Title: You Know You Are A Candidate For LASIK


1
Prevent Suicide Now
There is a touching remembrance section on the
site. The first memorial on the "wall of angels"
is to a little girl aged 13 who was driven to
suicide by school bullies. I could hardly bear to
look at the photographs of the other beautiful,
bright children who became "angels" in their
teenage years. In the year 2002 in America a
total of 4,010 people below the age of 24
committed suicide. That equates to 11 young lives
destroyed each day. Suicide is the third leading
cause of death in the 15-24 age group.When it
comes to the Big Three of exercise -
cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training
- it's pretty clear which one can get overlooked.
After all, while we prize cardiovascular and
strength training for their role in helping us
lose weight, build muscle and get fit, the
benefits of flexibility training are less
immediately alluring.However, as the population
ages, more of us are learning to appreciate the
rewards of stretching.

Staying limber can offset age-related stiffness,
improve athletic performance, and optimize
functional movement in daily life. Research shows
that flexibility training can develop and
maintain range of motion and may help prevent and
treat injury. In fact, the American College of
Sports Medicine has added flexibility training to
its general exercise recommendations, advising
that stretching exercises for the major muscle
groups be performed two to three days per
week.How can you include an effective flexibility
workout in your fitness program? Here are some
guidelinesSuicide is a subject which most of us
would wish to avoid. We would rather not think
about it, let alone discuss it.

The ability to recognise the enemy would give us
a better chance of knowing when help should be
sought.Seeing the photographs of the young
suicide victims reminded me of two young women I
used to know but had not thought of for some
time. I was friends with both these women but
they never met each other. Their lives, however,
strangely paralleled each other for a while when
they reached the age of 25.A website called
Prevent Suicide Now.Com recently came to my
attention by chance. I almost sent it back into
cyber obscurity with a mouse click as it seemed
unlikely to be of any interest or use to me in my
carefree home business programme.My first thought
was that a website dedicated to suicide must be
macabre. However, a tour of the website revealed
that a great deal of loving work had gone into
its creation.

My friend Janet had been engaged for two years
and was looking forward to a traditional white
wedding. The wedding dress and cake had been made
and the big day was only two weeks in the future
when her fiancé abruptly broke off the
engagement. She was quietly devastated. Janet was
a warm person with a wonderful sense Thin From
Within Review of humour but she was not a pretty
girl - not ugly - just not a head turner and she
was rather shy. Being jilted shattered her
self-confidence and she suffered through several
lonely years before finding another boyfriend. He
treated her abysmally but she felt that it was
better to put up with his behaviour than to face
the loneliness of being single. By then Janet was
approaching the dreaded 30th birthday and felt
like everybody else in the world was married. I
was relieved when she finally found the courage
to end that relationship. http//enriqueiglesias.
