Poisons Under Your Sink: Hidden Dangers of Cleaning Products By Glenn Beach

Monday, June 1st, 2009

The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) has recorded many exposures to household cleaning substances that were serious enough to require treatment in a health care facility. Incredibly, according to the AAPCC the largest number of occurrences of poisoning in 1993 were due to cleaning products - drain cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, bleach, soaps and detergents.

One Million poisonings in Canada each year are due to household cleaner ingestion. Some are fatal. Thousands of children and adults are permanently disfigured or injured through contact with chemicals in the home each year.

Our pets are also at risk. Animals that don’t have access to clean, fresh water are more likely to drink out of puddles, gutters, toilet bowls, or any old container left sitting around with a liquid in it. Even though my cats always have access to clean water in a bowl, they seem to prefer the toilet, the sink, the bathtub, or even a basin with cleaning solution in it.

Here is an alphabetical list of some of the most hazardous cleansers found around the house:

AIR FRESHENERS: interfere with your ability to smell by releasing nerve-deadening agents or coating nasal passages with an oil film, usually methoxychlor, a pesticide that accumulates in fat cells. Known toxic chemicals found in an air freshener are formaldehyde, a highly toxic, known carcinogen, and phenol. When phenol touches your skin it can cause it to swell, burn, peel, and break out in hives.

AMMONIA: is a very volatile chemical and is very damaging to your eyes, respiratory tract and skin.

ANTIBACTERIAL CLEANERS: may contain triclosan, which is absorbed through the skin and can be tied to liver damage.

BLEACH: is a strong corrosive. It will irritate or burn the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. It may cause pulmonary edema or vomiting and coma if ingested. Never mix bleach with acid toilet bowl cleaners or ammonia. These mixtures may produce fumes which can be DEADLY.

CARPET AND UPHOLSTERY SHAMPOO: Most formulas are designed to overpower the stain itself; they accomplish the task but not without using highly toxic substances. Some include perchlorethylene, a known carcinogen that damages liver, kidney and nervous system damage; and ammonium hydroxide, a corrosive, extremely irritable to eyes, skin and respiratory passages.

CHLORINE: The first agent of chemical warfare was chlorine. WWII ended with an abundance of this cheap chemical. In the name of huge profits, it was added to our water supply and many other products. Chlorine is the number one cause of breast cancer and can be lethal. Scientists won’t handle chlorine without protective gloves, facemasks, and ventilation, yet it is in most store-brand cleaners, including dishwasher detergents. The harmful effects are intensified when the fumes are heated, as in the shower. It ís in our drinking water, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, and more.

DISHWASHER DETERGENTS: Most products contain chlorine in a dry form that is highly concentrated. The #1 cause of household poisoning is dish detergent. Dishwashing liquids are labelled “harmful if swallowed.” Each time you wash your dishes, some residue is left on them, which accumulates with each washing. Your food picks up part of the residue — especially if your meal is hot when you eat it.

FURNITURE POLISH: contain petroleum distillates, which are highly flammable and can cause skin and lung cancer. They contain nitrobenzene, which is easily absorbed through the skin and extremely toxic.

LAUNDRY ROOM PRODUCTS: Laundry detergents contain phosphorus, enzymes, ammonia, naphthalene, phenol, sodium nitilotriacetate and countless other chemicals. These substances can cause rashes, itches, allergies, sinus problems and more. The residue left on your clothes, bed sheets, etc. is absorbed through your skin, as is everything else you touch.

OVEN CLEANER: one of the most toxic products people use. They contain lye and ammonia, which eat the skin, and the fumes linger and affect the respiratory system. Then there ís the residue that ís intensified the next time you turn your oven on. Use sea salt and baking soda instead.

TOILET BOWL CLEANERS: usually contain hydrochloric acid, a highly corrosive irritant to both skin and eyes that damages kidneys and liver; and hypochlorite bleach, a corrosive irritant that can burn eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Toilet bowl cleaners also may cause pulmonary edema, vomiting or coma if ingested. Contact with other chemicals may cause chlorine fumes which may be fatal.

Are you one of the millions of consumers who tend to think anything sold must be safe? Think again. Since WWII more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been invented. Most have been created from petroleum and coal tar for the purposes of chemical warfare. The sad thing is that hardly any of these substances have been tested for safety, but have been added to our food, water and cleaning products without our consent and most often without informing us of any dangers. There is a lot of intentional suppression in this industry that adds approximately 1000 new chemicals each year.

According to the National Research Council, “no toxic information is available for more than 80% of the chemicals in everyday-use products. Less than 20% have been tested for acute effects and less than 10% have been tested for chronic, reproductive or mutagenic effects.” Most have not been tested for combined or accumulated effects, nor for their effects on unborn children.

What can you do to protect your loved ones from chemical injury and poisoning?

First of all, educate yourself, and find safer alternatives as much as possible.

Secondly, minimize use of harsh chemicals. Clean spills and stains immediately, remove food waste promptly, keep home moisture/humidity down to 30-50%, and use entry way mats at all entrances.

Third, store all cleaning agents in their original containers out of the reach of children. Follow the directions on the label and use only the amount of product recommended. Read labels, follow safety precautions and contact the manufacturer if you have questions.

By definition, we clean our homes to reduce damage or harm to human and pet health, and to protect our valued possessions. Let’s not make the solution worse than the problem!

Low-Carb Cookbook Review - Low Carb Christmas Cookin’ With an “Old-Fashioned” Cook by Jan McCracken By Cherie Davidson

Monday, June 1st, 2009

“I love low carbing, but I’m getting so tired of the same old foods.”

“I wish I had time to figure out how to convert my family recipes to low
carb!”

“I love finding old recipes done low carb!”

Do any of these comments sound familiar? They sure do to me; I’ve said
them all at one time or another. And they are so true-two years later and
I am still trying to find the time to try and convert some of my favorite old recipes, especially with the holidays arriving!

I am determined this holiday season to stick with my low-carb eating
plan, and I decided since I couldn’t find the time to convert my own
recipes, I needed to find some good alternatives. I hit the jackpot with
Low Carb Christmas Cookin’ With an “Old-Fashioned” Cook by Jan
McCracken (Poppyseed Press, 2003).

Jan’s brand new cookbook is an entertaining delight. Every page
delivers a smile, laugh or grin-and terrific recipes. Low Carb Christmas
Cookin’
is a colorful, easy-to-read, 224-page paperback book liberally
sprinkled with fun. From funny and sometimes outrageous photos of the
author mugging for the camera to anecdotes, homespun quotes, and
humorous ways to prepare recipes, all the way through I got a strong
sense of the fun and spirit of this feisty and entertaining lady.

Low Carb Christmas Cookin’ isn’t just fun. Though smiles lurk on every
page, the recipes are seriously good. The cookbook is broken into nine
chapters. Some of my favorites are, “Dollops & Plops,” “Feliz Navidad…
Low Carb Fiesta Christmas!” and “Holiday Affair with Chocolate.” The
“All Thru the House” chapter has some great potpourri recipes, too.

I’ve tried several recipes from the book, and so far they are all keepers.
My mom adores “Ole’…It’s Holy Guacamole!” and I made the “Staggerin’
Swiss Chicken” for friends, and it was a huge hit. Other personal
favorites from Jan’s book include, “Pineapple Upside-Down French
Toast Casserole” and “Hot Cashew Chicken Salad.” Since this is a
holiday recipe collection, you should expect that there are some recipes
that call for fruit, so for those on very low carbs you may need to watch
the portions, but Jan has done a good job of keeping her recipes low on
the low carb scale.

I just fell in love with the humor and joy so obvious throughout the entire
book, and I drooled over the recipes. Honestly, I’m not sure what I
enjoyed more, reading it or making the recipes. Either way, I will be
sending copies of this low-carb cookbook to low carbers on my
Christmas list… and I know one old sugar grouch that will find one in his
stocking!

Stun Guns: What Are They, How They Work By Olga Timbol

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

How does a stun gun work?

The way a stun gun works is by interrupting the communication signals from the brain to the body. A stun gun does not harm a person permanently; it only temporarily disrupts the way our body functions. A stun gun won’t cause damage in the long run because the electricity that it delivers into a person’s body is very high voltage but low amperage electrical charge. In this way, the charge is not intense enough to cause any long term damage to the person.

So when you press the stun gun against a person and deliver the shock to them, a few things happen contributing to their following [stunned] condition. The electric shock delivered by the stun gun will combine with the electric signals from the brain and this will confuse your body and make it hard to move. Another effect the stun gun can have is causing a person to do excessive amounts of work directed towards nothing in a particularly short period of time. This will use all of the persons energy so that they will temporarily be unable to do anything.

When triggered, the stun gun emits a bright electrical blast that is quite intimidating and makes a very loud popping noise that will attract the attention of anyone within earshot.

Which is better? Stun Gun or Stun Baton?

I would have to say the Stun Baton as it has plenty of stopping power and will shock an attacker if he tries to grip it from you 6″ down from the tip-top. Or if you don’t want something so large, go with the cell phone stun gun. The cell phone stun gun is the neatest stun gun I ever seen and it has plenty of raw power to back it up 180,000 volts plus a personal alarm all in one.

How do I use a stun gun?

To use a stun gun, hold the electrodes firmly against a muscular area of the attackers body such as a shoulder, thigh, or buttocks. You will not receive a shock even if you are touching the person being stunned. To completely subdue the attacker, the stun gun must be continuously applied for a few seconds. More time is required if the person is large, or you are using a low voltage model.

Can Stun Guns be Lethal?

Stunguns can’t be lethal they don’t have enough amperage to kill someone. They only effect the regular muscles in your body not the vital organs such as the heart or any of those organs. They just temporarily stun your muscles and makes a person fall to the ground and make it feel like they fell off a 2 story building and they are very confused and disoriented for minutes afterward. Stun guns do not kill. However, on persons with a heart condition or other medical problems, it is possible. Just as possible as someone sneaking up behind a person with a heart condition and saying ‘BOO’ in his ear.

What are the types of stun guns?

Three types of stun gun weapons are made for retail. The first is a static charge gun which immobilizes people by using an electric current powered by static charge. The second gadget is called a Phase Induction gun, which delivers a charge to living creatures through an electric current achieved through phase induction. The final type of stun gun is the T-Wave gun. This device disrupts the brain’s signals to the body by means of an electric current completed with EMD (Electro-Muscular Disruption).

1. Static charge. Range in volts is between 80,000 and 625,000. Uses 9-20 watts. 80,000-100,000 volts stun guns use one 9 volt battery and 200,000-625,000 volts stun guns use two or three 9 volt batteries.

2. Phase Induction delivery. Range in volts is from 100,000 to 625,000. Uses 7-15 watts. This type of stun guns (Talon brand) uses more effective and efficient delivery of the shock. A 200,000 volts stun gun using phase induction delivery is equivalent to a 300,000 volts stun gun which uses static charge.

3. Electro-Muscular Disruption - EMD - is used in tasers. It’s amore powerful 18-26 watt electrical system. The air taser gun looks like a pistol but uses compressed air to fire two darts that trail electric cable back to the handset. When the darts strike, a five-second 50,000 volt charge is released down the cable, causing the assailant’s muscles to contract uncontrollably. The taser causes temporary paralysis and research suggests there is little permanent risk to health. A laser helps target the assailant and taser works at ranges up to 21 ft. Electrical signals - taser waves or T-waves - overpower the body’s normal electrical signals, temporarily confusing the nervous system.

Advanced taser guns have the advantage of being able to get through thick clothing. If the darts miss, there are two probes in front of the weapon, allowing the unit to be used as a stun weapon. Because these weapons affect the central nervous system by imitating the electrical impulses used to communicate within the human body, a hit anywhere on the body can be effective. Thus, the ADVANCED TASER is much easier to use than sprays or even firearms that require a hit to a specific zone of the body. Air Cartridges are not reusable. You have to replace them after each shooting. Therefore, use Advanced Taser only in emergency situations (unless you have a lot of money to spend for buying cartridges).

The Benefits of Non Piercing Body Jewelry By Sal Dante

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Piercing has been practiced in many cultures for many centuries. Body piercing was often identified with royalty and portrayed courage and virility. Egyptian pharaohs pierced their navels as a rite of passage. Roman soldiers pierced their nipples to show their manhood. Piercings aren’t just done to ears. People have their nipples, navels, eyebrows, clitoris hoods, penises, labia, and other body parts pierced, and bits of metal permanently in the piercings. Some even say that nipple piercing can cause problems with nursing because there are many milk ducts in an average nipple, so the chances are good that nursing can still happen, but nothing is certain

Here are the average times for healing from body piercings.

Piercing Location - Average Healing Time

Nipple - 3 to 6 months -

Eyebrow - 6 to 8 weeks -

Nostril - 2 to 4 months -

Nasal septum - 6 to 8 months -

Nasal bridge - 8 to 10 weeks -

Tongue - 4 weeks -

Lip - 2 to 3 months -

Navel - 4 months to 1 year -

Female genitalia - 4 to 10 weeks -

Male genitalia - 4 weeks to 6 months -

Cheek - 4 to 5 months -

How Do You Get Parts for a Rainbow Vacuum? By Steve McArthur

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Jane owns a Rainbow vacuum cleaner and loves it. Ever since the first night she let Randy, her demonstrator come over and show her and Bill how good the Rainbow vacuum cleaner really is she loved it.

She was amazed at how dirty the water had turned inside the Rainbow vacuum water basin. Randy, her Rainbow vacuum salesman, had just vacuumed a small three foot square area of her light beige carpet after her husband had gone over that spot 50 times, back and forth, with her old vacuum cleaner.

Actually, her old vacuum was brand new, it was only 3 months old. The problem was, according to Randy the Rainbow vacuum guy, that all the little holes in the bag of her old vacuum had stopped up causing it to lose air flow. Air flow?

Jane thought suction was what picked up stuff off the floor. Randy had heard this response dozens if not hundreds of times before so he knew that Jane was playing along according to the script that is played thousands of times a day all across the county.

Only Jane had not rehearsed the play and Randy had. Jane and Bill ended up owning a Rainbow vacuum cleaner that night and have loved the way it has performed ever since. That is until one day when they called Randy to order some more of the Mulberry oil based fragrances.

It made the whole house smell wonderful every time they used their Rainbow vacuum. The problem was that when they called Randy he was not there. Not only was Randy not there but the office number had been disconnected with no forwarding information.

Scenarios like this are common and will continue to be so. The reason it happens is that vacuum cleaner distributors are just like any other direct sales organization.

Sometimes sales are good, sometimes they are so bad that the distributor cannot stay in business so it closes the doors, leaving customers high and dry and no local office to get parts and supplies.

Steve McArthur saw a need for Rainbow vacuum parts and has been filling the need for since 1998 on the web.

Kodak EasyShare Making Digital Photograpy Simpler By Kyle Summers

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Kodak is striving to make the move to digital cameras easier for their customers. The kodak easyshare digital cameras are making the digital photography market a little more easy to swallow for consumers. J.D. Power and Associates Satisfaction study displays how the Kodak Easyshare digital cameras are the highest in customer satisfactory rating from the $400-$599 dollar range and the $200-$399 dollar range. This study consisted of 4,260 responses from consumers who pruchased a digital camera between November, 2003 and June, 2004.

These models consisted of the Kodak Easyshare DX6340 , Kodak Easyshare DX6440 , Kodak Easyshare DX7590 , and the Kodak Easyshare CX7430. These cameras are some of the easiest learning curve digitals on the market touting one touch button operation and easy auto and manual controls, Kodak is eagerly chasing the first time camera buying in a attempt to make things easier for the consumer.

The kodak photo docks allow you to transter photos to your pc, recharge your cameras battery. How easy is the Kodak system? Well when your done taking pictures on your kodak you just place the camera in the easyshare dock and touch the button. Thats it your pictures then transfer to your computer and the cameras battery recharges automatically.

Kodak is no slouch either when it comes to pixel content as we explained earlier in a previous article, you don’t need more than a 5.0 mega pixel past that point the naked eye can almost not detect a much better artificial color saturation of raw mega pixels. This of course meaning non interpolated pixels, the CCD has to be 5.0 mega pixels and not interpolated which give the average photographer a great picture both in exposure and color saturation. As kodak strives to make the camera markey easier for its customers to get into its providing a Niche Market for the first time digital buyer.

I guess the question most first time buyers ask themselves is what do you really need as far as pixels, what are you taking pictures of landscapes or portraits and how durable does your camera need to be. All of these are great questions when seeking out that perfect combination of power and durability and easy of use, I think the average person just needs a digital camera suited to him/her and this is your ideal situation.

Style is another factor to take into consideration, not saying that men are oblivious to this but the olympus verve I believe to be a definate atempt at Olympus to target the female market, the 4.0 mega pixel camera is shaped like compact even. Of course without sounding too bias I can’t see many men actively going out to buy this ” Stylish ” camera.

It all comes down to what you want and what you need and hopefully all consumers can meet somewhere in the middle. Hope your search for the ideal camera for yourself comes up good this year and since the market has gained 24 billion this year expect next year to be just as hectic with newer styles coming out soon. Keep your feet on the ice and you will find the perfect one if not this year next year.

Cheers, Kyle Summers

Buy Flowers Online but Check the Meaning First! By Hugh Harris-Evans

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

A bouquet of flowers has been a traditional gift since time immemorial but over the years individual flowers have acquired meanings of their own. It is important that you should have at least a nodding acquaintance with the language of flowers to ensure that your gift does not convey an unintended message. To complicate matters it is not just the variety of flower but its color and the number of blooms in the bouquet which affect the meaning.

Perhaps on of the best examples is the rose. A red rose signifies love, “I love you”, but a white rose indicates the opposite “I love you not”. Again a yellow rose shows misplaced affection “I love another”.

Bachelor’s Buttons point to devotion, hope, love. These flowers were carried around by young bachelors who were in love. If the flower faded quickly, it was a sign that their sweethearts did not love them. If the flower did not fade, everything would go well with their love affairs.

With the Camellia colors only shade the meaning. Pink - I’m longing for you. Red - You’re a Flame in My Heart. White - You’re Adorable. However with Carnations it is a different matter. Pink - I’ll Never Forget You. Red - My Heart Aches For You. Purple - Capriciousness. Solid color - Yes. Striped - No, Refusal, Sorry I Can’t Be With You, Wish I Could Be With You. White - Sweet and Lovely, Innocence, Pure Love. Yellow - You Have Disappointed Me, Rejection.

A Pink Geranium shows doubt,”Please explain yourself”, but scarlet is uncompromising “I do not trust you”. Color is not always significant. A Gloxinia of any shade declares love at first sight.

A purple Hyacinth says “Sorry” but yellow indicates jealousy. The same sentiment is expressed by the yellow French Marigold.

The message of the Petunia is “I like you near me” and the Sweet Pea says “Goodbye. Thank you for a lovely time.” The Spider Flower tells you “I am not so bad as I seem”.

You may be thinking by now that this is all fairly straightforward and that you will soon get the hang of it. But beware! The language of flowers has evolved over many centuries and not everyone agrees as to the true meaning. For instance the Petunia also signifies resentment and anger. Take care when you include a Spider Flower in your bouquet since it can also mean “Elope with me!”.

Is He Cheating on You? - Is She Cheating? - An Infidelity e-book Review By R. Houston

Friday, May 29th, 2009

According to statistics, 50% to 70% of men cheat on their wives. 2/3 of those wives (approximately 26 million women) have no idea their husbands are having an affair because they fail to recognize the telltale signs. As widespread as infidelity is, most of it goes undetected until it’s too late. Countless unsuspecting wives have been

• shocked to accidentally discover that their husband has been carrying on an extramarital affair for weeks, months, or even years

• totally taken by surprise when their husband suddenly moves out or asks for a divorce

• stunned to realize they’ve contracted a sexually transmitted disease

• dumbfounded to find that family funds have been used to finance a cheating husband’s affair.

Fortunately, a wife no longer has to be the last to know. Is He Cheating on You? - 829 Telltale Signs makes it easy to spot the telltale signs of an affair before it’s too late. Now available as an e-book from Booklocker.com , this comprehensive guide to the warning signs of infidelity documents hundreds of cheating signs – many of which apply to cheating spouses of either sex. All of the signs can easily be found using one’s own eyes and ears, one’s personal knowledge of their mate, and the information in this book. No special skills or fancy equipment are needed.

Drawing on 10 years of in-depth research on infidelity which began when she accidentally discovered her now ex-husband’s affair, author and infidelity expert, Ruth Houston has documented practically every known of infidelity, including

•Signs most women usually overlook

•Signs so subtle a cheating spouse would never think to cover them up

•Signs a private investigator is unlikely to find

•Signs almost impossible for a cheating husband or cheating wife to conceal

•Signs that help pinpoint the identity of the other woman

•Little-known signs not found anywhere else but this book

Is He Cheating on You? is packed with secrets that cheating husbands and cheating wives don’t want their mates to know. The telltale signs are conveniently grouped into 21 categories so anyone can easily find the signs that apply to their relationship or their mate. Categories include Work Habits, Conversational Clues, Day-To-Day Behavior, Telephone Tip-Offs, How He Relates To You, Car Clues, Physical Appearance, His Behavior Around Other Women, Computer Use, Financial Affairs and more. (To receive a Special Report with detailed explanations of each of the 21 categories of telltale signs, send an e-mail to InfidelityInfo@gmail.com with “21 Categories” in the subject line.)

”Given the rapidly rising rate of infidelity, Is He Cheating on You? should be mandatory reading for any person in a relationship, whether they suspect their spouse of cheating or not,” says author and infidelity expert Ruth Houston. “ Especially since many of the signs apply equally to cheating women and cheating men. Infidelity can happen to anyone, at any time. No one is immune. The future of your marriage or relationship may one day depend on your ability to recognize the signs of infidelity in time. You can’t afford to be the last one to know. Find out before it’s too late”
