(ARA) - Whether hair is wavy or straight, dry or fine, one thing most women have in common is the desire for strong, beautiful hair. In fact, 80 percent of women say they feel more confident when they have a good hair day, according to a recent survey from KRC Research.
What many women may not know, however, is that they've been treating the wrong end of their hair instead of focusing on the source - the scalp. Research conducted on behalf of Unilever suggests that 99 percent of hair's natural strength and beauty comes from the scalp, and a well-nourished scalp is the right foundation for strong, beautiful hair.
Top celebrity hair and skin experts from the Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy team discuss the importance of caring for the scalp and what it takes to get gorgeous hair.
Feed scalp, feed beauty: Nationally renowned dermatologist Dr. Francesca Fusco advises her clients to nourish the scalp. "It is essential to give our scalp as much TLC as we give to our skin because after all, scalp is skin," she says. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, also have a beneficial effect on skin and scalp. Fusco also suggests using nourishing shampoos and conditioners such as new Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy which restore the scalp's natural moisture balance. The line is infused with Nutrium 10, a rich blend of vitamins and nutrients including vitamins B5, C and E designed to nourish the scalp and hair deeply.
Drink up: There's a new reason to refill your water bottle. Along with a healthy diet and reducing stress, staying hydrated can impact the overall health of your skin (and scalp) and also plays a part in keeping hair looking beautiful. "I recommend drinking at least two liters of water daily to keep skin hydrated," says Dr. Fusco. Not only does hydration help with skin health but it can also help reduce frizz.
Nourish the foundation: Celebrity stylist Oscar James cautions against sacrificing scalp nourishment for style. "African American women tend to have dryer scalps and many use chemical treatments and relaxers that can dry out the scalp," says James. "That's why I like the Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy Ultra Shea line because it includes shampoo, conditioner, oil and balm that work together to quench dryness and lock in moisture for long-lasting nourishment."
Take a break: Jen Atkin, stylist to some of Hollywood's leading ladies, advises giving your hair a break from heat styling and lots of products to help improve overall scalp and hair health. "A great cut that works with your hair's natural texture makes a huge difference and can reduce styling time," she says. Letting hair dry naturally can save time and is easier on your strands.

Ice Makers & Ice Machines: No more bags of melted ice or last minute trips to the store
Ice is a commodity that many people and businesses use in their everyday activities. Not many people stop to consider the source unless they find themselves without. If you have a large family, love to entertain, or own your own business, you must consider the benefits of owning your own ice maker. Whether your needs or residential or commercial, an ice maker or ice machine is a reliable source for everyday ice use.
Residential ice makers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from small and compact portable ice makers to sleek built-in ice makers. These are perfect for small-scale ice needs and venues, such as your home, office, or small business.
There are also different types of commercial ice machines, such as modular and self-contained ice units. Commercial units are ideal for large-scale ice needs and venues, such as schools, hospitals, restaurants, and bars. Modular ice machines require a separate ice bin for storage purposes. Different ice machines make different types of ice, as well.
If you're looking for a particular style of ice, you should shop by ice type. Bullet, clear, crescent, cube, gourmet , flake, and nugget/pearl are some of the options you can choose from.
You must consider both the production and storage capacity when shopping for an ice maker. The production capacity is how much ice the machine can produce in a 24 hour period, while storage capacity is how much ice the unit can store at any given time. Many ice machines will suspend ice production once capacity is reached.
Whether your needs are large or small, consider how a residential ice maker or commercial ice machine can offer automated ice production, completely eliminating the hassle of finding a reliable source elsewhere.

We have quite a few people at our rinks giving a try to the Italian skates.
Any feedback? Lovers or haters out there??
We have quite a few people at our rinks giving a try to the Italian skates.
Any feedback? Lovers or haters out there??
I tried them on, but didn't like the way they felt/looked.
Sk8Dreams on skatingforums.com wears Edeas. (I'm not sure what her ID is on FSU)
I think she said the insole doesn't have much cushioning, so she replaced the inserts. Other than that, she likes the skates.
We have TONS of skaters in them at our rink- all in the Fly Ice model.
They all love them, though it seems like they would be over-booted in them, as none are working on triples (well, maybe one is?) Which makes me wonder how suitable they are to people who are really working at that highest level if kids with low doubles are finding them to be great skates.
The girl who is doing triples told me they break down sooner than other skates, but are totally worth it because they feel so much better. We had a coach describe them as "comfy as a tennis shoe"
Last edited by Skittl1321; 08-29-2012 at 06:42 PM.
My daughter skates in Edea Ice Flys. She absolutely loves them! She is working on all of her triples and they seem to last as long as her Grafs did ~ 6-8 months. She skates between 4 - 5 hours each day in the summer and about 4 hours in the winter.
She also describes them as feeling like a tennis shoe. For her, there is really no break-in time to speak of. Day one she is doing programs with all of her jumps.
She is on the small size but I have heard of girls who are bigger and heavier having trouble with them breaking down too quickly. Most of them are switching to the Edea Concerto as they are a stiffer boot.
The only thing I have heard from top skaters who use them for triples is that they are having issue with the laces coming undone. They are saying that the extra foam in the tongue is causing them to not be able to tighten them down. Otherwise, everyone loves them.
My coach uses them.. loves them. said there was practically no break in time. She does doubles up to double axel.
My daughter is using them this season. They fit well immediately, but it took her about 2 weeks to get used to the different feel of the boot. She and another skater got them around the same time, and it was almost comical that they couldn't even stroke on the ice without stumbling all over for at least a session or two. Her other boots would get heat molded and she'd take off on them that day. Now, she loves the Edea, but getting used to the boot was tough. The girls said one thing they noticed was that the heel felt higher, but yes, more like a sneaker.
My daughter went through Reidell's every six months, breaking them down before she outgrew them. So far, so good with the Edeas.
I have been using them for years. Best skates I've ever had. Getting a new pair soon, last pair lasted me at least 4 years. I coach only but am on skates 6 days a week for about 20 hours. Brilliant skates.
I guess the hard thing for a lot of people to accept is why God would allow me to go running through their yards, yelling and spinning around.
I don't have Edea, but many elite skaters do (Patric Chan, for example). I was told they are very comfortable. Oh, Stefania Berton wears them as well and she's super happy about them.
A grumpy Canadian will always be nicer than a polite Milanese
As of this year's World medalists in singles, four out of six use Edea boots: all of the men (there's a pic of the podium on their official website) and Akiko Suzuki, who started using them only last season and reported on her blog that she's very happy she made the change. I'm pretty sure Narumi Takahashi has them, too.
(oh, and I'm new, hello everyone!)
I'm a little skeptical of using elite skaters as a reason to change just because they're wearing a certain brand. Let's be honest: they're probably receiving freebies, endorsements or other perks from the vendor to try the product and give out positive feedback. If there are any elite skaters who tried the skates and didn't like them, they're not speaking up, probably because of contractual obligations.
Not knocking the skate or the company, just saying that I would put more stock in the non-Elite skaters' experience and feedback than an international competitor.
They're actually making the investment and can think/speak for themselves with honesty.
If you are someone like Chan or Takihashi, you can get free boots from ANY manufacturer. You don't have to just go with the one pair that was nice enough to reach out and sponsor you. (From my experience with a much lower ranked elite skater, he wore a brand of boots, and they contacted him to say "want to appear on our website, we'll sponsor you". It wasn't that he was contacted and then started wearing their boots.)
However, I think the needs of elite skaters are so different from the vast majority of skaters that what they wear has little bearing on what is good for others.
And we do hear the "boot problems" all the time from skaters sponsored by boot companies...
Jeremy Abbott had problems (Reidell?), Alissa Czisny had problems (Jackson - the flex kinds). Another skater just came out with Reidell boot problems. They've all been mouthpieces for their skate brands, but they also say when they don't work (and always have a positive word about how the company is working with them to fix it, of course.)
Ilia Kulik changed to Edea's from Grafs several years ago and just loves them (he also put his daughter Liza who competes at the Juenvile level in Edeas). He said that they do break down a little faster than some other boots but loves them nonetheless. I don't think the argument about elite skaters getting freebies holds because as skittl said in most cases they could get free any brand they want so the brand is really a choice. Also, these folks are REALLY picky about their equipment - they will use what they each think is best for them. Ilia indicated that the weight (or lack of it) with Edea boots gives him potentially, he said, an additional several inches in height off the ice on his jumps. He really was very excited about the new technology in boots and the potential as better and better man-made materials are developed.
All of the above information comes from an in person discussion Ilia had with Krew members after a Disson show taping in Rapid City, South Dakota. It was an interesting discussion.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how they can supposedly come in just one width, yet fit feet of all widths. Even if you do a heat molding process on them, there's just such a big difference in the amount of material needed to fit around a AA foot vs. the amount of material needed to fit around a EE foot. . . So how does that work?
Our skate shop sells them but suggested we look at different brands for my specific skater. He said they fit average feet best, even with custom heat molding.
As for my experiences with them, I like them well enough but think I will probably go back to Klingbeil for my next skate.
My Edea's had absolutely no break in time which is probably one of the main reasons I like them so much.
I guess the hard thing for a lot of people to accept is why God would allow me to go running through their yards, yelling and spinning around.
As for the Klings vs Edea, I'm a rather big girl and I just feel more stable in the Klings. Could be the fact that I don't really like my blades (made a major change at the same time), and not the boots.

Oakley Snowboarders Star Alongside Snow Park Tech in NatGeo's "Mountain Movers"
For the Torstein Horgmos and Mark McMorris' of the snowboarding world to be able to do what they do, they need to trust the terrain. When they go flying two stories into the sky, they need to know that they have the speed and lift to cover as much as a quarter of a football field on some of these Big Air jumps. That's the reason you've heard Horgmo publicly criticize features after events, calling for more athlete involvement and investment in the right crew to get the job done – and that right crew, according to most snowboarders you talk to, is Snow Park Technologies.
Up at Squaw Valley in March of this year, Torstein and Mark were sitting around a lavish cabin with the likes of Eero Ettala, Heikki Sorsa, Charles Reid and the reigning Queen of Slopestyle, Jamie Anderson. The mission that weekend was to be introduced to two brand new, never-before-seen or ridden features at two separate spots on the mountain.
Up rolled Chris "Gunny" Gunnarson, the president of Snow Park Technologies (SPT) and the rest of his acclaimed crew. High-fives and hugs were exchanged. Many times before SPT had been the molders of features that had garnered medals and glory for various members of this star-studded group of snowboarders. No medals would result from this meeting. Instead, the two crews would be bringing their unique talents to the table for a new project: an episode on a documentary-style, reality TV series on the National Geographic channel about SPT and what they do. A show called "Mountain Movers."
The episode airs this Thursday, where the world will learn which of team features was deemed the best by the athletes.
In anticipation of the show and because so little is actually known about what goes into creating these impressive and behemoth features, we sat down with Gunny and ran some tape.
How'd you get into the business of building features?
I was working at Snow Summit at the very, very infancy of park and pipes down in Big Bear and it just kind of spiraled from there. That was kind of the hot bed of the very beginning of parks, and 4 or 5 years into it, X Games made the first Winter X at Snow Summit. We've been doing X games since year one all the way through today and lots of other stuff inbetween.
What was the genesis of Snow Park Tech?
Me and Mike Binnell, my original partner in crime from Big Bear, we decided to take our show on the road. Sitting in a hotel room in Crested Butte during the second X Games, we said 'Let's call it Snow Park Technologies.' And then we were stuck with it, so we figured out how to make it work.
What was the premise for the show, Mountain Movers?
I had met up with a guy named Jason Carbone, he's a producer, he'd just come off Ryan Sheckler's show, "Life of Ryan," and "Run's House," which is about Run-D.M.C., and I'm represented by Wasserman [Media Group] and Steve Astephen, and we just thought we had a cool idea for more of the behind-the-scenes of what goes into some of these big projects and events on snow and took a different approach of less lifestyle and more build; a documentary-type build show. And we kind of lucked out that between some big partners like National Geographic and Chevrolet that they believed in the idea too and the next thing we knew we were making a TV show.
What goes into making a good feature? We have two distinctly different features for the Oakley Challenge, but what's the behind-the-scenes process of putting a good feature together?
Well, it starts with some creative conceptual planning and design, then you sort of figure out realistically and logistically how you can actually make that happen. Sometimes we go back to the drawing board based on timeframes, the likely amount of snow and what type of set-up you're going to do. And because we're dealing with snow, it's an ever-evolving process because it's a malleable surface, meaning it's always subject to change. Plus we're always staying in tune with what the riders are looking for and what's going to be fun and what's lending itself to creativity, fun-factor and flow, and a ton of different things.
So the two features that the Oakley team hit were for a single episode?
Yeah. So there are eight episodes in the show and each one it totally different. We have a pretty strong partnership and friendship with Oakley, our snow cats are all branded Oakley, we all wear Oakley, we've even got custom Oakley glasses and goggles that we've been doing, and so we decided 'hey, let's do something where we can create something for the Oakley team and at the same time use our Oakley snow cats to build it.' Oakley was holding the Oakley Week here at Squaw and Alpine, so we thought let's try to package all those things together and try to kill a whole bunch of birds with one stone. That was the original impetus between me and Zack Dalton [Oakley Snowboard Team Manager] and Josh Hoyer.
How'd the two features come to be? Were you involved with overseeing both or did you have two different teams?
So, what we did was we thought it'd be fun to make a little bit of a challenge. Usually we have months and months of planning on practically every big project we're doing, and I have a hand in all of them deeply, and in this one we split up my two crews between the two mountains and let them go with their own creative juices, given some parameters. We knew Oakley wanted to shoot photo and video, get their team on the stuff, so we didn't want to have either feature be too similar. We didn't work in a vacuum, even though that's the way it'll come across in the show, because we didn't want to have two identical jumps in two places, we tried to make something that'd be very different on each and so Chris Castaneda took point on the set-up at Squaw and Corley Howard took point on the project at Alpine and we worked with staffs there and they had a specific amount of time and machinery and resources to get it done.
What were your thoughts on the two features once they were complete?
Well, I was very proud of my guys for coming up with something very different from one another. With Alpine they definitely went this Urban/jib-route that had just a ton of different lines and options. For the feature at Squaw, well, Chis and Torstein have worked together on a lot of stuff and Torstein had been telling us for a good year now that there's this particular type of jump that he feels that with where snowboarding's going allows for trick progression that we don't see in typical park jumps or even some of the big air or slopestyle stuff we're building – so from a strategy standpoint, I thought it was cool that Chris went for something that Torstein particularly has been looking for in that he has an idea in his mind for certain tricks that haven't been done yet that he could possibly do on a jump that throws you more up than out and that was the idea there.
What kind of time/variables goes into the construction of these features?
The Squaw set-up had two cats for round-the-clock for five days. A lot of times it depends on how much snow is in the location. So if there is four feet of snow on the ground, it's going to take less time to farm the snow than if there's two feet because you've got to back up twice as far, so gathering the snow depends on how much natural pack or man-made pack is on the ground in the area that you have to work and there wasn't as much snow in the Squaw area as years' past in that spot, so it took them a long time to scrape that together and it is a pretty big-ass feature.
Was there anything in either of those zones when you started?
No, they were empty. And the cool thing is that in the aftermath of this shoot those zones are going to live on as like the Oakley section of the park at Squaw and the Oakley section in the park at Alpine, and that's just a continuation of the partnership that Oakley has with those two mountains.
What's the typical relationship or interaction with the athletes going into the construction of an upcoming or future feature?
These are athlete-driven sports and they always have been. We're trying to either stay as relevant as possible or even try to be a little bit ahead of the curve when we can. But as far as the relationship goes, everyone who was on this shoot, Mark, Torstein, Jamie, Charles, Heikki and Eero, are all good friends of ours, so that made it just that much more fun. But especially with the travel circuit and a lot of these film shoot type things, we see all these riders all the time all year long, so constantly connecting with them and getting feedback and paying attention to what's happening in the sport is really important for us. We're literally creating the canvas that these riders are going to work on, and our intention is to showcase the best that they've got and so we have to do our job the best we can to make sure that they can shine.

|Alvina Hermanson, 80
|Written by TRF Times
Goodridge - Alvina Hermanson, 80, died Tuesday July 10, 2012 at Triumph Hospital, Fargo, N.D., after a lengthy hospital stay and recent diagnoses of ALS.
Funeral services were held Monday, July 16 at Ekelund Lutheran Church in Goodridge, with Rev. Bob Dahlen officiating. Interment was held at Greenwood Cemetery, Thief River Falls.
Alvina Paulina (Kolstrand) Hermanson was born on July 26, 1931 in Star Township, Pennington County, the only daughter of Pearl Kolstrand. She was raised by her mother in her grandparent's home, basking in their love and the love of her many aunts and uncles. She was baptized at home on Oct. 1, 1931 and confirmed into the Christian faith at Oak Park Lutheran Church in Deer Park Township, Pennington County on July 14, 1946.
Living on the family farm, she had a close relationship with her uncles Lester and Clifford. Alvina lived a happy life as a young girl being involved in the many activities of a self-sufficient farm, such as berry picking, gardening, and tending to many farm animals. She enjoyed the lambing and calving seasons, the pigs and horses, and feeding the small animals such as chickens, kittens, and the family dog. There was always lunch to be made and taken to the hay field. Alvina had a close relationship with her cousins that lived nearby sharing many happy and exciting times together, including many hours in the playhouse.
Alvina attended school at Fairview District 56 of Star Township, being a good student of many teachers, her favorite being Edna Race Omlid. She enjoyed school very much, both the work and the play. Having fun riding bike with the neighborhood kids to and from school, she once rode into a barb wire fence that had been raised when she was gone, cutting herself badly. She carried the scares for life. As she grew older, she found an interest in drawing. As a young woman she loved to listen to music on the radio and to write the words of the songs into a notebook.
During a dance in Silver Star at Roland, Alvina met her future husband Henry (Hank) Hermanson. The couple was married June 7, 1952 at the Zion Lutheran Parsonage in Thief River Falls. To this union there were four children born, Sylvia, Barbara, Deonne and Denise.
Together, Alvina and Hank made their home on a farm in Reiner Township. They carved fields out of brush land to clear the land for future grain fields. Alvina spent many hours picking rocks and grubs alongside her husband. She wasn't always fond of all the jobs she was responsible for, especially driving a grain truck. A favorite family joke was "Ma, come hold the light", which usually involved many hours. When she wasn't actively working in the field, she was busy making meals and lunches for those who were working there.
Hank and Alvina took great pride in their farmyard; Hank mowed and Alvina did lots of clipping and trimming. When recalling life on the farm, Alvina's children and grandchildren have many fond memories of taking lunch out to the field for Hank. They laugh as they remember catching grasshoppers along the way. Her older children remember all the fruit canning, (sometimes she was surprised when she brought out the crate of fruit and many had vanished), and pickling. They also remember Alvina's homemade bread, lefse and cookies which she made regularly. Her younger children recall riding in the pickup box as she drove to Sjulestad's store for groceries.
Grandma Ali's was a place that fostered her grandchildren's creativity and imagination. She treasured each of her grandchildren and the time she spent with them. Whatever activity or game they wanted to play, she indulged them – whether it be building with blocks or making blanket tents. As they grew older, she attended their school and sporting events. Alvina was a very quiet woman, caring and tender hearted. Her whole world revolved around the love of her family.
Alvina's pastimes included reading, feeding the birds, watching animals, tending to her flowers, going for walks, embroidery and sewing. In later years she enjoyed doing puzzles, feeding the kitties, and keeping a watchful eye on the comings and goings and activities on the farm. Throughout her life one of her favorite things was listening to the music that Hank filled their home with.
For the last year of her life, Alvina treasured the time spent with her great-granddaughter, Ellie, who was the apple of "Grammy's" eye. They spent many happy hours playing together and enjoying each other's company. Ellie loved her Grammy enormously and often preferred being in her loving arms. Ellie sensed Grammy's absence when she became ill and was hospitalized.
Alvina is survived by her children, Sylvia (Rodney) Hoffman, Barbara (Paul) Odette, Deonne (Jeff) Bakken and Denise (Davie Naeseth) Naeseth, all of Goodridge; grandchildren, Alissa (Tim) Hruby, Lacey (Joe) Hruby, Brett, Brady, and Brandon Bakken, Brea and Cameron Naeseth; great-granddaughter, Ellie Hruby; sister-in-law, Laurie Waddy of La Jolla, Calif., and Carol Hermanson of Bonita, Calif.; brother-in-law, Sammy Hermanson of Goodridge; as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends.
Preceding her in death are her husband, Henry; mother, Pearl Kolstrand; uncle, Lester Kolstrand; and several aunts, uncles, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.
Arrangements were with Johnson Funeral Service in Thief River Falls.

|Bendick Julius Vatsaas Jr., 80
|Written by TRF Times
Tacoma, Wash. - Bendick Julius Vatsaas Jr., 80, of Tacoma, Wash., and formerly of Thief River Falls, died Tuesday, June 5, 2012.
A memorial service was held Saturday, June 16 at Oak Ridge Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls.
Ben was the oldest child of Bendick and Bernice (Olson) Vatsaas. He was born on July 12, 1931 at home in Clay County, west of Hitterdahl. He moved to a small cabin west of Trail, where he lived for a year. He then moved to Gully, where he started school.
He and his family moved to rural Thief River Falls in 1939 on Easter Sunday. There, he attended North Star Country School and Lincoln High School. He also attended the Area Vocational Technical Institute, taking auto mechanics. He joined the Air Force at the age of 17. He, and his brother Duane, served in Korea at the same time in 1954. Duane was in the Army.
In 1955, Ben married Luetta Rode in Benson. Ben retired from the Air Force in 1968, after 20 years of service. They settled in Tacoma, Wash., where they owned a winter home in Apache Junction. They made trips abroad to the Orient, Europe, and a river cruise on the Volga River, from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Another trip they enjoyed was following the footsteps of the Apostle Paul throughout Greece and Turkey. For their 50th wedding anniversary, they enjoyed a cruise through the Panama Canal.
He was involved extensively in his church and served on numerous committees. He was the grounds keeper for Trinity Lutheran Church of Tacoma, Wash. He would spend many hours working in the cemetery, getting it to look just perfect.
Ben loved to play guitar and make music with his friends, playing at church, nursing homes, for family and friends. He also played at the Host Fest in Minot, N.D. He also liked working in the yard and ceramics. But most of all, he loved being with his children, grandkids and great-grandkids.
Left to mourn his passing are his children, Debra Gramm, Ferndale, Wash., Becky (James) Smith, Tacoma, Wash., William (Chris) Vatsaas, Tacoma, Wash.; 10 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; brother, Duane (Pauline) Vatsaas, Thief River Falls; sisters, Inga Kennedy, Winston-Salem, N.C., JoAnn (Delray) Offerdahl, Thief River Falls, Patricia (Richard) Kjensrud, Thief River Falls; and many nieces, nephews, and friends of the Tacoma and Thief River Falls communities.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years in 2008; son-in-law Jerry Gramm; his parents; brother Jerry; infant brother; sister-in-law, Juanita Vatsaas; brother-in-law, James Kennedy; sister-in-law, Lona Mae Vatsaas; niece Susan; and nephew Mitch. A00003B2012JN27

Infinity Ward: Activision Wanted More World War II, 'Did Not Want Modern Warfare'by Nick Breckon, Oct 06, 2009 6:01pm PDT
While the decision to branch off from World War II PC shooters and create the Modern Warfare franchise seems a no-brainer in hindsight, developer Infinity Ward now says that its owner Activision was against the idea from the start, deeming the idea "risky" and requesting more games set in the 1940s.
"With Call of Duty 2, we were dead set against it being World War 2," said Infinity Ward chief Vince Zampella to Official PlayStation Magazine, according to CVG.
"But Activision really wanted it, the compromise sort of being that we'd get some dev kits for consoles in exchange for doing a World War 2 game," he said. "We always wanted to be on consoles and Activision saw us as more of a PC developer."
"And something I'll add to that, Activision also did not want Modern Warfare. They thought working on a modern game was risky and [thought], 'oh my god you can't do that, it's crazy!' They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time."
"We had to fight for everything," added Infinity Ward's Jason West. "They wanted it to be World War 2. Again."

As a homeowner, there's nothing more important than keeping your home and your family safe. While FBI crime statistics show that the number of burglaries in the United States went down from 2010 to 2011, most burglaries are committed during the summer months when people are away on vacation. And with getaway season fast approaching, now is the perfect time to make sure your home is protected. Installing a home security system can bring you peace of mind—but did you know that it could also save you money at the same time?
According to FBI statistics, installing a monitored security system decreases the chance of a break-in by up to 80 percent—making it that much less likely that you will have to spend money to replace stolen items. Plus, a 24-hour security system, which could cost as little as a dollar a day, helps guard your home against fire, carbon monoxide dangers, flood and other critical—and potentially costly—conditions.
Investing in a security system also can save you money on homeowners insurance. According to MSN Money, installing a home security system could help you save 20 to 25 percent on your homeowner's insurance premium.
You've heard of a smart phone—but what about a smart home? There are now security systems that let you control things in your home from your office or smart phone. That means you can remotely activate or deactivate your home alarm system, lock doors, set thermostats and turn on or off lights. This new way of interacting with your home is very convenient and saves costs—the perfect combination.

I have a damaged magnetic drum that provides the voltage sparks to my lawn mower motor that is split into 2 pieces.
Unfortunately, despite my internet search this part is no longer available. I tried the typical 2 parts epoxy glue unsuccessfully (drum would split again at the same exact location with simply manually cranking the motor).
I wonder if anyone has strong adesive recommendations that could potentially achieve the task. Or maybe some after market mod kit to allow me to fix the motor?
I bought a new mower yesterday evening and despite my old mower 15 years of age, the new Chinese manufactured piece of garbage will not come close to the efficiency of the old mower if I can fix it.
I will more likely return the new mower and buy better quality but I would hate to trash a good piece of equipment simply because the part is not available. I would like to keep the old one as back-up for my self and my sons (or other family members, friends) in the eventuality of failure or maintenance of any of the ones we are using. Yesterday evening was the first time I could cut my grass and the front of my house looked like an abandoned property for a couple weeks and I do not want to go through this again. I have not touched the back of the property yet as I will do that this evening and that will be be the big test on the new mower I bought yesterday evening. If that thing behaves as it did yesterday, it is definitely going back to where it came from.
Any help recommending how to fix the old but quality mower would be greatly appreciated!
If this helps, the motor is a TECUMSEH and the model number is TVS90...

Iron is a mineral that is found in every living cell. Iron exists in two forms—heme and nonheme. Heme iron is part of the hemoglobin and myoglobin molecules in animal tissues. About 40% of the iron in meat is in the heme form. Nonheme iron comes from animal tissues other than hemoglobin and myoglobin and from plant tissues. It is found in meats, eggs, milk, vegetables, grains, and other plant foods. The body absorbs heme iron much more efficiently than nonheme iron. Much of the iron in our diet comes from foods, such as breads and cereals that are fortified with this mineral. Worldwide, iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of malnutrition.
Iron's functions include:
- In hemoglobin, carrying oxygen to cells throughout the body
- In myoglobin, holding oxygen within the cells, especially heart and skeletal muscle cells
- Forming collagen, which is the major protein that makes up connective tissue, cartilage, and bone
- Helping fight infection by synthesizing certain enzymes needed for immune function
- Helping convert beta carotene to vitamin A
- Helping make amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein
- Aiding drug detoxification pathways in the liver
- Forming part of an enzyme that is essential for the production of several neurotransmitters
- Synthesizing cellular components that are important to metabolism
Recommended Intake
Iron needs are greatest during times of rapid growth—childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy. Also, women have higher requirements than men, to replace the iron that is lost with monthly menstruation.
Iron Deficiency
Groups of people who are susceptible to being iron deficient are:
- Women of childbearing years
- Teenage girls
- Female athletes
- Infants (depending on their diet)
- Children
- Elderly
- Low-income groups
- People with Crohn's disease or celiac disease—Iron is absorbed from a small intestine, and diseases affecting it may lead to poor absorption from food sources.
There are no symptoms of iron deficiency unless you become anemic. If not corrected, iron deficiency can progress to anemia. Symptoms of anemia include:
- Fatigue: feeling tired all the time or getting tired easily with activities you used to be able to do without difficulty
- Difficulty maintaining body temperature
- Pale skin, especially the pink lining to your lower eyelids, under your fingernails, or your gums
- Decreased immune function
- Glossitis (an inflamed tongue)
- Unusual cravings for substances like ice, dirt, etc. (called pica)
Iron-deficiency anemia is usually treated by increasing iron intake through dietary sources and iron supplementation.
Iron Toxicity
At high levels, iron is toxic. And since the body has no effective means of excreting excess iron, it is possible, although not very common, for iron to accumulate. Iron pills and supplements containing iron that are designed for adults can cause poisoning in children.
Symptoms of iron toxicity include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea (with or without blood)
- Fever
- Exhaustion
Major Food Sources
Food Sources of Mostly Heme Iron
Food Sources of Nonheme Iron
Other Health Implications Related to Iron
People with the genetic disease hemochromatosis absorb excessive amounts of iron. This leads to a buildup of iron in the bloodstream and in certain organs, including the liver, muscles, pancreas, and heart. Signs and symptoms of disease usually do not appear until midlife. People of Northern European descent and men are at higher risk. Without treatment, high levels of iron can damage these organs. Treatment involves eating a diet low in iron and donating blood regularly.
Heart Disease and Cancer
Some research has suggested that excess levels of iron in the body may lead to an increased risk for heart disease or cancer. These effects may be due to how the body metabolizes iron, as opposed to how much iron is in the diet. However, the research in these areas is still inconclusive.
Tips for Increasing Your Iron Intake
The amount of iron your body absorbs varies depending on several factors. For example, your body will absorb more iron from foods when your iron stores are low and will absorb less when stores are sufficient.
In addition, certain dietary factors affect absorption:
- Heme iron is absorbed more efficiently than nonheme iron.
- Heme iron enhances the absorption of nonheme iron.
- Vitamin C enhances the absorption of nonheme iron.
Some substances decrease the absorption of nonheme iron:
- Oxalic acid, found in spinach and chocolate (However, oxalic acid is broken down with cooking.)
- Phytic acid, found in wheat bran and beans (legumes)
- Tannins, found in tea
- Polyphenols, found in coffee
Note: Consuming heme iron and/or vitamin C with nonheme can help compensate for these decreases.
To increase your intake and absorption of dietary iron, try the following:
- Combine heme and nonheme sources of iron.
Eat foods rich in vitamin C with nonheme iron sources. Good sources of vitamin C include:
- Bell peppers
- Papayas
- Oranges and orange juice
- Broccoli
- Strawberries
- Grapefruit
- Cantaloupe
- Tomatoes and tomato juice
- Potatoes
- Cabbage
- Spinach and collard greens
- If you drink coffee or tea, do so between meals rather than with a meal.
- Cook acidic foods in cast iron pots. This can increase iron content up to 30 times.
