To know how to cure wrinkles, we first have to know the causes. Wrinkles naturally occur first on the face, which is quite disturbing, especially for women. Every woman wants to look best and be confident about herself, and it's just normal for them to be conscious about this. But it can be bothersome to men too. Who want to see the signs of aging, stress and tension appear on his/her face? Though wrinkles can also be found on the neck, hands and forearms, it is common to take action on the face first, which is the most recognizable part.
Wrinkles usually happen when we get older because our skin naturally loses its elasticity and its natural ability to produce collagen and repair damage as we age. But that doesn't mean that we should care less when we're young. Even at a young age, signs of aging can occur and be obvious on one's appearance; and this is called premature skin-aging and is caused by different factors such as unhealthy eating habits, smoking, too much alcohol and too much exposure to sunlight. We can prevent wrinkles by using creams that have anti-aging properties.
Aging and having wrinkles or folds in a person's skin are inevitable, since we also live in a world where we encounter environmental pollutants, emotional and outside stress, and the ever-changing environmental conditions. But we can lessen or minimize its occurrence and combat its early signs. We just have to be able to detect its early signs and change our bad habits into good ones. We have to do something about the factors I've mentioned above.
The best solutions are actually and ironically the easiest ones. Eating naturally healthy foods, changing our emotions into more positive ones to avoid tension and deep wrinkling on our face, avoiding stress, exercise and shielding yourself from the harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen before you go out and staying indoors when it's around 10 A.M. to 3 P.M. are just easy things to do, which come with a habit. In the long run, these things will create an impact on how we look.
How we look reminds us how we lived our life. Our face is actually a good reflection on how we took care of our health emotionally and physically. Are we responsible enough? But sometimes, we can not take the full blame on ourselves, especially when we know that some outside factors, say environmental pollutions, are inevitable. And some are even more prone to wrinkles because of genetic factors, and those who have lighter complexion tend to have a thinner covering, which means more prone to wrinkling, so they have to be extra careful.
Numerous beauty products, anti-wrinkling/anti-aging creams are available in the market. Those that are clinically proven to be effective and possess the essential ingredients to battle against skin aging like wrinkles are undeniably helpful. But we cannot blame these beauty products when we do not get the perfect results. They may help a lot, but still, you have to do your part to take care of your skin well. Like many helpful, natural ways, beauty products such as this are only a part of taking proper care of your skin to the fullest.

Reflecting upon the near 40-year legacy of HALLOWEEN, it's so strange to see all the places the franchise could have gone. Where would Michael Myers go had John Carpenter not retconned Laurie Strode's lineage in PART II? Would we have even seen Michael again had HALLOWEEN III been a financial success? What would HALLOWEEN VII had been if Dimension pursued their SILENCE OF THE LAMBS-esque concept instead? And what if Rob Zombie turned down the opportunity to reboot the franchise a little over a decade ago?Read more »

FANGO Flashback: "MAGIC"Fearful Features,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
For a genre so incestuous in terms of producers, directors and shared talent, it's always interesting to see a prestigious outsider dip their toes into horror. Whether it's Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme or other award-winning filmmakers who aren't strictly tied to scare fare, there's a certain fascination (and financial accommodation) that comes to their genre output that can't necessarily be associated with those from whom horror hounds know what to expect. And furthermore, even if they do turn in something somewhat familiar to the genre, you can always expect top tier performances, executions and narrative flourishes that remind the audience exactly why tropes were scary in the first place, with few better examples than Richard Attenborough's exceptionally creepy MAGIC.Read more »
Stream to Scream: "SALEM: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON"Fearful Features,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
When it comes to horror television, there seems to be a certain expectation in terms of what audience you're gunning for. For fans of more serious scare fare, THE WALKING DEAD and PENNY DREADFUL have spawned many grounded, unabashedly bleak TV series of the same vein. Meanwhile, less serious series such as AMERICAN HORROR STORY and ASH VS. EVIL DEAD offer more humor and general bloodshed than its counterparts. And then there's the horror shows of network television, most of which offer the genre elements as a framing device around melodramatic, angst-driven romance stories and cheeky humor.Read more »
The Dreadful Ten: Top 10 Horror Films We Hope You See in 2016!Fearful Features,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
2016 is so close, we can taste it in the air. And with one year of horror behind us, a brand new year of horror awaits to descend upon us. While there are many different types of horror to expect- festival favorites, studio scare fare and eerie independent releases- there are many innovative, fantastic horror offerings that have yet to secure distribution while purveying the festival circuit. So for this week's Dreadful Ten, FANGORIA recaps some of the best fright films we encountered over the past year whose 2016 remains uncertain, though we certainly hope you get the chance to see 'em for yourself!Read more »
The Year in Horror, 2015: Ken's Top 10 Movie Death Scenes!Fearful Features,Home,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
While 2015 has been the host to many macabre moments, there's little denying that this year certainly one-upped 2014 in terms of brutality in the cinema. Though Hollywood offered more bloodletting than the haunting-heavy year previous, independent scare fare raised the bar with amazing, head-spinning gore and guts. And with death on the brain (and spoiler warning on high alert), FANGORIA recounts the top ten most memorable death scenes of 2015!Read more »

As the landscape continues to grow in a promising direction, there's no denying that 2015 marked a banner year for horror television. While PENNY DREADFUL and SALEM offered some of the strongest sophomore seasons in recent memories, many other pieces of serialized scare fare proved that they not only still have gas, but are breaking new ground in the process. And with 2015 nearly in our rearview, FANGORIA has decided to catalog our favorite offerings from televised terror titles from the past year…Read more »

Stream to Scream: "PROXY"Fearful Features,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
If there's anything that can definitively be said about a horror film like PROXY, it would be that the film is not for everyone. For those who appreciate more scare-based, supernatural outings, PROXY is not the film for you, and will likely test your threshold for transgressive content. On the flip side of the coin, those whose horror obsession filters down to chasing the dragon that is shocking content, PROXY might be a bit too far into the contemplative, artistic side for those merely expecting bloody viscera. However, for those whom PROXY does latch its claws onto, the film is a mesmerizing, poetic experience that few films can rival, provoking ideological thoughts and a jaw-dropping narrative that you otherwise might not find in even the majority of independent fright fare.Read more »
FANGO Flashback: "BUBBA HO-TEP"Fearful Features,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
One of the most common complaints this writer hears from hardcore horrorheads is that contemporary scare fare lacks the heart of their predecessors. While there's always been mean, merciless horror throughout the years, especially those caught in the crossfire of the slasher booms, there is a fair amount of truth to that sentiment. Though that doesn't mean there aren't impressively crafted or genuinely terrifying horror offerings nowadays, the organic sense of adventure, character and justice is much less common these days as opposed to the fright films of the '80s and '90s. Yet perhaps that makes modern horror with that old school heart and soul much more valuable to die-hard fans, which in turn crafts a specific legacy from which a film can gain a second life.Read more »

The Year in Horror, 2015: Ken's Top 10 Horror Films!Fearful Features,Home,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
Make no mistake: 2015 was the year of horror television. Between stellar seasons of PENNY DREADFUL, SALEM, ASH VS. EVIL DEAD, HANNIBAL and THE WALKING DEAD, there was no place scarier or more fun than the small screen. When you add in the impressive terror titles making their way to high definition this year, the big screen fare of 2015 felt unfortunately like an afterthought. Nevertheless, 2015 did offer a respectable amount of haunting fright fare in the cinemas, much of which still sticks with this writer to this day.Read more »

Sermons in Stones
By Susan Cheever;
Published: April 30, 1995
IN SEARCH OF STONES A Pilgrimage of Faith, Reason, and Discovery. By M. Scott Peck. Illustrated. 422 pp. New York: Hyperion.
DURING a 1992 driving trip with his wife through England, Wales and Scotland, M. Scott Peck became obsessed with megalithic stones -- boulders arranged and carved by mysterious civilizations thousands of years ago. In three weeks, Dr. Peck -- the psychiatrist who brought a spiritual dimension to his profession through his best-selling guides to the moral wilderness that is the modern life -- and Lily, his wife, visited more than 30 sites, from the dolmen behind Long House Farm in the Welsh marshes near Abercastle to the great stones of Callanish marching across the bleak landscape of the Outer Hebrides.
But it is inner landscapes that are Dr. Peck's true obsession, and his fascinating travelogue of stones from the ancient world is interspersed with personal journals -- a detailed and endearingly honest trip through the life and mind of a successful 56-year-old white male at the end of the 20th century. This book is "probably the closest thing to an autobiography I will ever write," he confides, one of many amazing confidences that include a description of his sexual infidelities in 30 years of marriage; his occasional feeling that because he is a best-selling author -- of "The Road Less Traveled" and "The Different Drum," among others -- and lecturer, everyone wants a piece of him; the problems in his search for God; and his confused drinking and smoking in spite of admonitions from doctors and friends.
The book begins in Paddington Station, as the Pecks wait for the train to Cornwall. The next day, their search along the coast of Wales for what their guidebook calls a prehistoric burial chamber leads them to Long House Farm: "Slipping and sliding on the manure, as soon as we walked through the gate we saw it a hundred yards into the field, silhouetted against a broad bay in the distance: a tight cluster of six standing stones seven feet high with a huge boulder magically balanced on their tips. . . . For us it was a moment of epiphany." Their romance with the stones deepens as they travel.
Dr. Peck interweaves the stones with milestones from his own development in chapters with titles like "Reason," "Romance" and "Despair." Sometimes he speaks as a middle-aged American, sometimes as a Bible-thumping preacher expatiating on the story of Abraham and Isaac, sometimes as just another suffering empty-nester. Near Penrith on the Scottish border, the Pecks drive through a maze of isolated lanes to see the stone circle and the large stone -- a menhir -- called Long Meg and Her Daughters. From Long Meg, Dr. Peck launches into an anguished discussion of his own life as a child -- his father was a successful lawyer -- and as a father of three grown children, about whom he complains. "We'd had the fantasy that . . . our role . . . would easily evolve from caretakers to that of comfortable friends. Instead, in their presence, we feel we must walk on eggs. . . . Now they don't want our caring. . . . They want our admiration and gifts and money, but they don't want us."
AS the Pecks take the ferry into the Outer Hebrides, Dr. Peck muses on his other adventures, from his quitting prep school at Exeter when he was 15 to his involvement in two cases of demonic possession. He tells about visiting one of his mentors, an evangelist in Montgomery, Ala., who once told him that in her opinion the greatest sin would be to bore God. "I think that when humans are feeling significantly bored for a substantial period of time," Dr. Peck agrees, "it is probable that we are also boring God. Such boredom is a sign that we need to change, that it's time to move on, time for another adventure." By the time the Pecks finally reach Edinburgh three weeks later, their adventure is over. His back is in spasm from the seats of their rented car and he takes some Percodan in order to survive the long trip home to his farmhouse in Connecticut.
This book could stand on its own as a discussion of megalithic stones, but it becomes a vivid life story in Dr. Peck's telling, an engrossing mixture of travelogue and sermon. One of M. Scott Peck's gifts is a tremendous natural authority; I found myself nodding in agreement with him even when I disagreed. He has found the ideal counterpoint to his own restless heart in the stability of stones in this story. It will certainly not bore God.

Rita, truly a wonderful way to start the day. Since I have first made this tasty treat, I have had it almost everyday. It is so quick and easy to make and it tastes excellent. I always have LOL hot cocoa on hand, the raspberry is my personal favorite, which I always save for last. So glad that I did. I can't thank you enough for sharing this quick and easy to make treat. I shared it with my neighbors yesterday, picky ladies that they are...Loved it...Made for the Winner of the Recipe of the Day Contest - Comfort Cafe Chalet 01/10 !
I also had a packet of this hot chocolate, so decided to try it this way. Glad I did! Delicious and easy! Great on a cold day after a hard day at work.
I love raspberry-flavored coffee and this was so easy and really hit the spot on a cold day.

Alex and I successfully gave blood at the Mount Pleasant donor center last night. There wasn't a sign-in sheet when we got there, but there is now. If you donate and there is no sign-in sheet for SHL (or even if there is, please let us know you did by posting here or on Facebook under the Blood Drive announcement so we have an accurate count. Thanks!

Please don't forget to check the hours that the donor centers are open for blood donations. Sometimes they are only open for apheresis (I think that's plasma collection only). It's not a bad idea to make an appointment. There is no code to enter. There will be a sign-in sheet at the center for SHL donors to sign.

Harsh, Open, and Compelling: Photos of the West
On the pages of many outdoor or hunting magazines, photos of the West show mostly places in the Rocky Mountains. As a boy in western New York, I spent hours reading those magazines and came to believe that the West and the Rockies were one in the same. I was 24 years old when I made my first trip west. At that time, I taught high school math, and when school ended in June, I packed some essentials on a motorcycle and headed out. Among other things, I learned that the West was more than the Rockies.

A Vermont Nature Story on the Lamoille River
Barbara and I are in Vermont for some weeks this winter, and last week we witnessed how an ice jam causes flooding during late winter rains, which then created a remarkable winter scene. The story occurred in north central Vermont on the Lamoille River, which is about 85 miles long and drains a watershed of roughly 700 square miles. The river begins in eastern Vermont and flows generally west into Lake Champlain.
Here's a short version of the story: Continue reading
Down East Maine in Winter
My wife and I recently took a short road trip through parts of Maine. Maine attracts visitors, mostly to the southern part of the coast and mostly in summer. The northern coast, northeast of Acadia National Park, attracts fewer visitors and is much less populated; this is the coastline of Down East Maine. In winter the roads are mostly empty, the coast is windy and solitude is available almost everywhere. Continue reading
Nature Is a State of Mind
In 2003, a year after I retired but when my wife was still working, I took Anna, our dog, and headed west to see some of the country I'd visited in times past. Anna and I camped most of the time, and one particular night I remember finding a small Bureau of Land Management campground on Antelope Reservoir in eastern Oregon. We could see a long way across the reservoir and surrounding desert landscape. I remember preparing dinner while Anna, sitting at the edge of the campsite, watched the landscape for signs of life.

Passive Investing: Seniors Near the Edge of Change
I recently taught a course to retirees on passive investing at the University of Georgia's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI).

They were not making much money, and they wanted to hear about a different approach. Continue reading
Death and New Life: Mary Ann and Harper Grace
Yesterday at 3:30 a.m. a dear friend in Alabama passed away from complications following surgery. We were neighbors for several years and our children grew up together. We shared many meals and laughs, helped each other when needed and worshipped together. We've lived apart for maybe 18 years now, but we have stayed in touch. Her loss is deeply felt by my wife and me. Rest in Peace, Mary Ann.
Mary Ann leaves her husband, Keith, and three sons, all of whom are grown and married. She and Keith were married for well over forty years, and he now faces a loss that will reverberate through his life for years to come.
Then at 6:30 a.m. in Vermont, one of our nieces bore her third daughter, Harper Grace, and everyone is doing well. We probably won't see Harper Grace until late fall or early winter. She joins her two sisters who are full of curiosity, hope and love, and her parents, Marc and Amy who are in middle life, devoted to work and family, and spending their own energy as if it were boundless. Welcome to our family and the world, Harper Grace. Continue reading

I booked a return flight from Bahrain to Kuala Lumpur via Doha with Qatar Airways (Dep 11Nov Ret 19Nov). This will my first long haul flight with Qatar AW and I am very much looking forward to it except that I was somewhat disappointed to hear their flights to Kuala Lumpur are operated by older Airbus A300-600Rs. I would presume that these A/C are not equipped with their latest PTVs found in their newer Airbus A330s.
Anyone knows if their recent delivery of the Airbus A330-300 will pave the way for the KL service A300-600 replacement with the A330-200? I would be delighted to see an A330 waiting at Doha to fly me to KL next week

51 mega pixels of Durgerdam
Durgerdam is a small Dutch village just outside Amsterdam and is a nice representation of what a Dutch village on a dyke looks like. Durgerdam is only about 7 km from the city centre and can be reached by car, bus or the best way by bike. There are only about 430 inhabitants but Durgerdam has some lovely restaurants.
This shot is actually 6 shots merged into one, I didn´t hold the camera horizontal but I shot the 6 shots vertically and merged them that way.

My name is Jackie Delgado. I am a Life Strategist, Light Grids© Therapist, Speaker, Facilitator and Mentor. I connect individuals and professionals with their authentic potential so they can design a meaningful life and career in an empowering way.
I help people to experience an easier life by working on their belief systems at root level. With my help, they shift into alignment with their deepest truths and are able to finally see their authentic higher selves and their brilliance.
I take my clients on an immersive journey that clears layers of past traumas, pain, fears, blocked emotions caused through life's experiences. It allows them to take back their power and responsibility leaving them free of programmes and fears that were blocking them from their fulllest potential.
Excellence is my average and I also bring that into my work. I am determined to get the desired results and will continue until we get there. I want my clients to feel safe and to have fun. I love to connect different worlds and my core values are: Authenticity, Clarity, Simplicity, Fun and Style.
My approach is from the heart, personal, intuitive, thoroughly, hands-on, challenging and at times confrontational. I can pinpoint the area where my clients are holding back, connect with it and shift it into transformational, lasting and life changing breakthroughs. This allows them to operate from a place of more power and energy and living their lives in a confident way.
So my question to you would be: are you ready on-board with me on a life-changing, transformative journey back to you?
With love,
'My life's work is about reaching my full potential and leading other people to do the same.'
