Your doctor or health care provider will probably want to see you about six weeks after you deliver to make sure you're recovering well - physically and emotionally. If you had a c-section, your doctor may ask to see you about two weeks after you deliver to make sure your incision is healing properly, and then again at six weeks.
At your six week postpartum checkup, your doctor will perform a complete physical and ask you questions about your recovery and your baby; this is also a good time to ask your doctor any questions you have about your recovery, postpartum depression, breastfeeding, formula feeding or anything else that's on your mind.
The following are part of a standard postpartum checkup:
Weight and blood pressure - Your doctor will weigh you and check that your blood pressure is back to normal.
Breasts and abdomen - Your uterus should have returned to its normal size by six weeks postpartum, even though your stomach muscles may still feel slack. Your doctor will also feel your abdomen to check for tenderness and your breasts for lumps or abnormal nipple discharge. If you are breastfeeding, he or she will make sure you don't have any clogged ducts or the beginnings of a breast infection (mastitis).
Perineum and internal exam - Your doctor will check to be sure your perineum is healing if you had an episiotomy or tore during delivery. During the internal exam, he or she will also check to make sure any bruises, scratches, or tears to your cervix or vagina are healing properly. He or she will also feel your ovaries and check your vaginal muscle tone.
Discuss sex and contraception - Your doctor will probably give you the go-ahead to resume sex if you are healing well. If you have already started having sex again, let your practitioner know if you are experiencing any pain or lack of lubrication. He or she will probably discuss methods of contraception with you as well. Remember that even if you are breastfeeding and haven't had a period, you can still conceive. Another good reason to discuss contraception now is because many women find they prefer a different type of birth control after they've had a baby, or a new method may have been released since they got pregnant. In addition, certain types of birth control, such as barrier methods, need to be checked for fit since your cervix may have changed size after a vaginal delivery.
Discuss any concerns - He or she will probably ask you how you are adjusting to motherhood, how you are feeling overall, how the baby is doing, and if you are experiencing any postpartum depression. This is a good time to bring up any questions or concerns you have that he or she hasn't addressed.
Lab tests - If you were anemic during your pregnancy or experienced excessive blood loss during or after childbirth, your practitioner may have your blood tested. He or she may also perform a Pap smear at this visit.
It's important that you make and keep a six-week postpartum appointment with your doctor. Consider it a good excuse to get out of the house and to treat yourself to a pedicure, a massage, or a relaxing hour at your favorite café after the appointment.

RIC Global Patient Services 345 East Superior Street South MezzanineChicago, IL 60611
Services and Levels of Care
Immediately following a catastrophic injury or new diagnosis, the RIC team is available for consultation and assistance. We will work closely with the referring physicians and the patient/family to support a seamless transition to our Acute Inpatient Hospital.
As a Center of Excellence we provide comprehensive, interdisciplinary intervention during the critical weeks following a life-altering accident and set the stage for successful recovery by minimizing secondary complications and creating hope for future progress.
RIC's six DayRehabCenters® deliver intensive, multidisciplinary therapy – full day or half day – to individuals who are medically stable and no longer in need of hospitalization. This level of care provides a higher level of intensity than traditional outpatient services along, with the same interdisciplinary team coordination that is usually associated with an inpatient program.
Rehabilitation goals focus on the life skills necessary to be successful at home, at work, and in the community. Patients in Day Rehabilitation live with their family members/caregivers in nearby housing. Transportation in wheelchair-accessible vans is available to and from our Day Rehabilitation Clinics.
The RIC ExpertEval® program offers a coordinated, individualized evaluation for those seeking a second opinion, information on the latest therapies, or guidance about an ideal rehabilitation program for their goals. Most individuals traveling to RIC from out of the area will start with an Outpatient ExpertEval to help determine their next steps toward recovery.
RIC also provides convenient outpatient rehabilitation services. Many people find that well-timed outpatient physical medicine for musculoskeletal injuries and acute pain offer precisely the help they need, avoiding costly interventions down the road or lingering problems that can become chronic impairments.
RIC's Center for Pain Management provides an interdisciplinary team to manage complex pain syndromes. This team specializes in treatment of the pain often associated with inactivity, medication dependence, and depression. The program explains the biological, psychological and social factors related to the pain and empowers patients to return to previous life activities.

Anjaal (nearside) scores by a neck under Paul Hanagan at 14-1PICTURE: Martin Lynch (racingpost.com/photos)
Anjaal pounces for last-gasp July victory
Report: Newmarket, Thursday
Portland Place Properties July Stakes (Group 2) 6f, 2yo c & g
ANJAAL swooped late under Paul Hanagan to take the July Stakes at 14-1 with a performance that left the Richard Hannon team looking forward to next year's Qipco 2,000 Guineas.
Hamdan Al Maktoum's colt is a general 33-1 for the Guineas but as short as 16-1 with Ladbrokes after scoring by a neck from Figure Of Speech (7-2). Jallota (20-1) was just a head behind in third.
Sir John Hawkins, the 9-4 favourite, was three-quarters of a length further back in fourth.
Hanagan paid tribute to the fighting spirit of Anjaal, who played up at the start and was slowly away when the gates opened but found a tremendous surge up the hill.
"He's got a great temperament and really did stick his neck out, he couldn't have done any more for me," the jockey said.
"He was very green first time out and was a lot more relaxed today. He took forever to get going and will get further."
Richard Hannon jnr said: "We gave him plenty of time after Beverley and he's done well, putting on a lot of weight. He looks like he wants seven furlongs and it would be nice to think of him as a Dewhurst horse with the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster in between."
Asked if the winner could be a Guineas colt next year, Hannon added: "Why not? Absolutely."
The pace was disputed for a long way by Bahamian Heights and Astaire, followed by Jallota and the hard-pulling Brown Sugar, Hannon's more fancied runner at 5-1.
Sir John Hawkins looked well placed just behind the leaders but the Coventry third did not quicken as well as expected and the more potent challengers came from the rear of the 11-runner field.
Figure Of Speech attacked on the far side and for a few moments seemed set to score for Godolphin, but Anjaal launched an irresistible run on the stands' side of the group to claim the spoils.

Not impressed
"I ordered the Croc Huarache sandals because I have several summer outfits in the colors they include. I always wear a 6 or 6 1/2. I ordered the larger size and they fit length wise, however, they are a little snug across the middle of the foot, which makes them uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time."

Love these flip flops!
"I bought them for vacation and I haven't stopped wearing them since! They are so comfortable and I feel secure enough they won't fall off. My feet are a little wide so I had to go a size up because they straps were snug. Because I had to go bigger, the front is a little long and sometimes I trip up. But otherwise I love them!"

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

In the Old Testament, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were three Israelite youths who, along with Daniel, were brought into the palace of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. Abed-nego's Hebrew name was Azariah. The four young men refused to defile themselves by partaking of the king's meat and wine (Dan. 1). Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were thrown into a fiery furnace by the king but were preserved by the Son of God (Dan. 3).

Morning conference: Making $10,000 through Diablo III
Some of us remember the infamous player who made over $10,000 with Diablo III's real money auction house system. Some discussions followed on reddit, which the player took part in.
There he said he'd never scammed, botted or otherwise cheated at all in his efforts because trading in item markets is part of how he has fun, so it "wouldn't make sense" to cheat.
He, among other things, said that
Gold is like a foreign currency. It represents value, but only within the specific game world. You can't use gold to buy things in stores in the US, just like you can't use Yen to buy things in those stores. If, however, you can convert that currency to a usable one, it has an "exchange rate." Gold has an exchange rate exactly like a foreign currency has. (Except gold is more easily exchanged than 90% of the currencies in the world.)
Since then Blizzard has promised to look over the currency converting abilities of the Diablo 3 auction house, but so far they haven't really gotten around to it. It might not be in Blizzards best interest to have a system where elaborate strategies are used to extract these kinds of sums of money, but it's not in their interest to remove this initial idea from the game either.
Making this much money from one game however, raises some questions. The interesting ones for now are; Have you ever wanted to make money from gaming? If you would go for it, how would you do it? Would it be through systems like the Diablo 3 auction house, or would you want to earn your money through pro gaming, tournaments or streaming?

text: The following is a short part of a slave narrative collected by the Federal Writer's Project in the 1930s. It is short but somehow I could not get all of it on the Internet. Walter Rimm, Age 80 "My pappy wasn't 'fraid of nothin'. He am light cullud from de white blood, and he runs away sev'ral times. Dere am big woods all round and we sees lots of run-awayers. One old fellow name John been a run-awayer for four years and de patterrollers* tries all dey tricks, but dey can't cotch him. Dey wants him bad, 'cause it 'spire other slaves to run away if he stays a-loose. Dey sots de trap for him. Dey knows he like good eats, so dey 'ranges for a quiltin' and gives chitlin's and lye hominey. John comes and am inside when de patterrollers rides up to de door. Everybody gits quiet and John stands near de door, and when dey starts to come in he grabs de shovel full of hot ashes and throws dem into de patterrollers faces. He gits through and runs off, hollerin', 'Bird in de air!' "One woman name Rhodie runs off for long spell. De hounds won't hunt her. She steals hot light bread** when dey puts it in de window to cool, and lives on dat. She told my mammy how to keep de hounds from followin' you is to take black pepper and put it in you socks and run without you shoes. It make de hounds sneeze. "One day I's in de woods and meets de nigger runawayer. He comes to de cabin and mammy makes him a bacon and egg sandwich and we never seed him again. Maybe he done got clear to Mexico, where a lot of de slaves runs to. *"Patterrollers" (patrollers) were white men who served on local patrols organized throughout the South to control the movement of slaves outside their home plantations. Patrollers policed their neighborhoods by challenging any slave whom they suspected of being away from home to produce a written "pass," or authorization, from his or her master. Slaves found without a pass were subject to arrests, beatings, or other forms of violence, some of which led to death. **"Light bread" is leavened bread made with wheat flour. Where the rest of the country simply says bread, Southerners often say light bread or, less commonly, loaf bread, to refer to bread made of wheat flour and leavened with yeast. Contrary to what Northerners might think, light bread is not a synonym for white bread. "Light" refers not to the color of the bread but to the yeast that "lightens" it, so light bread can be whole wheat or white. Light bread or loaf bread contrasts instead with pone or cornpone, bread made with corn meal and usually unleavened.

OK, so you have to pick up prescriptions from the pharmacy... swing by the grocery store... stop at the bank... and go to the mall. You're in luck. You can do all this and exercise, too.
At all your stops, park as far away as you can. Instant perk: It's easy to find a parking space! Depending on the number of stops you make, you could accumulate 10 to 20 minutes of walking by the end of your errands!
Take a look at these ideas and think of your own ways to fit in fitness:
- Banking. Get out of your car and go inside. Doing so can pay added dividends because you'll get to know your banking staff personally. And vice versa. This relationship may prove helpful when you want to take out a loan or use other banking services.
- Car Pooling. What can you do with a carload of kids? Not much while you're driving. Park the car a few blocks from school and walk the rest of the way with them. After they go inside, take a couple of turns around the block, the school grounds or the track.
- Cleaners. Carry your laundry to and from the cleaners from across the parking lot. You'll burn more calories!
- Grocery Shopping. Grab a cart on the way in. Loop around the inside of the store at least once before heading down the aisles. Do some stretching activities while you're waiting to check out. Push your own groceries out to the car. Take the cart back to the store instead of leaving it in a corral in the parking lot. That will add a few extra walking minutes to your daily goal. All those steps add up! And your stamina and attitude will improve.
- Hairdresser. Do leg kicks and leg lifts while you're sitting under the dryer.
- Shopping. Be an "aerobic shopper." Walk the mall before starting your shopping. Climb the stairs instead of using the escalator. Each time you make a purchase, walk back to your car to drop off your bag, adding more steps to your day and lightening your load while shopping.

Workers lack power during periods of high unemployment.
The fast-food and retail worker strikes taking place across the U.S. illustrate the very reason we need to raise the minimum wage.
OUR VIEW: Minimum wage not the best tool
The minimum wage was first enacted in the 1930s, after the country's experience in the Great Depression taught us that putting a floor under wages is a vital protection for workers, particularly those in the least desirable jobs.
During periods of high unemployment, many workers are forced to take lower-paying jobs, such as those in fast food and retail, because there simply are no other options available to them. Under these conditions, employers hold all the cards — they can keep wages abysmally low because they know that their employees don't have other job options.
A growing number of workers face this situation today. They're stuck in jobs that pay so little, they struggle to afford basic necessities. The federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour equates to about $15,000 per year for a full-time worker — less than the federal poverty line for a parent with one child.
When workers are paid poverty-level wages, the entire country suffers. Unable to survive on dismal wages, more and more low-wage workers are being forced to rely on public assistance such as the earned income tax credit and food stamps. These programs are vital protections against poverty, but they should not act as a subsidy to profitable corporations that could afford to pay their workers decent wages.
At times of depressed consumer demand like we face today, helping low-wage workers helps everyone. Consumer spending drives our economy, accounting for about 70% of U.S. gross domestic product. When wages are so low that full-time workers can't make ends meet, consumer spending weakens. Raising wages for low-wage workers can strengthen economy-wide demand by putting more money in the pockets of consumers who will spend it right away.
With unemployment forecast to remain high for several years, workers simply do not have the bargaining power to push for higher wages. The striking workers have shown remarkable solidarity, but the reality is that they are unlikely to see any pay increases without legislative action.
We need to raise the minimum wage so that workers in the lowest-paid jobs can afford what they need, and businesses have the customers that they need.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

: Thanks in advance. I have a basement stub out that appears to be set up for a bath. The toilet and sink drains are simple enough, but how do I do the shower. One option appears to be to build up a platform high enough for the drain to be installed. Otherwise would you tear out the slab, and if so, how do you deal with the problem of the fiberglass base flexing. I'm assuming the slab gets repoured. ( Yea , I know, never assume)This one has me stumped, any help will be welcomed. Thanks again, Gary

Health and Face Firming Benefits of DMAE
Dimethylaminoethenol, or DMAE, is an antioxidant that works within the body to produce many positive effects. From face firming results to boosted energy levels to improved behavior and mental functions, DMAE offers many possible benefits to the human body.

What Exactly is DMAE and How Does It Work?
DMAE is a chemical naturally produced in the body by the metabolic process of procaine, though it can also be artificially produced in a lab.
DMAE is unique from choline, the chemical it most resembles, because it can cross the blood-brain barrier. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier means that it can easily enter the brain. Once DMAE reaches the brain, it is acted upon by an enzyme that converts it into choline.
Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine plays a part in the regulation of skeletal muscle movement as well as maintaining smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. In the central nervous system, acetylcholine is thought to aid learning and memory, and to help regulate mood.
Possible Benefits of DMAE
Because DMAE aids a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, it is thought to have many possible benefits for the human body.
For example, it can help:
- Prevent and help treat cardiovascular problems
- Boost immune system
- Treatment of depression
- Increase energy
- Help reduce the amount of sleep your body needs
Because DMAE helps to create acetylcholine, it can affect the brain in a myriad of ways, obviously. It is thought to help with ADHD, ADD, and mild depression because it acts within the neural pathway responsible for attention span and mood regulation. Though scientists are unsure as to how DMAE causes these positive effects, studies have shown that with long term use, DMAE can help alleviate behavioral and emotional issues.
DMAE's many health benefits, such as prevention and treatment of cardiovascular problems, are due to its ability to block free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that either need to gain or lose an electron. They will steal an electron from a cell in the body in order to stabilize themselves. In the process of trying to stabilize, free radicals can cause damage to the body, including cardiovascular, immune, and skin problems.
Deactivation of free radicals occurs because DMAE stabilizes the membrane around the outside of cells by giving or receiving an electron, creating a sort of protective casing.
This ability to fend off free radicals comes in handy in a world overwrought with outside stressors like sun damage, industrial pollution, radiation, and cigarette smoke. All of these outside stressors are also known to cause damage to your skin.
How Face Firming DMAE Can Improve Your Skin
Because DMAE fights free radicals, it can benefit your skin.
Face firming DMAE can give your skin a more youthful appearance. It helps to increase elasticity and firmness because it helps to regulate skeletal muscle movement. It also helps to enhance smooth muscle function, making facial contours more defined. By increasing the amount of DMAE in your body, you can help to fight and reverse the signs of aging.
DMAE can also help prevent and reduce age spots. Age spots are caused by lipofucsin, a brown pigment in the skin that forms because of age, but also because of free radical damage. DMAE can block the formation of lipofucsin and therefore reduce the occurrence and appearance of age spots.
So how can you work DMAE into your skin care regimen? DMAE can be applied topically and internally.
Internally, DMAE supplements like Doctor Perricone DMAE can directly place DMAE in your body to work from the inside out.
Externally, moisturizers, creams, and face washes can help to boost the face firming DMAE in your skin. Topical treatments that contain both DMAE and alpha lipoic acid are especially potent because they combine the best of antioxidant technology into one cream. Perricone Advanced Face Firming Activator contains both alpha lipoic acid and DMAE to help reduce discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness.
Have you reaped the benefits of DMAE? Tell us your thoughts below.

Rain? What rain? Celebs braved a nasty downpour to attend the 2010 Tony Awards on Sunday at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Christopher Walken had a personal umbrella holder. Scarlett Johansson arrived with a better accessory: husband Ryan Reynolds, or as she refers to him, "My Canadian who I live with." Lea Michele brought her BFF Jonathan Groff; meanwhile, an audience of fans gathered across the street, howling for the divalicious Glee actress and other stars including Daniel Radcliffe, Ricky Martin and Green Day.

In an age where fantastic inventions of steam and brass have elevated Britain and China into mighty empires, Alice Michaels faces a future of technological terrors…
Once, Gavin Ennock sailed the skies on airships and enchanted listeners with his fiddle music. Now, the clockwork plague consumes his intellect, enabling him to conceive and construct scientific wonders—while driving him quite mad. Distressed by her beloved's unfortunate condition, Alice Michaels sought a cure rumored to be inside the Doomsday Vault—and brought the wrath of the British Empire down on them.
Declared enemies of the Crown, Alice and Gavin have little choice but to flee to China in search of a cure. Accompanying them is Dr. Clef, a mad genius driven to find the greatest and most destructive force the world has ever seen: The Impossible Cube. If Dr. Clef gets his hands on it, the entire universe will face extinction.
And Gavin holds the key to its recreation…
Steampunk and Zombies? Maybe the first in this series would be my perfect intro to both! lol
This sounds like a unique combination. I may have to check out the first book!
Oh, yes! I think this is what i need!! I'm really digging the Steampunk genre. Throw in a few zombies and I'm there. I like how it's not overwhelmingly steampunk-y, too. Sometimes the authors get waaayyy too excited about all the gears and gadgets.
thanks for reminding me when ths book is out. I totally forgot, but now went and pre-ordered ut! 🙂 Loved The Doomsday Vault, great review, Candace!
Hmmm… I don't think I've heard of this series before, but I think it's cool that this book opened with a quick summary.
I haven't really taken to Steampunk like I hoped I would of, but there seems to be some really good gems out there, like this one that doesn't feel overwhelming. And I think it was smart on the author's part to appeal to a wider audience.
I've never heard of this series before, but it sounds intriguing! And I like it when author add "The Story So Far" page too. I personally don't have time to reread books, so I do appreciate the short recap.
Great review!
Everytime I walk past book one in this series at the store I think oh Candace loves this book I should get it. Then I never do and I still haven't given this series a chance. Well with book two now out to the public or out very soon I shall have to try harder to pick up the first book.
Thanks for another great review, glad to see you are still in love with this series. I'm also glad that you feel it has a wide cross over appeal. 🙂

Beginners Guide to Allergies and Chemical Sensitivity
Table of Contents
- How Allergens and Toxins Enter your Body
- About Anti-Histamines and Other Drugs
Do you find that whenever you are exposed to certain substances, you start feeling ill? If so you may well be suffering from allergies, chemical sensitivities, or both. There are over 40 million people (some estimates put this number as high as 100 million) in the US who have allergies or chemical sensitivities. If you think you have allergies, chemical sensitivities or other forms of intolerance, you are not alone.
Allergies and chemical sensitivities can manifest itself in a large variety of symptoms, many of which are not often associated with allergies or sensitivities. Furthermore, you may notice that on some days you can tolerate that substance, while on other days the slightest exposure knocks you on your back.
The problems described above are a result of your body's immune system not working quite right. For some this may be a result of a hereditary trait. A friend of mine, for example, is normally healthy except that he is highly allergic to squash. A single bite of squash will send him to the hospital. This is likely to be a hereditary trait. Others may have been born healthy but over time have developed sensitivities to various substances.
When your immune system is weakened, the amount of allergen and chemical toxins you can tolerate before reacting decreases. Furthermore, there is a "stacking" or cumulative effect to allergen exposure. For example, you may normally be able to play with your dog even if you have mild pet allergies, however, if at the same time you are exposed to a large dose of pollen and smog (which you are also sensitive to), your immune system can go into overload and you may begin reacting to your dog. Therefore, regularly keeping your exposure of known allergen and toxin sources to a minimum through the use of air purifiers, sealants and other treatments can help you cope with unexpected or unavoidable exposure to other allergens.
Your immune system can be weakened by common illnesses, stress, poor diet, lack of exercise and exposure to toxins. Due to the large number of factors potentially involved in triggering an allergy attack, it is no wonder sometimes it is very difficult to identify what really caused it. It is therefore important to have allergy tests to identify what substances you are allergic to and how allergic you are to them.
The science on how to treat allergies and chemical sensitivities is not yet fully developed. Some solutions are surrounded by a great deal of controversy. However one thing that is almost universally agreed upon is that the avoidance of substances that trigger the allergies or sensitivities, and reducing the intake of toxins into the body, is a good thing.
Most of the solutions we provide at AlerG concentrate on this principle, the avoidance and removal, neutralization or sealing of toxic substances and allergens from your environment.
How Toxins and Allergens Can Enter Your Body: Top
- Through the air you breathe
- Through food you eat and liquid you drink
- Through your skin
The Air You Breathe Top
Air is essential to life. In fact it is so important that we will die if deprived of air for a just a few minutes. We often take the air we breathe for granted and assume it is safe. Unfortunately, the truth is the air in the average home, workplace and other public places can contain levels of toxins that can slowly poison you and break down your immune system. These toxins often referred to as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) can come from a variety of sources, furniture containing chipboard or plywood, carpets, paints, pesticides, cleaning products, new consumer electronic products, plastic products, even cosmetics and perfumes.
In addition to these poisons there can be allergens such as molds, dust mites, dust and animal dander that although not exactly poisonous, can cause reactions even more severe than some of the toxins. Numerous studies have shown that the air in homes and buildings often have levels of toxins and allergens several times higher than outside air. This is commonly known as the "sick building syndrome". The obvious solution might be to open the windows, but this may not be practical if the weather is cold and even if the temperature is fine, opening the window can let in another set of potential allergens and toxins, pollen, ozone and exhaust fumes.
So what is the solution to this problem? There are several steps that you can take to reduce the levels of toxins and allergens in the air inside your home:
- Use a good air purifier that removes both particulate allergens (such as dust mites, pollen, mold, etc.) AND harmful gases. Note that most lower-cost HEPA filters do not remove VOCs (volatile organic compounds) or other toxic gases. Air purifiers with a good volume of activated carbon filtration media are by far the most effective and safest way to remove VOCs and other toxins from the air.
- Grow plants in your home. Almost all green leafy houseplants are good at removing toxic gases from the air. Note: although this helps, plants cannot remove toxins anywhere as fast as a good air purifier (unless you have a jungle of plants) and therefore should not be considered a direct substitute. Growing a lot of plants may not be a good idea if you suffer from mold allergies.
- Use low- or non-toxic detergents, cleaners, personal care products, and pesticides around your home. These products are as effective but avoid many of the dangerous chemicals found in commonly available products.
- Make sure that there are no gas or exhaust leaks in your gas heater, gas water heater, gas cooker/stove or gas clothes dryer. If you can detect any kind of gas smell around those appliances, however slight, that should be cause for concern.
- If you have a gas cooker/stove, make sure you have a very good expeller fan that vents to the outside. If you are chemically sensitive, seriously consider changing it for an electric stove.
- New carpets should be treated to seal in the VOCs. If you are allergic to dust mites, treat carpets and other fabric upholstery with a dust mite treatment as well. Even better, replace carpets with hardwood, stone or laminate flooring.
- Treat furniture that is made with particleboard or plywood with the appropriate VOC sealant (note that almost all furniture today, even the most expensive stuff, is made with some particleboard or plywood content.)
- dust mite allergy sufferers should cover their mattress, pillow and quilt with a dust mite proof barrier/cover. If you suffer from dust mite allergies, this is probably the single most important thing that you can do to make yourself feel better. Why? Every time you move in your bed your mattress and pillow compresses a little, which forces air together with a cloud of dust mites and their feces up through your sheets and into the air you are breathing. Your just-washed sheets become almost instantly recontaminated with dust mites if you do not have dust mite proof covers. Note: It is estimated that as many as 80-90% of all allergy sufferers suffer from dust mite allergies and virtually ALL homes have dust mites.
- Change your bed linen at least once every 1-2 weeks. Your sheets, blankets and pillowcase should be washed in hot water or dried in a dryer on "hot" setting. (Dust mites will be killed in hot water over 140 degrees. They will also be killed if you put your laundry in a dryer over 140 degrees for at least 30 minutes. Most dryers on "hot" will exceed that temperature once the laundry is almost dry). If hot water washing is not an option, special detergents and additives are available to kill or neutralize dust mites and their allergens.
The Water you Drink Top
Next to the oxygen in the air we breathe, water is probably the next most critical substance to sustaining life. However, many toxins are soluble in water and during the long journey that it has to make to arrive in our homes, the water supply can become contaminated with dangerous toxins. Most municipal water treatment facilities do a decent job at removing the worst of the toxins and virtually all of the potentially disease causing microbes. However, it is often not cost-effectively possible at the municipal treatment plant to remove all traces of potentially toxic substances, and the primary chemical used to kill the microbes, chlorine, is itself a toxic chemical that many people are sensitive to. In most areas, it is therefore important that you either filter your drinking water or buy bottled water. Please note that there are many different types of water filters available it is important to choose a filter that is able to remove the toxic substances that are in your water supply. There also some substances that cannot be completely removed with filtration materials. If you are sensitive to these substances, you may consider using a water distiller.
It is also possible to absorb a very large amount of toxins through your skin. When you bathe or shower you are exposing the entire surface area of your skin to any substances dissolved in the water. If you consider how effective a small nicotine patch or motion sickness patch can be in transferring chemicals into your body, you'll realize how much more you may be absorbing while you bathe. Therefore, we highly recommend that you install a shower water filter.
The Food You Eat Top
It goes without saying that food is also essential to life. We are all used to eating platefuls of food, but anyone that has taken medication will know that even one small pill can have a huge effect on your body. Imagine how much toxic substance can be hidden in a plateful of the wrong kind of food. You only need to watch a video of a crop pesticide spraying to understand how our produce can be laced with toxins. Meat from animals (cows and chickens for example) that are raised on feed that contains crop sprayed with pesticides will also usually contain traces of toxins from the pesticide.
The solution here is to try and eat organically grown food whenever possible. It usually is not feasible to completely eliminate normally grown food from your diet since almost all restaurants and fast-food outlets do not use organically grown produce or meats. But even if you can manage a 25% reduction in pesticide laced food intake, that is 25% less toxin that your body and immune system has to deal with.
Regularly drinking lots of water and taking Vitamin C and E supplements can also help your body remove toxins from your system.
What about Anti-Histamines and Other Allergy Symptom Drugs? Top
The majority of allergy sufferers treat their allergies by popping prescription and over the counter drugs. Although we believe that these drugs can play a valuable part of keeping allergies at bay, you should understand that these drugs are simply treating the symptom, NOT the underlying cause.
Removing the allergens and toxins and strengthening your immune system on the other hand are treating the cause. We believe a balanced combination of the two is the best route. Reduce your unnecessary exposure to allergens and toxins as much as possible and use allergy drugs when necessary and when excess exposure is unavoidable.

I've destroyed most Megaman series horribly. Back in the days this game ruled over man, it was the game that was talked about most. I'll go through only a few only because I will get carried away.
Megaman X-X6. I wouldn't be able to sum it up in words how good this series is. After X3, X4 brought it to a new level, and from there things got crazy. I will never forget a few bosses throughout this entire series, Frost Walrus, Jet Stingray, pretty much all of X4 is legendary.
X5 was pretty slick, especially the purple blob monster, which was a pain in the ass to kill without a few tries not to mention the Gaea Armor and Falcon armor.
X6 was a bite out of a cheeseburger for me, I loved the armors, the bosses not so much mainly because they were a bit too easy, they sure as hell tried to make it difficult in getting armor parts though. All in all the battle system and equipment was pretty neat and I would've wanted it to be part of Megaman X5.
Playing as Zero was phenomenal. I didn't use X much, but nonetheless he is still a great character to use. I just like swords and sabers and wavy things that kill people.
Moving onto anther Megaman series is "Legends."
Megaman Legends, the very first 3D making of its kind. Talk about shit to do in that game. Upgrading buster parts, using a walkie talkie, talking save point health and energy restore monkey, jeez. The thing I appreciate most about this game is that the story is stretched evenly across the entire game. Though more could've been done to make this game a little longer because being on one island wasn't any much fun and made the game feel limited.
Megaman Legends 2 was a step up from the first. More bosses, wider areas, and a much much deeper story line that was both fun and amazing. Some parts of this game did creep me out and the puzzles took a little time for me to figure out when I first played. The bosses and little mini games were a big riot. I did not want this game to end at all, but I feel the game was missing something compared to the first, still don't know what it is, it's just a feeling.
Megaman 8? Damn this game was real funny to play, the bosses were braintards though.
As you can see some are missing. What happened to Megaman X7 and X8? NT Warrior? What about the new Megaman games out? My answer is I don't care about them. They all ruined it for me, thus I don't play these games that are fitted for todays kids. I'm old school, can't beat the classics. Especially those classics that many games now try to copy off of.
That's it for now, but yeah that's my intake .

I have a strange thumping noise emitting from the house when the neighbor runs their washing machine or flushing the toilet. Here�s the weird part. Their house is at least 200 feet away.
We're connected at the meter with one leg going to my house and the other to theirs. The meter's probably 350 feet each way. I have added additional straps to my water pipes everywher hoping to eliminate any vibration that could be bouncing off my floor joists. Do you have any idea's.

My name is Kyson Stilson. I am 12 years old and I attend Cottonwood Elementary in Orangeville. I am writing to you to fulfill a requirement for the Communications Merit Badge. The assignment is to write to the editor of the newspaper to express opinion or share information on a subject. I am writing to tell you about my experiences on a traveling basketball team this year.
I am playing on a team that plays in a sixth grade AAU league in Utah County that includes teams from Utah and Salt Lake Counties. Our team is coached by Ty Jensen of Cleveland. He is a really great coach. Our team has players from all over Emery County including Orangeville, Huntington and Cleveland. Many of the players on the teams that we play against are much bigger than our players. However, so far we are doing pretty good this year. Our record so far is 9-1 and we now heading into the tournament as the No. 1 seed. Last year our team won the championship for our division and hopefully we will win it this year. Whether we win or lose, I am having a lot of fun, making great friends, learning that hard work pays off, and learning the importance of belonging to a team. Go Emery.

Just to let you guys know; there won't be any new chapter next week.
So annoying. The story finally gets back on track and we have to wait. -__- how typical.
Just to let you guys know; there won't be any new chapter next week.
So annoying. The story finally gets back on track and we have to wait. -__- how typical.
Poor Allen...The fact that Mana may not have loved Allen but the Fourteenth inside of him is really heartbreaking. Now we all know that General Cross is a closet softie. Haha. I wonde r what will happen next chapter. How long will it be until Allen's conscience is erased and he becomes a Noah?
I really wish Hoshino would stop taking breaks. It's evil suspense. >.<;
Yume no geijutsuka. Artist of Dreams.
I liked this chapter Finally know quite alot..and i think Mana loved him since Cross said when 14th dead he was crushed and blah blah blah..you know so its quite possible..And im really really getting tired of these 14 page chapters even more
Avatar And Sig By Freakshow!!I dream of a better world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.I Have Patty Hurst Syndrome!
I can't wait!!!
I think that mana really loved allen!
remember "stand up streight and keep walking"
Thanks Blue hime!
I think that when Cross told Allen he had to kill someone close, they cut something he said after, which they'll bring up later... Cross tells him that he'll have to kill Cross! I think that would fit perfectly with him softening up, since he knows that he's one of the persons most precious to Allen.
Poor Allen can't catch a break...Hoshino seems to be rather cruel to him. It'll be interesting to see where the story all eventually leads.
I have a feeling the story maybe going back to the "Heart" now. I mean now we have a Noah/Ark and Innocence. And I think the Heart is what is going to save Allen's sanity. But what if Mana was the heart? I mean his brother was a Noah after all. But the only thing is we don't know what the Heart is only that its what? the Ultimate Innocence or something.
And I don't think Allen is going to give up so easily. He'll find a way to save himself. But you do have to wonder what would have happened had he not found the organization or Cross. He would still be alone. He might have even died before the 14th could even come back which would have put a real dent in his plans. And how was it done even?
In the chapter after Cross said Mana lost his mind after the 14th died and he was carrying Allen on his back, I wonder if that was when he just picked up the boy off the street. I really want to know more about Mana. These characters have such great past stories but we don't know them at all!!! >.<..
Oh and btw for Christi Mana said that he loved Allen but was like "You turned me into an Akuma" then bam cursed and then bam again Allen's arm goes nuts, earl disappears, and then Mana dies...again.
What happens to a soul when its tuned into an Akuma anyway? I mean we saw the nun disappear in the first chapter but what happened to the host's soul and then what of Akuma's that evolve. Do you think that Mana's soul instead of rising again just transfered to Allen?
It's a good point and gives some function that Allen can remove the 14th from himself, by getting rid of his curse.
Again it's not really a good and thought out theory, but possibly in some regards.
Being Awesome so you don't need to be!
Spoiler!Asce: i'm simply the man who guides your penis towards victory Deadfire
I was obsessed with the series before and these past few chapters... wow... just wow.
I'm dumbstruck. Why? Something that was so awesome before... I didn't think it could get better... but it did. I almost feel like I wish I was a part of it. It's the best story I've ever seen. It's become more than an obsession. I now worship Katsura Hoshino.
So the 14th picked Allen at random, i want to know MORE.
Brilliant chapter and i loved the art style that was in this chapter.
The anime is catching up to this too.

France 1868 – 1940
[Le sommeil] 1892
oil on canvas
canvas 33.0 (h) x 64.5 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchased from the aritst 1936
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
Images of sleep, dreams, or loss of consciousness brought on by alternate states—of the body in its 'pure' form, and therefore closer to nature—were a favourite Symbolist theme. Both of these works by Vuillard show the combined influence of Synthetism, Symbolism, and Japanese woodblocks. Painted a year apart, in these paintings Vuillard portrays his sleeper in highly simplified form, using blocks of pale tones, and line to break up the areas of paint. The figures are daringly stylised, merging into the bed and surrounds: these are ambiguous images, full of a humour which verges on caricature. In bed is an unusually large, almost monochromatic canvas, broadly painted and evoking the muffled silence of deep sleep and dreams. Sleep is smaller, but possibly more radical, its subdued complementary tones capturing a sense of drowsiness. Both compositions are based on a network of lines, the horizontals and verticals enlivened by diagonals of the bedclothes and, in the case of In bed, the sleeper's raised knees.
The neutral colour scheme of In bed is broken only by the face and hair of the figure, and the hovering 'T' shape—perhaps a traditional Christian cross, partially obscured by the canopy of the bed, or even a 'thought-bubble', the symbol of the sleeper's dreams. The signature on high is as arbitrarily placed as a watermark. The stripe of pale green at top is echoed by the section of floor below. As Salomon and Cogeval point out, there is striking contradiction between the emphatic flatness of the sheets and blankets, and the shadows cast by them—creating an illusion of depth.1 The luxuriously puffy pillows, and the proliferation of downy pale fabrics, serve to cushion and protect the sleeper from the world outside.
In Sleep, the overall effect is reminiscent of a woodblock. Rather than paint outlines, Vuillard allows sections of the maroon ground to show through, outlining the painted forms. Details, such as the cast-off slippers and the folded clothes on the chair, merge into the tones of brown, cream and olive-green—only the orange of the garment on the chair breaks the neutrality of the scene. In both works the fusion of the figures with their surrounds seems to prefigure Vuillard's large decorations such as Public gardens. In their solipsism and introversion, these works capture perfectly the uninterrupted sleep we all desire.
