says to plan out shopping treks in advance,making trips to stores that are all in thesame area.

Planning on shippinggifts for the holidays? Inorder to save time, moneyand possibly headaches,check out these tips. Plan ahead. Every

shipping carrier is slammedaround the holidays. Inorder to save yourself a fewbucks, its best to mail yourpresents with plenty oftime to spare.Consumers can save

time and money this yearby planning ahead andshipping early, says SonyaThorpe, senior communi-cations specialist withFedEx Office. Customerswho ship by Dec. 17, 2009,can use FedExGround andHome Delivery Servicesfor the most cost-effectivedelivery.Most carriers, including

the U.S. Postal Service andFedEx, have importantdates listed on their Websites about holiday ship-ping. Visit usps.com orfedex.com for more infor-mation. Choose the right

materials. By its verynature, mail will undergo itsfair share of bumps, nicksand thumps, so its impor-tant to use the right materi-

als when packing youritems. For starters, usps.comrecommends using a new,sturdy cardboard box thatwill hold up to mild wearand tear. Anddont forget toreview the boxs weightlimit.In addition, Thorpe

advises shippers to put anaddress label both insideand outside the box. (In theevent that the outer label isripped off, most carrierswill open the box and lookfor a second address label.)She says you should neverwrap the exterior of theshipping box, as this mightcause it to get caught onconveyor belts. The postalservice also recommendsputting a return address onthe package, in the eventthat it cannot be deliveredfor some reason. Pack it properly. To

ensure that your packagearrives safely with its con-tents intact, Thorpe saysyou should use the properpadding materials whenshipping your holiday gifts.Newspaper is not the

best choice, as it will take alot of paper to provideproper cushioning, increas-ing the weight of the ship-

ment. Bubble wrap and/orfoam peanuts are excellent,lightweight options forcushioning, says Thorpe.To seal the package,

usps.com recommends thatyou only use tape designedfor sealing shipping boxes;never use string, cellophane

or masking tape.In addition, consolidate

your gifts, if possible. Forexample, if youre sendinggifts to several people in thesame home, pack their giftsinto one box. Sending a 30-pound box usually costsless than sending two sepa-

rate 15-pound boxes. Shop around. Check

out businesses such asUSPS, UPS, DHL andFedEx to determine whichone offers the best pricesand services for your needs.On a final note: To

ensure that the recipient

retrieves every gift youshipped in the box (anddoesnt accidentally throwone away with the packingmaterials), enclose a list not-ing each item in the box andtry to wrap each gift inbright or conspicuouspaper.

What is Scientology?What is Scientology?What is Scientology?What is Scientology?Those with chronic

back pain can nowbreathe a sigh of reliefthanks to Dr. EricRies and his new FDAapproved non-surgicaltechnology.

Over 11 years ago,NASA discoveredthat astronauts wererelieved of back andneck pain during spacetravel. In the zerogravity state, astro-nauts gained as muchas two inches due toincreased disc heightand pressure on theirspines was eliminated.This discovery led tothe development of atreatment that mimicsthis zero gravitystate.

The SPINA decom-pression system wasdeveloped by a teamof back specialistsand NASA engineers.Unlike other types

of treatment, spinaldecompression reposi-tions the disc andrepairs the disc struc-ture. These dramaticimprovements are seenon before and afterMRI studies.

These treatmentshave been nothing shortof a miracle. After twoweeks of treatment, Ihave been able to re-sume all sports activi-ties and I feel great! Hugh S.

Spinal decom-pression is a majoradvancement in thetreatment of backpain because it is theonly non-surgical disctreatment proven tohave lasting results,says Dr. Eric Ries ofCool Springs Back andNeck Care located inFranklin, Tenn.

Research hasshown that in a clinical

study, more than 86%of patients treated withspinal decompressionwere effectivelycorrected.

Treatment for thepatient is extremelycomfortable and somepatients fall asleepduring their 30-minutetreatment session. Inmany cases the painresolves after the rstfew minutes of being

on the machine.Most patients I will

see have tried every-thing from medicationto surgery. Thanks tothis technology, I amable to help patientsquickly without anyrisks or complications,explained Dr. Ries.
