The Environmental Working Group’s campaign for safer, more effective sunscreen seems to be having an impact on the industry.
The 2009 investigation of 1,571 products shows that 70 percent of sunscreens now contain strong UVA filters, which is up 41 percent from last year’s dismall 29 percent outcome. (Most sunscreens protect from the sun’s UVB rays. An ideal sunscreen blocks both UVA and UVB rays and doesn’t break down in the sun).
Causing quite a stir in the world of medicine, the FDA has made a decision to cut back on the maximum dosage of Tylenol. More specifically, they’re going to lower doses of acetaminophen to 2600 milligrams from 4000 milligrams. The reason is because it can cause liver damage. For the sake of comparison, single pill of Extra Strength Tylenol contains 500 milligrams.
On June 29th, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that it has found E. coli O157:H7 (a bacterium that can cause serious food borne illness) in a sample of prepackaged Nestlé Toll House refrigerated cookie dough currently under recall by the manufacturer and marketer, Nestlé USA. The contaminated sample was collected at Nestlé’s facility in Danville, Va. on June 25, 2009.
Here it is, the final entry of the 30 day challenge. I’ve completed all 20 workout days of the 30 day challenge as of right now. Day 30 is a rest day, on the schedule. It’s been a long and arduous journey, and I’m happy that I made it this far. However, results are very mixed. I was able to accomplish a lot, and through this, able to reach goals, and have been more active than usual. However, it has taught me that EA Sports Active alone cannot help you lose weight if you’re not willing to work harder than doing this on Medium.
So, my sister has Thyroid Cancer. I’m currently awaiting a phone call with the results of the surgery that is going on right now, but I thought I would create a resource guide to places to learn about it online. There were a lot of things that I didn’t know about with regard to thyroid cancer.
From what I understand, and based on what friends have commented, this is the best form of cancer that she could have gotten, as it is easily treatable.
Today’s challenge was really easy, and came without glitching. The most glitch that I see is the TV that I bought about six or so years ago is starting to do a strange ripple. It’s annoying to watch and even more annoying to play games on it. But I can see clear enough to do this game on it. I’m not too happy about this, but at least when I re-play the unsavable games, I’ll be able to do so on a newer HD TV, in Widescreen. It’s built into those games, but I’ve never played them like that. Anyway, on to today’s workout.
I didn’t get a chance to write about these two days of trainings on Friday and Saturday until now. Both days were rough, and filled with software glitches. These resulted in more glitches, and now my Wii is probably heading to New York to be fixed by Nintendo, which will include a major loss in data, as well as other things. I’m still able to use it for EA Sports Active, but that’s the only game I’m willing to have in at this point. I don’t want to lose any more than I already might.
Wow, when I saw the headline, I knew that I had to write about this. Lately the news has been about other things, which has served to distract from the pandemic that we’re now facing. Things like Jon and Kate Plus Eight (which I’m not too broken up about at all, just sad for the kids really) and the election in Iran have been all over the headlines for a few weeks, and it’s been a welcome change from Swine Flu. But I fear that has caused it to be out of sight/out of mind, as the problem hasn’t gone away with the trend.
Today’s workout was definitely not good. And it wasn’t really the fault of the workout. I had to restart the whole thing 3 times! I’d be either at the end of a workout, or in the middle of a workout, and the game would suddenly freeze and to get the Wii going again, I had to pull the plug. The game had completely locked up the system. I can’t figure out why it would do that, but if you’re reading this EA, I have a few suggestions:
Today’s workout had lots of upper body exercises. It had some of most everything that I’ve done with my arms and upper body. It was a pretty decent workout today, and managed to show me just how far I have come with the program. This would have been a very hard workout to complete a month ago, when I started it. Since I’ve been keeping up with it, though, the exercises are becoming much easier to complete.
