The natural cure for all types of hernia. Each pack is 14 days treatment. Average treatment is 4 - 6 weeks. All existing pain and discomfort will disappear after about 2-3 weeks as healing begins. Bulge and swelling will gradually reduce. The poultice heals hernia by a process known as "cell proliferation" which is the generation of new muscle tissues by the active ingredient "Allantoin" a natural substance in the poultice. Instruction for treating a bulging hernia: You should lay on your back and push the bulge back in place before putting on the hernia poultice. After approximately 2-4 weeks of treatment the bulge will become tight and more difficult to push back in place. This is because the muscles and tissue are being rebuilt. After another two weeks of treatment the bulge will stay in place longer and come out less and less until it stays in permanently. Keep treating for a week after it stays in place. Use a hernia belt sometimes call a hernia truss to keep poultice in place at night. Wear the hernia belt/truss during the day without the poultice to keep the bulge in place.

Natural Organic Comfrey Hernia Poultice For All Types of Hernias. For relief from Inguinal hernias which have extended into the scrotal sac, we recommend using the product "HernEase" along with the poultice. HernEase can be purchased from Amazon.com
The fear that most people have when dealing with a hernia is that of surgery. Statistics have proven that 20% of all recipients of implanted mesh, which is used in hernia surgery, will develop an allergic response to the mesh. In other word, their body will reject the mesh because it's a foreign substance. Then there is another 30% that will need a second surgery to correct the first surgery. Then there are those who cannot do another surgery because of the scar tissues from previous surgeries. Not to mention the cost of surgery especially if you don't have any health insurance.
Our poultice is designed with the correct ratio of ingredients for maximum benefit in treating all types of hernia. We have over 30 years experience in Natural healing using comfrey hernia poultice for hernias. The success rate is approximately 98%. That's better than any other method in existence. It is the best natural hernia treatment on the market.
We get a lot of questions regarding the effect of comfrey on the liver. We would like to make it plain that we employ a method of processing the comfrey using lugol's iodine which blocks the alkaloid but allows the allantoin in comfrey to transdermally enter the tissues which stimulates the healing through cell proliferation.
The bulge that you see is just the tip of the iceberg. There is underlying damage that you can't see. This damage must be corrected before the bulge begins to recede. More damage takes longer to correct. It takes a minimum of one half of each strip per treatment each night. Less than a half of one strip is not enough nutrient to get the job done within the average treatment time of 4-6 weeks. There are no short cuts, it's a gradual consistent application of the poultice each night that brings benefits.
The question we get all the time is, if this works how comes I have not heard about it before. The answer to that question is this, we have been doing this in our natural health practice for almost 30 years bringing benefit to our local patients and recently started marketing our most effective products on the internet. If our products didn't work as expected we would have been out of business a long time ago. Business gets better every year as more and more people experience using our products. This is a testimony to the effectiveness of what we bring to the market in natural remedies.
Please call us at 410-466-2558 if you have further questions.
Comfrey can be used externally based on FDA regulations.
What is a hernia?
A hernia is a bulge of intestine, another organ, or fat through the muscles of the belly. A hernia can occur when there is weakness in the muscle wall that allows part of an internal organ to push through.
You may have a hernia if you can feel a soft lump in your belly or groin or in a scar where you had surgery in the past. The lump may go away when you press on it or lie down. It may be painful, especially when you cough, bend over, or lift something heavy.
Our natural hernia cure using the poultice is designed specifically to treats all types of the following hernias:
An inguinal hernia (pronounced "IN-gwuh-nul HER-nee-uh") occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the groin muscle. Our poultice is an inguinal hernia treatment without surgery.
A femoral hernia (pronounced "FEH-muh-rull HER-nee-uh") occurs when tissue bulges from the lower belly into the upper thigh, just below the groin crease. Femoral hernias occur more often in women than in men.
An umbilical hernia occurs when intestine, fat, or fluid pushes through a weak spot in the belly. This causes a bulge near the belly button, or navel.
An epigastric hernia (pronounced "eh-pih-GAS-trik HER-nee-uh") occurs when fat pushes through a weak part of the belly wall. It occurs in the middle of the belly between the breastbone and the belly button, or navel. Most of the time, these hernias are small. You can have more than one at a time.
A hiatal hernia (pronounced "hi-AY-tul HER-nee-uh") is different from other types of hernias, because it involves the stomach instead of the intestine. It occurs when part of your stomach bulges up through your diaphragm and into your chest. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle that separates your belly from your chest. You can't feel a hiatal hernia or see a bulge.
Incisional hernias are often the largest and most challenging hernia. Incisional hernias are hernias that result from weakness in the abdominal wall created by previous surgery. These tend to be large complicated hernias with scar tissues.
Our herbal poultices are freshly made using our proprietary method of manufacturing the poultice from organic plant based materials. The results are remarkable as the substances begin to do its work. The damaged tissues are replaced with new growth and the pain and inflammation slowly subside. Minor damage are corrected quickly, while more severe injury and damage takes a few weeks. The poultice is really a hernia treatment and cure without surgery.
Comfrey root powder, colloidal silver (Anti-Bacterial), distilled water, pine bark powder (powerful anti-oxidant) and vegetable glycerin (hypo-allergenic).
Approximately 9 inches long by 3 inches wide and 1/16th of an inch thick.
Easy to apply. Just peel plastic from one side of the poultice and apply the exposed side of the poultice to the hernia. Tape or preferably use a hernia belt to hold securely in place while you sleep. Remove in the morning. Repeat same process each night until the hernia is healed.
You should stop doing any form of lifting or exercising the abdominal muscles while using the poultice to treat the hernia.
Each pack comes with 7 strips 9 by 3 inches long and approximately 1/16 of an inch thick. A total of 14 days treatment. Each strip is cut in two pieces.

Purchased one about a month ago, mornings when I wake up after application eliminates all pain and inflammation. Overall my hernia is healing very well. I think my hernia was more extreme, but I am extremely happy with this product looking forward to writing you all an awesome review when I a fully healed! Especially as this type of injury seems to have little to no alternative methods short of surgery. I am purchasing a second because I absolutely confident a second application will get me 100%, and would not feel as certain without it. I am about 75% healed. Especially as this type of injury seems to have little to no alternative methods short of surgery. In that case you all are guardian angels to many. Thank you very much, warmest regards, Ian 26 - Williamsburg VA,
Greetings to you and I hope you had a good Labor Day holiday, I am writing this letter just to say THANK YOU very much for the Poultice, it really heal my hernia in the back because I was suffering for years and I tried many things even spiritual healing but to no avail, except surgery which I did not want to do on my back, and now I am feeling fine with no pain, however do you have anything for Tinnitus? Once again thank you very much.
Good morning. I would like to thank you for your help. I had a hernia that started from my groin and extended into my upper thigh. I started using your poultice and didn't see any change the first week. This is when I called you. Your instructions to continue was followed and the other week brought much relief from the pain and a reduction in the size of the bulging. Today after four weeks the hernia is gone. Thanks so much. May God bless you and your business.
Good day. I would like to thank you so much for your help. I've been suffering for a few months with a bad abdominal hernia. I tried everything but without success until I came across you in the Bing search engine. Thanks for advertising or I would never have found you.
I put the poultice on for two weeks every night and wore it for 12 hours each time. I didn't use any tape to hold it in place. I peeled the poultice, applied it and covered it with a piece of seran plastic to protect my clothe. I kept it in place with my under wear. I receive benefit from the first application. In 3 days the pain was gone and the hernia began to reduce in size.
I was contemplating surgery but thank God for you. I wish you all the best. Keep up the good work.
I was diagnosed with inguinal hernia by my doctor. There was a little bulge but no pain. I was concerned because the doctor said surgery would correct it. I just didn't want to go through a surgery so I went on the internet and googled "natural cure for hernia". Browse a few of the results but was more impressed to try the poultice for hernia. I was blessed because I noticed a reduction in the bulge within a week after using the poultice. After three weeks the hernia was totally gone. I guess because it was in the early stage it was easy to cure.
I am very pleased. No surgery and I am back to normal. Thanks a lot. I will pass on your information to friends and family.
I have a hiatal hernia. Will the poultice heal it?
Hiatal hernias will heal. However, it takes more time because the hernia is located between the chest and the abdominal cavity.
I have been using the poultice for three weeks now and the groin pain is gone but the bulge is still there. It's reduced a little but still there. What should I do?
Keep applying the poultice to reduce the bulge while it regenerates the damaged tissues.
How long will it take to heal my hernia?
Each individual is different. On an average it takes 4-6 weeks. The healing time depends on the damage to the underlying tissue. We find that for patients older than 40 the process is longer than average.
Can I wear a hernia belt to keep the poultice in place?
Yes you can. Based on experience we find that a flat hernia belt is very effective in holding the poultice in place. T
Should I still do intense workout while using the poultice?
It is recommended that you take a break while using the poultice. If you must, then do light exercise such as walking.
Can an incisional hernia be healed with the herbal hernia poultice?
Incisional or ventral hernia is created when a previous surgery weakens the abdominal wall. An incisional or ventral hernia can be healed with the poultice. However, because they are usually much larger, the full length of the poultice must be used. In this case each pack of poultice will last 7 days instead of 14 days. In other words, it's more costly because you will need to purchase twice as much poultice.
How long will the poultice last if I don't use it right away?
The poultice must be frozen (In the FREEZER) as soon as you receive it. Take out one piece each night and let it thaw at room temperature for about an hour before applying it to the hernia. It will last up to three months frozen.
Can I take anything internally to help with the healing process?
Solomon Seal Root and Hernease is know to significantly strengthen the muscular structure of the body when taken internally as a tea. The dose is one teaspoon of solomon seal root in a cup of boiling water. Let it stand for 20 minutes before drinking. These can be found on Amazon.com
Do you recommend surgery at any time?
I would not recommend surgery unless there is a severe case of a strangulated hernia. This is where the intestine is trapped in the hernia and the blood supply cut off.
Bear in mind that the number one problem with mesh (used to repair the hernia) is that many patients will react to the mesh as if they were allergic to it. Their body tries to reject the mesh and builds up excessive scar tissue around it. This excessive scar tissue results in the patient having chronic pain. When this happens there is no effective treatment for it and the patient will live with chronic pain for the rest of their lives. Medications, injections, physical therapy and neurolysis are ineffective in getting rid of the pain. The only effective treatment is to go back to surgery and remove the mesh. Current medical literature says that as many as 20% of patients with hernia mesh develop chronic pain.
The purpose of repairing a hernia naturally with the hernia poultice is to avoid these serious complications. Correcting the hernia naturally before it gets strangulated is the best and safest.
Couldn't I just buy the powder and mix it myself and get the same results?
We find that the product works best with the ingredients we use. The ratio of the ingredients is proprietory information which has been developed by us over the many years of making poultice. Once a batch is mixed we test it for quality before making poultice from it. If its not right we throw it out and start over again. Anyone who had worked with raw comfrey will know that once the batch is mixed it cannot be adjusted by adding more powder or liquids. Just the nature of comfrey.
Our poultice is unique in that you get the raw product which is placed against the hernia, not a salve which is much weaker.
Some of our customers have tried making it themselves and after trying a few times they will call us and place an order instead.
Does the poultice work on any other part of the body? For example the joints.
The poultice will heal anywhere it is placed. The time period for rebuilding bones and ligament is longer than muscles and soft tissues.
Can I cut the strip in thirds if the hernia is small?
The strips are designed to work best if cut in a half. There is enough active natural ingredient in one half of a strip but not enough in one third.
I had my friend who is traveling to my country purchase the herbal poultice for me. Are there any instruction for preparing the package for transportation.
Once the poultice is received it must be frozen until the day that it is transported. If it isn't frozen the poultice will break down and spoil. If it is not frozen it becomes perishable in a few days.
Does using comfrey externally damages the liver?
We have used comfrey poultices externally for over 30 years with no incident where it has caused liver damage. Using comfrey internally is where the FDA's cautions or concerns applies.
Plus there isn't enough comfrey in each poultice to create a problem. The active ingredient in comfrey is more easily absorbed by the body than the alkaloids which may create a toxic effect if taken in large quantity. This applies to all herbs and even pharmaceuticals. The effective dosage is of major importance.
Can I work while using the poultice?
Heavy lifting, pushing or pulling interferes with the healing process. We recommend that you don't do any activities that may create a strain on the abdominal muscles. Light walking is ok.
What is included in the shipping/handling cost?
Priority shipping fee, handling charge, insulation charge (the package is wrapped in insulation material before shipping).
Where was the concept of using a poultice for healing first mentioned?
It was mention in the bible when God told King Hezekiah to use a poultice of figs to heal his sickness. He was sick unto death and the poultice healed him. The biblical reference is 2 Kings Chapter 20 (New International Version)
Also in 3 John 1:2 where it is made plain that the Lord wishes wish is that we be in good health.
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
Canada Customers: You can save on shipping if you ship to an address in the USA that is close to the Canadian border. Then pick up the package at that address. Most of our Canadian customers will ship to an address in New York.

Original and Ultimate Communities
I am a pack rat; I save all kinds of stuff. But moving four times in two years has cheapened the growing tons of archival printed matter I began putting in boxes and storing away in my twenties. So lately I've been yielding to the urge to purge my life of crap.
In my latest purge I emptied 40 boxes; about half of them were filled with books going back to college days. Want a manual for QuickBooks 1.0? Netware 2.0? How about ones that compare WangNet, DECnet and OmniNet? All of those went into recycling, along with about half a ton of paper in loose-leaf binders.
But I kept one binder. It was full of printouts from on-line discussions. Some were from the Compuserve Broadcast Professionals Forum (BPF), and some were from a forum called The Buzz, which was run by my old friend, Denise Caruso, on AOL. The Buzz and Denise were the only reasons I had AOL.
Both The BPF and the Buzz were communities in the deepest sense that word can apply to a virtual space. The BPF was where disc jockeys, engineers, program directors and music obsessives would get together to ask and answer tough questions, help each other find better jobs and comment wisely on the gradual decline of a business they all loved, however corporatized and heartless it was becoming. The Buzz was a mix of techie and intellectual types that hit its peak during the Gulf War.
The BPF was a collateral casualty of Compuserve's gradual suicide, completed by its sale to AOL. The Buzz died faster than the BPF, mostly because nobody could stand staying on AOL. Both, however, were doomed by the same design flaw: everything posted scrolled to oblivion.
The main business model for both AOL and Compuserve back then was metered use. Compuserve also charged customers to download files. No value at all was placed on archiving what people said; that was up to the users. That was why I printed out so many of those old postings.
The Net and the Web are natural and liberating environments for communities. Nobody needs to depend on clueless and uncaring corporate entities. In fact, clueful corporate entities can get together with free-range hackers to improve everybody's environment. That's what's been happening with weblogging, which has produced RSS, XML-RPC, SOAP and other handy standards.
Weblogs form communities in much the same way that people do. Follow the links from Glenn Reynolds' Instapundit, and you'll find most are in agreement with Glenn's libertarian/conservative political philosophy. Glenn is widely considered the leading "warblogger". Dave Winer, the prime mover behind the acronyms in the last paragraph, is widely considered the leading "techblogger". There are blogs focused on photography, music, raising kids, women's issues, you name it. What makes them radically different from any other kind of on-line forum is they aren't contained by their categories.
Eric Olsen, whose main blog, TresProducers, is more or less in the warblogger camp, also is a music producer who has organized a bunch of fellow bloggers at Blogcritics.org. Group blogs and hot topics gather people the way cuisines cause restaurants to gather certain kinds of customers, who are also customers of other restaurants and fond of other cuisines.
Still, I think we're missing something we had in the best of those old on-line forums, especially The Well. One of my life's regrets was that I never participated in The Well, even though I went to the trouble of belonging to it. I have similar feelings about Woodstock: I drove people up there, then turned around and went home in the rain.
With all due respect to Slashdot, Kuro5hin and Advogato, I don't think there are any Wells on the Web yet—including The Well itself, which still exists. I'm on half a dozen e-mail lists that are excellent (I'd name them but I don't want to burden them with more participants than they already have), and most of them are also exposed on the Web. But I still don't think any of them meets The Well standard.
However, I think it will happen because I think we're still early in the Net's evolution. How will we know that Well-grade communities are happening big-time on the Web? Here's my guess: they'll matter politically. They'll mobilize to elect some people and prevent the election of others. They'll also bring down bad companies and industries and raise others up.
Why politics? Why muscular market action? Because the Web is a public place; it's the commons; it's where public communities gather; it's utterly uncontained. Ultimately, our communities are going to keep it that way.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I'm finding it very difficult to read straight through as I had planned. I found a guide online that I think I'm going to try. It separates types of readings based on the day of the week. I will end up covering some of the material I have already been through, but I don't suppose that really matters too much.
erika1661 has written 6 entries about this goal
These readings are very slow-going for me. I'm reading in two languages, and therefore, it takes me double time for each chapter.
Genesis 18: Destruction of Soddom and Gomorrah discussed.
Genesis 19: Lot taken from Soddom… Cities destroyed. Lot's wife turns into pillar of salt. Lot's daughters lay with him.
Genesis 20: Abraham and Sarah in Gerar (King Abimelech).
I haven't had my Bible for a few days, as I left it at my mother's house. However, I did get it back recently, and have resumed with my readings.
These few chapters are about Abram being renamed Abraham and his covenant with God regarding circumcision, Hagar bearing Ishmael, etc.
It's a little slow-going for me, as I'm reading it in two languages, but I've made a little progress… I'm up to Genesis 16. It's a little hard to make time when I'm trying to finish up this semester, and well, I guess wasting time online doesn't help much either.
Genesis 5-7
Genesis 6:4
"There were giants in the earth in those days and also after that…"
Tonight I didn't do much reading… I actually haven't read much at all the last few days. I did get through a couple of short chapters in Genesis.
I found a guide to reading the Bible in a year at the back of my Bible. I'm starting with Genesis 1-26 in the first week. Today, I read the first four chapters, but to complicate matters, I'm reading it in both English and Spanish. My Bible has side-by-side translations in the King James Version. The formal Spanish is rather difficult, but I'm getting through it.

Earlier this month we were all saddened by the tragic events in Minneapolis involving the collapse of a portion of the Interstate 35 bridge over the Mississippi River. As a result of inquiries by me and Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has released data on deficient bridges within our own state. The data, while alarming at first due to the number of deficient bridges, shows that Texas is aware of the condition of its bridges and is working hard to make certain that a tragedy of the magnitude experienced in Minnesota will never happen within our borders.
Statewide, there are over 2,000 bridges that are in need of some form of maintenance or repair. Dallas County is home to over 30 of these bridges. You may have seen the recent coverage by the Dallas Morning News of deficient bridges in our region. The Dallas Morning News was utilizing the most recent data available to them at the time of publication, which was from February of 2007. In the short span of time between February and today, I am pleased to report that TxDOT has been working diligently and has replaced or repaired nearly a dozen of the bridges listed in the Dallas Morning News database.
I and my colleagues in the Legislature plan to continue working with TxDOT to ensure that they have adequate funding to keep our Texas bridges and roads maintained and Texans safe. For more information on Texas bridges, click here.
As noted in last month's Email Update, there was some concern that SB 8, a bill the Legislature passed this session to require random steroid testing of high school athletes, would not be implemented in time for the upcoming high school football season. Since then, the University Interscholastic League (UIL) has confirmed that the rollout of the program will be delayed. However, the UIL does expect that the program will be implemented during the season. In announcing the delay, the UIL noted that it took many years for an effective steroid testing program to be implemented at the college level.
After the session and to the Legislature's surprise, Governor Perry vetoed $154 million in funding for Texas' community colleges. The veto has had a significant impact on the state's 50 community colleges, which enrolled 574,000 students in the Fall of 2006, nearly half of all college students in the state, and resulted in a $15.7 million loss to the Dallas County Community College District. Community colleges are examining a number of options to allow them to continue operations without the funding, including raising tuition rates, raising taxes and discontinuing certain class and program offerings.
Governor Perry has explained that he vetoed the funding because the community colleges did not use the correct formula in calculating the portion of state funding for community college budgets. The community colleges disagree with this position explaining that the formula used was the one that has been in place for many years. They also point out that the formula was used by the Legislature during the legislative process.
To assist community colleges with the funding shortfall, the Legislature is considering various proposals to restore the funding before the next session in 2009. Both Lieutenant Governor Dewhurst and Speaker Craddick have committed to this effort. To this end, on August 14th, the Senate Subcommittee on Higher Education convened to hear testimony from the Governor's office, the community colleges, and the Comptroller's office. The House will be holding a similar hearing on September 6th. I am hopeful that we can work together to resolve this serious problem for our community colleges.
The Texas Education Agency has released the state's accountability ratings for Texas public schools. There are four ratings: Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable, and Academically Unacceptable. The ratings are based on results of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test. Of the five school districts in Senate District 16, all were rated Academically Acceptable or higher. Also this month, the federal government released its public school ratings; there are two ratings: Meets Adequate Yearly Progress and Failed to Meet Adequate Yearly Progress. The federal ratings are also based on results of the TAKS test, but since there are different passing standards the state and federal ratings are not always concurrent. For a complete list of the federal ratings click here and look at the AYP (Annual Yearly Progress) column.
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) is establishing an Insurance Fraud Information Exchange Network to assist the TDI Fraud Unit and other law enforcement agencies in more effectively investigating and prosecuting entities and individuals who are suspected of engaging in widespread and/or multiple cases of insurance fraud. The network will enhance investigations of insurance fraud by allowing the TDI Fraud Unit and law enforcement to canvas multiple insurers across all lines of coverage on cases of suspected fraud.
The Comptroller's Office has recently launched Texas EDGE, an online research service designed to help local governments and economic development organizations analyze facts and figures. This expanded research service will provide governments, developers, and businesses across the state with data and analysis useful in revenue planning, financial analysis, economic forecasting, site location decisions, and other issues affecting trade and industry growth.
This month, I would like to highlight some of the new laws that may have a direct impact on our daily lives, some of which are already in effect and others that will become effective on September 1, 2007.
Protections for our children
SB 9, effective on June 15, 2007, requires a national criminal history background check for all certified public school employees, prevents individuals from employment with a school district if they have been convicted of certain felony offenses or a sex offense when the victim of the crime was a child, and creates a clearinghouse at the Department of Public Safety for criminal history background information on public school employees so this information can be shared among school districts.
Other measures passed to ensure safety for our children included bills addressing bus safety issues. For example, HB 323 requires all new buses purchased by a school district after September 1, 2010, to be equipped with lap and shoulder seatbelts. The bill also requires that all buses contracted for use by a school district after September 1, 2014, must be equipped with seatbelts. Since the bill's provisions will not take effect unless the Legislature appropriates the necessary funds to school districts to cover the expenses of the changes, I will be working toward ensuring that this funding is provided.
HB 3190 prohibits a person who has committed offenses such as vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence, and leaving the scene of an accident from operating a school bus for 10 years after the offense. HB 3190 also requires school bus operators to wear seat belts if the operator's seat is equipped with restraints, prohibits the operation of a school bus if the number of persons inside the bus exceeds the manufacturer's design capacity for the vehicle or if the bus' door is open, authorizes a school bus operator to prohibit a passenger from standing or sitting on the floor of a bus or anywhere that is not a seat, requires a school bus evacuation training program, and requires a school district to train all of its students and teaching staff in the process of emergency school bus evacuation at least twice a year.
HB 8, known as Jessica's Law, was one of the more significant pieces of legislation passed during the session. The bill is named after Jessica Lunsford, a child who was kidnapped and killed by a sexual predator. HB 8 strengthens protections for children by imposing a 25-year minimum sentence for sexually violent offenses against children under 14 years of age. HB 8 also eliminates eligibility for parole for certain sex offenders, makes a second conviction of a sexually violent offense against a child under 14 years of age a capital felony, mandates global positioning system (GPS) monitoring for offenders committed under the sexually violent predator statutes, extends the statute of limitations for sexually violent offenses against children under the age of 14 to 20 years past the victims' 18th birthday, and clarifies that harboring a sex offender in violation of registration is an offense punishable by up to a third degree felony.
As a complement to HB 8, SB 6 was also passed. SB 6 increases the penalty for sexually explicit online communication with a minor who is 14 to 16 years old from a state jail felony to a third degree felony and increases the penalty for online sexual solicitation of a minor who is 14 to 16 years old from a third degree felony to a second degree felony.
Protections for our senior citizens
Because some of our senior citizens can also be at risk, SB 1315 was passed to require the Texas Department of Public Safety to develop an alert system for missing senior citizens similar to the current Amber Alert Program for abducted children.
Gun ownership and self protection rights
SB 378, known as the "Castle Doctrine," removes the requirement that persons attempt to retreat before using deadly force to defend themselves, effective September 1, 2007. HB 1815 was passed to allow a person to carry a handgun, otherwise illegal knife, or club on the person's own premises, or inside of or en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person. However, the bill makes it an offense to carry a handgun in a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control, if the handgun is in plain view, or the person is engaged in certain criminal activity, or is prohibited from possessing a firearm, or is a member of a criminal street gang.
SB 112, which went into effect on April 27, 2007, protects a person's right to bear arms during a declared disaster or emergency by prohibiting law enforcement officers from confiscating firearms during such emergency periods.
HB 991, which was effective as of May 23, 2007, makes Department of Public Safety records about who holds a concealed handgun in Texas confidential. Criminal justice agency officials still have access to this information.
"Lillian's Law"
HB 1355, a bill known as "Lillian's Law," requires all dog owners to properly secure their dogs on their property. This bill provides that a dog owner can be held criminally responsible if the dog causes serious bodily injury or death at a location other than the owner's property in an unprovoked attack during which the owner negligently failed to secure the dog. Exempted from the bill are many dog professionals, including peace officers, who work with dogs on a regular basis. Please pass information about this change in the law on to your neighbors as it may impact their activities with pets.
Legislation to curb copper thefts
Prompted by constituents who have experienced significant dollar losses from the destruction of equipment due to thefts of copper, and by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who encouraged state and local governments to deter copper theft in order to maintain the integrity of the electric power grid due to thefts of copper from electrical transmission and distribution lines and substation grounding wire, three bills were passed to address the growing problem in Texas with thefts of copper metals.
SB 1154, HB 1766, and HB 1767 provide, among other things, increased penalties for thefts of copper and other metals, created a statewide reporting system for sales and purchases of the metals, and created offenses for knowingly buying or selling stolen copper materials.
New traffic laws
Following the death of Katie Bolka, a 17 year old killed by a speeding elderly driver who ran a red light, the Legislature passed HB 84, also known as Katie's Law. The bill requires drivers 85 years of age and above to pass a vision test in order to have their driver's license renewed.
Recognizing the increased dangers of driving at very high speeds, the Legislature passed HB 586, which eliminates the option of having a speeding ticket dismissed by taking a driving safety course for those who are found guilty of driving faster than 95 miles per hour. It is anticipated that removing this option for offenses involving high speeds will deter driving at such high speeds.
Before being fully licensed, most young drivers receive a learner's permit. To drive with a learner's permit, the young driver is required to be accompanied by a licensed driver who is 21 years or older and has at least one year's driving experience. This supervision is intended to further the training of young drivers and ensure public safety. To that end, the Legislature passed SB 153, which makes it an offense for the accompanying licensed passenger of a driver with a learner's permit to sleep, be intoxicated, or to engage in any activity that prevents the passenger from observing and responding to the actions of the driver of the vehicle.
Currently, temporary cardboard license tags (plates) cannot be traced to an individual. In addition, there is no way to track the temporary tags, know how many are printed, how many are used, who issues them, and how many are issued to one buyer. In recent years, this lack of information on temporary tags has created problems for law enforcement since these tags are often used by individuals engaging in criminal activities. To address this situation, the Legislature passed SB 1786, which requires the Texas Department of Transportation to create a real-time database in which automobile dealers are required to maintain information about temporary license plates for newly sold automobiles, including data on the vehicle and its owner.
The Texas Department of Agriculture, which is charged with monitoring the accuracy of gas station pumps, has increased fines for pumps that do not dispense the correct amount of fuel. The maximum allowable tolerance is six cubic inches per five gallons, which is about six tablespoons. Statewide, the average compliance rate is 96%. With the recent increases in the price of gas, the Texas Agriculture Department now posts on its website a list of gas stations that have shortchanged consumers at the pump. Also, if you believe that you have not gotten the correct amount of gas at a pump, you can report the station by calling 1-800-TELL-TDA.
The Texas Commission on the Arts is now accepting applications for its Young Masters Scholarship Program. The program provides art students in grades 8-12 financial assistance to pursue advanced study in visual art, literature, music, theatre, and dance; however, the program is not a college scholarship. Those selected will receive the title Young Master and a scholarship in the amount of $2,500, renewable up to three years. You may apply at the Texas Commission on the Arts website or call 512-936-6564. Applications must be postmarked by November 15, 2007.

5 Franchises You Want to Invest In
3. Fastsigns
Businesses that provide services and products to other businesses, more commonly referred to as b2b services, is another strong industry. Fastsigns , a 27-year-old company making signs, decals, digital prints and other custom solutions for businesses, has been able to adapt its services to a changing market.
The company has 530 locations in the U.S. and abroad.While startup costs for a Fastsigns store that is not converting from another company average around $200,000, the company is doing its part to open up capital access to franchisees. Besides co-sponsoring the International Franchise Association's Small Business Lending Summit (along with other companies) earlier this week, Fastsigns is one of several companies that partnered with The Bancorp (TBBK) and Franchise America Finance to offer an expansion financing program. Under the program, Fastsigns has a $6 million credit facility for startups and expanding franchisees, it says. Fastsigns also rolled out a program to fund the conversion of independent shops to Fastsigns franchises. "We have the highest

The baffle of the bulge. For the past 18,000 years, our planet has been slimming. Now, it's suddenly starting to bulge in the middle. Researchers are baffled. While there are explanations for slight changes in the Earth's dimensions, none of them account for a shift this big, this fast.
The first satellites showed that Earth is rather pear-shaped, and because it is spinning and made largely of somewhat elastic rock, it is a bit wider around the equator. The difference is slight – Earth's equator is only about 0.3% greater than its height.

Horrified: possible accidental arterial infusion
- 0I had a patient yesterday who was hypoglycemic. Previously, I'd placed her IV in that diagonal vein in the AC that I've used 100x... Or so I thought. She had an episode of hypoglycemia and had to get D25%. I started slow pushing it, but she complained of warmth and feeling flushed, and her arm was looking flushed. I had probably given 2 cc at that point. So I diluted it in 100 cc NS and hung the infusion over 20 min. She had another episode of her distal arm getting flushed and mottled, though it remained warm with sensation, a strong pulse and no edema. I slowed the infusion more, her arm started to go back to normal. The whole time, the line flushed and drew without pain or complications. Later, the oncoming nurse said he thought the line was pulsatile!!! I totally trust him, but I never noticed a pulse, there was no back flow without me pulling back, and the blood I drew was dark red. I even let it free-flow for a second and it didn't spurt. The tech who d/c'd it said it didn't bleed when taken out. Does it sound like it was arterial?! I am so upset to think I might have put DEXTROSE of all things into an arterial line!!! I have called the floor she's admitted to 3times and the nurses say her arm is fine and she's not complaining. Last time I checked on her was 16 hrs after this whole mess. How soon would tissue damage show itself though!? I can't think about anything else until I know she's going to be OK!!!
- 1Jul 2, '12 by Been there,done thatMost pumps will not obtain enough pressure to deliver into an artery.
The issue is ...the arm was mottled and you continued the infusion. The purpose of giving dextrose is to rapidly raise the blood sugar, slowing the rate of infusion was not an option.
- 0Well, I stand by my decision to continue the infusion if it was in fact a venous line. It flushed and drew, and was showing gradual improvement. Continuing the infusion was the lesser of two evils- my patient had no neuro issues yet, but given her glucose level, she had to be darn close! Slowing the infusion simultaneously acheived 2 goals: raising her BG and maintaining the line. I should mention that despite the low reading, pt. was entirely alert and neurologically intact. Long story about why she couldn't take PO, and it's too specific to post. The MD's were also in agreement with this plan. What I really want to know is the timeline of tissue damage after such an event, especially if it was arterial. The pump gave me no trouble BTW.
- 4Jul 2, '12 by Been there,done thatI remain confused. Why are you concerned about tissue damage, if the glucose entered the circulatory system via an artery?
BTW , having an MD in agreement with the plan "Don't impress me much"
- 1Jul 2, '12 by Ashley, PICU RNIf the dextrose had infiltrated and caused tissue damage, you would know relatively quickly. Certainly signs would not arise 16+ hours after the med was given.
The risk with giving medication through an arterial line is that arteries are very sensitive to medications and can easily spasm. If the artery clamps down, it can cause peripheral tissue infarction from lack of blood flow. Severe tissue damage will be evident almost immediately. (When cells die, and are no longer receiving oxygen, you can tell.) The danger with dextrose is that it's more likely to cause infection. If an artery spasms, the peripheral tissues aren't getting blood flow, so the area would become cool and pale, not flushed. A flushed extremity sounds more like a venous spasm- where the blood pools in the extremity but cannot return- causing a flushed and warm extremity. Venous insufficiency could cause mottling as well.
Of course, it's impossible to say now whether the line was actually arterial. But just seeing dark blood and making sure the line doesn't spurt are not for sure signs that it's venous either, especially in patients who might have compromised circulation to begin with. The most accurate way to determine where the line is located is with a blood gas or a color doppler ultrasound. What was running through the line before this? What was the rate? Did the patient have any complaints?
Like the first poster said, continuing the infusion at the dilution/rate that you were running it doesn't really make sense, in this circumstance. The purpose of D25 is to raise the blood sugar when it is dangerously low. D25 dilute in 100 cc of saline dilutes the dextrose to about 2%. Then, running it over half an hour means that the patient is getting a tiny amount of dextrose each minute- not enough to raise the blood sugar to an appropriate level if it really was so low that D25 was required. At that point, if you're trying to give a medication in am emergency and you're concerned about the patency of the line, you're better off giving something sublingual while you obtain new access.
- 0Ah, that makes sense. It definitely was never cool or pale. The line was previously saline-locked and was able to be flushed without pain, discoloration, resistance, flushing/blanching, etc. believe it or not, we don't stock SL glucose(!) but that's an idea. Lesson learned. I wonder if a venous spasm could cause the irritated vessel to appear pulsatile for a time? I have never seen such a thing. Does it have to do with concentration of the infusion or speed of push? Does heat (vasodilation) help? So, tissue damage from arterial spasm is quickly evident then, right? Anyone have an example they'd be willing to share?
- 4Jul 2, '12 by IVRUSAnything above D10 is hyperosmolar and in this case, has an osmolarity above 1000. D25 is a vesicant and can cause severe tissue necrosis and can cause the patient to lose their limb. Whenever a vesicant is administered, you as the medical professional should be ascertaining a brisk blood return with every 2-3 mls of your IV Push and ensuring that the patient has no complaints, or that you are not noticing any adverse affects with your administration. And... If you question, even with a blood return that you are not in the vein, you should NEVER "just wing it" and continue with the administration, whether that be IVP, or diluting it and giving it over another time frame... (You also did not get the Blood Glucose levels up where you needed them when you diluted it.) Hopefully, this is a learning experience for you.
Also remember that when a vesicant goes into the SQ tissues, the initial tissue sloughing and subsequent necrosis may not be evident for 3-4 weeks. Keep monitoring the area.
- 0Is it possible that there was infiltration despite NO EDEMA, disappearance of all symptoms and no pain/swelling/edema/ discoloration or any problems, now nearly 24 hours after? I have seen infiltrates and extrav's before, and never such a delay in symptom onset. I see what you are saying about late onset necrosis, but is this with or without persistent symptoms in the hours following the infusion?
- 1Jul 2, '12 by iluvivtIVRUS is correct in that tissue damage from a vesicant may not be apparent for several weeks. An extravastion and infiltration are not terms that can be used interchangebly. It does sound like you had an arterial placement based upon your explanation of the tissue flushing and blanching. If you were near the basilic vein it is not that difficult to hit the artery instead . We have a little saying here about PIVs it's "when in doubt take it out" and I would have definately questioned it based upon your excellent observations. You should not base your decision to leave the line in place on the fact that you were able to easily instill and the patient was not having any pain b/c that does not exclude an arterial placement. Many times they do not have pain and may not even pulsate easily. I know of several cases in which an arterial line was inadvertently used as a venous line for several days..and yes the pump continued to pump the IVF. I noticed on the most recent one I happened to catch..just such a case...but I could tell b/c when I checked for a blood return..it was just way too brisk.
There is slight possibility that the patient may have had a small arteriovenous fistula. I remember one time I accessed the accessory cephalic vein on this patient....it was very large,soft,and on the surface..I felt it..it was a vein..but after I accessed it ...it was behaving just like an artery..very strange.....I took it out b/c I suspected and AV fistula...does not happen very often..but I have started thousands upon thousands of IVs.
Contrary to popular belief the ACF veins are not desirable for routine IV therapy for a variety or reasons...inadvertant arterial cannulation,very positional, at an area of flexion,should be preserved as blood drawing veins, IVs should be started optimally from the hand up (preserves available proximal veins for use). I know the ED likes to use them and I deal with it....and they are usually easy to hit,but if the patient beomes an admit....we just have to change them anyway b/c the pump beeping drives the patient crazy. I do use them for power injection if I have to..but then I have them d/ced after that and resite it in a better location.Last edit by iluvivt on Jul 3, '12 : Reason: spelling
- 0Jul 3, '12 by brainkandy87Well, I don't know what floor you work on, but hopefully your ER has a portable ultrasound for inserting IV's (your cath lab def has one). That's the best way for confirming placement. I'm called a lot to the floors to insert lines with US and have seen some funky anatomy and felt some strange veins. Once, I put an IV into an artery that felt 100% like a vein and it was non-pulsatile, painless when flushed, no apparent skin issues, and the blood draw appeared ALMOST venous. It could've passed for venous. I just suspected something wasn't right.
So I pulled out my US and started looking. Sure enough, it was in her artery. Her AC anatomy was just different than most. Her artery was sitting directly on top of her basilic vein and very superficial. Learn to use US. It's a very valuable resource. If you can't find a vein, you won't have to question what you're poking. Also, if you're ever unsure if it's arterial and you don't have access to US to visualize it, pull it. Poking the patient again is much preferred to the adverse effects of an accidental arterial infusion.

Is it typical to be on five different blood pressure medications?
- Q: Is it typical to be on five different blood pressure medications?
- A: Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a condition where the pressure on the blood vessels is elevated. Blood pressure measures the pressure against the blood vessels during contraction and at rest. A normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 mmHg. However, goals can change based on personal health and your physician should be able to tell you what your goal should be. Hypertension is often treated with oral medication, exercise, and reduced salt intake. Eating a low-salt diet can often assist in reducing blood pressure because salt causes the body to retain fluid, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure. Treating hypertension with oral medications often requires more than one drug. There are numerous classes of medication available for the treatment of hypertension. Many medications used to treat high blood pressure are combinations of multiple drugs. Hypertension may be treated with diuretics, ACE-Inhibitors, Angiotensin-Receptor Blockers, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, alpha blockers, and various other medications. While five medications is quite a lot, it is possible for a person to be treated with five different medications to treat high blood pressure. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Megan Uehara, PharmD

21 Dec 2014
By Emily Sharpe. Web onlyPublished online: 30 April 2014
A life-size facsimile of the tomb of King Tutankhamun opens to the public in Egypt tomorrow, 1 May. Installed two-meters underground, in a building next to the archaeologist Howard Carter's house at the entrance of the Valley of the Kings, the project gives a boost to the trend of using precise replicas to promote sustainable tourism at massively popular ancient sites.
See also:
Although the idea to build a replica of Tut's tomb was first suggested more than 20 years ago, a detailed recording of the site by the Madrid-based workshop Factum Arte—a pioneer in the field of three-dimension scanning and high-resolution photography—only began in 2009. The company has already completed other scanning projects in Egypt, including making a replica of the tomb of Thutmose III for a touring exhibition. As part of the Tut project, a lost "Isis" fragment, known only from a photograph taken by Harry Burton shortly after Carter's discovery of the burial chamber in 1922, was recovered.With the number of annual visitors to the Valley of the Kings expected to reach 15 million by 2015, replicas could offer a much-needed balance between the demands of tourism and long-term preservation efforts. King Tut's tomb has suffered from the fluctuations in temperature and humidity caused by the vast number of visitors over the years; the daily number of visitors is now restricted to 1,000. And visits to other tombs, including those of Seti I and Queen Nefertari, are strictly limited for conservation reasons.The public's acceptance of replicas seems to be gaining ground: copies of the painted caves at Lascaux and Altamira have proved popular, with the latter attracting around 500,000 people annually.

Men's Basketball Coach
With 19 years coaching experience, 11 in the lead role, Coach Phil Bartlett is one of the most experienced coaches in the state.
Phil began his head coaching career at his Alma matter West Rutland High School, winning 77% of his games, higher than any coach in the history of the institution. In his five years with the Golden Horde, Bartlett's teams appeared in four State Championship Games, and he produced three 1,000 point scorers, turning West Rutland into a perennial powerhouse.
Coaching style
Coaching six players to the 1,000 point mark, his up-tempo, hard-defending style has become a staple in the area. Phil will soon surpass the 100 win mark with the Saints, and his powerhouse teams are in the national rankings yearly, including several appearances in the top five.
Phil's most important statistic is the amount of time his teams have spent serving the community. His Fighting Saints are constantly putting others in front of themselves, including benefits for local businesses, reading programs at local schools, and mentoring local youth.
A graduate of West Rutland High School, Phil attended Worcester Academy Prep and then Castleton State College. He is the proud father of two sons, Josh and Jake, and also serves as the athletic director at the college.

My shuttle to the airport leaves in about 4 1/2 hours.
Things I need to do: Shower, Drop a couple of payments off, Stop at the bank to get some change, Stop at the post office to get some stamps, Finish packing. Anything else?
I was planning to take just my backpack and possibly my computer case. I started packing my backpack and I was running out of room pretty quickly. So I think I better take my carry on suitcase. Sadly, with the same stuff that was in the backpack, there isn't a ton of extra room left in the suitcase. :p If the hotel had a laundry I would have packed less and definitely took the backpack.
I had been thinking about leaving my computer at home and have somebody make some entries for me to finish off my Year(minus one day) of Entries on LJ, which ends on March 15, my birthday. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get ahold of my friend I was going to ask to do it. Now do I pay for internet at the hotel, or do I hoof it over to McDonalds(4-6 blocks away) and use their free WiFi? :p
So there is a good chance that I might not be around reading everybody's entries for the next few days. I will be back home Friday evening. Please let me know if I miss anything special.
Well, I am going to finish watching Match Game and then jump into the shower and get started running around.

Former Atlanta Brave Brian Hunter gets his turn in Cooperstown
By Craig Muder
Brian Hunter peered into the Braves' locker in the Hall of Fame's Today's Game exhibit and stared right into history.
"Look, Smoltzie's shoes," said Hunter of the cleats belonging to former Braves teammate John Smoltz. "And there's (a photo of Rafael) Furcal. And Andruw Jones' bat. I was there with all of them."
Hunter was more than "there." The nine-year major league vet, who spent parts of five seasons with the Braves, appeared in three World Series with Atlanta and played a role in the Braves' remarkable run through the 1990s.
Hunter toured the Hall of Fame on Monday as part of a team from the Cooperstown All Star Village. Hunter, along with former Minnesota Twins farmhand Vern Hildebrandt, serve as coaches for the team.
Hunter, now 41 but still looking every bit the athlete, broke into the majors in 1991 and finished fourth in the National League Rookie of the Year voting, He hit .333 in the Braves' win over Pittsburgh in the NLCS, then scored two runs and drove in three more while playing in all seven games of the World Series. Hunter appeared in the 1992 World Series with Atlanta, then — after being traded to Pittsburgh in following the 1993 season — wrapped up his big league career with stints with the Pirates, Reds, Mariners, Cardinals, Braves (again) and the Phillies.
It was Hunter's first trip to the Hall of Fame, but — on paper — he's been here since his big league debut in 1991. Hunter, just like every one of the 17,000-plus men who have played Major League Baseball, has a file in the Hall of Fame's Library. When shown a file story recounting Hunter's brush with a beanball, his youth baseball team let out a big "Ooohhhh."
"This is amazing," said Hunter while poring over a few of the three million documents in the Hall of Fame's Library. "It's all here."
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
The grand game
By Freddy Berowski
There are 289 members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Only two of them have hit two grand slams in one game: Tony Lazzeri and Frank Robinson.
But one day after Rickey Henderson, Jim Rice and Joe Gordon took their rightful place in Cooperstown, Senior Circuit batters launched an attack on several grand slam records.
The Washington Nationals' Josh Willingham hit a record-tying two grand slam home runs in back-to-back innings. Willingham's eight RBI on the day matched a franchise high, and it was the third time in National League history that a batter has had two grand slams in a game, the last being Fernando Tatis with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1999.
When Tatis clubbed his two grand slams on April 23, 1999, they both came in the same inning. Even more amazing is that the third inning blasts came off of the same pitcher, the Dodgers' Chan Ho Park. Ironically, Tatis was one of three National Leaguers to hit grand slams Monday when his eighth-inning, pinch-hit shot off recently recalled Franklin Morales propelled the Mets to victory over the wild-card leading Colorado Rockies.
Alfonso Soriano added to the fireworks on Monday when his 13th-inning walk-off grand slam led the surging, first place Chicago Cubs past one of their division rivals, the Houston Astros.
According to David Vincent of the SABR Home Run Log, the National League mark of four grand slams in one day was established on May 21, 2000. On that day Shawn Green and Adrian Beltre of the Los Angeles Dodgers, J.T. Snow of the San Francisco Giants and Brian Hunter of the Philadelphia Phillies connected for bases-loaded round-trippers.
Coincidentally, the only time four grand slams were hit on the same day in the American League was also in 2000, when Ben Grieve, Joe Oliver, Richie Sexson and Jose Macias went deep with the bags full on July 22.

Friday's Small-Cap Winners & Losers
Wild swings once again marked the action for small-cap stocks Friday as the tech-heavy Nasdaq rallied while the Dow and S&P 500 spent much of the day in the doghouse.
Iona (IONA) shares climbed 20% to $3.31 after the Dublin, Ireland-based software company confirmed that a third party had expressed interest in buying it.
Also shining was TerreStar (TSTR), shares of which shot up 24% to $5.61 after announcing that the Reston, Va.-based wireless communication provider had secured a $200 million investment from EchoStar (SATS) and Harbinger to fund a satellite and, subject to approvals, acquired rights to 1.4 GHz spectrum from the two companies. In return, EchoStar and Harbinger get two seats in TerreStar's boardroom.
Photon Dynamics (PHTN) jumped 11% to $9.19 on strong first-quarter earnings announced Thursday after the close. The San Jose, Calif., provider of yield management solutions for flat-panel screens posted a non-GAAP loss of $5.7 million, or 31 cents a share, on revenue of $16.2 million. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial were looking for a loss of 32 cents a share on revenue of $16.7 million. The company also said the flat-panel market would improve in 2008 and guided for a fiscal 2008 loss between 11 cents and 5 cents a share, which is narrower than the 20 cents a share the average analyst expects.Among the losers was PDF Solutions (PDFS). After the bell Thursday, the San Jose, Calif.-based developer of semiconductor infrastructure technology announced pro forma fourth-quarter income of $5.8 million, or 21 cents a share, vs. $2.3 million, or 8 cents a share, in 2006. The performance beat the Street's expectation by a penny. The company also announced guidance for the first quarter of 2008, predicting non-GAAP earnings per share between 8 and 10 cents. Analysts are looking for EPS of 14 cents. RBC Capital Markets downgraded PDF Solutions to sector from outperform. Shares plummeted 29% to $5.90. Reston, Va.-based comScore (SCOR), a tracker of online consumer behavior, lost 17% to $22.83. The company forecast first-quarter EPS between 10 cents and 11 cents, excluding charges. Analysts see earnings of 16 cents a share. Shares were still down after the AP reported confusion about comScore's inclusion of a 39% tax rate that would hold back earnings. Analysts had not taken that charge into account, according to the report. More broadly, the Russell 2000 was recently down 0.5% to 698.97, and the S&P SmallCap 600 descended 0.4% to 369.00.

The Sear Station for Summit 400 series grill is between burners 2 and 3 and the Series Station for the Summit 600 series grill is between burners 4 and 5. So, to me, the cooking grate cut-out (for the Sear Grate or Wok) should be located over the sear station. For this to work you need to: cut one of the existing 12-inch gates on the 400 series or cut two of existing 12-inch gates on the 600 series.
