How To Remodel A Bird Feeder

Remodeling A Bird Feeder - 0ld

We bought an old hanging bird feeder made of cedar for $2.00. In the image above you can see the price sticker. Although it is hard to tell in the image, the feeder was pretty rough, dirty and chewed on. We decided to remodel the feeder to enhance the beauty of it, as well as to make the feeder last longer. Cedar feeders are great to remodel because the wood is soft and easy to work with. We sanded all of the inside and outside that we could get to after opening the feeder and taking some of the screws out. We cleaned the glass and replaced the rusted screws and eye hooks with new ones. We used a natural wood finish made of walnut oil and beeswax, (discussed on another post on our site). Below is the newly remodeled feeder.

Finding Dental Products That Are Less Toxic

Some dental products used by dentists are more toxic than others. Dentists have not had the best track record when it comes to the use of non-toxic products in their practice of dentistry. Many dentists still use amalgam, which contains mercury and other heavy metals. It is well worth your time and effort to research what they are going to inject into your blood stream or install into your mouth. Many of these products are carcinogenic and/or leech into your saliva the entire duration of their life in your mouth. Beyond Amalgams, there are materials for fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, anesthetics, bonding agents, cements, seals and more. This article is written to let you know you that you can choose less toxic options and avoid dangerous substances such as mercury, and that you can choose the least toxic materials for fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, anesthetics, bonding agents, cements, seals and more.

"Currently, dental amalgams are composed of 43% to 54% by weight of mercury and the remaining powder is made up of mainly silver (~20-35%) and some tin, copper (~10%), and zinc (~2%)."

Dr. Cook (http://www.dentistryhealth.com/) has been studying dental health for many many years. What should I know about mercury in fillings? According to Dr. Cook "Mercury (silver amalgam), after being placed in the mouth as a filling, is known to give off damaging toxic fumes while chewing or drinking something hot. Silver amalgam, the most commonly used filling in general dentistry, is largely composed of mercury. See the Material Safety Data Sheet on "MERCURY" that explains the dangers of mercury to patient health."


How To Resolve Intermittent WiFi Connections

Image Place Holder

Intermittent WiFi Connections can drag down your productivity and your enjoyment online. Having your connection speed up and slow down and stop altogether then go again can drive one crazy. Especially if the connection was working fine and you did not make any changes to your software or hardware. How can you tell if the problem is the modem, OOMA, router, Wifi adapter, browser or who knows what else? We searched the Internet and asked one of the experts we know and here are some of the tips we found to be the most useful.

"Changing from mixed, to Wireless G only, and changing channels from channel 6 to 11 made our connection much much more stable."

Intermittent Means the connection is inconsistent...

Interference:

"Is there anything else connected to the cable modem, like a TV, DVD or VCR? You might disconnect them as a test, to see if they are interfering. Cordless phone interference? Any standard 2.4Ghz device near a WiFi device could cause interference issues."

Mixed Mode:

"If you can, go with only one or the other, B or G mode. Different adapters running in different modes could certainly create issues or bog down the connection. B would be more robust and reliable, but limited to 11 MB/sec. If it's just the Internet involved, and more than one PC is not networked together transferring data between them, 11 MB/sec should be fine unless your broadband speed exceeds that."


Free Yourself And Your Router With Open Source

Our router is what allows all the computers in the house to connect to the modem and thus the Internet. So when it is not working correctly all our online activites either slow down or come to a halt. At VitalBodies we like open source and heard about an open source firmware for routers. DD-WRT is a free open source firmware that you can use in most routers.

"We especially like all the real time graphs that show the status of the router, signal and bandwidth."

According to their web site: DD-WRT is a Linux based alternative OpenSource firmware suitable for a great variety of WLAN routers and embedded systems. The main emphasis lies on providing the easiest possible handling while at the same time supporting a great number of functionalities within the framework of the respective hardware platform used.
