Cat Toys

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — byronbentley1962 @ 1:28 pm

Homemade cat toys are the easiest things to make and half the time your cat will come up with its own homemade cat toys. My cat loves my Lance Armstrong live strong bracelet. When she's not throwing it up in the air, I often find it sitting in her water bowl. She also fetches a popular homemade cat toy I made for her, which is a simple paper ball.

Homemade cat toy: Small paper ball.

1) Simply take a small piece of paper and roll it up in to a ball.

The key to these paper balls is that they are small enough for her to easily carry around the house. An easy way to make sure these are the right size is to use a small shopping receipt. This homemade cat toy is one of her favorite all around cat toys. I'd say it's her second favorite cat toy of all since she will often greet me on the couch with one in her mouth and drop it next to me waiting for me to throw it. Her number one favorite cat toy is also a homemade cat toy. I can't take much credit for this one since she is the one to discover it. She made a homemade cat toy out of an old shoe string. She drags the shoe string all around the house with her like Linus and his blanket.

If you want to get a real kick out of your cat enjoying a homemade cat toy you'll love this next one. I'll have to share credit with my cat for the creation of this homemade cat toy. One day I had a soda box laying around so my cat decided to explore it. At first she would just lay inside of it, but after a while inspiration must have hit and she decided to get out of the box and stalk it. She sat outside of the soda box crouched low to the floor with her little butt wiggling. I laughed and said, “What are you doing?” Then she started to charge the box tucking in her shoulder to narrow her body she looked like a spear when she entered the box. I must give her the credit for that use of the soda box as a homemade cat toy.

Homemade Cat toy: Soda Box

1) 1) Use an open 12 pack soda box and leave the flaps intact.

2) 2) Do not remove the flaps as your cat will like the challenge of breaking through them.

3) 3) Don't expect your cat to know what to do with it right away. It will take some curiosity time to figure it out.

We're not done with this soda box. I said I would split the credit with my cat for this homemade cat toy and I'm going to show you my end of the project. The soda box has a couple little openings on the side that are there to put your fingers in to carry the box. One day I decided this would be a great location to put on a titillating puppet show for my cat. I grabbed her little mouse toy and stuck my hand in the box with the toy peaking out every so often. My cat's curiosity was peaked and she would hit the toy when she saw it. Looking at her intense concentration I could tell that this was a great homemade cat toy.

Exercise Equipment

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — byronbentley1962 @ 8:37 pm

By now I'm sure you've all decided on which piece of workout equipment you're going to buy and store in your garage. You know, the one you buy every year in January when the infomercials for getting in shape are more plentiful than unopened fruitcakes

I'm not much of a health club person, so my husband and I bought some cross country skis about 10 years ago - right around the time global warming started to kick in. So far this winter we've dragged the skis to northern Wisconsin and Lake Tahoe searching for something to glide on. They have yet to make it out of their carrying case.

To stay in shape during the snowless gaps, I lift heavy stationary exercise equipment and move it from my livingroom into my garage.

My success with workout machines hasn't exactly been the same as model and fitness guru Christy Brinkly's. Over the past five years I've bought and stored a cross country ski machine, a stair stepper, a stationary bicycle, a treadmill, and a Body By Jake Cardio Cruiser.

My first piece of equipment, the cross country ski machine, I came across quite by accident. It had been placed at the curb at the end of my street and I walked past it several times while walking the dog. The fourth time I passed it I decided maybe this was God's subtle way of telling me my butt was getting too big, so I grabbed hold of it and dragged it back home. It broke a couple of months later so I used the “ski poles” as a coat rack for the rest of the year.

The following January I ordered a plastic stair-stepping contraption from an infomercial that regularly froze up during my workouts. Because it only had a 90-day warranty it would have cost three million dollars to send back. It now makes a good, albeit heavy, step-stool.

During the green months I like to bicycle so I was sure that buying a stationary bike would be the end of my equipment collection. But because the dog likes to lay out on the front step in the morning after his walk, and because my house is small, the only place I could put the bike was in the diningroom from where I did not have a view of the dog incase he started barking. And I soon found that the only way I could stand the monotony of riding in place was to watch T.V., but the T.V. was located in the livingroom and I would have to turn the volume way up in order to hear over the noise of the bike, and when I did that I couldn't hear if the dog started barking, which I know he did frequently because every few minutes I would get off the bike and look out the front door and he would be at the end of his leash clawing at the ground terrorizing passers-by. The bike now makes a great doggy towel drying rack - in the garage.

The next January we were at a mall and I passed by a treadmill store and went in and bought a top-of-the-line NordicTrack. Several months later I packed it up because every time I used it the dog would come into the room and drop his toys onto the moving belt and stare at me. I think he was trying to kill me because the machine was located in my bedroom with the back of it snug up against a wall - one misstep and I would slammed into the wall rendering me unconscious.

Hello garage.

Enter the Body by Jake Cardio Cruiser. To vary my exercise routine I immediately put the machine in the garage as soon as it was delivered last spring and dragged it into the house a week ago and dusted off the cobwebs. It's portable enough that I can position it so that I can see and hear the dog. It's quiet, it's safe, and, try as I might, I can't get the thing to break or lock up on me. And it's way too heavy to send back.

Hmm, this could be a very sad day for Christy Brinkly.

Aromatherapy For Stress Reduction

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — byronbentley1962 @ 9:16 pm

Oil aromatherapy is a popular method used by many to reduce stress and scent the interior air of your home with a pleasant flower or herbal fragrance. There are a wide variety of aromatherapy oils available, lending themselves to a plethora of different purposes. You will find aromatherapy essential oils available as or used in essential oil blends, massage oils, hand and body lotions, flower waters, as well as in herbal bags designed for use in your clothes dryer.

Oil blends utilizing aromatherapy oils are readily available for your use in an aromatherapy diffuser and other types of aromatherapy products. The key to getting the most scent out of your oil aromatherapy is to heat the oil, and in order to do that you will want to use some type of aromatherapy diffuser. You can apply heat to your aromatherapy essential oils by using a candle, a light bulb, or an electric heater. A light bulb diffuser is a hollow ring that fits over the top of a light bulb. You put a few drops of oil in the ring, and then turn on the light to begin heating the oil and releasing its pleasant aroma. This option takes up practically no room, yet can effectively scent a room. A candle diffuser places a shallow basin above a tea light. These aromatherapy products are highly decorative and function as both a useful and attractive room accessory.

Other aromatherapy supplies you might want to keep on hand include massage oils. Vegetable oils are combined with aromatherapy essential oils to create an oil perfectly suited for your next massage session, yet can also be added to your bath for a luxuriously scented soak.

Hand and body lotions can also contain fragrant essential oils. These wonderful lotions smooth your skin and moisturize it if it is feeling dry and flaky. At the same time, you will also enjoy the fresh scent of the essential oil, which may help to lift your mood and improve your emotions. Unscented lotions are also available, so that you can add your choice of essential oils and make your own custom fragrance lotion.

If you prefer a lighter fragrance, then you might enjoy flower water. A combination of distilled water and essential oils, it is a subtle way to add fragrance to your body, your bath or any room in your home or office.

Oil aromatherapy, used in conjunction with appropriate aromatherapy supplies such as light bulb or candle diffusers, will make a sensational way to add fragrance to your life.

Investing

The history of the stock market has taught us that bull, or favorable markets tend to last longer than bear, or unfavorable, markets. The phrases 'bull market' and 'bear market' describe conditions of the market and come from early bear trappers. They were known for depending on the price of fur to drop so they could buy pelts cheaply to cover previous option trades they had made. At one time bull and bear baiting was a popular sport and depicted the bull and bear as natural enemies. So the term bull market was used to describe the rise of the opposing market.

As widely known worldwide and reported in a Money-Zine.com article, on October 29, 1929, the Dow, a measurement of the stock market as a whole, fell 30 points to close at 230.07. This represented a decrease of almost 13 percent in the overall market. The loss of market value was roughly $14 billion, an astounding amount even now. This meant that total invested in the market by individuals and entities such as pension funds simply vanished. The serious implications of this event affected even those people who had not directly invested in the market. The subsequent depression, although not directly a result of the market crash, further cemented the idea that investing in the stock market would later reduced investors to sell apples on street corners. Finally, the stories and representations of men throwing themselves off roofs and crying at their desks assured the general public that stock investments could only cause pain.

Moreover, 58 years later, the crash of 1929 was exceeded by Black Monday and Black Tuesday on October 19 and 20, 1987, respectively. The Dow's drop of 508 points represented more than a 22 percent decline in the total market value and than $ 500 billion from investors. The crash of 1929 was a lark by comparison. The crash of 1929 was attributed to the market practice of accepting credit to pay for the purchase of stock. It is no longer an accepted practice - at least in the same manner. Further, program trading, or the ability to trade stocks in a matter of seconds through the use of computers, has been blamed for the crash of 1987. The emphasis is not on why the money was lost, but in the fact that the money was lost.

In 1929 stock market reached a new high of 469.49 one month before the crash. And as widely reported in a New York Times article, in the stock market had also reached a new high of 2,722.42, two months before the 1987 crash. One can make a safe assumption that much of the money lost by investors taken from profits from their investments. This does not mean that their losses are not real, though. If at the end of the day, you still have the money you put into the investment, it is difficult to say that you've lost something other than the time that their money has been busy and, of course, opportunities have been lost as a result of it.

Certainly, many stock market fears can be justified. But not to prudently invest with the help of investment experts because you fear a stock market crash may need to be reconsidered.

The job's not done until the locks are on the door. A beautifully designed and quality built commercial building requires a variety of quality door locks. Careful selection should be made to install the best locks for entryways, fire doors, office doors, restrooms, utility closets and any other location within the building where access and privacy need to be controlled. Contractors should take time to discuss with the client the variety of locks available to meet their security requirements.

The exterior entrances of the building can be secured with a range of deadbolt locks. Security needs will determine whether to use standard or heavy duty lock construction. Standard duty commercial deadbolts work well for office buildings. Heavy duty commercial deadbolts provide the best security. You should look for lock construction that includes a concealed wood frame reinforcer that prevents kick-ins.

You'll probably want to pair a cylindrical lock with a deadbolt to allow ease of entry. Your choices include lever style locks and knob locks. A heavy duty lever lock is suitable for hospitals, factories and even schools. Buildings with less stringent security needs may opt for standard or medium duty lever locks. Some lever locks are also UL listed for use on 3-hour fire doors. Knobs are the traditional doorknob design. These are also available in medium and heavy duty designs. Knob locks are typically reserved for interior doors of commercial buildings

Interconnected locks are an attractive choice for exterior doors of offices, hotels and light-duty commercial buildings. These locks are called interconnected because the handicapped compliant handles unlatch both the handset and the deadbolt when it's depressed. The best interconnected locks have a reinforced deadbolt strike to prevent an intruder from kicking the door open.

Interior doors of the building can be secured with a mortise lock. These locks are both attractive and functional. Heavy duty mortise locks are dependable and designed to withstand high-usage and abuse. This makes them ideal for hospitals and schools. When choosing mortise locks, look for designs that include a free-wheeling lever that resists force when locked.

No matter what types of locks are required in a building, most manufacturers will offer a variety of finishes that can be matched across all styles. This allows for a consistent aesthetic appeal throughout the building. Finishes typically include brass, bronze and stainless steel. Expect to pay from $40 for a simple cylindrical lock up to $300 for the finest mortise locks.

Stock Market

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — byronbentley1962 @ 5:00 pm

The stock market is a great arena for people to make a lot of money, however, for many beginners, all the hustle and bustle of stock trading may cause a lot of confusion, especially if you are not familiar with the many terms and tactics used for negotiations.

If you are a beginner in the stocks game, make sure that you familiarize and educate yourself well on stock trading knowledge. You can of course, start off by widening your vocabulary. Here are a few terms that you may need to familiarize:

Stocks

Stocks are probably the most important and common items traded in the stock market. These are actually shares of certain companies, which are publicly sold and traded.

Whenever people buy a portion of stock in a particular company, this means that they acquire a share of ownership and investing in that specific business. Through this, a stockholder is given certain rights towards the company such as a vote in stockholder meetings as well as his or her financial share from the company's earnings.

Broker

A stockbroker is the person who handles the actual trading of stocks. He or she does the negotiations to buy and sell the stocks in behalf of the investors and the companies involved. The many various types of brokers may include full-service, online, auto-trade and discount brokers.

Bull Market

A bull market is a market that manifests a continuous increase in the value of its stocks as well as a steady growth. Generally, with this type of market, investors gain an optimistic attitude and may want to buy more rather than sell stocks.

Bear Market

Bear markets mainly characterize significant losses and declines in a particular market. With this type of behavior among stocks, most investors would generally want to sell more of their stocks and may be pessimistic about investing.

Dividends

Dividends are added or bonus payments given to stockholders after a profitable quarter. With this sum of money, many people may often reinvest on more shares of stock, which allows individuals to earn so much.

Futures

Futures, just like stocks, are also traded in the market. However, these are purchased against future costs of commodities. You can earn from these, if in time, the actual price of commodities become higher than what you paid for the futures. On the other hand, you can also lose money if the price becomes lower that what you paid for.

Day Trader

A day trader is the person who buys and sells stocks aggressively in one day. Usually, he or she does this for several times each day in order to make quite a few small profits within the day.

Trading on Margin

Trading on margin may be same to trading stocks with the use of borrowed money. Through this, you can purchase shares of stock for only a portion of the actual price. The remainder of the cost can be paid upon the real sale of the particular stock, or on a later date.

These terms are only a few of the most commonly used language in stock trading. And upon encountering them, you may surely have the impression of how intimidating the stock market can get. With the many complicated terminologies and tactics, you may easily get backtracked if you do not know enough about what you are dealing with.

Remember that if you are new at doing business in this arena, make sure that you take the extra mile to learn more about more terms as well as strategies on how you can best maximize profit. A little hard work will certainly get you far, and one of these days you will realize how all of this can pay off.

Many people out there are scared to take that first step. Once you do, you will learn the basics of investing, you will only get better with practice. This article will help you open an account, and learn what investing is all about, and how it works.

The first task you need to do is research brokerage houses, and make sure they offer online trading, because that's where it all happens. All brokerages offer researching tools and analytical software for a small investment, but its well worth the investment. When you decide to buy your stocks you need to understand what you're buying, and this software will help you distinguish good stocks from bad stocks.

Some other key factors you need to look at are there trading platforms. Practice with it for a while and see if you get comfortable. Make sure they offer services, such as, online statements, portfolio, gain/loss statement, and stock watch. These are the bare minimums to have, because you want to be able to keep an eye on your investments.

When you open your account, most companies will require you to put $2000 dollars in your money market account. Once you do this, you start to collect interest on that amount. The goal of every investor is to create a diverse portfolio. By doing this you will be able to overcome some bad investments. That's what diversity is all about, having a variety, such as, mutual funds, long-term stocks, short-term stocks, options, IRA, bonds, and a savings account.

There are all types of methods of investing, some require experience, and some you can do as a beginner. I would concentrate on long-term stocks that pay good dividends for starters. As long as you're educating yourself every day, you'll be able to try other techniques of investing.

When you start to trade online, make sure you get a brokerage that charges fewer than 10 dollars per transaction. Don't be fooled by those 2 and 3-dollar trades, read the fine print, most of them say you need to have like 1000 trades a year. Some may only give you cheap trades for the first 90 days. Choose what's best for you, if you're going to trade a lot; go with the lower trade cost. Just make sure you hit their trade amount, or they will charge you full price.

This article aims the new investor in the right direction, and guiding them through that tough first step, of getting an account and learning the ropes. Once you do it a few times, you will become proficient, and your novice skills will quickly turn in to experienced skills.

Dog Steps

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — byronbentley1962 @ 12:02 pm

I was looking through the dog food aisle at Publix. I had a $1 off coupon for Busy Bones by Purina. I read the packaging. It showed poultry by-product as the fourth ingredient but the beef stock and brewers yeast in the ingredients sounded healthy. It also had gelatin, bone meal and liver meal so I thought well, I'll give it a try .I've really been hard on my little guys, most of the time they get slivers of raw carrot as a treat. They like this but it doesn't keep them busy chewing and they need something to chew on. My husband will roast bones for them every now and then but these are messy for them to eat in the house. They want to take them to bed. We end up making them stay outside with them. I wanted something that would keep them occupied, not make a mess, was safe for them and wouldn't cost too much.

According to the Busy Bones package it said “Give your dog a unique chew that really is a treat! Busy Bone® brand Chewbone Treat keeps your dog busy to the bone, and he'll work at it eagerly because Busy Bone® also scores high on the taste charts. It has a fun twisted bone shape that will keep your dog both entertained and enthused. Busy Bone® is the ideal alternative to rawhide chews”. I couldn't stay in the store reading all day so I bought a package of Busy Bones. I figured I could research them when I got home.

I like to give my dogs treats as rewards, as a way to clean plaque off their teeth and just as something to keep them busy and happy. One of my dogs was food trained, the other just is a foodie and will work for treats. He'll also check your hands for something before he'll respond. Very annoying but funny. “Hmmm”, he seems to be thinking, “Shall I obey? Is she making it worth my while? How long should I make her wait?”

Busy Bone chew bone treat (large, small and medium dogs)
Busy Bone ultimate chew treat(large and medium dogs only)

The busy bone is a 5″ long twisted bone shape with a marrow like center called the meaty middle. It's a bit over an inch wide. The package says it's now even longer lasting. I like long lasting in a treat. It's suggested you feed on an easy to clean surface. That was worrisome. I have tile floors everywhere but they like to get in bed with their treats. My one guy will carry his treats around for days hiding them here and there. Usually in plain sight unfortunately. He “covers” his treat with imaginary stuff by pushing the stuff he thinks he sees, his imaginary covering material, up and over the bone. It's pretty funny to watch. The other, bigger dog is usually one of the watchers and moments later he goes and snags the treat.

Directions:Feed one Busy Bone Dental to your dog as a treat daily.

Warnings:
This chew snack is not suitable for puppies or toy breeds.
Busy Bone is a treat or snack and is not intended to replace your pet's main meal.
Provide fresh water for your dog daily.
Feed on an easy to clean surface.
For your pet's health, see your vet regularly

Ingredients:
Rice, glycerin, water, wheat flour, gelatin, chicken by-product meal, wheat gluten, calcium phosphate, added color (Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Blue 1, Blue 2 and other color), Ascorbic acid (a preservative), calcium propionate (a preservative), Guaranteed Analysis
Crude Protein (Min) 8.0%
Crude Fat (Min) 1.0%
Crude Fiber (Max) 2.0%
Moisture (Max) 18.0%
Calcium (Ca) (Min) 0.25%
natural and artificial smoke flavors, BHA (a preservative), BHT (a preservative), citric acid, calcium carbonate.

The more I read about Busy Bones the less I felt I should give this to the boys. They are 5 and 8 lb Chihuahuas. The next thing I read was that these are not suitable for puppies or toy dogs. Well, that's what these guys are. So, bye bye chew bone treat, back to the store it went. Between the possibility of staining things, the not for toy dogs warning and the poulty by products I was completely turned off.

When I got home I went to the Purina site and to the Epinions site and validated my decision. It was not recommended in any of the articles. I oculdn't find out why it was not recommended for toy dogs. Perhaps its the size, perhaps small dogs have more sensitive digestive systems. Nothing I looked up explained that. .

The company also makes:
Chew eez (raw hide)
T Bone
Beggin Strips

I was looking through the dog food aisle at Publix. I had a $1 off coupon for Busy Bones by Purina. I read the packaging. It showed poultry by-product as the fourth ingredient but the beef stock and brewers yeast in the ingredients sounded healthy. It also had gelatin, bone meal and liver meal so I thought well, I'll give it a try .I've really been hard on my little guys, most of the time they get slivers of raw carrot as a treat. They like this but it doesn't keep them busy chewing and they need something to chew on. My husband will roast bones for them every now and then but these are messy for them to eat in the house. They want to take them to bed. We end up making them stay outside with them. I wanted something that would keep them occupied, not make a mess, was safe for them and wouldn't cost too much.

According to the Busy Bones package it said “Give your dog a unique chew that really is a treat! Busy Bone® brand Chewbone Treat keeps your dog busy to the bone, and he'll work at it eagerly because Busy Bone® also scores high on the taste charts. It has a fun twisted bone shape that will keep your dog both entertained and enthused. Busy Bone® is the ideal alternative to rawhide chews”. I couldn't stay in the store reading all day so I bought a package of Busy Bones. I figured I could research them when I got home.

I like to give my dogs treats as rewards, as a way to clean plaque off their teeth and just as something to keep them busy and happy. One of my dogs was food trained, the other just is a foodie and will work for treats. He'll also check your hands for something before he'll respond. Very annoying but funny. “Hmmm”, he seems to be thinking, “Shall I obey? Is she making it worth my while? How long should I make her wait?”

The busy bone is a 5″ long twisted bone shape with a marrow like center called the meaty middle. It's a bit over an inch wide. The package says it's now even longer lasting. I like long lasting in a treat. It's suggested you feed on an easy to clean surface. That was worrisome. I have tile floors everywhere but they like to get in bed with their treats. My one guy will carry his treats around for days hiding them here and there. Usually in plain sight unfortunately. He “covers” his treat with imaginary stuff by pushing the stuff he thinks he sees, his imaginary covering material, up and over the bone. It's pretty funny to watch. The other, bigger dog is usually one of the watchers and moments later he goes and snags the treat.

The more I read about Busy Bones the less I felt I should give this to the boys. They are 5 and 8 lb Chihuahuas. The next thing I read was that these are not suitable for puppies or toy dogs. Well, that's what these guys are. So, bye bye chew bone treat, back to the store it went. Between the possibility of staining things, the not for toy dogs warning and the poulty by products I was completely turned off.

When I got home I went to the Purina site and to the Epinions site and validated my decision. It was not recommended in any of the articles. I oculdn't find out why it was not recommended for toy dogs. Perhaps its the size, perhaps small dogs have more sensitive digestive systems. Nothing I looked up explained that. .
