Synergetics USA Announces New Vitrectomy Products At American Academy Of Ophthalmology 2011 Annual Meeting
Synergetics USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: SURG), a medical device company that designs, manufactures, and markets innovative devices for ophthalmic and neurosurgical applications, today announced two new ophthalmic products planned for the vitrectomy market. The new products were introduced at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) held in Orlando on October 22-25, 2011. The Company also announced record sales leads generated from the showcasing of ophthalmic products.
"We featured two new products in our development pipeline for the vitrectomy market at the AAO meeting in Orlando that generated significant interest from ophthalmic surgeons," stated Dave Hable, President and CEO of Synergetics USA, Inc. "We also generated record sales leads for our existing products, highlighting our increased visibility in the market for retinal devices and innovative products for ophthalmic applications.
"We introduced VersaVIT™ and UVE (Ultimate Vit Enhancer™) at this year's AAO meeting. VersaVIT is our first product for the vitrectomy machine market and will extend our product line into this market segment that currently generates $150 million in annual sales. UVE is a high-speed vitrectomy enhancement system that is designed to boost significantly the cutting speed of the market's leading vitrectomy machine.
"We believe VersaVIT represents a new concept in retinal surgery with its highly portable design, moderate price and ease of use. It features a complete system in an under-25 pound package that is capable of running on battery power and gas cartridges, further enhancing its portability. The small footprint of VersaVIT makes it ideally suited for ambulatory surgery centers, as a traveling unit for satellite offices and potentially for in-office procedures. We expect VersaVIT to be priced very competitively compared with existing vitrectomy machines, further expanding its market potential."We also previewed UVE, a high-speed vitrectomy cutter designed to work with the market leading vitrectomy machine," continued Mr. Hable. "UVE significantly upgrades the cutting speed of the market leading vitrectomy machine to 8,000 cuts per minute, a jump from its cutting speed of 2,500 cuts per minute and also much faster than the latest generation of vitrectomy machines. We believe the higher cutting speed will allow retinal surgeons to make more precise and smoother cuts on the delicate retinal surface. We expect UVE to be priced at a fraction of the cost of the latest generation of high-speed vitrectomy machines while being able to utilize existing surgical packs for the market leading vitrectomy machine, including Synergetics' VersaPACK™ that was introduced in January 2011.

Scientists say they have discovered a series of genetic mutations that are linked to dental abnormalities such as cleft palate.
A study at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine analyzed genetic material from over 500 people whose families contain at least two siblings with cleft lip or palate.
They compared these results with those from 100 individuals who were chosen to represent the general population.
"We found a group of more than a dozen gene mutations that appear to be significantly associated with cleft lip and palate," commented lead researcher Alexandre Vieira, who specializes in pediatric dental health.
Cleft palate affects one in every 700 to 1,000 children born in the United States, according to KidsHealth.org. It is a condition more common in those of Asian, Latino or Native American descent.
Vieira said that the team is focused on identifying the particular genes that result in clefts so that doctors can screen for that risk in individual families.
Eventually, he added, there could even be gene therapies developed to target the condition.

I read in the Gospel the people were amazed at Jesus' words,
"What is it in his words?" they pondered.
His word has authority and the power to heal
I pick up His Word spoken, written for us
because I, too, need healing.
I need Jesus to command"Be quiet!" "Come out of her!"
To still the wounded memories,
the negative thoughts,
to enter those wounded areas and to heal.
I have only to read His Word and ponder
"What is it in His Words?"
I read, I pray, I whisper them
and let them permeate my brokenness
so I may be made whole.
His Word has the power to
do this
and I believe
for I return to them,
listen to them,
am drawn to them,
don't want to let go of them.
You lead me into the desert
to speak to me
and I surrender.
I am emptied in order to be filled.
You have the words of eternal life.
(excerpts from Matthew 4:32-36 NJB and John 6:68 NIV)

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and exploration of producing oil and gas properties and in the production, processing, marketing and transportation of oil and natural gas.
I'll make this short and sweet. I'm a buyer of this stock today after reading the 10-k and disregarding the market's knee jerk reaction. In case you can't get to it the gist is this. Despite dramatic falls in energy prices, XTO had substantial increase in cash flow and production while adding valuable reserves which will bode well into the future.

Many Medicare Beneficiaries Spending Nearly 24 Hours Researching And Selecting Their Medicare Coverage
According to a national survey of Medicare-eligible Americans conducted this year by Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), one of the nation's leading health and well-being companies, 70 percent of people 65 and older say that selecting the right Medicare coverage impacts their ability to live a healthy life.
Consequently, people eligible for Medicare coverage are taking the plan-selection process very seriously. As we're now in the midst of Medicare's Annual Election Period (which runs through December 7, 2013), people with Medicare are utilizing different criteria and taking advantage of different resources this year as they navigate their coverage options.
The survey found that:
- Medicare beneficiaries who research and evaluate Medicare options spend, on average, 22 hours on their plan decision – reflecting the importance they place on the decision.
- 64 percent of people eligible for Medicare cite plan quality as the key factor driving them to switch their Medicare coverage, rating overall quality as more important than plan cost and ability to continue receiving care from their primary care provider.
- Nationally, educational resources from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), help from friends, and the Internet are the leading resources Medicare beneficiaries turn to aid them in the plan-selection process.
- 10 percent of Medicare beneficiaries would like for someone to do their Medicare planning for them.
By providing access to agents across the U.S. who can work one-on-one with Medicare beneficiaries, Humana takes a personalized approach to helping people pick a plan that best suits their needs."Over many years, countless industries have tailored and customized their approaches to working directly with their customers. Our survey reveals that health care is no different – people want individual attention," said Debbie Smith, Vice President, Senior Products at Humana. "While people enrolling in Medicare or a Medicare plan recognize the importance of selecting the option that works best for them, the research shows they are dedicated to finding what they believe to be the highest quality coverage and will invest the time to identify that best option."

My Occasional Clinical Innovation Blog
Innovation as a "Why Not Game." Why Not Prevent Heart and Lung Disease Before The Horses are Out of the Barn? Why Not Pack in Cigarettes Before Pack-Years, Pulmonary, and Coronary Pipe Pathologies Pile Up?
Chest pain is the second most common reason for a patient to visit the emergency room (abdominal pain is number one. Each year in the United States and Canada there are more than six million evaluations in the ER of patients. But despite its frequency, chest pain is one of the most challenging symptoms for the clinician to unravel.
Jerome Groopman, MD, How Doctors Think, Houghton Mifflin Company, 2007
CPOD is generally a silent and unknown killer.
Lung Association, 2007
Occasionally a clinical innovation becomes an exercise in asking "Why not/"
• Why not detect early heart and lung disease at same time?
• Why not modify existing technologies that have been around for decades – coronary stress tests and tests to measure lung function – into one machine to do the jobs simultaneously?
• Why not kill two birds – coronary artery disease and chronic obstructive lung disease – two of the biggest killers of Americans – with one stone, a device for picking up early signs of both at one setting?
• Why not pack in those cigarettes before those pack-years add up while the packing is good?
These questions sprang to mind when reading Two May 2 Wall Street Journal pieces, "Heart Scanners Gain Popularity" and "Shining Light on a Deadly Lung Disorder."
The first piece concerned heart scanners as precise devices for spotting coronary disease, and the second, highlighted chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) as a deadly ailment afflicting 24 million Americans.
Smoking commonly causes coronary disease and COPD.
The four most common causes of death in the United States are:
1. Diseases of the heart, mostly from coronary artery disease; the risk goes up with smoking
2. All cancers, of which lung cancer is the most common
3. Stroke, the risk rises with smoking
4. Chronic obstructive lung disease, most often the consequence of smoking
The four most common causes of preventable death are:
1. Smoking
2. Poor diet and physical inactivity
3. Alcohol consumption
4. Infections
In short, smoking, coronary disease, and COPD are closely connected. That's why heart scanners and spirometers are good for detecting these diseases but are too late in game to prevent them.
• The promise and purpose of heart scanners is that these scanners can expose coronary artery disease as the culprit producing chest pain within 10 to 15 minutes. This speed and precision makes scanners invaluable in emergency room settings. Speed and accuracy saves lives and expense and avoids risks of stress tests and invasive angiography. The cost of a coronary workup – cardiac enzymes, ECG, stress tests, and angiography- are the core of an industry generating $10 to $12 billion in revenues, as compared to about $2 billion for scanners. "Because stress tests are not perfect, there are many patients who go to the cath lab who don't need it," says Dr. Harvey Hecht, chief of computer tomography at Lennox Hill Hospital in Manhattan,"All of these will be eliminated by doing cardiac CT."
• COPD is an umbrella term for lung diseases that inflame airways, obstruct breathing, trap bad air in lungs. COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD produces coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, excess sputum, and inability to breath or take a deep breath. Many COPD sufferers become lung cripples, confined to wheelchairs and tethered to oxygen tanks. Most COPD patients are present or past smokers The gold standard for diagnosing COPD is spirometry. Hand-held spirometers are in the offices of about 40% of primary care physicians, but are too infrequently used on two few patients. These spirometers are useful, but should be more widely deployed to detect the 12 million people with COPD who are not aware they have the disease.
Pack Years
This brings me to "pack years," a useful concept for smokers to ponder before continuing to smoke. "Pack years" measures the total impact of smoking has person has incurred through smoking over the years. Calculate it by multiplying the number of packs smoked per day by the number of years smoked. If you've smoked two packs a day for 20 years, that's 40 pack years. Get above 10 pack years, and you're likely to be a future heart disease, COPD, or lung cancer victim.
Pack Years in Heart and Lung Disease
Heavy smoking (more than 30 pack years) is common in coronary disease. Pack years of 30 or more are also directly related with COPD and lung cancer. If you've smoked one pack a day from age 20 to 50, you have 30 pack years. Two packs a day would be 60 pack years.
Pack years add up and their damage never completely goes away, even after you stop. Age may not count. I once saw a 26 year man who died of lung cancer. He had smoked 4 packs a day since he was 12 and had 56 pack years under his sternum. Hospital wards, at the VA and elsewhere are full of older men, sometimes called"chronic lungers," individuals suffering damage from excessive pack years.
A Device for Simultaneously Evaluating Heart and Lung Function
What would be ideal to ward off heart and disease from smoking would be a device measuring early heart and lung damage at the same time. Such a device, called SHAPE (Superior Heart and Pulmonary Evaluation) has been developed by entrepreneurs in partnership with the Mayo Clinic.
SHAPE consists of :
• A one-step staircase instead of the traditional treadmill (after one to two steps up the staircase, one can amplify the ECG signals to detect damage from coronary disease without the risk of driving the subject to exhaustion and the risk of having an arrhythmia or death while on the treadmill);
• a scuba-like mouthpiece hooked to a gas analyzer (this detects the efficiency of carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange, which is decreased in COPD and sometimes in heart disease as well);
• a laptop computer (It contains a large database of patients with coronary disease and/or COPD and allows one to predict chances of hospitalization and/or death).
This device, is not yet on the market, but it has been tested and validated by the Mayo Clinic. It is smaller and less expensive than the treadmill machine now used. The traditional treadmill is of no help in evaluating lung function. SHAPE , on the other hand,m may deter patients from further smoking by revealing heart and lung damage. . SHAPE can detect an early decline in coronary/pulmonary fitness or damage from smoking.
Imagine a 40 year old asymptomatic executive, with 20 pack years behind him, who suddenly finds he has early heart or lung damage and may be a future candidate for hospitalization, even death. That piece of news constitute an instant smoker-stopper.
To smokers, early concrete evidence of damage from their addiction is likely to be credible evidence to induce them to stop before too many more pack years elapse.

On the evening of the election, as I was watching the returns come in at an Obama election party, I met a man who was more informed about the election than anyone I'd met in the past twenty-one long months. CNN blared over the bar's loudspeaker. Images of Obama in various thoughtful poses decorated the walls and the chests of more than half the crowd. The partygoers had come to drink, whether in celebration or commiseration—consequences for work the next day be damned. Moving toward the back of the bar, I shared a counter with a short black man dressed in a white button-down shirt and dress pants, wearing rimmed glasses that gave his round face an intellectual air. "Do you think Obama's going to take Virginia?" he asked. We spoke for a minute about the possibility. "I'll be honest with you," he said, "when I look at the polls there, I start to think it might actually be possible—it looks good, but you never know."
It was the kind of hopeful but guarded statement heard across America on Tuesday night, but this time, the speaker was a Soweto-born South African man who has never been to the United States. We were speaking at 3 in the morning in a bar in Johannesburg, South Africa, where an equal mix of Americans and South Africans had turned out to see—they hoped—the first black man elected president of the United States.
Not surprisingly, South Africa's apartheid past ripples through black South Africans' reactions to Obama. The prospect of America electing a black president felt impossible. "With us and how we relate to white people here in South Africa, many people tried to project that onto the States," said Shoni Tshisikuk, my acquaintance from the election night party, when I spoke with him again two days later. "They said, "Wait a minute, we know white people in this country. We don't think that given a chance they'd ever elect a black person. So we don't think that white people in the U.S. would ever be willing to put a black person into power, into the ultimate office."
So what does it mean to black South Africans that America did just that? "For us, it feels like maybe this could be ushering in a new world, where people will pause and wait and listen to what you have to say before they pass judgment," Tshisikuk said. "To some degree it has made it possible for people to believe. It creates that sense of possibility."
Some South Africans said their feeling upon hearing the news was not unlike what they had felt in the early '90s when Nelson Mandela was released from prison and was elected South Africa's president. "Those are moments that allow you to forget about the problems and think about certain possibilities that for a long time we never allowed ourselves to think," Tshisikuk said. "You can suspend everything else and you live in a moment where everything is possible."
The question is, what kinds of changes might Obama's election herald for Africa? Policy differences between McCain and Obama regarding Africa were in fact few and far between, and Obama's ability to launch any sort of massive program targeting Africa, as President George W. Bush did with his AIDS relief program (PEPFAR), are diminishing by the day as the American financial situation declines. Yet when I asked South Africans this week whether Obama would do more for Africa than other presidents, most nodded their heads and said, "I think he will. I think he will. After all, he is African!"
"How to Kill a Country"
Turning a breadbasket into a basket case in ten easy steps—the Robert Mugabe way. By Samantha Power
Zimbabweans living in South Africa told me that their hope is that Obama will get rid of Robert Mugabe, the freedom fighter-turned dictator who has spent his twenty-eight years in power systemically destroying the country and its people. This is where Obama's African heritage comes in. "I think maybe [Obama] will put Mugabe out," said Lucky Khupe, a Zimbabwean security guard at the guesthouse where I was staying. "Because he's African, he can bring more changes." When I asked Khupe why, his answer surprised me. In the course of denying charges of human rights violations and corruption, Mugabe has repeatedly accused the West of racism and neo-colonialism. "If a white person took it to Mugabe, he'd be shouting and everything," Khupe said. "If a black person took it to Mugabe, it may be better."

"I love this recipe!! My husband saw the picture and wanted me to try it. Boy, am I glad I listened to him. I did make a change by using half ground pork and half ground turkey. Since we don't like raw onion, I used broccoli slaw with the bean sprouts. The hoisin mayo is fabulous! Sweet and spicy. This is definitely a recipe that I will use..."

GrumbleDook (9th October 2012)
NEN - The education network have asked for thoughts and opinions on BYOD in the classroom. Their consultation will include industry, and interested parties such as schools, colleges, RBCs etc. BYOD - What do you Think? - The National Education Network
I have created a blog post which I have also submitted to the consultation. It probably doesn't cover everything, and therefore I'd be grateful if you could read it, give feedback, but perhaps most importantly submit something to NEN yourself.
You can find my thoughts here... BYOD: NEN Consultation « Irritable Tech
As a systems manager who has been trying to implement a scheme, (and trying to get our LEA on board) I think it's really important to get some feedback from us non teachers. So please if you can spare five minutes, put something together.
@GrumbleDook rightly pointed out to me on twitter that the consultation should include feedback on 1:1 schemes, as many lessons could be learned from organisations who have looked to this approach. However that isn't the line my school has taken, and therefore I didn't really factor this in to my response.
If wireless isn't the correct place for this, sorry mods...
GrumbleDook (9th October 2012)
By 2p is that there are two key factors. The first is as you point out the use of transparent proxies. I should be able to connect any device to the network with no config be it windows, mac, linux, android, iOS etc etc. Completely transparent and device agnostic
Take the above point and combine it with Office 365 or Google Apps and then BYOD can just happen for 90% of students. They don't need a college PC to access any resource, just a modern web browser and the above internet access and bang job done, again completely device agnostic.
Those edge cases requiring fat client programs such as CAD, Adobe suite etc can be catered for in labs or on their own devices in different ways.
I think the biggest issues surrounding this is the seismic shift needed by admins in the way networks are managed. The public wifi becomes a wild west which you have very little control over, but so what, it's no different then hooking up the wifi in starbucks.
Thanks danbuntu
I did touch on the requirement to open up, or rethink document storage to allow BYOD devices to connect. I happen to believe that the most powerful 'app' on any platform is the web browser.
I'd hope most schools understand that BYOD is not a replacement for traditional ICT suites, and the higher end software packages. Mobile devices compliment traditional computers rather than replace them in my opinion.
I think you make a very good point regarding admins. Network managers are often fairly protective of their systems. For some, it's a big step to allow untrusted devices onto the network. However this really shouldn't be an issue as long as security is regulary audited, and vulnerabilities actioned upon.
With transparent proxies, how are the users authenticating?
we use the byod to connect devices to our citrix network. so they kids can have "school" look and feel.

You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of big bands formed in the 1930s that continue to perform today, long after the storied Big Band Era has faded from national craze to modest footnote in American musical history. Foremost among the survivors is the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the latest incarnation of which was established more than half a century ago in 1956, about a dozen years after Miller's disappearance on a presumably routine flight over the English Channel during World War II. Nick Hilscher, an admirable singer who first saw and heard the ...read more
One Of the Kings Of Swing
While many people argued whether Goodman or Shaw was the better musician, nobody during the Swing Era could ignore that Glenn Miller left both of them in his wake once he hit the scene. Sure, the bespectacled, tight-lipped bandleader seemed more like the leader of a choir than a swing band, but his keen arranging skills and ear for melody ensured that at least every other tune he recorded seemed like the anthem of the age. He was the most popular bandleader of his day, playing the Glen Island Casino during the summer, the ...read more
The idea of Glenn Miller being the godfather of bop at first sounds like the most outlandish of ideas. Yet this is just what he became. In 1939, Glenn Miller recorded the first evidence we have of what would become known as be-bop (later known as bop).
Webster's Ninth Collegiate Dictionary tells us that bop is jazz characterized by harmonic complexity, convoluted melodic lines, and constant shifting of accents and played at a very rapid tempo." The word be-bop comes from the Spanish word ariba," which means Go!" The Miller recording we are going to examine was a ...read more
Chapter 1 - in which the cat gets the cream. The Miller band at the height of their powers playing sixteen lapidary lyrical gems from Porter's equal, Johnny Mercer, recorded when both were flying. And although Mercer's albums with Benny Goodman are better celebrated, Miller's respect for the man he called the best matches Mercer smile for smile and innuendo for innuendo.His band's witty, stylish charts, cushioned by the insouciant confidence of a nation not at war, slink and slide like cats' tails through the singers' legs to mimic Mercer's phrasing. Yet because this is a movie Show ...read more

December 18, 2014
Hospital officials say that twin Bangladeshi girls who were joined at the top of their heads and shared brain tissue have successfully been separated after 25 hours of delicate surgery.
Leo Donnan, chief of the Royal Children's Hospital, says that both girls are doing "very well" after the surgery, which concluded Tuesday.
He says the next step is reconstructive surgery, which will last many hours.
A team of 16 surgeons and nurses began work Monday on separating the 2-year-old Bangladeshi orphans, Trishna and Krishna, who were brought to Australia as infants by an aid organization.
Doctors had given them a 25 percent chance of surviving the separation surgery without brain damage or other major problems.

I've been using an app called Torque for a while now and wasn't sure if it was common knowledge around these parts. I originally set it up to diagnose some engine issues (turned out to be fuel contamination in the end) but along the way found this app and now use it everyday for displaying extra info about the car while I'm driving, using my phone as a display. Noticed that some people have used a USB OBD2 adapter with a russian program called FF2, this uses the ELM327 interface too.
Lots of info and screenshots below about all the different features:
You can buy the bluetooth adapters all over the place, I got mine from ebay. I can't remember the particular seller where I got mine from, just make sure it is v1.5 onwards e.g. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1c2adfb8e5
You can get mini versions but mine is an original full size one and fits in the OBD2 port in my focus mk2 24/7 and I never knock it.
If you already have an android phone and have it mounted in the car when you are driving, its a no-brainer.
Will put pics, more details, app config stuff etc if anybody is interested

DELEON SPRINGS -- The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a pedestrian who apparently walked into the path of an oncoming Amtrak train was struck and killed Friday night.
The collision occurred at around 8:30 p.m., between Lemon Street and Mud Lake Road.
The victim is adult man whose identity is not yet known.
The northbound train was en-route to New York, with approximately 164 passengers on board. The train stopped after the collision, which was reported to the Sheriff's Office by CSX Transportation at 8:36 p.m.

Migrating from Centos/Virtual users/Mysql/Postfix/Courier to LDAP/Pfix/Dovecot
I followed this howto:
What I would like to do is migrate from virtual users in mysql to openldap backend with postfix and dovecot (to be able to use sieve).
Is there a page somewhere that describes the process in migrating existing mail/users from the /home/vmail folder to ldap user folders? or is another method preferred?
I should clarify. I don't think migrating the mail itself is going to be an issue, simply the users. There are users in the mysql db that do not exist on my system normally, so I would like to make sure they can still log in. Mor eor less looking for a way to migrate the users from the mysql db to ldap.

One of the purest raw talents in any event on the FIS Freestyle World Cup, at just 17 years of age Torin Yater-Wallace has already risen through the ranks to become one of the best halfpipe skiers in the world.
Hailing from the skiing mecca of Aspen, Colorado, Torin started cutting his teeth on the slopes of Aspen Snowmass at one and half years old, and by the age of 7 was honing the skills that would eventually elevate him to superstar status as a member the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club.
It would probably be wrong to describe Torin's rise through the ranks of halfpipe skiing as "meteoric," then. More accurately it just, simply, was.
In 2011 he claimed his first X-Games medal - a halfpipe silver - at the age of 15, making him the third youngest competitor to ever suit up for Winter X and the youngest competitor period to claim a medal there. By the time he had reached 16 he had followed this performance up with a win in his first ever World Cup event at La Plagne, FRA, a bronze at X-Games Europe, and another bronze at the Winter X-Games at home in Aspen.
Since then, he's gone on to claim three more X-Games medals (including back-to-back wins at the 2012 and 2013 Euro X-Games), take down four more World Cup podiums (including a win at the February 2013 Olympic test event in Sochi), and notch a silver at the 2013 FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships in Oslo, NOR.
On Torin's best day, there are few in the world who can touch what the young American is capable of in the halfpipe. And, unfortunately for his competition, his best days often come during the biggest events. With his win at last year's test event in Sochi, the mental edge may already be Torin's heading into the Olympic debut for ski halfpipe. And that, combined with his unassailable bag of tricks, may be all he needs to be unbeatable.

I used the lowest strength retin-a for 7 months. I had a very bad reaction to it at first and later my skin kind of got used to it. Then i suddenly realized that my skin was worse before I started. My face looked like it was made of wax, it was 10 shades lighter then my neck, and my skin was very thin, and less plump. I had no acne problem prior to starting this, just had very slight laugh lines. Now I have deep laugh lines, forehead wrinkles and my cheeks look saggy. Before I started using this God Forsaken cream I used to look much younger. I often got confused for a high school student, now I look 10-15 years older then my age. My eyes also look sunken in, and have very visible under eye bags. I did not use this cream under my eyes ever, by the way. I deeply regret using retin-A, I am very depressed about how my skin looks, to the point of being suicidal sometimes. It has destroyed my self confidence. I have been off it for 3 months and there has been no improvement. I'm afraid the damage it's done to my skin is irreversible. If anyone has gone through this and their skin improved, please send me a message and let me know what you did and how long it took for your skin to recover.

This product saved my skin after 10 years of battling with acne. Just wrote a review of this on my blog - http://bellabae.net/2014/11/28/finally-how-i-cured-my-acne/
This is an amazing product for acne and hyperpigmentation; I started using Retin-A 0.05% one year ago. I now use Retin-A micro 0.04% and feel that it is better suited for my skin. A lot of the excessive irritation that many write about in their reviews, can easily be avoided by using the correct amount of product, and by keeping with a simple skincare routine. I use Cerave's Foaming Cleanser to cleanse my skin and I wait 30 minutes prior to applying the Retin-A Micro. I use less than a pea and that covers my entire face. I take less than a pea and place one dot of the product on each cheek, my forehead, chin and nose. I then lightly spread the product around each area of my face. I found that applying the product this way significantly reduced the dryness that I had for the short amount of time that I had the dryness. I then apply Cerave's moisturizing cream 30 minutes later.
In the daytime I use the same Cerave cleanser and I use the ZO Skin Health Daily Power Defence and the ZO Skin Oclipse SPF 30. I also use the Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Original Peel once a week during the nighttime and I have never had any sort of irritation. I don't use tretinoin on the night that I use the peel. I also did not peel while using Retin-A at all. For the first two weeks of using tretinoin, I had a little bit of dryness in the morning, but this is normal and goes away after your skin gets accustomed to the product.
I decided to write this review because I see a lot of negative reviews that might hinder someone from using this product and everyone's skin is different. If you are not watching how someone applies the product, nor what they use before during and after use, you cannot take their negative reviews seriously. Something else could be affecting their skin that they nor you know about. Unless you are allergic to the product, which your dermatologist would find out prior to use, you will not get any swelling on your face. It should also not take a year for your skin to get used to the product - especially if you are using this product under a dermatologist's guidance. Of course, if you stop using the product, especially before your skin becomes accustomed to it, your skin is going to revert back to the way it was before you started using it. This is a product that almost every dermatologist/ physician recommends to their patient (including celebrities). The before and after photos speak for themselves. If you ever wonder why someone's skin is amazing even when their in their in their 60s and up, it's definitely because of Tretinoin, peels, and a simple skincare routine.

Clears up skin, but not any better than other topical products. Even the pea sized amount causes swelling that looks like minimal weight gain. Makes skin peel. And the peeling never goes away, that is how the product works, by peeling the skin. My skin peels every day/every other day, and I've been using it for years. May prevent future photo aging. Overall, improved my skin. I mean, my skin looks great, except for the minor swelling that is always there.
However, do not stop using this product - and I do mean...EVER - it will be worse than before you started it. My dermatologist told me that after years of use, the skin gets used to Retin-A/tretinoin. It gets 'lazy' in effect. I took off for a about a month & it was a disaster. My skin was was rough, dull, hard & dry...like it had lost it's ability to naturally exfoliate itself. And my acne was worse than before I had ever started on it. While I had mild acne before, my acne was much worse after using this product for a few years, and then stopping it. My skin never looked like that before I started on Retin-A. I also never had hardness or dullness, or skin that was 'lazy' in exfoliating itself.
I asked my dermatologist why she never warned me that if I stop using it, this may happen, and she just shrugged and said "it's not something most patients worry about". Now I'm stuck using it, whether I want to or not. Guess I'm OK with this though, since my skin looks so good. But, I'll never know if my skin would have just cleared up on it's own had I given it enough time, or just used something less severe.

Background info: I use Tretinoin (generic Retin-A) cream, 0.025%, and have been doing so for just shy of three months now. I use it every other night, 30 minutes after my shower so my face is totally dry. I use Cerave AM in the morning for the SPF content, and sometimes on the "off-nights" for the moisture.
This isn't an acne cure-all for me. I have a long history of acne and only internal measures banish it (that would be a whole other post). However, I LOVE Retin-A for what it does to my skin texture. It has practically erased my red hyperpigmentation (I'm very fair and it was bothering me), and it has made my skin dewy, soft, glowy and smooth. I also had clogged, sandpapery-feeling pores on my nose I couldn't get rid of...gone within two weeks of starting this stuff.
I didn't purge (probably because I'm taking my acne supplements; I do break out when I forget those), but I have sensitive skin and did flake a lot for the first month. I only wash my face with water, so during that month and maybe twice a week now I use a warm, wet washcloth to gently towel excess flaky skin off my face.
Long story short, I don't usually put much stock in skin care products due to my long history with skin troubles. They either never really did much or made things worse. This, however, is one product where I really see a positive difference. Seriously, I'm glowing, and my red pigmented splotches are nearly invisible; they will almost definitely be gone soon.
The supposed anti-aging benefit doesn't hurt anything. I'm still young, but I'd like to keep it (looking) that way! I can definitely see why this would be a good anti-age product...it's tightened up my skin so much already.
I like this stuff. A lot. Definitely going to keep it on hand.

I use the more advanced Tazorac 1%. Been using for over twenty years. I use bha and aha, also Duac, when I need it. All have been awesome. I was on Accutane 2x because my skin was so bad. This routine has cleared any signs of anything. But, the real key is zinc oxide, I have been using sunscreen all my life, everyday. I never thought the leathery tan look was sexy and any man I know doesn't think so either. I'm 43 have no wrinkles no line around my lips eyes even smile line do not exist,

I have been put on Retin A 1%, I'm close to finishing the tube. Can anyone advise me where to purchase it at a reasonable price? This stuff is the holy grail.
I have used retin-a cream (0.05%) for 1 week! No irritation, redness, mild purging only :)
I follow the directions of waiting 30 mins after washing my face before retin-a application. My routine is as follows:
Wash, Tone, Wait 30 Mins, Apply Retin-A, Apply Vitamin C serum, Apply Night Moisturizer.
Sometimes, I buffer retin-a with my serum. I use a pea-size amount to a bit more to cover my whole face. It has this weird glue smell.
Immediate effect: glowing skin :)
I will update this post how it will affect my skin in the next 3-4 months.
I could have listed the high end brands that I have used since I was 19, it was more like a hobby. I was not interested in makeup so I could't cover up, had to look for something that really made a difference.
I loved the smell and the luxury that came with those creams and serums but now I understand that Retin A and sunblock are the only two products that anyone would need when it comes to topical skin care routine and everything else depends on how well you take care of your skin internally .

Same to you!
Yous too!
As typical, I'm sure, of this time of the year. I got my first home brew kit. Just wanted to let everyone know that I look forward to gaining knowledge. I'm Jake, I'm 27, from Pittsburgh, and love beer!
Hope to chat, learn, share ideas, and possibly swap beer soon!
Awesome jake, welcome! What kind of kit did u get?
Welcome Jake! This is an awesome community with lots of knowledge on here. Enjoy the new obsession!
Merry Christmas to you too Jake!
You found the right place to help find great advice on brewing and it's more than that here. HBT, you know the acronymn but there is another it stands for Home Brew Town. Stick around long enough and you'll know where that place is.
Welcome aboard!
Sounds like you are having a Merry Christmas! Here's to a Happy New Year of brewing. You will find that this site and its members are ready, willing and able to answer almost any question you will have about your new hobby, soon to become an obsession.
True Brew. As far as I know from my research, it has all I need. Pretty sure the girlfriend did a good job. Haha.
I really look forward to starting with extract. I really want to learn how to take a beer but add my own twists to it. Like flavors and ingredients.
Extract is a great, don't sell yourself or extract short. There are people who never quit extract brewing for one reason or anohter.
If you want to go all grain someday, you'll know the time. Till then, just have fun brewing and drinking the beer you make.

American Standard Champion 4 Elongated Toilet
Maintenance Might be an Issue
Bought the Champion 4 two years ago and it works like a charm. The self-closing seat seemed flimsy and I expected it to fail soon but it is holding up. However, the flapper seal failed in about a year and a replacement could not be found at the big-box home stores. Turns out there is a 10-year guarantee that covers the flapper valve. I called the manufacturer and they mailed one to me (actually they sent the entire flush valve because the flapper is not designed to be replaced). The replacement involved removing the tank to replace the flapper valve assembly. Although this is straightforward, it may be beyond the abilities of some homeowners. Most flapper valves on other toilets can be obtained at a hardware store and installed in a few minutes. This took about 45 minutes. Upon inspection of the failing flapper I noticed there is a rubber ring that actually makes the seal and it had several bubbles on the sealing surface preventing it from sealing. Working on the old flapper I was able to unscrew the one-way connector that is designed to be unscrewed and remove the rubber seal from the flapper. Next time this fails, I'll use this technique to remove the defective/worn seal and replace it with a new seal turning the task into a 10-minute job. I'd guess the seal is a $1.00 item, but to get it after the warranty is up you'd have to get an entire flush valve assembly that no doubt cost north of $25.

Great Toilet
I have had the Champion 4 in my home and working for about one month and for the purchase fee that I paid a better toilet is not available. I am going buy another one in the near future so that I can have the same experience in both of my baths and not have to run to the bath with my Champion 4 in it.
May 9, 2014
champion 4
I purchased 2 of these toilets in February of 2013 a week or so later after install I had to drain both of the toilets because the seal was leaking between the tank and the bowl. I turned the seal 180 degrees and reinstalled. No problems until December 19th 2013 (last night) I notice water coming from under the toilet, only the master bath toilet. It doesn't appear to be dirty water so I am not sure if the bowl is cracked or what is going on but im tired of the problems!!
December 20, 2013
Poor quality control
I bought this toilet in 2009 for my half bath and love it. Have never had a problem with it. So last month I bought one for my master bath and one for my guest bath. The holes in the base for the toilet seat are not centered on both toilets. They are off by about 1/2 inch. Even the "American Standard" stamp is noticeably crooked. When bolted on, the seat sits off to one side and it is very noticeable. How did this get through quality control? Fortunately the company we bought them from are sending replacements. I just hope they are not defective as well.
November 21, 2013
easy choice
We changed out all of our toilets (4 of them) to this model while remodeling our 1989 home. It had a great flush rating, the 'bucket of golf balls' claim sold my husband.
August 22, 2013
Trouble Free - Well worth it!
We were always having to plunge our old toilet, as well as repair or replace the internal components, which was a constant hassle. We replaced it with a Champion 4 toilet from American Standard and the troubles were gone! Since installing it in 2009, we've probably only had to plunge it a few times and haven't had any other problems with it at all! We highly recommend this toilet - spend the extra $$$ and save yourself all the nasty hassles that are so common with the other cheaper toilets!
August 22, 2013
It is a champion for sure!
This water closet is truly the best product by far! Works with one flush everytime, never clogs, easy to install, reasonably priced and saves on your water bill. We have a plumbing business and highly recommend it to all of our clients...AND, we have them in our home. Very satisfied plumbing contractor & customer.

Steady performer.
I have been a part of installing this product several times and have never been disappointed.

bobby do you have any firewall enabled on the server ? well if so you might get rid of the php error by opening the 110 port or whichever port it is trying to use.
But myself i still have not been able to get ftp,bind and pop3 working at all (testing site on it another story) so probably somethings are not in place properly in the installer , but only maker of it can tell more about it. I wonder if the ftp on the demo site works.
