplish the same results.

The same is true for golf shots when the wind is at their back, in this circumstance the wind will actually assist a player gain increased yardage than is normal and so choosing a higher club may get the results wanted. If a player normally swings a seven iron to accomplish a distance of 150 yards, with a hard wind behind you, you might want to try using an eight iron to get the same ball distance.

Also considerations should be taken when faced with strong side winds, aiming adjustments have to be taken into consideration as the wind can push your shot from one side to the other if it is blowing hard enough. Then things like sand traps and water hazards can come into play with a hard wind. A sand trap that normally wouldn't cause a golfer interference could move into play if the wind is moving the ball in the sand traps direction.

Also a big component in managing a golf course is moisture, or how dry or wet the greens and fairways are. Get to the golf course early while the sprinklers are still going, or arrive after it has rained and you will find hard to hit fairways and very slow greens. For the mushy fairway many golfers have a difficult time hitting the golf ball while it is on a soaked fairway, hitting a golf ball with a solid stroke and lifting it up in the air gets much more difficult because of the additional resistance of the soaked grass.

At the far end of the fairway we find the putting green, a putting green that has been soaked is also very slow. And so putting is more difficult because of the extra resistance of the green to the ball, so a golfer has to hit the ball with much more force than is typical to propel the ball along and keep it running to the hole. As the sun rises and hardens the fairway and putting greens a players ball striking will need to be changed to adjust to the new surface conditions fast.

Dry fairways will make the golf ball to bounce and roll much farther off the tee and will assist the golfer to hit the ball much better on their second shot increasing the length of the shot. The significant change comes on the putting green, a soggy green where the ball needed a strong, hard hit will now be driven along quickly with just a light stroke making the golfer to adjust their stroke to the changing conditions.

So wet or dry, windy or calm, golf course management is significant and bad golf course management can accumulate needless strokes to a golfers round. Cautious regard for the weather and course conditions is important for your round. Slow down and play wise, and you will have a great round despite which way the wind is blowing.

part I, Utilizing an off the shelf PC as a CNC controller

There are two main groups that can take advantage of todays low cost PCs as an effective and inexpensive CNC controller.

Retrofits to existing CNC machines with outdated or proprietary controls in need of service.

Shop built and home built CNC machines.

Inexpensive PCs can cost as little as $150.00 and yet provide a dependable and effective CNC machine controller. Some sources to consider for obtaining such a system are outpost.com and dell.com. Oupost.com is an outlet for Frys electronics. They have one PC on sale ranging from $150.00 to $199.00. Several have successfully used this PC in conjunction with MACH2 CNC controller software.

Tradeoffs: price vs. Quality. With the lowest cost PCs there a tradeoff in performance, quality, and reliability. The manufacturers of these machines use low cost hardware in their manufacture and they make compromises in the design of the systems to keep their costs down. Inexpensive hardware translates directly to a higher failure rate and more difficult to obtain manufacturer support. This can be a deciding factor by itself if you rely on this machine for production.

design compromises which are common in low cost PC have an impact on performance. The primary concerns are: insufficient memory, the use of shared memory, and on-board graphics devices. The primary hardware requirements for a PC based CNC controller are sufficient memory, and sufficient processor speed. You can see that the compromises present in these systems are in direct opposition to the requirements for CNC controller.

At the bottom end of the Inexpensive PC market there are off the self solutions that will function well as a PC based CNC controller. As with all things, you tend to get what you pay for, so the buyer is advised to be aware of the requirements and limitations that are in play.

part II in this series of articles will examine an alternative to buying an off the shelf solution and explore building a PC to meet your specifications.
