The retail marketplace has registered a downturn in the last 9 months with the volume of sales going down month on month. The economic downturn is a direct relation of people losing their jobs and the television stations exploiting the situation. In the last twelve months there has been in excess of 12 major high street stores that have been forced out of business. Buy Computer Workstations online and save money. Change your life today with Life Coaching.

The internet has observed a different economic story. With staffing costs lower than its high street competitors, and with savings online has allowed for customers to purchase online and save themselves money at the same time. A stunning combination. One of the very best things about online shopping is the fact you can often compare a variety of different stores all within a couple of minutes. You can often work out whether or not the price you are paying is the very cheapest, and of course you additionally save on the travel costs.

Some of the biggest markets to see some growth online has been the computer furniture stores which sell monitor arms and computer chairs. Along side that has been personal development tapes, perhaps to help men and women stay positive in the economic depression. And of course, people have probably heard about the increase in sales of vibrators.

Mankind is advancing at an incredible rate and in doing so is able to modify organic life thru changes and manipulation of DNA, RNA, enzymes and proteins. Scientists and researchers have also come a long way in developing prosthesis devices for injured humans such as artificial legs, arms, etc. and some of these parts will become better, faster and stronger like the movie the Six Million Dollar Man.

It makes sense that we not limit these artificial parts to only humans for instance if your dog is run over, well then you need to find a way to give him a new leg and so we need to be developing these prosthesis devices to serve all the animal kingdom. What about the insect kingdom? We know that with miniaturization we are now building tiny flying devices about the size of a triple size dragonfly, which the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Community is calling MAV or Micro-Air Vehicles, which can fly totally autonomously.

These MAVs are all technology based with no organic parts. But as other researchers are putting human brain cells into mice, why not do a little organic Bio-Tech engineering and combine the two? A flying rat; well, not exactly, but how about a flying grass hopper, with spring loaded legs that when pushed would propel the creature five times the distance at a faster speed and allow it to land without damage to its organic frame? Sure this will soon be possible.

Now then if we take this one step further, we can enlarge this creature to the size of a small rodent and modify its DNA for a large stinger too, thus the new insect, half organic and half robotic could be used to guard military assets, nuclear power plants and secure our borders. It will be living off the land and trimming the grass; that is to say a completely self-sustained security system, which is happy as a lark fulfilling its genes while protecting us, with some robotic engineering to make it even better and report thru micro-electronic sensors to a central computer system.

Combining robotic and organic into a single unit makes sense and we ought to start with a species, which is already at the top of its food chain. One, which is better evolved for life on the surface of the planet than a soft shelled human. An insect based on a hard shell or semi hard shell system and slighting augmented thru both robotics and DNA manipulation adaptation for increased agility might just be the perfect system to protect us. Think on this.

Firstly, You couldn’t describe me as pleasantly satisfied being picky and remain an honest woman. But, I’m not uncomfortable with the reality of life, either. I just bring it up here as an ear-catching detail foreshadowing what I will shortly discuss honestly.

Last Monday I was talking to Stacey, thinking of joining Dallas Personals site. You prolly couldn’t guess that, I write to my readers as a surprisingly pleased member of the matchmaking service. No kidding, it’s true. I like it! If you know me at all, you may be wondering, “You got some ’splainin to do, Lucy!”

Well, I saw this Great Expectations Dating site and felt encouraged. They’re for the honest singles who think dating should mean something.

Because I’d never been a fan of whatever it is that a lot of singles so aptly entitled “The Dating Experience.” I faced it all the time. Day and night people pester, “Are you seeing somebody?” and “Oh I know just the guy for you!”

“That’s rubbish,” I say to them, and playfully so. “Have you seen what’s out there?”

“You’re as ridiculous as you are hilarious,” they level with me. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”

Thankfully, that’s my sister (she’s the best) Sandy Feldman. She offers the best ideas directly to my core to put me back on course. Friends are always there for fresh advice. No countering that, so I signed up.

Back to the message of this essay. As I picked from hundreds of quality singles for my first Great Expectations date, a revelation hit me true. For years, I hadn’t allowed myself too many literal great expectations for dating in the serendipitous winding course of being alive. Being single isn’t so bad, only if you take the opportunity to meet new people. Having great expectations makes a difference on a cynics social life.

I read all the travel books, watched all the travel videos and visited all the websites. I was still blown away by the BVI. Words and even pictures are simply incapable of communicating the simple, laid back grandeur of the islands.

The British Virgin Islands are a truly remarkable place. The islands are very diverse in terrain and foliage. The snorkeling around the islands is equally amazing and diverse, and of course the sailing is remarkable. There always seems to be at least a gentle breeze, and the seas are seldom very rough. The islands make visible, line of site, destinations that even the most novice navigator could find.

This was my first bareboat experience, and I have very little sailing experience prior to my trip. One of the most remarkable discoveries to me was that bareboat chartering is within the grasp of average middle class people. The cost is comparable to a lot of cruise packages and there is no reason the average Joe or Jane cannot go sailing on a beautiful catamaran in the BVI. It’s an incredible experience that anyone with even a little sense of wonder and adventure will love.

As I mentioned earlier you don’t have to be a seasoned sailor to bareboat charter. Skippers are available, but keep in mind that it’s very hard for one person to sail a boat of the size available, so be prepared to lend a hand. Far from a burden, learning more about sailing was one of the greatest experiences of the trip for me, and I am proud of the skills I developed. The bottom line is that if you are remotely physically capable and can put off redecorating the bathroom a little longer there is no reason you cannot be on a catamaran sailing in the BVI.

In addition to skippers, sailing instruction and onboard cooks are available. Bareboat chartering provides you with a clean slate on which to build your vacation. From barebones essentials to luxury comparable to that found on crewed charters is available to you to arrange as you wish.

Provisioning proved to be the biggest pre-charter challenge to me. Fortunately one of my guests generously offered to cook and supplied me with a menu complete with required ingredients. Armed with that information I opted to use the shopping list method of provisioning, which is pretty much just filling out a list of what you want and submitting it ahead of your arrival. The prices came out to only be a little more than I’m used to paying at home, and the groceries were promptly delivered on the morning and at the time that I requested. I also penciled in some items that weren’t on the standard list and all of those items were available; even in the brands I wanted.
We found that cooking on the boat was best done on the grill. It was fun and not as hot as cooking in the galley. I also suggest self-lighting charcoal. I hadn’t thought about it until I was there, but too much charcoal lighter fluid on the grill can be terrifying on a boat. Fortunately I only witnessed this on other people’s boats, but I feared that some would burn to the waterline as I observed what appeared to be volcanic eruptions spew from the transoms of various and assorted yachts where someone got carried away with lighter fluid.

Fresh water is something else you should be conscious of. Fresh water on a boat isn’t like at home, there is a finite supply and you should use it conservatively. Showers should consist of dousing, soaping and rinsing. Some find bathing off of the transom and using the fresh water hose easier.

Packing is another obvious part of any trip and it’s always a chore to decide what to take.
You’ll need a bathing suit, some T-shirts, a couple of pairs of shorts and a good hat to fend off the sun. You’ll also need some sunscreen of the highest SPF rating you can get and some canvas deck shoes or sneakers. Of course you’ll want your toothbrush, some shampoo etc. The Catamaran Company provides snorkel gear of high quality, so there’s no need to worry about that. Anything beyond these essentials is up to you, but don’t over pack if you can help it. Be sure to use duffle bags since there is little storage space for suitcases on a boat.

I had the misconception that I might don scuba gear and drop off the transom from time to time for a short dive. In fact the places we went to, which are mostly the popular charter destinations, were much better suited to snorkeling since the reefs were shallow. There are options, of course. What is termed as “Rendezvous Diving” is to have a dive boat come and meet your charter boat and pick you up to take you to a dive site. Most of the books and websites will tell you that this requires two weeks notice, but I found shops willing to do it on much shorter notice, and small capacity boats are available if you don’t want to be in a large group. The other option, of course, is to plan your charter around diving. This will work fine provided everyone on board is enthusiastic about diving. If they aren’t it could get pretty boring for them.

The yacht we chartered was a 46 foot Fountaine Pajot with broad hulls that provide space for four large cabins, each with it’s own head. Despite the girth of the hulls she is a fast boat and we had a lot of fun sailing her. The coach in the salon is so soft that my daughter napped there several times. The Catamaran Company has many yachts to choose from, and you should select the boat that best suits your needs.

Allow me to describe my trip:

Arrival day:

Upon arrival at the airport we were greeted by a young lady who directed us to the cab driver The Catamaran Company had arranged to meet us.
The ride from the airport on Beef Island to Nanny Cay on Tortola was scenic and pleasant. Upon arrival at Nanny Cay we were greeted by Dana Candel who immediately set to work trying to mellow me down to island time. She answered all of our questions and put us at ease.

There are no briefings available after 3:00PM and you are not allowed to leave the marina unless you can reach your anchorage or mooring by dark, so you have the option of sleeping aboard the boat or getting a hotel room. Although the Nanny Cay Hotel, which is right off of the docks, seems great, we opted for sleeping aboard.

The marina is quite secure and crime seemed like the first evil I had left behind. Public restrooms complete with showers are available, which is good since using boat heads at the marina docks is prohibited. There is also a public pool and a small beach. Within walking distance are Peg Legs Restaurant and bar, Genaker Cafe, a Rite Way grocery store, Bluewater Divers dive shop and a few other businesses.
We had dinner and our first “Pain Killers”, the BVI’s drink specialty, at Peg Legs. We settled into the boat, unpacked and unwound.

Day 1:

We had requested our provisioning arrive at 8:30am and even though it was Carnival time and I’m sure they hadn’t had much sleep, they were prompt and courteous. A note should be made here that you pay for your provisioning when it arrives and if you plan to use a credit card you should contact your credit card company ahead of time or they may block transactions made in the BVI.
We had feared that we may be sleeping on canned food for days, but our catamaran proved to have ample storage for our gluttonous quantity of groceries. After stowing everything away it was 9:30 and our skipper arrived. We were all pleased to find that he was easy going and comfortable with the boat.
We set out for Norman Island. We unfurled the jib, but never raised the mainsail. It was a good introduction to sailing without too much stress, and I got my first chance to man the helm.

Norman Island is said to be the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island”. And appropriately enough we moored in Privateer’s Bay. It’s a beautiful little bay with a small beach and some sheer rock cliffs nearby. We snorkeled, swam, kayaked and generally had a great time. Water visibility was around 40 feet and the proliferation of tropical fish and coral was astounding. We moored to a mooring ball, which became a good habit. For $20 to$25 a night we could sleep easy knowing our anchor hadn’t dragged and set us out to sea and that we hadn’t damaged this unique ecological environment by dropping a big piece of steel on it. Norman Island is uninhabited unless you count goats as population, but it does have two restaurants. I never saw either of them and it was fine by me. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the Caribbean in the cockpit over a couple of cold beers and had our first meal aboard the boat. There were two other yachts moored nearby, but everyone was quiet and respectful. It was a great evening.

Day 2:

We sailed to Cooper Island under full sail. The trip required several tacks and we found we swiftly improving at our sailing tasks.
We moored at Manchioneel Bay on Cooper Island, and it is ripped right out of picture post card with beautiful palms and a small beach. There’s even a small bungalow on the beach that finishes off the image completely. The best snorkeling is near some jagged rocks that were a little far from our mooring, so the skipper gave us a ride in the runabout. The snorkeling was spectacular. Large coral formations and colorful fish abound. Visibility was around 50 feet.

There is a small open air bar and restaurant right off the beach, which we visited for more Pain Killers. There are also a boutique and dive shop as well as some cottages for rent. Cooper Island has about six full time residents, but no roads, cars, etc.
There were about twenty other boats moored nearby, but once again they were very quiet and we had a peaceful evening. The breeze was pleasant and we all slept well.

Day 3:

We left Cooper Island early and after a brief diversion to Trellis Bay on Beef Island where we dropped off some garbage and picked up some ice and water, we set out for the famous Baths on Virgin Gorda. It was a little crowded and the skipper had to call in a favor to get us a mooring ball, which was normally private. Despite The Baths being the most crowded place we went they were magnificent and a “must see”. I had seen all of the magnificent photos of the amazing rock formations and clear pools, but what I didn’t expect was that snorkeling right off of the rocks would be equally amazing. Visibility was good at over 50 feet and the coral and sea life were incredible. The whole place really escapes description. At this point we were all thinking, “How does it just keep getting better every day”.

After thoroughly exploring The Baths we sailed on to Saba Rock on the east end of Virgin Gorda. Saba Rock is a tiny little island just off of Virgin Gorda. You can walk around the circumference of the island in easily less than five minutes. Despite it’s size it sports a nice restaurant and bar and a gift shop as well as a small resort. There is a small but impressive outdoor aquarium next to the bar. We cooked steaks that night and after dinner my father-in-law broke out his guitar and the skipper sang. After a while we all joined in. We didn’t sound too bad, but we had drunk a few Pain Killers. Everyone else moored that night was quiet and considerate, and we all had great night.

Day 4:

The skipper had made the mistake the day before of promising me he would take me out on the runabout to photograph the sun rising over the boat, so at around 5:00am I knocked on his cabin door and although a little bleary eyed he got up and assisted me without complaint. The photos came out nice, but the memory of watching that sunrise is priceless.

The $25 mooring fee at Saba Rock includes a fill of your boats fresh water tank and two bags of ice. We took on the water and ice before setting out that day.
We sailed to Great Dog, which is one of five uninhabited islands called The Dogs. Once again it was the best snorkeling yet. Visibility here was around 60 feet. This was also the first time we used the anchor.

We had been keeping a close eye on a tropical storm called Bonnie and upon getting out of the water the skipper informed us that to err on the side of safety we would seek safe harbor for the night at Marina Cay. We were all on pens and needles waiting for the impending storm, which turned out to be a brief shower, but the skipper made the right decision non-the-less.
Marina Cay turned out to be an interesting little island. At eight acres it isn’t big on space, but it has small gift store and a restaurant and bar. There is also a small beach. The only permanent residents are the Island Manager and two cats. I had the honor of meeting one of the cats. Marina Cay is also noteworthy as the setting of Robb White’s “Our Virgin Island” which later became a film starring Sidney Poitier called “Two On The Isle”. We went ashore and had a look around and had a drink, but spent most of the afternoon and evening doing very little, and it turned out to be a nice break, even in the BVI.

Day 5:

The skipper and I took some of the less seasoned snorkelers aboard to the small beach on Marina Cay where there is a shallow reef. They had a great time and the skipper and I enjoyed coffee from the bar.

We set out for Jost Van Dyke later that morning, but somehow the wind and sea were so nice that we found ourselves just sailing around, sometimes in the opposite direction of Jost Van Dyke. Since conditions were good the conversation inevitably turned to just how fast the Bahia 46 was. We began sailing a broad reach and eventually attained 10.7 knots, which the skipper assured us was a respectable speed.

Having had our fun sailing we moved on to Jost Van Dyke. Jost, as the locals call it is about four miles long and has just fewer than two hundred permanent residents. It is also the home to many famous hot spots like Foxy’s. We opted to skip all of the usual tourist stuff and go to a little place our skipper knew about in Little Harbor called “Sidney’s Peace and Love”. It was rustic and run by locals. It had a great atmosphere, and the folks that run the place couldn’t be friendlier. Thousands of donated T-shirts line the ceiling, and of course I left one as well, so look for it when you visit. On some evenings Sidney fires up the grill and makes bar b q. We were fortunate enough to be there on one of those evenings and the food was great. Sidney’s also features an honor bar, where you make your own drinks and mark down a record for the bill. There was also a small gift shop at the same place, and another restaurant called Harris’s Place. It was another great day in the BVI.

Day 6:

The previous day I had thought that Little Harbor wasn’t that scenic with little vegetation and no spectacular rock outcrops, but I took it all back when I watched the sunrise. The colors playing across the water and the Caribbean style buildings on the shore made quite a picture.

We motored to Sandy Cay early in the morning. Sandy Cay is like something out of a post card, with picture perfect palm trees and a beautiful sandy beach. Some of us set out snorkeling while others went to the beach. One of my friends found a trail and we followed it together. Although it wasn’t a long and grueling hike we still found ourselves high above the yachts below with a stunning panoramic view. We found that Sandy Cay was far more complex than it appears upon first examination. The far end of the island sports large, craggy, black rock cliffs that plunge into crashing waves. It was a stark contrast to the tranquil looking beach area, and very beautiful in it’s own right.
After having our fill of this tiny paradise we sailed on to Cane Garden Bay. Once again we took an unnecessarily circuitous route so we could have some fun sailing. My wife took the helm for the first time and had a blast.

Cane Garden Bay is certainly populated with many restaurants, bars, hotels etc., but it isn’t commercialized in the way that someone from Florida is used to at least. It isn’t overbuilt, and there are no tall ”’, and no franchise stores. It has a quaint feel, and it’s beautiful. Pink and powder blue clapboard houses cling to lush hill’s sides overlooking a beautiful harbor.

We went ashore and took advantage of the opportunity to take showers with the profuse amounts of fresh water we are generally accustomed to. Some of our group took a cab tour of the area, which they described as spectacular, while others of us visited a local dive shop and checked out the bars.

Cane Garden Bay was a great experience and going to sleep with the sounds of bands playing and people partying seemed otherworldly after having visited so many secluded places.

Day 7:

On our seventh day we sailed to Great Tobago. Great Tobago has no mooring balls and we had to be very careful anchoring to avoid damaging the fragile ecosystem. We snorkeled and were very impressed with the marine life. Great Tobago was likely the most different of all the islands we visited. It has a dark and forbidding quality to it with dark cliffs plunging into the sea at skewed angles. There appear to be faces in the rock formations gazing down upon you. The uninhabited island is hilly but covered only by grass and a few spars and twisted shrubs. If there are the ghosts of pirates in the BVI then surely the real nasty ones stay on Great Tobago.
All of this having been said, who can escape the appeal of an evil, haunted pirate island. Frankly I thought it was cool.

For the evening we put into Sopper’s Hole. We elected to visit Sopper’s Hole because there is a ferry dock there and two of our group had to catch a ferry back to the US Virgin Islands in the morning. Sopper’s Hole is a little commercialized for my tastes, but it certainly does have many conveniences, with many stores, a restaurant and bar, and showers available. My wife did most of her gift shopping here in one central spot with lots of selection ready at hand. We had dinner at Pusser’s which was great and turned in for the night.

Day 8:

We got up early and slowly began to pack and reluctantly return home. There were many hard goodbyes that day Starting with my friends Ben and Shari whom we dropped off at the ferry dock at around 9:00am. We got to wave goodbye to them on the ferry from the deck of our catamaran as we released our mooring. After motoring back to Nanny Cay we had to rush my mother and father-in-law to a cab. The skipper had just secured the boat when I returned. We were fortunate to have enough time to have one last coffee with the skipper at the Genaker Cafe. After the skipper left we went to the office of The Catamaran Company and chatted with Dana until the time for our departure by cab.

It was truly the vacation of a lifetime and we would like to thank everyone at The Catamaran Company for making our trip so wonderful and being so kind and considerate. The boat they chartered us was magnificent, their staff attentive, and their facilities superb.

This is a vacation, a voyage and an adventure that is within your grasp. Contact The Catamaran Company (www.catamarans.com) and let them help you set up your dream vacation in the BVI.

How would you like to tone your thighs and buttocks just by walking round in a pair of flip flops? I would like to introduce you to Fit Flops. They are the answer to the prayers of many.

The Fit Flop has been dubbed ‘the flip flop with a built-in gym’. They have been designed in such a way that allows the wearer to maximise the muscle building benefits of walking. They have also been proven to reduce lower back pain. The designers have focussed on three key areas of the shoe; the toe, the mid footbed, and the heel. The toe has a stiff design to allow you to spring off your toes for a faster step speed. The mid-footbed is slightly softer, and is intentionally designed to send your foot off-balance. This way, the muscles in the legs are stimulated to retain balance. The heel is made of a high-density material that absorbs any un-due shock when excersising. This helps with stability of the mid-foot.

The benefits of fit flops include improved posutre by re-calibrating your balance; reduced shock in the middle of the back due to the shock absorbing heels; firmed and toned buttocks by activating the gluteal muscle; easier retention of muscle definition in thighs through making the muscles work for the maximum time for each step taken; and reduced foot pain due to the intelligent design of the garment. Research carried out by the University of Salford, in Greater Manchester showed that exercising in Fit Flops was better than exercising bare-foot, which was previously considered to be the best conditions for the foot during a workout.

Fit Flops are available in a range of designs, and are a must-have for many people this summer. There are a range of colours, meaning the perfect pair can be found for any man or woman. Of the nine different products available, the Oasis has proved to be particularly successful, with it’s refreshing look and cool colours.

Every year, joint replacements are given to many Americans. It’s a method of older people who have outused their joints to enjoy more activity in their lives. Patients trust that a procedure such as this is so common and routine, they don’t question their doctors opinions nor do they question the manufacturers of their joint replacements about the quality of the product being implanted into them. This has led to practices that can actually cause injury to you or your loved ones. If you are acquainted with anyone who has gotten a hip replaced, continue reading this crucial information on the maker, zimmer durom hip replacement.

The modern hip replacement operation has been taking place since the 1970’s, which is why the idea may seem so commonplace to you. A hip replacement, like those made by Durom, typically involve three individual pieces designed to mock how an organic knee joint would. Included is a metal replacement of the femur. The device is held in place with screws and mimics the natual joint movement for the most part.

Hip replacements commonly are in need for revision or further surgerys to correct issues. Regrettably, this is an issue that a lot of older people and actually healthy younger patients can’t handle. This is the special target of the zimmer hip lawsuit. The Durom implant was supposed to be durable and was understandably, advocated for younger recipients, whose conditions warranted such surgeries. However, almost 12 percent of these patients needed surgery again within two years, prompting an outcry.

In the last several years you or someone you know had a hip replacement, ask your doctor if it was done by Durom. In the event that it was, whether your hip replacement has failed or not at this point, you can participate in a legal class action. If you are contacted by Zimmer Durom, do not sign their legal release, or you may lose this right.

Here is some info dealing with some of the common eye troubles that may cause you to need prescription spectacles

Myopia - Also known as short sightedness, near sightedness

Nearsighted people can focus fine up close, but not at a distance. Distant objects seem blurred, whilst near objects are in focus.

DESCRIPTION

The eyeball is longer than usual, making the eye "too powerful." The image is focused at a point in front of the retina. The greater the degree of myopia, the shorter the point at which the Myopic can view clearly.

SOLUTION

Myopia can be corrected with the use of a concave lens system that is thinner in the center and thicker at the periphery. This type of lens system pushes the focus back onto the retina and restores good vision at any distance.

HYPEROPIA - Also known as long sightedness, far sightedness

Farsighted people see far better at a distance than close up. Even though distant objects seem properly focused, the accommodation required to focus on nearby objects causes eyestrain.

DESCRIPTION

The eye ball is shorter than normal which means the eye is not powerful enough. The eye is said to be "too short" and the image is focused behind the retina.

SOLUTION

Hyperopia is corrected with a convex lens which is thinner at the periphery and thick in the centre. This type of lens system brings the focus forward to the retina.

ASTIGMATISM

People with astigmatism have poor close and distant vision. They do not comprehend the contrasts between horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines in the same fashion as the rest of us.

Astigmatism is always accompanied by other visual impairment, such as Myopia, hyperopia and Presbyopia.

DESCRIPTION

Astigmatism is usually a result of an irregularly-shaped cornea that is slightly oval, instead of round, and oblong instead of spherical.

SOLUTION

Astigmatism can usually be corrected using a cylindrical lens whose curvature offsets the corneal irregularity.
