Mother Nature is about to put on a show. A large solar storm hit the Earth's atmosphere and will tonight illuminate the skies with aurora borealis -- also known as the Northern Lights. They should be visible in the northern plains, the Pacific Northwest and northern New England. For the best views, avoid city lights and hope the skies are clear. Light from the waning Supermoon may also interfere. The lights may be visible as soon as the skies are dark and clear, but the best time to watch will be around midnight in each time zone. Here's an AccuWeather map of the viewing area:

The storm is rated G3 on a five-point scale -- the biggest in more than a year. The two solar eruptions responsible for tonight's show forced some flights to be rerouted. GPS systems and radio transmissions may also be degraded through tomorrow.

Bremont Homes (http://www.BremontHomes.com), the Greater Toronto Area’s finest home building company, is pleased to announce that its luxury model home, the Excelsior, is the last home available in the prestigious Crown of Creditview community in Brampton.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) September 22, 2014

Bremont Homes (http://www.BremontHomes.com), the Greater Toronto Area’s finest home building company, is pleased to announce that its luxury model home, the Excelsior, is the last home available in the prestigious Crown of Creditview community in Brampton.

“Of the 17 luxury, custom-designed estates that make up our Crown of Creditview community, only the model home remains,” says Gary Breda, president of Bremont Homes. “The rapid pace at which we sold out the Crown of Creditview community is testament to the quality, innovation, and craftsmanship that we put into each and every home.”

The Crown of Creditview is situated on 50’ hilltop lots overlooking the protected forest and fields of Eldorado Park and the Credit River. The community is also central to major transportation hubs, including Queen Street (Highway 6), Mississauga Road, and highways 401 and 407. The Crown of Creditview community is also close to downtown Brampton, schools, restaurants, shopping, golf, parks, and other activities.

Breda explains that the 2,500-square-foot Excelsior is a two-story brick manor with three bedrooms, two baths, and a two-car garage. The lucky owner of the Excelsior will be captivated by the open-concept interiors, hardwood floors, two-story cathedral ceiling in the living room, and innovative features. The gourmet kitchen includes a three-person eat-at island, innovative soft-close kitchen cabinetry, a double stainless steel kitchen sink, and a top-of-the-line six-burner range.

“As the last remaining property at the Crown of Creditview, the model home is an excellent opportunity for those looking to move into a luxury manor without having to wait for the construction process,” Breda adds. “Because it’s the model home, potential buyers know it has been kept in impeccable condition. It has also never been lived in, the appliances have never been used, and the interior has been decorated by a professional and comes with many customized features.”

Breda concludes by advising that those interested in the last remaining property at the exclusive Crown of Creditview community and a viewing of the Excelsior are encouraged to contact a Bremont Homes representative at 905-230-3339 to set up an appointment.

Recognized as one of the Greater Toronto Area’s finest home building companies, Bremont Homes is founded on a vision of quality design and workmanship, innovative style, and exceptional customer service.

Topical BioMedics (Topricin) Celebrates 20 Years of Providing Hope and Quality of Life...As Topricin Is Declared “The 21st Century Standard of Care for Pain Management”

Established in September 1994, Topical BioMedics has grown from humble beginnings in a garage to a company with a national presence. For the past 20 years, their Topricin pain relief & healing cream technology has positively changing the lives of pain sufferers from coast to coast.

Rhinebeck, NY (PRWEB) September 22, 2014

Topical BioMedics, Inc., is celebrating 20 years of dedicated commitment helping those in pain end their suffering, restoring hope an quality of life and contributing to a sustainable healthcare model. This is only possible because of the innovative cellular biomedicines research that made Topricin® pain relief and healing cream technology a reality.

The company was founded in 1994 in a garage in Rhinebeck, NY, by Lou Paradise (president, chief of research, and Topricin inventor), Aurora Paradise (COO) and Steve Duricko (vice president). A number of other influential companies have had the same humble beginning, including; Harley-Davidson, Disney, Amazon, Apple, and Google. Although Topical BioMedics has expanded several times over the past 20 years, it has remained headquartered in Rhinebeck, NY.    

Topical BioMedics started with four dedicated staff members--all of whom still work for the company. It now has far more employees at its Rhinebeck headquarters, as well as team members on the West Coast and 75 brokers across the country. In addition, it has numerous “brand ambassadors,” from professional athletic strength and conditioning coaches to the Rockettes, and from PGA golfers to mommy bloggers.

Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream was invented by Lou Paradise, a decorated US Marine Corps combat veteran with decades of experience researching pain physiology, how the body heals, and the application of natural medicines to maximize the body’s desire to heal the cause of pain at the cellular level. Following two tours of duty in Vietnam as a helicopter combat/rescue crew chief, Mr. Paradise sustained cumulative trauma injuries from the physical demands of combat and flying countless rescue missions of fellow Marines, Air Force, and Navy personnel, as well as Vietnamese civilians. His knowledge of physiology and what was causing his pain eliminated surgery as an option, as well as chemical pain pills, which have no healing or curative power. His early experiments on himself focused on using a unique combination of homeopathic biomedicines to judge their safely and efficacy while proving his injuries could be treated on a cellular repair optimum healing level....Which resulted in the birth of the first Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream formula.

In addition to his primary work in physiology and natural biomedicines, Mr. Paradise is an expert in the treatment of sports/work related trauma injuries, and lends his natural medicines background as a member of the American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists. Mr. Paradise regularly addresses clinical audiences on the use of his company's proprietary topical healing technologies in the treatment of acute and chronic pain, trauma injury (including post-surgical trauma), diabetic and chemo-induced neuropathy, and improving clinical outcomes.    

Innovative Healing Technology
As a complement to primary care, Topricin bridges the gap between well-researched natural biomedicines and the conventional medical community. Topricin has been designated "The 21st Century standard of care for pain management" by Woodson Merrell, MD, executive director, Center for Health & Healing, and is featured in Dr. Merrell’s bestselling book The Detox Prescription.

Mr. Paradise says “Topricin works because it addresses what is actually causing the pain. Pain is the body’s unique, vital signal that when we are injured, and is saying ‘I am trying to repair damaged or inflamed muscle, joint, or nerve cells, and need some help to balance healing chemistries to get there.’

“In order for healing to begin, the body needs help removing excess fluids and toxins from the affected area, such as joints, nerves, and muscle where we experience most of our pain. This takes the pressure off the micro-capillaries--the only blood supply to these cells--so that oxygen-rich blood can then flow to the area, and optimum healing can begin. Topricin works by first stimulating the lymphatic system at the pain site to drain toxins and excess fluids from the affected area and assist the return of oxygen-rich blood flow to the cells for maximum repair and healing.

“Conversely, when we take oral pain medications or use topical ointments with menthol, camphor, and other counter-irritants, they do nothing to promote healing. In fact, these chemical-laden products literally shut down the healing process. Worse, all pain pills are chemicals and are toxic to the body. So instead of the body using its healing energy to repair the cause of pain, that energy is diverted to rid itself from the toxic pain pills we just took. I am humbled by the fact that Topricin’s healing technology reduces or eliminates the need /dependency on all classifications of oral pain pills, including opiates, and the side effects they produce.”

Product Evolution
Originally launched in 1994 at a local county fair, Topricin has become the favorite lifestyle product for busy, active people nationwide. This includes professional athletes, as well as vendors and attendees for many expos and convention events around the country. Topricin is also widely used by heath care practitioners from coast to coast.

“Most importantly, we are dedicated to supporting walks, runs and cycling fund-raising events for foundations trying to find a cure for diseases such as diabetes, cancer (adult and pediatric), cardiovascular disease, autism, Crohn’s and colitis, and others,” says Mrs. Paradise.“ Many more people are encouraged to take part in these events as they could not believe how fast and effective Topricin works, as it makes it possible to do these physical activities without pain.”    

In addition to the original pain cream, Topical BioMedics offers two additional formulas, introduced in 2009: Topricin Foot Therapy Cream to address the challenges of diabetic neuropathy and many foot and ankle ailments, and Topricin for Children, which has received the Parent Tested/Parent Approved Seal of Approval, with 5% of gross sales donated to a pediatric cancer care foundation. Exciting new formulas are currently under development, and should be announced in late 2014/early 2015.

Topricin products have the distinction of being the only topical biomedicines patented for the treatment of pain associated with neuropathy (chemo-induced and diabetic) and fibromyalgia. “We are simply delighted that our products are changing positively how doctors and patients diagnose and treat pain while proving it is possible to reverse the devastating effects that the epidemic of Rx opioid addiction, which is affecting people from every walk of life around our country,” says Mr. Paradise.”        

Social Entrepreneurs
In 2014, Topical BioMedics was designated as a Certified B Corp by the nonprofit organization B Lab. B-Lab requires companies to go through a rigorous set of standards to demonstrate their social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. By meeting these higher standards, Certified B Corps are distinguishing themselves from other for-profit companies by offering a positive vision of a better way to do business. To become a certified B Corp, a business must prove that it cares as much about society and the environment as it does about profits.

There are currently more than 1,110 Certified B Corps from 35 countries. The vibrant community includes such respected companies as Ben & Jerry’s, Better World Books, Cabot Creamery, Care2, Dansko, Etsy, King Arthur Flour, Patagonia, Seventh Generation, The Honest Company, and Uncommon Goods.

“Being social entrepreneurs has been a big part of our philosophy from the beginning, and I am honored our company has received our B-Corp certification,” says Mr. Paradise. “For the past twenty years, our mission has been to restore hope and quality of life to the millions of people who suffer in pain and is a primary reason for developing Topricin healing technology. And since there is no more important environment than the human body, we are gratified that our formulas have been shown to treat pain effectively to reduce the need/dependency on all classifications of chemical pain pills. With Rx opiate addiction at epidemic proportions, we are honored to be providing doctors and their patients with viable, vibrant treatment protocols and a tool such as Topricin that is helping to reverse this tragic trend.

“We are grateful that B Lab has recognized our efforts in caring for society as well as running a robust, healthy, growing business. I believe that doing the right, fair, sound things first is the first step in being the change as well as being good citizens of the world. It also proves that sustainability and profitability go hand and hand. I applaud B Lab for establishing a vibrant new platform that defines what it means to use business as a force for good, and to be truly successful on all levels.”

'Wacko Birds' Author to Palin: Hillary Wants to Be 'Snapchat Candidate' to Erase Her Past

'Wacko Birds' Author to Palin: Hillary Wants to Be 'Snapchat Candidate' to Erase Her Past In an interview with Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at her Alaska home, Wacko Birds author and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel Pollak said Hillary Clinton will try to be 2016's "Snapchat candidate" because she desperately wants to erase her past. 

Palin, who revolutionized the way in which social media sets the news cycle, invited Pollak--who worked with the late Andrew Breitbart, the new media pioneer who started one of the most prominent news outlets in the new media era--for a discussion about his new book. And the two surely discussed the importance of pop culture and non-legacy outlets in conservatism's future, among many other topics.  

Pollak, the author of Wacko Birds: The Fall (and Rise) of the Tea Party, mentioned that Barack Obama "emerged simultaneously with Facebook" in 2004 and candidate Obama in 2008 "was whatever Facebook users wanted him to be." 

"People could fill that blank space," Pollak said of Obama's crowdsourced campaign that employed some prominent former Facebook officials and ran circles around Hillary Clinton's stodgier and more flat-footed apparatus.

Pollak said that younger people are using Snapchat to communicate because their messages expire soon after they are sent. Even potential 2016 candidates like Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) have adopted the new social platform, which Pollak noted was recently valued at $10 billion and appealing to younger people who want to send "naughty pictures that disappear."

"Hillary Clinton Wants to be the Snapchat candidate because she wants to make her past disappear," Pollak told Palin. 

Palin observed that the Clintons have the "luxury of reinventing themselves as much as they want" because they have a compliant media that is more than willing and able to help them. That is a luxury, as Palin discovered, conservatives--and outsiders of all stripes in general--do not have.

After observing that today's kids probably think Facebook and Instagram are passé, Palin, whose personal emails were once infamously hacked (the hacker eventually received a one-year jail sentence.), asked Pollak, "And do [Snapchat users] think it really disappears forever." Palin's right--the "snaps" don't really completely disappear.

Palin and Pollak discussed how even regarding the most recent events involving Hillary Clinton, the media conveniently want to shove her failures--like Benghazi--under the rug. And they often ignore that Clinton was Obama's Secretary of State whenever she jabs Obama's foreign policy failures. 

"Everyone forgets that she was in charge of that foreign policy for four years," Palin said. "That was your territory. That was your department."

Pollak told Palin he believed that "people want to forget because they want the fantasy of whatever it is she represents."

But because of Matt Drudge, the late Breitbart, and the rise of social media that has amplified the voices of conservatives like Palin even more, it will be more difficult to whitewash Clintons's record should she enter the 2016 presidential race.

Three years before Matt Drudge changed the news business forever by breaking Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky on his website, the Clinton White House feared that the Internet would weaken the mainstream media's palace guards.

"Moreover, it allows an extraordinary amount of unregulated data and information to be located in one area and available to all," a 1995 Clinton White House memo stated. "The right wing has seized upon the Internet as a means of communicating its ideas to people. Moreover, evidence exists that Republican staffers surf the Internet, interacting with extremists in order to exchange ideas and information.”

Palin, whom I dubbed the "Great CommuniTweeter," praised Drudge in a 2012 speech, saying the naysayers who denounced the man "without a degree or a pedigree" for trying to "influence the national discourse" because they knew he "wasn’t beholden to the old media’s machine and the Thought Police."

Drudge told the National Press Club a few months after breaking the Lewinsky bombshell that he envisioned a future "where there’ll be 300 million reporters, where anyone from anywhere can report for any reason. It’s freedom of participation absolutely realized.” 

Palin told new media devotees that "you are the future he predicted!" 

Drudge has now become the de facto assignment editor for the mainstream media reporters and editors who once lambasted his website. Similarly, political operatives, mainstream media writers, and everyone else in the permanent political class who mocked Palin for bypassing them and Tweeting to get her message out in 2009 now obsessively use Twitter, often compulsively checking in the first thing in the morning and right before they go to sleep. 

As Pollak details in his book, since Obama was elected, the mainstream media have given favorable treatment to Occupy Wall Street while denouncing the more peaceful Tea Party movement. They combed through Palin's records--and found nothing--while ignoring Obama's past and his administration's scandals--like the IRS's targeting of conservatives. The media tried to amplify stories about anti-illegal immigration rallies that drew few supporters while fabricating the number of supporters at pro-amnesty rallies to make them seem larger and more powerful than they were. The media blamed Palin and the Tea Party for Gabby Giffords' assassination attempt before they had any evidence about the shooter's politics or motives. It turns out the shooter was apolitical and may have been offended that Giffords was cold to him at a previous event. That same media also blamed the Aurora, Colorado shootings on the Tea Party without any evidence whatsoever. 

But new media outlets were also able to expose and combat these lies more ferociously than ever before. The late Andrew Breitbart, who worked with Drudge for many years behind the scenes, deftly used Twitter to maximize its "force multiplier" effect. And Pollak's book details "the important role played by Andrew Breitbart and conservative new media in defending the Tea Party at several critical moments" in the Obama era.

But, as Pollak goes into depth in his book, Tea Party conservatives still face challenges even as they make plenty of advances in the new media era. If Hillary Clinton runs in 2016, the media will redouble their efforts to again elect one of their own. And much like Team Hillary will have to learn from Obama's successes and failures, Tea Party conservatives must learn from their triumphs and mistakes in the Obama era that Pollak details in his book to combat the Hillary industrial complex. 

"I think that's going to be very tough to overcome unless conservatives can start to play in the pop culture," Pollak said in an interview with Palin that was filmed before the debut of CBS's Sunday debut of Madam Secretary, a show about a female Secretary of State that could just as well be a campaign ad for Hillary Clinton's potential presidential campaign.

Open Carry Texas: Women
Has Been Optimized

A “Goddesses with Guns” rally on Saturday in San Antonio, Tx., drew more men than women.

The rally was promoted by Open Carry Texas: Women, which is part of Open Carry Texas, a pro-gun group whose members carry assault rifles into stores and restaurants.

KSAT reported that "about a dozen women" showed up at the Open Carry Texas: Women rally (video below).

The San Antonio Express-News noted that 40 people attended the event and the "men slightly outnumbered women at the rally."

Open Carry Texas: Women member/founder Emily Grisham, who is married to Open Carry Texas (OCT) founder CJ Grisham, says the gun-toting group was founded in response to the gun safety group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

“[Moms Demand Action doesn't] hold the copyright on speaking for all women and all mothers,” stated Emily, who wants to debunk the “myth that OCT is just a bunch of redneck men that all they do is go out there and scare women and scare their children. We don't.”

Liberaland.com reports that one mom carried a rifle while holding her baby.

“The statistics prove that a gun in the home does not make a woman safer,” stated Sandy Phillips, whose daughter was killed in a mass shooting inside an Aurora, Colorado movie theater in 2012. “It actually endangers her life.”

“Most Americans do not want to be shopping with people who are open-carrying weapons,” added Phillips. “It's intimidation. It's bullying. I don't care if it's a woman or a man.”

The John Hopkins Center for Gun Policy Research found that American "women living in a home with one or more guns were three times more likely to be murdered; for women who had been abused by their partner, their risk of being murdered rose fivefold if the partner owned a gun," noted The Guardian. "Nor did guns make the women safer; women who purchased guns were 50% more likely to be killed by an intimate partner."

A Harvard study and a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that owning a gun doesn't increase one's safety in the U.S., but actually increases the danger because most gun shot victims are killed by family or friends.

What's The Difference Between Solar Flares And CMEs?

$

*[ Watch The Video: The Difference Between CMEs And Solar Flares ] *

*Max Gleber, NASA *

There are many kinds of eruptions on the sun. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections both involve gigantic explosions of energy, but are otherwise quite different. The two phenomena do sometimes occur at the same time – indeed the strongest flares are almost always correlated with coronal mass ejections – but they emit different things, they look and travel differently, and they have different effects near planets.

Both eruptions are created when the motion of the sun’s interior contorts its own magnetic fields. Like the sudden release of a twisted rubber band, the magnetic fields explosively realign, driving vast amounts of energy into space. This phenomenon can create a sudden flash of light -- a solar flare. Flares can last minutes to hours and they contain tremendous amounts of energy. Traveling at the speed of light, it takes eight minutes for the light from a solar flare to reach Earth. Some of the energy released in the flare also accelerates very high energy particles that can reach Earth in tens of minutes.

The magnetic contortions can also create a different kind of explosion that hurls solar matter into space. These are the coronal mass ejections, also known as CMEs. One can think of the explosions using the physics of a cannon. The flare is like the muzzle flash, which can be seen anywhere in the vicinity. The CME is like the cannonball, propelled forward in a single, preferential direction, this mass ejected from the barrel only affecting a targeted area. This is the CME—an immense cloud of magnetized particles hurled into space. Traveling over a million miles per hour, the hot material called plasma takes up to three days to reach Earth. The differences between the two types of explosions can be seen through solar telescopes, with flares appearing as a bright light and CMEs appearing as enormous fans of gas swelling into space.

Flares and CMEs have different effects at Earth as well. The energy from a flare can disrupt the area of the atmosphere through which radio waves travel. This can lead to degradation and, at worst, temporary blackouts in navigation and communications signals.

On the other hand, CMEs can funnel particles into near-Earth space. A CME can jostle Earth’s magnetic fields creating currents that drive particles down toward Earth's poles. When these react with oxygen and nitrogen, they help create the aurora, also known as the Northern and Southern Lights. Additionally, the magnetic changes can affect a variety of human technologies. High frequency radio waves can be degraded: Radios transmit static, and GPS coordinates stray by a few yards. The magnetic oscillations can also create electrical currents in utility grids on Earth that can overload electrical systems when power companies are not prepared.

One thing is the same about flares and CMEs: A fleet of NASA heliophysics observatories in space are always on the watch for these explosions. Much like how we forecast thunderstorms and rain showers, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center runs simulations and can make predictions about when the CME will arrive at Earth based on this and other data. They then alert appropriate groups so that power companies, airlines, and other stakeholders can take precautions in the event of a solar storm. For example, if a strong CME is on its way—utility companies can redirect power loads to protect the grids.

Autumn is the perfect season for travellers going to experience the Northern Lights in Iceland. BestForeignExchange.com offers the best exchange rates for the Icelandic Króna.

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 23 September 2014

While many travellers believe winter is the best time to experience the Northern Lights in Iceland, autumn is a better option where the weather is mild and the skies are much clearer. BestForeignExchange.com offers the most competitive exchange rates for Icelandic Króna this season.

During this season, there is no need to take out the snow gear and the chances of clear skies are high during the autumn. 21st of September will mark the start of the Northern Lights season and in coming months auroras can be witnessed the same as the more colder period of the year reported Travel Magazine on 12th August.

The upcoming months are an ideal time to visit Iceland. Apart from the Northern Lights, beautiful autumn colours of the forest and wild life is possible during this period. The Travel Magazine further reported that, “The autumn colours in the forests provide an unbelievable backdrop to see the lights, as the contrast between the amber tones of the trees and green of the Aurora is simply mystical, all made more intense by the depth of the darkness that surrounds it.”

“The travellers selecting some remote locations to witness varieties of the marvellous viewing experience will face practical difficulties to find ATMs closer to camping sites. Using your credit or debit card will attract additional bank charges while exchanging Pounds, Euros, and Dollars at hotels and restaurants, which will give an adverse exchange rate.
