Both oxymels and vinegars are “ancient” herbal preparations that have been around for hundreds of years. This is a quote from TheNerdyFarmWife.com about the benefits of medicinal vinegars: “Medicinal vinegars (Vinegar Extracts) have been around since ancient times, and were an excellent way to preserve and dispense herbs before distilled spirits were known about. Vinegar extracts (also known as “aceta”) are weaker than alcohol based tinctures, so the required dose is higher.
Not for The Fainthearted: Changing a Church’s Culture | achurchforstarvingartists The Ubiquitous Church Parlor Our book group just read Brene Brown’s Daring Greatly and – as I do with everything from Cooking Light magazine to Tillich, I read through the lens of Church World. Peter Drucker apparently once said, “ Culture eats strategy for breakfast .” In other words, we can make all the strategic plans in the world, but if those plans mess with our organization’s culture, the plans will never work . . . unless we change the culture. We need pastors who know how to change a congregation’s culture – albeit lovingly, pastorally, patiently, firmly. But it’s essential for a congregation’s future to make such changes as we move into a post-Christian season. I love Brene Brown’s Ten Questions For Figuring Out An Organization’s Culture - again from Daring Greatly – and I have added common answers to her questions from churches I have known and loved. Q1: What behaviors are rewarded? Q2: Where and how are people actually spending their resources (time, money, attention)?

How To Make Hot Pepper Cream For Arthritis And Joint Pain Please Share This Page: Google + stumbleupon tumblr reddit If you are a first-time visitor, please be sure to like us on Facebook and receive our exciting and innovative tutorials on herbs and natural health topics! Image (with permission) – Everydayroots.com Here’s an idea that I at first found surprising – and then fascinating. Who would have thought that hot peppers – noted for their fiery taste and ability to add kick to anything graced with their presence – could act as painkillers by topical application? Hot peppers contain a substance called capsaicin. It turns out that capsaicin acts to deplete a substance in the body called Substance P (that’s its actual name!). In short, what this means is that capsaicin may function as a painkiller through topical application! Our good friends at Everyday Roots have posted three formulas for Homemade Hot Pepper Creams for Arthritis & Joint Pain. A couple of safety tips: 1) of course – be VERY careful not to get this stuff in your eyes.
10 Tips for Using Long Telephoto Lenses By: Luis Argerich Long telephoto lenses are typically used for wildlife and bird photography but they can also be used for macro shots and landscapes, here are a few tips to improve your long focal length shots. 1. Use a fast Shutter Speed With a long lens freezing the subject motion is critical and even when the subject is not moving you have to avoid vibrations and camera-shake. 2.

Grand Isle After a hectic week in New Orleans we were ready to kick back a bit so we headed to Grand Isle, the only populated barrier island in Louisiana. When we called for a reservation Michelle was surprised to hear our name was Tidball as Lanny, her husband, had an uncle by marriage named Tidball. We did share our family stories but I don't think we are directly related. I have encountered a few Tidballs on our travels but none have been connected to any known relatives. The isle reminds us a lot of the way our favorite beach, Hatteras Island, used to be with its many small beach homes and only locally owned businesses. The drive from NOLA to Grand Isle is along canals and bayous all the way to the gulf. The last 20 miles is over a couple long bridges and a causeway with many big trucks on their way to an oil facility on the island. Here is a look at Grand Isle from the last bridge. A beautiful field of wildflowers. Grand Isle is a great place for birding. A rose-breasted grosbeak.
Comment fabriquer soi-même ses huiles essentielles Toutvert Nous autres amoureux de la nature apprécions beaucoup les huiles essentielles, ces produits faits maison recommandés pour notre bien-être comme celui de notre intérieur. Pour extraire les huiles, les laboratoires spécialisés procèdent soit par distillation à la vapeur (d’eau), soit par centrifugeuse (à pression pour les agrumes, au regard de leurs écorces). Processus compliqués et difficilement transposables chez soi. Le matériau végétal est humidifié par la vapeur ; ses tissus végétaux se rompent, libérant l’huile essentielle ; la vapeur emporte l’huile essentielle ; toutes deux sont ensuite refroidies dans un échangeur, et se séparent alors facilement. SUR LE MÊME THÈME : Recettes de shampoing à base de pois chiches et de poudre d’argile Par facilité, partons d’une huile d’olive, disponible dans toute cuisine qui se respecte, et d’une tasse de 250ml pour nos mesures. DÉCOUVREZ : Comment fabriquer son savon écologique et bio ! En ce qui concerne la méthode à froid : Préparation.
“You Don’t Have to Live Your Life the Way Other People Expect You To.” « The Happiness Project From time to time, I post short interviews with interesting people about their insights on happiness. During my research, I’ve noticed that I often learn more from one person’s highly idiosyncratic experiences than I do from sources that detail universal principles or cite up-to-date studies. Chris Guillebeau has a terrific blog, The Art of Non-Conformity, “unconventional strategies for life, work, and travel.” For example, one of the unconventional goals he has set for himself: to try to visit every country in the world. So far he has visited more than a hundred. He’s also interested in “the convergence between highly personal goals and service to others” – a very happiness-project-y concern. Chris and I have many interests in common – yet we’re also quite different from each other — so I was very curious to read his answers to these questions about happiness. Gretchen: What’s a simple activity that consistently makes you happier? Do you work on being happier?
