What Are Obama Swing Sets

February 9th, 2010 | jones | General

After President and Mrs. Obama installed a swing set for their girls in the yard around the White House, they made it clear to people all over the country just what their priorities are. A settled family life was not about to be sacrificed for some supposedly “higher purpose,” not even the highest job in the land, but the Obama daughters were to have a secure and as normal a life as humanly possible. This was a bold and definitive move, as an ordinary backyard swing set became not just a symbol of family life but perhaps a challenge to the rest of the nation to follow suit.

The play set in the park has rather overshadowed the ones in the backyard for a while, making play time something more involved than just sending the kids out into the yard and watching them through the kitchen window. But the swing set out behind the house has always remained in the background, waiting for the rebirth of both parents’ and kids’ imaginations, and the chance to offer a simpler form of play that involves both body and mind.

The set installed by the Obamas was made and set up by Rainbow Play Systems of South Dakota. Rainbow swing sets went through a rocky period a few years ago because some major parts that were made in China were prone to breaking; one girl broke her wrist when she fell from a defective set. Greg Foster, owner of Rainbow Play Systems, spoke of the recalls and other problems at the time the White House set was installed, mentioning how all the important parts of a Rainbow swing set are now made in the U.S.A. and inspected here, with only very minor parts still made in China. There have been no more safety issues since.

The swing set kit chosen for the Obama children is like many of the new incarnations of this kind of play assembly. The girls and their friends can climb a wall up into a fort and peek out through “bubbles” in the wall, play on the ropes, and of course use the traditional swings as well. And attached to the swing set is a picnic table, which again demonstrates Barack and Michelle Obama’s commitment to a healthy family environment. This set speaks to parental involvement and safe play; an example the nation can take to heart.

Other important dental treatments are facial pain treatment, implant fitting, preventive maintenance and wisdom tooth extraction.

Outstanding Customer Care

Excellent customer service always includes a listening ear for patients. A good oral health expert would always know what is best for patients.

How Panic Away Helped My Sleepless Nights

February 8th, 2010 | jones | Insomnia Cures

Today this article is about what happened to me over the weekend and how Panic Away helped. Last week I went in to see the doctor because of the horrible pain in my stomach and back. For days I could barely move and even a breath in was excruciating and very painful. It was an overwhelming pain that I’ve never had before and I was very nervous about it. The doctor said he wanted to rule out any tumors, blood clots or walking pneumonia so he sent me for several tests including blood work, an ECG and an X-ray.

After I had the tests, the doctor’s office called while I was fast asleep on the couch and I missed their call. I checked my voice mail that evening and heard a message saying, “Kirsten please call the doctor’s office.” I immediately grew anxious and very concerned, my doctor knew I was already coming in on Monday so why the call on Friday afternoon! Now I had to wait over the weekend! They must have found something I thought to myself and now I was very alarmed!

Horrible thoughts started to swirl around my head, I made up several worst-case scenarios in my mind and then I realized that I was heading down the slippery slope of an anxiety attack. I immediately asked myself what I was scared of and I confronted the fear head on…not an easy thing to do but it worked! I applied Panic Away’s One Move Technique™ and could instantly feel myself gaining back control and calming down. I was able to relax and have a restful night sleep. For the rest of the weekend, whenever I felt the anxious thoughts creep up on me….and they did, I quickly applied the One Move Technique™ , it takes only seconds to implement wherever you are, and it returned me to my normal self. Had this same situation happened years ago it would have left me fearful, trembling, in constant worry, calling all of my girlfriends and not able to sleep.

I am so thankful for the Panic Away program and all the wonderful things it has taught me. Just coping with anxiety is not good enough. The Panic Away program teaches you how to free yourself from EVER having another panic attack. This amazing tool will break the cycle of fear and will allow you to never fear another panic or anxiety attack again.

The Best Children’s Zoos In The World

February 8th, 2010 | jones | General

Autumn is a great time to visit a children’s zoo, given the number of special programs geared toward kids. For instance, the Henry Vilas Zoo has trick-or-treating, a fun house and music. Fort Wayne Zoo has a mystery maze, meet-Broomhilda-the-Witch, a petting zoo, pumpkin bowling, carnival games and a haunted train ride. The National Zoo in Washington DC has haunted trails, trick-or-treating, animal encounters and festive decor. Your family can get fall discounts at the National Aquarium in Baltimore ($8 instead of $29.95) and kids are free at the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park for the entire month of October (down from $26/$18). The Indianapolis Zoo also reduces their prices during the month of November. Additionally, “Crowds are down and animals are more active due to cooler temperatures,” says Allen Nyhuis, co-author of “America’s Best Zoos,” a guide book for families.

The top children’s zoo, according to Child Magazine, is the 56-acre Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida, where your child can see 1,614 exotic animals. The Australian-themed petting zoo lets the kids feed pet kangaroos and wallabies, mimic sheep herding and visit a water-play area with animal fountains and statues. Your kids will love the Safari Africa exhibit, featuring giraffes, elephants, zebras, warthogs, bongos and African ground hornbill birds. The “Spirit of the Skies” show features high-flying hawks, bald eagles, vultures and owls. Kids can hold lorikeets and feed them nectar, pet koi fish, ride on a camel, feed sting rays and act at a summer camp. With 35 educational programs designed to leave lasting impressions on youngsters, you can be sure your kids will never forget this trip to the zoo. For more information, visit www.lowryparkzoo.com.

Special at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, another top children’s zoo, is the 2,000-seat “Dolphinarium” shows, their 20-species butterfly showcase, bar-less panda and black rhino displays and Hamill Family Play Zoo, where kids can play in a fake animal hospital, plant gardens, dress up in animal costumes, paint murals, build animal exhibit habitats and pet animals. On the third Saturday of every month, kids between the ages of 5 and 10 will enjoy painting, sculpting, games, journals, mural-making and discussions geared toward their age group. All in all, you’ll see 5,938 exotic animals in this 216-acre park. For more information, visit www.brookfieldzoo.org.

The Phoenix Zoo is another great stop on your children’s zoo tour. While it’s only 125 acres with 1,300 animals, there are a lot of special programs your family will enjoy. The “Wilderness Experience Night Camp” is a lakeside tent sleepover experience, complete with s’mores, nocturnal animal presentations, guided hikes and astronomy lectures. Here you’ll see the rare Arabian oryx antelope and spectacled bears at the “Forest of Uco.” Kids can learn about archaeology or visit one of many play areas including Critter Creek, Papago Buttes, Busy Bee Toddler Play area or the Enchanted Forest. Thanksgiving weekend offers a 2-million-light display and they have a fun “Breakfast Tortoise-Style” program that includes a meal, songs, games, crafts and tortoise visiting. If you get hungry, you’ll be happy to know there is healthy dining at the zoo too. Visit www.phoenixzoo.org for more information.

Choose The Best Swing Set Accessory

February 8th, 2010 | jones | General

When all is said and done, and you have looked at all of the kids swing set accessories out there, there’s one tried and true swing set accessory that is virtually always included in every assembly; the slide. This is something that has been an integral part of almost every playground since the beginning, and has been either a part of or an accompaniment to every swing set in neighborhood back yard for decades. There’s just nothing quite as exhilarating as climbing to the top of that slide and whooshing your way down. The slide is so integral to the play experience that you’ll rarely ever find a swing set kit that doesn’t include one.

Remember those old metal swing sets with the tall slide that sometimes got so hot in the summer sunshine? Or perhaps your playground included one of those spiraling metal slides with a tower that contained a mysterious curving staircase inside. Most adults have very fond memories of their local playground slides, so it’s no wonder that even with all the other changes in swing sets, designers have retained the slide and at most just modified it to make it safer, rather than doing the unthinkable and removing it altogether. Some things are sacrosanct, after all.

Even so, the days of the old metal slide appear mostly to be over. Wooden swing sets all add sturdy resin or plastic slides to their frames, and even among metal sets, you’ll rarely ever find that the slide is made of metal as well. Kettler, a company from Germany, provides a small metal slide as a swing set accessory for some of their swing sets, but even it has a resin platform and base.

One of the advantages of the newer type of slide is an extra safety factor. With the different, more rounded shape of this swing set accessory, not to mention that it’s made of materials that don’t experience the same temperature extremes that metal did in different seasons, children are now much less likely to suffer injuries. This means that they can enjoy their playground or backyard swing set with the same enthusiasm that they always have, while their parents breathe just a little easier on the sidelines.

Zoo Conservation Success Stories

February 8th, 2010 | jones | General

Zoo conservation success stories often come in the form of birth announcements. Breeding in captivity can be challenging, especially when animals are transported to and from zoological societies to maintain biodiversity. This year, a rare armadillo was born in Minnesota; a giant panda had a cub at the San Diego Zoo; a collared lemur, tree kangaroo and an African lion were all born in the Bronx Zoo; a wombat was born in Brookfield, Illinois; a giraffe was born in Denver; vultures, an elephant and a gerenuk were born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom; Houston welcomed a giraffe, a porcupine and a rare sifaka; the Lincoln Park Zoo hatched a penguin; two rare snow cloud leopards were birthed at the Washington DC Zoological facility; Oregon got a new elephant baby; the San Francisco facility got a new gorilla and the Atlanta facility received a new panda; San Diego’s Wild Animal Park got a cheetah, an Indian rhino and three Sumatran tigers.

There are many zoo conservation success stories associated with AZA-accredited animal parks. In 1982, only 23 California condors existed in the wild, but through San Diego’s breeding programs, their population increased to 322. The Wyoming toad was actually pronounced “extinct” in 1994 with just one “in situ” population remaining. Thanks to the Species Survival Plan at the Cheyenne Mountain facility, the species was moved from extinction to merely threatened. These toads are far from out of the water, but without these efforts, their species may have been entirely lost. The last 18 black-footed ferrets were carefully supervised in breeding plans at the Cheyenne Mountain and Smithsonian National Zoos, producing more than 700 animals in captivity. Another successful program occurred at the Toledo Zoological facility, where the breathtaking Karner blue butterfly was successfully reintroduced to the wild after completely disappearing.

Zoo conservation breeding programs are just part of the puzzle, of course. There needs to be government protection of wildlife habitats and careful regulation of development and boating pursuits that threaten endangered species around the world. Far too often human exploits go too far and we destroy the animal kingdom’s environment, without ever really realizing it — until we see a dead whale washed up on the beach with rotor slashes on its back, or a mountain lion dead along a California highway. Zoos around the world are calling attention to these issues, imparting the lessons of conservation upon future generations while they are young and impressionable in hopes of avoiding a dire fate.

Total Body Cleanse Advice To Get You Feeling Well Again

February 7th, 2010 | jones | Insomnia Cures

Do you feel bloated, lethargic and just generally not well? Every day our bodies are exposed to toxins, pollutants and other harmful substances. Also, because of our very busy lifestyles we don’t take care of ourselves as well as we should. It’s just easier to either skip meals or grab some fast food to get through the day. A good body cleanse might just be what our bodies need to get us back on our feet.

You have probably heard already about the importance of consuming enough water every day. The importance of drinking at least six to eight glasses of water daily cannot be stressed enough. Water is what helps the body flush out those nasty toxins. It has other important jobs like helping us digest food and delivering oxygen to different parts of our body. If the human body does not get enough water it becomes dehydrated. If you feel tired all the time and suffer from headaches it could be that your body is dehydrated. Sugary drinks and alcohol don’t help the body function properly. Drink lots of water to help cleanse your system.

Fiber helps to cleanse the system. Fruit, whole grains, legumes and vegetables are all good sources of fiber. If your diet is lacking in sufficient fiber you will suffer from conditions like constipation. Fiber makes sure our food gets digested properly. It keeps our colons healthy and working efficiently. Fiber can even be useful in the prevention of serious conditions like cancer of the colon.

Fiber is an essential part of any diet because it promotes the movement of food through the digestive system. You can help keep your body regular and prevent constipation by increasing the amount of fiber in your diet. Fiber also helps lower blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar levels.

What is the most important organ in the human body? There are a number of vital organs and the liver is one of them. The liver cleans what we eat and together with the kidneys makes sure those nasty toxins leave our bodies. If our liver is unhealthy our whole body suffers.

The liver is one of the most vital organs in the body. Our liver is responsible for cleansing everything we eat during the day. The liver and the kidneys make sure that toxins and waste products get removed from our bodies. Our livers work overtime trying to process the excess fat in our diets, alcohol, medication and other harmful substances.

The good news is that there are herbs that help cleanse the liver. These herbs include milk thistle, dandelion, yellow dock and ginger tea. Milk thistle, in particular, helps protect and improve the liver’s functioning. It is also known as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect other areas of the body from toxins. Dandelion root stimulates the flow of bile and speeds up the process of removing toxins. Try including one or more of these herbs in your diet to cleanse the liver and keep it functioning properly.

Use the above mentioned tips to help clear your body of excess toxins that make you feel run down and lethargic. After a total body cleanse, the cleaner your body is, the better it will perform and the healthier you will feel. A body cleansing helps your body to run more efficiently and improves your immune function.

New Moon - The Film, Mania And Merchandise

February 7th, 2010 | jones | General

New Moon, the second in the series of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga to arrive on the large screen, has had something of a bumpy ride getting here. First up there was the difficulty of Edward Cullen, acted in the films by heart-throb Robert Pattinson, and also the limited amount of time he’s really within the second book, and then there was the difficulty of the lawsuit filed by an recent college room-mate of Meyer’s, who claimed alleged plagiarism against the author of Twilight.

The solid and crew soldiered on though, and the end result of their labours has rapidly become an enormously huge hit all over the planet. Edward is seen throughout the film in a way which may appear a little cheesy, but then, this can be the Twilight series, and cheese is not any stranger to it. Having said that, the film has been obtaining abundant better reviews than the first entry in the line, which was disliked by many critics and criticized for some of the fairly uncomfortable facets of the connection involving a century-old vampire and a teenage girl.

It would appear that the producers of the Twilight films over at Summit Entertainment listened to the useful comment of some reviews (and ignored the outbursts of those that disliked it) and have created a much stronger film now round. Their efforts have born fruit, and predictions of the film being a massive hit have been demonstrated to be correct. Fans have been rushing to see it, and also the New Moon goods arena is full ofnew-found things for fans to collect.

The assortment of New Moon goods appears a very little classier than previously for franchises like Harry Potter, as the books that all of this stems from are aimed toward a different demographic; namely kids in their early to mid teens, instead of children upwards. This is why some aspects of the merchandising, like the Twilight and New Moon duplicate jewellery, is showing to be such a sturdy seller.

It is also interesting that other New Moon goods things like posters, calendars, bookmarks and others of their ilk are therefore standard with fans, along with special editions of the books themselves, as this can be rather different to the way that things typically keep company with film goods.

The special editions of the Twilight novels are literally seen as collector’s things to several fans, with these Twilight special editions laying untouched on shelves or still in their packaging whereas their well-thumbed paperback editions are frequently read and enjoyed. The audience is thrilled with the newest film, while many critics are once more ripping it apart. That is a sign of something with a very sturdy fanbase indeed, and it can definitely continue when ‘Eclipse’, the third Twilight film in the line, gets here.
