After a very cold week (-40's), Edan went to visit uncle JD on the farm when it was a bit warmer. He loved the little calves in their iglo huts. They are only a few days old. Some still have ear covers to protect against frost bite. Here uncle JD is preparing to give them some milk.
Whether you have adopted a new puppy or an adult dog, you'll find that there is a lot that you need to think about. From getting used to new schedules to simply learning more about each other, you'll find that you and your dog are going to be exhausted at the end of the day. At the end of the day, you'll retreat to your bed, but where does your dog go to sleep? Far too many people believe that their dogs can sleep anywhere, but while this is true, keep in mind that it is true for humans as well! To get the best rest that you can, you are going to need to be comfortable and supported, and to make sure that your dog gets good rest and stays in good shape; you are going to have to consider a good bed for your dog.
If you have a dog that is a young puppy or even an older dog with a bad habit, you'll find that a good chew proof dog bed is going to be ideal. If your dog chews on their bed and manages to swallow some of the filling that is inside it, he could become very sick. When you want to make sure that your dog is comfortable, you may also be interested in looking into a design looks a lot like a cot and will allow some air between the sleeping dog and the ground.
Remember that your dog is going to feel the temperature in much the same way that you do, and that should be kept in mind when you are looking a purchasing your new puppy a bed. If you live in a place that is a little bit colder, for example, why not consider puffy cushions or donut shaped beds that will put some warm air between you and your do? If you live in a warmer climate and are worried about your friend getting warmer in the summer, look for a bed with a cooling pad in it.
There is no one bed that is right for every dog. Remember that every dog is different, and that there are many factors that you are going to need to keep in mind when you are thinking about getting it a bed. For instance, how old is your dog, and how big is he? How big will he get and does he have any joint or bone problems that might make lying down a problem? Consider your dog's breed and make sure that you think about what that might mean later on down the line.
Take some time and make sure that you consider what your options are going to be. Make sure that your dog is comfortable and that he has a warm place to sleep at night; this can make a lot of difference to your pet's mood and energy!
You've heard about Drug Resistant Bacteria, fears of Pandemic Flu, Spreading T.B., and Staph-Infections that shut down hospital wards! It's time for you to consider...
The need for Natural Antibiotics and Anti-Virals grows greater every year. Pharmaceutical antibiotics are failing to save over 100,000 patients annually. Many bacteria have become antibiotic resistant.
Plants over their millions of years have developed extremely complex multiple Anti-parasitic, Antibiotic and Anti-viral compounds for their own protection. We can use these plants in several ways to defend ourselves against dangerous microbes.
In October of 2004 The American public was in a near panic about Flu Season. A British company producing flu vaccine had been shut down by the British government.
Suddenly the American public was informed there would be less than 50% of the needed vaccine for children and the elderly, and those with impaired immune systems. Doctors at big city hospitals were saying they expect a crisis and were "praying that this will be a mild flu season."
In the previous year over 30,000 people died due to the flu. 150 Million Americans were infected. 200,000 were hospitalized. That only counts deaths due to the flu. Over 100,000 died due to the failure of pharmaceutical antibiotics. There's no telling whether this or next winter could be much worse. As flu season abates other potentially terrible epidemics may come with the warmer seasons.
The general public hopes that flu shots can save them. But Dr. J. Anthony Morris (former Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the FDA) said, "There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway."
Vaccines are often rendered obsolete because viruses mutate constantly developing resistance.
The vaccine offered to you is a partly killed copy of last year's virus which hopefully will stimulate your immune system. Mixed with that shot are several very toxic chemicals including Mercury, Aluminum, Formaldehyde, Carbolic Acid, and Ethylene Glycol. The first two are responsible for serious nervous system damage and may be the reason for the rising rates of Alzheimer's Disease in the elderly and Autism in the young. Some doctors insist it is!
Bacteria change and adapt constantly, and then share their newly developed resistance with other bacteria rendering many antibiotics ineffective. Plant antibiotics are far more effective than pharmaceuticals. My complete reports explain why.
There are natural plant products you can apply in various ways which may prevent the flu or speed recovery from it. Many herbal antibiotics can possibly cure other diseases too. Cornel University researchers proved that Onion, Oregano, Garlic, and All Spice will kill almost any bacteria in their presence. Using these products liberally in food can benefit you in many ways.
Additionally you can buy several other herbs that have been used for centuries and are now proven in lab studies to be very complex and effective natural antibiotics and anti-virals. Ω
we went camping in Enchanted Rock State Park. Weather forecast said lows of 40F. We hiked out to our site at dusk, 2 miles later, set camp in hurricane style winds (about 23mph) then crawled inside just as the sun was completely down. We each had ear warmers, fleece hoodie, gloves, wool socks, & sweat pants-- we wore it all. Had to unzip or individual sleeping bags just so the dogs could cuddle under with us- for al of our sakes. It was miserably cold. This is the morning after. TAKE EXTRA BLANKETS TO ENCHANTED ROCK!! IT'S WIIIIIINDY!!!
Me having a go at Don Grolnick's piano intro on Smile from David Sanborn's Straight to the Heart album. Probably not 100% accurate since I figured it out by ear, but still close I think. I'm playing this on a Nord Electro 3 73 through a Behringer K3000FX amp. The sound on the recording is somewhat harsh probably due to the fact that I used a little digicam, but in 'real life' the Nord piano's sound a lot warmer!
There has been a lot of controversy over Jessica Seinfeld's new cookbook Deceptively Delicious. The whole idea of the book is showing you away to get your kids to eat their vegetables by hiding them in kid friendly foods. There are a lot of people out there that say this is wrong, even "sneaky". That by doing this we as parents are teaching our kids that it is okay to sneak around and hide things. But on the other hand you have the parents that are totally for it, because after trying everything they still are not able to get their child to eat vegetables. We all know that we have to have our fruits and vegetables to be healthy, and our jobs as parents is to make sure that our kids are as healthy as can be.
So I know you are wondering am I for it or against it? Well, for me I am completely for it. I have a daughter and I make sure that she eats as organic and natural foods as I can find. She takes her whole foods vitamins, and is very active. But one day she just decided that she was no longer going to eat her vegetables. And when I say one day I really mean that, one day she ate them and the very next she said she wasn't going to anymore.
I had tried everything to get her to start eating her vegetables again, but had absolutely no luck. I had then decided that I was going to make what we call in our house a shake. Which is a bunch fruits and vegetables thrown into a blender and made drinkable. She really loves these. At first I could not let her know that I was putting veggies in it or she would have absolutely nothing to do with it. But after awhile she started telling me what color she wanted in it (i.e. orange for carrot, green for spinach...etc). This was great, and I did not have to really worry about her having too much because there is nothing that is not healthy in it. We still make a shake everyday (a blender full) and she will drink it through out the day.
Even though I had found a way for her to get her fruits and vegetable servings, I still wanted to try to figure out how to get her to eat her vegetables with her meals, but she still was having nothing to do with this, and she even knew that there were vegetables in her shakes. I was talking to everyone I knew that had kids and asked her doctor who just said you have to make sure she is getting them but had no advice on how to do this. I was so much at a loss.
And then I saw it I was sitting down watching Oprah and she had Jessica Seinfeld on and was talking about her new cookbook "Deceptively Delicious". I must say that it really got my attention. She shows you a way to put or "hide" the vegetables in the foods that your child is already eating. I really must say that this was the best thing to be hearing.
Now I know a lot of you really do not approve of this method, but there are a lot of us out there who just do not know what else to do. And just as you feel you are doing what's best for your child so do we. I really do think that this is definitely a personal decision that each parent has to make based off of who their child is and their circumstances. I really do know that this is not for everyone, but for me it has worked wonderfully.
I have been doing this for a little over a year now, and I will continue to do this until she starts eating them on her own. She does now know that there are vegetables in her food. She eats them with no problem, I however can't get her to eat them by themselves but for now that is okay.
The best thing I think that I could have done with this is that I let her help. She sees everything that is going into her food and I let her make the decision on what color of vegetable she wants in her food today. She absolutely loves to cook and bake and has no problem putting vegetables in her food. I know that not every child would be like this, but you would really be amazed at the kind of reaction you would get if you actually let your child have a little voice in what they are eating or how it is being prepared.
Don't be afraid to just ask your child why they won't eat vegetables, but make sure you really listen to them when they answer. There may be an actual reason as to why. In my case there wasn't she just decided that they were big people food and when she gets big she will eat them.
This is what works for my family.
We walk in the door and the whole class turns to look at us. I point to my seat and the seat next to me where David sits. "Thats David" I whisper to Nick. I go over and sit next to David. He winks at me and I roll my eyes. "I see youre in a good mood." He whispers in my ear. I turn to him. "Whats it matter to you?" "Well normally youd be all upset about me bothering you."He looks over at Nick. "Now you spend time with him. Youre magically better." "Youre point?" "I think you know what my point is. You fall too fast Selena. You know whats going to happen to Nick. It always happens" I grip the front of my desk. "He wont end up a jerk like you, David." "You just met the kid; youre already standing up for him?" "He knows what happened with you and me. He knows Miley can turn even" My voice falters for a moment."Even the nicest guys to jerks. It wont happen to him." "Thats what you say. You cant decide for him Sel." I feel a pain in my chest when he calls me by my nickname. "Im not deciding anything for him David. You dont know anything about Nick." I hiss. "Okay, okay. But dont say I didnt warn you when your little boyfriend ends up in the hands of Miley." "Hes not my boyfriend!" I say quickly. He smirks and turns back to the teacher. I feel my face getting warmer. Calm down, I tell myself, dont let him get to you. "Okay Nick. Why dont you switch spots with David?" The teacher says. Davids mouth drops open. He turns to me and I stick my tongue out at him. He rolls his eyes ...

Some 900 million miles from the Sun in the outer regions of our Solar System orbiting the planet Saturnlies a mysterious world. Enceladus is enveloped in ice.

I had just woken up and the morning seemed to be a quiet one. The morning had dragged for me. Maybe because I was excited for what's to come. I glanced at the calender for the hundredth time. The date circled in red hadn't moved an inch. I didn't expect it to, but a girl can hope. Time seemed to fly everyday until I really wanted it to. Months had passed and as winter turned into spring the weather has started to get warmer. And the beaches more crowded. As spring break rolls around I know I'm that much closer to seeing Joe. And his brothers. Of course, I can't forget them. And this time they are bringing their girlfriends. Well, I mean Nick is bringing his girlfriend and kevin is bringing his fiance. Anyway, it means that they are coming. And even better, they are staying for two whole weeks. The re-rented the house they had this summer. Their parents would come for a day or two with Frankie, but other than that they were on their own for a vacation in the sun. Now, I'm fairly certain everyone here is under the impression that Joe and I never talk anywhere but letters. Thats not exactly true. There's not really a need to be talking 24/7 so its not always necessary to text or call because when letters come almost every day there really isn't much time in between. We live and hour or so away from each other. Mail doesn't necessarily travel very far. On the off chances when mail is either delayed or one of us is behind on writing, we text, or call, or email. It's just not a ...
He leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips. It could have pretty much melted all the snow that had fallen that morning. We got up and he lifted me to my feet and I noticed that we weren't being watched. Thank goodness even though I said what I said, I wasn't really ready for all the questions just yet. We went inside and got ready for some brunch. We all sat around and ate and then my brilliant sister looked over at me. Kelsey: Oh my gosh, isn't it New Years Eve today April: wow Kelsey, welcome to the last day of the year....where were you....oh that's right cloud 9 Kevin: what's wrong with cloud 9 when I'm on it We all laughed at Kevin's stupid joke and started to clear the table. I can understand why no one remembered what today was since it was kind of a secluded place up here. I went upstairs with Aiden and got him into something a little warmer and realized I didn't bring anything nice to wear for New Years...I guess I wasn't really planning on staying here this long or through the holiday. I went to Kelsey to ask her if she had anything and she said she wasn't really going to dress up since it was all gonna come off soon after wards anyways. Ugh why does she think I wanna hear that. As the day went on we did some more fun stuff outside until it got way to cold to be out there. We came inside and got into some dry clothes and made some hot chocolate. We sat and watched some movies that we had brought. We made some pizza so we could eat while we were watching ...
© By Anastatia Martinez In the darkness of night I long for your touch For you to hold me tight Hearing your heartbeat come in rhythm with mine Fearing that together, this is our last time Feeling the warmth of your breath on my skin Growing warmer as the lights go dim Temptation is urging at my thoughts Knowing this is where all innocents is lost Saying I love you is caught in my throat Drowning in my feelings You keep me a float. Praying that this night will never end Knowing that our faces, we'll never see again Regretting all the fights and silly arguments Ready to take it back in one second Wanting more time The one thing we can't have Leaving each other seems like an unforgivable crime Knowing that forever I will always be yours And you will be mine What choice do we have? Our lives we will live This one crime we will have to forgive Saying goodbye is hard to do There's just thing left to say As I whisper in your ear I love you.
An audio and pictorial description showing the (interim) KC Breed Standard for the Tibetan Mastiff in the UK, as amended November 2004. THE TIBETAN MASTIFF-KC INTERIM BREED STANDARD (as amended 1 Nov. 2004) This strong, well built dog is found in the foothills of the Himalayas and the borders of Tibet. He is primarily a guard dog, used to protect the flocks from preying wildlife and the home from intruders. A powerful dog, without the massive frame of the Mastiff, he is well coated with a bushy tail. Usually, black, or black and tan, he can also be found in gold, and shades of grey. In his native environment he is very distrustful of strangers, and can be quite ferocious. However, dogs bred in Europe and America do not generally display these tendencies. GENERAL APPEARANCE: Large, powerfully built, slightly longer than high. Well boned and muscled, never light but always agile. Impressive head provides a noble, dignified look, enhanced by a mane, which is more pronounced in males, balanced by a well feathered tail carried over the back. CHARACTERISTICS: A loyal companion, and guardian. Slow to mature. TEMPERAMENT: Independently minded, aloof and protective. Calm and patient. May be wary of strangers. HEAD AND SKULL: Broad, heavy and strong. Skull large, with strongly defined occiput and marked stop. Length from nose to stop equal or slightly less than length from stop to occiput. Muzzle fairly broad, well filled, blunt, and square viewed from all sides. Broad, black nose ...

Only Hope(A JB Cinderella Story): Chapter 34 [Boxes Hurt]
0 comments Posted by Vanderkooi at 3:00 PMWe just looked at each other for a few minutes and before I know it, he was kissing me. It was a very romantic kiss. He held my cheek in one hand and had his other hand on the back of my neck. My arms found their way around his neck as we deepened the kiss. After a few minutes of kissing, he pulled away, smiled at me and kissed my nose. "You are just the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen." I blushed furiously when he said that. Good thing it was dark out here. I looked down, embarrassed and he took a finger and lifted my chin up. "Whats wrong?" I smiled and kissed his nose. "Nothing, hun. Im just embarrassed, thats all." "Embarrassed? Why do you have to be embarrassed? Its the truth! And not one person should say otherwise." I gave him a kiss on the lips, we intertwined our fingers and then we started walking down the path. The moon was out, there was a slight breeze that just made your nose cold and red and the park was silent. We walked by the peaceful pond that showed the reflection of the moon and smiled. "Are we there yet?" I asked after a few minutes of walking. I looked at him and he shook his head. "Not yet. We are almost there, though." I nodded and then gave a shiver. He immediately stopped and looked at me. "You ok or are you getting cold?" I looked at him and smiled. "Im fine. Just got a chill, thats it." He looked at me, obviously not believing me, but he didnt press it on. He put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him and I instantly felt ...

This article will discuss about candidiasis in the ear. This idea is based on a question from a friend of mine. She has a dog, a little Yorkie, who keeps on getting recurrent yeast infection in her ears. This causes violent head shaking and she is miserable. The vet gave her Miconazole Nitrate Lotion 1%. These drops work very well, but the yeast returns. She is looking for some natural remedies for her dog's candida, something to prepare to drop in the ears.
In my opinion, you might put Oregano oil on a q-tip and go around her ear. Try mixing one drop in little water and mix with her food too. It will not hurt her. However, do not use straight from the bottle because it will sting her. Dilute it first. I have never used it on an animal but this will also help to warm her, which can't hurt.
Health stores have it but make sure you do not get wild oregano. It is more potent, so try to get fresh oregano. You can make your own olive oil and fresh oregano and let it soak, though it is easier to just buy it.
You can also use grape fruit seed. You can get it in any health food store. I would only use two drops in about half a glass of warm water. Mix well, and when you think it is all clear up, do it for a few more days. I think the Candida comes back because we feel good.

Chapter 13 Tears dont fall The sun was now rising above the trees. The air started to become warmer. The birds chirped welcoming the new day. The woods were filled with a busyness as all the creatures started their days. Far away but close enough to faintly hear cars started to drive past. Josh stood still, tears stained his face. The rope was rubbing into the flesh of his wrists as they restricted his hands behind him. His waist was chained to the trunk of a tree, he couldnt go any where. The clouds in the sky slowly began to stir chasing each other across the sky that began to turn blue. The sun reflected off of the earth adding a new glow to frost that started to melt. Nick looked up at the blurred sky threw his tear filled eyes. He lay at the bottom of a hole that Josh had helped him dig. He felt Davids warm breath on his neck and in his ear. Nick shivered. Nick shifted to try to make himself more comfortable. Yet there was nothing comfortable about laying in your grave before you were even dead. David: I love you. David got off of Nick and put his clothes back on. Nick sat up and pulled his knees into his bare chest. He slowly rocked himself back and forth to warm himself, his clothes were thrown back into the hole and he quickly gathered them and pulled his pants and shirt back on, he stayed in the hole ...
A sinus infection is an acute or chronic disease which affects the integrity of the nasal sinuses. Sinuses are very important elements and their role is to protect the brain against impacts, to reduce the weight of the skull and to improve the resonance of the voice.
Sinusitis appears when the nasal membrane gets affected by pollutants, cold or dry air and becomes inflamed. Secondary the cilia will slow down their movements, and mucus will be mass produced in order to eliminate the accumulated bacteria. Because cilia are not working properly the mucus will be trapped in the sinuses and cause a local infection. Sometimes even the fact that the secretions are thick can cause sinusitis. In rare cases a tumor can block the sinuses causing a local obstruction.
The infection of the sinuses can last a month and it is known as acute sinusitis or can last more than three months and then it is known as chronic sinusitis. The sub acute sinusitis is situated somewhere in between, meaning that is lasts from one month to less than three months.
There are people who are exposed at this affection due to their profession. Those who work in conditions which expose them to infections like health care personnel, those who work with irritants like smoke, petrol and pain fumes, perfumes and different sprays are also at risk of developing sinusitis.
Those who smoke a lot and who have a weakened immune system are more exposed to sinusitis and infections than others.
A person who has fever, headaches, facial pain and pressure, colored nasal discharge, and even problems with the vision for more than 10 days must go to the doctor and ask for a treatment because left untreated, sinusitis can cause pneumonia, ear infection, bronchitis and even bone infections.
The doctor will try to see if there is redness and swelling of the nasal passages, tenderness at percussion and swelling in the eye area. With the help of a rhinoscope the doctor will want to see if the sinuses are obstructed or not. Sometimes he might even perform an aspiration to collect samples of the material that blocks the sinus and see what kind of bacteria populates this material.
The therapy consists out of medical treatment and home care remedies. They are meant to clear up the infection, open and drainage the sinuses, and reduce as possible the intensity of the symptoms while reassuring prevention to recurrences of the infection.
At home the patient is recommended to drink warm fluids, to apply wet bandages on the face and to make steam inhalations. The doctor will prescribe the patient oral decongestants, and mucus thinning agents. Besides this anti-biotherapy is needed in order to stop the infection that has caused sinusitis. The doctor might try more types of antibiotics until he finds the right one as he can not know which bacteria has caused your infection. Also, cortisone sprays might be helpful as they improve the drainage of the sinuses. Treatment must be followed at least 10 days otherwise the sinus infection might come back after a few days.
For those in whom the treatment is not effective surgery is the last option. This surgery lasts two or three hours and it consists out of straightening the septum, and opening the sinuses in order to improve the drainage. Hospitalization is needed a day or two and the recovery period might last up to two weeks. Even if you have had surgery this does not mean you can not have sinusitis again, but the advantage is that if you develop it again you will be able to treat it more easily.
The easier thing is to prevent sinusitis, not to treat it. You can prevent sinusitis by giving up smoking, by treating any colds as soon as they install, by cleaning up the nose gently when needed and by drinking a lot of warm liquids.

Enjoy! (part 1 of 4) ***the next weekend*** MILEYS POV It was hot today. Now that summer was coming I knew it was going to get warmer but damn this was crazy. It was weird the past week nick and I had been almost inseparable. Whether its hanging out at my house or his or the hospital or going out for ice cream after school then swimming, we were always together. It was as if we had been best friends all of our lives. Demi, Selena, Joe, and Kevin were also inseparable. Now that we only had a week left of school it was finals and we had taken all our finals ahead of time so we rarely went to school. Luckily for the boys all their credits transferred over from their last school. Nick called earlier this morning and told me to be ready by 4 since he was gonna take me to the carnival down by the lake. I guess we were going to meet with everyone else when we got there. I was having the hardest time figuring out what to wear. This never used to be hard for me but for some odd reason tonight it was hard. I finally decided on a flowy white dress and some matching boots to go along with the belt ( pretend the heels are boots lol tinypic.com ) then I took a good look in the mirror and thought my legs looked too big. Ugh was I ever going to settle on something? Before I could even think of changing I heard the door bell ring. I asked my dad if he could answer it and im assuming he did. For the next minute I stood in front of my closet trying to figure out what else there was, until I ...
Ear wax exists to protect your ear drums from dust, bacteria, insects, and the tongues of amorous drunks. Normally, there is no need to get rid of it.
Ear wax is produced by glands in the ear canal. So long as the ear canal remains a moist, the wax will remain the consistency of a warm candle. But just as a marching band can have too many tubas, the ear canal can build up too much wax.
Here's how you discover a build-up of excess wax: ear pain, tinnitus (ringing or other phantom sounds), difficulty hearing, balance problems, and/or temporary deafness after you've submerged your head in water.
What Causes Excessive Ear Wax?
The presence of ear wax can be irritating and inconvenient, but the only real danger it poses is that it could shelter and incubate an ear infection. For most people, the wax sheds itself when you sleep and when you move your jaw. Presumably, big eaters and people who talk a lot have fewer problems.
Some people are more prone to yellow waxy buildup. Wax builds up due to overactive glands and aging. People with narrow ear canals, charmingly hairy ear canals, inflammatory skin conditions, or those who work in very dusty environments can also have problem ear wax. Sometimes it can be prevented through diet. Supposedly, a diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids will discourage wax buildup. Omega 3 fatty acids are found in things like avocados, ground flax seed, walnuts, and certain fish, like salmon and albacore tuna. Pasteurized dairy products have been shown to have an irritating effect on some people's ears, and this could produce a waxy reaction.
How to Remove Ear Wax
The more wax you get, the better it is to get rid of the stuff regularly to forestall any infections. When you shower, tilt your head slightly and briefly to let a little hot water run in one ear. Tilt your head to the other side to let the water escape. Do the same with the other ear. This may heat the wax to the point where it melts and runs out of your ears on its own. You may need nothing more.
But the stuff could still continue to build up. Fear not, there's more you can do, assuming you don't have a perforated ear drum, something your doctor would apprise you of after sticking a little scope in your ears.
If you're too much of a cheapskate to go to the pharmacy and purchase some ear drops, you can heat olive oil to body temperature (no hotter!) and put a few drops in each ear. Use a bit of cotton to keep the stuff from running out and staining your collar. Do this for three or four days, then use an ear syringe or a large hypodermic syringe (without the needle, of course) to flush your ears with tepid water. Make sure you don't get the tip of the syringe too close to your eardrum, which could make a blast of water dangerous.
At the drugstore, you can purchase a kit containing ear drops, an ear syringe, and a basin for catching the drainage. If you don't know how to squeeze an ear syringe by yourself or are afraid of damaging your ear drum, go to the doctor's office, where a nurse will clean your ears for you. They love doing things like that. If it's still not budging, they may try to suction out the stubborn wax. Alternatively, the doc may simply go in with a little hook and pull it out. Don't try that at home, people.
Warning!: Do not use Q-tips to clean your ears! In fact, don't so much as stick your finger in there, as good as that may feel, because any of those things could damage your eardrum. At a minimum, they will be counterproductive and only push the wax deeper into the ear canal.
Ear Wax Candles?
Ear candling as a technique for removing ear wax is a practice that has been traced back over 4500 years ago. It is still practiced today, much to the horror of otolaryngology specialists who consider it dangerous. It must be performed by a specialist using special "candles" which are cotton sheets that have been soaked with beeswax in the shape of a cone. The cone is placed in your ear and set afire to burn slowly. After a some time, the specialist extinguishes the fire. Heat convection supposedly wicks out whatever wax, debris, and microorganisms have lodged in your ears, and the flame conveniently turns the exudates into vapor. There is no pain involved. The treatment may be completed by putting drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ears. Proponents claim that a candling every six months can relieve not only ear pain, reduced hearing, and balance difficulties, but also sinus conditions and migraines. Opponents claim that a treatment every six months is merely an effective way of cleaning out your wallet.

The Life We Never Wanted - e.15 - {The Crying, The Beating}
0 comments Posted by Vanderkooi at 8:55 AMNick started the bath water, and I dimmed the lights. He looks back at me, with a cute grin on his face and winked. I felt my cheeks get warmer, and I knew I was blushing. He laughed and walked over to me, holding my waist, and kissing me softly. His lips are just incredible, like the rest of him and his existance. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and played with the ends of his hair. I felt his lips curve into a smile, still pressed on mine, and I couldn't help but hold in one. "Baby, come on," He slowly pulled back and took my hand. He laid back in the tub and pulled me between his legs. I rested my head at his chest, hearing his steady heart beat. His fingers went through my hair, and his right hand rubbed my chest, causing full relaxation on my half of this. I closed my eyes and let out a shallow breath. He pressed his lips lightly at the back of my neck, and I felt them curve into another smile. "You drive me crazy," he whispered in my ear. I blushed a little and looked back at him. "Is that so?" I asked, with a grin on my face. "Yes, it is," he said with a smile. ~~~ We got out of the bath and held hands as we walked back to my room. We laughed when we saw how messed up the sheets were. "Were we that crazy last night?" I asked him. "Kinda. . . you were sooo rough!" He laughed, "But I, without a single doubt, loved it." He kissed me, then started getting dressed. I did the same and sat on my bed, waiting for him to finish. "Babe? Can I ask you something?" He sat ...
He leaned in closer to her ear and whispered, "Will you be my girlfriend?" Claira looked up at Joe again; she almost didnt believe it that she had to check his face to see if this was a joke. When their eyes met she anxiously pressed her lips to his. Looks like its a yes Joe... Better not screw this one up, cause I have a feeling that if you do, she wont be willing to come crawling back ;) While Bella was off in the bathroom trying to clean herself up, Ally decided to take Nick somewhere and try to get him to open up to her. She wanted to know who this Bella girl is and what was going on with them, and most importantly, she wanted to know how Nick felt about her. She sat down beside Nick who was still wrapped in towels. He was still wet but he had stopped shivering. Ally: Feeling warmer? Nick: Yea the water is freezing Ally: It was really nice of you to jump in after that Bella girl Nick: Well I wasnt gonna let her drown Ally: Who is she anyway? Nick: Just a friend I guess Ally could tell Nick was holding back, the topic of Bella probably made him feel akward. Claira had told Ally that he was once in love with this girl, and Ally had the feeling of discomfort whenever Nick tensed up. Ally: Nick its just me you can tell me what happened Nick: I dont want you to judge me Ally: Im probably the least judgmental person you will ever meet Nick: Its pretty bad though Ally: Try me Nick sighed and began to tell Ally the story.

Like humans, dogs are also prone to allergy. The article bellow discusses the reasons, symptoms, and some treatments for dog allergy.
Dog Allergy Reasons-
1. Inhaling airborne pollens and molds.
2. Some dogs are allergic to few food varieties also.
3. Dogs having weak immune system cat allergens easily.
4. Heat allergy during summer
Dog Allergy Symptoms-
1. Itching rigorously all body parts, this can continue for weeks.
2. Chewing tail end
3. Licking paws- symptomatic of food allergy
4. Vomiting and frequent gas
5. irritation and discomfort like barking at everybody
6. Ear infections and sneezing
7. Loss of fur due to scratching
8. Visible skin sores on the animal
9. Loose stool or diarrhea tendency
10. Smelling gas
Dog Allergy Treatment-
1. Diet rich with omega 3-fatty acids
2. Flea medications and cleaning the house of fleas and mites
3. HEPA approved heating and cooling system to clean the air of airborne pollens
4. Medications to improve the immune system
5. Food supplements
6. Oatmeal bath for itching
7. Bath with warm water
8. Using medicated shampoos and soaps available at any chemist shop
9. Solutions that will moisturize the dog skin
10. If dog is allergic to proteins, then switch to hypo - allergenic foods.
11. Maintain cleanliness of environment at home and especially the area where the pet's habitat.
12. Using antihistamines on recommendation by vet only
It takes weeks to determine the exact cause for allergies in dogs. Not all reasons work at once and more than one symptoms can be visible. For a start, if the dog readily loses weight and appetite, it is reason enough for concern. Visit a vet immediately and get blood tests done. Further, it takes weeks for pets to recover completely. With simple home care treatments and medical treatment given by vet, symptoms of allergy will reduce considerably over time.
Minnesota winters are not for wimps. Yesterday our outdoor thermometer read 32 degrees below zero. The wind chill was 40-50 degrees below. When it gets dangerously cold like this, radio and television stations remind parents to cover their childrens' faces.
Adults reach in the back of their closets for coats they have almost forgotten. Nobody comments about the storm coat that is decades old, the hat with ear flaps, or obsolute military gear. Staying warm is the only thing on our minds. I wear so many layers of clothing I can hardly walk.
But layering did not prevent winter itch -- rough, dry, cracked skin, and bleeding fingers. Winter itch happens because skin has dried out. Your skin scales if winter itch is untreated. The Medical News Today website tells how to combat winter itch in its article, "Tired of Scratching? How to Weather 'Winter Itch.'" According to the article, "Cold weather wreaks havoc on our skin."
The Northwestern health Sciences University has posted tips for treating winter itch on its website. In the article, "Winter Itch and Other Serious Skin Conditions," the University says the skin condition affects people of all ages, even those without skin problems. "Dry skin can also activate more serious skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis," the site points out. Nobody wants winter itch and these steps help to prevent it.
* Limit hot water. Long showers and baths remove natural oils from your skin. Taking shorter showers or baths will help your skin retain these oils.
* Use soap with lotion. Rather than using the deodorant soap you used in the summer, use soap with lotion in it.
* Add bath oil. According to a Mayo Clinic article, "Relief for Itchy Winter Skin," a little bath oil may help to replenish natural oils.
* Pat yourself dry. When you step out of the shower or tub, pat yourself dry gently. Rubbing your skin may activate itching again and make winter itch worse.
* Humidify the house. Buy a humidifier and put it in the driest part of your house. To reduce mold formation and build-up, clean it regularly, according to the manufacturer's directions.
* Wear rubber gloves. Cracked fingers hurt and can take a long time to heal. Wearing rubber gloves when you do the dishes or clean the bathroom keeps your fingers from getting cracked.
* Use food preparation gloves. Have you ever counted how many times you wash your hands when preparing food? Every wash wash chaps your hands more. Wearing gloves helps to prevent this.
* Get long underwear. In Minnesota, long underwear is a stable and most people have several sets. Buy at least two, one to wear and one to wash.
* Layer clothing. Wearing several layers of clothing -- long underwear, long sleeved shirt, and sweater -- helps you stay warm and chap-free.
* Cover your face. Wearing a scarf or ski mask over your face in sub-zero weather helps to prevent facial chapping.
* Moisturize, moisturize. Before you go to bed, moisturize your skin with nonalcohol lotion. Rub it into your heels, hands, and other chapped parts of your body.
Despite winter itch, I love living in Minnesota. When the first snow falls and covers dirty places, I am amazed. When ice coats the trees and makes them look like glass, I gasp. When moonlight reflects off the snow and turns the dark night bright, I am in awe. Winter itch is nothing compared to nature's beauty.
A lot of runners are guilty of letting the weather dictate their running schedules. Of all excuses to break a very successful running program the weather has to top among them. If you've been running for a while you sure will be able to relate to this.
Cold weather can be among the most de-motivating factors that some runners face. Have you ever thought how your running program could be much more successful if you could force yourself to run through cold weather? Read on to find out!
Warm Up
Warming up indoors before actually going out and facing the cold is a great way to make you more immune to the cold. Some experience runners are able to run in temperatures of tens below zero by warming up comprehensively in heated indoor locations.
TO do this you can stretch and sprint for short distances. You can also do a little calisthenics or anything to make you break into a sweat. This can do wonders for your resistance to the cold. This is so effective that you'll feel at least 10 degrees warmer.
Use Appropriate Clothes
It is hard to believe that some runners insist on wearing skimpier gear whatever the temperatures are outside. This is especially true with more experienced runners who have fallen in love with a certain type of running apparel that they could not imagine running in anything else.
Every now and then I see some hardened runners tough it up and run with sleeveless shirts and racing shorts in close to zero temperatures. This may work for you but remember that repeated exposure to the cold is not exactly healthy. Be careful of your body and run with sufficiently insulated jogging pants and thicker sweat shirts.
Use Support Accessories
We have fellow runners who are faced with winters so extreme that they may as well be in Antarctica. Yet they still run! Talk about motivation! You will notice that many of them wear bean caps, ear warmers and gloves. We all hate stuff weighing us down when running but these accessories will make running in cold safer.
Change Quickly
A secret that many cold weather runners attest to is to change immediately after your running sessions. Do not wait for your sweat to dry down or for your body to stop sweating. If you have to, bring two sets of clothiers. The first set right after your run and the second one you wear right after the first set absorbs most of your swear or starts to feel itchy.
Don't Imagine the Cold
As with everything else in the world, plodding through iced roads and resisting the frosty wind is a matter dealt within your mind. Never stop and think about how cold it is and just focus on your goals. Thinking about your goals miles for the week or anything to keep you motivated during those first few meters is the best way for you to beat the cold.
If you have the extraordinary ability to make yourself feel stuff you think about then it is a great advantage. Some people suggest to practice feeling warm during cold runs. Sooner or later the temperatures will not matter anymore.
Cold weather and even ice need not ruin your running program. All runners have faced this dilemma and few consistently are able to tough it out and just do it. Use the tips mentioned above to help you slowly but surely stop making excuses about running outside when it's cold.
The popularity of a digital camera is due in part to the vivid, life like photographs that it can produce. The lens of a camera is the key to creating these clear, sharp images. However, dust, fingerprints, scratches, and other dirt and smudges can destroy contrast, produce pictures that appear out of focus, and eventually can result in the expense of having to replace the lens, or camera, altogether.
Obviously, proper care can help extend the life of the lens and assure better quality images. Following just a few basic tips can go a long way in assuring a digital camera lens does not fail.
* Avoid contact with the camera lens when possible. Keeping the lens cover on and placing the camera in the bag when not in use can shield it from dust and other potential damage. Basically, anything that comes in contact with the lens of a digital camera can damage the special coatings that allow the lens to function properly. Extra care should be taken when shooting pictures to assure that the lens is not touched as it is grasped in the hands.
* Keep lenses away from excessive heat which can breakdown the greases used within the barrel of the lens.
* Add a UV filter over the camera lens as an extra layer of protection.
* Keep the lens dry. Moisture whether from your breath, condensation, a cleaner or another source can create fogging and, in some case, can warp the lens housing. Because of the potential damage from moisture, care must be taken in exposing your camera to cold as condensation may form when it is returned to a warmer environment.
* Remove visible particles from the lens without touching it when possible. Using an ear syringe or special dust blower is the preferred method. Soft bristled brushes are available as well but care must be taken to assure that the brushes are clean and do not scratch the surface of the camera lens.
* Remove fingerprints and smudges with a dry microfiber cloth. Lens cleaning fluids are available and can also be applied to the microfiber cloth as needed. The fluid should not be applied directly to the lens. Only cleaners made specifically for camera lenses should be used; do not use cleaners made for eyeglasses.
* Use extra care in harsher environments. As described above heat and cold extremes can cause damage to lenses as well as the camera itself. Because cameras travel with us however, they are sometimes exposed to environments that are somewhat "hostile". Thus, extra precautions are sometimes necessary. For instance, in extremely cold weather it is generally best to carry the camera close to the body, perhaps covered by a coat to keep it warmer. On rainy days wrapping the camera in a plastic bag can help shield it from the moisture. The beach can also be hostile due to the potential exposure to wind, sand, moisture, and heat. Again, covering the camera with a plastic bag and shading it from the sun are good preventative measures.
Reducing contact and exposure to contaminants, proper cleaning, and protecting the lens from extreme environments are key to assuring the longevity of a camera lens. These basic precautions entail minimal expense and time commitment and can become second nature very quickly to beginning photographers.
CMC 37 Posture Tai Chi Chuan Form, thick winter garments, front view - 01/15/09 (Winter) Doing Prof. Cheng Manching's 37 Posture Tai Chi Chuan Form youtube.com youtube.com youtube.com outdoors, during very cold weather, in thick winter garments, helps me experience the Form in new ways. There's a big difference between doing the Tai Chi form with very few clothes on (like a T-shirt, shorts, and a thin pair of flexible sneakers during warm weather, when my body can move easily) www.youtube.com and doing each posture while every part of my body is wrapped in several layers of outdoor winter clothing. The thick gloves on my hands immobilize all my fingers. I can't even roll my fingers into a loose fist, because the puffy material of the glove is too thick. I feel like I'm wearing professional boxing gloves, where the whole hand has to move as one unit. Freedom of rotation in the wrist areas is restricted by Velcro bands on my winter coat sleeves, and the gloves, which keep my wrists and forearms basically immobilized, almost like wearing splints on both wrists. My elbows can barely bend, because of the thick padding of the winter coat. My shoulders can barely move, because of the multiple layers of clothing beneath my coat. My head can barely turn to one side or another because a hat and ear muffs are wrapped around my head; they press against the high collar of my winter coat and hold my neck immobile, as if I'm wearing a neck brace. The interesting thing about all these ...

I didn't feel like getting in the pool because it was getting colder, but Nick jumped in so I decided to go with him. I take that back. I didn't decide to go with him. He pulled me in. It actually felt warmer than just standing outside. We swam around for a bit, splashing and what not. I really liked this kid. I was sad I had to leave tomorrow already. "So when are you leaving?" Nick asked, getting out of the pool and heading over to the hot tub. I followed him over so I wouldn't have to yell to him from the pool. It was like he read my mind with the whole leaving thing. "Uhh-tomorrow actually." I said, looking down at my feet. "Oh. Well come here then." Nick said, holding his arms out while sitting in the hot tub. I got in and sat next to him, unsure of what he wanted. He put one arm behind the back of my knees and set the other on my back ...
How can you keep warm in winter?
I remember the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Where the people were facing an ice age ahead, with temperatures so cold it could freeze your blood instantly.
Everyone was working hard on keeping warm. They were hiding in a library which was really convenient. You wouldn't run out of things to burn in a library that is full of books. In their effort to stay warm, they kept their fireplace ablaze by burning library books, feeding the fire continually for that much needed warmth.
A homeless guy who had to survive winter in the streets crushed up paper and stuffed his clothes with them for insulation. Insulate your clothing to keep the warmth in and the cold out. Crushing the paper trapped air. Air is a great insulator of heat. So that made a lot of sense.
When it comes to staying warm in winter, remember 2 things.
1. Generate heat.
2. Insulate to keep the heat in and the cold out.
To generate heat, most modern homes have a proper heating system. Just make sure you pay your heating bills. If you can't pay the bills, get your bills paid on your behalf. For example, if you are a U.S. resident, you can get free heating at [http://www.cheapestsale.com/free-heating.html]
If you use an old fashion log fireplace, stock up on plenty of firewood in case you get snowed in.
As for insulation, wear layers of clothing to keep warm. Start off with a base layer. The thermal underwear. Ideally, your thermal underwear should fit like second skin. The goal is to keep your body heat in. Pure cotton thermal underwear would probably work if the temperature is above 5 degrees celsius. Colder than that and you need something much warmer. Like wool.
On top of the thermal underwear, you might want to wear a wool sweater and thick denim jeans or wool pants. You might want to add on a warm jacket or even a trenchcoat over the sweater. Depending on the severity of cold you might face, you might want to add more layers. Don't forget your gloves, scarf, woolen hat, ear muffs, and boots. If it is really very cold, you might even need a ski mask.
Another trick that works for me and my kids is to apply a aromatherapy massage oil right after towelling dry after a hot bath. On a winter vacation, at the end of a day out in the cold, we were only too happy to get back to the hotel room where we would take turns in a hot bath. I would dilute 3 drops of mandarin oil in 1 teaspoon of a carrier oil like grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil and put in into the bath water. My kids loved it. I brought along some mandarin essential oil. I also made a massage oil by diluting 1 drop of mandarin oil to every 1 teaspoon of olive oil or sweet almond oil or grapeseed oil. After bathing each child, I'd rub him all over with plenty of this massage oil. When I ran out of mandarin oil, I used tea tree oil. The massage oil helped seal some warmth and moisture as the air was very dry.
Drinking a cup of ginger tea helps you body fight the cold too. Drinking plenty of hot soup at meals warms up the body beautifully.
Carry along a cashmere shawl, or at least a wool wrap with you so you can wrap that around you when you need additional warmth.
Finally, huddle up close to a loved warm so you can keep each other warm. That's how our ancestors survived the cold winters when they lived in caves. They would huddle close together near the fire to keep warm.
