E-cigarette health risks could potentially outweigh the risks of smoking regular cigarettes. The levels of nicotine in e-cigarettes can kill a child, its carcinogens can cause cancer in adults, and the unknown chemicals added to the nicotine-laced liquid solution are kept hidden from the consumer. Because of the e-cigarette health risks, “the French government has already vowed to extend existing legislation controlling the sale and consumption of tobacco to cover e-cigarettes,” reported EuroNews on Aug. 27, 2013. The e-cigarette health risk warning has been issued after a French study discovered that e-cigarettes are not as harmless and without health risks as many e-cigarette smokers are led to believe. “The vapours can contain almost the same amounts of the carcinogenic compound formaldehyde as in a conventional cigarette.” *~*~*~*~* Concerns about the health effects of e-cigarettes have prompted a California town to consider a moratoriu...

We all love spending the long, sunny days of summer outdoors with our furry companions, but being overeager in hot weather can spell danger, warn ASPCA experts.  "Even the healthiest pets can suffer from dehydration, heat stroke and sunburn if overexposed to the heat," says Dr. Lila Miller, ASPCA Vice President of Veterinary Outreach, "and heat stroke can be fatal if not treated promptly." Take these simple precautions, provided by ASPCA experts, to help prevent your pet from overheating. And if you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke, get help from your veterinarian immediately.

Now for some Great News involving teenagers!  I love posting this kind of stuff!  Renews my hope for the future! From Wayne, NJ:  A broken lock led several young men to believe a store they were entering was open on a Sunday morning in New Jersey, but Buddy's Small Lots was supposed to be closed. Surveillance cameras catch the men doing their shopping and then searching for a clerk. They call out for someone to ring up their purchases, but they don't know the store is actually closed. The men end up leaving their money on the counter, take their merchandise, and leave. Click   HERE to read entire story!

A British animal activist is prepared to spend more than one month behind kennel bars in order to raise awareness about shelter dogs. Sean Le Vegan, a web designer, will live in a kennel for 35 days starting Oct. 5 at Manchester Dogs Home, where he is a volunteer, the Manchester Evening News reports. The shelter, which was established 100 years ago, takes in around 4,000 dogs each year -- a mere 34 percent of the strays it finds. Thirty-five days is the average time a pup stays at the pound. “It’s going to be really tough, but I didn’t want to dress up in a pickle suit or run 26 miles or any of the usual things," he told the publication. "I want to really show people what stray dogs go through, and experience it for myself.” Read Article In It's Entirety HERE OR copy & paste URL:   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/15/sean-le-vegan-kennel_n_3598822.html?utm_hp_ref=good-news&ir=Good%20News Known as The Empress of the Known & Unknown ...

As someone who lives with rheumatoid arthritis, I'm always looking for ways of getting the most out of my life.  Preferably with as little pain as possible. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, like me and millions of others,  you may have heard that a specific diet or certain foods can ease your pain, stiffness, and fatigue.  Eating certain foods or avoiding certain foods may help your rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. But the Arthritis Foundation says there is no specific "arthritis diet."

"May you live in interesting times."      Though it's unclear where that saying really came from, it packs a bit of a wallop just the same.  Because we are definitely (more so than ever before) living in "interesting times!" More gruesome than any slasher/sci fi film, the daily news is a cesspool of horrific acts committed by individuals in the most god awful manner, for the most sickening lame ass reasons. Boredom or Just Being a Fuck Tard? The latest string of fucktard activity comes from Oklahoma and Indiana.  Both involving "bored teens."  Seriously?  You're bored so you go out and kill an innocent person and/or animal? WTF?! And you wanna know what's really bad about their excuse?  Sadly and sickeningly enough saying you're bored only ranks a close second to shrugging your shoulders and muttering I dunno.  Remember that excuse?  Anyone?  Anyone? So to ease your boredom you go out and kill innocents?   Well, ...
