Petroleum is, unfortunately, a nonrenewable resource. It takes so long for organic matter to turn into oil that all we have to work with is the supply that's currently in the ground. Once that supply is gone, we'll really have to rely on new energy sources. A big part of consuming Earth's supply of petroleum responsibly is making each drop do as much for us as possible. When an oil company is unable to pump any more oil out of the ground at a...more

Varicose veins aren't pretty to look at. That's a basic fact of life. Varicose veins can also cause pain, swelling, itchiness and cramps. In some cases, they can also cause scarring and a reduced ability for your legs to heal from simple wounds. Varicose veins are treatable, however, and Colorado Springs Dermatologists offer relief and treatment for those suffering from this unsightly skin condition.What are varicose veins?Varicose veins occur when the valves occurring in the veins in our legs become defective. Small leaflet valves in our leg veins are there to keep the blood flowing toward the heart and not away. When the valve becomes defective the blood flows back into the vein and causes the veins to become enlarged and discolored. Affected veins are the reticular (larger) and telangiectasias (smaller or spider) veins.What causes varicose veins?Sadly, the main cause seems to be heredity. If your parents had them, you are more likely to get them as well. Other factors that cause varicose veins include obesity, menopause, pregnancy and simple aging. Also, long periods of standing, abdominal straining, or leg injury can be contributing factors.What treatments are available for my...more

I'm a long time bearded dragon owner (ten years and counting) and know well the rewards associated with this type of pet ownership. Certainly, bearded dragons are not for everyone (small children, for example) but they can be a unique, piquant alternative for those people looking for a new kind of pet.Who's a Good Match for a Beardie?First of all, bearded dragons are reptiles, and for that reason are extremely different from typical pets like ferrets and dogs. They're cold blooded, and perhaps because of this are widely vilified as being apathetic, disaffected, and even sinister. This is utter nonsense. You have to realize a couple of things:- Their brains are typically much smaller than other domestic animals, which results in a different way of interacting with the environment. They are in no way less intelligent or aware.- Lacking fur or hair of any kind, they are not "cuddly" or playful like most people expect pets to be.- Because they derive body heat from the ambient air temperature, environmental conditions play a large part in determining their overall behavior.Bearded dragons are rewarding animals to keep in their own way, which is much different from other animals. Much...more
