It doesn't matter how harmless, fun, and dumb it all might sound on first listen; most of what's on Get Over It is not going away anytime soon. The soundtrack jumps through many different genres to achieve its balance--whether it's the looped organ notes and monosyllabic chants of Fatboy Slim's "Sho' Nuff," the dance-floor disco mania of Basement Jaxx's "Bingo Bango," or the acoustic grunge and winning harmonies of American Hi-Fi's "Another Perfect Day." For novelty's sake, Vitamin C's notable rendition of "Love Will Keep Us Together" has been substituted for the Captain & Tennille's 1970s original. Elvis Costello's thorny 1977 ballad "Alison" still sounds shockingly recent. As an example of expert pacing, the addition of England's cult hero Badly Drawn Boy with the cello-based "The Shining" serves as a gentle counterpoint and intro to Caviar's propulsive "Goldmine." --Rob O'Connor

High-Output Massaging Shower Filter contains a reversible filter cartridge that will filter harmful chlorine and other chemicals from your shower water for one year. This high performance shower filter combines easy operation and maintenance with the ultimate in structural integrity and overall reliability. The Sprite High-Output Shower Filter is the strongest shower filter available on the market.

Chlorine is universally used to disinfect water, killing bacteria and other microorganisms. But once it arrives in your home, chlorine can negatively affect your family's long-term health, comfort and even personal appearance. Sprite Shower Filters with patented Chlorgon non-carbon media outperform other filters for chlorine removal in hot shower conditions. The world leader in shower filtration technology for 15 years, Sprite has earned more than 18 U.S. and international patents. Millions own water filters to remove chlorine from drinking water. But 50% of chlorine exposure occurs in the shower. Unfiltered shower water can increase their exposure to chlorine by absorption through the skin and by inhalation of chlorine vapors. Sprite filters chlorine for softer hair and smoother skin. Now you can fight brittle hair, dry skin and dandruff -- where health and beauty begin -- right in your shower. Scientific studies have linked chlorinated water to potentially harmful health conditions. Chlorine vaporizes in hot shower water and, when inhaled in the lungs, is tranferred into the blood stream. Sprite Shower Filtration reduces harsh chlorine vapors -- so you can breathe easier. Shower filtration by Sprite is a logical addition for people concerned about home envireonmental issues including the quality of water and air in their homes. Help protect your family's personal environment with a Sprite filter in every shower. As an added benefit the conditioned water leaves hair more manageable. Less soap or shampoo is required and perms and hair color treatments last longer.

10 piece kit. Clean vents up to 12'. Includes (4) 36'' long flexible rods that screw together to reach into dryer vents; self feeding 4'' auger brush makes multiple turns in your vent; blockage removal tool removes heavy blockages, and clears gutters and downspouts; large 2.5'' diameter lint brush with 42'' reach; vacuum adaptor to connect to a shop vac or blower vac to remove lint while rotary brushing. Reduces risk of fire and increases the life of your dryer.

Product Description The LintEater 10 Piece Rotary Dryer Vent Cleaning System is designed for the homeowner by a leading manufacturer of commercial duct cleaning equipment and comes with everything needed to clean and regularly maintain the entire dryer exhaust venting system with professional results. How LintEater Works Unlike typical manually operated vent brushes, the superior design of the LintEater Auger Brush allows both air and loosened lint to pass through the durable bristles for easy lint removal. The rotating action of the self-feeding Auger Brush and flexible rods scours the entire vent wall surface, while smoothly navigating the multiple twists and turns that are common in most exhaust vents. Easy to Use The included adapters enable you to use the air from the clothes dryer, shop vacuum or electric blower to completely remove lint from the vent while rotary cleaning at the same time. The Operator's Manual has detailed, step-by-step instructions and illustrations covering many different cleaning situations, based on decades of professional experience and techniques. Multiple Uses The Lint Brush will reach 42 inches when connected to one flexible rod – all the way to the bottom of your lint trap. The brush head is bendable to conform to tight spaces and works for both top and door mounted lint traps. The brush filaments are extremely durable and may be repeatedly washed to provide years of use. The exceptional reach makes it a snap to clean behind, underneath and all around your appliances. Use it to clean baseboard heating vents or connect several rods to clean ceiling fans, vertical blinds, cobwebs or any hard to reach areas around the home. The Blockage Removal Tool can be used to dislodge and clear animal and bird nests in the exhaust vent prior to rotary brushing and also clears debris from clogged gutter downspouts – without stepping foot on a ladder. The optional 12 Foot Extension Rod Kit adds to the LintEater Rotary Dryer Vent Cleaning System for exhaust vents longer than 12 feet. The optional LintCatcher captures loosened lint from the dryer vent while rotary brushing.

Klean Kanteen stainless 18oz bottles Klean Kanteen 18oz Bottles have a large - mouth design that makes it easy to pour in ice cubes or a smoothie packed with frozen strawberries.

Keep yourself hydrated with the reusable Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottle, which now comes in a variety of colors. Klean Kanteens are made from #304 stainless steel, the material of choice in the food processing, dairy, and brewery industries. Stainless steel is easy to clean, durable, inert, sanitary, toxin-free, and non-leaching. It's also toxin- and BPA-free and 100 percent recyclable in most areas. Klean Kanteen bottles do not have a chemical lining like some other metal bottles, and they won't ever leach a chemical taste into your drinks. The large-mouth design makes it easy to pour in ice cubes or a smoothie packed with frozen strawberries. It's also easy to clean--just scrub it out with white vinegar and baking soda (or mild soap and water), or load it in the dishwasher. It's topped by a polypropylene looped cap that makes it easy to grab on the go. All Klean Kanteens are backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. Klean Kanteen bottles come in several sizes: The wide mouths are designed to fit ice cubes. 12 Ounces The 12-ounce Klean Kanteen is designed for small hands, making it easy to hold, and you can order an optional specially designed adapter that works with Avent's patented sippy cup spout. Capacity: 12 ounces (355 ml) Weight: 4 ounces Size: 5 x 2.75 inches (HxW, without cap) Opening diameter: 1.75 inches 18 Ounces Grown-ups love the 18 ounce bottle for its compact, easy-to-carry, lightweight size that slips into bags, cup-holders, and even the water bottle cage on your bike. Capacity: 18 ounces (532 ml) Weight: 6 ounces Size: 7 x 2.75 inches (HxW, without cap) Opening diameter: 1.75 inches 27 Ounces Klean Kanteen's most popular size, 27 ounces is a perfect amount for juggling a full day of classes or work, kids' extracurricular schedules, a trip to the dog park, and more. Capacity: 27 ounces (800 ml) Weight: 8 ounces Size: 10.55 x 2.75 inches (HxW, without cap) Opening diameter: 1.75 inches 40 Ounces When 27 ounces isn't enough, you may need 40. The mother of all water bottles, the 40-ounce Klean Kanteen is great for long car trips, camping, a late-night session at the office, trips to the beach, or any time you need to carry a lot of liquid and don't have the option of easy refills. Capacity: 40 ounces (1182 ml) Weight: 11 ounces Size: 10.625 by 3.5 inches (HxW, without cap) Opening diameter: 1.75 inches The Klean Kanteen Kolor range. Frequently Asked Questions Why is the sports cap made of plastic and not stainless steel? Your teeth. Klean Kanteen chose polypropylene #5 because it has no known leaching characteristics and is softer if you hit a bump on the trail. If you'd rather avoid plastic altogether, a stainless steel screw-on lid is available as an accessory. Can I put hot liquids in my Klean Kanteen? No. Klean Kanteen bottles are single walled and not for use with hot liquids. Warm beverages can be used at personal comfort level. The single-walled construction allows for more volume and the option to put your Kanteen on a flame. Can I put my Kanteen in the freezer? We do not recommend it and it will void the one-year warranty against manufacturer defects. Can I put my Kanteen on a stove? In a pinch, the Kanteen can be placed on fire or a stove. Beware not to melt the plastic lid or burn yourself. What is stainless steel? Stainless steel is an iron-containing alloy made from some of the basic elements found on earth: iron ore, chromium, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and manganese. Properties of the final alloy are tailored by varying amounts of these elements. There are more than 57 stainless steels recognized as standard alloys on the market. Klean Kanteens are constructed from high-quality, sanitary-grade 304 stainless steel which has a low nickel content. Stainless steel has excellent resistance to stain or rust due to its chromium content. Stainless steel is easy to clean, durable, inert and sanitary.

Dishwasher-safe, eco-friendly, high-quality stainless steel water bottles from Klean Kanteen offer a great alternative to plastic and lined metal bottles. Constructed of food-grade #304 stainless steel, Kleen Kanteen bottles are BPA-free and 100 percent recyclable. An all-stainless steel interior, 18/8 stainless caps, and stainless steel threads mean the bottles won't retain or leach flavors, so you get a fresh, clean, crisp drink every time. Because Klean Kanteen bottles are constructed of food-grade stainless steel, they're not coated with a plastic or epoxy lining like aluminum bottles.The new wide mouth line of bottles have an opening more than two inches in diameter, which makes filling, pouring, and cleaning the bottle a cinch, and the universal thread design works with most standard backcountry water filters without an adapter. With the Klean Kanteen Wide, you have even more earth- and body-friendly choices. They come in five sizes, ranging from 12 to 64 ounces, and all come in pure, shiny brushed stainless steel. The wide bottles are shorter and more compact than Klean Kanteen Classic bottles but incorporate the same slim design, meaning sizes up to 27 ounces fit in most cup holders. They also come standard with the Stainless Loop Cap, which works seamlessly with the S-Biner, so it's a snap to clip it right onto a shoulder strap or pack.

The Kleen Kanteen Wide Mouth Insulated water bottle was originally created based on customer feedback, offering a wider opening for easier filling and pouring, as well a universal thread design that works with most backcountry water filters without an adapter. The bottle comes in a variety of color and volume options, and -- like all Kleen Kanteen products -- is made of 18/8, food-grade stainless steel, which is free of BPA and other toxins, and doesn't retain or impart flavors. Features Extra-wide 2.125-inch mouth for easy filling and pouring External, stainless steel threads 100% stainless steel interior Works with standard backcountry water filters Made of 18/8, food-grade stainless steel, no liner needed No BPA, phthalates, lead, or other toxins Rounded corners are easy to clean with no hard angles where dirt, germs or bacteria can stick Reusable and recyclable Easy to hand wash Machine-washable Klean Kanteen Warranty All Klean Kanteen bottles, caps, and lids include a limited one-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. About Klean Kanteen Long before stainless steel water bottles were in vogue, Kleen Kanteen was working on its first prototype from items bought at a local hardware store in Chico, California. In 2004, the company released its first product, geared toward providing consumers with a lightweight, reusable, durable, BPA-free bottle. Since Kleen Kanteen products are made of stainless steel, they never absorb or leech flavors between drinks, and provide a crisp, fresh sip of your beverage every time. Kleen Kanteen, as an organization, is dedicated to lowering its environmental footprint by making adjustments where necessary throughout its entire production process. Ensuring office paper is 100% post-consumer content, providing hand and dish soaps that are fair trade using Energy Star-certified office equipment -- these are a few of the company's "Earth-in-mind" operations choices. This commitment to sustainability extends to the beginning of the production process, where Klean Kanteen has increased oversight and conducted third-party audits of factories, making sure they're meeting Klean Kanteen's environmental and fair labor standards.

Parasites. The word typically conjures images of impoverished living conditions, foreign travel or questionable eating establishments. But the presence of parasites is much more common than most people think. Contaminated water supplies, poor hygiene, and ignorance, coupled with the presence of various commonly found parasites puts infection rates among North Americans as high as 85 percent, according to some experts. In The Parasite Menace, Dr. Skye Weintraub educates the reader about parasites: how to prevent infection, detect their presence, and rid ourselves of them by through diet and nutrition, herbal and supplemental therapies, and other natural practices. Dr. Weintraub also examines proper hygiene practices, water filters, proper food handling, immune system fortification, and other ways to decrease our risk of being infected with parasites.

Our Relationship with Water Liz Lipski, PhD, CCN An interview with West Marrin, PhD, author of Universal Water: The Ancient Wisdom and Scientific Theory of Water To what degree do we try to manipulate nature so that we can live where we want to, and how much do we go back to a system where we live where the earth supports us and the water supports us? In an age where we see water as a commodity to be bought and sold and we attempt to control it in the hope that it will serve our immediate needs, Dr. West Marrin invites us to reexamine our relationship to this substance, which the ancients viewed as a sentient being. He brings both his scientific training and his passion for surfing to explore water's geological and biochemical properties, its mystical qualities and the ecological issues that we must address if we are to survive. In this interview: •Learn about Water's Geological and Biochemical Properties •Re-examine your relationship with water •Explore water's mystical qualities •Is tap water any good? Find an answer here •Find out about the ecological issues we must address •Discover the secrets of glacier waters •Find out what indigenous cultures have known for thousands of years •Uncover the truth about bottled water •Visit the theories of how water has a memory •See how water filters can help or hurt •Discover why pH balance is so important Dr. West Marrin is an applied scientist, naturalist, and educator who founded Water Sciences & Insights, a web-based and live interactive forum for presenting people with unique perceptions of water and for assisting diverse groups with water-related projects. He has authored two books; Universal Water: The Ancient Wisdom and Scientific Theory of Water and Altered Perceptions: Addressing the Real Water Crises, and scientific papers that range in scope from greenhouse gases to biodegrading pollutants.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is common and the majority of patients survive the acute event. Survivors are at increased risk for adverse outcomes, including persistent thrombi, recurrent embolism, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), and death. Anticoagulation protects against recurrence, which has a high mortality rate. The recommended duration of anticoagulation for patients with reversible PE risk factors is 3 months. For patients with idiopathic PE or persistent risk factors, extended duration of anticoagulation is preferred, balanced with an individual patient’s risk of hemorrhage, which in itself is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Among patients with malignancy who develop venous thromboembolism (VTE), low-molecular-weight heparin is preferred over oral vitamin K antagonists in the first 6 months. Thereafter, anticoagulation should be continued indefinitely with either low-molecular-weight heparin or oral vitamin K antagonists. Inferior vena cava filters are not routinely recommended and should only be used in patients who have a contraindication to anticoagulation. Patients who have had VTE and with persistent or recurrent dyspnea should be evaluated for recurrence of VTE or development of CTEPH. Patients with recurrent VTE should be anticoagulated indefinitely. Routine screening for CTEPH in asymptomatic patients is not recommended. Echocardiography often provides the first indication of the presence of pulmonary hypertension. Once presence of CTEPH is established by right-sided heart catheterization and perfusion imaging (ie, ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, computed tomography angiography, or pulmonary angiography), patients should be referred early to a center with expertise, as it is potentially surgically curable by pulmonary endarterectomy. Those who are deemed inoperable after being evaluated may gain symptomatic benefit from drugs approved for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. Lung transplantation may also be an option for patients who are not candidates for pulmonary endarterectomy.Original Publication Date: August 2011
