The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Not just...salmon again
I have come to have the feeling of ..oh salmon again...just because dh goes to Alaska a lot of years so we usually have half a freezer full of salmon and halibut. I can't get wild about halibut tho I believe with its large chunks it could be a good substitute for crab. However since we are in crab territory, crab tends to be cheaper.
But salmon. I have come to love these salmon cakes because they can be varied so many ways. Fishburgers sounds so very bland but it might be the word to use if you are cooking for the male of the species, or the short people.
Skinning the salmon is not as hard as you might think. A sharp knife run along the edge of the skin...and it cuts off very easily.
In these photos I made the recipe as stated originally. I then decided that I wanted all the flavorings IN the food processor before I put the salmon in to chop.
Just a panfry tho I have also done them on a heavily greased griddle.
Marilyn's Fresh Salmon Cakes
2 cloves garlic; minced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 dashes Tabasco (or 1 teaspoon Old Bay)
1 egg yolk (or egg white)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (see notes)
2 tablespoons real mayonnaise (I use greek yoghurt)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (less if table salt)
fresh ground pepper to taste
2/3 cup coarse white bread crumbs ( I use brown or white crumbs)
1 pound fresh salmon
1/2 cup Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)(I often skip this step.)
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
In a small bowl, combine garlic, onion, Tabasco, egg, parsley, mayonnaise, salt and pepper; set aside. (I usually just pulse the garlic and onion IN a food processor, add the herbs, dry or fresh, and pulse again, and then the egg, salt and pepper.)
Remove skin and bones from salmon and cut into small cubes (about 1/2-inch). (I add the salmon to the mix in the food processor and pulse a few times to get a flavored mince.) Place mixture in a medium bowl and gently stir in bread crumbs. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before shaping into 4 patties. ( I find I can shape w/o refrigeration.)
Carefully coat the outside of each patty with Panko crumbs. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot and add salmon cakes. Fry the cakes until brown, about 4 minutes on each side turning only once. Serve with lemon wedges or your favorite tarter sauce.
Asian...add cilantro for parsley, fresh ginger to taste, and two blurps of SiRacha sauce
Today I made these with dried dill instead of parsley. I think you can add a bit of whatever seasoning you like and consider salmon the new chicken in terms of adaptability to flavors.
Let me know what you think, and how you fixed your salmon cakes.

Very nice... another recipe for me to try. LOVE salmon so these will do just fine.
I have 2 Q's for you - what is that divine zucchini dish you've served on the side? (yum)
And, what do you think about grainy (wholemeal) breadcrumbs instead of the Panko for the outside? Would that work?
- July 25, 2008 at 7:46 AM
- Maureen said...
I'll answer here first. The zucchini is just z and largely chopped tomatoes sauted with garlic/evoo. Once they brown a bit I cover the pan and let them steam down, then take the lid off to let the juices caramelize a bit more. Tres simple.
I started to add a note for you about the brown bread crumbs for the outside and they would be fine. Panko is a big deal in the US these days because it crisps so well. One other way Panko is used, and I'm sure it would work well with the grainy bread you love, is to add some (more for you) finely chopped nuts. That is the fave method used in restaurants..pistachios, almonds etc.

Wasn't too sure who to trust with A/C service but when your home is 90 degrees you're about speed and accuracy in fixing it. I wasn't paying the overtime though for a 5:30 call so Ed got my business based on his same price 24/7 policy alone. Ed came earlier than anticipated...in fact he was outside my home when I arrived which was a surprise but under the circumstances was great. Was happy to let me look over his shoulder to learn the ins and outs of my 30+ year old unit and within a few minutes found the problem and resolved it. After he left though the condenser shut off and warm air was blowing through the house, but a quick change of the fuses resolved that while Ed was on the phone. with me. 3 hours later....cold air is still flowing.

Ecclestone admits bribe affair affecting F1 role
Bernie Ecclestone has hinted for the first time that he may need to voluntarily step back from running formula one. Until now, the F1 chief executive has been resolute in the face of the bribery affair, insisting the sport's owners CVC support him unless he is found criminally guilty in a forthcoming trial. "We don't have any changes planned at the moment," a CVC source told F1 business journalist Christian Sylt, writing in the Guardian. "The board constantly reviews facts and circumstances and the current position is that no changes are planned." But now, Ecclestone has been quoted as suggesting the affair is actually limiting his ability to run formula one effectively....

In summer weather, you and I,
The wind and sun were in your hair,--
Gold hair against a sapphire sky:
When Autumn came, with leaves that fly
Before the storm, across the plain,
You fled from me, with scarce a sigh--
My Love returns no more again!
The windy lights of Autumn flare:
I watch the moonlit sails go by;
I marvel how men toil and fare,
The weary business that they ply!
Their voyaging is vanity,
And fairy gold is all their gain,
And all the winds of winter cry,
"My Love returns no more again!"
Here, in my castle of Despair,
I sit alone with memory;
The wind-fed wolf has left his lair,
To keep the outcast company.
The brooding owl he hoots hard by,
The hare shall kindle on thy hearth-stane,
The Rhymer's soothest prophecy,--*
My Love returns no more again!
Lady, my home until I die
Is here, where youth and hope were slain:
They flit, the ghosts of our July,
My Love returns no more again!
*Thomas of Ercildoune.

With the most absolute respect I'd like to ask what happened to Peewee. I've got friends that were really close to him and I've heard that he passed but I'm not sure what happened. I really feel uncomfortable asking them because they are already so upset as it is. It really is a shame whatever happened. And my thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by this tragedy. There have been a few about the same age pass very recently and it's really hard to see people go so young. Love and prayers to all.

check knoxnews.com for his obituary. so sad to lose young , so sad.my kids knew peewee. my prayers go out to his family and to andys. pray for andy to pull thru!

#5 Sep 23, 2011
What the hell are you talking about? Have some respect..
Rest in peace Peewee.. You will be missed.
#6 Sep 23, 2011
Thank you for the information. Still praying for all the lost lives in the last few days and his is no exception.
Also, have some respect for the dead. There is a special place in hell for people that bash the memory of those who can no longer defend themselves.
#7 Sep 23, 2011
Just letting everyone know that I DID NOT make this comment.I know who did and they put my name to it.It is 10:54 p.m. and this is the first I've been on here all day.I have been babysitting my granddaughter today and there is no computer there.My daughter went to school with PeeWee,they were in Welding Class together and she talked about what a nice person he was.I just think it's a shame when young people die as a result of drinking and driving,even though he wasn't driving.And I would NEVER make a comment like that about someone dying-even if it were my worst enemyIt's just someone( and I know who it is) trying to cause trouble.And I have been praying for his family and the guy who was driving.I read that he was hurt pretty bad.So,just take this to heart-I DID NOT MAKE THAT COMMENT!!
#8 Sep 24, 2011
The real person who wrote the comment needs to ask there self: what if this happened to my son or brother or even close friend. I'm sure it wouldn't be nasty then. We all need to remember death is something that is coming to all of us, and it's not good to post bad comments. Have respect for his family.
#9 Dec 16, 2011
You're an awful person.
#10 Dec 16, 2011
Kinda messed up how Andy got away with drinking & driving AND vehicular homicide. He'll pay for it else where!
#11 Dec 16, 2011
I agree. I miss him so much. :(
#12 Dec 17, 2011
It just pissed me off that the love of andys life died from drinking and driving and here is out doing what killed her. RIP Min and Peewee.
#13 Jan 3, 2012
And he's back out doing it again. When will he ever learn?:( I hope he doesn't hurt anyone else.
#14 Jan 4, 2012
I just hope for everyones sake that he learns from this one. If Andy doesn't straighten up and fly right, he might be next. I really hope he can grow up. Along with all the young ones that find it appropriate to drink and drive, or just drink for that matter. Being 21 makes you legal to drink, but you need to be more responsible and aware before you do it. It's not all fun and games, people get hurt, and even die obviously.

That was a terrible thing to say, Denise. I did not even know you knew him. It is very sad. I hate to see someone lose their life before it even gets started. Wherever you are right now, I hope you are ashamed of yourself. I know you had a lot of things going on in your life at that time, but still that is no excuse for saying something like that. I am embarrassed for even reading something like that. Just remember, God will judge you, Denise!!!!!
#16 Jan 27, 2012
U all need to quit runnin ur mouth on here about people... Andy is a great guy and would give u his shirt off his back if u needed it but u get on here and bash him, and to talk about god well u all are going to hell for this and I hope u burn... you all need to mind ur own business and keep ur f***in mouths shut...
#17 Jan 29, 2012
Well,coward( I know this has to either be Samantha,Trey Gann or Samantha's Mom),God will judge YOU for lying.I NEVER made that comment about PeeWee.I was nowhere near a computer at the time that comment was posted.I am sorry that he was killed,and it's a shame that just because for some reason you don't like me,that you have put posts on here using my name.Besides,how do you know what kind of things I had going on in my life at that time?I would still never allow those things to make me be hateful and hurtful to someone,especially a young person,who lost their life that way.Maybe you need a job to have something more constructive to do than this.I think YOU should be ashamed-
#18 Jan 30, 2012
Well,in case anyone is curious-Tomatoes is Samantha Gann.I figured it was either her,her old man(and I use the word man loosely),or her Mom.But,through certain persons who know how to find someones IP address and trace it to the owner,I guessed right.Too bad you never knew what you were talking about-ever.
#19 Aug 22, 2012
No one was bashing Andy "good friend". I used to be great friends with all of them, until I grew up and they all continued to act like children and never mature. We were simply saying that we hope he learns from this time and we hope he is okay. And ya, It is unbelieveable that he is still out drinking and driving and not behind bars. We were being nice and simply stating facts.

If You Watch This Mariah Carey Video Backward, It's About Wentworth Miller Coming Out
Wentworth Miller, the star of Prison Break, came out today. It was predicted in 2005 when he played Mariah Carey's love interest in the "We Belong Together" music video (if you watch it backward).
1. If you watch Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" music video backward, it's about Wentworth Miller getting out of the car with his fiancé…
2. …and running to a wedding.
3. And it's not even his wedding. It's the wedding of a lonely man who's standing wishing and waiting for a beautiful bride.
4. So Wentworth gives her away.
5. And she's not entirely OK with it, but Wentworth knows it's the right thing to do.
6. Because he's actually a gay man and he doesn't want to marry a woman anyways.
7. And then Mariah Carey's sad she can't have him.
8. The end.
9. Here's the video not backward.

Cirith Ungol reforming to play live shows
The cult tradmetal band Cirith Ungol (not to be confused with the promising Dutch black metal band Cirith Gorgor) is stirring after decades of inactivity. The first sign of this was perhaps the original "Frost and Fire" festival they organized last year; now, they're escalating their own participation by headlining the second one. In addition to Cirith Ungol, the festival will also feature many other traditional metal bands, as well as two other reunions that have yet to be announced. Cirith Ungol's official forum claims that the extremely lengthy period in which tickets are on sale is a result of the original festival selling out despite two months' availability. The resulting festival might be a interesting opportunity for anyone who lives in SoCal.

Healthy living, herbal remedies and DIY natural beauty.
The art and practice of herbalism is passed within communities from teacher to student, parent to child, and friend to friend. Free sharing of this wisdom is what keeps herbalism alive and vibrant.
Herbalists share herbal knowledge to help others maintain wellness, and as teachers they have an extensive scope of influence within their community.
April 17th is Thank an Herbalist Day! This is a special day to reach out and share gratitude with herbalists who have touched your life. This year at the Herbal Academy, we are celebrating the teacher in every herbalist!
Herbalists, whether novice or professional, bring the knowledge of plants into their communities. They teach and empower folks towards wise self-care, sharing information about the wonders of herbs, and often inspire people to begin walking their own path as an herbalist.
Do you have a special herbalist in your life? Someone who has inspired you or helped you in a time of need? Maybe it's a friend, an herbal teacher, or even an author of a beloved herbal tome. Send them a little note of appreciation using one of these free cards, or share a specially crafted herbal gift to express your thanks for what they have taught you and shared with you. A thank you means so much.
It is easy to say "thank you" with these beautiful cards. Download and print this card below or grab one to share a little appreciation online with a favorite herbalist! Find more FREE Thank an Herbalist Day cards here to print and share.
Feel inspired to share a gift of appreciation? Herbalists adore receiving herbs and homemade treats lovingly crafted with plants! Craft up a batch of a personal signature creation or perhaps something that you learned to make from a favorite herbalist. Then enjoy giving your creation to a treasured herbalist in your life. They will love it! If you are looking for suggestions, we have gathered up some easy to make gift ideas to inspire you.
Bringing herbs into the kitchen is a magical way to enjoy tasty plants in everyday cuisine. Culinary treats such as herbal honeys, vinegars, and salts are a pure pleasure to have around and a great way to say thank you!
Springtime is perfect for creating herbal vinegars and honeys from springtime herbs. A beloved herbalist favorite this time of year is honey infused with fragrant violets (Viola odorata).
To make this divine treat, simply fill a clean, dry jar with fresh violet flowers and cover with honey. Place a lid securely on top. Check back on your tasty honey after a couple of hours, add more honey if necessary, and push the flowers down so they stay submerged under the honey.
A butter knife or chop stick is a perfect tool for this. Your honey is ready to eat and enjoy right away or you can let the flowers infuse for a week before gifting.
1. Herbal honeys. Make this tasty sage honey or if you are crafting with children check out this for tips on making herbal honey for kids. Yum!
2. Vinegar infused with tasty herbs is another super easy and tasty treat to make. You can use fresh seasonal spring herbs or whatever appealing herbs you have on hand. Learn more with this helpful guide to making herbal vinegars.
3. Salt infused with the goodness of herbs. These take moments to whip up and add a special touch to any kitchen table. Find lots of recipes and ideas here.
Used topically, herbs bring a little special loving care to body and mind. What better way to show appreciation than to share a jar of salve or an herbal bath sachet? Springtime brings vibrant, yellow dandelions which can be found popping their heads up everywhere. Dandelions make a delightful base for springtime body care and a happy treat to share. Use them to create a batch of dandelion flower soap or salve!
1. To make dandelion flower salve, harvest dandelion flowers from a safe place that has not been sprayed with herbicides. Spread the flowers out to wilt for a day or two. This will remove some of the moisture content from the flowers.
2. Then pack the flowers into a clean, dry jar and cover with olive oil.
3. Place the jar in a pan or crockpot with a couple of inches of water. Heat slowly over low heat for at least 4 hours, making sure the water doesn't boil or completely evaporate.
4. Strain the flowers from the oil.
5. Add the strained oil to a dry, clean pan and then add one ounce of beeswax for every cup of oil. Heat gently until the beeswax is melted and stir to incorporate.
6. Pour into containers and enjoy! Be aware that beeswax is very hard to clean off of pans and knives so it is good to have dedicated equipment set aside for just this purpose.
Follow these links for more information about how to make herbal infused oils and salves.
This lavender infused oil recipe is truly like heaven in a bottle while this warming ginger cayenne salve can help to soothe away aches and pains, and this no-crack day lotion recipe is full of therapeutic essential oils that are very nourishing to dry skin.
Whip up a batch of a special soap to share. Learn how to make your own soap or enjoy making a beautiful springtime violet leaf soap.
Share the gift of an herbal bath with either of these simple bath recipes: soothing oatmeal bath or simple lavender bath salts.
Sometimes, the best gift is found in the simplicity of sharing living plants and seeds. And really what herbalist doesn't love a vibrant, living plant? Perhaps choose an herb to gift that has special significance to your relationship.
Did the herbalist inspire or help you with a particular herb? Plants are also known to have symbolic meanings, such as rosemary for remembrance and sage for wisdom, and a gift of one of these plants can help you express that sentiment.
In celebration of Thank an Herbalist Day, the Herbal Academy is offering a discount of 15% off online herbal courses as well as The Herbarium membership! If you have been considering studying herbalism, this is the perfect time to get started.
Herbal Academy programs offer multiple levels of comprehensive herbal education, ranging from very beginner to the advanced professional level. Set your foundation in the Introductory Herbal Course, explore herbal therapeutics for body systems in greater depth in the Intermediate Herbal Course, prepare for business endeavors in the Entrepreneur Herbal Course, and delve into complex clinical topics in the Advanced Herbal Course. Through the Herbal Academy's training paths, students will gain the knowledge and experience required for careers as professional herbalists, and with additional hands-on training, clinical herbalism.

In the last decades, our knowledge regarding the miracle of creating life has advanced with leaps and bounds. We have learned so much about how the baby grows, the different developmental stages and what is necessary for a healthy baby.
Until quite recently, scientists believed that the uterus was a perfectly sterile environment, where the baby was safe from infections or other detrimental exposures. Natural birth was supposedly the first contact with bacteria and other blessings of the outside world.
There is no doubt that passing through the birth canal seeds the baby with precious beneficial bacteria from the mother, a critical event that research has found to play a major role in the short- and long-term health of the baby. The excellent documentary Microbirth is a testimony to this radical, yet entirely science-based truth.
But now we have gone even further. Studies have found that the uterus is not the perfectly sterile and safe haven that we thought it was. In fact, both the uterus and the placenta (the organs most closely and intimately related to the baby) are now confirmed to harbor their own unique microbial communities, which are decisively different from microbes in other maternal organs, like the vagina or the gut.
The type of bacteria dominating these critical (for the baby and pregnancy) organs seems to influence the risk for pregnancy complications; when potential pathogens are present, there is higher risk for preterm birth and conditions such as preeclampsia.
Therefore, we need to do our best to ensure that the symbiotic bacteria of mothers-to-be are characterized by health-giving, beneficial strains, not pathogenic ones.
Another ground-breaking scientific finding is that the placental and uterine bacteria seem to be more similar to the bacteria of the mouth, despite the considerable physical distance between them. Perhaps, this is why serious gum infection (periodontitis) has been linked to higher risk for labor complications, as have other types of serious infections as well.
These finding do not mean that the gut and vagina are not important for a healthy pregnancy and baby, just that they are not in the front row of interest anymore. It is important to remember that natural birth remains a major event in seeding a baby with beneficial bacteria and that gut and vaginal flora are closely related.
However, the new facts put an unexpected emphasis on the oral hygiene during pregnancy and also provide several ways to help pregnant women enrich their symbiotic bacteria with good guys.
Finally, we have learned that breast milk is yet another source of bacteria for the newborn baby. The mammary gland is an additional, newly found bacterial home that inevitably donates bacteria to breastfed infants.
The mother´s weight and pregnancy weight gain are shown to be important factors affecting the kind of bacteria passed on to the baby. According to a study published in the journal Pediatric Research, the breast milk of mothers with higher Body Mass Index (BMI), usually indicating obesity or overweight, has more potentially pathogenic bacterial strains, such as Staphylococcus, Clostridium, Bacteroides and Akkermansia muciniphila and less beneficial strains, like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus.
All these exciting scientific advances show us that seeding a baby with beneficial bacteria starts from the early stages of pregnancy, is reinforced during natural birth and hopefully with breastfeeding. It is a multi-step process that lasts several months and depends significantly on the mother´s diet and lifestyle.
Unfortunately, this is not a matter of simply taking a probiotic supplement, although this is a necessary step as well. In order to fully support the microbiome of pregnant women and new mothers, a more holistic and careful approach is necessary.
1. Practice good oral hygiene. Because the mouth is a source of bacteria for the uterus and placenta, keeping oral bacteria happy and balanced is essential. Harsh, alcohol-based, flavored mouthwashes or hydrogen peroxide washes may give a refreshing feeling, but at the same time kill indiscriminately good and bad bacteria and irritate mouth tissues.
An excellent natural alternative is oil pulling (using a natural oil as a mouthwash), which supports beneficial mouth bacteria, while being an effective detox method. Organic sesame oil and cold pressed, virgin coconut oil are the best options, because they are loaded with gentle, natural antimicrobials and numerous health-giving substances. Needless to say that keeping teeth clean is also a fundamental part of a good oral hygiene.
2. Increase probiotics. If there is no history of gut dysbiosis, you can take extra shots of beneficial bacteria with naturally fermented foods, such as yogurt, kefir and sauerkraut. The bacteria in these foods and drinks remain temporarily in the gut, encouraging the establishment of healthful microorganisms.
Alternatively, probiotic supplements rich in different Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria species can also enrich the gut and vaginal flora with beneficial bacteria.
3. Limit antibiotics. Prescribed antibiotics inevitably mess up bacterial communities in the whole body, because they kill beneficial bacteria along with the bad. If you have to take antibiotics of any kind, make sure to replenish your good bacteria communities with fermented foods and drinks or by taking probiotic supplements at the same time until a week after the treatment is finished.
4. Pastured meat and dairy products. Unfortunately, the vast majority of animal products that are available come from industrially raised, confined animals, receiving large doses of antibiotic cocktails on a daily basis. Small quantities of these antibiotics are found in all types of animal products and, therefore, eating them can throw most bacterial communities out of balance.
It is much more sustainable, ethical and healthful to consume animal products coming from humanely raised, pastured animals. The products coming from such animals are of premium quality and superior nutritional value, while lacking harmful antibiotics and synthetic hormones.

Here are seven healthful natural supplements and the foods they come in that you might want to consider adding to your daily routine.
1. Choline
Choline promotes health in the nervous system and helps to prevent fatty liver. It increases dopamine production, which provides a host of benefits including an overall decrease in appetite. Choline is found in eggs, chicken and fish.
CDP-choline supplements are an effective way to make sure your body is getting enough choline. Those who have diabetes or struggle with depression should consult a doctor before taking choline supplements.
2. Refined Coconut Oil
Refined coconut oil has a wide range of benefits. It helps maintain a healthy level of cholesterol, fights heart disease and lowers blood pressure. It wards off some of the deadliest diseases, including cancer and diabetes. It strengthens bones and even promotes weight loss.
Coconut oil is especially effective in promoting healthy skin and hair. It is sometimes used as a massage oil and moisturizer. It prevents flaking and can help ward off wrinkles and saggy skin. It is very popular in India because it gives hair a shiny, healthy quality.
3. Blueberries
Blueberries are a great source of fiber and health-promoting compounds. They contain a lot of anthocyanin, which provides a lot of cognitive benefits which are particularly useful for the elderly.
The best thing about blueberries is that they are a naturally-occurring vitamin carrier. You can eat them on their own or drink them in juice form. Consuming less than a cup each day is enough to gain beneficial effects.
4. Iodine
Iodine is a mineral found in fish that helps the body synthesize hormones. Iodine helps maintain a healthy thyroid and reduces general aches and pains in the body. Iodine also improves cognition and balances hormones.
An Iodine deficiency is a bad thing. Low Iodine levels can cause an under-active thyroid, which means that the entire body's metabolism is running sluggish.
Too much iodine can be bad for you, so be sure to follow the recommended daily dose if you are taking it in supplement form.
5. Berberine
Berberine originates from plants and is used in Chinese medicine. It is effective in supplementing diabetes treatments because it promotes blood sugar response. It also helps maintain a healthy cholesterol level.
Berberine is a fantastic supplement for those who are overweight and are dealing with common side effects of obesity and it can be a terrific first step to getting in shape. Be careful when first taking it, as too much berberine can cause an upset stomach. It is generally best to start at a low dose and slowly add more as your body adjusts. Berberine doesn't appear naturally in a lot of foods that people typically eat, but can be found in the European Barberry, the Oregon Grape, and multiple types of roots.
6. Garlic
Garlic is absolutely overloaded with health benefits. It can help maintain blood pressure and cholesterol levels while promoting blood flow and supporting the immune system. Some studies have shown that garlic assists in weight loss by transforming white fat into brown fat.
A study conducted by the University of Maryland Medical Center has shown evidence that garlic fights health disease, the common cold and cancer. It may also help men who have an enlarged prostate.
At least 4 garlic cloves should be taken every day to get the minimum expected benefit. Make sure not to microwave it as that can damage allicin, which is believed to be the compound that makes garlic so healthy in the first place.
Some people prefer to take aged garlic, because it has a less potent scent.
7. Vitamin B
Vitamin B is a nutrient that is essential for the nervous system. It is found in green vegetables, whole grains, milk and meat.
Studies have shown that taking vitamin B for six months or longer will reduce the risk of having a stroke. It also helps to prevent Alzheimer's and other age-related brain effects. Vitamin B keeps bones strong, reduces the risk of cataracts, boosts energy and can help fight depression as it aids in the formation of serotonin.

Create an herbal pillow to encourage restful sleep and sweet dreams; your own do-it-yourself natural sleep aid! This practice dates back centuries and is a lovely way to enjoy the time-honored sleep and dream inducing power of herbs. They also make charming gifts!
An herbal pillow is easily made from fabric cut into small squares or rectangles. Once finished, it is tucked inside or under your bed pillow so that you can enjoy the dreamy/sleepy fragrance.
Most instructions for creating herbal pillows involve sewing a single pillow case to be filled with an herbal blend. This works well, however, once the herbs lose their scent the pillow can't easily be refreshed.
Another option is to make an inner muslin bag to fill with herbs. One side is loosely basted closed so that it can easily be opened, refilled with fresh herbs, and re-basted shut as needed. If you have the sewing skills, consider sewing a zipper or velcro strips on one side. A more refined, outer pillow case is then created (similar to a bed pillow) to encase the inner muslin, herb-filled bag.
Consider repurposing vintage pillowcases, lady's hankies, scarves, leftover fabric, retired clothing, etc. Natural fabrics such as cotton or silk work well; the herbal scents need to breathe through. Consider purchasing organic muslin or other organic fabrics. My favorite source is Organic Cotton Plus.
Cut a double layer of fabric into the size/shape you desire. Pin the right sides of the fabric together and then sew along the edges of three sides.Turn right side out and fill well until stuffed with your preferred herbal blend; cotton batting can also be added. Baste the last edge closed.
You need to basically repeat what you did in the step above. However, you will be leaving one side open, like a bed pillow. You need to hem the fabric edges of the side that will be left open so it is finished off. This should be done before you sew the other three sides together. The finished dimensions of this outer pillow case should be the same as the inner muslin bag or just slightly larger.

Our bodies drink through our skin, as well as from the food and water we eat. I heard this at a presentation on skin care and suddenly felt very thirsty, craving to hydrate my skin. I wanted to feed my body real food and water, inside and out. Being a farmer and a homesteader, I already feed the inside of my body real food. Now I wanted to feed the outside of my body real food, too. I love to make things from scratch, so I set out to find a delicious skin care recipe to create.
I'm a hard sell on skin products. I have sensitive skin that is best left alone. I don't like commercial skincare products or perfumes or preservatives or just about anything on the market. With a bit of resignation, I usually just skip the skin care. But suddenly I craved hydration like a dried out prune. Anticipating the dry air that would fill my house from winter's wood stove heat, I became determined to have lovely well-nourished skin.
It took me a couple months to research recipes, collect ingredients, and make time to create my own homemade skin cleanser and cream. I selected Rosemary Gladstar's Cleansing Miracle Grains and Rosemary's Perfect Face Cream, from her book Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health. These recipes are made from real ingredients.
Miracle Grains. For the grains, I used lavender from my herb garden, as well as oatmeal, almonds, and poppy seeds from my kitchen cabinets. And white cosmetic clay and roses. If you grow flowers without spraying, you can harvest and dry whole rose buds to use.
Grind all the ingredients of the Miracle Grains, ideally in a small coffee grinder. Store the gritty Grains in a jar. For application, mix a tablespoon of dry grains in a little jar with distilled water and/or rose water until it is a paste. It lasts for a few days. You can use tap water, but it will not keep long, it will mold, so make this by the teaspoon for only one or two applications.
"Face Mayo." Rosemary's Perfect Face Cream is an emulsified blend of waters like rose water, distilled water and aloe with oils like coconut, almond, lanolin and a touch of beeswax. You can personalize your blends. I call the skin cream "Face Mayo" because it is made just like mayonnaise. I found it easy because I am used to making mayonnaise.
Here are some tips: you are blending waters and oils, which don't usually blend well. Keep them about equal in quantity and temperature, at room temperature. You want them to blend, so one should not dominate. Put waters in a blender or food processor. Drizzle the oil into the waters slowly while blending until they are completely emulsified and look like mayonnaise.
Balancing waters and oils makes sense to me, as the goal is to hydrate your skin with waters and moisturize with oils. I keep a small jar in the bathroom and store the rest in the refrigerator. I do not label the refrigerated jar "Face Mayo", for fear that my son will smear some on a sandwich.
I am excited about this new venture, because I am finally taking care of my skin. As a farmer, I am hard on my skin. I like to feel the soil, so I am not protecting my hands as often as I likely should, and my feet are barely slipped into garden clogs. My skin could use some TLC after all that hard work.
The first time I used the grains and moisturizer, my skin was instantly softer and balanced and made me want to start doing promotional videos for Rosemary. I look forward to washing my face in the evening. That makes me chuckle, as I'm really not the kind. It is like a little spa time every evening when I heat up my skin with a warm wash cloth, rub the gentle mask of grains over my skin and wipe it off with the wet wash cloth. Then massage in just a dab of the face mayo. I slather it on after showering and on my feet as often as possible. Life is good, skin is good.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common, chronic disorder that causes inflammation in the linings of the joints. This causes pain, swelling, tenderness, and weakness in the joints. People with rheumatoid arthritis also commonly experience fatigue.
So how can you treat these painful and debilitating symptoms? Try these rheumatoid arthritis natural treatment options.
If you want to treat your rheumatoid arthritis naturally, you'll want to focus on physical activity, mindfulness, and effective supplements.
While you might not feel like it due to pain, fatigue, and stiffness, increasing your physical activity is one of the best things you can do for your symptoms. Exercise can help to improve your quality of life, level of functioning, muscle mass, fitness, energy levels, and mood, for example.[1]
Moving more throughout the day is essential. You might find that using a pedometer or Fitbit to help you track your activity levels and motivate yourself to be more active is helpful.One recent study found that a pedometer-based physical-activity intervention led to increases in physical activity and decreases in fatigue that benefited people with rheumatoid arthritis.[2]
Certain types of exercise can be particularly beneficial for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Try these two gentle, enjoyable activities:
Tai chi can help you sleep better, increase your mood, boost your muscle strength, reduce stress, and benefit your cardiovascular and bone health, too.[3] It can improve physical symptoms (by improving your range of motion and functional capacity while decreasing disease-related disability[3]) and mental symptoms as well (reducing anxiety and depression, improving self-esteem, and providing social support, for example[4]). Sign up for a local Tai chi class to give this gentle, effective mind-body exercise a try.
Yoga is associated with improvements in general health perception, walking ability, pain levels, energy levels, and mood. It can lead to better physical and mental health, improved fitness and function, and higher quality of life in people with rheumatoid arthritis without any associated adverse events.[5]
Mindfulness refers to a state of being where you are intentionally aware of the present moment. This involves paying close attention to the thoughts, sensations, and emotions you are experiencing in any given moment without judgment. People with rheumatoid arthritis who went through an eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction program experienced reduction in things like pain scores, tenderness in the joints, and morning stiffness compared to controls who didn't do the program.[6]
You may consider doing a formal mindfulness-based stress reduction program (search for one in your area or ask your doctor about this type of program), but if that doesn't feel right for you, there are many ways you can practice mindfulness in your daily life. Read our blog, 5 Fun Mindful Exercises to Improve Health and Well Being, for more information on mindfulness and how to simply and enjoyably cultivate mindfulness.
There are many all-natural supplements that can help to treat your rheumatoid arthritis. Try these four to get started:
Fish oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which help to fight inflammation, making it helpful for rheumatoid arthritis treatment. People with rheumatoid arthritis who supplemented with 2.1 g EPA and 1.4 g DHA daily experienced significant reductions in disease activity after nine months.[7] A review study found that people who supplemented with more than 2.7 g of omega 3s per day reduced their need for NSAIDs (over the counter pain relievers) significantly.[8]
Borage seed oil is rich in something called gamma linolenic acid (GLA), which has anti-inflammatory and immune system-modulating qualities. Borage seed oil supplementation (1.8 g of GLA daily for nine months) led to significant reductions in disease activity in one study.[7]
Turmeric is a spice with strong anti-inflammatory capabilities, which can help relieve inflammation in the joints and the pain and tenderness associated with it.[9] Learn more about taking turmeric supplements here.
Boswellia, also known as frankincense, can be an effective rheumatoid arthritis natural treatment. It is also a natural anti-inflammatory herb, which is in large part why it can be effective.[10,11] Typical dosage ranges from 300 to 400 mg three times per day.
You don't have to let rheumatoid arthritis symptoms control your life. Get started finding relief today by increasing your activity levels, practicing mindfulness, and supplementing with natural options like fish oil, borage seed oil, turmeric, or boswellia. By combining these three strategies, you'll be well on your way to feeling better, both physically and mentally.

For the past few days, I've been hearing alarming news on the radio about the Zika virus spreading into the United States.
The virus is spread by mosquitoes, like West Nile and malaria. From what is known so far, the virus does not spread from person to person like a cold, but by a mosquito biting an infected person and then on to another person who contracts the virus.
I hate putting chemicals on my skin, so I use an essential oil spray that has proven to be very effective. In the past couple years in the garden, none of us have been bitten even though my neighbor has a large pool of standing water. Even at a riverside campground in Louisiana, there were no mosquito bites.
• 14 ounces Witch Hazel
• 10 ml (2 tsp) Citronella Essential Oil
• 10 ml (2 tsp) Eucalyptus Essential Oil
• 10 ml (2 tsp) Lemongrass Essential Oil
Mix ingredients together, shake well and pour into spray bottles(s). To store more than a month or two, it is best to keep the spray in a glass bottle or you can halve the recipe.
You'll give the bottle a shake each time you spray. If it's hot and you're perspiring, re-apply every couple of hours.
The essential oils can be found in most health food stores, usually in the 10-ml bottles. (Even Amazon has these oils; just make sure you buy pure, undiluted oils.) If you want to find the oils in larger quantity, there are sources online at New Directions Aromatics, Rainbow Meadow, Bulk Apothecary, and many others.
Never buy essential oils from a pyramid marketing company or from a catalog that lists all the oils at the same price.
Witch hazel can be found in most any drug store, usually in the first aid section, next to the peroxide.
Plastic spray bottles can be found in the personal care section, often near the travel size containers. Pretty glass bottles like ours are available in several catalogs, such as Pinetree Seeds and even on Amazon.
Wanting to learn more about Zika, I Googled and found this quite scary information:
The Zika virus is likely to spread across nearly all of the Americas, the World Health Organization has warned. The infection, which causes symptoms including mild fever, conjunctivitis and headache, has already been found in 21 countries in the Caribbean, North and South America. It has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains and some countries have advised women not to get pregnant. No treatment or vaccine is available. New cases of the Zika virus, which is linked to birth defects, have been confirmed in the UK.

Moment Aboriginal Aussie Rules footballer confronted racist girl, 13, who called him an 'ape' and had her escorted from the stands
An Australian Rules footballer has been praised for his uncompromising reaction after a 13-year-old girl shouted out a racist remark to him during a game on Friday night.
Sydney Swans forward Adam Goodes - who is an Aboriginal Australian - was called an 'ape' by the girl as he ran past her and responded by turning around and pointing out the girl to security who escorted her from the Melbourne stadium.
Goodes, 33, is the star player for the Sydney Swans but said that the racial abuse he received at the hands of the girl rendered his sides win 'meaningless' - such was his disappointment.
Scroll down for video of the incident
Racist: Adam Goodes points to the 13-year-old girl after she shouted 'Ape' at him
'To come to the boundary line and hear a 13 year old girl call me an 'ape', and it's not the first time on a footy field that I've been referred to as a 'monkey' or an 'ape', it was shattering,' he told the ABC.
Goodes and the Sydney Swans were playing Collingwood, at their home of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The 13-year-old girl was a Collingwood fan.
Police in Melbourne said that a 13-year-old girl had been interviewed over the incident, but had been released after two hours pending further inquiries.
In the aftermath of the racial abuse that was directed his way, Goodes told the Melbourne Herald Sun that, 'Racism had a face...and it was a 13-year-old girl. - but it's not her fault,' said Goodes.
Ejected: Security officials took the girl to police after she uttered her remarks
Shamed: The girl leaves her seat and is escorted out of the stadium by security
Adam Goodes of the Sydney Swans speaks to the media during an AFL press conference on May 25, 2013 in Melbourne, Australia - to address the racial abuse sent his way the previous evening
'That's what hurt me so bad...when I turned around, I just saw this young face and...it was just sad.
'That's why I had to leave the arena, it just broke my heart.'
Footie Down Under-style - A quick guide to Australian Rules Football
- Australian Rules Football (AFL) is a physical contact sport that is described as a cross between Rugby which is from the UK and Gaelic football which originated in Ireland.
- Its rules were codified in 1858 - predating soccer, football, rugby and Gaelic football.
- Today it is the must popular sport in Australia - besting even cricket - and is a multi- billion dollar business.
- It is played on an oval field and each team consists of 18 players who each attempt to kick the oval shaped ball through a cofiguration of 4 posts at the corresponding end of the field.
- Each game lasts for 4 quarters of 20 minutes of playing time
- NO player can be sin-binned during a game of Australian Rules Football - this can lead to terrible fights during a game
- Players are banned retrospectively
Early on Saturday morning, Goodes took to his Twitter feed to announce that the girl had been in touch with him, apologizing for her actions.
Speaking to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Goodes explained just how damaging it was for him as an Aboriginal Australian to hear her words.
'I've had fantastic support over the past 24 hours,' Goodes said.
'I just hope that people give the 13 year old girl the same sort of support because she needs it, her family needs it, and the people around them need it,' said Goodes to the ABC.
'It's not a witch-hunt, I don't want people to go after this young girl.
'We've just got to help educate society better so it doesn't happen again.'
Goodes added that the police in Melbourne had asked him if he wanted to press charges, but that he did not want to - preferring the girl instead undergoes an education program instead.
'It's not her fault, she's 13, she's still so innocent, I don't put any blame on her,' he said.
'Unfortunately it's what she hears, in the environment she's grown up in that has made her think that it's OK to call people names.
'I guarantee she has no idea right now how it makes people feel to call them an ape.'
Aftermath: Adam Goodes (right) of the Sydney Swans speaks with AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou
Challenge: Goodes (right) and Marley Williams of Collingwood battle for the ball
Prime Minister Julia Gillard described Goodes as 'someone we can all look up to'.
'His words and actions today displayed the highest levels of respect and fairness - qualities he carries on and off the field,' she said.
'Adam is a credit to his club, his code and the entire community.'
The girl who is not being identified told Channel 10 news she was sorry.
'I didn't mean it in a racist way and I'm sorry to the club and the AFL,' she said.

I am planning a trip to Badlands/Black Hills. On the way back to Chicago from Black Hills, I am wondering if I should stay overnight one night in the Badlands area (maybe Circle View Ranch) so that we can see the tour of the Launch Control Center and see the Badlands at dawn/dusk. I have a 7 and 9 year old. Is there anything for them to do in the area?

Badlands (how much time needed?)
Report Abuse
Badlands NP is fascinating, some of the shorter walks would be suitable for your kids. Some of them have boardwalks, I spent about 4-5 hours on a visit and it was enough, I could easily have stayed longer but that amount of time would be ample for younger kids, download the park brochure from the NP website, that will give you an idea of what is there, they have some great pictures also, depending on timing of your vsit you may be able to take advantage of some of the park programs for kids. If you are there in warm weather make sure you take water bottles. It is very dry. Wall is the closest place to the park, it has some accomodation, and a few places to eat,with little kids I would choose one of the fast food places, after having eaten in a number of places in Wall, all of the fast food places would be better.
Report Abuse
If you are just in the area for one night and wish to see the park at dusk/dawn, you really need to either stay in the park lodging or directly outside in Interior. Interior is less than a mile from the park so you are practically inside it if you stay there.
The missile site is right off I-90 on the highway leading to the eastern entrance of Badlands. So it would make the most sense to drive from the Black Hills to the park entering either at the Wall entrance or the Sage Creek entrance, then drive through the park to your lodging. Stay overnight, then exit via the east entrance and go to the missile site.
I don't have kids so I can't comment on kid-friendly activities. It looked like there was a pool or playground at one of the places in Interior. They can always wander around in the park but in summer, you really need to watch for snakes even at night. There is a little store on the way to the missile site that has a prairie dog town right in their parking lot, you can buy food and feed them.
Report Abuse
We stayed at the Badlands Motel right outside the park. It wasn't glamorous but location, location, location. We felt like we were staying in the park. The scenery is beautiful. I'd say Badlands is a half day attraction in part because it isn't near much else. You should drive the interior road and do a few of the short hikes. My kids loved that prairie dog town.
