Tai Chi Can
Ease Pain




Tai chi is technically one of the martial arts, but its emphasis on slow, fluid movement seems also to be effective against chronic back pain.
Tai Chi is one of a number of mind-body techniques, such as meditation and yoga, that are increasingly prescribed for chronic pain. The Tai Chi exercise programs, or sets, are like slow dances, emphasizing graceful, gentle, but continuous, movement. Proponents of Tai Chi have long claimed their practice reduces stress, depression, and anxiety while increasing strength, balance and flexibility. According to Pain Medicine, studies show that meditation and Tai Chi improved functioning in older adults with chronic low back pain. Researchers reported that Tai Chi's mind-body interaction is effective and safe.

New FICO Score
Fair Isaac Corporation, maker of the FICO credit score used by 90 percent of banks, says its new scores will do a better job at predicting which borrowers will default on a loan.
The “New Fico” will be more forgiving of the occasional late payment but will take a harder line on repeat offenders. They predict that the new system will reduce default rates by 5 percent to 15 percent.

Have A Divorce Party
Whether you're cheering for progress after your divorce or feeling a little down, a new type event could be just right for you. The divorce party. The editors of Red Book say these gatherings celebrate a new chapter in a person's life. It helps new singles re-establish connections with others, meet new people, and just have some fun now that the divorce is over. It’s important to create new memories by getting involved with new activities and new people. Try something different like dancing, tennis, bowling, art or Tai Chi

Landscaping Question Corner…


Q.        I want a vegetable garden but don’t have a lot of space. What vegetables grow well in containers?

A.There are actually a number of edibles that can be grown in a container so you’ll have plenty of varieties to choose from.

Tomatoes grow really well in any container that’s at least 6 inches deep, however remember the bigger the pot, the bigger your plant (and its fruits) will be. In addition, any viney plant should have some sort of “stake” or cage to help support the weight of the branches. Also consider those space saving, upside down containers for your tomatoes that work very well. Spinach, beans and peppers - both bell and jalapeno - are also good choices for container gardens as are broccoli, beets, cabbage and carrots.

Different vegetables have different growth requirements so be sure to read the instructions on the back of your seed packet. Corn for example does better if sown directly into the soil while tomato plants do well when transplanted from a smaller pot. I prefer buying the small plants to get a jump start on the season!
