Every autumn, I receive lots of email from growers telling me how they brought their
Venus Flytraps indoors because of a weather forecast predicting frost.

It is a myth, plain and simple, that these North American carnivorous plants must be
protected from frost. Ironically, frost is what helps them survive the winter!

Frost is the signal that plants need to know when it is time to go dormant. As
Flytraps prepare for dormancy (and yes, they need to go dormant), they produce
anti-freeze chemicals that help them survive freezing temperatures.

So, if you prevent your Venus Flytraps from experiencing frost, you prevent them
from producing those anti-freeze chemicals. More importantly, you put your plants
at risk and make it much harder on yourself.

You see, without any anti-freeze chemicals, Flytraps must always be protected from
freezing temperatures. But, at the same time, they still need cool temperatures to
slow down in growth and go dormant.

But, without frost, plants rarely enter deep dormancy. At the most, they enter what
is called a winter rest. This is when plants are still growing, but they grow very
slowly and their leaves look weak and listless. Flytraps in this state of growth
actually require more care than those that go completely dormant.

Caring for Venus Flytraps during dormancy is very easy. Once dormant, simply keep
the soil moist and protect the plant whenever the temperature goes below 20F,
which is true for any plant grown in containers, carnivorous or otherwise. Flytraps
are native to North Carolina, so they are not at all unfamiliar with snowy conditions.

So, let your Venus Flytraps experience frost. Not only will you be helping them
produce those anti-freeze chemicals, you will have an easier time caring for them
when they go completely dormant.

A trade show represents an excellent opportunity to present your company and its products to an audience looking for new ideas and innovation in a specific field. And even if you are not attending a traditional “trade show” but something more like a product exhibit or vendor showcase, it is important that your presentation is attractive and professional so you can attract prospective customers.

Portable trade show displays are a good choice for exhibitors who travel to shows, bring a small sales force and want an economical way to display their company and product information. Below are some of the benefits of using portable displays:

1. Portable trade show displays can be affordably shipped via UPS or FedEx. Traveling for business can be a hassle. Many exhibitors ship their trade show display and all the demo products, sales literature and computers ahead of time to make the trip less trouble. Since a portable display is made to transport easily, shipping it via UPS or FexEx is not expensive. And you can even bring a portable display with you on an airplane if you are concerned about it getting lost in transit.

2. A portable display typically fits into one or two shipping cases. We’re not talking huge shipping crates but portable shipping cases that aren’t overly heavy or awkwardly shaped. Most shipping cases have wheels and can be easily wheeled into the trade show venue.

3. No drayage fees if you bring the display with you. If your trade show display is shipped, typically the trade show venue will charge a drayage fee for storing the display until it is set up. Depending on how large your display is, the drayage fees can be hundreds of dollars. With a portable display you can bring it with you foregoing the need for the venue to store it.

4. Set up and breakdown of a portable trade show display is quick and easy. At most trade shows you have to use the site’s laborers to set up your display. This can cost $100/hr per person making set up and breakdown of your display costly. A portable trade show display only takes one person and 15 minutes to set up or breakdown, saving you time and money.

Portable displays are all about convenience. They are easy to transport and to set up and breakdown. Consider a portable trade show display when you begin planning your next trade show booth.

Is it possible to make an artificial intelligent robotic android assistant with a sense of humor? How about one which could come up with an original joke on its own? Wow, that is certainly pushing the realm and current paradigm in artificial intelligence isn’t it? One gentleman, Keith, recently stated in an online think tank that;

“Humor is a sophisticated human trait. I’m sure it could be mimicked to some small degree, but anyone could see through that.”

Well, absolutely he is correct in every regard but I did not say it was going to be easy. And to that I certainly hope he is not bailing out on this ultimate challenge? Don’t quit on me now my friend. You will need to program humor, perhaps thru a system which seeks out anomalies in data, ironic situations and points them out to the human is a start.

This should be possible considering the search and retrieval capabilities needed for operation of an artificial intelligent android. The artificial intelligent android robot must be convincible and treated as equal, respected and trusted, and therefore camaraderie is needed and advisable.

Perhaps it might be possible to program the artificial intelligent robotic android to continually search its memory during each task, like a human does, while thinking while doing something else. Perhaps when it finds an ironic situation it can apply this logic to some other set of events that made a human laugh previously and put together a couple of one liners? HA, can you just imagine the joke telling robots of the future. Now that is what I call artificial intelligence. Consider this in 2006.

More and more people are turning to natural and herbal detox products to help to thoroughly cleanse their vital organs and regain optimum health, vitality and energy.

So, what parts of the body can you detoxify with herbal detox products?

Well, to begin with - the liver, the colon and the lungs are some of the primary organs that should be targeted in your detox and thorough body cleansing routine. The colon is probably the most commonly detoxed part of the body. The colon can often get bogged down by unhealthy traces of old food, parasites and a thick plaque-like substance that makes for serious discomfort and health issues such as irritable
bowel syndrome, lazy bowels, and even colon or rectal cancer. An herbal colon detox targets these impurities to help cure chronic indigestion, diarrhea and/or constipation, poor immune capabilities, chronic fatigue syndrome and weight gain.

The second Part of the Body that Benefits from Herbal Detox Immensely - The Liver

The liver is one of the most important organs of the human body, since it essentially acts as the body’s “filter” for impurities and toxins. The liver basically detoxifies our blood by filtering impurities and harmful and destructive substances such as food additives, preservatives and pesticides that are ingested on a daily basis. A poorly functioning liver can lead to several health issues such as poor digestion, fatigue, and even depression due to toxic residue buildup and the resulting hormonal imbalance. A good herbal liver detox product will deeply cleanse the liver of excess impurities and allow it to again function at peak “like new” performance.

Herbal Lung and Anti Parasite Detox

The next detox product we’ll go over, but certainly not the final detox product available to you, is the lung cleansing and detoxification herbal formula. You may wonder how a product can “cleanse” your lungs. I was curious too. Here’s what I found: Herbal lung detoxes are designed to promote a healthy
respiratory system by cleansing and detoxifying the lungs and bronchial passages. Cleansing the respiratory system helps to increase lung capacity and helps the lungs and bronchial airways to expel toxins such as smoke and other air pollution more quickly and efficiently.

A good anti-parasite herbal detox will gently cleanse harmful and destructive intestinal parasites from the digestive tract and colon. Intestinal parasites will adversely affect your gastrointestinal system, and most people are infected with these parasites - they just don’t know it. Parasite cleansers helps rid your body of parasites to help improve your digestion and waste elimination process. They also help to promote good kidney and bladder health as it will help to cleanse and eliminate parasites in these major organs as well.

So, there you have it, four of the best parts of the body to herbally detox. You may not have even known these types of products were available. But they are - and they can arm you with the tools you need to live as healthfully as possible, and even help to extend the life and function of your most vital organs. Not only that, they will help to dramatically boost and enhance your quality of life by allowing you to breathe easier, feel lighter and more regular, and to be healthy and happy.

On many different levels erasing a criminal background is a good idea and in many United States jurisdictions entirely within the realm of possibility. Each state and territory within the United States has some kind of law that deals with legally erasing or hiding a criminal background within that jurisdiction.

Some states make the remedy very attainable (or easy to qualify for) and others have more stringent criteria. Regardless of jurisdiction, retaining a good, competent lawyer should always be your first step when pursuing a plan to tidy up your past.

Why?

Because having such legal help could make the difference in your success. Let me lay out the situation.

Law is not black and white. Laws typically give the rules but do not necessarily provide guidance on how the rule should be applied in a particular case. Further, there are exceptions to most rules/laws. Knowing if and how an exception applies in your case can be important and tricky. It may well mean the difference in whether or not you’re able to succeed in erasing or hiding your criminal background.

A good lawyer will be able to help you navigate the morass and tangle of laws that could be your ticket to legally scrubbing the indiscretions of your past. Additionally, if your case does not perfectly fit the provisions of the law allowing for an expungement (legal erasing of a criminal background) a competent lawyer may be able to find a way to help by finding a little-known exception or a creative argument that gets the intended result. This is where lawyers really earn their salt.

Here’s another thing: laws can be (and often are) ambiguous. This circumstance by definition leaves more control of the case in the discretion of a judge. Essentially this means that two different people with the same criminal background can have two different results. In other words, a judge in one case can decide that the person petitioning the court is entitled to expungement under the laws of the state while a different judge looking at the same case could swing the other way.

Here again, having a competent lawyer may help sway the court into giving you the benefit of the doubt in a close call. Further, it never hurts if your attorney happens to be politically connected.

I want to make this last point crystal clear: you should never try to clean up your criminal background without the help a lawyer. Why? Because there are tons of pitfalls that could easily lead to failure and worse, some peril related to arousing interest in a dormant criminal case. You don’t want a prosecutor trying to resurrect a case against you just because you went nosing around without knowing what you were doing.

Do yourself a favor. Get my book (”The Ultimate Guide to Second Chances: Legal Ways to Erase or Hide Your Criminal Background”) and get a lawyer!

Texas attorney Daniel Hall is the author of the upcoming book “The Ultimate Guide to Second Chances: Legal Ways to Erase or Hide Your Criminal Background” He learned that the remedies discussed in the book existed when he discovered some of his clients had minor criminal blemishes which were holding them back. The book is designed to help those people with petty criminal records which according to tracking statistics is fully 25% of the American populace.
