TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Fruit of the Vine Not for Fido

The perils of toxins such as chocolate, anti-freeze, pesticides,
and some household plants are well recognized by pet owners.
Raisins and grapes, however, are relatively new to the list of
absolute NO NO's for cat and dog ingestion. According to the
National Animal Poison Control Center, pets can be extremely
sensitive to an unknown chemical in grapes, raisins, and juice or
wine made from grapes.

Even a small amount of raisins or grapes can make an animal
seriously ill. Without intensive treatment, pets can lapse into
kidney failure and die. First and foremost, keep pets away from
toxic substances, including vineyards that are accessible to your
animals. If you suspect that your cat or dog has ingested even a
few grapes or raisins, call your veterinarian immediately. Your
can reach the Animal Poison Control Center of the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals by calling (888)
426-4435 any time of the day or night, 365 days a year.

by Dusty Rainbolt, notes that kittens should not be allowed to
play with grapes or raisins, because even the juice can cause
kidney failure in smaller pets.

Health & Fitness: Don't Take That Lying Down!

2005-01-17T01:00:00.000-08:00

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Don't Take That Lying Down!

Your body destroys old bone cells and builds new ones every day.
This natural process is conducted by osteoclasts (the
terminators) and osteoblasts (the builders). As you age, the
former keep on truckin', but the latter slow down a bit. Older
folks don't build new bone as fast as they destroy old bone, and
the inevitable result is osteoporosis, a weakening of the bone
that increases the risk of fractures.

Alendronate (Fosamax) and risedronate (Actonel) are
bisphosphonates, compounds that inhibit osteoclasts from munching
away on old bone, thus preserving what you already have, while
osteoblasts build new bone.

Alas, as is so often the case in medicine, every bit of good news
comes with a dash of not-so-good news. No surprise here:
Bisphosphonates may irritate the esophagus.

You may be able to avoid this irritation if the pill passes
quickly into your stomach. Proposed solution: Take your meds in
the morning, on an empty stomach, with a full glass of water, and
stay upright -- no crawling back into bed for a snooze -- for at
least 30 minutes.

If your holidays were rich with stomach-teasing foodstuffs, look
into ways to relieve the unpleasantries with Heartburn & Reflux

Food, Home & Garden: Getting to Know Sake

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Getting to Know Sake

Good sake (sah kay), a fermented rice wine, ranges from clear to
pale gold in color. The taste is very dry to noticeably sweet,
with a broad range of fragrances, from ricelike to fruity or
herbal, depending on the region it comes from and other factors.
Its alcohol content is similar to wine, about 15 percent.
Although sake, especially premium sake, is preferred chilled by
most sake lovers, drinking warm sake during cold weather is much
enjoyed in Japan. Ultimately, enjoy sake whichever way you
prefer.

Here are four popular types of sake:

* Junmai-shu:This pure rice (no alcohol added) sake, in
which about 70 percent of the rice grain remains, is
rich in flavor and body and goes well with a wide
variety of sushi dishes.

* Honjozo-shu: This sake is similar to Junmai-shu, with a
little alcohol added. It's a good choice for warm sake.

* Ginjo-shu: This sake is made with rice in which about
60 percent of the grain remains. Made with or without a
little alcohol, this sake is generally lighter in body,
with a fruitier fragrance than other sakes.

* Daiginjo-shu: This extremely smooth, very fragrant, and
light-tasting sake is made with the best sake rice,
with about 50 percent of the grain remaining. Made with
or without a little alcohol, this sake is expensive and
much sought after.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Oh, Behave!

Fixing a behavior problem in a pet is rarely a matter of reacting
only to the problem, be it biting, barking, scent-marking, or
feather-picking. Good behavior builds from within, and that's
especially true with creatures as intelligent as birds. When
you're in the company of a bird who's a well-behaved member of
the family, chances are you're looking at a pet who gets plenty
of positive attention, eats properly, is in good health, is
well-trained, and gets a good amount of exercise. After all, a
relationship is kind of like a house, in that a sturdy one always
starts with a good foundation. With your bird, the time is always
right to bolster the groundwork.

Food, Home & Garden: Winterizing Your Evergreens

2004-10-24T23:09:00.001-07:00

*******************************************************
DUMMIES eTIPS: Food, Home & Garden
http://etips.dummies.com

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Winterizing Your Evergreens

Just because evergreens retain their color throughout the cold
season, that doesn't mean they don't need some protection from
the damaging effects of ice, snow, and freezing wind. Here are
some winterizing pointers to keep your evergreens safe.

* Prevent drying. Narrow and broadleaf evergreens lose
moisture through their leaves in winter. Plant roots
can't absorb moisture from the soil in winter because
the soil may be frozen and therefore can't replace the
moisture the leaves lose. The foliage desiccates, turns
brown, and may drop, which can be serious with
evergreen azalea, holly, boxwood, and rhododendron.
Make sure the soil in which evergreens are growing is
well watered in mid to late autumn, before the soil
freezes. If the landscape where evergreens are located
is in a dry site (like sandy soil or under the overhang
of a roof), also make sure that the soil is well
watered in midwinter if the temperature is above
freezing.

* Wrap with twine. Plants such as arborvitae, juniper,
and yew often suffer damage from the weight of snow or
ice. Prevent plant breakage by fastening heavy twine at
the base of the plant and winding it spirally around
and upward to the top and back down in a reverse
spiral. This technique is more necessary as plants
become larger and begin to open at the top. Be certain
to remove the twine during the growing season.

* Use burlap screen. Stretch a section of burlap around
three stakes to protect young or not fully hardy plants
that are located in south, west, and windward
exposures. A burlap wrap with stakes protects plants
from the drying winter sun and wind, as well as drift
from de-icing salts applied to driveways and streets.
Wrap most of the plant, but leave some of the top of
the plant exposed. Evergreen plants need light, even in
winter.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Got That Globus Sensation?

Imagine these situations: You're about to stand up to give a
report at the department meeting, the movie you're watching comes
to a really scary part, or your best friend tells you how much
you mean to him. And suddenly you're all choked up.

If you get choked up often enough, you may begin to wonder if
something serious is going on. After your doctor excludes such
unpleasant possibilities as esophageal spasms, reflux, myasthenia
gravis (progressive loss of muscle power), or a tumor in your
neck or throat, what's left is globus, a stress-related lump in
the throat.

Doctors don't have a medical treatment for globus, but
understanding the emotional link may help relieve the stress.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Weather or Not: Flying with Your Pet

Before they accept animals for transport, all airlines want to
make sure that the weather is not too hot or too cold before they
take off and when they land in another city. This precaution is
for the pet's safety. Often, planes have to wait on the tarmac
before taking off, and the temperature inside the plane and the
cargo section isn't controlled during those times.

When you make your reservations, check the airline policy on the
weather restriction because airlines frequently change their
policies. They don't take animals if they decide it's too hot or
too cold where you're landing. Take this into consideration when
you schedule your flight. It may be safer in the long run to take
a red-eye, or late-night, flight so that you can travel in the
coolest part of the day.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Parenting without Being Part of a Pair

You're a single parent trying to do the best job possible raising
your kids. In the process, it's only natural to stumble now and
then. Single parents often make these common mistakes. Forewarned
is forearmed!

* Pressing your child to heap more and more onto his
plate.

* Encouraging your kids to be your private detectives.

* Labeling your kids.

* Denying yourself a social life.

* Allowing your kids' traits to ring your bell.

* Getting sucked into power plays.

* Being a poor role model.

* Expecting your children to deliver messages to your ex.

* Allowing your kids to con you into buying things for
them.

* Failing to establish boundaries in your children's
behavior.

* Refusing to consider professional therapy for yourself
or your children.

Raising kids is an art - not a science - so try not to
overreact to every little crisis. If you do, you wear yourself
out physically and emotionally. Here's a great word of advice:
Choose your battles wisely! That way you have energy left over
for the things that really matter. And here's a word of
encouragement: Messing up once in a while isn't fatal. You can
learn from mistakes and go on from there.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Kitten Health Concerns: Nothing to Sneeze At

All kittens are more susceptible to disease than adult cats, but
because orphans don't benefit from their mom's immune system
they're leading candidates for upper respiratory infections. As
soon as you notice sniffles or sneezing, take your orphan to the
vet. You can't begin treatment too soon with kittens so
vulnerable.

Feline calicivirus and feline herpesvirus are the two most common
kitten colds. Like a human cold, the viruses themselves can't be
treated, but the symptoms can be managed, so get him to a vet
before the snotty nose gets too severe.

If your vet has prescribed medication, be sure and give it for as
long as he's recommended. If you stop medicating too soon, you
leave some of the stronger bacteria alive in your kitten's body.
When they reproduce, they come back with a vengeance.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Marathoners Mantra: Think Drink

Ordinary people need to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluids per
day. Marathoners need more than that: a minimum of 80 ounces of
fluids (including about 30 ounces of a noncarbonated sports
drink) every day - more if you can tolerate it. You
absolutely need fluids to push toxins out of your body and
rehydrate muscles.

To save money, buy Gatorade powder and mix it up yourself. If you
buy the huge cans of powder at price clubs, you can make it about
80 times cheaper than if you buy it already prepared.

Food, Home & Garden: Keep Halloween Safe

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Keep Halloween Safe

Many elements of Halloween decorating can pose hazards to
unsuspecting visitors. Here are a few safety tips to keep handy
when preparing for Halloween.

* Clean up your mess. Do your pumpkin carving on
absorbent newspaper and scoop those pumpkinseeds and
slimy innards into a bowl.

* Say "no, no," to knives. Don't let your
children handle sharp carving knives, and keep an eye
on the kids while you're carving. If possible, purchase
specific tools that are geared just for pumpkin carving
(for your safety, too!). If the kids really want to
participate in the carving, you can let them make the
pattern or poke in the pumpkin flesh after you've done
the carving.

* Reconsider the candles. If you're going to have many
children around, nix the candles. It's just too much of
a fire hazard. Instead, buy a bunch of glow sticks
(readily available at any party supply or discount
store) and place them inside your jack-o'-lanterns.
They cast an eerie green glow and are safe all around.

* If you do decide to use candles, never leave one
unattended, and never leave burning candles where
children (or people who act like children) can reach
them or accidentally knock them over.

* Keep a fire extinguisher handy. You never know when a
gourd will go up in smoke (no, that's not a special
effect).

* Secure the perimeters. Make sure that all props
hanging, dangling, draped, staked, or set are steadily
secured. Where there will be foot traffic, tape down
loose wires with duct tape. You don't want people to
trip. And check these places often during the course of
the evening for any loose edges that need retaping.

* Follow the package directions. If a package of lights
says that they're only for indoor use, don't string
them outside. Read the fog machine directions. Take
every precaution when it comes to decorating with
materials you're not familiar with.

Health & Fitness: Identifying Asthma Triggers at Home

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Identifying Asthma Triggers at Home

Indoor environments at home, work, and school and in cars as well
as other enclosed means of transportation can often provide far
more significant sources of asthma triggers than the outdoors,
because most enclosures concentrate irritants and allergens.

The most significant irritant triggers of asthma in many
households are

* Tobacco smoke.

* Fumes and scents from household cleaners, strongly
scented soaps, perfumes, glues, and aerosols.

* Smoke from wood-burning appliances or fireplaces.

* Fumes from unvented gas, oil, or kerosene stoves.

Other sources of indoor air pollution include pollens and mold
spores that get inside, especially on windy days when windows and
doors are open. These allergenic materials can also infiltrate
your home via your clothing and hair. In fact, if you have
allergic asthma, you may wake up congested and wheezing in the
morning because allergenic materials find their way into your
house so easily. (The pollen or mold spores in your hair probably
wound up on your pillow, so you spent the night breathing those
allergens into your lungs.)

Allergy-proof your home and avoid asthma triggers with the
insight in Asthma For Dummies

Food, Home & Garden: Spicy Pumpkin and Corn Chowder

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Spicy Pumpkin and Corn Chowder

Spicy Pumpkin and Corn Chowder is a terrific soup for chilly fall
or winter days. Cayenne intensifies the longer the soup is
stored, so if you prepare it ahead or plan to freeze it, use a
smaller amount of cayenne than called for, about 1/8 to 1/4
teaspoon.

Spicy Pumpkin and Corn Chowder

Yield: 6 to 8

Level: Easy

Tools: Food processor or blender

Preparation time: 10 to 15 minutes

Cooking time: 35 to 45 minutes

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

6 scallions, white part only, sliced (reserve chopped greens
for garnish)

2 plump cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, about 1-inch piece

2 cups chicken broth

2 cups canned pureed pumpkin or pureed cooked butternut
squash

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne or to taste

2 cups frozen corn kernels

1/2 cup cream, half-and-half, or milk

Finely grated zest of 1 small to medium lemon

Salt to taste, about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon

Homemade bacon bits (optional)

1. In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add
the scallions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until
tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and
cook, stirring, for 1 minute

2. Add the chicken broth, pumpkin, and cayenne. Increase the
heat to medium. Simmer, partially covered, for 15 to 20
minutes.

3. Meanwhile, cook the corn kernels according to package
directions. Drain off any liquid. Place the corn in a food
processor or blender, add the cream, and pulse until a thick
puree forms.

4. Add the corn puree to the pumpkin soup. Add the lemon
zest and salt, and stir to blend. Heat thoroughly over
medium heat for about 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with the
reserved scallion greens and bacon bits (if desired).

Note: To make butternut puree, peel a 2-pound butternut squash.
Cut in half, remove the seeds, and cube. Steam or boil the
butternut, or cook it in the microwave, until tender. Puree in a
food processor or blender until smooth, along with a very small
amount of broth if necessary. Makes approximately 2 cups of
puree.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): The Scoop on Poop

In the couple of decades since urban areas started fining people
for failing to pick up after their dogs, a zillion products have
come and gone in an effort to make the task easier and less
disgusting. The latter is just not possible. The only thing that
helps is time, over which you get so used to the feel of warm dog
poop that your stomach doesn't even shimmy anymore.

Forget the long-handle gizmos. The easiest way to get the job
done is with a plastic bag. Fold-over sandwich bags are fine for
small dogs, but for larger ones use plastic grocery bags, which
tie off nicely at the top. In either case, here's how it works:

Pull the bag over your hand like a loose mitten, then pick up the
poop. Pull the outer edges of the bag over your hand while still
holding the poop, until your hand ends up on the outside of the
bag and the mess is inside. Then close, either by flipping the
flap or tying the tie, and drop in the closest garbage can.

protecting, pampering, and living happily with your pet.

Food, Home & Garden: Prep Your Garden for Winter

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Prep Your Garden for Winter

If you live in a cold-winter climate, don't fertilize your plants
after midsummer. Fertilizer encourages plants to put on soft new
growth, which is really vulnerable to frost damage. The onset of
winter is the time to do a few things to protect your plants, if
frosts and snows are an annual feature of your backyard:

* Water less frequently. Cutting down on water helps
signal to the plants that they need to toughen up and
hunker down for winter.

* Dig and store tender bulbs after the first frost has
blackened the foliage.

* Cut back the stems on perennials (at least the ones
that don't have pretty seedheads) to within 8 to 10
inches (20 to 26 cm) of the ground. In really severe
winter climates - where the temperature is often
below 0deg. F (-18deg. C), don't cut back your
perennials until late winter or early spring. The
debris helps protect them from the cold.

* Water the flowerbed once a month in dry-winter
climates, whenever snow or rain hasn't fallen in recent
memory. Water on a warm, sunny day, so that the water
can soak into the ground.

* Replace mulch from under any perennials that were
besieged by insects during the growing season. Getting
rid of the mulch also gets rid of any eggs.

* For perennials that you planted in late summer and
fall, add a 4- to 6-inch (10- to 15-cm) layer of
organic mulch. Let leaves that fall into the flowerbed
stay where they land to add to the mulch layer.

* Cover your whole flowerbed with a loose mulch of hay,
straw, or evergreen boughs after the ground freezes (or
in midwinter if the ground doesn't freeze). This extra
layer protects your fragile perennials from severe
cold. Leave this mulch in place until early spring and
then remove it gradually as the weather starts to warm
up.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Doggy Crates Â They Love 'em

Dogs who are used to crates love them. Crates are both a
comfortable place for a dog to sleep and an invaluable training
tool. It's a room of their own, cozy and secure, so much so that
many dogs seek out their crates voluntarily. To increase
comfort, you can buy pads to fit the floor or crates, make your
own without too much difficulty, tuck a washable blanket inside Â
or you can just leave them empty, especially in warm weather.

Need another reason to buy a crate? In times of disaster Â
floods, earthquakes, hurricanes Â a crate can save your pet's
life by keeping him secure and providing you with alternatives
should you have to evacuate your home. The cages of veterinary
hospitals and animal shelters adjacent to a disaster area fill up
quickly, but there's always room for the pet that brings his own
shelter.

For more on sheltering options for your dog, pick up a copy of

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Prostate Cancer Doesn't Mean Permanent Disability

Many men continue to work after being treated for prostate
cancer, while some take four to six weeks off (or longer) to
recover from surgery or other treatments. Some men decide to
retire - a decision they may have been delaying before the
diagnosis of prostate cancer. If you have prostate cancer and
you're a military veteran who served in Vietnam during the
Vietnam War, you may be eligible for disability compensation from
the Veterans Administration.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): An Ounce of Prevention . . .

In the United States, cats now surpass dogs in the number of
rabies cases reported each year. Fortunately, these numbers are
still low: The disease is always fatal for both animals and
humans after symptoms begin to show. In medical history, only
three people have survived rabies.

It can take between a week and a year for an unvaccinated cat
bitten by a rabid animal to start showing symptoms. Infected cats
become highly aggressive or weak and paralytic. They're extremely
dangerous and very quick. They frequently snap at imaginary
objects and attack anything that comes near them. They also have
difficulty swallowing.

Always keep your kitten current on his rabies shots. If a rabid
animal bites your kitten and he's not current on his shots, he'll
most likely be euthanized and his head sent to a lab for testing.
Unfortunately, the only way to determine if an animal is rabid is
by laboratory examination of the brain tissue.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Knowing about Neutral Spine

Neutral Spine is one of the more subtle yet powerful principles
in Pilates. It belongs to the less-is-more approach to movement,
like most of the fundamental concepts underlying the Pilates
method.

Here's how you can feel Neutral Spine: Lie on your back with your
knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Your spine should
have two areas that do not touch the mat underneath you: your
neck and your lower back (the cervical spine and lumbar spine,
respectively). These natural curves in your back function to
absorb shock when you're standing, running, jumping, or simply
walking around town. When you sit, it's important to maintain the
natural curves in your spine to prevent lower back and neck
strain. Neutral Spine is basically universal proper posture.

Pets: A Felon on Your Hands?

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): A Felon on Your Hands?

Ferrets would make excellent crooks if they weren't so darned
blatant about their thieving ways. It's absolutely normal,
although sometimes annoying, for ferrets to steal small objects
and carry them off to their secret hidey-holes. Remember, their
name appropriately means "thief." (In fact, in several
plays written about 2,500 years ago, Aristophanes made fun of
political opponents by calling them ferrets, implying they stole
public trust and funds in the same way ferrets stole bits of meat
and shiny objects.)

Almost anything the ferret can grab with his paws or carry in his
mouth is fair game. From food to cigarette butts, you'll find the
most unusual collections of goodies in the most unusual places.
Purses, pockets, and backpacks are frequent targets for ferret
raids. If you value anything they may steal, such as car keys,
shoes, and jewelry, keep these items up high or out of the
ferret's play area altogether.

Hoarding is one of the ferret's most endearing traits, but it can
lead to trouble. One ferret may favor certain items while another
favors completely different items. Some stolen items are big,
while others are dangerously small. Remember this characteristic
about your ferret when you go about ferret-proofing. Small items
can be ingested and cause blockages.

Has a ferret burrowed his way into your heart? Find insight into
your pet in Ferrets For Dummies

Food, Home & Garden: Think Resale Value When Car-Buying

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Think Resale Value When Car-Buying

Just as with buying a home, resale value is an important
consideration when buying a vehicle. You want a car that has a
good resale value or that depreciates the least over time. A good
resale value makes the car worth more later, whether you plan to
sell it or trade it in for another vehicle. When you're choosing
options and features, keep in mind that some actually increase
the car's resale value, while others decrease it.

The following features have a positive effect on resale price:

* Adjustable steering wheels

* Air-conditioning

* Antilock brakes and other safety options, like air bags

* Automatic transmission

* Leather upholstery

* Power steering and adjustable steering wheels

* Power windows and door locks

* Remote-entry and antitheft systems

* Sunroof or moonroof

* Traction control

Custom wheels, high-tech sound systems, programmable seats, and
built-in phones are attractive only to fellow enthusiasts, and
wild colors (except for red) are generally a turnoff.

Food, Home & Garden: Easy Sunday Dinner: Pot Roast

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Easy Sunday Dinner: Pot Roast

This pressure-cooker recipe is the starting point for good pot
roast. It's a very simple and basic recipe. You can add
vegetables if you want or leave them out. Regardless, the meat
always comes out tender and flavorful, with plenty of gravy for
spooning over mashed potatoes or noodles.

Sunday Pot Roast

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 60 minutes under pressure

Pressure level: High

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

3- to 4-pound boneless, trimmed chuck or rump roast

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, sliced

1 bay leaf

1-1/2 cups beef broth, red wine, water, or any combination

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Rub into the roast.

2. Heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker over high heat.
Add the roast and brown evenly on all sides.

3. Add the onion and cook for 1 minute. Add the bay leaf.
Remove the meat to a platter or dish. Place the steaming
basket in the pressure cooker. Place the browned meat in the
steaming basket. Add the beef broth.

4. Cover and bring to high pressure over high heat. Lower
the heat to stabilize the pressure. Cook for 60 minutes.

5. Remove from the heat. Release the pressure with a
quick-release method. Unlock and remove the cover. Test the
roast with a fork. The fork should penetrate easily. If not
tender, cover and cook under pressure for an additional 10
minutes.

6. Remove the roast and the steaming basket. Cover and let
sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

7. If the gravy isn't thick enough, bring to a boil,
uncovered, and cook until reduced. Season with salt and
pepper. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Slice the roast
against the grain and serve with the gravy.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): What's Up, Doc?

One way to check out your potential doctor's reputation is to ask
another doctor, particularly one who lives in the same area.
Doctors within a specialty, especially one as small as
reproductive endocrinology, usually know one another. Although
doctors are usually reluctant to criticize other doctors, you can
tell a lot by noticing whether his eyebrows go up and down or
whether you detect a notable lack of enthusiasm when you mention
the doctor's name.

A negative or neutral reaction doesn't always mean that you
should pass on that doctor. Some doctors are less mainstream in
their thinking, so the majority of practitioners may frown on
their practices. Such a doctor, however, may be exactly the type
of person you're looking for.

Pets: Consider an Older Kitten

*******************************************************
DUMMIES eTIPS: Pets
http://etips.dummies.com

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Consider an Older Kitten

If you're considering adopting your first kitten and you think a
young kitten may have too much energy for you to handle, consider
bringing home an older kitten - someone 8 months old or even
older. Older kittens tend to have better manners and established
litter box habits.

In addition, older kittens will

* Have an established personality: If you have a special
personality in mind, you may be happier with an older
kitten. Young kittens start out cute and affectionate,
but as they get older, their personalities can change.
Your lap kitten may develop into an independent cat or
a clingy cat who hovers under your feet all the time.
An older kitten comes with a more established
personality.

* Be less destructive: Don't expect to be able to keep
your collection of Hummels or toy mini cars on the
coffee table with a young kitten in the house. Young
kittens can turn today's treasures into Tuesday's trash
faster than you can repeat this sentence. Although
older kittens still have energy and can get into
mischief, you're likely to have fewer headaches than
you will with a kitten going through adolescence.

* Be more affectionate: When a kitten reaches 9 or 10
months old and that wild energy has toned back some,
he's more interested in spending time with you. Kittens
go through adolescence just like kids. They also go
through that, "Don't touch/hold me" stage.
After they go through that stage, they're usually more
interested in you.

training, and more in Kittens For Dummies

Pets: What's that Lump on My Dog?

*******************************************************
DUMMIES eTIPS: Pets
http://etips.dummies.com

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): What's that Lump on My Dog?

Not every canine lump or tumor heralds the onset of cancer.
Plenty of abnormal swellings, lumps, or bumps are basically
harmless, or at least, not very serious. If your senior dog is
diagnosed with one of the tumors in the following list, you can
rest easy.

* Lipomas: These soft, spongy lumps are nothing more than
a harmless accumulation of fat cells and are often
called "fatty tumors." Lipomas usually don't appear
until a dog is middle-aged or older.

* Warts: If your dog develops one or more lumps that look
like cauliflower, chances are he has plain old warts.
They're not serious, but you can't do much about them,
other than let nature take its course. Sometimes,
however, a growth that looks like a wart can be a
cancerous tumor, so have your vet look at any wart your
pooch has.

* Hematomas: A blood-filled lump may appear on the ear of
a dog who's been shaking her head a lot, and has thus
caused fragile blood vessels to break. This lump, or
hematoma, needs a vet's attention, not only to drain
the lump itself but also to deal with the ear infection
or parasites that may have triggered the head-shaking
in the first place.

* Sebaceous cysts: These red bumps may remind you of the
zits you may have had as a teenager, but they're
completely different. Sebaceous cysts aren't filled
with pus; they're filled with keratin (a protein that
looks a bit like cheese). They're not serious, but they
can be uncomfortable, so have your vet either drain the
cysts or remove them altogether.

Remember, however, that even if a lump appears to be harmless,
you need a vet's evaluation to confirm your hunch. If your senior
dog sports a lump you haven't seen before, call your vet.

Food, Home & Garden: Core Aeration for Your Lawn

2004-09-06T01:05:00.000-07:00

*******************************************************
DUMMIES eTIPS: Food, Home & Garden

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Core Aeration for Your Lawn

Aerating your lawn breaks through the thatch layer, enables the
roots to breathe, and improves water and nutrient penetration.
The process also helps break down thatch by providing a better
habitat for the microorganisms that do those sorts of things.
Aerating annually, in late summer or early fall, is one of the
best things you can do for your lawn, thatch or no thatch.

Signs that your lawn needs to be aerated include

* Worn areas where people walk often

* Water puddles after irrigating

* Water runs off the lawn after only a few minutes of
watering

* Parts of the lawn that just can't seem to keep moist

The most effective type of aerating is with a gas-powered machine
called a core aerator that pulls out small cores (or plugs) of
grass and soil. Other aerators use short spikes to punch holes in
the turf. Spiking isn't nearly as effective as core aerating, but
it's better than nothing. You can find aerators at your local
tool-rental center.

When you aerate, strive for an even 3- to 4-inch spacing between
holes throughout the lawn. To do so, you must make two passes in
different directions. Make sure that the soil is slightly moist
- not too wet or too dry. Set the aerator to pull out cores
that are about 3 inches long, which end up all over the lawn.
Rake up the cores if they bother you; however, if you leave them,
the cores break down quickly and the nutrients return to the
lawn. After aerating, water and fertilize the lawn.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Put Fire Safety into Practice with Preschoolers

Children under age 5 are at the greatest risk during fires. But
fire safety takes practice. Start giving your preschooler the
following fire safety messages now.

* Stay away from items that cause intense heat and
flames, such as matches and candles.

* Always give matches and lighters you find to an adult.

* Never touch hot appliances, such as oven burners and
space heaters.

* Practice fire drills that role-play two safe ways to
leave the house.

* Know the sound of a smoke alarm and tell an adult if it
rings. If fire or smoke block your way to an adult,
leave the house.

* Keep a door closed that feels hot.

* Crawl on the floor where air is clearer of smoke.

* Never hide to get away from fire or smoke. Stay low to
breathe easier but where firefighters can find you.

* Stop, drop, and roll to put out fire on clothing.

* Know where to meet your family safely away from the
house, such as under the side tree or behind the
garage, and stay away from the burning building after
you're out. Let firefighters retrieve the pets.

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Fiber: Building Block of Good Nutrition

Fiber is an important component of dog and cat food. It provides
bulk to the food and helps the intestinal contents absorb water,
which results in formed stools that are readily expelled. If a
food has too little fiber, the dog may have loose stools, because
there is nothing to help the stools form. If a food has too much
fiber, it will pass much more quickly through the
gastrointestinal system, making digestion less efficient and the
stools hard and compacted.

Health & Fitness: Identifying Asthma Triggers at Home

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Identifying Asthma Triggers at Home

Indoor environments at home, work, and school and in cars as well
as other enclosed means of transportation can often provide far
more significant sources of asthma triggers than the outdoors,
because most enclosures concentrate irritants and allergens.

The most significant irritant triggers of asthma in many
households are

* Tobacco smoke.

* Fumes and scents from household cleaners, strongly
scented soaps, perfumes, glues, and aerosols.

* Smoke from wood-burning appliances or fireplaces.

* Fumes from unvented gas, oil, or kerosene stoves.

Other sources of indoor air pollution include pollens and mold
spores that get inside, especially on windy days when windows and
doors are open. These allergenic materials can also infiltrate
your home via your clothing and hair. In fact, if you have
allergic asthma, you may wake up congested and wheezing in the
morning because allergenic materials find their way into your
house so easily. (The pollen or mold spores in your hair probably
wound up on your pillow, so you spent the night breathing those
allergens into your lungs.)

Allergy-proof your home and avoid asthma triggers with the
insight in Asthma For Dummies

Food, Home & Garden: Gas-Line Safety Tips

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Gas-Line Safety Tips

Of all emergency preparedness efforts, gas lines deserve extra
consideration-both in the event of natural disasters and for
day-to-day living. If not properly installed, monitored, and
maintained, natural gas is without question the most potentially
dangerous item in your home. Gas can cause instant flash fires
and devastating explosions that can result from negligence and
carelessness.

Here are some safety tips to remember:

* Don't pour concrete or put asphalt around the rigid gas
delivery pipe leading to the meter. This pipe must
remain in soft and pliable dirt to safely ride out any
seismic activity.

* An exposed gas meter is always susceptible to damage or
being dislodged by contact. For protection from
housework and gardening, and to keep gas meters near
driveways and sidewalks from being hit, place two heavy
metal pipes in concrete (much like you would set a
fence post) in front of and on both sides of the gas
meter.

* To keep the gas line shutoff wrench handy and easily
accessible in a gas emergency, attach it to the main
line at the shutoff valve with a piece of chain and a
hose clamp. If you ever have to close the main gas
valve, rotate the bar on the valve only one-quarter
turn so that it runs across the gas line (closed)
rather than parallel to it (open).

* Inspect all gas line connections in your home. Those
leading to appliances, furnaces, and water heaters
should only be a corrugated stainless steel or a new
epoxy-coated flexible connector with a shut off valve
where it meets the solid gas delivery line.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Play It Safe with Pet Products

You may think a flea product designed to be safe for dogs and
puppies is likewise safe for your cat. As solid as that reasoning
may seem, however, it's wrong - dead wrong.

Never use a flea-control product designed for dogs on your cat.
Many people tend to take these products lightly, but insecticides
are designed to walk a very fine line: enough toxins to kill the
parasites but not enough to endanger the pet. A product
engineered to meet these challenges for dogs may not do so for
cats. Check the label. Ask your veterinarian. Call the
manufacturer before using any product. Your cat's life is at
stake.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Sparkling Fruit Punch

A light, bright fruit punch such as this one is perfect for
afternoon parties. It's festive and pretty, yet it's low enough
in alcohol that guests won't fall asleep in the punch bowl. Have
spoons handy for nibbling on the fruit.

Sparkling Fruit Punch

Preparation time: 7 minutes, plus 20 minutes cooling time
and chilling time

Yield: 12 to 16 servings

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

1 bottle sparkling wine (such as Cava, from Spain)

6 cups chopped and seeded watermelon

1 cup chopped mango or papaya

1 cup chopped pineapple

1. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a
boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the syrup is
clear, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.

2. Stir together the syrup and sparkling wine in a punch
bowl. Add the watermelon, mango or papaya, and pineapple and
chill the punch before serving.

This punch is the perfect place to pour that inexpensive
champagne that may be lurking in the cupboard. After you mix
it with the fruits and sugar, no one will be the wiser.

Health & Fitness: Be Good to Your Bones

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Be Good to Your Bones

Women don't automatically sprout a dowager's hump as they age.
Vertebrae only collapse and result in spinal humps in some cases
of osteoporosis (brittle bone disease).

If you don't want to acquire a hump, you need to begin
strengthening your bones early in life by getting lots of calcium
in your diet and exercise in your day. Osteoporosis is largely
treatable with medicine and can often be prevented with the help
of good nutrition, exercise, and calcium substitutes.

If your bones are in bad shape as you approach menopause, several
drugs that can slow bone deterioration are on the market. The
estrogen in hormone therapy also is very effective at slowing the
rate of bone loss. A non-pharmaceutical approach to avoiding a
hump is to add some regular strength-building exercises to your
week.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Aerobic Fitness without Impact

You help your heart and lungs get stronger and healthier by doing
mind-body exercises - a little or a lot depending on what
you do and how you do it. But you won't, or at least you
shouldn't, hurt. No grinding knees, complaining backs, pulled
hamstrings, or any of those other miseries often brought on by
high-impact exercise. And, here's that nice plus again: Being
more fit can mean more calorie-burn, too, since toned and fit
muscles demand more calories than fat does.

Pets: Thinking about Holistic Veterinary Medicine

DUMMIES eTIPS: Pets
http://etips.dummies.com

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Thinking about Holistic Veterinary Medicine

Acupuncture, acupressure, homeopathic remedies, natural foods
- all are today available to pets as well as people. Many
breeders and pet owners who struggle with a constant plague of
health and fertility problems have found relief by using natural
foods, herbal remedies, and holistic medicine. They use herbal
products to treat everything from allergies, insect bites,
bruises, digestive upset, and whelping problems to fleas and
internal parasites, and they claim to do so successfully.

Acupuncture and acupressure are often used on dogs (by licensed
practitioners) to treat arthritis and arthritic symptoms,
seizures and other ailments, and even immune problems.

Massage therapy, a relative of acupressure, will strengthen the
circulation and flow of energy in your dog, and it's something
you can do yourself for free. Geriatric dogs especially benefit
from a good massage.

Proponents of holistic veterinary medicine stress that natural
remedies should not replace traditional medical care for serious
illnesses, but they definitely have one foot in each medical
camp. This is an area of canine care that's worth exploring.
Start with a good book on holistic medicine and decide for
yourself.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Plain Talk on Plantains

Both bananas and plantains, a type of banana, have been used
traditionally to help prevent and heal ulcers of the stomach and
upper intestine. (Plantains have a squashlike flavor and in South
America, Africa, and India are eaten like potatoes.) While
scientific results are mixed on whether bananas are actually
protective, plantains are clearly proven to be an effective
anti-ulcer food. Unripe, green plantains are especially
therapeutic. Try using fully ripe plantains for this recipe,
which makes a sweet and garlicky accompaniment for black beans
and rice, a classic Caribbean combo!

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

Yield: 6 generous servings

1. Preheat oven to 375deg..

2. Peel the plantains and cut each lengthwise and then in
half crosswise. Arrange in 1 layer in a baking dish.

3. Drizzle with olive oil and evenly distribute minced
garlic.

4. Bake in oven until golden, about 25 minutes.

Food, Home & Garden: Why Is Lawn Thatch Bad?

2004-08-08T22:27:00.000-07:00

DUMMIES eTIPS: Food, Home & Garden

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Why Is Lawn Thatch Bad?

Excessive thatch is a common problem in many lawns. Thatch is a
layer of organic matter that forms between the grass blades and
the soil line. The organic matter consists of tightly woven,
living and dead grass stems, roots, and crowns. These parts of
the grass plants are high in lignin, an organic material that
breaks down slowly. In most healthy lawns, those parts do break
down.

A little bit of thatch - less than 1/2 inch - isn't
bad. The thin layer cushions the turf, reduces soil compaction,
and helps conserve moisture. But if the layer gets over a 1/2
inch, then thatch is real trouble. (Thatch can get several inches
thick.)

A thick layer of thatch between grass blades and soil blocks the
movement of air, water, and nutrients to grass roots. This
condition results in a shallow-rooted lawn. Such lawns are
sensitive to drought, heat, and cold. A shallow-rooted lawn dries
out quickly, and because thatch can repel water, getting moisture
to the root is difficult. Thatch also can result in a spongy,
bumpy lawn that you can easily scalp when you mow. If shallow
roots and scalping aren't bad enough, thatchy lawns are also more
susceptible to insects and disease.

You can start to tell you're getting a thick layer of thatch if
the lawn feels spongy when you walk on it. To check, remove a
small wedge of the lawn (go deep enough to get some soil) with a
knife or shovel. You can see the thatch when you examine the
turf. The thatch is the spongy layer of brownish, peat-moss-like
stuff below the grass blades and above the soil. The thicker the
thatch, the faster your lawn goes downhill.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): The Inside Scoop on Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis is the most feared of all feline parasites because
of what it can do to a developing human fetus. Although cats and
kittens do pass the organism in their poop, a few common sense
sanitary habits can protect you. Be sure to do the following if
you're pregnant:

* Keep your cat indoors.

* Feed dry or canned food, or if you feed a raw diet, use
only freeze-dried raw food.

* Immediately dispose of any prey your cat may catch or
kill.

* Wear gloves when gardening, in case you come in contact
with infected cat poop.

* Have the boxes cleaned daily. Toxoplasmosis takes 24
hours to become infectious.

* After cleaning the litter box, wash your hands for at
least 20 seconds with soap and water.

* Avoid handling stray cats or kittens.

training, and more in Kittens For Dummies

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Hot to Trot: Doggone Warm Summertime Walking

During summer months, exercise your dog before sunup or after
sundown to avoid pad blistering and other heat-related
conditions. On very hot and humid days, let her sit one out in
the comfort of air conditioning. She may not be too pleased with
you, but it's for her own good.

If you must walk with your dog during daylight hours, stick to
the shady routes. Dogs are susceptible to sunburn, especially
shorthaired breeds and light-colored dogs, so slather sunscreen
on the tip of his nose, over his tummy, and on any other place
where he doesn't have an abundance of fur.

Dogs have no sweat glands, so they don't get soaked like we
humans when they exercise. Their version of sweating is panting,
and they lose a lot of moisture this way, so you need to keep
them properly hydrated during exercise. Carry a water bottle and
a cup and offer your dog a drink every 15 minutes or so.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Foil the Oil Spoil

Aquariums in the reception area help set the right tone for any
business. The movement of the fish is calming, relaxing, and
welcoming as a distraction to any worries (like that root canal
you're waiting to have at the dentist's). Aquariums are a Water
element and can seem nurturing and supportive to visitors.

Here are some important details to keep in mind as you design
your soothing escape:

* Make certain the aquarium is in proportion to the room.

* It should be large enough for the fish to swim easily.

* Stock it with natural materials instead of plastic
plants and artificial seaweed.

* Don't let the water get murky, keep the aquarium glass
clean, and when a fish goes belly-up, dispose of it
immediately. Otherwise, you create a bad impression and
may negatively affect chi.

Traditionally, Feng Shui aquariums are stocked with nine (a lucky
number) fish, eight gold and one black. The black one
symbolically attracts negative energy so that it doesn't go
elsewhere in the building.

Food, Home & Garden: Have a Great Garage Sale

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Have a Great Garage Sale

There's nothing like a garage sale to turn clutter into cash
flow. The trick is to give garage sales Â not go to them
yourself. Whether you're selling from the garage of your house or
out on the front lawn of your apartment complex, here are a few
ways to make your garage sales great.

* Bagging and Boxing. Start collecting paper and plastic
grocery bags as soon as you decide to have a sale so
that your best customers have a way to carry their loot
away. Also, assemble as many boxes as you can to use
for display. Pile one full of stuffed animals, or stand
an open box on its side to act like a bookcase. Arrange
the books with the spines out. As boxes are emptied,
give them to buyers to carry their purchases.

* Collecting and Marking. A week in advance, collect
everything you plan to sell in one room so you can see
what you have and start pricing. Group like items
together Â clothes in one place, toys in another,
jewelry in a third Â and decide the selling price.

Give yourself at least two days to price and mark
everything. Start with a sheet of paper and a general price
list: T-shirts $2, pants $3, games $4. Once you have your
list, mark each item with colored stickers. You can use
different colors for different dollar amounts, or code them
to family members or neighbors if you plan to divide up the
proceeds by sales of individual items.

* Changing Money. Go to the bank the day before the sale
and buy two rolls each of quarters, dimes, and nickels,
and at least 20 $1 bills. Find a covered box to use for
cash; one with dividers or sections is best for keeping
different denominations sorted out. Write down your
initial change amount on a slip of paper and store it
in the box so you can subtract it from the total to
figure your profit at the end of the day. As soon the
box hits $50, start taking additional cash into the
house.

Health & Fitness: Hot Diggety Dog!

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Hot Diggety Dog!

No one knows for sure when the first frankfurter appeared in
America, but the best bet is that it was first served under that
name in St. Louis in the 1880s by a German immigrant named
Antoine Feuchtwanger, whose principal contribution was the soft
roll.

The fame of the frank really took off in 1901 after Harry Magely,
director of catering at New York City's Polo Grounds (where the
New York Giants used to play), exhorted customers to "Get
your red hots!" and served the frankfurters on a heated roll
with various condiments.

The term "hot dog" was coined by Hearst Newspaper
sports cartoonist Tad Dorgan, who often caricatured German
figures as dachshunds and, as of 1906, as talking sausages.

So widespread was the name "hot dog" that, to calm
patrons' fears, Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Stand in Coney Island,
Brooklyn, New York, put up a sign explaining that its sausages
did not contain any dog meat.

Pets: Treats Can Be Tricky

2004-07-26T06:49:00.000-07:00

*******************************************************
DUMMIES eTIPS: Pets
http://etips.dummies.com

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Treats Can Be Tricky

An occasional treat doesn't hurt your kitten as long as she's
otherwise eating a balanced diet. Choose goodies that don't have
sugars. Licks of turkey baby food (onion-free), dried liver, or
small pieces of cooked chicken or turkey are healthy treats.
They're also inspiring rewards when training your kitten.

Treats and other foods to avoid include

* Tuna: Yes, tuna. Not only is it bad for your kitten,
it's addictive. Kittens love tuna so much that they may
actually refuse to eat a regular diet. Sadly, tuna is
the equivalent of kitty cocaine. In the wild, cats
don't catch fish. No matter whether the tuna you feed
is cooked, raw, or canned, it will cause very serious
deficiencies if fed more than occasionally.

* Dog food: Even if your kitten and your dog get along
like brother and sister, don't feed them the same food.
Kittens are meat eaters whereas dogs are omnivores;
they can eat meat or vegetables. Dog food doesn't have
enough protein and taurine (an essential amino acid)
for a kitten's needs.

* Food with onions or onion powder: These foods can cause
hemolytic anemia, which ruptures the red blood cells.
It could eventually lead to kidney failure.

* Milk: After kittens are weaned, they lose the ability
to digest milk. Milk products may make cleaning the
litter box an adventure in nasal torture for you. If
your kitten likes milk, try milk treat drinks, which
are lower in lactose. You can buy them at your local
pet supply store.

* Bones: Cooked bones can splinter and puncture your
kitten's bowels or intestines or become lodged and
create a blockage.

* Grapes or raisins: The American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Poison
Control doesn't recommend even letting kittens play
with grapes or raisins because the juice can cause
kidney failure.

Alcoholic beverages: You may consider an alcoholic drink a treat
after a long day, but kittens and cocktails don't mix. Drunk
kittens may sound funny, but they could suffer from alcohol
poisoning, slip into a coma, and die. Not very funny at all, is
it?

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Extending a Physician's Reach

Appreciation of the nurse's central helping role in the
healthcare system has led to an extension of the nursing role. A
new category of health professional, commonly called the
"physician extender," has emerged and is growing
rapidly. Physician extenders come in two varieties - nurse
practitioners and physician's assistants. Each has different
training and credentialing, but both play the same role: to
augment the present system. Extra training for physician
extenders allows increased competence. Physician extenders can be
of huge value in making medical help more readily available to
patients, particularly in geriatric medicine.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Cook Up Carrots, Jamaican Style

Spicy and slightly sweet, Jamaican jerk seasonings bring carrots
to life in this recipe. A pressure cooker speeds up the time by
10 minutes. If you are a vegetarian or vegan or want to try
something new and healthy, add diced spicy tofu before serving
and heat. A bright green vegetable and pasta or rice rounds out
the meal. For nonvegetarians, chicken breast or a white fish like
flounder goes well.

Spicy Island Carrots

Preparation/Cooking time: 20 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

1 pound baby carrots, sliced or unsliced, or regular
carrots, sliced

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1. In a medium nonstick saucepan, add the carrots and cover
with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook,
stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the carrots
are tender but still firm. Drain the carrots and transfer to
a bowl.

2. Dry the saucepan and coat with nonstick spray. Add the
brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, lemon juice, cumin, garlic,
and chili powder.

3. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar
bubbles and the spices are fragrant. Add the carrots. Toss
or stir to coat the carrots with the sauce. Season to taste
with salt and pepper.

You can add lots of vegetables to this dish, but keep them small.
Try diced celery, peas, chopped parsley, or chives. You can even
add diced cooked poultry, ham, or beef if you want to use it as
an entree with meat.

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Pets: Prescription for Destressing

Having a pet is a marvelous way of combating your stress.
Convincing data shows that pets can indeed reduce your stress,
and serve as important sources of emotional comfort. The presence
of a pet in the room can put you at ease, evoke feelings of
caring and tenderness, and provide you with a companion. Pets can
lower your blood pressure, make you feel more relaxed, and
distract you from your own day-to-day worries and concerns. And
because they don't complain, have opinions to disagree with, or
know how to operate the television remote, pets trigger less
conflict and friction than do the people who live in your house.
As a bonus, they can even take care of any roach or rodent
problems.

All beef, pork, poultry, and fish have about equal amounts of
cholesterol. It's the very low saturated fat content in some
meats like turkey breast and most fish (but very little beef)
that you look for in healthy food. Choose lean top round, pork
cuts such as Canadian bacon, lean ham, and lean tenderloin to
make them more acceptable healthwise.

Food, Home & Garden: What's Wrong with My Garden Tomato?

2004-07-11T22:31:00.000-07:00

*******************************************************
DUMMIES eTIPS: Food, Home & Garden
http://etips.dummies.com

*******************************************************

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): What's Wrong with My Garden Tomato?

Too much or too little water, excess fertilizer, cold
temperatures, and varietal differences can all contribute to
deformed fruits on your tomato plants. Here are a few of the more
common problems and some solutions.

* Blossom drop: Your tomatoes are flowering beautifully,
but the blossoms all seem to drop without forming any
fruit. Air temperatures above 90 degrees F (32 degrees
C) or below 55 degrees F (12 degrees C) cause this
condition. At these temperatures, most tomato flowers
will not set fruits. The solution is to grow varieties
adapted to the heat (such as 'Heatwave II') or cold
('Siberia'), or to protect the plants during flowering
with shade cloths or covers.

* Blossom-end rot: The bottom, or blossom end, of
tomatoes turns brown and rots. Fluctuating moisture
conditions in the soil cause the problem, so mulch the
plants well, make sure that they're planted in
well-drained soil, and keep them evenly watered.

* Sunscald: The top surface of the tomato skin has
lightly colored patches caused by direct exposure to
the sun. These patches eventually rot. To avoid
sunscald, avoid pruning the leaves or provide afternoon
shade with shade cloths, or grow indeterminate
varieties that have lots of foliage to shade the
fruits.

Indeterminate varieties of tomato plants just keep growing,
stopped only by frost, insect, disease, or an axe. The side
branches and shoots continue to grow even after fruit is set
(after the flower has been pollinated and the young tomato
fruits begin to grow). They produce a ton of fruit, but the
tomatoes tend to mature later in the season than those borne
by the shorter plant varieties. Try 'Delicious', "Jet
Star', or 'Sun Gold'.

In contrast, determinate varieties tend to stop growing once
the shoots set fruit. Varieties vary in the degree that
they're determinate, but these plants generally tend to be
shorter and produce less fruit while maturing fruit earlier
than indeterminates. Try 'Oregon Spring', 'Sunrise', or
'Small Fry'.

Pets: Hare, Hare: Coexisting with Fido and Fluffy

TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Hare, Hare: Coexisting with Fido and Fluffy

One of the neatest characteristics of rabbits is their propensity
to get along with other pets. They're genetically programmed to
find a way to live with others - even if those others are
members of a different species.

Of course, the rabbit's status as a prey animal puts it in an
awkward position when trying to get along with some of the other
domestic animals bunnies often encounter in our human world.

Parrots and ferrets can be a challenge. Even though rabbits and
these animals don't have a history of animosity toward each
other, parrots can have problems with the idea of a rabbit in the
house. Aggressive parrots should be kept away from rabbits, which
is not too difficult to do. Ferrets, on the other hand, are
likely to want to make a meal out a rabbit and so are best kept
at a safe distance.

Although cats and rabbits have been on opposite sides of the
chase for a long time, the sheer size of today's domestic felines
makes the situation much less uncomfortable for rabbits. Most
cats and rabbits are virtually the same size, and no cat in its
right mind would take on an average-size rabbit. Dogs are the
greatest challenge because their wild relatives considered
rabbits a prime source of food. In fact, if you research the
history of dogs and rabbits, you'll see that the dog and the
rabbit have long had a strained relationship, as far back as the
Ice Age.

training, and more in Rabbits For Dummies
