Oil pulling is part of the Ayurvedic of holistic medicine. Basically, you gargle with oil three times a day. It’s called pulling because you need to pull it through your teeth.

Others say that the production of saliva is th

There's been more talk recently about the commodities 'bubble' bursting. This chart (DBC - commodity ETF) would suggest there might be a leak in the bubble but the rounded top doesn't suggest that any bursting is going on. This is a chart of DBC and it's components can be seen below.Year-to-date, DBC has done well bouncing off of its 50 day moving average, which may present a good entry point - needless to say it's back down near it's 50 day MA. If you use moving average as an entry point make sure to place a stop under said MA. If this level is breached (your reason for entering the trade) then you should exit the trade immediately. Keep in mind that this is primarily a commentary on the chart - there are a lot of fundamentals that need to be considered. A large portion of DBC is mad

"Carbon Cap Scams ..pull enforcement of the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act into the debate over climate change." Among the proposals floated by the administration at the meeting last week was one that would limit the emissions cap to electric power plants, while also allowing a "safety valve" if the cost is found to be too high. The Senate bill has no such escape valve and covers emissions almost across the economy. The administration views were presented by James Connaughton, chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and domestic policy adviser Keith Hennessey. Among those at the meeting were Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, the No. 2 House Republican; Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, the ranking Republican on the Select Committee on Energy In

I am all for pulling out of Iraq and bring the troops home. I feel like we are fighting in a war and risking the lives of thousands of Americans for the wrong reasons. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have both said that if they should be elected to the presidency, a large majority of the troops will be coming home. While I am completely for this withdrawal, I realize the problems that could arise from such an action. A withdrawal seems to signify an admission of defeat and leaving the unstable Iraqi government to fend of Al-Qaeda by itself. Many people tend to feel that should that be the case, it's Iraq's problem. Many also believe that a withdrawal would do a disjustice to the thousands of service men and women who lost their lives fighting for our country. To make a withdrawal possible

Can you picture it? It is finally your big day and all eyes are turned toward you. With the perfect wedding dress and a gorgeous bridal bouquet, you are certainly the most beautiful woman in the room. After all of the careful planning you put into your wedding ceremony and reception, the day has finally arrived and everything is going just as planned. Or is it? Every bride-to-bes nightmare is that something will go wrong on her wedding day. This fear is certainly understandable. After all, you have likely dreamed of this day since you were a little girl. In addition, you and your soon-to-be husband have probably invested a great deal of money into the wedding ceremony and reception. From selecting the perfect wedding ceremony flowers to selecting the best entertainment for you and your gue
THE BEST way to write a profile is to imagine yourself meeting someone new for the first time in a casual setting in a bar, a coffee shop, or at a friend's party. Think about the kind of things you would tell about yourself to this person - your dating profile or personal ad is the same idea extended over the Internet.Follow a factual but casual approach to writing your personal ad. You want to let the people get to know concrete things about you, but at the same time, your ad shouldn't come across as a boring resume. Sprinkle it with some humor, exclamation marks; make it fun and interestingA Good profile has 200-250 words, with 150-200 words for yourself, and 50-100 words describing the kind of person you are looking for.Discuss your career history and plans.

Government officials at all levels have become more saavy at trying to disguise taxes as something else. But, it seems Democrats are especially adept at the practice.However, voters/taxpayers are also getting better at recognizing the camouflage.Gavin Newsome, Democrat mayor of San Francisco, is trying out a tax with a double disguise: first, it's called a fee; and second, it's dressed up in the now-familiar costume of preventing a health problem.As an added touch, the tax is supposed to help alleviate a children's health problem....San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has set his sights on soda - working up a plan to charge a new city fee to big retailers of sugar drinks."The bottom line is that there is a direct nexus between high-fructose corn syrup drinks like colas and Big Gulps and obesity among schoolkids," Newsom said Friday.The idea of taxing soda to combat obesity - which is being touted as the first in the nation - has been roiling around in health circles for some time, inc
Not only am I still in Hong Kong, but I’m going to be here over Christmas.
Macau is booked solid. At least all the cheap places are. My lack of planning around Christmas is really the proximate problem here.
The place I’m staying in HK I had to check out today and I packed up and went to drop off the key. I had asked them earlier if I could stay a bit longer, but they said they were full. When I checked out and produced my receipts to get my key deposit, he realized I was a good customer, didn’t cause problems, and “suddenly” a room appeared. In fact, my very same room appeared. Cash does that I guess.
So the plan now is on the 24 and 25 I’ll just take day trips into Macau on the jet boat. Macau is a small place so it shouldn’t be too big of a deal. The plan then is to get a flight to Borneo on the 26th. I just need to decide on flying into Kota Kinablau or Brunei. That should be my last big long flight for quite a while.

Here’s a quick update on a couple of adverts that have been mentioned elsewhere on TVs Worst Adverts. For some reason, the advertisers have seen fit to create follow-ups to these terrible shams of mockeries of adverts (”To really reinforce the brand, you know?” or some such irritating marketing theory.)
Nintendo DS - More Brain Training with Nicole Kidman
Firstly, Nicole Kidman’s been training her brain more and now her *brain score* is “begonia”.
No, hang on, that’s not right. Her brain score is now actually 24. See:
Yep. Definitely 24.
This has gone down from the previous advert (52) and, although there’s still a distinct lack of what the brain number means, Nicole seems pleased with the score. And that’s important.
Of course, it could be that she’s using some magical wireless box of technology that’s connected to the internet and she’s actually the 24th cleverest person on Earth!
But I doubt it.

Clothes shopping with teenage girls. I can’t think of anything worse to do but that’s what I’m doing today. DD14 and my friend’s 14yr grand-daughter who stayed the night with us want to go shopping.
The last time I took DD14 shopping for clothes, by the end of the day I was looking for a dark, quiet corner so I could curl up fetal position-like, rocking back and forth, mumbling to myself…………OK, it wasn’t that bad…LOL…but it was quite painful. DD14 is VERY fussy and I have learnt that when she asks me if I like a particular item, and I say yes, she doesn’t like it because it mustn’t be cool if mum likes it! *rolling eyes* I’m waiting for the time in life where my DD stops rebelling against me and becomes my friend!
Anyhoo, back to shopping today. I think I might just take a book with me, stop at my fav coffee shop in the shopping centre and wait there while the girls shop. They can come and find me

After a year long run with 0% APR credit card arbitrages, it looks like it’s time to pull the plug.
The sole reason for ending this free money run is the lack of *good* 0% APR offers to continue transferring the existing balances. Most credit card companies now impose balance transfer fees at about 3% of the amount of the balance transfered with no maximum limit and some have taken the “0% APR” terminology totally off their charts. All in all, the card companies seem to be making sure that people don’t milk them for the money with these offers.
In my case, some additional crap happened which has sort of ticked me off this arbitrage game. Here is how stuff unfolded:
Currently, I have balances on Citibank and Discover cards. The offers are coming to an end within the next few weeks.
Balance transfer offers do not allow transfer between two cards of the same kind (you cannot use a balance transfer offer to move your balance on one Citibank card to another Citib
