I met my friend, Karen, the other day. She looked upset and I asked her what was wrong. She proceeded to tell me this story:

I just lost my 2 beautiful dogs to cancer in the last year. They were wonderful dogs. I spoke to the breeder about why both of my dogs died of cancer and she told me the cancer gene runs in their breed. I started thinking about all the pesticides that I have used in my yard over the years and how much my dogs loved being outside. I decided to look into more organic ways to take care of my garden. I have so much crabgrass in my lawn? I have been treating it with a pre-emergent weed control chemicals all of these years. What do you suggest? Karen knew she could turn to her eco-minded friend and asked how she rids her lawn of crabgrass without toxic chemicals. She reminded me that spring is just around the corner. I am also facing this dilemma because my lawn is new and is eighty percent crabgrass. Pulling it out was not the answer. I tried that last year and the crab grass just laughed at me and said in true Schwarzenegger style, “I’ll be back!”

I had told Karen that we should use corn gluten to treat the crabgrass but I needed to do some more research.

I started to do some searches on the internet and immediately found Iowa State’s Corn Gluten Meal Research Page featuring Professor Nick Christians. His research led to the discovery of corn gluten as a herbicide. I then went to the list of who supplies corn gluten to the public. There were so many distributors and their products had different names. Are all of these products the same?

On another internet site I read that the corn gluten was genetically modified (GMO). That raised a red flag. Would this harm my vegetable garden?

Another internet site stated you should install the corn gluten by your second grass cutting. I knew from all the information that I was reading it is better to apply the corn gluten too early than too late, but what happens if my second cutting was too late? The questions were endless but not enough to keep me up at night, thank goodness.

I took a chance and called Professor Christians. When I reached him, I asked him all of my questions. Of course, my first question was about corn gluten being a GMO product. He explained corn gluten is a byproduct of the corn, and even as a GMO product, corn gluten will not alter anything in my garden or soil. I asked him why they have not created non-GMO corn gluten, and he told me that this version of corn gluten would be very expensive.

I still felt uneasy about the corn gluten being a GMO product. So, I asked again how he knew that the applied corn gluten did not cause any genetic modifications in the soil or the turf. He replied, “I have put it on the same plots for more that 17 years and have seen no detrimental effects. In fact, the plots look great every summer.” If you are uncomfortable with using a GMO product no matter what the research shows, this is not the product for you.

Professor Christians recommended applying the corn gluten in the Midwest and North when the forsythia begin to bloom. This is an easier marker to remember than waiting for your second lawn cut. According to Walt’s Organic Fertilizer Company, in the coastal Pacific Northwest, you should apply corn gluten around March 15. In the South, he suggested that you apply it in February.

Apply corn gluten with a spreader at a rate of twenty pounds per thousand square feet. However, in order to not miss a spot in your lawn, apply ten pounds of the corn gluten in one direction and then begin again at a ninety degree angle (a crisscross pattern) and apply the balance of the corn gluten to your lawn.

Corn gluten is applied again in the late summer for perennial weeds reduction. When applying corn gluten, you must wait at least six weeks before seeding your lawn. However, it is best to seed your lawn in the fall. In my case, I will not be using the corn gluten in the late summer because I am still trying to establish a lawn. Since I live in the North, the best time to seed is late summer, which is also the time you would apply the corn gluten.

It takes three years of spring applications before you see the end results. According to the literature I read on the Iowa State’s Corn Gluten website, the first year you should expect to see about a fifty percent reduction in crabgrass and an 85 percent reduction in the second year with the caveat that you applied the herbicide correctly. In addition, corn gluten works best in dry conditions. If there is excessive rain, then the effectiveness of the corn gluten will be diminished. Be patient!! Crabgrass is pretty stubborn.

Since Corn Gluten is comprised of ten percent nitrogen, it is also a great fertilizer for your spring application. Nitrogen causes your lawn to become dense and green. In addition to killing crabgrass, the Corn Gluten Fact Sheet on the EPA website lists that corn gluten reduces root formation in eleven other weeds. It takes five to six weeks to decompose and in the meantime, it deters the growth of any seed that is emerging in that time frame. Conversely, due to its nitrogen content, any weeds that exist will be fertilized by the corn gluten.

How do you know which product to buy? Each product is composed of other nutrients other than corn gluten. Everyone should test their soil every three years to find out what nutrients their lawn needs by obtaining a soil test kit at your local county agricultural extension or buy one through the internet. (Check out the link below for Outsidepride.com.) Soil testing should be done each year thereafter if your lawn is deficient in any nutrient until your lawn is healthy.

I actually tested my soil last year because it was a brand new lawn. I was given a detailed report of what my lawn needed. Buy the product that contains the ingredients your lawn needs based on your soil test. For example, my lawn needs phosphorus because it used to be a meadow before we built our house. I would buy a product containing this additional ingredient.

My friend, Karen, asked me would wildlife camp out at to your property because of the free food. Corn gluten is also in dog food. I thought that was a great question because I already had enough wildlife at my property and did not need to announce there was an all you can eat buffet waiting for my animal friends. Professor Christians assured me that animals would not be attracted to the gluten.

So, whatever happened to my friend, Karen? After my conversation with Professor Christians, I immediately called Karen to tell her of my findings. Karen misses her dogs so much she has started to look for a new puppy who will romp freely on an organic lawn. (Ah, another organic convert.) As for me, well, stay tuned and I will let you know how my first corn gluten experience was.

When I first moved to Austin in the early part of 2001, I was fortunate enough to find myself a place South of Town Lake, just up the hill from the Continental Club on South Congress, and I’ve been a South Austinite ever since. When Austin embraced the “Keep Austin Weird” slogan, they definitely had my side of town in mind, but I worry, as I drive slowly down Travis Heights Blvd, taking care because of the speed bumps, what effects the current surge in construction, both residential and commercial in my beloved neighborhood, will have on the future of the weirder side of Austin.

In the early spring of 2001, when I resided in what is now referred to by hipsters as “SoCo,” the merchants along South Congress Avenue dreamed up a monthly event they called “First Thursday” in order to bring in new business to the assortment of funky Austin emporiums that occupied the blocks bordered roughly by the Texas School for the Deaf, and Annie Street. Attended mostly by neighborhood residents at first, I quickly became a fan, and enjoyed my monthly stroll down the street with a group of comrades, taking full advantage of the fun and free beer First Thursdays offered. We enjoyed street dancing to bands like The Gulf Coast Playboys and Ponty Bone, who played in roped off areas on the street or on the new patio at Guerro’s Taco Bar. Artisans and vendors plied their wares, well-behaved dogs, hippies, and children were welcome, and a good time was generally had by all.

Today, I make a point to avoid the entire area on First Thursday because the traffic congestion has become a headache, and the crowds are too daunting for a “regular South Austinite” like me. In only six years, the South Congress Avenue I knew has changed. Someone finally opened a small market that wasn’t a 7-Eleven, Terra Toys lost their lease and had to move to the suburbs, Factory People installed the cool of neo-Warholism, and the NYC black bled down the street to Blackmail boutique, Goody Two Shoes, and Wet. Just Guns went the way of the old West, and the old hardware store vacated, making room for a new age gift shop. Capital Car Credit moved further south, and a four story ultra modern upscale structure is almost complete, including another pricey, but convenient and cool, neighborhood-style food market in which I’ll probably never shop. Just the other day, I heard Rue’s Antiques is closing, and I wonder what they will do with all the cool junk they used to sell.

Real estate is slowly but steadily transforming the surrounding neighborhoods of cozy bungalows into models of urban art, architecture, and green building innovation, and I feel ambivalent about the change. On one hand, change is inevitable, although sometimes it arrives more quickly than we could ever imagine, and I want to attempt to find some connection between the old and the new, the past and the present, and to adapt to the undeniable fact that Austin is becoming more urban and less weird every day. But have no fear, there are still pockets of weirdness to be discovered, even though in less concentrations than they were in the past, and I’ll bet my last dollar that they will never disappear completely from Austin’s heart and soul.

Affordable health care supplemental insurance for seniors is designed to accompany - or supplement - the health insurance coverage seniors already have. Cheap senior health insurance is sometimes just as difficult to obtain as health insurance for every other age group. Therefore, finding an affordable senior supplemental health care - a sort of “add-on” to existing senior health insurance policies - makes it easier for seniors to get the necessary and adequate health care.

Finding affordable health care supplemental insurance for seniors requires basically the same process as finding any kind of health care coverage. Seniors can begin by shopping around. Pay attention to advertisements both on the Internet and in print form. Word-of-mouth is also an excellent way to find out about affordable health care supplemental insurance for seniors. Ask friends and family members about their own senior health care supplemental insurance.

Affordable health care supplemental insurance for seniors is only affordable if it fits your budget and provides the kind of extra coverage you need. Once you’ve decided which health insurance companies you’d like to check out, ask their insurance agents or representatives about coverage options and rates. You want the coverage you need at the price you can afford. Don’t sacrifice a particular kind of coverage you need just to save a few bucks. At the same time, don’t agree to payments you may not be able to make. Think of it as a balancing act.

Affordable health care supplemental insurance for seniors doesn’t mean a thing if the company from which you’ve purchased your policy leaves you high and dry. Make sure the insurance company is licensed to do business in your state. You can do this by contacting your state’s department of insurance. There are many fly-by-night companies out there looking to make a quick buck, traveling around selling “insurance” and quickly leaving the scene of the crime, so to speak. If you know the company is licensed in your state, you know your state can help you if problems arise.

Impractical Causes:

By improper lifting and handling of items too heavy for the distributed weight of the person.

The back and stomach carry most of the bodys work force.

Dont push your limit.

If you have a pot belly, this will cause back trouble as a Fat Stomach will pull the back muscles inward.

One way that you can reduce excess belly fat without pills and strenuous exercise, is to use a Neoprene body wrap.

By wrapping this around your middle it will cause the area to sweat at the same time support the stomach and back.

Such support tools will reduce not only the extra subcutaneous tissue but reduce back pain.

Make sure that you use the wrap over cotton clothing, otherwise, if left on the skin you will develop blisters.

The cotton clothing will absorb the sweat.

You may find that you get constipated and even when you eliminate the pressure may subside but the pain is ever persistent.

This is because you have not eliminated all that there is to eliminate.

Using split Flax Seed will scrape the walls of the colon and get you regular having proper elimination. Use one tablespoon full once a day.

Yes, put it in your mouth, half of a tablespoon at a time and drink it down the hatch.

If your body is very warm and then suddenly cooling off or getting in a draft.

This can cause the muscles to tighten up and once seized, have fun.

Dont sit on cement, stone or marble. These drain the body temperature from the derriere area and can cause the back to suffer for it.

This Formula is Confidentially Yours

Herbal Treatment:

Mix thoroughly together and then mix in enough boiling hot distilled or purified water to make a thick paste, about 1 quarter inch thickness.

Spread evenly on a white cotton cloth or make a muslin pouch large enough to cover the area. Place on affected area while the paste is still fairly hot and cover with plastic wrap.

Leave on for at least 2 hours and replace. Do not reuse or reheat the contents of the poultice. Always use fresh herbs when reapplying an application.

Everyone has the power within to become a psychic. Of course some people have more ability to tune in to this unique talent than others, but psychic ability is inherent in all of us and just like learning any other skill, it requires practice. Nothing of value comes to anyone without some degree of practice and reading another person is no different. Remember, you already have the ability with in, you only need to fine tune it.

Practice

Begin practicing by giving readings to acquaintances and getting feedback on you accuracy. Without feedback you won’t know if what you’re telling another person is relevant or makes sense. Through feedback a psychic in training can gain knowledge on how to interpret the signs they are getting. The beginner should never fear being wrong. Even the best psychics in the world don’t get it right all the time so just remember, no one is 100% accurate all the time.

Meditate

Another very essential element to connecting with your psychic ability is meditation. Meditate at least once a day… even if it is only for a short period of time. It is with meditation that we connect with our inner self or higher being. Whatever questions or concerns you have, your higher being carries all the answers, but the only way to get in touch with this knowledge is through the quiet time you spend with yourself.

Be aware of any images, impressions, visions, or feelings you experience during meditation and, if you do receive an image or get a feeling about something, pursue it. It’s surprising how many people are satisfied with just little snippets of information when there is usually so much more to be had. Keep a journal of all your experiences and feelings and soon you will find that much of what you think and feel is actually answers to your questions.

Listen

Listening to your intuition is also an important factor in developing your psychic ability. Pay close attention to what we all know as that gut feeling. How many times have you or someone you know said, “I had a feeling that was going to happen.” or “I was just about to say that.”? These are all examples of your intuition at work. Listen to that ‘little inner voice’, as it will seldom be wrong.

Participate

Join a psychic development group and attend as often as you can… You’ll be with your peers who are learning just like you and you’ll gain a lot of experience in a safe environment where you won’t be criticized or feel embarrassed as you to develop your ability.

Remember that your state of mind is your most important asset in developing your psychic ability. You must believe that it is within your grasp and the more you desire to enhance your skills the more likely you will be to tap into your inner and higher being .Becoming a psychic requires patience and practice. If you are dedicated and patient you will succeed.

Please give me a break!
There is only so much
My heart and mind can take
My frustration I cannot fake
Nor my displeasure rake
Under all these emotions
Turbulent and tormenting
Because you aren’t relenting
No, I’m not just merely venting
Your interruptions are distracting
Please simply give me some space
Don’t be so pushy and disgrace
My personal integrity and dignity
Let me at least save some face
Find a better way to embrace
Your ideological beliefs, I distaste
Your demeanor drives me crazy
Frantic and furious like a salesman
Eager and impure as a telemarketer
Incessant as a Mormon on Saturday
Knocking at your door to hear them say
All about their dead religion and agony
When in reality, you want them to go away
Certainly never come back to talk or play
Irritating like a person who works for Amway
Smooth as a timeshare salesman on the Bay
Happily smiling and selling at the break of day
Don’t be like these folks who drive me nuts
Give me some space to cheer myself up
Don’t badger me like a mean nagging wife
Who complains nonstop and causes strife
Graciously shove off now and go get a life
Leave me without trying to seduce and entice
Cleverly intimidate, manipulate, or motivate
I am not interested in those who aggravate
Endeavor to belittle, criticize, and deviate
From sensitivity, serenity, and solitude
Nor do I give time to those who are rude
By no means am I a boring old prude
However my time is valuable and mine
Don’t barge in therefore without a welcome
Seek to rearrange and change my world
I’m having lots fun and am not bored
Living my dreams, daily moving toward
Give me a break so I can move forward.

Get some nerve and gumption to function
Be aggressive in your needed initiation
Don’t sit idly by in the same pitiful station
Waiting for a supernatural manifestation
Go ahead and make it happen captain!
Take some immediate necessary action
Alter the status quo and get on the go!
Don’t hesitate to boldly give’m a show
Don’t be so easily blowed over by a “no”
Persevere and push through so they know
You’re not one to go along with the flow
Nicely, bureaucratically be put on a shelf
Sat on the sidelines behind someone else
While they have another smoke and coffee
Lift up your voice! Open their eyes to see
Success and progress doesn’t come free
Somebody must plow and push through
This is why I am transparently telling you
To get some chutzpah and internal fortitude
Telling people what you want is not rude
What you tolerate will perpetually dominate
Your own mental health don’t frustrate
Beating around the bush is what most do
Never accomplishing anything for me or you
Yet miserably moping quietly at home privately
Restlessly tormenting their friends and family
It would therefore be far more easy to act
Get some spunk, courage, grit, and guts
To more quickly get beyond life’s many ruts
Get some intestinal strength and determination
Don’t worry about being disliked by some
You can apologize later after you get done
What you need to do. As for now arise you
Make something happen before day’s end
Gain respect before trying to make a friend
Diplomacy is good and sometimes a big help
But if not be resourceful to try something else
Be intolerant of wasting time and your dime
On ignorant, lazy, and disinterested people
Delaying your destiny for such is feeble
The timely, appropriate use of gall is regal
Harness that emotional intensity purposefully
To erupt with sheer, unrelenting audacity
Awake the dead and get things moving quickly.

Do you believe you have latent psychic abilities? Have you often felt something was going to happen and then it actually did? How many times have known what someone was going to say, before they said it? This is your intuition at work and may be just the tip of your sleeping psychic talents. With desire and practice you can bring your own latent abilities to life.

Disciplined practice is the key to helping anyone enhance their psychic ability and developing your own talent only requires the decision to begin.

The human brain is truly the original computer and regularly bombarded with all sorts of images and information. The subconscious memory contains more information than is contained in all of the world’s libraries. While some people will develop their psychic ability very little or not at all many others will work to further enhance their intuition.

Meditation

One of the most important steps in enhancing psychic awareness is to get in touch with one’s higher self. This is done through meditation. If you feel you need help learning the technique of meditation, you can often find a class in your community or even teach yourself through the many books available on the subject. Meditation will clear negative emotions and thoughts and promote calm and self-healing. It is important to meditate everyday even if just for 20 minutes.

Relaxation is the key to meditation and opening the flow of psychic energy. So let go of the daily stress and problems. This does not require concentration or effort of any kind, in fact just the opposite.It is important to establish an inner peace, and in time your spiritual energy flow will increase.

Be aware of all you feel and see while meditating, as often these are the answers to your questions and concerns in life. Keep a journal and write down what you experience during your meditative state. Compare your notes to actual events that occur. As you continually practice staying in touch with your inner self, your spiritual development will grow and. the stronger you psychic ability will become.

Remove the Fear

The beginning or practicing psychic should never be afraid of misreading their own intuitive feelings or mental images. If you hang onto the fear of being incorrect then that same fear will cause you to actually be incorrect. Even long time psychics aren’t accurate 100% of the time. Moving past your mistakes and continuing to believe in yourself is all part of growing in your psychic abilities.

Many people with psychic abilities are discouraged from making use of their inherent capacities. Being a psychic is not unnatural or something to be feared but rather a disciplined and trained quality accessible to every human determined to pursue it. Developing your psychic ability can enrich your life in many ways, providing a strong connection between your conscious and subconscious mind, enhance your spirituality, and deepen your faith. It is up to you to recognize your talents.

Your browsing the internet looking for something you can do in your spare time that will earn you some extra money, say $200-$500 a month. You have heard that there is an opportunity to make money by taking surveys online. You decide that it might be something that fits into your schedule to do. Now the question is…do I choose a subscription survey package or do I go for the free ones?

The main benefit to signing up to participate in free online surveys is the obvious….it’s free! There are some websites that have compiled a small list of up to 30 companies. You can get access to their list for free simply by giving them your name and e-mail. Then you have complete access to the companies that they have compiled. You sign up with the companies that look good to you and you are ready to go. Sounds pretty simple! So I suppose you are asking, “What are the cons of joining a FREE survey listing?” There are several. Here are some things to think about.

First, you just gave someone your first name and e-mail address. What are they going to do with it? They are probably selling the information to another company. Then who knows what kind of company’s they will sell it off to and what they will send you.

Second, maybe the company that you sign up with does its own marketing. Now they have your name and e-mail to send you out daily “junk” e-mails. They don’t just send one or two you will be receiving 5-10 e-mail offers a day. Or maybe they do both and then who knows how many e-mails you will end up with.

Third, a lot of these survey companies don’t pay cash for your opinion. They reward you with points that you can use to purchase things off of their rewards site. In order to earn the points you have to buy products according to their terms from their sponsored companies. For an example, you are asked to try a new eye cream. They send you a sample and as long as you purchase that from the company every other month for 6 months they will pay you $30. You don’t receive the money from them until you have fulfilled your obligation. But because of the terms of the agreement you end of not making any money at all. Yes you do get to save money on the product but these methods defeat the whole point of taking surveys online - MONEY. And technically you’re not taking a survey you’re being asked to purchase products.

There are companies that you can join directly by visiting their website. With little effort you can locate about 10 legitimate companies that pay in cash rewards. Check out my website for several that you can join without searching the internet. So why would a pay a subscription fee to join a list? While it is possible to find several survey companies to join how much time do you want to spend doing it? You could spend 3-6 months coming up with all of the companies that have been compiled by one of these companies. Then you would have to constantly be updating your list in order to stay up with the changes. When you join a subscription based survey list you gain access to hundreds and hundreds of companies. The more companies you join the more money you can make. But, that is why you are asked to pay a small fee for the time that they put in to compiling the list for you. Also, they are constantly updating the list for you so that allows you to stay current on the new survey companies that have entered the field. Not only are you getting a very large list of survey companies but you will also gain access to companies that you can get paid to shop as a mystery shopper, watch movie trailers and participate in online focus groups. The small fee to join can usually be earned back within 1 hour of taking surveys. Think of all the time saved and potential money earned by taking this route.
