Sensual Journey is the latest release from Superstar Will Downing, and I can only think of one word to describe it… AWESOME!

Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Sensual Journey. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Sensual Journey has a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are his own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

Will Downing possesses the characteristic of being able to bowl you over with his talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.

Overall Sensual Journey is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are Don’t Talk To Me Like That [track 4], If I Ever Lose This Heaven [track 7], and Brooklyn Breezes [track 10].

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1, Cool Water. Wow!

“Sumptuous” is the only way to describe this 1845 inn, improbably set amid a peaceful garden, a block off bustling Route 28. A skilled interior decorator has combined fine antiques and striking contemporary touches to lift this inn’s interiors way above the average homey B&B decor. Some suites are apartment-size, containing sitting rooms equipped with a fireplace, and whirlpool-tub bathrooms bigger than the average bedroom. Next door, the 1825 Elisha Jenkins House contains an additional large suite with its own sun deck. Welcoming touches in rooms include chocolates, fresh flowers, and plush robes. Breakfast consists of three courses served in the formal dining room or the sunny courtyard.

If your product didn’t work, you were still out the thousands of dollars you spent testing and creating it as well as all of that wasted time! This is why so many “potential” good products never live to see the success that they truly deserve!

Just by looking at the list of products that you now have you can see in a quick glance, what’s working and what’s selling right now on the Internet!

Now, I want you to open up a text document in your favorite word processing program. I don’t’ care if it’s Notepad on windows. Heck, if you just want to scratch this down on a piece of real paper, that will do just find as well.

Now I want you to write down the names of the top 5 products on that list and go visit those pages one at a time.

When you get to the product page I want you to read each salesletter in its entirety and make notes of exactly what the person is offering. If they are selling an eBook take note of that. If they have loads of bonuses, I want you to take note of that too. You want to look at their page and see exactly what it is they are offering and take detailed notes on that. Also take notice of the angle that they are using which is usually reflected in the headline of the page, right at the top.

Now that you have taken notes on these five products, I want you to select the one that resonated with you. What this means is that I want you to select the one product that you felt most compelled to buy.

You’re doing this because if that product attracted you and made you want it, that is what you want your product to do and in our next step you will learn how to do that.

Now that you have analyzed 5 top selling products and have chosen the one that you felt most compelled by, it’s time to use that information to craft a plan for putting your own product together.

First in a new text document or on a blank sheet of paper I want you to write the headline for the product you have selected. This headline is important because it is what is making the product you selected so successful.

Now I want you to write down all of the components of the offer. What I mean by this is that I want you to list out everything that comes with the purchase of that product. If it’s an eBook, write down eBook and make sure to write down all of the bonuses. If you get e-mail contact with the author as a part of the package, write that down. They key here is to write down every component of the product whether it’s tangible or intangible. For example, if you got e-mail coaching as part of the offer but you chose to never use it, you would still have that available to you.

In most families, the garage is a cornucopia of clutter. Sometimes, when the accumulated items pile up so much that parking the car becomes a major problem and it is then that most families take note of the issue.

After a hectic day at work or an industrious day of completing pending housework, nothing is more comforting than to know that everything is stored at an easily accessible place, harmful chemicals are safely out of the reach of children and pets, and the car is secured as well.

A proper and functional cabinet garage system is the answer to the daunting task of getting toys, hose-pipes and tools off the garage floor and out of the way. While bike racks and sports racks take care of your bikes, golfing and other sports equipment, lawn and garden tools can be stored in cabinets and drawers. Plywood cubbies that span the back wall of the garage make great storage systems. Adjustable shelves can be added to accommodate camping paraphernalia or other bulky materials. Smaller articles like tools and implements can be packed into stackable containers and placed on the shelves of the cabinet.

Household items that are used only in particular seasons, like the Christmas lights or the sledge and the tent, can be stacked away in ceiling storage cabinets. This is a great way to utilize this oft-forgotten storage space in the garage. A metal rail that runs all along the front of the lofted cabinets will be useful for attaching the hooks on top of bunk-bed style ladders that help reach the stored goods.

A compact workshop can be installed by building a fold-down workbench that includes tool storage too.

The shelves on the cabinets should be screwed and glued properly so that those do not buckle under the weight of stored items. The doors should open a full 180 degrees so that in interior is fully accessible.

Garage cabinets that are mounted off the floor and directly attached to the studs make it easy to sweep and hose the garage floor. Cabinets fitted with a closet pole enable storage of excess garments.

Organizing your garage not only reduces stress and clutter from your life, but increases the value of your property as well.

One of the best new shows out this past season, I hope that Heroes is around to stay for awhile.

With the initial slogan of “Save the Cheerleader, Save the World”, it was hard to gauge the success of the show. The slogan, catchy and honestly irritating at times, is still what I think of when I think of Heroes.

What Makes it Work

The thing that makes Heroes so inviting, in my opinion, is the fact that the characters are so likeable and that each one is so unique.

The premise of the show is that there are people around the world who realize that they have some supernatural powers. Some of them have been living with their powers for awhile, and choose to hide them, and some of them are just realizing it for the first time.

In each episode they get closer together, finding each other and realizing that there is a bigger force that is pulling them together. At first to “Save the Cheerleader” and now to “Save the World”.

The plot keeps thickening each week as new characters are introduced, and old characters prove to have ties to each other that are just mind blowing.

What Will Keep it Around

Who hasn’t ever thought about flying?
Who hasn’t wished they could be invisible?
Who hasn’t pictured them a Hero, wanting to save the world?

Heroes brings together both the qualities of childhood fantasies and some bitter realities of life.

I think that Heroes will continue to do well and will soar in ratings as we continue to get more in depth with the characters and their relationships to one another.

Happy Watching!

We were not built to do cardio on elliptical machines. Doing the same repetitive cardio motion over and over again leads to too much wear and tear. Its better to use bodyweight exercises to build our body while burning fat and strengthening the body.

Recently, one of my private clients emailed me this week, “Help! My treadmill broke. What can I do for intervals?”

My answer? Bodyweight to the rescue.

As luck would have it, I just finished up a tough lower-body circuit workout on Friday that will help keep my client’s (and your) fat loss going at record pace.

Here’s the circuit:

Y-squat (20 reps)
Jumping Jacks (60 reps)
T-Squat (20 reps)
Siff Squat (20 reps)
Diagonal Lunge (12 reps per leg)

Do each exercise one after the other. After one round you may choose to test yourself and do as many 1-leg squats as you can. I hit a new record of 8 on each side, even on my bad leg.

Then take 1-minute rest and repeat the circuit. Rest one minute after each round, and do up to 5 circuits.You’re looking at about 4 minutes per circuit…so your heart rate should be pumping high after 1 or 2 rounds, and your legs should be fatigued after only the 3rd round. 4-5 circuits are only for advanced bodyweight masters.

After 3 rounds of the circuit I followed it up with a killer bodyweight ab routine (in which none of the exercises was done flat on my back). This included mountain climbers, stability ball jackknifes, side planks, and standing cross crawls.

Its amazing the fitness, strength, and fat loss that you can get from bodyweight exercises.

Bodyweight burns the fat, and gets you conditioned for summer sports far better than traditional bodybuilding cardio workouts

America is facing challenges on many fronts. Terrorism, illegal immigration, a rapidly changing economy and aggressive foreign competition all contribute to the perception that the nation is under threat.

The response of some Americans to perceived threats from both within and without has been to fall back on what they view as bedrock culture. For many this is a God and country view, that includes the promotion of family values, traditional Christian morality and the backing of ever more repressive law and order measures.

The left has also played an active role in the increasing polarization of the political debate in America. It is too easy to blame the flawed policies of George Bush for the decline in civil standards. On the other hand those who tend toward strident left wing opinion are often individuals with little real power and influence. Many are students or people earning a basic wage. This is why the tone set by the those conservatives who are “connected” via big business and the media needs to be put under the most scrutiny in a discussion of this sort, because they are the people who call the shots. When their rhetoric and behavior begins to slip, you can be sure the rest of society will follow suite.

The reason many voices have been muted and in some cases silenced, is because the public debate has become so nasty over the past few years. The implicit threat to reputation is always present, especially since the emergence of the internet. I know of an academic who spoke out publicly about abortion from a moderate pro-choice point of view. She received a phone call and was threatened. The caller also provided details of her address and the names of her family members. That was enough. She never again opened her mouth in the media on the subject of abortion. These tactics work on people who are easily intimidated - and the bullies prove it time and again.

I have long been a fan of the poetry of Walt Whitman. The lyrical beauty he evoked spoke to the soul of a great nation. The grandeur of America, with its sweeping contrasts from canyon to plain to coastal splendor is unsurpassed. Such a gift. The way in which America liberated the enslaved and embraced the voices of those who had long been oppressed demonstrated a generosity and a faith in the human spirit that was extraordinary. This descent into politics of control and intimidation is the antithesis of all of that.

The threat of militant Islam, is dwarfed by the threat to America posed by people on both the right and the left who in overt and more subtle ways are in the business of subverting rights and freedoms in an effort to enforce their own agenda at all costs. The America that will emerge if these tactics succeed will be meaner, more insular and increasingly isolated. Those who already feel alienated and shut out of the process, will stop trying to be heard and will instead mobilize on their own turf. A country that was once a beacon of light and a symbol of hope for millions around the world, will become a land of entrenched hostilities.

This is what America should fear most because it represents a threat to everything America stands for, and all it is capable of becoming.

Drift
by Steven Paul Mark
Booklocker.com (2006)
ISBN 1601450621
Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (1/07)

I found it hard to believe that “Drift” is the first novel that author Steven Paul Mark has written. The author obviously has done a lot of research on a variety of subjects; geology, government, corporations, FBI, NYPD and the New York subterranean are only some of the topics he covered in this very well written novel.

The world as he knows it is over for ex-Marine Max LaFollette. He just lost his job, his wife is murdered and now Max is running for his life from the people who killed her and hiding out from the NYPD who thinks he is involved in his wife’s murder. He inadvertently set off a chain of events that he cannot control when he interviewed at Imperium Solutions. The only way for him to survive is move underground to live in the subterranean beneath New York City with a band of ragtag warriors determined to stop the diabolical plans that Imperium Solutions has embarked on.

At the same time, the world weather has gone crazy. Earthquakes, tsunamis, heat waves, polar ice cap melting and weather reversals are occurring all over the globe. Could it really be true that a corporation really has the technology to cause all of this devastation? As Max realizes the enormity of the problem he heads to California to meet with the famous geologist Becky Hausman, who he had rescued from an accident in the subway tunnels in New York. She quickly joins his efforts to stop this company from destroying the world.

As Max and his fellow warriors move to stop this company they head to Washington D.C. and find out that the reach of Imperium is too high and nothing will be done about the evidence that they uncovered. Realizing that the world is headed for disaster if this company is not stopped they head for Chechnya for the final confrontation.

The story is very fast paced and full of intrigue and drama from the beginning to the end. It is very hard to put down once you start it. It is very disturbing to read this after all the crazy weather, earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunami that we have seen over the last few years. I highly encourage people that enjoy detail oriented thrillers to read this book. I also think that “Drift” has the makings for what would make a great movie.

I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz sensation Paul Brown for you with just one word… Outstanding!

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

White Sand has a nicely varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are his own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Overall White Sand is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Smooth Jazz fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are Makes Me Feel So Good [track 3], Ol’ Skoolin’ [track 4], and For What It’s Worth [track 9].

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 2, Rhythm Method. Great track!

Hidradenitis suppurativa, also called acne inversa, is a severe form of acne that is incurable. It is a recurring skin inflammation that is recognized by blackheads and one or more red, sensitive lesions (bumps on the skin). People affected by this condition find that it is very distressing and uncomfortable. Treatment is poor at the best of times although there are things that can be done to alleviate the effects of the condition.

There are several widespread lesions on the body. These lesions become engulfed with pus and burst, draining fluid onto the skin. The cause of acne inversa is unknown despite extensive research. It most commonly affects areas where apocrine sweat glands are found on the body- the armpits, groin, anal area, inner thighs, under the breasts and between the buttocks. Hidradenitis suppurativa begins after puberty, lingers throughout the years and intensifies in pain and breakouts. This condition is post-pubertal, affecting persons 20-40 years old, with women being affected three times more than men.

This skin condition is extremely uncomfortable for the afflicted person and may affect one or many areas of the body. Being obese or overweight will contribute to this problem, as the rubbing together of skin forms a perfect environment of bacteria and sweat where hidradenitis supperitiva can germinate. In these cases, the patient is advised to lose weight to help sustain the symptoms and pain. Other factors include stress, heat or excessive perspiration, hormonal changes, genetics and smoking.

Your physician will be able to make an assessment of the likely underlying problems associated with this condition and should be able to offer you some form of treatment regimen to help you.

Can’t leave your dear pet cat behind when going on a trip? Bear in mind that there are a lot of things you have to bring if you decide to bring your cat along, and here are some necessary and important items you should remember to bring that will make life easier for you on your journey.

1. Leash, Harness and Identification tags. You will definitely have to let your cat out of its traveling cage for some fresh air, and to ensure that it does not run away while you are going to the restroom or getting some food, put it on its leash, with its tags on. Regardless of its struggles to get free, hold on tight and put the leash on. If it does get away from your grip, make sure that the length of the leash is the farthest it goes. To be safe, leash it before leaving the safety of the vehicle.

His harness must always be locked secure, and his identification tags should not be removed, especially when you let it leave its crate. An ideal leash is extendable and reels up to ten to fifteen feet. These are usually small and light and therefore your cat will have plenty of freedom and yet you are able to control it.

2. Pack its food and water for a quick bite. Therefore, you can always whip up some food for your cat anytime, anywhere. Hard cat food is advisable, and prior to the trip, get your cat to be used to the food, as so to simplify the feeding process while traveling. If you must feed your cat moist food, a can opener, scoop or fork are to be added onto the checklist, so you can still feed your cat its meals.

One important thing you should never forget is fresh water. Anytime your cat is thirsty, you would have a bottle ready for it to quench its thirst. Traveling is tiring for your pet as well, and give it enough water to make sure that it does not dehydrate. Do not neglect your pet, as you wouldn’t want a sick and weak pet when you arrive at your destination.

3. Always put your cat in a carrier or crate. If you’re flying to your destination, check that your carrier is approved by the airline. Also, be very sure that the crate is made out of high impact plastic, or other material, and is very sturdy. The ideal size of crate for your cat should be a crate that allows your cat to stand in it and turn its body around. Too large a crate may not be good as well, unless you plan to travel long distance by car, then it would be more suitable. Make sure there is enough space to have a litter box in it as well, especially if you cannot stop to let your cat out to answer nature’s call. See below for more information on cats training.
