As the world becomes more informed about the dangers involved in the continued use of chemicals on cropland and lawns, more people are changing over to organic lawn care. The title of this article may seem a bit extreme, but that doesn't change the truth of it. Each person who changes from chemical lawn care products to natural lawn care products is helping to save the world.
Organic lawn care products are created to help the soil regain the nutrients and minerals that it needs to provide the best conditions for the growth of grass and other landscaping plants. It is created using natural materials that plants need, but that are used up as plants grow. Compost is a natural material because it is created using plant material exposed to water just as it would be naturally. However, some people do not have the time or inclination to do their own composting.
Organic lawn care products can take the place of this and are simple and easy to use. Products like Summer Blend or High-Traffic Blend are organic lawn care products that were created to resolve specific problems. There are many other organic lawn products that you could choose from for more general care of your lawn. Many organic lawn products come in a liquid form that you can dispense with an attachment on your garden hose. This makes applying them as easy as watering your lawn. organic lawn care is one of the authority sites on this topic.
Other organic lawn maintenance methods are as simple as not cutting your grass too short. For the healthiest results, grass should be left at least 3 inches long. This allows the grass to develop strong root systems that reach further down into the soil. By growing deeper into the soil, the roots are able to reach water that collects in the lower soil levels; this also helps the grass resist times without rain. This can mean less watering of your lawn, which can actually save you money.
Another easy natural lawn maintenance method is to increase the number of earthworms in your soil. Earthworms are natural aerators. As they move through the soil they break it up and make it possible for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of your plants. They also help to break up organic material into smaller pieces for easier absorption by plants.
Whether you choose a liquid organic lawn product like Mineral Blend or a dry pellet form of organic fertilizer, you are going to be creating a lawn that is better for the planet and safer for your family. You may also find that your yard will attract more birds and wildlife after you begin using organic lawn care products. Chemical products make birds and animals ill or may even kill them, so they tend to stay away from areas where chemicals have been used. Part of having a beautiful lawn is the ability to be outdoors and enjoy it. Organic lawn care allows you to enjoy your lawn without the worry that it may be dangerous to your children.

The Box Anchor is a state of the art offshore anchor that brings anchoring to a new level of sophistication, allowing you to have more control over the placement of your boat in any situation, regardless of the current and bottom condition.
Making the Box Anchor easier to handle, it requires no chain and only a 2 to 1 scope; thats twice the depth of the water and half the amount of line required for a traditional anchor.
The Box Anchor is designed to do all the work for you: just kill the engine and toss the anchor overboard; its that easy. The Box Anchor will hit the bottom, roll to its side, and set within one foot with no need to power down.
The Box Anchors unique patented design allows it to hold your boat at a 45 degree angle from the bottom, digging the downward facing flukes firmly into the bottom without snagging them permanently on debris.
When it comes to retrieval, just pull the line to bring the boat over the top of the anchor and the lack of upward facing surface area will allow the Box Anchor to pop right off the bottom.
The Slide Anchor Shore Spike gives you all the holding power you could ever need on shore. Nothing gives you more peace of mind on the water than knowing that your boat is secure, and the Shore Spike does just that.
The Slide Anchor Shore Spike provides a shore tie anywhere you might want to beach your boat, offering a tremendous amount of driving power to break through even the toughest ground conditions and enough holding power to secure your boat in the softest of sands or strongest of winds.
This same principal works in wind or current change. With a traditional anchor, if you are in a cove or canyon and the wind direction suddenly changes, you have to power up the boat, retrieve the anchor, and try to reset it to accommodate the new situation. The Box Anchor has been designed to take care of all of this for you. The new wind direction brings the boat over the top of the anchor freeing it from the bottom, but as the boat passes over the top of the anchor and continues towards its new resting place, the Box Anchor simply rolls over on its other side to set firmly in the new direction.
When it comes time for storage, simply retrieve the anchor, release the stainless steel stabilizing arm, and fold the Box Anchor completely flat to be stored in its complimentary ventilated storage bag.
To start, simply drive the tubular handle downward to deliver the spike blade into the shoreline. Once the Spike is secure, just tie it off to the lower ring. Retrieval is just as easy: just tap the tubular handle upward to free the Spike from the shoreline.
The Slide Anchor Shore Spike is designed to be used in shallow water as well as on the shore. The top is open for air, water, and debris to pass freely through the handle allowing easy operation underwater. A top ring is provided for a buoy to mark the location of your Spike for other boaters and foot traffic.

Busy, Busy Busy–The View From Here
Hi there! In case you occasionally check out my blog, you probably noticed that I went on a national tour of a new play in the fall of 2016, and apparently vanished. Sorry about that. Long story short, the tour (which was terrific) ended after a couple of months due to producer challenges, and when I returned to NYC, I found myself very busy with eLearning and other learning-related projects from a number of new clients. So I have been neglecting my blog and my Facebook page due to the workload. I've also decided to discontinue my newsletter, and just focus on the occasional new blog and FB post instead.
Stay tuned for some new posts soon. No, really. 🙂

Chris Grayling knocked cyclist off bike outside Parliament
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling knocked a cyclist off his bike outside Parliament in what his spokesman said was an "unfortunate accident".
Footage published by the Guardian showed Jaiqi Liu falling off after Mr Grayling opened his ministerial car's door as he passed by.
A spokesman said Mr Grayling went to check the cyclist was fine and apologised for what had happened.
The two are then seen to shake hands, following the incident on 12 October.
The footage has only emerged now after Laurence de Hoest, who was cycling behind Mr Liu and wearing a helmet camera, decided to publicise it after a story in Cycling Weekly reported Mr Grayling saying cycle lanes "cause too much of a problem for road users" in London.
Bike damage
Mr Grayling's car was stationary in traffic outside the Palace of Westminster when Mr Liu passed it on the inside.
The accident happened on a busy road heavily used by cyclists, about 20 metres before a cycle lane is restored.
Mr Liu said he had informed the police to ensure the accident was logged but did not expect it to be investigated. He did not not know who Mr Grayling was at the time.
His bike sustained damage to its wheel, brakes and lights.
'Quite forceful'
A Labour MP has made a complaint to the Met Police, asking it to investigate whether Mr Grayling had broken the law by "injuring or endangering" someone through his actions.
Ian Austin also said the police should investigate whether the fact Mr Grayling did not provide his details to Mr Liu or notify the authorities constituted an offence.
Asked whether he knew it was the transport secretary who was involved, the cyclist who filmed the incident, Mr de Hoest, told BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show: "Not at the time, it was only a few days later that I recognised it was Mr Grayling.
"I only sent the Guardian after his article in Cycling Weekly when he talks about ...cycle lanes taking up space for motorists and that didn't really sit comfortably with me, so I sent them the footage."
He said it had been "quite a forceful impact" and Mr Liu had been "quite shaken up" at the time.
But there was some disagreement on the show about whether Mr Grayling, or Mr Liu, had been in the wrong. Martin Key, campaigns manager for British Cycling, pointed to the Road Vehicles Regulations 1986 and Rule 239 of the Highway Code which states: "You must ensure you do not hit anyone when you open your door".
He added: "I believe that it is a very, very clear case that the transport minister was in the wrong."
He added: "Cycle lanes are on the inside of traffic, there's a cycle lane just up ahead where the transport minister knocks the cyclist off his bike and that cycle lane is on the left hand side, so the road infrastructure is asking us to be on the left."
'Shook hands'
But motoring journalist Steve Berry told the programme: "Why are you saying that he knocked the cyclist off his bike? ... That man cycled into the door of a car that was being opened so somebody could step onto the pavement."
"Motorcyclists would never dream of undertaking on the left hand side because ... somebody is going to open a car door and you are going to be knocked off.
"The transport secretary is clearly on the back seat of that vehicle. How on earth is he supposed to use the rear view mirror which is set up for the driver, who is sat on the other side and on the front seat?"
A spokesman for Mr Grayling, who has been transport secretary since July, said: "Mr Grayling got out of the car, checked the cyclist was OK and waited until he was back on his feet. Mr Grayling spoke to the cyclist and apologised.
"They shook hands before he left."

The economy, it seems, is in significantly worse shape than it was last November.
That's the same thing that Premier Dwight Ball is saying but we should note one very importance difference. Newfoundland and Labrador was already in a bad financial spot last spring. By the time Ball took office in the fall things were twice as bad as they had been when he'd promised to get rid of the teensy sales tax hike. So while the federal situation may now find itself well up the proverbial river of excrement, they are still looking at our backside as we blaze a trail to the headwaters.
The more important implication for Newfoundland and Labrador in all this would be the likelihood that the federal government won't have any massive amount of cash with which to bail out our troubled province. As it is, the best anyone has been able to talk about is something far less than $50 million in one-time cash.
Even if former finance minister Joe Oliver's musing comes true, the federal government would have a hard time making massive changes to Equalization to give cash to the provinces if it needed cash itself. Oliver wrote an opinion piece for the Financial Post a couple of weeks ago and argued that the Equalization program no longer works. As Oliver saw it, we could easily wind up in a situation in a couple of years' time in which all provinces were roughly equal in fiscal capacity and the Equalization program would have funds it couldn't distribute under the current rules.
One possible solution to that problem would be to change the rules of the program so that cash would go to all provinces, something Oliver says hasn't happened before. Well, sort of. The original program equalised provinces up to the top of the other provinces instead of to an average of some or all of the provinces.
What's more interesting about Oliver's piece is the prospect that the current financial problems across the country might lead to radical changes to Equalization. Our "our current economic challenges and shifting fortunes cry out for a major overhaul of a decades-old equalization [sic] program that is past its best-before date," Oliver wrote.
Just when you thought things couldn't get any more difficult you have folks talking about major changes to Equalization, the very sort of program the current provincial government would like to tap into again. Oliver makes some arguments that are quite stroking from the perspective of a province that is heavily dependent of resource extraction. Oliver has a problem with one provision that this province argued in favour of not so very long ago:
Another counterintuitive element of equalization [sic] is that fiscal capacity excludes either all of a province's natural resource revenues or half of them, depending on which provides the largest per capita transfer payment.Some of you might wonder what Oliver is talking about. After all, people in this province have been told since 2007 that the Harper Conservatives broke their promise in 2007 about excluding non-renewable resource revenues from Equalization. Surprise! Some people have been telling fibs.
Well, forget that for a moment. What Oliver is talking about is the idea that provinces could decide not to develop resources and be rewarded for the decision by getting Equalization that is funded in some respects by revenues from provinces like Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The latest news from Ottawa makes it all the more likely we might well wind up in another national row about Uncle Ottawa's cash. It's been less than a decade since the last racket. Do we really need that on top of everything else?

The Eton wedding guide Summer 2019 edition
What to wear to a wedding as a groom or guest. The menswear guide to deciphering wedding dress codes and finding the shirts and accessories in superior quality and just the right style and fit for you.
What to Wear: White Tie. (Don't mess with perfection)
Self-expression is an important aspect of style, but white tie (along with morning dress if you are British) is the most formal of wedding dress codes, and therein lies its beauty. Wear a black tailcoat and a classic pair of high waist trousers (ending 4 cm over your belly button) with the crispest of white shirts with standing wingtip collar, a white piqué vest and a white piqué bow tie. Faux-pas to avoid: an ill-fitting outfit. The vest should never be visible under the jacket.
White tie: groom or guest
Groom: Express your personality as a couple by matching your boutonniere with your loved one's flowers. Faux-pas to avoid: an ill-fitting outfit. The vest should never be visible under the jacket.
Guest: Honor the occasion and your friends' or loved ones' wishes for their wedding by sticking to the classic get up.
Shirt: white piqué shirt with wing collar, single folded cuffs and white stud buttons. Accessories: white piqué bow tie, white piqué vest.
What to Wear: Black Tie. Suave, classic, elegant — but expressive.
One step away from formal white tie and possibly the most suave of masculine styles, the tuxedo gives you a traditional base: a classic black or Windsor blue with black lapels, a black bow tie that matches the texture of your lapels and a white silk pocket square. But the tuxedo shirt offers a wealth of options for personal expression: from the popular, classic white in refined, supple piqué and all the way to a floral brocade, the only defining factor is your personality.
Black tie: groom or guest
Groom: Again, a simple boutonniere is a way to coordinate with your spouse and your floral theme.
Guest: Don't own a tuxedo? No fear: a dark suit and black bow tie is absolutely an acceptable replacement. The most important thing is to be there and celebrate your friends or relatives.
Shirt: A double cuff tuxedo shirt. Accessories: black bow tie in a texture that matches your tuxedo lapels, white pocket square in silk or linen, black cummerbund.
What to Wear: Summer Wedding Cool linen, slight tan
For a beach or garden wedding. Your big day is a perfect day to wear something that makes you feel like your best self. A white linen shirt worn with linen trousers give you a crisp, classic appearance — and keeps you cool and comfortable in the summer sun. Add a white jacket or break off the look with a light blue linen blazer. Choose dark blue for a more formal touch. (For a truly casual wedding, say barefoot on the beach, shirt-sleeves can look just fine). Either way, a blue summer sky acts as the perfect backdrop.
Summer wedding: groom or guest Groom: To make a relaxed look worthy of the occasion, aim for a perfect fit: use Eton Custom Made for your shirt and take your jacket and trousers to the tailor for the little changes that make a big difference.
Guest: If there is a colour scheme, wear a shirt to match. For a more discreet touch, choose a colourful accessory. As a guest, wear a jacket to show respect: blue jacket is always a suitable choice — lighter colours for daytime only, darker for night.
Shirt: A white linen shirt or cotton linen if you are the groom, or a more colourful linen or cotton option if you are a guest. A pale lilac or pink is always a great choice. Accessories:
What to Wear: Modern Wedding Clean-lines, Scandinavian style
While not technically a dress code, a modern style where your personal taste as a couple is the guiding star is one of our time's most popular wedding styles. At Eton, we believe in personal style— this is your day!— and that a modern wedding is one that fits your lifestyle, makes you feel well-dressed and confident. Choose clothes with a quality level and fit that celebrates the occasion. Our top tip is to aim for high quality materials — Egyptian or Californian cotton, high quality linen or TencelTM for the shirt, high end cottons or silk for accessories — and to pay special attention to your shirt collar. Very often, grooms who don't feel like tuxing up end up choosing a semi-formal, or smart casual style: a well-cut blazer or suit, but maybe no tie — A more subtle, smaller collar for example gives you the option to button your shirt but skip the tie — creating an intentional, stylish look. Use accessories to add personality.
Summer wedding: groom or guest Groom: A summer scarf worn casually under the jacket adds a pop of colour to match your significant other's outfit or flowers.
Guest: A modern, personal wedding invitation — come as you are — can seem confusing. However, as a man you can safely vary the same three ingredients: a blazer (dark blue is always a respectful choice) trousers and a crisp shirt, preferably one in a light summer colour.
Regardless of what you choose, have a great time at the wedding! To all grooms out there: our sincere congratulations on finding your person, and our very best wishes for your life together. It's quite something, finding the person you want to wake up with for the rest of your life, and celebrating it together with friends and family.

I was asked on Facebook what kind of proof I have that the doll is what I say it is. He went on to say that 95% of the paranormal claims made on Facebook are bullshit (his word).
I asked what he meant by "proof." He not only didn't respond, he disappeared from the the group! [I have a group dedicated to discussing Harold on Facebook. Harold the Haunted Doll – send a request if you'd like to join.]
Anyway, I private messaged him the following –
What happened to you? I asked what you constituted as proof, and you disappeared!
What's up with that?
I have tons of "evidence." Can I say conclusively that the evidence constitutes proof? No. Which is why I wanted to know what "proof "means" to you.
Again, gravity hasn't been proven. I'm pretty sure EVERYONE on Facebook believes in it. So I guess they're all full of shit? Is that your contention?
There are a lot of men and women in prison who are there because they were "proven" to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, only to be "proven" innocent later. Much of what scientists believed years ago has been proven to be wrong today. Much of what scientists believe today, will sooner or later be "proven" incorrect in the future.
So, in your opinion, what constitutes "proof" when it comes to the paranormal?

Lace has always attracted me, yet I didn't know how to wear it. I felt like it was too something, I actually wasn't even sure...lol. In my life, I have had so many reservations, so many things I would not even wear, can you imagine?! Honestly, I wish I had the audacity to wear exactly what I wanted long before now. There would have been far less longing moments...lol. Wishing I could have pulled off this or that. The irony, my style if not even considered romantic! I say screw the rules!

CAMDEN, N.J. - -Carl J. Kotowski, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration's New Jersey Division and Paul J. Fishman, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey announced a Pleasantville, New Jersey, man admitted participating in a nearly three-year conspiracy to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine in the Atlantic City, New Jersey area.

a drug trafficking conspiracy through which Byrd distributed more than one kilogram of crack cocaine from February 2012 through Dec. 10, 2014. Members of the conspiracy used Byrd's Pleasantville residence and at least two other residences in Pleasantville and Absecon to store and package cocaine and crack cocaine.

Efficient Gov recently ran an article by Craig Settles that talks about how to spin broadband as a solution to lower healthcare costs. I love the idea; I think we need to focus on broadband as a solution. Quit looking at the costs to install and start looking at the potential cost savings and earning of being able to access broadband amenities (such as telehealth) everywhere…
Telehealth offers substantial benefits for those receiving healthcare, so a well-done needs analysis could help your local government translate the need for institutional broadband as well as individual access to high speed service.
As community-owned networks go online, "Some find more interest among stakeholders for using broadband for telehealth, and its subset telemedicine, than for economic development," John Windhausen, executive director of the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition, shared with me. "There can be several reasons, starting with the fact that almost everybody is affected by healthcare," he said.
In the U.S., the telehealth market is driven by the rising healthcare costs, upcoming regulatory policies, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, shortage of physicians and increasing funding for telehealth. It is estimated 90 percent of all self-insured businesses will have some form of telehealth in the workplace because it has a provable ROI.
People may not know a gigabit from of giraffe, but they will pay for and/or support projects that enables an elderly parent to stay safely in her home, or workers with two or three jobs to get regular healthcare treatments or check ups. They want the benefits a particular technology delivers, and care less about the technology itself.
There is a segment of the population who are not low-income enough to qualify for Medicaid, they don't earn enough to afford health insurance and their employers don't provide it," Eric Bacon, president of AMD Global Telemedicine, said. "So they go to the ER, which is more costly for local government."
Telemedicine can cover many medical disciplines, including mental health, stroke, dermatology, women's health and physical rehabilitation. Just about every person — from newborns to seniors — may find that telemedicine influences their lives at some time. Healthcare stakeholders can quantify for municipal broadband planning teams how telehealth makes sense and saves dollars.

Gillette Ridge Golf Club, Bloomfield, CT
John Torsiello

Gillette Ridge GC A Stern but Fair Test of Golfing Ability
Gillette Ridge Golf Club in Bloomfield, Ct., which sits on property owned by the Cigna Corporation, is a real test of your golfing ability, even though it has been softened a bit by MDM Golf, which owns and manages the club.
Alterations have made the layout more player-friendly, while still retaining its original challenge. The ultimate goal was to keep the course demanding based upon its yardage and several forced carries but to make it less penal and create bailout areas where a player could recover.
The most dramatic alteration was on the 182-yard par-three fourth hole. A new, wider green was constructed and the putting surface pushed away from a steep incline that leads to a wetlands area.
At Gillette Ridge, Arnold Palmer and his staff created a track that fits nicely into the existing natural landscape. Great care was taken to preserve the numerous trees that serve to frame fairways and greens, as well as the ample wetlands on the property.
The architects built a number of peninsula or island greens, using granite from the site to construct walls near several greens and tee boxes. There are some forced carries at Gillette Ridge, both off the tee and on approach shots to the medium size, undulating putting surfaces, but nothing so daunting to scare away the average player. Bunkers, ponds or wetlands come into play on almost half the holes. The fairway landing areas are ample.
There are four sets of tees at Gillette Ridge, making the course play anywhere from 7,191 yards at the tips to 5,582 from the forward markers. The course has been given a slope of 135 and a rating of slightly over 74 from the back markers.
The club has a great restaurant and bar, with an outside dining area that overlooks the 18th hole, arguably the toughest finishing hole in the state, a pro shop and a comprehensive practice facility.
Gillette Ridge plays 7,191 yards from the tips with three other sets of tees. The conditions are always good, with tight and finely manicured fairways and well-maintained greens.

Direct Florida to Dominica flight being discussed- June 25, 2018
A direct flight from Florida to Dominica might become a reality in 2018 as discussions continue with between Government and the relevant stakeholders.
Tonge stated that this direct flight is being discussed with a view to addressing the issue of air access into Dominica.
This challenge, which has been a regular complain from visitors, was brought under scrutiny following the passage of Hurricane Maria in September 2017.
Senator Tonge said while government has invested in improving infrastructure at the main airport, and is committed to building an international airport, they continue to aggressively pursue options to secure and improve airlift into Dominica.
"In the interim, the government is committed in investing to improved airlift into Dominica and partnering with existing and new airlines. We have lobbied LIAT, because after the storm our access to Dominica was severely impacted," Tonge stated.
He informed that discussions are ongoing with various airlines, and government is hopeful for confirmation of the direct flight later this year.
"We hope to finalize agreements with Air Antilles this winter season to provide same day access with the Norwegian Flights, that have all grown to love based on the price, from the French islands into Dominica," he said.
Visitors or citizens can now travel from France via Air Caribe straight to Guadeloupe and connect into Dominica on the same day.
Senator Tonge added that a lot of these interventions "are not things that we made up ourselves" but rather because government has listened to the stakeholders.
"And our job is to try and put them in place and God's willing this year, we will have a direct flight from Florida to Dominica," he noted.
Tonge stated that these interventions were made possible through the increased tourism subvention approved by government and is looking forward to the realization of the direct flight from Florida to Dominica which will improve access into the island.
"I can assure you that this is not an election gimmick, but it is an initiative that you have recommended and the air access committees have recommended to ensure we are creating the economic space to make things work for you," Senator Tonge added.

Home Party Catering Epping Vic
8 Expert Tips For Picking the Right Caterer In Epping
When it comes to the important things that can make or break an occasion, few are as crucial as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which caterer to work with, and if you believe this choice actually isn't really that important, look at it this way, fantastic catering can rescue an event that's on the rocks, but bad catering will usually send out guests to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for most events, the caterer you select is also a significant financial choice and can affect just how much money you have actually left over to spend on other areas depending on food costs and amounts.
Include that catering services can vary drastically in their prices and the types of meals and services they provide, and the procedure of choosing a catering service can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Requirements
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, generally because how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your initial discussions is indicative of how they will perform throughout the length of their agreement with you (and more on agreements later on).
A potential catering service must be discovering as much as they can about you in your first few discussions with them, so you must anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you offering responses and outlining your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Manage Your Specific Kind Of Occasion In Epping 3076
Not every catering service is best or every kind of occasion, and many catering services themselves freely admit this.
So when interviewing your Epping caterers (and you ought to consult with a minimum of 3 caterers for any event with an affordable budget), you need to be specific about the type of event you are preparing and the type of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you might end up selecting a catering service who simply isn't a good fit for the type or style of your occasion.
Virtually every catering service has a basic menu or menus to choose from, and many do supply some level of built-in versatility to adapt these menus to your particular needs by substituting particular items and/or customizing others.
Nevertheless, the standout catering services will surpass standardized menu options and want to produce fantastic fare that matches a lot more specific style and dietary needs.
# 3 Willingness To Supply Tastings
How will you ever know what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you understand what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you particularly attempt them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they desire for their occasion because it seems like an inconvenience for the catering service, but it is standard to request a sampling of what you are meaning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small cost to pay to ensure you select the ideal catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also address how it exists, as any catering service who makes the effort to appropriately show a sample will probably be more likely to make that type of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event manager who has to manage catering information, budgets and assignments?
Or are you a caterer who needs to track propositions, invoices, meal choices, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You might be in for a surprise if you hire a BBQ take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom charity event. Or if you select a high-end corporate event caterer to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Due to the fact that these caterers may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get back at more specific depending on limitations of the venue itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
A lot more traditional places can also have restrictions that catering services should follow, like particular setup standards or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a caterer that recognizes with a location's guidelines can potentially save you great deals of hassle on occasion day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Agreement
The catering service's contract must clearly spell out precisely what food, drinks and services the catering service will be providing on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it ought to protect you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you may wish to think about having a lawyer} look at it before you sign it.
Every detail ought to be consisted of in the agreement, consisted of chosen menus, number of portions and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service details (if appropriate) and all pricing and additional services.
No caterer in Epping with a shred of dignity and scruples participates in a contract with strategies to bail at the last minute, but you need to make sure there is a cancellation provision in your agreement just in case your catering service has to cancel.
You do not wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your event, so simply make sure cancellation procedures and penalties are in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 References You Can Call and Talk With
Of course you will need to check up on the catering services you are thinking about, and it's always great to begin online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always trusted (or perhaps genuine); for example, a good catering service might have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who alter their scores, while a genuinely average catering service may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can find some past clients of the catering services you are considering and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we talked with called insurance coverage "an offered" for catering services, and you certainly don't wish to legally be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 A Knowledgeable Chef and Kitchen Staff
Remarkably, how long a catering business in Epping has actually stayed in business might not be as crucial in selecting an excellent catering service as you might think.
So ensure to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV since he or she will most likely be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

"Nixon returns to the Union chamber with this Tony award-winning piece"
There are lies, there are damned lies, and then there was Watergate.
It was a scandal that sent tremors to the heart of American politics. Richard Nixon's attempt to wiretap his Democratic opponents, and the subsequent cover-up operation, would put News of the World staff to shame.
Following Nixon's resignation, David Frost, the British talk-show host and ambitious comedian, took it upon himself to wrangle a confession out of the elusive ex-president. It was to be a clash of titans. And the result was something expected by nobody...
Peter Morgan's Frost/Nixon explores this dark affair through a close study of both characters. No stone is left unturned in Frost's pursuit of truth, but his subject is nobody's fool. Richard Nixon has his heart set on winning back the American people, and no upstart young talk-show host is going to stop him.
Staged in the Oxford Union's debating chamber, the iconic venue visited by Nixon himself in 1978, the play is one steeped in tension and intrigue.
There will only be one victor.
Pick a side.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) are common in RLS.
Three hypotheses developed are
(a) RLS patients are selectively immunocompromised or genetically predisposed and thus more subject to SIBO
(b) SIBO leads to autoimmune changes, and subsequent auto-antibodies attack brain and/or peripheral nerves
(c) SIBO inflammation leads to increased hepcidin and CNS iron deficiency which, in turn, leads to RLS.
These hypotheses bear further investigation.
Gluten Sensitivity, RLS, and SIBO are all Connected…
Research studies have linked gluten ingestion to changes in small intestinal bacteria. These changes can cause a variety of symptoms to occur.
Most commonly patients will experience:
– gas and bloating
– abdominal pain
– intermittent diarrhea and constipation
– acid reflux
– bad breath
Bacterial overgrowth can also lead to changes in digestion, vitamin and mineral absorption, and intestinal permeability (AKA – leaky gut syndrome).
Gluten ingestion can lead to a variety of physiological changes that create disease.
I have treated thousands of patients with gluten issues. Many of them have also had RLS symptoms that resolved on a gluten free diet.
If you haven't done so already, it is recommended that you get tested for gluten sensitivity or go gluten free.
You can take our self test Here: http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-free-society-blog/gluten-sensitivity-intolerance-self-test
Dr. Peter Osborne is the clinical director of Town Center Wellness in Sugar Land, Texas. Dr. is both a doctor of chiropractic as well as a Board Certified doctor of clinical nutrition. He founded the Gluten Free Society in 2010 to help educate patients and physicians on the far reaching effects of gluten sensitivity. He is the author of Glutenology, a series of digital videos and ebooks designed to help educate the world about gluten.

Has anyone created vacation stories for Scrum or Kanban?
Vacations are items that must be delivered. Who cares if they are actual "work"? However, consider what happens if these stories are in the queue; the work-item variation will simply take care of itself! All of those "missing" man-days? Present & accounted for!
Agile is supposed to be visual – vacation stories help make it so.

Tacoma Drain Cleaning Services
Trust Harts Services for Drain Solutions
A clog in your drain line is something no one wants to deal with. Unfortunately, it is a common occurrence in the Tacoma area, as we have many older sewer lines that are prone to failure, either due to age or root intrusions. Not only does a clog prevent your water from draining properly, but it can also lead to unpleasant odors and even corrosion of your pipes. With our equipment and expertise, Harts Services is able to come up with a solution to any drainage problems you may experience.
Call us today at (253) 331-1206 for an estimate on drain cleaning in Tacoma!
The Dangers of Drain Clogs
If you do have a clog, you want to get it taken care of right away. If you don't address the situation immediately, it has the potential to cause all kinds of problems, including damage to your home and health. Stagnant water caused by clogged drain pipes can emit a musty odor. This unpleasant smell can travel up into your home, making for an uncomfortable environment.
A clogged pipe can also allow water to leak into the foundation of your home. This not only weakens the structural integrity of the house but can also let water in through the floorboards, causing them to stain and weaken over time. If a clogged pipe is left unattended for too long, it could lead to flooding and stagnant water, which attracts and breeds mildew, mold, and unwanted insects—all of which are serious health risks to you and your family.
Troubleshooting Clogged Drains
When a drain gets clogged, many homeowners try to solve the problem on their own, turning to a couple common DIY remedies. Using a plunger might work in some situations, but it can also push the clog further down into the pipe. This creates an even bigger, harder-to-reach problem in the future. People often try to eliminate the clog with a store-bought, chemical-based liquid drain cleaner. Our Tacoma drain clearing technicians highly advise against using chemical cleaners, because of both the potential negative environmental impacts and the effect it can have on your pipes. These cleaners can actually contribute to the corrosion of your pipes.
It's best to call a sewer & drain professional for help to avoid causing further or undue damage. Our Tacoma drain cleaning technicians have the tools and training to tackle serious clogs.
The equipment we might use to clean your drain and bust serious clogs include:
- Toilet Augers – A toilet auger works the opposite way that a plunger does. Rather than dislodging the blockage with negative pressure, it actually pushes into the blockage, working further into where the obstruction is taking place. The auger or "snake" is then used to push the clog out of the drain pipe, leaving a clear path for water to flow freely. The auger's corkscrew-shaped tip helps force it further down into the clog, making it easier to clear.
- Mainline Cable Machines – For blockages in the main sewer line, which are usually more than 30 feet away from localized blockage in the house, a mainline cable machine is needed. Although some big-box hardware stores have these available for rent, we recommend that you hire a professional due to the extreme force and skill required to operate.
- Hydro Jetters – A hydro jetter is a pump-and-hose system that uses high-powered water jets to clear residential and commercial drain pipes. Most high-pressure water jetters will operate with up to 4,000 PSI of pressure and will push anywhere from 2–18 gallons of water per minute through a pipe.

Tu Usually companies have to pay to promote their products in magazines. And such promotions rarely land on mag covers without disclaimers proclaiming that they're ads. Not so much with a Windows 8 promotion that will be front and center on the cover of several Conde Nast publications, from Wired to The New Yorker to Glamour, reports AdAge. From the AdAge story: The promotions, full pages attached to the covers of 14 titles from Allure to Wired, show the new Windows 8 Start screen tailored for most of the magazines' top editors. Glamour, for example, depicts a Start screen for Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive with items such as highlights from a magazine event, a tweet that Windows 8 pulled in from @glamourmag, a December Issue Sampler for Windows 8, the Windows camera app, a special edition of the magazine and a holiday-party reminder from the new Windows 8 Calendar app. And Microsoft didn't have to pay for those cover attachments. That's because they are part Conde Nast's decision to publicize that its content is on Windows 8, AdAge reports. "The covers are, however, 'clearly coordinated' with the paid ads [elsewhere in the magazines], the [Conde Nast] spokeswoman said," according to the AgeAge article. "They are 'tied together under the umbrella of our holistic relationship' with Microsoft, she added." Read the full story here. Comments

As soon as we got pregnant we knew our baby had a 50/50 chance of being born deaf and at 4 months Lily was referred for an AABR test. My partner, Ben, has sensorineural hearing loss which was caused by the hairs in his cochlea not developing properly. He was born severely deaf and requires hearing aids to hear anything basically so we always knew our children would need more hearing tests than average.
Lily passed her newborn screening after a bit of a struggle, they were unable to get a result on her left ear to begin with but eventually we got the all clear. As the weeks went on we grew more and more concerned over her hearing, she wouldn't react to sound or turn her head and didn't so much as flinch when we were cutting wooden floor boards with a jigsaw, so at around 4 months, after speaking to our wonderful health visitor, she was referred for a hearing screening early.
The first test we got sent for was an Visual Reinforcement Audiometry which is different to the AABR. This is generally aimed at babies who are 8 months+, this was the test she would have been referred at 8 months regardless of any concerns due to her family history of deafness. There were speakers that play words repetitively and random clapping monkeys placed around the room and the audiologist sets them to go off at certain volumes and the idea is, that if baby can hear it, baby will look towards it and be rewarded with a flashing screen or a cute toy. Once they have began to associate the sound with a visual reward the test will start. Lily sort of managed it, although she only turned for the very loud noises which we worked out were at the levels her Dad can hear so obviously this test left us feeling quite concerned rather than reassured as we had initially hoped for.
They looked inside her ears although they only managed to see one properly as she objected pretty strongly to having things shoved in her ear. It was then discovered that she had fluid behind her ear drum, which would explain why she wasn't reacting to noises. Because of this and the fact the test hadn't been completely successful they referred her for an AABR test which stands for Automated Auditory Brainstem Response which is were clicking sounds are played directly into your baby's ear canal along with sensors on your baby's head and behind their ears. These sensors pick up the brainstem reaction to the sounds and throw the results onto the connected computer screen.
You will need to keep your baby awake and not feed them for 2 hours prior to the test. I felt like the worlds shittest parent doing that because she was so tired and hungry but they need baby to feed and go into a deep sleep in order to carry out the test. The test itself will take place in a special sound proof room, any phones, wifi signals, etc will need to be turned off or they will interfere with the equipment. The audiologist performing Lily's AABR test had to go into the waiting room and ask people to turn their phones off because they were causing so much interference.
After briefly explaining the process, the audiologist used some very fine filing paper which looks pretty much exactly like sand paper, and will gently rubbed it on Lily's skin around her forehead and behind her ears. Next they attached the electrodes, normally three to four of them, Lily had three – one behind each ear and then one of her forehead. The lines on the screen should start going crazy, this is normal and means the contact between the skin and the electrodes is where it should be. The spiking is caused by the immense amount of brain activity which will settle down once baby is asleep.
This is where the fun part starts, now you must get the baby into a deep sleep. They will lower the lights in the room and luckily it's perfectly fine for you to hold your baby during the test which makes it so much easier! I held Lily the entire time and switched boobs half way when she woke up. They test one ear at a time so it is relatively easy to cradle hold them. I read google posts about how they will need the baby lay flat on a bed and I immediately panicked because no way would Lily sleep like that.
Once baby is asleep and the brain activity lessens, the lines on the screen will settle down and stop spiking and the AABR test can begin. The audiologist will insert the probe a little way into the ear canal and the test will begin. A click or a pip will be played into your baby's ear and the brainstem response will appear on the computer screen. I tried to watch intently and try and figure it out but it's incredibly confusing and it's best not to try and drive yourself insane with worry and wait until it's over.
The time it takes to complete depends on your baby but they allow 3 hours for the entire appointment. The test itself took about 40 minutes for us not including getting her to sleep but in total we were there for a couple of hours.
Here is a vlog we did of the day she had her test!
If you are wanting more information about childhood deafness or are looking for further advice then please visit the National Deaf Children's Society where you will find an abundance of help an support.
It's so good that you were able to hold her throughout. Reassuring for her, and for you! xo
So glad you could hold her. I remember Henry's early days and there would be no chance he'd sleep without being held!!
How fascinating and well done for pushing forward and getting the appointments all sorted for her.
I bet that was so reassuring that you could hold her while the test was being carried out. And yay mama for pushing for what you guys needed. She's such a lucky little lady. I hope things have settled down a bit now and she isn't worrying you as much 🙂 xx
A friend of mine went through this in Denmark. I'm so glad you got to hold her. Thank you for sharing the information x

Gone are the days when makeup meant some Nivea cream, some Ponds powder and a Lakme lipstick. Today, we have an overwhelming number of brands, products and techniques, and with it comes the strange, confusing, drag community terminology! This lingo is hurled at you by the beauty YouTubers, the beauty blogosphere and even at those parties where you know no-one. The hoity-toity girlfriends seem to be gushing about Kim K's 'baking'. Nope, she ain't baking no cupcakes my baby dolls! But if Kim K's makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is 'baking' her face, you bet it's legit.
Now, you may not have tried it yet, but you have heard of contouring. There also seems to be some vague memory of strobed supermodels on IG. But, 'baking' or 'cooking' are terms that seem like hobbies or chores, not words that you associate with makeup.
So, today let's get this drag queen mumbo-jumbo settled once and for all. Here's your quick guide on contouring, strobing and baking — what it is and how it's done!
If you dream of chiselled cheekbones, a cinched nose and a structured jaw line like the supermodels of Cosmopolitan magazine, then contouring is your bff. Contouring is the push-up bra for your facial bones, sculpting your natural features, and defining the high points on your face.
There are several ways to contour, but the basic principles remain unchanged. Prep your face with a moisturizer, eye cream and primer. Now, you have two options.
Contour using foundation
- Use two shades of foundation to contour — Pick one shade that is lighter than your skin tone for the centre of your face (space between your brows, centre of the forehead, under the arch of the eyebrow, bridge of the nose, cheekbones, cupid's bow and chin) and another that is slightly darker than your complexion for the perimeter of your face.
- Blend the two shades seamlessly with a damp beauty blender or a stippling brush. This will create a subtle illusion of depth and dimension to your facial features.
- Finish up with concealer, bronzer (optional) and blush.
- Go ahead and highlight the high points on your face using a highlighter (read below to understand strobing).
- Do your lip routine (sneaking in customary pouts in front of the mirror), choose your fragrance for the day, dress up, strap up the heel and ba-ham! You've got yourself sculpted supermodel vibes in 5 simple steps!
Contour using a cream or powder contour
- Use a foundation that is as close to your skin tone as possible. Once you are satisfied with the way it looks, move on to the next big step.
- Use a matt powder or cream contour that is cool toned but not too ashy (to avoid looking like a walking orange sunset) to mark the areas that you want to contour.
- These should be as follows — the hollows under your cheekbones, your temples, along your hairline, jaw line, the sides of your nose, the tip of your nose, and if you wish, the crease of your eyes.
- Be very precise and control the placement of the dark pigment as contour products are generally very concentrated, pigmented and smudgeable.
- Use a powder or cream highlight to naturally define the high points of your face (space between your brows, centre of the forehead, under the arch of the eyebrow, bridge of the nose, cheekbones, cupid's bow and chin).
- Buff out the two products (contour and highlight) using a dense stippling brush/buffing brush or a beauty blender to achieve a sculpted airbrushed effect.
- Continue with points 3, 4, and 5 from the previous heading.
Phew! That was much more difficult to explain than it is to do. Watch Lisa Eldridge or Kathleen Lights on You Tube transform flat faces into those of chiselled goddesses, and any lurking doubts shall be buried at sea.
When people started saying that strobing is the new contouring, I wanted to throw my hand at them. First, I'm supposed to master this weird face painting technique then I'm told 'forget everything you learnt about contouring! It's time to strobe!' So I just rolled my eyes in disdain and googled 'strobing'!
Strobing is just a fun word for highlighting, just one of those things that drag queens say to make you feel absolutely inadequate about your knowledge of beauty.
Using an excess of highlighter to achieve a dewy (not sweaty), shimmery, youthful glow or a lit from within finish is the basic idea behind strobing.
- Use a highlight that best complements your skin tone for a subtle sheen. The universal guide goes something like this :- fair skin — champagne tones; light to medium skin — pink champagne tones; olive skin — golden tones; deep skin — terracotta tones.
- Use a hydrating moisturizer to prep your face. If you decide to use a shimmery highlight, the rule of thumb is to use all other products (like foundation, bronzer, blush, contour) in a matt finish. This is the fine line between the frosted 90's look and the naturally dewy, uber-chic millennial look.
- Use the highlight in only those spots that catch light (space between your brows, centre of the forehead, under the arch of the eyebrow, inner corner of the eyes, bridge of the nose, cheekbones, cupid's bow and chin) and not all over your face. Going overboard may take you from a sorted mess to a greasy mess in just a few swipes. Go slow, apply with a light hand, always dusting off excess product and building intensity as you go along.
- If you have oily skin, skip the T-zone or any other greasy spots so you don't enhance them. For girls fighting acne, keep a mile's distance from shimmery highlights that may accentuate your spots. In such cases, I would suggest you contour using foundation (as mentioned above) or use a matt highlight.
Critical takeaway – To highlight, use your finger tips or a tapered fluffy brush. Use your stippling brush (with which you applied your foundation) to buff out and blend the contour-highlight-blush in order to avoid stark makeup lines.
Now that you are familiar with contouring and are trying to wrap your head around strobing, allow me to introduce you to the last member in the jury box — baking.
Baking simply refers to letting translucent powder sit on your face for 5-10 minutes, that allows the heat from your face to set your base foundation and concealer, and then dusting it off your face, leaving you with a creaseless, flawless canvas for applying the rest of your makeup.
- Hydrate your eye area with a rich eye cream to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, and to plump it up.
- Apply the first coat of concealer (this may be a skin-tone concealer or a colour corrector fluid) under your eyes and to cover any redness around your nose. Concealers (especially dewy ones) usually contain oils that tend to crease and seep into fine lines, if not set correctly with a powder. Blend the concealer and allow it to nest for a minute before the next coat.
- Next, apply the second coat of concealer, one that is lighter and brighter than the first to make your under eyes pop, to lock in the first formula of concealer and improve its lasting power. Cover and smooth out any imperfections (I don't like the word but its apt for this context).
- Dust on translucent powder with a small fluffy brush over the entire patch of concealer to set the base makeup.
- Bake away. Dampen a beauty sponge in setting spray, dip into translucent powder and pack the loose powder generously over the concealer area. Sit tight for 5-10 minutes, looking like someone straight out of a circus.
- Using the same brush from step 4 and a pressed powder, swirl the brush over the baked powder and dust it away. Add more coverage and blend any harsh concealer lines.
- Boom, you're baked!
For a classic demo, watch Heidi Hamoud bake her makeup and pull-off poreless, picture-perfect skin.
To be brutally honest, I rarely strobe when I do my makeup, discounting the inhibited swish of a subtle highlight on my cheekbones. I do contour the hollow of my cheekbones and my temples once in a while or just use some bronzer to add dimension to my features. I don't really ever bake. Unless, I have bananas about to rot that need to go into a cupcake asap. Yeah.
There are a tonne of loose translucent powders or banana powders available in the market for you to try the art of baking. The Laura Mercier one (not available in India) is highly sought after by the blogger community (and Lisa Eldridge) but a great drugstore alternative is the Makeup Revolution Luxury Banana Powder (which I use to set my base and love deeply).
I hope this post has helped you feel more in touch with the overwhelming world of makeup and beauty. I understand that such topics are better demonstrated than read about, but I hope my post will help you feel less intimated by the ever-evolving space of beauty.
Until next week, XOXO

Mange is a skin disease that affects dogs commonly. Some of its common symptoms include lesions and bald spots often accompanied by severe itching and sometimes discharge from ears. Often poor hygiene is attributed as the prime cause of the condition. Below are some well proven home remedies for mange in dogs –
Page Contents
Hydrogen Peroxide and Borax
A proper combination of borax and hydrogen peroxide is one of the best home remedies for treating mange in dogs. Both these ingredients are strong disinfectants, and while hydrogen peroxide cleanses and kills mites, borax kills fungi and insects. For an adequate remedy, take 3% hydrogen and mix two cups of the liquid in 4 cups of water. To this mixture, stir in 3 heaping tablespoons of borax. Soak your dog's skin well in this solution and let it sit. You can let the solution on skin soak up without bothering to wash it. Using this treatment once a week goes a great way in keeping at bay further infections. It is also great to note that you can use this solution to wash your pet's toys, bedding, and other washable items. A word of caution here: Borax can make your pet sick and so keep it out of their reach.
Honey is a natural antioxidant which has proven very useful in treating mange and soothing your pet's irritated skin. The powerful antiseptic properties of honey kill all the mites and heal your dog's skin from scratching and itching. It also prevents further infection. It is best to use organic or locally harvested honey for this purpose. Apply the honey directly onto the affected parts of your dog's skin and let it sit for a few hours. Finally, wipe off well with water, to keep at a distance the ants, which may be attracted to honey. This effective remedy can be performed twice daily.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apply apple cider vinegar on your dog's skin in its raw and unfiltered form. An easy home remedy, this topical application not only treats mange but also helps keep it at bay. The vinegar has antiseptic and antimicrobial effects on your beloved pet's skin. To use it, dilute a cup of the vinegar with an equal quantity of water. Spray this antiseptic solution on the fur of your dog and comb them in between as you continue spraying. Another remedy is to give your dog a therapeutic sponge bath combining half a cup each of warm water, apple cider vinegar and borax. Soak the fur completely in either of these solutions and let the fur air-dry. Either of these remedies can be followed and are recommended to be used twice or thrice a week depending on the severity of the condition. Also, it is healthy to add pure apple cider vinegar to dog food once every day for a week. For dogs weighing between 35 to 85 pounds, the dosage recommended is one tablespoon; for those weighing between 15 to 34 pounds, the dosage is two teaspoons; and for dogs weighing up to 14 lbs, one teaspoon of undiluted apple cider vinegar is prescribed.
Sulfur Soap
Sulfur soap is an excellent remedy for mange in dogs. The basic properties of this particular soap reduce inflammation caused by mange and keep it under control. The soap is extremely effective in killing the germs that contribute to the condition. To follow this home remedy, dampen your pet's fur with water and rub the soap all over on its wet skin until it gets foamy. Allow your dog's fur and skin to soak in this foamy solution for a good 30 minutes to kill the parasites. Finally, bathe your dog well until all the soap is cleaned off, letting it air-dry after that. Wash your dog with sulfur soap every two to three times a week until all signs of mange disappear.
This is an irreplaceable home remedy for the dogs having a discolored discharge from their ears owing to mange. Yogurt contains acidophilus bacteria which eliminates all discomforts relating to mange including any releases.
Margosa or Neem is a fantastic antiseptic which can help treat mange in your dog in the most holistic way. Boil a handful of Margosa leaves for about 10 minutes and strain the cooled water. Apply this neem infused water on your dog's skin and let it air-dry. This can be done once daily. Alternately, you can also use an over-the-counter Neem shampoo to bathe your pet. You can do this once every week until all signs of irritation have disappeared. Another method is to combine equal parts of pure coconut and neem oil and apply this mixture onto the affected parts of your pet's skin. This is recommended twice to thrice times a day for best results. Not only does this herbal dermatological remedy disinfect your dog's skin but also nourishes and soothes it. Moreover, it also ensures a faster and healthier regrowth of your dog's fur.
Vegetable Oil
This is probably the handiest home remedy for treating mange in dogs. Any vegetable oil is useful in treating mange by getting rid of the parasites. What plays a key role here is the sticky property of the oil which cuts off all air supplies to the mites and kills them. Moreover, oil also helps in softening of the scabs and wax-like deposits caused by the parasites. This heals any itching or scratching on the skin. To use this home remedy actually, sponge your dog's fur with a clean sponge generously soaked in vegetable oil. Gently scrub the dry and patchy parts of the skin to bring off any scabs that cause itching. Perform this remedy twice daily for a faster recovery.
A Word of Warning
Although all the treatments mentioned above are very helpful in treating mange at home and are completely natural and without side effects, it is important to consult a veterinarian. This to know for sure at which stage of mange your beloved pet is in. Mange in rare cases of secondary infection stage can become life-threatening if proper treatment is not meted out on time, when home remedies alone may not suffice.

Stomach Pain: When Should I Take My Child To The ER?
Stomach pain is among the top reasons for ER visits for both adults and children. More correctly termed abdominal pain, it has a long list of potential causes — from benign (too much candy or fried food) to life-threatening (appendicitis).
It's often hard to know when to "tough it out" and when to seek treatment. For children, especially infants and babies too young to tell you what's wrong, here are some definite signs that you should seek immediate medical care.
Seek immediate treatment if you child has stomach pain that is:
- Accompanied by a high fever
- Accompanied by repeated vomiting (babies younger than 3 months who are vomiting or having diarrhea should be seen right away)
- Accompanied by other serious or unusual symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or change in child's behavior
- Severe (infants and babies are inconsolable)
- Prolonged; lasting 24 or more hours
- Localized to one particular area (e.g., the lower right quadrant could indicate appendicitis)
5 questions to ask if your child has abdominal pain.
The questions below, developed by an ER doctor for her friends and family, can be used by older children and adults to help decide if a trip to the ER is necessary.
- Severity: Does it hurt so badly that it's hard or impossible to concentrate or perform normal activities?
- Vomiting: Are you vomiting? While vomiting doesn't automatically signal a trip to the ER, if you're unable to keep down fluids or are vomiting up blood, it's time to go.
- Output: Are your stools a different color than normal, such as bloody or dark black (also potentially a sign of bleeding) or are you having diarrhea? Like vomiting, diarrhea isn't necessarily serious unless it causes dehydration. If you're unable to keep down liquids and you're having excessive diarrhea, you may need to have fluids administered. What about changes to your urine? Are you going more or less than normal? Is it bloody or another unusual color?
- Other symptoms: Are you having difficulty breathing? Chest pain? Does your abdominal pain spread directly to your back?
- Health history: Have you recently suffered an abdominal injury or had abdominal surgery? Are you pregnant or have you recently given birth? Are you on chemotherapy or do you have any other conditions that could compromise your immune system?
If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
