A little late coming in on this. I agree with Astronuc as far as moving to clean water when fish show signs of distress. A friend has large fish and keeps a tough (food/water grade) handy in case he needs to move them. In a pinch he's also used a Sterlite clear plastic storage container. I'm...

Any validity to the clinical applications for scar tissue ? http://dermaroller.de/

A friend sent me some samples of a mineral makeup and I've been quite taken with it. The company in question also addresses the nano-particle issue upfront. Fairly rare in the scheme of things. In case anyone wants to do more research on a product this page has links to most of the larger...

That'll teach me to wander off. Happy (late) birthday !

Well, you know, he was just being a dog. Don't take it personally but I'd rather see a disclaimer attached to videos like this. I know stuff happens but I'd rather choose to watch based on content rather than title when the potential for serious injury is involved. Far Star

You're welcome. :<) There are entire sections on some forums devoted to such things. There are ergonomic designs, silicone vs rubber, slightly curved or more rounded, padded handle or not, $5 vs $20... And I thought physics was mind boggling. Far Star

I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing that.

Tip for the day: Warm the eyelash curler with a hair dryer on "low". Make sure to check that's it not too hot and use on clean lashes. They've even come out with a self heating curler. Go figure. Far Star

I'm sorry that happened to her. It must have been quite traumatic. Unfortunately the circumstance dictated a more than casual response. The car was new It had dealer plates The driver was speeding There was more than one person in the car From what I've read it fits the...

Missed this earlier. Thanks, Moonbear. An update on the heparin recalls: http://medheadlines.com/2008/03/26/heparin-recall-growing-global/

Good ideas for a patio or yard. The pre-built are fairly expensive but they do have kits and plans on some of the sites: http://catnet.stanford.edu/articles/enclosures.html My cats used to be more or less free roaming back in the day. The neighbors knew what dogs or cats belonged where...

You're welcome. If you order one ask them about adding a handle as far as buckle strength and stitching. The harness might be strong enough for walks but iffy on lifting. No need for further "oops" factors. :<)

I found this review about the jacket harness. http://cats.about.com/cs/catmanagement101/gr/walkingjacket.htm The added benefit with the jacket might be more grabbing room if need be. Neighborhood dogs off leash and such (not even trying to picture that scenario). I didn't notice if it...
