Hot Bed - A Simple Greenhouse

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

By Paul Wonning A hot bed is simply a cold frame which has bottom heat incorporated into it. The old fashioned way is to use manure for the heat source. The recipe for this is about one third organic matter, such as straw or dried leaves to about two thirds fresh manure. This can be horse, sheep, cow, rabbit or fowl. It is best to dig a pit to put this mixture into. Do not use cat or dog manure as these can contain parasites. Mix this thoroughly, water good and leave to sit for a few days. Turn it, to mix in more air. By now, decomposition should be occurring and it should be putting off heat. Lay the cold frame over the manure pit. Then put about an inch of soil on top of the manure mix. You now have an old fashioned hot bed, or you should. You can plant seedlings into the soil, or in bedding packs filled with potting soil. After germination, the seedlings can be transplanted and moved into a cold frame to grow further before setting out into the garden. A more reliable heat source for the hot bed is specially made heating cables. These can be found in garden centers and greenhouse supply houses. They generally run off standard 110 volts, have a thermostat which is preset at seventy degrees. Dig a shallow pit about three inches deep. Lay the cables in the pit in a pattern which allows even heat over the entire hot bed. You can uses landscape staples to fasten it down, or cut clothes hangers and bend into a staple shape. Do not allow the wires of the heat cable to cross, and make sure the outlet you use to plug it in has a ground fault circuit breaker installed in it. Cover this with about one inch of dirt, and then cover this with some fiberglass window screen. This is to prevent you from cutting the electric cable if you start digging in the hot bed with a trowel. Then cover the screen with about two inches of topsoil or potting soil. Again, you may plant directly in this, or in bedding packs. The hot bed can be turned into a propagation chamber to root cuttings in midsummer. A hot bed can be constructed the old fashioned way with fresh manure and organic matter, or with electric heating cables. Either way, it is an ideal structure to use to start seedlings in the spring and root cuttings in midsummer. 2006 Paul Wonning is the owner of Gardens and Nature.com a web site about gardening, hiking and other nature related topics.

Celebrex Law Suits Looking Like a Strong Case

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

By Dave Hoffman There is no data as yet that indicates how many former patients of Pfizer’s anti-inflammatory and painkilling drug are filing Celebrex law suits, but given the magnitude of the company’s perceived crime it is likely that there will be very many. And even a quick perusal of the alleged behaviour of the company regarding this drug seems to point to Celebrex law suits being something of a fait accompli. And yet there is no predicting the future where large multimillion dollar companies are concerned, though the numbers of Celebrex law suits expected to be filed will give an enormous power to the people. And this is a power that they deserve; having had self-determination harshly taken from them, when they took a drug that they were promised would only enhance their life. Pharmaceuticals wield enormous power, not only because of their huge monetary value, but because they have the power to toy with the hopes of the chronically ill. Anyone who has suffered from a long-term condition like arthritis, the condition that Celebrex was largely used to treat, or who has watched a loved one try to cope will understand that the availability of a drug that claims to help will be enthusiastically greeted. We entrust our health to pharmaceutical companies when we take their drugs, and they have a responsibility to protect it. This is a trust that Pfizer have badly lost. Pfizer announced in December 2004, after a clinical study exploring Celebrex’s effects on cancer, that their drug increased more than twofold a person’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease. But it seems that Pfizer were aware of this link previously, and yet persisted in marketing a product they knew to be unsafe. Unlike the makers of Vioxx, who voluntary withdrew their drug from the market once links between it and increased risk of heart attacks became established, Pfizer have continued to allow Celebrex to be sold, indirectly claiming that their product is safe for use by the general public. These are the arguments that it seem will end Celebrex law suits positively for the many people whose lives have been changed forever by the drug. It seems that Pfizer knowingly placed their customers at risk, violating the enormous trust between them and the ill. While these people desperately need the financial compensation that these law suits could provide in order to protect their health in the years to come, even if large pharmaceuticals win out in the courts, this will forever remain a moral victory for the former patients of Celebrex.

Put Down the Popcorn! After WLS a Definite Don’t

Friday, August 10th, 2007

By Kaye Bailey Brand new patients are not likely to ask if popcorn is a do or a don’t after gastric bypass. They don’t ask because the stomach is too tender and sensitive to even consider the intake of roughage like popcorn. But almost universally, you will find patients two or more years out have dipped into the popcorn bowl. My trespass in the popcorn bowl resulted in a constant state of low-grade dumping and a 5-pound weight gain in two weeks. I called my WLS counselor and she gave me a big NO! NO! NO! She said popcorn is a high carbohydrate food that rapidly dumps into the small intestine causing insulin to drop and dumping to result. Patients also tend to out-eat their pouch with popcorn because they usually consume a beverage as they eat popcorn creating a slurry that quickly moves through the stoma thus more can be consumed in a single sitting. Finally, she said, eating popcorn is mindless and not generally related to hunger. It is a perceived to be an acceptable return to snacking and leads to other snacking abuses. I stopped the mindless munching on popcorn and feel a whole lot better. But I do miss it and when I smell a fresh batch of microwave popcorn I am likely to lose my mind! But its just not worth it. For conventional dieters popcorn itself is a nutritious snack choice, containing more fiber than snacks made with refined flour. In the standard three-cup serving (the size of a small mixing bowl), air-popped popcorn contains just 93 calories and less than 1.5 grams of fat and 3.6 grams dietary fiber. Dietary fiber also known as roughage or bulk includes all parts of plant foods that your body can’t digest or absorb.

What Questions Should I Ask My High School Counselor?

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

By Christine Stoddard High school is the proverbial stepping stone from childhood to adulthood, often making it a confusing and, times an overwhelming, period. You’re bound to have questions about the next step in your life, but sometimes that most puzzling question is what to ask. Here are questions you should throw at your high school counselor the next time you wonder what you’ll do after high school graduation: 1.What upper-level classes are available at this school? Ask if your school offers Honors, Advanced, Gifted, Intensified, Advanced Placement (AP), and/or Internal Baccalaureate (IB) classes. Colleges love to see that you’ve taken a challenging course load. 2.What advanced classes do you think are appropriate for me? Most students should not take all upper-level classes every period of the day because they often amount to unmanageable amounts of homework and unneeded stress. You, your parents, and your counselor should decide what your strengths and weaknesses are to determine which advanced classes are right for you and which ones you should avoid. 3.What does the average student course load at this school look like? Remember, you want to stand out in the college admissions process, so try to take a course load that goes above and beyond what the average student at your school takes. If you attend a highly competitive high school, this may be very difficult, but after discussing the subject with your counselor, you and your parents should be able to lay-out a schedule that suits your academic needs. 4.How is my GPA calculated? Different schools have different methods of calculating grades; some use 4.0 scales, while others use 10.0 or even 12.0 scales; other schools don’t calculate grades at all. Find out if your school weights grades (i.e., giving extra quality points for taking upper-level classes). 5.What is my current GPA? What can I do to improve my GPA? If your high school operates on the traditional 4.0 scale, you should maintain a 3.0 GPA if you’re looking at less competitive colleges and at least a 3.5 GPA if you’re interested in top-tier colleges—but remember that grades aren’t everything. If you fall slightly short of a college or university’s accepted average GPA, great standardized test scores, outstanding extracurricular activities, and a stunning essay may be enough to get you accepted anyway. 6.Are most of the graduating seniors at this school college-bound? Where do many of them go to college? It’s to your advantage if most seniors at your school don’t go to college, but if you attend a highly competitive high school, you will have to work extra hard to get accepted by your top school. Finding out where most seniors at your school go to college will help you gauge your grades and standardized test scores, and help you determine if you’re a good candidate for the college most seniors at your school end up attending. 7.Do you think I am a good candidate for college? What can I do to improve my candidacy for college? Maybe your past scholastic performance indicates that college may not be the best option for you after high school, but if you work diligently this year to improve your grades, then you’re at least in the running for a junior or community college—and you can always transfer to a four-year college later on. 8.When should I take the SAT I and SAT IIs? Is this school a testing center? Ask your counselor everything you need to know about the SAT; while your score on the test is not the most important factor in determining your acceptance into a college, it is one of the most important factors, so you need to be prepared to take the test and do your best. 9.When can I take AP/IB tests? Does this school pay for them or must my family cover the cost of taking the exam? Most colleges expect you to take at least one AP/IB class before you graduate from high school if you school offers any, but the most important thing you can do when taking the class is registering for the test. Colleges often care more about your score on the test than your grade in the class, so study hard for the test. 10.Does this school have a dual-enrollment program with the local community college? When can I begin taking classes there? If possible, try taking a class at your local community college during the school day in lieu of a regular high school course, or after school, or over the summer—so long as you think you can handle the intensity of a college-level course. It’s a great to prove to colleges that you’re prepared for a challenge. 11.What scholarships are available for students like me? This is an essential question if you suspect your family will have even the slightest difficulty in paying for college—which is probably 98% of Americans. Don’t think that you can depend on government aid alone; your family probably doesn’t qualify for as much from Uncle Sam as you hope. Unless your annual family income is under $45, 000, your family will have to pay for something—unless you win some fabulous scholarships. So start doing your research early! 12.What careers do you think seem like a good fit for me? If you have any doubts about your vocational direction, this is a wise question to ask, but that doesn’t mean you have to follow your counselor’s advice. Remember, what your counselor says is only a suggestion. Ultimately, you can do whatever you want to do so long as you have the motivation. If it makes it easier, print these questions out and bring them to your counselor-and then don’t be afraid to ask away! After all, you have a right to know the answers!

Using Quotes In Your Scrapbook

Monday, August 6th, 2007

By Audrey Okaneko Part of what differentiates a scrapbook from a photo album is the journaling. Photo albums are just that, an album with page after page of photos. A scrapbook is a book containing photos that tell a story. This story is often told through personal journaling about the photos. Another way to help tell the story is to use quotes on your page, both within the layout and also as page titles. Quotes come in different forms. They are many website which have pages and pages of famous quotes. Often by flipping through the pages, youll find a perfect quote that explains exactly how you felt at the time the photo was taken. Or you may find a quote that perfectly describes the events surrounding the photo on the page. A great site to visit for quotes is: http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/ The other type of quotes are those quotes that happened during the taking of the photo. For example, I recently was on a guided tour. Several times our tour guide said something that I wrote down to use later, when creating my scrapbook. I knew that the words spoken by her were words I wanted to remember. I have a friend who sends out a holiday newsletter each year. The newsletter is only quotes from what her family has said during the past year. It truly is one of the funniest things to read. Listen to what others say when you are snapping photos. Very often the words spoken by others make wonderful additions to your scrapbook pages. Quoting others is not only a great way to journal about a photo, but its also an incredible way to remember someone special in your life. Be on the lookout for quotes and listen to what others say. Start adding these quotes to your scrapbook pages and youll develop a new appreciation for your scrapbooks. Audrey Okaneko has been scrapbooking for several years.

Domestic Merchant Account Options

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

By Shane Penrod A domestic merchant account may be the best option for your company. Thats because when you have an account managed by a company located in your country of residence, both you and the lender are familiar with laws and business codes that can impact the way your company operates. An offshore entity, in contrast, may be less familiar with and less observant of the rules that govern spending and payment transactions in your country. Your domestic merchant account may be beneficial in other ways, as well. When selecting a lender, you can choose one that you know something about. Perhaps you have had other dealing with this bank or institution, or you may know other business owners who maintain accounts there. It is likely, if you follow business news, that you have read something about the corporation and are aware of its standing in the professional community or the overall industry. Working with a company that you know and trust can help to build solid relationships that can blossom into additional promising directions. You may be able to secure other types of accounts or lending in the future if your merchant account turns out to be a rewarding experience for both parties. Applying for a domestic merchant account may be easier than doing business with an offshore company. You might be able to visit a local bank or one of its branches, or you might even know someone who works there. With a foreign bank, however, you probably wont know any of the employees, and you are not likely to get the chance of visiting in person. However, you can possibly apply online for both domestic and offshore merchant accounts, and communication with company representatives should not be a problem due to the latest technological innovations that put people in touch instantly with those around the globe. Fees for a domestic merchant account may be easier to understand when they are posted in the currency of your native land. Conversely, it may take some figuring to calculate profits and fees from currencies in other regions. However, many merchant account lenders do a good job of making this part easy, and will promptly process payments from other countries so that they enter your account in your homeland currency. Yet following the financial news in your own dollar, peso, or euro can be easier than trying to determine the value of currency you understand. If you do opt for an offshore merchant account provider, follow the financial news in that country via media like radio, television, print, or Internet to get a sense of how things are going and any impact your account might experience as a result. Obtaining a merchant services account is a terrific way to expand the way you do business. Accepting credit payments from customers in countries around the world can be a great way to increase profits while lowering costs. When weighing your options of partnering with a local or an international lender, check into the advantages of a domestic merchant account.

10 Tips to Help You Ace the Interview and Get the Job

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

By Helen Wilkie The interview is the “beauty contest” part of the job search process. Interviewers get to compare candidates by asking them similar questions and comparing the answers. Being just the right person for the job won’t help you if you blow the interview. Here are ten tips to help you come out of the interview with a job offer. 1. Show responsibility by arriving on time. Nothing sets you off on the wrong foot more than arriving late for an interview. No matter what reason you have, it won’t completely erase the impression that you are disorganized and irresponsible. 2. Show confidence through a strong handshake, a pleasant expression and an upbeat manner. Although you may not feel particularly confident, it’s important to look as if you are. Perception is everything when creating a good impression. Weak handshakes are a turnoff, so practice to make sure yours is strong. Sometimes we think we are smiling when we are not, so look in a mirror, smile and remember how your face feels when you are smiling. If you smile, extend your hand confidently and introduce yourself with energy, the interviewer will want to get to know you. 3. Show initiative by researching the company in advance. Even small organizations have websites, so there’s really no excuse for not knowing some basic information about the company before the interview. If you ask questions that could clearly have been answered through half-an-hour of browsing, you’ll come off as someone with no initiative or common sense. 4. Show your priorities by focusing on the job before asking about benefits and perks. When it’s your turn to ask questions, focus on aspects of the job and the company and even the department. There will be plenty of time to discuss benefits when you and the interviewer have agreed that you are a good candidate for the job. Asking about perks, benefits and even salary too early in the conversation marks you as too to be a team player. 5. Show composure under pressure by asking well thought-out, meaningful questions. When you browse the company’s website, think of what else you would like to know. What questions does the website bring up for you? Use your knowledge to ask meaningful questions, and practice in advance because it’s important not to stumble over the words. And, most importantly, listen to the answers. 6. Show your business savvy by connecting your own experience to the specific needs of the job. Your resume tells the interviewer about your background and experience. In the interview, you need to express how this experience will help you do well in this particular job. This is particularly important if you are young, just entering the workforce and don’t have much job experience. If, however, you have run a youth group, that may have sharpened your leadership skills. If you published the campus newspaper, you will certainly have communication skills. Talk about how these skills make you right for the job. 7. Show respect by never badmouthing former employers or colleagues. There is no exception to this rule, and breaking it will virtually always takes you right out of the running for any job. 8. Show energy through your body language and tone of voice. Sit up straight in the chair, lean forward slightly to listen as the interviewer speaks. Nod and smile appropriately to show you understand. Inject enthusiasm into everything you say. Nobody wants to hire someone who sounds bored with the job before he or she has even got it! 9. Show sophistication by dressing appropriately. Even if it’s Friday, interviews are not casual! Even if the workplace you want to enter is known to be casual, always dress slightly more formally for the interview. Pay special attention to groomingscuffed, unpolished shoes can send the silent message that you are careless in your appearance, and the interviewer might assume you will be careless in other ways too. 10. Show you want the job (if you do!) by asking for it. This sounds obvious, but you’d be amazed how often people forget about it. Remember the interview is also an opportunity for you to decide if you want to work for this company. If you do, don’t hesitate to say so.

Goodbye Diets and Hello Size You Long to Be

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

By Dr. Leslie Van Romer Now there is a simple, common sense eating and food plan for life that not only promotes easy weight loss, but also jumpstarts your energy and builds up your fitness and health. This health supporting and weight loss plan is not one of those latest and greatest yo-yo diets which boasts fast weight loss and hides the fact that once you resume your old eating habits, the weight returns and with a vengeance. Contrary to what you may think or what you have experienced in the past, just because you have always been chubby doesnt mean that you have to carry around those extra layers of fat for the rest of your life. If you follow this daily food plan, you will not only fill up on those foods that promote healthy weight loss, but will also provide you with the best nutrition for human health. What more could you want? Learn how to get down to your ideal weight while you nourish your body with the most power-packed foods that promote lifelong fitness and health and prevent life-threatening and life-robbing diseases. Furthermore, instead of thinking about what you have to give up or sacrifice, you think about what you get to add to, not subtract from, your daily food plan and meals. What foods do you get to add to your daily food plan? You get to add: 10 fruits a day 10 vegetables a day Whole grains, like whole oats and brown rice Whole beans, like kidney beans, black beans, lentils, split peas, garbanzo beans Raw, unsalted nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) and seeds (sunflower and pumpkin) Raw, fresh homemade fruit and vegetable juices Do 10 pieces of fruit sound like a lot of fruit to eat in one day? It may be a new concept to you, but it is doable and enjoyable. Do you have to eat that much fruit? Of course not. This is your plan, your goals, and your life. These are merely guidelines from which to build an eating plan for you that is both nutritious, slimming, and tasty. The fact is that on most days, I eat at least 10 pieces of fruit throughout the morning and stop eating fruit about 30 to 60 minutes before lunch. I also snack on fruit if I get hungry about 4:00 in the afternoon or in the evening a couple of hours after dinner if I eat dinner early enough. If I eat that much fruit in the morning, do I eat anything else for breakfast? Yes, you guessed it! How could I have room for anything else? I dont, and that is exactly the point. If you fill up on enough of the nutrient-dense, health-supporting foods, then you have no room for health-robbing foods that are high in fat, cholesterol, white sugar, white flour, chemicals, and are loaded with empty calories. With enough fruit in the morning, you are full and satisfied and lose your desire, and often times cravings, for anything else. If you get hungry in the later afternoon, reach for a piece or two of fruit instead of the usual snack food. No deprivation. No sacrifice. No hunger. Just effortless good nutrition. Lunch for me is almost always a very large, green, vegetable salad (the largest bowl in the stacked bowls of four) with a minimum of 10 different vegetables. And I actually count them just to make sure. Its like a game to me. See? There you have it. By 1:00, I have already eaten 10 fruits and 10 different vegetables, and I still have the rest of the day to fill up on more of the same good food. It is doable. Remember, if you change your thinking, then you can change your habits. Along with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, it is easy to add whole, cooked grains and beans to your daily diet. Fruit, nuts, and seeds make excellent snack foods. And now that you are full with only the most nutritious foods, lets explore which foods are not good for you and, in fact, deplete your body and your health. Once you fill up on the good-for-you foods, it is easier to avoid: All animal products (yes, all of them, whether they moo or baa or oink or cluck or flap their fins and tails)All dairy products (cows milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, and yogurt)The five deadly whites: o White sugar o White flour o White salt o White rice o White oils (all processed oils such as canola, corn, vegetable, safflower, soybean, rapeseed, and even olive oil) Refined, processed, canned, packaged, manmade, fast, and junk foods, snacks, and drinks Hydrogenated and trans fats (found in fried foods, margarines, mayonnaise, candy, chocolate, peanut butter, salad dressings, baked goods, cookies, chips and many packaged foods) Pop, coffee, and alcohol Remember the principles of learning new eating habits: Think addition, not subtraction. Think get to, not have to. Think daily deposits into your health account, not unlike deposits into your bank account. Think building up and preserving your health account by avoiding withdrawals. Think the gift of health, fitness, energy, inner joy, activity, fun, and purpose. Think reward; not sacrifice. Dr. Leslie Van Romer is a health motivational speaker, writer, and lifestyle coach.
