Duncraft Solves Squirrel Problems with Innovative and Entertaining Diversion Squirrel Feeders and Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders
Concord, NH (ContentDesk) May 13, 2006 -- Duncraft, the catalog and website for wild bird and nature enthusiasts, knows all the tricks when it comes to making peace with your furry backyard nemesis. Duncraft carries the best selection of squirrel proof bird feeders and an exciting selection of playful diversion feeders to distract their attention away from your bird feeders. If you need a reliable squirrel solution, you'll find it at www.duncraft.com.Sharon Dunn, president of Duncraft says, "Even customers who adore squirrels don't want them bothering their bird feeders!
Our squirrel proof caged tube feeders let birds eat while keeping squirrels out. These Haven and Selective feeders feature easy clean removable bases in their tubes.
Our new Squirrel Blocker feeders, the popular Squirrel Blocker Platform, Metal Advantage and Champion feeders, all feature our double grid system that keeps squirrel paws out of reach of your seed." While Duncraft carries a large selection of squirrel baffles for feeders, Sharon Dunn describes more playful methods sometimes called squirrel toys -- for managing squirrel activity.
Recently we held an online contest for winning the war on squirrels. Hundreds of clever ideas were submittedand our winner included diversion feeding in his tactics.
Diversion feeders keep squirrels occupied and away from bird feeders and offer them their favorite foods such as corn on the cob and peanuts.
These diversions are great entertainment for the entire family!
On our new Squirrel Powered Seed Wheel squirrels quickly learn that a slight movement of the wheel releases a small amount of seedbefore you know it, they're spinning the wheel like its a game--providing food for the birds as well as for themselves!
At Pandora's Box squirrels simply lift the lid and reach in with their paws to pull out their favorite snack. Theres even a Squirrel Kob Bungee Feeder -- so simple and slightly whacky! An ear of corn attaches to the end of the bungee feederand squirrels bounce up and down while they eat. Second only to songbirds, squirrels are the most fed and observed animals. Their teeth are constantly growing to compensate for wear, so squirrels keep them "filed down" by constantly chewing.
They even grind their teeth while they are sleeping! And contrary to the opinion of some birders, a squirrels' stomach is not a bottomless pit. They need about a pound of food per week and enjoy a varied diet of bugs, nuts, fruit and seeds. Ecologically, squirrels are important re-seeders of trees and woodland plantsbusily burying their stash of nuts and seeds in preparation for winter. A squirrel can hide as many as 10,000 nuts each fall and can find his buried food under as much as a foot of winter snow.
Some of these nuts and seeds are not retrieved and grow into plants in the spring.
Squirrels' winter survival is dependent on remembering where he has deposited his caches.
And what's fascinating is that the portion of his brain that controls memory actually grows by 15% in fall; so squirrels really do remember where they stored all those nuts--and where your bird feeders are!

Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
By Jeannie Crabtree
Mom was right to insist on us eating our vegetables. She knew they built health and gave us the minerals we need.
Take Broccoli sprouts. Broccoli sprouts are rich in a compound that provides significant protection against breast cancer and colon cancer. The compound is called sulforaphane glucosinalate.
Sprouts grown from certain types of broccoli seeds contain up to 50 times more of this compound than mature broccoli.
I have read that a brand of sprouts developed at John Hopkins University is guaranteed to have 20 more times the SGS compound than the mature broccoli. This one is called BroccoSprouts.
You can purchase broccoli sprouts at your local health food store or grocery store.
It is possible that Broccoli sprouts could carry the
bacteria that make you sick - salmonella and e.coli, so you may want to take them out of the container...

Songs That Will Never Win A Grammy
(ContentDesk) July 6, 2005 -- The very unknown, very unpopular and very uncommercial RockPopJazzClassical group "the primeTime sublime Community Orchestra" (pTsCO) wants to be famous. They've tried everything: dressed up in weird costumes, smashed their violins on stage, dated famous actresses and even appeared in a sex video.
After 2 minor selling albums and performances in empty concert halls around the world, the pTsCO have released their 3rd CD "Songs That Will Never Win A Grammy". The album is sure to be ignored by The New York Times and all the other major publications, radio and media outlets.Utilizing the latest voice synthesis technology developed by AT&T and the Yamaha Corporation, all of the songs on the new CD are sung by a computer. "Songs That Will Never Win A Grammy" is an eclectic mix of pop songs and soundbites with contributions by Richard Nixon, Hillary Clinton, both George Bushes, and other celebrities.
From the majestic opening of "Curb Your God"...

Can Chinese Medicine Help You Quit Smoking?
Addiction is now the biggest preventable killer in Britain, causing 150,000 deaths a year (120,000 tobacco related, 33,000 alcohol related and 1,700 drugs related).
How can Chinese medicine help with addiction?
Chinese medicine has beneficial effects on addiction to various substances. The most commonly treated addictions at AcuMedic clinics are smoking and alcoholism.
Smoking has a detrimental impact on all major systems of the human body, in particular, the circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems. In Chinese medical theory, smoking weakens the Lung's function of commanding the overall movement of Qi, Blood and Meridians, by creating Heat in the Lung and Stomach, which in turn will cause Fire in the Heart and/or stagnation of Liver Qi, hence withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, palpitations, mood swings and restlessness occur.
Chinese medicine can reduce the craving for cigarettes. Studies show that patients...

Why The Internet Doesn't Work
I started selling things in the fifth grade. Seeds, door to door.Some of my friends would try that for a couple days, too. Even amonth.

"Yes, I read the directions."Did you follow the directions? "I already told you I read them!"That's not what I asked.
