[BlindHandyMan] iPhone SIM card question

2010-06-26 Thread Dale Leavens
Those of you with iPhones might be able to tell me if they have a SIM card? Can 
I install one in Europe and use the phone like a local phone there?

The in-laws don't have Internet and I would dearly love to be able to keep 
connected while there.

Thanks.

Hi Clifford,
Any time there is a spark some ozone will be created, but I'd not
worry much about that occasional snap.

Dale, from what I recall, you could use a different simm card, but all the 
details I  am not sure of. THe iPhone does use a standard simm card.

Ozonated water is good for you since it increases your absorbed oxygen.  It 
also helps your body get rid of free radicals.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] ozone

2010-06-26 Thread Dale Leavens
Where on earth does this stuff come from!

The lungs are about 100% efficient at 16% oxygen saturation under normal 
healthy conditions. The atmospheric oxygen is just under 21% so, your blood is 
fully oxygenated with plenty to spare provided your lungs aren't damaged by, 
among other things, extreme oxygen exposure or of course ozone.

The thing about ozone though is that should the third oxygen atom dissociate it 
becomes free to associate with other elements to form free radicals.

Not to worry too much though, unless the water is pressurized with O3, it 
cannot remain suspended in the liquid long enough to be present in any amount 
when you drink it because of the low partial pressure of O3 in the surrounding 
environment. It is possible to get some to stay in suspension by pressurizing 
the water in O3 gas as they do with carbon dioxide which is what causes the 
fizz in soda drinks and yes, even beer and sparkling wines. Now, when I drink a 
lot of beer with lots of carbon dioxide fizz it returns the way it came in the 
form of very satisfying burps. Well, most of it does, some apparently finds 
another less pleasing exit. While I don't know this for sure, I expect that 
pressurized ozone would perform similarly except that it's reputed odor 
absorbing properties might limit some of the entertainment value.

I have heard it said that you can smell * ozone at the seaside.  Is this 
actually ozone, or just * 
ocean and related smells like seaweed etc?

Ozone is among the ocean smells apparently but I don't know why that should be 
except perhaps the ultraviolet in the sun on that wide expanse of water. You 
will smell it where ultraviolet light is generated particularly those older 
carbon arc lamps. The mercury vapor lamps we used to use in British hospitals 
40 years ago also produced enough ozone to smell.
