Skinies is offering our readers a giveaway of a Skinies Slimming Open Cup Breastfeeding Cami, a value of $33.
This unique open-cup design is a discreet underlayer for comfortable nursing in public at any bra size.
The nursing cami dilemma — solved
When I first started breastfeeding, I really wanted a nursing cami — but my large cup size made it impractical. For one thing, it was pretty impossible to find one that fit. For another, I needed a lot more support than a simple shelf bra could give. I needed, in short, my own nursing bra on.When I discovered Skinies, through a giveaway win initially, I was so excited. It's like a supportive cami but with two holes cut out over your breasts: simple but ingenious.
It gives the main advantages of a nursing cami — simple, streamlined coverage — but allows you to wear your own bra. This means it works for pretty much any cup size!
How it works
You can put the Skinies on over your bra (left), or under your bra (right).
Having your bra on the bottom is what you'd intuitively think to do first, because that's the usual way you'd get dressed! In that case, you just slip your hand into the easily accessed hole in the front of the Skinies to reach the clasp of your nursing bra, pull the cup down, and latch on.
However, Skinies mentions in the packaging and on the website that it's actually just as valid to wear your bra over the Skinies cami. I was skeptical at first — wouldn't that be like wearing my underwear on the outside? Would it feel weird to have something on under my bra?
But, you know what, I actually prefer it that way! To the right I've shown what it looks like under my shirt when I wear the black Skinies with a nude bra on top. Obviously, as in the site's photos above, it's much more streamlined if you wear the same color bra as Skinies, but I purposely wore contrasting colors so you can see what's what. (The bumpy line inside my bra is just the edge of my nursing pad, by the by.)
The reason I like wearing my bra on top of the Skinies is that it's much easier to reach my nursing bra clasp. I don't have to reach up through the hole but just inside my shirt, as normal. Once I pull down the cup front, the Skinies hole is around my breast to provide an extra cleavage shield.
Skinies recommends wearing your bra on top especially if you're wearing contrasting colors or have a lighter colored shirt on top, so that the holes in the Skinies don't peek through. I can see how that would look odd! With my bra on top, I've never noticed any strange lines through my clothes.
It's also the way they recommend crafting your own dual-layer nursing cami:
Here's Jodie, the inventor of Skinies and a breastfeeding mama of six (6) little ones, demonstrating how it all works in a short video (less than a minute long):
My take
I really love the Skinies, and here's why:- I really appreciate that I can wear my own supportive nursing bra. This way, the Skinies accommodates a wide range of cup sizes. (I wear a 36H, in case anyone is wondering.)
- It's easy to use. As I said, I love putting my bra over the top — then I have just one clasp to undo that's easy to reach, and the Skinies is the foundation under it all keeping me covered.
- Speaking of which, it helps me feel comfortable about nursing in public. I don't preach discretion to anyone — I just personally prefer to have the top of my breasts covered as I breastfeed in public. The picture there is of me breastfeeding at a fair around 80,000 of my closest friends, but you can see I didn't have to worry that anyone could see anything interesting. As the site mentions, you could also wear this for pumping at work so you feel like you're covering up what you want to.
- It's the perfect layering piece for outfits that are otherwise hard to nurse in discreetly — like dresses or while using a baby carrier like a mei tai. As long as the neckline of your shirt or dress pulls down from the top, the Skinies will help fill in the gaps for you. Often, I'll pull my top shirt up from the bottom, so the Skinies is a nice change when it's easier to pull my shirt (or dress) down from the top.
- The Skinies gives a nice, slimming silhouette. It's got a little Spandex to it so that it hugs your length, but it doesn't bind like shapewear. It's just a nice extra touch of mental comfort if you have a postpartum tummy. (Raises hand.)
- On that note, the Skinies keeps my tummy, sides, and back covered. If I choose to pull my shirt up, the Skinies is a protective layer over parts I'd rather not show. You can see how my torso is covered in the picture to the right.
- The fabric is soft and comfortable, and I felt fine having the holes around my breasts under my bra — no pressure or marks.
Are there any improvements to make?
I'm happy that the sizes run from Small through 2X, and I think that will fit a variety of shapes. However, obviously there will be some people this will not accommodate. I did find that with an XL on me that I spent more time tugging down the cami than I'd wanted to — perhaps I should have ordered up a size or tucked the cami into my pants. (I had already ordered a size larger than my pre-pregnancy size due to the fact that I haven't lost my pregnancy weight.) I think garments with Spandex tend to ride up more than all-natural fabrics, so it might be just a factor of the materials.
One problem I had was that my breasts are just so dang large that I had to tug the Skinies fabric forward a bit when I was nursing to cover up more of the breast skin I wanted to. Otherwise, the hole tended to snug back against the base of my breast, exposing more skin than I felt comfortable with. Once I did tug it into place, though, it stayed pretty well for the feeding, so it wasn't really a problem. I think people with more small to average size breasts won't have this issue, but at least it's easily fixed.
I preferred not to wear the Skinies on top of my bra, because I found it fiddly to reach inside the hole to find my bra clasp. I'm sure I could get used to it if I needed to, but fortunately I can just wear my bra on top, so we're good!
I chose the new style without the decorative petals around the opening. I have a Skinies from before with the petals and like the decoration all right, but I found that sometimes the neckline of my shirts slipped low enough to show them. I think having no petals plus a matching color bra helps make the look underneath much more discreet in case of shirt slippage. (I can't be the only one whose necklines stretch out from breastfeeding, right?) However, I did still have a few occasions where I had to realign my bra and Skinies openings to make sure there was no sliver of skin between the two.
The price of $33 might be steep for some, though I think it's a worthy price, particularly since it supports a mom-run, breastfeeding-friendly business. It helps if you think of all the money you're saving by not needing to buy any other nursing-specific clothing beyond your nursing bras!
Nursing cami success!
Here we go, final recommendations: If you're going to buy just one nursing cami, I would go with a Skinies!It will fit you no matter what your wildly fluctuating cup size ends up doing. You can get the support you need with your own well-fitting bra instead of having to rely on some stretchy fabric to hold you and your nursing pads in place. And it will keep you covered, comfortably, from cleavage to tummy, letting you breastfeed in style and in confidence.
You can't beat that!

A wheel made of metal and plastic designed to fit the 2012 MYFord Focus SE has shown an increase of 1.1 MPG highway in third-party tests, compared to the car's standard production wheel. That's comparable to MPG improvements made by some low-roll tires.
Lacks Wheel Trim Systems' eVOLVE Hybrid Wheel mixes an aluminum structure with a foam filling and a plastic coating. The structure is made of A356-T6 low-pressure cast aluminum alloy, James Ardern, director of business development, told Design News. This is the same aluminum grade, and manufactured by the same low pressure cast process, as the Ford Focus BM5J-1007-DB production wheel.
The wheel's outer shell is made of a high-impact polycarbonate/ABS composite blend, which allows a more aerodynamic design, Ardern told us. Between the outer shell and the five-spoke aluminum structure is a high-density, two-part urethane foam, instead of more aluminum. Lacks tested its eVOLVE Hybrid Wheel, as well as two other wheels, on a North American 2012 MYFord Focus SE on the same day and the same test track. The other two wheels were the eVOLVE wheel's backbone, without its foam filling or coating, and the Ford Focus production wheel. All three are the same dimensions: 17 inch x 7 inch x 50 mm offset.
The production wheel weighs 23.7 lb; the backbone alone weighs 17.4 lb, and the complete eVOLVE Hybrid Wheel, including backbone, foam, and composite coating, weighs 19.2 lb. On-vehicle fuel economy testing was done to EPA standard SAE J2263 by third-party testing facility Roush Emissions Laboratory, which does the same EPA drive cycles for automotive OEMs. The backbone showed some improvement over the production wheel's fuel efficiency. "But it was less of a difference: increases of 0.1 MPG city and 0.5 MPG highway," said Ardern. Using the complete eVOLVE wheel, city improvement was 0.4 MPG, and highway, 1.1 MPG.
Weight reduction alone isn't enough to achieve those results. The other main factor is the eVOLVE wheel's improved aerodynamics. Lacks performed wind tunnel testing of several hybrid wheel designs at third-party aerodynamics testing facility Aerodyn, a NASCAR lab. Lacks then selected the best performing wheel design as the eVOLVE Hybrid Wheel for further testing, Ardern told us.
Compared to the Ford Focus production wheel, in static and rotating aerodynamics testing done to EPA standard SAE J2264 the winning eVOLVE wheel design had an overall vehicle drag coefficient improvement of nine counts. "The reduction of aero drag as well as a reduction in aero horsepower both contribute to the optimized aerodynamic profile, and ultimately to fuel economy performance," said Ardern.

Sometimes the costs when selling a house can really add up. Once you factor everything in, a traditional sale with a El Paso real estate agent may not be worth it. In our latest post, you can learn how to sell a house without spending any money in El Paso.
As a homeowner, you have likely considered what selling your house might mean for you. However, many homeowners avoid selling because they are worried about the costs, wasted time, or hurdles they will face when working with an agent. Before we discuss how to sell your house in El Paso without spending any money, lets first take a look at some of the costs home sellers may face when working with a El Paso real estate agent.
Typical Selling Costs
Before a house goes on the El Paso MLS, there will likely be some repairs that will need to be made to the house before selling. Even the cost of small repairs can add up quickly once you break it all down. Repairing walls and fixing leaky pipes can all lead to more repairs and more money out the door. Make repairs wisely and be sure to properly disclose anything you don't plan to fix. You should also consider repair requests that may be made after the potential buyer has completed their inspection phase. If the house isn't appraising high enough for the lenders liking, you might need to spend money increasing the value of the home.
Often times, homeowners will make upgrades to their property in order to keep it competitive with other homes on the market. While some upgrades can add value, there aren't any guarantees. Some upgrades don't add enough value to the property to be worth it.
Marketing can include many things including professional photography, drone services, premium listing placement, listings outside of what your agent provides, print materials, and much more. While some things are included in a typical listing agreement, others are not. To sell the property as quickly as possible, you may find yourself shelling out a little extra to make sure your property gets seen. Just make sure the things you are spending money on upfront make sense in the long run.
Listing + Agent Fees
While some agents are full service, never charging you a dime aside from commission… others are not. You may find yourself looking at separate fees for administrative costs, marketing expenses, or open house fees. Most agents won't require to be reimbursed for these things, however, if you are looking for top of the line services, you may find yourself paying a bit extra.
The agent commissions will amount to about 6% of the final sale price on average. This is a hefty amount to part with, so if you decide to list, make sure your agent is worth their fee! In some cases, you will be able to negotiate the commission rate or find an agent who offers limited service for a flat fee.
Closing Costs
Closing costs cover things such as a title search, surveys, and loan payoffs. While buyers will pay the majority of the closing costs a seller can expect to pay anywhere from 1-3% of the final sale price in closing costs. When you work with a professional buyer such as Quicksell Investors LLC to sell your house, the closing costs can be avoided.
Holding Costs
Plain and simple, it costs money to own a house. If the house is on the market for a while, you could be looking at a small fortune spent on things such as utility bills, homeowners insurance, property taxes, maintenance, landscaping, and a mortgage if applicable. When you sell your house quickly, it can equate to thousands in savings for things yu would otherwise be spending money on if your home is sitting on the MLS.
How To Sell It
Sell As-Is
Selling your house as-is will save you a fortune as long as you are able to get the property in front of the right buyers. Focus on showing the home's potential, even including a cost analysis showing an estimate of what the improvements will cost. You'll want to make sure investors and cash buyers
List It
A successful listing will require many of the costs listed above. Save money by choosing a full-service agent so there are no surprises. If you choose to sell without making repairs, consider offering credit for buyers to renovate as they see fit.
Sell To A Professional Buyer
Working with a professional seller such as the team at Quicksell Investors LLC will allow you to sell your house quickly and for a great price. We'll work with you to make the process as simple as possible, making sure you don't ever have to spend a dime.

Scientists often struggle to explain their work to us nonscientists. Art to the rescue!
In a new collaboration, artists are taking the inventions of teenage scientists and turning them into posters. Science inspires art. And the art inspires questions.
Why are umbrellas shimmering under the stars?
Because a teenager in Sri Lanka figured out how to use the positions of the starts to accurately predict rainfall.
Why is paint slithering across the canvas in a sinuous brushstroke?
Because a student in Florida invented a rudderlike device that could stop cars from sliding on slippery roads, improving traction and avoiding deadly accidents.
Why is there an ambulance and a hospital inside that injured person?
Because three teens in Costa Rica invented software that makes it quick and easy for ambulance medics to share patient data with the hospitalusing a mobile phone.
"I wanted to show that when medical systems are better integrated, they allow rescue teams to share a common image of the patient every step of the way," says Thomas Ng. The Brooklyn-born graphic designer was commissioned to illustrate the real-time medical data transfer system by SciArt,an art-meets-science mashup from the folks at Intel, which sponsors the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. He's one of dozens of artists asked to make art based on the science fair participants' innovations.
The seriousness of the students' intent set the tone for his art, Ng told NPR. "There's a lot of weight to this," he told himself. "I shouldn't take it lightly and design it like I would a movie poster."
But he also wanted to make sure that the scientists' goal was clear: "Life or death. You should know immediately what this poster means."
The desire to connect patient, ambulance and hospital inspired a wirelike line. And the line becomes the patient.
In the end, the artist says, helping the scientists communicate their ideas was more important than making something pretty. "These projects genuinely do make the world a better place," he said of the scientists' work.
So does art that gets the word out — and is beautiful, too.

Searching for a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA that suits your needs is not always simple. Relying solely on word of mouth or search engines can mean a series of false starts, wasting time and money. AgencyComparison's free and intuitive comparison tool has been created to meet this issue, matching your business with the affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA that it gels with best. To go through our step-by-step guide below, begin by registering with AgencyComparison for free.
What are the Benefits of Comparing Agencies?
Comparison tools have long been popular for a variety of services, resulting in a host of benefits for both suppliers and buyers. At AgencyComparison, we came to realise that, despite appearing like the best choice, a client's unique requirements frequently could not always be catered for by their chosen agency, with one or both parties often becoming disappointed by a lack of results.
That is why we developed our unique comparison platform. Unlike comparison tools for energy or insurance providers that focus on finding the cheapest deal available, our comparison tool has been developed to match agency and clients as accurately as possible whilst still considering budget. This is achieved by a variety of factors:
- Our use of AI, machine learning and data science.
- A thorough maintenance of accounts on our platform.
- Our years of experience working with agencies from a range of sectors.
- The intuitively simple design of our platform allowing buyers to search effectively.
By providing a competitive and fair platform, you may unearth an exciting affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA that is not as established when using typical agency sourcing methods. Here are just some of the unique areas that agency comparison can develop for your business:
Will There Be More Agencies Available to Me?
Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of our comparison tool is the range of agencies it makes available to you. By simply having more agencies available to you, the chances of finding one that fits your business's requirements increases significantly.
With larger, more established, agencies being by far the most talked about or visible, it is easy to assume that they will automatically be the most capable. This, however, is not always the case. Every client has different needs and expectations. So, while the most well-known affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA has made a name for itself, this does mean that this will also be the case for your business. By providing as wide a selection to choose from as possible, your business can compare and contrast the individual merits of each agency with the unique demands of your project in mind. Whether this is an agency's history, or its unique selling points, using our comparison tool can provide a broad and clear overview of the options available to you. By placing a range of agencies side-by-side, those that don't fit with your project can be quickly ruled out in favour of those better suited. This means that less time is wasted researching various agencies or in discussion with them.
How does AgencyComparison Guarantee Effective Matching?
Another advantage that results from using AgencyComparison's unique tool is that you have much more control over your relationship with your selected affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA. From the tailored selection process that means you are able to choose the agencies that will most directly offer the most to your project, to relationship maintenance, we promise that clients will be satisfied with their supplier.
Once you have chosen an agency for your project, both you and your supplier will receive a mutual NDA template. This is there to guarantee that your relationship is protected from the offset. By ensuring that both parties are comfortable sharing their unique methods and thoughts with one another, the relationship can be sure to have no early limitations. Once this NDA template has been signed, we strongly recommend that this is then uploaded to our platform, for each party's peace of mind.
If, for whatever reason, you are unsatisfied with the progress an agency has made on your project, this is not an issue either. Should this be the case, we promise to mediate the relationship or, if required, find a replacement supplier. By having us mediate or switch over the contract, you do not need to worry about it being a drawn out process.
Will I have More Control by Comparing Agencies?
When searching for a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA through more typical routes, such as search engines or word of mouth, it is common to commit to an agency before being shown specifically what they will do for your project. When using AgencyComparison.com, you have considerably more insight into how each agency will approach your project and, resultantly, more control over the direction of the relationship.
With the ability to compare and contrast agencies through AgencyComparison.com without having to make a contractual commitment, you can greatly reduce the likelihood of a mismatch. Similarly, an agency's work history and feedback is user-defined. So, unlike the hand-picked testimonials that will often be found on an agency's website, all ratings are sourced from other projects they have taken on within AgencyComparison.com.
Project-Specific Pitches
With the complex terminology and marketing jargon that it is easy to encounter when researching a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA, it can be difficult to determine which best fits your project. When using AgencyComparison, your project comes first. By clearly outlining your project, you can quickly receive project-specific pitches from your favourite shortlisted agencies. This makes the selection process significantly easier. When an agency pitch makes clear how it will address the individual stages of your project, their merits are much more clear.
Project-specificity in the selection process also means that you may discover smaller agencies that are just as effective despite not being as established as others. It may be, for example, that your project will be developed best by the specialist approach of a smaller affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA. This is especially true if your business works within an industry niche. Or, conversely, it may be better handled by the more routine full service of a larger agency. In any case, when pitches are analysed next to each other, it is easier to understand their individual merits for your project.
Can I Manage More than One Agency?
With the tracking capabilities of AgencyComparison.com, it is also possible to manage all your projects in one place. This means that progress can be effectively tracked and compared across ongoing projects, highlighting their individual strengths and weaknesses. Simply visit the 'Projects' area of your account and analyse each project's progress reports side-by-side.
The ability to manage all projects within a single platform also provides the added advantage of less communication needed internally across teams or departments. By being able to have the same team member monitor projects across IT, Digital or Tech-related agencies, for example, the business's overall progress from a range of projects can be more easily determined whilst time is saved that might usually be spent relaying information over email or in meetings. This means that, not only can the management process become more coherent across projects, but there can also be a sizeable reduction in labour costs.
How are Agencies Sourced?
By allowing agencies and clients to register with AgencyComparison.com for free, we ensure that everyone has an equal platform to tender services on. This means that, when searching for a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA, you will have a varied range of potential suppliers to choose from beyond the most established that you may have already encountered. This accessibility also means that, just like comparison tools for other services, there is increased competitiveness amongst suppliers. With less-experienced agencies being able to directly compete with more popular suppliers, you may find that you receive a much better deal than anticipated.
While there are a broad range of options when searching through AgencyComparison.com, our smart comparison tool will only show you those that are likely to fit your needs. This is because each affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA that comes up in your search is selected intelligently. Utilising AI, machine learning and data science, you can be sure that your search will only show appropriate agencies.
How do I Begin Comparing Each affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA?
Before comparing agencies, it is worth considering your budget and the service that you require. Budget is particularly important as this will have a direct influence over which agencies pitch to you. With this in mind, thoroughly understanding what it is that you require from an agency will assist you in making your selection. This can be guaranteed by being as concise as possible in your project's goals. So, if you have a tender for your project already, this is worth uploading to your account.
With AgencyComparison.com, beginning to compare agencies for your project is made simple by our intuitive interface. Simply follow our step-by-step guide to see for yourself how easy it is to find a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA that fits your business best:
Signing up
To start comparing quotes and pitches for one of your projects, you will need to first registering an account. To do this, simply click 'Register For Free' from the top right corner of the AgencyComparison.com home page. On the account creation page, you will then need to specify whether you are wanting to register as an agency or a buyer, along with your details.
Once these have been entered, you will receive an email confirming that you have created your account. Following this, all you need to do is sign in with your details.
Add details to your profile
After signing in, start by filling in the details of your account so that any interested agencies can find out more about your business. This will also increase the likelihood of agencies pitching for your projects. Similarly, adding a link to any reviews or testimonials about your business will help establish your business to any interested suppliers. Once happy that you have completed your profile, click 'Update'.
Search and shortlist agencies
After doing this, return to the home page, select a service from the drop down menu and then enter in your post code or city. Doing this will ensure that every affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA that suits your requirements is shown.
Refine your search
Filtering your search can be an effective way to remove options that you may wish to avoid, such as those with low ratings or none at all. Similarly, it can be useful way to rediscover a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA that you had previously liked but forgot to shortlist. Simply sort results alphabetically if you can remember the name of the supplier or search by keyword.
Explore and Shortlist your Favourite Agencies
To start the next part of your comparison, visit the profiles that you like the look of most. An agency's rating, work history, feedback, and certificates are all worth consideration at this stage. Should you like the profile of a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA after looking over it, return to your search results and click 'Add to Shortlist' at the right of the profile. Shortlisting profiles will include them in your comparison and mean that you receive quotes and pitches from them should they be interested in your project.
Create a project
Before you can request quotes from your shortlisted suppliers, however, you must create a project. To do this, click 'Projects' at the top right of the home screen whilst signed in. Once this has been done, you will be on a page like the one above. From this page, click 'Submit New Project' from the menu bar along the left side of the screen. Once on this page, you will need to enter some details relating to your project:
- Minimum and maximum budget
- The project's specific service requirements
- A proposed start date
- Details about your project – this can be in the box provided or, should you already have a tender, this can be attached as a document.
After inputting the details of your pitch, click 'Submit'. This will then send an alert to your shortlisted agencies about your project. As pitches can take a while to prepare, it is advised that you have your email alerts enabled so you know when they have been received. Accounts will receive email alerts by default, so you will only need to change this if you disabled email alerts when signing up.
Select from pitches
To start looking through your proposals, simply visit your account's 'Projects' area and then click on 'Pending Proposals' from the menu along the left. When you are on this page you will be able to see all of your pitches and accept or reject them whenever you please. When you have accepted a proposal, your project will become live and can be seen in the 'Active Projects' area. Within this area, there are a number of other features to take note of:
- Invoices – Manage the financial side of your relationship with a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA
- Leave Feedback – Detail your experiences with any agencies that you have worked with
- Project Reports – Analyse the results of your project
- Chat Conversations – Communicate with suppliers within AgencyComparison.com'
This is particularly helpful if you have a number of active projects that you would like to manage side-by-side. By being able to track projects more routinely in our platform, it is much easier to identify issues and growth for yourself without needing to rely on an agency's own reports.

If you happen to have a shortlist within AgencyComparison.com but would like to compare an agency that does not have an account with us, you can sent them an invite to sign up. This is especially helpful for the pitch selection process where being able to compare pitches within the same area can make things a bit easier to keep on top of. It also means that, should you prefer an agency's proposal that does not already have an account with us, your relationship is still protected and can be managed within our platform. This can ensure that tracking a project's progress is simple and makes switching agencies easier should this be needed in the future.
How much does it cost?
When clients use AgencyComparison.com there are no costs, hidden or otherwise. Without any sign up or subscription fees, this means you can comfortably manage every stage of your project without any timing or budget constraints. Simply sign up below, create a project and manage any pitches that you receive.
Once a pitch has been accepted, projects can still continue to be managed without any costs incurred for the buyer. When a contract has been secured between you and a supplier, the agency will be charged a 10% monthly fee of their service costs. This will, however, not affect the price of your service.
What is Management Procurement?
If preferred, AgencyComparison.com can also manage your agency procurement for you for a small 10% charge of your agreed monthly fee. This is particularly helpful if you are not familiar sourcing a affiliate marketing agency in Albuquerque, USA or would just rather cut out the middle man.

At times, it can be difficult to think of ways to give back to others. You want to make a difference, but how? Do you volunteer at another organization? Add more money to your donation? The options can feel endless… and overwhelming.
If you strive to live an altruistic lifestyle, there are lots of ways to serve others, and most of them don't have to be grandiose or extravagant. They're simply conscious, selfless decisions during day-to-day activities. Even a small gesture can have a huge influence on the people around you. To give a few ideas, here are easy things you can do to brighten someone's day.
1. Share a compliment.
Compliments go a long way towards brightening someone's day. Even a simple accolade, such as, "Your hair looks nice," or, "You have such a fun personality" can change someone's entire perspective for the day. If you notice something you like about a person, take the time to share it with them.
2. Pick up extra chores.
For your friends, family members or roommates, offer to pick up extra chores around the house. If you notice dirty dishes in the sink, clean them. Or, if you see that someone's laundry is still in the dryer, offer to fold it. Chores can be exhausting, so taking something off someone's plate can really make a difference.
3. Pay the bill.
Whether you're out with loved ones or standing in line at a restaurant filled with strangers, cheer someone up by paying the bill. This doesn't have to be anything big or expensive; even receiving a small meal for free is exciting. Spend a little money and go the extra mile to perk someone up.
4. Leave kind notes.
Similar to a compliment, but in note form! When was the last time you received a kind note—particularly a note from a stranger? See if you can leave a kind note for your loved one, or even someone random. For example, leave a sticky note on a public bathroom mirror for the next person to find.
5. Say thank you.
Gratitude makes a huge difference in someone's day. If there's a person in your life who helps you, supports you or who has made a difference, take a moment to simply say thank you. Send them a message, call or go for the handwritten note. Tell them the impact they've had and thank them for everything they've done.
6. Start a conversation.
Sometimes the best conversations are those random ones you experience with strangers in random places. Take a chance and step outside your comfort zone to start a conversation with someone new today. Who knows? You could be exactly what that person needed to brighten their day.
7. Give unexpected gifts.
We expect gifts on our birthdays and holidays, but what about all of the miscellaneous days in between? Make a difference in someone's life by surprising them with a small, unexpected gift. This can be for your closest family member, the teacher at your school or even the barista you regularly see at the coffee shop.
Altruism means more than volunteering at a nonprofit or donating money. While these things matter, there are also lots of little activities you can do daily to make a difference. Consider these ideas and see how you can put them into action to brighten someone's day.

King James Version
Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

As noted in various publications, trillions of dollars of U.S. economic activity are sensitive to weather (Dutton 2002), with nearly a half-trillion dollars of variability in our economy due to weather (Lazo et al., 2011). Furthermore, the U.S. experiences a wide range of severe weather conditions (tornadoes, hurricanes, severe convection, windstorms, snowstorms) that not only results in economic impacts, but the loss of hundreds to thousands of lives a year from intense weather.
The U.S. should have the best weather prediction capability in the world. We have the world's most extensive weather research community and many key weather prediction breakthroughs have occurred here, including the first numerical weather prediction. We also spend more money on weather prediction than anyone else and our private sector meteorological community is large and vigorous.
But the sad truth is that we are lagging behind the world leaders, and are even farther behind our inherent capabilities. The loss to the nation, both in lives and economic value, is immense and unnecessary. It is time to face up to the problems and fix them.
This year a National Academy of Sciences committee, asked to evaluate the National Weather Service (NWS), completed a report: Weather Service for the Nation: Becoming Second to None. The implication of this report is clear: the National Weather Service is no longer the world leader in weather prediction.
During Hurricane Sandy, much of the media discussed how the best forecasting system for predicting Sandy was not American, rather it was the model of the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) in Reading, England. Even USAToday (see graphic) and the NBC Nightly News talked about U.S. inferiority. When the popular media are talking about U.S. weather prediction inferiority, you know you are in trouble.
But the problems are worse than inferior global weather prediction, which are confirmed by the statistics on the NWS's own web site. The U.S. is falling behind in the next generation forecasting technology based on ensembles of many forecasts: probabilistic prediction. Furthermore, the head of the NWS was recently forced to retire when financial irregularities in the NWS budget were found, and mismanagement of the acquisition of a new generation of polar orbiting satellites threatens to produce a gap in critical satellite coverage. And there is a lot more that I will not mention now.
It is not that the National Weather Service isn't making a huge contribution today--it is. NWS forecasts during the days before hurricane Sandy were extraordinarily useful, saving property and many lives. Few government agencies provide such a valuable, useful product. And the NWS is staffed with dedicated, talented, and well-educated forecasters, researchers, and other employees. But it is undeniable that this organization is a shadow of what it could be: the dominant weather prediction entity of the planet backed by the largest national research enterprise and the largest private sector weather sector in the world.
The impact of not being the best is costing the U.S. billions, if not tens of billions of dollars per year, and many lives.
In this blog, I will describe some of the problems and how they might be addressed. This is going to be a very frank evaluation, perhaps too frank. And let's be clear up front: the issues are both long-standing and aren't limited to the National Weather Service, they extend into NOAA management and higher. And without fundamental change, the nation will continue to be served by a critical organization not realizing its potential.
Let me now discuss a few of the problems I see, starting with the most easily addressed first.
Problems 1: the lack of computer resources.
The National Weather Service efforts in global and national prediction are being undermined by lack of computer power. This is not just my opinion--ask leaders inside the weather service, National Academy committees, or knowledgeable folks in the field and they will tell you the same thing. Why are ECMWF's forecasts so much better than the NWS's? A big part of it is that ECMWF has the computer power to run their high-resolution global forecast at 16 km resolution, while ours is 25 km, their ensemble forecasting system has twice the resolution, and they can use an advanced data assimilation approach (4DVAR) that requires a lot of computer resources.
Consider the difference in the computer resources available to ECMWF versus the National Weather Service's Environmental Modeling Center (EMC), and keep in mind that EMC has a much wider range of responsibility (includes high resolution national and regional forecasting) than ECMWF (which does only global forecasting).
ECMWF has two machines, each with 24546 cores and a computational ability of .75 petaflops (thousand trillion floating point operations per second). These machines are #37 and 38 on the worldwide list of top 500 computers. The National Weather Service has two computers that are not even on the top 500 list. Each has 4992 processors and an ability to do .07 petaflops. You see the problem? The NWS has less than 10% of the computer power as ECMWF and has many more responsibilities.
Ironically, NOAA (of which the NWS is part) and other government agencies have some very big machines (NOAA's Fairmont, .38 petaflop, DOE's Sequoia and Titan-20, 27 petaflops), which are NOT being used for weather prediction but climate prediction and other needs. Kind of ironic we have huge computer power available for climate prediction, but not for predicting the weather today that critically influences U.S. citizens. A year ago, at the dedication of the new coastal radar, I was having lunch with the head of the NWS and Senator Maria Cantwell. The NWS head admitted that U.S. weather prediction no longer led the world and that lack of computer power was an issue. Senator Cantwell could not believe it, noting how many powerful computers Congress had authorized for national needs.
So why is the NWS stuck with such inferior computers? It is not like my colleagues at the NWS are not clambering for them. First, the NWS/NOAA computer acquisition managers have made poor choices, playing it safe with extremely expensive, "heavy metal" IBM hardware rather than less costly commodity chips (like Intel Nehalem cores). Second, it is clear that NWS and NOAA management have not given NWS computer acquisition sufficient priority, a clear indication of management failure, since they have known of this situation for years.
Recently, NOAA/NWS signed a TEN-YEAR agreement keeping IBM and its gold-plated hardware as the choice for the NWS (IBM is finally going to use commodity chips, I should point out, but IBM is still very, very expensive). Unbelievable. Why commit to long-term deal with an expensive vendor? Experienced computer folks I know were just shaking their heads.
How to fix this problem. NOAA management has to immediately secure funding for a petaflop-class machine for operational numerical weather prediction (NWP). Another approach would be to immediately reassign the use of the computer resources already in NOAA (e.g., Fairmont) or other agencies (e.g., DOE) from climate to weather prediction. We need some rebalancing of priorities. For the price of one expensive military jet, the nation could have far better weather prediction.
Bu the problems with the National Weather Service extend far beyond computer power.
Problem 2: Structural deficiencies of how the National Weather Services organizes its research and operations regarding weather modeling.
Case in point: the weather modeling and the research that support it are not in the same organization.
Operational weather prediction is found in the National Weather Service's Environmental Modeling Center (EMC, located in DC), while most of the research and development is location in NOAA's Office of Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research (OAR). So the director of EMC and the head of the NWS DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE RESEARCH THAT SUPPORTs THEIR OPERATIONS. Much of the relevant research is being done in Boulder at NOAA's Earth Systems Environmental Lab (ESRL), while other research is completed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab (GFDL) in Princeton (hurricane modeling) and additional venues. The folks in NOAA OAR and the NWS EMC often are not well coordinated, have different ideas on how to proceed, and frequently evince a competitive attitude towards the other.
NWS Organizational Chart |
Possible Solution: Concentrate government operational modeling and most Federal modeling research in Boulder, Colorado, by moving EMC to that city. Boulder is the intellectual center of weather prediction modeling in the U.S. Not only is the NOAA ESRL lab there, but the center of research modeling--the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)-- is there as well. Boulder is a much more attractive and central location for attracting visitors and employees than the suburbs of DC. It makes sense for the Environmental Modeling Center (which includes oceans and atmosphere) to be in NOAA, rather than the NWS. And a formal connection with NCAR should be made as well, including long-term support of research and technology transfer, as well as adding the NCAR Developmental Testbed Center (DTC). The statistical postprocessing folks in MDL should join the new organization. In short, a highly integrated and comprehensive group--encompassing weather prediction operations and research should be established in Boulder, Colorado. The impact of doing so will be substantial and positive.
Problem 3: Poor leadership in the National Weather Service and NOAA.
Visionary leadership has been absent from the National Weather Service for a number of years. For decades it has been the pre-retirement home of colonels, generals and admirals, with a number of them never mastering the complex technologies for which they were responsible. Just to give you an idea, here are the recent heads of the NWS:
Colonel Elbert Friday, 1988-1997 (USAF, but did have a Ph.D. in the field)
General Jack Kelly, USAF, 1998-2003
General David Johnson, USAF (ex-pilot) 2004-2006
Colonel Jack Hayes, USAF (weather officer with Ph.D) 2007-2012
Importantly, these military leaders brought many military folks into middle management positions in the NWS. The military leaders of the NWS had a varied meteorological background, ranging from virtually nothing to Ph.Ds; most had a priority of keeping the ship afloat, versus scientific/technical excellence. They had all managed large organizations before, but clearly many of them did not have a clear vision of how to lead a science-based, technological organization. During their tenure, the NWS slid from number one in weather prediction to secondary status, with problems like those noted here festering and worsening.
A new, high-level position was created recently in NOAA to oversee NOAA operations (including weather prediction). You will never guess his background: an admiral. And he is promoting a failed bureaucratic approach in which all the weather agencies will somehow work on the same models, called NUOPC.
I am not saying that generals and admirals can't be effective leaders for a highly scientific civilian agency. But as documented in Thomas Rick's bestselling book, The Generals, our military leadership has become strong on tactics and weak on strategy and vision. It has certainly been true of their management of the National Weather Service.
I should be clear that NOAA management is also heavily indicted in NWS problems, since the issues really encompass the combined NOAA/NWS entity. The NWS has suffered from lack of resources from NOAA and the U.S. government. In fact, the previous head of the NWS Jack Hayes tried to get more resources from NOAA management, but was rebuffed. As the NWS has slid, few in NOAA leadership seemed to have noticed or cared. Neither has Congress, until recently.
Solution: The NWS director position is now open after two failed searches (a story in itself). This time find a civilian leader with strong scientific credentials and a credible vision of the future of the organization. If possible, someone with fresh insights from outside of the organization.
Problem 4: Poor organization of other key National Weather Service components
There are some strong components of the National Weather Service, such as the local office structure that allows forecasters to become intimately knowledgeable about their local weather and to effectively interact with regional agencies, governments, and users. (I have heard rumors that some in NOAA leadership have proposed to destroy this structure, closing offices into regional forecasting centers. This would be a disaster).
But large amounts of staff and funds are wasted on the division of the NWS into regions, each with its own leadership and bureaucracy (Eastern, Western, Central, Southern, Alaska, Pacific). I have a lot of friends in the NWS and most of them believe the region system is outdated and wasteful.
There are also national centers whose functions are redundant with local offices. A prime example is the NWS Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC), which makes all sorts of precipitation forecasts and prepares old-fashioned surface charts. Nearly all of their functions are redundant with local offices or could easily be done locally. My colleagues in local NWS offices believe this as well.
Possible Solution: End the region structure and integrate all functions into an improved national structure. Reduce or eliminate the HPC and other unnecessary centers.
Problem 5: Lack of rational observing system planning
Recently, the media has been abuzz with the expected gap in polar-orbiter weather satellite coverage, suggesting weather forecasting skill would decline. The NOAA/NWS polar orbiter acquisition program has been characterized by mismanagement for years, not only delaying the next generation satellites, but costing the nation billions of dollars. Even Jane Lubchenco, head of NOAA, acknowledged the polar orbiter satellite acquisition had become a "national embarrassment." But the problems are deeper than satellite development and acquisition.
JPSS Polar Orbiter Satellite |
Problem 6: Lack of interactions/cooperation with the meteorological community
The National Weather Service is a major component of the weather prediction enterprise, but only one part. A large academic research community produces scientific and technological advances that the NWS needs to support and take advantage of. A large and healthy U.S. meteorological private sector uses NWS model output and observations to provide a wide range of weather products for the nation. Thus, the NWS cannot act in a vacuum and needs close interactions with the entire community. Decisions on everything from modeling to data formats need close cooperation between the NWS and the rest of the community.
Unfortunately, this has not been the case. The National Weather Service, and particularly its weather prediction entity, EMC, have had a tendency towards isolation, lack of openness to other approaches ("not invented here attitude"), and a habit of putting out plans without much community input. The fruits of nation's research community are not flowing in the National Weather Service. In fact, foreign centers (such as ECMWF) have been the eager recipients of U.S. research and development advances, when NWS has shown lack of interest. A good example of the problem occurred in the late 90s when a new modeling system (WRF, Weather Research and Forecasting Model) was developed that was going to bring the academic and research communities together, to the great benefit of both. The NWS then decided it wanted to use its own model, one that was inferior by objective standards.
Another example: National Academy committees and the private sector have recommended and pleaded over the past decade for the NWS set up a formal advisory committee to provide community input; such an advisory board still does not exist. Recently, Tom Bogdan, head of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, is working to set up an alternative advisory group: the Weather Commission. Perhaps that might be a fruitful approach to the problem.
You would expect that the NWS would provide substantial grant support to universities working on research with applications to NWS goals. You would be wrong. Funding for extramural research has been miniscule, and such research is the first thing to be cut when NWS budgets get tight. Believe me, I know about this intimately.
The insularity of NWS personnel has recently been substantially enhanced by the cancellation of nearly all travel to important meteorological conferences and workshops. A penny wise, pound foolish policy at best.
Finally, documents describing NWS future plans are generally vague and uninformative, with heavy reliance on catchy, essentially meaningless, phrases such as "weather-ready nation." (It is amusing to listen to how many times administrators and managers like to mention that line). If you want to see what I mean, check out their latest "strategic plan." Where is the specific plan for becoming the number one weather prediction entity in the world, with adequate computers and staff? That plan you won't find anywhere.
This blog is getting long, and there is a long list of NWS issues that I haven't gotten to, including profound problems at the National Climatic Data Center, the national repository of weather and climate information (it is extremely hard to get relevant weather/climate data, particularly for someone without an intimate knowledge of NWS datasets). Or the ill-fated attempt to create a parallel National Climate Service. And when I talk to middle-level managers in the NWS they complain about powerful unions that slow down innovation and new ways of doing business.
The National Weather Service and NOAA are simply not providing the nation with the quality weather forecasts and weather information they should, and a substantial amount of public funds are not being used effectively. Which is a terrible shame considering the need, the extraordinary talent within both NOAA and the NWS, and the nation's scientific dominance in the field.
Better, more visionary, management is needed. It is become more than clear that current NOAA/NWS management are incapable of fixing the problems themselves. Congress, with its oversight responsibilities, must intervene and the meteorological community must weigh in on needed changes.
This blog is going to get me in trouble with some, I know that, but the stakes are too high and the importance to the nation is too great to keep silent.

Heel pain is an extremely common and potentially disruptive affliction that has many possible causes, including stress fractures, arthritis, nerve irritation, cysts, tendonitis and most often, plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the tissue that connects the heel to the toes becomes inflamed. This inflammation causes pain on the bottom of the heel that can continue to grow in intensity over time.
You may be prone to developing this painful condition if the mechanics of your feet aren't ideal, such as flat feet or excessively high arches, or if you have poor alignment in your feet that causes you to walk on the inner or outer edges of your feet. Overweight individuals may be more likely to develop plantar fasciitis and it can occur from spending hours on the feet in shoes that offer little or no support.
Treatment options for plantar fasciitis included an effective stretching regimen, icing, footwear modifications, anti-inflammatory medications and weigh reduction to lessen the impact on the feet. More severe cases may be treated with additional padding and orthotic devices, the use of a walking cast, night splints and physical therapy. If you are experiencing heel pain, visit with one of our podiatry specialists to learn if you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis.

Republican dreams of taking control of the U.S. Senate in November have been declared all but dead over the past several days by prognosticators pointing to trouble facing the party in unexpected places.
Missouri and Indiana come to mind.
But don't count Senate race analyst Jennifer Duffy among them.
"I'm not ready to call this done and over," Duffy said of the GOP's push to pick up four seats, which would definitely tip the Senate balance of power. "We seem to be in some period of transition. Whether it's permanent or not, we'll know in a couple weeks."
She rates as pure tossups Senate races in Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Virginia and Wisconsin. Six of those seats are currently held by Democrats; four, by Republicans.
"We don't make snap judgments," said Duffy, who analyzes and rates Senate races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
There's a dearth of recent and reliable Senate polls in states with contests that appear unexpectedly competitive, including those in Indiana and North Dakota, where GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is leading President Obama by double digits but Democratic Senate candidates are threatening.
Even the cautious Duffy wrote early this month that Democrats have a "fighting chance" of holding their Senate majority — currently at 53-47 — despite losing seven incumbents to retirement and having to defend 23 seats this November. Republicans will be defending 10 seats they currently hold.
Republicans need to capture four seats currently held by Democrats; three if Romney wins, allowing his vice president to provide the vote to break 50-50 deadlocks.
The Democrats' majority includes two independent senators who caucus with the party, Joseph Lieberman from Connecticut, who is retiring, and Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
If there was any evidence needed as to why the GOP's once highflying takeover hopes have diminished to the point of tossup, look no further than Friday's Senate debate in Missouri.
That's where Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill — once one of the party's most vulnerable incumbents — is now leading in the polls and debated her GOP opponent, Rep. Todd Akin, a Tea Party conservative, as well as third-party Libertarian candidate Jonathan Dine.
First question out of the box?
Moderator: "The Missouri Senate race was thrust into the national spotlight last month after a remark that Congressman Akin made about women's bodies having ways of avoiding pregnancy in cases of legitimate rape. The congressman has apologized repeatedly, so to what extent do you think this comment should still matter? And in what context do you think voters should consider it on Election Day?"
Akin downplayed; McCaskill said her opponent's comments "open the window to his views"; and Dine characterized the rape comment as insensitive and astonishing coming from a congressman who sits on the House science committee.
Duffy has rated the Missouri contest a likely win for McCaskill.
"Tuesday is Akin's drop-dead day to get out of the race and he's not going to," she said. "I think some people misunderstand what's going on here — this is a woman who spent almost $2 million to get Akin as her opponent."
Duffy was referring the McCaskill's and Democrats' spending on ads critical of Akin's two Republican primary opponents.
"She is not going to let up now," Duffy says. "She's run one heckuva campaign."
The Republicans' Senate fortunes had taken a difficult turn before Akin's rape comment, which came shortly after he defeated more moderate primary opponents. Tea Party conservative Richard Mourdock in May defeated incumbent GOP Sen. Dick Lugar in the party's Indiana primary.
But it wasn't until Akin made his "legitimate rape" comment in a local interview, and his refusal to heed calls from his own party to get out of the race, that things began to go seriously wobbly for Republicans.
Mourdock, the state treasurer, is in a dead-heat race with Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly in Indiana. Democrat Heidi Heitkamp is barely trailing Republican Rick Berg in North Dakota. Democratic Sen. Jon Tester is in a dead-heat race in Montana with Denny Rehberg. All are states where Romney's lead over Obama has been measured in the double digits.
Recent polls also suggest that Democrat Elizabeth Warren is creeping ahead of Republican Sen. Scott Brown in Massachusetts, a state where Obama is leading Romney in the polls by nearly 23 points.
And in the Virginia matchup between two former governors, Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican George Allen, the numbers are starting to track with the presidential race polls that show Obama with a small but consistent lead.
The surprise for Democrats is in reliably blue Connecticut, where Republican Linda McMahon spent the most money ever in a Senate campaign — more than $50 million of her own money — in her 2010 double-digit loss to Democrat Richard Blumenthal. But McMahon is now in a dead-heat race with Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy.
Duffy's favorite races? "I like Connecticut and North Dakota, because the states are not behaving the way they're supposed to be behaving," she said.
Senate debate season is now under way, though Duffy says she views them as she would an Olympic figure skating competition.
"I want to see the really big jump, and I want to see them fall down," she said. "The rest is just good skating. Most of the debates will be really just good skating."
With 46 days to go, no partisan national wave, a slew of tossups, and prospective voters really taking a look at candidates as individuals, Duffy says, the answer to the question, "who will control the Senate?" may not even be clear election night.

All sellers with homes built prior to 1978 are required to fill out a lead-based paint disclosure form and provide you, the buyer, with a lead-based paint educational booklet in any sale. Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes.
Lead may cause a range of health effects, from behavioral problems and learning disabilities, to seizures and death. Children 6 years old and under are most at risk, because their bodies are growing quickly.
On the other hand, there are millions of homes with lead paint out there, and many have been painted and repainted several times so the lead paint is well covered up. If in doubt, have the paint tested and evaluated either at a local laboratory, or with one of the home test kits available at your local hardware store.

In general dentistry, the dentist is the primary care provider for patients of all ages and is responsible for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions, disorders and diseases affecting the teeth, gums and maxillofacial (jaw and face) parts of the body. Even though general dentists primarily provide preventative care and minor restorative therapy, they are often able to perform a wide array of other dental procedures, including some minor cosmetic treatments.
General Dentistry – The first line of defense against oral health problems
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that patients visit their general dentist at least once every six months to ensure proper oral health and functionality. Regular oral health check-ups and maintenance help to prevent the development of serious dental problems that may require more extensive and costly treatments. General dentists are highly educated and trained in multiple facets of dentistry, providing a variety of different services for you and your family.
Here's the list of some General Dentistry Services:
- Crowns and bridges
- Dentures
- Dental implants
- Gum disease (Periodontal) treatment
- Orthodontics
- Root canal therapy
- Teeth cleanings
- Bonding
- Dental fillings
General dentists who do not perform a certain treatment will provide you with a specialist referral.

"Passionate and humble, John Trippe created a website to share his photos and art in 2000, what ended up happening was the creation and curation of a successful art sharing template that would inspire an entire movement online.
John moved to San Francisco to pursue skateboarding and art. Before long he was publishing his own art 'zine called Fecal Face, and when digital publishing when in its infancy he released fecalface.com. The website would go on to spread art across 50,000 unique visitors a day and inspire generations on how you can adapt to do what you love on your own terms.
Fecal Face celebrated it's 10 Year anniversary at The Luggage Store Gallery, a location he had been inspired by as a young art fan in San Francisco. In this episode we follow John as prepare for the blowout group show and reflect on the website's past and future."
I am more than honored to be included in the 2nd season of the series, The Creative Lives, featuring a slew of talented folks like Barry McGee, Jeremy Fish, Richard Coleman, Futura, Mike Giant, Cleon Peterson, Tiffany Bozic, The Date Farmers, and so many others.
I may have stepped away from Fecal Face for the time being, but when the dust settles, I'll be back. In the meantime, check www.johntrippe.com for updates from the road.
