The National Institutes of Health predict this year's flu season could be a rough one.
Last year, Americans reportedly spent nearly $6 billion on remedies for runny noses and sore throats, but some over-the-counter medications carry their own risks. High doses of acetaminophen send nearly 60,000 people to the emergency room each year.
In its January issue, Consumer Reports looks at how to survive this cold and flu season more easily.
Lisa Gill, deputy content editor for the magazine, joined "CBS This Morning" to discuss some of the treatment options you'll find at the pharmacy, common home remedies, and which ones you need to be careful when using.
"We did this report because we found in a national survey and also secret shoppers that we sent out across the country to pharmacies, there are too many products and what's [in] those products is very confusing, and chief among them is acetaminophen," Gill said. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol and is also found in hundreds of other drugstore products.
"It's a really safe drug when you take it in the maximum daily dose that the FDA tells us – 4,000 milligrams. But the surprising thing about it is just a little more than that and it starts to put you at risk for liver toxicity," Gill said.
People sometimes overdose by accident when they take several different medicines that each contain acetaminophen.
Other common drugs to be careful with are oxymetazoline, a common nasal spray that can make your congestion worse after three days of use, and allergy medications.
"Lots of people use allergy medications like cetirizine, diphenhydramine, fexofenadine, loratadine to treat runny nose and cough from a cold but research tells us they with will not work for that. They work really well for seasonal allergies but not colds," Gill said.
In addition to common medications found at the pharmacy, Consumer Reports looked into home remedies as well.
"We were happy and surprised to find out chicken soup does double duty," she said.
According to Gill, the soup has an anti-inflammatory effect, which can help with body aches, and the warm liquid helps ease congestion and sore throat.
She also endorsed a few other natural remedies, including gargling with warm saltwater to ease a sore throat, nasal rinsing with a neti pot or spray, and honey — either by the spoonful or mixed into a hot drink — to soothe a cough. (Just don't give honey to children under 1 year old; it's not safe for a baby's digestive system.)
Gill cautioned against loading up on vitamin C.
"So much vitamin C puts you at risk for kidney stones which are really, really painful. Vitamin C, the evidence shows us it might reduce the duration of the cold, but our suggestion is to get vitamin C through your diet, leafy greens and citrus, and skip the supplements."

At Lucklaw Silver Jewelry we offer you the the greatest silver jewelry you can find anywhere.
For really great jewelry however there has to be a diamond of course!
In our diamond section we want to show you how you go about buying a diamond and what you have to pay attention to!
What are the diamond 4Cs?
Look at the these diamonds:
Can you see any difference between them?
One obvious difference is apparently the size which comes down to the carat weight.
But do you really know which diamond has a higher value?
Of course, you don't!
This is what the diamond 4cs are for. These are important diamond grading parameters that basically tell you about the overall quality of a diamond.
The diamond 4Cs consist of the diamond cut, the carat weight, the color and the clarity. These are all issues that we will dive into in a moment.
Without being able to quantify the quality of a diamond like that nobody would know for sure what is the value of a diamond. The diamond 4Cs therefore serve the function of making a diamond shopper feel more at ease.
The diamond Cut
The diamond cut is the most misunderstood of all the diamond 4Cs. At the same time it is also the most important 4C characteristic in a diamond. This is due to the fact that it is the diamond cut that will be responsible for how well a diamond actually sparkles.
When looking at the left diamond you can see that it sparkles in a very flashy way and exhibits lots of fire. Fire refers to the rainbow colors that you can also see reflected back from a well cut diamond.
The right diamond however hardly exhibits any sparkle which is due to the very poor diamond cut. In fact, this is a deep diamond which has a lot of light leakage. This means that the light that could have been reflected back to you simply gets lost.
The factors that make up the diamond cut are mainly the specific proportions and angles of a diamond. The two most important factors are the crown angle and the pavilion angle. If these two are aligned in a very specific way the diamond will reflect much more light and look much more sparkly and brilliant.
The diamond cut is the one thing that should not be compromised and we recommend to always choose a diamond with the best diamond cut. This means that you should go for the "Excellent" grade if it is a diamond graded by GIA and for "Ideal" if it is an AGS graded diamond.
The diamond color
Another very important factor is the diamond color. The diamond color refers to the body hue that a diamond exhibits.
Of course you would think that normal diamonds don't have any color but simply look white. This is indeed correct.
However there are many nuances of white and usual diamonds are graded from D-Z. In general it is safe to say that diamonds until J can still look white.
Beginning from K onwards however you can see that the diamond has a slighly brown hue that gives the diamond a warmer aura.
For some people this might be a benefit but most people prefer to have a clearly white diamond. Therefore, you will have to take a thorough look at the diamond before buying it!
The diamond carat
Diamond carat actually refers to the weight of the diamond and not the size. However, it is only natural that a diamond that weighs more also appears bigger.
It is important to know that one carat equals exactly 0.2gr. Therefore usual diamonds are not heavy at all!
One thing to keep in mind when dealing with carat weight is to be aware that diamond prices increase at certain carat spots. This is the case for instance with diamonds that cross the 1.00 ct threshold or the 1.50ct threshold.
The diamond clarity
Diamond clarity is a very important factor as it refers to how clean the diamond is on the inside.
The clarity refers to how visible the inclusions of a diamond are to the naked eye. Of course, you want to have an eye clean diamond. An eye clean diamond is a diamond in which no inclusions are visible to the naked eye.
You should always try to choose an eye clean diamond because otherwise the inclusion is going to distract massively from the beauty of the diamond.
Here you can see a diamond clarity chart:
Our recommendation is to go for a VS2 clarity grade.
If you are willing to do some research SI1 diamonds can also be a great deal!
Which 4C proportions to go for?
In general it is very hard to tell which 4Cs your specific diamond should have!
It is entirely a question of your budget and what you value in a diamond. Furthermore, it is also a question of whether you want to have a diamond with the best price performance or rather a premium diamond with premium features.
In particular with diamonds, paying for premium features can mean paying for features that you cannot make out with your bare eyes.
This is why we are not able to tell you exactly which diamond proportions are the best for you.
But if you want to know more about diamond related issues and receive more diamond education we recommend you to go to the diamond blog of Your Diamond Teacher:
In general it can be said that for buyers who want to get the best value for their money we don't recommend to go better than a G color. And we also don't recommend to go better than a VS2 clarity grade!
In our eyes these are premium features that you should not necessarily pay for! Unless of course you want to!
If you have any more questions on any of the diamond 4Cs please get in touch with us!

In developing world, an expensive push to reduce cooking fire deaths falls short
For many decades, it was one of the globe's most underappreciated health menaces: household pollution in developing countries, much of it smoke from cooking fires.
The dangerous smoke — from wood, dung or charcoal fires used by 3 billion people in villages and slums across Africa, Central America and Asia — was estimated by health officials to shorten millions of lives every year. The World Health Organization in 2004 labeled household pollution, "The Killer in the Kitchen." Women and children nearest the hearth paid the greatest price.
If the health costs were not ominous enough, many environmental advocates worried that what was known as "biomass" cooking also had potentially grave consequences for the planet's climate. Emissions from the fires were contributing to global warming, it was feared, and the harvesting of wood for cooking was helping to diminish forests, one of nature's carbon-absorbing bulwarks against greenhouse gases.
In 2010, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves was formed to help mount a sustained effort at tackling the threats posed by household pollution. The alliance pledged to help engineer the distribution of 100 million cookstoves, small-scale appliances designed to cut fuel use and toxic emissions in impoverished households worldwide by 2020.
The United Nations Foundation was a founding partner in the effort. Hillary Clinton, then the U.S. Secretary of State, lent the support of the American government, promising money and the resources of a handful of agencies. "Millions of lives could be saved and improved," Clinton said when the alliance's formation was announced, adding that clean stoves could be as transformative as vaccines.
Eight years and $75 million later, however, the Alliance has fallen well short of its ambitious health and climate goals.
An array of studies, including some financed by the Alliance itself, have shown that the millions of biomass cookstoves of the kind sold or distributed in the effort do not perform well enough in the field to reduce users' risk of deadly illnesses like heart disease and pneumonia.
The stoves also have not delivered much in the way of climate benefits. It turns out emissions from cooking fires were less of a warming threat than feared, and that — outside of some de-forestation hot spots — the harvesting of wood for cooking fires only modestly reduces the sustainability of forests.
The lack of impact on a warming planet, in turn, has undercut the Alliance's plan to raise additional millions in investments from corporations eager to underwrite the cookstove movement as a way of compensating for their own emissions or polishing their records for environmental responsibility.
Defending the effort
The Alliance's top officials do not dispute that they have met with an array of disappointments. For one thing, they said, some of the countries and companies that pledged tens of millions of dollars early on failed to deliver, which they blamed on shifting priorities and agendas, not the Alliance's struggles.
Kip Patrick, the Alliance's senior director of global partnerships and communications, pointed to the effort's benefits, saying the millions of biomass stoves distributed so far have cut the time women spend foraging for wood and costs to poor households of purchasing fuels such as charcoal.
Patrick added that the Alliance had acknowledged its disappointing initial results and adjusted its strategy for going forward.
The Alliance's plans for the future come with something of an ironic twist: It will now make greater efforts to promote and distribute stoves that use propane, a fossil fuel, the same blue-flamed byproduct of gas drilling contained in cylinders under countless American backyard grills. (Outside of the U.S. propane is most commonly called liquefied petroleum gas, or lpg.) These stoves, it turns out, burn much more cleanly and efficiently than nearly all biomass stoves, reducing the harmful smoke given off during cooking while having a negligible impact on the climate.
In an interview last summer, Radha Muthiah, then the Alliance's chief executive, said the Alliance was never against propane stoves, but should have been more direct about its openness to a fossil-fuel solution. "We really should have been launched as the Global Alliance for Clean Cooking," she said. "You cannot talk about stoves without talking about fuels. It's half the equation."
Reid Detchon, the United Nations Foundation's vice president for energy and climate strategy, said he, too, supports the push behind propane, though he acknowledged that, on the global scale, the foundation has a bias toward promoting renewable energy.
Kirk R. Smith, a professor of global environmental health at the University of California, Berkeley, who has likely done more work on the health effects of cooking pollution in the developing world than anyone, said the Alliance's setbacks reflected "a classic issue of identifying a problem and thinking you know the solution just because you know the problem." Previous tries by outsiders to reinvent how the developing world cooks also yielded little, he acknowledged.
"Maybe there will be that magic stove eventually," Smith said of the long push behind improved biomass stoves. "But after 60 years it's beginning to look a little doubtful."
Decades of danger
Public health researchers have long had concerns about the dangers of open cooking fires. When fuel is burned inefficiently — particularly hunks of solid fuel, like wood or dried dung — it produces a dizzying and dangerous array of noxious gases and particles containing traces of dozens of toxic constituents.
The main worry is with the tiniest motes — known as PM 2.5, particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns across. (An average human hair is 70 microns across.) These particles penetrate deeply into the lungs, and the smallest, as recent research shows, can cross into the bloodstream.
One of the earliest hints that rural cooking smoke was causing significant illness came in a 1959 paper written by the pioneering Indian cardiologist Sivaramakrishna Iyer Padmavati (who, at 101, is still practicing). Padmavati and her collaborators were weighing possible causes of cor pulmonale, a failure of the right side of the heart linked to lung problems. The majority of cases were not city residents, according to the study.
"In the rural and semirural areas, the houses were mostly 1- or 2-roomed mud huts in which several members of the family lived together," the authors wrote, adding, "There was no outlet for smoke with the result that the house was filled with smoke when the family meal was cooked."
A vast body of literature has accrued since, linking smoke from cooking on solid fuels to a host of diseases, with India's toll alone estimated by some at from 1.1 million to 1.4 million premature deaths a year. It is a global loss of life that, by some estimates, is greater than that from all the air pollution from fossil fuels burned in power plants, factories and traffic jams.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cleveland State men's basketball team opened the Horizon League portion of its schedule Friday evening, dropping an 89-77 decision to Oakland. The Vikings now stand at 5-9 overall this season and 0-1 in league play.
Tyree Appleby led four Vikings in double figures with 21 points – his fifth 20-point game of the season.
Jaalam Hill was just shy of posting his first double-double of the year, finishing with 13 points and nine rebounds, with his nine boards leading all Vikings.
Stefan Kenic and Dontel Highsmith both added 11 points for Cleveland State, with Highsmith's 11 points coming off the bench.
As a team, the Vikings recorded 14 assists, including six from Appleby.
Hill rounded out his box score line with two assists, two blocked shots and three steals, with the two blocks and three steals marking team-highs for the game.
"We knew coming in, Oakland was a very explosive offensive team, and we didn't want it to be an offensive game. We wanted to be very tough and tenacious defensively, and we were not tough enough defensively. We looked like a young group in their first league game, going up against mostly upperclassmen, and that lack of experience crept up on us throughout the game," head coach Dennis Felton said.
After trailing for the entire first half, the Vikings made a surge late in the period, going on a 9-2 run that eventually tied the contest at 33-33 on a Jaalam Hill layup. This run for the Vikings was sparked by a Tyree Appleby three-pointer – his third of the half – and also included baskets from Stefan Kenic and Seth Millner.
Despite the late push from the Vikings, Oakland responded with a 7-2 run of its own, but an Appleby dunk as time expired put the halftime score at 40-37 Golden Grizzlies.
Both teams then traded baskets over the first part of the second period, until six straight points from Oakland put the Grizzlies up 51-42 at the 15:06 mark.
The Vikings were able to slowly work their way back into the contest over the next three minutes then, as a pair of free throws from Dontel Highsmith and Appleby brought Cleveland State within seven points at 59-52 with just over 12 minutes left on the clock.
"It was one heck of a game, we are always going to compete really hard, and we usually always fight and give ourselves a chance no matter what. That's the way basketball games go, they turn on a small stretch, and Oakland was able to take advantage of one of these stretches turning the momentum to their favor," Felton said.
The Vikings would stay within striking distance over the next few minutes, as Cleveland State closed the gap to four points at 61-57 on a Kasheem Thomas layup at the 11:03 mark. This would be as close as the Vikings would get though, as Oakland was able to extend its lead over the final part of the second half, pulling away with the 89-77 victory.
Despite the loss, Cleveland State was able to force Oakland into 13 turnovers, turning these miscues into 21 points.
The Vikings shot 43-percent from the floor, including a .458 clip from three-point and a .909 clip from the free throw line.
The Vikings will continue their #HLMBB opening homestand by hosting Detroit Mercy on Sunday, December 30, with tip set for 7:00 p.m.

Zinnia Gupte: Sacred Dance Teacher
It's been famously said that well-behaved women seldom make history. Behold testimony! Ibiza's very own history-making, globe-trotting 'Sacred Dance' teacher Zinnia Gupte may have impeccable manners (dignity being her middle name) but the itty-bitty glint of mischief in her perfectly-kohled eye is well on its way to dramatically changing the future for women the globe over.
Born in India and raised in New York, Zinnia's Ibiza classes and (and trust us, mesmerising) dance performances are based on the teachings of the Kama Sutra. Coming from a long line of Shakti Priestesses (translated as 'female spiritual teacher from the East'), Zinnia has been groomed to teach 'the path of love' from a young age, studying scriptures and joining rituals with the women in her family.
'I dance the stories of the Goddesses, ancient women of power,' explains Zinnia. 'Queens, courtesans, priestesses, mystical women and warriors of a long gone time, whose stories must be told now to awaken women to their full power'. Dressed in mystical veils and tinkling jewellery, her graceful hand gestures and delightful eye signals, set to mysterious eastern music, invoke the ancient feminine archetypes of mother, lover, warrior and priestess.
This is serious stuff! Maybe it's Zinnia's deep, hypnotic voice or her regal, enticing energy but there is something about being in her company that just makes you feel good about yourself. Zinnia's classes are beautiful, fun, expressive – and easy enough for any woman to drop-in and leave feeling divine!
As is often the way with Ibiza residents, it was a journey through hardship that inspired a metamorphosis in Zinnia. After her marriage broke down in 2011 she left New York City and her high-flying career as a director of digital strategy behind and came to the island on holiday. Speaking frankly she divulges, 'I came to Ibiza divorced, without a home, broken, with no hope for the future. The spirit and healing power of this island cleansed me. She breathed life back into my bones… regenerated me. Now I share this ancient feminine path through dance to awaken other women to their right to shine.'
You may have been lucky enough to catch Zinnia performing at Atzaro's 1001 Nights, Casa India Ibiza's grand opening or the Ibiza Spirit Festival. If not, exciting plans for 2014 include Dance of the Kama Sutra and Shakti Coaching Workshops for the third year running at Healing Ibiza Day (last year saw the class spontaneously dissolve into tears of joy!), Shakti Flow classes at Destino Pacha and also in the priestess' pipeline is a Sacred Dance Ibiza fashion line, with fabulous fashion shows planned at Atzaro and Nagai. Zinnia has even been invited to speak at the 36th 'World Congress on Dance Research' this year in Athens, where she also frequently performs.
Meanwhile, here in Ibiza Zinnia's 'Courtesan Classes' at Atzaro this winter offer inspiration on how to be the perfect sensual lover! 'This ain't no disco honey', she quips as she parts, that mischievous glint in her eye now suddenly serious. 'I'm ready to turn shame on its head.'

Swimming Your Way To A More Fit You
Are you at the stage in your life when you would like to eat healthier but just don't know where to begin? Many people just are misinformed with nutrition. Applying the correct knowledge will help you feel better.
One healthy addition to your daily diet is garlic. Try around 660 to 900 mg to begin with. It is known for fighting illnesses like heart disease and cancer. Garlic also helps your organs fight against bacteria and fungus. Improve your daily health by adding garlic, either whole or in extract form, to your diet.
Avoid too much salt. Most fast foods and other junk foods are full of salt. Once you start to eat less salt from day to day, you will notice that you become more sensitive to its taste. Foods that are not healthy for you might suddenly be too salty. Your cravings will diminish.
You should ensure that you get plenty of selenium in your diet. The mineral selenium is an antioxidant which contributes to tissue elasticity and can prevent premature skin aging. Selenium is great to protect your skin from the sun and can neutralize the free radicals' harmful effects. Wheat germ, tuna, brown rice, eggs, garlic, and brazil nuts are all high in selenium.
Dark Chocolate
Choose chocolate that is dark instead of the white or milk varieties. This kind contains more of the compounds that make chocolate healthy than the others. Dark chocolate can improve your overall cholesterol level if you eat it over time. Make sure that the majority of your dark chocolate is cocoa to reap these benefits. Don't eat too much since it has tons of calories.
Choose lean proteins for a heart healthy diet. Chicken and turkey are two popular sources of protein. The best options for poultry are baking, broiling or roasting, but frying should be avoided. Try not to eat the dark meat, since white meat is the healthier choice.
Regularly eat foods that are abundant in calcium. Foods that are rich sources of calcium include milk, cheeses, nuts, leefy green vegetables, tofu and apricots, among many others. Calcium is a necessity for strong teeth and bones. Osteoporosis, a brittle bone disease, can be caused by calcium deficiency. Osteoporosis, a very painful disease, gradually causes bones to become soft and brittle.
Eat foods high in zinc for a better immune system. Zinc is a great way to boost immunities, foster quick recovery from illness and stave off future sickness. Great zinc sources include pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, strawberries, and peaches. These foods also have important antioxidants.
One idea about nutrition is to cut grains out of your diet for a while. In the past, humans have survived off of nothing but meats, produce, and legumes. In the grand scheme of things it's only been recent that grains, which are basically an invention, have started to be eaten. Eliminating grains might help you to feel healthier.
Beets are great for your diet, provided they are fresh and not processed. Fresh beets will give you a lot of minerals and fiber, but beets that are canned may give you a lot of sodium. Steam some beet greens; add beetroot to salads.
Be wise when shopping for whole-grain foodstuffs. You can not use color alone to decide if a food is whole-grain or not. Many times companies will label products as whole grain when they aren't. Always go over the list of ingredients and the table of nutritional values.
With the tips and techniques you have read, you should be on your way to a better life. Knowledge is useless without action, so put what you have learned here into practice and soon you should feel stronger and have more energy because your diet will be providing your body with proper fuel for better functioning and performance.

What should I be looking for in a husband?
Question: "What should I be looking for in a husband? What does the Bible say about finding a husband?"
Answer: When a Christian woman is looking for a husband, she should seek a man "after God's own heart" (Acts 13:22). The most important relationship that any of us have is our personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. That relationship comes before all others. If our vertical relationship with the Lord is as it should be, then our horizontal relationships will reflect that reality. Therefore, a potential husband should be a man who has his focus upon walking in obedience to God's Word and who seeks to live so that his life brings glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
What are some other qualities to look for? The apostle Paul gives us the qualities we should look for in a husband in 1 Timothy chapter 3. In this passage are the qualifications for a leader in the church body. However, these qualities should grace the lives of any man who walks "after God's heart." The qualities can be paraphrased as follows: a man should be patient and controlled in his demeanor, not filled with pride but of sober mental attitude, able to master his emotions, given to graciousness to others, able to patiently teach, not given to drunkenness or uncontrolled use of any of God's gifts, not prone to violence, not overly focused upon the details of life but focused upon God, not apt to be a hot-head or be thin-skinned so that he takes offense easily, and grateful for what God has given, rather than envious of what gifts others have received.
The above qualities describe a man who is actively engaged in the process of becoming a mature believer. That is the type of man a woman should look for as a potential husband. Yes, physical attraction, similar interests, complementary strengths and weaknesses, and the desire for children are things to consider. These things, though, must be secondary to the spiritual qualities a woman should look for in a man. A man you can trust, respect, and follow in the path of godliness is of far greater value than a man of good looks, fame, power, or money.
Finally, when "looking" for a husband, we must be surrendered to God's will in our lives. Every woman wants to find her "prince charming," but the reality is that she will probably marry a man with as many flaws as she has. Then, by God's grace, they will spend the rest of their lives together learning how to be a partner to, and servant of, each other. We must enter into the second most-important relationship of our lives (marriage), not under an emotional cloud, but with eyes wide open. Our most important relationship, with our Lord and Savior, has to be the focus of our lives.

A TERRIFIED pensioner was left shaking in fear after a powerful banger was thrown in her face as she was leaving church.
She came very close to being seriously injured and was left with burns on her wrist and gunpowder marks on her hands and coat after the incident at St Luke's Church on Sunday night.
Around 100 people were leaving church when the attack happened as the OAP was walking through the porch.
And in another frightening incident a mile away, the vicar of St Margaret's, the Rev Maureen Read, almost lost control of her car as a huge banger was thrown under her vehicle.
Now Mrs Read and the vicar of St Luke's, the Rev Geoff Turner, are both backing MP Jim Dobbin's call for fireworks to be restricted to organised displays.
Mr Turner said he could not believe how anyone could be so irresponsible as to throw a firework into a church porch while a pensioner was walking through.
The 79-year-old, who has not been named, was leaving for home after a Songs of Praise service on Sunday evening when the youth struck.
The partially deaf woman saw her attacker's silhouette as he lobbed the firework and instinctively put her hands up to protect her face as the banger exploded close to her head.
She was so traumatised by the attack she had to be helped back into church and was comforted by other churchgoers until her daughter arrived to collect her.
"I really do think the time has come to ban fireworks for anything but organised displays," Mr Turner said.
"I can't believe how anyone could be so stupid. Someone could have been very seriously hurt. This lady was very badly knocked back."
The woman's daughter said: "I dread to think what would have happened if she had not put her hands up to her face. My mother is 79-years-old and this has hit her very badly."
The incident came just days after the problem of fireworks was raised at the township meeting.
Inspector Angela Bradley said the fire brigade had carried out checks to ensure retailers were complying with the law.
But she said it had to be assumed that fireworks sold legally were being passed on to mindless idiots.
She told the Advertiser: "My personal view is that there should be a total ban on fireworks sales, except for organised displays."

OK, this transformation is a bit extreme…but gladiator sandals got a bad rap at first too, right?
The hard part about transitioning from winter to spring is not parting with the weather, but rather parting with the footwear staples you loved to wear. Personally, I'm a huge boots fan, but come spring time, it seems silly to pair a thick, sturdy pair with cut off jorts or a gauzy dress. Luckily, many of our favorite details are mimicked in styles appropriate for spring. Check out our favorite picks below:

Helen's guide to growing strawberries
Helen Simpson, from the Mushroom Shed, tells you all you need to know about growing strawberries. She has also written articles about growing basil, brassicas, chilli, coriander, cucurbits, garlic, ginger & turmeric, mint, raspberries, rhubarb, tomatoes and lesser known herbs.
With the leaves now falling from the trees, some plants will be starting their winter dormancy in a few weeks. Strawberries are one of these plants. This means that it is an excellent time to plant strawberry runners.
Runners or seeds?
Strawberry plants can be grown from either seeds or runners.
Growing from seed is time consuming, as the plant can take up to 2 years to fruit. The seed is small, fiddly to handle and germinate and can be hard to find.
However, for those who like a challenge, after chilling the seed for 2-4 weeks in a closed container in the freezer, plant the seed in a good seed raising mix in small punnets or containers. Sieve some of the seed raising mix over them to lightly cover, and then keep moist. Seedlings can take up to 2 months to appear. Transplant to a larger pot when around 3 leaves have formed.
The seed is usually started in Spring or Autumn. The easiest strawberry to grow from seed is the tiny Alpine strawberry and its seed is available from many suppliers.
I have also heard of people picking the seed off the outside of strawberries with a toothpick and attempting to sprout plants from this seed. However, I have no experience with this method.
The alternative way of growing strawberry plants is from runners or established plants (which have themselves been started from runners). A 'runner' is a long shoot sent out from the original strawberry plant, which can itself establish a new plant once it touches the ground.
Runners are available from around mid-May onwards and should be purchased as 'virus free' to prevent receiving a diseased plant. Runners have little or no leaves and consist of a 'crown' and root system. They are the strawberry plants' dormant stage.
Select runners which are moist, as this is an indication that they have been properly stored in a cool room before sale. Runners with dry roots may not establish. Plant as soon as possible after you purchase them, keeping moist until you do. Watch out for the formation of a grey, furry mould – wash off if some of this forms or, if badly affected, discard the runner and start afresh.
Plant the runner with the roots under the soil level and the crown sitting on top of the soil. Do not double back the roots when planting – if they are too long, simply trim to around 10 cm.
The most popular way to plant the runners is in zig-zag shaped rows about 30-35cm apart.
Soil preparation and aspect
If planting in the garden, prepare the soil as you would for a normal veggie patch – friable, with compost, manure, lime, etc. However, avoid putting fertiliser directly into the hole in which you plant the strawberries – too much nitrogen can produce huge leaf growth and not much fruit. Mulch with straw to keep dirt off plants and moisture in.
Strawberries can also be planted in pots or hanging baskets, in which case a good quality potting mix can be used. Liquid fertilise every month or so.
Plant in full sun if possible, however some shade will be tolerated.
Pest and disease management
Slugs, birds, lizards and all manner of critters enjoy eating strawberries. This can be a constant battle. Netting will prevent birds, as will growing in hanging baskets or containers on walls where birds cannot easily perch. Nets will also deter possums. Birds can be tricked by growing the white strawberry (more about coloured strawberries below), so they don't know it's ripe. Use your favourite method of slug prevention.
Strawberry flowers appear on plants around September/October and plants will fruit from November onwards, continuing into March.
After plants have finished fruiting, you can cut them back to around 10cm – re-planting any runners if more plants are desired. Every 3-4 years, consider replacing your plants to prevent virus build-up and plant in a new bed.
Strawberries come large or small, in different colours (white, pink, red), and with different flavours.
The Alpine strawberries are the smallest. Red Gauntlet and Tioga are some older, reliable, commercial varieties, of which Tioga is sweeter and Red Gauntlet less flavoursome.
Sweetheart produces a heavy crop with small, sweet fruit.
The Albion strawberry is a more recent variety which is day neutral – that is, flower buds commence with less regard to day length than for other varieties. This enables more continuous fruit production. The Albion strawberry has a very sweet flavour, so is ideal for desserts.
And finally … how many plants?
One plant is will not provide a family feast – I would try at least 10 plants and some people recommend 30. Of course, this depends how often you like eating them!

Hi this my first try at growing strawberries in a couple of planter boxes sitting at the front of my garden. They get plenty of sun but I can pick them up and move location when temp gets in the hi 30s plus if that is advisable. Also, I was told to cover them with plastic sheets for protection. Is this correct and, if so, what is the best way to set it up? Thanks.
Thanks for your article Helen! I've got @15 strawberries (ranging from alpine and heirloom to commercial varieties) in good potting mix on my north-facing windowsill (planted from runners @mid Aug, as too cold outside; am in western districts, 30km west of Geelong). Is it too late to plant them in my veggie patch? What's the best non-toxic powdery mildew management (have just discovered some white fluff under some leaves and on a few fruit)? Thanks in advance!
Hi Eliza,
Plant your strawberries out now, as this is the time for them to start growing. The best treatment for mildew is fresh air and breeze – and not letting water sit on the plants for too long. You can confidently clip off any leaves with the mildew on, and the new leaves should grow without it. Regards, Helen
Hi Helen, I am in The Channel, below Hobart Tasmania but on waterfront. I have a raised strawberry bed in a relatively warm, sheltered, north facing spot with strawberry plants from last year with still healthy green leaves (I removed any yellowing ones) and some tiny fruit on most plants, that have gone into dormancy, not advancing but not dying back either. I started to cut them off but thought maybe they might just be sitting until weather warms and produce early fruit. This is first I have seen this and think you might be right about new variety. Should I cut these off or let them stay on? Also if leaves look new green and healthy should I not cut them back in winter?
Hi Liz,
I'd recommend cutting the fruit off to conserve the plant's energy through dormancy period, but keep the green leaves – no great harm in doing this. Good luck with the Spring production! Regards, Helen
We live near Warragul – can I start to cut back my strawberry plants now?
Hi, Julie. Yes, but I'd wait a little longer – until the depths of winter, when dormancy is more likely. Regards, Helen.
Hi Helen,
I am located at bayside of Melbourne. I have planted my strawberries in rectangular pots two years ago. And I have enjoyed abundance of strawberries this year. How and when should I thin out each plant?
I would appreciate your advice. Thank you. Kind regards, Juliana.
Hi Juliana.
Your plants will go into a dormancy stage in a few weeks when the weather gets very cold (i.e. leaves will die off and the plants will cease growing). Once this happens, I'd recommend digging up the plants and refreshing the soil. Then divide the plants – cut off any 'runners' (i.e. small plants that have radiated out from the main plant). The runners can then be established as new plants and the 'old' plants can be trimmed of their old leaves and re-planted. Don't be concerned about keeping soil on the roots as you do this. It will be a while before your plants start growing strongly again once re-planted – this will happen once the weather warms up again.
Regards, Helen.
Hello, Helen, and thank you for your informative site! My husband has just covered my strawberry plants with 10cm of compost, will they shoot through that in the spring or do I need a thinner layer of compost?
Hi, Naomi. The 'head' of the strawberry plant will need to sit on top of the soil or mulch. So, make sure it's exposed. Regards, Helen.
Hi, I live near Ballarat and we experience frosts and cold winters. I have some runners that I would like to plant now in April. Should I plant them straight into my garden beds or first into pots? If into the garden beds, how should I protect them from frost? Thanks
Hi Rebecca, you can plant them straight into garden beds. The good news is they unaffected by frost. Over winter, they will grow very little (if at all) and their leaves may go brown as they go into a winter dormancy. Their leaves will then grow again in Spring. Regards, Helen.
Hi Helen,
I am situated on a farm in north eastern victoria. I have built six raised garden beds approx 10×3 feet and 3 feet high. I have about 50 strawberry plants in one bed and they have produced plenty of fruit and they have also produced plenty of runners which I am separating and re-planting for next season. Most I will give to my local community and friends. Is it wrong to re-plant in the same bed or where I grew tomatoes last year even though I refurbish these beds with mushroom and sugarcane compost each year (plus chicken /cow/sheep manure)? I would appreciate your thoughts and advice.
Many thanks.
Hi Adrian,
They should be fine in your replenished beds where you grew the strawberries last, however I'd steer away from the old tomato beds, in case any tomato virus is transferred. Helen
Hi Helen.
I have my strawberries in one of the fruit boxes and this is their second year. Over the winter they had so many runners which I left so that the box is now just a mass of plants. Last year there were many strawberries but this year it is mostly leaves. Should I thin the box out do you think? I am wondering if not enough sunlight is getting to them.
Hi Jenny, I'm assuming you have no flowers either, which are an indication strawberries are coming. Yes, I'd thin them out, so sunlight can get in. Also feed them with a liquid fertiliser. The good news is there is still plenty of time to get strawberries from them. Regards, Helen
Hi, I live at the base of the Dandenongs and my strawberries are still fruiting, and have lots of flowers. Is this normal for this time of year? Regards, Gina
Hi Regina,
Normally, no, it's not usual for this to happen as the strawberries go dormant in winter. However, with the newer varieties of strawberries, some have a greatly extended fruiting season – you may have one of these types. Regards, Helen
I have about 30 plants in pots … some old and some runners that have rooted. I'm in Melbourne. What is the best way to overwinter the strawberry plants in pots? Thanks
Hi Rima,
Strawberries become dormant in winter. I'd shake them out of the pots, trim off the dead leaves, separate the runners off and re-plant in new potting mix in your pots. This can be done any time from now, over the winter months. They will need to be done before they start getting their new growth in Spring. Regards, Helen
When is the best time to germinate strawberry seeds in Dromana, South Eastern Victoria.
How to take care of them in winter?
Hi Fathi, in winter, strawberry plants go into dormancy and may lose most of their leaves. You can separate the runners off at this time to grow new plants from them if you like. The original plant can be left in place; however, if you want to move it to another spot, or enrich the soil, winter dormancy is a good time to do this. Come Spring, new leaves will appear. Regards, Helen
Hi Helen, I'm in the north part of the Mornington Peninsula and it's the end of June and none of my strawberries are even remotely dormant – some are flowering (alas not really fruiting) and some aren't but none of them have lost any leaves. Anyhow … I'd like to improve the soil they're in. Can I apply aged horse manure or will that result in too much green growth? I was planning on adding pine needles over the top as well.
Hi Kassey,
It may be that your climate is not cold enough for total dormancy with your strawberries – particularly if you don't get frosts – and/or you have an everbearing variety. Assuming it's your coldest time around now then, yes, I'd enrich the soil they are in now – cow or chicken manure is better than horse manure, which can tend to carry grass seeds through. My internet research indicates pine needles are great mulch – so go ahead with this too. Regards, Helen
If you wish to dig up an existing plant crop & re-plant in a new area (having very few runners due to mulching), can the original plants be freshened up by trimming & splitting & then be re-used? The original patch is now 3 years old. Fine, deep seated, matted weed roots are a constant problem since the time of the original planting.
Hi Steven,
Yes, if your plants are looking healthy then they can be trimmed, split, moved and re-planted. The best time to do this is winter, during their dormant period. If they look unhealthy or diseased, I'd start with a fresh lot. Regards, Helen.
I have been told to remove runners from plants to encourage more fruit. Is this correct?

Close existing Most popular tags Click to select: Show all741Tags Show only most popular Opening all... {{Title}} ({{ItemsCount}}) Last year, we spoke with several ASDA leaders from the Dental College of Georgia who were just beginning their new leadership roles—one year later, we decided to follow up and see what they've learned, experienced, and changed since 2017. This article is a continuation of a piece that appeared in the May 2018 issues of GDA Action. Dahlia Levine 2017-18 State Association Liaison I was so proud to see the launch of the GDA-DCG mentorship program after working on it for over a year. When I first suggested the program, there was a bit of hesitation given that similar efforts had struggled in the past. Ultimately, though, there were over 80 student-dentist pairs! I hope that this program continues on and helps to bridge the gap between dental students and real-world dentistry. I found that as is common, logistics within an institution are always challenging—even more so when trying to connect two large institutions like the GDA and DCG. Despite the fact that both students and dentists expressed interest in a mentor program, implementation took about a year. Fortunately, we had support from leaders in both places to help us overcome red tape and make our dream a reality. I was, and continue to be, amazed at the amount of time dentists volunteer from their busy schedules to participate in organized dentistry. The GDA as an abstract seems self-sustaining but having had a chance to peer inside the organization it is clearly sustained through passionate individuals. I gained an appreciation for the camaraderie and creativity that exists in the dental community by serving as GDA liaison. Behind the white coats and suits are passionate, caring and fun-loving people working to improve healthcare for the citizens of Georgia. On a personal note, serving as GDA Liaison has deepened my desire to give back to both the dental community and underserved populations. Some of the most memorable moments as liaison were from ASDA conferences in Nashville, Orlando and Washington D.C. It was inspiring to see dental students from across the country walking the halls of Washington, unified behind efforts to address student debt and access to care. Next year, I will be a resident at the Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at the Charlie Norwood VA in Augusta.

Spring brings warmer temperatures and an abundance of blooming nature to explore, which means plenty of opportunities for fun outdoors. Get your kids outside this season with these simple springtime activities.
Have a picnic.
You don't even have to leave home! Take lunch outside in the yard, or head to a local park, spread out a picnic blanket and enjoy the sunshine together.
Draw with sidewalk chalk.
Everyone can get in on this activity! Make a chalk-sterpiece with your kids, or aim to create the world's longest hop-scotch. The possibilities are endless!
Go for a nature walk.
Spring is a great time to get out on a local trail or walking path and explore all the wonderful nature in bloom. You could even try a nature scavenger hunt!
Fly a kite.
Springtime breezes make for ideal kite flying weather. Make your own homemade kites, or pick up some cheap kid's kites at your local dollar store!
Go for a bike ride.
Riding bikes is a great way to get exercise and enjoy time outdoors. If your little one is too small to ride, try a bicycle trailer that can attach to your bike so everyone can go along for the ride. Be sure to wear a helmet!
Blow bubbles.
Buy some bubbles or make your own DIY bubble solution, then head outside and let them fly for easy entertainment!
Plant some flowers.
Kids will love helping you dig into the dirt to plant your flower garden, and will gain a sense of accomplishment when it's all done. You can even plant a butterfly garden and enjoy watching it attract the beautiful bugs together!
Plant a veggie garden.
Planting veggies, watching them grow and then eating them together will instill a new appreciation and understanding of where our food comes from in your kids. It's also a great way to eat healthy! If you don't have much space, consider planting a small container or vertical garden.
Make a bird feeder.
It doesn't have to be fancy! There are plenty of easy DIY bird feeders you can make with your kids to hang in your yard. They'll love watching the birds enjoy it!
Feed the ducks.
Take your kids to the local pond, lake or river to watch and feed the ducks there. Instead of stale bread, which can be harmful to their stomachs, bring your ducky friends some corn, rice, birdseed, oats or grapes to munch on.

Fresco Brick Wall Spray Paint Prints – Occupy Brick Walls
These are some new prints I am taking to Y-Que Trading Post for the weekend. I plan to set them up in the front window and in the back where I have a Brick Wall that has interchangable rectangles like the ones shown here. I have been streamlining the brick making process, but I pumped these out for fun to display in the store. I tried not to make any sense of the images, besides they will make up a wall and they all have the word OCCUPY in black across them. Each piece measures 16" X 19" and they are made from old t-shirt printing frames with a combination of gypsum plaster materials and paints...I'm thinking of selling them for around $50, but I'm negotiable. Ideally these brick panels were going to be for people to buy so that they could make brick wall spray paint art themselves and hang in their home, but I couldn't resist using every one I could get my hands on for the OCCUPY project. Get it, OCCUPY WALL versus OCCUPY WALL STREET. I thought it was clever at the time.

How Can You Educate Your Kids about Finance?
Recent research from the National Foundation shows many Americans are struggling to understand personal finance. Nearly half of Americans gave themselves a C or lower in personal finance knowledge. This could be due to the fact that few are receiving personal finance education in school, college, or in the workplace. In fact, another study by the Investor Education Foundation found only one in five Americans received such instruction.
Since so few people are receiving a personal finance education, it is important to teach your kids these valuable life skills at home. Here are a few ways to get started:
- Show them how to create a budget. You can use your own budget, or help them create one of their own by using their allowance and any expenses for which they are responsible. While it is never too early to start educating kids about finances, this is especially important if you have a working teen who is responsible for their own car expenses.
- Teach them the importance of saving. Ask them what sort of goals they have in mind and show them how to save a portion of their income towards those goals. It is a good idea to have them create both short- and long-term savings goals.
- Explain what debts you have. It is possible your child does not understand how borrowing works, so you want to explain credit cards, mortgages, and other loans.
In addition to these conversations, consider playing financial games, such as Cashflow for Kids, Life, Monopoly, or Pay Day.
Whichever method you choose, it is never too early to start talking to your kids about money.

Every Friday, Missouri Star Quilt Company puts a new video on YouTube. I need another project like I need another hole in my head but I couldn't help myself. As soon as I saw Friday's video I pictured the quilt in red and brown. I thought it would be a quick weekend project using the strips from the swaps I participated in a couple of years ago. Each block needs 18.5″ of each of the 2 main fabrics. We swapped half width of fabric so the strips should have been long enough. I was dismayed to discover that most of the red strips were only 15-16″ long. I must have cut off a 2.5″ square for another project and not remembered doing it. That meant I had to go through all the strips and check the length – time consuming. I finally found 23 strips that were long enough and read as red. Some of the swap strips were too pink, too purplish, too rusty, etc. The brown strips were fine although some were a little wider than the red strips. I don't believe I'll be swapping again. Kind of disappointing.
I finally got to the point where I could make the first blocks. Since I was working with 2.5″ strips and flippy corners, of course I had to sew a second seam to get a bonus triangle square. I didn't want to waste time drawing lines so I needed to modify the tool I'm using to sew the diagonal seams.
According to Bonnie Hunter's bonus triangle tip, the seams for a 2.5″ square should be 3/8″ apart. I added a piece of colored tape 3/8″ to the left of the center line of the tool. I sewed the first seam from corner to corner lining it up with the center line as instructed. For the second seam, I lined up the first seam with the right edge of the colored tape I added.
That's how I do the flippy triangles and get the bonus triangles without wasting time drawing lines. This technique is more accurate for me. Your mileage may vary.
So far I've made 8 blocks. Once I got the procedure down making the blocks picked up speed, though I'll never be as fast as Jenny Doan.
I'm handling the bonus triangles as I go, pressing them and cutting off the dog ears. I'd like to sew them up as I go as well so I don't end up with another bag of parts. I'm having analysis paralysis – can't decide which configuration to use.
I could do pinwheels or square in a square.
I could do a sort of checkerboard. Ignore the bottom right set – I didn't notice I laid them out wrong for this photo.
I could do parallelograms.
I could do broken dishes.
I'm sure there are some other layouts that I didn't think of.
Should I choose one layout and do only that one with all the sets? Or, should I make all the layouts and, throwing caution to the wind, use them all together in a random setting? I'm kind of tending toward the last option. What say you, gentle readers?
I think the reason I'm leaning toward using all of the layouts is a quilt I saw yesterday at the Pennsylvania National Quilt Show that really caught my eye. It was a Japanese scrap quilt of tumbling blocks where each diamond in the set of three contained a different block. I found myself thinking that the elaborate symmetrical quilts in the show were somewhat boring in their perfection. I was shocked to find myself thinking that.
If I counted correctly, I cut 23 block kits. I still need to cut red strips so I can make up the rest of the 36 block kits needed. I'll probably wait and do that after these are made so I can make sure I have a suitable range of values.
In between bouts of sewing I'm cataloging my patterns and filing them alphabetically so I can actually find them when needed.

Yes indeed, the telling of stories will take some time. Unfortunately, this day is drawing at an end. Frodo and Sam, only recently having returned to health, must get some rest. Pippin as well, found by Gimli under a pile of bodies at their last battle, only just recovered himself. All go to bed except Legolas, who plans his rest to be walking amongst the trees of Ithilien. I guess that's like sleep for him.
Most importantly to our interest, Legolas sings a song about his love for the sea. Remember how he fell in love with the sea when he glimpsed it earlier during the ghosty times? He's still into it, and the river nearby reminds him of its waters. This leads to singing.
Tolkien Songs In Real Life:
Our songs have been simple, short, and few in number for quite a while now. This doesn't break from that tradition.
"To the Sea, to the Sea! The white gulls are crying,
The wind is blowing, and the white foam is flying.
West, west away, the round sun is falling.
Grey ship, grey ship, do you hear them calling,
The voices of my people that have gone before me?
I will leave, I will leave the woods that bore me;
For our days are ending and our years failing.
I will pass the wide waters lonely sailing.
Long are the waves on the Last Shore falling,
Sweet are the voices in the Lost Isle calling,
In Eressëa, in Elvenhome that no man can discover,
Where the leaves fall not: land of my people for ever!"
Unbelievably appropriately, I present:
I'll Sail Away
(Come Sail Away – Styx)
Yeah, I couldn't believe when "Come Sail Away" synced up so well for this. Two songs with a similar theme? I don't know if that's happened to me yet. To be honest, my first thought was to use Frozen's "Let It Go", but things didn't work out. That was predicated on "To the Sea, to the Sea!" being so darn perfect to scan into "Let it go, let it go!" Alas.
Tomorrow is the last page of this very short chapter. I fully expect that these last bits are going to move quickly through everything they need to tie up. Of course, we'll still take our sweet time, but I don't expect the narrative to dwell in any one place for too long. That should keep things interesting, at least.
No one dies today.
"'Where the leaves fall not: land of my people for ever!'"

I wanted to ask a quick question not so much about "what to do" to sort it out, but more about "what end product" are we heading for?
Now, I've only got an Equifax report (which I got at the time of my Bankruptcy), and have now ordered all 3 as I've just been discharged. I suppose they will all differ in the way they display the information, but I assume (dangerous!) the different reports will hold basically the same information.
Now. To the question. Based on the Equifax report format, this is what you get:
BIG NASTY BANK LTD - Credit Card MR STEPHEN
Terms 0 @ £0 Monthly
Balances Limit £0
Start £0
Current £999999
Default £999999
Effective Dates Start 01/01/2006
Default 01/05/2006
End 01/05/2006
Birth 01/01/1970
Monthly Status D3210000.NNNN0000001000000 etc etc.
(Yep -dates and amount made up of course)!
Assuming that the date they have as DEFAULT is correct, we ask them to mark it "SATISFIED" or whatever. If they do that (therefore the S on theMonthly list) is that it??
I know that sounds silly, but I lose track a bit of what SHOULD be showing! Once marked as "SATISFIED" will the monthly list get shorter and shorter just leaving the S on the end? Or will the Monthly list disappear? Or will there be a growing list of SSSSSSSSs?
(I am guessing it is none of the above as I have found a very old storecard on the list which was paid up and closed (in 2004) showing S000000 etc. )
So the Date thing the VITAL bit, to ensure that 6yrs hence it will disappear? Does the monthly/amounts/start date etc. bits not matter so much?
I think I may have answered my own question!!
