up outside so we can go for a walk in the fall.<br /><br />A friend of mine recently passed on. A non-smoker with lung cancer.<br /><br />I wonder if living in a town that burns leaves affected her lifespan.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/burn/leafburn2.html">EPA : Residential leaf burning</a><br /><br />Quote from page:<br /><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></p> <blockquote> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Q: What types of air pollutants are emitted from burning leaf piles?</span> </p> <p> A: The open burning of leaves produces particulate matter and hydrocarbons, which contain a number of toxic, irritant, and carcinogenic (cancer-causing) compounds. Leaf smoke also contains carbon monoxide. </p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Q: What is particulate matter and why is it a health concern?</span> </p> <p> A: The visible smoke from leaf burning is composed of tiny particles that contain a number of pollutants. If inhaled, these microscopic particles can reach the deepest regions of the lung and remain there for months or even years. Breathing particulate matter can increase the chances of respiratory infection, reduce the volume of air inhaled and impair the lungs' ability to use that air. Particulate matter can also trigger asthma attacks in some people.<br /> </p> </blockquote><a href="http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/burn/leafburn2.html">www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/burn/leafburn2.html</a><br /><h2 class="ContentSubHeadline"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://illinoistimes.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A7224">More and more <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Springfieldians</span> have asthma</a> <span style="font-style: italic;">Illinois Times</span></span></h2><a href="http://illinoistimes.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A7224">illinoistimes.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A7224</a><br /><h3 class="post-title"><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2007/02/smokers-lungs.html"><span style="font-size:100%;"> Smoker's lungs (photos</span>)</a><br /></h3> <a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/autumn-leaves.html">Autumn Leaves</a><br /></div><br /><center><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=springfieldil-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0743573749&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width: 120px;

Mongolian Bar-B-Que just opened in Springfield, IL.<br /><br />It is located next to the <a href="http://www.familychristian.com/">Family Christian Bookstore </a><br />between the Target and Walmart on the West side of town.<br /><br />It is a really great concept, something like the <a href="http://chicago-restaurants.blogspot.com/2008/01/big-bowl-stir-fry-restaurant-in.html">Big Bowl restaurant</a>, but with a different selection.<br /><br />How this place works...<br /><br />First you select your bowl size (small, medium or large)<br />and then pick out your veggies, meat, shrimp, chicken, pork, tofu, pineapple, mushrooms, noodles, etc.<br /><br />I recommend selecting a little more meat that you think you'll want.<br /><br />I added a lot of tofu which pretty much dissolved in the cooking process.<br />You'd never know it was there.<br /><br />Next you select the sauces.<br /><br />There is a sign explaining the different recipe options for the sauces or you can choose your own.<br /><br />The restaurant's owner was my "sauce steward" and did a great job of adding the sauce for my meal.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try

Delete sale</a> trip, my family shopped at the new <a href="http://www.petsuppliesplus.com/">Pet Supplies Plus</a> store at 805 W. Morton Ave. Their advertising flyer had great coupons in it and we got a fantastic deal on a bag of dog food. If they were in town here, we'd have been back a couple times by now.<br /><br />If you want to see their ad, visit their website at:<br /><a href="http://www.petsuppliesplus.com/zipcode/states/illinois.html">www.petsuppliesplus.com/zipcode/states/illinois.html</a><br />and click on the Jacksonville address: 805 W. Morton Ave.<br /><br />The pet food store is hosting special events on November 8 and 9th, 2008.<br /><br />Check their ad for details.<br /><br />Their official website is at:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.petsuppliesplus.com/">www.petsuppliesplus.com</a><br /><br />The local paper's article regarding the new store is at:<br /><a href="http://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/open_19700___article.html/pet_based.html">www.myjournalcourier.com/news/open_19700___article.html/pet_based.html</a><br /><br />Quote from article:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">" Niemann Foods Inc., based in Quincy, will open a Pet Supplies “Plus” store at 1805 W. Morton Ave., in early November, according to a company official.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">The pet supply store, which will be located next to the Dollar General and Goodwill stores, will have more than 7,000 square feet of space and will offer an array of pet foods, toys and related items, as well as small animals and fish. However, it will not sell cats or dogs, according to Gerry Kettler, director of consumer affairs for Niemann Foods.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">“The store will be a pet-friendly shopping experience, and pet owners are encouraged to bring their animals along while they shop,” said Mr. Kettler. The store will also have an animal obedience training area.

An opening date hasn’t been announced, but it’s likely to be in November.<br /><br />“It’s coming along nicely,” said Chris Hruby, who will be general manager of the steakhouse. “The building is up, and work is continuing both outside and inside.” General contractor is Joyner Construction.<br /><br />Golden Corral family-style restaurants offer a buffet with hot meats, pasta, pizza, fresh vegetables, salad bar and a selection of carved meats at dinner and on Sundays. In the bakery, yeast rolls, cookies and brownies are baked fresh every 15 minutes.<br /><br />Check these pages for updates:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sj-r.com/food">www.sj-r.com/food</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sj-r.com/business">www.sj-r.com/business</a><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=lang_en&as_qdr=all&q=golden+corral+site%3Awww.sj-r.com&btnG=Search"><br />Search SJ-R.com for "Golden Corral"</a><br /><a href="http://www.sj-r.com/business"></a></blockquote><br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">More Springfield Photos!<br /></span></span> <h3 class="post-title"><a style="font-weight: normal;" href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/09/humphreys-bakerycoming-soon.html"><span style="font-size:100%;"> Humphrey's Bakery is open!</span></a><br /></h3> <a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/golden-corral-is-now-open.html">Golden Corral is now open!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/golden-corral-weekend-breakfast-buffet.html">Golden Corral Weekend Breakfast Buffet</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></span><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/cara-mongolian-bar-b-que.html">Cara Mongolian Bar-B-Que</a><br /><br /><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/bible-across-america-project-visits.html">Bible Across America project visits Springfield</a><br /><br /><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/maisenbacher-house-getting-ready-to.html">Maisenbacher house getting ready to move</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></span><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-pet-supplies-plus-store-opens-in.html">New Pet Supplies Plus store opens in Jacksonville, IL</a><br /><br /><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/windsurfing-in-november-on-lake.html">Windsurfing in November on Lake Springfield</a><br /><br /><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/trick-or-treating-photos.html">Trick or Treating photos</a><br /><br /><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/11/boorito-day-at-chipotle-mexican-grill.html">BooRito Day at Chipotle Mexican Grill</a><br /><br /><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/10/watts-southwind-park-shrimp-boil-party.html">Watts Southwind Park Shrimp Boil Party</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></span><a href="http://springfieldphotos.blogspot.com/2008/04/photos-from-drive-down-s-sixth-street.html">Photos from a drive down S.
