Brent reviews the variety of Hi-Hat Clutches available from Gibraltar Hardware. It's not always about the big racks and crazy drum set ups, sometimes it's the simple things that get you through the gig that matter most.
It's here! Gibraltar brings you the G Class Double pedal. It has all the features of the single pedal but as Brent says, time 2. And we didn't leave out you lefties so we have a left handed double pedal as well. The new G-Class was inspired by the demand for a pedal that could offer an ideal blend of power, speed, and style. The result is exactly that. Elegantly fusing innovation with function, the G-Class pedal is loaded with ground-breaking new control features. The unique design eliminates set-up complexities, and allows the player to fine tune the pedal's "feel" quickly and precisely. Gibraltar's G-Class pedal is a one-of-a-kind, high performance machine-from the beater, all the way down to the die-cast foundation plate.

That's why we recommend starting with the resonant head facing you, then puncture a hole with the hole cutting tool to mark your position and then turn it over to make the actual cut.

So many times drummers will bring percussion instruments to replace the drum kit.

Local Atmosphere: Local atmosphere of medical campus/Washington Heights neighborhood is not ideal. There is a lack of shopping and nice restaurants which have been dominated by the local population. It is dirty and dangerous in parts.
Local Atmosphere: Living in Manhattan is the best. Morningside Heights might not be the best neighborhood for outings but everything you could ever need is just a subway ride away!
Local Atmosphere: Columbia university is located in NYC thus the lifestyle is amazing
Local Atmosphere: Columbia's in a great place in NYC, close enough to the big attractions so that it's convenient to get to them, but far enough away where the noise isn't distracting. The main campus is located between Broadway and Amsterdam, so there are all kinds of stores within walking distance. The 116 Broadway subway stop is right in front the school gates, so transportations super convenient. Times Square is only a 20 min subway ride away. Museum Mile, on 5th avenue, is only a 30 min bus ride away. The school offers discount tickets to many of the shows, plays, and concerts currently showing, and your student ID lets you get into many museums and similar places for free.
Local Atmosphere: It's New York City. There is always something to do!

We haven't gathered enough student surveys yet to rank this school. If you are a student at this school, help out and take the college student survey!
Written by Sara Cervantes
One of the biggest draws of Columbia University is definitely its location in New York City. The city has something for everyone, as long as you're willing to look. This is often an issue for students, as they get so comfortable in the "Columbia Bubble" that they forget to venture outside of Morningside Heights. While the area immediately surrounding campus does have its fair share of bars, restaurants, and cafés, there is so much more to be explored a subway ride away.
While the city does house several colleges, it is nowhere near a "college town," and most residents could care less that you are a student (hey, it's New York after all). Living in New York requires a certain comfort level with independence, as it is easy to feel lost in such a huge city amongst so many people. Rather than letting this scare you, students should embrace the freedom of the city, and go out and explore it. If you like art, go explore the Museum Mile or galleries in Chelsea. If music is your thing, check out dingy venues downtown or in Brooklyn. If you miss the outdoors, go frolic in Central Park for a few hours on a spring day. There's a place for everyone in New York, and you'll find yours if you actively seek it.

What the Papers Say...
Some of our holidays are featured in the travel press. When this occurs we list them below and if possible, on the appropriate trips alongside the small 'News' icon featured on the left.
We have found this amazing footage, a BBC documentary, on YouTube covering an Exodus Overland trip from the UK to Nepal in 1975.
Quote from the Which? Holiday Tour Operator survey (January 2010 issue).
Tour reps [leaders] are at the coalface of customer relations, and with eight in ten of you having a tour rep on your holiday, it's good to see that overall, 82% of you were satisfied with their service.

The story below won Exodus a 'special' Wanderlust award: Storm in a Teacup!
Special reports in the media (week of 17 November 2009):
November 17, 2009 (Update 3): Miles SW of Snow Hill Island
Status Details - essel: M/V Kapitan Khlebnikov
Exodus Travels advises that the icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov (operated by our sister company Quark Expeditions) remains delayed in its return to port at Ushuaia, Argentina. This delay is due to poor weather conditions last week including heavy pack ice in the Weddell Sea. All guests aboard ship are safe and comfortable and continue to enjoy the top quality hospitality, entertainment and enriching education programme that Exodus polar expedition guests have come to expect on these journeys.
See our News page for more details of the events as they unfolded. Or read Paul Goldstein's radio cables from the ship.
Comments from Simon Calder's Blog:
When is an 'I'm late' excuse acceptable? When you're stuck in an Antarctic ice sheet...
So much travel, so little time – the first "simul-cast" Travel Clinic, available in vision online via the studio webcam as well as in audio, was all very busy. We got the first interview with the people just ashore after an Antarctic adventure on ice, and by all accounts a good time was had by all aboard the icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov even though it was caught up in pack ice for nearly a week. You can find out more about the experience at a special polar evening presented by our interviewee, Paul Goldstein, at the Copthorne Tara on 2 December.

A new Tillamook advertising campaign will begin airing in Los Angeles and San Francisco today. The campaign, called "California meets Tillamook" depicts a road-trip taken by two familiar characters from Oregon, Luke and Dale, as they travel throughout California in a Tillamook Baby Loaf Bus introducing the cheese that hails from their home state of Oregon. Check out the commercials below to meet Luke and Dale as they share their love of the loaf with California!
Dear Moguls
Luke and Dale always want to lend a helping hand. Here they give some friendly, sage advice on how Hollywood can make better movies.
Golden Gate
After watching this spot, you'll want to sample Tillamook Cheese…and possibly the Golden Gate Bridge.
Road Trip Song
Every great road trip — sponsored by a cheese company from Tillamook, Oregon — deserves its own song.
Oregon and California have many, many things in common. One is that both love great cheese.
Why The Ship
Luke and Dale tell the history of Tillamook Cheese. Why? Because we actually have one.
9 Months Old, Cypress
Luke and Dale know everything about cheese. Trees on the other hand…
State Cracker
Tillamook Cheese goes with all your favorite foods…even if they're not officially endorsed by the state.
How come you guys won't come out to Florida. We love your cheese here too! I used to eat a lot of your cheese when I lived in California, before I had my heart attack. Now I eat a little. But I still love it. Wish I could get coupons out here.
P.S.- Florida has "Crackers" all up and down the state. If you were born here you are known as a Florida Cracker!
Hi Bruce,
Thanks for being a Tillamook fan! I hope the Loaf Love Tour can make a trip out to Florida soon.
Callie, of the Tillamook team

Reviewer: 19-24 Female on Treatment for 6 months to less than 1 year (Patient)
Ease of Use
I take it before dental and medical appointments and on rare occasions when I have panic attacks or anxiety that isn't relieved with my usual coping skills (journaling, deep breathing, meditation, etc). It helps within a few minutes and makes a huge difference and it has made my life so much easier knowing I have it with me so I can relax instead of panic and get sick.

Activists to government: SF should be more like LA
What sets San Francisco apart from Los Angeles? When it comes to city agencies that are supposed to keep politicians, lobbyists and campaign financiers honest, there are evidently some key differences.
Last year, San Francisco's Budget & Legislative Analyst, Harvey Rose, drafted a report at the behest of Sup. David Campos comparing the San Francisco Ethics Commission to that of LA. It was meant as a precursor for moving forward with a package of tougher Ethics regulations governing areas like campaign finance, but so far little has happened on that front.
Some of Rose's findings are intriguing. For example, the report notes that in LA, investigations into possible ethics violations result in more findings of merit and, ultimately, significantly higher fines on average. Whereas the LA Ethics Commission dismisses just 19 percent of its cases, the vast majority of ethical investigations here in San Francisco – 76 percent – die off with findings of no merit, or "case dismissed."
Do San Franciscans have a tendency to file more complaints lacking in substance, or does this reflect the modus operandi of the Ethics Commission – an agency that has long been painted as a sleeping watchdog by good-government wonks?
"I think that could be a fascinating figure to get more detail about," says Eileen Hansen, a former member of the San Francisco Ethics Commission who served for six years. "LA heard more [cases], but we dismissed more," she added.
Hansen is part of an ad hoc group, Friends of Ethics, that's gearing up for an informational hearing scheduled for tomorrow, Feb. 27, to take a deeper look at the Rose report and consider what lessons San Francisco's Ethics Commission might learn from its counterpart in LA, where government accountability rules are regarded by lawyers and government transparency activists as a gold standard. Those who attend the "interested persons" meeting will enjoy a rare perk: The ability to address a commission without having to adhere to the two-minute time limit normally imposed at public hearings.
"Those who are on the commission's list – consultants, political treasurers, political lawyers, all the usual suspects – are the ones who have weighed in so far," an email circulated by Friends of Ethics points out. "For ten years the rules have been written by those special interests, and we are insisting that they be written for the public interest."
What's LA got that San Francisco doesn't? For one thing, the city bans political contributions from registered lobbyists. This means, for instance, that if a registered lobbyist is trying to sway an elected official who's up for reelection on, say, a major development project, that lobbyist is legally barred from writing a big fat juicy check to support said politician's campaign. In San Francisco, there is no such rule.
Hansen says there are other measures that could improve government accountability in San Francisco. "We ban contributions from city contractors, but we have a huge loophole," she explains, "of not including people seeking development projects. That's 90 percent. Development drives politics in this town," she added, noting that closing the loophole could be a possible reform.
"LA is doing some great things. Our hope is that we get the public to take the Rose report seriously," Hansen said. "It could inform the beginning of a reform package that we would love to see the Ethics Commission take seriously."
The Ethics Commission hearing will be held on Feb. 27 at 3 p.m. in San Francisco City Hall, Room 400.
Tempest in a teacup.
If it was #97 then how do you explain all the supes that were politically close to Mayor Willie Brown losing their re-election??? They presumably lost because voters saw them and Brown as being corrupt.
From my experience, I believe voters care deeply about ethics in govt. It's just that they are rarely (understatement) told when a govt official or govt agency is corrupt.
It doesn't help that the so-called Ethics Commission is a joke and doesn't enforce any ethics in SF.
But any pol who is revealed to the genl pop that he or she is unethical tends to be in big trouble politically.
Ever wonder why parking meter rates went up so much this year? Well, one reason could be the sweetheart contract that went to a Reston, Virginia company paying them a total of $55 million to collect those quarters out of our parking meters. Oh, and the company's main area of business? National security for the defense establishment.
But hey, it's a tempest in a teapot, not a way of doing business that comes out of your pocket. Or is it?
private sector company where the SF taxpayer is not on the hook for some insane healthcare and pension benefit.
Was the contract put to bid? If it wasn't, that's an invitation to corruption and makes one wonder if an influential city official is getting a nice kickback from that co.
What city agency gave out the contract?
How does one find out info on contracts the City signs with private vendors?
I ask because I'm trying to find info on the contract that City Fields (i.e., the late Republican billionaire Don Fishers' three billionaire sons) got to remove grass from city parks (including GG Park) to replace it with dead plastic.
Apparently they (or the contractor they choose) are getting $12 M for removing the grass from the Beach Chalet field in GGP. I'd like to know how to find out if that $12 M is just the starting point for what they will get from the City of SF or if it will eventually end up being a lot more (I suspect it will).
is letting public employee union leadership run wild in city government.
SF will never have a BOS representative of the citizens as longs as the worst special interest groups call the shots.
Then we could put these parasites out into the long grass.
with almost exactly the same population. Facts don't lie.
according to an article in the Chron in the last month. That blew me away especially when pension and healthcare costs will be an additional and significant expense.
If your 60% figure is true, that's a huge bill the City is paying relative to 1980. If the economy slows down significantly, the $ for that bill isn't gonna be there.

Who Needs Meth When You Have Bath Salts?
by Anjeanette Carter on January 26, 2011
Last week I wrote a post on vodka eyeballing, a really stupid way to get drunk. I figured that would be my only entry on "alternative" methods of getting high. But then I read about the bath salts and I just couldn't ignore it.
Some really desperate people have resorted to riding the "Ivory Wave" which is snorting, smoking, or injecting bath salts. This means you can take those lavender-scented crystals your girlfriend uses when she's PMS-ing and get a meth-like high. WTF??
Look, people, stop treating your local Bath & Body Works like a crack-house. If you want to do drugs, then do some drugs! Shooting vodka into your eye or snorting "eucalyptus breeze" is not only pathetic, but a total cop-out. Yeah, you'll never get arrested tripping off of bath salts, but isn't the danger element part of the whole allure of getting high to begin with?
All I'm saying is I know the economy sucks, but can you just go back to snorting coke?
Thank you.
UPDATE: Hey nerdists,
Some of you are expressing concern that I am misrepresenting how people get high on bath salts. I never thought I'd ever be at the
center of a debate about something like this (I hope you're proud, mom & dad!), but here I am. First of all, I am NOT a chemist. I interpreted the Washington Post article as the two chemicals mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone were derived from your mama's generic bath salts. It was presented this way in other articles when I did more research.
Sorry for the confusion. At the end of the day, I aim to entertain here and not encourage ANYONE to snort name brand bath salts nor back alley bath salts. xo, anjeanette

Wat was this all about?"I was force into three hospital and two different hospitals did have a fucking clue what i was on or how I was sleeping but after an 8 day stretch sleeping was easy and my piss came up clean consistently…I surree miss PV it was the shit"
Thanks guys now they are going to start monitoring how much bath salt we buy. Great!
Ok,, my boyfriend does bath salt, and it scares me because i dont want him to die. Is it really bad for you where you can die? He has been doing it for like 2 months now and im super scared. HELP ME!
I think all of yall that do that stupid shit are a waste of life… how fucking stupid do you have to be or how desperate to get high on bath salts wow dumb shits.
Bath Salts are not like people say.They call them Bath salts because that's the legal loophole to sell them and any other disguised products,Incense,Watch Cleaner,Bath Salt…..Oh and the ROLE-X atch cleaner used to be bk-mdma or methylone it's now Butylone or Bk mdbd which is identical to MDMA except for one molecule..none of these products weren't invented as a bath salt.Thee main chemical in the coke like ones is mephedrone or thats what used to be in it before(if) the DEA scheduled it yet.otherwise its flephedrone or something that has CNS qualities.Any of the herbal incense aren't going to harm you either the active ingredient in those are simply manmade canabanoids.Synthetic pot…They extract 56 different cannabanoids in marijuana and a handful have been made into an oil based powder that you're supposed to vaporise in which triggers your CB1 and cB2 receptors.Research chemicals are the proper name and if you do research wehat you're doing before ingestng,snorting,etc youll be fine…..Most come as 500mg and most chemicals get you high around 20-100mg pending on the drug so be careful
The "bath salts" discussed for this article were purposefully manufactured to be a synthetic drug like meth. My company which manufactures real bath salt made from sea salt (like those found in most bath & body products) do not contain ANY chemicals (that I am aware of) that would get you high… if regular/real bath salt got people high, it would be a miracle. Sea salt, fragrance and color (maybe some shelf-life preservatives/UV stabilizers) are the basic ingredients. That's all…use them to take a bath with only (duh)
Wow, hearing these stories tell me one thing. I hope all of you die of an OD. your won't understand it until you take the drug, my ass!! it takes a dumbass depressed psycho-path to stoop that low. you all disgust me, i hope you end up in jail. how dumb are people? it wouldn't surprise me if any of the girls here are also pregnant at age 16. fucking douchebags. get a life, play a sport and stop doing drugs. jerk offs.
They should keep the salts ect legal, even though they can be dangerous; because although it can be dangerous if an idiot gets ahold of it and uses a ridiculous amount, it is still safer than coke or meth especially, and every time someone buys bath salts instead they are giving their money to a regular business rather than funding a cartel. There would be OD cases, but probably a lot less than you get now with crack and meth (and aspirin and tylenol)
This was the most misinformed article on this subject I have yet come across. To the author, the bath salts from the store are scented epsom salts. That is not what they are referring to with this new bath salt craze. You should research more before writing such ridiculous things.
@missCatina: how much has this trend inadvertently stigmatized you and your co-workers? (she's a DRUG DEALER!!!)
Its not bath salts from fuckin Bath and body works its form smoke shops and it isn't actually meant for a bath. It's being sold that way so that it can be sold in general. The substance is basically meth.
@cx Yes we know, you trailer cow. That guy was talking to the lady from bath and body who sells a product of the same general title. And it's not basically meth. A stimulant, yes. But meth is far more addictive, far longer duration, damages neurotransmitters, makes your teeth fall out, and actually does kill a lot of people. The 'bath salts' also can poison people, but only the very dumbest of the few, who take a ridiculous amount all at once. Or, as I call it: the gene pool's 'Darwin Effect'.
P.S. Any coke heads, try to switch to bath salts! Your money will support head shops etc. here in america, instead of a cartel in mexico or south america!
id like to see u stuff some of the shit up ya nose before talkin shit
peeps dont realize this is some off tha got dam chain strength killer 'DOPE'
take advatage while ya can fellow lowlifes cause it aint gonna be legal 2 much longer cause nosy-ass police and old-ass burnout politicians who dont know shit will be out of pocket from lack of busts
Me and my husband try to smoke the white magic and did not like it.We smoked PUMP IT and BLISS and it was great can anyone tell me how to smoke the WHITE MAGIC
Research many of these and what they do and you will find they were synthesized decades ago, and many of them are still used (under script names) for things such as depression, weight loss, ADD, narcolepsy, etc. The danger is ingesting something that you have no real knowledge of. Plus every drug affects everyone differently. For instance, things like a person's allergies, tolerance threshold, the meds they might take , and many other factors have to be taken into consideration, as hospital bills are high. If you're considering research chemicals it can never hurt to run it by your doctor as by law (Dr. patient confidentiality) he can't and won't snitch. If your committed to try something anyway, AT LEAST test only about 4-8 mg in case of adverse effects. Be aware of your bp and heart rate. For god's sake be careful! Hospital bills are high, and I thing you know the serious prices there can be to pay. Not including the funeral bill.
p.s. none of these "salts" are "basically meth". stimulants in general, yes. Meth is a specific molecule in the phenylethylamine family.
you guys are idiots and are gunna die…thats not to snort of smoke iditios…its to clean your body
It WILL Show in your system even it a piss test! You will piss dirty for METH from snorting bath salts and it CAN kill you! It causes an highly increase heart rate and blood pressure sending you into cardiac arrest!
Aug. 16, 2011 — Mephedrone, a key ingredient in the designer-drug mix sold as "bath salts" or as other substances, induces methamphetamine-like cravings in rats.
But mephedrone isn't exactly like meth, cocaine, ecstasy (MDMA), or other new designer drugs, according to rat studies led by pharmacologist Annette E. Fleckenstein, PhD, and colleagues at the University of Utah.
It has its own unique combination of effects and toxicities:
Like meth but unlike ecstasy, rats quickly develop a craving for mephedrone and will keep pressing a lever in order to get more.
Like meth, mephedrone increases brain levels of dopamine.
Like ecstasy, mephedrone increases brain levels of serotonin.
Like ecstasy, repeat doses of mephedrone damages the brain's ability to respond to serotonin (although human users of bath salts frequently binge, while ecstasy users usually don't).
Like both ecstasy and meth, mephedrone causes the body to overheat."Mephedrone is a unique psychostimulant of abuse that shares pharmacological properties similar to, and yet distinct from, both meth and MDMA," Fleckenstein and colleagues conclude. "Its ability to cause subjective effects resembling MDMA reportedly likely contributes to its abuse. However, its ability to cause dopamine release greater than MDMA may be particularly problematic in that, in comparison to MDMA, this drug hay have enhanced abuse liability more resembling dopamine-releasing agents such as meth."
Bath Salts, Plant Food, Decorative Sand, and Toy Cleaner
Mephedrone is sold as "bath salts" or as other innocuous products in an effort to sidestep drug laws, DEA Special Agent Gary Boggs tells WebMD.
"In order to escape law enforcement scrutiny, products are labeled 'not for human consumption,' but they know full well it is intended for that," Boggs says. "The federal analog statutes let us prosecute someone selling a specific analog of a controlled substance, but it has to be similar — chemically similar and pharmacologically similar — and intended for human consumption. … So the veiled attempt is to put these things on the market as something they are not."
In addition to being called bath salts, mephedrone has also been sold as plant food, decorative sand, and even as toy cleaner. It goes by a variety of brand names. Two very popular ones are Ivory Wave and Vanilla Sky; others include Purple Wave, Red Dove, Blue Silk, Zoom, Bloom, Cloud Nine, Ocean Snow, Lunar Wave, White Lightning, Scarface, and Hurricane Charlie.
Mephedrone has never been approved for human consumption — hence the initial studies in rats — nor are these illicit products made under the kind of good manufacturing practices necessary for legal drugs, supplements, and foods.
Mephedrone is a so-called designer drug. It's a man-made derivative of the psychostimulant cathinone, which comes from the plant called khat.
Bath salts and similar substances are a growing problem. As of July 31, U.S. poison control centers had received 4,137 calls about bath salt "exposures." In all of 2010, there were only 303 such calls.

And SWEEP26 ,…I LOVE YOUR COMMENT
when i was on salts i also heard voices and actually talked backed until i realized no one was there but i even then they were so real and i really thought i was talking to someone that i just couldn't see. these drugs made me crazy and i most definitely lost my mind. it was hard to get away but i had no choice. i did nothing but sleep for almost two weeks after i came off the drug and couldn't eat anything without getting sick. it honestly breaks my heart to see these comments of people saying they do it all the time and are not effected like i was. but i know for a fact that they are going through the same thing and don't even realize it yet. one day when you finally come all the way down and are off of the drug for a period of time you will see the mistakes you made and that the things you did and said were wrong and hurtful to everyone who saw you. you will realize that you broke your parents' hearts and put them through hell while watching you come close to your death. when you lose weight and look sick like someone on bath salts does it breaks your family and friends' hearts. it is a horrible thing to do and see someone do. please help yourself now before you end up like the multiple people who have died from this drug. it is no joke.
Some guy got high off of bath salts and ended up stripping naked and chewing off some hobo's face. Not only that a guy decided to get high off of bath salts which resulted to him eating his roomate's heart and parts of his brain. And a mother got high off of bathsalts and ate her three year old son's brain and three of his toes. Want to get high of that shit now?
Please dont do any drugs give your life to jesus not satan jesus will help you he loves you all drugs is doing is filling a void in your life choose jesus true happines
if you thought "bath salts" were intense, wait till you try "wrinkle cream" and "leave-in conditioner"
Regular bath salts do not contain dangerous chemicals, the ones that are illegal narcotics are just labeled "bath salts" but it's really just drugs in a bottle
people that rely on drugs for happiness are stupid. if I had it my way I'd rid of all the stupid Synthetic Bath Salt. bars of soap is good enough to clean your ass. people only make these products to make money. it's all greed. a bar of soap can clean just as well. STOP DOING DRUGS. do you want these drugged zombies all over the world?! if so you best be getting a shot gun. because it took five bullets to kill Rudy Eugene and he would not stop the attack until he was dead. so it causes super human and fucked up "Zombies" basically. I don't know what else to call a person that does something so insane. lay off the drugs.
Lmao @ a bunch of morons actually defending bath salts. Regardless of what you may think or say only a total idiot would defend the reasoning or decision to take bath salts. Grow up, douchebags. Do drugs if you want (hopefully you'll OD and the species will get stronger) but try to be self-aware: there's nothing adult or intelligent about what you're doing, stop defending it, you just sound like every annoying potser that talks about nothing but marijuana decriminalization. Stop sucking at life.
I've only recently heard of this, pretty crazy stuff! Some of the things I've read are pretty scary, and I used to be an avid drug user including methamphetamines. I'm with you, go find a drug dealer and do the real stuff; it's not that hard to find a tweaker, not like they just blend in. got to Wal-Mart in the middle of the night and you should be in luck, a caveat; tweakers are a little paranoid so use extreme tact when approaching.
Comment/question. aside from all the wacky paranoid stuff, wouldn't doing bath salts make you bloat up like a dead cow in the middle of a hot Texas afternoon?
Im pretty sure that one of the first signs of too much salt intake is your ankles and feet start to swell up. A sign that you are retaining water trying to flush the excess salt out of your body.
Anyone agree or disagree? -
Can somebody tell me where to get done bath salts from
Australia -
well I have seen the affects of salts my friend literally bit chunks out of her gfs face not cool
Wowwww you people are stupid, and funny as fuck.
You don't seriously believe that what we take are -actual- bath salts, do you?
I suppose you think the research chemical pellets we take are -actually- "plant feeders" to feed our plants, too!
Don't believe what's on the label. They label it as bath salts to get around grey area laws. If they classified it as a product for human consumption they'd be hit with a thousand different statutes and would have to pass all sorts of tests.
Nope. Package the research chemicals as "plant feeder", "bath salts" etc and those who enjoy research chemicals will know what they are.
While idiots like you are running around going "OMG people are snorting actual plant feed pellets and bath salts?! z0mg wow I'm out of touch!"
1 type bath salt is for bathes and remedies use topical solutions which are usually scented. The other type is a cocktail of dangerous chemicals similar to meth. These meth bath salts sold in most tobbaco, and pipe/bong shops. They usually sell you a little baggie (about 1 gram/1 spoonful) for $20 – $25. The scented ones you can buy a big jug for $8.00 at walmart. See the difference.

Title: | Robotic Roux-en-Y Duodenojejunostomy for Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome: Operative Technique |
Author(s): | Ayloo, Subhashini M.; Masrur, Mario A.; Bianco, Francesco M.; Giulianotti, Pier C. |
Subject(s): |
Superior mesenteric artery
robotic |
Abstract: | Background: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, also known as Wilkie's syndrome, is a rare condition characterized by vascular compression of the duodenum that leads to intestinal obstruction. While there have been a few recent case reports of laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy performed as an option for surgical treatment, the role of the da Vinci® robot in superior mesenteric syndrome has been underestimated. The authors report a robotic Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy for the treatment of SMA syndrome. Materials and Methods: A 39-year-old man with a history of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis presented with an upper gastrointestinal obstruction with distended abdomen. A computed tomography scan showed a transition in the third portion of the duodenum where the SMA vessels crossed over, with a decompressed jejunum. He was identified as a candidate for a duodenojejunostomy. The da Vinci Surgical System was used to mobilize the colon and duodenum, and a Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy was performed with hand-sewn anastomosis. Results: There were no intraoperative complications. The blood loss was minimal and operative time was 120 minutes. The postoperative course was uneventful with resolution of intestinal obstruction. Conclusion: Robotic Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy as a surgical option for treatment of SMA syndrome is safe, feasible, and a valid alternative to open surgery with the added benefits of a minimally invasive approach. |
