I am happy for you that you have an honest builder. I do know that every
once in a while, a worker can do everything the right way, and something
still goes wrong.
You are asking some really hard questions, I must say. For example, I have
not worked with Glitza in years. It is an extremely durable finish, but
really nasty to work with. Does it emit vapours when it is cured and dry?
I am not a chemist and have no idea. This question falls into the same
category as some bamboo flooring that uses a urea femeldahyde adhesive.
They don't all use such an adhesive. One company in Toronto markets bamboo
floors that use this adhesive. From what I have learned so far, it seems it
does emit such vapours, but according to the government of Canada is within
acceptable limits. I don't know what that means, and I don't know if I can
trust it. Glitza also contains urea femeldahyde.
On coating over top of it with another product, I would suggest you contact
the manufacturer. You may also try a test patch in a corner. Abrading the
surface coat is always a must to ensure adhesion. So, buff a small spot and
apply a finish of choice. Give it a day or 2 and see if it is going to peel
off, or if you have achieved a bond.
Dura Seal (Min Wax Corp.) sells wood putty in jars which are colour matched.
This may be your answer to the few spots that have large gaps. I doubt the
gaps larger than a dime will close over. Give it a month to see.
The one thing I am sure about is that such shrinkage is due to moisture
instability in the wood planks. Whether that resulted at the factory,
warehouse or job site, I don't know. It has been a long winter this year.
The furnace has been blowing in my house since November, when we first got
snow, that has remained until now. Last year, I installed a birch floor in
my kitchen. I have a few gaps appearing, but nothing like what you
describe. I have no humidifier attached to my furnace. I also have noticed
a few small gaps in my existing oak strip floors that have been down 70
years. If such gaps were not there on installation but developed later, it
is always environmental.
I don't know that I have helped much in this. I would suggest that you give
the floors a month to adapt to suggested environmental recommendations (45 %
relative humidity). After that you can use a floor putty such as I
suggested or have the floors refinished.

TRP Operator
New additon to the safe.:supergrin:
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...c/DSC02345.jpg |
Nice, congrats!
Sweet,....TRP Operators always raise my blood pressure!
Congrats! :thumbsup: |
Very nice, I've seen those go for big money almost a cult following. When did they stop making them with the full rail. I never could understand the adjustable sight though.
You can still get the full rail.
I guess the adjustable sights are a plus for some and a negative with others..it doesn't bother me (yet),,I did replace the front sight with a Dawson Precision Fiber Optic(orange). I couldn't pick up on the front sight for squat |
:drool: :wow: :drool: Me want
heavyweapons rock. |
Congrats! Great gun.
Springfield TRP Operator
You can still get them the way you can still get a Royal Blued Colt Python, but the full rail TRP Operator hasn't been manufactured for a few years now. Something a little different with rear adjustable sights on the TRP Op is they are set further forward to be less snag prone. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...1/Sep08003.jpg |

Demand for outpatient facilities is likely to rise, according to speakers at BOMA's healthcare conference.
This year's healthcare reform legislation will have wide-ranging implications for commercial real estate, experts agreed at BOMA's recent healthcare conference in Dallas.
Demand is likely to rise for outpatient facilities, such as medical office buildings and ambulatory care centers. As Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements shift to a pay-for-quality model and away from pay-for-volume, the way doctors use space and how much they can pay in rent will change too, according to speakers from top hospitals and healthcare organizations.
Regulatory compliance and hospital monetization were also major themes in light of the steep fines for non-compliance imposed by the Affordable Care Act. This will lead to increasing use of third-party developers and professional property managers, as will laws regulating physician self-referral under Medicare and Medicaid, speakers said.

Defense Logistics:
The Department of Defense's Report on Strategic Seaports Addressed All Congressionally Directed Elements
GAO-13-511R: Published: May 13, 2013. Publicly Released: May 13, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5257
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In the conference report accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Congress directed DOD to provide an updated report on strategic seaport facilities used for military purposes, specifying that DOD must include (1) an assessment of the structural integrity and deficiencies of the port facilities and determination of the infrastructure improvements needed to directly or indirectly meet national security and readiness requirements; (2) an assessment of the impact on operational readiness if the improvements are not undertaken; (3) an identification of potential funding sources for the needed improvements from existing authorities; and (4) an opinion as to whether DOD has the necessary authority to support section 50302 of Title 46 of the United States Code. DOD issued that report in January 2013. In summary, we found that DOD addressed all four of the elements directed by Congress, as follows:
- First, DOD provided a detailed assessment of the structural integrity and deficiencies of the port facilities and the infrastructure improvements needed to meet national security requirements, providing both an explanation of its assessment and supporting data in its response. The report rated 15 of the 22 strategic seaports as having minor deficiencies, with negligible impact; 4 as having some deficiencies, with limited impact; 1 as having significant deficiencies that impair the capability to support required missions; and 2 as having major deficiencies presenting significant obstacles to mission accomplishment. We found some areas where the report could have been more explicit, such as citing the sources of cost estimates for port improvement projects and defining "national security and readiness requirements." We also note that the report relied on self-reported information from the ports. DOD officials told us that they believe the information is reliable because it is in the ports' interests to correct any deficiencies in order to support their commercial activities, and because DOD conducts periodic visits that serve as a visual check of port infrastructure conditions.
- Second, DOD included an assessment of the impact on operational readiness if the improvements were not undertaken. The report noted that available alternatives to strategic ports include alternate seaports.
- Third, DOD included an identification of potential funding sources for the needed improvements from existing authorities. The report identified and discussed six primary sources of capital for U.S. commercial ports, and noted that military ports rely on military construction appropriations for large projects.
- Finally, the report included an opinion as to whether DOD has the necessary authority to support section 50302 of Title 46 of the United States Code. The report stated that DOD has the necessary authority, but also recommended that Congress consider amending the law to allow U.S. Transportation Command to coordinate directly with the Secretary of Transportation on port development issues.
Why GAO Did This Study
Over the past several years Congress has directed that a number of studies be conducted to ensure the readiness of the strategic seaports. Both the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 and the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2012 required GAO to conduct a sufficiency review of DOD's most recent report, and to report our findings to Congress within 90 days of receiving DOD's strategic seaports report. DOD's report was provided to Congress on January 7, 2013, and GAO received the report on January 9, 2013.

TT9 Interview with author Terry Stanfill |
Author of Realms of Gold: Ritual to Romance
Terry Stanfill's novel centers around the Krater of Vix, a massive 450 gallon bronze vessel discovered in the Burgundy region of France in 1952. Nearby, a 2500-year-old tomb of what is thought to be a Celtic princess is also discovered and the mystery of these two discoveries intertwines in a global adventure for the protagonist, Bianca Fiore. The tale combines scintillating mystery with budding romance as the mystery of the princess and the urn are unraveled.
Ms. Stanfill is an expert on Italy, art and antiquities, and all of these disciplines, plus a health dose of intrigue and adventure, make Realms of Gold a fascinating, satisfying read. Join Larry and co-host Dave Dufour as they interview this most interesting guest.

Investigating the Structure of Paramagnetic Aggregates from Colloidal Emulsions - 3 (InSPACE-3) - 09.17.14
ISS Science for Everyone
Science Objectives for Everyone
Investigating the Structure of Paramagnetic Aggregates from Colloidal Emulsions - 3 (InSPACE-3) studies magnetic colloidal mixtures under the influence of various magnetic fields. A magnetic colloidal fluid, a type of smart fluid, contains materials which solidify within the liquid when a magnetic field is applied to it, thus changing the physical properties of the liquid as a whole. Conducting these experiments on board the International Space Station (ISS) allows scientists to examine in detail the network and arrangement of the 'frozen' solid structures unaffected by the force of gravity which can deform them on Earth.

Previous ISS Missions
InSPACE, the precursor to InSPACE-2 was performed on ISS Expeditions 6, 7, 12 and 13.
Experiment Description
Research Overview
- InSPACE-3 studies the fundamental behavior of magnetic colloidal fluids under the influence of various magnetic fields. Observations of the microscopic structures yields a better understanding of the interplay of magnetic, surface, repulsion forces, and particle shape between particles in magnetically responsive fluids.
- These fluids are classified as smart materials which transition to a solid-like state by the formation and cross-linking of microstructures in the presence of a magnetic field. On Earth, these materials are used for vibration damping systems that can be turned on or off.
- This technology has promise to improve the ability to design structures, such as bridges and buildings, to better withstand earthquake forces.
The use of external fields to control the microstructure of colloidal suspensions has long been recognized as a powerful means for tailoring the mechanical, optical and electronic properties of materials. Magnetorheological (MR) suspensions, in particular, provide a striking example. These normally stable fluids undergo a dynamic transition to a solid within milliseconds after the application of an external magnetic field. They are also important models for developing methods of bottom-up fabrication of micro- and nano-structured materials and devices using field-directed self-assembly.
Investigating the Structure of Paramagnetic Aggregates from Colloidal Emulsions-2 (InSPACE-2) experiments focused on the structure of magnetically-polarizable particle suspensions over long times in steady (DC) and pulsed magnetic fields. In pulsed fields especially, the long-time kinetics of the suspension micro-structural coarsening provided new and important results. The InSPACE-2 experiments were the first to yield information on the full, three-dimensional aggregation process over timescales much longer than those that are accessible on the ground, which are limited by catastrophic sedimentation. Furthermore, the experiments identified a novel and intriguing dynamic instability in which the suspension microstructures were observed to buckle at specific field frequencies and field strengths. For InSPACE-3, we will investigate the effect of particle shape on the micro-structural evolution of MR suspensions. Recent ground-based experiments demonstrate a startling effect that particle shape has on the interactions of dipolar chains and the resulting suspension microstructure. Specifically, we will investigate suspensions of paramagnetic ellipsoid-shaped particles. In combination with the results of InSPACE-2, we hypothesize that particle shape will dramatically alter the aggregation kinetics, microstructures and microscopic mechanics. This will potentially lead to the ability to engineer enhanced properties of these suspensions, including suppression of the lateral aggregation in magnetorheological fluid-based electromechanical devices or the ability to create new colloidal materials through field-directed self-assembly.
Space Applications
The quick phase-shifting property of magnetic colloidal fluids makes them potentially useful for devices such as optical interfaces, active noise, and vibration dampers inside spacecrafts. Future uses could include robotics, energy-transfer devices such as clutches, and other control systems.
Earth Applications
The work has application to directed self-assembly of crystalline structures from particles that may eventually allow creation of new nano-materials fabricated from nanoparticle building blocks, with potential applications in medicine, energy storage, chemical separations, and catalysis. Magnetic colloidal fluid technology is currently being used for shock absorbers in racecars and sport cars. This technology is expanding to include making large-scale building foundation stabilizers for areas prone to earthquakes.
Operational Requirements
InSPACE-3 will be conducted inside the MSG work volume. The fluid sample in the vial assembly must be uniformly mixed prior to test operations. Thirty-six tests will be performed, two or three per day. The Vial Assemblies may be reused indefinitely after restoring an even distribution to the particles within the fluid. Video downlink will be monitored on the ground during testing and provided to the PI as desired. Sample return of the Vial Assemblies is not required. Video imagery will be stored on 72 Mini-DVCAM tapes and 36 Hi-8 tapes for later return to the ground for more complete analysis.
Operational Protocols
The crew will install the hardware into the MSG and as part of that uniformly distribute the particles in the fluid of the first Vial Assembly prior to installation in the hardware. Two DVCAM and one Hi-8 tape will be loaded into the video recorders in the video drawer. The crew member will next focus each optical train onto the particles in the center of the vial. A run is started by setting the current per the test matrix and then setting the pulse frequency of the current. Both are simple adjustments of dial pots by the crew while observing digital displays of the values of each. Note that the current level controls the strength of the magnetic field applied to the MR fluid. A Field of View sweep and a focus sweep are performed right away with each optical train and then again about 20 minutes later. The experiment will run autonomously with ground monitoring for the next two to three hours. Another FOV sweep and focus sweep for each optical train is performed prior to removing the magnetic field from the vial by setting the current to zero. Another run may be started with the same vial assembly after remixing the particles in the fluid, or a different vial assembly may be used. Upon completion of all testing, the hardware is removed from the MSG.

What are mung beans?
For thousands of years, mung beans have been used for a variety of purposes. Mung beans originated in India and were cultivated throughout Asia.
If you have high cholesterol, you may benefit from eating mung beans daily. Mung beans are low in cholesterol and high in soluble dietary fibers.
Mung beans are a low glycemic index food, which means the beans are a diabetic friendly food.
Mung beans contain approximately 3.16 g of protein per cup.
What are black beans?
From a single, one-cup serving of black beans you get nearly 15 grams of fiber (well over half of the Daily Value and the same amount consumed by the average U.S. adult in one entire day of eating) and 15 grams of protein (nearly one third of the Daily Value and equivalent to the amount in 2 ounces of a meat like chicken or a fish like salmon).Recent research has shown that black beans provide special support for digestive tract health, particularly our colon. One cup of black beans provides over 4 grams of soluble fiber, and this is precisely the type of fiber that researchers have found especially helpful in lowering blood cholesterol levels.
What are Azuki beans?
Sweet and nutty, the adzuki bean is a small red-brown bean frequently used in Japanese desserts. Like other legumes, the adzuki bean is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in protein, fiber and folic acid.
A 1/2 cup serving of cooked adzuki beans meets 12 percent of the daily value for iron, 13 percent of the daily value for potassium and 35 percent of the daily value for folic acid. Iron is responsible for getting oxygen to your muscles and organs and also makes up part of the enzymes that help you digest food.
Where can i find the Mung Bean Fettuccini?
The Mung Bean Fettuccini is now is a blend with Edamame to create a smoother texture and a delicious taste. While supplies last we are selling the Mung Bean Fettuccini online.
Where is your product manufactured?
We have sourced our products from the best farmers and factories in both Thailand and China. All our facitilities have passed 3rd party audits with very high standards. We take great pride in providing you with an excellent product.
Are you Kosher?
Yes, all of our products are certified by Badatz Chatam.
Is your product bean pasta good for diabetics?
Yes! The average GI (glycemic index) for the bean pastas is ONLY 20!
Are fibres included in your carbohydrate count?
Yes, In the US we include fibre in the total number of carbs, whereas in Europe it's not included and seperated on the nutrition label.
What is the production process for the bean pasta?
Thank you for taking a keen interest in our procress. The production process of our pastas is as follows:
We grind the dry beans into a flour and add water to make the mixture soft enough to be able to pass through our extrusion machine at low temperature.
It comes out as a long thread, which we hang on stainless steel rods; then, it undergoes 3-4 hours of the air drying process. At the end of this process, the pasta is dry and gets cut into the shape required and packed leaving us with a simple and delicious product to enjoy.
Do you have to cook the pasta?
Since our bean pastas are made of only beans and water which make is easy to rehydrate or boil to cook. Just pop them into a bowl of water and soak overnight in the fridge if you don't want to cook them or 7-8 mins in boiling water will get the job done.
They will come out tasting delicious both ways.
Are the products raw?
Almost! Raw products are cooked at 115 degrees, and our products are dried at around 120 degrees. Just pop them into a bowl of water and soak overnight in the fridge. They will come out tasting delicious with cooking required.
Can you tell me if your black bean pasta is made with black beans or black soy beans?
Our black beans do not contain soy, but we do process soybeans in our facility. The extrusion process of the black bean takes place on a separate machine, but the drying tunnel is the same. We do our upmost to make sure that there is no cross contamination.
Do you have any plans to make bean pastas in other shapes?
What a great request! Unfortunately, we can only extrude it into a spaghetti or fettuccine shape right now. We have passed this request onto our development team to see what they can cook up in the future.
Do you add sugar to your products? How is there 5 grams of sugar?
There is no added sugar in our products! The 5g of sugar that appears on the nutritional facts is sugar that is naturally from the beans only which make this dish a perfect one for diabetics.
Are your products non-GMO?
In the US market, we are also undergoing the testing by the Non-GMO verification process and soon will have its symbol on our packaging. Stay tuned for the updated label. By virtue of being Organically certified by IMO from Switzerland, all of our products are Non-GMO.
Can it be true just black beans with so much nutrition?
There are many varieties of black beans, and the protein and fiber content also differ from one variety to the other by the soil type, amount of sunlight vs darkness it receives and, of course, amount of organic compost and rainfall!! All these parameters contribute to different ratios of total carbs (carbs+fiber) to protein. The range is 1.1 to 1.5 for our product. The nutritional panel has been derived from 2 lab testings both and is accurate ( what do you mean here?). Enjoy the great taste of pasta with the benefits of beans!
Are you on social media?

The First Chapter of "The Rising" by Robert Ovies | IPNovels.com
Read the first chapter of the thrilling novel The Rising by Robert Ovies. If you like what you're reading, visit the novel's page to learn more or order!
It was, as wake services go, unremarkable. Marion Klein had been a faithful wife for twenty-one years, a gracious mother for seventeen, and a genuinely loved member of the St. Veronica parish staff for nearly six. She had more than what some might consider the usual number of close friends, due both to her highly visible position as parish secretary and her natural affinity for smiling one of those smiles that surges up easily and often to signal a deep and contagious appreciation of life.
Her easy disposition was a joy not only to her husband, Ryan, but also to her children, Truman and Dawn, both teens and both the only children of a St. Veronica parish staff member not named after a Roman Catholic saint—a meaningless aside that Father Mark Cleary had rolled his eyes over in mock dismay on more than one occasion during the half-dozen good years that he and Marion worked so closely together.
Since it had been her nature to find reason to smile in what others knew must be difficult circumstances, everyone wondered how Marion would handle the spreading cancer that her doctor whispered upon her exactly three years ago this month. But as everyone who came to the MacInnes Funeral Home agreed, she handled it as well as anyone could. She fought it with chemistry and good humor until a few days into June when she finally lay too weak to walk and too toxic to pretend and let Father Mark—her pastor, employer, and friend—anoint her with the oil of a sad and quiet blessing for what Father Mark said was her peace and healing but for what Marion knew was, in fact, her death.
Now, with a thin, gray Tuesday rain sprinkling the beginnings of another humid Michigan summer and 124 friends and relatives gathered to visit and cry and smile and say good-bye to a dear friend and companion, Father Mark recalled Marion's cheerfulness and offered a prayer that she now, at last, would be completely and finally healed in God, the One in whom, for all of eternity, "Marion's joy will be complete."
He felt the loss of her company personally, and everyone knew it. It was appreciated. Then he invited others to share some memory and a number of them did, including Marion's sixteen-year-old son, who told about having to eat tomato soup and bacon at his mom's insistence every time he broke a fever, "to get salt back into my system", and how his mother's jokes had helped him through so many hard times of his own, even though he was only a teenager, and that he would really, really miss her. His thirteen-year-old sister talked briefly about carnivals and how her mom had always laughed a lot, and how that is the way she would like to be, and she would be, even though she was crying now. Others cried with her. Her dad chose to avoid speaking, not for lack of memories but from the weight of too many, too quickly passed. Ryan and Marion had been married in college, and this was a hard, hard night.
After fifteen minutes of memories, which passed quickly, Father Mark prayed his final blessing, and the service quietly ended. He shook hands with Ryan and Marion's brother, Kerry, who lived on the west side of the state but seldom visited. Dawn hugged the priest briefly and then her dad, long and hard. Nearly a hundred people came slowly up to the casket, some in pairs, to kneel beside Marion's body and make a quick sign of the cross, a few to touch her rigid hand, some hovering very near for a long moment of reflection or discomfort or both, some nodding quickly and moving on. One leaned over and seemed about to kiss her, but didn't, whispering several words instead. Most stood at a safe distance and simply stared, perhaps thinking of Marion's death, perhaps thinking of their own.
Good-nights were exchanged. Doors opened. Umbrellas were raised. Giles MacInnes and his two assistants, Dave Harmon and Giles' own daughter, Melissa, still in college and still in training, stood in black and thanked everyone for coming. They smiled, but not too much.
The mourners filed into the night carefully, as though afraid something else in their life might break. Ryan Klein finally cried, barely, and Dawn and Truman did, too. They spoke briefly to Father Mark and to Giles about the next day's service. Then it was time to close.
Melissa went to the office to note the evening's service for her files. Dave Harmon quickly straightened the chairs that had been rearranged during the service, then checked the restrooms for lost articles. He found nothing. He slipped on his coat, said good-night to Giles, and walked with Melissa to the parking lot, locking the front door behind them. Giles, by his own choice, was also responsible for final lockup. He glanced quickly around the now-silent viewing room. He had an efficient eye. The room was in generally good order. It always was. He would leave the red-padded folding chairs in place, probably too many for the morning, but better too many than too few. A black silk scarf had slipped to the floor next to the couch. His assistant hadn't noticed it. There was always something. Giles picked the scarf up with a casual sweep of his hand and placed it on the coat-rack by the door, where someone would certainly see and retrieve it if they made their way back for the morning service. If not, no matter.
With that, he straightened two more chairs, glanced briefly at his watch, and turned just in time to see Marion Klein's crystal rosary slide with a terrible grace, like the world coming to an end in sickening slow motion, over the back of her rising left hand and across her trembling, rose-polished fingernails to drop with a click as tiny as death on her slowly stirring chest.

It is well known that a hot summer sun can give you a lasting tan , but can the winter sun do the same? How much less 'cancerous' is the winter vs. summer sun. Is exposure to winter sun 50% as dangerous as prolonged exposure to summer sun?
It is well known that a hot summer sun can give you a lasting tan , but can the winter sun do the same? How much less 'cancerous' is the winter vs. summer sun. Is exposure to winter sun 50% as dangerous as prolonged exposure to summer sun?
From my understanding (I'm no doctor) unless you're very prone for some reason you shouldn't worry about it. In general we worry about skin cancer too much even in summer, the fact is our bodies need the vitamin D the sun gives us and most of the hype has been created by pharmaceutical companies. Burning your skin is dangerous and my cause cancer over time, if you're out all day in the summer cover up or wear sun screen, if you're out all day in the winter you are most likely already covered up so no need to worry, if you're out for an hour or less in the summer I would say go without sun screen and let your body get what it needs. (of course this depends on how hot the sun is where you are as well).
Many doctors are now taking on the belief that we aren't getting enough vitamin D because of over use of sun screens (most of which contain harmful carcinogens themselves). Some are even condoning the use of tanning salons/beds in winter months (not what I would recommend) or vitamin D supplements (I take the supplements). When you do use sunblock try to find a zinc oxide based lotion without a lot of additives.
Wow, I had more of an opinion on this than I had thought.

The heat has nothing to do with it, it's the UV rays. Basically, if you can get sunburned from it, you can have skin cancer issues as well. Probably less common in winter due to reduced amount of light and reduced amount of exposed skin. The only time I ever got sunburned in the winter was once when I was snowshoeing and sun was reflecting off of the snow as well.
There is a correlation between sun exposure and skin cancer, but that doesn't mean you'll never get skin cancer if you don't go in the sun, or that you will get it if you do- you just increase your risk of it.
"be careful this rando stuff is addictive and dan's the 'pusher'."
Here in Alberta it would be very difficult to get skin cancer from the winter sun!! Most of the winter, the only parts of our skin which might be exposed to the sun would be our cheek bones and maybe our noses, if we don't have them covered with balaclavas and scarves ... and the length of time we're outside is relatively short.
In fact, here in Alberta it is so cold most of the year, not much of our skin gets exposed to the sun. There's usually about a month each year where I'll venture out in shorts and a jersey, and then I'm really only in the sun on the weekends during that month.
As Godwin says, up here, Drs are encouraging people to get out into the sun.
Now it's a whole different story in Australia ... an hour in the sun without sunscreen there, and you're burnt to a crisp (in their fall). This is the Voice of Experience talking ... I had to limit my exposed sun time, when I was there this past February, to about 30 minutes.
The fact is, the sun on any day of the year can cause changes to the cell structure of the skin that can lead to various forms of cancer, including malignant ones that spread through the body and kill people. To suggest that even in summer the risks are something we worry too much about is errant and dangerous.
The fact also is that skin cancers resulting from sun exposure don't appear overnight. They appear often years after constant exposure has stopped. So people feel confident of remaining in the sun, getting sunburnt or deeply tanned, with no obvious ill effects from cancerous changes to moles and other parts of the skin.
The tanning industry in Victoria, Australia, has almost gone out of business in the past six months after a woman claimed to have contracted skin cancer from using tanning beds. She died, but made sure the world knew of her plight and what she believed caused it beforehand.
The Vitamin D issue has some credence, but more because, I believe, people spend so much time indoors working, or spending their leisure time watching television or playing on computers, rather than occupying themselves with outdoor recreation.
And the exposure requirements to the sun for adequate Vitamin D intake are far less than would result in skin damage that may lead to skin cancer.
The only saving grace about winter sun is that because the earth tilts on its axis, the radiation has to penetrate a thicker layer of the atmosphere, filtering out some of the UV. The days are also shorter. Pollution, such as the thick clouds that hang over cities such as LA also can help, but carry their own health problems.
And just as a little heads up... many, many of the skins cancers that are routinely burned off people are on the nose, cheeks, temples, lips and ears... the very places that continue to be exposed to the sun even in winter. And when there is snow and ice, the sun's radiation is reflected off that as well, intensfying what's already being taken in directly from the sun. Windburn after a day on the snow is not... it is sunburn.
As to the OP's initial observation about the "hot summer sun" and "tanning", people who ride bikes and apply sunscreen are more likely to remain comfortably "cooler" and not perceive the heat of the sun as the day passes.
By the way, have you noticed just how awful those old people with deep, deep tans look because of the wrinkled skin? Old habits die hard and you can expected those wrinkles to have come from skin degradation resulting from sun worship. Chances are there are skin cancers forming there, too.
Dream. Dare. Do.
Well, there's no safe dose for ionizing radiation, so the risk is not zero, but for all practical purposes, you probably won't have to worry. Our bodies are typically covered in layers of clothing in the winter, and what little is exposed (face, maybe hands) usually maintains a slight tan through the winter - enough to reduce the risk to negligible levels.

African History / Autobiography
In the Realms of Gold
Pioneering in African History
Roland Oliver
The author of the classic Short History of Africa chronicles his fifty years as an Africanist
Over the last fifty years, Roland Oliver has been both a witness to the post-colonial history of Africa and a preeminent scholar of the continent's pre-colonial history. Oliver was a young Cambridge graduate in 1947 when he took a newly created position at the University of London, to research, and eventually teach, the pre-colonial history of Africa. Seeking from the outset to establish a unified conception of African history free from European frameworks, Oliver and his colleague John Fage went on to write the influential Short History of Africa, found the Journal of African History, and co-edit the eight-volume Cambridge History of Africa.In the Realms of Gold is Oliver's account of his life and work. He writes in a deft and lively style about the circumstances of his early life that shaped his education and outlook: his childhood on a river houseboat in Kashmir, the influential teachers and friends met at Stowe and Cambridge, and his service in World War II as a cryptographer in British intelligence, where he met his first wife, Caroline Linehan. His interest in church history while at Cambridge led him to study the historical effects of Christian missionaries in Africa, and thus his career began.
The core of the book is Oliver's account of his research travels throughout tropical Africa from the 1940s to the 1980s: his efforts to train and foster African graduate students to teach in African universities, his role in establishing conferences and journals to bring together the work of historians and archaeologists from Europe and Africa, his encounters with political and religious leaders, scholars, soldiers, and storytellers, and the political and economic upheavals of the continent that he witnessed.
"This autobiography is essential to understanding the historiography of Africa. Oliver vividly evokes facets of life, research, and the effects of rule in tropical Africa from the Second World War onward to the waning days of the first generation after independence."Jan Vansina, University of WisconsinMadison
Roland Oliver is emeritus professor of the history of Africa at the University of London. His most famous book, A Short History of Africa, has been translated into some dozen languages, and among his many other books are The African Experience, Africa since 1800, and The Cambridge History of Africa.
