I'd Go For A Professional Mover Anytime

My friend, Deb, in New York just moved house. I am happy for her that she is happier now in her new apartment. She had her colleagues' help in moving her stuff and that took several weekends due to their work commitments. In the process of moving and carrying, Deb sprained her shoulders and had to see a doctor. Perhaps if she had engaged a New York Moving Company, she needn't have to suffer all that pain and inconvenience.

Dance Your Way to Good Health


Isn't this a pretty trophy? A friend has many such trophies which he received from dancing competitions. They are proudly displayed in his display shelves both at home and in his dance studio.

Sam is a ballroom-dancer and has been for more than ten years now. He also conducts dancing lessons and often take his students to clubs for practice sessions in an actual dance environment.

For a man of forty, Sam doesn't look a day older. It must be the years of exercise he's getting from all that dancing.

Choose The Right Toy For Your Child

By now, most Christmas gift-shopping would have been completed. You would have bought toys and gifts for your friends and family. You would have bought your children their favourite toys and there are thousands of toys to choose from both online and in stores.

With the recent call-back of some toys by big-name toy-makers for various reasons, you would have remembered to consider the safety of the toys. Prevention of injuries should be of utmost importance. We need to choose toys that are safe for the child. Labels serve as a good guide for information about the toy so it is wise to make it a point to read the label.

Treating Cough and Cold

Many of us do not realise that cough is a symptom of a disease, and not a disease in itself. Hence, it’s important that parents consult a doctor instead of self-prescribing their young child.

An FDA advisory announced its recommendation that cough and cold medicines should not be used in children below six. The main concern is over-dosage, when most people guess-timate the dosage of cough medicines when giving it to their young.

Here's more about cough and cold - symptoms and treatment.

How to Ensure Your Equipment Runs Well

Holidays demand more of our energy than we realise, espefially so during the Christmas season. It is therefore imperative that we keep our health up by eating well and having enough sleep. Food and health supplements may be helpful.

Running around doing errands and shopping would not be possible if we are not up to it, i.e., if we are not fit nor healthy enough to take the stress.

Along the same line, all the state-of-the-art equipment and gadgets we have at home would not be running at optimal levels if they are not supported by proper cabling. Obviously, a fiber cable would be ideal.

Xbox 360


Everyone loves holidays especially Christmas. Christmas though merry, does come with a lot of preparation and work. There are so many things to take care of especially if you are taking care of a family. Therefore, it is important to stay fit and healthy to tackle the running around, shopping and other errands. Shopping alone takes up a big chunk of our time and effort, not to mention financial resources. However, if you are looking for electronic games and gadgets, such as an xbox 360, I know just the place you can get it for less. At buy.com, of course! Happy shopping!

It's Easy to Book a Las Vegas Hotel

Many people like December. It's a longer school holiday break where the family can go of for an extended vacation. It's hot here and because of the heat, some folks get away to a cooler climate. United States is a good holiday destination.

My neighbour, Mark, is taking his family to the west coast of the US. They will cover San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. They are looking forward to visiting Las Vegas again after their visit three years ago. Hotels are plentiful there and they have booked a lasvegas hotel online at an incredibly low rate.

Exterior Lighting Brightens the Home

Doing up a new home is challenging. There are a thousand and one things that need looking into, don't you agree? A cousin asked that I go shopping with her for curtains and lights the other day.


Like choosing everything else, choosing lights can be a tricky thing because you have to match the right kind of light fittings for the right room. Of course, there is the exterior lighting to look into as well because having the exterior of your home lit appropriately is equally important.

Back Pain - Did You Know About The Triangle?

Are you one of the many that have back pain? Are you tired and stressed because your back pain now rules your life? Are you confused as to why you have tried so many things yet your back pain remains?

Don't worry you are good company. Over 80% of adults suffer from back pain at some stage. Almost 90% of these people will suffer from recurring bouts of back pain. Eventually these same people will have their older years in chronic back pain misery.

It sounds frightening doesn't it? The most frightening thing is this...

Back pain is easily solved if you understand the Back Pain Triangle.

Now you probably have never heard of this triangle. It is not a product, a system or package. The Back Pain Triangle is the understanding behind why you continually suffer from back pain.

Back pain arises from 3 separate areas. If you do not correct all 3, then back pain will return. So what are these 3 areas?

Back Pain Triangle - side 1

The first side to the triangle is the easiest to understand and the area that most concentrate on. This is why so much back pain remains today.

The first side is the structural causes of back pain - tight muscles, weak muscles and joint imbalance.

If you correct all of these then the structural causes of back pain will ease. However, these are re-created if the other two sides of the triangle are not in balance. Research has shown that the trauma caused by lifting an object, or doing a normal daily activity (the most common causes of back pain), is not sufficient to create back pain.

This means the physical trauma that you thought caused your back pain ... didn't! It came from a build up of tension, from physical causes and from the other two sides to the back pain triangle.

Back Pain Triangle - side 2

The second side is less understood, but as much a cause of back pain. Your general health affects your back. If you are tired, have bowel complaints (minor or major), hormonal imbalances, immune problems or are just generally not 100% healthy, then back pain is more likely.

For example, your lower back is affected by your bowel. If you suffer from constipation, diarrhea, gas and wind, bloating ... then there is extra pressure on your lower back. This can set your lower back in a state of tension where when you lift, your back does not have the strength it needs.

Suddenly you have back pain from lifting an object you have lifted a hundred times before.

If you are tired, your muscles tire. Notice how when you have a flu/cold your muscles feel sore also. All of these set you up so back pain is more likely.

Hence your general health is just as important as your structural health.

Back pain Triangle - side 3

The final side is probably the most important. The third side is your emotional health.

This does not mean depression or anxiety, although these are important also.

But your general stress levels affect your back. If you are stressed, anxious, worried or generally not at ease, then muscles tighten. There is a saying that "stress rides on your shoulders".

This means when you mind is overactive, you are not coping too well, and then your muscles in your upper back tighten. Notice how if you get someone to squeeze your shoulder muscles after a busy day how they feel like rocks and are very tender.

Stress affects not just your shoulder muscles, but the entire muscular system. You notice your shoulders, because being hunched over a desk it is these that you are working the most. Nut all muscles are tighter when you are stressed.

So to remove back pain once and for all, you need to address the physical, general and emotional causes to your back pain. Don't worry, the other two sides are actually easier to eliminate than the physical side, and take less time and effort.

Drug Rehab

I met Anne, a former colleague, the other day. It's been many years since she left the company and we haven't met since then. We got to updating each other about our families and what's been going on. She was glad to share the good news that her brother, John, who underwent drug rehab is now happily married and is now running his own logistics business. I am happy for him.

Girard Perregaux

I went to a birthday party the other night. There were close to a hundred people at the party held by the poolside of a posh hotel. A live band was playing great music and the food was fabulous. I'm always wary about poolside parties because sometimes people get thrown into the pool. True enough the birthday boy got lucky. Everything got soaking wet. Luckily his Girard Perregaux is water-proof.
