Typography is the craft of endowing human language with a durable visual form, and thus with an independent existence. (...) Typography remains a source of true delight, true knowledge, true surprise.

50th Wedding Anniversary PhotoJean looks through the window to the birds flying in the sky and went quiet a few dogs on the beach. The day was good and he felt calm and happy to be there, the memories came back from recent days: if she knew that she loved John, had the same weather conditions and he, like a simple girl with an interesting face and long , light hair, we were to join him, a young bank manager. put on your skin like silk, when he saw her on the beach, and apart from shyness, he bought a box of chocolates – he says they are soft to touch, as he seems.
Their  ardent  fate  flourished and Jean murmured as she  bore in mind  vacations and picnics,  swimming in the same sea she was looking at now and  canoodling in the back row of the cinema. John never forgot  wedding anniversary and was  always  purchasing her  nice flowers and chocolates and leaving  some flowers on the bed – even after 50 years of  being together.
Her cheeks reddened as she remembered  some ardent moments –  caressing each other during an Opera performance;  fantastic dinners in Turkey and  comfortable days in hotel bedrooms when on holiday, scarcely leaving their room, so crazy they were about their passion.
A hand gently  met her hand and she looked up: here he was, her John, now 72 but still with  a twinkle in his eye. He knew her so well that he  straight away  knew what she was thinking.
“I know fun wasn’t it, old lady? You are still  the love of my life!”
Ah a romantic thought now she  identified they were too old and John couldn’t coped with his impotence. Erectile dysfunction – what a medical condition  identify something so  unhappy.
On the other hand John  had a surprise; he had been  evoking too, and had  discovered a website for generic Viagra and generic cialis on the Internet. He had placed an order some generic Viagra tablets, which  claimed they would be able to help him to obtain his former sexual capability. Right now, he had a pack of generic Viagra in his pocket and a  plan in his mind. A romantic  walk near the sea,  delicious banquet a relaxing walk and then home… where he intended to  lie their passion again.

Tips to Lower Cholesterol PhotoDo you have high cholesterol and need to lose it? This is not surprising, considering how many people who have high cholesterol today. This will help lower your cholesterol, here are 10 tips you can start today.

As with anything related to health, diet and exercise are two important components. What you eat is important to lower your cholesterol, so this is what is included.

One thing you should know is the difference between LDL and HDL cholesterol. Simply think of HDL as “healthy” and LDL as “lousy.” HDL can actually help carry cholesterol out of your blood vessels while LDL allows it to deposit inside your artery walls.

The good news is that you can change your cholesterol for the better. Here is how to do just that:

1. Have a nice sandwich on whole wheat bread or a pita with some lean turkey and lots of fresh veggies. Skip the hot dogs, bologna, and salami, and hold the Mayo. All of those are highly processed and filled with fat and cholesterol.

2. Fish, like salmon, is good. Look for wild red salmon varieties, which are very high in Omega-3 fatty acids (good fat.) Also, flax seed is a good source of Omega-3s.

3. Avoid Trans fats! Not only do they raise the lousy LDL cholesterol, they can also lower your HDL levels! Stay away from foods like margarine, shortening, and processed foods containing partially hydrogenated soybean oil.

4. Go ahead, go nuts! Look for walnuts mainly but also try almonds, macadamia nuts, cashews, and pecans. Nuts are high in fat, but it’s the good kind. (Also, use natural peanut butter instead of the normal kind which contains unhealthy Trans fats.)

5. Limit desserts and try to eat only the healthier ones like angel food cake, graham crackers, Jell-O, and fat-free frozen yogurt.

6. Eat foods that are high in fiber. Examples include whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and some cereals. (Look for the boxes that say “may help lower cholesterol.”)

7. Use the grill. If you’re going to have steak or burgers, grill them at home and use lean meat. This practice avoids the grease, is fun, and the meat tastes great.

8. Find a new salad dressing. Most of them are full of Trans fats and cholesterol. Olive oil is good, and maybe add vinegar or lemon juice. Also, skip the bacon bits, croutons, and egg yolks.

9. Go overboard on fruits and vegetables. They contain no cholesterol and they have lots of nutrients like antioxidants.

Here are some examples: green peas, broccoli, cauliflower, apples, oranges, mangos, papaya, pineapple, tomato, garlic, onions, spinach, water chestnuts, bananas, apricots, blueberries, and kiwi.

10. Avoid fast food like french fries and anything else from the deep fryer. Those foods will raise your cholesterol like crazy, so stay away from the burger joints if you can.

11. Bonus tip: Use spices like pepper and oregano to add flavor to your dishes. They are a healthy alternative to other toppings like Mayo.

That was easy, wasn’t it? Just make some of these changes and get plenty of exercise like walking, jogging, swimming, or playing basketball. You will have lower cholesterol in no time!
