Wait until after all signs of frost have passed, and average soil temperatures are at least 50 °F (10 °C).  Alternatively, you can sow the hollyhock seeds directly in the ground at this time (0.25 to 0.5 in (0.64 to 1.27 cm) deep) if you did not start the plants indoors. Test the ground temperature with a soil thermometer by sticking it roughly 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm) into the ground (according to its instructions), or simply estimate the soil temperature according to a growing guide for your local area. Hollyhocks can be grown in a number of climates and environments. That said, your plants are more likely to thrive if your garden provides them with at least 6 hours of daily sunlight. Hollyhocks can tolerate partial shade as long as they get at least 6 hours of sun daily, but the flowers may be smaller and the colors not as vibrant. Because hollyhocks grow so tall, they tower above many garden flowers, making them more vulnerable to winds and precipitation. Plant them near a wall, tucked into a corner of fencing, or in a garden with other flowers of similar height. Keep an eye on your potential growing spot after a decent rain shower. If the soil remains moist more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep (check with your finger) the next day, but isn't muddy or puddled with water, it will be okay for hollyhocks. Hollyhocks do best when grown in nutrient-rich soil. Consider mixing in organic compost and/or aged manure to enhance the nutrient level in your planting area. Hollyhocks are fairly tolerant in regards to soil pH, and can thrive in conditions ranging from 6.0 to 8.0. But you still may want to test your soil and amend its pH if necessary. If they are a particularly tall variety, you may even want to go with 18 to 36 in (46 to 91 cm) spacing. Transplant seedlings with the soil surrounding their roots, at a depth that puts this transplanted soil either level with or just slightly above the existing garden soil. If you’re direct sowing seeds into the soil, plant the seeds 3 to 6 in (7.6 to 15.2 cm) apart and 0.25 to 0.5 in (0.64 to 1.27 cm) deep, and thin the seedlings to the larger spacing of your choice. You don't need to drown them, however. Just make sure the ground is moistened to a depth greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use your finger to test it. The mulch helps to keep the soil moist, provides a weed barrier, and creates an environment for seeds to burrow into in the fall for spring germination.  You can make organic mulch out of shredded leaves and yard trimmings, or buy it at any garden center. Spread the mulch evenly around the base of the plant — don’t pile it up against the stalk.

Summary: Plant the hollyhocks outdoors in the spring. Choose a sunny garden location. Pick a spot that's sheltered from the wind. Look for an area where the soil stays moist but drains well. Enrich the soil with organic compost if needed. Space plants 12 to 24 in (30 to 61 cm) apart when transplanting them. Give each transplant or seed a good initial watering. Surround each plant with 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of organic mulch.


” Most personal trainers suggest that losing belly fat is 90 percent diet and 10 percent exercise. If you do not eat a well-balanced diet, this step is extremely important. Reducing sugar and empty calories from white processed carbohydrates will allow you to burn fat faster.  This includes liquid calories like sodas, coffee drinks and alcohol. Most nutritionists consider it impossible to lose belly fat quickly and healthfully without removing processed foods. A woman between the age of 19 and 50 needs at least 2.5 cups of vegetables per day. Choose your vegetables for their color. Try to make a colorful plate, and you will get more nutrients. Women between the ages of 19 and 50 need between 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit per day. *Eating your favourite fruits will help boost your appetite for healthy foods. Choose grains like quinoa, brown rice and barley over whole grain bread. The less processed the grain is, the better it will be for your body.  Choose whole grains that have a low glycemic index. This means they don’t spike your blood sugar, and they will make you fuller for longer. Go to glycemicindex.com to view how your favorite foods fit onto the glycemic index. Eat quality protein, like salmon, tuna, turkey, chicken and legumes every day (women who are pregnant, nursing, or considering getting pregnant should be careful about the amount of mercury in their diet and avoid eating excessive quantities of some fish). Add in low-fat dairy in the form of yogurt. Yogurt helps lower cortisol levels with calcium. Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt, and 1 serving per day, as part of a balanced diet, can help you burn off belly fat faster. Studies have shown that people who ingested 600mg of catechins, an antioxidant found in green tea, lost 16 times more visceral fat than those who did not drink it. Look for green tea that has high levels of anti-oxidants. You must drink it hot to receive these benefits.

Summary: Follow the adage “abs are made in the kitchen. Cut out processed sugars and grains. Plan your meals based on servings of fruits and vegetables. Add in whole grains. Plan your protein. Drink 2 to 5 cups of green tea daily.

If “rstrui.exe” does not execute the System Restore application, type “C:\windows\system32\rstrui.exe” instead. You should select a restore point that was created far before the date and time at which your computer initially became infected by the FBI MoneyPak virus. If you do not see any early restore points from before the date of the infection, place a checkmark next to “Show more restore points” to load additional early restore points.  ” Your computer will then start to restore itself to the state it was in on the date and time you selected.

Pay attention to any abnormal bleeding from the vagina, especially if you are past menopause. If you experience any of the following every day for 2 weeks or longer, see your doctor immediately:  Pelvic or abdominal pain Back pain Feel exhausted or worn down all the time Bloating Frequent urination Upset stomach or heartburn  Constipation Unusual vaginal discharge There is no easy or reliable test for ovarian cancer in the absence of symptoms or warning signs. If you are experiencing unusual symptoms or at an increased risk for ovarian cancer, talk to your doctor to see if further screening would be helpful. Know what is natural for you. Understand your body and how it functions. Advise your doctor of any changes in your body, especially if the changes involve pelvic pain or an unusual vaginal discharge. If you are at risk, and especially if you have developed symptoms that are unusual for your body, ask your gynecologist whether you should be screened for ovarian cancer. The sooner ovarian cancer is detected, the more likely you are to be able to treat it.  Your doctor may recommend a rectovaginal pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound, or a CA-125 blood test. Screening can be hard, especially in women who are overweight.  It is hard to feel for ovarian enlargement on physical examination and ultrasound has difficulty with the increased body mass.  If you are overweight and considering evaluation, you may want to consider a CT of the pelvis.
Summary: Watch for symptoms that are not typical for your body. Talk to your gynecologist. Talk to your doctor about screening for ovarian cancer.
