Sting Time

Publish Date: Friday, 10 September 2010 19:25

As Summer is winding down, this is the most likely time of year to be stung by wasps and similar predatory insects, entomologists say. There are now more adult wasps than at any time of the year, and they are all competing for sustenance, making them more likely to prowl garbage bins, picnic tables, or anywhere people leave food. This is also the time of year that bees and their like are scavenging for food stocks to keep their queens alive for the coming year. (Good luck eating out on the patio tonight!)

Swap So You Can Drop

Publish Date: Friday, 10 September 2010 19:25

A few recommended substitute foods that will help you lose weight ...

• Replace a bagel or bran muffin with 2 slices of whole-wheat toast. Skip the butter.

• Choose a regular take-out coffee instead of fancy concoctions with whole milk and/or whipped cream.

• Nix just 1 yolk from meals requiring 2 eggs. There are only 16 calories in the white and no fat.

• Swap fattening potato chips for popcorn. A cup of air-popped popcorn has 31 calories and no fat.

• Replace just 1 can of soda pop a day with a glass of iced water. You'll save 140 calories.

• If you normally have beef a couple of times a week, change 1 meal to fish instead.

• Swap regular beer with light beer; and regular wine with a wine spritzer, cut with soda water.

Careers To Enter Right Now

Publish Date: Friday, 10 September 2010 19:25

A few fields of employment where workers are currently in high demand ...

• Environment – Concerns about global warming have led to demand for better use of renewable energy and that means more ‘green jobs’. The number of clean energy jobs, from farmers to administrative assistants, is expected to continue to grow rapidly.

• Health Care – Nurses, technicians, and doctors make up 3 of the top 10 jobs in demand this year. And predictions are the home health aide field, which requires only short-term training, will grow 50% by 2018.

• Startups – Last year 69% more job-seekers than the previous year opted to start their own businesses instead of pounding the pavement for a new position. That means lots of new fledgling firms are now looking for staffing.

Quick Clutter Solutions

Publish Date: Friday, 10 September 2010 19:25

As the season change approaches, the warm weather stuff goes away and the cold weather stuff comes out. . . and there's so much stuff! I'm at the point where I have the pick up truck parked in position in front of the garage door, ready to be loaded all week with junk. Sure the goal is to have a perfectly usable garage again. . . but the reality is that it'll become a shed and storage unit again in no time flat. Reader's Digest has some suggestions for reducing clutter in your home;

• Add Towel Space – You can maximize the space in a small bathroom by standing a coat rack in the corner. It’s perfect for hanging towels and bathrobes without taking up much horizontal space. Plus, your items will dry quickly.

• Help Kids Hang Up Coats – Your little ones may be staging a coat-hanging strike because the hangars are too high. Install a second coat rack below the main one in the front-hall closet, with easy to reach hooks.

• Extra Clothes Storage – Large wicker baskets with flat lids that look like trunks can easily hold more folded sweaters or T-shirts than a drawer. Plus you can use them as bedside tables or coffee tables.

• Uses for Free Toiletries – To make use of your obsessive collection of hotel shampoos and conditioners, make a basket to put out on your bathroom counter when you have guests. Donate the rest to a shelter.

• Out-of-Season Clothes Storage – Use vacuum seal bags, which are available at most hardware stores. The clothes compress and are totally safe from insects and dust.

Signs Summer's All But Over

Publish Date: Friday, 10 September 2010 19:25

Okay, there's nearly 3 months left of the actual season, and a couple of months of fairly decent weather yet to come (I hope) before it's time to put the snow tires on, nonetheless, things like the Paris Fair, the final weekend of the Ex, back-to-school shopping are all evidence that the summer's about to end, but there are some other signs (just in case you're not certain).

• You look at your neglected lawn and promise to make more of an effort next year.
• Your bug bites have finally stopped itching and are paling into permanent scars.
• You’re planning to put away your solar-powered garden lights.
• You call your buddies to see if they’ll help pull the snowmobile out of the lake and get her tuned up.
• Your neck vein has stopped popping from kids repeatedly yelling, “Are we there yet?”
• The camping gear is back in the basement, collecting mould and mildew for next year.
• You’ve started a savings plan for those $500 heat bills coming in December and January.
• Health officials are already meeting to dream up a new flu scare for this Winter. Canine flu?
• You’ve used the last of the bikini wax to polish your hardwood floors.
