Pink Glove Dance for Breast Cancer Awareness
The video below was forwarded from a friend. It is amazing and heart warming. Make sure you have the sound up.

Enjoy!
Our daughter-in-law, Emily (MacInnes) Somers, created, directed and choreographed this in Portland last week for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. This was all her idea to he lp promote their new pink gloves. I don’t know how she got so many employees, doctors and patients to participate, but it started to really catch on and they all had a lot of fun doing it.
When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. Please check it out. It’s an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn’t been touched by breast cancer?
Maintaining Your Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine
The next step is confirming the leveling. Use a leveling tool to adjust the feet until the unit is balanced.
Keep the machine clean and spotless in the outside. Bleaches and soaps may cause damage on the machines exterior. Always remember to clean the stainless steel tub once every few months. As well as change the ultrasonic cleaning solution.
Always use the minimum amount of detergent that is necessary for the job. Some materials have a reaction to strong detergents and can become pitted. Sometimes cleaning agents can ruin your base material. As a general rule, liquid detergents are way better than powdered detergents.
The last advice would be to get a service call if needed. Make service calls as a routine habit as part of washing machine maintenance. The machine life may be extended if the service person is able to remove the cover and clean it from the inside. Never try to remove the front panel.

A New World view: A tale of two sciences
An innovative approach to reducing toxic-chemical use scrambles to stay alive as big science prospers, says Daniel Sarewitz.
The main laboratory of the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) at the University of Massachusetts Lowell looks more like a 1940s factory machine shop than a state-of-the-art research facility. Yet despite its low-tech feel, TURI could revolutionize the way the United States deals with chemicals in the environment.
