To avoid illness from contaminated drinking water and food, the Food and Drug Administration is urging people to take the following precautions: Do not eat any food that may have come into contact with flood water. When in doubt, throw it out. Do not eat food packed in plastic, paper, cardboard, cloth and similar containers that have been water-damaged. Discard food and beverage containers with screw-caps, snap lids, crimped caps (soda bottles), twist caps, flip tops, cardboard juice/milk/baby formula boxes and home canned foods, if they have come in contact with flood water. These containers cannot be ...

The ShoulderFlex Massager, say federal regulators, can be lethal. The ShoulderFlex Massager, distributed by King International in Beaverton, Or., sits beneath the neck of a prone user and features a rotating bar with removable, adjustable massage “fingers.” However, if the rotating parts are set incorrectly, the fingers can snag and pull a person's hair or loose clothing, causing injury and possible strangulation. In one case, reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, a user was strangled to death because the ShoulderFlex Massager snagged the person's necklace during use. The FDA warns that owners should immediate discontinue use of the massagers. The dev...

Unlike their neighbors to the south, Northeasterners may not be as familiar with hurricane preparedness. Whether you’re weathering in or have to evacuate, there’s a few supplies you should have on hand.

I do garden in the dark. It does sound a bit dangerous, I’ll grant you that, but it’s not exactly brain surgery or nuclear fission. The only victims might be a live yellow daisy, “dead headed” in error. I do take pity on these victims and bring them indoors and stick them in a small vase, poor things. I do have the guidance of a porch light and a couple of solar powered “rock” lights. Twilight is actually the best time because I can still enjoy the view, there is usually a cool breeze whipping up from the Columbia River and there are no dangerous UVA/UVB rays to worry about.

Getting rid of poison ivy and its partners in pain, poison oak and poison sumac, can be a challenge but here’s something not to try—a string trimmer. Whacking the weed will just toss the bits back at you resulting in a malady called trimmer’s itch. The itch is quickly followed by a rash and blisters and weeks of misery. Recognizing these plants and knowing where they grow is the best way to avoid them. The old adage, “Leaves of three, let it be” only applies to the ivy. Poison oak can have three to five leaves on a stem and poison sumac seven to 13. The Food and Drug Administration also recommends the following: Was...

So chew on that while you’re romping around the White House with Sasha and Malia (who reportedly has dog allergies). The study found that the quantities of dog allergens in homes with supposedly hypoallergenic breeds were no different from those in homes with other breeds, according to The New York Times. So another myth busted. Bo is a Portuguese water dog, one of 11 “hypoallergenic canine candidates” on a list from the American Kennel Club, which also includes poodles, soft-coated wheaten terriers and schnauzers. “I have no idea where this whole concept came from,” Christine Cole Johnson, the senior author of the study, to be published online in The American...

A colorless, odorless gas, radon causes an estimated 21,000 cancer deaths each year. While the announcement was short on details, two goals are to raise awareness of radon dangers and to create jobs for radon testing and mitigation. “This Action Plan represents an historic interagency cooperation with the potential to reduce exposure to radon, including for people and families that do not have the resources to make the simple fixes necessary to protect their loved ones,” the Environmental Protection Agency announced on its website. One in 15 homes has elevated radon levels, according to the EPA. The agency recommends running a...

Horses, hormones and horticulture.’. How true. I’m not sure what’s brought it on. Maybe it’s the fact that, unlike our previous London home, you have to walk through the garden to get to our house, so it feels like much more a part of home than if it were just stuck out the back. Maybe it’s that when I look out of the studio window (which I never do because I am Too Busy Writing, of course) it’s the garden that I look on to. Maybe it’s that we love this house so, and we want to give it the garden it deserves. (All the more so when the one-before-last owner sent u...

And more than just creepy-crawly pests, scientists now worry that the parasites might be connected with a much more serious bug: A particularly nasty bacterium called MRSA. Researchers in Canada recently conducted a study in an area of Vancouver that has both a large bedbug infestation and numerous reports of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. And in small sample of bedbugs collected from patients at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, they found three bedbug carrying the MSRA bacteria. Two other bugs were contaminated with a less dangerous superbug called vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium.

Oreck also agreed to pay the FTC $750,000. During the 2009 holiday season, Oreck began advertising the pair of appliances together under the headline “Introducing the Oreck Flu Fighters.” The ads claimed that the vacuum and air cleaner would “help reduce the flu on virtually any surface and in the air in your home.” The vacuum sold for $600 and the air cleaner for $400.

The essence of the debate is about competing tech/business models: walled gardens vs. the open world wide web (web).   vs.   The debate is highly controversial and nuanced.

This is the first on-site field-to-store garden in the country and was exiting news to proponents of the Local Food Movement. The garden has separate areas for composting, an orchard and space for individual gardens and for demonstration and educational programs. By producing food on site, it will be much more sustainable and energy effecient, since this food will have no “food miles”- a buzz word that indicates how far, and how much gas has to be burned for that food to reach your table from the field.

I actually do know a few more species than that, but I have never really had a garden except for a horrible attempt at the house we lived in before Peter arrived, when I tried to keep the previous owner’s prize-winning rosebushes going.

Aphids are tiny little annoying bugs that suck the juice from leaves and stems of plants – and possibly spreading disease as they do it.

It’s gross, you say. I live in a city, you sigh. The time for excuses is over. Thanks to Planet Green, there’s the City Girl’s Guide to Composting – but don’t worry, it works for non-urban types, too. First you need to decide what kind of composting you want to do. Worm composting is good if you’re short on space (and don’t mind worms, obviously); hot composting is good if you’re a real go-getter and are willing to put a little more work into composting while reaping a more satisfying reward; and cold composting is good if you’d like a low-maintenance approach. You just dump the scraps into a bucket and let them s...

She talks about it interviews; we’ve read about it everywhere; and she even did some mulching with The Muppets. With all the recent national emphasis on the benefits of healthy eating, (including the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” campaign), no one would blame you for assuming that the White House garden is organic. But it’s not. The world’s most important gardeners actually use fertilizers and pesticides – though they’re natural, and not synthetic. Last year, the garden produced 55 different kinds of fruits and vegetables, and more than 1,000 pounds of food. Half of the yield went to local charities, and the other half was used right the...

If you want to stay on Mother Nature’s good side, check out this list of things the Environmental Protection Agency suggests trashing instead of composting: 1. Sick plants: Adding diseased or insect-ridden plants to your compost will just make other plants ill. (But you can compost healthy plants.) 2. Coal or charcoal ash: These can also harm plant life. (But you can compost fireplace ashes.) 3. Black walnut tree leaves or twigs: While most leaves are okay to recycle, walnut leaves contain substances that can damage plants. 4.

Usually we record anything Iron Chef to our DVR to watch when we're ready, but this event we watched live.

(This a recurrent theme of the Obama administration: Michelle Obama has made people’s food habits her business, growing a White House Garden and driving in a convoy of 36 vehicles to the H Street farmers’ market in a photo-op to promote it.

There is no escaping this simple truth. Chemicals grow in the garden. There is no such thing as chemical-free gardening. Now I’m not talking about the manufactured pesticides, herbicides, and fertilisers that your local garden centre stocks in abundance, whether those are labelled organic, all-natural, or otherwise, those are all chemicals, and some of them are essential for success.

Acosta Tacos: The owner of Acosta Tacos in Los Angeles, California has been ordered to pay Marina Chavez $21,645.00 in lost wages plus $20,000.00 for emotional damages after the owner fired Chavez for breastfeeding her baby on her breaks.

Some of the diminutive things in life offer us joy while other small things add up to large benefits, one small step at a time. First, let’s look at those that bring us delight in a life that can be very drab at times. Perhaps, what they always told us was true: “The best things come in small packages.” Diamonds immediately come to mind, and they are wonderful, but life does offer many other treasures of equal intrinsic worth if not monetary value.

The strip of ground is full of nettles, the parts of it that aren’t inhabited by our neat row of ex-Christmas trees, which seem to be doing quite nicely for themselves. This is where my inappropriate anthropomorphism of other species gets me into trouble: I now feel unable to yank out the nettles. How can I punish a bunch of plants for doing what they’re supposed to do? Namely, to grow. Nettles are high in vitamin C, I’m told, though I am unlikely to boil the plants in my kitchen. They photosynthesize and produce oxygen. And I am not a gardener by any means, so even if it weren’t too late to plant s... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2453109 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:34:45 +0100 2453109 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2448107&cid=t_115014_140_f&fid=35439&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbipolarsoupkitchen-stephany.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F05%2F31-days-of-may.html (Source: soulful sepulcher) soulful sepulcher blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2448107 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 04:06:00 +0100 2448107 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2415769&cid=t_115014_140_f&fid=35439&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbipolarsoupkitchen-stephany.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F05%2Fbefore-milk-white-now-purple-with-loves.html (Source: soulful sepulcher) soulful sepulcher blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2415769 Sun, 17 May 2009 21:04:00 +0100 2415769 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2399186&cid=t_115014_140_f&fid=35439&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbipolarsoupkitchen-stephany.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F05%2Fgood-evening-from-my-garden.html (Source: soulful sepulcher) soulful sepulcher blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2399186 Fri, 08 May 2009 00:42:00 +0100 2399186 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2390365&cid=t_115014_140_f&fid=35439&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbipolarsoupkitchen-stephany.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F05%2Fmonday-monday.html (Source: soulful sepulcher) soulful sepulcher blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2390365 Tue, 05 May 2009 03:35:00 +0100 2390365 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2390197&cid=t_115014_133_f&fid=35124&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Faspergerwoman%2F%7E3%2FV0uau-itSC8%2Fautism-food-sweet-things-in-life.html After some days of hard thinking, serious brainwork, it's time for something Light and Yummie...

Needless to say, I was very happy to hear that the Obamas were starting a garden at the White House for the first time since the first time since first lady Eleanor Roosevelt planted her “Victory Garden” during World War II. Michelle Obama shared her thoughts on the garden: We want to use it as a point of education, to talk about health and how delicious it is to eat fresh food, and how you can take that food and make it part of a healthy diet.

The Web 2.0 makes people narcissistic, which is not only the results of two significant American studies, the blogosphere itself exerts cognitive self-criticism.

And to the old-new story of why the Open Science movement will fail, at least for now. I was planning to post something on a different note, but a recent discussion thread on FriendFeed called me to post about it. This thread was started by a blog entry the poster-boy of the Open Science/Research/Buzz-Word-of-the-moment Movement, Cameron Neylon. As most of the “literature” you find in his blog, very well written, he uses a metaphor of some mundane human social behaviour/activity trying to captivate the reader and bring him to his “open” universe. Sometimes it’s related to a train commute, sometimes a music or a scientific article. When the the reader is inside his web, BANG! comes the open science mantra, that we have to be open, that w...

In Lake Elsinore, North Carolina, a vegetable garden is growing on the grounds of Canyon Lake Middle School. Adina Ross, who teaches special needs students, asked Home Depot for a few supplies–chicken wire and stakes—and the result was that a team of some 100 volunteers from nine Home Depot stores came to build sensory, vegetable, and butterfly gardens, as well as a playground, picnic tables, and a sandbox.

Yorkers and anyone planning on being in the city next week. Healthbolt’s got a free lunch to give away. Here’s the deal… I was contacted by a PR Agency to see if I’d like to attend a “first taste moment” of Truvia natural sweetener, the natural, zero-calorie, great-tasting sweetener made from rebiana, the best tasting part of the stevia plant. They are having press briefings and a luncheon to launch their product. Now I’m never one to turn down a free lunch and I’m quite interested in finding out more about this product having run across the stevia plant at a number of farmer’s markets.

With everyone mentioning blooming, flowers, cooking, or expanding your talents, the blogs have a great deal to offer for broadening your horizons this summer. Find here ways to brighten your days and that of your Alzheimer’s patient.  Perhaps even the children in your home.  Just reading the phrase, “blooming in June,” gives me cheery visions of flowers and gardens and birds and butterflies.  Then there are floral designs on food and quilts and crafts.  When you take time for introspection, you’ll find ways to feel better about yourself…blooming within.

college where I teach. We don’t have the facilities to hold the event on campus and it’s held some distance away down the Garden State Parkway.
