Green Mini Demo Derby
October 29th, 2013This year I put a ridiculous amount of time and energy into making a solar powered remote control car demolition derby (Green Mini Demo Derby). From asking numerous businesses to consider sponsoring a solar powered remote control car demolition derby, to building a mobile solar power station, to learning about remote control cars, retrofitting them so they are able to efficiently destroy each other, and spending countless hours painting corporate logos on cars and uniforms, it was a long, often confusing, process. I was nervous and excited (mainly terrified) for the first event, hoping the cars got charged efficiently, ran well, broke well, and that the event would be exciting.
Installation with Mobile Solar Power Station
The first round is now over and I'm preparing for the Championship on November 14th, 6pm at Inova, Milwaukee, WI. The Riverwest Public House, Brenner Brewing Co, Sky High Skateshop, and Midwest Photovoltaics will be competing for the Championship and there will be a large grudge match of the nine remaining racers!
What it is:
The Green Mini Demo Derby includes a mobile solar electric power generator that fuels a demolition derby made up of remote control cars. Businesses have sponsored race teams, with each team having their own driver, car, and uniform. The cars have customized wood bodies and compete on a plywood course. There will be multiple heats of between 6 and 8 cars, with the winners of each heat competing in a final race for the trophy. These competitions will occur over the course of the Mary L Nohl exhibition at INOVA, Milwaukee, WI, USA with the cars being displayed as they transform.
About the project:
Green Mini Demo Derby brings the worlds of county fairs and alternative energy into collision. Businesses were invited to sponsor a car and share in this absurd, urgent experiment in sustainable destruction. The sponsors, largely companies looking to create ethical business models, can make a game of (and possibly comply with) the capitalist tenets of self-interest and survival of the fittest. The pleasure and pathos of this project is amplified as the viewer watches a local corporate death match wrapped in a cloak of environmental sustainability.

Little Brown Mushroom Camp for Socially Awkward Storytellers
August 10th, 2013I recently spent a week at the Little Brown Mushroom Camp for socially awkward storytellers. It was put on by Little Brown Mushroom and Alec Soth. More a workshop than a residency we met each day and did projects, shared these projects, heard from visiting artists, and had great lunches and dinners together. It was difficult at times for me, I was working much faster than I am used to, the only one making drawings and surrounded by accomplished photographers. It was intimidating, but fantastic, I learned so much, got a few good stories out of it, and made some new friends. I did manage to take some photos, which were embarrassing to show and made some drawings. Excited that one of the photos I made is going to be in the British Journal of Photography.
And here are press links about the project :
Green Mini Demo Derby – in progress
August 8th, 2013
I'm excited to finally have completed the first car for my upcoming Green Mini Demo Derby. Thanks to my sponsor Midwest Photovoltaics, this is your car for the Demo Derby. I have many other sponsors that will have their own cars, and will be posting their photos shortly. After many tests, I have been building all the bodies out of wood and aluminum flashing, and on inspection you can see this one has already had a few repairs after testing.

60 WRD/MIN ART CRITIC: Lori Waxman reviews Essential Knowledge drawings.
June 10th, 2013What kind of knowledge does a person need to know in order to survive the threats of our terror-stricken, post-9/11, environmentally fraught, natural-disaster-prone day and age? With tongue firmly in cheek, Colin Matthes has created a series of posters illustrating in great detail what he takes to be the "Essential Knowledge" of today. This includes how to prepare small game, make weapons in a pinch, throw a knife, start a fire without matches, encode messages, shoot a semi-automatic pistol, make a boat from the ruins of a gas station, purify water, and break down a door. The resulting series registers as part Boy Scout manual, part outdoorsman guidebook, part Army/Navy training notes, and part, um, paranoid conspiracy theorist Internet search results. What could be more apt reading for the average American? With the right packaging—certainly not the scrawled, lone man in the woods drawing style that the artist has perfected—Matthes could have a best-seller on his hands. And a whole lot of blood.

Pick your team and go for the gold in the Olympic basketball tournament featuring high flying bunnies and real Olympic teams.
Rated 4 / 5 stars June 20, 2013
The lag time between the person pressing the control and the bunny person reacting to it makes this game a little bad and impossible to beat in my opinion because i can't score that much and the bunny on the other team just walks forwards and scores and i am just sitting here banging my keyboard screaming BULL CRAP
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars April 4, 2013
Great graphics. Nice music. I feel like the controls need to be fixed cause there is lag time between the character and the controls in curtain situations. For example: if I want to get back and defend after moving forward it takes a few seconds for the character to respond.
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 21, 2013
idk how people could say its hard to play lol you jump if u miss follow were u think the ball is gonna land and jump befor or "ontime" to hit the ball first and win lol u can even hit threes soon as the ball drops ... easy and im on a lap top with little keys on it ..cmon
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars March 5, 2013
the game is good but the users bunny is to glitchy making it harder to score a goal, the timer should stop once the scroe is made and start once the ball is dropped. other then those decent and addicting.

I'm pretty broke myself, but my paypal account had a little bit of money in it, and I can't think of a better cause, then to Geohot and the defense of consumer rights.
I donated. I've had an iPhone 3G and currently own an iPhone 4 and PS3. Geohot has made my devices usable.
I don't even have a PS3 so I don't give a **** but donated.
SONY should be ashamed of em self,y goin after the Geohot,they could just release another firmware to patch the leak just like Apple always do instead of hatin on the boy coz he got smatter than them
You sow your own fate ...
I'm getting married this year if anyone wants to donate money to me, I'll set up a website where you can donate via paypal!!
I just donated $200 alot of you guys are making great points, alot of others are small minded. Look if you have never used a jailbreak a hack etc... Then feel free talk all the crap you want. But this guy has done so much for our community that it would be irresponsible not to help him out. If you love ur hacks themes cydia for that matter then donate at least one dollar. Because if sony wins we could soon loose cydia and the ability to jailbreak out apple products period. And if u don't like him personally your an idiot you never met the guy, but he gives u stuff for free. Get over yourself this about bullies picking on the little guys and we are those little guys let's go after the bullies
I support the cause for consumer rights!!!! [email protected] just donated
Money Sent.
Confirmation number: 55H117822H9379454
Donation amount: $500.00 USD
Total: $500.00 USD
Purpose: SCEA v Hotz Legal Defense Fund
If you are on this site, and if you have EVER jail-broken an iPhone or iPod, and you don't think you should send money to this kid, something is very wrong with your reasoning in my estimation.
This has nothing to do with how you feel about Geo personally, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know a corporate bully when you see one. This is what the internet is for- to allow individuals to come together to combat an oppressive force in a way that has never been historically possible. The kid needs help, I for one sent him some.
Did anyone notice that all the people saying this guy should be strung up or is gettin' what he deserves are running MSFT OS's? What's up with that? :-D
I'm definitely throwing some sheckles his way. He's done a ton for the JB community and deserves our support. This isn't just about his rights, its about all of ours!
I don't have a lot to donate but every little bit helps so I'll be donating for sure.
Yeh but what have you or your wedding gona do or have done for the jailbreak community??? Whereas he has done ALOT for the community, heck if it wasn't coz of people like him we wouldn't even have a jailbreak. Ur wedding ain't Gona help in any jailbreak is it?
I'm pretty sure that u jailbreak ur iPhone and most likely u have used his jailbreak software in the past!
Errmm there already is, I've been using it for ages lol.
Totally agree with geohot!
Justice 4 Geo
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jQ7oiPmAc8]YouTube - JUSTICE 4 GEO : The King of Hack[/ame]
I am donating. I don't even own a PS3 but I do believe in consumer rights. He is being singled out and Sony is trying to make an example of him. Lets not let the big corporations intimidate us with these scare tactics. We as the consumers DO HAVE the right to modify our equipment. I bought it I own it I can do whatever I please with it.....screw off!!!
Yes GeoHot has the right to mod any system he owns, as do well all, but he did not have the right to distribute private information belonging to Sony. (i.e the PS3 Keys)
He knew perfectly well that by posting them on his own website that he would kick off a lawsuit from Sony. If he wanted to let others avail of his work he could have very easily "leaked" the necessary information anonymously.
Btw, Sony also have the right to protect their games division from piracy which what all system modding eventually leads to, whether the original hackers like it or not.
So I'm sorry but I'm not giving this guy a cent. In my opinion he brought this on himself.
Tenia que ser mayate el wey
why donate via paypal when they take a percentage of the donated fund for using their service. should have used the google method lol
Ill donate for sure I don't even have a ps3 I don't even like video games but I love my jailbrocken iPhone 4 thanks to limera1n=Geohot
Acting out for more attention, spread the word..? Wtf.. Grow up. If these hackers had such strong feelings toward how Sony operated -- they would've attacked the issue from the get-go. The big crusade for all thats wrong with the world always starts *AFTER* they get stuck in a tight situation.. Like a child. It's never your fault, it's the big evil corporations! Those are people's jobs, PC's and home gaming consoles are two completely different things, yea it came with Linux.. You abused it to the point where it had to be taken from you, and everybody else. Take some responsibility and you might get taken a bit more seriously, the evil corporations supply JOBS for people who have families to support while you devise ways to manipulate systems to your advantage, now it's the legal system and all for what? Some childish need for attention so people can see how clever you are? Sadly, I do agree Sony needs to be taken down a notch but after the silly battle rap and constant whining I already know Sony will win. You're not Robin Hood looking to make information free for all, its always the "GeoHotz Show", if that were the case you would have banked on the iPhone unlock and approached this thing with the intention of making permanent change. You're not the only hacker out there, you're just the loudest. Egomaniac. Even still, I donated anyway.. I wish you the best, I just know you can be much better if only we could update your bloody firmware.
Godspeed & God bless.
Go Geohot! I support you 100%! Sony already knows they have NO case and NO chance to win. They are doing this only to make a point and to try and punish Geohot. Sony has plenty of money and attorneys already on retainer, while Geo is asking for donations for his defense. Sony figures if they can Bankrupt Geohot it will make him go away. Keep fighting Geohot! We're all behind you! F Off Sony!

How to find a home for a beloved pet or rescued animal
Pet Adoption Tips
If you haven't done so already, get to a vet!
You must have shots and a clean bill of health for your animal. This is a must today. A new family doesn't want to fall in love with a pet only to suffer the heartbreak of his dying of some common preventable disease. Not to mention if you already have a pet – you don't want to infect them by association.
Is the animal lost or abandoned?
Place a paid classified ad in your area newspaper. "Your area" is defined as your immediate geographic surroundings, with a total population of at least 100,000. There is usually at least one major newspaper in each area of that size. Your area may be a few square miles in a major city or many square miles in the country.
The pet adoption tips we offer are a set of guidelines to help you find a home for a rescued animal.
If you've just rescued a poor little dog or cat… then congratulations!! You are one of the few willing to put yourself out and give him a second chance.
The "humane societies" are filled and will most likely put your rescue "to sleep" (kill him) if you take him there. You must know this already or you wouldn't be doing this adoption yourself.
If you don't have much time or a place to keep the animal, board him in a kennel for a couple of weeks until you find him that new home. You can find kennels listed under "Dog Boarding" or "Dog Kennels" in the yellow pages. Visit the kennel first and be sure it is well run; inspect all the dog and cat areas to be sure they look OK. And don't forget to visit the animal!
Why you must do this yourself. . .
Unfortunately, you can't just call someone "animal group" and think it will take over your problem. Legitimate organizations have many animals and don't have the money – or the time either to take an extra one.
Nationally only 5% of all pets given to a shelter are adopted to a new home.
You must decide if your rescue is just "lost" or actually "abandoned. If he looks healthy, happy and fat, place "FOUND" ads in your local newspaper and put up signs on trees and sign posts in the area where you found him. Look through back issues of your local newspapers for "LOST" ads that might fit his description. If he is in poor shape – thin, worn, etc. – he has probably been abandoned. More tips to follow.
DELTA Rescue depends entirely on donations from individuals like yourself. We rescue dogs and cats who are abandoned in the wilderness, left to starve to death. We currently have over 1500 animals at our 115- acre no-kill super sanctuary. Won't you please join this mission of mercy today. Click here to contribute to DELTA Rescue

Icons and launch images for iPhone and iPad apps
Question: As a graphic designer I often have to design icons, logos, launch and background images for iPhone applications. Latest apps run on iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3, iPhone 4GS and iPad and there is a big boom and confusion in this area. I use Adobe Photoshop CS4. What size and type of images do I have to create for such a project?
Guys! Please note that icon and launch image sizes are moving targets so check out the latest Apple documentation first. They have improved their docs pretty well in the past year or so. Apple guidelines
We use the following table for our iPhone/iPad projects when the OS target is 3.2 or above. The table is updated for iOS 5 and Xcode 4.3.3:

Typical icons are PNG files with 90 degree corners, but no transparency, no layers, and set to 72 PPI. iPhone OS applies rounded corners, optionally shine, and other effects. If you have added these effects let your programmers know it. When you do not let the iPhone/iPad OS to apply the gloss to your icons, developers must add a key to info.plist called UIPrerenderedIcon and make it checked. The standard bit depth is 24 bits + 8-bit alpha channel.
Designers and programmers alike understand now that the sizes of items on iPhone/iPad screens are not constants. Differences in screen size and zoom functionality are common place, but PNG format and 72 PPI is still the default. (PNG discards pixel density. Most image editors, including Adobe Photoshop, assume that an image's pixel density is 72 if the information is not stored.)
iPad icons can be tricky. Some designers release the standard iPad icons only but fail to include some crisp small size icons as options for OS. Add some tiny iPad icons to your project in the sizes of 64×64, 32x32px, 24x24px and 16x16px. Programmers know how to include these files (see Info.plist).
You should know that when the user taps on the main application icon the app immediately starts to load. It's important to make the launch time as short as possible. Every iPhone/iPad app should ship with a launch image which mimicks the interface by using a static image. The launch image should be as small a file as possible to ensure quick loading. Do not create image files in the megabyte territory.
Notes for developers:
In the Info.plist file developers specify the orientations the application supports along with the related launch images. If missing, they must add these lines:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | <key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key> <array> <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string> <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string> <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string> <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string> </array> |
Developers may change previous naming conventions, as we did, and use their own custom name of icon and launch image files. We usually want to configure our iPad applications differently from iPhone versions, so we specify device-specific values for Info.plist keys. For example:
iOS documentation: "The image files used to represent icons and launch images must all reside in the root level of your bundle. How you identify these images to the system can vary, but the recommended way to specify your application icons is to use the CFBundleIconFiles key… In addition to the icons and launch image at the top level of your bundle, you can also include localized versions of those images in your application's language-specific project subdirectories". The filenames can be anything you want, but all image files must be in the PNG format.
1. If your iPhone application supports running in iOS 3.1.x or earlier, you cannot use the CFBundleIconFiles key to specify your icon files. You must create icons of the same size as listed in our table, but each image must be named as follows:
Icon.png – Application icon on iPhone or iPod touch
Icon-72.png – iPad application icon in a Universal application
Icon-Small.png - Search results and Settings icon on iPhone and iPod touch
Icon-Small-50.png – Search results in iPad applications
Since version 3.2 if you specify an Icon-Small.png or Icon-Small-50.png file in your bundle, the system prefers those icon files over the ones in the CFBundleIconFiles key and the iOS prefers the application icon defination in the CFBundleIconFiles key over any other one.
2. The iOS is finally making the move into resolution independence and your image objects aren't measured in pixels, but in points. Points don't always correspond to pixels. The screen size of the iPhone 3 is 480×320, in both points an pixels. The iPhone 4′s screen size is 960×640 in pixels, but its logical screensize still remains at 480×320 in points. Keep your frame, point and size values in their original values and still support larger resolution devices. On iPhone 4 you may insert "@2x" in the name of the image file and it will be used automatically on the higher resolution devices. Use like "email@example.com". The simulator of XCode 3.2.6 still reports screen size of 320×480, but see what you have done… on a hires device.
Check out UIScreen class reference for properties of bounds and currentMode. The bounds property gives us the rectangle of the screen in points.The currentMode.size property represents the screen size in pixels. For example, since iOS 4, [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile: ] recognises when an image has the '2x' version and displays it correctly.
3. In the Info.plist, at the CFBundleIconFiles key, if you do not specify the filename extensions for launch and icon images, you can avoid listing all of the 2x variations, and the Info.plist would look like this:
iOS 4, 5 comments for developers:: As you can see, the hi-res version of the same launch image should be named email@example.com. If you did not specify a custom launch image name, these files must be named Default.png and firstname.lastname@example.com, respectively. If you include a filename extension, you must explicitly add the names of all image files. For universal iPhone/iPad apps the orientation-specific launch image filenames can be as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | orientation_modifier: -Portrait or -Landscape scale_modifier: @2x device_modifier: ~ipad or ~iphone: For standard devices: filename.png and filename~ipad.png For retina displays: email@example.com and filename@2x~ipad.png such as: launchimage-Portrait.png email@example.com (retina iPhone) launchimage-Portrait~ipad.png launchimage-Landscape~ipad.png (iPad landscape) launchimage-Portrait@2x~ipad.png (retina iPad) launchimage-Landscape@2x~ipad.png (retina iPad landscape) You can use the method of [UIImage imageNamed:@"launchimage.png"] to load these images but you must know that devices are case sensitives in file names. |
If you don't have a @2x~ipad file the iOS 5+ will use the @2x file instead. If you do not specify a custom launch image filename, you must use the names of Default-Landscape.png and Default-Portrait.png.

Rear differential interchange
I bought a used rear end from a friend from a '89 PU to put into my '93 Chevy stepside, but the leaf spring, shock, and bump stop brackets don't line up. What years should I look for to fit?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Release Date
May 2, 2014 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Synopsis
Weve always known that Spider-Mans most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.
Its great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, theres no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Credits
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz, Colm Feore, with Paul Giamatti and Sally Field
Written by: Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Jeff Pinkner Directed by: Marc Webb Produced by: Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach Distributor: Columbia Pictures Release Date: May 2, 2014 if you're excited for The Amazing Spider-Man 2

What is it?
Echinacea is an herb. Several species of the echinacea plant are used to make medicine from its leaves, flower, and root.
Echinacea is widely used to fight infections, especially the common cold and other upper respiratory infections. Some people take echinacea at the first sign of a cold, hoping they will be able to keep the cold from developing. Other people take echinacea after cold symptoms have started, hoping they can make symptoms less severe. The people who use echinacea to treat symptoms have the right idea. Research to date shows that echinacea probably modestly reduces cold symptoms, but it's not clear whether it helps prevent colds from developing.
Echinacea is also used against many other infections including the flu, urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast infections, genital herpes, bloodstream infections (septicemia), gum disease, tonsillitis, streptococcus infections, syphilis, typhoid, malaria, and diphtheria.
Other uses not related to infection include chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), rheumatism, migraines, acid indigestion, pain, dizziness, rattlesnake bites, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Sometimes people apply echinacea to their skin to treat boils, abscesses, skin wounds, ulcers, burns, eczema, psoriasis, UV radiation skin damage, herpes simplex, bee stings, and hemorrhoids.
Echinacea species are native to North America and were used as traditional herbal remedies by the Great Plains Indian tribes. Later, settlers followed the Indians' example and began using echinacea for medicinal purposes as well. For a time, echinacea enjoyed official status as a result of being listed in the US National Formulary from 1916-1950. However, use of echinacea fell out of favor in the United States with the discovery of antibiotics and due to the lack of scientific evidence supporting its use. But now, people are becoming interested in echinacea again because some antibiotics don't work as well as they used to against certain bacteria.
Commercially available echinacea products come in many forms including tablets, juice, and tea.
There are concerns about the quality of some echinacea products on the market. Echinacea products are frequently mislabeled, and some may not even contain echinacea, despite label claims. Don't be fooled by the term "standardized." It doesn't necessarily indicate accurate labeling. Also, some echinacea products have been contaminated with selenium, arsenic, and lead.
How effective is it?
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database
rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.
The effectiveness ratings for
are as follows:
Possibly effective for...
Common cold
. Many scientific studies show that taking some echinacea products when cold symptoms are first noticed can modestly reduce symptoms of the common cold in adults. But other scientific studies show no benefit. The problem is that scientific studies have used different types of echinacea plants and different methods of preparation. Since the studies have not been consistent, it is not surprising that different studies show different results. If it helps for treating a cold, the benefit will likely be modest at best. It also isn't clear whether echinacea can help PREVENT colds. Any benefit is likely to be modest.
Vaginal yeast infections
. Taking echinacea and applying a medicated cream to the skin seems to lower the recurrence rate of infection to about 16% compared to 60.5% with econazole alone.
Possibly ineffective for...
Genital herpes (Herpes simplex virus, HSV)
. Taking a specific echinacea extract (Echinaforce by Bioforce AG) 800 mg twice daily for 6 months does not seem to prevent or reduce frequency or duration of recurrent genital herpes.
Insufficient evidence to rate effectiveness for...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Migraine headaches
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
Bee stings
Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Influenza (flu)
Other conditions
More evidence is needed to rate echinacea for these uses.
How does it work?
Return to top
Echinacea seems to activate chemicals in the body that decrease inflammation, which might reduce cold and flu symptoms.
Laboratory research suggests that echinacea can stimulate the body's immune system, but there is no evidence that this occurs in people.
Echinacea also seems to contain some chemicals that can attack yeast and other kinds of fungi directly.
Are there safety concerns?
Return to top
Echinacea is
for most people when used short-term. There is not enough information to know if echinacea is safe for long-term use. Some side effects have been reported such as fever, nausea, vomiting, unpleasant taste, stomach pain, diarrhea, sore throat, dry mouth, headache, numbness of the tongue, dizziness, insomnia, disorientation, and joint and muscle aches.
Echinacea is
in children. It seems to be safe in most children ages 2-11 years. However, about 7% of these children may experience a rash that could be due to an allergic reaction. There is some concern that allergic reactions to echinacea could be more severe in some children. For this reason, some regulatory organizations have recommended against giving echinacea to children under 12 years of age.
Echinacea is most likely to cause allergic reactions in children and adults who are allergic to ragweed, mums, marigolds, or daisies. If you have allergies, be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking echinacea.
Applying echinacea to the skin can cause redness, itchiness, or a rash.
Special precautions & warnings:
Pregnancy or breast-feeding
: Not enough is known about the use of echinacea during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
"Auto-immune disorders" such as such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a skin disorder called pemphigus vulgaris, or others
: Echinacea might have an effect on the immune system that could make these conditions worse. Don't take echinacea if you have an auto-immune disorder.
An inherited tendency toward allergies (atopy)
: People with this condition are more likely to develop an allergic reaction to echinacea. It's best to avoid exposure to echinacea if you have this condition.
Are there interactions with medications?
Return to top
Be cautious with this combination.
The body breaks down caffeine to get rid of it. Echinacea might decrease how quickly the body breaks down caffeine. Taking echinacea along with caffeine might cause too much caffeine in the bloodstream and increase the risk of side effects. Common side effects include jitteriness, headache, and fast heartbeat.
Medications changed by the body (Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrates)
Some medications are changed and broken down by the body. Echinacea might change how the body breaks down some medications. Taking echinacea along with some medications might increase the effects and side effects of some medications. Before taking echinacea, talk to your healthcare provider if you are taking any medications that are changed by the body.
Some medications changed by the body include lovastatin (Mevacor), clarithromycin (Biaxin), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), diltiazem (Cardizem), estrogens, indinavir (Crixivan), triazolam (Halcion), and many others.
Medications changed by the liver (Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) substrates)
Some medications are changed and broken down by the liver. Echinacea might decrease how quickly the liver breaks down some medications. Taking echinacea along with some medications might increase the effects and side effects of some medications. Before taking echinacea, talk to your healthcare provider if you are taking any medications that are changed by the liver.
Some of the medications that are changed by the liver include clozapine (Clozaril), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), fluvoxamine (Luvox), haloperidol (Haldol), imipramine (Tofranil), mexiletine (Mexitil), olanzapine (Zyprexa), pentazocine (Talwin), propranolol (Inderal), tacrine (Cognex), theophylline, zileuton (Zyflo), zolmitriptan (Zomig), and others
Medications that decrease the immune system (Immunosuppressants)
Echinacea can increase the activity of the immune system. Taking echinacea along with some medications that decrease the immune system might decrease these medications' effectiveness.
Some medications that decrease the immune system include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), corticosteroids (glucocorticoids), and others.
Be watchful with this combination.
Midazolam (Versed)
Taking midazolam (Versed) with echinacea increases how much midazolam (Versed) the body absorbs. This might increase the effects and side effects of midazolam (Versed), but more information is needed.

What dose is used?
Return to top
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
For treatment of upper respiratory infections including the common cold and influenza, a wide variety of doses have been used depending on how the echinacea is prepared. These preparations include:
A tablet containing 6.78 mg of Echinacea purpurea crude extract based on 95% herb and 5% root (Echinaforce, Bioforce AG): two tablets given 3 times daily.
Freeze-dried echinacea juice extract capsules: 100 mg three times daily.
Echinacea purpurea herb juice: a daily dose of 6-9 mL for up to a maximum of 8 weeks. Echinacea purpurea herb juice has also been used in a dose of 20 drops every 2 hours for the first day followed by 20 drops three times daily until cold or flu symptoms improve.
An echinacea pallida root tincture equivalent to 900 mg herb daily.
An echinacea herbal compound tea (Echinacea Plus, Traditional Medicinals), consisting of leaves, flowers, and stems of Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia plus dried extract of Echinacea purpurea root, has been used by drinking 5-6 cups of tea on the first day of symptoms and titrating down to 1 cup per day over the next 5 days. The tea is prepared by pouring 8 ounces of boiling water over one tea bag and steeping, covered, for 10-15 minutes.
Echinacea liquid (Echinagard): 20 drops every 2 hours for the first day of symptoms, then 3 times daily for up to 10 days.
A tablet containing 100 mg of a proprietary Echinacea angustifolia root extract (Monoselect Echinacea, PharmExtracta, Italy): 2 tablets daily for 15 days, then 1 tablet daily for 15 days, then 1 tablet every other day for 60 days to help prevent colds and the flu.
Echinacea purpurea liquid: 0.9 mL 3 times daily for 4 months to help prevent colds.

Celebrating National Poetry Month with Technology
April 10, 2012 | Mary Beth HertzPoetry is one of my favorite forms of writing. As I wrote in a recent blog post, there was a time when poetry was "my grounding force, my way of grappling with the world, questions, uncertainty, joy, sorrow, conundrums, beauty, ugliness and all forms of life that living could throw in my direction."
In 1996, April was named National Poetry Month by the Academy of American Poets to celebrate poetry across the country. If you are planning on incorporating National Poetry Month into your classroom or your school, here are a few of the many great ways to celebrate through the use of technology.
1) Scholastic's National Poetry Month Resources
- Online Poetry Publisher: have your poem published online to Scholastic's site.
- Poetry Idea Engine: an interactive way to learn about different poetry types and get ideas for building your own. Great for use for modeling on an Interactive Whiteboard before students start writing poetry on their own.
- Scholastic also offers different ways to bring poets into your classroom through podcasts, interviews and other activities.
2) Poets.org Listening Booth
Listen to hundreds of poems read by poets themselves. This is a great way to help model a variety of styles of poetry reading as well as how poets hear poems in their heads. Try having students read a poem out loud before they hear how the author reads it.
3) The National Poetry Map
Learn about poets who are from your state and learn about poetry events going on near you.
4) Poem Flow
Poem Flow is an app that lets you access poetry through mobile devices in your classroom.
5) A Poem in Your Pocket
Don't forget that Thursday, April 26th is Poem in Your Pocket Day! Use your mobile device to record a poem (with apps like iPhone's Voice Memos, iPhone Recorder, or Voice Recorder for Android) or use the Poem Flow app, and play a poem out loud from your mobile device (kept in your pocket!).
Here is my poem for National Poetry Month. It came to me while sitting in my small Philadelphia back "yard."
South Philadelphia Evening
The city is breathing.
It inhales with the hum of an airplane
and exhales with a child's laughter.
I close my eyes and breathe in unison with the distant sound of sirens, a barking dog, and a slamming door
Soft rhythms in the cool Spring air at dusk.

Experimental Poetry using the internet.
Charles Bernstein has a great page on using the internet to create or to deconstruct or change poems. http://www.writing.upenn.edu/bernstein/experiments.html This is probably better suited to older students, but many of these could be adapted for elementary students too.
Awesome! I love poetry slams
Awesome! I love poetry slams we taped on of our 6th graders last year, but it wasn't live. Love the idea!
Great post!
Thanks for the great post, Mary Beth!
Here's another idea -- we have a great video here on Edutopia where kids compete in poetry slams via video-conferencing. Check it out:
What a great resource, Traci!
