The Harley Medical Group Urges Patients Use Reputable Cosmetic Surgeon

The Harley Medical Group, leading cosmetic surgery provider, highlights the importance for patients do some homework and seek a reputable cosmetic surgeon in light of glamour girls’ 100 ops claim.

Self confessed cosmetic surgery addict, Alicia Douvall, hit UK screens as part of the ‘Rehab’ series on Living TV. The UK glamour girl has admitted to undergoing 100 cosmetic operations and is now seeking help at a Rehab clinic to confront her body dysmorphia which has resulted in an addiction to plastic surgery.

Alicia talked in depth about her numerous operations which led to British Surgeons barring her from having cosmetic surgery in the UK. The UKs leading cosmetic surgery provider, The Harley Medical Group has spoken out to say that these surgeons offered too little help too late to a clearly vulnerable patient who should not have been allowed to get into this position. The Harley Medical Group has stated that reputable cosmetic surgeons should always ensure that a responsibility to the patient is at the forefront of their minds. With this in mind the group has launched cosmetic surgery patient guidelines stressing the importance of seeking a reputable plastic surgery clinic.

To help prevent similar situations from occurring in the future, The Harley Medical Group urges patients that with thousands of surgeons operating across the UK it is important for them to do their homework before booking an operation, in order to ensure they receive the correct and most appropriate treatment and after care service with fully qualified medical practitioners.

Mort Fertel has a new step-by-step relationship changing system. It is not marriage counseling, but Marriage Fitness

The first step in entering the new world of Marriage Fitness is signing up for a free Email. This will get you started on saving your marriage. If either person in a relationship starts the learning process to getting their marriage back on track, once the other partner has rejoined the household (either mentally or physically or both), then they can integrate themselves into the stream of knowledge and start learning themselves. As a victorious couple, they can forge ahead in the relationship.

At Mort’s new site, couples will not have to endure weekly screaming and crying sessions with a counselor, and they will be able to utilize this new system which will show them, and you, how to save your marriage. One woman says her marriage seemed over but after starting Mort’s program and listening to his CDs, things really began to change for the better. Mort also runs a Marriage Fitness Tele-Boot-camp with seven live seminars. This is a real lifesaver (and money saved on gas, too) to those in a marriage who cannot get out of the house for long due to commitments or family or work responsibilities. People from all over the world have learned from these private TV sessions.

Either spouse may be sitting in a closet shouting out in frustration, “save my marriage!”. If you check out this new system, and it is very easy to do, you will start on the right path to calmer and more stress free life. Mort Fertel’s system can help couples or singles, and either way, this world renowned expert on relationships has a great thing going here. He offers a workbook and personal journal, fifteen CDs and a private one on one phone session, to help the process move forward. This is so different from a couple dragging themselves out to a marriage counselor, perhaps getting frustrated, and digging an even deeper hole in their marriage.

Even the name of his method, Marriage Fitness, evokes a healthier type of program than plain old counseling. The latter sounds like a naughty child being talked down to. We go to the gym to get our bodies in shape, why not “go to” marriage fitness for the health of our relationship? There is a short video an interested party or parties can watch online, and this will introduce the program, and Mort.

On the site you can rate your own relationship and get free advice, besides getting that Email advice. They will not sell any of your information. This is a secure and confidential method for getting help for your relationship and marriage. Mort has been seen frequently on TV networks and talk shows. Articles about his Marriage Fitness program have been published in many magazines and put into other media. You can rest assured that this program has been endorsed by a number of marriage counselors and therapists.

Many spouses have asked – “How do I know if I’ve married the right person?” Falling in love is a passive experience and can happen with no ripples in the stream that is a person’s life. After a few years of marriage, there has to be an active role played by both partners, to keep the marriage moving forward. If not, this lost marriage bond is gone forever. Since it’s a free start to all of this knowledge, starting is easy. It is a new breakthrough system able to help you with your relationship. Check out the site.

This is a unique creative system that has helped, and will help long into the future, couples committed to a long and fruitful, creative and loving, life and marriage. Viva La Revelucion! Let Marriage Fitness begin, and down with boredom, stress, loss of love and respect. Tune in to Mort’s website and get started with this unique help he has to offer for your life.

Monstermatch.co.uk can give the consumer a fair price and quality service the high street retailer cannot attain

Jonathan Keith, director of Monstermatch Ltd said…”The consumer often pays too much to keep their retailer in business with the overheads. Monstermatch.co.uk can give the consumer a fair price and quality service the high street retailer cannot attain.”

As the economic downturn takes its toll on the high-street, it may seem optimistic to start a new retail business. Yet this is precisely what Monstermatch.co.uk has done, confident that a market exists for high quality products sold at recession beating prices. Monstermatch.co.uk is an online retailer that sells iPods, laptops, and other hi-tech goods. It sells products at lower prices than consumers can get on the high-street and guarantees free delivery.

Far from suffering from the downturn, online retail has actually prospered. According to the IMRG Capgemini e-retail sales index, online spending increased by 16% last November compared to the previous year. This is likely to heighten competition for bargain prices during the coming year. Monstermatch, however, claims that it is not simply a bargain retailer, it wants to cement a relationship with its customers. For five pounds, a customer can buy a share in the company and enjoy special discounts. Monstermatch is hoping that this will encourage people to feel they have a stake in the retail experience and has offered to give customers a better deal if they can find cheaper prices elsewhere.

Jonathan Keith, director of Monstermatch Ltd said…”The consumer often pays too much to keep their retailer in business with the overheads. Monstermatch.co.uk can give the consumer a fair price and quality service the high street retailer cannot attain.”

Edward Palonek, The Founder Of Foundmoney.Com May Have A Temporary Solution For The Auto Industry

Tough economic times have the auto industry and society at large scrambling for answers. With little hope in the near future of a quick fix, car makers and hard working individuals are having to supplement their income and even their way of life. However, there is a glimmer of gold projecting through the dark shroud that has covered the American economy. This shiny centerpiece comes in the form of unclaimed money.

Edward Palonek, the founder of FoundMoney.com may have a temporary solution for the auto industry. With General Motors Corp. CEO Rick Wagoner saying that the automotive industry “needs a bridge to span the financial chasm that has opened up before us,” any solution is being heard.

With this sentiment in mind, Edward Palonek has uncovered money that appears to belong to Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. FoundMoney.com, which specializes in finding unclaimed money and assets, believes
that an estimated $7 million could belong to the Big Three in the auto industry.

These companies financial findings fall into what Palonek describes on his website as the “approximately $22 billions in unclaimed money and assets” currently being held by the government. While the automakers in the US are looking for money to stay afloat and save jobs, they are not collecting money that belongs to them.

FoundMoney.com connects American’s with their “unfound cash” with an average payout of around $900. When money and assets are willed to individuals, but never collected, the government holds on to the money. They also hold onto lost tax refunds, forgotten stocks, displaced payroll checks, and abandoned bank accounts. Not only do individuals have money being held by the government, but companies do as well.

Ford Motor Company has more than 1,300 records in the FoundMoney database that may belong to Ford. The amount for each record is not known, so it could be as much as $2.2 million.

Similarly, General Motor Company has more than 1,500 records while Chrysler has more than 1,200 in the database. That could lead to more than $3 million and $1.6 million in unclaimed funds respectively.

This amount of money would not be able to save the struggling companies, which need billions of dollars to stay operational. Talks of a government bailout for General Motor Company have risen to $4 billion to carry it through this month and $10 billion to bring it until the end of March.

It is still uncertain whether the government will pass a bill to approve a “bailout” of the auto industry. The bill would give the automakers the money necessary to continue operation. Without the bailout, the Big Three in the automobile industry would have to file for bankruptcy.

With the money that Palonek has found on FoundMoney.com, the Big Three could at least save some of the estimated 3 million jobs that reportedly could be lost during the next few months. The loss of these jobs would put more of a dent into an already dented economy.

As the economy continues its downward spiral, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Chrysler could take a suggestion from Edward Palonek and “find” some money. If the government won’t agree to a total bail out, they could at least claim what is rightfully theirs.

Prudential Lifetime Mortgage research finds that more than one in four Britons will head to parents or in-laws homes during the festive season

Prudential Lifetime Mortgage reports the traditional family Christmas is set for a comeback this year, with more than one on four (28 per cent) of British adults intending to spend Christmas day at parents, in-laws or relatives homes.

The findings, from new research conducted for Prudential Lifetime Mortgage, reveals that just one per cent of British adults intend going to a hotel or restaurant for Christmas day and just two per cent are going on holiday.

According to the Prudential, the family home is set to feature heavily in plans for the entire festive period with more than one in three British adults (37 per cent) intending to spend time over the festive period at their parents or in-laws homes. Of these people more than half (51 per cent) said they are going to parents/in-laws homes as they see it as a hub for the family to get together. 32 per cent said they like getting their Christmas meal cooked for them. 28 per cent said spending time at their parents/in laws homes makes Christmas feel more like a holiday and 22 per cent said going to their parents/in-laws home reminds them of their childhood.

For over a quarter of the nation the family home will be the Christmas venue of choice as people look to tighten their belts this Christmas. The findings reveal that 40 per cent of British adults say they will spend less on Christmas this year.

Keith Haggart, Director of Lifetime Mortgages, Prudential stated: “While it is inevitable that many people will be looking to cut back this Christmas, that doesn’t mean that Britain will be spending the festive period mired in gloom. Millions of people will be spending more time together as a family and for many that means going to their parents or in-laws to enjoy Christmas in the family home.

Keith Haggart continued, “The findings underline the emotional importance of the family home to the entire extended family and at a time when many households will be looking at ways to boost their income, downsizing is not only a challenging proposition in a flat housing market, but could also potentially remove the enjoyment experienced by the rest of the family when visiting the family home. An option is for people to explore whether an equity release plan could help them gain an income from their property while still being able to continue living in it.”

ICM interviewed a random sample of 1050 British adults aged 18+ from its online panel between 7th -9th November 2008. Surveys were conducted across the country and the results have been weighted to the profile of all British adults. ICM is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.
