It can be a headache trying to think of a gift for a dear relative . The last resort gifts like gift tokens or deodorant , might be ok for distant friends or relatives, but if you know the person well enough to know that they are in to experimenting with sound , then you feel a certain need to encourage them to make a noise .

The UK Channel 5 TV series the Gadget Show, with the delightful Suzi Perry, did a musical technology round-up recently . They featured several things , but the judges picked the Korg Kaoscillator as their overall winner.

Great you think. They probably won’t have one if these weird little things already! But then you find Korg have no stock, possibly for 3 months. A bit of a late present that one.

But fear not because the Internet has a virtual alternative. I found out about the Chaos Wave Synth by accident as a video on the Web Video Widget network. It isn’t a virtual model of, but an inspiration based upon the Korg. None the less, it is still yellow, hmm that will remind them of you every day, and it certainly seems to make the same sort of “noises”. It’s called the Chaos Wave Synth and you can watch the video at their website. If you have enough laptops, you could even form the first chaos orchestra.

I say noises, but actually, with a little practice in the right hands and it seems to be quite a stonking musical instrument, with a wide range of tones and playing possibilities.

If you’re as old as I am, the XY pad (a sort of touch pad) seems a little reminiscent of the Dubrek Stylophone, infamised by Rolf De Harris, or the theremin, that wand like instrument featured heavily in 1950’s sci-fi B movies and in the Beach Boys record.

It certainly seems capable of producing those sort of tones as well, but have a sneaking feeling it will be the drum beats and bas lines that those young generation will get absorbed in to.

Being software it does need a computer, but that can be a laptop. Either way, there should be a way of getting headphones on it, to prevent aunt Mildred from being sucked up in to the classical emporium at the gathering.

Giving musical instruments as presents, is always a bit of an issue in my book. Give a 5 year old a drum kit, and he will play (bang) it all day, much to everyone elses shragrala. So as this can be on headphones, it’s a much safer bet in my book.

It’s available as a download, so there’s no queuing at the shops to get it either and it should still be open, even on the day itself. So if the thought of traipsing around the shops gets too mind numbing for you, you may want to buy yourself a copy too. Even without any musical skill, it can be pretty entertaining.

Aah the gift of presents. It just fills you, doesn’t it? But I’m buying one for myself too. Don’t see why the youngsters should have all the fun
Happy days.

My son and his wife are entering the stage of there life where they are going to be homeowners. They have been married for three years and have been saving their money and building their credit rating so they can afford a home of their own. They have been living a very frugal life, not taking vacations and working over time hours to make this happen.

Their goal is to have more money and time once they move into their house. They have also been buying nice pieces of furniture to put into their own space when they get it. They went to the bank to get prior approved for a loan so that they would be able to put money down on a house when they found one they liked.

When they felt they were ready they met with a realtor and began looking at real estate listings. The realtor tried to convince them that they could afford a home that was a higher rate than they were comfortable paying. They had discussed this with us as well as their friends. We all gave them the same message; do not pay so much for a home that you are scraping by each month to make the payments. They both have good jobs with generous salaries. We suggested that they take on a house payment that they would still be able to handle if one of them lost their job or was cut back on hours.

The last thing you want to see happen is to lose your job and your home as well. This had happened to friends of theirs so they knew it was possible. They told the realtor that they only wanted to look at real estate listings in their price range.

They are looking at a good time because it is definitely a buyers market and decided to look in the Sarasota Florida MLS Listings. There are several homes that have been on the market for quite a while. One house that they drove past often on their way to our house had been for sale for over a year. When they had checked the price on the real estate listings when it first went on the market is was out of their price range.

The house was listed by the realty company that they were working with, so they inquired about it. The house had a huge back yard and two bedrooms upstairs and two down stairs there were three bathrooms and a formal living room as well as a family room.

All the cabinets in the kitchen had been custom made by the owner’s father. The realtor told them that the house was one of the greatest values in the real estate listings in that price range. Even though it was higher than they wanted to spend they went and looked at the property. They loved everything about the house.

They decided that they had nothing to lose by making an offer. They offered the highest amount that they had budgeted for, which was several thousand less than the owners had the property listed at. The owners were relocating to another state due to a job offer and were getting frustrated at not selling in the home. They took the offer. My son and his wife now have a beautiful home to call their own.

As with all we do in life we are drawn to the better and are always on the look out for the best especially the best in anti aging products. Of course there are so many to choose from that it can be mind boggling. The anti aging industry is a multibillion dollar business coming out with new products from herbal remedies, live cell injections, magnetic pads, hormonal therapies, vitamin supplements, skin creams, and fad diets with exercises.

To find the best anti aging products in what is available you must be informed on what each product has to offer and what, if any, are the negatives. Not every product will be best for you, so please, you should always consult with your doctor first before taking any medical advise. Here are a few things that may concern you.

You probably know that some products advertise anti aging hormones (human growth hormones [HGH], DHEA, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and melatonin) that will bring back your youth. Studies have demonstrated that by injecting hormones into older patients there has been an improvement in mental acuity, increases in muscle mass, and improves skin elasticity. Yet it can be said the same for a good exercise program with the added benefit of a longer life. Taking hormones may help you to achieve the end result of a youthful look and feel that you desire but so will exercise and the cost may be the deciding factor between the two.

Lately we hear a lot about anti-oxidants and how we need them to fight the “free-radicals” by taking them out of our system before they can do cell damage which leads to aging. Anti-oxidants are vitamins A, C, E, coenzyme Q10, and other enzymes so if you are lacking in one of these vitamins you may be contributing to aging faster then you want. Remember that your body only takes in so much of each vitamin daily and the excess will just be flushed away by your body. Since you can’t make up for a bad diet by eating vitamins the best anti aging product to choose will be supplements and a good diet with all the vitamins you need.

Anti aging creams and lotions is by far the most overall choice of products to date. Who hasn’t benefited from one of these miracle products? There are a lot to choose from and the pricing varies as well. But be careful in choosing your product if you have any skin disorder remember first to check with your dermatologist to what the disorder is and if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in your favorite product of choice. The best anti aging products will be the ones you and your body can live with.

Taking hormones, anti-oxidants, creams and lotions are not without their negatives and it is prudent that you investigate each product’s ingredients; supplements can have varying effects on different individuals so have a good knowledge of what you need to improve your body’s health. A healthy body is a beautiful thing and the benefits are enormous. The best anti aging products are the ones that make you feel and look your best!

Sometimes good people have bad money problems resulting in a poor credit score. These people may need to borrow money just like those with good credit scores, but their options may be limited. One thing that is for sure is if they are able to get a loan, the interest rates will be higher then for those with good credit.

Some people may even assume that if you have really bad credit you will not be able to get any type of a loan. That is completely not true and even if you have the worst credit ever, you can still get a loan if you know where to look. Keep in mind though that some loans geared towards people with poor credit are for short term needs only as they are very expensive due to really high interest rates.

These type of loans of money with bad credit generally include things like payday loans, title loans, pawn shop loans, etc. Some people are scared of these types of a loan and they really do not need to be. They are not for long term solutions but they do provide a service for those who need money quickly and have limited options. If you go this route it is extremely important for you to understand the terms of the loan before signing anything.

If you need a lot of money for a short term period and you have a paid off vehicle, then a title loan can be a good option. If you have a decent job and have been working there for awhile then an online payday loan may be a good option for you. Lastly if you do not have a decent job or any job, and you do not have a vehicle that is paid for then a pawn loan may be an option to consider. Remember to understand the terms of fast cash personal loans including the interest rates and when you must repay the loan to keep your property.

One of the most irritating things to have is yeast infection. If you get painful rashes on your body, memory loss, depression or muscle aches, then you could well be infected. Yeast infection is in fact extremely common. I read that around 75% of females face some form of yeast infection at some point in their lives. So what can you do about it?

Well, first of all you’ll obviously want to see your doctor. But try to stay away from drugs. So far, there are no drugs I know of that safely cure yeast infection without leaving any side effects. Many “miracle drugs” sold through the internet that claim to cure yeast infection are in fact very dangerous, and I wouldn’t recommend taking them. The best way to cure yourself is to do it naturally. There are several guides online (and experts on the topic) that can tell you what you need to do.

One way to finance things like doctor appointments and books is to learn internet marketing, so you can earn an income on the side. Sure, most people don’t end up making much online. But if you work harder than the average person (not particularly hard) and get out of your comfort zone then you can really make things happen.

There are millions of people that earn incredible incomes online, and while it is a jungle out there, the reality is that you can do anything you set your mind to. You’ll want to first join internet marketing forums and see what people are saying before jumping head first into your first website.

We’ve long considered most cases of diabetes a lifestyle disease, associated with poor diet and a lack of exercise, but now researchers have found that other factors beyond heredity may also play a role, specifically environmental ones. I spoke with one of the leading researchers in this area, Ana Navas-Acien, MD, PhD, assistant professor and researcher at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, about how environmental toxins impact the development of diabetes and cancer and what we can do to protect ourselves.

IS IT SAFE TO DRINK THE WATER?

In one recent study, scientists found that arsenic, a naturally occurring element in the environment that results when minerals dissolve in rocks and soil, was related to the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. This is potentially very important, since an estimated 8% of public water supplies in the US have levels of inorganic arsenic higher than the safety standard established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is 10 micrograms per liter. Previous research has linked exposure to this heavy metal with bladder, lung, kidney and skin cancer, as well as other health problems. To determine the relationship between arsenic and diabetes, Dr. Navas-Acien and her team of collaborators analyzed data from 788 adults age 20 and older whose urine was tested for traces of this toxin.

They found that …

* Participants with type 2 diabetes had a 26% higher arsenic level than people who did not have the disease.

* Those with the highest levels of arsenic were more than three times as likely to have diabetes than those with the lowest levels. Drinking water can be contaminated with arsenic in some mining areas and in areas with inappropriate arsenic waste disposal… also, air pollution can be an additional source of arsenic exposure in certain areas.

The theory is that inorganic arsenic may contribute to diabetes by interfering with insulin sensitivity. When the body’s cells are exposed to both insulin and arsenic, they absorb less blood glucose than when exposed to insulin alone and, of course, impaired ability to manage glucose is a hallmark of diabetes. Inorganic arsenic may also contribute to diabetes by encouraging inflammation. (Note: Inorganic arsenic is distinct from arsenobetaine, an organic arsenic compound often found in seafood that is not believed to pose health risks.)

These findings were published in the August 20, 2008, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Further research is necessary to confirm the causal role of arsenic in diabetes development.

PESTICIDES AND DIABETES

Pesticides are also being implicated as a possible factor in increasing rates of diabetes, Dr. Navas-Acien told me. Scientists at the US National Institutes of Health looked into the incidence of diabetes in workers who applied pesticides on farms and in other agricultural settings. They found that workers who used chlorinated pesticides for more than 100 days over the course of their lifetimes faced a significantly higher risk of diabetes. The associations between particular pesticides and diabetes ranged from a 20% to 200% jump in risk.

Scientists at University of Cambridge in the UK have noted the need for more research on a possible link between persistent organic pollutants (POPs, a chemical group that includes many pesticides) and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Although POPs such as DDT have been banned, they persist in our environment, slowly biodegrading and entering the food supply. Other environmental chemicals, such as brominated flame retardants used in a range of consumer products, from electronic equipment to clothing, or bisphenol A, found in plastics, may be associated with the development of diabetes as well as colon rectal cancer.

WHILE WE WAIT FOR MORE INFORMATION…

While researchers continue to study what role environmental toxins may play in susceptibility to type 2 diabetes, it is important to do what we can to limit exposure to those we know are potentially dangerous. Reasonable steps to take to protect yourself and your family include…

- Ask your water utility company for a water quality report. You can also review independent tests on bottled water brands at the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

- Filter your tap water before drinking. Reverse osmosis filters are effective at removing arsenic, but pitcher filters and water softeners are not.

- Go green. For example, instead of deadly pesticides, use pest-resistant grasses to manage your lawn. Read more about integrated pest management (IPM) at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/ipm.htm… replace chemical-laden cleaning products in your home with green brands such as Seventh Generation dot com. Have yourself checked out for breast cancer.

While the jury is still out on any direct causal relationship between environmental toxins and diabetes, there is a strong suggestion of such links. This just adds more to the already long list of health risks you may be able to avoid altogether by living life as naturally and healthfully as possible.
