I think it is lots of fun, not sure what the winter version looks like...
what do you think of lovely exterior walls?
Healthier eco-friendly Grass roofs?
Healthier eco-friendly Grass
roofs?
Grass roofs have been around for centuries, millennia? My home in Litchfield, CT where I lived as a kid had a complete grass roof, and a solar section facing south.
My parents were Norwegian, and the huge hunting lodge in Norway that my family owns also has a grass roof to this day. Grass insulates against heat in the summer, and cold in the winter. It absorbs water, decreases run-off (an urban problem), and refreshes the air (another urban issue).
Primary concerns here in America for installing grass roofs is the cost, as well as the codes for structural strength. Older buildings may have enough strength to carry the load, newer codes may not accommodate.
There are aesthetics benefits for rooftop grass and gardens. A growing movement is “afoot” that is green, so let your imagination go green! Growing awareness is good too.
ACUPUNCTURE - and appetite control
Appetite is your body’s urge to eat, namely to satiate hunger, and is a trait shared by most species of higher life forms. There are many disorders that are directly linked to appetite, including anorexia, bulimia, overeating and binge eating. The region of the brain that controls appetite is called the hypothalamus.
Your appetite is regulated by a number of physical and mental factors including the digestive tract and the central nervous system. When these items aren’t functioning correctly, a dysfunction of appetite occurs, either under eating (anorexia nervosa) or overeating (polyphaglia). The dangers presented by these conditions include ingesting either too much or too little nutrition, both of which can pose life-threatening health dangers.
Acupuncture is used to help correct the appetite in a weight loss program. Point sites for appetite control are found on the external ear, as well as odd places like the feet, or hands, or even the abdomen. Upper back point sites may be chosen. Treatments often include other considerations such as metabolism improvements, elimination of fats and fluids, as well as improved diet and exercise advice. Emotional aspects that underlie can also be addressed with acupuncture. The body has a history that it subconsciously remembers and that can affect it’s ability to be optimally functioning and healthy. Acupuncture theory can recognize some signs to that history, and how the body is currently affected, and then chose appropriate point sites to give improvement.

Hi Ingri,
I've been treated by you for two distinct symptoms. The first, over 15 years ago, was for a tendon sheath problem in my right arm, which prevented me from doing even everyday tasks, such as writing, lifting even light objects, and extending my arm to reach for anything. The acupuncture treatment was fully effective, and I avoided costly surgery, that offered only a chance of relief.
I am symptom free today, 15 years later.
Currently, I am experiencing achilles tendon problems, and the course of acupuncture has allowed me to function almost fully at this time. Continued acupuncture treatments are planned as this is the best relief I have had for this ongoing issue.
Thanks,
Robert

Samuel L. Jackson talks about getting Acupuncture:
The 61-year-old now relies on acupuncture to keep himself in shape, saying he can't get enough of the practice. "It's one of my favorite things. I get it all the time, like twice a week, for my well being," he told American talk show host Ellen Degeneres. "I just go and get my 'waa' put in place, and get everything moving."
