Snow Day: Barnes and Noble bankrupt afterwards 3 inches of Snow????

Today we got about 3 inches of snow. I stayed in all day to make sure the roads were safe to navigate. So after spending the day inside I thought what should I do tonight. I said to myself, "Oh, I know, why not go to the bookstore and read tabloids." So that's what I did I got my driver to drive me to the local Barnes & Noble store. When we pulled into the parking lot, I was shocked and appalled by what I saw. Barnes & Noble was freakin closed due to 3 inches of snow!!!!! Who closes on a Friday night due to that little amount of snow!!! So you know what I did. I stormed off disappointed and got in the car and had my driver take me to Borders instead. That was open, and jam packed. They stole all the customers tonight. I got to read everything I wanted to in the tabloids about Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, Ellen Page, Hilary Duff, and of course Miley Cyrus. She's still slutty. She better not go to the Academy Awards this weekend. Oh and Ellen Page better not win the Best Actress Oscar. She is a terrible actress.

The Nook and College Bookstores by Barnes and Noble

The Nook has been implemented under the auspices of Barnes and Noble. Simply put, it is a book reader in the electronic form that is based on the more prominent Android platform. The Nook device came into the American market in October of 2009 but was released for sale at $259 US dollars. However, in early 2010, the price for the Nook was reduced drastically to $199 US dollars. This happened during the announcement of the launch of a model that could only operate with Wi- Fi. This model currently goes for some $149 US dollars.;

To note is that the Nook by this company has really competed against similar products in the market and has proved to be more dependable and reliable. This could be said to be a result of the fact that it also includes Wi- Fi. By buying this newer model, not only are you paying less for the Nook, but also getting a better system. Additionally, the 3G connectivity in the Nook in collaboration with AT&T and has given it an upper edge over competing products.

This company has a bookseller for colleges that has its headquarters in New Jersey. This is because the bookselling company under review operates bookstores that service an upward of some 600 institutions especially in the Higher Education category. This allows students with certain disabilities to get a college education. To note, however, is that these college book stores were mainly owned by the current chairman of Barnes and Noble, Mr. Leonard Riggio.

To come to a suitable conclusion, the college bookstores operated under the auspices of this company have numerous operations. For instance, they operate what is now regarded as the largest bookstore in the world. This bookstore is located right on New York's 5th Avenue. Indeed, it would not be altogether incorrect to state that this particular flagship carries the largest variety of medical books, medical supplies and text books. Other trade titles are also carried under the wing of the main company stores. These books are great for nursing students and medical students alike. With the wide variety of supplies provided these students now have no reason to shop elsewhere. Let Barnes and Noble be your one stop shop for all of your colleges needs, rather it be books, badges or anything else you may need.

How to Get Lighter Skin - Naturally!

Many of us don't just want tans in summer - we want to lighten our skin but we also want to do so naturally. This is something that you can handle two ways - either going to the dermatologist and/or skin specialist (safe, but expensive) or doing something entirely naturally (safe, but inexpensive).

Also, many who suffer from acne and other skin issues seek to lighten and replenish their skin's natural oils and quality, something that can be vastly reduced by the use of makeup, moisturizers and other products that simply don't help your skin tone or your skin generally - in the long term at least.

So what can you do to lighten your skin in a natural way?

One of the favorite ways to lighten skin tones is to use lemon juice, which is focued upon its central 'active agent', vitamin C. If you apply lemon juice to the skin you can not only help clear skin conditions like acne, but also remove impurities and lighten up the skin itself. You can remove the dark spots and get very fast results safely, which should be your priority.

The other constituent part of lemon juice that will lighten the skin is citric acid as well as antioxidants. However the application of lemon juice is something that needs to be handled carefully.

The juice should be squeezed into a small bowl and applied evenly and carefully, using cotton or a natural, soft rubbing lotion with your clean fingers. You may mix the juice with a little warm water. You need to apply gently, the same as you would any lotion in reducing any rosacea or acne infection using natural means.

Leave the juice on your face until it dries. If there is any stinging or any other sensation that continues then you should dab your face gently with a cotton towel to remove the juice.

Skin types vary greatly, just like skin coloring differs, and you should therefore try and ensure there is careful application and, once applied, that you do not expose your skin to harsh sunlight. Keep out of the sun to avoid damage to the skin itself.

There are other natural ingredients like papaya that you can use to lighten skin, with which you can create a skin mask applying to your face. This should be left for a period before being rinsed off and your skin gently cleaned with warm water.

You can lighten your skin easily and naturally. Take care and take advice.

Women, Menopause, and Alcohol Abuse

Over the past decade research has found that for many women the onset of alcohol abuse coincides with changes in hormone levels - changes that many women are unaware of in the early stages. When this is combined with other stresses in their lives - job changes, health concerns, children leaving home - women can find themselves abusing alcohol for the first time in their lives.

In our teens, 20s and 30s, our ovaries and adrenal glands produce a form of estrogen called estrodiol. Later, during our mid to late 40s and early 50s, our ovaries begin producing less estrogen, leaving more of the work to our adrenal glands. As the adrenal glands take over the job, estrogen drops, spikes and drops again-rather erratically. At this point, many women report that they start to get forgetful and experience "foggy thinking" and moodiness. That's because our brains work better when estrogen levels are steady. These are the first signs of menopause and, sometimes, the beginning of escalating alcohol consumption as a means of easing various unfamiliar discomforts.

While normal menopause is a gradual process that starts between the ages of 45 and 55, there are a number of things that can lead to this whole process starting earlier than normal, in other words - premature menopause. Sometimes these are a result of lifestyle choices that include the following:

1. heavy drinking (defined as more than 1 glass of wine, 12 ozs. of beer, or 1.5 oz. of liquor daily);

2. heavy smoking;

3. poor nutrition;

4. chronic stress to the body - including excessive athletic training.

Indeed, heavy alcohol consumption alone may hasten the onset of menopause by as much as five years.

As we reach full menopause, our estrogen production will have dropped by 75%-90% and we normally start experiencing other menopausal symptoms - hot flashes, tiredness, and difficulty sleeping. Many of us also experience a drop in libido (sexual desire) which can continue well beyond menopause.

Unfortunately drinking alcohol at this stage of life causes more problems than it solves. For example, alcohol itself can trigger hot flashes and increase sleep disruptions. For those of us in midlife who are already experiencing hot flashes and sleep problems (because of the night sweats that accompany hot flashes), alcohol only compounds the problem.

Additionally, Jasmine Lew, a researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, has found links between the amount of alcohol women consumed and a higher risk of cancer. In particular, Lew and her colleagues found that alcohol increased the risk for the most common types of postmenopausal breast cancer. And the more we drank, the higher the risk, so, while drinking one serving of alcohol resulted in only a 7% increase of risk, drinking three servings of alcohol per day resulted in as high as 51% increase in risk.

Further problems occur in the area of bone density because alcohol increases the amount of calcium excreted in the urine, causing a calcium deficiency and eventually osteoporosis. And of course heavy drinking increases our risk of liver disease, falls, DUIs, and motor vehicle accidents.

So what are we to do? Peri-menopause, menopause, and post menopause are clearly times of risk for those of us who find we are drinking too much. With that in mind, if you are over 40 you should consider hormonal shifts as a contributing factor in any change in your alcohol use. It should also be a consideration if you become concerned about alcohol abuse and seek help. Look for a program that will address all of the possible contributory factors, not one that consigns you to a "disease" model as well an unnecessary and inappropriate "lifelong recovery."

Contracts and Offers

For contracts to exist there are four major elements which must be satisfied.

1. There must be an offer
2. There must be an acceptance of an offer
3. There must be valuable consideration passing between the parties of the contract
4. There must be an intention between the parties to create a legally binding agreement which will be backed up and enforced by the courts of the land.

This article will be looking at the first element of the creation of a contract, the offer, what it is and how this affects the contract and then look at what a counter offer is and how this affects an offer.

The definition of an offer is fairly straightforward:

"I will sell you my car for $4,000"
"I will be your personal assistant for 6 months for $20,000"
"I will build you an airport terminal with car parking for 5,000 cars for $350 million"

are all examples of valid offers.

Once an offer has been made it is capable of being accepted. If A makes an offer to B then provided that there was an intention to creating relations and valuable consideration has passed then if B accepts that offer then there is a legally binding contract created.

What is the timeframe under which we B can accept A's offer. In the absence of the parties stating a timeframe (e.g. would you like to buy my car, you have two days to decide) then a reasonable timeframe for acceptance will be inferred by the courts. What is a reasonable timeframe depends on the circumstances. Clearly if A makes an offer to B to sell a painting for $1000 and B says he needs time to think about it and then comes back 11 months later saying I would like to accept your offer and buy your painting as offered for $1000 then if A says no then B cannot sue him for breach of contract because A can rightly say that his offer was withdrawn over the passage of time.

It is important to note that once an offer has been made it is capable of being withdrawn by the person making the offer at any time prior to its acceptance provided that it was not promised to keep the offer open for a set period of time.

Hypoglycemia, High Blood Pressure, and Diabetes - The Dietary Component

Hypoglycemia, high blood pressure, and diabetes are three chronic diseases that afflict a significant percentage of the U.S. population. Nearly 50% of the population is believed to be afflicted with hypoglycemia; 33% of the population with high blood pressure, and 8% of the population with diabetes. While doctor care and prescription medication are in order for each of these identified diseases, the dietary component cannot be ignored.

There is a common thread that runs through the dietary needs for each of these sufferers and that is less meat and more vegetables helps to keep the symptoms under control and even extend the life of the individual. To be more specific, it is recommended that those suffering from hypoglycemia should eat food close to the natural state as possible with a particular focus upon beans and other high fiber foods such as brown rice, potatoes, wheat bread, and whole grain cereals. Low sugar fruits such as berries, plums, apples, pears, peaches, cherries, and the like are also essential.

For those suffering from high blood pressure, here again fruits, especially, those that are good sources of potassium are important to consume such as cantaloupes, bananas, oranges, watermelon, and dried apricots. Vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, as well as those vegetables and fruits which are a good source of magnesium such as yellow corn, whole grains, dark green vegetables, figs, apples, nuts, and grape fruit need to be included. And finally those foods which are a good source of calcium cannot be forgotten. They include low- fat dairy products, peanuts, walnuts, dried beans, sunflower seeds, and dark leafy vegetables.

For those suffering from diabetes, again as for those with hypoglycemia, those fruits and vegetables which are high in fiber such as peas, beans, whole grain breads, and cereals may help to lower blood glucose which must be maintained at normal levels. Such a diet can also help you to achieve and maintain a desirable weight as well as help to prevent heart disease and blood vessel diseases.

The #1 Muscle Toning and Fat Burning Food

If you want to get toned lean muscle and burn off body fat, proper nutrition should be your top priority. You can't expect to get lean without putting your primary emphasis on proper nutrition. It takes more than just exercise in order to tone muscle and burn fat. It begins and ends with proper nutrition. No matter how much exercise you do, if you do not eat correctly, results will be little...and maybe, none.

Besides proper nutrition being the most important to tone muscle and burn fat, there are a few other basic principles you must also first grasp and adapt to in order to see...and feel success. Those principles are drinking plenty of water daily (1/2 to 1 gallon of water every day...yes that much!), get plenty of sleep every night (rest is often overlooked as an important aspect to build lean muscle and burn fat) (7-8 hours every night is ideal), cardio exercise (I recommend high intensity cardio such as sprinting, incline treadmill, and super set weight training), and of course, weight training.

Now, onto the #1 muscle toning and fat burning food:

Without a doubt, it would be protein. Making sure you get plenty of protein daily is absolutely important for muscle toning and to burn fat. Protein is important in muscle repair and growth. I recommend for you to get some form of protein before and after your workouts. The best food sources for protein are fish, lean poultry (chicken, turkey), almonds (and other nuts), egg whites, and whey protein shakes.
