Can belief in something – individual or collective – make something real? Essentially, is belief in something enough to bring it to life, to allow it to manifest and exist in our physical world? Could perception, quite literally, even become reality? While conventional thought says no to such questions, as we will examine, such contemplations are not at all so clean-cut as being able to answer yes or no.

Your feeder should match the size of your hummingbird population. If the feeder is not being used, don't fill it up. To help reduce territoriality, have more feeders that will support more hummingbirds.   Start your weekend with these cute teacup piglets! ???? https://t.co/dz1vda2Cci pic.twitter.com/TQlCbJslPh — Homesteading (@HomesteadingUSA) September 23, 2016   Hummingbird Nectar Freshness: Replace the mixture every 4 to 5 days, but more frequently if temperatures are over 90° F. If you see mold and your fluid appears cloudy, clean the feeder immediately and thoroughly. Remember that mold is toxic to your poor hummingbird. Location of Your Feeder: Make sure that your feeder is beyond the reach of cats and any other predators. To avoid predation, never put your feeder near the hummer’s nest. It would be great if you could place your feeder in a shady spot and where you see it. You know how fun it is to watch your hummingbird feed. Maintenance of Your Feeder image via grateful prayer thankful heart Always clean feeders between refillings, never “top off” without cleaning. When cleaning, use water and mild detergent, make sure to rinse thoroughly. Soak the feeder in bleach and water solution every once a month.

Click to Skip Ahead Overview Potential Benefits Potential Dangers When to Call the Vet Nutrition is becoming a real spotlight these days when it comes to our pets. As pet parents, we strive to learn all we can about the best products and ways we can keep our dogs nutritionally sound. Since water is the main source of hydration for our dogs, we want to make sure they’re getting a healthy option. You might have heard about alkaline water, but you might wonder if it’s safe for our canine friends. Alkaline water is generally safe for dogs, but the potential benefits have not really been studied in dogs, only humans, and even then, the benefits are unclear. In this article, we’re going to explain what alkaline water can potentially do for our dog’s bodies and if you should avoid it.   Why Can Dogs Have Alkaline Water? Dogs can safely have alkaline water in moderation. While there haven’t been a ton of studies on the subject yet, the mineral and electrolyte content alone are worth it. However, the jury is still out on whether alkaline water is suitable for your dog every time they drink water. One thing we know for sure is that alkaline water may have several potential benefits for dogs. But these have not been studied extensively. Potential Benefits of Serving Alkaline Water to Dogs Before you pour the alkaline water in your dog’s food bowl, you should know what to expect as far as results. Even though you might not notice a miracle straight away, there is really a lot going on under the radar. There could be a few benefits to your dog drinking alkaline water—but moderation is key. Your pup shouldn’t have alkaline water for every bowl refill, as their bodies simply don’t need that strong of a pH. Image Credit: LightField Studios, Shutterstock Alkaline Water Can Neutralize Excess Acidity Alkaline water usually has a pH of between 8 and 9. Because alkalinity is opposite of acidity, alkaline water is thought to naturally reduce the amount of acid in the body over time. High acidity levels can cause all sorts of unwanted symptoms, like: Nausea Vomiting Bloating Abdominal discomfort Diarrhea Heartburn Decreased appetite Unexplained weight loss If your dog’s body starts to neutralize itself, you might notice a decrease in these signs. Image Credit: Krasula, Shutterstock It Delivers Electrolytes and Minerals Alkaline water is full of natural minerals and electrolytes. This may help improve digestion and boost metabolism. Your dog may be more active, alert, and energetic after a few short weeks. Alkaline Water Allows More Absorption Because body tissue absorbs alkaline water so well, it may increase overall hydration. Since hydration is totally vital to the wellbeing of our pets, a little extra can only help. Plus, a lot of our dogs don’t drink the appropriate levels of water on a daily basis anyway. Any little bit helps! Potential Dangers of Alkaline Water for Dogs Of course, if your dog gulps down a cup full of alkaline water, it won’t hurt them—but they shouldn’t drink it on a daily basis. Why’s that? Research has shown a few areas of alkaline water are doing more harm than good. Alkaline Water Can Interfere with Medications Because alkaline water impacts your dog’s metabolism, you should never offer it to them while they are on any medications. It can lead to the increase of medicine effectiveness in the body, which can in turn have an exaggerated effect. Image Credit: Soho A Studio, Shutterstock Avoid Alkaline Water While Nursing Alkaline water isn’t good for nursing mothers. So, if you have a mother feeding her young, it’s best to steer clear of this type of water. Instead, select natural spring water for optimal hydration. When in Doubt, Call the Vet We are lucky to have such awesome professionals on standby ready to help us with our canine pals. So, if you just aren’t sure about all this alkaline water business, ask your vet for an explanation of the benefits and downfalls. Your vet might have some additional information or experience that can provide a solid opinion. Plus, with your individual dog, there may be other factors to consider that are directly related to their health. Image Credit: Pixel-Shot, Shutterstock Make Sure Your Dog’s Water Bowl Is Clean Daily No matter if you choose to give your dog mostly alkaline water, spring water, filtered water, or a mix of all—having a clean water bowl is the most important thing. These bowls can quickly grow bacteria and all sorts of other funky stuff, which can lead to icky sickness. So, the type of water you offer your dog is slightly less important than the cleanliness of the bowl! Wash your dog’s water bowl every few days thoroughly or even opt for a water fountain to provide filtration. Conclusion Now, you understand the details of offering alkaline water to your dog. Remember, most studies of alkaline water have been done in humans, not dogs, and there still isn’t a lot of information available. It can potentially have its benefits over time. However, it can also potentially cause negative effects in high quantities or over time. Before ever making changes to your dog’s diet, you should always consult with your vet to determine the best course of action.

The sophisticated side of pop. The post George Michael on the two best lyrics he ever wrote first appeared on Far Out Magazine.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer were noted for Rockin’ classical works (“Hoedown,” “Fanfare For The Common Man” and “Pictures At An Exhibition”) and even the “Peter Gunn Theme” from the late-50’s/early-60’s TV detective series. Emerson, Lake & Palmer were prime exponents of the Art-Rock movement. They were also known for flamboyant performances, extended solos, time signature and key changes along with Keith Emerson’s knifing his equipment (organs, pianos, speakers, amps, etc.) and toppling it all over.ELP was a semi-supergroup in that the three members came from bands that while known, had failed to break through. So this was their chance. Emerson was from The Nice, guitarist/bassist Greg Lake had been in the King Crimson and heavy-duty drummer Carl Palmer did time in the Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Atomic Rooster. Karn Evil 9 Their best studio efforts were “Emerson, Lake & Palmer” (their debut), “Trilogy” and “Brain Salad Surgery” featuring “Karn Evil 9” (“welcome back my friends to the show that never ends”). The songs are focused and ELP is in its most Rock oriented mode. ELP’s ballads like “Lucky Man” from their debut, “From The Beginning” on “Trilogy” and “Still… You Turn Me On” from “Brain Salad Surgery” are a large part of the group’s legacy. Lucky Man From The Beginning Of course, the concept wore out and the group disappeared only to return in the ’80s with Cozy Powell on drums. One suspects he was selected so the group could keep the ELP moniker. Eventually, Palmer wandered back for a reunion tour. ### The post Emerson, Lake & Palmer appeared first on RockinTown.
