How to make Pantyhose Last Long

Do you wear pantyhose? How many times did you use a pair of pantyhose? Probably you use it twice, thrice depending on the quality of the brand and price. Fortunately, there are several ways you can do to make each pair of pantyhose last as long as possible.

1. Look for opaque, heavier knits and avoid sheer pantyhose.
2. Wear the proper size. Pantyhose that are too small will be more under stress and more likely to run and destroy.
3. Spray the new pantyhose lightly with starch to add strength to the fibers.
4. Wet the pantyhose and place them in a plastic bag, sealed the bag and put it in a freezer. Freezing the pantyhose will stress the fibers before you wear them thus making them harder to tear when wearing. Remove them from the freezer and allow them to defrost before hanging them to dry.
5. Be careful when putting the pantyhose. Do not wear jewelry and keep your finger and toe nails trimmed. This will keep the pantyhose from encountering any unwanted snags or rips.
6. If your pantyhose already have a snag or rip, use a hairspray or clear nail polish. Turn the hose inside out and apply lightly to the edges of the run or snag. Allow to dry completely before wearing again.

Try those simple tips in order to save money and avoid frequent buying of pantyhose.

What is Mesothelioma?

Do you know what mesothelioma is? It is a cancer of the mesothelium. Mesothelium is the protective sac that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the human body. It produces lubricating fluid which allows our organ to move easily. Like for example the lungs and the heart, the fluid allows the lungs to breathe and makes our heart expand and contract. But once it is affected by mesothelioma the cells become abnormal, divided and grow without control which causes the over producing of fluids and cover the organs with thick layer of tumor tissue, that will grow, invade and spread to other parts of the body. Mesothelioma is cause by the exposure of asbestos. Asbestos is one of the ingredients in making materials like cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles and insulation and once it is breathe it will tear down the lung tissue. The effect of asbestos will take from 20 to 40 years from the time of exposure. You can file a lawsuit for mesothelioma case. There is a mesothelioma law firm who concentrate their entire practice on mesothelioma laws. They will assist you throughout the entire process of your claim.

Love and Respect for Parents

Last Friday November 5, 2009, I attended a seminar about Parenting with the title "Disciplining with Love". We are so fortunate to have a speakers coming from Manila in the person of Mrs. Maribel Sison Dionisio, MA together with her husband Dr. Allan R. Dionisio, MD and son David Dionisio.
Being a parent is the hardest thing to do. It involves a lot of sacrifices and adjustments. And you can only realize it unless when you are already a parent too. Sometimes we hate or become angry with our parents when they will not allow us to go out or do this things. It seems that we are not love by them, they are overprotective and whatever negative emotions towards them which sometimes resulted to rebellion. They are just normal reactions of parents because they wanted to protect their children because no parents wanted that their children will be in harm.
I learned a lot from that one day seminar and I hope those children out there to understand their parents and give their respect and love.

All Saints Day Celebration

Are you ready for the Halloween? During my childhood days, I observed from my parents and relatives that they give so much time for it. It goes with a nine days novena for the souls which would end on November 1. And they really went to the cemetery to visit the graved of relatives and friends. Maybe it was already the tradition and they just followed what has been started. They believed that on this day the ghosts walked and mingled with the living. Aside from the souls, the devils, witches and other assorted monsters and goblins are believed to be at the peak of their supernatural powers. (Scary……..) Is it really true? Well, it might be true or not we, the living should pray for this very important day for all the souls in purgatory. In this way we can help their souls find peace wherever they are.

Want to Increase Blog Traffic and Web Popularity?

I would like to share this very helpful strategy to boost your traffic.

------------------------------------Copy start here---------------------

Please read carefully then apply correctly....

A philosophy says "Honesty is the Best Policy (Honesty is the political / best strategy)," is what we will prove .... whether honesty concept we can use to generate traffic and more intense popularity beyond the concept of complex expert webmaster or SEO expert ..?... I believe we will achieve that goal if this concept is running properly ..., and if this concept is applying in your web according to the rules, by then:
-Your Web will be swamped with huge traffic visitors day by day, without fuss or tired of the SEO campaign to a lot of web in the internet world.
-Your Web will be flooded huge back link day by day, without fuss hunt link to a lot of web in the internet world.

If Albert Einstein use the equation E = mc2 to combine mass potential and speed of light to create extreme nuclear energy , then we will use equation = V1 + V2 to combine my web potential and your web potential to generate extreme web traffic and popularity also .

If Einstein use atom plutonium and uranium to make nuclear bombs, then we use the Honesty and accuracy to make a bomb of this traffic and popularity concept.

What do you need to do is follow these steps:

1. Create a post articles as I post this, or copy-paste this post from Copy start here until Copy Finish, and also be entitled: t = V1 + v2, How to increase traffic and popularity quickly and naturally.

2. Copy or make the next powerful sentence existing under the number 3 plug at this website on your part to section that most easily seen by visitor, for example at the top of the sidebar

3. Move or change a link or the url address post (here-1) with your url address, and (here-2) with my URL address post,to find out url address of the post that I make and that you make is to click the title / post title than we make this copy of the address bar.

The more authentic information about you know, the more likely people are to consider you a expert. Read on for even more facts that you can share.

Next is the post of "powerful sentence" you need to install in your web part (after the change in the url link to its corresponding provisions of the above)

"Want to increase visitor traffic and your web popularity quickly and unlimited ...? Let me ..., I'll do it for you FREE ...!.. here 1 "

-So after the powerful sentence is put on the your web then : if a visitor click the link here-1 he will directly to your link post, and if he click here-2 will directly link to my post ... and this is just keep going unbreakable chain link.

4. Finish, prepare tracker counter and link checker for example sitemeter and Technorati to see a flood of traffic and your web backlink

What is t = V1 + t2 ...?
t: Number of traffic that will be you get on your web in a day
V1: The number of visitors to your web in a day
v2: Number of visitors of the V1 (a visitor from your web visitors) in a day.

Traffic:
For example, my web or your website in one day have an average of 50 visitors .., and all of this we apply the concept (powerful sentences) correctly, and that 50 people from each of 50 people also have visitors from his blog , then the web we will visit in a 50 plus 50 x 50 people on that day = 2550, and will also likely continue to increase day by day, because every day there are always new visitors in the internet world, each day also have a new blogger, or web internet in the world ... PROVE IT!

Popularity:
For example, our web visitors have 50 people in a day, and everyone implement this concept, then in the web that day you will get 100 linkback to your website, a link on Powerful sentence and a link on the link in my multiply 50. and will likely continue to increase day by day ....

Why the need to create links and link your link on my post ...?
... this is to maintain our link eternity, because as we get more links in the post less likely erased ....

Can we do not fair or not fair sabotage this concept, for example, "remove all links of origin" and fill in the web / blogs we own...? .... Yes, and this concept will not prove to be a maximum of Honesty is a strategy / political answer..... But I believe that we all want to throw them credibility by making such action cheap ...

What do you think is it helpful to your site? I would like to thank Sida for this idea.

A Seminar on Quality Customer Service and Why Listen

It ends well and successful! This is my personal evaluation of the two days seminar we have last September 5 and 12, 2009 held in the audio visual room of UIC main campus. Though it was just about 3 hour’s seminar but it gave me the opportunity to reflect - am I doing the right way?
The first day topic was about "Quality Customer Service". Being the front liner of the institution it is our duty to give the best services to our clients who are the students, parents and visitors. Because of them we exist. But sometimes in a day to day activities and routinely works it cannot be avoided that we encountered a harsh clients that resulted to misunderstanding and conflicts. So, this seminar served as a re-awakening and opening of new ideas, that we need to control our emotions in order to create and peaceful environment not only to the clients but to the co-workers also.
On the second day, the topic was "Why Listen? Why is there a need for listening? Even in our own families we need to listen to each member because we never understand each other if we will not listen to them. There must be a give and take situation- the speaker and a listener in order to received the message clearly and act on it correctly.
We are so thankful to our resource speaker in the person of Mr. Rene Lizada who gave his best and impart his knowledge and experiences about the topic.

Kutsinta

I would like to share this native delicacie. It's one of my favorite foods. Easy to prepare and affordable ingredients. Happy weekend!

Ingredients:
1 cup rice flour
2 cups brown sugar
3 cups water

1 teaspoon lye water (potassium carbonate solution sold in food stores)
Freshly grated coconut

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Pour into muffin pans, until halfway full. Steam in a large pan with a cover; the water should be 2 inches deep. Cook for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Add more water if needed until cooking is done.

Remove from the muffin pans and serve with freshly grated coconut. Serves 4.

Natural Sources of Antioxidants

Natural sources of antioxidants, such as Vitamins C and E and beta-carotene, are some of your best defenses against coronary-pulmonary aging. Below are the list of you can choose. Eat at least five to nine servings per day of fruits and vegetables.

Vitamin C:
Red pepper, Brussels sprouts, papaya, orange, chestnuts, butternut squash, kiwi, strawberries, cantaloupe, kale, pink grapefruit, sweet potato, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. (The latter three also help the liver detoxify poisons and "bad" estrogens (16-hydroxyestrone) that promote breast, colon, cervical and prostate cancer.)

Vitamin E:
Almonds, spinach, parsnips, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, asparagus, sweet potato, wheat germ, brussels sprouts, peanuts, pecans.

Beta carotene:
Carrot, butternut squash, cantaloupe, sweet potato, kale, watercress, apricot, red pepper, turnip greens, mango.

A good rule of thumb:
Eat from the fruit and vegetable "color palette" each day and include red, green, orange, blue (blueberries) and yellow.

Eating lots of anti-oxidants keeps your lungs strong! People who ate the most antioxidants were able to exhale almost 1/2-cup more air in one second than people who ate much less. The ability to inhale and exhale volumes of air is called "Vital Capacity" and is perhaps the best physical exam indicator of life expectancy!

Oops!
Lung cancer is the number-one cancer killer - and that 18-percent of victims never smoked.

So to protect us from the harmful effects of cigarette smokes, try to eat your nine servings of a rainbow variety of fruits, seeds, nuts and vegetables. Then take a professional quality multi-vitamin/mineral daily. As iron is a pro-oxidant, it should not be included usually except in the anemic, children formulas and for menstruating or pregnant females.

What you should Do if aThief forces you to witdraw from your ATM

When a thief forces you to take money from the ATM, do not argue or resist. You might not know what he or she might do to you. What you should do is to punch your PIN in the reverse mode. I.e. if your PIN # is 1254, you punch 4521.The moment you punch in the reverse mode, the money will come out, but will be stuck into the machine half way out and it will alert the Police (security) without the notice of the thief. Every ATM has it; it is specially made to signify danger and help. Not everyone is aware of this.

Varieties of Durian

One of the two common varieties found at different fruit stands in the city is Arancillo, which is also considered as one of the oldest varieties in Davao City. Arancillo, named after former BPI-PhilFruits director Vicente Arancillo, is considered as the best variety because of its delectable taste.

Found first in Catalunan Grande, Arancillo durian has a 30 percent edible portion but its drawback is its ripe fruits can easily be spoiled during continuous downpour.

The other common durian fruit found in fruit stands is Puyat. Unlike Arancillo, Puyat has a stable character that does not easily get rotten and still tastes luscious even during rainy season, the chief of BPI-PhilFruits Fruit Crop Section says. Its fruit may weigh as much as seven kilos and its tree can bear as many as 100 fruits.

Among the durian trees with high resistance to sickness are Chanee, Monthong, Lacson 1 and 2, and Karnyaw which all originated from Thailand.

Chanee, Loquias said, is the first variety to have spread among durian farmers, and which preceded the Arancillo. Its first fruits, he said, may taste like sweet potato but its sweet taste can be savored in its second and third fruiting.

Monthong, another durian variety, can also be found at BPI-PhilFruits field though only a few farmers are planting it. Loquias said Monthong once became popular but when it bore fruits, they conducted comparative analysis and found that the variety farmers claimed as Monthong was actually Soriano and Obusa durian which have not been recommended by BPI-PhilFruits for failing to meet the criteria set by the research center.

The Soriano durian, which originated from Kapalong, Davao del Norte, looks nice from the outside but when it matures, the bottom part of the fruit tends to rot until it opens up, inviting fruit flies.

Loquias said the Soriano durian tree at BPI-PhilFruits has been there for the past seven years but its fruit quality hasn't improved despite the care and fertilization they have given to the tree.


Mamer durian, known among Dabawenyos as native durian, is considered as the best native variety in Calinan. Named after Mamerto Fernandez, Mamer durian with a 25 percent edible portion is common in Barangays Serib and Dumalang in Calinan.

Another Calinan durian which is also registered as a variety with NSIC is Alcon Fancy. But this variety, with thicker flesh and edible portion reaching to 40 percent, rarely turns up in fruit stands as durian lovers usually buy them directly from farms that produce them like Alcon farms in Tugbok.

The other registered durian varieties are Atabrine (native) and Duyaya (Durian and Biyaya) which was named after farmer-scientist Severino Belviz of Calinan.

The other types of durian not yet in the market but are recommended by BPI-PhilFruits are Malaysian D101, Malaysian D24 and M-Dur 88 which are found sporadically in the Davao region.

Many for those who are first time to test or smell this fruit really don't like it but as when you used to taste it you really like this fruit. They said it smells like hell but taste like heaven. Once you taste it you will love and long for it.
