Schools Out For Summer... Don’t Panic Mom Why is it that those words cause such a panic to working families? Summer vacation, a time of fun & relaxation for our school goers, but yet an added level of stress for many working families. What if you had a place, a safe haven, where learning was combined with fun to send your 4-16 year old children? A place where trust worthy teachers devote time to bring activities to your child that will expand their cultural & global awareness while allowing them to grow & express themselves as individuals. Sounds like a dream to this mom for sure, as it was to owner & creator of Evolve Discovery Center, Jennifer Ward. After having left the area to pursue her education, Jennifer, a native of New Hartford returned to her home base. Now with children of her own, Jennifer decided to pursue her passion. Evolve is a culmination of Jennifer’s passions: a love for life-long learning, global awareness, acceptance, and tolerance. Classes are developed and led by outstanding local educators, regional & national thought leaders, and professional counselors. Jennifer believes many smalltown raised children can lack a sense of global awareness and cultural learning. Many school districts, due to budget cut backs, are forced to eliminate the type of learning Jennifer feels is so critically important to our children, such as languages, music, and drama. Evolve offers our children an opportunity for personal growth and learning under the supervision of trustworthy passionate teachers. In a perfect world Jennifer would like the center to be a non-profit organization and allow all children to use the services for free, but as we all know, that is just not feasible. Fees and details about the classes at Evolve are available 4 PULSE pulsepointpress.com MAY 2012
at www.evolvediscoverycenter. com. Jennifer also developed the Evolve Discovery Center’s Scholarship Fund in hopes that area children who need financial assistance can become a part of the center. Donations to the scholarship fund can be made online at www.evolvediscoverycenter.com/support-a-student.

The history of prom corsages Prom attire consists of wearing gowns and tuxedos in the style of the season. Promgoers pore over their wardrobe so they will look their best when heading out for their big night -a party celebrating the culmination of their high school careers. One tradition of prom that continues today is the presentation of a corsage to the female attendant.
Corsages have been part of formal wear for centuries. Originally, a corsage was considered to be a small grouping of flowers worn on the center bodice of a dress. It is derived from the French term “bouquet de corsage,” which translates to bouquet of the bodice. Corsages were commonly worn to weddings because, in ancient times, it

was believed that the flowers and herbs placed in the corsage were essential to warding off evil spirits. Corsages were worn by special participants in these ceremonies. In the 20th century, corsages evolved into something that served as a gift for women attending special social dances, like their high school proms. The corsage worn in this manner was part of the courting process. The gentleman would show respect to his date’s parents, including bringing flowers or a gift. The gentleman would then take a flower out of the bouquet and present it to his date and attach it to her dress. As prom dresses evolved to feature spaghetti straps or no straps at all, pinning the corsage to the dress bodice was no longer practical. Therefore, corsages soon morphed into small bouquets that were attached to an elastic band. The result was something that could be worn around the wrist. Nowadays, there are various styles of corsages that can be worn at the waist and even in the hair. Although it is customary to purchase a corsage, gentlemen who are looking to save a little money can construct one on their own. With floral tape and a few rosebuds, a corsage can be put together at a relatively low cost. For dates who are allergic to floral corsages, feathers, beads, faux flowers, or crystals
can be substituted to make a statement and prevent a sneezing fit. A gentleman should ask his date what color gown she is wearing to coordinate the corsage with the gown. However, neutral-colored blooms of peach, white and pink can complement a number of differed hued dresses. Many different flowers can be used in corsages. While roses are typical flowers to show affection and love, chrysanthemums, carnations, birds of paradise, orchids, and lilies can all be used depending on budget and style.
Because florists are typically busy come the spring and summer season with orders for weddings, proms, communions, confirmations, Mother’s Day, and other special events, it is best to order corsages well in advance to ensure the order is filled on time.

Fresh salmon -- the new super fast food for multi-tasking moms Fresh salmon is the answer for time pressed moms and can help address the growing obesity issue in children, says Holly Clegg, recognized author, chef, and working mother. “Working moms are facing huge challenges getting healthy food quickly on the table for their families,” says Clegg. “We know that fresh salmon itself can multi-task: it’s a super health food, it’s fast, and you can make more than one meal at once. “Fresh salmon from Maine and Atlantic Canada is one way to attack the myth that fast means unhealthy,” says Clegg. “It’s high in protein and it contains
of meal planning and preparation, how to boost their families’ menu with what she called the new ‘super fast food.’ Her recipes are simple to prepare and use everyday ingredients. Using a basic salmon recipe for one meal, Clegg shows moms that by cooking extra they can prepare three other unique and delicious recipes like salmon salad, bisque, and sliders. Clegg is eager to help as child obesity rates continue to rise. With parents working more hours, it leaves them with less time to shop for healthy food options and to prepare healthy meals. Time-pressed families are relying more on fast food and

Clegg adds that salmon is a natural source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which recent studies have shown to be critical for vision and improved brain development in infants. Pregnant women, nursing moms, as well as developing children, will benefit from salmon’s “brain food” qualities. Clegg, known as the “Queen of Quick” and author of a bestselling cookbook series, takes every opportunity to show moms, who are often in charge
packaged food, which tend to be high in fat and calories, just to get food on the table quickly, she says. “Working moms are under so much pressure from so many sources -- if we can provide them with ways to juggle all those demands and know they are keeping their family healthy, then hopefully we’re taking some of that pressure off,” says Clegg. “The great thing about fresh salmon is how easy it is to get it fresh,” says Clegg. “If you buy salmon from Maine and Atlantic Canada you know it was literally swimming just a couple of days earlier, and that’s hard to beat.”
Give the gift of green for Mother’s Day Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their eco-conscious moms -- there are a number of different gift options to make Mom’s big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable. An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these “green” gifts. * Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners.
A NEW Name
* Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother’s Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining.
* Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn’t enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo, conditioner, massage oils, bath salts, and any other organic spa items you can find.
Children are the anchors of a mother’s life!

* Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience ecofriendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of restaurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel. * Spend the day outdoors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, whether lavish or simple. A nice, eco-friendly gift is to spend time together. Research local parks or hiking trails and plan a day where you both commune with nature. Or even head to the seaside for a relaxing day. Explore the landscape and be on the lookout for birds and washed up treasure from the sea. Plan to finish the day with a homemade, picnic lunch. PULSE pulsepointpress.com MAY 2012 9

Establishing and maintaining proper pool water chemistry A backyard swimming pool is a welcome respite from the hot sun and summer heat waves. Pools provide exercise and enjoyment for those of mostly every age. This is what makes a pool installation a popular home improvement project. Once you have established the size, type and shape of the swimming pool, you want and have secured the proper build-
ing permits and contractors to install the pool, your next main task could be to take a crash course in pool water chemistry. A pool is essentially useless without clean, hygienic water. Achieving clean water starts by understanding what is necessary to keep pool water clear and safe for swimming, and knowing the terminology related to testing pool water. There are five different chemical levels with which a pool owner should be familiar. Here are the basics behind each one.

Chlorine Even the most wet-behindthe-ears pool owner knows that he or she will need a disinfecting
active amount of chlorine in the pool water that is available to sanitize it. Organic matter in the pool as well as sunlight can use up free chlorine very quickly. It is good to habitually check the FC chlorine level on a daily basis and add as needed to keep the level adequate for your size pool. It is best to add chlorine to raise FC in the evening when it will not be affected by sunlight. Combined chlorine is the broken-down amount of chlorine used in the pool -- in other words the used-up chlorine. This is what causes the “chlorine smell” many people associate with over-chlorinated pools. In essence, a chlorine smell means that your pool likely needs more available fresh chlorine. CC indicates there is something in the pool that the FC is trying

agent in the pool, which is commonly a chlorine-based product. Chlorine serves as a sanitizer that kills off germs and keeps the pool safe. There are many different types of chlorine sanitizers on the market, from liquid chlorinator to slow-dissolving tablets to powdered forms that must be dissolved in water. In terms of checking chlorine levels, you should be familiar with free chlorine, or FC, combined chlorine (CC) and total chlorine (TC). Free chlorine refers to the
to break down. As long as you maintain an appropriate FC level, CCshould remain at near zero. Total chlorine is the sum of FC and CC in pool water. When you use an inexpensive water test that only measures one form of chlorine, it is likely TC. This is usually adequate for testing if the water is clear. However, in the presence of algae or another water problem, TC level is useless on its own as a barometer of water quality. pH and Total Alkalinity The proper pH, or balance
of alkalinity or acidity of the water, must be maintained to prevent irritation of the skin and eyes and to prevent corrosion of the pool equipment. Many pools tend to drift upward to the high level over time. This may result in eye burning that is often blamed on chlorine levels. The pH is raised with borax or washing soda (often the same chemical used in pH “Up” in pool stores), and it can be lowered using muriatic acid. Total alkalinity is the water’s ability to buffer pH changes. This means you’ll need less product to change the pH. The level of TAneeded varies depending on the type of pool material (plaster or vinyl). In general, pH levels between 70 and 90 are fine for most pools. Water Hardness Water hardness, also known as calcium hardness, indicates the amount of calcium in the water. Plaster pools are susceptible to damage from low-calcium levels because the water will then tend to dissolve calcium out of plaster, stone, concrete, tiles, and other surfaces. Homeowners with a vinyl-lined pool typically don’t have to worry about calcium levels.
Cyanuric Acid Cyanuric acid protects chlorine from deterioration in the sunlight and will correspond to the amount of FC needed in the pool. CA is often called stabilizer because it helps to lock in the chlorine in the water and make it less susceptible to breakdown from the sun. It is important to keep the FCand CA balanced; otherwise you could use more chlorine or stabilizer than is necessary. In general, the more CAin the pool the more chlorine that will be needed to keep the pool clean. Keep in mind that many tablets contain both chlorine and CA, which could be detrimental because there will be a constant rising in CA, necessitating more and more chlorine. A thorough pool water test kit will measure all of these levels and help you gauge when to add which chemical. Because pool chemicals can be expensive, frequently testing your pool water levels can enable you to make small adjustments rather than having to deal with cloudy, green or unsafe water when these problems occur seemingly out of nowhere.

conservative manner can reduce energy usage and the cost of your monthly utility bill. Try to run high-wattage appliances during the evening or early-morning hours when energy rates may be reduced. Also, if the weather will be warm, running these appliances during cooler hours prevents the home from heating up even more -- possibly requiring the additional use of an air conditioner. Unplug appliances when they’re not in use to avoid vampire drain. Many appliances still draw a small amount of power even when turned off. Also, be sure to properly insulate and position appliances so they can run at the highest level of efficiency. Energy audit You can request or hire individuals to conduct an energy audit or home energy assessment. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the audit will assess how much energy your home consumes and evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient. If you prefer to do an energy audit yourself, you can look at a few key areas around the home where there may be air leaks or inefficient uses of energy. First, turn off any combustible appliances, such as water heaters and furnaces. Make sure the windows are closed, then turn on exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen to suck the air out of the rooms. Feel around outlets, doors, windows, baseboards,
fireplaces, and attic hatches for any apparent leaks. Use a stick of incense to easily see the flow of air in the incense smoke. If any leaks are found, address each one. This generally involves recaulking or sealing around points of entry. The DOE says the potential energy savings from reducing drafts in a home may range from 5 percent to 30 percent per year.

yard chef. A wireless one is recommended because it monitors the cooking progress and lets the chef know when dinner is ready, allowing them to spend more time with their guests. Look for a thermometer that offers a pre-programmed menu that allows you to set meat type and doneness.
Try hickory with beef or pork. Mesquite is a delicious choice for beef, lamb, or even turkey. Fruit wood, such as apple or cherry, is recommended for lamb, poultry and fish. Consider giving the chef a few different options, as many backyard chefs enjoy experimenting and crafting their own special blends.

Gas barbecues are excellent for high temperature searing and grilling, but hot cooking grids and cooking tools require careful attention and hot surfaces can melt the bristles on some basting brushes. Silicone brushes, mitts and basters are heat resistant and safe for barbecue use up to 500*F, making them a better choice for brushing sauce on hot
Who doesn’t love delicious, smoky ribs fresh off the barbecue and slathered with sauce? A rib rack makes cooking ribs on the barbecue a breeze because it saves you the trouble of having to turn the meat. It also frees up space on the grill, leaving room for appetizers or other grilled food. Look for a rib rack with an angled design to make basting easy.

Barbecued Chicken Wings Grilling chicken wings is an easy way to feed a crowd on Super Bowl Sunday. How to grill them can be a challenge. The grilling experts at Broil King have some tips to make your life easier when it comes to preparing delicious grilled chicken wings. When getting started, try to select wings that are about the same size, and no matter how you grill them, make sure wings
are arranged in a single layer. This ensures that they cook evenly. The basic setup is easy, cook them on the grill using a hot indirect technique -- preheat your barbecue to 400o, and turn the burners on one side off. Arrange the wings over the ‘off ’ side of the barbecue. Wait 5 minutes, and switch sides --burners, wings, everything -- the key is
to keep the wings over the unlit portion of the barbecue, minimizing flare up and the chances the wings will burn. Switching sides on the barbecue will also burn off accumulated drippings without burning the wings. Another easy way to prepare chicken wings on the barbecue is using a grill wok or basket. You can use the same hot indirect technique to protect the wings
from scorching or keep a close eye on them if you are grilling over direct heat. You can even go with the ultimate in low-impact grilling and load your wings into a rotisserie basket -- the turning rotisserie will keep your wings juicy and tender while minimizing flare-up.
flavour and moisture, use BBQ sauce, or make your own to add near the end of the cooking process. Sauces that are high in sugar burn easily, so be careful, and only keep them on for a few minutes to finish with the sauce. Typical cooking time is 3045 minutes; always use an instant read thermometer to verify that your wings are cooked through.

Ergonomic tools make gardening easier Hand injuries are a common side effect of certain occupations and hobbies. Tennis elbow or wrist and even carpal tunnel syndrome are well-recognized injuries. But ergonomic tools can help alleviate injuries due to repetitive motions. The term ergonomics is derived from the Greek words “ergon,” which means work, and “nomoi,” which means natural laws. In the simplest terms, ergonomics is the study of how work is done and how to make work better. It has led to an entire subset of ergonomicsincluding products that can make work better and are safer for the body. This is done by designing items that increase utility of the item, are more comfortable to use, and reduce injury through frequent use.
Ergonomic products are most readily associated with items of the workplace, including ergonomic keyboards, computer mice, office chairs, and lighting. But many industries have reevaluated operations to include tools that are ergonomic in design. Gardening is one area where ergonomics has become especially popular.
areas of the body are also commonplace due to hobbies like gardening. Many people have considered giving up gardening due to the pain that ensues from using the wrong tools. Here is an example of ergonomic tools to consider for use while gardening.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health estimates that the rate of hand injuries in the workplace is 25 hand injuries for every 10,000 full-time employees. However, hand, back and injuries of other
Gardening doesn’t have to be painful when you use tools that are specially designed to fit the hand. They help alleviate strain to the wrist and elbow while maximizing leverage.
* Bond LH029 Ergonomic Handle Garden Spade: The handle and length of the tool is designed to create maximum comfort and leverage when digging in soil. * Miracle Gro(R) Ergonomic Garden Feeder: This feeder has an ergonomic handle for an easy, stress-free grip.

Brown or yellow stains appear on a garment after it has been cleaned and pressed or after having been in storage for a time. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? The stains may be yellow, tan, or brown depending on their age and on the substance causing the stain. WHAT CAUSED IT? These stains are caused by spills from juices, beer, soft drinks, or any beverage containing sugar. These stains are not visible at first but remain in the fabric if the are not flushed out with water. Dry cleaning usually will not remove the sugars because they are soluble in water rather than dry cleaning solvent. The heat of deodorizing and finishing, or storage in a warm closet, turns these stains yellow or brownish in color.
HOW CAN IT BE PREVENTED? The dry cleaner could flush the stain out with water, but since these stains are invisible at first, the customer must show them where the substance has spilled. Moreover, the cleaner can be successful only if the stain is not too old. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? The person who spilled the beverage or who failed to point it out to the dry cleaner in time. IS THERE A REMEDY? Once these stains become visible, the usually cannot be removed from silk, wool, and sometimes nylon. In other fabrics, bleaching may lighten them enough so that they are not noticeable.

Fatigue can indicate a host of things. Men and women who are overworked feel fatigue, as do men and women whose diet is low on nutrition. Fatigue can also be the result of a medical condition, which only sheds light on how important it is for men and women dealing with fatigue to speak to their physician about their condition. In addition to working with a physician to fight fatigue, there are steps men and women can take reduce fatigue and start feeling more energetic. * Get off the couch.

valuable benefit for overworked men and women. * Get some sleep. The notion that sleep can help fight fatigue might sound simple, but a good night’s sleep can elevate energy levels throughout the day, helping the body rest and recover. Failing to get sufficient sleep, which many people find is seven to eight hours per night, can turn today’s fatigue into tomorrow’s fatigue, and so on. * Address any sources of stress. Fatigue can be a side effect of stress. Many men and women find work is their primary source of stress, but finances & relationship issues can be stressful as well. Whatever the source of your stress, address it and don’t allow it to fester. If it’s work, then look for ways to make work less stressful, whether it’s telecommuting more often or sharing more responsibilities. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress, but men & women fighting stress-related fatigue should address the source of the stress as well. * Reduce sugar intake. Sugar might provide an initial burst of energy, especially for people battling fatigue. However, once your blood sugar levels begin to drop, which can happen rather quickly, you will notice a rather steep decline in your energy level. To successfully combat fatigue, avoid relying on quick fixes that only offer temporary relief. * Alter your eating habits. If you’re a proponent of 3 large meals per day but are battling fatigue, then it might be time to alter your eating habits. Replace the large meals with smaller meals, & snack throughout the day to maintain high energy levels. Just be sure to consume healthy snacks, & don’t forget to drink water throughout the day. Doing so will fight dehydration, which can also cause fatigue.

Honor Your Mother and Yourself A persistent theme in both my thoughts and my writings these days is that we are all connected. Holistic health and energy medicine consider this a foundational principle. While it may be easier to envision ourselves connected to human beings in some way, for many it becomes harder to include the rest of the animal kingdom, and harder still for the plants, waters, mountains, earth and sky. Yet in some unclear way we are joined indeed, of this I am sure. In this month of May, among the most beautiful in central New York, we honor mothers and I am reminded of a day I experienced many years ago when this notion of connection was first impressed upon me. We had recently moved to the area and our family was young, three children ages five and under. Needless to say, the days were busy. That first long summer there was much to explore in our new community: the Utica Zoo; The Children’s Museum and what became one of our favorite pastimes, discovering the playgrounds of local elementary schools. We played them all and it was a great way to learn the area and have some budget friendly fun. One day we decided to reach out, in desperation perhaps, and took a trip to the Burnett Park Zoo in Syracuse NY. I have learned through my work studying the subtle energetic body, as well as the physical body, that cognition, emotions and spirit interface with our physical selves directly and continuously over time. That day held a moment of connection for me, and it remains vivid in my crowded memory, maybe because of the
emotion I felt that day, or maybe it was the connection of spirit. We were in the primate center, and sat on the benches watching a group of small monkeys engage their surroundings behind the glass. It was clear that there were sub-groups. On one of the branches sat a mother monkey with a very small nursling in arms. Nearby appeared to be a slightly larger toddler doing everything it could to maintain connection with its mother, as well as the older members of the troop in
the periphery. I sat there on that bench with my children and watched quietly for a long while, until the mother monkey and I found each other’s eyes. Here I was, a young mother with small children and there was that monkey with hers. If telepathy is our oldest prelanguage form of communication, mother monkey and I had a moment of understanding. It was as if we shared our fatigue at the twenty-four-seven nature of our jobs, as well as our love of the children and when it came to the toddler, even our exasperation at times. Toddler monkey was incredibly creative in his work, picking at, poking at, pulling at, jumping toward and on his mother, stretching his virtual apron strings in much the way human toddlers do testing skills and practicing work. We watched each other on our sides of the glass, somehow
communing our similarities and our differences in time and space. It was remarkable and good. Parenthood, this month specifically motherhood, is a journey not a destination. It is one of the few jobs that when done well, enables us to write ourselves out of a job. And yet, once a mother always a mother. Ellen Galinsky wrote a wonderful classic book called the The Six Stages of Parenthood, in which she describes the predictable stages of a parent’s growth from image making to nurturing, authority to interpretive, interdependent to departure. Parenthood is transformational, and once begun brings with it an element of knowing that we can always indentify with. That day at the zoo with mother monkey I learned that these knowings cross species boundaries. Galinsky writes that we identify with a parent towing a tired child home from an outing or a parent drilling a child on the multiplication tables as much as a parent teary yet proud at a child’s wedding. She writes, “All of these bring a familiar feeling. We will probably always feel a rush of adrenaline when a baby, even a stranger’s baby, cries. We are not the same, and I think we are richer for the difference.” We are richer for the difference, and to all living things deeply connected. Thereby we honor the mothers of the past, our own mothers, the mothers of the future and ultimately ourselves for the gift of having known one.

The Camo Quilt Story. The first camouflage quilt was designed and made by Linda Wieck in April of 2006. Her son-in-law, Todd, was being deployed to Iraq and asked her to make him a quilt to take along. His specifications were that it be small, made from camouflage cloth, and it needed to have cotton batting.
SHOWING OUR
SUPPORT FOR THE TROOPS SERVING US IN THE MIDDLE EAST
While Todd was at Camp Shelby, MS for training prior to being deployed, other soldiers in his unit saw the quilt and wanted to buy one. Todd asked Linda if she could make each of them a quilt and they would pay her for them. She scrambled to finish all 48 before they left for Iraq in July of 2006. After the local newspaper published an article about her work, one of the readers asked Linda to LOcATED AT:others to make the conduct a workshop to train 439one Factory Street was held in April quilts.

Death is not a topic many people prefer to discuss. However, discussing funeral planning and making arrangements can be a smart financial move and one that limits large decisions at a time of heightened emotions. It’s never too early to begin pre-planning a funeral. There are very good reasons for pre-need planning. All arrangements can be thoroughly considered and spelled out so they meet a person’s desires.

Stress and grief can make family members unable to cope with decisions during the time of death. As a result, one of the most important reasons for pre-need planning is to make the process one in which close friends and family members can come to grips with the death, rather than having to run around for a few days and make arrangements in haste.
