GET IN SHAPE WITH TIME TO SPARE! By Nicki Casale are a great way to achieve and maintain flexibility, relieve pain, improve athletic performance or just unwind and relax. Sessions are performed by certified therapist, Cathleen Carlson. Since no one has quite figured out how to expand the number of hours in a day, we have to find a way to get in all of our “necessities” in 24 hours. By now, we all know that exercise is one of those necessities. Every day, we are pounded over and over again by media, family, co-workers, the local gym and even ourselves with that which we already know: For every aspect of well-being in our lives, regular exercise is a must. Hearing it over and over doesn’t give us more time to do it though. Dynamic Strength has a unique solution designed for people who want to feel and look healthy, but don’t have all the time that it regularly requires to get there. Look What Our Clients Are Saying: I had started exercise programs at home and at health clubs but always quit. I have now been going to Dynamic Strength for about a year and feel better with much more energy and fewer aches and pains. My “trick shoulder” has almost disappeared and I have lost about seventeen pounds of fat without dieting at all! So, if you want to wave your arms and legs around, pouring with sweat for little or no result, try something else! - Christopher S What if you could be the picture of health in only 40-minutes per week? Would you be able to commit that much time to yourself every week? At Dynamic Strength in Oak Brook Terrace, we use an exercise approach called Slow Motion Strength Training. Only two 20-minute sessions per week can greatly improve your strength, energy level, muscle tone, bone density, cardiovascular efficiency, metabolism, and fat loss. Slow Motion Strength Training involves very slow, deliberate movements monitored closely by a strength trainer. Moving the weights at this pace eliminates the “cheating” elements of momentum and acceleration. Your muscles are forced to do all the work, and do it more efficiently, and you will also feel the cardiovascular workout incorporated in this approach. In only 20 minutes, you get a full body work out! Because of this workout’s intensity and efficiency, you only need to complete two sessions per week to obtain maximum benefits. Our strength trainers guide and encourage you through 5-6 exercises which provide a thorough, total body workout. The exercises are conducted utilizing specialized medical rehabilitation machines, set to fit each person’s body frame to more precisely target and work that person’s muscles. People having difficulty exercising due to previous injuries or muscle strain can usually get great results training on this equipment using the slow-motion method. Dynamic Strength offers a work out experience that is very different from the “gym” atmosphere which can be distracting and sometimes intimidating. Our facility is private and quiet with no mirrors or music, allowing for total concentration. The exercise room is kept very cool with circulating air to prevent sweating, keeping you more energized and eliminating the need for a shower or change of clothes. Starting at the age of 25, women start to lose 2-3% of bone and muscle mass per year. Without weight bearing exercise, we will experience decreased muscle strength, increased body fat, fatigue, and susceptibility to osteoporosis and other serious conditions. It’s time to give a little time for yourself. But not all of your time! Suburban W Woman of DuPage County ® I have joined many different health clubs and programs and failed at all of them. I have been doing this for four weeks and have lost two pounds each week , which I know doesn’t seem like a lot but I am so impressed with all the inches I have lost. I have a lot more energy and I am excited! - Colette M "My job is very physical and since I’ve been training at Dynamic Strength I have a ton more energy and incredible strength that makes my job easier. I also don’t wake up with my old aches and pain anymore." Norm S. "The most efficient workout with the best results that I have done in 37 Holly H. years, and I have tried everything" "I have never been fond of exercising, but I love this! It just takes 20 minutes, no sweat and lots of gain. It's a fun challenge!" Marilyn D.. Nicki Casale is the owner of Dynamic Strength, Oakbrook Terrace, IL.

For the first time ever, I actually have muscles! Not huge bulky muscles, but real firm muscle tone that makes me look and feel better. Its great knowing my workouts are helping my bones become stronger too, since like everyone, I want to avoid osteoporosis. - Anne H 41 ©January 15 - March 15, 2008 Health & Fitness Hidden Danger in CFL Light Bulbs Did you know the U.S. Congress passed an energy bill in 2007 banning the incandescent light bulb by the year 2014? That's because the incandescent bulb, the one Thomas Edison helped perfect in the 1800s, has been superceded by the compact fluorescent light (CFL) and LEDs because of their benefits to the environment. But could the CFL really be too good to be true? Less than a month after the U.S. energy bill was passed, research in Britain has led to the UK Environment Agency issuing guidelines about CFLs. They're calling for evacuation of any room where an energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulb is broken, due to the release of toxic mercury. According to environmental impact studies, CFLs stand to save at least five million tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year. They also are more cost-effective in the long run: CFLs are more expensive than incandescent bulbs up front, but through longer burn times and less energy usage, they save home and business owners money. But each CFL contains 6 to 8 milligrams of toxic mercury. Broken bulbs, where mercury could be released into a home, and even improper disposal of the bulbs present separate environmental problems. If a CFL bulb is broken, these suggestions are offered: • Vacate the room for at least 15 minutes. • The debris should be removed with rubber gloves. Do not use a vacuum, which could push toxic dust into the air. • Put all broken glass and debris into a sealed bag and bring to a recycling center for proper disposal. Other Impacts of CFL's In a side note, mercury poisoning is not the only health implication from CFLs. Early studies indicate that people suffering from certain skin ailments, such as eczema and psoriasis, could experience flare ups. There has been a link to CFLs and migraine headaches. If you suspect your bulbs are causing health problems, see your doctor. the Suburban W Woman of DuPage County ® 42 ©March 15 - May 15, 2008 Health & Fitness Zhijiang Chen (C J) CJ Herbal Remedies, Inc.

At LifeWork Counseling, we blend counseling knowledge with creativity as an ‘art’. So, simple phrases, redefining problems, using graphics, and developing props as symbols, often prove to be the cornerstone of child learning and change. professionals, and making use of the child’s or teens individual talents and strengths. This is referred to as multimodal planning, a model for providing quality care. Children, teens, and their families seek us for counseling with impulse control difficulties, poor attention skills, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and esteem problems. Fortunately today, we have parents that are more knowledgeable about their child’s mental health and the importance of counseling. In addition to child and family therapy, we provide marriage and couple counseling, group counseling, vocational counseling, employee performance enhancement, corporate workshops, team building, and retreats. Also offered as a specialization, is the treatment of substance abuse for adults and teens. There seems to be an increased frequency of diagnosed disorders whether coming from professionals, parents, or peers. For example, the diagnosis of attention, bipolar, or autistic disorders seems quite prevalent. The most recent shock was the report that autism symptoms are found in 1 of 150-165 children! Yet, actual epidemiological studies (DSM-IV) report the number of autism cases at 2-5 per 10,000. Perhaps it is a way to explain behaviors that are difficult to amend, or there is greater clarity in diagnosing the disorder. Subsequently, we make special effort to provide a thorough assessment of every child. As we use the concepts of multiple causality and multimodal planning, evidence-based standards are applied to insure the quality of care. This means that we use the most recent and accepted interventions that are professionally researched and practiced. It is of great value to insure that children, teens, and their families receive the most up-to-date and clinically researched care. We provide counseling that is time-framed, meaning that we estimate the number and frequency of sessions to create change efficiently. We want children and adults to substantially improve so well, that their talents, abilities, and self-esteem are realized. We are your personal provider for problem solving individual and family needs. Call us today for a tour of our facility or to schedule an appointment. Lifework Counseling has male and female therapists who work in relationship, family, child and individual therapies. The best thing you can do for yourself and your family is to deal with your own issues first – begin with self. Call Lifework today. Clinically, disorders of childhood are often times categorized to help professionals understand the primary difficulty that a child may be experiencing. For instance, ADHD, child disruptive disorder, and impulse control disorder are classified as disorders of ‘under control’. Anxiety, phobia, and obsessive compulsive disorders are seen as disorders of ‘over control’. Asperger’s Disorder or Pervasive Developmental Disorder are seen as disorders of ‘social integration’. Depression and Bipolar Disorder are seen as disorders of ‘mood regulation’. These classifications are important because they suggest the causes and symptoms of the problem. This also helps us in choosing a sound treatment approach. Multiple causality is a term indicating that disorders have several causes. It is human nature to seek one factor, or explanation, for problems or disorders. For instance, with ADHD, of which there are three types, children are frequently medicated to improve attention and decrease hyperactivity. This single intervention suggests that ADHD has a neurological basis. But what about other contributing factors? Neurology is the single and most significant factor. However, problem solving, self-appraisal, and family and social environments may be influential as well. In counseling children and teens, we provide education about these factors and how each must be addressed. This is always done respectful of the child’s age and abilities. In counseling children and adolescents we use several interventions, or modes of treatment. To appropriately compliment individual counseling, there should be child and family education about the problem, family support, family therapy (as needed), social/recreational/church activities, physician consultation (as needed), networking with school the Suburban W Woman of DuPage County ® 45 3500 Spring Road, Oakbrook, IL 60523 630.655.0404 www.lifeworkcorp.com ©March 15 - May 15, 2008 the Suburban Woman of DuPage County ® stands are at these 138 locations which are refilled regularly.

People do attempt this…often with deadly results. It is also terribly unfair to the animal! By Jo (Linda) Giovannoni Black Panther, 10-years-old, 120lbs. Valley of the Kings (VOTK) Animal Sanctuary and Retreat, Sharon, WI., (80-miles from Chicago) In North America, the term panther is commonly used for the cougar (genus Puma) while in Latin America it is most often used to mean a jaguar. Elsewhere in the world it refers to the leopard. Charlie didn’t ask to have his teeth and claws removed. Nor did he ask to be treated like a prop posing with celebrities for a Hollywood producer. “People mistakenly think removing the teeth and de-clawing a big cat makes them safe,” said Jill Carnegie, founder of VOTK. “They’re WRONG, very wrong! He can still pack a heavy blow capable of breaking someone’s back. His jaw alone could inflict a lot of pain if he felt threatened.” Charlie’s diet is limited to ground turkey, chicken livers and a special blend of calcium, minerals and vitamins. Charlie cannot be returned to the wild, his means of defense and hunting are gone…he would starve or fall prey to a predator. Native to warmer climates, Charlie’s outside enclosure has access for entering Jill and Jim’s home. “A fenced area inside keeps him from roaming the house and terrorizing the house cats,” Jill added with a smile. Charlie arrived at VOTK six years ago. Many months passed before Charlie was comfortable around Jill and he was slow to accept her husband Jim Tomasi. “For a long time Charlie paced back and forth,” Jill said. “When we approached he reacted violently lunging at the fence. We gave Charlie his space hoping he would come around but only time would tell.” Six months passed, Charlie began to settle down and Jill began a calming treatment. “I sat with my back to his enclosure and read a book. It did upset him and he let me know it. I ignored him and repeated this for months in between caring for other sanctuary animals. After he realized I was not a threat he ignored me. Later he grew more accustomed to my scent and started sitting closer. Eventually he curled up next to me on his side of the enclosure. Of course, I never do this with an animal that has claws or teeth or I probably would not be here to talk about it.” Before we continue, we must emphasize VOTK is NOT a petting zoo nor do they condone or promote the idea of trying to turn an exotic, wild the Suburban W Woman of DuPage County ® One day Jill did something very out of the norm—she entered Charlie’s enclosure. “I knelt down to appear less threatening and remained still,” Jill said. “Believe me…I had safety in mind with every move. Charlie began ‘mouthing me,’ a method animal’s use to get to know you. When he finished he sat next to me." A problem did occur when Jill stood up. “It must have triggered a painful memory. Charlie flopped over on his back and started screaming and squirming in fear as if anticipating a beating. After much time and patience on both our parts, we now interact without him going ballistic. He’s more content now although I’m sure he is not thrilled living so close to his natural enemy—lions. Animals should be allowed to live in their natural habitat. Unfortunately, mankind often cares more about that almighty dollar then the feelings and rights of animals. Charlie was lucky to be rescued. I often wonder how many more animals are suffering at the hand of man.” Charlie’s former owner used a fire extinguisher to move him from place to place. They suspect a pole was also used because Charlie goes ballistic if someone walks past holding a rake or shovel. “His de-clawing must have been done by an amateur,” Jill added. “When he arrived here it was obviously painful for him to walk!” “Jill and I have many years of contact and training with exotics,” Jim said. “The USDI (Department of the Interior) and the Division of Fish and Wildlife enacted new regulations for sanctuaries, zoos, etc., prohibiting anyone without proper training contact with exotic or dangerous animals. By definition, all animals (two or four-footed) have similar characteristics. All animals are ‘sentient beings’, having what we commonly call "emotions". Human’s love and hate, big cats fight for survival, and elephants weep for their dead. If any animal does not wish to be disturbed…give it time and space and treat it with the respect they deserve.” Can you help rescue an animal stuck in an abusive situation? It’s simple. For indigenous animals contact USDI, Department of Fish and Game for Exotic Animals (tigers, panthers, etc.) contact USDA (Department of Agriculture) for domestic animals (dogs, cats, etc.) or your local county office.

Given today's high prices and concerns for the environment, what are you waiting for? Here's timetested advice from the experts at the non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) on ways to use less gasoline. • Check tire pressure. Under-inflated tires and poorly aligned wheels waste fuel by forcing the engine to work harder. • Consolidate your daily trips and errands. • Avoid excessive engine idling. Shut off your vehicle while waiting for friends and family. • Observe speed limits. Speeding decreases your miles per gallon. • Drive gently. Sudden accelerations guzzle gas. Anticipate traffic patterns ahead and adjust your speed gradually. • Remove clutter and unused items. Less weight means better mileage. • Keep your engine operating at its peak efficiency. A misfiring spark plug or clogged filters cut into gas mileage. • Follow the service schedules listed in your owner's manual and have the work performed by qualified technicians. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence was founded to improve the quality of automotive service and repair through the voluntary testing and certification of automotive technicians. ASE-certified technicians wear blue and white ASE insignia and carry credentials listing their area(s) of certification. Their employers often display the blue and white ASE sign.
