Debenhams Reveal Men's Age of Invisibility Increased by at Least a Decade

Debenhams has revealed that the age at which men become 'invisible' to women has advanced by at least a decade, according to new research* carried out by the retailer. Men can now win a woman's attention based on looks alone up until they are 55 years old.

Just 30 years ago, few women would have found any man over 45 years old worth a second glance, rendering them effectively invisible at any gathering.?

Ruth Attridge, Debenhams' spokeswoman said: "Older men are now remaining more attractive to women women's jackets for longer than ever before.

"They are increasingly seen as eligible, prospective partners rather than old bores with little energy left to catch the female eye.??

"It's great news for George Clooney and Brad Pitt, but might not make that much difference to Bruce Forsyth."

A much greater emphasis on dressing well and keeping fit has dramatically improved the impression an older man can create across a crowded room, Debenhams' research shows.

Many men now spend a lot of time, either alone, with a partner or with a professional personal shopper, selecting styles which suit their figure, as well as paying attention to colour co-ordination to complement their complexion, hair and eye colour.

Baldness is no longer seen as a stigma, and even a slight paunch isn't enough to prevent him from gaining female attention.?

The trend towards women marrying and having children in their late 30s and early 40s has also decreased the age difference which would once have made older men ineligible.

They often find the increased financial status of older men reassuring because it can represent increased security for their children.

Ruth Attridge continued: "The simple fact is that older men no longer dress, look or act like granddads.

"Instead they often look at least 10 years younger than they really are, making them instantly appealing to women of a much younger age.

"Few older men now walk into a store and bulk-buy the first item they see. They understand that continuing to look good after fifty means putting much more effort into dressing well for every occasion. Younger men, by comparison, still feel that they don't really have to try that hard. ???????

"Looks are still everyone's initial method of judging the worth of a potential partner, so this is a major forward for single older men." ?

The Shower Hug? Breastfeeding Support Receives Double Honors

The Shower Hug?, a bandeau wrap worn around the bust line of pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to support and protect sore breasts and nipples while showering, has been awarded US Patent 7,775,851. The Shower Hug? is distributed by Belmama & Cherub? LLC and is brainchild to Andria Sgro. "The Shower Hug? is a little piece of luxury that helps women reclaim the serenity of their shower. Those few minutes of 'me-time' are once again a time to cleanse the body and clear the mind," says Sgro, the Shower Hug? creator and veteran mother of two young children. Tested, tried and true and now available at over 50 fine retail outlets across the country and around the globe including Amazon.com, Sgro was recently awarded "Mompreneur of the Month" for October 2010 by trusted Pregnancy Magazine.

Sore nipples and tender breasts are common side-effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding and the discomfort caused women's jackets by shower sprays pelting the breasts is a genuine problem. Time in the shower is generally regarded as a time of comfort and solitude. Time in the shower for a new mom is priceless; it is often the only "me-time" she experiences over the course of her day. These moments should not be rushed or spent shielding sore breasts from stinging shower streams.

Made of wonderfully-soft knit terry velour, the Shower Hug? is lightweight and absorbent to soak up warm water in the shower, creating a therapeutic warm compress. With hands-free convenience, the Shower Hug? creates a cushion between tender breasts and harsh shower sprays. Additionally, it protects the nipples and areolas from the sting of soap and chemical residues left by toiletries that can further irritate sensitive skin.

The Shower Hug? is made of high-quality, double-sided knit terry velour and secured by a four-inch ultra low profile Velcro? closure that won't snag fabric or scratch delicate skin. The Shower Hug? is stretchy and beautifully contours to the changing bust lines of pregnant and post-partum mothers. The Shower Hug? also extends its comforting embrace to women undergoing treatment for breast cancer and those recovering from surgical procedures to the breasts.

The Shower Hug? is available in four sizes and three color combinations. It is available online at http://www.showerhug.com, http://www.amazon.com and at select birthing centers and maternity boutiques across the country and globe. Complimenting burp cloths, wash cloths and infant bath sheets are also available.

Belmama & Cherub?LLC crafts all products with quality and pride in the U.S.A.

About Belmama & Cherub? LLC
Andria Sgro is the president and founder of Belmama & Cherub? LLC. She founded the company and began production of her first product, the Shower Hug?, in 2006, just one day after her son's first birthday. Sgro was born and raised in the small town of Ewing, N.J. She graduated from the Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania in 1998. She now resides in San Diego with her husband and two young children. Sgro runs Belmama & Cherub? LLC with her most trusted confidante, business partner, and sister, Alaina Tonelli.

FatCow Employees Bowl for Charity; Donate Coats for Kids and Toys for Tots

Every bowler knows that thre fashion coats online e strikes in a row is called a "turkey," but a web hosting company named "FatCow" takes its animal metaphors seriously. Each year around Thanksgiving time, FatCow's employees, affectionately known as the "Moo Crew," participate in a bowling event that raises money for its local Food Bank. And at $10/strike, that can buy a lot of turkeys.

In fact, FatCow, a leading provider of web hosting, domain registration and related marketing services, puts on a series of events each year during the holidays, designed not only to foster camaraderie among the Moo Crew, but also to give something back to their community.

"What's always separated FatCow from other places," said Paul Bukhovko, FatCow's Marketing Manager, "is the people – our staff, our customers, and our neighbors and community. That's why our customer support team is consistently rated one of the best in the industry; that's why we went 'green' by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates to offset our energy use; and that's why our employee events focus on both fun and doing something for others."

Every year, the week before Thanksgiving, the company turns its lunch room into a multi-lane bowling alley, and employees take turns seeing how many pins they can knock down. And, for the second year in a row, FatCow pledged to donate $10 to the Greater Boston Food Bank for every strike that was thrown.

"It's always a fun event for our staff," said Bukhovko, "and fortunately, we've got some very good bowlers here! I think we bowled about 81 strikes, including the playoffs. We then rounded up to donate $1,000 to the Greater Boston Food Bank." Playoffs? "Oh, yes," Bukhovko responded with a smile. "It does get competitive towards the end. I won't say who won, but I will say that he now has bragging rights for the next 12 months."

Bowling isn't FatCow's only holiday event, however. At the yearly company holiday party, employees participate in a "Yankee Swap." In addition to getting gifts for each other, staff members also bring in Coats for Kids, a program run by Anton's Cleaners in Eastern Mass., and Toys for Tots, the charity run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves. And if that weren't enough, FatCow plans to donate $10 to the Pine Street Inn, a Boston-based homeless shelter, for each coat and toy donated by one of its employees.

"We're aiming for another $1,000 donation to another great local charity, this time to the Pine Street Inn," said Bukhovko. "And our 'Moo Crew' really gets into the drive for coats and toys. Everyone knows about the Marines' great Toys for Tots program. Plus, Anton's Cleaners does a lot of good work locally with their Coats for Kids program."

FatCow pioneered the "one plan one price" philosophy when it began offering its signature all-in-one website hosting solution, The FatCow, back in 1998.

Debenhams Reveals that British Builder Style is in Fashion

Debenhams, the leading department store, has revealed that a style of dress straight from Britain's building sites is now causing a sensation on high fashion catwalks around the world.
?
Jeans (http://www.debenhams.com/men/jeans), often torn, tucked into partially untied boots, worn together with tight men's t-shirts(http://www.debenhams.com/men/tops-polos) and stubble - the clothes worn by thousands of labourers, carpenters and digger drivers all over the UK - has created a powerful sales force over the last year, Debenhams sales figures reveal.
?
Even world famous celebrities such as Justin Timberlake, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Seal are now copying the ultra masculine style, known as 'working man chic'.
?
Debenhams director of menswear buying, Paul Baldwin said: "Somewhere out there is a labourer whose dress sense started the whole thing off.? The trend has created a billion pound men's clothing (http://www.debenhams.com/men) industry - but he probably doesn't know it."
?
women's coats online Debenhams sales of working man style men's boots (http://www.debenhams.com/shoes/men) have leapt by 106 percent in the last two months alone. Lumberjack style shirts, braces, and jeans with multiple pockets - classic clothing for the building trade - have also rocketed by 270 percent, 114 percent and 139 percent respectively since January.
?
The style has even appeared in Spring/Summer 2011 collections from leading designers such as Dolce and Gabbana.
?
Paul Baldwin continued: "When demand began to rise three years ago, we first thought it was caused by genuine working men buying their working clothes from our stores.
?
"However, when the trend spread quickly to stores where a high percentage of our customers are young and fashion conscious, we realised that the style was moving from the building sites to the high street, pubs and clubs.
?
"We believe that the sudden popularity of 'working man chic' may say something about the changing role of men in society.
?
"For the last two decades, fashion conscious men wanted to look like successful city slickers.
?
"Now, when times are hard and banking has lost its appeal, they want to be seen as rugged but very dependable - the sort of man who has a large tool box as well as a warm heart."
?
'Working man chic' has also found favour with leading pop groups such as JLS, the Wanted and teen heart-throb Zac Efron.
?

"The 'In Brief: What if Ur Undies Had the Last Word' campaign is designed to help sexually active people (and those thinking about having sex) communicate about the risks before they take their clothes off. We are confident the awareness raised by this campaign will encourage people to talk about their sexual health before they are in a risky situation."

In addition to the grand prize winner, an ISIS expert panel of judges will award a $250 scholarship (or cash equivalent) for their favorite entry chosen from the top 100 generating the most buzz across the Internet. All people who vote or review in the contest will be eligible to win another $250 scholarship or cash equivalent awarded at the end of the contest as well.

"The 'In Brief: What if Ur Undies Had the Last Word' campaign will help enlighten people about the dangers of unprotected sex and introduce steps they can take to protect their sexual health.

Official HCG Diet Plan Review Released

The Official HCG Diet Plan has finally been released after much anticipation and has already made a life-altering change in the lives of many participants who have struggled to see success with other weight loss programs.

Unlike many other HCG programs, the Official HCG Diet Plan was bold enough to make this diet method available to everyone online.

After a quick Official HCG Diet Plan review, HCGDietHq.com believes this program help participants to finally live a healthy life at a healthy weight, lose weight without using costly pre-purchased frozen meals, and access scientific strategies to weight loss without injections or costly doctor visits. Early users of the program have been stating they were able to lose weight with little or no exercise regimens, break streaks of failure with other diets and strategies, and finally fit into their old wardrobe of smaller-sized clothing.

"I have been struggling with my weight for the past few years and was diagnosed with Type II diabetes 3 years ago," said Shawn, a participant of the program. "I have been using HCG for 3 weeks and my blood sugar has dropped to normal levels after losing 25 lbs. My doctor told me to stop taking Actos (no longer needed) and if my blood sugar remains constant, I can stop taking Metformin."

Renee C., another participant of the program, said, "Your product does everything you claim and MORE. People around me keep asking about the weight loss and I can't help myself from exploding with all the details. It's so amazing to wake up each day with energy, happy, and in control."

HCG is a hormone that is usually found in pregnant women. It helps the body to utilize fat stored as energy rather than carbohydrates and protein while suppressing appetites. Using HCG to burn fat at an accelerated rate for energy gives participants more energy while trimming their waist, legs, and arms.

Pacific Amber and YESpay’s Partnership Takes Another Dimension as Large Numbers of Merchants Go Live in North America!

A growing number of merchants in Canada and USA are now Live and EMV Chip & PIN enabled thanks to the trio: Pacific Amber Technologies, YESpay International and Chase Paymentech! Since 2010, merchants using AmberPOS are able to process EMV Chip & PIN transactions via YESpay's fully EMV and PCI-DSS certified payment solution, EMBOSSTM. Adoption is now exploding because of this successful partnership and the increasing need to adopt Chip and PIN in Canada as a result of the EMV liability shift.

With live merchants all across North America, Pacific Amber Technologies constitutes a reliable and valuable partner to both YESpay and Chase Paymentech resulting in the successful national rollout of merchants of all sizes. All three parties are working closely together to be at the front of emerging cutting-edge technologies and to offer the fastest time to market and low-cost EMV payment solution possible to merchants.

As Harry Morge, National Sales Manager at YESpay explains, "This strong partnership with Pacific Amber and Chase Paymentech is really fruitful, and is now taking another dimension. Indeed, the merchant base is growing every month, and we jointly assist merchants in both USA and Canada. Pacific Amber will leverage another channel supported by YESpay, namely e-commerce, thus offering a multi-channel solution to its merchants. I am looking forward to continuing developing this relationship!"

"Wear a piece of 3Q jewellery or clothing and tell the world you are single, open to a conversation and blessed with a sense of humour. The jewellery acts as an ice-breaker, allowing the person who spots the attractive jewellery for singles, to strike up a conversation by asking 3 amusing or at least thought-provoking questions (hence the "3Q" name).

"These questions can range from simply, 'Why do superheroes always wear their underwear on the outside of their clothes?' to the more involved 'Why is Donkey Kong called that, if he's not even a donkey?' to the possible deal-breaker 'Toilet paper – over or under?' This dialogue may in turn lead to who knows - a new friend, business contact, date, or even marriage. Is there anyone on this planet that doesn't need more friends, contacts or love?"

Karin Strickler, a self-professed matchmaker, wanted to design a product that allowed single people to meet in person. Thrust back onto the singles' scene after her marriage dissolved in 1998, the desire to meet someone soon rose to the forefront. She was however, ill-equipped for the challenge. With her self-esteem at an all-time low, and very little time left over fo women's jackets r socializing at night clubs or singles' events (being a single mom), the search seemed frustrating, tedious, and never-ending. Strickler's dating life soon consisted of sifting through many profiles online, trying to discern what was true and who was who.

"In retrospect, what I would have given my eye teeth for, was to casually meet someone whenever I was out and about, at my favourite haunts, like a coffee shop, restaurant, or even book store. That's when the 3Q Connection idea hit me. Here was finally a way for single people to meet anytime and anywhere – plus the added luxury of connecting in their own communities," elaborates Strickler.

"Another advantage," adds Strickler, "especially for the person hoping to start the conversation, is the greatly reduced fear of rejection - men in particular, seem to be very relieved that the single person standing a mere few feet from them, is actually interested in meeting someone new. This knowledge does away with the need for coming up with awkward pick-up lines and leaves egos intact." To see the 3Q Connection concept in "tongue-in-cheek" action, please click on the Youtube link: http://youtu.be/jUZww3Vvo-Q

Rob Strickler, a co-founder and Strickler's husband, believes the company's tagline says it all, "If you wear it, they will come", and reminds people to remember to have fun and enjoy their journey to finding love. The 3Q Connection jewellery and clothing is available online at http://www.3Qconnection.com.

40th Title IX Anniversary to be Commemorated by Lucy and Peppermint Patty

It is a little known fact that Charles M. Schulz, creator of the Peanuts comic strip, was a substantial supporter of women in sports and Title IX. As June 23, 2012 approaches, marking the 40th Title IX anniversary, the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California is commemorating this milestone in sports history with an exhibition called Leveling the Playing Field.

After Schulz met sports icon Billie Jean King, he highlighted the issue of females in sports with a multi-day storyline in 1979 about Title IX in his comic strip. Schulz brought attention to women athletes by mentioning contemporary female sports stars and featured his girl characters participating in a wide variety of sports, from football to figure skating.

Peggy Fleming, Olympic figure skating gold-medal winner and a fellow trustee with Schulz on the Woman's Sports Foundation said, "He [Schulz] brought a tremendous amount of attention to Title IX. These important issues, as experienced through the lives of the Peanuts characters, had a profound impact on the way people viewed girls and women in sports."

The Museum's exhibition, Leveling the Playing Field, celebrates the Title IX anniversary and features Charles Schulz's even-handed depiction of girls in sports with 86 original Peanuts comic strips, an overview of women's sports history, and examples of women's sports attire from the 1880s to the present. The exhibition also details Schulz's connections in the world of women's sports, his friendships with Billie Jean King and Peggy Fleming, and his early years coaching a local women's softball team.

Note: Title IX, legislation that ensures equal access to both men and women in federally-funded educational programs and activities, including sports, was passed in 1972. However by 1979, seven years after Title IX was signed into law, many of the law's supporters were unhappy with the lack of effective implementation of the legislation. Schulz created a series of Peanuts daily strips to increase public awareness and support for Title IX. Three of these strips are included with this news r women's coats elease.

SPEAK OUT T-SHIRTS
The Museum has teamed with Title Nine clothing company to produce three shirts for women who love Peanuts and want to commemorate the passage of Title IX with whimsy. Magenta and citrus shirts are available through the Museum's on-line store and Title Nine. The aqua shirt is available exclusively through Title Nine.

Jobs Report Shows Continued Jobs Shortage - Network Marketing Provides Opportunities for Women Entrepreneurs in Booming Anti-Aging Sector

MLM Network Marketing provides opportunities for women entrepreneurs in booming anti-aging sector, skincare products popular with aging boomers.

The U.S. Department of Labor today releases its closely watched monthly jobs report, which may show modest improvement in the jobs picture but likely also will highlight a continued jobs shortage with millions of long-term unemployed Americans still struggling to find work in a bad economy. Today's Bureau of Labor Statistics report follows last month's report showing the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.3 percent.

Although economists predict some improvement in the jobs picture, they do not expect to see significant movement in a job market in which the unemployment rate has been above 8 percent for 42 consecutive months and the average length of joblessness for those remaining in the labor force is nearly 39 weeks. These data exclude the women's jackets millions of Americans who have stopped looking altogether and dropped out of the workforce. Six million job seekers have exhausted their unemployment benefits since the start of the economic downturn in 2007, according to a National Employment Law Project report.

With nearly 13 million Americans unemployed, and 21 million either under- or unemployed, sustained strong job growth is needed just to make a dent in the problem, according to recent statements from the Federal Reserve. Small businesses, many started by women, remain the nation's primary creator of new jobs.

Over the past year, statistics show high numbers of women leaving the workforce due to the Great Recession and for personal considerations. Many women leave the labor force temporarily or permanently to care for children and other family members, making work-from-home careers an attractive option that provides the flexibility necessary to balance work and family responsibilities.

And the historic period of high unemployment is fueling consideration of alternative careers, with many women entrepreneurs exploring work-from-home opportunities including new ventures in multi-level marketing focused on the booming anti-aging sector.

Reports show that despite the challenging economic outlook women entrepreneurs are capitalizing on new work-from-home opportunities in MLM marketing, an alternative to traditional office jobs, starting their own successful businesses from home and making money on their own terms.

According to reports, as the nation's population ages demand is expected to rise for such anti-aging therapies as skincare products and vitamin supplements, a network marketing segment poised for expansion as the nation's aging baby boomers start to retire.

“Love Your Enemies”

?€?Love Your Enemies?€?/p>

Question?

Are you a disciple of The Messiah?

Now a disciple is someone who follows the teachings of another! Do you follow the teachings of another or are you self-disciplined, a disciple of your own self? The Messiah teaches that you should, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that you may be the children of your Father, HE WHO is in Heaven;" (Matthew 5:44-45a)

Have you chosen to be a Child of ?€?Our Father?€?

If so, then you desire to follow the teachings of The Messiah?€??€?.

"You have heard that it has been said, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, that you resist not evil: but whoever smites you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. And whoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two. Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you, turn him not away. You have heard that it has been said, ?€?you shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy?€? but I say unto you, Love Your Enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that you may be the Children of your Father WHO is in heaven: for HE makes HIS sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love them who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even politicians do so? And if you salute your brethren only, what are you doing more than others? Do not even politicians do so? Therefore be perfect, even as your Father, WHO is in heaven, is perfect."(Matthew 5:38-48)

The teachings of The Messiah you just read were preceded by the following verse in what the religions of this world call the ?€?bible?€? "Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven." (Matthew 5:19) Some believe that this scripture spoke of the laws within the Old Testament, yet this verse could apply to the teachings of The Messiah that followed, one of which was to "Love Your Enemies"! The Messiah also testified, "Why do you call Me, Master(Lord), Master(Lord), and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46) and He testified, "If you love Me, keep My commandments!" (John 14:15, also read verses 16-24)

At the end of The Messiah?€?s teachings, in what is commonly called "the sermon on the mount" (Matthew chapters 5,6 and 7) the following testimony was given by The Messiah. "Not every one that says unto Me, Master, Master, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that does the will of My Father WHO is in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? And in Thy Name have cast out devils? And in Thy Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity. Therefore WHOEVER HEARS these sayings of Mine, AND DOES them, I will liken him unto A WISE MAN, who built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And EVERY ONE THAT HEARS these sayings of Mine, AND DOES THEM NOT, shall be likened unto A FOOLISH MAN, who built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it." (Matthew 7:21-27)

"Hears these sayings and does them"! May The Messiah?€?s GOD and Father, HE WHO is ?€?Our Father?€?and GOD, help us that we would hear and do! For except HE gives the grace and strength, except HE gives of HIS Spirit, none could do! ?€?The elect "cry unto GOD day and night"! (Luke 18:7b)

The letters in what this world calls the ?€?bible?€?are in perfect harmony with The Messiah?€?s teaching of "Love Your Enemies". ?€?Bless them who persecute you: bless, and curse not." (Romans 12:14) "Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not your selves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord. Therefore if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink: for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:17-21)

"See that none renders evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men." (I Thessalonians 5:15) "Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that you were called to do so, that you should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if you are followers of that which is good? But and if you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the LORD GOD in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you for the reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in The Messiah." (I Peter 3:9-13)

"For we wrestl women's coats e not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12) "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through GOD to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of The Messiah;" (II Corinthians10:3-5)

"You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of The Messiah. No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please HIM who has chosen him to be a soldier." (II Tim 2:3-4) "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, Will of GOD." (Romans 12:1-2)

Many desire and expect ease in this temporal life, but tribulation awaits those that follow the teachings of The Messiah in this world! Yet, what a blessed end! "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Matthew 5:10-12) "Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of GOD." (Acts 14:22) "These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 12:33) "For unto you it is given in the behalf of The Messiah, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake; having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me." (Philippians 1:29-30) "Forasmuch then as The Messiah has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the Will of GOD." (I Peter 4:1-2)

Whom do you follow? Do you desire The Will of ?€?The One GOD, Father of All?€? Have you chosen to serve GOD and follow HIS Only Begotten Son, The Messiah, on The Way to The Truth of The Life? The Messiah was ?€?a servant of The Only True GOD?€?br />and The Messiah Loved His Enemies! Whom do you follow? Whom do you serve? "No man can serve two masters!" (Matt 6:24a)

Choose rightly! Choose to follow The Messiah! Chose to be His disciple and call upon GOD day and night for the strength needed to "Love Your Enemies" so that you might "enter in at the strait gate": "for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there are who enter that gate: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14) Be one of the few!

Lest there be confusion it is well to remember that The Messiah ?€?Loved His Enemies?€? and so it was when He rebuked the pharisee?€?s, those religious zealots who denied Him as they sought to crucify The Truth: ?€?Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! You build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,?€?(Matthew 23:27-29) Yes, The Messiah loved them! And so He told them The Truth even though He knew the pharisee?€?s wanted to kill Him. ?€?Some save with compassion, others with fear....?€?/p>

"But i say unto you which hear, Love Your Enemies!!! (Luke 6:27a) Are you listening? Do you hear? The Messiah testified, "...whoever HEARS these sayings of Mine, and DOES them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which built his house upon a rock:" (Matthew 7:24) and "And WHY do you call Me, Master, Master, and do not the things which I say?"(Luke 6:46) "For whoever shall do the will of My Father WHO is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Matthew 13:50) The teachings of The Messiah are of The Only True GOD, for The Messiah spoke The Words of GOD, and GOD?€?s Word is HIS Will! And The Messiah teaches us to "Love Our Enemies"! Do you ?€?Love Your Enemies?€?

And the religious systems that are of this world?

Do they follow The Messiah, ?€?The Prince of Peace?€?

Do they exhort their ?€?members?€?to ?€?Love Your Enemies?€?in deed, or by word only?

Would Faith create a system of religion?

Seems the fruit of death is born of religious ways, for life becomes but a pawn in the wicked game they play ;-(

The Messiah testified, ?€?Whoever lives and believes in Me(what I taught and My example of The Life) shall never die!?€?

And then The Messiah questioned, ?€?Do you believe this??€?YES! ?€?I believe Master, help me if i have any unbelief?€?€??€?.

And you? Do you believe?

If you believe then you will ?€?Love Your Enemies?€?

And those who believe in The Messiah will also desire what He desired above all else:

Simply, ?€?Father, not my will, But THY Will Be Done?€?

Simply, such a desire is ?€?The Way to The Truth of The Life?€?

So simple that a child, a child of ?€?Our Father?€?that is, will understand.

Such ?€?Children?€?will no longer deny and defy The Father that Created them, and will not be of those ?€?The Creator will destroy because they are destroying and perverting HIS Creation(earth, air, water, creatures, Truth, Peace, Love, Hope,, etc)?€? They, as The Messiah did, will bear witness to a ?€?wicked world?€? a ?€?world that hates them?€?

Lest there be confusion, it is well to realize that we are not to ?€?love this world?€?for this world is the dominion of ?€?the father of lies?€? he who is ?€?the angel of light?€? ?€?d?€漞vil spirit that is ?€?the god of this world?€? Yet we are to love those who are held captive by ?€?d?€漞vil and who are servikng ?€?time?€?in the prison that is his world ;-(

John testified, ?€?love not the world or its things?€? and ?€?if any man loves this world, the Love of The Father is not in him?€?for ?€?the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one?€?

James testified, ?€?whoever is a friend of this world is the enemy of The Only True GOD?€?

?€?Love Your Enemies?€?refers to mankind, not the creation of mankind?€?s ?€?imag?€漣nation!

Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(hate) that is of this wicked world?€??€?. francisco

Tips For Lighting And Watering Your Greenhouse

Lighting and watering your greenhouse are two of the most important factors in running it.

You will need a good soil for planting seeds. Compost, potting or gardening soil and a little sand or perlite are a good start. Read all directions in your seed packets.

Keep some of those black plastic flats that nurseries use to display their plant containers. These are useful for starting sees and transplants.

Benches in greenhouses are essential, as they hold trays of plants that have already sprouted from seeds.

Styrofoam cups ?€" have several of these handy. Seeds sprout quickly and once they grow large enough to move into separate containers, they can be gently lifted and transferred into ordinary Styrofoam cups.

You can also use yogurt plastic cups, and large commercial type containers that can hold more than one plant. In fact, any container you can think of will be suitable.

Other materials you should have on hand are broken clay pots, cracked walnuts, marbles, charcoal or gravel. These help in proper drainage. Be sure to soak clay pots women's jackets in water a few minutes before using them. This will prevent the clay from absorbing the moisture from the potting soil.

If you want to have trellises inside your greenhouse, you can make them out of coat hangers, which you can bend to any shape your heart desires.

Herbs are perfect for keeping pests at bay. They are what one writer calls ?€?nature's insecticides?€? Have a variety of them inside your greenhouse. You can make a natural insecticide by adding onions or garlic to a jar of water. Leave it for a week and spray on your plants.

Other garden tools that will help you run your greenhouse efficiently are air coolers for the hot summer. This is to maintain the temperatures at desired levels. Power vents in the roof are also a good idea to release hot air that can build up suddenly in the summer.

In the winter, a good heater would be nice to warm the greenhouse. Other accessories you need are a humidifier, a CO2 generator, and a mister.

Greenhouse lighting system.

A type of light called high intensity discharge lighting (HID) used to be employed by commercial growers in large greenhouses. However, the idea of artificial lighting to stimulate plant growth became increasingly popular.

H.I.D. lighting not only adds to natural sunlight, but can actually serve as a substitute during long winters when natural sunlight is in scant supply. They are energy efficient and operational costs are low. Here are just a few of the benefits of HID lighting:

Increases the health and strength of plants, and stimulates growth and yield rates,

Supplements natural sunlight; by using HID lighting, you also extend ?€?day length?€?

Enables container outdoor plants on decks and patios during the summer to be moved indoors during the winter,

Are definitely more powerful than conventional fluorescents.

Greenhouse tables, shelving and plant holders

These are indispensable, especially when you need to work inside your greenhouse and to maximize and organize your greenhouse space. As your plant varieties grow, you will need shelves and tables and plant holders to facilitate your gardening. One popular type of bench that greenhouse hobbyists like is the cedar double layer bench. They are durable and efficient to use.

For shelves, you can opt for two and three section lengths made of aluminum.

Given that watering your plants is an essential ?€" indispensable -part of any greenhouse gardening, a good watering system is required. You can choose either the automatic or hand held watering system to make your watering needs more efficient.

For automatic irrigation systems, there are models that come equipped with an automatic drip irrigation and fertilizer system. Day or night, they regularly water the plants and adjust the flow of fertilizer. Some have a tank in which the water and fertilizer are mixed and are distributed to plants via hoses, Y-connections and drip pins.

Greenhouse garden coil indoor/outdoor watering wand

This is a "self-coiling" garden hose made of rugged and durable polyurethane tubing. It produces ultra-fine mists and sprays in soft, gentle streams. Some wand models extend to as long as 50 feet. No hassle storage because of self-coiling mechanism.

Greenhouses constantly evolve in style and design. It follows then that tools and accessories will grow in number or existing ones will be considerably improved. Manufacturers are probably inventing more tools and accessories this very moment that will make our work in greenhouses easier and quicker.

Remember that you are not limited to a certain variety of plants to grow in a greenhouse. Bear in mind, however, that your preference for certain fruits, vegetables and plants will determine the type of greenhouse you like to build. ?€?Know thy crop?€?is an important factor before deciding on the greenhouse type you will install.
