Turkey Season - 5 Handy Tips For Fall Turkey Hunting!

Hunting turkey in the fall of the year can be one of the most rewarding times to hunt. With cooler temperatures to make walking comfortable, and a beautiful pallet of browns, golds, and yellows, fall is often a hunter's favorite time of year to spend some time outside. Many hunters like to try to bring home a fresh gobbler for the holiday season, but for the sake of safety, the best judgment needs to be maintained. There are some special safety tips specific to hunting turkey in the fall that every hunter should follow. A hunter must be sure that what is heard and seen is also identified. Many hunters have mastered the turkey call, so a hunter needs to be positive that what he's seeing is really gobbler. Some other tips to keep in mind:

• Dress the Part. Fall turkey hunting requires a slightly different pallet of camouflage colors than what spring season requires. Mimic your surroundings; look for camouflage in browns, yellows and golds. Be sure to avoid white, red, and blue though, as those are the colors associated with turkey. Being safe in the woods also includes protecting yourself from other careless hunters.

• Camouflage Everything. Many hunters often forget that everything they have on their person needs to be camouflaged. Not just clothing, but weapons too. Also try to think outside the box; even a bright flash of sock or undergarment can be bad news when an watchful bird sees it.

• Scatter with Caution. If you're lucky enough to get close enough to a flock of turkeys, be sure to take great care when scattering them. Never run with a loaded gun.

• Identify Yourself. While it's difficult to give up a great hunting location, if another hunter comes into your site, you need to let him know you're there. Don't under any circumstances wave your arms or make inaudible noises, a loud and distinct call is necessary.

• Watch the Decoys. Decoys can be a hunter's best aid when turkey hunting, but take care in their placement. Ensure that there are no other hunters in the line of fire and be sure you're not lined up with his decoys.

Fall turkey hunting can certainly be one of the best times to spend time in the woods, and the desire to bring home a gobbler for dinner is strong, but be sure to follow proper hunting safety to ensure a satisfying hunt.

Tips on Shopping for the Perfect Comforter

Cuddling down in the soft warmth of a clean and cozy bed at the end of a hard day has got to be one of life's great pleasures. Our favorite kind of bedding isn't called a comforter for nothing and, thankfully, there are loads of types of so each and every one of us can get a perfect bedtime snuggle.

When you first decide to buy a comforter the number of different types can seem bewildering. What's the difference between down and synthetic fibers? Which will wear the best? Which are most comfortable, or warmest, or lightest. Help! What do I want?

Take it one step at a time and answer a few personal questions to start sorting the down from the fibers. If you have severe dust allergies, rule out 100% down and look at the other. Learn about the different fillings and weights, get up close and personal with a few in the store and compare how they feel. Then treat the purchase as an investment and go for the best you can afford.

No matter which type you finally decide upon, there are a couple of things to keep in mind; these cover most types. These aren't the cheapest items to buy so a little thought before the purchase can save a few sleepless nights down the line.

Some types are in fact machine washable; however, it's not advisable to wash them too often. Be sure to use a quality cover, changing it often, and your comforter will stay clean and fresh without the need for constant washing.

Some types are available in dual-weight versions, and may be used either as doubles in winter or singles in the summer months.

If you one of those who suffers from asthma or allergies, you can probably benefit from using types that are hypoallergenic, or that are filled with synthetic materials instead of natural down.

Here's a quick breakdown of the various types of Comforters that are widely available:

Down Sets: Natural feather down fillings are probably near the top of the popularity list when it comes to sought-after varieties. Down is very insulating, lightweight, and comes in a wide variety of mixed with feathers. The more down to feathers the more luxurious and soft the comforter.

Down Alternative: Ideal for people suffering from allergies, down alternative types have several different fillings. Ranging from the purely synthetic to all-natural silk, it's largely a matter of personal taste as to which suits you best.

Kids Sets: You can give your child a special treat with a selection of her or his favorite film and fiction characters. From dancing Disney Princesses to high jinks on the oceans with those Pirates of the Caribbean, they'll never be short of a bedtime adventure.

Experiences From the Flow (21) - Farang: It’s Songkran: Hide Your Wallet! Part 1

By Carl “J.C.” Pantejo, Copyright April 2008

(Author “My Friend Yu – The Prosperity Mentor,” Copyright August 2007. Pantejo - Y.N. Vurce Publishing.)

“Prosperity: The eternal flow of all that’s good in life…”

*Below is the twentieth episode based on a series of real life events experienced by the author. The only deviations from the truth may be the names of people and places. These stories are also incorporated in “My Friend Yu – the Prosperity Mentor: Book II,” Pantejo - Y.N. Vurce Publishing. Release Date: 2008.

This is my second Songkran in Thailand. And the same thing is happening. Ex-girlfriends, women who have contacted me once or twice in the whole previous year, call me up with stories of crisis and emergencies.

It started during Songkran 2007…

Three weeks before Songkran 2007, I broke up with my first “real” girlfriend in Thailand.

- Noot -

She told me her name was Noot when we met. Months after we broke up, I learned that wasn’t her real name. We had been living together for about six months in an upper class condominium complex in Rangsit.

It was clean, had two aircon units, two balconies, a living room, a bedroom, a mini-mart and restaurant in the lobby, cable TV, internet café, manicured grounds, a good security staff, washers/dryers, adequate parking, and friendly management.

And, of course, it was expensive.

While we lived together, I taught English at the nearby, prestigious government High School Monday through Friday. Monday through Thursday nights, I taught adult English classes at Future Park (in one of the many Language schools located throughout the mall). On Saturdays, I taught another adult English class at a local International school. The pay was too good to turn down.

Why was I working so much?

Three reasons.

First, I didn’t want to spend any of my military pension while I was actually “living” in Thailand. For vacation? Yes. While living here? No. I wanted to see if a foreigner could, indeed, live comfortably in Thailand with only the money earned in Thailand.

Second, I love teaching and the novelty of teaching English in Thailand had not worn off yet. Granted, the High School students were pretty lame and unmotivated, but the adult students were great to teach.

Lastly, as this was my first girlfriend in Thailand, I was totally unaware of how much support (and gifts) I was responsible for. Consequently, I gave her outrageous amounts of money and some very expensive gifts.

- The Beginning of the End -

At about the four month mark in our relationship, I was beginning to wonder if it was doomed. I was just beginning to learn Thai and she did not speak English (even at the rudimentary level).

The lack of communication was strike number one.

During the next two months, I noticed other things happening. She played the head games that I’ve come to realize are the norm for so many young girls in the LOS.

She was a spendthrift, totally reckless with the money I gave her. She spent enormous amounts of money on all things trendy and feminine. She never saved any money. I guess she thought I was a limitless ATM machine.

Her lack of money skills was strike number two.

She was also a slob. Oftentimes, after coming home from my THIRD job, I would end up cleaning the condo, washing the dishes, or doing laundry.

She spent endless hours on the phone while the TV was on, both aircon units blasting at max levels, and playing on her PSP.

Why did I ask her to move in? Well, she was beautiful, caring, and sexy. I suffered from the common Thailand Rookie Syndrome: I let myself get blinded by beauty and sex.

Of course, her nymphomania was cured soon after moving in. The sex became less and less as the months went by.

(Granted, when it [sex] did happen, it was great, but I had this nagging feeling that it just wasn’t worth the rest of the bull$hi+.)

- Strike number three, she’s out! -

As I grew more and more fatigued from overwork and irritated by her antics, she became more and more demanding. The dreaded Family Emergency and guilt trip stories became more frequent.

The last straw came when she and her female friend (from two floors up) were watching TV in the living room and it was approaching 1:00AM. Their chatter and the TV’s loud volume were keeping me awake in the bed room.

Why is silence so deafening to Thai people?

I politely asked her friend to leave and explained that I was working early and needed some sleep. The truth was that I also wanted some sanook, sanook.

After the visitor left, I turned off the TV. My girlfriend looked shocked, as if I had just shot her mother! She began pouting.

Looking at the blank TV screen for a minute, she let out a loud exhale. Then, while doing a pretty good “about face” (for a civilian), she gave me a fake salute and went into the shower.

In spite of the sarcastic gesture about my military background, I thought, “Great, she’s getting ready for me.”

I waited for her to finish showering and wondered if I was, indeed, being too militaristic and controlling in our relationship. Even after five years of retirement from the U.S. Military, I still had vestiges of the lifestyle manifest now and then (usually when I was angry or stressed out).

But after assessing our live-in history, I brushed any thoughts of being a tyrant aside. I gave her much, much more freedom than most partners (Farang or Thai). I didn’t pry into anything I considered none of my business – although, in hindsight, I should have!

I provided her with an “allowance” that was larger than all her friends in the same situation. In fact, her monthly expenses were more than the monthly expenses of two average-sized, middle class Thai families put together!

I was always respectful, responsible, and affectionate.

All I asked from her was companionship when I was home, friendship (i.e., to have fun together – anywhere: at home, at restaurants, malls, cinemas, etc.), partnership in daily living (meaning: to share in the housework and daily errands), a little financial responsibility (e.g., no squandering of money), and a healthy, regular sex life.

What did she do while I was working so much? I don’t know. All I know is that the longer we stayed together, the more I felt that she was not willing to do (or possibly, not capable of performing) the most routine tasks. It was disappointing and frustrating.

I heard the shower stop.

Anticipating a nice romp in the sack, my mood changed instantly. She was always one of the best women in bed that I’ve ever met.

The combination of her young, curvaceous body; smooth, fair skin; shiny, jet black hair that cascaded down her back; exotic face; and angelic smile, was hard to beat.

I had never seen a woman with such a full, firm bust and butt, on an otherwise fat-free body, before. Her waist-to-hip ratio blew my mind. I have always described her bust as “unbelievably Hide-n-Seekable” and her waist as “tiny, just three palms wide” to my Farang friends.

As the bathroom door opened, I saw her step out with a towel wrapped around her waist. Her upper body was fully exposed and still glistening from the shower water. The cool air from the air conditioner had the desired effect (pencil erasers standing at rigid attention – Woo-Hoo! Thank you God.). The light behind her produced a full-body halo that made her look like an angel sent from above – just for me! Jeez! She was so beautiful!

I leapt off the bed, grabbed a bath towel and hung it on myself (guys, you know what I mean). Doing a “drive-by” sniff kiss on her neck, I skipped into the bathroom like a little kid.

True to convention, it was now my turn to bathe. I had already showered. But, for the girlfriend’s peace of mind and comfort level, I quickly showered again.

But when I came back to bed, she didn’t acknowledge my presence, rolled further away, and pretended to fall asleep.

I was having none of this! I pulled her to me and said I wanted some. She acquiesced, but instead of the usual raucous, loud, playful, and raunchy sex – the unbridled sex that made me feel decades younger when we met, she did the starfish routine on me. Uncharacteristically, she lay there motionless – like a beached starfish. I was so pissed-off that I didn’t even finish!

Thinking things over, maybe I was asking too much from her, especially after throwing her friend out of the condo?

Oh well, I decided to forget it and try to go to sleep. I moved to kiss her goodnight, but she copped an attitude and turned away.

Mai bpen arai (whatever, no problem), I whispered – to her and to myself.

But I could not go to sleep. The totally lopsidedness of the relationship was making me feel like a fool. I couldn’t see any way to turn this lose/win relationship into a win/win.

- Tossing and Turning -

I thought about all the things that I had been trying to forget. I thought about her extended trips home (supposedly to Cambodia). I thought about all the money I was throwing away on her. I thought about her late night calls to her “brother.” I thought about our continual state of miscommunication. I thought about her sloppiness. I thought about her attitudinal changes about me and about sex. I thought about being tired all the time from my multiple jobs. I thought about how she threw away money on stupid things and on her friends. Then I thought about how little I asked of her.

How dare she cop an attitude on me!

At 4:00AM, after tossing and turning for almost three hours, I sprung out of bed, grabbed a large, black (clean) trash bag, and began to throw her clothes in it.

Apparently, the girlfriend was not asleep either. Without a word, she got up, took the trash bag from me, and continued packing her clothes. I went to the balcony and watched her pack her belongings while I smoked outside.

She called and woke up her friend. Ten minutes later, both of them were packing up the soon-to-be ex’s remaining knick knacks, toiletries, and stuffed animals. She packed up the PSP and her Nokia N72 cell phone (gifts I bought her for her birthday). Then she picked up the Sony camcorder I bought for the both of us for Christmas, put it down, and looked at me. I nodded a “yes” and she quickly packed the camcorder into her brand name, oversized shoulder bag too.

Then, without a fuss, they left. Amazing.

It was about 5:15AM - too late/early to go to sleep. I had to get up at 6:00AM anyway. So, I just made a cup of coffee, smoked, and thought about what had just happened.

I knew it would be rough. I was so used to her being around. I knew I would miss her, but I couldn’t live like this. I’d had enough. It was for the best. And with that thought, I actually felt relieved.

The next day, she and her friend came down to my room. She motioned that she left her toothbrush in the bathroom and immediately stepped in and went to go get it. I watched her. She went into the bathroom for maybe three seconds. For the next ten minutes she poked around the rest of the condo, supposedly looking for her toothbrush.

I knew what she was doing. She was looking for another woman (or evidence of another woman). She couldn’t believe that a man would break-up with her just to be alone. In her mind, it JUST HAD to be another woman.

Search unsuccessful, she started to leave my condo sullen. Clearly, she had prepared herself for a cat fight and now there was no one to fight.

I touched her shoulder and said “Kao tot na kraap, tee rak (Sorry, darling). Lar gone (Good bye). Choke dee (Take care).”

Saying, “Mai bpen arai,” she left with her friend.

The Benefits Of Creating A Residual Income From Home

Many people decided to pursue an additional source of income on a home based business in the Health and Wellness industry. They will learn about the best win-win opportunity to create a financial security for themselves and their families which is something vital in this time of era. This kind of professional career and business is taking off because they offer the following benefits:

1 Financial Freedom
It offers you another stream of income flowing into your life on an ongoing basis so that you can fulfill your desires such as having a new home or car, holidays and travel, children's education, caring for aged parents, quality retirement, etc.

2 Time Freedom
Time to spend as you wish instead of working at a job or running a business from dawn till dusk for the best years of your life.

3 Good Health
Have vitality, good health and well-being.

If just one of the above components is missing, it will impact the quality of your life. For example, if you have plenty of time and money but poor health, you can't enjoy life to its fullest. If you don't have enough savings to go through your retirement, you may be prevented from being able to have and to do certain things in life.

Think about it. Can Life Be Better? What will you be doing differently today if time and money are of no object?

The Wealth Crisis
According to the latest statistics, the average Australian will be in retirement for at least 25 years. Yet, only 5% will be financially independent by age 65. The remaining 95% will be deceased, still working part-time to make ends meet or broke on the pension.

Fact: You will either be among the top 5% or the remaining 95%.

Many people are ill-prepared for retirement. Most underestimate the amount of savings they require to live comfortably in their golden years. As life expectancies continue to improve, and costs continue to rise, there is a real concern that the superannuation nest-egg alone will not be sufficient for most, in their old age, to maintain the lifestyle they are accustomed to.

There is a saying that by the time you can have your superannuation fund, its purchasing power has been reduced by inflation to about 20% of what you can buy today.

The solution is not to save more (although that's a good piece of advice), but to earn multiple streams of income.

There are smarter ways to earn:
1. Leverage Your Income
There are many ways to earn money. You can work alone, or you can work with others as a team helping each other. Straight salary is linear income. It does not matter whether you are a doctor, dentist, lawyer, accountant, engineer, teacher, or whatever you get paid by the hour for only when you work. No work, no pay.

Worse still, nowadays, more and more high paying jobs will be performance-based. This means bonus which consists of a fair portion of the total remuneration is only payable if what you agreed to deliver has been delivered on time, not how many hours you spend on the job. As a result, long hours and stress are quite common.

Professionals and employees trade their own time and effort for money. But there is a limit to how much wealth one can accumulate this way.

The best way is to earn residual income which is income that keeps flowing to you even when you are not working like copyrights created by authors, pop artists and successful network marketers.

Most multi-millionaires use leveraging in one form or another to generate wealth. They understand that the combined time and effort of many people always offer a much bigger income potential than what one can earn alone.

2. Create A Residual Income Stream
Workers get paid each hour, each fortnight, or each month that they provide a service.

Smart people continue to earn into the future, based in part on initial efforts. This residual value gives them not only the money, but the time freedom to enjoy it too.

Despite prejudices and misinformation, the Health and Wellness network marketing industry has grown to over USD 100 billion in revenue. The ageing of baby boomers; X and Y Generation who place more emphasis on balanced lifestyle/family than that of their parents will lead to a boom in the health and wellness industry.

The so-called "baby boomer" generation is now in their forties to sixties. Many are at the height of their earning and spending power. They make up about one-third of the population and account for about two-thirds of spending. Thus, knowing which industries the baby boomers are supporting is a key to financial success.

Two of the most powerful economic trends of today are:
1)Health & Nutrition
Health and nutrition is one of the biggest economic trends of our time. According to Money Magazines, the nutrition industry is the mother of all trends.

"When I look forward to the year 2010, I see a clear one trillion dollar business just in the growth of the existing products and services in the wellness industry" Paul Zane Pilzer, World-renowned economist and trend-forecaster

Why is health & nutrition set for explosive growth?

People are more aware of the role supplementation plays in optimizing long-term health. Hence the number of people seeking quality products to maintain good health is growing rapidly.

2)Network/Relationship Marketing
Relationship marketing is growing in prominence. It is a degree level subject taught at some of the most reputable universities in the world today including Harvard University and the University of Southern California.

Two highly respected professionals, Dr Charles King and James Robinson have co-authored a book "The New Professionals and The Rise of Network Marketing as the Next Major Profession", which provides valuable insights to this industry. Dr King is a Professor of Marketing at the University of Illinois and Mr. Robinson is former Senior Vice-President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Why is Network Marketing set for explosive growth?

More and more companies are now turning to network marketing as a mean of distributing their products as advertising and traditional distribution channels are getting more expensive. The more effective marketing system to retain loyal customers is through relationship marketing. However, companies can't do this by themselves. If they can do it, they don;t need you. Therefore, they need you to distribute their products through relationship network marketing.

A good network marketing company can provide ordinary people a legitimate home-based business that builds income with excellent leverage and residual value. The smart ones are joining companies in the Health and Nutrition industry, and the even smarter ones are joining the best companies in the Health and Nutrition industry's companies that have good reputation in their products and are likely to be around for a long, long time. Some companies allow you to pass the legacy of your business to your benefactors.

Here are some points to consider on how to choose a good network marketing company:

1 A Company That Has An Unquestioned Devotion to Quality
At the end of the day, you get pay commissions only when sales are made. Thus, you would only want to get in a company that offers products which are formulated and manufactured to standards that exceed many nutritional products on the market and they work. Repeat sales is what give you leverage. So, you want your customers to buy the products month in month out and that only happen if the products work. Better still you see whether many doctors, health professionals and world class athletes that can trust their health to the products.

2 The company's forward growth potential
What is the company's strategic growth plan and its policies? It pays to join a company that pays you on sales volume generated worldwide in a single, seamless commission plan so that when different countries open, and others to come on-stream, it offers you to build business internationally.

3 A Global family that cares
Nowadays, people are drawn to a company's dedication to a worthy cause and not just making profits for the stakeholders. For example, CEO of Usana Health Sciences, Dr Myron Wentz, has a passionate dream of "A world free from suffering, live life to its fullest" that leads him to establish the state-of-the-art Sanoviv Medical Institute in Baja, Mexico, as well as the Wentz medical Centre for children in Gaba, Uganda.

He also has a passion to help children in need. He has donated millions to the Children's Hunger Fund since 2001. Through these donations, children in many poor areas of the world receive food, health and love.

4 A Pay Plan that builds real residual income
Many network marketing opportunities pay a lot to the fortunate few at the top of the hierarchy, and set high demands that the average person has little chance of attaining. Make sure to find the one that has the 'best match' for you that you can attain.

5 An enviable record of financial strength
Choose a company that will be there for many years to come knowing that the company has the resources to pay you true residual income. Otherwise all your hard work will go down the drain.

Health is Wealth

Nutritional supplement company provides your body with the nutrients required for optimum health.

Health is wealth to the sick. Thus, the cost of the products is insignificant when compared to the benefits it generally provides, including the following:

1. Improved health and well-being

2. Counteracting free-radicals in your body

3. Provide possible relief from an existing problem

4. Cash savings as you no longer need to consume other nutritional products and possibility reduce medications

5. Ability to work and earn an income more efficiently due to improved health and well-being.

Money is Wealth

The company provides you with an opportunity to become financially secure. All you need to do is introduce others to the company's products.

With some initiative and effort you can generate an income stream to supplement or replace your salary from full-time employment. As the alternate health industry is growing rapidly, this means more and more people are taking preventative measures to protect their health.

In summary, you can't lose even if you are not interested in a work at home business in a relationship marketing in the health industry. At worst, you will improve your own health and that of your loved ones. At best case scenario is that you will improve your own health and that of your loved ones and generate another stream of income for yourself while spreading health and wealth to others.

Alternate Uses For Maternity Clothing

Maternity clothing is very fashionable and sized to fit a variety of body shapes. Maternity clothing stores have become an alternative shopping place for plus size women. Women who are over-weight will often have a body shape that is very similar to a pregnant woman and the opportunity to buy fashionable clothing that fits will rarely be passed by any woman who has a body size that is above average.

The cut of fabrics used to make maternity clothing will make bulging waistlines seem to disappear. A plus sized woman may have many bulges but the designers of maternity clothing have created an abundant assortment of alternative methods that help reduce a large woman to a size that is visually pleasant. Plus size women can find outfits to wear to formal and informal occasions and know that everything they wear will be a good fit.

Maternity clothing is roomier than many fashions sold in the plus size fashions department in a major department store and considerably cheaper in most locales because maternity clothing is designed to match a variety of other clothing choices which gives plus size shoppers more buying power in the long run. The fashions for plus size women are generally cut for a specific size. Maternity fashions are made to expand and conform to a variety of sizes over a specific length of time.

Finding the right sizes for everyday wear in maternity clothing is a very simple process. Pregnant women will typically select one size up from their original size when buying maternity clothing because this type of clothing is made to expand as the midriff gets larger. Plus size women find this clothing option more enjoyable because the guesswork of fitting large midriff's has been removed and plus size women enjoy finding oversized clothing that fits.

Medical problems might cause some people to shop in the maternity clothes section of a local department store. The extra room allotted in the bust is roomy enough to accommodate the placement of heart monitors, insulin pumps and defibrillating nodes that are placed just under the skin. People who have pacemakers in place enjoy the spaciousness of maternity clothing and those who are wheelchair bound find the armpits to be larger which allows them to roll a wheelchair with fewer obstructions in the way.

The expandable panels found in maternity clothing can provide a lot of comfort to those that are faced with wearing prosthetic devices. The added width allowance provided in the maternity pants legs will allow wheelchair bound people to dress with less stress each day. The extra room allowed in maternity pants will make wearing leg braces less noticeable. Some medications will cause people to suffer from water weight gain, which is also a side effect experienced during pregnancy.

Bloating can be caused by a variety of medical disorders, and this type of additional weight gain can be hidden quite nicely when a person wears maternity clothing. These plus size fashions are not always purchased for pregnancy and can be useful tools to help alleviate problems experienced from poor blood circulation because maternity clothing is not binding or restrictive in any way.

I'm Depressed - Are Alternative Depression Medications The Answer ?

The short answer is a resounding yes! Looking at my two depressed friends who have been on anti depressant medications for a lifetime, I am now more convinced than ever that the only way out for them is a comprehensive type of treatment which combines diet, exercise, therapy and medication, preferably herbal ones. That for me is the key to alternative depression medications.

I have seen too many people's lives thwarted and stunted under the weight of anti depressant meds and their awful side effects. What a price they have to pay as men may become impotent and women gain weight and feel sorry (and even more depressed) that their societal body image is just not what they want.

Let us look at why people are depressed and the answer lies mainly but not entirely in the chemical neurotransmitters called serotonin, endorphin and norepinephrine. Serotonin seems to be the one which can determine so much in our daily routine and how we cope with life. It will affect not only our mood but also appetite, sleep, body temperature and even muscular movements. People who suffer from depression usually have a serotonin deficiency and that has been the key to all anti depression treatment. A lack of serotonin can lead to Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) , anxiety and schizophrenia.

One of the best alternative depression medications is sunlight. If you are lucky enough to live in a sunny climate, you will be able to enjoy loads of sunlight. For those who do not, I would say that getting even ten minutes of sunlight can make all the difference to depression. It is no accident that the best possible treatment for SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which is a mild form of depression, is natural light therapy which can be in the form of special lamps for that purpose.

The second best of the alternative depression medications is exercise although it is not a medication in the strictest sense of the term. That is the best way of raising the serotonin levels in your brain and the endorphins which get activated are sometimes called the 'happy chemicals'. Have you ever met anybody in a bad mood after exercise ? I doubt it .

Diet, while not strictly one of the alternative depression medications, is an essential element in any form of depression treatment. It is no accident that carbohydrates are called 'comfort food' because in fact they tend to raise the serotonin levels in the brain as opposed to proteins which tend to have the opposite effect. Go for the brown carbs rather than the white ones so brown pasta, whole wheat bread, fruit and nuts are in. The white carbohydrates tend to give you a sugar spike which can lead to mood swings.

That leaves us with medication and one of the best alternative depression medications is the herbal one because it has very few side effects and will let you regain your mood and serenity without any nasty surprises.

Where do you get an insert for a Duvet cover?

I mean do you get a regular white down or down alternative comforter? or are there special inserts for them? So a duvet cover is basically like having a huge pillowcase for a comforter then.

Thanks so much!!

Yes, a duvet cover is just a case for a comforter. I already have a comforter, but I'm just tired of the color so I bought a new duvet cover. Much less expensive to go that route than to buy a whole new comforter. You can basically use any type of comforter. Down, polyfil, whatever.

Comfort with Comforters

The word comforter comes from the word comfort, the state of being snug. Comforters made from Down and Primaloft offer the last word in light weight, warm, plush comfort. The bed of feathers offered comfort and heat to lie on.The feather bed comfort birthed the cowlite, a sleeping bag type of mattress and coverlet and then the Comforter ; a feather filled casing used as a lightweight but warm covering to wrap one's self in comfort.

Down Comforters

Down is the harvested molting process of farm-raised geese. Duck down as well as Goose down is employed for down comforters, the biggest difference between them being odor, as goose down has very little odour. Goose down is the more expensive of the two and if the label doesn't say Goose Down then likely it is duck down. Feathers, a derivative of the poultry industry are used to bulk and increase sturdiness of the comforter.

Down is the residence and insulation. Fill Power is the measure of fluffiness. A higher number means better quality and more sturdiness ( 800+ ), and a medium number of 600+ is rated as top quality. Cleanliness of the fill is first in figuring out the hypoallergenic nature of some down comforters. Fills are washed to get rid of dust, mud and organic matter. There are 2'cleanliness' tests for the fills that go into Down Comforters that identify if the fill meets regime standards. Syriaca is a natural fiber that is hypoallergenic and is employed in combination with Down. The Syraica Floss suppresses and traps dust and dander.

The PrimaLoft Comforter

The Primaloft comforter, a man-made'clean' allergen free, down alternative, is formed from ultra-fine miniscule fibers. Like down, Primaloft clusters are blown into pillows and comforters, resulting in a down-like appearance, lightweight, breathable and warm. Primaloft's micro-fibers are softer and finer than silk, making a feeling matched only by down. This is the reason why Primaloft is the only patented alternative option to a down comforter.

The outside and inside Story

the interior story is about the'fill'. When shopping for your comforter or a comforter as a gift, determine the kind of fill that best fit's your need and budget. It's best to choose a Down or Primaloft fill since many manmade fills break down and give off harmful chemicals as they age. With Down or Primaloft you know you have chosen quality as well as a safe product.

The outside story is about the casing the fill is blown into. Quality and hypoallergenic materials would be wool or cotton, with cotton most frequently the choice. Egyptian cotton with a denier of 300-thread count would be of the best quality for sturdiness and softness but followed closely by unbleached cotton at 250 denier. The pattern of billowing the outer casing top and bottom will determine the final look of the comforter.

Comforters make glorious gifts for any one on your list and for all occasions. They are both sturdy and helpful and who doesn't like getting a gift of quality and usefulness? Comforters are the main staple of bedroom decor. Everybody merits to wrap up in a quality, comfy comforter. That is why a comforter of Down or Primaloft is a wonderful gift to give anyone, including yourself.

There are three key elements to have a look for when selecting a down comforter :

FILL POWER. Is amount space, in cubic inches, that one ounce of down fills. The higher the fill power, the higher the quality and warmth of the down. Good comforters normally start out at 575 fill power. Better comforters are 650 fill power and higher. Fill power is also what gives down comforters its house.

THREAD COUNT. The higher the thread count, the lighter, more breathable the fabric, the smoother it is to the touch and finer the threads. Thread counts often start at two hundred threads per inch and go up. where do I find down comforter allergy

BAFFLED CONSTRUCTION. A baffled comforter has a vertical wall of fabric joining the lower and upper portions of the shell. Baffles permit the down in your comforter to assume its fullest house. The better quality comforters are made with baffles. The baffle also allows the down to grow to its fullest terrace.

Down comforters and feather-filled products are packed tightly during shipping. Upon invoice remove them from their packaging, fluff gently, and permit a few hours to recover their full studio. Additionally, being sealed in plastic packing sometimes causes the scent of these natural down comforters to concentrate. A couple of hours of airing is needed.

I need help ....?

I recently purchased a comforter white goose down fill power of 750 and 500 threads. When I received the product on the quilt label said "100% natural fibers" and "Down at least 75% by the law. "Does this mean that actually received ?????" Down-Alternative Comforter rather than reality When I saw the word "fiber" I was scared, can someone clarify??

On your duvet cover is 100% natural fibers, probably cotton. The padding is at least 75% down. You can be 100% down, but not less than 75%. I did not yell "at least", but do not know how to italicize or underline here.

Better Than Cotton

Copyright (c) 2009 Virginia Ginsburg

As more and more companies shift and offer fabrics made of environmentally sustainable sources, people have also begun re-thinking of their options in buying fabrics. In the past, comfort or style were the primary consideration in buying fabric. At present, the fabric's impact on Mother Earth must be factored in.

A fabric is generally considered eco-friendly (or green) if it possesses the following characteristics:
>> Minimum chemical and/or pesticide use on the raw material
>> Sustainable planting and farming practices
>> A certification of the growers' and manufacturers' eco-friendly operations
>> Animal-friendly business practices
>> The production of the fabric abides by existing trade practices

Green fabrics are not only healthy to the environment but also to consumers. Consider this list of the options when seeking green fabrics:

1. Bamboo Fiber - Fabric made from bamboo, which is incredibly soft and smooth, luxuriously comfortable, and 100% biodegradable.

2. Hemp - Hemp fibers are longer, more durable and more absorbent than cotton fibers. This plant has been grown for fiber and food production for centuries.

3. Organic cotton - Organic cotton is produced from cotton that is grown without pesticides. Organic cotton is more costly to produce than conventionally produced cotton.

4. Jute - Jute is known as burlap in North America. It is one of the most competitively-priced natural fibers in the market today. It runs next to cotton in production quantity.

5. Ingeo - Ingeo is a trademark of a man-made fiber made from corn.

6. Hessian Cloth - Hessian or Burlap is an unrefined fabric woven from jute or hemp.

7. Recycled Polyester - Recycled Polyester is a fabric made from used polyester items such as clothes.

8. Tencel® - Tencel® is a brand patented to Lenzing Fibers' lyocell. Tencel is made from wood pulp cellulose and is soft as silk, strong as polyester, cool as linen, warm as wool and as absorbent as cotton.

9. Ramie - Ramie is one of the oldest textile fabrics dating back to being used as cloth in wrapping Egyptian mummies. It is also known for its durability 8 times stronger than cotton and 7 times than silk. Ramie is resistant to bacteria, alkali, mildew and insect attack.

10. Organic Wool - Organic wool is produced without artificial hormones and pesticides. Most organic wool products available in the market nowadays are baby apparel and accessories. The production of organic wool is more expensive than other organic sources because of higher operational and certification costs.

11. Organic Linen - Organic linen comes from flax plants grown without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers.

12. FORTREL EcoSpun - Made from 100% recycled plastic bottles and containers. Fortrel Ecospun is known for its durability, color fastness and shrinkage-free qualities. This fabric is developed in the US by Wellmann Inc.

13. Milk Silk - originally produced by Cyran, a Chinese company, this silk is made from milk. However, because of the high cost of milk, this fabric option never gained popularity in the textile industry.

14. Soy Silk - SoySilk is a trademark owned by South West Trading Company, which produces this silk known to drape like linen and has a smooth sheen like any other silk.

15. Nettle fiber - made from the stinging nettle weed. It possesses natural moth repellant characteristic and dates back as early as World War I as a cotton yarn substitute.

16. Spider-web fabric - Researchers have tried to extract fabric from spider webs. However, until today research on this kind of fabric has not produced significant results.

Whatever type of fabric you select for your clothing and household textiles, always check to see its source, and in addition to considering the impact it has on the environment during production, also consider the resources required to transport it from its country of origin.
