Gustav Aniansson, Denise Hendry, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Botched cosmetic surgery op footballer's wife dies, Balanced Diet, Regular Exercise

Because I know a couple of women who have had successful liposuction procedures done in Sweden, I was shocked to read about the case of Denise Hendry and her untimely death as a result of such a procedure carried out by Swedish cosmetic surgeon Gustav Aniansson.

- Botched op footballer's wife dies..

- Ex-footballer Colin Hendry's wife dies after operation to repair botched cosmetic surgery

The procedure looks easy and safe but on further research I found information that speaks to the contrary:

- Liposuction - Is It Worth The Risk?..

- VIDEO..
It's graphic in case you're squeamish.

Note that the surgeon cannot see where the probe is penetrating.

Of course we all want to be beautiful and sexy but perhaps it's better to learn to eat properly and exercise regularly.

I can guarantee that walking is the best way to burn off fat and lose centimetres.

Walking uphill is a killer but the more you do it, the better condition you attain and the centimetres melt away.

The downside is that it takes patience to see results!

This can be frustrating but when the body starts feeling lighter and the skirts and pants start getting looser then you know your goal has been reached.

So my advice is to forget about liposuction and tummy tucks and get out your hiking/trekking poles and get moving cos time is a-wasting!

If you don't have trekking poles then invest in a pair. They are not expensive and well worth the money.

Michael Jackson: In Memoriam..'Man In The Mirror'..

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Am busy watching the memorial service for Michael Jackson.

I was never a fan of his crotch grabbing but there are a few songs of his that I really love.

One of these songs is 'Man In The Mirror' and this song has very special meaning today in a world gone mad.

I would like to ask all who happen to read this posting to read the lyrics with thought and start changing today.

Sad such a great entertainer has died so early because 50 is no age!

May he rest in peace and know that he always will be remembered for his gift of song and dance to the world.

I hope his children remain proud of him.

Smile

Tho' your heart is aching
Smile

Even tho' it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you

Smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining thru for you.

Light up your face with gladness

Hide ev'ry trace of sadness

Altho' a tear maybe ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile
What's the use of crying

You'll find that life is stillworth while

If you'll just smile.

Robert Riggan: Felony Murder/Colorado

The webpage I originally made for him was located at Geocities but this free part of the site will close in October 2009 and so the new address is at..

Evangelism: Religion and the US military, Fault Lines, God's Army, Fighting For Jesus Christ, Proselytizing, Religious Wars

Because I am a Believer and accept Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour, I read and accept the Bible as God's Rule Book for everyday living.

I have never had a problem with this and the Bible is as much a part of my life as breathing.

If I was in the army and reading my Bible and was asked to explain my reasons for being a Believer I would do so.

My aim is to share the Great News with anyone who is interested and, even though I live in a secular country, I do this when the opportunity crops up.

I do NOT, however, press anyone to believe what I believe because Jesus Christ never did so either.

He 'planted the seed' and if the hearer's heart was open, the seed grew and flourished or, alternatively, died.

We are told to be 'fishers of men'.

The United States is a deeply religious country.
More than 90 per cent of the population say they believe in (g)God and while 80 per cent profess to believe in miracles.

For the US military, dealing with its' own religious identity has become an internal battle.

Growing evidence points towards a rising influence of evangelical Christianity, and with two wars still raging in Muslim countries with significant religious overtones, there could be serious consequences for the US mission.

Neda Agha-Soltan:In Memoriam, 'Illegally' assassinated in Iran By Militia, Shirin Ebadi

I have been following the protests about the election 'scandal' in Iran.

I'm not sure what to believe but it does seem as if there is rivalry going on in the government and, as usual, innocent people are paying with their lives.

This page is a small dedication to an innocent young girl who lost her life in the violent demonstrations in Teheran over the weekend.

May she rest in peace and may her demise bring about the changes needed.

Because I am a Believer and try to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, I would ask other Believers to pray for positive change in Iran and other countries whose leaders kill in the name of 'God'.

The Burka: 'not a sign of religion, it is a sign of subservience' says Pres Sarkozy of France.

Today it was hot and I was sweating as I walked to the dentist to have a filling redone.

I passed a woman of the islamic faith and she too was sweating under a long garment of thickish dark brown material and a black head scarf.

I must admit that I was grateful not to be wearing the same attire.

While browsing through the various online news sites I read the following headlines..

- French women may face ban on head-to-toe Islamic dress..

The BBC articles put it this way:

- Sarkozy speaks out against burka..

- Sarkozy stirs French burka debate..

Either way I hope I never have to don such a dreadful disguise because I happen to have been borne female.

May common sense prevail in Europe even though Pres Obama seems alright with the complete 'cover up'. I wonder if his wife would want to wear one when she's out and about. I very seriously doubt it!
