| Andrew, the Smoke Master | | 2008-07-15 15:00:00 | | Lon's cousin Andrew asked for a smoker as his graduation present. What a smart guy! He's been practicing for weeks, many hours at a time, honing his smoking skills and was finally ready to show it off... and we were lucky enough to be called in as taste testers.Andrew's brisket was nicely smoked and the sauce he created was perfect. I had to eat just one more piece even though I was bursting from the seems. He has perfectly mastered creating the pink ring that indicates a perfectly smoked piece of barbecue. And his sauce is well balanced with onions and tang. The left-overs we smuggled home made great sandwiches the next day.Of course, Aunt Heather wasn't going to let us come without a feast! She tried a new dish of Blistered New Potatoes with cipollini onions, Garlicky Shrimp Kebabs, and a great salad. Afterwards we found room in our already stuffed bellies for Blueberry Crumble and Stern-Family specials: the Poppy Seed Cookies.Lon would go nuts if I didn't give a special mention | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

As you get older you notice yourself slowing down. At least I did. You wake up in the morning and feel it in your lungs. I started eating healthy and took up bicycling again. This made me feel a lot better now all I had to do was quit my worse habit, smoking. I tried several times before to stop smoking and I never lasted more than a few weeks. You get up in the morning and you want a smoke. Have a beer or coffee and you want a smoke. After every meal, well it was time for another smoke. I tried hypnotism, the patch, pills and sheer will power only to find myself smoking again in a few weeks. I won't even mention the amount of money I wasted on this stuff.

| Why People Smoke | | 2008-03-14 13:34:02 | | Now that we are all highly aware of the dangers of smoking, it may be hard to understand why people smoke these days. Individuals take up smoking for a number of reasons, often at a young age when they are likely to be influenced by friends or groups they consider would make the best friends. Young people often see smoking as cool, giving the impression that they are more sophisticated than they actually feel and likely to help them attract sexual partners. Others begin smoking early in life because the people they live or socialize with are smokers.One of the predominant reasons people smoke is to gain a sense of belonging, which is closely linked to self esteem. This is particularly dangerous amongst children, who are often bullied at school and so do everything they can to become part of the in group, in order to feel accepted and to stop the terrible mistreatment inflicted by members of that group. So smoking starts for psychological reasons, rather than because you enjoy it. Your | | By: Health Articles - Information on Health, Health Ca | | |

In a new research report published in the March 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal, researchers from the University of California, Davis, show that hydrogen peroxide (or similar oxidants) in cigarette smoke is the culprit. This finding may help the tobacco industry develop “safer” cigarettes by eliminating such substances in the smoke, while giving medical researchers a new avenue to developing lung cancer treatments.

| More Tips to Reduce Wood Smoke Pollution | | 2008-01-09 11:48:00 | | OK, so you have your CSA/EPA certified wood stove, and have properly prepared, seasoned and stored your wood for maximum burning efficiency (see previous posts…) Here are some burning tips to help you get the most enjoyment and efficiency out of your stove: Starting the FireAlways start the fire with small pieces of wood or kindling lit with crumpled newspaper. Completely open the air supply vent. When the fire from the kindling subsides, add several small pieces of firewood. Gradually increase the size of the wood as the coals build up. Stack wood loosely in your firebox, so plenty of air circulates around it. Your fire will burn hot and efficiently rather than smoulder and generate wood smoke. Maintaining the FireKeep the flame bright and lively. Your fire should only smoke for a few minutes when you first light it and when you add extra wood. Keep enough air in the fire to maintain a flame. Don't let your fire smoulder overnight. Use a self powered wood stove fan to move the hot air from your wood stove to other parts of the room or house. These fans run silently by themselves with no electricity or batteries needed. Simply leave the fan on the top of the stove. The hotter your stove, the faster it spins. Available at home improvement stores, wood stove retailers and on the internet. Chimney Concerns Here's how your chimney can help you determine if you are using your appliance correctly:Check your chimney regularly to see how well your fire is doing. Excessive smoke coming from your chimney is a sign of poor combustion as is dark and smelly smoke. Try increasing the air supply to your fire. If a fire smokes for more than 30 minutes when you start it, or more than a few minutes when you add wood, there is a problem with the wood, the operating method or both.Check the chimney regularly for a build-up of soot or creosote.

| Reducing Wood Smoke Pollution | | 2008-01-07 11:38:00 | | Wood smoke contains over 100 pollutants -- these pollutants not only negatively impact the environment but are also linked to a wide range of health problems. According to Environment Canada, residential wood combustion is a major contributor to winter smog. However, by choosing a wood stove that has been certified for low emissions by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the US or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), you can significantly reduce the wood smoke emissions you produce. Another way to reduce the amount of pollutants coming from your wood heating appliance is to only burn properly prepared and seasoned firewood. Here are some important tips to consider: Wood Condition & Seasoning Firewood needs to be dry. Obtain your firewood in early spring and allow it to dry over the summer months. Stack it outside, covered and off the ground with room for air to circulate freely between the pieces. Dry firewood has checks or cracks in the ends of the logs. It is darker at the ends and weighs less than freshly cut wood. Firewood should not look nor feel rotten.Signs that your firewood is not dry enough:The wood is hard to ignite.The wood hisses and sizzles in the firebox.The fire produces more smoke than heat. Log Size Use small, finely split pieces of firewood. Small pieces have more surface exposed to the flame and will burn cleaner. They produce short, hot fires. Larger pieces can be used to maintain extended firing cycles. Tree Species Ideallly, burn a mixture of hardwood and softwood; it maintains the forest's natural diversity. Make sure the wood is harvested from sustainable forests. Hardwood is the preferred firewood since it produces longer lasting burn, but any type of dry wood will burn. Softwood needs to be used in larger quantities but is also the most common wood on Canada's coasts and northern areas.Tomorrow:Starting and maintaining your fire for maximum efficiency.

| Smoke Longhair - Longhaired Cats | | 2007-12-31 23:16:00 | | Picture: Tortoiseshell Smoke LonghairTortoiseshell Smoke LonghairA female-only variety, the Tortie has a white coat tipped in patches of black, red, and cream. The face and feet should be a solid colour, and a red or cream facial blaze is considered a desirable feature.As the British standard describes it, this is a beautiful "cat of contrasts". Deep tipping gives the appearance of a solid colour, but when the cat moves, the pale undercoat shows through momentarily to produce a delightful shimmer. Keeping the coat in optimum condition is a time-consuming task, and preparation for a sow may take weeks. Showing is generally best left for the winter months, because bright sunlight can cause the coat to fade.HistoryThought to have originated from chance mattings between Blacks, Blues, Whites, and Chinchillas, the Smoke Longhair is mentioned in the record books as early as 1860, and appeared in the first cat shows. Numbers quickly declined, however: only eighteen were registered in 1912, with the breed becoming almost extinct by the end of World War II. The 1960s saw a revival of interest, and although still uncommon, the breed's future is undoubtedly assured.Temperament"Smokey" has the relaxed, good natured, and gentle character typical of most Longhairs.VarietiesOnly the black-tipped and blue-tipped varieties of the Smoke are recognized in both Great Britain and the US. Other varieties have tipping in tortoiseshell, chocolate, lilac, and blue-cream. All varieties have orange or copper eyes.HeadRound and broad, with a sort nose. Black nose pad.

| *Why Smoke? | | 2007-11-27 02:29:37 | | One day as I was walking along Quezon Avenue, I saw this group of young girls in school uniforms. They were about 14 years of age. And, they were holding cigarettes. I was a bit shocked and I wondered why they were doing this. As I recall during my time, I haven’t seen girls at that age who smoke. How come this has become a practice even amongst the youngsters? What is really the reason why people start to smoke?According to the people I’ve met who smoke, one reason why they started doing it is, out of curiosity. They want to find out for themselves what it feels like to smoke. As soon as that curiosity is satisfied, then they can either decide if it’s for them or not. Most of the time though, that one trial time is the start of a habit that’s hard to break. They may start to get curious as early as during elementary school days, especially among boys. Others start to try it out in college amidst their exams to pass, requirements to finish or celebrations to enjoy. The age when people start to smoke is actually varied and is a case to case basis.Another reason why we see yosi people is, for a cool image. When going out on gimiks or when spending time with friends, some think of themselves as cool when they smoke, to show off to their friends that they can carry on with smoking, in style. Media plays a big role in this by indirectly promoting it through movies, ads and the likes.Others smoke to release stress. After long hours spent at work, some must have yosi breaks, in order to have a change of setting and a fresh mind to start or continue the tasks at hand.And just after eating, some prefer to smoke. This is done out of habit. It’s as if it is a need to smoke after a heavy meal. Just like the need to drink water or eat dessert after eating.And so as I glanced back at those teens in school uniforms, I hope our government does something to prevent minors from smoking. We’re warned that cigarette smoking is dangerous to our health, and we all know it wil | | By: PHILIPPINES | | |

| Second-hand Smoke Exposure Linked to Psychological Problems in Children | | 2007-06-29 22:26:06 | | The first evidence linking mothers’ second-hand smoke exposure while pregnant to their child’s attention deficit disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder has been published in the current issue of Child Psychiatry and Human Development. ADHD and conduct disorder behaviors are called externalizing psychopathology with symtoms that include aggressive behavior, ADHD, defiance and conduct disorder.
The study compared patterns of psychopathology among three groups of children aged 7 to 15 years, all of whom had significant behavioral and/or emotional problems. Children in group 1 did not experience prenatal smoke exposure. Group 2 mothers smoked during the last two trimsters of pregnancy. Group 3 mothers were only exposed to second-hand smoke at home or at work in the final two trimesters of pregnancy. In total, 171 children (primarily boys) and 133 women participated in the study.
Researchers found that children whose mothers had been exposed to tobacco smoke either by smoking or e | | By: Highlight HEALTH | | |

| Don’t smoke in bed, please! | | 2007-05-28 02:57:04 | | Here’s a case of a guy from Wirral near Liverpool, England, who was literally killed by cigarettes. From the accounts of this news, he was smoking in bed when he accidentally dropped the cigarette on his mattress, causing it to blaze up and killing him in the process. He could not get up from it because he was disabled and therefore confined to the bed. But I guess, as with most smokers, who finds it hard to kick the habit, he could not help himself when he lit that cigarette while lying on the mattress. And of course, that would be the last time he would pop one.
A BED-RIDDEN heavy smoker was killed after flames engulfed his bed, an inquest at Wallasey Town Hall heard. Johhn Weir Gray’s home in Grange Road West, Birkenhead, was already on the fire service’s high-risk register when he was dragged out of the inferno in February.
Mr Gray, who was described as a “chronic alcoholic,” had accidentally dropped a cigarette down the side of his bed, a fire investi | | By: Mattresszine | | |
