A e There are many myths about the most e important aspect of a WEIGHT MANAGEMENT program. The single most important area is the approach that is taken to maintain your weight. That is why we would rather discuss managing your weight rather than weight loss. Too many times we hear about the same 20 or 50 pounds that have been lost several times by the same person. In order to consider weight management we must not only look at what you eat but your eating habits as well as the reasons that you eat other than hunger. What I am geiting at are the emotional reasons behind our eating behaviour. Often we resort to food as a comfort or a reward, these patterns can change! If we can MANAGE these areas then we can MANAGE OUR WEIGHT! When considering your weight management program remember our motto, "DON‘T JUST DO IT...DO IT RIGHT!" ®@ Is there a way I can have highlights without e suffering the pain and damage caused to my hair by a cap? ©® Yes. The cap method of streaking or frosting ® is now a totally outâ€"dated approach. Not only is it painful, damaging and inconsistent, but very restrictive in end result. We use a methodâ€"called weave highlighting which provides us with numerous areas of control â€" not provided by the cap â€" nor the pain, the technique requires us to weave out hair from a section then wrap it with the colour into a special packet called an Easiâ€" Meche paper protecting the coloured hair from the uncoloured hair. This gives us total control of where and, how many highlights we place on the head â€" varying from fine highlights that diffuse into the natural hair, to larger pieces of coloured hair that will show against the natural hair colour. Normally, 30% of the hair is highlighted. When it comes to the colour, the options are enormous, we often advise with blondes to use three tones of blonde where we could rotate the colours â€"as we work through the head acquiring a natural sunâ€"kissed look.

CLINIC Dr. Greg Thomson 581 Argus Road Telephone: 338â€"7227 _ M ®@ I‘m feeling fine other than the normal ® headache or neck stiffness. Why should I see a Chriropractor? $ e Somehow we, as a society, have come to e accept pain as being "normal". Pain is the signal that the brain gives off when there is a problem. The majority of people falsely tend to base their state of health on whether or not they are in pain. In fact, there is no correlation at all between the degree of pain and the extent of problem. It is very possible to have a serious underlying spinal problem and "feel fine". Chiropractors are highly skilled in detecting spinal misallignments even before pain or symptons set in. Just like the dentist who can detect cavities before you experience pain, the Chiropractor can detect spinal problems before symptons or disability eventually develop. I recommend to everyone that they receive regular Chiropractic spine checkâ€"ups in order to prevent progression of a problem, detect any abnormalilities or to maintain a healthy spine and nervous system. A e From a practical standpoint, more and e more consumers are coming to realize that in order to properly meet their many different visual needs, more than one pair of eyeâ€" glasses are required. From a fashion standpoint, I doubt anyone would limit themselves to owning only one suit and then wearing that same suit day in and day out for approximately two years, yet many people still do this where their eyeâ€"glasses are concerned without giving it a second thought. With todays vast array of frame styles, different colour treatments and advanced lens technology, gone are the days where eyeâ€"glasses served only as a medical necessity. Next time you notice someone with attractive, fashionable glasses, ask them how many they own and why. ® How many eyeâ€"glasses should a person @ have? Lily Crawford 175 Lakeshore Rd.

America‘s wealthiest billionaire investor, Warren Buffett says about investing and speculating. It is vitally important that we realize that nothing has basically changed "Restructuring" has already increased productivity. "The peace divident" continues to gather momentum as cut backs in defence spending permeate the economy, slowly but surely. The demographic shift from consumption to saving/investing still remains in tact. ilicgile- aged Canadians are still more financially knowledgeabe than previous generations. Interest rates are still eJZJected to be relatively low during the 1990‘s. Canadians still have to shoulder the responsibility for their financial future. Middleâ€"aged Canadians are still inheriting the largest transfer of wealth in history, a significant proportion of which will go into Mutual Funds. This will create more wealth and reduce dependence on government. As I have often said, only good businesses will stinulate our economy with profits, jobs and taxes, so own them. Referring to his investments in the businesses of Gillette and Coke, rather than "stocks", Warren Buffett pointed it out that from 1991 to 1993, Gillette and Coke increased their annual operating earnings per share by 38% and 37% respectively, but their market price moved only 11% and 6%. In other word, the companies over performed their stocks. Whatever the reason, what will count over time is the earnings performance of these companies. If they prosper, Berkshire (Buffett‘s awesome investment vehicle) will also prosper, though not in lock step manner. As you can imagine, Buffett treats short term market fluctuations with disdain. He views the correction as an opportunity for good professional managers to acquire more businesses that active traders always seem willing to give to patient investors. q o Assuming that this question is in the interest of prudent € A © Adding the brick will definitely add to the value of ® your home but not proportionately to the amount it will cost you. It is unlikely you would be able to recapture even half the cost of Bricking" it. There is nothing "wrong" with a vinyl siding, in fact a home with vinyl siding adds to the attractiveness of the locality where solid brick homes predominate. You will find that in many desirable communities in other areas of Canada and the U.S. brick homes are not the norm. Brick happens to be preferred "siding" in the southern part of Ontario. Don‘t let your "Friend" dampen your enthusiasm for your lovely new home. We have just purchased our first home â€" A superb raised bungalow which has a vinyl siding on the top level and brick on the lower level. We feel we got a fabulous deal on this home. Our friend who has bought and sold numerous properties has advised us to consider "Bricking" the upper level if we plan to sell at any time in the future as this would increase the value of our investment. Is it worth our while to put out this expense which would be approximately $20,000. WITH INTEREST RATES INCREASING, PEOPLE ARE WONDERING IS IT A BEAR OR...IS IT A BULL?
