| Article Title :: The Pink Kit Method for birthing betterâ„¢ goes well with
chiropractic care. |
| |
|
Common Knowledge Trust approached Jeanne Ohm, Executive
Coordinator of ICPA to write some articles about The Pink Kit
Method for birthing betterâ„¢ for ICPA. When asked what aspects of
childbirth, ICPA has concerns about, Jeanne wrote back 'We are
concerned about all aspects of birth--1) a woman's right to
choose 2) the importance of her being aware of her options 3)
the physiological relationship of pelvis and birth'.
For Common Knowledge Trust the goals are slightly different, yet
heading toward the same alignment ... more positive births and a
decrease in birth trauma for us, the mother and our children.
CKT's goals would sound like this 1) Absolutely all of us, as
expectant parents, m (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Birthdays - When You've Only Got One Hundred Years |
| |
|
In this article we're going to go over celebrating your 100th
birthday, taking a slightly humorous stance.
Let's face it, not many people live to be a hundred years old,
especially not in the United States where people are bombarded
by terrible air pollution, second hand smoke, asbestos, crime
and the relentless assault of Brady Bunch reruns. It's amazing
anyone lives beyond fifty.
But for the very lucky few who get to be a hundred, it is only
fitting that a special celebration should take place. Of course
there are a few things you need to be careful about when
planning a hundredth birthday for someone.
For starters, you have to be very careful when sending an
invitation to this person. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Birthdays - The First One |
| |
|
In this article we're going to discuss probably one of the most
important birthdays you'll celebrate, your first. Ironically,
you won't remember your first birthday. But your parents will.
So this article is more for them than for the birthday boy or
girl. A first birthday for your child is very special. For one
thing, he or she has made it through the first year of life on
earth. That in itself is an accomplishment since during your
first year you're pretty much dependent on your parents for
everything. So this particular birthday celebration should be a
special one.
For starters you (the parents, not the baby) should get really
nice invitations. A front cover of "Baby's First Birthday" i (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Birthdays - The Big 21 Part II |
| |
|
In this second part of our 21st birthday celebration we're going
to continue with our discussion of how to plan the event.
If you're going to have the party outside of your home then one
thing to keep in mind is if you want to have the party on a
Saturday then you better book in advance. Most venues fill up
their Saturday slots very fast and getting a Saturday date can
be difficult at best. Don't be too shocked if your date is
booked even one year in advance. If you're planning an evening
party, make sure there is enough room for your guests to dance.
Most places don't allow outside caterers. You are most likely
going to have to use theirs and they are not cheap. The biggest
cost will be (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Birthdays - The Big 21 Part I |
| |
|
In this article we're going to discuss what to do when you reach
the age where you become a legal adult.
Depending on where you live, that can either be 18 or 21. Most
people consider 21 to be the big day so we'll focus on that.
Reaching your 21st birthday is a big milestone. You're no longer
mommy and daddy's little boy or girl. You're a legal adult, like
it or not. Most kids actually look forward to this day and can't
wait to get out of the house and spread their wings. Of course
before they do that they'd like to have a party that really
signals the transition from child to adult.
One of the best ways to celebrate this birthday is to come to
the party dressed in what you wanted to be (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Birthdays - Sweet 16 |
| |
|
In this article we're going to discuss a birthday that is
probably one of the most important to your young adult, the
sweet 16. Even though once your daughter or son reaches the age
of 16 they are still technically children, they feel very grown
up and this day is very important to them so keep this in mind
when planning the big bash. Here are some tips to make the day
go as well as possible allowing for the raging hormones that are
bound to pop up during this time.
The first thing you need to do is sit down with your 16 year old
and ask him or her what they would like for their special day.
It is after all their day and they should have the kind of party
that they want, within reason of c (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Birthdays - Something Different To Do |
| |
|
In this article we're going to go over some things to do for
your kid's birthday that might be a little out of the ordinary
but certainly fun.
Let's face it, birthdays can get pretty dull after a while.
Unless you've got a great imagination they usually become the
same thing year after year, a party at home, or maybe the
bowling alley or pizza parlor, the usual games of pin the tail
on the donkey, and the usual birthday cake and presents, not
that there's anything wrong with that stuff. But how about
trying something a little off the wall for a change? What
follows are a few ideas that just might make that birthday party
a little different and certainly memorable.
One idea is to have a mu (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Birthdays - Getting A Birthday Gift |
| |
|
In this article we're going to solve one of the biggest problems
modern man can possibly face, finding the perfect birthday gift.
You would think finding a birthday gift for someone, especially
someone you know would be a piece of cake. Well, sometimes it's
easier just getting the cake. The present can be a real pain in
the neck, especially when you THINK you know someone.
It's better to be safe than sorry. The truth is, unless you are
absolutely sure of someone's interests, it is almost impossible
to pick out a perfect birthday gift that the recipient is going
to just go nuts over. So here are some simple rules of thumb
that should keep you from getting the look at death when handing

| Article Title :: Funerals - Eastern Star Service |
| |
|
In this article we're going to briefly discuss an offshoot of
the Masonic service, one for women called the Eastern Star
Funeral Service.
The Eastern Star organization is an offshoot of the Masons for
women. The reason for this is that a woman can't become a Mason.
The reasons why, at least for this article, are unimportant.
However, there is an organization for women who want to be a
part of the Masonic community. That organization is the Eastern
Star. The only requirement for becoming a member of the Eastern
Star is that the woman has to be the descendent of a Mason. Yes,
there is a catch. Your father or grandfather or husband or
somebody in your family has to be a Mason himself. If thi (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Funerals - Planning The Wake |
| |
|
People do expect a wake for some reason, particularly if they've
travelled some distance to be at a funeral.
The wake needs to be appropriate to the deceased and also to
those likely to attend the funeral. A few pounds behind the bar
at your local pub might be fine if Great Uncle George was a
regular there but might not go down so well if his one living
sister is a tea-totaller. In an instance like this, you may have
to have two wakes to satisfy everyone.
If you have a large enough house and can face the preparations,
you may want to invite everyone back to your place after the
funeral. This can be problematical as you have no idea how many
people will come, but if you are smart about th (read full article) |
