I'm blogging about school on a Saturday.In case you hadn't noticed, by way of my 20 years ofschooling, I am a school junkie. I do school on Saturday.That's just how I roll.)At the very time she needs it most, school often gets pushed to the outskirts of our day. I'm sure it's an irony many parents have faced before me...the child with special needs is so overwhelming it is difficult to even attempt to meet them.In November, Amelia was diagnosed with two things: Episodic Ataxia, a disease that causes her to lose balance, depth perception, and speech coordination at random times throughout the day; and a sensory processing disorder, which basically means that she either can't sense or doesn't react to stimulation (touch, smell, taste, see, hear) the same way you and I do.Both ...

While this could be a positive change for the company, Inhabitat thinks that the corporation’s star product (Sunny D), which contains a lot of high-fructose corn syrup, cancels out the zero-waste achievement. Yes, high-fructose corn syrup is bad for us. But so is sending exorbitant amounts of waste to landfills. And sure, it’d be great to live in a world where Sunny D wasn’t made with HFCS (right?), but that just isn’t happening now. And Inhabitat’s claim that Sunny D’s move to zero-waste is an act of “self-interest” is irrelevant — less waste being shipped to landfills is a good move for the earth and...

Who knew our wish would be granted so adorably? This little eco-friendly cutie is handmade out of natural cut apricot wood, can be recharged via a USB connector, and can plug right into your headphone jack. We wonder how it sounds. Though, honestly, we might trade sub-par sound quality for this awesome design. It can be yours for $44.50 on Delight. photo via Inhabitat Post from: BlissTree Eco-Friendly Music: Cutest Speakers Ever (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3710533 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:06:18 +0100 3710533 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3599699&cid=t_221239_136_f&fid=39016&url=http%3A%2F%2Fturquoisegates.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F05%2Ffar-from-painful.html You may imagine that I am suffering on my fairly strict no sugar/no starch diet. Much to my own surprise, I have found exactly the opposite is true! I tried a similar diet in college, in an attempt to control my fainting episodes, which at that time were thought to be linked to drops in blood sugar. I wasn't successful...I think probably because I couldn't afford enough protein to satisfy my insatiable hunger as a busy student athlete. Now...with a half of a cow in the freezer - all natural, primarily grassfed at that! - it is quite a different story.Last night, my meal was steak, a large mixed herb salad with homemade buttermilk curry dressing, and steamed artichoke with yogurt-curry and drawn butter & thyme sauce for dipping. (cultured dairy products are allowed on this special diet)...

Starbucks plans to make all espresso-based drinks with reduced fat milk, switching from whole. This new standard is planned to take effect by the end of the fiscal year, 2007 and will affect locations in the United States and Canada. The company stated that the new conversion would establish reduced fat milk, also known as 2% milk, as the standard dairy in all beverages served in its North American coffeehouses. Never fear - the company said customers can still request whole milk, but if no request is made, consumers will receive 2%. The fat trimming decision warrants applause. Starbucks is consciously working healthier choices into their business mo... The Diabetes Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=650904 Fri, 01 Jun 2007 04:00:00 +0100 650904
