By Robin OBrien Qiviut (pronounced kiv-ee-ut) is the extremely fine underwool of muskox and is one of the finest and warmest fibers on earth. Qiviut is not easy to get hold of but muskox yarn is prized by many experienced knitters and spinners who appreciate its unique fiber properties such as fineness, warmth, softness and non-shrinkage. Muskoxen are native to Arctic regions in Alaska, Canada and Greenland. During the 1850s they were hunted to extinction in Alaska, however a small herd from Greenland was re-introduced and they are now flourishing. Each year, this remarkably tough animal grows a dense layer of Qiviut over its entire body, protected from wind and precipitation by an outer coat of dark brown guard hair. The fine, dense underwool helps insultate the muskox from tempratures that can go as low as -50F. Each Spring, the muskox naturally sheds it coat so, unlike sheep, no shearing is necesaary to remove the fiber. Because shedding is fairly synchronous, large fleecy sheets of Qiviut can be combed from the shoulder and flank areas of animals. Qiviut is a speciality yarn and isn’t widely available, however, if you make the effort you can get hold of Qiviut yarn from small specialist farms and suppliers in both Alaska and Canada. One such small family-run business is Windy Valley Muskox Yarn. The farm is located in the Matanuska River Valley of Alaska and the family specialize is producing Qiviut and other speciality yarns such as Suri Alpaca and Pima Cotton in a stunning array of natural and unique dyed colors. Characteristics of Muskox Yarn What makes muskox yarn so special? Well, it blooms beautifully, swelling and becoming softer and warmer the more it is handled. Both the Lace weights and the Fingering weights can be considered lace weights by most standards. The Sport weights can be considered fingering weights by most standards. Because muskox yarn blooms so well these fine weights can be worked on needles much larger than standard lace weight fibers. Also Qiviut yarn is incredibly soft it is non-irritating. However, before you consider using Qiviut yarn for your next project you should be aware that 100% Qiviut yarn tends to sag and it doesn’t retain its shape that way that wool does. The good news is that many producers of muskox yarn, such as Windy Valley Muskox Yarn, produce Qiviut/wool blends; so you get the softness of Qiviut with the elasticity of wool. Knitted items like scarves and shawls are ideal for 100% muskox yarn. Qiviut does not shrink; in fact Qiviut tends to stretch by up to 10% when washed. Garments made from muskox yarn is nothing new. Russian, American and European women brought their knitting skills with them to the far north and soon starting using yarn made from muskox underwool. The indigenous women of the far north, like the Inuvialuit, learned knitting skills from the new-comers, and today are some of the most accomplished knitters when it comes to making beautiful, handcrafted, hand-dyed garments made from muskox yarn. If you’re looking for a new type of yarn for your next knitting project maybe you could try using muskox yarn. Thanks to family run concerns like Windy Valley Muskox Yarn, Qiviut can be purchased throughout the United States and beyond. Once you feel the fineness and softness of muskox yarn, and what a pleasure it is to work with, you’ll be finding more excuses to use it for your future projects.

By Jean Neuhart Medusa, the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot, Jennifer Lopez as The Wedding Planner . . . What do these things have in common? Theyre all MYTHS! While being a myth doesnt keep people from seeking some of these out (well, maybe not Medusa . . . ) they often prevent couples from seeking out the assistance of a professional wedding planner. To help clarify and debunk some of these, here is a list of some of the more common misconceptions (and truths) of professional wedding planners (PWPs), aka wedding consultants, wedding coordinators, and bridal consultants. Consultants are expensive and only for the rich and famous.Like most people, much of what you know about a PWP is what you see on TV, the movies, and in magazines. Lavish celebrity weddings raise ratings and sell more copies but they are not the stuff of everyday real-life weddings. And the people who produce these weddings (Colin Cowie, Preston Bailey . . .) provide a very different service than your local PWP. The local PWP understands whats in their region — current trends, and all the great local vendors and resources. Also, most PWPs offer different levels of service, from basic hour-long sessions to full-service coordination and design, so you should be able to find something in your price range quite easily. My caterer also does wedding planning. Why not just use them to plan mine?A caterers (or florists, or djs, etc.) main job is to provide the service they are specifically trained and experienced in. While they are busy providing their service on a wedding day, how are they going to take care of any the other behind-the-scenes things? They just cant be in two places at once. Ive just booked my reception venue and they have a list of preferred vendors. Why should I pay someone for the same information?Because a PWP doesnt give the same information. The preferred vendor list provided by venues, caterers, etc. are often vendors who have paid to be on that list, and is not an indication of their style, pricing, availability, nor reputation. This very same list is given to all of the venues clients. On the other hand, the list of vendors provided by a PWP is tailored specifically for each bride & groom. You have your own specific style and desires, as well as budget, that you want for your wedding day. Wouldnt you rather have a list of available vendors that you know specialize in your desired style, and fit your budget? But I dont want someone to plan my wedding they way they think it should be.A PWP will take the time to find out exactly what you and your fianc want out of your wedding, how you envision your wedding day, how much you have and want to spend, and what your priorities are for your wedding. She will also take the time to get to know YOU. By doing so, then she can make referrals and suggestions based on your unique desires and dreams for your wedding day, and NOT some preconceived notion of what a wedding should be. She will help you plan your wedding the way YOU want it to be, not the way she thinks it should be, or (worse yet!) the way its always been done? Dont consultants take kickbacks from the vendors they refer?Absolutely not! It is unethical to accept kickbacks, finders fees, or whatever you want to call them. A PWPs main focus is on you, the bride and groom. She is looking out for your best interest, not her own, nor any other vendors. The ONLY exception is if the PWPs fees will be paid by the vendors and not by the client. Wont a consultant want to run the whole show?A PWP will work with you, handling as much or as little of your wedding as you want. After all, it is your wedding. The PWP is there to help you and your family make the day perfect. If you want her to, the PWP will run the whole show, but it is your show that she is running. Our church has a wedding coordinator. Why do I need someone else?The person at the church is usually only familiar with his/her aspect of the wedding — getting the bride down the aisle on time — not the complete planning process, and is primarily concerned with making sure the rules of their church are followed. Dont assume the church coordinator will help with any set-up, assist you and your bridal party while youre getting dressed, pass out and pin on boutonnieres and corsages, make sure everything and everyone is in place, or be able to fix any behind-the-scenes problems that may arise. I can find vendors straight out of the yellow pages. Why pay someone to do this for me?You can pick names from the yellow pages yourself. However, this is no indication of their style, price ranges, availability, or if the vendor is even reputable. Referrals provided by a PWP are not pulled out of the yellow pages, but from a data base of pre-qualified, reputable vendors who match a specific set of criteria that fits your wedding vision and budget. My friend (or sister) just got married, and her wedding was great. Why cant I use the same vendors?Of course you can use the same vendors, but do you really want to have your wedding just like someone else’s? My mom is helping me. Why hire someone when we can do it all?Using the services of a PWP does not prevent you and/or your mom from doing it all. Instead, with her training, experience and expertise, the PWP is on hand to assist and guide you through the entire wedding process, offering suitable suggestions and quickly remedying any problems, so no one ends up too stressed and too tired to enjoy the big day when it finally arrives. Wouldnt you rather look forward to and enjoy your wedding day than get so stressed out that you cant wait for it to be over with? Jean Neuhart is the owner of Weddings From The Heart . As a Professional Bridal Consultant, she helps busy brides and their fiances plan creative, personalized and stress-free weddings. Your questions and comments are always welcome.

By Steve Hill There are now many alternative and natural treatments to help people who suffer from headaches and migraines. In this article, I write about these type of remedies and also recommend the types of food people should avoid if they are always suffering from headaches and migraines. There are many causes of headaches including: Excessive amounts of alcohol Over eating An incorrect posture Too much stress Problems with teeth Problems with a person eyes It is important that we learn to deal with stress and to become more care-free. A lot of people react to stressful situations by turning to alcohol. This can only add to their problems and can lead to even more headaches. If the person drinks to excess they may wake up with a hangover. If this happens to you I would advise you to drink plenty of water as you are likely to be dehydrated. Vitamin C is also useful to remove the alcohol quicker from your body. If you are unable to live a stress-free life, it may be worth looking at alternative treatments. These are the types of natural therapy I would advise: Osteopathy Acupuncture Homeopathy Yoga Tai Chi The Alexander Technique There are also certain foods and drinks which are a must to avoid for people who have regular headaches. These include: Citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit Chocolate Cheese Alcohol Migraines Headaches are annoying enough, however migraines can be severely painful. I have suffered with migraines for a number of years and have now studied the subject seeking a cure. I am determined to not have to live my life, having these migraines regularly throughout the year, as the pain is unbearable. Maybe I am a bit of a wimp, but they really do cause me a lot of grief. There are a number of reasons or causes for migraines. These include bright lights, certain foods or loud noises. I have to say that I think my own migraines are caused by stress and anxiety. I have always been a worrier and have suffered with a low self-esteem for most of my life. There are many reasons for this lack of confidence, which I will not bore you with at this stage. I decided that I needed to deal with my stress as well as learning about how to eradicate the migraines. I am now able to relax and have accepted that no one person is perfect. I realise that I will make mistakes and as long as I learn from them, then that is OK. Worrying does not help me in any case therefore I have to stop doing it. I have also used alternative health therapies to help me to reduce my stress including: Herbal remedies Meditation Yoga Tai Chi I still have headaches as I have to admit that I do like to have a few beers around once a week. I have not however had a migraine for around nine months now. I am a lot happier in life and have learnt how to manage my levels of stress. I regularly meditate and use other natural remedies as mentioned above. This is what has helped me and I hope it helps you to.

By Joseph Kenny Been sucked in to the lure of a rewards credit card only to get burned in the end by high interest rates and a less than stellar return when it came time to cash in those points? Youre not alone. For credit card companies, acquiring customers is big business, and most cards today offer some kind of incentive for running up the charges on your plastic. If youre not careful, and use your card at will just to collect a few measly points, you could get stung. But by following a few simple rules, you can turn the tables on the credit cards companies and use that rewards card to your advantage. What to choose? Most likely, your mailbox is full of pre-approved offers for new and exciting credit cards. In fact, in 2005 over 6 billion unsolicited credit card applications were mailed. The average person received approximately 72 offers. If youre in the market for a new card, its important to weigh your options carefully. Most credit cards today offer some kind of rewards, but which one is right for you? Take a look at your lifestyle and spending habits. Would you benefit from a points-based rewards card, an air mileage card, or one that offers cash back on purchases? Points-based cards usually give you one point for every dollar charged. When you accumulate enough, the credit card company will usually have a shopping portal set up, where you can redeem your points on a variety of products (e.g., electronics, gas cards, travel, etc.). Problem is, most items in the catalogue are ludicrously overpriced, though its better than nothing. Air mileage cards offer great benefits to the frequent flier, but in todays airline industry, whos to say how much fees will be raised by the time youre ready to redeem? With cash back cards, theres most likely a set amount youll need to charge annually before you reap any benefits, so make sure you read the fine print before you sign up. Take Advantage Quite simply, offering incentive-laden cards are a way for credit card companies to get you to sign up. Rarely are the rewards worth the interest rates youll pay if you carry a monthly balance. But therein lies the rubpay off your credit card every month and put those rewards to work. Heres how: Charge as much as you can on your rewards card. We know, it goes against everything you were ever taught about using a credit card. Let us explain. If your collectors allow it, charge every bill you have to your credit card instead of using a debit card or writing a check. Then, pay that balance off immediately to avoid incurring an interest fee. Youll collect big rewards points fast, and itll be just like paying cash. Be disciplined about it though, even one month of letting those charges sit on your card can be a killer when the fee kicks in. Another idea: instead of having separate credit card accounts for you and your spouse, ask for an increase in your credit limit and a companion card for one account. The more you both swipe the plastic, the quicker youll accumulate rewards points. Off the beaten path As rewards cards have become more prevalent, credit card companies have come up with new incentives to make their cards more desirable to consumers. Many cards have a system that provides extra rewards points to customers who shop with certain vendors. Some will even offer coupons where you can save big shopping with certain companies while still earning extra points. It might take a little more effort, but it will certainly rack up the rewards points at a vigorous pace.

By Mike Linder By releasing the new Green Tea based product Enviga, my opinion is that Coca Cola and Nestle are liable to more harm than good in the cause of promoting Green Tea. They appear to be telling us all that by drinking a couple of cans a day (at $1.30 -$1.50 a time) we will benefit from Green Teas weight loss properties and the outcome will be slimmer, healthier person on the other side. The makers claim their drink has negative calories and this counterbalances the other calories you put in your body with your natural food intake. Well, the Centre for Science in the Public Interest is reported to have filed a false advertising suit against the two companies saying their claims are wrong. Am I personally surprised? NO! None of these companies realise that Green Tea is not now, and never has been, a quick fix for any of lifes ailments. Drinking Green Tea is a way of life. Its properties are indisputable. Its regeneration powers have been proven over thousands of years and if you drink regularly and over a consistently long period then many things which ail you will at least be helped or maybe prevented all together. Already newspapers, in the hunt for headlines, are coming out against Green tea. I recently read on headline which said Want to lose weight? Green Tea wont do it This headline was meant as a specific strike against the product Enviga but all people will remember in a couple of months is the bad publicity and they will associate it with all Green Tea products. The hijacking of Green Tea by major corporations as a quick fix was predictable considering the amount of good publicity Green Tea has had in the last few years, but my sincere hope is that in the chase for their profits they do not soil the good name of Green Tea, so that many future potential users do not come on board and start drinking this wonderful brew. It will be down to current users of Green Tea to keep using and promoting the benefits of Green Tea by word of mouth and keep the forward momentum of the use of Green Tea going strong.

By Marcela Devivo Property law falls into the common law legal system and concerns all aspects of ownership of ‘real’ property (land ownership as opposed to ownership of movable possessions) and personal property (movable possessions). The concept of property law has been around since the days of ancient Rome and the emperor Justinian’s Corpus Juris Civilis, which was concerned with dividing civil law into three categories: personal status, property and acquisition of property. The concept of property law as we know it today first evolved out of France’s feudal system and was the first successful implementation of such a law, called the Napoleonic Code, based on Justinian’s ideals. Thus property has gone from lying in the hands of the monarchs and feudal systems of the middle ages to total rights of the individual property owner. However, civil law to this day still distinguishes between property laws surrounding immovable possessions, like land, and property law concerning movable possessions, like clothes, cars, etc. Property laws today ensure that a person’s legal rights and obligations surrounding their property are protected. This is a branch of law where it is especially important to be informed in, because it directly affects people more than any other sector of the law. The numbers of lawyers in existence are many; however, don’t go to just any lawyer for any disputes regarding property. Property law is a specialized field that needs the skills of a solid professional who has previous experience in property law. There are numerous intricacies, loops and holes in property law and a property lawyer can help you navigate them easily and efficiently. Under property law fall a number of topics, such as the overlap of contract law and property law, property rights vs. personal rights, possession of property, transfer of property, leases and much more. Property law, then, seems to be a blanket term that applies to any number of topics and scenarios dealing with both movable, personal property rights and movable property rights.

By Adam Gaines You’ve waited for it, you’ve imagined it, you’ve planned it: your wedding day! The day when everything should be perfect and nothing should go wrong… but you fear for the worst and you are so worried not to miss something that you may actually forget to enjoy the day! Here are some tips that may help you put everything in order. The most important is to choose the date, to establish a budget and to try to stick to it. Do have an available marriage license for that day! Book in advance the church and the party site. Take your time to compare prices and offers and don’t be shy, try to negotiate. You and your partner will want to look astonishing on your big day, but remember that the suit, the wedding dress and the shoes should also be comfortable. And make sure you also have the rest of bride’s and bridegroom’s attire. Check carefully the guest list and make sure that everybody’s got an invitation. If you have some small children in your family (nieces, nephews, cousins) appoint them as flower girl and ring bearer. Don’t forget to choose the opening dance (it would be better to practice it a bit before - everybody will be watching you). Talk with the band/DJ about what are they planning to play. The music should be as various as possible, to meet almost everyone’s requirements. Talk to the photographer to take pictures with all your guests (not only with the family) and to catch unique and funny moments (they will make you smile latter). The vow moment is quite emotional! Practice your vows in front of a mirror, just to make sure you won’t get nervous when the moment comes. Choose carefully the flowers for the bride’s bouquet; they have to match with the colours of the bride’s gown and the groom’s suit. For the final check make sure that everybody knows their schedule and appointments (the hair stylist, the photographer, the flower and catering firm, the restaurant, the church, the band, the firm that makes the decorations). If you want to, you may give some small gifts to the guests (a picture of the lucky couple with a funny massage or a classical thanks for coming; a deco object; a piece from the wedding cake). And most importantly don’t forget to smile and be happy! Please visit http://www.HenWed.com for more wedding and hen night articles.
