Every now and then someone wants to figure out the worldwide average time of birth. Not only that, but the average birth of people in different nations. The sad part about this type of research is that apparently it’s never been done. Do a simple search on Google or any other search engines for “average time of birth” and tell me what you get – nothing. You’ll see stats related to average day of birth, or the average age of new mothers – things like that, but no actual information that will give us an average of the times of the day a person was born. Not good. But the reason I’m writing this is in the hopes that some day in the future, someone will leave a comment with this statistic although […]

Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code is a voluntary bankruptcy used to repay all or some of an individual’s debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is only available to individuals (not corporations) who have a regular income. A Little About Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Chapter 13 is often called a “wage earner’s plan.” Chapter 13 can stop a foreclosure or repossession and allow the individual time to make payments over three to five years. Repayment Plan The main feature of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the repayment plan, which must be approved by the bankruptcy court (known as “conformation” of the plan). Within 15 days of the filing of the Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition, the debtor must file a proposed plan to repay creditors over three to five years. The debtor must make the first payment […]

When it comes to bankruptcy, there are several types you can apply for like Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 is the most commonly filed bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is called a “liquidation” bankruptcy and is used by individuals, partnerships, or corporations that have no hope for repairing their financial situation and repaying creditors. During a Chapter 7 case, all of the property is liquidated in accordance with the rules of the federal Bankruptcy Code and the proceeds are used to pay creditors. State and federal laws allow individual debtors to keep property necessary for the financial restructuring process during Chapter 7 bankruptcy. These laws are commonly known as “exemptions” and allow debtors to protect a reasonable amount of equity in vehicles, homes, household furniture, clothing, electronics, tools […]

I can’t tell you how often people think that the little noises in their walls are insects when in fact it’s a huge sign they need specialized mice control. So earlier this week I was in Ancaster at a client’s house where she clearly needed mice control or the walls in her home were going to eventually be completely ruined. She was hearing frequent little scratching in her walls in various parts of her home and she decided to give us a call. After I arrived and the home owner explained her problem to me I decided to take a little visit to the attic to see what I could find, if anything. Well I wasn’t surprised. What I found is what we in the animal control industry like to call a mouse […]

Here’s the mercury symbol most familiar with astrology. ☿ This link will give you the ascii code for all the astrological symbols.

Foul odors are one of the biggest problems that many homeowners and even apartment residents face. The odors can come from anything, such as overcooked or spoiled food, or even dirty laundry. Treating this kind of problem often requires covering up the smell with sprays, candles, or even opening the windows to let fresh air in. This does help, but it often only covers up the smell. Find The Source Of The Odor Depending on the odor, it may be hard to pinpoint exactly where it is coming from. For example, a single spoiled item in the trash bin can cause an entire room to smell foul. Finding the source of the smell and removing it from the home can have an immediate impact on freshing the air, however, it will still be […]

The best way to prevent problems with a vacuum cleaner is to make sure that it is always in good shape. To do this, make sure that is serviced on a regular basis, such as every few years. Regular service often helps to catch issues before they become a big problem. However, many avoid this and simply use their sweeper until it finally breaks or needs work. Identify The Problem If Possible If the unit has stopped working like it used to, the first step is to try to identify the problem. This will make it much easier to figure out what kind of vacuum cleaner service and repair is needed. It may be a simple issue such as a lack of suction caused by a damaged hose, or a wheel that squeaks […]

Many vacuum cleaner owners are familiar with having to go to a store and locate a new belt or bag for their sweeper. Some may also know the frustration of not being able to find the right part. If the right replacement isn’t available, then owners are often forced to drive around town trying to find a replacement, or may have to call a number of stores trying to locate one. Start By Looking Online For Parts Fortunately, one of the fastest ways to find vacuum cleaner parts now is to simply look online for them. This is because many stores offer an online shop that has a much larger inventory. Even if a particular online store is out of stock, there are often a number of other sites that may carry the […]

No one wants bats in their home, but if it happens, removing them is a high priority. Getting control of a bat who’s managed to intrude into your premises isn’t easy and so to help you avoid such a situation I’m going to give you a list of the top ten ways a bad can get into your home. Before I give you the list, I’d like you to know that I by all means think bats are beautiful creatures and I’m well aware that they contribute positively to any local ecosystem – even the world. I’m writing this because once a bat or two do get into your home, there are a few dangers you can be faced with and so bat-proofing your home is of the utmost importance especially if you […]

The following is one of my favorite quotes by Terence McKenna: “The Mind is more powerful than any particle accelerator, more sensitive than any radio receiver or the largest optical telescope; more complete in it’s grasp of information than any computer. The Human Body, it’s voice, it’s power of locomotion, and it’s imagination is a more than sufficient means, for the explorations of any time or energy level, in the Universe. Through Alternative Healing methods, we have become aware of our Electro Magnetic Energy fields, and the importance of our neurobiology and bio-chemistry. Through this and the discoveries made in the area of genetics, we are becoming aware that our chemistry affects our Consciousness.”

There’s nothing like a good laugh and joke and no matter why you landed on this page, it was all in good spirits. Here are 3 jokes I picked up from Brainy Quotes about Jokes: Marilyn Monroe “I don’t mind making jokes, but I don’t want to look like one.” Thomas Aquinas “It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.” David Ogilvy “The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.” And my all time favorite Joke (for now) “A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes. Ludwig Wittgenstein”

So I’m not talking about keeping a snake you’ve found, I’m talking about the health risks of stray wildlife like raccoons and squirrels that have made a nest in your home. And it is dangerous. Let me put together a scenario for you to imagine that might put harbouring wildlife in your home into a new perspective. Imagine you’ve seen a few baby raccoons walking around your roof. You think to yourself “hey, it’s not too bad, maybe I’ll just let them stay in my attic for the winter. They’ll probably leave after the winter and there’s nothing wrong with giving them a little heat during the cold days”. Well, generally speaking, the animals themselves will probably do humans no harm and if they reside in your attic, that’s probably where they’ll stay […]

It’s incredible and it never ceases to amaze me. It’s true, you can post a picture of Janice Joplin, captioned with a completely illogical quote, and people will like it because it’s a Janice Joplin quote. Well what if Janice Joplin was wrong? Would you still like the picture? Would you still like the quote? Here’s a better question: do you think you would like and agree with every thing that Janice Joplin ever said? Most likely probably not. I’ve sadly seen thousands upon thousands of pictures with completely illogical and insane captions – all earning hundreds or thousands of likes and hundreds of thousands of comments agreeing with it. I just know if I get each and every one of them in a room, I could prove to them that they indeed don’t […]

Each type of floor material has its own set of rules and tricks for keeping it clean. Carpets benefits from being shampooed, rugs sometimes need to be cleaned or treated, and wood floors need to be conditioned. Some may agree that a hardwood floor is sometimes a little tougher to keep clean, but there are a few easy ways to keep it shiny and looking like new for years to come. Remove Dust And Dirt The first tip to keeping any wood floor looking new is to always keep it clean. The best way to do this is to use a hardwood floors vacuum instead of a broom and dust pan. Some may find that they only need to vacuum once per week, but others may find that it has to be done […]

Cleaning up after pets can be a constant chore, especially if they have long fur or shed a lot. It sometimes means having to vacuum every few days, or even daily, depending on the amount they shed. There are other factors in how often a home has to be cleaned if there are pets in it, such as what kind of floors are in the home, and what type of vacuum is available. Why Are Some Floors So Hard To Clean? It may surprise some pet owners, but not every type of floor cleans the same. Hardwood floors, for example, are surprisingly difficult to clean due to the way that they are designed. Wood floors tend to have cracks or slits between the planks that can sometimes trap fur and dander, which can […]

Stop and think for a moment about whether you’re spreading the flu virus to other people after winning Tim Horton’s Roll Up The Rim contest. I mean really think about it. Is it possible that you’re getting other people sick? The answer is yes. Why can’t Tim Horton’s Relieve Itself From All Sanitary Issues? I’m going to get to the point in a moment, but before I do, feel free to read one of my previous articles addressing how your Tim Hortons’ coffee cup lid has the potential of being highly unsanitized. There were quite a large number of responses to the article but in the end nothing has changed. Maybe this article will help promote some necessary changes – and hopefully soon.

For 93 days I’ll listen to this song, when I’m down and deep under, and very long gone. So now I call this the funeral song. The Funeral Song

This is a copy of a hub that seems to have been removed from hubpages, written by Sanctus Vesania, titled: Jesus Christ IS the TRUE lucifer (morning star, light bringer). The author presents some interesting facts that Christians and Non-Christians alike can appreciate. Origins of the word Lucifer Note:  This hub will hopefully explain not only how Jesus is the true lucifer (lower case to refer not to a proper name), but also how the ‘Lucifer’ mentioned in Isaiah is nothing more than a fraud who did not, does not, and will never truly deserve that title. Before we begin let us figure out Lucifer means. In Latin Lucifer means “Light Bringer” and is the name of the Morning Star. The word Lucifer appears only once in the Bible and only in the KJV. Isaiah […]

A party is the perfect way to spend time with friends, family, and co-workers. Parties can be thrown for any occasion, such as a raise, promotion, birthday, big announcement, or even just because. No matter how big or small the event is though, there is a reality of the mess that will be left behind after everyone leaves. Cleaning this up can take a lot of time without a good plan for handling it. Save Time By Planning Ahead The easiest way to clean up after a party is to plan ahead. The reason for this is that there are several time saving ways to reduce the amount of mess that will be created, or that needs to be cleaned up. An easy way to clean faster after a party is to choose […]

As stated at Wikipedia: Holophonics is a binaural recording system created by Hugo Zuccarelli that is based on the claim that the human auditory system acts as an interferometer. It relies on phase variance, just like stereophonic sound. The sound characteristics of holophonics are most clearly heard through headphones; though they can be effectively demonstrated with 2-channel stereo speakers, provided that they are phase-coherent. The word “holophonics” is related with “acoustic hologram”. Holophonic (I call them 3D sounds for now) sounds are created in a way that makes the listener perceive the sounds in the same way we hear life around us naturally. The way we hear things enables us to perceive where sounds are coming from. That’s kind of what a holographic sound will sound like. The only way to really understand […]

I’m going to say it like it is. If you want to avoid the flu this year (2013) and every year thereafter, you need to go commando. You need to stop mucking around and get to the point – with yourself and others. Apparently this flu season will break previous records. The Toronto Star has already posted how the flu has hit Toronto GTA hard and New York City is reporting high levels of influenza-like-illnesses; and in LA they’re saying the Flu season hit U.S. early and hard. So is this year’s flu virus going to turn into a pandemic? I’m not one to say, but before it gets its way with you, read the following: Wash your hands after you’ve visited the store or supermarket You should wash your hands especially after visiting the […]

This is information that will help you edit your eDirectory site sidebar. First you’ll need to know these paths: /custom/domain_1/theme/default/body/listing_detail.php If you copy, cut and upload that file, you’ll see your header and footer still. Look for this in the above file: include(LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/join.php”); LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT is the directory of the page you are on – it’s within the public/root directory. If you delete it you’ll be able to remove it from the page. If you want to, you can edit a number of parts of your sidebar – actually whatever is there.

If you used Google’s translate program “Google Translate” you wouldn’t have had to search and find this page to answer your question as to what Lucidus Oriens Astrum means.

Honestly, the reason I’m writing this is to express an opinion about dating sites that is held my many. Toronto dating sites bite. Why? Well, I’m more than sure sites offering the same services in other cities suck the same but since I’m out here in the good old T Dot, I might as well share my experiences. Yes even the popular PlentyOfFish site sucks too and here’s why. Dating sites don’t work! If you want to really calculate who win’s with dating sites, start with the website owners. They probably take home more from their dating site than any user. And that goes with all of them – paid, free dating and the gigantic ones where it’s free and you pay for some services – they all suck. We could also look deeper […]

Sometimes life sucks, huh? Just when you thought you had refined your SEO skills down to an art Google pulled a fast one on you. The Panda update was bad enough and now you have to contend with the “minor” update called Penguin. This update has caused its fair share of controversy with many webmasters claiming that they were wrongly penalized. Google on the other hand insists that Penguin is only meant to penalize poor quality sites. While this may be true, the verdict is still out there as numerous good quality sites have sank into oblivion while some obviously “spammy” sites are yet to be affected. So What Exactly Is The Google Penguin Update? This is the latest Google update intended to prevent black hat SEO and spammy sites from worming their […]

I am. Apparently tonight’s moon will be the biggest moon of 2012 and is being dubbed “the Super Moon”. Moon watchers are saying the moon will be 14% bigger in the sky and over 30% brighter. I’m not sure if you remember but there was a similar super moon in March of 2011 and was 248 miles closer than the super moon will be tonight, May 5, 2012. According to some reports, the larger looking moon of Saturday night won’t be too easily to perceive with the naked eye. Astrologically speaking, the other celestial bodies will be drowned out by the light of the big Scorpio moon tonight, the sign which represents among other things, death and rebirth. According to the “Ascended” tonight’s full moon ushers in the new age of Aquarius – the […]

You’ll be happy to know that this post will give you the information to do the job. It’ll help you bulk delete that chunk of spammer subscribers from your WordPress blog. Finally right? I’d agree. Now, keep in mind, that I did find this code elsewhere but I won’t be linking to the post because for one, the solution was in a comment and 2, it messed up my site just a bit and for about 10 minutes there was a 500 server error displaying. I believe this is because the job of deleting was happening in the background and I should have left the site alone. After stumbling for a way to fix the 500 server error I found when navigating to the home page, the WordPress install page was displaying. That’s […]
