Moscow team defends KHL title against Traktor Chelyabinsk
MOSCOW Alexei Tsvetkov fired Dynamo Moscow to Gagarin Cup victory over Traktor Chelyabinsk on Wednesday, completing the final step on a road to glory which began back in 2008.That was the season he first teamed up with head coach Olegs Znaroks at MVD Balashikha. The following season he was part of the Balashikha boys who took mighty Ak Bars Kazan all the way before succumbing in a seven-game final series. Then after two seasons at Severstal Cherepovets he rejoined Znaroks at the start of this season to be part of Dynamos defence of the Gagarin Cup.And what a part! In the sixth minute of overtime, seconds after Traktors Yevgeni Kuznetsov had gone close to winning the game and tying the series, Denis Kokarev fired in a shot from the right-hand circle. Goalie Michael Garnett blocked it just but as he lay sprawled across the crease the puck dropped for Tsvetkov to fire his fifth post-season goal. That made it 3-2, and the cup was Dynamos once more.As a veteran of the Znaroks team ethos, Tsvetkov revealed that there was no tactical masterclass during that third interval at Arena Traktor. He simply told us to play the game properly. I think these guys are imbued with so much team spirit that we knew victory would come. We just know how to play in a final, and how to win it. In sport, the strongest take away the prizes.However, in the delirious aftermath of his winner, Tsvetkov admitted that the occasion hadnt really sunk in. I havent quite realized that we are champions. I dont quite understand how Im feeling!He wasnt the only player to emerge from Balashikha and find himself turning into a play-off star. Following the merger between Dynamo and MVD, the Moscow Region town is now home to Dynamos VHL farm team, and until the middle of February thats where Alexei Sopin was playing his hockey firmly in the middle of Russias second tier. Now hes a Gagarin Cup winner, with some memorable and important goals against Slovan Bratislava and CSKA Moscow on his CV.Its like a dream I could never have imagined winning the Gagarin Cup, Sopin told R-Sport. In February I was still playing in Balashikha, and now Im part of the best team in the country and Ive won a champions medal.For the second season running, goalie Alexander Yeryomenko was named MVP for the KHL play-offs. He posted the best goal average 1.74 and had a 93.8% save percentage and three shutouts in Dynamos 21 games. His importance was clear once again in Chelyabinsk in game six, where just seconds before Tsvetkovs winner he stood tall in the crease to face down a solo breakaway from Yevgeni Kuznetsov, winning his second duel with the youngster in that game and denying Traktor the chance to tie the series. But, modestly, the goalie shrugged off the recognition after the game.We played at the limit, both physically and psychologically. This is a shared victory for everyone at the club, he insisted. As for most valuable, its better to praise the whole club, everyone who helped and supported us.Znaroks himself, exhausted by the emotions of a second successive triumph and this one in his home town, against the club where he played at the start of his career barely managed a sip of the celebratory champagne back in the locker room.This year it was much harder to win the cup, he commented after matching Zinetula Bilyaletdinovs achievement of 2009-2010.And perhaps he was right. Unlike last season, where Dynamo went into its early play-off games as clear favourites to overpower the likes of Dinamo Minsk and Torpedo Nizhni Novgorod, this seasons schedule threw up an awkward clash with league newcomer Slovan Bratislava and a Moscow derby against CSKA before renewing hostilities with a SKA St. Petersburg side which seemed to be in supreme form under the guidance of Jukka Jalonen.Moreover, as assistant coach Harijs Vitolins admitted after the final, several Dynamo players were carrying injuries during the play-off campaign. Sergei Konkov, Alexei Sopin, Ilya Gorokhov and Sergei Soin all went onto the ice with minor fractures, he said, while most of their team-mates suffered heavy bruising from a grueling campaign.The guys gave everything. There is nobody who finished the season without getting hurt, Vitolins told R-Sport.However, Traktor faced troubles of its own on its way to the final. To start with, preparations were disrupted by the meteorite which landed near the Southern Ural city in late February casting a doubt over whether its opening play-off games with Barys Astana could go ahead as planned on home ice.The arenas safety was confirmed, only for the Kazakhs to send another bolt from the blue by winning the first two games. Traktor recovered to take the series in seven, and repeated the trick in the Eastern Conference final against Ak Bars Kazakn after trailing 2-0 and 3-1. In between goalie Garnett produced a heroic display to record four shut-outs in five games as last seasons runner-up Avangard was dispatched in round two.Those meetings with Avangard also saw 18-year-old Valeri Nichushkin make a name for himself with some audacious puck-handling and great individual goals.But come the final series, the almost traditional two-game deficit was too much to claw back. A thrilling 4-3 win in Moscow on Monday denied Dynamo victory in five games, and a third-period equalizer from Petri Kontiola in game six took the Moscow men to overtime before they clinched a 4-2 series win.Defeat was tempered with pride at the way Valeri Belousov transformed a struggling team into a serious contender for top honours. Kontiola himself noted that the club had enjoyed two successful seasons in a row, reaching its first play-off in the KHL era after winning the regular championship last year, then following up with a run to the final this time around. And the future is set to reaffirm Chelyabinsks reputation as Russias leading hockey production line, according to club president Mikhail Yurevich.I can already say for certain that the emphasis will once again be on the graduates of Chelyabinsks hockey academies, he said. This season weve seen the likes of Nichushkin, [Maxim] Karpov, [Nikita] Nesterov and a few others begin their careers with Traktor. We have more talented youngsters and next season Traktor will introduce you to a number of new young players.Meanwhile, Nichushkin himself has little time to reflect on his first season in the adult game. As a key member of Russias U18 World Championship squad, he was given special dispensation to stay with Traktor after the April 11 call-up date for the tournament just starting in Sochi. But now he heads directly to the Black Sea with the task of delivering gold for his country after settling for silver with his club. Following Wednesdays game he asked journalists not to interview him, saying that he needed to go home and sleep before preparing for international duty.ANDY POTTS

Buying Guide
Wrap eternity around your finger with a dazzling eternity ring. Because this classic ring style has gems that endlessly loop around the finger, it has long symbolized never-ending love. That makes eternity bands a popular choice for wedding rings and anniversary rings. Because the gems are set all the way around, eternity rings have to be made to fit you perfectly and they can't be sized more than a quarter-size. Because all Gemvara fire opal eternity rings are made to order just for you, we'll make your eternity ring to fit your finger perfectly. Request a free ring sizing kit if you're not sure of your size. Gemvara's unrivalled selection of fire opal eternity rings means you can find a style that's perfect for you. Our eternity rings are crafted in the finest materials. Fire opal symbolizes the union of opposites: fire and water. Fire opal forms when water seeps into silica-rich red-hot lava, filling seams and hollows. Gemvara's fire opal is faceted for extra brilliance. Opal is an October birthstone and the 14th anniversary gem. With a little care, eternity rings will wear beautifully for, well, almost eternity. Clean fire opal eternity rings in a bowl of water with a little mild dish soap. You can use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality fire opal eternity rings are designed to be passed down for generations, hand-made by skilled craftspeople in the United States.
Fire Opal Quality
The fire opal is all about unity; in fact it symbolizes the unity of two polar opposites: fire and water. Fire opal forms when water seeps into silica-rich red, hot lava, filling all its crevices. Then the silica forms a solid gel, trapping the remaining water within its structure. This vivid gem's beauty also will remind you of flames. Color is the most important factor to consider in picking the perfect fire opal and a vivid orange hue means it is of fine quality. Unlike most opal, fire opal is faceted and has brilliance, as well as a bright, day-glow, orange color. Born in the fire of Mexico's volcanoes, fire opal's natural, bright orange color is unmatched in the gem kingdom. Cut is more important than clarity when choosing your fire opal because fire opal often has a welcome haziness that actually increases the vibrancy of its color. Opal is the October birthstone and the 14th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality fire opal will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine fire opal jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.

About the Model LR180S37
Vincent Bach combined his unique talents as both an accomplished musician and a talented engineer to create brass instruments of unequalled tonal quality. Often copied but never duplicated, Bach Stradivarius instruments today remain the sound choice of artists worldwide. The Bach 180 series Bb trumpets are the most versatile available offering more options that meet the demanding needs of today's most discriminating players.The Bach 180 series trumpets are the number one selling professional trumpets in the world. The LR180 series feature lightweight bodies with standard weight one-piece hand-hammered professional bells and reversed #25LR leadpipes. This unique construction offers the quick response of a lightweight model with less resistance from the reverse leadpipe and the projection of a standard weight #37 bell. The silver-plate finish provides a controlled brilliance to the overall sound. The LR180S37 with a .459" medium-large bore gives a player a more open feel and response resulting in an instrument that is well suited for all types of music.
Bach "Stradivarius" - .459" Medium-large bore, lightweight body, standard weight yellow brass one-piece hand-hammered #37 bell, reverse construction #25LR mouthpipe, monel pistons, s1st slide thumb saddle, adjustable 3rd slide rod stop, silver-plate finish, Bach 7C mouthpiece, C180 woodshell case.
Born Vincent Shrotenbach in Vienna in 1890, he initially received training on violin, then switched when he heard its majestic sound. Although Vincent also displayed a strong aptitude for science and graduated with an engineering degree, he gave up a promising career to pursue his first love and an uncertain future as a musician. Performing under the stage name, Vincent Bach, he established a musical success as he toured throughout Europe.
World War 1 forced Vincent's move to New York City where he arrived with only $5.00 in his pocket. A letter to the famous conductor Karl Muck got Vincent an audition and a resulting position with the Boston Symphony. By the following season, he was first trumpet in the Metropolitan Opera House. While on tour in Pittsburgh, Vincent's mouthpiece was ruined by a repairman. Vincent had great difficulty in finding a suitable replacement. While on furloughs he spent time in the basement of the Selmer Music store remodeling old mouthpieces.
In 1918, with the investment of $300 for a foot-operated lathe, Vincent went into the business of making mouthpieces. The business grew rapidly and in 1924, the first Bach trumpets were produced. Musicians frequently referred to a Bach trumpet as a real 'Stradivarius', thus inspiring the name Bach Stradivarius. Bach trombones followed in 1928.
At the age of 71, Vincent sold his company. Although he received twelve other offers, including some that were higher, Vincent chose to sell to the Selmer Company. In 1964, the tooling and machinery for Bach instruments were moved from Mount Vernon to their current home in Elkhart, Indiana. Today, these instruments continue to embody the highest standards of craftsmanship and are held to Vincent's original designs and blueprints.

"Depending on the picture you choose, you might have to try different text colors to make sure they show up. Also the space to write your address and party info is kind of limited. Other than that, this card is beautiful, just as advertised. It's girly but not overtly so. The quality is fantastic, nice thick cardstock, great resolution. Everyone loved it!"
"Everybody just loved this invite postcard! I had put in a professional photo of my little guy. You're able to personalize it with their name and party info. I received it in glossy print which is perfect. I really liked the touch of having an RSVP website included, so far it's working out nice. It's kind of fun. One thing though, I would have liked to write some additional info on the back of the card. I had jotted the info down with a black sharpie which worked alright. But I wish I was able to add one of those lines and put in the additional info."
"Excellent print quality on quality paper. I am thrilled. I was looking for a 1st birthday invite that was not too babyish, was not in pastel colors, and printed on both sides. The colors are vibrant, the style lends itself to any theme, and the double sided print allowed me to share more pictures. The order was process and shipped quickly and arrived earlier than promised. I will be ordering from Tiny Prints again."
"I just love this design! It was perfect for my daughter's 1st birthday invitation! Fast delivery to Australia and great quality! Would definitely recommend. Now I just have to think of another event to hold so I can get some more beautiful invitations made up! :)"
"I ordered this design for my daughter's 2nd birthday and i love it. Not only i like the design but the delivery of tiny print is so fast. Thumps up to you guys! Thank you!"

Brain tumors may cause feelings of tiredness or fatigue. In addition, brain tumors can cause problems with memory, reading and talking. However, not everyone gets every symptom. About one-third of people with brain tumors have no symptoms at all.
Brain tumors may be diagnosed and evaluated using one or more of several different types of procedures:
MRI, CT, and PET scanning are all ways to take pictures of the inside of the body. They do not require surgery. These procedures are discussed in more detail below.
MRIs use an extremely strong magnet to produce images. With contrast-enhanced MRI, the patient is first injected with a dye that makes normal and tumor tissue display differently. If your loved one requires an MRI, be sure to tell the doctor of any history of allergies or drug reactions. Because the MRI uses a magnet, no metal can be brought into the room while the MRI is taking place. Patients who have pacemakers and/or metal implants cannot have an MRI.
CT - Computerized Tomography A CT scan may be used for patients who cannot undergo MRI because they have pacemakers, metal implants, allergies or claustrophobia.
CT scan machines take multiple x-rays of small areas of the brain from different angles. The computer then combines the scans to make a detailed, three-dimensional image.
Because iodine may be used as a contrast agent to enhance the image, you should tell the doctor if your loved one has any allergies, diabetes, asthma, a heart condition, kidney problems or thyroid conditions.
PET - Positron Emission Tomography Scan PET scans are sometimes used in addition to MRI or CT to evaluate brain tumors. After receiving treatment for a brain tumor, PET scans can also be used to differentiate new tumor growth from scar tissue or necrosis (cells killed by radiation).
Biopsy Biopsy is the surgical removal of a small piece of the tumor tissue. The tissue is studied to confirm the type of tumor, and to help the healthcare team outline a treatment plan.
There is a range of options to be considered in the treatment of brain tumors. Your healthcare team will design a plan to help treat the tumor and relieve any symptoms the brain tumor may be causing.
The following healthcare professionals may be part of the treatment team:
Surgery The first treatment of choice, depending on the location and size of the tumor, is surgical removal of as much of the lesion as possible (also called resection). Surgery can also reduce symptoms caused by swelling in the skull. Improvement in surgical techniques in recent years has made surgery much safer; however, surgery always has risks that you and your loved one should discuss with the oncologist and neurosurgeon. Surgery may be followed by radiotherapy (see below) to help treat any remaining tumor cells. In deciding whether surgery is right for your loved one, your doctor will consider the size, location and type of the tumor, overall health, and medical history.
Radiation Therapy or Radiotherapy Radiation therapy is the use of painless x-rays which destroy tumor cells by making them unable to reproduce. Radiation may be used after surgery to prevent the tumor from coming back (recurrence), or to destroy tumor tissue that could not be completely removed. In cases where surgery is not an option, radiotherapy may be used instead of surgery to destroy tumor tissue or to relieve symptoms. Different types of radiotherapy are described below.
Chemotherapy Chemotherapy is the use of special drugs to kill tumor cells. Some chemotherapy drugs are given by mouth; others are given by injection. In some cases, chemotherapy may need to be given without stopping over a long period of time. In this case, a pump or catheter may be placed underneath the skin to deliver the drugs.
There is a chemically protective layer around the brain called the blood-brain barrier. This barrier can prevent the drugs or chemotherapy given by mouth or injection from reaching the brain. To solve this problem, new ways of giving chemotherapy are being developed to deliver the drug directly to the tumor. One example of this is chemotherapy wafer implants that are surgically implanted in the tumor site and deliver treatment over time. New drugs are also being developed which target specific abnormalities in the tumor cells. Referred to as "targeted treatments," this new generation of drugs forms the basis of personalized medicine.
Because chemotherapy affects both healthy cells and tumor cells, side effects can occur. These vary depending on the type of drug and the individual.
For a listing of frequently asked questions (FAQ's) about treatment for brain tumors, visit: http://www.braintumor.org/patients-family-friends/treatment/FAQ.html
The following treatments can help with the symp-toms of a brain tumor, such as headaches and nausea, although they will not actually help to remove the tumor or cure your loved one:
Steroids (Corticosteroids) Brain tumors often produce swelling and inflammation inside the skull. This can cause headaches, sleepiness and other problems. Steroids (corticosteroids), usually dexamethasone, reduce the swelling quickly and can improve mental functioning. Most patients feel better with short-term steroid medications; however, some will need to take steroids for more than a few months to control symptoms. If your loved one takes steroids as part of the treatment plan, be sure to tell the doctor or nurse about any changes in their health that you may notice. Steroids can cause side effects such as weight gain, increased appetite, insomnia and irritability. Also, your loved one should speak with the doctor if they decide to stop taking steroids as stopping suddenly can be dangerous.
Anti-seizure Medications (Anticonvulsants) Medications may be given to help prevent seizures. These medications are called anti-seizure medica-tions or anticonvulsants. There are several different anti-seizure medications available such as Keppra, Tegretol, Depakote, Neurontin, and Phenobarbitol. If your loved one is taking an anti-seizure medication as part of the treatment plan and either it does not work or causes unpleasant side effects, the doctor will be able to switch to a different medication.
Complementary Therapies Your loved one's medical treatment is carefully planned to control the disease and reduce the symptoms as much as possible. Many people seek out complementary therapies to help them feel better and cope with the stress of cancer. These therapies are not meant to replace the medical therapy, but may help your loved one to manage his or her symptoms. Complementary therapies for cancer may include stress management, relaxation and imagery training, meditation, group support, family counseling, nutrition, herbal medicine, massage, acupuncture and education. Some cancer centers and hospitals offer these services for people with cancer, their families, and their caregivers.
Clinical trials are research studies to test new treatments. For cancer research a clinical trial might focus on medication, surgery, radiotherapy, a new type of therapy, or some combination of these. Benefits of participating in clinical trials include:
Some risks of participating in clinical trials include:
Doctors are now investigating several treatments for brain tumors in clinical trials. Some new drugs are designed to increase the effectiveness of standard treatments, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Other new treatments are designed to change tumor cells, so that their growth is under control. There are many ways to find trials that might be appropriate for your loved one. Start by asking the doctor about what trials are available. Various organizations also provide lists of trials along with information about what is being tested, and where the trial is occurring. See the section below entitled Resources for information on how to contact these organizations. Be sure to check with your loved one's health insurance provider to see whether the costs of participating in the clinical trial are covered.
After treatment, a patient's health is monitored closely. An MRI, CT, or other type of imaging scan may be done every so often to see if the treatment is working. Frequent physical exams will help the doctor find out if the cancer has returned or if side effects are a problem. Be sure to report any recurrence of symptoms or other changes in your loved one's health promptly to the doctor or nurse.
Q: What effects do brain tumors have on the mind, emotions or personality? Brain tumors can indeed affect the mind, emotions, and/or personality. Problems with memory, speech, and/or concentration may occur. Your loved one may face serious mental challenges with feelings of confusion. Moods may change, as may the way a person acts. Your loved one may have difficulty doing more than one task at a time. Various treatments may slow the progression of these symptoms, so check with the doctor about what treatments may help.
Be aware that a neuropsychologist can help with rehabilitation. In order to come up with an effective plan, the neuropsychologist will first do a series of tests to look at your loved one's emotions, behaviors, and mental abilities. Based on the results of the tests, one or more of the following may be recommended:
Q: How can the home be safer for my loved one with brain tumors? Due to possible muscle weakness, changes in bal-ance, and other considerations, the following may help make your home safer for your loved one:
Q: How can I cope emotionally? As a caregiver, you may choose to receive counseling either to learn how to help your loved one deal with the mental changes they are having, or to learn to deal with your own reactions to changes in your loved one. This is a difficult time for everyone involved. While illness may bring people closer together, it may also cause tension, unhappiness and stress. Here are some suggestions for coping:

Diffusers - Transform your surroundings into a fragrant spaOne of the most effective ways to enjoy the therapeutic properties in pure essential oils is by diffusing them in the air allowing them to enter through the upper respiratory tract. A diffuser is a device that disperses the small volatile elements of the essential oil into the air. The environment becomes filled with minute oil particles, purifying the air of any foul odors. Wyndmere offers you a variety of ways to gently diffuse our pure essential oils or synergistic blends.
About AromatherapyAromatherapy is a holistic therapy that uses pure essential oils to positively influence the mind and body and to enhance emotional and physical well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from the aromatic part of the plant. They are wholly natural molecular substances which when diffused in the air are transmitted to the part of the brain that controls memory and emotional response. When used topically they are highly effective due to their ability to help stimulate the body's natural ability to heal.
Frequently Asked Questions:What is aromatherapy?Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that uses essential oils to improve one's health and psychological well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from the aromatic parts of herbs, flowers, trees and grasses. Valued for thousands of years, they are totally natural substances that have the ability to positively influence the mind and body.How are essential oils used?Because essential oils are highly concentrated, they need to be used with care. Apply them by the drop. The general rule is to dilute them before using topically. They may be diluted in carrier oils, lotions and hair care products, added to a bath, diffused in the air using an aroma lamp or diffuser, or added to water in a spray bottle. Select essential oils with similar properties and blend together to create your own unique aromas.How long do they last?Most essential oils will last approximately one to two years or more if properly stored. To preserve your oils, always store them in a tight container in a cool place. Heat will cause the oils to evaporate and the light will alter them chemically, reducing their effectiveness. Citrus oils are an exception; they will start to oxidize after a year. They can be preserved longer with refrigeration or adding vitamin E. There are some oils, such as Patchouli, Vetiver and Sandalwood, that only get better with age. What is steam distillation?Steam distillation is the most common way to extract an essential oil. The plant material is placed in the chamber of a still and subjected to concentrated steam; the steam passes through the aromatic capsules of the plant, causing them to release the essential oil. The aromatic steam now carrying the essential oil droplets then passes through a tube surrounded by cold water which causes the steam to condense back to water. Because of a difference in weight, the essential oil and distilled water separate and the oil is siphoned off. The water is collected after this process is referred to as a hydrosol or floral water. The quality of the final products are dependent on the quality of the plant material and the distillation equipment used as well as the skill of the person distilling. What is cold pressed?Typically employed on citruses, the essential oil is mechanically pressed out of the rind of the fruit. This method is also known as "expression." What is an absolute?The exquisite fragrance of some flowers is spoiled by heat using steam distillation, therefore, other means of extraction are used. An absolute is one of those means and is obtained by immersing the flowers in a solvent (usually hexane) which produces a waxy substance known as a concrete. The solvent is then removed from the concrete resulting in a thick oil known as an absolute which contains the essential oil properties from the flowers.Can I use essential oils internally?No. Wyndmere Naturals never recommends internal use of essential oils. Essential oils are very concentrated and, therefore, can be potentially toxic if taken internally. Also, ingesting oil is very dangerous because some of the oils are skin and mucous membrane irritants. Wyndmere's oils are considered therapeutic and research indicates the concentrated nature of pure oils is more effective when used in a room diffuser or applied topically after diluting 1%-3% in a carrier oil.
Can I use essential oils if I'm pregnant? Yes, however you should do so with caution. It is suggested avoiding the use of essential oils during the first trimester, and then use only a 1% dilution (or less) for the duration of the pregnancy. Oils that are suggested as safe are Geranium, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Neroli, Tangerine and Ylang Ylang.Are essential oils safe to use on children or the elderly? Yes, but it is suggested that no more than 1% dilution be used due to children and elderly sensitivities. Examples of oils which are safe to use on children are Chamomile Roman, Lavender, Myrtle, Neroli, Petitgrain and Rose. They can be diffused into a child's bedroom, added to the bath, or combined with a carrier oil or unscented lotion and massaged very gently into the skin.
Quality AssuranceThe therapeutic quality of an essential oil is affected by many factors. The quality of the plant material is extremely important. Plants that are indigenous to an area are generally of higher quality than those commercially grown elsewhere. The weather and environmental growing conditions affect the quality of the harvest. Oil quality even varies within a growing season if there are multiple harvest times. The elevation at which the plants are grown can affect quality and yield, for example when growing lavender. How and when the plant is harvested and how long it sits before being distilled are also critical factors. For example, the essential oil from Melissa officinalis is lost if the plant sits more than a few hours.
Quality begins with the plant itself. Plants that are thriving in their native habitat, harvested under the proper conditions and extracted by talented and capable distillers will produce the highest quality essential oil. Wherever possible, Wyndmere purchases essential oils extracted from plants that are indigenous and either grown organically, ethically wildcrafted or pesticide free. The company imports oils that are specifically used in hospitals, hospices and by aromatherapists. The oils have been consistently purchased from the same growers since the company's inception. The oils are purchased frequently to ensure freshness and bottled in small batches so they don't sit in a warehouse for long periods of time before being shipped to you. The product labels are informative and include the common name, botanical name and the country of origin. Wyndmere believes customers should know everything about the essential oils they are using for their health and well-being. Wyndmere does not test any of its products on animals, nor do the products contain any animal ingredients.In addition to the health and vigor of the plant, the talent and capability of the distiller is also an important ingredient in essential oil production. In fact, it is probably more important than the quality of the equipment. The role of the distiller is to extract the oil in a manner which keeps it as close to the chemical composition of the plant as possible. Some brilliant oils can be obtained from some of the most basic equipment if the plant material is excellent and the operator conscientious.
Wyndmere is a green company; they recycle and reuse wherever possible.

U.S.A. — (CNN) -- Years ago, maybe years upon years ago, you probably sat in a classroom and learned how chemicals combine to form new substances. You watched your teacher write on the board, drew a few pictures and completed a worksheet. Maybe you read the textbook at home and studied images of electrons being shared and transferred to form chemical bonds.
If you step into a high school chemistry class late next year, the students might be learning the same thing. But they could be manipulating foam or paper mache models to show how bonds are made, or moving electrons around on a computer screen, testing what happens when a transfer occurs.
Science classrooms in America will begin to change next year, when 26 states are expected to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards. How those students learn will often differ from the education their parents, or even their older siblings, had.
Whatever they're doing, they won't just be reading science translated into kid-speak by adults. They'll be making models, solving problems and getting messy, the standards developers said. They're expecting the next generation to gain an understanding of science and engineering that makes them competitive on a global scale.
"The Next Generation Science Standards... could potentially have a profound change on how we teach science," said Gerry Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teacher Association. "Parents need to know it's a different kind of classroom their child's going to see."
So exactly what will change?
Instead of just listening to a lecture, or maybe creating a model that represents a cell or an atom, students will use the models -- often created on computers -- to collect data or make predictions.
Their models won't be graded based on artistry, but on their knowledge of what they represent and how they go through processes. Is the sodium atom correctly constructed? What happens when electrons from that atom get close to electrons from a chlorine atom? Instead of seeing electrons bounce from one atom to the other, students will change their own dynamic models, forming the bonds themselves. Students won't be memorizing knowledge, they'll be constructing it.
The standards will integrate more technology and engineering -- the T and E in STEM curriculum you've probably heard about. Science and math will still be major parts of what kids learn, but expect engineering principles to receive as much attention as the scientific method does now.
Educators and business leaders hope this will keep students interested enough to pursue science, technology, engineering and math fields in college and prepare them for the workforce.
"Not all kids get the benefit of what's done, even at some of the outstanding schools, so I think we have a long way to go in getting our students prepared for college," astronomer and author Jeffrey Bennett said during a conference of science educators earlier this year.
While many students in the United States aren't ready for the science courses they'll face in college, Bennett said, sticking with the sciences can make it easier to find a job.
"There's a deficit in these fields," he said.
With the new standards, educators are hoping to standardize kids across the country. For the first time, what's taught in a science classroom in North Carolina should look similar to what's taught in Massachusetts, Iowa or Oregon.
States are used to going it alone when developing curriculum for the classroom. They collaborated on the Common Core standards for math and reading, and again to create the new science standards. Educators weighed in on their development, along with the National Science Teachers Association and Achieve, a bipartisan nonprofit led by state governors and business leaders.
Some schools are expected to implement the standards shortly after they're released in March, while some might have to wait for state school boards or lawmakers to OK them. States that didn't weigh in on their development can adopt them, as well.
Even once the standards are OK'd, they could be a challenge to implement. New experiences for students mean teachers have to learn new techniques, and schools might need to add new equipment. The costs will vary based on the state and students, Wheeler said, but he anticipates schools will need support from public and private sources in the years ahead. The dollars are likely to add up over time: 46 states and Washington, D.C., have spent almost $4 billion to implement the Common Core standards for math and language arts, according to a Thomas Fordham Insitute study.
Teachers are preparing for long days of professional development.
Georgia teacher Alicia Moore has been in the classroom for more than 20 years and knows she'll be spending some of her summer days in the classroom training on new techniques. Moore has been through plenty of standards revisions before, and they've gotten better every time, she said, but this change really works for students.
"I think [the students are] definitely trained in this new way of teaching," Moore said. "They know they're going to be involved. They know they're not just going to be able to come in and let me give them everything."
The National Science Teachers Associate will offer classes and webinars to help teachers make the transition, Wheeler said.
"There's going to be a need for a lot of support for the teachers," the association director said. "It's a new way of doing science in the classroom. Much more relevant, much more application-oriented."
Diana Callison is in her first year teaching biology at the same South Carolina high school she graduated from four years ago. The way she learned science and the way she teaches science aren't at all the same, she said.
"There's a lot more technology, new content, even new cutting-edge things...that weren't around four years ago when I was there," Callison said.
Vendors are already preparing supplies aligned with the new science curriculum, too.
Jeff Chirikjian, vice president of biotech education company Edvotek, said they sell kits that teach students techniques nearly identical to those used in crime labs and research facilities. The difference? Scale and price.
One kit the company sells allows students to amplify and analyze 12 DNA samples. The kit costs around $400, thousands less than a professional laboratory version that handles 96 samples.
"We made it simple, easy to use and safe, but yet it's still real science," Chirikjian said.
Of course, just because the classrooms operate differently doesn't mean everything will change.
"There's a lot of work that's been done on how to motivate kids, how to get them excited and so on," said Bennett, the astronomer, "but we forgot to tell the kids you actually have to go home and study hard."
