We just wanted to get the word out about all these great mixed-breed and purebred puppies and kittens. They are great high-quality family pets."

"We are so happy to have this support," says Adopt-a-Pet. com co-founder David Meyer. "Our service is used by over 8,800 animal shelters and pet rescue organizations across the US and Canada and we currently have over 130,000 homeless pets listed on our site. We can only help these great future family members if we get the word out about Adopt-a-Pet. com, so the support of companies like Mutt Lynch Winery is so important to us."

Adding a touch of class to the animal welfare world, Mutt Lynch winery will be using its wines and its presence in stores across the country to help promote Adopt-a-Pet. com. Says, Lynch, "Let's lift a glass of wine in honor of homeless pet adoption, and invite everyone to go and adopt a dog, adopt a cat or even adopt a rabbit, and then celebrate!"

Healthy Weight Loss

Healthy Weight Loss

You can lose weight and be healthier. Did you know that it is now possible to drop up to 14 pounds in only 7 days? The "Negative Calorie Diet" makes it within your reach.

(PRWEB) November 5, 2004

A new diet program is getting increasingly popular due to the huge success it has achieved in a very short period of time. http://ycvtx. url. cjb. net (http://ycvtx. url. cjb. net) has been launched to help people who want to lose weight by controling their diets. Applying proper techniques can result in massive weight loss.

In order for your body to use the food you eat, the food itself must go through physical and chemical changes i. e., Your digestive system. Your digestive system "breaks down and processes" everything you consume. The process starts by chewing. Then your esophagus moves everything down to your stomach. This usually takes anywhere from a few minutes, to a half hour.

For about 4 hours, your stomach mixes the food up with acid and sends everything down to your small intestine. For approximately another 4 hours, your small intestine receives very strong alkaline (digestive) juices from your gallbladder and pancreas. These digestive juices mix with the now liquified food and your body starts to absorb it.

Giving proper and carefully planned food to our digestive system can result in considerably high weight loss. This is what you are taught in detail at http://ycvtx. url. cjb. net/ (http://ycvtx. url. cjb. net/)

This is what Jeannine Sander had to say:

"I have just been so pleased. I really have changed the entire way myself and my husband eats. I have lost 40 lbs and my husband has lost 60 lbs by incorporating ideas and cooking tips from the book into our lifestyle. A box of sugar-free chocolate fudgecicles lasts us over 2 weeks in the house now because we just do not feel the need to constantly be snacking. I wish I had taken before pictures of us but I just didn't believe the change would be so drastic! We have truly changed our eating habits for life and we will both be able to become Police Officers as we hoped thanks to our new physical abilities due to the weight loss and exercise. We were quite worried that we would never be able to reach the standards Police Dept set for physical testing, now we are ready to go!! Thanks so much for your book, it is wonderful."

If you are keen on losing weight, http://ycvtx. url. cjb. net/ (http://ycvtx. url. cjb. net/) may be a very good source of information.

Highly Effective Treatment To Eliminate Back Pain Forever

Highly Effective Treatment To Eliminate Back Pain Forever

Back pain relief expect and Certified Neuromuscular Therapist in Santa Monica shares the secret muscle therapy that continues to keep many athletes, seniors, desk workers, and anybody with back pain living a pain-free life.

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) September 11, 2005

While Neuromuscular Massage Therapy( NMT) has healed thousands and thousands of chronic back pain sufferers since 1935, it remains widely unknown to the masses. As 80-90% of all Olympic and professional athletes swear that NMT treatments prevent their injuries, keep them healthy, and improve their performance, NMT remains a viable alternative to anyone avoiding drugs, surgery, or adjustments.

“Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) is a safe and highly effective method that can eliminate chronic back pain without having to prescribe drugs or resort to surgery," says Dr. Diane L. Goldwater, MD. Ph. D., Sports Medicine Physician in Santa Monica, California.

"The solution to back pain is based purely on a cause-and-effect connection: Going after the muscles, not the spine, will get to the source of most active back pain," says Michael Greenspan, Certified Neuromuscular Therapist.

Over $21 Billion dollars was spent on back pain last year. And, with over 50,000 failed back surgery syndrome cases every year and 50% of back surgeries unsuccessful, it is no wonder many people are seeking alternative forms of therapy.

Michael Greenspan, CNMT, a Santa Monica based Certified Neuromuscular Therapist, is the leading back pain relief expert in the Los Angeles area committed to eliminating your back pain without adjustments, drugs, or surgery.

IPCPR Urges Courtesy, Not Ban, at Bus Shelters In Winston-Salem, NC

IPCPR Urges Courtesy, Not Ban, at Bus Shelters In Winston-Salem, NC

The Winston-Salem (NC) Transit Authority is considering a ban on smoking in bus shelters but the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association says it has a better idea – post courtesy messages, instead.

Winston Salem, NC (PRWEB) July 21, 2010

Winston-Salem, North Carolina (PRWEB) July 21, 2010 -- The Winston-Salem (NC) Transit Authority is considering a ban on smoking in bus shelters but the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association says it has a better idea – post courtesy messages, instead.

The WSTA Board recently discussed the issue and plans to bring it up again at their next meeting, in response to a complaint by a single rider.

“The world is upside down,” said Chris McCalla, legislative director of the IPCPR. “There’s no need to ban smoking in bus shelters and, even if it were enacted, there would be virtually no practical way to enforce it. Just because one person complained, doesn’t mean thousands of other bus riders who happen to be smokers should be inconvenienced.”

The single complaint centered on the shelters on Hawthorne Road, near Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where Center employees often go to smoke, away from the non-smoking hospital grounds.

“Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater,” said McCalla. “Instead of an outright ban, simply post signs reminding smokers to be considerate of others when there is a need for them to share a shelter with non-smokers. Smokers, by and large, are a considerate bunch and will appreciate the civil tradeoff.”

McCalla said it had nothing to do with alleged health factors regarding secondhand smoke.

“The oh-so-brief encounters of random whiffs of smoke will not harm anyone. After all, even the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor has established safe levels of secondhand smoke. Some people just don’t like the smell of smoke, but there’s no reason that the rights of smokers should be trumped by a few non-smokers. Besides, a good cigar or pipe usually emits quite an enjoyable odor.”

McCalla asked, “What if someone complained about the odor of cheap perfume or wet dogs? What if someone complained about seriously obese people taking up more than their share of seating space in the shelters and on buses?

“Imposing a smoking ban in bus shelters is the first step on a slippery slope that could lead to even more ridiculous conclusions,” he said.

Instead, McCalla believes posting signs urging smokers to display courtesy to non-smokers with whom they share bus shelters is the civil way to manage the situation.

“This way, everybody wins.”

Knowing What Triggers Your Weight Gain Secret to Dropping Extra Pounds Says Hypnotherapist Dr. Georgina Cannon

Knowing What Triggers Your Weight Gain Secret to Dropping Extra Pounds Says Hypnotherapist Dr. Georgina Cannon

Dr. Georgina Cannon teaches clients to access their subconscious where weight gain begins. Triggers in the brain tell us to hold on to weight for various reason. Through NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) or Hypnosis the subconscious mind can be reprogrammed into allowing our body to let go of excess weight or inches and to find itsÂ’ natural size.

(PRWEB) April 2, 2005

Over winter many people eat for comfort, rather like hibernation. Our primal motivation in wintertime is to store fat for survival or emotional comfort. When spring appears, and we emerge from hiding, our bodies want to evolve naturally back into shape. With hypnosis we can access the primal brain, our subconscious, to motivate and feed the body differently and appropriately for the Spring and Summer seasons.

Dr. Cannon has seen the effects of changed beliefs on her clients. Dan, a retired gentleman, a widower, who ate out of boredom, through hypnosis was able to access a long time partially forgotten longing to photograph nature. He joined a camera club, made new friends, took up hiking to photograph his beloved close to the earth flora, found through the summer time, he let go of over 40 lbs. His body became stronger and leaner; his attitude about life more joyous and his world is much wider than the old t. v./fridge track he used to have. Joanne, a new mom in her early 20Â’s had slowly been gaining weight since puberty, and she was now more than 50 lbs over her healthy weight.

Using hypnosis, we worked with her to heal some early life issues, and build her self esteem. We also changed her craving for junk food sugar to the natural sugars of fruits and vegetables. Joanne, six months later, has almost reached her target weight. But most importantly, she feels good about who she is, and knows that emotions and food donÂ’t belong together.

“We encourage clients to see beyond the focus of weight loss” Cannon explains “our goal is to help raise the client’s self esteem, because when they feel good about themselves, they have respect for their body and treat it well.

Dr. Georgina Cannon, a certified master clinical Hypnotherapist, is an international award-winning teacher, lecturer and Director of the Ontario Hypnosis Centre in Toronto, Ontario. In the seven years since itÂ’s founding, Cannon has initiated the ethical protocols and procedures for regression now followed by her students and many others in the regression field.

She is recognized by many in the media as “The Source” for expert opinion in the field of hypnotherapy and issues around complimentary wellness treatments, and she regularly meets with medical and wellness professionals to enhance their knowledge and awareness of hypnosis and the dynamic healing potential of soul, or past life journeys.
