As summer begins to unfold, our gardens, planted in the urry ofa short spring season, have taken shape, it begs the same questionasked of Mary, How does your garden grow?.

How does my garden grow? . With grubs, and slugs and other bugsand aphids all in a row! - So much for silver bells and cockleshells.

In this day and age of Green Collar Gardening environmentalconsciousness and eco friendly products, its quite a challenge tokeep the bells silver and the shells, cockle. In the past few years theOntario region has seen a real resurgence of the Lily Leaf Beetle.Tis pesky critter will devour the lilies in your garden almostovernight and, as always, just as theyre ready to bloom. Armed

with pails, water, soap, neem oil and children with high-poweredwater guns, its o to the garden to save the lilies! . And manyother plants ghting a war against pests!

Squishing beetles or smashing them between two rocks is greatfun for little boys! Girls, however, prefer to give the beetles anice sudsy bath in a pail of soapy water. Either way, kids make for

great pest control and lily beetle, potato beetle and many othersare eliminated from the garden. Just be careful you teach the kidsabout the nice beetle . Lady Bugs! Let them count their spots,but dont hurt them. Tey are your partners in your ght againstaphids! Water guns work well for aphids too! A good shot with a

water gun will blow an aphid to kingdom come and the Rose BudPrincess will be saved!

Green Collar Gardening can be a bit of a challenge, but it can alsomake for some good family fun . So say good-bye to those grubs,slugs and other bugs and enjoy a great summer of family gardening!

lost? Not so fast, a new generation of reaV is popping up all over the at screen

Shows like Village on a Diet, How toLook Good Naked and a few others arturning the heads of major V executivto a kinder, more sane approach to our

voyeuristic time on the tube. I am sure w

will all still watch the train wrecks, buthow nice it is to see real people makingrealistic changes in their lives and diets

Te rules are simple: Eat well and exercise. Limit your alcoholstop smoking and get lots of sleep. If you feel that MotherNature is being unkind in the age department try a day at aspa. One well spent aernoon (about 40-50 dollars) wrapped seaweed while being pummelled will correct your take on ageinright smartly.

So, whether you believe in what you see on reality V or not, remember to consult a physician before you try anything new.

What you might need is a trip to your local drugstore. Tey ca

some amazing magical cures for anything from short lashes toabby faces.

I think life is all too real to begin with, so I am tuning outand watching something light, like Greys Anatomy orCriminal MindsKeeping it REAL!

Dont you feel like your V is your privatewindow into hell? You can watch all the

juicy pieces of reality V in the comfort ofyour home. Pretty sick if you think aboutit too long (which is about 30 seconds),the time it takes for a commercial these days. When this realitycraze started back in the 90s with Te Real world on MV weloved to watch twelve 20 somethings slogging through the dregsof everyday life for all to watch and judge.

Tings have changed. Now we have the real dirt on almostanything and everything one would like to indulge in for

personal viewing pleasure. What you can currently nd whilechannel surng is obese people ghting for the perfect body

while being abused by Barbie and Ken. Brides who will eat just

about any combination of dead things and live bugs to win thegrand prize of a full body extreme make over worth one hundredthousand in plastic surgery. Funny, I thought the grooms mighthave some objection to the girl of their dreams turning intoFrankensteins Bride but not these upstanding men.

Tey say that everything gets easierin your thirties. Ideas crystallize,morphing into plans that bearnancial fruition. Events

formerly categorized asmundane like changingdiapers and sanitizingcountertops aresuddenly spiritualized,and denitions offriendships becomesupremely meaningful. But

what happens when someoneformally categorized as abonide BFF, someone you

journeyed through the ruggedlandscapes of the twenties

with, somehow becomes a foe?Tis is the friend break-up,and while there is much in the

way of literature and self-help onmarriage break-ups, there is not much out there to help one dea

with the end of a best friend relationship.

Recently my BFF and I have parted ways. Aer ten years, the lastfew being punctuated by bouts of misunderstandings and generacommunication break-downs, our friendship nally crumbledunder the weight of her eminent divorce. Sides were drawn, mutfriends became involved, and divisions were cast amongst a grouof friends who historically had been thick as thieves. I found

myself on the out and out, as my ex-BFF expertly orchestratedherself a pity party with me playing the villain. Me, I am one ofthose annoying stick to principles types, and thusly managed toalienate myself from both her and her soon-to-be-ex, who also uto be a good friend. So true that in the war of roses, no one winsDespite attempts at supporting both parties, I ended up becominthe scapegoat to their marital problems. Aer years of being therescuer, this was unfamiliar and resentment provoking territory.And so, in this context, the friendships went down in a blaze of nso glorious angst.

So whats le? A tiny slice of cell-phone conversation closure, that was

in fact nothing more than a cheapband-aid barely containing thestore of resentment and contempt

shared between me and my nowex-BFF. Its a classic case of she-said-

she-said, and both of us are locked

in a stalemate steeped in righteousindignation, believing that the

other is a traitor and a bitch. Sowhere does one go from here?Terapy?, Ice cream? Who or

what do you turn to in timeslike these, when you canno longer rely on yourbest friend foreverto help you through arough patch?

In desperation I turn to

the Internet, Oh mightygoogle-oracle, I ask, please,give me answers! A quicksearch reveals a top tensigns youre in a toxicfriendship questionnaire.

Check, check, and check;all of the characteristictrademarks are present,and I feel validated in mystance that the ex-BFFand I have parted ways

for my own personal

betterment. But then I remember that my perception of realityis completely subjective, and that the ex-BFF could just as easilyhave responded as I did to the questionnaires on relationshiptoxicity. Aer all we more or less feel the same way about eachother right now, regardless of the particulars of the situation, orthe so-called truth of whats happened between us.

So what now? How do I feel better about the crap-show that nowdenes our relationship? Te answer is this: there is no denitiveanswer. Maybe it all boils down to a shi in perspective andethics; a shi we made in opposite directions at some undened

point in our friendship over the past decade. Maybe on somelevel we can just agree to disagree, and carry on: if not as friends,

than at least not frenemies. Aer so many years of laughter andlove, perhaps not hating each other is the best that we can hopefor. In the meantime, I will eat ice-cream and drink red wine anddo whatever else this mourning process deems necessary; formourning it is: the death of a great friendship, gunned down bythe bullets of growth and change. And as the forties approach,

with ever quickening fervour, my hope is that I will have putthese dysfunctional and co-dependent relationships behind me.All we can hope as we grow forward is that we learn from thesedicult break-ups, and more accurately dene the nature ofquality we seek in friends.

Aer completing a Specialty in the Visual and Performing Arts from the University of oronto.Derek Cox spent three years focused solely on creating and exhibiting paintings and mixed mediaartworks within multiple oronto venues. Derek also helped form and perform within Te Be-Sides performance art troupe. His most acknowledged works of art, however, are his larger acrylic/mixed media paintings. Tese paintings work with a combination of multiple layers of imagery, as

well as a variety of textures and abstractions to communicate meaning and emotions. His style has

been described as a post-modern re-visitation of the abstract expressionist period.Derek returned to his home town of Belleville in 2005 and accepted a position at the RegentTeatre as their lighting and technical director. He exhibited his works at multiple local showsincluding Expressions 2006, Handworks in Bloomeld (2006), Gallery 121 (2007) and multipleshows at the Bohemian Penguin.

Derek is now a full time teacher and has recently taken a sabbatical from exhibiting his work. Tisperiod was a valuable time of personal introspection resulting in a paradigm shi with regard to...my value of life, all life, and the expression of an individuals existence within an ever evolvingcosmos. As I have moved into a new period of creativity within my life, I am nding myself thinkinghow the birth of my two daughters and the resulting shi in roles and in responsibilities for myselfand my wife will manifest visually in my next series of paintings.

Six of Dereks paintings are now on display in our ocesat O.U.R Magazine Belleville. If you are interested in viewingthem or wish to purchase, please contact O.U.R Magazinefor more details.

Creative Math and Music

We all want the very best for our children. his is

most true when our children are in their formativeyears, to prepare them for whatever life may havein store. Did you know that when involved inmusic, more parts of your brain are being activatedthan with almost anything else! Similarly, music and music lessons are known to have a very large impact onour childrens lives. Furthermore, the workplace of the future will require strong communicators, solid team

players and creative, imaginative problem solvers all skills taught in music programs.

Over the years, studies have found that children should be exposed to music training at a young age as it has shownto have a positive impact on the development of childrens brains. In addition, studies have continuously proven thchildren who take music lessons develop a better memory compared with children who have no musical training.Te online edition of the journal Brain revealed that the benets are noticeable just four months aer learning t

play a musical instrument.

Furthermore, there is proof that music education can reinforce math and reading skills, as well as day-to-day workperformance, suggesting that studying theory, as well as the good mood created by music, provides opportunities t

grow intellectually and creatively. Music theory sparks a level of

thinking. Why math! Tere is a relationship to tempo, and whatstudents later see in fractions and in math. For some students, thefour-beat pattern is a hidden lesson in math. We can teach thesimple musical concept of four beats in a measure, but studentsdon't necessarily realize it's a mathematical relationship that theyare applying.

Other benets of learning music include:

jImproved communication skills.

jImproved memory capacity.

jEnhanced interpersonal skills.

jIncreasing a childs creativity.

Music lessons instill great work ethic in the student, as we allknow that learning an instrument is quite dicult. Tis teachesthe student that hard work will indeed pay o in the end.Creating music is the act of creating something of beauty, whileenhancing self-esteem and self-condence in the accomplishmentand ones ability to work constructively with others. More andmore research indicates a strong link between supplementalmusical education and an improvement in a students basicmath and learning skills. Creative programs to learn music areconstructive alternatives to hours of video gaming, television,testing and hanging out at the mall.

For more information on the benets, music has on children, Dee

Dickson at New Horizons for Learning has written a fascinatingarticle about the importance of music education.

As a chief executive of a technology company that thrives oncreativity, I want to work with people whose imaginations havebeen unleashed and who tackle problems as challenges ratherthan see them as obstacles. An education enriched by the creativearts should be considered essential to everyone. (John Scully,former Chairman/CEO, Apple Computers, Inc.)

Animals and especially dogs dont care what your day was like, docare if you have tons of money in the bank, fancy pants clothes inthe closet or if you drive a crap-can car... they just care that you arhome, with them, and that you let them slobber you with kisses.

Currently I am fostering a dog that has the body of a basset hounshort, turned- in legs and the coat of a bearded Collie, a ratherunusual combination I call him Ale. Although very odd inappearance, he is irresistible. When Ale arrived at our shelter, hhad been terribly beaten and was only about 1 year old.

Gale Canni Cole will always remember the advice her father gave her. Tats why whenit came to nding the title for her book she knew exactly what to call it When You StandAlone Stand all were words her father oen spoke.

Now Gale has used those same words to help women and men deal with the dailystruggles of life and relationships.

When You Stand Alone Stand all is Coles recently published book, chronicling her lifestruggles with depression, addiction, and loss. Cole had said when she started to write tenyears previous to the book being published it was to recognize and honor her father andher sister who had given her so much and had taught her about life and all the choices wehave to make. Cole lost her father when she was 23 and a young mother. Tis loss almostdestroyed her but as life holds avenues and choices; Cole was able to continue her path.Tis was only with the help of her sister, who picked up where her Dad le o. Galeneeded a new direction. Her sister convinced her to go to college.

Cole writes One day my sister said to me, Its time Gale you take charge of your life

Quit running Cole said she had hardly passed grade ten and struggled with reading,writing, and spelling.

College would take her into to the next thirty years of her life working in the sector of

violence against women.Te book had ended up in the bottom of her closet for many years. Ten her life changedagain with the loss of many family members. On March 31st 2007, she lost her sister, herhero, condante and teacher of life. 2009 brought the breakdown of a twenty-ve yearrelationship leading her to nish the book.

Cole talked about the great support she received from her family and friends who hadread the manuscript.

Without their words of encouragement, the manuscript would have gone back to thebottom of the closet instead of to the publisher.

Te parallels that Cole draws between her life and those of the women she strives to helpare found within the pages of this unique account of many womens stories and their path

to enlightenment.Challenges and barriers such as poverty, isolation, illness, abuse, and addictions will play arole in the choices we make.

Cole says her goal has been to get this book out to as many women as possible and ifputting her life into words on paper helps even one woman or man, it has all been worth itin the end.

When I asked where she planned to go with the book, she answered everywhere.

I have been asked to speak about how the book came about at so many events and ndthis to be one of the biggest questions asked of me Gale has several more book signings

coming up and she is always willing to taabout her journey and the new places thbook has taken her.

When asked if there is another book tocome, Cole said with a laugh yes, I havebeen asked that question for months now

from the readers. I can say the second boois in the works and all I can hope for is thit will not take as long to write as the rstone did. Tis new book will be based onstories of women, which I had the privilegto interview. Tese women have comethrough abusive relationships and have goon to lead full positive and successful livewill include the changes in my own life.

Aer spending time with Gale, it was veclear that her passion is for words and thlove of sharing. Not many of us can say w

have written a book, let alone exposed ouinner selves to the world but Gale has anI, for one, am glad she did.

Cole expressed the response from thebook stores has been awesome. Presentlthe book is at Chapters Belleville,Greenleys, Belleville, West Wings StirlinHeart o God Christian Books Stirling,J&B Books renton, Lighthouse BookStore Brighton, Books and CompanyPicton.

Bullying.orgA Learning Journey

By Bill Belsey

Shortlyaer I was asked to write this piece by O.U.R.Magazine Publisher Danyl Brett, I opened my computer andan event popped up from electronic day timer that made merealize I needed to take some time to reect, then write abouthe learning journey that I have been on for many years now.You see, it was on April 29th, 1999, in the normally peaceful farming community aber, Alberta, not far from where I live, that a young man named Jason Lang loshis life to a fellow student with a gun at W.R. Meyers High School.

Tis event changed my life forever. Like so many around the world, I was completely shocked and mortie

by the school shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado eight days prior. Yet, it waswhat happened at aber that really change me. I realized that what happened at Columbine was not somAmerican problem, it was not my problem too, as a father, teacher and as a Canadian citizen.

I wondered how could young people become so damaged in their own lives that they would choose toharm others ? It was suggested at the time, that bullying played a role in these events.

I thought that I understood what bullying was all about, aer all, hadnt I made it through the manychallenges of growing up and going to school like everyone else? Hadnt I gone to university to learnto become a teacher? Wasnt I trying to be a decent father in raising my own kids with the challengesthat they faced? I soon realized that I really didnt know much about bullying at all and that what I diknow was based upon so many myths and false perceptions.

I decided that this was a personal call to action. I realized that I needed to learn what bullying wasreally all about. I began to research and read everything I could. I asked so many questions to anyonwho would take the time to listen and respond. I was so very fortunate to have been helped andmentored by some of the worlds best academic researchers on the topic of bullying, such as DebraPepler and Wendy Craig in Canada, Ken Rigby in Australia and many more.

On February 16, 2000, I launched the Websitewww.bullying.org as a safe, moderated, onlinecommunity where people could nd help, support and information as they went on their ownlearning journeys about bullying.

So what have I learned? A lot! Some of which will surprise, but I hope what follows will inform.

First, let me be clear. I am NO a psychologist or professor. I dont have a PhD. I am a father andteacher. So with this understanding up front, lets begin with what bullying is.


23/40

While academics debate the actual wording of a formal denitioof bullying, most agree that there are at least three key aspectsof bullying behaviour; that there is an imbalance of power inrelationships where bullying occurs, that bullying behavioursare repeated and that they are intentional. Bullying can be doneby individuals or groups. Bullying is about power and control.Bullying takes many forms, and can include many dierentbehaviours, such as: Physical violence and attacks ,verbal taunts,

name-calling and put-downs, threats and intimidation, extortionor stealing of money and possessions, exclusion from the peergroup or shunning, using information technologies and theInternet to bully others, A term I coined as cyberbullying, pleaseseewww.cyberbullying.ca for more information. Perhapscyberbullying will be a topic of a future article.

Lets debunk some of the myths about bullying.

Myth: Bullying is a school issue, let the teachers handle it.

Fact: Bullying is a community health and wellness issue.Bullying happens in families, the workplace, at shopping centresthe hockey arena and to seniors. While educators play a veryimportant role in addressing bullying, schools eectiveness inaddressing bullying improves substantially when parents and thecommunity is involved.

Myth: Bullying is a stage and is a normal part of growing up.

Fact: Bullying is not normal or socially acceptable behaviour.We give bullies power by our acceptance of this behaviour. Beingscared to go so school, or being an adult who does not want to gto work because theyre being harassed is NO normal. Being ateenage girl who cuts herself and then hides it so others wont seis NO normal. Tinking about or acting on suicidal thoughts


24/40

is NO normal. Tinking about or acting on taking a weapon togo to school is NO normal. We should never accept bullyingbehaviours as normal.

Myth: Bullies come from poor homes

Fact: Bullies can come from auent families too. Bullies oencome from homes that are neglectful and hostile and use harsh

punishment. Bullying may be learned by observing high levels of

conict between parents. Care needs to be given so that they donot model bullying for their children. -(Olweus. 1993) Victimsoen keep their problems a secret: Tey feel they should handlebullying themselves; they worry about the bullys revenge or othersdisapproval: and/or they think that others can do little to helpthem. -(Garfalo et al., 1987) , (Olweus, 1991) Bullying is reducedin an organization if leadership is committed to reducing bullying.-(Charach et al., 1995)

Myth: If I tell someone, it will just make it worse.

Fact: Research shows that bullying will stop when adults inauthority and peers get involved. In fact, the research of Peplerand Craig has shown that most bullying will stop in less than ten

seconds when peers intervene, not to confront or ght the bully,but by befriend their peers who need help and support.

Myth: People are born bullies.

Fact: Tere is no B chromosome. Bullying is a learned behaviourand behaviours can be changed for the better through formativeconsequences that encourage, support and reward healthyrelationship choices.

Myth: Just hit them back, that will solve everything.

Fact: While there indeed may be times when people have to defendthemselves, in most cases violence begets more violence.

So what is really going on when bullying happens?

First of all it happens a lot. Bullying occurs in schoolplaygrounds every 7 minutes and once every 25 minutes in class(Pepler et al., 1997)

A power dierential exists between the bully and the victim.Bullies tend to be condent, aggressive, lack empathy and caneven have contempt for their victims. Bullies come from homes

where there is poor supervision and modeling of and tolerance foraggressive behaviour. Victims tend to be quiet, passive children

with few friends. Victims do not respond eectively to aggressiveactions. Bullying is oen done so that adults are not aware of it.

Victims are ashamed, and oen dont tell an adult.

Bullying is not about conict resolution. Tere is no conict tobe resolved. In situations that can benet from conict resolutionstrategies, the parties involved have relatively equal power. Withbullying, most the power resides with the aggressor.

What are some signs that your child may be bullied? rouble sleeping, wetting the bed, stomach and headaches Lack of appetite, throwing up Fear of going to school Crying before/aer school Missing or incomplete school work, decreased success in class


25/40

Lack of interest at social events that include other students Oen complains of illness before school events Frequent visits to the school nurse or oce complaining of

feeling sick Wants to call mom or dad to come & get them Lowered self-esteem, makes negative comments about others A marked change in attitude, dress or habits Unexplained broken personal possessions, loss of money, loss of

personal items Unexplained bruises & injuries or stories that dont make sense Acting out aggression at home

So whats to be done? Focus on prevention through educationand awareness. Most schools these days have policies aboutbullying, but this is not enough. Most policies tend to be reactiveand punitive. Its like putting a bandage on a cut that is bleeding

profusely. Its too little, too late.

Bullying is oen the number one non-academic issue that mostclassroom teachers like myself and school administrators face. Yet,there are many educators who never received a research-based,

professional course during their teacher-training at university or

during their time as educators in schools. How can this be? Tissituation is like having nurses and doctors who dont know how tohelp the public with the u. Tis must change!

One in four children report that teachers intervene in bullyingsituations, while seven in ten teachers believe they always intervene.

o address situation, I createdwww.bullyingcourse.comwhich oresearch-based online courses and Webinars (online presentations)about bullying and cyberbullying for educators and parents.

Te good news is that bullying is reduced in a school if theprincipal is committed to reducing bullying. (Charach et al., 199Use this report card when you talk to your schools principal toassess how well they are addressing bullying, bullyingcourse.com

In addition to having policies, schools need to have positive, proactive plans to help change the culture and climate of the schoola parent, you it is most reasonable to ask your childs school is thhave such a plan.

Beware if your childs principal says that they have a Zero-olerance Policy re. bullying. Te term Zero-olerance actuacame from the Anti-drug Wars in the United States. In far toomany cases a Zero-olerance Policy policy means, You bully a

youre out. Out where? Tis response changes little. Te aggressis still in the community and has learned nothing about how toadopt appropriate behaviours. Tose who bully need consequento be sure, but the students and the community is better served b

formative consequences, that is consequences that encourage andsupport positive, healthy relationship choices.

Due to the scope of this topic and the vast amountof information needed to deal with this problem, wedecided to do this in a two part editorial. Look for thecontinuation in the Fall issue of O.U.R Magazine.

Tis past March, a desperate crisis and horrendous Chow Chowrescue situation was created by a local puppy mill operator inMidwest Georgia (USA). It seems he heartlessly decided to literalldispose of forty kennel Chows by loading them into a vehicle, drivdown a busy highway, stopping four times to systematically dumpthe dogs onto the road and then drove away without conscience.

Nine Chows were killed that day by collisions with passingvehicles, and all but four were caught, one suering massiveinjuries. Since then, over one hundred remaining Chows from thsame Georgia puppy mill have been surrendered to Chow rescue

volunteers and the county animal shelter, including three littersborn since that fateful day.

Each and every Chow has to be relocated and this strain ishorrendous on the rescuers and Animal Shelters. How can you he

If all you can do is share these links, youll be helping. Te rescueteam really needs monetary donations for food and medicalattention and most of all, fostering. Although these dogs are notaggressive, they are not socialized, but do adjust quickly to kind

voices, reassuring hands and a warm dry bed.

Typically, Ontarians go to Las Vegas for one reason: I, onthe other hand, came for a stagette; a whole dierent set ofchallenges that included (but was not limited to) applying thecorrect amount of sunscreen, balancing my water and alcoholintake, and not breaking the bank. As I sat by the palm-linedpool at our hotel sipping a 13 dollar pina-colada, and watchingplanes coming in at a rate of about one every ten minutes, Iwondered this: if carbon were Karma, how much bad Karmahas Vegas accumulated? is was not the rst time I wouldconsider this concept over the next few days. Walking down theVegas strip was totaly surreal, in a Salvador Dali meets CelineDion and they have a love child kind of way. I found myselfsurrounded by an unrelenting torrent of sports cars, stilettosand SUVs; by bells and lights and booming base, and a steadystream of people pushing yers and cards advertising showsand show-girls, shopping and dining and more, more, more!At one point it occurred to me that I was walking on a forest.Not the forest back home in Ontario that I seek solace from ona regular basis, but some other forest mowed down to produceadvertisements barely g lanced at and then tossed away. issmall observation was just the tip of the ice-berg, and by the end

of the weekend I visualized a twin city just beyond the Red Rockclis, of equal or more size to Las Vegas, where all the garbage

and waste quietly rots. And even while the environmentalist inme was becoming increasingly alarmed, my inner addict wasecstatic. Lighten up, it whispered in my ear, you think toomuch! Lets go over there to that slot machine, and well get anice cold beer and maybe a shot of Jack Daniels, and then welput some money into that one arm bandit and get rich! IndeeVegas oers options for addicts of all kinds, 24/7, and its easyto see why it is considered the Disneyland for adults. On ourlast day, as my personal angels and demons duked it out insidemy head, I decided to exit the casino for a breath of fresh air.Just outside the hotel lobby, tucked discreetly behind a ratherornate garbage vestibule, sat a young homeless man. His clothwere faded and lthy; his hair askew. Suced to say that in thamoment, as we locked eyes, the humanitarian in me joined forwith the environmentalist, and kicked my inner addicts butt athe way back to Ontario. And even though I have been home fseveral days, the Vegas hangover persists: a mild yet pervasivecombination of spiritual dehydration and guilt. Perhaps the oncure is to redeem some Karma-carbon points by planting a fewdozen trees. Ill ocially dedicate this small forest to the brideto-be, in honour of the upcoming nuptials. And deep down Im

hoping it will make me feel better about the fact that a small pof me absolutely loved Vegas.

Happy Fathers DayWhEN God crEaTEd FaThErS When the God was creating Fathers, He started with a tall frame. And a female angel nearbysaid, What kinda of father is that? If Youre going to make children so close to the ground, why haveYou put fathers up so high? He wont be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed

without bending over or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping.

dance. e rst single is the title track Born is Way and I love it!

People keep crying over how unoriginal this song is, but it is myopinion that Lady Gaga was giving a nod to all the songs you hear

mashed up in BTW. Shes taking the music I heard growing up andgiving it to a new generation of music lovers. is song is campy, yes,but nothing feels better than screaming out the lyrics along with the

track; its empowering, its exciting, its Lady Gaga.

Do you ache all over from chronic pain, suer from mental illness, cant cope with addictions and see no hope for the future? You arenot alone, millions of Canadians are just like you and most have given up hope. Well help might be around the corner, many Canadianshave already found there answer with Auricular Laser Terapy. Tis new therapy might be the biggest breakthrough for Chronic PainManagement, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Anxiety, Addictions and many more

What is Auricular Laser Terapy (AL) and Auriculotherapy (A)? Te best way to look at A / AL is as modernized ear acupuncture.Research has found that the ear behaves as an electronic access point to the brain - and can be used to tap into the dierent sensory and moregions as well as the more automatically functioning parts. It is very eective in improving your management of acute and chronic pain,neuralgias, all forms of arthritis, bromyalgia anxiety, insomnia, addictions, depression, psychological disorders and the list goes on and on.

AL is substituting lasers for needles, like acupuncture scientic research indicates acupuncture stimulates your bodys own morphine-like painkilling chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins can be up to 200 times stronger than morphine and other pain killing drugs

(without the nasty side aects!). Tis not only helps relieve pain it also jump starts these systems to start functioning properly. Tus A/ AL facilitates the natural healing processes of the body, not just pain relief.

It is recognized by many governments around the world and is cataloged by the World Health Organization as a recognized therapy, as wellas many other well respected institutions. In the Arthritis Foundations guide to PAIN MANAGEMEN, the Mayo Clinic On Arthritis anChronic Pain all site acupuncture as a viable therapy. In 1998 Te National Institutes of Health found that there was enough evidence to

prove that acupuncture helps relieve postoperative dental pain and nausea caused by chemotherapy, anesthesia or pregnancy. Te report alsoconcludes that acupuncture may help control pain associated with low-back problems, migraines, osteoarthritis, bromyalgia and carpal tun

syndrome (taken from the book; MayoClinic on CHRONIC PAIN 1999)

How eective is AL? Personally I wouldsay it is very eective and can be for everyonefor almost anything they suer from. Eventhough the western science is still catchingup, the research is very promising, mostresearch shows that subjects (no matter

what they are testing) report signicantbenets and positive attributes from eitherA or acupuncture. I would also look at

what people are experiencing from ALand how it has helped them. In extremecases where persons that used AL; I amoverwhelmed at its success. wo personssuering from bromyalgia (debilitatingchronic pain) both stated aer only onetreatment a signicant reduction of pain,increased mobility and energy. One statedthey no longer need drugs aer decades ofdependency and both stated it worked betterthan any therapy or drug they have ever used.I have also spoken with persons suering

severe psychological disorders, one that hadbeen living with anxiety attacks, nightmares,sense of hopelessness, insomnia and aeronly one treatment; they are sleeping likea baby, a sense of calm and now a feelingof hope and happiness. Another reportedthat there symptoms immediately subsided,

which normally would require a lengthyhospital stay and new drugs. All personsfelt so strongly about it they stated theyare continuing AL treatments and wouldrecommend it to others.

Is It For You? I would say yes, since it isvery aordable, safe with no adverse sideeects and with the great potential benetsit is something one should give it an honesttry. Now that it is so aordable, accessibleand with no adverse side eects (I havebenetted from it personally better thanany other therapy or drug treatment foranxiety and bursitis) I say you are missingout if you do not. ry AL and start livinga happier and healthier life!

As a woman I love the hot days of summerwith all the hot men with their shirts oenjoying the summer sun. I have alwaysbeen attracted to smooth dened men with

little or no body hair. As I get older, now inmy late thirtys, I nd my tastes have gonefrom the totally shave bare chest of the boysin my twenties to a slightly huskier look. Iknow I am not alone as my girlfriends havecommented and agree that what was hot attwenty look strange at forty on most men.

With a few simple rules your man can jazz upthe sexy factor buy doing a little manscaping

Buy your man a clipper set that has a range of heads for close shave, medium cut and so oIf he is very hairy then a medium clip will make his chest look much bigger and dened.Back hair is never pretty so that would be a close shave with a helping hand. Men should

have underarm hair but it does not need to drag behind him on the ground, a mediumclip will do the job nicely. Te added bonus is that underarm hair can trap odours and bytrimming it he will look and smell great!

You can nd nose and ear trimmers at any local drug store. I dont want to get into thattopic as I am a bit squeamish-enough said.

Men should look like men and I will always take a double/triple look at the aylorLautners of the world but I now nd the sexy Hugh Jackman more to my liking. Sandals

with socks will never be a good look on any man! And Capri pants are a denite no. Sexyis all about looking and feeling great! Men can get stuck in a slump too, so drop a few hinand see his condence grow.
