4) If anyone has any other useful hints of food preservation, please let me know.

Any information would be welcome. So all my organic gardening, food preserving knowledge master, hippie friends, send me an answer please!

Thanks!!!
I should mention. We are using an organic heirloom seed company for our garden. So I am not sure if that would make it easier to yeild seeds for replant in the future?

I’ve applied for a job as a receptionist for a local seed company. My job history is mainly healthcare, but I’ve volunteered as a secretary at my church so I do have some office skills. I was wondering what a receptionist does besides answer phones and greet customers. Any information will be helpful!

These latin names constitute the scientific name for each species.After the description section, the next information are the technical ones. First, every supplier will have a monitor measure.

Information marketing is not only about getting the information to the niche group. Info marketing also deals with coaching and developing the business. After all, you did not become an infoprenuer have only one, one hit wonder, did you? If you had, you would not be reading this article and learning how to cultivate yourself from your current level to that of the Information Marketing Specialist.

As the president of the Information Marketing Association, I host monthly coaching calls for info-marketers who have questions and are trying to launch their infopreneur business. Here is a question from Kelly in Oklahoma about the best way to design a coaching program that acts as a follow up from a seminar. Since this is a common question, I have decided to prepare an article about this challenge to help you.

This situation is a bit different in the fact that Kelly is not marketing his program in the same methods as we previously discussed. In this situation, Kelly will be speaking at a seminar hosted by another group. This is a plus in Kelly’s favor because he is walking into a positive situation loaded with prospects. Think about it in this way. The promoters have already seeded the group and they know what the topics are. More importantly, they know who will be there. They have the interest. Now it is up to the Infoprenuer to have what it takes to capture and keep their attention.

In designing a coaching program as a follow-up to a seminar, you will first need to speak with the person or persons who extended to you the speaking invitation. It is professional courtesy to respect them by letting them know about your program. Depending on the situation, they may want to be in on the proceeds of the coaching program. After all, if it were not for them, you never would have met the potential clients. The coaching program needs to be in the best interests of the coach as well as the theoretical student. You may decide to work with a group in a specific area, or you may choose that no one else in a specific area may enter the program. You may also choose to do seminars, conference calls, emails or even one-on-one meetings to add value to your coaching.

Regardless of the way you have designed the program, starting from a seminar is a beneficial way to go. You will already have ideas to the needs of the clients, as well as to what their interest level may be. Let that knowledge guide you to not only make yourself successful, but them too!

There have never been greater, more diverse, more lucrative opportunities for everyone- experienced, successful entrepreneurs to rank beginners-in the field of information marketing. If you can name a topic, there is a market for providing information about it. People buy information about almost everything-from hobbyist topics like dog training, to business topics like how to sell over the telephone, to self-improvement topics like fitness walking. The key is to find a responsive market and then package the information that customers want in convenient forms such as DVD’s, books, eBooks, cd’s, magazines, websites, teleseminars, webinars, coaching programs, seminars and conferences.

Omega 3 and omega 6 are contained in essential fatty acids. Foods that contain essential fatty acids include Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Avocados, Flax Seed/Oil and Hemp Seed/Oil.

I live in Houston, and this is a picture or the plant in question http://www.flickr.com/photos/7372796@N07/424302158/ . Any chance anyone knows what type of jasmine it is? This jasmine vine is on a nearby fence, and I want to know what type it is because some varieties are fatal to dogs (and I’m slightly concerned about my own dog, who is all too willing to eat random things off the ground). This website http://www.petfriendlyhouse.com/information/Plants/non_poisonous_plants.aspx lists some types of jasmine as non-toxic to dogs, while this website http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/vme/DrSue/poisplnt.html lists all jasmine as potentially deadly. Does anyone know which jasmine plants are actually toxic and which are non-toxic? And which parts the toxic varieties are poisonous? (Leaves? Stems? Flowers? Seeds or berries? All parts?) Thanks in advance.

Charles Stewart Richey asked:


We’ve all seen those funny little clay animals that sprout hair when watered. They are covered in chia seed. They have been around for years and have become an American tradition. Who would have thought that those same tiny seeds would now be considered an important source of nutrition?

Chia comes from the Aztec word, “chian”, which means oily. It is high in omega-3 fatty acid; in fact it has more than any other grain – even more than flax seed. It has the perfect omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. This unsaturated fatty acid is essential for most successful functions of the body.

Since 2,500 B.C. chia seed have been used as human food. Known as “the running food”, these seeds were cultivated by the ancient Mayans and Aztecs. We are just now beginning to discover the importance of this grain.

Chia is loaded with calcium, boron and other necessary minerals; antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. It is a complete source of protein, with all the amino acids in perfect balance. It is indeed the perfect food. The ancient Aztecs valued chia to the extent that it was traded as currency. In those times anything which could increase endurance and control the appetite, was considered invaluable. It enabled them to sustain themselves on long hunting expeditions and war raids.

Chia seed has the ability to absorb approximately 12 times its weight in liquid. Because of this factor, it is a dieter’s dream come true. If made into what is called “chia gel”, it becomes a nutritious drink that fills you up, thus decreasing the appetite. To make this gel, simply add 1/3 cup chia seed to two cups of water. Stir well, breaking up any clumps and store in the refrigerator for twelve hours before drinking. You can store it there for at least two weeks. I make mine in a glass bottle with a tight fitting lid.

Drinking a third cup of chia gel at the onset of acid reflux can eliminate it for many people. Try drinking that much three times a day. It might prevent acid reflux from occurring at all. I know of people who swallow a teaspoon of raw seeds if they experience acid reflux. The seeds absorb the acid just as they do water. Of course you wouldn’t want to ingest too much raw seed at a time unless you have a tremendous amount of acid… it might absorb your stomach. It is best to be conservative and find out what is effective for you.

Chia has other beneficial qualities, as well. It has a neutral taste. It is very easily digested and assimilated. It is soothing to the stomach and esophagus and it has healing properties. Like slippery elm, it is rich in mucilloid soluble fiber, thus allowing it to quell the burning pain of acid reflux in the esophagus and stomach. In ancient times the Indians used it to prevent infection and accelerate healing time, by packing the seed into open wounds.

Chia gel can be incorporated into many other foods without diluting flavor, while displacing fat and calories. It works brilliantly to enhance flavor while replacing fat. For these reasons, chia gel should be an important, if not vital, part of the acid reflux diet.

For breakfast it can be mixed with hot oatmeal, pancakes, and biscuits dough. It’s delicious mixed into scrambled eggs. Ground chia seed can be used in baking bread or as a simple topping on many dishes. Use chia seed gel in yogurt, jams and jellies. Its great mixed into polenta, grits, smoothies and milk shakes. Try it in you favorite blended health mix drink.

Chia gel can be added to soups, salad dressings and even the stuffing that you put in a chicken. The possibilities are practically endless. Try introducing ¼ cup of chia gel into your favorite potato salad recipe, reducing the mayonnaise, in like. It can be used in many baking recipes as a substitution for fat.

Put it the kid’s food. They will never know the difference, as it actually enhances the flavor of food. They will love it! Feed it to your dogs. I put it in my fourteen year old Jack Russell Terrier’s food every day. Not only does he have better digestion and energy, he has better bowel movements. By the way, the F.D.A considers chia a food with an established history of safe consumption.

Chia gel slows the release of carbohydrates and their conversion to glucose (blood sugar). So, besides controlling acid reflux, loosing weight, increasing endurance, chia has the added benefit of reducing blood sugar and hypertension. Because of its high unsaturated fatty acid content, it can even help with prostate problems. I do not think anyone could go wrong by making chia seed a part of their every day life. Because of its incredible health-giving aspects, chia seed is the perfect food for everyone. It is certainly a Godsend for the acid reflux sufferer, in so many ways.

So try chia seed now. You have nothing to loose but a little weight. You could improve your digestion and overall health. It’s certainly worth a try.

I live in Northern Mississippi. We have recently started clearing some property and notice some trees that we would like to know more about. They seem to grow in clumps, have very curvy trunks, the leaves look like fern and they seem to flower, though the flowers have all turned brown and gone to seed. The flowers look like upright lilacs. The trees that we are finding stand about 6 feet tall with a nice spread on the branches. Anyone have any information, it would be appreciated.
