How to Clean a Bamboo Wood Floor and Maintain It's Beauty in 3 Easy Steps

Bamboo floors look remarkably beautiful when they're brand new, but without proper maintenance they tend to lose their color and shine. Dull surface and scratches begin to appear and become more noticeable, up to the point that ordinary cleaning does not help anymore. How to clean a bamboo wood floor so you don't reach such troublesome stage?

Felt Pads For Chairs

1. The first step may begin even before you have actually installed your floor and will save you a lot of troubles later on. One big weakness of bamboo floors is direct sunlight and excessive change in humidity throughout the year. Install shades and curtains on windows that are exposed to the Sun's damaging UV rays, unless your bamboo floor has a quality protective layer against those. Install a humidifier in the room to keep the levels of humidity as equal as possible from season to season.

2. Unless you don't mind dealing with refinishing and recoating, you need to protect the surface finish of your bamboo floor. While surface finishes are strong and moisture resistant, they're not impenetrable and would give in to persistent scratching, heavy pressure or too much water. Furniture legs, high heels, heavy appliances are the most common causes for that. Use soft, preferably natural fibers felt pads underneath chairs, tables and other such objects.

As well as placing area rugs on doorways leading to the room to avoid dirt being carried over to the floor, use such rugs next to kitchen sinks and other water operating devices. Clean both the felt pads and rugs often, and dry them out well if necessary. Although high heel boots should be avoided, in case that's not possible, make sure they at least have their protective caps on.

3. Whether you like it or not, as an owner of a bamboo floor you must do regular maintenance on a daily basis by following a strict cleaning routine. Wet moping is a no-no choice and some manufacturers would even void your warranty if you wet clean your bamboo floor surface. The standard is to use a dry mop, soft bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with an appropriate attachment for wood floors. Mop, sweep or vacuum regularly, once a day or more if the floor experiences too much traffic.

Accident can and will occur, so you need to act accordingly and on time to prevent more serious damage. It is a given that any liquid spills should be blotted with a dry clean cloth as soon as possible. If you must use some water to take care of it, make sure to dry the spot afterward. Use the manufacturer's recommended floor cleaner to remove any more serious grime. Some warranties go void if you use a non-recommended product, but if that's not the case with your floor, you can also use a generic wood floor surface finish cleaner for a decent result.

Lastly, if the regular cleaning does not remove scuffs and scratches, or deep stains, you would have to either refinish the floor or replace a board. Refinishing is not as difficult as it sounds and by following the surface finish manufacturer instructions it can be done properly in just a few hours. Replacing boards on floating floors is not difficult, but when you're dealing with a glued floor, it may be best to call a professional.

Drawing boards:

Drawing boards are used from fine artists to architects. It is not for a specific art or design type, but its purpose is to help view your work better when drawing or writing, thus the name drawing board. While working on a flat surface, you have to bend your back or eyes to get a perfect levelled vision of your work. But with a drawing board, you can sit comfortable with your work in a perfect, levelled, straight angled position. This is a necessity for most calligraphers' especially Islamic and western calligraphers. The drawing boards allow you to properly see your letterforms and align your work accurately. The larger the board size the better as this avoids limiting your work size. So look out for A2 or A1 size drawing boards.

The chair:

Your chair, your calligraphy throne, the foundation of your calligraphy workspace, without it what would your calligraphy work be like? I think we all know the answer to that... That's why it's important to choose a chair that will comfort you and offers you excellent back support. Sorry, but sitting on a stool is not the best choice to choose from when buying a seat for your workspace, even if it is the cheapest! Remember high quality things aren't always the cheapest. It just isn't worth all the hassle; the back strains and awkward seating heights. Choose a good chair that will last.

Materials:

The essential materials for your workspace are individually chosen by you, only you know what the best for you is. I and other calligraphers can only advise you on what has worked for us, and what has a high chance of working for you. There are always new calligraphy equipment and materials coming out, but at most times the best tools are the oldest ones out there. They are the classics and will never go out of fashion. The produced and keep on producing the best calligraphy letterforms. So look out and search for the most respected calligraphy equipment and materials out there that other professional's recommend, learn from the experienced and remember you don't have to re-invent the wheel. Here is a list of some of the basic calligraphers tools, used in common calligraphy types: western, Islamic/Arabic and East Asian:

nibs, reserves, fountain pen, sharpening stone, paint brush, coit stone, automatic pens, pen holders, carpenters pencil, permanent markers/ felt tip pens, bamboo pen, reed pens, quills, parchment paper, paper weights, desk pads, ink and ink sacks, ink stone.... And the list goes on and on!

A Rug in the Dining Room?

It's easy to assume that any area where food is consumed should have utilitarian, easy-to-clean flooring. However, an area rug in a dining room is one of the best ways to improve the look of an eating area. Whether the flooring is hardwood or wall to wall carpet, topping the existing floor with an area rug creates a warm and inviting space, in which eating is a pleasure.

Felt Pads For Chairs

Speaking practically, if a dining room has hardwood floors, a rug under the seating area will help protect the wood from the constant movement of dining chairs. Even with felt pads on the chair legs, the finish will become scuffed and eventually break down from the wear. If a dining room has wall to wall carpet, an area rug can help protect that investment from stains and wear as well; it's a great deal easier to replace a rug than to re-finish a hardwood floor or rip up wall-to-wall carpeting.

Felt Pads For Chairs

From an aesthetic view, an area rug is a wonderful way to anchor the seating area. If the dining room furniture is the centerpiece of the room, an area rug can act as a frame that pulls the eye in towards those pieces. Choosing a neutral rug with a border will help feature the dining furniture to best advantage. On the other hand, while a bold pattern can distract from the furnishings themselves, oftentimes, an eye-catching pattern can help give a sense of vitality to the room overall and become an excellent foundation for stunning decorating options.

Regardless of the style and features of the rug, it is essential to measure carefully - this is particularly true in the dining room. It is very important that the rug is large enough to allow each chair to be pulled fully from the table. If a dining area is meant to be a comfortable and welcoming place to gather and eat, the last thing a host or hostess wants is for guests to worry about snagging their chair on the rug! In most cases, a rug should extend at least 18 inches on all sides of the table; so, add three feet to the length and width of a dining room table to find the minimum dimensions of a dining room rug. If the dining table is round, add at least three feet to the diameter of the table.

After determining the minimum area rug size, home decorators may want to consider the maximum preferable size for their space. If a room is blessed with hardwood floors, choosing a smaller rug will allow more of the wood floor to shine. However, if the dining area has wall to wall carpeting, an area rug can be extended almost to the walls, depending on personal preference and the condition of the carpeting. Due to these particular considerations, custom-sized area rugs can be a convenient option when decorating a dining room. It is important that home decorators get what they want in the size they want!

Decorating Quick Tips - Carpet and Rugs

Carpet

Felt Pads For Chairs

Least maintenance and most durable is level loop (often called "Berber"). The loop construction provides 4x the surface of wear, hence it's durability. It doesn't show tracking at all, and now comes in patterns and colors for every taste. Keep your carpet neutral and consistent throughout for greatest flexibility and resale. Use color in rugs, they are personal and move with you, carpet doesn't

High twist cut pile, also known as frieze, is considered trackless. That is it doesn't show vacuum and foot prints as easily as a regular cut pile. Qualities vary.

Velvet plush cut pile while certainly the softest underfoot, shows every mark, foot print, pet paw print, and vacuum tracks. It is very formal in nature and maintenance intensive.

Shag is back! Fun in a contemporary environment, but watch the depth, it isn't rakeable anymore and can still swallow pet turtles.

Rugs

Rugs are appropriate for every room and over wall to wall, not just hardwood. They will anchor a furniture grouping and add interest and softness. They are truly artwork for the floor.

For size, the rule of thumb is that it should have all your furniture on it (such as a 9x12 in a family room) or all your furniture off it, (such as a 6x9 in the same room) the obvious exception being a coffee table or ottoman. Try to avoid the furniture resting half on/half off. Most dining rooms require at least an 8x10 rug to avoid the chairs "falling off."

Smaller rugs make great accents and you aren't paying to cover them up with furniture! Be careful though, substituting a 4x6 for a 6x9 will leave you looking like you have a postage stamp on the floor.

Rugs can also make a significant impact on acoustics in rooms with lots of windows and vaulted ceilings. They can even be changed seasonally for mood shift!

Runners

Runners are an important consideration not just for aesthetics but for safety and acoustics value. On stairs noise often is amplified, a runner will muffle the traffic sounds. In hallways, runners serve to breakup a tunnel like effect with pattern and warmth.

Rug Pads

Be sure to buy the proper pad for your rugs. Pads extend the life of the rug, as well as protecting the floor beneath it.

For hardwood and tile floors you'll want a superloc pad which has a rubberized backing on one side, and a thick jute/felt pad on the other. Do not use the waffle type pads, they can leave marks requiring refinishing on hardwood, and the superloc will even out any tile variance. For vinyl floors, a waffle pad or other slim line pad is acceptable.

On carpet a miracle hold pad or a sticky back pad is recommended. This pad has adhesive on both sides, one to adhere to the carpet, the other to stick to the rug, preventing the age old challenge of creep in the rug, and giving an extra layer of protective backing to prevent any bleed through of colors from rug to carpet.

Stain Guard

Most reputable rug dealers will offer a stain guarding program. Some offer it free of charge with every purchase. Forcefield is the name brand of choice. It doesn't actually prevent stains, no stain guard does, it does give you considerable extra time to clean up, as it provides a protective shield on the surface forcing any spillage to bead up rather than be absorbed.

Rocking Chair Pads - An Easy Guide on How You Can Make Your Own

Have you ever felt uncomfortable sitting on a wooden rocking chair? Here's the perfect comfortable solution you have been looking for. Why not make your own chair pads?

Felt Pads For Chairs

First, you need to decide on what kind of chair pads you would want to make. You can both make a seat cushion or a seat and back cushion that would fit perfectly on your rocking chair.

Felt Pads For Chairs

Start measuring the area that you would want to make a cushion for with a measuring tape. When you have taken note of both the length and width measurements, make sure that you add 3 inches on all sides before you start cutting.

Next, choose a fabric that you would like to make cushions out of. When you're happy with the type of textile you selected, cut it in the measurements that you have already taken.

Start stitch piping about a half inch from the edges of the chair pad covers. Don't forget to leave one side open so that you can turn it inside out after you've sewn the three sides together.

After you have sewn together a bag, you can then start stuffing it with your choice of foam cushion. Once you are happy with the fluffiness that you want, you can then start to close the opening by stitching it together.

Repeat instructions for as many rocking chair pads as you like.

Making your own rocking chair pads is also an excellent way for you to add a bit of decoration to your home. Not only will you have trendy looking cushions, but you'll be also be able to sit comfortably in that rocking chair for as long as you like.

Maintain Your Cork Flooring in TWO Easy Steps

Due to its durable and environment-friendly nature, cork flooring is used in many buildings of importance. One such building is the Library of Congress. It has its entire flooring done in cork and it was done in 1800. This is ample proof of the durability of cork flooring and brings us to the question of its cleaning and maintenance. Though one can argue that this building, being a heritage building, must have a huge number of staff to clean and maintain it till today. But cleaning and maintaining cork flooring is not that difficult. Just follow few easy steps.

Felt Pads For Chairs

1. Preventive Maintenance

Felt Pads For Chairs

i. Using Mats: It is wiser to keep mats near doorways and sinks. As these are the areas of heavy traffic, mats which have free passage of air are the best option to avoid excessive load on the floor.

ii. Usage of Pads: Use felt pads under the legs of chair and sofa or any other furniture. This will help in preventing scuffs and scratches. If you intend to move furniture, it is better to lift the same instead of dragging as this may lead to scratches and might damage the flooring.

iii. Prevent Fading: You can prevent cork flooring from fading by preventing direct sunlight from falling on it. This can be done by using curtains, blinds, drapes or window tints so as to prevent direct sunlight from falling on the cork flooring and thus increasing the life of its color.

iv. Prevent Water Seepage: Water can seep into cork floor from many sources like accidental spilling or through potted plants in the rooms or the house. It is advisable to avoid this. You can keep drip pans to collect water from the pots. Water seepage will reduce the life of cork flooring.

2. Cleaning - Do it Yourself, Easy and Fast.

i. Sweep: Keeping cork floor clean and tidy is very easy. Just sweep using broom or vacuum. This will also reduce scratching on the floor surface and effectively remove dirt and dust.

ii. Wiping: If something gets spilled accidentally, immediately mop it up. This will prevent staining and keep the carpet tidy and good to look at.

iii. Use of Chemicals: To clean heavily soiled areas of the cork flooring, use chemical specially made for this type of flooring. It is better to use organic chemicals and cleaning agents so as to prevent affecting the surface of the floor adversely.

It is very clear that cleaning and maintaining cork flooring is a very simple process and cost effective too without actually any need for a professional carpet cleaning service. The best way to maintain durability of cork flooring is to clean it on daily basis. This will hardly take any time, but the result will be a cork floor that lasts really long. In case you are short on time you can easily hire one of the professional carpet cleaning services in your area for the job.

The Myth of Menstruation

Concurring with my good friend and brother, Rev. Phil Valentine (metaphysician out of New York), the female menstrual cycle is normal, but NOT natural. As the human body has the innate capabilities to adapt to pathologies, irregularities, and abnormalities, the female body (ever since the Great fall nearly 6,000 years ago and which has absolutely nothing to do with a fictitious Biblical character named Eve) has adapted to the pathology of menstruation and now uses this process as a cleansing method to rid the female body of toxins and waste. The female body has taken that which is unnatural (to bleed and lose the vital life essence) and converted that process into a normal female body function. Because of the menstrual cycle, women now have an additional eliminative channel in the vagina, bringing their total to six major eliminative channels (colon, lungs, kidneys, liver, skin, and vagina). It is because of this sixth eliminative channel that rids the female body of unnecessary waste and toxins that women generally outlive men by seven years.

Felt Pads For Chairs

Why is menstruation considered a dis-ease? Because it is not natural in nature or the wild (free). It is rare to find a mammal that lives and eats according to the laws of Nature to have a menstrual cycle. Have you ever witnessed a female horse, gorilla, elephant, buffalo, monkey, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, rhinoceros, or cow having a menstrual discharge? Don't you think corporate and greedy man would have devised feminine pads and tampons for these animals to prevent the spilling and dropping of excessively large amounts of blood? Why of course corporate man would have, just like he did for Western and civilized woman so that she could continuously battle in the war zone called corporate America that was originally designed for white males. Man created pads and tampons for career females so that the menstrual cycle would not interfere with daily business activity. You see, with men, there is no so-called "natural" phenomenon that over takes the male body once a month causing a break in chores and activities. Originally, during the cycle time, women abstained from work and other daily functions. This break time due to menstruation was anywhere from 1-3 days at the most.

Felt Pads For Chairs

Menstruation is not abnormal in domesticated creatures in so-called civilization (which really means "slavery"). Just look at the house cat and dog. These creatures have a menstrual cycle, just like the social creature called woman.

For a human being, especially a mammal, to lose its vital life essence (blood) monthly, is not a natural occurrence. Blood exiting out of the body is not a natural thing. If a man goes to urinate and sees blood in his urine, he first screams in fear and then goes to the emergency room at the local hospital to see the doctor. Why? Because it's a sign that something is wrong (if a man does urinate blood, chances are he has prostate cancer).

The life of the flesh is in the blood. Even the Bible tells us this (Leviticus 17:11). The blood contains vital elements (minerals) necessary to maintain optimal health. The blood transports the various minerals to certain parts of the body so that certain organs may work and function optimally for the sake of the being. For example, calcium calms the nerves. Potassium ensures optimal nerve transmission. Iodine regulates and ensures optimal thyroid gland functioning and activity. Iron ensures hemoglobin and is now the major carrier of oxygen (taking over this duty from the mineral "gold" which we no longer use in our modern and degenerative states of existence as third dimensional beings). Now if the blood which carries these minerals throughout the body is being eliminated out of the body for the sake of ridding the female body of toxins and waste (which the colon and kidneys could easily perform), then the organs that need and depend on these vital elements are not going to get them and the result is going to be dis-ease or lack of good or optimal health (e.g. PMS [premenstrual syndrome]).

Take PMS for example; PMS is associated with mood swings, irritability of nerves, gas (flatulence), abdominal cramps, headaches, body spasms, short term memory loss, etc. Why? Because of a lack of nutrients or organ-specific foods to these areas for proper functioning. With blood saturated in the vaginal area during the menses and exiting via the vagina, the brain is not going to get the minerals carbon, copper, calcium and potassium (at least the amount it requires). Calcium is a calmative (calming agent). It calms you down. Do you know why the animals who graze on grasses like oats, alfalfa, barley, wheat, and gotu kola are so calm? Because they contain high amounts of calcium. Animals know that God made the grass to grow for their benefit and good health. The Book of Psalms clearly tells us that, "He causeth the grass to grow for cattle,..." Do you know why elephants are said to have good memories? Because they graze on gotu kola, an herb that enhances mental acuity and stamina. Therefore, female elephants do not experience episodes of short term memory loss (nor do they develop Alzheimer's Disease as the herb gotu kola contains bio-aluminum [organic aluminum] which attracts harmful, man-made aluminum which causes Alzhiemer's in the first place, and rids it from the body via the blood).

With blood leaving the body during the menses, the nerves are not going to get its needed amount of potassium for proper nerve transmission. The thyroid gland (a major factor in weight gain and loss) is not going to get the necessary amount of iodine it needs to regulate body weight. And with a major loss of iron, a trace element, anemia is going to undoubtedly occur and cause a host of ill-effects such as dizziness, weakness, nausea, fatigue, frigidity (or feeling excessively cold), and brittle fingernails.

During the menstrual cycle, the female body is going to saturate the blood supply in the vaginal area to help with the menstrual cycle, and as a result, necessary minerals will not be transported in the amount needed by the other body organs and members. These minerals that are lodged in the vaginal area during the menstruation will come out in bulk in the "white" stage (leukorrheac discharge). Yes, that white discharge commonly referred to as "leucorrhea," is full of nutrition (that nutrition which did not make the grade doing the menstrual cycle). The white discharge is considered healthy or normal due to its high mineral content and non-smelly or foul odor, whereas and in contrast to an irritating, pruritic, copious, foul-smelling green or yellow discharge, which indicates vaginal or uterine infection or other pathogenic conditions of gynecologic origin. (See Mosby's Medical, Nursing, and Allied Health Dictionary, 3rd edition, "leucorrhea.")

So PMS is due to mineral deficiency, and not a curse by God on females. Medical logic suggest that PMS can be cured or corrected by counteracting mineral deficiency by giving the body more minerals before, during, and after the menstrual cycle. The best source of these minerals is raw, organic foods (fruits and vegetables) and herbs. And remember, your body has nerves that connect to every organ in your body. The gas pockets in the colon explode and press against other nerves sites in the colon (which contain 360 nerve crystals) and cause a host of other problems, especially headaches.

It is reported that the African women kidnapped and brought to America during the American slavery period (1555-1863) did not have a menstrual cycle, but a period. Yes, they only had a little drop of blood the size of a small dot, which is why it was called a "period," that mark we make and utilize in the English language, but which is now associated with the menstrual "cycle." The term "cycle" is now a synonym for the word "period."

We find support of the disease nature of the menstrual cycle in the Bible in the story of Jesus healing the woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years. This account is detailed in the Book of Mark. Many Christian reverends, who do not apply or understand metaphysics, construe this issue of blood as a cut on the woman's body that Jesus healed, but if these ignorant Christian reverends understood medical logic, science, and fact, they would know that no human being can bleed for more than a period of 12 hours without dying! If a person bleeds for 12 hours straight, we all know what happens, except for our blind Christian pastors, especially the Negro ones. We read in Mark, Chapter 5, Verses 25-34, the following: "And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up: and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, 'Who touched my clothes?" And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitudes thronging thee, and sayest thou, who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what she done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, 'Daughter, they faith had made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

Now why do you think this woman's issue of blood that lasted for twelve years was called a "plague?" Well, what is a "plague?" The word "plague" is defined as: 1. A widespread affliction or calamity. 2. A cause of annoyance; nuisance. 3. A highly infectious, usu. fatal epidemic disease, esp. bubonic plague. (The American Heritage Dictionary, 3rd edition, Office Edition, pg. 633).

Do not most American females feel afflicted, annoyed, or nuisanced during their menstrual cycle? The answer is yes! Why do you think they take pharmaceutical drugs like Midol® during their cycle? For fun? Hell no! They are in pain or feel afflicted. Many or most of them (females) are not the same during this time, and they will tell you so, like they have told me so. They become very grouchy and irritated. Many will tell you that they are a "bitch" during this time and to leave them alone and/or don't say a word to them, lest they slap you or punch you in the face. Why do they become like this? It is because of the calamity or the plague, as the Bible calls it.

In analyzing the Mark 5:25-34 story or parable of the woman with an issue of blood for twelve years, we must apply spiritual or metaphysical hermaneutics and exigesis. Number one, the issue of blood lasting twelve years could be no other than the menstrual cycle. It could not be a form of blood cancer (leukemia) as cancer kills usually within six months to three years. It could not have been a bleeding sore on the body because nobody can bleed daily and nonstop for twelve years. The touching of Jesus' garments is a metaphor or spiritual symbolical meaning or action referring to Jesus' lifestyle. A garment is what protects or covers you. Likewise, a righteous and wholistic lifestyle covers and protects you (from sickness, disease, slavery, and premature death). The woman touching Jesus' garment meant that the woman touched (practiced) Jesus' way of living. The "fountain of her blood" referred to her vagina. And clearly, her "faith" (in being cured by a righteous and Essenic lifestyle) made her whole (at ease and not dis-eased). It is important to note that the parable begins by saying that she suffered (took) many things of physicians (drugs) and had spent all that she had. If her issue was in fact a wound on the skin as most Negro Christian reverends suggests, a physician would have had knowledge to bandage up the wound in order to put pressure on the wound so as to stop the profuse bleeding.

Moving on in our subject matter, if menstruation is necessary and natural, and serves to expel or eliminate toxins from the female body on a monthly basis, why then does the menstrual cycle stop or go away during pregnancy? Does a toxic woman automatically become clean or nontoxic because of pregnancy? Of course not! So why does the menses halt? The answer lies in the fact of the body's intelligence knowing that a new life is forming in the flesh and that the body will need extra nutrition for the building blocks of the new life. The body knows it loses these building blocks (minerals) during menstruation, so the body's intelligence prevents the body from menstruating once conception takes place. So what about the process of eliminating toxins? How does the female body throw off toxins during pregnancy? The female body will utilize the first trimester (or first three months) to eliminate toxins from the mother host body via "morning sickness." I don't have a clue as to why this activity is called "morning sickness" because women will suffer through this sickness throughout the day - morning, noon, and night; - something to make you think about! Women will throw up (vomit, regurgitate) to help get the body clean for the baby to develop in. Some females are so toxic, that the body will dump most of the toxins from the uterine area in to the liver, which causes or manifests "eclampsia," which is liver toxicity during pregnancy. Taking synthetic and harmful pharmaceutical drugs euphemistically called "prenatal tabs" (made with horse manure, bitumen, and coal tar) and inorganic sources of "iron" (which is derived from rusted metals such as railroad tracks) will greatly play a role in eclampsia. This synthetic and deadly "iron" [ferrous fumate and sulfate] is the cause of constipation and bloated feeling in pregnant women. Pharmaceutical companies mix this inorganic iron (humans require "organic" or "living" iron from plant sources) with inorganic sulphur. The injurious effects of inorganic mineral sulphur however, is caused by its affinity for iron and also its destruction of ferments and enzymes, and by its generation of sulphurous and sulphuric acids within the organism. It steals the iron from food and blood, forming sulphide of iron which constipates and dries up the several secretions of the digestive tract. It also steals nascent hydrogen from the fluids and tissues forming sulphuranhydride or sulphureted hydrogen. Women, this is the cause of the foul smelling gas you expel and have been revolted at, which is always given off by decaying organic matter, animal and vegetable. It is the smell of rotten eggs, putrid sores, fecal matter, and decaying flesh.

Should menstruating women engage in sexual intercourse? For health and hygiene reasons, I say no, especially if a woman is lying on her back. My reasoning is this - like the rectum, the female vagina has a "downward" spiral energy. Most eliminative channels have a downward, spiral energy (e.g. colon, kidneys). While in the sex act, the male penis strokes in and out while inside the vagina. As menstruation is a cleansing time, expelling toxins and waste from the female body, waste and toxins traveling down the vagina to the exit or opening of the vagina will eventually be pushed back up into the uterine area by the stroking male penis, and especially if a man is stroking or penetrating hard, fast, and deep with his sex organ. This is something to think about. Plain and simple, it is unhygienic and unhealthy and poses a serious health risk.

In closing, what can a female do to offset the side effects of the "plague" (menses)? The answer is found in the Bible in Psalms 104:14. It clearly states, "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth." Plain and simple!

To replenish the body of the necessary nutrients (minerals), consume herbs such as alfalfa, sheep sorrel, suma, rooisbos, rose hips, watercress, parsley leaf, moringa or karela seed, barley grass, wheat grass, nettle leaf, and spinach leaf. These herbs provide almost every mineral the body needs.

Also, consume sea weeds such as kelp, dulse, spirulina, chlorella, Irish Moss, bladderwrack, Blue-Green Algae, Iceland Moss, and red marine algae. Sea weeds are the best and most nutritious foods you can eat, and provide your body with everything you need (oxygen, minerals, protein, etc.) and are an excellent source of organic "iodine" (thyroid gland food).

Natural sources rich in "iron" include: yellow dock root, burdock root, dandelion root, elderberries, red raspberry leaf, rooibos, and mullein leaf. Green vegetables such as parsley, greens, chives, and spinach are also great sources of iron. Blackstrap molasses (unsulphured) also provides a good amount of iron.

Natural sources of "calcium" include: comfrey root (don't believe the hype about liver toxicity), oatstraw, horsetail, and red raspberry leaf. All green leafy vegetables are good sources of calcium (if you juice or lightly steam them).

Herbs to coagulate the blood and stop excessive bleeding include: goldenseal, cranesbill (alum root), dragon's blood, manjistha, musta, shepherd's purse, lady's mantle, yarrow, cayenne, Solomon's seal, barberry, and heal-all herb.

Herbs to regulate and normalize the menstrual cycle and flow include: maca, black cohosh, blue cohosh, dong quai, mugwort, red raspberry leaf, wild yam root (best and highest source of natural progesterone), squawvine, false unicorn, chaste tree berries, lycii fruit, red clover tops (best and highest source of natural estrogen), licorice root, sarsaparilla, and angelica.

Herbs that counteract menstrual cramping and spasms include: beth or birth root, crampbark, fennel seed, anise seed, and wild yam root.

Herbs that counteract menstrual related pain and headaches include: white willow bark, black willow bark, feverfew, meadowsweet, birch bark, wood betony, wild lettuce, peppermint, wintergreen, and woodruff.

Herbs that help soothe the nerves during the menstrual cycle include: nerve root or lady's slipper, kava kava, jatamansi, valerian root, lavender flower, passionflower, hops, skullcap, chamomile, and linden flower.

Herbs that give energy for fatigue during the menstrual cycle include: ginseng (all species), ashwagandha, schizandra berries, jiwanti, yerba mate, green tea, suma, codonopsis bark, kola or bissey nut, and guarana seed.

Herbs for mental stimulation during the menstrual cycle include: gotu kola, gingko biloba, bringraj, ashwagandha, ginseng, holy or blessed thistle, kola or bissey nut, yerba mate, and guarana seed.

Herbs that counteract constipation during the menstrual cycle include: senna leaves and pods, cascara sagrada, buckthorn, aloe vera resin, rhubarb root, jalap root, bibitaki, mandrake, black walnut hulls, poke root, slippery elm bark, Irish moss, guar gum, acacia gum, and psyllium Husks.

Herbs that strengthen the uterus during the menstrual cycle include: ashoka, squawvine, false unicorn, pumpkin seed, cocculus root, and saw palmetto.

Natural remedies to counteract breast soreness and tenderness during the menstrual cycle include: (oils) [internally and externally] evening primrose oil, borage oil, black currant oil; (externally - massaged into breasts) olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, grapefruit seed oil, rose hip seed oil; (essential oils that can be added to breast massage oil) fennel seed oil, clary sage, grapefruit peel oil, and rosemary; (herbs) saw palmetto berries, honeysuckle flower, red raspberry leaf, red clover tops, yew tips, poke root, wild indigo, and red root.

Herbs that counteract eclampsia during pregnancy include: white peony bark, deer tongue herb, milk thistle seeds, dandelion root, burdock root, carbon (activated charcoal), uva ursi, grapevine leaf, and Oregon grape.

Britax Advocate 70 CS Convertible Car Seat Review - One Of The Best

If you are looking to buy the safest car seat for your child bar none, then The Britax Advocate 70 CS Convertible Car Seat is one of the best. I always felt that the Britax line were of the finest quality as compared to other brands, putting safety above all. In case you are not familiar with the Britax convertible line, I would like to tell you that they are probably the best that money can buy.

Felt Pads For Chairs

Britax has added some new safety features to make them one of the safest products in this area. The Britax Advocate 70 CS Convertible Car Seat's shell is reinforced with steel bars and it curves around and basically surrounded and protects where your child sits. This is important for your child's maximum protection.

Felt Pads For Chairs

The very high density comfort foam and super soft cover also contributes to the whole cradling effect of the seat. Another good thing about Britax Advocate 70 CS Convertible is the quick adjust harness. It is really great. You don't have to uninstall the chair and dismantle the whole thing to adjust the straps to the perfect height and the mechanism is smooth and easy to pull up or push down.

Something I hadn't realized before is that the service life for Britax car seats is 6 years from the manufacturing date. Until recently, I wasn't even aware that these type of products had an expiration date.

The Advocate 70 CS is rather large and you may have some difficulty installing it in a smaller vehicle. I suggest you watch the installation video and read the owners manual before installing to make it easier for you.

So, to summarize:

The PROS:
Britax safety history - they probably have the safest convertible car seats line ups. Side Impact Protection (including Side Impact Cushion Technology) Fantastic weight range (5-35lbs rear facing) (20-65 forward facing) Comfortable and super soft cover with shoulder pads, belly pads, and infant body pillow Push-button LATCH connectors Versa-tether allows tethering even if your vehicle does not have built-in tether anchors Easy harness adjustment without re-threading Built-in Lockoffs Easy to recline Expires 6 years after manufacturing date Britax website provides manuals and video installation guides

The CONS:
It's Expensive Bulky size may not fit smaller vehicles well Serial number difficult to locate

Top 7 Tips for Extending the Life of Your Polished Timber Floors

1. Apply felt pads to all furniture.

Felt Pads For Chairs

Self adhesive protective felt pads should be applied to all furniture legs paying particular attention to dining chairs - This is the furniture moved the most frequently and can quickly cause damage. Tip: Rough up the bottom of the chair leg with a piece of sandpaper before applying the felt to assist with a more permanent adhesion.

Felt Pads For Chairs

2. Use appropriate entrance mats.

Rigid spiky plastic entrance mats will assist greatly in removing dirt and grit from the tread of footwear.

3. Vacuum and sweep regularly.

Vacuum your floor regularly to keep it free of grit as it will act like sandpaper under shoes causing unnecessary and accelerated wear in the main traffic areas of your home.

4. Avoid damage from dog claws.

After clipping your dog's claws, round off the edges with an emery board or piece of fine sandpaper - The sharp edges will leave permanent indented scratches in any polished timber floor whether it is pine or hardwood.

5. Use the correct cleaning products.

Refrain from using supermarket products as they can leave a residual layer that can cause rejection problems at a later stage when a maintenance coat may be required to extend the life of your floor. Use the product manufactures recommendations for your particular floor coating. Tip: Half cup of methylated spirits in half a household bucket of warm water is a neutral cleaning solution suitable to mop any polished floor with periodically.

6. Diffuse direct sunlight.

Intense direct sunlight on an internal polished floor can cause a number of problems:

Premature yellowing of the finish. It can dry out the boards in that particular area lowering the moisture content and cause excessive widening of the gaps between the boards. In extreme circumstances it can cup the boards and also cause accelerated deterioration of the coating.

Tip: Use curtains, blinds or tinted glass wherever necessary.

7. Under floor ventilation.

If your home sits on supports and is close to the open earth, or has an enclosed area where moisture is constantly present, ensure there is adequate ventilation to assist in keeping a dry under floor environment as timber floors will absorb moisture from underneath causing the opposite problem of the effects of direct sunlight. Absorbing the moisture from below will cause them to swell and appear convex on top. If this does occur, it will correct itself over time if the ventilation and moisture problem is resolved.

Why Use Felt Rug Pads?

All rugs need a rug pad and for those of us not too excited about using rubber on our floors, an excellent choice in carpet pads for all carpets on all types of floors is one of a felted jute. The best jute felt rug pad is made of a recycled jute that is compressed into a dense pad to prolong the life of any area rug while protecting the floor underneath. The reasons for using a quality felt rug pad are numerous. I highlight some of the more important reasons in this article.

Felt Pads For Chairs

Felt jute pads can be made in a few ways and one of the best felt carpet pads available is one which is made from recycled fibers such as wool and nylon carpet fibers. These fibers are compressed into a dense cushion using a needle punching process. This allows for a clean and dense pad that will hold up to traffic and not shed. A good rule of thumb is to choose a felt rug pad that has a 40 ounce weight. This refers to the amount of fiber there is per square yard of cushion. The weights usually start at 20 ounce and work their way up yet a 40 ounce will be dense enough to resist and hold together without shedding.

Felt Pads For Chairs

The recycled fibers in the felt jute padding are mold and mildew resistant and do not contain any odor. This pad is made in such a way that it does not scratch any hardwood or hard floor surfaces and does not transfer or stick to floors or rugs. If your rug is at least size 6'x9' or larger, it generally does not have a slipping problem. This carpet pad is excellent for such rugs. It should be noted that if your rug truly needs a non slip pad, then you should not consider this one as it does not contain any rubber, nylon or plastic.

For your rugs, this dense felt jute pad is excellent in acting as a barrier between the rug and the hard floor. For your floors, it is excellent in that it does not scratch. The density is a key factor as well in providing resistance to heavy objects that would normally cause indentations in some wood floors.

I like this pad for all types of area rugs as it feels good to walk on, almost 1/2 of an inch thickness, and it lasts at least 15 years. The fact that the material is nonallergenic and mold and mildew resistant plays a big role in many homes. Use this padding under rugs on hardwood floors, tile, marble, stone and concrete floors. One big asset of this pad is that since it does not contain any rubber or petroleum based products, it is rated as one of the best pads for laminate floors that could react negatively to other products.

When you choose a quality felt jute pad for your rugs and floors, make sure to choose one that is a 40 ounce weight and contains only recycled materials. There are some available that are much less dense made with synthetic material or latex and this could cause to provide more harm than none.
