Looking for other supination inserts?
I bought Pedag Correct Plus realizing it was a women's large, not a man's size 9-12. I think it is working to correct the supination on my right foot though, time will tell. Is there a plan to make a Pedag Correct Plus for men size 10? Thank you. (Posted on 5/12/2015)
I have a problem with my feet rolling out due to high arches. I have spent hundreds on orthotics which are now in the trash.
The first one was by a podiatrist-a rigid plastic torture device that made the issue worse as it had a high arch support that matched my own and prevented flexing of my foot and destabilized my gait even more. He told me I should have corrective surgery..
The second was by a pedorthist who made a custom sculpted foam insert that did have the correct pitch to stop the roll and virtually no arch support. But it was clunky, the foam under the metatarsals wore out quickly (it was great for a few months), and it would only fit in ONE pair of my shoes and, even then, made that shoe uncomfortable as it made the shoe too tight.
I found this Pedag Correct Plus which I bought to put in a second set of shoes. It was so much better I just use this under cheap thin foam inserts and replace them as as needed but the pedaq has been with me for about a year and I am VERY pleased and just came back to buy more. (Posted on 1/20/2015)
Pedag Correct Plus is little bit on the heavier side, but it's effective. I use them in my boots and my running shoes because they have more room and can afford to have these inserts. For my high heels and others that don't have enough room, I use the Pedag Correct Heel Inserts. They're pretty pricey for me because I don't like removing them from one shoes to another, so I just use one pair for each pair of shoes. Consequently, I need about 10 pairs of these, which gets costly. Nevertheless, they relieve pain, so I can't go without them. (Posted on 11/16/2014)
This orthopedic insole helps me to not roll out on my ankles. It keeps me more in alignment...thus relieving pressure on my lower back and sciatic.. (Posted on 11/30/2013)

SEOUL – South Korea saw Japanese visitors plunge in October-December to their lowest level in six quarters, Yonhap news agency said.
The drop reflected the won's appreciation against the yen, in addition to frayed bilateral ties over the disputed Sea of Japan islets known as Takeshima in Japan and Dokdo in South Korea.
Japanese visitors were estimated at 746,000 in the final quarter of 2012, down some 23 percent from the year before and about 22 percent from the previous quarter, Yonhap said Thursday, citing government data. It was the lowest since April-June 2011, after the Great East Japan Earthquake that March.

Mormon Channel
After Choice
Kathryn Soper opens her survey of LDS feminism with an entertaining anecdote from her college days, in which she and three classmates perform the diverse species of feminism with a campy panache not often encountered on the dreary expositional stage of a course on literary theory. The tale introduces the central observation of the piece, that Mormon "feminism is a conversation" between overlapping-but-distinct values and interests, and its central argument, that the rhetorical and social power of the conversational form can bring about fruitful cooperation among diverse parties.
I recently suggested that the conversational trope is central to a familiar progressive discourse, and Kathy's piece nicely illustrates why that vocabulary has been so successful: because it elegantly musters the pluralisms that organize the progressive worldview. With clarity and respect, the essay taxonomizes the varieties of Mormon feminism and sketches the tensions inherent in each. And Kathy offers both hope and realism in her vision of a faithful feminist future for the Church, beginning with, of course, a new conversation.
But the piece is more than a simple survey. It presents an amiable argument of its own, urging Latter-day Saints to embrace not the particular aims of the larger feminist movement, but what she calls its "ultimate gift: the opportunity for women to exercise their power of choice." Here, too, her opening anecdote is instructive. In its tableau of four brands of feminism, performed and displayed to aid the onlookers in choosing their preferred identities, we see a schematized version of the social reality Kathy envisions for LDS women. She describes an "expanded paradigm" of LDS womanhood, stripped of stereotype, in which individual women are free to choose their personae from among a wide variety of available models -- four, forty, or four-hundred. It is feminism, she suggests, that guarantees such a radical personal freedom for women.
Buried at the center of this argument is a startling theological claim. Kathy suggests that third-wave feminism's emphasis on "choice" -- that is, on legitimizing women's identities and behaviors primarily on the basis that they were freely chosen --supplies the social environment in which the Mormon conception of moral agency can be realized. Experience only brings moral growth when it is freely chosen from among an array of possible alternatives, including immoral alternatives; righteousness is located at the moment of executive free will. Thus: "[W]ithout the rights and freedoms afforded by feminism, Mormon women could not freely choose many of our most valued roles within and without the domestic sphere, and therefore could not merit the earthly and heavenly rewards of doing so."
Even leaving aside the perplexing implications of this claim for virtually every past generation of women, one is left with the strong claim that conditions of both personal autonomy and social permissiveness are necessary for moral behavior.
In defense of this idea, it must be noted that LDS notions of choice and moral agency do enjoy a certain pride of place, particularly in the Book of Mormon. Even a reading as robust and triumphalist as Kathy's can quite plausibly marshal support from texts like 2 Nephi 2. And I think Kathy is right to connect this strand of Mormon teaching with the aims of third-wave or "choice" feminism, inasmuch as she intends to make feminism palatable for a Mormon audience: an emphasis on choice, understood as autonomy and free will, does represent a site of genuine convergence for Mormon feminists.

text: Remember when Farrah Abraham said she made the sex tape with James Deen and hired a professional director because she wanted to be able to see herself and to enjoy the body she has now when she gets older? Yeah, that was just last week. Apparently though she forgot she said that because when Vivid released her video she Tweeted that she has no interest in watching the video and is done with it. Umm, yeah, ok. When you can't keep straight things you said the week before, then you know you lie too much. As for the video, it is definitely more than you would see from most celebrity sex tapes. Way more. I pretty much just fast forwarded through the whole thing. I say three more months, maybe a little longer before she is making another one.


text: Michael Jackson's This Is It, I, Robot, The Social Network - best films on TV tonight The infamous story of Facebook's origin is among our top film picks tonight Sunday 22 June Comments Written By Radio Times staff 12:01 AM, 22 June 2014 Michael Jackson's This Is It - 8pm, 5* Giving the ardent admirer everything they could wish for and the cynics much to ponder, this curiously bittersweet tribute to the late Michael Jackson is better and slicker than expected, especially considering its fast turnaround after his untimely death. Director, choreographer and friend Kenny Ortega (High School Musical) assembles a heartfelt celebration from over 100 hours of auditions, interviews and rehearsal footage taken from the "King of Pop's" preparations for his ill-fated London concert series. Nothing negative or scandalous is allowed to permeate this commemoration of one of pop culture's greatest entertainers. Instead the focus is on his creative genius, driven perfectionism (including some surprisingly waspish comments to his musical director) and catalogue of chart hits (Thriller, Beat It), and the fascinating way it was all being put together for his O2 Arena comeback. I, Robot - 9pm, Movie Mix Stories by sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov provide the inspiration for this futuristic action thriller set in Chicago in the year 2035 when robots have been fully integrated into society, occupying the positions of trusted servant and menial worker. Asimov's laws of robotics state that a robot may not allow a human to come to harm. When a top scientist from the US Robotics corporation turns up dead, Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) suspects the involvement of a prototype that may not be bound by the laws that govern its brethren. Smith gives a charismatic performance in a blockbuster that succeeds chiefly because of the use of CGI - the robots are seamlessly blended into the human environment. As a meditation on whether robots are capable of human emotions, this may not delve as deeply as AI: Artificial Intelligence or Blade Runner, but director Alex Proyas keeps the action racing along with enough invention and thrills to make this well worth the ride. The Social Network - 10:20pm, C4 The foundation of online phenomenon Facebook comes in for scrutiny in this fact-based drama, which turns the site's formative years into a morality tale for our times. Computer-science student Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg, giving a subtly commanding performance) is an unloved outsider at Harvard in 2003, but finds a way of circumventing the university's traditional elite by creating the networking technology that eventually makes him one of the world's youngest billionaires. Along the way, there's camaraderie, betrayal, class tension and much litigation: both his one-time best pal Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield, providing the conscience of the piece) and super-snooty rivals the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer, in a dual role) sue for their slice of an increasingly large pie. The dazzling wordplay from screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (TV's The West Wing) and David Fincher's intensely focused direction work in concert to favour character conflict over computer geekery, digging deep to elucidate the story's essential tensions between greed and loyalty, and online and real-world friendship. It's riveting stuff, not least when Justin Timberlake swaggers on as cocksure internet visionary Sean "Napster" Parker. Most significant though, is how this brilliantly assembled cautionary tale gets straight to the heart of the human needs and failings underpinning dizzying technological advancement, creating one of the truly defining films of its era.

I imagine it the second design because it has hard inner and outer casing. Didn't the first design have a soft inner lip?
Also the timing cover numbers matched the 98 deville block, didn't know if that meant anything. Thought I remember reading something about that somewhere.

Jet Airways reports $35 million loss in first quarter
Aug 11 2014 , New Delhi
The airline, 24 percent owned by Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways, has now reported six straight quarters of losses, as it grapples with high costs, low fares and fierce competition in its home market.
Last year Jet reported a 3.55-billion-rupee loss for its first quarter.
Despite fast-growing demand for air travel, all but one of India's largest four airlines are losing cash.
Jet Airways, which has not reported an annual profit since 2007, is betting on cost cuts and the launch of more international routes to return it to profitability by 2017.

Submitted to: Plant Disease
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 9/8/2010
Publication Date: 12/1/2010
Citation: Ibrahim I.K.A., Mokbel A.A., Handoo, Z.A. 2010. Current status of phytoparasitic nematodes and their host plants in Egypt. Nematropica. 40(2):239-262. Interpretive Summary: Plant-parasitic nematodes are microscopic worms that attack plant roots and cause an estimated ten billion dollars of crop loss each year in the United States and 100 billion dollars globally. One problem with determining the extent of nematode damage to crop plants is that the nematodes present in many areas are not known, such as in Egypt. Therefore, crop specialists routinely conduct field surveys looking for the presence of nematodes. In this survey report, scientists from ARS and Alexandria University in Egypt describe the discovery of 139 species of nematodes associated with crops, grasses and weeds in Egypt. The results are significant because they provide the first reports of several of these species on new host plants in Egypt. This report will serve as a useful guide to researchers in planning future research, identifying economically important nematode species, or determining which nematodes may be present in specific areas in Egypt.
Technical Abstract: In Egypt many phytoparasitic nematodes constitute a major constraint to agricultural production, especially in sandy soil and reclaimed desert lands. Nematological surveys were conducted to determine the genera and species of phytoparasitic nematodes on associated host plants in Egypt. The results indicate the occurrence of 50 genera and 139 species of phytoparasitic nematodes on crops, grasses and weeds. Several of these species are reported for the first time on new host plants in Egypt. About 20 species are of potential economic importance to crop plant production. Important phytoparasitic nematodes include species of the citrus (Tylenchulus), cyst (Heterodera), dagger (Xiphinema), lance (Hoplolaimus), lesion (Pratylenchus), rice-root (Hirschmanniella), ring (Criconema, Criconemoides, Mesocriconema), root-knot (Meloidogyne), spiral (Helicotylenchus) and stunt (Tylenchorhynchus) nematodes. Among these, Helicotylenchus and Meloidogyne were the most frequently encountered nematode genera, with 53 and 62.5% frequency of occurrence respectively.

The environment is everything around you, indoors or outdoors. The air you breathe, water you drink, the ground you walk on, and food you eat are all part of your environment. It's important that you know what things in the environment can affect your health and what you can do to help protect yourself and your family.
Chemicals and other substances in the environment can cause serious health problems in women, such as cancer, lung disease, or reproductive system problems. They can also make health conditions worse. Scientists are studying the ways toxins in the environment may play a role in conditions such as breast cancer, endometriosis, and menopause. This fact sheet offers information about these toxins and steps you can take to limit exposure.
Many types of environmental exposures are more harmful for children than for adults. There are many reasons for this:
Exposure to some toxic substances — including lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, pesticides, solvents, and household chemicals — can increase the risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, and other pregnancy complications. These and other environmental toxins can also harm the developing bodies of fetuses and infants. Women who are pregnant or nursing or who plan to become pregnant should take special care to avoid exposure to certain chemicals discussed here.
Pollutants in the environment can contribute to some illnesses that are more common in older adults. Indoor and outdoor air pollution can aggravate the symptoms of cardiovascular and lung diseases, including high blood pressure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma. These conditions are more common in women over the age of 50 than in men over 50.
Older adults may be more susceptible to the health effects of toxic chemicals. People who are exposed to pollutants over the course of a lifetime may have health problems when they are older. For instance, long-term exposure to pesticides may cause cancer or dementia.
Lead is a toxic metal that may be stored in bones. In postmenopausal women who were exposed to lead early in life, bone loss can release lead into the bloodstream. This may cause kidney damage, increase the risk of high blood pressure, and decrease cognitive functions.
There are many sources of pollution outdoors, such as:
Outdoor air pollution can cause your eyes and nose to burn, your throat to itch, and even breathing problems. Exposure to air pollutants at high levels over a long period of time may lead to cancer, birth defects, brain and nerve damage, and long-term injury to the lungs and breathing passages.
Air pollution affects everyone. Children are especially susceptible to the effects of air pollution because their lungs are developing. They also spend more time active outdoors. People with lung and heart diseases are also more sensitive to outdoor air pollution.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits on certain air pollutants throughout the United States. Ground-level ozone and particle pollution are two of the most common pollutants and pose the greatest threat to human health in the United States.
To find out about the level of outdoor air pollution in your community, you can check the daily Air Quality Index (AQI). The AQI is a measure of five pollutants: ozone (OH-zohn), particle pollution, sulfur dioxide (SUHL-fur deye-OKS-eyed), nitrogen oxide (NEYE-troh-jen OKS-eyed), and carbon monoxide (kar-bun moh-NOKS-eyed). Many newspaper, radio, and television weather forecasts also include the AQI. Learn more about the AQI, see color-coded air quality maps. Find your local AQI.
When the levels of air pollution are high, you can protect yourself and your family by limiting outdoor physical activity. This is because physical activity can cause you to take faster, deeper breaths, inhaling more pollutants into your lungs.
Ozone is a gas that is naturally found in earth's upper atmosphere, where it forms the ozone layer. The ozone layer blocks some of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. To learn more, see UV radiation below.
Ground-level ozone is ozone in the lower atmosphere, close to the Earth's surface. This is one of the main components of smog. Ground-level ozone is formed when sunlight and heat cause chemical reactions between nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are pollutants released by motor vehicles, factories and power plants, and chemicals such as paints and cleaners. Ground-level ozone is a pollutant that can harm the environment, crops, and human health.
High levels of ground-level ozone can make it difficult to breath deeply, cause coughing and throat irritation, and even damage the lining of your lungs. People with chronic lung conditions such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis may be more sensitive to the effects of ozone. Ozone can also have a greater impact on the health of children and adults who are physically active outdoors when ozone levels are high.
Particle pollution are tiny solid particles and liquid droplets in the air. This is also called particle matter or PM. These particles come from dust, fires, motor vehicles, power plants, and factories. Many types of particle pollution are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Particle pollution causes haze.
Exposure to particle pollution can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat. Inhaling these particles can cause coughing and wheezing, even if you are healthy. Long-term exposures to particle pollution can reduce lung function and lead to chronic bronchitis. High levels of particle pollution may aggravate symptoms of lung and heart diseases.
"Acid rain" is a term used to describe rain, snow, fog, dry gases, and particles containing acids. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released by power plants, cars and trucks, and other sources are the primary cause of acid rain. Acid rain harms plants, animals, fish, and building surfaces.
Acid rain does not directly affect human health. But the main components of acid rain — sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides — do. These gases contribute to particulate pollution, which can affect the heart and lungs. High levels of sulfur dioxide can aggravate lung and heart diseases. Nitrogen oxides increase levels of ground-level ozone, react with other chemicals to form toxins, and contribute to global warming.
Global warming is an increase in the Earth's average temperature. This increase can cause a variety of changes in local climates around the world, such as changes in rainfall patterns and a rise in sea level. It also triggers a wide range of changes in plants, wildlife, and human life.
"Greenhouse gases," including carbon dioxide and methane, trap the heat of the Earth. In the last 200 years, human activities — like burning fossil fuels — have increased the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This has caused average temperatures to rise. Temperatures are expected to continue to rise in the future.
Scientists predict that global warming may affect human health in many ways:
Motor vehicles and power plants that burn fossil fuels are major sources of air pollution. They also release greenhouse gases that lead to climate change. But there are many steps you can take to use less energy and reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases. Many of these steps can also save you money.
To learn more about:
Most people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors. Therefore, indoor air pollution is as great a concern as outdoor air pollution.
Sources of indoor air pollution include:
Indoor air pollution can cause immediate effects. It can irritate your eyes, nose and throat; cause headaches; and make you feel dizzy or tired. These symptoms may be mistaken for symptoms of a cold or flu, but if the symptoms disappear when you are away from home, they may signal an indoor air problem.
Indoor air pollution can also cause more serious health problems, such as heart and lung diseases and cancer. These problems may develop many years after you were exposed to the pollution or after years of repeated exposures.Some people are more sensitive to indoor air pollution than others are. As with outdoor air pollution, children, the elderly, and people with heart or lung conditions are more likely to be affected.
Stoves, heaters, fireplaces, and chimneys need to be vented correctly. If not, they can release dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particle pollution into your home. Fuel-burning appliances may also release formaldehyde (form-AL-duh-hyd) (see What are the health effects from exposure to VOCs?).
Carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide are colorless, odorless gases. Carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, or fatigue. Breathing air with high levels of carbon monoxide may cause you to lose consciousness and may be deadly. Nitrogen dioxide can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat, and make it difficult to breathe. Eventually, it may contribute to lung infections and diseases.
You can minimize the emissions from fuel-burning stoves and heaters.
Do not operate cars, trucks, lawn mowers, snow blowers, and other machines with gasoline-powered engines in enclosed spaces. These engines release carbon monoxide.
Installing a carbon monoxide detector can also help protect you and your family from this dangerous gas.
The smoke from burning tobacco products and the smoke exhaled by smokers are called secondhand smoke. These products include cigarettes, cigars, and pipes.
Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased risk of lung cancer. Children of parents who smoke are more likely to suffer from pneumonia, bronchitis, ear infections, asthma, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
To help protect yourself and your family from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke:
Uranium (yoor-AYN-ee-um) is a natural radioactive substance found in many types of rocks and soil. As uranium decays, it releases radon (ray-don). Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas. Small amounts of radon are present in outdoor air. High levels of radon can accumulate in enclosed spaces. Because radon comes out of the ground, it is more likely to accumulate in basements and the lower floors of buildings.
It is estimated that one out of every 15 homes in the United States may have high radon levels. Radon can enter any type of home through small gaps and cracks in walls and floors. In some areas, radon may also be present in groundwater.
Exposure to high levels of radon can cause lung cancer.
You can test the air in your home for radon. Hardware stores and other retailers sell many types of inexpensive radon test kits that allow you to test your home yourself. You can also hire a qualified radon testing professional. The EPA recommends that all homes should be tested below the third floor.
Two types of radon tests are available: short-term tests and long-term tests. Short-term tests provide results in less than 90 days. However, because radon levels may vary throughout the year, long-term tests, lasting more than 90 days, will give you a better idea of the average radon levels in your home year-round.
If a short-term test finds radon levels of 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/l) of air or higher, you should conduct a second test. You should fix your home to reduce radon levels if the second test is:
A qualified radon contractor can fix your home to reduce radon levels. Costs can range from $800 to $2,500. If radon levels are high in your indoor air and you have a private well, you should also have your water tested and treated if need be.
Your state radon office can provide information about radon in the ground and water in your area. They can also refer you to qualified radon testers and radon contractors. Find contact information for your state radon office.
Asbestos (ass-BESS-tohs) is a fiber that has been used in insulation and fireproofing materials. The EPA has banned many asbestos products. Many companies have also cut down on their use of asbestos. Today, asbestos is most often found in:
Asbestos fibers are released into the air when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed. The most dangerous asbestos fibers are too small to see.
After asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can remain in the lungs. Asbestos can cause:
These health problems may develop many years after exposure.
Asbestos should only be removed by trained professionals. Do not attempt to remove asbestos-containing materials yourself. If asbestos-containing materials are in good condition, it may be safest to leave them alone.
If you think your house may contain asbestos that has been disturbed, contact a trained contractor. A professional may recommend removing the materials or sealing them off to keep fibers out of the air. Call the EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act Hotline at (202) 554-1404 to find out if your state has a program to train and certify contractors who specialize in removing asbestos.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals. Many types of household products contain VOCs, including paints, paint strippers, adhesives, cleaners, pesticides, building materials, and office equipment.
VOCs may cause eyes, nose, and throat irritation; dizziness and nausea; and memory loss. Some VOCs are more toxic than others. Some of these chemicals can damage the liver, kidneys, or central nervous system or cause cancer. The health effects may depend on the amount and length of exposure.
Some common VOCs that can affect your health are listed below.
Biological pollutants include viruses, bacteria, animal dander, cockroach and rodent droppings, dust mites, mold, and mildew.
These pollutants are small enough to be inhaled and may trigger allergies, asthma, or flu-like symptoms.
Many biological pollutants grow well in warm, moist areas. You can reduce moisture in your home by using ventilation fans and dehumidifiers to keep indoor humidity between 30 and 50 percent. Regularly empty and clean evaporation trays in dehumidifiers, refrigerators, and air conditioners. If carpets or building materials become water damaged, they should be thoroughly cleaned and dried or removed to get rid of mold.
You can also reduce biological pollutants by regularly cleaning to remove dust, pet dander, and other allergens.
Some occupations and industries involve the use or production of chemicals or substances that may be toxic or hazardous to unprotected workers. Some workers may also carry dangerous substances home on their hands or clothes. To find information about health hazards in the workplace and what you can do to protect yourself from dangerous exposures, visit the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) website or call 800-321-6742.
"Sick building syndrome" describes a situation in which people spending time in a building experience a range of symptoms that they believe are related to that building. Poor indoor air quality may be the cause of these symptoms. But other factors such as lighting, noise, poorly designed workstations, and psychological and social factors may contribute to sick building syndrome.
Common indoor air pollutants (see Indoor air pollution) can affect air quality in the workplace, including biological contaminants such as mold and mildew and VOCs from cleaners, adhesives, office machines, furniture, or building materials.
Many office buildings built since the 1970s were designed to maximize energy efficiency by allowing very little outdoor air into the building through windows or ventilation systems. Poor ventilation and heat and air conditioning systems can lead to the buildup of Indoor air pollution.
Symptoms of sick building syndrome may include irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat; dizziness; nausea; headaches; or fatigue. In some cases, the symptoms may appear when you enter the building and go away after you leave. In other cases, the symptoms may continue after exposure.
If you think Indoor air pollution could be causing your health problems, report your concerns. Talk to the employee health nurse or safety officer on your job site. Also, talk with your doctor. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) can give you information on how to have your office tested. Call 800-35-NIOSH. You can also contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) at 800-321-OSHA (6742).
Sunlight contains ultraviolet (UV) rays, a type of radiation.
Too much exposure to UV radiation can damage your skin and may lead to skin cancer. Sunburns during childhood may increase your chances of developing the most severe form of skin cancer, melanoma, later in life. Overexposure to UV rays can also cause cataracts and weaken your immune system.
The ozone layer is a naturally occurring concentration of ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere. Unlike ground-level ozone, ozone in the upper atmosphere is not a pollutant and does not damage human health. The ozone layer protects us from harmful UV rays.
The use of synthetic ozone depleting substances (ODS) has reduced ozone levels in the upper atmosphere. These are chemicals that were once used in refrigeration, fire extinguishers, and aerosols. Because the ozone layer is thinner than it used to be, more UV rays reach the Earth's surface, leading to higher rates of skin cancer.
The United States and other countries are working to phase out the use of ODS. Thanks to these efforts, the ozone layer has not become thinner since 1998 and has started to recover. Because ODS can remain in the atmosphere for 50-100 years, scientist predict that ozone will not return to pre-1980 levels until the second half of the 21st century.
Car and home air conditioners and refrigerators may contain ODS. You can help protect the ozone layer by making sure these systems are in good repair and do not leak. Have them serviced by an EPA-certified technician who can recover and recycle the refrigerant. When purchasing new appliances, make sure the refrigerants are not ODS.
You can prevent overexposure to UV radiation.
The UV index is a forecast of UV levels in your area. The higher the number, the greater your risk of overexposure to UV radiation. You should take extra precautions to protect yourself and your family when UV levels are very high. Learn more about the index or find the UV forecast for your area.
Tap water, well water, and even bottled water may contain small amounts of contaminants such as:
As long as levels of these contaminants are low enough to meet EPA standards, your water is safe to drink. People with weakened immune systems from HIV/AIDS, chemotherapy, or organ transplants may be more sensitive to microbes. Microbes are small organisms such as parasites. Infants and children are also more vulnerable to microbes and other types of water contamination.
The EPA regulates contaminants in public water systems to make sure water is safe to drink. If you get your water from a public system, your water supplier is required to send you an annual report about the quality of your water. Find out if your water quality report is posted online.
If there is a problem with your drinking water, your water supplier is required to notify you by mail or through newspaper, radio, and television announcements. The supplier should tell you what steps to take to ensure your water is safe to drink.
The EPA does not regulate well water. If you get your water from a private well, you should have your water tested at least once a year. Find more information about how to make sure well water is safe.
If you are concerned about your water quality, talk to your doctor about whether you should take additional steps, such as:
Bottled water is required to meet the same standards as tap water. Both bottled water and tap water are safe to drink if they meet these standards. Bottled water is not necessarily safer than tap water, unless it has been specially treated to remove more contaminants.
If you have a weakened immune system and wish to drink bottled water instead of boiling or filtering your tap water, read bottled water labels or contact bottlers to find out how the water was treated. Look for water that has been treated in one of the following ways:
Many public water systems add fluoride to water to help prevent cavities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, water with 0.7–1.2 milligrams/Liter (mg/L) of fluoride is safe and effective.
Water may also contain natural fluoride. Some water sources contain more natural fluoride than others. Studies have shown that water with more than 2 mg/L of fluoride may pose health risks, including enamel fluorosis in children under the age of 8. This is staining and pitting of tooth enamel. Studies have also shown an increased risk of bone fractures in people who drink high-fluoride water all their lives.
Contact your water supplier to find out how much fluoride is in your water. Most bottled waters do not contain added fluoride.
In the past, lead was commonly used in products such as gasoline and paint. By the 1980s, the use of lead in consumer products was limited or banned in the United States. Today, some common sources of lead are:
Although the use of lead-based paints in toys was banned in the United States in 1978, other countries may still use paints that contain lead. Paint on imported toys and toys manufactured in the United States before 1978 may pose a risk to children. Lead is also used in some plastic toys. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issues recalls for toys that may expose children to lead. Visit Consumer Products Safety Commission website or call 800-638-2772 to find information about toys that have been recalled.
Lead is a toxic metal that can cause health effects in both adults and children. Infants and children under 6 years old are at the greatest risk of health problems due to lead poisoning. In children, lead can harm the brain and nervous system, causing learning problems and lowered intelligence quotients (IQs). Lead can also harm a developing fetus, so it is important for pregnant women to avoid lead exposure.
Adults exposed to lead may experience health effects such as reproductive problems, high blood pressure, artherosclerosis (ah-thuh-roh-skluh-ROH-suhss), muscle and joint pain, problems with memory or concentration, and decreased cognitive function. Lead is stored in the body in bone. Osteoporosis (oss-tee-oh-puh-RO-sis) causes bones to break down, releasing lead into the blood. After menopause, women are more likely to lose bone mass, increasing the risk of lead exposure. Women who were exposed to high levels of lead earlier in their lives are especially at risk.
Lead is dangerous when it is inhaled or ingested. When lead-based paint is disturbed or removed, it may release fine dust that is dangerous if inhaled. Small children have a high risk of lead exposure because they put so many things in their mouths. Children's lead levels are often highest at age 2.
Talk to your doctor about testing you or your children for lead. Children with blood lead levels higher than 10 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL) are considered to have excess lead exposure. However, studies have shown that lower blood lead levels can affect children's IQs and learning abilities. No level of lead is considered safe for children.
There are medicines that can reduce high levels of lead in the blood. But treatments cannot reverse damage caused by lead poisoning. This is why it is important to prevent exposure to lead.
You can have your home tested for lead. This is especially important if your home was built before 1978 and if the paint is flaking, chipping, or cracking. If lead-based paint is in good condition, it may not be hazardous. If you plan to remove lead paint or perform other renovations, hire a contractor specially trained to deal with lead paint. You should leave the house until renovations are completed and the house is cleaned to remove any lead dust. The National Lead Information Center at 800-424-LEAD (5323) can provide information about professionals in your area who are trained in lead testing and removal.
Lead may be present in the water service lines or plumbing of older homes. Contact your local health department to find out if you should be concerned about lead in your drinking water. Boiling water will not remove lead. However, you can take steps to reduce the amount of lead in your drinking water.
You can take other steps to prevent you or your children from being exposed to lead:
Mercury (MERK-yoor-ee) is a toxic metal found in many types of rock, including coal. When coal is burned, mercury is released into the air. Coal-fired power plants are a major source of mercury emissions in the United States. This mercury makes its way into lakes, rivers, and oceans, where microorganisms convert it into methylmercury (meth-ihl MERK-yoor-ee). Microorganisms are very small and can only be seen with a microscope. Fish eat these microorganisms, and the methylmercury becomes concentrated in the bodies of fish and shellfish. Eating fish and shellfish is the main way humans are exposed to this toxin.
Children, infants, and unborn babies are most sensitive to mercury. High levels can damage the developing nervous system. In both children and adults, high levels of mercury may affect the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and immune system.
Fish and shellfish contain protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients that have important health benefits. However, small amounts of mercury are found in most types of fish and shellfish. Different kinds of fish contain different amounts, depending on how long they live and what they eat. Choosing fish low in mercury can help you limit your mercury exposure. This is especially important for pregnant women and young children.
You can limit the amount of mercury consumed from fish. The EPA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend that women who may become pregnant, women who are pregnant or nursing, and young children follow these guidelines:
Pesticides (PESS-tih-syds) are chemicals used to kill pests such as insects, rodents, weeds, mold, and bacteria. Yet these chemicals can also cause health problems in people.
Health effects will depend on the type of pesticide, the amount of exposure, and the frequency of exposure. These health effects may include birth defects, nerve damage, and cancer. Health problems might not appear until many years after exposure.
Pesticides pose greater health risks for children than adults because children's organs are still developing, they eat more food relative to their body weight, and they are more likely to put contaminated objects in their mouths.
First, the EPA limits the amount of pesticides that may be used to grow food and may remain on food sold to consumers.
You can also take steps to limit your exposure to pesticides from food.
It is important to use care when using pesticides in and around your home.
You can also reduce your pesticide use by preventing pest infestations and controlling pests with methods other than pesticides.
If you hire a pest control company, make sure they inspect your home, let you know which chemicals they will use, and address your safety concerns before you sign a contract.
Environmental hormones are also called endocrine disruptors. These are chemicals that can act like or interfere with natural hormones in the human body.
These chemicals can reduce fertility. They may also play a role in the development of cancers and reproductive disorders like endometriosis. In infants and fetuses, environmental hormones can also affect the developing reproductive and nervous systems and organs.
Some common environmental hormones known to affect human health are:
Researchers are studying the health effects of known and suspected environmental hormones. They are developing ways to prevent too much exposure to these chemicals. The following steps may reduce your exposure to environmental hormones:

I love this season's romper, but I have yet to venture into that territory because I'm afraid of the juvenile associations it conjures (the name "romper" alone makes me think of apple juice, animal crackers, and 2pm naptime—ah, if only!). But Rihanna was out in L.A. wearing one yesterday and looking anything but childish. How did she pull it off?
I think she nails three important details here:
What do you guys think of her look?

Pet Photography Services
Wedding Photography
A wedding is one of the most important days anyone will ever experience, and it is also a reasonable time to book the services of wedding photographer Adelaide. Only someone with extensive experience on a camera is able to provide the aesthetic quality to properly capture this momentous event. The bride has probably dreamed of this day her whole life, and the culmination of years of dreaming transpires in just a few short hours.
Even if the couple is working on a tight budget, they should never skimp on quality photography. Someone skilled in wedding photography will be able to find ordinary scenes and make them extraordinary by paying close attention to detail. It is important to find a photographer who has experience. They have likely made mistakes in the past that have enabled them to learn how to make the most out of every shot they take. As a result of planning accordingly for the wedding photos, the couple will be rewarded with pictures that they would have never thought possible. This big day only comes once, and capturing the images to share with others is one of the most important aspects of the event.
Pet Photography
Animals provide a unique sense of companionship that owners will remember for a lifetime. Unfortunately, animal lifespans, in most cases, do not stretch as far as humans. There is a great way to remember a pet by considering pet photography. While it may be simple enough to take a snapshot of a pet, it takes planning to get that great photograph that features the personality of the animal.
The first step is to consider dog training Adelaide. Animals cannot speak our language; however, there are ways to communicate with them, and it takes the skill of a dog obedience training Adelaide professional to get the job done. They have dog training techniques that have proven successful in cuing an animal to do certain things. Imagine having a shot where the pet is posed in the exact position it does when it normally shares intimate moments. Dog obedience training in Australia is a great investment, and it can help provide lasting memories.
Adelaide dog training can also help in pet photography in that it can shorten the process significantly. When the animal has been through dog obedience training Adelaide, they are better able to understand what is being asked of them. Not only does this save time, but it can save money on the photo shoot. The investment in dog training Australia is beneficial in more ways than one.
Family Photography
Family is precious, and the investment in a family portrait is one that will pay itself off for years to come. Children grow up very quickly, and capturing those moments when they are still young provides a way to remember the old days. It is also a way to ensure that future generations will get the joyful experience of seeing their parents when they were young.
Family photography should not be a one-time event. Following up every few years provides a unique timeline to compare the changes each member of the family has gone through over the years. Best of all, when a member of the family does eventually pass on, these photos provide lasting comfort for those left behind.

Covered Bridges of Chittenden CountryMonday, April 18th, 2016
I did a modified version of a local covered bridge loop here near Burlington, opting to park near the bridges and eliminate most of the busy pavement back and forth from home. ~26 miles, lots of dirt, and the longest ride I've done on any bike since… last fall?
The Roscoe (Sequin) Covered Bridge:
I ventured underneath to get a peak at the structure:
The Lewis Creek (Quinlan) Covered Bridge:
I saw quite a few folks fly fishing:
Holmes Creek Covered Bridge:
Sunday DirtTuesday, September 1st, 2015
Riding the bike with the gear of one on the track of single is starting to pay off. Did a short ride on the go fast bike this weekend – pavement our of Richmond then up Wes White Hill and Pond Rd. looping to Mayo and Dugway before enjoying post ride coffee and fritter at the Parkside Kitchen. ~16 or so miles, but I worked them hard to test the legs on Wes White and the follow on up Mayo.
Its been a long while since I felt this good climbing… Wes White peaks out at 14%, and while the steepest parts are in the first mile, it carries on for another mile before settling down at the pond. Much more work to do, but I'm glad I re-discovered the Krampus as a single speed rig, its starting to pay off with my overall fitness.
Moosamaloo OvernightWednesday, June 10th, 2015
I snuck out on the IF for an overnight last weekend. Burlington to Shelburne and Charlotte on Spear, then dropping down to Vergennes and off to Middlebury on the backside route, staying to pavement most of the way down to Middlebury then up to Moosamaloo. Return route included Steam Mill and Natural Turnpike and some new (to me) dirt roads near Monkton.
I had a late lunch in Middlebury and then connected the TAM to skip some busy roads, only to find a construction detour that put me right back on Rt. 7 south out of town. In East Middlebury I hunted for a decent beer at the gas station / convenience store but nothing sounded good – so I topped off on a snack or two and water and headed up up up VT 125. The climb up 125 took forever. I was pretty cooked from the ride, and I walked the first steep pitch just out of town, pushing the bike uphill until I reached a pull off where I collected myself, hydrated, and then pushed on for camp.
At FR32, Goshen Ripton Rd. I turned onto dirt. This was about ~52 miles into my ride, and I found myself off the bike and pushing for a stretch to give the quads and lungs a break. FR32 is one of my move favorite places to get to on a bike.
My plan was to arrive around dinner time, setup camp, then make dinner while shooting a time-lapse sunset from the Voter Brook Overlook. I pulled into the Moosamaloo Campground at about 6:30, found an open site, dropped some $$ into the deposit box, and setup my Tarptent Moment.

The Voter Brook Overlook is a 5 minute ride further down the access road. It was a bit underwhelming with regards to getting a good sunset time-lapse – but I tried out the GoPro and made dinner.
After dinner I rolled back to camp, did some bike and gear adjustments, bear bagged my food and kitchen, and planned to turn in for the night. After I played with the long exposure settings on my Canon G12.
Morning found me up early, with the other campers still sound asleep. I made breakfast and broke camp, and headed for Steam Mill and Natural turnpike, 2 of my other favorite places to be in VT on a bicycle. Both of these roads are up up up… so I started the day with a good deal of climbing.
I stopped at the Robert Frost trail to adjust some clothing, and take advantage of the restrooms at the trailhead, from there I found Steam Mill Rd.
From high up on the Natural Turnpike I dropped into Lincoln, then Bristol for an early lunch / second breakfast at the Bristol Cafe and Bakery. A large group of GMBC cyclists congregated while I was enjoying my food. They were on a Sunday 'touring' ride. I chatted with a few before they left, then rolled out myself for home.
I picked a few new roads on the run back from Bristol… and the route pretty much did me in. I struggled from Monkton to home, but the roads I did choose are sure to be additions to future routes… especially if I route them to be downhill. Piney Woods Rd. is a lovely lane and a half (at most) of dirt… and it is steep as it follows the creek. Plank Rd., North Rd., Parks-Hurburt Rd. and Old Stage Rd. are also nice alternative routes (dirt) for going north / south and connecting into Bristol from Chittenden County.
From Monkton I followed familiar roads back into town, struggling with the heat, and feeling a bit dehydrated. I returned home about 30 hours after I left.

Fall Classic – PhotodumpWednesday, January 15th, 2014
Enjoyed the 2013, and likely last* (for awhile) VT Fall Classic Brevet and Populaire. I rode the Populaire, with Greg. Felt great at the start, ended up coughing up blood and struggling by the end. Finished with a couple minutes to spare.
*I'm burned out from being brevet organizer… so I'm taking some time off. There is movement to continue with some of the VT rides, and I'll post up any solid information as soon as I hear something.
Jay PeakSunday, July 7th, 2013
Jen wandered into my office last week and said 'We're going to Jay Peak, I found a cottage to rent, water park tickets included. Pack your bike.'
We rented a slopeside / golf course side cottage for 2 nights at the main ski area. Played at the waterpark and ate way too much resort food. Jen got in a trail run, I got in a punishing bike ride.
I rode down from the lodge on VT 242, caught VT 101 and VT 100, and then picked up some side roads to intercept VT 58 and pass through Hazen's Notch. I left early and had no luck on a Saturday morning finding an open cafe and coffee. I barely managed to make it back after ~38 miles on 2 water bottles and 3 clif bars. I bonked hard climbing the 7 miles up VT 242 from Montgomery.
It felt great to be out on the dirt, exploring a new (to me) area. Lots of cool roads in the NEK to explore… so I'll have to get back. The bike and my legs felt off all day. I certainly don't climb like a used to – the long dirt climb back to the cottage was pretty rough. Nothing in the tank, and my legs felt flat.
Sunday DirtSunday, January 13th, 2013
Been a long time since I have written those words. Dirty ride with Greg in Middlesex, VT. Mountain bikes, with studs. Dirt roads, some trail. Ice, mud, snow, hike a bike, slop on the way down when the temps warmed up. Just under 18 miles, with a claimed climbing of ~2750′ according to the online maps. Will have to run it through TopoFusion later. Pretty amazing scenery, and a convenient place for the two of us to meet at the Red Hen Bakery.
Some thoughts from the ride: I started keeping my kit 'ready to go' – so I'd always have the same things at the ready. While this has been working – I looked at the sky, at the road, and the temps as we were suiting up in the parking lot and decided to leave the camera in the car. I also figured we'd get up the first few climbs and decide to bomb back down – so I left extra calories with my kit bag. The first rule of bike club is: always take the larger camera. The second rule of bike club is: always take some extra food. The third rule of bike club is: always take the same kit, repeat and modify as needed.
I did the entire ride on some licorice and my coffee and bagel from an hour before. Yes, we did less than 18 miles, but I was feeling it at the end.

The Failed War On Drugs
It's hard some times for policy makers to admit when a program has failed, but now is that time. Reading Derek's post on legalizing marijuana as a way to solve the budget crisis convinced me to look up the 'War on Drugs'. One look at the statistics for drug use in America and this failure should become immediately obvious. The War On Drugs has been a failure because it has failed to reduce drug use in America, has created a large vibrant criminal industry, costs the tax payers far more than ever imagined, and most of the 'criminals' we've caught are guilty of nothing more than Marijuana use.
The incidence of illicit drug use has stagnated or increased for nearly all population groups over the last few decades. You would assume then that we would see the results of this increased drug use in some measurable way. However, research shows that more people will die from adverse reactions to prescription medication than will die from illicit drug use. OK, perhaps these drug users aren't dieing but they aren't successful are they? Well yes, drug users can be successfull. However, much like alcohol users, the effect these drugs have can vary wildly person to person. We let alcohol users, who are responsible for more deaths per year than illicit drug users, decide if and how much they should drink. Why not apply the same rules to drugs as are applied to alcohol?
What about drug culture?
Some people may want to point out the cultures that have grow up around the use, manufacture, and distribution of illicit drugs as being a public nuisance and something worth getting rid of. We need only look to the Prohibition Movement in the U.S. as an example of how to solve these culture problems. During prohibition the U.S. saw a marked rise in racketeering, a vibrant black market for alcohol, and the rise of a number of violent criminal organizations. When prohibition was repealed the black market for these good's dried up almost immediately because criminals could not make alcohol cheap enough, high quality enough, or in large enough quantities to compete with legitimate businesses. Not to mention the value of the increased tax revenue the repeal of prohibition generated.
It costs how much?
Take a look at the Drug War Clock … 6 Billion Dollars PLUS has already been spent on the war on drugs this year. The question is, "Is there something else tax payers would be better off spending nearly 40 Billion dollars a year on?".
The possibilities are endless…
The short answer is OF COURSE! We've talked before about Barak Obama's New Deal style Stimulus Package and we've pointed out that while we may support some of these projects he has proposed, as a country we simply don't have the funds for these projects. Wouldn't it be great to see some of this money taken from this "War on Drugs" and instead directed into these proposed public works projects that will actually have sustained lasting value.
Perhaps we could spend more money on stopping real crimes that hurt other citizens? For instance, more than half of all violent crimes go unsolved and past drug arrest statistics show that our law enforcement agencies will imprison approx. 2 million people for drug related crimes this year, nearly a million of which will be for marijuana related crimes. If I were allowed to choose between 5 violent criminals on the street or 100 pot heads in my neighborhood I'd take the potheads every time.
Lets not forget, that no matter what we do with the money we will be saving far more than just the amount of money spent directly on the "War On Drugs" every year. We also get to reclaim most of the 6 billion dollars spent to imprison drug related criminals.
Why aren't lawmakers changing these laws?
According to a survey in 2008 75% of citizens believe the war on drugs is failing. Unfortunately, 75% of those believe the way to begin 'winning' the war on drugs is to treat users, educate youth, stop illegal importation of drugs, etc. It's clear, voters know the war on drugs is failing but they are still disillusioned enough to believe this is a war that we can, and need to, win. As long as the voters are of blind to the failure and allow their own distaste for drug use to get in the way of rational thinking our lawmakers have no reason to stop dumping money into this black hole.

A crazy thunder clap. The mics I was using at the time didn't capture this very well. The recorder's gain levels were not set in anticipation of a thunder clap so epic and devastating. The dogs didn't like it either...
Nearly blew my headphones off... Just what I needed!
Great! Exactly what I was searching for. :)
good, loud clap

Decking the Offices
Year after year, city office workers find themselves surrounded by 20-foot trees, gigantic wreaths and over-size candy canes bedecking their usually drab buildings.
The yule tide that washes over Manhattan's office canyons isn't just done on the whim of festive landlords. The décor is actually big business for the decorating companies that plan it months in advance.

Those grown children had, almost all of them, bent their heads over whatever work she gave them, even though their bodies were awkward and restless with the onset of adulthood, fate creeping through their veins and glands and follicles like a subtle poison, making them images of their parents and strangers to themselves. There was humor in it of a kind that might raise questions about the humorist.

Ginnifer Goodwin: 2010 People's Choice Awards
Big Love's Ginnifer Goodwin arrived at the 2010 People's Choice Awards in one of my favorite looks of the night. The nominee was all a-blossom in a delightful one-shoulder mini, complete with a few big big BIG flowers. Love the ruching. Love the stripes. Love the length. Hurrah Goodwin! It was a good year for the "Breakout Actress" nominee. She stars in HBO's Big Love, aggravated the s*it out of me in He's Just Not That Into You, and even got to work with newly-minted director, Tom Ford, in A Single Man.
Back to the dress. Love it. Even love the dishy gentleman-caller escorting you to said event (Joey Kern). Maybe consider growing the hair long.

Chott Melrhir (Arabic: شط ملغيغ) also known as Chott Melghir or Chott Melhir is an endorheic salt lake in northeastern Algeria. It the westernmost part of a series of depressions, which extend from the Gulf of Gabès into the Sahara. They were created between Miocene and Early Pleistocene as a result of compression accompanying the formation of the Atlas Mountains.[4] With the maximum area of about 6,700 km2 (2,600 sq mi), Chott Melrhir is the largest lake in Algeria.[3] It lies almost entirely below the sea level and contains the lowest point in Algeria, −40 meters (−130 feet).[5] Its size varies over the year and is usually larger than 130 km (81 mi) from east to west.[6] The nearby cities are Biskra (60 km north-east), El Oued and Touggourt (85 km south).[7]
Hydrology, geology and geography[edit]
During the rain season in winter, the lake is filled by numerous wadi (periodically drying rivers), mostly from north and north-west. The largest of them are the Djedi and Arab[2][8] running from west to east down the slopes of Aurès Mountains.[9] Others include Abiod, Beggour Mitta, Biskra, Bir Az Atrous, Cheria, Demmed, Dermoun, Derradj, Djedeida, Djemorah, Halail, Horchane, Ittel, Mechra, Melh, Mzi, Messad, Oum El Ksob, Soukies, Tadmit and Zeribet.[1][10] In summer, the lake and most the rivers feeding it dry out, and Chott Melrhir turns into a salt pan.[3][11] The annual water evaporation varies between 9.6 and 20 km3, and evaporation from soil nearby the lake can reach 14 km3.[2]
Chott Melrhir is separated from the nearby Chott Meorouane, which lies south-west, by a stripe of permanently dry land which can be as narrow as 4 kilometers in some places.[7] The bottom of the lake is mostly composed of gypsum and mud and is covered in salt in summer. The lake emits a garlic-like odor.[12] Although the dry soil in and around the lake appears arable, it is nearly barren due to the high concentration of salt. For the same reason, the soil absorbs much condensation overnight that keeps it partly humid during much of the day.[13]
The climate in the Chott Melrhir is hot and arid with high evaporation and low precipitation. The average lowest and highest temperatures are 11.4 and 34.2 °C, respectively, and the minimum temperature is about 0 °C. Annual precipitation is below 160 mm. The winds have a speed between 2.7 and 5.3 m/s and are mostly directed south-east between June and September and north-west between autumn and early spring. Sandstorms are more frequent in winter and late summer and last 39 days per year on average.[1][2]
Flora and fauna[edit]
The shallow waters of the lake contain scarce vegetation composed of 72 species of plants which have adapted to salty water, such as Parish's glasswort (Arthrocnemum subterminale), sea lavender (Limonium), rushes (Juncus), glasswort (Salicornia), Sarcocornia, bulrush (Scirpus) and seepweeds (Suaeda). Some species are unique for Algeria and 14 are endemic, such as Fagonia microphylla, Oudneya africana, Zygophyllum cornutum, Limoniastrum feii and Ammosperma cinerea.[2] They grown up to 30 cm in height and host relatively rich avifauna, mostly ducks, sandgrouse, houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata) and greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus).[7][14] Lake waters are saturated with salt with concentrations reaching 0.4 kg/L[2] and sustain only few animal species, such as brine shrimp.[15] Wild boars, golden jackals, hares and foxes were observed around the lake.[2] In June 2003, Chott Melrhir was included to the List of Ramsar wetlands of international importance.[16]

I had my teeth whitened a few years ago and they are still pretty white. I don't drink coffee, tea, or any other beverages that can stain the teeth and if I do have something I always have a piece of the gum with Xylitol in it since it is supposed to clean your teeth right afterwards.
The procedure made my teeth extremely sensitive afterwards and I didn't really eat for a couple of days.
Overall, it is worth it but also important to watch what you eat in terms of color and have gum or brush right after you eat something that may stain your teeth if you want the effects to last. Yeah, kinda a pain

Our cuz Angel Morgan's page is now going to his owner, who is
our hucousin and he has now a young husky sister who needs some
friends. Come show her some love!
Me and Zak had a good howloween! Loads of candies, food, and
kids! I think I'm becoming a toy to those kids now, BOL!
It's my 4th birthday!! And a good birthday I see. But that's not the
problem. Me and Zak's Labrador cousin Morgan died this morning
at 9:00 am. We are at a loss for words today and oh how both of us
and the hu-family miss him. So much. He finally got his wings after
he fought a sickness and lost. Run free, cousin Morgan, no more
sickness, no more pain. You will sorely be missed....
I finally got the writer's block. Hee-hee, not that I'm proud of it. But, I did
read some pawsome diaries. My fave is my good pal Dante (go see him, he's
an awesome Husky).
He keeps me a laughin' with his daily hijinks with his cat brother.
Our cat thinks he's too good to play with us......oh well, he doesn't know what
he's missin.
But me and Zak were mostly on vacation with mommy. And then there's
school finals with mommy so she's rather booked. This is why I hate
school. And glad that I can't go too.
Thank DOG for being a dog.
