When an overwhelmed Jr. thinks he is not smart enough to take care of his own son, Michael tells Jr. that “Jr., Jr.” is a “magic baby,” and that every time he holds him, it will make Jr. smarter. The ploy works, but in the process Jr. becomes somewhat arrogant with his new-found knowledge, so Michael brings Franklin in so that the two geniuses can match wits. Meanwhile, Kady catches Claire sneaking back into her bedroom after hours and threatens to tell their parents, unless Claire does some favors for her.

We are fortunate that we now live in a world that for most ailments there is a medicinal cure. Many age-old complaints are being treated, or at least their symptoms can be treated, so they do not bother people anymore. But as the medicines get better so does the bacteria get stronger and become more immune to it. Head lice have been around forever and recent advances in medicine brought about a variety of treatments that has been able to get rid of them. Unfortunately, head louse can from time to time adapt to these medicines, so when this happens it is time to turn to alternative treatments for head lice techniques.

No More Chemicals

Alternative treatments for head lice are a surefire way of treating them, and alternative treatments will also help reduce the need for the chemicals found in medicine off of your head. Many of them are found to be harmless, but there is at least one (lindane found in the medicine Kwell) which is known to be toxic, in particular to children and seniors. If using an alternative treatment for head nits it can be cheaper than purchasing medicine, but first you should know some techniques to get rid of the head nits without the use of medicine.

One of the quickest and easiest methods to naturally remove head lice is to warm up a towel in your dryer for 20-30 minutes. Wrap the warm towel around your head, and the heat should be sufficient to kill both the lice and their eggs, ending the infestation in a matter of minutes. It does leave a bit of a window open for some nits (louse eggs) to survive if you’re not careful. Therefore, you can consider another option for an alternative treatment for head lice like olive oil. Massage olive oil into the scalp and let it sit there for ten minutes before washing out. The Olive oil smothers the head lice so they can’t breathe. If you do use olive oil, you’ll also need to perform head lice egg removal.

The best method in carrying out head lice egg removal is by using a warm towel, and then proceeding with the use of olive oil to ensure that none of them hatch. When combing through the hair use a nit comb or if you do not have one a very fine toothed comb. As you can see, there are several easy and cheap methods for alternative treatments for head lice, and they don’t involve rubbing toxic chemicals into your scalp. As always, you’ll need to check for nits every few days for a couple of weeks to make sure that none survived, but you would need to do that as well if you used medicine.

Alternative treatments for bacterial vaginosis can work just as well as conventional treatments and have, in many cases, been proven to be more effective. Bacterial vaginosis is an infection in the vagina caused by bacteria. The most common symptoms are a thin gray discharge accompanied by itching and burning and a strong unpleasant fishy odor.

It is important to treat bacterial vaginosis as the infection can move up the vaginal tract to the uterus and fallopian tubes, possibly leading to infertility.

Alternative treatments for bacterial vaginosis include abstaining from intercourse until the infection has cleared. This will allow the natural balance of bacterial flora to return.

In addition, a good, balanced healthy diet will help support the healing within your body. You should include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, pulses and flax seed. In addition, you should drink plenty of water. Other foods which have been shown to be beneficial for fighting bacterial vaginosis include live natural yogurt, oats and brown rice. Foods to avoid include sugar, processed meats, white flour, caffeine and alcohol.

Inserting a tampon soaked in live yogurt has also shown to help balance the flora within the vagina. In addition, a multivitamin supplement can also be helpful. Some naturopaths recommend using tea tree oil pessaries within the vagina as tea tree oil has natural antiseptic properties but if you are trying this you must ensure they are suitable for internal use.

Other alternative treatments for bacterial vaginosis include adding two cups of apple cider vinegar to bathwater and soaking for a few minutes and avoiding the use of all perfumed soaps and other products around the vaginal area.

There is a natural treatment of bacterial vaginosis which is completely guaranteed to get rid of the condition within 3 days. Not only that, you can learn how to eradicate some of the most unpleasant symptoms within minutes. Providing you are prepared to invest a little time and effort in learning just how to treat yourself, you will also learn strategies which will ensure that you have no repetition of this horrible condition.

Has anyone else noticed that most mainstream news seems to be blatantly left wing? It doesn’t seem like ABC/NBC/CNN really show both sides of the story.
What do you think? Alternative News sources?

LIFE isn’t fair; media reflects that…

If you’re in the job market, don’t risk making a big mistake! Check out the non-job alternative before you make a move.

OK. So you’re looking at finding another job. But have you ever considered that this may me exactly the right time for a non-job alternative? Let me show you what I mean.

First of all, just exactly what is a non-job alternative?

Well, the easiest way to look at it is as a work activity which replaces or enhances your job-related income. For example, getting into business for yourself.

Now, before you click to something else, just consider this. The opportunities for making good money in a business of your own, full-time or part-time, are astronomical right now. And, if you narrow your thinking only to a business you can run from you home . . . well, things really begin to get interesting.

But let’s narrow the non-job alternative focus either further. Today, without question, the most unique and lucrative opportunities are the ones where you use you computer to run an online e-business. Why is this such an exciting option?

Because you can get into without fuss, quickly and with a modest investment of time and money. In other words, if you can use your computer for browsing, emailing or gaming, you’ve already got the technical skills to run an e-business successfully.

Part of the reason for that is because of the tremendous advance in e-business technology–just in the past couple years. For example, there are turnkey programs that have done all the programming you need. These amazing internet resources can have you up and running in a matter of minutes because all the hard work is already done for you.

And the variety of non-job alternative e-business opportunities is incredible! In fact, I’ve never seen anything like it. But you have to be careful.

Unfortunately, there are scams out there. So you need to explore your non-job alternatives with intelligence. Don’t jump into anything without checking out the business plan carefully. Make sure it can verify what kind of money you can make. And that it has a long-term track record of success.

Be sure the e-business plan you’re considering has a money back guarantee. In other words, you want the chance to try it on for size say for a month. And if it’s not working the way you expected, you can get your money back.

However, you also must be realistic. Nothing is going to happen if you’re unwilling to invest some time and energy, especially learning how to market and sell your product or services. After all, we’re talking about a business here. A stagnant business is no business.

On the other hand, if you never consider a non-job alternative, you’ll be missing out on one of the great movements of the 21st Century!

Just curious for your thoughts. How much do you trust mainstream television news, and news papers…. Would you seek out Alternative News sources, or do you just not care? I know there are polls, but I’d like to see some narratives.

I suspect that they don’t.
Money and advertising prevents them from reporting the truth about pollution, business abuses, lawsuits, etc… The fact that most media outlets are owned by a cooperative oligarchy means that we’ll never hear any news that isn’t pro-business or at least sympathetic to business.
Our masters rule through commercialism. We are domesticated animals whose purpose is the consumption of materialistic garbage. Our whole world is based on rich white men brainwashing us into buying plastic junk made by slaves overseas so that they can steal the fruits of our labor.
We have been stripped of all the things that truly matter: companionship, community and intimacy. These things have been taken from us because our free time has been taken from us. We work constantly just to obtain the basic inputs necessary for survival. We are so exhausted from our efforts that the only enjoyable thing we have the energy or time for is TV or shopping.
The "news" is just part of the system that controls us.
Think about politics. Democrat vs. Republican vs. Centrist; does this truly cover the realm of political ideas? To say this is the equivalent to saying the religion is Methodist vs. Baptist vs. Lutheran. Certainly, there is more to choose from in religion than these three relatively similar sects. But when people are exposed to politics on TV, they seem to accept this narrowing of ideas.

Our news fails. They sell us what they tell us we want. We never get what we need: truth.
Journalism, done properly, is a SCIENCE. It is the science of data mining, of searching for the context of the data, of seeing the historical narrative and most importantly being objective.
The "liberal" bias that the news agencies are accused of is usually just an attack leveled at any news item that achieves this scientific goal.
