			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is Resveratrol really &#8220;A Fountain of Youth for Exhausted Moms&#8221;? Maybe, sort of.</p>
<p><a href="http://momz.com/resveratrol-a-fountain-of-youth-for-exhausted-moms"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-501" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="Resveratrol" src="http://momz.com/images/resveratrol.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="322" /></a>When the good folks at <a title="ResVitale" href="http://www.resvitale.com" target="_blank">ResVitále</a> offered to send me a sample of their Resveratrol supplement I jumped on the opportunity. After all, I was very familiar with the benefits of antioxidants and how they helped all of our cells cheat aging to some extent. I had watched a 60 Minutes segment about Resveratrol that had me convinced there was something to this idea that the skin of grapes had special ingredients that made it a powerful antioxidant that would be great for us.</p>
<p>After completing my 30-day bottle of supplements I can honestly say that I must have missed the &#8220;Youth Fountain&#8221;&#8230;, and that darn mirror continues to display the same face when I look into it. But, as with any antioxidant the rewards don&#8217;t come quickly. Aging, thank goodness, comes along slowly. So does the fight to slow it down. Quality antioxidants really are helpful in slowing the aging process down and I encourage you to do your own research.</p>
<p>The reason I&#8217;m particularly excited about Resveratrol is that it is extremely potent and equivalent to far more glasses of red wine than I can consume. Like you, I am skeptical of miracles (i.e. &#8220;Fountains of Youth&#8221;), but having been familiar with nutrition for many years now I do believe firmly in supplementing your diet with quality vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The key is the quality of the supplements as the cheaper ones are not absorbed into your system and ultimately become what nurses call &#8220;bedpan bullets&#8221;.</p>
<p>The article below offers more information to help you decide whether or not to swap some of that fast food budget out for some high octane antioxidants instead.</p>
<p>===================================================================</p>
<p><strong>Resveratrol: A Fountain of Youth for Exhausted Moms &#8211; By Joseph Maroon, M.D.</strong></p>
<p>Life can be demanding. Trying to balance work, home and a social life is a challenge when you simply don’t have the energy. Fatigue can make it difficult to get through a stressful day and many busy moms make lifestyle and diet changes to cope.<br />
The latest research shows that certain food supplements containing concentrated plant polyphenols, the beneficial organic molecules found in red wine grapes, may also provide these benefits.  These supplements have been shown to activate ‘longevity or survival genes,’ thereby enhancing your energy and endurance.<br />
Research done at Harvard Medical School and around the world confirms that resveratrol is the most powerful of these gene-activating plant polyphenols.  Many people taking organic resveratrol supplements have seen results of increased stamina and energy.<br />
<strong>How Aging Affects Your Body</strong><br />
As you age, the cells in your body grow slower and tend to regenerate at slower rates. Cellular activity is responsible for every function in the body, including skin tissue. As we age, cellular healing, skin cell turnover and the development of new skin tissues can be just a fraction of what it was in your youth. Other cells such as brain cells, may even stop regenerating and repairing themselves causing many people as they age to become easily fatigued, experience lower mood levels, or find it hard to keep up with daily activities.<br />
Fluctuating or depleted hormone levels due to decreased cellular activity can sometimes lead to excessive stress and an overall poor state of health. If you are not eating healthy, exercising regularly, and not taking the nutritional supplements, vitamins and minerals suggested, you are probably already exhibiting the signs of premature aging.<br />
Resveratrol may have the ability to “stop the clock” on poor aging by enhancing your energy levels, as seen in many research studies.</p>
<p><strong>What is Resveratrol?</strong><br />
Resveratrol is a natural, plant-based supplement that scientific studies have shown can actually slow the aging process and prolong life in every testing thus far.<br />
Resveratrol is a plant polyphenol molecule organically extracted from the skin, seeds, stem and vine of red wine grape. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that can protect cells from free radical damage. Free radical damage is the root cause of much of the cellular deterioration seen with aging. Polyphenol compounds are also found in pine trees, peanuts, dark chocolate and cocoa, and have been used for many years in Asian cultures for treating heart and liver problems due to their antioxidant properties.<br />
Scientists discovered resveratrol after investigating the impact of the typical French diet. Researchers have been looking at the relationship between the amounts of red wine that people in France regularly consume and the lower incidence of heart disease compared to other countries that did not drink as much red wine. Red wine has long been lauded for its antioxidant properties and heart benefits.  Resveratrol research now strongly links this polyphenol’s action to many of the heart benefits found with red wine.   Other research has shown improved cellular function and division, and improvement of central nervous system functioning.<br />
The goal of anti-aging resveratrol supplements is to provide concentrated amounts of resveratrol in its most active form &#8211; known as trans-resveratrol. Trans-resveratrol is a very sensitive polyphenol molecule and will only remain active when it is sheltered from oxygen and sunlight. Trans-resveratrol in its purest form offers the most benefits. Only a few nutritional supplement companies are able to source this form of resveratrol and preserve it in this active form for human consumption.<br />
<strong>How the Supplement Works</strong><br />
Resveratrol activates the ‘longevity gene,’ otherwise known as the survival gene, and these genes have been shown to enhance energy and endurance along with many other health preserving actions. Resveratrol is also a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect cells from the aging process. Other research has shown resveratrol can improve cellular metabolism, functioning and cellular rejuvenation and is a key player in maintaining youth.<br />
<strong>Benefits of Resveratrol as seen in over 100 studies:</strong><br />
•	Increases energy and endurance<br />
•	Provides strong antioxidant protection<br />
•	Improves central nervous system functioning<br />
•	Protects against over active immune and inflammatory response<br />
•	Reduces the risk of neurodegenerative diseases<br />
•	Plays a role in cancer protection<br />
•	Strengthens the immune system</p>
<p><strong>Are Resveratrol Supplements Safe?</strong><br />
Studies thus far have not shown any adverse effects using standard treatment doses. While human studies of resveratrol are minimal, no significant side effects have been reported to date. In my book, The Longevity Factor: How Resveratrol and Red Wine can Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life, I discuss the science of genetic activation and the anti-aging capabilities of certain foods and supplements containing trans-resveratrol.<br />
Research surrounding the effects of resveratrol on pregnancy is non-existent.  Resveratrol, like soy and red clover supplements, can affect estrogen levels in women, and these changes may have a negative effect on the fetus.  Therefore, we do not recommend taking resveratrol supplements while pregnant.<br />
<strong>Scientific Studies on Resveratrol</strong><br />
Scientific studies have been conducted to analyze resveratrol’s health benefits.  Many have concluded that resveratrol can function to protect the nervous system and improve cellular metabolism.<br />
Scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis reported that resveratrol has protective effects on the nervous system. It has also been linked to providing protection from brain damage, and it is currently being evaluated for its effects on patients with Alzheimer’s disease¹.<br />
As aging occurs, dividing cells lose the ability to carry over adequate amounts of DNA to the new cells that are formed.  This causes the new cells to function poorly and die prematurely. Harvard researchers recently published results of a study in the journal Cell indicating that resveratrol activates a protein called stabilizing proteins that are actively involved in the gene (DNA) repair process. By repairing breaks in the chromosomes, the effects of chromosomal damage due to aging are reduced².<br />
Other studies have shown that resveratrol plays a significant role in increasing animal lifespan and may also play a role in cancer protection. Resveratrol’s ability to stimulate the longevity gene is believed to be the key factor in anti-aging, and has the ability to help many.<br />
<strong>Why Choose Organic Resveratrol Supplements?</strong><br />
Taking organic resveratrol supplements offers both health and environmental benefits.<br />
Consuming organically grown foods and organic supplements can be a safer way to improve and protect your overall health, because organic products have been produced without the use of toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic compounds are often more easily absorbed and processed in the body.<br />
Organic resveratrol supplements use plant sources that may offer a wealth of health benefits without also adding to the chemical toxins we consume daily in our foods and environment. For this reason, whenever possible I recommend organic foods and supplements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like Brooke Drake, the author of this article, I don&#8217;t get too wrapped up in the &#8220;green movement&#8221;, but there are a lot of simple things we can do as guests on our planet to lessen the damage we leave behind. Brooke offers a few very good ideas worth considering&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>Green Parenting Tips</strong></p>
<p>I’ve noticed that the topic in everyone’s conversations these days (aside from employment and the economy), is going green. It’s all over – TV, newspapers, magazines – you name it and it probably has something about going green. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great. I do think it is important to care for the environment, but everything I hear to do to help seems to be on a larger scale. So it got me thinking, what could I do as a parent to help the environment? Well, I discovered some simple green parenting tips to follow, which can help save the environment.</p>
<p><strong>Tip#1 – Rethink the baby wipes</strong></p>
<p>I was on one of my most favorite sites, babycenter.com, and they had an article on steps to take to go green and something caught my eye. They reported that most baby wipes take several hundred years to break down. To be honest, I never really gave much thought to wipes or the footprint they leave on the environment. I read that on average people use about 5,000 wipes per baby, which means there are a lot of wipes in landfills. So as an alternative, I found that there are companies that have created 100% biodegradable wipes. One company I’ve seen in particular is Nature Babycare (www.naty.com), and they offer a variety of biodegradable products including biodegradable wipes.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #2 – Switch to cloth diapers</strong></p>
<p>According to an article from the Mother Nature Network, kids use an average of eight diapers a day until they are potty-trained. So if you take an average age of 2 ½ years to potty train a child then you are looking at approximately 7,300 used diapers and that is just for one child! Just think of all the diapers out there that are in landfills for years (along with the wipes). An alternative to using disposable diapers are today’s version of cloth diapers. I know what you are probably thinking, “cloth diapers, never”, but the thing that makes it different from our parents’ time is the inserts that fit inside the cloth diapers. A company called gDiapers has created a 100% biodegradable insert that is actually safe to flush down the toilet.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #3 – Purchase wood toys instead of plastic</strong></p>
<p>In the book, Green Parenting, it says that plastic and battery operated toys can contain hazardous materials such as phthalates or plastic softeners. This can be dangerous for many reasons, one primarily because it seems that most babies learn by putting things in their mouths, I can personally attest to this, my child is at this stage and puts everything in her mouth. So the answer to this is to purchase wood toys finished with nontoxic paint instead of the plastic ones. They may not be as shiny or as loud (which actually may be a good thing for parents), but they don’t contain the dangerous toxins which is key. The company Wooden Toys carries over 500 wood items that are each crafted with non-toxic paint and 100% child safe design.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #4 – Toy and clothing swaps</strong></p>
<p>As most parents have probably seen, it is amazing the number of toys, activity centers, and clothes. that are recommended for babies to grow and learn. Personally, my daughter’s clothes and equipment seem to outnumber our belongings by at least two to one, and she is only four months old! Not only are these things generally bulky and take up space, but it can also get expensive keeping up with her development. To try to combat this, I‘ve started to see parents exchanging toys and clothing. This can help save a lot of money plus it can save on storage space.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #5 – Make your own baby food or buy organic</strong></p>
<p>In an article on green parenting called “<a title="10 Tips for Green Parenting" href="http://greenliving.suite101.com/article.cfm/10_tips_for_green_parenting" target="_blank">10 Tips for Green Parenting</a>” they say that “in addition to being better for the environment, natural healthy food from the start reduces the later risk of heart disease, allergies, behavioral problems, and many other ailments”. Whether this is completely true or not, it is something to think about. One way to do this is by making your own baby food. This has been a “hot” topic for many of my friends with babies, and I’ve read that it is pretty easy to make yourself. But if you like the idea but would prefer some assistance to make the job easier, then Williams Sonoma has a product called the Beaba Babycook. It is a steamer, blender, warmer and defroster in one small appliance that makes it easy to prepare fresh, healthy meals for a baby (I haven’t tried it out personally but it looks easy). But if making baby food isn’t your thing you can always purchase organic baby food at your local grocery store, which is also healthy and nutritious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lydia Ramsey, owner of <a title="Manners, Etiquette, Toasting" href="http://www.MannersThatSell.com" target="_blank">Manners That Sell</a>,  sent this short primer on toasting etiquette just in the nick of time for Christmas. I hope you&#8217;ll find it useful to you on those special occasions when a toast is in order. Cheers and Merry Christmas moms and fans of moms!! &#8211; Kathy</p>
<p><a href="http://momz.com/images/toasting-etiquette1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-485" style="margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;" title="Toasting Etiquette" src="http://momz.com/images/toasting-etiquette1.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="260" /></a></p>
<p>Are you feeling a little toasty this holiday season? Would you love to be one of those people who can stand up at the drop of a hat and offer a clever toast? Do you hold back because you aren&#8217;t sure what to say or do you resist the urge because you aren&#8217;t sure of the correct protocol?</p>
<p>Few people seem to hold back for fear of committing a faux pas. Nevertheless there are rules regarding toasting and if you want to be the polished professional at the office party or the business dinner, here are a few pointers on the correct way to perform a toast:</p>
<p>The host should always be the one to start the process. Before beginning it is that person&#8217;s responsibility to make sure that everyone&#8217;s glass is full. After the host has offered a toast, others may follow suit.</p>
<p>Toasts should be short, simple and sincere. The five-page poem that covers the honoree&#8217;s entire life up to that point is more appreciated by the one who wrote it rather than those who have to listen to it.</p>
<p>If the group is large, it is not necessary to clink glasses when a toast is made. Instead, just raise your glass and take a sip. If the group is small and you wish to touch glasses, look the other person in the eye when you do.</p>
<p>Use proper toasting etiquette. Sipping is safer than guzzling, especially if the toasting is going to be extensive.</p>
<p>Gentle is better than hearty when it comes to clinking. You don&#8217;t want to be remembered as the one who smashed the glass and bathed everyone around you in red wine.</p>
<p>When you are finished, use a concluding phrase like &#8220;Here&#8217;s to?&#8221; or offer a phrase such as &#8220;Cheers.&#8221;</p>
<p>The recipient of the toast never drinks or raises a glass. Doing so is somewhat like patting yourself on the back. Instead, the person being toasted may rise following the toast and respond with a word of thanks or by offering another toast. There is no need to stand unless the recipient would like to say a few words in return.</p>
<p>Although it is traditional, alcohol is not necessary to perform the toast. Sparkling water, plain water or any other beverage may be used.</p>
<p>Finally if you want to avoid becoming tipsy while toasting, raise the glass to your lips, but don&#8217;t drink. No one is watching to see if you are actually swallowing.</p>
<p>There are many occasions where a toast is appropriate including weddings, anniversaries, christenings, birthdays, reunions or for the birth of a child.  If you know you will be attending one of these special occasions then you should prepare your toast in advance.  Write it down, keep it brief and practice until you feel confident.  Be sure to speak slowly and loud enough for all guests to hear.  Start by stating the name of the honoree and your relationship to him or her.  Offer a witty and memorable toast and you will be a sought after guest for all social occasions.</p>
<p>“No toast except his own should last longer than 60 seconds.”<br />

<p>This fiction book is fascinating and I suspect most girls (including you!) will enjoy the journey Yndico takes when she accidentally slips into a dimension where past, present and future merge simultaneously.<span><span> Yndico&#8217;s adventures are intertwined with philosophical and everyday life themes to evoke critical thinking, discussions and dialogue.</span></span></p>
<p>Summer time is the ideal time for such a unique read!</p>
<p>Sandra Olajide&#8217;s bio is almost as interesting as her new book&#8230; she is an internationally celebrated  singer songwriter that has performed on evry continent for Heads of State. Royalty and world leaders. Sandra is married, has two children, and lives in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Visit her Website, <a title="Yndico Is" href="http://yndicois.com" target="_blank">YndicoIs</a> to get a better sense for what&#8217;s in store for the reader.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://savingsangel.com/amember/go.php?r=26120&amp;i=l8"><img class="size-full wp-image-397 alignleft" style="margin: 5px 6px;" title="Savings Angel" src="http://www.momz.com/images/SavingsAngel.jpg" alt="Savings Angel" width="296" height="178" /></a>I recommend <a title="Savings Angel" href="http://savingsangel.com/amember/go.php?r=26120&amp;i=l8" target="_blank">Savings Angel</a> if they&#8217;re available in your area. I was skeptical and didn&#8217;t sign up for some time, but after reading some of the deals offered in their weekly email I took advantage of their 30-day trial period. It pays for itself and more. (A list of the metro areas they&#8217;re operating in is at the bottom of this post.)</p>
<p><strong>What is Savings Angel?</strong></p>
<p>1. Savings Angel takes local advertised grocery &amp; household good prices and places them in a searchable database. They do this weekly. More importantly they do this for each area they&#8217;re currently operating in so the offers are from stores in<em> your</em> immediate area! They do not &#8220;mash&#8221; all cities together.</p>
<p>There are big differences between        stores and coupons in different cities. Their city-centric approach gives you more accurate information for your hometown and increases your success.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t bombard their members with endless ads, spam, or surveys in the hopes of revealing some kind of &#8220;special coupon.&#8221; Their approach is more like that of &#8220;consumer reports&#8221;. They run no ads on their Website and abhor spam as much as I do. They really are on a mission of save members the most money possible.</p>
<p>Each week they compile over 1,500+ databases of coupons that can be used on each advertised item, adding this information (along with the coupon location) to the data.*  Together, this information allows you to shop for items you normally buy, but at the best possible savings.</p>
<p>* You&#8217;ll be regularly alerted to special &#8220;deals&#8221; and purchase/coupon combinations that make quality products very inexpensive or even free! You&#8217;ll be in shock of how inexpensively you can feed your family!</p>
<p>They spend what might take you 30-40 hours each week compiling manufacturer coupons &amp;      rebates with store sales &#8211; matching them up to scientifically &#8211; giving you the shopping pattern that will result in the lowest monthly grocery bill. We call this &#8220;Enlightened Shopping.&#8221; Most members report being able to cut their monthly grocery bill in half &#8211; especially after about six weeks of &#8220;building up supplies.&#8221;</p>
<p>They also provide education and training on creating more abundance in your life &#8211; including education on better shopping, saving, and giving. Would you believe that it can actually be FUN to move forward financially?</p>
<p>If they are in your area please visit their Website to learn more. Just click on the image or your city below.</p>
<p>Happy savings mom!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have 5 prizes to award including; One (1) Grand Prize winner and four (4) First Prize winners. But first, a few words about this great new baby book, BABY SIGNS.</p>
<p>BABY  SIGNS is based on American Sign Language and will help encourage the use of  non-verbal gestures to communicate. Research has proven that babies who are  taught to use signs to express their basic ideas before they can say words are  happier because they can communicate with  others.</p>
<p><a href="http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/book.jsp?id=1275492"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-393" title="Baby Signs" src="http://www.momz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Baby-Signs-_Cover-Art-300x300.jpg" alt="Baby Signs" width="286" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>For more information visit: <a title="Baby Signs" href="http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/book.jsp?id=1275492" target="_blank"><strong>BABY SIGNS</strong><br />
</a></p>
<p>One <strong>Grand Prize winner</strong> will receive:</p>
<ul>
<li>A Copy of the <strong>Baby Signs</strong> Pop-Up book ($25.99 value)</li>
<li>$50 Babies &#8216;R Us Gift Card</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-392" title="Babies 'R Us" src="http://www.momz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/babies-r-us_lg.jpg" alt="Babies 'R Us" width="153" height="97" /></p>
<p><strong>Four First Prize winners</strong> will receive:</p>
<ul>
<li>A Copy of the <strong>Baby Signs</strong> Pop-Up book ($25.99 value)</li>
</ul>
<p>To enter simply add a comment. You don&#8217;t have to say anything nice about the book or anything bogus like that. Just comment that you want to enter and we&#8217;ll include you in our random drawing at the end of July. Winners will be posted on our site, emailed, and the prizes shipped in early August.</p>
<p>Of course if you win and want to send a pic or two of your baby reading BABY SIGNS that would be wonderful!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

They now have 8 daughters and 10 sons and dad says &#8220;We both would love to have more&#8221;. Clearly they have mastered the art of having a lot of children and raising them in an orderly fashion. And not that it matters, but they are also debt-free.</p>
<p>How do they do it? They will share that with you in their book and their new TV show on The Learning Channel.</p>
<p><span id="more-296"></span></p>
<p>The deeply religious Duggar family has not avoided the inevitable spotlight having 17 kids might bring. In fact they are right at home (literally) with the cameras and spotlights on them. In October of this year they had a new TV series launch. The show, “<a title="17 Kids and Counting TV Show" href="http://health.discovery.com/convergence/duggars/duggarfamily.html" target="_blank">17 Kids &amp; Counting</a>!”, is all about their family and airs on The Learning Channel.</p>
<p>There is of course a family Website with tons of pics and other family information. They even offer a book about their family. You will find it here &#8211; <a title="Duggar Family" href="http://www.duggarfamily.com/" target="_blank">Duggar Family Website<br />
</a></p>
<p>If you are looking for recipes that will satisfy a large family without breaking the bank why not check out the Duggar Family recipes? Clearly they&#8217;ve had to learn how to feed a big family on a budget! &#8211; <strong><a title="Duggar Family Recipes" href="http://www.duggarfamily.com/recipes.html" target="_blank">Duggar Family recipes</a></strong></p>
<p>And be sure to try your hand at the &#8216;<strong><a title="Name That Duggar game" href="http://health.discovery.com/tv/duggars/duggar-game.html" target="_blank">Name That Duggar</a></strong>&#8216; game! An actual online game created to test your skills at recalling the names of their 17 (and now 18) children. LOL!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Tech  Support,</strong></p>
<p>Last year I  upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0  uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL  3.0, and Ipod with headphones 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I  do?</p>
<p>Signed,</p>
<p><strong>DESPERATE</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" title="Perfect Husband" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/Ry8rGSpHHXI/AAAAAAAAKMc/MUCa8hNA4WI/s400/husbands_year_006.jpg" alt="" width="247" height="332" /></p>
<p><strong>DEAR  DESPERATE,</strong><em></em></p>
<p>First, keep in  mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an  operating system. Please enter command:  ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to  download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the  above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, <em>DO NOT</em> under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.) In addition, please  do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.</p>
<p>In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to  improve memory and performance. We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie  7.7.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Nice Husband" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/Ry8pcipHHWI/AAAAAAAAKMU/qdy9vdWKY6c/s400/husbands_year_001.jpg" alt="" width="338" height="338" /></p>
