Tips on how to Quit Smoking, for Good!
It’s no secret that smoking is bad for us, but if you’re like most smokers, you avoid looking at the destruction smoking causes. Inform yourself and read everything you can find about smoking. It will help you start to make the psychological shift necessary to quit smoking.
When you first stop smoking, it throws your body into shock. You’ll find that it’s easier to cope with the discomforts of nicotine withdrawal if you eat right, and you’ll cut down weight gain due to quitting.
If you already have a daily exercise regimen, great! If not, start. Pick something you enjoy, and you’ll be more inclined to stay with it. Try a half hour of exercise every day. Walking is a great way to exercise and it’s a quick fix for the urge to smoke.
Water will help to flush toxins out of your body, and fight the craving to smoke. When you’re well-hydrated, you’ll feel better all together, which is a plus when you’re going through nicotine withdrawal.
It would be a good idea to consider using nicotine replacement therapy, such as nicotine patches or chewing gum, especially for people who smoke heavily or who need the extra help. Also there are medications available by prescription, such as bupropion (brand name Zyban) that can help you quit by reducing withdrawal symptoms and the urge to smoke. Ask your doctor what would be the best treatment for you.
Having others who are interested in your success is very important. There are groups you can join online such as: Whyquit.com, Quitnet.com, Inspire.com, and many more.
Your dedication to quit smoking is established one day at a time. Every day you are smoke free makes you stronger, and stronger.
You might also want to cut down on coffee intake as you will absorb more caffeine when there is no nicotine in your system. Feeling jittery will not help your plan to quit. It will also be best to avoid alcohol as most people find it hard to resist smoking when they drink.
Plan ahead for situations in which you are likely to be tempted to smoke, such as parties, drinking or going out for coffee.
If you find you are losing the motivation to quit, remind yourself of the countless medical and financial benefits of quitting! For example, 12 months after quitting, the risk of heart disease is reduced to nearly half that of a smoker’s.
Throw away all cigarettes, ashtrays, lighters and anything else that might remind you of smoking. Wash your clothes, bedding and clean your car to remove the smell of smoke.
There are two medications on the market that do not contain nicotine and are clinically proven to help smokers quit smoking for good. I suggest visiting a doctor to see if Zyban or Chantix are right for you, and if they approve of the medication you can always buy Zyban from a U.S. licensed online pharmacy such as Viapro.com. They have been prescribing online since 1998 and have a toll-free phone number to reach their physician or customer service line.
I hope these 12 Tips on how to quit smoking help you. If you have other tips, please share with us!

Truth About Confidence
One thing people fail to realize, is that confidence, mystery, being a challenge... it is support. It supports the things that really make a person attractive. You cannot develop these things and be successful without developing other things.
Example: Due to methods well known on www.sosuave.com you are able to create mystery, and you have a great thing going for a few dates.
One day, she calls and you let her get the machine to be a challenge. Well she needs something from you asap so she comes by to get it. She knocks on the door, and finds you playing a game on the internet at 3 PM eating cereal with clothes and papers scattered all over your floor when she thought you were outside doing something important.
Mystery, gone. Challenge, gone. Girl, gone.
However, lets say you had those dates, created mystery, and she comes to your door again. You're just getting home from golfing with your buddies or from a meeting or something similar as you see her at the door. You invite her inside for a moment and she sees that you have a clean place,

Got any raisins?
There was this duck that walked into a bar and sat down in a stool and the bartender said, "Can I help you?"
The duck said, "quack, quack, quack, got any raisins?"
The bartender said, "NO! This is a bar and we don't sell raisins."
The duck walked out and then he came in the next day and sat in the very same stool!
The bartender walked over and asked him if he could help him? The duck said, "quack, quack, quack, got any raisins?"
The bartender said, "NO this is a BAR we don't sell raisins!" So the duck walked out again and left.
He came back the next day and sat in the same stool once again! The duck yelled at the bartender, "quack, quack, quack, got any raisins?"
The bartender said, "NO. And if you come back here once more I am gonna nail your webbed feet to the ground and you are gonna die there."The duck said, "ok", and left.
The next day came and sure enough the duck came back except he only peeped his head inside the door. He said, "quack, quack, got any nails?" The bartender replied, "No!"
The duck said "Good, then you got any raisins?"

Liar Liar
A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and asked, "May I see your driver's license?"
The driver answered, "I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI."
The officer asked, "May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?"
The driver answered,"It's not my car. I stole it."
The officer asked, "The car is stolen?"
The driver answered, "That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there."
The officer asked, "There's a gun in the glove box?"
The driver answered, "Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk."
The officer asked, "There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?"
The driver answered, "Yes, sir."
Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by! police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation.
The Captain asked, "Sir, can I see your license?" The driver answered, "Sure. Here it is." It was valid.
The Captain asked, "Who's car is this?"
The driver answered, "It's mine, officer. Here's the owner' card." The driver owned the car.
The Captain asked, "Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?"
The driver answered, "Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it." Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.
The Captain asked, "Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it."
The driver answered, "No problem." Trunk is opened; no body.
The Captain said, "I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk."
The driver answered, "Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too!"

The ABCs of Cold and Flu Prevention
Remember to take these six precautions during cold and flu season and save those vacation days for more fun activities than sniffling and sneezing.
Adopt the French way
Blast your sponges in the microwave
Call a friend and walk
Adopt the French way
The evidence for hands as a major route for transmitting infection is so strong that scientists at the London School of Hygiene recommend greeting friends the French way, with a peck on the cheek rather than a handshake. Or improvise, according to the situation. The next time someone approaches you with palm outstretched, try an á¾¾air kiss᾿ or a manly hug instead.
Blast your sponges in the microwave
Keep your kitchen sponge or cloth germ-free by microwaving it on full power for 2 minutes daily. This kills 99 per cent of micro-organisms. WARNING: Do this only with a damp sponge or cloth – otherwise it's a fire risk.

Newly found aquatic species by the Census of Marine Life
LONDON (AFP) - Results of the first ever global marine life census were unveiled Monday, revealing a startling overview after a decade-long trawl through the murky depths.
The Census of Marine Life estimated there are more than one million species in the oceans, with at least three-quarters of them yet to be discovered.
The 650-million-dollar (470-million-euro) international study discovered more than 6,000 potentially new species, and found some species considered rare were actually common.
The study said it offered "an unprecedented picture of the diversity, distribution and abundance of all kinds of marine life in Planet Ocean -- from microbes to whales, from the icy poles to the warm tropics, from the tidal near shores to the deepest dark depths."
The census establishes a baseline against which 21st-century changes can be monitored.
New species were discovered, marine highways and rest stops mapped and changes in species abundance were documented.
The research involved more than 2,700 scientists, 670 institutions, more than 540 expeditions and around 9,000 days at sea. Nearly 30 million observations of 120,000 species were made.
The census was formally launched in London, with more than 300 figures involved gathering to share the results and consider their implications.
"The census has far exceeded any dream that I had. We felt like the people who created the first dictionary and encylopedia 250 years ago," said Jesse Ausubel, a scientist who co-founded the study.
"The most surprising thing was beauty. Our eyes pumped out of our head in front of this beauty."
The survey set out to find out what used to live in the oceans, what lives there now and what might live there in the future.
The census said 16,764 species of fish had so far been described, but an estimated 5,000 more were yet to be discovered.
Scientists found some species thought extinct 50 million years ago, while other finds were less encouraging.
Around 40 percent of plankton, at the bottom of the ocean food chain, has disappeared in the last 30 years, which was put down to a rise in ocean temperatures.
Sharks have disappeared from 99 percent of some areas.
Australian Ian Poiner, chair of the census steering committee, said the researchers "systematically defined for the first time both the known and the vast unknown, unexplored ocean".
"All surface life depends on life inside and beneath the oceans. Sea life provides half of our oxygen and a lot of our food and regulates climate. We are all citizens of the sea," he said.
"While much remains unknown, including at least 750,000 undiscovered species and their roles, we are better acquainted now with our fellow travellers and their vast habitat on this globe."
The census documented a changing marine world, richer in diversity, more connected through distribution and movements, more impacted by humans and less explored than was expected.
The researchers used sound, satellites and electronics to track migratory routes.
They got down to 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) below the sea in the western Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench.
They affirmed that by weight up to 90 percent of marine life is microbial -- with the equivalent of 35 elephants for every living person.
Scientific steering committee vice-chair Myriam Sibuet of France, said: "The census enlarged the known world. Life astonished us everywhere we looked.
"In the deep sea we found luxuriant communities despite extreme conditions. The discoveries of new species and habitats both advanced science and inspired artists with their extraordinary beauty."
Much of the marine world remains to be explored, so vast are the seas.
The census shows where explorers have not yet looked. For more than 20 percent of the oceans' volume, the database has no records at all, and for large areas very few.
The findings are partially available on the www.iobis.org website.
This just shows that there's still a lot to be discovered in this world.
