Re: [MBZ] GERD for dummies

Having just done so via the accepted method (removing passenger side kick

Getting back to the soreness:  Never had much problem with soreness.  Make

do NOT overtighten the mask.  You should have a good seal, but don't crank

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/08/solar-industrys-new-dirty-secret/

*It’s no secret

that manufacturing solar panels often requires toxic heavy metals,
explosive gases, and rare-earth elements that come from shoddy mines in
war-torn republics. But here’s a surprise: The solar industry is actually
getting dirtier in some respects. The latest Solar Scorecard
 from the Silicon Valley
Toxics Coalition (SVTC), released last week, reports that the industry has
slipped on several key environmental metrics, with many solar-panel
manufacturers now refusing to provide any information about their
manufacturing practices at all.*

I did a night landing in a Cessna 152 at Burbank Airport in 1982 with an
