Is it bad to sleep with an electric heating pad on?
I’m having pain where my kidney’s are and the heating pad is very soothing and is the only thing that’ll probably make me go to sleep. Is it bad to sleep with it under me for more than 7 hours?
it’s very bad – because heating pads pose a very serious fire risk – you should never fall asleep with a heating pad on – in fact, by law, it must state that on the heating pad itself.
I want to start making soy candles, and have all the supplies to get started. The only thing I am having a hard time finding info on, is scenting my candles with pure essential oils, not the fragrance oils sold by suppliers.
I know essential oils have a flashpoint, but I am just confused on what flashpoint I need to stay above for the candle to burn safetly. I don’t want to make a candle that will explode! I will be using Ecosoya wax.
Thank you!
If you bought your oil where you bought your wax chances are you bought fragrance oil not essential oil. The flashpoint pertains to your wax. When your melting your wax you need to have a thermometer to gauge the temp. You don’t want it to go beyond the flashpoint because it can explode it has to get pretty hot to reach that point. I heat my wax to 165 degrees to melt and add my dye and fragrance oil then I let it cool to 145 degrees to pour into my containers. This is why you need a thermometer so you can tell how hot your wax is. You also need a pot with a temp. gauge. I use a presto cooker they have them at Wal-mart for $20. You heat your wax slow. If you are using essential oil the scent can evaporate if it gets to hot so don’t put it in to hot of wax. Hope this helps. For candle instructions go to www.candletech.com

Emily’s Oils & Essentials offers essential oils as well as base materials and packaging. It should be relatively easy for you to find some suggestions for percentages. You can make an oil based perfume, solid perfume or cologne.
Set Massage How can I set up CoD4 auto text on PC?
Is there some way of setting up Call of Duty 4, or another free program so that it auto types custom pre-set massages? Basically so I don’t have to sit and type while someone shoots me.
The usual answer here is to buy a microphone.
But if you don’t want to do this, try AutoHotKey. It’s a program that, on the press of a selected button, will type a preselected combination of keys. It isn’t entirely user friendly, you will have to learn a bit of programming language to do it, but the site has some good tutorials on it.

PREVENTING/AVOIDING SEXUAL ADVANCES DURING A SPA OR MASSAGE SESSION
“50 WAYS OF HANDLING CLIENT ADVANCES”
This article/report is not an all encompassing, everything-in-it method of preventing or avoiding sexual advances in a spa or massage session. The methods and ways described herein are intended to at least minimize, if not totally eradicate a common malaise of our industry, having to deal with “sexually charged” clients. Like anything else in life, there are no guarantees and the practitioner is cautioned to use their own judgment about their individual circumstances and act professionally and accordingly. Trusting one’s guts and intuition may prove life-saving in some cases. As in all my writings, it is presented in a contemporary style to address mainly the practitioners and spa, massage clinic and wellness center owners or operators and a minority of the inquiring public.
Let me be clear that there is no one way to totally avoid sexual advances or offers of such. Massage is by nature an intimate and pleasurable experience but is not intended to sexually gratify a person. Some spa and massage therapies require the client to be semi-nude and sometimes naked. Even in the most professional setting the massage/ spa professional is exposed to being vulnerable to temptations which might lead to awkward situations. We can combine several of the pointers mentioned and act with due diligence. Practitioners in the spa, massage and wellness industry should perform their tasks that only true and unadulterated professionals do.
Recently, I have been asked again a truly valid question, one relating to handling clients who are taking advantage of their practitioner (whether this is a spa or massage therapist). There are some ways of handling this, but let us first take into account what one validates (on a professional perspective) as “taking advantage or inappropriateness” means. Ano ba talaga ang maco-consider nating inappropriate? These are some examples (and by far, not a complete one) of inappropriate behaviors:
1.When approached or asked by a client requesting any sexual contact of any kind
2.When a client is trying to touch the practitioner or the client asks to be touched in private areas including but is not limited to the genitalia.
3.Asking the practitioner to do something sexual apart from profession massage/spa therapy.
4.Making direct and/or indirect movements and comments that make it uneasy for the practitioner to work professionally and proceed with the session.
How do you, as a professional, handle these types of clients? These are just some tips and pointers in handling these types of clients, how to prevent sexual harassment during a session, setting boundaries, how to free your self from being perceived as a prostitute instead of a spa or massage professional and more. I said some as you can adjust the pointers listed here depending on your specific condition. I am aware that there might be many questions and a combination of answers out there and we are at our liberty to implement these pointers as befits us:
1.Most of the time, simple statements like “I cannot perform more than just massage or professional therapy because I love my job” or “The only extra service we provide is a smile and a hot cup of ginger tea (called Salabat in the Philippines) or rice tea, which would you prefer?” or “if you cannot respect me in this way, I would be forced to terminate the session and you will be charged in full sir/ma’am _______ (the client’s name).” Always address them with sir or ma’am, so even in addressing clients you have already set your boundaries. Never call them just by their first name or nick name.
2.Your establishment should have a clear and strict work ethics and guidelines which are implemented not just written- but most importantly these ethical guidelines should be implemented all throughout the rank and file including management. No exceptions. An example of this rules and regulations: sexual advances towards clients by any employee will not be tolerated. Immediate termination of employees will follow any complaint that is investigated and where legitimacy of the claim is determined.”
3.In cases that you cannot control or your safety is being compromised, you can end the session immediately and ask the client to dress up and pay for the session and then to leave the premises. Therapists should also leave the area or room and should not return until the client has departed the premises. The client’s name should be entered into the prohibited client database to prevent any subsequent appointments being made by the client.
4.Move out of the room and let them cool off for the meantime.
5.Any sexual contact and indulgences between a client and a staff is equivalent to being fired on the job.
6.Create an environment that is conducive to a healthy, relaxing and satisfying experience for the client. Examples: do not display or post nude and sexually explicit photos, displays, etc. inside your spa, massage clinic or wellness center; if your spa has a video or movie lounge do not include videos that are rated X.
7.Never ever include any sexually appealing advertisements for your establishment. I have seen ads that goes something like “young, pretty, sexy, discrete masseuse for hire”, “presentable, class A, awesome beauty, flawless, 24-hours service available for stag party”. Words such as sexy, hot, macho, meztisa, irresistible, heartthrob, etc. should not be used at all costs. Hay naku, ang ipinagtataka ko lang, why is it important to be sexy and with awesome beauty? Is it not enough to be decent, clean looking and professional? So, if you want to be taken seriously in your practice, never ever- and I say it again, never advertise like those mentioned above.
8.It should be stipulated in the employee’s manual that therapists are not allowed to date or to have any other external physical relationships with any client while that person is a client of your respective spa, massage clinic or establishment until after a period of six months since the client received the last service.
9.The room should never be too darkly lit. To be technical about it, under Philippine laws, in PD 856 Chapter XII Section 5.4.1 states a room shall be provided with illumination to permit effective inspection and cleaning in accordance with the DOH (Department of Health) general illumination standards. The massage room shall be provided with a minimum of 10 foot-candle or kilowatts (107.6 lux) have a minimum while a sauna bath room should be provided a minimum of 5 foot-candle or kilowatts (53.8 lux) illumination. In 5.4.2. All lightings shall be reasonably free from glare and distributed so as to avoid shadows. But if you will ask me, I would prefer lighting which can be adjusted so when doing massage or spa therapies it will not have too much glare and when cleaning the room one can have enough illumination.
10.It is also the responsibility of the practitioner to communicate clearly with the client allowing the client to be at ease and know that they are professionally (not sexually) handled.
11.During a massage, the practitioner should minimize, if not refrain from making direct contact with “stimulating spots” like the inner thighs, groins, nipples, etc.
12.No touching of private areas and genitalia.
13.An experienced massage therapist should be able to guide the recipient through the massage or spa process so that there will be little confusion about some of the basic areas that may cause embarrassment or confusion. Like, if there are client concerns regarding a body scrub or body treatment, explaining to the client that he/she will get undressed, get the armpits and butt rubbed, etc. will make the client prepare psychologically on the procedure.
14.Presence of mind on where the practitioner rests their hands while the other hand might be working. Example, if your right hand is doing a Massage Your left hand should be assisting the movements of your right hand and should never rest in any private area of the recipient or client. Hindi dapat nakadantay sa maselang bahagi o kahit sa malapit sa maselang bahagi ng katawan ng client ang kamay ng isang therapist.
15.The amount of clothing worn during a session is dependent on the type of treatment or therapy to be administered. Therefore, do not expect that you will be asked to take all your clothes off if you choose Thai Massage or Shiatsu. Normally these massage modalities are performed with the client’s clothes on. It is also common to be completely undressed during a Swedish massage BUT don’t despair, as your therapist will professionally drape areas which are not being worked on. The bottom line is that, the client should be able to wear what makes them comfortable but not to the point of distracting the therapist’s work or disregarding the policies on clothing (if there are any) of the spa, massage clinic or wellness center.
16.Shorts can be provided by the spa to all clients and can be worn during the session.
17.The therapist should also instruct the client about what to expect before they begin to undress.
18.The therapist should leave the room when the client will be undressing and return afterwards. Generally, no less than 5 minutes and knock before entering. The practitioner should also say something like “Ma’am/Sir ______ (name of client) are you ready?” before opening the door.
19.To quote again PD 856 Chapter XIII Section 5.8.2 a massage room shall be provided with sliding curtain or wing type wooden door or equivalent materials at the entrance. Doors with locks are not permitted. If you will ask me, my personal favorites are the sliding doors or the accordion type doors.
20.The therapist should instruct the client to position himself/herself under a sheet or towel during the massage session.
21.The therapist should work on a cli
Paddle brushes are good to soften a roller set. They are the same…just different designs and sizes! I personally prefer the third one since is smaller and looks easy to work with.
Cushion Therapy
What is causing the popping sensation where my knee meets my quad?
Background:
-Knee was injured in mid Oct
-My injuries are sublaxation of the petellar tendon and grade 2 sprain of the MCL and a possible meniscus tear.
-I completed 8 weeks of physical therapy.
-Last week I got a hinged knee brace that has a cushion to help my patella track correctly
Lately I have noticed this popping or catching sensation where the top of my knee cap and my quad muscle meet. It does not cause a lot of pain but it is uncomfortable and I have to stop and bend my knee a few times to get it back “normal”. What could this be and is there anything that I can do to fix it or make it happen less often?
I am assuming you are exercising when this happens. Likely that your tendon hasn’t finished healng. With that type of injury you need to stay off your leg whenever possible and let it heal otherwise you will hurt for life. Ice it whenever ou can and keep it elevated. It takes longer for a muscle/ligament to heal than it does a broken bone.
Basalt Stone What sort of substrate for my tropical tank?
I have not set it up to cycle yet.
- 100L with good canister filter.
- 26′C
- Planted with fert. and good lighting
- 4 danios, 3 otos and maybe neons or the like
I am going to buy ‘smaller’ substrate. I have the choice of:
100% crushed basalt, black, approx 1mm.
OR
Dark grey, tiny rounded river stones, 3-6mm.
Both safe, won’t change Ph, both cost the same.
Your opinion? I’m personally edging toward the river stones, as more natural for a planted tank?
I would chose the Grey 3-6 mm
!. It looks more natural, especially with live plants.
2. Its a little larger, so it will be much easier to gravel vacuum with, wont have to worry about the vacuum sucking it up.
Basalt Stone
Small metate y mano (flat basalt grinding stone) for corn?
I am moving and I can’t take mine with me, it’s too big and heavy. I want something small enough to stuff in my suitcase. Something this size: http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/images/grindcorn.jpg
Which shops should I frequent to find a SMALL metate? Most of the ones I find are huge!! I am in california at the moment. I don’t want a bowl mortar and pestle (molcajete), I want a flat grinding stone. Any advice? Thanks!
Find a basalt outcrop near your new home and make one. I mean really, if you want to grind your own corn you might as well make your own metate.
I’m a massage therapist of 3 years and I have the Stone Set and the cabi but if I only want to use a few stones in my massage can I warm them up in the towel warmer? I don’t have alot of counter space and it would just be too inconvenience to set up the stone warmer and have the cabi up for just a few hot stones.
Has anyone tried this before?
Try it to see if the temp of the stones works well for you or if it is too hot. One of my instructors said she always kept one stone heating in the cabi when she was in practice so she could demonstrate to any client who was curious about hot stones. Now I do the same.
Roller Slim Husbands stepdad locked his keys in his 86 gmc truck.?

Try to use a pencil not a mechanical pencil but a regular old pencil. Try to lift the door handle and then put the pencil underneath there and try to push the knob up to unlock it. This has been told by me several times from cops when my girlfriend locks her keys in her car.

Pad Black black light and heat pad for my leopard gecko?
should i leave both the heat pad and black light on overnight for my leopard gecko? the light is called a moonlight on the box, and it looks like a black light.
If you have a terrarium/aquarium that is large enough I would say you should be leaving the heat pad on and placing it on the right (or left) half of your terrarium/aquarium and putting your black light over that same half. Then the Gecko will have half a tank of warmed area and half a tank of room temp, cooler area and it will just have to move a little to get into the temp its seeking. Also then you won’t have to worry about overheating b/c the gecko can move away from it.

I have heard that elliptical machines are really good, cuz they burn alot of calories..even better than a treadmill. and they work you thighs, buns, and calves…plus the arms, and shoulders..and even the tummy..try it u may be amazed!!
Infrared Heat Can you use a reptile infrared heat lamp to keep baby chicks and cuklings warm?
Yes, you want to place the lamp so the temp. for new chicks is about 102 F. You want to have the light covering only about 50% of the area the chicks will be in. This allows them to get out from the heat if they want. If the chicks bunch on top of each other they need more heat. If they lay down panting away from each other they are too hot.
After the second week, lower the average temp. two degrees/wk.
Infrared Heat
How does UV radiation differ from infrared radiation (heat)?
Both UV and infrared radiation are electromagnetic waves; such as visible light, microwaves, radio and tv waves, x-rays… They are different because they have different energies and wavelengths.
UV rays are higher energy waves, with short wavelengths, just above the visible blue light of the Spectrum. Infrared is at the other end of the spectrum, just below visible red light, and has less energy and a larger wavelength.
