August 2010 - HEALTH NOTE: Allergy Myths...BUSTED
As if suffering from allergies isn’t enough, many allergy sufferers have to sift through conflicting evidence to separate fact from fiction. To set the record straight, here are some of the more common myths about allergies and the facts that debunk them: 1) “I have a…
Beware Of Alligator
With the island bursting at the seams with tourists this time of year, we thought it was high time for a brush-up course on our favorite lagoon loungers: gators. Yes, we think they’re pretty special too, but common sense tells us to admire them from…
Bigfoot….carbon that is
Sasquatch. Ten foot tall. 500 pounds. His foot, double the size of a shoebox! Do you believe? The scientific community considers Bigfoot to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoaxes. But a bigger “Bigfoot” has come to life, and the scientific community considers it to…
E.A.C. • The Next Generation
As Patrick Epperson, Jr. was explaining Internet-based HVAC (heat, ventilation air conditioning) monitoring and control systems, Pat Epperson, Sr. listened attentively to his son. “I’m learning something here, too,” he said, smiling. “There is definitely a new generation of equipment, of communicating. It’s the next wave,”…
Leading The Way: Green Building in the Lowcountry
Have you heard? Green is the future of the building industry. No, that doesn’t mean we’re all going to live in houses of the same color. “Green” is the catchall phrase for technologies and materials that improve a building’s energy efficiency. If you pay utility…
Looking For An Excellent Adventure? Find It ON THE WATER

Protect Your Skin! DERMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY
EAU D’ WHAT? Not all things French are sexy and sophisticated. Take the term “p’eau d’orange,” for instance. P’eau d’orange means “like the skin of an orange,” which is basically what your face looks like with sun damage—raised, bumpy, tough, less than attractive. Sun damage is…
Quail Hunting on Rowe Farms: The C2 crew heads to Estill, SC for a day of Lowcountry fun with Jimmy Rowe.
Home Sweet Home One could not have asked for a more gracious host than Mr. Rowe. As we pulled down the long driveway to the lodge at Rowe Farms, three four-legged greeters came to meet us with tails wagging. A roaring fire pit surrounded by rocking…

The Answer is Blowin’ the Wind
Wind is air convection currents caused by the sun’s uneven heating of the earth’s surface. Earth’s rotation, terrain and land/water mix all contribute to wind flows. For example, during the day, air over land warms quicker and rises, causing cooler marine air to rush in.…
Water: Where is it all going?
Water…… a.k.a. H20. Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. A pretty simple formula it seems. Maybe that’s why water is so abundant. Our world is made up of over 70 percent water, so it seems like there could never be a shortage. Unfortunately only one…
