Think about education requirements you may want to start working on or part-time/volunteer work that may give you some of the on-the-job training that may help you. Think about what you love to do and see if that can become a career for your.

To your health and future. Leigh

Protect Yourself from Phishing or Identity Theft!

When you open your email think about the following:

A Phisher e-mails a potential victim claiming to be from a familiar source (a bank, Paypal, credit card co, etc). The message contains a threat or question requiring the victim to go to the company site by the link in the email. The victim clicks on the link and is taken to a site that looks real but it’s a fake. The victim enters his sensitive information, (account #’s, passwords, etc). The phisher uses the data to access the real corporate site to steal money and for identity theft.

Hacking your password gets much harder if you follow these tips.

1. The longer the password the better (go for 8 characters or more)
2. Use a mix of upper and lower case letters.
3. Use numbers and at least 1 special character.

If you get an e-mail you are not sure about, contact the source (the bank, credit card co, etc)directly, do not click on any link in the e-mail. Your bank may want you to forward the email to them so that they can follow the hacker. Protect yourself by not sharing information with people you may or may not know and being a little more cautious even with people you think you know. Think about all this when you set up your social networking.

Protect yourself!

Repel Mosquitos with Natural Plants from your Garden!

Lemon Balm, the International Herb Association’s 2007 Herb of the Year, is an ancient antidote to modern-day stress. This versatile herb can be used to calm nerves, promote restful sleep, and reduce digestive distress — plus it could be your new best friend in the great outdoors. Not only do its leaves have a rich, zippy, lemon smell, but they also contain compounds that can repel mosquitoes.

“Some northern European forms of lemon balm are high in citronellal, a compound which mimics the well-known herbal repellent citronella oil,” says Arthur Tucker, an ethnobotanist at Delaware State University. He notes that some forms of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) are nearly 38 percent citronellal. A variety called ‘Quedlinburger Niederliegende’ with this higher content of essential oil is available from Johnny’s Selected Seeds and Richters.

For a quick mosquito repellent, simply crush a handful of lemon balm leaves in your hand and rub them on your exposed skin. Grow the plants near your backdoor or in your garden, where the leaves will be handy when you need them.

LEMON BALM TO THE RESCUE
In addition to keeping biting bugs at bay, lemon balm has a long history of medicinal use. Cultivated in the Mediterranean region for the past 2,000 years, this perennial herb was prized for its catchall curative properties. During the Middle Ages, King Charles V of France was said to drink lemon balm tea daily for his health. Paracelsus, a Swiss Renaissance physician, called lemon balm the “elixir of life.” And in the 17th century, the French Carmelite nuns made their famous Carmelite Water with lemon balm and other herbs to treat nervous headaches and neuralgia. Today, lemon balm is gaining acceptance as a useful herb for modern stress-related maladies.

“Weedy lemon balm, which any old brown thumb can grow, would be one of the herbs you should try before resorting to pharmaceuticals,” says James Duke, an internationally renowned herbal expert. “It’s cheap, easy, efficacious, pleasing and safe; and it makes a good tea. Lemon balm is about as safe and pleasant an herb as there is.”

Duke thinks lemon balm could compete favorably with drugs such as Ambien for insomnia, Avirax for oral herpes, Zoloft for depression and Zantac for indigestion. The German Commission E, established by the country’s Minister of Health in the ’70s to review herbal remedies, has approved lemon balm for gastrointestinal problems, as well as nervous sleeping disorders.

Where can you get Audiobooks for free?

Get audiobooks for free from LibriVox.org, a worldwide digital library with more than 4,000 unabridged books in the public domain; classics, drama and poetry. They can be played on your computer, MP3 player, cellphone or burned to a CD and played on your car stereo. These books are read by volunteers and you can be one too. Free audiobooks are also available through literalsystems.org and audiobooksforfree.com.

When my mom was in her later years, she developed macular degeneration and was unable to enjoy one of her greatest pleasure, reading. Audiobooks were available through her local library and she loved them. If you know someone that has macular degeneration or has any problem seeing or reading, find out if they are interested in audiobooks. You could download the books for them to read or check with your local library. The smile on their face will be a wonderful reward!

Enjoy your reading! Leigh

Retuning Your High-Definition TV to Save Money

You can save up to $50 a year on your high-definition TV. Here's How!!

Many high-definition televisions are shipped from the manufacturers with a "retail mode" of screen brightness that displays optimum picture clarity in the showroom. Go to your television's setup menu and look for "home mode" or some other way to dial down the brightness. Another great way to save!

Hope Against Baldness! Bald is Beautiful!

Men who lose their hair may have one more option for regrowing their vanished crop: new research show that balding areas have the same number of hair stem cells as more hirsute ones.

Researchers hope to boost populations of a progenitor cell that somehow fails to develop from the stem cells.

This article from Time Magazine Jan 17, 2011 gives all hope for more hair if you are inclined that way. I am married to a guy that has been bald on top since his early 20's and I think bald is beautiful and as is said "is a solar panel for a sex machine".

I have know guy that were so self-conscious about their lack of hair they turned ladies off. Guys, a man who is confident with himself, whether he has hair or not, is what turns the ladies on. If the only thing the lady is interested in is your looks keep looking for someone interested in you and things you like to do. There are a lot of them out there. Keep Looking!

Let me know if you think "Bald is Beautiful" too!

Allergy Season, Home Air Filters, Heart Disease, Are they all connected?

Air Pollution and allergens may contribute to the risk of heart disease by promoting inflammation in lung tissue and blood vessel cells.

This can include particles from wood smoke, car exhaust, mold, pollen, dust and more.

For people who experience multiple allergies, filtering air to remove excess pollens, dust and mold spores aids in allergy prevention.

High-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA filters, in ventilation systems can remove more than 60-80 percent of airborne allergens and lower markers of inflammation in the blood by 33% and improve functioning of vessel cells.

Homeowners should change the filters regularly for maximum effect. Be sure to use high-efficiency particle air (HEPA) filters. Don't let allergy season get you down. Leigh

Juan Williams, NPR firing Protest Scripted!

The Associated Press reported today that many people are calling in protesting and threatening to withhold donation because of NPR's firing of Juan Williams, former Fox employee and regular guest on the Bill O'Reilly's conservative talk show on Fox News.

It is believed that many of the so called protesters are reading from scripts as they keep using the same wording over and over again, using the same words, such as "totalitarian". When the representatives from NPR were asked how they could tell, Dana Davis Rehm in Washington said, "When people say, 'I'm never going to watch you again', that's an indicator.".

Do you think the Bill O'Reilly Show and Williams could have gotten together and planned this or was William's just stupid enough to follow in O'Reilly's footsteps. It seems that many of the conservatives in this country are acting like cattle following a bull to slaughter. We are suppose to be "The Land of the Free" but we are becoming "The Most Hated Country" due in part by the Bush administration and now by the ultra-right-wing conservatives like O'Reilly.

Wake up Americans and see what these people are doing to our country. I don't consider myself conservative or liberal but have views that go both ways. I bet if most Americans would take a good look, honestly, at their views they would find out that was true about most.

Even the starters of the Tea Party have denounced what the Republican Party has done to their movement.

Wake up American and get out there and vote before we lose "OUR AMERICA"!

Do you need to get a Flu Shot?

Even Thought the World Health Organization said the H1N1 pandemic was over, the virus is still out there along with the rest of the flu virus. Here's what you should know to protect yourselves during this influenza season.

The only reason you had to get 2 flu shots last year is because there was not enough time to combine the shots because the regular flu shot was already in production when the H1N1 infection emerged.

This year flu vaccine protects against 3 strains of influenza:

H1N1 strain, H3N2 strain and a B strain of the virus.

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that all people 6 months or older be vaccinated against the flu. Many medical groups are calling for mandatory immunization of health care workers as they are at increased risk of getting the flu due to exposure.

You can go to Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, WinnDixie, and almost any drug store chain to get your flu shot at reasonable cost. Medicare is accepted at most of these locations and covers the cost.

It is important that you get your flu shot. If protects you, your family and anyone you are around. If you have a child in school think of the exposure they have and the cost for doctors, missed school and missed work taking care of them. The flu shot is a lot cheaper. So GO get your FLU Shot!

IPods, Cell Phones, Do they damage your hearing?

First it was IPods. Now evidence suggests that cell phones may also be jeopardizing your hearing.

Mobile phone users who were tested over the course of a year showed some damage to the cochlea, the fluid-filled organ deep within the ear that translates sound waves into nerve impulses that feed into the brain.

It's not clear whether the damage is cumulative, but you might want to turn down the volume during your next walk-and-talk.

Get the Health Benefits of Garlic, But Not the breath!

Feasting an a garlic-infused meal is a sure way to win yourself some alone time. But if you'd like to get the health benefits of garlic and keep your friends, try drinking a glass of milk along with it. A study found that milk lowers the concentration of volatile odor-emitting compounds from garlic in the nose and mouth. And it's best to make it whole milk: fat is an effective deodorizer.

Looking for a house online, must-read advice!

If you are house hunting online, here's some must-read advice.

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make. Even if you plan to work with a real estate agent, the Internet can give you a leg up by helping you educate yourself and search for properties. Follow these tips when house shopping online.

• Do the math. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as Freddie Mac, offers online resources to get you started. Online calculators are a great starting point when determining how much house you can afford, but also consider other expenses like utilities and maintenance
• Hone your house search. You know what kind of house you want. The Internet will help you narrow down the options. Use tools such as a Multiple Listing Service to search for homes based on number of bedrooms, price range, proximity to schools or military bases, and other variables.
• Map it. See something you like? type in the home's address into an online mapping service and zoom in for a closer look. The satellite view will help you locate fence lines, outbuildings and landscape features, which are often left out of real estate listing. Switch to street view, and take a virtual tour of the neighborhood. Check out the condition of the neighboring houses and look for power plants, empty lots and other eyesores.

Tame your Information Appetite, Information Overload

Between the Internet, Cable TV, IPhones, Ipads, Cell Phones, computers, laptops and all the over information devices most people are suffering from information overload. We skim over Twitter, Facebook, Google, and anyplace else we can to keep on top of everything and are afraid we might miss out on some information. We are having problems focusing and getting our work done.

Here are some tips to "TAME YOUR INFO APPETITE"!

Study Your Habits: Don't be a passive consumer of culture. Ask your self everyday whether you are focusing on the right things.

Limit Your Inputs: Stick to favorite websites and TV programs and resist aimless Web and channel surfing. Open-ended cruising can cause you to lose track of time and goals.

Exercise Your "Concentration Muscles": Focused activities such as reading an absorbing book or meditating will sharpen attention and relieve stress.

Leave A Trail: When you think of something for your to-do list -- or a juicy but non pertinent article catches your eye --make a note to return to it later. Then get back to the task at hand.

Get Some Air: When you take a break, unplug completely. Take a walk, meet a friend for coffee, play with the dog. You'll return refreshed-- and with better focus.

Let It Go: Okay, so you can't figure out why you recognize a particular actor on TV. Just because you can get the answer online doesn't mean you should. Which will be more valuable tomorrow -- knowing the answer or finishing your work?

"If you spend much of your days multitasking, rushing, and half-listening, you won't be exercising the "muscles" of the brain that are needed for focusing," states Maggie Jackson, author of "Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age".

This information is from the AARP Magazine for July-August 2010.

Gardening with Coffee Grounds: Living Green!

I was reading an older issue of Mother Earth News and
found an ad that listed some great uses for Coffee
grounds in the garden.

1) Sprinkle used grounds around plants before rain or watering for slow-release nitrogen.

2) Add to compost piles to increases the nitrogen balance. Coffee filters and tea bags break sown rapidly during composting.

3) To make a gentle fast-acting liquid fertilizer, dilute a half pound of wet coffee grounds with five gallons of water.

4) Mix into soil for household plants or vegetables.

5) Encircle the base of plants with a coffee and eggshell barrier to repel pests.

6) If you are into vermi-posting feed a little bit to your worms.
