It has been raining alot…Nice Weather for Ducks
Welcome to our new Guest Blogger, Julia Z. Fenster, of that fresh, green site, thelohasian.com:
Few things are more frustrating for parents than the sound of screaming, teething babies. In America the solution has typically been chemical ridden teething gels or cold teething toys, both offering limited success. But for parents overseas, and a small handful of natural “in the know moms” in the U.S., no better solution exists than amber teething necklaces.
These little necklaces are meant to be worn and not chewed on. By simply wearing them, teething toddlers experience almost instant relief from all signs of pain. Although no conclusive knowledge exists on why amber necklaces work, thousands of moms worldwide swear by them (including the one writing this). There are two theories that exist as to why these miracle neckalces work.
The first theory states that amber has healing oils, and that the warmth of the skin releases these oils into the skin which is then absorbed into the blood stream. A second theory is based on hard scientific findings that point to amber being electro-magnetically charged with significant amounts electronegative energy. According to this theory, wearing electro-negatively charged amber produces negative ionisation on the skin’s surface which assist in the prevention of disease. Regardless of the reason, simply put – they work.
In some parts of the world, such as Austria and Switzerland, amber necklaces are recognized for their curative effects by the Allopathic medical community, and sold readily in drug stores. For us in the U.S., these life savers for parents and toddlers alike, are available at online sources such as Wonderous Gems or Amberizon.

This is not a tourism video. Every year, Alaska sells permits to the not-so-distant cousins of Michael Vick to hunt wolves from planes and helicopters; this is not sport, this is not ethical, this is an inhumane activity that has to be stopped. Alaskans have voted against it and the Feds have outlawed it, yet the big game hunting lobby and special interests (ever seen corrupt Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens in action?) keep this brainless, cruel and unsportsmanlike practice alive, year after year, under the bogus guise of wildlife management. Check out this video for a closer look. Voice your opposition to aerial wolf hunting by sending a message via Defenders of Wildllife.

White light, low heat production and low energy consumption in a stylish, ultra-adjustable package. This Mini-Z lamp produces directed white light about as bright as a 30-40 watt incandescent bulb. A single bright white LED puts out about 1 lumen of light, so 40 of them produce about 40 lumens. Most of this is focused in a 40-degree viewing angle, compared to an 30-40 watt incandescent which spreads its 300-500 lumens in all directions, wasting much of the light and energy backwards and sideways.
This lamp is designed to be highly adjustable so you can direct the light wherever you need it. Design efforts have also been focused on ease of adjustment without the need to adjust knobs or tighten screws.
The LEDs used in this lamp won’t suddenly burnout, they utilize technology that lets them sustain at least 50% of light output after 15,000–30,000 operating hours.
available in silver or black for $99.95 @ konceptech.com
