I am aiming for a public health nurse position in Seattle. Just wondering how the community thinks and feels about how effective it is in education, outreach, public health service?
Meh. They’re ok. It’s not really much of an issue, which is a good thing because not being in the news does at least mean that they’re not making glaring errors…
I have recently planted six different rose bushes in my backyard garden and they did great at first but now disaster has struck! These shiny green beetles have been eating and mating all over my poor roses. Also one bush started losing branches to a possibly fungal disease. Could you please recommend pesticides/fungicides to cure my rose garden?
My advise is whatever you do Don’t by Beetle Traps! It will do the opposite of what you want and draw more beetles to your yard. I think it was just someones idea to make some money.
I would go to your local garden center and ask for a systemic insecticide. It usually comes in granule form and you spread it out around your plants root system and water it in. Your plant will absorb the insecticide and distribute it throughout the plant. When a bug tries to bite it, it will kill it. It can take up to two weeks to start working but it will last for at least 4 months. In the meantime I would spray a topical insecticide to kill the ones that are there now.
If you are growing roses you should be on a schedule of at least every 14 days to spray your roses for fungal disease. Black Spot being the most prevalent. I would cut out the bad parts of the branches, rake any fallen leaves from underneath them and get them sprayed.
I work in a chip shop and so obviously go home covered in grease. Is there any way this could affect my weight or skin? Also, can calories be consumed through breathing it in? I don’t eat any fast food so i’d be gutted to find out all this is getting into my body.
Hahaha look the acai berry promoters are spamming every question with false testimonial ads by answering questions that aren’t even related to losing weight.
No you do not gain weight if the grease goes all over your body. You have to swallow or ingest or inhale it so that you digest it then absorb it into your blood before it is stored as fat. Oil vapours can be inhaled but I’m not sure if that will make you fat… I do know or rather think that inhalation of high temperature oil vapours might be carcinogenic… they are radical, harmful substances that at those temperatures become volatile and dangerous, capable of damaging the DNA of cells lining our throats and nasal passages.
Outside of their work, the same as the rest of us – get an interest and go for it.
For example, I enjoy walking and anyone can do that – get a map, some kit and off you go. As you get experience then you progress to harder and longer walks, perhaps a bit of rock scramblinbg as well. Same with say climbing, go on a course, learn the basics, practice and go for it.
In work, there are lots of training that can be provided with parallels to outdoor activities. For example, the fire brigade learn about working on ropes and abseiling – now just move from the training tower to a cliff face and its an outdoor activity. Look at the training you can get and there are things you can do.
Also the uniformed public services encourage that type of thing.
Then there are groups of enthusiasts within the service (and many large companies) – there might be a local hill walking group, or climbing group.
Their work can be very similar to outdoor activities and to practice and train would encompass what most people call an outdoor activity. Having said that, it looses its ploeasure a little when you are trying to save someones life as opposed to going out for fun.
Kind of sweetener and colorants used in Crystal Light products.
It depends on why you ask. I’ve been on some boards that think the stuff is cancer in a box. I don’t put much stock in that kind of talk myself. I’ve personally been drinking it and it’s generic counter parts for nearly 30 years with no problems. IMO, it helps me drink more water and that ain’t a bad thing : )
Before you answer, consider these facts…
#1- The Steelers are about to become only the 3rd team since the
merger to finish the year #1 against the run, #1 against the pass,
and #1 in overall defense.
#2- They’re accomplishing that while facing the 2nd hardest strength
of schedule of any team in the last 30 years.
#3- They’re #1 in every defensive category despite a 26th ranked
offense that provides their defense very little rest.
#4- They are projected to send FIVE to the Probowl (Harrison,
Polamalu, Hampton, Taylor & Woodley)
#5- They have TWO guys threatening for Defensive Player Of The Year
(Harrison- 2nd in sacks, 1st in forced fumbles), (Polamalu- leading
league in interceptions).
#6- They are a game away from breaking the record since the merger
for consecutive games holding opponents under 300 yards.
#7- You have to go back SIX GAMES to find a team that’s scored more
than 13 points against them.
The thing that’s really amazing is the Steelers are putting up these type of numbers against THE HARDEST SCHEDULE IN THE LEAGUE, and the 2nd hardest schedule statistically in the modern era.
HOWEVER, there’s some good counterpoints that could be made, such as…
#1- Does playing half their schedule at sloppy Heinz Field where points
are hard to come by disproportionately inflate their stats?
#2- Does playing a mostly outdoor coldweather schedule in a northern
division ALSO inflate their stats?
#3- Can you really call them one of the best ever until/unless it
carries them to a Super Bowl?
A good case can be made either way…tell me your thoughts…
1976 Pittsburgh Steelers had the best defense ever
The Steelers defenses of the 1970s are legendary, but the 1976 unit was the best (slightly better than the ‘75 squad). Here’s why: 28. That’s how many points the Steel Curtain surrendered in the last nine games of the season. That’s a total. As a result, Pittsburgh, which started the season 1-4, made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game, which they lost to the Raiders 24-7. (It’s worth noting that Pittsburgh running backs Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier were both injured in that contest.)
The ‘76 Steelers didn’t have it easy — their opponents had a .528 winning percentage. But they had these guys: Hall of Famers Mean Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham and Mel Blount. And eight Steelers defensive players made the 1976 Pro Bowl team: cornerback J.T. Thomas, defensive end L.C. Greenwood, Greene, Ham, Lambert, defensive back Glen Edwards, safety Mike Wagner, and Blount.
It’s a little colony on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. I think they’re mostly abandoned. They do have a little cathouse to live in, and are fed and paid attention to quite regularly.
We went for a visit (and to drop off some food that had been rejected by our own cat) last night, and I started wondering about definitions of ‘feral.’
Their Wikipedia entry:

Their blog:

(photos at each)
Willingness to be petted, regular vet care (inc’l spay/neuter), plenty of cat food, a regular sleeping place with a roof, etc, does not scream ‘feral’ to me. (But I don’t know that they have litterboxes, or any of the softer comforts of truly domestic cats.) There is an entry for them on the Wikipedia "feral cat" page;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_cat#The_Cats_of_Canada.27s_Parliament
but it doesn’t answer my question. Comments?
i think that most of them started out feral and then the man that was taking care of them tamed a lot of them i saw a wonderful documentry on the cats on either the discovery channel or animal planet.
Standards for what? NFPA’s life safety code has standards for health care facilities. Other codes have standards for things like lab ventilation & health care isolation. ASHRAE has a book on HVAC & ventilation. All are in the library.
My husband and I need health insurance. He is a full time student and I am full time worker. We cannot get decent health insurance through his school or my work. We are looking for a low deductable, 0% coinsurance, and we need something with great maternity coverage, since we’re planning on starting a family soon. If you know of any great plans like this, please share! Thank you for your help!
So you want an isnurance policy that will pay out 2 dollars for every 1 dollar you pay in premiums. Those companies are bankrupt. They don’t pay their claims anyway. You should take a look at my agents website he can get you great coverage.
I just noticed that not drinking alot of water for the longest time since I can remember has been damaging my health. I think this is why I have so little energy
I plan to start drinking more water, what differences should I see in my health afterward?
Well you’ll be more hydrated and will have more energy. You might also want to start jogging or biking, you’ll see a huge difference in energy levels. =)
