Smoking Toddler Video Shocks North Americans

Here in North America you never, ever hear of a baby or toddler smoking. Even the worst of parents wouldn't hand their toddler a cigarette, so when the parents of an Indonesian toddler were video taped talking about their son's nicotine addiction like it was not that big of a deal, it became a "huge deal" in the United States and Canada.

There's over a dozen video clips of the toddler smoking posted on You Tube, and the videos have received over half of a million views so far. The crazy thing is that this smoking toddler is not uncommon in his part of the world. I'm wondering if the child's parents truly understand how negatively cigarettes can affect their child's health. If they do understand the dangers of smoking, then perhaps they just don't care. I would never have guessed that there were young children smoking if it weren't for this crazy video going viral, it's insane. 

The Benefits of the Saniplus Macerating System and How It Works

Homeowners can save on renovations, and increase the value of their home by having additional bathrooms.

If you're considering purchasing a Saniplus system for your home or cottage check out the following video clip which explains how the macerating system works.

Alternative To Sleeping Pills - Valerian Root Supplements

I've never taken sleeping pills in my life, but then again I don't have problems sleeping too often. When I do find it difficult to go to sleep I take the natural herbal supplement "Valerian Root." Valerian Root relaxes the body and promotes sleep. A Valerian supplement will not knock you out but it might make you slightly drowsy. It's a good alternative to sleeping pills for someone who is finding difficult to fall asleep due to stress or because they are overtired.

If you look in the herbal remedy section of any health store or drug store you should be able to find a herbal sleeping pill supplement. Always ask your doctor before taking any supplements because "all natural" supplements can be just as dangerous as some prescription medications. If you know of any sleeping pill alternatives, please leave a message in the comment section to share your story.

How Did Gary Coleman Die?

I was shocked when I heard about actor Gary Coleman's death. Although Gary Coleman suffered from health problems since childhood I never thought he would die at such a young age.

42-year-old Coleman was rushed to the hospital last week after he fell and hit his head while at home, due to a brain hemorrhage. News reports stated that Gary Coleman was in critical condition. He was removed from life support on May 28, 2010. His wife Shannon Price has received thousands of emails and letters from Gary Coleman fans sending their condolences, and dozens of fan tribute videos have been posted on You Tube, here's one of those videos which features pictures of Gary Coleman throughout his life:

What Are The Benefits of Multivitamins?

Many people take multivitamins on a daily basis. Some only take them while they are sick with a cold or flu, and a lot of parents make sure their young children take a take a daily vitamin supplement. Do multivitamins really make that much of a difference?

If you eat a unbalanced diet filled with sugary foods than taking a daily vitamin may prevent you from becoming vitamin deficient. If you are already a healthy eater who eats the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables each day, a multivitamin may help you improve your immune system and prevent disease. In some cases multivitamins can help reduce anxiety.

The most noticeable effects of a daily multivitamin pill is the improvement of your appearance. Clearer skin, healthier nails, hair and teeth are some of the great side effects. Multivitamins may even help you to live longer. I personally experienced a higher amount of energy after taking daily vitamins which is another great side effect.

Here's a video clip featuring more information on multivitamins:

Lady Gaga Episode of Glee - Bad Romance and Poker Face Songs

Last night's episode of "Glee" was pretty awesome. Seeing the Glee cast dressed up in Lady Gaga fashion was hilarious and despite the weird "Poker Face" song choice the mom and daughter duet was amazing. I think the Lady Gaga song "Speechless" would have suited the mood a bit better though. Glee's version of the "Kiss" song Beth was absolutely excellent too.

I can't find any decent videos of the Glee "Bad Romance" dance video, but I did manage to find videos with clear recordings of the "Bad Romance" and "Poker Face." I can't wait to see what "Glee" does next week.

Warrant Out For Lindsay Lohan's Arrest

Lindsay Lohan has a warrant out for her arrest after failing to appear in court today. Her excuse for missing her scheduled May 20, 2010 court date was that she her passport was stolen and she is "trapped in France." Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued the warrant saying, "She should have made sure she either didn't go to Cannes or or made sure to be back two days earlier."

Lindsay Lohan's court appearance was mandatory as she is due for a progress report related to her 2007 arrests. When Lohan does arrive in the United States she'll have to post bail immediately. I think "Dog The Bounty Hunter" should be waiting for Lindsay Lohan at the airport. Now that would make for some interesting reality TV.

Debt Counseling and Budgeting Tips

Many people find themselves deeply in debt, desperately looking for a financial solution aside from bankruptcy. Consumer debt, student loans and job loss are just a few of the common reasons for debt problems. Debt counseling may help your situation provided you choose a legitimate company. Unfortunately many debt counseling offers are actually scams in disguise.

Beware of Scams

When choosing a debt counseling company check to make sure they are legitimate before paying any fees. You can find professional counseling agencies by checking with the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies (AICCCA) or the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC). You can also check with the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints against the credit counseling company you plan to use.

Debt Counseling – What Can You Expect?

A professional debt counselor will review your financial documents to find out what situation you are in. By looking at your debt, income and recurring bills they can come up with a financial plan including a “debt management plan.”

The debt counselor will provide you with financial tips such as how to lower the interest rate on your credit cards. If you follow a good financial plan your debts will get repaid and your credit score should improve over time. Since there are fees involved with debt counseling services you may want to consider solving your debt predicament on your own.

Do It Yourself Debt Relief - Figuring Out Your Finances

You don’t have to be a financial genius to get yourself out of debt. There are many good financial guides available that can teach you the steps you need to take. Purchasing a book about budgeting will cost much less than hiring a debt counselor and you can find a lot of free financial information on the Internet.

Having a good understanding of your financial situation is the first step to getting out of debt. You will need to create a financial plan, negotiate with creditors, and make up a monthly budget that balances.

You may be able to lower your credit card interest rates just by calling your credit card companies. If you are willing to get serious about your finances and eliminate extra expenses such as eating-out, vacations, cigarette purchases, etc. you have a good chance at solving your financial problems and getting out of debt.

Law & Order TV Series Canceled - 20 Year Run Ends In 2010

Photo: Law &Order Wikipedia

The original Law & Order television series has been canceled by NBC.

The show has been on the air for 20 years and currently stars actors Jeremy Sisto, Anthony Anderson, Linus Roache, S. Epatha Merkerson, Sam Waterston and Alana de la Garza.

NBC originally planned to air the show for another season but perhaps the shows low ratings are the reason they changed their mind. The last Law & Order show finale will air on Monday, May 24th.

Law & Order is one of my favorite shows and I'm sad to see it go. Hopefully they will make the final show a special one.

The Baby Food Diet - Counting Calories

Jennifer Aniston denies that she ever tried out the "Baby Food Diet" but hearing about a strange fad diet involving baby food makes you wonder who is trying this diet out and what kind of results they're getting. Apparently the baby food diet works because of portion control. When you eat a diet dinner you know exactly how many calories you're getting and it's the same with a small jar of babyfood. The only problem is that carrying around tiny jars of baby food not only makes you look like a desperate dieter, but it also makes you look a little crazy too. If you want to go on a calorie counting diet stick to Weight Watchers or grab some Lean Cuisines, not only will the food taste better but it's also a socially acceptable way to diet.

Heidi Montag Pratt Calls Cops On Her Mother

According to a People.com report Heidi Montag Pratt called the police on her mother after she showed up at Heidi and Spencer's home unannounced. The rift between Heidi and her mom started when her mom made public comments about Heidi's multiple plastic surgeries. The admittedly insecure star was hoping to receive positive feedback from her mother but her mother is not supporting Heidi's quest for perfect beauty.

In an interview with People Magazine, Heidi Montag revealed that just about all of the celebrities are getting plastic surgeries done, but most won't admit it. It seems as though in L.A. getting a nose job or tummy tuck is no big deal until a reporter asks them why they look so different. It's not uncommon to see celebrity television interviews where a star who looks dramatically different says it's all thanks to a new diet pill or a great tan. Perhaps Heidi Montag would have been better off denying her plastic surgery like the rest of the stars, because since she went public she's been under scrutiny from the media, and even her own family.

How to Keep Ponds Clean and Healthy

Small ponds are a nice addition to a backyard and large ponds are perfect for fishing and swimming. Unfortunately an abundance of algae can ruin a pond. A pond becomes unhealthy when there is a large amount of algae or aquatic vegetation present. It may give off a strong unpleasant odor and is not safe for people to swim in. It is also not safe for the pond fish who cannot survive poor oxygen levels.

With a bit of maintenance an unhealthy pond can be corrected. A pond aeration system will ensure that your pond stays clean and its fish remain healthy. A pond aerator will keep the water fresh and clean, and the fish healthy. It will even reduce the need for chemical products.

The following video clip talks about about all natural aeration that works for small outdoor ponds. If you have a larger pond you will need to purchase a pond aeration system.

Driveway Alarms - Extra Protection For Your Home

Everyone has heard about home alarm systems but did you know that there is a way to tell if someone is outside of your home before they even try to enter. A driveway alarm will let you know if someone is coming up your driveway. Whether they are in a car or on foot the alarm is designed to go off when the censors detect movement. So if a car pulls in the driveway or someone walks up to the door the alarm inside your house will go off.

Having a driveway alarm may let you know if there is someone lurking around your home so you can call the police. The alarm itself may not prevent a break-in but it will give you an early warning. Driveway alarms are easy to install and can be easily camouflaged so a potential intruder will not see it. These alarms may be particularly helpful to people living in rural areas who don't get a lot of regular visitors. If you already have a home alarm system a driveway alarm might provide a bit of extra protection.
