    SKATES
    January 16, 1866 - U.S.A.

    Everett Hosmer Barney patented the all-metal screw clamp skates, which attached to normal shoes and were tightened with a key. Clamp skates dropped out of popularity with the advent of modern athletic shoes, which lacked a hard edge where the roller skates could be clamped.

    CAULKING GUN PATENT
    January 16, 1894 - Chilliwhack, British Columbia

    Canadian inventor Theodore Witte of Chilliwhack, British Columbia, was issued a U.S. patent for a "Puttying-Tool" to improve the application "of putty to window sashes and similar things." It incorporated the ratcheted feed now familiar in the caulking gun (No. 512930). The putty is placed in a tube fitted with a nozzle at one end, and a ratcheted lever-operated piston at the other which moves longitudinally through the body in order to squeeze the compound out through the nozzle. The lever is "manipulated so as to force the putty outward as fast as is necessary, and the nozzle is dragged over the surface to be puttied," until the whole mass within the body is ejected from the nozzle. The method has since been adopted to apply a variety of construction materials, including caulking and glue.

  • No Man is Above the Law

  • Until a man duplicates a blade of grass
    by Earth Day, Thomas Alva Edison Inventor

    "...Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favorable comparison with the products of Nature, the living cell of a plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life...."

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

Many people want to learn how to lose weight naturally. There is new interest in finding ways to help the body help itself without the use of harsh drugs and pre-packaged programs.

There are a few examples of how to lose weight naturally that are common sense. People who eat breakfast usually eat less during the day. Make it a high fiber and low fat breakfast, and you have made it more natural. Drinking water is also good for dieters, as everyone knows, but you may need more than 64 ounces (some studies seem to contradict this, but generally, more water is better).

Then there's your choice of foods. For natural weight loss, one place to start is with foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. You should eat fruits and vegetables in variety and abundance. Generally, whole grains are better than "refined" anything, but be sure to check the label for other "non-natural" additives like high-fructose corn syrup.

Other methods of losing weight naturally are not well known outside of "alternate health" circles. For example, some studies show that dieting can slow the functioning of the thyroid gland in some people. Sea vegetables such as kelp, which are rich in iodine, can correct this problem.

For those learning how to lose weight naturally, there are many herbs and supplements to help. According to the latest research, three of them “St. John's Wort, 5-HTP, and evening primrose oil“ signal the production and release of serotonin. This suppresses the appetite and lifts the mood.

Some supplements that enhance metabolism are L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine, L-Tyrosine, and L-Phenylalanine. Your metabolism will also be boosted by cayenne, mustard, ginger, or horseradish. The key here is natural herbs, spices and supplements, not chemically-engineered ones (read the label!).

Speaking of supplements, there are several that, according to some studies, can promote increased health and functioning of the liver, which plays a major role in metabolizing fat. You can help detoxify the with bee pollen and sarsaparilla, and milk thistle extract has been shown to renew liver cells.

No matter which natural weight loss program you follow, one common ingredient to be avoided is sugar. Sugar causes a rapid production of insulin that lead to fat storage. If you find yourself craving sweets, a natural alternative is the herb gymnema sylvestre, which, when placed in the mouth, reduces the taste of sugar. Chromium can also improve the way insulin works in your body and help control blood sugar.

When you're looking for ideas on how to lose weight naturally, be sure to look beyond diet. For example, how much stress are you experiencing daily? Stress triggers a release of adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. These hormones cause your body to send all the fuel into storage. That means more fat. You can stop this process by dealing with the stress “ either by eliminating the cause(s) or finding coping strategies.

As with any weight loss program, consult with your doctor. In addition to practical guidelines to follow, he or she may be able to recommend a good nutritionist who can help you in your quest to lose weight naturally.
