How to Grow Strawberries in New England

Monday, March 31st, 2008

By Lill Hawkins Sweet, juicy, ripe strawberries! What could be better than picking one right from your own garden and eating it out of hand. Or you might want to gather a bowlful, slice them and serve them over homemade shortcake biscuits or cake. If you grow enough, you can even make jam and preserve it or freeze it. Someone said once that strawberry preserves are like “summer in a jar.” But here in New England, whether you live in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massacusetts, Rhode Island or Connecticut, growing strawberries can be a challenge. Spring warmth often turns to snow squalls or long damp, cold days. Winter is snowy and cold and frost travels deep into the ground, heaving it up in the spring. Summers can be hot and dry or cool and rainy, depending on the year, or a combination of both for long periods. It’s essential that you choose a type of strawberry that grows well in the Northeast. Some types that do well here are Earliglow, Redchief and Allstar, but my favorite is Cavendish, which does very well in Maine where I live. It produces large sweet fruit and is tolerant of uneven growing conditions and weather. I’ve had very good luck with it for several years and would recommend it if your garden soil is heavy and/or clay-like. Your local Extension Office can advise you on what types grow best in your area and also give you growing tips for your particular situation. They’re also able to help with pest problems, soil analysis and diseases of strawberries. You’d be well advised to use their services which are usually free. Except for the day neutral types, which we won’t get into here, strawberries do best in hills in a bed that is wide enough so that their runners can be covered with soil, thereby producing new plants. For the first year, it’s wise to pinch off the flowerbuds, so that they’ll produce more and bigger berries the second year. When runners appear, bury them and they’ll produce new plants. Weeding your strawberry bed is very important, because weeds will choke the plants and reduce the yield. Mulching is a good idea also, to keep down weeds and reduce damage from moisture and dirt. Clean straw can be used and is, in fact, how strawberries got their name. Growers used straw to mulch them. In the fall, you should always mulch the beds to protect the plants from winter damage. Remove all the leaves and cover the crowns with a thin layer of mulch. You can add fertilizer, organic is best, at this time. In the spring, remove the mulch from the top of the crowns and water regularly. Soon, you’ll have another crop of sweet, juicy strawberries from your own garden. Strawberry beds will usually produce a decent crop for up to 5 years. After that, replanting is necessary. You might want to grow two varieties and experiment with a third, to see which does best where you live. That way, you could also plant one variety that produces a spring crop, one that produces in June and one that bears sporadically all season. Once you’ve grown your own strawberries, you’ll never want to be without some in the freezer or fridge or in jam on a shelf in your pantry. Full of antioxidants, vitamins and flavor, strawberries are one of the best things to grow in your New England garden.

Making Ruffles, So Easy When You Know How!

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

By Carmel Baird The fashion today is so very pretty and what adds to making it so very pretty is the use of ruffles. They do take a little time to sew but once the garment is finished are well worth the effort. Once you learn the ins and outs of ruffles, then you can add then to a garment you are making without the ruffle being included in the original pattern. You just need to learn how to make the ruffles. Ruffles, when produced by hand, can take some time, but worth the effort. But…if you have a sewing machine with a zig-zag stitch, a ruffler attachment and a narrow hemmer, like a rolled hem attachment, then you can have a lot of fun making ruffles without much effort on your part. The wider the ruffle, the fuller they need to be. The rule of thumb is sheer fabrics need three times the finished ruffle and weightier fabrics only need two and a half times the finished length . Once you have decided on your width and fullness of the ruffles, measure out on your fabric and start cutting out the fabric, remember to allow for hems. I like to make a template from light cardboard, like manila folder thickness, of the finished width of the ruffle, use as a guideto cut the fabric, allow for the hems. Then you can use the same template for pressing up the hems to sew. alternatively make two templates, one with hems added for the measuring and cutting and the other without hems for the pressing. This saves a lot of tedious measuring. Join sections together, end to end, that’s the width and make one continuous length Stitch a narrow double folded hem along one long edge. If your ruffle is going to be on the outside, then you need to stitch both long edges with the narrow double-folded hems. If you have a ruffler attachment for your sewing machine, then attach it and do a test ruffle so you can get the right fullness, follow the instructions for your ruffler attachment. If you don’t have a ruffler attachment, then you can make the ruffles this way. You need the zig-zag stitch for your machine, set to a very wide width and length. This will need a little practice too before you take on the ruffle. You will need a strong cord, something like dental floss is good or a crochet thread. Lay this along the stitching line and being very careful not to catch the floss or thread, zig-zag over it. When you have stitched the length of the ruffle, secure one end of the floss or thread by tying a large knot in it so it won’t pull through. Now pull the other end of the floss or thread until you have the desired length of the ruffle and secure at that end. Divide the finished length of your ruffle into 4 equal measures. If thefinished length will be say 36 inches, then mark out on your template 9 inches. Use this as a guide for getting the gathering even. Start by gathering up the ruffle in sections to the 9 inches and pin each section as you go, then machine stitch the ruffle, cord side up and keep gathers even on both sides of the pressure foot. If you don’t have a machine, then run a basting stitch along the ruffle sections and gather up using the same method as above to get them evenly gathered. Now you can add ruffles to any garment you desire, it is all in the knowing how.

Commercial Tanning Booths Are Often Touted As Providing A Better Tan Then The Standard Tanning Bed

Friday, March 28th, 2008

By Tim Gorman What Is a Tanning Booth? Commercial tanning booths are cosmetic devices used to emit ultraviolet rays for the purpose of darkening the skin. Similar in purpose to a tanning bed, commercial tanning booths differ in design. Tanning beds are used while a prosepective tanner is lying down, while tanning booths take action during the seating process. Since their introduction onto the market, commercial tanning booths have been preferred over tanning beds in almost overwhelming numbers, particularly when it comes to sanitation. Since tanning booth users are always standing, there isn’t as much person to unit contact as is routinely found with tanning beds. Features of Commercial Tanning Booths Most tanning booths use 160 watt Very High Output (VHO) or Very High Output with Reflector (VHO-R) lamps. Sometimes less expensive tanning lamps with one hundred watt High Output (HO) or Reflector Ultraviolet voltages are used. Commercial tanning booths often sport between thirty-two and fifty-six of these lamps, which burn for a ten to fifteen minute tanning session. Tanned skin lovers regularly hail the tanning booth for it’s superior service. Often cited as offering a better tan than tanning beds, commercial tanning booths often feature handles that make under arm and side tanning a cinch. Tanning booths’ signature VHO-R system feature effective reflectors built inside of the lamps, this helps reduce the likelihood of lost ultraviolet rays. The majority of tanning booths tote pricey tags and showcase short exposure times in the commercial market. Popularity of the Tanning Booth Professional tanning salons are opting for tanning booths in record numbers. While tanning booths for commercial use are significantly more expensive than traditional tanning beds, salon owners may end up saving money with a long-term investment in the booths. For starters, tanning beds require more square feet of room than booths. In addition, lots of commercial tanning booths are manufactured with an attached dressing room. Dressing room attachments mean that tanning salon owners don’t have to dish out fistfuls of dough on having to build individual dressing rooms inside of the establishment. In spite, of it’s burdgeoning popularity amongst tanning aficionados, commercial tanning booths haven’t followed the tanning bed into residential paradise. Issues of comfort and expense may be factors of keeping the tanning booth from going residential. Commercial Tanning Booths and Cancer? Tanning booths feature the same mechanics as all cosmetic skin altering machines featuring the use of ultraviolet rays in a starring role. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that makes tanning booths frighteningly dangerous. The NCI states that almost everyone who frequents commercial tanning establishments is putting themselves at an increase for developing skin. NCI officials have consistently warned the public that, in their view, long-term exposure to tanning facilite, like tanning booths, increases the risk of developing skin cancer.

The Two Harvests: The Harvest Of The Wicked And Righteous Revelation 14:12-20

Monday, March 24th, 2008

By Matthew Robert Payne Revelation 14:18-20 (New King James Version) 18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs. There exists a lot of excitement among many circles and prophesies starting to abound about a great harvest that is coming. In fact, it has been prophesied by true prophets and prophets whose words have already been proven true for centuries. Most of the Christian church are excited about a last days revival and a last days church and most think its going to happen before a rapture. God speaks in Revelation about this great harvest, but instead of one harvest there are two, one for the wicked, one for the righteous. Which harvest are you part of? Who is wicked you might ask? A person who grew up knowing right from wrong and choosing to do wrong? Or someone who grew up with nothing but wrong around him and grew up doing wrong? I feel the first person is more wicked! Consider that when you read the following passage. Malachi 4:1-3 (New King James Version) 1 For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up, Says the LORD of hosts, That will leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves. 3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this, Says the LORD of hosts. You see here that the wicked will be trampled by the righteous like grapes? A similar reference is found in Revelation 11 Revelation 11:1-2 (New King James Version) 1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. You see the LORD is going to allow a great slaughter come upon the earth and its going to be a great harvest. Jeremiah speaks of it. Jeremiah 25:30-31 (New King James Version)30 Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them: The LORD will roar from on high, And utter His voice from His holy habitation; He will roar mightily against His fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread the grapes, Against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31 A noise will come to the ends of the earth For the LORD has a controversy with the nations; He will plead His case with all flesh. He will give those who are wicked to the sword, says the LORD. This is a very scary harvest because right in the midst of this harvest the shepherds are going to be wailing as the LORD judges them. Jeremiah 25:34-38 (New King James Version) 34 Wail, shepherds, and cry! Roll about in the ashes, You leaders of the flock! For the days of your slaughter and your dispersions are fulfilled; You shall fall like a precious vessel. 35 And the shepherds will have no way to flee, Nor the leaders of the flock to escape. 36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a wailing of the leaders to the flock will be heard. For the LORD has plundered their pasture, 37 And the peaceful dwellings are cut down Because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38 He has left His lair like the lion; For their land is desolate Because of the fierceness of the Oppressor, And because of His fierce anger. And why are the shepherds in trouble? Jeremiah 23:10-11 (New King James Version) 10 For the land is full of adulterers; For because of a curse the land mourns. The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up. Their course of life is evil, And their might is not right. 11 For both prophet and priest are profane; Yes, in My house I have found their wickedness, says the LORD. And the adulterers are?James 4:4 (New King James Version)4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. You cannot be a friend of the world and a friend of Gods. You have to be holy and set apart for Jesus Christ. You cannot love the world and love God also. And people who are teaching this deception are in great error, who teach that you can serve mammon and God at the same time. All they seem to prophesy is great peace and prosperity and revival and for preaching that nice prediction of peace they get paid handsomely. Jeremiah speaks of them. Jeremiah 23:16-17 (New King James Version) 16 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of the LORD. 17 They continually say to those who despise Me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace; And to everyone who walks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say, No evil shall come upon you. On the people who know what good is and refuse to do it, God has only bad news. And today we are in the latter days. Jeremiah 23:19-20 (New King James Version) 19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD has gone forth in fury A violent whirlwind! It will fall violently on the head of the wicked. 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly. There are so many dreams and visions being expounded these days but there seems no hard rebukes for the church. The church needs to repent in ashes and humility before the Lord. All these sweet prophecies from dreams and visions the LORD speaks about. Jeremiah 23:28-29 (New King James Version) 28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? says the LORD. 29 Is not My word like a fire? says the LORD, And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? The last days church, God is going to raise up the five fold ministry and many churches are going to start small with unqualified and untrained shepherds and apostles save training by the Holy Spirit and massive signs and wonders are going to be wrought in these churches. The churches will be wild and grow fast and they will link up, but will mainly be outside of the mainline denominations. Sightings of Jesus will be reported among them and the healings and signs and wonders and the un-conformity among these churches and apostles and prophets will see the new movement branded as a cult. In the parable where Jesus said the rich man invited all his rich friends to a banquet, the rich friends all made excuses and did not come. In fact in one reading of the parable they even beat and killed the servants that were sent to announce the banquet. The prophets are already waring the church of Christs imminent judgement and calling them to repent and be holy and set apart and start to store their treasure in heaven and not on earth. By in large these small prophets such as me are being told to shut up and not to prophesy doom. Then the master of the feast sends out the invitation to the people on the hi-ways and the by-ways. In the West this is the homeless, the heroin addicts, the drunks, the prostitutes and the homosexuals and every other sort of the person the middle class church does not welcome in their ranks. This new church will create a massive movement and send out the open invitation to the hi-ways and by-ways people. The poor, the downtrodden, the addicted and the hopeless and they will stitch them up and heal them and teach them to prosper. And these people will tithe and give a lot of their money to the church and the signs and wonders will be powerful in this church. The true sheep, the people in other churches who dont mind mixing with the downtrodden will also come to the light and begin to worship and sell houses and sell shares and lay up their riches to this new movement that has powerful evangelists working full time in each suburb. Now the new church is going to be mainly made up with prodigal sons and when the Father welcomes them to the feast there is going to spring up jealously among the traditional church, or the older brother in the prodigal son parable. The older brothers are going to be invited into the feast and the new church, but most of them will be too angry and rather call the new churches cults and its leaders false prophets. The people who have been believers for twenty and thirty years will be very indignant that new believers in this church will be given a church to pastor within six months of being saved and this new church will be growing at a massive rate, because the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit will be found in it and the common man will be flocking to their services and outreaches to be healed. The people who are saved for years in the traditional churches will want the anointing of this new church and will complain to the Father in heaven at the injustice of it all saying that they have worked for 12 hours and through the heat of the day and yet these workers of the last hour are getting paid the same as them. And as the new church explodes and grows the shepherds in the old traditional churches will begin to lose their flock and their income will be plundered and the revival will pass them by. So my question is Which harvest are you going to be in? The harvest of the wicked or the righteous? Matthew shares his heart in these articles and can be found at http://www.online-prayer.net You can read more of his articles at his link below. If you want a copy of his upcoming book of articles which will have the first sixty of the articles on this web-site called “The Musings of a Mad Prophet” please contact Matthew via email so he can contact you around February 2007 to tell you of the progress of the book.

Senior Pen Pals

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

By Eric Morris Senior pen pals comprise a special type of pen pal correspondence. These people correspond regularly through post mail or electronic mail. Senior pen pals correspond with seniors as well as children. These pen pal clubs are trying to revive the lost art of personal correspondence. People may still illustrate their cycles of life by writing letters to each other. Senior citizens are generally lonely and they feel trapped in their last and late years. Many senior citizens have lost people that are near and dear to them. It might have been a friend, a family member, or even a spouse. As a result, these senior citizens crave to interact with other senior citizens without leaving their homes. They might be communicating with a senior in their town or with seniors that are overseas. These pen pals could interact in many ways; it might be through the Internet or by post or airmail. In spite of these different modes of communication, the best way is through the Internet. Senior pen pals could help lifting the spirits of other senior citizens as well as lonely individuals. These pen pal clubs or services help seniors to meet and interact with new people. These people may end up becoming friends; their correspondence may even lead to romance. Although there are different ways to find senior pen pals, it is a very convenient method to find them online. This is so because they are able to come across people with similar interests and traits. New senior pen pals may lead to excitement into their lives once again. Finding and interacting with different pen pals could be rewarding for senior citizens. By making new senior pen pals, people could learn a lot about different counties, people, and lifestyles. Even as senior citizen pen pals, people could learn a lot by interacting with one another. There are various ways by which people can join pen pal clubs. These are through the Internet, magazines, and newspapers. Pen Pals provides detailed information on Pen Pals, International Pen Pals, Prison Pen Pals, Military Pen Pals and more. Pen Pals is affiliated with Friends Reunited.

The Birth of Cell Phone TV

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Christine_Peppler]Christine Peppler In 2005, multimedia cell phones which provide the streaming video necessary for viewing television became a market force. More than a year later, the use of cell phone TV is still quite small but definitely growing in the US. We now see individuals in coffee shops and subways, sitting mesmerized by their tiny 3″ screens while the remainder of the population wonders if watching TV on their cell phone is for them. What Is the Video Quality Like With Cell Phone TV? For anyone considering the purchase of a multimedia phone to view TV, it is important to understand that the technology is still new and under development. The quality of the video is still evolving. The video on cell phones that is currently offered is not always fluid and sound can sometimes be muffled. However, for those investigating the service it’s important to understand that the quality can vary quite a bit by carrier as they utilize different digital technology to deliver the signal. Therefore, consumers should be sure to test out the different carriers before making a choice. As cellular carriers continue to upgrade technologies in the coming years, it would be logical to assume that video quality on cell phones will be greatly enhanced as well. What Is It Like Watching TV on a Small Cell Phone Screen? For many people, one of the primary questions about the ability to actually enjoy watching cell phone TV, is in regards to viewing entertainment and news on a tiny 2″ or 3″ screen. There are a couple of differences with cell phone TV that make the tiny screen quite tolerable although not a replacement for the great room TV. First, is the simple fact that users view the screen from only 10-12″ inches versus from 10 feet or so. The difference in viewing distance makes the tiny screen much more comfortable than many people would imagine. Another difference with watching cell phone TV is that the programming being viewed generally is not full length episodes. Much of what viewers see with cell phone TV are mini-television episodes, original content developed specifically for cell phones and other mobile devices. This prevents users from having to sit for extended periods of time holding their cell phone within 12 inches of their face. The brief episodes can provide good entertainment or information that fits nicely within a short subway commute or break in the work day. What Are the Cost Consideration of Cell Phone TV? Another question that often arises is the cost of cell phone TV. Obviously cell phones that support yet another feature generally have a higher price tag although certainly free multimedia phones can be had when committing to a 1 or 2 year cellular plan. Another cost factor is battery life. Obtaining good video consumes a lot of battery power. Manufacturers are of course continuing efforts to develop energy sources that can support the multitude of functions on our multi-tasking cell phones so this should become less of an issue over time. The other cost inherent with cell phone TV is the charge associated with the programming offered or the data plan for that carrier. Most data plans will run between $10 and $25 per month in addition to the regular calling plan however the time spent watching the video usually does not count against the air time allotted within the calling plan. What Programming Is Available on Cell Phone TV? Many cellular providers now offer some form of cell phone TV, such as Verizon’s Vcast, but there are other options as well. One service that is currently popular is MobiTV which offers viewers channels such as MSNBC, ABC News Now, CNN, Fox News, Fox Sports, ESPN, 3GTV, NBC Mobile, CNBC, CSPAN, TLC, The Discovery Channel, Weather Channel, music videos and more. Currently, cell phone TV can offer a good diversion during long waits and can keep busy people up-to-date. As with all technology, advancements with the video quality will continue in the coming years but this is the birth of cell phone TV and you are there.

The Little Known Benefits of Evening Primrose Oil and GLA for Dieting and Slimming

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

By Jennifer McNeith The essential fatty acid GLA (gamma linolenic acid) found particularly in Evening Primrose Oil and Starflower Oil isn’t often associated with slimming. In the UK it is primarily taken by women to alleviate the symptoms of Premenstral Syndrome (PMS) such as breast tenderness, bloating from fluid retention, irritability, depression and stress. GLA is thought to help keep a healthy balance of hormones in the body. What is less known are the benefits of GLA regarding weight loss. Although there have been many studies proving the benefits for weight loss, these have been overshadowed by its role as a ‘PMS Relief’ aid. One thing that I’ve noticed about health food stores is that they will often only market a particular product for one particular purpose and are often unaware of their other benefits. Sometimes the ‘official’ purpose is actually less relevant than some of the less known benefits. Take Omega 3 fish oil for example, for years marketed almost entirely as a circulation and ‘healthy heart’ supplement, is also one of the most effective treatments for depression available today. Anyway, back to GLA. GLA works to aid slimming in 2 main ways. Firstly it can be a strong metabolism booster, research has shown that GLA aids in the conversion into energy of a type of fat particularly stored by overweight people called brown adipose tissue or BAT. It also affects the conversion of glucose or blood sugar into fat. The second effect of GLA on weight loss is probably related to its better known role in lessening the symptoms on PMS by helping to maintain a healthy hormonal balance. Hormonal imbalances can lead to depression and stress which in some people can lead to over eating, fatigue and less willingness to go out and lead an active life. GLA has also been shown to increase and balance levels of the brain neurotransmitter seratonin which promotes feelings of wellness, fullness and satisfaction. To summarise some of the main points about GLA for slimming: GLA is a natural Fatty Acid found in several types of food including diary products and blackcurrant seeds, and in larger amounts in Evening Primrose Oil and Starflower (borage) Oil. The body can manufacture GLA from other vegetable oils in the diet but this conversion process can be very inefficient particularly if you drink alcohol, smoke, have diabetes, eat lots of convenience foods containing refined fats (man made trans fats) or eat lots of sugary foods. Overweight people are much more likely to be deficient in GLA GLA is effective at treating addictions and cravings. It may be particularly effective if you see your eating problem as an addictive behaviour. GLA has been found to be most effective at promoting weight loss in people who are moderately to very overweight or obese. It is less likely to help you shed those last few pounds. GLA is as important in maintaining weight as in losing it. GLA has been found to be especially effective where weight problems run in families.

By Morgan Hamilton Attaining money has always been a problem, no doubt about that. But the real problem is that we have our own selves to blame for making money such a problem.

Finding Your Genealogy

Monday, March 10th, 2008

By Kadence Buchanan One activity that many families find rewarding and exciting is researching their genealogy. Who doesn’t want to know where they came from? Plus, if you research your roots back far enough, odds are that you could be surprised with some type of connection to a historical figure. While there are many sites that provide genealogy packages, doing the work yourself can really be rewarding when it comes to getting to know your relations. First, when researching your genealogy, you should get some paperwork organized. You should create forms that you should distribute to the relatives that you know of that consist of places to fill in information regarding the births, deaths, marriages, and spouses of those that they know of in the family. Some people find it important to make the entries as complete as possible, listing family stories, occupations held, and other information about the entrants. You may also want to consider purchasing a program that helps you to log this information to ease the amount of paperwork that you will be doing. When you get information from a relation, be sure to ask them if they have any genealogical information that can help you in your hunt. Family bibles are one thing that can provide information about lineage that you may not be able to find elsewhere. Once you seem to have reached the end of the paper trail when it comes to those that you can contact, you may want to turn your search towards census records. Census records have been around for almost the complete history of America, with censuses being conducted formally since 1790. These records can provide a wealth of information when it comes to finding relations that you may not know about due to the long length of time. Other sources of records for genealogy may include birth certificates, death certificates, adoption papers, divorce papers, and school records. Searching on the internet for your family name can also prove to be effective. Now that you know the basics when it comes to finding your genealogy, indulge in it! Get your whole family in on the fun, it’s exciting for everybody to find out about their roots.
