Skip to comments.Congress bans incandescent bulbs
Posted on 12/19/2007 5:40:50 PM PST by kc8ukw
In addition to raising auto fuel efficiency standards 40 percent, an energy bill passed by Congress yesterday bans the incandescent light bulb by 2014.
President Bush signed the 822-page measure into law today after it was sent up Pennsylvania Avenue in a Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle. The House passed the bill by a 314-100 vote after approval by the Senate last week.

Wake up, Sheeple, Contact your reps NOW -
Get these links out to RUSH -
http://ellsworthmaine.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7446&Itemid=31 .
And remind your reps and RUSH that millions of these bulbs will NOT be taken to hazardous waste stations but tossed into regular trash - resulting in mercury contamination of every landfill in the country
Time for a tea party, folks
"God helps them what helps themselves"
He gave us a free country with RIGHTS - it's up to the "us" in the US to keep them
Mandating it is stupid—I agree—but you are way off base on the 'dangers' of CFLs, especially since by the end of the year, new bulbs coming out will have about 1 / 200th of that of an old thermometer and will reduce more mercury from coal plants than has in them. I've also posted 2 stories (and can provide dozens more if you want) that show that story in Maine is bunk.
Just wait until the old people who aren't paying attention to this go out and try to by a light bulb on January 1, 2014. This is going to lead to a major firestorm before it's all done.
Hell, my wife insisted on picking one of those out and it can hardly clean sand off a plastic dinner plate if you put it in it...
read this 'bunk"
especially the detailed instructions on what to do if y ou break one
Thanks for the info. I had not heard that.
But will they be any good in light fixtures that only accept 60 watts? because the next step is already in the process - mandating light fixtures/lamps that can only take up to 60 watts
Does flourescent gas hurt the ozone ?
The prius does not get that great gas mileage in the real world and the prius heater does not work when in the 'pc' electric mode.
idiot politicans.
So who lied?
see post 313
and I very much doubt this was made up by Maine - but what the national rules are on this -
Perfect example of industry helping to spread a lie in order to sell their product. Just like Dupont and fluorocarbons damaging the Ozone.
REad post 313
BTW, I live here - I'm in the newspaper business here - I might have a little more info on it - just maybe.,
But read here what the State's rules are on what to do if you break one - and don't think this isn't already in your state or will be...
There's more details in the bill; the one I like best is a clause through which certain excluded bulb types fall under a stricter regulatory regime if they exceed DOE-modeled sales for one year. So if you all do as you're threatening and start buying incandescents by the truckload, you're just going to increase the scope of the regulation and make it harder for those of us who don't hoard light bulbs.
I just drove 18 miles round-trip to dispose of 10 fluorescent tubes at the haz waste facility. I have two more trips to go before I get rid of my many years of tubes. (They only take 10 per day per person!) 18 miles ~ 1 gallon of gas at $3.16/gal plus the time and aggravation. (Especially when I know most folks just toss them in the garbage anyway - which is probably fine too as they end up in a sealed landfill).
I'm still wondering about the UV rays emitted. On GE's website, they assure prospective buyers that,
"regular fluorescent bulbs used in your home or office do not produce a hazardous amount of UV. Most light sources, including fluorescent bulbs, emit a small amount of UV, but the UV produced by fluorescent light bulbs is far less than the amount produced by natural daylight."
Excuse me while I don't trust my genetic and ocular health to the GE marketing department, but I'm not so sure that 40 years of many hours a day of exposure won't cause problems.
What if I accidentally break a fluorescent bulb in my home?
The most important thing to remember is to never use a vacuum . A standard vacuum will spread mercury containing dust throughout the area as well as potentially contaminating the vacuum. What you should do is:
The next time you replace a bulb, consider putting a drop cloth on the floor so that any accidental breakage can be easily cleaned up.
A false inference, it would appear! Note that this could only apply to the hoarding of "certain excluded bulb types". So the clause is aimed at a post-ban shift in buying habits. The common light-bulb will not be available for purchase in this regime.
On my list of things to do:
buy a ton of 40w bulbs.
I'm thinkin' that I'm going to buy the store blind.
Yep, I'm talkin' 'bout those fixtures having multiple sockets. I can't tell you how long there's been a mere 60w bulb in one of three sockets.
In fact: I'll buy the store stupid of all its 20w bulbs.
You'll see...
Me too. I despise the light they produce, and hate to read by fluorecent lights. I can live with halogen. Once again, I can't believe how we are FORCED to obey.
Right, but they just evacuated a school and sent in a hazmat team because some science lab broke a mercury thermometer.
I've got a Toto and I love it.
PLEASE post tha on ALL eco-geek threads! That is so freaking STUPID! Send to your Congressman also.
Good Grief!! Ron Paul is CRAZY...and has NO Humor in him.
My father bought one of the new compact lights more than 10 years ago. It's still working.
BTW, I have one of the original GE commercially viable fluorescent light fixtures (circa 1938/39) used by my grandfather. They still produce bulbs that fit in it.
No doubt Congress means well, but they are all a bunch of ignorant hillbillies ~ the best new thing coming along is the Light Emitting Diode lamp.
If Congress-critters actually cared they'd taken that $40 billion in earmarks for horsestalls and butterfly footpeddle park boats and dropped it on some happy camper for the purpose of actualizing an inexpensive LED spotlight!
You sure won't. :-(
Around my house switching to the new bulbs has saved enough electricity that we offset the costs of heating water. For those who don't bathe thee will, of course, be no such offset.
Avoid the electronic bells and whistles and you'll do just fine.
My sister in law bought one of the top end machines. It's virtually silent and has violet and purple glowing lights with a full electronic display system.
It was annoying to watch ~ like a really bad lead-in to a sci-fi cartoon.
"But will they be any good in light fixtures that only accept 60 watts? because the next step is already in the process - mandating light fixtures/lamps that can only take up to 60 watts"
What business is it of the government how much light we wish to use in our own homes? We're PAYING the electric bill, aren't we? What's next? Outlaw ovens and mandate microwaves? Jigger cars so that they'll turn off if some government prick thinks we're driving too far? Or just outlaw our cars entirely if they're too old to be "environmentally friendly"?
I am angrier about this than I was about the immigration bill, and I guess at the root of that is the feeling that MY side... excuse me, OUR side... you know, the side that's supposed to be standing up for Truth, Justice and the American way is just as bad as those demented, evil cretins on the RAT side.
And, yes, I DO blame George W. Bush. And yes, he didn't write the bill. But he did sign it. And I don't care if it DOES fund the war. In fact, if it was a choice between taking away our right to have light bulbs (I can't even believe I'm TYPING that!) and taking away the war funding - I'd choose to take away the war funding in a heartbeat. Then make a speech and explain to the American public WHY, and have congress re-write a bill that didn't invade our homes and tell us what products we could or could not buy in the name of some environmental insanity. But Bush, as with the "campaign finance bill", took the easy way out, and decided that screwing America was the easier course of action.
We use led bulbs for the tree now. They're actually quite nice.
The absolute lowest price front-loader I found when we were washer shopping back Thanksgiving week was at Lowes - it was for a Fisher & Paykel front-loader. It was (and still is) $599. My concern - according the salesman who actually was pushing that washer, is that it can take 3-4 weeks for repairs because they have to order the parts - from overseas....
Our neighbor has high-end Whirlpool front load washer and dryer - and the washer went out last year. It took over 6 weeks for the parts to come in for the warranty repair to be done...
I dunno - if I spend $1200-1400 for a washer, not only do I expect not to need warranty work to begin with, but if I do - I certainly don't expect it to take more than a few days.
All that being said - I would actually like a front-loader. They use less water, and from what I have seen - actually do a better job of cleaning clothes.
truman left office with a 22% approval rating and is now considered one of our most effective presidents. i don't really care what bush's ratings are as most americans don't. we elect a president to make tough choices that in many cases the majority of us differ with. too bad. good luck running a country on polls.
GOD BLESS GW BUSH. I don't doubt in 10 years he will be judged a good to great president...despite your feelings.

I do have one of the newer toilets, about $100.
Her Heinous has already spoken on this. She can't be responsible for every under-capitalized small business man.
Has she spoken on fish tanks?
And in the school books children will learn how Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb but how the Party deemed them inefficient and made them better.
I really hate this crap.
This is the refrigerant freon fiasco all over again.
only this time we have the internet.
I wonder how the artsy fartsy crowd is going to deal with their candelabra lights.
mail order.
They've outlawed certain guns, knives, drugs, DDT, Cuban Cigars, tiolets, showerheads, CFCs, and zillions of other things. Do light bulbs have some Constitutional protection I am unaware of?

I had to contact the management office several times to get items repaired. One big issue that I had was that Read Morethe entry door had at one time been kicked in. All that was done for repair to the jamb was to use finishing nails to hold it in place. I complained enough and finally the door jamb was replaced. When I did move out, I was denied my deposit. I had barely any furniture in the apartment, but the management company claimed that the walls were scraped and had to be repainted. Not very nice.
December 27, 2013
Management was always very rude...
Parking is horrible to come home to nomatter what time of day.
Mainte Read Morenance was rude as well, there are so many an yet they do a poor job in replacement.
Residents whom live there are not friendly, an the place itself is not kid friendly at all.

In addition to the standard deposit fees, they tried adding a "new carpet" deposit for me to pay at move in, b Read Moreut since the lease had already been signed, I fought it and they removed the deposit and installed new carpet anyway. Then 7 months later when I moved out, they kept my full deposit and charged me for brand new carpet anyway! Total cost for me upon move out was about $500 including the deposit they kept! Unbelievable! I do NOT recommend them.

Skip to comments.Barack Obama Still Fighting to Keep His Blackberry
Posted on 11/27/2008 7:20:56 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
It's become a cause for some: to let Barack Obama keep his BlackBerry when he takes office.
What stands in the way? The primary concern has been the Presidential Records Act, which requires all presidential documents to be put in the official record.
Now, realistically, no matter what people say, it's not so much about national security as it is as making sure that if a "Watergate" happens, We The People have plenty of evidence to back it up. Ans as that's the issue, what's the problem.
We can track his cell phone calls. We can track his emails. So let him keep the BlackBerry (shoot, let him get a BlackBerry Bold or Storm if he wants).
Last night Barbara Walters had an exclusive interview with Barack Obama and Michelle Obama on ABC. Besides suggesting a dog for the Obamas (who doesn't nowadays?), she ask him about his beloved BlackBerry.
"One of the things that I'm going to have to work through is how to break through the isolation, the bubble that exists around the president. And I'm in the process of negotiating with the Secret Service, with lawyers, with White House staff ... to figure out how can I get information from outside of the 10 or 12 people who surround my office in the White House? Because one of the worst things I think that can happen to a president is losing touch with the struggles that people are going through every day."
After all, he has to be able to keep in touch with Oprah. Seriously, though, Obama used technology to his advantage during the election. He's going to be the first president with a laptop (though we don't know if it's going to be Windows or Mac --- I predict Windows because it's probably easier to fit into the rest of the White House IT infrastructure), so why not the first President with a BlackBerry?
Otherwise, our President may be experiencing the withdrawal shown in this video:
I think the boy needs to grow up he has not the foggist idea what this is all about plus just who will he be talking to on that thing
Might I suggest a myspace account? That would be so totally cool to be on his friends list. We could be BFFs (which I believe stands for Ben Folds Five, although I'm not entirely sure what that means).
If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
I think that Obama is showing just how little he understands what he has gotten himself (and us, unfortunately) into. I think that he doesn't have a clue what he is going to do. He certainly doesn't know the proper protocol for a "POTUS in waiting", just as neither Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton seem to know the proper role of a former POTUS.
Simple choice ~ withdraw now and keep his Blackberry, or decide to be voted in and give it up.
I hope that latest briefing with President Bush let him know how utterly dangerous being President really is, and that there are people out there who really do want to kill you no matter what you do or how many butts you kiss.
We've got a teenager going to the White House. Oh, God.
>Weve got a teenager going to the White House. Oh, God.
Yeah, too bad those Constitution framers didn't put an age requirement on being president. [/sarc]
Bernadine Dohrn, Hugo Chavez, Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Fidel Castro, Mayor Daley, etc...
It's easy to answer. He has no idea what to do when things happen in the world, so he needs a permanent link to his advisers who will make the decision for him. Who are these advisers? Look at his cabinet picks, his campaign staff and see for yourself. He definitely knows who to call (can't vouch that he knows more than that, though.)
Does the Pope have a Blackberry?
Does Queen Elizabeth II?
Welcome to the Big Leagues, Excellency! They don't play with gadgets and toys in the Big Leagues.
That was especially true for President Bush. And the ones that really wanted to get him were on MSNBC and the Comedy Channel (remember Jon Stewarts "snipers wanted" crap)
Good grief the guy won't even turn over his birth certificate. Do we think he'd give up his private blackberry? Everything that applied to every president before doesn't apply to this buffoon.
The fault is in the buffoonery of the American people. Shakespeare said it this way, "The fault, Dear Brutus, lies in ourselves. We are underlings." The American people again cannot understand the simplest truths.
Under his policies, those struggles are going to get worse each day.
Scarlett is a filthy little girl
I love her
I have a couple of friends and clients that are hooked on these things ~ and when I say "hooked" I mean "addicted".
As a freelance graphic designer ~ and insomniac ~ I work some odd hours, and have wrapped up some projects at 2:30 or 3 in the AM only to send work off for approval, which I expect mid-morning.
Alas, I don't have time to shut down my computer before I get a respsonse from one of my clients. I'm like, "What gives? Do you sleep with that thing under your pillow?"
The response that I get ~ "YES. I do sleep with it under my pillow."
My co-workers would joke about killing Bush and it really got under my skin. My husband dared me to contact the Secret Service. If I joked about killing Obama, I'd be labeled a bigot and receive non-stop scorn.
He is afraid the lifeline to his Communist handlers will be cut...
...just barely. Very tall, 13-year-old male. *roll eyes*
Doesn't he want to talk with his wife? his children?
I wonder how much that blackberry is worth to him.
His CoLB is worth at least 800K+
He's turning out to be temper tantrum messiah
Barky, give up the presidency or the blackberry. Ya can't have both. Now, got to your room and GROW UP!
>>>"One of the things that I'm going to have to work through is how to break through the isolation, the bubble that exists around the president. And I'm in the process of negotiating with the Secret Service, with lawyers, with White House staff ... to figure out how can I get information from outside of the 10 or 12 people who surround my office in the White House? Because one of the worst things I think that can happen to a president is losing touch with the struggles that people are going through every day."
0bama won't be able to call up his handlers when he freaks out or gets confused. How will he ask Ayers, Farrakahn or Soros (Or Chaves, or whoever his secret friends are) what to do if he can't have untrackable calls?
What a lame excuse. The more he opens his mouth, the more he exposes himself as a coarse, stupid, lying thug.
Excellent post! Post of the day.
Interesting post.
Do you know which decades in the 20th century (before the 1970s) have failed a produce a President? (Birth Date)
His Blackberry among other notable functions listed here on this thread is also his high tech "crib sheet." At any given time George Soros can whisper (text) the right (sarcasm) thing to say or do.
Soros texts," Remember to say we have wide bi-partisan support here. We have Republican Economists supporting our plan to spend to a silly oblivion..blah blah blah..it will get our economy back on track...blah blah blah"
Polly want a cracker! Sickening.
The 30s and the 50s?
All the Pres-elect needs to lose his Blackberry forever is tyo have one of h9is "private"messages leak out to the press.Or even worse,a leftist blogger.
So his handlers can tell him what to say in public.
Well ... he should have known what he was getting into.
I would love to tell him to stop whining. Act like a professional. And most of all ... grow up.
Absolutely Correct!
sounds like he wants to call up the single mother of five who has to chooes between feeding her family or buying medicine for her dying father, or the unemployed auto worker who is struggling to keep his house.

SEC Probes Inland REIT
Investigation Casts Shadow Over Segment of Industry Not Publicly Traded
The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating an $11 billion real-estate company for potential violations of federal securities laws, casting a shadow over the business of real estate investment trusts that aren't traded on exchanges.
The SEC is looking at activity of Inland American Real Estate Trust to determine if the REIT committed violations related to management fees, the timing and amount of distributions paid to investors, and transactions with affiliates, according to a company filing with the SEC on Monday.
Thomas McGuinness, an Inland American executive, said the company has been "fully cooperating" with the SEC and that "Inland American does not believe it has done anything improper and it continues to execute its business plan and strategy."
With $11.2 billion in property, Inland American is the largest in an industry of about 90 nontraded REITs that has raised more than $73 billion, mostly from small investors.
The investigation comes at a time when other nontraded
REITs are drawing fresh scrutiny from regulators or reporting weaker valuations and dividend cuts. The SEC didn't respond to requests for comment.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which oversees the financial advisers that market these REITs, has proposed new guidelines on adviser disclosure of REITs. Last year, Finra also sued New York brokerage David Lerner Associates Inc., which sold a series of funds known as Apple REITs.
Finra said that Lerner targeted unsophisticated investors with products ill-suited for them. Lerner has described the Finra action, which is still pending, as "rife with falsehoods."
The SEC has previously said that it has been pressing some nontraded REITs to provide better disclosure on their share valuations. Unlike public stocks, whose values are set in the marketplace, valuations for nontraded REITs have varied. Some have relied on outside appraisers, others on their own management. Lately, some of the nontraded REITs have started to provide more up-to-date valuations, but this has occasionally resulted in sharp declines in share prices.
The SEC investigation seemed to catch some industry veterans off guard. "It was a little bit of a surprise to see this announcement because we had not seen something like this before," saId Kevin Gannon, a managing director at Robert A. Stanger & Co., a real-estate investment bank. He said he was withholding judgment at this point.
Inland American, which closed the fund in 2009, owns 964 properties, including retail, hotels, office, industrial and apartment buildings. The REIT's parent company, Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, is a 40-year-old real-estate company in Oak Brook, Ill., with $25 billion in assets. The parent was also the sponsor of a publicly traded REIT now known as Retail Properties of America, RPAI 0.00 % an owner of strip malls and shopping centers. Last month, the REIT sold shares publicly at a price that struck many as lower than expected. The shares valued last June at $6.95 were valued during the IPO at $3.20, before a reverse stock split.
Other nontraded REITs have disappointed investors by cutting or eliminating dividends. KBS Real Estate Investment Trust I informed shareholders in March that it was suspending the monthly payments of 5.25% and it marked its share price down 30% to $5.16.

Configuring event-triggered commands with Incron
While cron doggedly keeps to a fixed schedule, Incron monitors directories and runs commands when changes occur.
Cron is a constant companion for admins like myself. My crontab and I have both grown over the years – Crontab has gotten longer, and I've gotten wider. Maybe I'm sentimental, but I decided it was time to let my old friend venture out into unexplored territory with a little help from Incron. This cron extension uses an event triggered approach, rather than traditional time-based scheduling, monitoring directories, and running commands when specific changes occur.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Royal Saint-Honore Paris
We really liked it.
While the rooms were smallish, they were well furnished and very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is served in a pleasant, spacious room with good choice and spread. We found the location just great. We enjoyed our stay and will definately go back!
Great Location, Average amenities
My wife and I stayed at the Royal St-Honore for four nights in October 2004. The location is terrific, near Place Vendome, the Tuileries and Metro Line 1. However, the amenities are quite average, especially considering the premium paid for its location. We requested a quiet room well in advance, and even with fully sound-proofed windows and heavy drapes it was hard to ignore the carwash across rue St-Honore! I know there are similar options for better value. Not recommended.
Glad to check out of here.....
I stayed there recently for 4 nights. I got a special price off their website for 190 euros per night which included breakfast. The pros of this place are that it is very centrally located. The cons are: 1) the room decor is similar to that of a Best Western, 2) The concierge service is pitiful (as another reviewer wrote) - poor fellow hardly spoke English, 3) the hotel uses a "card" system which must be used to go not only in a room but also in the elevator - and often malfunctions. So you find yourself, in an enclosed elevator without being able to go anywhere., 4) their "internet" system is very expensive (5 euros for 15 minutes) and constantly crashes so that you cannot really get much done in your allotted time and have to keep buying more time.
I would not stay here again. For the same price, I know I could do better.
Our Paris Oasis
I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a good quality, well positioned place to stay in Paris. The Hotel is within easy walking distance to the Louvre, Jardin des Juileries, as well as the Opera area and some great shopping spots. You can also walk to the Champs Elysees, Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triomphe, probably about 10 minute walk or go the other direction to Notre Dame Cathedral. The rooms are very clean, roomy and the bathrooms are well appointed with luxurious bathrobes. The staff were very helpful and courteous. Breakfast each morning was served to us by the lovely Para, who made our stay memorable as well as enjoyable.
This was our first trip to Paris and we felt very lucky to have chosen such a great hotel.
We love PARIS and France.
Nice hotel, but concierge service is lacking
We stayed for 4 nights at the Hotel Royal Saint Honore. The location is excellent; we walked (with two young children) to most everything. The Louvre and Jardins des Tuileries were just two blocks away. We had a two bedroom suite with 2 bathrooms (250 euro per night, this is an excellent price and they were willing bargin the original offer down). The rooms were spacious, well laid out, marble bathrooms-- very nice.
My only gripe is about the concierge service; I found it to be completely useless. Not apathetic, but incorrect information.
So go and enjoy, just don't depend on the concierge for directions, recommendations or guidance of any sort.
Clean, Nice, and Great Location!
We stayed here for 5 days over Valentine's Day and were very pleased.
The location is great - within walking distance of many sights. And only a 2-minute walk to the Tuileries metro stop for farther sights.
The room was clean and nicely furnished. The marble bathroom was small, but very clean and modern. Our room was on the streetside, but still quiet (never heard street noise during the night). Staff was friendly and spoke English. The breakfast buffet was included with our rate and was very good. Included scrambled eggs, sausage or ham, croissants, fresh fruit, pastries, cereal, yogurt, and more. We would definitely stay here again.
You wanna stay HERE!
We were in Paris the first week in December and found this Hotel to be just wonderful! Our room was snug but classy, the bathroom was very accomodating, and the heating/air conditioning system was quiet. No traffic noise! Breakfast was typical and good. The staff was excellent.
But the location, ooo la la! We'd stay here again in a Michigan Minute!
Small, friendly, clean hotel
My two sisters and I stayed at the Royal St. Honore last September 2003. We stayed at their junior suite. Generally it was a pleasant stay at the hotel although we found the beds quite small. They had two single beds put together in the main room but each single bed was narrower than normal. We had two bath/showers in our room which was a big help. Room size a bit small for a junior suite. One lesson learned is not to rely on the internet photos which makes the hotel rooms look big and inviting. Overall, the hotel is in a good location, staff friendly, hotel was clean although nothing fancy. They have a unique security system not found in most hotels where you need your room key to operate the elevator which gives feeling of safety. Honestly, I think this hotel should have 3 stars rating instead of 4 stars considering the size of the hotel, size of the rooms.
Royal St. Honore clean and friendly
Just got back from a 5-day stay at the Royal St. Honore. The hotel is in a great location, on a reasonably quiet street, though there's construction going on locally. We got a junior suite for ourselves and our 2 teens. Our room was fine, with a small sitting area, but the beds are rock-hard and they put 2 twins together to theoretically make a larger bed, though the beds are made up separately. The second room of the suite is miniscule, barely enough room to walk around the foot of the sofa when its two twin mattresses are pulled out. There's Playstation available through the TV, but the games are in French. The staff is very helpful, everyone speaks excellent English. The hotel has an excellent air-conditioning system. There are a couple of shops and cafes within a 3 block area where you can buy breakfast if you don't get the buffet breakfast included in your hotel price. The closest Metro stop is Tuilleries, an easy 2-block walk.

On May 7, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) awarded PREMIER LASER
SYSTEMS (Nasdaq: PLSIA) clearance to market Premier's new Centauri Erbium
YAG laser, a tool which can be used in such hard tissue procedures for removing
tooth decay. Many reported that this opened the door on a "new era" in dentistry,
at least according to Premier, the dentists who performed the 1,400 procedures
in the clinical studies, an assortment of dental laser enthusiasts, and
investors, who sent the shares of Premier soaring from $6 3/4 before the
announcement to a high of $16 1/8 just a few trading sessions later.
The initial euphoria created by the FDA's decision has gradually been tempered
by more circumspection regarding how quickly dentists, a notoriously conservative
bunch, will adopt an expensive $39,000 technology approved for a limited
number of procedures. For example, the FDA did not clear the laser for use
on children, though the company, convinced the agency will eventually do
so, plans to sit down with the agency in 6 to 8 weeks to discuss the matter.
Also, the agency has not cleared the laser for use in replacing old fillings,
and the bulk of the 170 million restorative procedures performed each year
involve such replacements.
Moreover, because the laser would likely vaporize the mercury in old silver
amalgam fillings, it's likely the laser will be limited to working on the
newer composite fillings in any case. Others question whether the laser will
ever be useful in crown preparations, a significant part of many dental
practices. A tepid response from the American Dental Association (ADA), caught
off-guard by the FDA's decision; confusion about Premier's sales goals and
production capacity; and the threat of patent infringement suits from competitors
have also contributed to Premier's recent slide to $10 5/8, as the bulls
and the bears battle it out in the Fool folder and on Wall Street.
Getting a good handle on the YAG laser's prospects is difficult primarily
because neither the ADA nor the 120,000 dentists who generally rely on the
organization for information know any more about the laser than investors
do. The five dentists involved in the clinical trials are the only ones in
the country to have actually used it. And while their findings are expected
to be published soon in peer-reviewed journals, they aren't out yet. Dr.
James Pelagalli, the trials' chief investigator and the director of the Oral
Clinic in Cleveland, is expected to offer the first extended technical discussion
of the YAG laser in the June issue of Dentistry Today, accompanying
a cover news story on the FDA clearance.
So far, however, articles in the ADA News Daily have mainly presented
information offered in Premier's press releases along with a sampling of
the organization's initial questions. The questions addressed such issues
as the safety of hard tissue at the site where the laser heats up the tooth;
the possibility of teeth cracking due to shock waves; and the performance
of the laser compared to conventional high speed handpieces (since the trials
were not controlled, patient comfort could owe something to a placebo effect).
Dr. Kenneth Burrell, senior director of the ADA's council on scientific affairs,
said on Tuesday that the organization plans to issue a more complete statement
in the near future, but that so far, the organization has not received the
clinical and technical data it has requested.
As one dentist put it, Premier has done all its talking in the newspapers.
The dentists don't know one thing about the laser. Another said he
knew little about the product, but that one of his patients had strongly
recommended he buy one -- because the patient owned Premier stock. Indeed,
it was difficult to find dentists willing to comment for the record since
none have seen any of the clinical data. Dr. Steven Duke, a researcher in
the department of restorative dentistry at the University of Texas, San Antonio,
has worked with lasers in the past but admitted he wasn't very familiar with
the Premier laser. Still, he said he was skeptical of some of the claims
the company has made regarding the speed of market acceptance. The sales
predictions, he said, "sound like marketing hype" designed to encourage sales
by making dentists fearful they "may get left behind" if they don't purchase
the laser. Dr. Justin Jones, a dentist in private practice in Atlanta, is
equally skeptical, saying he thought, "A number of dentists will jump on
the bandwagon" and feature the laser in their advertising, but from what
he could tell, it's "A very expensive tool for very limited and questionable
benefits aside from publicity."
What's clear is that an initial report from Dow Jones News that formed
the basis for part of Randy Befumo's "Fool on the Hill"
column was erroneous.
On May 7, Dow Jones had reported that Premier CEO Dr. Colette Cozean was
projecting 77% market penetration by the second year. But Premier spokesperson
Owen Daley, said last Thursday that that figure was based on a survey done
by a dental products publication which found that 77% of dentists polled
said they would seriously consider buying the laser in its second year on
the market "if everything went well and the [dentists] who were using it
were already satisfied."
Daley reiterated what recent company press releases have said: that the company
initially expected to sell lasers to 1% to 2% of America's 120,000 dentists
during the first 12 to 18 months on the market, and 10,000 to 15,000 over
the first decade, figures he characterized as "terribly conservative." Still,
those projections seem to be rising, given the fact that the company's telephone
lines have been clogged with phone calls. On May 20, Cozean said, "It is
now apparent that the level of enthusiasm among dentists and patients may
be much higher than that. As of last week, we had logged more than 1,200
expressions of interest." About 10% of callers have ordered a YAG laser,
while 20% have signed up for training courses, and 50% have requested additional
At the same time, however, Cozean's other comments raised questions about
the company's ability to ramp up production to meet even the demand initially
projected. "At this point," she said, "we believe we can manufacture up to
400 systems or so before the end of our fiscal year on March 31, 1998; we
are examining ways in which to increase that build schedule to accommodate
demand." Daley said the company considers September the beginning of its
true selling season, so the capacity to ship 400 systems pertains to a September
to March time frame, which would give the company until the end of FY99 to
meet its initial 18-month sales projections. Daley insisted, however, that
"they can ramp up to meet the 1,200 or whatever [number of systems] if it's
in the next 12 months."
As one of the five clinicians who participated in the studies, Dr. Richard
T. Hansen of the UCLA dental school in Los Angeles is enthusiastic about
Premier's laser. He said the FDA clearance is the beginning of a
revolution in dentistry. While the laser may not fit into the practices of
some dentists who do mainly crowns, bridges, or root canals, "it's definitely
going to be something worthwhile" for dentists who do a fair number of fillings.
"And as the development of this technology evolves, we're going to be able
to use it in more and more applications. We are going to be able to use it
for most areas of the mouth at some point in the future." He said the FDA
clearance gives the company incentive to enhance the product, and that Premier
has already developed new handpieces and tips that can reach areas of the
mouth that were inaccessible just a month ago. Plus, having used the laser
on a large number of the 80 children who participated in the studies, he's
convinced that children represent "the absolute best use for the machine"
because it is effective, safe, and most importantly, almost painless. Dentists
will eventually accept the laser, he said, though he conceded "it will be
slow." He said he expects a lot of dentists to take a "wait-and-see attitude"
while the initial purchasers use the product and report their findings. "Then
you'll see another surge of people buying them."
Dr. Eugene Seidner, president of the Academy of Laser Dentistry, is also
enthusiastic. "It was a huge breakthrough for the FDA to allow this to happen,"
he said. Though no one has a list of all the dentists in the U.S. who currently
use some type of laser in their practice, Seidner put the number at 3,000
and said they represent a group likely to show initial interest in the Premier
laser. Still, he said the dentists he's spoken with are "more excited about
the FDA finally allowing hard tissue applications for a laser than [they
are about] this particular laser because nobody knows about this laser; only
five people have used it." With the door now opened by the FDA, however,
"there are going to be a lot of other manufacturers coming out with models
of this particular laser, and I'm sure there will be other lasers available
that will do things even more efficiently than this one."
Dr. Robert Pick, an assistant professor of periodontics at Northwestern
University and the ADA'S expert on the use of lasers on soft tissue like
gums, has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Premier laser, telling the
Chicago Tribune that he believes it will be "very commonplace" in
two to four years. Others at the ADA, however, were completely surprised
by the FDA approval and remain cautious about Premier's laser. Fred Eichmiller,
director of the ADA Health Foundation's Paffenbarger Research Center in
Washington, D.C. recently told Wired magazine he thought it unlikely that
a laser would ever be developed to drill cavities. Last week, he explained
his skepticism grew out of practical considerations: could you make an instrument
that would be cost-effective given that the drilling itself is slower than
using a conventional drill and that it might be useful on only a limited
number of cavity types? He said he would like to see "at least a few studies
showing how it's been used" to see "what the system is capable of."
The ADA's Burrell also told Wired that he didn't expect such a laser
to be available until 2010. "Wow, was I off," he said, laughing. Still, Burrell
said, "it's hard to determine how quickly this is going to take off. I think
there are some questions that dentists would like to know before they consider
buying something like this." He pointed to certain safety issues, like how
the nerve tissue and the pulp in the tooth react to the laser and whether
there's a risk of teeth cracking due to the rapid temperature increase. He
also noted that "there aren't as many fillings being done today, so the use
of the high-speed handpiece that the laser's supposed to replace have gone
down the last few years." Still, he said the ADA has received a "tremendous
number of inquiries both from the public and the profession" since the FDA
cleared the laser for marketing.
UCLA's Dr. Hansen, at least, believes that "the media and the patient demand
will actually drive the change quicker than the dentists would themselves."
But he sees no problem with this given his feeling that the clinical studies
have already addressed some of the safety and utility issues and that more
complete data will only breed further confidence in the laser.
For now, though, dentists who might be put off by the hefty price tag may
find that lingering questions about safety and utility provide good reasons
to hold off on a purchase. And some dentists have expressed doubts about
the cost. Dr. Jones in Atlanta said that once fees for several days of training
seminars, related travel expenses, and other charges were figured in, the
Premier laser could end up costing $65,000 or more. But Daley, Premier's
spokesperson, said that figure was unreasonably high, even if one included
about $800 a month for fiber tips and service on the laser. And Premier has
insisted that the doctor training, which begins in June and will be conducted
by the five clinicians involved in the trials, will only require one day.
"If the dentist is already competent in the procedure," Daley said, "using
the laser does not require rocket science." Yet Hansen, who will be conducting
training sessions, said the five clinicians expect dentists will need three
to four days of training. "One day to me is just bare minimum," he said.
He anticipates dentists coming for one day of basic laser physics combined
with a second day on technique. They can then go back to the practice and
try the laser "on very simple procedures." Then they will come back "and
take another training module to get a little more advanced."
Dr. Stephen J. Markus, a dentist in Haddon Heights, Pennsylvania, expressed
his own doubts about the economics of the laser in a letter last week to
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Based on his assumptions that the laser
available today will be out-of-date in four years and that the average solo
dentist would require two lasers since most work out of two treatment rooms,
Markus determined that "all we've got to do, to break even in a solo practice,
is treat 4,000 fillings a year," or about 16 fillings per day. "I don't know
about your area of the country," he wrote, "but prevention and fluoride are
working here." He said some days he performs no more than four fillings,
"...and I have a busy office."
The allure of near-painless dentistry is certainly powerful enough that dentists
are likely to take a good long look at any product that could potentially
usher in such a new era. Yet aside from a minority of dentists who are likely
to buy the laser for marketing purposes as much as for its benefits to patients,
most dentists seem likely to wait for data from the clinical trials and from
other independent researchers before deciding whether the YAG laser lives
up to its publicity. Whether Premier's sales projections properly account
for such caution remains to be seen.

Betty Lou Nedell Lydon (m. 1952)
James J. "Jimmy" Lydon (born May 30, 1923) is an American actor and television producer whose career in the entertainment industry began as a teenager during the 1930s.[2]
Early life[edit]
Lydon was born in Harrington Park in northeastern New Jersey, the fifth of nine children. His family was of Irish heritage. He was raised in Bergenfield.[3]
In 1932, Lydon's father, who was an alcoholic, decided to retire from working. This decision forced all of the other family members to seek employment in the depths of the Great Depression.[4] In 1937, Jimmy Lydon, not knowing what he wanted to do, tried his hand at acting. His first role was Danny in the Broadway play Western Waters. He had been allowed to audition for the part after fabricating a list of roles he had previously portrayed. In the next couple of years, he learned the acting craft while performing in plays such as Sunup to Sundown, Prologue to Glory, Sing Out the News, and The Happiest Days. In 1939, he moved with his family to Hollywood to seek film roles.
One of his first starring roles was the title character in the 1940 movie Tom Brown's School Days, also starring Cedric Hardwicke and Freddie Bartholomew. The film was well received by critics, with Variety praising it in a January 1940 review as "sympathetically and skillfully made, with many touching moments and an excellent cast". Lydon was called "believable and moving in the early portions, but too young for the final moments".[5]
Between 1941–1944, under contract to Paramount Pictures, Lydon starred as the screechy-voiced, adolescent Henry Aldrich in the movie series of that title.[4]After completing the Aldrich series, the 21-year-old Lydon signed a contract in 1944 with Republic Pictures.[6]
He appeared with William Powell, Irene Dunne, and Elizabeth Taylor in the acclaimed 1947 film Life with Father, in the role of college-bound Clarence. Variety called Jimmy Lydon's portrayal "effective as the potential Yale man".[7]
He then appeared opposite James Cagney in the 1948 movie The Time of Your Life. From 1949-1950, he and Janet Waldo voiced the leading characters in the radio adaptation of the comic strip Young Love. Lydon easily gained roles in the new medium of television. He portrayed Chris Thayer on The First Hundred Years. The show was CBS' first daytime soap opera. It was performed live for three seasons of three hundred episodes.
In 1953, he was cast as Murray in the aviation adventure film Island in the Sky, starring John Wayne. He also played Biffen Cardoza on the last six episodes of Rocky Jones, Space Ranger in 1954 and made appearances in Lux Video Theatre and The Christophers.
In 1958, Lydon played the role of Richard in Anne Jeffreys and Robert Sterling's short-lived sitcom, Love That Jill. Lydon appeared in guest roles on Crossroads, Casey Jones, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, Wagon Train, Hennesey, The Twilight Zone, and Tales of the Texas Rangers, as Lt. Jared Evans in the 1958 episode "Warpath". A year later, he guest starred on the ABC/Warner Brothers western television series Colt .45, starring Wayde Preston. Lydon played the role of Willy in the episode "Return to El Paso", with Paul Picerni cast as Jose.[8]
After working increasingly in television in the 1950s, he turned to production and helped to create the detective series 77 Sunset Strip and the CBS sitcom M*A*S*H. He also produced the television adaptation of the film Mister Roberts in 1966 and Roll Out in 1973-1974. Lydon played Captain Henry Aldrich (a reference to his Aldrich movie series) on the latter show.
In 1963, Lydon was working for Warner Brothers to place on the NBC fall schedule a new western series, Temple Houston, starring Jeffrey Hunter as Temple Lea Houston, an historical figure, a clever lawyer, and the youngest son of Sam Houston. On orders from studio boss Jack Webb, episodes were put together in two or three days each, something previously thought impossible in television production. Work began on August 7, 1963, with the initial airing set for September 19. Lydon recalls that Webb told the staff: "Fellas, I just sold Temple Houston. We gotta be on the air in four weeks, we can't use the pilot, we have no scripts, no nothing - do it!"[9] Lydon recalls the team having worked around the clock to get Temple Houston on the air. Co-producer William Conrad directed six episodes, two scripts simultaneously on two different soundstages at Warner Brothers: "We bicycled Jeff (Jeffrey Hunter) and (secondary character Jack Elam) Elam between the two companies, and Bill shot 'em both in four-and-a-half days. Two complete one-hour shows!".[9]Though the production challenge was met with much difficulty, Temple Houston never gained popularity in the ratings and ended after twenty-six weeks.[9]At the same time script and cast changes that Webb had imposed on 77 Sunset Strip, with Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., left as the sole character, caused the cancellation of that series before it could finish its sixth season.
During the 1980s, Jimmy continued to act in television, with roles on episodes of Lou Grant, Simon & Simon, and St. Elsewhere.
Jimmy Lydon resides in Bonita in San Diego County, California, with his wife, the former Betty Lou Nedell, whom he married in 1952. They have two daughters and two granddaughters.

Yesterday the Eastsider reported an interesting development in City Council news – there's a chance the City of Los Angeles might put some money aside to purchase the Corralitas Rail Path from its current owner to turn it into a bonafide city park.
The 10-acre strip of land just north of Silver Lake was formerly home to a Pacific Electric Red Car line that ran into Glendale from 1896 to 1955. The cars haven't run for a long time, but there are still a few remnants of the old stations, some cement stairways, and pieces of a 100-foot trestle bridge that crossed what is now Fletcher Drive.
Various developers have tried to turn the property into housing units over the years, but have been met with stiff resistance from local groups. It's currently used as an unofficial green space and short hike.
While neighborhood activists are quick to point out this plan is in the very early stages of development, but a motion was introduced to have the city investigate the cost of partnering with the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Trust for Public Land to purchase the land for use as a park. Similar proposals were turned down by the landowner in 1997, 2001, and 2003.
Here's hoping the fourth time's the charm!

'Mrs. Lincoln's Rival' looks at a woman who tackled a unique role
No contemporary figure quite compares to Kate Chase Sprague, the protagonist of Jennifer Chiaverini's historical novel "Mrs. Lincoln's Rival." Social mores and the opportunities available to women have changed too much over the past century and a half. But imagine for a moment a widowed Bill Clinton campaigning for president, with his teenage daughter Chelsea as his secret consigliere, and you'll begin to grasp something of Chase Sprague's unusual role in American history.
Previously best known for her Elm Creek Quilts series, Madison novelist Chiaverini began a sequence of popular historical novels set during the Civil War last year with "Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker," based on Elizabeth Keckley, a free black businesswoman who became a confidante to Mary Todd Lincoln, and continued with "The Spymistress," inspired by Elizabeth Van Lew, who spied for the Union behind Confederate lines in Richmond, Va. In addition to simply being fascinating stories, these novels go a long way in capturing the texture of life for women, rich and poor, black and white, in those perilous years. »Read Full Article(1)
Brewers: Don't expect Hank the dog bobblehead anytime soon
The Hank the Brewers dog bobblehead rumor is a little premature, said Tyler Barnes, Milwaukee Brewers vice president for communications.
"Yes, we have been flooded with requests for a Hank Bobblehead, along with requests to have Hank go to everyone's school, make Hank rally towels, travel for national media appearances, a publisher has pitched a series of children's books about his life, and on and on and on," Barnes said.

Local rock band Animals in Human Attire handles change well
Local rock band Animals in Human Attire never specified exactly what animals the band's name refers to — but if we had to choose, we'd definitely say squirrels.
The band has a tendency to swiftly zig and zag, seemingly on impulse, through a series of tempo changes and musical curveballs on its forthcoming album "Ourmegadawn" (available beginning April 11 at shows, mamrecords.com and aiha.bandcamp.com). »Read Full Article
Ceramics artists turn Milwaukee galleries into their 'Material World'

I have three passions in my lfe. First and foremost, I have a love for Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior and my purpose for living. I am thankful that He has afforded me the privilege of serving Him for 19 years now in Christian schools as a teacher and coach, as a Youth Pastor at three different churches, and serving for nine years as Pastor of the greatest group of people in America, the congregation at Promised Land Baptist Church in Gastonia, NC.
I also am passionate about my family. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, Joanna, and two great daughters, Rebecca and Bethany. My family provides both inspiration and illustrations for much of my preaching and writing.
A third passion that I have is a love for sports. I played football, basketball, and baseball all the way from youth leagues through high school. I have also been privileged to coach football, basketball, and baseball for a number of years as well. I helped pay my way through Bible College by working at a sports card shop and, at one time, had quite a collection of sports memorabilia.
Since getting too old to play sports on a highly competitive level, I satisfy my craving for competition now in a less physically demanding way. I am now an avid Fantasy Sports fanatic.
Recently I have become a free lance sports writer, with my work currently being featured in The Gaston Gazette and the Statesville Record & Landmark.

Hi Tony, I am not certain on what the selection process is for the team beat writers from CBS. This news came as a surprise to me, and I have tried checking out the CBS Sports website to see if there's any links on there or further information, but so far I've come up empty handed.
I would be very surprised if this is a ploy to get more writers and fresh ideas on B/R, although it is nice to see new membership and new topics to read about. I was getting tired of seeing all my scenarios on Peppers and Delhomme, as I'm sure everyone reading them were good on that as well.
I know nothing more than what you or anyone else knows. I just know that all article assignments must be completed by May 29, at which point they will go under review I suppose. I've never been nor felt mislead by the powers that be on Bleacher Report, so I feel very comfortable saying this is legit.
I appreciate your vote of confidence in me! I'm sure there's nothing to be skeptical about, here.
I would like to welcome you to Bleacher Report, Tony. I read your article for the first time, and found it very descriptive with realistic ideals in it. Great work! If you need any help or have any questions, please feel free to ask me, or either of the Panthers' community leaders here.

Wendy Davis and the hard road to the Texas Capitol
Political narratives are necessarily reductive, invariably gauzy and thus often misleading. They tell two conflicting tales at the same time: I'm absolutely amazing and unique, and I'm just like you. But it seemed undeniable that female politicians were far more constrained than men in how they recounted their stories.... Bill Clinton could be seething with lifelong ambition; George W. Bush could be a beneficiary of immense privilege; Barack Obama could be a self-described outsider, marijuana smoker, community rabble-rouser. Any of these qualities might, if so espoused, disqualify a woman from high office. Meanwhile, no one ever stopped Clinton, Bush or Obama in his biographical tracks to say: "Wait. If you were out there, conquering the world, then you could not have been here, with your family." Wendy Davis and the challenges of running for governor, as a woman and a Democrat, in Texas.

"Women were dying at the hands of butchers and incompetent quacks."
Dr. Henry Morgentaler, who opened the first abortion clinic in Canada and broke the law in doing so - which resulted in the Supreme Court of Canada ruling that criminal laws against abortion were unconstitutional - and who was subsequently made a member of the Order of Canada, has passed away at the age of 90.
A Coordinated Assault on Women?
In the wake of so many recent controversies over women and their right to safe, affordable health care and the supposed desire of working women to be "put in their place" by aggressive men in the bedroom, Penny Red suggests that "Right now, we are in the middle of a sexual counter-revolution."

Neener Neener Neener!
Remember HB 1215, the bill banning almost all abortion in South Dakota? Cecilia Fire Thunder, President of the Oglala Sioux tribe in South Dakota, has a solution: "I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction." An impassioned blogger has spoken to President Fire Thunder and is trying to drum up support for the proposed clinic.

"Choose Life" license tag gets tentative nod from Kansas House. You pay an extra $25 for the tag when you register (hopefully it's optional), and the money goes to "crisis preganancy centers." Isn't this a bizarre, and rather vague, way to advance the cause?

Did you just get an electric bill that doubled or tripled?
You're in good company. Pennsylvania's attorney general is investigating why so many thousands of us have seen our energy bills skyrocket.
Yes, there was a polar vortex. But some also suspect price-gouging on the part of suppliers. Without warning, many a customer discovered his or her account had been switched to a variable rate from a cheaper fixed rate - in the middle of a winter so cold Gov. Corbett declared a state of emergency Feb. 5.

AEP (NYSE: AEP ) announced today that Texas regulators have unanimously approved the application of Electric Transmission Texas, an AEP joint venture with MidAmerican Energy, to build a $318 million, 156-mile long 345-kB transmission line.
In a regulatory approval sweep, the Public Utility Commission of Texas' stamp of approval also included settlements with almost 100 landowners, as well as the Texas Parks and Wildlife department. The line will run between Laredo and Edinburg, and will include two new substations.
"Approval of the CCN is a significant step to ensuring continued transmission reliability in the Rio Grande Valley and Laredo areas," said Electric Transmission Texas President Calvin Crowder in a statement today.
AEP's transmission network currently includes 40,000 miles of lines, including 2,100 miles of higher-voltage 765-kV lines, "more than all other U.S. transmission systems combined."
According to the release, construction should begin in 2014, and is expected to be completed by 2016.

Welcome to 11:11 Jewelry, a full line of unique and one-of-a-kind women's jewelry. Eleven Eleven focuses on lamp working- beads and sculptural work, metalsmithing, and lapidary work.

Dobrila's passion for glass beads grew and she was asked by her peers to become an instructor to educate others. Since 2010, Dobrila has been teaching a variety of glass bead classes at Lillstreet.
A European native, Dobrila was honored by being asked to exhibit her collection at the Slovenian Embassy infront of international diplomats at the 2012 European Union Anniversary Convention. Also, she has been accepted to and displayed at the One of A Kind show in Chicago, IL for the past 4 years.

If you had your mirena removed, did you lose weight afterwards??? (Also, did you go on the pill afte
Yes, mirena contributed to my fat-ass-ness. Once removed the weight started coming off and now I am a size 3-5 again.
I don't use any other forms of BC right now. I just can't handle hormones.
Just doing my best. What more is there?
I did not lose weight, and I did go on the pill (Yaz). I only had the Mirena in for about 2 months though...and never stopped bleeding, so I had it removed.

Making love is for losers, just 'if you seek amy'!
Does Mirena make you gain weight? I am debating getting it and I don't want to if it makes me gain weight! I am trying to get rid of baby weight and don't want something that will defeat me.
I can't lose anymore weight either! I workout, eat well, and GAIN weight. Now I'm thinking about having it removed. Ugh. I really like it other than that.
Maddie, mama to Jackson (7-9-08)
I was fine on Mirena for about 2 months, except for the fact it was making my hair fall out in chunks in the shower. then I put on 8 lbs in litterally a week. I'm a fitness freak and practially live at the gym so any kind of body change, I am aware of and on top of it. it was all in my lower abdomen area. ALL water weight. Within two days of having it removed, my stomach was flat again and I was 8 lbs lighter.
when I went in to get it removed, the nurse said that probably 9 out of 10 patients they see get the Mirena removed within the first 2 or 3 months because of the horrible weight gain. Wish ya would have told me BEDORE i got the stupid thing put in. ugh!
Yeah, the OB's office really really worked very very hard to sell me on the stupid thing. Oh, it's sooooo great and all the women in the office have one and blah blah blah it's huge in europe blah blah blah, you won't know you have it in, blah blah blah. All bullshit. I don't know why they push it so hard when the fucking thing is like some sort of medieval torture device, IMO. It is the fucking devil. It poked me in my cervix (quite painfully) if I sat down to quickly or if I did certain yoga poses. I hated that thing. I had NO sex life while I had it in because sex was uncomfortable so I guess it does truly work as a contraceptive. LOL
It did keep the fat on me. I was also on a med that causes weight gain so I was 50 lbs overweight but it really did start coming off when I got that horrible thing removed. Oh, and all she did was yank it out like a tampon. I could have done it myself. Seriously.
Just doing my best. What more is there?
I've had mine for 2.5 years and I asked my NP last March at my yearly if it was contributing to my lack of weight loss and she assured me that it wasn't. Now I want it out since I am serious about losing the weight
Mommy to M 7/27/06
My doctor swore up and down it doesn't cause weight gain but I was steadily losing weight after having my baby last year and the minute I had it inserted, I stopped losing weight altogether. Coincidence? Maybe. But I know I've seen others on here talk about this. That's why I put this poll on here to ask around some more.
Well crap. I actually have a Dr.'s appt tomorrow morning because I can't figure out why I can't get rid of this weight. My ydd turned 1 this week and I have been at a stalemate with my weight since last summer when I had the Mirena put in. I eat healthier than anyone I know. And I can work out everyday and not see one pound lost on the scale. :(
But I LOOOOOOVE the Mirena. I am one of the lucky ones where I don't even know it's in. No cramping, no painful sex, no period, etc.

Introducing greener cars on our roads
Green alternatives to conventional cars are needed fast – for the sake of the environment, and the health of the European economy. But a lot more innovation is needed to make greener cars ready for mass production. To speed things up and encourage cost-sharing, the European Commission is promoting cooperation at every stage – often between commercial rivals.
A small range, high cost and a lack of flexibility still stand in the way of mass acceptance of a new generation of greener cars, as is illustrated by this clip shot at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt by German television channel ARD.
The European Green Cars Initiative is a public private partnership, through which the Commission is spurring the development of green cars, not just in Germany but in all European countries, by:
- encouraging cooperation and exchange of information between car-manufacturers, ITC developers, researchers, energy companies (who will supply the infrastructure for electric cars) and government (which supplies funding and coordinates standards)
- getting everyone to agree on a common agenda – the multi-annual roadmap
Projects for progress
Around 50 projects are already underway – to advance the technologies needed to make electric vehicles widely available on the market. Since its launch in 2008, the initiative has already contributed to progress towards a new generation of vehicles and faster-charging batteries with a longer driving range.
Electric vehicles are widely seen as the most serious alternative to fossil-fuel based road transport. All major car manufacturers are developing electric car prototypes. Countries like France, Germany, China and the USA have defined ambitious targets for the introduction of electric cars. In China, for example, 50% of new cars should be electric by 2020.
Moving on from fossil fuels
The drive to develop commercially viable electric cars is motivated by Europe's ambitions to:
- reduce Europe's ongoing dependence on fossil fuels for passenger and freight transport – at a time when oil is becoming scarcer
- cut greenhouse-gas emissions – fossil-fuel powered transport accounts for a quarter of the total
- help the European automotive industry to maintain its technology edge.
