The Catholic Church...What would I do?

The church needs to change its focus back to the basics...Healing! and maybe even saving the world environment. Yes! Healing People and Healing the Environment. Priests have plenty of time to educate themselves on Holistic healing. They can then teach people how to heal themselves of their illnesses. They could work on projects that help clean and repair the environment. They need to preach love and happiness rather than sin and punishment. Maybe more people would actually decide to become priests again. I don't understand why priests can't marry. I don't remember but I believe that some of the original priests "the apostles" were married. If I were the Pope this would be my focus.

Avenue Q

One of the funniest Broadway shows I have ever seen is Avenue Q The Musical. You can find the lyrics to all the music which is really the screenplay here.

The transit strike has been really annoying to the rich New Yorkers and one of the most ignorant, inconsiderate things that one could do to all the poor hardworking people of New York City during the Holiday season. Many business owners rely on this season to bring in the bulk of their revenues for the year; luckily we don't, since we are busy almost everyday of the year. We have been kind of slow due to the strike, so some of us decided to go see Avenue Q. Luckily they had tickets available at the last minute. It was great, go see it. Also we ate at Joe Allen that was very good too. Use the following link to order tickets at great prices!

New York City Transit Strike

The Peter Louis Salon Is Open.
I Think the TWU is in a difficult Situation. I don't think the strike is wise and I don't think they realize why. Of course everyone deserves to make a living but, if the workers get a raise that the MTA can't really afford and the city and state budgets get affected due to the strike. The city and state officials and the MTA will probably do their best to Automate the whole system reducing the need for employees.

Hair Extensions at our NYC Salon

I am currently working to put some new hair extention pictures on the following weblog

http://hairextension.blogspot.com/ The transformations are amazing!

we use Great Lengths. Great Lengths' birthplace is London, one of the world´s fashion centres. David Gold, founder of Great Lengths, had set himself the goal to develop a hair extension system as simple to use as cutting or drying. When in 1991 he had developed and patented the Great Lengths principle he had simultaneously discovered the first method of thickening thin and fine hair in a very simple way.
This invention set off a revolution in 1991. For the first time David Gold could offer hair extensions and hair thickening in one system. Great Lengths has become a sign of our times: men - and particularly women - have started preferring non aggressive technical solutions and natural products.

In this context Great Lengths has also been one step ahead from the start: so far no other system has developed a similarly non compromising technique of attaching additional strands to the customer´s own hair. It goes without saying that only perfectly 100% natural highest quality human hair is used.

It is therefore no wonder that Great Lengths should have established itself on the worldwide market within a few years. Today top hairdressers in Great Britain, Italy, France, Austria, Germany, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the U. S. A., Canada, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, the Caribbean, Japan, Mexico and many more countries are offering Great Lengths with increasing success.

One of my clients recently told me she had all the hair on her body removed by Laser and she loves it. She said she had tried many systems and the one that worked best was a laser system by Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc.

Dating ... Love .... Marriage

I am Single and Dating again:( I hate being single, freedom is fun for a moment, but it is so much nicer to be with someone you really care about.

So many singles are looking for the BBD (Bigger Better Deal). The truth is there will always be the BBD. Some singles will try to read into things and make assumptions as to what their date is thinking, not a good idea. If you find a person who can be a good true friend and turns you on, stay with them, don't be afraid of the future, it may never come. Don't try and change them, work together to have a fun life. If your date spends almost all their free moments with you, don't sabotage your relationship by thinking your date is planning to cheat on you, just because he or she is nice to others. You will make your date self conscience about everyone he or she looks at or talks to. Be Confident. Confident is sexy! Don't let your past control you, release the mental baggage. Don't try to control the one you Love. Let them be.... the person you fell in Love with.

Make the BBD
If you Marry the right person, you can both achieve a much greater success. Marry the wrong person and your life will be a mess or.... for those of you who like drama a miserable hell>:-)

A Link to Better Health

A client of mine introduced me to this website, it is very interesting.

Since that landmark report from C. Everett Koop (and even before, depending on the circles you run in), Americans have been following one diet craze after another not only in an attempt to drop the excess baggage most of us are carrying around but also as a way to find our way back to good health. The result? We (as a country) are fatter than ever. And we're certainly no healthier.

The problem is that while diet is the key not only to slimness but also to overall health and well-being, it has to be a diet that properly balances our body chemistry. But each and every one of the diets Americans have tried— including not just the "average American diet" but also such supposedly healthful regimens as low-fat diets, the food pyramid, and vegetarianism—create wildly imbalanced body chemistry. Even if one way of eating does get rid of extra pounds (usually temporarily) or lower cholesterol levels or lessen digestive trouble for some people, it does not fulfill the promise of simple good health. We're so used to our modern medical machinery, in fact, that good health seems anything but simple. I'm here to tell you: It is simple.

Forget cholesterol counts. Forget calories and fat grams. Forget blood pressure, blood sugar, hormone levels, or any of the other markers of health you're used to at the doctor's office. It turns out that the single measurement most important to your health is the pH of your blood and tissues—how acidic or alkaline it is. Different areas of the body have different ideal pH levels, but blood pH is the most telling of all. Just as your body temperature is rigidly regulated, the blood must be kept in a very narrow pH range—mildly basic or alkaline. The body will go to great lengths to preserve that, including wreaking havoc on other tissues or systems.

The pH level of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. The entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline environment. Chronic overacidity corrodes body tissue, and if left unchecked will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. In other words, overacidity interferes with life itself. It is at the root of all sickness and disease.

If that's not enough to get you interested in balancing your body pH naturally, nondestructively, keep this in mind: Overacidity is also what's keeping you fat.

How I found a cure to my Asthma

In the early nineties, I moved to Arizona for a year, after 6 months I had asthma. I needed to use an inhaler 3 times a day. I heard of alternative cures so I tried a Chiropractor in Arizona, it didn't work. I decided to move back to NYC after living in Arizona for a year. Six months later my Asthma was getting worse and my regular doctor wanted to put me on oral steroids. I chose not to be medicated. I hate to take medication; sometimes I feel it a Doctors way to cop out of finding the cause of your Dis-ease. Just take this drug. ( The pharmaceutical sales rep who gives the doctor all kinds of freebies said it would work. Why not... take a pill and call me when you get more sick.)I don't think so. How could I be healthy and then all of a sudden be so sick, my body should be able to repair itself unless there is something causing this Dis-ease. Two weeks later I was involved in a car accident, I went to a physical therapist, they put these electrical patches on my back which would make the muscles twitch till they got tired and I felt no pain. That is completely wrong and a very dumb thing to do. So I decided to try a chiropractor and I met Dr. Stephen Simonetti after two weeks my asthma was gone. He adjusted my back differently than the guy in Arizona. I would feel energized after my adjustments. He said there was a blockage in the communication between my Lungs and Brain causing the Dis-ease. So he cleared it up. I haven't used an inhaler for 10 years! Thank you Dr. Simonetti!
