It was suggested for me after checking my trackman stats,I will find another after I learn to get more clubhead speed and less ball spin,but as of now better than what I had been using
drazilcallaway from Elk Grove, CA | 10/30/2014 4:29 PM
I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire X2 line up from irons to this driver. I am not a pro by any means and I am fairly new to the amazing sport of golf so I couldn't give you a detailed description of these clubs; all I could tell you with certainty is that I love hitting with them, they are a huge improvement to my cheap starter set, and my game has certainly seen major improvement. This isn't your 500 driver that all your friends drool over, but it works really well for me at a great price
Tim from Harrisburg, PA | 9/25/2014 7:51 AM
I increased my drive distance by 30 - 40 yards with the X2; however, having the correct club fitted for my style by Joe Abrahams was priceless including the swing tips that I received. Worth the 80 mile drive. Actually shot 5 less strokes on first outing.
rwmasters from Wyalusing, PA | 9/22/2014 7:35 PM
I am 45 and just started playing this year, had an x-hot pro 10.5* and it was not very forgiving, tended to slice even with club face set to closed. First time out with X2 Hot 10.5* face set to normal setup and I was hitting bombs dead straight some even had a draw. It is forgiving and the ball flies straight even when hit off the toe. Great club and would definitely recommend for the high handicapper looking to get straighter shots.
BigRich from Aurora, IL | 8/28/2014 8:24 AM
I immediately began hitting consistently longer and straighter drives off the tee in my fiirst outing with it. The only drawback compared to my previous driver is the cavity in the head design to accommodate adjustments tends to get dirt and grass lodged in it. This requires more frequent cleaning and a tool to dislodge the stuff. This may be a nuisance for people but I didn't mind. I was enjoying the improved drives so I figured it was an ok trade off

Many know how important it is to recycle but officials in one County are making sure everyone knows that not only is it good for the environment but it could actually save you money. Time Warner Cable News Reporter Michael Howard has the story on how officials are spreading the message.
DUTCHESS COUNTY, N.Y. -- If you ask Lindsay Carille if recycling is important, she'll give you plenty of reasons why.
As the deputy commissioner of Solid Waste Management in Dutchess County, it's one of her top priorities. As well as on the minds of many Dutchess County Legislatures, as they launched a ten year plan called, "Rethinking Waste" a year ago.
"After holding a public hearing and letting the public comment on it, we sent that to New York state DEC for their approval and they approved it in June of 2013," said Carille.
The more than 150 page plan aimed to increase the recycling rate within the county, which once stood at 23 percent.
"That's been our major push this year," said Carille, "to identify recycling going on in the county that we might not have known about before and also figure out how we can increase our recycling rate."
According to Carille, Dutchess County's recycling rate was 37 percent in 2012. Far exceeding their projections of 27 percent as she thanks that to single stream recycling. Or as everyone else knows it, throwing all your recyclables in one barrel.
"I think about every residential customer in Dutchess County that gets curbside pickup is now single stream recycling. Which has shown to increase recycling," said Carille.
For ReCommunity Beacon Plant Manager Dave Kahn, he's seen the recycling rate double. Since the plant opened in 2012. "We started out doing about 40,000 tons per year here one shift, which has now grown to 115,000 tons that we just processed last year," said Kahn.
Kahn says the plant processes 400 to 500 tons of recyclables a day, equaling 9,500 tons a month. Where most comes from Dutchess County. "It all starts with the consumer, the education process knowing what's recyclable, what's not is where it all starts," said Kahn.
As for the Waste Management plan, other plans are in the works that you could see later this year. Including the hiring of a recycling educator, to reach out to schools and larger commercial entities.
"Were really hoping with single stream recycling and promotion that we'll see progressive increases in recycling to the point where we don't have enough garbage to meet our minimum goals at the waste energy facility," said Carille.

21 November 2012
Despite having to contend with the heaviest rainfalls in years, the through lanes of the new highway between Federal and Traveston were opened on Wednesday 26 September.
The full Bruce Highway Upgrade (Cooroy to Curra) project involves a 61km upgrade and realignment of the highway and is one of Queensland's highest priority road projects. The upgrade has been divided into sections and the 12 km Section B was the first to be undertaken due to traffic and safety needs.
The works commenced in 2009 and once complete, will separate long distance from local traffic movements to allow the highway to function as a high-speed, high-volume corridor. The four-lane divided highway built to modern standards, has the ability to be upgraded to six lanes in future.
Abigroup has played an integral role in the upgrading of this section of Bruce Highway. From the beginning, Abigroup has been involved with the initial bulk earthworks after securing Contract 1 of the project. The works included moving over 5 million cubic metres of material, inclusive of 1 million cubic metres of blasted rock.
The final component, Contract 4, involves completing the local connections for the new Bruce Highway realignment at Skyring Creek in the south and at a new interchange at Traveston.
Contract 4 includes:
The progress of the project has been even more remarkable considering since the start of construction in 2009, the region has received 4.5 metres of rainfall and experienced three major floods.
The works during the extreme wet weather achieved outstanding results and Abigroup is seen as a leader in managing the risks associated with erosion and sediment control. The project was adjacent to sensitive receiving waters and has implemented innovative construction methodologies while working in a restricted construction footprint and developing exhaustive erosion and sediment control management strategies.
While motorists are pleased about the safer, smoother and more efficient driving experience on the new Bruce Highway, Abigroup employees and subcontractors are still working on the final touches to off-ramps, bridges, the Traveston Road realignment and the completion of the new Mary Valley Link Road.

Skin problems health centre
You can get malathion lotion on prescription or buy it over the counter. But it's best to see your doctor or nurse to check that the problem is scabies before starting treatment. The brand names for malathion lotion are
Malathion tends to be the second choice of treatment for scabies, after permethrin. It can be used for people who can't use permethrin, or if permethrin hasn't worked. [16]
You need to cover your whole body, including your neck, face, scalp, and ears with the lotion. [16] You keep it on for 24 hours and then wash it off. During those 24 hours, if you wash any part of your body with soap, such as your hands, you need to treat that area again with malathion. You need to repeat the process after seven days.
There hasn't been any really good research on malathion as a treatment for scabies. But some lower-quality studies found that it got rid of scabies for up to 8 in 10 people within four weeks of treatment. [18]
The main side effect for malathion is a burning feeling on your skin. [16]

Plot SummaryEdit
Yashiro Isana has lived a relatively ordinary, simple life. He lives in the technology-advanced Shizume City and attends Ashinaka High School, a notable high school that is located on an island just outside the areas. Yashiro is friendly with everyone. Nothing ever seems wrong about him, except perhaps his habit of forgetting where his school's PDA is.
However, nothing normal has been happening since the recent murder of Tatara Totsuka, prominent member of the infamous HOMRA. No one knows who exactly killed him but the man responsible bears an uncanny, identical appearance to Yashiro. Seeking vengeance, the Red Clansmen of HOMRA set out to get Yashiro and kill him.
Everyone suspects that Yashiro is the murderer. But whether the guilt is his or not is unclear.

- He is a 17 year-old student at Ashinaka High School, nicknamed Shiro. Yashiro is a regular high school student coming from a regular family. He is accused of being the "evil" Colorless King responsible for murdering Homra Clansmen Tatara Totsuka, and thus, his life is now on the line. In the midst of his struggle for survival, Yashiro learns more about the idea of Clans, Clansmen, and Kings.
- Kuroh Yatogami
- He is the 18-year-old vassal of the former 7th King, Ichigen Miwa. Kuroh's goal is to fulfill his deceased master's final wish: kill the "evil" King said to be the next Colorless King, otherwise known as his successor. With the events of Tatara Totsuka's death, Kuroh accuses Yashiro of being the "evil" King, and aspires to kill him. Kuroh is a skilled swordsman and additionally possesses an unknown ability, which allows him to manifest a physical hand extension from his own.
- Neko
- A mysterious, 15-year-old girl with the ability to transform from a human girl into a small kitten. Neko is childish, energetic and optimistic. She has a deep affection for Yashiro Isana and claims to be his cat, adding that they've been inseparable since the moment they first met. In addition to her transformation powers, Neko can create various illusions using the bells she uses as accessories.

The Red King is Mikoto Suoh, leader of the infamous Clan HOMRA. Anyone able to pass his Clan's "test" is able to join HOMRA. Nevertheless, their members are as close as blood kin. None of them are left alone. And none of them are harmed without their attackers being dealt with the same consequences.

UNITED STATES -- We're just about three full months into 2012, and gas prices have gone up 19 percent in that time. AAA reports the national average for a gallon of gas is up to $3.93 on Friday.
That's less than 20 cents away from the all-time highest average ever. That was $4.11 in July of 2008. New York state is much closer that with an average of $4.08 on Friday. Gas is just a few cents cheaper in the Capital Region at $4.03.

Knoxville (WVLT) -- When the Lady Vols tip off Monday night against the Rugters Scarlet Knights, they may be seeing red, but they will be thinking pink.
The game is part of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's 2008 Think Pink Campaign aimed at raising breast cancer awareness.
We're covering East Tennessee health, with more on how raising awareness can bring researchers closer to finding a cure.
Head coach Pat Summitt is celebrating 968 wins during her 34th season with the Lady Vols.
But it's the 211,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year that will take center court.
"That will be really fun to see, all the pink in the stands, it really will be!"
Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center Dr. Kamilia Kozlowski has spent her career diagnosing and treating women with breast cancer.
She says events like think pink, not only raise awareness and money for breast cancer research, they remind women of the importance of yearly mammograms.
"Something can happen between one year and the next year and you've got to always stay on top of it, you can never become complacent. Because our chances of breast cancer keep going up as we get older, it doesn't go down."
Lady Vol fans are being asked to wear pink to promote breast cancer awareness during tonight's nationally televised game against Rutgers.
Doctor Kozlowski says making more people aware, may lead more to contribute to breast cancer research and bring scientists closer to finding a cure.
"Sometimes, we tend to get complacent, knowing that you know, everything's been fine, I don't need to have another mammogram. Ha-ah, you can't skip."
As part of tonight's event, UT is offering the opportunity for two breast cancer survivors to serve as guest coaches with the lady vols.
Aiming to raise breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond.
In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for the Think Pink effort during its inaugural year.
The Women's Basketball Coaches Association's Think Pink week for 2008 began Friday and runs through the 17th.

Girl from Berlin
Marlene Dietrich's ABC
Marlène D.
Sublime Marlene
Marlene Dietrich: Portraits 19261960
Marlene Dietrich is generally agreed to have been eighty-four last December, old enough to be fond of old jokes. One of her favorites is a macabre conceit of her own called the deathbed Oscar. It is for old movie actors who have never won an award. If they suddenly find one being presented to them, they should conclude that death is not far off. A whiff of deathbed Oscar hangs around the recent spate of books about Dietrich herself. A biography by Dietrich's daughter Maria Riva is said to be ready for publication as soon as her mother dies. Naturally, it is expected to be full of revelations about a private life almost as carefully protected as Garbo's.
Marlene Dietrich's ABC first appeared in 1961. It is a collection of banal, worldly-wise aphorisms interspersed with sturdy recipes for beef tea and goulash. The autobiography Marlène D. is something of a mystery, but only a publishing one. It is described as "traduit de l'américain par Boris Mattews" (sic). There has never been an American edition, but there was a German one in 1979 called Nehmt nur mein Leben. The text is a confused affair, omitting some periods of Dietrich's life altogether, and establishing the sanctioned but obfuscating version of her origins and early life.
Navacelle's text in Sublime Marlene is what one expects a film star biography to be. The photographs are the thing; they come from John Kobal's collection and are mostly Hollywood stills. In Portraits 1926–1960, on the other hand, the photographs are all studio portraits. Most of the chosen photographers are—or were—specialists in glamour (Cecil Beaton, Don English, Hoyningen-Huene, Parkinson, Richee, Steichen, and so on); so glamour is the aspect of Dietrich they emphasize. But each also gets across some of her over- and undertones: her loucheness, irony, sexual ambiguity, camaraderie, detachment, and even her quality of being a survivor par excellence, which has made her an icon to fans of nostalgia, "a thorn," in Benny Green's words, "in the side of time." Kenneth Tynan said she makes you feel that "whatever hell you inhabit, she has been there before and survived." Only Cecil Beaton in 1935 missed Dietrich's point altogether and snapped a pretty hat on a mindless, chic gazelle.
Portraits has an introduction by Klaus-Jürgen Sembach, the director for the Zentrum für Industriekultur in Nuremberg. With German eagerness for making intellectual connections he links the Sternberg/Dietrich movies with the "International Style" of the 1930s, "a style of high precision, rationality, and, for all of that, sensuous effects…. The severe and at the same time voluptuous shimmer of Josef von Sternberg's films demonstrated a great affinity with this movement." You see at once what he means: gleaming Dietrich, the goddess of the chromium curve, Our Lady of the Hispano Suiza. Sembach continues: "At the same time, these films also revealed the risk inherent in this style of becoming too hermetic and remote. This outspoken aesthetic possessed immensely narcissistic traits." More than twenty years ago, Susan Sontag in her famous "Notes on Camp" cited as an example of what she meant by the term "the outrageous aestheticism of Sternberg's six American movies with Dietrich."
Everyone, including Dietrich herself, agrees that her Sternberg period was her greatest. In his films her toughness and sexual provocation were not so much veiled as enhanced and counterpointed by something protective, caressing, resigned, and even sad in her gestures and intonations, something dreamy and mysterious in her appearance (the result of virtuoso camera work). This is true even in The Blue Angel where she plays a cheap and callous little tart.
Sternberg was born in Austria, grew up poor in America, and had worked for several years in Hollywood when UFA brought him to Berlin in 1929 to direct The Blue Angel in two simultaneous versions, English and German. He discovered Dietrich when he was looking for a girl to play opposite the star, Emil Jannings. In Marlène D. the chapter on Sternberg is called "Toi Svengali—Moi Trilby." Sternberg's chapter on Dietrich from his sardonic autobiography Fun in a Chinese Laundry is reprinted in Portraits. His account of how he found her or rather of what he found, differs somewhat from hers. Her story is blurry but implies that she was a slip of a beginner, straight out of Max Reinhardt's prestigious drama school (which she probably never attended) His version is likely to be nearer the truth: Far from being a debutante, she was in her late twenties, with a husband and child, had made nine films and a number of records, as well as appearing in reviews, musicals, and straight plays.
The records show her in full command of the husky, suggestive, intersexual style of the Berlin nightclubs in the Twenties, with its mockingly syncopated inflections and teasingly drawn-out bi- and trisyllabic vowels. She was not the first or only growler, but she was surely one of the best. Sternberg did not discover her sound, which to many of her fans means more than her overexposed legs. They know by heart every sexy sigh in "Johnny" and "Peter." Hemingway said "she could break hearts simply with her voice." In fact she maintains that Sternberg made her raise her register to a common squeak for the character of Lola-Lola. What he discovered was her personality, and even that, he admitted, she already had: he merely taught her what to do with it.
He spotted her in a highbrow musical: "There was an impressive poise about her (not natural, as it turned out, for she was an exuberant bubbler when not restrained) that made me certain that she would lend a classic stature to the turmoil the woman of my film would have to create. Here was not only a model…designed by Rops, but Toulouse-Lautrec would have turned a couple of handsprings had he laid eyes on her." Sternberg summoned Dietrich for a test. Her attitude, when she turned up, was take me or leave me; she had not even bothered to bring the music for the song she was supposed to sing. Nevertheless, he took her. Had he managed to guess how inconceivably obedient, hardworking, and patient she would turn out to be in the studio? Whatever their relationship (and no one seems to know exactly what that was) it was intense. Alexander Walker quotes Sternberg saying to Peter Bogdanovich: "I am Miss Dietrich—Miss Dietrich is me." And she agreed it was true. Anyway, she was perfect for the perfectionist tyrant.
Walker's book contains a large number of photographs of Dietrich before Sternberg set eyes on her, and they make one respect those eyes even more. She looks sexy—but also dumpy, with no neck, no waist, a pudgy face, and mousy hair. Walker's photographs are extremely well chosen. He has worked hard to establish facts, and his text is perceptive and decently written. His special insight—and he makes it the theme of his book—is that Dietrich's personality and career are rooted in being a Prussian officer's daughter brought up to obey, endure, and never show her feelings. This is an idea she too promotes about herself.
It is true that her father, Louis Dietrich, fought in the Franco-Prussian war as an officer in a crack regiment. But by the time his daughter was born thirty years later he was an officer in the police—quite a way down the social ladder. Walker suggests Major Dietrich had to resign his commission because he married into trade—his wife was the daughter of a well-established Berlin jeweler. But it seems just as likely that he was never a professional soldier at all, but only a reservist. He died when Dietrich was ten. Her mother then married Eduard von Losch, who certainly was an officer and whose name sounds aristocratic. He died in 1917. His stepdaughter can't have seen much of him; in her autobiography she describes quite vividly the completely female environment in which she grew up because all the men were at the front. She also harps on the Prussian discipline imposed by her mother (whom she adored) and claims that it prepared her for being docile and long-suffering on the set.
Walker rides his hobbyhorse hard, reading "military undertones" into all the characters she created with Sternberg, beginning with Amy Jolly in Morocco, who follows her Foreign Legionnaire into the desert and "has to 'join up,' become one of the 'legion of lost women.'… She answers the regiment's call, passing up the life of civilian leisure and comfort…." One hopes that Walker noticed the London Times's list of birthdays for December 27 where (wrongly dated 1904) Dietrich appears flanked by Air Vice Marshall Sir Derek Hodgkinson and Brigadier Dame Mary Tyrwhitt.
Still, what distinguishes Dietrich from other sex symbols is her comradely, if not necessarily soldierly, rapport with men. She is not simply their opposite, whether endearingly like Monroe or dangerously like Bardot or Raquel Welch; she is both their opposite and one of them, one of the boys, whether in the officers' mess (Dishonored) or the back room. No wonder she attaches great importance to her entertainment tours behind the battle fronts in World War II. She was one of the boys then, and a colonel to boot.
The German song "Lili Marlene" with its fortuitous echo of her name became her biggest number. It's a song about a girl, sung by a man—a dead soldier. When she sings it—and when she sings "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"—her sense of the waste of war seems to be a man's. She is not a mother/sweetheart figure, but one of those about to die or already dead. Strange though this may seem, it is not unique; in Germany Lale Andersen made her name with "Drei rote Rosen gabe sie mir" ("she gave me three red roses"), sung by a soldier on his way to die at the front.
The mocking lesbian overtones in Dietrich's performances are something else again. She said she copied her famous top hat and tails from the English music hall star Vesta Tilley, whose heyday was between the last years of the nineteenth century and the First World War. Still, one can't imagine Tilley fondling a chorus girl as she runs on stage, or kissing a lady hard on the lips, as Dietrich does in Morocco.
Every one of the books under review is an attempt in one way or another to get at the truth behind the Dietrich legend—a carelessly thrown together document with missing pages and others doubtfully authentic. By far the most original undertaking is the disturbing documentary film Marlene (not yet released in the US) made by the Austrian-Swiss actor-director Maximilian Schell. He thought he could get Dietrich to reveal the truth, but all he got in answer to a direct question was: The truth about me—long pause—is that everything you read about me is untrue.

RailCats fall to Canaries in return home
By Michael Osipoff email@example.com or 713-2485 June 7, 2013 11:02PM
RailCats base runner Danny Pulfer (right) beats the tag at second base from Sioux Falls shortstop Cory Morales during the bottom of the fifth inning at the Steel Yard in Gary, Ind., Friday, June 7, 2013. | Guy Rhodes~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: July 9, 2013 6:18AM
GARY — That the RailCats hung around, even forged a lead in the middle innings, in Friday night's game against Sioux Falls seemed improbable, given some of the numbers and situations.
In their 8-3 loss at the Steel Yard, they surrendered 19 hits, collecting five. They committed consecutive errors that set the stage for two unearned runs. They made at least one baserunning mistake.
In general, they were not sharp.
"That's not what I expected being back home," said RailCats manager Greg Tagert, whose team went 3-3 on a road trip to Texas that concluded on Wednesday. "Overall, disappointing performance.
"Give Sioux Falls credit. Coming back home on a Friday night after a long road trip, you would think that we'd be the team with the energy. But it was not there."
Sioux Falls (9-13) knocked out starter Will Krout (51/3 innings, five runs — three earned — on 14 hits) with three runs in the sixth, grabbing a 5-3 lead. After Tim Pahuta led off the inning with a homer to tie the score — Pahuta's sixth homer of the week, as he went 4-for-5 on Friday — the Canaries strung together four straight hits, capped by Jake Taylor's two-run single.
The RailCats (11-9) had taken a short-lived 3-2 lead in the fifth, with Cristian Guerrero snapping the tie with a homer — the RailCats' first at home this season, with Guerrero also hitting their only other long ball, on May 25 at Kansas City. They had scored their first run of the inning without a hit, as Danny Pulfer walked to lead off, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and came across on Mike Massaro's groundout.
"Momentum changes very quickly in baseball, but you could not have had more momentum than we had and we did not shut it down in the sixth," Tagert said.
Adam Champion, who entered Friday with a 1-1 record and a 7.25 ERA in four starts, picked up the win for Sioux Falls. In five innings, he allowed the three runs, on two hits but six walks.
The Canaries had taken a 2-0 lead in the third on a pair of unearned runs. Brian Kolb and Adam Klein committed back-to-back errors, before a groundout and Jared Clark's single.
The RailCats got on the board in the fourth when Drew Martinez walked with the bases loaded, after Craig Maddox and Steve Liddle also had walked, and Kolb singled.
Injury update: The RailCats were expected to place starting pitcher Stephen Hiscock on the inactive list with biceps tendinitis, meaning the right-hander would be out a minimum of 30 days. He already has missed his last two starts, with Morgan Coombs expected to continue to take that spot in the rotation. Also, lefty reliever Estevan Uriegas, who has been on the disabled list since May 25 with elbow/forearm inflammation, was expected to be sidelined for at least another week.
With only nine pitchers available, the RailCats were planning to officially sign lefty James Adkins — likely in time for Saturday's game — who arrived less than two hours before Friday's game after driving from Dallas. Adkins, who was released by Grand Prairie after going 1-1 with a 6.43 ERA in three starts, spent four seasons in the Dodgers organization, reaching Triple-A Albuquerque in 2010, and one season with the Reds' Double-A affiliate at Carolina. He will work out of the bullpen for the RailCats.
Among position players, catcher Ryan Babineau was likely to miss this entire six-game homestand, with the hope that he would be able to return for the team's six-game road trip to Fargo-Moorhead and Wichita. He has been on the DL with a groin injury, missing all six games on the just-completed road trip to Texas. Also, shortstop Zac Mitchell didn't start for the fourth straight game (he did pinch-hit in the ninth inning on Friday), having missed the three-game series at Amarillo, after absorbing a grounder to his right ring finger. Usual second baseman Chase Tucker again started at short on Friday, with Pulfer at second.
Around the bases: The RailCats went 6-7 against Sioux Falls last season, going 5-1 at home and 1-6 on the road. … Massaro on Wednesday became the franchise leader in total bases, passing Tanner Townsend. … Massaro has reached base in all 20 games this season, though his hit streak ended at 15 games on Friday. … The RailCats entered Friday leading the league in walks (88) and runners left on base (156). Last season, they set league records for walks (438) and runners left on base (800). … Alain Quijano (3-1, 4.88 ERA) was scheduled to start for the RailCats on Saturday night, against Sioux Falls right-hander Kyle Ruwe (2-2, 3.00).

Our Home Groups/Small Groups are based primarily upon Acts 2:42-47 from which we see true Christian community in that they were 'devoted to the apostles' teaching, the fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer…they were together and had all things in common, meeting each others' needs…praising God together and the Lord was adding to their numbers daily those who were being saved.'
Our Home Groups/Small Groups meet regularly in homes where they have dinner together, spend time in prayer together, and dive into God's Holy Word together by taking a look back and discussing what was preached the Sunday before and then looking at the text that will be preached the next Sunday.
Men's Group
New Hill's Men's Group meets the first Saturday of each month at Chick-Fil-A on Patteson Drive, Morgantown, WV. The purpose is to bring men of all ages together in order to grow and be molded more and more into the men God created us to be through eating together, praying together and reading and studying God's Word together.
Women's Group
New Hill's Women's Group meets the second Saturday of each month at Chick-Fil-A on Patteson Drive, Morgantown, WV. The purpose, through eating together, praying together, studying God's Word together and just simply sharing their lives with each other is to live out Titus 2 where 'Older women are to teach what is good, and so train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.'

Significant differences when using creatinine, modification of diet in renal disease, or cystatin C for estimating glomerular filtration rate in ICU patients.
Summary of "Significant differences when using creatinine, modification of diet in renal disease, or cystatin C for estimating glomerular filtration rate in ICU patients."
Abstract Background. Renal dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in intensive care patients. In most cases the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated based on serum creatinine and the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula, but cystatin C-estimated GFR is being used increasingly. The aim of this study was to compare creatinine and MDRD and cystatin C-estimated GFR in intensive care patients. Methods. Retrospective observational study was performed, on patients treated within the general intensive care unit (ICU) during 2004-2006, in a Swedish university hospital. Results. GFR markers are frequently ordered in the ICU; 92% of the patient test results had cystatin C-estimated GFR (eGFR(cystatinC)) ≤ 80 mL/min/1.73 m(2), 75% had eGFR ≤ 50 mL/min/1.73 m(2), and 30% had eGFR ≤ 20 mL/min/1.73 m(2). In contrast, only 46% of the patients had reduced renal function assessed by plasma creatinine alone, and only 47% had eGFR(MDRD) ≤ 80 mL/min/1.73 m(2). The mean difference between eGFR(MDRD) and eGFR(cystatinC) was 39 mL/min/1.73 m(2) for eGFR(cystatinC) values ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2). Conclusions. GFR is commonly assessed in the ICU. Cystatin C-estimated GFR yields markedly lower GFR results than plasma creatinine and eGFR(MDRD). Many pharmaceuticals are eliminated by the kidney, and their dosage is adjusted for kidney function. Thus, the differences in GFR estimates by the methods used indicate that the GFR method used in the intensive care unit may influence the treatment.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Diet, Protein-restricted
A diet that contains limited amounts of protein. It is prescribed in some cases to slow the progression of renal failure. (From Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)
A clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. It is usually the result of RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen CATABOLISM, such as UREA or CREATININE. Severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms.
Diet, Carbohydrate-restricted
A diet that contains limited amounts of CARBOHYDRATES. This is in distinction to a regular DIET.
Regular course of eating and drinking adopted by a person or animal. This does not include DIET THERAPY, a specific diet prescribed in the treatment of a disease.
Activities related to WEIGHT REDUCTION in patients with OBESITY. Treatment methods include DIET; EXERCISE; BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION; medications; and BARIATRIC SURGERY.
