Death and How it Affects the Living

When we talk about life and death it is necessary for us to question who and what we are? What life is all about and how we interact with each other?

Life is something very subtle within the body. It is the life force, which holds all the different parts of the body together and gives purpose and direction to life. Yet the experience of life is one of being the observer to what is happening in our environment and our body.

We know that we are not the physical body because every cell in the body changes every 7 years, yet the personality within the body stays the same from a small baby to a teenager to an adult.

We are spiritual in nature, you could say the Self is an Angel, who looks through the body and sees and senses the world around us through this vehicle we call our body. I would even go as far as to say that I believe the Angel within the Soul of the person was never born and therefore can never die.

From physics’ point of view I would say the Self is unmanifest, like the vacuum state in quantum physics, which is an eternal continuum - never changing, always the same. That this unmanifest state is connected to the whole universe but at the same time takes on a local quality, which forms the soul of the person. By “Soul” I don’t mean anything separate from the person; it is just a way of talking about them that denotes that they are eternal.

I like to use the analogy of the air in the room. Each room has a different smell to it and different qualities in the air, yet there is no point where the air in one room ends and the air of the next room start: they are joined, yet different.

What I am basically saying is that the soul of the person was never born, i.e. never became manifest in physical form, and therefore can never die. It always was a part of the eternal continuum of life that underlies this physical world and the body which it was looking through, while we refer to the body in normal terms as alive.

So if you have managed to follow my thought this far you can see that the soul of the person is a part of the eternal continuum and after shedding this body may choose to step into the next body and start a new life over again.

As regards the living relatives left behind after a loved one has shed the body. I feel it is up to each one of us to see and react to this event however we choose. There is no right or wrong way to react to the death of a loved one.

All I would like to say on the subject is that the deceased are only a thought away. You may have had the experience of telepathy with a close loved one while they are alive. You may even have had the feeling of their loss, before you were told at what time the death did occur. All I am saying is that we are connected to the ones we love on a soul level and we can communicate with them on a soul level.

I would also like to say it is not what happens in our life or what happens to our loved ones that makes the difference. It is how we react to what happens in our life, which makes all the difference in the world. Each one of us is in control of our reaction: we have the choice to think any thought in any moment.

Therefore you may want to question how you are reacting to the death of a close loved one and see if it is serving you? Is it making any difference to the person who has died? Or would a loving thought felt deep in the heart and sent out to that person have a more constructive effect?

If you allow yourself to connect to the person who has died and send them loving thoughts, you may find that you get a feeling back of that person coming around you. You may feel them as an Angel around you and helping to comfort you in this time of mourning.

Therefore please let go of all the mystery of death, as there is no such thing, only the taking on of a body and then shedding it, which does not affect the dweller within the body one bit, as they stay in the eternal continuum of life all the time.

Please question your belief system around this subject. As some religions celebrate death, like the spiritualists, who have a great belief in the survival of life after death.

Lots of souls are choosing to leave the body at this time. Their work in this lifetime is finished for now but life goes on and they will be back in a new role and in a new dimension to carry on discovering and learning more about life and living and the evolutionary process of ascension.

So What Essential Vitamins And Nutrients Does My Body Really Need ?

This was a question I had been asking myself for a while.The fact is a large number of vitamin,mineral and antioxidant products just can’t give your body what it needs everyday to maintain optimal cellular protection from the free radicals and oxidative stress that are the root cause of almost all of the chronic degenerative diseases that plague the western world today.Now I could go into the real nuts and bolts of how and why we are living too short and dying too long in todays toxic society but that will have to be another article.

Essentially there are a lot of half truthes and basic “BS”when it comes to what a vitamin and mineral product should contain.And as its always prudent to only take advice from world reknowned experts in any field, the Nutritional Supplementation field is no diferent to any other.
So what should a product actually contain ? Great question and the answer can be found in ” The Comapartive Guide to Nutritional Supplements” Written By Dr Lyle MacWilliam,BSc,MSc,FP and a team of seven expert Bioscientists from around the world.

Lyle was a Canadian Parliamentarian several years ago and became concerned at the flood of these products onto the market place in North America and Canada.So he assembled his team with the goal of providing independant,non biased ,Science based answers for the public and health professionals.After reviewing countless hours of data and research they all agreed on an international standard called “The Blended Standard” which is the top 39 minerals,antioxidants and nutrients that your body needs everyday and the dosages required to maintain optimal cellular protection.By the way the dosages to help prevent chronic degenerative disease not just the RDA allowances which are so grossly outdated and were devised back in the 1950’s to provide a guideline for things like scurvy and rickets.

They then used this benchmark to compare around 500 products off the shelves at random,scoring them all from 0-100% percent based on a very strict criteria.The results were shocking,I used to think that most nutritional products were of good quality until I read this book.Without going into too much minute detail (you’ll need to get a copy to read yourself) most products scored less than 50 % .Thats right, you read that correctly.In fact only about 20 products out of 500 scored higher than 2/3rds (66%).And only 6 made higher than 90 %.

Most of the common products available in the supermarket,drugstore or healthfood shops registered a score of less than 10 %.I was outraged,shocked and disgusted that these companies could put such low quality products out into the population.

I quickly learned that the major reason for the difference in quality across the board was caused by many factors but the major one was manufacturing standard.Almost all of the products are made to Food grade standards and only a few select top quality products were made to Pharmaceutical and Pharmacopaea guidelines or Good manufacturing practices (GMP’s).

This he same standard to which all drugs are made to whereas food grade is what your pizza is made to as an example.
So comparing the two standards is like comparing pizza and penecillan in relation the way they are made.

If you are as health concious as I am, finding and using only the best products available makes sense and has actually made a considerable difference to my overall health as well as the health of my family.Because our bodies are constantly creating and replacing billions of cells everyday, if we aren’t providing the necessary building blocks to get the job done correctly then over time we are very likely to contract a major illness like cancer which is killing 1 in 3 people in most western countries on current statistics.

Without spelling out to you how this process actually takes place in our bodies, wouldn’t you want to do everything you possibly can to not only protect yourself from chronic degenerative diseases,but also protect the ones you love ? Because the statistics worldwide are only getting worse as we treat the effects rather than prevent it from happening in the first place.

Take care and Merry Xmas to you and you family

How To Choose Videoconference Carts

Are you tired of looking for good quality videoconference carts?
What are they, you ask? There is really no need to explain video
conferencing carts - they are furniture built to hold video
conferencing equipment. Video conferencing carts come in a
variety of designs to suit different purposes.

Surprisingly, there is nothing special about their construction.
At times, they even look like ordinary shelves or cabinets with
wheels.

Video Conferencing Carts - Go By Function

Choose a video conferencing cart that’s suitable for your needs.
Video conferencing cabinets are a common and cheap alternative.
They are similar to TV cabinets. The glass doors help keep your
video conferencing equipment free from dust. The small size also
makes it extremely portable, good when you have to drag it
across rooms.

If you need to show video to a larger audience, only a tall
video conference cart will do. These tall video conferencing
carts are usually similar to video conferencing cabinets, except
that the vertical support bars can be adjusted very high.

If you need a sturdier piece of equipment, choose a video
conferencing cart with an all-steel construction. Video security
cabinets with monitor enclosures can be a great investment, too.
These large carts are often bulky and made of high-grade
materials that will last for a very long time. If you need a
versatile cart, you can choose a multi-purpose cart that can
serve as a monitor and projector stand.

When making the purchase, be sure to inspect the item
thoroughly. Check the wheels to make sure that they glide
smoothly. Make sure that the frame is durable and the vinyl or
paint covering is made well. Finally, ensure that the height is
appropriate. A short one will not do and it is preferable to
choose the tallest model available.

Wear the Perfect-fit Helmet

Motorcycle accessories like helmet, are a matter of personal choice. In that case, aesthetic side often succeeds over anything else. At any rate, this has contributed why safety is overlooked.

To shun misconceptions in choosing motorcycle helmets, here are some of the factors that you have to consider:

Shape

This is the most important factor that you have to understand before purchasing a helmet. Riders come in varying head shapes. These shapes include round, oval, egg, reverse egg and earth. Helmets are also particularly made to cater to these varying head shapes. Thus, the choice is given to the purchasers. They must select the most appropriate helmet shape that will greatly support their head.

Visibility

Be sure that your helmet gives you appropriate peripheral vision. This is simply to avoid accidents and other untoward incidents.

Liners

Liners vary depending on the design, material and shape of the helmet. Liners must give comfort and protection to the rider. Thus, it must be compatible with the rider’s needs.

Liners that give pressure points must be avoided. Pressure points are usually located against the temples, forehead and cheeks. Helmet liner ‘skull cap’ is preferable. Moreover, it is better if you personally try the helmet before purchasing it. This is to ensure that it will not be burdensome in the future.

Color

Color is important in the sense that it affects conspicuity. Bright colors are preferable over solid and dull ones. The purpose is to make the rider visible even during nighttime. This is to avoid collisions and the like.

Before you purchase a helmet, make sure that you are knowledgeable of all the factors involve. You do not purchase simply because it is hot or at the moment hype.

Also, before purchasing, wear it first for an extended period to be sure of the fit and feel. Wear ear plugs to be acquainted with the surrounding sounds.

Some of the leading motorcycle helmet manufacturers are Arai, Bell, Icon, AGV, Nolan, Thor, Erex. The helmets they are releasing are mostly tested and approved by Snell and DOT. Choosing is using your mind and your senses…

Dining Out At Sea

If eating fine food is your pleasure, a cruise vacation is
for you. If you get up early enough, go to bed late
enough and catch the elevators on your ship just right -
you can eat up to 13 times a day on board. And that does
not count 24 hour complementary room service.

Fine cuisine and five star dining has always been a part
of the cruise experience. On board, you’ll be treated to
more options than ever before. As soon as one serving is
ending, somewhere on the ship another is beginning. Today
the on board dining experience rivals almost any land
based restaurant.

Celebrity Cruise Lines cuisine, for example, is acclaimed by food experts, travel authorities and the most discriminating connoisseurs of all, their passengers. Whether the succulent, broiled lobster tails and coquilles Saint Jacques served on the finest china or fresh pastas and omelets “made to order” from the buffet, an array of exotic dishes and familiar favorites are yours to enjoy.

Menu offerings on Celebrity are created by master chef,
Michel Roux, a Michelin three star restaurant owner, and
are as outstanding as the setting in which they are
served - grand, multi-level dining rooms, with a piano
played softly in the background. Imagine Smoked Salmon
Claudine, Pheasant Mousseline with Blueberry Vinaigrette,
Consommé with Vegetable Brunoise, Broiled Lobster Tail,
Veal Medallions, Coffee Profiteroles with Jamaican Sabayon
and Swan Puff with Chocolate Sauce.

The price? Includedwith your cruise as is all dining on board your floating resort. And there is virtually no limit on what or how much you can order!

If what I just described is too formal for you, how about
breakfast in bed, sunrise coffee and pastries on deck. Of
course there is always a full breakfast in your ship’s
dining room or a relaxed buffet in one of the alternative
dining areas. French toast. Spanish omelets made to
order. And Danish, of course. You’ll find them all at
breakfast, along with such traditional fare as ham and
eggs, fresh fruit and yogurt, a choice of toast and rolls,
pancakes and home fries Lunch? Casual, poolside lunch or
full menu in the dining room and on some cruise ships the
between meal most popular attraction, 24-hour pizzerias
and ever present ice cream bars or buffets.

While the 24 hour room service on some ships is restricted
to snacks, cold sandwiches and sometimes hamburgers, other
cruise lines offer you a full dining room menu in your
cabin during regular dining hours. Princess Cruises now
offers true 24-hour dining in their Horizon Court
restaurants featuring their own galley which allows it to
stay open ALL day and ALL night, offering a full menu of
both hot and cold meals. Your dinner is served tableside
by waiters from 7:30p.m. through 4:00a.m. and all other
meals are available buffet style from free-standing
islands designed to eliminate lines.

I do not want to panic the health conscious crowd, so you
will be secure in knowing that most ships can accommodate
salt-free, low-carbohydrate, kosher or other diet
preferences. The variety of healthy and guilt-free
choices will astound your eyes and your taste buds.
Almost all Cruise lines offer a “heart smart” section on
their menus, including vegetarian entrees at lunch and
dinner and fresh fruit and other natural snacks are always
available. And then there is always the expansive fitness
areas for you to use and remain ship-shape.

On mainstream cruise lines, you’ll have to choose your
dining time when making your cruise plan. There are
usually two dinner seatings, one between 6:00p.m.- 6:30pm
and one between 8:00p.m. and 8:30p.m. depending on your
ship itinerary. The 6:00p.m seating will allow you to
work up an appetite for the mid-night buffet. But some
ships have a 1:30a.m. buffet so you can be comfortable
going to the late seating. Your table is reserved for you
for the entire cruise and your waiter and busboy will
become like family, dedicated to making your cruise a
dream vacation.

Table size is usually, for 4, 6, 8 or 10 with the occasional table for two. If you are traveling in a group or with friends you’ll want to ensure that your seated together at the same dinner seating.

My suggestion is to always ask for a large table. What a great way to meet new friends from around the world. Unless, of
course, your stateroom has a balcony and your significant
other wants a private dinner for two!

Best of all, the one thing you’ll never see on a cruise
ship menu is a price! Bon Appetit!

Inspect Your Tenants’ Apartment Before You Re-Finance

Low interest rates continue to encourage homeowners to re-finance their property. Owners use the extra cash to pay off credit card debt, complete outside repairs, replace porches, upgrade electrical wiring, install a new roof, de-lead the house, renovate kitchens and bathroom in their apartment, and similar large maintenance work.

When or if you have a large sum of money to invest in your real estate, you need to think about upgrading your tenant’s apartment, as well as your vacancies. The condition of your tenant’s unit is part of the market value of your house or building. If it’s in bad shape, it could lower the potential sale price. If it is good condition, it adds to the stability of your financial investment.

You also do not want to be in the position of having to do a complete renovation of the tenant’s apartment after a move-out. When you have the money, consider upgrading key areas of the apartment building.

When was the last time you saw the inside of your tenant’s apartment? Do you know what condition it is in? How long has the tenant lived there? The answers could impact how much money you will need to request to the bank.

Homeowners have an obligation to review and maintain the upkeep of their occupied and vacant units. Doing an annual apartment inspection helps you stay abreast of the condition of your investment. Once you give advance written notice to your tenant, go in with a pen and notebook, and write down what repairs need to be made. Also write down large replacement work needed. For example:

Are there illegal bars on your tenant’s windows that need to be removed or replaced?

Do you have an elderly or disabled tenant who could benefit from hold bars in the bathroom by the toilet and tub?

Are the ceilings and walls cracked from building settling? Does the apartment need any patch and paintwork?

Are there a lot of extension cords, indicating a need for additional electrical plugs? Is there a GFI electrical (safety) switch in the bathroom and kitchen, which may be a part of your state’s housing or building code?

Did the tenant have a roof leak and the water damage from it never got repaired?

If a needed repair has been caused by damage to the apartment, rather than wear and tear, you can charge the tenant for the repair cost. The point of the apartment inspection is to review the overall condition of the apartment at least once a year. You want to know if your tenant unit is in as good a shape as the exterior of your property. The inspection can and should be used to determine your needs as part of your re-financing request.

Once you evaluate your needs, talk to contractors for proposals, and calculate the overall costs. That will tell you how much money you require to re-finance, in addition to any other fiscal needs you are looking to resolve. As stated before, if you complete substantial renovations at your property, you can recoup the expenses through your decrease in mortgage interest costs, or a rent increase on the units impacted by the renovations.

In Summary, do not forget that the condition, as a whole, of your tenant’s apartment is what makes your property valuable to you as the owner, real estate investor, and to potential buyers. A good research of what it would cost to upgrade or repair your residential units, as part of your total re-financing needs, is never a waste of time. It could also save you money in the long-term stability of your investment.

Ford Escape Hybrid: First Gas-Electric-Powered SUV and Ford Replacement Parts for Its Exceptional Pe

The Ford Escape Hybrid is a fuel-saving, gas-electric
hybrid-power version of small, four-door sport-utility vehicle,
available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or four-wheel drive
(4×4). Its power train has 2.3-liter, four-cylinder gas engine
rated 133 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, 129 pounds-feet of torque at
4,500 rpm; synchronous AC electric motor rated 94 hp from 3,000
to 5,000 rpm; 330-volt battery pack under rear cargo floor;
electronically controlled, continuously variable transmission.
Maximum power output is 155 hp because gas and electric do not
make their maximum power simultaneously.

It has a 2.3-liter, Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine
with a 70-kilowatt permanent-magnet traction electric motor,
regenerative braking and a 330-volt battery pack. The
combination provides performance on par with a V-6. The hybrid
never has to be plugged in because the engine recharges the
batteries, by the electric motor and by heat recovered as energy
during braking.

“The Escape hybrid really “wants” to be an electric vehicle, but
the gasoline engine adds power for acceleration, charges the
batteries and powers the air conditioning,” said Mary Ann
Wright, Ford’s director of Sustainable Mobility Programs

Unlike electric cars, hybrids never need to be plugged into a
recharger. Regenerative braking recharges the Ford Escape
Hybrid, which converts electric motor into a generator to help
refill the battery pack during stops; and by a recharging system
powered by the gas engine.

Designed to last for the life of the vehicle and can be found
under the Escape’s cargo floor, the battery pack, which contains
250 small batteries roughly the size of D cells mounted in
series doesn’t infringe on cargo space.

The software and computerized controllers that make everything
work effectively is the key to a hybrid. Small badges identify
the Ford Escape as a hybrid. The instrument panel is a little
different because it contains a gauge that shows when the
electric motor is the source of power and when the gasoline
engine is running. An optional LCD display in the center stack
gives instant and average fuel economy as well as a pictorial
representation of how the power is flowing at any instant.

The Escape’s hybrid engine shuts down at rest to conserve fuel.
When driving resumes, the SUV’s 70-kilowatt traction motor
generator can launch the vehicle on electric power. When it’s
needed, the generator starts the gas engine without the
increased emissions produced when a conventional engine is
started The Escape Hybrid also produces as little as half the
amount of carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas) as a conventional gas
engine. It produces 97 percent less hydrocarbon and oxides of
nitrogen emissions than vehicles meeting today’s required
emission standards. That qualifies it for the Advanced
Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) standards
designation. Being the leader in the development of low emission
vehicles, Ford continually develops projects that will someday
result in practical hydrogen-powered vehicles with no greenhouse
gas emissions. As zealous as Ford in continually upgrading its
products to suit every client needs, Partstrain is always
looking for superior and quality workmanship for its product
lines. Only the finest Ford auto body parts comprise its stock.

How to Attract More Into Your Life:3 Things You Can Do–Right Now

One of the most common questions people ask me about the Law of Attraction is how to use it to attract more money. Money is simply the energy of abundance, and the Law of Attraction can therefore be used deliberately to increase abundance in our lives. To understand how to increase the energy of abundance, consider this: The Law of Attraction is all about vibes.

The word vibes comes from the longer word—vibration. All energy is vibration. We commonly use the word vibe to refer to experiences that give off a negative vibe or a positive vibe. So, when we say we get a good vibe or a bad vibe from an experience, we are actually describing positive vibrations or negative vibrations.

Here is an important concept that is vital to understanding how to use the Law of Attraction; vibrations are generated as a result of the thoughts and words we use. A vibration is simply a mood or a feeling. In every moment, we are emitting (sending or offering) a vibration. In the vibrational world, there are only two kinds of vibrations; positive or negative. The Law of Attraction is a powerful, universal law that simply responds to our vibration by giving us more of the same, whether wanted or unwanted–in every moment, including right now!

Definition of the Law of Attraction:

I attract to myself, whatever I give my focus, attention, or energy to; whether wanted or unwanted.

The Law of Attraction is an obedient law. Understanding that, we want to become more deliberate offer-ers of the vibes that we are emitting.

Using the Law of Attraction to Increase Our Abundance:

We have learned so far that all feelings give off vibrations, either positive or negative. Abundance is a feeling and that’s GOOD news. Why? All feelings can be duplicated! Abundance is a feeling, and that feeling has a corresponding vibration that we can duplicate. In many cases, people are duplicating the feeling of lack, sadness, or hopelessness simply by the thoughts and the words they use. Given that we can generate feelings by our words and thoughts, we can learn how to duplicate the feelings of abundance more intentionally, using our words and thoughts.

The best news of all is, the Law of Attraction doesn’t know if we are generating a thought by; remembering, pretending, creating, visualizing, or day-dreaming. It simply responds to our vibration in that moment. And–we can only hold one vibration at a time! By creating the vibration of abundance more deliberately and more often, we are INCREASING abundance in our lives.

I suggest that you commit to this process of deliberately duplicating the vibration of abundance, by using your thoughts, for the next 7 days. Start today! Here’s the exercise that will help you do that.

Part One:

Build a list of all the sources and resources where money and abundance can come from. Most people when asked: “How could you get more money?” reply that they could work more to earn more money. The belief that the ONLY way to increase your abundance, is to find a way to earn more money, is a limiting belief. There are actually many, many other ways that abundance can increase in your life.

Here are 5 sources of abundance. Start with these and build your list to 60 sources or more!

Sources of Abundance:
Someone treats you to lunch (or breakfast or dinner)
Someone gives you free advice or coaching
You receive gifts
You receive free transportation or lodging
You get your 3rd cup of coffee free
Part Two:

Keep a daily log of all the sources from which you are receiving abundance. This will significantly help you to notice abundance in your life. Keeping a daily log shows you concrete evidence that abundance DOES exist and IS increasing in your life. Celebrate! When you notice abundance, celebrate the evidence of it in your life–and while celebrating, know that you are offering the positive vibration of abundance. Remember, at every moment, including right now, the Law of Attraction is checking to see which vibration you are offering, responding to that vibration, and giving you more of the same.

Here’s a great tip! Two minutes a day of deliberate attention to abundance is better than no minutes.

This exercise will have you emitting or offering the vibration of abundance more deliberately and more frequently. Have fun with this!

Start doing this exercise for the next 7 days and notice the things you can now start telling yourself: “I’m so abundant! I’ve attracted evidence of abundance every day for the last 7 days.” “I’m so abundant; I’ve attracted 100’s of dollars of free advice in the last 7 days.”

Become a deliberate offer-er of your vibration and the Law of Attraction will obediently bring you more of the same.

Michael Losier, a Law of Attraction Trainer and author, supports people in understanding and practicing the Art of Deliberate Attraction, so they can have more of what they want and less of what they don’t. Michael has been applying the principles of Law of Attraction for many years and enjoys a wonderful and rewarding life in the city of Victoria, BC, Canada. He facilitates a number of in-person Law of Attraction seminars as well as Teleseminars to a worldwide audience.

What You Need to Know When Buying a Massage Table

Let me explain why these five things are the most important when shopping for a portable massage table. Price tends to be everyone’s primary focus, and for good reason. In the world today, more and more people are becoming conscious of the growing issue of cost and its effect on our pocketbook.

Portable massage tables can be very expensive. In my research the lowest price I was able to find that had any type of quality to it was the Harmony 2 package designed by Earthlite. This package comes with an excellent 2-year warranty against any defects. The package itself contains a portable massage table, a one level adjustable headrest, and a protective case. The cost for this package is $299 with free shipping to anywhere within the continental United States.

For all professional massage therapists the client comfort is to be the number one consideration for any portable massage table. The added features are what can make the big difference in price between one model and another. The more foam within the table will give it a much a softer feel. However, the type of foam is just as important for determining long-term durability. For example, very soft foam will mean that it could contain a lot of air. Air will settle with continued use. Therefore, it is best to have foam that is more durable at the very top of the layers. When you add a fleece pad to your massage table, this is like adding one inch of foam and thus adds more comfort for your client.

When you are buying a portable massage table, you want to feel that it will last even under severe conditions. Most table manufacturers today use what is called the cable-lock system in their construction, this provides the needed strength to support the table even when a heavier person is using it, and when applying strong pressure or rocking techniques. Examine the warranty offered; the better models will carry a lifetime warranty against defects within the workmanship and materials. I suggest you look carefully at the various aspects of the construction of the table. Look at the type of wood used during construction, it should be a very sturdy type of wood, also consider the type of plywood used for the platform. I suggest looking at how the massage table is assembled as well, assuring full support no matter the circumstances.

Most of the tables are sold in the standard 30″ width and wider. The width of the portable massage table you need will greatly depend on how you intend to use it. If you are primarily stationary and do not have the need to move very often, a 32″ table will give more comfort to the client. However, this will also add more weight and bulk, making its portability less likely.

The final item to consider is weight. This is perhaps one of the most important factors when shopping for a portable massage table. This is another area in which the usage of the massage table comes in. If it is going to be used in one location with maybe an occasional house call, or if you intend on doing primarily house calls, where you need a lightweight table that you can carry around easily and will store in your car, the weight will vary.
