Are YOU getting enough vitamin D?

Are you getting enough vitamin D? Research shows that 50-75% of us DON'T get enough vitamin D, which could explain a lot about how dependent America is on "other" forms of medications, not to mention all the money we spend on treatments.

Vitamin D has been proven to reduce the risk of cancers, boost your overall immune system, reduce the risk of heart disease and many more.

Here's a video to watch that explains more about the miraculous healing powers of vitamin D. So next time you make your grocery list, don't forget to add your supplemental Vtamin D to the list, you won't be sorry you did. I just picked mine up today for only $3

Aurora Watch Website

Here's the link to a cool website dedicated to Auroras...
It'll tell you when the next one will be in the sky and what your probability of seeing one each night is, based on the geomagnetic activity in Edmonton.

In addition, it includes a DIY magnetometer section. The magnetometer is for detecting solar storm activity.

Aurora Borealis lights the night sky

Strong solar winds stretched the earths magnetic field late last night, creating an Aurora Borealis. Another one is expected to hit between 2012 and 2013....

Get ready for that one!

Redoubt Volcano Re-awakens in Anchorage

Today the Redoubt Volcano in Anchorage Alaska began having many small earthquakes, signalling a warning to the residents that it is indeed still active, and may be waking back up soon. Geophysicists and scientists are taking samples and testing the data to see if there is real cause for alarm.

California 7.2 Earthquake

Easter Sunday, a day for family, friends, and oh yeah, earthquakes. This 7.2 magnitude earthquake was located in the Mexicali area of Mexico, but was felt throughout most of southern California as well. It was just 6 miles below the surface. Mexicali was hit the worst, sustaining much structural damage because of older building codes. There have been as many as two dozen aftershocks since that quake, but only one casualty has been reported.

Bad Toyota! BAD!

I remember not too long ago, when the whole Toyota faulty accelerator pedal came about, and Mr Toyoda himself got on TV and shed tears about how sorry he was for this problem and assuring us that Toyota is and always has been the very best in safety.

Well today it turns out that Toyota was actually hiding the defects in their workmanship. Some safety record that is.

Toyota is of course being fined the maximum penalty, which is a record 16.4 million, but a far cry from the more than 25 lives that were potentially lost because of somebody trying to sweep this under the rug while maximizing their pockets.

I wonder if this helps them sleep at night....


Furthermore, it can only make one wonder if that's not the only thing they've been hiding throughout their long history in auto safety, and just 'how safe' ARE Toyota cars?
