With coming Holidays Season there is a special field of creativity to try. Crafts and decorations will make you feel warm and cozy at home. Intarsia is an exciting woodworking technique which is easy to obtain and accomplish as a hobby and artwork. Having done intarsia myself, I can readily appreciate the massive talent and artistry of Kathy Wise, Garnet Hall, Judy Gale Roberts and other artists who mastered their creativity and shared their ideas in wonderful woodworking workshops and patterns. Their creative designs are bringing intarsia to a new level of art, way beyond the craft stage.I would and will recommend it to any beginners or woodworkers that want to improve their skill at Intarsia.<br />
Intarsia is a woodworking technique that uses varied shapes, sizes and species of wood that are fitted together to create a 3-dimensional, mosaic-like picture. Intarsia is created through the selection of different types of wood, using their natural grain pattern and color (but can involve the use of stains and dyes) to create variations in the pattern. After selecting the specific woods to be used within the pattern, each piece of wood is then individually cut, shaped, and sanded. Sometimes, additional pieces of plywood are used to raise areas of the pattern to create more depth. Once the individual pieces are finished, they are fit together like a jig-saw puzzle and glued to a piece of wood backing ( birch, plywood). The backing is then cut to the outline shape of the final product. Once the glue holding the individual pieces of wood on the backing is set, a final layer of finish is applied to complete the project. <br />
With creative intarsia technique you will learn how to cut and shape small pieces of various woods to form images. Show your appreciation at Thanksgiving by creating these figures from history, or pick the themes of cornucopia, acorns with leaves, corn. It is easy and enjoyable to create abundance for your home and garden with Intarsia patterns. <br />

<a href="http://christiangarden00.blogspot.com/p/healthy-diet-recipes.html" rel="tag" target="_blank" title="healthy diet recipe"><img alt="Halloween Sugar" border="0" height="165" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_A6FOz6F9ijE/TMUCl3nif7I/AAAAAAAAAeA/2EsUPcHESSE/pampkin%5B8%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="SONY DSC " width="244" /></a><br />
Halloween is the crown jewel of holidays when it comes to sugar. Did you know that Americans consumed nearly 25 POUNDS of candy per capita in 2009? Or that the average American consumes about 100 POUNDS of sugar each year? You don't need a doctor or a dentist to tell you that this is a LOT of sugar, or carbohydrates. <br />
When a person following a low carb plan eats a carbohydrate-rich food they can easily gain 1-3 pounds. However, this weight gain can be misleading because it is usually your body replenishing the fluid it lost and not gained fat. This 3 pound fluctuation becomes frustrating for many people and they end up with fluid weight thinking that it must be the half cup of rice they had the night before that caused them to gain that 3 pounds when in fact eating the rice just allowed them to regain some of the fluid they had lost from following a strict low carb plan. The fact is carbohydrates do not affect your weight quite that simply. Excess carbohydrates can strongly stimulate insulin production, which promotes fat deposition and increases appetite. This kind of weight gain will happen gradually, not dramatically overnight. <br />
Just relax, it is nothing wrong to eat some candies on Halloween night, but take some precautions against sugar overeating. There are few choices to make: <br />
· Avoid excessive sugar and don't eat it at all <br />
· Eat organic carbohydrates <br />
· Clean your body from excessive toxins you consumed <br />
Halloween magic is that it provides you with the source for body detoxification. Pumpkin seeds are the best natural organic remedy for body detox cleanse. All the best natural nutritional supplements for body detox cleansing include pumpkin seeds. In fact, the most popular and famous Paranil, a liver and colon purifying complex, is based on pumpkin seeds. With a herbal detoxification the digestive system starts functioning in more efficient manner by absorbing more nutrients from the food and rejecting the toxins. The immune system is improved and the entire body system gets benefited from it. Pumpkin seeds contain omega fat acids and a high amount of magnesium which has a calming effect on the brain. The nutritive values of pumpkin seeds is: <br />
· Vitamin A: 70 I.U. <br />
· Vitamin B: <br />
· Thiamine: .24 mg <br />
· Riboflavin: .19 mg. <br />
· Niacin: 2.4 mg. <br />
· Calcium: 51 mg. <br />
· Iron: 11.2 mg. <br />
· Phosphorus: 1,144 mg. <br />
· Fat: 46.7 gm. <br />
· Carbohydrates : 15.0 gm. <br />
· Protein : 29.0 gm. <br />
Kids are the main consumers of the sugar mania on Halloween. Don’t give them a chocolate as a bribe to behave, give them some pumpkin seeds – it will help to calm them down. There is a children's formula of organic purifying Paranil complex.

I have reduced watching and reading world news long time ago. I just couldn’t absorb the amount of paranoia it planted into my feelings and mind. I call it a mental toxin. The pressure of anxiety and fear is unbearable. Whether you feel overloaded by all the information that’s coming at you, or are thrilled by the opportunities it presents, you’ll find you need to keep it in balance. It’s why the news source is very important for a mental health and sanity. Way back in 1883 Mary Baker Eddy wrote:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">“Looking over the newspapers of the day, one naturally reflects that it is dangerous to live, so loaded with disease seems the very air. These descriptions carry fears to many minds, to be depicted in some future time upon the body.” </span><br />

She was a founder of the Christian Science Monitor, that has a 100 year old charter stating that NO editorial control can be exercised by the owners. This Magazine has writers based in many countries, including Russia, China, France, the UK, South Africa, Mexico, India, as well as throughout the US. Their journalists write the stories that give the greater insight into the world, how other people think about things and see issues, one is not likely to find in other newspapers. The Magazine has an international perspective from Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Global Issues. It is always nice to know what’s going on in Spain airport, when you book a vacation, Why Angry Birds has invaded Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, Signs of a biotech backlash. There are unbiased, well- written, diverse articles. The information is delivered in a slight different approach compare to other newspapers.<br />

Purifying thoughts instead of toxic programming and structuring - what a wonderful concept of a founder, Lady Mary Baker Eddy!

While some people experience allergic reactions, such as skin irritation and breathing problems from cedar dust, the wood actually doesn’t require any finishing. It doesn’t take preservatives well, which is good. It means less chemicals will be around the house and less toxicants will influence the family. My friend shared his woodworking project<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Why cedar is so popular for building garden sheds and decks.</span></strong><br />
<br />
My shed is almost done.<a href="http://christiangarden00.blogspot.com/p/woodworking-projects-for-home.html" rel="tag" title="woodworking"><img align="left" alt="outdoor-storage-shed1" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_A6FOz6F9ijE/TJrETFEF9nI/AAAAAAAAAbA/iJRGR3yRyU4/outdoor-storage-shed1%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="outdoor-storage-shed1" width="244" /></a> We sheathed the structure of our garden shed with 1 x 6 tongue-and-groove cedar siding, which is naturally resistant to rot and insects. I plan to build a cedar deck next summer to match my backyard design with the shed. We built our combination shed on a 4-in.-thick concrete slab, which makes an extremely durable and weatherproof floor. Some people construct a wood-frame floor using pressure-treated 2 x 6 lumber and a plywood deck, and support the assembly on solid concrete blocks or pressure-treated 6 x 6 skids. Plywood is an option and I decided not to go with that. I like cedar wood. Probably for being quite weak, it may be thought unsuitable for the small sections of shed design, but I prefer the durability of straight grain instead of fragile plywood for outdoor woodworking projects. Cedar wood is still kind of economical lumber available.<br />
If you go with the slab, it's a good idea to hire an excavator and mason to have the job done right. I called <a href="http://internet4woodworkers.com/magazines_reviews.html" rel="tag" target="_blank" title="woodworking magazines">Angie List</a> and got a good deal from local construction.<br />
There is a basic detail wood plan to follow, what I had in my I Phone and always could look at it. I could increase it and see every detail, which is cool. I find digital woodworking to be a fun . Google Sketch is complicated for me. There are <a href="http://internet4woodworkers.com/software.html">3D Home Design Software</a> what I plan to learn for my deck project next summer. I will use the same cedar wood, because it has a straight grain. It means that it is easy to use with limited risk of splintering. It is lightweight too. It seasons best when milled into thin boards and very stable once dry. Working with cedar was easy: it splits, glues, nails and screws well. Some woodworkers notice cedar wood can corrode metals. I am fully satisfied with my choice and I think it will fit good for my deck too, as it hardly needs any finishing being naturally durable. <br />

A balanced brunch on Sundays is something that I allow myself to enjoy. It takes a little longer to cook, but provides all the nutrients needed for the rest of the day. I use wild rice as an ingredient, since it contains carbohydrates and fiber while eggs and bacon add flavor and protein to the recipe. <br />
Ingredients: <br />
<ul><li>3 eggs </li>
<li>Few slices of bacon </li>
<li>1 cup of wild rice </li>
<li>2 cups of water </li>
<li>3 tbs shredded cheese </li>
<li>1 tbs chopped dill and parsley </li>
<li>1/8 tbs of salt </li>
</ul>Cookware: <br />
<ul><li>Non-stick skillet with a top </li>
<li>Glass bowl for mixing eggs </li>
<li>Pan for cooking rice </li>
<li>Whisk </li>
<li>Paper towel </li>
<li>Spatula </li>
</ul><span style="color: red;"> <strong>Step 1.</strong></span> <br />
Start with wild rice. Wash 1 cup of wild rice and drain. Heat rice and water to boiling. Reduce heat and cover. It will take from 40 to 50 minutes until some kernels will be open and the rice will absorb the water. <br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Step 2.</strong></span> <br />
While rice is cooking, fry few bacon slices on medium-low heat for the crispy condition of your taste, turning often. Drain the fat and wipe the skillet with a paper towel. <br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Step 3. </strong></span>Grate your cheese, chop parsley and dill and prepare it all for the next step. Cooking the omelet requires only 3 minutes, and all ingredients must be ready. <br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Step 4.</strong></span> <br />
Turn your stove on medium and let the skillet heat for 1min. At the same time break 3 eggs and place them in your glass bowl, whisk them until combined but not too frothy. <br />
<strong><em><u><span style="color: red;">Tip:</span></u></em></strong> I mentally count to 80. <br />
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and without moving the skillet, allow the eggs to set on the bottom. Mentally count to 20, then take a spatula and stir the egg mixture, allowing the uncooked eggs on top to flow underneath and make direct contact with the skillet. <br />
<a href="http://christiangarden00.blogspot.com/p/healthy-diet-recipes.html" rel="tag" title="recipe"><img alt="Image0252" border="0" height="244" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_A6FOz6F9ijE/TJVwqdv5wJI/AAAAAAAAAa4/sSfP-7KzRBA/Image0252%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="Image0252" width="184" /></a> <br />
Spread the cheese, dill and parsley over the top of eggs and smooth the surface <br />
very fast. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet with a top and cook it for 2 min. <br />
<span style="color: red;"><em><strong><u>Tip</u></strong></em>:</span> Set a timer to 2 min and avoid lifting the cover of the skillet. I know you are curious, but let it be! <br />
<a href="http://christiangarden00.blogspot.com/p/healthy-diet-recipes.html" rel="tag" title="recipe"><img alt="Image0260" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_A6FOz6F9ijE/TJVwqpxE6rI/AAAAAAAAAa8/ICr9YNpsj8Y/Image0260%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="Image0260" width="244" /></a> <br />
After 2 min. remove the skillet from the heat, shake it and slide the omelet onto a warm plate. Fold the omelet in half while you are sliding it. <br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Step 5.</span></strong> <br />
Check your wild rice consistency, it should be tender enough to chew. Combine wild rice, omelet and bacon on a plate. Add salt to taste and serve it. <br />
For those who prefer low-fat diet or have a <a href="http://christiangarden00.blogspot.com/p/healthy-diet-recipes.html" rel="tag" target="_blank" title="recipe">weight problem</a> I recommend to exclude a bacon and replace it with few drops of olive oil. The flavor of extra virgin olive oil goes further, so you’ll use less. Wild rice fits perfectly even with a low- carb diet. <br />

They choose to make their own organic flowers arrangements. Good-quality fresh flowers are the key to longer lasting arrangements and there are some tricks how to amplify the life of cut organic flowers. As a general rule, flowers should be cut across the stem diagonally and immersed in deep water overnight before being used in an arrangement.<br />
It is a big undertaking to prepare flowers arrangements and the saying " many hands make light work" can certainly be true. For few months we were practicing and looking for new ideas of decorating property for guests. The simplest way I found was with beautiful sun-flowers, and u-tube video below.<br />
All what you need is flowers, florist wire, florist tape, 1 block of florist foam.<br />

Whether you enjoy the quiet peace of blooming meadow or decide to bring it to your home, it is always a special occasion, a call from your soul for harmony to share. <br />
The beautiful Lupine gets its name from the Latin word <em>lupus</em> for “ wolf” and was once mistakenly thought to take nutrients from the soil. The sun loving lupine tends to sprout in recently cleared areas - such as under electrical power lines or along roadsides- and thrives in either acid- or alkaline-rich soils as long as there is adequate sun. No matter what somebody thought, the lavender, pink, white or rose flowers create magnificent eye catching landscape of their own world of beauty and harmony. Actually these “legumes”, through their roots, enrich the soil. It is what the latest scientific researches have discovered. The flowers were saving the soil!<br />

<span id="goog_301487471"></span><span id="goog_301487472"></span>Woodworking in a Bible is mentioned many times. In fact, it refers directly to Jesus Christ, who was called a Carpenter:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Mark 6:3</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him.”</span><br />
<br />
The second time The Lord Jesus Christ was called as a son of the Carpenter:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Matthew 13:55</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">"Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?"</span><br />
<ul><li>What is so special in working with a wood? </li>
<li>Why this kind of occupation is attached to God?</li>
</ul>Woodworking had an important place in Jesus' life. By any means, any speculations about "right" interpretation and translation are pointless. <br />
<ul><li>What carpenters do? </li>
</ul>They fix broken things and they create new ones. They work with special material and they use special tools. Their special material is living wood. After the tree is cut, the wood still lives. <br />
The wood has qualities and potentials.<br />
A carpenter focuses on it’s potentials and uncovers it’s qualities. <br />
There is a deep spiritual meaning in woodworking: seeing a potential in every situation, no matter what happens. It is very natural for a human mind to focus on something what is going “wrong”. But there is a bigger picture.<br />
I absolutely adore one gorgeous metaphor in Tommy Tenney book <br />

One can fully identify with this poor branch that only wanted to grow up and produce almonds, and has instead been cut off, dried, and stripped of its bark. From another prospective, there was a bigger picture for the almond stick! Aaron's staff ! It’s life became so much more fulfilling than just producing almonds!<br />

<br />
My father having battled skin cancer all year long.I know that the sun is not his friend. But he wanted<br />
to enjoy Jamaican sailing cruise before the cyclone season.<br />
Apparently, sun block alone won't protect you.I was very concern and picky for his gift for Father's Day. Finally I ordered him organic Tilley Hat.<br />
This hat, in addition to sun block, should help it from recurring, I hope. He called me today and was sound very happy. He called it "My Tily" and said he doesn't have to look for his lost glasses anymore. He keeps<br />
them in a pocket of his hat. He likes it so much he even wears it just sitting around the hotel.<br />
What he loves about this hat, and the whole Tilley line, is that it's not a beach hat, like so many we see out there. This is a hat that you feel you can go anywhere in. Being made out of 100 % organic cotton,<br />
it's breathable, washable, and offers full protection.<br />
I am so glad he is happy!<br />

This combination gives the salad unique sweet-bitter flavor and excellent as side dish for shrimps or salmon.<br />
Makes about 5 cups <br />
Ingredients:<br />
- 1 pound green cabbage, finely shredded<br />
- Salt and freshly ground pepper<br />
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped<br />
- 1 tbs Agave nectar<br />
- 2 tbs apple cider vinegar<br />
- 2 tablespoons olive oil<br />
- 1 tbs mustard flour mix with 1 tbs lemon juice<br />
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon leaves<br />
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces<br />
- 1 medium head fennel, thinly slices (about 2 1/2 cups) <br />
1. Toss cabbage and 1 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a medium bowl. Let stand until cabbage wilts, 1 to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage under cold running water (or in large bowl of ice water if serving slaw immediately). Press, but do not squeeze, to drain; pat dry with paper towels. Cabbage can be stored in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerated overnight. I let it stay longer for better taste.<br />
2. Stir together onion, agave, vinegar, oil, prepared mustard, and tarragon in a medium bowl; set dressing aside. Immediately toss cabbage, apple, and fennel in dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.<br />

Breaking stress eating is not easy. Sometimes it is not appropriate to express the negativity. With an extra bite of sweet or drink we tend to bury our stress and frustration deeper. Literally, we laid the food to rest into our body's cells. Breaking stress eating habits could restore metabolic function of liver, kidneys and other "cleaning" body organs.<br />
As a consequences of stress eating habits, the cells "gain fat" instead of normal working and neutralizing the toxins. With stress eating we deceive ourselves emotionally and physically.<br />
Eating right and being physically active aren't just a "diet" or a "program"—they are keys to a healthy lifestyle.With healthful habits, we may reduce our risk of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain cancers, and increase our chances for a longer life. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans has been published jointly every 5 years since 1980 by the <br />

Their general Guidelines are: <br />

Not so many people know about unique Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky Museum in Alapayevsk.<br />
<br />
The genius Russian Composer Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky was born on May 7, 1840, in Votkinsk in the Vyatka district of Russia. In May 1849 his father Ilia Tchaikovsky had received a work assignment as a manager of ferrous metallurgy railway station in Alapayevsk, one of the oldest centers of industry, with the first factory built in 1704. Tchaikovsky's family was living in Alapayevsk from May 1849 until September 1852. During that time future composer studied piano and had intensive home training for his career. His youngest brothers, twins Anatolii and Modest, were born in Alapayevsk on May 1850. The composer himself left the town in August 1850, at the age of ten, when he was enrolled at the preparatory class of the Imperial School of Jurisprudence in Saint Petersburg.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1965 a commemorative Museum was established at the site of the Tchaikovsky's family home at Alapayevsk. It was organized and supported by few enthusiastic music teachers and had absolutely unique collection of antic music instruments,furniture, scripts and documents from private<br />
archives and public donations. It contains exclusive historical evidences about Tchaikovsky's life<br />
and unique micro-model exhibits of Tchaikovsky's residence in Alapayevsk. All rooms are designed in middle 19th century style according to historic pictures and culture of that time.<br />
<br />
The Tchaikovsky's Museum in Alapayevsk is one of a kind, and it deserves to be known. <br />
In the Honor of Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky, the greatest composer<br />
in the world, in regard with his Anniversary Year, 2010. <br />

Red imported fire ants could be a real problem for home and garden.<br />
Their invasion occurs when they “escape” from confined<br />
areas. Sometimes an introduced plant or animal finding<br />
itself in this situation will be aggressive or voracious, or<br />
will carry parasites or disease, any of which can devastate an<br />
ecosystem. People may experiment with organic composting at home, or dump no-longer-wanted pet fish or aquarium plants into a nearby pond or river, or discard yard waste or garden clippings in a nearby park.<br />
<ul><li>The red imported fire ant species become invasive and do succeed, because the new ecosystems in which they find themselves offer favorable environmental conditions and lack the natural predators, competitors, and diseases that would normally keep their populations in check.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Invasive fire ants have not been officially culpable for any extinctions, but they are known to attack several threatened species,such as deer fawns, quail, ground-nesting waterfowl chicks, and reptiles.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Red imported fire ants occasionally cause human deaths, usually those of small children who crawl into mounds and receive multiple ant stings.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Red imported fire ants have also been problematic to humans during the harvesting of certain crops like pecans.</li>
</ul><br />
In the control of red imported fire ant infestations, there are primarily two types of weapons: bait formulated insecticides and contact insecticides.<br />
<br />
There are now a number of "organic", or less harmful and eco friendly, alternatives for fire ant control around the home and garden. <br />
<ul><li>Spinosad is considered organic because it is produced from a bacterial fermentation process that produces a toxin, which is extracted and put into bait at very low concentrations. It works by disrupting the ant's nervous system. The spinosad baits (Justice, Eliminator Fire Ant Bait, Strike, Maxide, or Penn-Kill Fire Ant Killer) works well in small areas, or as an individual mound treatment. </li>
</ul><ul><li>Abamectin baits (PT 370 Ascend Fire Ant Stopper Bait and Raid Fire Ant Killer), control fire ants and related ants. It is a natural fermentation product produced by a soil microorganism, Streptomycetes avermitilis, an actinomycete. </li>
</ul><ul><li>There is also a contact dust containing pyrethrin and diatomaceous earth (Organic Solutions- Multipurpose Fire Ant Killer) that can be used as an individual mound treatment. </li>
</ul><div class="article_text"><br />
</div> There are loads of choices available to use for battling fire ants around the home and garden. Although some are better than others, all have been proven to help reduce fire ant problems.<br />

<div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The first step: If you decided go organic, choose to buy Certified Organic Seeds.</b></span></div><br />
<br />
Certified Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals and fertilisers. It is an innovative method of farming and production and is increasingly being recognised as being on the leading edge of food and fibre technology into the future. Organics is not just chemical free by testing. It is about the way the product ingredients have been grown, prepared, processed and packaged. The whole system is linked: soil- plants-people-environment.<br />
<br />
Standards to achieve certification are internationally recognised and are assured through annual audits of all certified operators by an independent third party auditor:<br />
In United States - USDA (US Department of Agriculture).<br />
