It's The Fucoidan In Limu Moui Juice That Is The Health Secret First, to be clear, I do not sell, own stock or have anything to do with the Original Limu Company. Like you, I've been seeing lately claims on the major tv news channels and reading studies from the scientific and medical community about a rare ingredient it contains called fucoidan. My friend Sheila Parrish is a Limu distributor. As a person who loves to research and (if adequate studies have been done), I enjoy trying "new medicines", which are hardly new, but medicinal properties found in p Only One Limu Moui Juice Contains Enough Fucoidan I am not one to try new health products unless they have been more than adequately researched. Limu Moui Juice made from brown seaweed from the ocean's bottom off the Tongan Islands is one of them. Fucoidan perked my interest after network news reports and medical studies. I am not a distributor or stockholder. Only an interested party. It's The Fucoidan In Limu Moui Juice That Is The Health Secret My friend Sheila Parrish is a Limu Moui distributor, an allegedly amazing health product according to Fox, NBC, ABC, and CBS news.

The Zen Of Niche I went back to college at age 47 as I was beginning to discover the world was leaving me behind. Not only was I a terrible student in my early 20's even if I had been a good one, nothing counted. Not much in the world of marketing and pr is very relavent. In fact, my recent college accepted not one credit of my 63 hours from a major state university. So be it. Is New Age Really So New Age At All Or A Big Moneymaker? I fell in love with a former girlfriend for a whole new reason, that is, a different reason than when I'd had the one before her. It had nothing to do with looks, money, social standing, or anything like it. She had gone through a similar struggle as me, actually one much larger in scope, and not only survived but prospered as a major Beverly Hills Attorney. I, struggled as a writer and cartoonist for several decades, not such a dramatic story as hers, and finally "made it".

Yes, Folks, Poodle History Lesson When I first started Londons Times Cartoons in 1997, I founded it with the idea of dogs in mind. Poodles were my favorite, though I'd never owned one. I just have an affection for poodles though I knew very little about their history. I decided after launching my cartoon gift store RickLondoncollection.com, I would add as many of my poodle cartoon products as the page would allow. And then I studied the history of the poodle and got some surprises. You might too. Dogue Stories: Origins of The Dog de Bordeux Like so many canine breeds, the Dogue de Bordeaux's is rather vague. There are numerous theories spouted by breeding experts. Most believe the Dogue's existence came years before the Bull mastiff and Bulldog.

Most websites will describe the clock and a museum may even have a detailed brochure.

One should just buy lottery tickets. Safe Online Shopping Is Like Safe Sex: Common Sense How many more articles are going to be written on "safe internet shopping"? Well, here's one more.

I liked my paycheck more than a bag of pot or the Beatles White Album. Raise Your Web Rankings Using No SEO Guru As a cartoonist, I don't get asked too many questions regarding the world of website SEO. As an Internet consultant who studied business at Western Governor's University, I get asked questions daily. And it really is not much of a surprise. A great many web owners do not know SEO. There are others who think they know SEO, and "learned from experts", only to find out within a few weeks or months that their site has been removed from Google for using backdoor or blackhat methods of marketing. Th I'm Happy, You're Happy....But What Is Happiness? I received an email from a woman I know last week. She considered me a happy person. It surprised me.

As years went by, and I was in my late teens and learning about sex, though I would notice strange looks from women, I continued to wear them. Forgive me. I grew up in rural Mississippi. Give an old guy a break. The Documented Birthplace Of Rock And Roll Would you believe Hattiesburg, Mississippi is where Rock And Roll got its start? It is well document. The heart of rock and roll may be in Cleveland, but its ovaries are in Hattiesburg.

It may be even further back than that, that is my first memory of "feeling different". I am now fifty three. Cow Soup For The Soul The dog has traditionally been "man's best friend" but one must admit, the cow is the most fun, not to mention the most edible.

Is There A Zen To Internet Commerce I remember in my youth when my mom would take me shopping. I had the most fun in the grocery store, for whatever reason, but, as I matured into my teens, fashion and grooming stores became more interesting. Like a lot of teenage boys, upon new information, girls were suddenly a lot more interesting. And to our (boys) surprise, we were becoming interesting to them as well, though, they were better at hiding it. A new thing was happening to us...relationships. They were so much fun back then.

The Internet was still Arapnet and only used by the government, blogs didn't exist, and social networking meant handing out business cards. I paid high rent in a mall across from the local university. The local townsfolk felt I might be possessed to believe that natural products might be better than what How To Make The Most Of Your Disability It seemed like only yesterday that I was living in Washington, D.C., working in corporate America, waking up at 6 am, rushing with my coffee while I brushed my teeth and put on my pinstripe suit and yellow power tie, and drove to work, arriving before rush hour.

I live down on squid roe. and been a shad bit egocentric, people have tried desperately to save my sole. Holy mackerel, if I could count the times. Those bassturds.

And You Thought Becoming Famous Was Hard? Think Again! When I got home last night I grabbed the remote and turned on a cable news program.

Becoming A Celebrity Is Easier Than You Think Last night I turned on a cable news program. I was busy in the kitchen and couldn't see the screen but I heard a voice that I remembered always sent chills down my spine.

Is It Too Late To Be Earth-Friendly After Fifty? A lot of my friends and relatives know I am trying to go green. This is really not my first stab at it.

There's a myriad of reasons why we laugh and use humor in our lives. Humor goes back to the prehistoric days, or so they say. Since that was a few years before my time (but unfortunately not too many years before my time), I will have to take archaeologists word for this phenomena. I remember loving to laugh as a child. My mom was the joke cracker of our family until I came along and tried in all earnestness to out-perform her. She was a natural and it was impossible. But and making her lau Trends Show Retailers Going Green Rising To The Top As I predicted in an article several years ago, retailers, including the big guys, have gone eco-friendly. I saw it coming. I wrote about it. And, of course, it is a welcome change. The Ralph's, Targets and Sams Clubs of the world, most likely, will never go fully earth-friendly, and merely offer sections in their stores rather than become another Trader Joe's but that's alright.
