This Week: HALOGENATION:
As for chemicals that kill water-borne pathogens, both chlorine and the iodine in Potable Aqua have been proven relatively effective, given enough of the chemical and enough time. Halogenation is effected by water temperature(the warmer, the better), the pH of the water and the turbidity of the water. For best results, strain out particles by pouring through a clean T-shirt or bandana before adding Potable Aqua. Halogens are generally more convenient and faster than boiling the water(when you consider lighting the stove or building the fire), but they cost a bit more and can't be guaranteed to work as well as other means of water disinfection.
Chlorine and iodine for instance, have not been proven fatal to Cryptosporidium. Halogens also tend to leave the water tasting crummy, a phenomenon reversible by adding flavoring(such as energy drink powders), or, if using iodine, an iodine -taste-removing product, such as Potable Aqua with P.A.Plus, after the disinfection process has been completed. If you add anything to the water prior to complete disinfection, the added substances may disrupt the disinfection process. A simple rule is: Follow the directions on the label!

NEWS and VIEWS

!SOLUTIONS!-NO 1040:
Many Americans have a very definite idea about how the Internal Revenue Service behaves. And in many respects, they are correct. Testimony before the Senate Committee in October of 1997 revealed, for the first time for many Americans, just how the IRS tries to intimidate and bully you.

Folks, think about the above statement and then browse over to this great site, with information and answers to your questions, on income tax and more. As a people, we need to get our heads out of the sand and start exploring the information contained within these pages. As far as I am concerned, I've rated the above site as NO. 1!!

• The meaning of the Huron-Iroquis Indian word kanata, from which Canada derives its name, is "small village".

Since he wasn't KIA [Killed in Action] or wounded, how was it that his Army tour was far shorter than all the rest of us?" Our astute veteran readers took the bait! Gore's campaign launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign this week to tell his "life story." The ads will include references to his "service" in Vietnam --however brief. Gore spent less than five months of a typical twelve-month tour in Vietnam. He spent every minute of his "tour" as a "rear-echelon...." (call any combat veteran and they can complete that phrase for you).

He was classified as a military journalist after telling recruiters he was a "newspaper trainee" (read "copy boy") for the New York Times while a student at Harvard. He was assigned as a noncombatant "information specialist" to the Army's 20th Engineers Brigade headquarters at Bien Hoa military base near Saigon. Gore's immediate supervisor in Vietnam has confirmed that his posting there came with explicit instructions to baby-sit him and make sure he was never in any danger.

That fact notwithstanding, Gore has claimed to the Washington Post that he was "shot at" and "spent most of my time in the field." He later told the Baltimore Sun that "[I] pulled my turn on the perimeter at night and walked through the elephant grass and I was fired upon." He has since backed off these exaggerated claims. On May 22, 1971, not five months into his "tour of duty," Gore was given special dispensation and a one-way ticket home to attend divinity school in Nashville. He dropped out of Vanderbilt shortly thereafter. As for the seven months cut from Gore's tour of duty in Vietnam, we suppose "someone else in the small town of Carthage, Tennessee" had to finish his tour "in his place".

Flu prevention:
The flu shot is safe to get while you're pregnant, according to the Centers for Disease Control, which recommends it for women in their first trimester who will be more than 14 weeks pregnant during the peak influenza months. Be aware, however, that the flu shot will protect you only against the more serious strains that tend to land people in the hospital. The vaccine does not work for the "colds" that we all get every winter, unfortunately.
Some people feel achy and fatigued when they get the shot, as if they are getting a mild cold. This is because the vaccine is stimulating your immune system so that it will recognize these nasty flu types if you come in contact with them.
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!
