This product is nearly identical to Spectro's AcneCare Vanishing Lotion, except it contains a smaller amount (2.5%) of the topical disinfectant benzoyl peroxide. This amount of benzoyl peroxide is generally preferred for mild to moderate acne, but in terms of being better for sensitive skin, there will always be people who have a problem using benzoyl peroxide in any amount. Therefore, if acne and sensitive skin are your concerns, you need to experiment to see how your skin responds to this critical anti-acne ingredient. That said, this is a very good anti-acne product that would earn our highest rating if it contained some anti-irritants to help reduce redness and inflammation; it is fragrance-free.
Spectro Vanishing Lotion for Sensitive Skin works invisibly to treat and prevent acne pimples. Contains benzoyl peroxide that penetrates pores to prevent and kill acne pimples. May be used under make-up. Spectro Vanishing Lotion for Sensitive Skin contains clinically tested acne medication. Consider using for acne prone sensitive skin, or if you suffer from adult acne breakouts.
Active: Benzoyl Peroxide Lotion (2.5%), Other: Acrylates Copolymer, Carbomer 940, Citric Acid, Diazolidinyl Urea, Dimethicone, Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Disodium EDTA, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Silica, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hydroxide, Water, Xanthan Gum
Spectro At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; several fragrance-free products; good anti-acne products with benzoyl peroxide; a moisturizer for eczema that contains a potent topical corticosteroid.
Weaknesses: Lackluster moisturizers, including those aimed at combating eczema; no sunscreens; no exfoliants; no options for oily skin; incomplete options for acne-prone skin; repetitive, boring formulas.
While fragrance-free is always a plus (there are far too many overly fragranced skin-care products at every cosmetics retail outlet), what's truly disappointing is that Spectro products are also free of lots of things that are good for your skin. For example, there are no sunscreens or exfoliants and no moisturizers that contain a broad range of state-of-the-art ingredients, and there are limited options for those struggling with acne. For the most part, these are lackluster, antiquated formulas and, occasionally, really bad formulas. Spectro doesn't seem to have kept abreast of the abundant research about skin for at least a decade.
Spectro is best known for their cleansers, though none of them are standouts or particularly well-formulated given today's standards of excellence. Yes, it's great that all of Spectro's cleansers are mild and water-soluble; what's not so great is that none of them clean skin thoroughly or remove makeup very well, especially the modern makeup enhanced with silicones or other long-wearing ingredients. The amount of cleansing agent each of them contains is minimal, so those concerned with excess facial oil will find their skin requires much more and never really feels clean. If companies like Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Paula's Choice, and Olay can formulate such cleansers, Spectro can (or at least should), too.
The chief reasons to consider this line are because it's inexpensive and, if you suffer from eczema, Spectro offers a moisturizer whose active ingredient is a reliable corticosteroid, the mainstay treatment for most forms of eczema (though it's not without its drawbacks). Otherwise, even if you're looking to save money, there isn't a compelling reason to shop this line. There are plenty of beautifully formulated products available that make settling for just average formulations unnecessary. Besides, whether you're enduring eczema, acne, or other skin conditions, your skin deserves outstanding, not ordinary!

Open a command prompt and run adb update usb to get the .android folder to appear.
goto: %USERPROFILE%\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini and add this to the end of the file and save:

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is being sued in Tulare County, Calif., court in a wrongful-death and product-liability lawsuit brought on by a driver of a rented 2006 Ford Expedition that crashed on Highway 99, killing three passengers visiting from England, including her parents, according to the Fresno Bee.
The lawsuit alleges that Enterprise supplied a vehicle that lacked the manufacturer's factory-installed anti-rollover system, which automatically applies the brakes when the vehicle starts to fishtail.
This is the first lawsuit that accuses Enterprise of supplying a defective vehicle that has gone to trial, lawyer John Kristensen told the Fresno Bee.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car spokeswoman Christy Conrad told the newspaper the company would not comment about the lawsuit until the trial starts, because Superior Court Judge Melinda Reed asked the parties "to be mindful about speaking to the media until jury selection is complete."
Jury selection was on Monday and Tuesday, with opening statements arguments starting today. The trial could take several weeks.
The crash involving the 2006 Ford Expedition occurred July 5, 2005.
A 55-year-old man, 53-year-old woman and 20-year-old man died in the accident. A 16-year-old passenger was left paralyzed and also is a plaintiff in the suit. The three victims were not wearing seat belts, and neither was the 16-year-old, the CHP said.
The driver, Kim Lay, then 30 and living in Fresno, and a female passenger were taken to Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield with minor injuries. Officers said they believed they were wearing seat belts.
Conrad, the spokeswoman for Enterprise, said that although the suit was filed in Los Angeles, it was moved to Tulare County for the convenience of witnesses.

Niall Ferguson: Keynes was wrong because he was childless and gaytags: economics, Niall Ferguson, John Maynard Keynes, homosexuality, Financial Advisor
Harvard Professor and author Niall Ferguson says John Maynard Keynes' economic philosophy was flawed and he didn't care about future generations because he was gay and didn't have children.
Speaking at the Tenth Annual Altegris Conference in Carlsbad, Calif., in front of a group of more than 500 financial advisors and investors, Ferguson responded to a question about Keynes' famous philosophy of self-interest versus the economic philosophy of Edmund Burke, who believed there was a social contract among the living, as well as the dead. Ferguson asked the audience how many children Keynes had. He explained that Keynes had none because he was a homosexual and was married to a ballerina, with whom he likely talked of "poetry" rather than procreated. The audience went quiet at the remark. Some attendees later said they found the remarks offensive.
It gets worse.
Ferguson, who is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University, and author of The Great Degeneration: How Institutions Decay and Economies Die, says it's only logical that Keynes would take this selfish worldview because he was an "effete" member of society. Apparently, in Ferguson's world, if you are gay or childless, you cannot care about future generations nor society....

Hey all, I'm sure this question has crossed all brewers minds at one point or other, but if you were to open a brewery would you shoot for making the absolute best beers possible or shoot for the best possible beers for a certain price? As in, make a pilsner to sell at $2-3 a bottle but is three fold better than Bud or Coors or make a pilsner for $10-20 a bottle but its like drinking god? Any and all thoughts are appreciated!
A base of slightly less expensive beers sold in six packs with some higher quality bombers.
I think you have to build your customer base with good, solid base beers. Then you can go big with special releases.
Give a man a beer, waste an hour. Teach a man to brew, and waste a lifetime! Bill Owen quote
Join the Beacon Point (Aurora, CO) Brewclub on Facebook- casual, fun brewing, drinking, socializing!
I agree....a strong base line of beers to start a following. Then you can expand and brew up some better stuff.
So by 'better' stuff you mean some top of the line brews?
I'm just so divided on which way to go because I find it's equally challenging to produce a top of the line beer for a certain price, or to produce a beer that's the best ever (in that style obviously).
Yes. Make good quality beers that could generate a following. Then i would make some higher end, or special release/limited release, beers with different ingredients.
I'm not sure that the whole premise holds. The ingredients to make any classic pilsner are going to be about the same price whether it is great or horrible. Same holds for most styles.
If you want to make some crazy style that just is inherently expensive to make, then that probably wouldn't be a good beer to start a business plan. eg it's pretty much impossible to open a brewery making all beers that need to be aged for extended periods. You have to pay the bills from day 1 and can't wait for a year to sell your first bomber.
Thats what i mean by starting out making good, solid beers. Then after time you could make other beers...eg aged variations, ingredient variations or just experimental one off beers etc.
No spamman, you make sense!

Nip's solar/quake thread

Well another interesting day, sunshine, rain and a nice break from the norm by going out for dinner.
Man I have some serious cabin fever atm!
Anyways, many discussions seem to be going on about California atm.
I keep getting updates from Fleet at certain times as to the likelihood of this.
I out forward a motion that it could be a good time for stasis, seesings that things are quiet with the changes atm and that it could give us every oppourtunity for announcements and the other fun stiff to go ahead, but tonight I have a feeling that the earth changes may accellerate!
As for not reprting these events from the folks at USGS really saddens me, as I would love to be a siesmologist, I think I hae more integrity than those who work there, for witholding information and such.
There was one reported a little while ago on the CAli/Nevada border of the 4 mag and I think it was 12km in depth, however and I am glad you posted NIP the other quakes.
Knowing how brittle the undersea cave structure is there, any event should be treated with respect and concern for what COULD unfold there. NIP these thoughts just wont seem to leave me alone about this area, and I mentioned it in the past as to what I was receiving, trying harder than ever to clear my channels to connect with those in the know as energy centres do become quite clogged in the current environment, I am told that round the clock monitoring by fleet is taking place and that evacs can be underway if in need.
As well as eqs, one of the recently reported hurrivance, may change its course and I could stand corrected of my recent post regarding them not making landfall.
One seems to be turning north east which if course stays on this direction it could make landfall loweer down in Claifornia. I wonder if kinetic forces could force movemet there as it is much spoken of the tenuous nature of that area in particular.
The mag field seems quiet now and density is lower than before so not much else to report!
Goodnight to you all and hope all is well.
Kind Regards,

I found out not long ago that my insurance is now covering the CGM. I am now using it and so far I'm liking it. It is a little more complicated to learn than the pump but Im getting there.
Is there anybody else who is new to using the CGM? Please let me know how you like it.

I just started using Humalog and didn't really get any instruction on how to use it. I wasn't told to use it before meals or after. I was given a slide scale on the units to use. 0 to150-0 units, 151 to 250 3 units and so on. When I got done eating dinner tonight I took 3 units of Humalog and two hours after eating did my sugar and it was 199, OK, something is wrong here. What can I do or am I doing something wrong.

A truly challenging place to get to...... take A Taxi!!!!!!!!!! But well worth the effort. A lovely spot in a beautiful forest setting. The house and gardens are quite interesting.... a great look at Trabzon life in the early 20th century.

it is nice place to go you can injoy there nice pake the wether was very good i went there by the
office of
Build by the wealthy greek banker Karayannidis as his house and served him and his family till the 1917. After that with the new Turcs movement it was confiscated (nationalised) and Mustafa Kemal stayed there for some days (around two days). Very nice exterior and garden. Very interesting for people who like "tinny" beuty and relaxed atmosphere.
I was expecting something a bit grander, but unless you're a big architecture or Ataturk fan, it's pretty much just a dusty old house. The Trabzon Museum house is much more interesting, beautiful, in the city center and Ataturk stayed there too. I would pass this one up and go to Trabzon Museum instead.
If you're really not big fan of Ataturk, don't waste your time going there.
Nothing so special about it except how the house looks like from outside.
Very good envirenment.There were a lot of historical things.The balcony was good for photographers.All around was like a forest.It was top of Trabzon.We arrived there at a very curly road along.But you must go there early in Sundays because alot of traffic.
Its also called the Ataturk House/Museum. A little difficult to get here - although yu can get a dolmus to take you very close and then walk up (when returning you can get a ticket at the museum itself and a bus comes along every 15-20 minutes).
The Ataturk House holds a high position among the tourist attractions in Trabzon...
If you are an admirer of Ataturk like I am please do not miss this museum when you visit Trabzon. The setting is a bit on the outskirts of the city and the forested neighbourhood is a break from the busy city. The museum has wonderful Ataturk memorabilia and it is kept in good condition. The garden surrounding the villa...

Mosaic is very laid-back and overall has a good work/life balance.Cons
There are loads of employees at Mosaic that have been with the company for so long that they have no idea what is considered good business practices in the current world. Mosaic has little interest in change to improve efficiencies or improve in general. There are few members of management that has what it takes to challenge the status quo. They are often part of the been-there-way-too-long problem.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Bring in fresh blood, especially at your operational divisions. Senior corporate management should be challenging decisions made at the operational management levels to make sure there are sound foundations for the decisions being made. It often seems like the operational management runs the corporate management.Disapproves of CEO

Program/Project Management
Support is building in Congress for legislation that would delay and weaken long-planned regulation of the cement industry.
U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent and U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, both Pennsylvania Republicans, are the latest to call on the Environmental Protection Agency to delay emissions rules that have been in the works for 13 years.
5-Year Delay Sought
Dent has added his name to H.R. 2681, introduced July 28 by Rep. John Sullivan (R-OK) and co-sponsored by 10 lawmakers: eight Republicans and Democrats Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania and Nick J. Rahall II of West Virginia.
Sullivan's "Cement Sector Regulatory Relief Act of 2011" would postpone implementation of the EPA's "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry and Standards of Performance for Portland Cement Plants" and two other emissions rules for five years. Well before then, EPA would be forced to rewrite the rules.
The measure is now before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
2013 Deadline
EPA published the final cement rule in September 2010; companies have until September 2013 to comply.
EPA says the rule would save up to 2,500 lives; 130,000 lost work days; 750,000 days of restricted activity; and billions of dollars in health-care costs and lost productivity.
Dent and Sullivan dispute those benefits. They say the regulations could cut the capacity of the domestic cement industry by 20 percent.
"I'm not aware that there is a plant in America that can comply with all of these rules," Dent told the Reading (PA) Eagle last week. Dent says his Lehigh Valley district is the nation's largest cement-producing district. "We can't afford to lose any more jobs at a time like this."
Senate Letter
On July 27, Toomey and 24 senators—22 of them Republican—wrote a letter to U.S. Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in support of a Senate bill similar to Sullivan's.
"Cement is the key ingredient in concrete, the foundation of American infrastructure," the letter said. "The U.S. cement industry is suffering through its greatest decline since the 1930s, with current employment down to a mere 15,000 high-wage jobs and less than $6.5 billion in 2009 annual revenues."
Toomey said in a statement: "If Congress does not act, the new regulations may impact almost 2,000 workers in 11 different cement plants across Pennsylvania, with seven of these plants located in the Allentown [PA] area alone."
New Kiln Restrictions
The EPA rule marks the first time the federal government has restricted mercury emissions from existing cement kilns. The regulations aim to reduce the annual emissions of mercury and particulate matter by 92 percent, hydrochloric acid by 97 percent, and sulfur dioxide by 78 percent.
Andy O'Hare, vice president of regulatory affairs at the Portland Cement Association, told the Allentown Morning Call that the new rules would cost the nation's 100 cement plants about $3.4 billion.
Plants have been running well below capacity since 2007, and at least 18 plants will close before 2013 because they can't comply with the new rule, O'Hare said.
O'Hare said he was not trying to stop the rule, just delay it.
"We don't want to emit these [pollutants], believe me. We've made progress," he told the newspaper. "Although it is a delay, and we're sorry to have to delay it, it will buy us more time. It will allow the industry and economy to recover."
Environmentalists: 'Huge Health Benefits'
Environmentalists say the cement industry has had plenty of time to make changes.
"Cement plants are a huge source of man-made mercury pollution and other toxic pollution in the U.S," said Emily Davis, a staff attorney at the National Resources Defense Council. "Cleaning up toxic air pollution after many years of delay will have huge health benefits for the American public."

Underclassmen All-America Lacrosse Classic
By Mike Grimala
TOWSON, Md. – The last thing anyone expects to see in an All-Star showcase is defense. The players have barely met, let alone practiced their rotations, and offensive highlights usually generate the most buzz.
Yet there was Class of 2009 midfielder Sarah Lloyd on Saturday, flying around the defensive end and willing the Baltimore underclassmen girls to an 18-11 victory over the New Jersey squad at the Under Armour All-American Classic. Lloyd didn't score a goal or register an assist, but her physical presence set the tone for the game.
"That's just my style," said Lloyd, a midfielder for Severna Park (Md.). "I don't like to see the other team score."
Archbishop Spalding (Md.) attack Danielle Kirk took home MVP honors with a three-goal, four-assist effort, but it was impossible to ignore the effect Lloyd's defense had on securing the win.
Lloyd entered the game as a substitute with the game tied, 1-1, near the four-minute mark of the first half. Over the next 25 minutes, New Jersey scored just three times, and Baltimore rolled into halftime with a 14-4 lead.
Her effort stood out most around the goal, as she used her physical style to frustrate New Jersey's top scorers. The 5-foot-8 Lloyd deflected passes, pushed opponents off their spots and won just about every ball in her area.
Evan O'Neill, New Jersey's leading scorer with six goals, was astounded by the intensity of the Baltimore defense.
"They were very aggressive," said O'Neill, a Class of 2009 attack from Northern Highlands (N.J.). "They got up into our face and it was hard to get around."
During one 12-minute stretch, in the first half, Baltimore outscored New Jersey, 8-0. Lloyd won two ground balls during that stretch, and she made an outstanding defensive play by knocking down a New Jersey pass in front of the net and muscling her mark off of the ball.
"We wanted to pressure them a lot," Lloyd said. "New Jersey has really good offensive players, but we wanted to get up on them and ride them, and for the most part it worked."
While Lloyd was helping the defense lock things down, Kirk used her outstanding speed to power the Baltimore offense. Kirk was able to consistently beat defenders to the middle and receive passes in position to finish.
And when Kirk had the ball on the outside, she was able to out-quick the New Jersey defense and get around the edge. Once she beat her defender, Kirk was able to find the open man, leading to her team-high four assists.
Molly Fernandez, a 2009 attacker from McDonogh (Baltimore, Md.), was also impressive, notching three goals. All of her tallies came in the first half, including a rocket with 0.6 seconds left that sent Baltimore into the half with a 14-4 lead.

New Jersey wins boys' underclassmen game
Philadelphia's late charge in the boys' underclassmen championship game came up short, thanks to some clutch scoring from MVP Ryan Foley. New Jersey coughed up a four-goal second-half lead, but Foley came up big with a pair of late goals to help the Jersey All-Stars clinch the win.
The Jersey boys took a 7-3 lead into the half, but Philly out-scored them, 3-0, in the third quarter to close the gap. When Conor Steidle (Class of 2010/Malvern Prep, Penn.) scored an unassisted goal six minutes into the fourth, the game was tied.
That's when Foley took over. With seven minutes to play, he took a pass from Michael Tobin (Class of 2009/Montclair, N.J.) in front of the crease and buried it into the upper corner to give New Jersey an 8-7 lead.
"I just tried to find an open spot," said Foley. "Mike got the ball to me with a great pass, and I threw it in."
Less than two minutes later, Foley gave New Jersey a little insurance by picking up a loose ball about 15 yards out and skipping it past Philly goalie Niko Amato (Class of 2009/Norristown, Penn.).
Philadelphia closed within a goal on a Joseph Sankey score with 2:45 to play, but Jersey attackman Scott Klimchak (Class of 2009/A.L. Johnson, N.J.) put the game away with a goal with 31 seconds on the clock.
"There's so much talent here in this game," Foley said after accepting his MVP award. "Every player on every team is an awesome competitor, so it means a lot to be able to contribute and be able to help our team come away with the win."

Seligmann stop saves the day
Ben Seligmann left his mark on the boys' underclassmen championship game, turning in a huge defensive play to help New Jersey preserve a late lead.
With Jersey ahead, 9-8, and less than a minute to play, Seligmann found himself on an island. Philadelphia attackman Peter Schwartz (Class of 2010/LaSalle College Prep, Penn.) was storming up the left side, and the only thing standing between him and a clean lane to the net was Seligmann.
The Class of 2010 long stickman from Delbarton (Essex Fells, N.J.) backpedaled, and when Schwartz made his cut about 20 yards from the goal, Seligmann beat him to the spot. Schwartz lost his balance and went down, allowing Seligmann to strip the ball away and send it downfield.
New Jersey ended up scoring on the possession to make it a 10-8 game, eventually holding on for the 10-9 win.
"He was coming down one-on-one, and he was clearly straight to the goal," Seligmann said. "I got in front of him and got lucky, really. Once he went down, I saw his stick and was able to knock it away perfectly and control it. It was the best-case scenario."
* * *
Top goalie stands out
Dan Wigrizer, the top-ranked goalie in the Class of 2009 by Inside Lacrosse, turned in an impressive performance in the boys' championship game. Under intense pressure throughout the first half, the wall from The Haverford School (Villanova, Penn.) allowed seven goals but also made seven saves, including a handful of spectacular stops.
"I feel like I could have played better," Wigrizer said. "When you lose by one goal, you think that one more save and it would have been a tie, and two more saves would have been a win. But considering the talent level of the New Jersey team, I guess I played pretty well."
* * *
Speed limit
Taylor Zebrowski showcased one of the strongest shots during the girls' underlclassmen game. The 2009 attack from Verona (N.J.) scored twice, and all three of her attempts drew "Oohs" from the crowd for their velocity.
Zebrowski finished the championship game with two goals and two assists.
* * *
Save machine
The box score might not reflect it, but Baltimore girls' goalie Megan Fiorito was one of the best players on the field. She played the second half of the championship game and allowed seven goals, but she had almost no chance on most of the shots.
Forced to stand on her head for 30 minutes, the Class of 2009 product from McDonogh (Phoenix, Md.) finished with eight saves.

recipe(s) for jujubes?
A friend is going to let me pick jujubes when they are ripe. I searched on jujube, Chinese date, and red date. But the only recipes I can find use dried or candied jujubes. Does anyone have information on how to dry them, how to candy them, or recipes for using them fresh. I hate to pass up the opportunity, but gee, what do I do with them? TIA.
Into the Woods.
I haven't made it, but found this recipe on SOAR

Most of the recipes I get from SOAR are very good, but once in a while, somebody makes a mistake and they don't
come out so good.
Hi Pepe,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my request for fresh jujube recipes.
Most of the recipes I found have, like yours, used dried jujubes. If I could find a recipe for drying the fresh ones I'd be happy.
I just don't know if it is worthwhile to pick the fresh ones to eat like a fruit or if it makes more sense to pass up the opportunity because they are better dried.
The lack of responses, other than yours, sort of makes me think that fresh jujubes are not very popular.
Jujube is one of my favorite fruits. Very medicinal but, yes, recipes are hard to find!. I found this one doing a google search. It sounds promising. Will be trying it for myself soon. Good Luck!
Research on the nutritional and culinary uses of jujube fruit, done in the Food Science section of Texas A&M's Horticultural Sciences Department in the 1940s by Dr. Homer Blackhurst, revealed a very high vitamin C content. Experiments where the seeds were removed and the fruit cooked with water, sugar, and seasonings resulted in a product much like apple butter, and in taste tests with apple butter it was selected as superior.
Here is one recipe taken from USDA publication B-1215 (date unknown) entitled "Methods of Utilizing the Chinese Jujube."
6 pints jujube pulp
5 pints sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 lemon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/4 pint vinegar
Boil fruit until tender in sufficient water to cover it. Rub cooked fruit through a sieve or colander to remove the skin and seeds. Cook slowly until thick, put in jars, and seal while hot.
Hi, Well from my experience you are right, Jujube's are usually utilized in dry form. I've never had any in recipes using them fresh. We use dried JuJube to make chinese chicken soup. We cook it with chicken, ginger, one green onion sprig and chinese mushrooms (dried). The Jujube is used in the soup to give it a slight sweetness and aroma but mostly used because they say its good for you (cant remember for what). Sorry couldnt be of more help with the fresh fruit recipes but I absolutely love them fresh and have even contemplated buying a jujube tree! Good luck!
well, it might be a bit late, but my advice would be to dry them like any other fruit ... i.e. slice, drain, place on flat area like cookie baking sheets, and dry at very low heat in the warming drawer of your oven, or a dehydrator, if you have one, or outside in the sun if you live in a warm dry sunny place ... but you mentioned high humidity so I suppose the warming drawer will be best.
If you search for "how to dry fruit" you will get good general tips, often from the USDA.
I posted this in another forum, but does anyone know much about growing Z.jijuba in zone 5(b)? I'm interested in trying if it'd be worth my time.
All information, advice, personal anecdotes, etc. will be gratefully received... thanks!

Here is a link that might be useful: Some basic info on jijube
FWIW, I planted 3 jujubes here in Kansas. Two were killed by the weather, but 4 years later the third is doing great! I get HUGE crops that have gotten bigger each summer. I still haven't quite figured out the best time to pick them and eat them, however. When they "look" best, they taste kind of like a low-grade apple. If I leave them until they shrivel up, which I've read is the appropriate thing to do, bugs really get after them.
At any rate, the lone survivor is an amazingly hardy tree having survived a lot of sub-zero winter days without any noticeable effects.
