How to Create a Tennessee-Themed Gift Basket

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

By Wendy Wood Have you ever wondered why Tennessee earned the nickname as the “Volunteer State?” During the War of 1812, the state provided volunteer soldiers who wound up playing an important role. With particularly exemplary duty during the Battle of New Orleans, Tennessee was hailed as a great help. Doesnt a Volunteer-Thank You gift basket filled with edible goodies seem like a great way to pay homage to the state’s historical philanthropy? Tennessee offers a wealth of notable cities, including Memphis (the largest), Nashville (the capital), Chattanooga, and Knoxville. Through these locations, easy access to eight other states in the U.S. is made possible, as Tennessee lies adjacent to Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Arkansas (just to name a few). The Mississippi River is also situated within close proximity to the state. Sports enthusiasts may cheer for a gift basket containing memorabilia regarding their favorite home teams, such as the Memphis Grizzlies (NBA basketball) and the Tennessee Titans (NFL football). Make sure to stock up on corresponding colors to accompany sports-related themes, such as navy blue, light blue, smoke blue, white, and golden yellow for the Grizzlies; and navy, Titan blue, white, and red for the Titans. Also, the Grizzlies display a bear for their mascot, which could go over well with younger gift basket recipients. To prepare a Discover Tennessee gift basket, you could pull ideas from some of the famous natives and residents associated with the state. In the world of poker, Chris Moneymaker hails from Knoxville, and has made quite a name for himself on the celebrity poker circuit. A gift basket highlighting a Poker Night theme makes great Father’s Day, birthday, and retirement gestures. In the field of music, the soulful Isaac Hayes and the bubbly Dolly Parton are connected to Tennessee. A “Working 9 to 5″ gift basket (paying homage to Parton’s comical 80s flick) filled with coffee, tea, and snacks would make a great gift for the newly hired. Heavy hitters in the film industry include Samuel L. Jackson and Quentin Tarantino, which would make great movie theatre-themed gift baskets. Popcorn, beverages, and candy make great accompaniments for a basket including the popular Tarantino movies, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (which also starred Jackson). Additional Tennessee themed gift basket ideas to consider may include the usage of state symbols. To get the creative juices flowing, you should know that the state bird is the mockingbird, the state flower is the iris; and the state animal is the raccoon.

How Good Is Hoodithin Really?

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Elysia Simmons Weight loss is often an over-whelming task for members of todays society however, there are now supplements available to make the mission a lot less daunting for you. Of the many diet pills on the market, Hoodithin is one of the fastest and most effective available today. Made from the extract of the Southern African cactus Hoodia, Hoodithin utilizes compounds within the plant which suppress your appetite eliminating the feeling of hunger and cravings that many experience when dieting. This in turn allows you to feel fuller, leading you to eat less and consequently lose the weight faster. Using revolutionary technology the creators of Hoodithin have established a means of extracting the effective compounds of the Hoodia plant at a potent 20 to 1 ratio. This innovative strength allows you to gain maximum benefit from the weight loss supplement. Also, the active ingredients contained in the Hoodithin supplement have been pre-extracted to allow for direct absorption into your system providing faster weight loss results for you. Due to the fast absorption, Hoodithin has the potential to work almost immediately. This provides you with appetite suppression to prevent you succumbing to the cravings that jeopardize everyones diet at one stage or another. The natural components do not include any caffeine stimulants which allow users to consume Hoodithin even before going to sleep at night thus extending the beneficial weight loss effects throughout the nights duration. In fact, Hoodithin has built a reputation on the fact that it does not contain any of the hazardous stimulants found in other diet pills available on the market today. The lack of such stimulants eliminates any adverse side effects including a racing heart beat, high blood pressure and diarrhea that people experience with other diet pills. Numerous TV shows have featured Hoodithin and endorsed the weight loss supplement, including The Today Show, Oprah and many more. Many users have deemed the product a miracle supplement based on its capacity to suppress appetites and support dramatic weight loss. With such expansive media attention, inferior versions have inundated the market these products do not contain the pure 100% Hoodia that Hoodithin provides its users. Hoodithin has proven successful as a means of suppressing appetite and eliminating cravings during weight loss. If you are trying to lose weight, this product will assist in achieving superior results in a shorter time span.

Bat-Wings: The Dreaded Hanging Arm Skin After WLS

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

By Kaye Bailey Gastric-bypass surgery is only the first step many morbidly obese patients take in their total body make overs. One residue of massive weight loss is the dreaded bat-wings. You know what Im talking about - that upper arm skin which hangs like bat wings if you spread your arms wide ready for flight. Wave your hand and the bat-wing waves too. For some after massive weight loss there is so much skin its difficult to find shirts with sleeves that fit, and worse, its embarrassing to wear sleeveless shirts. What to do? Exercise: The first line of defense is to do weight or strength training during the phase of rapid weight loss. Many patients report satisfactory skin shrinkage of the upper arms when theyve incorporated light exercise during weight loss. Bicep curls and tricep pulldowns are the best exercises for firming upper arms. Arm training takes minimal equipment (2 light dumbbells 3-5 lbs each) and limited space. It should be noted, the younger the patient and the fewer times theyve seen significant weight change, the better chance they have of toning and shaping their arms with exercise. Now, that doesnt let older patients off the hook for doing exercise - it just gives a bit more encouragement for younger people who undergo weight loss surgery. Liposuction: The next, but not very plausible option is liposuction. Lipo is only appropriate when there is a lot of fat and the skin is tight. The lipo sucks out the fat and allows the skin to shrink. This isnt plausible for most WLS patients because theyve already lost the fat leaving an empty balloon of upper arm skin. Brachioplasty: The last resort is the $5,000 arm lift called brachioplasty Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that eliminates excess skin from the upper arm. Incisions and Scars in Arm Lift Scars are the greatest drawback of this operation. They will extend from the armpit to the elbow, along the inside of the arm. This operation exchanges one cosmetic problem (loose skin) for another (scars). In general, those with very loose saggy skin are most likely to find this exchange worthwhile. Those with a small amount of looseness will probably not want the scars.

Protein Rich Foods

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

By Julia Jones Proteins are essential nutrient for the development of the body. The digestive juices in your stomach and intestines break down the protein into amino acids. The Amino acids contributed by proteins is used by cells to build new proteins and repair the bones and muscles. They help in cell maintenance and repair. The body proteins are continuously being made and at the same time are being used to maintain the functions of the cells and organs in your body. Proteins help to heal the cuts and abrasions quickly. Without protein the muscle does not grow and blood does not clot correctly. It is not only necessary for physical development but also for a healthy skin, beautiful hair and internal organs to keep you fit. The body uses proteins to build hormones, antibodies and the enzymes that regulate the chemical reaction within the bodyProteins are required for physical growth. It is essential for the growing infants, children and the teens. They require it the most as it is their growing age. It is important for them to be physically well built and strong. If they do not have a well built body they might face physical or emotional problems. As you grow older then too you require proteins in your diet to keep away from physical and emotional stress. Protein is required for the prevention of muscle loss. Pregnant women or the ones who are expecting to become, also need to take sufficient protein in their diet. It is not only required for them but also the baby that is being formed within. The breast feeding women too require it. There are different sources of protein. You can obtain complete protein through animal food. You can have it in plenty in a non vegetarian diet; there is chicken, meat, egg, turkey and fish. If you take chicken and meat and fish regularly then you are definitely taking in the protein your body requires. Eating too much of chicken and meat always can create problems. Eating fish is good for the intake of protein as it reduces the risk of heart diseases. You can also take protein through complementary protein. Legumes, nuts, peas, seeds and soyabeans are an excellent source of complementary proteins. All the vegetarians should make it necessary to include sufficient amount of nuts, legumes and soyabeans in their diet. How much of the proteins your body requires depends on our body weights. It is important to get the right balance of proteins according to the body requirement. It has been said that athletes need the right balance of protein rather than protein rich food. Athletes require more carbohydrates to give them energy so that the proteins do not have to do that extra work of giving energy rather than its own function. The protein required by the child depends upon the age and weight. The elder children require more protein than the very young ones. The requirement of protein also depends on the type of protein you are taking, is it a complete protein or a complementary protein. If you are taking complementary then you need extra protein. If you are taking too much of red meat then actually you are taking more proteins than required.

The Saints Will Be Teachers in the Kingdom of God

Monday, July 16th, 2007

By Alan D Campbell When Jesus Christ returns to this earth and establishes the Kingdom of God the Kingdom of God, who will teach people the truth of God? Will Jesus Christ do it all by himself or do the resurrected saints have a role to play in teaching people the truth of God? The purpose of this article is to show how the resurrected saints will be teachers in the Kingdom of God. A Kingdom of Priests When God entered into the old covenant with the House of Israel, he told them that if they obeyed his voice and kept his covenant that they would be a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19:5-6). He did not say that at that time they were a kingdom of priests. For the House of Israel to become a kingdom of priests that had to obey his law and keep his covenant. The entire House of Israel was to become a kingdom of priests. They were to become a model nation that would learn Gods law, serve God, and teach the Gentiles. However, Israel forsook God, broke his law, and followed the pagan gods of the nations (II Kings 17:7-23). Christians are now a royal priesthood. This truth is described by the apostle Peter in I Peter 2:5, 9. I Peter 2:5, 9 “5Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” “9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (KJV) These verses show how every Christian is to offer up spiritual sacrifices just as the sons of Aaron offered up animal sacrifices. Christians are to offer up spiritual sacrifices such as prayers for others, praises and thanksgiving to God, and acts of kindness (Psalms 50:14, 23; Hebrews 13:15-16). The main duty of a priest was to teach the people the law of God (Deuteronomy 24:8; II Kings 17:27; II Chronicles 15:3; Nehemiah 8:9; Malachi 2:7). Christians should proclaim the praises or virtues of God to others (I Peter 2:9). Christians are to be teachers in this life as they prepare to be teachers in the Kingdom of God (Hebrews 5:12). The resurrected saints will be kings and priests in the Kingdom of God as shown in Revelation 5:8-10. Revelation 5:8-10 “8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (KJV) The four living creatures and the 24 elders are singing a song about how the saints are going to be kings and priests. Therefore, the last part of verse 9 and verse 10 should read as “and hast redeemed them to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made them unto our God kings and priests: and they shall reign on the earth.” As priests Christians will be the messengers of God to teach his law to the people (Malachi 2:7). The Mountain of the Lord People in the Kingdom of God will be eager to learn about Gods law and his ways as shown in Isaiah 2:2-4 Isaiah 2:2-4 “2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” (KJV) Climbing a mountain takes effort. If the mountain is a very high one, it takes a great deal of effort. The mountain of the Lords house is going to be established in the top of the mountains. This language is symbolic. It shows that the Kingdom of God is going to have more authority than that of any other nation. Because the mountain of the Lords house is going to be in the top of the mountains, people will have to make an effort to go there to learn of Gods ways. They will have to hunger and thirst to learn Gods way more perfectly. Nations will say to other nations, come join us in the climb to the mountain of the Lord so that we can learn more of his way. They will want to learn Gods law and his way that leads to lasting peace among nations. The House of Israel will loathe themselves because of their sins (Ezekiel 20:43 and Ezekiel 37:31). But some nations may refuse to go to Jerusalem. They may think the journey to the mountain of the Lord is not worth the trip. Jesus Christ will rebuke them for their rebellion. He will serve as their shepherd and guide them to the path that leads to peace and abundant blessings. They will eventually heed Christs instruction and change their weapons of war into implements of agriculture and other equipment that will bring blessings to all. Teachers Will Be Nearby In addition to going to the mountain of the Lord to learn more of Gods ways, Christ will provide teachers to be near to the people as shown in Isaiah 30:20-21. Isaiah 30:20-21 “20And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: 21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” (KJV) The teachers will not be moved into a corner because the people will be eager to learn. However, God will discipline the people and nations who rebel against his laws. One example of such discipline is that the nations who refuse to keep the Feast of Tabernacles will not receive any rain (Zechariah 14:16-19). Although God will send afflictions to nations to help them learn that disobedience brings curses, the saints will serve as teachers. The saints will not be far away, but rather they will be near to the people. The saints will help to light the way with the truth of Gods word so that people will know which path they must walk to obey God and receive his blessings. The saints will serve as teachers under Jesus Christ who is the high priest and king of kings. The saints will teach the people the difference between the holy and the unholy and between the clean and the unclean. The saints will teach the people the truth about Gods law (Ezekiel 22:26 and Ezekiel 44:23-24). Conclusion The House of Israel was to be a kingdom of priests, but they broke the covenant they made with God. Christians are now a royal priesthood. Christians should offer up spiritual sacrifices in the form of prayers for others, praise and thanksgiving to God, and good works. In the Kingdom of God, the saints will be a kingdom of priests. The saints will teach people the law of God and how to apply it in their lives. The saints will be very close to the people and show true concern for them. The saints have a great destiny as kings and priests in the Kingdom of God. The saints will teach the law of God to people so that they can obey God, receive God’s blessings, and live an abundant life. Alan D. Campbell lives in Brandon, Florida.
