February 22nd, 2009 - Covert Cameras
I have always liked spy toys, but covert cameras have always been my favorite. There is something about a hidden camera that is just so captivating to anyone who grew up during the Cold War. Nowadays, photographic evidence doesn’t mean quite as much as it used to ” photos can be convincingly doctored ” but there was a time when a picture was the most definite kind of proof you could get.
Covert surveillance cameras were the best weapon of law enforcement to catch dangerous fugitives or intercept spies in the midst of their dirty deeds. A covert camera could be used to bring back nuclear secrets from Russia or provide convincing evidence that a prisoner of war was still alive after being held for months.
Although some of the glamor around covert cameras has died down, the cameras themselves are better than ever. Things which were unthinkable or at least difficult to imagine 20 years ago are now a part of every day reality. You can have cameras the size of a tie pin that can get reasonably good resolution ” at least at close range. Slightly larger covert cameras can be smuggled around as lipstick, pens, or flashlights. You could even hide one in your shoe if you wanted to. Even video cameras can be made pretty tiny. I have seen covert cameras small enough to fit on a small radio controlled airplane. With the impressive mini cameras available on the consumer market, who knows what the government can do.
Of course miniaturization isn’t everything nowadays. We’ve proven that we can get covert cameras very small, but sometimes a much more normally sized camera will do quite well. A hidden camera doesn’t need to be particularly tiny if you can conceal it properly. Through camouflage, skillful placement, and proper lighting, a fairly large covert camera can go undetected for months or even years.
Even so, to me there is nothing more secure than a covert camera hidden in plain sight. Covert cameras can be disguised as pretty much anything. Your camera could be a pack of cigarettes, your lighter, or even the frame on the side of your glasses. The last one is worthy of consideration because it provides a very convenient way to aim the camera. If you can take a picture just by looking at something, your secret spying is likely to go completely unnoticed. Despite the fact that these secret cameras don’t always work as well as in the movies, quite often they give you uncanny good results. It’s all a matter of picking out the right gear, positioning it in the right way, and making sure you have the one thing that cameras will always need ” light.
February 3rd, 2009 - Easy weight loss for busy women
If you are overweight then finding an easy weight loss program that suits you is probably something that you need for your health and surprisingly, there are ones that work. There is more harm caused to an overweight person than just pride as many serious medical conditions are as a result of obesity.
There is an abundance of information about easy weight loss methods on the Internet but how many pounds are lost will depend a great deal on the attitude of the user. to remain healthy, or is it because someone else wants you to lose weight.
Effective weight loss programs require you take certain facts into consideration; for instance, the time you eat during the day as well as what it is you eat, how often and whether you exercise at all. Weight loss should not be achieved at a rapid rate so do not expect to lose thirty pounds each and every month because you will not achieve this and may create physical problems that often occur when weight is lost quickly.
To keep it simple, consider that a pound in weight is generally believed to be 3,500 calories and then it’s easy to break down into daily reductions of 500 calories, meaning you can lose a pound in weight each week. Most of us eat too much and definitely an excess of junk foods which we shouldn’t rely on the way we do although it is not a good idea cut out everything you enjoy.
Of course we often eat more when we do not feel very good about ourselves or are depressed about our lives, which is often called comfort eating. Problems occur when medical conditions arise from overeating, like diabetes which is on the increase but we must not forget other diseases like cancer, heart conditions and raised blood pressure. When dealing with an overweight person, you cannot rely solely on any easy weight loss diet to be a cure-all’ when the psychological factor has not been considered.
One aspect that also needs to be included is how the person pursues the subject of their weight loss program as those who take a more relaxed approach are usually more successful. The one thing that has shown to be true no matter what you do in life is that being positive about something is more likely to make it happen. The great thing about weight loss is the extra energy you feel and how much more positive your outlook is to life in general which obviously has an impact on self-esteem as well.
Once the effects of an easy weight loss program are felt by the dieter, they feel more positive about the future and realize the result they want to achieve is possible.
February 2nd, 2009 - These Creams Help Fight Signs Of Aging
There is nothing you can do to stop time, but are there ways to make it look like you can? If you browse the customer reviews of several anti-wrinkle and aging creams, you would find that some people believe it is impossible while others think they can. Here you will find a summary of those deemed the most effective, and the most ineffective, in the struggle to maintain a youthful look, and those to avoid wasting your money on.
There are two that consistently fit into the latter category. These products consistently failed to impress their users. Fusion Beauty Lift/Fusion Eye Lift consistently received ratings of two stars or less from several sources. Its main fault is that it does nothing. According to three-fourths of those customers who reviewed the product, it does nothing to reduce wrinkles or other signs of aging. The second that should be avoided is Dermitage. According to their product description, this cream reduces visible wrinkles in as little as one hour. In real life, however, it is a product that receives one star and does nothing.
On the flipside are two products that we deemed the best of the best. Fake Bake Self-Tanning Lotion provides a natural looking tan and reduces toxins in the skin. A youthful glow always makes one look (and feel) younger. Another winner is Juliet’s Anti-Aging Cream. Give it 24 hours and soon you’ll feel how soft and luxurious your skin can feel.
While there are several options available commercially, there are also things you can make at home that are just as effective. Here are a few of the best. Egg whites applied to the skin under your eyes will help reduce wrinkles there, and odor-free castor oil can be applied there, too, as well as the throat. Combining the contents of three vitamin E capsules, two teaspoons of plain yogurt, a half teaspoon of honey and a half teaspoon of lemon juice also works quite well when applied to the face using a cotton ball. All you have to do is leave it on for ten minutes and rinse it off.
One method we found ineffective was mixing a quarter cup each of comfrey infusion and witch hazel, and adding 10 drops of patchouli essential oil. It is then supposed to be stored in a clean bottle until used, and applied to affected areas with a cotton ball. Don’t expect much more than a wet face, though.
To recount the best remedies out of all categories I have included this section. The best of the commercial section were the Fake Bake Self-Tanning Lotion and the Julietas Anti-Aging Cream. The best of home remedies were:applying egg whites to the skin under your eyes, Odor-free castor oil can be applied to the skin under the eyes or on that of the throat and Empty the contents of 3 Vitamin E capsules into a small bowl. Add to this 2 tsps plain yogurt, 1/2 tsp honey and 1/2 tsp lemon juice. Apply this mixture on the face using a cotton ball. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse.
The worst of both categories were A mixture of 1/4 cup comfrey infusion, 1/4 cup witch hazel and 10 drops of patchouli essential oil is effective in treating wrinkles. This can be stored in a clean bottle and applied on affected areas with a cotton ball for the home remedies. For the commercial remedies the worst were:Fusion Beauty LiftFusion Eye Lift and Dermitage
This article has shown you the best anti aging and anti wrinkle creams out there and the worst so now you know what to buy and what not to. So when you go out to get something just remember the golden rule of consumer education: if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

January 28th, 2009 - Spellbinding Fine Jewels
I ask you to imagine me as a hypnotist. Now, imagine if you will, that I command the spotlight to shine on that piece of fine jewelry on your wrist (or ear, or wherever). Now, allow yourself to be receptive to my every command, to the sound of my voice. Now, let us pay a special kind of homage to the men and women who were responsible for producing that fine piece of jewelry. Once youve embarked on this reverie, you will find your thoughts drifting back, in time to the tapping of a jewelers hammer, to the misty past of ancient history. Despite the radical technology that makes modern jewelry possible, most aficionados would agree, there is something breathtaking about the fact your piece of jewelry has passed through the ages, from one set of hands (or ears) to the next.
To be sure, the craft of the jeweler has come a long way. Modern techniques utilize laser precision and binary algorithms, but it still requires a human hand to steady the chisel and hold the hammer. Jewelry itself seems to have a primeval hold upon us. It seems to represent or indeed, fill, a deep longing, a kind of permanence. As a species we seem to enjoy collecting ” from rocks to stamps ” we are wired into gathering and keeping. Somehow, it buttresses our faith and pushes back against the impermanence of life. A piece of fine jewelry grants us a moment of immortality, a reprieve from the inevitability of death.
We may catch ourselves chuckling at the behavior of our ancestors, or even more so-called primitive peoples, when they infuse their trinkets with anima. But, again, this seems to be an innate act, a deep-seated hunger to fill the world with entities that can boost our morale and protect us from harm. For example, coral was believed to easy the pains of childbirth. In China, jade is believed to ward off harm and is often fashioned into an array of jewelry for children. We have all infused fountains of luck and protection into our childhood rabbits feet, rings, and necklaces.
Aside from warding off evil and lengthening our lives, fine jewelry has been, and may always be, a form of portable wealth. It is not merely the stone or even the alloy used to make the piece, it is the labor poured into crafting the piece. They obviously, then, make for highly desirable gifts. Though, it should be said, the exchange of such a gift is usually reserved for inter-family or courting purposes. You wouldnt give someone you just met a diamond ring, but it is expected you would give your fianc one.
When I say the word “timeless” you will fall back through the misty ages, to this moment now. You will look at your fine jewelry and instantly think of the host of people involved in crafting it. You will appreciate who gave it to you that much more and you will think long and hard when you wish to let someone special know how much you care about them. You will appreciate the special coding involved in each piece, how each line and twist and shimmer was the result of a host of peoples time, energy and love. Ready?
