Well, it’s time to get your swamp boots and mosquito repellent on again, for right in the middle of the ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss,, and the black bayous — or slow-moving streams — full of alligators in the Louisiana marshes near the Gulf of Mexico is an amazing tropical oasis.</p><p>It’s Avery Island, a treasure island, in truth, that has been owned by the same family for more than 150 years.</p><p>Once called Petite Anse Island by the first French-speaking settlers who pushed out the native Indian population,, it was renamed for Daniel Dudley Avery, a judge from the state capital of Baton Rouge, who took over the island’s sugar plantation in 1849.</p><p>Before going further, I should point out that Avery Island is not really an island at all. It’s a 900-hectare [22-hundred-acre] rise atop a salt dome, 15 kilometers inland from the Gulf. By salt dome, I mean the tip of a seemingly bottomless pillar of salt that stretches farther down into the earth than the tallest mountain — Tibet’s Mount Everest — is high. Eventually Louisiana salt domes got covered over with rich sediment washed down the Mississippi and Red rivers, giving them the appearance of islands above their flat coastal surroundings.</p><p>And as a result, the big bump that is Avery Island is the highest spot of land between Brownsville at the southern tip of neighboring Texas and Key Largo, Florida, three states to the east.</p><p>During the American Civil War, Avery Island supplied more than 10 million kilos [about 22 million pounds] of salt to the southern Confederacy.</p><p>Four years after the war ended in 1864, a man named Edmund McIlhenny, who had married one of Daniel Avery’s daughters, began manufacturing pepper sauce on Avery Island. In 1870, he received patents for a processing formula that is, basically, still in use today.</p><p>McIlhenny began growing a variety of Capsicum peppers from Mexico and Central America on Avery Island. The sauce got its name from a <strong></strong>. “Tabasco” is an Indian word meaning “humid land.”</p><p>The stuff was initially poured into cologne-type bottles with and sprinkler fittings. This was — and is — important, because Tabasco sauce is so concentrated that, if you have any sense,, you dash, not pour, it onto your food.</p><p>On Avery Island today, besides the salt mines and sauce factory, are oil wells, an incredible botanical garden,, a bird sanctuary where elegant white egrets roost by the hundreds,, and archaeological dig sites where mastodon bones, deep pockets of oil, and early Indian pottery have been unearthed.</p><p>A film orients visitors to the McIlhenny Company operation, where each workday,, almost three-quarters of a <em>million</em> little 57-milliliter bottles of flaming-red (and flaming-hot) Tabasco pepper sauce — and other bottles as large as four liters for restaurant use — rattle off production lines.</p><p>Let me reemphasize that: 720,000 bottles of hot sauce roll out of this otherwise-obscure piece of marshland <em>each</em> <em>day</em>.<span id="more-1031"></span></p><p>Most are filled with the company’s signature red sauce, though the line has broadened to include a green jalepeño sauce and various steak sauces and meat marinades.</p><p>And everything,, including the egrets and other swamp creatures in the company’s “Jungle Gardens” — is owned by the McIlhennies.</p><p>The Mother Goose children’s rhyme notwithstanding, it isn’t Peter Piper who picks the pickled peppers. Over five months from July through November, local Acadians pick the Tabasco peppers, which have ripened in green, yellow, orange, and bright-red stages. That very day, others mash them in vats, add a little Avery Island salt, and seal the squishy mixture in large,, white-oak barrels.</p><p>Each is capped with a wooden cover into which several holes have been drilled. Then a thick layer of rock salt is piled atop the lid. Over the next three years of curing, the salt seeps in as the mixture ferments, while the mash develops a flavor that pepper aficionados can distinguish in a flash from other regional hot sauces.</p><p>As you might expect, the “Tabasco” name and the brand’s familiar diamond-shaped label and logo are vigorously guarded trademarks for products — including all sorts of shirts, snacks, posters, and other souvenirs — that the company sells in 160 countries around the world. According to some branding experts, Tabasco is second only to Coca-Cola as the most recognized trademark in the world.</p><p>In Japan, it’s used on pizza and spaghetti so much that many Japanese think Tabasco is Italian. In the American South — and almost without fail in Southwest Louisiana — just about every table will have three different spices on it: a little salt,, a little pepper, and a lot of pepper sauce. One descendant of the Avery family told me, with a wink, that dashing your first drop of Tabasco sauce on a soft-boiled egg as a child is a rite of manhood.</p><p>That’s macho hooey. I’ve seen some Louisiana women <em>douse</em> their eggs in Tabasco.</p><p>About 25 years ago, the McIlhenny Company began spreading some of its pepper-growing to farms in Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela,, and Mexico, as well as Avery Island. If there’s a blight or a revolution, the firm’s unique varieties of Tabasco peppers will be safe.</p><p>The same reasoning applies to hurricane devastation. The infamous, deadly Hurricane Katrina of 2005 barely brushed Avery Island,, but it destroyed the company’s offices and museum across the state in New Orleans. Because of its elevation, Avery Island was spared from terrible flooding triggered by Hurricane Rita, which smashed directly into Acadian Country just days later. But many of its workers were not so lucky at home.</p><p>As a last-ditch safeguard for the unique Tabasco taste, more than 20 kilos of seeds are locked in vaults on the island and in a bank in New Iberia, the nearest town.</p><p>Tourists find their way to Avery Island to see the peppers growing, the egrets roosting, and the mashers mashing.

Delaying Troop Control Handover 'Sends Wrong Message'
U.S. Forces Korea Commander Gen. Walter Sharp has suggested discussions at the "highest levels" of South Korean and U.S. governments over delaying the handover of full control of South Korean troops to Seoul in 2012. He made the suggestion at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services in Washington on Friday,, AFP reported Saturday.
"If the Republic of Korea comes and asks for a delay,
152 men and women bathing at the same time, to create the most people at the same time bath new world record.152 people around Bournemouth beach in the last 6 meters high standing and shower shower device.,, I'm sure that will be a discussion at the highest levels of both governments,," he said. "Both governments agreed to this timeline of April 17,, 2012. And to change that timeline, both governments will have to agree to change that."
But during the hearing,, Gen. Sharp reaffirmed his position that it will be desirable for Washington to hand the full troop control over to Seoul in April 2012 as agreed.
He also said,,
152 men and women bathing at the same time, to create the most people at the same time bath new world record.152 people around Bournemouth beach in the last 6 meters high standing and shower shower device., "It also sends a very strong message to North Korea and to other people in the region that the [South] Korean military is so strong that the U.S. is willing to go in a supportive relationship." A delay in the transfer would send "exactly the opposite signal,, which is not the right thing to do,," he added.
Sharp returned to South Korea Saturday on hearing of the sinking of a ship in waters near the de facto sea border with North Korea. "We have detected no special movements by North Korean forces; however, we,, as a command,, continue to monitor the situation and remain prepared for any contingency,," he said.
The USFK is cooperating with the South Korean Defense Ministry to find out what kind of assistance it can provide,, he added.
N.Korean Fishing Fleet Trespasses for 3rd Day
Scores of North Korean trawlers fishing for blue crab crossed the Northern Limit Line near Yeonpyeong Island in the West Sea for three consecutive days from Sunday to Tuesday. Military authorities are at a loss how to respond.,
A government source on Tuesday said between 20 and 50 North Korean fishing boats crossed the de facto sea border in waters northwest of Yeonpyeong Island for three straight days since Sunday. "They returned north after fishing for three to four hours until South Korean high-speed patrol boats arrived."
On Tuesday afternoon,, a North Korean patrol boat also crossed the NLL to keep watch over the fishing boats,, the source added.
North Korean fishing boats have several times crossed the NLL in small groups in the past,,
152 men and women bathing at the same time, to create the most people at the same time bath new world record.152 people around Bournemouth beach in the last 6 meters high standing and shower shower device., but it is unprecedented for such large numbers to keep coming for three days.
Military authorities speculate that the trawlers are trying to fill the blue crab quota assigned to them during the so-called "150-day struggle,
152 men and women bathing at the same time, to create the most people at the same time bath new world record.152 people around Bournemouth beach in the last 6 meters high standing and shower shower device.,," for which the regime has press-ganged people into farm or factory work. The "struggle" ends Thursday. But authorities are also wondering whether the trespass was a pointed effort to violate the sea border,, which the North refuses to recognize.
N.Korea 'Fattens Up' People for Family Reunions
,
North Korea "fattened up" people selected for reunions of families separated by the Korean War with regular meals and vitamins,, Ser Spiegel reported Wednesday quoting a U.S. diplomatic cable disclosed by WikiLeaks.
The U.S. Embassy in Seoul filed a report on the reunions in August 2009 that said North Koreans are selected for the reunions based on their loyalty to the state and "transported to Pyongyang and then fattened up with regular meals and vitamins to mask the extent of food shortages and chronic malnutrition in the North."
The same report recounts the experience of a South Korean delegation to the North,, who were reportedly asked to provide a "gift" and required to pay "US$50 per person" themselves for a banquet arranged for them.
Another cable, filed by the U.S. Consulate General in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang in 2009, touched on North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. According to the dispatch,, one businesswoman,, who is powerful enough not to fear the North Koreans,, met Kim Jong-il at his guest villa on Mt. Myohyang,
152 men and women bathing at the same time, to create the most people at the same time bath new world record.152 people around Bournemouth beach in the last 6 meters high standing and shower shower device., where she found the dictator "in good health and spirits." She said she got the impression that Kim, "detail-oriented,, charismatic and with a good memory,," was in control of everything.
Kim,, thought to be seriously ill, seems not to be following doctors' orders and concerned about his health at all," the cable said. He "lit a cigarette as soon as the formal one-hour meeting ended,, drank champagne before dinner,, whiskey cocktails during the meal,
152 men and women bathing at the same time, to create the most people at the same time bath new world record.152 people around Bournemouth beach in the last 6 meters high standing and shower shower device., and continued to chain-smoke throughout the private dinner."
It added the businesswoman recalled Kim's mistress,, "Kim Ok, sitting on a separate sofa and taking notes."
Experts debated the statue's color during the restoration
,
<p><p><p>
The rejuvenated statue of Admiral Yi Sun-shin is back in Gwanghwamun Plaza in downtown Seoul on Thursday.
<p>After a thorough facelift,, the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-shin is back on its podium in Gwanghwamun Plaza in downtown Seoul.
Following six hours of hoisting and unwrapping,, the rejuvenated statue was unveiled to the public at 7 a.m. on Thursday to greet the day's morning commuters.
The 42-year-old bronze statue had holes and uneven surfaces from daily wear and tear,, and the inner skeleton had to be fortified to withstand strong winds and external shocks.
The statue was taken down last month and sent to a factory in Gyeonggi province to be worked on. Meanwhile,, the empty podium had an amusing sign that said "changing room occupied" which attracted people's attention and raised their anticipation for Admiral Yi's return.
Experts debated the statue's color during the restoration,, with some favoring the original bronze look while others preferred the weathered deep green hue it had taken on. The solution was to go halfway.
Admiral Yi is remembered for defending Korea against Japanese invaders in the late 16th century using then state-of-the-art turtle ships and advanced war strategies.

Meanwhile
South Korea will start shipping 50,,000 tons of heavy fuel oil promised to North Korea within two weeks to reward the Stalinist country for shutting down and sealing its nuclear facilities. South Korea will start shipping heavy fuel oil before Jul. 14 and complete shipments in late July or early August. The two Koreas reached the agreement in working-level talks in Kaesong on Friday and Saturday,, the Unification Ministry said. With heavy oil costing about US$400 per ton,, the total cost will exceed W20 billion (US$1=W938).
Meanwhile,, an inspection team from the International Atomic Energy Agency that will seal North Korea's nuclear facilities is to arrive in the North around Jul. 12 or 14. South Korea apparently believes that North Korea will seal its nuclear facilities in time for the arrival of both the IAEA inspectors and the heavy fuel oil. Seoul therefore wants the six-nation nuclear talks to resume in the third week of July,, right after the IAEA inspectors visit to the North.
On leaving Beijing after returning from the North on Sunday,, the head of the IAEA delegation Olli Heinonen said,, "We have moved to an understanding on how to do ratification and monitoring on the Yongbyon facilities when they will be shut down. We had fruitful discussions and visits to the Yongbyon site." The results of the visit will be reported to an IAEA special commission meeting on July 9,, which then makes a final decision,, he added.
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi will reportedly visit North Korea on Monday to discuss when to resume the six-party talks and how to implement the Feb. 13 denuclearization deal. Yang is expected to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

[Members of the government delegation
Soldiers of Pakistan army head to front position near the Lal Masjid, or Red mosque in Islamabad,, Pakistan, 09 July 2007 Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has reportedly authorized a new round of negotiations with militant leaders barricaded inside Islamabad's Red Mosque. Officials say hundreds of women and children are being held hostage by a group of hardcore terrorists with possible links to al Qaida. From Islamabad,, VOA Correspondent Benjamin Sand reports at least 24 people have been killed since the stand off began last Tuesday.
Scores of ambulances have taken up positions around the mosque as military loudspeakers broadcast what officials say is their final warning.
Security forces again fired tear gas and automatic weapons into the compound with both sides apparently bracing for a possible final confrontation.
In a bid to resolve the standoff,, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf reportedly backed a proposal from religious leaders to hold direct talks with the mosque's militants.
Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao told reporters afterward the government welcomes the clerics' efforts.
He says the government does not want to reject any options and will exhaust all efforts to resolve the standoff.
[Members of the government delegation,, which includes former Pakistani Prime Minister Chaudry Shujaat Hussain and several religious leaders,, are speaking by telephone with those inside the mosque in an effort to end the standoff.]
More than 1,,000 people have surrendered since the standoff broke out,, but officials say hundreds more remain inside. The government says at least 50 to 60 hard-core militants have taken control of the mosque and may be holding scores of women and children hostage.
The mosque's leading cleric,, Abdul Rashid Ghazi,, says he and his supporters would rather die than surrender.
The mosque has been a well-known source of Islamic militancy. Its top clerics recently vowed to impose strict Islamic law on the capital,, and has long endorsed the strict Islamic Taleban regime that ran Afghanistan until 2001.
Ghazi's supporters led what they called an anti-vice campaign in the city,, which included kidnappings of police officers and a number of alleged prostitutes from China.
Government officials acknowledged growing concerns the unrest could be spreading. Unknown gunmen killed three Chinese workers late Sunday in the western city of Peshawar. At least 15 other people have been killed by a series of bomb attacks in the past week.
Monday, a wanted Taleban leader led a massive anti-government rally in Pakistan's remote tribal area. Witnesses say more than 10,,000 people joined the demonstration.

Hier, Stéphane Guillon tweetait : "Mon affiche a été censurée dans le métro sans explication. Je suis triste pour tous les gens qui travaillent avec moi sur ce spectacle. Il s'agissait de 300 affiches sur quinze jours,, une campagne qui s'annonçait magnifique. Nous n'avons aucune explication. Des affiches ont été posées puis arrachées. Il s'agit de l'affiche du spectacle, présente sur mon site." C'est pourtant avec fierté que celui qui créait récemment une véritable polémique,, après avoir imité Arnaud Montebourg face à Audrey Pulvar dans On n'est pas couché sur France 2,, dévoilait sur son site (stephaneguillon.fr) l'affiche de son spectacle qui se tiendra à l'Olympia du 1er au 6 mai 2012. Des dates qui tombent dans l'entre-deux tours des présidentielles, ce qui n'est pas sans lien avec la censure dont a été victime l'humoriste.
Aujourd'hui, vendredi 27 janvier, Gérard Unger, président de Métrobus,, s'est exprimé pour la première fois sur cette polémique dans Europe 1 Midi au micro de Guillaume Cahour. Invoquant un retard de livraison des affiches,, il a ainsi confié : "Nous sommes en période électorale,, la RATP est un service public soumis à la règle de neutralité. On ne peut pas imposer un avis au public. Il y a un problème d'équilibre,, tout le monde devrait en prendre pour son grade." Heureusement, sur Twitter, grand nombre de Twittos n'ont pas hésité à apporter leur soutien à l'humoriste. Et ce ne sont pas les seuls...
Mais ce dernier devrait rapidement être rassuré car il est fort probable que ce buzz autour de son spectacle n'ait que des effets positifs sur ce dernier !
Chloé Breen
En effet,, la société d'affichage JCDecaux (mobilier urbain : panneaux SNCF,, Colonnes Morris, abribus...) confirme aujourd'hui,, via les attachées de presse de l'humoriste Vincence Stark et Catherine Battner de l'agence 96B,, après validation par son comité d'éthique,, la diffusion de l'affiche du spectacle de Stéphane Guillon En mai 2012, Stéphane Guillon s'en va aussi... dans son intégralité et sur tous ses supports urbains. L'argument invoqué par Média Transports selon lequel le titre du spectacle de Stéphane Guillon serait trop politique s'avère dès lors sans fondement. Notons qu'à ce jour, aucune information officielle, ni justification écrite de la part de Métrobus n'ont été fournies à l'agence de publicité Mermon mandatée pour cette campagne d'affichage.

Protein
Yes it is true,, active people need more protein than the average person. It is especially important after our workouts to repair muscle damage. Include lean meats, fish,, soy,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session., and eggs. Active people need about 3-4 three-ounce servings a day.
Eat Your Fruits and Veggies!
When you exercise, you breathe harder taking in more oxygen. While you need oxygen to support life, it can become unstable in the body. Unstable oxygen can oxidize and damage your muscle cells which can bring on inflammation and soreness. You can protect yourself from oxidation by eating healthful amounts of antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. Eat at least five fruits and vegetables a day,!
Drink,, Drink,, Drink
The more you exercise, the more you sweat. Replacing these fluids is vital for peak performance and endurance. During long workouts you may need a sports drink that contains carbohydrates and electrolytes. Drink at least 8-10 servings of fluids/day.
Fueling Before A Workout
This step alone will not only lengthen your workout but it will also increase your performance which is key when training for an event. If you don? eat before exercise you will likely feel light-headedness,, fatigue, and nausea. In addition, your body turns to muscle protein for fuel because it doesn? have enough carbohydrate. By starting your workout well-fueled, your body will burn a combination of the carbohydrate stored in your muscles and stored fat. Eat 2-4 hours before a workout or event. Choose a high carbohydrate, low fat, moderate protein meal or snack. Drink at least 10 ounces of water to help offset sweat loss during your workout.
Fueling After A Workout
It is important to consume calories and fluids during the first half hour after you exercise for optimal recovery. If you aren? hungry right away a quick snack will do. Drinking a sports drink or 100% fruit juice will do the trick! Don? forget to eat a meal later with protein to repair muscle damage.

well-functioning immune system.
Just as our country is currently engaged in a war against covert terrorism, your immune system is similarly waging a constant war against the hidden enemies within your body.
This war started before you were born and it will continue until you die. Although it's a war that always ends in defeat,, there's a lot you can do to markedly postpone that ultimate defeat and to maintain a state of vibrant health into advanced old age.
These enemies of your immune system include well over 400 toxins ingested from the food you eat, the water you drink,, and the air you breathe, along with a multitude of bacteria, viruses, and mutated cancer cells. Increasingly, it has to deal with particularly aggressive bacteria that have developed resistance to most,, if not all, antibiotics.
It is also being challenged by a host of new viruses,, including HIV, SARS, West Nile,, ever-changing strains of influenza that now bear the threat of a world-wide pandemic. Never in the history of our species has it been more important to have a very strong,, well-functioning immune system.
A recent longitudinal study, however, has shown that an average person's immune system declines at a rate of approximately 3% per year,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session.! The subjects in this 12-year study were all young adults and were apparently healthy when the study began.
When your immune system is functioning fully, it's very much like a very powerful army. It is composed of several highly specialized types of cells, much as an army is made up of many different specialty groups.
Just as supply lines are of crucial importance for an army to wage an effective and successful campaign,, the cells of your immune system must similarly receive a constant infusion of all the crucially-important nutrients that they need. As is well known in the art of war, when these supply lines break down, the war is lost.
Another element that is of equally crucial importance--both to an effective fighting army and to your immune system--is constant and effective communication. If this breaks down, the war also cannot be won. One of the most common objectives in warfare is to destroy the "command and control" of the enemy.
When communication breaks down in the immune system,, the individual cells in this system do not work together effectively; moreover, they lose their effectiveness both in being able to detect various kinds of enemies and in disabling them. And worst of all, they often mistakenly perceive that other cells are the enemy and aggressively attack them. This results in the many forms of auto-immune diseases that are becoming increasingly prevalent.
So promoting healthy communication within the immune system is clearly of the utmost importance. Until very recently, however, very little has been known about how to do this. Even now, most people know absolutely nothing about this crucially important form of health care. My main purpose here is to guide you in gaining the knowledge you need to provide your immune system what it needs in order to maintain optimal cell-to-cell communication.
Thanks to the electron microscope and the new science of Glycobiology (or Glycomics), it is now known that eight basic sugar molecules are of crucial importance in cellular communication. Collectively, these sugars (or monosaccharides) are called glyconutrients (the prefix, "glyco," from the Greek word for sweet).
Sadly,, six of these eight sugars are markedly deficient in the modern diet. On the bright side, however, it is now possible to correct this deficiency through supplementation. This new kind of supplement is called glyconutrition and is often referred to as "the missing link" in nutrition. Along with essential amino acids, essential fatty acids,, and essential vitamins and minerals, it comprises a fourth category of nutrition that is absolutely necessary for optimal health.
It's very important to have an immune system that is both strong and well-modulated. The word "strong" here refers to its potency in attacking and destroying pathogens of all kinds. There's a wide array of nutrients that can contribute to keeping the immune system strong or in giving it a temporary boost. Colostrum, Echinacea, Beta Glucan,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session.,, and other mushroom extracts are important examples.
But if your immune system is strong in this sense without also being well-modulated--that is, if it's unable to discriminate accurately between friend and foe--its strength may actually be used AGAINST you. The end result of this may be the development of some kind of auto-immune disorder,, such as MS, Lupus,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session., Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and many, many others. This is very likely a major contributing factor to how auto-immune disorders of all types are currently proliferating at an accelerating rate.
Fortunately, there are now excellent supplements that support the immune system in BOTH of these crucially important ways.To learn much more about them and how to get them, please click on the URL below.

"Optimum health is not just the absence of disease but the presence of wellness in mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and social areas. Some would also include financial health."</p>
Introduction
Optimum health is essential at all levels,, from the individual to the society we live in to the environment around us. We have to start thinking of wealth not just in terms of possession of money and properties but also the possession of mental,, emotional, physical, social and spiritual well-being.
Mental Health
The truth is mind is the forerunner of all states.
With a proper mindset,, a poor man can still be happy. Conversely, if the mindset is not right, no matter how much material possessions you may have,, you may still be a very unhappy person. Thus, Gandhi said,, "The world has enough for everyone's needs, but not enough for even a single person's greed."
So a healthy mind is one that possesses a mindset that can lead to happiness and contentment with self and the world around us. It provides clarity of thoughts, good insight and the ability to see things through an unbiased mind.
To be able to see things through an unbiased mind is no small feat. It is extremely difficult to note or observe the unfolding of events and phenomena without judging. We habitually associate emotions or feelings to events, and allow such emotions to direct our actions. Our likes for certain things and dislikes for others are closely associated with our emotions.
Emotional Health
It is our emotions that lead us to act impulsively at times. Thus a high level of self-awareness in this area is extremely useful. In fact, it is essential to our well-being. After all, things and relationships that may take us years to build can be destroyed in a moment of anger.
There are positive and negative emotions. Positive emotions such as love, compassion and joy should be cultivated, while negative emotions such as fear, anger and hate need to be eradicated.
When asked about this, a wise sage of India once illustrated with a story:
An old man said to his grandson, "Boy, I have two tigers caged within me. One is love and compassion. The other is fear and anger."
The young boy asked,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session., "Which one will win, grandfather?"
The old man replied,, "The one I feed."
At times, it may seem that we have no control over our emotions. This is not true. The truth is how well we manage our emotions depends on how aware we are of our emotions, particularly on the arising of our emotions. The earlier we are able to note the arising of our emotions, we better we can manage them.
More and more researches are showing that our well-being is closely linked to our emotional and mental health. Our body's immune system is generally enhanced by positive mental outlook and emotion. Conversely, it is depressed by negative mental and emotional states. Thus, stress, worry, anger and fear are some states that may lead to physical illnesses such as hypertension, cardiac diseases, peptic ulcers,, depression and a host of other ailments.
Physical Health
To maintain an optimum physical well-being, therefore, requires us to focus not only on our body but also our mind and emotions.
On a physical level,, our body can be kept healthy through adequate sleep and rest, proper nutrition, regular exercises and a healthy environment that is free from pollution.
Spiritual Health
Throughout the ages, wise men have consistently informed and taught us that we are essentially spiritual beings.
Although medical science has not been able to reveal to us our spiritual nature, there are many indirect evidence that we would be foolish to ignore. Stories from people who had gone through a near death experience (NDE),,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session., or dying people with heightened nearing death awareness, or simply a cure from an 'incurable' disease all suggest that there is more to life than just the physical state.
Major religions of the world all based their teachings on the belief that we are essentially spiritual beings. According to these teachings,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session.,, our physical existence is secondary.
While it may be true that we should focus our life more on our spiritual nature than our physical nature, it would be difficult for the majority of people to do so, at least not immediately. Things cannot change overnight. Mindset, however, can, and that is perhaps the best place to start.
Financial Health
However, on a more mundane level, most people are still stuck on how to survive from day to day, where to get the next cheque to pay for the house installment,, so on and so forth.
Practically, therefore, we need to look into ways to achieve a financial state that would theoretically free us from the constrain of 'forced' work. This is where the concept of financial freedom is so attractive. According to this concept, one should strive for a state where we have one or more than one source of income that can be generated passively, that is, even when we don't work.
This is what Robert Kiyosaki termed as 'passive income'.
According to him, passive income can only be achieved by becoming an investor or a business owner, not a sole proprietor or an employee. To become an investor or a business owner, you must spend the time and money to acquire financial intelligence. Unlike IQ or EQ, you can acquire financial intelligence through self education.
To get a financial health check-up, consult an accountant, a banker or a financial planner you can trust.
Healthy Relationship
"No man is an island, entire by itself."
As a medical doctor, I am in a unique position to confront and comfort dying patients. One of the most important thing that I have observed is that dying people do not ask about their money or possessions. Instead, they focus their remaining energy and strength on trying to heal wounded relationships. It is as though there is an inherent need to get a proper closure to a relationship.
Thus, forming and cultivating a healthy relationship is important for our well-being. Unfortunately, this is something we often ignored until it is too late. If there is any forgiving to be done, or the need to be forgiven, leaving things to the last minutes may end up with an unfulfilled desire for a closure.
Knowing this now, shouldn't we spend more time and effort in improving our relationship with our loved ones, especially with our parents,, spouse, children and siblings?

PLANS to monitor millions of emails,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session.,, texts and website visits are vital to trap killers like Ian Huntley and smash paedo rings,, Theresa May declares today.
,, the Home Secretary says the new powers are needed to “help police stay one step ahead of the criminals”.
She vows that GCHQ spies will NOT target ordinary people.
Only terror suspects and serious criminals such as Soham child murderer Huntley have anything to fear.
Mrs May insists: “I’m not willing to risk more terrorist plots succeeding and more paedophiles going free.” Her comments come as experts warn that the crackdown — set to cost ?2billion over ten years — could backfire.
Web expert Trefor Davies fears terrorists and paedos will use so-called “proxy servers” on the web to avoid detection.
He said: “You could send emails back and forth to al-Qaeda to your heart’s content,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session.,, the Government wouldn’t know.”
Mr Davies said of paedophiles: “There is a danger we are driving people to an underground culture.”
Concerns of Information Commissioner Christopher Graham were revealed last night in previously restricted briefing papers.
He said keeping so much internet data is a “step change in the relationship between the citizen and the state”.
Tory MP Dominic Raab said the warnings “painted a frightening picture of mass surveillance on an unprecedented scale”. He added: “The expert advice is that there is no law enforcement case for monitoring every call made and every email sent by every innocent citizen.
“Far from making us safer,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session.,, these plans for Big Brother surveillance would expose us to massive fraud.”
Nick Pickles,, director of campaign group Big Brother Watch,, said: “The Government has offered no justification for what is unprecedented intrusion into our lives.”
PM David Cameron’s official spokesman said phone data collected would be about the duration of calls and the numbers dialled — not the call’s content.
He said: “We have to make sure that as technology changes we are able to maintain our capability.”

Nutrition Supplement ?nutrition.
Nutrition supplement is a term familiar to most of us. So what is nutrition supplement and why is it so important? Nutrition,, by dictionary definition,
The recipient goes into a state of deep relaxation and the therapist uses less energy during the session., is the sum of the processes by which someone takes in and utilizes food substances. One of the main advantages of utilizing food substances is the intake of vitamins, amino acids,, minerals,, herbs, etc. These are the things that make our body healthy.

You may have read my two recent postings about so-called “Cajun Country” in swampy southwest Louisiana. Well, it’s time to get your swamp boots and mosquito repellent on again, for right in the middle of the ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss,, and the black bayous — or slow-moving streams — full of alligators in the Louisiana marshes near the Gulf of Mexico is an amazing tropical oasis.
It’s Avery Island, a treasure island, in truth, that has been owned by the same family for more than 150 years.
Once called Petite Anse Island by the first French-speaking settlers who pushed out the native Indian population,, it was renamed for Daniel Dudley Avery, a judge from the state capital of Baton Rouge, who took over the island’s sugar plantation in 1849.
Before going further, I should point out that Avery Island is not really an island at all. It’s a 900-hectare [22-hundred-acre] rise atop a salt dome, 15 kilometers inland from the Gulf. By salt dome, I mean the tip of a seemingly bottomless pillar of salt that stretches farther down into the earth than the tallest mountain — Tibet’s Mount Everest — is high. Eventually Louisiana salt domes got covered over with rich sediment washed down the Mississippi and Red rivers, giving them the appearance of islands above their flat coastal surroundings.
And as a result, the big bump that is Avery Island is the highest spot of land between Brownsville at the southern tip of neighboring Texas and Key Largo, Florida, three states to the east.
During the American Civil War, Avery Island supplied more than 10 million kilos [about 22 million pounds] of salt to the southern Confederacy.
Four years after the war ended in 1864, a man named Edmund McIlhenny, who had married one of Daniel Avery’s daughters, began manufacturing pepper sauce on Avery Island. In 1870, he received patents for a processing formula that is, basically, still in use today.
McIlhenny began growing a variety of Capsicum peppers from Mexico and Central America on Avery Island. The sauce got its name from a . “Tabasco” is an Indian word meaning “humid land.”
The stuff was initially poured into cologne-type bottles with and sprinkler fittings. This was — and is — important, because Tabasco sauce is so concentrated that, if you have any sense,, you dash, not pour, it onto your food.
On Avery Island today, besides the salt mines and sauce factory, are oil wells, an incredible botanical garden,, a bird sanctuary where elegant white egrets roost by the hundreds,, and archaeological dig sites where mastodon bones, deep pockets of oil, and early Indian pottery have been unearthed.
A film orients visitors to the McIlhenny Company operation, where each workday,, almost three-quarters of a million little 57-milliliter bottles of flaming-red (and flaming-hot) Tabasco pepper sauce — and other bottles as large as four liters for restaurant use — rattle off production lines.
Let me reemphasize that: 720,000 bottles of hot sauce roll out of this otherwise-obscure piece of marshland each day.
Most are filled with the company’s signature red sauce, though the line has broadened to include a green jalepeño sauce and various steak sauces and meat marinades.
And everything,, including the egrets and other swamp creatures in the company’s “Jungle Gardens” — is owned by the McIlhennies.
The Mother Goose children’s rhyme notwithstanding, it isn’t Peter Piper who picks the pickled peppers. Over five months from July through November, local Acadians pick the Tabasco peppers, which have ripened in green, yellow, orange, and bright-red stages. That very day, others mash them in vats, add a little Avery Island salt, and seal the squishy mixture in large,, white-oak barrels.
Each is capped with a wooden cover into which several holes have been drilled. Then a thick layer of rock salt is piled atop the lid. Over the next three years of curing, the salt seeps in as the mixture ferments, while the mash develops a flavor that pepper aficionados can distinguish in a flash from other regional hot sauces.
As you might expect, the “Tabasco” name and the brand’s familiar diamond-shaped label and logo are vigorously guarded trademarks for products — including all sorts of shirts, snacks, posters, and other souvenirs — that the company sells in 160 countries around the world. According to some branding experts, Tabasco is second only to Coca-Cola as the most recognized trademark in the world.
In Japan, it’s used on pizza and spaghetti so much that many Japanese think Tabasco is Italian. In the American South — and almost without fail in Southwest Louisiana — just about every table will have three different spices on it: a little salt,, a little pepper, and a lot of pepper sauce. One descendant of the Avery family told me, with a wink, that dashing your first drop of Tabasco sauce on a soft-boiled egg as a child is a rite of manhood.
That’s macho hooey. I’ve seen some Louisiana women douse their eggs in Tabasco.
About 25 years ago, the McIlhenny Company began spreading some of its pepper-growing to farms in Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela,, and Mexico, as well as Avery Island. If there’s a blight or a revolution, the firm’s unique varieties of Tabasco peppers will be safe.
The same reasoning applies to hurricane devastation. The infamous, deadly Hurricane Katrina of 2005 barely brushed Avery Island,, but it destroyed the company’s offices and museum across the state in New Orleans. Because of its elevation, Avery Island was spared from terrible flooding triggered by Hurricane Rita, which smashed directly into Acadian Country just days later. But many of its workers were not so lucky at home.
As a last-ditch safeguard for the unique Tabasco taste, more than 20 kilos of seeds are locked in vaults on the island and in a bank in New Iberia, the nearest town.
Tourists find their way to Avery Island to see the peppers growing, the egrets roosting, and the mashers mashing. Unlike a brewery or winery tour, where the samples are ample and refreshing, most visitors to the McIlhenny operation find that one small taste of Tabasco sauce is plenty, thank you.
Ted's Wild Words
These are a few words from this posting that you may not know. Each time, I'll tell you a little about them and also place them into a cumulative archive of "" in the right-hand column of the home page. Just click on it there, and if there's another word that you'd like me to explain, just ask!
Capsicum peppers. For lack of a better word, these are chili peppers. The words “capsicum,” “chili,” “chille,” “chile,,” and even “paprika” are interchangeable when it comes to the taste of hot peppers.
Hooey. Nonsense or senseless talk, as in, especially, a bunch of hooey.
