Raising Organic Foods
Feb 7th
Have you ever considered raising your own organic foods? Are you tired of purchasing foods at the store which are full of pesticides and other toxins? With spring coming in the next few months it might be a great time to consider raising your own food. Organically grown food at home taste better and is better for you. If you have not grown your own foods before you may consider starting off small. Start by planning a small garden space in your backyard. Make sure to use clean organic soil and try to fertilize with natural or organic fertilizers. You More >

It was a shock to him and his family when he found out he had colon cancer and would have to have chemotherapy, radiation and then surgery. The chemotherapy and radiation went fine and so did his surgery except for few complications. The real shock to him came when he was prescribed medications More >

I am sure most people have heard of Walgreens pharmacies. Express Scripts, a medical insurance network provider has decided it will no longer pay for prescriptions filled by Walgreens pharmacies nationwide as well as Duane Reade pharmacies in the New York City area.

I run several businesses and like to take my laptop with me when I travel as most business people do. Even people who are vacationing or traveling for leisure take their laptops on their trips now. When traveling you must connect to unsecured networks in motels, coffee houses and restaurants. This fact makes your computer much more vulnerable to malware and viruses. My laptop contracted a virus a couple of years ago and it took me forever to get More >
Help Your Favorite Vendors Get Serious With Lighting
Nov 30th
Electric lights in the past have traditionally used a significant amount of power. We are so attached to lighting; the chance of using a smaller number of light producing appliances is not very great.

You probably have replaced your lighting in your home with energy saving light bulbs such as fluorescent or LED. This is the first step to becoming more environmentally friendly with the More >
