		<description><![CDATA[Mildred,
Oh my God! I can&#039;t believe you said that. Sara Palin rules!!!!! Thanks for tell it like it is. My cousin married a kite and everybody is upset. The bastard changed the spelling of his name so we were not aware that he was a fucking jew. 

I understand why the Europeans put them into ovens. The bastards want so bad to be white. They move into our neighborhoods and at like they are white. News Flash you are semites. Fucking camel niggers with a circumcision.  It does not matter if you try to marry into the white race until you lose all trace of that kinky hair. We will root you out. 

It does not matter if you pretend to hate niggers and wet backs as much as whites do. It does not matter how many people you tell that you are white. You monkeys are not white. You are fucking jews. 

You tell them Mildred. Why are you seeking advice from that Zen fool? It is godless people like her who have led your daughter into abandoning her country. I monitor sites like this for my country too. We patriotic whites need to be vigilant. 

How I hate to see these mud people mingling with our race at the poles. I sorely wish for the good ole days when they knew their place.

I am a true American. It is my duty to keep America safe for God fearing Americans. My husband served in Vietnam honorably. My daughter used to love her country as much as we do. We used to be so close. It was she that convinced me to give this blog a try about a year ago. I have put up with all the commies who write in against our great country and shut up while they spewed their vile attacks against our President. 

I have sent copies to the fBI and the Office of Homeland Security with my complaint that this blog encourages terrorists to spew their hatred of America. I told my daughter that I was going to do it. She laughed and said that Michelle is protected by aliens. Can you believe a girl with a MBA from LSU is such a loon? 

I do not feel that I compromised myself. I am doing what I can to help keep America safe for the white people who founded this great country. We build God&#039;s country with our blood and tears. These monkeys have gotten to the place where they think they can occupy the White House. I remind my daughter that it isn&#039;t called the White House for no reason. These people know that they can live in America without trying to overstep themselves. 

If I have to choose between my daughter or my God, I choose my God. Jesus is Lord! As long as I breathe niggers, slopes, jews, and non christians will never get by me in the poles. I will do my part to keep America pure.

		<description><![CDATA[Sweet pea, thanks for the quick info, I will post it on my blog asap, thanks in advance for giving me a short writing day in Blogsville also, could use the extra time for good purpose. 
- Sweetness

Mischa, I am quite fortunate in this way, I was once a sales person who was driven by cash, cars and trips - bonuses - yipee! Now, I am pleased to be who I am and that is someone who gets regular life strokes in ways I can&#039;t even get into here, money is always nice to have but my life works - and I&#039;m generally happy w/very lightly scattered t-storms hee hee - period.

Mildred, as a mother I feel for you, it would hurt me to lose my daughter&#039;s respect, however, may I pose a Zen Lill q? Try this on: what would happen if you dropped the need to be a good mother? Think on that for a few days. It&#039;s a good exercise for accepting what is (we&#039;re not perfect, we just have offspring).

I would also like to say this, why DID you compromise yourself by doing what you do for so many years? A paycheck? &amp; were you not prepared for your daughter to reject what you so easily embraced (knowing full well it&#039;s a wrong thing to do)? 

Sigh, as a daughter, I have little respect for my own mother, she didn&#039;t do the right thing by me when it was important, it is my only source of jealousy in life and I&#039;m almost past that...when another woman says so easily, &#039;I want to ask my mom&#039;s opinion&#039; or &#039;my mom and I went out together...&#039; etc...mine is my mother and I love her for giving me life. I maintain a cordial relationship with her for my daughter&#039;s sake. Maybe you can do some serious repair work by being honest/remorseful with your girl now, it&#039;s worth the try. Don&#039;t wait too long though...these things tend to fester and grow more bad feelings. I wish you the best on this one, I&#039;m sure it feels pretty bad. 

Luv, Zen Lill]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[STEP 1: DIET AND SUPPLEMENTS
No surprise that diet is one of the founding principles of Perricone&#039;s latest plan.
&#039;Good underlying bone structure and muscle mass are the foundations of a youthful face,&#039; says Perricone.
&#039;Loss of muscle mass is the result of inflammation, so an anti-inflammatory diet that helps maintain muscle mass and prevent osteopenia (a weakening of the bones) is essential.&#039;
However, one of the other issues with age is that the subcutaneous fat that plumps out the skin is lost, so the diet also has to include nutrients that will help maintain, and promote, these fat levels.

Based on the Perricone Prescription, this means lots of high quality protein, (wild Alaskan salmon, free-range chicken, shellfish and tofu) essential for cellular repair and the building blocks of muscle tissue

Low glycemic index fruit and veg ( blueberries, broccoli, spinach) keep blood sugar levels stable and supply the antioxidants that neutralise the free radicals that cause cellular damage, and essential fatty acids (found in fish, nuts and seeds) provide fuel for cellular energy.
In addition, Perricone suggests antioxidant supplements, such as alpha lipoic acid, resveratrol, pycnogenol, co-enzyme Q10 and astraxanthin, as well as nutrients that help redensify bones, such as calcium, magnesium, boron, silica and vitamin K2.
STEP 2: MUSCLE STIMULATION
Perricone is convinced that the key to youth and beauty lies in muscle mass - while the rest of the world is intent on paralysing facial muscles, he wants to build them up.
&#039;When I started to work with a lot of celebrities, I was fascinated by what made them look so glamorous. Were they just genetically different to the rest of us?
&#039;I realised that what made the difference was the muscle mass in their faces, the soft tissue on their cheeks and chin.
&#039;If you look at someone like Angelina Jolie, she has these beautiful apples in her cheeks - they&#039;re the result of the muscles in the face.&#039;
And, according to Perricone, you, too, could look like her. In the same way that you can make sagging, flat pectorals look pert, firm and curved by doing lots of bench presses, you can exercise the muscles of the face to create Angelina-style cheeks.
However, exercising your face muscles effectively requires electro-stimulation - essentially running a micro-current to the facial muscles which causes them to contract, firming the muscles and consequently making them bigger.
&#039;Using electro-stimulation, I can give anyone this sort of a look,&#039; says Perricone.
&#039;And, if someone is slightly lopsided, as many people are, I can balance them out by building up one side of their face more than the other.&#039;
If you can&#039;t wait for a treatment from the man himself (and you&#039;re about as likely to be able to get a highly sought-after appointment with him as you are to find him eating a McDonald&#039;s Happy Meal), he believes that a CACI Ultra (from £75 for 75 minutes, www.caci-international.co.uk, 020 8731 5676) salon treatment once a month is a step in the right direction.??If you&#039;re more of a DIY type, you might want to have a look at the Tua Viso (RRP £199, 0845 434 7990), a handheld gadget developed in Italy. It&#039;s not endorsed by Perricone, but it works in a similar way to CACI and has had positive reviews.
STEP 3: LIGHT THERAPY
The third weapon in Dr Perricone&#039;s antiageing arsenal is light. He&#039;s been waxing lyrical about the benefits of light therapy and its ability to reverse the signs of ageing for years, but his latest trick is to develop a unit for home use.
Light Renewal, a handheld device, has just gone on sale in the U.S. (retailing at around £180), and there are plans to bring it to Britain before the end of the year.??&#039;This light isn&#039;t laser light, it&#039;s red light [much less intense than a laser], at various frequencies, which has been shown to help rejuvenate the structures of the skin,&#039; he says.
Light therapy: Pure beams of cold light and colours may help regenerate the skins cells
&#039;Free radicals and inflammation damage the collagen and elastin in the skin, causing it to look saggy and uneven, but the light we use stimulates the fibroblasts to produce more elastin and collagen.
&#039;This works to thicken the skin and as a result you get rid of fine lines, begin plumping up the skin and see knock-on effects, such as eyelids being lifted and skin losing that crepey look.&#039;
He recommends using the Light Renewal device for 20 minutes a day for four days a week and claims that patients will start to see a visible difference within three to seven weeks.
STEP 4: TOPICAL PRODUCTS
Lastly, and perhaps most excitingly, Perricone is in the process of bringing a number of creams to the market that he claims will help tone muscles and build subcutaneous fat.
His line already includes products that contain DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol), a naturally occurring substance that is found in human nerve tissue and in certain types of seafood.
When applied topically, it is said to improve muscle tone and diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Set to hit the market next year are new products which Perricone claims will be able to increase the levels of subcutaneous fat in the skin by transporting the necessary nutrients directly to the fat cells, encouraging renewal and growth.
&#039;We&#039;re waiting to get clearance from the FDA (the U.S. body that regulates the cosmetics industry) to use the active ingredients we want to use, as they have not been used in cosmetics before,&#039; he says.
&#039;We&#039;ve done some initial tests on the products and, using ultrasound to measure the levels of subcutaneous fat before and after, we&#039;ve been able to see that it does work in the way that we hoped it would.&#039;]]></description>
