None of us likes to be bitten by mosquitoes and sometimes it is easy to forget that our pets suffer from mosquito bites too.Mosquitoes feed on blood, and they will take it where they can find it. Only the female bites, the males feed on plant nectar. While the female may have preferred hosts, she must have protein from blood to produce eggs. And, one blood meal is often not enough to produce a clutch of eggs. Often the female will feed, rest to...more
Have you ever wondered why you're not where you want to be in life?Fact is, we both have at one time or another.I know I certainly have.And while I still haven't achieved all of my goals, and probably never will (cause I keep setting bigger ones), I sure have come a long ways.And you know what happens?Once you make progress and have some success in your life, your mind opens to what you're capable of accomplishing.And that's where I'm at right now. I've had what many would consider a great amount of success, yet I keep pushing forward.Some people ask me why I don't just kick back and relax for awhile, but that's just not on my agenda, and here's why.My good friend and successful business owner Chet Rowland puts it this way, "You know what you want once you've had a taste of success? You want more, that's what you want."And that's the truth, we want more.We want more money, more happiness, more love, more time, heck, we want more of everything.And believe me, there's nothing wrong with that.The desire for something more and something better is what keeps this world going around.It's certainly what keeps me going.Cause the fact is, in the past I've had it both ways, and I'll tell you...more

But most people don't realize how big the problem is because those who suffer don't talk about it. Why? Would you talk about your pain if it involved rectal pain or vaginal/penis pain to your pals?

What an oxymoron the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has turned out to be. This vegan organization has one colossal ax to grind with their archrival, Darth Atkins. This is an old score that they've unfairly flung in front of the public before, all in the effort to squash the low carb idea and its adherents. The first time was when Robert Atkins suffered his fatal accident, a cranial blow that caused edema - when water accumulates within the tissues. This tragic condition, obviously, caused his body to fill with fluid and thus, his overall weight to rise. The so-called "Responsible Physicians" seized on this dying man's condition by calling Atkins obese - which he was not - and telling everyone who would listen that his diet killed him - which it did not.In the end, all they accomplished is to add bitterness and confusion to nutrition science by their shrill, unfair attacks on those who happen to disagree with them. So, after maligning a dead man, they've now put up Florida businessman Jody Gorran to sue the Atkins Corporation. Gorran - channeling those Responsible Physicians - made the following claims. First, Atkins was a doctor and Gorran was on his diet. Second, he...more
